Chapter 13: The Old And New Flame! Ignite!
"Do you understand my proposition now Wily?"
"… So if this deal is made… I can have it?" replied the shady figure of Dr. Wily.
"Yes… I will give you the technology and information to for it to happen."
"It is an interesting idea… I never knew it would be possible." He answered.
"No… It is possible, and more… Much more."
"Let me see a sample of this power of yours first." Requested Dr. Wily.
"If that is all that is needed to convince you, then I shall!" declared Techno.

Tamer's World
"Renamon! Watch out behind you!" shouted Rika as Black Renamon appeared behind her partner.
Black Renamon sneered, "Diamond Storm." Black glowing shards appeared before her and shot forward too fast for Renamon to react, causing her to take the full damage.
Renamon grunted in pain as she took the damage from a version of her own attack, but she turned as her paw started glowing, "Power Paw!" as she punched her counterpart in the face, giving back damage. The Black Renamon was thrown backwards from the melee damage.
Rika winced as she saw what happened, over the last month, Digimon attacks had been more common, and every few days, the hazard symbol in the sky which only the tamers could see would shoot out a black light near one of the tamer's Digimon and start attacking in a black version of the Digimon. Rika had been expecting an attack, since only she had not been attacked yet.
Renamon then phased out and phased back in the air above Black Renamon, "Diamond Storm!" she said as white shards covered Black Renamon and exploded, which stopped Black Renamon's backward movement to a instant change to a downward movement, which wasn't very long since the ground was very near.
Falling down towards Black Renamon, Renamon's paw started glowing again, "Power Paw!" she shouted again.
As she came down towards Black Renamon, she noticed that her opposite was indeed smiling, "Rapid Kick!" said the Black version.
Black Renamon flipped onto her head with her hands and pushed outwards, shooting towards Renamon feet first. Black Renamon's right foot paw started glowing, and as she neared Renamon, because of her leg's longer reach than Renamon's arm, Black Renamon attacked and hit first.
One, two, four, eight, sixteen. Black Renamon's foot attacked and hit Renamon multiple times before they both dropped back down. Due to being attacked, Renamon's power paw was canceled.
Getting up, Renamon took a breather and waited for her opponent. Unfortunately, the other Renamon did not allow her to take a break and appeared in front of her with a glowing paw, "Power Paw!"
Renamon was surprised, and this costed her as she was hit in the stomach making her lose her breath and shoot backwards from the impact.
"Renamon! Come on! You can do it! Get up!" shouted Rika encouragingly.
Hearing Rika's words, Renamon did her best to show her tamer that she wasn't down just yet.
"Diamond-" Said Renamon as her attack started gathering in front of her. She then disappeared as she teleported towards another spot and reappeared right in front of Black Renamon, "Storm!" At close range, her main attack covered Black Renamon again and exploded.
A few seconds later, when Black Renamon didn't get back up, as if signaling defeat yet again, a black beam shot out from the hazard symbol and absorbed Black Renamon before retreating back to the symbol. The bottom right triangle was now completely solid. The red light that they could see through it was also so much brighter and bigger.

"Whaat? Ranma's in the Medical room!" exclaimed Evani as the information was given to her by the well-informed Tom.
"Yea, I overheard some guy was carrying a kid to there, I looked in and saw Ranma there! I hear it's part of a training accident!" replied Tom.
"I heard something about that too from my uncle, he said that there was some kind of new training program designed by Douglas." Said Niro, who was always prying into his uncle's business.
"Well, shouldn't we go check up on him?" said Hurai.
Hurai received the answers, "Yea.", "Okay.", and "Hurry!" from his three friends.
The four rushed down to the medical room and got permission to see Ranma inside his room. They were then shown Ranma's room and entered, seeing Ranma already awake and sitting up with the TV on news of the recent fire outbursts and talking to Axl.
Looking up to see the interruption, Ranma saw his friends and answered with a cheerful, "Hi!"
Niro and Hurai apparently were too slow to react to Evani's and Tom's push and fell forward as the other two rushed forward to see if Ranma was alright.
"You got hurt?" asked Hurai.
"How? Did you get beat up by your teacher again?" asked Evani.
"Umm… No… I was training and this happened." answered Ranma.
Flashback
"Don't tell anyone about the machine Ranma." Said Kenshin softly to Ranma as he was putting Ranma into the bed.
Ranma, even in his bad state and unconsciousness, mumbled a small, "K…" before he started snoring.
Kenshin smiled a bit and walked out of the room to let Ranma rest.
End Flashback
"That sounds fishy…" said Hurai, "Just how were you training?"
"Ummm… Doing… Uh…" muttered Ranma thinking of something to say.
"He was swinging giant boulders into himself while tying himself up in a tree." Spoke out Axl.
Ranma quickly looked down at Axl with a surprised look, "How did yo-"
"That sounds even stupider…" muttered Niro.
"If he doesn't want to say then it's alright." Said Evani helping Ranma out of the situation.
Tom thought for a moment before asking Ranma, "Where's Takato? He's usually with you, and I haven't seen him lately."
Three heads nodded in agreement as they looked at Ranma, who was trying to figure out what to say, without revealing the confidential information he had been told.
"Umm… Well, something's wrong with Midi, something that's different from most problems with Navis, and no one knows how to fix him. So Takato's been kinda sad."
"Oh…" was all Tom said.
"… When can you get out?" asked Evani in an attempt to change the subject.
"Umm, it should be soon, because I heal fast." Answered Ranma.
"Okay then, I'll see you when you get out. Bye." Said Niro bluntly as he left the room.
"… Something wrong with him? Even though Niro's usually rude, he's not like that." Said Ranma thoughtfully.
"Well, I think it has something to do with his uncle. He's been acting kind of weird lately." Said Hurai.
"Really…" muttered Ranma.
"Well, we should get going too Ranma. Sorry to leave you here all by yourself." Said tom as he apologetically looked at Ranma.
Ranma shook his head, "No, it's fine. Maybe you should go see Takato."
Evani nodded and said, "See you later Ranma."
The other three then left the room. Ranma, on the other hand looked back towards the TV where it had just reported another incident, "Weird... That's the tenth one this week. Oh well, time for some anime."
Ranma was then watching and humming along to the opening 'Northern Lights', before he got impatient and just skipped it after 10 seconds. It got boring after seeing the same opening of the same series back to back. Sure it was the second opening, but still…
-----
Niro walked quietly down the hallway with his hands in his pockets. His Navi, Feuer, also stayed quiet so that Niro could think in peace, well in what peace he could get in the busy hallway.
"He's been acting too lively… He's not usually like that, it feels wrong…" muttered Niro as he approached the door to the room where he was residing in. The room was filled with many stacks of boxes which contained all kind of disks, models of guns, and many other things.
Niro walked into his room and took out a small holoprojector and a small disk. Over to the TV, he disconnected the TV cables, and inserted the holoprojector's cable. He then inserted the disk into it.
"He always watched this video… Almost everyday…" muttered Niro as he watched he turned off the lights, bathing the whole room in darkness except for the light from the projector. Niro sat quietly on the couch. A few minutes later, he fell asleep. Feuer, who had lately been neglecting the energy of the Pet switched off to let the Pet recharge.
A few moments later, the sound of the keypad outside the door was heard inside the room. The door then made a clicking sound and it was unlocked. The door then slid open, and in came a man. He quickly took a glance around the darkened and messy room before he found Niro asleep on the couch in front of a projector that was still on with his Pet switched off next to him. The man gave a sigh of relief, there wouldn't be a struggle. He smoothly and quickly walked over to Niro's Pet without knocking any of the stacks over and put it in the extra Pet holder on his hip next to his own. He then picked up Niro into his arms and carried him out of the room again not knocking anything over.
The door slid open as he walked in front of it and closed as he went out. A few seconds later, the click of the lock turning back on was heard. After that, it was completely silent in the room except for the narrator of the video being shown on the projector.
"The steaming hot lava that flows from the volcano burns at about 2000 degrees Celsius." It said as the image of flowing lava was shown.
The picture then turned to the image of the sun, "The sun burns at about 6000 degrees Celsius..."
-----
Takato lay on his bed in his darkened room, disgusted at himself. Sure, he should be worried about Midi, but to be as worried to act like this? He had heard someone knock on the door, yet he pretended that he was asleep and didn't hear. Maybe because he already didn't know what happened to Guilmon, and now he also had to wait for Midi to be fixed. He had to wait for Guilmon to show up again. He just wanted Guilmon and Midi back with him so he could be more relaxed. He was always on edge, not knowing if Guilmon's signal would show up again too.
But then, both of them were his partners. He didn't think Guilmon could be plugged into the Net. Guilmon was also a Digimon, not a Net Navigator. Deciding to go to the roof to get some fresh air, Takato got off his bed and walked over to the door and watched it slide open before he walked out and the door slid behind him. Takato walked through the thinning crowd in the hallway before he came to a set of stairs that went up high. He put his foot on the bottom step and started walking his way up.
A few moments later, Takato found himself out on the empty roof at night, it was pretty windy too. Well, it wasn't so empty, since there was another person up here. Taking a look at him, Takato found that Hurai was already here. Hurai was looking out over the area as if he were in a trance. Then, he suddenly broke out of that trance and looked over at the door where Takato was. Surprise was first on Hurai's face, before it turned into a smile. Hurai then waved Takato to come over.
As the two looked out into the sky and at the city behind the forest with all the lights, Takato realized why Hurai would just stand there and look outwards like that. It was very beautiful, with the city lights in the distance and the stars up in the night sky twinkling. Takato began to feel a bit calmer as he stood in silence. That silence was then interrupted by Hurai's voice.
"Do you feel it?" he asked.
"What?" asked Takato confusedly.
"Doesn't it feel as if you would fall asleep, yet you don't really? You feel as if you're dreaming but you aren't. I don't know how to really explain it, but the best I can do is that it feels… peaceful and calming." Explained Hurai.
Takato took a moment before answering, "Yea, I do."
There was another brief moment of silence before Hurai spoke again, "Why didn't you answer when we knocked on your door?"
Takato looked awkwardly to the side as he realized it was his friends who were at his door, "I wasn't feeling my best at that time."
"… Because of Midi?" asked Hurai.
"How did you…"
"We asked Ranma why we didn't see you around the place anymore." Answered Hurai, "I know you're depressed, and you should be. But there's no reason to be depressed that you're neglecting your daily life."
Takato sighed, Hurai was right. But he couldn't believe that someone that was younger than him was saying this to him.
"We're all worried about you Takato. Cheer up." Finished Hurai.
"Thanks… 'Rai'" said Takato.
"Hey! Don't call me that!" exclaimed Hurai upon hearing the nickname he hated.
"Hehe, I'm going back downstairs now. See ya." Said Takato.
Hurai replied without looking, "Right… Right…"
-----
The next day, while Ranma was finally released from the medical ward, Axl was inside the Net at one of the independent training areas. Axl was standing there again sorting through the files he had received from his brief time while Ranma was using the invention. After a moment, his eyes lit up as he found what he was looking for.
Axl amusedly said, "I know how to do it… But I've never done it before, nor do I have any experience. This sure is a weird feeling, this knowledge…"
Getting somewhat serious, Axl then said as he led himself through, "Alright… Let's see… Focus inward… Breathe normally… Focus…"
After a few minutes of merely trying to focus, Axl finally gave up trying.
"It's different, I'm a computer program, but he's a human. I'm surrounded by data which is in everything... And he's surrounded by ki, which is in everything… That's it! That's the main difference! Alright, I can already access the data around me, so maybe… Maybe Navis already know this… But just not really know what it can do." Exclaimed Axl.
Experimenting first, Axl accessed his Pet's schedule data, and pointed a finger in front of him and pulled it down diagonally to the right. From there formed a rectangular flat screen that showed the schedule his Pet contained. Not surprisingly, it was completely empty, not even used once. Axl put that schedule away, and tried to access the data to transport to another section, immediately, as if it was natural, Axl disappeared from his spot in a bunch of blue cubes, and appeared in another training area. Believing he had gotten the feel of accessing data, Axl then tried to access unused data, data that was basically useless.
"Hgg…" groaned Axl as he tried to get the feel of the data around him. He should be able to do it, since he believed it was just like Ranma drawing in Ki. Axl knew how to do it, but he had to add an extra step to it, which was accessing the data before drawing it in. It was a theory, but Axl believed it to be correct.
In a few moments, a small lump of data started gathering together in front of Axl. Looking down at it in excitement, Axl lost his concentration and the data became unstable, it then basically exploded as the data did not belong together with a bang.
Axl's hand and face was immediately consumed by the explosion since he was holding the data in one hand and had held it near his face to look at it.
"Damn. Well at least I know that I was right. Again."
After a few moments, and after experiencing it once, Axl found that it became somewhat less straining. After a few moments of building the data that was gathering up together, Axl tried to take a closer look without loosing his concentration. Unfortunately, Axl lost his concentration.
"Goddammit!"
Again, the data exploded with a bang.
-----
Ranma was sitting in class, not really listening to his teacher. He was in fact, staring at an empty seat that should be filled, the seat where Niro should be before his head turned to look out the window which he was sitting beside while resting a chin on his right hand while his elbow was resting on the table. Niro had been missing for about three days, which was unusual. Niro wasn't the type of guy who would stay down just because he was sick. Niro would pretend nothing was happening and pretend he was fine. When Ranma had asked Niro's uncle about it, he had said Niro was very sick, which Ranma had already decided was not true.
"Jeez… Damn heater's on too hot…" muttered Ranma.
He had then thought if Niro had gone somewhere else, but Niro wasn't the silent type of guy who sneaked off… That would be Tom. Now Tom seemed to always appear and disappear, Ranma could have sworn that Tom could teleport or something. Ranma wasn't the only person who was worried, Takato, Hurai, Evani and Tom were all curious about what had happened.
Axl had been fixed, and Ranma was currently trying his best to try and understand all the things about Navi programming and repairing that he had found in the library. He would much rather be looking for more information than coming to class. But if he skipped class, Yanoto would probably hear of it and then, knowing that guy, Yanoto would probably think it was too much trouble to try and talk Ranma into going to class and send Alia after him instead which was something Ranma really wanted to avoid.
Taking a quick scan around the room, he noticed that other people were also noticing that it was quite hot in the room too.
Ranma's mind then went over a bunch of other ideas that he thought he could try and copy from several anime. Soon, Ranma's eyes started to droop as he lost interest in what he was thinking about. Thinking was boring after all. Ranma's right arm then gave out and Ranma's head fell onto the table not really aware with a thump. The 17-year old turned 8 year old boy then fell asleep while.
The teacher at the front of the room, paid no attention at all to the sound and checked the room's heater. She was used to Ranma's habit of falling asleep, and trying to get him to wake up was nearly impossible. The boy wouldn't wake unless he wanted to. Maybe she should bring a pail of cold water someday. Most of the students did, and they snickered and laughed a little before turning back to the lesson.
Ranma was aware of his name being called, but he did not want to reply to it. He was also aware of how his head was not in a comfortable position, and also aware of the pain in his neck from having been in the same position of resting his head on the desk, but he did not want to move as he was still somewhat sleeping. He was then aware of someone nudging him and calling his name at the same time. Annoyed, Ranma let out a groan and tried to swat at the hand to leave him alone.
"Ranma wake up! Fire is breaking out all over the place!" screamed Takato.
With that scream, Ranma's mind immediately came on and quickly, his hand shot out to grab his Pet and stand up. Looking around the room, Ranma immediately saw that fire was indeed all over the classroom. It seemed to be mostly near things that were electronical too and was slowly spreading. He then noticed that someone was using the fire extinguisher but to no avail. Ranma then noticed that a couple of students had their Pets plugged in and others were running out of the classroom.
"Wha… What's happening?" asked Ranma confusedly coughing a bit from the smoke.
"We don't really know, the fire just suddenly started in the classroom. When we tried to get out, we found out that it wasn't only the classroom, but all over this section of the building. But it wasn't just fire, there were other problems too! The doors to the other wings are all blocked so we can't help each other out! We heard that there's fire here, oxygen is being redirected out of the building and to outside somewhere else, water's flooding in another wing! But it turns out there are a lot of Viruses in the system. Actually it's more like a whole army!" explained Takato quickly, "I would be helping, but without Midi…"
Quickly deciding, Ranma said, "Don't worry, maybe you should go and help the other students out of here, they're actually kids unlike us. I'm gonna help and clear out the Viruses."
Takato hesitantly nodded, he didn't want to abandon his friends, but he knew that staying here wouldn't really be much help, "If the fire gets too close, get out of here." He said before he ran out of the room.
Ranma then headed quickly over to where he could find a Plug to send Axl through. It seemed that some other children had been brave enough to stay behind, but they were visibly afraid, and because they were afraid, their Operator skills were not at the best, which still wasn't great anyways.
"Shiningman! No!" screamed a student as his Navi was forced to Plug-Out. Running over to him, Ranma quickly told him to get out and let him use the Plug.
"Alright then. Get in there Axl!" said Ranma skipping the long much used phrase.
Axl had been silent and listening this whole time before he was plugged in. When he appeared in the Net, he was immediately surprised, this was more like a full-scale fire type attack. There were different types of Spikeys, Volgears, Fire type Swordies, and other fire types. Many Navis of different operators were all doing their best to hold them all off.
Axl gritted his teeth as he had his gun appear and he immediately started attacking, "This is bad Ranma, I think the Viruses have some kind of portal they're coming through… Otherwise they would have been long gone at the rate all these Navis and destroying them at."
Surveying the area through his Pet, Ranma looked on frustrated, he wished desperately that he could actually get in there to help but he knew that was impossible. It was times like these in this world that would piss off the martial artist.
"Axl, see if you can get to the other Navis, it'll be too hard on your own!" said Ranma as he looked for where the others were. He then noticed a group of three over to Axl's right, "Axl! Head to the right! Uhh, what the hell were their names again… Ow, Vein and Kuro? Damn the weird names!" said Ranma.
Nodding, Axl continually cleared a path with his gun as he made his way towards the group. Eau was defending with aqua towers, bubble shots, and other ranged chips and at the same time firing her default buster.
Escuro was tactic he seemed to favour of having two swords at the same time and appearing in one spot for a few minutes before disappearing and reappearing in another spot using area steal.
Viento was doing his best to stay in the air with his boosters while shooting down below with a shotgun chip activated in one hand and a long sword on the other.
Spotting Axl, Viento shouted, "Axl! Get over here quick or you'll be surrounded!"
Axl then yelled back while clearing the area in front of him, "I'm already doing that you idiot!"
"Axl! I'm sending you a Vulcan chip!" said Ranma as he slotted the chip in.
Axl nodded as his left hand turned into a yellow cylinder gun with three barrels coming out of the end. He then aimed it at a bunch of Viruses and opened fire with the Vulcan. The end of the gun started rotating around as it repeatedly and quickly fired piercing bullets that went through Viruses to hit what was behind it. Each shot got weaker per Virus it passed through. While he was doing this, Axl was charging his trusty gun.
Quickly, the Vulcan ran out of use and Axl's hand returned to normal. At that same moment, Axl heard a click from his gun, "All right! Here comes my charged shot you goddamn viruses!" screamed Axl as he brought the gun up in his right and let loose the giant ball of energy.
Quickly, the shot decimated what was in its path and some surrounding it. A few moments later of traveling through the horde of Viruses, it then stopped and exploded.
"Holy crap Axl! There better not have been any Navis in that direction!" screamed Eau as she saw the shot explode.
From his position above everyone, Viento shouted down, "Don't worry! There isn't anyone that way!"
"Shut up and concentrate on staying plugged in!" shouted Escuro commandingly as another few Viruses were deleted from his two swords.
"Cover me for a moment guys! I'm gonna try something!" shouted Axl as he stepped back and started concentrating.
"Axl! What are you doing!" Shouted Ranma before a coughing fit came over him from the smoke, "Get back in the fight!"
"Don't worry Ranma! Just trust me and send me a barrier chip!" replied Axl calmly.
Muttering under his breath, Ranma did so and hoped Axl knew what he was doing.
Axl had his two hands together in front of him concentrating on accessing scrap data, "Here we go…" muttered Axl as a glowing and unstable red ball appeared between his hands, "Here I go!" screamed Axl as he jumped right into the middle of the a whole bunch of viruses. Immediately, they all turned and started to attack him.
"I hope this works well for me!" shouted Axl as he slammed the energy in his hands at his feet, "Barrier!" shouted Axl just as an explosion was created from the data Axl had forced together. Immediately dust and chunks of the terrain shot everywhere.
"Shit! Axl!" screamed Ranma worriedly, "What the hell did you do? Are you alright?"
A few moments later, Axl's voice came through, "I'm fine! The barrier was able to hold up against it!" Axl's form soon appeared back where the other Navis were, despite what he had said, Axl had gotten hurt. Axl then took a moment to collect himself before he brought himself to start fighting again.
"Ranma…" said Axl, "I'll show you what I gained from the small training time we had in the virtual room."
Axl ran straight up towards a Spikey and slid under the fireball sent at him from its mouth. He had a few seconds before the Spikey would disappear and reappear. In those few seconds, he could take it down. After slipping under the fireball, rolled under the Spikey and landed on his feet in a crouch. Keeping the momentum from rolling and standing up, Axl used his shoulder to hit the Spikey in the stomach. Hopefully it would work the same way hurting a human's stomach would stun them for a few seconds. He then, still under the Spikey kicked at the Spikey's back leg's knees, making it lose the back support, which made it fall backwards, leaving the throat vulnerable. Axl then came out from under the Spikey, turned and did a spin kick at the throat and neck, hurting the Spikey further. Not having figured out what to do next, Axl made his gun appear, and put it into the Spikey's mouth and pulled the trigger. The Spikey was then deleted.
Axl quickly went onto the next target, which was a Fire Swordy. Jumping over the horizontal slash he got as a greeting, Axl replied with a quick turn in mid-air to land behind the Swordy facing its back. He then reached forward to grab the Swordy's right arm which held the sword with his left, he the turned and grabbed the Swordy's green head thing with his right and turned so he was facing away from the Swordy and started pulling with his left, forcing the Swordy's sword to drop. Letting go of the Swordy's arm, Axl left his right hand where it was and turned again to reach for the Virus' visor with his left hand, and he then flipped and threw the Swordy in front of him. Axl then quickly dashed forward as more Viruses were closing in on him. Just as the Swordy was about to hit the ground, Axl reached forward with a leg and kicked it straight back up. Axl the jumped straight after it and over it. He then sent his leg slamming into the golden armor that the virus was made up of and sent it slamming into the ground, where its data then fell apart.
Ranma was surprised at what he saw, he didn't expect Axl to be able to do something like this, "How the hell did you learn all that!" he asked surprisedly.
"Like I said… From when we were in the virtual reality training room, your moves and reactions were all turned into data and inputted into my fighting abilities. I know it's not as good as you, but it's enough to take out these Viruses. They aren't durable enough to stand up to them, and once you find their weakness, it's easy. They're pretty stupid too." Explained Axl, a bit out a breath from what he did and still shooting around with his gun.
Ranma frowned, if he continued training at that place with Axl, then all the hard work he had done to gain his abilities would be quickly copied by Axl without as much effort.
"Axl! Don't get cocky, they're still coming!" shouted Viento from above.
"Okay!" answered Axl.
Deciding that this wasn't the time to complain, Ranma slotted in a count bomb that he had earned from defeating a certain type of Virus.
Seeing the bomb appear at his feet, Axl decided that it was not in a good spot. Keeping his balance, Axl lifted one leg backwards, and then brought it quickly forward to kick the counting down bomb into the Virus mob. Two seconds later, there was another explosion as it was set off, deleting and throwing off any viruses near it.
-----
"Not enough… This isn't enough… More excitement, Viruses won't do the job…" said a man with long red hair under his breath as he watched the Viruses attack from while sitting in his chair and watching the computer screen.
Hino Kenichi, or better known as Hinoken then said, "Fireman… Tell him I'll do the testing instead of him." Hinoken then grinned, "This will probably feed my flame!"
"Yes, Hinoken-Sama." Said Fireman as he quickly sent an email.
"He did say that it would be well suited for me" muttered Hinoken.
-----
Inside the Net, a red beam of light warped at some distance near where Axl was fighting. Suddenly that area suddenly was burned as a pillar of fire appeared in that spot.
Curious, Axl said, "Ranma, something's happening over there! I'm gonna check it out." He then turned towards the other Navis, "Hold out here while I see what's happening."
Ranma also grew increasingly curious as there were many cries of dismay through out the room as many Navis were forced to plug out, or some at worst, deleted. Takato came running back into the room and pulled whoever's Navis were too damaged out of the room. Hissing in pain as some of the fire got too close to him, he told Axl that he had to change ports. Looking around the classroom, Ranma couldn't find any that were unused and not swallowed up by fire already, other than him, there were only two other kids, Evani, Tom, and Hurai in the room.
Running out into the hallway and into a storage room, Ranma found another port in a radio out of all things. Plugging in, he was immediately met with a damage report screen, and a sharp sting on his hand.
"Axl! What's going on!" he said concerned.
"Ugh… That took too long Ranma… He completely overwhelmed me…" said Axl weakly back to Ranma. In the minute Axl had been disconnected from his Pet, he had met up with something that was very powerful.
Changing views, Ranma saw another Navi standing completely clean of any damage. It was basically a red themed Navi, which was dressed in heavy armor and had a large gun held in his right. On his helmet, there were two golden spikes above his eyes, and two smaller ones on his collar on either side of his head. That same Navi then started to speak in a low voice.
"Heh… I heard that you were really strong, and I expected you to be up to my standards. But you disappoint me! You weakling!" With that, the Navi aimed his right cannon at Axl and Axl saw fire literally build up inside the cannon mouth, "Kid, I'll let you live since I think you can get stronger. Get stronger and be a challenge for me! Remember the name of the Navi who gave you a second chance to live! Fefnir the Fire Guardian of Wily!"
With what he said finished, Fefnir fired his shot at Axl, and just barely miss a direct hit, but still immensely damaging Axl.
"Agh!" screamed Axl as he was forced to disconnect from the Net and go back into his Pet to be repaired.
"Damn!" snarled Ranma as he slammed his small fist into the wall in anger, cracking it due to his unusual strength, "If I were in there there's no way I'd let him off what he said!"
Pulling his cord out from the port rather forcefully and letting it retract into his Pet, Ranma walked over to the hallway and looked around trying to calm himself at the same time, and he noticed the fire seemed to be dying. The Fire fighters were actually forcing it down unlike before.
Shutting his Pet off to let it cool off, Ranma started looking for someone to help him fix Axl as soon as possible, he hadn't finished skimming enough of the instructions to be able to do it himself, not that he really wanted to learn.

"He's perfect... Perfect!" laughed Hinoken crazily as he saw Fefnir decimate any Navi who was holding off the Viruses, "Fireman, tell Dr. Wily that he's a complete success! He's a new flame!"
Fireman nodded as he sent another email to Dr. Wily.
Fefnir then took Fireman's spot on the screen, "Hinoken, Wily has given me orders to be under your command."
If possible, Hinoken's grin became even wider, "This is wonderful! Hahaha!"
Author's Note
KrayZi: Miss me? It's been a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if my old reviewers didn't review at all. Yet I hope they do and some more people do too.
Kao: I'm sure you all are wondering where the hell we've been, it's pretty easy to say.
KrayZi: Yea, I've basically been reading lots of manga and watching lots of anime. If I were to use an excuse, I would say I was 'researching' manga/anime for ideas and stuff.
Kao: Yea, it's all for his own enjoyment.
KrayZi: Now you guys all see how anime will effect Ranma. You also see now the introduction of the Zero GBA series characters. I wonder how Ciel will get in… Now, I hope you guys review, here's the answers to the last reviews. I'm not going to put conversations in it unless you all prefer it the old way, tell me if you prefer it this way. I've changed it so that it takes up less space in my computer, and so you people aren't fooled into thinking my chapter is longer than it actually is from looking at the scroll bar.
To: Silverscale
Yea, okay then, it's good to know it, but what about many months later?
To: Max Knight
Umm, yea, same problem again. I love fight scenes, and I love writing them too, it's good to know you like them. I'm glad you think that about my story too, thank you.
To: Firehedgehog
Well, I've been talking to you over the months once in a while, I'm gonna try and get my next update soon out. Now that I've gotten outta the Author Block ditch, I think my speed will go back to normal.
To: Fatboy
Yea, this was all about Ranma and Axl basically. Next chapter though is when the other main series come back to make another appearance in this fic.
To: Hiryo
I'm no longer afraid of this turning into a mega-crossover, I think I'd be able to handle it, if not, I'll continue the story without it turning into one. Axl and Ranma fusing for good? As much as Ranma would probably like that, I don't think it would do so great in the future. I mean, I've been thinking over the months too you know, and if I did do that, I would have to completely change my plans. About Ranma's new interest in Anime? Well this chapter showed exactly what I planned for it. I won't make it so Ranma knows all techniques and stuff, since that'll be too stupid and he'll be too strong technique-wise. I'll choose a few from each series.
To: needmore
Yea, I meant to do that. I thought it would be interesting to insert something like that. Also, if there's a connection between Techno and Midi, if they deleted Techno, you know what would happen to Midi? Also as to Ranma's thing about Axl, I don't think he's really mature in ignoring insults, since he always seems to be retaliating. But I'll be able to look into his character better soon, since a friend lent me her Ranma manga. Yea, that means I might forget about writing again. Anyways, I believe that the Pet is pretty much like a Computer, the more programs you run on it, the slower the whole thing is, and also the cable is like an internet connection, different types of connections lead to different speeds. A Cable is exactly like that. The internet can be really fast, loading pages right away, but some connections are really slow. That's the best way I can explain it really. And about the idea of Techno and the virtual training room. Well, if anyone other than Ranma uses it, maybe. But then again, wouldn't it be interesting to see how things turn out with Sigma in Ranma's body?
KrayZi: Ah, I'm finally done this chapter. See ya next time hopefully, I'll try not to take too long.
