Chapter I Part 3: Request Accepted

"Have you seen John anywhere??"

"No, and personally, I don't care."

"Why's that?"

"Don't you remember what he did to poor Raye?! Didn't you see how hurt she was!?"

"...Yeah, I know. Poor Raye."

This conversation was held between two old friends. They had been friends since pre-school, and had gone to the same schools afterward, until they were forced to split up. It had been almost a year since they met each other again.

The first boy to speak, had been Nick. Nick was mighty tall; he had to bend his head down to be able to go through a door. He had short, light brown hair and wore contacts over his light green eyes, seeing as his glasses always annoyed the hell out of him. He wore a black shirt and some light blue jeans, along with some easy sneakers for his rather big feet. For his height, his feet were average-sized, but compared to his friends, his feet were huge.

The other boy, was named Paul. Paul had dark blonde hair and gray colored eyes, and was a little short compared to others. Even so, he was accepted amongst people for who he was. He always wore some loose clothes, like what he wore at the moment. Currently, he wore a light yellow shirt with some baggy orange pants, and some red shoes. He also wore a chain with the eye of Horus on it around his neck, for good luck.

"But you have to admit, that had been years ago," Nick said as the duo walked down the streets.

Paul snorted and said: "I still can't forgive him. Just because she began to go into puberty early on, did not give him the right to suddenly dump her."

"How is Raye anyway?" Nick asked.

"No idea. I haven't heard anything from her for years. I tried to get in touch, but Shine always answered and she always said Raye refused to talk to anyone over the phone."

Nick gave a sigh. Raye had been a friend of theirs, way back, and had dated one of their other friends, John, for some time. But when Raye went into puberty at the age of 9, John mercilessly dumped her. Nick remembered seeing Raye storm off from school, yelling three words that had made everyone gasp in shock.

"I HATE YOU!!!"

After that, they had never seen her again. No phone-calls, no letters, no emails, no nothing.

Paul, who had been closest to Raye, had tried to phone her so many times, the bills shot through the roof, but Raye never phoned back. Paul was two years older than Raye, just like Nick, but they were still able to get along with the young girl.

"Hey, you in for going to my place and play MMT?" Nick asked.

Paul smiled and said: "Sure."

"Ah shoot!!" Nick cursed.

"Stupid shield!!" Paul said, fully agreeing with Nick.

Nick was busy fighting Bass at the moment, but Bass constantly summoned up his shield whenever he got the chance. It made the fight so much harder, that Nick had considered a few times to just turn off the game and start over. But Paul kept telling him to keep going, and Nick used every chip he could use, not throwing a single one to waste.

"Come on come on come on! Hey!! Wait a second!!" Nick suddenly exclaimed.

Hurriedly, he chose three chips, in the correct order, and pressed 'OK'. The screen turned darker, and white letters between arrows said: "ADVANCE". Below, stood three chip-names.

Sword A, WideSword B, and LongSword C.

The names blinked, vanished, and made room for a single chip name.

LifeSword1.

"Aaaaaaaaaand! GOTCHA!!!" Nick exclaimed as he lashed out at Bass with the sword, causing him to go up in a mass of explosions.

Paul cheered loudly, and Nick instantly saved once the battle was over and done with. Nick continued with MegaMan, running across the Net, searching for any viruses, and the way out of this place!!

"Raye used to be so excited when we showed her these games, remember?" Paul suddenly asked.

Nick sighed and said: "I know. We showed her Mega Man, Mega Man X, Mega Man Zero... I wonder if she still likes those games."

"She always managed to get a perfect score somehow. Managed to get all elves with MMZ, all Upgrades, Sub- and Heart-Tanks with MMX, all CD's with MM&B (Mega Man & Bass)... She was the perfect MM warrior."

"Got that right. She was the best of the best. She even managed to beat Sigma in a few seconds flat. I still don't know how she did that."

"Knowing her enemies' weakness, I guess."

"But how did she know those?"

"Not a clue... WHOA!! Watch it!!"

"Shoot!!"

Nick hurriedly avoided a Mettfire's attacks, and fired wildly, deleting the virus in seconds flat. He gave a sigh and continued to battle viruses.

He still remembered what Raye had said all those years back, when they had shown her Mega Man on their NES.

"Who's that blueberry??" she had asked, upon seeing the small picture of Mega.

"His name's Rock, but everyone calls him Mega Man," Nick explained the 7 inches shorter girl. "He has to save the world from a mad scientist named Dr. Wily."

"What is he mad at??" she had asked, looking confused with one eyebrow raised.

"Uh... a 'mad scientist', means an insane professor, you know, like," Paul had said, and finished with twirling one finger against the side of his head.

Raye had let out an 'oh', and watched him play, with much difficulty. After a while, he finally gave up when he couldn't beat one of the Robot Masters, and Raye started playing. She beat the game effortlessly in less than a few hours.

After that, she finished game after game, in the correct order. And then John came into the picture. For a while, all was fine, until something happened, and Raye never came by again. Nick was afraid that Raye might not even know them. It's been so long.

Nick gave a startled yelp when a surge of electricity suddenly lightly singed his hand, making him drop his controller on the ground. Sparks shot up around the duo, and Paul was saying something, but all Nick heard was a furious whine sounding loudly through his head, like that of a Buster being charged, so loud, that he thought he'd grow deaf.

He could hear his heart pounding in his head, couldn't calm his rapid breathing as fear swept over him, before a flash of light, and then......

Darkness.

Paul groaned and rubbed his eyes to get rid of the unwilling sleep, before willing them to open. The sudden light made him blink a few times, before he managed to see what was around him. He was shocked to find himself no longer in Nick's room, but on a metro.

Or... he thought it was.

It was far too tidy to be one of the metros in LA, and no one seemed to be intent on fighting someone, like the case had been for a few weeks. People were just chatting away, laughing and enjoying themselves, while others were simply reading newspapers of some sort.

Paul looked at himself, and noticed he still wore his clothes from before, but now, he also wore a light brown jacket over his shirt. Also, there was something on his belt, something he had only vaguely seen before. He pulled it from the 'holster' on his belt and looked at it for a while. It was dark red with green flames decorating it, and above a square screen, was the word 'PET'.

Paul looked up, and noticed to his shock, that Nick wasn't around. Somehow, they must've gotten separated. He wasn't too sure how though.

"Paul! Paul, I'm here!!" a voice suddenly said from the PET he was holding.

Paul jumped slightly in surprise, before the screen flashed to life.

"Glad to see you're awake, Paul," Nick said, voice composed and calm, even though he seemed lightly spooked himself.

Nick wore ruby red armor with the emerald green Phoenix's symbol on the chest area, as well as on the caps on the side of his head that served as his ears, and had a smooth, pointed helmet that curved at the end, yet remaining sharply pointed, with a triangular gem on his forehead and two emerald lines ending at the point of his helmet. His boots and gloves were emerald green, but his fingers were ruby red. Also, he was holding a lance that resembled that of Zero during MMZ.

"Nick, where are we?" Paul asked quietly, not wanting to draw attention to them.

"I'm not sure," Nick said. "But I've got a good idea. Though I really don't mind, it kind of freaks me out."

"I know, me too."

Paul looked around, noting that no one was paying them any attention.

"Paul," Nick said, and Paul turned his attention to him. "I think we need some better names. I mean, I know I do."

"Yeah. But what would you be called?"

Nick grabbed his lance with both hands, leaning on it and tapping his fingers on it, contemplating what to name himself.

Finally he smiled and said: "How about; 'Ragnarok'?"

Paul blinked, then smiled.

"Sure, and my name'll be..." Paul paused to think. "Jinn."

"Okay."

Sometime later, the metro stopped, and Jinn walked out, looking about curiously. Wherever you got out on the metro, there was always a sign that said where you were.

By the looks of it, they had arrived at Den City.

"Hey, isn't this where Chaud lives??" Jinn asked softly.

"I think so," Ragna said, not really sure.

"I've never been around here before," Jinn said warily. "Let's look around!"

"Fine by me!"

So, the duo took their sweet time exploring the city, which was, well, quite large. The buildings weren't all that high, but they were high enough to make it look like a city. People were walking across the streets, looking about stores here and there, and sometimes entering them to see the stuff inside. Jinn also went inside a few stores once or twice, marveling at the huge amount of stuff they could have in a single store.

"They sure have a lot of stuff around here," he said, looking into some kind of glass boll with colored smoke billowing inside of it.

"I saw an antique shop across the street. I think I saw some neat stuff there as well," Ragna informed calmly.

"Okay, let's check!" Jinn said, and headed for the store Ragna had pointed out.

It was quite a place. It was stocked with all kinds of interesting stuff, stuff Jinn and Ragna wouldn't be able to describe even if they tried.

"Hallelujah!! Look at all this stuff!!" Jinn exclaimed in awe, looking at something that looked like some sort of net, but looking a lot more fancy with those feathers and marbles in it, and those threads hanging from the bottom.

"Can I help you with anything?" a sudden voice asked, and Jinn let out a yelp as he whirled around.

He was staring straight into the calm face of Miyu, SkullMan's Operator. Jinn then recalled that Miyu owned an antique shop, but he'd forgotten where. Looks like he just figured it out.

"N-no, not really," Jinn said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Just looking around."

Miyu didn't respond, just stared at him with half-lidded eyes. Silence reigned, and it made Jinn feel uncomfortable.

"Um... do I have something on my face??" Jinn asked, trying to stay polite.

".........May I see your hand?" Miyu asked.

Jinn looked confused but help up his hand to her, palm up. Miyu took his hand in both of hers and studied it carefully. Jinn allowed her too, not quite sure what she was trying to do. She lightly traced a few lines on Jinn's palm, and hummed a little.

"You have lost a friend once," Miyu suddenly said, making Jinn gasp. "Though you're not sure if she's still alive."

Ragna blinked, confused.

Jinn lowered his head a little and said: "Yeah. She left once and I never saw her again. I have no idea where she might've gone."

Miyu didn't answer as she released his hand.

"I have a feeling that you will see her again someday," she finally said, making Jinn look up.

"Really?" he asked, a tinge of happiness flowing back in his voice.

Miyu smiled, and nodded.

"Sooner than you might think."

"Plug in..."

"......Executed."

"I'm not too sure abou--huh?!"

Jinn suddenly noticed sparks shooting off of something that looked like an advanced battle arena standing right behind Miyu. The thing started to emit a strange light, which only meant that it was about to explode.

"LOOK OUT!!!" Jinn shouted, and pushed Miyu and himself away, just before it exploded, sending both of them to the ground with small yelps of pain.

Miyu sat up, looking shocked at the now burning shop. She had seen this before, in a dream, but she wouldn't believe it at first. Now she had to.

"What's going on?!" Jinn exclaimed as the fire blocked their exit.

There was no way out. They were trapped, like animals.

Desperate, Jinn looked around, searching for anything that could be of use. His eyes suddenly landed on a large sheet hanging over a chair and he smiled, scrambling up and running over to it, pulling Miyu with him. Jinn quickly pulled the sheet from the chair and looked at it carefully. It was big enough for him and Miyu to hide under, and you could see right through it if it was soaked.

"We need to get this wet!!" he shouted to Miyu, seeing as the fire was making normal speech impossible.

Miyu nodded in understanding, and pulled a large bucket of water from behind the counter, which she dumped over the sheet, soaking it completely. She'd left the bucket there, just in case. Jinn nodded and threw the soaking sheet over them both.

He coughed from the smoke and said: "Let's go!!"

As fast as they could, they ran through the flames, trying not to stay still for too long in fear of burning up the blanket. The heat of the room was maddening, and it tried to eat at their skin multiple times, but they wouldn't allow it, running as fast as they could toward the exit.

After some running, they arrived at the exit, where the flames had died down for some reason. They removed the blanket, and Jinn coughed a little from the smoke. He never managed to stand it, seeing as his parents always smoked, which was the reason why he was always, either on his room, or outside. This wasn't any different in his own opinion.

Miyu held onto his arm, and guided him away from the fire and toward the exit.

"Stop!!" Jinn shouted, and pulled Miyu back, just before a burning beam fell from the ceiling, blocking the exit.

Now, they really were trapped.

"Jinn!!" Ragna said, and Jinn looked at his Navi. "The fire extinguishers aren't functioning!! Plug me in on the Net and I'll see if I can activate them!!"

Jinn nodded, and noticed a jack-in port near the entrance next to him. He pulled out the extension cord easily.

"Ragnarok.EXE!! Transmission!!!"

Ragna found himself in the fire extinguishers soon enough, and gasped in shock.

"Jinn!! This place is littered with computer viruses!!" he told his Operator.

"Oh no!! You don't think that..." Jinn started, almost afraid to know.

"Let's hope not!" Ragna said back, grasping his lance in both hands. "Here I go!!"

"Go for it, Ragna!!"

Ragna sliced another batch of Mettools into deletion, and stopped to be able to avoid a burst of plasma shot his way. A large blue cannon locked in on him, and took aim.

"High Cannon!! Slot in!!" Jinn said, inserting the chip.

Ragna's arm morphed into a large cannon, which he aimed at the blue cannon. The two cannons were fired at the same time, but Ragna's blast went right through the other, and deleted the virus easily. Ragna smirked. This was easy.

Ragna screamed in pain as a sudden blast of electricity hit him, electrocuting him with something close to a hundred-and-fifty volt.

"RAGNA!!!" Jinn screamed in shock.

The red and green Navi dropped to his knees once the flow stopped, and he looked up. His eyes widened in shock at what he saw.

Before him, stood a black and yellow Navi, with blood red eyes, yellow lightningbolts under his eyes, strange gloves, and an even stranger pack on his back. Standing before him was...

ElecMan.EXE.

"ElecMan!? I thought he got deleted along with World 3!!" Jinn exclaimed in shock.

Miyu, who was watching at his PET from over his shoulder, was shocked as well. She could've sworn Lan and MegaMan had deleted him. What was going on?!

"Darn!! Recover120!! Slot in!!"

"Ragna!? Can you get up?!" Jinn called out, and Ragna got to his feet without much trouble.

He stared at the other Navi, who simply watched, not even trying anything.

"You were supposed to be deleted!!" Ragna hissed.

ElecMan didn't respond for a moment, then smirked and said: "Maybe. But you're going first!!"

Before Ragna could blink, he had vanished. He quickly looked around, trying to find the bastard, but not finding him. He screamed again when a hand was placed on his shoulder and electricity surged through him like there was no tomorrow.

ElecMan chuckled evilly, increasing the amount of electricity, making Ragna scream louder.

Suddenly...

"Shotgun!! Slot in!!" a voice called out, and ElecMan turned around, but wasn't fast enough to dodge the barrage of plasma bursts hurled his way, sending him aside.

SkullMan quickly ran over and help Ragna to his feet.

Jinn blinked and turned to Miyu, who was now also holding a PET, frowning angrily. Jinn smiled and turned back to his PET.

"Ragna!! Are you okay?!" Jinn asked.

Ragna nodded a little and said: "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little toasted, that's all."

"This is no time for jokes!!!" Jinn shouted angrily.

"Okay, okay! Jeez!!"

ElecMan growled angrily and shouted: "LIGHTNING STRIKE!!!" causing a large burst of electricity to burst forth.

"No more of that lightning stuff. LeafShield!! Slot in!!" Jinn said.

Leaves shot up around Ragna and SkullMan, before they evaporated, leaving a dark green shield around them. The lightning attack bounced right off --- straight back at ElecMan!!

ElecMan gasped, and screamed as he became the victim of his own attack.

"Miss Miyu!! Do you have a WoodBlade?" Jinn asked, to which Miyu nodded, knowing his intention.

Together they shouted: "WoodBlade!! Slot in!!"

Ragna extended his left hand, while SkullMan extended his right. Their hands shifted into pure green blades, and they gave a yell as they ran toward the black and yellow Navi, who was still recovering from his own attack. ElecMan finally looked up, shocked, but was unable to stop the attack.

"...Plug out..."

Before the two Navis could hit him, he dissipated into the words "LOG OUT" and was gone.

Jinn coughed again, and suddenly, the fire extinguishers zoomed to life, spraying everything wet within mere seconds. Miyu and Jinn smiled broadly as the fire died down within moments.

"We did it!!" Jinn exclaimed.

Ragna gave a sigh as he sat down.

"Yeah, but don't ask how."

Everyone started laughing.

"Look, I'm sorry about your store," Jinn started to apologize, but Miyu stopped him.

"Don't. It wasn't your fault that it happened. I'm more worried about that ElecMan though," she said, looking a little sad.

Jinn nodded and said: "I know. I just wonder where he came from. I mean, I thought he'd been taken out along with World 3."

Silence reigned for a while, until Jinn held up his hand. Miyu blinked, then smiled and shook his hand. Jinn smiled, and Miyu smiled back.

"I ought to be going now. I might see you again sometime," he said, and left for the subway, waving his new friend goodbye.

"Well," Jinn said, tossing his bag on the hotel bed and sitting down in a chair, "this turned out to be a bad day."

"Yep," Ragna replied.

"ElecMan... I haven't seen him since MMBN1. Where'd he come from all of a sudden?"

"I don't know. But I smell a Netmafia!"

"Yeah, I figured that to be the case. But what are we going to do about it?"

"Inform Lan! That's what!"

Jinn pulled out his PET and looked at Ragna.

"And how are we supposed to find him? He could be anywhere!"

"Lan's a City NetBattler, so he should do some requests for people every once in awhile."

Jinn blinked in confusion, then smiled.

"Of course! The request board at the Official Center!! Good thinking Ragna!"

"Well, I'm about the only one who does."

"HEY!!!"

"Just kidding just kidding!!" Ragna laughed. "Jeez! You're starting to act like Chaud!!"

Jinn was about to retort, when he stopped and blinked.

"Hey, I was."

"Well, at least you agree with me."

"I do not!!"

"Do too!!"

"Do not!!"

"Do too!!"

"Do not!!"

"Do too!!"

"Do not!!"

"......Do not."

"Do to--HEY!!!! NO FAIR!! THAT'S CHEATING!!!"

Ragna started laughing loudly, and it being contagious, Jinn soon followed.

"Jinn."

"Hmm?"

"Do you think Miyu was right?"

"Wha...... oh. I don't know. We'll just have to see."

"But imagine that! If we saw Raye again, what would she look like?"

"I'm not sure. Years make people change you know."

"Yeah. But do you think her hair would still be the same?"

"I'm not sure. It could've darkened for all we know."

"Or became as light as Shine's."

"I don't think Raye'd like that."

"Okay, deliver that at the Official Center, understood?" Jinn said.

"Roger that!" Ragna said, and was off.

He started running across the Net, heading from area to area to get where he had be. It took him quite some time, but he finally came there. Ragna calmly stepped into the portal, and was transported to the Square.

When he came there, he looked around curiously. The place was more of a city than a square, and it would probably take awhile for him to find his way. Navis were shopping for chips, sub-chips, and other stuff they might need, or some were just walking about with no purpose at all. Ragna had a feeling like he wasn't even on the Net anymore. This seemed to be just your average city.

After quite some searching, Ragna finally arrived at the Official Center. It looked much like the center in the real world, though slightly different all the same. Ragna watched it for a moment, before walking inside.

The place was crowded with Navis, walking about this way or that. The racket sounding through the Center was enough to bring a loud stereo to shame, and people were cranky for no reason at all. Ragna sometimes picked up an insult hurled at another Navi, and knew that it would be impossible to calm those Navis down, because the Operators were also arguing, which wasn't improving the situation.

In other words, it was quite busy.

Ragna however, avoided any unnecessary contact, and easily found the request board. He walked over to the Navi standing beside it, because Ragna could easily tell he belonged with the Center's staff due to the emblem on his chest.

"Excuse me," Ragna said, and the Navi looked up, surprised at Ragna's height.

"Uh... yes, can I help you?" the Navi asked.

"I have a request to post for my Operator. Is that possible to do here?" Ragna asked politely.

"Yeah, sure. Just type in the request and it'll be displayed in the real world."

"Thank you."

Ragna turned to the board, and typed the request quite quickly.

My Navi and I are in quite a fix. During a trip in Den City, we came across some unpredicted trouble and need help. We have heard rumors of some kind of "Blue Bomber" who took out both World 3 and Gospel, and we think he might be able to help. If anyone knows this Navi, or his Operator, please tell them we really need to talk to them. We will be waiting at the Moonshine Hotel Entrance. Please accept our request.

"I'm done, Jinn."

"Okay, jack out!"

"Did you post the request?" Jinn asked.

"Yeah. It was hard to find the Center, but I made it," Ragna said calmly.

Jinn gave a sigh.

"Well, guess we'll have to wait."

"Okay."

Jinn yawned and said: "Let's get some shut-eye."

"Good idea."

Jinn woke up to a persistent ringing noise, and toppled out of his bed in shock.

"Ragna!!" Jinn whined, knowing the cause for the sound.

"Rise and shine, Jinn! It's already close to noon!! Even Lan's awake by now!!" Ragna said with a satisfied smile.

"How do you know?" Jinn asked, rubbing the lump on the back of his head.

"You've got mail, by the way," Ragna said without answering.

Jinn grumbled and checked it.
