Chapter III Part 2: Ragnarok & The Squirt

"Hey Mike."

"Hmmm?"

"If Shine and Ray were here, do you think we would be able to beat those guys?"

"Probably. I mean, Ray's an expert when it comes to Mega Man, and Shine could probably help a lot too."

"God, I wish they were here."

"So do I, Razor."

Mike gave a sigh as he sat down on a bench near the Official Center. It had been about a week since they fought MagnetMan, and 4 days since they became Officials. It had taken some heavy battling on both their accounts, and it had left them both exhausted for hours. They did a few more requests, and checked out just about everything where World 3 or Gospel would strike, were they still around of course.

Everything came out empty.

"This is just plain ridiculous! Now what do we do?!" Mike hissed in anger.

"I don't know, Mike. I honestly don't know," Razor said with a sigh.

Mike leaned back against the bench, and crossed his arms over his chest. He looked up at the sky, watching a few clouds drift by as he wondered what he had to do to fix this mess. If he wasn't mistaking, Lan was already informed, so that wouldn't be necessary.

"If only Shine and Ray were here," Razor mumbled.

"Keep saying that and they might just appear," Mike said sarcastically.

"Ha, ha, ha," Razor said.

"I'm bored," Razor said after a while.

"Yeah, me too," Mike said, and stood up. "Let's find someone to battle."

"I'm in!"

Razor shot at the other Navi and made the Navi log out before he'd be deleted.

Mike smiled and looked up at the sad-looking kid. The kid had challenged him, but Razor had proved to be the more powerful Navi.

"Next time, think twice before trying to take us on," Mike said, plugging Razor out from the arena.

The kid nodded and left quickly. Mike shrugged his shoulders, and headed out of the arcade. Or at least, he wanted to at first.

Mike turned when he noticed two NetBattlers fight a rather hectic battle. And surprisingly, one of the fighters was Ribitta. Mike smirked and walked over to watch the fight. This would prove to be quite interesting.

He looked at the fight and noticed ToadMan fighting a red and green armored Navi wielding a lance that looked like the one Zero used in MMZ.

The Navi jumped away from ToadMan and held his lance in both hands. ToadMan frowned in irritation, and ran at the much taller Navi. The Navi frowned and suddenly aimed his lance at the other Navi. With amazing speed, the lance extended and hit the toad-Navi square in the chest, sending him back with a vicious lash across his Navi-Symbol.

"ToadMan!! Plug Out!!" Ribitta commanded, and ToadMan obeyed.

Surprisingly, the taller Navi hardly suffered from any injuries. The Navi's Operator breathed a sigh of relief, and plugged his Navi out.

"Good going, Ragna," the boy said.

"Piece of cake!" the Navi said in response.

After congratulating the boy, Ribitta left as fast as she came, no doubt to continue DNN news. After she left, Mike approached the victorious boy.

"Nice battle there," he said calmly, making the boy look at him in confusion.

"Huh?? Oh, uh… thanks…" the boy said.

"I find it surprising that your Navi didn't get a single scratch with that fight," Mike said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Guess I'm just good," the boy said with a shrug.

"Oh really?" Mike challenged. "You wouldn't be able to last a minute against my Navi."

The boy growled and said: "I bet I could!!"

"Let's see it then!"

"Plug in! Ragnarok.EXE!! Transmission!!"

"Plug in!! Razor.EXE!!! Transmission!!!"

The two Navis shot down into the arena, standing face-to-face with each other, neither intimidated by the other.

Ragna frowned and said: "Don't expect me to go easy on you."

Razor snickered and said: "I wasn't expecting you to. Just don't think I'll be easy just 'cause I'm smaller than you."

Ragna growled a little and got into a battle position. Razor smirked and did the same. Finally the words "BATTLE START" shot across the ground, and the two Navis began their fight.

Razor ran at Ragna, but quickly rolled aside to avoid a swipe from Ragna's lance.

"Long Sword!! Slot in!!!"

Razor's hand shifted into a flaming purple blade, and the Navi shot at Ragna with almost blinding speed. Ragna easily blocked all swings the other Navi threw at him. Razor frowned at this and suddenly smirked. He quickly grabbed one of his Busters with his remaining hand, and fired a pelt of plasma at the taller Navi.

Ragna was sent away, just as the LongSword-chip gave up. Razor growled as Ragna didn't seem harmed by the blast.

"Razor!!" Mike shouted. "You don't need chips to use swords!!"

Razor almost slapped his forehead, but decided against it.

"I hear ya!!" he said, and slid out both of his fire-red blades, much to the other Navi's surprise.

With a yell, Razor shot at the taller Navi, and lashed out with both blades. Somehow, Ragna managed to block both blades with his lance though, and managed to flip Razor aside.

"Mega Cannon!! Slot in!!"

Ragna's right arm shifted into a large cannon, which he quickly aimed at Razor.

"Barrier!! Slot in!!"

The large pelt of plasma bounced right off on the shield. Ragna growled as his hand shifted into an ordinary Buster. With a whine, and then a large bang, the blue bolt was sent at the smaller Navi.

Razor furrowed his brows, raised both blades to form an 'X' in front of him, and slashed downward with a yell. A large shockwave shaped like a blood-red 'X' shot forward, slicing through the bolt of plasma and continuing on toward Ragna.

With an agile leap, Ragna jumped out of harm's way, and landed gracefully on his feet.

"You're quite fast," Razor complimented. "But dodge this!!!"

And with that, Razor started hacking at the air in front of him, sending gigantic shockwaves toward the taller Navi, who was having serious problems dodging them all, and got a hit in every now and then.

"Oh darn!! Revover80!! Slot in!!"

Ragna shook his head and glared at Razor.

"Swallow this!!!" the Navi screamed, and used the same move he'd used against ToadMan, making his lance extend to nearly four times its original length.

Razor's brains started working overtime, and finally, he smirked. He retracted both blades, and jumped up. Time seemed to stop as a certain memory surfaced.

*Flashback*

"You gotta be kidding me!!" Dare said as he stared at the equipment in the gym. "You train here?!"

"Hai," Ray said as she finished braiding her long mane, tying it up with a blood-red ribbon. "I need to stay in shape somehow."

"You sound more like a guy than a girl, you know that?" Dare asked, looking at the girl with a skeptical look.

"A lot of people say that," Ray said, and tied silver ribbons around her wrists.

Dare looked at them in confusion and before he could ask anything, Ray held up her hand and told him: "Hold this."

The boy blinked and took her hand in his own. Ray suddenly relaxed all the muscles in her arm, and with lightning fast speed, her arm dropped to her side, Dare being unable to hold it up. For some reason, her hand weighed a lot more than before.

"I've been taught to use weighted clothing during my training," Ray explained.

Dare smiled and said: "Can you show something I could possibly do too?"

Ray bit her bottom lip, staring at the ceiling from the corner of her eyes, then said: "Maybe, demo…"

"But what??" Dare asked.

"It might not work on the first try," Ray said, and walked over to a rather long beam. "It took me a few weeks to get the hang of it."

Dare smirked, hearing the challenge in Ray's voice. Ray kept on challenging him, not like he was complaining, because he felt like she was slowly starting to trust him more and more.

"And what would that be?" Dare asked.

Ray didn't answer and stared at the end of the beam. The beam was very thin, seeing as Ray could only place both feet on it if they were placed in a line. Ray took a deep breath, closing her eyes, and breathed out silently. Her eyes opened with a snap and she ran five paces on the beam, jumped in the air, landed with her hands on the beam, pushed off, landed on both her feet, jumped, landed on her hands again, pushed off again, flipped forward, landed on her feet, jumped off, and cartwheeled through the air, before landing gracefully on her feet in a crouch.

Dare was left staring.

"Holy shit! How'd you do that!?" he demanded.

"Three words bushhead!" Ray said, holding up three fingers briefly. "Practice, practice, practice."

"How'm I supposed to do that?!" he asked.

"Well, to actually perform it, you have to clear your mind of any thoughts. It must be a blank page."

"What the?! And, how do I do that?!"

"You just do. There is no secret to it."

*End Flashback*

'Okay… blank page… Gods… please make this work…' Razor prayed, before all his thoughts stopped dead.

The lance shot past underneath him, and when he came down, he landed with both feet on a line on the handle of the lance.

Five paces, jump, land, push off, land, jump, land, push off, flip forward, land, jump, cartwheel.

The only thing difference, was the ending, seeing as Razor somehow managed to kick Ragna straight in his face, sending him back.

When Razor finally landed, he looked up at the Navi lying a little further up ahead, who was rubbing his sore jaw, groaning slightly as he rubbed the sore place on his face.

'I didn't know Razor could do that,' Mike thought as he stared at the battlefield.

"Okay! Enough!! Ragna!! Plug out!!" the other boy stated firmly, and the Navi obeyed calmly.

"Razor, good job," Mike said.

Razor smirked and plugged out as well.

The other boy turned to Mike and said: "That was a good battle! You're pretty experienced!"

Mike smirked and said: "Well, why do you think I became an Official?"

"No way! You're an Official!?"

"Sure am. Name's Mike, and you are?"

"Jinn."

"Well, Jinn, you could make a perfect Official too," Mike said, but before he could say anymore, Razor interrupted with a familiar bleeping.

"Mike! You've got mail from the Center!"

"Oh great! Now what!?" Mike asked and checked the email.

This is a message to all Official NetBattlers. We have found serious disturbances at KotoSquare. We're not sure what it means, but just in case, it needs to be checked out. The last time something like this happened, was during Gospel, and we'd rather not have a repeat of that.

Mike gave a sigh and placed his PET in his holster again.

"Duty calls," Mike said with a shrug.

Jinn nodded and said: "Maybe I'll see you again?"

"Yeah sure," Mike said, and shook the kid's hand, before rushing off.

Razor shot down onto the Net in a streak of lightning, and calmly opened his eyes, looking around for a moment. Finally, Razor started running toward KotoSquare. That was also one of the things he hated. The long distances you had to run. He sometimes had the feeling he spent more time running around than he was busting viruses and fighting other Navis.

'Why the hell do they have such long roads to other Squares?!' Razor asked in his mind as he continued to run.

Quite some time later, Razor finally arrived at KotoSquare. The place was crowded with all kinds of Navis, and Razor looked around for anything out of place. It seemed like everything was just fine though. However, he'd said the same about the same Square when he played the games, so he wasn't taking any chances.

So, he started exploring the Square, not bothered by the female-Navis staring at him. He had more important things to do than chasing after girls, which he never did anyway.

After scanning the entire city, Razor had only managed to find a strange energy-source radiating from one of the buildings. This he reported to the Center, and told them to send some rookies to take care of it. Once that was done, Razor decided to head back.

Not knowing why, but feeling like he'd be sorry if he didn't, he decided to run back. He might find some viruses to bust, and it would be good for his condition, though that wasn't really necessary for Navis.

For what must've been the hundredth time that day, he wished Ray was there. However, Razor was so lost in thought, that ---

BANG!!!

"AAAH!!"

"WHOA!!"

He crashed straight into another Navi, and both were sent to the ground, ending with Razor on top. Razor groaned and tried to get up, but his hand was placed on something oddly smooth, so he suddenly slipped. He heard a restraint hiss coming from the other Navi, and before he knew it, he received an elbow to his jaw, sending him away with relative ease.

He shook his head and looked up. Razor gave a startled cry as he jumped aside to avoid a large burst of plasma shot his way. He looked up at the Navi, and noticed the enraged look in the girl's magenta colored eyes. That, combined with the long mane of gray hair, reminded Razor of Ray.

"Hey!! It was an accident!! I'm sorry!!" he said to her.

The girl still looked enraged, holding her Buster tightly with her other hand.

"Like hell!!" she screamed. "Rule no. 1, buster!! NEVER TOUCH A WOMAN'S HAIR!!"

That said, she fired another burst of plasma at him. Razor's eyes widened at the size of it.

"CHRIST!!!" he exclaimed and hurriedly slid out one of his blades, and used it to slash the bolt in half.

Razor looked up and gasped when he saw the girl send a barrage of plasma his way. With a strong leap, he managed to jump over the bolts and landed just behind the Navi. He whirled around and lashed downward at the Navi.

What he hadn't counted on, was that the girl would try to stop the blade with her bare hands. Well, they weren't really bare, but you get the idea. She held the blade between her palms, and it seemed like she was praying, if it weren't for the angered look on her face. Razor knew he looked pissed off as well, as he tried to get the blade to continue its path, which the girl wouldn't allow. At some point, they started growling at each other, as neither was planning to give in and discharges were sent every which way.

The girl suddenly fell back, taking Razor with her. She landed on her back, planted her foot in his gut, and catapulted Razor over her. Razor kept on rolling for awhile, until he finally managed to lay still.

'Whoa. She's good,' Razor thought, slightly dazed, until he shook his head and got back up.

He put on an angry frown and growled.

"Alright! I've had it with you!!!" he screamed.

Razor easily retracted his sword and pulled out both his Busters. He started firing pellets of plasma at the girl, but she dodged them easily. Razor failed to notice that she was running toward him, until it was too late and he found her fist buried in his guts. He gasped in pain and his hands reflexively dropped his Busters. Razor hardly had a chance to recover as she sent a barrage of punches at him, aiming mainly for his face.

Silently thanking Ray's training, he managed to block most of her hits. A few hit him, but it was nothing too serious. He heard the female-Navi growl, though he wasn't too sure why she did that. Razor suddenly gave a startled yelp as she suddenly lunged out with a clawed hand and jumped away, avoiding her claws by a hair.

The girl frowned and got her Buster out again, and began to fire at him again. Razor managed to get out of harm's way with agile leaps and flips, but it took some effort. Razor suddenly noticed one of his Busters laying a little further ahead, and tried to get to it without looking too suspicious.

'Gotcha!!' he thought and grabbed a hold of his Buster as he cartwheeled over it.

As he flipped back, he fired blindly at the other Navi. Surprisingly, the blast hit. The pelt of plasma struck the sigma-emblem just above her abdomen, which was most likely her Navi-Symbol. With a cry of surprise, she was sent back and crashed roughly on the ground. She groaned as she leaned on her elbows, trying to get up, though the hit to her Navi-Symbol had caused her a lot of pain.

His ears suddenly picked up a word that didn't belong in the MegaMan world, and in shock, he dropped his Buster, which clattered loudly as it fell. The girl looked up in slight surprise, magenta eyes questioning him. Razor knew his eyes were wide, but he couldn't care.

"W-w-what did you say!?" he demanded, wanting to be sure.

The girl blinked, but repeated: "Shimatta."

Razor couldn't do anything to stop the smile from appearing on his face. Not like he bothered.

"Ray?! Is that you!?" he asked, and he noted that the girl almost fell back to the ground.

"N-n-nani!?!? How the hell did you?!?!" she asked, standing up rather clumsily.

Razor hurriedly pulled off his helmet, and Ray gasped in shock.

"Bushhead?!?!" she demanded.

Razor's smile seemed to be even wider.

Silence reigned for awhile, and then --

"What the hell are you--- I mean how did you---" they said at the same time, pointing at each other, causing them to fall silent again, before they burst out laughing.

Once the two of them could stop, Razor said: "Talk about weird! I was just talking about you and Shine with Mike this morning, and here you are!!"

Ray shook her head and said: "Hentai's here too??"

"Uh… yeah, he's my Operator. By the way, I'm called Razor now."

"I can see why," Ray said. "My name's Muramasa."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Razor asked.

"Later. Anyway, there's trouble."

"Let me guess, deleted Navis are 'revived' and causing havoc."

Muramasa blinked.

"I faced MagnetMan, you?"

"Ducky and Fire-Head."

"AirMan and FireMan, huh?" Razor said. "Bummer."

"Not really. I would've kicked their fucking asses to kingdom come, if they hadn't chickened out and ran."

Razor smiled and said: "You'll never change, huh?"

"Iie. By the way, have you met blueberry yet?"

"Wha?? Oh! Yeah, I met Mega already. Why?"

"No reason, just wondering. Anyway, I should be going. Ja ne!" she called as she ran off.

"Ja ne!!" Razor shouted right back, waving her goodbye.

After only a few seconds, Muramasa had vanished from his sight. Razor was still smiling as he put his helmet back on his head.

He finally turned and ran, back to Mike's server.

"MIKE!!!" Razor screamed once he returned, causing Mike to cry out in surprise.

"Christ!! Razor!!!" Mike said angrily, holding a hand to his rapidly beating heart.

"You're never going to believe who I just ran into!!" Razor said, ignoring Mike's glare.

Mike rolled his eyes.

"Oh, do tell," he mumbled sarcastically.

"I found Ray!!!"

At that sentence, Mike fell over, anime-style, and jumped back up within a second.

"You what!?!?"

"I did!!! But she's called Muramasa now!"

"Holy shit!! So!? How strong was she?!"

"Do you have to ask!!?? She nearly deleted me out there!!"

"Wow!!"

"Wow indeed!!"

"So, did you ask for her help while you were there?"

"She was already working on it with Shine."

"She's here too?"

"Yeah, but in any case. She had to face AirMan and FireMan, or as Muramasa said, 'Ducky and Fire-Head'."

Mike laughed about that.

"She'll never change."

"You're telling me!"

"Did you speak to Shine?"

"No. Muramasa seemed to be in a hurry, so I didn't really get the chance."

"Aha. Well, I'm sure we'll see her somewhere around here."

"Right."

A little later that day, Mike found himself getting off the bus in ADCD Town, and he calmly headed to the park. It'd been a frustrating day, with the knowledge that Shine and Ray were somewhere there too being the only source of light on the rather gloomy day. So, Razor had suggested that they head for the park in ADCD Town to calm down a little.

The trip to the park was almost enough already to calm Mike down, but he still headed for the park. Razor was remarkably quiet, but Mike decided not to disturb his Navi right now. He had no reason to anyway.

There weren't many people out at the park. Mostly because it was almost 5:15, but also because the night was quite nippy outside. Mike was glad he had his jacket with him, though he didn't mind the chilliness of the night. And Razor wasn't complaining either.

But Mike was shocked to find a very familiar face there. However, he soon shook it off, and walked over to the bench where the kid was sitting, all by himself.

"Hey there," Mike said, making the boy look up in confusion.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"Doesn't matter, really," Mike said, waving the matter aside and sitting down beside the boy.

He slung one of his legs across the other, placed his hands behind his head and leaned back against the bench. This made him stare up at the sky, but he wasn't complaining. He watched the clouds pass by, smiling as he saw the strangest things in some of them.

"What's so funny?"

Mike turned his head toward the boy with a lightly confused look, then smiled and looked back at the sky.

"I'm trying to identify what the clouds are," he said.

The boy frowned and said: "They're just small droplets of water that are being held up by---"

"Not like that, smartass!!" Mike said with a chuckle. "I know clouds are nothing but water, but I'm trying to identify their shape."

The boy blinked and looked up to check it out for himself.

"Hey look, look!" Mike said, pointing at a rather odd-looking cloud. "That almost looks like a turtle with wings!"

The boy squinted at the cloud, then burst out laughing.

"You're right! It is! Hey, look at that one!!" he said, pointing. "That looks like the emblem of Gospel."

"No kidding?" Mike said. "I've never seen it before."

"Oh, I've seen it enough!" the boy said, frowning.

Mike looked at him, blinking.

"How so?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Okay. I'm not going to force you."

"Then you're the first."

"Huh??"

"…Nothing."

They continued their cloudgazing, until Mike noted that the sun had already vanished halfway below the surface.

"I should be going," Mike said, and stood up.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned to the younger boy.

"I hope to see you again," he said. "Who knows. We could be friends."

Mike waved the boy goodbye with a smile, and left.

The boy was left staring at the other boy's back as he walked off, with only one thought shooting through his head.

'Friends? He… he wants to be friends… with me?'

Unbeknownst to Mike or Razor, Razor's fight and conversation with Muramasa had been viewed by a third person. Or rather, Navi.

Both had been fiercely strong beyond what he was used to, safe for when he faced MegaMan.EXE. They would all provide to be quite amusing to play with. It's been quite some time since his last battle, and he was looking for a new challenge.

Sadly enough, both of them had been rather busy. But it didn't really bother him; he would just stalk either one of them until they weren't too busy to fight him.

Just before the two other Navis left, he started to decide whom to follow, rubbing his right hand over his chin in thought. It didn't take long and he was soon following the Navi around the Net. The younger Navi didn't seem to be busy with anything, but he decided to wait for a few moments.

When she suddenly started whistling, he was caught completely off-guard, and he temporarily forgot why he was there, and just listened.

It existed out of 4 different tones, and formed 5 notes.

He watched the Navi walk as she continued to whistle, the notes lingering in the air for a few seconds before vanishing.

When she suddenly stopped, he opened his eyes, never having realized he had closed them, and looked up in confusion. The reason became clear when he noticed the other Navi now talking to the gray-haired Navi.

This guy also seemed to be mighty strong, and he started wondering if he could somehow get all three of them together at the same time, and fight them all.

He smirked evilly at that thought. That was exactly what he was going to do.

And he soundlessly left the area, vanishing without a trace.
