Operator To Navi Chapter III Part 3: Razor & Raye, a mega man fanfic

Took some time, but it's here. Okay, listen up! From now on, I'm giving a small sneak-peak at the end of each chapter, but that means I'll have to be (and stay) one chapter ahead of all of you, so it might take some time, but I hope you understand. By the way, I won't be around for awhile. A certain somebody [glares at D. Zero who gulps nervously] mangled up my dog. He'll be alright though. But it'll take some time.

------------------------------------

Youkai Ryuu: Muramasa and Ragna already met, didn't they? In C3P1. ……I know someone who would be very pissed if I even tried.

TJ and Rikumon: I'm doing the best I can

Song: I think that was you who got me to say that. And what gave you that idea?

Hellspawn: That's okay.

Sol Sabre: SUGAR!?!?! ACK!!! DISGUSTING!!! Well gladly!! [shoves pot of sugar in Sol Sabre's hands]

Chibiki-Wuz-Here: Actually, it was Razor's POV. Ragna's is in this chapter.

maverickzero: [points at Song] She got me to keep saying it.

Ratha: Thanks for liking my story.

Chapter III Part 3: Razor & Raye

"Hey Jinn, I'm bored!"

"I know, Ragna. Me too, but what are we going to do about it?"

"Uh… we could go to an arcade."

"Yeah, or challenge a few NetBattlers."

"Jinn, that's what almost everyone does in an arcade."

"Oh."

Jinn soon found himself standing in front of the arcade, and even then he already heard the commands from the other NetBattlers. With a shrug, he headed inside, planning to find something to do.

There were plenty of NetBattlers around, but almost all of them were busy battling. But it was amusing to watch a few kids battle though.

Jinn suddenly noticed Ribitta amongst the fighters, but she wasn't fighting anyone at the moment. Jinn smirked a little, then let it fall and walked over to the woman. It then dawned to him that he had no idea how to approach her. He'd never challenged anyone to a NetBattle before.

Lucky for him, he didn't have to worry. Ribitta spotted him first.

"Hey there kid!" she said, smiling broadly. "You up for a fight??"

Jinn smiled and nodded, saying: "Sure."

They easily found an empty arena, and quickly plugged in their Navis. Ragna was quite some feet taller than the small ToadMan, but the taller Navi didn't intimidate ToadMan.

"Alright! Let's show her what we've got, Ragna!!" Jinn said with a smirk.

"Heh."

With a leap, ToadMan jumped straight at Ragna, who simply jumped aside to avoid the toad-like Navi.

"You're too slow tadpole!!" Ragna taunted.

ToadMan growled in anger at the comment and suddenly sent a barrage of cyber-tadpoles at the Navi. Ragna smirked and held his lance with both hands at the absolute center of the stick. The end of the lance suddenly spurted out another lance, and Ragna spun it wildly in his hands, before hurling it away, sending it crashing into the tadpoles, and in the end, into ToadMan as well.

The green toad-Navi was sent to the ground within a second, and Ragna easily caught his lance in mid-air.

"That was easy," Ragna mumbled, right before ToadMan jumped back up, seething with rage.

Ragna smirked, getting into a battle-position as ToadMan ran (or hopped) at him. The taller Navi took a few moments, before racing at the other Navi, lance pulled back to strike. ToadMan saw it coming though, and jumped up to avoid the swing. At the same time, he flipped over and kicked Ragna to the back of his head, sending him to the ground.

ToadMan jumped up and was planning to jump on top of Ragna, but the taller Navi simply rolled out of the way.

"High Cannon!! Slot in!!"

Ragna sprang up, raised his arm, which had been morphed into a cannon, and fired the large pelt of plasma easily. Stunned, ToadMan got the blast straight to his Navi-Symbol. ToadMan growled, and shot himself at the taller Navi. Ragna jumped away from ToadMan, holding his lance in both hands. ToadMan frowned in irritation, and ran at him. Ragna frowned and hurriedly aimed his lance at the other Navi.

'I hope this works,' Ragna thought.

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.

Thankfully, Ragna suffered little to no injuries. Jinn breathed a sigh of relief, and plugged his Navi out.

"Good going, Ragna," he said to the Navi.

"Piece of cake!" Ragna said in response, dusting off his shoulder a little.

"Great battle, kid!" Ribitta said, shaking the boy's hand.

"Thanks!" Jinn said, smiling.

"Here, you can have this!" Ribitta said, handing the boy a chip for LifeAura.

"Wow! Thanks!"

And with that, Ribitta left as fast as she came, no doubt to continue DNN news. Jinn watched her go for awhile.

"Nice battle there," an unfamiliar voice suddenly said, making Jinn look behind him in confusion.

The source of the voice had been a boy, looking mighty confident of himself.

"Huh??" Jinn uttered, until he realized what he had said. "Oh, uh… thanks…"

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

Jinn shrugged and said: "Guess I'm just good."

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

Jinn clenched his fists, growling, and Ragna clutched his lance in anger.

"I bet I could!!" he said.

"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!!!"

The Navi's hand shifted into a flaming purple blade, before shooting himself at Ragna with nearly blinding speed. Nonetheless, Ragna easily blocked all swings the smaller Navi threw at him. He kept on blocking, when Razor suddenly pulled out a Buster and sent Ragna away quite a distance, but the LongSword-chip gave up that particular second. Still, the pelt of plasma didn't in the least harm him, this making Razor growl.

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

Razor looked like he was about to slap himself, but he didn't.

"I hear ya!!" he said, and slid out two fire-red blades from his gloves, much to Ragna's surprise.

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

Ragna's eyes widened, but he managed to jump out of harm's way with an agile leap, and landed gracefully on his feet.

"You're quite fast," Razor complimented, making Ragna blink. "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. The waves were sharp, and bit at his skin, making him hiss in pain whenever one of them would hit him.

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

Ragna shook his head and glared at Razor.

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

Razor stood there for a moment, when he suddenly smirked, retracted his blades, and jumped up. 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. He ran five paces, jumped, landed with his hands on the lance, pushed off, landed on his feet, jumped again, landed again, pushed off, flipped forward, landed, jumped, and cartwheeled through the air, kicking Ragna square in the face, sending him back.

Ragna groaned, rubbing his sore jaw where Razor had hit him, and tried to sit up.

"Okay! Enough!! Ragna!! Plug out!!" Jinn stated firmly, and Ragna obeyed calmly.

"Razor, good job," the other boy said to his Navi.

Razor smirked and plugged out as well.

Jinn turned to the boy and said: "That was a good battle! You're pretty experienced!"

The boy 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.

Mike read the email over, then 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 Jinn's hand, before rushing off.

"He's good," Ragna mumbled as they left the arcade.

"Tell me about it," Jinn said softly. "Okay, now what?"

"I dunno. Cruise the Net or something."

"Sure."

Ragna spent quite some time cruising the Net, until he got bored and went to the Center to get an A-license. He'd already gotten a Z- and B-license a few days ago, and right now, he didn't have anything else to do. So why not take the exam?

He passed the test with flying colors, and he was glad of it, but now he was bored out of his mind!

That's probably why he'd been walking around for no reason for the past few hours. He wasn't really thinking of anything, which made everything so much worse. Most of the times, when you're bored, thinking helps a lot. But if you don't even know what to think about, what's there to think about?

That's when he heard something that made him think.

Four tones, five notes.

'What the?! That's Proto's whistle!!' Ragna thought in confusion, and began to walk, searching for the source of the whistle.

He came to some sort of desert, and noticed a single Navi, walking around, and calmly whistling the tune. The Navi had gray hair like ProtoMan, but she was a girl. Okay, a little muscular, but still a girl.

Calmly, he walked over to her. She didn't seem to notice, because she didn't acknowledge him.

"Nice tune," he said once he was behind her.

The girl gave a startled yelp as she whirled around. The first thing he noticed about her face were the pieces of her helmet that clung to her cheeks like a second skin. Second was the pale skin that made her face stand out between all the blacks and grays of her armor and hair. And then there were the pure magenta colored eyes, as well as the blood-ruby colored gem on her forehead. Also, she had her Navi-Symbol, which was a plain sigma-emblem, embossed on the two caps covering her ears.

She blinked at him, and asked, eyes shining with recognition: "Have we met? You look familiar."

Ragna was silent for awhile, finding it odd that he could actually read this girl so easily. Usually, he could only read people if he knew people perfectly. He couldn't remember having ever seen this girl anywhere before. But those eyes… they did seem familiar…

"I doubt that," he finally said, looking down at the smaller Navi. "I haven't really been the most social person since a friend of mine left."

The girl looked at him oddly, tilting her head a little to the side, asking: "How come?"

Why did that single gesture seem so familiar? It was like he'd seen it so many times before, but he couldn't grasp it. It kept slipping through his fingers.

"I haven't seen her in quite some years, and I'm starting to think she's not even alive."

Why was he even telling her that? He didn't know, but he had to get it off his chest.

"Oh? What was her name?"

Ragna hesitated for a moment, then decided that it couldn't do any harm, and answered: "Raye."

The girl suddenly smirked, and said: "That R-A-Y, Nicky-boy!"

Ragna gasped in shock and stared at the girl like she just grew an extra head. He wasn't sure if this was real, but the only one who had ever called him Nicky-boy, had been…

Still smirking, the girl removed her helmet from her cranium, making her hair fall onto her back.

"It's been a while, eh Nicky-boy??" she said teasingly.

"R-R-Ray??! W-w-what are you doing here?!" Ragna asked once he'd relocated his voice.

Ray sighed and said: "No idea. How'd you get here?"

"Uh… Paul and I were just playing a game, and suddenly we were here."

"Oh, Pauly's here too?" Ray asked.

Ragna gave a sigh and said: "Ray… we're no little kids anymore."

"Neither am I," Ray said, putting the helmet back on her head. "I grew up after…"

She let it hang. But Ragna knew what she meant.

"Anyway!" Ragna said, extending his hand. "Nice to meet you! My name is Ragnarok.EXE, but everyone calls me Ragna."

Ray blinked, then smirked and said, shaking the Navi's hand: "Muramasa.EXE, Official NetNavi, pleasure."

"No kidding!" Ragna said.

"Chaud persuaded Shine and me," Muramasa said. "Piece of cake."

"Well duh! I mean, you're the Ultimate MegaMan Warrior! Always were, always will be!" Ragna said with a smile.

"As if," Muramasa said.

"No! I'm serious!! With all those high scores of yours!! I'm still trying to beat your high scores!!" Ragna said, placing his hands on her shoulders.

Muramasa stammered for awhile, feeling her cheeks burn. Ragna seemed to always be the only one able to do that to her.

"Kuso! How the hell do you keep doing that!?!" she demanded.

"Guess I know you too well," Ragna said, giving the girl a tap on her nose and running off.

Ragna was laughing all the way he was running, until he heard Muramasa scream: "RAGNA!! YOU JERK!!! GET BACK HERE!!!"

And thus, she chased him around the Net for quite some time.

After Ragna and Muramasa had said their good-byes, they headed back to their own servers, planning to tell their Operators about whom they'd met. Still, there was one sentence that kept echoing in Ragna's mind for quite some time.

Chaud persuaded Shine and me…

Chaud persuaded Shine…

Chaud persuaded…

What was Muramasa doing hanging around with Chaud?? He didn't know. But one thing he did know, was that Muramasa thought that some bad guys looked cute.

He chuckled faintly at the memory.

*Flashback*

"C'mon stupid Auto!! Hurry up!!" Raye hissed as she sat with the controller in hand. "The city's under attack damnit!!"

"Chill out, Raye!" Paul said, trying to calm her.

Raye tried to calm down, but she just wanted to fight already. But when Auto gave Mega a Mett-helmet, the trio burst out laughing.

"H-h-he looks ridiculous wearing that!" Raye managed to get out.

After that scene, the real fighting began, and Raye started fighting the enemies she encountered. Upon reaching the boss, she started running, but didn't fire, only charged. Her eyes followed her enemy's movements, before she finally started firing away, killing the giant robot within only a few moments.

"You're going down, Wily!!" Raye hissed and continued on. "Huh?? What happened here?"

The reason for this question, were the amounts of enemies lying around, destroyed. Something's passed that robot before Mega had.

Nonetheless, Raye continued on, until…

"Whoa!!"

When she reached a new screen, a black and gold Bioroid suddenly showed up and started firing at Mega. Raye tried to blast him, but every time she fired he jumped. But, as always, Raye soon figured out the pattern and practically had the Bioroid begging for mercy.

But before he would be seriously injured, they started talking.

"Bass and Treble, eh?" Raye wondered aloud, looking at the black Bioroid and purple robotic wolf.

"I don't really like the looks of them," Nick said.

"Oh? I think Bass is kinda cute."

"You what?!?!" Paul and Nick asked at the same time.

"What's the deal?? I'm serious, he's cute!"

Raye continued playing the entire game, until she came to Shade Man's door, where she once again encountered Bass. Mega sent the wounded Bioroid to Light's lab, saying they were a team, and Raye agreed with the Blue Bomber.

But when Raye defeated all Robot Masters…

"Huh!?!?!?" the trio exclaimed.

The reason for this exclamation was because the lab was in ruins.

Mega Man: D… Dr. Light. What happened!?

Light: Is that you Mega Man? Bass went berserk after I completed his repairs. He stole the parts for the new enhancements…

"Say what?!?!" Raye demanded, not believing it.

Nick and Paul looked at each other in confusion.

*End Flashback*

It had been as if she was attracted to dark, mysterious types, such as Bass, Zero, Dynamo, and even Gate! There were more people who found them attractive, but Raye--I mean, Muramasa--seemed to be instantly attracted to them.

And he started wondering if Chaud or ProtoMan.EXE belonged to that group.

"Hey, Jinn! Guess who I met while I cruising around!" Ragna said after opening a link with his Operator.

Jinn picked up his PET and said: "I give up. Who?"

"I'll give you a hint. She's got gray hair, and her eyes are magenta."

"Wha!??! Raye?!?!"

"Yep. But she's known as Muramasa now. Man, she changed a lot! I can tell you that!"

"I can imagine. It's been quite some time."

"That's what she said too."

"Did you ask her why she kept ignoring us for so long?"

"Yeah, after she stopped chasing me around."

"Excuse me??"

"Later! Anyway, she said she spent a few years in Japan, where she went to college. She also studied the MA there, and after that, she came back to the USA, and she apparently got a job when she came back. Don't know where, she didn't tell."

"Aha."

"That might explain the accent."

"Accent??"

"Yeah, she's got a Japanese accent. She spent quite some time there."

"Most likely."

"………"

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Wha?? Oh. Nothing. Just…"

"What is it, Ragna? Come on, tell me!"

"Her voice… it was the same as the one from my dream…"

"Say what?! She was with you there!?"

"Yeah… and… now that I think about it… that Razor guy was there too. He was that other guy."

"………Now… now that you mention it. That Mike… I could've sworn that was one of the voices I heard in my dream."

"…………"

"………………"

"……………………"

"…………………………"

"Something's definitely not right here."

"You're telling me!"

Ragna opened his eyes, only to find himself some place dark, and the strangest part was; he was afloat!

Panic was the first emotion to enter him as he tried to understand what was going on, until he suddenly noticed, that even in the dark, he, himself, was quite visible… but… he was without his armor…

Or… it felt that way.

He couldn't feel the armor on his skin, but he wasn't sure, seeing as he was now paying more attention to where he was. Wherever he was, it was unfamiliar. He couldn't find anything he recognized, but he kept searching. He tried to move through the darkness, and found out he just have to think of a direction to go to move.

Floating on and on in the darkness, he kept on looking for anything, until…

A piercing orb of light suddenly popped up, making him halt and shield his eyes. The light was not white, yellow, or orange, as lights usually are. No, this one was a piercing blood red. Ragna looked at the light through his arms, confused, until he realized there were two of them.

The lights simply hung there, not doing anything, until the lights narrowed, and it dawned to Ragna that he wasn't looking at lights, but at a pair of eyes!

The eyes blinked, then closed completely, leaving him in the darkness again.

About to question it, Ragna screamed out as a furious pain seared through his back.

He turned to look through squinted eyes, gritting his teeth, trying not to hiss, finding it impossible. A furious red gaze is fixed on him, and a figure, cloaked in complete darkness looms over him, before raising a clawed and hand, and thrusting it straight at his face!

"JESUS CHRIST!!!" Ragna shouted as he was startled awake from the nightmare.

Confused, the tall Navi looked around, not quite understanding what was going on. He sat up carefully, as if his back still hurt, which definitely wasn't the case.

'Just what the hell was that??' he wondered, before dropping back down.

The nightmare had left him completely clueless, and he wasn't sure how to react to it.

"Ah, whatever," Ragna finally mumbled, and tumbled back into Neverland.

What he didn't know, was that two other Navis were having the same dream as him, and were just as confused as he was.

The Navis were both wide-awake, trying to understand the message behind their dream, but unable to find it. They knew it had to be somewhere in their heads, but no matter what, they couldn't find the answer.

Razor started pacing around, confused about the dream, before he stopped and tapped his foot in annoyance, arms crossed.

"Damned dream…" he muttered. "It's making me nervous as hell. I'm just going to ignore it. Not like this'll do me any good."

Muramasa gently moved a hand through her hair, purposely avoiding a certain spot on her cranium, as she sat on her bed, staring at the wall.

She kept on mumbling in Japanese, saying stuff I'd rather not mention, seeing as there might be little kids reading this.

Somewhere on the Net, roamed a Navi who had been thought to be deleted years ago, known amongst people as a Navi of Gospel. One of the speediest Navis ever created, yet he was deleted by a child. A child and a blasted Navi! But now he would have his revenge!

"Hmph, another one of those danged clones," a cold sadistic voice called out.

The Navi whirled around, only to receive a pure purple blast shot through his chest, and quite a couple of other blasts incinerating the rest of his body.

Raising his black- and gold-gloved hand, he blew the smoke away from his fingers, like cowboys do in the Wild West.

"So this is what's keeping them busy," he murmured, starting to walk around. "And if they're busy, they won't have time to 'play'. Hmph. Looks like I'm going to have to do something about this."

And with that, he dashed off, before vanishing to another Net within only a few seconds.

"Another Navi's been deleted…"

"By who this time?"

"I don't know sir…"

"Hmmm… copy them all again… and did you get what I wanted?"

"Yes sir."

"Good. Let us begin then."

AOOGA!! AOOGA!!

"What in blazes?!"

"Sir! There's something on our server!!"

"Then get rid of it!!"

"We can't, sir! It's too powerful!!"

"…!!! Are you saying that…!??!"

Bleep bleep!

"Message for you, sir."

"What?!?!"

"…………So… you've been keeping them busy…"

"What???"

"Sir??"

"……Heh… not for long…"

"Sir! The power's going across the limit!!"

"Oh shit!! Do something about it!!"

"We can't! Everything's jammed!!!"

"Ahahaha… AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Z: [holds Buster ready] Just try!

Chibi-chan: Er… [sweatdrop] I'll pass…

D. Zero: Chicken…

Z: Oh really? [aims Buster at D. Zero] Let's see you try.

D. Zero: No thanks. It's a childish act to do.

Z: Well, at least someone here's got brains… [thinks] oh… scratch that…

D. Zero: What do you mean?!?

Z: Attacking my dog wasn't the smartest thing to do.

D. Zero: Lost my temper. And besides, you can fix him!

Z: Shut it.

D. X: Wasn't there supposed to be a sneak-peak??

Z: Eh?? Oh! Right.

"Ah, drill ya!!!"

"Uh… I ain't allowed ta screw…"
