Right, Razor, Mike, Tsuchi, Sara, Shun, his new Navi are up, and a certain Australian Navi are up. Yes they're all in this chapter. -_-
------------------------------------
TJ and Rikumon: Sorry, but Clown Man is just one of my least favorite Robot Masters. And besides, ColoredMan looks way too much like Clown Man already.
Youkai Ryuu: Yeah, so do I.
Pyrogirll23: Okay, gotcha. But Zero ain't that bad once you get to know him. ……Oh, never mind, this IS my brother we're talking about. (D. Zero: "Damn straight! And I ain't proud of it." Z: "Shut up!") By the by, guess who's in Koto?
Song: How'd you even know I was talking about you? Thanks for clearing that up for me. Actually, those two aren't the real Zero and X. No, those two are D. Zero and D. X, and those two are close to being Mavericks. (D. Zero: "Well thanks a lot." Z: "SHUT UP!") Well, Shine isn't used to long hair, and besides, she doesn't want to look like her sis. 0_o Who says he can't swim?? I'm a good swimmer myself, but when someone surprised me and tossed me in the water, I almost cramped up. …Hey if you don't mind, we still need him for this story.
Enigma: Aha. Oh, here, I managed to keep these away from my bro. [hands cookies to Enigma] I think they were chocolate chip, but I'm not sure.
Red Chaos Mage: I know. ^_^ I think bro's turning me into a "Mavvie" as well. (D. Zero: "I am NOT!!!" Z: "Yeah right." D. Zero: "I AM NOT!!!!")
…: Nope. But I'll most likely make a loose fic with one-shots about possible couples like I did with another one of my stories. Some couples from that story made no sense at all, seriously, but it was the challenge I was after.
Trinity: Eh? I did?? [reads Reflection] Woopsie. Didn't even notice. By the way, you reviewed my 'Sleepover' story, correct? If you complained that it should've been NC-17 rating, then, most likely, you have not read the warning I wrote at the very beginning, because I wrote, and I quote: "Rating's R, but it's supposed to be NC-17, so you've been warned." And that goes for you too, Song! [glares, places fists on hips and taps foot in annoyance]

Chapter V Part 2: Two Plus Two Equals Five
"Man! It's so freaking hot outside!!"
"You're telling me!"
"How do you know? You're inside a PET!"
"Yeah, but I'm still goddamned hot!!"
"If you're hot, I don't want to know how hot Muramasa must be with all those dark colors of hers."
"No, me neither."
--
Mike sat down on the bench with a sigh, wiping the sweat from his forehead. It was way too hot to stay inside, so he'd decided to get out. He'd gone to Marine Harbor to cool down, but it didn't really help. And the water now looked relatively inviting.
He wasn't the only one thinking that. A lot of little children were wading in the shallow water, under supervision of their parents of course, playing games most little children would play.
Mike groaned as he wiped more sweat from his brows. Having black hair in weather like this proved to be very unpleasant.
"Hi there!" a familiar voice suddenly said, and Mike jumped a little, before tilting his head back.
"Shun!" he said, staring at the boy upside-down. "Long time no see!"
Shun smiled and sat down on the bench beside Mike.
"It's hot out, isn't it?" he asked.
"You don't have to tell me!" Mike said, leaning back against the bench. "I just feel like jumping into the water right now! But there's no way I'm jumping in with my clothes on!"
"Why not? With this weather, it'll dry up in no time!"
"Well, I don't feel like walking around with my clothes all wet, okay?"
Shun smiled a little, and the two of them watched the kids play around in the water. They said nothing, and just sat there for god knows how long.
"Hey, Mike! I upgraded my Navi!" Shun suddenly said, and Mike looked at him in confusion.
"You did??" he asked.
Shun smiled broadly, and pulled out a PET that held a symbol that was almost the same as that of MegaMan, only it was mirrored, it was a bright yellow color, and there was a was a strange boomerang shaped thing on it, and he showed Mike the screen.
A rather small Navi was staring back at him. He was about three inches shorter than MegaMan to Mike's estimation, and had a pair of shades shielding his eyes like ProtoMan, with a strange yellow boomerang of some sort resting gently on his forehead. He wore green armor that was almost identical to MegaMan's, but it was still different here and there. There was a single stripe running over his helmet in the center, which was separated into smaller segments. The part around his wrists was a pure yellow, as well as those just under his knees.
"Um uh… hi," the Navi said nervously, waving at Mike a little shyly.
Mike looked at him curiously, recognizing the design from something else.
"Mike, this is Quint, Quint, this is Mike," Shun said, still smiling.
'Ah yes! Quint. Mega Man 2 and 5, Gameboy versions. A future version of Mega and redesigned by Wily,' Mike thought, smiling a little.
--
Razor looked at the shorter Navi, who stared up with a fearful look, even if it wasn't fully visible with his shades on. They stood in silence for awhile, neither willing to break the silence.
Finally though, Razor extended his hand to the Navi with a smile.
"I'm Razor, pleased to meet you," he said calmly.
The smaller Navi looked hesitant, before he accepted the taller Navi's hand, shaking it rather lightly. Razor didn't really bother with it.
"So, is Shun a good Operator?" Razor asked, rather curious.
Quint nodded and said: "Yes, very much so. But… I'm not very good at NetBattling."
"Ah, that's no big deal!" Razor said, waving it aside. "All you need is some practice and you'll be fine."
Quint looked at him with a strange look, even though it was barely visible.
--
"Hey Shun, how 'bout we go cruise the Net for awhile?" Mike finally suggested.
"Okay!" Shun said excitedly and got up quickly.
Mike chuckled and stood up as well. Man, that kid could be even more enthusiastic than Lan.
--
Razor easily fired a bolt of plasma at the virus, sending it into deletion within mere seconds. Quint watched in amazement as Razor zoomed back and forth to delete viruses all around, not missing a beat. Finally, Razor pulled out his blades and began to hack away at every virus that came at him. Quint blinked as the viruses began to scatter in fright, leaving a laughing Razor behind.
"What a bunch of cowards!" Razor said through his laughter, retracting his blades.
Quint moved over, and watched the last of the viruses vanished from sight.
"You're good," the small Navi said.
Razor simply smiled and said: "I've been practicing a lot with a friend of mine. And afterward, I started hammering on my own skills a little. Like I said, practice makes perfect."
Quint smiled a little shyly, and was about to say something, when a whistle broke him off.
The duo looked up in surprise, but Razor's surprised expression soon became a smirk.
"Tsuchi," he said, as the girl Navi easily jumped from the rock she was on, landing in front of them.
"Hey Razor! I wasn't counting on seeing you anytime soon!" she said, smiling.
"Same here," Razor said. "Oh, this is Quint. Quint, this is Tsuchi."
"Pleasure to meet you," Tsuchi said, smiling and shaking the smaller Navi's hand.
Razor smiled at Quint's fearful expression, knowing that Quint had probably never seen a girl before.
"Hey, we were heading for Koto Square. You feel like coming along?" Razor asked.
Tsuchi blinked and said, looking up at where her Operator was probably looking: "Sara? Can I go with them?"
"Yeah, sure," a girl's voice said.
"Whoa hold up!" Razor suddenly said, making everyone look at him in surprise. "I don't think we introduced our Operators yet."
"No shit, Sherlock!" Mike mumbled.
Razor simply rolled his eyes and opened a connection with Mike. Quint opened a connection with Shun, and Tsuchi with her own Operator, going by the name Sara.
Sara had long, dark blond hair, and slightly slanted eyes, giving her a light Asian look. Around her neck hung a chain with a 'Best Friends' charm on it. She carried the 'Best' one, and, after looking closely, Razor noticed the 'Friends' charm around Tsuchi's neck. Sara wore a black sleeveless shirt with two red stoles with yellow trims. Her pants were black with a red trim near the ankles, and the flaps near her waist had two red waves on them. Her sneakers were pitch black.
The blonde gave a cool nod and said: "Hi, I'm Sara Kuki, plain Sara if you want to, I don't really care anyway."
Mike smiled and said: "Name's Michael Necros, but everyone calls me Mike."
Shun looked a little uneasy as he said: "Shun Obihiro, pleased to meet you."
Razor saw Tsuchi and Sara talk to Quint and Shun, but for some odd reason, the voices were becoming duller and duller as the seconds passed. He tried to read their lips, but his vision started to become blurry, and his breathing began to speed up. Perspiration started to gather, and finally slipped down his cheek, just past his brow, and finally dropped to the ground.
Faintly, he heard his name being called, but he couldn't register who was saying it. His eyes began to droop shut, though he struggled to keep them open. He staggered back, trying to stay on his feet as he could barely lift his arms to keep his balance. His body felt like it was made out of metal, and finally, it became too much for him, and he simply collapsed.
--
"We have to…… can't stop!!!"
--
"This won't wo…… goners!"
--
"Shut up shut up!! We…… give up!!"
--
"Oh god…… drugged."
--
"You…… a scare."
--
"Shi…… smarts!"
--
"Why are…… Bass??
--
"PRO…… VANCE!!!"
--
"OME…… IVATE!!!"
--
"MUR…… IVATE!!!"
--
"HYP…… IVATE!!!"
--
"Hehehehe…… you…… worthless…… useless data…… deletion…… destruction……… DIE!!!"
--
With a sudden jolt, Razor shot awake, confusion written all over his face as he stared up.
"…The fuck 'appened?" he asked tiredly, sitting up and rubbing the sleep from his eyes, not noticing that Tsuchi'd been shaking him awake for the longest time.
"You… you fainted," Quint said, confused.
"I think your Navi caught a bug, or something," Sara said to Mike, who gave the girl a slight frown, before turning to his Navi.
"Razor? You alright?"
"I'll be fine. I dunno wha 'appened," Razor said, before shaking his head wildly and getting back up.
Tsuchi got up as well, blinking at Razor as he seemed to be fighting a war with himself. He seemed so confused, but he said nothing.
Sara was the one to break the silence though.
"Hey Shun, how 'bout a NetBattle? I really need to do something to get my mind off of the Net's current situation!"
Razor frowned a little, knowing she meant those 'Zahler' guys, but a smirk found its way to his face at the prospect of a fight.
"I'm not sure," Shun said, clearly hesitating. "I'm not that experienced with NetBattles."
"Ah, come on! It'll be a good training for you! Stop whining!" Razor said with a smile.
Quint and Shun looked at each other for a moment, then sighed.
"Alright, I-I'll try," Shun said, gulping down a lump in his throat.
--
Quint and Tsuchi stood almost 5 meters away from each other, both ready to fight whenever their Operators gave the signal. Razor sat on the sidelines, watching everything with an amused look on his face. He was rather curious about the outcome of the battle. Tsuchi had enough experience, but Quint had a good chance too, seeing as his Operator used to be a programmer.
Finally, the words "BATTLE START" zoomed across the ground.
"Tsuchi! Use your whip to get him out of there!!" Sara shouted.
Tsuchi smirked and pulled out her whip, lashing out at the relatively smaller Quint.
"Quint! Dodge it, hurry!!" Shun shouted, and the Navi just managed to avoid the lash.
The brunette gave a growl and lashed out sideways at Quint. The green Navi saw the opportunity and grabbed a hold of the whip in his hand, ignoring the stinging pain starting to form. With a good pull, Tsuchi was sent soaring through the air with a startled yelp.
Razor watched the fight with amusement as blows were extended left and right, and Quint was actually rather good, once he got the hang of the fight.
Quint hurriedly jumped away from Tsuchi who tried to punch him, nearly making the girl tumble to the ground.
--
"Sword! Slot in!"
--
Quint's arm transformed into a medium sized sword, and he rushed forward at the other Navi with a yell.
--
"LongSword! Slot in!"
--
Tsuchi easily managed to block the smaller Navi's sword, and they started hacking away at each other ferociously. When the chips lost their effect though, the duo looked at each other for a few seconds in confusion, before they began punching and kicking at each other.
--
Razor smirked at the evident display of anger. But even though fights usually fascinated him, he couldn't help but think of the first time he really fought. Not a NetBattle, but a real battle.
And three guesses with whom.
*Flashback*
"Be careful, onnechan!" Shine shouted from the sidelines as Ray and Dare walked into the ring of the trainingroom.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that!?" Ray asked angrily, before climbing up on the ring, which was a few feet higher than the floor.
Dare followed shortly after and looked around the ring. There was nothing to restrain him if he came too close to the edge, but luckily, there were mats laid out on the floor to break his fall, if he were to tumble over the edge. His hair had been tied back in a ponytail, because Ray warned him that it might fall in his eyes if he didn't. Ray had braided it to avoid the same, seeing as her hair was a lot longer than his.
Ray did some easy warming-ups, and Dare followed her example, excitement running through him at the thought of his first battle.
--
Once they were ready, Ray rubbed her wrist, a strange habit she had for when she was ready to fight, and said: "I won't go all-out, but only because you haven't finished training yet."
Dare once again heard the challenge, and he chuckled, saying: "Fine, but if I whoop your ass, it's your fault."
Ray's brows furrowed, but she said nothing. Instead, she crouched down into a fighting stance, and Dare quickly did the same, not planning to be caught of guard.
Mike and Shine watched from the sidelines, the tension making their bodies shiver.
Dare's foot moved less than an inch, before he was shot off toward the gray-haired girl. Ray frowned and shot forward, avoiding Dare's punch and aiming a kick for his midsection. Dare managed to grab her wrist and hurled her over his head. He slammed Ray into the ground, who gave a yelp of surprise, but suddenly grabbed his collar and slammed him face-first into the ground.
Dare hissed in pain as his forehead bled and his head pounded like crazy. His elbow shot out and hit Ray against her nose, sending her back with a cry as she held her hands against her bleeding nose.
"Shimatta!" she cursed angrily, before rolling aside to avoid a kick to her face.
She easily kicked his feet away from under him, sending him crashing to the ground.
*End Flashback*
Razor blinked, and realized he couldn't remember how it was supposed to end. He couldn't remember how the fight ended or who won. He shrugged it off, thinking it was nothing.
Razor finally looked up again, and noticed Tsuchi was down on the ground, tending a sore head by the looks of it.
--
"High Cannon! Slot in!"
--
She shot up again, and fired a bolt of plasma at the other Navi.
--
"Barrier! Slot in!"
--
The hit clanged right off. Quint gave a cocky little smile, and Tsuchi fumed in anger. She was about to lash out again…
"All right! Enough you two!!" Razor finally shouted.
The duo looked at him in confusion.
"I thought we were heading for Koto, and at this rate, we'll never get there!" Razor explained.
Mike slapped himself to his head and said: "Stupid! That's right! Razor, let's go!"
"Roger!"
"Quint, you can go along if you want to," Shun said calmly.
"Okay!"
"Tsuchi?" Sara asked.
"I'm in!"
--
After quite some running, the three Navis finally arrived at KotoSquare, with Quint and Tsuchi out of breath. Razor looked at them a little oddly, then shrugged and started walking, with the two Navis on his heels.
They simply walked about for a while, just looking around and not really doing anything.
"Hey Razor," Tsuchi said suddenly.
"Yeah?" Razor asked, looking at the girl.
"Have you ever lost a battle?" she asked.
Razor raised an eyebrow at her and said: "Only against Muramasa, but then again, she was way stronger than I was at that time."
"Muramasa… wasn't that that friend of yours?" Shun asked.
Mike nodded and said: "That's right. Her Operator's named Shine, and she's one of my best friends. Most likely because we both have Navis that really enjoy fighting."
"Hey!!" Razor said, but he wasn't as angry as he seemed.
"So, she's your girlfriend?" Quint asked, and Razor nearly lost his footing.
"My-my WHAT?!?! You MUST be kidding!!! Me and-and--- the squirt!? Give me a break!!" Razor said, clearly not liking the idea of being in a relationship with Muramasa.
"Whoa! Sorry!" Quint said, holding up his hands in defense.
Tsuchi looked a little confused, and asked: "She's not?"
Razor shook his head and said: "She's a nice girl once you get to know her, but she's just not my type. And besides, Muramasa's not very fond of that type of stuff. 'Too much fluff for me'," Razor mimicked Muramasa's way of talking, including her accent.
Tsuchi nodded softly, and Quint looked a little strangely at Razor for a moment.
"By the way, Razor," Mike said, suddenly remembering something. "If you happen to run across the chip-store, mind getting that you-know-what?"
"Wha----OH!! Right! I'll see if they have it delivered already once we get by," Razor said.
The others were left in the dark, but it was most likely something they didn't want to share with them, or it wasn't any of their business to know.
--
"Could you two wait here for a sec? I won't take long," Razor said, and walked into the chip-shop.
"What do you think he's doing in there?" Tsuchi asked.
"I don't know. He never said that, remember?" Quint said calmly, leaning against the wall.
Tsuchi growled and did the same, only as far away from Quint as possible.
--
Razor calmly walked into the store, and looked around for a moment, noting that it wasn't really crowded.
"Hey there! Can I--oh! Mr. Razor! Good to see you again!" the girl clerk said upon seeing him. "I guess you're here about the chip you've been searching?"
Razor simply nodded. He'd been here a few times before, and they didn't have the chip back then, but they said they'd try to find one for him.
"So, do you have it?" he asked.
"As a matter of fact!" the clerk said, and gave him the correct data, in exchange for the money Razor handed over.
"Thanks," Razor said.
"No problem!" the girl Navi said and went to the back to do some cleaning up no doubt.
Razor turned around to walk out, when he banged straight into somebody. He seemed to do that a lot lately.
"Ow!" the girl said, rubbing her sore head, having run straight into his chest.
"Sorry, didn't see you there," Razor said, taking the girl in quickly.
The girl had deep sapphire blue eyes and golden blond hair in a low ponytail tied by a red ribbon. Her body was covered in white spandex and she had a ruby-red armor over it with black rims covering her chest, legs and from the hands to elbows. Around her waist was a belt with a sheath containing one fancy looking sword. On her head rested a ruby-red and white helmet with a set of black square-goggles just on her forehead, which could most likely cover her eyes, though he wasn't sure why. Also, her Navi-Symbol was practically identical to MegaMan's, only it was white with a red streak.
The girl looked up and smiled a little, saying: "No, it was me fault. I shoul've watched where I was goin'."
"Ah, don't bother. You here to buy a chip?"
"Yep. Dynawave ta be exact. Ye?"
"Can't say. It's a present for a friend's birthday, and I don't want her to find out at anyway through others."
"Oh. Okay. I guess tha's a good 'nough reason."
"By the way, you Australian or something?"
"Why yeah, how'd ya guess?"
"Your accent gave it away."
"Aha! Maybe I oughta do somethin' 'bout tha."
"You shouldn't. If you do that, you change who you are. So, my advice, don't change anything about yourself."
"Thanks fer the advice. By the by, name's Sonica, who're ye?"
"Razor. And I had better get going. My friends are waiting outside."
"Ya mean them two squabblin' kids outside?" Sonica asked, flicking her thumb over her shoulder.
"Huh??" Razor wondered aloud and rushed outside.
Sonica simply watched through the shop-window.
--
Once outside, Razor was dumbfounded to see Quint and Tsuchi arguing with each other like little children. He couldn't make out anything they were saying, because they were shouting right through one another, making them both inaudible. Razor looked back and forth between them both, unable to understand what this was all about.
"Mike??"
"I don't know what happened, Razor. One moment they were fine, the next they're at each other's throat."
Razor blinked, staring at the fighting duo, unable to get a single word in between.
Finally, Razor couldn't stand it anymore, and his fists clenched in anger and his eyebrows furrowed. He grasped one of his Busters --- and fired into the air, making the duo fall silent and look in his direction. They instantly paled at the sight of his angry face.
"What's the matter with you two?!" Razor demanded. "You're acting like a bunch of kids!!"
Quint and Tsuchi looked at the ground in shame, and their Operators did too, because they could've put a stop to it, yet hadn't.
Razor placed his Buster back where it belonged and said: "Now let's go. And no more arguing! Understood?!"
The two Navis simply nodded, and they were off again.
--
Way later that evening, Mike finally dropped back on his bed, exhausted. Razor simply sat down in his PET, still looking a little grumpy, though it wasn't as bad as before. Silence reigned amongst the duo, which seemed almost impenetrable.
It seemed impossible to speak in a silence so thick, which is why neither even tried.
Mike seemed to be asleep, with his eyes closed, steady breathing, and unmoving body.
Razor on the other hand, seemed to be deep in thought, his eyes foggy and unfocussed.
--
"Ugh. You're a new face around here. Where're you from?"
"Uh… Netopia."
"Whoa! We rarely get visitors from Netopia. So what're you doing here?"
"Just uh… just cruising around. I needed to get away from my parents. See the world and stuff."
"Aha. I have that urge too. I've traveled back and forth quite some time, but I finally resided here."
"Ah."
"So, you've got friends here in Australia?"
"Uh… no."
"Then I'll have to fix that. My name's Michael Necros, but everyone calls me Mike."
"Um… I'm Shine Goldlane. Just… Shine to friends."
"Pleased to meet you."
--
"………Mike?"
"Hmmhmm?"
"You awake?"
"HUWAA!! I am now. Wassup?"
"……I uh… no, no, never mind."
"Hey, if something's the matter, you can tell me!"
"…………"
"Razor…"
"I don't think it was a coincidence we were sent here…"
"Huh?? Say what?"
"……There's a meaning to our stay here, but I can't understand what it is. I'm confused. Nothing makes sense anymore."
"Nothing ever made sense in the first place. But… why do you think it wasn't a coincidence?"
"Think about it… why are Shine and Ray here? Who sent them here? Who sent us here? I just… it's too much for my head to take."
"Whoa! Don't blow a circuit there! I'm sure we'll figure it out one way or another."
"…………"
"…………What's the time?"
"11:30 PM."
"Ah, no wonder I'm tired."
"I'm heading for the Net, okay?"
"Be careful."
"Sure, whatever."
--
Razor continued to roam the Net, not being able to do anything else, for all viruses had vanished for some reason. The Net was quiet, but he liked it that way. It gave him the chance to think things over once or twice.
He really had the feeling something bad was going to happen soon, and that the only reason they were there was to stop whatever that was from happening. He hated being someone else's pawn, and refused to be taken advantage of. But it was rather clear that he had little choice in the matter. And worst about everything, was that his memory was starting to fail him for some reason. Previously, he could easily remember his first meeting with Ray, and now he had even difficulty remembering what she wore that day
Still, he wondered. Why were they sent there? What was their purpose?
………………
He had absolutely no idea!
--
As he continued on through the Net, cold shivers started running up and down his spinal cord, though he couldn't understand why. His head started pounding like mad, like someone had hit it with a sledgehammer.
Razor looked around, but there was nothing around him as he walked, and his quiet footsteps was the only thing he could hear. It was just… creepy. Usually, there are always either viruses, or Navis around, no matter what the time of the day was. It just freaked him out.
"Razor!!" a familiar voice said, and he turned around.
"Quint?? What are you doing here?" Razor asked.
"Never mind that! We've got trouble! Trust me!"
Razor was confused. What was going on?
The cold seemed to increase with each step they took as they ran, he wasn't sure whereto. It was almost like it was trying to freeze him, freeze him with an anger beyond human belief, iced by a thick layer of hatred.
………Hatred and anger… uh oh…
'Ah shit!!' Razor thought in anger, and together with Quint, they sped up, rushing off for the source.
--
The closer they got, the more his head began to pound, and the more his body seemed to freeze, but he forced his body onward. He couldn't let that bastard destroy the Net! No way in hell!
Suddenly, the duo stopped when they heard a shout.
"S-s-s-SHUT UP!!! JUST SHUT UP!!!" a girl's voice screamed, filled with desperation, disbelief, and anger.
"Muramasa!! Oh god! What's she doing here?!" Razor whispered, but Quint heard.
"That's your friend??"
Razor simply nodded.
"Shine would never betray me!! She couldn't!!! And your Operator didn't betray you!!! I know he didn't!!!"
"You know NOTHING of me!! So stop making false conclusions!!"
Razor shuddered at the sheer anger and hatred in the guy's voice alone!
"Oh really?! Well I know for one thing that that aura of yours won't be able to handle THIS!!!"
And with that last word, followed the sound of a medium-sized explosion, a scream of absolute pain, and a loud smashing sound as the Net shook lightly.
"That does it!!! Prepare to face a painful deletion!!!"
"Ha!! I hope you're ready to face your maker!!! BRING IT ON!!!"
"Oh god! We have to stop her!!" Razor shouted.
"Right! Let's go!!"
--
