Begin the Tournament
Chaud walked through the door an hour later. He already saw the commercial in his limousine and agreed to it on one condination; they didn't have any Net Official missions then.
"Now all we to do is pick our Tag-Team partners and were ready to go" Lan said.
"We should pick which groups that can pull off great attack combos and not just people we like, that means you Dex" Chaud said while sitting down at Yai's computer. Everyone nodded their head in agreement.
"What's that supposed to mean!"
"It means you can't be my partner just because you like me" Maylu pointed out.
"Hey, just because I like you doesn't mean we can't be a great Tag-Team"
"Well I think we should consider special abilities of the navi's and our battlechips before we make our choices" Sean suggested.
"Sean's right lets see here, Gutsman is a melee fighter with Power and Ground-type battlechips, Protoman specializes in swords, my Serenade is strong in Defense and Holy-type attacks, Roll uses Water and Recovery-type chips, Axl uses Blasters and his DNA chips, Megaman uses Blasters and his Soul Unions, Iceman uses Ice and Defense type chips, and finally Glyde uses all rare battlechips"
Chaud entered the data into Yai's computer as Mamoru listed it off. 'This computer is very outdated. I'm not surprised, it's an Ayano computer.' Beep Beep Beep, Yai's PET went off.
"Hello, Yai Ayano speaking, oh hi dad, what! you can't be serious" Everyone was paying attention to Yai now. "but dad, I need Glyde for this Sunday, but dad... all right, bye"
"What was that about Yai?" Maylu asked.
"My dad needs Glyde this weekend to help Dr. Hikari fix our Advanced PET 3's" Yai kicked the nearest chair to her.
"It's not fair, now how am I going to participate in the tournament!" Yai whined. Yai sat down on the couch next to Maylu. She started to rub Yai's shoulder to comfort her.
"It'll be okay Yai, besides you never know, Dr. Hikari might fix our PET's by Sunday so you and Glyde can compete with us"
"Your right thanks Maylu" Yai hugged Maylu then got up to help Chaud and Sean with the Tag-Teams.
"According to the data, the best Tag-Teams would be Tory and Dex, Maylu and Mamoru, Sean and I, and Lan and Yai" Chaud showed the stats as he named them off, "but since we don't know if Yai will compete or not, I think Lan should find a back up partner"
"Yeah but who, there's no one left in our group" Mamoru pointed out. Lan walked up to the computer and started to type something.
"What are you doing Lan?" Dex asked
"Well since there's no one left in Den Tech City to pair up with, I'll see if anyone else is free" he said and continuing typing.
"Let's see, there's Jasmine and Medi" her stats showed up on the screen"
"No way, besides she's too far away, besides why would she come all the way over here for a tournament" Maylu stated.
"Your right, how about one of the W3 agents" Their stats showed up next.
"Nah, I ran into them on the way back, they already signed up for the tournament" Chaud told him.
"Great! Who else is left, Reika is in Sharo, besides Searchman is in no condition to fight"
"There's Princess Pride, but she's away on business" Lan didn't see the murderous look on Maylu's face when he said her name.
"Dingo and Tomahawkman are too far away too, I'm running out of options" Lan sighed and put his head down next to the keyboard.
"What about Shuro and Aquaman, they're right here in Den Tech City and you've worked with them before right?" Yai asked.
"No good, she's most likely on the staff for the tournament, considering she works for Higsby"
"What about Prisman's and Napalman's operators?" Mamoru asked.
"Still no good they're helping my dad fix the PET's" Yai answered for Lan. He lifted his head off the table and got up to get something to drink.
"That means that Yai has to make it or else you have to disqualify" Everyone got really down from the news.
"Cheer up everyone, If Yai doesn't make it, it's not the end of the world, and you guys are still competing right!" Lan yelled, "You just have to win for us!" Yai smiled.
"He's right, if we can't compete you guys just have to win for us" Lan and Yai smiled, they have some great friends.
"Now lets start training, we have a tournament to win!" Sean yelled.
"Right!"
Over the next few days the gang started training for the Tag-Team Tournament on Sunday. The group still hasn't found a new partner for Lan so, their best bet was to wait and see if Glyde could compete. Things were looking up for them by Monday, they found a lot of good attack combinations and it looked like Yai was going to be able to compete, till Friday came around that is. A virus attack set them back a day, so Yai wasn't going to be able to compete in the tournament.
"Stupid virus attack, I was going to be able to go if it wasn't for them, aurggghh" Yai went face down into her sofa.
"Don't worry Yai we'll just compete in the next one" he sat down next to Yai and patted her back to calm her down.
"but I wanted to enter this one, stupid viruses!" Rush looked offended when she said that.
"Don't get angry at her Rush, she meant the evil viruses not you" Roll said while petting him.
"Hey, Lan"
"Yeah, Mamoru?"
"Did Higsby say anything about solo navis entering?"
"No, why?" Both Yai and Lan looked up at him.
"Then I think I have a solution to your partner problem" Mamoru smirked and everyone looked confused.
"What are you getting at Mamoru?" Yai asked, she sat up but leaned on Lan's shoulder. Maylu would normally be jealous but, Lan is just a brother to Yai.
"Let's just say I know somebody who may help us out" he jacked in Serenade and then explained everything to them.
"That's perfect, thanks Mamoru!" Lan yelled
"Yeah, even I wouldn't have thought of that!" Yai said barely containing her excitement.
"As soon as Serenade gets back, let's get right back to training"
"Right!"
(Net Master's HQ)
"We have found another Darkness Data, leader" the Pyro Master informed him.
"Good, where is it?"
"In a chip shop sir, owned by a Mr. Higsby"
"I've heard that name before, but where?" he started to scratch his chin.
"Mr. Higsby is the one holding the Net Battle Tournament sir"
"Ah yes, the Tag-Team Tournament I believe" he started typing something on his laptop.
"Sir, let me retrieve this data for you" the Pyro Master bowed before the leader.
"No, send the Water Masters"
"But sir, why?" he got up and faced his leader in the face.
"This is a Tag-Team Tournament, and you don't work well with others"
"But sir!"
"I said NO! Now get the Water Masters on the job" The Pyro Master walked away with out another word.
"Why don't you send him, he is a very skilled Net Op?" the Light Master questioned him, from behind his throne.
"True, he is a very skilled Net Op, but that doesn't change the fact about his attitude towards others," he paused to turn around and look at her "didn't I send you on a different assignment?"
"Yes, but my mission is on hold until school starts so I can get near the target again"
"Just make sure you stay on top of things, your the backup plan incase our original plan fails"
"Don't worry sir, thanks to the Ice Master; I was able to scan the navi's data before hand"
"Good"
(Back to the Pyro Master.)
"I could easily handle this mission, but when the Water Masters fail I'll get a shot at the missions"
"Fat chance" Someone said.
"Who's there!" he looked around getting into a fighting stance. A Net Master has to be able to defend him or herself outside of netbattles too or risk getting caught by the Net Police.
"Settle down, it's just me" the Psychic Master walked around the corner. He smiled, one of the female masters.
"What's up baby" he put his arm around her waist and pulled her in. She stepped on his foot and hit him in the stomach.
"Not a chance" he got back up and started to growl at her.
"What the fuck bitch, I just tried to hug you!" he got up in her face, "for that I ought to beat you down right now"
"Hey, if you don't won't a worse ass kicking than back off, and watch where you put your hands or there'll be the first things to go" he just smirked.
"I'm Rick James bitch enjoy yourself" she pretended to throw up.
"What do you want besides to look at the Grand Playa?"
"Oh pleaz, I just overheard you say, you'll jump in when the Water Masters fail"
"And!"
"The Water Masters are the best tag-team in the world; no one can beat them in a Tag-Team Battle"
"There's a first time for everything"
"Yeah, right!" she started to walk away.
"Oh yeah, then how about a little wager" she stopped midstep.
"Like what?"
"If they don't make it to the finals, then you do whatever I say for a week" he said with a perverted grin.
"And if they make it to the finals?"
"... you think of something" he said unable to think of something himself. She started thinking for a couple of seconds, and then got an evil grin.
"You can't be perverted for two weeks"
"What!" he turned to her, "you're joking right?"
"Nope, two weeks of course you can back out if your scared" grinning like a chimera cat.
"Man, I ain't scurred, we have a deal" they shook hands on it.
"Be prepared to be my bitch" he went back to getting the Water Masters.
"I just hope you can go without grabbing someone's ass for two weeks" she starting laughing as she walked away.
(2 days later)
"Well guys, it's time" Lan said. They all spent the night in Yai's tree house except Chaud, Sean, and Mamoru they were going to meet them there.
"We're all set here Lan" Dex said.
"Then let's go!" They started for the door.
"Wait lets take my limousine ok guys" Yai suggested.
"Ok"
"Alright everyone take a seat" she jumped in her recliner. The others started shaking, but climbed on to Yai's couch.
"Port 5 opened!" her chair just disappeared down an opening a minute later. Then an opening was made right under the couch and they fell too.
"Aaahhhhhhh" they landed in a limousine 10 seconds later, which seemed like 10 years later to them.
"Let's go" They were driving a minute later.
"So, what do you guys think, I made it 5 seconds shorter by increasing the speed" No one answered her because of the drop.
"Miss Yai"
"Yes"
"Were at Mr. Higsby's chip shop"
"Thank you, that will be all for now" They all climbed out of the limo to see Chaud and the others waiting for them.
"Hey Chaud, Sean, Mamoru, did anyone else sign up yet" Lan asked.
"Look behind us" Chaud answered. Everyone looked behind them and were surprised. There were tons of Net battlers there some they never saw before.
"Because of some many people showing up, Higsby had to shorten the number of people who could enter so he could keep track of them all"
"You mean we trained for nothing!" Dex yelled at him while grabbing him by his collar. Lan and Sean pulled him off Chaud.
"I never said that, since we've helped Higsby in the past he saved us some spots in the tournament" Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"So how are the standings so far?" Tory asked.
"There are eight blocks and to make things interesting, Higsby put each of us in different blocks, so were almost guaranteed a spot in the Quarter-finals" Mamoru answered.
"Maylu and Mamoru are in Block A, Chaud and I are in Block C, Lan is in Block E, and Dex and Tory are in Block G"
"So even if we make it to the Quarter-finals, we won't face each other until the Semi-finals" Maylu said.
"That's right, so you better make it, I want some actual competition in this tournament" Chaud said. Two people dressed in all blue were leaning against the wall outside of the chip shop. One was a teenager like them; she had long black hair, bright blue eyes, had a wolf necklace, and wore all baggy clothes. The other one looked to be in Jr. High; he had short brownish-black hair, wore a muscle shirt and shorts, with more of a tan than his friend, but had the same blue eyes.
"Hey who are they, Chaud?" Maylu asked. Chaud turned to look at them.
"I don't know, I know they're in Block B but that's it" Maylu didn't trust them, but neither did anyone else.
