--Back at HQ--

Telsia: So, tell me...Lan...MegaMan...what is it like...fighting net crime almost every single day of your life for the past few years?
Lan: Uh, well…it's just natural. Since my father and his father have tried all they could to create an era of peace, I feel as if I have to do something to keep it that way.
Telsia: But, you have faced some of the planet's most violent and dangerous criminals, from World Three to the Zoanoroids...doesn't it ever get tiring?
Lan: No way. It's all a thrill. Even though there are good times and bad times, you'll get used to it.
Telsia: If I stay around that long. I'm no national hero like you and Chaud. -looks- Well, speak of the devil.

--As they are walking by, they find Chaud leaning in the wall nest to Keifer's office--

Telsia: Lan. You go ahead and give the report. I am going to head to Gauss' Mansion. Meet me there when you are done.
Chaud: No need. I went there while you two went to World 3's hideout.
Telsia: Hmmm. Did you find anything there?

--Before Chaud could answer Manuela came out of Keifer's office came out--

Manuela: Chief Keifer isn't in his office right now. He went to SciLab to speak with Dr. Hikari and Famous. Come on. I'll drive you three there.

--The 4 of them drove off and arrived at SciLab and go to the main lab where they were expected--

Keifer: Ahh. There are 3 of our finest Net Savers. We have a visitor here, as well.

--A man in green walks in--

Raika: Sharo NetSaver Raika, reporting for duty, as per your request, Commissioner Keifer.
Lan: Yo, Raika! It's been awhile since I've seen you.
Raika: It has, Lan. Good to see you. You as well, Chaud. looks over at Telsia What is SHE doing here?
Telsia: Oh, great. Here we go again...
Mist: You said it...
Lan: What do you mean? You know each other?
Chaud: Lan, you're so clueless.
Raika: We did a mission together in Kingland. However, her NetNavi...
Telsia: -interrupts- Don't you start, Raika. You know that it was SearchMan who blew that mission...
Raika: The final report says otherwise.
Telsia: Because it was YOUR report! Which you sent you YOUR branch of the NetSavers!
Dr. Hikari: Alright, settle down. Raika isn't the only reason you've been called here.
Telsia: I guess that is a good thing.
Mist: Telsia...shhhhh.
Telsia: -makes an angry face-
Keifer: As we already know, NeoGrave has begun to cause havoc across the net. We now have reason to believe they'll try and go after the prize at tomorrow's Cyber Duel tournament.
Lan: Cyber Duel? What's that?
Keifer: Telsia can tell you since it was created in Kingland.
Telsia: Ahh, Cyber Duels.

--Telsia points her head down thoughtfully, and then lifts it back up--

Telsia: To put it simply, it is like a one-shot NetBattle. Much like how people did it in the old days, 2 NetNavis stand back to back. Then they walk 10 paces, turn, and attack. Swords, blasters, cannons. They can all be used. If the opponent is logged out, then of course, the one standing is the winner. However, if both are still standing, the one that took the most damage is considered the loser. In a tournament setting, the lower can participate in the Wild Card matches later on. However, because the opponent in the final match MUST be logged out in order for a winner to be declared, both Navis repeat the back to back standing and paces until one is logged out.

--Telsia clears her throat--

Famous: Yes, I remember that game. I used to play it a lot when I was your age.
Lan: I see. So what's the prize?
Telsia: I am curious as well. What is the prize for this specific Cyber Duel Tournament?
Raika: It's a program that can customize a navi to its fullest potential.
Chaud: It was created by BlazeQuest a while back, but was discontinued.
Telsia: So, not only would it be a powerful program for any Navi, but because of its rarity, it would also fetch a large price on the UnderNet Market.
Famous: Exactly. That's why, tomorrow, each of your navis will play a role in this.
Keifer: Based on your navi's abilities, we've determined that MegaMan and ProtoMan will compete and SearchMan and Mist will be on lookout.
Keifer: Any questions?
Telsia: Nope. -To herself- Just hope that Raika doesn't screw this up like last time.
Raika: As long as she doesn't try to take over again, there will be no problems.
Telsia: -facepalm- You just don't understand, do you, Raika? But, with your head being full of rules and regulations, I wouldn't expect you to. Anyway, I think we should get going.
Dr. Hikari: Go ahead home, Lan, so you'll be ready for tomorrow.
Famous: I think it would be best if you all went and got some rest.
Lan: So Telsia, where are you staying?
Telsia: If you don't mind, Dr. Hikari, I think I will bunk here at SciLab for the night. Living Arrangements were not made for me just yet, as things have been rather...busy, to say the least.
Dr. Hikari: You can stay at our house. We have an extra room.
Telsia: No need. Besides, I would rather be here anyway. I noticed during our battle with StoneMan and BlasterMan that something wasn't quite right with the Manifestation Chip. Using some of the equipment here, I may help me find an answer. But, I do thank you for the offer, Dr. Hikari.
Dr. Hikari: You're welcome. Oh, Lan. Here's a new chip I've developed that should help you out.

--Dr. Hikari hands the chip to Lan--

Lan: Alright. See you guys tomorrow.

--Lan skates off home--

Mrs. Hikari: Lan, you've been gone for 2 days. So, your gonna have to wash all of these dishes.

--She points to the tall tower of plates--

Lan: No Way! What did you guys do, have a party or something?!

--A new NetSaver mission has come up, and everyone is preparing for the big day tomorrow. What would NeoGrave do with such a rare program? Are they planning on building an Ultimate NetNavi to rival MegaMan and ProtoMan? Find out what happens to our heroes in the next episode of MegaMan NeoStar!--
