--Lan and the gang have gathered together because of Lan's big news--

Lan: Hey, guys! Did you here? Higsby is having a huge sale today.
Dex: A sale? Alright! Maybe he is selling a rare BattleChip or 3!
Tory: Aww, man. I wish I could see it. But...I have a lot of things to do at home.
Maylu: I've got piano practice today.
Telsia: Sounds interesting. I don't think I have met Higsby yet, save for his announcing at the Cyber Tournament.
Brandon: I might go later.
Telsia: Hey, Lan. I'll probably check it out later. Keifer wanted to talk to me about my transfer.
Lan: Oh, okay. Well, c'mon Dex.
Dex: You got it, Lan! I am gonna get a super awesome chip so GutsMan and I can finally beat you!
Lan: Not a chance, Dex.

--The two then run off to Higsby's--

Higsby: Well, welcome, Lan and Dex.
Shuko: Oh, hey guys.
Higsby: You guys here for the sale?
Lan: You bet.
Dex: I need a Meteor18!
Higsby: Of course. That'll be 300 Zenny. Oh, and if you buy 10 chips today, you get a real surprise.
Lan/Dex: Wow! Really?!

--Lan begins searching for chips he wants with Dex right behind him--

Dex: Hold up, you're not gonna get it before I do.

--10 minutes later--

Higsby: Well, boys. Your totals both come up as 3000 Zenny.
Lan: Fine. Now, what's the surprise?
Dex: Yeah, tell us.
Shuko: I guess you can't keep them waiting.
Higsby: Come this way.

--Higsby leads them to the storage room's door in the back--

Higsby: May I see your PETs?
MegaMan: This seems suspicious.
Lan: Does this have to do with the surprise?

--Lan and Dex hand their PETs to Higsby and he opens the door--

--They walk in the room to find Higsby and Shuko tied up--

FHigsby: Suckers!

--He then shuts the door and locks them in--

Dex: Lan! What just happened? How could Higsby and Shuko be out there if there in here?
Lan: -Slams fist on door- We've been tricked! Those are copyroids, just like the one I fought in Netopia. But now, they've got MegaMan and GutsMan.
Dex: Hey! Let's untie these 2 first, and then worry.

--They untie the real Shuko and Higsby--

Higsby: Oh, Lan! I'm so glad your here! They had us locked up since last night.
Shuko: um...do you guys have anything to eat or drink?
Lan: Not with us. We're gonna bust this door open. Right, Dex?
Dex: How do you plan on that?
Lan: We all hit the door at the same time.

--Meanwhile, Brandon was making his way to the shop, guided by Maylu, unaware of what's happened--

Maylu: What's that sound?
Brandon: I'll check. ChaosBlade. Do a search around the area.
ChaosBlade: Okay. -searches- Hm...interesting. There are people within a storage room, over there.
Maylu: That's the shop.
Brandon: Go around back and see if you can find something.
Maylu: Alright. Be careful.

--Brandon walks in the shop and finds no one in there, but still hears the pounding--

Lan: I think I hear something. -bangs harder-
Dex: Err...what should we do, then? Because...what if it's Them??
Lan: If it's them, we can get our PETs back.
Higsby: That's the spirit. You can do it.

--In the shop--

Brandon: The pounding stopped for a bit, and then started back up again.
ChaosBlade: After analyzing the door, I found it to be unbreakable...but there is a jack-in port.
Brandon: I think I hear Lan from inside. You know what to do. Jack-in, ChaosBlade. Power up!
FHigsby/FShuko: HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
FHigsby: This isn't the place for customers.
Brandon: And since when did I have to listen to you? It's kinda obvious that you aren't them.
FHigsby: UGH, I'M GOING TO DELETE YOUR NAVI! Shuko! Take care of the girl.

--The Fake Higsby then dematerializes and enters the net as CopyNumberMan with an Evil Navi by his side--

CNumberMan: You won't take another step, NetNavi.
Evil Navi: The NeoGrave has come to take MegaMan and delete anyone in our way.
ChaosBlade: Try me, you pitiful navis.
Brandon: Eh? We're in your way?...and what's NeoGrave?
CNumberMan: NumberBall!

--NumberBalls roll towards ChaosBlade at full power--

ChaosBlade: SwordProg! -creates a sword, slashes the NumberBalls, and backs away quickly-
CNumberMan: Well, since you've never heard of us let's clue you in. NumberTrap!

--A Giant eraser falls upon ChaosBlade--

ChaosBlade: I don't think attacking me is going to help you explain...Soul of the Chaos, activate!
CNumberMan: He can transform too!? DoomDice!
ChaosBlade: Exactly, what do you mean by transform? This isn't a transformation. It's releasing one of my sealed forms! Chaos Attack - RAIN OF FIRE!

--Both evil navis are forced to logout--

Brandon: Open the door.
ChaosBlade: Of course. But, talk about boring.
Suddenly, Dex's PET appears out of nowhere on the ground. Brandon opens the door
Lan: Brandon, you saved us.
Brandon: eh...? from what...and is that PET any of yours?
Dex: Yeah, its mine. GutsMan! You're okay.
Lan: Hey! Where's mine?
Brandon: How should I know?
Lan: Wait, where'd the copyroids go?
Brandon: oh, I only saw one...that looked like him points to Higsby Well...is anyone going to explain who the hell NeoGrave is and those guys are and crap?
Lan: Well… -Lan tells of the events from episode 1 until now-
Shuko: Okay, but there was a copy of me, too.
Maylu: Over here, guys. Roll's got this taken care of.
Roll: Of course. I won't lose while MegaMan is in trouble. RollBlast!
CSpoutMan: -direct hit- ugh... How can she be so strong?
Roll: I'm strong because I'm fighting to save somebody. RollArrow!

--Roll's determination creates a giant arrow, causing both CSpoutMan and his evil navi to logout--

--Just like before, a PET is left behind. This time, its Lan's--

Lan: Maylu! You did it!
MegaMan: I told you, but you didn't listen.
Maylu: Lan, look! They're back!
CNumberMan: We tried to do this the easy way...
CSpoutMan: But, it looks like we'll have to take you by force!
Lan: -calls on PET- Mr. Famous!
Famous: Just Famous, Lan! Activate Dimensional Generator!

--The generator appears around the gang--

MegaMan: Let's show them our power.
Lan: You got it, MegaMan. SynchroChip in, download! CrossFusion!
Evil Navi 1: There's only 1 of you and 4 of us. What can you do?
Brandon: -After seeing Lan CrossFuse- eh...I've seen something similar to that in my country, but it's now part of the PET, not a chip. -presses button and CrossFuses- Can't you count? There's two of us. Soul of Law, activate!
Evil Navi 2: There can be dozens of you, but it won't make a difference.
Lan: We'll just see about that, now won't we? GutsSoul, NaviChip in!
Evil Navis: Dark Cannon!
Brandon: Law - Shield of Pacifism!

--The shield reflects the cannons and sends the evil navis blasting off--

Lan: Now, it's my turn! GutsHammer!

--The shockwave from the GutsHammer heads towards CSpoutMan, but he counters with an AquaTower--

CSpoutMan: C'mon, Lan. You wouldn't attack your friend's navi.
Lan: You're not him, and that's because you don't have his soul. --transforms into SpoutSoul-- Bubbler, BattleChip in. Triple Download! Program Advance, Bubble Spread!

--Brandon walks closer to the Copies and disables Law--

Lan: What're you doing? If you get to close, you'll get hit, too!
Brandon: Hmph.

--Brandon lifts a hand and disrupts the copies' data. He then pulls out two sword programs with a poison program attached--

Brandon: Now, Lan!
Lan: Okay! Full Charge!

--Lan fires the Bubble Spread at CSpoutMan. With SpoutSoul's extra water power, the blast deletes him--

Brandon: Now, for you. -slashes CNumberMan's arm off, weakening him greatly-
CNumberMan: You'll pay. The master will see to it!

--CNumberMan, logging out--

--The Dimensional Area disappears--

Lan: Great job, Brandon… -looks to see that he's leaving- Where are you going?
Brandon: Home. Where else?
Dex: Lan, you rocked!
Maylu: I would've helped, but I left Rush at home.
Higsby: Boys, let me see those chips you got today.
Dex: Sure.
Lan: Here.
Higsby: -Looks at the chips- You can keep one. But the rest stay. These are my rarest BattleChips!
Dex: No way!
Lan: You gotta be kidding me!
Shuko: Things never change.
Maylu: Nope, not at all.

--Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the net, CNumberMan is confronted by Kid Grave's voice--

Kid Grave: You fail me, and dare come back?
CNumberMan: Wait, let me explain!
Kid Grave: You know the penalty for failure. –presses a button and deletes CNumberMan- Now, I leave my next plan to you, my 3 highest copyroids. -cuts communication-
?: Well, I guess its time for us to be known.
?: Yeah, and won't they be surprised to see us again.

--The copyroids keep coming in all shapes and sizes. But, now, a horrible new turn of events has arisen…copyroids can take the form of not only other NetNavis, but of their operators as well! And, what is Kid Grave's next plan? Don't miss the next episode of MegaMan NeoStar!--
