A/N: I don't know any music from this time period, so I'm using current bands like Linkin Park for music references. Also, just because I mention the Navis in order "Inferno, Blade Man, Ran and Leviathon" does not mean Inferno is the main Navi. It just sounds better.
"Pyro Cyclone!" Inferno called, as he put his palm on the ground and concentrated. The nearby Navi, Blade Man, was surrounded by a swirling vortex of fire. Inferno's long, smoke grey hair fell back as he was raising himself up from using his attack. The suit part of his armor was the same color of yellow that most people associate with fire or the sun. His hands, feet, and helmet were the same orange that people also associate with fire. His eyes were a bright red, and the rest of his face was covered in a visor of the same color. On his chest and hands was a capital "I" that appeared to be made of fire as his Navi symbol.
His opponent, Blade Man, was also cool. The suit part of him was black with light blue vertical stripes on the sides of the legs. His helmet had two Bass-like points on the corners, only without the vurve at the back of the points. These points were black, and the middle of his helmet was a dark blue with a horn in the middle. This curved horn was blue on the right and left, with a black stripe in the middle that had triangle points on both sides. His blue eyes were covered with light blue sunglasses coming from his helmet. His left arm, which is normally the same blue as part of his helmet, was now a light blue sword. His left arm held a shield that appeared small, just barely covering the top of his arm, but could also get big enough to cover him from the front. His feet were also blue, but had a lighter shade of blue where toes would be inside a human shoe. On his chest, the hilt of his sword, and on his shield, was a picture of a diamond with two swords cutting through it in an X pattern. Blademan simply jumped at Inferno, going over the fire surrounding him, and began to use his signature move.
"I don't think so. Fire sword. Battle Chip in. Download." Inferno's Operator, a 15 year old boy with neck length dirty-blonde hair and blueish grey eyes, Joey Nash, loaded one of his favorite chips into his customized PET. Back in the Net, Inferno's right arm became the Fire Sword and began to block as Blade Man used his move. "Raging Blades." Blade Man shouted, starting a fast 100 strike attack. He was moving in a traingular pattern around Inferno, trying to get a hit in. Inferno began blocking with his Fire Sword, looking for an opening to stop the attack but failing to find one as he kept having to turn around to block. After the hundreth strike, Blade Man jumped backwards, and began charging at full speed. Inferno used his own signature move on himself, and Blade Man was forced to stop or risk going through the Pyro Cyclone. Outside, another 15 year old with messy brown hair almost as long Joey's and with greenish brown eyes loaded his own chip. Chris Stokes, the operator, grinned. "Long Sword. Battle Chip in. Download." Blade Man's sword arm became twice as long, and he quickly sliced through the cyclone to hit... nothing? Next thing he knew, Inferno had his left fist behind his head. "Damn you and your Fire Teleportaion, Inferno." Blade Man cursed. Next, they heard the familiar voice of the one who always ruined the fun of Lunch Time Net Battles. Chris and Joey's friend, Alia Brooks, and her Navi, Leviathon.
Leviathon is a healing navi with hair that is mostly purple with white tipped hairs, purple eyes, she has half purple and white breast plate, bottom white and top purple, purple gloves with white tips, her boots were white, her weapon is a silver trident with gold prongs. Her symbol is a trident in a circle on the back of her suit. "You boys and your Net Ops do remember that Net Battles are forbidden during school hours at ACDC High, right?" She scolded them, preventing Inferno from finishing the battle, or Blade Man from countering. Alia is a purple eyed blonde with long hair. She was wearing a hot pink tank top with a denim skirt. Joey was wearing slightly baggy jeans and a black baggy shirt with a flaming skull on the top. On top of the skull were flaming letters that said "Flaming Hot". Chris is wearing a black shirt that had white lettering saying "How may I annoy you today?" underlined in red. Over this shirt was a blue jacket that was unzipped so you could see the writing on the shirt, the hood of the jacket behind his neck. "Alia, why'd you have to stop the fight? It was awesome to watch." Their other friend, Anthony Brock, inquired. "Leviathon just told the Navis why. We're going to get in trouble for this shit." "Why'd you even name her Leviathon?" Joey asked, still wondering that. "I thought it was a cool name." Alia pouted. Anthony, a skinny dude with messy, curly black hair, brown eyes, glasses, and a black shirt with black pants, white shoes opposing the rest of the clothes. His shirt had dark blue writing saying "Net Battling Rules!" on it. He was frowning at the blackboard, which showed four Navis in the blackboard computer. Inferno, Blade Man, Leviathon, and his Navi watching from the background.
Neo Man, who prefered to be called Ran, was an aqua Navi. In all honesty, he should've been the one who held the name Leviathon for his water element. Ran's suit was ocean blue, while the armor on his chest, hands, and feet was grey. His hands looked like gauntlets, and he appeared to be wearing a grey belt. His chest plate looked more like a vest than anything else, and his eyes were pure oecean blue. Ran's helmet was a simple round helmet with a fin-like spike on top. His chest sported his Navi Symbol of a simple water current. Not much to describe.
You'd think these people wouldn't be hanging out, and some of them are even opposite their own Navis. Alia worries too much, but she worries about important things. She's always trying to keep everyone in the group out of trouble. Her Navi, Leviathon, was similar when it came to her fellow Navis, but she wasn't as direct as her Net Op, and she didn't like swearing at all. Anthony doesn't really care about anything except Net Battles, and Ran's always telling him how smart he'd seem if he actually used his brain. In short, Anthony is a slacker but a hacker and his Navi tries to teach Anthony responsibility. Chris complains alot about small things like video games and other crap. He won't stop complaining if something of his is damaged, but if something changes the world, in a good or bad way, he doesn't give a damn. Blade Man was really confident but liked to keep track of other Navis over the net to see who's worth fighting; despite Chris's arguments that such searches are a waste of time. Joey knows what to care about, and there isn't a lot to care about. He has the best classroom memory, and almost never studies. He makes straight As without studying much, except in English. The most boring class in the world. Because Joe doesn't care about that much, he tends to agree with whatever the rest of the group does. Joey also enjoys joking around and playfully insulting everyone. Inferno doesn't like anyone, and only cooperates with Joey's orders. His hobbey is training in a special program in Joe's PET that creates viruses harmless to the PET. Inferno's record for the coarse is 0:00:08 on the first level, and an average increase of about 3 seconds each level. This is only rivaled by Chris's PET, which has its own program that creates a weakened copy of any Navi Blade Man has ever fought, with the fighting style of the Navi being copied. He prefers the real Inferno, and almost never copies him.
Next period, during Math Class, Chris was asleep in the back, as usual. Anthony was using his messy hair to hide Joey's mp3 player and headphones, listening to Linkin Park. Joey was making fun of the local smart-ass coward Chad, and Alia was actually taking notes. She hated parabolas, but took notes on it anway. Anthony turned down the volume to ask Joey a question. "Are we still stopping by Doctor Hikari's place after this?" he asked. Joey doesn't know why they ask him these questions. "Do I look like a leader to you? Make your own fucking decisions." Anthony shrugged. He put his head on his arms and fell asleep, dreaming a memory of how the group came to be. It was either that or dreaning about the many tests that caused him to fail tenth grade last year. English sucks.
Anthony was sitting alone next to the window on a plane heading to Electopia from America. He was going to start sixth grade in his new home, and he didn't really like it. Across the aisle, a young boy a year younger than him was talking to his Net Navi. "Inferno, you need to learn to lighten up. Your strict lifestyle is going to get you in trouble one day with the wrong Navi when you say something stupid about how teamwork sucks." Behind this kid, another boy was about to join this conversation. "He's right. Especially when your opponent is as good as Blade Man." "Who the hell is Blade Man?" Inferno and the first kid asked. "My badass Navi. He and I work great together." "Is that a challenge?" Anthony interupted. "Ran, I think we may have a battle soon." Anthony told his Navi. "Hi. I'm Anthony. I'm just moving to Electopia." "I'm Joey. Same here." "Whoa! Aint that a coinquidink. I'm Chris, and I'm moving there as well." Joe pulled out a small mp3 player and put the headphones on. "Any of you guys listen to Linkin Park?" he asked, playing "Forgotten." "They're only my favorite band." Anthony responded.
Eventually they met Alia in school, and since then they've all been friends. They are known as the four best Net Battlers in the school, mostly for Inferno, Blade Man, and Ran's skills. Leviathon also has skills, but she's mostly a group aid, sort of a healing Navi. Anthony woke to the Math teacher yelling for him to wake up.
After school, they started walking towards Doctor Hikari's house. He's the one who had programmed the special training programs into the PETs as a favor. Anthony's PET has a program where Ran can fight copies of himself, slightly altered if he wishes. Alia just decided to go without it. They knew Lan because they had asked the Mayor's brother, Chisau, for some Net Battling help and he'd suggested the Mayor, who reluctantly suggested Lan. When they got there today, the house was empty. Even Maylu wasn't home. "Maybe their on vacation, if you know what I mean." Anthony made one of his perverted jokes, getting a laugh from the rest of the group.
In the computer in the living room, Chaos Man was watching. "Damn it, they're not here. I brought my entire army of corrupt Navis here for nothing. Now I have to wait." The entire army groaned. They wanted to see Mega Man deleted. Megaman's PET was sitting next to the computer, since Mega Man was in a Copy Bot. Chaos Man managed to hack into it, and send a few Navis into the appliances. Shadow Man was sent into the refridgerator, the AC system was inhabited by Magnet Man, Flash Man was in the TV, and Shade Man was in the microwave. Chaos Man stayed in the computer, and told the rest of his army to stay there for back up. Mega Man was getting deleted one way or another. he was the only threat so far to Chaos Man's plans.
