Chapter 3
By: blues-lover
After school that day the group had decided to go to the arcade to have a Netbattle or two. They all wanted to see how good Mel was.
"So who wants to go first," Mel asked cracking her knuckles.
"I will," Meriu said disappointing both Netto and Dekao who both wanted to go first.
"Okay plug-in Flow.EXE, transmission," Mel exclaimed.
"You too, plug-in Roll.EXE, transmission," Meriu said.
Two infra red beams shot from the PET's and two navis appeared in the small battling arena.
"Are you ready," Flow asked smiling.
"As ready as I'll ever be," Roll said smiling back at the cat like navi.
The words battle start appeared above their heads and Flow immediately charged at her opponent full speed. "Let's start with your Cat Claw," Mel said from above. Suddenly the claws on Flow's right paw began to glow and lengthen until they were about five inches long and had the appearance of silver knives. Flow held her arm back and slashed Roll with her extremely long claws. Roll got up from the ground panting. This girl could really pack a punch.
"Are you okay Roll," Meriu asked worriedly.
"Yeah but she's strong," the pink clad navi said rubbing her arm.
"Okay then let's try this. Aqua tower battle chip slot-in," the pink haired girl exclaimed.
Roll slammed her hand on the ground and a large shot of water erupted from the ground going right for the pink and black cat. Flow smiled and gracefully spun out of the way. "Is that all you've got," Flow asked playfully.
"I'm just getting started. Roll blast," Roll shot back as she sent a bunch of hearts flying at Flow who didn't move.
"Ha, now we got her," Meriu said excitedly.
"Don't be so sure," Mel said smirking. All of the sudden there was a deafening rumbling sound. Roll covered her receptors. The sound was getting louder. Then Roll felt a sharp pain in her side and was knocked to the ground. Her attack had come back at her! The words game over appeared above their heads.
"You okay," Flow asked offering Roll her paw.
"Yeah, but what was that attack you used," Roll asked accepting Flow's offer and was pulled to her feet.
"Oh that. That's my Flow Purr. It distracts my opponent and sends out a magnetic pulse that sends their own attack back at them," Flow said proudly.
"Wow that's cool," Meriu said in awe, "Good battle. You beat me fair and square."
"Thanks you too," Mel said giving her a thumbs up, "So who's next."
"Me," Netto said jumping up and down.
"Okay then lets go," Mel said getting ready. All of the sudden her PET beeped. She read the e-mail that had appeared on the screen and sighed.
"I've got to go sorry. Mabey we can try again tomorrow," Mel said disappointedly.
"Awww," Netto whined but then his PET beeped and he read the e-mail that had appeared on the screen, "Well it looks like I have to go too."
They all said their good byes and Netto skated off towards Net saver HQ. The message he received had something about a new Net saver from America. He reached HQ to see that Enzan was already there. Dr.Hikari was typing away on his computer. Netto scratched his head, "So where's the newbe," he asked bluntly catching everyone's attention.
"She's not here yet," Enzan said in a well-duh tone.
"Do you know anything about her," Netto asked hopefully.
"Only that she's a girl from America," the dual haired boy replied.
"Hey that's cool. There's a new girl from America in my class," Netto said wondering. The door opened.
"Oh good Melanie you're here," Dr.Hikari said standing up.
"Mel you're the new Net saver," the brown-eyed boy astonished.
"Surprise," Mel said sheepishly.
A/N: There you are. I new chapter. I had to make Mel a Net saver or else there wouldn't be that many opportunities for Enzan and Mel to see each other. Plus I really like Enzan so he is defiantly gonna have a bigger part from this point on. Review for more.
