Chapter Three: Shadows Revealed

As Cyril and Kilo were talking, they failed to see the red cloaked navi watching them.

"Kilo, where're you from anyways? Or did you answer already?" Cyril asked her yellow armored navi.

"I have lived in many places in the net. But my favourite place was Internet City when everyone was home. It was so quiet and peaceful." She said.

Eww, Kilo, you disgust me! Thought Dark-Copy.

"That sounds nice. I'm not a navi, so I'll just trust your opinion." Replied her operator. "One last question. Why do you look so human-like?"

Kilo replied with pride in her voice, "I was programmed by Hiroch Mei. I am not sure why, but she said I was special, not because of my abilities, but because of something else. I cannot remember everything she told me."

"Hiroch Mei is my grandmother! She worked with Hikari Tadashi at one point in her life, creating a new type of navi. Maybe you are that special program!" Cyril said with excitement in her voice.

"HA! KILO, YOU MAKE ME LAUGH. YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A WEAKLING LIKE DARK-X! I CANNOT SEE HOW YOU CAN BE THE 'REVIVER'! YOU ARE NOTHING, DO YOU HEAR?" Said the red cloaked navi out loud. He appeared before the shocked Kilo.

"Dark-Copy, you know nothing but lies told to you by Shadow and his navi. He has been keeping secrets from you, idiot! Why do you think he's trying to delete me?" Kilo yelled at Dark-Copy.

"Wait a second, you two know each other?" A confused Cyril asked.

"Long story, explain later! Gotta whip this guy's butt now!" Kilo yelled.

"Okay, Battle Chips, Sword, WideSword, LongSword, slot in!" Shouted Cyril. The DreamSword Program Advance activated without problems, and Dark-Copy was deleted instantly. "Now, Kilo, you have some explaining to do."

"I was a member of a net criminal group called the Rebellion. I was only a healer, nothing else. I ran away, and Dark-X, my master, tried deleting me. But you saved me, and that was when we met. Please don't turn me in or throw me away. Joining them was my only way of survival." Kilo started crying.

"Don't worry, I don't care if you where part of WWW, I would still have you as my navi." Cyril said softly.

Kilo was shocked, but then she replied softly and slowly, "Thank you. I always thought all humans where the same, but you proved me wrong. Thank you, my friend. I will always be at your side, to defend you. We are one, and no one can change that."

At the Rebellion Base…

"Dark-Copy, you where as useless as Dark-X. My navi, you must destroy those two, as well as Injuuin Enzan, Blues, Hikari Netto, and Rockman." Said a man in the shadows.

"But Sir, why don't you send your next in line, Leif Emerald? I'm sure he will be successful." Said his navi.

"I believe you have a point, Knight. Go get him ready to attack in the morning." Said Sir.

"Yes, Sir-Sama." Knight said. Then he disappeared from his black PET.
