6. Relations of the Past

For for keeping all you fans waiting. School drags on and writer's blocks come and go. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

-Relations of the Past-

Old man Wily gave a out a heavy sigh. He dreaded every word that was written in the e-mail that had just arrived.

Dear Father,

I have done all I can with your grand plans, from which I fully understand. The network that you were force to build has indeed become corrupt. Your robots were the true future of this ignorant world. I also made sure that your grandson also took part of your mission. It took at least 5-years to make him share the same anger that you and I are feeling right now, but it was worth it; I also took the measurement of the possibility that he would betray us.

I made the boy used a method of producing a replica of the SoloNavi, Bass, for you Alpha plan. It required great work and finance to achieve this, but I made sure to keep both of our groups to seem to be involved.

This world will be soon yours for you to mold.

-Regal-

Wily's official second in command, Colonel Baryl just entered the dark room to give his report.

"From a detail search, sir, it shows that Regal has indeed hacked into our systems and went into all of our plans for Alpha. Right to last detail."

"Including the part that involve Bass," said the old man, "Tell me, do you have the report of the members of Gospel I'd requested?"

"Yes. Currently, Princess Pride, Dave, and Gauss are in jail. Dusk is still on the lamb; while it turns out that Arashi is in the hospital for minor injures from that Metro-Line Bombing."

"What about Obihiro?"

"I couldn't find any details so far, sir."

"Regal used him for this, I know he did…. Continue the research!"

Baryl gave a salute and walked out, praying that Sean hadn't committed a too serious of a crime.

Wily opened up two old files that he had on his computer. One was open not too long ago, for the sake of the second effort of the LifeVirus. Wily regretted to use his son-in-law's navi design for his own advantage. He found the remains of that navi in the Undernet. It was a miracle that anything of him would have been salvage after that climactic battle years ago…

The other file was dear to his heart. For it was the blueprints to a Navi that his daughter, Tron Wily, made at least five years ago.

The names of the navies were…….. Zero and Iris.

000

5 years ago, Electopia Airport…

"Mrs. Obihiro," greeted the bright-shaded-brunette haired girl navi with in her PET, "The line is connected to home."

"Thanks, Iris," said the brown haired NetOp with a big, crescent-like ponytail.

After several rings, the image of a brown hair, green eyed, five year old boy appeared on screen.

"Hi, Mom. I miss you. Did you got me anything?"

"Hello Sean, I miss you too. How's everything on the home front?"

Sean gave a cheery soldier's salute to his commander and chief. "Me and Colonel Uncle have been stationed at home-base and all is well, Madam President of Obihiro-Land."

"Good job, solider."

A man then walk up behind the woman, asking her, "Why is it that you're always the President while I'm the First Man, Madam President Tron?"

Tron turn up and smiled at her husband, "Sean knows who's in charge of whom, First Man Volnutt."

Sean's father, Volnutt, has spiky, brunet hair then turn behind him, where both his and Tron's friends approaching them. With the old acquaintances were two small boys. One was 7 years old with black hair with an additional white 'eggshell' top; he was holding his mother's hand. The other boy was 6 year old boy with brown hair and an interesting choice of blue clothing, was ridding piggy-back on his father.

"Hi Dad. I miss you. Did you get me anything?" greeted Sean as he saw his father.

Volnutt chuckled at Sean's cuteness, "You'll see when we get back, Sean. I love you."

"Same here, Sweetie." Tron added.

"Bye! Love you. Colonel Uncle wants to talk to you but he's out to get burgers." And with that, the screen went blank.

"It such a shame," sighed Tron, "Sean got sick before we left and had to stay home with his uncle. I so wanted him to meet all you guys and your kids too."

"From what you said," Stated the 7-year old's mother, "he's a little prodigy like little Cossack Junior here." She smiled proudly at her son.

"Mother, I wanted to be called 'Chaud!' Besides, my first name is Eugene. Why do you call me by my middle name?"

"Because that Cold-Hearted jerk of a father of yours insisted of naming you after his father and not mine, based on his opinion that my father was a criminal because he went underground when he was to be question of the infamous Alpha incident."

Tron gave a small hugged to her friend, "I'm really going to miss, Kalinka."

"Same here, Tron."

Volnutt make a gun hand jester at 6 year old boy, "Keep up the virus busting, Lan. Keep that Navi of yours sharp."

"I sure will, Uncle Vol." said Lan with much vigor.

"Only when keep your grades up." Butted in Lan's father.

"Ohhhh, Dad." The boy moaned

"Thanks for taking us to airport." Said Tron to all in company.

"Yea; and that 11 minute delay for our 9 O'clock flight managed us to savor this moment a bit little more." Said Volnutt.

"Yep," Tron smiled heavenly, "The research team that built the second generation of NetNavis just has to stick together for a better tomorrow, Especial when they're rising their own second generation."

"Hard to believe all that happened five years ago." reminisced Kalinka , "You and Volnutt tied the knot and had a little bundle of joy in one year after meeting each other on the project."

The group of friends enjoyed their final moments together before Tron and Volnutt went on aboard their plane. Both parents were a bit anxious about returning home and their child, mostly Tron,

"Oh… I hope Sean likes our present."

Volnutt open one eye from his slumber, "Of course he will, dear. I think he'll love the Navi parts. He always wants to build something."

"I guess I just really want see him happy when we come back. Being so far apart, I really miss him."

"Same here. The last two weeks were grueling."

"You were thinking about Sean the whole time too?"

"That and more. I want be there when Sean needs us the most. I just want him raised right."

"Oh, Volnutt."

"Tron…"

Volnutt put his hand over Tron's and the two move in closer to kiss each other. Closer and closer they came-

BRRREEEEE-DUM! BREEEEEEE-DUM! Went the planes engines as they went on and off. The turbulence caused by this made Tron plop out her seat and fall on Volnutt, who grunted with great pain.

"What happening?" Tron stated.

"Uh… Honey, sweetheart, you're kinda crushing me."

"Opps… sorry, dear." Tron got off her husband and back into her seat. From the window, she checked the plane's wing. "Looks like the engines are still running."

But knowing that didn't rid the eerie feeling that everyone felt on board.

"I'll go see what's going on in the cockpit." Said Volnutt as he got out of seat and move to the head of the ship.

"Excuse me," he said after he tapped the door. No answer. Volnutt reached for the door handle, and found out that it was searing hot. After letting his hand cool down after the first the try, Volnutt quickly opened the door.

Smoke was pouring out of the cockpit, with the captain and copilot both were pass out on the floor. He turned to the passengers and shouted.

"I need help here!"

One of the flight attendants came with a fire-extinguisher while Volnutt and another man help to bring to the two people who were supposed to be flying the plane. When the smoke settled down, it appeared that the main control panic to plane had exploded.

"What's going on?"

"Who's flying the plane?"

"How IS it flying anyway?"

The plane was seemed working. Speed and altitude seem to be functioning all fine. Tron looked pretty determined.

"Time to find out! No one keeps me from coming back to my darling baby boy! Ready, Iris?"

"Well…"

"Okay then, let's go! Jack In, Iris Power-Up!" Tron pulled out the Wire Jack from her PET and plugged it into the built-in computer of seat.

In the airplane's cyber-space, a beam of light appeared in the sky and land on the ground, where it transformed into a long, light, brown haired girl with butterfly hair clips in a purple and white dress. This was Iris, a second generation of NetNavis. The Second Generation had human-likeness over the First's robotic form. Tron's face appeared on the vid-screen in front of brunette Navi.

"Iris, do you see anyway into the plane's comp-sever. The controls to it maybe destroyed, but since we're still flying, so that must means that the sever is still online. My reads shows that it's deadhead of you. Good luck."

"I'll do my best, Mrs. Obihiro."

Iris then ran as fast her legs will process her. She came across the link that lead the passenger part of the plane-sever to the cockpit. A soon she reached it, Iris saw a familiar looking Navi with a real long blonde hair in red and white armor standing over two baldy damage Navis with the Aero-Company's uniforms.

"Zero? Did Mr. Obihiro jack you in to investigate too?"

Peering through a highly concealing helmet with a face mask, Zero's glowing yellow eyes look down at Iris, "Yes, when I jacked in, I found the pilots' Navis here. Before shutting down, they said that a Navi appeared out of nowhere and hacked himself into the plane's entire programming."

"Do you think it was done by those Illegal Navis? The ones with the outlawed customizations that are sold on the Dark Market."

"Looks like that way."

"So we're dealing with… terrorists?" Tron shuddered with fear. "The ones who kill innocent people in cold blood to get a point across?"

Just then, every monitor on board the plane displayed a face of a dark and morbid theme robotic navi.

"Attention, humans. You are the first to witness the Power of the Cyber-Beasts. Though the two beasts are forever trap underground, battling for all of eternity with each other. We have mange to recreate their power in a form of one NetNavi. It will soon destroy all of you as demonstration to the world. Farewell…"

Tron's worried face then turned determined.

"I'll try to keep everyone calm. Zero, can you handle a little bit on your own?"

Iris had doubts, "Do you think that is wise? We have no idea how powerful that Navi could be."

"Iris, I'll be fine. My entire model was built for combat against those Illegal Navis. But still… Peoples live are at stake here, and if I botched it… Okay Iris here's the plan: The lock to the Cockpit's computer can only be by licensed airline navis and those with a SSS- License, which I have. After I go in, I want you to try to alter the locks to allow any volunteer Navi to came and help. "

"But we need to keep the people from panicking," added Volnutt. "The last thing we need is to be frantic."

"I'm not frantic. Who says I'm being frantic? Where is he? I'll punch his living daylights out of him!" said Tron at a rapid rate.

"Please, dear. Deep breathes."

"Sorry."

"I'm sorry sir," said Zero, "But my calculations say that we'll have a higher success rate if we have help rather to keeping a calm scene on the plane."
"I'm not risking it, Zero."
Iris step into the conversation, "We have no choice, Volnutt. Everyone on board already knows that the pilots are out."

"Well…" pondered Volnutt for a moment, "Okay, get some good fighters."

"Roger!" said the girl navi and her operator in union.

"Okay, here we go," said Volnutt as Zero ran pass the barrier to the cockpit.

As the red and white armored warrior walk down the narrow corridor, he noticed something disturbing about the walls and floors. Volnutt checked in on his navi's lack of pace.

"What is it Zero?"

"The entire cyberspace… it's deteriorating. And it's getting worse in the direction of the cockpit."

"Hmmm… Maybe it's not a navi after all…" he muttered to himself. "Continue to precede, Zero."
Zero continued, taking up precaution of crumbling fragments, and he finally reached the main computer server onboard the plane. He saw the perpetrator dead ahead. A normal-type navi with dark and gray rock like armor stood still with his back to Zero. The under its boots was the same as the rocks as the navi's armor, growing like some kind of fungus all over the floor of the cyber-realm

"CoMSume aNd dEstROY datA.. Gagago," it said with a garbled voice, "… test oF bUG-fUSion coMmEnCE: aLL gO! GA-gLReP-gOO!" It turn it's head to reveal that it's entire visor was glowing yellow.

"They're targeting this plane as a test of their weapon?" said Volnutt in outrage, "As the developer of Battle Chips, I can not allow this! Let's go Zero! Battle Routine: SET!"
"This bug is going down! EXECUTE!"

"aLL YoUR BasE BelONG tO uS!" said the Navi.

Zero started to charge head on to his opponent, unsheathing his built-in-sword ready to strike. The Bug Navi was prepare to receive and counter attack as Zero was in striking range when

"Area Steal, Battle-Chip In: Download!"

Zero vanished and left the glitched Navi in awe. He reappeared behind his opponent and Zero slashed him right down the middle. The two pieces of the navi drop to the floor, but the pieces then 'stretched' to each other to become whole again. The Navi got on its feet and it right armed turned into a 2-ton mega-cannon preparing a mega-blast. Zero leapt out of the way of the blast, which rocked the entire plane.

000

"What was that?"

"What's going on?"

"Everyone, please," said Tron in front of everyone. "I know things are bad, but panicking is something we can't afford right now. The systems have been hack and we need to deal with this a decent manner. A SSS Official is taking care of problem right now, but he may need some assistance, just wait a little longer and things will be okay."

000

"Zero!" said Volnutt, "What happened? The entire plane just shook!"

"The enemy's weapon is powerful. It's like it has practically no limitations in Recovery and Offense."

"Send me the battle data and I'll try to think of something."

Zero continued with the battle. He fired a High Cannon and blast a hole into the Bug Navi, but it was quickly regenerated

The long-haired blond Navi then charge forward using a LongSword, while quickly evaded the Navi's Bug-Frag-Sword, leaving a deep and long gash from side to side on its head. But that too healed up with little effect of damage.

"Okay, it looks like it's some sort of Multi-Bug Navi. It's made out corrupt data and glitches that was broken down and fused together."

Zero was firing a Vulcun3 to keep the Navi at bay to converse with his NetOp, "Who would do something like this?"

"Some organization that wants to hack the entire Cyber World, who else. They must have planted it on board the plane as some sort of test."

"So, what do I have to do to make it Fail this test?"
"From the readings, you have to destroy the bug fragment that keeps it under control on it right foot. Once it gone, it should decompile."

"ROGER!" Zero than charged forward.

"All right, here we go! HeroSword, Battle Chip In: Download!"

Everything to Zero seemed to slow down at his Battle Combat Data heightened his performance level. He managed to the strike the desired target with little effort in a half-second. The opponent Navi fall to its knees.

"60 DaMaGE SuSTain. CoMeNINg CouNTer MEaSURes."
The Navi then became a blob that began to stretch and shape out.

"Zero! The Bug-Navi is-"

"I see it!"

The blob solidified into a tall familiar figure… ZERO!
"Impossible," muttered the original, "He copied my battle data by just watching me!"

"I… I…" shuttered Volnutt with fear in his eyes, "I… heard that the Ultimate Program in that Rouge Navi several years ago has the basic functions of Bugs! Could this be a failed attempt to clone Bass?"

"VOLNUTT!"

Coming out of his fears, Volnutt turn back in to see that his Navi was struggling hand-to-hand with his dark doppelganger.

"Invis, Battle Chip In: Download!"

Zero became ethereal and leapt away a great distance from his enemy, onto a ledge on the wall.

"First he was soft like water and now he's as solid as a rock," remarked the Red Warrior.

"Spontaneous adaptation when face with damage, that mean his entire battle technique and his weakness has- ZERO LOOK OUT!"

An elongated stone hand sped towards the cyber-swordsman, grappled firmly onto his face, and with one movement of his rubbery, yet rock strong arm, the BugZero force his normal counterpart down to the ground all the while pushing him against the wall. Zero came down with such force; he created a crater and a cloud of disrupted data. BugZero retract his arm and began to march slowly to his enemy, forming a Bug-Z-Saber in hand.

As the disrupt data began to fade out, Zero barely could stand.

"Recovery 200, Battle Chip In: Down-" And with a movement of his Bug Sword, BugZero caused the screen on Volnutt's PET was instantly filled with static and the words "Connection Lost" flashed in bold red. "Junk it!"

Zero yellow eyes looked up the sharp of the doppelganger of his weapon. The BugNavi then lifted the weapon high over his head. He then garbled, "DeLEte!" And with a swift motion, he swung the sword downward onto his righteous brother. But the attack made no contact, the enemy Navi was paralyzed. Surprised, Zero saw Iris, with a determined glare in her eyes, standing behind the Rogue Navi.

"There will be no 'Deletion' today." She said seriously. And with a gesture of her hand, the Bug Navi flew across the room. Tron's face then appeared on a Vid-Screen and said,
"Good thing Iris has the ability to control any kind data on the net."

Iris then stoop down to Zero, compassion in her eyes, began to heal him by radiating a dim aurora around his body. Fully powered Zero stood up, tall and proud. Soon to join him were a dozen of robotic Navis.

"I take it that this is our army," ask Zero to Iris. He then turned his attention to the Navis. "Okay, listen up, this group has planted this Bug on this plane as a test, disregarding all of life on board. I fought this Bug and its power seems to match to that of Bass. Any one of you want to back off, I won't hold it against you. But if you decide to run away in combat, then you'll be lower than those who created that monstrosity.

"I know that you are all aware of the rules against NetNavi Battles. If they grow too intense, they would disrupt the flow of data and cause consequences in the real world. There are times that these dangerous battles are necessary for safety of the net and its users. This is that time. This Navi I fought is nothing you every seen before, no matter how strong of viruses you encountered. He has powers of that can rival the Navi Bass, who once caused the very net to shudder to under him.

"Things are bad now, and our actions might cause things to be worse. But our NetOps are in a constant threat if that Navi is in charge of the plane. And if we come out victorious in battle, but fail to save those onboard… well, al least they will be dealt with a more dignified ending than that of a hostage of an insane cause."

As Zero was giving his speech to the Navis, Tron was giving her own to the unsettle crowd on the plane.

"Everyone, please, I know things are at their worst know, I don't know what will happen to us. But if we loose ourselves to our fears now, then we'll be wasting our final moments. We must maintain our compassion for one another and retain our self-control. If anyone here has anything to say to their love ones, now is a good time as any."

She then whisper to herself, "Hurry, Iris. I want at least one chance to talk to Sean."

000

"Move out!" ordered Zero to his platoon as BugZero began to slowly approach them.

Two robotic navis, one green and one yellowish green, got in the first line, morphing their arms into Blaster Cannons, and open fire while a green navi stood behind them, using his his-tech scanner to get a full detail reading of BugZero.

"Okay… almost got it… and…. IT'S DONE. His weak-spot is his in the center point on his left shoulder blade!"

Zero continued with orders "Front-Row, stand down. Second Wave, commence now!"

Three burly-size Navis used Area-Steal to get in close and each took hold of BugZero's arms and neck, and then used IronBody to protective themselves while a Dull-yellow sword-theme navi came ran in with his blade ready to strike his ElecSword right through his enemy's shoulder-pad. BugZero then 'hollered' in pain and went limp with its eyes going out.

"It's not over yet. There's still 35 of health to go." Stated the Scanner.

Soon, the three navi's IronBody began to wear off. As soon as this occurred, the Rogue navi's eyes then light up and then it began to struggle free. The Three Tough Navis tried to hold onto their dear compiled data. Their struggle was making the entire plane rumble. But their efforts were futile as BugZero began to infect them. Panicking, the two navis who restrained BugZero's arms let go and stumbled back. The one Navi that held a tight headlock on BugZero meet an untimely demise as he was absorb into the Glitched Navi.
The scanner navi began to shudder, "He's health… is now at 85"

"Second Wave, Fall Back."

The SwordNavi jump back while the remaining Burly RobotNavis sat traumatized by the third's demise.

"I said Fall Back!" Zero ordered to them.

The two got up and leapt back to where the main group was at. The scanner was constantly changing the on settings on his visor.
"Looks like he's blocking his weak spot from any kind of scans whatsoever. It will be like looking for a 2 in the middle of a Binary Code."

"We have little options now. Those who are best at close range combat, active a barrier and go in and slice through him, go at different angles to get lucky with a hit and not get hit. Then get out of clear the way for those who are better at long-range combat, hit him where the first wave missed. Use full blast, I want to see holes in that thing."

"And what would happen if all else fails?" asked the Yellow SwordNavi.

"If any other of my plans fail, I'll go in and overload that thing into Delete Pile."

"Zero," said Volnutt sternly, "That won't be necessary. Don't have to go such measures to destroying an enemy."

"Yea," said the Yellow Sword Navi, "Isn't that kinda stuff that those nutjobs-"

"The difference between me and them is that I'm targeting just one, singular entity that is a real threat, and I'm doing this to protect people, not to get an easy way pass to paradise."

"True," said a Orange-Red Blaster theme Navi with an Middle Eastern accent, "My NetOp is disgusted by their fascist actions on the world."

"Less Talk, more Heroics." Said a violet female buster Navi as she saw Bug Zero heading towards them.

"Found the weak spot! Dead Center on its icon, like a bull's eye on a target." exclaimed the Scanner Navi. All the Navi converted their arms into their blaster mode and ready to fire until

"Wait!" exclaimed Volnutt, "Isn't odd that The BugNavi hid weakspot from the scanners and then until now, it's in a dead center shot?"

The Navi put down their arms. Realizing the set up they were in.

"We'll take a practice swing," said the blond NetOp of the Yellowish Green Navi, "Mega Cannon, Battle Chip In: Download!"
The Navi's armed transformed and he then aim carefully on the target and launched a great blast of energy. The front of the beam stop short of the icon and it then piled-up into a whirlpool of energy until the end of the beam closed in, then it went straight back towards the Yellowish Green Navi. A cloud of damage data hidden his deletion from the cyberworld completely.
"Ug!" exclaimed the Scanner Navi, "I can't believe I didn't pick-up that force-field! I almost got everyone-"

"But you didn't, so don't loose it on what could happen! Is there anything to get through the shield?"

"Hold on," said the Navi as he began his duties, "Calculating all possibilities… DONE! Our best bet would be to use a Sword-Chip to pierce through, but the attack must be done a great velocity." Zero fired a Zap-Ring3 to paralyze BugZero's movement.

"The one who does this also has to get out the way quick, for as soon as that shield is down, I want everyone to use their strongest blaster attacks to hit the spot dead on!"

The Yellow Sword Navi step up, "I'll go."

His NetOp, a wealthy looking brunette, appeared on a Vid-Screen, "We have a Combo that can pull it off."

"Alright then," said Volnutt.

"Commence Operation!"

The yellow Navi stood tall and proud as BugZero came out of his paralysis. He then began to run forward.
"Here we Go!" shouted the Navi's NetOp, "Wind, Battle Chip In: Download!"

An airbox appeared behind the Navi and began to emitting strong forces of wind, and with the proper balance against the force, the Navi was using the wind to increase he speed.

"Fast Gauge, Battle Chips in: Double Download!"

The Navi's pace began to triple. The Navi was just in range of BugZero to…

"HeroSword, Battle Chip In: Download!"

The Navi then jumped and forced the HeroSword in the shield, using the momentum to make the sword work as a pole-vault. The Navi then used Area Steal to warp away to allow his allies to take their shot.

Everyone from a distance then used every known Blaster and Projectile Program Advances known at the time. Cannons, Bombs, and Stamps attacks bombarded BugZero wildly and the evil Navi was then lost and a climatic overdrive of energy, leaving nothing but a huge crater in its place.

000

The plane rock violently this time and the sound of groaning metal could be heard by the passengers. A couple of overhead compartments swung immediately open. Soon the plane's vibration slowed to a stop. An eerie silence filled the plane.

"Zero…" asked Volnutt into his PET.

"It appears that the enemy is destroyed."

"Alright then." He then opened a link to his wife's PET, "Tron, it's time to put Iris to work."

"Roger." She said in a serious tone.

000

Iris ran to the center of the room, got one her knees, and pressed her hands against the floor. She then went into a deep trance and the floor began to glow. The ScannerNavi was confused.

"What is she doing?"

"She is rearranging the data in the computer to be useable again."
"What didn't she help us to take down that evil you?" he asked again.

"Although she does have the ability to manipulate data, she can't delete Navis, real or bugged."

Iris then spoke without looking away from her work, "I'm trying to restore data, Zero, but more then half the system has been render useless. So far, I manage to wireless commotions back online so we can report to the proper authorities. Now I'm working on restoring the plane functions that would guarantee everyone with a safe… WAIT! The Bugs seems to be shifting… mustering together! They're moving Plane's data with them! ARGH!"

Iris then pulled her hands out of the floor and stumbled back into the arms of the concern Zero, who then helped her up. She then spoke weakly.

"I'm sorry. All of the plane data was destroyed except for the communication link. Everything else has turned into… that."

And from the corroded floor came bizarre rock-clustered being. It started out as a jagged blob entity but soon morphed into a giant golem werewolf version of Zero's upper torso. Instead of a face mask, there was a muzzle with sharp fangs protruding out. The ends of his finger were sharp as claws. And from his back, giant fragmented wings that took the appearance of a dark eagle incarnate. At the base of his body, the Bug-encrusted ground swirled into the torso of the evil being.

"For a blob of cyber-glitches, you really made an impression on the thing." The yellow SwordNavi still retain a sense of humor in the face of an evil incarnate.

Zero remain mission bound as ever, "Iris, is there anything we do to restore the controls of the plane?"

Iris sadly shook her head, "No. With the exception of the Data that I managed to fix, everything has become that Multibug Organism. It still has control of the plane and…"

"'And?'"

Tron's screen appeared to assist her navi with the harsh news, "And the plane is on a straight route for the U.N. building in Netopia…"

There were gasps from the entire squad of navis

"I now know what I have to do."

"'You?'" ask of the burly Navis, "Don't you mean "'us?'"

Volnutt came on the screen, "There is a reason why Zero has his name. When he fights, nothing is left standing… including a large area of cyberspace. So far I had to put restraints on him to keep him from going too far."

Zero finished the grim news. "Our goal was just to regain the plane's control, so we couldn't risk the danger not matter how strong that monstrosity became. But now since now that goal Is now impossible to accomplish…. And the villains who planted this vile monster onboard are making sure we became martyrs for starting a war: We have a new MORE precise goal at hand. Iris: I want to take the Communication Data and shut of this area completely from the entire Plane control system when you leave here with the other navis. Give everyone a chance to talk to their loves ones… and tell the military of what happened here."
Iris nodded to tall red Navi, "Yes, sir." She then extended her arm out, causing a shining yellow sphere to emerge of the ground and float up to her.

The scanner navi gave his last report, "The weakspot now right on the head. But it's protected by shields that draw their power from the middle of both palms of his hands. Good Luck."

Zero nodded to the Navi and then gave his last order. "Everyone. LOG OUT!" And soon all of the Navis disappeared in beams of light.

The lone Navi glance up to his twisted, evil counterpart. His glowing eyes sharpening into the shape of an angry glare.

"Zero: Full Power Activate!" cried Volnutt from his PET, "Access Code: SEAN TRON LAN!"

A faint aura of fire began to form around Zero. The flame was faint in appearance, the entire the cyberspace began to heat up to at least 90 degrees Celsius. to a human

PSSSSSSS-CHNK!
Zero's mouth guard then popped off revealing a gallant handsome face with fierce yellow eyes, blazing with determination.

"Zero-Saber, Battle Chip In: Download!"
The blade appeared in the now humanoid Navi's hand. He took a step forward to strike a noble pose, his step made a deep dent in the ground.

"You foul beast. Your only true purpose of your existence is to strike fear into hearts of the innocence, but today won't be the day. For I shall defeat you before you terror can threaten anyone. HIYAAAAA!" And he then charged Head-on towards the beast.

000

"I won't let Sean think we died as helpless victims!" Volnutt said to himself as he gripped his PET with great pressure. He felt content unable to fight along with Zero. It was the humans' lives that were endangered, and the only chance that they could save themselves is just to be only assistances. The idea that their fate would start a world-wide devastation just pushed his frustration further. Volnutt soon felt his anxiety to its zenith. Suddenly, he felt as though he was in two places at the same time: On board the plane and in the same place as Zero in the Net.

000

As that was taking place, the crimson blur gradually turned into a blazing steak, causing the ground underneath him to break. MonZero attempted to use small waves of BugFrags from the floor to ensnare the running navi but it failed.

MonZero knew what Zero's targets were. He raised his huge claw into the air and began to fire a thick laser beam to incept the real Zero's route.

Step by step, inch by inch. Zero barely managed to keep himself out of the beam's way. It was a dizzying sight: A pillar of light chasing right after a streak of light at high pace action. MonZero kept up with his real counterpoint, but Zero managed to get behind the monster and raced up his back whished unto the back of giant's hand.

Griping his saber high with two firm hands, Zero plunged the laser blade deep through the enormous claw. The sound of the sword powering up could be heard as it clear energy turn red and soon the claw exploded in a great explosion. The beast's hand wasn't destroyed, only lamed.

A second later the explosion, Zero, in bullet speed, leapt from that one hand to the other and took it out in the same manner. The force of this explosion was enough to make towering beast fall limp. The real scarlet swordsman landed across his monstrous MultiBugOrganism copy.

"Beast, you shall now be deleted."

And he then leapt high into the digital-air and landed right onto of the Bug-Being's helmet. The giant shook its massive head in an attempt to shake off the hero, but he hold tight by kicking his boots into the half liquid substance, Zero's extreme heat caused extreme pain to MonZero, but his basic instincts encouraged him to absorb the SuperNavi.

With his left arm already sinking into the BugFrag monster, Zero yielded all of his available power into his saber with his free hand. and he gave one last message to his NetOp.
"Creator… it was a pleasure." And the red, long blond hair, SwordNavi delivered the final blow on his massive, winged lupine doppelganger before his entire body was completely absorbed with BugFrags. The monster's entire body began to turn red from the energy from Zero's strike. Soon MonZero began to glow brighter, and brighter, and brighter until he glowed at a level of white-hot sun. After that, the cyberspace where the epic battle took place disappeared without a trace.

Volnutt ignored the deep rumble of the plane and kept his eyes on his PET screen, filled with static. For some reason he felt intense heat as though he took part in a brawl. He took deep breathes while trying comprehend on what just happened to him.

It was though his mind was that in full synched with Zero's AI. He heard Doctor of what doctor Hikari said about a concept of Full Synchro, the mind of the NetOp with the NetNavi are in alignment with each other and enhances the Navi's abilities by folds while at the same time: damage to one happens to two. But Dr. Hikari stated that Full Synchro can only be done by Lan and his special navi because of the concept of a 100 DNA match of the two. How did Volnutt managed to pull it off puzzled him.

Maybe… he thought, we're NOT in 'Full Synchro' but maybe something close. I didn't die when Zero got…

He then put his hands together and said a silent prayer for the brave soul. The brown haired man turned his attention to his wife, who was in the middle of explaining things.

"… and so you see, we had no other choice. We had to delete the BugNavi in order to prevent a war."
There were no out bursts of rage or anger from anyone. Some were proud at the fact that a disaster was just prevented and by the actions of themselves, the 'hostages.' Others were sad about either never seeing love ones or that their lives were soon to end. Tron continued to sooth the worried crowd.

"We managed to save the Communication Data. We'll be able to send messages to our families. If any of you have any last words. Now's the time to do so."

Everyone pulled out their PETS, jacked their Navis in, and began to make Video Files of their final hour.

Volnutt walked up to Tron and gave her a long, gentle hug. After enjoying their sweet embrace, Tron hold both of her husband's hands, looked him straight in his emerald green eyes with her dark brown eyes, and said.

"Let's talk to Sean."

The couple then returned to their seats and Tron plugged her PET into the computer. And both she and her husband hold hands and brace themselves for their final farewell to their son….
