Chapter 6 Mary and Ribbon's Day Trip

I only own the characters that I own.

OoO-scene change

'Music, wake up,' said Nylorac mentally. Music turned over and buried her head under the pillow. "You're hopeless, Mary."

"Enzan, can you wake her up?" Enzan was staying with them because when he fazed out, he broke the white chip and now, Blues couldn't be Red's operator, Ryou.

After the while it took to wake Mary and get her to get ready for the day, they went to her back yard.

"Remember the time Laika, Rosesade, and you slept over here a few months ago?" asked Nylorac.

"I remember alright," said Enzan.

FLASHBACK

"Okay, here's the key to the back door," said Nylorac as she tossed the key to Enzan. Morazzave, Laika's dog, had followed them. "Morazzave, get back here!" said Laika as Rosesade locked the gate door.

Rosesade ran after Morazzave when he went by the flowers. "Don't even think about that!" yelled Nylorac as she ran after the dog.

Enzan had just unlocked the door and looked back. He just gave a blank stare when he saw Rosesade and Nylorac running around the pool chasing Morazzave. He and Laika walked up to the cement around the pool.

Morazzave ran up to Enzan to say hi. He knocked Enzan over and he fell into the pool. "Laika, help us!" yelled Rosesade. Laika tried telling them, 'look in the pool' but they didn't listen.

Laika chased them around and eventually trapped Morazzave inside.

"That took a while," said Rosesade as she closed the door. "Where was Enzan the whole time?" asked Nylorac. Enzan tapped on her shoulder. They both turned around to a wet and angry Enzan. Rosesade started laughing like mad. "Where do you think I was?" asked Enzan as Laika came by. "My guess would be a water park. Like the ones in Ameroupe," said Laika.

END FLASHBACK

"That was funny what Laika said. I never knew he could be funny," said Nylorac. "Since when does Laika know that the water park capital of the world is in Ameroupe?" asked Enzan.

"I wouldn't know. Red, do you want to stay here while I head to somewhere for the day?" "Where are you going?"

"Tokyo, Nyl-sama promised Abrie and Zoey that she would take them there, but since the kidnapping, I have to take them. They should be here any second now," once Music said that, the twins walked through the gate door.

"Hello Music."

"Hi, did you get your PETs yet?" asked Music as the twins sat down. "Mine had a little trouble to activate, but Zoey's didn't have a problem," said Abrie.

"Who's your navi?" asked Ribbon. "Her name is Nie," said Zoey. Nie was a navi with red hair that went half way down her back. She had red boots and gloves. Her helmet was pink and red with a mini microphone at the end. Her armor was pink and red and there was a ring around her knees and elbows that were white.

"Abrie, since you don't have a navi yet, you can use Red. Enzan, do you mind?" asked Music.

"I guess I don't mind. Do you have a PET yet?" asked Enzan. "No, what do I carry you in?"

"I have a visor that can carry a navi. It's like one of those video game visors that you put on and see a virtual world. I have one that you see the real world and in the small corner screen, your navi would be there," said Ribbon.

Music went inside to get the visor and gave it to Abrie. Red plugged in and appeared in the corner screen on the inside of the visor that Abrie wore.

"That settles that, let's get going."

They got in a limo and headed to Tokyo.

"I get confused between who is who. Is Red Netto-kun, Enzan, or Laika?" asked Abrie. "I'm Iuujin Enzan. My navi Blues, who was Ryou, was red. I am the color blue and my name is Red."

"I can only tell you're Music and Nylorac because you were at your mansion. At the moment, I only know who is who between Princess Pride, Knightman, Enzan, Nylorac, and Music," said Abrie as she remembered what everyone looked like.

"I remembered what everyone looked like," said Zoey.

"Mei Lin and Drop said that they went against Ropeman and he had an operator, but they didn't see who it was. Then yesterday, Ryou and I went up against Barrierman. The meeting was canceled and I noticed one thing. Otten the lawyer wasn't there when everyone left."

"So he must be Barrierman's operator," said Abrie. "Exactly my thoughts, now we have to find out who Ropeman's operator is."

"Since we're studying this case with Mejin, I heard that there's a program in Tokyo. Which one is it?" asked Zoey. "The Communication Program, when an email or phone call is made, that program connects it to its destination," said Ribbon.

"What's the most important program?" asked Abrie. "I don't think anyone knows and one knows where it's kept except for the president," said Music.

They arrived in Tokyo half an hour later. "What are we going to do here?" asked Red. "Maybe we should just walk around for a bit," said Zoey as the limo drove off.

"Let's go ice skating! I know there's an indoor rink somewhere around here," said Music. "You choose your activity fast and why? Shouldn't we be looking out for the program?" asked Ribbon.

"I say we should do something else. Why don't we just see if we can find the location of the program?" asked Abrie. The others nodded in agreement.

"Okay, where would one of the Control Programs be?" asked Music. "It could be anywhere. At the movies, in the capital building, an amusement park, you know what I mean," said Ribbon.

"Want to go to the library to see if we can study the history of these programs and maybe find a hint of where they all are?" asked Zoey. The others nodded in agreement and they headed off.

When they got to the library, they each grabbed a book on the programs and started looking through them.

Behind one of the nearby shelves, a girl with a mix of white and light icy blue hair recognized Music. She wore a tight white and crystal blue jacket and tight white pants. "Coder, one of those net saviors that our leader kidnapped is here."

"How do we get the program, Madi-san?" asked Coder. Coder was a navi that looked like a robot. He was mostly white and had some blue and gray on the side. His gloves were blue and his arms were white with some gray. His boots were blue and gray and his legs were white and gray. His helmet was square shape and was white and gray. He had a black visor and his symbol was a blue, white, and gray battery.

"I'll think of something, the boss didn't make me the second leader for nothing. I had to check the white chips one time and I can't believe that they kidnapped him. I haven't seen him since 6th grade," said Madi.

Madi walked by and sat down at the table next to the three girls. She pretended to be reading some random book she pulled out.

"Plug-in Coder Transmission!" whispered Madi. Coder got into the library's system and started to hack through the firewall.

Abrie noticed the red beam shooting from Madi's white and blue PET to the shelf's plug-in sensor.

"Red, doesn't she look like Lady Gaga?" asked Abrie. Red looked at her through the visor, "Who the heck is Lady Gaga?"

"She's a singer in Ameroupe," said Abrie as Madi looked at her. Being the friendly person she was, Abrie introduced herself, "Hello, I'm Abrie. I couldn't help, but noticed that you look kind of like a singer in Ameroupe."

"I'm Madi. I think I know who you're talking about. Do you come from Ameroupe? I come from Sharo."

"Hai, I moved here with my twin sister last year."

"Excuse me, I need to go to the ladies' room," said Madi as she got up. She got behind a shelf and made her way to a computer.

"Coder, how is that firewall going?" asked Madi as she put on a pair of headphones.

"Just went down with no security alarms going off. I'll proceed in taking the program," said Coder. "Don't you feel nervous about taking a Control Program, though?" asked Madi.

"No, the organization trained us very well. If you don't like stealing these, then why did you join?" "I don't know. I wanted to become stronger and fight for something, but I guess one thing led to another," said Madi.

Coder just ignored her and started working on the barrier aroung the program. When he was about to take it, he found himself tied up in ribbon. He looked to see Ribbon standing there.

"You're under arrested for attempting to steal the Communication Program," said Ribbon as Madi started to panic. "Who said I'm attempting to? I already did!" said Coder as he brought up a keyboard and typed something. The ribbons let go of him .

"He must be the hacker," thought Ribbon aloud. "You're right Ribbon," said Coder as he stopped, "or should I say Nylorac Summers."

"Of course, you come from the organization," said Ribbon, "Who's your operator?"

"Like I'm telling you," said Coder as he brought up a keyboard. He typed a few commands and a bunch of viruses appeared as he ran to the program.

When Coder was about to pick the program up while running by, Mary slotted in a chip.

"Battlechip Ice Seed slot-in!"

Ribbon threw the football like ice seed toward Coder. As Coder was about to run by and pick the program up, he slipped on the icy floor and collided with a virus.

"Battlechip Aqua Tower slot-in!"

Ribbon slammed her palm on the ground and the aqua tower came out and hit Coder, freezing him on contact.

"Battlechip Yo-Yo slot-in!"

Ribbon threw out the yo yo, but missed since Coder had defrosted and jumped out of the way.

Red appeared in the system and saw Coder. He sent a sonic boom and deleted a bunch of viruses. After they finished off the viruses, Coder had the program in hand and was running off.

"Sonic Boom!" Red sent it off and Coder dropped the program when he was hit. "Let's take care of Red," he muttered as he brought up his keyboard. He typed in a bunch of commands and Red couldn't move.

Coder picked the program up and typed in a few things and a few viruses came up and attacked as Coder was plugged out.

Ribbon took care of the viruses and grabbed Red's arm since he was still unable to move. She was plugged out with Red.

"How do we get him moving again?" asked Abrie as they looked at Red. "We can't do much, but-hey! I just realized that nobody had run out of the library yet," said Mary.

"Your point is?" asked Zoey as they put Red back in the visor. "Coder's operator would have ran out of here. We should go track him or her down."

Everyone looked at each other, "I'll call Hikari-hakase and have him help me with Red if I need it while you guys work on that," said Abrie as she went over to a computer.

Everyone looked around the library and Abrie was about to start a program when she saw Madi getting up from a computer. "Hi Madi. Did you hear about that navi Coder that stole the Communication Program?"

"H-hai, by the way, do you have a navi?" asked Madi nervously. "No, I'm just using one for a day. He can't move because of that navi, Coder. Do you have a navi?" asked Abrie as she plugged Red in.

"H-hai, do you know what Coder looks like?" "I didn't get to see him that well because he was running too fast, but I know he's white and blue and a little gray."

"Can I see what your navi looks like?" asked Abrie as she started a repair program.

Coder, from the inside of Madi's PET, noticed she seemed to change from her nervous nice self to cold and harsh when she said, "No, you can't see my navi, twerp."

"Hey! Why not?" asked Abrie as Red woke up. "Because I am part of the organization and I don't like talking to annoying kids like you," said Madi as she walked away with an evil smirk on her face.

OoO

As Madi returned to the place that was their hideout, Coder asked, "What was up with you being nervous and nice to mean and harsh?"

"I don't know, I just felt fine one moment, then the next I feel so evil. I must be one of those people with an inner self. Like having an inner self that's evil," said Madi.

'Madi needs to be more evil instead of nice,' thought Coder, 'Maybe I can use her inner self to my advantage.'

OoO

"She's Coder's operator?" yelled Mary when they got outside, "I noticed her, too, but she seemed really nice."

"I heard her talking to Coder when she was behind a shelf. She said something that sounded like she knew one of us and hadn't seen them since 6th grade," said Zoey, "I couldn't hear if she said him or her, though."

"Red, did you know anyone with the name of Madi when you were in 6th grade?" asked Abrie. "I saw what she looked like. Judging from her appearnce, I think her age ranges from about 14-18. It would have been about 2-6 years ago that she was in 6th grade," said Red.

"That takes a few of us out. You said that her age ranges from 14-18, right?" asked Ribbon and Red nodded.

"If she is about 14-18, the person she knows should be about her age if they knew her in 6th grade. How many of tyou guys are between the ages of 14-18?" asked Zoey. "That takes Hikari and Sakura out. Say that Madi is 18, if it were one of them, they would have been six years old," said Red.

"That takes me and Enzan out, too. We would have been seven when she was in 6th grade," said Ribbon.

"All there is left is Laika, Princess Pride, and Rosesade. If Madi knew Laika or Princess Pride, she would have to know Rosesade because she is Laika's sister and she was adopted by Pride's parents, but it never became offical so Rosesade just lived with Princess Pride," said Zoey.

"How do you know all of that?" asked Red. "We looked through some personal files on you guys and gathered some information about you guys with Mejin since we're helping with the case," answered Zoey.

"I remembered Madi told me she was from Sharo," said Abrie, "but I just remembered, if Madi is 18, when she was in 6th grade, Pride would have been eight and when she was eight, she went to Sharo."

"This is leading to no where. If Madi is 18, then when she was in 6th grade, the last three were all in Sharo," said Ribbon.

"We should ask those three. Who should we call first?" asked Mary. "Let's go youngest first," said Abrie.

Ribbon called Rosesade through her PET. When they got through, Yaito picked up and they saw Rosesade in the backround talking to Midnight.

"Hello Yaito-chan, can we talk to Rosesade and why is Midnight there?" asked Abrie as the screen spilt into five because everyone wanted to see.

"Midnight is here because I had a virus attack and she happened to be in town and sure, you can talk to Rosesade," said Yaito as she handed Rosesade the video phone and left the room.

"Oh, Hi! How have you guys been?" greeted Rosesade cheerfully.

"There's a new organization in town," said Red. "I know that Red, or should I say Enzan. Mejin gives me updates every week. What do you need?"

"Abrie heard one of the organization members talk to her navi Coder. She said something that sounded like she knew one of us. She couldn't hear is she said if it was a guy or girl though," said Ribbon. "By what Enzan said, he said her age ranges from 14-18," said Zoey, "She also said she hasn't seen the person since 6th grade. So we came down to three of us that would've been around her age."

"She said to Abrie that she was from Sharo, if she was 18, then when she was in 6th grade, all three of you would've been in Sharo," said Mary.

"So what is the final question?" asked Rosesade as she looked at the screen that was spilt into five. "Do you know someone by the name of Madi?" asked the five.

"Now that you mention, I meant this girl named Madi when Laika was in 6th grade. She was pretty nice, but her parents were pretty mean. I don't remember her age though," said Rosesade. "Well thanks for your help anyway. Bye, have a good time in Kingland," said Zoey.

Rosesade turned around and said to Midnight, "You suck at being-" she was cut off when she hung up the phone.

They called Pride and explained it to her like they did to Rosesade.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know anyone by the name of Madi, but Rosesade talked about someone with that name when I went to visit Sharo a few years back," replied Pride.

"Thank you Lady Pride, we're going to call Lieutenant now," said Red. "You don't have to call him. You five keep forgetting that I live with him," said Pride as she looked at the spilt screeen.

She went to get Laika in Searchman's PET as the others thought over about what they knew. "We have two people left that could help us with thing," said Zoey as Laika came to the phone.

"Hello?" After they explained a little of it to Laika, he said, "Yeah, I know Madi. I was in her class until 6th grade. Then I was home schooled," said Lieutenant. "How old is Madi?" asked Red. "She's just a few months younger then me," said Lieutenant, "How do you know her and why do you bring it up?"

"She was in the main library in Tokyo and that's where we were," said Mary. "And we brought it up because she and her navi Coder…are part of that organization," said Ribbon. Lieutenant just stared at the five for a minute, "Am I the only one that can help you with this?"

The five nodded. Lieutenant just nodded and hung up.

"Mejin told us sooner or later, you six are going to probably have to go out and learn as much as you can about one of the members. Since we all probably have some sort of grudge or hate or something for one of them," said Zoey.

"I agree, I bet Red has a grudge against Otten and Barrierman," said Ribbon.

"I kind of do. Laika just got a grudge for Madi I think," said Red as Ribbon started to faze out. "Mejin told us that it's normal and unless they do something unsafe, then it's safe," said Abrie.

OoO

Nylorac woke up and saw a battlechip in her hand. She looked over and saw Enzan on the bed across the small room with his PET on his pillow. Enzan's battlechip carrier was open and Nylorac figured that he was able to do what he did.

She quickly stotted in and Music appeared. She took the white chip and hid it under her pillow.

OoO

Mary disappeared and her PET disappeared.

OoO

"Are you alright?" whispered Music. Nylorac nodded, "Go see if Blues is alright."

Madi came into the room and saw her disconnecting the wires. "Nylorac Summers, I need to talk to you," said Madi as Nylorac stopped.

"Don't worry, I have intention of hurting anyone. I just have a dark side that I can't control. The other members are trying to get it to take me over. If you let me, I'll take care of your navi and the other one."

Nylorac thought this over and let her take care of Music. "Just please try to fight your evil side and don't hurt my navi."

She let Madi take her PET and Blues and Music stayed there under the care of Madi. Once Madi left, she closed her eyes and when she opened them, she was in the visor that Abrie was wearing.

After Ribbon explained what happened, they decided that Red and Ribbon would stay at the twins' place and sometimes in Nylorac's mansion's network.

OoO
