Ch3
Hikari Netto didn't enjoy homework, on such a nice evening he would've preferred to spend the day outside having fun or surfing the internet. Man this is a drag. He frowned at the math problems he had to do and slowly did them.
"Come on Netto-kun we are almost done," Slur said from her PET. "The sooner you finish the sooner we can net battle. Do you need help with your homework?"
He smiled at his navi and nodded. "I think I got it," he said as he focused on the problems.
I can't wait for the N1 Grand Prix. We can win this I'm sure of it. Slur was strong, really strong. He wasn't surprised since his dad was so smart and made her for him. Though the way she took out all of WWW's navis still surprised him, he could tell she wasn't even trying when she tore them to pieces. Even with Magicman she barely broke a sweat.
The prospect of fighting stronger opponents made him giddy. With his net battling skills and Slur's power they could take on stronger opponents.
I bet she is stronger than I realize. As he did his homework he looked at his navi. She was calm and collected as usual. What exactly are you thinking about?
While Slur was kind to him and fought well he couldn't help but feel that there was distance between them. Deep down something was telling him that Slur was hiding something, though he couldn't put his figure on what it could be.
But still dad made her for me. I'll do my best to gain her trust. A smile spread across his face as he finished his assignment. "Alright Slur I finished," he said.
"Let me take a quick look," Slur said as she quickly went over his homework. "Alright it all looks correct. Good job Netto-kun."
"Thanks," he said. "I couldn't have done it without your help."
Slur smiled at him, it was a nice smile yet deep down he could tell it wasn't genuine. "I am your net navi and am assigned to help assist you."
"Well I'm really glad to have a partner like you," he said resting in his chair. "We defeated so many opponents together and helped so many people."
"As a navi I am to follow your orders," Slur said from the PET. "Whatever they maybe I will follow your commands."
"Th-Thanks," he said. "Hey Slur can I ask you something?"
"Of course what is it?" His navi asked.
"What do you like to do? I mean you always seem focused on helping me which I don't have a problem with but what do you like to do?" He asked.
Slur frowned at him and paused. "I don't really have any likes. But I guess you could I enjoy following orders."
"That's not really fun," he said frowning at Slur. "Don't you enjoy the adventures we have had."
"Of course I did," Slur said quickly. "Though personally I would've deleted some of WWW's navis since they are terrorists."
"I can understand that," he sighed. "WWW has caused a lot of problems, personally I don't want to delete a navi unless it was for something drastic. But do you enjoy net battling?"
Slur looked at him and nodded. "I find it fun. Though to be honest most of the opponents are rather weak."
"Yeah I thought you were holding back a few times," he said scratching his head. "Out of curiosity if you went all out against WWW's navis how fast could you honestly take them out?'
Slur smiled at him. "Really quickly." Her tone with frank and to the point like she always wasy.
"I believe you," he said with a shrug. "So you've bee holding back that much?" Just how strong are you? A rush of excitement spread throughout his body. We can definitely win this tournament.
His navi nodded. "I have. I hold back in part because they aren't worthy of my full strength and in part because I know it would make you upset if I deleted every navi I fought." Slur shrugged her shoulders as if it were no big deal.
"I see," he said sitting back in his chair and folding his arms. "You know I believe we can actually win the N1 Grand Prix."
"Do you wish to win it?" Slur asked.
He looked at her and smiled. "Of course I do. Partly because it is fun and also to show the world our strength. We will be fighting against many strong opponents, like that Enzan guy."
Slur smiled at him. "Well if you wish it I will do all I can do win. Do you have a plan?"
"Not really," he said scratching his head. "I was thinking fight like you can now and towards the end if we have stronger opponents we can go all out."
"Sounds good," Slur said folding her arms. "I look forward to our future fights."
"Me too," he said with a grin. "Come on want to practice a bit?"
"Sure sounds good," Slur said shrugging her shoulders.
"Great I'll boost up some practice programs," he said as he typed on his keyboard. He had a few wolf viruses materialize on his computer. "Come on lets practice working together."
"As you wish," Slur said as she appeared in front of the viruses.
"Canon slot in," he said as he put the battle chip into the PET.
A Canon appeared on Slur's arm which she used to fire at a virus that charged at her. The virus was deleted with a whimper just as another fired a blast of fire at her.
"Area Steal slot it. Vulcan slot int," he said putting the battle chips into the PET.
Slur quickly teleported away from the attack and appeared behind the virus and fired the Vulcan blaster at it. The virus was taken out leaving only four more.
The remaining viruses growled at Slur and shot a combined blast of fire at her. "Water Tower slot it. Barrier slot in!" Slur summoned a tower of water to counter the attack causing steam to appear everywhere. "Wide sword slot in!"
He heard the sounds of the viruses whimpering as Slur took them out. By the time the steam dissipated, they were all gone. "Enemies terminated Netto-kun."
"Good job," he said. "How did you feel about it?"
"You are a great operator. I'm glad to be paired with you," Slur said.
"Paired with me?" He asked.
For a second he saw annoyance in Slur's eyes as if she let slip something she shouldn't have. "I mean partnered with you," Slur said quickly.
"Oh ok," he said. A part of him wondered if she did let slip something she shouldn't have said. "Any come on lets practice a bit more, I want us to be in sync for the N1 Grand Prix."
He knew a net navi and operator must be in sync to be a good team. Despite Slur's strength he still had to do his part. But why do I feel like there is a wall between us? She keeps to herself not that I mind. But he didn't care, he wanted to get closer to Slur and form a good bond with her. We'll make a good team I know we can to great things togehter.
"Come on Slur lets practice our teamwork again," he said as he booted up a few programs
Slur looked at him with her calm gaze and nodded. "Of course. I will do as you ask."
Enzan watched the video of Blues fighting that navi Slur over and over again. Her movements are quick. What kind of navi is she?
He had watched the video clip over and over and even watched the female navi's fight with Magicman. She took this navi down as if it were nothing. What exactly is she?
Looking into the data he obtained he knew that Hikari Netto was the child of famous scientist Yuuichirou Hikari. Could he have made some sort of super navi for his son?
The idea made a part of him both intrigued him and horrified him. A super powerful navi in the hands of a boy like Hikari Netto could cause problems.
While the young boy hadn't caused any problems a part of him knew that this boy would only be a thorn in his side. He is still just a pebble. If we do fight I'll make sure Blues takes out this navi.
"Blues what do you think of the videos?" He asked.
His navi appeared on the screen and bowed. "This female navi is definitely holding back."
"When you fought her what did you think?" He asked as he sat back in his chair.
"She was definitely faster than I thought," Blue said. "She will definitely be an interesting opponent."
He nodded as he sat back in his chair. Taking a sip of coffee he looked at the video of his navi's fight with Slur. "She is definitely not a normal navi. We must train harder to try and defeat her."
Blues bowed. "I will do as you command sir."
"She and her operator will be participating in the N1 Grand Prix," he said folding his arms. "We may face them in the future. Whatever happens we will win."
Also there is a chance he could watch. Thinking of his father his stomach turned, his dad was always cold with him despite his accomplishments. If I win this then just maybe he will notice me. It was a tiny thought that still gave hope to his inner child. We'll win. I'll show my dad Blues' strenght and how far we've come. .
"I won't disappoint you sir," Blues said. "Though may I put in my opinion?"
"Of course what is it?" he asked.
Blues looked at him and frowned. "Something about that navi doesn't sit will with me. She was so quick it was almost unnatural. If we go up against her we must be prepared."
"I know what you mean," he muttered. "We must be prepared for all possibilities with this navi. If she is a threat we must be prepared to take her down."
Blues nodded. "I agree sir."
Looking at the picture of Slur and Hikari Netto his brow furrowed. Just who are Hikari Netto? How could you get a navi like this? Either way he and Blues would defeat her if it came to it. No one can stop us.
Dr. Wily looked over the members of WWW as they watched the videos of their navis defeats at the hands of Slur.
"That navi is a pain in our side," Hino Ken said. "Me and Fireman will burn her to crips the next time we meet."
Maddoi nodded in agreement. "Be careful though she isn't strong. She took down Colorman even with Iceman's help."
He cleared his throat causing everyone to turn to him. "Indeed Slur may be the ultimate navi we are searching for." Watching the screen a smile spread across his face.
"I doubt the kid will just hand her over though," Mahajorama said. "We must be cautious if we plan to face her again. Elec Hakushaku nodded in agreement.
"Either way if we can't have her on our side we shall defeat her," he said. "The ultimate navi will be in our hands one way or another." Turning to the screen a smile spread across his face. "With it net society shall bow to us."
"Are you sure this navi could be the ultimate navi you seek?" Elec Hakushaku asked.
"I don't know," he admitted. "Perhaps she may be the navi that I seek but for now we must be on alert. I am sure what we seek will soon come into our hands."
He turned to all of them and looked each of them in the eyes. "Do not forget our goals. Go into the N1 Grand Prix and bring us victory. We shall obtain the ultimate navi and use it for our goals of domination!" he held out his fist and clenched it.
"No one shall get into our way," he said. "Now go and bring us victory!"
"Yes sir!" Everyone in the room said.
