MegaMan Battle Network the Movie 6: The Chaotic Tournament of Hell
Chapter One: A Dark Tournament?
The morning sun shined on the deck of the Black Refractor, which was sailing in the deep blue sea. The crew had just gotten up for breakfast, then quickly got to work on the ship.
Elie Inverse went to the prow and stared at the horizon for a while. "Who knows what will be our next destination..." she said to herself.
Elie was still thinking of the events of the Dark Chip Incident, which it had been almost a year since then. She had finally downloaded all the memory data inside the monkey program Data of her past life as Lina. Elie was worried though, that perhaps Black Heart could return to attack those she cared most about, since Black Heart was a Navi like her now.
"If that bastard comes near Treble again she'll pay..." Elie grumbled.
Black Spotty walked up behind Elie, placing a hand on her shoulder. "What's wrong, Elie?" he asked.
"Nothing." Elie turned around and smiled at Spotty. "Just thinking."
"Mom! Dad!" Treble Forte, Spotty & Elie's son called out. "There's an island ahead!"
"An island?" Mr. Blue Nose, Spotty's trusted aid asked. "But we've been sailing for weeks now, where are we?"
"Who cares?" Tron Bonne asked. "As long as they have food on that island, I really don't care."
Tron's brother Teisel nodded. "Yeah, let's hurry! I'm hungry!"
Mute was preparing for their arrival at the strange island. His Navi, Speakie, appeared on his shoulder.
"Land ho!" Speakie cried.
Elie yawned and looked tired. "Um, I think the Copybot is running out of power." Elie reminded Spotty. "I'm going to the Net until it recharges."
"Don't stay away too long." Spotty said.
"I'll take Bugger, Axl, and the others with me." Elie said, her body lit up.
In a flash, all that remained was the Copybot body.
"I hope she knows what she's doing..." Lizzie said.
"You know Lina...." Snippy Snippy said. "I mean, Elie."
The Cyber Pirate Navis all were inside the computer deck of the Black Refractor. Elie stepped up to the group.
"Morning dudes." Elie said.
"What's up Elie?" Mary, Lizzie's Navi asked.
"Not much." Elie said. "We're reaching an island."
"Well then let's go take a look at the town's Net City." Bugger, Spotty's Navi said.
"Is that safe?" Unick, Snippy's Navi asked.
"You can stay here if you want." Axl, Treble's Navi said.
"I'm coming with!" the little monkey Data hopped onto Elie's shoulder.
Suddenly, a strange Navi that looked like a wizard in a red cloak appeared. "Are you the infamous Cyber Pirates?" he asked.
"Who wants to know?" Elie asked.
"My name is Rezolious, High Priest Navi of Cevia, welcome to our land." the red Navi said. "Feel free to call me Rezo."
"Rezo huh?" Bugger asked. "So what do you want?"
"I've come to invite you to our tournament." Rezo said. "We are holding a Net Battler Tournament on the island now, it would be ideal for you to enter."
"And why should we waste our time playing around in some tournament?" Ferham, one of the other Cyber Pirates asked.
"Because the fate of the world depends on it." Rezo said.
"And how is that?" Mary asked.
"Because a powerful chip was taken from a sacred place on Cevia." Rezo explained. "It is the most powerful chip the world has ever known, even more powerful than the 5 Chips of Darkness."
Elie glared at him. She was beginning not to like him at all. "How do you know of the 5 Chips of Darkness?" Elie asked.
"Let's just say I've been around." Rezo said. "We are all full of mysteries. Like you, Elie Inverse."
Elie widened her eyes. She then charged a Fireball between her hands. "How do you know my name?"
"You are one of the Navis that helped stop the Dark Chip Incident, am I not mistaken?" Rezo asked.
"Yes, I am." Elie said, still holding the Fireball in her hands. "So what do you want from me?"
"To enter the tournament and make sure that the chip doesn't fall into the wrong hands." Rezo explained. "That is all I ask."
Elie put out the Fireball and turned to the others. "Do you guys fell up for a challenge?"
The whole crew nodded.
"I've been itching for a battle!" Mary exclaimed.
"What about us?" Botos asked. "Not all of us have Operators."
"Solo Navis are allowed." Rezo said.
"Very well then." Bugger said. "Tell us where to go then."
"Just head to the Battle Tower on the island." Rezo explained. "It's the largest building on the island."
The strange red cloaked Navi disappeared from sight.
"There's something about that guy I don't like..." Elie groaned.
"But what choice do we have?" Jelloman asked.
"We can't let that chip get into Curse's hands." Bugger pointed out.
Elie nodded. She agreed with Bugger. Most likely Curse Pearl would hear about this special chip, and would try to get it in hopes of using it to destroy them.
"So we'll be entering a tournament?" Serverbot #1 asked. "This is exciting!"
Elie smiled at the yellow Navi but then frowned. It would be exciting if not for the danger this chip could cause.
"I guess we should tell the others then." Axl said.
Elie nodded. She transferred into Spotty's PET. "SPOTTY!!" she hollered.
Spotty pulled out his PET, a little surprised to see Elie there. "What is it?"
"We've got trouble." Elie said.

Meanwhile in DenTech City, Lan Hikari had just gotten out of class. It was summer vacation finally and Lan looked forward to resting up.
"So what are you going to so over the summer?" Mayl asked Lan.
"I don't know." Lan said, starring into the sky. "I wish there was a Net Tournament to enter this year."
"Yeah, me too." Dex said, coming up behind them. "So that I could kick your butt!"
"As if!" Lan snapped.
"We all know who would win." Tory said.
"After all, Megaman helped stop the Dark Chip Incident." Yai pointed out. "I wish we could have helped you guys."
"We haven't see any of them since then..." Mayl said.
"What happened to Treble?" Yai asked. "He hasn't been back since then."
"He went to go live with his parents back with the Cyber Pirates." Lan explained.
A strange man in a tan and black cloak with strange symbols on it appeared in front of the group. He held a black staff with a red gem in it. "Are you a skilled Net Battler?" he asked Lan.
Lan barely stopped walking right before he walked into the man. "Who are you?"
The man bowed with a smile, but he kept his eyes closed. "My name is Xellious Noon, Mysterious Trickster Priest, and fortune teller!" he said with a laugh. "Just call me Xel."
"I don't trust this guy." Mayl whispered to Lan.
"Are you interested in a tournament?" Xel asked.
Lan's face lit up. "A tournament? Where?"
"Well, you see, there's a tournament going on soon in a country called Cevia, a Battle Chip from my temple was stolen, it is the most powerful chip in the world, more powerful than all the Chips of Darkness." Xel explained. "The winner of the tournament will receive the chip, would you be willing to enter the chip to help my temple?"
"Wow, it must be some rare chip!" Dex cried.
"I'll do it!" Lan cried.
Mayl pulled Lan back. "Hold it Lan, think about this! This weird guy just shows up and you trust him?"
"Why not?" Lan asked. "Gateman was kind of weird but Roll trusted him when he took her to Serenade."
"That was different." Mayl said. "Roll was kidnapped and didn't have much of a choice."
"So? I'm a Net Savior." Lan said. "I should check this out anyway."
"Now he actually wants to do a mission voluntarily..." Megaman groaned.
"Then you'll do it?" Xel asked.
Lan nodded. Xel handed Lan and everyone a ticket to a plane.
"That's the plane ticket to Cevia." Xel said. "Make sure you're not late!"
"All right guys, we've got a tournament to enter!" Lan cried.
Xel smiled. "Good, spread the word to your friends." he said as he walked off.

Meanwhile, Daven was surfing the web on his surfboard, heading towards the DenTech Web Area. He wanted to see Megaman again, for it had been some time since he had last seen him. Ailias was with him, she had missed the group as well.
"Are you from the UnderNet?" Rezo appeared in Daven's path.
Daven skidded to a halt. "Why do you want to know?"
"My name is Rezolious, a High Priest of the Net, which is going to be in peril without your help." Rezo said. "Are you up for the challenge?"
"Well, I'm game. What about you, Koji?" asked Daven.
In the Real World, Koji Wave, Daven's Operator had sky blue hair and eyes. "I'm down with that, so when is it?" inquired Koji.
Rezo smiled and gave Daven an electronic ticket. "This is for your Operator, the air port will give him his ticket there. And here's another for any friends you might have."
Daven took the ticket. "Thanks! I hope to see you soon!"

Where as off in a restaurant in ACDC Town, Sara, Dennis, Nicole, Daniel, Shori, Blaze, Jane & Taylor were all together.
Dennis had just ordered when he noticed the person working in the restaurant.
"Mark?! What are you doing here?" Dennis asked.
"Working instead of my sister who's sick, and..." Mark's words fell short, he looked at Sara and smiled. "Hello my lovely lady, what a would a sweet looking girl like you doing here, and what might your name be?"
"Is someone talking to me?" Sara asked.
"Her.... Name.... Is.... Sara...." Shori answered.
"Sara? What a beautiful name, for a beautiful person." Mark said.
"Um, thank you.... Who said that?" Sara asked.
"I'd asked you why are you here..." Dennis said.
"Well... I'm kinda low in cash, then I'd stumble upon this place, it has a great view to look at every look at the women who's passing here." Mark said.
"You never change, do you?" Dennis asked.
Sara popped her head up. "Oh. Do you know this person, Dennis?"
"She only just figured it out that this guy was talking to her now?" Jane asked Taylor.
"Well..." Dennis said. "This is my cousin, Mark, he's a per..."
Mark quickly placed a hand over Dennis's mouth, to shut him up. "... Perfectionist, and have charming personality."
"I bet...." Nicole said, glaring at Mark.
"Oh..." Sara said.
Valiya, Sara's Navi appeared as a hologram over Sara's shoulder. "And this is my blinder than a bat Net Op, Sara."
"Ah, what a lovely Navi, for a lovely person." Mark said.
"Charm will get you nowhere, buddy." Valiya remarked.
"Mark, get back to work you lazy idiot!!!" Mark's boss hollered.
Mark sighed. "Alright, alright, I'm coming..."
"It's a good thing that neither Keith nor his Navis have shown up yet." Daniel said.
"Keith? I thought he was in jail." Blaze asked.
"There's always the possibility that he's escaped from jail." Daniel pointed out.
"True. Waiter! More food!" Nicole shouted.
"She.... Must.... Be.... REALLY.... Hungry...." Shori said.
"Can't you ever talk right?!?" Blaze screamed, shaking Shori violently.
The waiter came up to the group, he had a towel over his right arm. "................ DIE MORON!!!!" The waiter removed the towel to reveal a gun, and fired a shot at Daniel.
Daniel narrowly avoided the shot, then kicked the gun out of the waiter's hands. He then drew his Smith and Wesson .500 Magnum Revolver and aimed it at the man.
"HANDS IN THE AIR NOW!!" Daniel shouted.
The waiter threw a plate at Daniel and threw off his uniform, revealing a man in a black leather jacket.
"Keith?!?" Nicole cried. "He never learns, does he?"
"You just HAD to say it, didn't you?" Jane snapped at Daniel.
Keith quickly knocked Daniel's revolver out of his hands.
"I can still take you down!" Daniel cried, jumping from the table and launching a series of furious punches at Keith.
Nicole joined in with a few kicks, the two threw Keith through the window of the restaurant.
"Um, who's going to pay for that?" Taylor asked with a sweat drop on his head.
Xel appeared and approached the group. "Are you all Net Saviors?" he asked.
"What's it to you?" Nicole asked.
"Wait a second..." Daniel said, he recognized the man. "You're the guy that tipped me off about Nebula's Headquarters!"
Xel smiled and nodded. "Correct. My name is Xellious Noon."
"So what are you doing here?" Dennis asked.
"I have something of interest for you." Xel said. "There is a tournament taking place in Cevia, the prize is a valuable chip that is very powerful. But I fear that the chip could fall into the wrong hands...."
"So you're asking us to get it for you?" Jane asked.
Xel nodded. "More or less. Interested?"
Daniel nodded. "Of course. It'll be a chance to try out a new program for D-Nightmare."
Xel cracked an evil smiled. "Good. Here's your ticket to Cevia." he handed a ticket to Daniel. "It's already paid for."
"Thanks." Daniel said. "You can count on seeing me."
Xel also handed tickets to everyone else. "Spread the word to the other Net Agents, will you?" he walked out of the restaurant.
"That guy is creepy..." Jane said.
"........ Hello....." Shori said.
"He's gone, Shori." Salabi, Shori's Navi pointed out.
"I better send a message to Alex and Andrew." Daniel said. "I know they'll be interested."
"I guess we better get busy then." Nicole said.

"So what do you want to do?" Brandon asked his brother, the two were sitting on the couch in their mansion.
"I don't know, play Nintendo Wii?" Anthony asked.
"How about you stop ignoring me?" Morgan growled at Brandon.
"Oh! Morgan, didn't see you there!" Brandon said.
"Is this what you're going to do all day?" Amy asked.
"Seems normal to me." Heather said, turning to Jake. "Well now what?"
Jake shook his head. "No idea, but right now is kind of boring."
"Yeah, I wish I could see Lizzie again...." Anthony said.
"You've been nuts about that girl since the Dark Chip Incident...." Brandon said. "Why don't you call her up?"
"Because to get a hold of her involves sending Spearman to Mary...." Anthony said. "And you know how Mary is....."
"I could send Marino if you want." Morgan said.
"Maybe her sister can talk some sense into her?" Heather asked.
"Maybe." Anthony sighed. "Because beating up Spearman is Mary's favorite pastime."
"Hello there..." Xel appeared before the group.
"How the hell did you get in here?!?" Brandon yelled.
"Your security sucks, you really should update." Xel said.
Anthony pulled out a rocket launcher and pointed it at Xel. "Start talking and make it good."
"Hold it, I'm on your side." Xel said. "You know you could really hurt someone with that....."
"That's the point!" Anthony said.
"Beside me." Xel pointed out. "Anyway, are you skilled Net Battlers?"
"You won't find anyone more skilled." Brandon said.
"Really full of yourself, huh?" Xel asked, cracking a smile. "That's good."
"So do you actually want something?" Jake asked.
"Or did you come here to annoy us?" Amy asked.
"Well, I thought you'd be interested in a tournament coming up in Cevia....." Xel began to tell his story. "I need your help...."

Chapter Two: The Operators Gather
When the plane arrived at Cevia, Lan saw a familiar sight.
"Chaud!" Lan cried, running up to Chaud.
"What are you doing here?" Mayl asked.
"The Officials think that this tournament might be some kind of trap." Chaud explained. "Plus we don't want that chip to fall into the wrong hands."
"Well, nice to see you again." Vanilla Port said. "Long time no see."
"And don't forget me." Raika added.
"Hello Lan." Pride smiled.
"Wow, you guys came too?" Lan asked. "That's great!"
Brandon's Jet had just landed with the other plane with Daniel and the others.
"Hey, it's been a while." Brandon said.
"Hi guys!" Dennis cried.
"It's been a while." Taylor said.
"Wow, everyone's here." Megaman said.
"Isn't it kind of odd a bunch of the Ranked Navis are here?" Roll asked.
"Yeah, that is odd." Megaman said.
Koji stepped up and approached the group. "Hey Chaud, long time."
"Koji?!" Chaud cried. "What the heck are you doing here?"
"I got an invitation." Koji explained. "Who are your friends?"
"I'm Lan." Lan said. "I'm a Net Savior."
Koji hesitated at first, then spoke. "I'm Koji Wave...."
Mayl & Jane both lit up. "You're THE Koji Wave?!?! Koji of Triple-Wave, the famous rock band sensation that's sweeping the nation?!?!" they both screamed.
"What is he, famous or something?" Kara Lynn, Sara's little sister asked.
"Who are they talking about?" Sara asked.
"Um, forget it, Sara." Dennis said.
"Forget what?" Sara asked.
"Nevermind girl, just ignore them." Nicole said.
"Hey, I didn't expect to see you guys here." Treble walked up to the group.
"Treble! Hey, what are you doing here?" Jane asked.
"We kind of crashed here." Treble said.
"So are you guys all entering the tournament?" Lizzie joined them.
"Lizzie!" Anthony cried. "How have you been?"
"Pretty good." Lizzie said with a smile. "Say, let's head in and get ready for the tournament!"

Dora Adams, Mr. Dark Chip's Operator, had just arrived at Cevia. She wore a black T-shirt with a black jacket above it, and she had black jeans and black training shoes. She carried a small black purse.
"Are you sure about this Dora?" Mr. Dark Chip asked. "It's dangerous with so many officials around."
"But the chip is probably some kind of Dark Chip!" Dora cried.
"Should had known that it was something like that that made her abandon her common sense....." Mr. Dark Chip groaned.
What Dora didn't know was that her brother John Adams was there as well. John had on a green shirt and green pants along with green hiking boots with a white lab coat on top of his clothes. He also had a big green backpack on his back.
John's Navi Programmer-Man looked a lot like John physically but had a light armor that is green that covers his body completely including the head and eyes.
Virina was inside John's PET with P-Man.
"Good thing we found you Virina so I could give you the programs. They will be useful in the tournament I think." P-Man said.
Virina nodded. "You're probably right P-Man since I can't use chips, so I got these instead. Thank you."

Two other Net Battlers entered the building, searching around.
"So.... This is the place the officials want me to check out...." one said.
"Cool. It's big too." the other said.
".... Ya think? Seriously Ryan, don't always say the obvious all the time!" the one snapped.
"Sorry Steve, habit." Ryan said.
"Just because I took you along doesn't mean get to make our own decisions." Steve said. "If you want to be an official, do as I say!"

"Everyone, enter the stadium to await your sign up." a voice over the intercom said.
"Yeah, it's finally started!" Koji shouted in glee while rushing towards the stadium. Chaud restrained from running like a fool, and instead walked quickly, but still maintained his air of coolness...
"How'd all of you get here?" Spotty asked, joining the group.
"My jet for most of us. Don't now how a few of them got here." Brandon said.
"Did you guys get invited by some weirdo in a cloak?" Pride asked.
"A Navi in a cloak, yes." Snippy said.
"No, we were invited by a human." Taylor said.
"That's odd." Chaud said. "Who the heck could be behind this?" Chaud lost his serious look when he saw Koji just looking excited as usual about the tournament.

A voice hurled across the stadium. "The 1st battles begin now!"
"Where's the list?" Lan asked.
"There!" Treble pointed to a huge screen above.
There were small pictures all over the screen, a line up of Net Battlers of all kinds, there must have been over 100 people.
"So who's first?" Jane asked.
"Hey, there's Brandon!" Morgan pointed out.
Brandon's picture was next to Koji's.
"All Net Battlers enter the assigned stadium." a voice over the intercom said.
"It says you 2 are in stadium 4." Jake said.
"ALRIGHT!! THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!!" Koji yelled while rushing towards the battle arena. He tripped, and fell on his face. "Ow, that hurt. Wait, the match!!" He quickly jumped up and started running again.
"What a loser..." Chaud thought.
"I have to face that guy?!" Brandon thought to himself, looking at Koji, trying hard not to laugh.
"Hey, Dora's on there." John said, looking up at the chart.
"Yes! I get to fight early!" Dora cried.
"I hope the system is protected against Dark Chip data....." John muttered to himself.
"Who am I against?" Dora asked. "Some girl named Ailias?"
"Oh boy...." Mr. Dark Chip gulped. "Poor girl, knew her well."
"Hey, there I am." Anthony said. "I'm against John?"
"I hope my sister won't kill her opponent..." John thought to himself.
"Hey, I'm up there!" Dennis said, then he saw who he was up against. "I'm against Lynn?"
Sara sighed. "You entered?" she asked her little sister.
"I wanted to try!" Lynn said.
"Hey, there I am!" Heather cried. "I'm up against some guy named Ryan?"
Ryan stepped up to Heather. "Prepare to be PWNED!"
"... Do you have to say that?" Steve asked with a sweat drop on his head.
"Umm... Yeah." Ryan said with a smile.
"You're the one going down!" Heather cried.
"Now who am I against?" Steve asked, looking at the board. "Who's Mute?"
Mute stood next to Steve, not saying a word of course.
"Oh, it's you." Steve said, looking at the picture on the board. "I should warn you.... I'm the son of the head official.... You're going to lose..."
Speakie appeared on Mute's shoulder. "And I should warn you that you're fighting a Cyber Pirate! Squawk!!"
"Why is the Navi talking for the Operator?" Steve asked. "What's wrong? Afraid to talk?"
"No, he can't talk." Spotty explained. "His tongue was cut out long ago."
Steve made a disturbing face, and then turned to Mute. "Very well, let's get it over with then."
"I should be up there..." Chaud said, going over the board.
"You're against me." Taylor said. "Me and Zippo are a fire hot team, you'll never break us."
"We'll see about that." Chaud said.
"So who am I against?" Treble asked.
Shori took about 5 minutes to smile at Treble. "Me...."
"Oh boy, why did I end up with the slowmo?" Treble asked.
"Okay, where am I?" Daniel asked.
"FINALLY DANIEL YOU ARE GOING DOWN!!!" Keith jumped into the room, pointing a finger at Daniel.
"You are kidding me right?" Daniel asked, almost ready to burst out laughing. "How many times can you be defeated in a day?"
"I will not go down!" Keith declared. "I will defeat you and win back Nicole!"
"WHEN WILL YOU GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL THAT I HATE YOU?!?!?" Nicole shouted very loudly.
"Nicole, you're against Billy Boy." Siya pointed out.
"Oh, that will be an easy match." Nicole said.
"Valiya, am I on there?" Sara asked.
"Yeah, you're against someone named Sally." Valiya said.
"I wonder who she is?" Sara asked.
"And I'm against?" Spotty asked.
"Teal? How'd she get up there?" Elie asked.
"Oh well, she's on there." Spotty said.
"Mom, you're against someone named Clair." Treble said.
"I am?" Elie asked. "Aw, who cares. I'll get through this thing in no time, don't worry."
"Now where am I?" Pride asked, then she turned to Raika, who was blushing. "What's wrong?"
"...... You're against me...." Raika said, pointing to the board.
"Oh, I am..." Pride said. "Well, let's make it a good match!"
"Where am I?" Snippy asked, then he saw. "Oh, I'm against Vanilla Port?"
Port's eyes widen. "Yes! Now I'll show you who the true man for Lizzie is!" he cried, glaring at Snippy.
"In your dreams." Snippy snapped.
"Am I there?" Morgan asked.
"Yeah, we're against Jelloman." Marino said.
"Oh boy, that won't be easy..." Morgan said.
"Where am I at?" Lizzie asked. "Oh, there I am. Against Botos...."
"Why did he enter?" Mary asked.
"So am I up there?" Blaze asked.
"Yeah, you're against me." Jane said.
"How about me?" Jake asked.
"It looks like we're against Ferham..." Featherman said.
"So this is the board?" Alex asked.
"Yes." Andrew nodded. "It appears you're against someone named Teisel and I'm against a person named Tron."
"That's us!" Tron cried.
"You'll feel the power of the Cyber Pirates!" Teisel cried.
"Where am I?" Amy asked, looking over the list. "Oh, there I am..... I'm against Mr. Famous?"
"He entered?" Chaud asked, slapping himself in the forehead.
"It never hurts to train a little." Mr. Famous said, standing behind them.
"Ah, I'm on there too." Mr. Blue Nose said. "I'm up against... Yuna?"
"Am I on there?" Lan asked.
"You're against..... Me..." Mayl said.

Chapter Three: The 1st Battle, and the Trap!!
"Well, you ready?" Koji asked, he faced his opponent with a cheerful smile across the stadium. "Alright, get ready to get your head data served right to you!"
Brandon just ignored what Koji said. "Yeah right. I'll be winning this." he said calmly.
Koji quickly pulled out his PET. "JACK IN, DAVEN! EXECUTE!!"
Inside the battle computer, Daven was waiting on his surfboard. "Brandon, why does that name sound familiar?"
Brandon connected his PET. "Jack In, ImPal!"
ImPal appeared in front of Daven, he blinked twice when he saw his opponent. "Daven?"
Daven looked up. "Oh, ImPal, it's you?"
"So you entered the tournament too?" ImPal asked. "Small world..."
Daven grinned. "Well, don't expect me to go easy on you..." He disappeared from his surfboard, and reappeared over ImPal's head with an Aqua Sword. "HAI-YAH!!"
"And I don't plan to go easy either." ImPal said, as he disappeared before Daven hit him.
ImPal reappeared, his form had changed. "Call me StarPal." he said, firing a ball of electricity. "You can't beat my Star Power."
"We'll see about that. Anti Damage, Battle Chip in!" Koji threw a chip into his PET.
Daven was instantly replaced with a Megaman Doll, and various shuriken were aimed at StarPal.
"Time to go to Hydra Form!" Koji cried.
StarPal easily dodged the shuriken, and launched a storm of electric energy balls, trying to prevent Daven from transforming.
However, Daven had transformed quickly enough to create various water clones. While he hid, the various energy electric balls only hit his clone, leaving him undamaged. He rushed up, and took out his blade.
"EAT ICE!!" Daven shouted while swinging his sword.
A wave of ice was shot right at StarPal. The ice struck StarPal, but went right through him.
"What the hell?" Daven asked, shocked.
Suddenly, StarPal appeared behind Daven. "Like my illusions? ImPerial Sword!" StarPal slashed his sword while behind Daven.
"Did I ever tell you that he can make various clones?" Koji remarked.
StarPal had slashed one of Daven's other water clones.
"Oh come on!!" Brandon shouted.
Daven was actually behind the real StarPal, and had a fully charged Ice Orb. "TAKE THIS!" he pressed it against StarPal, and he turned into ice instantly.
"Got ya!" Koji cried.
"Wrong again." Brandon joked.
The StarPal that was struck disappeared. StarPal appeared far away behind Daven.
"Who said he only made two?" Koji asked.
Another Daven struck StarPal with another Ice Orb. Again, it was a fake.
"This is getting old..." the real StarPal said, who was high above the fight.
The real Daven was right next to him. "You're telling me.. Wait, aren't I supposed to be fighting you... Um... HAI-YAH!" He took out his sword and went into a battle pose, letting his water clones disperse.
StarPal blocked the slash easily, then reversed his flying stance and used the other half of his sword to slash Daven.
Daven was able to block it using the water from below. He then used his sword to try to get another attack in.
Daven was busy fighting StarPal in a sword match. They seemed evenly matched in Daven's opinion, as Daven nor StarPal could hit the other.
"That's it!" Koji cried. "Water Seed, battle chip in! DOWNLOAD!!"
A water seed appeared in Daven hand, and he threw it at StarPal. The water seed fell to the ground, and poof! Instant water advantage for Daven. Before StarPal could even blink, Daven had him trapped in a large amount of water.
"Well, my scan says you're the real one. Oh, and don't even bother trying to escape. That will hold you for a pretty long time." He held his sword to StarPal's neck. "Surrender or be deleted."
"You're a fool Daven. Beast Out!" StarPal said.
The power that emitted from StarPal blew the water cage away.
StarPal had changed shape once again, now as a beast. "Tigris is hungry..."
"You're a fool as well, thinking I wouldn't have an ace up my sleeve." Daven said.
Koji smiled. "Ready, Daven?"
"Sure am!" Daven said.
"SPIRIT OVERFLOW!!!"
A brilliant blue aura surrounded Daven, making his fins even longer and sharper, and making a slight blue aura surround him. Daven turned his whole right arm into a huge water claw, grabbed StarPal, and slammed him into the ground. A huge crater was left where the impact was, and Daven rushed to attack him once more.
Daven performed some hand-seals, and restrained StarPal from escaping, at least for the moment. Daven quickly landed down, making sure it was the real StarPal, and placed his sword against StarPal's neck.
"You lose." Daven said, smiling.
"You still don't get it." StarPal said. "I'm not even your opponent anymore. I said Tigris was hungry, and he's come to eat."
Daven was then struck to the far side of the arena by a giant paw.
Daven flipped back to his feet, and slashed the paw up at light-speed. He then started rushing towards StarPal.
"I don't care what you say!" Daven shouted. "The board says ImPal versus Daven, and it's StarPal versus Daven! If I don't win, Koji's never gonna be able to show his face again if I lose to someone like you!!"
Daven jumped up, and created 20 water clones. They all proceeded to attack Tigris, while Daven engaged in battle with StarPal.
"Poot fool. You are going to lose this fight." StarPal said.
Tigris shot flames at the clones, evaporating them.
"Wanna beat?" Daven appeared behind StarPal.
"How did you?" StarPal cried.
"Program Advance: Fire Sword, Aqua Sword, Elec Sword!!!" Koji threw the 3 chips into his PET.
SLASH! BASH!! The force of the attack cause StarPal to revert back to ImPal.
"Okay, you asked for it!!!" ImPal growled.
"Ready to give it your all?" Daven asked.
"Paladin Cannon Omega Burst!" ImPal fired a more powerful blast than before at Daven.
Daven leapt out, throwing blue orbs at ImPal.
BOOM! A large explosion between the conflicting powers of both Daven and ImPal causing a huge blast of smoke, no one could see either Navi.
Koji and Brandon held their breaths, waiting impatiently to find out who was the winning.
"DOUBLE K-O!!! BOTH LOSE!!!!" a voice hollered through the stadium.
The smoke cleared, and both Navis fell through a trap door. At the same time, trap doors opened under Koji & Brandon.
"What the f...." Koji couldn't finish his sentence because he fell.
"WHAT?!" Brandon screamed as he fell through.
Xellious was the only one that had watched the match, the battle arena had been closed off to the public. He clapped while laughing. "Nice battle...." he joked, then held up his PET. "Rezo, be sure to look over those 2... They might be useful..."
Rezo bowed. "Yes sir. Do you think they could be the possible ones you are looking for?"
Xel smiled. "It's possible.... Only one way to find out. Besides, there's plenty more where they came from..... The fun has only just begun...."
Chapter Four: The Queen of Dark Chips and the Program Battle!
Dora stepped into the stadium, she looked around for her opponent. "Okay, where is she?"
"She's a Solo Navi." Mr. Dark Chip said.
"Oh, then that makes sense." Dora said, plugging her PET into the machine in the room. "Hey, were is the audience?"
"I guess they decided to give you your privacy?" Mr. Dark Chip asked. "At least this way you don't have to worry about them noticing you using Dark Chips...."
Mr. Dark Chip appeared in the Battle Arena. Ailias stood in front of him.
"Long time no see." Ailias said with a smile.
"Um, Ailias...." Mr. Dark Chip said. "I'd Log Off if I were you...."
"Why?" Ailias asked.
"You don't know my Operator..." Mr. Dark Chip said.
"No, I never had the pleasure of meeting you." Ailias bowed. "Hello, I am Ailias, Data Navi of Black Earth. Mr. Dark Chip and I have worked together before."
"Nice to meet you too but can we get this fight over with?" Dora asked. "I got a match I want to see."
Both the Operator and Navi gave Ailias an evil smile. Ailias just starred at both of them, very confused.
"What are you doing?" Ailias asked.
"Nothing...." Dora said, returning her face to normal.
"If your wondering about the smiles it was a scare tactic but it obviously didn't work." Mr. Dark Chip explained. "Now lets start the fight, you go first."
"Oh, but you know I hate fighting..." Ailias said.
"Then why did you enter?" Mr. Dark Chip asked, looking annoyed.
"Because this poor guy in a red cape begged me to." Ailias said.
"Fine, I'll try to end this quick then...." Mr. Dark Chip said.
Dora just starred at Ailias, unable to believe any of what was going on, and just threw a chip into her PET.
"DARK SWORD!!" Mr. Dark Chip cried, a Dark Sword appeared on his arm, which glowed as he jumped into the air, ready to strike Ailias.
"EEEKKKK!!" Ailias cried, she ran from Mr. Dark Chip, who ended up crashing because he expected Ailias to stand still.
"What's wrong with you?" Mr. Dark Chip barked. "I was going to try to end this fast and painless!"
"You were going to stab me!!!" Ailias screamed.
"Not that hard, I was just aiming for your Navi Symbol so that it would force you to Log Out." Mr. Dark Chip explained.
"How can you do this?!?" Ailias screamed. "I thought we were friends!!!! And here you use Dark Chips on me!!"
"Um, Ailias, have you forgotten what I'm MADE OUT OF?!?" Mr. Dark Chip asked in an annoyed voice. "Or did you forget what my name is?"
"Still doesn't give you an excuse." Ailias said.
"Oh forget it, will you?!?" Dora snapped. "You'll never get it through that girl's head!"
"I guess you're right." Mr. Dark Chip said.
"So you won't fight me then?" Ailias asked, smiling.
"How thick can this girl get?" Dora asked herself.
"Dora, let's end this, fast." Mr. Dark Chip said.
"Couldn't agree more...." Dora said, slotting in 4 chips. "Dark Recovery! Dark Cannon! Dark Cannon! DARK SWORD!"
Mr. Dark Chip first shot the 1st cannon, then started screaming. "DARKCHIP RAGE! DOUBLE CHIP EFFECT!"
"What's he doing?!?" Ailias cried, as she had duck the first cannon shot.
2 Dark Swords appeared on Mr. Dark Chip's arms, he seemed to go berserk, slashing at Ailias like crazy.
"AAAIIEEEE!!!" Ailias cried, as she was slashed instantly, but she soon backflipped her way away from Mr. Dark Chip.
"I suggest you surrender now since Dark Chips aren't known for just knocking their opponent 'just' unconscious." Mr. Dark Chip warned.
"No, not until you stop using those evil chips!" Ailias screamed.
"Forget it then." Mr. Dark Chip said, he quickly ran up to Ailias and hit her in the head with his sword.
Ailias collapsed, then a black hole appeared under her, which she fell through and the hole disappeared.
"What was that?" Dora asked.
"I don't know...." Mr. Dark Chip said.

In the other Stadium, John & Anthony had just entered for their battle.
"Oh great, they don't even monitor these battles?" John asked with a sweatdrop on his head. "Whoever had the BAD luck of fighting my sister is toast by now."
"I have no idea what you're talking about...." Anthony said, jacking in his Navi.
"Nevermind." John said, plugging in his PET. "Please be careful when attacking since my Navi is NOT a combat navi."
"Then forfeit..." Anthony said.
P-Man appeared in front of Spearman. "You heard me Operator. PLEASE DON'T DELETE ME!!"
Spearman sighed. "I won't delete you, but I can't promise it won't be painful....."
"I'M NOT A DAMN QUITTER!!!" John screamed. "LETS FIGHT!"
"Hope he isn't going to do what I think he is going to do..........." P-Man said.
"Calm down buddy. Let's just have some fun." Anthony said.
"This won't be pretty......" Spearman said.
"Hopefully he won't activate his backpack if he loses.........." P-Man said. "And NO I'm not telling you what's in his backpack."
P-Man looked up to see Spearman's reaction, but Spearman had already disappeared from the area.
"Where'd he go?" P-Man asked.
"Do it." Anthony said.
Suddenly, P-Man was struck with several flaming shockwaves.
"ARGH!!!" P-Man whaled in pain. "Code.... Repair.."
1 and 0 surrounded P-Man and in an instant, his wounds were healed.
"Copy that Megaman." John said. "He is supposed to be strong."
P-Man nodded. "CODE OVERWRITE!"
P-Man's body changed. He suddenly looked a lot like Megaman!
"That won't help you." Anthony said.
Suddenly, P-Man was struck with a barrage of electrocuted shockwaves.
"Oh great..." John groaned.
P-Man fell down and reverted back to his normal form.
John started talking to himself. "Of course THEY will win their matches but I lose my first match! Dora has those chips and Viri has those programs but what do I have? I have the mind to make those programs and...."
Anthony just starred at John. "... That was easy"
"I TOLD YOU THAT HE ISN'T A COMBAT NAVI!" John spun around and hollered at Anthony.
"Then why did he enter the tournament?" Anthony asked.
"SINCE SOME OTHERS DID!" John snapped.
"So if they all jumped off a skyscraper, you would too?" Anthony joked.
"Oh that does it!!!" John screamed. "Come here so I can......."
John was interrupted. Suddenly, the floor fell out from under him. In a blink of an eye, John was gone!
Anthony looked at his PET. A trap door had caught P-Man as well!
"What just happened?" Spearman asked.
"I don't know...." Anthony said. "But whatever it is, I don't like it."

Chapter Five: The Star & the Slowmo
"Why did I have to end up against her?" Dennis asked himself, starring at Lynn. "Sara's going to kill me if I hurt her...."
"You ready to battle?" Lynn asked, she seemed excited.
"I'm as ready as I'm going to get...." Dennis groaned.
"Good!" Lynn smiled. "Let's do it, Kiya!"
Kiya wasn't as sure about this battle as Lynn was.
"Let's do our best." Paladinman said.
"Right." Kiya nodded.
"Okay, Air Shot, Battle Chip In!" Lynn cried, throwing a chip into her PET.
Kiya's arm transformed into a small gun, she fired a single shot at Paladinman.
Paladinman easily avoided it, and waited for Dennis's response.
Dennis quickly threw 2 chips into his PET. "Battle Chip, Sword, Sanctuary."
The battlefield suddenly turned into Holy Panels, then Paladinman's right arm changed into a sword as he charged towards Kiya.
"Star Shooter!" Kiya cried, shooting out rainbow-colored stars at Paladinman.
Paladinman slashed the stars in the half, then moved in close for a slash.
"Star Teleport!" Kiya disappeared.
"Go into Defensive Mode, Paladinman." Dennis said.
"Roger Dennis." Paladinman nodded.
Paladinman searched the area for Kiya, but she appeared behind him, kicking him upside the head.
"P-Buster!" Paladinman fired at Kiya, but Kiya teleported again.
Kiya then appeared in front of Paladinman, but this time he was ready for her, he jabbed his sword right into Kiya, then punched her back.
Kiya crashed to the other end of the battle arena, she slowly stood up.
"You can do it, Kiya!" Lynn cried.
"Star Heal!!" Kiya cried, a wave of rainbow stars surrounded her.
Kiya's wounds healed, but Paladinman was closing in on her while she was healing herself.
"Sword of Holy Land!" Paladinman cried.
A two-handed sword appeared in Paladinman's hands.
"Sonic Boom!!" Paladinman swung the sword and a sonicboom flew towards Kiya.
Caught off-guard, Kiya was hit hard, she was sent flying until she crashed to the ground.
"Kiya!!" Lynn cried.
"Paladin Cannon!" Paladinman cried, firing his cannon.
BOOM!!! Kiya was knocked down before she could get back up, she collapsed.
"Is it over?" Paladinman asked.
Suddenly, the a hole appeared under Kiya, as she fell through the hole closed.
"Kiya!!!" Lynn screamed. "What happened to her?"
Then a trap door opened under Lynn's feet, she fell through.
"Lynn!!!" Dennis cried. "But..... Why?"

Elsewhere, in another stadium....
"Jack.... In..." Shori said as she jacked Salabi into the Net.
"Why did I have to end up with her?" Treble groaned. "Let's do it, Axl!"
Axl nodded, he was already in the Net waiting for Salabi.
"Hey, I'm not a slowmo like my Operator." Salabi barked.
"Then prove it." Axl said.
"Use........" Shori tried to speak.
"Forget it, Shori." Salabi said. "Krystal Buster!"
Salabi fired at Axl, who easily avoided her shots.
"You need to work on your aim." Axl said with a grin. "Axl Bullets!"
Two hand guns appeared in Axl's hands, he fired rapidly at Salabi, hitting her each time.
"Barrier....." Shori said as she was inserting a chip into her PET.
A small barrier finally appeared protecting Salabi from further damage.
"Took you long enough." Salabi growled, the jewel on her head changed color to red.
Shori took about 5 minutes to speak. "Sorry....."
"Nevermind......" Salabi groaned.
"Well this is going to be easy!" Treble laughed.
"Spinning Crystal Kick!!!" Salabi cried, as she jumped into the air, hurling like a top trying to kick Axl.
"Look out!" Treble cried.
Axl pointed his guns right at Salabi and fired one large shot, it knocked Salabi down, she started dancing around funny, the jewel on her head was a spiral color.
"Too dizzy to fight..." Salabi said, she couldn't even walk straight.
"This is just WAY too easy." Axl laughed. "Axl Bullets!"
Axl fired once again at Salabi, he knocked her over with the shots, but then she jumped up and snapped to.
"Thanks. You just cleared my head." Salabi said, the jewel on her head changed to blue. "Crystal Beam!"
The jewels on Salabi shot out multiple lasers, each one hit Axl head-on.
"...... Why are you dizzy Salabi?" Shori had finally said something.
"That was 10 minutes ago!!" Treble screamed. "How slow can you get?!?"
"Beam Sword!" Salabi pulled out a sword from one of her jewels.
"Copy Shot!" Axl fired his Copy Shot at Salabi.
"What was that?" Salabi asked, making a face. "It didn't even hurt."
Axl's body changed shape into Salabi. "How about this?"
Salabi's jaw dropped. "I forgot you can change into other Navis."
Axl didn't say anything else, he charged in with Salabi's own Crystal Beam attack, firing it like crazy at Salabi.
In about 15 minutes, Shori finally spoke again. "How'd he change into Salabi?" she asked.
"Damn that girl's beyond help...." Treble thought to himself.
Axl now pulled out the Beam Sword from one of the jewels that was on him from taking Salabi's form, he jabbed the sword right into Salabi's Navi Symbol.
Salabi struggled to pull the sword out, but she collapsed, and a black hole swallowed her up.
"What the?!" Axl cried, landing near the spot where Salabi disappeared.
Treble looked up, Shori had also fallen through a trap door in the floor.
"I don't get it...." Treble said. "The losers fall through a trap door?"
"This tournament keeps getting stranger and stranger....." Axl said. "We better tell Spotty."
Treble nodded. "Yeah...."

But Spotty was busy with his own battle against Teal....
"Teal, what in the world was going on in your head entering this tournament?" Spotty asked.
"I just wanted to help..." Teal said.
"You're going to get deleted...." Bugger sighed. "Well, at least you ended up against me."
"So you'll let me win?" Teal asked.
"HELL NO!!!" Spotty growled. "I'm giving you a chance to give up!"
"Give up?!?" Teal asked, shocked. "But Mary will laugh in my face if I do that!"
"She'll laugh anyway if you get the crap beaten out of you..." Bugger pointed out.
"I can't just give in!" Teal yelled. "Come at me!"
"There's no use in trying to talk sense into her..." Bugger said. "What shall I do?"
"Beat some sense into her!" Spotty ordered.
A sword appeared in Bugger's hand. "With pleasure!"
Bugger charged in for a slash at Teal, but he missed as Teal had jumped when he got near.
"Where'd she go?" Bugger asked.
Teal landed on Bugger's head, then kicked him in the stomach, then she punched him twice in the face.
"HEY!!! Fight fair!!" Bugger yelled.
"I am fighting fair!" Teal protested. "You missed!"
Bugger growled and swung his sword around, but he kept missing Teal.
"Since when could that girl fight?" Spotty asked.
Teal then kicked Bugger in the back, now Bugger was ticked off.
"THAT DOES IT!!!" Bugger screamed. "I didn't want to do this, but you left me no choice!!!!!"
"Oh bugger..." Spotty groaned. "HEY! I thought we were going to save that for later!!!!!"
"NOW IS AS GOOD AS TIME AS ANY!!!!" Bugger screamed.
"He's lost it..." Spotty sighed.
"CYBER KRACKEN BEAST OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!" Bugger cried with all his might.
Bugger's shape changed. He grew large tentacles and a rainbow-colored orb appeared on his chest.
"What the?!?" Teal cried, stepping back a bit.
"We've been working on a new Beast Out for Bugger." Spotty explained. "Treble programmed it, isn't he a great kid? Takes after his mother..."
"Bloody hell!!!" Teal cried.
The tentacles wrapped around Teal, stopping her from running or attacking. Then the orb on Bugger's chest glowed and fired a huge beam right through Teal, knocking her out.
"Well at least the beastie came in handy!" Spotty smiled.
Then a trap door opened up under Teal, she fell through.
"What the?!?" Spotty cried.
Bugger changed back to normal. "I didn't do that...."
"Then who did?" Spotty asked, looking around.

Little did Spotty know that Xellious was watching him from above.
"Well, well, well...." Xel smiled. "Who would have known that you would end up here? Nice job, Rezo..."
A hologram of Rezo appeared on Xel's shoulder. "Thank you, master. I thought that once I noticed the data signal of Black Refractor had come to this island that perhaps Black Spotty was on board, and here it ends up that Lina Inverse was with him as well, or should I say Elie Inverse, as that's what she calls herself now."
Xel smiled. "Yes, dear Lina.... We still have a debt to pay to her, don't we?" he laughed.
"Quite true." Rezo said. "Should I do the honors now?"
Xel shook his head. "No, let's let her have a little fun for now. I like to watch Spotty when he's this clueless, it always amuses me."
"But are you sure that his children would enter the tournament?" Rezo asked.
"I'm sure of it." Xel said. "In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if SHE shows up....."
A sweatdrop appeared on Rezo, he had a worried face. "Let's hope that doesn't happen..."

Chapter Six: Lan Vs Mayl?!? Love on the Line?
"You've got to be kidding me..." Lan said, facing Mayl on the other side of the stadium.
"You think I like the arrangement?" Mayl asked.
"Do I have to fight?" Roll asked.
"Lan, can't we call it quits?" Megaman asked.
"NO!!!!" both their Operators screamed.
"I can't face Megaman!!!" Roll cried.
"This can't be good..." Megaman groaned.
"Okay, Jack In, Megaman! Power Up!" Lan plugged in his PET.
"We'll show you, Jack In, Roll, Power Up!" Mayl plugged in her PET.
Roll and Megaman appeared in the battle arena and starred at each other.
"I really don't want to fight you." Roll said.
"I don't want to fight Lan..." Megaman said.
"They really don't seem to want to fight....." Mayl said, looking at Lan.
A voice hurled in the stadium. "BATTLE OR BE DISQUALIFIED!!!"
"But.... I can't lose now!!" Lan cried. "Get in there, Megaman!"
"I don't think you're going to talk him out of it....." Megaman sighed. "I guess we have no choice...."
"Guess you're right..." Mayl sighed. "Roll Arrow, Battle Chip in!"
"Cyber Sword. Download." Lan threw the chip into his PET.
"I don't want to fight." Roll said.
"Oh boy..." Mayl sighed. "Now what?"
Xel appeared behind Lan, Lan was so busy, he didn't notice him teleport.
"Use this." Xel said under a black cloak to Lan, handing him a chip.
"What's this?" Lan asked.
Lan spun around, Xel was gone.
"I wonder who that was...." Lan said, as he didn't see Xel's face when he gave Lan the chip.
Roll threw a Heart Slash at Megaman while he countered with his MegaBuster.
"Oh well, let's try it." Lan said, slotting the chip into his PET.
BOOM! One of Megaman's shots got through and hit Roll.
"Ugh...." Roll said, landing on her back.
"Recover 150, Battle Chip In!" Mayl cried.
Just as Mayl entered the chip into her PET, sparks of energy crashed into Roll, attacking her.
"What happened?!" Mayl cried.
"What just happened?" Megaman asked.
"I don't know...." Lan said, shocked.
"Anti... Recover...." Roll barely said as she passed out.
Megaman ran to Roll's side. "ROLL!!!!!" he screamed.
Roll didn't speak. Her body turned funny colors.
"Roll!? Roll speak to me!!" Megaman cried.
"ROLL CANNOT BATTLE... THE WINNER IS MEGAMAN" a voice hurled in the stadium.
Maylu sighed. "You won, Lan."
"Hey, neither one of us really wanted to battle...." Lan said.
Roll still didn't speak, but something forced her to appear to log out.
"ROLL!!!" Megaman screamed.
"Where'd Roll go?" Lan asked, then he looked up.
Mayl fell through a trap door!
"MAYL!!!!!" Lan cried.
"Something's really unusual about this tournament, Lan." Megaman said.
"Yeah, but what?" Lan asked.

Meanwhile, Chaud just began his match with Taylor. Chaud didn't say anything, he just jacked Protoman in.
"Jack In, Zippo!!" Taylor jacked Zippo in.
Zippo smiled when he saw Protoman. "Hey Protoman, haven't seen you since the Dark Chip problem."
Protoman said nothing as he thrust his sword forward. Though he may be a friend, it was the battle of the fittest, and the ones who talk about old times aren't the fittest.
"Hey whoa!" Zippo cried, jumping back. "Man, you're too serious..."
"Protoman, execute plan Alpha." Chaud said.
"Yes sir." Protoman calmly responded.
Chaud inserted a Area Steal chip, and Protoman disappeared, reappearing behind Zippo.
"Tough luck." Protoman said while thrusting his sword forward.
Zippo backflipped and leapt up onto a pillar in the battle arena. "Wanna try that again?"
Protoman didn't say anything as he just stood there, waiting for Zippo's next move.
"Well, I'll begin." Taylor said. "Zippo, you know what to do."
Zippo nodded. "Roaring Flame Tornado!!"
Zippo fired two huge bursts of flames from his busters, the flames turned into a cyclone of fire that crashed into Protoman.
"Got him!!" Taylor cried.
"Ready for more, Protoman?" Zippo asked.
Protoman was still recovering from Zippo's last attack. "Well, Chaud?" he asked.
Chaud grinned. "Let's fight fire with fire..."
"That was what I was thinking." Protoman summoned a motorcycle with flame patterns on it. "Now, FIRAL FORM!!"
A red light shone from Protoman, when it faded a different Protoman was standing there. He had four metal wings ending in wheels, and there were small wheels at the soles of his feet. Also, a flame pattern was spread throughout his body.
"TAKE THIS!!" Protoman shouted while shooting a huge ball of fire at Zippo.
Zippo turned his head up towards the flame, which absorbed it. "Ha! Take that! FLAME EXPLOSION!!!" he fired the flame off the top of his head, combined with the ball of fire that Protoman had sent all towards Protoman.
"This was too easy. Protoman, initiate Plan Omega." Chaud ordered.
Protoman nodded. "Roger that."
Protoman took the force of the blast, and absorbed it. Suddenly, his wings started moving in a circular form, and it soon became a fire disc, albeit one moving at 100 mph.
"Now, try to dodge this!" Protoman cried.
Protoman threw his flame disc at Zippo, and then ran straight towards his from behind with his katana aimed right at Zippo's back.
"OH BUGGER!!!" Zippo let out a cry as he was slashed.
"GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!!!" Taylor screamed, because Zippo had blown out his flame using the Flame Explosion.
Protoman jumped up, and the fire disc rammed into Zippo, forcing him to the ground where he fell through a trap door.
"That was easy..." said Chaud out loud. "Whew, that was close." he muttered under his breath.
"NO FAIR!!!" Taylor screamed as he fell down the trap door.
"It appears that the suspicions where correct Chaud sir." Protoman said.
"Yes, but what are these people after?" Chaud asked. "Why gather this many Net Battlers?"

Chapter Seven: Revenge of the Moron
"I'm waiting for you, Keith." Daniel said, tapping his foot. "I'm ready for battle."
"THIS TIME I'LL KILL YOU!!!" Keith declared, plugging his PET in.
"Jack-in, D-Nightmare, OBLITERATE!!" Daniel cried.
D-Nightmare was jacked in, he appeared and faced Katzy and Spider.
"Wait a second.... You both were deleted!" D-Nightmare cried.
"Keith restored our data." Katzy explained. "So now I travel with him."
"As for me...." Spider said. "Dark Chips keep Navi Data a little more together in the Net, so the data can be retrieved.... Keith restored it, after all he still has a few chips left from the Dark chip incident...."
"D-Nightmare, destroy them!" Daniel ordered.
D-Nightmare had a feral look in his eyes. "My pleasure."
"2 Against 1." Keith pointed out. "The odds are against you."
"MEOW!!" Katzy growled.
"Let's finish what we started...." Spider said.
"The odds are against you. NIGHTMARE ARMOR, ENGAGE!!" D-Nightmare cried.
D-Nightmare was surrounded by a globe of darkness. When the globe dissipated, D-Nightmare had new armor on. The armor was crimson in color. His Trigger Blade was gone, having been turned into an energy blade that's mounted on his right arm. The Buster on his left arm had turned into a massive Gatling Buster Cannon.
Katzy leapt into the air, her claws out ready to slash, while Spider threw 20 explosive cards at D-Nightmare.
"TRIGGER BLADE, EXTEND!!" D-Nightmare yelled.
A massive, black energy blade shot forth from the blade projector on his right arm. He used it to deflect Katzy's attack while blasting Spider's cards with his Gatling Buster Cannon. Some of the shots from his Gatling Buster Cannon hit Spider in the face.
"You're not even worth my time!" D-Nightmare said. "CATACLYSMIC MACHINEGUN!!"
The Gatling Buster Cannon began firing rapidly, striking Spider multiple times.
Spider grabbed Katzy and threw her into D-Nightmare's face, she started clawing like crazy.
D-Nightmare then sliced Katzy with his energy-based Trigger Blade, causing Katzy to fall through the black hole that appeared on the ground.
"Now it's you and me, Spider." D-Nightmare said.
"Dammit... We'll have to get you next time." Spider cursed.
"THERE WON'T BE A NEXT TIME!!!" D-Nightmare proclaimed, slicing Spider with his Trigger Blade.
"Tri Card!" Spider cried, hurling a card into D-Nightmare's face that exploded.
"NOW YOU'LL PAY!!" D-Nightmare snarled. "Gatling Buster!"
D-Nightmare fired at Spider, who now thought twice about what he just did. The black hole that took Katzy appeared, Spider saw his chance and took his escape.
"Cowards...." D-Nightmare said.
"YOU MORONS!!!" Keith screamed as he fell down the trap door.

Xel just sat back, busting a gut laughing at all the battles. "This is just too much!! I can't believe all these idiots!!!"
"You're having far too much fun with this, Master Xellious...." Rezo said.
"Oh come now, what's wrong with having a little fun?" Xel asked.
"But what about the item we're searching for?" Rezo asked.
"When the time comes, we'll find it." Xel said with a smile. "For now let's make sure the ones in the basement are comfortable...." he laughed evilly as he teleported from the area.

Down in the basement where the trap doors lead, all the Operators that had lost had fallen and crashed down there. Mechanical arms had taken their PETs when they were falling.
"Where are we?" Mayl asked as she came to.
"Where am I?" Koji groaned.
"Where... Am... I??" Shori asked.
"That hurt!!" Keith growled as he crashed on his head.
"YIKES!!!" Taylor cried, as he fell onto Brandon.
"WHAT?!?" Brandon yelled, kicking Taylor off of him.
"That hurt..." John said.
"This is scary..." Lynn said.
"Guys, are you okay?" Koji asked.
"I'm okay." Maylu replied.
"I think.... I'm... Okay...." Shori said about 20 minutes after Koji asked.
"HELL NO!!!" Keith screamed. "I landed on my head!!!"
"Well at least no damage was done then." Taylor remarked.
"I'm fine." Brandon said.
Koji grinned. "Well, let's look at the bad things and the good things. The bad things are that we don't know where we are, we don't have our navis, we don't have food or water, and we're all in a deep trap hole and I'm claustrophobic." Koji pointed out. "The good thing is that we all aren't hurt and we…. Um… …. … Have each other?"
Maylu whacked Koji in the head. "WHAT'S SO GOOD ABOUT THAT?!?"
"Guys, I think we should see if we can get out." Brandon said.
"Like how?" Taylor asked.
Koji started twitching. "Well, maybe some people should go out to try to find some more room. I'm claustrophobic.... NOO!! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! I NEED AIR!!" he started hyperventilating.
"Well I don't like it down here anymore than you do." Mayl remarked.
Xel floated above them, unnoticed because of how dark it was in there. He tried hard not to laugh too loudly.
"Okay, what SICK TWISTED MORON is behind this?" Taylor asked.
"... Wow, it's.... Dark in here..." Shori said.
"She only just realized this NOW?!?" Mayl asked with a sweatdrop on her head.
"So now what?" Lynn asked.
"Did you hear something?" Taylor asked.
"Like what?" Keith growled.
"......" Shori didn't speak.
"Must be hearing things..." Taylor said.
Koji was banging the walls. "What is is? I NEED MORE SPACE!! I CAN'T BREATHE!!!!!!!!!!"
"I didn't hear anything..." Brandon said.
John hit Koji on the head. "While it is unlikely does anyone here have a highly efficient power source or something with A LOT of stored electricity?"
"Yes." Brandon said.
"Good. Whatever it is I hope it can power this up." John said as he put down his bag and pulled down most of it revealing a Portable Dimensional Area Generator completely.
"Why?" Brandon asked. "And what is that?!?"
"Its a Dimensional Area Generator." John answered. "With it powered anyone with a Synchro Chip or something else with Synchro Ability can Cross Fuse and blast us out of this place."
"I highly doubt that will work." Brandon said.
"As long has whatever you have has enough power it will." John said. "I can bend the Dimensional Area into a tunnel that we can dig out."
"It won't work." Brandon said.
Koji was still going crazy when he stopped to say something. "If you haven't noticed, we don't have our Navis. They all fell down into a Cyber Tunnel. I NEED AIR!!!"
"Shut up, will you?!?" Brandon yelled. "Besides the fact that our PETs are gone!!"
"Oh, I was hoping that someone still had one." John said. "Well, then we're doomed."
Koji went even more crazy, jumping around and driving everyone nuts.
"WILL SOMEBODY KNOCK HIM OUT ALREADY?!?" Keith growled.
Xel was laughing so much, he fired a small beam from the orb on his staff that hit Koji in the head, knocking him out.
"Thank you." Brandon said, then he thought about what happened. "WHO DID THAT?!?"
"Wasn't me." Mayl said.
"As much as I wanted to punch his lights out, wasn't me." Keith said.
"Some weird red light hit him." Lynn said.
"Yeah, but from where?" Taylor asked.
Brandon searched around, he couldn't see much and Xel had already teleported out.
"There's something funny going on here...." Brandon said.

Chapter Eight: The Pirate Battles! Don't Mess With the Girls!!!
"So where is this Elie Inverse?" a girl with light blue hair, a navy blue jacket over a light blue shirt, black pants and a dark blue hat with felt white wings on it stepped into the stadium.
"Right here." Elie answered in the battle machine. Elie opened her eyes. She had fallen asleep while waiting. "Uhm... About time....." she muttered, yawning.
"Oh, you're a Navi?" the girl asked. "I'm Clair, you're opponent."
"So where's your Navi?" Elie asked.
Clair plugged in her PET. A Navi with a light blue armor suit with white wings, various shades of blue on different parts of suit appeared.
"My name's Windchime." the Navi said.
"Get ready to lose!" Clair declared.
"Why are you sure about that?" Elie asked to Clair, raising an eyebrow.
"Because we're ready to win!" Windchime said. "I hope you will Log Out so that I don't have to hurt you."
Elie just starred at Windchime. "Sorry, I'm a stubborn person..."
"That will be your downfall!" Clair said. "We always look on the bright side of things!"
"We're always cheerful no matter what!" Windchime said.
"These idiots could make anyone ill..." Elie muttered to herself, cracking her knuckles.
Elie placed her hands together, a small ball of red light appeared. "Oh, source of all power, light which burns beyond crimson, let thy power gather in my hand."
The light red ball became bigger between Elie's hands.
"FIREBALL!" Elie shouted, hurling the ball at Windchime.
"YIKES!!!" Windchime cried, as he caught on fire from the blast.
Elie tried hard not to laugh as Windchime was running around on fire like an idiot.
"Aqua Tower, Battle Chip in!" Clair threw a chip into her PET.
The large water tower crashed onto Windchime, extinguishing the fire.
"Time for action!" Windchime cried. "Wind Blast!"
Windchime shot out a blast from his buster. A cyclone appeared, the win viciously swept up Elie.
"Got her!" Clair cried.
A giggle came from the cyclone. Some rays of white light bursted out from the cyclone, as it dissipated with a loud explosion.
Elie smiled, a dull wind still blowing around her. "I didn't even use the minimum percentage of my power to get free." she said
Clair & Windchime's jaws dropped. They had never seen anything like Elie before.
Elie sighed. "Well if you're going to just stand there... AQUA CREATE."
Elie raised a hand and a wave of water appeared from nowhere, crashing into Windchime.
"Barrier, Battle Chip in!" Clair threw another chip into her PET.
Windchime was protected from the massive water attack, but Elie was ready with another spell.
"MONO VOLT." Elie grinned as she raised her hand to the sky.
A lightning came from the sky and hit Windchime, paralyzing him badly.
Elie's body started to glow white. "Wind, crimson flame. Grant the power of thunder to my hand..... DIGGER VOLT."
Suddenly, a big lightning fell from the sky and hit Windchime straight on, and knocked Windchime off his feet.
"Now I'll be the one advising you." Elie said, stepping near Windchime. "Log Out, or I'll have to start using spells that take effort...."
Clair's eyes widened. "She's been holding back all this time?!?"
"I give!!!!!" Windchime hollered. "You're crazy!!!"
Elie just smiled. "You made a wise choice, but call me crazy again and I'll prove your point." she held a Fireball in her hand.
Suddenly a black hole appeared under Windchime and swallowed the Navi up. Clair fell through a trap door.
"What the hell?!?" Elie cried, her eyes widened. "What happened to them?"

"Well where is she?" Mr. Blue Nose asked, looking for his opponent.
"She's here." Scarface said. "I guess she's a Solo Navi."
"Hey, aren't you one of those Cyber Pirates?" Yuna asked.
"Yes, why?" Scarface asked.
"Can't we just be friends instead of fighting?" Yuna asked.
Elnar came and hit Yuna in the head. "YUNA!!! This is battle! You must fight!!!"
"But what if I don't want to?" Yuna asked.
Elnar transformed into the Sword of Light. "JUST DO IT!!!!"
"Oh now this is TOO EASY!!" Scarface laughed. "She doesn't even want to fight? I'll cream her in 10 seconds flat!"
"Are you sure you don't want to just quit so that I don't have to hurt you?" Yuna asked.
"Um, you could quit..." Mr. Blue Nose said.
"Sorry, no can do!" Elnar barked.
"All right, Elnar." Yuna said. "I can handle this. Light come forth!!"
The blue blade appeared on the Sword of Light. Yuna charged in for a slash. Scarface blocked with his sword.
"You stand no chance against me." Scarface said, as he punched Yuna back.
Then Scarface walked up to Yuna, picked her up and threw her down.
"Quit now so that I won't have to continue this." Scarface said.
"NEVER!!!" Elnar yelled. "Matrix of Light Robots come forth!!!"
"What the?!?" Scarface asked.
3 Navis appeared and knocked Scarface off of Yuna.
"You okay?" Martina asked.
"Yuna!" Erina cried.
"Hey, quit picking on a girl!" Jina yelled.
"HEY WAIT A MINUTE!!!!" Mr. Blue Nose screamed. "THIS ISN'T FAIR!!!"
"5 on 1 huh?" Scarface said. "I'll take you all on!"
"Oh we'll take you 1 on 1..." Elnar said, changing back into a Navi. "ELLINE ONLINE!!!"
The 4 Navis combined together into a large blue and white Navi. It was huge, 10 times larger than Scarface.
"Oh bugger...." Scarface gulped.
"Now it's 1 on 1." Elline said.
"Guys, I don't think you have to resort to this...." Yuna said.
"SHUT UP YUNA!!!" Elline screamed. "This is for your own good!"
"Hey, this can't be allowed!!!" Mr. Blue Nose cried.
"Well there's nobody watching and we weren't given a rule book so TOO BAD!!!!" Elline said. "Elline Blaster Final Strike!!!!!"
"HOLY CRAP!!!!!" Scarface cried, as he was blasted with the overwhelming attack that almost deleted him, but the trap door saved him.
"YOU CHEATED!!!!!" Mr. Blue Nose screamed as he fell through the trap door.
"Guys, that was a little over the top..." Yuna said.
"Yeah, but you won!!!" Elline said.

Nicole was ready and waiting to begin her battle, she quickly sent Siya into the Cyber World.
"Ready to lose?" Nicole asked, giving an evil grin to Billy Boy.
"Why out of all the people did I have to end up with her?!?" Billy Boy cried.
"Hey, what about me here?!?" Bola asked. "I'm the one that's going to get my butt kicked!"
"You bet you will!!" Siya grinned.
"Can I just give up now and avoid getting hurt?" Bola asked.
Siya looked thoughtful for a moment, then gave an evil smile. "Nah, I'll just end this quick!"
"OH BUGGER!!" Bola cried.
Siya held out her arms. A series of objects shot out, attacking Bola. Knifes, swords, bombs, weights and other crazy objects all slammed into Bola.
"Get out of range!!" Billy Boy cried.
Bola disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Where'd he go?" Nicole asked.
Bola appeared behind Siya, he tried to slash her right away.
Siya blocked with some claws that popped out of her arm, her other 3 arms punched Bola and threw him away.
"Dang she's tough for a girl!!" Bola cried. "Why did I have to end up with a monster?!?"
"MONSTER?!?!?" Siya growled. "DID YOU CALL ME A MONSTER?!?"
"Bad move..." Nicole laughed. "NEVER call her a monster...."
"But she's a Chinese Vampire!!!" Billy Boy cried. "It's the SAME THING!!!!!"
"Not quite." Nicole said. "Take it back or your Navi's dead...."
Billy Boy looked at the PET screen, Siya wrapped her two extra arms around Bola, choking him.
"OKAY!!!! I take it back!!!" Billy Boy screamed.
Siya threw Bola down, then place her hand on the ground. "Underground Burst!!!"
Large sword objects shot up from the ground, hitting Bola multiple times.
"I GIVE UP!!!" Bola cried, he jumped down the trap door as soon as it appeared.
"I'll go with you!!" Billy Boy cried, jumping down the trap door.
"That was too easy." Nicole laughed.
"Yeah, we should keep this up." Siya said. "We'll win this tournament in no time then!"

In one of the other mini stadiums, Mary was ready for battle.
"Let's hurry and get this show on the road!" Mary cried.
"Calm down, will you?" Lizzie asked, as she plugged in her PET.
Botos was shaking.
"What's wrong?" Mary asked. "You're not going to take my fun away, are you?!?"
"Can I forfeit?!" Botos asked.
"NO!!!" Mary yelled, jumping up and slicing Botos with her sickle.
Then Mary hit Botos with a series of punches and kicks, then lifted Botos up and threw him down the trap door in the Cyber World.
"That was a fast battle..." Lizzie said, almost ready to laugh.
"YES!!!" Mary cried. "BRING THEM ON!!!"
"This is going to end badly, I can tell...." Lizzie said.

Chapter Nine: The Video Game Navi
"Jack-In! Spellgirl! Execute!" Heather cried, plugging in her PET.
"Are you ready?" Ryan asked. "JACK IN! NINTENDOMAN, EXECUTE!"
"Dark Illusion!" Spellgirl cried, as she vanished.
"A teleporter?" Ryan said.
"Better make your move fast." Heather said, slotting a chip into her PET. "Bunny, Virus Chip in, download."
A Bunny Virus appeared, and it fired an electric trap at NintendoMan.
"Heh, prepared to be schooled!" NintendoMan cried. "Eat this! Massive Damage!"
NintendoMan jumped into the air, and fired off four controlerangs at the Bunny Virus. Then he shot off round after round after round of GBA Games around the area. Finally, his Wii Controllers on his back point at the virus and shoot lasers at it.
Spellgirl got hit by one of the games when she appeared.
NintendoMan saw his chance. "Heh... I hope you like pink!"
A small little pink virus appeared in front of Spellgirl.
"Oh, it's cute!" Heather said. "What is it?"
"His name is Kirby." NintendoMan explained. "And he's more than cute!"
Kirby opened his mouth wide, and took a deep breath in. Suddenly, Spellgirl felt like a strong wind was pulling her towards Kirby. Spellgirl was sucked into Kirby's mouth, which in a few second Kirby spat Spellgirl out, but then Kirby changed. Kirby was carrying a staff like Spellgirl. Then Kirby's body lit up and merged into NintendoMan.
"What in the world?!?" Heather cried.
"He just copied your Navi's abilities." Ryan said.
NintendoMan hurled a series of black balls of energy from every direction. The balls past right through Spellgirl like she was a ghost
"Smart move, but my own magic attacks won't work on me." Spellgirl pointed out.
"Very well then." NintendoMan said, pulling out a Super Scope 6, then fired it at Spellgirl, knocking her down.
"Man, you're one big Video Game Accessory Kit, aren't you?" Spellgirl asked.
"Duh, have you forgotten my name?" NintendoMan asked, pulling out a Zapper Light Gun and firing it.
Spellgirl blocked the blast from the gun, and stood and did nothing.
"So, your not going to attack eh?" Ryan asked. "We will though! TAKE THIS!"
NintendoMan nodded. "VIDEO GAME ATTACK!!!"
A pile of hundreds of video games landed right on Spellgirl, burying her in games.
"HA!! Take that!" Ryan laughed. "Survive the attack of every video game on every Nintendo System!!!"
"Damn this guy's crazy...." Heather grumbled.
NintendoMan pulled Spellgirl out of the pile of games, she appeared defeated.
"YEHAW! That was too easy." Ryan exclaimed.
"We'll win easily at this rate!" NintendoMan cried.
"Oh come on. You think I'm done?" Spellgirl asked. "I've got plenty of strength left. I'm just tired of fighting you."
Heather slapped herself in the forehead. "This happens every time...."
"Well if you're still up for a challenge..." NintendoMan said, hurling more GBA Games at Spellgirl.
Spellgirl leapt up into the air, dodging the games. "I said I'm bored fighting you, so I forfeit. You're no fun to fight anyway." Spellgirl said.
"Oh, so I win right?" NintendoMan asked.
"Yes, you id..." Spellgirl's words were cut off, she fell through a black hole.
At the same time, Heather fell through a trap door.
"Whoa...." Ryan said. "What happened to her?"

In another stadium, Morgan began her battle.
"So how bad is this Jello Guy anyway?" Morgan asked.
"BAD." Marino said. "You have no idea...."
Morgan plugged in her PET. "Well, here goes nothing...."
Marino appeared and faced Jelloman.
"Long time, no see." Jelloman said. "Sorry, but I'm going to have to beat you."
"You're really sure of yourself..." Marino said.
"Because I know I'll win." Jelloman said.
"Let's see about that." Marino said.
Jelloman charged in first with the huge blades on his arms. He tried to slash Marino, but Marino was too fast for him.
"Keep dodging him, you'll wear him out!" Morgan cried.
"We'll see about that." Jelloman said, as he pulled his arms together.
The blades on his arms formed together into a large spinning blade that he shot at Marino, which hit her hard and knocked her down.
"Oh bugger." Marino groaned.
Jelloman charged in and grabbed Marino by the face, and picked her up, then he slammed her down to the ground.
"Marino, you have to get away!!" Morgan cried.
Marino flung her leg up and kicked Jelloman's arm, which then he lost his grip on her. Marino flipped into the air.
"Marino Stamp!" Marino cried, as she kicked Jelloman in the face a few times.
Jelloman pulled himself up, only to find Marino circling him at a fast pace.
"Get him now!" Morgan cried. "Var Sword, Battle Chip in!"
The bright small sword appeared on Marino's right arm, which she jabbed into Jelloman's back. But she didn't move fast enough because Jelloman caught her left arm and threw her across the stadium.
"You'll have to do better than that." Jelloman said.
"Yo-yo, Battle Chip in!" Morgan threw another chip into her PET.
Marino dash up again, then shot the yo-yo out, it circled Jelloman, tying him up like a rope.
"You expect this to hold me?" Jelloman asked with a laugh.
"No, just this!" Marino pulled on the yo-yo, which spun Jelloman around while untying him quickly. Marino pulled him closer and started kicking him repeatedly.
"M-Cannon, Battle Chip in!" Morgan threw another chip into her PET.
Marino dashed up and shot the M-Cannon in Jelloman's face, he was too dizzy to notice her.
BOOM!! Jelloman crashed into a wall, Marino sped up and kicked Jelloman again with another Marino Stamp.
"Time to finish this!" Morgan cried. "3 Hi Cannon Chips in!"
"Program Advance: Z-Cannon 2!" Marino cried, firing the cannon at Jelloman.
Ka-boom!! Jelloman was defeated, he fell down the black hole.
"We did it!!" Morgan jumped up and down. "I can't wait to tell Brandon!!!!"
"I can't wait to tell ImPal!" Marino smiled. "We won, Morgan!!!!!"

Back down in the basement, the new arrivals were coming in.
Clair landed on Koji, Mr. Blue Nose landed on his nose, Billy Boy crashed on his head, and Heather landed on Brandon.
"How'd we get here?" Mr. Blue Nose asked.
"Simple, you lost." Keith said. "Moron."
"Um, you're one to talk." Taylor said.
"So you guys are down here too?" Mayl asked.
"Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on here?" Clair asked. "Where's my PET?"
"Gone, like the rest of ours...." John said.
"Ouch, why do they have to treat us like this?" Billy Boy asked.
".... More people?" Shori asked.
"Forgot it, Shori......" Mayl said.
"So how do we get out?" Heather asked.
"We've been trying to figure that part out for a while now..." Brandon said. "And we've had no luck."
"Without our Navis, we're doomed." Taylor said.
"Did I miss something?" Koji woke up. "Who knocked me out and who's on my back?!?"
"Sorry." Clair grumbled, getting up.
"Don't look at me." Brandon said.
"It was this weird red light." Lynn said.
"Red light?" Koji asked. "Oh darn, I was hoping this was all just one bad dream!!!"
"Sorry man, it's real." Brandon said.
"So are you idiots just going to stand around talking or are we going to make a plan to get out of this place?" Keith asked.
"Oh like you've been doing anything!!" Mayl barked.
"Yeah, so shut up!" Taylor growled.
"Anyone want to find a way out of here?" Clair asked.
"And where do you suggest we look?" Brandon asked.
"You have a better idea?" Mayl asked.
"Okay, can you guys like give me a few minutes without you all shouting?" John asked, going through his backpack. "I might be able to find out where our Navis are, but you have to be quiet so I can think!"
Mayl gave a glare at the others. "Sure thing even if I have to knock them out myself."
"What are you doing?" Taylor asked.
"Um, don't ask." John said. "If I explained it to you, your brain would most likely explode."
"Hey! I'm not Keith!!" Taylor snapped.
"WHAT?!?" Keith screamed.
"Well we all know that's true!" Brandon said.
"WHY YOU!!!" Keith went to punch Brandon, but got knocked over by Koji who was having a fit again.
Mayl clubbed Koji in the head.
"So who are you guys?" Clair asked.
"I said I need quiet!!" John screamed. "Now let's see here....."

Chapter Ten: Unfair Battles and Hidden Dangers!
"So you ready, boy?" Speakie asked, as Mute plugged in his PET.
"The question is are you ready?" Steve asked, plugging in his PET. "Alright then JACK IN! CAPEMAN, EXECUTE!"
"You don't look like much...." Speakie said.
"Sonic Rush!" CapeMan cried, teleporting behind Speakie and sending out mini sonic booms.
"Feather Blizzard!!" Speakie cried, as a series of feathers shot out from his wings, countering the sonic booms.
Mute threw in a Long Blade Chip into his PET. Speakie dashed forward for a slash at CapeMan.
Steve threw 3 chips into his PET. "Anti Sword, Battle Chip in, download. Invis, Battle Chip in, download. Mine, Battle Chip in, download."
CapeMan disappeared, Speakie had stopped before Steve threw in the Anti Sword Chip.
"Great, now I can't use the sword..." Speakie groaned, disabling his sword.
"Now, attack!!" Steve cried.
"Roger that. ELECTRIC SONIC BOOM!" CapeMan cried.
"Feather Shield!!" Speakie cried, covering his body with his wings, which absorbed CapeMan's attack.
"This is guy is getting on my nerves...." CapeMan said.
"This should work..." Steve muttered to himself, slotting in a chip quietly.
CapeMan held his sword up and then plunged it towards the ground.
"What in the world is that bloody moron doing?" Speakie asked.
Suddenly, a tower of fire came up under Speakie's feet.
"Yep, he fell for it." CapeMan said.
"Too easy." Steve remarked.
But what Steve didn't know was that Mute had placed in a Life Aura Chip into his PET as the attack was about to hit, Speakie dashed out of the fire tower.
"Sky Attack!!!" Speakie cried, as he flew straight into CapeMan.
BOOM!!! CapeMan landed on the other side of the area.
Speakie went to land but he landed on the mine! KA-BOOM!!! Speakie was blasted into the air.
"We got him!!" Steve cried.
Mute smiled. He threw another chip into his PET.
"Fire Sonic Boom!" CapeMan hurled at Speakie.
"Feather Buster!" Speakie countered with a series of feathers shot from his buster.
"That does it, Fire Sword!" Steve threw another chip into his PET.
BZZZTT!!! A noise went through Steve's PET as a trap attacked CapeMan.
"Element Trap!!" Steve slapped himself in the forehead. "Dang it, why didn't I see that?!?"
"Squawk, because you're too naive!!" Speakie cried. "Sky Attack!!!!!"
Speakie flew up into the air, then bashed into CapeMan, but this time Speakie grabbed CapeMan and hurled him up into the air, then kicked him back down to the ground.
CRASH!!!!!!! CapeMan landed hard, he appeared defeated.
"Squawk!!!!" Speakie cried. "That'll teach you!!"
"Dang it." Steve grumbled, then the trap door opened up from under his feet.
CapeMan fell down a black hole.
"What the?!!" Speakie cried.

THUD!! Steve fell hard on the ground at the bottom of the trap door. BAM!!!
"What was that?" Brandon asked.
"AHHHH!!!!!!" Steve whaled in pain.
"What the bloody hell is wrong with you, boy?" Mr. Blue Nose asked.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow!!!!!!" Steve continued to scream.
"He won't answer us, so ignore him." Keith said.
"Will you guys quit yelling over there!?" John hissed.
"What was that noise.....?" Shori asked.
"I had a gun hidden in my shoe!!!" Steve yelled. "But the fall made it go off and shoot me in the foot!!!"
"Brilliant...." Brandon said.
"Why would you put such a dangerous thing in there?" Lynn asked.
"I'm an Official, DUH!!" Steve snapped.
"I don't like this guy...." Heather said.
"Anyone have a first aid kit?" Taylor asked.
"Down here?" Billy Boy asked. "You are kidding, right?"
"Any luck yet, John?" Mayl asked.
"No, so please quit bugging me." John said.

Back up in the stadium, Jake stepped in ready for his match.
"Let's get this started..." Jake said, plugging in his PET.
Featherman & Burstgirl appeared, facing Ferham.
"Wait, I thought this was 1 on 1?" Ferham asked, looking confused.
Featherman & Burstgirl suddenly fused together into 1 Navi, Skydive.
"And now it is 1-on-1." Skydive said.
"You're going down." Jake said.
"We'll see about that." Ferham said, cracking her whip.
Skydive made the first move, charging in on Ferham. Ferham just flew up and avoided Skydive, then whammed the Navi with her whip.
"Dragon Cannon!" Skydive cried, firing and destroying Ferham's whip.
"How dare you!!!" Ferham growled.
"Skydive Scorcher!!!" Skydive bursted into flames and slammed into Ferham.
CRASH!!! Ferham was thrown into a wall of the battle arena. She barely stood up a few seconds after the impact.
"You messed up my make up!!!" Ferham growled. "Now you're gonna PAY!!!!"
Skydive suddenly started laughing. Ferham's face was a mess.
"DON'T LAUGH AT ME!!!!!" Ferham hissed.
"It's kind of hard not to." Jake said in-between giggles.
Ferham was angry now, she charged into Skydive with her full body, the impact caused the Navi to split.
"Wow, I guess we underestimated her." Burstgirl said.
"I think we better finish this." Featherman said. "Quill Cascade!"
Burstgirl nodded, teaming up with Featherman and attacking Ferham. "Burst Flare!"
The 2 Navi continued to combine attacks while Ferham was down from her previous attack.
"Oh bugger." Ferham gulped as she was hit, then fell down the black hole.
"Where'd she go?" Burstgirl asked.
"I don't know." Featherman said.
"Who cares?" Jake asked. "We won, didn't we?"

Amy entered the next mini stadium, she faced Mr. Famous.
"Are you ready for this?" Mr. Famous asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be." Amy replied.
The 2 Jacked In their Navis. Fairygirl faced Gateman, Gridman, Punk & Kendoman.
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!!!" Amy screamed. "4 NAVIS?!?"
"If you truly wish to be a great Net Op, defeat all my Navis!" Mr. Famous said with a smile.
"You've got to be kidding...." Amy said.
Punk threw out 2 large objects that spun around with spikes, Kendoman charged after Fairygirl with his sword, Gridman kicked out a football towards Fairygirl, and Gateman just stood and watched.
"Hurricane Wave!" Fairygirl tried to block the attacks. "Hurricane Gale!"
But it was no use, Fairygirl was out-numbered.
"You know guys, Lord S will have our heads when we get back for fighting like this...." Gateman said.
"WHO CARES?!?" Punk snapped.
"Just letting you know...." Gateman said.
Gridman charged in for a tackle. Fairygirl still tried to protect herself, but Kendoman appeared behind her.
"You still have a lot to learn!" Kendoman said, knocking Fairygirl out by whacking her in the head with his sword.
Fairygirl collapsed and fell through the black hole.
"YOU DIRTY ROTTEN CHEATER!!!!!" Amy yelled all the way down as she fell through the trap door.
"If we keep this up, we'll win for sure!" Mr. Famous said.
"What's gotten into you guys?" Gateman asked. "What ever happened to fighting with honor?"
"Got deleted a long time ago with my sense of humor...." Punk replied.
"Honor? There's no honor in war!" Kendoman said. "She was poorly trained!"
"I do anything to win!" Gridman said.
"How'd I get messed up with these morons?!" Gateman asked with a sweatdrop on his head.

Chapter Eleven: Blind, Water, and the Basement!
Valiya lead Sara into the stadium, where she Jacked In Valiya right away.
A girl was running in, appearing late. She had red hair with a blue vest and blue boots.
"I hear footsteps..." Sara said.
"Your opponent is here." Valiya said. "That must be Sally."
"Sorry I'm late...." Sally said, catching her breath. "I'm Sally, nice to meet you."
Sally stepped up to Sara and extended her hand. Sara of course, was still looking straight ahead.
"I'm Sara." Sara said. "Let's have a good match...."
"What?" Sally asked, a little annoyed. "You don't want to shake hands?"
"Oh...." Sara said, extending her hand out to find Sally's hand.
"Are you okay?" Sally asked.
Sara was a little embarrassed, she finally found Sally's hand and shook it.
Then is dawned on Sally. "Oh, I didn't know you were..... Blind."
"Oh don't worry about it." Sara said. "It happens to me all the time."
Sally felt bad and walked over to her place and plugged in her PET. Her Navi appeared in front of Valiya.
"I'm Suilabi." the purple Navi with blonde hair said. She had a pink heart on her chest. "You can call me Sui."
"I'm Valiya." Valiya relied.
"Well, let's begin." Sally said, she looked at Sara wondering how a blind person could fight.
"Rainbow Sword!" Valiya cried, forming the rainbow rod in her hands.
Sui pulled out a sword from the heart on her chest. "Heart Sword!"
CLASH!! CLANG!!! The 2 Navis swung their swords at each other, neither one giving in.
"Heart Buster!!" Sui shot out a series of hearts at Valiya.
"Rainbow Laser!!" Valiya fired a laser beam that destroyed the hearts.
"You're not bad..." Sally said.
"You're not bad yourself." Sara replied.
"Heart Storm!!" Sui shot out a whirlwind of hearts.
Valiya couldn't see where Sui was in the heart storm. Sui appeared behind her and slashed her with the Heart Sword.
Valiya took bad damage, she held her right arm where she was slashed.
"You better heal yourself!" Sara cried.
Valiya nodded. "Rainbow Heal!" Valiya's body was covered in a rainbow light and her wounds were healed.
"WHOA!!" Sally cried. "Now that's something..."
Sui saw her chance and tried to go in for another slash, but Valiya got her Rainbow Sword ready and jabbed it into Sui.
"Rainbow Laser!!" Valiya shot out one more laser, this one did it!
CRASH!!! Sui fell down from the attacks, the black hole swallowed her up.
"Sui!!!" Sally cried, then the trap door opened from under her.
"What in the world?!" Valiya cried.
"What happened?" Sara asked.
"They're gone!!" Valiya cried. "Both of them are gone!!!!!"

Jane and Blaze entered the stadium.
"Hi Blaze." Jane said.
"Let's get started!" Blaze cried.
Aqua & Haloman entered the battle arena.
"Long time." Aqua said.
"Same here." Haloman said. "Let's begin."
"Aqua Buster!!" Aqua fired her water buster.
"Hand of Fate!" Haloman counted with a laser from his fist.
The two attacks collided into each other.
"Angel Staff!!" Haloman threw his staff towards Aqua.
"Aqua Hurricane!!" Aqua hurled the huge spiral of water that came crashing down on Haloman.
The attack had covered the area with water.
"Hand of Fate!" Haloman attacked again.
"Aqua Dive!" Aqua dove under the water.
"Where'd she go?" Blaze asked.
"You'll see." Jane smiled. "Now!!"
Aqua sprung up from the water and attacked. "Aqua Spiral!!!"
The 3 shots of powerful water blasts slammed into Haloman.
"Aqua Power Dive!" Aqua dove into Haloman and drug him underwater, she kicked him then back up, he landed on the ground.
"Finish this!!" Jane cried.
"Aqua Hurricane!!!" Aqua threw one more spiral of water at Haloman.
Haloman tried to use his Hand of Fate again, but he was hit by the water. BAM!! Haloman tried to pull himself up.
"Darn it! I can't use any more attacks!" Haloman muttered under his breath. "I guess I will prepare for defeat...."
Haloman tried to fire again, but Aqua was ready for him.
"Aqua Tower!" Aqua placed her hand on the ground.
A large water tower appeared and crashed into Haloman. Haloman collapsed and fell through the black hole.
"NO!!!" Blaze cried, falling down the trap door.
"Whew... We did it..." Aqua said, taking a deep breath.
"Yeah...." Jane said. "But what happened to Blaze?"

"Did you hear something?" Taylor asked.
"Again?" Keith growled. "You're still hearing things?"
"Shut up." Taylor snapped.
"This time I heard it." Mayl said.
"You guys have been down here a while, huh?" Heather asked.
"Um, yeah." Brandon said.
Keith huffed and stood near where they had fallen in. There was a noise that was getting louder.
"Now I hear it." Lynn said.
"Me too." Billy Boy said.
"What is it?" Clair asked.
"It's close, whatever it is." Mr. Blue Nose said.
CRASH!!! Both Blaze & Amy fell on Keith's head.
"Hey, I landed on something soft...." Amy said.
"Me too." Blaze said.
"GET OFF OF ME!!!!!!" Keith screamed.
"Hey, nice to see that you've join us." Brandon said.
"What are you doing here?" Blaze asked.
"Guess." Mayl said. "We all lost."
"And we're all trying to find a way out." Koji added.
"What's that noise?" Shori finally spoke.
"Damn, that girl's slow....." Brandon said with a sigh. "Girl, just don't bother!"
Steve tried to stand up, but fell back down. "OUCH!!!!"
"What's wrong with him?" Amy asked.
"Moron shot himself in the foot." Brandon said. "Ignore him."
"WHY YOU!!!!" Steve tried to get up to hit Brandon, but he hurt himself.
Then Sally joined them and landed on Taylor.
"Ouch, why am I suddenly a throw pillow?" Taylor asked.
"Because you're not much use for anything else?" Billy Boy asked.
"We're talking about Taylor, not Keith." Brandon pointed out.
"WILL YOU QUIT PICKING ON ME?!?" Keith snarled.
"Well then quit giving me reasons to make fun of you." Brandon said.
"WILL SOMEBODY GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!?!?!?" Koji screamed. "I can't take anymore!!!!!!!!!!"

Chapter Twelve: The Fight for Love
"YOU ARE GOING DOWN SNIPPY!!!!!" Vanilla Port hollered throughout the stadium. "Lizzie will be mine!!!"
"In your dreams, man." Snippy said, rolling his eyes.
"We'll see about that, fight me like a man!" Port drew his sword.
"HEY!!!! The Navis are supposed to do the fighting!!" Snippy yelled.
"Why waste time with such a worthless thing as our Navis fight?" Port asked. "This is a battle for the woman we both want! Fight me with all your strength and let the best man win!"
"Shut up and Jack In you moron." Snippy said, plugging in his PET.
"Fine, chicken." Port growled, plugging in his PET.
Unick & Ice Cream Man faced each other.
"Hey, I'd like an ice cream cone!" Unick joked.
"Will you shut up!?!" Ice Cream Man scolded. "This is a battle, no time for jokes!"
"Why not?" Unick asked. "This whole thing is STUPID."
"Then why are you bothering?" Ice Cream Man asked.
"Because Snippy is." Unick said. "My Net Op asked me to do whatever his son asked."
"Now who's the moron?" Ice Cream Man asked. "You're just being used in his love games."
"Well, you do know that Liz wants NOTHING to do with either of these bozos, right?" Unick asked.
Ice Cream Man nodded. "Yeah, but try getting that through their THICK SKULLS."
"That's asking for the impossible." Unick said.
"I agree." Ice Cream Man said. "I guess we should battle before they have a fit."
"True." Unick said. "You go first."
"Thank you. Ice Blaster!" Ice Cream Man fired an ice blast.
Unick slashed it in half. "Is that all you've got?"
"That's just a warm up!" Ice Cream Man cried. "Cream Attack!!"
Ice Cream Man shot out a messy glob of cream that covered Unick. Unick couldn't move.
"He's paralyzed, you'll never win now!" Port declared.
"We'll see about that." Snippy said. "Wave, Battle Chip in!"
A roaring wave of water crashed down on Unick, clearing the cream that paralyzed him.
"Oh bugger." Port groaned.
"Freeze Blizzard!!" Ice Cream Man cried.
A huge blizzard stirred up, freezing the water from the Wave Chip.
"Fire Sword, Battle Chip in!" Snippy threw another chip into his PET.
Unick used the flame sword to melt the ice and then go in for a slash at Ice Cream Man. Ice Cream Man shot another Ice Blaster, but it melted when it hit the sword.
"Heat Shot, Battle Chip in!" Snippy threw another chip into his PET.
Unick fired the shot, then slashed Ice Cream Man multiple times. Then Snippy threw in an Electric Sword, which Unick shoved right into Ice Cream Man.
BZZTT!!! Ice Cream Man couldn't take it anymore and collapsed. The black hole grabbed Ice Cream Man as he fell.
"Bloody pirate!!!!" Port screamed, falling down the trap door.
"By your leave, Mr. Port." Snippy joked.

Raika was blushing the whole time he waited in the stadium for Pride. Of all the people he could face, he didn't want to face her.
Pride walked into the stadium elegantly, she plugging in her PET, then smiled at Raika. "Sorry you had to wait."
Raika couldn't look at Pride in the face. "Um, don't worry about it...."
"Is something wrong?" Pride asked.
"No." Raika said, still staring at the ground.
"You look nervous." Pride said. "That's not like you."
"Well he's never had to fight his girlfriend before...." Searchman joked.
"Yeah, it's kind of funny, isn't it?" Knightman asked.
"Yeah, I've never seen Raika this lost before...." Searchman said. "I might have to wing this one on my own...."
"Oh well, Pride doesn't really feel like battling him either." Knightman said.
"Really?" Searchman asked.
"Nope, she prepared herself for this, since Raika's normally always professional." Knightman said.
"Ah, I see." Searchman said. "So what do we do about these 2?"
Knightman shook his head. "I have no clue."
"Raika, are you going to start?" Pride asked. "You look ill, you shouldn't be here if you're sick..."
"That's not what's wrong with me...." Raika grumbled under his breath. "Yeah, I'm sick. Sick of the fact I have to fight her. WHAT CRUEL AND UNUSUAL FATE IS THIS?!?"
"Raika? Do you want to call the battle off?" Pride asked.
"No!!" Raika yelled. "I... I've never walked away from a fight, and I won't now.... Even if...."
"Even if what?" Pride asked.
"... Nothing....." Raika said.
"You're acting awfully strange...." Pride said.
"Um, forget it." Raika said. "Do you want to start?"
"Normally no, but since you don't seem very well." Pride said. "Knightman, go ahead."
"Yes, princess." Knightman said. "I think they're finally going to start."
"Finally?" Searchman stood up. "About time."
"Royal Wrecking Ball!!" Knightman threw out his ball-and-chain and hurled it at Searchman.
"Orders, sir?" Searchman asked.
Raika didn't say anything.
Searchman sighed and dodged the ball. He fired his gun at Knightman. The blast didn't even penetrate Knightman's armor.
"Dang it." Searchman growled, he then threw a grenade at Knightman.
"Royal Wrecking Ball!!" Knightman threw the ball out again, it crashed through the grenade and this time hit Searchman.
CRASH!!! Searchman crashed with a thud, Raika for the first time was lost and had no idea what to do.
"RAIKA!!!" Searchman screamed. "SNAP TO IT!!!"
"Oh yeah...." Raika said. "Sorry...."
Searchman sighed and aimed his gun. "Scope Gun!!" he fired at Knightman again.
"Iron Body!" Knightman protected himself.
"Any ideas, Raika?" Searchman asked.
"Ummm....." Raika didn't answer.
"RAIKA!!" Searchman hollered.
"Mine, Battle Chip in!" Raika threw a chip into his PET.
"Great move...." Searchman said with a sweatdrop on his head. "Except for the fact that he hasn't even MOVED yet...."
"I'm thinking here!!" Raika snapped.
"Well think harder!!" Searchman yelled.
"What's going on with those 2?" Pride asked.
"You don't want to know, princess." Knightman said.
"Invis, Battle Chip in!" Raika threw another chip into his PET.
Searchman now disappeared and moved in towards Knightman.
"Vulcan, Battle Chip in!" Pride threw a chip into her PET.
Knightman fired the Vulcan in multiple directions. Searchman appeared behind Knightman and fired his gun.
BLAST!! This time hit, Knightman was knocked a little off balance, but Knightman jumped into the air.
"What's he doing?" Raika asked.
"Kingdom Crusher!!!!!" Knightman landed right on Searchman, crushing him.
"We did it!!" Pride cried.
"Searchman.... Are you okay?" Raika asked.
"How about I squish you like a pancake and ask you the same question?" Searchman groaned.
Knightman took one step back to get off of Searchman, but he stepped on the mine!
KA-BOOM!!!! BLAST!!!!! BOOM!!!! Both Navis took the damage of the mine and collapsed.
"It's a draw?" Raika asked.
Pride smiled. "Oh well."
Both Navis were swallowed up by the black hole.
"What the?!" Raika cried.
"Where'd they go?" Pride asked, then the trap door opened up from under her feet. "EEKKK!!!"
"Pride!!!" Raika cried, then he also fell through the trap door.

Port fell down first, he landed on Mr. Blue Nose. Then Raika crashed onto Brandon, followed by Pride who landed on Raika's lap.
Pride blushed, so did Raika.
"HEY LOVE BIRDS, GET OFF OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!" Brandon screamed.
Raika lifted Pride up and got off of Brandon.
"What are you doing down here?" Port asked, standing up.
"We all lost, simple." Taylor said. "Just like you."
"Does anyone care that I'm bleeding to death here?" Steve asked.
Steve was right, his shoe and sock were blood red, from the bullet in his foot.
"Let me take a look at that." Raika said. "I have my Sharo First Aid Kit with me at all times."
"That's handy." Lynn said.
Raika started working on Steve's foot as the others turned to John who was still at his laptop that he pulled out from his backpack.
"How's it coming?" Clair asked.
"So far whoever programmed this area has firewalls beyond anything I've ever seen...." John said. "Without our Navis this is hard to get through...."
"But who would want to put us all here anyway?" Mayl asked.
"I WANNA GO HOME!!!!!!!" Koji screamed.
"Will somebody shut him up again?" Brandon asked.
"Your turn...." Mayl groaned.
"So everyone that's lost ends up down here?" Pride asked. "What about the Navis?"
"They all got taken somewhere else...." Blaze said. "But we have no idea where..."
"No wonder the Officials wanted this place checked..." Port said.
"It's obvious that the weirdo that brought us here is behind it." Brandon said.
"What, the strange Navi?" Sally asked.
"Navi?" Mayl asked. "What Navi?"
"A Navi invited me." Sally said.
"Me too." Koji said. "He ran into Daven in the Net."
"Be we were invited by a guy with purple hair...." Brandon said.
"My sis was invited by that same guy." Lynn said.
"The whole crew was invited by this Rezo guy." Mr. Blue Nose explained.
"Rezo? That was the same Navi that came to Curse's Crew." Billy Boy said.
"You mean Curse Pearl is here?!?" Port cried.
"Um, yeah..." Billy Boy said.
"I'm not surprised...." Brandon said.
"So some of us were brought here by that priest Xellious..." Mayl said. "And the rest were brought by this Rezo guy....."

Chapter Thirteen: Double Battle! New Match Ups!
Alex & Andrew entered the stadium.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Alex asked.
"Well, this is the stadium I was told to enter...." Andrew said.
"Well, well, well...." Tron said, entering the stadium. "Look what we have here, a double battle?"
Teisel laughed. "We'll take you down! Big mistake fighting us together!"
"I think you've got that backwards..." Alex said.
"Quite true." Andrew said. "Ready Soldierman?"
"Affirmative." Soldierman replied.
Xel watched from above. "This will be interesting...."
Rezo appeared on Xel's shoulder. "Sir, about the Navis...."
"Quiet, the battle's about to start." Xel snapped.
"But master, someone's trying to locate them!" Rezo cried.
"And?" Xel asked. "Like they can get past my magic wall?"
"They're trying, I'm not sure were the signal is coming from." Rezo said.
"Don't worry about it now, go back to guarding our guests." Xel said.
Rezo bowed. "As you wish, Master Xellious." he disappeared.
Angelman & Soldierman waited for Serverbot #1 & Bonbomb to appear.
"Ready when you are." Angelman said, turning to Soldierman.
"We'll take you down!!" Serverbot #1 cried.
"Fabu?" Bonbomb said.
"S-BUSTER, GATLING MODE!!" Soldierman cried.
Soldierman's Buster became a Gatling Gun and began firing rapidly at Serverbot #1 & Bonbomb.
"YIKES!!!" Serverbot #1 cried, firing a cannon shot at Angelman.
Bonbomb threw a bomb at Angelman.
"It'll take more than that to beat me! DARK UPGRADE!!" Angelman cried, changing into Dark Angelman. "DARK BLADES OF THE CATACLYSM!!"
"Transformation mode!" Serverbot #1 cried.
Serverbot #1's ride armor changed into a huge tank, it fired a huge beam at Soldierman.
"Good, but not good enough!!" Soldierman said, dodging the beam.
Andrew smiled and started loading chips into his PET. "Try this on for size! Sword, Wide Sword, Long Sword! Battle Chips, download!"
Soldierman's S-Claymore extended in length. "Program Advance, LIFE SWORD!!"
Dark Angelman joined in with an attack. "DEATH BUSTER STRIKE!!"
"AAAIIEEEE!!!" Serverbot #1 cried, jumping down the black hole, pulling Bonbomb in with him.
Tron & Teisel fell down the trap doors. "We'll get you next time!!!"
"Pathetic..." Angelman said, reverting to normal.
"That was anticlimactic. Oh well." Soldierman said.

All the winners of the previous battles gathered in the main hall, along with the other Net Ops that were waiting for their battles.
"This whole tournament is strange, don't you think?" Jane asked.
"Well, most of the contestants are people from the Chips of Darkness incident..." Dennis pointed out. "That is strange..."
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Elie asked.
"I'm not a mind reader, but maybe..." Dennis said. "This Xel and Rezo guys are one of Sigma's underling, but since there isn't any prove to support the theory..."
"I thought Sigma was deleted?" Lan asked.
"Didn't we think that last time?" Megaman asked.
"Good point." Lan said.
"So what do we do in the meantime?" Anthony asked.
"Well first, they must not get a suspicious or it will get worse." Dennis said. "Second, which mean we have to finish all the  matches. And finally third, being prepared, if something would happen."
"Like what?" Daniel asked.
"Anything." Dennis said. "Like what happened to the others?"
"Dennis, is my sister okay?" Sara ran up to Dennis.
"Sara! ..... Um, about your sister...." Dennis didn't know where to start.
"Did your opponents fall through trap doors as well?" Elie asked.
Lan nodded. "Mayl did. So did Roll."
"Teal fell through some strange black hole..." Spotty said. "Of course let's not get into what a moron she was acting like during the match...."
"You're saying that as if you're not a moron too..." Elie wanted to say, but then she gave up.
"Where's Brandon?" Anthony asked. "I would think he would have kicked Koji's butt."
"I haven't seen him." Lizzie said.
"What about Taylor?" Jane asked.
"No idea." Treble said. "Wait, Chaud you fought him right?"
Chaud nodded. "Yeah, he fell through that trap door."
"I say this whole thing is like a process of elimination." Nicole said.
"For what?" Snippy asked.
"I have no idea...." Nicole said.
"So what's the next step?" Morgan asked.
"Hey, are you guys coming to the board or what?" Dora called out.
"Yeah, don't you want to see who you're fighting next?" Ryan asked.
Lan and the others ran to the board.
"Hey, I'm finally up there!" Dex cried. "I'm against Daniel!"
Lan gulped. "Nice knowing ya, Dex."
"What do you mean?" Dex asked.
"You'll find out." Lan said, then he looked at the board. "I'm against Mr. Famous?"
"That does it." Gateman groaned in Mr. Famous's PET. "I'm entering Solo Navi!" he teleported out.
"What's his problem?" Punk asked.
"Hey Snippy, you & I are next." Jake said.
"Oh really?" Snippy asked.
"Who are you against, Dennis?" Sara asked.
Dennis didn't speak, his face turned white.
"Dennis, are you okay?" Sara asked.
Valiya sighed. "You're fighting Dennis, Sara...."
Now Sara didn't say anything.
"I'm against Anthony?" Lizzie asked.
"WHAT!?" Anthony screamed. "WHY?!?!?"
"Bugger..." Spearman said.
"So where am I?" Elie asked. "Against Gamemaster? This will be fun..."
"Where am I?" Jane asked. "Oh great, I get Kamon Silver?"
"I'm against some guy named Allan Leonard?" Spotty said.
"Allan!?" Nicole lit up when Spotty said that name.
"You know him?" Spotty asked.
"That's my brother!!" Nicole cried.
"I didn't know you had a brother..." Daniel said.
"Well I haven't seen him in a while, and he normally doesn't go out on his own..." Nicole said. "What's he doing here? He just about never Net Battles...."
"I'm against Mach Jentra." Alex said.
"And I've got Silver Horn." Andrew said.
"Squawk! We're against Maddy!" Speakie cried.
"I'm against some girl named Jasmine?" Dora asked.
"Poor girl, whoever she is...." Mr. Dark Chip said.
"Okay, who am I up against?" Chaud asked.
Yai just looked at Chaud. "You're against... Me..."
"Oh...." Chaud said, he turned and grumbled to himself. "OUT OF ALL PEOPLE, WHY DO I GET YAI?!? THIS IS A STUPID, CRUEL JOKE!!"
"Am I up there?" Treble asked. "Oh there... Against... Pinky?!"
"How'd he get up there?" Spotty groaned.
"I'm against someone named Yuri." Morgan said.
"Yuri?!" Marino cried. "You've got to be kidding me...."
"I'm against Yuna?" Tory asked.
"Hey, Mr. Blue Nose lost?" Spotty asked. "Maybe that Yuna is a good fighter..."
Nicole looked at the list. "I'm against Red. Oh well, we'll tear him to pieces."

Chapter Fourteen: The Cage, and the Truth About Xellious
All the Navis of the Net Operators in the basement were trapped in a large Cyber Cage.
"So how do we get out of here?" Salabi asked.
"BEAST OUT!!!!!" ImPal screamed, changing into his Beast Out and started attacking the cage.
Daven joined in slashing the cage with ImPal.
"Like that's going to do any good?" Spider asked.
Suddenly, Serverbot #1 & Bonbomb landed on ImPal's head. ImPal jumped, and started beating the holy crap out of them.
"KNOCK IT OFF!!!" Ferham screamed.
"How'd they get here?" Teal asked.
"Probably lost like us." Bola pointed out.
"Can anyone save us?" Botos asked.
"Does anyone care that Roll's still not talking?" Ailias asked.
Ailias was holding a purple Roll, her body look bad.
"It appears something infected her." Searchman said.
Daven was still slashing at the cage. "This thing is pretty strong!"
"We've been trying to attack this stupid cage for hours, what makes you think it'll give now?" Katzy asked.
"You never know until you try." Kiya said.
"It seems pointless to me." Scarface said.
"Too true." P-Man nodded. "Dang it, why hasn't John picked up my signal yet?"
"Signal?" Sui asked.
"You mean maybe they can find us?" Zippo asked.
"Can they rescue us?" Windchime asked.
"Whoa, whoa!" P-Man yelled. "I just said maybe John can find my signal, you're not taking into account where our Net Ops might be."
"He's got a point." Spellgirl said.
"So what do we do in the meantime?" CapeMan asked.
"Sit and wait?" Jelloman asked. "Not my style." he joined Daven in attacking the cage.
"Something tells me he won't listen...." Fairygirl said.
"I can see their point, though." Haloman said. "Why sit and wait?"
"Um, shouldn't we stop ImPal before he kills them?" Knightman asked, pointing to ImPal beating up Serverbot #1 & Bonbomb.
"Nah, leave him." Ice Cream Man said.
Rezo was right outside the cage, he turned to a Cyber Window that showed Xel.
"It's none of them. What should I do with them?" Rezo asked.
"See if they know anything..." Xel said.
"As you wish...." Rezo said.
Rezo approached the cage. "Hello everyone, cofty?"
"YOU!!!!!!" ImPal screamed, trying to break through the cage.
"You know what? I think I should have deleted you when I first met you!" Daven yelled.
"Sorry, but you Navis aren't what we were looking for. Now you must be deleted." Rezo said.
"What are you talking about?" Serverbot #1 asked.
Suddenly, an electric shock filled the cage. All the Navis were hit.
"What was that for?!?" Spider yelled.
"Paladin Cannon Multiple Burst!" ImPal fired at Rezo.
But suddenly, the cage bars lit up, and reflected the attack back at him!!
ImPal crashed to the other side of the cage, then jumped back up and attacked again. "PALADIN CANNON OMEGA BURST!!!!"
"Thanks, I needed a power boost." Rezo said, as the bars lit up and absorbed ImPal's attack. "These bars absorb your energy."
"Darn it." ImPal grumbled.
Now Daven was trying to attack Rezo. "ORB BLIZZARD!!" he shouted. He charged up fifty mini ice orbs, and threw them all at Rezo.
"East winds that blow, have you as their source, into my hands, ignite all their force! Flare Arrow!" Rezo said, as a series of red arrows appeared in his hands, he threw them at the ice orbs, which melted them.
"He can use magical attacks like Elie?!?" Haloman cried.
"I thought only Elie could use spells like that." Spellgirl said.
"What's taking so long?" Xel asked. "Get the information from them before more show up so we can filter through them all!"
"Why are you attacking us?" Ailias asked.
"Nothing personal, just you're not the morons we're looking for." Rezo said.
"Then who are you looking for?" Sui asked.
"That is a secret!" Rezo said.
"Then let us go." ImPal said.
Rezo shook his head. "I can't do that, you'll warn the others."
"He does have a point..." Ailias said.
"DID YOU HAVE TO POINT IT OUT?!?" Daven screamed.
"We're doomed." Salabi said.
"Tri Card!!" Spider now attacked Rezo.
"You don't learn, do you?" Rezo asked, holding up a single hand, reversing Spider's attack.
"Will you just get to work?!" Xel barked.
"Yes, Master Xellious..." Rezo grumbled. "Shouldn't you be checking on the others?"
"Too true." Xel said, as the window closed.
"Anyway, where was I?" Rezo asked, holding a list. "Okay, now to filter through the others..... What is the last name of your Operators?"
"Screw you." Katzy said.
Rezo looked at his list. "Nope, I don't have that name here at all...."
"How thick can this guy get?" Spider asked.
"Ashton...." ImPal & Haloman said.
"Blue Nose." Scarface said.
"Adams." P-Man answered.
"Bonne." Serverbot #1 said.
"Gold." Zippo said.
"Wave...." Daven answered.
"Port." Ice Cream Man said.
"Not them either...... Nope, not here......" Rezo muttered to himself, looking over his list. "Oh well, is there an Inverse in the house?"
"I know an Inverse." ImPal said.
"You do?!? Where can I find her?" Rezo asked.
"No idea. Haven't seen her for a while." ImPal said.
Rezo sighed. "Drat, that could be the one I'm looking for. Um, what's her Navi's name?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Do you want to tell him, or should I?" Haloman asked.
"She IS the Navi, you moron." ImPal growled.
"Oh, then it can't be her...." Rezo said.
"I think I know an Inverse...." Spider said.
"Oh really?" Rezo asked.
"But you have to let me out of here." Spider said.
"What's the Navi's name?" Rezo asked.
"No idea." Katzy said.
Spider hit Katzy on the head. "I'll tell you if you let me go."
"No can do." Rezo said. "You're just trying to trick me."
"Then tough luck finding the right Inverse." Spider said.
"Dammit! How many 'Inverses' are there in the world?!?" Rezo growled. "How am I supposed to find Lina Inverse's kids?!?"
"Okay, so it's none of you morons, Master Xellious, what shall I do with them?" Rezo asked.

Xel was hovering over the others in the basement when Rezo was speaking through the PET.
"Quiet will you, you'll give away that I'm......" Xel looked down, seeing that everyone heard, looked up and saw him. "Um.... Hi?"
"GET HIM!!!!!" Blaze screamed.
"Um, how? We can't reach him...." Mayl pointed out.
Just as they were talking, Tron & Teisel fell in and crashed into Mr. Blue Nose.
"Heh, how are you enjoying the tournament?" Xel asked. "Aren't you glad that before I stopped Koji when he went nuts?"
"That was you?!?" Koji cried.
"..... I heard.... Something....." Shori said.
"God that girl's slow...." Clair said.
"Xellious Noon!!!" Mr. Blue Nose cried. "I should have guessed by the description Brandon gave me earlier... You're just the trickster to pull this!!!"
"You know him?" Sally asked.
"Unfortunately, yes..." Mr. Blue Nose said.
"Wait a second...." Port said. "You're that priest!!! The trickster priest Xellious!!!"
"That's me." Xel said with a smile.
"Why are we stuck in a basement?!" Brandon asked.
Xel smiled. "Well, you see.... I'm looking for someone.... I have to filter through you all before a really crazy moron finds what I'm looking for...." he explained. "Does anyone know Lina Inverse's children? Since I know Spotty won't tell me...."
"You know Black Spotty?!?" Brandon asked. "Now I really have a reason to kick your butt!!!"
"Even if we do, we're not telling you." Mayl said.
"Well, crap. I'll have to keep you all nice and locked up until you decide to talk." Xel said, as he teleported out of sight.
"He never changes...." Mr. Blue Nose grumbled.
Brandon looked thoughtful. "Let's see. Be stuck down here forever, or ruin Spotty's life... How do I call him back?"
Mr. Blue Nose grabbed Brandon and shook him violently. "ARE YOU INSANE?!? He just will use you and kill you!!!"
"And I can trust this how?" Brandon asked.
"This day just keeps getting stranger and stranger......" Sally said.
"How'd I get mixed up in this again?" Clair asked.
"What's this I heard about someone willing to help me?" Xel appeared again.
"We're not telling you!" Mayl yelled.
"Fine. Then rot here for all I care." Xel said, teleporting again.
"Thanks a lot, Brandon...." Mayl barked. "You'd sell out someone else to save your own butt?"
"I was trying to fake him out to find a way out of here." Brandon explained. "The only way I'm telling him where Spotty's son is is if he takes me out of this basement and tortures me. And even then I might not...."
"So Mr. Blue Nose....." Mayl turned to Mr. Blue Nose. "You've got some explaining to do. Who is this guy?"
Mr. Blue Nose sat down. "He's what you could call a 'Trickster Priest' he thrives on playing tricks and using others for his own doing. We ran into him 15 years ago, back when the Cyber Pirates and the Sadistic Pirates were rivals...."
"Sadistic Pirates?" Taylor asked.
"That was the name of Lina, I mean Elie's crew." Mr. Blue Nose said. "She was the captain of the Queen of Darkness, her crew was the best there ever was. Spotty and the rest of us couldn't stand up to her, we fought many battles, but Xellious brought us together to fight a greater threat. But it turned out Xel was using us all, to find a special magical object...."
"And that was?" Heather asked.
"The Key of Time...." Mr. Blue Nose said. "The key that allows time travel.... Spotty got it from him and scattered the pieces... No one but he and he alone know where they lie..... He split them up after Lina died...... The last time we had saw him before the Chips of Darkness incident...."
"Elie might not even remember it all, due to her memory loss." Teisel said.
"And what did he mean by 'children' I was under the assumption Spotty only had one child....?" Brandon asked.
"........" Tron turned to Mr. Blue Nose.
"Aye, that's because the secret was let out...." Mr. Blue Nose said. ".... The truth is... Lina had twins...."
"TWINS?!?" everyone cried.
"It's true..." Tron said. "Spotty had sent off the 1st child to get it away from us, none of us know who that child is, let alone if it's a boy or girl...."
"The other was left with us because of what happened." Teisel continued. "Originally Spotty and Lina were bringing him to Dr. Hikari, because the doc owed Lina & Spotty, they asked if he'd raise the child as one of his own...."
"So that's why Mrs. Hikari took.... Him in when the Cyber Pirate threat was over...." Mayl said.
Mr. Blue Nose nodded. "Correct. Be careful not to say his name.... Xel could be watching....."
"So a piece of this 'Key of Time' is with T...... Spotty's son?" Brandon asked. "And the other is...."
"With the other child, which I believe is who Xel is after...." Mr. Blue Nose said.
"Why is he after it so bad?" Amy asked.
"He's trying to get it before.... Her...." Mr. Blue Nose said.
"Her?" Blaze asked.
"..... Black Heart...." Mayl said.
Mr. Blue Nose nodded. "Who do you think gave Spotty that compass of his? Xellious did. Why he's doing this I haven't a clue. He owes Lina his life! Why would he attack us?"
"You just said he's a trickster...." Raika said.
"Yeah, but he's right..." Tron said. "This is a little strange, even for Xel...."
"So this Xellious is an enemy of Black Heart?" Brandon asked.
Mr. Blue Nose sighed. "He's a lot more than that, mate....... Xellious Noon is Black Heart's older brother......"

Chapter Fifteen: There's a Fine Line Between Love & Hate
Anthony groaned the whole time as he entered the stadium and plugged in his PET.
"You do know that I don't like this set up either, right?" Lizzie asked.
Anthony nodded, still grumbling.
Spearman appeared, looking like he wanted to run.
"Let's go!!!" Mary cried as she appeared, an evil look in her eye.
"I am so dead...." Spearman groaned.
Mary leapt up and started beating up Spearman right away.
"Great, her favorite pastime just got an excuse...." Lizzie groaned.
Spearman tried to use his shield to block, but Mary broke it with her sickle.
"I surrender!" Spearman screamed.
"You do?" Mary asked, still beating him up.
"YES!!!!!" Spearman yelled.
"Very well..." Mary said, as she picked up Spearman and threw him down the black hole.
"AAHHH!!!" Spearman cried.
"Bye bye...." Anthony said, falling down the trap door.
"Man, this is too easy..." Mary said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Chaud walked slowly to the battle arena. "Ready Protoman?"
"Ready as you are." Protoman responded.
"Well then, get more ready!!" Chaud yelled.
Yai was waiting for Chaud as he entered the stadium. "About time." she scolded.
"Yeah, whatever...." Chaud moaned, plugging in his PET.
"It is an honor to share the battle field with you, Protoman." Glide said.
"......" Protoman didn't say anything, he waited for Chaud's command.
"Well let's begin!" Yai cried. "M-Cannon Battle Chip in!"
A cannon appeared on Glide's arm and he began shooting, Protoman dashed off and dodged the attack.
"Lord Chaud, send me a chip!" Protoman called out.
Chaud nodded. "Gotcha. Area Steal Battle Chip in, Download!"
Protoman disappeared, and reappeared in front of Glide, and then slashed him.
"Hero Sword, Battle Chip in!" Yai threw another chip into her PET. "And Life Aura!"
"Nope, that won't do anything. Protoman, Firal Form!" Chaud cried.
Protoman nodded. "Roger that."
A blinding red light surrounded Protoman. Protoman changed form. He had four wide pieces of metal that had flame patterns all over them and had a large wheel inside each one of them. A long exhaust pipe was the fuselage for these wings. On each of his feet, a small wheel was attached. His visor had turned clear, and his whole body had covered in flame patterns. Equipped to his hips were two gun holsters and what looked like handle bars rested in them. Coming out of his knuckles were three huge, red claws. His helmet had three fins instead of one now.
"What in the world?!?" Yai cried.
"Take this! BLAZE BOMB!" Protoman leapt into the air, created a huge ball of fire, and launched it at Glide.
BOOM!! Glide was blasted back. Yai threw in some more chips into her PET.
"Program Advance: Z-Cannon!" Yai cried.
Glide fired the multiple blasts at Protoman. Protoman quickly dodged all of the blasts. Then, using his super speed, he moved so fast that he left images behind him.
"Ha, you'll never guess which one is me!" the after-images chanted.
"Super Vulcan, Battle Chip in!" Yai threw another chip into her PET.
Glide fired the rounds in a circle, hoping to hit the real Protoman. The after images slowly faded. All the after images disappeared, Protoman wasn't there!
"Head's up!" Protoman shouted. He thrust the sword right through Glide.
Glide collapsed and fell through the black hole. The trap door opened up and took Yai. Chaud felt a little bad about what could possibly happen to Yai, but he knew that he had to press on.

Dora waited around for Jasmine to show, she immediately plugged in her PET.
"I've never seen you before." Jasmine said.
"When you fall down can you say hi to my brother John for me?" Dora asked.
"What makes you think I'm going to lose?" Jasmine asked.
"Need I explain what my Navi's name is?" Dora asked.
"So?" Jasmine cocked an eyebrow. "You don't scare me."
Meddy looked at Mr. Dark Chip and sighed. "I have a healing attack that might be able to cure that...."
"..... You're a Medic Navi, aren't you?" Mr. Dark Chip asked.
"Yep." Meddy nodded.
"How about you surrender now before you get hurt instead of me deleting you by mistake?" Mr. Dark Chip asked.
"How about I blow your face off?" Jasmine asked, throwing a capsule bomb.
Dora threw a chip into her PET.
"Darksword!" Mr. Dark Chip slashed the capsule in half.
"Dang it!!" Meddy growled. "Healing Pulse!!"
A wave of light attacked Mr. Dark Chip. He snarled and slashed it with his sword.
"Now you're starting to tick me off." Mr. Dark Chip growled. "I asked you nicely to leave before you get hurt, but you ignored my warning..."
"Screw you." Meddy stuck her tongue out. "Like I'm going to listen to a creepy guy like you!"
That did it. Mr. Dark Chip screamed through the PET. "SEND ME CHIPS DORA! ABOUT FIFTY SHOULD DO!"
"You better jack out your navi before she gets deleted..." Dora said with a sweatdrop on her head, as she inserted the chips.
"That doesn't scare me!" Jasmine said.
"DARK CHIP RAGE! POWER OF DARK CHIPS!" Mr. Dark Chip cried.
A darkchip 'spirit' appeared around Mr. Dark Chip, forming into a ball the size of a closed fist that flew towards Meddy extremely fast and homing with 180 degree turns.
"What the hell?!?" Jasmine screamed. "Log Out!!!!"
"I can't!!!!!" Meddy yelled. "EEEKKKK!!!!"
"Hope you have a backup somewhere....." Dora said.
"ARE YOU INSANE LETTING SOMETHING LIKE THAT LOOSE?!?" Jasmine screamed.
"Are you insane to allow your stupid Navi to mouth off to others like she does?" Dora asked.
"DON'T KILL ME PLEASE!!!!!" Meddy screamed.
"Can't you stop him?" Jasmine asked.
Dora shook her head. "I don't got much saying in the matter right now..."
"When it comes to the crime of insulting me I am Judge, Jury and EXECUTIONER!" Mr. Dark Chip said.
"As I just said...." Dora said. "Maybe you should surrender that way you and your Navi will fall down those trap doors at least....."
"I'll never give up!!" Jasmine yelled.
"HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!" Meddy screamed.
The black hole suddenly appeared.
"ESCAPE!!!!!" Meddy jumped through.
"Dang it..." Jasmine groaned, as the trap door opened up from under her.
"NEXT TIME I SEE HER THAT LITTLE HEAD OF HERS GOES OFF!" Mr. Dark Chip screamed.

Chapter Sixteen: Snippy Nightmare
Snippy plugged in his PET, excited for battle. "Let's get this started!!"
"Bugger..." Unick groaned.
"Moron..." Jake muttered under his breath.
"Let's go Burstgirl." Featherman said.
"Right." Burstgirl nodded.
"Hey, you have 2 Navis?" Snippy asked.
Suddenly, another Navi entered the arena. It looked like a pirate, but it was hard to tell if the Navi was a he or a she.
"Parlay?" Unick asked. "What are you doing here?"
"I was interested and came to help." Parlay said.
"You're going down." Jake said.
"We'll see about that..." Snippy said.
Burstgirl & Featherman fused together into Skydive.
"Double Sword Cross!!!" Parlay cried, charging at Skydive with 2 swords.
"I think I'll stay out of this one..." Unick said, stepping back.
"Skydive Scorcher!" Skydive cried, crashing into Parlay before the Navi could attack.
"Sword Charge!!!" Parlay jumped up and quickly dashed into Skydive, slashing the Navi.
Skydive recovered quickly, and fired. "Dragon Cannon!"
Parlay blocked the slash with its twin swords, Unick then appeared behind Skydive, and jabbed his sword into the fused Navi.
Skydive then split back into Burstgirl & Featherman.
"Hey, we split them!" Parlay cried.
"That will be your worst mistake." Jake said.
Parlay went in for a slash at Burstgirl, Unick just kicked Featherman.
Featherman jumped up. "Feather Sword!" he slashed Unick.
"Burst Sword!" Burstgirl blocked Parlay's attack.
"Feather Buster!" Featherman fired at Unick.
Burstgirl jumped back and unleashed her attack. "Flare Storm!"
The Flare Storm combined together with Featherman's buster shots, forming an attack together. Parlay pushed Unick into the attack, jumped up and went in for a jump slash at Burstgirl.
"Not so fast!" Jake said.
Burstgirl & Featherman fused together again, Skydive's body bursted into flames and slammed into Parlay, smashing the Navi into Unick. The 2 pirate Navis fell through the black hole that appeared.
"Why me?" Snippy asked, falling through the trap door.
"Fool." Jake said.

Daniel waited for Dex to arrive for battle. The two plugged in their PETs right away.
"So I heard from Lan that you're a powerful Navi, Guts." Gutsman said.
"And he didn't say a word about you...." D-Nightmare said.
"All right, let's see how you handle the powerful Gutsman!" Dex cried.
"D-Nightmare, show him no mercy..." Daniel said.
"Gutshammer!!" Gutsman pounded the ground, sending a shockwave towards D-Nightmare.
D-Nightmare stood still, he didn't even flinch.
"Your power is pathetic compared to my true power." D-Nightmare said.
"Guts...?" Gutsman said. "Umm, Dex??"
Dex gulped. "Gutspunch, Battle Chip in!"
Gutsman's hand extended in size, he charged towards D-Nightmare and tried to punch him.
Daniel yawned. "This isn't even worth my time......"
D-Nightmare caught the punch before Gutsman could get very close, he picked up Gutsman and threw him to the other side of the arena, then charged into him with a series of slashes.
"That was pathetic." D-Nightmare remarked.
"Finish this." Daniel said.
"Source of all power, crimson fire burning bright!" D-Nightmare cried. "Gather together in my hand and become an inferno... BURST FLARE!"
A massive ball of appeared by Gutsman. It then exploded, covering the area in blue-white flame.
D-Nightmare then charged in with one more powerful slash, which knocked Gutsman out on contact. The black hole appeared, taking Gutsman from the area.
"Lan wasn't kidding...." Dex said, falling through the trap door.
"I need a challenger who's worth my time....." Daniel grumbled.

Down in the basement, Anthony landed on Brandon, Dex crashed on his head, Yai landed on Taylor, Snippy landed on Mr. Blue Nose, and Jasmine fell onto Dex.
"Oh my head. Where are we guys?" Anthony asked.
"Hey bro." Brandon said.
"Oh, so you are down here." Anthony said. "You lost in the 1st round? That's unlike you."
"Un, like you made it very far?" Brandon shrugged.
"I was up against Lizzie...." Anthony pointed out.
"I landed on something..." Snippy said.
"Yeah, ME!!" Mr. Blue Nose yelled.
"Oh, sorry." Snippy said.
"Oh great...." Jasmine growled. "Man that Navi is a cheat! Using Dark Chips!!!"
"Oh, I see you meet my sister..." John said.
"You must be John...." Jasmine said.
"Mayl!" Dex cried.
"Yai! Dex! Oh, you guys ended up here too?" Mayl asked.
"Yeah, unfortunately..." Yai said.
"Wow, there's a lot of you guys down here." Anthony said.
"No, really?" Keith snarled.
"So, any clue how we bust out of this place?" Anthony asked.
"We're still working on that...." Blaze said.
"First, I think Bluey over here needs to fill you in on a few things..." Brandon said.

Meanwhile in the cage in the Cyber World..... Unick, Parlay, Glide, Gutsman, Meddy & Spearman all fell on ImPal.
"WHY ARE YOU USING ME AS YOUR THROW PILLOW?!?!?" ImPal screamed, beating up everyone who fell on him.
"WHOA!!! Bro, it's me!!!" Spearman screamed.
Spearman pulled Gutsman & Glide out of ImPal's warpath. He continued to beat up Unick, Parlay & Meddy.
"HEY!!! What did I do to you?!" Meddy growled, hurling a capsule bomb at ImPal.
"Don't mind him, he's just ticked off right now." Spellgirl said.
"So I imagine you guys have been here a while..." Spearman said.
"What was your first clue?" Spider growled.
"Oh, new arrivals?" Rezo asked.
"Hey, it's you!!" Unick cried, pulling himself from ImPal.
"Oh, I see you're enjoying yourself..." Rezo said.
"So who's he?" Glide asked.
"He's that purple haired guy's Navi." Haloman explained.
"How do you know?" Bola asked.
"I saw a Cyber Window with that weirdo." Haloman said. "Rezo was talking to him."
"Wait a second...." Parlay said. "Unick, don't you see?"
"See what?" Unick asked.
"That's the guy that warned us about Black Widow!!" Parlay cried.
"Black Widow? What widow?" Rezo asked.
"You know Black Widow?!?" Scarface cried.
"Hey wait, you're right..." Unick said. "The moron that beat up Bugger once!"
ImPal lit up. "Wait.... You hurt Bugger? Then you're ok in my book."
Ferham hit ImPal in the head. "He's going to kill all of us!!!"
"Well I know none of you are the ones I'm looking for...." Rezo said. "But better check anyway..."
"Looking for?" Spearman turned to the others.
"Long story." Salabi said.
"What happened to Roll?" Gutsman asked.
"She's been like this since she arrived." Ailias explained.
"Is she okay?" Glide asked.
"No you moron, she's infected with a virus!" Fairygirl snapped.
"Okay, does anyone know who Spotty's kids are?" Rezo asked the group.
"Nope." Serverbot #1 said.
"Fabu?" Bonbomb said.
"Not telling." Unick said.
"Yes." ImPal said.
Suddenly, everyone looked like they were going to pound ImPal into the ground if he told Rezo.
"But I'm not gonna tell you...." ImPal said.
"Oh...." Rezo grumbled.
"Just a question: What happens to us if you get Spotty's kids?" Spearman asked.
"I will let you all go if you tell me." Rezo said.
"One more thing: What do you mean kids?" Spearman asked. "I thought Spotty only had 1 kid."
Rezo looked a little shocked. "You didn't know? Lina had twins."
"TWINS?!" ImPal & Spearman cried.
".... Great, then you don't know...." Rezo groaned, turning his back at the cage.
ImPal & Spearman grabbed Unick, Parlay, Jelloman, Botos, Teal, Ferham, Scarface, Serverbot #1 & Bonbomb.
"YOU'VE GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!!!" ImPal & Spearman screamed.
"We do?" Serverbot #1 asked.
"Threatening them won't do any good!!" Sui cried.
"Well it makes us feel better!!" ImPal said.
"Oh bugger....." Unick groaned.
"STOP!!" Ailias cried. "Violence solves nothing!!!"
"Actually it might get us some answers..." Daven said.
"This might be fun to watch..." Bola said.
"I'd like to know why I'm stuck here....." Katzy said.
"Yeah, but to beat them up just for that...." Windchime said.
"Why don't we just sit down and talk this out?" P-Man asked.
"That sounds good!" Teal said.
ImPal & Spearman set the pirates down.
"Now, care to explain who or what this Xellious character is?" CapeMan asked.
"And why they're holding us all here?" Zippo asked.
"Well even that part we don't know..." Jelloman said.
"I'll explain what I can..." Parlay said. "First of all, you guys remember Black Heart right?"
"Who can forget?" Ice Cream Man asked.
"Well, it all started back when Lina & Spotty first met..." Unick said.

Chapter Seventeen: Nintendo Fraulein Blizzard
"Where is he?" NintendoMan asked, waiting inside the battle computer.
"Be patient...." Ryan said.
NintendoMan shook his head. "No. I don't wanna."
Enker finally appeared and starred at NintendoMan. "Oh man, your Net Op must really play too many video games...."
"WHY YOU!!!!!" Ryan screamed. "THAT DOES IT!!! KILL HIM!!!!!!"
"What was that about being patient?" NintendoMan asked.
"SCREW THAT!!!!!" Ryan hollered.
"YES!!" NintendoMan grinned. "Controllerang!"
NintendoMan fired off his GameCube Controllers at Enker.
Enker cut the controllers with his lance, then charged in at NintendoMan.
"Anti-Sword, Battle Chip in, download!" Ryan threw a chip into his PET.
BLAST!!! Enker was hit by the Anti-Sword, he pulled himself up.
"Excuse me, but is that a challenge? I'LL PWN U N008!" NintendoMan cried.
"Oh that does it!!" Enker snarled. "You're going down!!!"
"Let's see what you got." NintendoMan said.
"You attack me this time." Enker said.
"Very well." NintendoMan said. "Zapper Light Gun!!"
NintendoMan fired a blast from his Zapper Light Gun, Enker just held up his lance.
"You think that will protect you?" Ryan asked.
Enker smiled. His lance absorbed the attack! Enker whirlwinded his lance around, and hurled NintendoMan's attack right back at him!!
"Shoot! That guy can reflect attacks?!" Ryan cried.
"Ryan! Shut up and give me a chip!" NintendoMan growled.
"Whatever, I'm trying!" Ryan snapped, throwing a few chips into his PET. "Big Bomb, Area Grab, Battle Chips in, download!"
NintendoMan threw the bomb at Enker, who whacked it away with his lance. Then NintendoMan disappeared, and came closer to Enker.
"I have a friend that would like to meet you." NintendoMan said.
Ryan smiled and threw a chip into his PET. "Samus, Summon Chip in, download."
A large woman in an orange and red suit appeared, firing missiles at Enker. She then charged up the gun on her arm and fired it at Enker. BOOM!!! Enker's lance was destroyed, he took a few more hits before falling down the black hole.
"YES!!! WE RULE!!!" NintendoMan cried.

Elsewhere, Morgan plugged in her PET, Marino faced Yuri, who was eating.
"Don't you ever stop eating?" Marino asked.
"Oh! You're here!" Yuri stood up.
"This is just too much...." Morgan sighed.
"Well, ready to go for it?" Yuri asked.
"Ready when you are." Marino smiled.
"Twin Dragon Fangs!!" Yuri removed the 2 blue orbs on her shoulders, they became twin swords.
"Marino Daggers!" Marino cried, 2 small blades appeared in Marino's hands.
WHACK!!! SLASH!! CLANG!! Marino & Yuri went all out, slashing and attacking each other.
"Let's see you handle this!" Yuri placed the 2 swords together, forming a large flattened staff with a handle in the center.
"What's that supposed to do?" Marino asked.
"Swirly Swirly Punch!!" Yuri cried.
Yuri jumped up, and swirled around with the large staff. She was spinning so fast, her body became like a drill and slammed into Marino, damaging her badly.
Yuri landed, a little dizzy. "I hate when that happens..."
Marino jumped up. "Marino Stamp!" she kicked Yuri.
"Dual Dragon Busters!" Yuri pulled the staff apart into 2 small guns that she fired in Marino's face.
BLAST!! Marino was hit, she crashed to the ground.
"Time for another Swirly Swirly Punch!" Yuri cried.
"Oh no you don't!" Marino cried, jumping up for another slash.
But Yuri had already started, the 2 Navis crashed into each other. The black hole suddenly appeared, Marino had fallen down it because she landed in the spot, but then Yuri fell down because she was too dizzy and fell into it.
"It's a draw?" Morgan asked, but then she fell down the trap door.

Meanwhile Tory & Iceman faced off with Galaxy Fraulein Yuna Kagurazaka.
"So you ready?" Iceman asked.
"Are you sure we can't..." Yuna's word fell short.
"LET'S FIGHT!!" Elnar stepped in.
Yuna sighed. "Alright, Elnar...."
"What's going on with those 2?" Tory asked.
"Elnar, let me handle this one..." Yuna said. "You and the others get too worked up over this...."
"Fine." Elnar turned into a sword handle. "Just make sure you win!"
"Light come forth!" Yuna cried, as the blue blade appeared.
"Let's do it, Iceman." Tory said.
Iceman nodded. "Cyber Blizzard!!"
Iceman shot out a roaring freeze blizzard at Yuna. Yuna slashed right through the middle of the blizzard with the Sword of Light.
"That's not some trick sword!" Iceman cried.
"It sure isn't!" Elnar screamed.
"And it talks even in sword form...." Tory said. "Ice Cube, Battle Chip in!"
A block of ice appeared, Iceman shoved it towards Yuna. SLICE!! Yuna cut it in half with her sword.
"Not working...." Iceman said.
"Finish this, Yuna!" Elnar yelled.
"Okay, okay...." Yuna sighed. "Sorry about this...."
The chest plate on Yuna's body opened up, revealing a crystal blaster. "Matrix Blast!!" A huge blast of energy shot out from the crystal, slamming into Iceman.
BLAST!!! Iceman collapsed. Yuna fell down from exhaustion.
"Get up, Yuna!" Elnar had transformed back. "Heal Beam!"
A soft, golden light shot out from Elnar's eyes. Yuna felt her strength returning, she stood up.
"Thanks, Elnar." Yuna smiled.
Suddenly, the trap door opened up under Tory. Then Iceman fell through a black hole.
"Oh no! It happened again!" Yuna cried.
"That's why you can't lose, Yuna." Elnar pointed out. "Because we must find out who is behind this and fast!!!"

Chapter Eighteen: Silver & Crystal
Andrew plugged in his PET, Soldierman arrived, waiting for his opponent. The large aqua mammoth appeared in a second, ready for battle.
"So who are you?" Silver Horn asked.
"I am Soldierman." Soldierman replied. "You're one of the Cyber Pirates, correct?"
Silver Horn nodded. "Yes, they recovered my data after I had been deleted while under Mr. X's control."
"Ah, I see...." Andrew said. "Very well, let's begin this fight, I'm ready when you are."
"If you say so." Silver Horn said, he stomped his foot. The whole room began to shake.
"Is that all you've got?" Soldierman asked, not even flinching.
"Let's see you handle this!" Silver Horn yelled.
Silver Horn stomped his foot again. A large wave of water came crashing down on Soldierman.
"Now that's more like it..." Andrew said.
"Good, but not good enough!!" Soldierman said, emerging from the wave of water. "S-BUSTER, LASER GATLING MODE!!"
Soldierman's Buster turned into a fast-firing Gatling laser cannon. He fired it repeatedly at Silver Horn.
"Not so fast!!" Silver Horn slammed his foot to the ground, another wave rose up, protecting him.
"Now's our chance, Area Steal, Battle Chip in!" Andrew threw a chip into his PET.
Soldierman disappeared, then reappeared and caught Silver Horn off guard with a fearsome kick.
"Why you!!!" Silver Horn snarled, hurling up another wave of water.
Soldierman slashed the roaring wave in half with his sword, then he charged a globe of energy on his fingertips.
"Darkness and Light. Obey me. BURN BRIGHT! BURN THE WHOLE WORLD!!" Soldierman cried.
Soldierman raised his left hand so that his pointer and middle fingers pointed towards the sky. A thin beam of energy shot from his fingers towards the sky. The sky began to grow dark as thunderstorms began to form.
"LANCE OF THE SKY KING!!" Soldierman yelled.
Soldierman lowered his hand so that his pointer and middle fingers pointed at the holographic enemies. A bolt of black lightning shot from the sky to his fingers.
"NOW PERISH!!" Soldierman declared.
The bolt shot from Soldierman's fingertips and lanced through Silver Horn, the huge Navi collapsed and fell through the black hole.
"Too easy...." Andrew said. "Something's not right here....."

Meanwhile, Alex had begun his battle with Mach Jentra.
"So you think you can defeat me?" Mach Jentra asked.
"Are you going to bore me all day with your idiotic speeches?" Angelman groaned.
"Very well, let's fight." Mach Jentra said.
"Good." Angelman said. "CLEANSING INFERNO!!"
A wave of holy fire surrounded Mach Jentra. But Mach Jentra just held out his staff, which absorbed the fire.
"A simple trick like that won't stop me..." Mach Jentra said, smiling. "Now what else have you got?"
Angelman sprung out, he fiercely struck Mach Jentra with his scythe.
"Nice..." Mach Jentra said, waving his staff around.
Suddenly, bursts of fire came crashing down onto Angelman. Angelman defended himself, then charged into Mach Jentra.
"Let's see you dodge this!! ARC BLADE CANNON!!" Angelman shot an arc of light at Mach Jentra.
Mach Jentra threw his staff up, a fire barrier protected him, but not for long. BOOM!!! The Arc Blade Cannon crashed through Mach Jentra's barrier, damaging him badly.
"Had enough?" Alex asked.
"You'll pay!" Mach Jentra cried, waving his staff up high.
A meteor shower came after Angelman. Angelman took to the skies, dodging it. He drew the DeathBuster Scythe.
"I was born to lead!" Angelman cried. "DEATHBUSTER STRIKE!!"
Angelman threw the DeathBuster Scythe. It spun like a buzzsaw blade as it traveled and then rammed through Mach Jentra. It returned to Angelman's hand afterwards.
Angelman snapped his fingers. "Your life comes crashing down."
As Angelman snapped his fingers, the black hole appeared, taking Mach Jentra.
"Going so soon?" Angelman asked, but Mach Jentra was gone.
"That was odd...." Alex said. "And fast...."

Jane stepped into the stadium, her thoughts were on Taylor and she was a little worried about him.
"I hope he's okay..." Jane muttered to herself.
"What are you doing here?" Kamon snapped, annoyed.
"Hey, I'm your opponent!!!" Jane replied angrily.
"Dammit, I wanted to fight Taylor!" Kamon growled.
"Well you'll have to settle with me!" Jane hollered.
"This is a stupid waste of my time." Kamon snarled.
"Then forfeit." Jane snapped.
"And let you win?" Kamon asked, arching his eyebrow. "I'm not going to let you win, missy...."
"Then shut up and Jack In!" Jane yelled, plugging in her PET.
Aqua appeared in the Net in a flash, Javia appeared a few seconds after.
"I'm going to destroy you..." Javia said.
"We'll see about that." Aqua said.
"Let's end this quick." Kamon said, slotting in a chip. "Anti-Water!"
"You little...." Jane growled. "Oh well, we can win without aqua attacks!!"
"We can?" Aqua asked.
"Galaxy Buster!!" Javia cried, firing out asteroid shots at Aqua.
"Spreader, Battle Chip in!" Jane threw a chip into her PET.
Aqua fired the shot and destroyed the asteroids.
"Astro Whip!" Javia cried.
One of the rings that surrounded Javia came off and wrapped around Aqua.
"I can't move!" Aqua cried.
"Hand in there, Aqua!" Jane cried, throwing a chip into her PET. "Long Blade, Battle Chip in!"
The large sword appeared on Aqua's hand, she used it to break free.
"Oh that does it!" Kamon growled.
"Go Aqua!" Jane cried. "Heat Shot, Battle Chip in!"
Aqua fired the flame shot at Javia.
"Take this, Aqua Tower, Battle Chip in!" Kamon threw a chip into his PET.
ZAP!!!! An electric jolt zapped through Javia's body.
"HA!! Thanks for triggering the Anti-Water Chip!" Jane cried. "Aqua, let's get him!!"
"Aqua Hurricane!!" Aqua cried, firing the spiral water attack.
The hurricane of water came crashing down on Javia.
"Now for our new move!" Jane cried.
"Aqua Charge Blast!!!" Aqua cried.
Aqua dashed up and slammed into Javia, her body exploding with water. The huge amount of water covered Javia.
"Finish him off!" Jane cried.
"Aqua Spiral!!" Aqua cried, firing a huge spiral of water at Javia.
CRASH!!! The 3 shot spiral slammed into Javia, Javia collapsed and fell through the black hole.
"DAMN YOU!!!" Kamon screamed, as the trap door opened up from under him.
"We did it!!!!" Aqua cried.
"We sure did!" Jane smiled.

Chapter Nineteen: Pirate's Quarrel
Treble was waiting in the stadium for Pinky to show up. Soon the pirate arrived and plugged in his PET.
"C'mon Treble, let's see you win this one!" Pinky cried.
"Oh bugger...." Treble groaned. "Don't these bloody morons learn?"
"Not in this life-time, Treble." Axl said.
Klaymoor stomped his foot down. "I'm going to squash you, kid!"
"Oh really?" Axl said, cocking an eyebrow. "You know what they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall!"
"Ha!!" Klaymoor laughed. "You're not going to beat me, kid!"
"Wanna beat?" Axl asked, he quickly drew his guns and fired. "Axl Bullets!!"
Klaymoor spun a sword around, which blocked all the shots. "You were saying?"
"Go in for a closer hit, Axl!" Treble cried.
Axl nodded. He jumped into the battle field quickly, firing shots as he was running.
"Now we've got him!" Pinky cried.
Klaymoor stomped is foot down again, but this time it shook the whole battle area. Axl tripped and fell on his face.
"You're going down, boy!" Pinky cried, throwing a few chips into his PET.
First, Klaymoor shot out a boomerang that hit Axl into the air, then a series of arrows knocked him back down. Then Klaymoor appeared in front of him, slashing him with a huge sword.
"Take this!" Klaymoor cried, he picked up Axl and threw him down.
"AXL!!!!" Treble cried.
"Hee hee hee!!" Pinky laughed. "What are you going to do now, boy?"
"Time to finish this." Klaymoor said, he grabbed Axl and picked him up.
"Throw him to kingdom come!!!" Pinky cried.
"With pleasure." Klaymoor said.
Klaymoor extended his arm, and twisted into a position to throw Axl. CRACK!! A sudden noise came from Klaymoor's body. CRUNCH!!!!
"ACK!!!! Oh, my back!!!" Klaymoor whaled in pain.
"THIS IS NO TIME FOR YOUR BACK TO ACT UP!!!" Pinky screamed.
"You try having it!" Klaymoor snapped.
"Now Axl!!!" Treble cried. "Recover 300, Battle Chip in!"
Axl's health returned to normal, he fired a shot in Klaymoor face. Klaymoor lost his grip on Axl, Axl flipped up and kicked Klaymoor in the side.
"Get in there and fight!!!!" Pinky screamed.
"I've got a back-ache..." Klaymoor moaned.
"I thought he's data...." Treble said with a sweatdrop on his head.
"I've given up trying to figure this out!" Axl cried, firing another shot at Klaymoor.
CRASH!! Klaymoor collapsed to the ground. "Help... I've fallen.... AND I CAN'T GET UP!!!"
"Pathetic moron!!" Pinky yelled.
Suddenly, the black hole appeared and took Klaymoor, Pinky fell through the trap door.
"So much for those morons...." Axl said.
"That was really disturbing...." Treble said. "This tournament is SO weird!!!!"

Allan was standing near the battle machine waiting for Spotty.
"Okay, is there a reason why he's late?" Allan asked his Navi, Toyia.
"Not that I know of." Toyia said. "But Nicole did tell you he's strange..."
"She also called him a drunken moron...." Allan sighed. "Perhaps this will be an easy match?"
"I hope so." Toyia said. "I really hate to hurt anyone."
"Me too..." Allan said. "Wait, there he is!"
Spotty ran up to the battle machine and plugged in his PET. "Sorry I'm late...."
"You're always late." Bugger groaned, appearing the Cyber World.
"Hello, I'm Toyia." Toyia said. "I believe you know my older sister, Siya."
"Siya's your sister?" Bugger asked.
"Well, not really." Toyia said. "But I like to think of her as my big sister."
"Nicole's my little sister." Allan explained.
"She told me." Spotty said. "I suppose she told you all about me."
"Not much, except you're a Cyber Pirate." Allan said.
"Ready to get this battle started?" Bugger asked.
"Ready." Spotty said.
"Not really..." Toyia said.
"I'm as ready as I'm going to be." Allan said, pulling out his laptop.
"What's that for?" Spotty asked.
"I'm a computer programmer..." Allan explained.
"Whatever." Spotty said, slotting a chip into his PET. "Step Cross, Battle Chip in!"
Bugger leapt forward, slashing Toyia furiously.
"Circle Buster!" Toyia cried, firing a simple buster into Bugger's face.
"Wide Blade, Battle Chip in!" Spotty cried, throwing a chip into his PET.
Bugger slashed Toyia's blast in half, and charged in for another slash.
"Ring Roper!!" Toyia shot out a ring that surrounded Bugger.
"What the??" Bugger struggled to break free.
"You'll never break out...." Allan said. "Analysis complete."
"What the bloody hell are you talking about?" Spotty asked.
"You'll see." Toyia said.
"That does it, he's ticking me off!!" Bugger growled. "Cyber Kracken Beast Out!!!!"
"Not again...." Spotty groaned.
Bugger changed into the octopus Beast Out. His large tentacles grabbed Toyia and threw him across the stadium. Bugger broke free of the Ring Roper.
"Analysis program activate!" Allan cried, typing on his laptop.
"What the bugger are you up to?" Spotty asked.
Toyia's body lit up. He changed shape and copied the Cyber Kracken Beast Out.
"What the devil?!?" Bugger cried. "He copied my Beast Out!!!"
"With my laptop I can analyze Navis and copy their abilities." Allan explained. "It just takes time."
"You dirty little cheater!!!!" Spotty growled. "You can't beat our version of that beastie!"
"Let's put it to the test!!!" Bugger cried, firing lasers at Toyia.
Toyia countered with a laser of his own. The two canceled each other out.
"Spotty, we need a plan." Bugger said.
"The orb!! Hit the orb!!!" Spotty cried.
"The wha?" Allan asked.
Bugger nodded and ran towards Toyia. Toyia continued to fire, but Bugger seemed unaffected.
"The Beast Out's armor is amazing..." Allan said, looking over the status of the Beast Out. "It appears almost invincible!"
"Not quite!" Spotty cried. "That little beastie has only 1 weakness!"
Bugger charged up a huge beam of light at shot it at the orb on Toyia's head. KA-BLAST!!! The orb broke up, and so did Toyia's Beast Out.
"How did you?" Toyia asked.
"My secret...." Bugger said, firing another beam.
BLAST!! Toyia was blasted to the ground, defeated.
"Oh dear...." Allan said. "We almost had him....."
"This is the day you always remember as the day you almost...." Spotty began his speech, but was interrupted.
The trap door opened up from under Allan and Toyia, they both fell through in the the Real & Cyber Worlds.
"..... Captain Black Spotty....." Spotty finished, he starred at where Allan disappeared.

Elie transported herself into the battle machine and waited for Gamemaster. Gamemaster soon arrived in his ship.
"So you're the one I'm facing?" Gamemaster asked.
Elie nodded. "Yep, I'm it."
Gamemaster looked straight at Elie. "You gonna stand there or you gonna fight?"
Elie stretched her arms, yawning. "Of course I want to fight, otherwise I wouldn't be here." As she was speaking, something lightened up on her chest, near to her heart.
"Well that's something you don't see everyday." Gamemaster said. "I do believe I'm still waiting for an attack."
"I'm not used to attack for first at all." Elie smiled, as a slight red aura surrounded her. "So, uhm... Could you make the first move, please?"
"Oh you're just making this too easy for me!" Gamemaster cried, he fired a series of lasers from his fingertips.
"Thank you so much." Elie grinned, and moved her arms forward, as her hands suddenly glowed with a bright red light. She raised a glowed hand, and a circle appeared in front of it. "Fire Bolts." Several homing Fireballs bursted out from the circle, all aimed against Gamemaster.
"Not good...." Gamemaster gulped, as the Fireballs hit him hard as they passed through his lasers like they were nothing.
"Why don't you just give up?" Elie asked. "I don't have anything personal against you, so there's no point in me having to kill you."
Gamemaster pulled himself up. "Because it's all about winning, this is a tournament, you crazy witch!"
Elie just rolled her eyes. "We'll see who's crazy.... Supreme King with the frozen soul! Grant me the power of Icy Rage! Dynast Bras!"
Lighting fell from the sky and hit all around Gamemaster in the shape of a pentagram, then the light rushed into Gamemaster.
Gamemaster arose from the attack, he head his checkerboard shield in front of his face. "You're going down!" he cried, pulling out a gun at firing at Elie.
"What an idiotic move... You won't learn, will you?" Elie asked in an annoyed tone.
Gamemaster continued to fire as he landed to the ground and rushed towards Elie.
Elie closed her eyes as her hand filled with energy. "Infinite Earth, mother of all things. DUG HAUT!" She slammed her hand to the ground, the ground shook and numerous large stone spears rush out of the ground and slammed into Gamemaster.
"I won't let this woman bet me!!!!" Gamemaster once again pulled himself up. "You're gonna die!" he cried, pulling out numerous weapons of all kinds, then firing them like a nut without even aiming.
Elie closed her eyes again. "Pathetic... This is just pathetic and stupid."
"Time to die, witch!!!!" Gamemaster hollered, still firing his weapons.
Elie began chanting her spells, she was ready to finish this fight once and for all. "Lord of the Darkness and the Four Worlds, I call upon you, grant me all the power that you possess!" Elie's Oni Charms glowed, as she continued to chant her other spells.

"Lord of Dreams that Terrify, Sword of the cold dark void, free yourself from the heavens bonds, become one with my power, one with my body, and let us walk the path of destruction together! Power that can smash even the souls of the Gods! Ragna Blade!"

"Darkness beyond blackest pitch, deeper than the deepest night. King of Darkness who shines like gold upon the Sea of Chaos, I call upon thee, swear myself to thee. Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I possess... GIGA SLAVE!"

"GIGA RAGNA BLADE!!!!" Elie cried. "PETIT ETHERION!!"
First Elie threw the Ragna Blade out, sending it soaring towards Gamemaster. Then Elie shot the Giga Slave into the Ragna Blade. The Giga Slave swirled around the Ragna Blade, surrounding it creating a huge burst of black energy. The Giga Ragna Blade was heading straight for Gamemaster.
KA-BOOM!!! BLAST!!!!! BOOM!!!!!!! Gamemaster was covered in a huge explosion, while covered in the smoke he fell down the black hole that appeared below him. The smoke cleared and Elie couldn't see Gamemaster anywhere.
"So much for him...." Elie sighed.

Down below in the basement, Morgan, Kamon, Pinky, Tory & Allan fell into the group.
"Get off of me, dang it!!!" Port and Keith hissed.
"Brandon, there you are!!!" Morgan cried, she jumped out and hugged Brandon.
"So you lost too?" Brandon asked.
"Taylor!!!!!" Kamon growled, jumping up, ready to punch Taylor in the face.
"Yikes!!!!" Taylor cried.
But Kamon was hit by Koji, who was still running around like a fool. "SOMEBODY GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!!!"
"So you finally made it down here?" Billy Boy asked.
"How long have you been here?" Pinky asked.
"Don't ask." Billy Boy moaned.
"Hey Tory, you okay?" Mayl asked.
Tory nodded. "Yeah, so you guys are here too?"
Yai nodded. "Yep."
"How many times must I ask for some peace and quiet?!?" John snapped.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Allan asked.
"Well, for one thing it would take far too long to explain...." John said. "Plus the fact that it would...."
"Oh I see..." Allan said, looking over John's laptop. "You're sending a single to your Navi through the stadium's security device, hoping it will locate the other Navis?"
John's eyes lit up. "Who are you?"
"My name is Allan Leonard, I'm a computer programmer." Allan explained, pulling out his own laptop. "Perhaps we can pull together our knowledge and find our Navis together?"
"Sounds like a plan." John said. "Let's get to work!"

In the Cyber Cage, Gamemaster, Javia, Yuri, Marino, Enker, Klaymoor, Mach Jentra, Silver Horn, Toyia & Iceman fell into the cage onto the others.
"OKAY QUIT LANDING ON ME!!!!!" ImPal screamed, beating up the group.
"IMPAL KNOCK IT OFF!!!" Marino screamed.
"Marino?" ImPal asked, stopping.
"AN OPENING!!!" Mach Jentra smashed ImPal in the head with a fireball.
"Hand of Fate!!" Haloman attacked Mach Jentra.
"KNOCK IT OFF ALL OF YOU MORONS!!!!!" Rezo barked outside the cage.
"Who said that?" Yuri asked.
"YOU!!!!" Silver Horn cried. "You're the reason we're here?!?!"
"Um, kinda?" Rezo said.
"YOU'RE DEAD!!!" Mach Jentra hurled a series of fireballs at Rezo.
"200 Zenny says he'll never hit 'em...." Ferham said.
"Can I have a piece of that?" Jelloman asked.
Mach Jentra spun around and hurled a few fireballs at Ferham. "I find your lack of faith disturbing!!!" he hollered.
"YOU MORON!!!" Spearman yelled.
The few fireballs Mach Jentra sent after Rezo came flying back at the group.
"Okay, why did that happen?" Mach Jentra asked.
"Because anything we send after him comes back in our faces, DUH!!!!" Unick barked.
"I QUIT!!! I don't get paid enough for this!!!!!" Klaymoor yelled.
"Wait, you get PAID?!?!?" Enker screamed.
"Well yeah, our Operators do." Bola said. "Curse pays us."
"Spotty's a cheap bloody moron!!!!!" Enker yelled.
"You only just figured that out now?" Parlay asked.
"Will you all shut up in there?" Rezo hissed.
"Make us." Spider said.
"If you insist...." Rezo said. "I hate to release the little beastie, but you morons are annoying."
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the cage. A huge, large octopus with long tentacles appeared. It had a rainbow orb on its head.
"The Cyber Kracken!?!?" Jelloman cried. "How'd you get the program for it?!?"
"Need I remind you moron who Master Xellious's sister is?" Rezo asked.
"What the heck is that thing?" Sui asked.
"What the... An octopus on land?!" Daven cried.
"Isn't that the beast Lan used?" ImPal asked.
"Yeah, because he had the Force Metal Chip...." Marino said.
"That's the only reason he was able to use it!" Serverbot #1 cried.
"Cyber Calamari... LUNCH!!!" Gamemaster cried, jumping towards the Cyber Kracken. He fired a laser beam from the dice on his fingers.
The Cyber Kracken roared and grabbed Gamemaster with one of its many tentacles and threw Gamemaster into Katzy.
"Oh boy, we had a hard enough time with this thing last time!" Iceman cried.
"So let's take it down!!" Daven cried, he appeared behind the giant octopus and tried to attack it.
"That won't do any good!!!" Ferham cried.
Ferham was right, the Cyber Kracken snatched Daven with a tentacle and threw him into ImPal.
"Why is it always me?!?" ImPal screamed.
"Because you're nice to land on?" Daven asked.
The Cyber Kracken now fired beams from the orb on it at the group.
"Man, that thing's tough." P-Man said. "I wonder...."
P-Man & Toyia seemed to be studying the Cyber Kracken.
"You know, the Navi I just faced had a Beast Out of this thing." Toyia said. "And it's weakness was the orb."
"Really?" P-Man analyzed the large virus beast. "You might be right."
"You're going down!!" Katzy yelled, she went after the Kracken with her sword.
SNAP!!! The sword broke in half.
"Wha! My sword's broke?!" Katzy cried.
"This isn't your every-day octopus..." Glide pointed out. "We faced it during the Cyber Pirate Incident."
"Guts, what was its weakness again?" Gutsman asked.
"Roll would remember, if she was awake right now." Glide said.
"You have to hit the gem on it's head!" P-Man cried out.
"He's all mine! Imperial Mega Cannon!" ImPal flew above the Kracken and fired the cannon on his back directly at the gem.
"Ice Orb!!" Daven assisted and threw an orb at the Kracken's orb.
The Cyber Kracken exploded. KA-BLEWIE!!!

Chapter Twenty: Famous & Pirate Battle!
Nicole stepped into the stadium and quickly plugged in her PET. "Let's make this battle quick."
"I agree." Red said, standing there waiting for Siya to appear.
"Couldn't say it better myself." Siya said.
"Then let's begin!" Red cried, charging in with his scythe and aiming it at Siya's head.
Siya quickly backflipped away, and hurled a huge weight at Red.
"What the heck is this?" Red asked.
"I'm full of surprises." Siya said, she held her arm out. A bomb shot out and blew up in Red's face.
"You little....." Red snarled.
Siya flipped up and threw a ball-and-chain into Red's head. Red jumped up and grabbed the chain and pulled Siya down.
"You're dead." Red said, he hurled his scythe down, ready to chop Siya's head off.
"Invis, Battle Chip in!" Nicole threw a chip into her PET.
Siya disappeared. She barely missed the scythe aimed at her head, instead the scythe cracked the floor and was stuck. Red pulled, trying to release his weapon.
"Now we've got him." Nicole said. "Mega Energy Bomb, Battle Chip in!"
Siya threw the bomb at Red from behind. BLAST!!!! Red was knocked down, his scythe was destroyed.
"You're unarmed." Siya said, coming out from hiding. "Give up."
"Never!!!" Red cried, pulling out a sickle.
"This moron just doesn't learn...." Siya groaned.
Red leapt into the air, ready to strike Siya. Siya lifted up her back forearms, they extended up and slammed into Red's body before he could even get close.
"Ready to finish this?" Nicole asked.
Siya nodded. "Underground Burst!!!" Siya slammed her hands to the ground.
A series of swords shot up from the ground and hit Red hard, he collapsed from the shock of the attack, then fell down the black hole.
"Heh, I didn't even break a sweat." Siya said.

Mute stood in the stadium, waiting. Maddy quickly run up and plugged in her PET.
"So you're my opponent, huh?" Maddy asked.
Mute stood, silent. "....."
"Say something, will ya?" Maddy asked.
"He can't talk. Squawk! Idiot...." Speakie growled.
"He can't talk?" Wakoman asked. "Nevermind, I don't want to know....."
"Let's just get this party started." Speakie said.
"Fine, have it your way." Maddy said. "Wakoman, let's show him what we've got."
Wakoman nodded, he bounced up and shot out the large ball under his feet. It rolled on the ground at a fast speed.
"Are you kidding me?" Speakie said, he flew a little above the ball. "I'm a bird Navi, you moron."
"Hee hee hee, you think that's all it can do?" Wakoman asked.
The ball bounced off a wall and flew into the air, hitting Speakie from behind, knocking the Navi down.
"So much for the air advantage." Maddy smiled.
"We'll see about that...." Speakie growled.
Mute threw a chip into his PET.
While Speakie was still lying down, a Ratton Virus appeared and rammed into Wakoman and exploded.
"Drat, his Operator can't speak, but he can still use chips." Maddy said.
Speakie stood up. "Thanks, Mute."
Mute smiled, he slotted in another chip.
Speakie slammed his hands to the ground, a shockwave shot out and hit Wakoman.
"Arrgghhh.... Take this, Hi-Cannon, Battle Chip in, download!" Maddy growled, throwing in another chip.
Wakoman's arm changed into a cannon, he fired it at Speakie. Speakie flew up and swirled around, avoiding the attack.
Mute threw another chip into his PET.
"Sky Attack!!!" Speakie cried, as he flew straight into Wakoman, then he slashed his with a sword.
"Yikes!!! I give!!!!! I'll be deleted otherwise!!!" Wakoman cried, he jumped into the black hole as soon as it appeared.
"You stupid clown!!!!" Maddy screamed, as the trap door opened up from under her.
"Squawk!" Speakie cried. "We did it!"

"Okay, this is a little strange...." Lan said, facing Mr. Famous.
"What is?" Mr. Famous asked.
"Nevermind." Lan said, plugging in his PET.
Megaman arrived in the battle arena, he faced Kendoman, Punk & Gridman.
"Hold on a second, 3 Navis?!?" Lan cried.
"Well Gateman quit on us." Punk said.
"You mean your last opponent had to face 4 Navis?!?!?" Lan screamed. "That's cheating!!!"
"How do you expect to be a great Net Savior, Lan?" Mr. Famous asked.
"That's no excuse!" Lan snapped.
"No time for talk, TRAIN!!!" Kendoman cried, charging into battle right away.
"They're serious about this, Lan." Megaman said. "What do we do?"
"We'll have to beat them all!" Lan cried. "Cyber Sword, Wide Sword, Long Sword, Battle Chips in!"
"Program Advance: Life Sword!" Megaman cried, hurling the huge sword at the attacking Navis.
Punk transformed into a spinning blade and blocked the attack, then slammed into Megaman.
"How'd he do that?" Lan asked.
"We've been training hard in the UnderNet." Kendoman explained. "Ever since the 5 Dark Chips Incident, we promised Lord S to be more powerful than ever!"
"Because all 4 of us might just become the new guardians for Secret!" Punk cried.
"To replace Yamatoman & Darkman." Gridman added.
"So that's why you're cheating yourselves through the tournament?" Megaman asked. "I would think Serenade would be disappointed in you morons...."
"HOW DARE YOU CALL US MORONS!!?!?" Kendoman growled.
"Um, just calling it as it is?" Megaman asked.
"Let's teach him a lesson!" Gridman cried, hurling a football into Megaman's head.
"These guys aren't going to let up, Megaman!" Lan cried.
"Tell me something I don't know!" Megaman cried.
Suddenly, a Remo Gate appeared. A series of viruses came out and attacked Kendoman, Gridman & Punk.
"What the?!?" Megaman cried.
Gateman appeared out of the Remo Gate. "Hello Megaman, long time no see."
"Gateman!" Megaman cried.
"I came here because of my cheating former partners." Gateman explained. "I will not allow them to win another battle by battling without honor."
"And haul their butts back to Serenade?" Lan asked.
Gateman nodded. "That too. She & Kage will gladly punish them...."
"Oh hell no!" Punk cried. "I've been through one of Kage's punishments! It's hell!!!! And I'm not kidding!"
"You brought it on yourself." Gateman said.
"Screw you, Gateman!" Punk yelled. "I'm not going."
"You are too." Gateman said, opening the Remo Gate.
Gridman threw a football into the Remo Gate, causing it to explode. "You're not taking me back there!"
"Un, aren't you 2 taking this a bit too far?" Mr. Famous asked.
"NO!!!" Punk & Gridman hollered.
"Okay, they're beyond help..." Megaman said. "Gateman?"
"Any ideas?" Lan asked.
"One. Cinnamon gave me this Force Metal Chip to give to you." Gateman handed Megaman a chip.
"Thanks." Megaman said. "Force Metal Chip activate!"
Megaman's body lit up. An orange helmet covered his head. Orange wristbands appeared on his hands, and legs. Long blue hair stuck out of the helmet. His body had changed.
"Serenade Soul!!!" Lan cried.
"LORD S?!?!" Gridman cried.
"No, no quite...." Kendoman said. "That's Megaman's Soul Union of her...."
"Which means....." Punk said. "We're dead...."
"Doesn't scare me." Gridman said, throwing another football at Megaman.
"NO YOU FOOL!!!!" Kendoman & Punk screamed.
Megaman waved his hand, the football reversed direction and slammed into Gridman.
KA-BOOM!!! The blast hit Gridman, Kendoman & Punk.
"Morons...." Gateman grumbled. "I'll return these idiots to Lord S..."
But before Gateman could open the gate, Kendoman, Punk & Gridman were swallowed up by the black hole.
"What just happened?" Lan asked.
"Did you do that?" Megaman asked, returning to normal.
Gateman shook his head. "No, that was a black hole...."
Then another black hole appeared and took Gateman!
"Gateman!!!!" Megaman cried.
Then the trap door opened up and Mr. Famous fell through.
"Not again!!!" Lan cried. "Just like Mayl!!!"
"Lan, there's something funny about this tournament..." Megaman said.
"I know...." Lan nodded. "But who's doing this and why?"

Chapter Twenty-One: Sara Vs Dennis? A Very Terrible Twist of Fate!
"This is going to be interesting..." Sara said, Valiya had lead her into the stadium. She plugged in her PET and waited for Dennis.
Dennis slowly waked into the stadium, waving his hand.
"She can't see that, you moron." Valiya barked.
"Dennis, are you there?" Sara asked.
"... Baka Dennis..." Paladinman groaned.
Dennis didn't say anything, he plugged in his PET. "Dang it, I can't even say a word...." he thought to himself.
"Sorry about Dennis." Paladinman said as he appeared. "It seems to he had lost his speech."
"Dang it, dang it, dang it......" Dennis thought to himself.
"Why is that?" Sara asked.
Valiya just rolled her eyes. "Sara......." she groaned.
"Meh, I would guess it has to be something about this battle, he never had that kind of problem, even when someone is shooting at him." Paladinman said.
"That is strange..." Sara said.
"Are you going to start?" Valiya asked in an annoyed voice.
"... S-su-ur-e......" Dennis said, stuttering.
Paladinman sighed. "... At least it one word..."
"Is something wrong Dennis?" Sara asked.
Dennis shook his head rapidly. "... A-ah, N-no, no-nothing is r-right, I mean nothing is wrong."
"Shall we start this battle soon?" Paladinman asked.
"I have a feeling this is NOT going to end well...." Valiya said.
"Okay, Paladin, you know what you have to do, right?" Dennis asked.
"I know, let's begin." Paladinman said, dashing towards Valiya.
"Beam Sword." Valiya simply said, forming the rod in her hands.
Dennis inserted an Invis Chip into his PET. Paladinman turned invisible, still running towards Valiya.
"Great. He's gone." Valiya said.
"Wait...." Sara said.
Dennis then inserted a Fanfare Chip into his PET. A Fanfare Virus appeared in the battlefield and began to shout out.
Valiya just stood there, starring at it.
Dennis then inserted another chip, then Paladinman appeared behind Valiya, and tried to hold her.
"Now!" Sara cried.
Valiya jabbed the rod in her hand right behind her and into Paladinman, which then Paladinman turned into a doll.
"Anti-Damage!" Valiya cried, jumping back.
A shuriken hit the ground in front of Valiya and Paladinman landed behind her.
"Rainbow Laser!" Valiya spun around and shot a laser at the Fanfare Virus, deleting it.
Dennis quickly inserted 2 chips. Paladinman's right arm turned into a Vulcan Cannon, he fired it at Valiya.
"Rainbow Barrier!" Valiya quickly created a barrier of rainbow colors to protect herself.
Paladinman stood there, unsure of what to do next. "Danmit, there's something important I have to tell, but it seems to I can't get close enough, without hurting her too much...." he thought to himself.
Dennis didn't say anything, he insert a Sanctuary Chip, and the battle field became a Holy Field.
"Any ideas, Sara?" Valiya asked.
"One. Life Aura, Battle Chip in!" Sara cried, slotting a chip into her PET.
An aura surrounded Valiya, protecting her combined with her Rainbow Barrier.
"Wait for him to make the next move!" Sara cried.
"Maybe I can lure her into the field of holy panels... Oh, I know." Paladinman thought to himself, standing still.
Valiya got a confused look on her face, then walked up to Paladinman. "Do you want something?" she asked.
Paladinman jumped two times back and took a fighter stance. "Not really, but I have a message to deliver: 'The stranger invites the many kids of Darkness to an unknown isolate building. The many kids of Darkness came to the unknown building. After their arrival, one of the kids, the sister of the Rainbow Guardian, was lost and vanished. But maybe not just one, maybe it's more. The kids of Darkness will fall one by one, if they don't keep their guard. One of the Guardians will fall to the Rainbow Guardian. And hopes that the Rainbow Guardian quickly will tell to the kids of Darkness..."
"Huh?" Valiya looked at Paladinman puzzled.
"There's the key word....." Dennis muttered to himself, inserting something into his PET.
"... We'll see you soon. Please be careful." Paladinman said, holding his hand up. "I'll forfeit!"
The black hole appeared under Paladinman, taking him down. Dennis fell down the trap door at the same time.
"What did that mean?" Sara asked.
"I'll explain later, let's get out of here fast." Valiya said.

THUMP! Down in the basement, Dennis landed on Keith, Mr. Famous landed on Dex, and Maddy fell on her face.
"GET OFF OF ME!!!!!" Keith screamed, kicking Dennis of his back.
"What did you do that for?!?" Dennis yelled.
"YOU LANDED ON ME!!!" Keith snarled.
"... Sheehs, that oobakamono. What is this place anyway?" Dennis asked.
"You're the basement, duh." Pinky said.
"How'd you get here?" Lynn asked.
"Lynn! Glad you're safe." Dennis smiled.
"So you lost too?" Brandon asked.
"Um, not really." Dennis said.
"WHAT?!? You gave up?!?" Keith yelled. "Moron."
"... I forfeited for the one I love, okay." Dennis snapped. "And I told her to warn the others, I have encoded some data in Paladinman, which should help him if he is in trouble..."
"Oh how romantic!!!" Sally cried.
"Oh what an idiot!" Keith grumbled.
"Oh shut up, you!" Mayl bashed Keith in the head.
"This basement, have you guys check any holes or ventilation?" Dennis asked, looking around.
Brandon sighed and pointed to Koji. "Believe me, if there were any, he would have LONG found it by now...."
Koji was still trying to find a way out, and running around the room.
"I see...." Dennis said with a sweatdrop on his head. "... Anyone tried upwards?"
"If you could fly....." Mr. Blue Nose said, pointing up.
"Yeah, that Xel guy hovered above us before, but we couldn't reach him...." Blaze said.
"Hey.... Someone new.... Is here...." Shori said.
"Did she just not notice him?" Allan asked.
"Don't mind her, she's always like that." Anthony said.
"What kind of material is the wall made of?" Dennis asked.
"Like we would know?" Snippy asked.
"Hmm... Do anyone of you have a knife?" Dennis asked.
"Well he had a gun in his shoe that went off...." Heather pointed to Steve.
"I had a knife, but I lost it." Steve said.
"Great...." Dennis groaned.
John turned to Dennis. "Did you say that you put an encoded data in your Navi?"
Dennis nodded. "Yes, why?"
"Perhaps we can use it to locate all our Navis." Allan said.
"You're working on a program to locate the Navis?" Dennis asked.
John nodded. "Using my laptop."
"Any luck yet?" Yai asked.
"Not yet, but let's see if we can track down Dennis's program in Paladinman." John pointed out.
"Sounds like a plan." Dennis said.

Down in the cage, Paladinman, Wakoman, Red, Gateman, Kendoman, Punk & Gridman fell onto ImPal & Spearman.
"QUIT LANDING ON ME!!!" ImPal was seriously angry, he bashed Wakoman into the ground.
"Where is this place?" Paladinman asked, looking around. "Hey Ailias, status report?"
"Um, everyone that lost goes down here?" Ailias said.
"I think he can figure that part out...." Marino grumbled.
Paladinman sighed. "... Of course, do you know anything else about this place?"
"Nope. Except that he's in charge..." Parlay said, pointing to Rezo.
"Roll's condition is getting worse...." Kiya said, her Star Heal was no longer keeping Roll's colors from fading.
"Do you know what is going to happen, and what happened to Roll?" Paladinman asked.
"She's been like this since she got here...." Daven explained.
"That's bad, really bad..." Paladinman said. "Tch, I can't just Holy Panel under her, without that guy noticing... God, I would wish my baby-sister was around....." he thought to himself.
"Any ideas?" Haloman asked.
"Is this wall removable?" Paladinman asked.
Searchman shook his head. "Nope. We tried that and all attacks bounce back at you."
"All attacks will bounce back... Is this made of mettaur helmets?" Paladinman thought to himself, he stepped up closer to the bars to inspect them.
"And just what might you be doing?" Rezo stepped up to the cage and barked.
"Just looking." Paladinman said.
"Don't make me sick another Cyber Kracken at you morons." Rezo threatened.
"And we'll beat it like the last one!" Gamemaster cried.
"WE?!?" ImPal glared at Gamemaster.
"Ah, who cares...." Rezo turned and mumbled. "They'll be gone soon anyway...."

Back upstairs, the winning Net Ops gathered to see who they would face next.
"I'm still a little confused about what Paladinman said...." Sara said.
"It's simple once you think about it...." Valiya pointed out. "That Xellious guy invited all the people involved with the 5 Chips of Darkness, right? Well everyone that has lost has disappeared, that means something's going on."
"True." Sara said.
"Hey Sara." Lan walked up to Sara with the rest of the group.
"What is it?" Jane asked.
"I think this tournament is a trap." Sara said.
"I was thinking the same thing." Daniel nodded.
"Yeah, like a trap from that moron that invited us?" Nicole asked.
"Possibly...." Spotty looked thoughtful.
"What's on your mind?" Elie asked.
"Nothing, you should know that." Spotty said.
"Yeah, and I know you well enough to be able to tell when you're hiding something!" Elie snapped.
"What do you mean?" Treble asked.
"It's nothing." Spotty said.
"Hey, you guys going to check out the board, or what?" Ryan called out. "Sweet, I'm against some moron named Yahoot."
"Fine." Lan turned and his jaw dropped. "I'm against Dora?"
"Hmm, I'm against Virina...." Andrew said.
"Ah, Virina, haven't seen her in a while..." Daniel said, then looked at the board.
"I see we're facing each other...." Nicole said, smiling at Daniel.
"Then we'll have to make it an excellent match." Daniel said.
"Okay, this board is crazy..." Lizzie groaned.
"Why is that?" Sara asked.
"Because I'm facing Spotty." Lizzie answered.
"Oh bugger." Spotty muttered.
"Looks like Mute is against...." Speakie stopped for a moment. "Curse Pearl?!?"
"Dammit, I wanted to face him...." Daniel mumbled.
Chaud looked at the board. "... Oh, come on! Why do I have to battle Black Heart! Just my luck..." he thought to himself.
Lan looked on the board. "You're facing Black Heart?!? Isn't she dead?"
Elie looked at Lan. "Um, technically I am too...." she pointed out.
"That's right, she's a Navi, right?" Treble asked.
Chaud was standing unnerved, but inside, his brain was racking in fear. "Out of all the people in the tournament, why did I get stuck with Black Heart?"
Elie cracked her knuckles. "Too bad I'm not facing her, I wanted to kill that witch once and for all."
Spotty placed a hand on Elie's shoulder. "Well, save that energy for Curse's daughter."
Elie looked up at the board, she was facing Marina Pearl. "Oh, okay..."
"Oh boy...." Axl gulped.
"What is it?" Treble asked.
"We're facing Sara...." Axl answered.
"Oh great...." Treble groaned.
"I see I'm facing Yuna." Alex said.
"And I'm against someone called Roxy Williams." Jake said.
Then Lan saw some familiar names on the board. "Wait.... Is that Shuko, Tamako, Sal & Miyu?"
"Hey Lan." a woman with green hair stepped up to the group.
"Sal, it is you!" Lan cried.
Next to Sal was a woman with bluegreen hair and a black and purple outfit. She was holding a crystal ball. "I sense a great evil behind this tournament....."
"Me & Miyu are in the tournament as well." Sal said.
"Hey, you guys are in a double battle with Firefox & Telsa." Lan said.
"Hi Lan...." a girl with purple hair slowly stepped up to Lan, next to her was a man with glasses and brown hair.
"Shuko!" Lan cried. "Long time no see, and hey Higsby!"
"Yes, it's been a while." Higsby said.
"Hey there, Lan." a woman with long black hair stepped up to Lan.
"Tamako!!" Lan cried.
"Oh, you're my partner in the double battle, right?" Shuko asked.
Lan looked at the board. Shuko & Tamako were named together.
"Yeah, we're facing Mr. Match & Count Zap." Tamako said.
"What about you, Higsby?" Lan asked.
"I'm facing Commander Beef...." Higsby said.
"That should be interesting considering that they both are crazy for Ms. Mari...." Megaman said.
Then another familiar face stepped up to the group. "Hey guys, miss me?"
"Leo?" Daniel asked. "What are you doing here?"
"Wait, aren't you the guy with the chain saw Navi?" Spotty asked, jumping behind Elie.
"Well, well, well. Lookie look." Chainsawman said from Leo's PET. "The stupid evil gang has returned. It's been a while."
"We're not a stupid evil gang." Spotty snapped.
"No, he's just stupid." Elie remarked.
"Who are you up against?" Alex asked Leo.
"One of those moron pirates, Quint, I think." Leo said.
An old man with a blue rope on and a long white beard approached the group. "Long time, hello everyone."
"Dr. Cain!" Lan cried. "What are you doing here?"
"Grandpa?" Jane spun around. "What's up?"
"GRANDPA?!?" Everyone turned to Jane.
Dr. Cain laughed. "I came to see Jane. Actually, I'm just her legal guardian, but she likes to think of me as her grandfather."
"My parents died when I was a little kid, I don't even remember them." Jane explained.
"I know what that's like." Treble sighed. "Not having your real parents around or remembering them, I mean."
"Dr. Cain has raised me my whole life." Jane said. "What did you want anyway?"
"I came to give you this." Dr. Cain handed Jane a chip. "Here's the program whistle for Beat if you need him."
"Beat? The same Beat you gave to us before?" Lan asked.
Dr. Cain nodded. "Originally he was a program pet for Jane."
"Well, he should help with the upcoming battles." Jane said.
"Who are you facing?" Dr. Cain asked.
Jane looked at the board. "I'm against someone named Ibuki."
"Well, we better be ready for these battles, anything could happen." Megaman said.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Dora, Virina, & Necronus!!
Andrew strides up to his battle area. "Ready Soldierman?"
Soldierman nodded as he arrived in the battle machine.  "Affirmative."
Virina jumped out of a Virus Portal into the digital battle area.
"So we finally get to fight, Virina." Soldierman said.
Virina nodded. "Yes. Don't underestimate me because I just got some upgrades...."
Soldierman shook his head. "I won't, because I've been upgraded as well."
"Lets start!" Virina cried. "VC PROGRAM! V-BUSTER GAMMA ACTIVATE!"
A normal black buster appeared on Virina's right arm and she started shooting.
"S-BUSTER, GATLING MODE!!" Soldierman cried.
Soldierman's Buster became a Gatling Gun and began firing rapidly at Virina. Soldierman ran and dodged the shots from Virina's Buster while he was firing back.
"I'm going to get deleted if this keeps up!" Virina thought to herself.
"The unstable programs....." E-Virina said in Virina's head.
"UNSTABLE BECAUSE OF YOU!" Virina shouted at E-Virina
"I won't do anything! I promise! I want to win this to you know." E-Virina said.
"VC PROGRAM! V-BUSTER OMEGA SECURITY OVERRIDE ACTIVATE!" Virina shouted.
Virina's V-Buster grew bigger and started glowing black.
"S-BUSTER, LASER MODE!!" Soldierman cried, his buster glowing as well.
Virina began charging her Omega V-Buster, where as Soldierman was ready to attack.
"Fire!!" cried Soldierman, firing at Virina.
But before the beam of energy could hit Virina, she fired her charged Omega Shot and it collided.
"Good, but not good enough!!" Soldierman said. "S-BUSTER, LASER GATLING MODE!!"
Soldierman's Buster turned into a fast-firing Gatling Laser Cannon. He fired it repeatedly at Virina.
"DARKCHIP PROTECTION ACTIVATE!" Virina cried.
Virina dodged most of the shots and activated a Dark Sword Chip on her right arm while the V-Buster moved to the left arm.
"Try this on for size!" Andrew cried, throwing a few chips into his PET. "Sword, Wide Sword, Long Sword! Battle Chips, download!"
Soldierman's S-Claymore extended in length. "Program Advance, LIFESWORD!!"
Soldierman continued to fire his Buster as he charged at Virina.
"I SURRENDER!" Virina cried, she opened a Virus Portal, trying to escape.
"A wise choice." Andrew said.
"MY TURN!!" E-Virina declared in Virina's head, taking control as Virina stepped into the portal.
"Oh well, so much for that." Soldierman said.
Suddenly, a portal appeared behind Soldierman which E-Virina jumped out of trying to hit Soldierman with the Dark Sword.
Soldierman spun around. "Two can play at that game, Virina. BERKUT CROSS!!"
"SONIC BLADE!!" Soldierman dashed past E-Virina multiple times. Each time he dashed past her, he slashed her with his sword.
E-Virina fell down knocked out from Soldierman's slashes.
"That's what you get for cheating." Soldierman said.

E-Virina fell down the black hole but slowed her fall with many portals. She then landed on P-Man.
"Get off me!" P-Man growled.
"Friend of yours?" Toyia asked.
"Yeah...." P-Man groaned. "You could say that..."
"What do you mean by that?!?!" E-Virina snarled, whacking P-Man in the head.
"E-Virina, are you in control?" P-Man asked.
"Oh crap, it's the split personality Navi again..." ImPal groaned.
"What the hell are all of you doing here?" E-Virina asked.
"What does it look like?" Spider snapped.
"I WANT CONTROL BACK!!!" Virina hollered in E-Virina's head.
"Fine. We lost anyway." E-Virina said, giving back control to Virina.
"Sorry about that....." Virina said.
"Is your evil half no longer in control?" Paladinman asked.
Virina nodded. "Well, at least for now..."
"So, how's it going with contacting our Operators?" Salabi asked.
"So far....." Toyia sighed. "No place.... We're not getting a thing...."
"Well we need to try harder." Ailias said. "Roll's looking worse!"
Ailias was right, Roll's body was turning darker and darker.
"Hey, what's going on over there?" Rezo asked.
"Nothing, go back to annoying someone else." Spearman said.
"I could kill you, moron." Rezo growled.
"Then why haven't you killed us?" Daven asked.
"Because I might still need you." Rezo said. "Now shut up before I have to shut you up."
"Excuse me, but are you Rezo?" a voice asked in Rezo's head.
"Who?" Rezo spun around.
"Meet me and your master in your PET." the voice said.
"What's with him?" Haloman asked.
"He's talking to himself....." Unick said.
"......" Rezo didn't say anything, he logged out of the Cyber Area.

Rezo appeared in his PET. "Sir, someone wishes to speak to you."
Xel spun around, he was sitting in the seats above, waiting for Lan & Dora's battle. "Who?" he asked, holding up his PET.
A Navi appeared with a sword-staff and shield. "I am Necronus, my master wishes me to avenge the defeats of Programmer-Man and Virina and possible future defeat of Mr. Dark Chip. In return I and possibly the Navis I just mentioned and their Operators will assist you to the best of my or possibly our abilities as long as it doesn't cause to much harm to my master or there is a risk that is simply to big."
Xel shook his head no. "Forget it. What makes you think I'll listen to you?"
Necronus chuckled. "Maybe this little message tells you why: 'The Reaper's Revenge is waiting for its souls....' Sound familiar?"
Xel's eyes almost exploded out of his head. "Okay, I'm listening...."
"Simple actually, As long as there are no conflicts between plans, you can count on my assistance if you don't stop me from being in the tournament." Necronus explained. "I also suggest treating the ones I mentioned with respect so they don't hate you completely and might also help. However their assistance is not guaranteed. You should find I'm already on the list register with my master even though he will not be here."
"No problems at all...." Xel said with a sweatdrop on his head.
"And your Operator's name is?" Rezo asked.
"Edward Adams." Necronus said.
"Oh, I see..." Rezo said, looking over the list. "He was just added, he's fighting Justin Green."
"How does he know of the Reaper's Revenge?" Xel muttered under his breath.
"So why won't your master attend?" Rezo asked.
"SHUT UP AND ATTEND TO THE PRISONERS!!!" Xel screamed.
"Fine." Rezo groaned.
Necronus smiled. "Good. Now I will be going to my first match....."

Xel sighed and looked at the battle arena below. Lan had arrived and was waiting for Dora. Dora had an evil look in her eyes as she walked into the arena.
"Lan Hikari... Perfect........." Dora smiled and said to herself.
"Now that he isn't under the protection of Lord Serenade, I can 'accidentally' delete him...." Mr. Dark Chip thought to himself.
"Let's hope Megaman survives this battle Lan Hikari...." Dora said with an evil smile on her face as she jacked Mr. Dark Chip in.
"Oh boy..." Lan gulped. "Watch out Megaman, since he's made of Dark Chips...."
"Now that Serenade isn't protecting you, you better fight Megaman......" Mr. Dark Chip said, activating a Dark Sword on his arm.
"Like you could beat me....." Megaman shrugged.
"Let's go." Lan said, downloading a Long Sword Chip into his PET.
The sword appeared on Megaman's right arm.
"So you want a sword duel? Fine with me." Mr. Dark Chip said, charging in for a slash at Megaman.
"Area Grab, Battle Chip in!" Lan threw another chip into his PET.
Megaman disappeared and appeared behind Mr. Dark Chip, avoiding his slash.
"FIGHT SO I CAN DELETE YOU!" Mr. Dark Chip hollered.
Megaman shook his head. "And stand still to be deleted? No way. Mega Buster!" Megaman fired his buster.
Mr. Dark Chip let the shot hit him. "You're kidding right?..... You're going to fight me with your standard weapon?....... I WON'T ACCEPT AN INSULT LIKE THAT!!!!!!! DARK CANNON!!"
Mr. Dark Chip ran up close and fired the purple cannon at Megaman.
"Look out!" Lan cried.
CRASH!! The blast sent Megaman flying, he crashed to the ground, but jumped back up.
"Charge Shot!" Megaman fired his buster again.
Mr. Dark Chip slashed the blast in half with his Dark Sword. "I don't get how you can be considered a hero, Megaman.. You cant even fight properly..... What did Lord S think when coming to you for help?"
"Who said I'm trying to fight at full power?" Megaman asked.
"I'm trying to delete you and you wont even fight back at full power." Mr. Dark Chip groaned.
"You should have Megaman checked Lan..........." Dora said with a sweatdrop on her head.
Lan shook his head. "I'm the one who told him not to fight at full strength. I don't want to hurt you...."
"THEN YOU SHOULD BE CHECKED IN AT A SANITARIUM!!!!" Dora hollered.
Mr. Dark Chip looked annoyed. "DARKCHIP RAGE! DOUBLE EFFECT! DARK SWORD!"
Dora started laughing evilly figuring Megaman was doomed.
"Proto Soul! Navi Chip In! Download!" Lan threw a chip quickly into his PET.
"So that's how you want it..." Mr. Dark Chip started spinning around with his sword.
"Sonic Boom!" Megaman cried.
Several Sonic Booms come at Mr. Dark Chip from several different directions, but Mr. Dark Chip dodged the Sonic Booms, making it appear easy.
"COME ON! This is the best you've got?!?" Mr. Dark Chip yelled.
Mr. Dark Chip was then slammed in the back by another Sonic Boom.
"OK that did hurt a little....."  Mr. Dark Chip groaned. "Dark Recovery!" he healed himself and then was surrounded by a black glow.
"Axl Soul! Navi Chip In! Download!" Lan threw another chip into his PET.
"You do know you are a coward using those chips don't you Lan?" Dora asked.
"Would you rather I use the actual things?" Lan asked.
Dora rolled her eyes. "What I mean is that you and Megaman rely on the strength of other Navis!"
"Axl Bullets!" Megaman fired two busters that appeared in his hands.
Mr. Dark Chip yawned "I barely felt that."
"This is the best you've got?" Dora asked, cocking an eyebrow. "Are you sure you're Lan Hikari?"
"You don't get it, and you never will." Lan said.
"Copy Shot!" Megaman fired the shot at Mr. Dark Chip. Megaman changed shape, he turned into a copy of Mr. Dark Chip.
"Get him with his own power!" Lan cried.
Megaman nodded, he jumped out, and slashed Mr. Dark Chip with a Dark Sword.
"Dark Recovery! Dark Sword!" Mr. Dark Chip cried, he lunged forward and jabbed his sword into Megaman.
"I get that you have no possibility of beating my Navi since he just gets stronger and stronger every time he is healed right now." Dora said.
"What do you mean by that?" Lan asked.
"You see, the Dark Chip Rage increases the power of the Dark Chips." Dora explained. "It doubles the effect of any Dark Chip. In other words, it restores him to double his full health and strength."
"That means we need to neutralize the Dark Power...." Lan racked his brain to think of a way to stop this Navi.
Megaman jumped up and tried to slash Mr. Dark Chip again with the Dark Sword, but he dodged. Mr. Dark Chip's right eye starts twitching while he was dodging.
"Either you stop copying my form or I won't have ANY mercy on you." Mr. Dark Chip warned. "I will have a personal vendetta on you!"
"Lan, this isn't working." Megaman said.
"No duh." Dora remarked.
"Let's try this one, Meddy Soul, Navi Chip in!" Lan threw a new chip into his PET.
Megaman changed shape and looked like Meddy. Mr. Dark Chip stood for a moment, then a black glow surrounded him.
"Um, that doesn't look good..." Lan gulped.
"YOU THINK?!?" Megaman snapped.
"YOU!!!!!!!" Mr. Dark Chip was enraged, he thrust forward and slashed through Megaman, canceling his Soul Union.
"You got something against Meddy?" Lan asked, confused.
"That little Navi.... I'LL TAKE HER HEAD OFF!!!" Mr. Dark Chip proclaimed.
Dora laughed a little. "We just faced her and she kind of ticked him off...."
"Oh great...." Lan groaned, then he threw another chip into his PET. "Cinnamon Soul, Navi Chip in!"
Megaman now look like Cinnamon, but he had to jump quickly to avoid Mr. Dark Chip who was swinging his sword like crazy.
"Force Metal Chip: Darkness Drain!" Megaman cried, creating a Force Metal Chip and activating it.
A wave of bright energy slammed into Mr. Dark Chip, he fell down to his knees. "How did you figure it out?"
"Simple. You're pure Dark Chips, so use a Holy or Nurse Type Navi to destroy the darkness." Megaman explained.
"Dark Recovery! Dark Sword!" Mr. Dark Chip cried, now he had 2 Dark Swords, one on each arm, he jumped ahead and stabbed Megaman with both swords.
"Idiot....." Mr. Dark Chip remarked.
"Not really...." Megaman chuckled.
"Anti Damage!" Lan had thrown a chip in right before the swords hit.
Megaman turned into a doll, while at the same time Mr. Dark Chip was stabbed in the back by 3 Shurikens.
"NOW I'M MAD!!!!" Mr. Dark Chip growled.
"Which is NOT GOOD...." Dora said with a sweatdrop on her head.
"DARK SWORD!!!!!" Mr. Dark Chip jumped out once again, he tried to cut off Megaman's arms now.
"Cyber Sword! Wide Blade! Long Blade! Battle Chips in, download! Life Sword 2!!!" Lan cried, throwing the chips into his PET.
"This is going to hurt....." Mr. Dark Chip grumbled.
The huge sword appeared in Megaman's hands, he threw it down with all his might, the Life Sword crashed into Mr. Dark Chip, sending him flying then crashing to the ground.
"Here goes! Force Metal Chip: Super Buster!" Megaman created a new Force Metal Chip and activating it, firing a more powerful MegaBuster at Mr. Dark Chip.
"HEY! It's cowardly to attack those who are down!" Mr. Dark Chip hollered, before fainting and falling through the black hole.
"I bet you wouldn't have had a problem with it if I was down....." Megaman muttered to himself.
Dora then jumped after Lan. "TIME FOR ROUND 2!!!!"
"What the heck?!" Lan cried.
Dora missed Lan and fell down a trapdoor.
"That was really strange....." Lan said.

Down in the basement, Dora landed oh John's head.
"GET OF ME SIS!" John hollered.
"Oh, hey there." Dora said.
"I take it you lost too?" John asked.
"Hey, at least I got through a few rounds..." Dora snapped. "Hey, where's my PET?"

Down in the cage, Mr. Dark Chip landed on P-Man's back.
"GET OFF ME BRO!" P-Man screamed.
"Oh, how'd I get here?" Mr. Dark Chip asked.
"Simple, you lost dummy..." Meddy said.
"YOU!!!" Mr. Dark Chip got an evil look in his eyes.
"Oh boy...." Meddy gulped, she jumped behind everyone. "HELP ME!!!!"

Chapter Twenty-Three: Black Red Magic
Black Heart stepped into the stadium and just looked at Chaud. "You're my opponent?"
Black Widow laughed as she saw Protoman when she logged in. "I'll crush you!!"
"....." Chaud didn't say anything.
"What's wrong, scared boy?" Black Heart asked.
"I'm going to have you for lunch!!" Black Widow declared, she started the attack. "Stinger!!"
A series of stingers shot out from Black Widow's back. Protoman dodged them, then thrust forward with his sword.
"Stupid move..." Black Heart chuckled. "Webbing!!!" cried Black Widow, shooting out tons of webbing that surrounded Protoman.
"Nope, that won't do anything. Protoman, use this! Heatshot!" Chaud threw a chip into his PET.
Protoman fired a shot of fire that burned the webbing.
"Now, Firal Form!" Chaud commanded.
Protoman nodded. "Roger that." he quickly converted into his Firal Form. "Take this! BLAZE BOMB!"
Protoman jumped into the air, he created a huge ball of fire and shot it at Black Widow.
"You think you can beat me with that? DRAGON SLAVE!!!" Black Widow cried.
A huge burst of energy shot out from Black Widow's hands, she sent it after Protoman's attack.
"I modified her a little." Black Heart explained.
"That won't stand a chance." Chaud said.
The two attacks collided, causing a huge explosion. Protoman ran through the smoke and came after Black Widow with his sword. Black Widow pulled out a stinger from her hand and used it like a sword it counter.
"HAI-YAH!" Protoman cried, he struck Black Widow's stinger hard and shattered it.
Black Heart punched a few buttons on her PET. Black Widow shot out a powerful beam of energy at Protoman. Protoman quickly dodged all of the beams. Then, using his super speed, he moved so fast that he left images behind him.
"Just try to hit him, you'll never hit the target." Chaud said.
"Oh really?" Black Widow laughed, as she shot out her stingers in multiple directions.
All the after images disappeared, but Protoman wasn't there! He thrust the sword right through Black Widow's head, and tried to delete the cruel navi. SLASH!!! Protoman hit Black Widow hard, she collapsed to the ground and her data was in pieces.
"Looks like I win." Chaud said.
"Don't think you can win that easy..." Black Heart laughed.
A black orb remained where Black Widow stood, her body changed shape, and grew larger than before.
"Thank you, I needed a new look." Black Widow smiled, her stingers were larger than before. "Now let's play for real..." she shot out 10 large stingers, they were as long as flag poles.
"Anti-Damage, Battle Chip in! DOWNLOAD!!" shouted Chaud. A doll was left at Protoman's place, and several shuriken were launched at Black Widow.
Black Widow shot out a shield of webbing to protect herself. "You'll have to do better than that." she teased.
"Fire Sword, Battle Chip in!" Chaud threw another chip into his PET.
Protoman slashed his flaming sword that Black Widow's shield of webbing, which quickly burned. He then stabbed her in the back with the sword. Black Widow pulled off one of the stingers from her back and jabbed it into Protoman's chest. Protoman was sent flying back in pain.
"Protoman, are you alright?" asked Chaud.
"I think so. I can still fight!" Protoman cried. "Chaud, let's use plan XQ!"
Chaud nodded. It was his favorite. "Okay! LET'S DO IT!"
Protoman revved up his wheels on his feet, and speeded towards Black Widow at super speed. He was so fast, a burning trail was left behind.
"Dang that little red Navi...." Black Heart cursed. "Black Widow, you know what to do." she pressed a button on her PET.
"DARKNESS GIGA SHOCK!!!" Black Heart filled the air with a shockwave of purple energy.
Chaud chuckled. This had been what he had been waiting for. Suddenly, Protoman started going into a huge circle. A flaming tornado rose up, and shot the Darkness Giga Shock right back at Black Widow.
Black Widow was blasted down to the ground, but she slowly stood up. "I... WON'T LOSE!!! DARK CLOUD TORNADO!!!"
A huge black tornado came thundering down at Protoman. Protoman felt the strain of the tornado, but kept going. He had to push a little harder to reflect this one back at Black Widow.
"You're good. But not good enough! Giga Slave!!!" Black Widow hurled a large blast of black energy at Protoman.
"Wait, that's my move..." Black Heart remarked.
Protoman once again did it, but he was finally feeling the strain of the amount of power he used, but he managed to reflect it back. Black Widow rolled around the ground in pain, she tried to stand up but wasn't having much luck.
"Um, maybe I should jack you out." Black Heart said.
"NO!!" Black Widow yelled with the last of her breath, and collapsed, she fell down the black hole.
Protoman stopped ot a halt, and almost immediately was reverted to his normal form.
"Are you okay, Protoman?" asked Chaud.
"Just peachy." replied the red navi.
"So why hasn't she fallen down the trap door?" Chaud asked.
"Because it's not over yet....." Black Heart remarked, her body glowing.
"What the hell?!?!" Protoman cried.
A beam of light shot from Black Heart's body, her body reverted to a Copybot, as her data was sent into the battle machine.
"That's right, she's a Navi!" Chaud slapped himself in the forehead.
"I can't lose this tournament...." Black Heart declared. "So you're in the way...."
"Hold it! This has to be against the rules!!!" Chaud yelled.
"I make the rules now." Black Heart smiled, she began chanting a spell. "Black charge of darkness that is blacker than thy night, purge me with your darkness so that I can become one with your power, infuse me with the power to destroy all those who oppose me! DARK CHARGE BLAST OF DESTRUCTION!!!"
A massive amount of purple energy filled Black Heart's hands, all five of her amulets glowed, pouring out balls of energy that formed together. Black Heart hurled the massive charge of power at Protoman.
"Look out!!!" Chaud cried.
Protoman tried to run, but there was no where to go. He quickly threw up his shield, but it did no good, the shield shattered into pieces, and Protoman was still hit by the overwhelming attack.
"Still alive?" Black Heart asked, her charms glowing. "Lord of the Darkness and the Four Worlds, I call upon you, grant me all the power that you possess!"
"What is she doing?" Chaud asked.
"I purge myself to the Lord of Chaos, bring to thee the power to destroy that which stands before me." Black Heart chanted the spell. "Help me finish what I started, to erase my opponent from existence. Darkness Twilight!!!"
A spiral of light surrounded Protoman, hammering him, soon the black hole appeared.

Black Widow & Protoman came crashing down into the cage.
"YOU &%@^ING RED NAVI!!!!" Black Widow hollered.
"How'd I get here?" Protoman groaned.
Black Widow spun around. "Oh hell, how'd I end up down here with you morons?"
"You lost." Scarface answered.
Black Widow grabbed Scarface's neck and tried to strangle him. "DON'T BRING IT UP!!!!!!"
Xel's face appeared in a Cyber Widow, his eyes just about exploded out of his head. "How'd my sister's Navi get here????"
"SISTER?!?!?" Protoman cried.
"Oh bugger, did I just tell them that Black Heart's my baby sister?" Xel muttered to himself, then he cleared his throat. "Er-hem, Um, I mean: WHO THE HELL IS THE SPIDER NAVI THAT I HAVE NO RELATION TO?!?" he screamed, trying to hide his secret.
"Yeah, that was smooth..." ImPal remarked.
"Remind me again how he became my Operator?" Rezo asked.
Black Widow suddenly stood up. "YOU?!? LET ME OUTTA HERE YOU NO GOOD!!!"
Rezo fired a small fireball at Black Widow. "Don't mind her...."
"She's gonna kill you now...." Spearman said.
"Why would she?" Rezo asked. "I don't know that crazy spider..."
Black Widow jumped up. "THAT DOES IT!!! GIVE ME BACK THE ORAL BLACK CHARM I GAVE YOU FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!" she screamed.
"Hey, she's evil, she'll say anything." Rezo said.
"I doubt that." Haloman said.
"Wait, you all lost too?" Black Widow asked. "So what is my brother up to?"
Rezo jumped, he tried to pretend that he didn't know Black Widow. "Brother? What brother? I'm an only Navi Child."
"This is confusing...." Sui said.
"I'll clear everything up: Black Widow and Rezo are related, but Rezo is hiding it." ImPal said.
Protoman turned to Black Widow. "You can do magic, right? Then use it and get us out of here."
"Why should I help you?" Black Widow asked.
"Because you're stuck here too." Daven pointed out.
"You've got a point." Black Widow sighed. "RAY WING!!!"
Everyone starred at Black Widow, nothing happened.
"..... RAY WING!!! Ray Wing!!!!! Ray WING!!!!!!!!!!!!" Black Widow shouted. "Why aren't my powers working?!? Someone put a locker on my powers! But who? ......... REZO, you tell XELLIOUS this isn't funny!!!!"
"I know I'm gonna regret this, but who's Xellious and why would he lock your powers?" Mr. Dark Chip asked.
"Because he's Black Heart's crazy twisted older brother!!! He's up to his tricks again!!!" Black Widow pointed out.
"Well this is just great. We're gonna be stuck here forever..." ImPal groaned.
"Wait, how did you all end up here anyway?" Black Widow asked.
"You mean the weirdo that approached us?" Zippo asked.
"What did he look like?" Black Widow asked.
"Well he had purple hair, a large staff with a red jewel, and a tan cloak." Spearman said.
"Same here." Glide said.
"I was invited by that guy." Daven pointed to Rezo.
"You are kidding, right.......? WHAT THE HELL IS XELLIOUS UP TO?!?" Black Widow hollered at Rezo.
"None of your business." Rezo said.
"Well that makes me feel better. At least I understand why we're stuck here now." ImPal said.
"You do?" Gutsman asked.
"Why are we here?" Kiya asked.
"Yeah. But I'm not gonna say it because then Black Widow will kill me." ImPal said.
"How about I kill you if you don't say it?" Black Widow snarled, holding a fireball.
"Well it's kinda obvious. He's related to you, so he's either evil, or crazy." ImPal said.
Black Widow growled and threw the fireball at ImPal.
"I told you!" ImPal yelled, dodging the fireball.
"Wait, I think I got a signal from John!" P-Man cried.
"Rezo, remember your orders...." Xel said.
"Oh, all right...." Rezo grumbled. "Okay, where are Virina, Mr. Dark Chip & Programmer Man?"
"THERE!" Meddy pointed to them. "GO GET THEM!!"
"Oh good." Rezo said, waving his hand. "You're not going with them."
P-Man, Virina, & Mr. Dark Chip were teleported out of the cage.
"Anyway, now that you 3 are safe.... TAKE IT AWAY, MASTER DEVIL MASTER!" Rezo cried.
"Acknowledged...." a voice said.
KER-CHUCK! A cable attached to the cage, and started lifting it up.
"Where are we going?" Unick asked.
"A new location?" Katzy asked.
"My master wishes a meeting with you...."  Rezo explained, he turned to Virina, Mr. Dark Chip & P-Man. "Except you 3."
"Not that I mind not having to meet your master but why aren't we forced to meet him?" P-Man asked.
"Quit asking questions, will you? Be glad you're not joining them." Rezo snapped.
"Tch, what would you gain by taking them?" Paladinman asked.
"Yeah. Why do those three get to leave?" ImPal asked.
"None of your business." Rezo snapped. He checked to make sure the cage was attached to the cable properly.
"I don't like the looks of this..." Parlay said.
"Okay, take them away!" Rezo yelled out.
The cable lifted the cage up, everyone looked up, to see where they were going. They were heading for a large ship, it looked like a ghost ship.
"All aboard the Reaper's Revenge...." Rezo laughed.

Chaud landed on his feet when he reached the basement, and looked around.
"Oh, so you've come to join us?" Yai asked.
"Where is 'here' anyway?" Chaud asked.
"Don't know." Port said.
"Hey Chaud, do you have a knife?" Dennis asked.
"Yeah, why?" Chaud asked, handing it to Dennis.
Dennis walked over to the wall, knocking at the wall trying to find a place where it might sound different.
"What are you doing?" Mayl asked.
"Trying to find a weak spot..." Dennis said, he continued knocking at the wall.
RRRUUUUMMMBBBLLLEEE..... A sound filled the room.
"Now I know I heard that...." Snippy said.
"Where's that sound coming from?" Dennis asked.
"I think I found them!" John cried.
Xel suddenly appeared above them. "Will Dora & John please stand up?"
"Not that I mind, but what do you want with me and my sister?" John asked.
"Don't ask." Xel said with an embarrassed look on his face, his staff glowed and he teleported with John & Dora.
"Hey, how come they get to leave?" Dex asked.

Xel appeared in another small room, but this one had a huge dinning table filled with all kinds of food.
"Here, eat up and make yourselves at home." Xel said.
Dora's eyes lit up and she starting eating all the food.
"Umm.... Thank you and please excuse my sister's table manners... " John said with a sweatdrop on his head.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Cybermancer, Master Hand, & the Chainsawman!
Nicole and Daniel entered the stadium at the same time. They both jacked in their PETs.
"Ready to lose?" Siya asked.
"Your power is pathetic compared to my true power." D-Nightmare proclaimed.
"We'll see about that...." Siya said.
"CYBER MAGICKS, AID ME!!" D-Nightmare cried.
The icon on D-Nightmare's chest began to glow fiercely, surrounding him in light. When the light dissipated, a new Navi was formed. This Navi had cybernetic wings, cybernetic buster cannon, and a vicious-looking cybernetic sword.
"Cybermancer, ready for battle." the Navi said.
"Wait a second..... You can't change Navis!!!" Nicole screamed.
"There's no rule about it, and besides this is a form of D-Nightmare you just have never seen." Daniel explained.
"We'll have to deal with it, Nicole." Siya said.
"Fine." Nicole growled, throwing a chip into her PET. "Lance, Battle Chip in!"
A series of bamboo lances shot up from the ground, attacking Cybermancer. Cybermancer began to charge a globe of energy in his hands.
"Black dragon who sleeps in the red flame; With your mighty roar, burn my enemies down!!! GAAV FLARE!!"
Cybermancer launched the Black Magic Spell at the bamboo lances, burning them in an instant.
"Not bad." Nicole said.
"Underground Burst!!!" Siya cried, slamming her hands to the ground while Cybermancer was busy burning the bamboo lances.
A series of sword came up right under Cybermancer's feet, attacking him.
"Cybermancer, it's time to execute the new program." Daniel said.
Cybermancer nodded, reverting back to D-Nightmare. "Roger that."
"GENESIS OVERDRIVE!!" Daniel cried.
D-Nightmare stood there, a dark aura surrounding him. "I... Won't... LOSE!!!"
D-Nightmare's eyes turned pitch black as he let loose the power of the GENESIS Program. His body was surrounded by an aura that was a dark as obsidian. D-Nightmare let loose with a primal roar as he stood in front of Siya. His eyes glowed crimson as he let loose with another primal roar.
"GRRRRAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"
D-Nightmare became more beast-like in form. His Muramasa blade became razor-sharp claws. Two massive, draconic wings burst from his back. "Witness the power of my feral fury!!"
Siya smiled. "Cool move, but I can do better!" a purple flame surrounded her.
D-Nightmare held out his clawed hand. A globe of energy appeared. "Source of all power, crimson fire burning bright! Gather together in my hand and become an inferno... BURST FLARE!"
A massive ball of appeared by Siya. It then exploded, covering the area in blue-white flame.
Siya bursted out of the purple flames, and leap out into D-Nightmare's face, unleashing a furious series of punches and kicks.
D-Nightmare blocked the punches and kicks, countering with a powerful series of slashes. Siya threw up a huge sword in the way, and threw it at D-Nightmare. D-Nightmare slashed through the sword and then at Siya with his claws.
Siya jumped back after being slashed a few times, and placed her hand on the ground. Multiple sword shot up from the ground all around D-Nightmare. D-Nightmare swung his claws and shattered the swords.
"POWER OF NATURE, GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO OBLITERATE MY FOES!!" D-Nightmare then slammed the globe into the ground. "GAIA'S FIST!!"
Massive beams of energy shot from the ground, hitting Siya many times.
"Life Aura, Battle Chip in!" Nicole threw another chip into her PET.
An aura protected Siya as she tried to shove a sword into D-Nightmare. D-Nightmare brought one of his claws down on Siya's sword, shattering it.
"EAT THIS!!" D-Nightmare shot Siya with his buster.
Siya jumped back and tried to throw a sword into D-Nightmare's Buster.
"I'd figured you'd do that! MASTER GENESIS CANNON!!" D-Nightmare shot Siya at point-blank range with the Master GENESIS Cannon.
"Holy....." Siya's words were cut off, the black hole appeared under her before the attack hit.
"Hey wait a second!" Nicole yelled. "We weren't done yet...." suddenly the trap door opened up from under her feet.
"Perfect." Daniel said.

Ryan run into the stadium and plugged in his PET right away. He looked up at Yahoot. "You're going down!!!"
"We'll see about that." Yahoot said.
"Oh please, Jack Out before you get hurt." Magicman said.
"Ha! I've already beaten down two opponents, prepare to be surprised." NintendoMan cried.
"Let's see you handle a few viruses!" Magicman cried.
Magicman held out his arms. A series of viruses appeared.
"Oh please...." Ryan yawned, he slotted in a chip. "Bomberman, Summon Chip, Custom Chip in, download!"
A little white and blue Navi appeared.
"What's that?" Magicman asked.
"That's Bomberman, he'll take care of your viruses." Ryan explained.
Bomberman suddenly started throwing bombs like crazy. Then a huge bomb appeared in front of him, which he jumped ontop of and rolled down to Magicman.
KA-BOOM! The bomb blew up, deleting Bomberman, and hitting Magicman hard.
"That was good...." Yahoot groaned, throwing a chip into his PET. "M-Boomer!"
Magicman shot out a boomerang at NintendoMan.
"NES Shield!" NintendoMan blocked it with a huge NES.
"Dang it!" Magicman cursed.
"Ryan, lets finish this quickly!" NintendoMan cried.
"Heh, let me see...... Hm, lets try this out!" Ryan said, throwing another chip into his PET. "Master Hand, Cross Fusion Chip in, download!"
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" NintendoMan's GBA's turned into white gloves, his whole body turned white, he grew bit taller, and floated above the ground.
".... What? That's it? I thought I got to ride Master Hand!" NintendoMan yelled.
"I'm still working out the bugs, okay! Just attack already!" Ryan screamed.
"Fine, fine." Nintendoman grumbled. "TAKE THIS!"
NintendoMan formed his two hands into gun shapes, they both fired rockets out at Magicman.
"That.... Wasn't.... Too bad...." Magicman barely said.
"You were hit! Log Out!" Yahoot screamed.
Suddenly, the black hole appeared under Magicman, pulling him in. The trap door opened up under Yahoot.
"Yehaw! Another one bites the dust!" Ryan cried.
NintendoMan broke out of Master Hand Cross, breathing heavily. "Takes.... Too.... Much.... Energy...."
"I thought I fixed that bug...." Ryan said.
"..... No ..... You........ Didn't....." NintendoMan said in-between pants.
"Heart Container, Custom Chip in, download!" Ryan quickly threw a chip into his PET.
A large heart appeared in front of NintendoMan, he grabbed it and it replenished a lot of his HP.

Leo quickly plugged in his PET as soon as he reached the stadium.
"Don't I know you?" Quint asked.
"I..... HATE...... MUGGERS!!!!!!" Chainsawman snarled.
Quint gulped. "Oh yeah..... You...."
"Haven't I seen you somewhere before?" Leo asked.
"No, no, no...." Quint said. "You've got me confused with someone else!"
"I don't think so...." Leo shook his head. "Chainsawman never forgets a mugger..."
Chainsawman jumped out, he started beating up Quint right away. "THIS IS WHAT I DO TO MUGGERS!!!!!" he hollered.
"Stop it!!!" Quint cried. "Sakugarne!"
A jackhammer appeared and Quint quickly jumped on it. He bounced up into the air and landed on Chainsawman's head.
"NOW YOU'RE DEAD!!!" Chainsawman started hacking and slashing at Quint.
"Un-oh." Quint gulped.
Chainsawman got an psycho look in his eyes. 4 slots opened in Chainsawman's shoulders and knees and fired 4 discs.
"Right arm transform!" Chainsawman cried, his right hand turned into an twin chainsaw hand. "Now I'm twice the fun!"
"HOLY CRAP!" Quint gulped.
"HOLY IS RIGHT!!!" Chainsawman declared, he sliced Quint's Sakugarne in half. "Now you're next!"
"I WANT MY MOMMY!!!!!" Quint screamed.
The black hole appeared in front of Quint.
"I'm saved!" Quint cried.
"Oh no you don't!" Chainsawman said, coming after Quint again. "I don't let muggers get away that easy!!"
"I'm not a mugger!" Quint protested, he ran and jumped down the hole seconds before Chainsawman went in for a slash.
"Dang it, he got away." Chainsawman grumbled.
"Eh, don't worry about it." Leo said. "At least we scared the hell out of him!"

Chapter Twenty-Five: A Hidden Secret
"Where the hell is she?" Elie cursed, she grumbled while waiting.
Marina slowly walked into the stadium and plugged in her PET. "I will get revenge for my father and my mother.... Lina Inverse!"
"Ah, so you know who I am?" Elie asked, cocking an eyebrow. "Where's your mama to cheat you into the top?"
"I don't need her." Marina snarled. "Or my father, I can handle myself."
"Same here, after all I was created through a piece of Black Widow's Data." Lifhia said.
"I don't remember everything, but I am remembering what a pain you were as a little kid." Elie grumbled.
"And you murdered my mother!" Marina growled.
"Um, actually she tried to kill me, get your facts straight, kid." Elie pointed out. "I killed myself to protect those I love most, who your mother was going to kill."
"I'll still never forgive you for what you did." Marina said. "Father did everything to save her, and now she's a Navi because of it!"
"What the hell do you think I am?" Elie scolded.
"Like I care what you are?" Marina asked.
"Well if your mother, Black Heart, hadn't come after Spotty and Treble in the first place...." Elie said.
"What happened to you anyway?" Marina asked. "You didn't seem to remember everyone the first time we all faced each other again, plus you were calling yourself this Elie Inverse."
"None of your business." Elie snapped.
"At least my father was smart enough to allow mother to keep her memories." Marina said.
"That wasn't the reason I forgot...." Elie grumbled.
"Well whatever, I still don't get it why your sorceress charm is still missing." Marina said.
"What?" Elie asked with a confused look on her face.
"What's wrong? Having a memory loss again?" Marina asked.
"What in the world is she talking about?" Elie asked herself. "What charm?"
"Ah heck, you probably lost it." Marina said. "Too bad since it was pretty. I remember seeing it on you when I was little."
"You know the older you get, the more annoying you get?" Elie asked.
"Enough!" Lifhia yelled. "Let's just get this over with!"
"Couldn't have said it better myself." Marina said. "Once I defeat you, I'll get Spotty for my father."
"You won't reach Spotty, that's for sure. I'll prevent you from doing that, witch..." Elie declared.
"We'll see about that." Marina said.
"What are you going to do? Kill yourself again for that moron?" Lifhia asked. "Boy are you a sucker...."
Elie growled, stomping a foot on the floor. "AND DON'T CALL ME SUCKER, YOU BASTARD! EARTH GLAIVE!"
A bunch of spikes rose from the ground just from underneath Lifhia. Lifhia's wings shot out and she rose above the spikes.
"I can fly, you know." Lifhia pointed out, she flew towards Elie.
"Valis Rod." Elie said quietly, forming a black ball in her right hand and turning it into a long whip. "Come on, witch, I'm waiting for you..." she added.
"Sonic Wave!!" Lifhia shot out a series of sonic waves at Elie.
"You are going to try harder than that, right?" Elie asked, waving the Valis Rod in front of her. "Otherwise this is a waste of my time. Go get your mother so I can delete her existence from this world."
"Oh really? Good luck trying." Marina remarked as she chuckled.
"You laugh just like an annoying goose." Elie said rolling her eyes. "Bomb di Wind." she added, sending a powerful gust of wind which crashed into the sonic waves.
"Is that all you've got?" Lifhia asked, flying quickly around the blasts. "Paralyze Laser!" a red beam shot out from her eyes.
"You know this is only the smallest part of my powers, baka... Windy Shield." Elie said, repelling the enemy's spell with ease. "Take this now... Dolph Slash."
Lifhia flew around this attack as well. "Then hit me with your best shot!" she proclaimed, firing another sonic wave.
"Ray Wing." Elie flew up, as a sphere of wind protected her. She charged at Lifhia. "Not yet, I want to have fun first... Ruby-Eye Blade." She slashed at Lifhia three times on her chest, one vertically and two diagonally, before flying back, expecting her enemy to counter-attack.
"It's time I used this custom chip from mother." Marina threw a chip into her PET.
"Ragna Blade!" Lifhia cried, as a black and purple sword appeared in her hands.
Elie shook her head. "You want to already show me your best moves? How sad..." she said, as the Ruby-Eye Blade suddenly got bigger and reached the Ragna Blade's size. It looked like the Ragna Blade itself, but instead it was red. "You want to bet I can beat your crappy sword with this?" Elie grinned.
"We'll see about that!" Lifhia cried, she flew into Elie, ready to slash her.
Elie quietly flew back, and when she saw the slash coming, she parried it with her Ruby-Eye Blade with ease, and pushed Lifhia away. "Told ya..." she said grinning.
Lifhia was furious. "I'll get you!!!"
"Try this one!" Marina threw another chip into her PET.
"Giga Slave!" Lifhia fired what looked like a Giga Slave into her Ragna Blade, the two attacks formed together and came after Elie at incredible speed.
"You'll pay for that, witch!!" Elie growled, narrowly avoiding the blast, which crashed in part into her Ray Wing, and flying away from Lifhia quickly. She glared at Lifhia, as the Ruby-Eye Blade died in her hands. "Okay then... I'll show you one of my new toys." She pulled out a small crucifix, which looked like a small sword.
"Blessed power coming from Etherion and the second Master, show the fool who's trying to stand in my way the true power of light. TEN COMMANDMENTS."
The small crucifix glowed in a blinding light, and turned into a huge sword, with a musical note on the silver blade. "Now try to attack me again if you have the courage..." Elie said, grinning and holding the mysterious sword in her hands.
"If you wish, Inverse." Marina said, re-entering the same chips into her PET.
"Let's finish this!" Lifhia cried, this time she held the Giga Ragna Blade tightly and flew towards Elie.
"I have to agree this time, let's finish this." Elie said quietly, waiting for Lifhia. When she was closer, Elie collided her sword with Lifhia's own, and a big explosion pushed Lifhia away like as if a shockwave did hit her fully. Elie's sword blade had turned into a golden color, with some red symbols on it, and was smaller than its first form.
"Oh no!!!" Marina cried.
Lifhia was unconscious on the ground, the black hole soon took her in.
"Dammit Inverse! I won't forget this!" Marina screamed as she fell through the trap door.
"Neither will I...." Elie muttered to herself.

"Oh dang it, I have to face you?" Curse growled, as he faced Mute.
"...." As always, Mute didn't speak.
"Squawk! We'll beat you!" Speakie declared.
"Yeah right, polly." Medallion said.
"Let's end this quick, there's someone I want to face and it isn't you." Curse said.
"If you say so." Speakie flew into the air, and tried to dive-bomb Medallion.
Medallion countered with a sword and stopped Speakie, then he jumped back and morphed into a tiger.
"Nice kitty...." Speakie gulped.
Medallion leapt out and slashed Speakie, then he jumped again and landed on Speakie's back.
"Feather Buster!" Speakie threw his arm back and fired his buster in Medallion's face.
Medallion fell down to the ground and transformed into a hawk. He flew up into Speakie.
"Feather Blizzard!" Speakie swirled around, a blizzard of feathers appeared, each one hammering Medallion.
Medallion crashed to the ground, and then took the form of a dragon.
"Oh boy." Speakie gulped.
Medallion shot out a fireball at Speakie. Speakie flew around it, but didn't see a second one that hit him! Speakie's feathers caught on fire!
Mute threw an Aqua Tower Battle Chip into his PET. The tower of water hit Speakie, that took the fire out.
"He won't last long now." Curse said.
Medallion didn't waste time. He flew up from the ground and soared above Speakie.
"What's he doing?" Speakie asked.
Suddenly, Medallion came falling down and slammed ontop of Speakie, forcing him underneath Medallion as they both hit the ground hard.
"You make a new throw-pillow." Medallion said.
"Get your heavy butt off of me!!!" Speakie yelled.
Medallion's tail whapped Speakie in the head, then Medallion got off of Speakie. Speakie tried to stand up.
"It's over now." Curse said.
Medallion reverted to his normal monkey form, and charged in with 2 swords, slashing Speakie repeatedly. SLASH! SLICE!!! Speakie collapsed, he fell down the black hole.
Mute just stood there with his mouth open, then the trap door took him.
"Dammit, I want a challenge!" Curse growled. "I want to get that Daniel!"

"Well let's do this, Spotty." Lizzie said.
"Bugger." Spotty groaned.
"Well?" Lizzie growled.
"Mary, you really wouldn't beat the hell out of me, would you?" Bugger asked.
"I'll think about it." Mary said with a sick smile.
"You go first." Spotty said.
"What's wrong with you?" Lizzie asked.
"Nothing." Spotty said.
"Fine, get him Mary!" Lizzie cried.
"FUN TIME!" Mary cried, she leapt into the air with her sickle.
"Neo Var Sword, Battle Chip in!" Spotty threw a chip into his PET.
A yellow and green sword appeared, Bugger used it to block Mary's sickle.
"Nice." Mary said, she kicked Bugger in the face.
Mary backflipped and then threw her sickle towards Bugger.
"YIKES!!!" Bugger cried.
"Barrier, Battle Chip in!" Spotty threw another chip into his PET.
A small barrier protected Bugger from the sickle. But Mary had pulled out a new weapon. She had a Scythe in her hand.
"Where'd you get that thing?" Bugger asked.
"Lizzie made it for me." Mary said. "NOW LET'S RUMBLE!!!!"
Mary jumped out so fast, in an instant, she was in Bugger's face, hacking and slashing at him.
"SPOTTY!!!" Bugger hollered. "Think of something!!!!!"
"You know you're asking for the impossible, right?" Lizzie asked.
Spotty didn't say much, he sighed and look at Lizzie. "Sorry Liz, but I can't let anything happen to Treble...." he pressed a button on his PET.
"What does that mean?" Lizzie asked, confused.
"BEAST OUT!!!!" Bugger transformed into the Cyber Kracken Beast Out.
"What the heck?" Mary said. "Oh well, more target practice!!!"
Mary started slashing Bugger's tentacles, but each tentacle just regenerated!
"Dang it!" Mary grumbled.
"My turn!" Spotty said.
Bugger shot a beam of light from the orb on his chest. Mary's Scythe was destroyed.
"Not bad...." Mary said, she charged in for a punch.
But Bugger's tentacles grabbed her before she could, he shook her around and fired a beam right into her. CRASH!!! Mary crashed to the ground.
"I'm not beat yet!" Mary leapt back to her feet, and tried to kick Bugger.
Once again, Bugger grabbed her with his tentacles, he threw her in the other direction.
"NOW I'M GETTING MAD!!!!!" Mary screamed, she pulled herself up and tried again.
"Let's do it, Bugger!" Spotty cried.
Pours of light filled the orb on Bugger's chest, it formed a huge beam of light that slammed into Mary's chest, it knocked her over.
"Time to finish this, Fire Sword, Aqua Sword, Elec Sword, Bamboo Sword, Battle Chips in!" Spotty threw 4 chips into his PET.
"Program Advance: Element Sword!" Bugger cried, the sword appeared on his hand.
Bugger charged in and slashed Mary fours times with the advance, as he turned to fire another beam at her, the black hole appeared and took Mary.
"Mary!!!" Lizzie cried. "What happened to her?"
Soon the trap door opened and Lizzie fell through.
Bugger reverted to normal. "Think we did the right thing?"
"You know better than that...." Spotty scolded. "But I know she wouldn't be able to watch out for the others...."
"So you do think that...." Bugger's words trailed off.
"It's him....." Spotty said. "He's here.... For me....."

Chapter Twenty-Six: Double Battles!
Sal & Miyu entered the stadium, ready to face Firefox & Telsa.
"Are you ready to lose?" Telsa asked.
"Are you?" Sal asked.
"This battle will be over in 5 minutes." Miyu said, as she placed her crystal ball down.
"What makes you say that?" Firefox asked.
"Don't listen to her." Telsa said.
"Let's do this, Jack In, Woodman!" Sal cried, plugging in her PET.
"Jack In, Skullman!" Miyu cried.
"Jack In, Magnetman!" Telsa cried.
"Jack In, Napalman!" Firefox cried.
The 4 Navis appeared, ready for battle.
"Hee hee hee, this is going to be one hell of a party!" Skullman cried.
"Yeah, where you lose!" Napalman cried, firing out a bomb.
"Wood Tower!" Woodman cried, holding his arms up.
A series of Wood Towers appeared and destroyed the bomb before it hit the ground.
"Magnet Tackle!" Magnetman was on the move, he slammed into Woodman, then made a blue clone of himself and rammed into Woodman several times.
"Bonemerangs!" Skullman cried, holding his arms out, which shot out like boomerangs.
The bonemerangs whacked Magnetman off balance, giving Woodman a chance. Woodman punched Magnetman, then hit him with a Wood Tower.
Napalman fired a series of bombs, setting off explosions throughout the area.
"Great, now we can't see." Sal said.
"3 minutes." Miyu said.
"Will you quit counting the time and help?!?" Sal screamed.
Skullman placed his hands together and formed a purple ball of flames, he hurled it at Magnetman. But the blue Magnetman was still coming.
"Bamboo Sword, Battle Chip in!" Sal threw a chip into her PET.
A sword appeared on Woodman's arm, he slashed through the clone Magnetman and deleted it.
"Un-oh." Magnetman gulped.
"I'll cover fire!" Napalman cried, firing the two busters on his arms.
Magnetman used the cover fire to come charging in and slam into Woodman. Skullman was too fast to catch, but then Skullman disappeared!
"What the?!?" Napalman cried.
"Where'd he go?" Magnetman asked.
"1 minute." Miyu said.
Suddenly, Skullman appeared and hurled a series of purple fire balls at the 2 Navis. Woodman pulled himself up and punched both Navis hard, knocking them over.
"That does it!" Telsa growled. "I am not losing!"
"Me neither!" Firefox said.
"What are they doing?" Sal asked.
"It will be over soon." Miyu said.
"OPERATION LAST RESORT!" Firefox & Telsa cried. "SELF-DESTRUCT!!!"
Both Napalman & Magnetman's bodies glowed with bright light, then a huge explosion shot out from them, hitting both Woodman & Skullman. Smoke covered the whole battle arena.
"Un-oh." Sal gulped.
"I'm over." Miyu said.
"Who won?" Sal asked.
"Um, I hope you're not afraid of falling." Miyu said.
"What do you mean by that?" Sal asked.
The smoke cleared, all 4 Navis were unconscious, and the black hole took them all.
"Hey! That's my Navi!" Telsa screamed.
Then the trap door opened underneath all of them!
"MMMIIIYYYYUUUU!!!!" Sal screamed.
"I said the match will be over in 5 min, I didn't say who would win...." Miyu said.

"Well where are they?" Mr. Match grumbled. "I want to finish this match fast so I can defeat Lan!"
"Like you had any luck before?" Count Zap remarked.
"This time will be different, you'll see." Match said.
"Whatever." Zap sighed.
Tamako walked into the stadium, Shuko hid behind her.
"C'mon, there's nothing to be afraid of." Tamako said.
"Okay...." Shuko said.
"Are ya'll going to just stand here or are we going to battle?!?" Match growled.
"Shut your trap and Jack In." Tamako snapped.
All 4 plugged in their PETs.
"Ready, Metalman?" Tamako asked.
"Ready as ever!" Metalman replied.
"Let's get them!" Match yelled.
"Roger." Torchman said.
"Fire Arm!" Torchman cried, holding out his arms.
2 powerful bursts of fire shot out towards Metalman.
"Sequence Bolt!" Elecman cried.
Elecman's hands filled with electricity and he held them in the air. In seconds, lighting bolts came crashing down towards Aquaman!
"Aquaman!" Shuko cried.
"Got ya covered!" Tamako cried. "Iron Body, Battle Chip in, download!"
Metalman's body turned bright sliver and grabbed Aquaman, protecting him from the on-coming attacks. Metalman took the full force of the attacks, but still stood up.
"Not bad." Match said.
"Take this!" Metalman cried, he grabbed a metal blade on his shoulder and threw it.
SLICE! One of Torchman's arms were cut off.
"Damn you!" Match growled.
"Spout Stream!" Aquaman cried.
A hose appeared in Aquaman's hands, he fired a long steady stream of water at Torchman.
"Lighting Rod, Battle Chip in!" Zap threw a chip into his PET.
A series of Lighting Rods appeared throughout the field.
"What are those for?" Shuko asked.
"Thunderbolt!" Elecman cried, electricity exploded from his body.
The electric blast hit the Lighting Rods, which shot out the electric blast throughout the whole battle arena!
Aquaman & Metalman were hit bad!
"Metal Punch!" Metalman jumped up and charged into Elecman, slamming his fist into the Electric Navi.
Metalman pounded Elecman so hard, the black hole took him.
"Elecman!!!" Zap cried, then the trap door took him.
"I'm not falling down there!" Match cried.
"What choice do you have?" Tamako asked. "Your Navi already lost 1 arm."
"He's not all I have." Match said with a smile, he pressed a button on his PET.
2 Fire Navis appeared. Heatman & Flameman!
"Hey, that's cheating!!!" Tamako yelled.
"WWW does everything to win!" Match said. "DESTROY THEM!!!"
"Oh dear, my bad luck caused this..." Shuko said.
"Now is not the time to be depressed!" Tamako screamed. "Now's the time to fight!"
"Spout Bomb!" Aquaman fired a burst of water at the Fire Navis.
"Heat Wave!" Heatman cried.
A wave of fire came up, the Spout Bomb knocked the fire out, but now Heatman folded up into a block, and jumped into the air.
"Heat Press!" Heatman cried as he landed near Metalman & Aquaman.
Fire towers shot up from the ground, hitting both Navis.
"Metal Gear!" Metalman threw a metal gear into the floor of the battle arena. The metal gear spun out and slammed into Heatman, causing him to revert to normal.
"Flame Line, Battle Chip in!" Match threw a chip into his PET.
A line of flames shot out from Flamerman.
"Aqua Blade, Battle Chip in!" Shuko placed a chip into her PET.
Aquaman used the water-filled sword to stir up a wave of water that crashed down on the line of fire.
"So much for that." Tamako said. "I say we wrap this up."
"I agree." Metalman said.
Metalman's body lit up, he dashed forward and punched Torchman into Heatman & Flameman.
"Let's put this fire out." Metalman said, turning to Aquaman.
"Let's do our best, Aquaman!" Shuko cried.
"Drip Shower!" Aquaman cried.
Aquaman ran out and started spinning. His twin waterspouts shot out powerful streams of water.
"WATER!!!" the 3 Fire Navi screamed. "NOT WATER!!!!!"
The flames on Torchman, Heatman & Flameman were extinguished.
"Area Grab, Battle Chip in!" Tamako threw another chip into her PET. "And Gold Fist, Battle Chip in!"
Metalman's hand turned into a large, gold fist. He then appeared in front of Torchman, Heatman & Flameman.
"Take this!" Metalman slammed his fist into the 3 Fire Navis, causing huge damage. The 3 Fire Navis were taken by the black hole soon after.
"DAMMIT YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!!!" Match screamed as he fell through the trap door.
"We did it!" Aquaman cried.
"Nice job." Tamako said.
"Thank you." Shuko said, smiling.

Down in the basement, Nicole, Yahoot, Marina, Mute, Lizzie, Telsa, Sal, Miyu, Firefox, Count Zap & Mr. Match crashed onto Keith.
"DAMMIT GET OFF OF ME!" Keith screamed.
"At least they didn't fall on me." Brandon said.
"Oh god, not more." Koji groaned. "This place is just too small for this many people."
"If you go nuts again on us I swear I'll kill you." Mr. Blue Nose remarked.
"See you guys lost too." Maddy said.
"It appears the odds were against us." Yahoot said.
"Odds?" Zap asked. "More like we got our butts kicked."
"Even with 3 Navis, we still lost!" Match growled.
"I tried that, it didn't work." Mr. Famous said.
"So where the hell are we?" Telsa asked.
"This place has an evil presence...." Miyu said.
"Oh really?" Sal said. "Like we couldn't figure that part out?"
"I want out of here!" Marina growled, kicking the wall.
"We've tried all that, it doesn't work." Snippy said.
"Afraid he's right." Dennis said. "There doesn't seem to be a way out."
"Ouch, dammit that hurt." Nicole stood up.
"Nicole!!!" Keith noticed Nicole and ran up trying to hug her.
"Oh hell." Nicole punched Keith in the face.
"So anybody got an ideas on how we get out of here?" Lizzie asked.
"We've been working on that the whole time." Anthony said.
"And I see the progress you've gotten...." Lizzie remarked.
"Let's see you do better!" Pinky snapped.
Then a strange sound filled the room once again.
"Did you hear that?" Port asked.
"Yes, I did." Chaud said.
"We've been hearing that for a while now." Mayl said.
"So what is it?" Blaze asked.
"Whatever it is, it can't be good." Koji said.

As the cage was docked into the ship, the newest arrivals fell into the cage. Siya, Magicman, Quint, Lifhia, Speakie, Mary, Skullman, Woodman, Magnetman, Napalman, Elecman, Torchman, Heatman & Flameman fell onto the group.
"Dang it, where'd all you come from?" Spider asked.
"Duh, moron." Black Widow said. "They lost."
"Where in the world am I?" Mary asked.
"Mary! You're okay!" Spearman ran up to Mary.
Mary punched Spearman in the face. "Oh, it's you." she looked and lowered her arm.
"What was that for?" Spearman asked.
"I thought you were some moron trying to attack me." Mary said.
"Don't mind her, it's a reflex." Marino said.
"A dangerous one...." Ailias said.
"Where are we?" Siya asked.
"Some kind of cage." Paladinman answered.
"That tells us a lot." Quint grumbled.
"Yah, but now we're being docked to a ship." ImPal added.
"A ship?" Magicman asked.
"Yep, but no idea what it is." Parlay said.
"I wanna go home!" Meddy cried.
"We all want out, Meddy." Teal said.
"What happened to Roll?" Mary asked.
"Don't know." Jelloman said.
"I'm hungry." Yuri said.
"You're always hungry." Daven said.
Suddenly, the cage was pulled into the ship where they could see a cargo hold.
"Are we in storage?" Salabi asked.
"Sure seems like it." Glide said.
"So why don't we break out of here?" Napalman asked, he fired a bomb at the cage.
"NO YOU IDIOT!!!!" Wakoman screamed.
The bomb bounced back and blew up at everyone!
"What was that?" Woodman asked.
"This cage has a protection in it." Scarface explained.
"Yah, it bounces all our attacks back." Protoman added.
"Well that makes it hard to escape." Elecman said.
"No kidding." Sui said.
"So now what do we do?" Torchman asked.
"I guess we wait...." Ailias said. "Until we can find out who's behind this...."

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Crystal Rainbow
Jane awaited her battle, a woman in a navy blue dress stepped up to the battle machine.
"So you're here." the woman said. "I'm Ibuki."
"I'm Jane Crystal." Jane replied.
"Well, let's get this over with." Ibuki said, plugging in her PET.
An orange and green Navi appeared. "My name is Itsuki." the Navi said.
"Well I'm Aqua." Aqua said.
"Nice to meet you." Itsuki said.
"Well let's begin this battle." Ibuki said.
"Triangle Sword!" Itsuki cried, forming a sword of triangles.
"Aqua Sword, Battle Chip in!" Jane threw a chip into her PET.
A water-filled sword appeared on Aqua's arm, she ran forward and clashed the sword with Itsuki's.
Ibuki sighed. "This battle will be short. Elec Blade, Battle Chip in."
Itsuki's other arm transformed into an electric-filled blade, he crossed it with Aqua's sword and electrocuted her.
"Aqua!" Jane cried.
Aqua was knocked down by the electric attack, but she stood up. "I'm okay."
"Oh.... You're gonna pay for that." Jane growled.
"You shouldn't give your opponent an opening." Ibuki said.
"Triangle Shower!!" Itsuki shot a triangle into the sky.
Suddenly, triangles started crashing down like meteors. Aqua ran quickly to try to avoid them.
"Yikes!" Jane cried. "Barrier 200, Battle Chip in!"
A barrier appeared to protect Aqua, but after a few triangles hit, the barrier was broken.
"Area Grab, Battle Chip in!" Jane threw another chip into her PET. "And Var Sword, Battle Chip in!"
Aqua disappeared for a moment, then appeared behind Itsuki with a bright yellow sword on his arm which she slashed Itsuki with.
"Triangle Buster!" Itsuki spun around and shot Aqua with his buster that shot out triangles.
BAM! Aqua was so close she was hit hard!
"This is not going well." Aqua said.
"Time to end this." Ibuki said. "Time Bomb, 1, 2, & 3, Battle Chips in."
"A Program Advance?" Jane asked, scared. "Aqua, move quick!"
A huge bomb appeared near Itsuki, and started counting down. Itsuki picked up the bomb and threw it towards Aqua.
"When it hit here, it'll explode!" Aqua cried.
"Time to return to sender then!" Jane cried.
"Right!" Aqua cried. "Aqua Hurricane!!!!"
Aqua fired a spiral of water that turned into a whirlwind which knocked the bomb back at Itsuki.
"How did she?" Ibuki asked.
BOOM!!! The bomb went off in Itsuki's face.
"Oh now you'll pay you little..." Ibuki growled. "Tank Cannon, Battle Chip in!"
Itsuki fired the attack at Aqua, but Aqua was ready.
"Aqua Dive!" Aqua cried.
There was some Cyber Water on the ground from Aqua's attack, she dove into the water and disappeared, just at Itsuki fired.
"Where'd she go?" Itsuki asked.
Aqua sprang out of the water and fired. "Aqua Spiral!" 4 shot of water hurled together and hammered Itsuki.
Itsuki was knocked out, and the black hole took him.
"Nice." Ibuki said, then the trap door took her.
"We did it, Jane!" Aqua cried.
"We sure did." Jane said.

Treble waited around until finally Sara showed up.
"Sorry, had a hard time finding here." Sara said.
"Finding?" Treble said, looking at the hologram of Valiya on Sara's shoulder.
"What can I do if she doesn't listen to my directions?" Valiya asked. "The poor girl can't see a thing."
"That's true." Treble said.
Sara plugged in her PET, and the hologram of Valiya disappeared as she was transferred into the battle machine.
"Well let's get this show on the road." Axl said.
"Very well." Sara said. "You go first, since you had to wait for me."
"Fine then, too bad for you." Axl said.
"Let's do it, Axl!" Treble cried.
"Axl Bullets!" Axl cried, firing his twin busters.
Valiya dodged the attacks quickly, and held out her hand. "Rainbow Laser!" she fired a shot from her hand.
Axl jumped down and dodged the laser, and fired a few more shots.
"Rainbow Sword!" Valiya cried, as she turned the laser into a rod and spun it around, destroying the shots.
"Not bad." Treble said.
Valiya then jumped and tried to slash Axl with her sword. Axl used his guns to block, but Valiya destroyed 1 of his guns.
"Now Axl!" Treble cried.
"Copy Shot!" Axl fired a shot at Valiya, and took her form.
"Hmm, I thought you would use that." Sara said, as she secretly threw a chip into her PET.
"Now use her attack against her!" Treble cried.
"Rainbow Laser!" Axl fired the laser at Valiya.
"You think I can't defend against my own attack?" Valiya asked, using the rod to protect herself.
"Rainbow Sword!" Axl came after Valiya with a rod of his own.
"Rainbow Barrier!" Valiya protected herself with a bright barrier.
Axl whacked at the barrier until it broke, but doing this left him open, Valiya first shot a laser into him, then stabbed him with the rod.
"Now we've got him!" Valiya cried, firing another laser.
"Not so fast!" Treble cried. "Anti-Damage, Battle Chip in!"
A doll replaced Axl and 3 shurikens came flying down and hit Valiya!
"Hold on a little longer...." Sara muttered to herself.
"Try this one, Crack Shot, Battle Chip in!" Treble threw another chip into his PET.
3 panels from the ground rose up and hit Valiya hard! Valiya was knocked over.
"Valiya, are you okay?" Sara cried.
"No, that's why I'm in pain." Valiya snapped.
Axl looked like he could barely stand too.
"Use that Rainbow Heal!" Treble cried.
But Axl's Copy Shot faded, and he returned to normal.
"Drat, we'll just have to use the chip." Treble groaned, throwing a chip into his PET. "Recover 300, Battle Chip in!"
Suddenly, a bolt of electricity came down and zapped Axl hard!
"What the?!?" Treble cried.
"Anti-Recover!" Valiya cried. "Nice call, Sara!"
Sara smiled. "You're welcome."
Axl was in bad shape now, but he still tried to stand.
"My, my, he has a good fighting spirit." Sara said.
"We're not losing this one!" Treble cried. "Muramasa, Battle Chip in!"
"How'd you get that?!?" Valiya cried.
"Oh Axl used his Copy Shot on Roll's sword and got that data so that I could get the chip data on it!" Treble explained.
The sword appeared on Axl's arm and was surrounded with purple flames.
"Valiya, look out!" Sara cried.
"Rainbow Barrier!" Valiya threw up a barrier again.
"That won't work this time!" Treble cried. "Step Cross, Battle Chip in!"
Axl jumped right into the barrier and slashed it. The barrier broke, and Axl quickly slashed Valiya multiple times with the Muramasa.
THUMP! Valiya fell over and was taken by the black hole.
"Valiya?" Sara asked, then the trap door took her.
Axl fell over in a heap.
"Nice job, Axl....." Treble said, smiling.

Next Higsby & Masa faced each other, each one giving the other a death glare.
"I won't lose this one!" Masa declared.
"Me neither!" Higsby cried.
"Oh boy." Numberman groaned.
"Will those 2 ever give up?" Sharkman asked.
"Not in this lifetime." Numberman said.
"Go Number, Numerball, Battle Chip in!" Higsby threw a chip into his PET.
A ball with a number on it appeared, Numberman threw it at Sharkman. Sharkman's fin lit up and fired a shot at the ball, the ball exploded.
"That's all you've got?" Masa asked.
"Oh you!!!" Higsby growled.
Numberman now threw his dice, which landed on 3. An explosion came from the dice, but Sharkman just leapt into the air, avoiding it.
"This is boring." Sharkman said.
"Let's show him how it's done." Masa said.
Sharkman dove into the floor and only his fin was showing.
"Can he swim even if there's no water?" Numberman asked.
Then Sharkman came rushing up and slammed into Numberman, he then jumped out and started punching and kicking Numberman.
"Numberman!!!" Higsby cried.
"I thought you had a ton of Rare Battle Chips?" Masa asked.
"Are you kidding?" Higsby asked. "Those chips are for collecting, not using!"
"Okay, your loss." Masa remarked. "Though I can't see why you couldn't just use 'em once....."
"That does it, you asked for it!" Higsby growled, throwing a chip into his PET. "Hawk Cut, Battle Chip in!"
A sword appeared on Numberman's hand and he sliced through Sharkman, Sharkman dove back into the floor to hide.
"Now that's more like it." Masa said.
Sharkman sprang back up for another attack.
"Life Aura, Battle Chip in!" Higsby threw another chip into his PET.
An aura appeared and protected Numberman.
"That's no big deal." Masa said. "North Wind, Battle Chip in."
A strong wind stirred up and Numberman's aura was gone.
"Any more ideas, Higsby?" Numberman asked.
"Try this, Super Vulcan, Battle Chip in!" Higsby threw another chip into his PET. "And Cross Shield, Battle Chip in!"
Numberman started firing the Vulcan rapidly, Sharkman easily ran past and aimed a powerful punch at Numberman. But the Cross Shield appeared and took a chop out of Sharkman's arm!
"Didn't expect that." Masa said.
"Now to finish this!" Higsby cried, throwing in another chip. "Zeus Hammer!!!!"
A huge hammer appeared in Numberman's hands, he slammed it down on Sharkman's head, knocking him over.
"YES!!!" Higsby cried. "We did it!"
But then Numberman fell over too! Both Navis were taken by the black hole.
"What the hell?!?!?" Higsby cried. "What happened?!?!?!"
"You idiot." Masa remarked. "How could out of all people you forget that the Zeus Hammer hurts your Navi as well?"
"I got so excited I forgot...." Higsby said, then the trap door took both of them.

Xel was watching in the background and fell over laughing. "These people are SO STUPID!!!! They crack me up!!!"
"Sir, I hate to interrupt, but the hook up was a success." Rezo said.
"Good, so that Navis are on their way?" Xel asked.
Rezo nodded. "Yes... Um, shouldn't you be bringing the others?"
Xel sighed. "Yes, I guess so. My, my, time flies when you're having fun...."
"Well you know how impatient he is...." Rezo pointed out.
"I know, I know." Xel said. "Tell him I'll be sending them soon."
Then Xel teleported out of the area.


Chapter Twenty-Eight: Galaxy Mysterious Double Battle!
Justin Green had been standing in the stadium for a little while. "So where is this Edward guy?" he asked.
"Hey, something's coming." Santos, Justin's Navi said.
Necronus appeared in front of Santos. "Sorry to make you wait...."
"Oh, I thought Edward was a human...." Justin said.
"He's the Navi, you moron...." Santos said under his breath.
"My master will not be attending this tournament but you will find me more then a match for you...." Necronus said.
"That's strange, why is that? He shy or something?" Santos asked.
"Who cares? Let's just start the fight." Justin said.
Necronus staff started to glow light-green.
"What's he going to do?" Justin asked. "Give us a light show?"
"Now this is more like it! Grenade Shooter!" Santos's hand turned into a gun and started firing grenades.
Necronus blocked the grenades without taking a scratch with his shield.
"DATA NECROMANCY!" Necronus yelled while he thrusted his sword-staff end into the ground and zombie-like Navis and viruses started appearing.
"Not good. Cursor Shot!" Santos cried, he fired his gun in multiple directions.
Some of the 'Zombies' were deleted and Necronus started walking forward with his Sword-Staff glowing dark-green.
"Did that thing change color?" Justin asked.
"Now that's strange...." Santos said, while still firing at the remaining viruses.
"Necro Blast!" Necronus pointed his Sword-Staff at Santos and the energy flew at him still in a sword shape.
"What the?!?" Justin cried.
"This isn't fair! How can I fight this?" Santos asked.
Santos fired at the energy but it was no use, he was hit hard and knocked to the ground.
"Give up now or be deleted." Necronus warned.
"Never!" Santos cried. "Mine Bomb!"
Santos fired his gun into the air. A mine shot out and disappeared into the area.
"What parlor trick is this?" Necronus asked.
"You'll see." Justin said. "Area Grab, Battle Chip in!"
Santos was teleported away from Necronus. Necronus huffed and took a step forward.
KA-BOOM! The mine went off, Necronus was covered in smoke.
"Let's do it, Santos!" Justin cried.
Santos nodded, he held his buster out as it charged up energy.
The smoke was beginning to clear, but Necronus couldn't be seen.
"I can't get a lock-on yet." Santos said.
"Wait for it...." Justin said.
Then the smoke cleared, Necronus was gone!
"Where'd he go?" Santos asked.
Necronus appeared behind Santos and jabbed his Sword-Staff into Santos's chest.
"Santos!" Justin cried.
"I warned you...." Necronus said.
"Tracker Buster!" Santos cried.
A powerful burst of energy shot out from Santos's buster, it hit Necronus in the head, although he didn't appear hurt.
"How did you attack me from your position?" Necronus asked. "No matter, no matter. Farewell."
Necronus held his Sword-Staff near Santos's head and fired. Santos collapsed to the ground, nearly deleted. The black hole swallowed him up.
"What kind of Navi is that?" Justin asked, but the trap door took him.

Jake, Williams & Alex all arrived at the arena.
"What the hell?" Jake asked. "I thought this was 1-on-1?"
"Someone changed the rules?" Alex asked. "No matter, I'll just have to beat both of you."
"So we're in a 3-way match?" Williams asked. "I'm confused."
"Hey guys!" Yuna said from inside the battle machine.
"Make that 4." Jake said. "Well let's get it over with."
Burstgirl, Featherman, Foxxan & Angelman appeared in the battle machine.
"Hey Foxxan, long time no see!" Yuna cried.
"Wait, you're Foxxan's Operator?" Jake asked.
Williams nodded. "The name's Roxy, Roxy Williams."
"Funny, that's the same name as Foxxan's sister...." Alex said.
Roxy appeared next to Foxxan. "You call me?"
"Oh this is gonna be fun!" Angelman grinned.
"No hard feelings, but we want to win." Featherman said.
Featherman & Burstgirl fused together into Skydive.
"Let's do it sis." Roxy said.
"I can't fight everyone...." Yuna said.
Elnar groaned. "Yuna...."
"Fine then. DARK BLADES OF THE CATACLYSM!!" Angelman cried.
The twin blades of darkness emerged from Angelman's forearms.
Skydive didn't waste time, he crashed into Angelman, who stood tall and slashed Skydive after the crash.
"Firecracker Bomb!" Foxxan cried, firing her cannon.
A series of sparks shot out.
Angelman slashed the sparks out of the air. "I'm not going down. DIE!!"
Angelman lunged at Foxxan, his Dark Blades of the Cataclysm blazing.
Roxy blocked with a kick, protecting her sister.
"Dragon Cannon!" Skydive cried, firing at Angelman.
"SWORD OF NIGHTMARES!!" A powerful sword appeared in Angelman's hands. He began to swiftly attack Skydive.
"Elnar Beam!" Elnar shot a laser beam from her eyes, and aimed them at Foxxan's cannon.
Foxxan's cannon exploded, Roxy kicked Elnar to the side.
"You're dead now." Roxy said.
"Sword of Light!" Yuna cried.
Elnar light up and changed into the Sword of Light. Yuna slashed at Roxy.
"No one hurts my friend." Yuna said.
Skydive flew up. "Skydive Scorcher!" Skydive lit on fire and was charging towards Angelman.
Foxxan & Roxy were ready to strike Yuna.
"Perhaps this is the only way...." Angelman thought.
Angelman leapt forward towards Skydive, then flipped over and fired a blast at Skydive. Skydive ignored the shot, but he was still going!
"Yuna, look out!" Angelman flew over and snatched Yuna, and took her out of the way.
CRASH! Skydive slammed into Foxxan & Roxy!
"Yuna, let's take them down together!" Angelman cried.
"You mean a team effort?" Yuna asked. "How so?"
"Use your Matrix Blaster!" Angelman cried.
"Okay..... But I don't like to use it..." Yuna said. "It really hurts people...."
Angelman sighed. "If you don't THEY'LL hurt us!"
"Good point." Elnar said.
Roxy, Foxxan, & Skydive slowly stood up.
"Oh you're gonna pay for that!!!!" Roxy growled.
Yuna's chest plate opened. "MATRIX BLASTER!" she fired a huge amount of energy.
Angelman absorbed the energy into his sword, he charged in and slashed all 3 Navis, crushing them down the black hole.
"Nice job, Yuna." Angelman bowed.
"We did it!" Yuna jumped up and down, then passed out.
"Oh no, is she okay?" Angelman asked.
"She's fine." Elnar said. "It's just the Matrix Blaster uses all her energy."
Angelman sighed. "At least she's okay."
Jake & Williams fell down the trap door.
"Good job, guys." Alex said.

At the cage, Skydive split into Burstgirl & Featherman, then fell onto ImPal & Spearman. Santos, Roxy, Foxxan, Numberman, Sharkman, & Itsuki fell into 1 big pile. Vaylia fell onto Paladinman.
"What the heck?" Spider said.
"Oh man, it's cowarded enough in here as it is!" Daven groaned.
"LET US OUTTA HERE!!!!!" Haloman yelled.
"I see my message didn't do much good." Paladinman said.
Valiya smacked Paladinman in the head. "Well if it wasn't so cryptic!!!"
"It wasn't that bad...." Paladinman said.
"Great, we're never getting outta here." Ice Cream Man said.
Then the cage opened.
"What the?" Valiya asked.
"How'd it open?" Salabi asked.
"Who cares?" Elecman asked.
"Yeah, let's get out of here!" Katzy said.
The group ran out to the dock. They were in a Dimensional Area, in the real world.
"How did we get to the human world?" Roxy asked.
"It's a DA." Protoman explained. "But why are we in the middle of the ocean?"

Jake, Williams, Justin, Higsby, Masa, & Ibuki landed in a pile. Sara landed on Dennis.
"Hi Sara." Dennis said.
"Dennis, is that you?" Sara asked.
"What, she can't tell?" Steve asked.
"She's blind, you idiot!" Mayl snapped.
Suddenly, the rumble happened again.
"There it is again!" Chaud cried.
Suddenly, the group was teleported out of the area!!!!!

Everyone appeared on the dock of the ship, next to their Navis.
"ImPal!" Brandon cried.
"Roll!" Mayl cried. "What happened to her?"
"It appears to me someone tried to remove her Rank #1." Paladinman said.
"So what are we all doing on a ship?" Blaze asked.
"Welcome to the Reaper's Revenge...." a voice loomed. "Where you'll become my slaves for the rest of your lives!!!!"


Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Reaper's Revenge!
"The what?" Sal asked.
"Where'd that voice come from?" Koji asked.
"What is this place... Again!" Sara groaned.
"Don't ask me......" Paladinman said.
"Well at least we're all together again?" Taylor asked.
"Like that's a good thing?" Yai asked.
"Paladin, status report!" Dennis said.
"It's seems to Xel and Rezo, is behind the disappearances. Now we have been transferred to someplace else, and Roll is purple sick and the number one tag is gone." Paladinman said.
"But if her rank is gone, she could die!!!" Mayl cried.
"That's the problem, we don't know where it is. Dennis, insert a Recover Chip, we have to heal Roll as good as possible." Paladinman said.
"We don't have the PET..." Dennis said.
"My home?!?!" Paladinman cried.
"I'll make a new one, just go heal Roll as much as you can will you." Dennis said.
"Please! You must do something!" Mayl pleaded.
Paladinman kneeled down next to Roll. "Sigh... I hope none of them sees this. Recover300!"
Parts of Paladinman's shoulder parts began to dismantle, and a soft light shone at Roll, restoring HP.
"ARGH!" Paladinman groaned.
"It isn't perfect yet..." Dennis said.
"Her data is stabilizing, but she's still in bad shape...." Toyia said.
"But that helped...." Teal said.
Paladinman held both his shoulders, he looked like he was in pain.
"Sorry, about this Paladin." Dennis said.
"Th-that's alright. Defend and support is my objective." Paladinman said.
THUMP...... THUMP....... The sound of a peg-leg could be heard from afar.
"What's that sound?" Brandon asked.
"I don't know, but this place is creepy...." Mayl said.
A man in an arterial red pirate outfit stepped up to the group, he cracked a smile. "My name is DJ Hellmaster, welcome aboard my ship, the Reaper's Revenge.... I believe you know my daughter... Black Heart...."
"Black Heart?!?!" the group repeated.
"So you're that witch's father?!?" Mayl asked.
"Grandpa?" Marina asked.
"How'd you get here?" DJ asked, pulling Marina to the side.
"Wait... She's your granddaughter?" Taylor asked.
"How could that be?" Koji asked. "I thought she was Curse's daughter...."
"This has got to be a bad dream...." Blaze said.
Anthony and Brandon punched each other.
"Dammit. This isn't a dream. We're all going to die...." Brandon said.
"Oh so you know the situation, hmm?" DJ asked.
"So far, we know that everyone has gone insane." Heather said.
Anthony was counting his fingers. "Xel and Black Heart and bro and sis, Black Heart and Curse are married, Spotty has a daughter, You're Black Hearts dad, we're standing next to our Navis and not using Pulse Transmission, and you're after Spotty's son Tre... Oops....."
"ANTHONY!!!" Lizzie whacked Anthony in the head.
"Thank you, now who's the daughter?" DJ asked.
"I would tell you if I knew." Anthony said.
"Well, I think I know who it is, but..." Brandon said, then he thought about what Anthony said. "Wait, who said anything about Curse & Black Heart being married?"
"Um, where did you think Marina came from?" Anthony asked. "It just makes sense, otherwise she would have killed him by now. And also how could DJ be her grandfather?"
"True." ImPal said.
"Actually I told him...." Mr. Blue Nose said.
"Paladin, be prepared....." Dennis said.
"Nice going, Anthony." Spearman said.
"So do any of you know who Black Spotty's daughter is?" DJ asked.
"Like I was saying, I think I know who it was, but I doubt there's anything you can do to make me tell you..." Brandon said.
"I'll let you off this ship alive...." DJ said.
"Well...." Brandon said.
Everyone glared at him.
"I'm not that stupid." Brandon said.
"You'll be stupid to protect that moron Spotty." DJ said. "Devil Master!"
A Navi with a face like an octopus, a black hat, ripped overcoat, left hand was a claw, right arm had a tentacle, and the right leg was a peg-leg.
"You called master?" Devil Master asked.
"Devil Master, take these new slaves and put them to work!" DJ said.
"Wait a second, we out-number these morons!" Koji cried. "Let's take them on!"
"You think you can battle us?" DJ asked, slamming a staff to the ground.
A shockwave covered the area, all the Navis were surrounded with a light.
"I can't move!" Meddy cried.
"I've disabled your Navi's movement..." DJ explained. "If they try anything, they'll be deleted. Same goes for you."
A series of fish-like Navis surrounded the group, pointing swords at them.
"Where'd they come from?" Chaud asked.
"So don't try anything...." Devil Master said.
The group was taken down below into the quarters of the ship.
"Now get to work on the ship." Devil Master said. "Bootstrap will tell you what to do."
Devil Master closed the door to the deck, all the Operators and their Navis were together.
"Man this is some rattling...." Keith said.
"It's been a while since I've had visitors..." a voice said. It was a man in a black hat, gray shirt with a black jacket, and black pants.
"Who are you?" Morgan asked.
Mr. Blue Nose took one look at the man and his jaw dropped. "Bootstrap..... Zeta-Cannon!"
The man looked up. "Bluey?" he asked.
"It is you!" Teisel cried.
"You're alive?" Tron asked.
"No way!" Unick cried.
"Unick!" Bootstrap cried.
"You know him?" Snippy asked.
"We sure do, Snippy." Scarface said.
"Snippy?" Bootstrap looked up.
"Do you know me?" Snippy asked.
"Snippy, Bootstrap is your father...." Mr. Blue Nose explained.
"You've been here all those years?" Lizzie asked.
"So Spotty took you along after all?" Bootstrap asked.
"Well he wasn't going to leave the kid." Tron said.
"So he survived Black Heart's attack?" Bootstrap asked.
"He did, but not Lina...." Teisel said.
"Then Lina is...." Bootstrap said.
"She was turned into a Navi to save her life." Tron said. "As was Black Heart."
"So this is your son?" a Navi that looked like a shellfish looked at Snippy.
Bootstrap nodded. "Snippy, this is Bouillabaisse, a Navi I found in the ocean."
"We all thought you died." Unick said.
"At least Spotty gave you to Snippy." Bootstrap said.
"So who's this DJ guy anyway?" Nicole asked.
"He's the one that gave Spotty the Black Refractor, haven't you wondered how he got such a powerful ship?" Bootstrap asked.
"So he made a deal with him?" Amy asked.
"Yes, but after he made the deal, Curse wanted that ship and fought for it." Mr. Blue Nose said.
"This was before he married Black Heart." Scarface added.
"During this time, Spotty met Lina as Black Heart was chasing her." Tron said. "Black Heart met Curse and married him, DJ then gave him the Black Medallion."
"So then Curse still wanted the Black Refractor?" Brandon asked.
"Because it's a better ship." Unick said.
"But now because Black Heart's a Navi because she died when Lina and her faced off, DJ blames Spotty for the death of his daughter..." Bootstrap said. "And now he wants Spotty dead. You see, DJ travels the world enslaving people and deteled Navis. His Navi has to the power to revive deleted data."
"So he takes the souls of dead Navis?" Steve asked. "That's sick!"
"You see, he's the one that revived a bunch of the Navis from UnderNet." Bootstrap said.
"You mean he's the one that brought me back?" Spider asked.
"You were revived?" Siya asked.
Spider nodded. "Yeah, but I didn't know by who."
"Then everyone else that died then...?" Marino asked.
"Could very well be back and are being used by DJ Hellmaster." Bootstrap said.
"Man, where's he get all this power?" Jake asked.
"Well he has his own magic powers, but you see, Black Heart & Xellious Noon are also the children....." Bootstrap said. "Of The Lord of Nightmares...."


Chapter Thirty: Curse the New Line Up!
The group returned to the main room to see who their next opponents may be.
"Where's the line up?" Elie asked.
"It's all full of question marks...." Ryan said.
"So how do we tell who we face next?" Leo asked.
"No idea." Spotty said. "It just says which stadiums to enter."
"Well that makes a lot of sense.... Not." Tamako said.
"Well there's mine, I'm against Curse." Daniel said. "Perfect."
"Finally! I'll get my revenge on Daniel!!!" Curse cried, he was standing behind them.
Daniel spun around. "Bring it, Curse."
The two entered their stadium, ready for battle.
"HA!! You think you can beat me this time?" Curse asked.
"No duh, Sherlock! D-Nightmare's stronger than you think." Daniel snapped.
"Talk is cheap, show me power!!!!" Curse said.
"Fine then. D-Nightmare! OBLITERATE HIS NAVI!!" Daniel hollered.
"With pleasure!" D-Nightmare cried.
"Let's kill him this time!" Curse said.
"You should have brought Black Heart then......" Medallion muttered.
"Just fight!" Curse growled.
"I'm dead." Medallion said, drawing his sword as he charged towards D-Nightmare.
D-Nightmare dodged Medallion's attack, then kicked the Navi with a beautiful jump kick.
"I KNEW THIS WAS A STUPID IDEA!!!" Medallion cried, as he went in for an uppercut slash.
D-Nightmare swung his sword, breaking Medallion's sword, then shot Medallion in the face.
Medallion fell down, but jumped back up and attacked D-Nightmare with a series of slashes.
D-Nightmare dodged the strikes, then attacked with a swing from his Muramasa.
Medallion blocked with a skull shield, then transformed into a tiger. He roared and charged at D-Nightmare, slashing him with his claws.
"GENESIS VULCAN!!" D-Nightmare cried, firing at Medallion. "HERO SWORD!!" he then slashed at him with a large sword.
"Bug Sword!" Medallion cried, blocking with a sword made of Bug Frags.
"Eat this! DOUBLE MURAMASA!!" D-Nightmare cried, both his arms had 1 Muramasa and he charged at Medallion.
"Sorry, but I like to use swords, not eat them. ANTI SWORD!" Medallion cried.
D-Nightmare was ready for this, he starting chanting a spell. "Black dragon who sleeps in the red flame; With your mighty roar, burn my enemies down!! GAAV FLARE!!" he aimed a burst of fire at Medallion.
"HOLY CRAP!!! YOU CAN USE MAGIC?!?" Medallion cried.
"That's right." D-Nightmare nodded. "Darkness beyond the blackest pitch, deeper then the night, Lord of Darkness, hear my plea, and destroy those who stand before me! DARKNESS GIGA SLAVE!!!"
The huge blast of dark energy was heading straight for Medallion!
"Oh the hell with this!!! I'm not getting deleted!" Medallion cried, jumping to the black hole.
"YOU CHICKEN!!!!" Curse hollered.
"Fool." Daniel said, as the trap door took Curse.

Andrew entered his stadium. "You up for this Soldierman?" he asked.
Soldierman nodded. "Very much so."
"Okay. I'm going to install a new program called SaboathCrystal." Andrew said. "It'll allow you to change to Saboathman without Cross-Fusing with me."
"Roger that." Soldierman said.
Yuna transported to the spot. "Wow, is this where my battle is?"
"It sure is." Elnar said.
"Ready when you are, Yuna." Soldierman said.
Yuna frowned. "Do we have to fight?" she asked.
"YES!!!" Elnar whacked Yuna in the head.
"S-Claymore, Laser Saber mode." Soldierman said. The S-Claymore became a powerful energy saber.
Elnar transformed into a sword handle that Yuna caught with one hand.
"Light come forth!" Yuna cried, as the blade appeared. She then charged in to slash Soldierman.
Soldierman fired a blast at Yuna, Yuna sliced it in half with her sword.
"Not bad, Yuna." Soldierman said, he dashed at Yuna, his S-Claymore blazing.
"Do I really have to keep fighting?" Yuna asked.
"YUNA!!! DAMMIT I'M SICK OF THIS!!!" Elnar growled, transforming back into a Navi. "I'll fight! Elnar Beam!" she fired a beam of light from her eyes.
Soldierman dodged the attack, then fired a burst of energy at Elnar.
"ACK!!!" Elnar cried, she was hit hard and crashed. "Yuna......"
Soldierman fired a burst of energy at Yuna, but Elnar flew in the way, the blast almost deleted her!
"ELNAR!!!!" Yuna cried, black sparks surrounded her.
Soldierman smiled. "Now we're talking." Soldierman's body began to glow with a fiery light.
Yuna's body armor transformed, black parts appeared on her armor, covering the parts that exposed her skin. New pieces stuck out, her eyes turned cold and dark.
"SABOATHCRYSTAL, ENGAGE!!" Soldierman cried.
Soldierman immediately changed to Saboathman.
"Bring it." Soldierman said.
Yuna didn't speak, instead she rushed into Soldierman at the speed of light, furiously kicking and punching.
Saboathman quickly dodged and blocked Yuna's attacks, then lashed out with his fist, catching Yuna in the solar plexus.
Yuna ignored the attack and punched at Saboathman furiously.
Saboathman was dodging and block Yuna's attacks with great speed.
"I can't let her win." Saboathman declared.
"Try this chip. Astral Blade, Custom Chip, Download." Andrew threw a chip into his PET.
Saboathman's sword grew to immense length and power. Saboathman attack Yuna furiously.
Yuna continued to say nothing, she still attacked at full rage, now she drew a sword and slashed furiously.
Saboathman used his Astral Blade to deflect Yuna's attacks.
"You left yourself wide open to this." Saboathman said. "TRIHEXYLON FIRESTORM!!"
Saboathman's cannons began firing rapidly at Yuna.
Yuna's jetpack opened on her back, which allowed her to fly around the blasts, she then charged in for a stab.
Saboathman dodged the attack, then opened up with his cannons again, this time nailing Yuna in the jetpack.
"Now, we finish this." Saboathman said.
Yuna nodded, still not speaking. Elnar flew up.
"Elnar.... You are okay?" Yuna finally spoke.
"Yeah, I healed myself. Ready to really battle?" Elnar asked.
Yuna nodded. "Matrix of Light Navis Unite!"
Martina, Erina, & Jina appeared.
"Elline Noi ONLINE!!!!" They formed together.
"It's about time you showed up, Elline." Saboathman brought his cannons up to full power. "I've been saving this for a special occasion."
"ELLINE ONLINE! ULTIMATE STRIKE!" Elline cried, firing the powers of the 5 Navis in a single shot.
Saboathman held up his Astral Blade and deflected Elline's attack. "Now things are really interesting." he said.
Saboathman's twin cannons came up and went to full charge immediately. "TRIHEXYLON CANNONS, FULL FIRE!!" The twin cannons began firing full-power charge shots at Elline.
"Holy Panel, activate!" Elline cried, the ground around Elline turned into Holy Panels. "Holy Elline Blaster!!!" Elline fired, which collided into Saboathman's attack, causing an explosion.
"Hang on, Saboathman." Andrew said, slotting in a chip. "Zeus Hammer, Mega Chip, Download."
Saboathman leapt above Elline's attack, and was ready to slam the Zeus Hammer into Elline's head, but Elline caught the hammer with a single hand, slowing it down before impact.
"Now you're going to get it." Yuna said from inside Elline.
"ELLINE BLASTER FINAL STRIKE!!!" Elline fired the huge beam right at Saboathman while he was holding the hammer.
"MOON BEAM BARRIER!!" Saboathman cried.
A powerful barrier deflected the attack.
"Try this on for size! Give 'em the big guns!" Andrew cried.
Saboathman nodded. "Right. POSITRON FIRESTORM!!" Saboathman fired a powerful burst of energy at Elline.
"SAVIOR LIGHT SHEILD!" Elline cried, a shield appeared and protected Elline.
Saboathman kept firing shot after shot, the shots growing more powerful as time went by.
"Time to charge the beam!" Elnar cried.
Elline's blaster filled with balls of light, and formed a massive blast of energy, which she aimed at Saboathman.
"Oh no you DON'T!!" Saboathman cried.
Saboathman slammed his sword into Elline's cannon, then released a powerful charge into it, sending paralyzing energy coursing through Elline's body.
"AAAIIIEEE!!!" Yuna cried.
"Hold together!" Elnar cried.
"LIGHT COME FORTH!" The Sword of Light appeared in Elline's hands, filling the huge Navi with pure light energy, as she slashed Saboathman.
Saboathman dodged the slash, then fired a shot that knocked the Sword of Light out of Elline's hands.
"Now to finish this!" Saboathman cried. Saboathman's cannons began blazing with power.
"THIS IS IT!" Saboathman's cannons unleashed a powerful shot that slammed into Elline.
Elline took the damage and still stood, then grabbed the Sword of Light.
"ELLINE BLAST SWORD CHARGE!" Elline placed the Sword of Light into her blaster, firing it with a huge charge of energy and shot it out.
"SABOATH FIRESTORM!!" Saboathman was hit, but attack Elline with powerful explosions.
"I don't know how much longer we can take!" Martina cried.
"Let's give it all we've got!" Jina cried.
"We're down in power bad." Erina said.
"We need Yuri!" Yuna cried.
"This ends now!!" Saboathman leapt back, then carefully slashed Elline across her Navi Emblem, causing her to break apart. "Checkmate." he said.
"NOT YET!" Jina cried.
"WE STILL CAN FIGHT!" Martina cried.
"SO BRING IT ON, BIG BOY!" Erina growled.
"Yuna, you okay?" Elnar asked.
Yuna was passed out on the floor. "I don't wanna get up, mommy...."
"Trihexylon Firestorm." Saboathman quickly blasted Martina, Jina, and Erina with his twin cannons.
"Multi Shot Spinner!" Jina cried.
"Soaring Dive!" Erina cried.
"Swirling Aqua Cyclone!" Martina cried.
"YURI!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Elnar called out.

Meanwhile, Curse & Medallion had just arrived at the Reaper's Revenge.
"Where am I?" Curse asked.
"So you showed up too?" Black Widow asked.
"Wait if you're here, where's Black Heart?" Medallion asked.
"Ah, you're here." Devil Master said.
"WHAT THE?!?" Curse cried. "Great, what is Black Heart's father up to?"
"You'll find out soon." Devil Master said.
"I see you got you're butt kicked." Brandon said.
"Just ignore them." Devil Master said.
Yuri suddenly looked worried. "I feel like Yuna needs me...."
"What for?" Mayl asked.
"Maybe she's in trouble in a battle?" Koji asked.
"YUNA!! I'm coming!" Suddenly, Yuri teleported!
"WHAT THE?!?" Devil Master cried. "How'd she do that?!?"

Yuri appeared in the battle computer. "Whoa, what a rush..."
"Yuri! You're okay!!" Elnar cried.
"How'd I get here?" Yuri asked.
"I used the last of my power to bring you, you must aid us to destroy him!" Elnar explained.
"I'll do my best!" Yuri cried. "Where's Yuna?"
"I don't wanna go to school..." Yuna moaned.
"WAKE UP YUNA!!!!" Elnar screamed.
Yuna jumped up. "ACK!! Am I late?"
Saboathman changed back to Soldierman. "I can't fight anymore as Saboathman. However, I can still do this!! BEAST OUT!!"
Soldierman changed to the Saboath Beast Out and went berserk. He fired his cannons at Yuri, Yuna, Elnar, Martina, Jina, and Erina.
"Let's bring our powers together guys!" Elnar cried.
Yuna nodded.
"Let's go guys!" Yuri cried.
The 5 Navis joined together into Elline once again, but this time Elline was moving very slow.
"We only have 1 shot." Elnar said.
The powers of the 5 Navis joined together in the Elline Blaster.
"MATRIX OF LIGHT BLAST!!!!" Elline fired the powerful shot from the blaster.
Soldierman fell to the ground, barely moving. "Good... Match... Yuna..."
Soldierman and Andrew were swallowed up by the black hole and trap door.
Elline broke apart. "We... Did.... It....."

Back on Reaper's Revenge, Soldierman landed on ImPal and Andrew landed on Brandon.
"Knock it off!" ImPal growled.
"Sorry about that." Soldierman said.
ImPal smacked Soldierman in the face. "What is it with you guys landing on me?!?"
"You make a soft pillow?" Spearman remarked.
ImPal whacked Spider in the face.
"What was that for?!?" Spider growled.
"I needed to hit something." ImPal answered.
"So someone beat you at last?" Brandon asked, kicking Andrew off of him.
"You could say that." Andrew said. "I see a lot of you guys are down here."
"Yeah, and you have a lot of catching up to do...." Mr. Blue Nose said. "Where should we begin?"


Chapter Thirty-One: Triple attack power!
Lan stepped into the stadium, not knowing what was waiting for him.
"Ready Lan?" Megaman asked.
"No, not really." Lan groaned. "I don't like not knowing who I'm facing."
"Don't worry, we'll handle it." Megaman said.
Lan stepped up to the battle machine. He noticed there were 3 ports on each side.
"Why are there so many ports?" Lan asked.
"That's because it's a 3 on 3 battle." Tamako stepped up and explained.
"Tamako!" Lan cried. "Wait, you're my opponent?"
Tamako nodded. "Me and 2 others."
"Hey Lan!" Charlie cried.
"And me." Dusk appeared out of nowhere.
"Great...." Lan groaned. "So who are my teammates?"
A boy that had a red T-shirt, blue jeans, white tennis shoes and a jacket tied up to his waist ran up to Lan. "Sorry I'm late."
"Who are you?" Lan asked.
"My name's JD." the boy said, catching his breath, then plugging in his PET. "I believe you know my Navi."
A Navi with long black hair and a gemstone in his helmet appeared.
"Gallantman!" Megaman cried.
"So you're Gallantman's Operator?" Lan asked.
"And you're Megaman's." JD smiled. "Nice to finally meet you."
"But who's our 3rd?" Megaman asked.
Suddenly, a Navi transferred in. The Navi was red with long blonde hair.
"Zero!" Megaman cried.
"It's a good time I got here in time." Zero said.
"So you entered to?" Lan asked.
"Just about everyone did." Zero explained. "Lord S let us all enter."
"Wait.... Then Serenade's alone?" Megaman asked.
"Don't worry, Kage is with her." Zero said.
"Yeah....." Gallantman groaned.
"What's wrong?" Megaman asked.
"Don't ask." Gallantman said, rolling his eyes.
"So let's begin this." Tamako said, jacking in Metalman.
"I'm ready." Charlie said, jacking in Gyroman.
"......" Dusk didn't say anything as he jacked in Shadowman.
"Let's do it Megaman, Tri Arrow, Battle Chip in!" Lan threw a chip into his PET.
"Not so fast!" Tamako cried. "Area Steal, Battle Chip in!"
Metalman appeared in front of Megaman as he punched Megaman really hard. Megaman was thrown back, Zero caught him.
"This is going to be tough." Megaman said.
"Gallant Blade!" Gallantman cried, drawing his blade.
"Muramasa." Shadowman said.
"Gyro Blast!" Gyroman shot out spinning coppers at Gallantman.
Gallantman slashed each one.
Zero drew his Z-Saber and clashed swords with Shadowman.
"Metal Blade!" Metalman shot out huge gears at Megaman.
"Giga's Fist, Battle Chip in!" Lan threw another chip into his PET.
Megaman's hand grew large and he smashed the gears.
"Z-Saber Blast!" Zero slashed his sword, sending a blast at Shadowman.
Shadowman disappeared and he threw stars at Zero. Zero jumped away and avoided them.
Then Shadowman appeared, but there were multiple Shadowman surrounding Zero!
"You coward!" Zero growled. "You use a parlor trick?"
"If it works......" Shadowman said.
"I'll show you." Zero spun around, he slashed each one of the Shadowmen until he hit the real Shadowman.
"Amazing...." Shadowman said. "How'd you find me so fast?"
"I'm a master of the sword." Zero answered. "And Rank #5."
"Gallant Buster!" Gallantman fired at Gyroman.
"Transform!" Gyroman changed into a helicopter, he flew over Gallantman, dropping bombs at him.
"Barrier, Battle Chip in!" JD threw a chip into his PET.
The barrier protected Gallantman.
"Hi Jump, Battle Chip in!" JD threw in another chip.
Gallantman sprang up into the air and stabbed his Gallant Blade into Gyroman. Gyroman was forced back into his normal form and he crashed to the ground.
"You're good." Charlie growled.
Metalman charged right into Gallantman, knocking him off Gyroman.
"MegaBuster!" Megaman fired at Gyroman & Metalman.
"Gallant Buster!" Gallantman fired with Megaman.
Zero flipped over to Megaman & Gallantman. "We need a new plan."
"You have one?" Gallantman asked.
"One." Zero said, turning to Megaman. "Take my power with you, Megaman." his Navi Symbol glowed.
Megaman knew what he meant. "Right."
A beam of light shot from Zero and entered Megaman's Navi Symbol. Megaman suddenly changed shape and looked more like Zero now!
"Whoa...." Lan said. "Soul Union: Zero Soul!"
Megaman now had the Z-Saber and nodded to Zero. He and Zero slashed through Metalman & Gyroman. Gallantman drew his Gallant Blade and slashed Shadowman.
"You'll pay for that!" Shadowman growled, he threw more stars at them.
"Gallant Buster!" Gallantman fired and destroyed the stars.
"Your time is up!" Zero cried, slashing through Shadowman.
Megaman joined in and slashed Shadowman too, Shadowman was defeated and fell down the black hole.
Dusk fell down the trap door.
"Holy...." Charlie said.
"I don't want that to happen to me!" Tamako cried. "Get 'em, Metalman!"
Metalman nodded, he charged in with a powerful punch. CRACK! He broke Megaman's Z-Saber!
"Not good." Lan said.
"Hero Sword, Battle Chip in!" JD threw a chip into his PET.
Gallantman's left arm transformed into a sword, he jumped out and slashed Gyroman.
Gyroman blocked with a blade, and flew into the air.
"Okay, let's try Var Sword, Battle Chip in!" Lan threw a chip into his PET.
Megaman's arm turned into a yellow and purple sword. "Gallantman, give me a boost!"
Gallantman nodded, he held his hands out, Megaman jumped onto his hands, and Gallantman threw him into the air.
"Got ya!" Megaman cried, slashing Gyroman.
"ACK!" Gyroman crashed to the ground ontop of Metalman.
"Let's finish this!" Zero cried.
Megaman & Gallantman nodded.
"Z-Saber!" Zero cried.
"Gallant Blade!" Gallantman cried.
"Cyber Sword, Wide Sword, Long Sword!" Lan threw 3 chips into his PET.
"Life Sword!" Megaman cried, throwing the huge sword in with his friend's attack.
SLASH! SLICE! BANG! BOOM!!!!
Metalman & Gyroman were pulled in by the black hole. Charlie & Tamako fell through the trap doors.
"We did it!" Lan cried.
"Way to go!" JD cried.
"Hey, we made a great team!" Megaman cried.


Chapter Thirty-Two: 4-Way Family Battle
Jane, Treble, Spotty & Elie entered the stadium.
"Wow, we're all in 1 battle?" Treble asked.
"Guess so." Spotty said.
Elie's eye narrowed. "I don't like the looks of this." she then spun around and saw Black Heart standing behind them.
"Long time no see, Inverse...." Black Heart chuckled.
"I knew you'd show your ugly mug sooner or later...." Elie said with a smirk. "It's good to meet you again..." she then added sarcastically.
"Yes, I've been dying for a re-match." Black Heart said.
"Bring it on, witch." Elie said. "I'll destroy you this time... DEFINITIVELY." she hissed.
"We'll handle it in the Net." Black Heart said, leaving her CopyBot body.
Elie nodded and transferred to the Net. She then noticed 3 Navis standing by Black Heart.
"Devilian.... Tuttle...." Elie recognized 2 of the Navis. "Who the hell are you?" she asked the 3rd.
"I am the Fraulein of Darkness..." the female Navi said. She wore a golden helmet with a black visor that covered her eyes, hair flowed out the back all the way to the ground. Her black outfit was in the shape of a cocoon that covered her body. Black orbs were on the back of her hands. "My name is Fraulein D, hated enemy of the Matrix of Light."
"Yuna...." Elie said. "So you're the one....."
Bugger, Aqua, & Axl soon arrived. Beat flew above them.
"So how did you 2 survive?" Aqua asked. "You were both deleted!"
"So you thought...." Tuttle said.
"Dammit, I wanted to get revenge on Paladinman!" Devilian growled.
"Well you'll just have to deal with us!" Axl cried.
"Easy for you to say." Black Heart said. "I'll destroy each and every one of you."
"Not if I can help it." Elie said.
"Oh we'll see about that...." Black Heart said. "As soon as I find out where your little one is hiding."
"What the hell are you babbling about now?" Elie asked.
"Your daughter, Inverse." Black Heart said. "I want both your children..."
"Children?" Elie arched an eyebrow. "Okay, you've lost it. All I have is Treble idiot." she looked at Bugger with the corner of her eye.
"Did your stupid idiotic moron husband mess up when he transferred your memory?" Black Heart asked.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, and don't call Spotty a moron even if he is one." Elie growled.
"Is that in my defense or a remark about me?" Spotty asked.
"Valis Rod." Elie said quietly, forming a black ball in her right hand and turning it into a long whip. "Come on, witch, I'm waiting for you..."
"So you don't wonder about that Spotty's hiding something?" Black Heart asked with a chuckle. "Elmekia Flame!!"
"I don't really care, for now." Elie said, waving the Valis Rod in front of her. "What matters now to me is deleting your existence from this world, then I'll think about it."
Black Heart laughed. "Oh really? Good luck trying." she chuckled. "Diem Wing!!"
"You laugh just like an annoying goose." Elie said rolling her eyes. "Bomb di Wind." she added, sending a powerful gust of wind which crashed into the Diem Wing.
"Very well....." Black Heart said, casting a new spell. "Black charge of darkness that is blacker than thy night, purge me with your darkness so that I can become one with your power, infuse me with the power to destroy all those who oppose me! DARK CHARGE BLAST OF DESTRUCTION!!!"
This spell was unlike anything Elie had ever seen. It shot out a huge charge of darkness that was sparking in the air, the blast was so huge, it could almost cover the entire area! But what was worse was that Black Heart aimed the attack at Aqua & Axl!
"Oh no!" Elie cried. "Ray Wing!" she flew up and into the blast, but didn't have enough time to protect herself.
"Elie!" Spotty cried.
Elie tumbled out of the blast, a little hurt but not badly. She quickly casted a healing spell and stood up.
"You'll pay for that, witch!!" Elie growled. "Okay then... I'll show you one of my new toys." she pulled out a small crucifix, which looked like a small sword.

"Blessed power coming from Etherion and the second Master, show the fool who's trying to stand in my way the true power of light. TEN COMMANDMENTS."

The small crucifix glowed in a blinding light, and turned into a huge sword, with a musical note on the silver blade. "Now try to attack me again if you have the courage..." Elie said, grinning and holding the mysterious sword in her hands.
"If you wish, Inverse." Black Heart said with a smile. "Let's finish this once and for all!"
Black Heart's amulet glowed. "Dark Lord that powers this world, bring thee to myself and take this shell to use as thy own. Impower me with the great power you posses! Bring me the strength to destroy my foe! LORD OF NIGHTMARES POWER BEAM!"
Black Heart placed her hands together, pours of black energy filled her hands and formed a large beam, she fired it straight at Elie.
"I have to agree this time, let's finish this." Elie said quietly, waiting for Black Heart. When her attack was closer, Elie collided her sword with Black Heart's attack, and a big explosion pushed Black Heart away like as if a shockwave did hit her fully. Elie's sword blade had turned into a golden color, with some red symbols on it, and was smaller than its first form.
Black Heart laid still for a few moments, appearing defeated.
"Watch out, it could be a trap." Spotty pointed out.
"I know." Elie grinned, holding the new form of her sword steady.
While Elie was busy with Black Heart, Bugger decided to take Tuttle on.
"I'll finally get my revenge!" Tuttle cried, he came charging in with a sword.
"God this guy's a moron...." Bugger groaned. "Escape."
Tuttle stabbed Bugger, but then Bugger turned into a doll.
"What the?" Tuttle asked.
Bugger appeared behind Tuttle and slashed him several times. Tuttle collapsed and fell down the trap door.
"Sword of Darkness." Fraulein D said, forming a sword in her hand. "I absorb hate and darkness all around me.... And I sense quite a bit in this room."
She appeared to drain some off of both Elie & Black Heart.
"We'll see about that." Aqua said. "Aqua Hurricane!"
A massive wave of water crashed down on Fraulein D. Fraulein D seemed unaffected.
"Aqua Buster!" Aqua fired at Fraulein D.
Fraulein D came in slashing, ignoring Aqua's buster. Aqua was hit hard, and she was smashed into Axl who was fighting Devilian.
"Darkness Giga Shock!" Fraulein D hurled a massive shockwave of darkness at both Aqua & Axl.
"Kyahaha!" Devilian laughed. "Nice one. Flaming Underground!"
A thick wave of fire was sent towards Aqua & Axl.
"Aqua Spiral!" Aqua cried, she hurled the attack just in time to protect them, as the water attack canceled the fire.
"Dark Whip!" Devilian cried, attacking them with a whip.
"Darkness....." Fraulein D was ready to attack again, but Beat slammed into her, knocking her off-balance, and she ended up hurling her attack at Devilian!
"HEY! Don't attack me!" Devilian growled. "Flame wing!"
"How dare you?!?" Fraulein D growled, stabbing Devilian with her Sword of Darkness.
"Flaming Underground, Volcanic!" Devilian cried.
A massive crate appeared in the middle of the area, bursting flames out of it.
"It'll be your grave!" Fraulein D said, trying to throw Devilian in the crate.
"Now." Bugger said, coming up to Axl & Aqua.
"Aqua Hurricane!" Aqua cried.
"Axl Bullets!" Axl fired.
The 2 attacks knocked Fraulein D & Devilian in, the 2 Navis were defeated and fell down the trap door.
"Great job, kids." Spotty said.
Black Heart still laid still, not moving.
Elie flew back a little, expecting a trap. She stared at Black Heart, still holding her sword tightly. "Another bit, and if she doesn't move I'll gladly turn her body into ashes..." she thought.
Black Heart suddenly jumped up. "Darkness beyond the blackest pitch, deeper then the night, Lord of Darkness, hear my plea, and destroy those who stand before me! DARKNESS GIGA SLAVE!!!"
An attack that was similar to the Giga Slave came at Elie, but Elie easily dispelled the attack with her new sword.
"That's the best you've got?" Elie asked. "Now you'll die witch!" she stabbed Black Heart with her sword.
Black Heart chuckled. She expected this. Her body disappeared.
"It's a decoy!" Spotty cried.
But it was too late, Black Heart appeared behind Elie, and tapped her shoulder. "Want to take a ride?" she said, teleporting Elie to a new location.
Elie didn't have the time to turn around, she suddenly felt as if she was sucked into another dimension. "What the...?!"
"ELIE!" Spotty cried.
Jane & Treble jacked their Navis out.
"I can't believe it...." Jane said. "What is going on?"
Suddenly, Black Heart appeared again, she grabbed Treble from behind. "At least I can get 1 kid...." she said.
"Treble!" Jane grabbed Treble's arm before Black Heart teleported out of the area.
"NO!!!!!!" Spotty cried, but it was too late, they were all gone!
"This is bad....." Bugger said. "If Black Heart figures it out....."
"We're all doomed....." Spotty said. "Elie.... Treble..... Jane........."


Chapter Thirty-Three: The Sibling is Revealed.
The new area Elie was in was dark, but there were a few windows nearby, which water could be seen, as well as fish. This large ship was under the water, like a submarine, but it was a pirate ship, or so it seemed.
Elie didn't look impressed by the new location. She instead was looking annoyed. She brought her Ten Commandments on her right shoulder and sighed deeply.
Elie looked and saw Jane, Treble, and their Navis were confused as well.
"How is it that Aqua, Axl, and I are here if this is the human world?" Elie wondered in her mind.
"You kids okay?" Elie asked.
Treble nodded. "Yeah, but where are we?" he asked.
THUMP THUMP........ The sound of a peg-leg could be heard from afar. Black Heart seemed to have disappeared from sight.
"Welcome aboard the Reaper's Revenge, Miss Inverse...." a voice loomed.
"Who are you? And where's that witch?" she asked, looking at where the voice came.
A man in an arterial red pirate outfit stepped up to Elie, he cracked a smile. "My name is DJ Hellmaster, welcome aboard my ship, the
Reaper's Revenge.... I believe you know my daughter..." he held his hand out, towards Black Heart who stood behind him.
"How nice... You're that witch's daddy." Elie said grinning, and holding her sword steady on her shoulder. "The pleasure is all yours, of course."
DJ smiled. "I hear you're a powerful sorceress, and I require your assistance....."
"Why should I help the father of that... Nice girl?" Elie asked sarcastically to DJ.
"Perhaps you wish to live and let your friends live as well?" DJ asked, he stepped around Elie. "Or perhaps I could offer you something in return? All I ask is can you summon the Lord of Nightmares?"
Elie frowned as soon as she heard the name of the great Lord of Nightmares. She lowered her TCM. "You want me to... Summon her?" she asked quietly. "Why?"
DJ tried to avoid answering that, he walked around Elie in a circle. "That's not your place to ask, all I want to know is can you do it?"
Xel appeared next to Black Heart, he looked at Elie. "Of course to summon our mother will take an massive amount of energy....."
"I think I can, but first you have to tell me why." Elie said quietly, before Xel appeared. She turned to him and blinked twice. "What? Your mum? Have I heard well?"
DJ's angry rose at the sight of Xellious. "XELLIOUS NOON! HOW DARE YOU EVEN SHOW YOUR FACE AROUND HERE?!?"
"Hello to you too, father." Xel snapped. "Yes Lina, or should I say Elie, the Lord of Nightmares is my mother, Black Heart's too. It was her cold heart that turned my father into what he is now. I guess he thinks summoning her he can get back at her."
"Who are you?" Elie muttered, a flash came into her mind and she put a hand on her forehead.
Xel's eyes looked shocked. "You don't..... Remember me?"
"Can't say that I do...." Elie said quietly, rubbing her left temple.
Beat chirped and landed on Elie's shoulder, another flash came through her mind. "...." Elie didn't say anything, she turned her head to Beat and stared at it, rubbing her temple like as if she was trying to remember something...
"Remember something now?" DJ asked.
Elie suddenly jumped and snapped out her thoughts, she turned to DJ and glared at him. "Now what?" she hissed, annoyed.
"Ah, so it's true you've forgotten me, Xellious, your daughter...." DJ said.
"So you knew me?" Elie asked, then another flash came through her mind.
"Look, I just want you to summon the Lord of Nightmares...." DJ said. "You don't seem to remember why, when I asked you years ago to do it......"
"Now I understand..." Elie said, surprised for the revelation but not showing it. She turned to DJ. "Is it love the reason that why you want to get back to her?"
DJ just frowned and turned his back to Elie. "Why should you care? Are you going to help me or die?"
Xel looked like he was processing something in his mind.
Elie looked at Xel, and then at DJ. She glared at him. "You know I would risk a lot summoning her, and yet you tell me I die if I won't do it... I might die anyways, you know it perfectly." she said. "So tell me this reason, right here and right now."
"......." DJ turned around and faced Elie. "I loved her more than anything and she threw me away like that, nothing. She left me with my 3 children to raise alone, I can't help our daughter turned into a freak..."
"She didn't leave because of that!" Xel snapped. "You can't blame her for that, mother respected her choice, YOU were the one that turned her into a slave trying to change her, then that fire that she died in. That's why mother left...."
"What are you talking about?" Jane asked.
"I had an older sister, Valerie, but...." Xel paused. "She was 'gay' and father didn't agree with that, he enslaved her to try to force change on her, and my mother didn't agree. That's why she left."
"And where's your sister now?" Elie asked to Xel. "Is she... Still alive?"
"As far as I know, she died in the fire trying to rescue her friend." Xel said sadly. "Black Heart didn't give a damn, neither did my father."
"I see..." Elie said quietly. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that... You loved her, didn't you?"
"She was the only one that cared anything about me." Xel answered. "She was kind in every way."
"I see now that you won't assist me, since you're working with him." DJ held a gun out, ready to fire. "Goodbye, Miss Inverse."
Before DJ could shoot, something grabbed the gun and wrenched it from his hand, the drew a sword to DJ and stood by Elie. The person appeared to be a man in a black cloak with a white mask on, his hair was black, in the style of a 'Paige Boy' look. The mask was pasty white mask with pink on the cheeks, red lips, and a pencil tin mustache. A black hat and cape finished the outfit.
Running up behind him was all the prisoners of the ship.
"Elie!" Brandon cried.
"How'd you guys get here?" Elie asked, surprised to see everyone.
"He saved us!" Mayl pointed to the mysterious man.
Elie looked at the masked man, a sweatdrop appeared on her head when she noticed that mask looked pretty ridiculous. "Thank you dude, but I could have stopped him by myself... Anyways, who are you?" she asked.
"Who? Who is but the form following the function of what, and what I am is a man in a mask." the man said.
"We can see that...." Jane grumbled.
The man bowed. "Of course you can... I'm not questioning your powers of observation. I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is?"
"Because even a masked man has a name." Elie said, her left eye twitching. "Or you're trying to tell me you don't have any name? How the heck do people call you?!"
The masked man laughed. "I am the one who has hunted down is vengeful man, the Hellmaster. Vengeance is the only why for him to learn and that is why I am here. To get vengeance for those that he has wrong. Normally, I do not tell anyone my name...." he then did an exaggerated bow. "But on this most auspicious of nights..... Permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet..... To suggest the character of this dramatis persona."
Elie rolled her eyes. "What's with this moron?" she groaned.
The masked man hurled his cape around. "Viola! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran.... Cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate." he said, then pointed to his mask. "This visage, no mere veneer of vanity.... Is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified.... And has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice.... And vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition." he then slashed a 'V' into the mast of the ship. "The only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta........ Held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such.... Shall one day vindicate and the virtuous." the masked man laughed. "Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose."
Elie blinked many times, she didn't understand any freaking word of what that weirdo said. "How many 'v' did he pronounce during all that crap he said?!" she thought. "Oh... Kay... So, you're an avenger or something like that... Right?" she asked.
"More or less. So let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." the man said with another bow.
"Are you like a crazy person?" Aqua asked.
"I am sure there are those that say so." V said. "I can assure you, I mean you no harm."
"V... Okay, Mister V, it's been a pleasure to meet you. I hope to see you around again." Elie said, then turning to Jane and the others. "Let's get outta here."
"Oh, I merely played my part." V replied.
"What does that mean?" Elie asked.
"It means that I like god do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence." V turned to Elie. "But to whom, might I ask, am I speaking?"
"...Eh?" Elie was about to walk away and turned to V with a totally confused look.
"I was merely asking your name." V said.
"...Ah." Elie said. "Don't you know it yet? I'm Elie Inverse."
"But anyhow, I have come to free those captive by the one who calls himself DJ Hellmaster." V said. "I suggest we escape this vessel, as a performance I have already put into place complicates you being here. Shall I suggest an exit?"
Elie's left eyebrow twitched. "Yeah, you can. Let's get going from this rotten hell..." she muttered.
V nodded, he led the group through the ship.
"Wait, you can't leave!" DJ screamed, he turned the Black Heart.
"You still need to finish the battle with me, Inverse!" Black Heart cried.
Then a Navi that looked just like V appeared in front of them, stopping them in his tracks.
"This is my Navi, Vendetta." V explained. "He looks like me to make it appear that there are 2 of me, to confuse my enemies."
"Ruth & Evey sent the charges, I already got them off." Vendetta said.
"Hm... We can talk after we get out of this place, what do you think?" Elie asked in a offhanded tone.
Suddenly, a portal appeared, Tamako, Metalman, Charlie, Gyroman, Dusk, Shadowman, Devilian, & Tuttle fell out.
"Where are we?" Tamako asked.
"Ask later!" Dex cried.
"You two failed?" Curse picked up Devilian & Tuttle.
"By the way, I QUIT!" Keith cried, running to Elie's group.
"So how do we get out?" Jane asked.
"Um, first we have to deal with them." Treble said, pointing to a bunch of fish-like guards, heading towards them.
"Alright..." Elie sighed, charging a small black ball in her hand. "I won't even use my TCM against these little fishes."
The fish-creatures came up with swords, ready to attack. V launched into battle, slashing and hacking at incredible speed.
Elie grinned and charged at the creatures at the same moment as V. "HellBall." she said, the small black ball in her hand sparkling and then exploding in several beams which ran through about fifteen opponents and killed them instantly. She then attacked the rest of them just using her fists, which glowed black and striked the creatures at incredible speed. Once a monster was hit, its head strangely exploded.
More fish-like monsters appeared. V just stood tall, drawing his swords.
"The multiplying villainies of nature do swarm upon him. Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel... Which smoked with bloody execution. We are to blame in this-- 'Tis too much proved. -- that with devotion's visage and pious action we do sugar o'er the devil himself." V said, slashing through each one easily.
"What in the freaking hell are you talking about?" Elie asked quietly, striking the creatures down with her punches and HellBalls, one after another with ease.
"Um, never mind." V said, slashing a creature behind him.
"I say we get off this dammed ship, now!" Anthony grumbled.
Then a creature came out of nowhere and was about to attack Treble.
"TREBLE LOOK OUT!!!" Jane threw herself in front of Treble, bracing for impact.

*********************

But suddenly, a strange light protected her, and destroyed the creature in seconds.
Elie had just blown another couple of creatures up, when she saw the light coming from where Treble and Jane were. She rushed over to them. "Hey, are you two alright? What happened?" she asked.
"I.... I don't know." Jane said, looking shocked.
"It can't be...." Xel said under his breath, as he was just watching and not fighting.
"My, my, my.... That was a magical barrier, was it not?" V asked. "It appears all the parts are playing out."
DJ countered with Vendetta as fast as he could, but he was furious at the thought of Elie escaping the ship. "Dammit! I can't waste time with you! It's Inverse I want!"
"Perhaps this young girl has powers of her own?" V asked.
"How's that possible?" Jane asked.
"I felt a powerful source of magic...." DJ muttered to himself. "Lina's off-spring must be near...."
"Jane, how did you feel before that barrier appeared and protected you?" Elie asked.
"Kind of strange, I wanted to protect Treble no matter what...." Jane answered. "Then I felt this strange light around my body...."
"The willing to protect Treble must of waken something which was asleep inside of you, and you never known about its existence." Elie pondered. "Something that might belong to magic... Like my Etherion, for example."
"That kind of magic could be from a parent, by any chance?" V asked.
"Well, I never knew my parents." Jane answered. "I was raised by an old man that found me."
"Did he ever tell you about your parents?" Elie asked to Jane.
"He said they died." Jane answered.
"Just this? That's a problem..." Elie said, she then closed her eyes.
Mr. Blue Nose's jaw dropped.
"Something wrong?" Lizzie asked.
"Um, nothing......." Mr. Blue Nose said.
"Then you shouldn't be all agitated... You're even sweating." Elie said quietly. "Come on, tell us you know something we should know."
Data looked up at Elie. "Elie.... I think Jane is...."
Then something came up behind Jane and grabbed her.
"Devil Master!" V cried. "He's DJ's Navi."
Devil Master smiled. "Oh just call me Devil Master. Thank you all for helping me find Lina's children...." he snatched Treble next. "When that magical barrier appeared and took out my minions, I knew it had to be the work of Lina's daughter....."
"Let them go, you bastard..." Elie growled, charging a HellBall in her hand. "Or else you'll regret it."
"Lina's daughter...? Jane...?" Elie then thought, realizing just in that moment the meaning of the Navi's words. "She's my daughter?"
"You think you can destroy me without hurting them?" Devil Master asked, holding Jane & Treble close to him.
"So Jane is Treble's twin?" Mayl asked, turning to Mr. Blue Nose.
"I didn't know until she said she was raised by an old man that said her parents were dead and she casted that barrier." Mr. Blue Nose said. "I haven't seen her since she was a baby!"
"You'd better listen to me and let go of them NOW, you coward..." Elie hissed, still holding the HallBall in her hand, even though Devil Master was right... She might of hit Treble and Jane if she attacked in that moment. "Crap..." she cursed in her mind.
"Heh, you can't do it, can you?" Devil Master asked, then he lifted the tentacles on his face up to reveal an orb that fired a beam at Elie. "Kracken Beam!"
Then he jumped back. "Deleted Navi Control!" he held out his hands, pieces of deleted Navis formed new Navis and attacked Elie and the others.
V slashed through some of them. "You use the remains of corpses of Navis for your own bidding? You sick monster."
"Son of a witch... HellBall!" Elie yelled, launching her dark beams which crashed into Devil Master's beam and both the attacks faded away. She then unsheathed the TCM and began slashing and deleting the Navis with ease. "I'll get you after I'm done with those worms, bastard... Oh, I'll get you..."
"Come and get me then." Devil Master teased.
"Miss Inverse, shall I suggest a tag-team assault?" V asked.
"Heh... Alright." Elie said, annoyed by the fact she had to work in team. But she surely couldn't free Treble and Jane and attack Devil Master at the same time, so there was no option but that. The TCM began glowing slowly in her hand.
V jumped forward and was ready to rescue the children as soon as Elie would strike.
"You think you can attack me with those swords?" Devil Master asked, not paying attention to Elie.
Elie noticed Devil Master wasn't paying attention to her, and took advantage from that. "Silfarion." she murmured, her TCM glowed even more until a new blade was formed. It was smaller and thinner than the normal form, and a sort of cloud formed its hilt. Elie slowly moved from behind V.
"Try, I dare you." Devil Master said.
"If you wish." V swirled a sword in his hand and threw it towards Devil Master's head. Devil Master dodged it, but was losing his grip on Treble.
Then V spun around and kicked Devil Master, Devil Master pulled out his sword and tried to tab V, but he couldn't hold onto Treble now.
"...Now!" Elie said in her mind, suddenly disappearing from her spot, some dust raising from the ground. Devil Master suddenly could feel a sharp pain in the arm which was holding Jane, as she suddenly disappeared from his grip. A deep cut now was on Devil Master's arm. Elie reappeared where she was before, holding Jane by her arm.
"Stay here, you." Elie warned before letting go of Jane and disappearing once again, raising a massive pile of dust.
"Wow." Jane said.
V spun around and slashed Devil Master, he crossed swords and pushed Treble to the side.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Devil Master hissed, he couldn't move his arm.
"V, get Treble!" Elie's voice spoke from nowhere. She suddenly appeared just in front of Devil Master, close to him. She grinned. "This is the end for you... Silfarion Lightspeed Dance!" Elie disappeared again and reappeared behind Devil Master, her back turned to him. Devil Master's body got slashed by twelve hits. Four on his legs, four on his arms, two on his sides and two on his chest, forming a 'X'.
"What the hell?!?" Devil Master yelled in shock.
V swiftly grabbed Treble and yanked him out of the way. He placed Treble next to Jane.
Elie turned around to see Devil Master, a grin spreading over her face. "It's just the second form of my toy, deary... Silfarion, the lightspeed blade. Although it's not a so powerful form, it allows me to slash the enemy and run at incredible speed."
"Interesting." Devil Master said, then he saw that V had Jane & Treble. "Now I see why Master DJ wants you, Miss Inverse...."
"Heh, I don't care..." Elie said. "You'd better leave now and tell your Operator he'll NEVER have my powers for his dirty intentions."
"Ah, I see." Devil Master said, smiling.
All the captured Navis fired at Devil Master, destroying the Navi.
"Man he doesn't know when to shut up." ImPal said.
"Nice one, guys." Elie grinned. "He speaks crap even when he's hurt... God, worse than his Operator." She then looked at everybody. "Alright, let's get out of this hell, shall we?"
V nodded. "We shall head for the safest place I know." V led the group to a submarine pod that was on the ship. "Get in, quick."
"Where is this from?" Jane asked.
"How did you think I got on this ship?" V asked.
"Oh so you have a ship of your own?" Dennis asked.
V nodded. "Yes, just follow me."
Elie nodded. "Right, we'd better do it. Come on guys, let's get going." she said to everyone.
"Let us hurry, then." V said, as he helped everyone onto the escape pod.
"You can't leave here!!!!" DJ's voice hollered throughout the ship.
"Watch us." V said, closing the pod.
The pod took off quickly, V starred out a window. "Now everyone, I prepare a show for you all...." he tapped a conductor's wand on a pipe. "A more perfect stage could not be asked for. First, the overture. Yes. Yes, the strings. Listen carefully, can you hear it? Now the brass."
Music started playing from DJ Hellmaster's ship.
"Where is that coming from?" Treble asked.
"It's coming from the ship!" Jane cried.
"Wait. Here comes the crescendo!" V cried.
Suddenly, the Reaper's Revenge exploded into a ball of fireworks that shot out into the sky, making the shape of a 'V'
"How beautiful, is it not?" V cried.
Elie blinked many times and then turned to V. "Now you must tell me what the heck you done to that ship..." she said.
V turned to Elie. "Simple, I placed a series of home-made bombs on the vessel, I didn't expect you to be on the ship, so when I found out I knew I had to remove you all from the ship, or surely you would have been caught in the explosion. Though your battle with DJ distracted him long enough for Vendetta and I to place all the bombs."
Jane still seemed shock about the events. She turned to Elie. "So let me get this straight..... I'm your daughter?"
"It even shocked me when I heard it." Elie said to Jane. "Who would of thought about that..."
"Me too...." Treble said, then his stomach growled. "I'm hungry!"
"Once we get to my safe location Ruth will make you all something...." V said.
V pointed to a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore a red shirt with a white jacket and blue jeans. She was piloting the pod.
"That's good, if you're good at cooking then it's fine with me." Elie said as she patted her stomach.
"Elie...... I need to tell you something...." Data said, hopping on Elie's shoulder.
"What now?" Elie asked. "And why am I missing parts of my memory? You said you gave them all back to me!"
"I only gave you my part...." Data explained. "You see.... Beat has the rest.... That's why Dr. Cain gave you that program, Jane...."
"So that's it...." Elie said, closing her eyes. "That explains the flash I got when Beat was near me...."
Beat flew over to Elie. "Tweet...."
"You think you can give me my memories now?" Elie asked.
Beat nodded, Elie was surrounded by the blue light. Now things became clearer to Elie, as she was shown more of her past, including herself and Spotty holding twin babies....... But there was someone standing by them..... Xellious Noon?


Chapter Thirty-Four: Ryan & Leo? A Team Up of Destruction?
Soon the group reached their new location, it appeared underground and was like a museum.
"Welcome to the The Shadow Gallery." V said.

Brandon looked around. "Nice place."
V stared taking his gloves off to turn a few switches, but V's hands were dark red, almost black.
"What the?!?" Mayl cried when she saw V's hands.
V looked and remembered. "Oh yeah!" V quickly threw his gloves back on. "There, better?"
"Can I ask what happened?" Elie asked.
V stood, taking a few moments to answer. "There was a fire.... A long time ago, ancient history for some...."

"So how do we get back to the tournament area? The others are probably freaked out..." Jake asked.
"Most likely, but if you return those working for DJ Hellmaster will come after you again." V pointed out. "Stay here where you are safe, as I rescue others that could fall into the hands of DJ's minions. There's plenty of food and beds to rest. Evey & Ruth will show you around." Then V stepped out of sight.
"Wait a second!" Elie snapped but V was gone.
"Didn't he say something about food?" Mr. Blue Nose asked.
"Do they have curry?" Yahoot asked.
"Yes, and many other things." Evey said. "Sit down."
There was a huge table in the center of the room, enough seating for 100 people.
"I'll cook you all something up." Ruth said.

"You can explore around if you wish." Evey said.
"Sounds good to me." Elie got up and walked around.
"I'll come too." Jane came along, as did Treble.
"So all this time we were brother & sister?" Treble asked.
"Hey, I didn't know either." Elie pointed out.
"Hey, what's behind this door?" Jane asked.
"Let's find out." Elie said.
They opened the door to find a picture of a red-haired woman, surrounded by roses.
"These flowers look strange...." Treble said.
"I've never seen them before...." Jane said.
Mayl came in behind them. "Pretty."
Elie starred at the picture. "Strange.... I feel like.... I know her....."
Mayl took one rose and brought it to Sal. "Hey Sal, you know a lot about flowers, what is this?"
Sal's eyes widened. "That's a Scarlet Carson, they're believed to be extinct."
"Then how'd it get here?" Blaze asked.
"It was in one of the rooms." Elie walked out and explained.
The halls of the area were filled with all kinds of objects.
Evey and Ruth came out and were filling the table with plates of food.
"Please, sit down and eat." Ruth said.
Everyone nodded and began to eat.
"Oh, and we recovered your PETs...." Ruth said, placing all the PETs on the table.
"YAY!!!!" Aqua cried.
"Thank V." Evey said.
"We would if we could find him." ImPal said.
"V's going to hack into the system so that everyone else who loses the tournament will end up here." Ruth explained, as she brought out plates of food.
"How the heck does he plan on doing that?" Tron asked.
"...... V will find a way....." Evey said.

Back at the stadium, Ryan had just arrived.
"Sweet, another Navi. I'm almost done fixing the bug." Ryan said.

"Last time you said that before a battle, I couldn't move my right foot." NintendoMan pointed out.
"Oh shut up." Ryan scolded.
"Alright then, Jack in, NintendoMan, execute." Ryan plugged in his PET.
"This is too easy, we'll win what ever it is for sure. Unless we face Steve..." NintendoMan said.
Ryan shook his head. "Nah, I think we could take him."
"CapeMan AND CannonMan?" NintendoMan asked,
Ryan paused. ".... Okay, maybe not, but we could put up a good fight."
NintendoMan nodded. "Right, lets just focus on this battle."
Leo walked into the stadium. "Who the heck are you?"
"I'm Ryan." Ryan answered.
"Well I'm Leo." Leo said, plugging in his PET. "And that's Chainsawman...."
"I see why...." Ryan said, looking at Leo's Navi.
"Stand back and let me handle this." Chainsawman said.
"Ha! I've gotten pretty far here on my own!" NintendoMan said.
"Yeah but I'll finish this faster." Chainsawman said.
Boulderman & Massimo appeared in the stadium compt.
"So we meet again...." Boulderman said.
"I thought you were deleted!" Chainsawman growled.
"Yes, but I was brought back." Boulderman said.
"Can we get to the fight?" Massimo asked.
"Yes." Boulderman nodded. "
Bouldissle!"
The 3 spikes on Boulderman's back shot out, Chainsawman cut them with his chainsaw.
"That's all you've got?" Chainsawman asked.
NintendoMan smiled. "Give me something good." he said to Ryan.
"Um.... Master Hand Cross and Summon, Custom Chip in, download!" Ryan threw the chip into his PET.
NintendoMan  held his breath. "This had better work... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
Master Hand appeared beside NintendoMan, who jumped onto him. Master Hand then shot lasers out at Massimo & Boulderman while flying into the air.
"Are you losing energy this time?" Ryan asked.
"Hardly, I think you fixed it. Give me more, got any more element traps?" NintendoMan asked.
Ryan nodded. "Ya, Element Trap, Battle Chip in, download. Super Vulcan, Attack + 10, Battle Chips in, download!" he threw the chips into his PET.
NintendoMan then pulled out the Super Vulcan, and fired direct hits at Massimo.

"Massimo Crusher!" Massimo spun around then crashed his hammer into NintendoMan.
"Ow..." NintendoMan said, still on the Master Hand.
"
Samus, Summon Chip in, download!" Ryan threw yet another chip into his PET.
Samus appeared and charged a blast at Massimo. Massimo tried to counter with his hammer, but the blast blew the hammer up!
"Now Pikachu, Summon Chip in!" Ryan cried.
A little electric mouse appeared and jumped out at Massimo. A massive explosion of electricity shot from Pikachu's body into Massimo, the attack was too much and Massimo collapsed, the black hole took him.
"Boulder Throw!" Boulderman threw 1 boulder after another at Chainsawman, who kept slicing them in half with his chainsaw.
"
Claw Sweep!" Boulderman now came at Chainsawman with his claws.
Chainsawman countered with a chainsaw, and shot out  4 discs.
"
Dig Boulder!" Boulderman dug through the ground and avoided the discs.
"Dammit." Leo cursed.
"Allow me." Ryan said. "Dig Dug, Navi Summon!"
A little white Navi with goggles and a jackhammer appeared. It dug down and blasted Boulderman back to the surface.
"Not bad." Chainsawman grinned.
"You're dead." NintendoMan said, as the Master Hand fired missiles at Boulderman.
BOOM! BLAST!
"You're finished! Chainsawman cried, hacking Boulderman a few more times.
Soon the black hole appeared, and Chainsawman kicked Boulderman down it.
"So much for that...." Leo said.
"YES!!!" Ryan cried.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Necronus's True Power!
In the young man's PET were two cat-like Navis with multiple tails.
"Is this a good idea, Gourry-kun?" The female Navi asked.
"Be quiet, Sileo." the blonde-haired man snapped.
"You've gotta trust him, sis." the male Navi said.
"Shut up, Aeternam!" Sileo barked.
"MAKE ME!!" Aeternam replied.
Gourry rolled his eyes. "Quiet down, you two."
Sileo nodded. "Okay."
"Aeternam, go to Night Stalker mode and try to intercept communications." Gourry commanded. "Sileo, go to A.Ranger mode and cover Aeternam."
Aeternam nodded. "Roger that."
Aeternam's body took on the appearance of camouflage and his buster became more like a silenced Barrett M82-A1 Sniper Rifle.
Sileo nodded. "Okay."
Sileo's body also took on the appearance of camouflage. Her buster took on the appearance of an M249 Squad Automatic Weapon Machine Gun.
"Preparing to monitor and intercept transmissions." Aeternam said.
"Aeternam, be ready for anything." Gourry warned.
Aeternam nodded. "Roger that."
Necronus appeared in the battle machine, Aeternam and Sileo were already Jacked In.
Aeternam looked at Necronus. "Let's get this match started."
"You can go first, dear brother." Sileo said.
"Thanks a lot, Sileo." Aeternam said.
"Let's just get this battle going." Gourry said.
Necronus looked at the Navis. "Two Navis? Suppose I better take this more seriously then." he said, his staff glowing green.
Aeternam's claws glistened in the light. "I'm your first opponent."
Necronus grinned. "And these are your first opponents... DATA NECROMANCY!"
Zombies started to appear.
"LIGHT OF ALDARIA!!" Aeternam cried.
A massive beam of light sliced through the zombies.
"Data Necromancy!" Necronus summoned more zombies.
"Your attack patterns are really predictable." Aeternam's claws began to shine with holy fire. "ETERNAL FIRE FANG!!"
Aeternam dashed through the zombies, then attacked Necronus with his claws, but Necronus blocked with his shield.
"If you have speed then I need armor. Armor Power-up!" Necronus declared.
Two energy swords appeared on two new arms which started to attack Aeternam while the sword-staff glowed dark green and the glow increased slowly.
Aeternam blocked the swords with his other claw. "Sileo! We need to fuse!" he called out.
Sileo nodded. "Right." she ran over to Aeternam.
"NAVI FUSION!!"
Aeternam and Sileo fused to form a powerful, beast-like Navi with red and black fur that had lightning bolts on it. The Navi also had ten thousand tails.
"You've chosen to face the full fury of the storms." the Navi spoke. "I, Tempestoso, shall defeat you."
Tempestoso drew a sword that crackled with power. He began attacking Necronus. His speed was unbelievably fast.
Necronus blocked with his energy swords and shield and his armor was absorbing the rest of the hits.
"STORMBLAZE CANNON!" Tempestoso fired a massive shot at Necronus.
Necronus blocked once again.
"Let's see how well you handle the power of a raging hurricane." Tempestoso dashed at Necronus, attacking at hypersonic speeds.
Necronus was blown backwards by the dash and down on his back. "W-What are you? This isn't the power of a normal Navi."
"You're dealing with a Navi that harnessed the power of storms." Tempestoso explained.
"Then I suppose you are a real threat, at least until now... Armor Upgrade!" Necronus's armor went up and two big blasters were added on two new arms. "You stand no chance now, Surrender and you will be spared."
Tempestoso shook his head. "You've never seen the true fury of a raging storm. BREAK FREE, RAGING TEMPEST!!"
Suddenly, Tempestoso changed. Twelve massive, draconic wings emerged from his back. His body began crackling with the power of a raging storm. His fur was emblazoned with more lightning bolts.
"You stand no chance against the full power of a raging storm." Tempestoso said.
The blasters on Necronus's arms aim towards Tempestoso and Necronus puts his right hand shield on his staff to hold it steady while he was aiming his staff which now was glowing like a dark green sun.
"This is a little combo I call Triple Doom Beam Blast." Necronus said.
The blasters started firing continuos beams while a huge blast 20 times Necronus's size flew away at the speed of light from the staff.
Gourry had quickly reacted to the attack. "Bubble Wrap, activate!"
A bubble surrounded Tempestoso, protecting him from the brunt of the attack. The bubble then reformed around Tempestoso.
"I have to commend you for that excellent display of strength." Tempestoso said. "Had my Operator not activated the Bubble Wrap in time, I might have needed to use a Recover 1000. However, you just ticked me off."
A massive globe of energy formed in Tempestoso's hand. "Voltage Buster, Tempest Overdragon format."
The globe became a massive amount of powerful dragons made of lightning. The dragons snarled as they awaited their creator's command
"Die." Tempestoso said.
The dragons shot forth, flying at the speed of light towards Necronus. Each one attacked a different point on Necronus' body.
The attack hit Necronus, but only left black marks on the armor. "Heheheheheheheee..." Necronus laughed.
"You're more impressive than I first noticed." Tempestoso said. "However, I still have this up my sleeve."
Tempestoso flew high into the air and began gathering storm clouds together. "You'll rue the day you ticked me off."
The storms grew even stronger. Extremely strong winds began to gust around the arena.
"It's time for this to end." Tempestoso said. "LET'S FINISH THIS!! FINAL TEMPEST!!"
The storm unleashed its full fury on Necronus. But Necronus appeared unharmed.
Tempestoso changed back into Aeternam and Sileo.
"Darn it! Aeternam, it's time to change." Sileo said.
Aeternam nodded. "Right. Night Stalker Mode, engage!"
Aeternam's body took on the appearance of night-time camouflage and his buster became more like a silenced Barrett M82-A1 Sniper Rifle. Night-Vision Goggles appeared over his eyes, and his sword became a razor-edged knife.
"Dark Insertion." Aeternam said.
The area went black as night. Aeternam activated his Night-Vision Goggles, and took aim with his buster.
"A. Ranger Mode, engage." Sileo said.
Sileo's body also took on the appearance of nighttime camouflage. Her buster took on the appearance of an M249 Squad Automatic Weapon Machine Gun.
"Ready?" Sileo asked.
During Sileo & Aeternam's transformations, Necronus heard Rezo's voice in his head.
"The Reaper's Revenge was destroyed and the prisoners were freed." Rezo said. "I am communicating with you using my powers, all you need to do is thought-project your reply and I'll hear you. We have to communicate this way to avoid anyone seeing us together, you offered your help in return of entering this tournament."
"I am currently in a battle that is taking time due to my opponent's power and leaving now would arouse suspicion." Necronus snapped at Rezo.
"Get the battle done quickly as we have more trouble." Rezo continued. "Someone's hacking into the system as we speak...."
"Fine, I'll make sure I get rid of these morons fast." Necronus said. "A nice Independence Day laser should do...."
Necronus's energy swords pointed straight up and a skull with 'AC' on it appears and his two Doomblasters merge into a big gun which starts charging for a super attack.
"You really need to learn when to give up." Necronus said to Aeternam & Sileo.
Zombies start rising with no end.
"ETERNAL AIRSTRIKE!!" Sileo cried.
A barrage of missiles was fired at Necronus, striking him everywhere.
"Target acquired. I'm taking the shot." Aeternam said.
A blast shot forth from the darkness and pierced through the zombies.
Necronus leaned on his staff. "That tickled."
"We have no other choice but to let someone better than us defeat this foe." Aeternam said.
Sileo nodded. "Therefore, we forfeit."
Necronus rolled his eyes. "Finally you two got it into your heads you can't beat me."
"We do know someone who can beat you." Aeternam fell into the black hole.
Sileo nodded and fell into the black hole.
"Oh well." Gourry said as he fell down the trap door.

But V had intercepted the transported just in time, Gourry, Sileo, Aeternam, & Massimo landed on the table.
"What the heck?!?" Daven cried.
"Room service?" Miyu joked.
"How'd I end up here?" Massimo asked.
"V did it!" Ruth cried.
"So everyone will be transferred here?" Brandon asked.
Evey nodded. "Yes, I just hope V gets out of there safely...."

Necronus downgraded his armor and Naviported to behind Rezo. "What was it you wanted to see me about?"
"Codename V is here and is trying to free the prisoners." Xel said. "The one you just defeated was sent somewhere else now, I noticed when this moron landed on me...." he pointed to Boulderman.
"I see...." Necronus said. "We might need Dora & John on this one...."

Xel teleported to Dora & John.
Dora was still eating, and didn't notice Xel, neither did John.
"Your probably going to need the energy soon Dora." John said.
"Why?" Dora asked.
"I'm as sure as I can be that Dad and Necronus are involved in this and we are going to be forced to help them." John said.
"Again?" Dora moaned.
Xel walked over to them and dropped their PETs on the table. "Here are your PETs. Rezo, where's Virina?"
"Virina's in John's PET." Rezo answered.
John starred at the PET & Xel. "I just know it.... Necronus is here........"
"NOO!!! Then dad is involved in this!" Dora screamed.
"What makes you ask that?" Xel asked with a sweatdrop on his head.
"BECAUSE THIS HAS DAD WRITTEN ALL OVER IT!" Dora & John screamed.
Necronus Naviported into John's Pet. "Get to work John. See if there are any clues to tampering with the systems, I will tell you why later."
John gulped. "O-ok......" he started typing on his laptop.
"That was interesting...." Xel said.

Chapter Thirty-Six: A Nurse & Demon to the Left, a Frog & Indians to the Right, and Stuck in the Middle With Cyber Pirates!
Alex stood, waiting as Shuko & Ribbita walked in.
"Are you both facing me?" Alex asked.
"I-I-I guess...." Shuko said.
"Whoa, what a turn of events!" Ribbita said. "I wish I had my camera!"
Then a woman with long blonde hair in a red bow and a nurse's outfit came out. She bowed. "I'm Nurse Assistant Mina Melody." she said.
"So it's 2 on 2?" Ribbita asked.
"Actually 3 on 3." a voice said from the battle machine.
Alex looked. "Deimosman!"
Sure enough Deimosman was in the compt, along with Incentas.
"So how's this work?" Mina asked.
"You, me, & Deimosman against them." Alex explained.
"Sounds good." Deimosman said.
"And here we go!" Ribbita cried, plugging in her PET.
Toadman appeared. "I'm ready for action!"
Aquaman appeared. "Here goes...."
Angelman appeared. "You're going down!"
Incentas appeared. "Remind me why I'm here again?"
A blue-haired Navi appeared. The Navi was mostly purple and blue. "My name's Sehairal." she said.
"Now let's begin!" Ribbita cried.
Toadman launched a lighting bolt at Deimosman.
"DEIMOS DART!!" Deimosman launched a swarm of homing darts at Toadman.
CLASH! The two attacks canceled each other out!
Incentas stomped his foot down, a large wave came crashing down at Angelman.
"Angel Spear!" Angelman cut through the wave and sliced Incentas, but Incentas grabbed Angelman and slammed him to the ground, and pinned Angelman down with his large foot.
Deimosman turned. "
SHINING DEIMOS SABER!!"
Deimosman's sword glowed with holy light. Deimosman then ran forward and delivered a devastating slash to Incentas, knocking him off Angelman.
"Healing Orb!" Sehairal threw 2 orbs and healed Deimosman & Angelman.
"What was that for?" Angelman asked. "We weren't really hurt."
"My only power is to heal." Sehairal explained. "All I can do is keep you both in health. Otherwise all I can do is throw orbs...."
"That does us a lot of good..." Alex groaned.
"It's the way she was programmed...." Mina said.
"Water Spout!" Aquaman held out his hands and a water spout appeared, firing a powerful stream of water.
"Deimos-Buster!!!!" Deimosman destroyed the water spout with his buster.
Toadman shot out a music note, it paralyzed Sehairal.
Incentas now grabbed Sehairal and threw her into Angelman, then kicked up another wave.
Deimosman charged through and started punching Incentas, then Incentas grabbed Deimosman and picked him up.
"DEIMOS INFERNO!!" Deimosman cried.
Suddenly, Incentas was engulfed with holy flames. "AARRGGHH!!!"
Incentas let go of Deimosman. Aquaman shot a stream of water to put out the flames.
Deimosman ran over to Sehairal, who couldn't move. "Don't worry, I can heal as well. IRIDESCENT GAZE!!"
Deimosman closed his eyes, then opened them again. A wave of healing power passed over Sehairal.
"Nice try but I'm stronger than that!" Incentas growled.
"Then face your worst fears. IMPERIOUS GLARE!!" Deimosman's eyes turned black. He stared at Incentas.
Incentas couldn't move.
"What did he do?" Ribbita asked.
"That's Deimosman's special ability to paralyze his foe just by looking at them." Alex explained.
"Water Spout!" Aquaman's water spout appeared again, but this time Toadman filled the stream of water with electric sparks.
The water attack slammed into Deimosman while he was busy with Incentas. He was hit hard!
"ABYSS BUSTER!!" Angelman fired at Aquaman & Toadman.
Sehairal ran over to Deimosman. "The least I could do is this... Hyper Healing Charge!" A large amount of energy was transferred from Sehairal to Deimosman.
Deimosman stood tall, and nodded to Sehairal. "Thank you, I shall put it to good use."
"JUDGMENT OF DEIMOS!!" Deimosman cried, dashing straight forward towards Toadman & Incentas. "I MAKE MY JUDGMENT!!!!" he declared, as he struck Toadman & Incentas with his spear. "GUILTY!!!!"
"What in the world?" Ribbita asked.
"That was the Judgment of Deimos technique. By pronouncing you guilty, the mark I made on your body will start to drain your energy." Deimosman explained.
Toadman & Incentas fell over as their energy was drained. Aquaman didn't know what to do now.
"Time to finish this...." Deimosman said. "DEIMOS INFERNO!!"
Both Toadman & Incentas were surrounded by flames, the 2 Navis were taken by the black hole.
Ribbita fell down the trap door.
"Oh dear...." Shuko said.
Aquaman fell over and started crying, the black hole took him soon, then Shuko fell down the trap door.
"Well that wasn't so hard." Alex said.
"Perhaps because I did all the work?" Deimosman asked.
"Thank you very much." Mina said.

Rahoul & Dingo had entered the stadium to find a girl with a pink shirt with blue overalls, black shoes and a straw hat.
"My name's Clarissa Amber." the girl said, then pointed to her Navi in the net. "And that's Genial."
The Navi had golden yellow hair, pink boots, her chest plate was blue, helmet was violet, and arms were various shades of pink and red.
Amber stood alone on the other side of the battle machine.
"So is it us against you?" Dingo asked.
"Not quite." SunStar said from inside the machine.
"We're in here." Ballade said.
"And ready to fight." Shadow said.
"Wait..." Tomahawkman said, as he appeared in the machine. "Us 2 against 4 of them?"
"No, I'm with you." Shadow said. "That's the arrangement because this is the side I was sent to."
"Actually add 1 more to the other side." another Navi in a white body suit appeared near Genial. "Call me Neosman."
A boy ran up next to Rahoul. "Sorry I'm late." he plugged in his PET. "I'm Jacob, by the way."
"So this is a 4-on-4 fight?" Rahoul asked. "That's strange...."
Jacob's Navi appeared. "Be careful Kuragari. I don't like the look of this Navi..." he warned, as he was looking at Neosman.
"So I'm the only human on this side?" Amber asked.
"Don't worry, we won't lose." Neosman said. "Neo Spacians! Arise!!"
Six pillars appeared in front of Neosman. One was made of water, the second fire, the third was darkness, the fourth was wind, the fifth looked like earth, and the sixth was light.
"What are those things?" Thunderman asked.
"Now! Arise!" Neosman cried.
The pillars exploded, and 6 Navis stood in their place. One was a blue, human-shaped dolphin. The second was a black scarab with flames in his eyes. The third was a black panther with a cape. The fourth was a red, human-shaped Hummingbird with large, white wings. The fifth was a mole with a collar on that had two drills attached. The sixth, and final, was mearly a glowing mass shaped like a human.
Kuragari stared at Neosman in disbelief. "Oh, you have got to be kidding me...."
"Afraid not." Neosman replied, then pointed at the Panther. "Neo Spacian Black Panther! Fusion!"
The panther turned into a black puddle, and leapt onto Neosman, who began glowing in a dark light
.
"What's he doing?" SunStar asked.
When the light faded, Neosman's body had changed. His armor was now black, except for his chest, which was still white. He had three claws on each hand, and his head had a V-shape attached.
"Now, Panther Claws!" Neosman teleported behind Kuragari and slashed him across the back.
"AGH! That's it! Lightning Bolt!
" Kuragari growled.
Kuragari's lightning bolt had hit Neosman directly, and pushed the panther out of him.
"So, you're a lightning element." Neosman said.

"Thunder Blast!" Thunderman fired at the group.
"Ballade Cracker!" Ballade threw a bomb out.
"Tomahawk Blade!" Tomahawkman threw his tomahawk, which hit the Ballade Cracker, causing it to explode!
The smoke covered the area, and Ballade moved in and threw another bomb at Shadow.
"What the?!?" Shadow slashed the bomb and it exploded in his face!
"Plasma Gatling Gun!" Genial's arm turned into a cannon and fired a few rounds at Shadow.
Shadow was knocked out and then taken by the black hole.
"Time to show you the true power of Thunderman!" Rahoul cried.
Thunderman held out his hands. A large thundercloud appeared over SunStar & Ballade, which Ballade has another Ballade Cracker ready.
Thunderman shot out a massive electric attack at the cloud, which powered it up and then a huge lighting bold came crashing down on Ballade's bomb.
KA-BOOM!!!! The bolt caused the bomb to explode, SunStar & Ballade were taken by the black hole.
"Un-oh...." Genial said, she ran and began charging her buster, it changed colors as she charged it.
"Ground Mole! Contact Fusion!" Neosman shouted, and the mole merged with him in a brown light.
Neosman changed once again, and had a large drill on his right arm.
Kuragari stared at the new version of Neosman in shock. "Oh boy...." he gulped.
Neosman grinned, though it wasn't visible through the mask over his mouth. "I suggest you give up."

Neosman struck the ground with his drill, launching a shockwave and several boulders at Kuragari.
Kuragari dodged the shockwave, but was slammed into the ground by the boulders
.
"Time to kick it up a notch. Grand Drill!" Neosman shouted, before launching the drill on his arm at Kuragari.
The drill slammed into Kuragari's chest, sending him flying across the battlefield.
"Hang on Kuragari! Recovery 100! Download!" Jacob threw a chip into his PET.
"Panther Block!" Neosman said.
The Panther turns into a black puddle, and surrounds all the Navis and Neo Spacians in a black dome. The slots on Rahoul, Dingo, Amber, & Jacob's PETs closed, preventing Battle Chips from being slot in.
"The Panther Block is both a powerful and dangerous technique."
Neosman explained. "It prevents any of us from using Battle Chips for the remainder of the battle. You're finished."
"Wait then I can't use chips!" Amber cried.
Kuragari was fully healed, thanks to a Recovery chip that had been downloaded before.
Kuragari grinned. "Now I get serious."
Neosman demerged from Grand Mole, and stood in front of the six. "You want to get serious? Alright then. I'll fight you without the Spacians." he said, and got into a fighting stance.
"This battle is in the bag now." Kuragari said with a grin, and fired a lightning bolt.
A black portal opened in front of Neosman, sucking the lighting bolt in.
Another portal opened behind Kuragari, and he was struck with his own attack.
"Give it up. I'm at my strongest without the Spacians."
Neosman said. "Just give up. It's over...."
Neosman's fist grew to a ghostly white, as he slammed into Kuragari's chest, sending him flying into the black hole.
"Crap...." Jacob said, and fell down the trap door.

But Tomahawkman & Thunderman were still after Genial.
"Hey are you done so you can get these guys off my back?!?" Genial growled.
"You need to teach your Navis some manners." Neosman told Amber.
Amber sighed. ".... She's just that way...."
Neosman opened a black portal and like before sent Tomahawkman & Thunderman's own attacks back at them.
Genial spun around and finished charging her buster. "Solar Charge Blaster!!!" she fired the massive charge of energy which hit Tomahawkman & Thunderman head-on, the 2 Navis were taken by the black hole.
Rahoul & Dingo fell down the trap door.
"Wow, does this mean I won?" Amber asked.
"You could say that." Neosman said.

All the Navis & Operators were sent to the Shadow Gallery, they all landed in a corner.
"Ack!" Ribbita groaned.
"Where are we?" Ballade asked.
"Nice to see you've joined us." Jentra said.
"Oh so this is where you've been?" Incentas asked.
"Trust me, you missed the worst part." Enker said.
"I guess V's doing one thing right." Jake said.
"Yeah, they are showing up here." Blaze said.
".... Where.... Did.... These.... People...." Shori said, but everyone just glared at her.
"Forget it Shori!" Salabi groaned.
Ailias looked worried in a corner.
"Are you okay Ailias?" Daven asked.
Ailias nodded. "Yes, I'm fine." she said, but she didn't seem right.
"How many are left?" Amy asked.
"No idea." Jacob said.
"I don't think there's that many..." Shuko said.
"Well all we can do is wait here for now..." Dennis said.
"Not like we have much of a choice...." Brandon pointed out.
"Just let V handle it." Ruth said. "Believe me, you got into something more than you thought.... This is bigger than just a little tournament.... The fate of the world cold rely on the results of this outcome....."

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Program Delete V Final!
A Navi in a black outfit with a white mask was in the net, rerouting the traps doors and the black holes. The Navi resembled V very much.
"Almost done....." V muttered. "This way they'll be safe...." V turned, trying to find an exit.

Back in an unknown room, John suddenly
raised an eyebrow. "Seems as if somebody is re-routing the trap doors, extracting target location data now..."
''Too good for our own good....'' Dora grumbled.
In John's pet Virina and P-Man were hiding in a corner while Necronus was looking at them.
"WHAT?!?!?" Xel screamed. "How did someone get pasted my security?!?!?"
"Like that?" Dora pointed to the screen, which showed V.
"It figures he's a Navi, no wonder father can't seem to kill him..." Xel said.
"Got it!" John cried. "Location extracted, Forcing the area to lock down and power down..... NOW!"
"What the?" V asked, as the Net Area grew dark and a cage came down. V nearly avoided it. "Who's there?" Then V hid in the shadows.
"What are you waiting for?" Xel asked. "DELETE HIM!!!"
"I have no control over his data so I can't just press delete." John pointed out. "I did what was the safest since unless he has something like Virina's portals he can't get out of there now and he will run out of power. His only way 'out' would be into this laptop in which I CAN just press delete. However I did copy a thing that's always after Virina that would force him to expend his power supply quicker....."
"Then do it and kill this bozo...." Xel snapped.
Then a voice came up from behind them.
"Remember, remember, the 5th of November, the gunpowder treason and plot.... I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot."
A chill run down Xel's back, he turned and saw that V stood behind them, swords drawn.
"How can he be here and in the Net at the same time?!?!?" Xel cried.

Dora turned to John. "John?"
John held his hands up. "Wild guess? Operator and Navi look alike."
"
So you wish to fight?" V asked. "My Navi Vendetta you confused for me."
Dora pushed Xel to V. "Here you go!"
"YOU CHICKENS!" Xel screamed.
"So the fake priest approaches me?" V asked.
"FAKE?!?" Xel fired a shot from his staff.
V swiftly avoided it, and threw a sword at Xel, which Xel teleported, but the sword was still going and was heading towards Dora now!

Dora ducked. "ARE YOU CRAZY?!?!?!" she hollered.
"I wasn't aiming for you." V remarked, pulling out another sword.
"DIE!" Xel shot a fireball at V.
V sliced through it with a sword, then kicked Xel. Then V pointed the swords at Dora & John. "Who are you and why are you here?" V asked.
"We are just forced minions, If we don't help him our dad will kill us. Literally." John answered.
V just starred at John. "Ah, so another heartless father that would throw away the lives of his children just for not following orders and are not allowed to live free."
Xel's eyes opened and looked confused. "What are you talking about?"
"You should know." V said, then turned to John & Dora. "I can take you out of here and take you to a safe location. All I ask in return is your cooperation."

John shook his head. "No can do, as long as our dad exists. Note that I say Exists not lives, we don't have a choice in this matter, he would clone us just to punish us."
V turned and just sighed. "It's remarkable what your parents do when you don't follow their orders. We're a lot alike in more ways than you know." V then turned to Xel. "Tell your father I'm coming for him, and if he wants me, I'll be in the stadium and he can battle me as his opponent."
"You really think he'll enter the tournament?" Xel asked.
"If not, he can always ask his friend to battle me." V said, then disappeared in a dark corner.
Xel turned to Dora & John. "Friend? He must mean your father...."
Dora and John started sweating when Xel looked at them.
"I think he wants you to get to work John..." Dora said.
John gulped. "T-tracking the intruder..."
Necronus sighed. "Sometimes I wonder if you two are just failed lab experiments...."
"I've heard that before...." Xel muttered. "My father & sister wonder that a lot...."
"
Let me guess, You have the same kind of relationship with your father and sister as I do with mine?" John asked.
Dora started pulling on John's face. "What do you mean with that?"

A Navi appeared in the Net Area. "Scanning area.... Target found." it raised its buster arm. "Deletion Shot."
"The edge of death nears but he is not distort. He flees the scene to find a best method of escape." Vendetta said, slicing a piece of the area and used it like a shield.
Vendetta then charged in and slashed the Navi multiple times, it fell apart into Data Cubes and a white portal opened and the cubes where sucked in.
"Delete V. Final defeated already?" Dora asked.
"Restoring Data...... Done." John said as Delete V. Final was transferred to his laptop. "Activating support program....."
"Rebooting..... Reboot complete." Delete V. Final said. "Support program found, uplinking........."
"Uplink complete." Delete V. Final said, returning to the area. "You will not win this time! Instant Delete!"
Vendetta leapt over Delete
V. Final's head.
"
Launch Grab!" Delete V. Final launched a hand at high speed and caught Vendetta.
Vendetta broke free of the hand, slashing and slicing with his sword.
Delete V. Final performed a spin attack with its tail to knock Vendetta down.
Vendetta jumped up and performed a cross slash at Delete V. Final, breaking it to pieces.
The parts turned into Data Cubes. Some sort of transmitter behind energy fields lights up. The Data Cubes reformed into their respective parts.
"You can not defeat me this time." Delete V. Final said.
John looked at his laptop. "
He's going to try to stress the program it seems... Virina! Go help Delete."
"
You DID delete his old objectives didn't you?" Virina asked.
"Of course I did!" John yelled.
Virina sighed and opened a portal, joining the battle. "
Don't hold a grudge, ok? VC PROGRAM! V-BUSTER GAMMA!" her buster formed and started shooting.
"Well, I don't have time for this as my match is starting again soon." Necronus said. "Make sure you delete him."
Necronus Naviported out of the area.

Necronus appeared in front of Lan in the battle arena. "Sorry to be late."
"A Solo Navi?" Lan asked, confused.
The Dimensional Area surrounded the area.
"So let's make this battle fast and interesting." Necronus said. "I'm a little busy and pressed for time."
Lan slotted in his Synchro Chip. "CROSS FUSION! Well then we'll beat you fast then!"
"Lan, watch out, there's something about this I don't like...." Megaman said.
"You worry too much." Lan said.
Necronus grinned. "DATA NECROMANCY!"
Zombies started to appear.
"What the?!?" Lan cried. "Spreader, Battle Chip in!"
Lan's arm changed into a buster that fired a wide-range multiple burst shot, deleting the zombies.
"Ah, you're not bad I see." Necronus said, summoning more zombies.
"Cross Slash, Battle Chip in!" Lan cried.
Lan swiftly jumped forward and slashed through the zombies.
"Is that all you've got?" Lan asked.
"
Triple Doom Beam Blast!" Necronus was firing at Lan at rapid speed.
"Area Steal, Battle Chip in!" Lan teleported away from the blasts.
"Lan, you've only got 2 chips left." Megaman warned.
"I know." Lan said. "Condor, Battle Chip in!"
A bird-like virus appeared, Lan jumped onto it and it flew around Necronus, at the same time Lan fired his buster at the Navi.
"Gold Fist, Battle Chip in!" Lan cried.
Lan's hand turned into a large, golden fist, he charged into Necronus with a powerful punch.
Necronus blocked with his shield. "You'll have to do better than that, boy."
Lan growled. "What do I do?"
"I don't know but you're out of chips!" Megaman warned. "The Cross Fusion only allows 5 chips!"
"Which means I'm dead!" Lan cried.
"Exactly...." Necronus laughed.
Suddenly, a black hole appeared and Vendetta came falling out. Virina & Delete V. Final landed on Necronus.
"Seems as if the controls to the trap doors in reverse worked.... Interesting. Um, boy, I think a program is following me on the war-path, just to let you know." Vendetta said.
"Who are you?" Lan asked.
"I have no name, you may call me V." Vendetta answered.
"GET OFF OF ME!" Necronus shoved Delete V. Final & Virina off of him.
"Boy, I need you to give up." Vendetta said.
"No way!" Lan growled. "And it's Lan, not boy!"
"Whatever your name is, do you want to live?" Vendetta asked.
Necronus was charging up his laser, ready to fire.
"I don't run from a fight!" Lan declared.
"Well you'll die at that rate." Vendetta said, hitting Lan from behind, canceling his Cross Fusion.
"What was that for?!?" Lan barked.
Suddenly the trap door opened, taking Lan & Vendetta.
Necronus fired his laser, but missed because they were gone!
"DAMN IT!" Necronus growled. "He used the trap doors to get away...."

Lan flew right into the group in the Shadow Gallery. Vendetta landed safely.
"Is everyone ok?" Ruth asked.
"Lan!" Mayl ran up and hugged Lan.
"Mayl? You're safe!" Lan cried.
"What happened to Roll?" Megaman asked, as he appeared out of the PET. "And how'd I get out here?"
"This place is designed for Navis to walk free around." Evey explained.
"Roll's been like this since the battle." Mayl explained.
Megaman looked over the purple-colored Roll.
"Is she okay?" Lan asked.
"No, that's why she's the wrong color...." ImPal said, rolling his eyes.
"So this is where you've all been?" Lan asked.
"Not quite." Koji said.
"It's a long story...." Chaud said.
V had just walked in. "I take it the mission was a success?"
"It appears that someone might have tried to track me." Vendetta said. "There was a program sent to delete me."
"Hm, then he must know I'm the one who rescue the future victims...." V said. "This will complicate things, a little......"

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Black Alex Plus Neos Matrix Equals Zero!
Alex entered the stadium, awaiting his next challenge.
Black Heart walked in. "Well, this is going to be fun." she chuckled.
"You...." Alex growled.
"Well shall we begin?" Black Heart asked, transferring into the Net.
Pearl & Dantz were waiting.
"What are you doing here?" Angelman asked, as he appeared in the Net.
"This is out battle too." Pearl said. "We entered the tournament."
"Yeah but who's fighting who?" Dantz asked.
"I'm going to delete all 3 of you!" Black Heart declared.
"Not as long as I'm here." Angelman said.
"Oh we'll see about that." Black Heart said.
"You haven't seen me when I get serious." Alex said. "Besides this way I can rub it into Daniel that I beat you!"
"Heh." Black Heart giggled. "You nor Daniel shall ever defeat me."
"Then battle and prove it!" Angelman snapped. "You 2 stay out of this."
Pearl & Dantz looked at each other.
"So let's do it then." Black Heart said.
Angelman nodded. "DARK BLADES OF THE CATACLYSM!!"
The twin blades of darkness emerged from Angelman's forearms.

"Do you always use the same old moves?" Black Heart groaned.
"Do you always have to bore and annoy people?" Alex snapped.
"I'll teach you!" Black Heart growled. "Bomb Spread!"
A series of small fireballs shot out from Black Heart's hands.
Angelman slashed them out of the air.
"A mere weak spell like that?" Angelman asked. "Are you toying with me?"
"Just warming up." Black Heart said. "Rune Flare!"
A series of missiles fired at Angelman, Angelman slashed each one down.
"Damu Brass!" Black Heart shot out a ray of energy,
BOOM! This one exploded on contact.
"I'm not going down. DIE!!" Angelman lunged at Black Heart, his Dark Blades of the Cataclysm blazing.
"Diem Wing." Black Heart casted, creating a strong blast of wind that knocked Angelman down before he could strike.
Black Heart sighed. "You're not even worth my time."
"Do I have to listen to you bicker or are we actually going to fight?" Alex growled.
"Don't get in the way of those two." Dantz said.
"What did we get into?" Pearl asked.
"Icicle Lance!" Black Heart summoned a lance of ice and hurled it at Angelman.
"Fire Blade, Battle Chip in." Alex slotted a chip into his PET.
A sword engulfed in flames appeared on Angelman's arm, he slashed through and melted the ice lance.
"Houl Freeze." Black Heart now summoned a blizzard.
"You think this will hide you?" Angelman asked.
"No, more like give me an opening." Black Heart said. "Hellball!" she hurled a black ball of energy at Angelman.
Angelman sliced it in half with his blade. "Try harder."
"I will." Black Heart said. "Dug Wave!"
An explosion came from under Angelman's feet, blowing him into the air.
Angelman took to the air, and drew his A-Scythe. "Now you've ticked me off." he growled. "YOU'LL PERISH!!"
Angelman charged at Black Heart, who just brushed her hair to the side with one hand.
"Fool, like a moth to the flame." Black Heart said, she went right into chanting her spell. "Black charge of darkness that is blacker than thy night, purge me with your darkness so that I can become one with your power, infuse me with the power to destroy all those who oppose me! DARK CHARGE BLAST OF DESTRUCTION!!!"
Black Heart hurled a massive blast of darkness into Angelman's face, blowing him down to the ground with a large crash.
Black Heart dusted her hands. "So much for that."
Angelman stood up, he charged into Black Heart and stabbed her. "I'M NOT THROUGH YET!!!"
Black Heart gasped, she teleported out of Angelman's grasp, and appeared near Pearl & Dantz.
"Well damn, if I can't get rid of you...." Black Heart looked at the two Navis in the corner of her eye. "Then I'll delete these pests."
"NO!" Alex cried.
"Un-oh." Pearl gulped.
Dantz threw himself in front of Pearl. "Pearl, run!"
"And leave you?" Pearl asked. "NEVER!"
"The she'll kill us both!" Dantz pointed out.
"And if I do she'll kill you!" Pearl snapped.
Black Heart grinned. "You've chosen your fate, live with it!" she hissed, her black charms glowing. "
I call upon the Lord of Darkness, bring to thee the power of the gods to bring fourth the ultimate power! Give me all your strength as we crush this foe together!"
Black Heart's amulets began to glow even brighter than before, filling with power, she began chanting her spell.
"Dark Lord that powers this world, bring thee to myself and take this shell to use as thy own. Impower me with the great power you posses! Bring me the strength to destroy my foe! LORD OF NIGHTMARES POWER BEAM!"
A super-charged purple and black beam of power exploded from Black Heart's hands, then she casted another spell.
"Darkness come to my aid, blacken this earth with your presence.... Bring into my hands your power, to destroy that with stands in the way of my goals! DARKNESS GIGA SHOCK!!!"
Purple sparks surrounded the massive beam of power, which Black Heart hurled at Pearl & Dantz! There was no time to escape, no where to run.
"This is it!" Dantz cried, hiding Pearl behind him.
But right before the blast hit, Angelman rushed to scene and shoved himself in the way. He was hit with the brunt of the attack, Pearl & Dantz merely received the fallout.
"I knew the fool would fall for it." Black Heart chuckled.
"Sacrificing one's life for another is an act of foolishness?" Alex asked. "You truly are twisted."
Black Heart grinned. "I won this way."
The 3 Navis laid unconscious on the ground, the black hole soon took them.
"You'll pay, witch." Alex said, just before he fell down the trap door.

Yuna transported to her next battle, where Zero was waiting.
"I see now we face each other." Zero said.
Elnar glared at Yuna.
"Yeah...." Yuna said with a sweatdrop on her head, knowing that if she protested Elnar would scream.
"Well let's get this over with." Zero said, his Z-Saber was ready.
Elnar transformed into a sword handle. "Light come fourth!" Yuna shouted, as the blue blade appeared.
Jina, Erina, Martina, & Yuri stood on the side.
"Do you think she'll need us?" Jina asked.
"Most likely." Erina said.
"Stand your ground until then." Martina said.
"Go get him Yuna!" Yuri shouted.
Zero attacked first, coming at Yuna with incredible speed. Yuna held up her sword, ready to block.
CLASH! The two swords hit, but Zero moved to get in a better slash.
"I'll make this quick and painless." Zero said.
"Not so fast." Yuna said, she lifted her sword up and cross-slashed Zero's saber.
"Not bad." Zero said, retracting his sword and then went in for an upper-cut slash.
CLANG! Yuna countered and blocked the slash, she now swirled the swords together and broke out of contact.
Zero side-stepped and tried to slash Yuna from the side, but Yuna spun around and dodged quickly.
"Hmm...." Zero said. "This might be harder than I thought."
Zero now charged in with another slash, Yuna was prepared, but not for Zero's right hand which punched her in the stomach, and sent her flying backwards.
"Gaahhhh..." Yuna groaned, but she could stand up.
"Yuna! Are you okay?" Yuri called out.
Yuna nodded. "Yep."
Yuna now dashed up and kicked Zero in the face, she tried to plunge her sword into him, but he blocked with his Z-Saber.
"Drat." Erina said. "She could have had him...."
Zero held Yuna suspended in the air with the two swords clashed at each other. Yuna used this to swing up and kick Zero in the face again, before landing on her feet.
"Nice one." Martina said.
Zero dashed in again, but this time he disappeared from sight, he appeared behind Yuna, slashing and hacking away at her.
"AAAIIIEEE!!!" Yuna let out a scream, as she was hurt from the attack.
"I don't want to hurt you anymore than I have to, Yuna." Zero said.
Yuna pulled out a laser gun from the compartment on her leg, she fired it at Zero. BLAST! Zero was caught off-guard.
Yuna used this distraction to jump up and slash Zero with the Sword of Light.
CRACK! The Z-Saber broke in two, Yuna swirled her sword in her hands.
"Now please give up so I don't have to really hurt you?" Yuna asked.
"YUNA!!" Elnar screamed.
"What?" Yuna asked. "I don't want to hurt Zero...."
Zero laughed a little. "For someone who has as much power as you, you always try to avoid using it...."
"That's why she's the keeper of the Matrix of Light." Jina said.
"I can truly see now why Lord S chose you." Zero said. "Therefore, I forfeit."
"You do?" Erina asked, shocked.
Zero bowed to Yuna. "You fight honorably."
Yuna smiled. "Thank you, Zero."
The black hole appeared and took Zero.

Neosman was in the battle machine for over 2 hours.
"If he doesn't hurry I'm sure he's going to be disqualified...." Neosman said, extremely agitated.
Daniel suddenly teleported into the stadium.
"About time...." Neosman growled.
"Shut up." D-Nightmare said.
"Here's the deal: I want this fight to be a truly fair fight. No weapons, no Battle Chips, nothing. I won't use anything like that if you won't." Daniel said.
"I don't use Battle Chips." Neosman said. "Or are you blind and can't see the fact that there is no Operator with me?"
Daniel ignored Neosman and plugged in his PET.
D-Nightmare appeared. "
I'm D-Nightmare. Let's make this a good, clean fight."
"I had already planned to make it a fair fight." Neosman snapped his fingers and Dark Panther appeared, creating a dome around them. "But this is to prevent temptation."
"Not necessary." Daniel said.
"Ready when you are." D-Nightmare added.
"I don't take risks." Neosman explained. "Oh, and you can go first."
D-Nightmare ran at Neosman, then leapt high into the air. Neosman grinned as a ring of space energy surrounded his arms and legs.
Powerful arcs of black energy surrounded D-Nightmare's body as he came charging in at Neosman, but Neosman quickly jumped backward and shot a laser of space energy at D-Nightmare.
D-Nightmare moved one of the arcs to deflect the laser, then a bolt of black energy lanced out towards Neosman, but a drill appeared on Neosman's left hand which he used to deflect it.
D-Nightmare quickly sent more black energy lancing at Neosman. Neosman continued to block the energy with his drill, before slamming it into the ground.
"GAAV SABRE!!" D-Nightmare hollered.
Several of the arcs formed into swords, but a portal opened around Neosman, sucking in the remaining arcs and eliminating them.
"
Those arcs are an extension of me." D-Nightmare explained, as more expanded on his body.
Neosman stood up. "As is space to me... As are the Neo Spacians."
The pillars of light appeared behind him again, as he pulled the spear up and pointed it into the sky
.
"We're evenly matched then." D-Nightmare said.
Neosman shook his head. "No, we're nowhere near matched."
Neosman shot the darkness into the sky, creating a new dome so Dark Panther could join the other Spacians
. All 6 Spacians transformed into a being that partly resembled Neosman.
"Get ready, D-Nightmare." Daniel warned.
The arcs around D-Nightmare's body formed swords. ".... I'm always ready..... FIREBALL!"
D-Nightmare prepared to hurl a fireball at Neosman.
"Aqua Dolphin." Neosman said.
A huge Tidal wave hit D-Nightmare just as he was attacking, canceling the attack
.
"Grand Neos." Neosman said.
An earthquake was sent toward D-Nightmare, knocking him off balance.
"VICE FREEZE!!" D-Nightmare cried.
"Flare Neos." Neosman said.
A huge flame erupted from the crater-like Spacian, sending a huge fireball heading toward D-Nightmare, which crashed through the attack and into D-Nightmare's chest.
"Gah!! You asked for this one. BLAST BOMBS!!" D-Nightmare growled.
"DARK NEOS!" Neosman cried.
Dark Neos
stepped forward as a spear of light formed in its hand. It stabbed one of its claws directly through D-Nightmare's chest, a field of dark energy exploding from the impact point.
The arcs of energy had shielded D-Nightmare from the explosion. "Foolish." D-Nightmare said.
"You're the fool. I wanted you to do that. Glow Neos, Darkness Crusher." Neosman commanded.
Glow Neos's spear glowed a bright white, and the arcs disappeared, but surprisingly Dark Neos didn't.
"The Darkness Crusher destroys anything made of dark energy. You can't use that attack again." Neosman explained.
"Apparently, you haven't gotten the message yet!" D-Nightmare cried. "GAIA CRUSHER!!"
Neosman sighed. "Neither have you. Magma Neos."
Air Neos and Flare Neos shot a combined fireball and tornado at Neos, creating a Neos clone like a volcano.
"Magma Crash." Neosman said.
Magma Neos fired a surge of magma into the cracks from the battle, causing several volcanos to appear
.
"You're playing right into a trap of mine. GAIA'S FIST!!" D-Nightmare slammed his hand into the ground. Magma came surging up beneath Neosman and his allies.
Neosman laughed. "Marine Neos."
Aqua Neos cloned itself, only this one was of a darker color. The magma was instantly hardened by a surge of water, while Neosman grinned.
"Give up D-Nightmare...." Neosman said.
"You've left me no other choice. CYBER MAGICKS, AID ME!!" D-Nightmare cried, as he changed form. "MATRIX BUSTER!!"
Neosman closed his eyes. "Dark Neos. Glow Neos. End this pitiful battle....."
While Marine Neos and Magma Neos stood in front of Neosman to guard him, the other 6 disappeared
.
D-Nightmare shook his head. "Not likely, because if I go down, I'm taking all of you with me!"
D-Nightmare flew high above Neosman, his wings crackling with massive amounts of power.

"Just try it. You can't even touch me...." Neosman said.
"I don't have to." D-Nightmare said. "GENESIS CATACLYSM!!"
Neosman merely looked at him, not moving an inch.
"I'll see that you are defeated!!" D-Nightmare declared, his body began to crackle with energy as he prepared to unleash a powerful attack.
A orb of space energy appeared in each hand of Neosman, as he pointed it at D-Nightmare.
"Your time is up, Neosman." D-Nightmare aimed his cannon away from Neosman. He fired several shots around Neosman, each of which created beams of energy to the other shots.
"No, I'm afraid yours is." Neosman said.
A portal opened up beneath Neosman, and he was sucked in. Magma Neos and Marine Neos were pulled into portals as well.
"What was that?" Daniel asked. "The black hole?"
"Not likely." D-Nightmare said.
Suddenly, blades of fire, water, air, earth, dark space, light, and magma hit D-Nightmare from all directions.
Neosman's voice filled the area. "Give up. I can attack you from any direction right now."
"I'll never give up." D-Nightmare said.
"Nice knowing ya then." Neosman said.
"Show yourself, Neosman." Daniel demanded.
"I have. You're just a blind fool...." Neosman said.
The dome enclosed around him completely, and multiple images of Neosman appeared
.
"Duplications?" Daniel asked. "How pathetic..."
"These aren't clones, fool. Merely images. But can you find the real one?" Neosman asked.
"
Why do I need to find the real one of you when I can take all of them out in one shot?!?" D-Nightmare asked.
"Just try it." Neosman said.
"Darkness beyond blackest pitch. Twilight blazing within the confines of my heart. Blaze forth and enable me to destroy my foe. BLACK BLADES OF DISASTER!!"
Two massive swords of black planar material emerged in front of D-Nightmare. He grabbed them with his hands.
The Neo Space dome glowed a bright white.
"Let's make this truly honorable. Dispel your Neo Space, so this can be a fair fight." Daniel said.
"This is a fair fight. Right now you are seeing me." Neosman explained. "This glow is myself combined with the Neo Space."
D-Nightmare dispelled his swords. "I meant that we fight one-on-one. No weapons, no abilities."
The Neos Dome slowly disappeared, and Neosman appeared in front of him as Glow Neos. "Unfortunately, you will have to fight this form. I cannot return to normal until I Log Out."
D-Nightmare nodded. "So be it. Then I shall change to a different form. GENESIS Fusion, Engage."
D-Nightmare was  enveloped in light. When the light dissipated, a new Navi stood in his place. This Navi had the wings of an angel, the fangs and claws of a beast, the eyes of a demon, and the blazing aura of a hero, he held a scythe in one hand and a nasty looking sword in the other hand.
"Ready for round two?" D-Nightmare asked.
"Well, you've changed twice, so..." A dark light enveloped Neosman, as he grew claws on his hands and feet. "I'll combine Glow and Dark Neos."
D-Nightmare threw his scythe to the side. "Then let's end this with our fists."
Neosman raised his fists so the claws were crossed. "Prepare to lose."
D-Nightmare raised his fists in a mirror gesture of Neosman. "I never lose in this form."
"There's a first time for everything." Neosman said.
"True. But I've been ready for this moment." D-Nightmare said.
D-Nightmare moved so quickly that he winked out of existence. He then reappeared behind Neosman, delivering a brutal flurry of punches and kicks to his opponent, but Neosman was gone before he had even reappeared, slashing him twice and disappearing again.
Neosman moved so fast he left after images behind, each of them grinning.
D-Nightmare stopped and casted a spell. "Darkness will be forever merged with light. Your judgment has been brought forth. ETERNAL SHADOWS!!"
The Neos Dome surrounded D-Nightmare once again.
"I thought you said hand-to-hand." Neosman said. "You have broken the rules. You're fate has been sealed. NEOS SPACE JUDGMENT!"

"That isn't the case with my Eternal Twilight move." D-Nightmare explained. "I'm just merely setting the stage so we cannot use any weapons other than our fists. That means we aren't using our claws."
The Neos Space covered the arena and Neosman appeared in front of him, his hands now spears. "It does not matter. The Judgment has been activated, and it shall be delivered."
"There's another twist to the Eternal Twilight move." D-Nightmare explained, waving a finger in the air. "If I go down, you go down too. It's my last ditch move."
Neosman grinned. "Interesting. Too bad it will fail."
Before anyone could blink, Neosman had slashed D-Nightmare with both spears across the chest
.
"You win, Savior of many forms." D-Nightmare said, as the black hole swallowed him.
Neosman blinked in surprise.
"Good match." Daniel said, as the trap door took him. "I have a feeling I'm needed elsewhere, though...."
"What the hell did he mean by that?" Neosman asked, confused.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Break In At Shadow Gallery!
"DAMN IT!" Xel kicked a chair over. "How did V escape?"
"Well he might have gotten away but we did get his address...." John said.
"You did?!?" Xel cried. "Where?!?!"
John pointed to a bit off text on the screen. "These are the coordinates to the place they were re-routing for, wouldn't surprise me if it is made so that Navis can walk around since both the re-route for humans and Navis are the same."
"Can we send a little 'welcome' over to there?" Xel asked.
John nodded. "Yes, Virina and Delete could go there and possibly others."
DJ stepped into the room. "XELLIOUS!!!" he hollered.
"FATHER!" Xel looked like he wanted to run and hide.
"Are you going to kill this V for what he did to my ship?!?!?" DJ growled.
"We're working on it!" Xel cried. "John, SEND EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!"

"VIRINA! PORTALS TO THESE COORDINATES YESTERDAY!" John screamed.
Virina opened the portals that transported Delete V. Final, Mr. Dark Chip, Necronus, P-Man and herself.
"And you 2 are going there to make sure they do their job." Xel said, waving his staff that glowed.
"What?!?" Dora cried.
"Hey wait!" John cried.
But it was too late, Dora & John were transported by Xel to the Shadow Gallery along with the Navis.
But as they arrived, Pearl, Dantz, Zero, Angelman, Alex, Daniel, & D-Nightmare landed on them.
Delete V. Final tried to stab Pearl & Dantz with his tail as Necronus charged his staff for a Data Necromancy and Virina, Mr. Dark Chip and P-Man tried to tiptoe away.
"How dare you defile my home?" Vendetta drew 2 swords and asked the group.
"Where's V?" Mayl asked.
Xel appeared behind the group.
Angelman grabbed Pearl & Dantz and yanked them out of the way.
Necronus now growled and tried to make a new entrance. "DATA NECROMANCY!" he summoned the zombies.
V suddenly came crashing in from a glass window display, landing perfectly and spun around, slashing each zombie before stopping in front of Necronus, pointing his sword at the Navi.
"Your entrance was good, his was better." Xel said to Necronus. "The difference, showmanship."
"We out-number you here." V said.
Necronus summoned more zombies. "No we are not, and the walking tank here isn't easy to beat and.... YOU THREE GET BACK HERE!"
Virina, Mr. Dark Chip, & P-Man ran back to behind Necronus so quickly it was almost as if they teleported.
"How'd we get stuck in this?" John asked.
"Because if you don't do this your father will become VERY angry at you, Young Master John." Necronus said.
"Who the heck is this?" Lan asked.
"
I am Necronus the Navi of Edward Adams who is the leader of the Adams Consortium, one of the strongest criminal organizations in history and the father of John Adams & Dora Adams." Necronus explained.
John & Dora looked like they wanted to be on the other side of the Earth.
"Wait. You guys are evil?!" Jasmine cried.
"I'M NOT!" John screamed with all his might. "It's my dad that's the one with plans of world domination, I only help him if he forces me. I can't speak for my sister, though since she is a little bit....." he spun a finger in a circle next to his head. "You know..."
"Freakishly insane and twisted beyond all reason?" Brandon asked.
"I meant nuts or crazy but that works too." John said.
Dora started to clobber John. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!?"
Meddy sighed. "I believe it after facing her Navi...."
"So why is this guy here now?" Lan asked.
Necronus laughed. "I would think it is obvious why, but I don't expect a 'hero' to be intelligent enough to even be able to know 1+1 becomes 2 so I'm not surprised that you didn't understand."
"This is not going to end well..." John grumbled.
"So are we all up for challenge?" V asked.
"Huh? I wasn't listening...." Blaze said, still stuffing his mouth with food.
Ruth slapped Blaze in the head. "
They'll take you back to that ship and turn you into zombies or kill you!"
"So what do we do?" Haloman asked.
"BEAT THE LIVING HECK OUTTA THEM!" Daniel yelled.
Necronus began giving his orders. "Virina, Mettaur charge. Mr. Dark Chip, close combat. Delete, ranged combat. P-Man, healing and chip relay. GO!"
Virina opened a portal which Mettaurs charged out of trying to trip the others while Mr. Dark Chip activated a Darksword relayed through P-Man and Delete V. Final starts shooting his cannon while the zombies attacked.
Mr. Dark Chip began to charge at Lan.
V blocked and protected Lan. "If you want a fight, villain, fight with me!"
"Um, you may not know, but you guys can Cross Fuse in here." Evey said. "Just put the chip into your PET while you're near your Navi."

"I don't think that will be needed." Megaman said.
Mr. Dark Chip began to clash swords with V as Virina sent a fury of Mettaurs at Evey.
Evey jumped and drew her shield. "V Strike!" a laser shot out at the Mettaurs.
"Oh dear is no where safe?" Ailias asked.
Delete V. Final suddenly came at Ailias, whipping its tail. Ailias jumped back, she held onto an amulet around her neck tightly.
"That amulet...." Rezo said, standing behind Xel. "Sir, did you see it?"
Xel opened his eyes in shock. ".... That's not possible...."
"What's with this mad-house?" Treble asked. "I wish I could use magic like mom."
Elie cracked her knuckles. "You called? DRAGON SLAVE!"
Elie destroyed a whole row of zombies and Mettaurs.
"Nice shot, Elie!" Mr. Blue Nose cried.
Brandon just sat down on the table, confused. "I am so confused."
"GENESIS FORM, ACTIVATE!" D-Nightmare cried.
"HELP!" Ailias cried.
Daven got on his surfboard and caught Ailias. "Need a lift? ICE ORB!" he hurled it at Delete V. Final.
Delete V. Final was hit but came into attacking position again, trying to find a new target.
"
EAT THIS!! MASTER GENESIS CANNON!!" D-Nightmare fired two massive cannons at Delete V. Final.
V slashed through Mr. Dark Chip's sword and kicked the Navi into Delete V. Final. "NOW!" he shouted.
Elie nodded at Jane. "You ready?"
Jane nodded. "Sure am."
Jane closed her eyes as a white light surrounded her body. "Strength of all souls which dwells between chaos and the infinite... Eternal flame of blue.. Hidden strength that slumbers deep within me.. I call you forth here and now.. RA TILT!"
A massive white beam shot out from Jane, as Elie went into her spell.
"Lord of the Darkness and the Four Worlds, I call upon you, grant me all the power that you possess!" Elie's Oni Charms glowed, as she continued to chant her other spells. "Lord of Dreams that Terrify, Sword of the cold dark void, free yourself from the heavens bonds, become oe with my power, one with my body, and let us walk the path of destruction together! Power that can smash even the souls of the Gods! Ragna Blade!"
"Darkness beyond blackest pitch, deeper than the deepest night. King of Darkness who shines like gold upon the Sea of Chaos, I call upon thee, swear myself to thee. Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I possess... GIGA SLAVE!"
 "GIGA RAGNA BLADE!!!!" Elie cried. "PETIT ETHERION!!"
Virina gasped as she, P-Man & Mr. Dark Chip hid in one of her portals.
"COWARDS!!!" Necronus growled, raising his shield.
"You want to see power?" D-Nightmare asked, as a globe of pure energy formed in his hand. "Then you've got it! MOON BLADE REKKOHA MESSENKO!!"
D-Nightmare slammed his hand into the ground, and blades of pure energy shot from the ground, and combined with Elie & Jane's attack.
KA-BOOM! BLAST!!! CRASH!!! The huge explosion destroyed Delete V. Final. Necronus lied on the ground trying to get up after all of that.
"If I can't win....." Necronus said.
"You'll what?" V asked.
Necronus powered up to his ultimate armor and aimed his DoomBlasters at V. "Go all out!!!"
V avoided each one, and spun around.
"Let's take this infernal thing down." Daniel growled. "Dragon of darkness which sleeps in the inferno.. Lend me your roar to burn my enemies to ashes.. GAAV FLARE!"
Daniel hurled the fire blast at Necronus.
Necronus took the blast and flew into a wall but stood up like it was nothing and started shooting and attacking with his three swords.
"
It didn't work?" Alex asked.
V suddenly looked thoughtful. "Ah, I see..... Now I get it...."
"Get what?" Amy asked.
"Miss Inverse, send a spell into my sword!" V said.
"Has he lost it?" Spearman asked.
"JUST DO IT!" V screamed.
"Fine. But you better know what the hell you're doing." Elie huffed, casting another spell. "Darkness beyond twilight, crimson blood that flows, buried in the stream of time where your power flows, I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand, before the mighty gift besotted in my unworthy hands. Dragon Slave!!!"
Elie fired the Dragon Slave at V, which was absorbed into his blade. He then ran at speed of light and slashed Necronus's armored joint between the arm and the sword-staff with the full-charged sword.
Necronus started breaking apart into data. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Is he gone?" Andrew asked.
"It seems so." V said, then pointed a sword at John & Dora.
"Nice work, V." Xel said. "But you'll hear again from me soon."
V stood there. "Why create a lie, Xellious? For another's benefit, or yours? Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover things up."
Xel's eyes widened. "Valerie...." he said under his breath.
V turned. "..... Tell DJ Hellmaster the time is coming soon, I shall destroy him once and for all."
Xel said nothing as he and Rezo teleported out of the area.
"Great, he left us." Dora groaned.
Virina and the others peeked out of her portal, everyone had their weapons on them.
"WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE!" Virina cried.
P-Man & Mr. Dark Chip nodded quickly.
"I'm not sure I can believe you, considering you seemed to know that Navi...." V said, pulling the 3 Navis out of the portal.
"Is the cost clear yet?" Ailias asked.
"Just about." Jacob said.
"...... Did.... Someone.... Break.... In?" Shori asked.
".........." Everyone looked at Shori with a sweatdrop.
"Now, about you idiots...." V said at the 3 Navis.
"I can't believe we trusted you before." ImPal said.
"Necronus is the Navi of our Operator's Dad's Navi!" Virina explained. "Do you have any idea what would have happened to us if we hadn't helped him? And if you didn't notice WE RAN AWAY WHEN WE COULD!"
V held the swords a little lower. "So you must be their Navis....." he pointed his sword to Dora & John.
"Um, then you guys are dead no matter what?" Jane asked.
"
Don't remind us! It's making me want to run back just thinking about the punishments.............." Virina said.
"
Then remain here, you'll be safe here." V said. "Choose your fate, and choose wisely."
"Can we go now?" Brandon asked. "The Riddler over here is giving me a migraine."
V drew a sword in Brandon's face. "I don't remember saying YOU can leave."
"What did I do?" Brandon asked.
"We want to help. Just don't send us near Necronus, we have it forced into us to obey him." Virina said.
V ignored Brandon and nodded at Virina. "Very well then, stay here with you Operators."
"You still haven't answered if we can leave." Lizzie said.
"I have told you time and time again: NO!" V hollered. "You must remain here until my plans have been set into motion, and at least until the rest of your companions have been rescued."
D-Nightmare walked over and slammed his fist into the wall. "Dammit."
"I guess he wants us to stay forever...." Ailias said.
"I could make a way out." D-Nightmare said.
Anthony shook his head. "You don't know if that will work. For all you know, you could cause the the roof to cave in on us."
"Oh god please no...." Koji groaned.
"Then stand aside and let me handle this. V shouldn't pose too much of a challenge against an accomplished swordsman like myself." D-Nightmare said.
Anthony then, without hesitation, uppercut D-Nightmare onto the dining table. "Will you for once stop being an idiot! You are so annoying!"
Andrew grabbed Anthony's arm. "Cease this now. Why don't we let him try his approach?"
"No. Attacking V will probably just get him killed. You idiots need to learn to think before fighting!" Anthony said.
V didn't like this argument one bit. V drew his swords and pointed in all directions. "You behave like children, how is it possible that the world's fate once sat in your hands?"
"Because their stupidity eventually led them to a way to save the world...." Mr. Blue Nose said.
"I find that hard to believe." Ruth said.
"Well it's true." Soldierman said.
"Fine then just let me kick the snot out of Keith first. I've been itching to do that." Daniel said.
"What the hell did I do now to tick him off?" Keith asked.
"I need a challenge that's worth my time. I'm outta here. No one here's worth my time or energy." Daniel said.
V drew his sword at Daniel. "You WILL remain here. I will not have a bunch of bumbling morons like you ruining my plans."
Daniel sneered. "You can't keep me locked up, masked man."
"We'll soon see." V said, then turned. "I must be off now to find more clues on this tournament. The sooner I find a way to stop the battles, the sooner you can all leave."
"
You know, this sounds a lot like some sort of Prison-but-not-prison things. We can stay and have what we need but we can't leave." Virina pointed out.
"Didn't we already explain this?" V sighed.
"Still sounds like a prison sentence for our own good." Virina said.
"
Would you rather face that Navi you ran from?" Vendetta asked.
Virina, Mr. Dark Chip, & P-Man looked at each other and didn't answer.
Megaman was bent over Roll, who still was in a coma-like state.
".........." Megaman held his hand on hers. ".... Roll..... Hold on, we'll get your Rank #1 back...."
Roll's body was still purple, her Navi Symbol cracked.
"..... Roll.... It can't end like this...." Megaman said. "You have to pull out of this...."
"Oh by the way Ruth is cooking some more for you guys." V said.
"Do I smell food?" Dora asked.
"TAKE COVER!" John jumped behind a desk.
Ruth came out with new plates of food. "I made some more with the new arrivals."
Dora started eating so fast she was wrecking the table.
"Um, you need not eat that fast, there's more." Ruth said.
"Do you mean it?" Dora asked.
"Please tell her you're lying..." John said.
"Ruth doesn't like to lie...." Evey explained.
"Sure, I'll bring it out." Ruth said.
But Dora was now searching everywhere for more food, wrecking stuff in the process.
"You wouldn't happen to have a tranquilizer do you?" John asked with a sweatdrop on his head.

Chapter Fourty: Free For All! The Secret of Spotty's Compass?
Spotty, JD, Leo, Ryan, Mina & Amber entered the battle arena.
"This day just keeps getting stranger..." Spotty remarked.
"So it's 3 on 3?" JD asked, counting the number of people present.
"Nope, 4 on 4." said Deimosman inside the compt.
"Hello." Cinnamon bowed.
The Operators plugged in their PETs.
"So let's get this show on the road." Chainsawman said.
"Who's against who?" Genial asked. "Not that I care."
"Okay, how about moron Spotty here, me, Cinnamon & JD on this side?" Deimosman asked.
"I'm NOT A MORON!" Spotty hollered.
"Then why do you act like one most of the time?" Deimosman asked.
"I don't like this guy..." Bugger growled.
"I really could care less about the line-up." Leo said.
"Same here." Ryan shook his head. "I just want to win."
"Can we keep the verbal fighting to a minimal?" Mina asked.
"I highly doubt it." Gallantman said.
"Well let's get this show on the road!" NintendoMan cried.
"I agree." Chainsawman said, opening the slots on his shoulders, shooting out discs.
"Wide Blade, Battle Chip in." Spotty threw a chip into his PET.
SLASH! Bugger cut through the discs.
"Gallant Blade!" Gallantman charged in and clashed with Chainsawman's chainsaw.
Genial had been charging her buster, it changed color to red. "Mega Plasma Cannon!" she fired it at Cinnamon.
"Force Metal Chip: Barrier!" Cinnamon created a Force Metal Chip and used it quickly, creating a barrier.
"Maria Cyber Bot G, Navi Summon Chip in!" Ryan threw a chip into his PET.
A girl Navi in a white and red suit with green hair appeared. "I'm the Ultra Galactic Cyber Bot G!"
"What the hell?" Leo asked with a sweatdrop on his head. "Where do you get those things?"
"Don't ask...." Ryan said, laughing a little.
"Excuse me, and sorry since I don't like to hurt girls." Gallantman said, breaking contact with Chainsawman and aiming his sword at Maria.
Maria caught Gallantman's sword with one hand. "HAW!" she flipped Gallantman into the air and kicked him to the side.
"Wow, she's good." Bugger said.
"Want to see how good?" Maria asked, kicking Bugger in the stomach, she then plunged her fist through his chest and threw Bugger into Cinnamon.
"Ugh....." Bugger groaned, pieces of his data spread around. "That chick's tougher than she looks."
Deimosman came over to Bugger. "Hang on, friend. Power of the sun, grant me the strength to save my ally. IRIDESCENT GAZE!!"
Deimosman opened his eyes. A wave of healing power washed over Bugger, healing his wound.
Chainsawman was leaping out now, his twin chainsaws blazing.
"Deimos-Saber!!" Deimosman got his saber ready.
CLASH! Chainsawman tried to force his chainsaws through Deimosman's saber.
"GBA SHOOTER!" NintendoMan started shooting games at the group.
Bugger leapt to his feet. "I need a weapon."
"Force Metal Chip: Super Blade!" Cinnamon held out her hands, she created a chip.
Bugger snatched the chip and used it, a large blade replaced his hand.
"Thanks lass." Bugger said, slashing through the GBA Games.
"DS SHOOTER!" NintendoMan now was shooting DS Games.
SLASH! Bugger slashed through each one with ease.
"Imperious Glare!!!" Deimosman cried.
Chainsawman froze in place. Deimosman slashed him and kicked Chainsawman to the side.
"Plasma Gatling Gun!" Genial now stepped in, her arm changing into a cannon that fired multiple rounds.
Gallantman slashed through the shots with Bugger.
A few orbs appeared in Sehairal's hands, she threw them at Bugger & Gallantman. The orbs exploded in their faces.
"Now!" Mina turned to Amber.
"Solar Charge Blaster!" Genial fired a massive charge of energy from her cannon.
BOOM! BLAST! Gallantman & Bugger were both hit hard.
"Cinnamon, you hurry and heal them." Deimosman said.
Cinnamon nodded, but Maria was in the way.
"Un-oh." Cinnamon said.
Maria tackled Cinnamon and threw her across the area.
"Imperious Glare!" Deimosman cried.
But it didn't effect Maria, who tackled Deimosman, lifted him over her head, and threw him into Cinnamon.
"We're winning!" Amber cried. "Isn't that swell?"
Leo & Ryan looked at Amber with sweatdrops on their heads.
"Chainsawman, if you please." NintendoMan said. "Finish them off!"
"YAHOO!" Chainsawman charged in, ready to attack.
"DEATH CANNON!" a blast knocked Chainsawman out of the way.
"What the?" Bugger asked.
Another blast hit Maria, Cinnamon got through now and healed the group.
"........ It can't be......" Chainsawman said.
Deathman stood where the shot came from. "Miss me?" he asked.
"IT'S NOT POSSIBLE!!!" Chainsawman growled.
"Why is it that the bad guys rarely die?" Leo asked.
"Oh not him again....." Spotty groaned.
Chainsawman leapt to his feet. "Hyper Beam!" he fired a beam at Deathman.
"This is hardly a stage worth our fight." Deathman said. "Shall we go elsewhere?"
"You can run to the ends of the Earth for all I care!" Leo growled.
"Fine, follow me." Deathman said, making a gesture at Chainsawman before jumping through a portal in the Net.
"YOU BET I WILL!" Chainsawman growled, following Deathman.
"Hey what about the battle?" Ryan asked.
"Sorry, personal business." Leo said, running out of the battle arena.
"Can he do that?" Mina asked.
"I guess so." Spotty said.
"Well that's one down." Deimosman said.
"Un, where were we?" Amber asked.
Then she looked. Bugger & Gallantman had their swords pointed at both Genial & Sehairal.
"You let your guard down." JD said.
Maria tackled Bugger & Gallantman, she then grabbed them both and flung them into the air.
"Bugger, forgot about her...." Spotty grumbled.
"Super Scope 6!" NintendoMan cried, as a gun appeared in his arms.
Deimosman charged in with his saber.
NintendoMan fired the gun, Deimosman avoided it and stabbed NintendoMan.
"Force Metal Chip: Hyper Vulcan!" Cinnamon created another Force Metal Chip and used it right away. Her hand turned into a vulcan cannon and she fired a few rounds at NintendoMan.
Maria slammed into Cinnamon while she was firing, causing some of the shots to hit Maria as well.
"Time to end this." Deimosman said. "SHINING DEIMOS SABER!!"
Deimosman's sword glowed with holy light. Deimosman then ran forward and delivered a devastating slash to Maria & NintendoMan.
Maria was deleted and NintendoMan was taken by the black hole.
"Shoot.... I DON'T WANNA DIE!" Ryan jumped on top of the Net Battling Machine. "I DON'T WANNA FALL THROUGH A TRAP DOOR!!! I'M SCARED OF HEIGHTS!!! "
"What the bloody hell?" Spotty asked.
"I DON'T WANNA DIE!!! THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS TO THE LOSERS, THEY DIE! I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!" Ryan screamed.
"What the heck?!?" JD asked, a major sweatdrop on his head.
"I think so..... They didn't come back..... I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!" Ryan continued to scream.
"
Well, sorry buddy." Xel appeared and knocked Ryan down with his staff. "Good luck on not dying."
The trap door opened as Ryan fell to the ground, screaming the whole way,
Spotty's eyes widened. "Xellious Noon.........."
Xel turned, a sick smile on his face. "Black Spotty, it's been far too long."
"You know this creep?" JD asked.
"Creep?" Xel growled.
"Unfortunately, yes." Spotty growled. "This bozo is Black Heart's older brother...."
"What?!?" Deimosman cried.
"Who?" Amber asked.
"Not a fact I'm proud of, need I remind you?" Xel asked.
"What game are you up to now?" Spotty asked.
"Oh, just cleaning up a few things, which reminds me I need that compass I gave you back." Xel said.
"Not until you tell me where Elie and the others are." Spotty said.
"Oh don't worry, they're safe." Xel said. "For now...."
"Like I can believe your crap?" Spotty asked.
"Hey, come on, have I ever given you a reason to not trust me?" Xel asked.
"Need I make a list?" Spotty asked.
"Fine, I'll just take it." Xel held out a hand, the compass teleported from Spotty's belt and into Xel's hand.
"You....." Spotty growled.
"Ah good, now I have the last piece." Xel said. "If you want to see your wife and kids, just head down the trap door." he teleported out of sight.
"What did he mean by that?" Cinnamon asked.
"......... He didn't.........." Spotty said.
"Spotty! Snap to!" Bugger yelled.
Genial & Sehairal were still trying to fight.
"Healing Orb!" Sehairal gave to Genial, healing her.
"There's 4 of us and 2 of them." Deimosman said.
"Solar Charge Blaster!!!" Genial fired at the group.
"And they have a mega laser!!!" Bugger ducked.
"So?" Deimosman slashed through the shot.
"Bugger." Spotty said. "It's time."
Bugger looked up, confused. "What's up, Spotty?"
"I think you know...." Spotty said.
Bugger sighed, then nodded. "CYBER KRACKEN BEAST OUT!"
Bugger grew larger tentacles and an orb on his head. He leapt out, attacking Genial & Sehairal furiously.
"KRACKEN BEAM!" Bugger fired.
BLAST! Genial & Sehairal were knocked out in a matter of seconds. They were both taken by the black hole as the trap doors took Amber & Genial.
"Now!" Spotty cried.
Bugger expelled the rest of his energy from the Beast Out and collapsed. He was taken by the black hole.
"See ya, mates." Spotty fell down the trap door.
"Did he plan that?" Cinnamon asked.
".... There's more to this than he's letting on...." Deimosman said.

Ryan landed on the dinning table. "Where the heck am I now?"
"Oh, come to join us?" Brandon asked, everyone seemed used to new people showing up by now.
Amber & Genial landed next. Along with NintendoMan, Sehairal, & Mina.
"Oh more guests?" Ruth asked.
"We're filling up fast." Evey said.
"Yeah, aren't you guys running out of room?" Anthony asked.
"Hey.... Something's wrong with my PET...." Treble said.
"Hmmm? What is Treble?" Elie asked.
Treble held up his PET. The back looked like a compartment had been opened.
"Hey, the same is on mine too." Jane said, holding hers up.
Data & Beat looked at each other. Elie caught them in the corner of her eye.
"All right, what other secret is going on here?" Elie asked.
"What gave you that idea?" Data asked, shaking a little.
"Because I'm tired of your damn games." Elie growled. "Once I see Spotty next, I'm gonna....."
As soon as Elie spoke, Spotty & Bugger landed on the table with a thud.
"Speak of the devil, here he is." Lan said, pointing to Spotty.
"What was that about doing something to him?" Axl asked.
Spotty gulped. "Heh, un, what did I do?"
Elie's eye twitched. "What.... Did...... You..... DO?!?" she hurled a fireball at Spotty.
Everyone cleared from the table, grabbing their plates before the fireball hit, exploding a firestorm onto Spotty's body.
"Something tells me you're mad...." Spotty said.
"No, I'm beyond mad...." Elie growled. "I'm severely ticked off beyond reason!!!!"
Spotty looked around. "What?!?"
"How about for starters, not telling me I had a sister?!?" Treble yelled.
"Oh yeah, that." Spotty said, as he coughed on a puff of smoke.
"What, did it just empty out of your tiny head like everything else?!?" Elie barked.
"No, I just didn't tell you because I don't know where his sister is." Spotty said.
"Well that's the one." Elie said, pointing to Jane.
Spotty turned. "Oh, you figured that out?" he had a huge sweatdrop on his head.
"You figured it out as soon as Dr. Cain said he was her grandfather, so don't give me this crap." Elie barked.
"...... I........" Spotty didn't seem to know what to say.
"In your effort to protect us, you made it worse." Treble said.
"Tweet." Beat said.
"Did you download the information from Beat?" Spotty asked.
"Yeah, I figured that part out." Elie said. "But I couldn't get the rest because a file is corrupted."
"What's with these compartments in the back of our PETs?" Jane asked.
Spotty's jaw dropped. "Oh bugger, he wasn't kidding..."
"WHO wasn't kidding?" Elie asked.
"Xellious. He took out the pieces of that key of his...." Spotty said.
"The Key of Time?" Mr. Blue Nose asked. "That's where you hid it?!?"
"It was the only place I could think of." Spotty said.
"I'm starting to remember a little more of the past now." Elie said. "This Xellious, he's Black Heart's brother and he came to warn us about her, right? And he gave you the compass, he told you that it will point to the thing you want most in this world."
Spotty nodded. "Yeah, and he did something else...."
Elie tilted her head. "What else?"
Spotty sighed. "I guess that was the part that was corrupted.... Elie, back when you were Lina..... He was the one who married us....."

Chapter Fourty-One: The Final Round
Black Heart entered the stadium, along with JD.
"You're it?" Black Heart asked.
"Not quite, witch." Deimosman said.
"Oh boy." Yuna said.
"Hi." Cinnamon said.
"...." Neosman didn't say anything.
Edward finally appeared in the stadium. He turned to is PET. Data slowly joined together and new is added causing the data to form into Necronus.
Necronus groaned. "Urggh... Sometimes I just want you too fix that weak spot instead of having this system Edward..."
"You know as well as I do that this is much better Necronus, now get ready to go to the tournament again." Edward said.
"Necronus?" Black Heart turned to Edward. "Do I know you?"
Edward smiled. "You've grown, Black Heart. It's been a very long time, hasn't it?"
"And you are?" Black Heart asked.
"Edward Adams, friend of your father." Edward said.
"Oh, so dad's old pals are getting in on this?" Black Heart asked.
"Are we all that's left?" JD asked.
"You're looking at it, kid." Elnar said.
"No, there's 1 more." Edward said. "Otherwise we are un-even."
"We're un-even with Yuna's team alone." Black Heart pointed out.
"Ah, but all those Navis count as one." Edward said.
A girl with long brown hair stepped in, she wore a purple vest with a blue shirt, black pants, black shoes, a red and white cap, and she wore glasses.
"Is this the place?" she asked, stepping in. "The name's Kathryn."
"There's our 1 more." Deimosman said.
Xel stepped into the stadium. "Well, you've all made it this far..." he said, twirling his staff. "But it all ends here, in a free for all battle."
"Xel..." Black Heart grinned her teeth.
"Nice to see you too, sis." Xel grumbled.
Everyone plugged in their PETs. Necronus & Gallantman appeared. Rezo appeared on the side. A mid sized, purple mouse-like Navi appeared. It had blue cheeks and a lighting bolt tail.
"I'm Purplechu." the Navi said.
"Glad to see you're back after that bit at the Shadow Gallery." Xel said to Necronus.
"
Got resurrected and came back. And I'm a bit MAD AT SOME PEOPLE." Necronus growled.
"Why are you mad at me?" Xel asked.
"Not you." Necronus said. "At the TRAITORS AND WANNABE HEROES!!"
Black Heart transferred out of her Copybot body and into the machine.
"Let's get this show on the road." Black Heart said.
"Oh sword of the Lord of Nightmares, bring to thee the power of your off-spring.... DARKNESS SWORD OF DESTRUCTION!" a powerful black blade appeared in Black Heart's hands.
"That doesn't impress me." Neosman said.
"DATA NECROMANCY!" Necronus summoned the zombies.
"Gallant Blade!" Gallantman slashed through the zombies.
"Light come fourth!" Yuna called fourth the Sword of Light, wielding the sword in her hands. "Erina, fuse with me!"
Erina nodded and combined with Yuna, as two large vulcan cannons appeared on Yuna's shoulders. Yuna took to the sky and attacked.
Cinnamon tried to hurry and make a few Force Metal Chips.
Black Heart roared through the group, she slashed through Gallantman and worked her way to Deimosman.
"SHINING DEIMOS SABER!!" Deimosman's sword glowed with holy light. He clashed it with Black Heart's blade.
Purplechu jumped into action, throwing the zombies with its powers to the side.
"Data Necromancy!" more zombies appeared.
Gallantman pulled himself up from Black Heart's attack.
Xel watched the battle with interest.
"Shall I intervene, sir?" Rezo asked.
Xel shook his head. "Not yet."
Yuna flew down and attack Necronus, who seemed unaffected from Yuna's attack by her vulcan cannons.
The blasters on Necronus's arms aimed towards Yuna, firing and knocking her out of the sky.
"Force Metal Chip: Ultra Geddon!" Cinnamon created a new chip, then used it.
The floor changed suddenly to a dark purple, zapping the energy of the zombies.
"Little girl, you are an annoyance." Necronus said, nodding his head at Black Heart.
Black Heart backflipped from Deimosman, as Necronus fired his blasters at the Navi. Black Heart now turned to Cinnamon.
"Darkness beyond the twilight, blood that flows through me, King of Darkness who rules over chaos.... Bring your powers to thy unworthy hands.... DARKNESS DRAGON SLAVE!!!"
Black Heart hurled what looked like a darker Dragon Slave at Cinnamon.
"Cinnamon look out!" Gallantman threw himself in the way, taking most of the blast, but he and Cinnamon were both hit.
"Darkness beyond the blackest pitch, deeper then the night, Lord of Darkness, hear my plea, and destroy those who stand before me! DARKNESS GIGA SLAVE!!!"
Black Heart hurled another spell, this one looked like a Giga Slave at the 2 fallen Navis. But Rezo waved his hand and the black hole appeared and took them.
"Oh well, so much for that." JD said as he fell down the trap door.
"You took them!" Black Heart hissed.
"Why should you care how they die?" Rezo asked.
"You stay out of my fights." Black Heart snapped.
"Then you should have stayed out of my tournament." Xel replied.
Neosman turned to Deimosman. "I'll handle the zombie summoner, you handle the witch. Neos Triangle!"
Necronus was engulfed in a tornado of rock, wind, and light.
Deimosman turned. "Your tricks won't work against me, witch."
Black Heart sneered, she held her sword high. "Fine, then I shall show you my new power."
"Open! Gates of Tenguu! I hereby free the power that fills our three worlds."
A large circle of black light surrounded Black Heart.
"Oh great possessors of magic, I beseech you. Answer my plea and break the seal of this ancient race. Allow this succession."
Black sparks emerged from
Black Heart's body, her sword changed shape, it now had a fancy black handle with red and purple gems on it.
"Those who have fought seven lives on the battlefield.... ... Accept this divine succession."
Black flames surrounded
Black Heart, appearing to be flying in and out of her body.
"You, the King of Destroyers. You, who turn the wheel of destiny.... ... In the changing world. Here, I allow the birth of new destruction."
A huge explosion covered
Black Heart, as a burst of black energy slammed down onto her. Black Heart emerged from the explosion, wielding her new sword in her hands, black flames surrounding her.
Deimosman stood there, not moving. "Well, are we done with the show? You're boring me."
Black Heart slowly stood up, there was a crater were she stood. Black sparks appeared in her hands, which filled her sword. "You wish to meet your end so badly?" she said in a much deeper voice than before.
"Very well, you shall be ashes!" Black Heart sent a shockwave of darkness at Deimosman.
Deimosman slashed through the shockwave with his sword. "That's it?" he asked.
"Insolent fool....." Black Heart said. "Your pathetic human body does not deserve to be killed by my Shura Sword...."
"You're the one insolent and fool..." Deimosman said.
Neosman fired an orb of space energy at Necronus, who broke free of the tornado.
"Time to upgrade." Necronus's blasters increased in size, he fired rapidly and hit Neosman in the head.
"AHHH! Oh, you're going to pay for that." Neosman said.
Yuna turned to her Navi friends. "Let's form Elline."
The rest nodded. "ELLINE ONLINE!" they formed together.
"Now it's getting interesting." Xel said.
"Necro Blast!" Necronus fired at Elline while trying to deal with Neosman.
"Judgment of Demons!" Deimosman charged at Black Heart.
"You idiot." Black Heart blocked Deimosman with the Shura Sword, she slashed the Navi several times before sending Deimosman crashing back, and then launched a spell.
"Lord of the Darkness and the Four Worlds, I call upon you, grant me all the power that you possess!" Black Heart chanted, her body glowing.
"Lord of Dreams that Terrify, Sword of the cold dark void, free yourself from the heavens bonds, become one with my power, one with my body, and let us walk the path of destruction together! Power that can smash even the souls of the Gods... RAGNA BLADE!"
Black Heart grabbed the Ragna Blade and fused it together with her Shura Sword.
“Darkness beyond blackest pitch... Deeper then the deepest night.. King of Darkness who shines like gold on the sea of chaos.. I call upon thee, swear myself to thee.. Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I possess.. GIGA SLAVE!”
The Giga Slave surrounded the Shura Sword, empowering it even more.
"Here I go!"
Black Heart shouted, hurling the massive blast of energy at Deimosman. "GIGA RAGNA SHURA BLADE!"
"Elline Blaster Final Strike!" Elline fired its huge laser, guided by Purplechu's power, trying to destroy Black Heart's attack before it could delete Deimosman.
KA-BOOM! The attacks collided with Black Heart, Deimosman, Elline, and Purplechu got caught it the blasts.
Black Heart slowly pulled herself up.
“Blessed, humble hand of God.. Breath of Mother Earth.. I pray thee come before me.. Show your great compassion to this person and deliver them.. RECOVERY!” she healed herself. 
Deimosman appeared defeated, Elline split back into the six Navis, Purplechu seemed defeated as well.
"Now you will all die!" Black Heart growled, large flames surrounded her. "Great goddess of darkness, lord of which power comes from the deepest of darkest souls, grant me your power, grant me your strength, lend me thy power as if thee were thy own, and destroy all those who oppose us! Caliptic Nightmare!"
A new spell emerged. A space portal surrounded her as it exploded into a massive shockwave and then turned into a charge of power, that hit everyone in the battle net. Black Heart seemed to had used all her magic up, as she collapsed after using the spell.
"Is it over?" Rezo asked.
"I think so, get the final piece from her." Xel ordered.
Rezo ran over to Black Heart and grabbed one of her amulets. He placed it on a small key that he was holding.
"The Key of Time is complete. At last." Xel said.
But suddenly, Neosman came to and snatched the key from Rezo. "So this is what it's been all about?"
"You're alive?" Rezo asked.
"I used a space portal to avoid the attack." Neosman said.
"You fool, give that thing back to me." Rezo said. "You have no idea what this is about."
"How about you start explaining?" Neosman asked.
"There's no time!" Xel cried.
Deimosman came up behind Rezo, pointing his sword. "Find the time."
But then Necronus leapt up, blasted Neosman from behind, then in the face, punched Rezo and took the key. He blasted Deimosman on the way.
"Thank you." Necronus said, lifting Black Heart over his shoulder. "Now we have the final part DJ Hellmaster needs." he Naviported out.
Edward used the trap door to escape.
"Dammit." Xel cursed.
"What the?" Kathryn asked.
"You let him get away!!!" Rezo grabbed Neosman.
"What?!?" Neosman cried. "What is this? I thought you guys were on the same side!"
"NO YOU MORON!" Xel screamed. "I was working with them so that they DIDN'T get the key, and now because of you they did!"
"Because of me?!?" Neosman growled.
"You and that moron." Rezo pointed to Deimosman. "You gave Necronus the opening to steal the key."
"I did this whole tournament to bring together the pieces to keep them away from my father!" Xel explained. "That's why I let V reprogram the trap doors. Who do you think told that crazy masked idiot where to go? I just had to keep up appearance in front of everyone."
"So wait.... All this time, you've been on our side?" Elnar asked.
Xel nodded. "Of course, I've been planning on a way to stop my father's doing."
"Now we have to hurry." Rezo said. "They will most likely be itching to use it."
"What does that thing do?" Neosman asked.
"It's a time portal device, if used properly...." Xel said. "In the Net, it can be used to revive Navis, and take over the entire Net, rewrite its entire code, if used in the area called Secret....."

Chapter Fourty-Two: Ailias's Secret? Return to the UnderNet!
Xel appeared in the Shadow Gallery, along with the others.
"YOU?!?" Daniel leapt into action, aiming a punch at Xel.
"Hold it, Daniel." Deimosman halted Daniel. "He's on our side."
"How can you say that after everything he's done?!?" Brandon growled.
"I see things did not go as planned...." Vendetta said.
"No, thanks to a certain bunch of morons...." Xel grumbled, he glared at Neosman in the corner of his eye.
"Why did you do this?" Lan asked.
Xel sighed. "It was the only way to stop my father, he was after all of you, strong battlers such as yourselves he would want as part of his crew.... He got onto me faster than I thought, thankfully V was able to rescue you, along with the help of Miss Inverse."
Elie stepped up to Xel. "To tell the truth, I don't remember much of you..." she said, arching an eyebrow.
"Dying does pay a toll on the memory, doesn't it?" Xel asked.
"Only when a certain SOMEONE erases the memory...." Elie glared at Spotty.
"But what about Roll?" Megaman asked. "What did you do to her?"
"Rezo." Xel held out his PET, Rezo appeared.
Rezo came over to Roll, and held something over her Navi Symbol. "I think it's time I returned this...." he placed the Rank #1 back into Roll's body.
Roll's color returned to normal, she slowly opened her eyes.
Megaman gasped. "Roll?" he asked, his voice full of hope.
Roll blinked twice. "M-M-Mega....?" she asked weakly.
Megaman's eyes filled with tears of joy, he hugged Roll tightly.
"She's alive!" Mayl cried.
"I thought you had...." Megaman's words trailed off.
Roll pulled herself together and kissed Megaman.
"Sorry about that, but I knew if I didn't remove Rank #1 when I did, my father would had gotten a hold of it." Xel explained. "Rezo's been protecting it this whole time."
"She could have died!" Dennis pointed out. "And she almost did!"
"Not quite." Xel waved his finger. "I placed a magical barrier on her, to hold her data together, but barely. She just appeared to be dying."
V quietly approached Xel. "So the time has come? The villains of darkness have returned to their place of origin?"
"Val, you need to lay off the riddles..." Xel groaned.
"Val?" Elie asked, arching her eyebrow again. A suddenly flash entered her mind. "Wasn't that the nickname for your sister?"
"Oh you remember." Xel said, smiling. "Yes, Elie. The older sister Valerie who supposedly died in the fire when the Reaper's Revenge crashed into the Black Refractor. Valerie had planned it with you & Spotty. You attacked with your ship, the Queen of Darkness."
Elie held her head. "I don't remember that much..." she sighed.
"Oh, anyhow, my father found out and made sure Valerie was going to die, as she got caught while trying to save the prisoners of the ship." Xel said. "And here she stands today." he held a hand out, pointing at V.
"Valerie... That girl who was supposed to be dead in that incident." Elie said surprised. "And I thought she was definitively a man... How did you figure it out, Xel?"
V's head tilted. "Yes, what proof do you have to support this theory of yours?"
"Valerie, I know it's you." Xel said. "I figured it out long ago, with how could you know all about father's ship, his moves, his strategy, plus V said 'he' had been in a fire, but most of all, when you said, 'Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover things up.' That was YOUR saying. No one else knew that but myself and our father."
V just turned. "I am sorry, your sister is dead." V answered, turning 'her' head to Xel. "I am V, born from her ashes and I shall avenge her death, as well as all the others."
V walked off, Ruth looked worried for a moment, then followed her.
"Then Valerie.... She was the one...." Elie said, remembering the picture in the small room filled with roses, another flash came through her mind. "......."
"So she got badly burned?" Brandon asked.
"I think that was a given...." Andrew said.
"I see... The reason of why she wants revenge must be connected with what happened to her..." Elie said, rubbing her left temple, as these flash backs were getting annoying.
"My guess is she's distanced herself from her past, I guess it's the only way she's survived all this time...." Spotty said.
"I can see..." Elie lowered her head for a moment. "No one would be able to continue to live with the memory of a tragedy like this in mind..."
"Considering how sweet Valerie used to be...." Xel punched the wall. "My father turned her into a monster....."
"That bastard... No wonder Daniel swore that he'd cut down DJ." Andrew said.
"Yeah but that's normal for Daniel...." Brandon groaned.
"He'll pay for that. And if Daniel won't manage to do it, I'll tear him apart myself." Elie clenched her fists.
"Speaking of Daniel, where is he?" Koji asked.
Everyone looked around. "Oh bugger....."

Daniel followed V into another room, but as he entered V was gone. Before Daniel could speak, a sword appeared under his throat, V was holding the blade firmly.
"You dare to enter without my permission?" V asked, in an annoyed tone.
"I don't care who you are, V. DJ's life ends by my hands!" Daniel declared.
V just turned. "Your vengeance is far too rash, and you make stupid moves by it. You rely too much on your power when it will fail you one day, bah, I'm not going to bother with you as it would be a waste of my effort. My power comes from my ideals, and my ideals, are bulletproof." V started walking. "I suggest for your own good to stay out of the way of my vendetta, or you shall become my enemy."
"You may think you're unbeatable, V, but I beg to differ! You have no idea who you're messing with." Daniel said.
"In all honestly I couldn't give a damn." V replied. "But you should know that I'm not human, at least not anymore. I've been genetically altered in an experiment years ago. I am nor male or female, I have the abilities of both and strengths of both. And I told you before, I have no name, you just my call me V. And I will avenge those that DJ has tortured and imprisoned. I shall avenge Valerie, who died that horrid day and thus the day I was born, from her ashes...."
Elie walked over to them, she really seemed annoyed by this whole arrangement, actually the whole day at that. "Can you do your god damn bickering another time as we should try to stop DJ and fight about who gets to kill him later?" she asked.
V nodded. "Yes, I agree."
V, Elie, & Daniel stepped back into the main room, Ruth had set up a computer with a large screen.
"Everyone, Jack In your Navis." Ruth said. "This will send them straight to the UnderNet...."
"But only Ranked Navis can enter Secret...." Lan said.
"I have a feeling we won't have to worry about that." Xel said. "If my father used the Key of Time, it opens the gate of Secret, and leaves it open...."
"Serenade...." Roll said in a worried voice.
"Then she could be in trouble!" Megaman cried.
Everyone jacked in their PETs. The Solo Navis transported into the machine. Everyone appeared in the UnderNet, and surely enough, there was a large portal there, where the entrance of Secret once was.
"Lord S could be in danger..." Gateman said.
"I doubt it, anyone who'd be stupid enough to mess with Kage, I'd feel sorry for." ImPal said.
Everyone stepped into the portal, entering Secret.

............. Or was it? The area was a war-zone, completely destroyed.
"What happened here?!?" Ailias cried.
"You don't think that...." Daven said.
"No, Lord S couldn't have been beaten...." Angelman said.
"Um, look at the destruction...." Spearman said.
Suddenly, what appeared to be a data version of the Reaper's Revenge floated above them. It was heading for the Recycle Area.
A Navi covered in green fur tackled Rezo, she hissed as she was ready to take the Navi's head off. "YOU DARE TO ATTACK THE AREA OF SECRET?!?"
"Gaki, stop!!!!" Roll cried, pulling the green-furred Navi off. "It's okay, he's with us."
Gaki brushed off her shoulders. "Where the hell have you guys been? It's been a war between these weirdoes."
"Is Lord S...." Gateman said.
"I lost track of her during the battle." Gaki answered.
"So the Reaper's Revenge attacked here?" Megaman asked.
"There was only me & Kage here to protect Lord S...." Gaki said. "We weren't enough...."
"That does it..." Elie cracked her knuckles. "This bastard is mine!"
"We better hurry to the Recycle Area...." Rezo said.
"But how can we get there?" Unick asked.
"Yeah, after all the Black Refractor's program can't get here right now...." Bugger said. "It'll take too long to download."
Suddenly, an Asian-looking ship hovered above them. The ship had red sails on it, and a Navi stood on the deck. The Navi was in a samurai outfit.
"ChowChow!" Gaki cried.
"Who?" Megaman asked.
"His Operator was Yamatoman's." Gaki explained.
"Yamatoman had an Operator?" Lan asked.
"It seems a lot of them have Operators...." Chaud said.
ChowChow bowed. "Hurry, come aboard the Tsunami."
"The wha?" ImPal asked.
"Looks cool." Daven said.
The group all looked at each other and board the Tsunami. The ship sailed to the Recycle Area in a hurry.
"So what does DJ want there anyhow?" Paladinman asked.
"Devil Master has the power to resurrect deleted Navis...." Rezo explained. "He does this by collecting small pieces of data and fusing them together."
"Explains how I came back." Spider said.
ImPal gave Spider a glare. "Yeah, it does."
"But, he can't resurrect a Navi that is either too complex, or fully deleted." Rezo said. "The Key of Time was a part of his data that I & Master Xellious sealed, so that he wouldn't be as powerful."
"So what does he want in there?" Megaman asked.
"To revive the most powerful Navis in there, and the rest of the Navis of Darkness." Xel explained.
"Like.... Bass & Sigma?" Roll asked.
Xel nodded. "Correct."
"Oh boy." Lan gulped.
The Tsunami set off, everyone took their places on the ship.
Roll looked out on deck, Megaman came up to her.
"..... I hope Serenade's okay...." Roll said.
"You know her, she can take care of herself..." Megaman said. "It's you I'm worried about...."
"The Rank #1 is back inside of me..." Roll said.
"Not that..." Megaman said. ".... I could have lost you back there, Roll.... And well, it got me thinking..... If by some crazy chance we actually survive this.... I really just want you to know that I...."
Roll placed a finger on Megaman's lips. "You don't have to say it, because I know.... And, we'll make it through this, together. I know it."

The Tsunami came up to where the Reaper's Revenge was, Devil Master was standing out, with the data version of the Key of Time.
"Stop right there!" Elie hurled a fireball at Devil Master.
Black Heart threw a fireball and countered, the two exploded.
"Now, now, Inverse...." Black Heart said. "STAY OUT OF THIS!"
"Take your own damn advice, witch!" Elie barked.
Ailias looked uneasy and not very well.
"Ailias, you really don't look well." Paladinman said.
"Don't worry about it...." Ailias said.
"Now, Key of Time...." Devil Master held the key up, as it flashed. "Revive those of the UnderNet.... The darkest beings of the Net...."
"Oh hell no!" Elie growled. "Darkness beyond twilight, crimson blood that flows, buried in the stream of time where your power flows, I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand, before the mighty gift besotted in my unworthy hands. Dragon Slave!" Elie hurled the Dragon Slave at Devil Master.
BLAST! The hit knocked the key out of Devil Master's hands, but the spell was already in effect. A large explosion rocked the area, as bursts of light shot out from the hole in the center.
"It's starting!" Gaki cried.
Black Navis started rising out of the Recycle Area, appearing on both the Reaper's Revenge & the Tsunami. Some of the Navis of Darkness appeared, like Bit, Byte, Mega Man Juno, Agile, Serges, Dr. Psyche, Violen, & Deviman.
"Well, it's good to be back." Deviman said.
"YES! We are one!" Bit & Byte cried, fusing together.
"Ready?" Juno asked.
"Un-oh." Megaman said.
"The Key of Time also can be used as a weapon...." Black Heart explained, picking the key up. She held it out with both hands, the center glowed as it fired a massive blast of energy at the Tsunami.
"Look out!" Roll cried.

***********************************

But the blast didn't come, instead the blast was reflected, and blew a hole in the Reaper's Revenge.
A Navi stood where the blast should have hit, she turned and smiled. "Miss me?"
"Lord Serenade!" the whole group on the Tsunami cheered with joy.
Serenade landed on the ship. "Good to see you are all okay."
Gaki bowed. "It is good to know you're still alive."
"Thank you, Gaki." Serenade smiled. "Now for these..." she turned to the black Navis.
A white furred Navi dashed through the black colored Navis, in a blink of an eye and deleted them. "A lot has gone on here recently..." said the Navi, turning to Roll & Megaman. "Long time no see."
"Kage!" Megaman cried.
"Forgive my late entrance Lord S, I had a few more of these pests to remove." Kage said.
"I knew you couldn't die." ImPal said.
"It doesn't end there." Devil Master said. "DELETED NAVI SUMMON!" he held out his arms, gathering data from the Recycle Area, creating more half-dead Navis.
"Care to join us?" Black Widow asked, getting her stingers ready.
Necronus began summoning zombies to add to the small army of black Navis.
"A little more than expected...." Xel said.
"We can handle it." Elie said.
"But you will need help......" Ailias stepped up.
"Ailias?" Megaman looked at Ailias, wondering what she was doing.
"And what do you want, little girl?" Devil Master asked, though he looked closer at Ailias, she seemed familiar to him.
"It's been a long time, father...." Ailias said.
"Irasu?" Devil Master looked shocked.
Ailias held out her arms. "Lord of the four worlds, bring to me your aid as your power is set free to those who died in vein, bring them fourth so they may serve you once again, in the hell of darkness...."
"Ailias, no!" Serenade cried.
Ailias's amulet around her neck snapped, as her arms filled with energy that shot into the Recycle Area, then exploded into a bright light.
"What's she doing?" Roll asked.
"Unleashing her powers...." Serenade explained.
"What did Devil Master mean by Irasu?" Gallantman asked.
"Wait...." Elie received another flash in her mind. "Wasn't that Valerie's Navi?!?"
"The she is Devil Master's daughter.... The one with the power to revive dead Navis!" Rezo cried.
"Yes, she came to me for hiding." Serenade explained.
"But we thought she was deleted..." Xel said.
"She almost was, and yet almost deleted a part of the UnderNet..." Serenade said.
"What? How?" Megaman asked.
But they were interrupted, as Ailias's attack into the Recycle Area shot upwards a huge beam of light that crashed down and deleted all the black Navis and zombies on Tsunami. Instead, a group of Navis took their place.
"I.... Can't.... Believe it...." Megaman said in shock.
They all knew the Navis, it was Metal Shark Player, Lilly, Russell, Roxette, Chief R, Mistman, Bowlman, Yamatoman, Darkman, Flamerman, Nana, Harpuia, Leviathan, Fefnir, & Phantom. Copyman even appeared, but now he was in a green suit armor, that was built up in the shoulders, his left arm was a powerful cannon with red orbs on it. A red gem with in the center, and on his head.
But there was also a new Navi, she had dark purple hair, and a white outfit with a cape, blue orbs on her wrists, and some pink on the outfit.
"Amelia?" Elie suddenly received another flash in her mind.
"Miss Lina?" Amelia looked at Elie, confused. "How'd I get here?"
"Speaking of which...." Paladinman said.
"What hit me?" Nana asked.
"..... Cool, how'd I get this look?" Copyman asked.
D-Nightmare held a sword at Copyman. "You traitor... Ailias, you made a mistake with this one..."
"Whoa, D." Copyman said. "Point that thing elsewhere."
"No, Copyman was under Sigma's control when he betrayed us." Serenade pointed out.
ImPal's knees buckled. "Lilly? .... Is it... Really you this time?"
Lilly blinked twice and hugged ImPal. "Of course it is! I can't believe it!!!"
Marino looked down, and turned.
"But last time you tried to kill me...." ImPal said.
"I did?" Lilly asked. "I don't remember... Not after I saved you..."
"Guys, look at Ailias!" Virina cried.
Ailias whaled in pain as she held her head with both hands, bent over. Her eyes suddenly grew cold and dark, her body darkened in color.
"Oh no...." Serenade said.
"What's happening to her?" Roll asked.
"This is Ailias's true side, the part of Devil Master...." Serenade explained. "She's a half Demon Navi."
"Wait, are you trying to tell us she has a spilt personality?" Mr. DarkChip asked. "Like Virina?"
"Sort of, but Ailias's evil form is E-Virina on a REALLY BAD DAY." Gaki said.
"Wow, we lived to see the day we'd find someone worse than us...." E-Virina said in Virina's head.
"You're not helping...." Virina groaned.
"Heh heh heh....." Ailias laughed evilly.
"Ah, she's back." Devil Master said.
"Back? BACK? Back dear father?" Ailias asked, in a very deep voice. "I am merely free of that fool who has been suppressing me. Now I can unleash my full power!"
Ailias held our her arms, a black shockwave knocked everyone back.
"You fools will pay dearly." Ailias hurled an energy ball at the group.
"Windy Shield!" Elie casted just in time, reflecting the attack.
Ailias backflipped onto the Reaper's Revenge. "The fool unleashed me by using her full powers. Idiot."
"She did that to bring us back?" Chief R asked.
"By combining her power with the Key of Time's which had been used, she had enough power to revive you all." Ailias explained. "Too bad that using that used up all the power she had left to suppressing me."
"Any ideas on how we change her back?" Bugger asked.
"The amulet was the only thing that helped her suppress it." Serenade said.
"I know how, fight it out of her!" D-Nightmare charged in, his guns blazing.
"NO YOU FOOL!" Serenade screamed, but D-Nightmare wasn't listening.
"Fool." Ailias said, she kicked D-Nightmare.
D-Nightmare grabbed Ailias arm, then kicked her in the stomach.
"Now you'll pay." Ailias gripped D-Nightmare's arm, burning it was acid. She kicked D-Nightmare back to the Tsunami.
D-Nightmare seemed a little slowed, as he stood up. "What the hell?"
"Nice going, moron." Gaki said.
"What did she do?" ImPal asked.
"Great, he's just been infected with her virus, you see it leaks out of her body....." Serenade explained. "The signs are she starts burning things like acid.... It'll delete him in 24 hours!"
"Wait, she's done this before?" Megaman asked.
Serenade sighed. "You know the Graveyard right? Let's say more than half was done by...." she paused for everyone's response.
Everyone starred at Serenade, shocked.
"Why do you think Ailias never wants to go there?" Copyman asked.
"And that's why Gaki protects that area...." Serenade explained. "She & Kage were the ones that stopped Ailias, and were the only ones that lived. You see, before that, the Graveyard was another normal area of the UnderNet...."

"Really?" Spearman asked.
"Yes, but a Navi came and started killing everything in her path, saying she was the destroyer sent by Master DJ...." Serenade said.
D-Nightmare stood. "
No matter what happens to me, I'll make sure you go down with me, Ailias."
"Lord Serenade! D-Nightmare's determined to take down Ailias." Angelman cried.
"Then I guess he's determined to die." Spearman said.
"Great, which means he'll die in the process as Ailias is the only one that can save him." Chief R said.
"Then the minute he's dead we bury the body so Ailias doesn't have to feel bad if she ever comes to." Anthony said.
Lizzie whacked Anthony in the head. "Is that anyway to talk about your teammate?"
"Oh come on, EVERYONE hates him." Anthony said.
"Look, how can we make her another one of those amulets?" Vendetta asked.
"Well we need a very rare jewel from Black Earth...." Serenade said.
"Then someone needs to go down there and find it." Zero said.
"I live down there, so I can surf around." Daven said.
"I'll go with you." ImPal said.
"And I shall go as well." Vendetta said.
"Kage, go with them as well, since you were the one who found the gem in the first place." Serenade said.
Kage nodded. "Yes, lord."
Kage, ImPal, & Vendetta boarded Daven's surfboard, they took off for Black Earth.
"Hurry back." Serenade said, holding her hands together. "My power is with you....."


Chapter Fourty-Three: Situation A, Mr. Bad@$$
Daven's surfboard quickly moved through the Net.
"Are we there yet?" ImPal groaned.
"Oh shut up....." Vendetta growled.
"We must hurry though, Lord Serenade is counting on us." Kage said.
"Hey, I'm going as fast as I can with all of you on board." Daven said.
Vendetta drew a sword at ImPal. "So stop your groaning."
"Fighting each other right now is of no use, no matter how fun it might be right now." Kage snarled, daring Vendetta to strike him.
"Oh come on guys, don't fight!" Daven said.
"Why not? I think they'd be equally matched, since they're a little alike." ImPal said.
Vendetta & Kage glared at ImPal.
"What? You're both nuts and ready to kill at the drop of a hat...." ImPal said.
"We must hurry into the dark oblivion, and receive that which shines our hope for our world as it will quell the half demon..." Vendetta said.
"What the hell did you just say?!?" Daven asked.
"He just merely said that we must get to Black Earth so that we can get the stone for Ailias." Kage translated, probably being the only one who understood Vendetta.
"See?" ImPal asked.
"It only proves that all of you are so blinded by what you are, that you don't see what you feel." Vendetta said.
"WILL YOU GOD DAMN SPEAK ENGLISH?!?!?" ImPal screamed.
"He basically said that we're so hardheaded we don't see how we really feel and jump to conclusions, such as fighting." Kage translated.
"Ahhh, finally." Vendetta said, holding his head high. "Someone who isn't a total moron."
"Thank you." Kage noted the compliment.
"We're coming up on Black Earth..." Daven said. "Hold on!"
Daven turned the surfboard into a diving position, and dove straight into the middle of the black pool.

A few minutes passed, and they arrived in an area filled with darkness, there seemed to be no ground, and nothing above them. They seemed like they were in a black hole.
"Did we make it?" ImPal asked.
"If we hadn't we'd be deleted by now." Kage answered.
"Then let the search begin." Vendetta said.
"Now if I was a magic gem, where would I be..." ImPal searched the ground.
"Well first you need to get off the board." Kage snapped, leaping off Daven's board and landing on what appeared to be ground, though he appeared to be standing on nothing.
"Ahhh, an illusion...." Vendetta said, jumping down to Kage. "ImPal, you go search as I watch for intruders."
"Why do I get all the dirty work?" ImPal growled.
"Shut up and look." Kage snarled.
Daven road his surfboard around, the ground searched for 20 minutes.
"Okay, I've scanned the entire area and nothing's here." ImPal said.
"Keep looking, it's here." Kage said.
Vendetta stood like a statue, not moving. "Try harder." he said to ImPal.
ImPal sighed. "Just shut up and look. There's no enemies right now so you might as well help me."
Vendetta stood there. "I need not look, I can sense evil." he replied.
"Moron...." ImPal grumbled.
Suddenly, a blast came out of nowhere, Vendetta quickly drew a sword and slashed the blast, without even flinching.
"What the heck?!?" Daven cried.
Vendetta stood there. "I told you I can sense without looking."
"Whatever...." ImPal rolled his eyes, then his eyes spotted a shine in the ground. "Hmm?"
"Find something?" Kage asked.
"A gem." ImPal said. "So let's go."
Kage snatched the gem from ImPal's hands. "You idiot, this is a decoy. You can't just grab the first gem you find."
"THEN YOU FIND IT!" ImPal snapped.
"Um, guys.... Did you hear something?" Daven asked.
"Hear what?" ImPal asked.
THUMP.... THUMP.... BASH!
"Something big is coming this way...." Vendetta drew his swords.
A very LARGE robot Navi walked out of the shadows, the robot
had a black and blue head with a red visor, a black body with a rainbow colored gem in the center, big arms, one with a large sliver buster, and the other with a large black sword, the legs were a little tiny.
"MR. BAD@$$ ACTIVATED!" the robot said in a very loud voice.
ImPal's jaw dropped. "..... You're joking...."
"DESTROY!!!" the robot fired its lasers at the group. "MUST KILL!!!"
"I'll let you handle this one." Vendetta said to ImPal, then nodded to Kage.
"Are you guys gonna help me or not?!?" ImPal screamed.
"Paladin, are you saying you can't defeat this thing?" Kage asked, nodding back at Vendetta.
"
Then find the gem!" ImPal yelled, flying up and kicking the robot in the head.
".... That... Was.... A MISTAKE!" the robot growled, grabbing ImPal's leg and crushing it.
"AHHH!" ImPal shot the robot in the eye.
"BIGGER MISTAKE!!!" the robot growled, punching ImPal into Daven.
ImPal and Daven nodded at each other, ImPal shot his cannon and Daven threw a few orbs. Each attack bounced off and back at the Navis.
Kage nodded at Vendetta, he swung his arm, and a massive wall of crystals shot up from the ground, making a shield for ImPal & Daven.
"ENRYUUKEN!!!" Kage screamed, spinning around as a giant crimson sword surrounded by fire formed within his hand, knocking Mr. Bad@$$ back as Kage flew backwards, sliding to a stop, the sword vanishing from his hand.
Vendetta took this opening to jump in and use his sword to pull the gem out of the robot's chest. "Ah, so this was it's power source. Thank you for the distraction, ImPal. I couldn't attack it by myself with it's defenses."
ImPal glared at Vendetta, firing at him. "DISTRACTION?!"
Vendetta blocked. "It stopped it, didn't it?"
"Never mind that...." Kage growled. "We got the gem now for Ailias..."
Vendetta threw the gem to Kage. "This is it, isn't it?"
Kage nodded. "Yes, let's go."
Suddenly, the robot's eyes glowed. "..... BACKUP GENERATOR ACTIVATED!" the robot kicked Vendetta out of sight, and grabbed ImPal by the neck.
"I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ImPal hollered.
"DESTRUCTION PROGRAM ACTIVATED!" Mr. Bad@$$ growled, ready to kill ImPal.
"Hang on ImPal." Kage said, as a black jacket formed on his shoulders. He dashed forward, upper-cutting Mr. Bad@$$'s arm with his sword, then Kage slashed the robot seven times.
Mr. Bad@$$'s arm let go of ImPal, but its body appeared undamaged.
"Oh bugger...." Daven groaned.
"Wait, is it my imagination or is that robot stronger?" ImPal asked.
"It is, you see this gem is a power suppresser." Kage explained. "That is why it works for Ailias, it suppresses her powers, I'm guessing it was doing to same for the robot..."
"GREAT SO WE JUST MADE IT STRONGER AND MORE TICKED OFF AT US!!!" ImPal hollered.
"Yes, but I can handle it." Kage threw the gem to ImPal. Kage's eyes flashed red, his body glowing red. "ImPal, Daven, take the gem to Serenade, and tell her to utter these words... 'Situation A, Unlocked limited release control to level 1, Activate the Chromal Inicitative.' I'm going to stop this robot and rip his data apart little, by little, until there is nothing left."
"Right away!" Daven grabbed his surfboard, ImPal leapt on. "We'll be back."

Daven drove his surfboard out of Black Earth, and hollered as loud as he could. "GATEMAN!!!!!!!!"
The Remo Gate opened, Daven's surfboard flew into the gate, and appeared back at the battle in the Recycle Area.
"Daven! ImPal!" Serenade cried, she was holding Ailias in place.
"Wait, you can touch her?" ImPal asked.
"I can use my reflective ability to hold her." Serenade answered. "Did you get the gem?"
ImPal handed it to Serenade. She grabbed it with one hand, the other still holding Ailias.
"What the hell do you plan on doing with that?" Ailias growled.
"Oh just this..." Serenade's hand glowed, as she shoved the gem into Ailias's chest, an amulet formed around her neck.
Ailias's eyes exploded with rays of white light, her body exploded into a whirlwind of data, then assembled back together, her eyes returned normal. "Huh?"
"Ailias?" ImPal asked.
"What am I doing?" Ailias asked.
"You don't want to know...." Yamatoman said.
Ailias looked over D-Nightmare. "Oh D! I did it again, didn't I?" she held her hands over D-Nightmare, healing him.
"Thanks...." D-Nightmare groaned.
"Yep, again..." Copyman said.
"Well considering who you are...." ImPal said.
Ailias jumped up and looked at everyone, shocked. "YOU KNOW THAT I'M DEVIL MASTER'S DAUGHTER?!?"
Everyone looked at each other with sweatdrops, and nodded.
"...." Ailias started walking to the end of the ship.
"Where are you going?" Spearman asked.
"To kill myself...." Ailias answered.
"Stop...." Gateman rolled his eyes.
"Ailias, you know you didn't have control because of the program you were created from." Serenade said.
"It wasn't your fault. And besides, you were able to come back before anyone had a chance to get hurt." ImPal pointed out.
"At least we stopped her before she killed someone....." Darkman said.
"I do not deserve to live, I could have killed you all...." Ailias said.
"Ailias, knock it off." Parlay said.
"Do you think we care?!" Neosman asked.
"Ailias, stop it now or you'll be VERY SORRY..." Serenade snarled.
Ailias's eyes looked like they were going to explode. "Yes, lord...."
"Where's Kage & V?" Bugger asked.
"Oh yeah, they're a little.... Busy...." Daven said.
"Kage told me to tell you this.... 'Situation A, Unlocked limited release control to level 1, Activate the Chromal Inicitative.' Whatever it means...." ImPal said.
"Do you know what this means?" Daven turned to Gaki.
"As his master, Serenade is the only one who can release his full power by saying these words." Gaki said.
"Yes, but there's a risk...." Serenade said, closing her eyes. "But I think there might now be much of a choice.... Situation A, Unlocked limited release control to level 1, Activate the Chromal Inicitative...."

Back in Black Earth.......
"Limited Release approval is confirmed, Releasing control on Restriction System to Level 1." Kage growled, his hairs standing up as all the darkness within the area was pulled into his body. Kage sat still for a moment, before howling, his purple fur turned red, purple stripes running across it, and his hair turned black.
Mr. Bad@$$ charged up his buster and fired at the spot Kage stood at, but Kage was already behind Mr. Bad@$$.
"Hello there, scrap metal...."
Kage said in a deep voice, hissing as he did. "I'm going to tear you apart slowly.... And painfully.... And you can't do a thing to stop me."
"DIE!!!! I'LL SEND YOU TO HELL BY MY HANDS!!!" Kage howled, leaping onto Mr. Bad@$$ tearing the robot's head apart with his claws, swinging them mercilessly.
"VIOLATION OF HEAD CHOPPING OFF, WILL RETURN PROGRAM!" Mr. Bad@$$'s head continued to fire lasers, as the one arm swung its sword and the other fired its buster.
Vendetta came flying down and chopped of the robot's arm blaster. "Care for a tag-team attack?"
"Get out of here, he's mine!" Kage hollered.
"Who cares who finishes this robot off?" Vendetta asked. "All that matters is stopping it, no matter what."
Kage pulled his arms back, slamming them together, making a large shockwave, that slammed into the ground, resulting in giant crystals rising from the ground to impale Mr. Bad@$$.
Vendetta leapt now into the air, and stabbed the robot's head. Large sparks shot out from its eyes. Soon a huge explosion followed as the head blew up so large that the explosion covered the area.
"You idiot....." Kage snarled at Vendetta, as he swung his arm. A massive wall of crystals shot up from the ground, making a shield for them.
"Well at least it's gone." Vendetta said. "That wasn't so bad...."
Kage just glared at Vendetta, rolling his eyes as he dusted off his black jacket. "Let us get back to Queen Serenade...."

Chapter Fourty-Four: Marriage Again? The True Power of the Shura Sword!
The battle between ships continued on, firepower was being thrown back and fourth.
But in the Shadow Gallery, an explosion rocked the ceiling, as a few uninvited guests appeared, lead by DJ.
"DJ!" Spotty cried.
DJ, Curse, Marina, Edward, Billy Boy, Pinky, and many Copybot bodies filled with zombie-like Navis surrounded the room. On the other side of the room, an army of robots appeared.
"Going all out?" DJ turned to Edward.
Edward held up a glass filled with wine. "Why not?" he joked.
"How dare you...." V snarled, drawing both swords.
"Valerie...." DJ said. "I should have known from the beginning it was you, after all who else could figure out how to help the prisoners escape? Or hack into the system?"
"You shall pay for your crimes." V said.
"Xellious, you and your sister will regret ever betraying me." DJ said, signaling his troops to attack.
"Oh great and we can't Cross Fuse since our Navis are in the UnderNet!" Brandon groaned.
"Well at least I can fight!" Daniel stepped forward. "Flare Arrow!" Daniel summoned a series of fire arrows he threw at the robot troops, which bounced off.
"Anymore bright ideas?" Keith remarked.
Spotty drew a sword. "Looks like we'll have to fight, mate."
"We're not armed, you idiot." Anthony pointed out.
"Ruth, take those that can't fight to the shelter." V said.
Ruth nodded. "Guys, follow me."
"What? We're gonna run while they fight?" Jake asked.
"That's the idea." Spotty said, jumping out and clashing swords with Curse.
"You're off the edge of the map here, mate." Curse said, grinning. "Here there be monsters!"
"The only monster I see is the one that I'll be killing." Daniel said, ready to launch another spell. "Andrew, Alex, try to help the others get to safety."
"Becareful, okay Daniel?" Andrew asked.
"I have magic...." Jane said. "Maybe I can help?"
"Well I'm not leaving." Treble said.
Snippy drew a sword and handed two to Lizzie.
"Wait, I'm not leaving Lizzie." Anthony said.
"Then you get your head chopped off as I'm taking Morgan to the shelter." Brandon said.
Pinky & Billy Boy ran up to Snippy & Lizzie.
Pinky smirked. "Hello puppet."
Lizzie cross-slashed at Pinky while Snippy bopped Billy Boy in the head. Port broke two bottles on each of their heads from behind.
"Thanks Port." Snippy said.
"There's more where that came from." Port said, holding his sword firm.
Ruth ran over to a painting and removed it, she pressed a button from behind and a door opened. A little man stood there, he had a pirate outfit on.
"Mr. Puddles?" Tron asked, confused.
"That V person saved me from DJ Hellmaster." Mr. Puddles answered.
A little Navi that was yellow and white with a purple jewel on his helmet stood next to him. "It's been a while."
"Little Bit." Teisel said. "Well at least you're here."
Behind them was a dog Navi with keys in its mouth.
Spotty turned around, his face turned white. "Damnation?" he said with a shutter.
"Oh don't worry, he's not here." Xel said with a wink at Spotty. "Just the Navi, Damnation has the keys to the shelter."
Spotty sighed, relieved. "Oh, good."
"Get me outta here!" Koji was the first to run into the room.
"What is it?" Amber asked. "A tiny room for protection?"
"It's an elevator...." Ruth rolled her eyes. "Get in if you want out of the battle."
Andrew & Alex stood guard, fighting off the robots and zombies.
Kathryn ran over to a fancy sword display and pulled one of the swords out, she slashed through a robot and joined the battle.
"Do you how to sword fight lass?" Mr. Blue Nose asked.
"I play a lot of sword fighting games." Kathryn said with a smile, wielding the sword very well as she cut through another robot.
"It works." V said, with a nod.
"I KNEW IT!!! I'M GONNA DIE!!" Ryan ran around screaming, until a robot grabbed him.
SHOT! Steve shot the robot, it let go of Ryan.
"Steve!" Ryan cried.
"Let's get you outta here." Steve pulled Ryan into the elevator.
Brandon didn't hesitate, he pulled Morgan in right away.
"Lan!" Mayl cried, she was running from the robots.
Lan put on his skates and jumped onto the table, he rolled up and jumped above the group, grabbed Mayl and lifted her up, and dashed over to the elevator.
Lan stopped to catch his breath, Mayl was blushing.
"Nice trick." Clair said, who had just entered the elevator.
"Nicole, come with me!" Keith cried.
But Nicole was having too much fun fighting off the robots, just as Keith was asking she accidentally karate chopped him in the head, knocking him over.
"Oh well." Nicole said, turning back to the fight.
Dennis grabbed Sara & Lynn and pulled them over to the elevator.
"Are you okay, Miss Sara?" Dennis asked.
Sara nodded. "Yes, but what's all that noise I hear?"
"You don't want to know, sis." Lynn said.
JD walked past the madness, and run into the elevator.
Jane turned to Taylor. "Taylor, you better get in there."
"And leave you?" Taylor shook his head. "No way, I'll stay."
Kamon grabbed Taylor by his shirt and kicked him into the elevator. "Listen to her you fool." he stepped in himself.
"I think you should take his advice." said Sally, who walked in.
"C'mon, let's get outta here." Jake said, grabbing Heather and Amy and throwing them into the elevator.
"I guess this is the only way to travel?" Maddy asked, as she walked in.
"Lan, you can't escape me!" Mr. Match ran in.
"I thought we're running from that?" Count Zap pointed to the battle.
"We're trying to survive." Yahoot said, who was already inside.
"..... Are..... We..... Being..... Attacked....?" Shori asked, slowly.
Blaze picked Shori up, and ran into the elevator.
"I can't believe that girl...." Tron said, a sweatdrop on her head appeared.
"How dense can she get?" Jasmine asked, walking in.
"Umm....." Yai just whistled as she walked in.
Dex and Tory stepped in, Chaud slowly walked in.
"Are we all going to fit in this thing?" Dex asked.
"Ruth, you better take the first batch of them now." Mr. Blue Nose said, then drew his sword and joined the fight.
Ruth nodded and pressed a button, the elevator went down quickly, leading to a similar room. Everyone ran out.
"Look, you'll be safe as this is the only way in or out of this room." Ruth said, closing the door. "I'll be back with more."
"But what about our Navis?" Lan asked.
Ruth pointed to a large TV in front of them. "You can access the Net from there and operate your Navis that way, the other TV you can watch the security camera for the above room, it'll show you what's going on up there."
The elevator started heading back up.
Lan pressed a button on the little TV, a picture showed the above room, and the endless battle.
"Well let's see if we can help our Navis." Chaud said, pressing a button on the large TV, showing the UnderNet.

Back in the UnderNet, Black Heart suddenly stopped. "What is it father?" she asked.
Devil Master turned to Black Heart. "Master DJ is calling?"
Black Heart nodded. "He wants me to go to the Real World. He has a Copybot ready."
What Black Heart didn't see was Elie standing in front of her. "Sorry darling, but I can't let that. Elmekia Flame!" she fired a series of rays at Black Heart.
A Navi Portal had appeared right that moment, Black Heart missed it as she avoided Elie's attack.
"Damn you, Inverse." Black Heart growled, throwing a knife. "Shadow Snap!" she had hoped to pin Elie in place.
"Raywing!" Elie flew up before the knife could strike her shadow, she flew up. "Dy Slash!" she fired a series of boomerange-shaped energy blasts at Black Heart.
"Valis Wall!" Black Heart deflected the attacks, but not soon enough.
Elie charged at the portal at full speed, and made it through. She transferred into the Copybot body in the Real World.
"Dammit." DJ cursed. "You weren't supposed to come!"
"Yeah well your luck is starting to run out!" Elie said, raising a hand above her head. "Explosion Array!!!!!"
The ground around DJ exploded, sending him flying into the ceiling.
"Nice one." V nodded to Elie.
Elie smirked. "Thanks, now let's finish the others."
The elevator had just arrived back to the floor, Ruth stuck her head out.
"Guys! It's back!" Alex called out.
John and Dora were the next ones to run in, trying to tip-toe around their father, hoping he wasn't even paying attention.
Allan grabbed Nicole by the shoulder. "Look, sis. You're only human and can do so much. Let's take our chance and leave?"
Nicole grumbled, but nodded. "Fine, but only because I want to save you." she followed Allan inside.
"HELP!" Pride was surrounded by the zombie Navis.
Raika took a device off his tie, which shot out and wrapped around a statue in the room, he swung out, grabbed Pride, and landed inside the elevator.
"Show off." Mr. Famous said stepping inside.
"........" Mute didn't say a thing as he slashed through a few zombie Navis.
Ibuki whammed a Navi in face, then threw her purse to another as she took his opportunity to run into the elevator. The Navi looked into the purse, and it exploded, destroying the Copybot body.
"I predict if we don't get in there now, we never will." Miyu said, as Sal was dragging her.
"Yeah, that's why I'm running in there!" Sal barked.
Higsby & Masa shoved each other over, trying to hurry inside, followed by Firefox, Telsa, and Charlie.
Dusk walked in slowly, not flinched to the pieces of robot pieces flying over his head.
"Ahhh, we're missing all the action!" Tamako said as she ran in.
"Better to live and fight another day." Jacob said.
"Here's a going away present!" Justin threw a grenade that exploded, destroying a few robots.
Ribbita was only inches away from the blast-zone. "ARE YOU INSANE?!?" she ran in and clobbered Justin in the head.
"You almost hit her." Rahoul said, walking in with Dingo.
"Oh my, this was part of my bad luck...." Shuko said as she was pushed in by Gourry.
"Can't let a nice lady like you get killed." Gourry said.
Mina and Roxy were the last ones to run inside.
"Is everyone here?" Ruth asked.
"Of the ones that want to go." Andrew said, stepping inside.
Alex walked in. "Shouldn't we stay with Daniel?"
"Daniel can take care of himself." Andrew said.
Anthony spun around and cracked a bottle on Port's head, and kicked him inside. "Here's one extra for ya."
"What did you do that for?" Lizzie asked.
"Because he's the most likely to get killed." Anthony said.
Ruth closed the door, and took the elevator down.
All that remained in the room fighting now was V, Xel, Spotty, Elie, Lizzie, Daniel, Snippy, Anthony, Mr. Blue Nose, Mute, Kathryn, Treble, and Jane.
Beat sat on Jane's head and Data remained on Treble's shoulder.
DJ came crashing down from the ceiling, he landed behind Spotty who was fighting Curse. DJ slashed Spotty across the chest, and kick him to the side.
"Spotty!!!" Elie cried.
"Hellball!" Daniel hurled at DJ, but DJ caught it with a single hand.
"Digger Volt!" Marina stood behind DJ, summoning the lighting strike at Daniel.
"Windy Shield." Elie casted, blocking the attack from Daniel. "Great, another witch to fight...." she groaned.
"Mother has ben teaching me magic...." Marina said. "Fireball!" ..... But she set DJ on fire.
Elie blinked a few times. "Why am I getting a deja-vu here?" A sweatdrop appeared on her head.
DJ turned around and growled. "WILL YOU LEARN TO AIM YOUR MAGIC?!?" he barked.
"Sorry grandpa....." Marina said.

"Callow, are we? Even if it's that so, I don't care..." Elie smirked, a red ball forming in her hand.
DJ leapt forward, ready to slash Elie.
Elie swiftly turned around and blocked the attack with a Ruby-Eye Blade which formed in her hand. "You're so predictable..." She knocked DJ's sword off.
"You're all going down." DJ declared. "Black Heart! It's time for the Shura Sword's true form!"
"What non-sense is he talking about?" Daniel asked.
Elie knew DJ wasn't playing around, as he came at her again with his sword.
Elie pushed DJ back fiercely, her TCM glowing. "Explosion..." she murmured, swinging the sword at DJ, and causing an explosion which involved him at the contact with his body.
"Come fourth gates of Tengu!" a voice came from the explosion.
DJ emerged from the explosion with the Shura Sword in his hands. "Thank you, Black Heart... At least I can rely on one child...."
"Black Heart?" V asked. "But how?"
"Black Heart must have casted a long-range spell that sent the Shura Sword to him." Xel explained.
Elie swiftly jumped back, she pulled out a well known crucifix.
"Time for a change. Blessed power coming from Etherion and the second Master, show the fool who's trying to stand in my way the true power of light. TEN COMMANDMENTS."
A bright light engulfed the crucifix and its size grew dramatically, until a large sword was formed on its place. Elie grabbed it with one hand, now she had two swords in her hands.

"Are you ready?" DJ teased Elie, as he swung his blade.
"I'm always ready, you should know it. Let's go, bastard." Elie hissed, she suddenly charged at DJ.
DJ swung the sword forward, sending a beam of energy in the shape of a sword at Elie.
"Valmaceid..." Elie muttered before she was hit and pushed back by DJ's attack. Her spell enforced her armor and allowed her to take a least damage. She attacked DJ again, this time using both her swords.
DJ blocked this time and his sword glowed a dark blue. Purple sparks emerged and flew off towards Elie.
Elie avoided the sparks, but DJ used it was a distraction to thrust forward at her.
Elie saw him coming but it was too late, she tried to jump away but his sword brushed her right leg, leaving a quite deep cut. She though ignored the pain and already prepared her next attack, slashing at DJ with both her swords again, upwards and diagonally, and in a luminous 'X' form.
DJ was hurt, but still attacked Elie furiously. He spun and slashed her several times, much faster than before.
A few slashes brushed Elie's body, but she didn't mind it. She was used to worse pain. She kept slashing at DJ as well, blocking most of his attacks or avoiding them, spinning around and countering with more ferocity and in a way faster mode too.
DJ tried to block most of Elie's slashes and still countered, his Shura Sword increased in size and the flames were growing.
Elie kept countering and slashing using both her swords, soon her Ruby-Eye Blade was getting smaller, but the power inside her TCM was increasing instead, and the sword was glowing brighter. Elie suddenly attempted to slash at DJ's left using Silfarion, finding an opening.
The Shura Sword glowed and protected DJ partly, but he was still hurt and bleeding from the attack, he now hurled the Shura Sword's blast at Elie.
Elie held both her swords forward which partially protected her, the Valmaceid's effect was still on as the rest of the attack hit her armor but some parts cracked and got broken quite seriously. Elie was pushed back, but quickly recovered and swung a last large wave of black magic at DJ, using the remaining of her Ruby-Eye Blade before it eventually faded out. The wave was also strengthened with some Etherion power.
"WITNESS THE SHURA SWORD'S TRUE POWER!" DJ hollered, as the Shura Sword glowed with a black aura and absorbed most of Elie's attack, except for the part that was strengthened by her Etherion power, which hit DJ and knocked him back.
Elie now had only her TCM in her hand. She whirled it in her hand, despite the fact the sword was pretty heavy, and suddenly charged at DJ again, using Silfarion again to slash at him three times swiftly just when he was knocked back, stepping back when she was done and keeping her guard up.
DJ recovered from the attack and stood and grinned at Elie. "Where did you think all that power went?" he smiled, unleashing it back out at Elie.
"VALIS WALL!" Elie yelled, somehow expecting a counter-attack like that to come. She held her hand out, her own slashes crashing into the barrier, but the shockwave of the attack made another part of her armor crack slightly. "Great... Now I gotta find a way to nullify this annoying send-back thing..." she muttered to herself.
"Heh heh heh...." DJ laughed. "The Shura Sword is made of Dark Magic and can absorb it, how do you plan to defend yourself against it Inverse?" he asked.
"I'll find something, as I always do. Don't worry." Elie smirked, as she started to focus on his sword and searched for a weakness.
"Go ahead and try until doom's day." DJ said, jumping out attacking again.
"It'll be sooner than you even expect." Elie said, getting into a defensive pose. She knew however she attacked him, her own attacks would turn back to her.
"Finally I've unlocked the full power of the Shura Sword!" DJ cried, slashing upwards at Elie.
Elie blocked the attack, she couldn't counter back but at least she was perfectly able to defend herself. "Think Elie, think..... There MUST be a weakness in that goddamn sword......" she thought, as she stepped back.
"What's wrong?" DJ asked. "Scared?" he thrusted the sword forward.
Spotty kicked up a vase that was on the ground and into Curse's face, he took the opening to block DJ's sword, and grab Elie to pull her away.
"If you don't get away from him he'll kill you!" Spotty cried.
"Oh come on, that thing has got to have SOME kind of weakness." Elie snarled.
"Look, Elie, don't you realize what that sword is?" Spotty asked.
Elie arched an eyebrow. "Is this some other hidden crap you're just telling me now?" she hissed.
"No, just something I guess you don't remember." Spotty said blocking another slash by DJ. "That sword is what Black Heart used to steal your powers!"
A flash came through Elie's mind. "Of course..... It absorbs magic and her amulets...." she muttered. "That's why it's so strong, it's powered by MY powers from my life as Lina....."
"That sword became your downfall." Spotty explained.
"And it will again!" DJ cried, he was ready to stab Spotty.
But something interrupted them.
"Lord of Dreams that Terrify, Sword of the cold dark void, free yourself from the heavens bonds, become one with my power, one with my body, and let us walk the path of destruction together! Power that can smash even the souls of the Gods! RAGNA BLADE!!"
Daniel threw the Ragna Blade out, then launched into a new spell.
"Darkness beyond blackest pitch, deeper than the deepest night. King of Darkness who shines like gold upon the Sea of Chaos, I call upon thee, swear myself to thee. Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I possess... GIGA SLAVE!"
Daniel prepared to execute another spell.
"Black dragon who sleeps in the red flame. With your mighty roar, burn my enemies down!! GAAV FLARE!!"
A powerful ball of fire energy lanced from Daniel's handsand impacted the other spells.
"Darkness beyond the twilight, Redder than the blood that flows. Buried in the flow of time, in thy great name here I make a vow to darkness. To all those fools that stand before us, with your strength and mine deliver doom to them all!! DRAGON SLAVE!"
Daniel prepared one last spell
"Thou whose darkness is beyond twilight. Thou whose darkness engulfs the hearts of even the purest mortal. Thou who lives in the Sea of Chaos. I call upon thee, pledge myself to thee. Grant me the power to destroy those who oppose me."
A massive blade of darkness came into existence.
"SHADOW RAGNA BLADE!!"
The Shadow Ragna Blade impacted with the other spells to form a massive blade of immense power.
"HERE I COME!! DRAGONSLAYER SWORD!!"
Daniel hurled the attack at DJ. DJ smiled as he held up the Shura Sword, which absorbed the attack completely.
"NICE GOING IDIOT!!!!" Elie hollered, knowing what was coming next.
DJ swung the sword out, and the DragonSlayer Sword came flying at them, blasting all of them across the room, and through the wall.
Elie had grabbed Jane and Treble before the attack, trying to protect them as Spotty used himself as a barrier for the 3 of them.
Elie casted a healing spell on them group, a few wounds were caused by the attack. "Daniel, if you do that again I'LL KILL YOU!" she hissed.
The robots and zombies gathered again, the rest of the group jumped out, trying to defend against them. DJ stood there, laughing.
Xel leapt up and attacked a few of the attacking Navis with his spells, trying to give Elie time to recover.
Spotty helped Elie up. "You okay?"
Elie nodded. "Yeah, nothing much. I'm used to worse...."
A few robots got through and started attacking, Elie pulled out her TCM and Spotty drew his sword. They tag-teamed and took each side of the attacking robots. The zombie Navis started coming as well. V leapt out, and attacked DJ.
"V won't stand a chance against him." Elie said. "Damn, I've got to find that sword's weakness."
"Elie...." Spotty said, while attacking the zombie Navis. "If we don't make it through this....."
"Don't you start talking like that now!" Elie barked. "You giving up on me or something?"
Spotty shook his head, spun around, and grabbed Elie's shoulder. "No, but just in case, a thought came across my mind...."
"Did it hurt?" Elie joked.
"Not funny." Spotty growled. "..... It's just, we weren't REALLY married and all, we only got married as a distraction to live..."
Elie blocked a slash from a robot. "And? It was YOUR idea last time I checked. Curse and DJ were about to kill us and Xel asked if we wanted a last request, now unless you copied the data wrong...."
"No, no, no.... Not that." Spotty said. "It's just I know it's strange with since you died and all, and since we didn't really WANT to get married then...."
"Yeah, I was still young but didn't have much of a choice, what's your point?" Elie asked, she was really getting annoyed by this point.
Spotty slashed through 2 zombies, and turned to Elie. "Will you marry me?"
Elie rolled her eyes, as she blocked an incoming slash. "I REALLY don't think now's the best time!!!" she snapped.
"That's my point, we may never get another chance." Spotty pointed out, spinning out and slashing through a few robots. "What do you say?"
Elie thought about for a few moments, after hurling a Flare Arrow at a group of robots. She turned to Xel. "XEL!!! MARRY US!!!!!" she hollered.
Xel turned, he was fighting off a massive group of zombies and robots. "I'M A LITTLE BUSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.
"YOU OWE ME ONE!!!" Elie barked back, throwing a fireball at a few of the zombies attacking Xel. "AND YOU KNOW IT!!!"
Xel's eyes were wide open, he sighed and took a deep breath, as he floated up, firing a few Freeze Arrows at his attacking group. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together...." he started saying as loud as he could.
The rest of the group was watching below, unsure of how real all this really was. Jane and Treble watched in amazement.
Spotty & Elie decided to take it from here, Elie ran up to Spotty, blasting her path with an Elmekia Lance.
"Do you Spotty take me to be your wife?" Elie asked, slashing through a few zombie Navis, and kicking a few robots to the side. "To love, honor, and most of all OBEY me, until death once again us part?"
Spotty nodded, a smile grew across his face. "No worries, love." he said, slashing through a few zombie Navis. "Do you take me to be your husband?"
Elie smiled. "You know, I'm gonna have to think about that..... I mean at least your were more gallant looking when I married you the first time, now you look like something the cat drug in, then chewed it up, and spat it back out." she joked.
"ELIE!!!!!!!!" Xel hollered.
"Oh all right, YES!" Elie screamed.
"Fine!" Xel growled. "Then by the powers by me, and such and such, whatever, you're married again! Now hurry up kiss her Spotty before she comes to her senses!" he fired a few blasts at the robots.
 But Elie and Spotty were busy defending each side, the zombies were still attacking.
"You may kiss!" Xel hollered, dodging an attack.
But still Elie was blasting a few zombies away, Spotty still slashing a few.
"JUST KISS!!!!" Xel growled, blowing a zombie away with a fireball.
Elie & Spotty spun around and their swords met each other, an accidental block by each other.
"KISS HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Xel screamed louder than ever.
Spotty placed one hand behind Elie's head and pulled her forward, kissing her. They remained there only for a moment, as Elie pulled herself out of the kiss, she pushed Spotty back, and stuck her tongue out.
"YUCK!!!" Elie said.
"Yuck?" Spotty repeated.
Elie placed her hand over her mouth, giggling a little. "I've never kissed you with a beard before...." she pointed out.
Spotty slashed a robot behind him, and gave Elie a disturbed look. "I kiss you and you say yuck?!?!?"

Chapter Fourty-Five: Overpowering the Shura Sword
The battle in the UnderNet raged on, as more and more zombie Navis covered the Tsunami.
"We've got to stop this!" Bugger cried.
"I'm open to ideas!!!" Serenade hollered.
"I think the most of this relies on Elie....." Roll said.
"Yeah, if she can stop DJ, that'll stop the Reaper's Revenge...." Bouillabaisse said.
A Dragon Slave nearly hit the group, sent by Black Heart.
"What about Black Heart?" Protoman asked.
"Well that's where I come in." Megaman stepped up, and turned. "Cinnamon, give me a Force Metal Chip."
Cinnamon nodded, she held out her hands. A bright white light appeared, and turned into a chip, she handed it to Megaman.
Roll grabbed Megaman, pulled him to her and kissed him. "Becareful okay?"
Megaman nodded. "I will."
"I can handle Black Heart..." D-Nightmare said, but he could barely stand.
"D, no!" Ailias said, grabbing D-Nightmare's arm. "You're still damaged from my virus!"
Serenade nodded. "She's right, you remain here, I'll help Megaman."
Serenade grabbed Megaman and flew over to the Reaper's Revenge.
"So you wish to take me on?" Black Heart asked with a smirk. "Very well, I shall crush you too."
Medallion, Black Widow, Devil Master, Necronus, Lifhia, and the rest of the Dark Navis boarded the Tsunami.
"Gallant Buster Full Power!!" Gallantman cried, firing at Devil Master.
Devil Master took the shot and smirked. "Surely you can do better." he teased.
"DATA NECROMANCY!" Necronus summoned more zombies.
"We really need to do something about that guy...." Neosman said.
"Sword of Holy Land!" Paladinman cried. A two-handed sword appeared in Paladinman's hands, he charged towards Black Widow.
Black Widow pulled out one of her many stingers, and blocked the attack.
"Paladin Cannon Multiple Burst!" ImPal fired at Necronus.
Necronus smiled, as the attack did nothing. "That's it? It didn't even cause a dent...."
"Wait, doesn't he have one weak point?" Toyia asked. "That V person found it."
"Yeah but Vendetta isn't here...." Mary pointed out.
Lifhia came charging at full speed, ready to slam into someone.
"REMO GATE!" Gateman threw up a gate that took Lifhia, it then opened up and dropped her on her head.
"Finally a use for that...." Teal joked.
Gaki snatched the Remo Gate and used it to club Devil Master in the head. Devil Master turned, growled, and stabbed Gaki with his sword.
"Rainbow Heal!" Valiya shot her healing ray at Gaki.
Protoman appeared behind Devil Master, and threw his own sword through the Navi.
"Nice one." Devil Master said, but he grabbed Protoman's blade and snapped it in half.
"Not good....." Protoman said.
Devil Master was about to slash Protoman when Zero jumped in and blocked.
Mr. Dark Chip, P-Man, and Virina were hiding in a corner.
"Should we help them?" P-Man asked.
"And get killed by Necronus?!?" Virina pointed out.
Medallion pulled out a sword, swung it like an idiot, and ran in circles.
"You've got to be kidding me...." Roxy rolled her eyes.
"You're a fool, Medallion." Angelman said. "CLEANSING INFERNO!!!"
Medallion was suddenly engulfed in flames.
"Your sentence is deletion. EN GARDE!!" Soldierman cried, stabbing his sword into Medallion's Navi Symbol.
BOOM! Medallion logged out.
Lifhia shot a sonic wave at Soldierman, he was hit and crashed into Angelman.
"SONIC BOOM!" Capeman threw at Lifhia.
Siya was next, she slammed her arms to the ground. "UNDERGROUND BURST!!!!"
A series of swords came up and stabbed Lifhia, Lifhia logged out.
The zombies and Dark Navis continued to attack and grow in numbers.
"Thunder Katana!" Kuragari pointed his sword at the zombies and shot out of a bolt of lightning, blowing them up one by one.
"Hydra Form!" Daven cried.
A blue light surrounded Daven's body. Fins appeared on his back, legs and wrists. A helmet also appeared on his head. Daven picked up his surfboard and pulled out a sword from it.
Daven leapt out with his sword, quickly slashing through the Dark Navis, while at the same time throwing blue orbs at far away Dark Navis.
Bola & Klaymoor stumbled into the fight, the two tripped over each other, and fell right into ChowChow, Unick, Parlay, Bugger, Speakie, Protoman, Zero, Angelman, Spearman, and Mary all holding swords at them.
"Parlay?" Bola joked.
"You're dead." Ice Cream Man said.
The two Pirate Navis looked at each other for a moment, and logged out.
"Chickens...." Parlay said.
"Stinger!!!" Black Widow fired her stingers around, she kicked Paladinman to the side, and flipped into the air.
"Not quite as good as a ninja, I'm a better bounty hunter than you." Shadowman said from behind Black Widow.
"How did you?!?" Black Widow cried.
Shadowman didn't say anything, instead he drew a sword, stabbed Black Widow, and kicked her down to the deck of the ship.
Black Widow was getting up, as right then Chainsawman & Deathman passed by, leaving once again as usual a path of destruction.
"What the hell?" Black Widow asked with a sweatdrop on her head.
But because she wasn't looking, Bugger appeared in her face, and stabbed her.
"That was for Amelia." Bugger said.
Amelia stood on and top of the mast. "Evil Navi I have returned from the valley of the dead, to bring you to justice! It proves you shall never stop that you will pay for your evil deeds!!!" she proclaimed.
"Um, was she always like this?" Haloman asked.
A large sweatdrop appeared on Bugger's head. "Unfortunately, yes...." he groaned.
Amelia closed her eyes, and placed two fingers in front of her face. "Strength of all souls which dwells between chaos and the infinite... Eternal flame of blue.. Hidden strength that slumbers deep within me.. I call you forth here and now.. RA TILT!"
Amelia then placed her arms across her chest, a bright white light appeared. She extended her arms, and a large blast of white energy shot out, and right through Black Widow, forcing the Navi to log out.
"Ray Wing!" Amelia held her hand above her head, and flew down to Bugger, and smiled. "I did it!"
Bugger cracked a smile. "You sure did."
Devil Master and Necronus looked at each other, this seemed like a losing battle.
"How long do you think you can hold out?" Necronus asked.
"As long as DJ Hellmaster still has power left, he can hold my strength up..." Devil Master said. "But..... If he runs out, I run out."
"Then let's hope we can delete these bozos before then...." Necronus said.

Back at the Shadow Gallery, in the basement, everyone was watching the battle above.
"I bet Daniel will figure out how to defeat DJ...." Andrew said.
"More like he's gonna insist on fighting him." Nicole pointed out.
Brandon sighed. "He's an idiot. He thinks he can be the best just by fighting blind. If he attacks DJ, he's going to die, I think he already proved that."
"
I have a feeling he'll be able to do some serious damage to him." Gourry said.
Anthony shook his head. "You have too much confidence in him. He is cocky, and can be easily beaten by DJ Hellmaster." he said.
"He seems to be more of a berserk then my sister and she relies on falling into a mindless berserk state when she can't win in Cross Fusion." John pointed out. "In other words I think he is toast."
"
Sometimes, a blind rage can be the greatest weapon." Andrew said.
"Don't take this the wrong way but you need to get that head of yours checked." John said.
"
How do we know that you can be trusted, John?" Andrew asked in an angry tone. "You were absent during Delete V. Final's attack."
"
Me and Dora were being FORCED to SEND that attack." John said, trying to remind the group.
"
Right... How do we know that you didn't do that of your own free will?" Alex asked.
"Oh shut up will you?" Kamon said. "You're all a bunch on idiots in my book."
"Are you challenging me?" Alex snapped.
"Guys! This isn't the place to fight!" Lan cried.
"Ah, see!" Andrew pointed to the screen. "There's Daniel, ready to strike now."
"Is he always this stupid?" Brandon asked.
"
No. He's just stubborn." Andrew said.
"
That stubbornness is going to get him killed..." Morgan said.
"And how is that?" Alex asked.
"
"Simple. All of you are overconfident...." Jake pointed out.

Back upstairs, V was still attacking DJ, but Elie and Spotty nearly destroyed all of the robot troops and zombie Navis.
"Gotcha! BURST FLARE!!" Daniel hurled at DJ.
"NO!!!!" Xel cried, but it was too late.
DJ's sword absorbed the attack, and threw it back at Daniel. "Daniel, you just got burned!"
"Windy Shield!" Elie casted just in time to save Daniel. "The next time I'm not saving your butt!" she hissed.
"Damn, that sword just seems to absorb all kinds of magic...." Xel said.
"Yeah, didn't DJ say it was made of Dark Magic or something?" Jane asked.
"Ah, yes. So you can't beat it!" Curse suddenly came out of nowhere, trying to slash Elie.
Elie leapt back, narrowly dodging, still pondering in her mind. She thought about what Jane had said. When suddenly she widened her eyes, an idea finally running into her head. "Wait a second...... Why didn't I think about it earlier?!"
V leapt back, over to Elie. "Did you think of something."
Elie said nothing, she waited for DJ to attack.
"You're done for!" DJ charged up the sword and threw a sword beam at Elie.
A grin spread across Elie's face, she stretched her hand out. "DEFENSE." she said, the beam crashed into the powerful White Magic barrier and shattered instantly. "I found out, finally." Her hand began glowing and sparkling in a bright light.
"Dammit!" DJ cursed. "How did you know?!?"
"You told me a few minutes ago, you idiot." Elie grinned. "Your Shura Sword can ONLY absorb Black Magic, but that's not the only one existing magic, ya know..." She suddenly fired an electrical blast from her free hand. "LIGHTNING!"
DJ spun the sword around, it barely blocked the attack.
"I don't get it yet he absorbed a fire attack." Daniel said.
"Yes because the sword had enough Black Magic stored in it to absorb other attacks." Elie explained, she turned to Xel. "I believe the sword is powered by Black Magic by some sort?"
Xel's eyes widened. "You're right.... So if it absorbs enough Black Magic it'll power it so it can absorb any magical attack, but the White Magic barrier weakened it, didn't it?" he asked.
Elie nodded. "The little sword doesn't like being around White Magic spells, I didn't even have to hit it with one for it to weaken...."
"Then you take care of DJ." V said, clashing her sword into Curse's, causing it to shatter.
Elie was already casting another spell, as she leapt high into the air and her TCM was changing its form in a new one.
"Wind, crimson flame. Grant the power of thunder to my hand..."
The TCM got oddly bigger, and all of a sudden, Elie was nose-diving straight towards DJ.
"What the hell?" DJ asked, he held the Shura Sword above his head as it charged with energy, trying to block Elie with another sword beam.
The beam shot by DJ got weaker as it encountered Elie's white spell, she meanwhile was fusing her spell together with her sword, it began sparkling like a unique and large lightning. DJ's beam shattered at the contact with the blade.
"No way you'll escape this, neither with your daughter's help!" Elie said, as she was nose-diving faster towards him. "... DIGGER VOLT!! GRAVITY CORE!!!"
Elie swung her now abnormally heavy sword just when she was closer to DJ, aiming at his own Shura Sword. A tremendous explosion of lightnings followed after the impact.

CRACK! The Shura Sword broke partly, but wasn't completely destroyed, the black gem on the handle was shattered.
"Damn..." DJ cursed. "Now it can't absorb magic anymore.... Opps...." he looked up, his eyes widened. "Did I just say that out loud?"
"Oh yes, you did." Elie smirked, she pushed DJ back with her own strength, then planting her sword into the ground, so that now she had both her hands free. "Long time has past since the last time I used it... What a nostalgia." A black orb appeared between her hands.
"Darkness beyond blackest pitch, deeper than the deepest night! Lord of Darkness, shining like gold upon the Sea of Chaos, I call upon thee, swear myself to thee! Let the fools who stand before us be destroyed by the power you and I possess! GIGA SLAVE!!!!"

DJ threw the sword into the Giga Slave, causing a massive explosion.
"Heh, I'm not done yet." Elie had already a new spell up her sleeve, as DJ threw his own sword.
"Darkness from twilight, crimson from blood that flows, buried in the flow of time. In Thy great name, I pledge myself to darkness! Those who oppose us shall be destroyed by the power you and I possess! DRAGON SLAVE!!!!!"
Elie hurled the spell straight towards DJ, so fast that maybe he couldn't be able to avoid it.

DJ tried to block with a skull-shaped sword which broke, taking the full brunt of the blast, but he still was thrown backwards, but he was still on his feet.
Elie didn't stop, she casted another spell of hers.
"There's no two without three, deary. Lord of the Darkness and Four Worlds, I beseech thy fragments, by all of the power thou possesseth, grant the heavens' wrath to my hand. Unleash the sword of dark, freezing nothingness. By our power, our combined might, let us walk as one along the path of destruction! RAGNA BLADE!!!!!"

This one DJ took the full brunt of. His jacket was badly torn but he could still stand.
"Is he even human?" Treble asked.
"Dunno, and I don't care." Elie said, casting a new spell, but this time just using one hand, as she picked her TCM, which took its normal form again, Eisen Meteor, with her free hand. "ZELAS BRID, PETIT ETHERION." she said, firing the strengthened spell at DJ.
DJ was hit hard this time, a grin came across his face, then it became blank as Elie heard a noise. BONK! Spotty had come up behind DJ and cracked him in the head with a heavy object. DJ crashed to the floor.
Elie blinked twice, surprised to find Spotty just behind DJ and hit him. She then smiled. "Nice one." she said quietly.
Chapter Fourty-Six: The Reaper's Revenge's Last Stand
"You're a fool to challenge me...." Black Heart said, she walked around the ship, throwing her cape around.
"This ends here." Serenade said, she nodded at Megaman.
"This to finish this!" Megaman cried, his Navi Symbol glowing. "SERENADE SOUL!!!!"
Serenade disappeared into Megaman's Navi Symbol. He changed shape and looked more like Serenade now.
"You think that scares me?" Black Heart chuckled, her amulets glowing. "Darkness beyond the twilight, blood that flows through me, King of Darkness who rules over chaos.... Bring your powers to thy unworthy hands.... DARKNESS DRAGON SLAVE!!!"
A large charge of energy formed in Black Heart's hands, it looked much like a Dragon Slave, but darker. She hurled it at Megaman.
"Nice try...." Megaman held up a hand and deflected the attack.
Black Heart teleported, she appeared near the mast. "I can handle a throwing back trick." she grinned. "Darkness beyond the blackest pitch, deeper then the night, Lord of Darkness, hear my plea, and destroy those who stand before me! DARKNESS GIGA SLAVE!!!"
This attack looked more like a Giga Slave, but as Black Heart hurled it Megaman grabbed the attack and threw it back.
"This is taking a strain on the Soul Union...." Megaman muttered to himself.
"Oh this is getting fun..." Black Heart avoided the reflected attack, her amulets glowed brightly. "I purge myself to the Lord of Chaos, bring to thee the power to destroy that which stands before me. Help me finish what I started, to erase my opponent from existence. Darkness Twilight!!!"
A shockwave surrounded Megaman, zapping him from all directions. He could only deflect a few, but he was hit several times.
"Damn...." Megaman cursed.
Black Heart floated down, laughing. "Your little power doesn't work against my magic!" she proclaimed. "Flare Arrow!"
A series of small fire arrows appeared in her hands, she hurled them at Megaman.
These Megaman was able to deflect, but they were only a distraction....
Black Heart closed her eyes and lifted her hands into the air. "Heave me now, dark lord of the world, infuse me with thy power to steal thee from thy foe.... DARKNESS POWER DRAIN!!!"
5 towers came up from the ground, surrounding Megaman, they zapped him with a dark purple energy blast.
"It's a power drainer!" Serenade's voice boomed in Megaman's head.
Megaman was whaling in pain, as his power was slowly being drained. There seemed to be no escape. Megaman was almost ready to pass out....
SLASH!!! BOOM!!!! The towers exploded as a flash came by and destroyed each tower. Megaman could barely see at this point, and collapsed at Serenade came out from his Navi Symbol, returning him to normal.
"Kage!!!" Serenade's eyes widen as she saw Kage land near her.
"Are you alright my queen?" Kage asked.
Serenade nodded, as she saw Vendetta appeared and slashed his sword at Black Heart.
"Elmekia Lance!" Black Heart hurled a spell at Vendetta, who slashed the lances one at a time.
"You'll have to do better." Vendetta said.
"Like this?" Devil Master appeared behind Vendetta, stabbing the Navi in the back.
Then Devil Master didn't look so well, he looked tired and power drained.
"What's wrong with you?" Black Heart hissed.
"DJ..... He's been defeated...." Devil Master growled.
Black Heart shook her head. "Impossible. I gave him the Shura Sword."
"Believe it." Roll said behind the 2 evil Navis, she had Necronus pinned down with the Muramasa.
"Time to delete this Navi...." D-Nightmare said.
"GET THESE IDIOTS OFF OF ME!!!!" Necronus hollered.
But all the zombie Navis were gone, deleted.
"Get out of there." Edward's voice could be heard. "The battle's over, there's no point...."
"But sir, where are you?" Necronus asked.
"I got out while DJ was fighting." Edward explained.
Necronus logged out, just as D-Nightmare was ready to slash the Navi.
"Dammit...." D-Nightmare cursed.
"You've lost, father..." Ailias said.
"Never...." Devil Master said, his body transformed into a beam of light that shot into Black Heart's amulets. The Key of Time entered her body as well.
"Gaaahhh...." Black Heart leaned over, her eyes exploding with black beams of light. Her body transformed and took a new look. She had longer, pitch black hair, a jewel on her forehead, black horns sticking out of her head, a black outfit with stingers sticking out of her shoulders, a long black and purple cape, large black boots, and black gloves.
"It's not over yet...." Black Heart said, a much, much, deeper voice than before.
Black Heart opened her eyes, a shockwave knocked everyone off the ship. The Tsunami took major damage.
BOOM! Everyone landed on another ship..... The Black Refractor!!!
"Who brought over my ship?" Bugger asked.
"Woof!" Damnation stood at the wheel, grinning with the keys in his mouth.
"Good boy...." Bugger said.
"How'd he get the data for the ship?" Megaman asked.
"......... Let's just say this is his Operator's copy of the ship program...." Bugger said.
"There's something you're not telling us...." Roll said.
"Let's not worry about that right now...." ImPal said.
"Yeah, let's worry about that!" Teal pointed to the ship.
"Yeah but now what do we do?" Purplechu asked.
"Lan, can you hear me?" Megaman called out.
"Barely...." Lan said. "The UnderNet is interfering with the PET."
"I know, but you have to try to send me a chip!" Megaman cried.
"Which one?" Lan asked.
"Try the Cinnamon Soul, maybe I can power up the chip she gave me!" Megaman cried.
"Cinnamon Soul, Navi Chip in!" Lan threw the chip into his PET.
.......... But nothing happened.
"Drat! The interference is getting worse...." Lan said, pounding his fist into the wall.
"Don't worry about that..." Rezo said, he stood still behind Megaman. "Use this." he handed Megaman a strange chip.
"What's this?" Megaman asked.
"A little something that will help." Rezo said. "Combine it with the Force Metal Chip.... And hurry!"
Megaman nodded, he pressed the two chips together, as they entered his body. A flashing rainbow light surround him, covering him in light.
"What's happening to him?" Roll asked.
"That chip contained data on Lina, let's just say a copy of some of her powers when she was transformed into a Navi...." Rezo explained. "Combined with the Force Metal Chip...."
Megaman emerged from the light. His helmet was black, with long red hair. His shoulders were covered with black straps with red orbs in them. A long, blue and purple cape covered his back. His Navi Symbol was in the center of his chest, surrounded by a red and yellow top, and a belt around his waist. His legs were now red, following brown boots. His arms were black, with an amulet around each wrist. There was an amulet on the belt, and one around his neck.
".... It creates a Lina.... I mean, Elie Soul." Rezo finished.
"But wait, how will Megaman be able to handle the power of Etherion?" Kage asked.
"This form does not draw from the power of Etherion, only Elie has that power herself." Rezo explained. "If anyone else tried that, their head would explode."
"But he can use the same magic Black Heart calls on.... Right?" Bugger asked.
Rezo nodded. "Correct."
Megaman slowly opened his eyes, and raised a hand. "Ray Wing....." he spoke, as he flew up to the Reaper's Revenge.
"So you think dressing like Inverse will save you?" Black Heart asked, black flames now surrounded her body.
Megaman didn't speak, he gave Black Heart a cold look.
Black Heart smirked, as she began her spells. "I call upon the Lord of Darkness, bring to thee the power of the gods to bring fourth the ultimate power! Give me all your strength as we crush this foe together!"
Her flames grew in size, as her amulets glowed.
"Black charge of darkness that is blacker than thy night, purge me with your darkness so that I can become one with your power, infuse me with the power to destroy all those who oppose me! DARK CHARGE BLAST OF DESTRUCTION!!!"
A spiral whirlwind of darkness surrounded Black Heart. Suddenly, tall beams of black light surround Megaman.
"Vas Gurude...." Megaman said, holding out his arms.
A barrier of white magic surrounded him, protecting him from the attack, but it broke it a matter of seconds.
"Impossible...." Black Heart said. "My power should have destroyed that barrier and still got him!"
Black flames surrounded Black Heart, as she chanted another new spell. "Great goddess of darkness, lord of which power comes from the deepest of darkest souls, grant me your power, grant me your strength, lend me thy power as if thee were thy own, and destroy all those who oppose us! Caliptic Nightmare!"
A new spell emerged. A space portal surrounded her as it exploded into a massive shockwave and then turned into a charge of power, which was sent in all directions.

Megaman was hit, he was badly damaged.
"Valis Wall!" Rezo spun his staff around, a barrier appeared to protect the group as Serenade tried to reflect the attack.
The Black Refractor was protected, but Megaman could barely stand. Megaman closed his eyes.
"Blessed, humble hand of God. Breath of Mother Earth, I pray thee come before me, show your great compassion to this person and deliver them! RECOVERY!"
Megaman casted a healing spell on himself, restoring his data.
"Lord of the Darkness and the Four Worlds, I call upon you, grant me all the power that you possess!" Megaman muttered, his amulets glowed as he said the spell.
"Hrmph, you're a little pest..." Black Heart growled.
"........" Megaman stood up, he held his hands out. “Lord of Dreams that Terrify, Sword of the cold dark void, free yourself from the heavens bonds, become one with my power, one with my body, and let us walk the path of destruction together! Power that can smash even the souls of the Gods! Ragna Blade!”
The Ragna Blade appeared in his hands, he grasped the sword and chanted another spell.
"Darkness beyond blackest pitch, deeper than the deepest night. King of Darkness who shines like gold upon the Sea of Chaos; I call upon thee, swear myself to thee. Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I possess... GIGA SLAVE!"
The Giga Slave surrounded the Ragna Blade, Megaman held it tightly.
"Darkness beyond the twilight, crimson beyond blood that flows, buried in the flow of time in thy great name, here I pledge myself to darkness. May all the fools who stand before us be destroyed by the power you and I possess. Dragon Slave!"
The Dragon Slave wrapped around the Giga Slave, which was still surrounding the Ragna Blade.
"DRAGON GIGA RAGNA BLADE!!!!!" Megaman hurled the combined 3 spells at Black Heart.
Black Heart didn't have much time to react, she quickly said a spell. "Dark Lord that powers this world, bring thee to myself and take this shell to use as thy own. Impower me with the great power you posses! Bring me the strength to destroy my foe! LORD OF NIGHTMARES POWER BEAM!" she fired a beam from her hands.
The beam flew into the Dragon Giga Ragna Blade, but it crashed into the spell and broke apart, as Megaman's spell was more powerful, the Dragon Giga Ragna Blade continued its course, it wasn't even slowed down by Black Heart's attack. The spell crashed into Black Heart, the stingers on her shoulders broke, her cape was torn, and the horns were broken.
"Im... Impossible!!!!" Black Heart cried, her amulets were cracked. "How?!?!?"
Megaman slowly walked towards Black Heart. "You are going to pay for your crimes......" he said.
"Fireball!" Black Heart hurled a fireball, using what was left of her power.
Megaman caught the fireball with a single hand, he threw it back at her.
"In this time, and in this hour, I call upon the sacred power....." Megaman began chanting, a spell which Black Heart had never heard before. "Key which holds all time to unfold, bring to me thy power, that which is untold."
A bright light shot out of Black Heart's eyes. The Key of Time exploded out of Black Heart's body. Megaman caught the key and pointed it at Black Heart.
A massive beam charged into the Key of Time, it fired right into Black Heart, she was destroyed in a matter of seconds, her data crumbled to pieces as the Reaper's Revenge began to break apart.
Megaman felt dizzy, as he collapsed once his new form broke apart. He was passed out on the crumbling ship.
"Megaman!" Roll cried.
Serenade flew up, she found Megaman and grabbed him, and took him off the ship, right before it exploded. She landed softly on the Black Refractor.
"Megaman! Megaman!" Roll grabbed Megaman and shook him. "Say something! PLEASE!!!!"
"....... Can someone kill Rezo for me now?" Megaman asked, weakly. "Because I NEVER want to use that chip again!!!"
Everyone laughed. Roll kissed Megaman and then hugged him tightly.
"But what happened to the key?" Ailias asked.
"It was destroyed with the ship...." Serenade said. "The remains will scatter into the Recycle Area...."
"Where they belong." Kage added.
"We did it!" Lan cried. "It's over...."
"Then let's head back up!" Ruth said, standing by the elevator.

Back upstairs, Elie stood over DJ, Spotty was on the other side.
"So how should we dispose of him?" Elie asked.
"Hey, that Edward is gone." Kathryn pointed out.
"He'll live to fight another day...." V said. "Unlike DJ....." she drew a sword.
"I imagine you've waited a long time for this..." Elie said.
Then DJ jumped up and threw up two swords as he was between Elie & Spotty, one he plunged into Spotty and the other he aimed at Elie.
Elie widened her eyes. "YOU BASTARD!!" She swiftly avoided the slash but couldn't block the attack on Spotty. She swiftly ran her sword through DJ and quickly ran over to Spotty's side when she pulled it out.
"Gah...." Spotty was bleeding badly out of his stomach.
"Damn you!" V growled, jumping into action with her sword.
"YOU!!!" Daniel growled. "Gavv Flare!"
"You didn't think I'd have one last trick left?" DJ asked, he swiftly jumped across the room, and held out a device. "I have my means of escape." he pressed a button, and was teleported out.
"How'd he do that?" Jane asked.
"He must have connected to the DA in here and used it to transport to a different area....." Xel said, he turned to Spotty, who was bleeding badly.
"Spotty..." Elie said quietly, picking Spotty's head up and holding him carefully. She placed her hand on his stomach and began casting a quick Recovery Spell.
".... Ugh...." Spotty stirred.
"Don't you dare to die..." Elie hissed softly, she enforced her healing spell a little on Spotty.
Spotty opened his eyes. "...... Did someone get the number of that sword so I can kill them?" he asked weakly.
Elie raised her eyebrow, she then shook her head. "Don't speak, idiot. Spare your energies." she said quietly, she was actually glad he was healing slowly.
"Is he going to be okay?" Treble asked, worried.
Elie was almost done with the healing. "Yeah, you're stuck with him, kid." she joked after she was sure Spotty was safe.
"Very funny." Spotty groaned.
Elie cracked a smile. She stood up after healing Spotty. "Hey, can you get up?" she asked.
Spotty slowly stood on his feet, a little dizzy. "Yeah." he said. "Thanks Elie..."
"Heh... No prob." Elie put a hand on Spotty's shoulder for support.
"No prob?" Xel asked, arching an eyebrow. "Then why were you cursing at him not to die?"
Elie instantly shot a glare at Xel. "None of your business." she hissed.
"What happened up here?" Ruth asked, as the elevator arrived.
"Nothing much, we kicked their butts but DJ & Edward got away." Elie explained, after shooting another death glare at Xel.
Xel whistled and ignored Elie.
"Stupid moron." Elie hissed under her breath, not heard by Xel.
"How did things go in the Net?" V asked.
"Piece of cake." Lan said. "The Key of Time was destroyed, along with Black Heart."
Elie sighed. Though she wanted to believe that, she was sure Black Heart would find someway to return. "At least she's gone for now...."
"Say who actually won the tournament anyway?" Brandon asked.
"Haven't you idiots figured it out by now?" Xel groaned. "There was no tournament, it was all to stop my father from using that key to destroy you all."
"You were brought here because a great gathering of strong Navis was needed to destroy his Navis." V continued. "You all fought well."
"That's it?" Daniel asked.
"A thank you and here's the door?" Anthony asked.
"Sounds like it to me." Lizzie said.
V sighed, and looked at Ruth, who pressed a button on the wall. A large theater system came up, with a large box with at least 50 Jack In Ports.
"Want to have a rematch everyone?" Xel asked, he held a chip in his hand. "I guess I could still give this to a winner....." he turned to his PET. "Rezo, inform the Solo Navis."
"ALL RIGHT!!!!!" Lan cheered.
"WHOOT! REMATCH!!!" Ryan jumped up and down.
"This time I'll beat you Daniel!" Keith proclaimed.
"In your dreams...." Daniel said.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Jake asked.
"I'll teach you boys!" Spotty cried.
Elie held her head. "This is going to be a LONG day...." she groaned.

Everyone jumped to the Jack In Ports, holding their PETs out.
"JACK IN, POWER UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The End
