*Elsewhere.*
Fire: Ok, we voted to find that mysterious laughter rather than seek safety.
Skull: Sadly, yes.
Bomb: Who do you think it is? Jet maybe?
Elec: No, we would have seen some stupid weapon by now.
Fire: The toast one almost got me last time.
Skull: Let us never speak of that again.
Elec: Amen to that.
*As the group rounds a corner, something ahead sparkles*
Bomb: There's something up ahead!
Skull: ...It looks like a candycane.
Elec: *pulls it out of the ground* It IS a candycane.
Fire: You fool, put that down!
Elec: I'm hungry though.
Bomb: It's probably another one of Jet's traps. Here, give it to me.
Skull: Do you know what you're doing?
Bomb: Of course. *cups his hands around the candycane tightly*
Fire: Oh sh--*FOOMPH!*
Elec: Daaayamn. Are your hands explosion proof or something?
Bomb: Yup. *holds out his hands to reveal charred black hands*
Skull: We need to be careful. There may be more traps.
Number: HEY GUYS!1
Fire: Sweet jebus! That scared the hell outta me!
Nova: Sorry. Sorry, I broke off from the group a few minutes ago to take a leak...what needs done?
Skull: We're trying to stay safe while we search for a psycho navi...a leak?
Number: A cicuit panel had a data leak. I took it. I could use it to program up some useful tools. Anyway I saw some orange guy in shades in the distance running this way.
Elec: Did he ever laugh like "MWAHAHAHAHAHA!" or anything like that?
Number: Uh...no.
Bomb: Then it probably isn't him.
Fire: There's enough of us to split up. We'll cover a lot more ground.
Skull: Number, Fire, You two go that direction and try to keep getting higher so you can see all around for suspicous looking areas or navis. If you do, investigate. And for Pete's sake, try to find where Ice landed! Bomb and Elec, come with me. We'll check out that laughter...
*Bomb's shoulder sparks shoot up and Elec's back-bolts spit electricity*
Fire: Okay, lets move out. I just hope Ice isn't mad about the recliner incident.
Elec: Hey...I just remembered that it couldn't have been Jet laughing!
Skull: Hmm?
Elec: It was a WOMAN'S voice!
Bomb: What!?!
Number: That's impossible!
Elec: Well, maybe we're in for a surprise.
???: Damn right you're in for a surprise!
All others:...
Skull: For cryin' out loud! How much longer are you going to hide in the shadows and just make us nervous? Whatever you're supposed to do, you might as well come out and do it! Now!
???:...bah, well I guess my entrance will be dramatic enough.
*An explosion erupts a few panels away and smoke fills the area. The stranger's laughter resounding until the smoke cleared, where the new figure stood.*
???: Hello, boys.
Skull: *jaw drops (literally)*
Bomb: ...Ba-da-boom!
Number: Wow...
Elec: I can see sparks flying...
Fire: *grinning* Heeeeeeyyyy
???: What, you've never seen such a damn sexy navi dressed in tight black from head to toe wearing knee high boots?
Number: *falls unconcious to the ground*
Elec: N.....n....no...
Bomb: I'm gonna explode!
Skull: Uuunnhhh...mmmf!
Fire: *drools* Who are you?
???: Oh....you can just call me...Shan.
Bomb: And that I will!
Fire: Shaddup, she's mine!
Skull: Mmf! Urrhhh!
Elec: Uh...you know she IS our enemy...
Fire: She's a SEXY enemy though! ^_^
Bomb: *puts Skull's jaw back in*
Skull: It's about time. What is your game...Shan?
Shan: I'm no WWW operator. You probably think I am though, but I am more of an assassin. I operate on secret orders that not even my operator can disclose.
Fire: Ooooh, covert.
Elec: What do you want with us though!?
Shan: Destruction. I was sent to kill you all, for the terror caused by the Genjibo city incident. I'll have my fun with you, first though. *evil sexy grin*
Bomb: I'm first! I want eternal sexy torture!
Fire: Hot damn! Second!
Skull: Ooookay....
Elec: I'll take sexy torture, hold the torture.
Shan: You will soon feel true terror...just a warning...later boys. *dissapears in a blast of purple smoke*
Fire: Weeell, that was a pleasant encounter.
Bomb: Baby!
Elec: Damn!
Skull:That was some TIGHT clothing.
Elec: What do we do now though?
Fire: I know what I'm doing later!
Skull: We should pursue her. It may be a very dangerous venture, and it could be a trap.
Bomb: Sweeeeet!
Number: Ugh....what did I miss?
All: Oh....nothing.
Skull: *Thinking* That female navi can seriously mess up our focus. She IS a navi that was sent to delete us. I better get some help from Ryan on this one.
*beep beep beep.... beep beep beep.*
Ryan: Hey skull, find anything?
Skull: Ryan, I'll need your advice about this. We ran into a enemy Navi, while searching the perimiter.
Ryan: Did you delete it?
Skull: Oh god no. here, I'll give you a composite sketch of the navi.
Dominic: Hey! LET ME SEE! WOW! She's a hottie!
Ryan: WOULD YOU GET OFF ME!
Dominic: Awww, you don't like me on your back?
*Ryan glares at Dominic.*
Dominic: fine....*Dominic goes off to get naughty pics from his laptop.*
Ryan: I don't see why you won't delete her.
Skull: Let's say I was held back by an extra bone.
Ryan: .... that is a disturbing mental image.
Skull: My Focus is totally messed up around this navi. I can't think straight, and neither can the others...ESPECIALLY not the others.
Ryan: This could pose a threat. Well, just try to avoid the mysterious Navi until we can think of something.
Skull: Ehh, got it.
*Off near Iceman's landing site, the little blue eskimo wanders off aimlessly while his operator looks for a new jack-in point.*
Ice: What was the deal with the tall guy? And why did you freak out like that?
Gary: In our business, you can never be too careful. Besides, he scared me.
Ice: Shouldn't we be worried about Cam?
Gary: Yeah, he's even scarier.
Ice: I mean he could be in danger if that guy was just lying about being his guardian to get to him.
Gary: Oh right. Well, I'm sure he'll be fine. He's got the rest of the guys at the base to protect him if neccessary...or more likely he'll be protecting them.
Ice: Just in case, maybe we should head back to warn him.
Gary: Well, I suppose, won't the rest of the group miss us though?
Ice: They shot me out of a chair, so I'm guessing no.
Gary: Alright, jacking out. Why did they put you in that chair anyway?
Ice: They probably thought it was supposed to take me somewhere important.
*Iceman is standing with his back to a big neon sign that says "Secret Lab Ahead" just as he teleports out.* 2
*Jet examines the group and the mysterious female navi with his binoculars.*
Jet: Hot damn
LV: What... what is it?
Jet: No...Nothing, get back to your post. Whoa check out that bitmapping.
LV: Are you alright Jet?
Jet: Never been better.
LV: Let me have the binoculars.
Jet: Uhm.... in a little while.
LV: Now.
Jet: No.
LV: Now!
Jet: No!
LV: How about now?
*The female navi disappears.*
Jet: Sure here you go. We need to get those damn meddling navis, and their little dog too.
LV: Uhm... what dog, and why are your pants bulging?
*Jet blushes.*
LV: All I see are those rebel navis. And they're all dudes... hey... wait Jet, I didn't know you swung.... THAT way...
Jet: ... Jet: Come on, its time to make our overly dramatic entrance.
*Jet throws a couple of smoke bombs down to the ground in front of the group of navis. They explode into a large cloud of dust.
Elec: *cough, cough*
Skull: The hell?
Jet's Voice: I am the navi that flaps in the night, I am your mom when.. no wait... thats not right. For justice and love I am sailor... no... I'll get it eventually...
*The dust settles.*
Skull: Oh, it's just you again
Jet: What do you mean "Oh, its just you again!???!"
*Outside, Nijubu continues walking, leaving the empty phone booth and flaming corpses behind him*
Nij: Well damn, that guy sure left fast. Who was he supposed to be, anyway? Geez...I sure hope I find the Prince soon. If not, no big loss. He's such a royal pain in my ass.
*He stops short as another thought comes to him.*
Nij: Oh, wait. He IS the only hope left for the entire planet of Aeos. Man, out of ALL the Magi eligible for Head Knight, I WOULD get picked to be the babysitter.....That jackass Joseph is such a showoff...Okay, new train of thought. What do I know about his location? Something about a "Viral Infection." Yuck. Sounds pretty nasty. If this planet's electronic connections are as advanced as I hear they are, then it should be easy to find something on the worldwide systems.....Viral Infection.....hmm..........
*Nijubu continues his walk. Overhead, the night sky is a sea of murky black, with a single great white flotsam drifting endlessly in the distance.*
*Elsewhere, in the sewer.* Blackbelt: Hey Bass. You ready for some fighting?
Bass: YES!!!!
Blackbelt: Okay then. Jack in! Bass.EXE! Transmit!
*Bass jacks in and Blackbelt starts briefing him on his mission*
Blackbelt: Ok Bass. Your mission is to destroy a certain Navi.
Bass: Why?
Blackbelt: She was sent to delete all of the VI navis. And none of the others can delete her because they're all perverts.
Bass: She?
Blackbelt: She.
Bass:......Are we the only ones with clean minds?
Blackbelt: Probably. Now find this Female Navi and delete her.
Bass: What's she look like?
Blackbelt: Like this... *Blackbelt sends Bass a picture of Shan, which he got from Ryan's PET*
Bass: No wonder the others can't think straight when they see her...anyway, I'm off.
Blackbelt: Good luck.
*Back at the site of the confrontation.*
Jet: What do you mean "Oh, its just you!?"
Skull: Exactly what I said, now what do you want so we can go about our business?
*Jet's circuits pulse with rage*
Jet: You don't take me seriously is that it?
Elec: Well we take you....*chuckles* We take you serious *burst out into laughter* I can't even keep a straight face when saying that.
*Jet brandishes his double ended saber*
Jet: Let's see how tough you are now.
Bomb: Oh no guys, hes gonna singe our skin with that laser!
*Everyone bursts out laughing, even the Life Virus behind him.*
Jet: What are you laughing at?
LV: No...nothing. It was just funny thats all.
Jet: My weapons are the best on the net! Guaranteed to take any Navi out! As a matter of fact I believe one of your group was eliminated by one of my traps.
Skull: Who you mean Ice? He's just gullible, we got him to sit in that chair.
Jet: That.... can't.... be....
Scuzzy: Jet what's going on?
Jet: The navi's... there making fun of me, I think I'm gonna cry.
Scuzzy: Jet?
Jet: Psych! I'm gonna kick their ass.
*Jet prepares to give himself a boost of speed when Scuzzy cuts him off*
Scuzzy: Theres been a change of plans, I'm going to jack you out and jack you back in closer to the mainframe.
Jet: What? Why me and LV were supposed to be in first line defense!
Scuzzy: There's.... a spy Jet, a government spy.
*Jet paused. His anger at the navi's quickly passed.*
Jet: I understand.
Scuzzy: All the data I could get is that it's a female navi and that the operator is somewhere within a ten mile radius. I'll search out here while you do it online. This is what joining the WWW was all about, finding out what we could about ...
Jet: I know. Jacking out.
*Jet disappears in a burst of light.*
*Skull looks on at his fellow Navis.*
Bomb: What was that all about?
Elec: Something about a female Navi?
Number: Wait, a female Navi, think it's our mystery girl? Skull: Could be Elec: Well we have to go find her before Jet does!
Skull: She wants to delete us... remember?
Life Virus: And so do I!
*The group turns to see the Life Virus fully charged up, they all narrowly avoid being hit by his Dream Beam.*
Skull: Maybe finding that female Navi would be a better idea than hanging out around here.
Elec: Only problem is we're gonna have to take the long way around unlike Jet, and this guy will probably chase us the whole way.
Skully: Bombman.EXE, you take care of him.
Bomb: Why me? I wanna find the girl too!
Elec: Well it's like this... SEE YA!
*The other navis run away putting some distance between themselves and Bombman.*
Bomb: Hey wait for...
*LV has Bomb cornered, weapons fully concentrated.*
Bomb: Me.....*gulp*
LV: Your friends have left you to die?
Bomb: No, they left me to blast you to pieces...
LV: We'll see about that.
*Life Virus sets up a large shield and begins charging*
*Bomb uses the Mine chip to put a mine right under LV*
Bomb: Better not lift your leg! Hah!
LV: I do not need to move to destroy you.
*Bomb starts throwing explosives as fast as he can with both hands, not to destroy the Life Aura but rather to send shockwaves through it*
*LV stumbles within his Aura and the mine goes off, which makes LV stop charging up*
LV: I can't charge up in plain view, or he'll take control while I do...I need some way to distract him while I charge.
Bomb: You say something!?
*Bomb pulls up a bomb*
*LV opens portals in the floor and sends swarms of small Scuttles.*
*LV resumes charging up in his field.*
Bomb: Oh, you're pushing it now!
*Bomb rolls the bomb as hard as he can straight into the group of Scuttles.*
Scuttles: Screeee!
*Some clones are blown up, but others race towards Bomb shooting tiny bursts of energy*
*As Bomb conjures more bombs, LV finishes charging and summons meteors.*
*Bomb looks up just in time and throws the bomb straight into an oncoming meteor*
*Ashes from the meteor blast over the perimiter, scorching the LV clones*
LV: Why won't you die!?
Bomb: Because I have to go find Shan and make sweet love to her?
LV: ...Ohhkay...Time to finally test my new weapons.
*LV shoots several small bursts from his shoulders and forms laser claws from his knuckles.*
Bomb:...eep.
*Bomb struggles to avoid the new wave of attacks. Finally he uses his trusty Smoke Bomb*
LV: *cough cough* Blast!
Bomb: That's MY line! *the voice is faint as it is heard in the distance. The smoke clears and Bombman is gone.*
LV: Hrrr...back to the mainframe for a recharge, I'll let Wily's new minions take care of them.
*Life Virus teleports out.*3
*In Wily's lab, the computer screen flashes to life with LV's image.*
LV: Uh...master? I think I need repairs again.
Wily: WHAT?!? You were at full power! And what happened to those upgrades I gave you?
LV: He...caught me by surprise, I'll be ready for him next time.
Wily: *sigh* You'd better, alright, Jack out and re-upload your files. And take this when you're ready to go back out, it should come in handy. *downloads a program into LV's PET as LV gets in at the same time.*
LV: Okay, what is it? Looks like a big syringe.
Wily: It's the "Tainted Needle", it has two settings: drain and inject. Set it to drain and if you manage to stab a foe you'll be able to steal large amounts of their own energy, even some of their powers. The inject mode hasn't been fully tested, but it is supposed to inject WWW virus data into the navi's CPU, if it works, it would definatley make the target a WWW slave, but it might have some side-effects on the navi's physical state.
LV: Heh heh, sounds like my kind of weapon. I'll enjoy this.
Wily: Sorry, but it is still in experimental stages, each mode can only be used once before I can re-upload the data.
LV: Hm, there just HAD to be a catch. Fine then, I'll choose my targets wisely...4Anyway, I suggest using our new allies to take care of this mess.
Wily: Drillman and Bubbleman are already on patrol. As for the others, I want them to conserve their energy for when my Cybergeddon plan is finally set into motion. My organization is particularly busy at the moment. First I had to get my other base up and running however those cursed Viral Infection fools derstroyed it before it could even finish construction. This smelly warehouse will have to suffice until my floating island in the Demon Waters is finished. All this and my sideline moneymaking schemes continue to fail. Our base in the Undernet was destroyed a few weeks ago and that Gospel project ended a little prematurely, and bringing YOU back to life has barely helped any.
LV:...
Wily: *sigh* ANYway, if I can work my charms, you can at least have ONE more partner for this battle. He's our newest ally, I met him shortly after I lost contact with Planetman. He's not as obedient as I would have my operatives, but if I can bait him with the right information, he'll be here in an instant.
LV: I have heard nothing of this new operative, you didn't even tell me about Planetman's base being destroyed. I am your finest creation, why are you leaving me in the dark and giving me such menial tasks?
Wily: Hah! Please, you know very well you're hardly my greatest creation. You were supposed to be the final phase in my EndGame project and look where we are now! I have an even better way to destroy NetSociety with Cybergeddon and I'm afraid you're not a part of it. I only brought you back because I needed an extra grunt and I had a shortage of original navi designs to use.
LV:...
Wily: Well, enough friendly chatter, get back out there and do your job.
LV: Yes...Lord Wily. (Idiot...)
*Back in the network.*
Number: Damn, an intersection.
Skull: It would take us a while to search it out at this rate.
Fire: Umm, Skull? What are we searching for?
Skull: ... Why is it that I'm always having a difficult time with you?
Fire: I dunno, maybe it's because.....I dunno.
Skull: We're looking for a WWW lock. So we can let the guys into the warehouse. I think we should split up.
Elec: Didn't we do that last time, and almost got deleted?
Skull: I'm sure we'll be ok this time. Not many threats to us. Except maybe Shan.
Bomb: Shan? *starts to drool.* I second the spliting up!
Skull: To make sure Bomb dosn't get himself deleted, Its gonna be me, Number and Bomb. And Elec, and Fire.
Fire: I hope I run into Shan!
Bomb: Me too!
*Fire gives a competitive glare to Bomb*
Fire: I bet you I'll find her first!
Bomb: Well, I bet you I'll swap data with her first.
Fire: Grr!
Elec: Let's just go.
Skull: Keep your com link on, just incase we need to communicate.
Elec: Sure. Let's go Fire... Fire?
Skull: Heh, you better watch him. Come on Bomb.... what the?!
*Bomb and Fire can be seen in the distance running top speed to find Shan.*
Elec, Number, and Skull: *sigh*
1 - Before this scene in the original RP, Numberman made a sudden, inexplicable exit since his real life counterpart was forced offline for a few months. This scene also adds Nova to the group for the first time. Unfortunately, somebody forgot about Nova sometime later and he was introduced to the group AGAIN as if it were the first time. My solution? Delete Numberman's farewell scene since there was no real reason for the character to leave just because Fandango had to, then replace all of Nova's lines with Number's so Nova can still make an appearance later and have it make sense. So from this point up until just after he wakes up after fainting, Numberman is what used to be Novaman. At that point the Nova character was forgotten and everybody stopped writing about him until his second appearance, so wherever you see a line by Numberman after that, I either added it or swapped his name in for another character that had an abundance of extra lines.
2 - This entire scene with Iceman used to be the scene where he just up and disappears mysteriously. I replaced it with this scene to make more sense.
3 - In the original scene, Bombman beat the LifeVirus with ease. Since I want to build LV up as a strong villain, I edited the ending slightly to show LV gaining the upper hand.
4 - The original scene ends here. I added the rest to add some background on EXE3 and LV's revival, and I also added in some foreshadowing of LV's eventual betrayal.
