A/N: So this is an idea I had running in my head for a few days now, and I finally decided to try write it out.

Set shortly after the end of the manga.

Criticism and opinions are always welcome! I'll be happy to know what you think.

Enjoy~!

~Chapter 1~


"Lei!"

A sudden yell was heard and echoed through the corridors of a big office in one of the top CyberNet city buildings with none to answer it.

"Just where is that girl now?" A desperate and exhausted voice exhaled.

"Probably on the roof again, sir." A younger, second voice answered it.

"Remind her that she has an urgent message delivery meeting in 5 minutes, and AGAIN, that breaks are to be no longer than 30 minutes!" The first voice said, irritated.

"Yes, sir."

On the rooftop of the very same office sat a young, female NetNavi with long, straight brown hair collected into a high thick ponytail that came out of the top back of her mostly white helmet and all the way down to her waist, kicking her feet back and forth in boredom.

Her eyes were fixed at the virtual sky above her, which matched their color perfectly. Humming a familiar tune to herself, she was lost in thought, as usual.

"Lei! There you are, finally!" A voice suddenly came from behind her, surprising her.

The female Navi turned to its direction.

"Oh, Dean, what's up?" She asked, looking at him with curious eyes.

The male Navi sighed deeply.

"What do you mean 'what's up'?! The boss is looking everywhere for you! We have a meeting, remember?" He said, raising an eyebrow at her.

"Eh?"

It took her a few moments to process the information, while both of them just stared at each other with dumb expressions.

"Oh, crap!" The female Navi called, jumped to her feet and began flying back to the building's entrance door, then through the halls of the office as fast as she could with her co-worker right behind her.

"Will you ever stop being such an air-head?" Dean asked, facepalming, "I know you're not doing this on purpose but the boss isn't taking your carefree attitude very well, you know?"

Lei's mouth broke into a troubled smile.

"Ugh, I know, Sorry! I was just thinking about how weird it is for the sky to always be either day or night here, I mean, what if there was a middle? What if the real world has a middle.." She turned around to her co-worker, now flying in reverse.

He only laughed.

"Pfft- Why do you always care about all these trivial things?" He asked, shaking his head at her.

"They may be trivial to you," She explained while poking him in the forehead, "But they're very interesting to me!"

The male Navi sighed with a defeated smile, "You're so weird."

'Thank god we are able to fly!' She thought to herself as they finally reached the meeting room, and just barely in time, as the meeting seemed to have literally just started.

Both Navis took advantage of all the attention focused on the boss as he spoke, and tiptoed into the room pretending to be invisible.

"Thank you everyone for coming ON TIME." The boss suddenly said, shifting the tone of his sentence while glaring at Lei and Dean. Lei tried not to make eye contact, while Dean could only smile nervously, as he continued; "We have this week's message delivery arrangements, so let's get to business, shall we?"

A few moments later, after everyone had already received their stack of letters to deliver, the meeting was over. But before anyone could go back to their duties, a quick, sudden impatient knock was heard on the glass door. It was one of the receptionists, wearing a very mortified expression on his face.

"Oh thank god I was still in time!" He exhaled with a relief as he let himself into the room, "Boss! We have one more! And it's..

From MegaMan!"

Everyone stood quiet for a few seconds, but all shared the exact same thoughts; 'Megaman? -The- MegaMan that's CyberWorld famous for saving everyone on multiple occasions?'

The boss was still in shock for a couple more moments, but he quickly regained his cool, "Well! What an honor! We'll be happy to service the hero of the CyberWorld!" He announced proudly.

"B..boss, there's just one issue.. The letter.." The receptionist swallowed hard as the color drained from his face.

"Yes? What about it?" The boss asked, his expression turning confused.

"It is addressed to Bass, sir."

The receptionist's words were left to hover in the air.

For the second time, the entire room went quiet. This time it was for a good solid 5 minutes, in which just like before, everyone shared the exact same thoughts; 'Bass?! As in 'Black Shadow' Bass? The vicious NetNavi that kills and absorbs other strong NetNavis solely for power?'

The first to speak was, of course, the boss. "I.. See. Well.. W-we are professionals, people! So let's get this over with; Who wants to do it?" He said, trying to hide the amount of fear in his voice, but failing hard, "Don't forget it is part of the job to deliver to any recipient, no matter who that might be!"

Dean let out a small, cynical laugh.

"Yeah, easy for him to say, he sure isn't going to be the one to deliver it.." He leaned in and whispered to Lei, who only blinked at what was going on before her.

"Come on! I'll even make a deal with you, whoever takes this upon himself is free from any other delivery for the whole week!" He pressed. But after a long while of literally nobody to volunteer to potentially be killed and absorbed by the horrible Bass over a damn letter, he raised his finger in the air.

"Alright then! if I HAVE to choose, The one to do it shall be..." He said, and pointed to no other than..

Lei.

Her blue eyes widened.

"What!" Dean immediately protested, "Sir! You can't be serious sending Lei to this mission!"

The boss only smirked.

"Why, I think that Lei here is perfect for the job! She most certainly has enough courage in her, especially to make me go around looking for her most of the time!" The boss said, boasting his chest and feeling as if he had just won the world's greatest debate.

As much as he was annoying, he was right. And both Lei and Dean had no retort for his last sentence.

Lei was pretty much doing whatever the hell she wanted most of the time and somehow always got away with it.

Until today, that is.

"Okay, I'll do it." She suddenly said confidently, as the whole room started whispering in disbelief. "A job is a job after all, and a delivery must be completed." She said, smiling honestly at him.

"Lei.." Dean said with a shocked look.

"HA HA! That's my Lei, that's the reason I chose this girl right here!" Suddenly the boss' tone of voice changed completely, "Also, don't worry dear, Bass was the one who helped MegaMan after all! I'm sure he has already abandoned his bad ways! …And even if not.. You can always send a distress single through your communication device and help will be with you in seconds!" He added, still smiling.

Lei didn't actually hear a word of it, as she was lost in thought again.

She was never really scared of anything, and she wasn't scared at that moment either. She was always curious about the world and the creatures living in it. She always wanted to experience more, see more, feel more, she believed everything that happens has a reason behind it, and she felt like maybe there's a reason for her to complete this unusual task.

And most importantly - she just really loved her job.

"Lei... If anything happens, call me immediately." Dean said quietly, his expression worried.

Lei shifted her gaze up to him and stared at him with large blue eyes, "You don't have to be so worried!" She reassured him and smiled widely, "I feel like it's gonna be just fine, trust me on this one."

Then, the meeting was finally over.


A/N: And that's it for chapter 1!

The Boss' name is 'The Boss'. That's what I decided, Hahaha xD I also keep imagining Peter Parker's boss in my head as I write him, though I try to not make him as much of an asshole. (We need pictures of MegaMan, Parker!)

I know it isn't properly explained who they are and what they do yet, but trust me, I have most of the technical details of the story all planned out, so be patient ;)

I hope you enjoyed it, Please review!
