NOTE FROM RYDRAKE: I will warn you now, I am unaware of the events after the Axess season, as Stream, Beast, and Beast+ never received an English adaption. I am also unable to find any episodes with English subs, so no flames or anything similar.

Chapter 1:
New Friend, Old Foe

"Mr. Wily, what on Earth is that?" Mr. Match asks.

"Glad you asked. Pay close attention everyone. I've called you all here today because we are going to reunite WWW! Inside this mass of Bug Fragments left over from the Gospel incident is a Net Navi related to Bass. If this sibling Navi has Bass's powers, we will become unstoppable for sure! Muahahahaha!" Mr. Wily replies.

Mr. Match, Yahoot, Maddy, and Count Zap are standing before a large computer being controlled by Wily while the Bug Frag mass sits in a dimensional tank anchored onto the computer. The mass stands at 6'03" and its width is at 5'06"; the cylindrical tank is only 7'00" and 5'08" wide. Wily is currently decoding the mass to unlock the NetNavi trapped inside it.

"Uh look, Mr. Wily, I'm not up for reuniting to be truthful. It's much easier running the Curry Shop with Yahoot and not being beaten over and over by MegaMan." Count Zap speaks out.

"I agree with him; bringing back WWW means getting our asses beat again." Mr. Match joins in.

"Even WackoMan is still trying to recover from the last battle I had with another NetOp; he's had enough." Maddy says.

"Hey, thanks for looking out for me, sweetie!" WackoMan replies.

"I have to agree with the others; we retired from WWW and its ways." Yahoot says.

"Ah, you're all completely worthless! Ah, I've cracked the code! Let's see what we have!" Mr. Wily says, as he types in the last few codes.

Inside the tank, small electrical bolts shoot at the mass rapidly. Soon, the mass moves, and a scream is heard. The mass bursts open, all its data being deleted instantly, as a curled up Navi is revealed from the deleted mess. The helmet is exactly like Bass's, along with a cloak surrounding the curled up Navi as it floats in place. The Navi soon slowly makes contact with the ground sitting up, lifting up its head. It angrily throws the cloak off itself, revealing its body. It is slightly smaller than Bass, with a much blacker outfit. The rings around the bottom part of the legs, the single "wrist band" around the busters, and the shoulder armor is a light purple color. The two lines running down from the emblem crest to the rings on the legs are a cyan color. Where the purple stripes would be on Bass's face is instead magenta on this Navi. The would-be gloves are more on the line of mittens. The crest soon gains an image of three blackberries against a green background. It also appears to have a flat chest, which keeps its gender hidden. The Navi soon opens its eyes, revealing the intense blue color. It looks around, seeing the group.

It speaks revealing its feminine voice, "Who are you guys? And where am I?"

"Aw! Oh my goodness, she's absolutely adorable! Look at how big and blue her eyes are!" Maddy says, instantly falling for the Navi.

"Hey Maddy, don't forget me!" WackoMan calls out.

"Going in order, I am Yahoot. Next to me with the yellow hair is Count Zap. Next to him with the red wavy hair is Mr. Match, and finally next to him is Maddy. Next to you, however, is Mr. Wily, the leader of WWW." Yahoot replies.

"Hmm, I'm not liking these stats of yours." Mr. Wily says, tapping into the Navi's stats on the computer.

"What do you mean, Mr. Wily?" the Navi asks, looking up at him.

"Your power is absolutely poor. You are definitely a pathetic version of your brother, Bass." Mr. Wily replies.

"Whoa, I have a brother?" the Navi says.

"Yes, and he's very powerful. He's a Solo Navi just like you, lassie. Hey, what's your name by the way?" Mr. Match says.

"My name? I…I don't have one." the Navi answers.

"Whatever. Look, you can stay here in this space I've created in the computer for now. I need to figure out what to do with you." Mr. Wily says, typing a code to allow the nameless Navi into the customized space.

The Navi gladly teleports inside the customized space page, soon finding it's fairly small. Mr. Wily exits the area while the still-retired WWW members jack-in their NetNavis. Upon touch down, TorchMan is immediately not into meeting the new Navi, due to her low power. The others, however, start to converse.

"Well hello there, sweetie. I am WackoMan. This magician to my left id MagicMan, and to me right, this fine fellow is ElecMan. Um, apparently behind us is TorchMan." WackoMan introduces, soon realizing TorchMan is keeping his distance.

"You guys all look strong and cool! Hey, you think you could give me a name?" the Navi says.

"I got one for ya, kid. That emblem of yours gave me the idea in an instant; why not Blackberry?" Count Zap says, approaching the computer.

"Hey yeah, that's not a bad idea." ElecMan says.

"Kind of an odd name for a Navi though." MagicMan says.

"Uh dude, remember the N1 Grand Prix? There was a NetNavi called ShingingMan." ElecMan says with a look.

"…Good point." MagicMan agrees.

"Hmm…Blackberry…I like it! Hey, you guys wanna play with me?" Blackberry accepts, soon looking for action.

"Why not! Here, try and catch this!" WackoMan quickly agrees and launches his ball.

Blackberry quickly starts to chase it, being followed by ElecMan and WackoMan. MagicMan joins TorchMan, as he isn't one for play. TorchMan knows that Mr. Wily plans to delete Blackberry, if not force her power to increase. MagicMan is more wary of Mr. Wily deleting her, as she is new and wouldn't have much skill to start with just because. The two look out at the other three playing catch.

Later that day, as night starts to arrive, Blackberry is resting peacefully in her space in the computer, lying in a cyber bean-bag chair version of WackoMan's ball. The retired WWW members have left the base earlier on. Mr. Wily returns to his computer, seeing Blackberry asleep. He checks her stats once more, unable to believe she's no stronger than a NormalNavi program, despite having a couple of moves: Ninja Smoke, which is a smokescreen and allows quick escapes, and Holy Aura, which blocks most attacks until a strong enough one breaks through it. Her other stats including HP, Attack, etc, are all equal to NormalNavis. He then pulls up a window that asks for the Power Up Program to start, while another one is opened asking to delete the Navi.

Mr. Wily looks at the windows, and makes his decision. As he is about to press the button to okay the deletion, a guitar pick flies across the room and hits his hand, stopping him from deleting Blackberry. Mr. Wily turns around, and finds Count Zap, ready for a battle. Blackberry suddenly wakes up, seeing the Deletion Window open and flips out, crying for the other Navis.

"I won't let you delete her, Wily." Count Zap says.

"Give me a break, Count Zap. She's more worthless than you and the others are. Why should I spare her?" Mr. Wily says.

"Because you're about to get the shock of your life. Now, ElecMan!"

Inside the computer's mainframe, ElecMan is standing in front of the large electric tower he occasionally has set behind him in order to give him more power. He takes action, the tower feeding him more electricity, and ElecMan fires his electric bolts all around the mainframe, soon getting it to short circuit. He is able to take out the power in the base, but just as the computer is about to shut down, he races to Blackberry's space, grabs onto her, and logs out with her to his PET. Just as the base goes dark, Count Zap has his outfit light up in order to blind Mr. Wily, and take off at the same time with both Navis at hand.

An hour later in his hot air balloon, he and ElecMan are able to calm down the traumatized Navi. They are currently over the ocean, making their way to Count Zap's home. However, the wind is slightly rough, forcing the balloon off course.

"I just don't understand! Why would he wanna delete me?" Blackberry asks, still upset.

"It's because you're not as strong as he thought you were. You see, your brother, Bass, is near invincible, while you're not even close. You're no stronger than most starting NormalNavis." Count Zap explains.

"Well what does that old bastard expect; I was just born dammit!" Blackberry shouts.

"Easy, kid. Look, I'm not sure what this PET is going to do to you. What we plan on doing is creating you your own page back at home so you can remain a Solo Navi. Until we get in touch with the right people, you may be able to have a PET of your own someday." ElecMan says.

"I dunno. This area's pretty small…I don't think I'd like being in a PET." Blackberry says. She sighs and continues, "All I feel like doping in confronting Bass and join him."

"You will at some point. He's constantly moving throughout the Net, so you'll run into him. But for now, let's get you to a safer place." Count Zap says.

"Hey, Count Zap? Could I call you 'Zappy' instead?" Blackberry asks.

ElecMan nearly chuckles at this, but is astonished when his NetOp replies, "I think I can manage that. Hey, when we get home, I'll let you design your page; just tell me and ElecMan what to do."

"Okay! And maybe we can train together so I can gain some defenses!" Blackberry says excitedly.

A month soon passes by, bringing in the summer season. Lan, Dex, Maylu, and Yai, are hanging out near a park. Yai is able to visit for the summer by staying at her mansion. Rush soon appears a few feet away and dashes over to the group, jumping into Maylu's lap. However, something isn't right, and he tries to tell Maylu this.

"What's the matter, Rush? You look agitated." Maylu says.

"[I found this strange Navi in the Net! You gotta check it out!]" Rush replies.

"What does he want?" Lan asks.

Rush gets annoyed, not being able to be understood. He creates a hole, jumps into it, and reappears on Maylu's PET, pulling up a screen showing the Navi. Everyone is astonished by the Navi, thinking it's Bass.

"There's no way Rush ran into Bass!" Lan says.

"Wait, I don't think that's him guys. Take another look; the colors are different, and the face is young and feminine. Even the eyes are big." Roll says, nearly analyzing the Navi.

"She's right. Look at them emblem on its chest; that's not Bass's symbol." Yai says, taking a closer look.

"Then who is this NetNavi, Guts?" GutsMan asks.

"Glyde, can you find any information on it?" Yai asks.

"I'm only finding very little information, but her program is different from what I've seen." Glyde replies.

"What do you mean her program's different?" Lan asks.

"Well, in short, most NetNavis are programmed for certain things. Take me for example; I'm more of a butler to Miss Yai than a battler like MegaMan. Her program is actually difficult for me to read with what Rush has given us." Glyde explains.

"Lan, I think I'm sensing the Navi nearby. Try jacking me into that street light." MegaMan calls out.

"If you say so." Lan says standing up. "Okay then! Jack-In, MegaMan! Power Up!"

MegaMan is jacked into the street light via infrared rays. Upon arrival, he sees the Navi wandering around with a scared look.

He calls over to her, "Hey you there! What's going on?"

The Navi freaks and jumps a mile, not expecting to be found or even talked to. She looks over at the famous Blue Bomber as he cautiously approaches. The closer he gets, the more scared the Navi became. She quickly uses Holy Aura in order to protect herself and keep MegaMan away. Although she is standing, she covers her head and closes her eyes in fear.

"Hey, easy. I'm not gonna hurt you at all. I just wanna talk." MegaMan says calmly.

"That's what the last NetNavi said and he unleashed hell on me! I was almost deleted!" the Navi replies.

"I can assure you, I won't. Can you at least tell me your name? My friends and I are curious about you." MegaMan asks.

The Navi looks at him and replies, "It's Blackberry. My name is Blackberry."

Soon the other NetNavis are jacked into the area, scaring Blackberry further. She quickly uses Ninja Smoke, blinding the others in a thick Somescreen. This only infuriates GutsMan, and concerns MegaMan as he isn't planning on fighting. Dex downloads the GutsHammer Battle Chip, and GutsMan does not hesitate on using it. Lan downloads a Barrier Battle Chip, and MegaMan uses it to block GutsMan's attack. This works, till the fissure finds a way around the barrier and strikes Blackberry, canceling her Holy Aura. The smokescreen clears, and GutsMan wastes no time in charging at the frightened Navi. She ducks and covers her head, till Maylu downloads an Aqua Tower Battle Chip. Roll uses this, summoning it right under GutsMan and forcing him into the air. He comes down fast and hits the ground.

"Damn it GutsMan, you made things worse!" Roll says.

"Yes, our sudden appearance must've given her quite a shock." Glyde says.

"Yeah GutsMan, what's your deal today? You've been attacking everything that moves all day!" Dex says.

"Guts guts…GutsMan must be in mood today…" GutsMan replies.

"Either way, it doesn't give you the right to attack something innocent." MegaMan says.

Glyde and Roll make their way over to MegaMan and Blackberry, being careful not to make her react again. Blackberry looks up at the Navis, being reassured by their friendly smiles. She stands up, but hides behind MegaMan.

"This could take a while, guys." MegaMan says.

"We've got all day." Lan says.

After a few minutes, the Navis had formed a circle with Blackberry explaining her part as to why she's in DenTech City. She first tells them what happened a month ago with the still disbanded WWW, which doesn't seem to surprise everyone as Wily is still an issue.

"But after all that mess, I've been living with Zappy and ElecMan. I have my own little page in the computer system which is blocked off by viruses and other evil things, as well as other NetNavis, unless I've given the okay. The two have been taking good care of me since, but, something happened that separated me from them, and I've been looking for the two ever since." Blackberry explains.

"I'm surprised Count Zap and ElecMan have become so docile." Roll says.

"But what about this thing that separated you from them?" MegaMan asks.

Blackberry lowers her head, then looks up and replies, "It all happened so fast. I think another NetNavi hacked into the system and just ripped me away when I was most vulnerable. All I can remember is he was really big…bigger than Gutsy over there."

"Bigger than GutsMan?" Dex asks.

"Oh yeah, way big! I can't describe the shape because I used Ninja Smoke and managed to escape. Problem was, he had brought Viruses with him that blocked me off from Zappy's computer system, so I had no choice but to escape into the Net. I then came across a NetNavi that looked like a shark, and when he said what Mega said, he attacked for no reason! So I ran off again, logging into whatever safe space I could find." Blackberry replies.

"Wait, I think I know who you're talking about. The Navi that said what I said was is SharkMan, Commander Beef's NetNavi." MegaMan says.

"THEN HIS NETOP'S AN ASSHOLE!" Blackberry shouts.

"Easy Blackberry. I'm curious, though. Your program is much different than ours." Glyde mentions.

"My program? Yeah…apparently I'm Bass's sister. I think Mr. Wily calls it a Sibling Program." Blackberry answers.

The Navi and their NetOps freak, "You're Bass's sister?"

"Gyyaaaahhh! You make it sound like it's bad!" Blackberry yells.

"Holy shit guys, we can't let her stay in the Net now!" Lan says, still freaking out.

"That's why I've been following her." a voice emits.

Another NetNavi arrives, and this time it's ProtoMan. Outside, Chaud had arrived, finally being able to locate Blackberry again. He approaches the gang in his usual calm way.

"Chaud, what are you doing here?" Lan asks.

"I've been following Blackberry for a few weeks now. ProtoMan and I knew from just looking at her she's related to Bass. She's been all over Net City, trying to find data streams going in and out, but she hasn't had much luck. I've had ProtoMan stick to the shadows to keep an eye on her." Chaud replies.

"So then, would you know of the Navi that separated her from Count Zap?" Dex asks.

"Wait, she's been with Count Zap?" Chaud asks.

Inside the street light, Blackberry tries to hide behind Glyde, as he is facing in ProtoMan's direction.

"So what Chaud said is true? You've been tailing her?" Roll asks.

"Yes. Though overhearing just now, I had no idea she was under Count Zap's care. But protecting her isn't the only reason I've been ordered to be her shadow." ProtoMan answers.

"What do you mean?" Glyde asks.

"I've done a lot of tracking thanks to SharkMan constantly showing up. Apparently his NetOp has dug up some data saying that Blackberry has a secret destructive move, but this isn't true, as she would've used it by now, taking Net City with her." ProtoMan explains.

"…It's true. If I had such a thing, we wouldn't be talking right now." Blackberry says.

"Then we need to convince SharkMan and Commander Beef that Blackberry is completely harmless!" MegaMan says.

"Otherwise I'm shark bait…" Blackberry says, cowering behind Glyde.
