"I'm soooo bored!" Lan Hikari complained as he leaned back in his chair, balancing a pencil between his upper lip and the bottom of his nose. The brunet eleven year old wasn't known for his attention span, so such a complaint was nothing new. The pencil feel out and clattered to the desk in front of him, but he still didn't pick it up. He ran a hand past his signature blue head band and through his spiky hair.

"Come on Lan, you know you should just get it over with, then you can do something else." The electronic voice of Megaman said in a tone that was a little too cheerful for Lan's liking as the NetNavi watched him from inside his personal terminal. Megaman had been given to Lan a little will back by his father and was imaged after Lan to a curtain extent, making him the size and build of your average eleven year old. But that was about the extent of it.

While his hair was spiked, it was black, as stuck back more than Lan's own. And Megaman's brought green eyes were a long more instance to look at then Lan's brown. He wore a dark blue jump suit with his symbol on the chest and a blue helmet, sporting the same symbol.

"I know that Megaman, but I was kind of hoping that when I went to the SciLab's building, that some kind of emergency would come up, or that they would have a cool experiment going on, and I would have an excuse to put the homework off a bit longer." Lan admitted to his partner.

"Oh really? And here I thought you came to keep me company." Lan nearly jumped out of his seat when he heard his father's sarcastic voice behind him. Dr. Yuichiro Hikari smiled down at his son with one raised eyebrow behind his glasses.

"D..dad!" Lan shouted before glaring down at his personal terminal at Megaman's grinning face. "Why didn't you tell me he was standing right behind me?" Lan hissed.

"How was I supposed to know you were going to open your big mouth." Megaman said, making excuses as his display looked to the side. A tease to let Lan know that he had known this was going to happen.

"Sorry Lan, but usually everything goes pretty smoothly at SciLabs, and experiments take longer to set up than you realize." Dr. Hikari said as he walked past his son and sat down at his desk, quickly getting to work on some papers that were there. "Most of our time is actually spent doing 'boring' paperwork."

"Ah man." Lan groaned, head falling down to the desk he had been given. "I was hoping something fun would happen."

"Well, I personally hope that everything runs as normal." Dr. Hikari chuckled.

Both Hikari's jumped as an alarm started to blare. "Lan, a dimensional field is forming around SciLabs!" Megaman reported as he received the parameters for the alert. "It's a Darkloid attack!"

"Yes!" Lan shouted before remembering that his father was there. "I mean... I better get right on that. Netpolice stuff, you know."

His father just sighed. "Just be care."

"Will do!" Lan shouted back as he was already halfway out the door.

Dr. Hikari turned back towards his computer and started giving out orders. "Increase security around the synchro-chips, we can't let the Darkloids take them!"

"Sir, the emergence isn't near the synchro-chips. The Darkloid seems to be after something else." One of the security staff responded.

"What? What's it after?" The doctor asked, confused. What could have been so important as to risk breaking into SciLabs for, other than the chips? With a few button clicks he got the security camera images up on his screen and found the culprit. His eyes widened in panic when he saw where it was. "No, not that!"

"Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles!" The unfortunately named 'Bubbleman' laughed to himself as he wattled with a sense of purpose towards his objective. "Those fools are still probably trying to defend their precious synchro-chips. They have no idea that I am after something far more valuable, bubbles."

The Darkloid was not much to look at. Actually, he was just not much, period. He was short and fat, with huge fish like lips. He had the appearance and mental age of a six year old on a sugar rush and was all around rather dim and dopy. No one took his seriously, not even his own allies, mostly because of his stupid obsession with taking over the world using bubbles of all things. But that was about to change.

Using his powers to smash through a large security door, he made it into the most secret room in SciLabs, one that held something that Bubbleman believed would finally put him on top.

Sitting there, in the center of the room inside of a glass case was what looked like a high tech soap thermos. It was steel grey with bright green lines and a rather normal shape. But even with its odd appearance, Bubbleman was giddy with excitement. He could feel the small waves of energy coming from the thermos.

Smashing the glass with some of his bubble rockets, he took the soup thermos in his hands, giggling uncontrollably as he held it to his cheek. "At last. Once I drink this soup. I will be unstoppable!" Grabbing onto the top, Bubbleman gave it a twist, only to find the thing was stuck. "What!? Oh come on!" The Darkloid shouted as he started to smash the thing against the base of the table it had been placed on. "Open up you stupid..."

The top turned as he accidently hit a bright red button on the side of the thermos. Bubbleman fell backwards onto his rear as the top burst off and a large beam of bright blue light came pouring out of it, completely blinding him.

"Ah! I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me! Bubbles!" Bubbleman said, covering his head. The light started to die away and Bubbleman felt the thermos bump up against his hand. Opening his eyes he lifted it up, looking down into the metal container. It was empty. "What!? No!" He shouted, tears coming to his eyes. "It's not fair. Where is the soup?"

But as he looked up to wipe away his tears, he saw someone standing in front of him. Someone in a black and white jumpsuit with snow white hair and vivid green eyes. "I'm... free." The boy said, he looked like he was around fifteen. His echoing voice sounded shocked as he looked down at his gloved hands.

Bubbleman just stared at him in shock, feeling the same power that had come from the thermos now coming from this strange boy. He was trying to figure out what that meant. Surely he hadn't been inside of the thermos.

But before Bubbleman could figure anything out, he heard another shout from the entrance. "Freeze!" Megaman/Lan shouted as the Cross-Fused boy/navi stood their in front of them, his megabuster held up and pointing at them.

"This just isn't my day, bubbles." Bubbleman whimpered, preparing to get

"Bubbleman, I don't know what you and your friend are doing here, but we are going to send you guys back were you came from." Lan shouted as he looked between Bubbleman and this new Darkloid he had never seen before. His blaster was focused on the new guy, since experience had told him that Bubbleman wasn't that big of a threat. Not to mention the little Darkloid was hiding himself behind the taller one's legs.

The guy seemed to be lost in thought, his eyes wondering around himself as if he was not quiet sure were he was, but at the sound of Lan's voice he stiffened and turned to face him.

"Not going to happen. I ain't going back in that thing, and you must be pretty thick if you think that you can make me on your own." The mystery Darkloid said, his fists clenched tight and a sort of green fire leaking out between his knuckles. He looked looked like a cornered animal, hair standing on end and ready to fight till the end to escape.

"Careful Lan, I'm getting some wierd energy readings from this guy. Something's off about him." Megaman said to his partner.

"Darkchips?" Lan asked quickly, mentally readying his own battlechips to fight with.

"Not sure, but I can't rule it out. So try not to be too cocky." Megaman said in an almost teasing voice.

"Hey, I am never too cocky." Lan replied before letting the Darkloids have it. "Megabuster!"

Bubbleman squealed and covered his head, but the new guy held up his hands and a bright green dome formed up around them. The megabuster shots hit the barrier hard and it shimmered from the impacts, but it didn't break.

With the shield up the white haired navi pointed one hand towards a fire extinguisher on the wall which began to glow green before jumping up out of its box and flying towards Lan, hitting him hard in the arm and knocking the blaster out of the way. Lan had been to focused on aiming to see it coming and the blow had taken him completely by surprise.

Using the opening, the white haired navi dropped his shield and flew straight for Lan and delivered a hard knee to the stomach. Lan was thrown backwards by the blow into a wall fast enough to break through the outer layer of plaster. "Oh wow, that hurt." Lan gasped, glad for the durability that cross-fusion granted him.

"Lan, we can't take enough hit like that. Try some of that battle chip strategy you always brag about instead of just using the blaster." Megaman advised.

"Right. Longsword; Battle Chip; Download!" He shouted, holding out his blaster to the side. The blaster quickly changed shape and a bright green blade came out the top of it. The white haired navi stood his ground, waiting to see what happened next. Lan grinned, taking two quick steps forward before activating his next battle chip. "Area Steal!"

The white haired navi blinked in surprise as Lan's form blurred in a massive increase of speed. The distance between them disappeared as Lan brought the long sword around in a wide slash.

The white haired navi twisted his body, falling backwards so that the blade tip only cut through part of his side before he had slide out of the way. Then he kicked outwards with his right foot, hitting Lan hard in the stomach and sending him flying back a second time. But the kick didn't have the power of the earlier knee and Lan quickly recovered himself, grinning that he had managed to get a solid hit.

"Son of a..." The white haired navi swore, holding the injured side. Lan's grin turned to a look of shock as he lifted his arm. Rather than the bits of light bent by the damaged energy field which kept the navi's cemented in the world, there was bright red blood dripping from the wound. Lan's surprise at seeing the blood left him completely open.

The white haired navi held up a hand towards him and rapidly shot out bright green energy blasts, one after another, not letting up for a second. Lan was smashed against the wall and held there was he was beaten hard.

"Lan, you've got to get out of there! Lan!" Megaman shouted, but Lan couldn't react. The moment the blasts let up, he slide to the ground and his cross-fusion broke, returning him to his normal state and leaving his NetNavi exposed. "Lan! Lan!" Megaman kept shouting as the white haired navi came up closer. "Get away from him!" He barked from the handheld device, though he was in no position to do anything. But the white haired navi just stared at Lan with a confused expression.

"He... he's just a kid." The navi said, shouldn't surprised still having a hand over his injured side.

"You... you beat Megaman!" Bubbleman shouted in amazement. Then he started to laugh loudly. "He's beaten! He's finally going to be out of the way! Now there will be nothing to stop the Darkloids from taking over the world! Bubbles!"

"Huh?" The white haired Darkloid said, looking taken aback. "Take over the world? Oh Please tell me I didn't just... oh man..."

"You've done well minion! I am so glad I released your from that prison the humans were keeping you in! Bubbles! This is great! Shademan will be so pleased with me!" Bubbleman shouted, putting his hands over his stomach and giving his annoying laugh. "But first, we got to make sure that Lan Hikari never comes back." The childish face turned rather dark as he slowly walked towards Lan, as if enjoying the moment of triumph.

"No! Stay away from him! Lan wake up!" Megaman shouted in panic as he was about to watch helplessly as his partner died.

"Hold on there a second." The white haired navi said, grabbing onto Bubbleman's shoulder and pulling him back. "We need to talk about this whole 'taking over the world' thing."

"Huh?" Bubbleman said confused.

"Yeah, I mean, what do you guys plan on doing once you have taken over the world? I mean, ruling the world is a lot of work, between public transport, setting up schools, making trade decisions and organizing labor forces. Just how much of this stuff do you actually have planned out?" The white haired navi asked in an oddly funny manner. "How's your policy on gay marriage?"

"What are you talking about!? I don't care about the gays!"

"You'll find that to be a hard political stance to take in this day in age." The white haired navi said, shaking his head in disapproval. "You'll be lucky if you can go a week without hearing from some activist or other."

"I will flood the world in bubbles and make everyone fear my bubbly wrath!" Bubbleman shouted angrily.

"Then what? That's just taking over the world, what are you going to do once you actually have it?" The white haired navi asked again, crossing his arms.

"I'll... I'll um... I don't know but it will be something evil alright!" Bubbleman shouted, stomping on the ground. "Stop interrupting me!"

"How about we hold off on murdering children until after we figure out what the new world order will actually be like, okay?" Megaman watched the exchange in pure confusion. Things were just not adding up, with the new Darkloid defending him and Lan. And... it was kind of funny.

"Gurr! Stop making fun of me! I will kill Lan Hikari and destroy Megaman!" Bubbleman shouted before turning back to Lan and preparing to attack. But again the white haired navi grabbed him, this time by the tub that was attached to the top of his head. "Hey! Let go of my hoes!"

The white haired navi gave a snort of laughter. "That sounded really dirty, but I can't exactly let you kill the kid. Sorry about this little guy. Ghost Stinger!" Bubbleman gave a yelp of pain as bright green sparks of electricity ran wild over his body. He pained shouts got louder and louder until the attack stopped. "There you go, now take a nice long time... out?"

"Bubbleman; Logging out." The voice over said as the bubble themed Darkloid disappeared into a cloud of particles. The white haired navi watched as the particles gathered together before being sucked into the nearest data port.

He blinked and walked over to the outlet. "A network outlet?" He said, as if surprised to see one. Then a grin passed over his face, never tried to get around through one of there before. His body changed, seeming to become semitransparent before he moving into the outlet, following after Bubbleman.

A few minutes later, the police showed up and Lan was taken to the hospital to be looked after. He would live, but he was out of commission for a while, and now a strange navi was on the loose in the network. Megaman would have to find some help.

Alright, I'll try to continue this for a little bit, since some people seem interested.
