[Chapter 7: Hot Tempers!]

YGO Fan Girl: Ok, first I thought it'll be best to let you all know that I've decided to skip 'Game Off' cause to be honest I don't see the point of the episode at all. And lastly, I want to thank all of those who have reviewed, favorited, and followed my story 'Loving the Summer Justice'. Please continue to R&R. Bye-Bye.

Disclaimer: I don't own Megaman NT Warrior, but Counting Sinful Stars owns Amana and Requiem while I do own Natsu, Katashi, Arata, Ninjaman, Iah, and Ying along with any Battle Chips that I've made up like YangSword.

...My Line...

It was just before school and Natsu was sitting in a chair in a hair salon getting her hair dried while Maylu waited for her in the waiting area. Without them and NetNavis even noticing the drier over heated and when the stylist walked over to turn it off everyone there got a shock. Natsu gasped in horror as her bangs and the back of her hair curled upwards. Maylu acting quickly grabbed a green hat and handed it to Natsu who as fast as possible put it on to cover up her hair.

DenTech Academy!

"Just be calm and maybe they won't noticed," Natsu mumbled to herself as she walked through the halls of DenTech Academy.

Maylu who was walking next to her looked at the young Masato worried for her before they walked into their classroom and over to their sets.

"Morning," Lan greeted them making Natsu to gasp and placed her hands on the hat. "Hey, Natsu, what's up with the hat?"

"Nothing," she answered, "I'm...trying a new style. All the top models are wearing them."

"Oh, that's some style," Lan said before his widen a bit, "hang on a second!? Since when are you into fashion? Are you hiding something under there?"

"Um...no."

"Come on, spill it," Lan said with narrow eyes.

"Huh?" Natsu asked, "spill what?"

"Hey, what was that?" Lan asked all of the sudden as he pointed off to the side.

"What?" Natsu asked as she and Maylu looked over to where Lan was pointing, "where?"

Lan got an evil glim in his eyes before he snatched the hat off of Natsu's head making her gasp as her hair curled up. Lan blinked a few times in surprise while the heterogeneous eyed girl placed her hands on her head with a blush. A smile made it's way on Lan's face before he started to laugh making both girls to glare at him.

"Hey, man," Dex said as he walked over to them looking at Lan, "what did you say to her?" He then looked over at Natsu and noticed her hair. "What...happened to your hair?"

"The drier at the salon over heated and broke ok," Natsu answered in embarrassment as Dex tried to keep from laughing, "you stop laughing!"

"Yeah, Lan," Dex agreed as he stopped and looked over at the brown haired boy, "stop it. That's really mean. There's nothing wrong with Natsu's hair."

At this Dex looked back at Natsu and started to laugh again while trying to stop.

"Hey!" Natsu yelled in outrage as her blush be came more pronounced, "stop it you guys! It's not funny!" However, Lan started to laugh right out loud while Dex pinch himself to keep from laughing louder. "Your being immature and mean!" Natsu had by that time had tooken her hands off her hair. "It's not that bad!" A gasp could be heard from the heterogeneous eyed girl before her hands where covering her hair again. "This is not happening."

Glaring at Lan, Natsu pushed past him and over the computer where Lan's homework was. Maylu let a smile appear on her face as she watched Natsu delete Lan's homework.

"You asked for it Lan."

With that the two girls walked away after Natsu took back the hat and put it on.

Computer System!

"Oh, not good," Ying sighed as they watched Miss Mari scold Lan about his homework.

"Defiantly not good," Megaman agreed, "Lan shouldn't have laughed at Natsu. She has every right to be made at him."

"That's true," Ying agreed, "but that's still no excuse for deleting Lan's homework."

"You know what?" Megaman asked as the two of them looked at each other, "maybe there's something we can do to help them."

"I agree," Ying second with a smile.

"Kinda weird about that hair drier," Megaman said as he looked away in thought, "I wonder if World 3 had anything to do with it." He then looked back at Ying. "Hey, Ying, you were in the area when it happened. Did you noticed anything strange?"

"No, not really."

"Yeah figures," Megaman sighed as he looked away again, "I doubt you would be able to see anything if you were looking."

Roll's bright green eyes widen as she and Gutsman stood next to the other two while Ying's hot pink eyes narrowed.

"What do you mean by that?" she asked in anger, "are you saying I'm useless?"

"What?" Megaman asked in surprise as he looked back at the pink haired Navi.

"That was so rude," Ying went on, "I can't believe you said that."

"Wait a minute," Megaman said in confusing, "I didn't say that!"

"After everything we've been through," Ying continued, "how could you think of me that way?"

"What way?" Megaman asked, "I don't know what you mean."

"Come on, don't play dumb with me," Ying growled before she looked at Roll and Gutsman, "Roll, Gutsman, you heard what he said right?" "

Yup," Roll answered with a nod.

"Yeah, but..." "See, I told ya," Ying said as she glared at Megaman, 'I'll show him whose useless.'

'I didn't say anything,' thought Megaman, 'what's the matter with her?'

"Come on, Gutsman, Roll," Ying said as she grabbed Gutsman's bigger thumb, "let's go."

Roll fell into steps with Ying as the pink haired Navi pulled Gutsman along behind them.

"Gutsman's not feeling so good."

Megaman watched all three of them walk away in confusion.

"Fine then," he mumbled, "I guess two can play that game."

Lan's House!

"I can't believe that Natsu," Lan said as he eat a piece of toast while the TV was on.

"I can't believe that Ying." "It wasn't my fault that her hair was funny lookin'."

Cyber World; Elsewhere!

"Gutsman's happy that's over," Gutsman said as the three of them appeared in a different part of the Cyber World.

"How dare he call me useless?" Ying asked, "how rude. From now on, Megaman can Netbattle alone as far as I'm concern."

"He not make you feel bad on purpose," Gutsman told her. "Yeah," Roll agreed with him, "I'm sure that he didn't mean to say it like that." Roll felt bad for her pink haired friend knowing about the girl's crush on Megaman. "He just spoke without thinking. Kinda of like Lan does."

Ying let a small smile appear on her face before it was whipped off when Torchman appeared in front of them.

"Torchman?" all three NetNavis asked in surprise.

"Guts," Gutsman moved to stand in front of the two girls, "what are you doing here?"

"Easy big boy," Torchman told him before he looked around, "where's Megaman?"

"No idea," Ying answered as she looked away with her eyes closed.

"Fine then." All three fell into a fighting when Torchman raised his arm as if he was getting ready for an attack.

"Gutsman not what to do this."

"Here's a little something from Mr Match and me."

"Guts, Guts, Guts."

"Just stay calm," Roll whispered to Gutsman.

Torchman brought his arm out and to their surprise it turned out to be an email.

"Email?" Gutsman asked

"What's that for?" both Roll and Ying asked.

"It's a message for Megaman," Torchman answered as he sent it over to Ying, "make sure he get's it."

"Gutsman get's you!" Gutsman yelled as he charged at Torchman who got away.

"Guess I might as well read it," Ying said before she opened it, "it's a formal Netbattle challenge from Torchman and Mr Match." The pink haired Navi kept reading before she blinked in confusion. "Turn up the heat?" She thought it over before both she and Roll gasped as it hit them. "Oh no. Their the ones behind all the trouble. They've been messing up our city and they ruined Natsu's hair. Those creeps have got to be stop now."

The two girls looked at each other before nodding their heads and leaving with Gutsman right behind them.

Game Soul!

"So it was Torchman?" Natsu asked as she looked at her PET where Ying now stood, "are you sure about that?"

Natsu, Maylu, and Dex where standing in front of a Wacko-a-Male game in the arcade where the heterogeneous eyed girl and Dex where playing.

"Yes, I saw him, myself," Ying answered.

"So that explains the brier burning up," Natsu said in thought, "so he's challenging Lan and Megaman to battle?" A vain started to throb on her forehead. "Well, Lan seems to be good at getting people to be mad at him."

"Your right," Ying agreed, "and Mr Match is still steaming over him winning their last Netbattle."

"Lan really did it this time," Natsu growled as the vain was now visible.

"That letter was a challenge to a Netbattle," Ying went on, "so what are we going to do about it?"

"We'll keep it and go in their place," Natsu answered as she hit a mole.

"I was hoping you'll say that," Ying said with a smile.

"That'll teach him to treat me like that," Natsu said as she turned back to the game and started to hit the moles with fast and hard hits.

"Ok, then," Dex said, "Gutsman and I will come and help."

"As well, Roll and I," Maylu agreed with a nod as she sweat dropped.

"Gutsman," Dex said as he looked at his NetNavi.

Gutsman sighed before he vanished to go get Lan and Megaman.

Lan's House!

"So then why didn't we get this letter?" Lan asked Gutsman after he was told what was going on.

"Who cares?" Gutsman asked in answer, "Torchman's strong, but Ying needs help."

"Ying and Natsu didn't want us to see this," Lan pointed out, "maybe there's some reason they don't want our help."

"Their just being stubborn," Megaman told his NetOp, "Ying can't battle Torchman alone. No matter what, we're all still a team."

"Your right," Lan agreed with him, "let's do this." Lan pulled out the cord for his PET. "Jack-in Megaman! Power up!"

Without a waiting a minute longer both Megaman and Gutsman where off.

Central Heating Plant's Computer System!

"I'm glade your here...uh...I mean...huh?" Torchman stumble around when he noticed that the one who came was not Megaman, but Ying instead. "Wait a minute? Your not Megaman. Where is he? What about the letter?"

"I'm battling in his place," Ying answered as she stood in front of him.

"That wasn't the deal," Torchman stated, "you can't be serious?"

"I am."

"Hoha," Torchman laughed, "ridicules, you battle me?"

"First Megaman and now this guy," Ying whispered to herself, "nobody treats me that way and..." The yellow ends of the red string coming from her headband glowed briefly. "Get's away with it." Ying moved back a bit with a glare in place. "Ying Bow!"

Her left arm turned into a white bow that she lifted up and pulled back the string before letting it go. The bow fired off about 50 arrows and a few of them hit Torchman knocking him to the ground.

Central Heating Plant!

"That away!" Dex cheered, "get him Ying!"

"That's it," Maylu joined Dex, "nice shot!"

"Those guys need to learn a lesson," Natsu growled, "like never, never, ever laugh at a girl's hair!"

Both Maylu and Dex moved away from Natsu in a bit of fear.

Central Heating Plant's Computer System!

"I'm going to teach you some manners!" Ying yelled as she pulled back the strings on her bow, "Ying Bow!" Torchman, however, was able to dodge all of them. "Huh?"

To Ying's surprise Torchman disappeared, but he then reappeared behind her.

"Pika boo," he said making her look behind her in surprise, "hehehe." Torchman laughed as he kicking Ying onto the ground. "That was a short lesson. Is class over already?" Ying glared up at him from her place on the ground as Torchman stood in front of her. "Some friend standing you out here by yourself. Megaman is nothing, but a coward." Ying glare darkened as Torchman raised his arm and pointed it her. "Now it's time for you to pay the price."

Central Heating Plant!

"Watch out Ying!" all three 11-years-old yelled.

Central Heating Plant's Computer System!

"To bad Megaman isn't here to see this," Torchman told her as flames sparked in his arm cannons, "I would have liked to see his face."

However, before he could fire, a blast from the side moved it away from Ying.

"Huh?"

Ying despite being confused got up and went to stand away from Torchman and behind the new arrivals.

"Ah?" Torchman asked as he looked over, "you!"

'I don't understand,' thought Ying in confusion as she looked at Megaman, 'how did he know where to find me?'

"So hero, you decided to show up?" Torchman asked him.

Central Heating Plant!

"Megaman?"

Central Heating Plant's Computer System!

"Nice of you show," they heard Mr Match's voice say, "alright Torchman! He's all yours! Do you stuff!"

"With pleasure!" Torchman said in reply before he charged as Megaman. The blue did the same and Torchman jumped into the air and lifted up his arms. "Fire Arms!"

Megaman dodged the blast of fire and also jump into the air where he pointed his blaster at Torchman.

"Mega Buster!"

As Megaman fired off rounds, Torchman dodged them while still in the air before both NetNavis landed on their feet on the ground.

"Kid's got some heat, but not enough," Torchman mumbled to himself before he slammed cannon arm on the ground. "Fire Tower!"

A tower of fire head right for all three of them, but they where able to dodge by jumping to the side. Ying looked up to see another Fire Tower coming at them.

"Aqua Tower! Battle Chip in! Download!"

"Take that!" Ying yelled as she slammed her hand on the ground.

Both the Aqua and Fire Towers collided and destroyed each other.

"Good shot," Megaman praised.

"Only a miner set back," Torchman told them, "I've got plenty of fire left." Torchman once again slammed his cannon arm on the ground. "Fire Tower!"

Ying stared in shock along with Megaman and Gutsman.

Central Heating Plant!

"How are we going to put out that flame?" Natsu asked in worry.

Maylu and Dex nodded in agreement with her.

Central Heating Plant's Computer System!

Megaman was the first to dodge followed by Gutsman and then Ying, but the moment Ying landed another Fire Tower was heading her way.

"Huh?" Ying looked at the tower of fire that was heading right for her in fear and unable to move.

"Ying, look out!" Megaman yelled as he pushed her out of the way.

However, he was unable to get out of the way in time and was hit.

"No, Megaman!" Ying yelled in shock and worry.

"Ooh, I'll say your well done, crispy even," Torchman stated with a smirk, "is that all you've got?"

"No way," Megaman answered as he struggled to get up, "this battle's not over yet."

Ying gasped when Megaman fall back to the ground unable to move.

"Don't give up!"

"Finish him off!" Mr Match ordered Torchman.

"Oh yeah," Torchman agreed, "three for the price of one! What a deal!"

Torchman for the fourth time slammed his cannon arm on the ground only this time it was both which caused a tsunami made of lava. Ying and Gutsman looked up from their place next to Megaman who also looked up to the tower of lava heading their way.

"What are we going to do?" Gutsman asked as the flames headed right for them.

'This is all my fault,' Ying thought as she looked at Megaman who was glaring at the towering wall of lava. 'Megaman got hurt because of me. I have to do something.' "Natsu! Send me another Aqua Tower Battle Chip!"

"Ok but it didn't work last time!"

"Please just do it!"

"Here it comes then," Natsu told her with a sigh, "Aqua Tower! Battle Chip in! Download!"

Torchman on the other side of the lava wall laughed.

"Here comes my flam tsunami. Burn baby, burn baby, burn."

Ying stood up once she felt the power of the battle chip surge through her arm.

"Gutsman scared."

"Gutsman get a grip!" she order him as she moved over to stand behind the big guy, "I need your help! Hold still!" Ying slammed her hand on the ground for a second. "Gutsman Aqua Tower!"

Gutsman yelled a bit in surprise as a rush of water hit him in the back and sent him forward towards the tower of fire.

"Mission Accomplish," Torchman said, "might as well log out." He lifted his arm getting ready to leave when he noticed something was off. "Huh?" To his surprise Gutsman came rushing through the fire wall being pushed by water before he was hit by the big Navi. "What a way to burn out."

"Log out before it's to late!" Mr Match yelled when he noticed Torchman's Navi mark was damaged.

Torchman, Logging out!

Ying went over to Megaman and helped him up.

"Thanks," he thanked her as she let go allowing him to stand on his own, "I guess I owe you one."

"Thanks for coming," the pink haired navi thanked as she blushed, "sorry about the email."

"No big deal," Megaman said with a smile as he also blushed while he looked over at her, "we always battle much better as a team." He looked away for a bit. "I'm glade I came." He looked back at her. "Hey, I'm sorry that I'd hurt your feelings."

Ying looked over at him with a smile while still blushing.

"Good idea Ying, but the next time warn Gutsman," Gutsman said as he walked over, but stopped when he saw Ying and Megaman laughing, "Megaman talking to her? Gutsman doesn't understand. One minute they are made and the next they are happy. So confusing."

Central Heating Plant!

"What a relief," Dex sighed before he sat in a chair that rolled back.

"There you are!" Lan called as he slammed the door open knocking Dex away.

"Hi Lan," Natsu greeted as she turned around.

"Ah, so your ok?" he asked.

"I'm fine," Natsu answered, "why?" A smile made it's way on her face. "Why do you ask that? Were you worried about me?"

"Um, well..."

"So you came here to rescue me?"

"Whatever," Lan mumbled as he looked with a blush, "what do you mean?" Lan looked back at her without the blush. "No way I would do that!"

"No way you would do that?" Natsu asked in shock before she narrowed her eyes, "aren't I worth it?"

"Cut it out!" Lan yelled at her, "I was trying to do you a favor!"

"Some favor!" Natsu yelled back, "I don't recall asking you to come!"

"You impossible!"

"And your a stubborn typical pain in the neck boy!"

"Hey, is there some kinda of problem here?" Dex asked he back over dizzy.

"Are you being mean again?" Maylu asked as she also walked up having gone to help Dex.

"QUIET!" both Natsu and Lan yelled at them.

"Ok, I'll be leaving now," Dex said in panic while Maylu jumped in surprise.

Ying's PET!

Megaman let out a sigh as he was a small screen in Ying's PET.

"Just when I thought everyone was getting along again," he told Ying.

"Arguing is healthy for ya," she told him as she smiled, "that means it's a close relationship."

"Well, they are healthy," Megaman stated making her to giggle.

Central Heating Plant!

"LAN HIKARI!" Natsu yelled at him as Maylu and Dex stood as far away from them as possible, "I swear you are the most insensitive, unfeeling, ridicules boy in the entire world! No, the entire universe."

"Oh yeah?" Lan asked as the same time, "you know what your talking about! How can't you say that to me?" Natsu just throw more insulting words at Lan. "GAH! GIRLS!"
