Disclaimer: I do not own the anime series Rockman.EXE, Rockman.EXE Axess, or Rockman.EXE Stream (or any variation of the "Megaman NT Warrior" series, or "Battle Network" games). If I did, I would have used the money made off it all to invent the PET technology, and had Rockman all to myself. ^.^ As you might know, Rockman (or Megaman) is originally property of Capcom Inc., and the anime series (on which I'm basing this fic) is the intellectual property of Shogakukan.

And now, shamelessly picking up Dawnfire's concept (the talented author of "Reflections here on the Megaman NT section. Read it! It's good), I will give credit to the people who have reviewed:

Phideas Bagel (sorry if I mistyped): Thanks a lot. Well, now you don't have to wait anymore. Chapter three is up! ~.~

Anon: No, he's most certainly not. The main reason he's not is because I wanted them in the same world, and the number of fictions where Rockman in numerous ways are made human or tangible in the real world in some way are many more than this way around, so...besides, it's quite a plan, isn't it? WWW or Gospel never thought og this, now did they? ^.^

Now, onto the fic:

Chapter 3 � Of Computer and Man

Inside Hikari Netto's Personal Terminal

In cyberspace, inside Hikari Netto's PET, a speculative debate was taking place. Or rather, a speculative monologue, as only one part had the analytical brain to follow the complexity of the events that spawned the predicament (or the experience to utilize it properly). The one in the middle of the plight, Netto himself, was shuffling around, still trying to get his bearings in the unfamiliar atmosphere, attempting to adapt to the most basic concepts of Navi existence: "...exist solely in cyberspace?" Netto said, his voice filled with wonder in spite of the situation. Rockman nodded, concerned with the mere idea: "If such a thing is possible, that would be the most likely explanation to what seems to have happened to you."

Unable to hang on to the discussion of technicalities any longer, Netto looked himself over, his orange and blue exodermal suit, turning and twisting himself to get a better look at it all. He had seen these types of suits before, both in cyberspace and in the real world, dressing cosplayers and other Navi fanatics. But most familiar of all, of course, were the garbs of Rockman that he used to behold each and every day. He had to admit, he thought to himself as he felt the suit remain as form-perfect and completely embracing around his limbs however he moved, that it felt kinda...good, to wear this suit. Although, he also admitted to himself with a blush, it felt almost like being naked; it was so light, and so completely molded to fit him in every detail, that he could scarcely feel it at all.

"....that it might be a good idea to run a sub-spectral analysis of...hey, Netto-kun."
Netto mind was wandering, lost in the more lucid senses his new existence could provide him with when suddenly, he was jerked back into attention by Rockman: "...eh, what?" he said, and the blue navi shook his head: "I was saying..." he said, with a sigh: "...that since we know next to nothing of the methods used to bring you here, and since this might be instrumental in finding some way to counter whatever has happened, it might be a good idea to follow our only clue so far, the mysterious data stream, by running a sub-spectral analysis of it before the data starts to decay. That way we might be able to find out who initiated it, what kind of technology it was, where the executive command originated and so forth..." Rockman said, and Netto stood by him, looking like a living question mark.

"Sub-spectral analysis...?" he said, and the true Navi sighed once more: "In short, I'll go over the information stream with a very fine-toothed comb, inspecting every little 0 and 1. Is that simple enough for you to understand?" he said, only to trigger a swift and burning response from an indignated Netto: "Hey, Rockman, stop it. Can you blame me for not being in the mood to discuss fine technicalities? If what you're saying is right, my existence has just been altered very radically, and�" he half-yelled, the other Navi taking a step back from the practically sizzling Netto: "�and, well�" he continued, his voice starting to falter: "�I-I guess I'm a kinda scared�and I'm feeling very stupid�" he mumbled, his voice failing him as he looked down to the ground.

Rockman relaxed, confident he had been wrong assuming Netto was going to turn violent in his anger, and walked over to him, smiling soothingly: "Hey�I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were taking my efforts that way. I didn't mean to be heartless to you in this situation�I guess I'm confused too, a feeling not all too welcome to me." Netto raised his head slightly, looking at Rockman. He hadn't noticed before, but his Navi, and his brother, was a bit lower than him; not much, but enough to be noticed when they were seen together. He smiled a sigh, thinking he'd be seeing more of these fine details that set him and his twin brother apart later. "I mean, I can't imagine what it would be like if I was to suddenly, unexpectedly turn human one day�" he said, to be cut off by Netto: "You've been human before, haven't you?" he said heatedly, and regretted it half a second later.

"Yeah�" Rockman said, his gaze falling, and Netto was about to apologize when Rockman looked at him again, a smile on his face: "And those were Saito's happiest days, the days when he lived along with all of you as a person, and not just the shadow of himself he is now�" he said, causing Netto to look down: "Rockman�" he said, and was very surprised indeed when a bubbling, though cautious laughter filled the room: "I know what happened to Saito is a terrible, terrible thing, but�it's not all bad, is it, Netto-kun? I mean, it allowed us to meet, the first and greatest thing that happened in my life." Confused, Netto looked at him, thoughts put into motion in his head: "B-but�aren't you�" he began, to be cut of matter-of-factly by Rockman: "I'm not Saito, Netto-kun. I'm an artificial intelligence built on you late brother's DNA, causing me to look exactly like him and have most of his memories, but I'm not Saito�" he said, catching Netto's bewildered eyes: "I am me, simply."

As Netto was about to answer, to ask what the difference was, a loud beep went through the PET's interior, startling both of the Navis inside. "R-Rockman�?" Netto said, looking around for what might have caused the sound. Rockman listened also, Rockbuster formed in defense: "I don't know, Netto-kun. Be quiet." he said, only to be cut off in mid-sentence by another beep. They stayed still for a while, wary, figuring out the beeps came at a set frequency, and that they seemed to be taken in by the microphones on the PET's outside. "Rockman�" Netto started: "�that noise...I think I know what it is�", and Rockman's eyes widened as he retracted the Buster, opening monitor windows in cyberspace once more: "�and I think you're right, Netto-kun. It's the power meter alarm. The PET has less than 10% battery left, which means we have some five minutes until we go into a forced hibernation mode."

"Forced hibernation mode...?" Netto said, and Rockman barely held back a sigh of frustration: "We'll go to sleep, unable to do anything. And then, whoever sent us the chip can come and secure us both." he said, and Netto looked utterly clueless, the thought of a malicious intent behind his digitalization apparently not having crossed his mind. "So...you're saying somebody made a chip to make me into a program so that they could come here and kidnap us both in my PET?" he said, Rockman replying with a nod: "As long as we're here, we're potentially sitting duck. We have to get out. before we're made uncapable of doing so."

Netto yelped, and looked utterly clueless: "B-but, how could this happen? I mean, the PET is supposed to have a stand-by time of about a week, and I just took you out of the charger when I arrived home from school�" he said, and Rockman put his hand to his chin, thinking hard: "I don't quite get it either�like a lot of things about this entire situation. But for now, let's just suppose the generation of that data stream used a massive amount of power, far beyond what normal PET operation would even come close to. And also, of course, it's a huge strain for one PET to support two Navis at once. But the cause is more or less irrelevant right now. What is important now is�" he said, to have his sentence completed by a vary much more agitate Netto: "�what the hell will we do?! We're trapped in the PET which is down on the floor, a good space away from my computer and the only plug-in point in the entire house, unless you count. And it's not like the PET is going to grow legs and move by itself." Netto said, looking panicking at Rockman: "C'mon, help me out here."

Rockman had assumed his "thinking hard" position again, eyes closed: "Well�I do have a plan of sorts. Remember what NapalmMan's operator did aboard the "Queen Bohemia, when he stole �bercorp's Navi Booster?" he said, and Netto tried to remember: "Yeah, I think so�he�stood in another room and bounced the connector laser from his PET off of�mirrors�" he said, slowing down as his gaze fell on the monitor window Rockman had opened as he spoke, displaying his room, or more specifically his window in the real world: "�oh, yeah, I see, Rockman!", he yelled excitedly, clapping his hands together, and Rockman's concentrated face softened a little: "Now, don't be too happy just yet. We still have to calculate angles and other variables�" he said, and was interrupted by Netto: "But it's possible, right?" he said, and Rockman said, with a smile: "�but, it's possible, yes."

A few nerve-wracking seconds later, they had decided to go with Rockman's plan, and had figured out the PET 's vibrating feature might be the best way (and only way, as Netto had pointed out) to make the device shift it's position in the way they needed. But, broken nerves aside, after about three minutes they had managed to vibrate their way onto a conveniently dropped sock on the floor ("good thing I didn't tidy my room after all, eh?") positioning themselves in such a way that the laser connector beam should bounce off the window in such a manner as to hit the plug-in port on Netto's computer. "There..."Rockman said, letting out a reileved sigh, looking over at the battery monitoring screen he had put up beside them so that both could see how much time they had left until they had to be out of the PET. With the passing of time and the excessive usage of the PET's vibration feature, they were down to 2% battery power, and about a minute left of power before they were shut down automatically to prevent program damage. "Whew...okay, let's get out of here before I become a true nervous wreck..." Netto said, in spite of the situation kinda excited about how it felt to transmit. "So, let's plug-in!" he repeated, as a look of horror dawned on Rockman's face: "Uh-oh..."

"...uh-oh?" Netto repeated, looking over at the other Navi: "What's wrong?" he said, looking oer at the clock, displaying they had 55 seconds left: "Err...I just came to think of, who normally issues the plug-in command...?" Rockman said, and Netto answered without thinking: "Well, of course, that's the...operator...oh damn..." he said, realizing what Rockman was saying: "D-do you mean there's no way to issue the command from inside?!" he yelled, tempted to start running in circles while pulling at his hair. In addition, Rockman almost started to look panicky himself, which in no small way contributed to Netto's anxiety: "Well, you're the one running my PET. All I have on the outside are two buttons. You have to know how the command is issued, don't you?!" he rambled, before Rockman snapped his fingers: "Yes! Now I know. Or, well, think I know. I've never done this before, but it should be possible. Problem is..." he said, stopping in mid-sentence. "Yes? What?! What?!" Netto cried, and Rockman replied: "I'll need to be an official Navi, or equal in my independence. Which means, I will need you master passcode and user name." he said, and Netto stopped dead in his track, apparently considering this for half a second or so, before he lowered his head a little, a faint blush on his face: "Master User Name is "Netto-sama", Master Passcode is "Enzan no baka". Now, hurry up!!" he yelled, looking up at the timer, which displayed they had about 40 seconds left.

More nerve-crashing time off their hands, Rockman looked up from his latest screen when the alarm system notified them they had 10 seconds left until forced shut-down: "There. I think I've got it now. Let's give it a try and hope for the best." By this time, Netto had nearly collapsed on the floor: "Rockman...you kinda remind me of Enzan in crisis...how do you manage to keep so calm in crisis..." he mumbled, and got up: "Fine, but hurry up." he said, and the blue-clad Navi nodded, pushing a button, triggering a voiceover: "Transmission override has been activated. Transmission in 3, 2, 1, 0." Netto braced for impact, then for a second, then all went black.

* * *

About half a minute after the forced shutdown of Netto's PET, a white, unmarked car pulled up before the Hikari residence in Akihara, two men in grey jumpsuits getting out and striding over to the door, finding it unlocked. They nodded to one another, and entered, one of the persons pulling forth a PET when the other confirmed, quietly: "As the reports stated, on-one is home." The person with the PET looked at the screen for a few seconds, then replied. "Good. The chip's signal is coming from upstairs. Let's go." he said, and both the persons hurried upstairs, entering Netto's room. After a quick look around, the found his PET lying on the floor, and the person without a PET picked it up carefully, looking at it with a kind of awe, grinning: "This is kind of a legendary item, isn't it? The PET of Hikari Netto, in which resides Rockman.EXE...it would probably fetch a nice price on a black market somewhere..." he said.

The other person rolled his eyes, snatching the PET from him: "Give that here. We have to find out if they managed to escape somehow." he said, and the other person looked at him in disbelief: "Do you actually believe, judging from where we found the device, that they managed to pull of an escape? I believe the Master's Navi is growing hysterical, and that they're paying this Rockman more respect than he deserves..." he said, as the other put the PET into it's charger, booting it. A few seconds later, he sighed: "Or maybe they simply know a little more about digital beings than you do, moron." he said, pointing to the empty screen. The jaw of the PET-less nearly dropped to the floor, and the other took the PET out again, pointing to the door: "We're instructed to bring it anyways. Come on, let's go.". Doggedly they exited the house, and drove off, leaving no traces of their intrusion.

* * *

When Netto opened his eyes again, he looked straight up into a blue sky. "R-rockman...?" he mumbled, blinking, and as he turned his head he saw his comrade appear beside him in a flow of blue particles. The said Navi let out a huge sigh of relief, and sat down against a wall, leading Netto to see they had appeared in an alley of sorts, wherever they were. Then, it slowly dawned on him, and he asked Rockman fumblingly: "Err...Rockman. Are we where I think we are? I mean, this is not some kind of past-time used in forced hibernation, is it?" he asked nervously , and the blue Navi looked at him, a smile on his face: "No, we're outside. We just made it, though...but we made it. So, for you second welcome today...welcome to Net City, Netto-kun."

* * *

On a rooftop not too far away, two Navis sat together, prepped on the edge of a tall building, apparently surveilling something. Their faces, or mere appearences for that matter, were impossible to make out under their hooded visages. Suddenly, one of them spoke up, a light, though malicious voice: "Well, well...it would seem we were right after all..." it's owner said, before giggling slightly, and the other replied, a darker and more stern voice: "Indeed. Of course, we knew our human counterparts would underestimate the situation. Which of course was why Valkyrie-sama told us to disregard the entire human aspect of Phase 01." The owner of the light voice nodded fervently, and asked after a while: "So, what will I report to Valkyrie-sama?" he asked with another giggle, and the stern voice replied, with no small amount of glee in it: "Tell her Phase 01 of the plan is complete, and that Rockman and Hikari Netto has arrived in Net City. Tell her also we await her order to initiate Phase 02 with great anticipation..." it grinned, and the other Navi giggled once again, before both disappeared from Net City, leaving the rooftop as empty as ever.

Sorry for the humongous, gargantuan length, for all the intracate language, for all the technobabble, for the lack of cute and sexy things yet, and for all typos and other horrid things. Hope you can forgive me, and review with constructive criticism and the like.

In addition, I have finally fixed the issue with "Chapter 01a" and "01b", slapping them together to a brand spanking new chapter, "Chapter 01." period. So there. And forgive me for the clutter, please. >.
