*10 years after the last appearance of Hikari and his PET MegaMan...
Things have changed. Life is easier. Virus amounts are down, and it seems as if there is no one trying to take over the world for once. Navi ghosts, once a threat in many areas, have been removed through the expert actions of the Professional Netbattlers. This same group has suceeded in completely repressing all further virus breakouts so far...
But everything is not as it seems, for, as is usually the case, there is something waiting, waiting to be discovered, and it may have found a way...*
<Receptionist> "Logging in?"
"Yes, doing a check up on Gate Centeral near the square."
He was in the main lobby of the Netbattler's center of command on Mari Bay, and, after flashing his ID to the receptionist, he went over to the terminal and logged on.
"You know the path, Starfall, just routine."
<Starfall> "But routine is BORING. There's never anything worth our while in here."
"Maybe not... But these things need to be done."
<Starfall> "Yeah yeah... Approaching the gates now."
"That was quick."
<Starfall> "Well, the Net doesn't have viruses all over the place anymore, if you don't have to slog your way through a good 15 of them on your way there, it's not too ba..."
"Starfall? What is it?"
*Scans his PET moniter*
"That's odd. That's a pretty big virus..."
<Starfall> "Indeed, excellent."
"I suggest you hurry, it's headed for the Undernet Gate."
<Starfall> "Yeah, better get it before it gets away from me."
*Running forwards, charging his buster, Starfall approaches the virus.*
<Starfall> "Combat protocol initiate. Seal off quandrent to protect data and bystandards."
*The mill of data around him responded to the phrases, limiting off an area large enough for combat, but to restrict the fight from corrupting the data streaming around it*
<Starfall> "Now you're m..."
"Blast... The gate was in the field... It got away. End combat protocol..."
<Starfall> "Blast. That was something new... Now what?"
"I don't know. Hold on right there, and I'll go make a recording, and then report."
<Starfall> "Alright."
