                   "Huh, this child is so energetic! Much more than Shuko was!" Mr. Higsby said as he played with Trill.

Trill was swinging from Nenji's arm and laughing as Ribitta made sure he couldn't fall off from the arm and get hurt.

"Aw, but he is so cute!" Teto exclaimed in awe as she tried to not fuss over him, "I can't believe someone like him could have anything to do with this situation"

"Well, maybe he has some kind of power that can just instant kill our enemies!" Dingo exclaimed determinedly as Trill laughed at him, "Hey! I'm not funny! I'm dangerous!"

Trill dropped from Nenji's arm and Yuri caught him.

"Regardless, he is important. Right, Baryl?" Yuri asked with a knowing smile.

"That is true. Dr. Wily found him and gave him to me. He gave me specific instructions to take care of him and his sister, Iris" Baryl answered with a grin.

Everyone was surprised to hear this, but Kaito woke up and looked very distressed. Meiko and Miku looked at him with worry as he sighed.

"So, I am just like you..." Kaito said as he tried to come to reason with this.

"Hey! It is not so bad! I am able to live because of it! Also, I can travel to and from the NET! It isn't so bad!" Miku reassured him in a warm manner.

"She's right. This project has done so much for you, Miss Luka, and Hub. I can't image what kind of darkness it could hold" Meiko said calmly.

Kaito shook his head as Len snapped his fingers.

"If you want, why don't we just ask your mom?" Len suggested warmly, "Our parents are good friends! It shouldn't be too hard to just ask"

Kaito nodded his head as Len held his PET. Jasmine waited with them until she shook her head.

"Why don't we just go and see them?" she suggested.

"Well, I don't think they are in Nihon. My little sister was sent back home after the attack SciLab" Kaito answered.

"No! They're here! We can meet with them now!" Len said with a grin as he looked ready to run to the door.

"Wait! Not all of us should go" Meiko said seriously as she held Len by his shirt's collar, "We can't all just leave. So, who should go with Kaito and Len?"

"I would prefer to have Meiko with me, if that's alright. I could use the support" Kaito confessed.

"I want to come!" Jasmine said excitedly, "Oh! Luo can come too!"

Luo just grinned as Miku nodded her head.

"Sure. Please keep your PETs on in case we need to call you back" Miku said with a nod of her head.

With that, they left SciLab and followed Len to a hotel. As for the rest of the Net Saviors, they were just informed that Hub was able to return to the human world!

"Wow! He really is back!" Maylu exclaimed as Pride's eyes were wide.

"That's amazing! He's human again! He's back! I would love to study the program you used for this!" Pride exclaimed excitedly.

"Unfortunately, princess, you are not allowed to know about this. This program is supposed to be help others and not be known to others. Although Miss Hatsune did write a song about it" Dr. Wily said seriously as Pride looked a little sad about this.

"Well, now that we have the Crest Holders together, we should do be able to do this now" Dr. Wily said seriously.

"Uh, not all of us are here though, Dr. Wily" Maylu said as she gestured to some of their missing members.

"Where did they go?!" Dr. Hikari asked surprised.

"I think they went to ask Kaito's mother about his powers. I can't blame him. I would be surprised too" Luka said calmly as she held a smile.

The two doctor's jaws dropped as Lan laughed.

"This is why I called for help. Penny! Please come here!" Dr. Wily shouted.

Just then, Penny flew into the room and grinned at everyone.

"Thank you for helping us. I hope your father doesn't mind. Now, can you help us round up the other Crest Holders?" Dr. Wily asked seriously, "Oh, right! I have to make a phone call as well! We will wait for this meeting once everyone is together and I have finished my phone call"

With that, the doctor left to make his call as Penny grinned in delight.

"I shall find your friends, no worries!" she said in delight.

"I wouldn't go alone. Just in case, you should have someone with you" Raika suggested.

Before he could volunteer himself, Pride stopped him.

"I'll go. Chaud, Nenji, and Ribitta can come with me. The rest of you can wait here" Gumi said with a wink to Pride who giggled.

"Are you sure about this?" Gackpo asked seriously, "This could be dangerous"

"Relax. I've been in far more dangerous situations than this before. Nothing to worry about" Gumi reassured them, "Also, we have to wait for Dr. Wily to finish his call. So, this will be fine"

With that, she left with her team as Gackpo sighed. He shook his head as he turned his attention to Trill and Iris. There was something about those two that bothered him.

"Honestly, your hair is pretty. I am kind of envious. Hm, would you like to work for me?" Tesla asked with a grin, "I already work with Chaud. You modeling my products will be beneficial to all of us!"

"I can model for you, dear Tesla! Neru could also sing for your commercials too! She has a wonderful voice!" Charlie offered as Tesla smirked at him.

Iris smiled softly at them, but she shook her head.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I have to protect my little brother first" Iris informed them.

Arth, Anne, and Prima were having a nice snack at the hotel just as Kaito, Len, Meiko, Jasmine, and Luo entered the hotel and found them!

"Hey! Mom! Dad!" Len shouted eagerly as he rushed to them.

"Ah, nice to see you again, my son" Anne said warmly as she hugged him warmly, "Though, where is your sister?"

"She's with Miku. Don't worry, she's with her friends. She's some place safe too. Though, Kaito wanted to ask you a question, Miss Prima" Len said as he faced her.

"Oh? What is it? If you're looking for your little sister, she'll be joining us shortly" Prima answered as she grinned at him and looked a little dismayed to see him with Meiko, "Ah, well, what is it you wanted to ask me?"

"Mother... I just found out that something happened to me as a child. What happened?" Kaito asked in a pleading tone as he faced his mother with trembling hands.

Prima's head tilted to the right as she faced him. Arth looked a little tense for a moment, but he sighed.

"Well, they were bound to ask sooner or later. We should just tell them now" Arth said calmly as he turned to his son, "Yes, there is something unique about myself and Kaito. We were very ill with a terrible illness. This illness was slowly killing us. However, as we were searching for a cure, we meet with three doctors, Dr. Tadashi Hikari, Dr. Wily, and Dr. Cossak. The three of them were working on a project. This project would allow a person into both the human world and NET. Although, this was an interesting side effect, it was successful. Thanks to their help, I and Kaito are alive"

The group was in shock except for Jasmine.

"Fascinating! Who knew this project was used before?!" she exclaimed in awe.

"Wait, before?" Anne asked as she glanced at her husband.

"We just found out that Miku, Miss Luka, and Lan's twin brother used the same project to be revived as well. Though, Lan's twin was just brought back today. Kind of like a rebirth in a sense" Meiko answered, "Please keep this a secret. No one is supposed to know about this project nor the success it has. I know the public is wary of this at the moment..."

"Don't worry, Meiko. This will be a secret. Though, I do wonder how Dr. Hikari found out about it. I assumed Dr. Wily locked it up" Anne wondered.

Meiko looked at Kaito who was still shaking a bit. She helped him sit down and rubbed his back in a soothing manner. Prima glared at the girl in red as Jasmine seemed surprised at the cold gaze.

"Luo please find Kaito's little sister" Jasmine said in a whisper.

"Hm? Why?" Luo asked surprised.

"Just hurry. Something tells me this won't be an easy leave" Jasmine whispered back.

Luo was surprised by Jasmine's words, but she went to find Kaai. Jasmine then faced Prima who still held a dark expression.

"Prima, please relax. This is nothing to get upset over" Anne said gently, "You saved your son. He's just trying to calm himself down with this news"

Jasmine took a step away from Prima as Kaito looked up at his mother.

"I am aware, but I didn't know that little girl and that other lady using this project. It makes me a bit annoyed" Prima answered darkly.

Jasmine gulped as Luo greeted Kaai.

"Hi Luo! It has been so long! Is your girlfriend with you?" Kaai asked warmly as Luo hugged the little girl.

"We are doing just fine. However, I was sent to get you" Luo answered gently as Kaai's eyes were bright with excitement.

She took Luo's hand and walked towards her big brother and mother. However, Dark MegaMan jumped out of the NET and landed in the hotel's lobby!

"Dark MegaMan! What is he doing here?!" Len shouted as Arth looked surprised.

"It doesn't matter! I'll take care of him! Leon! Let's go!" Meiko yelled as she held her PET and Synchro Chip.

"I am ready to help!" her Navi shouted as the two of them Cross Fused.

Meiko then charged at the Navi using her red sword to clash against his buster.

"Ah, the Red Knight. I didn't expect to see you here, but I'm delighted!" Dark MegaMan snarled at her.

"Mom, dad, please come with me! We have to get you to safety with Rin!" Len said in an urgent tone as he tugged their hands towards him.

"Mother please leave with them. We are supposed to handle situations like this" Kaito urged her as he saw her icy glare.

Before Prima could say anything to him, Jasmine had Cross Fused and swiftly picked up Prima!

"I'll take her back! You help your girlfriend! We'll be back soon enough!" Jasmine reassured him as she summoned a little bit of her dragon power to keep Prima back.

"Thank you, Jasmine. That really does help" Kaito said in relief as she laughed and ran out of the hotel with Len and his parents behind her.

"Kaito! Where did Jasmine go?" Luo shouted as she and Kaai approached him and avoided Dark MegaMan.

Before Kaito could answer, Dark MegaMan blasted Meiko away and lunged straight at him! He gasped as he grabs his wrist!

"Let go of me!" Kaito yelled as he tried to pull his hand away from him.

"Sorry, but that is not going to happen! Extracting Crest data!" Dark MegaMan shouted as Kaito let out a scream!

Dark MegaMan chuckled as Luo pushed Kaai behind her in a frightening manner. Kaito let out a scream as blue lights sparked from him! After a few minutes, Dark MegaMan released him. Kaito fainted as Luo caught him.

"What did you do to my brother?!" Kaai exclaimed as Meiko growled.

"Nothing too damaging" Dark MegaMan chuckled as he then lunged towards her.

However, Luo pushed Kaai behind her as Dark MegaMan grabs her wrists. Before Luo could fight back, Dark MegaMan began to extract her Crest Data from her! Luo gave off a gray light as she tried to pull herself away from him.

"And done! Thanks for that!" Dark MegaMan shouted as he then kicked Luo in the stomach to immobilize her.

Luo clutched her stomach just as Meiko let out a yell and swung her sword at him. He leaned back to avoid her strike and then swiftly pulled the blade out of her hands. She gasped as he then grabs her wrist. She let out a painful scream as red lights burst from her! He released her wrist as Meiko was forced to transform back to herself.

"Meiko!" Leon shouted with worry as the PET and Synchro chip landed at her side.

She fell to her knees as she panted heavily.

"Thank you for making my job so much easier. Now, onto the others!" Dark MegaMan said in a mocking tone as Meiko growled at him.

He then disappeared in a stream of data as Kaai rushed to her brother's side. She shook him several times as she cried.

"That... was unexpected..." Luo said in pain as she hugged her stomach.

"It doesn't matter. We have to head back to the lab and warn the others. Ow!" Meiko shouted in pain as she tried to stand up but was too weak to do that.

"We can't do anything like this, but our Navis can" Luo said as she held hers, "Lapis go to the lab and warn them. They need to know about this"

"Understand!" Lapis said as she teleported out of the PET and ran through the NET.

"You heard her, Leon. Go and warn them!" Meiko said seriously as she held her PET.

"On it!" Leon shouted as he went into the NET.

"The rest of us can rest here until we are ready to come back" Meiko said as she looked over everyone.

Penny flew above Chaud, Nenji, Ribitta, and Gumi towards the hotel until they meet up with Len, his parents, Jasmine, and Prima!

"What are you doing here?" Len asked surprised as his parents looked at his friends.

"The doctors need all the Crest Holders to come back to the lab. We came to get you" Ribitta answered.

"Uh, things just got a whole lot more complicated..." Len said in a nervous tone.

"What happened? Hey, why is Jasmine Cross Fused?" Nenji asked curiously as he looked confused.

Before anyone could do anything, Dark MegaMan jumped out of the NET and appeared before them!

"Dark MegaMan!" Chaud shouted as Jasmine backflipped away with Prima still in her arms.

Penny reacted first and dove right at him! The two of them began to fist fight each other while everyone ducked away from their attacks!

"We have to help her!" Gumi shouted as she looked at the fight.

"We know, but we have to get my parents and Kaito's mother out of here! Some of our friends are at the hotel! They are probably hurt because of Dark MegaMan!" Len shouted worriedly as he stood in front of his parents.

"What does he even want from us?!" Nenji yelled to them.

"Really?! They are probably after our Crests!" Ribitta shouted, "They told us not to fight without a good reason!"

"I think this is a good reason! Gumi! Let's do this! ProtoMan get ready!" Chaud shouted as Gumi nodded in agreement.

The two of them Cross Fused with their Navis as they looked up at Dark MegaMan fighting Penny.

"We have to break them up and then attack Dark MegaMan from all angels!" Chaud shouted.

"Nenji! Ribitta! Help Len and Jasmine get their parents back to the lab. We'll help Penny and get back to the others at the hotel!" Gumi ordered as she held her gun.

"Got it! Let's move people! We've got to get you to safety!" Nenji ordered as he ushered them to get up and leave.

Gumi watched them leave and head back to the lab.

"Really? Three against one? Is that supposed to be fair?" Dark MegaMan taunted.

"I don't think of it as fair. More like an advantage" Chaud said simply as he lunged at Dark MegaMan to cut him down.

However, Dark MegaMan leaned away from his strike and then tried to reach out to him. Gumi was able to pull Chaud away just in time as Penny launched a green beam at him! Dark MegaMan was knocked away, but he wasn't down!

"Water Sword!" Chaud shouted as the blades changed to blue.

Penny flew to Chaud's side as Gumi loaded a water bullet into her gun. Chaud jumped up and raised his blade to try and slam it down on Dark MegaMan. The Navi ran pass him as Penny tried to grab the Navi. However, Gumi aimed her gun and tried to shoot him. Dark MegaMan was able to run in front of Penny just as Gumi fired!

"Gah!" Penny exclaimed as she tried to fly away.

The water bullet hit her leg and caused her to remain on the ground!

"Penny!" Gumi shouted with worry as she rushed to her aid and loaded a heal bullet into her gun.

However, Dark MegaMan rushed behind Gumi and grabs her shoulder! Gumi let out a scream as she dropped her gun and felt her Crest being taken from her!

"Humans, so sentimental. I'll never understand that" Dark MegaMan confessed as he took her Crest away!

Gumi transformed back to herself as her PET and Synchro Chip fell on the ground.

"Gumi!" IA exclaimed with worry as Gumi fainted.

Chaud noticed that Dark MegaMan was distracted for a bit and lunged forward with the sword in hand. Dark MegaMan didn't have time to move, but Chaud was able to strike his side!

"You're smart, but that won't be enough to stop me!" Dark MegaMan exclaimed as he then grabs Chaud's wrist.

Chaud let out a scream as Dark MegaMan took away his Crest! Chaud then fell back as his PET and Synchro chip landed on the ground besides him.

"Chaud!" ProtoMan shouted as Dark MegaMan jumped back into the NET to recover and meet with Iroha and Dr. Riegal at SciLab.

Meiko, Kaito, and Luo rushed towards their friends after resting.

"What happened?..." Kaito asked in a worried tone.

Luo rushed to them as Penny was trying to reboot herself.

"Dark MegaMan... He did this..." she said sadly, "I failed... I wasn't combat ready"

Everyone was silent as they went to work to help their friends.

"Guys! Dark MegaMan is here!" Nenji yelled loudly as he entered the lab with everyone.

"What do you mean?" Raika asked surprised as he faced his friend.

"He means us!" Iroha shouted as she appeared out of the NET and before the group.

She swiftly lunged at Ribitta to grab her wrist! Ribitta let out a scream as she felt her Crest data being taken away!

"They are after our Crests! Scatter!" Raika yelled to the group as he gripped his PET, "SearchMan
