Chapter 6
“So…this is where everything happened,” Obelisk said as he stood in front of the large crater in the Forestheart, “And they said Jazz was destroyed in the blast?”
“Apparently,” Ryu replied a tad sceptical, “But if it is the Jazz that we’ve heard about, he’s probably still alive and kicking somewhere.”
It had been a month since the attack, and N.O.E.T. had fallen. Jack turned himself in not too long after AxeMan’s self-destruction, much to the surprise of the NetAce and everyone else. Chaud had also left Dentech City after, leaving only Lan and MegaMan as the only heroes to defend the city, other than the two ace battlers.
“Well, nothing’s happened since,” Obelisk stated as he swung his lance once, “Other than the occasional left over virus. Hmph, pushovers. Sometimes I wonder why we even came here, I’m yet to see a strong opponent.”
“That hasn’t been beaten by MegaMan,” Ryu murmured, “We may have to challenge those two someday, considering how well they placed in the Tournament.”
The slayer nodded as he stabbed his weapon into the ground and folded his arms over.
“Speaking of which, when is the next N1 Grand Prix?” he asked, looking up.
“In a couple of months,” the ace said, “Think we should enter? It’ll be far more challenging that those jokes that we went to back at home.”
“Why not? Maybe we’ll face MegaMan, assuming he isn’t knocked out yet,” Obelisk replied half-heartedly.
“My, aren’t we confident,” Ryu replied dryly, as he reached for the adaptor, “I’m jacking you out now.”
“Okay,” Obelisk said as he disintegrated into millions of pixels that quickly formed into the word LOGOUT, then vanished.
“Jack in! Sakura, power up!” Miaka shouted cheerfully as she sent her Navi into the Net Area of Dentech Academy; Testing Area.
A pink bolt of lightning struck the ground of the bland area as Sakura materialized from it and spreaded out her small pair of wings on her back.
“Ready, Kenny-Kun?” the operator asked to Ken.
“You bet,” he said as he whipped up his chord, “Jack in! MirrorMan, power up!”
A quick flash of light filled the area as the mirror plated Navi quickly formed in front of Sakura, a hand resting against his hip.
“Let’s go!” He said, albeit impatiently as the pink Navi drew her short sword.
“Okay!” Sakura shouted as she leapt up and shot at MirrorMan, showing very well that she was a quick Navi.
Sakura diced around and landed so she could quickly leap at the mirrored Navi’s backside, swinging her sword out as she closed in. Ken quickly warned his Navi, causing him to whip around at the last possible second and snap his arm up, blocking the blade with his mere gauntlet.
“Defence is our specialty,” the boy said with a smirk as he whipped up a chip, “Vine Arrow, Battle Chip in! Download!”
First a bow formed in MirrorMan’s hand, secondly a quiver materialized as a green coloured arrow was plucked from it. He leapt back, causing Sakura to stumble forward as he quickly fired off his arrow at her.
“Sakura! Slash like a maniac!” Miaka shouted, quickly chopping at the air in comical sight, causing Ken to sweat drop.
The Navi nodded as she swung several times, slicing the projectile apart with a smile. MirrorMan made no response as the pieces flashed green as vines erupted from them, wrapping around the blade. Sakura shrieked as she threw her blade down, the vines locking it to the ground.
“Not a bad move,” Ken said with an approving glance, “In the last fight she missed five times and my arrow still got her.”
“I know…” Miaka said with a sigh.
“Still want to continue?” he asked as he whipped up another arrow chip.
Before Miaka could reply, the bell rang and lunch was over. Both operators fell silent as they logged their Navis out.
“See you later,” Ken said as he left.
“Yeah, thanks!” the girl said before looking to Sakura, “Well, we’re getting better. We just need a big push.”
“Yeah,” Sakura said as Miaka went back to class.
“Oh…that will happen…soon enough,” a voice, belonging to a dark figure said from outside by an open window, “You and everyone else…”
“Apparently,” Ryu replied a tad sceptical, “But if it is the Jazz that we’ve heard about, he’s probably still alive and kicking somewhere.”

EPIC FORESHADOWING IS EPIC. But really, in the original here Ryu and Obelisk act like pricks (a byproduct of me being a bit of a douchebag on the RP Board at the time) while in the rewrite Estrel Galaxia is the Green Slayer's operator. She has Ryu's backstory, but an entirely different personality
