Operator-to-Navi

Chapter I Part 1: Not Quite Alike

"Think of something.........RED!!"

"Blood."

"ACK!!! Is that the only thing that comes to mind?!"

"If I think red, I think blood, I can't help it."

"Ugh! No wonder that test told you you could be an anime-villain!"

"'EY!!!"

This argument was between two siblings. Their names were Shine and Ray. Shine was the one who asked Ray to think of something red, and Ray was the one who could be an anime-villain. Both kids were 14 years of age, and a twin, but they were nothing alike.

Shine was a little hyperactive, and liked to eat sweets until she'd explode. Problem was, no matter how much Shine eats, she won't gain a pound. She had chalk white hair, even at her young age, and her eyes were an odd, purple color. Her eyes showed innocence time and time again, and it was rather hard to piss her off. Her hair was done in four ponytails, two on each side of her head, but there was still a mass of short hair hanging on her neck. She always wore bright colors, such as what she was wearing at the moment. She wore a light yellow tank top with a knot near her breasts, seeing as it had actually been your average shirt. It was strange, but you could never see the young girl's bra. She also wore some light orange shorts. The shorts hardly reached her knees, and she wore some easy step-in shoes.

Now, Ray, oh boy. Unlike the name might say, Ray was a girl. Her original name was Raye with an 'e', but she constantly shifted it to Ray without the extra 'e'. Ray was a quiet gall most of the time, but she hardly smiled and was easily steamed. There was always a frown on her face, no matter where she was. Her hair was a shimmering gray hue, and her eyes were a flaming magenta color. Her hair was extremely long, seeing as she never allowed anyone to touch her 'sacred' mass of locks. It was done in a ponytail at the back of her neck, and when she jerked her head viciously, her hair instantly jerked along with it. Unlike Shine, Ray only wore dark colors, seeing as she was a Goth. She had spiked collars around her wrists and her neck, spiked black gauntlets with the fingers missing, black leather pants and the same kind of jacket over her pitch black cotton shirt. Her boots were made out of leather too, and black as the night.

Strangely enough, those two never got bored of each other.

Shine gave a sigh and asked exasperatedly: "Second thing that comes to mind?"

Ray smirked and answered: "Zero Omega."

Shine nearly tumbled over in shock.

"Zero!? You gotta be kidding me!!" she asked, but Ray shook her head.

"Nope. I think he's a hunk. Too bad he's got Iris."

Ray was known to be completely obsessed with everything related to Mega Man, except for Mega Man Legends. She found it an insult for the original Mega Man, Mega Man X and MegaMan.EXE. Shine wasn't really interested, but she did know a few characters. There were few that she really liked though. She liked Roll.EXE best, but only because she was dressed in pink armor.

Shine gave a sigh.

"You, are impossible," she said.

Ray smirked again and said: "Think something blue."

"Mega Man X," Shine automatically said, and she instantly covered her mouth as Ray laughed coldly.

"Oh, so I can't think Zero's a hunk, and you're allowed to like X? That's not fair!" she complained, though it was in her usual cold voice.

Shine chuckled nervously, a ruby blush staining her cheeks as she rubbed the back of her neck.

"Well uh... I just think he's cute."

"I thought he was a 'she'."

"HEY!!"

"Well, anyone would with a voice like that from MMX4."

Shine huffed a little, and pouted, crossing her arms just below her breasts. Ray didn't respond to that, and simply lay down on the couch, arms behind her head and one knee pulled up while the other swayed back and forth over the armrest. Shine was seated in the lazy armchair opposite of the couch. She watched her twin gaze up at the ceiling, her hair falling across the armrest she was lying her head on.

"Ray, why won't you let others touch your hair?" she asked finally, unable to stop herself.

Ray glared at her sister and said: "Because it's MY hair!!"

With that, she turned to the ceiling again. Shine shook her head softly. Her sister was impossible to deal with sometimes.

"Hey, toss my GBA!!" Ray suddenly said.

Shine looked up in confusion, then let out an 'oh', and tossed the black Gameboy Advance to her sister. Ray caught it easily, and flicked it on. Ray had been working day and night on 'MegaMan Battle Network 3 BLUE' to get where she was right now. Shine walked over to her sister and watched her play the game with slight awe. Ray managed to delete all enemies with an 'S' level, and easily took care of the Navi-ghosts she encountered.

However, Shine noticed that Ray staid in a certain area.

"What are you doing?" Shine asked after Ray took care of a set of Mettaurs.

Ray saved the game, and continued to roam the area.

"I'm looking for someone---GOTCHA!!!" she suddenly exclaimed as a cloaked Navi showed up.

Shine watched in fascination as Ray started fighting the Navi, but actually showed troubles in doing so. Ray was muttering curses every now and then as she chose a special series of different Sword chips, and hit the Navi with one whopper of a blade, instantly deleting it.

"Finally!!" Ray said, and watched the level. "Level 3... damn," she said, but smirked as the Navi's face showed up as a reward.

She instantly saved, and finally moved further away from the area.

"Who was that?" Shine asked. "He looked like that black Bioroid Mega Man had to fight."

Ray nodded and said: "That was Bass. Only as a Navi---what the?! OW!!"

Ray gave a yelp as her GBA gave a short discharge, making her drop it to the ground.

Shine and Ray both stood up, staring as electric sparks surrounded the portable game, both unsure of what was going on. But before they could think anything of it, a larger discharge followed, blinding them, and knocking them out.

When Shine woke up, she found herself staring at a sky, framed by large trees. She didn't know what had happened, but she didn't like it.

"Ugh... Ray... where are we?" she asked, expecting some snide remark.

None came.

Shine instantly shot up and looked around. She was alone. The young whitehead paled visibly, when she noticed she wore different clothing. Her tank top was still the same, but she wore a longer pair of pants of the same color as her shorts, and she wore a light red jacket that came just below her breasts. She easily recognized it as the jacket she always wore when going out during the summer. Also, she wore her easy sneakers and light pink socks.

"RAY!!!" she called out in desperation.

"Shine!! I'm right here!!" a voice suddenly said, and Shine gave a yelp, staring at the strange contraption strapped to a belt on her waist.

She hadn't noticed it before, but the thing seemed familiar. She pulled it out and stared at the screen, giving a gasp of shock.

"WHAT are you staring at?!" the image of her sister said, hands on her hips.

However, she wore something completely different now. She wore light gray spandex with a pitch-black armor covering her chest, legs and her arms. She had a helmet on her head, and part of her gray hair stood up at the front, forming a phoenix's mane style, which were actually three spikes. The rest was tied in a ponytail at the back of her neck, and she had a strange pack on her back, as well as an odd tail waving around behind her. On her forehead, was a blood red gem, sparkling a little.

Shine tried to form words, but she couldn't.

"Shine!! What's the deal!? And WHY am I dressed as a Navi?!?" Ray demanded.

That's when it dawned to Shine what she was holding. A PET. Shine stuttered for a moment.

"Uh um uh... because you uh... you ARE a Navi," she finally said.

Ray's eyes instantly widened and her jaw dropped a little.

"You... you're joking... right?" she asked.

Shine shook her head and said: "If what I'm holding is a PET, then you're the Navi in it."

Ray was silent for a moment, then she suddenly smirked.

"Cool."

Shine toppled over in surprise.

"What!?" Ray asked. "What'd I say?!

The whitehead gave a sigh.

"Nothing, never mind."

"One problem though."

"Which is?"

"You're my operator."

Shine blinked down at her sister.

"Excuse me?"

"Well, unless you trust me in someone else's hands, I'm YOUR Navi, and you know nothing of MegaMan Battle Network."

"......Well, you do. Can't you help me?"

Ray raised an eyebrow at her sister.

"I suppose. But maybe it's better that you go through the basics with me before we leave this place. I'll need some chips you know."

Shine nodded.

"Okay, let's do it."

Shine was a fast learner, and she got the basics pretty easily. However, Ray wasn't very glad with her name, and said she needed a new one.

"Like what?" Shine asked.

"I don't know!!" Ray exclaimed. "As long as it has something to do with darkness!"

Shine thought for a while as she tried to get out of the forest they were in.

"How about..." Shine trailed off, thinking of something. "...uh... Muramasa."

Ray blinked and asked: "Where'd you get that?"

"Remember Masa and Mune from Chrono Trigger?"

"Yeah."

"And Mura and Same from that story someone wrote on FanFiction?"

"You talking about that Riding With The Dragons story? Yeah, I remember those two."

Shine smiled and said: "Well, I used the names of the eldest two."

Ray thought for a moment, then shrugged.

"Why not," Muramasa said calmly. "Now let's get out of here!!"

"Shine wait!!" Muramasa suddenly said, and Shine did as her Navi said.

"What?" she asked.

"Listen!!" Muramasa said softly.

"Dex, you idiot!!" a girl's voice said. "You got us lost again!!"

"I did not!! That was Lan's fault!!" a boy's voice said.

"Hey!! How can it be my fault when you're the one leading?!" another boy's voice said.

"Oh gosh," a different girl's voice said.

"Hey!! Calm down everybody!!" another voice called out.

"Sounds like we found Lan and his friends," Muramasa said.

Shine nodded and walked over. The group was facing away from her, but she could easily see them. Muramasa watched from the PET's screen.

"Lan, Mayl, Yai, Dex and... OH SHIT!!" she suddenly hissed quietly. "Not that guy too!!"

One of the kids in the group wasn't even bothering with the fight and simply watched the sky, hands in his pockets, his white and black hair waving about slightly. He wore some easy camo pants, a black shirt with a red jacket over it, and wore some loose sneakers on his feet.

"Who's that?" Shine asked silently.

"That would be Chaud," Muramasa explained. "Trust me, he's an asshole."

Shine nodded.

When the argument threatened to become physical, Shine cleared her throat to make everyone look at her, even Chaud.

"Sorry to interrupt," Shine said innocently, "but shouldn't you at least try to find a way out of here?"

"This is all Lan's fault!!" Dex said angrily. "Let him get us out of here!!"

"Why you!!" Lan hissed.

"Lan!! Calm down!!" MegaMan said.

It didn't help, and the argument started all over again. Muramasa had her arms crossed and was tapping her fingers on her arm impatiently, and sighed, before fiddling with the controls of the PET. Finally, a map of some sorts popped up, and Muramasa easily found their location. Everyone was still fighting though, so, she did the only thing to quiet them down.

"EVERYBODY SHUT UP!!!!!" she screamed out, and silence reigned instantly.

Muramasa smirked, then turned to her operator.

"I opened the satellite map," she said. "If we head north-northwest from here, we should end up at Okuden Valley."

Shine smiled.

"Thanks Muramasa," she said.

"Don't mention it," her Navi said with a scoff.

Chaud blinked.

'That's one loud Navi,' he found himself thinking.

After a few minutes, the group arrived at Okuden Valley, like Muramasa had said they would.

"Whoo!!" Lan exclaimed. "Finally! I thought we'd never get out of there!!"

Mayl smiled, then suddenly turned to Shine.

"Hey! We never introduced!! I'm Mayl!" she said, extending her hand.

"I'm Shine," the whitehead said with a smile, shaking the girl's hand.

Yai walked over with a smile and said: "I'm Yai, and I'm the richest girl around, so you better treat me with respect!"

Before Shine could say anything, Muramasa said coldly: "If you respect us, we will respect you."

Yai blinked then shrugged.

"Your Navi's a little grouchy."

"What was that?!" Muramasa hissed angrily.

Shine rolled her eyes and said: "Easy to anger too, so watch out."

Muramasa humhped and turned her back to the others.

The young whitehead turned to Dex and asked: "And you are?"

Dex grinned wickedly and said: "I'm Dex, and you better treat me with respect unless you want your Navi deleted!"

The gang sweatdropped a little, Shine too, because she knew how many times her sis beat him on Level S.

"Baka," they heard Muramasa mumble.

Dex blinked and asked: "What'd she say?" to which Shine said: "Don't bother."

Lan smiled and said: "Name's Lan. Where're you from?"

Shine flinched a little, but not enough to notice. She hadn't thought of that, and she didn't know much about this place, so she was lucky that Muramasa helped her out.

"We're from Den City, but we left a few years ago," the Navi said, still not facing the group.

Chaud scoffed and said: "Really? I've never seen you around."

Shine smiled and said: "I've never seen you before either, so we're even!"

A slight chuckle came from Muramasa and her shoulders shook lightly. Chaud frowned angrily. Shine simply smiled innocently with a look that read what-did-I-say?

"Why did you say we were from Den City?" Shine asked her Navi once they were alone.

"Couldn't think of anything else," Muramasa answered plainly.

"Ah."

Shine watched everyone for a moment. Mayl was talking to Lan, Dex was looking for someone to NetBattle with, Yai was fishing, strangely enough, and she had no idea where Chaud was at the moment. Things were just going easy. But for Muramasa it was a little too easy.

"I'M BORED!!" she called out.

"And what am I supposed to do about that?" Shine asked.

Muramasa thought for a moment, and suddenly noticed Dex challenging some rookie NetBattlers. A vicious smirk formed, and Shine sighed.

"No."

"Ah! Don't be such a party-pooper!! COME ON!!!"

".........Oh fine!"

"Dex, forget it, they won't fight you," Lan said with a smirk.

Dex grumbled something inaudible, and kicked a stone away. Chaud watched from a distance, not wanting to be involved with any of them. Especially that new kid. He had a feeling there was something terribly wrong with her. Not only with her coloration, but also with that Navi of hers.

"Hey Dex!" a voice suddenly shouted, and the mentioned boy turned to face Shine. "Care to NetBatlle? Muramasa's a little bored, and she'll whine my ears off if I don't think of something."

"I. Do. NOT. Whine," Muramasa hissed through clenched teeth. "I complain, but I don't whine!!"

Chaud raised an eyebrow. Muramasa acted like she was her own person. Like she wasn't someone's Navi, but a person with her own rational thoughts.

"Call it whatever you want," Shine said merrily.

"Heheh," Dex said. "I hope your Navi can stand to lose."

"YOU'RE the one who's going to lose here!!" Muramasa said.

Lan watched it all as Dex got out a miniature battle arena, and jacked GutsMan in, while Shine jacked Muramasa in.

"GutsMan! Jack in!! NetBattle mode!!"

"YEEEHAAW!! Execute!!

"Muramasa.EXE!! Plug in!! Fight routine set!!"

"Transmitted and executed."

Muramasa was an extra few feet taller than GutsMan because of her spiked hair, but GutsMan looked far more menacing with all those metallic muscles. The female Navi wasn't afraid though. She'd beaten this guy too many times to keep count in the game and knew all his moves from the back of her head. Muramasa grinned a bloodthirsty grin and pretended to roll up her sleeves, before spreading her legs and curling her hands into claws as the fingers grew pointed.

"Bring it on tough guy," she taunted with that grin still on her face.

GutsMan wasn't intimidated by the girl, and got in a battle position.

Dex smirked and said: "You're going down girl."

Shine was lightly shivering as she watched Muramasa taunting GutsMan, and she wasn't too sure if she would be able to make it. What if this proved to be too hard for Muramasa to handle? The games weren't real, so this would probably be a lot harder. For one, the battlefield was unlimited, and you could get anywhere! Would that be good, or bad?

She didn't know, but she hoped Muramasa could handle herself.

GutsMan smirked, and suddenly pulled back his hands. Muramasa's eyes narrowed. She knew that move. Easily.

She took a leap, right before GutsMan slammed the ground with both hands, which had reverted into one giant hammer. She flipped and landed behind GutsMan. Before the giant knew where she'd gone, she screamed and delivered a furious roundhouse kick that sent the other Navi flying for awhile, before crashing in the ground.

GutsMan shook his head and stood up. Another scream followed and he looked up to see Muramasa soaring through the air, and then rushing down with one leg extended. GutsMan smirked and grabbed the girl's ankle, who cried out as GutsMan slammed her against the ground a few times, before sending her away. Muramasa dug her pointed fingers in the ground, and skidded to a halt, a calm look on her face, surprisingly, and her eyes shut.

"YEEHAAAW!!" GutsMan exclaimed in triumph.

Muramasa slowly opened her eyes, and looked up, still crouched on the ground. Slowly, she stood up, and her eyebrows kept lowering as she did, until the tips seemed to touch her nose.

"Don't. Think. You've. Won," she hissed, anger seeping steadily in her voice.

Dex blinked in confusion and everyone just stared. Mayl, Yai and Lan had walked over to watch the battle, while Chaud watched from a distance. Shine was getting scared for her Navi, when she suddenly realized that there was a way to win a little more easily.

She quickly reached in her pocket, and pulled out a bunch of chips.

'Oh! Which to pick?! Right now, I wish I knew a little more about this!'

Her eyes scanned the bunch of chips, still contemplating which to pick.

'Ah, to hell with this!' she thought, and randomly picked one.

Finally, Shine slid in the chip.

Muramasa suddenly stretched her right hand, and it glowed brightly, shifting into a pretty large violet sword. With a furious scream, the black and gray Navi shot forward, almost too fast for anyone to notice, and lashed out violently. The lash hit the Navi emblem on GutsMan's chest, making the Navi stumble back.

The sword vanished, but Muramasa kept lashing out, only with her fingers, before starting to punch and kick furiously. The punches and kicks flew at the other Navi with great speed that couldn't be matched by the bigger Navi, so GutsMan took most of the hits.

Finally, GutsMan had enough, and delivered the other Navi a strong punch to her jaw, sending her flying away.

The girl landed on her stomach in a heap. Not moving.

"Muramasa!!" Shine cried out in horror.

Chaud knew that there was no way for the other Navi to win now. It would be better for Shine to just give up. But the girl wouldn't quit. That much was clear.

"Come on!! Get up!! Get up!!"

The female Navi twitched her fingers, and somehow, managed to get into an upright position -- right before falling to her knees again. One hand moved to her aching jaw, which had turned a light red because of the punch delivered there. She winced at the pain, but she kept her hand there, as if she could somehow ease the burn.

Muramasa suddenly screamed in pain as GutsMan pulled her to her feet -- by her hair!! And if there was one thing she didn't like, it was people touching her hair, much less PULL on it!!

"YOU BASTARD!!!" she screamed when GutsMan started laughing. "LET. GO. OF. MY. HAIR!!!"

Both of Muramasa's hands suddenly shifted, forming a set of deadly Busters, which were aimed at the no longer laughing Navi.

"Uh-oh," he mumbled, right before a pair of whines followed, and the blasts shot GutsMan away.

Muramasa landed on her feet on the ground, aimed both Busters, and started to rapidly fire bursts of plasma at the other Navi, who tried with all his power to dodge, but was unable to. The blasts kept hitting him over and over, until Muramasa began to charge again holding the barrels together to make it form one giant burst of plasma.

Again, she took aim, and fired.

"GutsMan! JACK OUT!!"

GutsMan jacked out just in time to avoid the blast.

Shine gave a sigh of relief, and plugged out.

"You okay, Muramasa?" she asked worriedly.

Muramasa nodded softly, a hand on her jaw, calmly rubbing the forming bruise.

"I'll be fine. He just caught me off guard."

Dex looked a little angry, but finally gave a sigh. The girl was just good.

He walked over and said: "Nice fight there."

"Huh??" Shine mumbled, confused. "Oh! Uh, thanks, I guess. But if GutsMan hadn't pulled Muramasa's hair, I don't think she would've won."

Muramasa simply glared, as if not wanting to talk, but Dex understood perfectly.

Chaud had been surprised that Shine had actually managed to win. It had seemed a little hopeless for the girl, but apparently, either the Navi was mighty strong, or Shine was a good NetBattler. He wasn't sure which was correct.

Maybe both, but he wasn't too sure.

"OW!!" Muramasa exclaimed when the pink armored Roll checked her jaw.

All Navis had been allowed in a vacant arena, where they could get to know the new Navi on the block, so to say.

"That's a pretty nasty bruise there," Roll muttered, and calmly used her healing powers to heal it.

MegaMan watched as Muramasa opened her mouth and then shut it to make sure it didn't hurt, before standing up with a huff and dusting herself off.

"You know, I could've handled myself just fine," she mumbled angrily.

"As if," an unfamiliar voice said.

Muramasa looked up and growled at the red armored Navi.

"I don't know who you are, but you have no right to say what I can or cannot!" she hissed.

ProtoMan only scoffed.

'Great. Just what I need! A cyber-version of Chaud!!'

Shine quietly ate her portion of fried fish as she watched the others eat once in awhile. She was amazed by the large amount of food Lan could eat. How could he stuff all of that in his stomach? She had no idea.

Chaud had taken his share of fish and was sitting just outside a tent, his gaze anywhere but on them. Shine wondered why he wouldn't join them. She figured that Chaud was around the same age as Lan and the others, but Chaud made it sound like he had reached adulthood years ago. The guy was an enigma to her, and that was something she didn't like. She didn't enjoy not knowing people, because it made her feel that they were hiding stuff from her.

So, she got up from her seat, grabbing her plate and told the others she was going to sit with Chaud for awhile, and headed toward him. Lan watched her for awhile, not knowing why, but feeling some kind of innocence around her, as if she didn't believe in evil or something.

'Ah! That's ridiculous,' he thought, and resumed eating.

Chaud simply stared ahead as he ate, not even bothering to look at the group. He had no intention of joining them. The only reason he was here, was to make sure the dam once again didn't explode or something. The rest of this camp was pointless in his opinion.

He looked up when he heard someone clear her throat, and stared straight into a pair of purple orbs framed by white eyebrows.

Inside, Chaud cursed a few times, then asked coldly: "What do you want?"

Shine didn't seem affected, and just smiled, before asking: "Nothing. Can I sit here?"

Chaud was surprised. Most people always showed signs of fear or anger when he talked like that, but this girl didn't even flinch. It was like she was actually used to being talked to like that. Chaud threw that idea aside though.

"Whatever," he mumbled, looking straight ahead again, not looking at her as he ate.

Shine noticed but still sat down beside him on the bench, and began to munch on her food.

Both of them ate in silence, Chaud because he didn't want to talk, and Shine because she wasn't sure what to say. Shine studied the view carefully, taking note that they had a pretty nice view of the campingsite. The trees were pretty high, but there was a path leading through the dense thicket, so it couldn't be that easy to get lost, unless you left the road of course. The river flowed past them quietly, a fish sometimes jumping up trying to swim up against the stream.

"Nice view from out here," Shine finally said.

Chaud looked at her briefly from the corner of his eyes and humphed, saying: "Whatever."

Shine took a bite of her food, looking at Chaud a little peculiar. She had a feeling he was avoiding conversation with her.

"You're an odd bird, know that?" she asked.

"Whatever."

Shine raised an eyebrow.

'Yep. He's avoiding conversation,' she thought angrily. 'What would sis do about this? ...... Oh yeah!'

A nasty smile formed on her face as she looked at Chaud. He still wouldn't look at her.

She moved over and whispered something in his ear, causing him to choke on his food. He then whirled around to face her, eyes wide.

"W-w-what?!" he demanded, feeling his face grow hot with embarrassment.

Shine laughed at the look he was giving her and managed to get out: "I was kidding!! Don't take everything so serious, Grumpy!!"

"Well I gue--Grumpy?!!? Why you little!!!"

"Hey chill out!!" Shine said, still laughing. "Jeez! Where's your sense of humor?"

Chaud growled angrily, but a smirk was tugging at his mouth no matter what he tried.

"A-ha!! Got ya to smile!!" Shine said, pointing at his face. "I knew you could do it!!"

The way Shine said it just made Chaud want to laugh, but he desperately tried to get a hold of himself, which wasn't easy. Especially since Shine was only making it worse.

Finally, Chaud simply burst out laughing, and Shine followed quickly, unable to stop. No one noticed though, they were too far away for that. For that, Chaud was glad.

Once they could finally stop laughing, Chaud turned to Shine, a small smirk still on his face.

"You're not the same as your Navi, are you?"

"I know. Me and Muramasa, we're not quite alike."

Alright, that's that. This fic is loosely based on Ken of Melee's fic, so the idea isn't exactly mine. Don't sue, I asked permission first, I swear!
