Difference Between Netnavis and Reploids [EXE/Zero x over]

[Hikari no Namida]

//Prolouge//

'How do I always get myself into these messes?' Was the first thing that crossed Netto's mind while he was running towards the back of the small plane. Netto remembered why he was on the plane that was on a crash course towards Brightland.

//Flashback//

"A new mission, Meijin-san?" Netto asked, sitting on a chair at his desk.

"Yes. Apparently, there was a hint sent that some darkoids were going to attack the palace. It may be just a hoax, but we want you there just in case. Enzan is already there and he'll be waiting for you there. Your plane will be leaving later tonight around seven. Hopefully, it'll give you enough time to prepare." Netto nodded.

"Hai, it will. Thank you Meijin-san."

"No need for formalities."

//End Flashback//

Later that night, Netto had boarded the plane and the ride had been going smoothly. Well, at least until the plane had hit some turbulence. At first, Netto hadn't thought much about it, but when it continued for almost the minutes, Netto had become worried and headed up to the cockpit. There he had found out that there was something wrong in the piloting program. Netto had plugged Rockman in and corrected that error quickly enough.

However, another error had occurred and this time, it was in the wheels. However, there wasn't enough time for Rockman to travel over to that program before the plane was going to land. So instead, the captain told Netto to head to the back of the plane where there was a manual control for the wheels. Why the manual control was back there, Netto would never know, but he took off towards the back anyway.

'And that's why…' Netto thought to himself as he was running. 'I'm in this mess.' Netto was now towards the back of the passenger section of the plane, where he had been sitting earlier. All of a sudden, a pipe running along the inside of the plane burst.

"Holy!" Netto cried as flames emerged from the pipe and seemed to start growing. 'I have to get to the back or else we'll end up belly flopping!' Netto exclaimed in his mind. All ideas of avoiding the flames and getting to the back however, were cut off when the flames rised in front of Netto. Netto's eyes widened as he realized what had just happened. Now, there was no way to activate the manual controls for the wheels unless Netto went through the fire. And that was something Netto would rather not do, unless of course he was wet down with water…

'That's it!' Netto thought and turned back to the cockpit. Perhaps one or both of the pilots had some sort of water bottle that he could wet himself down with. As he turned though, that plan went through the window as well because Netto found himself surrounded by the flames.

"Oh, shoot! This is NOT my day!" Netto muttered to himself as he felt the heat starting to get to him. The seconds seemed to drag by as Netto was filled with heat and pain. Netto could feel the flames scorching him; destroying him. The next few minutes were the longest minutes that Netto had ever felt in his life. He fell to his knees and as darkness was about to completely take over and Netto was about to give up all hope, a strange liquid was splashed all over him, putting out the flames and cooling him down.

'Water…?' Netto's mind barely registered.

"Hikari Netto…" A soft female voice said from besides him. Netto turned his head and saw a young woman with a pink and white headband with long blonde hair in a ponytail. She was wearing a pink vest with a dark blue long-sleeved shirt underneath it. She was also wearing a pink skirt with blue nylons.

"W-who…?" Netto barely managed to get out.

"Shh…" She shushed him. "Right now, it doesn't matter. We don't have much time. I want to help you, Netto. Please allow me to." She said gently. Netto didn't even have to think about that one. He nodded his agreement.

"Ok…but, who…are you…?" The woman chuckled humorlessly.

"You certainly are stubborn aren't you? Very well, my name is Ciel. And I think you'll be glad to hear that I've already activated the plane's manual control for the wheels. You'll land safely. Just relax." Netto finally closed his eyes and let himself succumb to the darkness, a strange feeling of peace filling his heart.

//Chapter 1//

Netto never realized that he had woken up until he felt that he was laying on something hard and cold.Perhaps it was some kind of metal.The next thing he realized was that his head hurt. Really badly. Netto shifted, trying to find a more comfortable position but couldn't move.

"Nng...what's going on...?" Netto opened his eyes and asked.

"Calm down, Netto. You're safe." Netto turned his head to see Ciel smiling at him. "Good morning, Netto." Ciel greeted. Netto blinked in surprise.

"What time is it?" Netto asked.

"It's about 11 AM. You've been out for two days." A man with a strange black visor around his head said. The man also had a lab coat on as well.

"Netto, this is Cerveau. He's an engineer." Cerveau smiled.

"It's nice to meet you Netto." Netto nodded as best as he could.

"Yea, you too. Um... can we take these things off?" Netto pulled against the restraints that were around his arms and legs. Ciel and Cerveau exchanged glances so quickly that Netto didn't even notice.

"Of course." Cerveau undid the metal straps and Netto was finally able to sit up. He looked around and saw a huge computer to his left. The entire room was made of metal, even the lab table that Netto was sitting on.

"Ciel, Cerveau-san...where am I?" Once again, Ciel and Cerveau exchanged glances.

"Netto...there's something we need to talk to you about something..." Cerveau trailed off, uncertain of how to continue.

"Have you ever heard of reploids, Netto?" Ciel asked to try to start off. Netto shook his head. "Reploids are an advanced form of robots who can feel emotions and make their own decisions. But since you've never heard of reploids, I doubt you've heard of Neo Arcadia or Mavericks, right?" Netto nodded

"About 100 years ago, there were two famous reploids known as X and Zero. It was at that time that seeing reploids alongside humans was quite common. However a virus, called the Zero virus, started infecting reploids and made them believe that they were superior to humans. The reploids that were infected were known as mavericks. In short, this created the Maverick Wars. Because the virus originally came from Zero, he went into hybernation to try to get rid of the virus. While, it cut down the amount of infections, it did not stop the virus altogether. During that time, X was turned into a cyber elf. A cyber elf is a cybernetic creature that has a special ability. Once that ability is used, the elf dies.

Then, about ten years ago, I tried to recreate X. However, Copy X, as we call him, was different than X. Copy X created Neo Arcadia, which is supposively a perfect utopia for humans. However, there was a great fear of the Maverick wars happening again. Therefore, Copy X started having his own guardians destroy, or as well call it, retire reploids who were suspected of being mavericks. His guardians would even retire reploids who were completely innocent, and they couldn't care less."

“What?! But that’s just wrong!” Netto exclaimed. Ciel nodded her agreement.

“Yes, I know. However, I gathered quite a few of these suspected mavericks, who honestly weren’t mavericks after some testing, and formed a resistance against Copy X and Neo Arcadia. The resistance was loosing the war against Neo Arcadia when we decided to try to find Zero himself. I was part of the team who searched for Zero. It took a while, but we found and awakened Zero. However, since we had to force Zero awake, he has hibernation sickness, otherwise known as temporary amnesia. However, Zero has been helping us in our fight against Neo Arcadia.” Ciel explained. Netto blinked, trying to take it all in.

“That’s cool, but…what does this have to do with me?” Netto asked.

“Well, for one you live in Neo Arcadia…” Ciel and Cerveau exchanged glances and this time, Netto actually saw it.

“There’s something else, isn’t there?” Netto questioned. Ciel sighed and nodded.

“Yes. Netto, when I found you on that plane, you were on the brink of death and your body was beyond repair. What I mean to say Netto is that the only way I could save you was to transfer your mind into a different body. Netto…you are a reploid.” Ciel said the last sentence softly, but it seemed loud, almost too loud for Netto. His jaw dropped and he was sure that he looked almost like a fish.

“I…I’m a…” Netto stuttered and then broke off.

“A reploid, yes.” Cerveau finally rejoined the conversation. “Why don’t you see for yourself?” He pointed to a full sized mirror over by the wall. Netto numbly walked over to the mirror and stared at himself. Then, he did the only thing he could think of. He screamed bloody murder.

Thank you mabi-chan! I'm really glad that you like this!

//Chapter 2//

Netto had light blue armor with what looked like a pale green bodysuit underneath. His helmet, which was also blue, seemed to have a single white feather on both sides of his helmet, right next to his ears. His boots were exactly the same as his helmet, except the boots almost went up to Netto’s knees and there were two feathers on each side of the boots. And his hair…

“God, my hair looks way too much like Blues’…” Netto remarked after he stopped screaming. And indeed his hair did look like Blues’. His hair was incredibly long and was silver-white. Netto looked to Ciel and Cerveau for an explanation. Cerveau shrugged and Ciel looked a bit embarrassed.

“I thought it looked nice.” She said simply. Netto turned back towards his reflection and sighed.

“So basically, you did to me what Papa did to niisan…” At Ciel and Cerveau’s confused looks, Netto explained.

“My older twin, Saito was born with HBD and died as a baby. So my Papa transferred his mind into data and transferred the data to create my netnavi, Rockman. Hey, speaking of Rockman, where is he?” Ciel smiled.

“Don’t worry, he’s in my lab. He’s very worried about you. Also, we have other things we need to tell you.” Netto turned towards the two scientists curiously.

“Netto…I really hope you can forgive me for what I’ve done to you…It’s just…we need more help here and when I saw you in that condition…” Ciel trailed off for a moment. “But…I have a program that I’ve already installed in you that will allow you to live with your family and friends without them ever realizing what you are.” Netto’s eyes widened, so Ciel took this as a meaning she should continue. “I call it the ‘Civilian Program’. Concentrate on your appearance and take into account that you have just “survived” a major fire. Then search through your programs and activate the Civilian program.” Ciel explained. Netto nodded and did as he was told. Soon, Netto was covered by a white light. The light lasted for about 15 seconds, then faded.

Netto looked almost exactly like he had before the fire. He was wearing his normal orange vest, white long sleeved shirt, black shorts and blue headband with the Hikari symbol on it. What was different was that the headband, vest and long-sleeved shirt seemed semi-scorched. Netto was also wearing what looked like white bandages which were wrapped around both of his forearms. Ciel gave Netto a curious look.

“Well, you said to make it look like I just came from a fire…” Apparently, even reploids could blush, because Netto was certainly doing a lot of it. Both Ciel and Cerveau laughed.

“It looks perfect Netto. When you’re like this, you can eat food like any other human. By eating, you’ll also help recharge yourself.” Netto nodded his understanding.

“Now, try to reverse the effects and return to your armored form. All you have to do is reverse the program. Try it out.” Cerveau suggested. Netto did as he was told and this time, the light only laster for about ten seconds. Either switching back to armor was easier, or Netto was getting used to the program. Perhaps it was a mix of both that allowed him to be quicker this time. But either way, soon Netto was back in his armor.

“You’re getting the hang of this! Now, Ciel and I believe that you should not allow anyone to know what you are. So therefore, we believe you should have a different name when you are in armored form.” Cerveau said.

“I guess…I’ll be Yurei.” Netto decided. Cerveau raised an eyebrow, not that Netto could see it. Ciel simply nodded, but didn’t question Netto’s decision.

“Well, then Yurei, I have a favor to ask of you. I don’t expect an answer right away, but please think about it. Yurei, will you please help the resistance? Zero has been doing the best he can, but we still need more help. But please, don’t believe that you have to do this. We will not think any less of you should you decide not to. If you decide not to, none of us at the resistance will ever bother you again. Please, just think about it for a while. In the meantime, if you’ll activate the Civilian Program again, I’ll show you where Rockman is.” Ciel told Netto. Netto searched through his programs and activated the Civilian Program again. He could literally feel his armor vanishing, but ready to be called back at any time.

This time, the change only took a few seconds. Ciel smiled and nodded her approval.

“Excellent, Netto. Now follow me.” Netto smiled back and followed Ciel.

“See ya Cerveau-san!” Netto exclaimed. Cerveau chuckled.

“Please, just Cerveau, Netto.” Netto’s smile grew and he nodded.

“Ok, then! Bye!” Cerveau waved and Netto left the maintenance room. Ciel and Netto walked in silence towards Ciel’s lab. Along the way, there were a lot of people (whom Netto learned were actually reploids later) who greeted Ciel warmly. Netto figured it was because Ciel was the leader of the resistance, so of course people would be friendly towards her. Also, Ciel was naturally a good natured person. Or at least, that’s what Netto had noticed. Soon, the two were in front of a door with a plaque that said ‘Ciel’.

“Here we are. This is my lab.” Ciel was about to enter when Netto stopped her.

“Wait! Ciel…um…” Ciel paused and turned towards him curiously.

“What is it, Netto?” She asked.

“I made my decision. I’ll help you guys out.” Netto said. Ciel smiled broadly.

“Thank you Netto-kun.” This time, Netto looked at her confused. “Well, if we’re going to be working together, we may as well be informal. That is, if you don’t mind.” Ciel offered. Netto shook his head.

“I don’t mind! In fact, I like informal better.” Ciel nodded her understanding.

“I can’t thank you enough Netto-kun. With you on our side, we just might be able to end this war and be at peace.” Ciel sighed blissfully at that thought. “Anyways,” she continued, “just walk through. Your navi is in there.” Netto walked through the door and was instantly greeted by the cheerful yell,

“NETTO-KUN!!!!!”
