Summary
The episode begins with Lan, as Cross Fusion MegaMan fighting Takeo Inukai and Asteroid BeastMan in Neo WWW's latest scheme. Outside the Dimensional Area, Maylu, Rush and Dex (who is making a delivery) are cheering for him. Lan make short work of the Asteroid Navi, forcing Inukai to retreat. After the Dimensional Area disappear and Lan reverts back to his normal form, his friends come over to congratulate him over his latest success. Seeing how tired he is, Dex treats his friend for lunch much to Lan's excitement. At Number 1 Curry, Lan reveals that he had been busy lately as he is the only Net Saver around who can performed Cross Fusion to combat the Asteroid Navis. Chaud on the other hand is still at Netopia and has yet to make any plans to return. After Lan left, Dex and Maylu discuss on how should they make Lan's job a little easier and Dex came up with a brilliant idea.

At SciLab, Dex request Dr. Hikari to allow him and GutsMan to perform Cross Fusion. Dr. Hikari was hesitant to help him due several reasons but with Dex keep pestering him, he had no choice but to comply. Instead of teaching him how to perform Cross Fusion however, Dr. Hikari take Dex and Maylu a tour around the lab and bid them farewell after a trip to the gift shop. Dex was too engrossed with the trip that he fail realizes that he was tricked until Maylu remind him about their initial reason for their visit. Dex enter the lab again and demand to see Dr. Hikari but the people in charge at the main lobby states that Dr. Hikari is in a meeting and couldn't meet him. Just then, Mr. Famous enter the lobby and ask what is all the commotion about. Upon listening to Dex's plan, Mr. Famous took interest in it and ask the children to follow him to his lab.

Mr.Famous first explain that until now, the only way that Navis could materialize into the Real World is with the use of a Synchro Chip or a Dimensional Chip. However, a Navi in the past had find a different way to do so. Maylu immediately remembers about the time ShadeMan turned Rush into a Synchro Chip and uses it to enter the Real World and caused havoc. Mr. Famous believes that if the same process can be done again, Cross Fusion might be possible. After bringing Rush to his lab, Mr. Famous scan him and detect that the data that turned him into a chip was still within him. Rush is given a Synchro Chip Case which will allowed him to transform into a chip and can be slot in as usual. When Rush realize that he will be performing Cross Fusion with Dex and GutsMan, he immediately against the idea as he wanted to perform with Maylu and Roll instead. Maylu was surprised as even though she used to dream of performing Cross Fusion, she is now fighting Asteroid Navis which are much more powerful than anything she fought before. Frighten by Dex, Rush immediately escape into the CyberWorld and Maylu ask Roll to find him. Just then, Mr. Famous received a report about viruses appearing at the newly open Dinosaur Land and Lan had already be sent to investigate. Upon hearing this, Maylu and Dex immediately leave the lab and head to the theme park.

At Dinosaur Land, Lan was informed by the person in charge about the case and denies seeing any viruses but is still willing to allow Lan to investigate. Maylu and Dex arrived and drag Lan into the park under the guise of investigating. At first Lan was furious that the two of them are taking things lightly but after a while, even he start to enjoy the attractions the park provides. Unknown to them, Narcy Hide was also at the park, carrying out Neo WWW's latest scheme. In the CyberWorld, GutsMan continue to chase Rush but fails miserably. Eventually, Roll scold him to stop running and go to where Maylu and the others are.

Back in the real world, Lan and his friends enter an area that was supposingly closed for construction. Inside, the trio were shocked to find a giant Walla and other giant viruses that are in the real world. Narcy reveals himself to the children and explain his newest plan to them. Using Asteroid VideoMan's ability to magnify and replicate objects, he planned to create an army of viruses to attack the city. Once Narcy summons VideoMan to attack them, Lan request Mr. Famous to activate at Dimensional Area. In his Cross Fusion form, Lan is about to fight VideoMan but find himself outnumbered as VideoMan summons the viruses he created to help him. This combine, combine with his already exhausted state, putting Lan at the mercy of the villains. Just then, Roll informs Maylu that she had brought Rush with her. After being forced by Dex, Rush complies and transform into a Synchro Chip. Dex begin slotting the chip into his PET and a bright light envelops him. This shocked everyone around him but instead of Cross Fusion, an explosion suddenly occur, cancelling the process and injuring Dex. Mr. Famous just remembered that he had not check Dex and GutsMan's Synchro Rate and the reason of their failure is probably that it is too low.

VideoMan continue to his attack on Lan. Due to the sheer number of viruses, Lan is unable to any counter attacks. As Maylu wonder how can she help her childhood friend, Mr. Famous contact her. Remembering that Maylu and Roll had high Synchro Rate after being tested by Dr. Hikari in the past, Mr. Famous tells Maylu to perform Cross Fusion instead. Maylu was still nervous in doing so but seeing the boy she is in love with in trouble, Maylu eventually gets over it and tells Rush to transform into a Synchro Chip again. Unlike her last encounter with the Darkloid SwordMan, Cross Fusion is a success this time and Maylu finally is able to transform into C.F. Roll. In her new form, Maylu is able to injure VideoMan and open a Rush Hole to send the viruses back into the CyberWorld. After several consecutive hits, Lan and Maylu is able to defeat VideoMan, foiling Narcy's plan.

Once the two of them return to their normal form, Lan compliments Maylu how strong she is in her Cross Fusion form. After Mr. Famous contacts them again and inform how high Maylu and Roll's Synchro Rate is, Lan tells Maylu good luck in helping him to fight the Asteroid Navis. Upon hearing this, Rush immediately runs away as he refuse to perform Cross Fusion again. Roll explains that any injuries Maylu received in their Cross Fusion form, Rush will also received it. Lan express his disappointment as he believed he had found a replacement for Chaud. Realizing that she was being treated as "Chaud's replacement" Maylu leaves Lan angrily but secretly in her mind, she promise him that when the times come, she will perform Cross Fusion again to help him. At Number 1 Curry, Dex wonders how to increase his Synchro Rate so he could perform Cross Fusion too. Just then, Lan received another case and head off to investigate. Maylu tells Rush that they should follow him too but he had already escaped into the CyberWorld.

Trivia

 * Maylu is finally able to perform Cross Fusion after failing to do so in the 42nd episode of Axess.
 * When Maylu failed to perform Cross Fusion last season, her PET give out an error but when Dex tries it, his PET explodes. This difference is probably because of the difference of their Synchro Rate and Maylu's PET is unable to read Lan's Synchro Chip back then was probably because that Lan's Synchro Chip was already for him.
