Reborn Days
Chapter 6
The Past and the Present
Sky, resting on her bed, lived alone in the apartment. She couldn't stop thinking about her past and what had happened. My life has changed ever since I met them. She thought. It was true. As a young girl, she never had any friends. She was lonely. But if you add some detail, it will make sense. She was lonely because she was home schooled. She never showed emotion to anyone. Ever since she was a child, she loved being with her parents. She loved them like nothing in the world mattered to her except them. But all that changed.
She was out in the park with her parents until they saw a shady figure following them. Her father turned around and he asked "Why are you following us? Who are you?" Before he could ask another question, the shady figure shot him. He fell to the ground with a pale, shocked face. Her mother was shocked that she ran with Sky in her arms. Running until she found a tree with a hole big enough to fit little Sky. She left Sky inside and was about to run until another gunshot was fired. Her mother fell and died like the father. Then Sky was able to take a good look at the shady figure. It was someone familiar to her.
She woke up from that nightmare. "Its all over." She said with a glum face.
It was another Saturday, a month after Hanako's birthday bash. She and Phantom have become good friends. "Talk about friends" I said "It's only a month and they're good friends."
It was summer break. It was fun so most students left for somewhere.
Across the field, Sky sat and looked up into the deep blue sky. Mother…Father…she thought When will I see you again?
Sonia left on a trip last week and will come back in about three weeks or less.
Robzy left too but to visit his parents. That was his promise to his parents before he decided to come here.
Hanako, Kumiko, Sky and I stayed in school because of specific reasons. I moved here so I didn't have anywhere else to move in yet. Hanako wanted to stay with Kumiko, who decided to stay because she was happy here. Sky, on the other hand, had her reasons to stay here but never told us. I decided to do something but I didn't know what to do yet.
I went to my room. It was unusually quiet in the room since I was so used to Sonia talking so much.
I fell on my bed and relaxed. Then a green Biometal flew out of the box followed by an orange one and a blue one. They circled me and the green one asked "The girl you call Sky…I think she's my operator." I nodded and went to my table and transferred it into a chip that looks almost like the one I gave Hanako.
Next morning, Sky went back to her usual spot, the fields. I spotted her and walked up to her. She just blushed but kept looking up in the sky. I sat beside her and told her "We are your friends, you know. You can consult us if you feel down." Then she looked at me and smiled. "Here" I said "It's yours. Install it into the PDA."
Then she slotted the chip in and the PDA auto programmed itself. Then a 3D image of a green figure appeared. "So my operator is a girl." It said "I am at your disposal." She laughed "I'm Sky and you are?" The green figure bowed "My apologies. I am Harpuia, Guardian of Wind."
Then suddenly, the fire alarm rang. I stood up and said "I better go and help." Then she stood up "I'll come along with Harpuia by my side."
We ran toward the fire alarm. "Let's go!" DB said with an eager voice
"Jack-in! Double Beast, Power up!"
"I'm ready!" Harpuia said
"Jack-in! Harpuia, Power up!"
There were fire viruses swarming all over the area. I remained calm and said "Time to water them!" D.B is actually an elemental Navi so he can use all types of chips. "Here you go, DB!"
"Custom chip Aqua Cannon, slot-in!"
Sky looked at me questioningly "I create new battle chips with a program in my room." I told her "Aqua Cannon is a combination of an aqua type chip and a Cannon."
DB's right arm formed into the blue cannon similar to the Hi Cannon of Rockman Exe. "Aqua Cannon!" he shouted firing multiple shots from the Aqua Cannon. "Now it's my turn!" Sky said "Battle chip Variable Sword, slot-in!" Harpuia's arm turned into a Sword. He smiled and said "Sonic Boom!" slashing several enemies from a far.
After killing a few more viruses, a match box-like Navi appeared. "Well if it isn't DB!" DB turned towards that direction and said "Heatman?! I thought I deleted you before?" Heatman laughed "Back-up data."
In the human world, I shouted "Match?! Destroying the school! That's pretty lame!" Another screen popped up and a older man with red hair smiled and said "I'm aiming for you not the school."
Back in the Fire Alarm System, Harpuia stepped up and said "I'll fight you with whatever I have!" Heatman laughed "New Navis get deleted easily, you know!"
Without a warning, a shuriken and a fire blast came out of no where hitting Heatman directly at the back. "Bull's-eye!" TryMega said.
Heatman, pretty damaged badly, jacked out saying "I'll get you next time!"
Later, Hanako came and said "I've been looking for you two!" I looked at her saying "It's time, isn't it?" Hanako nodded and looked at Sky. Sky became frightened and said "I'm not a criminal."
I looked at her saying "He was the one who killed your parents, right?" Shocked by the information, she started to cry, falling on me. "I checked your profile." I said "No means to snoop on your privacy. I really feel bad for you when I found out you kept getting new families." She looked up with her teary eyes. "You have a new family." I told her "One that won't abandon you." She looked at me questioningly once again but with her teary eyes. "Us. We are your new family." I told her she smiled and cried a bit more. Remembering what had happened when she was young. I looked at her and told her "Forget about the past. Look forward to a better future."
Because of that, Sky's whole life changed. When summer break was over, she had turned a lot of people's faces around including the teachers. She had been getting a lot of A's and B's rather than her C's and D's. Her performance just suddenly flipped over as if something new had happened. It turns out consultation was the medicine she needed.
