The next morning, Kay took a walk around Den Tech City. It was a
normal quiet; boring Saturday morning, all Kay could think about was Forte.
Her Net Navi, Duet, tried and tried again to get Kay's mind of him.
'Was that even real? Or... was it just a dream?' she thought to herself, not paying attention to anything else.
"Kay," Duet called, from Kay's PET.
'What did he even want? And why from me?'
"Kay!"
"And why'd he leave so fast? What was the point of telling why he was here, if it was the truth, and then, just leave like that?'
"KAY!"
Then, Kay just snapped back to the real world, like in a trance.
"Hmm? What happened?"
"You just dozed off there. You alright?" Duet answered.
"Yeah. Let's go home," Kay said.
They headed home and Kay just slumped down on the couch. She stared at the picture in front of her. It was her family portrait. She started to cry again.
"Don't cry now."
Kay spun around; she knew that wasn't Duet's voice. Instead, behind her stood no one other than Forte.
"For-Forte? But? You? How?" Kay questioned, very much confused.
"It's an android model," he answered simply.
Suddenly, Duet interrupted, "Okay! Just what is it that you want?!"
"Just to protect little Kay," he replied.
"Why her?" Duet asked.
"Duet, you know how Kay's parents knew Dr. Cossack and Dr. Hikari?" he asked back. "They programmed me incase this ever happened."
"How-how do you know my name? I didn't tell you and neither did Kay. And how do you know her parents knew Dr. Cossack and Dr. Hikari?" Duet questioned in surprise.
Then, Forte just disappeared.
"Where'd he go?" Kay asked.
"See? I told you he couldn't be trusted," Duet replied.
Kay didn't pay attention to her Navi. She just grabbed her PET and ran into the city. She kept going until she was outside the SciLabs.
"Why are we here?" Duet asked.
"Jack in!" Kay exclaimed. "Okay, Duet. Go in and see if Forte's here."
"But," Duet said hesitantly, "How am I going to get in?"
"Just go. They'll let you in. They know you're my Navi," Kay said.
Duet sighed and did what Kay told her. She reached a security cube with two Navis standing guard. They scanned her and she was in within a matter of seconds. Outside, Kay watched everything from her PET. When Duet entered the SciLab computer, she saw two Navis battling. She could make out slight figures.
"Duet, what's up?" Kay asked.
"A Net Battle, but with who?" Duet answered.
Duet got closer and Kay finally began to make out the figures.
"Duet! It's Rockman and Forte!" Kay exclaimed.
"What?!" Duet cried.
Kay looked down sadly. 'He said protect me. That doesn't mean going and doing harm to other people.' She looked back up, her eyes loaded with tears.
"Forte! Stop right now!" she cried, tears falling like crazy.
Forte stopped in mid air, looking in Kay's direction. But then, an energy blast tore through Forte's cloak and through his stomach to his back. Then, he disappeared.
"Forte!" Kay cried. "Jack out, Duet!"
Kay ran home as quickly as her legs could carry her. She burst through the door and up to her computer. She jacked Duet in.
"Duet, please. I know you're suspicious about him, but please. You saw what he did. He stopped for me. Please," she cried.
Duet nodded and she started to heal Forte. Afterwards, they waited. Time flashed by. They waited for five minutes, then ten, and next to fifteen. Kay totally gave up and went to her bed and started to cry again, falling asleep after.
'Was that even real? Or... was it just a dream?' she thought to herself, not paying attention to anything else.
