Kay woke up in a strange place. It was empty and white, very white. It was
nothing. Just empty space.
"Hello?" Kay called out, her voice echoing all around her.
She looked down, wondering what or how she was sitting. She carefully got up, unsure of whatever was underneath her, and began to walk around. She kept walking for what seemed like hours. Then, she spotted someone. They had their back turned to her, but she recognized the brown cloak and black helmet.
"Forte?" she called, as he turned to her. "Forte!"
She ran over to him, but as she got closer, he went farther. Next, he started to fade away. Kay kept running and soon he faded away completely.
"Forte!" she screamed, as she rolled out of her bed.
She sat up in the tangle of blankets, struggling and yelling, "Forte! No! Don't go! I don't want to be alone again!"
Then, someone picked her up from the mess of blankets and a voice said, "You won't be."
Kay ceased struggling and looked up. Her tired and terrified face quickly changed to happy and relieved.
"Forte!" she cried, wrapping her arms around his neck.
After a few moments, Kay loosened up and looked at Forte. She had tears in her eyes, but happy ones. It didn't look like it, but Kay could see a small smile on his face. He set her down and a moment of silence followed.
"Forte, how did you survive? Me and Duet thought you were done for," Kay said, breaking the silence.
"I've been damaged far worse than that," he replied. "I'm sorry if I scared you."
The tone in his voice made Kay feel weird. It seemed to her he was hiding something, the cloak added to her suspicions. Forte noticed her odd silence and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Kay awoke from another one of her traces and shook her head. She lay back down and soon drifted off to sleep. Forte watched her for a short period of time. 'You will find out soon enough Kay,' he thought. 'You will.'
The next morning, Forte woke up to find Kay gone. His eyes widened and he searched the entire house. After checking the house seven times he went into the living room. He sat down on the couch and slammed his hand onto the table. The whole house shook.
"I've failed. I've lost her," he said aloud to no one.
Then, a small piece of paper drifted down onto the table. He looked up and picked up the note. He read:
Forte,
Sorry I'm not home. I'm at school. Sorry if I startled you. I forgot to tell you last night.
Kay
Time passed by rapidly and Kay was leaving the school when Netto approached her.
"Hi Netto. What's up?" she asked.
"Yesterday, at the SciLab computer system, I seen you and your Navi," he said.
"Y-yeah. So?" Kay replied.
"Do you know that Forte guy?" he asked.
"Um... maybe. Why?" Kay answered.
"Because he's dangerous!" Netto exclaimed.
"What? No he isn't! How do you know anyway?" Kay stammered.
"Listen Kay, if I were you, I would get away from him," he just answered.
"Well, you're not. I'll do as I please, thank you!" she yelled, she turned and stormed out of the school.
'How does Netto know how Forte's like?' she thought angrily, but then, she changed her mind, 'Maybe he's right though. Forte is a bit strange. I'll find out sooner or later.'
Kay entered the house and found Forte just standing there with his eyes closed. She quietly snuck passed him, but then he said, "Don't say hello hmm?"
Kay stood there, frozen in place. She then said, "Uh... I didn't want to disturb you. And I have homework and other stuff to do."
"Alright," he said, then, went back to silence.
She started upstairs, but hesitated half way up. 'Did I make him mad?' she thought. She stood there for a while and then continued up the stairs. Forte heard the door close and next a violin play. He sighed and resumed silence.
The next week passed like this only Kay said hi on the way in then. At the end of the week, the new Internet City open up and Kay and Duet were anxious to visit it.
"Ready Duet?" Kay asked. Duet nodded and Kay logged her in. Then, Kay heard Forte clear his throat. Kay looked back at him. "Are you going to?"
He shook his head no and disappeared. Duet watched also and asked, "What's up with him?"
"I think I made him mad last week when I said I was busy," Kay replied, as Duet started to browse around.
"Well, anyway, let's explore. Hey! Look, Rockman and Roll," Duet said. "Hey! Rockman!"
Rockman looked in Duet's direction. He and Roll waved. Duet made it over there and Rockman said, "Hey guys."
"Hi," Duet said.
"How long you've been here?" Roll asked.
"We just got here," Duet answered.
"Hi, Rockman. Hi, Roll," Kay said.
"Hey, well, excuse us, but I have to finish Rockman's tour," Roll said.
"Alright. Bye," called Duet, while they left.
Duet continued looking around and then, she thought she saw Forte. Then, she saw him again. She knew she wasn't hallucinating now. She started after him. Down the street, turned left to an alley, and kept following the network of allies. She wall jumped up to the rooftop she saw him on. Kay now looked at her PET and saw Duet and Forte.
"Forte?!" she exclaimed.
He turned and looked at them for a brief period and then, just disappeared. Kay and Duet, stayed there, confused and surprised.
