She ran down the street as fast as her small legs could carry her. She
approached her buttercup yellow house. She noticed that the door was torn
of its hinges. She ran through the busted door and bolted up stairs.
"Man, I know I shouldn't have left those two alone!" she exclaimed.
She rushed to her room, which was partially wreaked, and found her PET on the ground. She picked it up and wiped the chunks of dirt of it.
"Duet? You okay?" Kay asked, looking at the blank screen.
Duet appeared, rubbing her head and was walking, stumbling like every two steps. She looked up at Kay and replied, "Yeah, I'm still here. Ow..."
"Are you okay? And what happened?" Kay asked.
"I'm fine. Well, like five minutes after you left, he went berserk or something," she explained. "I tried asking what was wrong, but it was like he couldn't hear me. It was strange if you ask me."
"Could you find him by any chance?"
"Maybe. He was letting off some sort of power surge and that was outside the Net."
"Okay. Let's do that."
Duet nodded.
"Ready? Jack in!"
Duet was immediately transported to the Net. Unlike the last time, they were familiar to their surroundings.
"Well? Feel anything?" Kay asked.
"Not yet. We might have to go exploring," Duet answered.
"Right. But if we get lost, we're asking for directions," Kay said.
Duet nodded again and continued along the path. She kept going straight until she finally turned. Kay still recognized the area, since her dad had shown her.
"Hey, why are we going to the SciLab computer system?" Kay questioned.
"Because, I'm sensing a strong energy surge past this portal," Duet answered, pointing at the blue portal ahead. "But it seems like there are two Navis there, and super powered ones two."
Duet continued ahead and didn't hesitate entering the sapphire colored portal. She was teleported to the SciLab computers, were she witness a battle in progress. She saw a golden yellow fin headed one with a brown cloak and a bluish green one, she couldn't tell. She dared to get closer, for this looked awfully dangerous.
"Are you sure you should be walking straight into this? It looks dangerous," Kay whined.
"I'll be fine, just throw me a couple SteelBody chips and I won't be harmed," Duet answered calmly.
"But, don't ya think they'll detect you if you use those?" Kay asked.
"Oh... good point," Duet said and then mumbled under her breath, "I hate when you do that..."
"Hmm?" Kay questioned.
"Nothing," Duet replied.
They stopped talking and watched the two Navis. Now they were closer, Kay was able to recognize the two. One was surly Forte and the other was her classmate Netto's Navi, Rockman. They had walked in during a conversation and Rockman was tired on the ground. Forte was yelling at him, "Look! Look at this! This scar remains proof humans betrayed me!"
He flung up his tattered cloaked which revealed a large scar, splitting his symbol on his chest in half. Rockman sat there, staring surprised and horrified at the same time. So did Kay and Duet. Kay quickly shook it off. She hated fighting and to figure, he was supposed to protect her.
"Shut up! Netto-kun would never abandon me!" Rockman yelled.
"Fool... Humans just use us for their doings. They don't care about us!"
"No! You're wrong! As long as I have Netto, you can't defeat me!" Rockman exclaimed.
Forte didn't reply and just dove at Rockman with an energy blast at ready. Rockman on the other hand, focused all his energy on his buster and a shot on last powerful blast. If soared at Forte and pierced right through his scar.
"Forte!" Kay cried suddenly, with huge tears streaming from her large, round eyes.
Before he disappeared, he looked at her. Duet rushed back to her home computer and found Forte there, damaged greatly. Duet glanced at a watery- eyed Kay. She knew by just that glance what she had to do. Through she didn't trust him; she started to heal Forte, for Kay and only Kay. After healing, nothing happened. No noise, no movement, no anything. They waited and waited and waited. A while passed and Kay was tired, especially after crying that hard. She gloomily headed to bed and Duet was tuned off, unable to comfort her.
The next morning, she turned in bed, but couldn't move. She tried again and still couldn't move. She opened her eyes and seen something tattered and brown with a bit of black. She slowly looked up and her eyes widened. She screamed and she was quickly put down. Kay took a couple of deep breaths and said, "Oh, it's you. But how, you were on the brink of deletion?"
"Did I scare you? My apologies," he answered.
"Yes, you scared me!" Kay exclaimed. "And what did you mean back there?"
"What?" he asked.
Kay glared at him. He just stood there, and amazingly, kept a straight face to Kay's.
"We'll talk later," he said.
"But..." she started.
"Not now," he said, walking out of the room and going downstairs.
"He's hiding something," Duet said suddenly, making Kay jump a foot in the air.
"No. Really?" Kay answered sarcastically.
"Well, anyway, you should get to bed," Duet reminded her. "You have school remember."
Kay nodded and lay back down. Duet shut herself off. Kay lay there, thinking about Forte's strange behaviors. She shrugged it off, for now, and drifted off to sleep. The next morning, she was out of the door before Forte had wakened up. When, he woke up, he had a panic attack. Frustrated, he sat down on the couch and slammed his fist down on the table in front of him. Next to the railing on the second story, a small slip of paper floated down from a table. It landed next to his hand. He picked it up and read:
Went to school. Sorry to not have warning you before hand.
