Megaman Battle Network – Rebirth

Chapter 15 – Alls well that ends well

Sarah collapsed onto her knees.

"We won Hub, we won," she said.

"I know Sarah," said Megaman. Looking at her arm he noticed something, "The limiters gone."

"I think I can control it for now. I'll have to get another one soon though."

"Ok."

Sarah and Megaman Jacked Out. Sarah was tired and had to be supported by Lan. Mayl came down to the server room to see if everyone was ok.

"Sarah! Are you ok?" she said seeing how Sarah was being supported.

"I'm fine Mayl, how's Roll," said Sarah.

"I'm fine now," said Roll, "I've made a deal with Empress that she couldn't resist."

"I'm guessing one of the terms was Empress' continued existence," said Sarah. She sat down on the seat again. After a few moments she got up on her own.

"Let's go home," she said.

Everyone started to go out the door. Sarah waited by the seat for a moment. Chaud was the last to leave apart from Sarah.

"Chaud wait," said Sarah.

"What is it?" said Chaud, "I don't have all day you know."

"Thank you," said Sarah.

"I didn't do anything," said Chaud, "It was Protoman."

Sarah walked over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"But you didn't log him out," she said as she left.

"Are you two in on this together," said Chaud to Protoman.

"On what Chaud?" said Protoman.

"Nothing," said Chaud leaving the room so the technicians could get in and fix the problems.

Back home Lan and Sarah sat down talking.

"So you have a new limiter now then Sarah?" said Lan.

"Yup, Dad had saved the program so all he did was email it to me," replied Sarah.

"So what will you do if the limiter breaks again?" said Lan.

"Get a new one," replied Sarah, "But I now know something."

"What's that?"

"Whenever I need help to control my powers, I can always turn to my friends."

Lan just nodded.

"So what are you doing now?" asked Lan.

"Commander Beef and I decided that it may be for the best if I reveal the fact that I am a netnavi. I did make one request though."

"What was that?" said Lan.

"Wait and see," said Sarah, "Wait and see."

The next Monday Lan was in registration. Ms. Mari had come in with a smile on her face.

"Class, I am pleased to announce the return of a student," said Ms. Mari, "Many of you know that this young girl has a secret as it has been all over the news networks this past week." Lan looked up from his desk. "Many of you may have realised who I'm talking about, I see Lan has. Welcome back Sarah Hikari, the human netnavi."

Sarah just walked in shaking her head at Ms. Mari's over the top announcement. Lan, Mayl, Dex and Yai all smiled as she took her seat next to Lan.

"Now if you can all turn to page 154 of your textbooks. Navi's too, then can anyone tell me the name of a virus that uses a melee attack? said Ms. Mari as Sarah's hand went straight up.

Lan smiled, sometimes having a few secrets wasn't so bad, but then again, he never actually expected her to be the first solo to go through high school.
