Una.exe – Vengeance
Chapter 10 – Beginning of a Lifetime
Within what seemed like moments of Yai's arrival, Sarah and Chaud had arrived along with Sam.
"WHAT!" screamed Hub when he heard the news, "I'm going to destroy him for this!"
"Calm down," said Sarah, "We know that most of Blu is safe."
"What?" said a confused Una.
"Excuse me," said Lan and Mayl walking in, between them they carried Blu who they laid down on the sofa.
"I thought she was kidnapped?" said Hub.
MegaMan lifted Blu's head and pulled up her hair so Hub could see her neck.
"What is that?" said Una pointing at a silver device attached to Blu's neck.
"A miniature Pulse Transmission Device," said Lan, "I saw one recently at SciLab, Wily designed it in prison apparently but it was confiscated and sent to SciLab for analysis."
"How does it work?" asked Hub.
"It uses an infra – red connection to connect to the nearest computer," said Lan, "Then it can maintain it over large distances through microwaves."
"What was the nearest computer?" said Hub.
"Her PET," said Chaud, "Unfortunately, whoever planted it had enough brains to take it with them. We already have our systems working full time on it so don't worry."
"This talk of microwaves has made me hungry," said Lan, "Is that tea ready yet Mayl?"
"Our son's friend has been kidnapped and all's you can think about is food?" said Mayl, "Why exactly am I surprised at that?"
"We've nothing else to do and we have spare food because Blu isn't here," said Lan, "So why not?"
"Me and Chaud are fine," said Sarah, "But I think Sam's hungry if you have any left over."
"Yay!" said Sam who brought her arms down fast, Hub managed to move his leg out of the way of her left arm and watched his mums face contort as it hit the sofa with a sickening crack. Hub and Una instinctively jumped off the sofa as it collapsed.
"Sorry," said Sam all of a sudden looking irresistibly cute.
"We'll pay for a new one," said Sarah, "Watch that arm in future Sam." Hub could almost hear her silently cursing her sister.
Luckily, Roll had had enough thought to keep an eye on the food and Mayl, Sarah and Roll soon came out of the kitchen carrying the plates. Mayl, Lan, Hub, Yai and Sam all started eating whilst Sarah, Chaud and the navis went upstairs to Lan's study.
"What do we know?" said Sarah.
"Not a lot," said Chaud.
"Tell me about it," said ProtoMan who had been Jacked Into the house.
"Our best lead is Demon Waters," said MegaMan.
"But we can't go without permission from Official HQ," said Sarah, "And we can't get permission without evidence that her minds there."
"Dilemma," said Una.
"We should have the evidence before the end of tonight though," said Roll.
"Yes," said Sarah, "And Chaud will be staying to look after Sam if Mayl wants to go, won't you sweetie."
"But isn't that..." started Chaud before he noticed MegaMan jumping around behind Sarah shaking his head and drawing his hand across his throat, "Yes dear."
"I knew you'd see it my way," said Sarah before punching MegaMan in the gut as her PET beeped. She picked it up and answered the call.
After a few moments she grabbed her coat and ran downstairs.
"Chaud," she said, "Make sure Yai gets home ok, Lan, Mayl, Hub, MegaMan, Roll, Una, we're going to Demon Waters!"
