UnaEXE – A week in Each Others Shoes
Chapter 5 – Suspicions
After sending the emails to Mamoru and Yai Sarah stood outside the Hub's bedroom door with Mayl and Lan. They had moved a camp bed in for Una and Sarah and Mayl had given them both a check over. Sarah had some ideas about what had happened but had told nothing to Lan and Mayl except what she had seen in the battle.
She closed her eyes and thought, the power levels the computer had recorded were impossibilities in themselves, but she knew she had known something like it. After the pair had been moved she had logged in and, for want of a better word, tasted the power she had used. It had a familiar taste but she couldn't remember where from at all.
She concentrated harder, she knew when she had felt it, but now had to find that part of herself again, a tug of war with her memories against her own human soul. Kari was like the little sister who constantly took your stuff and wouldn't give it back when it came to her memories, Sarah had a few of her memories, and Kari wasn't all too willing to relinquish more.
"Come on Kari," thought Sarah desperately, Think of Hub and Una, I need this for them." She clutched the memory as Kari pulled at it, Kari snatched it from her hands leaving Sarah grappling at a few fragments of the memory, although for Sarah, it was more than enough.
"How are you still alive Kari?" screamed Scyler in Kari's face, "You just never give up do you?"
"Not until I have my navi back," replied Kari cool and controlled, Sarah could feel the damage Scyler had done to Kari through the memory and was surprised she was still standing.
"You lost me the day you died," hissed Scyler in reply.
"No, I lost you the day you started to listen to Mr. Wily's lies."
"He's never lied to me, but you betrayed me!"
"No, I'd never intentionally betray you Scyler, you know that."
"Be still and I'll stop all your betrayal." Scyler rushed forwards with a blade in hand and went to slice as Kari raised a barrier to protect herself and Scyler rebounded off it. Kari rushed in and held her blade at Scyler's throat
"How?" hissed Scyler, "How are you so strong?"
"My father gives me strength," replied Kari, "Whilst our souls are joined nothing can stop us."
"Impossible," hissed Scyler, "No navi has that power, the power to meld its mind and soul with a human."
"Wrong," replied Kari, "This is Power Infinite, the ultimate team of navi and human abilities!"
"Power Infinite," muttered Sarah.
"What was that?" asked Mayl looking at Sarah.
"Nothing," replied Sarah quickly snapping out of her memories, "I'm just going to see if either of them has woken up." She stood up and carefully walked up to Hub's room. She stood outside a few moments before going in.
Inside she examined the claw marks left on Una's body by Scyler before turning to Hub. She carefully removed his shirt before knowing she'd been correct. Across Hub's chest were three scratch marks in exactly the same position as Una's. They hadn't achieved Power Infinite or Full Syncro as it was now known, they'd surpassed it.
