Daddy... do I have to have these on my head?

I don't like them

And they give me a headache

An alarm blared loudly in a small room, it continued to create loud noises that woke the occupant next door. A thump suddenly echoed from room beside the current occupant followed by a loud groan.

"Anny turn that off please! You know I hate it!" a boy pleaded as he knocked on the person's door. Slowly a lump that was in the bed started moving after being unable to block out the noise any more. Slowly a hand reached out from the bed sheets and turned the phone off causing the disturbing noises to cease, a low sigh entered their ears as they heard the boy.

"Thanks Anny but why do you keep that alarm?" the boy asked. Slowly a black haired girl with brown eyes got up from bed, not caring that her hair was messy she scratched her stomach after slipping her hand under her white shirt. After opening the door the tired girl gave him a look.

"Don't we have school in forty minutes Lan? You always sleep in and it's not my fault the walls are thin" the girl muttered in a low tone before yawning with her mouth covered. Lan groaned from the comment before pausing.

"Hey wait... you said we have school in forty minutes?" Lan commented faintly as he realised something. Meanwhile Anny continued to give him a dry tired look which he almost ignored given the situation. "Thanks Anny!" Lan yelled with a wide smile now happy that alarm had woken him up, Anny in the meantime winced and placed a hand to her left ear.

"Too loud Lan, please take it down a notch" Anny muttered weakly as he closed his door to change. Shaking her head she went to close her door and change as well. Looking at a mirror on the table she used for work she frowned at her appearance. Her hair was up to her waist and covered both her ears to her inner relief, placing a hand to her right ear she frowned as she felt a rush of sadness as she was left remembering why she had chosen to keep her ears covered.

"I'll need to cut my hair again soon, it's getting too long at the back" she murmured while running her fingers through her shoulder length bangs. Looking at the time she stared with a neutral look before getting ready. Now wearing a black knee high dress she soon placed a pair of black joggers before slipping on her blue slippers. At times she had been asked about her choice of styles before kindly brushing it off, this time she was sure Dex would bother her after school but she would always shrug it off. Grabbing her hair tie she began to tie her hair and allowed the rest of her hair to rest on her right shoulder, once again she looked at her reflection to make sure her clothes were okay and grabbed her navy blue jacket and black bag.

On the way to the kitchen she spotted a woman with short brown hair, spotting the girl from the corner of her eye the woman smiled.

"Good morning Anny, did you sleep well?" the woman asked, placing her bag down Anny nodded with a faint smile.

"It was okay Auntie Haruka, what about you?" Anny asked with a curious look before thanking the woman for handing her a glass of orange juice.

"I slept fine" Haruka laughed before Lan rushed in the kitchen to eat.

"Morning Mum! Morning Anny" Lan greeted once he sat down, immediately he began to eat rapidly as opposed to Anny nibbling her toast as to prevent herself from being sick.

"Lan you know you're going to be sick if you keep shoving all your food down you're throat" Anny said blandly, still not use to him eating like that. Looking at her Lan felt his cheeks go pink from embarrassment.

"S-sorry, I was just worried about the time" Lan admitted as he saw her sigh and shake her head.

"Now Lan you have time before school starts, why rush?" Haruka asked kindly as she sat down to eat. Nodding Lan resumed eating but slowed down just a bit. Once Anny was done she got up.

"Thank you for the meal auntie" Anny said as she went to wash up and grab her shoes.

"Safe trip Haruka called as she got up, a sad sigh left her lips when she saw Anny leave without another word. Lan while he was eating swallowed thickly.

"Mum, why must we allow her to go to that school?" he asked knowing Anny had no one at the school to consider her a friend. Haruka smiled and patted his head softly.

"It's not our decision to make, it was written in a will that stated she should go there when she is old enough" she replied kindly as she went to wash up.

"But mum! She hates the school" he whined before she rolled her eyes softly.

"Well... she has her two cousins from her mother's side who will keep her safe. Besides-" Haruka folded her arms as she faces Lan fully "you can't keep relying on her for everything and that includes paying attention to your studies young man" Haruka said with a playful glint in her eye while Lan squirmed in his seat due to how it struck a nerve. Mostly thanks to Dex who kept bullying him.

"Y-Yes mother" Lan said weakly before finishing his food quickly in order to get to school.

"If I'm lucky I can meet Anny after school" Lan thought with a small smile as he got up and grabbed is bag, after bidding his mother good bye he left the house with his skates.

Anny who had arrived at school looked up at the tall building which had gates around it to keep intruders out stood in an almost imposing manner, which in turn left her feeling a migraine forming at how she was being made to go to this school. Heaving through her nose Anny mentally groaned.

"On the bright side Sabrine and Netto are here, that's something… I guess" she tried to give herself a pep talk which unfortunately failed to give her the will to want to enter the building.

"Why she put me here is beyond me, all I see are snobs and stuck up shnits" she added darkly before her phone beeped, curious she opened the unread message on her phone after she passed the gates. Anny soon felt a smile form on her face as soon as she saw the message.

"Thought I could hack you a message, have a good day and ignore the pests- your favourite surfer and ps Flarer says hi" Anny as she read the message immediately felt her heart swell in joy knowing her friend was at it again but still took the time to contact her despite the fact he was 'working' somewhere.

"Thanks Surfhacker" Anny pocketed her phone before entering the building, only she stopped just after entering, a mental scowl formed from seeing a person who was being flocked by people that wanted to speak to him.

"And here I thought he was going to ditch school to work… guess that was too much to ask… bother!" she muttered darkly before almost jumping as an arm appeared without warning and suddenly slung itself around her, frowning she turned to glare at a teenage blond haired blue eyed male who was tall but lanky due to his eating habits.

"Hey cousin, how was the weekend?" the boy asked disregarding her look given how he was use to seeing it whenever they met.

"It was fine until I saw you two again" she replied darkly with a scowl planted on her face.

"Netto get off her! You know she hates that" a tall teenage girl scolded the male as she walked up go the pair in a brisk manner. The trio now stood together after going towards a set of stairs but ignored any looks or the words people were muttering, especially from the object of Anny's dislike who soon noticed them.

"It's the Hina family" a girl whispered as the trio went towards a set of doors that led to their class. Netto as he heard this almost snorted out aloud, but kept his composure knowing his sister would grill him for reacting. To the outside world they were an untouchable trio who relied solely on each other. No one bothered them and they would do the same unless provoked. As influential as they were, they were dangerous in their own right and some who were wise enough to know or guess would stay clear of them to avoid being hurt.

Anny as she felt relief from having her cousins near ignored the black and white haired boy who had noticed them, her teeth clenched themselves out of reflex from seeing him but remained emotionless about it. As they walked to their classes the trio bid farewell to each other as they were learning different subjects while some required them to be in the same classroom. As Anny guessed, the boy she ignored was in some of classes to her dismay and to add more frustration he was sitting behind her. Despite the fact she had made it clear that she wanted him sitting well away from her she remained composed in order to prevent more issues that would in turn alert the object of her disgust.

Taking out her books and pencil case she began to jot down notes, mostly due to the fact she had no PET. No matter how hard Netto complained to Anny, she would always refuse saying that she had no use for it even after he had tried at times to promote it. Only this would cause his sister to kick his mood down lower than it would have when she took Anny's side. To Anny's relief however besides Dex no one else bothered her on the subject... well except a fisherman named Masa who applauded her for not getting one. Not that she cared as she already had some digital friends on the net living with a friend of her father's who worked in what looks like a run down office. Taking out a small pencil during quiet time she moves her note book up a bit and resumes sketching a design for a new net navi friend who would have the same program as her two friends only the navi would have the power of electricity. To store and create as well as attack when needed.

"For sure uncle would need this given the electric bills that are no doubt piling up. Flarer is already helping with heating so now electricity will be a must for sure" Anny mused as she wrote Starlight under the sketched navi. From the corner of the boy's eye however he soon noticed her drawing under her work book and frowned, instead of calling her out however due to how well she excels at school he bit his lip and went back to his book while paying attention to the teacher once more while occasionally keeping an eye out just in case she tried anything funny. It was strange that this girl would even affect him and yet he didn't feel threatened by her one bit strangely enough. Instead he felt... sad? It was completely strange indeed to him as he knew hardly anything about her. Except she at times when their eyes met had immediately given him the cold shoulder, which as a result both confused and vexed him to the point he often wondered what he could have done to have her treat him like this. Sighing heavily he went back to finishing his questions.

"As if I have time for such useless things" he muttered while Anny went still and bit the inside of her right cheek feeling frustrated by the situation.

"Not that I have any choice when it comes to avoiding you idiot" Anny nearly scowled as she shook herself out of her sad spell. Her mind went to a woman with black and white hair which almost made her grip on the pencil slacken. A frown formed on her face.

"If only you knew what your husband did, I wish you were still here... not that your son would ever remember me" her jaw clenched knowing why this would be the case. "It's for the best anyways" she sighed mentally before resuming her drawing. Once she was done Anny looked up at the teacher who now called her up to do a math equation, standing up she silently walks towards the board and began jotting down the answer after staring at it for two minutes. Once done she walks back to her seat, ignoring the looks and comments as she goes through her line.

"That's perfect, at least there's a student who knows their stuff" the teacher praised as he held his pen, meanwhile some students frowned from the double meaning behind his words. Anny at the same time ignored the stunned feelings coming from the boy behind her and resumed her finishing touches of the doodle.

"Good thing uncle teaches me about programming" she muttered before hearing the bell ring, despite the fact she was packing in a brisk manner the others were packing slowly thanks to the teacher who was giving them a lecture. As Anny left the classroom she soon saw Netto running towards her with a grin.

"How was programming?" he asked as they walked past a few corridors that would lead them towards their next class maths.

"Average" Anny replied in a monotone voice that made Netto wince while smiling in a brittle manner, not that she cared one bit

"No one gave you trouble though right?" Netto asked resuming his concern for his cousin despite the fact she was older. Raising a brow she frowned.

"They wouldn't dare, not unless they want their parents on them" she replied in the same tone, just hearing her words and tone immediately sent shivers down his spine.

"With who you are, no one would dare bother you if they knew" he mused weakly earning him an unamused stare from Anny.

"Y-Yeah..." Netto released a nervous chuckle until they left a staircase, the pair soon made their way towards their math class. As expected once Anny had sat down with Sabrine and Netto, she had immediately spotted the boy from her programing class enter the room.

"Chaud wasn't bothering you right" Sabrine asked before frowning as she saw the person in question.

"Just staring, very nosy…" Anny said loud enough for Chaud to hear. Stealing a quick glance at him she immediately resumed typing her findings of the new design to her uncle who had replied quickly.

"This would be helpful, but remember you're in school so please text me after class. I don't want you getting into trouble" Anny as she saw this chuckled under her breath before listening to the teacher, as she listened her phone had buzzed a few times causing her to clench her teeth together. While she resisted the urge to check it she soon became antsy after the phone buzzed for twentieth time.

"Um… Sensei" Anny called with a shy smile catching everyone's attention.

"What is it?" the teacher who had ruby contacts and ginger hair asked with a curious look.

"I'm afraid I need to use the restroom" Anny replied with a meek chuckle, raising a brow the teacher looked at her while Sabrine and Netto grew uneasy thanks to her words.

"Is it urgent?" the teacher asked as she sized Anny up briefly. At the same time some students whispered amongst themselves while Chaud stared at her with confusion, his eyes slightly narrowed in suspicion.

"Very urgent, it can't wait" Anny replied lightly earning her a worried look from the teacher.

"If you need to go home alert the headmaster" the teacher said briskly before silencing the now unhappy class. Nodding her thanks Anny packed up and left the room earning the teacher more angry voices from her students. Netto looked sharply at Sabrine who went pale with worry.

"What do you think happened?" Netto asked as Sabrine shook her head.

"I don't know, that's what worries me" Sabrine whispered back.

Anny as she reached the top floor of the school took out her phone and checked the messages with hardened eyes.

"A fire broke out again two blocks from where I live" a message from someone named José which was the first message on her phone.

"Darkloids were spotted again, will keep monitoring just in case they act up" this made her hand tense on the phone knowing it was not good news to hear.

"Undernet has some illegal activities, I caught two groups and left them for the police to collect. One was embezzling from a few companies the other part of a drug ring"

"In Okawa there's been a rise in thefts, we are investigating this further" Anny as she read them was about to respond to the fire message until two particular ones caught her.

"That accursed Navi Bass has wrecked my turf! Just went to find my group missing and the area is damaged beyond repair, why are not dealing with this menace?" a person named Hardy ranted in his video message, this in turn left her sighing heavily before leaning on the nearest wall. Just hearing the name made her body almost go slack as repressed emotions welled up, only instead of allowing them to bother her she swallowed.

"Anny I spotted Bass, so far I have done my best to subdue him after he challenged me to another fight. I know things are not how we wanted them to be but he is alive and nursing his injuries after I left" seeing this Anny sighed heavily in relief knowing that Bass was okay, peeved that he had once again picked a fight with someone who he had no chance of winning against but relieved he was 'okay'. Something that made her chuckle given how she knew now a days he could be very scrappy.

"Thanks Serenade, didn't break a nail did you?" she teased only to see a funny image of a ticked off navi in yellow appear on her phone after Anny accepted the video call.

"Jee... I maybe female but I am not frail!" Serenade muttered darkly, this Anny almost laughed at the response.

"Didn't say you were, I would be really ashamed if you had lost. I did train you didn't I? By the way your father sent me an email, you have a trail in two days. A guy was shot in the head. Will do autopsy if you want" Anny said before another message showed up a few minutes later

"Oh, okay thanks for letting me know. I would appreciate it a lot if you did do it. At least I'll be able to get proper information and not a file that leads to speculations" the message said causing Anny to roll her eyes.

"Would it kill you to do it once in a while?" she asked with a bland look.

"You know I don't have the skills or the eyes to do it. I have to keep an eye on the Undernet. Oh an watch out there's been another fire just a few minutes ago" the message replied, Anny's expression turned grim as Serenade frowned due to how serious the fire had been.

"What are they doing? You'd think the officials would get this sorted" Anny muttered darkly as she looked up at the sky.

"Your guess is as good as mine, some of the Undernet Navis are getting antsy because of how damaging some of the fires are. Some of it is close to home as well, their net ops are acting out thinking that rival gangs are doing this. It's been a nightmare trying to get the Net Navis to calm down while some of the solo Navis are almost adding fuel to the fires" Serenade added with a semi weary look, not that Anny could blame her. This was getting out of hand, even for accident and childish pranks.

"Thanks for letting me know, I will speak to someone about this to see what is going to be done about it. Stay out of trouble okay?" Anny instructed "oh and keep an eye on Mamoru, his life force was flickering today" and with that she pocketed her phone after hanging up the phone and went straight to the headmaster's room. Once she knocked she entered to see a middle aged man look up quickly. He wore a green blazer and brown trousers that was being held by a brown belt. He also had black shoes that had been shined recently.

"A-Ah Anny, what um... seems to be the problem?" he asked shakily as she folded her arms.

"I have to leave school today, some incidences have broken out" Anny explained causing him to fumble and jump in his chair.

"Of course Anny- I mean Miss Rune. You can go now" he said while handing her a slip.

"Thank you-oh and before I forget" her eyes narrowed without warning "sort out the misfits, I don't want the security to go lax and become vulnerable to threats. WWW is still at large and unless you want to endanger the lives of everyone here I suggest you re-evaluate what you're doing" she warned causing his face to go pale from fear thanks to her cold tone.

"R-Right away!" he cried before going to his desk to make some calls and deal with the messages on his computer. Frowning she stared at him before leaving him to his work.

A sigh left her lips after leaving the building once she gave the slip to the receptionist, when she left the gates Anny immediately undid her blazer and removed her hair tie. Her eyes narrowed before heading straight towards the police station.

"Get this fire situation sorted! I am hearing complaints from various parties and it's grating on my nerves!" Anny had shouted at the chief who was shaking slightly in fear after she entered the room without an appointment.

"But we don't know where they're coming from or who's doing it"

"Well find out or else it's your job that goes up in flames" she spat crossly earning her a fearful look.

Now leaving the station she brushed her hair from her face, her mind remained on who could be responsible for the chaos which in turn left her mood deflating. A sigh soon left Anny's lips as she went towards Sea Breeze Hospital knowing that she had an appointment there. Once inside the building she was greeted by a man with brown hair and grey eyes wearing a white doctor's coat.

"Ah Anny! You're early" he said cheerfully as he led her towards the elevator that would take them up to the third floor "how are you?" he asked as Anny gripped her bag tightly.

"Tired… wish I was at home Dr. Riman" Anny admitted weakly as she looked up at him, seeing this he smiled softly.

"I know, but once we find a cure you'll be able to do whatever you like" he commented in hopes of cheering her up.

"But in the meantime I can't even stress myself out, yeah I know… can't even run much without being breathless" Anny muttered as her mind went to her father who had tried to help her and failed.

"Then again… he was always treating me as a lab rat, I still don't know if he cared for me or not and it's a stupid thing to think about. After all… he's gone just like mother" Anny mused as she almost touched her right ear in reflex.

"Chin up Anny, I hear you're making things like what was that robot called? Ale-"

"Allegro, it's a storage robot" Anny said while looking up at him with a frown "I can't even enjoy the sun much since Lan would just want to run about, I know he's trying to understand but…" Anny bit her right inner cheek in frustration not hearing the bell ding nor did she notice the doors open, she bristled before noticing that it was the doctor who was alerting her that they could leave the elevator.

"Anny… it takes time, your uncle has been supportive has he not?" the doctor asked with a cheerful smile that caused her to almost falter.

"I guess… but he's hardly home, I'm mostly living with Lan and Auntie Haruka who even miss him as well" Anny explained as she entered an examination room, as she entered her body almost shivered in fear due to how cold the place felt. Images of being in a similar room caused her to almost bolt had the doctor caught her in time.

"Anny, I promise it's just to check your vitals. I'm not taking any blood from you today. Trust me" Dr. Riman said softly as he coaxed a reluctant Anny towards the bed. Sitting down gingerly she removed her blazer and looked at her hands that were clenching tightly in worry. Seeing this the doctor almost sighed knowing why she was like this. After checking her heart, pulse, blood pressure and weight the doctor remained quiet as he jotted everything down briskly knowing that she was still on edge.

"Anny you're losing weight again, have you been eating properly?" Looking up at him Anny bit her lip.

"It's just stress" Anny admitted causing his brows to go up.

"Anny, your blood pressure results have spiked up again. Please try to decrease your stress levels, if you're not careful you will collapse" Dr. Riman explained as he placed his hands on his lap.

"How's Mamoru?" Anny asked now wanting to change the subject, as a result the man sighed.

"He had a small attack, he's fine now but we've sedated him to be on the safe side" Dr. Riman said earning him a small sigh from Anny.

"Can I see him please? I really need to see him" Anny asked looking worried, her eyes grew more concerned to his dismay.

"Of course but I'm going to keep you here tonight for observations, these results are not getting any better and I want the next batch of results to be better before you go is that clear?" hearing this Anny mentally smiled knowing that she would be spending time with Mamoru as a result.

"Deal" she nodded softly, hearing this Dr. Riman almost chuckled at how eager she was to see her friend.

"Come on you, oh and make sure you're not getting involved in any trouble. Don't think I haven't heard from the notice board about the fires" Dr. Riman said with a glint in his eye, raising her hands up she gave him an innocent smile.

"Why Dr. Riman, how can I get involved?" His eye twitched before a weak chuckle left his lips.

"We both know how, now go and see him" Dr. Riman waved his hand in defeat, smiling she grabbed her bag and blazer before leaving the room. Her eyes as soon as she saw Mamoru grew slightly sombre even as she sat down at his bedside knowing that he was very sick. But she continued to hope and pray for his recovery knowing that he deserved a better life than being stuck in the hospital.

"We both do…" Anny muttered before grabbing her phone.

"Going to spend the night with a friend, behave yourself Lan!" Anny texted before seeing a response from Lan, seeing the message she almost laughed.

"Come on! I wanted to see you after school!"

"Lan, my friends want to spend time with me" she replied with a sad smile, her mind continued to grow troubled thanks to the fact she was lying to him about her situation. Only her aunt and uncle knew why she was in and out hospitals but chose to keep it quiet as to not upset Lan. Sure she trusted Lan to be understanding but it was not nice to put so much on him when he could be living his life without having to be worried almost every day about her wellbeing. Once Anny pocketed her phone, she leaned on the chair and slowly went to sleep knowing that it would take a while for him to wake up.

Anny once she entered her aunt's home sighed knowing that things had now been fixed, Lan to her shock and relief had somehow stopped the one responsible for the fires. But that didn't mean she was not upset over how he placed himself in harms way. Not even scolding him left her more at ease since WWW would no doubt be planning their next move.

"Hello Anny, are you okay?" Haruka greeted her niece who looked at her with weary eyes, not saying anything Anny immediately hugged her aunt tightly.

"How are you?" Anny asked looking worried earning her a chuckle from the woman.

"Oh I'm fine, it takes more than a fire to upset me. I'm just glad you, Lan and Maylu were not harmed" Haruka said as she handed Anny a cup of water.

"I was at the hospital, they kept me there until my vitals were back to normal" Anny explained earning her a worried look from Haruka.

"I'm just relieved that you don't have to stay there longer, when's the next date?" Haruka asked as they sat at the table, she watched Anny fiddle with the cup with a frown.

"Next week, the spike in vitals was not a good sign" Anny explained, hearing this Haruka bit her lip weakly.

"I see… if you need time off just let me know, I would rather you study at home than be placed in a situation that would distress you" Haruka said earning her a grateful smile from the girl.

"Thanks Auntie" Anny released a relieved sigh.

"Now that's over, there is a package for you which I've left in your room. You haven't been ordering stuff have you?" Haruka asked with a sly smile that made Anny blink in surprise.

"NO! Why would I?" Anny asked now looking at the ceiling where her room was.

"Why not go and see what it is, could be from an uncle or something" she added as she got up to make some dinner given the time.

"Okay, thanks Auntie" and with that Anny grabbed the cup before going to her bedroom, she blinked in confusion due to seeing a medium sized box sitting on her bed. Her eyes immediately went towards a white envelope and placed her cup down in order to take it from the box.

"This was in my possession before the Alpha Revolt, I'm sorry the promise wasn't kept but I can only hope that things will turn out for the best. I did what I could to create it based on how you designed it.

Take care Anny"

Anny's eyes immediately grew sombre before she eyed the box wearily, slowly grabbing a pair of scissors she sliced the tape off and began to look inside. Her hands soon placed the scissors down in order to reach for what was inside.

"So this is how it is going to be huh?" Anny asked as she eyed the clear brown disk after picking it up with a wearily look feeling her mind grow heavy with unhappy emotions. Just reminiscing made an ache she had tried to repress appear once more allowing her to relive those moments again.

Images of a 7 year old girl entered Anny's mind, the girl who had been in a research room filled with books was on the floor drawing some images. Beside her were images of 3 robot like figures that she had tried to draw based on memory even if they did look off due to how old she was. Just seeing them would often give her joy and sorrow due to how bittersweet their parting had been. Some images she had been currently drawing were scruffy while the colours had often not matched nor looked right with the images but the girl cared not as a thought came to mind- friend. She wanted to make a friend for someone who was often by himself and was often treated badly by the mean people just because of what he could do. This way, if it was completed her friend would no longer be alone. He would have someone similar to him who he could speak to even if he was unable to speak to her.

Anny as she thought about a particular image sighed as she eyed the disk with mixed emotions, all the heartache in her opinion had been for nothing given how her friend was now exiled and treated as an evil 'God of Destruction' because of corrupt people. Who despite being caught and arrested, it had not truly brought solace as the damage had already been done.

"Brings back memories huh?" she murmured softly looked at the disk.

"How you survived let alone were completed is beyond me" Anny placed the disk into the now opened blue P.E.T console so she could use the computer to upload it. "Uncle must have created you… I wonder if he used father's research to make you" she mused softly as she turned everything on.

As Anny who was wearing a white shirt and blue shorts slept peacefully, the P.E.T once the clock showed that it was midnight started to glow in many colours as the transformation took place from within the screen.

The helmet of the standard Navi that was originally residing within the P.E.T began changed to yellow with a blue diamond on the center of its head, on it's neck was a black choker with its emblem, it wore a golden yellow necklace chain, on the wrists and ankles were fin like bracelets which were yellow, the Navi wore a black jumpsuit with a yellow faded see through bell like skirt with a V slit at the front, the fringe was up to top of the shoulders and had fin hair bands on both sides of the fringe which were tied to the back of the long hair which was up to the knees, outside of both the legs was a blue line, the Navi wore black shoes and on the soles of its feet were white, the eyes of the Navi were blood red but were the eyes warm and gentle.

After it was completed, the Navi blinked as it took in its surroundings. The room itself was plain and dull, as if it wasn't used in a while.

There was a shelf on top of the computer and another near the bed that had been nailed to the wall. The shelves beside the table near the computer had some files including some books about the network and Net Navis.

A bookcase located on the other side of the computer contained school books, a few sketchbooks and some paintings that looked a few years old.

"Anny?" The Navi finally spoke in a bell like voice, curiosity filled it's voice as it took in the dark room which was to it's relief illuminated slightly thanks to the computer screen.

Once it was morning Anny soon woke up to see the computer screen had gone dark causing her to stare blankly before blinking slowly, a yawn slowly left her lips before she got up and went to examine the P.E.T. She frowned slightly as she stared at it. Anny continued to observe the Navi silently after what could have been hours, neither moved or said anything as they took in the other's appearance. The Net Navi however instead of complaining or speaking remained patient as it was aware of the situation before it was put to sleep.

After a pregnant pause Anny took a seat and folded her arms as she stared at the P.E.T, a soft sigh left her lips before her mouth parted slowly. All feelings gone as she spoke.

"...Hello Ballara" Anny said hollowly.

Ballara nodded silently knowing it was best not to talk given what had happened.

"10 years... 10 years since the incident and yet you show up at my doorstep since" Anny said bitterly again, silence stole a few minutes as a question continued to nag at Anny deeply.

"How did you find me?" she asked the silent Navi.

"I was brought here, to warn you... Wily is back" Ballara replied softly. Anny nodded with empty eyes.

"I know, the Undernet has buzzing about WWW and its leader" Anny replied tonelessly, "So... who sent you here?" she asked. Ballara's face turned pale like as her mind went to what happened before.

"It was-"
