Chapter Five: The Truth about Sonika (Part Two)

The two suddenly saw Kaz on the boat. "Kaz!" Sonika shouted. "Sonika!" She shouted, "Thank goodness that you're alright. I've got Jerick. He's fine don't worry…" She got her hand then sat on the boat. "Hey…Sonika…" Jerick said with a smile. "Jerick!" She said. She hugged him for a while then stopped. "I was so worried about you…" She said. "I'm sorry Sonika…" He said. Then Jerick and Kaz saw Parasite. "Who's this Sonika?" Kaz asked. "This is Parasite." She answered, "I've found him inside the engine room." Kaz rowed back to the dock where Maeda is.

At the dock, they got out. "You're alright!" Maeda said. All of them started to laugh. Then they looked at the sky. "It's finally over…" Jerick said. Then a thought appeared in Sonika's head. "I don't understand…" She said, "Why…why do 'I" have this kind of 'power?'" "It's because…Jinita's inside you Sonika-san…" Maeda answered. "What do you mean…?" She asked.

"I've looked at my files then saw your family's medical file. When your sister died during the operation, you had a transplant when you're young."

"A transplant…? What kind of transplant?"

"You can't remember this, but…you had a defective left eye when you're ten. Then your sister's cornea was transplanted in your eye."

"My left eye…? My mom didn't tell me…she is a medical doctor… Then…what I saw when I touched May was…"

"It's said when you have extreme experience…what you see then is branded onto the cornea… but this haven't been scientifically proven yet."

"Then that was…Jinita's last memory? The last thing she ever saw before she died…"

"As for the mitochondria in your body Sonika-san…it went in a different process than May's…by living symbiotically in your mitochondria…it still, however, can possess May's power, from there, it evolve to the point where it could live symbiotically with the nucleus…"

"Mine…and Jinita's…our…our mitochondrial power…"

"Starting with the incident in Japan…and now this…I wonder if this is a message to all beings…"

"Message…?" Jerick asked.

"What kind of message…?" Kaz added.

"How can I explain…? If the earth is a single being, we beings that invade the earth become like viruses out of control… We, in essence, are upsetting the natural balance of the body… This is definitely…utter destruction…"

"We're…we're not that weak…" Jerick said.

"You see…beings, in essence, are parasites…You can say that we're the parasites and the world is our host."

Kaz suddenly saw the sun. "Guys look!" She said, "The sun's coming up!" They looked at the sun. Sonika's thoughts appeared in her head. "Jinita…we did it…we save the world…" She said in her thoughts, "You may now rest in peace…Jinita-chan…" "Let's go home…" Jerick said. "Maeda, Kaz…you can stay in Thorndyke Estate with me…" Sonika said. "Alright…" They said. She picked up Parasite then they went to Jerick's car then he drove them to Thorndyke Estate.
