I shake the dizziness out of my head as I remember the rushes often make me dizzy.

"Whitney?" I say.

"Over here!" Lyra's voice calls.

I look over to where the voice came from and gasp.

Whitney now looks like a punk rocker from the 190x times, as her outfit is a combination of pink and black and blue, with Lyra in her hand.

"I can wave change!" Whitney says proudly.

"As I thought." Omega-Xis says in a surprisingly grave voice.

"O…Omega-Xis?" I say, raising my arm so I could look him in the eye.

"There were rumors that Lee Furukoni, the famous singer and supposed descendant of Sonia Skye," Omega-Xis says, "was switched at birth. Whitney, where were you born?"

"Japan," Whitney says, "My family taught me some Japanese honorifics because I planned to move to Japan."

"Another confirmation," Omega-Xis says, "then Whitney must be a descendent of Sonia. Only Sonia's bloodline- or anyone with similar EM waves as Lyra- can EM Wave Change with Lyra."

Silence engulfs our little group, as Whitney and I look at each other with looks of fear.

So Whitney's descended from Sonia Skye, Geo Stelar died before he could reach junior high…

"Crown's heading for Garden Wake," Omega-Xis says, breaking our silence.

"C-Crown?" Lyra says.

"Yes," Omega-Xis says, "and there should be a few more FM-ians looking for humans. We already took care of Taurus, but we're going to need Battle Cards before facing any more FM-ians."

"Yes," Lyra says quietly, "they were proclaimed as illegal around a hundred years ago. The virus-enslaving system seemed a lot less harmless…other than what Sonia's descendants call 'EM lag'."

"EM what?" I say.

"EM lag is a term for a dangerous slowdown," Lyra says, "it can teleport you anywhere within twenty feet, cause injuries without touching anything, and even disease. The virus-enslaver system is the cause, as nearly everyone has to enslave viruses."

"How come Garden Wake hasn't experienced it?" Whitney asks.

"It's a small place here," Lyra says, "and there's not as many viruses, mainly because this place has more trees than buildings."

"And Battle Cards don't cause EM lag?" I ask.

"I've never experienced it," Omega-Xis says, "and Geo was fine until Andromeda got him. EM lag didn't exist 200 years ago, that's for sure."

"Then we need to get Battle Cards as soon as possible!" I say.

"I know a place," Lyra says, "but we're going to need to communicate with Cancer."
