Net City
Everything was quiet in the cyber world of navis. The buildings were dark and damp and since the evil was gone everything had rested peacefully. But there was a faint voice calling... for a certain little girl. It was a weak voice but it can be heard million digital highways.
"C-Ca-Cal find me..." The voice had spoken. And a figure appeared but only by dark shadows. It slowly disappeared in a foggy mist unable to be seen...
TWO MONTHS AFTER INCIDENT...
Possessions
Chapter 1: Information to Memories
Rana Chip Company(RCC)
A red building stood in the mountains of China. It was a rectangular box that looked a lot like a present being given to a giant. The climate was cool with the breezy wind and warmth from the yellow sun. It was weather that Calista Rana, a heir to her company, loved. She was in her office balcony seeing the fresh bamboo trees and the berries that grew in bushes. Puny leaf warblers were eating the berries and every time theyate it they would squirt the red juice out.
The balcony had a couple of relaxing plants on each side and Calista was sitting on a soft chair. She still had her black short hair but this time her ribbon was in the back of her head and it was braided in a line. She wore a blue collared shirt and it had her symbol on the right side. Her light blue skirt was straight down and she had black dress shoes. She rested her arms in the balcony, feeling the cold stone, and the doors that lead inside her office was open. She sighed and looked at her empty P.E.T.
/Mom...where is the file for Armella? I need to find Armella now.../ Calista thought sadly. Her navi, Armella, was deleted by exhaustion of a Time Chip. It was a heavy loss for Calista but she remembered the day when she first got the light blue navi...
Flashback
Rana Mansion 8:00
"Calista..." Her mother called in a hallway. Calista peeked in one of the doors and called out in a soft voice. She was eight years old and she wore purple pajamas that had magenta hearts in the outlined collar.
"Hai?" She asked.
"Come here for a minute please." Her mother commanded. Calista winced and she did as she was told. She walked away from her room and she went through the hallway seeing all the pictures of the whole family. Calista finally went inside her mother's room. It had a lot of jewelry and she felt the soft carpet that had designs of flowers on her feet. Her mother was combing her black hair and she turned around to see the little girl.
"Calista. I think you are ready for something." Her mother said.
"What is it mama?" She asked. She held her little comforting friend named Petalchan, a teddy bear that had a blue and pink petticoat. It also had pink ribbons in the ears. It was her only friend that she has.
"I want you to have this." Her mother held a cerulean P.E.T.
"Mom...are you sure? I don't want to abandon Petalchan." Calista hugged her little teddy bear. Her mother smiled.
"No..." She laughed. "Petalchan will always be safe in your room. But this P.E.T must have safe procedures. I want you to take care of this. And..." She held the P.E.T more closer to the girl.
"Here is your new friend." Calista stared at the figure in front of her. "Her name is Armella and she will be yours to command." Calista took the P.E.T. from her mom and she held it looking closer at the P.E.T.
"Hi!" The sweet voice called out. "My name is Armella." Calista didn't know how to respond but she called back.
"My name is Calista." She whispered. Armella smiled.
"Calista huh? Well I hope we can be great partners and friends!" She ended up cheering the little girl and Calista spun around and around with her new P.E.T. Her mother smiled and she sent Calista back to her room...
/I'll take care of you forever.../ She thought happily. Who knew that the little girl could make such friends? And in her other hand she held the arm of her Petalchan.
End Flashback
Calista sighed with depression. She had a lot of fun with her navi. She turned around and gazed at the trophy she won at the N1 Grand Prix. Sciba City was fun but she remembered all her friends at Dentech City. She missed them a lot.
"Calista!" Calista looked down in the balcony and saw her mother with her red suit. "I'll be right back. I have to get something."
"Okay!" She called back and her mother went inside the limo and she was driven away. Calista went back to the office seeing that she got an email. She rushed right in and she clicked on the box that had the message. She was surprised to see who sent it. She read,
Dear Calista,
It's us from Dentech! We really miss you over here and we want to send you this message. Guess what? The Steel Building from Ayano Tech is being carried to a new area! I have no idea how but I'm sure that it will be used for the good. And we have to take care of that hole too...Haha. Oh yeah! And we have the broken Time Chip at Scilabs. We are currently researching about it and still nothing. I'm sure that Armella can be brought back. We promise. And anyway I think it would be best if you came back. We would have better results since you know how to make chips. But if you're busy then we will go ahead and keep on researching more.
Sincerely,
Lan Hikari and Friends
(P.S. Protoman is in DEEP depression! I think this looks a little strange...)
Calista laughed at the message. It seems that Protoman really misses Armella, knowing they have a secret love for each other. She put the message in a file onto the computer and she went outside the balcony again.
Scilab
"AH!" Lan and Chaud were in crossfusion and they were fighting against each other. It seems that Dr.Hikari was yet experimenting another project. It had to deal with allies battling against each other without getting hurt. It was a great way to practice but then-
"Er..." Lan fell to the ground. His crossfusion disappeared with exhaustion. Dr.Hikari stopped the dimensional area and Chaud went over to him.
"You all right?" He asked. He helped him up.
"Yeah. But this is just practice. Can you lower it down?" Lan rubbed his arm.
"I wish. But I get serious while battling so I really can't-"
"YES YOU CAN!" Lan started to tackle Chaud but he stepped away making the brunette fall back to the ground again.
"Ow..." He muttered. Chaud smirked.
"Unreal." He shook his head. Lan's eyes widened.
"I was just suggesting!" He slumped. Chaud grabbed his hand to pick him up and turned away to face Dr.Hikari.
"I have to do something back at Ayano Tech. Can I do this tomorrow?" He asked. Dr.Hikari nodded as he was typing more things in the computer. He checked their stats and combat and it seems that Lan did more progress.
/Thank you.../ Lan thought. Chaud went out of the Scilab and he called a limo to take him back to Ayano Tech that was currently in construction.
"So dad, did you get anything for the Time Chip yet?" Lan asked.
"Not yet. I have to focus it more than the project. I'm sure that Calista is doing fine on her own, you know getting Armella's files."
"Yeah. But I want to see the info on the Time Chip. And she said a little earlier that her mom still didn't find the files." Lan said. Dr.Hikari looked at him.
"Well we have to keep faith. Armella may or may not come back, but we still need to keep trying." Dr.Hikari comforted the boy that looked awfully worried.
RCC
"Calista! I'm back!" Calista was checking more email when she heard a shout. She looked back at the balcony and saw her mom with pieces of paper.
/Paper/ Calista thought. She went out of her office and she went down the elevator until it made her stop. With a couple of seconds Calista was out of the elevator and saw her mom in front of her.
"What is it?" Calista pointed to the papers. Her mom gave them to her to find out on her own. Calista's eyes suddenly widened.
"WOW!" The papers were passports to the Japanese Airport..., which means that she can go to the Scilabs. Her mother went down to her eye level. She wondered why she was doing this.
"Calista. I will look for the files one more time. I will search for them even if it takes forever." Her mom made a promise.
"Mom I-"
"The files for Armella are very important and I don't want you to be in sorrow." Her mom ended.
"Mom..." Calista began to start a conversation when her mother shook her head to stop.
"Look, you are my daughter. I will do everything I can to help. Now I want you to go stay in Japan and see if they have theTime chip."
"Yeah they do." Calista realized. Her mother nodded.
"Until I receive the files I want you to take care of Oscar and Grandma all right?" She asked the young girl. Calista thought about it and she nodded. She was going back to Japan.
"Mom?" The two ladies turned around and they saw Oscar. His birthday already passed and he was ten years old. He was wearing a red shirt under a blue vest that had their symbol. He was wearing black pants that had a chain in the pocket and he wore red and blue gloves that showed his fingers. His hair stayed the same and also his eyes with pure black.
"Are we really going back to Japan?" Oscar had his head down. "I don't want to be apart anymore. I hate it..." The two ladies frowned and his mother went down to his eye level.
"We're not apart you know. We always have each other." His mother whispered. Oscar gazed up to his mom and he was just being impractical. He shook his head and nodded.
"Wrenchman, can you see when the next plane arrives?" Oscar asked his navi. It has already been two months since the two bonded and they had became unstoppable of all China. Wrenchman logged out of the P.E.T to do his command. He came back for a few minutes and he said that the next plane was at night.
"Well, we have to pack right?" He smiled. The two ladies felt better that Oscar was being matured after his birthday. He even grew a little taller making him look like he was up to Calista's shoulder. Last time he was by the waist. It was a complete change for him.
Ayano Tech
"Okay boys! Job is done! You can go home!" The leader of the construction site was beat and the construction workers agreed. Chaud watched them, being away from the site but closer to see how they are doing. Since the Steel Building was so large they had no choice but to leave it there for a little while. They thought to use fire to burn it but it will get too dangerous to risk. When all of the workers were gone Chaud stepped in to see how much they did.
/Ugh...still not making anything.../ Chaud clenched his locket. He looked up at the sky seeing the stars and moon.
"Chaud. It's getting late." His navi, Protoman, had spoken. Chaud held the P.E.T. "and I'm starting to think it's going to pour."
"Oh. Okay." Chaud ran to the limo and it did began to rain.
China Airport
"Boarding in five minutes!" The pilot called out.
People put on hoods since the wind and rain began to blow furiously. Calista, Oscar, and her grandmother were already in their seats. Oscar was soaking wet because he forgot his jacket so his grandmother lend him one. Calista wore her ribbon in the left side and she was wearing blue jeans that had a chain and blue snowflake gloves. As her blue sweater that had a white line at the bottom made her warm she gazed the rain remembering a dreaded scene.
Flashback
Steel Building
5...
"Cally..." Armella groaned. The Time Limit was almost gone...
4...
"Armella you did so well..." Calista grab hold of the P.E.T. "Don't go!"
3...
"I..." Armella groaned once more. "I can't move but..."
2...
"I...love you..." Armella whispered. Calista didn't know how to react but...
1...
"I love you too..." Calista burst into tears also and saw Armella disappeared of existence. With digital confetti swarming around her body, she had panted her last breath.
TIME CHIP CORRUPTED. The chip from the inside was released and cracked like a rock.
ARMELLA DELETED
Calista never thought she could hear those words. But it came true. Armella was gone...
"ARMEL NO!"
End Flashback
/No...No...No.../ It echoed in her head. She covered her ears to stop but she could feel it pounding to get out. Calista slowly let go and she put her hand in the cold window. It was going to be a long night and the word 'no' would last for a long time.
A/N: Okay. This is what I got so far. Thank you for reading the start of the sequel!
