Sinya and Zark at at it once again! Even with her training, Sinya discovered the fact that she really doesn't pass as a fighter, so she decided to use her agility to scout ahead to assure safe passage for his ally, as well as locating any potential targets for them to strike down. While Zark is down on the ground, moving throughout the crowds of people, Sinya is off climbing everything, be it cliffs, rocks or buildings, in order to reach a high spot with a wide view in order to scout with ease. After their missions they'd usually hang out with their new friend Altitude on an island far away from Sinya's home, where she'd be brought to by Zark. When meeting him properly for the first time, Altitude introduced himself to Sinya as the leader of the so-called Guardians. A group of highly-trained and combat-proficient warriors who go on dangerous missions. But behind their intimidating reputation, they were just a bunch of goofballs. Sometimes some of Altitude's fellow Guardians would come along with him. All is going well for the unlikely duo...

   ...perhaps too well....

During another of their ventures together, this time taking place in a faraway mountanous village during April 11th, 2023. The weather is unbearably hot, but the two have their objectives. Sinya is once again scouting ahead as Zark waits for her to call out any targets for him to strike. Just another mission... Sinya climbs up to a nearby hill to check out the surrounding terrain and populace. She pulls out a pair of binoculars out her pouch which rested on her waist to have a closer look, when she suddenly felt what initially seemed as a bad headache:

S - "Urgh, not now!"

Surprisingly, the pain went away only after a few seconds. Sinya was confused by what happened, but nevertheless dismissed it as nothing important and continued with the task at hand. She looked through the binoculars and what happened promptly surprised her:

S - "What's happening with me..." - She was confused.

At this moment, Sinya could people through walls, and was able to effortlessly hear every little sound they were making when she focused her attention on them. She put the binoculars away, thinking she was just hallucinating because of the warm weather, but nothing changed. It took her a minute to realize the truth of what is happening right now:

S - "Wait..." - She was starting to get all giddy.

S - "Is this... my power?!" - She was on the brink of exploding from joy.

She kept looking in and out of her binoculars, unable to get enough of her discovery.

S - "Yes yes yes yes yes! Finally, it came! And it's so cool, too... Ahh Ha Ha-" - Her laughter was a most joyous one.

Suddenly, her walkie talkie on her waist turned on.

Z - "Hey Sinny, what's going on over there?"

Sinya quickly shook her head and composed herself:

S - "Oh, nothing, Zark! I have something to tell you, but it can wait!"

Z - "Heh, alright. I can tell from your chipper mood that it's something good."

After their mission, the two finally met, with Sinya running at Zark at full speed:

S - "Zaark! You won't believe what happened, I can't wait to tell you-"

Z - "Sheesh, Sinny. Take a deep breath and tell me, but calmly."

S - "Ahh, alright." - Sinya took a moment to take a deep breath and calm herself.

Z - "So, what is it?"

S - "It's my power, Zark! It finally came!"

Z - "Oh, really?" - Zark was genuinely surprised.

S - "Yes! You won't believe what it is!"
