DAVIS AND THE PRINCESS

PART 1: THE GREEN ORB

After waking up from a dream, Davis looked at his calendar. When he saw the date, he got up and looked at his journal. He was going to write more into that later. The dream that he had was interesting, though.

It was showing a young boy, who he must have assumed was just him younger, and a bridge. This was on a really rainy day, or night to say. A bridge leading to a castle down opened down, and out rode a girl, about maybe the age of the young boy. With her was an older female, who could have been her caretaker. Yeah, that's what Davis settled with. Then after he saw them ride off, another man showed up on his own horse. Davis then felt himself in that part of the dream, as if he where real. The man looked at him, and Davis felt paralyzed, and the man grabbed onto him. That was when he woke up.

This was a new kind of dream, one that he never had before. Maybe it was a sign that he needed to return to the digital world. Be the hero he promised Starmon not to long ago that he would be. But before that, maybe he would go around Highton View Terrace a little. Enough to find a place with good Wi-Fi reception. Then he could take the computer gate inside.

"I have the answer." Davis said to himself. "The school computer lab." Then he changed his clothes, a purple shirt. Dark blue shorts, and a red blue vest. That had red flames on the bottom. He kept his spiky, since he honestly didn't care much for that detail of his appearance. Once he walked outside into his living room, he found his parents asleep. He wrote a note, so they wouldn't worry about him when they see him gone.

Mom and Dad,

Heading out to the middle school, going to the computer lab. I won't be gone long. See you later today.

Davis

Davis put the note on his desk. Looking around, he found the picture of his modern day family and him on a trip. He picked it up, and put it in his pocket.

"I will be coming back, just in case it takes much longer than I intend on doing this project in." He told himself, and got out the door. They where always gone until like five or six. Then they would always go out to dinner, and get something for the whole family. So it was no surprise when it was four a clock and they haven't even called yet. He left the house, and walked down the stairs. Waited at the streets, and crossed when nobody was there to stop him or run him over. He knew that he would survive it without even getting phased, due to him being practically immortal. But he didn't want to cause trouble for others around town. At the other side of the street, he went to the school. Walked inside, and found almost nobody there. That was good for him, since he didn't want anybody else seeing him doing what he was going to do. he walked slowly to the computer lab, and went inside. Once inside, and turned on one of the computers. Then pressed the combination of buttons that only he knew would open up the gate. The computer sucked him in, as intended. This was the computer that the new branch of digidestined would be using from that time one. Since with that combination of buttons, he activated it as a gate. All they needed was a digivice. But Davis did it the classic way, the combination.

When he was inside the digital world, he found himself on a bed. He looked around the house, and found nobody in it. He found a letter reading 'for anybody who can find this place, this is a safe zone. Many things that you need to travel this land with can be found here. Use them wisely and well, since you don't want to lose or ruin them.' Davis put the note away, and looked around even more. There was a pot, and he found some money in it.

"I will take half of it. Leave some for the next person to stop by." Davis said, and put some money in his pocket. He knew for sure he would need that. Then walked outside, telling himself that he would come back if he truly needed something else.

Once outside, he found a child digimon on the bottom. Davis then saw that he was on a house raised in the tress by a ladder. The child digimon looked like they never even seen a human before now.

"What are you?" It asked, and jumped up. "Can you come down, so I could see you better?" It asked its second question, and Davis went down the ladder. At the bottom, the digimon took its awful good time just to examine him. Even smelling him like crazy. He didn't reject, until it started pulling down Davis's pants.

"Hey, okay. Let's not do that. What is this village anyways? No wait, which of the eight provinces is this? Or which of the four continents?" Davis knew many things. Like that there where four continents. Server, File Island, Diamond lands. And Sapphire Island. He knew the names weren't that good, but it was a part of history, so he just let the names be what they were. Then there was eight provinces, two for each continent. And in those provinces, there where several county's. With a city inside them, and a castle by the same name of the county and city, like a capital. Then most county's had several villages in them. It was very complex, and he was in like one of possibly two or three hundred villages. Maybe that was pushing it a little too far, but still. Maybe this child digimon would be able to give him some directions or some other good stuff. The child digimon led Davis to the main village, and he saw about five or six small houses.

"Why don't you take a look around this place?" The small digimon said, and Davis thanked the digimon by giving it two dollars, and left it. He went into the first most obvious place, the shop. Inside it, he saw the store owner. A older female digimon, who looked really sad. Davis walked up to the female digimon owner. To see what the problem was.

"Is there any assistance that you need?" Davis asked, and the female digimon looked up at him. As if relived that somebody asked her if she needed any help.

"My cat got away. She hasn't returned recently. I think I know what the thing to attract her back here would be. She loves fish, and if you can help me on two things, I will let you keep both items that you need. But for now, they are just for borrows." The female digimon told Davis, and he wondered what he would need to do.

"I have this bad bee-hive outside the store. I will let you borrow a slingshot to take the hive down, and afterwards, I will let you borrow a fishing rod to get a fish out of the pond in the village. Then if the cat finds the fish, and returns here, I will be thankful of you. Then you can keep the slingshot and fishing rod for good. Free of charge. What will you say?" Davis didn't really know if he needed a fishing rod or slingshot, but he would help any citizen in the digital world. Since he felt this was his calling. So he decided that he would do this, and let her give him the reward she wanted afterwards.

"I will do it. To help out another digimon with a problem going on." Davis responded, and the female digimon gave him the slingshot for the first task. Davis walked out of the shop, and looked around for the bee hive on the store somewhere. He couldn't believe that it took him like three minutes to find it, but when he did, he aimed at the bee hive. He saw that he only had five seeds to fire with, so he pretty much had to get it right. He fired once, missed. Fired again, hit it, but wouldn't fall down. Tried a third time, missed again, but hit a couple bees. Hit a fourth time, and it fell on the ground. After the fifth hit, the bees swarmed out of the bee hive and flew out of the village. Going to a new place. Davis picked the hive up, and showed the female digimon store owner what he had done.

"So you got the hive down. That took like ten minutes to do, but you have my thanks for getting these bees out of my place now. I will hand you the fishing rod, and the pond is fifteen minutes north of here. I bet the cat will be there, and will follow you back here if you catch the fish." The female store owner told Davis, and handed him a average size fishing rod. About the size of one you would see in a store. He walked outside, and headed up the town. On his way, he saw a male middle aged digimon fishing at the end of the pond.

"Howdy there human! You look a lot like the ones that appear in the books of legend. Not that it really matters. Anyways, I see you have a fishing rod, but no bait. As any fishermen would know, there is no way you can fish without a bait for the rod. So I will hand you a bait for free. Hopefully you would be able to catch the fish that you need with it. If you need more after this, I will be willing to hand you one, for a dollar of a price." The male fishing digimon said, and handed Davis the bait he was talking about. "Good luck on you fishing." Davis left the male fishermen alone to try and fish something out. Davis never fished before in his entire life. No wait, maybe twice. But still, not a lot considering his years. He grabbed the rod, and threw the line in. After he put the bait at the top, and waited. While waiting, he saw the cat that the female store owner was looking for. He just hoped he would get the fish, and the cat would follow. After like what felt like nearly half an hour, something was pulling on the rod. It was a fish, a small red one. He kept pulling back, and the fish grabbed the bait. Then Davis pulled back harder and harder, and got the fish. He was surprised that it worked so well after this being like the third time he ever done so, in his entire life.

"Wow. I got the fish already. Not complaining. I'm just shocked. He looked at the cat, and when he was close to it. The cat started running after him. Davis then ran towards the store, and got inside. The cat was right behind him, and the female digimon owner looked really happy.

"Thank you. Thank you. In less than two hours, you helped a digimon in need human. It might have been small, but you are always welcome to this store during hours. As a friend, and prices will be fifty percent less for you. As a added bonus, I will let you keep the fishing rod and slingshot." She told him, and Davis wondered how she ever even got them

"Might I ask, how and where did you get these?" Davis asked, and she looked sad.

"My son had them. He died a while back. By this thing called Devimon. I still have his picture, but that is most dear to me. If there is one thing I will keep, it is that. No amount of money or work for me can get that picture away from me." She told him, and he handed her three dollars.

"Sorry to hear for your loss. This will be just for you. To help you get closer to retirement funds." Davis said, and was about to head out the door, when he thought of something. "I will be back. Where is the way out of here?" He asked, and the female digimon pointed south.

"Back the way you came is the only sure route. Go that way, and take a left. Then there is a route that leads to this beautiful spring. Any traveler human or digimon should see it. Only one in the entire continent of Diamond Lands. And one of four in the entire digital world, each continent has one." She told him, and Davis thanked her once again. Then walked out of the store. He went around the village. When he was about to head right back to the area he started from, like the female store owner suggested, there was a loud yell.

"Help! I need someone to help me get my bulls back in there house!" Davis debated it over himself, and decided that he should at least give it a try. He walked over to the screaming man digimon. Another male digimon, about a little older than the one fishing. A hunched back, and squinted eyes.

"Please. Get my bulls back to their little house that they should be in. Borrow the horse next to me for help. If you go fast enough, then they will all run back. Then take that average sized wooden poll and bar up the door with it. Then they will stay inside that place until they stay tamed. I have no reward, I just need the help. If they don't get put back, then they could possibly rampage all over town and destroy so many houses from it. Do the kind thing sir, and I will be indebted to you." The male hunched back digimon said, and Davis didn't really want to do it. Since it would have been night by the time he was done. But he decided that it wouldn't have been the worst thing ever. So he got on the horse, and started rounding up all the bulls. There were ten of them, and when he was done. He did the thing the hunched back digimon told him to do. That was put the giant wooden poll over the door. Locking it, and making sure that none could get out. Then he walked back to the hunched back digimon.

"Thank you. As I said before, there is no reward sadly. But I will let you on your way. I also learned the best way to round up the horses. So now I can do it easier when this happened again. But I hope it doesn't." The male digimon said, and sent Davis on his way. He left the village, and was back to his starting place. He looked to his left, and saw the path that the female store owner digimon said there was. He walked into it, and saw a huge bridge over a giant cliff that's end he saw none of. He walked it slowly, in fear that he would fall. Since the bridge swayed one way or another with every step. He got slower about half way, and took his time more. When he reached the end, he saw a huge opening. It was amazing to look at, and he couldn't believe what he has just walked into. That was one thing about the digital world. Sometimes when he went inside it, he was taken into what was possible the greatest world of wonders there could possibly be. He had been proud to be a part of this creation and experience all along the way. Save for the last few years, when he was just a kid for a second time. He saw the trees, and marveled at them. There were tons of forests in this world, but this was the most amazing. He called this 'The Great Forest'. He looked around, to see if there was that spring the female shop owner digimon told him about. He wanted to see that for himself at least once. Even for just a minute. After a little wandering around, he saw a bush. He walked towards it, and looked behind it. When he did, he saw it. The most amazing spring that he had ever put his eyes upon. It was light, and everything about it was just a beauty to look at. The flow and water pouring down from the top was something that he had never seen to such a great extent. He walked around the bush, and stepped inside the springs. He didn't feel his shoes or socks getting wet, just them getting adjusted to a new landscape. There were five digimon there at the spring to. Four female, the oldest being a late teenager. Then one male, who looked the same as the oldest female, give or take a year to him. Davis walked up to them. All five turning around to see him.

"Hello. It is nice to see such a nice human face. What brings you here?" The older female said, and Davis couldn't think of a good honest answer without him sounding weird.

"Just looking around. Do you live in this village?' He asked, wondering if they were allowed out this late. The male nodded, and Davis looked around. The spring looked like it had a certain light towards it. Everyone kept a nice, perfect silence for a while. Then a burning fire went right for them. Davis yelled at them to get down. They did, but then the worst happened. Arrows of fire shot towards them, and a bunch of boars rode towards them. Each having a master Orc looking digimon. All fat and looked like they had been experienced warriors. They grabbed the digimon, and punched Davis in the face. He fell down, stunned. The boars rode around him for a minute, and he was able to see it. Each of the Orcs shooting fire arrows on the ground, forming a circle around him. When he passed out, all the Orcs, bulls and digimon of the village were gone. When he looked upon it, he noticed that the young child digimon who saw him when he first arrived being taken to, so there was six of them gone. He couldn't do anything about it, and that was all his fault. He should have, but he couldn't.

When he awoke, he knew it was past midnight. Easy. He got up, and then something happened. He screamed really loud, so that most digimon from the village could probably hear him. He felt his body form change, and that lasted a minute or two. Then felt like he was an entirely different thing. An entirely different creature. Then a female spirit showed up before him.

"You are the hero that the gods want? You don't look that great in adult or little kid." She said, and Davis looked down. Then he saw it. He was in the body of a ten year old.

"What the heck? Why is this happening?" he asked, and she told him to keep quiet.

"You will be turning back in fourth from a ten year old kids body to the adult body that you have before the end comes. Don't worry, you're still the one-hundred and forty-seven year old man you are, just in a ten year old body. Not that much different, considering you are in a normal fifteen year old body normally. Don't worry, when you go back to Earth and everything, I will change you back to your normal self. But this is needed, for you to complete your task that I have." The female spirit said, and Davis wondered what she was talking about.

"What task do you have that needs me to be a child again for parts of it?" Davis asked, and the female spirit had a very sad expression on her face. Davis felt great pity for her, and didn't know quite what to say.

"There is this land called the twilight. They tried to take this world over during the time World War 1 was happening on Earth. You remember that right?" She asked, and Davis nodded.

"One of the darkest times of this world. Aside from the Era of Darkness. What brings this world up again?" Davis asked, and the female spirit looked as if she where in honest pain.

"There is a evil king trying to take this world again form the twilight. Instead, this time, he made the digital world and the twilight world nearly the same thing. Making us the same world, and living the same way you all do. But since we are just the twilight, we can never reveal ourselves fully to the digimon. And since the digital world is not the same as the one of twilight, digimon can never see us. We are two worlds, that are in the same one as another, but we don't know of it. We need a hero. I need a hero. You are the one." The female spirit said, and looked completely honest. Davis could see the pain in her eyes, like even the thought of it hurt.

"What is it that I need to do exactly?" Davis asked, and the female spirit looked at him.

"With the ability to transfer to a kid and teenager, you can see this world of twilight as a kid. Since you cannot as a teenager or adult. Once a human reaches thirteen, they can't see it anymore. But you, as ten could. Look around, can you see something strange that you could have sword wasn't there a minute ago, in your teenager body?" The female spirit asked, and Davis did as she told him. At first, there was no difference, but then he caught onto something really quick. A shine on a flower that wasn't there, and Davis went up to it. He picked it up, and the scent was really strong. He had to get used to it after a few seconds.

"I can smell things a lot better, and see shining lights." Davis answered, and noticed something else. Everything except for ten feet in front of him was pitched black.

"Yes, you can smell things like nothing else. A gift from me. Also you can see everything ten feet ahead of you a thousand times better. But everything after that is complete darkness, and you can't see anything after that point. That is a set back to the extra smell and sight just ahead of you. But it can also let you see the world of twilight, as well as the digital world in a way that you never would have before." The female spirit told him, and Davis walked up to her, with the also extra hearing he had, he reached her with no problem. Despite being at least fifteen feet away. This was all very strange for the guy, and needed to take some serious getting used to. That was for sure.

"I think that we should go out a check a little bot of the world of twilight. There is something that I really want you to see. So I will have to knock you out a second time. Sorry for that." The female spirit said, and at least this time, Davis was prepared. She put her hand on his face, and he started feeling his energy drain from him. He then very quickly fell to the ground, and could see nothing.

Davis awoke, and saw the female spirit over him. She was watching him sleep, as if this was very important to her.

"You are awake again. This is your first experience in the current world of twilight. This is a place that you must see, and let everything sink in. This king has gone out of his way to make this place the worst it could be. You are in a room that is barred up. Every house is slowly starting to turn into this. All started when Devimon was creating the black gears. I think that Devimon and the evil king of the world of twilight have a connection in some way. But that will be for later. First, you need to get out of this room. Before the monsters of his creation see you in here. They will kill you if they do. They have almost as little mercy as the evil king." The female spirit told Davis, and he tried to see what could have been accessible from his ten foot sight ability. he put his hand out, and tried feeling for something. Then tried smelling. That was where he got his best luck. He smelled something on the ground. No, a area on the ground. One that felt more worn out than the others. As if putting people or boxes in the room on that one place over and over again. He walked towards it, the ten foot sight getting closer to having that appear in his vision with each step. When he took like another ten steps, he saw the place he was thinking about. It was a small hole on the wall, maybe one that a rat made. To get in and out of this house by secret, so digimon could notice their presence in the house.

"I think I could fit through that hole." Davis said, and he was pretty sure of it with his height decrease. "I'm going to give it a try." He said, and started fitting himself through the hole. He made it inside, and dug his way out onto the other side of it. He was outside. Well, outside of the house that is.

"We are in the sewers connecting the entire underground system in Diamond Lands. I never thought that this place was still around. I thought it was abandoned when the Royal Knights took the digital world over that one brief period of time. If we're lucky, we could find something that could help us. Or maybe this place is abandoned. If so, I wouldn't want to know what could be down here?" The female spirit said. Davis thought to himself that this spirit talked a lot, and would never shut up. That would get very annoying if it kept it. But he went back to his current job at hand. He walked around, bumping into things quite often. With his lack of sight, he didn't find that to be in any way surprising. Then one time, he fell down and pressed a button without even meaning to. Then he heard loud noises, and a door was rising up. Granting them a new way around the sewers.

"Let's try it out." Davis said, and walked to the now opened door. With the spirit close behind him. He walked down a hall, and stepped on some skeletons quite a bit. Making loud cracking noises under his feet.

"I hope that nothing attacks us because of the loud cracking noises." Davis muttered, and continued following down the main hallway path. He wondered how much longer this path would go.

"This path will lead us outside, and we could reach the castle of Twilight through the path that we are going. I feel like we are one step closer to showing you what you need to see." The female spirit told him, and Davis was shocked. Went nearly three minutes without talking. That was a major surprise. He continued down the hallway, the only to noises being his footsteps on the ground, and the bones still cracking under his feet. Then he reached the end of the hallway, he knew this was the case, since he hit his head really hard against the wall. He looked around, and saw a lever. He pulled it, and another door opened. A nice, and wrong breeze started blowing at the. Davis would say wrong because it feels like it isn't supposed to be there, like it was forced actually.

"This is the outside breeze of the Twilight. Well, since the evil king decided to take this land over. I wish he would be thrown out soon." The female spirit told him, and Davis walked outside.

Outside, he saw black birds flying around in the sky. They had loud, terrible noises. That hurt Davis's ears. Then he saw that he was on top of a building. One that wasn't very stable, and could break apart at any minute. He knew that he would have to walk very slowly, and carefully in order to avoid falling down and having to start all over again. Or break the ceiling of the house. The breeze was still wrong to him, and it was getting stronger. He saw the clouds up ahead, and they were pitch black. Even without his lack of sight. The ground below him was all covered with rain, and soulless spirits were singing to themselves. A silent tune, that even with no words was still sad a depressing.

"Those are digimon in the eyes of the twilight world. They have no emotion, just wordless talking. They also have a light blue glow to them. This applies to all digimon, not just some of them. I feel kind of sad seeing it myself." The female spirit told him what the beings where.

"So beings with no soul, and can't do anything." Davis said to himself, and felt pity on them. These were still living beings. Yet, in some world, they aren't more than just imagination, or just spirits in a way.

"The black birds are the evil side to them. If the black bird gets defeated, then thy will be normal to the world of twilight. And they can speak words we know then, and be beings we can relate to. But the thing is, they can hardly be killed." The female spirit said, and Davis looked ahead of him. He saw some holes on the roof, and walked around them. Like in a spy mission. Jumped around some poles, and had made it half way across the roof when it got more confusing. He saw another roof above, but he had to climb this nearly destroyed ladder to reach it. He grabbed ahold of it lightly, and went up it slower than he ever had. One mistake, and he would fall down, and possibly risk his life. He has been in this instigation more than once in his life. The wind was pounding hard on him, and he was getting up as fast as possible. The female spirit was on top, waiting for him. He felt a part of the ladder starting to break off, and Davis sped himself a little faster. When he reached the top of the ladder, he sat down in relief.

"That was a lot harder than I thought it would have been." Davis told the female spirit, and they just sat there for about a minute.

"So, are you dead, or just a spirit?" Davis asked the female spirit, and she looked sadly at him. He felt he knew the answer had to do with the evil king.

"I was a living female, as you might have noticed. Until the evil king took over, and all who opposed him either went into hiding or became spirits of the twilight world. Not dead, but not the living beings that we where. I feel like the evil king is unstoppable." The female spirit replied, and Davis wondered what her name was.

"What is your name?" He asked, and she smiled. Happy that at least somebody cared. Human, digimon, or another fellow spirit.

"My name, when I was a normal girl was Adda. Not much of a name, but I was happy of it. Now when this has happened, I beg for it to return. I wish that I could be a normal girl again, my childhood was ruined." The female spirit answered, and Davis was surprised. A kid, how old was she when this happened?

'How old were you when the evil king took over?' Davis asked, and she thought about it for a second.

"I was fourteen." She answered, and Davis frowned. Only a teenager, only about as old as this new mind set that Davis had. Even being so young doesn't change the fact that these worlds are brutal. Barely able to live, having to fight to feed your hunger, and threats like this. Davis remembered the land of twilight from before, but it was never this bad. In fact, it was just a opposite of the digital world when he looks back on it. Nothing to huge or bad. This, however, was one of the worst things he ever saw. That was saying a lot, it looked like everything was sad and depressing. Even worse than a tragic novel. He felt like his happy, his emotional health drain away just being here. He had to get out of this twilight place soon. He got himself up, and went around. Adda, who he new knew was the female spirit followed him for a minute or two until she called him for his attention once again.

"That castle is near. You just need to walk across the roofs of these three buildings." Adda said, and showed him three buildings. "It might not seem hard, but I can feel the wind coming. As well as black birds coming to examine you." Davis nodded, and took her advice. He walked across them slowly, and he could also feel the wind pounding down harder than it had been before. Davis was about to fall a few times, but managed to get himself together each time at the last moment. He kept walking, and resisting the wind. He managed to get passed the first roof, and only needed to get past the other two. On the second roof, one black bird starting flying towards him at dangerous speeds. Davis dodged, and grabbed onto one of the feet of the bird. Adda tried to help him, but Davis was too far up. He climbed to the top of the bird, and he knew he had to do something. He opened up the bird mouth, and pushed the top and bottom apart form each other. The bird was screaming a little, and started falling down to the ground. Davis jumped off, and landed right next to Adda.

"Davis, I have no clue how you where able to do that." She said, and Davis was as confused. He didn't have a clue how he did it either.

"I don't know. I just sort of though of something at the last moment." Davis admitted, and looked at Adda. "Well, it worked at least." He said, and they moved on with the second roof. He was walking, and after a little bit more time than the last, he made it across the second roof. Now he just had to get across the last one. This roof had holes all over it, and he saw rain pouring down through them. Seeing them fill up the building inside, and some things fleeing from the inside. He knew he had to get around the holes, so he wouldn't fall down into the water. So he did it like before, jumping around each one, and getting through them. Then he reached a building even bigger than any of the ones in that place. There was a hole at the side of the wall. But he knew this one was on purpose, like it was an entrance path.

"This is the castle, that is a secret hole that we made when the evil king took over. It is the only we could get inside without him knowing." Adda told him, and gestured Davis to go inside. He did, and saw broken stairs that went up several hundred feet up to the top of the castle. Some star pieces were gone, and another didn't appear for like another thirty feet above. Davis gulped, as he knew this was almost impossible to get through.

"This is going to be one of the hardest things I have done in a while." Davis said, and Adda looked at him. Then started to look at him, for measurement.

"Davis, I will be there. Follow every move I make, and you will still be fine. The evil king made this trap, so that no intruders could get inside. Such as spirits who try to rebel to this, such as myself. As I said, follow my lead." Adda said, and moved up to the next part of stairs a floor above him. "Trust in me, and just take a jump. I will grab you, and take you up." Adda said, and Davis looked down. He wasn't scared of heights, but for some reason, this was just terrifying him. Then he took the plunge, and felt himself fall. After feeling the rush stop, he wondered if he fell all the way down, or if he was dead. But Adda did what she said, and got him while he was falling.

"You really did it." Davis said, and looked down. He saw he wasn't even half way to the ground. He was just overly worried. Then looked back up at Adda, and she smiled at him. He smiled back, and they kept flying up towards the top of the tower. Since she could just go the whole way without having to stop. When they reached the top, Adda informed him of the door they were seeking this whole time.

"We've made it this far. Might as well go the rest of the way. Let's head inside this room, and you will see something that we are looking for." Adda took Davis, and she opened the door. Davis followed her.

The room was dark from having the room light being burnt out. The rain storm of black rain was even more fierce outside than it was when they had walked into the castle.

"Davis, look for a black journal in this room. Inside the journal are entries that you will want to see for yourself. It explains the entire situation very well in short parts, and it might get you to understand everything much better." Adda told Davis, and he started looking through all the stuff.

"Do you have a idea of where the black journal might possibly be?" Davis asked, and Adda looked at him like she had no clue.

"No, not really. It's been a while since I have been here. The other spirits against the evil king have been here since me, but I never seen them in a while either." Adda responded, and Davis started looking on his own again. He looked through some drawers, but couldn't find anything. Then he tried out the desk. Looked through everything at the desk, but still couldn't find anything quite yet. Then looked under the bed, and Davis felt something under it. He started to pull it towards him, and looked at it. There it was, a black journal that was hidden in case the evil king showed up. It was only dusty because it was under the bed for so long, but he blew all the dust bunnies away from it.

"You found it!' Adda yelled at first, then got quiet. Just in case. "Now read it, and see what I mean." Davis opened the first page, and started reading it all.

We have done it. We started proper resistance against the evil king. Okay, let me back up here. To the story of how the evil king came into ruling.

His name was Camoran. He was a man that nobody knew about. Just a normal thief that you would see everyday. From the valley in File Island. The digital world is a nice place. I heard of the four orbs, each devoted to a god.

Green Orb -Ebonwumon-

Red Orb -Zhuqiaomon-

Blue Orb -Azulongmon-

Yellow Orb -Baihumon-

Anyways, back to the story. So the man Camoran went to the castle one day, and said he tried to see the queen. While meeting the queen, he challenged her rule, and killed her. Then taking the seat as his own, made his own monsters of the twilight. He became the evil king of the twilight. All within a days work. Nobody knew that it would happen, it just did. Shows you how weak the control system is here.

But after several years of his ruling, we have grown tired. I and some other spirits who where forced to the hell land before out time decided to make a resistance. We have one major base in each province of the digital world, and one here. This is the small one, one we only use in dire times.

The eight bases are temples; those are the places we have met up in. But that was until Camoran knew of the resistance. He went to each, and wiped out the populations in them. Now we are less than twenty strong, when we used to have three hundred. I fear we might lose. Camoran has taken over the temples, and used them for his doings. Soon he will have both worlds. Soon, we will have none left. Unless if we find the hero. The hero lost in time. This is when Adda comes in, she must find him, and get him. He is the only one who may save us. He will be able to change his appearance of age to be able to see this land if you find him. That is the only way he can see both. I leave here now, and anybody else who shows up may write what they must. As long as they are in the resistance. Or pledging to join it.

Davis put the notebook down, and looked at Adda.

"You were assigned to get me?" He asked, and she looked at him. In a yes and no sort of way.

"I didn't know it was you, but I was assigned to get you. If that makes any sense. I was one of the first to join the resistance. I believe in order to win; we need digimon and twilight creatures to join us both. We need some from both worlds to defeat Camoran. Will you join the resistance as a proper member?" Adda asked, and Davis thought over it. Then nodded, in a whatever sort of way.

"I need something to do throughout the day. Besides write my life story, hang out with my friends, hang with family, and fantasize over the greatest person in the entire world. With her purple hair, and cute little glasses. With her gorgeous face and body. That's just a part of it. There's her integrity, knowledge, courage, sympathy, and kindness. God, I love her so much. More than anybody or anything" Davis got distracted, and just saw that he did. "Sorry, yes, I will join." He replied, and Adda smiled. Davis still had the thought of Yolei on his mind. The one he loved.

"Well, this is good enough of the twilight for now. I will send you out. Then your next test will be for you." Adda said, and knocked him out again. He knew he was going to have to get used to this, wasn't he?

He woke up, and found Adda in front of him in the springs again.

"Now, get ready. We will have to find the thing that can make you a normal teenager again. Since you can't change back and fourth anytime you want." Adda told him. Davis sighed in relief. Knowing that this was over soon. That's what he thought, at least.

Davis woke up, and saw he was in the digital world once more. Adda was in front of him, and Davis knew his location right away. The springs he was at earlier.

"Now, you will be ready to turn back into your normal teenager self. But there is something that you must do in order for this to happen." Adda said, and Davis wondered what kind of crazy thing he had to do now.

"What is it that I need to do now?" Davis asked, while Adda was flying around him.

"You have to find sixteen red stones. All of them must be within a five mile radius of these springs. That is the only way the spring will accept them But these is a catch to it." Davis should have known there was a catch. There almost always was.

"What is the catch?" Davis asked annoyed. Not at Adda, but at this whole thing so far. Adda waved her finger around, showing him to calm down.

"These stones are hidden inside of bats that can only be seen with the vision of the twilight. Or else there will be no way you can notice them. But I can take care of a with my powers." Adda gave him the catch, but he calmed down a little when she said that she was going to take care of it herself. Made the pressure of what he was going to have to do a little bit relieved. Davis nodded, and smiled for what could be the first time since he met Adda.

"Well, I don't want to be in the body of a eight year old again. I've been eight for two years of my life. I don't need be it for a third year." Davis told her, and left the spring behind for the moment.

"Where do you think it would be best to find some of these bats?" Davis asked Adda, since it felt like she literally knew everything.

"Maybe try the village first. For some reason, I feel like you could find most, if not all of them there." Adda answered. For once, Davis would admit she outsmarted him. That answer should have been obvious, but he never even thought about it.

"To the village we go then." Davis replied, and they went over there. It was no problem, not even a noise. That part bothered him. He at least wanted some noise, so he wouldn't feel fully alone.

The village was very dark, and this didn't surprise him at all really. In fact, considering some of the stuff Adda has told him, he would be confused if it was currently light.

Nobody in the village saw Davis, but he seen them all. Not just in the normal way they are in the digital world, but in a whole new level of depth. They were light, like white, but sort of blue at the same time. In a weird way, he was able to see past them. See what was inside their bodies. Each one containing a different structure, it actually seemed interesting to him. Despite him thinking that human anatomy was in no way interesting.

Davis walked around the village, looking for something he wasn't able to see before, but could be seen now. With this new ability. Adda will fortunately be able to help him throughout most of this.

"I see some of the red bats. I think something told me in order to defeat these bats, all you need to do is touch them. Since they don't like the touch of humans." Adda told him, and showed him where three of the sixteen bats were. Davis went up to them very slowly. Worrying that although the villagers can't see him, they could hear something strange. Meaning hearing him.

He touched the first one. It blew up, and the first red stone flew to him. He ran to the second one, since it had started to run away, but he did reach the bat and made contact with it. That one blew up as well, and the second red stone flew to him. The third one tried flying away, but by mistake hit him while flying away. It also blew up the same way as the first two, and the third red stone flew to him. Now he has three of the sixteen stone.

"Now we only have thirteen left. Let's keep moving on." Adda said, and the two kept moving forward. They heard aloud them, as much as what they were seeing.

"Help me! A red giant bat is flying towards me. Plus there is this weird flying around the sky." This was what had yelled. Davis looked right up, and saw what the villager was fussing over. It was one of the black birds that was flying around in the area of the twilight. But how could they see it? When Adda had clearly stated that the digimon could not see things from the twilight? Or maybe they could just looked different than they are in reality. Davis looked at Adda, wondering if she could give him some advice on this matter.

"Adda, didn't you say that digimon could not see these things? Or are they just seen differently from their perspective?" Davis questioned, while approaching the black bird. Wondering how to get this one away.

"I thought that this was the case. Maybe something happened, and they could see these creatures, and possibly us now." Davis was humming under his breath. Not really even thinking about it at the moment. Then made some whistles. The black bird flew away, not wanting to hear his singing. Leaving them the bat. Another one flew towards them. Making it two now.

Davis thought of something. Then he tried something that he usually had never done. He jumped up, touched one. Maybe a giant lunge that was more than four feet, and his finger barely touched the other bat. They both blew up, and the fourth and fifth stones flew towards him. Now he had five of the stones, and needed eleven more.

"What had just happened?" The digimon just screaming asked itself. Davis looked at it, and saw the fishing digimon that helped Davis. What was it doing so late at night? Adda looked at Davis's face, unable to really read his face so well.

"Why are you staring at this digimon so much? It hasn't done anything. We need to get a move on. We still got eleven stones to find out." Adda tried telling him to move but he stood there. After a minute or so, he left the place and went back into the forest. Now he has to start taking the look seriously, since he has no clue where they could be.

"The forest is in a very broad place. We must keep our eyes open." Adda told Davis the obvious, and they started walking around. When they had been walking around for five, six minutes, they saw a very small clearing. One that any human, and possibly digimon would be able to go over the area without even noticing the area really. You would really have to look, and want to find every square inch of the area in order to possibly see this clearing.

"I see five of them. Maybe I could make a surprise for the, and take out all the other bats at once. Then we would have ten of the sixteen stones." Davis told Adda, and she nodded. They walked a small and almost unoticeable hill. Preparing to jump down, and hit them all at once. In three seconds after finding a good jumping place, Davis took the dive. Adda was watching from above, seeing if he would get them.

He succeeded, despite even Davis thinking it was a lost and stupid hope. All five blew up. The sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth stones all flew to him. No he had ten, and needed six more. Davis got up, feeling incredible pain for about ten seconds. He sighed, starting to feel better afterwards. Adda came towards him, and gave him a pat on the back.

"Nice job Davis. Have you ever done that before It was really cool to witness." Adda told him, impressed. Davis really had no good way of doing any of that, so he just kind of came up with that plan before he did it.

"To be quite honest, I had no clue it would work. I just kind of made it up, hoping that the plan would pull through. It did, and I'm actually impressed by myself." Davis responded honestly. His face turning a little red when he told her. They kept moving on, and Davis wondered if he should make any more conversation.

"So, what was your life like? Like really, what?' Davis asked Adda. Hoping she would tell him at least something. He waited, and nearly five minutes later, she answered

"Peaceful. That would be what I would say if I only had one word to answer. Father and mother, no siblings. I was good at school to. B average, but my parents loved me wither way. Truth is, a lot of people in the twilight are human spirits. Like I said, I was fourteen when Camoran took over, around seven years ago, but I would have been seventeen if I still lived. I used to have nice curly brown hair. Was five-foot three. About one-hundred twenty pounds. Six weeks before my death, I met this man. He was great, and we grew to know each other quite well during those six weeks. We would sit in the car at night, looking at the stars. Talk about school first then our family. Then about ourselves, and our deepest secrets. I felt like I was falling in love, despite my young age, or at least getting a solid friend to be with.I was going to tell him, but that was also the night I died. By a car crash, and my parents were devastated. Crying for nearly two months because of it. My spirit would watch every night, and I would feel sad over them to. Since I let my feelings over a man I knew for six weeks be more important than my life. My funeral only had twenty people in it. My parents, the man, and seventeen other people in that town just dropping by to pay respects. My grave stone said 'Adda Johnson. Born 1966. Died 1980.' I would every once in see the man I spent my last six weeks with. He has done well in life. Done with college, nice job, married. I wonder if it would be me if I made a different choice in general. I wonder how my parents would feel if I was still alive. I was dead for three years, before I was whisked away into the world of the Twilight. My home for seven years. Do you want to tell me more of your life and self? You have have a lot of information you can give me." Adda gave him just a small part of her history. He wanted to know more, but he felt he got all he could get from her at the moment, considering what he had just heard now. But he thought she deserved some info on him as well. That will be his style. He will tell her stuff on his history if she did first.

"Where do I even start? Davis sat down, debating himself what he should tell her now. "I was born eight years before the Civil War. I've fought in at least two wars on Earth, and even more in here. World Wars one and two. I've been married three times. First one was older, second was about my age, and the third was a good deal younger than me. I had four kids. First one I never around to raise until a later age, since I returned home nearly eight months after a trip, and my first wife was nowhere to be seen. A not said 'You've been gone nearly a year now. Forget it, we're through. I won't even left you help pay support for or help raise Patrick, your own son, who you didn't see get brought into life or would even care about. He doesn't deserve a terrible dad like you.' When I found out she was having a baby, I panicked and ran away. I only saw him on his birthdays. The mom died when he was eight, one year after my second marriage started. She and I were both in our thirties. Two years after we got married, we had a child. Her name was Patrica. Life was great, until our girl died of a illness at thirteen. My wife blamed me, and I didn't get why. Yes, I failed with Patrick because my wife didn't give me the chance, but I was with Patrica all the time, and gave all the love that I thought I could. I was always at her side. How was it my fault? Doesn't matter, she left. So two loves I messed up on. It took nineteen years to marry a third time. I met her at a college. We dated for eighteen months, and married. We had two kids, a boy and a girl. It was after my second wife left that I decided to be in Patrick's life more. We hung out many times over the years. After a decade, he finally admitted he was proud to have me as a dad. I introduced him to his wife when he was in his early fifties, and she was in her thirties, but they still got along well despite that. My third marriage lasted twenty-two years, until Pearl Harbor. My wife and two children died, and I joined the war. It wasn't until 1985, forty-four years later, I met this amazing girl named Yolei, that I remembered what love even was. She was only seven at the time, and turning thirteen in the next few weeks." Davis explained his love life to Adda, who was interested to learn every detail of Davis. Then he decided it was time to try to those other weird bat things.

"I think we should continue on our search. We've been talking a while, but we need to focus again." Davis told Adda, and they moved away from their original position, and moved on with the search. Adda was now happy to hear more about Davis. Because now she knew more about the companion she was going t have this entire journey.

"That was real nice of you to tell me about. It sounds like it's really hard for you to find a good break in your life. But don't worry, you will get something good. Just keep looking, and it will happen." Adda assured him. This led to a small smile from Davis.

They continued walking, until Adda saw some bushes. Something was flying around them. Wasps? No, must be something else. "Why don't you go check it out?" Adda asked him. "Maybe it might be some of the bats."

Davis decided to check it out, as Adda had suggested. When he got into close distance of them, Davis noticed that Adda was right on the spot. There were four of them, meaning that Davis would have two left after this.

Davis sang a old song that was very popular back then in the digital world. He told Adda the plan. It was making a trap. They were going to make net, and lure them all to the net. Then Davis would be able to just go up to it and take those ones out.

After making the trap, Davis started singing while heading towards the net. Once there, he kept humming the theme in a loop. All the four slowly went towards it. When each did, they got stuck there like paper on glue. Davis just tapped them each. All blowing up and giving him the weird stones.

As he had guessed, this left two that he now needed to get. Adda followed him almost by his side. She was giving some serious thought in that talk that they had. More about his piece, but a little bit on hers at the end. Maybe fourteen was too young to have felt those feelings from a while ago, and that was a reason she died. But still, hearing about Davis was pretty interesting. Finding out about the experiences of the love field he had been through. But she was thinking about the children. How each grew up. Him and Patrick had a stronger relationship over time. But that was all that she could easily get before she had to really start thinking hard about it all.

Davis glanced over at her for a moment. Trying to tell what she was thinking about. He was having almost no luck on it though. He dropped the subject in his head before too long. Seeing he had other important things to worry over. Such as finding the last of those two weird bats.

Where exactly could they be? Davis was thinking to himself as they continued walking down parts of the forest they haven't already. Adda was more worried about this with each step he took forward in the forest. She was worried that he might go out of the boundaries. Then anything after would not count towards the amount.

But Davis was smart, even with the lack of sight and vision. He was able to see to see the end of their limit. Then he did something weird. Started digging into the ground with his bare hands. He somehow knew the last two were in that area. They blew up, and he now had all sixteen.

Davis fell asleep once again. This was part of the process to make him look like his normal self again. Adda led him back to the spring, the proper place for the changing.

When he awoke again, he was surprised when he wasn't all wet at the bottom of his clothes. Davis got himself up and saw that he was back to his normal body. He even felt his entire body and appeal to make sure this was real.

Nice job. You got all your normal attributes again in case you didn't notice. Even in the body of a kid with a major lack of perception, you are one smart person. Now I want you to see somebody I know. The voice of the springs." Adda told him, trying to pat his back. But her ghostly hands just went through him. He was no longer in the body that allowed her to feel him.

That was when a voice started calling his name. They had more information that was needed to be given. "Davis, hear my call." The voice requested for him. Only then did he realize that this was the spring. He looked at the ever slight glowing water.

"As you might know, dark forces are starting to get into this world. But there is one effective way I found that can prevent this all from fully happening. It will require you and Adda to travel almost the entire digital world." The voice took a short break before it continued explaining. Adda walked a little closer to the center of the spring to make the hearing a little more clear.

"There are hidden shrines in this digital world you need to seek. One in each of the four continents. Each being dedicated to one of the springs. Inside each of the shrines there is a orb. These orbs represent the power that are in these springs. If you can get all four of them, you can be able to open the door the church of the gods. While this road maybe long it is the path we can take to solve this problem." There was something that came out of the springs and went over to Davis.

"That is the belt that can hold each of the orbs. Four slots, for the four orbs. I can't help you much beyond here, but when you receive the orb, you will be transported back to this place. Then I will give you basic directions on how to get to the other continents. Now I will leave you to do this quest." The voice of the spring said its final words and stopped talking. Adda looked at Davis, thinking of a good plan.

"I think we should get supplies for this journey. Let's try to go back to the village. Maybe some things can have changed in the last few hours. Or if someone can help on this quest." Davis suggested as he put the belt on. Then he slowly walked away from the spring. Adda was following behind him.

Davis was heading along his way back to the village he first visited. To check for any changes. Maybe even just simple advice. Adda wouldn't be seen on the trip inside the village since it was daytime, and the twilight hadn't fully hit the village yet.

"Maybe you should check out one of those houses you didn't go to the first time?" Adda suggested as they reached the long bridge to the village.

Davis walked across the bridge once again. This time his pacing being a tad faster. Since he had been through this before. It was something for him to welcome now.

On the other side, Davis tried looking for Adda. He was wanting to check up upon her for a moment. To see if she was fine most of all. He was surprised he himself could not see her at all. Perhaps this was one of the effects of daytime and her being. Still, he could hear her just fine.

Inside the village his second time around, more people were outside doing stuff now. Maybe it was one of those days. Or possibly them reacting to the night before. Davis decided to check this out with one of the random villagers.

He asked one of the villagers "Did you see or hear anything strange last night? I was here a little, and out again. I just came back to see if I missed anything." The other villager was quick to answer his question, as if much thought wasn't put into it.

"While I didn't see anything weird, something I noticed made me slightly worried. I noticed that last night five of the younger digimon here never returned. They left to play at the spring, and just went missing after that." The villager replied to the question, and left Davis a little cold. Just remembering those young kids kidnapped by all the boars that night prior. He didn't quite know how to reply, as he had witnessed it all. What he did was awful, but at least nobody suspect him of anything.

"I don't know anything about any missing children. If I find out about them, I will tell you and try to find them myself." It was awful because from a a point of view, he was lying. However, on another point of view he was telling the truth. He would find the kids and tell the villagers if he ever found them.

With that, he left the villager along again. He started focusing on examining some of the houses instead. When he found one he was sure he never visited, he walked on inside. Adda staying in his pocket for safety reasons of her own.

A man was laying on their couch, looking as if they were wounded of something recently. A woman was sitting on a chair next to them, tending to their wounds. Davis was curious about what it was all about, so he walked closer to the two. The woman looked up and saw him, but it did not react scared.

"If you don't mind me asking, would you mind telling me what your situation is and how it happened? I'm also curious to find out if either of you two noticed anything strange last night." The woman looked back and fourth between the man and Davis for a while before coming up with a response. She rubbed the hair of the man who looked like he might be getting worse since Davis came in.

"This man had been living here for a while. Saying that this place is destined to be in danger because it is so close to the spring. He also claims that weird monsters have been coming out at night lately. Some being from last night." The woman explained the situation but not the injury. Davis didn't do anything besides think about how about this was connected to the last events he dealt with.

"You do believe me boy? You know that this land is unsafe to be in. The springs are a sign of danger. Why does nobody ever trust in me? This injury should prove my point enough." The man grabbed Davis's arm. His own shaking wildly. If it weren't for the last night events, he honestly would have said no. But now he knew otherwise. Davis nodded slowly, and the man let go a little. He still wanted to hear Davis say the words though.

"Yes I do believe in you. Somethings just can't be trusted. We all know this. What holds to this saying the best out of anything is how the best looking things are almost always the misleading." Davis answered, perfectly understanding it. Even without the recent events, he would have still got it.

"Then stay here for a while. Let me tell you a myth. It could be true, but it also might not be. What you think must be your choice. I can't decide for you, nor anybody else for that matter." The man looked down at both Davis's pocket and to the woman. "Please make me something to drink. And young boy, do bring out the spirit in your pocket. She looks rather beautiful, sad she left life so soon."

Davis was letting his hand do the job, and he brought Adda out from his pocket. She turned into her normal spirit self, ready for the man to say something to her. The woman handed the man something to sip on. Then he started speaking. "That is one truly amazing looking spirit. Yes she is. But now that my audience is here, I will explain my myth now. The full version can be found in the rebuilding library of this continents capital.

"Long ago, when the digital world was still young and forming into what it would eventually be over a hundred thousand years before today, four main land masses were being developed. These being the main continents of this world. Server being the oldest and smallest, to Sapphire Islands being the youngest but largest. Yet, while those facts are agreed upon by all researchers here trying to learn of our worlds history, here is where the myth starts kicking in."

The man took a sip of the drink and started talking once more.. "These myths say that this worlds creator sent four spirits, or more like memories of important of important people down to this vastly developing world. We will call them the four lights. Each being a different color. Blue, red, green, and yellow last of all. Some such as myself believe these four lights are here to represent the four main elements on Earth. These contain as you know and I will list as what each shows. Water, fire, Earth, and air. Four continents for four elements, and this makes sense to it all. To all the story that will be told to you from this point forward. Four is a very vital number."

Adda was curious to find out how the man got this info. She doubted that anybody would stop her from speaking. "How did you learn about any of this? It seems like info that wouldn't be reachable normally. I spent all my time as a spirit wondering about this. For personal reasons on helping my friends from my world." Davis knew the last sentence was talking about the king, and she didn't want to bring up the resistance.

"I must have either spent more years searching, or I've found more of the right places to go. Again like I said, check the libraries in this continents capitol. I know the answer will b there somewhere. Although it is nice to see that a spirit like yourself has the interest in this kind of knowledge." The man answered Adda's question, having a smile that grew to half its normal size. Then he remembered the story he was telling.

He took another sip, and started telling the story further. "When they saw the four landmasses, they decided to split it all up. Each getting its own land. To show that the land was theirs, they built two things to show it. A spring and a shrine. Each spring having cravings the element is one thing. While the shrines have several things inside of it that adds on over its time and history. Getting deeper and richer, gaining the key important too much knowledge. This has been going on for almost all of the digital worlds history. But if you wish, I can go deeper into all of this for you."

He took another sip and short pause to give himself some breath before going more into it. "Recently, the eight gods of this digital world have been needing more protectors. Recently meaning that not as long as these springs or shrines. So to get more protection, they called upon the four lights of these elements. Upon the request being made, the lights built a church of the gods. On File Island, and it has the symbolism and tribute to each of these gods. Seeing as how the church was made by the lights, it was decided to be that the barrier between the church and the thing that was to be protected from them. These four orbs, each being the color of the element symbol. It was decided that these orbs were the only way that anybody could enter the scared area. But one problem occurred, what would be the best place to hide the orbs?" The man telling this story continued to take breaks, and then sighing. As if there was more to say but didn't remember it.

Adda looked closer at the man. "You must tell us where these orbs are hidden. Or at least where they are rumored to be hidden. This may be the key to what we need to do. Even if you just tell us one." Adda said, and the man looked down at a pack next to the couch. Going through the backpack, and pulling out a large piece of paper.

"I will draw a visual for you about the locations of the places that the shrines and therefore are rumored to be hidden." The man started drawing everything out, and after a few minutes was able to draw four small maps. One for each continent. "There you have it."

Davis and Adda checked it out for a moment, and then the man explained it. "There are four mini maps, one of each continent and they are fully mapped out. Within them I have a highlight for where each shrine is hidden. The color is supposed to represent the one you are at. The one we are in is the Diamond Lands, and this is where the green orb and shrine is believed to be hidden. So that is why this part is highlighted green." The man said, and then Davis got up and put the paper in his pocket. Adda went back into his pocket as well.

"I think that is all we need to hear. Thanks for the information. I won't bother you again unless if I feel like I have to." Davis told him, and he walked out of the house with Adda. Once outside, he checked the papers a little closer. "I looks like the shrine is hidden in a very deep part of the forest. I think we should just go there right now."

After Davis said that, he and Adda left the yard to head closer to the deepest part of the forest.

In a part of the forest, Davis and Adda found a closed shop house and a digimon outside of it. When Davis walked up to the digimon, he saw that it looked pretty sad. "What is wrong here?" He asked, and the digimon responded to him.

"This here was my shop. Due to poor service and digimon hardly coming here anymore, I decided to close it down. So now I'm just a digimon that struggles to make a living. If you give me one digital world dollar, I will have you a full bottle of lantern oil." The digimon said, and Davis looked in his pocket. Then he found some of the digital world money that he found in that house from when he first entered the place. He pulled out one, and handed it to the digimon.

"Here you go." Davis said, and then the digimon put a bottle in a pot of lantern oil, and handed it to Davis.

"This will be able to light your path in darkness for a little bit. Even without the lantern oil, you can still full up quite a bit in the bottle when it is empty. Thanks for the money. Let me tell you something about the area around here." The digimon said, and Davis started to listen to what the digimon was going to tell him.

"The swamp near this area has a strange building at the other side of it. But the swamp is always covered with mist. Nobody that has gone in there has ever gone out. People believe that the mist might be something responsible for killing humans. It is still your choice if you want to go there or not." The digimon said, and Davis didn't care if nobody came out alive or not. He needed to try to beat the swamp. But he did wonder if there was a easy to do it without having to risk himself and Adda.

"Thanks for telling me that. Do you think that this lantern might be able to help me get through the swamp easier?" Davis asked, and the digimon shook their head. Because they believed nothing was going to work for getting through the place.

Davis walked away from the digimon. Hoping that they wouldn't force him to turn back to them and give him some strange legend that would make him scared to reach the swamp.

When he was going around for a bit longer, he found some vines that looked like there was something hidden behind it. Adda was wondering what could possibly be behind to check out. If there was anything worth it or not.

"Why don't you try it out?" Adda asked, and Davis cleared the vines off of what it was hiding. He saw a carving of two digimon beings kissing each other. Davis assumed that a couple made it for memory of them being together. Then Davis heard a calling for him. He turned around, and saw a red image in front of him. Adda was wondering what it could have been, so she was up for the idea of him seeing it.

Davis walked closer to the red image and it started fading away when it sucked him in. Adda followed him, and they were taken to a different place at that very moment.

When Davis opened his eyes, he saw a human being looking guy. But it looked dead, and something scared Davis even more. It looked like how he did in the past. Like how he did in the early stages of the digital worlds history. Like when it was being first made.

"The gods of the digital world have chosen you as a hero to save the digital world from the twilight. But as you are now, you will not be able to stand a chance against any of the greats forces that you need to destroy and face. So they sent older bodies of yourself to learn of former moves that you had known that you might have forgotten about. I am at your earliest stage of your digital world self. When you first made this world. Try to listen to what I will show you and try to see it good." The older dead body of Davis said, and the they raised a large sword to fight him with. One even larger than Davis had ever used in a battle before. So it made no sense. Because this was in a former body of his, so why would he have a weapon he was sure he had never used.

The dead looking Davis told him to pay attention again. "Look at how I am going to grip this and maybe that will give you something new to consider." It said, and then Davis paid closer attention to what it was going to do.

It put its left hand at the top part of the hilt, and the right hand on the lower part of the hilt. Which was how Davis did in the past. But he stopped doing it and went the opposite direction if he gripped one. Sometimes he usually only gripped a sword with one hand. There was a problem, Davis didn't have a blade or any sort of weapon. So this lesson was going to be useless in a lot of senses. Adda showed herself again, and handed Davis something.

"It's small, but it will keep you good enough. Remember, this is a older version of you. You are newer and improved. You will do a better job than the dead counter part of you." Adda told him, and then Davis nodded. He knew that Adda should have been right. But Davis wasn't so sure about what Adda told him. Then Davis looked down to see what the item was. It looked like a small black knife with a black hilt. He felt that he seen this sort of thing before, like in books or plays before. "Where did you get this?" Davis asked interested, and Adda happily answered.

"I just found it one day in the land of the twilight. I usually know that these are weapons that can be found in stores of that land." Adda told him, and then Davis nodded. He didn't want to argue with her or anything. So he grabbed it harder doing it the way that the dead looking Davis did. With the left hand on the upper part of the hilt, and the right hand on the lower part of the hilt. "Just good luck."

"This is a act of disarming. An act that will be important for the quest that you have. Most will need to take years to do this. But due to your prior experience, it will only need to take a few tries to finish it correctly." The dead looking Davis said, and then started getting closer to Davis. He as getting more scared of facing a older and possibly stronger version of himself. Then he raised his knife that Adda handed him a little bit. The dead looking Davis put his arm under the hand that Davis had the knife in and twisted it a little bit. To the point that Davis had to drop the knife, and he held his hand a little bit. Feeling a small amount of pain. But not enough to want him to stop.

"How did you do that?" Davis asked, and the dead looking Davis explained the thing to him a little bit. Stopping what it was going to do next. Because they would have to explain everything if they had to for Davis to be ready on all the things he would have to face in the future.

"You would sort of have to find a moment when the opponent isn't paying attention and then you get under their arm and twist it enough to the point that they have no choice to drop it. I can't let you leave until you do this. But I will not let you be able to do it easily and you will need to put in effort to do it." The dead looking Davis said, and then the real Davis nodded.

"I think I get it a little bit." Davis replied, and was ready to do it then. The dead looking Davis jumped at him, and Davis rolled down under and went to the back side of the dead looking one. The dead looking Davis raised the giant sword up, and then the real Davis tried grabbing a hold of one of their arms. Which sort of failed. So he fell down. He got himself up, and ran away a little bit. He wasn't worried about attacking it. Because the dead looking Davis even said that this lesson was more for the way of disarming it.

When the dead looking Davis was about to defeat him and started to get their looks excited and ego a tiny bit up, Davis grabbed one of his arms. Then got the other one. Having a hard time twisting it, but he was able to do it and have the dead looking Davis drop it. With its blade on the ground, the real Davis had won this little thing.

"I might be pleased about you winning this with only a couple tries, but I will keep what I said honest. You can go now into the digital world. We will meet again my living counter part. Even if you might not look like you are a worthy successor of me, you will be someday in the future." The dead looking Davis told the real one, and then there was a small black out.

When he was back to what was really going on, Adda nodded confused by most of what happened. "That was interesting although I don't quite get all of it. Maybe if I knew how you were back then it might make some more sense." Adda said, and then Davis was thinking a little bit. Maybe there were some other things to do. "Maybe we can use a faster use of transportation. Like a horse or something." Adda told him, and Davis groaned. He didn't really like going on horses. Given that a couple times when he tried riding a horse before, but both times it failed miserably. Usually with him falling off the horse, and he would have the horse run away from him afterwards. He hated it.

"I'm not really that good at horse riding. But I think that you are right. It will be faster to be going that way." Davis replied, but he sat down. Not helping but to think if they should do it before trying to go through the swamp and shrine, or be doing it afterwards.

"I agree that perhaps we should do it. I just wonder when we should do it. I think we should do it either do it now or wait until he go through the swamp and shrine before we try and find a horse for us to use." Davis said, and then Adda herself decided to start thinking about that.

"I think that we should do it before we go off and attempt to be the beat and go through the shrine." Adda suggested, and Davis thought about it for a second. He decided that maybe they should do it that way.

"Yeah perhaps you're right. Let's just head out now. I think maybe that ranch from the village we visited several times now will have a horse that the owner would let us borrow." Davis said, and then Adda got up, went back in his pocket, and let him lead the way to the ranch he was talking about. "Yesterday the owner lost all their bulls, and I had to bring them all back. I know that they aren't lacking on bulls. However, that's not what we really want either." Davis was telling her, and she was listening to him but also thinking of what could possibly be in the shrine and how much they would have to work on getting the orb.

At the village, Davis was going all the way to the ranch. Once he reached the ranch, he walked up to the owner. "Hello, remember me from yesterday?" Davis asked, and then the man looked at him confused for a moment. Then after a bit, he nodded noticing what Davis was.

"Yes I remember you now. What do you want to do with me now?" The man asked, and Davis got himself ready to ask if they had anything that him and Adda could possibly need.

"I was thinking, do you have any horses that I could use?" Davis asked, and then the man digimon looked at him confused for a moment. Then nodding, thinking that they did have a horse for them to use.

"How about we show you to one of the horses that we have for sell." The man digimon said, and led Davis all the way to the part of the ranch that the horses were in. "This is the place that our horses are at. Check them all and see which one you like best." The man digimon said, scratching their fat belly while Davis started checking them. He didn't want to go with the fastest one. Or the smallest one, but for something else. Adda was looking interested at what he would pick through the pocket of his. Davis made his choice, and pointed at it. The fat man digimon saw which one he picked.

"Oh look at that. You're picking the old one. What would make you choose that one?" The fat man digimon gave him a interested and confused look on their face. Davis nodded, knowing that this was the one that he wanted to pick. Just something about it reminded him of himself.

"It just feels right. You know those times when you do something or feel something and it feels right and you just have to do it. So what do you say? How about ten bucks for it?" Davis told the fat man digimon, and it sighed. Being tired. Davis was already getting out ten bucks to pay for the horse.

"How about twenty?" The fat man digimon said, and then Davis pulled out fifteen. Half way between the two. So they could meet in between.

"Fifteen bucks you said?" Davis asked, pretending like he didn't hear the twenty. The fat man digimon nodded because it truly did already forget what it was saying.

"Okay, I guess the horse's yours now." The fat man digimon said, and opened up the gate. Then Davis got the horse out and thanks the fat man digimon. With the horse, it left the ranch and Adda didn't really know what to say. Not that she didn't approve of it. Just was confused by it. That was it.

Once outside the village, Adda got back out. "I guess we were getting closer to being ready. I don't really know how much more we can get here and now. Maybe later when we look for the second orb, we can look for more things we can use." Adda told Davis, and he agreed silently.

"We should still head out now. So we can be closer to getting at least to the swamps and getting to the shrine and getting the orb" Davis said, and they headed down the road with the horse. Thinking of what else they could do first, if anything.

Davis didn't know what exactly to say to Adda as they were heading to the swamps. "Let's say we get this orb, and we defeat this great lord you are talking about. Now that we got that picture in our head, what do you plan on doing after that? Do you have any great plans of healing, or is your goal really just to get these orbs and defeat this thing?" Davis asked the question that had been on his mind for a while. Adda was silent for a little while, and then said something under her breath.

"There are no plans. Just this victory that we need." Adda said, and that didn't Davis feel better at all. In fact, in some cases, it made him even more annoyed. Why is it that when he wants answers in something, anything at all, he doesn't get the answers. It is so annoying.

"Okay that's nice. But do you think that we will ever see each other again?" Davis asked, and then Adda was stuck on that for a little while. She really didn't know if they would ever meet again or not.

"I guess that all really depends on the turn out." Adda responded, and Davis nodded slowly. Not sure if he really liked the response or not though. He been doing this stuff long enough to know though that this was the best answer he was going to get. That also annoyed him a lot of the time, when you get a answer after all and it is the least helpful you could possibly get. And you know that you won't get a better answer.

"Yeah sure. I guess you're right about that." He said, and knew that she was right at the same time. It really did depend on the turnout and how he is able to handle himself. This felt very video game worthy. "Guess we should go on though." They kept walking but it took a while to make any decent progress on getting through the swamps and reaching the Shrine. The mist gets worse with the more progression you would get in it.

Davis was getting tired because it felt like he was doing all this journeying without any break like at all. He honestly felt like he had been going on for almost two days without sleep. Or at least one whole day.

Adda saw that he was thinking of something like this when she saw his expression. She has barely known this guy, and she felt like she known all the details of the guy. "Sorry for giving you no break. But somethings got to get done first. I will say after we do this shrine stuff then we can take a break if you want." Adda said, and Davis nodded. He knew it wasn't true. But he still felt better hearing it.

Soon, they were half way through the swamp. It required a lot of running on top of rocks and climbing trees to get off of the poisoned water. He wouldn't want to get hurt in the most painful way possible.

Davis almost fell in that water several times until sooner or later they did sort of get close to the entrance of the shrine. He had to wave around that lantern around several times to get rid of the mist that was in his way of getting to the end.

At the end of the swamp, he reached the entrance of the shrine. "Finally. Let's get inside and see what is inside." Adda said, and Davis noticed that the shrine looked like it was in a tree. One that was near dead, but still interesting place to hide something super important.

Davis walked on in, and Adda went back in his pocket so she wouldn't be getting lost or entirely distracting him. Inside, he saw that the place did not stop going up entire the top of the tree and would go under quite a bit. Davis slowly crepped up to the center of the tree room and saw that he was standing directly above some webs. Spider webs.

"Okay Davis, I feel that something that we need is going to be under this spider web. If only we had something that could destroy it. Such as some flames." Adda told him, and Davis knew she was right.

"Let me wander around a little bit." Davis replied, and checked around. Until we found a wall of the tree that had the vines of it. Davis grabbed the vines to be sure that this wouldn't sure him grabbing onto it. He didn't get any bit of pain from it, and he forced his grip on it. Adda saw him do it for a moment, and looked impressed at how much stuff this guy knew how to do if you would give him enough time alone.

Davis climbed up the entire vines. When he reached the top, he waited for Adda to get up to him. "So far this shrine isn't so bad. It would just require me getting a giant work out. But I guess I need it for getting ready for soccer next year." He told her, and Adda soon met up with him.

"You play soccer?" Adda asked, and Davis nodded. "I didn't know that you did. I knew a bit about you, but not that." Adda responded, and he kept walking wondering if there would be any more of these types of vines he could climb up.

"I feel that these vines can be rather useful on getting up these tree parts." Davis made the assumption in his mind be public. Adda didn't really know to agree or not on this idea. So that was why she was going to let him try to do it.

When he found a second one, he saw a spider on one of the vines. "Great, if there's one thing I hate, it's spiders." He said, and then Adda looked at him. In a really sort of way. "Yes Adda. I hate spiders, deal with it." Davis told her, and started to think of a way to get rid of it before he would try to find a way to climb the vines.

With him kicking the ground around, he saw a giant nut on the ground. He picked it up, and threw it up in the air a little bit. With no goal place, just doing it. So he could think a little with a toy to play.

The spider was hit and fell down before it blew up. Davis shrugged, liking how easy it was and was glad he could get further.

He started climbing the vines and Adda went inside his pocket for him to do easier climbing. It was actually really hard to climb up all that, but when he did his face was a tad red.

"Why does climbing have to do so dang hard?" Davis asked, and Adda patted his back. He didn't pay attention for a moment or two, but looked over after about three tries. He was a tad annoyed, but he did his best not to show it.

"I see a door right there. I wonder if it will lead somewhere that will be important for us." Davis opened his eyes a little bit more, seeing Adda was speaking the truth.

"What would be inside of there?" Davis said curious, and went closer to the door. At the door, he put his head to the door so he could see if something was waiting for him. "I hear nothing."

He opened the door and walked on inside. There was no noise for a little while until he walked on to the center of the room. Then he heard what sounded like crawling. Davis looked up and saw that it was a spider that was really large crawling on the ceiling.

The spider started crawling down the wall. Davis and Adda looked scared. Well mainly Davis. He went to the other side of the room.

Adda tapped his shoulder. "Remember the slingshot that the old digimon lady gave you a while back?" Davis remembered the moment she brought it up.

He started looking in his pocket and found the exact same slingshot that he was given when he came into the digital world. But there were no seeds or pellets that he could shoot with.

The spider was right in front of him, looking like it was ready to lick him. Maybe by good chance there would be poison driven to him. Davis looked down on the ground and found one seed almost directly next to the spider.

Adda went above the spider to distract it a little from Davis trying to get the seed.

Davis took his chance and ran right next to the spider and had to crawl under one of the spider legs. He was scared to do it because he hated spiders as he said earlier. At the seed, he forced his arm out and grabbed it.

With the seed in his hand, he ran away from the spider and put the seed so it was ready for him to shot at the spider. He aimed the slingshot right at the back and fired. Nearly leaving a small crack on the back. Davis had a idea that the bigger he made the crack the easier it would be to destroy.

Now he was just using random rocks he found on the ground and with each hit made the crack a tad bigger. Until it got so big that he could attack it by himself.

Davis climbed up to the top of the spider and held his fist up so he could shove it in the spider. Adda sucked herself in his fist, which made it more powerful as he punched the spider in the crack. With the double power, the spider started falling down and nearly exploded. Adda left out of his hand and he made one final punch to destroy it fully.

With the explosion, something new was on the ground. It was some pellets for the slingshot. "We need these I know." He put the pellets back in his pocket as he and Adda headed out of the room this happened in.

The two started walking around to seeing another room that they could go into. It didn't have a entrance on it, which bothered both Davis and Adda. However, they both felt that perhaps that this room was important to go to on seeing what was inside. So they walked on in.

When they were inside the room one more spider came down to see them. Adda told something to Davis as she knew what type of spider it was. "Don't show any emotion. It will take your face and impersonate you forever if you show any type of emotions. Just be bland with your delivery."

Davis nodded as the spider came down. "What is it that you want? Are you seeking a sovereign? I feel like I can picture how you feel and think." Davis replied without making any sort of emotion.

"I am seeking the orb that is at the end of this shrine. What do you say to the idea?" The spider checked him out as if they had a test already.

"I will help you on your way to finding the orb in this shrine. If you can answer my two questions with absolute honesty. I don't need your emotions, I can feel it in your mind if you are or not." Davis hated this stuff, but he still didn't make any sort of reaction that would indicate this as he still remembered what Adda told him.

"First is what is your quest and why do you need the orb? It is two questions but it counts as one as it is in one sentence." The spider made their first question, to which Davis made a basic reply that told the truth.

"I am on a quest that may involve saving this digital world from a force I will not name. Their power is strong as of yet and if I try to face them alone I will not be able to as I am weak. With this orb I can get some power that will help me on this quest." Davis thought to himself how much this sounded like a video game but he didn't honestly care.

"I guess that is a good enough answer now it is time for my second question. Are you in love?" This question was harder for him to answer. He was but didn't quite know how to explain the way he felt it.

"I am and the words to describe it are hard for me to find. She is somebody who attends school with me and I am not quite sure if I ever felt the same way to anybody else that I have for her. Even out of all the people I married back several decades ago." Davis told them, and the spider didn't make any reactions for a good bit. Davis knew he was telling the truth, he just hoped that the spider would accept it.

"I believe that you are being sincere. I will let you have some help some me. Follow me a little bit and I have something that may be of use.

The spider led Davis and Adda a little bit all the way to the other side of the room. Then picked something up, and handed it to them. Davis saw that it was a bag. "It is the bag that can keep the pellets in one place so you wouldn't lose them." Davis was about to smile, then he remembered what Adda said to them.

As Davis and Adda were about to leave the room the spider called them. "You must forget the past. It can hurt you." Davis looked back at the spider, not quite getting it.

"Alright." He said, and he headed out with Adda. Then he started to think about it, and was starting to sort of get it.

"Adda I think I figured out what the spider meant when they said that I must forget the past." Adda looked at him interested.

"I think it is because recently I started writing in a journal about my life. At the start my mother died and I have been thinking about that for a while. I think they mean I shouldn't let that bother me too bad anymore and forget it. I don't know if I can though. It's been one of the closest I have been to seeing her aside from when I saw her ghost once."

Adda didn't really know how to reply with that. "Perhaps you are right. We should worry about making progress on getting through the shrine first." Davis agreed, and they continued searching for the place in the shrine that might have the green orb in it. Or least Davis had a idea it was the green one due to their setting.

When they walked on for a little bit they found a place with a fire. Davis also saw a stick next to it. Maybe it can help them. Then Davis remembered the spider web on the entrance floor.

He put the stick up to the torch, and put it near his chest. "Adda, come to my pocket. I hope you don't mind giant jumps." He told his companion, and she went inside his pocket. Then he jumped all the way down to the spider web burning it while he touched it. He screamed a little bit while falling. It was accelerating to say at the least. If you didn't mind large jumps that is.

Once the two were getting near the bottom their fall would take them, they made a large splash in the water. Causing all the area around them to get very wet. Davis got out of the water and got to a land area. He sighed in relief. He felt like a dare devil when he did stuff like this. He was surprised he wasn't dead already. Sort of a miracle if you asked him.

"How do you do this?" Adda asked sincerely, and Davis shook his head. He didn't quite get it either, and he really wanted his clothes to be dried. That would probably have to wait for later though.

"I don't know. Just makes me feel like I escape death at every turn. Like those people in the movies." Davis replied, and with that they kept walking. He was wondering how much longer it was going to have to take to reach the room with the orb in it. He was starting to feel off about being in a tree for this long.

He found a door that was covered with vines. Yeah because that was so helpful. Davis had to spend a long time tearing the vines off and Adda was singing some song lyrics while he was doing so to make them both feel like they are suffering less. Sort of works out sometimes. After what literally seemed like days he got most of the vines out of the way.

"That took like eons." Adda snickered a joke at Davis. He made a tiny laugh that was like a you got me this time. She did sometime in return and pushed the door aside for Davis. "Now we are even."

Davis was starting to respect this Adda spirit. Yeah sure they barely knew each other and they were sort of forced to work together. But it seemed he got more bonding out of this ghost in a matter of hours than he did some people in his class over all the years of school. It kind of made him sad thinking about it.

They walked through the door and on the other side saw a few empty holes. Neither one of them quite got it. Were they supposed to be plants there? Who knows now. Davis kept walking forward and things jumped out of all three holes. Adda instead went back a little bit. Being smart so she wouldn't get hit by all the things that they were starting to throw at Davis.

Even Davis wasn't handling it well at all. He fell down on the ground for a moment just so he could avoid some of the stuff being thrown at him. What were they seeds for their plant? Wow this places has a lot of seeds then.

"Jesus." Davis muttered under his breath as he shot some of the things with the slingshot. He had no clue if this stuff would work or not but it was the only thing he got. So it had to work. He and Adda were doing this their whole way to the other side of the room so they could see what was there.

"Oh my god. That was torture." Adda told him when they got out. Davis nodded. Who know plants could be so deadly. He was kidding though, as he was no stranger to the digital world and the digimon inside of it.

On the other side he was a big sort of grey pushing block. He didn't quite get why it was there. Or if he could push something that heavy. Still wasn't going to stop him from trying. He went up to the block, and pressed with all his might. It budged a little bit and Adda watched as he tried. She added in some force and with the two together they were able to move it. It took quite a few feet for it to reach the area it needed to. When it did another door a few feet away from them opened up. Sort of like a video game.

Davis went on over to the door as Adda went back into his pocket. He opened the door and walked inside to see what laid ahead.

There was another large spider web. If only Davis had the torch that he used. Instead he had to rip apart the web a little bit at a time. Which he found to be very gross. It took a really long time because Adda was staring at half horror at something down below. Davis didn't really care about that until he got rid of the spider web. "Davis, look below."

Davis listened to Adda and saw something that had a reflection of a shadow walking around the bottom. Davis had no idea what it was but the shadow did make him feel a little uneasy to say the least. "We'll have to jump all the way down the way I did so we could reach the bottom."

He did just that. As he started jumping down Adda went back in his pocket and he took something that looked like a leap of faith. When he reached the bottom it didn't look much better. In fact it may have looked a little worse than it did before. Then he heard a loud stomping noise that made both Davis and Adda sure that they were not alone here.

They turned around and saw it. Quite possibly the only ShogunmonGekomon that actually exercised. It started stomping to them at really fast rates. It scared Davis for a split second. He forced himself to run off to the sides.

He knew he had to think of a way to beat this thing before it beat him. Well that part was sort of obvious. But how was he going to beat a thousand pound digimon jumping around and stomping when he had seeds and pullets for a slingshot. He was almost screwed. But he knew that he had to think outside of the box.

He ran to the other side of the room just barely avoiding ShogunGekomon when it came at him. Adda was trying to get his attention and he had to stop to listen to what she was going to tell him. "Try the slingshot." Davis couldn't believe he didn't think of that earlier. He took it out and aimed it a little it. Adda also told him that the chest is probably the best spot. As it has a large X mark on it.

Davis fired, and ran off to the side as it got hit and started running to Davis and Adda. It started using a attack on them that took up a large amount of the room space. "Musical Fist!" Davis ducked down and Adda went above him and the attack. The wall parts started falling apart a little bit and made the room even harder to go around. Making Davis escape these attacks even harder.

He went to a corner of the room and fired another pellet at the ShogunGekomon on the chest. It looked like it got hurt a bit more and they started running at Davis doing more Musical Fist.

They ran right into the corner as Davis got out of the way. It nearly destroyed the slingshot Davis had and made it harder for him to use it. He tried aiming it once again but it was harder to do so this time around. So instead he put three pellets in there to ensure that at least one would hit the chest. When they did, ShogunGekmon screamed and fell down. Then started turning lighter again. Davis realized that it was going to its correct color.

The room started going lighter and the ShogunGekomon got up. "Did you do that to me?" Davis nodded, and Adda came next to him. "What are you doing here?"

"I am looking for the green orb in this shrine." Davis responded, and the ShogunGekomon understood it. Then showed the two a room not too far from where they were.

"It is in there. I have no use for it so why don't you take it?" ShogunGekomon said, and Davis nodded. Glad that it was easy to work with after that moment. He thanked it and he went into that room Adda next to him.

In the room it was just a small green hallway. On the other side was the green orb. Davis picked it up, and Adda smiled. "You got one of the four. If you thought that one was easy it will only get harder from here. I can ensure it." Then there was a glowing light and the two were taken out of the room.

They were back at the springs that they had met in at the start. Instead something was there. It was a turtle like digimon. It also had something that looked like a huge tree on its back and four legs each with three toes. The digimon also had two faces with some weird balls around its body. Davis didn't get that part. But this wasn't surprising considering what he had to deal with in these journeys.

"You have gathered one of the four things you need. The one for me. I am glad and I can give you some nice words. My name is Ebonwumon the oldest of the four Digimon Sovereign and the one of the north. What do you two need from me. I will tell you that with the green orb you can contact me as long as you are in a spring or a place for us such as a shrine." The creature introduced themselves, and Davis knew what they meant by their name.

"You are the black tortoise of the north." Davis said, and the Sovereign was impressed with his guessing.

"Yes young one. I have three digimon that have the same power sets as me. I have something that may be useful for your quest. But first I need to get into your mind. Both of you. So I can know more about the two of you." The Sovereign explained a little bit and started singing a quite beautiful tune. Davis saw a image of his past replaying in his mind. It was a flashback to be exact.

One day Davis was playing out at a practice field for soccer. Davis could tell by his looks that this was the year prior, sixth grade. He was getting ready for one of the games. While he made a goal for his practice, he was going to use the bathroom. At the entrance, somebody called his attention and he turned around to see who it was.

"Hello. What are you doing here?" Davis asked. He knew who it was. It was this guy named Allen. He loved to make his life miserable this school year for no reason. Just for the fun of it.

"To put your head in the toilet. You know somebody like you would love that." He replied, and Davis kept his calm. He had been through worse. Far worse.

The man was grabbing Davis, and Davis was fighting back by punching him and kicking him. It wasn't very useful as they were very close to the toilet in a matter of a minute or two.

Then Davis heard a voice that made him get hot inside. He loved this voice and could figure it out easily. They both looked over to see Yolei. She started walking on towards the two of them.

"Let him go. He didn't do anything to you." She said, and Davis blushed. Her presence nearly made up for the fact that he was getting beat up.

"You don't know that." The Allen guy said and Yolei gave them a annoyed look. Like they had went through this several times this school year and she was getting tired of this.

"Yes I do. He was at practice. And you decided to beat him up so he wouldn't want to do practice after that. I am used to this." She put her hand on Allen's shoulder. "I won't help you with our Pre-Algebra work this week if you don't let him go."

Then Allen put Davis down, Davis was on the ground on his knees. He was holding his neck as if he was nearly choked. Allen walked away with no words.

"Sorry you have to do this so often Yolei." Davis said as she got him up. Davis blushed madly while she was holding him.

"You're welcome Davis. I still believe you are a friend. Even if T.K. has made us divided up a little bit." She told him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Davis had his face turn hot red.

"Yolei I have something to tell you. I really..." Yolei cut him off there.

"Davis can we save it for later." She told him, and then walked away. "I have to go back home." When she left him alone, he was sad again. He had almost wished then that Allen would come back then to beat him up more then. Would make him feel better than he did then. He went back to the soccer field.

Davis was going to tell her that he liked her and wanted to date her. Or be friends again. But then he remembered what she said. She still considered him her friend despite the way he treated her over the months. That made a little happier.

Davis was taken out of this memory as Adda and Ebonwumon were looking at him. "I knew you mentioned her earlier, but I didn't know you felt that way." Adda said, and Davis looked down saddened.

"This makes me know so much more about you than you think." Ebonwumon told Davis. "Very interesting. Will you ever tell her? Adda now it is your turn. I want to see something of your past." So that started a second flashback, but this one for Adda.

Adda when she was alive was out at a park one day and she was with a gut who looked to be around her age. "Adda come on we need to get to the candy store soon." Adda laughed as she looked at him smiling and as if he was about to laugh with her.

"You're so much fun." Adda told him, and followed him once again. They continued running until they reached the candy store. There was nobody there, and the man looked at Adda.

"What do you want?" Adda pointed at the candy that looked pink and blue mixture.

"That one Calvin. I will give you a little present if you do." The guy, who name must have been Calvin nodded and got that candy for her and paid. They left the candy store and continued walking until they were getting near a desolate part of the town.

"What is the little present?" Calvin asked, and Adda laughed as if she wanted him to wait just a little bit longer.

"Just half a minute." She took something out of her pocket and it was a coin. A very clean one, and one that looked like it could have been good as new.

"Thanks." Calvin told her as she handed him the coin.

"Don't sell it or get rid of it. It will give you bad luck." She told him as she wrapped her arms around Calvin's neck. They kissed for a little bit and Adda left him to go back to her home.

At her house it was way past her curfew. "What were you doing?" Her mother asked as she walked in and saw Adda was about to fall asleep. She decided not to ask her until she woke up later.

The flashback ended as Davis saw Adda crying. He tried to wrap his arms around her in a supportive way. But couldn't as she was a ghost. "Why did it have to be that one? Out of all my memories I had to see it had to be the one were I begin feeling I was falling for him. This was responsible for my death. Ebonwumon even looked sad over what she was saying.

"I am so sorry for you my lady. I should have known that this one was bad for you. Can you forgive me?" Ebonwumon told her as the place went black for a moment. When it was light again they saw a new being was there.

He had a steel helmet with a odd tongue. He was decently tall and had weird fingers. His clothes were nearly all black or grey but most of it was steel. Adda knew who he was though.

"What are you doing here Camoran?" Adda asked, and Camoran looked down at her.

"Because I need you. You can join me and you can live. I will even let your male friend live here as you have grown close to him lately." Camoran told her and he was able to hug her unlike Davis despite only one try. He put his real tongue on her and tried acting as seductive as possible so she would say yes.

"I will not join you. I know too much about what you have done for me to even consider it. How about you never even consider this again. This man over here will be there for me longer than you ever will." Adda told him, and Camoran let go of her.

"I guess I can't convince you quite yet. I will be back though. Maybe you will reconsider and maybe you will leave this stupid human alone." Camoran vanished and that dampened the mood of all three of them there. Even Ebonwumon. But this gave Ebonwumon a new idea for them.

"I have a suggestion. Davis, what good can a hero be without a digimon partner. There is a small cave behind me and there are three eggs. You may choose one and a digimon partner will be there for you. This doesn't mean that you can't do anything without it. As you will still have to do much things by yourself. This partner if just for helping you." Ebonwumon told him, and the started fading away. "Remember you can contact me under the places I said you can." With that, Ebonwumon went back into the green orb. Davis understood that as long as he had this orb, part of there power will be with them.

Davis and Adda went around to find the entrance of the cave. The two walked on in and walked to the end of it. Sort of like the shrine with the orb. Three eggs were there as Ebonwumon had told him. One yellow, one purple with silver over it, and one red. He saw three symbols on it. One for knowledge, one for love, and one for courage.

He had a feeling that he should choose the one that he felt he had the least of. So he thought of it. He was pretty knowledgeable given how much stuff he had to do. He had known love before and now. He felt he could improve on courage though. As he felt it could serve him a long way in what would have to do. He picked the red egg and the other two instantly flew away out of the cave.

Light came from the egg and a few seconds later a new digimon appeared in front of him. It was blue with a white chest and a yellow V on their neck.

"Hello what may your name be?" It asked, and Davis held out his hand. Glad that after several years he would finally have a partner of his own. Sounds weird to say that now.

"My name is Davis. What is your name?" He asked with a smile on his face. The digimon took his hand. Adda looked at this happy that there was now a third member of this group to save the two worlds.

"My name is Veemon. You picked me over the other two and we are now partners. What are we going to do now?" Then Davis's digivice showed up in front of him. It was navy blue and looked a bit different from the ones that Tai and the others had. Not that he would know that.

"Let's just spend some time wandering around. We earned it for now. Maybe we can find a digimon that can take us to another major land place while we do so." Adda suggested, and the three looked outside. Ready for whatever was going to come their way.
