The Digital Zodiac

"Izzy, have you got the gate open?" T.K. asked as their partners came to greet them.

"Just got it open, though the way it happened was very strange..."

"Strange nothing! Weird things happened to us today too!" Davis said. This caught Izzy's interest.

"What weird things?" he asked.

"Well, when I was coming to school today, there were these little girls baying ball, and then the ball rolled into the road. One of the girls went after it as a car was coming; I knew I didn't have time to digivolve DemiV-mon, so I saved her myself. But, the thing is, when I got her out of the way, I felt like I had flown instead of tumbled."

"And today, in the cafeteria," Yolei continued, "I just got this weird feeling that something bad was about to happen, and then Cody slipped on a banana peel." The DigiDestined of Knowledge and Reliability nodded.

"When I slipped, I somehow managed to right myself and catch my tray." he said.

"And when I went to feed the digimon during lunch, Akane and his gang cornered me outside the room." T.K. said, "They attacked me, but I didn't get hurt or pant in the slightest."

"So that's what made the all noise we heard earlier." Gatomon said and T.K. nodded.

"Combine that with what just happened to me and it seems that all of us have had something strange happen today. And none of this has happened to any of you before?" The four shook their heads.

"Do you think other strange things happened to the rest of the DigiDestined?" Minomon asked.

"Maybe. We can ask Kari, since she should be here soon." Cody said, "She had gymnastics practice."

"An are you sure you're okay, T.K.?" Patamon questioned. T.K. smiled, pulling the little digimon off his head and into his arms.

"I'm sure, Pata. By the way, Izzy, what strange thing happened to you?"

"I was trying to open the gate when, suddenly, a spark leapt from my fingers and into the computer. It didn't damage it, but it did open the gate." Izzy explained.

"All of us saw it, too, so we know he's not lying!" DemiV-mon said.

"Hey guys!" Kari called. She was coming down the hallway with Ken, Tai, Mimi, and Sora. Out of all of them, Sora looked the least tired; in fact, she didn't look tired at all.

"You guys won't believe what happened to us!" Mimi said, "Tai managed to get the balls out from under the ball-eating bleachers at the high school, Sora was best at practice today, but she isn't even tired! Kari was extremely agile in gymnastics and I got into the talent show! Though, my voice was a bit louder than usual."

"As for me, there was this underclassman who came to me for advice, but didn't ask for a second opinion. Usually a second opinion would be good for what he asked, but he didn't ask for one. It was strange." Ken said, "Has anything strange happened to you guys?"

"Quite a bit!" They took turns relaying what had happened to them, and when finished, Poromon asked, "Where are Matt and Joe?"

"Matt's probably finishing up band practice and Joe's running here from medical school, I bet." Tai said.

"More like poofing in front of the school." came a voice from behind him, which turned out to be Matt's, as he and Joe were walking towards the room.

"What do you mean by that?" Sora asked.

"Well, while I was walking here, I just saw Joe appear out of nowhere, in front of the school, with a poof!" Matt explained.

"It happened this morning when I was going to school, too." Joe added.

"And as for why I'm here so early was because my band practically threw me out." Matt continued, "Nothing just seemed to sound right ad eventually it drove my bandmates crazy, so they told me to come back later."

"Wait, Joe, you just appeared in front of the school?!" Yolei asked incredulously.

"I did, right after thinking about the school. Matt even said he saw it himself, so he can back me up!" Joe said.

"Why have strange things happened to us today?" T.K. said, before the rest of the DigiDestined explained what had happened to them to Joe and Matt.

"When I get my hands on those kids, they'll be wishing they never messed with you, T.K.!" Matt growled.

"At least I didn't get hurt, somehow..."

"Maybe what's happened to the humans has something to do with what Gennai wanted to tell us yesterday." Gatomon said, "We should go now and see." With nods from the rest of the group, Davis opened the gate and they all disappeared into the computer and to the Digital World.


"Guys!" Agumon cheered as they saw the kids return. With large greetings, the older kids were reunited with their digimon.

"Where have you been?!" Gabumon asked, "We've been looking all over for you!"

"What's wrong?" Mimi asked, "Did something bad happen?"

"Not bad, exactly, but something big did happen." Palmon said, "Follow us." The digimon led them to the lake, which had somehow been drained out, surprising them.

"What happened to the lake?" Davis asked.

"A powerful digimon attacked and evaporated the entire lake!" Tentomon said, "It even attacked Gennai's house! We were lucky to have been waiting on you, which was why no one had been in there at the time of the attack."

"But, even though we managed to digivolve and fight back, he was too strong for us." Gomamon said, "And we mean crazy strong! It just blew away the Ultimates like dolls!"

"We barely escaped ourselves!" Biyomon said, "All of us split up and when we came back together, we found that the digimon had left us this." She held out a piece of paper with writing on it. Izzy took it and read aloud:

Roses are Red,

Violets are Blue,

Digimon don't need humans,

And that means YOU.

"Poet with a sardonic sense of humor, don't you think?" V-mon said uneasily.

"Well, that digimon has made true to his threat." Agumon said, "When we woke up this morning, Gennai was missing!"

"We've looked everywhere but couldn't find him!" Palmon said, "We think he might have been kidnapped!"

"Calm down, all of you!" Joe said, "Guys, did you get the digimon's name?"

"No, but it looked like a Plutomon." Tentomon said, "And those are nasty digimon, even if they do have a code of justice!"

"Plutomon?" Kari asked.

"Yes." Gabumon nodded, "They're apart of the Olympos XII, a group of 12 digimon who have names based on gods and godesses from the Human World, and they all have their ways of fulfilling their senses of justice. Plutomon is the opposite of Jupitermon, the leader of the Olympos XII, and isn't officially a member because of his ways of bringing justice, which completely contrast Jupitermon's."

"We think he might have been the one to kidnap Gennai, but we haven't seen him since his attack yesterday." Gomamon said.

"Wait, yesterday?" T.K. said, "We couldn't get into the Digital World yesterday for some reason! Maybe Plutomon blocked us out somehow."

"He wouldn't have been able to on his own, but you might be right." Hawkmon said.

"I think we should ask the rest of the Olympos XII about this, see if they know what's going on." Armadillomon said.

"Good idea, Armadillomon." Cody praised, making the digimon blush, "But that still doesn't explain everything that's happened to us today."

"What do you mean?" Tentomon asked, where the kids relayed what had happened to them.

"You're right, that is strange." Biyomon said, "It might also have something to do with what we discovered."

"Discovered?" Sora asked.

"See, Tentomon and Biyomon were flying as their Champion forms when, as they were passing over a lake in the mountains, the lake lit up!" Palmon said, "It lit up with a greenish glow, similar to the Crest of Sincerity's, but when we checked it out, the glow was gone!"

"We don't know who or what made the glow, as nothing was out of the ordinary." Agumon said, "But Gennai thought you guys needed to know about it as soon as possible, which is why he called you guys here."

"What about Gennai's house?" Tai asked, "Is it salvageable at all?"

"Look for yourselves." Gabumon said. They walked to the edge of the lake and saw what the digimon had meant. The place where Gennai's house should have been was gone, replaced by a smoking building, almost unrecognizable.

"Now I know what you mean by strong." Patamon said, "But how did Plutomon drain away the water?"

"Cerberumon." Biyomon answered, "They used their Portals of Darkness attack to transport all the water into a different dimension."

"But how could he get enough of them to do this?" Yolei asked.

"Plutomon are originally Cerberumon who use Slide Digivolution to change into a different form, but on the same level. A Cerberumon needs to Slide Digivolve into Cerberumon Werewolf Mode before it can digivolve to Plutomon." Gatomon explained.

"That makes sense on how Plutomon was able to get so many Cerberumon. They look up to him, since he's a higher level form from the same digivolution line." Matt said, "Like how all those Yokomon looked up to Biyomon back during our first adventures here."

"But what about the poem?" Patamon said, "It's obviously threatening the humans, but why?"

"The only ways to find that out," Mimi said, "Are to either find and ask Plutomon himself or find and ask the Olympos XII. If you ask me, I'd rather take my chances with the Olympos XII."

"Then where should we start?" Palmon asked.

"Let me bring up a map and see." Izzy said, opening his laptop. Tentomon looked over his shoulder as he did so until the map was brought up.

"Each of the Olympos XII are different." Tentomon said, "This means that they each have a different home, and we'll have to visit at least one of them." He pointed to the screen, "Now, seeing as we're here, at Gennai's lake, we'll need to go here, to these caves. The caves are the closest to us and the only Olympos XII member that likes in caves is Vulcanusmon."

"Is he mean at all?" V-mon asked.

"I don't know, but I've heard that he's a bit strict but nice."

"Then he's our go-to digimon!" Davis said, "Let's go!" With smiles and nods, the group followed the map to the caves, where they hesitantly entered the darkness to find answers.


Another chapter! I hope you guys like it, and I'm planning to add another story soon, if I can. For now, though, read and review, please!
