Tamara Caitlyn: Welcome to the second chapter of Jeri's Trust. I have absolutely no idea why I named it that, it just sounded good. My new sewing project, my friend's stuffed hippo, is in my lap, my Easter hat beside the skull that gives candy, and my hunting cap on my head, I'm read to start the chapter, how bout' you?
EDIT!~: That friend of mine that fixed the grammar and spelling and such, she just offered the do the rest of the chapters. She's is totally awesome! I changed some of the sentences, and deleted some of the others completely. This revision thing is getting easier. I hated it at first, but it isn't so bad anymore. I think it was so hard at first was because of my ADD…but once I actually get into focusing on something, it usually turns out awesome. *grins then runs after squirrel*
Jeri Katou glided through the television's programming, only seeing Leomon in the distance, ready to hurt the children. She finally reached her destination, falling down from the sky, and landing on Leomon, making him and her, fall over the edge of the path. They fell fast and when they hit the ground they hit hard. She slid off the lion as he stood up, glaring at her.
"Are you one of the Digidestined?" He asked coldly. Jeri shuddered.
"Leomon, I'm a Tamer. I've got a Leomon for a partner myself. Leomon you can't let Devimon control you! Fight back. You can do it." Jeri coached and distant Leomon. Far away, in the back of his mind he heard her.
Jeri? Is that you? What is going on? Devimon is controlling me. That cannot happen! I will not allow him to hurt you. Leomon grabbed his head, using Jeri's words as guidance. Jeri quickly got out her D-Arc and pointed it at him, letting him bathe in the light that glided out of it. Leomon's pupil's came back to his eyes, and his face softened.
"Leomon, you're back." Jeri smiled. She did it. She helped him. He wasn't evil anymore.
"Jeri. Thank you. You have helped me drive that vile Digimon from my mind. He won't hurt me as long as I have you." Leomon engulfed her in a hug. Jeri was in heaven. This wasn't just any old Leomon, it was her Leomon, her partner Leomon. He wasn't dead, he wasn't.
"Leomon, I missed you so much. I'm so happy." Jeri clutched her partner, vowing never to let go. But the battle above caught their attention. "We should help Leomon. Ogremon is attacking them. He's working for Devimon." Jeri told him, pointing upward.
"You right Jeri. It is partially my fault too. I attacked them too." Jeri nodded sadly, not wanting to put any blame on him, but knowing it was the truth.
"But you can make up for it by helping them Leomon. They're nice. I know it." Jeri assured him. Leomon nodded, and jumped from ledge to ledge, till he was at the ledge where the battle was. He hid Jeri behind a rock, not wanting her to be in harm's way. He walked slowly towards the battle.
"Guys, Leomon's back." Tai yelled, warning the champion Digimon to watch their backs. Birdramon, Kabuterimon, and Ikkakumon turned around, to fight the new arrival. Jeri held her breath.
"Leomon, I'm glad you're back, now help me get rid of these annoying brats." Ogremon commanded.
"Ogremon, I will not help you, I am here to help the Digidestined. You can help me too." Leomon stated, stopping the oncoming Digimon.
"What do you mean? A few minutes ago, you were ready to kill us." Matt shouted. Jeri winced at the kill part.
"Yeah, you wanted to kill us, then something fell out of the sky, and then you want to help us. Someone has a personality disorder." Joe stated, feeling a little bit panicked.
"What did fall out of the sky?" T.K. asked no one in particular. Leomon ignored him.
"I was under control of an evil Digimon. But the bump on the head helped me. Now I will help you, to make up for what I did." Leomon told the group of seven children.
"Very peculiar, you didn't have a black gear did you? I didn't see one. So what was controlling you?" Izzy asked curiously.
"It was an evil Digimon." Leomon stated once again.
"I'm just glad you're on our side." Tai condemned. Leomon turned to Ogremon.
"You can join us if you are willing. If not, I will have to discourage you." Leomon threatened. Ogremon jumped at Leomon, signaling that he was taking the second. Leomon jumped too, but was brought down by the damage he took from falling off the cliff. Jeri, knowing that he needed help, pulled out the stack of cards that she had with her. She decided on a combo.
"Digimon modify, power and speed activate." She whispered, pulling the cards through her D-Arc. "Digimon modify, energy activate." She pulled an energy card through this time, helping Leomon greatly, whispering all the while. Leomon jumped up, using the speed and energy that had suddenly surged thought him.
"Pummel Whack!" Ogremon yelled as a blast of dark energy came from his fist. Leomon dodged it easily, using the speed boost. He appeared behind Ogremon.
"Fist of the Beast King!" He hit Ogremon dead on. Jeri was silently cheering, when the Digidestined started to scream. An avalanche had begun, rocks were crashing towards the children, and one was headed for Jeri. Jeri tried to scream, but couldn't. Birdramon, Kabuterimon, Greymon, Togemon, Garurumon, and Ikkakumon all destroyed the rocks that were heading for their partners, but not caring about the one that was heading for Jeri, for they did not know that she was there.
Jeri cringed, waiting for the oncoming rock to crush her like a pancake. There was movement and a shadow. The rock didn't hit, all she heard was, Fist of the Beast King. She looked up, Leomon was standing over her. The rock was now sand, floating down towards the ground, some catching in her hair."Thank you Leomon." She whispered.
"You're welcome." Leomon said, not whispering like his partner.
"Uh, you're welcome and all, but there was no need to crush that rock. It wasn't going to hit anybody." Matt answered, not knowing that Leomon was having a conversation with a girl that was hiding behind the rock. Leomon looked at them, and then looked down. He moved aside and looked at Jeri. Jeri looked back, then suddenly, catching on what Leomon wanted her to do, popped up from behind the rock. The reaction was contagious. One by one, they got the look of shock on their faces; Matt affected the most, mentally slapping himself for what he said. T.K. was the first to speak up.
"So…are you what fell out of the sky?" He asked, finally getting his long awaited answer. Jeri nodded. T.K. jumped up and ran over to her, narrowly avoiding his brother's grasp. He looked up at her. "What's your name? How do you know about Digimon? Do you have a partner?" T.K. asked an ongoing string of questions. Jeri nodded again, saying she would answer him in a minute. She looked towards the others, who was slower at getting over their shock than T.K. Sora was first to speak.
"So…there was another kid that was at camp? I didn't see you there." She said definably.
"I wasn't at camp. I was in my living room watching T.V." She answered. She declined to tell them that she was watching them on the telly. She turned to T.K. "My name is Jeri Katou. My friends and I have known about Digimon for a while, and yes." She said, answering his questions. T.K. looked at his friends smugly. Izzy spoke up.
"So what you are saying is that you were pulled through the excessive, time warp through the technology that mankind has sired to this parallel universe?" Izzy wondered, looking at the dark red haired girl expectantly. She titled her head in puzzlement. The computer geek sighed. Doesn't anyone here except for me have an intelligent mind? He thought one-sided.

The eight children walked through the thick forest.
"I'm intrigued that our Digimon were able to divulge twice in one day." Izzy stated to the group.
"Well it was sure luck for us that they could do it." Tai answered.
"I think that our Digimon are growing stronger. I wonder if that's a normal part of their evolution or if we're bringing out something special in them." Sora said thoughtfully.
Jeri looked up at Leomon. He looked down at her. She stared ahead, deciding to speak.
"Takato and everyone else's Digimon were able to evolve many times over and over again. A few of them even reached Mega." She told the group to their astonishment.
"Very interesting, has Leomon evolved?" Izzy asked.
Jeri blushed. "Uh…um…no, I met Leomon at champion. In the real world, that's where most of us met our Digimon. First time I saw him, I completely freaked him out, chasing after him and such. I must have looked like a crazy person." Jeri told him, embarrassed.
"You did Jeri, you did. You freaked me out too, thinking I was your partner. But I missed you so much." Everyone looked around. For Leomon had not spoken, none of them had. But Leomon and Jeri were frozen. That voice was so familiar. A white blur shot out of a nearby tree. It headed for Jeri, but was stopped by Gabumon's Blue Blaster. The other Digimon, except for Leomon, surrounded the tiny Digimon.
"Stop" Jeri yelled. Everyone looked like she had a very large spider on her. Jeri ran and broke the circle of Digimon, kneeling down by the purple and white, in-training Digimon. "Are you ok Calumon?" She asked. Calumon stood up and shook himself, imitating a wet dog. He looked up at Jeri with his green eyes and nodded.
"That was fun. Let's do it again." Calumon jumped up and spread his ears wide, gliding on them. He landed on Jeri's head.
"Sorry about that. This is Calumon, a very playful and energetic in-training Digimon. He's a friend of mine and very important. He's evolving himself." She told them, pointing to the creampuff on her head.
Tamara Caitlyn: How'd ya'll like it? I just had to put Calumon in here, I just love how playful and energetic he is. I'll have hints about the others, but they won't make a physical appearance. Just a voice, or a mention about where they live. Anyway, I was really encouraged to keep writing by the review I got, and the subscription I got. First story to ever get any of them. This is defiantly going to keep going. Hope you liked this chapter and keep reading fateful viewers!
P.S. I was watching the eight episode the whole time I was writing this. Getting what happened down exactly has it happened, just adding Jeri is very important to this story.
