Digimon:Ever Quest
Part Two
By Dagger
Last time, Takato and the others didn't know where Mako went, but even worse, they couldn't get to the door she must have had to have gone through!
Mako did go through the door and found herself in a stream of light: falling! But is she really falling? Cause she's not getting anywhere! And after the fall is finished, where will she find herself next?
~~~~~
"Guilmon don't know..." Guilmon hopelessly dropped his head.
"There must be some way..." Ryo pondered.
Wizardmon looked around cautiously, "Do you think maybe there's something making this?"
"Making what?" Takato asked.
"This, maybe it's just an illusion." Wizardmon suggested.
"But what?" Ryo wondered.
"Thunder ball!" Wizardmon shot balls of glowing, yellow thunder around the room, hoping to hit something. There was a sound of something being disrupted and a portion of the wall began to waver.
"What's that?" Guilmon asked.
"You hit something..." Ryo said, on guard.
"Grr, you'll pay for disturbing my peace!"
"Who said that?!" Wizardmon looking around and then was knocked to the ground but an unseen source.
"Wizardmon!" The others exclaimed.
"Get ready, Guilmon!" Takato took out his blue card and Digivice.
"Right!" Guilmon was in battle pose.
"Ready Monodramon?" Ryo equiped himself as well.
"MMhmm!" Monodramon nodded.
Takato and Ryo pulled the blue cards through the Digivice scanner, "DIGI MODIFY DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE!!"
Guilmon digivolved to WarGrowmon and Monodramon to Cyberdramon.
"Illusion strike!" An invisible element from the other Digimon struck WarGrowmon.
Cyberdramon came up behind him and did some hand-to-hand combat, kicking him to the ground.
"What is that thing?" Takato exclaimed.
Ryo was looking at his Digivice for info, "I don't know, the Digivice can't scan him."
"He's not a Digimon!" Takato called to the two battling Digimon, "Destroy him!"
"Right! Cyber nail!" Cyberdramon drove into the attacker. It dispurse into spots of light and disappeared.
Takato went toward the door and was able to reach it now.
"Yes! Com'on!" Takato exclaimed to the others, happy they could reach it now.
"Right." Ryo and the others were running to Takato.
~~~~~
Mako had stopped falling and found the bottom of the light stream and had traveled on while Takato, Ryo and the others were battling that thing. She now found herself in a toy house.
"Hey look, they're life-size dolls!" She giggled as she ran to the dolls sitting at the table with cups in front of them. "This cake looks really yummy!" She picked up the piece off the plate and bit into it. "AAHHH!!!" She quickly dropped it, "It's not real!" Her eyes had a stream of tears running from them with pain. She rubbed her cheek. "Geez..." She sighed and went on, glad she didn't break anything.
She ran around the house to the front side where there was a convertable.
"A car, I wonder if it really works." She ran around to the drivers place and sat inside, shutting the door behind her. "Hmm, well there's a key in the ignision.." She turned the key expecting a motor sound, but nothing came. "I guess not.... Hmm." She climbed out of the car and continued running down the table she had found herself on. When reaching the end, she looked down in awe. "That's a long fall.. nothing a little rope can't fix."
Mako ran back and brought some string with her. She took out the plastic on the window on the house which you could open and close, and tied it around the bottom part. She took the string with her and dropped it down from the end of the table. "Here I go!" She grabbed the string and let herself slide down, falling the foot that the rope didn't reach. She then scurried across the floor toward an enormous door. "This should be the way out, huh?" Crawling under the crack she only found herself only a dark "Closet?? Must've made a wrong turn -- but wait!" Turning toward the door there was a small door in the wall. "There must be a passage way or something.." Cautiously walking through the small opening, she found herself in a lit hall. "I wonder where this leads.." To her left was the dead end where the large door's post was, to the right was a path which went beyond where she could see. "The lights are dim, so I should be careful." She warned herself and began running off down the hall, unsure what might be up ahead.
~~~~~
"I never thought I'd say this a second time: but who knew falling could get so boring?" Takato said as they found themselves in a stream of light -- the same stream of light. "You know, me and Jenrya flung ourselves out of the light stream and actually got somewhere."
"Well it's better than waiting around to be swollowed by something or whatever might happen." Ryo replied.
"Grab on, Guilmon." Takato reached for Guilmon who had to de-Digivolve to fit through the door. He grabbed Ryo with his other hand.
Ryo took Takato's hand, Guilmon took Wizardmon's hand and Monodramon had his hand.
"So, how do you propose we do this?" Ryo asked.
"How aboout Wizardmon gets at the end of the line and shoots one of his thunder balls at us! That'll send us flying through." Takato said.
Wizardmon switched places with Monodramon and did just that, getting pulled by Monodramon when he hit him. When they were out of the stream of light, they found themselves a high distance from the table and began their fast fall down.
"AAHHHH!!! OwCh!!"
"Maybe it would've been better to wait.." Takato said, rubbing his head.
"You forget.. we still have to find that portal..." Wizardmon reminded them.
"AND close it." Ryo added. "If it wasn't for Mako we wouldn't be in this mess!"
"It wasn't her fault she fell through, she probably just started running because she wanted to find a way out and didn't know we'd be after her shortly..." Takato suggested this idea.
Ryo frustratedly sighed but said nothing as they got up and started toward the doll house.
Takato looked around, "Hello? Is anybody here? Mako?"
"Check every room, who knows where she might be!" Monodramon recommended.
Ryo looked in the 'kitchen', "Mako?"
Takato in the 'bathroom', "Maakkkooo!"
Guilmon in the 'master bedroom', "Mako? Nope, no Mako here.."
Wizardmon in one of the 'guest bedrooms', "Where are you Mako??"
Monodramon in the 'living room', "Hey Mako! Come out, come out, wherever you are!"
Everyone met back in the 'dining room', where the dolls were sitting at the table with their cake and coffee.
"She's not here.." Wizardmon said, nobody noticing the eerie, red glow in the dolls eyes.
"Where could she have gone off to?" Takato wondered.
"She could be anywhere by now! She's probably still trying to find her way out." Ryo huffed.
"Well maybe--"
"GUILMON LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!!" Wizardmon exclaimed.
"What?" Guilmon turned around to the three dolls with the glowing red eyes. "AAHH!"
"What now?!" Ryo exclaimed.
"Lets try to keep from having to Digivolve, we'll waste their energy." Takato suggested.
"Right. Go Monodramon!"
"Guilmon, remember, these aren't Digimon, it's Ok to destroy them." Takato reminded them.
Guilmon nodded, "Hmm!"
Wizardmon went in as well, "Thunder ball!" He sent the thunder sphere at the doll, electrocuting it and turning it into the same sparkling spots that vanished.
"Pirose sphere!" Guilmon shot a flame out of his mouth and caught the doll on fire, making it disappear as well.
Wizardmon sent another thunder ball at the third doll so it ceased as well.
"Hey look!" Monodramon was busy at the end of the table while the others were fighting.
The four ran over to where he was.
"A rope.." Takato, stating the obvious, said.
"It must be Mako's." Wizardmon suggested.
There she goes again
There she goes again
Ryo dropped his shoulders, "Geez, this is becoming a game of hide and go seek tag!"
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
Takato shrugged with a grin as the others started climbing down.
Ryo gave another heave and followed as they climbed down.
There she goes
There she goes again
Pulsing through my vains
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
The five slid down the rope, waiting at the end for the rest.
There she goes (there she goes again)
There she goes again (there she goes again)
Racing through my brain (there she goes again)
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
When Ryo reached the bottom they began running toward the front door, which seemed like a forever run for them.
There she goes
There she goes again
She calls my name
Pulls my train
No one else could heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
They finally reached the door and climbed under it
There she goes (she calls my name)
There she goes again (she calls my name)
Chasing down my lane (she calls my name)
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
reaching an even larger room which connected with a living room sanerio.
There she goes (there she goes again)
There she goes (there she goes again)
There she goes
"Oh man!" Takato sighed looking around.
~~~~~
Mako was still running through the halls in the wall and finally found another exit. "Oh look here!" She said gladly, walking out and finding herself in another large room. "Um.. I must've taken a wrong turn?" She was in the basement. Continuing forward in the dark, back corner of the basement full of boxes and stored things, she made her way through the maze. "This is.. creepy." She quietly said to herself.
There was a swoosh behind her which quickly made her turn around to see what it was.
"Who's there?!" She exclaimed. Mako backed up against a box and looked in all directions. She scanned across the room, seeing nothing until she realized there were a set of glowing eyes in the midst of the darkness. "W- who're you?!"
The eyes drew closer as an dark, evil chuckle could be heard.
"No, get away! No!! AAHHH!!"
~~~~~
Takato led the exhausted gang of travelers through the living room sanerio.
"Maybe we should rest, Takato... Guilmon tired and hungry."
"Maybe he's right.." Ryo agreed, dragging himself along.
Takato stopped and looked at them, "But Ryo! We have to find Mako and close that portal."
"We won't be able to do it if we don't have any energy left." Ryo replied, a matter of factly.
"Well that's true." Takato had to admit that was true.
So the five sat down where they were on the carpet and debated on how they were to find Mako.
"Maybe we should split up?" Takato suggested.
"No, then we'd be spending twice as long looking for everyone else." Ryo countered.
"For now lets just stick to this tactic, it's the only one we have." Wizardmon reported.
The five sat there silently, pondering on their own for a while.
~~~~~
Mako slowly opened her eyes, finding herself in another bed room. "Where am I?" She wondered as she looked around, it wasn't the bed room she had first found herself. Looking up, she saw her hands were also cuffed above her head. She only had to tug a little at them to see they weren't letting go easily or any time soon. She dropped her head. "What was that?"
"Nekuramon left me in charge!"
Mako turned her head to a toy-soldier looking thing, but knew it wasn't really a toy. "What're you?" She asked.
"I'm merely a tool for Nekuramon." He stated.
"And you're Ok with that?" Mako asked, suprised.
He shrugged, "Not that I have a choice."
"Well, if you helped me out of here, you could be free!" Mako proposed.
He shook his head though, "No can do. If I get caught I'm a goner."
"I hate to be the barrer of bad news but you'll probably be a goner when he's finished anyway..." Mako tried to convince him, knowing that's what evil Digimon usually do.
"I don't think so." He chuckled, seeming too sure of himself.
Mako looked down, "So, since I'm not going anywhere anyway... what's Nekuramon doing?"
"He opened a portal to the Real World, he's gonna destroy it."
Mako was alarmed, "Destory it?! What for??"
He shrugged, "He doesn't like humans and their 'Digimon pets'."
Mako didn't understand why but didn't have time to ask, when someone came along. He looked a lot like the guard who was watching over her.
"Nekuramon orders to move her up." He informed the guard.
"Up? As in up there?" The guard looked up at the top of the dresser Mako was pinned to.
The informer nodded.
"K, thanks." The guard nodded, the informer leaving. He untied Mako and poked her with the end of his toy gun, even though it really was pointy. "Ok, lets move it!"
"Ouch hey! I'm going already..." Mako had her hands in front of her, but still tied together.
~~~~~
Takato, Ryo and the others were again on their way to.. well they didn't exactly know where to.
"This is becoming ridiculous!" Monodramon said.
"Wait, look, there's another room." Wizardmon pointed. "Maybe Mako's in there?"
"It's worth a look.." Takato replied.
~~~~~
When Mako and the guard reached the top.
"Ouch--!" Mako squealed.
"Sorry.." The guard finished tying her up to the wall, then backed away to watch her.
The informer was back, in panick mode, "EMERGENCY!! EMERGENCY!!"
"What is it?!" The guard asked.
"There's been a melfunction and -- WAHH!!" There was an explosion through the wall, sending the informer and guard flying off the dresser and tearing Mako's hands off the wall.
"Ah!" Mako smiled at her freed hands, but there was another explosion which threw her off the dresser as well.
~~~~~
Takato was the first to reach inside the room, the others close behind. "Mako!!"
"AAHHH!!" Mako was still falling.
Wizardmon jumped up and flew up to catch her.
"Wizardmon!" She smiled as they glided to the ground.
"I'm glad we finally found you and better yet you're Ok." He replied.
They landed on the ground and Wizardmon put her back on her feet.
"Where've you been?" Takato asked.
"This is no time for questions.. we've got company." Ryo informed them.
They looked toward the windowcil.
"That must be Nekuramon!" Mako exclaimed.
"Nekuramon?" Ryo asked.
Takato pulled out his Digivice and had it scan him. "Nekuramon.. it has info on him but it says he's not a Digimon!"
"That's funny.." Mako commented.
"That doesn't make any sense though!" Ryo said, "If it has info on him, he must be a Digimon!"
"But it said he's not a Digimon..." Mako reminded.
Ryo got into a thinking pose, then finally spoke, "We shouldn't worry about this now, if we can close the portal first then we can come back and get him without being on such a tight schedule."
"Good idea." Wizardmon nodded.
"How're we gonna get out though?" Mako asked.
Ryo drew a blank.
"Over there, a hole!" Takato pointed.
"Another one..." Mako said.
The group ran out of site into the hole tunnel, hoping to find the end and exit.
"Look, there's the exit!" Mako exclaimed as she pointed to a blinding light which grew bigger as they closed in on it.
"Lets go!" Takato pointed.
When they had gone through the blinding light and everything came back into view, the team found themselves in thin air. Pausing to take it all in, they fell the next second but were caught by a beam of light the shot from under them and made they start floating up.
"What's this??"
"It's the Green Portal!" Ryo exclaimed.
"Where we going?" Takato panicked.
"I dunno.." Ryo admitted as they were drawn into blinding light again.
~~~~~
They decended from a hole in the sky and slowly came to the ground. They looked up and watched as the Green Portal was sealed... forever.
They stared in awe for a moment.
"Wow.." Was the only comment Mako could come up with.
"The portal.." Takato started,
Ryo finished, "..closed..."
A big grin spread across Mako's face, "That means we did it!"
Ryo looked at her, "We didn't do anything except chase you around the whole time!"
Mako's grin faded quickly and she dropped her shoulders, sorry she said anything.
"I guess I'll go home, see ya Takato." Ryo said as he and Monodramon departed.
"Bye..." Takato replied, watching them run off, then turned to Mako, "Mako what's wrong?"
"I won't be able to go back to my time.. the portal's now sealed..." Mako was crouching.
"Uh.. hmmm..." Takato didn't know what to say to this.
Wizardmon patted Mako on the shoulder, "It's Ok, I can try and use my magic to get us back but it's rather risky."
Mako wasn't sure if she wanted to take the risk of going back to the Digital world.
To Be Continued.... or will it ?
Ahhh! Mako's stuck in Takato and Ryo's time and Ryo isn't gonna go looking for her again, so he won't even LET her take the risk of ending up in the Digital World. What's Takato gonna do? What's Ryo gonna do? What's Mako gonna do? And most importantly, how're the others gonna react??
Find out, possibley, the next time!

"What's that?" Guilmon asked.
"You hit something..." Ryo said, on guard.
"Grr, you'll pay for disturbing my peace!"
"Who said that?!" Wizardmon looking around and then was knocked to the ground but an unseen source.
"Wizardmon!" The others exclaimed.
"Get ready, Guilmon!" Takato took out his blue card and Digivice.
"Right!" Guilmon was in battle pose.
"Ready Monodramon?" Ryo equiped himself as well.
"MMhmm!" Monodramon nodded.
Takato and Ryo pulled the blue cards through the Digivice scanner, "DIGI MODIFY DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE!!"
Guilmon digivolved to WarGrowmon and Monodramon to Cyberdramon.
"Illusion strike!" An invisible element from the other Digimon struck WarGrowmon.
Cyberdramon came up behind him and did some hand-to-hand combat, kicking him to the ground.
"What is that thing?" Takato exclaimed.

"I'm glad we finally found you and better yet you're Ok." He replied.
They landed on the ground and Wizardmon put her back on her feet.
"Where've you been?" Takato asked.
"This is no time for questions.. we've got company." Ryo informed them.
They looked toward the windowcil.
"That must be Nekuramon!" Mako exclaimed.
"Nekuramon?" Ryo asked.
Takato pulled out his Digivice and had it scan him. "Nekuramon.. it has info on him but it says he's not a Digimon!"
"That's funny.." Mako commented.
"That doesn't make any sense though!" Ryo said, "If it has info on him, he must be a Digimon!"
"But it said he's not a Digimon..." Mako reminded.
Ryo got into a thinking pose, then finally spoke, "We shouldn't worry about this now, if we can close the portal first then we can come back and get him without being on such a tight schedule."
"Good idea." Wizardmon nodded.
"How're we gonna get out though?" Mako asked.
Ryo drew a blank.
"Over there, a hole!" Takato pointed.
"Another one..." Mako said.
The group ran out of site into the hole tunnel, hoping to find the end and exit.
"Look, there's the exit!" Mako exclaimed as she pointed to a blinding light which grew bigger as they closed in on it.
"Lets go!" Takato pointed.
When they had gone through the blinding light and everything came back into view, the team found themselves in thin air. Pausing to take it all in, they fell the next second but were caught by a beam of light the shot from under them and made they start floating up.
"What's this??"
"It's the Green Portal!" Ryo exclaimed.
"Where we going?" Takato panicked.
"I dunno.." Ryo admitted as they were drawn into blinding light again.
~~~~~
They decended from a hole in the sky and slowly came to the ground. They looked up and watched as the Green Portal was sealed... forever.
They stared in awe for a moment.
"Wow.." Was the only comment Mako could come up with.
"The portal.." Takato started,
Ryo finished, "..closed..."
A big grin spread across Mako's face, "That means we did it!"
Ryo looked at her, "We didn't do anything except chase you around the whole time!"
Mako's grin faded quickly and she dropped her shoulders, sorry she said anything.
"I guess I'll go home, see ya Takato." Ryo said as he and Monodramon departed.
"Bye..." Takato replied, watching them run off, then turned to Mako, "Mako what's wrong?"
"I won't be able to go back to my time.. the portal's now sealed..." Mako was crouching.
"Uh.. hmmm..." Takato didn't know what to say to this.
Wizardmon patted Mako on the shoulder, "It's Ok, I can try and use my magic to get us back but it's rather risky."
Mako wasn't sure if she wanted to take the risk of going back to the Digital world.
To Be Continued.... or will it ?
Ahhh! Mako's stuck in Takato and Ryo's time and Ryo isn't gonna go looking for her again, so he won't even LET her take the risk of ending up in the Digital World. What's Takato gonna do? What's Ryo gonna do? What's Mako gonna do? And most importantly, how're the others gonna react??
Find out, possibley, the next time!
