We were now back at the train station where we had first arrived in the digital world. In front of us, was a Trailmon, looking like it was waiting for passengers to board on to it.
Neemon pointed to it and began to talk.
"If you really wanna go home, all you have to do is hop on here." A train to go home on?
"It's that easy?!" JP asked no one in particular.
Of course, Bokomon didn't seem quite happy about Neemon leaking this sort of information to us.
"NEEMON! A word please!" He yelled as he grabbed the waist band of Neemon's pants, and began to drag away from us, "What exactly are you trying to do!"
We all watched as Bokomon dragged off Neemon, who was begging Bokomon to let him go, before JP started to talk.
"I'm taking that bad boy home! HUH?!?!? How 'bout it guys?" He asked, turning to face all of us, waiting for our replies. Behind him, Bokomon continued his lecture to Neemon, and he was now snapping the waist band repeatedly of the pants wearing Digimons pants. I laughed inwardly at the scene going on.
When JP didn't get any replies from us, he looked down at Tommy.
"You don't really wanna stay here do 'ya?" he asked again. This time, when no one answered, he growled in frustration.
"FINE! You dweebs enjoy your little digital freak show!" He yelled as he jumped down on the tracks, landing with a grunt, walking over to the Trailmon.
"C'mon Tommy, lets blow this stupid pop stand!" I watched JP as he walked off before hearing Zoe start to talk to Tommy.
"Aren't you going with him?" She asked.
He looked down at the ground before speaking. "I've decided, that I wanna stay here with you."
We all gasped at what he had just said, and Takuya turned around to look at him.
"But I thought you wanted to go home." Zoe said, confusion in her voice.
"Yea, so did I." I quietly stated.
Tommy looked away from the ground, and up at the three of us before speaking. "Not anymore…"
Takuya walked up to him, and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Go with JP! It's dangerous here Tommy. Besides, the third grade is a formative year!" Takuya said to the youngest one of the group.
Tommy pushed Takuya's hand off his shoulder and quietly argued back. "No!-" but before he could finish, Takuya placed both hands on his shoulders, and gently pushed him towards the tracks.
"Go home!" Takuya shouted as he pushed the boy. "Hurry up now!"
Tommy looked back at us sadly, before jumping down to the tracks and walking over to JP, who had a hand reached out to help the kid get up on the other side.
"Take care of him JP!" Takuya stated. I could hear the sadness in his voice as he saw the two guys get on the Trailmon, before turning towards Zoe.
"How 'bout you, huh?" rudeness completely drenched in his question.
He frowned as she began to start talking. "I have a name!" she sent him an angry glare.
"Ok, 'Zoe'," Takuya said, sarcastically emphasizing on her name, "Are 'ya leaving?"
"Why, would you miss me?" She smiled while she said this in a very girly voice.
Takuya turned towards her and pointed a finger at her before talking. "I wont be responsible for your safety, ya' know." Did that mean he wasn't responsible for mine either?
Zoe crossed her arms across her chest. "Good one Romeo! I'll be fine."
Takuya turned away from her, and looked at me before quietly muttering. "This oughta be fun…" I giggled at him quietly, only to be broken out of it as the train whistle blew.
The three of us watched the train become engulfed in steam as it began to chug away. The steam surrounded the rest of us, causing everyone to go into a coughing fit. When the smoke had cleared, Neemon shouted goodbye to the Trailmon and its passengers.
"Arivederchi!" He shouted, mispronouncing the French goodbye, causing me to slightly giggled, before we all commented on it.
"Nice pronunciation." all three of us said a the same time.
"Thank you!" Neemon happily said.
We all turned and looked in different directions, when we heard footsteps coming towards us. I turned and looked in the direction they were coming from, only to see JP and Tommy approaching us. Takuya turned and saw them coming, which surprised him.
"HEY! What're you doing here?" He asked them.
JP grinned nervously while scratching the back of his head. "To be honest, I have absolutely no idea."
Tommy laughed slightly before giving us his answer. "Hehe, me neither!"
Zoe looked at both of them before repeating Takuya's quote from earlier.
"Well, im not gonna be responsible for your safety. You're on your own!" Tommy and JP stood there nervously, while Takuya started to yell at Zoe, accusing her from mocking him, while Neemon, Bokomon, and I laughed.
Looks like no one was going home after all.
The sun was setting while we walked down the tracks, Zoe in front, Tommy behind her, JP behind Tommy, and Takuya and I side by side Behind JP. Takuya had his hands crossed behind his head while looking up at the sky as we walked. Bokomon and Neemon were quietly trailing behind us before Bokomon appeared next to us.
"Uh, I hope you're planning on helping us Mr. Takuya." Bokomon stated.
"Hmm?" Takuya acknowledged him by turning his gaze towards Bokomon.
"You carry with you the sprit of Agunimon, one of the ten legendary warriors. You can defeat the Digimon, turned evil, by Cherubimon! Only YOU have the power to save us! YOU MUST HELP RESTORE THE PARTS OF THE DIGITAL WORLD THAT HAVE BEEN DESTROYED!" Bokomon shouted, while jumping up and down. Wait…did he just say ten legendary warriors? But what about….me?
"Think 'ya need to calm down buddy" Takuya said coolly, blowing off Bokomon's panic attack. Bokomon just started yelling more.
"My names Bokomon and I am NOT your buddy! I don't think you understand the severity of the situation here!" jeez, who knew he could get that irritating this fast?
The others stopped and turned around, probably due to Bokomon's loud and angry rambling in the back. They groaned in annoyance, which made Bokomon stop and apologize.
"Sorry, didn't mean to yell, but we need the data from the fractal code! It's the only way to rebuild the digital world!" He was now on the ground, on his knees, giving us a sad puppy dog look. He started begging.
"Please! Help us get the fractal code back! Save our world before it's too late! Will you?" He asked, well more like begged Takuya. Takuya of course just stood there, not answering Bokomon's question. Bokomon quickly turned to Neemon for help with his pleas.
"NEEMON, DON'T JUST STAND THERE LIKE A CHEAP TEENY ANTENNAE, I NEED YOUR HELP! SAY SOMETHING!" Neemon stood there stupidly while Bokomon yelled at him to say something. Neemon took the say something part literally.
"Something." Bokomon immediately started to yell at him and snap the waistband of his pants.
All of the sudden, our D-tector's started glowing, as the strange voice from earlier began to talk.
"Attention: Go to the Forest Terminal immediately."
"What's a Forest Terminal?" Takuya asked.
Everyone else turned to each other before asking the same question.
"What is a Forest Terminal?" Bokomon gasped and immediately stopped snapping Neemon's pants.
Takuya started talking to his D-tector, asking it for answers.
"How am I supposed to find it?" the only thing that came form his D-tector was a blank white screen, which made him lose his patience. "HEY! Hey, answer me!" He started pressing all the buttons in frustration, which didn't really help at all.
Bokomon opened up his book and began reading what he had found.
"Uh, the Forest Terminal is a station located deep within the realm of the Forest Kingdom…Oh! We just follow the tracks, they'll take us right to it!" Well that wont to be far, right?!
"How far do we have to follow them?" Neemon asked Bokomon.
"It says….It says….uhhh….ARGHHH! All the way!" ALL THE WAY! THAT WOULD TAKE DAYS! NO WEEKS! MAYBE EVEN MONTHS!
We all groaned miserably at the thought of how long it would exactly take.
"Let's just hope we can all get there in one piece." I mumbled quietly as we began walking ahead once more. At times like this, I would grab my guitar and start playing, but since my guitar was now extremely small, I couldn't do anything at all. I pulled out the key chain that is now what my guitar used to be, and looked at it sadly.
"ARGHHHHHH GROW BACK ALREADY!" I shouted angrily, causing everyone to turn around and stare at me. But what made everyone shocked, including myself, was right at that very moment, my guitar was back to its normal size.
"How did you do that?!" Takuya asked me, surprise all over his face.
"Umm….im not sure….all I did was shout for it to grow back to normal size and it….well…just did!" I played several strings, smiling at the noise it made.
"Great! Now we can have music on this trip!" Zoe chirped. I agreed with her on this. I mean, who knows how long this boring trip could take us? Entertainment is just what it needs to lighten up the mood!
Everyone else happily voiced their agreement before turning to me.
"Play something!"
"Wha- b-but I don't know what to play!" It was the honest truth! I scanned my mind quickly, thinking of all the songs I knew how to play, but unable to find one that suited the moment.
"Play the lullaby your mom used to sing." Takuya whispered in my ear. I went rigid at the words he spoke.
My mom died when I was eight years old. I remember everything that happened that day. I was at school, and in the second grade. Takuya and I were in the same class. It was a Friday, and we were going home. His mom would come get us mostly everyday, being as both of my parents worked all day. My mom was a doctor who studied animals in Africa, so most of the time, she would travel back and forth between home and there. But on that day, she had been home and was supposed to pick me up. But I remember walking out of the school with Takuya, and being greeted by his mother. She told me that my parents said for her to pick me up and take me home with her and Takuya. I liked going home with Takuya, so it didn't really bother me. But, when it got later and later, I began to get a feeling that something was wrong. I remember my dad coming to get me, but he didn't take me home. He just began to explain things that had occurred.
Flashback:
"Daddy, where's mommy?"
He knelt down in front of me, who was 8 at the time, and I could see tears in his eyes.
"Sweetie, remember what mommy said about people that go to learn how to be angels?"
"Yep! She said, that people that go to learn how to be an angel, they go to place called heaven, and we don't see them again, until we go to learn how to be an angel!" I didn't know why he was asking a question about angels.
"Well, mommy is at the hospital….and she wants to see you." He then explained that she had been in a car wreck, and was now in the hospital. I didn't really….understand what it meant when went to the hospital in critical condition, but I knew that when you did go, it either meant that you hurt yourself, or you were really sick. I remember Takuya's parents and him and his little brother coming to the hospital with me and my dad. I remember getting to the room my mom was in. She looked horrible, but she was awake, which was good. We walked into her room quietly, and my dad walked me over to her bed.
"Hey, sweetheart…" she greeted me weakly.
"Mommy, are you gonna get better?"
"I'm going to learn how to be an angel, baby."
"But….that means that I wont see you for a long time!" I started crying at this point.
"Shhhh…ill be with you…even if you cant see me…ill be with you…"
"What do you mean I cant see you?! I can always see you!" (good job if you've seen the land before time and remember this quote!)
"Always follow your light, Lilly….no matter where it may lead you…..follow it."
"I-I will mommy…."
"Promise me, that you'll take care of your daddy for me. Promise me, that you will that you will always stay in the light, and out of the darkness. Remember me, but not grieve over me. Im always in your heart Lilly. Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so always remember to listen closely."
I was bawling like a baby now. "I will! I promise!"
She smiled a weak smile, before singing one of the lullabies she would always sing.
'Imba wimbo wa upepo
Wakati unajiwa na
Imba wimbo wa upepo
Wakati udoto tamu
Lala impalka
Usiku usheni
Upepo wasiku
Wimbo wakona
I started to sing along with her.
Wimbo wangu
Ooohh nala milela
Milele'
And then….she was gone.
End flashback:
"Hey, you ok?" I looked in front of me, only to find Takuya right up in my face with a concerned look on his face. I caught my gaze with his. I stared deeply into his brown eyes, memorizing everything about them and his face. Takuya has always been there for me, and all I've ever done is ignore him. I EVEN FORGOT HIS NAME FOR KAMISAMAS SAKE!
"Lilly, answer me! You feel ok? You're not sick are you?" He asked me extremely fast, as he put a hand to my forehead to check for a fever. The contact made me slightly blush.
"Takuya….Im fine…im just tired." I pulled his hand gently from my forehead, and placed it into my hand.
"….." he remained silent.
"Really, Takuya, im fine, ok?" I gave him a fake smile, and by the looks of it, he wasn't buying it one bit.
"You want me to carry you?"
"Would you…?" I asked sleepily.
"Climb on."
"Shrink…." when those words came out of my mouth, my guitar turned back into a key chain, and I placed back in my pocket. I climbed up on Takuya's back and wrapped my arms around his neck, and legs around his waist. After we both adjusted, he started walking towards the others, who were already way ahead of us. Jeez, how long was I zoned out?
"Lilly, are you gonna tell me what you were thinking about that caused you to zone out like that?"
"Just about some things in the past…."
"What kinda things?"
"About….about when my mom died…." He stopped when I had said that.
"What brought it up?" He asked after a few minutes of silence, as he started to walk once more.
"When you asked me to play the lullaby…."
"I'm sorry! I didn't know that it would remind you of that…."
"Its ok…im not mad at you. And…im actually kinda glad you did."
"Why's that?"
"Because….because I remember it now."
I quietly started to hum the lullaby he had asked me to play. It was me and my moms lullaby. Well, we didn't exactly own it, but she would sing it to me every night before I would go to sleep. I quietly started to sing a few words.
Itsumo Nando Demo, from spirited away playing:
'yondeiru muneno dokoka okude'
I stopped when I felt my eyes drifting closed, and sleep began to overcome me peacefully.
When I woke up, it was already dark out. I was still on Takuya's back, which made me feel kinda bad that I wasn't making it easier on him. I noticed we were stopped and looking down into a what looked like a large ravine.
"Why'd we stop?" I whispered to Takuya, letting him know I was now awake.
Bokomon walked out to the edge, where the tracks stopped, and looked down.
"Ugh, this is a fine mess…" I heard him mumble.
Zoe turned to Takuya. "So, what now?" she asked. Yea, what now?
JP stepped up and started pointing down.
"Check it out guys, that trail leads to the bottom!" Sure enough, he was right. There was a trail….a very UNSAFE trail!
We all looked down, when Takuya noticed what looked like a village at the bottom. Of course, he thought that maybe the villagers could help us get across. I offered just to turn into Angewomon and fly us across, but Takuya said that could be more dangerous. And he was the one who wanted to go down the bottom of a ravine, which seemed to outnumber my suggestion in dangerousness. I slid off of Takuya's back and quickly stretched before we all took off to the bottom of the ravine. As we were running down, I thought I heard angry yelling, but when I looked around, I saw nothing, so I kept running.
"That's weird…" JP said when we had reached the bottom, "I could've sworn those lights were coming from here."
"Looked like that to me." Zoe said in agreement.
Takuya and I were looking ahead, seeing if we could find the lights we had seen before, but Tommy interrupted our search when he started pulling on Takuya's arm.
"Takuya?" Tommy said.
"Huh?" We turned to see what Tommy wanted, when we came face to face with pictures carved onto the wall.
"Woah….did not expect to see that…" I muttered while staring at the wall in awe.
A big angel like Digimon, along with the signs of the legendary warriors, covered the wall. I looked around, but I didn't see my symbol anywhere, which made me a little sad.
"What is that?" Takuya asked.
"Kinda pretty." Zoe stated
"Pretty….pretty she says. Ugh, these are the marks of the Ten Legendary Warriors." Bokomon stated.
"The ten legendary warriors?!" everyone repeated Bokomon, except for me. What is it with the ten? Am I not a legendary warrior.
"Hmm? I've never heard of them." Neemon said.
"Are you serious?! The legend of the ten warriors is the first thing we learned in digital world history!" Bokomon replied in shock.
"……I must've been sick that day, but they sure are pretty!" Poor Neemon….
"ARHGGGHHH!" Bokomon groaned in frustration.
Bokomon began telling us of how a Digimon named Lucemon had been a savior to the digital world by stopping a war. He brought peace, and began ruling the digital world peacefully. But one day, he became to obsessed with his power, and began tormenting all the Digimon and the entire digital world, until the legendary warriors stopped him and saved everyone.
"Bokomon…? Im confused….I know you said that I was the legendary warrior of light, love and joy, but I don't see my symbol up there. Why is that?" I asked Bokomon, hoping he would provide me with a answers.
"Oh, yes that! Well, you see, you are a legendary warrior, but Angewomon was one of the legendary angel warriors. There were two legendary angel warriors, known as Magnaangemon, and of course Angewomon. They worked alongside with the legendary warriors, helping them in their battle to defeat Lucemon. Sadly, it all ended in sadness. Magnaangemon gave his life up for Angewomon, and was defeated. He gave what little strength he had left to Angewomon, along with the other ten legendary warriors. In the end, she sacrificed herself for the others, and gave all her strength and energy she had left to the other legendary warriors. In her honor, they placed her as an actual legendary warrior like themselves."
"What a sad story….." I said.
"Yea….She gave her life for her friends…." Zoe stated.
"Uhh, guys? I think we've got company." Takuya said. We all turned around and saw candles that had arms and a face.
An older looking candle thing approached us.
"Why have you humans come to our village? You are not welcome here." Jeez, wasn't like there was a sign that read 'no trespassers' allowed.
Takuya stepped up to explain.
"We're on our way to the Forest Terminal. Sorry to disturb you!"
The elder suddenly got mad and started yelling at us, saying we were here to steal the ancient artifact.
"Well, you wont get away with it!" The elder shouted.
"He's right, the humans must be punished!" candle 1 said.
"Hey, boss you want us to whack some for 'ya?" candle number 2 asked. Yea, these dudes were definitely not what I would call our friends.
"WAIT! STOP, LET ME EXPLAIN!" Bokomon interrupted, jumping in front of us, "These humans have come to help us save the digital world, not steal some artifact!"
"But we didn't know that at first." I mentally slapped myself at Takuya's stupidity at not realizing Bokomon had things under control.
"You're not helping!" Bokomon was definitely right about that! "This may be hard to believe, but somehow this boy was infused with the spirit of one of the ten legendary warriors, Agunimon!" Bokomon said while pointing at Takuya.
"Did you say Agunimon?! IMPOSSIBLE!"
The other candle Digimon started to debate amongst themselves whether what Bokomon had said was true.
"And this girl here," Bokomon said, pointing at me now, "Holds the spirit of the legendary angel warrior, Angewomon!"
All the villagers began to talk amongst themselves once more, trying to decide what Bokomon was saying about me and Takuya was true.
After a few moments, they had come to a decision.
"Please forgive our rude behavior my dear young friends! HAHA!!!" the elder apologized to us while floating over to us, "We are the Candlemon tribe! It is our sacred duty to protect the ancient artifact. So, which of you children have inherited the spirit of a legendary warrior?"
"It was these two, Takuya and Lilly!" Bokomon pointed at us. Candlemon floated in front of Takuya's face.
"Well, you certainly have a brave face young man! On behalf of the Candlemon tribe, I bid you all welcome! Please, be our guests!"
"Something doesn't seem quite right…." Takuya said quietly. I agreed 100% with him on this one! The way the Candlemon accepted us was WAY to fast if you ask me.
"Come along now, don't dawdle!" The elder said as he hopped away towards the village, I assume.
We followed him.
Now, we're standing around a giant fire while the Candlemon dance around with what looked like giant clover leafs. All of the sudden, they threw them in the fire, and we all got strangely sleepy.
I heard Bokomon say it was called sleeping clover before him and Neemon fell over, asleep. The rest of us were lying on the ground, struggling to keep our eyes open. Zoe, JP, and Tommy finally passed out, leaving me, Takuya, and DemiVeemon.
"*YAWN*…sleepy time…." DemiVeemon mumbled, before falling asleep in my arms.
"So, you two claimed the spirits of Agunimon and Angewomon, have you? We shall all shed some light on this!" The elder exclaimed. "Get them Candlemon!"
"Come on we cant stay here!" Takuya said, trying to shake Tommy awake, "C'MON!" Then he realized something.
"THE RIVER!" He shouted. Of course! If we were able to get in the river, we would be able to escape.
"LAVA LOOGIE!" the Candlemon shouted, aiming spitball fire at us. Takuya and I grabbed everyone and ran towards the river.
"DIVE IN!" Takuya shouted, as we jumped.
'KUSO!!!!!! THE WATER IS COLD!!!!' I thought as I went under. I felt someone grab my arm and pull me up to the surface.
"That was a great idea!" Takuya remarked sarcastically.
The others came up, gasping for breath.
"I'll never complain about my alarm clock again!" Zoe stated.
"Yea, nice way to wake up! Did we really have to jump into the river?" JP asked.
Everyone started to argue about jumping in when I realized something was missing. I felt the top of my head, and my hat was gone….and so was DemiVeemon.
"OH NO!" I shouted in panic.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt?!" Takuya asked worriedly.
"No, my hats gone!-" he immediately cut me off before I could finish.
"It's just a hat! You can buy a new one later!"
"I KNOW THAT, BUT MY HAT IS NOT THE ONLY THING THAT'S GONE! I CANT FIND DEMIVEEMON!" His eyes widened when I told him about the missing baby Digimon that was our responsibility.
Before we could both start to go into panic mode, I heard a cry for help.
"MOMMA! DADDY! HELP ME!!!!!!!!" I turned in the direction that the shout came from, and saw my hat floating away quickly, along with DemiVeemon.
"DEMIVEEMON!" I shouted as I saw the baby Digimon approaching a what looked like a waterfall.
"Takuya, get everyone else to safety! I'll go after him!" Before Takuya could say anything, I was already swimming away from them.
"HANG ON DEMIVEEMON! IM COMING!"
"LAVA LOOGIE!" I turned around to see fireballs coming straight towards me. I quickly dived under, just in time to miss the attack from hitting me. Instead it hit the water above me, causing a small explosion, hitting me in the back and knocking the wind out of me. I felt the water go inside my mouth as I tried to breath. I was sinking, and I couldn't do anything about it. Just then, I felt someone grab my waist and pull me up. I gasped for air when I hit the surface, coughing and spitting out all the water that had gotten in my mouth. I opened my eyes, and found DemiVeemon sitting on top of Takuya's head. I smiled and continued coughing up all the water I had swallowed. Takuya patted my back, trying to help me cough it all up.
"You ok?" he asked after I had stopped my coughing fit.
"Yea….just peachy!"
"I tried to save your hat…but…I think you're really gonna want to buy a new one." He handed me my hat, which was now burnt to singes, thanks to the Candlemon.
"The important thing is that you saved DemiVeemon! But thanks for trying to save my hat any way!"
"Ok, here's the plan! We're gonna distract the Candlemon and spirit evolve, giving the others a chance to hide safely, 'kay?" I nodded in agreement with his plan.
"Ok, little buddy, get in my backpack and stay there ok? And don't come out unless I say for you to!" I explained to the baby Digimon before placing him in my backpack.
"Ok, lets go!"
We got of the river and put the plan into action, and started running.
"Hey, I see two of 'em!" one of the Candlemon shouted.
"Get them!" the other one shouted. They quickly caught up to us.
"LAVA LOOGIE!"
Takuya and I had our D-tector's in our hands, running away from the flame heads.
"C'mon help me out here!" Takuya shouted at his D-tector. For me, it was easy.
"Time to show these flame headed freaks what we're made of!" I shouted. The blue colored data started to swirl around my hand. But before I could mange to scan it, Takuya fell, and dropped his D-tector.
"OH NO! MY D-TECTOR!"
"TAKUYA!" I shouted as I saw the Candlemon catching up to us again. Takuya noticed this and jumped and grabbed his D-tector. He landed on both feet and D-tector in hand.
"SPIRIT EVOLUTION TIME!"
The blue data encircled both of our hands as we scanned it.
"EXECUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" Takuya became totally incased in data.
"EXECUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" Now I had been incased in the data.
"AGUNINMON!"
"ANGEWOMON!"
The others immediately started cheering for us as they saw two of the legendary warriors appear.
"YAY AGUNIMON!"
"GO ANGEWOMON!"
"YEA, SHOW EM WHO'S BOSS!"
"LAVA LOOGIE!"
"I SUMMON THE PYRO TORNADO!" Agunimon shouted, becoming engulfed in flames. He shot the attack at the Candlemon, but it only knocked them back, not leaving any damage what so ever.
"Wha-?!" Agunimon gasped.
"Are you crazy?! Fire attacks wont work on Candlemon! You should know that!" I shouted, nearly dodging another series of on coming lava loogies.
"Hmph, I think its to douse the lights around here! Celestial arrow!"
"LAVA LOOGIE!" The Candlemon aimed the attack at the arrow of light, and it burnt it to ashes.
"Wha-!" I couldn't believe they burnt my arrow to ashes!
"ARGHHHHH!" The Candlemon were using some type of flamethrower move on Agunimon, encasing him in flames. He had his arms in a shield mode, but it wasn't helping.
"NO! AGUNIMON!" I shouted as I flew down to help him.
I saw the Candlemon spinning around very quickly.
"PARAFFIN PARALYZER!" It shouted, as what looked like candle wax came flying towards me and Agunimon.
Some of it landed on Agunimon.
"That stuff hurts! AHHHHH!" He shouted as more of it landed on him, and landed on me.
"OWW!!!!!!!!MY WINGS!" Some of the wax landed on my wings, and it was burning! Now I know why parents always tell their kids not to play with candle wax.
"KYAHHHHH!" The wax had hardened and Agunimon couldn't move.
More of it landed on me and this time it really hurt!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! GET IT OFF ME!" I screamed out in pain as the stuff hardened on my wings and my body. I fell out of mid-air and landed- no, more like fell- out of the sky and hit the ground extremely hard.
"I- I cant move anything!" Agunimon exclaimed.
"HANG ON TAKUYA AND LILLY! IM COMIN!" I looked up to see Tommy running towards us. He jumped into the river and took off his hat and filled it with water. He threw it at the Candlemon.
"Lights out, 'ya meanies!" It hit the Candlemon and caused them to move back a little. "I wont be, just a little kid in the way!"
Then out of nowhere, a bright light shot up out of the sky, and something glided in front of Tommy. It was a spirit! Suddenly, the river turned to ice!
"EXECUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" Tommy shouted as he became encased in data. A giant snow bear appeared in his place. "KUMAMON!
"It's Kumamon, the legendary warrior of ice!" Bokomon exclaimed.
"Time to teach you bullies a lesson! CRYSTAL BREEZE!" Kumamon shouted, his attack freezing one of the Candlemon.
"Hey, there teddy bear! You want a playmate? HACHA!" the other Candlemon started spinning around in a flaming circle, which suddenly became surrounded in strips of data. Candlemon, was digivolving!
Now, in what used to be Candlemons place, was a Digimon that had a staff in his hand, and wore a wizard hat.
"Who's that?" I asked aloud
"That's Wizardmon. This mysterious champion level Digimon can make you disappear with his Electro Squall and magic game attacks." Bokomon said, answering my question. When he mentioned that Wizardmon could make you disappear, I was pretty sure he didn't mean when a magician makes you disappear.
"CRYSTAL BREEZE!"
"Take off teddy!" Wizardmon shouted, while dodging Kumamons attack, kicking him square in the chest, knocking Kumamon back several feet.
"KUMAMON!" Agunimon and I shouted, as Wizardmon landed in front of us, and cackled evilly.
"Looks like the great Agunimon has a problem with waxy build up! How about a little magical game? TA-TA!" and with that, Wizardmon disappeared into thin air.
Agunimon broke out of the hardened wax, along with me.
"That was weird…" Kumamon, who was still on the ground said.
I could hear footsteps coming from around us. But each time I turned, there was nothing there. Agunimon growled in frustration, being as this stupid game was getting on our nerves, and fast.
"HAHAHAHAH! UP HERE! I know lets play catch!" Out of nowhere, Wizardmon attacked, sending a lightning bolt towards Takuya. Luckily, he dodged it in time, but it hit me instead.
"ARHHHHHHGHHHHH!" I screamed out in pain as soon as the bolt had hit me, causing me to fall to the ground once more, but instead this time, I de-digivolved.
"LILLY!" I heard Agunimon shout. I looked over in time to see him dodge another bolt from Wizardmon.
"Not bad legendary warrior! But I've got plenty up my sleeve!" Just then, a whole bunch of Wizardmons appeared, circling Takuya in.
"No….Takuya…." I muttered weakly, before passing out.
The last thing I saw was Wizardmon attacking Takuya once more.
I woke up to the sound of people talking quietly. When I opened my eyes, I saw everything moving around me, but I wasn't walking. It freaked me out so I kinda screamed.
"OW! That was my ear you just shouted in." I heard Takuya mutter angrily.
"Oops! Sorry…" I muttered, hugging him apologetically, "So, you mind telling me what I did to myself this time that made you have give me another piggyback ride?" I asked him. I swear that one of theses days, he's just gonna throw out his back from carrying me on his back all the time!
"Wizardmon hit you with one his attacks, and well….you sorta de-digivoled and passed out from exhaustion." Oh. I remember now.
"Oh….did ya' get him though?" I asked Takuya, who gave me his famous toothy grin.
"Yep! Piece of cake!" I laughed at his description of how easy it was. I knew it was extremely hard, but I let him have his moment.
"So, im guessing, and just guessing, that Wizardmon held the fractal code for the tracks…or am I wrong?"
"Good guess! Yep, so now we're crossing the tracks!"
"Good!" I yawned involuntarily. I was still pretty tired.
Takuya chuckled quietly. "Lilly, go back to sleep. You earned some well deserved rest."
"Ok….and Takuya?"
"Yea?"
"Thank you…."
And with that, I fell asleep once more.
