Kingdom Digimon part 6

"The Truth Hurts,"

(Nobody's POV)

I was walking in a bright place. Everything I see is white except for me, and it feels like the sun is right behind me. I felt weird with all this around. My footsteps echoed through the empty room. I don't even know if I'm going anywhere because the room seems endless. The more I walk however the weaker I get. My footsteps get heavier, and it gets harder to breath. This light is killing me. I eventually collapse to my hands and knees coughing my face towards the ground. It feels like someone just put something in my throat making it impossible to breath. Suddenly I hear another set of footsteps. What irritated me was how calm, and nonchalant they were. Its as if the person doesn't see me suffocating. Eventually the footsteps stop in front of me. I look up to see a tall person with a black coat on. I can barley see under his hood, but it doesn't look like a face at all.

"You seem distressed,"

"Y-y-you…figured…t-that…" I didn't have the breath to finish the witty comment.

"It would seem the light is your poison,"

He bends down then touches the top of my head. His hand is surprisingly warm. I find out why when it feels like thousands of volts started flowing through me. Then everything goes dark.

"AAH!" I yelled sitting back up.

I was struggling to get my breath back under my control. My head was covered in sweat. My body ached too. It was like the dream was real, but that can't be…could it? I eventually start coughing with all the air I'm trying to suck in at the same time. Someone then starts to pat me on the back gently back sternly. I calm down then look at the person. It was Mimi!

"You feel better now?"

"Y-Yes…t-thanks,"

"Glad I could help. I guess you and T.K. both have nightmares in common,"

"So…he had nightmares too," She nods.

I place my head in my hands trying to calm down and regain my composure. It took a couple of deep breaths for me to finally calm down.

"Would you like to talk about it?" she asked.

"…"

"I might be able to help,"

"…I doubt you could understand it because I barley do. I was walking in a white room when I started to suffocate. This guy in black came over to me saying 'the light is my poison' then he electrocutes me until I pass out or woke up,"

"Well you and T.K. seems to both be stuck on these black coat guys,"

I gave her an annoyed look. I didn't want to hear T.K.'s problems I wanted a solution to mine. However she did point out one thing, it would seem T.K.'s problems have been passed on to me. I wasn't sure what I should do. I have no idea what's going on or how to figure this out. Frustration was quickly starting to consume me. It seemed like the one thing that could help was I would need to talk to this T.K., but it's impossible because I wouldn't even know where to begin looking. Then I got an idea.

"When was the last time T.K. was around?"

"Well hmmm oh when he got his crest at least I think,"

"You think?"

"Well I wasn't really sure what was going on,"

"Good enough," I said turning to walk into the cave.

At the entrance Tokomon is just sitting there. When I walked up I stopped, and we looked at each other for a moment. I continued on into the cave. He didn't say anything to me, and I didn't say anything to him he just got up and followed. I wasn't bothered by what he did, but I was a little curious why. I would talk to the little pink blob later though. When I walked inside I saw Matt and Gabumon.

"Morning sleepy head," Gabumon gretted.

"Sleepy head?" I responded.

"Yeah you were sleeping the longest out of everyone. At first we thought you would never wake up. We assumed last night must of tuckered you out,"

"I guess," I reached in my pocket and pulled out the crest thing. I blinked a couple of times… I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. The crest looked like the two swords I fought with last night. They were crossed in an X on the black surface of the crest.

I don't think it was like that before last night, but I don't really remember. Great another mystery I would have to solve. Better get started somewhere.

I started to once again look over the code. This code has something to do with all this. If I wanted answers this was the first place to look. Matt and Gabumon watched with interest.

"You sure you want to mess with that again after last night?" Matt asked. I didn't need is concern or in his thoughts.

"It wasn't anything I couldn't handle,"

"Yeah, but you could be pushing you luck,"

"Where are the others?" I quickly changed the subject.

"They went inside that pyramid outside to see if they could save that digimon that is trapped inside,"

I chuckled.

"What so funny?" Gabumon asked. I think he really wanted to know so he could laugh too.

"How dumb an idea that was,"

"Huh?" Gabumon obviously didn't get what was so funny.

"Who would go and rescue someone they didn't know? You guys need to lay off those false stories,"(He means Fairy Tales)

"Well he said he could help us and…" Matt started.

"And you believed that!" I stopped what I was doing to turn to them.

"Well why wouldn't we?" Mimi asked getting bored outside and secretly listening to the conversation.

"The question is why would you. You couldn't go on anything else other then his word. There's so much flawed thinking in that. Were you all born this way, I really hope not,"

"Hey, what right do you have to judge us!" Matt was now upset. I wasn't upset it was just too funny.

"I guess your right after all everything's going to work for you guys. You're the good guys," I chuckled again as I turned to observe a different part of the code.

They left me after that, but Tokomon stayed.

"That was mean," he finally said. That was probably his first words to me.

"Well sometimes the truth is harsh and no one wants to hear it,"

"You shouldn't have laughed at them though,"

"Yeah maybe but I couldn't help it,"

"I didn't like it,"

"You haven't told me I was wrong yet," he was quiet. At this I turned to him.

"You agree with me don't you?"

"Y-yes…" he said reluctantly.

"Then why do you feel bad about it then? Because we're here that means were safe. Those guys risked their lives in vain. If you've got something to say then you should feel proud to say it, especially if you can see the bigger picture. Things don't just come to you, you have to go and get it," I was surprised how easy it was to talk to Tokomon.

After that he was silent. He was probably thinking on what he has just heard. I decided to leave him be and continue to study this code. A few minutes later the others had returned, with their heads low. They told us that the one they went to save had taken Sora and Biyomon. Everyone was both shocked and sad, but Tai looked the most depressed.

I tried to hide it, but soon I started to laugh. It was too hard to stop or to hide. I took a deep breath then tried to center myself.

"What's so funny!?" Tai almost barked at me. I gave him a glance and a smile.

"Nothing," I said as my hand continued to travel over the code. Tai then came over then grabbed the wrist. He squeezed it I guess trying to make me uncomfortable or something.

"Please I need a laugh!"

"Well I think the whole fact that you trusted a complete stranger, and thought everything would work out. I laugh because of the ignorance you showed,"

Tai obviously didn't find it as funny as I did. He dropped my arm then grabbed my collar bringing me to his level. Some yelled for him to stop before he hurts me. Some just looked at Matt like he would come to my rescue. No such luck.

"You have no right to judge anybody! You're just like your name Nobody! You mean nothing to us, and the only reason your still around is because your in T.K.'s body!"

I just looked at him. My face showed no sadness, remorse, or even anger. My mouth was a flat line as I look back at him. I thought there would be more, but he was done. I could tell he felt good 'cause he thinks he hurt my feelings or something.

"…What you trying to make me feel bad? Are trying to shock me, by saying what everybody else is thinking? Don't you think I already know that? It's true yeah, and I agree. I'm trying to get out of here just like your trying to get rid of me,"

I slapped his hands off my collar then dropped back to the floor on my feet.

"The truth hurts more when you deny it so I don't. I can only guess it was your fault that whoever took Sora got away. Since you need her on your team I think the best thing you can do is suck it up and try to get her back tomorrow," I said turning back to the code.

"Y-You…" Tai then started to cry. I only glanced at him. He thinks he has it rough heh he has no idea. Try waking up in someone else's body and being endowed with their problems. I think what he's going through is a cake walk. I don't have time to worry about their problems when I have some of my very own. The others left afterwards. I didn't pay them any mine though.

"I don't think that was nice either," Tokomon said sitting next to where I was standing.

"Everything can't be nice,"

"You were too blunt,"

"He gets it now so I don't think you have to worry. Besides I think I got this code all figured out,"

"How did you?"

"I wasn't just staring at the code because it was something to do. I know now that this crest reacts to each piece of code differently. If I can arrange it in a certain way I might be able to…make something happen,"

"You don't know what'll happen?"

"I don't have any idea what could happen,"

I walk over to a spot on the wall I was looking at. I closed my eyes then opened them. I could see the code rearranging itself. I hold up the crest then it began to glow a dark glow. Then suddenly darkness began to gather at that spot on the wall, until it began to swirl together. I didn't know what it was. I reached out to touch it when my hand went inside. I quickly pull it back. I was about to step inside I saw a light inside the dark swirl. It struck the crest then a dark light came out the crest into the portal vice versa. Then it closed. I had no idea what happened, but at least it was something. Tokomon sighed happy nothing blew up.

I took a look at the crest I in my hand. I was shocked to see it changed again! It looked like the sun was shining down on something. I was really annoyed at how this thing kept changing. I still wonder what it means. I guess I'll know sooner or later. I wished things weren't so difficult. These digidestined will get on my nerves actually they already have. Things just didn't look well me for and I hoped they would get better.

(A few digital months after the battle between Etemon and Metal Greymon)

I sat in the circle with the others with my knees to my chest. Everyone was fast asleep except me. It wasn't like I wasn't tired heck I was exhausted. My nightmares kept getting worse and worse. It has gotten to the point it's robbing me of my sleep. Bags were developing under my eyes, and my eyes are even emptier if that is possible. My strength is leaving me during the day, and there is no way they would stop for me. I felt myself slowing, but surly slipping into a state of despair. The fact that I didn't know anymore about who I was or where I came from, and that I haven't gotten any answers after all this time is very discouraging. Traveling with these guys wasn't helping at all, and they didn't even know where they were going. The best course of action would be if I left them, but where would I go? Until I came up with an answer I would stay, but staying around just meant that everyone else wanted to go their own way.

They hated me. I knew it, and it was clear. They felt uncomfortable under my stare. They felt it was my fault we didn't know what to do. They were falling apart, and the fact I showed no…uh what was the word they used…I think it was sympathy. Well no matter how bad things got I didn't show any…that word. First to leave was Sora. She left during the night. She told me to keep quiet and she would be back. I knew she didn't really mean it. Why would she want to come back? Then Izzy, later Joe and then Mimi. They all left leaving me with Matt. I say no point for us to stick together, but we did.

We ended up in an amusement park Matt called it. I didn't know what it was, but I saw no point in being here. Matt said he would take a look around in a boat. He told me to stay put. I thought it was funny and ironic because he ended up leaving me behind. As soon as he was out of sight I turned to leave this dreadful place when Tokomon stopped me.

"Where are you going Matt said to stay put,"

"I don't care," I said about to walk past him.

"I do your staying like Matt said,"

"Who put you in charge of me?"

"I did!"

"Well have fun with that then,"

"Your not leaving!"

"Why don't you go swim after Matt and tattle on me then?" I hoped something big and hungry would see him. GGGRRRR I hated using that word… hope. It was stupid and pointless.

"Your so mean you're nothing like T.K.!"

"Good cause it sounds like this T.K. was soft and pathetic!"

"Don't you talk about T.K. like that. He was… no he is just like you,"

I started to growl at him. I hated those words and he knew it!

"Hey what's with all the noise?" came another voice. We both stopped fighting to see another digimon fly up to us.

"And you are?"

"Names Demidevimon at your service,"

"Really…then maybe you can fly over the river here then tell this boy with a Gabumon I'm leaving,"

"Well if I can help then sure I'll pass it on," he flew away. I decided to wait and hear what he would say. He came back shortly.

"I don't know how to say it nicely…"

"Just say what he said then," I didn't have time for that.

"Well he said…good then go get lost you dome brat. He said he didn't really like you that much and you should go back to where you came from,"

"…I guess I'll take that as a 'okay'," Finally satisfied I turned to leave.

"How could you believe that! Isn't it obvious he's lying?"

"I don't care besides its probably true anyway,"

"You don't know that,"

"I do know that. They all hate me, and they don't want me around. They left to find a place far from me. My presence offends them. I know it and don't say it isn't true,"

"But you and T.K…." I cut him off right when I heard that name.

"I'm tired of being compared to him just because I'm in his body. Since you miss him so much here take his junk! It doesn't work for me otherwise you would of digivolved," I yelled throwing the digivice and crest to the ground. Traveling was out of the question in my current state. I could only worry about me, since that's the only person I can rely on.

"I'm going to rest for a while. You can do whatever you want. When I wake up I'm leaving. Its up to you if you want to stay or follow,"

I turned and walked off as Tokomon began to cry. I only glanced at him like I did to the others. I was too tired for this. Demidevimon followed me with a smirk. Like I said I am too tired to deal with it. Later things would get sorted out.
