AN- Chapter 9 and 10 have fun reading! Also I'd like to thank Taeniaea for being the first person to comment on this story. Thanks Taeniaea, you made my day!
Chapter 9- Race and New Home
We went our separate ways, but before Selene was out of sight I said "Guys the digiport Selene came it was opened in my bedroom, so I will just go back with her." "Okay by Ken." Stingmon grabbed me and we flew to catch up with Selene and Panthermon. She walked through a clearing in the forest as we flew over. She looked up and smiled. "Who's the fastest now?" I yelled down to her. She smiled and quickly transformed to meet us up in the air. She was laughing the whole time. "You up for a rematch?" she asked Stingmon. "Any time." "Okay same as last time, first one back, no attacking." I nodded and she said "Ready, set, go!" We shot forward, Selene just behind us. She started gaining until she was in front. She turned around and said "Bye!" Then she went streaking forward. "C'mon Stingmon!" He nodded and we flew up cutting her off. "Hey!" She cut us off and I said "That's not fair!" We continued doing this until I saw Panthermon whisper something in Selene's ear. She laughed and turned around. "What are you doing?" I yelled. "Winning!" Then it hit me, we hadn't been paying attention and missed the digiport. I laughed and we turned around too.
Kari
"Guys the digiport Selene came it was opened in my bedroom, so I will just go back with her." Ken said. "Okay bye Ken." Stingmon picked him up and they flew after her, Ken really liked her. But I could tell he hadn't admitted it. I heard loud laughter and I hopped on Neferitimon's back. We went up out of the trees and I saw Selene and Stingmon flying near each other but then Stingmon cut Selene off. She flew up and cut him off. I laughed as I watched them flying together repeating this pattern. I smiled and then Selene turned around and flew back the way they had come. Then she went down. I laughed; they hadn't been paying attention and missed the digiport. "They love each other don't they Nefertimon, why else would Ken act like that around her. He doesn't act comfortable around us even though we have been friends for almost a year. But with her, he's a different person." "You're right, I don't think Stingmon is in love though, I think he just likes Panthermon." I nodded and we went to catch up with the others.
Selene
I put my d3 to the TV and went back to the real world. I had just transformed back to normal when Ken and Wormmon came through. "Still can't beat me." I said while brushing dirt off my clothes. "It wasn't fair, we both missed the digiport. You just realized it sooner. Admit it you were having a hard time keeping up with us." Ken replied. I laughed "You wish, from the looks of it, it seemed like Stingmon 'one of the fast digimon' was having trouble keeping up with me." I said jokingly. He laughed but then got serious "Selene, I want you to stay here. Now that your one of the digidestined, you need to stay here. Digimon can't be out of the digital world for too long, that's why we go everyday if we can." I looked at the ground and said "The computers in Magix are much more advanced than the ones here. So I probably couldn't open a digiport there any way. Good thing I was planning on staying here on earth." He smiled but then got serious again "I meant I want you to stay here." He gestured to the ground. He wanted me to stay at his house. "Oh Ken I couldn't do that to your poor mother." "She loves you." He responded. "Not as much as she loves you." I said pointedly. He looked me in the eyes and said "Please just consider it. Where else would you stay? The roof?" that gave me and idea. "Yes that is exactly where I am going to stay." I said proudly. He got an extremely confused look on his face. "How will you stay on the roof? You can't just sleep out in the open on the concrete." "I won't. C'mon I'll show you." I took his hand and went onto the balcony. I transformed and flew us up to the roof. I set him, Wormmon, and Malakaimon down. I closed my eyes and envisioned a clear dome-like structure appear. When I opened them I saw the building in a blueprint like form. Just lines and shapes. Ken gasped and said "Is it there?" "No this is just the plan. Right now only me, you, and our digimon can see it. Using magic I could maybe have it built in a week. Oh also I would put a cloaking spell on it so that only people I want to see it can see it. This way I can still live here in Tokyo and be, um within walking distance of someone familiar." I bit my lip, I didn't want to say near him because that would seem like I loved him or something. But was that the truth, did I love him? I shook the thought out of my head. Focus Selene, building a house. He looked at the ground, probably embarrassed by what I had said. He looked at me and said "You know if we had everyone else help us it wouldn't take as long to build it. Or is it something that only magic can do?" he said 'us' that meant he planned on helping me, and not just leaving me to make it. "Well I'm not sure, I guess it would be faster than if I did it alone. And I could just make the main structure and then you guys could help me do the rest." I thought about it for a second and then said "Yeah that would work. I guess I'll stay here until it's done, but as soon as my house is done, I am moving up here." "Deal." He said happily. "But I see one problem." I gave him a confused look and he continued "Won't people notice if there is construction equipment on top of the building? And the building being made?" "Easy solution." I turned to the blueprint and waved my hands, the area around the roof started shimmering and I said "You see the shimmering around the whole roof?" He nodded. "That's the cloaking spell, for anyone other than the digidestined and my fairy friends it will look like the roof. But for us we will see the dome." "Okay that will work, but how are you going to build it? Wood and metal don't bend into a dome shape." He told me. I sighed and thought about a solution. Then it hit me "Okay you might not like this but materials from where I come from can build domes easily. So I'm going to have to open a portal and somehow either sneak stuff through or get permission from someone. We might have to contact my friend. The one you saw yesterday." "Is she nice? And is that guy your boyfriend?" Ken asked carefully. "Anakin? My boyfriend! No, no, no he is my friend's, Roxy's boyfriend. We are just friends. Speaking of Anakin, he could help us build too." I yawned, how could I be tired? I didn't get tired. Ken laughed at my surprise and said "Why don't we worry about it tomorrow? C'mon let's go have dinner." I smiled and nodded, taking his hand. We walked in the kitchen and I saw Kari and a digimon.
Chapter 10- New Problems
Bloom
"Girls I know where she is." I said to my friends. Flora, Stella, and Musa looked ecstatic Layla and Techna looked surprised, but Roxy looked worried. "Roxy what's wrong?" I asked. She looked guilty and said "Nothing. Nothing's wrong. I was just hoping that she's okay." I smiled and Stella said "So let's go get her. What are we waiting for?" I sighed and said "I don't think we should go right now. Vanessa told me where she went. Selene had stayed with my parents for a while. She told them her reason for leaving. Now that I know why, I understand why she left. If I had been in her place I probably would have done the same thing. I feel bad for making her feel the way I did. I wish I could apologize." Roxy looked like she got an idea and said "Girls I think I'm going to take Anakin to meet my mom tomorrow. So we might be gone the whole day." I had a feeling there was a different reason that she wanted to leave.
Ken
Kari and Gatomon were sitting at my kitchen table when Selene and I walked in. She looked happy as always, Gatomon looked a bit worried and anxious. "Hey Kari what's going on?" I asked confused. She smiled and said "I need to talk to you guys; your mom let me in." I nodded and said "Let's go to my room." I had a feeling this was going to involve the digital world. We walked together and both Selene and Malakaimon looked at Gatomon in confusion. I closed the door behind us and said "We're going back aren't we." Kari replied "Maybe. What I wanted to tell you was earlier, I told Gatomon to stay in the digital world to make sure the Slugmon got all settled in." Gatomon interrupted her and said "They told me that a group of Mermaidmon were acting strange and it looked like the Queen Mermaidmon of the group had a dark ring around her tail, but it had odd markings on it." I flinched at the mention of the dark ring. It was my creation, when I was the digimon emperor I had used them to enslave the digimon. Selene saw me flinch and said "So what do we do?" Kari sighed and said "We should go to the digital world and check it out; I was thinking that maybe the markings were something we could recognize and find out who is remaking the rings." I nodded and walked to my computer. "Selene you ready for your first real mission?" She smiled and said "Of course, I was born ready." I laughed and opened the digi-port.
Selene
The familiar feeling of going through the digi-port made me realize that I was one of them now. I was a fairy but I was also digidestined. We landed in a forest that didn't look familiar. "Is this where we came earlier?" I asked. "No, I set it to go near the beach where the Slugmon probably saw the Mermaidmon. It's just through here." I set Panthermon down and followed Ken and Kari through the trees. A huge beach appeared and we walked to the top of a cliff. "Look down there." Kari said. I followed her gaze and saw a bunch of Mermaidmon, but they looked mean. One of them had red eyes. It dove under the waves and I saw a black ring just above the fin at the base of its tale. "Is that the dark ring?" I asked worriedly. Ken gulped and said "sadly yes. The Queen Mermaidmon has a dark ring." "Then why are the rest of them acting odd, that's the only ring that I can see?" I said. "Mermaidmon have one leader in each group, the queen. Whatever the queen does, the rest will do. Whoever made the ring only needed the one." Ken said. "What about the markings? We can't see them from up here." Kari asked. "I'll go down and take a look; if I can't recognize it then I'll fly one of you down." They nodded and I transformed. "Be right back." I flew down and tried to find the queen. Then out of nowhere I was shot into the cliff face. The Mermaidmon attacked me! "SELENE!" Ken yelled. I looked up and saw him peering over the edge looking for me. "I'm okay." I said as I pried myself off the rocks. "I'm going to turn myself invisible so they can't see me. Don't worry that one just caught me off guard." "Okay be careful." They said. I took a deep breath and said "New Moon." I carefully went back down and looked for the ring. I saw a glimpse of black out of the corner of my eye. I turned around and followed the shape through the water. The digimon flipped its tail and I saw the mark. I gasped and flew as fast as I could back to my friends. "Full moon." They gasped when I appeared. "I recognize it." I said panting with fear. "And?" Ken asked. "It's his mark, Baltor's." Kari looked confused and said "who's Baltor?" I sighed and said "The wizard who made me evil." I heard a loud sound, like an electric charge. Then an evil laugh. I turned slowly and saw him. "Baltor." I whispered. "Miss me Selene? I see the Winx didn't want you around so you got some new friends." "They would never do that. I left on my own. How did you get here?" I said menacingly. He chuckled and said "You of all people should realize the Ancestral Witches' power. I was the only one who is able to leave the dark dimension your spell banished us to, so they gave me most of their magic. I found this world by chance; some of the locals were more than willing to help me when they heard I wanted to destroy the human that killed one of them." "Arukenimon." I whispered. He smiled and said "Yes Selene. I have new allies that are very powerful. One of them showed me a broken black metal ring. With my help they made a new one and put it on those mermaids down there. When combined with my dark mark, it increases the rings power. Not even your Enchantix fairy dust can break its spell." I shot a blast at him, but he dodged it. "Selene what do we do?" Ken asked. "Digivolve but we probably won't be able to defeat him by ourselves. Call the others, maybe we can hold him off until they arrive." He nodded and I attacked again. "What about me?" Panthermon asked. "Panthermon, I want to let you help but until you can digivolve, you're vulnerable." She looked upset and Ken said "They learn to digivolve by saving their human partner. Technically you have to be in danger for her to be able to digivolve." I sighed and said "Fine, but if you get hurt, none of you can come yelling at me for letting her fight." They nodded and we all attacked.
Ken
Selene, Stingmon, Nefertimon, and Panthermon went at the evil wizard. Selene was in the front, she had a bone to pick with this guy. Our digimon barely got a chance to attack, Selene would shoot a blast, Baltor would dodge it, he would shoot, Selene would dodge it or protect herself. Stingmon went around behind the man and prepared to attack, then I heard Baltor say "No more games, I'm going to finish this now." His hair flew up around him and his eyes glowed bright red. Selene didn't even flinch. Baltor began to make a ball of energy in his hands, it got larger and larger until he was about to shoot it at her. Selene's face moved like she was smiling then she yelled "FURY OF THE DARK DRAGON!" They fired at the same time. Selene flew back and fell to the ground, with her eyes closed. Stingmon moved just in time before Baltor was shot in the opposite direction. I ran to Selene. Her eyes were closed and I couldn't tell if she was breathing. Just then the others came running in. "We came as soon as we could." Yolei said. TK looked at Selene and said "What happened?" Kari then sadly said "The man that made her evil attacked us, she and him both used I guess their most powerful attacks on each other. The man was shot that way." She pointed the way Baltor had gone. "Is she okay?" Cody asked. "I'm not sure; we have to get her back to the real world. Maybe we can contact her friends from the other day." I said. They nodded and helped me pick her up. "Let me take her." Nefertimon said. Panthermon leapt onto Neferitimon's back and licked Selene's hand as we walked back to the digiport.
