Digital Dream 6 Devimon

"Hey, that's Andromon's factory! I'll bet we can get him to help us down to the sewer system so we can get to Infinity Mountain quicker!"

"Andromon?"

"A Perfect Level Digimon that maintains the factory we can see there. He's extremely intelligent and kind."

"But we should be careful. There might be a black gear here as well."

"Who's behind it though? The Black Gears."

"A Virus Type named Devimon. He pisses me off to no end. All of you should have one of these crests as well, but I only managed to get mine before he hid the rest somewhere."

"What?"

"So…our Digimon could also…?"

"Evolve to the next level, yes. However, we need the Crests to do that. Anyways, let's head down there and see if Andromon will help us out."

"Sure!" We hurry into the factory and look around.

"Hey look! A house!"

"We can sleep in real beds!"

"And eat real food!" We hurry into the house. It's been a while that they've been here. About a month and a half.

"Smells good!"

"Baths!"

"Minako-sensei! Come on!"

"Come on, Aquamon!" I shake my head and head to the dining room with the guys. Aquamon, however, heads upstairs with the other girls.

"Minako-sensei, you're not going upstairs?"

"Yea. I figured you'd rush to the bath with the others, Mina-oneesan."

"I still don't understand how you guys are siblings. I mean, I understand Takeru-kun and Minako-sensei…"

"It's okay. I'm Takeru and Yamato's step sister."

"So…"

"This food looks great. I wonder if it will be okay to eat it."

"There's no one here but us, so it should be fine."

"And it smells really good."

"Itadakimasu!" We dig in, effectively changing the subject.

"This is too good to be real!"

"I never thought that food could taste this good!" Too good…I stop eating and pull off my backpack.

"Sensei?" I shake my head and go upstairs, to a bedroom with a single bed. I open my backpack and pull out some food. I eat and instantly feel like I'm not hungry anymore. I felt hungry, even though I was eating all that food. When I finish eating, I head to the bath and step in.

"There you are, Sensei. What took so long? Did you take a side trip to the dining room?" I nod.

"Don't eat the food in the dining room. I think that most of this is probably an illusion of some sort. The building is real, and the bath and the beds are real, but the food isn't. I have food in my backpack that we can eat. I'm going to tell the guys shortly."

"Why would the food be an illusion though? If everything else is real, then why just the food?"

"I…don't know."

"Then the food here will be good enough." I sigh and sink into the tub. They have their own ideas, and when there isn't proof against those ideas, it's hard to sway them. Kids.

"This is great."

"Gomamon?! Get on the boys side!" I sit up and see Gomamon flying into the other side of the bath.

"It's kind of strange, don't you think? We're all in elementary school, and Sensei is…well, Sensei."

"Maybe someone thought it would be a good idea for there to be an adult with us?"

"Probably Jyou-sempai." I move to the other side of the bath and sulk. I'm only 23. I'm not a kid like these guys. Why did I have to be here with them? And I've been here for so long…the only thing about me that's changed is the length of my hair. They'd probably even be able to handle themselves without me and Aquamon. They're having a good time, for once. I was getting tired of hearing Mimi complain about silly things. And Jyou is pretty reliable when it comes to important things. I think that I should leave them alone.

I get out of the bath and head into the next room to dry off and get dressed. I pull out my computer when I get to the room I left my stuff in and pull up my map of the island. I marked all of the different villages on the island and search around the base of the mountain.

"Something wrong, Minako?"

"This house isn't on our map."

"Maybe we didn't see it when we were mapping out the island?"

"No. I think it's more than that. I ate some of the food in the dining room, but I still felt hungry. I ate some of the food I have with me in my bag and I felt better. There's something up with this place."

"You're just sensitive to stuff that's out of the ordinary. This place is fine. Let's get some sleep huh." I nod and we lay down, falling asleep quickly.

"Ogremon! It's Ogremon!" I bolt upright and get out of the bed, putting my shoes on and hurrying out to the hall.

"Yagami! Be careful." I look over at the sound of laughter and recognize Devimon.

"You…"

"Agumon!"

"It won't work. Aquamon, wake up everyone else." Oh dear. The house disappears, leaving ruins in its place. Leomon is here as well. And I can tell that he's still under the influence of Devimon and his dark powers. Oh. I push Yagami out of the way of an attack and look for a way across to the others. If we get split up, I have to make sure that either I or Yamato end up being with Takeru. I don't care what is being said, I just have to protect my brothers. The beds start floating and the girls freak out.

"Minako!" There's an empty bed…I grab my digivice and hold it towards Leomon. It starts glowing and he recoils as the dark energy is repelled. I nod slightly and climb onto the rail.

"Aquamon! Evolve!"

"Okay! Aquamon Super-evolve! Pteradactylmon!" I jump off the rail as she flies under me and land on her back. "The island is breaking up." I nod and sit up.

"The others are getting split up. Yamato-kun and Gabumon will be okay, but Takeru-chan and Patamon are the youngest and the only ones that haven't evolved even once. Follow them."

"Okay." I spot Takeru and point.

"There!"

"On it!" We fly towards Takeru.

"Takeru-chan! Patamon!"

"Onee-san?!" The bed he's on speeds up as we get closer and I frown. "Onee-san! Onii-san!"

"Takeru!" I look towards Yamato.

"Yamato-kun! Gabumon! Don't worry! Come on, Pteradactylmon. We can't lose him."

"I know. I'm flying as fast as I can."

"Keep up the good work."

"Sensei! Look out!" Huh? I look back and gasp.

"Pteradactylmon! Fly higher! There's something coming at us!" She looks back and gasps.

"I'm not going to be able to dodge it that easily. It's moving too fast."

"Please, at least try." She nods and starts climbing. I don't know what it was, but it hits. "Agh!" The impact knocks me into the air, off of Pteradactylmon.

"Minako!" I tumble towards the water and gasp. If I hit the water from this height, the impact will kill me. I can't protect Takeru if I'm dead! I manage to get my bearings and hit the water with the tips of my fingers, diving in. I surface and manage to stay afloat. "Minako! Minako!" I lift a hand and wave.

"Pteradactylmon! Over here!"

"Minako?!" She can't see me…oh. There's an island nearby. I swim to the shore of that island and spot some drift wood. I build a fire and dig out my flint. I start the fire and grab a large leave to get it going enough to make a signal.

"Pteradactylmon! Over here!" She lands and I run to her.

"There you are. I'm sorry I couldn't dodge that attack in time." I smile.

"I'm fine. You're not hurt are you?"

"No. I dodged it enough to keep from getting injured."

"That's good." I start coughing uncontrollably and double over at a pain in my chest.

"Minako?! Are you okay? Oy, Minako!" What's wrong with me?
