Episode 10- Keyleigh's Lesson
Odiver Elementary School
"Did you guys hear about Charlotte challenging the Digimon Empress?" Keyleigh asked as her and the others settled down for lunch.
"Yeah of course we heard" Kate answered.
"I can't believe her though" Keyleigh said pouting.
"Who the Digimon Empress or Charlotte?" Rebecca asked.
"Charlotte I can't believe she went off to the digital world and went and had a fight against the Digimon Empress without us" Keyleigh said pouting even more.
"She had her reasons for not involving us" Samantha said.
"Oh yeah like what Samantha?" Keyleigh asked giving Samantha a questioning eyebrow.
"Well…ermm…" Samantha stuttered.
"Samantha?" Keyleigh said. Samantha sighed realising the terrible mistake she had just made 'Charlotte is going to kill me' she thought.
"You see Charlotte didn't want to involve us because you see the Digimon Empress is her cousin" Samantha said. All the others stared at her in shock.
"Hold on do you mean Charlotte and Chihiro's cousin Jenny the one who goes to this school?" Chelsea asked. Samantha nodded.
"How long have you known?" Keyleigh asked.
"About a week" Samantha answered turning her head to the side.
"You knew and you didn't tell us?" Keyleigh shot at the older girl.
"Charlotte wanted me and Chihiro to keep it a secret" Samantha shot back.
"Chihiro knew about it as well and she didn't tell us either" Keyleigh shouted angrily.
"You really thought that Charlotte would keep it a secret from her little sister" Samantha said also raising her voice. The two girls stared at each other giving each other a death glare.
"Okay you two calm down!" Rebecca said.
"Yeah remember we are all supposed to be friends" Kate said.
"Well if we are all friends then we should tell each other everything and not keep secrets" Keyleigh muttered. By this point Samantha had enough and she slammed her hands down angrily on the table.
"Look Keyleigh Charlotte was only thinking about other people's safety so that's why she only told me and Chihiro but I guess you wouldn't understand that would you!" Samantha shouted angrily at Keyleigh before standing up, grabbing her tray and her bag and leaving the canteen.
"I'm going too" Keyleigh said after Samantha had left and she picked up her stuff and also left the canteen. The others watched them both leave and then sat there in silence.
"Do you still think there'll be coming to the digital world today?" Megan asked.
Ice Rock (Digital World)
On Mount Ice Rock stood a crystal glaciers castle.
"BioMerukimon I have just heard from the master that the Digimon Empress was defeated" a small plant like creature said.
"Well it looks like these digidestined are more powerful than I thought they were" a voice boomed.
"It looks like it's up to me to destroy those brats and unlike the Digimon Empress I will not fail" the voice boomed again.
"As soon as those brats step foot in the digital world I want you to send a Digimon out do you understand me BioAurumon?" the voice boomed once more.
"Of course BioMerukimon sir" the plant like creature said before bowing and leaving the room to plot for the digidestined arrival.
Computer Room Odiver Elementary School (Human World)
"Come on you two stop arguing!" Charlotte Wong said trying to stop Samantha and Keyleigh arguing again.
"Yeah come on we already have had to put up with this all through lunch and I don't intend to put up with it in the digital world as well" Alannah whined.
"Stay out of this!" Samantha and Keyleigh shot back in unison.
"Well sorry" Alannah muttered.
"Hey guys sorry I'm late" Chihiro shouted as she burst through the door with Betamon by her side.
"Don't worry Chihiro your not late we have just been trying to sort out a problem between Samantha and Keyleigh" Chelsea said.
"What problem?" Chihiro asked looking at the two older girls. Keyleigh then turned on the younger girl.
"Tell me something Chihiro have you known that the Digimon Empress was in fact your cousin longer than Samantha?" Keyleigh asked.
"Yeah" Chihiro replied.
"And you didn't tell us?" Keyleigh shot back at the younger girl.
"Well…well…" Chihiro stuttered.
"Well what Chihiro? Why didn't you tell us that you knew who the Digimon Empress was?" Keyleigh shouted angrily. Chihiro took a step back from Keyleigh and could feel hot tears forming in her eyes.
"Keyleigh stop it! If you want to pester me that's fine but pestering an eight year old girl that just stupid" Samantha said. But Keyleigh just completely ignored her and continued to question Chihiro.
"Well why didn't you tell us?" Keyleigh shouted.
"She didn't tell anyone because I told her not to tell" came a voice from behind Chihiro. Everyone turned to see Charlotte standing at the door with Agumon next to her.
"Charlotte" Chihiro said running over to her sister, flinging her arms around Charlotte's waist and burying her head in Charlotte's black top.
"Hey Charlotte" Samantha said greeting the brunette girl.
"How are you feeling? We heard you took a pretty bad beating" Megan said to the older girl.
"I'm okay I did take quite a beating but I'm okay because you see nothing can actually keep me down after all I am a Daimon" Charlotte said. The others continued to ask questions but Keyleigh just stood there.
"Stupid Daimon" Keyleigh whispered but unfortunately Charlotte heard it.
"If you want to say something Keyleigh say it to my face" Charlotte said not even turning to look at the other girl.
"You knew all along who the Digimon Empress was didn't you?" Keyleigh asked but Charlotte didn't answer she just stared down at the floor.
"Keyleigh don't you think that's enough?" Rebecca said coming over to the younger girl.
"Why are you all being so nice to her?" Keyleigh asked the others.
"What are you talking about Keyleigh? We are being nice because she's our friend" Samantha replied.
"Friend yeah right! She's no friend she keeps secrets from us and she betrayed us" Keyleigh shouted angrily. Samantha was about to say something back but Charlotte stopped her.
"That's enough" Charlotte said sternly.
"Look Keyleigh I'm sorry for not telling you guys but I couldn't bring myself to accept the fact that my own cousin was the Digimon Empress you would feel the same way if you knew that it was your cousin" Charlotte said sternly not even raising her head as she spoke.
"Your sorry - is that all you can say? You kept us in the dark! I bet you didn't even tell your own parents" Keyleigh shouted. Charlotte remained silent.
"I knew it! You even kept it from your own parents your no friend of ours and your not a Digidestined and to betray your own family as well! I guess that proves that you don't really love them" Keyleigh shouted.
Everyone gasped at what Keyleigh had just said but Charlotte still remained silent.
"What? It's all true she doesn't care about anyone she only cares about herself" Keyleigh said. By this point Charlotte was fuming and had decided she wasn't going to take this any longer. She pulled her little sister off of her and walked towards Keyleigh until she stood directly in front of her. She then raised her arm and slapped Keyleigh hard across the face.
"What was that for?" Keyleigh asked now rubbing her sore cheek.
"To knock some sense into you" Charlotte said before turning around and walking out of the door with Agumon close behind her.
"Charlotte wait up!" Chihiro shouted after her sister. The others just watched in silence.
"Well I think I'll be going as well" Samantha finally said picking up her bag.
"Me too" Kate said.
"Wait hold on aren't you coming to the digital world?" Keyleigh asked still rubbing her cheek but she got no answer as the two girls left the room ignoring her.
"Fine be that way! We'll go to the digital world without them" Keyleigh said crossing her arms firmly across her chest.
"Um… Keyleigh don't you think that was a little too much?" Charlotte Wong said as she watched Keyleigh. Keyleigh turned around to face Charlotte Wong and shouted angrily at her.
"So you're on their side too!"
"I'm not on anyone's side" Charlotte said lowering her head.
"Look Keyleigh all we are saying is don't you think you were a little harsh on Charlotte, Samantha and Chihiro? They didn't mean to keep us in the dark" Chelsea said. Keyleigh stared at her before turning towards the computer which had the portal on it. She walked forward and pulled out her turquoise D-power.
"Veemon come on" Keyleigh said.
"Um right" Veemon replied.
"Just a minute Keyleigh" Megan said grabbing Keyleigh's arm.
"You can't go to the digital world on your own" Megan said.
"And why not?" Keyleigh asked.
"Because if you're attacked then you can't defend yourself" Megan replied.
"But I've got Veemon" Keyleigh said.
"But Veemon can't digivolve" Megan said.
"I don't care I'm going to the digital world whether you like it or not" Keyleigh said pulling Megan's hand off her arm. Keyleigh then held up her D-power and in a flash she disappeared. Megan sighed in annoyance.
"Oh that idiot! Tentomon come on we're going after her before she gets herself into even more trouble" Megan said getting out her D-power and in a flash she was gone too.
"What do we do now?" Alannah asked.
"I think we should go home" Rachael suggested.
"You're right I don't want to take part in this stupid argument any longer and I don't want to go chasing after Keyleigh and Megan" Rebecca said and with that agreed they grabbed their bags and headed home with their Digimon following close behind.
Ice Rock (Digital World)
"They're here" the plant like Digimon said whilst looking down at the reflection in the Ice pool.
"BioLeomon I'll leave you to deal with them" the plant like Digimon said.
Mirror Lake (Digital World)
"Go away Megan!" Keyleigh shouted as she walked further down the side of the lake.
"Keyleigh please slow down!" Megan shouted as she tried her hardest to keep up with her.
"Why did you follow me anyway?" Keyleigh asked finally coming to a stop and turning around to face Megan. Megan was about to answer when a roar was heard.
"What was that?" Megan asked. Suddenly a giant lion stepped out of the forest.
"Who are you?" Keyleigh asked.
"I'm BioLeomon and I have been sent by my master to destroy you the Digidestined" BioLeomon said.
"You mean the Digimon Empress sent you?" Keyleigh asked.
"I was sent here by master BioMerukimon to destroy you" BioLeomon said.
"Fist of the Beast King" BioLeomon shouted suddenly bringing his fist forward and releasing a ball of fire. Keyleigh and Megan quickly jumped out of the way of the attack.
"Tentomon lets do it!" Megan shouted pulling out her D-power.
"DNA Charge" Megan shouted "TENTOMON DIGIVOLE TO… KABUTERIMON"
"Go get him Kabuterimon!" Megan shouted.
"Electric Shocker" Kabuterimon shouted releasing his attack. But BioLeomon managed to avoid it and instead jumped up and punched Kabuterimon throwing him to the floor.
"Kabuterimon!" Megan shouted.
"Megan let us help!" Keyleigh said.
"No Keyleigh I don't want you to get hurt so stay back!" Megan shouted.
"But I can help!" Keyleigh said.
"No please just stay back I don't want you to get hurt" Megan shouted whilst running over to her Digimon. Keyleigh suddenly remembered that this was exactly what Charlotte had said earlier. Now Keyleigh knew what Charlotte had meant when she said it. 'Charlotte only kept us in the dark because she didn't want us to get hurt' Keyleigh thought.
"Now I understand" Keyleigh whispered. Suddenly a bright turquoise light covered Keyleigh's fists.
"Veemon want to show them what we can do?" Keyleigh asked turning to her partner.
"More than ever! I'm fed up with sitting on the side lines" Veemon replied.
"Charge DNA Armour Mode" Keyleigh shouted "VEEMON ARMOUR DIGIVOLVE TO… ARMOURVEEMON"
As the light fadedwhere Veemon had once stood there now stood something that look like Veemon but much bigger. He had a metal plate covering his left eye and he had wings on his back which were also covered in metal. He had metal wrist and ankle cuffs and a long metal tail.
"ArmourVeemon show then what we can really do!" Keyleigh said.
"Armour Tail Strike" ArmourVeemon shouted swinging his tail round full force hitting BioLeomon in the stomach. BioLeomon gasped in pain.
"Megan you and Kabuterimon attack now!" Keyleigh shouted over to her friend.
"Got you Keyleigh!" Megan shouted.
"Electric shocker" Kabuterimon shouted releasing his attack once more. This time it hit BioLeomon directly in the stomach causing him to scream in pain and then afterwards slowly disappear into data.
"Well done Keyleigh you successfully made Veemon digivolve" Megan said.
"Yeah but Megan can we go now? I've got something I need to do" Keyleigh said walking off in the direction of the portal.
Norstein House (Human World)
Keyleigh knocked on the Norstein's door hoping someone was in. The door opened and Samantha appeared.
"Oh hello Keyleigh what can I do for you?" Samantha asked.
"I'm sorry" Keyleigh said bowing politely.
"I'm sorry for blaming you earlier now if you excuse me I have to go and apologise to Charlotte and Chihiro" Keyleigh said before turning and heading towards the Daimon house. Samantha stood there in shock.
"Um....Gabumon did that just happen?" Samantha asked her partner.
"Yeah it did" Gabumon replied. Samantha just sighed and closed the door.
Daimon House
Keyleigh knocked on the door again but this time it was the Daimon's house. The door opened and Chihiro stood there. When she saw Keyleigh she was tempted to just close the door in her face.
"Um… can I talk to you and Charlotte?" Keyleigh asked.
"Well alright come in but if you upset us I'll call my mom and dad" Chihiro said letting Keyleigh past. Keyleigh walked into the living room and saw Charlotte, Agumon and Betamon sitting watching TV.
"Who is it?" Charlotte asked.
"Oh it's you Keyleigh what do you want?" Charlotte asked when she saw it was Keyleigh.
"I'm here to apologise about earlier" Keyleigh said.
"I'm so sorry I wasn't thinking about your feelings" Keyleigh said bowing politely again. Charlotte and Chihiro stared at the girl before smiling at each other.
"Apology accepted" Charlotte said.
"Oh and before I forget we are meeting up in the park tomorrow all of us okay?" Keyleigh said before walking towards the door.
"Okay see you tomorrow" Charlotte said as her and Chihiro watched Keyleigh leave.
