Me: As usual I don't want to say the disclaimer so I'll force Demi-Veemon to do that later. However, I do have to warn you that this entire chapter is like…well….umm…help me out here Patamon?
Patamon: Huh? Me? There's no way I'm gonna say the disclaimer.
Gatomon: Actually…she was looking for a word.
Me: Anyways…this chapter is really serious, a lot happens, it's a lot of information and it's actually pretty long. Before this chapter I wasn't sure if I was going to end up with any fight scenes… now I need you guys to tell me if you like the little "fight" scenes in this chappie and if you want any more.
Patamon: I want more chocolate.
Gatomon: Me too…
Demi-veemon: Me three.
Me: Demi-veemon…say the disclaimer already so I can stop depressing the readers with all the scary stuff in this chapter!
Demi-veemon: What? But then you'll kill me and I'll never be able to spend an ete…eter…something with Gatomon.
Me: You won't be able to anyways so say the disclaimer before I forget what I was going to put in this chapter.
Demi-veemon: You could always write it about me and Gatomon!
Patamon and Gatomon: In your dreams!
Me: Then it would all be fight scenes with Gatomon scratching your face off and maybe a murder or two. Depends on whether Kari/Davis decide to help out or not. If Kari helps Gatomon…then they'll end up killing Davis. If Davis helps Demi-Veemon…Gatomon will kill Davis.
Patamon: What about me and T.K?
Me: Then you'll end up killing Davis.
Demi-veemon: That's still not going to make me say that nothing in Digimon belongs to you!
Me: And if Demi-veemon says the disclaimer I'll kill him…and then I'll kill Davis…DEMI-VEEMON!
Gatomon and Patamon: Here we go again!
(Imagine a line here)
The winds brushed my face. My short hair could do nothing to stop the icy wind from attacking my now red neck.
The cliff seemed so much taller when I was actually standing on it. I stared down into the merciless waters. They were black, dark, icy, evil. And moving.
Monsters came out of nowhere; they attacked from every direction. My digivice fell out of my hand and fell down, landing on the soft sand below…far out of my reach.
Creatures I could swear that I'd seen before pounced upon me and I fell down, nearly crashing into the many boulders by the edge of the merciless waters. The tide rose, slowly but surely, toward my digivice.
Beams of light erupted from my fingers for a few seconds, but only long enough to keep the monsters at bay. I ran towards my digivice… Maybe I could call Gatomon here and then everything would be okay.
A tall, dark, and definitely not handsome creature erupted out of the sea. I stared at the endless waters and corrected myself. This was definitely no sea. Seas end somewhere…this was an endless ocean of merciless waters. The Dark Ocean…and it was coming to claim me again.
Beams of darkness sprang from the creature, stealing my ability to see. I blindly crawled against the sand, hoping to find my digivice. A foggish silhouette moved in front of me…
"I will claim you again. You will be mine Hikari."
The creature moved closer and closer to me…
I finally found my digivice. I pressed all the buttons; I'd tried everything Izzy told me to do if something like this ever happened. Nothing worked. I'd be trapped in this vortex of darkness for the rest of my life…worlds apart form T.K.
T.K!
"Takeru?"
"Takeru!"
"Patamon? Gatomon? Takeru!"
"Please…someone reply!"
"Kari…"
"Takeru?"
"Get up. It's time to go to Izzy's."
"Wait that was all a dream?"
"Yeah. Dark Ocean right? I had the same one…I saw you screaming your head off but I couldn't help you."
"Really?"
"Yeah!" Patamon said…in a happy, cheerful Patamon tone.
"Yup, the two of you were screaming so loud that I scratched T.K so he would wake up!" Gatomon said, cleaning her claws.
"Oh Gatomon!" I laughed the dream off, refusing to believe the terrible premonition before me. "Let's go to Izzy's T.K!"
I grabbed his shirt and…icy winds flew through me like daggers. I held Gatomon close to me…and pulled T.K even closer. Patamon held onto T.K's hat, and after giving up, crawled under it and held onto T.K's hair.
Gatomon and Patamon immediately resumed their fight from yesterday over who got the last chocolate bar. "You got the first one so I should get the last one Gatomon!"
"Yeah but it's good manners to give me the first one because I'm a lady so I automatically get the first bar!"
Icy winds swirled around us.
"Maybe if we walked towards Izzy's house the winds would stop following us."
"We could try, Kari. But if these winds really are from the Dark Ocean I don't think it matters where we walk."
"Of coursssssse it'ssss from the Dark Ocean, my sssssweetssssss." I slithering sound came from the swirl of winds. "I'm here for the girl, or the girl's power, either way works…and either way she won't survive for long."
T.K protectively moved me behind him. "Start walking. WE stand more of a chance with more Digidestined."
"Of course you do!" Mimi bounced up the sidewalk. "Now let's get to Izzy's before that thing comes back."
"Wait you can't see it anymore?" T.K asked.
"Well, I saw it a few minutes ago…so I started running over here. My hotel is right over there." Mimi pointed to a high-class building that looked as if it cost billions… which it probably did. "But I can't see the swirly thing anymore."
"Of courssssseeeee, ssssshe can't my ssssssweetssssssss. I told you the girl hassssssss powersssssssssssss. Maybe you too boy. But the girl isssssssssss prettier…and she looks a lot weaker."
Beams of light shot through my fingers, then my whole body. I looked to my right and saw T.K going through the same process. His crest shone above his head and the monster shriveled up. Mimi looked shocked.
"So then… that thing…"
"Yup. Let's go find Sora."
5 minutes later, as we walked toward Sora's house, which was only a slight detour from Izzy's, Mimi's cell phone rang.
"Heya Sora!" Mimi sang, bubbly, having set her ringtones so that she could tell when Matt, Sora, Tai, T.K, me, or any other Digidestined called. Sora's crest shone somewhere in the background.
"There's some swirly thing after me…my crest just went whoa. Meet me at Izzy's…I gotta run before this thing catches up to me."
Moments later Matt called, saying the same thing…Mimi absolutely bursted…and a beam of light shone throughout her as well. The swirly things had apparently followed us around after being destroyed by Sora and Matt.
Yolee called, saying that her digivice didn't work and that between here, Ken, Izzy, Joe, and…well everyone that was already at Izzy's…they only had one working digivice, Tai's. And even then, the only button that worked was the button that turned it on.
"The whole digivice was working when we got here and then one by one the buttons stopped working…it's just like Matt's. He said that his was just like this right before the swirly guys attacked him and after he did some freaky thing with his crest his digivice wouldn't turn on anymore."
T.K grabbed my hand, and ran…Mimi bounced along, her hair pink and magenta, not caring about anything except Matt. Lucky Mimi…Matt can actually take care of himself. Tai on the other hand…not so much. And I have to make sure that Tai, T.K, and Patamon all stay alive. And on top of that I have to survive as well…and the swirly things are after me.
Another gush of wind flew by.
Everyone increased their speed. Mimi bounced three times as fast; Patamon held onto T.K's hair even harder, and the hat almost fell off. Gatomon somehow managed to balance on my shoulders while T.K and I showed everyone why we were trying out for track next semester. Amazingly…no one noticed anything.
Not even when I slipped and a foggy silhouette moved towards me.
Not even when a beam of light erupted from within me.
Not even when my crest shone above my head.
It was like they were blind. Or at least they couldn't see us.
We finally made it to Izzy's house alive.
