Chapter 11: A bitter-sweet reunion

Isabella's POV

"Okay, so let's go over the plan one more time." Lan said. The whole gang saw the emergency notice and got together at Yai's place.

"If we find out where World Six is attacking, we contact someone else before we go to the place to delay World Six until either the cops get there or everyone else gets there for back-up." Lan repeated, again.

"Lan this is the fifth time you've gone over the plan! We understand already!" I groaned.

I heard Ella sigh and say, "Better safe than sorry! I saw you zone out after the second time."

I rolled my eyes and retorted, "Like the others needed to know that."

"I think you should have payed attention the whole time!" Ella started to started to sound irritated.

"I know the plan inside out alright!" I started to get very annoyed at my sister.

"Paying attention to the plan twice doesn't count as knowing it inside out." Out of the corner of my eyes I saw the others look a little uncomfortable.

"It does if you know it well enough! You're getting on my nerves, sis!" I yelled and heard a few surprised gasps which I knew came from Dex, Tory, Yai, and Chaud.

"Hey calm down you two!" Maylu said.

I took a few deep breaths and said, "Sorry, Ella. You were right, I should have payed more attention."

"I know!" Ella said and lightened the mood.

"Okay, it's getting late so you guys should go home." Yai said.

Back at the dorm, I was having a restless night. I looked over at my PET and saw that it was 4 in the morning. I groaned at rolled over and tried to fall asleep. Then, a report came on the computer.

"Attention! World Six is attacking at the old airport Hanger 13! The cops can't get though due to World Six putting poison water that deletes all navi's on contact. It's impossible for most likely all navi's to get through. The cops are asking for anyone who's navi's might not get affected to help." The news reporter said.

"People said it was impossible to beat Lan as easily as we did. Let's go for it!" I whispered to Ella.

"Wuzz? Oh whatever..." Ella murmured and fell back asleep. I got dressed, grabbed my PET, and hopped on my bike. Only when I was half way there did I realize that I forgot to tell Maylu about the World Six attack.

'Too late, I can't tell them now. It'll take to much time.' I thought.

"ELLA! GET UP!" I yelled.

Ella jumped out of her bed and said, "I didn't do it! Oh, it's just you Is." I told her about the World Six attack and her eyes glowed at the prospect of a battle. "Let's go kick some butt!"

"Calm down, we still have to get there!" I laughed at her enthusiasm.

Ella put on a fake pout which made me laugh even more. As we pulled up in front of the hanger, I jacked Ella in.

(Ella's POV)

I cautiously walked through the hanger's computer. When I came to the security wall, I saw that it didn't go underneath the path.

"Piece of cake." I murmured to myself. I changed to my earth element and dug a tunnel and got safely though the barrier. "Isabella, I'm though." I said through my communication device in my helmet.

"Nice work, Ella. Now, try to find World Six's base of operation." Isabella said.

'No duh!' I thought and continued to move stealthily through the water. I got stuck only a foot in. 'Ah great! Wait, maybe if I go to my water element, I could just move the water in my way and get through!' I changed to water and was about to move the water out of the way, until I felt light headed. "Is... I need... a full..." I didn't even need to finish my sentence when I felt a full recovery's healing powers course through me. "Thanks." I mumbled before moving the water out of my way.

An hour later, I saw movement up ahead. "Bell, we've got a situation. I see another navi up ahead."

"Go check it out. I'm right here if you need me." Isabella said. I approached the navi slowly and carefully. I came up right behind the navi with my blaster pointed right at him and said, "Turn around slowly, or you get deleted."

He put his hands in the air and turned around. I almost fainted when I saw who it was. "Harvestman!" I got up and gave him a bone crushing hug.

"Ella... can't... breathe!" Harvestman squeaked.

"Whoops, sorry!" I apologized and released him. "What are you doing here? It's been 7 years! How are you?"

"I'm doing great, thanks. I'm here because Luke wanted to see if we could beat World Six's leader." Harvestman answered.

"Wait, Luke's here?" I asked.

(Isabella's POV)

"Hey, Bell, you'll never guess who I just found!" Ella's voice woke me.

"Who? Wait, is that Harvestman?" I asked completely shocked.

"Yeah, and he said that Luke was around here." As soon as Ella said, "Luke," I felt my heart skip a beat.

"Oh my god, where is he?" I franticly looked all around.

Then, someone put their gloved hands over my eyes and said, "Long time no see."

I whipped around and gave the "mystery person" a hug. "Oh my god! It's really you Luke!"

He hugged me back and said, "I can't believe we haven't seen each other for 7 years!"

"Me neither! How have you been? Where'd you move to? What was it like in your new town?" I pulled away from the hug.

"My dad, Bo, and I moved to a town an hour away, but I decided to go to Den Tech College here and we moved back. It was fun living here, but it wasn't as much fun when you weren't around." Luke said and I felt the heat rise to my cheeks.

"T-thanks." I stuttered very embarrassed now.

I saw Luke look at my locket with curiosity. "Where'd you get that locket?" He asked.

"I got it from my boyfriend."

"When?"

"Yesterday. Why?"

"Because I gave my girlfriend a locket that looked just like that yesterday! Ah man, they said it was one of a kind!"

"Wait, it might not be the same locket. Did it have a picture and an inscription inside it?" I started to get a little freaked out.

"Yeah, I put in a picture of us and had the jewelry inscribe, 'I'll always be there for you,' in it. Why?"

"Oh my god... Was your guys first date at the park you met at? Was the date a picnic and your hands brushed when you went for a sandwich?" Okay, I was on a whole new level of freaked out.

Luke eyed me suspiciously, "Yeah."

I gulped nervously and said, "They didn't lie to you about the locket." I showed him the picture and he widened his eyes in surprise.

"Well, this is a little awkward..." Luke said while blushing.

I just blushed and looked away.

(Ella's POV)

Harvestman and I were surprised that Luke and Isabella had been dating but never knew it.

"I always knew that those two would get together one day." Harvestman laughed.

"Yeah, it was so obvious that they liked each other..." I saw Harvestman looking at me like he didn't understand something. "Can you please stop staring me?"

"Sorry, it's just, I thought your eyes were blue." Harvestman said.

"What do you mean? Aren't they blue?" I asked. 'I think Harvestman is going crazy.'

"No your eyes are brown." Harvestman said and held up a mirror. I looked and saw that my eyes were brown.

'Wait if my eyes are brown, that means I... I love Harvestman!' I thought.

I felt the heat rising to my cheeks and I swayed back and forth.(It's what I do when I'm embarrassed around someone I like)

Harvestman obviously remembered my antics because he blushed and grabbed my hand. I blushed deeper, but I didn't release his hand.

(Isabella's POV(It's getting annoying to keep writing this))

I glanced at the computer screen and saw that Harvestman and Ella were having a "moment". I nudged Luke (I'm still a little fuzzy on him being my bf) and pointed at the screen. He let out a little laugh and said, "Looks like there's a new couple."

I giggled and self consciously grabbed Luke's hand. I blushed but held on. I saw him blush too and when I released his hand, he held on. "Uh, Luke, your still holding my hand."

"What? Oh." Luke blushed and let go. "Well are we going to stand here all day or are we going to go kick some bad guy butt?" Luke pumped his fist in the air and ran into the abandoned airport hanger.

I giggled and thought, 'Same old Luke! He's still the silly boy that I-' I cut off my train of thought and thought about was I was just about to admit. '- fell in love with.'

"Are you going to go in after him?" Ella asked.

"At least I'm planing to help unlike his net-navi!" I glared playfully at Harvestman.

"That's my cue! Got to go!" Harvestman dashed off.

"So Ella, can I say that you and Harvestman are an item now?" I teased my sister.

"You can, if I can say that you and Luke are an item now." Ella bounced back.

"Actually you can." With that I walked into the hanger. As soon as I walked in, I saw my worst fear.

"No..."
