Chapter 12: Ambush, do-or-die!
Okay, I've just finished watching my favorite Resident Evil movie (degeneration) and something has just struck my mind and I am still surprised. The voice of Koichi (Crispin Freeman) is the voice of the bad guy in the movie with an English accent (Frederick Downing). What the hell! Why does he sound English and has to be a bad guy in some anime and movies!!!? That's what I want to know! Oh well, here's chapter 12.
Disclaimer: It's in the other chapters people!! ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!
The gang were only a few minutes or so to this next village they were heading to, the village was near a cliff as they saw it from the ground they stood at.
"So run this by me again: you and Koichi had the same dream of your hu-mon spirits giving you a warning and told you to go to this village there?" Takuya asked, trying to get this right.
"Yep!" Koji replied back.
"And you're okay with that than our conversation we gave you two chapters ago?"
"Not really. I still don't like the idea of it, but what's done is done. I guess."
"So you're okay with that?"
"MY GOD, DIDN'T I JUST GIVE YOU AN ANSWER!?"
"Not really that much."
"Takuya, you're starting to give me a headache now." He said, placing his right hand on his forehead.
Zoe stared at the boys in confusion, not quite getting the whole dream thing and this area called 'the Twilight'. She was just as confused as the goggle head arguing with the lone wolf, whom she has a crush on. "Koji," she began. "You said there was something odd that Lobomon said, what was it?"
Koji was quiet for a moment. "He said we were just like them, our spirits, in many ways that I don't get. And that Yin was more important than us as it seems since we're almost at this village. And he said I should know that."
"But how would you know? You hate her for a strange reason and don't think she's worth a thing at all, so how?" J.P asked, walking further than anyone else in the group.
"Again, no clue to that."
"They also said to watch out for the Hallowmon." Koichi said after Koji.
"The Hallowmon? Those weird things that Bokomon read back on that wall? The one serving the celestials?"
"Yeah, that's them."
They all turned to Bokomon, who was reading and scanning through pages of his book for any more answers of this situation and the Hallowmon, as he looked up at them curiously and confused when he felt their stares. He still had his book open as he said: "What? Something the matter?"
"Does that book say anything else about the Hallowmon, like anything to avoid them at all?" J.P said, pointing at the book with his index finger on a page.
"Not really, but from what I said before, they have poisonous claws so it might be best that we dodge those claws and not be touched by them. That's all I can really give you children for now, I'm sorry."
"Great. Well, I guess that's all we need in case we come across those things. But if we were attacked by them, is there a cure of some kind we could use?" Takuya said.
"Again, Takuya, what I had already told you all of is that that's all I know of the Hallowmon. Weren't you paying any attention to that?" Bokomon was getting angry right now since Takuya asked him that obvious question. (Man, Takuya's dumb!)
"Um... yes?" Was all he could say with a sheepish smile on his face, hands behind his head.
Bokomon only groaned at him with half squinted eyes and a sweat drop over his head.
They were almost there, maybe ten or five feet away from them now. The small village began to grow slowly as they all took a step closer to it, from small to large now. The village looked like the other ones the gang had been to in this world, but there was a big difference in this one they were about to reach. This village- the Protectors village- has some banners in black and white with a symbol of a sun and moon colliding together as an... ECLIPSE. Her symbol as a warrior was on those banners, Yin.
There was also a fence around this village, a fence made of half wood and entirely of metal that reached to almost the very top of the village. More banners of the Eclipse were attached to the fences while some of the banners had other symbols of the Legendary warriors on the Eclipse were attached to the fences while some of the banners had other symbols of the Legendary warriors on them. What were these banners for?
"Uh.. is that the Protectors village, Bokomon?" Takuya asked, pointing at the village just a head of them all only a few feet now.
Before Bokomon could answer Takuya, ten shadows appeared all around them all. Different types of digimon were surrounding them of both beast and hu-mon. The ten digimon surrounding them all were a Stingmon, a Kabuterimon, an Azulonmon, WarGreymon, Angemon, X-Veemon, Shurimon, Knightmon, Rosemon (from Data squad), and a Ogremon. They all appeared to have their attacks readied to be fired at them.
"Intruders!" Shouted the Ogremon.
"Um- we give up?"
"J.P!"
"What? I'm scared!"
"But now is not the time to act like a chicken, J.P." Zoe said calmly while trying not to get killed by these digimon.
"I'd like to know why they think we're intruders?" Koji said, hand reaching for his D-Tector in his pocket.
What seemed like the digimon were about to attack were stopped by a green digimon in the entrance, sort of looking like a rabbit with missiles. "Hold your attacks!" The digimon. All ten digimon turned at suddenly bowed when the green digimon and a human came forward from the entrance to where they all stood. Somehow, they weren't all surprised when they saw her here, maybe because they already knew about it when Lady Ophanimon told them.
"Yin." Zoe said.
"I said it once, I'll say it again; what the hell are you kids doing here?" Yin said in a nonchalant way, arms crossed in front of her as she stared cold and blankly at the six kids standing near her and Rapidmon.
"Again, not kids. We're the same age, y'know!" Koji stated.
"Except for me and Tommy. Though he's younger and I'm older than you guys." J.P said to get this out of the way again.
"Not now, J.P. Trying to get things through to this girl here."
"There you go again with the girl phrase. I thought I was done being called girl a few chapters ago!" Yin said, glaring at me for the "girl" mentioned as her. "I have a name if you have forgotten already."
"Yeah, I know. But I don't feel like using it to know who you are kid." Koji said back at her.
"I'm not a kid! And it's not girl either!" She retorted.
"Yeah, yeah. I know, Ikumi."
"Why you son of a -"
"Again, does no one remember there being a younger kid here in the team but me!?" J.P said, referring to Tommy as he plugged his ears again whenever they had cursed in front of him. 'Some role models these guys are.' He thought.
Yin and Koji had been fighting since the gang had reached the village and found her here as they were told she was. The minute they set got here, the feud began with them as the others watched along with the other digimon around them.
'They seem to argue more than me and Koji do. Only this one still has Koji in it with a new comer that he met a long time ago.' Takuya thought, getting quite interested in this and a little annoyed by the shouting. 'Gawd! Is this how Koji and I sound to these guys when we argue like this? It's really giving me a headache!' "Can we stop this now?"
"-then why did you ever come here in the first place if you remembered who I was?"
"I'm not answering that to you, pretty boy!"
"What's with the 'pretty boy' nickname?"
"Hey, call me 'girl' and you get that, pretty boy."
"Why you little-"
"Guess not." Takuya and the others said as they lowered their heads and sighed heavily, the shouting ceasing to end now.
'Now this feels like Deja vu without Takuya even arguing in with them.' Zoe thought. This scene being caused was strangely familiar, though she didn't want to have another headache from just remembering those times when they argued so much. But there was something else to it, something she couldn't put a finger on but it troubled her. Just the way she saw Yin and Koji arguing there in front of them was- very much troubling to her. She felt that once Yin joins the team, something was going to change.
"Ahem! Sorry to break your conversation (which I think is getting us nowhere) but I think it's time they explain themselves of why they are here in our village." Rapidmon said to them all, finally being the one to end the small feuding. He may have settled things down for Yin and Koji, but they were still giving death glares at each other without looking at anyone else. "Uh- so, state your business here humans."
"We have orders from Lady Ophanimon to get Yin out of here and to find her beast spirit." Takuya said simply, a stern look upon his face (FINALLY!!!).
Rapidmon and Yin stared at him confusingly. "Lady Ophanimon send you kids to get her?"
"Yep."
"I don't buy it. Not one bit. And before you ask, I won't let her leave this village. There's a reason to why this is called Protectors village; those banners that hang at the top of the fences are for the protectors, we are the Eclipse protectors and will do as we were destined to do. And that is shield this child from the clutches of Destructmon.
"She is more safer here than the outside of the Digital World with them lurking around freely now. She has a better chance at surviving here than with you kids, especially with the warrior of Darkness here." Rapidmon turned his attention to Koichi, who had said nothing for about the rest of their arguing and conversations. He set off a warning glare at him, maybe trying to have him flinch or some reaction; Koichi only stared at him. 'Just like Duskmon.' Rapidmon thought as he took in his small reaction.
"Wait, what does Koichi have to do with this? He didn't do anything." Zoe said defensively for her friend.
"Rapidmon, what does he have to do with this conversation? As Zoe said, he didn't do anything to hurt me or anything else, and he is the least person to suspect something evil out of him." Yin said.
Her words were almost like darts to Koichi, darts being pierced straight in his heart. He and the others knew very well what she thought, obviously, she wasn't told about Duskmon yet and Rapidmon was about to reveal it. When he glared at him, Koichi could have sworn he was toying with him like he's known for years; why would he do this if Koichi only met him today unless-
'Was Duskmon here? Is that why he's turning the conversation on me? Because of Duskmon?' Koichi thought.
Rapidmon turned his attention back to Yin. "Milady, this is your first time our world so you don't know the whole story of these other warriors. Especially the one of Darkness." Yin gave him a confused look, what was this all about now?
"But," he continued. "It is not in my place to reveal such secrets to you. You'll have to let them tell you."
"Rapidmon, why the sudden change of mind to not tell me?"
"Like I said, it is not in my place to do so." He looked back at Koichi, who was giving him a grateful look for not saying anything about his regretful past as the false warrior of Darkness, Duskmon. 'Maybe it's better this way for her to know them better than things are.'
"I agree with Rapidmon on this one, the girl can't know anything about us yet. Well, she can't unless she's with the team." Everyone stared quizzically at Koji, trying to understand by what he said and if it's his way of agreeing she should be with them.
Yin didn't like how he said that at all, he was starting to get on her last nerves and she wanted to punch him in the face so she could see him bleed. She was about to react to his statement with another argument when she felt her heart pounce; a sharp pain entering her mind as she lost her train of thoughts. She fell to her knees and clutched her head with both hands and eyes widening in fear and pain. 'I felt this before,' she thought. 'This pulsation, my head, I felt this when that Kuwagamon attacked me.'
"Hey, you okay?" Takuya said in a concerned tone.
"What's wrong?" Tommy said after.
"My lady, what has happened?"
"She collapsed, that's what happened to her."
"Koji, please don't start this again."
"...they're coming..." They all heard Yin whispered.
"Milady, what's coming? What is it?" Rapidmon asked, sounding more concern than Takuya and the others did for the Eclipse warrior.
She was quiet before answering them again, here eyes looking outside where everything turned dark with black clouds covering the light blue sky. "The Hallowmon." She said simply as thunder and rain started to come down.
Dawnmon stopped in her tracks as she noticed the sky suddenly turned dark, wanting to let rain or lightning pour from them. Her dark blue eyes skimmed through the trees, ground, and almost everywhere to find the new attackers approaching. She watches silently as the sky kept on getting darker by the second. Thunder was now heard from the sky; Dawnmon was surprised to not see any lightning to appear yet, maybe they haven't completely found them yet.
'Don't kid yourself there, Dawnmon, never assume things without further notice of warnings and screaming for signs.' She thought.
She was already ahead of the Protectors village, she had to keep going to find the Dark Protector and help him find the girl's beast spirit.
"But wouldn't a protector be at the village? I don't sense any type of aura from there so maybe not. But then again, those clouds..."
A dark thought came to mind, what if the children were at the village and the Hallowmon came down that storm? What would happen if they couldn't do anything to defeat them? She shrugged the thought away and began to think positive. She had to in order to continue her orders.
'Those kids will be fine, it's a village full of guards and that stuff. Nothing will happen to them.'
Or so she thought as she continued her way to the next village she came upon.
"Um guys, wasn't the sky sunny earlier?" J.P asked.
"Yeah, it was a moment ago." Koichi answered him back. Koichi didn't know why, but the dark sky didn't have a pleasant sign to them, including when thunder is roaring and there may be a chance of lightning. The presence of it wasn't very good, either, like it was carrying something inside it beside rain.
There was no point of staying dry from the rain hitting since they knew a battle was coming up, all seven of them were outside waiting for an attacker while getting drenched. All of the other protectors that were in this village seemed to not be bothered by the rain, but also seemed to not sense any danger from it like the presence Koichi felt.
'Things like this are never good. Including when in a world made of entirely of data.' "Is anyone else getting a bad feeling besides me?" Koichi asked everyone, they all nodded as a response.
"Hey, Yin," Koji started to look at her as he saw her frightened expression. "You sure you sensed the Hallowmon?"
"I'm sure of it, I don't know how, but I'm sure. Before Garurumon and I met you guys again in that village, we tales about the Hallowmon; they're-"
"Black digimon with red eyes and poisonous claws?" Takuya finished her sentence.
"Yeah, but do you know how they arrive?"
"No, not really. Anything Bokomon?"
"Again, Takuya, what I've already told is all that I know! Nothing more than that!" Bokomon shouted at him with annoyance.
Koji was still looking at her, taking in her frighten look as a bad sign. "You know how?"
She nodded her head. "Yeah, and we're about to see them come down with a light show."
No one knew what she meant by that, but before anyone could ask her, countless of lightning were shooting down from the sky to the earth. It hit the ground in almost every direction there was in this village, leaving holes almost everywhere with smoke rising from them. One of the lightning had hit the ground that was right next to the hut they all had came out of and leaving a smoking ditch as the others did. Beside the crackling of the cooked soil, there was something else in there that was-
-unpleasant. A terrifying sound of an unknown creature. Slowly coming out of the ditch was a claw, a black sharp pointed claw along with crimson beaming eyes that belonged to this creature. They all watched as it came out of the ditch and revealed itself to them, it looked like a walking lizard or something of that species with pitch black scales and jagged pointed teeth and a whipping tail (it finally has a form!).
Everyone stared at the creature, half frightened than they appeared to be. Yin quickly recognized it, she saw it in her dream when she had woken up here, she knew what it was.
'The Hallowmon,' she thought as she readied her hand to grab her D-Tector on her belt.
'Black appearance, red eyes, sharp claws,... so this is what a Hallowmon looks like up close.' Takuya thought as he gripped his device. There was other noises coming from the other directions, he turned quickly and saw that where the lightning had hit in the ground came the black digimon. So this is what she meant, Yin, they came from the storm.
One of the Hallowmon turned around and faced a protector, it raised it's claws and slashed at him/her directly at the chest. In seconds later, the slashed protector turned into a digi-egg, but instead of floating back to where all the digi-eggs go, it simply turn black and evaporated into a mist of data.
'Was that the poison claw?' Questioned Takuya to his thoughts.
With only one look at the other Hallowmon, they all attack the protectors with their claws. The gang saw them all fighting against these things, some managed to turned them into black mist while some protectors were defeated by them, the Hallowmon were ignoring them for some reason. They had to fight with them, they all couldn't just stand there and watch as they vanish by these digimon, they couldn't. They were Legendary Warriors for crying out loud, they had a job to do now.
"Ready guys?" Takuya asked, a stream of data appearing not only on his but everyones hands.
"You know we are, Taki." Said J.P as if the answer wasn't so hard to figure out.
"Yep." Said Tommy, agreeing with J.P.
"Let's do this guys. Execute... SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" Half of the team said as the others went to beast spirit side. They were all engulfed in data as their bodies were changing, their thoughts changing to their other selves. As the data began to dissipate from them all, there stood in their places were the Legendary Warriors BurningGreymon, Zephyrmon, Korikakumon, Beetlemon, Lowemon, Lobomon, and Sunmon.
"Milady, what are you doing? Let us protect you." Rapidmon shouted as he took in her new form.
"I don't need protection from others! I can take care of myself!"
'That wasn't how we saw it when you first got that spirit.' Lobomon thought.
"I heard that, Minamoto!" Sunmon shouted.
"How could you have heard me? I didn't say a damn thing!" Lobomon shouted back at her.
------
Bokomon: Allow me to explain, since 13wolfsbane forgot to mention this in the earlier chapters. Sunmon has another ability that uses the green jewel on her forehead, with this jewel she is allowed to read and hear the thoughts of others around her and can see their past events. And she also has the ability of using wire made of energy to attach to things around her and use as other attacks.
Takuya: That sounds like a ninja!
Bokomon: Takuya get out! That is all.
------
"I wasn't really expecting an explaination about my abilities but heck yes." Sunmon said as her staff appeared right before her.
"Whatever. Takuya, what's the plan!" Lobomon shouted as BurningGreymon was fending off three Hallowmon.
"Isn't it obvious? We attack the freaks into there nothing left of them but an egg!" He shouted as he threw flames at the three digimon. He was expecting a Fractal code to appear before him but it just turned into a black mist to his surprise. "What the-"
"They don't have a Fractal Code?" Zephyrmon questioned as she slashed through a Hallowmon.
Sunmon took the next two hits with her Sunstaff another with a few kicks. The number of the Hallowmon weren't decreasing at all. "These things are made out of darkness, I think only light can destroy them."
"And just how do you know that?" Lowemon questioned her this time.
"When Garurumon was still with me. Now could you stop the questions and fight these things!" Sunmon said as she took another swing of her staff with a Hallowmon.
They wouldn't give up, the number of them still wasn't slowing down. It seems that the more they attack them, the more of them come as the others are gone as the protectors were either turned into eggs or just vanish. Most of them vanished when the Hallowmon had tried to attack Sunmon and guard the attack from her with themselves. Most of the Hallowmon had ignored the other protectors and warriors and headed towards Sunmon, it was obvious that she was their main target in this ambush.
"Dammit," cursed Beetlemon. "How long is this goin' to take? I'm starting to get tired now!"
"Just keep fighting! WILDFIRE TSUNAMI!!" BurningGreymon growled as he unleashed another fire attack at the Hallowmon in a row.
Lobomon and Lowemon were back to back with their weapons raised in front of them for defense, about ten or more Hallowmon had surrounded them completely.
"Ready bro?" Lobomon asked, a small nervous grin cracking through his lips.
"Aren't we always in this kind of situation?" Lowemon answered back as he took a swing with his black staff at a couple of Hallowmon and used his Shadow meteor attack at another. Lobomon stabbed a few with his LoboKendo and the next few with his laser (that does sound like Star Wars!). Just as Sunmon said, his light attacks took more of an effect than the other attacks his friends had produced. 'If these Hallowmon are made out of darkness, Sunmon and I may have a chance to get rid of them if she even listens to me.' Lobomon thought.
"SUN BLAST!!" He heard her attack. Lobomon looked over to her and saw her attack had the same effect as his had on them. 'The sun is the tribute of light, and the moon is the tribute of darkness; both together and that makes eclipse. We just may have a chance in winning this fight.' Lobomon thought again.
"Koji, how are you two doing over there!" BurningGreymon shouted.
"Just great if you put in a horde of Hallowmon. You?"
"Same as you. Tommy, Zoe, what about you guys!"
"Do we have to answer? HURRICANE GALE!!" Zephyrmon shouted back to him.
"I'll take that as the same here."
Beetlemon was about to use his thunder fist attack at the ground when a Hallowmon jumped him from behind and began clinging to his back. He tries to get it off him but the claws were stuck on his like glue. "Crap! I could use some help here!"
"FROZEN ARROWHEAD!!" Korikakumon shouted as his attack made a direct hit to the Hallowmon and almost hit Beetlemon, a narrow escape from his use-to-be-small friend. "Thanks, Tommy. But don't scare me half to death next time, please." Beetlemon said nervously as he witness his almost death by his friend.
"Sorry!"
"Would you two stop talking and keep on fighting! We need as much help as we can get right now!" BurgningGreymon shouted as he used another one of his fire attacks.
"ENERGY WIRES!!" Sunmon shouted, she raised her right hand as her other hand held the Sunstaff; she was using her very own energy on the ground to create the wires she required. The wires were made and finally attached itself to the ground with a strong grip, she risen her hand and the parts of the ground were taken out and thrown at the Hallowmon; smashing them to bits. Sunmon used the same attack again and again, but as she tried to use it one last time, she fell to her knees and breathed heavily. 'This attack takes more out of a girl than I thought, can't let them know. I can't let them.' Se thought as she tried to get up by pulling herself with her staff.
"Milady, LOOK OUT!!!" Sunmon turned, still on the ground when a large figure covered her with it's shadow and data becoming visible to everyone. A Hallowmon had try to do her in with it's only attack of poison when he jumped in had took the attack instead of her, doing the job he and the others were suppose to do as protectors.
"Rapidmon!?" Sunmon screamed, half horror-stricken.
He didn't say anything to her, he didn't have the chance as his data was being swallowed in by this vile creature before her. Yet another on had fallen for saving her, just like the others in the beginning of this whole mess. How many would die to protect her? How many more?
*~Hallowmon...~* 'What was that?' Sunmon thought when she heard a womans' voice coming from nowhere by here.
"*Yes, milady?*" She now heard the Hallowmon in front of her speak.
*~Forget the girl for now, the warrior of Light is becoming more troublesome than I thought. Destroy him at once without hesitation!~*
"*Yes, milady.*" The Hallowmon walked away from Sunmon and headed towards Lobomon, whose attention was taken by the others of its kind.
Her heart beating fast, she reacted without her thoughts coming up with a plan or anything; ignoring the slight pain in her entire body as she ran towards the attacking Hallowmon at Lobomon. he still hadn't noticed it coming at him yet, still too busy finishing off the ones in front of him to even hear it approaching. She ran as fast as she could, now getting ahead of the Hallowmon to next to Lobomon.
"Get down you idiot!" She yells to him.
"Sunmon?" He finally turns to see her behind him with her staff held up defensively and sees the charging Hallowmon. "What the hell are you doing?"
"What's it look like? I'm saving you sorry a-"
"Again, child here!" Beetlemon screamed out as he cover Korikakumon's ears.
The Hallowmon finally attack them, only scrapping the metal staff with its nails, sparks were flying every time it hit her staff. Sunmon was going to use her Sun Blast on the thing, but with it scratching at the staff some much she couldn't take her hand off it. "Lobomon," she shouts. "Can you hit with that saber of yours?"
"I can try."
"Then do it!"
"Fine, LoboKendo!!" Coming from behind her, he uses his sword to pierce through the Hallowmons' head and slicing it in two before it vanished completely. Sunmon was able to lower her staff and sigh out of relief before turning her attention to him; though usually when someone helps the other out, they would give out a winning smile, but all she could do was frown with a serious expression on her face. She was use to this, but he wasn't; he'd expect Takuya to help him but was ended up being saved by the girl he hated. What was this sudden change of this?
"Uh, thanks. I guess I owe you now."
"You owe me nothing, just as I don't with any of you." Her eyes shifted quickly from him to something else that turned her face into horror. She quickly pushes him away just when a Hallowmon slashed its claw at her left shoulder, the one without the shoulder armor. She drops her staff, her eye sight becomes blurry and feels weak enough to not be able to stand anymore as her body was cocooned in data and she reverts back to her human form.
Lobomon sees this, he uses his saber to pierce the digimon in the stomach as he catches Yin in his free arm. He looks at her shoulder, there were three claw marks left on her with blood trickling down her arm with the rain. Her breathing was normal, which means nothing was happening to her from that attack. 'Some poison claw.' He thought.
"Just like last time, huh?" He heard Yin say weakly, her eyes trying to open but failing. He had never seen her this calm before, she was always bickering with him, never letting out a laugh or even a smile, and looking serious whenever they saw her, now she was... different!
Before he could say anything, a high pitch scream was bellowed out by all of the Hallowmon in the surrounding area, causing everyone to cover their eyes from the horrible screeching sound. A sound of a thousand screams and glass either being scratched or breaking in one, those that were in air fell to the ground hard and those on ground fell to their knees. The screams were loud enough to make the ground below them shake and crack, like the earth shaking when Grumblemon used his hammer on the mountains to gain the Fractal Code, it was just like that time without him here.
The ground continued to shake even when the Hallowmon stopped their screaming, their voices must have activated an earthquake in this village since most of the ground around was cracking in a trice. The ditches around everyone was making the ground worse, the process of this place breaking and falling into the depth of water below it with the rain pouring was increasing. Half of the village had already fallen with a few Hallowmon with it, by this time, all of the Hallowmon had turned to a shadowy mist and vanished by themselves, away from this cracking area.
"Everyone, time to go!" They all heard BurgingGreymon say as he scooped up a few surviving protectors along with Zephyrmon doing the same with Korikakumon helping them. "Koji, where's Yin?"
"Who does it look like I'm holding, goggle head!"
"What happen to her?"
"One of the Hallowmon attacked her,though I don't think their claws are as effective with human tha-" Lobomon was interrupted when her heard the sound of a loud echoing crack in the ground.
He looks below him and Yin, there were more cracks underneath them than any where else in this half destroyed village. He tries not to make any sudden movement while thinking of a way to get away from here; without any movement from him or her, the ground gave up and split into countless pieces with the two warriors falling with it.
"Koji! Yin!"
"Koji!"
"Oh no!"
"Hang on, I'll try and get them." Zephyrmon carefully let go of the digimon she had in her arms and went to the falling warriors. She stretched out her arm as long as she could to reach his hand, he did the same to try and reach hers. Their hands were almost together, she would have saved them if something hadn't pulled her away from them as they continued to fall. She didn't know what caused her to back away with such force, but her mind wasn't on that at the moment; the only thing that kept crossing her mind was how she let them slip through her hand and could save them at all.
"NO!" Zephyrmon cried out, trying to get a glimpse of them still falling. The only things she saw was a bunch of rocks and a lot of water, Koji and Yin were nowhere to be found.

13wolfsbane: Long, wasn't it? I tend to do that a lot and keep forgetting I'm suppose to make it shorter than that. Oh well, please R&R!! ^_^
