Chapter 12: The Enemy Revealed, Along with Two Secrets and Two Tragic Deaths

Pov: Mine Location: Digiworld-Genni's house.

"Hey Genni?" I ask the old man

"Yes, Kelsey?" Genni asks in turn.

"Is it all right if my friends and I spend the night here?"

"Of course you can."

"Thank you." was all I said to the wise old man

After a few minutes of setting up Tai and the rest of the group, except for a few people, decide to sleep outside in case something happens. Devimon and Lucemon agree to stay with me inside.

After everyone has gone to sleep I was still awake along with Lucemon and Devimon.

"So Devimon, why did you really stay here?" I ask the fallen angel digimon.

"I have this really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach saying something bad is gonna happen." he replies. Lucemon and I just look at him in shock.

Lucemon sighs before saying," I wish I could digivolve."

"Lucemon, you'll get your chance soon. Hopefully not too soon." I tell my partner.

"You're right Kelsey. I will get my chance, but I hope it's not too soon cause I like the way I am already." As soon as Lucemon says that I feel my eyes get a little bit heavier.

I yawn before saying, "I'm getting a bit tired. Good night Lucemon and Devimon, don't let the Kuwagumon bite." I close my eyes and drift into a deep sleep.

After what seems like sleeping for five seconds I hear Lucemon and Devimon scream at me, "Wake up!" As soon as they say that I wake up, eyes blinking to get the sleep out of them.

"What's going on!" I scream at Lucemon, Devimon, and Genni.

"Someone attacked this house and it's gonna blow! We got the others out." Devimon and Lucemon say together.

"Well let's go!" I shout back, fearing for their lives. As we try on run out of the building, a piece of wood lit on fire tries to crush us but Genni uses some sort of shield and says," Run!"

Lucemon says, "Let me carry you, Kelsey." I simply nod as Lucemon picks me up. We fly for about ten seconds before hearing Genni's yell of pain, which lasts for a few seconds. After that we yell out to Genni, hoping he's alive but all we are met with is the roar of the flames and absolute silence.

"G-guys, I think G-genni's d-d-dead." I manage to get out with tears streaming down my face. As soon as I said that, I hear an evil laugh.

"Fools, you were supposed to die. Well at least that old watcher is no longer around to help you." A female voice harshly says.

"Who the Hades are you?" I ask, gaining a bit of my courage.

"I am Nefretmon, Queen of all evil digimon." she boasts.

As soon as Nefretmon says that Devimon and Lucemon-carrying me- fly out of the ruble as fast as humanly possible. When we get out of the wreckage, Lucemon sets me down on the cool, damp grass.

Lucemon says," I'm gonna help Devimon fight her. I'll be right back, Kelsey." I nod in response. To myself I think,' Devimon was right, something bad was gonna happen. I had the same feeling too, but I didn't say anything. Ugh, I'm so stupid.' As soon as I think that I sigh, life can't ever be easy. I mean I get chosen for some stupid reason to save a world with talking monsters.

"Grand Cross!" I hear Lucemon shout, not to far from where I'm sitting.

"Hell's Contract!" I hear Devimon shout his attack.

"Oh Snap!" I scream, like a total idiot. I get up and run as fast as I can away from the fight.

The fight continues for about five minutes, Lucemon was already turned back to his in-training form.

"I'm getting bored!" Nefretmon says in a whiny voice, sort of like piedmon and puppetmon combined.

"Well then let's finish this." Devimon says while attacking her.

"Not so fast, fallen hero boy." Nefretmon states. She flies in front of where my digimon and I are sitting.

"Violet Swords!" Nefretmon says.

"No!" Devimon screams. He runs faster than he thought possible to block it. He jumps in front of me and Putimon. He blocks the attack, only to pay the ultimate price. His life.

"No!" I shout, tears streaming down my face like twin rivers. Nefretmon floats in front of me.

"Too bad, I missed." She states.

"When we meet again Nefretmon, it will be you who dies!" I shout at her full of rage.

"Well, until next time." she says before vanishing into a cloud of black smoke.

As I sit on the damp grass, I feel tears streaming down my face. Putimon sits on my lap, trying to calm me down.

"Kelsey!" I hear the familiar voice of Tai yell. I slowly look up.

"I'm over here!" I yell as loud as I can. I hear the rest of the group run like lightning to where I am.

"Kelsey, are you ok?" Kari asks me.

"I'm ok as I can be knowing that I'm the one who watched Genni die protecting me, Devimon, and Lucemon. Then watching Devimon die in my arms, saving me from Nefretmon's attack!" I shout, tears pouring down my face. I feel a pair of warm arms wrap around my waist.

"Shhh," Tai whispers to me, "let it all out." As soon as he said that I cry, not bothering to mask my pain. After Forty minutes of crying in despair, Tai whispers to me, "It's time for us to go back to the real world. That way you can tell your mom and we can come up with a plan." I nod in response.

Tai says the same thing he told me to the others.

"Wait!" I shout to my friends.

"What is it Kelsey?" Sora asks.

"Why can't we do something to honor Genni and Devimon, I mean they both put their lives on the line to protect me and all of you guys."

"You're right Kels." Tai says.

"What should we do?" Mimi asks.

"How about we build it after we defeat Nefretmon." I state. The rest of the group nods. We walk to the nearest gate/TV thing we could find.

"Alright! Let's go, Digiport open!" Davis says with his annoying way.

We are sucked into the TV and find us in the computer room, not in a dog pile. We pick our digimon up, notice the time, and run to our lockers.

Location: 7th grade hallway, School

As Kari, T.K., Davis, Ken, and the rest of my friends walk down the hall to our lockers, several people start whispering and pointing at us. I really hope it's not cause of our digimon, cause if it is a few people will end up in the hospital with a broken bone or two.

"Hey Kari?" I ask my boyfriend's sister.

"Yea?"

"How are we gonna explain this, "I say motioning to our digimon, "to the teachers?"

"Easy, we use the age old stuff animal trick." She says smiling.

"Oh." is all I say.

After several minutes of chatting with Kari while we were at our lockers it was time for Home Room, a time most kids can't wait for. I, however can because I'm dreading having to explain my awesome, cute, snow white, furry Digimon friend to my old, knaggy, English teacher, Mrs. Elise. She is the definition of pure undying evil. I walk into class as fast as I can without anyone getting curious.

"Well, what do we have here?" Mrs. Elise says in her normal snooty tone.

'Remember what Kari said.' I think to myself before replying, "It's just my stuff animal."

"Well, next time just put it in your bag."

Before Putimon could say anything and blow our cover, I quickly put my hand over his mouth. I really didn't want him to say something about the Digiworld or the fact he is a he and not an it. This day turned out rather weird, I just hope my mom is ok with me being a Digidestined.

After waiting patiently for the school bus, and my mom, to get here I get a sudden flash. I just hope this feeling is right, but at the same time wrong. I take a deep breath and sigh.

Location: On 049, aka, the bus

"Hey Tai," I whisper to my boyfriend, "how are we going to explain you and the others to my mom?"

"We get off with you no questions asked and explain to her when she gets home from work." He replies.

"Oh."

"You are worrying a lot Kels. Is something wrong?" Tai asks, his chocolate brown eyes sparkling in the sun light.

"Well, there is this weird feeling I have." I say, looking to the ground.

"What is it?"

I take a deep shaky breath, "I think my mom was a Digidestined."

I hear Tai take a sudden in take of breath as soon as I say those words. The very second I said it, I knew I was right. I sigh, fate is twisted no questions asked.

After about three minutes we get to my stop.

"Well, let's go!" I say I bit cheerfully to my boyfriend and friends. We get off the bus faster than lighting to avoid my mom asking questions.

As soon as we are off the bus, Tai says," Kels, you have to tell them what you told me." Everyone looks at me with curiosity burning in the eyes like the flames of a camp fire.

"What is it Kelsey?" Kari asks.

"Well, I think my mom was a digidestined." I say, looking down sheepishly.

"What?" Matt says in disbelief.

"I think she's one of the original group, the group that came before you."

"Why would you think that?" Sora asks.

"Well, when I was bored one day I was looking through my mom's necklaces for one to borrow. I found a crest. The symbol was a set of scales and the color of the crest its self was breath taking."

"Wow." Izzy says in shock.

"That was exactly what I thought. I do remember putting the crest in my special jewelry box my mom gave me. If you want I can show it to you, but you have to follow me."

"Sure." The whole group choruses.

We climb up to flights of stairs, get to my apartments door, and I unlock the door.

"Well, are you guys coming in or do you want Tai, Kari, and myself to get the box?" I ask them.

"How about the second option." Matt says.

"Ok."

Tai, Kari, and myself enter my apartment. I notice my dad isn't home, which I find a blessing.

"Kari, you follow me. Tai please stay in the living room." They both nod.

As soon as we enter my room, I pick up my porcelain, rose pink and white box. I carefully remove the lid.

"Kari! Get Tai!" I shout, my voice full of horror.

"Ok." She runs out of my room to the living room and gets Tai.

"What is it Kels?" Tai asks, his voice full of concern.

"My mom's crest is gone! I'll go check her room for it. Kari can u check my jewelry box? Tai I need you to get Yolie, Mimi, and Sora."

Tai rushes out of the room and gets Sora, Mimi, and Yolie. I sprint to my mom's room, while Kari checks my jewelry box.

"Hey Kari, Did you find anything?" I shout cause we are in two different rooms.

"No, not yet!"

I walk out to the living room.

"Sora can you look in the small jewelry box in the bath room?" I ask her.

"Sure thing." Sora

"Mimi, I need you to help Kari in my room." She nods in response and runs to my room.

"Yolie, I need you to help me out in my mom's room."

With that said we both sprint to my mom's room. As soon as we get in there I look in the box marked bracelets. I spot the opal like crest and let out a sigh of relief.

"Yolie, tell Kari and the other I found it." I tell her, my voice full of happiness and joy.

"OK, Kelsey." Yolie says in her preppy voice.

I slowly pick up the golden chain of my mom's crest and hold it by my index finger and thumb in the light. I'm in so much awe by the crest, as I walk out of her room I almost run into the wall.

"Tai, you can tell the others to come inside so we can start the meeting."

"Sure thing, Kels." my boyfriend tells me, glad I found my mom's crest.

"All right everyone, I found my mom's crest. I guess she found out I had it and went into my room one night and put it back in her jewelry box." I say to my friends.

"It's amazing!" Mimi and Kari say at the same time.

"Yea it is. The stone is like an opal except much more expensive."

"Why are you telling us that?" one of the guys asks.

"I don't want any of you guys to break it!" I shout at them.

"Oh."

"I think I hear something."

"What is it?" Tai asks.

"My mom's home."

"Quick, someone turn on the TV!" Izzy says.

I quickly turn on the TV, find Jersey Shore, and act normal.

"Hey Kelsey. I didn't know we had company." My mom says.

"Hey mom, my friends and I would like to talk to you about something important."

My mom sighs before saying, "What is it?"

"Mom, you might want to sit down."

A look of sudden fear and worry crosses her face," Are you okay? What's going on? Why are you holding my opal 'necklace'?"

I let out a sigh," I'm okay mom. I know you were a digidestined, so no need to hide it. Plus I, along with my friends are digidestined."

My mom just stares at me like I grew a second head. She whispers," No, Azulongmon promised me that you wouldn't get involved."

"Wait what do you mean mom?" I ask her, eyes wide with curiosity.

She takes a deep breath before replying," You see, when you were born Azulongmon informed me of a prophecy. I was afraid you would get involved, so when you were 6 I decided to stop going to the digital world with you and asked the four guardians to erase your memories of the Digiworld. If you want to know the full story ask my partner, it will be kind of hard but all you have to do is say,' Azulongmon.'"

I look at my mom like she grew a second head and sprouted wings on her back. I look at Tai, my boyfriend, and his sister.

"Hey Tai? Are you okay?" I ask him, eyes full of concern.

He looks at me, eyes filled with a new found level of respect for my mom, "Yeah, I'm just trying to get over the shock of what your mom said."

"So am I. It's hard to believe but it's too crazy not to believe."

My mom lets out a sigh of relief before saying," I'm glad you're okay with the fact I kept a secret from you for 5 years. Kelsey, it's obvious to me that you and Tai are dating. Just in case if you were wondering I approve."

"Hey mom?" I ask.

"Yes?"

"When will dad be home?"

"In a few hours. Let me guess you want Tai to meet him?"

"Yeah mom, you read my mind." Several of my friends look at me and my mom with an amused look. Kari, Matt, and Sora look like they're about to explode from laughter. Tai, however looks a ghastly shade of white.

"Relax Tai, my dad is awesome. It's not like he's over protective. He's actually very cool so don't worry." I tell my boyfriend.

"Ok." he says.

My mo tells him," It's better him than my dad. Her grandpa was always very protective of both me and Kelsey."

"Wait, why did you say 'was'?" He asks.

Both my mom and I look at each other and sigh. By now everyone is looking at us.

"You see he passed away a few years ago." I say, my tone dull and lifeless.

Tai quickly wraps his arms around me in a tight hug.

"I'm so sorry, Kels. I didn't mean to bring it up." he whispers in my ear.

"It's ok." I whisper back.

"Kelsey, you're acting very calm for some reason." my mom says to me.

"I'll explain. It's a long tale so you might want to grab a Pepsi from the fridge." I tell my mom.

She nods in response. After hearing the fridge door close, the hum of the soda, the thump of the cup and Pepsi bottle my mom enters the living room.

"Mom, before I tell you this I'm sure my friends have a few questions that I think you should answer." I said, after my mom got comfortable in her chair.

"Sure thing, Boo." my mom replies. I groan in response to my nick name.

Izzy quickly says," What does your crest mean?"

"Well, it's quite simple if you think about it. The symbol is a set of scales, therefore my crest is that of balance." My mom said.

"Who is your partner?" Mimi asks.

Several of my friends, including my mom, sweat drop at this.

"Mimi, if you had paid attention through out my mom's explanation you would know it's Azulongmon!" I said, a bit annoyed.

"Oh." was all she said.

Davis slowly raises his hand and asks," Was there a goggle wearing leader on your team and if so what is his or her name?"

My mom has a faint smile on her face before sighing and replying," Yes there was, his name was Kevin."

I gasp in shock, eyes as wide as saucers." Mom, you mean to tell me that the guy you were gonna marry before he died in Iraq was the leader!"

She nods sadly," Yes he was. He and I, along with his sister were the first group. Don't ask me how we managed saving the Digiworld with it being just us."

Every goggle headed leader looks at my mom with a mixture of awe and respect.

Sora asks, "What was your role? I mean every group member has a role so what was your's?"

My mom chuckles," I was the mother figure and the smart one. Kevin was the reckless but reliable leader, and Michelle was the little sister and a total princess. I think our good traits out weighed our bad, so that's why we were a good team."

"Mrs. Lee, What was the name of the first villain you faced?" Joe asks.

"Well, we had to face Apaylcomon twice and Nefretmon." She states.

All of us, mainly myself, Kari, and Tai gasp in shock.

"Mom, you had to face Nefretmon?"

"Yes I did. Please don't tell me what I think you're going to tell me."

"Well, we have to face her! She already tried to kill me twice!" I shout, fearing rising in my voice.

My mom gasps and exclaims," You mean to tell me that witch as tried to kill you twice! What did she do to you?"

"Well, She blew up Genni's house trying to kill me but Genni died trying to save Devimon, my partner, and myself. She also tried to kill me with swords but Devimon step in front of me and paid the ultimate price."

I feel my mom's arms wrap around me in a tight hug," Sweetie, you could have gotten seriously hurt or killed! When I get my hands on her she will wish she never came back!"

"Mom, it's my fight. She killed one of my friends and an ally. She will suffer by my hands. I just hope Putimon and reach Champion or Mega at the most."

Izzy and the others look at me, confusion written all over their faces.

"What do you mean?" Izzy asks me.

"You see, Lucemon is only a rookie level with the powers and strength of a champion."

"Really. I wonder why Lucemon's data won't appear on my computer?"

My mom clears her throat before saying," Izzy, I asked Azulongmon and the others to keep Lucemon hidden from the rest of the Digiworld."

"So that explains why I can't find the data."

"Exactly." my mom simply says.

After my friends asked the questions we needed to know answers to, the house phone rings. My mom being the closest to the phone answers it.

"Hello?"

"I'm on my way home please unlock the door for me." my dad said.

"Okay. See you when you get home." After that my mom hangs up the phone.

"That was your dad, he'll be home soon. Can you please unlock the door?"

I get up and unlock the door for my dad.

"When he gets home I want you and your friends to explain everything to us." My mom says.

"Ok." We all chorus.

AN: Longest chapter by far! ^.^
