Chapter Twenty Five: Alone or Not

We walk towards the rose morning star. We walk on a long path that curves around the side of a mountain.

"I'm in charge." J.P said happily, as he took the lead and walk ahead.

"Who elected him?" asked Takuya.

"He's just showing off." Zoe stated.

"What if we don't want to see what he's showing?" Koji said.

"I wanna be leader too." Tommy said.

"After J.P I-I guess" I said rubbing my cold arms.

"Again?" asked Zoe.

"Yea… sorry" I said. I had gotten used to the pain that usually comes with every new change,but recently the pain has subsided and only the cold lasted.

"So this time it's…?" I asked when everything went clear again.

"Brown. Let's find out what it does." Said Zoe as we continue to walk along. I brush the rose petals off my shoulder and walk on.

Bokomon and Neemon walk faster than J.P as he chanted his marching song. J.P walk took another step, the ground broke and he shuffled backwards. We watch as the ground between us and Bokomon disappeared and we flew upwards into a labyrinth.

"Where are we?" I asked landing on something soft.

"Sakura get off me" Takuya said.

"O sorry" I said and quickly got off.

"This is not like any other rock. It's spondee like" said Takuya squeezing the wall.

"That's strange." I said. J.P went to look at a tunnel and was push through an eye.

J.P. look around seeing nothing he thought would be in an eye. He started to look around himself. Soon a piece of what seems to be rock moved and out came…a digimon with a volcano top on his back. He started singing to Beetlemon and Beetlemon would freeze up.

"Where did J.P go?" asked Takuya.

"In there." said Zoe.

We walk towards a tunnel and at the end of it was an eye.

"Who decorated this place?" asked Takuya.

"I dunno but it probably the same person who made Duskmon freaky costume." I said innocently. They all turn to look at me.

"What?" I asked completely clueless.

"X-antibody" said Zoe.

"How long will it last?" asked Takuya obviously annoyed with it. "

Sorry" I said.

"Don't be and if you ask me you seem cute this way." Said Tommy.

"Thank you" I smiled the famous cute smile.

"Aw" Zoe said and cuddle me like some doll, while the boys blush.

"So we know that brown is innocent" said Zoe marking it down.

"Argh my head hurts all these changes aren't good…" I said almost fainting but Koji caught me.

"They'll just coming too fast…" I said tiredly, I had added about eight new colors in one day. "Not again." I said feeling the cold again but something else as well. I screamed and clutch my head and fell to the ground.

"Sakura!" They screamed.

An X appeared on my shoulder that look like the letter X with a small horizontal line where the two meets. Also behind it, connecting to one of the corners was a spear like cross that went up along the X making it all fancy as it twirled and spiral around.

"Her arm" Tommy shouted. There was something different about the change this time instead of a different appearance there was just an add-on. The scar sizzled on to my arm burning it way there. When the scar cool down I started breathing regularly again.

Beeltemon was talking to someone but he didn't know who. Someone was convincing Beeltemon that he doesn't have any friends. The same someone identify himself as Beeltemon's shadow. The ground started shifting and Beeltemon J.P was pushed up on a beam.

Takuya turn his head to the eye all of the sudden.

"Something wrong?" I pant.

"No more like a hunch, I think J.P is in trouble." Said Takuya. Wooden plates started to fall from the ceiling. Slimly red hands started to appear and grab people. I ran to my feet and back up against the group.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Don't know" answered Koji. We all spirit evolved.

"Hurricane wind"

"Arrows of Artemis"

"Pryo Punch"

"Lobo Kendo"

"Crystal Breeze"

"So you think J.P is in there?" I asked as I reverted back to myself.

"Yep" Takuya said and we ran in.

We saw J.P fighting in a rink with another – what seems to be – a black Beetlemon. "J.P" we shouted and ran over only to see thousand of 'us' but they weren't real. He saw us and smiled and then beast spirit evolved to MetalKabutrimon. The darker one seemed to do the same thing.

"How can there be two?" asked Tommy.

"Bolo thunder" shouted the darker MetalKabuterimon. It hit MetalKabuterimon but nothing happened. The shadow seemed shocked. "Electron Cannon" MetalKabuterimon said firing at the shadow at very close range after the shadow warned him about the cost.

When the light faded we ran toward the collapsed J.P.

"Jeep" Koji called

"J.P" we all called. Takuya help J.P up.

"Did you just called me Jeep?" asked J.P

"Yea but don't tell anyone" he joked.

"You guys are really my friends." Said J.P

"Of course, Jeep" I said using his new nickname.

The red hands appeared once again. The first one came pushing up we all dodge it but it turn and push me down. I fell into an eye. "Sakura" They called while Zoe ran and sank into another. "Zoe" Soon everyone was pushed in
