-1CHAPTER 28:

Two days pass as the Digi-Destined continue their journey across the ocean to the continent of DOS.

The water looks calm and blue in the light of the high noon sun. Nick rides on the back of one of the Dolphmon as does Gazimon next to him. Klaire sits down on Ikkakumon's (Leader) back next to Tyke leaning against the back of Ikkakumon's head.

Klaire: Tyke... What are we going to do?

Tyke: (Exhausted from all that they have been through since they got to this world.) I don't know... I think it is safe to say she is in a coma...

Rachel lays motionless in front of them in the warm fur of Ikkakumon.

Palmon: When we get to the continent we can find a doctor right? (Palmon kneels by
Rachel's side.)

Klaire: Palmon, it might not be that simple. Most digimon probably do not know the anatomy of a human. We really need a doctor from our world.

Tyke: If we could get her back to our world... then we could take her to the hospital.

Klaire looks to her right down at one of the Coelamon.

Klaire: Excuse me?

Coelamon: Mmmm?

Klaire: Do you know a way to get to the human world? Are there gateways here like the one we used to get to this world?

Coelamon: I am afraid I have not heard of any.

Klaire: - (

GhostAgumon: Tyke, is a coma a long nap? (GhostAgumon hovers over Rachel looking at her with curiosity.)

Tyke: No Agumon... It is a really bad head injury, they could last hours, days, or years... sometimes forever.

GhostAgumon: O.O AHHHHHHHHHHHH! (Darts in the air over to Tyke and grabs his head and clings to it.) HOW DO I KEEP YOU FROM CATCHING A COMA!?!?

Tyke: --; ... You cannot catch one... it is when... oh never mind.

Biyomon: (Drops down into Klaire's lap from above.) Klaire, there is land in the distance.

(Biyomon flew up and spotted land.)

Ikkakumon (Leader): Yes, we are nearly there.

Tyke: That's great Ikkakumon. You guys have been a big help.

GhostAgumon: (Floats back to Rachel.) Rachel? Wake up... You are making everyone sad. : (

Palmon: (Eyes full of tears and holding Rachel's hand.) Rachel, please wake up. I need you.

GhostAgumon: Rachel. (GhostAgumon nudges her with his arms.) Wake up...
(GhostAgumon floats over her face and puts his head close to hers) Hmm? (Suddenly GhostAgumon glows and in an instant slams into Rachel and disappears.)

Tyke: O.O AGUMON!

Palmon: O.O AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Tyke and Klaire immediately get up and move over to Rachel.

Tyke: Agumon!

Klaire: What happened to him?

Palmon: He... he went inside Rachel... (Gives Tyke a concerned look.)

Tyke: Great... what do we do now!?!?

MEANWHILE

GhostAgumon falls out of a vortex about 1 mile up in the sky and floats there looking down at a city. The sky is covered in dark red clouds and the vortex above is blood red.

GhostAgumon: O.O Aweeeeee... (Looks around at all of the humans walking around below him... at all of the odd looking structures, at the funny lights that change colors and when they do, the mechanical creatures either stop, slow down, and go.) I WANT ONE OF THOSE! O.O

GhostAgumon floats closer to the ground and hovers around down a street on a sidewalk.

GhostAgumon: Where am I? (GhostAgumon approaches a human and looks up at it.) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (GhostAgumon backs away a few feet.) (The human does not have a face.) (GhostAgumon looks around and sees that none of these humans have faces.)

GhostAgumon: TYKE!!??

The vortex above suddenly flares and a red being floats down out of it. He is transparent and carries a small dark blue pitchfork. This is a Demonic digimon.

GhostAgumon: (Looks up as the creature descends down into the city.) Hey... How did he get here? ... As a matter of fact... how did I get here? Did he follow… me?

GhostAgumon frantically begins to dart down streets through the air searching around the city for Tyke and the others... After about 10 blocks GhostAgumon hears a familiar sound.

Rachel: Yeah, it's so unfair. I had no time last night to finish it.

Girl: Well, we can finish it up during first period.

Rachel: Heh, or I will at least start mine.

Girl: Rach, you know your parents are going to ground you if you flunk a course.

Rachel: Yeah, well...

GhostAgumon: (Darts over to Rachel and floats about 2 feet from her face.) RACHEL! W-what are you doing a... wake? (GhostAgumon looks into her horrified confused face.)

Rachel and the girl she is walking with scream their heads off.

Rachel: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (Smacks GhostAgumon with her bag and sends him flying.)

GhostAgumon: AHHHHHHHH! (Slams into a lamp post.) Xx ow...

GhostAgumon opens his eyes and sees Rachel and the girl running away.

Rachel: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?!? A GHOST!?!?

After about two blocks they stop and take a breather.

Rachel: Man, we are going to be so late today...

Girl: Yeah...

GhostAgumon hovers high into the air and spots them and watches them.

GhostAgumon: Why didn't she recognize me?

GhostAgumon follows Rachel and the other girl to school.

GhostAgumon: Doesn't she see that most of the humans do not have faces? (Hears a clank coming from above and looks up. Standing atop the school is the demonic red digimon. (Boogeymon.)) O.O I have to get Rachel out of here... (The Boogeymon seems to be watching Rachel as she enters the building.)

GhostAgumon floats through the doors of the building and down the empty halls. Classes have already begun. He floats up to each window and looks inside each classroom. Most of them are empty. In fact, the only ones that seem full are the ones in the west wing, where he eventually finds a room with Rachel sitting in it. Study hall.

Rachel exits the study hall with a lav pass. Suddenly to GhostAgumon's shock right before she exits the room, in the hallway about 5 humans without faces appear... out of thin air.

GhostAgumon: O.o wha?

As Rachel walks down the hallway more faceless people appear, but she does not act as if anything strange is going on. GhostAgumon looks back in the study hall and everyone has vanished.

GhostAgumon: That's it! This place is obviously a facility made to torture human children! I AM GETTING HER OUT OF HERE! (GhostAgumon rounds the corner to see Rachel on the ground looking up in terror at the Boogeymon who is coming through the ceiling and slowly levitating down to her.)

Rachel: AHHHHHH! WHAT THE HELL!!!?!!?

Boogeymon: Have you fallen asleep child? I can take care of you...

Rachel: (Throws her bag at him.) GET AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE! (Scared.)

Boogeymon: (The bag goes through him.) That will not hurt me, not while we are here...

Rachel: What do you want?!?

Boogeymon: (Points his pitchfork at her.) Your soul...

GhostAgumon: SPIRIT FLAMES!!!!!!!!!! (Launches transparent purple and white flames at Boogeymon and makes contact with his chest.) (GhostAgumon then floats down in front of Rachel with an angry expression on his face.) Don't worry Rachel... I won't let him hurt you...

Rachel: (Looks up at GhostAgumon.) P-please help me!

Boogeymon: Sooo... I am not the first to come here I see...

GhostAgumon: Who are you!?!?

Boogeymon: I am Boogeymon, Dark Specter of the dream realm. And we my friend, are in this human child's mind... Her soul will be most valuable to me.

GhostAgumon: Inside... her mind!??

Boogeymon surges up.

Boogeymon: DEATH CRASH!!!!!!!!!! (Boogeymon slams down towards GhostAgumon and Rachel.)

Rachel: AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

GhostAgumon: Ugh... (Slammed into the ground as Boogeymon has his neck in his claws.) Rachel! Run!

Rachel: No problem... (Runs down the hallway.)

Boogeymon: She will not get far...

Rachel stops at the end of the hallway.

Rachel::::Why does that little white one look so familiar...:::: (Looks back and sees
Boogeymon crushing GhostAgumon.) Hey... I can't just let that thing hurt him... He saved my life...

Rachel runs up and grabs Boogeymon's pitchfork.

Rachel: HEY UGLY! WHY DON'T YOU PUT SOME CLOTHES ON! (Rachel jams the pitchfork into the side of Boogeymon's stomach.)

Boogeymon screams and roars in pain and lets go of GhostAgumon.

Rachel tries to pull the pitchfork out and go for another stab at him, but it is stuck, so instead lets go and scoops up GhostAgumon and runs.

Rachel: I dunno what you are... But I prefer you haunting me than that thing!

GhostAgumon: (Opens his eyes and groggily looks up at Rachel.) Rachel... you have to wake up... this is not real...

Rachel: What? (She turns the corner and slams open the front doors of the school and runs to the right up towards the football field.)

GhostAgumon: You got hurt... Tyke, Klaire, Nick, Biyomon, Gazimon... and Palmon are waiting for you to wake up...

Rachel: Tyke...? Palmon?... (Rachel stops as she is now in the football field and lets go of GhostAgumon and grabs her head.) Ow... my head...

Boogeymon: You little bitch... I am going to kill you... (Boogeymon levitates over the tree line and touches down on the field.)

Rachel: Why can't I remember certain things? I...

Boogeymon: Rushes in towards Rachel and GhostAgumon with his pitchfork out.

GhostAgumon: TYKE!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile

Tyke's Digivice Shines.

Tyke: Awe... what the... (The digivice shines brightly onto Rachel.) Agumon...

Meanwhile

GhostAgumon: -GIVOLVE TO!!!!!!!!!! (The white dome of light around GhostAgumon shatters and CyberTyrannomon emerges.)

CyberTyrannomon: CYBERTYRANNOMON!!!!!!!!!!

Rachel: (Opens her eyes and looks at the ground and remembers.) Agumon... (Slowly from the back of her head to the front Rachel's goggles materialize.) (Stands up and gazes at CyberTyrannomon.)

CyberTyrannomon smacks the pitchfork downward with his right arm and puts his left launcher arm right up to Boogeymon's chest.

Rachel: (Looks up and CyberTyrannomon.) ... KICK HIS ASS AGUMON!

CyberTyrannomon: Don't you know it's rude to terrorize a girl? ... NOVA ROCKET!!!!!!!!!! (Launches a rocket right into Boogeymon sending him back 15 feet in a cloud of flames.)

Boogeymon: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! (Darts up and flies into the air.)

CyberTyrannomon: And you know something about demons that prey on young girls?

(Points his arm up at Boogeymon.)

Boogeymon: DEATH!!!!…. (Surges.)

CyberTyrannomon: They are usually weak... (CyberTyrannomon aims for the large gash in Boogeymon's injured side and fires his Nova Rocket attack.)

The rocket goes right inside the wound and ignites in the back making Boogeymon himself a living rocket.

Boogeymon: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!! (Boogeymon slams right into the vortex in the sky and vanishes.)
CyberTyrannomon looks back at Rachel...

Rachel: (Looks at Agumon with tears in her eyes.) Agumon... I... I didn't know... I'm sorry I hit you...

CyberTyrannomon: It's alright... You remember?

Rachel: I do...

CyberTyrannomon de-digivolves to GhostAgumon.

GhostAgumon: Well how about I get us out of here... Using my... (Flexes his muscles or lack there of.) HEAVENLY ANGEL POWERS I WILL LIFT YOU OUT OF HERE!!!!

Rachel: O.O... ; Heh... right...

GhostAgumon grabs Rachel by the hands and with all his might rises into the air carrying her up.

Rachel: O.O Looks down And if you drop me... I will kill you...

GhostAgumon: (Straining himself to hold Rachel)

GhostAgumon and Rachel pass into the vortex.

White Flash

Rachel: Ugh... (Slowly opens her eyes.)

Klaire: Oh my God, your awake...

Rachel: Ow... my head...

Palmon: Rachel! (Wraps her arms around Rachel and hugs her.) I missed you!

Rachel: I missed you too...

Rachel looks around and sees she is laying on a beach. To her left is a giant Ikkakumon with a smaller Ikkakumon to its left. To her right, Klaire and Nick kneel beside her. In front of her Tyke holds GhostAgumon who is clearly out of breath and exhausted.

Tyke: You did good Agumon...

GhostAgumon: Xx (Passes out.)
