A Strange Prophecy! Kari's Escape

"That is pure genius, my lord!" Demidevimon exclaimed in glee.

A few weeks later at the manor of the Ishida-Takaishi family, Matt found a mysterious scroll in the library.

This is incredible! I must go tell someone what I had found! Matt thought.

Back at castle, a man showed up in Kari's bedroom.

"Ah! Nishijima! You're here!" Kari exclaimed.

"Hush! Quiet, Princess! We have got to get moving!" Daigo exclaimed in a whisper.

"Going? To where?" Kari asked.

"To the new secret base in my home, the Hidden Kingdom," Daigo whispered to Kari. "now pack light, we had better be going, Devimon and his goons are in search of you!"

Kari then packed some necessities into a small suitcase.

Kari basically packed some daytime dresses, her nightgown, her bedroom slippers, a few pairs of daytime shoes, stockings, garters, undergarments, toothpaste, a toothbrush, and a hairbrush.

"Okay, Nishijima," the princess said. "I'm all set."

Daigo inspected Kari's outfit, a yellow sleeveless top, ankle length fuchsia pink skirt, baby pink silk neck scarf, white cotton stockings, and black slip on silk ballet flat shoes.

"You'll need your cloak, Princess." Daigo said firmly.

"Why would I be needing my cloak, Nishijima?" Kari asked in a curious manner.

"Like I said before," Daigo answered Kari in a serious tone of voice. "Devimon and his goons are in search of you!"

"Okay! Okay," Kari said. "I will grab my cloak!"

Kari then raced out of her closet, this time wearing her goldenrod yellow cloak with the hood up.

"Much better, now, Devimon and his goon squad won't be able to spot you." Daigo said to the princess in a whisper.

Kari grabbed her packed suitcase, put the straps over her right shoulder, grabbed Gatomon's left paw with her right hand, and grabbed Daigo's right hand with her left hand.

Daigo magically opened a portal to his homeland using his left hand and he, Kari, and Gatomon stepped inside it.

Back in Digitopia castle, Susumu was signing some very important documents.

When the herald entered the throne room.

"Sir Yamato Ishida is here, my king!" the herald announced.

"Send him in." Susumu commanded his herald.

The royal herald turned to Matt, "You may speak with the king." he said.

Matt entered the throne room, "I need to talk to the prince, do you know where he is?" he asked.

"Tai is in the library." Susumu answered Matt kindly.

Matt bowed, "Thank you, my king." he said.

Matt took off for the castle's library in search of Tai.

Matt found Tai in the library with his nose buried in a book.

"Tai! Hey! Tai," Matt called out. "can we talk? This is important!"

Tai lowered the book he was reading from.

"What is it, Matt?" Tai asked.

Matt produced the parchment scroll that he found in his own family's library.

"I found this in my family's library," Matt told Tai in a serious whisper. "can you make out what this parchment is?"

Matt unrolled the scroll and let the prince examine it.

"Aha!" Tai exclaimed in a whisper.

"What is it, Tai?" Matt asked.

"This scroll of parchment has an ancient prophecy written upon it." Tai answered Matt.

"Can you decipher it?" Matt asked the prince.

Tai then looked at the writing on the ancient piece of parchment.

"This is the Eighth Prophecy!" Tai exclaimed.

"The Eighth Prophecy? Then you can read it, my prince?" Matt asked Tai.

The prince examined the symbols on the ancient scroll.

"Sadly no, I cannot," Tai said to Matt in a serious whisper. "however, I can take the parchment to someone who can make it out."
