DarkFoxKit: A new chapter, hooray! And… uh… Andy, did I see Takuya earlier?

Andy: *Shrugs* I don't know, why?

DarkFoxKit: I thought I saw him earlier, but I left the Digimon Frontier running.

ZAFT: Oh boy… ^^' *Reaches behind a counter* Here he is!

Takuya: Aw man! How did you find me?! *Pouts*

DarkFoxKit: Oh good, so he didn't see the anime that I left running.

Takuya: Anime? What anime?

ZAFT: Nothing! No anime to be found!

Andy: Uh yeah, there's no anime running! … Um… not any anime you'd know!

ZAFT: Why don't we get the chapter up before Takuya sees what is up… ^^'

Takuya: What anime?

DarkFoxKit: Oh look! New chapters! *Grabs Takuya and rushes to the chapter*

Chapter 21: Secrets and Planning

With dinner over, the twins headed up into their room. Andy was carrying Dorimon with him, though he did make sure to feed Dorimon before they left. Leaving Jazz and Lopmon alone with Takuya.

"So what is it, bro?" Danny asked.

"That rabbit on Jazz's head…" Andy said softly. "Maybe I shouldn't say anything, but… you already know about Digimon, and it could potentially be dangerous if I don't tell someone I trust just in case things get dangerous. I'm not strong enough to always keep Jazz safe in case something does happen. I trust you, Danny, so that's why I'm going to tell you that the 'plushy' Jazz has is a real Digimon."

Danny blinked in surprise. "Wait… Jazz has a Digimon on her head?! And she wasn't freaking out?!"

"She had her freak out earlier," Andy said softly. Though most of it was likely due to the fact that she saw you turn into a ghost right before her eyes.

Danny frowned, noticing Andy was hesitant about something. "Andy… what happened?"

"We were attacked by Soulmon," Dorimon spoke up. "Back at that… Els… Pharmacy place. Lopmon, that's the name of the Digimon Jazz has with her, came to defend her. I digivolved, so Andy and I helped out as well. We were getting overwhelmed though. Agunimon was busy, and you were fighting with that ghost again, so it was just us."

Danny gave a bit of a wince at that. "Yeah… Sorry about that…"

"It's okay, bro, you didn't know, and you had to fight that ghost that was terrorizing people," Andy reassured. "We were lucky that the Soulmon decided to retreat when they did, or we could've gotten seriously hurt."

Danny frowned at that. "Yeah… And that would have been my fault because I couldn't defeat the ghost to get to you in time."

"There were 6 Soulmon last we checked. There seems to be more of them lately." Dorimon frowned.

"... Wait, Danny, that ghost you fought… was it the same blob ghost we faced the other day in Spectra's office?" Andy asked.

"Um… Yeah, it was. Though it seems to be able to shapeshift into different creatures," Danny replied. "Why?" Danny had a confused look on his face.

"And that day yesterday at school, that ghost you were fighting, that was the same one too, right?" Andy asked. "The big wasp ghost?"

"I think it's possible, when the wasp ghost spoke, he had the same voice," Danny answered.

"And each time you fought with that ghost, the Soulmon would appear as well," Andy noted. "Whatever that ghost is doing, he apparently needs these Soulmon for something. But what could it be? I've been wondering about that for a while… but…"

Andy frowned a little. "I'm not sure about it. I could be wrong, so I'd rather you don't tell anyone, not Takuya or Jazz, about what I'm about to say next."

Danny blinked before frowning. "Okay, but you need to tell someone at some point."

"I am," Andy said as he looked at his brother. "I'm telling you. Since you have ghost powers, you're the only one who could get the proof I need to see if my theory is true."

"Okay…" Danny said, a bit unsure but willing to help his brother. "What is this theory you have?"

"When you said that ever since you've been talking to Ms. Spectra, you've been feeling worse," Andy started. "And I've noticed that after my own session with Ms. Spectra, I began having doubts, a lot more doubts than usual, so much so I was afraid to even breathe the 'wrong way'. I've also noticed the school was starting to get more… quiet. Ms. Spectra was said to be a renowned teen therapist… but how does she help them exactly?"

Andy paced around Danny's room as he got caught up in his thoughts. "When a kid gets loud and obnoxious, wanting attention, adults see them as a problem child. But when a kid is quiet, and does what they're told to do without complaint, what do adults see? A compliant, good behavior kid. They don't notice a problem, but kids aren't naturally supposed to be quiet and obedient. Something is wrong with them, but they get ignored. They're depressed, and might end up suicidal later on in life. That's exactly what Spectra is doing. All the kids in Casper High going quiet, looking pale and messy… she's making them miserable."

Danny blinked. Now that it was mentioned, he had to admit, that did make sense. "You think Ms. Spectra is doing this on purpose?"

"Yeah… and not just that… I think there's more reason than just making kids 'obedient' and 'quiet'," Andy added as he stopped pacing and looked over at his brother. "It's possible that she's also absorbing their misery. For food, for power, for something else, it doesn't matter, but I've noticed every time she touches me, I would feel really drained. I'm sure you felt the same way."

Danny's eyes widened. "So… you think Ms. Spectra is a ghost?"

"I think it's a possibility. Some myths about ghosts did mention that they could absorb human emotion, and could maliciously bring out their negativity to get stronger," Andy explained. "As for the Soulmon, I feel that Ms. Spectra, and her assistant Bertrand, who I believe could be that shapeshifting ghost you've been fighting with this past week, she and Bertrand must be planning to use them for something big."

Danny's eyes grew wider. "Then… She isn't helping anyone at all! This is a plan we need to stop, whatever it is!"

"Okay, Danny, calm down and bring yourself back for a second," Andy quickly said, getting Danny to blink. "Like I said before, this is all just a theory. I have no proof that this is even the case. Ms. Spectra could be human with ill intentions, or she truly thinks she's helping people. This is why I said your ghost powers will come in handy here. You can go into Ms. Spectra's office after she finishes her sessions. You can go invisible and see what she and Bertrand are doing behind closed doors. You'll have to keep your own powers as suppressed as possible so they won't sense you if they are ghosts."

Danny looked down in thought. Andy does have a point. He then looked back up at his brother. "Okay, bro. I will see what I can find out about Ms. Spectra."

"But that'll be for tomorrow. She and Bertrand are probably home right now, and we have no idea where that is," Andy chuckled.

Danny blushed. "I knew that…"

Dorimon was just running around their room as Andy was talking, he enjoyed being able to run once in a while, and he felt that it was important that the brothers just had their talk with each other.

"And there's one more thing…" Andy spoke up.

"What is it?" Danny asked.

Andy wanted to tell Danny that Jazz saw him transform, but he knew there was a reason why Jazz didn't tell Danny that she knew, well, other than the fact that Takuya was there as well. "... I think that you should tell Jazz that you're half ghost, if not now, then some time soon. She and Lopmon may end up becoming partners at some point, and it would be best if she didn't remain in the dark about your ghost half."

Danny frowned at that. "I… I don't know…" He rubbed the back of his head. "But… I will consider it. It may be of some help down the road."

Andy gave a small smile. "If nothing else, I know Jazz will be understanding and supportive. You know I was before I even knew you were half ghost and thought Phantom was a separate being who was living inside you. And maybe think about telling Takuya as well at some point."

Danny gave a nod. "Okay. I will think about it."

Meanwhile, after Andy took Dorimon and Danny upstairs into their room, Jazz put Lopmon down on the kitchen table so she could head without accidentally having Lopmon falling down from her head. Lopmon, however, was looking at Takuya nervously.

Takuya looked at Lopmon, and while he was sure he had seen Lopmon before, it had been four years since then, so his memory was a bit fuzzy. Of course, he had to know if Lopmon was real and not an actual plushy.

Jazz looked at her cousin, noticing that he had been staring at Lopmon for a while now. "... So… is there something about this plushy that interests you, Takuya?"

Takuya swore to himself in his mind as he realized he had been staring again. "Um… not really. It just looks so… life-like… Like it's alive…" He trailed off here, unsure of what to say next for fear of revealing he knew about Digimon.

"Yeah… I suppose it does seem pretty life-like," Jazz agreed. "I'm starting to see why Andy is so attached to his plushy. Maybe we should get you and Danny one too, it might help relieve some stress."

"No… There's no need to do that, Jazz." Takuya replied. "It's fine." However, he looked back at Lopmon again. He swore he could see Lopmon blink at him. "Um… Did that 'plushy' just blink at me?"

"Why would a plushy blink at you? Maybe you're just so stressed this week that you're starting to see things," Jazz stated in concern. "Maybe you should try to get some sleep earlier tonight."

Takuya frowned at that, but decided it was for the best. "Yeah, you're probably right. Maybe I am seeing things…"

"But…" Jazz spoke up suddenly. "... You know… if there's anything going on, even if you don't think I'll understand, you can talk to me about it. I promise to keep an open mind."

For a moment, Takuya did want to tell her about his ability to evolve, but decided against it. It was best he kept it to himself for now. "Okay, Jazz. I'll keep that in mind." He gave her a small smile.

"Great. Now eat your dinner before it gets cold," Jazz chuckled.

Takuya nodded and began to chow down.

Later, that night, Takuya couldn't sleep. He needed to know if that Digimon with Jazz was real or not, and something about that Digimon was familiar enough to send bits of warning bells through his head.

He sat up in bed, his hand on his D-Tector. Takuya got up and proceeded to creep out of his room and down towards Jazz's room. Normally I wouldn't be doing this, and I know it will tick Jazz off, but I need to know who that Digimon is.

As Takuya walked down the hallway, he stopped at the twins' door for a moment. He opened the door just a crack to check in on his twin cousins for a moment. Both Danny and Andy were asleep soundly in their beds. Dorimon was curled up at the foot of Andy's bed, almost like a little dog. Takuya couldn't help but grin at the scene before he closed the door and made his way over to Jazz's door. To his surprise, he saw the lights were on on the other side of the door.

Takuya pondered opening the door, but decided against it. Instead, he put his head to the door to see if he could listen in on anything Jazz might be doing.

Takuya did hear Jazz's voice. "You sure about this?"

Then a voice that sounded both familiar yet unfamiliar spoke back. "Yes, I am. I have been chased since I got to this world after going after Seraphimon, and I really would appreciate some shelter here. I know that you're not familiar with Digimon, but I can tell that you're a pure hearted person who only wants to help her brothers and cousin."

Takuya narrowed his eyes as he listened in. Did that Digimon mention Seraphimon? And why is the little guy being chased?

"But what if those other Digimon find out you're here?" Jazz asked.

"Then I'll leave. I won't put you or anyone in your family in danger," The other voice promised. "But… I don't have anywhere else to go, nor do I have many others who I can trust. Those who I thought were my friends have been turned against me. And the Legendary Warriors… may not trust me at all."

Hearing that, Takuya felt his heart beat quicken. Who is this Digimon? They know of the Legendary Warriors, but then again, so does the rest of the Digital World so it's not a surprise. But us not trusting this Digimon? Who would we not trust?

"What… or who are these Legendary Warriors that you mentioned?" Jazz questioned.

"Right… humans in this world aren't familiar with them…" The voice noted. "They are… really powerful Digimon spirits, they are able to transform anyone they deem worthy into a Digimon, and grant them the ability to fight like Digimon. There are ten of them, each with their own human and beast spirit forms, and they are also masters of their own elements. They are known as the Legendary Warriors who saved the Digital World, the world I came from, from a malicious and powerful Digimon called Lucemon. And they did it again recently."

Takuya pondered what was being said. The information is not all that new, but… it doesn't tell me who this Digimon was, or is.

"Okay, but they sound like heroes… why wouldn't they trust you?" Jazz asked. "Did you have some kind of history with them yourself?"

At this, Takuya listened carefully, grateful that his smart older cousin asked that question.

The other voice hesitated for a moment. "... Well… I do have a history with them… but it wasn't… the greatest history."

"... What's wrong? What happened between you and these Legendary Warriors?" Jazz asked, her voice sounding concerned.

Takuya pressed his ear closer to the door. Nice going Jazz...

"I… I was the reason why they were called into the Digital World in the first place… and the one who triggered Lucemon's reawakening… I corrupted Digimon, and sent them to fight with those kids who had inherited the spirits of the Legendary Warriors, I even tried to brainwash one of them under my control… I was… corrupted myself…" The voice answered softly, filled with regret.

That jogged Takuya's memories as his eyes went wide. Lucemon's reawakening… brainwashed one of them… Corrupted himself… Cherubimon?!

Memories of Cherubimon flooded into Takuya's head, he remembered how hard it was to take down that rabbit. Even after he and Koji unified evolved to stop him, Cherubimon still put up one hell of a fight. He and the others had suspected Cherubimon might have been corrupted again, and was responsible for Seraphimon's recent corruption.

But something seemed off. Takuya narrowed his eyes at the conversation as he played it out in his head.

"Who were these kids? You mentioned before that 5 human kids from Japan were called into the Digital World, and that they inherited these Legendary Warrior spirits, but you didn't say who they were," Jazz questioned.

"I don't think those kids would want their identity to be revealed," The voice, whom Takuya believed had to be Cherubimon, answered.

Oddly enough, Takuya felt grateful to the once corrupted Celestial Angel Digimon for that save. The idea made him wince internally. Wow… That's something you don't get to feel every day...

"Right… I guess that's understandable…" Jazz sighed. "Kind of like Danny…"

Takuya perked up at hearing that. Hold on… Did she mention Danny? Can I find out Danny's secret?

"I believe it would be a very similar situation," Cherubimon agreed. "Still… even though I know who the Legendary Warriors are, I can't trust that they wouldn't attack me on sight as well."

"It's not your fault with what happened, Lopmon," Jazz said gently, speaking the Digimon's name. "You were corrupted, as you said."

Takuya gave a slight gasp at the name. No wonder that voice sounded familiar and yet not… That's Cherubimon's Rookie form! How did I forget about that!?

"Even so, I lead myself to become corrupted. I started a war that shouldn't have been started with Seraphimon and Ophanimon. I felt like the beast type Digimon were getting the short end of the stick when it came to equality and power. I felt Seraphimon was putting in too much law and order when some things should be left to chaos and the wild. Beast Digimon thrive on chaos and living in the wild after all, much like how animals in your world do," Lopmon explained. "While I did what I thought was for the best… I just ended up hurting my fellow beast types as well, and became hungry for more power."

Takuya frowned as he heard this. I guess I never considered Lopmon's side of the story before… I guess there is more to a person, or Digimon, than what is first assumed...

"I understand… sometimes war are started over misunderstandings…" Jazz said softly. "But… you seem to regret your actions now."

"Of course. All I wanted after I was cleanse from my corruption was to start over with Ophanimon and Seraphimon, and become friends again. And it looked like I would get my wish when we were reborn together," Lopmon sighed. "But… well… things were looking up. After the kids saved both our world and yours from Lucemon, after creating a miracle called Susanoomon, they went back home. Time passed in the Digital World, while it might have been a short time for them, it was several years to us. They were already being mentioned in history books. Ophanimon, Seraphimon, and I all digivolved into our mega forms again, and we decided to better listen to each other from now on to avoid what happened before."

Then Lopmon paused for a moment.

"But something went wrong?" Jazz pushed.

"Indeed…" Lopmon sighed. "Something odd was going on with Seraphimon lately. He told us he saw something going on at Death Crate, it's what we called the big hole where Lucemon came out of, so he went to go check it out. But when he came back, he was starting to act weird. He began talking nonsense about wanting to go to the human world, and asking why should we be stuck here when the human world had more to offer, after all, the Legendary Warriors chose humans to inherit their spirits. And it was humans who saved both worlds. Ophanimon and I explained to Seraphimon that Digimon can't live in the human world, just as humans can't live in the Digital World forever."

Takuya narrowed his eyes as he heard that next bit. Huh… So Cherubimon isn't behind the corruption of Seraphimon? He shook his head. He wasn't about to believe it just because it was told to Jazz. No, I need to get more evidence before I assume what Lopmon is saying is true...

"So what happened after that?" Jazz asked, sounding curious.

"Seraphimon started becoming more aggressive. He began to snap at Ophanimon when she tried to discourage his line of thinking. He even almost attacked me when I told him to stop," Lopmon continued. "Then, Seraphimon suddenly began flying somewhere, saying how he 'found it'. Ophanimon and I were concerned about Seraphimon's behavior, so I told Ophanimon I would go see what's going on with Seraphimon while she stayed at the tower to keep a watch over things. So I followed Seraphimon, and I found him looking at something. I wasn't sure what it was, but it looked like a barrier of some kind in the sky."

Takuya blinked as he heard this next part. Wow… I guess I'm learning more than I expected here. I just wanted to know who the Digimon was, not a whole story.

"I called out to Seraphimon, and he sounded like he had gone mad. He kept saying that he would break through the barrier between our worlds. I tried to stop him, but he ended up attacking me. We both started fighting. I was trying to knock him out, and hopefully find out why he's been acting this way. But our battle was strained, and because we were so close to the barrier, it must've finally shattered during our battle. With the barrier broken, it sucked both of us in. The next thing I knew, I woke up somewhere completely different. I knew it wasn't the Digital World, and I was in this smaller form you see before you now."

Takuya frowned to himself. Okay… I think I have enough information. I should get back to my room so I can get some sleep. He stood up from where he had been kneeling and crept back to his room, deciding to let his mind process the information he had just heard as he slept. Perhaps I can make a decision on what to do tomorrow...

Even though Takuya went to bed, Jazz still had more questions.

"Why were you being hunted though?" Jazz asked.

"I can only assume Seraphimon brainwashed them into believing I was evil again, though he was also using Digimon who are naturally evil to try to capture me as well," Lopmon answered. "Do you know why I'm telling you all this, Jazz?"

Jazz shook her head. "No, I don't."

"Because I feel I can trust you, and it would be best if you knew what was going on," Lopmon explained. "Your brother with the Dorimon, and you, I feel like you both can work together to put a stop to whatever Seraphimon plans to do."

Jazz blinked before she smiled a little. "That's nice to hear, Lopmon, but I think, based on what you said, this should be left to these Legendary Warriors."

"The Legendary Warriors are scattered right now. Even if they weren't, only 5 of them are here, while the other 5 are… unavailable, without all of them here together, it would be impossible for them to unify and create stronger Digimon to fight back against Seraphimon. And even if they were all here, Seraphimon knows them, he knows how they fight, he had watched them throughout their adventure," Lopmon warned. "He doesn't know much about Tamers, however, that's why I feel your brother and Dorimon have the advantage."

Jazz frowned. "That is true…" She put a hand to her chin in thought. "So that's why you said Andy and Dorimon are the best bet right now…"

"Yes…" Lopmon paused for a moment. "I don't know much about Tamers either myself, like how they're chosen to become partners with a Digimon. Or if they choose each other instead of destiny choosing them. With the Legendary Warriors, the children had to be chosen to inherit the spirits. This… this is something new for me."

Jazz blinked before she put a hand on Lopmon's head. "Well, it seems to be new for all Digimon since this has never been done before. I think it will be interesting to see what comes of this."

"It has happened before. There were ancient stories about Digimon becoming partners with humans, but the stories were unsure if the human and partner were chosen by destiny or if they had chosen each other," Lopmon informed.

Jazz chuckled here. "Well, regardless, it will be good to see which stories are true and which are not. If the humans can choose to be partners with Digimon, you will know. And if it is the other way around, well, that can't be that bad either, right?" She rubbed Lopmon's head playfully.

Lopmon blushed at being rubbed on the head, though Jazz was careful not to touch his three horns.

"Yeah… since you agreed to help me, I'll try my best to protect you from those ghost creatures that seem to pop up in your town a lot. And I'll try my best to protect you from other Digimon if I can," Lopmon replied.

Jazz smiled a bit at that. "That's sweet, but against the ghosts, I think we can leave that to my parents and brother Danny since they are the real ghost fighters. Against the Digimon though, I appreciate it."

"I will say that your ghost brother does fascinate me, he appears to be a ghost, yet not a ghost," Lopmon muttered.

"It's good to be fascinated." Jazz assured Lopmon. "But don't let Danny know that. He may freak out."

"Heh, I do look forward to meeting him though," Lopmon chuckled. "If he's anything like Andy, I'm sure he'll be a pleasure to talk to."

Jazz smiled at hearing that. "Oh, you will like him, trust me~"

"But for now, we better get some sleep. I've already kept you up longer than you should be on a school night," Lopmon stated. "And yes, we do have school in the Digital World as well."

Jazz blinked. "Wow." She then smiled again. "I guess Digimon and humans aren't all that different." She then yawned. "But yeah… I have to give a speech tomorrow anyway…"

The next morning, at Casper High

"Dash… um… are you okay?" Andy asked his former bully in concern, seeing Dash looking pale, his hair was a mess, and he looked tired seeing the bags under his eyes.

"I've been up all night looking for those Soulmon… haven't found them…" Dash yawned. "I feel so useless… I think Ms. Spectra had a point in saying I may just end up with a dead end job after I graduate high school."

Andy shook his head. "You shouldn't listen to Ms. Spectra. You're doing a lot better in class, and you're passing your own tests instead of getting a nerd to do it for you lately."

Dash looked at Andy with a smile. "You're right. I have been doing better lately…" He seemed to regain some energy, but it wasn't enough to snap him out of his depressed state. "Or maybe I think I am… I don't know…"

"Dash, you decide your own future, not the school, and certainly not the self proclaimed teen therapist," Andy said firmly. "You weren't chosen by a Legendary Warrior spirit for nothing, you know?"

Dash couldn't help but yawn, and shake his head.

"Maybe you should take an early nap or something." Andy frowned in concern. "You look like you're about to keel over."

In fact… everyone looks like they could use a nap… Andy noted, seeing how everyone else around them looked pale, drained, unmotivated, and depressed. How could the school staff look at this and think there's nothing wrong?

Dash gave a look to Andy. "Maybe I do need some rest." He yawned again. "Ugh… Late nights are not my friend…"

Dash began to walk away, but stumbled a bit before hitting one of the lockers. Dash shook his head, trying to get himself lucid before walking away. Dorimon peeked out from the backpack.

"He doesn't look so good," Dorimon noted.

"Everyone looks like they're half dead," Andy agreed, though he chuckled a little at the pun he made.

"I don't know whether I should laugh or not…" Dorimon said with a deadpan look.

"Hey, it was a good one," Andy pouted. "Oh, here comes Danny, finally."

Danny, Tucker, and Sam walked over to Andy.

"Jeez, is it just me or is this the worse Spirit Week in the history of spirit weeks?" Sam asked, looking around the school.

"Indeed, you guys look like you're colorful in this world of misery gray," Andy chuckled.

Danny chuckled as well. "Don't say that, bro. My ghost form has no color."

"Yes it does. You still have your skin color, your eyes are green, and technically black and white are colors," Andy pointed out. "And it's brighter and more vivid than the entire school right now."

Danny groaned. "Forget I said anything…" He smacked his head against a locker.

"What's his problem?" Tucker asked.

Danny sighed. "Bad joke on my part."

"At least there's someone here who's not letting everyone's depression get to her," Andy chuckled, looking over at Jazz, seeing her walking down the hall with a big smile on her face, he could see Lopmon's ears sticking out of her backpack.

Danny perked up at seeing Jazz with her 'plushy'. "Wow, Jazz has her plushy with her? I didn't think you would rub off on her, bro~" He gave Andy a teasing grin with that last sentence.

"I'm going to need to talk to Jazz about talking to you about her 'plushy' later," Andy groaned, not liking that there were so many secrets between his own family that it was making his head spin. How did I end up as the medium for all of their secrets?

"So what did you want to tell us about Dr. Spectra?" Tucker asked, preferring to call Ms. Spectra 'doctor' instead. "Danny just told us to talk to you about it."

"I can tell you my suspicions about her," Andy said. "And you two may be able to help confirm it, but if you do, I should warn you that you'll be used as bait, and you're very likely to get depressed and drained like the rest of the school."

Tucker looked at Sam, who gave him the same look before both looked back at Andy.

"We will do what we can to help." Tucker said. "I do find it weird the students are all depressed after seeing Dr. Spectra myself."

Andy nodded before he went on his explanation about what he thought Spectra was doing, how she could be a ghost who was absorbing people's misery as food, making herself younger or more powerful, at least Andy believed that was what she was doing from what he was seeing.

"But if Spectra was a ghost, wouldn't Danny's ghost sense let him know?" Sam asked.

"No, because Spectra keeps her room really cold," Andy answered. "I've noticed that all of our breaths that come out look very similar to Danny's ghost sense, it was likely due to the fact Spectra is a ghost that it affected our misty breaths, and also to throw off Danny's ghost sense, or at least make him not realize his ghost sense was going off."

Tucker blinked. "That… makes a surprising amount of sense." He could recall when he had his own ghost sense due to Desiree. His ghost sense had reacted to other ghosts, and a ghost would want to hide if Danny was able to pick up on them with it.

"It's also possible that those Soulmon are working for Spectra and her assistant," Dorimon spoke up. "At least we think they are."

"But the question remains… why? Why do they want these Soulmon?" Andy stated. "This is why we need Danny to go into Spectra's office and find out what's going on."

Danny gave a look to his brother. "Don't worry, bro. I will do that and hopefully, if we can find out what those Soulmon are up to, we could get those Legendary Warrior guys to help us." He then remembered Andy's last battle with the Soulmon. "Um… no offense! I just think it would be helpful in case we get overwhelmed!"

Andy sighed. "We probably will, especially since there seems to be more Soulmon every time we see that shapeshifting ghost, who I think is Bertrand."

Tucker blinked. "Bertrand is that ghost?"

Danny looked at Tucker. "Yeah, at least, Andy told me that he suspects Bertrand of being the ghost anyway."

"So how can we help?" Sam asked.

"You two are the only ones in this school who haven't had a session with Dr. Spectra, and Takuya, but I don't know where he is right now," Andy answered. "So the idea is that you both go see her for a session, and after that, Danny sneaks in while she's distracted so she doesn't sense him."

Tucker nodded. "Sounds straightforward enough."

Sam smirked. "This will be interesting."

"Just remember not to take any of her so-called advice to heart… I would never forgive myself if she messed both of you up for life," Andy said softly.

Sam gave Andy a hug. "That's sweet, Andy. And don't worry, we won't take it to heart."

Andy hadn't expected Sam to hug him, but he did appreciate the comfort. "Thanks Sam… now go hug Danny before he gets jealous~"

Sam went as red as a tomato when Andy said that. "Andy!" She exclaimed, but it came out as a squeak, which Danny found somewhat adorable.

"What are you waiting for, Sam? Hug him~ you know you want to." Tucker smirked, to which Sam punched him in the shoulder. "Ow! Hey! Why do I get punched?"

"You know what for!" Sam countered, her face still as red as a beet. She gave a glance at Danny, who also went slightly red in the cheeks.

Dorimon was giggling in Andy's backpack.

"Ahem… Okay. Let's go, Sam." Tucker said as he grabbed Sam and began to pull her away towards Spectra's office. Both Sam and Danny still were glancing at each other, still blushing slightly before Sam turned away and yanked her arm out from Tucker's grasp, walking beside him still.

"Did you have to make it awkward, bro?" Danny grumbled.

"Until you and Sam confess to each other, yes, yes I will," Andy answered back.

"I don't even know if she likes me back," Danny hissed.

"Then you must be really clueless, bro." Andy rolled his eyes. "Or you're making yourself be clueless."

Danny pouted at that.

"But enough about that, you should get yourself ready for operation; spy on Spectra. I'm going to go look for Takuya," Andy stated.

Danny nodded before he went off in the direction of Spectra's office, leaving Andy to search out their cousin.

Titanic X: ZAFT: You will see soon~
