Author's Note

Capri: Hello out there!!!! *hears an echo* Eh… Oh well, someone has to come eventually, right? The definitions that I put below are just guesses, but I'm pretty sure that's what they mean, okay? If they don't, I'm screwed. Okay, I'm not really screwed. But I am right now cuz I don't even know what I'm talking about. Eh, new subject. Um, cuz someone asked, the reason Gomamon has a boring name is because, well, um… Okay, okay, I RAN OUT OF IDEAS ALL RIGHT!!!!! *calms down* So I just made up a name, and it begins with a "J" just like Joe's name, so I thought what the heck?

Destiny: The insanity lives on…

Capri: Be quiet. Anyways, this has the answer to the couplings question in the last chapter. Clue: it's the people that they get paired up with. As for the digimon that get paired together that weren't in the coupling q, they just become best friends and all that sentimental junk. NO YAOI!!!! But the boy n girl couplings are the people they get paired with.

Gato/Kitty: Through some evil force.

Capri: The evil force known as me! Wait… what are you doing here? And where's Sam?

Sam: I'm right here oh blind one.

Capri: HEY, JUST CUZ I HAVE GLASSES DOESN'T MEAN I'M BLIND!!!!! Uh, did I just say that out loud?

Sam & Destiny: Mmmm hmmm.

Capri: Eh, here's the third chapter. *ducks out of sight*

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. Any lawyer that comes after me will be, uh, that is, I will sic my cat on them.

Chapter 3 Crest Illumination

Morte-death

Echthroi-the enemy

There was the usual blur of codes and data before we ended up once again in the digital world. Only this time, we were the humans. "Well now what?" asked Biyomon. No sooner than she had said this, a VERY bright light flashed, and we were all suspended in dark nothingness. "Can you say deja vu?" blinked Agumon. (A/N The battle with Apocalymon, remember?) "Deja vu," muttered Veemon. I glared at him. "After reading that prophesy over a few more times, I had a feeling this would happen." All of us turned "Gennai!" Gennai nodded. "As I was saying, I reread the prophecy over a few times and had a feeling you would be like this." "Can you change us back?" asked Hawkmon. "Well, no." All of us groaned in disappointment. "However, it might be better if you stay this way. Echthroi and Mortisha would probably find a way to use your identities against you. Also, this way you get extra protection." "Extra protection?" inquired Tentomon. "I'm guessing you mean from Echthroi and Mortisha, but who are they?" "Mortisha and Echthroi are shadow demons, evil beings that are neither human nor digimon. They are twins, something quite rare for their kind. Unfortunately, that allows them to combine their powers, making them almost impossible to beat. Those two have come here before, but were banished by the original Digidestined. (A/N The ORIGINAL original Digidestined. As in the first ones to ever exist) My guess is that they returned for revenge on the Digital World. As for the protection, being human and having digivices qualify you as Digidestined. Your new digimon partners have already been briefed on the situation." No sooner had he said this, then twelve shapes hurled toward us through the darkness. Each immediately went to a person.

I looked curiously at mine. I could tell that it was a Ghostmon. She was about the size of a small human child, and completely see through, as well as colorless. She wore a cloak and hood, so the only thing I could see was two bright brown eyes.

Agumon's partner was an Embermon. He looked rather like a mini Flamedramon, except for the color, and a few other differences. He wore red armor on an orange body. His eyes were a golden color. He also looked less like a dragon than Flamedramon.

A Feelingmon accompanied Biyomon. She was pure white, with a catlike face. Her eyes were black, and the symbols on her fur I am told stand for each emotion. She stood on all fours.

Freezemon, Gabumon's partner, was a frosty blue color. He looked rather like a dog that stood on its hind legs, similar to the way I used to. His eyes were blue.

Plantmon, who was with Palmon, was a plant. She had a thin green stem, with two leaves that looked like hands and two roots that could pass for feet. Her face was quite literally heart shaped and the petals surrounding it were turquoise. She had green eyes.

Gomamon was with an Oceanmon. He was basically just a blue, blue-eyed seal.

Tentomon had a Staticmon. She looked sort of doglike, with shocking yellow fur. She stood erect, with amber eyes.

There was a Brightmon with Patamon. Brightmon was impossible to describe. The only things that I can say about him are that he had silver eyes and glowed like a light bulb.

Thoughtmon, Veemon's digimon, looked like…well, I really don't know. All I can say is that she stood erect, with blue eyes and purple fur.

Hawkmon was partnered with a Forcemon. Since Forcemon constantly change form, I'm not even going to try to describe him. He always kept the same brown eyes, though.

Stormmon was wooly, but looked nothing like a sheep. Actually, she looked closer to a bear. Her eyes were a greenish color, and she stood by Wormmon.

Last, but not least, was the Colormon with Armadillomon. He looked tie-died, being every single color. He looked rather catlike and had pitch-black eyes. (A/N Arg, I hate these descriptions, they take so long and they aren't even interesting!)

"These digimon are capable of a very unique type of digivolving known as crest digivolving. However, it is impossible for them to perform any other type of digivolving, and to perform this particular type, you need to unlock the powers of your crests." "But none of us have our crests anymore," I protested. "And what about these three?" I gestured at Veemon, Hawkmon, and Armadillomon. Gennai didn't answer, but each of us were surrounded by a strange glow. The ones around the older Digidestined's digimon, Patamon, Wormmon, and I were the colors of our partners' crests, though there were three colors around the remaining three as well. The one around Veemon was dark green, the one around Hawkmon was turquoise, and the one around Armadillomon was white. When the glow died down, each of us found our crests hanging around our necks. The symbol on the crest that Veemon had looked like a linked chain. The one on Hawkmon looked like a feather with odd signs in it. The crest that Armadillomon had looked like a diamond. (As in the jewel) "Those are the crests of Harmony, Caring, and Faith. Use them well. Now, be careful, and be sure never to use your real names or give something away about your identity. Those two keep a close watch on the entire Digital World."

There was another flash of light and we were back where we had started. "Well," Agumon began. "The best way to find them would be to split up and search." Since we had the feeling that we couldn't decide how to split up by talking about it, we did the calm, rational thing. We picked names out of a hat. "I can't believe I ended up with you." Veemon complained. "And I suppose you think I'm enjoying it? Nuh-uh." I clutched tightly onto Ghostmon's hand. She can become solid, when she wants to. Through some evil and unknown force, (A/N Which would be me. MWAHAHAHA!) Veemon and I had ended up with each other. The other groups were as follows: Agumon and Biyomon, Gabumon and Gomamon, Tentomon and Palmon, Patamon and Armadillomon, and Hawkmon and Wormmon. To break the silence I commented, "I can't believe you got the crest of Harmony." "Neither can I," he admitted. "Do you speak?" asked Ghostmon curiously to the silent Thoughtmon. Yes. "Neat, you're a psychic!" exclaimed the other digimon excitedly. We walked along silently for a few minutes, each lost in their own thoughts. "Anyone have any idea where we are?" asked Veemon suddenly. "No, why?" I said. "Well, for one, that means we're lost, and for two, look." We were at the border of a jungle like area. I suggest we check here. The jungle is rather elusive, and an ideal hiding spot, said Thoughtmon. "Great," I sighed. "Let's just walk on through this jungle foresty place. Maybe we'll meet a nice, hungry Kawagamon." However, having nothing better to do, we grudgingly entered the jungle area. I once again got lost in my thoughts. Latest topic: why was Veemon so annoying? It could be one of those no answer sort of questions, I thought. Maybe it's just what happened when he, er, changed. Yeah, come to think of it, all of our personalities have changed a bit. I guess there is an emotion sort of difference between humans and digimon. After all, digimon don't really fall in love, right? If I were to fall in love, I wonder who with? Probably Patamon. Wait…how the heck did I get on this topic?! I shook my head. I'm just thinking of the darndest things… Why? "Huh?" Veemon and Ghostmon stared at me. "What do you mean, 'huh?'" "Nothing," I said. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. I stopped. "That was you, Thoughtmon?" Yes. So you can read minds? Yes. If it is uncomfortable for you, I will stop. Thanks, I'd appreciate that. Needless to say, none of us said, or thought, much for a while.

"…Help me…" All of us turned toward the noise. "Huh?" "Someone's in trouble!" said Veemon, and, of course, ran right toward the sound. "Wait a minute Vee! It could be a trap!" I yelled, and ran right after him. Ghostmon naturally followed me, and Thoughtmon had already teleported over to where Veemon was. I finally reached a clearing in the jungle area, but didn't see anyone. "Where'd they go?" asked Ghostmon. "I'm not sure…" Both of us walked into the clearing to look around. Suddenly, the ground gave way. "AAAAAAAAHH!!!" We both fell into darkness. Something hit me in the head and I was knocked unconscious.

When I finally opened my eyes, I wondered if I had. It was pitch black. "Jeez, Vee, you sure have a knack of getting us into these things." "Oh shut up," Veemon said. None of us, including Thoughtmon, sensed the other creature in the darkness.

Hidden from any digimon or human's sight, two figures stood watching the scene with evident amusement. "It looks like they fell into one of our pets' traps," said one of the figures thoughtfully. "Well, that takes care of two of them." "I'm not saying to overestimate them," warned the other figure. "But we shouldn't underestimate them, either. After all, we're not even sure where they came from, these new Digidestined. And it seems that they have allied themselves with Gennai as well." The first figure growled in annoyance. "At least he cannot help them this time. Just as long as there is no apprentice of the crests of Spirit, Destiny, Balance, or Unity, they don't stand a chance." "But what if there is?" murmured the second, clearly in lost thought. A moan from the back of the room made both of them turn. Lying there were twelve motionless figures. The one that had made the sound was the younger of the two brunette girls. "That's the seventh time one of them has done that," said the first figure, his eyes still on the girl. "When do you think they will wake?" The second figure's lips formed a cold, cruel smile. "With a little bit of the old charm, let's see…" her eyes flashed with malice. "Never."

Capri: Okay, weird ending, but I had to put the fate of the Digidestined somewhere. Sorry it took so long. I, uh, got writer's block. Like all my pretty chapters, this was short. Sorry! In the next chapter we shall see Biyo/Bebe and Agu/Andrew! Whoopie!!!

Destiny: So, when are we going to show up?

Capri: I wish never.

Sam: Great! So do we.

Capri: Arg. By the way, Digi Bloop That: Digimon: The Movie is coming soon! Later days peoples! Ciao!!!!
