New Threats--Part V
Ruki growled angrily at the being that had confronted her as she fled the Ishida apartment.
"You failed, Ruki. Admit that you will never be as useful to Creed as I," the person was taunting.
In the coldest tone she could possibly use, Ruki stated: "Creed brought me on his quest for a reason, Cin. The only reason he brought you was because he likes you."
Cin smiled, flashing perfectly white, straight teeth and icily replied: "is that really the reason? How do you know that for a fact?"
Ruki gritted her teeth and jerkily said: "you know it's true."
"Really? I think he values brains over brawn myself. Or in this case psychic over claws."
With these words, Cin stepped from the deep shadows of the building. She was not adorned in the black that nearly everybody wore. Instead she wore a short red dress that set off the red streaks in her otherwise light brown hair. She looked like a normal person besides the fact that her eyes were an intense purple color.
"Will you stop with your inflated ego?" Ruki muttered.
The dazzling smile dropped from Cin's face and she hissed: "inflated ego? I think I have a right to think highly of myself. You think I am incorrect in this? I will prove it to you."
Cin turned to leave.
"What are you going--"
"Not only will I capture fugitive #0012-Ishida, I will take care of those two boys you stood no chance against," Cin interrupted.
With those words, Cin left the room.

Izzy was still walking through the town. He got the idea he probably shouldn't be outside after the sunset in case of searches, but he wanted to try and find some of the other Digidestined.
As he turned around a corner, he came face to face with somebody who lacked the mask that obscured the features: it was Mazu.
Immediately, Mazu demanded: "what are you doing out here at this time? You know the rules, nobody out after 6:00!" Something about the way this person spoke gave him shivers down his spine. Perhaps it was the strange way they held onto every s they pronounced.
"Important business with Creed," Izzy quickly lied. He was very glad for the mask, as he was sure his facial features were showing otherwise.
The lady hesitated for a moment and Izzy felt as though he was going to jump out of his skin when he saw her dart a snake-like tongue across her lips before she stated: "really. Well, you know the drill. Lets see some ID."
Izzy's eyes widened in surprise and he quickly lied: "there's no time! If Creed finds out you stopped me you'll be in big trouble!"
The lady narrowed her eyes and questioned: "are you implying that you are higher than me, kid?"
She curled back her lips in a grimace of disgust and Izzy was shocked to see that this lady had a pair of fangs.
Slowly, he started backing away as he replied: "of course not! I'll just be on my way now!"
"Oh no you don't!" the lady shrieked as Izzy turned and bolted back the way he had come.
He could hear her footsteps pounding behind him, getting closer and closer as he turned corner after corner trying to get away.
Inevitably, he reached a dead end. The chain link fence was high, but then he noticed that there was a small hole underneath part of it.
Normally, he wouldn't try to squeeze through it, but this was desperate.
He could hear the snake-lady turn down the ally-way he was in as he squeezed his head through the small gap.
The bottom of the fence was digging into his back, but his shoulders were now through, then his waist, but then he felt a hand on his foot, pulling him back out.
With all the strength he could muster Izzy kicked his foot. There was a cry of pain and then he felt his foot dropped.
Quickly he pulled his legs through the hole and looked back through the fence. The snake-lady was holding her nose and blood was seeping through her fingers.
She glared at him and shouted: "I'll find you! You can run but you can't hide from me!"
Izzy was already racing away from the fence and back onto the main street.

Matt sat on a piece of his bed mattress that had remained intact with a sigh of relief. The relief was short-lived when TK gasped trembled: "it's not over yet. Something's here."
"Ruki's gone," Matt reasoned. "How do you know somebody else is here?"
TK shook his now hatless head and explained: "I don't know. I just do."
There was a moment of silence before Matt said: "we've got to get a plan. And we've got to find the others. There's no way we can beat Creed on our own."
TK nodded in agreement before a look of panic crossed his face and he desperately whispered: "Matt, we've got to get out of here. Now."
Before Matt could question what TK was talking about, a crash from down the hall reverberated.
"Dad," Matt muttered, running down the apparently empty hall. He stopped at the sight of his father's bedroom.
Cin stood over a now unconscious Mr. Ishida, eyes glowing an eerie purple color. She suddenly looked at Matt and smiled before nonchalantly saying: "hello. You must be Yamato. As you can see, your father is...how shall I say this...disabled for the moment." She paused for a second before adding: "your turn."
Matt realized what was happening and darted back down the hall and yelled: "TK, get out!"
"Ah, ah, ah... I thought I said it was your TURN!" Cin shouted.
Matt felt as though he was unable to move quite suddenly as a light violet light surrounded him.
"And you certainly wouldn't want to miss that," came Cin's voice in a silky tone.
Matt saw TK dart from his room and heard the apartment door slam closed.
Cin turned back to Matt and muttered: "you wait here." She pointed to the back wall of the hall and he was flung against it, the violet light still preventing movement.

TK knew he couldn't go down to the streets below; the chances that more of Creed's supporters were waiting for him were high. But he knew it would be silly to run to the roof, as that would be an obvious dead end.
In a desperate move, he started running up the flights of stairs toward the roof, hoping that Cin would think he went down.
Soon enough, he came to the final flight of stairs and was standing on the roof gasping for breath.
Seconds later, Cin appeared directly in front of him.
"Silly boy. Did you think you could escape me?" Cin smiled. "You know, I think I'll do this the old-fashioned way."
With that, she pulled a revolver from behind her back and pointed it at TK.
"Your move," she muttered.
TK stepped backward, away from Cin and she took a step forward. TK quickly backed away from Cin as he heard the click of the safety latch on the gun.
After a few more steps, Cin tossed the gun away and muttered: "old-fashioned is boring. Might as well do it the more efficient way anyways."
Her eyes glowed brightly and TK suddenly felt himself floating in the air. Then he floated over to the edge of the roof and then he was hanging over nothing.
"Good bye," Cin smirked as she stopped holding TK safe.
TK was too afraid to scream, he could only stare at the ground rushing up at him. Then he closed his eyes, waiting for the impact to come, his stomach feeling weightless.
He was falling, coming closer and closer to his fate... Surely he should have hit by now. But... WAS he falling?
TK cracked an eye open and gasped in surprise. He was hovering inches away from the ground surrounded in a radiant golden light.
He felt a little scared as he floated back up towards the roof, wondering exactly what was happening.
Then he was level with the roof of the building and face to face with Cin.
Cin's purple eyes widened in extreme surprise, her jaw dropped and she muttered: "Creed is not going to like this..." She disappeared and TK floated back onto the roof, scared and confused.
From down on the street, a black-clothed man was muttering into a small walky-talky-type object. Anybody passing by would barely have heard anything but one snatch of conversation stood out: "...yes, master Creed. It has begun..."
