Saving The Internet
Part 9
"Um…Gennai? I thought you were going to transport us into the Internet…" Gatomon_1 let her voice trail off when the Author's didn't move from the spot where they stood.
"I…guess I made a mistake!" Gennai tried to explain.
"Oh, wonderful!" Lillyanna* shook her head, her hair swinging outwards.
"I'll try again!" Gennai promised.
A few seconds later, the Author's were back in the Internet.
"Ooookay…" Joe began. "You disappear, then appear again? And who is that?" he pointed at Gatomon_1.
"I'm Gatomon_1," she introduced herself.
"So, where did you go?" Tai questioned. "No! No! Let me guess!" he pointed at 'Cuno, Sumi, Kyra, Mysterious, Digitally Obsessed, Lillyanna* and Gatomon_1. "You guys disappeared, went to the mall, then went to paint your nails, right?" he guessed.
Tai was instantly surrounded by the 7 Author's, while the other Digidestined, 7 of 11, Evil Zeramon, Philzurfer and David looked on with amused looks on their faces.
Then from behind them, they heard someone laugh. Turning, they saw a girl who looked to be about 19 and 5 foot 5. She wore a long sleeved, green shirt, khaki pants that had black lining, sandals, a small Demi-devimon plushie necklace around her neck, and carried a black laptop. Her hair was brown and shoulder length, with blond highlights, and she had brown eyes and wore oval glasses.
When the Digidestined stepped into sight from behind the Author's, she gaped in surprise. "Izzy!?" Running up, she grabbed one of his arms.
"Hey!" Kyra exclaimed. "Let go of him!" Kyra grabbed Izzy's other arm, and soon, a tug of war had begun.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Izzy cried as he was yanked from one side to the other.
"Let go of him!" Kyra repeated.
"No! You let go!" the girl replied.
"And you are…" Mysterious asked in amusement.
"I'm sorry! Let me introduce myself…" she began, turning away from the tug of war for a couple of seconds.
"No, no, no! Let me guess!" Sumi said. "There are only two people I know of that obsess over Izzy so much. Kyra is one of them, so you," she pointed at the girl. "Must be Debbie!"
Debbie smiled, then turned back to Izzy.
"Okay, why don't we just get going?" Sora suggested. Debbie glared at her.
"I think Sora's right!" Izzy tried to talk in a normal voice, but the fact that he was being yanked back and forth didn't help much.
"Alright!" Debbie agreed. Sora looked at her in a confused way.
"Wait a second! Who said your coming with us?" Kyra asked.
"Just drop it!" Matt exclaimed. He turned to Debbie. "Sure, come along. But first, let us explain!" And the Digidestined once again launched into an explanation of why they were there.
"Cool!" Debbie commented.
"Come on! Next fanfiction!" Tai exclaimed, pushing open another door.
"Just one moment…How long were we gone?" Philzurfer asked,
"For about ten seconds," came Kari's reply.
"But…we were there for at least two hours!" Digitally Obsessed exclaimed.
"It was probably two hours there, while it was ten seconds here!" Tai tried to come up with an explanation.
"I wonder which one it is now!" Evil Zeramon wondered outloud, turning his attention back to the door to the fanfic that they were about to walk through. He soon found out.
Ahead of them was a gruesome scene. There were yet more story copies of the Digidestined. That was nothing new. Except, that Tai6 and Matt6 were on the ground, bleeding to death, while they could hear Mimi6's screams of terror as she fell over a cliff, thrown to her death. A figure stood there, watching it all.
"Uh, you guys? RUN!!!"
"Ya think?" 'Cuno replied sarcastically. Unfolding her blue wings, she took off into the sky, but the wind was against her, and she fell back to the ground, settling back onto her feet.
"We're in my fic "Death's reaping sister"!!!!" Lillyanna* shouted. Upon hearing this, the author's turned and fled. They ran and ran. Ran for what seemed miles away, though by then, they were gasping for breath. And still, they could hear hasty footsteps following them.
"Oh wonderful! Now we're going to die!" Joe wailed.
"Just be quiet! I'm trying to think!" 7 of 11 hissed.
"Oh, Digidestined…" the figure called out. "Where are you?"
"Who is she?" Tai demanded.
"Life Taker," was Lillyanna*'s reply.
"Ahhhhh!" Matt called out suddenly. Turning, the Digidestined and the Author's saw Matt being held up in the air by Life Taker.
"So long!" she taunted, taking off, dragging Matt along behind her.
"We have to get him back!" Mimi cried.
"Maybe not!" Kyra replied. Everyone stared at her. "He's my muse, remember? He annoys me to death!"
"Ya, well if we don't rescue him, Matt will soon meet his death!" Mimi shot back.
"Let's go," TK exclaimed, taking off in the direction that Matt had been dragged off in.
"Matt! Matt!" TK called out. His shouts were followed by shouts from Mimi, then from the others.
"Here I am," came a cold reply.
Turning, the Digidestined and Author's saw Matt. He was standing with his back against a tree.
"Your safe!" Mimi ran up to him and threw her arms around him. Backing away, she had a confused look on her face. She backed away until she beside Palmon.
"Palmon? Digivolve!" she ordered, nervousness in her voice.
"But why, Mimi?" Palmon questioned.
"Just do it!" Mimi demanded.
"Alright! Palmon Digivolved to…Togemon!"
"Digivolve again!" Mimi demanded again.
Everyone looked strangely at Mimi, but Togemon did what she asked. "Togemon Digivolved to…Lillymon!"
"Uh…Mimi? Just what is going on?" Digitally Obsessed questioned.
Mimi turned towards Matt and pointed her right index finger at him. "Lillymon, destroy him!"
