A/N - Hiya. I am getting better at this I think. ^^ Well this is part 6 so I guess I am getting better. As always I do not own digimon and I never will. By the way if it gets too boring let me know and I'll spice it up somehow. Read it.

When Worlds Collide

Part 6- A confusing past

By, Life'sLittleSecret

Kari watched Lili leave. Something was wrong and it was obvious that Lili didn't want to talk about it. The digidestined sat down on a bit of grass in the dense forest and discussed the possibilities and ways to approach Lili with the questions that were buzzing in their heads. Kari had opened the conversation. "What do you think is wrong with her? She was just fine until after she saw her sister and got back here."

"It looked like she had been holding her breathe." Veemon said as he bounced around Davis. "Do you think that's what happened?"

"No." Was everybody's response.

"She wouldn't have been able to survive that long with out air." Cody observed.

"And she seemed like she was in pain." Armadillomon said as he lay his head on his front feet much like a dog would.

"Pain?" Kari asked him. "Yeah. Now that I think about it. It did seem like she was in pain. I wonder why?"

"Matt said she was in pretty bad shape after the fight. Could she have acquired some wounds that way?" TK thought out loud.

"No." Cody said firmly. "She couldn't have been hurt at all. She was fighting perfectly. No spots were left vulnerable and she blocked every hit the digimon threw her way. Even the special attacks."

"She could have a wound from a previous battle." Gotomon said.

"That is possible." Said patamon in his high pitched voice. "We have no idea how long she has been here."

"Well." Yolei said. "If she is hurt then shouldn't we be trying to help."

"Maybe...." TK thought for a moment. "Maybe Izzy can help us find her digivices signal."

"Or I can take you to her." A Cat-like digimon said. Everybody froze. They had been paying to less attention to the world around them and it threw them off guard. If that had been an Enemy they would have big problems.

"OK." Kari said standing up and walking to the cat. The cat was white with red Tiger's stripes on it. The cat happened to be about twice the size of a normal Tiger though. "Where is she?"

"Follow me. By the way..." The cat said as it turned. "I'm Manorimon." Kari shrugged and followed. Every one else did because Kari did. They walked down the forest until they came to a rope ladder. "She lives in the canopy." Manorimon said and jumped up to a branch about half way up the ladder. "This is the only way for you to get there."

@%*@%*@%*@%*@%*@%*@%*@%*@%*@%*@%*@%*@%*@%*@%*@%*@%*

TK climbed the ladder first with Patamon hovering around him. "Come on slow poke." Patamon said to TK.

"Hey I don't have Wings like you." TK said as he paused momentarily to rest. "I'm sorry I'm just tired."

"Want a ride." a voice from above him said. A white board seemed to hover beside his feet.

"I Gotta a ride for you."

"Huh?"

"A ride TK.... A ride....."

TK stepped on the board and it went strait up through the canopy and stopped in front of Lili. She was standing on a platform. She pulled him off the white board and sent it down to retrieve the others. TK looked around. The platform was flat and it was not really very sturdy looking. "What is this place?" TK asked as he looked around him at the wonderment in this canopy of the rich forest. "And... uh.... how come you gave me a..... ride?"

"Whoa.... lot's of questions. So few answers." She said as Kari and Gotomon broke through the canopy. "Hi." She looked at the board. "Well..... go get the others." She said to it and it obediently followed directions.

"Well in answer to your questions.... My home... and you looked tired." She said.

Kari looked confused she had trouble believing that this was Lili's home.

Magenta walked into her lair. She threw the black staff to the floor. "You good for nuthin' little twit. How come you are so stupid?"

"Sorry 'mam." The staff said as it seemed to cower in a dark shadow. Magenta was followed into the dark cave by her 3 minions and their Digimon. She slowed to a stop and gazed up at the thrown that was hers. As the Emperor of evil she was intitled to a thrown. "Empress"

The Staff asked. "I really think you should...."

"Shut up!!!" The Young woman said tossing her golden hair over her shoulder. "I don't need the input of inferior species." the staff went silent.

"Please you should go home and get some sleep." one of the girls said. The Empress was too tired to care. So instead she stood up. She rubbed her Arm and walked towards her Quarters.

Lili looked at the board. Everybody was confused because she didn't say anything. The white board that had given them a ride was glowing. It turned back into a staff. And they felt their jaws drop. The staff could turn into things. "Manorimon.... Why did you take them here?" Lili asked the tiger-like digimon. "You were supposed to take them to the digiport."

"You didn't say which digiport." Manorimon answered. "So I was taking them to yours. I thought they would like to see the land above the ground."

"Fine... I suppose if the can walk on the cat walk it will be okay." Lili said and held the staff towards what seemed like a solid wall of greenery. "Let's go." She walked towards it. And disappeared through the wall.

"Hey wait for us." Kari yelled walking through as well.

"Well.... Kari went... hey wait up!" Davis yelled as he and Veemon ran through the wall.

TK shrugged and walked through. He gasped at the sight he saw.

A/N- what did TK see. Hnmmm. Well I barely know but I think this could be getting confessing. Well I um sorta got stuck halfway through and I'm sorry I couldn't get this up sooner. I want 7 reviews before I put the next part up. K.. Yeah just review.
