Ah! Due to the new reviews, there were enough to make me continue, so ta-dah! this chapter is horribly short, and I apologize. I want to seperate it from the next part, though! Like always, I'm contactable at joy_fishy@hotmail.com (mail and MSN), sunshine ba ba (aim), 71918292 (ICQ), and stellar687@yahoo.com(yahoo! messanger)
The song of this fic is "Grandma got run over by a reindeer"...mwahhaa.
Has anybody ever been in the "Digiworld" chat on AOL? Elitist freaks. Yes, I mean you, if any of you happen to be reading this. It's not like everybody was born knowing all. Seriously, I saw these people rip some little wannabe girl apart cause she didn't know what "ooc" was. AUGH...I can't stand either groups, the ones that smash everybody who's not "on their level", the ones who need to learn common courtesy. The others, who want to be part of that elite group, who shun others on their level to keep throwing themselves at someone who doesnt' give about them. BAH.
Although tabloids may inform you otherwise, I don't own digimon.

Gennai sat up, dripping in cold sweat. Who were all those kids? They certainly weren't anyone he knew. Or maybe they were…maybe they were his friends. He struggled to remember the names, but couldn't think of anyone, except Chiri. Chiri…he'd never forget her. He felt tears spring to his eyes. Shrugging it off, he turned back onto his side, ready to go back to sleep, when the door burst open.
"GENNAI! GET UP!" screamed a very distraught Adelimon. Her hair was flying ever which way, and her usual, calm, voice was tense. Even her eyes, usually opals of sadness, were now filled with anxiety.
Gennai lept out of bed, feeling a little light-headed. Adelimon persisted, and dragged him out of the room, down hallway upon hallway upon hallway that he had never knew existed. They stopped, panting, in front of a statue of a unicorn.
"Promptu, aperio." Adelimon muttered.
Gennai watched in fascination as the horned horse slowly turned, revealing an entryway. Adelimon hauled him through.
"What does it say?" Adelimon demanded.
"What?" Gennai looked around, confusedly.
"You're the only other person who can read the Clementia Oracle. You're not a digimon. Neither was Xor. Myotismon and I cannot read it."
It was then Gennai noticed the soft, glowly, cresent. He stared at the swirling depths, trying to decipher something from the mixing blues, greens, purples, and pinks, while still sorting out his thoughts.
Why can Xor read it? A word came into focus.
How come they've never told me about this? Another word slowly materialized from the oracle.
Where IS Xor? What is this? What am I looking for? The message was visible now.
"reparo...juvenis...decima..."
"What does it say?" An until-now-silent Myotismon spoke.
"I-I-don't know." Stuttered Gennai. Reparo juvenis decima. Reparo juvenis decima.
Adelimon slumped.
"Where's Xor?" I voiced the question outloud.
"We don't know." Myotismon interjected. "We just found a note telling us to consult the oracle, but obviously we can't so we had to bring you here."
Reparo juvenis decima. Renew old with new.
"You're sure you don't know what it says?" implored Adelimon. Myotismon peered at Gennai curiously.
Gennai spoke to Adelimon but looked at Myotismon. "Yes."
(Gennai's POV)
Later that night, I sat outside of EBAS with the waterfalls, the waterfalls that had drawn me here in the first place. Staring at the water a bit, I felt bad about not telling Adelimon and Myotismon what the oracle had really said.
I tiptoed inside, and was about to turn the corridor to Adelimon's room, when I saw a soft illumination to my left. I crept over, and peered around the corner.
It was Myotismon.
And he was talking to somebody. I swung back around and flattened myself against the cool metal wall. Eventually, my breathing was quiet enough for me to hear the conversation.
"Everything is going according to plan then, my minion? Xor has been taken care of?"
"Yes, your Highness."
"Good. Don't worry about the other two."
"Whatever you wish."
The soft glow went out, and Myotismon's boots made clicking noises in the hall as he walked away.
I slid down into a sitting position on the floor. When the footsteps had disappeared, I slowly picked myself up, and dashed down to Adelimon's room.
"...and then I came here, as fast as I could." I gasped.
Adelimon had listened to my story in silence, and now she stood up. "Well. What do you think we should do?"
WHY was she asking me? Like I would know what to do when somebody who was supposed to be working with us, our friend, decided to abandon us and just got rid of our leader? Oh yes, I just happen to have the 101 book in my back pocket.
"I don't know. Can you please tell me what's going on?"
"I guess I should start from the beginning.
A long time ago, long before you were born, before your parents were born, I met Xor. It was here, on Server. He was a disheveled young being, nothing I had ever see before. I asked him what he was, and he replied that his name was Xor. He definitely wasn't a digimon. I took pity on him, and brought him here to shelter. Over the course of the next week or so, it turned out that he was very intelligent. I allowed him to participate in my operation against the evil then, his name was Inteacmon. With our combined forces, we defeated him. He eventually surpassed me. Anyway. A few days later, I saw him gazing intently into a statue, as if it were saying something. I questioned what he was doing, and he told me that words were emerging in the cresent, but I couldn't see anything. He insisted. I asked him to prove it, and it revealed something from my past to him. It was true. However, it wasn't like a crystal ball, everytime you wanted something it would tell you. It would just say what it wanted to, when it wanted to. Many times, words and pictures took on alternate meanings we did not understand til later. Later, when Myotismon joined us, he too could not read the oracle.
When you came, Xor told us that you could read the oracle, but not to tell you. There was some other purpose. But you can't, and that's that. I guess there's nothing else to do."
I felt my heart race. "Actually...I can read the oracle."
