~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Clue from the Past! Will the Whole Team be Assembled? We are...Digidestined. Yes we have crests and tags. Also digivices and digimon. But we have a different purpose than the others. They had came to save the Digital World. We had been there to protect them. We watched over them. We were the Digital Destined Guardians. Digiguards. Their battles against numerous digimon had been successful, and it seemed our purpose was forgotten. Yet we have a new calling. To find the Crystal of Light. That and only that can save the Earth and the Digital World. Before the Darkness spreads throughout each world and destroys it.
It had been an absolutely boring drowsy day in my life. Yeah, a normal day. Being stuck in a world away from my own and having to save both of them. I looked over at Alicia. She looked kinda cute with the slight wind rustling her long blonde hair. Wait! I stopped. I could not like Alicia! She was a friend! A good one at that. Yet I couldn't ignore the little tugging at my heart every time I looked at her.
"What's the matter?" she turned to me. "We have to get a move on! Even though the Digidestined aren't hard to keep track of." She giggled. "Come on now!" Alicia slapped me on the back. I sighed and pretended to be hurt by her hitting me. "You're such a big baby. Come on you're supposed to be the leader! Now lead us!"
I sighed as l led the group in the general direction of the others. The sun started to pound on our backs as the day wore on. Cubmon started to look exhausted so I let him ride in my backpack. Kitmon was also getting tired of walking so Alicia picked her up.
"I'm starting to get worn out." Alicia panted. "Kitmon! You're so heavy!"
"But Alicia! I'm supposed to protect you in times of need. And I need to have energy to digivolve! Besides, it's much easier for you to carry me than I carry you!" the digimon replied. *Everyone sweatdrops*
"Water! A lake! Water!" Cubmon pointed from my backpack. His hairy paw barely reached past my face, but I could see where he was pointing. Yes! It was a lake!
"I am so glad to see water! Last one there is a stinky digiegg!" Alicia shouted as she took off.
"Hey!" Cubmon yelled. "She got a head start!"
"We can beat her!" Jordan told his digimon. Running as fast as they could, helter-skleter to the lake, they started stripping off clothes. For they had not taken baths in a few days and as Mimi would say: "Ewwww!" it turned out the lake was a hot springs, and to both teenagers' relief, there was a stone wall that had been erected in the middle of the springs. While Jordan removed the rest of his clothes and picked up Cubmon from his backpack and jumping head first into the lake, Alicia was hesitant.
"Hmm, Kitmon is this water okay?" Alicia chewed on her lower lip.
"I've heard of this place. It's called the Digisunset Springs, for it seems that the sun sets on the waters here. It's famous for its sparkling clear clean water..." That's all Alicia needed to hear for the next sound was of Alicia splashing into the springs. "Wait for meeee!" Kitmon called after her.
On the girls' side they was nothing but the soothing sounds of the warm hot springs washing away all their cares in the world. On the boys' side, however, the sounds were not calm. It all started with Cubmon splashing Jordan in the face. Then Jordan dunking his head underwater. Then Cubmon spit water at Jordan. Finally it was an all out splashing the other war. When both boy and digimon partner were tired out from the workout, Cubmon got curious.
"So, I'm your friend right Jordan?"
"Yeah of course."
"And I could ask things and you won't get mad right?"
"Right?"
"So how come you like Alicia?"
"WHAT!?!!??" Jordan yelled so loud that the girls heard him.
"Keep it down! I'm just asking."
"She's a friend. Nice looking, okay very good looking and...why do you think I like her?"
"The way you look at her. The way you talk to her."
"Oh. Well, she's okay." Jordan turned away from Cubmon to hide the slight blushing on his hot cheeks. He was going to soothe his burning cheeks in the water...but he was in a hot spring. "Do you think we're clean now?" Cubmon nodded as the boys got out and dried off. Meanwhile on the other side...
"Alicia, how do you get your hair to stay like that in odangos? I mean, they seems to defy gravity."
"Oh I have bobby pins to hold them up." (A/N: since I'm not a girl I am assuming Alicia uses bobby pins and only bobby pins. If you don't believe me, contact her yourself.)
"How do you like Jordan?"
"How? Well...as a friend." Kitmon noticed the redness on her face.
"Oh so he's not your boyfriend?" Alicia covered Kitmon's mouth with her hands.
"No! No...he's okay looking, a little cute when he gives me that half smile or when he pushes a lock of his dark hair off his forehead, or when he stares at me intensely when I'm talking like he is living on every word I say, or when I look in his light brown eyes. I wonder if he likes me." She sighed.
"Um..." Kitmon interrupted Alicia's daydream, "why is our mission to not be with the other digidestined?"
"Kitmon, do you want my honest opinion?"
"Yeah..."
"Well, I think we shouldn't be separated from them and that voice that commands us every time we try to not follow our mission specifically is wrong! I don't know what to do." Alicia shook her head.
"Why don't you just follow your heart on both accounts?" Alicia's eyes watered at that, now she knew what she had to do.
"THANKSKITMONILOVEYOUYOU'RETHEGREATEST!" she shouted as she scrambled out of the water and grabbed her towel. She quickly dried off and dressed. Only at that moment Jordan wasn't done getting on his clothes. "Jordan I figured out what we have to do we have to...ACK!"
"HEY!" Jordan stood bare chested before her. "Can I at least get my shirt on before you ask me questions?" Alicia retreated, and noted that he had been working out or something. She blushed slightly at this, yet turned around so he wouldn't see her reddening face. Kitmon and Cubmon arrived to see what all the commotion was about.
"What happened?" they shouted together.
"Oh, Alicia was spying on my while I was dressing."
"I was not!" she turned bright red about that. "I was...well...erm trying to tell him about our mission!" Jordan gasped.
"Have you heard from The Voice?"
"No and who cares about that stupid voice! I had a heart to heart talk with Kitmon and realized what we need to do! Join up with the other Digidestined!" Jordan's jaw was slack. "And pick up your jaw!"
"Are you sure?" he asked me. "I mean going with a gut feeling. This could be wrong. Joining up with them and not getting the Crystal of Light could have catastrophic consequences..."
"But this is something I believe in. I feel I have to do this! I didn't feel right going against the others but I thought it was my mission. Maybe this is our mission...in any case I have to find out if this is right!"
"Okay well that was a mouthful. But if that's how you feel, let's do it!"
"Cubmon digivolve to...Pandamon!"
"Kitmon digivolve to...Panthermon!"
"Let's ride like the wind Panthermon!"
"It's nice to see you guys again." I said as I helped T.K. down from his tree. Tai was doing the same with Kari. "I mean you guys showed up at the right time and...oh whatever."
"Yamato Ishida, are you opening up to other people?" A smiled curved Sora's lips. I just shook my head. Now that T.K. and Kari were on the ground, we could discuss business.
"Okay first thing, these new people." Tai spoke up. I rolled my eyes. He always has to be leader-like. We arranged ourselves in a circle around the fire built by Joe and Tai. I pretended not to know where to sit, shrugged my shoulders and plopped down oh so carefully next to Sora. You know, just in case she likes me. "They have crest symbols and use attacks like us..."
"They have Crystal Power and digimon."
"Yes Izzy." Tai was agitated that he was interrupted. "But they saved Matt from the bears." I shook a little at the thought of almost being killed. Only Sora seemed to notice because she but a hand on my shoulder. But I regained my composure.
"Aw I could've taken that bear myself."
"Why did they demand us for our Crystals?" Mimi spoke up. I looked up at Tai to see him gently touching his lip.
"I don't know but I think we need those shards to help us to what we were brought here for." Izzy told us.
"That's another thing. This is the Digiworld, no doubt. Our purpose was to probably learn of our new powers and defeat a powerful force here. But there seems to be no threat to this world right now. I mean there is no little digimon henchman running around for a master..."
"Those new people!" the argument turned to them again. "Alicia and Jordan. They know a lot more than we do. We should track them down and get them to tell us what's up" Tai lead us. We were about to leave when a growl was heard from the trees.
"There is no need for that." Alicia and her digimon stepped out from behind us. I turned to face her.
"So you've come back. Want this?" I held up my shard. "Well ya can't have it. Friendship Crystal Pow..." I was interrupted by Alicia.
"That's not what I want anymore."
"Say what?"
"It's true." A voice behind us said. We turned around to see Jordan climbing down from his digimon. "We have come to join you guys."
"What makes you think you can join my team?" Tai asked. "You tried to destroy us and other things."
"We had a mission. To protect you from harm. That purpose was replaced when we found you could fend for yourselves and were heard about the approaching Darkness."
"Darkness?"
"Yes, and we were told by the Voice that we need to discover the Crystal of Light, and use it to destroy the Darkness."
"But there is no darkness or whatever around here." I piped up.
"Baka, yes there is." Jordan said from the tree he was leaning on.
"Digimon have been turning evil. Things have been swallowed up by Dark Light."
"Show us." Joe said. "I won't believe it until I see it."
"Fine." Jordan said coldly. They started towards who knows where and we walked for hours. Tai tried to start some small talk with Jordan while Mimi did the same with Alicia.
"So how long have you been here in the Digiworld? If this is the Digiworld." Tai asked him.
"We didn't keep track. But we did travel back and forth to Earth using our digivices. We had to keep up with you. We also had Cubmon here and Kitmon with Alicia to protect us."
"Nice to meet you Cubmon."
"The gratitude is all mine."
"Alicia, how do you keep your hair so shiny?" Mimi questioned. Alicia blushed from the attention.
"Uh...I don't let the boys wrestle with me? And I don't let it drag on the ground. That's why it's up in odangos." Us others kept silent as we walked: gloomy, dreary. Finally, Jordan and Alicia stopped. "This is the place."
"I don't see anything but a cliff." He tried to go to the edge, but was stopped when a hand grabbed his own. He blushed.
"T.K., hold on. That might be dangerous. Wait for Jordan and Alicia to tell us what to do." Kari told him.
"Carefully, very carefully, scoot to the edge of the cliff." Jordan directed us. Peering over, I gasped. For instead of a cliff bottom there was a pit. An endless pit that stretched as far as I could see.
"Any digimon that has tried to fly over this has suddenly become flightless and falls into there..." he pointed. "And has reemerged evil, dark, black."
"Every time we came back here, the Darkness had been growing, until we sealed it will our Silver and Gold Power. It struggles every day against its barrier, and I fear that it will break through soon," explained Alicia.
"Digidestined!" The Voice said from above us. "Finally, reunited. All of you together, plus new ones. I see that the new ones have overcome me and realized their true mission. And that is to seal the Darkness forever with the Crystal of Light."
"You tricked us!" Alicia shouted at it.
"No, you yourself had to find your real mission, and you passed the test with flying colors. Alicia, I am proud of you. And now it is time to reveal myself." A silver disk flew to the ground.
"Hey, I know that voice and that disk." A hologram popped up from the disk.
"GENNAI!" we shouted together. Jordan turned beet red.
"You, old fogey! You led us astray!" He proceeded to hit Gennai, but remembered it was a hologram.
"I had to, to see if you really wanted to defeat the Darkness." All this talk was making my head spin. "Since you did that, now I will bring you to the threat." Gennai motioned, and an image of Tokyo-to appeared. "This is another test. To see if you guys can be interdependent but at the same time independent. In other world if you can live with each other. You will be enrolled into schools and given a list of chores." We groaned. "I don't want to hear that. You will also receive 5 million-yen each week for groceries and other necessities. Now enter the portal of the house and you will be instantly transported the Tokyo. Go now!"
"Fine." I said and entered the portal first. Blackness, that's how to describe it. I couldn't see anything. My head started to spin again, and I felt like I was being torn apart. A loud roaring could be heard in my ears, also a loud ringing sound. I couldn't move my hands to cover my ears, but I don't think it mattered. Then a loud thud could be heard. Then...I remember nothing.
"YAY! It's soo huge! And big too! This is a great house!"
"But Mimi, we haven't even gone inside. Oh look Matt's up." Sora told the others.
"Man, I have a killer headache." I told them.
"Why can't we go inside now?" Tai demanded. I shrugged and proceeded to open the door.
"Wait!" Jordan stopped me. "I hear voices and movement from inside!" Tai looked in a window, screamed and then fell back. "What?"
"Let's bust down the door!" I shouted. Jordan and I sided up and kicked down the door. As soon as we did that, something hit us. Something big and orange. Something like a fireball. It seemed familiar but I fell back and...
