Chapter Eight: Games begin
After five hours of light sleep the Chosen
awoke. They had much to do. Each was glad they had the whole month
off. So the children contacted their
parents and explained the situation. They had to solve this mystery. Every parent understood except for Daisuke's. That took a long time to explain. Apparently they conveniently forgot about his DigiMon. He made no effort to remind them. Finally Taichi grabbed the phone and made
the proper assurances that Daisuke was going to be safe. They all headed back into town to stop at
Miyako's fathers store. After loading
up on supplies they headed back to Koushiro's house. His computer was the best bet for getting back and forth. His mother wanted to help, as always, so she
had Koushiro leave instructions on how to get them back when this was all over
with. The plan was simple. The new Chosen, Koushiro, and Mimi could get
into the Digital World. The others
could not. So if Koushiro left one of
the new DigiVice's with his mother she could open the portal. He had her try several times to open a
gate. They failed. This perplexed Koushiro. After several minutes of thinking he
realized what had to be done.
"The DigiVices are attuned to us, we know
that, but our parents share a bond with us that should allow them to open gates
if need be. This is not the case. So if I cannot attune mine to my mother's, I
will need to get in contact with Gennai."
He worked and worked on his Digi Vice. Finally eh thought he was finished and gave
it to her to open the gate. Nothing
happened. They were stuck if they could
not get a way inside there. Koushiro
opened a gate himself and emailed Gennai. He will not answer you Chosen. I have by-passed his route. Why are you all not in the Digital
World? Theses words appeared on his computer. Well if we all go there we
have no way back here. I was going to
find a way to let my mother use my Digi Vice to open a portal once we stopped
you. Koushiro
typed.
There is no need to
worry about that. I am a being of my
word. I will send you all back once you
have passed your final test. Was
the response.
I do not believe
you. I have given you all the
information I can. So what can we do? Koushiro
bantered.
Humph. Schrewed child. Let your adopted mother put your Digi Vice to the screen. I will only take me a second to synchronize
the device to her. Response.
A blinding flash over took the room and
Koushiro's mother and knocked her back. She landed on the floor rather hard. She looked at Koushiro and smiled to let him know she was ok.
You didn't have to be so rough with
her.
My apologies. I forger each of you humans are not equal in
strength. She will be able to open the
gate for you now. Hurry, you test awaits.
Koushiro's mother got up and brushed her self
back in place. She then asked Koushiro
to let her try again.
"No it might be a trap. He might use her against us." Taichi said.
I have no intentions
of doing such a thing. Koushiro was
right. You would need a way back. I can get you there but you don't trust me, so I can't let you go back. He is smart and knew this. So impulsive Taichi.
"Ok mother try again." She did and the gate opened, so closed it
and opened it again. They all
rejoiced. This being told them the truth. Now they had to find it and see what it wanted. Now they all had to step into the gate. It only let them have one location: File
Island. The beginning. This being was very smart to know this. One by one they all ported in. Koushiro looked at his mom. I don't know if we will make it back. Mom, I love you. Closing his eyes he accepted his task and
ported in. Her tears told him
everything. "I will be right here
Koushiro. Waiting."
The jolt from all Twelve Chosen appearing in
the digital world was unexpected. Piyomon was already with them. Now they had to find the others.
This is your first
task. Find your partners. It will take some time. They are hidden in this world. Pass this test and then you will meet me.
"Where do we start?"
Here. Where else. I still await your arrival.
"You had better not be lying to us."
Taichi, I was correct in
assessing your Emotion of Courage. But
did I lie before? Why would I have
cause to lie?
"Still, I will tear into you if you're lying,
or if any of our partners are hurt."
Very well, you have my
word. I will make it easier. There are two on this island. Find them, then seek the world.
"Guys I still don't know if we can trust
him."
"What other choice do you have Tai?"
"I understand, not much of one Sora, but
still. Something is not right."
Taichi suggested they split up. One group would search the flat lands and
forests. The other would search the
Mountains. These two areas seemed the
logical choices for the Chosen's partners. Taichi took Iori, Yamato, Jyou, Takeru and Hikari and went to look in
the mountains. Daisuke was placed in command of Miyako, Mimi, Sora, Koushiro
and Ken, and went looking in the flat lands and the forests.
"Well I guess to sound trite, the adventure
begins." Koushiro joked.
