"Ah.....Matt! My fingers......!"
T.K. looked down to his hands in surprise, but not a hint of horror was mixed into his expression.
"We're....deterialized?" Izzy looked down to himself as well, seeing his own body slowly being shredded into small pieces, flowing away fast.
"What's going on!? This never happened before......," Sora looked about, seeing how everyone was being deterialized rapidly, disappearing, thinking something might've went wrong with the digiport, while T.K. finally screamed in fear.
Not only T.K. Now everybody was yelling out for each other and themselves, as they were only small specks, then was gone completely.
(Taito fans: "c'mon Tai! Yell out for Matt!")
* * *
Small specks were floating in the middle of the huge blueness of the sky. Slowly, many other specks came flying out from no where, combining with each certain specks as small forms started to take shape. Two brown eyes popped open as one of the form screamed out, finding herself in the middle of the sky, suddenly falling right to the blue ocean just below them.
"Why are we falliiiiiiiiiiiiing!?" Mimi started to kick her legs and waves her arms around wildly, as if that's going to help.
Others were just beside her, falling faster and faster as well.
"Patamoooon!" T.K. held tightly onto his backpack, facing straight forward to the ocean, eyes wide with fear and hope for a rescue.
"!!!"
The digivice in T.K.'s pocket started to jump around, shaking madly again as it shot out a white golden light brilliently from it's small screen. Not only T.K.'s, so did the other's digivice did the same thing as well, making the children seem like a burning bright stars in the middle of the day. The light surrounded each of the Digi-Destines, making the velocity of falling speed(I dunno) decrease as they found themselves floating along with the crispy cool wind. All the children was silent for a moment, in shock, then after few seconds, they all started to whoopi-doo and such, punching and kicking the air as Tai screamed out bloody-murder-of-joy.
"WE'RE not dead!"
"I love you, I love you, I love you!" Joe held his Digivice.
Izzy took out his Digivice to his hand, looking down at it with amazed and thankful expression.
"Say it, Izzy," Tai elbowed Izzy, smiling at Izzy who was looking up at him with questioning look, then suddenly smiled.
"Prodigious!"
"I-.....I thought we were goners for sure....," Sora sighed out, placing both of her hands against her beating chest.
"Well, enough with the happy doodles," Matt looked around, pointing out to the red specks comming closer.
"Huh...what?" Tai, noticing Matt's alarmed look, peers over his shoulder to see what he is pointing to. He quickly dug into his pocket, taking out a new binocular and looked into it, seeing a huge red bird-like Digimon flying over to them. "Oh cool, I bet it's packs of Digimon about to welcome us," thought Tai, waving and yelling at them with a grin.
"Hehehe....Hey you guys! Over here!"
"T-Tai.....I don't think-..," Izzy sweated nervously.
"Kiyaaaaaaaagh!"
".....uhh.....?" Tai scratched his cheek with a finger, seeing how the packs of red flying Digimons were coming their way with full speed in not so friendly-way, their black beaks and clawys aimed at them.
"....hmm......RUN! Or fly....," Tai turned his back at them, grabbing for Matt's hand and Izzy's who was close by and wiggled his legs around, as one of the huge bird digimon's beak missed his hair just by an inch. "...or whatever!"
"Ah...Tai!" Kari shrieked, being pulled by Sora as the ball of light around each child blasted many lines of rays as they started to jet their way down as doomed comet. DOOMED! DOOMED FOR ALL ETERNITY!!! (I had to type it that way. Not really)
"Ahh! Wait you guys! How do you jet-....Uwaaaaaaa!"
"Joe...!" Mimi stopped, flying back to him.
"You get away from us!" Mimi waved her purse at them, grabbing onto Joe's arms as other's joined in as well, holding onto Joe's other arm and heading back to the ocean.
Even so, they soon found themselves surrounded by the rest of the digimons, trying to get a peck at them.
"Grrr....stupid birds!" As if Tai seemed to have snapped, he tried flying over to one of them, swinging his fist back to take a punch at them until Matt stopped him, pulling him away from the waving claws, but another came from behind, it's beak aimed right at Matt's back.
"Blue drops!"
From above, small dots of shimmering water came raining down like small fireflies. The drops swirled around the digimons, hitting their eyes, beating against their bodies, and irritating them in undescribable pain. Taking the chance for granted, the children all tried to fly down to the ocean level, then kept up their speed. Their hearts rushed with excitement, only to skip a beat in surpries as a slender blue form appeared from above, standing on the water.
"YARRRRGH!" One of them screamed in such a voice, that no one couldn't tell who that was.
Before they can turn away, the form blinked and waved his hands in panic, shaking his head.
"Wait, wait, you guys! I'm a good guy! ....kinda."
Tai paused, turning his head back to face the blue digimon. The digimon was taller then the rest of them, just few inches taller than Joe. He had huge golden eyes, and his body looked like a slightly transparent blue jello with a goldfish-like fins on his back like two pairs of wings.
"I came here to get you guys from the port by Genni. Sorry that I was kinda late....you guys okay?"
"Oh...by Genni? ...yeah, we're okay," Tai replied, smiling up to the digimon. He was glad that they were away from those bird-like things.
"....oh," no one noticed how the digimon frowned in disappointment, thinking it would've been more fun if they weren't okay. "Anyway, my name's Shizukumon. Let's get you guys to Genni's now. Blue drops!" (I really hate his name and his attacks. So lame...should've named it Lamemon or whatever).
The same drops of water came floating around the kids, and turned into a huge bubble where it wrapped them all in one as the light around them started to vanish. Both the digimon and the kids started to now sink into the Ocean as they all looked around the blue darkness forming around them. They continued to sink for over an hour now, and they all were getting tired of it, with Tai lying around, asking when they'll get there every single second, synchronizing with Mimi.
"I thought we should've been their an hour ago," murmured Izzy, glancing back to the whiny ones.
"It's obvious," Shizukumon said to him. "It's been millions of years since you kids went back to....whatever that place is...," shaking his fingers around. "The earth below the ocean changes it's plate shape and dept , and the sea level increaced by unbalance of the world here with the 'baddies'. God...they have such a lame names these days. Hee!"
"Millions of years!?" few of them blinked in surprise.
"But I thought the time of both worlds were now synchronized....but how? Why?"
"Is our digimons okay?" T.K. asked out from behind, frowning with concern.
Shizukumon glanced to T.K., thinking how it've be fun to say they died, but just simple nodded and looked back to Izzy, with others listening. "It's pretty weird. The 'files' containing the 'time program' and the information about our time speed and synchronization were deleted and remade. Now it's going crazy....even the physical discription files were changed, too, to go along with the time speed. Some Digimons were changed as well...but most are still okay for now."
Tai made a face, having this disturbing image of old old...VERY old, Genni.
"Oh...and there's his house!" Shizukumon pointed out to the faint light at the bottom in the middle of darkness. As they got closer, the bubble popped, dropping them onto the ground, full of light. They were now inside of the huge lightened bubble, where a small garden and a house was built upon. Not much seemed to change around here.
"Genni? Genni!" Tai called out, as Sora and Mimi started to look behind the house.
"I'm here! can't you kids see with your youngness?"
They all turned to a tree. But it really wasn't a tree...it was Genni in a tree costume.
"....."
Struggling out from such stupid looking costume, Genni wobbled up to the groups of kids as he made himself look straight. Tai was most surprised to see him unchanged (is that a word?).
"Sorry...I was hiding, just incase if some unwelcomed guests arrive. I spend most of my time hiding here....this place has gotten so...unpredictable, even to me. Everyday, it gets stranger and stranger here. It's out of control. Come on in and have some tea. I'm sure you kids must be tired from just standing in the bubble."
Following the old thing, they took off their shoes and went into the house, making themself comfy on the floor, while Joe was taking his sweet time neatly taking his shoes off and placing them perfectly straight. He secretly beamed proudly at his neatness, then joined up with the rest. It wasn't long till Genni got the tea ready, and sighed, rubbing his sore shoulders.
"Aww...my poor aging body...Matt, will you be kind and rub my shoulders for me?"
"...eh? Uhh...," Matt glanced to the others, hoping someone will take his place.
No one did.
"Sure...," he smiled fakely, sitting behind Genni and started to rub his shoulders as Tai grinned behind his cup.
"Aw, how cute!" Mimi giggled, teasing Matt.
"Ahh....harder. No...harder. Harder-...Matt, I said har-...ohhh. Yes, that's good. Now," he took his own tea, slurped at it happily, then looked to the rest. "I'm sure you kids already know the main story to this whole mess. This is getting way out of control, as like I said, getting worse. The evil digimons are getting more and more greedy for spaces and files to take for themselves. What's worse is that, even good ones are getting so desparate, they are becoming greedy as well, fighting one another for spaces."
"But-...but is our digimons okay? ...Biyomon...," Sora placed her fingers to her chin nervously, looking down.
"Yes. Yes, they are fine. Infact, they are waiting for you at a forest nearby on a small Island called Pixel Island. It's still safe there, I'm sure of it."
They all seemed to smile at one, looking at each other.
"You'll get to meet them at once from tomorrow. Just rest for today. Anyway....hmm...oh, yes. I suggest you guys start looking for the 'Programmers' of this world," he paused, looking at Izzy's ears perking up. "They are like the gods of this world...yet, can be like the devil. We're not sure if it's the 'Programmers' who are the main cause of this mess, or someone else. But all I know is that the 'Programmers' have the access to all of the 'disks' and 'files' of this world. Which means, they have the power to change, make new files and datas, or even delete everything!"
"But where exactly, do we find them?" Kari finally spoke up.
"....."
They all noticed how Genni's face darkened, maybe with great anger, sadness, fear...they all became dead silent, staring up at him, with nervousness growning.
"I dunno."
"....WHAT?! Why am I not surprised??" Mimi stood up, which Sora calmed her down right away.
"That's what I was gonna say," Tai called out, but who cares.
"Just...look for them. Simple as that!" Genni slurped on his tea again, which they all seemed to glare at him with the "yeah, right," look.
"I wanna go see our digimons right now!" T.K. said, looking to Genni with pleading look. Everyone nodded with T.K.
"I think it's best that we start on this whole mumbo-jumbo right now. The sooner, the better!" Tai added.
"I dunno....I just wanna meet them," Joe mumbled.
"Now now, don't brag about how young and energetic you guys are. Rest. Who knows what will happen the minute you kids jump out of here. I know how you kids were attacked by the Flapmons (lame!). You kids will need all the energy to "expect the unexpected."
