The Crest of Perseverance: Part 1-Digidestined Number 9
The Crest of Perseverance: Part 1-Digidestined Number 9

Note from the Author: First, these take the place of the Apocalymon episodes. While originally I had them between the Dark Masters and Apocalymon, certain things that I planned wouldn't work out. Thus, the change. Also, I'd like to apologize in advance for any thing the Digidestined that I didn't create doing anything out of character. My own writing flaws are coming back to haunt me in this.

The girl picked up the pointe shoes and put them in her bag. As she looked into the red bag, she noticed an oddly shaped object in her bag. Too rushed to examine it closely at the moment, she just shifted it so that it wouldn't get broken. Then, shouldering the bag, she left the dance studio.

Izzy was once again on his computer. The others, used to seeing this by now, crowded around behind him, all half-hoping there would be e-mail from Gennai. "Look," Tai said, pointing to the screen.

Again, as they had seen before, the figure of Gennai was moving across the screen. Izzy clicked on it.

"Hello again. I've got more good news and more bad news. The bad news is that another evil Digimon has made its presence known."

There was a general groan of disgust. "Not another one," Mimi said. She was immediately shushed so that they could hear the good news.

"The good news is that there is another Digidestined. She will be arriving shortly."

The message ended. Tai and Matt shared one glance before they saw a beam of brilliant silver light shoot down from the sky. "Let's go," Tai said, running toward where the light had touched the ground.

Tai and Sora were the first to arrive on the scene. They saw a girl stretched out on the ground.

Both of them were nearly knocked over by Matt and Joe as they ran up behind them. "What?"

Sora pointed as the others caught up. Agumon peered around Tai. "That's someone like you." Agumon looked up at Tai. "But I don't see a Digimon."

Tai blinked before saying, "You're right."

The girl stirred. She rolled onto her back and sat up. Her hazel eyes blinked behind her glasses. "Where am I?"

Suddenly a Digimon appeared out of the bushes. It had needle sharp claws and bright blue eyes. With its wings and stocky body, it looked a lot like a small silver scaled dragon-a Western dragon.

Tentomon recognized the strange Digimon. "That's Sylvimon. Her freezing cold Ice Breath provides her with a strong defense."

Sylvimon nosed the girl. She whirled to look at the Digimon, her eyes wide. "Ah!" As she moved, her hand fell onto an oddly shaped object.

Sora said, "It's alright." The girl still looked panicked, despite Sora's words.

"What's your name," Mimi asked.

The question that had to seem fairly normal seemed to calm her down. "My name's Allison."

Those three words seemed to spark something in Sylvimon. "I'm your Digimon!" Allison's eyes widened.

Joe reached out a hand to help her up. "It's okay," he said.

"She's reacting better than you did," Gomamon said. "At least she isn't afraid of her Digimon."

"Why would I be afraid of Sylvimon?"

"Joe was," TK said. "But I wasn't."

Joe remembered what they were referring to. He had come running up to the others, Bukamon chasing after him. "This thing, this thing, it won't leave me alone." He'd then followed that statement up with, "Don't you see this thing hanging off me? Or those things over there?" He'd been in a high state of panic that first few moments in the Digiworld.

"Oh," Allison said, bringing Joe's attention back to the present.

Matt looked at Izzy and said, "I think you might want to check e-mail again."

Will the Digidestined be able to stop this new enemy? And what is Allison's purpose in the Digiworld? Stay tuned to find out!
