Wizardmon carefully placed Gatomon on the sleeping bag. "Nice to see you too" he replied softly. He got to the other sleeping bag and went to sleep.

Next morning Gatomon woke up. "Kari, I had the strangest dream that I found this weird flute and Wizardmon came back…and…" she finally opened her eyes. What she found was a sleeping Wizardmon a couple of meters away."…My god it was real!!" A few seconds later, Wizardmon woke up. "Good morning." Was all he managed to reply before yawning. Gatomon just blankly stared. She walked around him three times and stopped right in front of him. Then she picked up and examined one his hands. "Err..Gatomon, what are you doing?" She smiled before hugging him tightly. "Just checking to see if you were real."

I take it that you like the surprise.

Gatomon and Wizardmon backed off each other. Both of them blushed. They turned to see the creature. "Who are you? And where am I? I thought I was-"

Dead?

"Yes. How did you know that?"

The flute allows me to use my powers at certain times. When I can use my powers, I can go through people's memory. I went through some of her memories and found you. Another power I have is healing. I revived you from the dead.

"This is confusing, but I have no other choice but to rely on that." Gatomon stepped forward. "Where do we go now?" The mistress pointed toward a dirt road.

Follow this path. It should lead to a town. You have to meet someone there.

"Meet someone? Who?" The mistress shook her head.

I don't know. That's all the flute tells me what you should do.

"It's okay. We'll find out somehow. What should we call you anyway?"

My name is Mahou.

"Lets get going." Mahou disappeared. "I never thought I'd be taking orders from a flute." Wizardmon muttered . Gatomon shrugged. "Neither would I. But I thought I would never see you alive again either." The duo went down the road with no trouble at all. They finally reached a small town.

"Where do you think we should start?" Wizardmon looked around. "I don't know. Looks kind of big." Many digimon were on the streets. Gatomon heard something in the distance.

"Stop it!" "Quick! Go after her! She's getting away!" Footsteps could be heard. It was getting closer. "Gimme that you worm!" The running footsteps stopped. "NO ONE EVER calls me a WORM! Flaming Strike!" Smoke could be seen. "Ahh! My hand!" The running footsteps started again. Soon whatever it was zoomed past and knocked over Gatomon. Then it stopped to help Gatomon up. "I'm so sorry! I was in a rush and I need to get out of here!" Gatomon finally got a chance to look at her. She had a long snake-like body with two long arms and legs. She was about the size of Gatomon. Her skin was lime green and her eyes were maroon. She had thin gloves on her hands and short boots.

"Get her!" Three new digimon came in view. They were small, tan digimon with daggers and bandannas over their heads. "Lightning Paw!" That sent two of them running. "I'll teach you not to mess with us, girl!" He charged towards the snake digimon. " Bring it on! Flaming Strike!" Her hand glowed red, almost like fire. She punched the charging digimon very hard. The small digimon staggered back a couple of steps. "I'll get you for this." He stared running with the rest of his troop.

"Sorry about that. Thanks for helping me out." " No problem! Why where they after you anyway?" "I'll tell you that later. Right now, we have to go someplace else." They got out of town into a small clearing in the woods. "My name is Chikaramon, what's yours?" "My name is Gatomon." "My name is Wizardmon." "Now that we have all introduced ourselves you want to know why I was being chased by those guys, correct?" She pulled out a small amulet. "This is why." Gatomon looked at the amulet closely. " Hey, there's an inscription on it!" Chikaramon looked at the inscription. "In..Inochi…kuru….Inochi kuru. Hmm. Inochi kuru. I wonder what that means?" " This is all very puzzling." Wizardmon was now inspecting it as well. "Well, what do we do now?" Chikaramon rubbed her stomach. "I don't know about you guys, but I need some food!"

That can be taken care of.

Chikaramon stepped back from the creature that appeared right before her. "What the hell are you?!" Wizardmon placed a hand over her shoulder. "Relax. It's just Mahou. She's a friend of ours."

Good. You found her. Now, about the food, what do you want?

"Found her? What does that mean?" Gatomon looked at the confused digimon. "She's supposed to come with us?"

Yes.

"What's going on?" After explaining the whole situation to Chikaramon, she seemed to understand most of it. She turned to Wizardmon. "So, you're supposed to be dead?" Wizardmon nodded. Then she turned to Gatomon. "And you're one of the digidestined?" Gatomon also nodded. "God, this is getting to be a weird day." "That reminds me, what were the digimon chasing after you called?" "Those dimwitted thugs? They're called Piratemon." She said with a smirk. "Well let's get going! Where do we go, anyway?"

You need to find a cave around here. There's something in it you might find handy later on.

"Ok let's go!"
