Hi guys!! No I didn't drop off the face of the earth. I'm ready to
write again since Christmas is over. (pouts) I love Christmas!! Oh well,
thank you for putting my story as one of your favorites Sailor Digimon!! If
you check out my favorite authors you will be in there. Also no offense to
anyone who asks me to e-mail him or her. I have nothing against you; I
just don't e-mail. (Don't hate me!) Well now after the disclaimer, which I
will do right now, (I don't own digimon!!!) I shall now begin the long
awaited next chapter. Oooh amazing!! Peace and Happy New Year! ;}
Izzy walked into the schools computer lab in a rush. It was only 10:00, so he still had time to himself before the others came. He popped open his d- terminal and opened the strange message Tai had sent him. The strangest part was it was all in digi-code.
"How did Tai get his hands on this?" Izzy questioned himself.
This had to have been the most complex code he had ever encountered. Even his laptop couldn't decipher it with the program he had written so long ago to decode the ancient lingo. About fifteen minutes passed by and Izzy was knocked out of his thoughts by the sound of footsteps approaching. Izzy turned and saw the shadow outside the door, belonged to none other than Tai. The older boy walked in. He looked like he hadn't slept a wink but Izzy thought it best not to mention this little fact.
"I thought you would be here Izzy." Tai smiled as he walked towards the younger boy, "Did you get my message?"
"Yes, but it doesn't make any sense. This digi-code is too complex." Izzy began to explain.
"Digi-code? I sent you a translated copy." Tai stated confused, "It's a riddle talking about the reign of darkness and stuff."
"It's in digi-code, see?" Izzy showed Tai the message.
"I don't understand." Tai muttered as he brought out his own terminal. He scrolled to the message in silence, then brought it up. It was still translated, as it had been last night. "See, it isn't in digi-code." He handed Izzy his computer so he could read the strange riddle.
"I'll write this down and have a look at it later." Izzy told Tai as he began scribbling the strange riddle down for further study.
Tai nodded in agreement, watching Izzy as he feverently finished adding the last few words to his copy of the paragraph. Shortly after Izzy finished, they heard the others coming.
"Izzy, just keep this between you and I for now okay? I don't want this to keep them worried. I'm stressed enough as it is." Tai whispered.
Izzy nodded and put the paper with the message on it in his pocket. The others strode in shortly after and the kids prepared to leave. Tai took his place by the computer, digivice in hand when he saw a shadow outside the room. It looked like a person for a brief second but then the image was gone. He ignored it and held up his digivice with the others as they headed to the digital world.
The figure that had ducked out of sight when it saw Tai looking straightened itself and walked into the computer room. It looked at the computer that the digidestined had gone through then smiled. A bright light then appeared and the figure was gone.
* * *
(In the digital world.)
The group of digidestined silently trudged through the forest they had come to. The digital world had lost its homey feel and no one felt comfortable talking. Every time there was a sound everyone froze expecting the worst and preparing for it. Gatomon was towards the end of the group her ears were perked ready to pick up any sound and identify it. Then she heard it. It was the sound of something burning. She turned towards the source fur bristled, fangs and claws bared ready to strike at any moment. The other digimon joined her making a line between the children and the unknown enemy.
"It's close." Gatomon hissed, as the sound grew louder.
"Please don't let it be who I think it is." Yolei whispered in a panic.
Then all of a sudden the bushes caught fire as they had the day before. It was Skullmeramon, as they had feared. Their digimon attacked trying to give the teens time to escape and this attempt was pretty much successful. Everyone got away except Sora. She was cornered as the digimon were thrown away like rag-dolls by the ultimate. The creature smiled and lifted up his chain to strike the girl. Luckily she dodged it and crawled away swiftly until she was stuck once more, but this time there was no opening to escape through. The creature lifted it's arm and threw a fireball her way, this time at a deadly range.
Tai had been trying to get to her this whole time and finally saw his chance. He slipped under the creatures' outstretched arm and stood before Sora, arms spread out to take the full blow of the attack.
Sora had covered head with her arms trying to protect herself expecting the blazing attack to touch her any second, but it never came. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Tai before her. She gave a shriek of horror thinking the attack had hit him then she saw it had not. The flames were feet from Tai but could go no further as if there was something stopping them.
"The shield." Sora whispered remembering Tai had said it was like glass.
She got over the shock of seeing the shield quickly and went to Tai to see if he was all right. He seemed to be looking far away, or thinking very hard because his eyes were glassy and distant. He held his arms outstretched still and he would not answer her when she tried to talk to him. Finally after what seemed like an eternity the attack stopped, the shield broke, and Tai snapped out of his trance.
"What happened?" Tai murmured softly. His head was aching and he could hardly stand for some strange reason.
Sora stared at him in shock then asked, "You don't remember what just happened?"
Tai looked at her just as puzzled as she was and replied "I ran to save you then it all went blank."
There was no more time to finish the conversation after these brief words were said. Skullmeramon was furious that his second attempt to kill a digidestined had failed and he didn't look like he was going to leave in peace this time. The monster raised his chain to strike the two people before him when it happened. A strange twanging sound, like someone plucking at a string, was heard and then the digital monster was struck with the same strange beam that had hit Triceramon. The light sent the creature to the ground unconscious for the moment. Sora who had buried her head in Tai's shoulder looked up in utter shock. The teens made haste to get out of the corner they had been trapped in and went to their friends and digimon. A few minutes later Skullmeramon roused and just as Triceramon had left without another word, he did the same.
Everyone was relieved that Tai and Sora were unscathed. Sora explained that there had been a shield just like Tai said before. She chose not to mention Tai blanking out. She felt he would tell them when he wanted to.
"I don't believe that the shield was just a coincidence." Izzy began a theory after listening to Sora's description of everything, "Something had to of been watching and waiting to help."
"Perhaps," Ken started, "but it just doesn't add up. Who would want to watch us so constantly?"
No one had an answer and it was getting late. The sun was beginning to set and the teens were starting to get a little tired. Tai especially, from his lack of sleep the night before. He finally had to call a stop and decided they would come back the next day at the same time. All agreed and everyone headed their separate ways.
The two figures stood among the trees watching them depart.
"The representative almost showed their face today." The tall figure began, "I felt their power it is almost free."
"Yes, I felt it as well." The small figure agreed, "They are still unaware of the danger. That can be their undoing if we don't watch them."
"I know," The larger figure sighed, "I almost blew it there today. If that shot had faltered then all would have been lost. They cannot lose their leader in such bleak times. It would be a catastrophe. Their bonds would fail and the hope of the digital world would have fallen to the darkness."
"Thankfully that didn't happen," the petite figure comforted its' companion. "The leader is safe. Now, we must leave this place."
"Of course, let us go." With these final words the figures vanished, leaving the empty clearing.
* * *
(On the balcony at the Kamiya'.)
Tai sighed thoughtfully looking up into the starry heavens once more.
"What happened today?" he questioned himself, "I should have remembered the shield but it's all a blur."
After he had gotten home that night Tai had been thinking nonstop about the day's events. The strange thing was it gave him a headache when he tried to recall the shield to his memory. Now he was in his refuge seeking sanctuary among the stars.
"I've got to sleep." He murmured softly trying to think of something he could do to get his mind off this dreadful day and lull him to sleep at the same time. "The riddle," he whispered, "that will work for sure."
He opened his small computer and opened the message. He read the words over slowly but nothing came to him. Then weariness hit him hard with vengeance. He put the dratted riddle away and trudged off to bed.
His slumber was not peaceful as he hoped it would be. It was clouded with dreams. The one that was the most real was also the strangest.
He saw something in the distance. A shadow that was dark, cold, and it gave off the feeling of being soulless. He shivered at the sight of the monstrosity and tried to step back from it. His feet would not hear his minds' command. He was stuck and the cold figure still came closer. Then he felt something warm. It was a light that seemed to come from within him. The cold figure suddenly lurched back in either fear or shock, if it was possible for the thing to do either. He no longer felt a need to fear and pushed forward. He felt someone else was coming forward with him. He turned and saw a figure of light marching onward to the shadow with him. He recognized the form but at the same time he did not recognize it. He tried to look closer but before he could, he woke.
It was night time when he woke and he was still exhausted. He shook off the feeling of the dream and fell back into his deep slumber.

I know it was long, and no cliffhanger!! Yikes! Two heart attacks at once, too much! Enough, I have gabbed too much. Please review as always! Thanks lots!! Neo-Kitty
