This starts where I left off and I don't own digimon. I think that's all I have to tell you.

Matt walked into the school. He looked around. Everyone must be out side. He thought as he stared at the almost empty hallways.

He walked to his locker and put his book bag inside and took out his binder. Then he shut his locker and turned around. His locker was right across the hall from his first class, which is pretty convenient. So he walked to the door then stopped. That girl was in his class. That one with brown hair that was in his math class just before lunch. She was the one that could tell when he lied. But she wasn't in his science class. So why was she in there? He didn't know.

He shrugged off the thought and thought maybe she's just there to ask help in science before school. Yeah that's it. At least that's what he told himself even though he knew, somehow he knew, it wasn't true.

He walked through the classroom to his desk.

As he sat down he saw out of the corner of his eye that she was watching him. He just sat down. He came to class early to get caught up on his science. He was working almost all the time last night on his math that he didn't get to his science and needed to ask help from the teacher. So he just sat down and got out his books.

"Excuse me. May I talk to you?" The brunette asked from the desk beside him.

Matt looked up at the girl and said, "Um-yeah. Ok." He really wasn't in the mode to talk to anyone other then the teacher but he didn't want to be rude either.

"Hi I'm Jenny. You know Massar don't you." Matt eyes shot up to her. He was now ready to give her his full attention.

"Yeahhhhh… How did you know about Massar… and how did you know that I knew about him?"

"A simple technique I've learned. I can scan the, what I call, top of someone's mind. You were worrying about Massar finding you so I found that out by scanning it. And, yes, that means I have magic too. So, I haven't seen too many magic users. What are you like? What can you do?" She had a wide smile across her face. Her face was filled with curiosity.

Matt was surprised that she didn't see anything wrong with her question. He had a million questions of his own that needed to be answered before he could answer any of her pity questions. "Wait a moment." He said. "I have some questions that need to be answered right now if you're telling the truth."

"Are you calling me a liar?" She said accusingly.

"Well I don't know what to think. I saw you for the first time in my life yesterday and now I'm supposed to tell you my strengths and weaknesses."

"I guess your right. I'm sorry. I just got carried away. You're the only other person other then Mack that uses magic. Go a head ask me a question and I'll answer." She looked at him waiting for Matt to ask.

She didn't look like she even cared what the question would be so Matt asked, "How come you aren't at Massar's society if you're a magic user? I didn't think that he let anyone go."

"Well," she said rolling her eyes in the back of her head trying to remember every detail. "I was in Massar's society by choice. Yes, I choice to go. I thought 'why not. I will learn how to use magic properly and it would for the better, right'. I was an orphan so no one would miss me. I said that I would go and they took me to teach me how to use my magic. I was there for three years. They brought me in when I was seven. They thought the younger the better but I don't think they were right because as Massar said 'She isn't progressing as we planned'…"

"So they just let you go?" Matt said with surprise.

"Oh no. God no. They couldn't do that. Massar had to take away my power before he let me go… but as they didn't know I did learn something from there. I learned how to hide some of my magic away. I can seal a bit deep in side of my self. Massar didn't bother looking there to take my magic away so I still had it when they sent me away. But I was very weak."

"But wouldn't that mean you only have a little magic left?"

"Nope. Because, as long as you don't give up too much of it, your body will make more of it. But when Massar took my magic I became so weak that I passed out. At the time I didn't know that if you loose all of your magic that you die. It's your life force. The moment you come in contact with your own magic it becomes your life force. If you loose too much of your magic then it can not be replenished which is why I am still here because I stored enough of it away so that I could still use it."

"But you said that you know how to scan people's minds… and mine mind. Were you taught that in the society because you said you learned almost nothing there?"

"No. It was about two years ago when Massar tried to take away all my magic and two years ago when another magic user found me. I woke up in a back street on a blanket. Mack was the one that found me. He had taught me how to use magic. He knew of Massar even though he never went to Massar's society. He was taught by, I don't know whom, to use magic and he taught me. And for some reason I was able to learn it from him and no one else. So now can you answer my questions?"

Matt did not know all this. He didn't know that the magic became his life force and that there were magic users out side of the society. Wait till Max finds out. He thought. Then he realized he left her hanging with out an answer so he said, "Um, yeah. Well I'm not a 'born' magic user…"

"WHAT?! What do you mean? How come Massar wants you then?"

"I don't know. He-um-I was brought to the society about a year…hmmm and maybe six months ago. He didn't tell me why he took me but he did give me this." Matt pulled out the card that was in his back pocket and laid it on the desk.

Her eyes gazed over it and she looked at it trying to figure out what it had to do with anything. "This is what Massar put his magic in for me to use." Matt stated. "Me and my friend escaped the society about five months ago. Massar wants us back and were trying to keep away. When we were in Okinawa we met a friend that had been k-killed by one of those guys that work for him. But Max, my friend, and I got framed for the murder. I actually shouldn't stay in this city. This is my home city where my friends and family will get in the way and be in as much danger as Max and I are in."

"Then why don't you leave?"

"It's a long story. To make things short it's like I'm on petrol and can't leave… at least just yet."

"You should come meat Mack. He can help."

"I can't…"

"I've got an idea. Why don't you come tonight? Just for a few. Say you got detention and then Mack can help. He always finds a way."

Matt was doubtful about this. He didn't really want to go to Juvenile and loose everything he has fought for but if Mack could help then why not. He could help everything. Matt sighed. "I don't know…"

"Oh come on. If what you're saying is true then this could help you a lot."

"But I should have Max come…"

"You'll only come tonight in order to make a reservation for Mack and Max to meet."

"…Alright…" Matt was uncertain about this choice but he had to see if this Mack guy is all he's cracked up to be.

"Great!" She said standing up and gathering her books. "Meet in the back when the bell goes at the end of the day. Bye." And then she walked to the door and left.

BRING!!! The bell sounded through out the school that told all who were in it those three words that every one loves to hear. 'School is out.' The sound of chairs squeaking when the children all stood up from their desks echoed through the school. The halls quickly filled with students and voices of excitement… all except one who kept very quiet. Even more so then usual.

Matt stood at his desk and got ready to leave fast, at least that was his plan. But his plan was not as he expected when he heard a quiet voice say, "Matt. We need to talk." Matt looked up to see Sora standing in front of him.

"Oh. Hi Sora. I have to go." He said quickly as he went to pass her. But Sora stood in front of him not giving him the option to pass.

"No. I said 'we need to talk'. I've noticed that you have been avoiding everyone 'cept Tai and that probably means that your still angry at us for… you know…"

"Sora, lets talk later. Right now I really need to go." Matt said urgently. He was growing impatient and knew that Jen might think that he changed his mind and decided not to meat her.

"No. We need to talk now. I want to clear this up so we can still be friends and your not going to so I'll have to." Matt realized it was hopeless so he slumped his shoulders and listened.

"Now I'm sorry for what we did but we did it for the best and if…"

"Tai already said all this and, not to be rude, but it's getting kinda old."

Matt surprised Sora. She was feeling kind of worried about confronting Matt. She was afraid that he would blame her and that they would start yelling but that wasn't happening.

"Ok… then why are you avoiding us?"

"I don't know. It just seems easier that way but I'll try and stop ok. Now if I can please get by."

"Uh-yeah-yeah ok. Sorry." And then she moved out of the way and Matt rushed by her and started running down the halls. Please still be there. He pleaded.

Jen waited at the back of the school. She was waiting longer then she thought she would. Jen thought Matt would be right there ready to do this and they'd go almost right away but he wasn't there. Jen started passing as her mind went wild. He's not coming. God I should have know. We just met. He probably thinks I'm crazy or going to get him in worse trouble then he already is and he won't see Mack. Oh god why would he think that. I'm not like that. I won't get him in trouble right…Right? I mean he won't get in trouble will he. He is putting everything on the line if he comes. She looked at her watched. He was ten minutes late. He's not coming. She stopped pacing and started to walk home.

"Jenny!" She heard someone say her name. She turned around and saw Matt running towards her.

She felt so relieved when she saw him that she could have kissed him… but didn't. He ran up to her and put his hands on his knees as he tried to catch his breath. "So you did believe me. Trust me this will help you a lot."

"Yeah. I hope." Matt gasped out.

"What took you so long though?"

"I became occupied for a moment. That's all."

"Ok well lets go." Matt stood back up tall and they started walking. They walked in silence both in there own thoughts. They didn't know what to say to each other and nothing seemed to be needed to be said. So they just kept the silence. Matt watched his surrounding carefully. A habit he picked up on the streets. Just in case he ever needed to run though these parts or to see if there was anything that would put him at risk around the area. But nothing there looked dangerous. At least not yet.

He kinda remembered this area. From a long time ago. Just before his parents had TK they all lived in the ghetto. The poor and bad part of town. That was where he was heading into and he knew it. But that didn't bug him. What bugged him is that he now knew that he was going to meat someone that lived in the ghetto and from past experiences people that live in the ghetto aren't always the nicest. Some are but then you get those people who do drugs and drink out of boredom and steal because they can and people in gangs and more. They were not those kinds of people that he wanted to remember ever again.

But if this guy can help him he had to take the chance of meeting one of those people that weren't the nicest. The street he was going down had apartments, and department stores, and about two dollar stores lining the street. This place was about two to three blocks from the school.

"Here this way. We have to go fast." Jen said and started jogging into an alley to there left. Matt fallowed her. About twelve feet in side of the alley Jen went up to this metal door in the side of a building. She walked up to it and knocked on it three times. Nothing happened. She didn't look surprised. Then she knocked two more times and the door opened with two guys standing there. They were both big guys and they both looked about the same age as Max.

Jen didn't seem scared, nervous; she didn't even blink only smiled at them like if they were long time friends. They looked at Jen then to Matt and their faces stretched into a smile.

"Hey. Who's the blond?" One asked.

"None of your business Dan." She said good-humouredly.

"So. In other words you're looking for Mack, huh?" The other said.

"Yup. Now let us in." They smiled to each other and let Jen and Matt in. As soon as the two stepped in one of the eighteen year olds left. Matt looked around the place. He was standing in the layer of a gang. He saw that a couple of then were smoking something that wasn't a cigarette and some had switchblades and others had handguns. He now was thinking that this was the biggest mistake he had ever made. Why did I listen to her when I don't even know her? Oh yeah. That' s why. I'M AN IDIOT !!! He yelled at himself.

"Don't feel nervous." She whispered to him.

"I'm not." He defended equally quiet.

"Don't lye to me. And you're not an idiot."

"Oh. Don't read my mind and tell me that I'll make it home in less then two pieces."

Jen chuckled to her self as she answered. "Don't worry.  Mack will make sure you do. Just wait till he gets here." Matt didn't really feel reinsured by this but decided to just wait as she said, hoping it would be ok.

After about a minute Jen nudged Matt in the side. "Ow." he whispered giving her a glare.

"Look." She said. She pointed to two people walking towards them. The first guy was one the two that got the door for when Jen knocked and the other, Matt presumed, was Mack. He had black hair and green eyes. He was wearing a black no sleeves T-shirt that really showed his muscles.

When Mack got in front of them he smirked. "Who's this? Hmmm. Nice pick if I do say so myself."

"He's not my boyfriend. I just met him today but so shut up.  But wait till you hear… actually I got a better idea.  Matt, show him."

"Show him what?"

"You know." She stated.

"Why do I have to show him?"

"Visual demonstration."

Matt let out a frustrated sigh and said, "Whatever." He didn't even care when he heard Mack chuckle. Matt took out the card that he had jammed in his pocket and brought it out in front of him. He held it in front of himself and concentrated. Ok. Now what should I do. Maybe levitate something. No. That's just dumb. Hmmm…maybe it's not such a bad idea.

Matt closed his eyes as he took his hand away from the card. It just floated there in a blue aurora of light. It slowly started spinning and steadily got faster and faster and faster and... Each time it got faster the blue light got stronger and spread though out the room. Every one was watching now. Wind started to pick up but only in the part of the room that Matt was in. Slowly and steadily Matt was lifted off of the ground. Small blue sparks of electricity flew off of the card that continued to spin fast. Matt's hair was whipping across his face and his hands were held up a bit as if he was trying to keep himself from falling over. Then Matt's eyes snapped open and the light retreated back into the card and he fell to the ground, the card fall lightly beside him. He picked himself and the card off the cement floor. He shoved the card in his back pocket out of habit.

Mack smiled at Matt and said, "So you must know Massar. Now I'm interested." Matt stood up waiting to find out if what he did was such a good idea when he saw the whole gang staring at him. He listened to Jen as she explained to Mack why she brought Matt there. When she was done Mack turned to Matt and said, "So. Maybe I could help you. But if you have another friend out there then I should meat with both of you. I might be able to help."

"But we won't be able to leave the house for more then school or unless we're with a friend. Our house is bugged by the police so we can't do anything."

Mack looked at Matt in curiosity before saying, "How long did you and your friend stay at Massar's society?"

Matt thought for a moment. "Maybe…eight months. But that was me. Max, I think, was there for two years... Why?"

"You now there is a way to transmit an image to cameras or sounds to speakers or recorders to trick the person that is watching or hearing you. But neither you or your friend were at Massar's society long enough to learn this technique." Mack stopped for a moment to think about something. "Maybe…maybe I should teach you two how to use your powers a bit more before you leave Odiaba." He paused again. "I'll meat you at your house tomorrow after school. Will your parents be home?"

"No. My parents are divorced and my fathers a bit of a workaholic so the house will only have me and Max in it."

"Perfect…"

"But…" Matt said in a second thought.

"But what?" Mack ushered Matt to speak his thoughts.

"Well my two friends will be coming over. I mean one of them will. They both are taking turns in catching me up with everything that I missed in school while I was at the society." But then Matt thought of something. "Well I could tell Izzy that Joe's going to come instead but I don't want to make Izzy feel bad."

"Matt." Jen asked. "Do you want your friend to be sad or not breathing?"

"Hmmm. I guess I should then." Matt said uncertainly.

"Great." Jen said excitedly.

"Then you better go back, Matt, and tell your friend about this." Matt nodded.

He looked at his digivice that he still had with him after all this time. The digital numbers read 4:06. "Shit." He mumbled to himself.

"What?" Asked Mack.

"I'm late. Max is going to kill me and the police are going to know it's not just some dumb detention that kept me."

"Maybe if you leave now you can still come up with an excuse to why you were this late. Hey! Maybe Mack could beat you up and you could say you got into a fight." Jen offered.

"Um-no. I think I'll pass on that but thanks." Matt said sarcastically. "By the way. My dad would flip if he found out I got into a fight on my first day of school." Jen shrugged. "Well I should get running."

"Wait a sec." Said Mack. "Jen stand back. Matt stand still."

"Why?" Matt asked as he raised his eyebrow.

"Just stay still." Mack put a hand out over Matt's head. A green light flowed out and over Matt. Matt closed his eyes just as the green light surrounded him. He tensed up a bit as he started to feel a bit lightheaded. He felt like he was floating in midair and that nothing was around him except for the green aurora. He could feel the glow. It was a tingling feeling and it completely surrounded him. Then a new kind of light pierced through his closed eyelids. He now felt as if he were standing on a different ground and that the green light had vanished. He opened his eyes to see that he was in an alley way beside his apartment. He was amazed not only that he was at his building but also by the fact that Mack knew where it was with out Matt having to say anything.

He felt energy fill him and he dashed out of the alley and to the stairs. He ran up all five floors and to his door where he tried to calm himself down. Breathing deeply he put his hand on the door handle to open it. But he didn't need to turn it because just then it flung open and someone grabbed his shirt and tugged him in.

To be continued.

I know how much everyone hates those three words. Trust me. I had a hard time writing them too. But you have to wait for more
