* looks up from her computer* Oh, dear God, Zara has updated rather quickly this time! Has the world ended or what?? *grins* Okay, no really, I was in a writing mood and suddenly, my muse decided to hit me . . .*looks around for her muse* Ah, he must be hiding. . .I just wanted to thank him!
Oh, this is the fifth chapter of the Dark Mist Saga. . .I hope whoever is reading this, is enjoying this. If not, I'm sorry if it's not up to your standards or whatever. Like I care.

*stares* Oh, so there's my muse. . .Hmm, nice to see you again. . .Are you going to leave me with no ideas for the next chapter, making these poor readers who are reading the DMS to wonder and hate me?

*shrugs* Okay. . .Want to say the disclaimer?
Sure, I love disclaimers!
You wouldn't know, for you've never really done one. . . *stops at muse's glare* okay, okay, I'll be nice. Go for it, muse...*needs to think of a name for her muse*

*claps* very good, muse. . .
Thank you.
Okay, on with the story, readers! You can ignore me and my muse, we're just crazy. . .^_^

"Just like old times, huh?" Tai muttered cheerfully, as he and the other Digidestined sat around the camp fire. He stared at the flames, thinking about the memories of their first time in the digital world.
"Yeah." Matt replied, losing himself as well in the flames. He sat next to Gabumon, totally unaware of the fact that Gabumon was keeping a very watchful eye on him. He smiled at Tai. "Remember all those fights we used to have?"
"Of course. How could I not?" Tai retorted back, and grinned smugly. "I did kick your ass more times than you kicked mine."
"Nah-uh, I kicked yours more," Matt shot back, raising an eyebrow.
Kari giggled and TK just rolled his eyes. Davis and Ken exchanged amused glances and Sora just smiled, taking a hold of Tai's hand and giving it a squeeze. She was glad to have him back....as well as Matt. She glanced over at him, having a guilty feeling. She hadn't told him yet that TK had told her his secret. She bit her lip and thought it would be best not to bring it up. She didn't want to cause a rift in TK and Matt's relationship.
"Don't worry about it," Tai told her softly. "TK will tell him all in good time that he had told you and I." He and Matt's conversation had ended and now Ken, Davis and Kari were all discussing their time in the Digital world, comparing the older Digidestined's journey with theirs.
Sora sighed, resting her head against his shoulder, gazing up at the stars that were visible. "I still feel so bad; yet I know you are right." She replied just as softly.
Tai bit his lip. "As do I, Sora, as do I." He whispered, closing his eyes and sighing.
Matt noticed Sora and Tai's concerned and worried glances that were directed at him. He felt that it wasn't about how he had been acting, but something entirely different. He glanced at his brother who was off a little, talking to Patamon, with a worried and anxious expression on his face. He frowned, something was up.
He stood up and ignored everyone's gazes as he made his way toward his brother. He sat down and said, quietly, "TK, something is up. Tell me."
TK started and a guilty look flashed across his face. "What do you mean what is up? Nothing's up, really, we're just worried about this outcome----" He lied, rambling a little.
"TK, you are not a great liar." Matt cut in smoothly. "Stop lying to me. You and Tai and Sora all keep giving me these looks and I've a feeling it's about something I thought I told you to keep to yourself."
"Um..."TK sighed and groaned. "Look, I'm sorry, Matt, I really am! I had to tell Tai and Sora about how you felt about Sora, and how you were considering to ask her out, but Tai beat you to it, and how it hurt you and-----"
Matt's face became blank. "So they know?" He asked.
TK's face flushed guiltily and nodded. "Yes...they do." He answered. "I'm so sorry, Matt! But I was concerned about you! So they were too!" He paused. "I had to tell Tai so he could feel really bad and come and save you!" He added.
Matt stared at his grass, biting his lip. After a few seconds of silence, TK staring at him hesitatingly waiting for his reaction, he was surprised to see Matt look up, with tears in his eyes. He gently touched his older brother's shoulder and asked, "Matt. . .what is wrong?"
"I'm sorry, TK." Matt said softly. "I just want to thank you...You did the right thing...and I can't hate you, nor get mad at you for worrying about me."
TK grinned and gave his brother a hug. "Matt, you're my brother, I care and I love you more than anything! You've got to see that by now!" He chided his brother gently. "You've got to see that everyone else does too!"
Matt smiled. "I know, I know...." Was all he said, and gave a yawn. "I'm sorry, but I'm dreadfully tired...this has NOT been one of the best days I've had!"
TK laughed. "Hmm, I thought that was yesterday that you were having a bad day!" He pointed out.
"Um...whatever," Matt said lamely, raising an eyebrow. "Same thing, if you ask me!"
TK laughed quietly and soon Matt joined in. Matt jerked his head towards the fire and asked, "Want to join them now?"
TK smiled. "As long as you come with me." He glanced at Patamon who had been sitting at TK's side quietly, just listening and watching the two brothers chat. "You too, Patamon."
"Of course, TK!" Patamon replied back cheerfully. He looked at Matt. "You okay now, Matt?"
Matt smiled, and replied, "Yeah, I think I am." He helped TK up and the trio joined the rest of the group. Matt gave Tai and Sora a small smile and mouthed, "I know now." Then he winked and sat down, joining the other's conversation, leaving the couple staring at him with surprise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wing," Mimi muttered in her sleep, as she groaned softly. "Wing and birds....angels..."
Joe stared. "Izzy, she is talking in her sleep about birds and angels and wings," He told the redhead who was still looking at the prophecy with Yolie and Cody. "Maybe she's getting help."
They were still in the computer lab at the school, and it had only been an hour since Fortuenmon had disappeared without a trace, leaving them all the more puzzled. Mimi was tired from her pack and flight, and had fallen asleep, her head in her arms on a table. The others thought it was best to let her sleep, not wanting her to disturb her. They all knew how she felt about her beauty sleep. (A/N: hehehe, really now...^_^...Just being silly)
Izzy stopped as did everyone. They all stared at Joe then at Mimi then back at Joe. Izzy coughed slightly, and asked, "Do you like Mimi, Joe to be staring at her while she is sleeping?"
Joe blushed. "No, I just heard her and I looked over." He stammered.
"Yeah, sure," Yolie replied, rolling her eyes. "Just listen and see if she says anymore, Joe."
Joe sighed, and closed his eyes. "Whatever you say, Yolie." He replied. Then suddenly he opened his eyes having an idea. He quietly pushed his chair over to Mimi, ignoring the puzzled looks. He took a deep breath, and let it out slowly.
"Mimi, can you hear me?" Joe asked softly, seeing if he could attempt to have a conversation with her while she was sleeping.
"Hmm, Joe, what're you doing here?" Mimi mumbled. "But I'm glad to see you anyways."
"As am I, Meems." Joe replied, not believing that this was working. "You said something about wings?"
Mimi's face lit up. "Wings are essential. They help those who need it to fly and go after dreams. They are on angels, which . . .help when you need them." She answered. "I thought I was by myself at the time I said that, but whatever."
"You were, but I over heard you. I just was curious as to why you said that." Joe replied.
"Oh. Okay."
Izzy, Cody and Yolie all stared at the two, amazed that this was happening. It was just too weird to see someone talking to another in their sleep yet both holding a decent conversation.
"Do you know how that fits into the prophecy?" Joe asked, biting his lip, hoping that she'd have an answer.
"It doesn't have anything to do with the prophecy," Mimi answered.
Joe and the others groaned silently, all hoping that they were about to have a change of luck.
"However," Mimi continued, bringing silence back to the room, "If you take the original prophecy, copy and paste it, the answer will show itself as clear as day."
Joe blinked, and frown. That did not make any sense what so ever. He glanced over at Izzy. "Should we. . . ?" He asked doubt in his voice.
"I don't see why not," Izzy replied, already doing the task. "What harm could it do?" He replied.
Just then Mimi woke up to find her self staring into the face of Joe. She yawned and blinked her eyes. "Joe, what're you doing way over here?" She asked.
"Believe it or not, Meems, we just had a conversation." Joe answered.
"What, you and I?" Mimi asked, confused.
"Yes."
"But. . .but I was sleeping--- how can I talk to you if I was sleeping?" Mimi asked, even more confused and a hint of doubt in her tone.
"We don't know; we think someone was talking through you," Yolie replied, taking over for a bit.
"Kind of like hidden help or something," Cody commented. "They can't help us directly, but they can reach us in our dreams."
"Was it Fortuenmon?" Mimi wondered. She shook her head and answered her own question. "I don't think it was. Someone else is helping us, but who?"
"Who ever it was, we should thank them," Izzy said slowly. "We just got another clue."
"Why, what's up?" Yolie replied, glancing at the computer screen, as did the others. "Hey, its just the prophecy, it doesn't look any different."
"Yes, it does, look harder." Izzy replied, waiting for the others see.
"Some of the words are in bold...and capitalized." Mimi said slowly, as she glanced at it.
What they saw was:
"The Original Carrier of the Crest of FriendsHip shall fall and create pure evil. ThOugh he may have a caring heart, his feelings of loneliness and sadness are dominate than those of haPpinEss and love.
"Defeating all enemies SHALL not be AN easy task, but it can be Done. However defeating the Dark Mist WILL not. Only the power and strength of The Crest of FriendsHip can it be brokEn--only to cost the Life of the carrier. The love of all combined shall bring back the Crest of FriendshiP."
". . .I don't get it," Yolie replied. "I don't see anything as to what those bold letters mean expect the word 'shall' and 'will' and 'an'."
Izzy frowned, his eyes scanning it out. "Yolie copy the bold letters and words out as they appear, please, on a piece of paper." He asked.
Yolie ran to her back pack and dug through it, and retrieved a notebook. She quickly scribbled out the letters as she saw them : "H O P E SHALL AN D WILL H E L P"
"Okay, got it." She replied and held it out for all to see. "Anyone see anything?"
Mimi blinked her eyes. "Hope shall and will help." she said slowly, surprising herself and the others. "That's what it says."
Izzy frowned and did a quick once over only to see that she was right. "Mimi, you're right, there is no other way as to what else it could mean. That is the answer. . ."
"Hope?" Cody questioned. "What does that mean though? Is it talking about the crests?"
"Crests. . ." Izzy muttered slowly. "Crest of Hope. . .TK, of course." He replied. "But how does he fit into this. . .?"
Joe sighed. "If you ask me none of this fits together; none of this makes any sense." He said. "How, why does . . . When did TK get involved?"
"Because Matt and TK are brothers; they are the opposite of each other." Cody replied seriously. "TK is happy, bright, open and emotional. Matt on the other hand guards himself. Sure, he is there when you need him and he does make a good friend, but he keeps it within him."
"Matt needs TK and TK needs Matt," Yolie added. "If anything was to happen to the other, they'd be devastated. Matt can't do this alone, he needs TK, whether he knows it or not."
"Hmm, but. . .he also needs the rest of us as well, its just TK can get to Matt in ways in which we cannot." Izzy replied.
"So. . .This means what now?" Mimi replied, waving her hand in a circle. "And how does this help us and the others?"
Izzy directed his gaze onto Mimi. "Nothing should happen to TK or else Matt will lose hope, and will go back to how he was and make the Dark Mist stronger than it already is." He replied solemnly. "We can't let that happen either; TK has to be protected--- He means the world to Matt. Without TK, Matt probably wouldn't be alive, unless Tai got through to him."
"Oh." Mimi replied. "Well, isn't that happy news." She replied sarcastically.
"It is in a way, for we now know that in order for Matt to continue TK needs to be alive." Joe replied. He gave Mimi a smile. "Well, Mimi, you must be our good luck, for ever since you arrived we've made progress --- more progress than before!"
Mimi blushed and replied, somewhat smugly and snobbishly, yet sincerity in her voice, "Of course, I am Mimi, the girl who is there for her friends!"
Yolie snickered. "And most likely to get grounded for a year for leaving in the middle of the night without telling her parents anything!" She added.
Mimi groaned and said, "Don't remind me!" She paused, a thought accruing to her. "Wait, what if Matt dies? Then TK would lose hope and that would be bad, for he is the carrier of Hope."
Just then her cell phone ring and all looked at it, the question momentarily forgotten. Mimi glanced at the number and said two words : "My dad."
"Don't answer it!" Yolie blurted. "When you call him back, be like, 'oh, I must've been in the bathroom when you called' because I can guarantee that he will want you home right now!" She explained quickly.
Mimi bit her lip, conflicted. She turned off her phone and looked at the shock faces of Cody and Joe, and said, "My friends are more important at the moment."
Izzy and Yolie nodded with understanding and then Izzy broke the silence by saying, "Mimi, what did you say earlier?"
"I said, what if Matt dies? TK would surely lose hope then. He adores his older brother and means the world to him." She answered.
"Ohh, I see now. But Matt is and will going to die, according to the prophecy." Yolie said.
"No, I know that, but I meant what if he doesn't . . . What if he and the others don't get a chance to get that far though?" She said thoughtfully.
Izzy bit his lips. "Well. . ." He started to say then shook his head vigorously. "No, they will make it; this is Tai and Davis we're talking about--- the both of them will push the others until they're tired, but the others know it's for a good purpose. We've made it and so have the younger Digidestined; we all can do it again if we have to and we will." He said, his words bringing back hope and positive outlook on things.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fortuenmon sighed quietly, as she waited for her twin digimon sister to come out and speak to her. They both had a part to play to help the Digidestined beat their cousin. She sighed again and started to pace, wondering what had happened to Chancemon, for she was running rather late and that was very unlike her--- she was the most punctual person she had to know.
"Fortuenmon!" Came a cry, bringing the digimon out of her trance. She blinked, looking to see who it was who called her name with joy.
"Chancemon!" She cried back, smiling. "Where have you been? You are late and that is not like you!" She felt much better now that her sister was here, a place not in the Digital World nor the Earth. But some where in between.
Chancemon smiled back and blinked her eyes slowly, a mischievous look sparkling up in them. "I am aware that I am late and my dear sister, I did not mean to worry you so. I had a business to tend to Mimi, one of the Digidestined. I had to use her in order to pull my part." She explained softly.
"What took so long though?" Fortuenmon asked, puzzled. "All you had to do was talk to her through her sleep."
"That's the thing." Chancemon replied, sighing and rolled her golden eyes. "It took forever for that Mimi to fall asleep!"
Fortuenmon laughed. "Ah, well, you did talk through her, yes?" She asked.
"Of course," her sister replied, nodding her eyes. "And they figured out the message without any trouble and what it could mean." She paused. "Those kids sure are smart."
Fortuenmon nodded. "Yes, which is why they're the ones who can destroy our cousin. He has gone too far and this has to stop." She replied, all humor gone from her voice, with seriousness replacing it.
"He won't find out that we're helping the Digidestined destroy him, will he?" Chancemon asked, fear suddenly trembling in her voice. "If he does, we are so dead!"
"He won't; I made sure that he won't." Fortuenmon said firmly. "If Sinistermon thinks he can get away with this--- he is wrong. He won't take over the digital world nor earth. There are way too many innocent bystanders and lives involved in this. We can't let anyone get hurt."
Chancemon nodded slowly. "But, dear sister, he has already have gone far enough. Many digimon have been hurt because of what he has done to the Digital World so far. The Mist isn't strong in some parts, but the darkness is present, and it frightens the digimon that are still alive."
Fortuenmon sighed wearily. "I tried to hold off some of the Mist and the darkness, but unfortunately I can do so much. I can't get involved too much or Sinistermon will definitely noticed."
Chancemon nodded. "Yeah, let's do the best that we can and hope that the Digidestined will be able to do the rest and save our world."
Fortuenmon did not have a reply to that, she just stared into her sister's eyes and nodded her head slowly, understanding what would happen if the Chosen Children couldn't save their world and theirs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sora's eyes blinked sleepily, as she tried to keep herself awake. She was on guard duty, keeping watch. Keeping for watch, she did not know nor did the others. But Tai and Davis both agreed that it would be a good idea to have someone keep watch every two hours or so. She knew she was nearing her end of the watch, but she just couldn't keep her eyes open much longer--- she had to wake Tai up, for he was the next person.
She shook her head, determined to last the rest of the half-hour that was left on her watch. She had to. She didn't want the others to think that she was weak. . .
She shook her head, wondering where that thought had come from. I know the others don't see me as someone weak. She thought to herself. I know that they don't!
So where did that thought come from?
Sora's eyes widened, feeling very uncomfortable all of a sudden. She stood up abruptly from her tree stump and spun around, her eyes scanning the camp for any signs of life.
Something or someone was here--- she sensed that. But what, she did not know. She bit her lip and silently crept to where Tai was sleeping. She nudged him gently, wanting to wake him up.
He groaned and muttered, "Uhh, no, I don't want to milk Daisy."
Sora frowned, puzzled then giggled. She wondered what he was dreaming about. She nudged him a tad bit harder , intending him to wake up.
Tai sat up unexpectedly and yelled, "DAISY! NO!"
Just as he sat up, a digimon came charging at the two, attacking the two teens. Sora screamed and smacked Tai, wanting him to wake up; he did only to scream as he noticed the digimon charging at them as he glanced behind Sora's back.
Tai started to call for Agumon but it was too late; the digimon had tackled Sora, making her fall onto Tai. Tai knocked his head on the hard ground, leaving him unconscious. Sora struggled from the digimon's gripe, trying to get her voice to work. That was when she felt the teeth of the digimon sinking into her shoulder. . .leaving her with intense pain.
Sora started to feel dizzy and started to black out, but before she did, she cried out, weakly, "Biyomon. . ."
