SAME TIME AS BEFORE
Tai~
So I wake up, and I'm sitting in a corner of this room that's cold, wet, dark and pretty much empty. I looked around. In one corner was a bench of sorts, another, a window, and the last a young girl...pretty, with blue hair and blue eyes, and she was sitting there staring at me. I stood up and walked over slowly.
She shrank back against the wall behind her, and that's when I realized she had bruises up and down her arms, along her neck and her face. This girl had been abused, which was a shame...as she was pretty.
"I won't hurt you..."
She sniffled a bit.
"You want what they want," she said with a growing contempt.
I shook my head.
"If I wanted what they wanted, would I be locked in here with you?"
She sat there for a moment, contemplating this last statement. She looked up into my eyes, and tried to study my face in the dark.
"I'm Ami...who are you?"
I smiled now that she had responded.
"I'm Tai. Where are we?"
She shook her head.
"I don't know...somewhere in the Digital World's outreaches. I got my computer taken away from me...so I don't know for sure."
I shook my head.
"How did you get here?"
"I was defending a friend, got kidnapped, and when I was awake from being knocked out...I was here. What about you?"
"Ah..same, a little. I was here for a meeting with the Digital 'Princess', and she ambushed me and my friends."
"You can travel to the Digital World on your own will? You must be a Digi-Destined. Who else is here with you, Tai?"
"Uh...let's see...Matt, Yolei, Mimi, Cody, Davis and Serena."
Ami's eyes widened.
"Serena?"
And with that she passed out, slumped against the wall, with only me to watch out for her.
Matt~
I shook myself awake. I was leaning up against a wall of a would be jail cell. Sitting next to me, with her head on my shoulder, was Mimi.
I took her and held her out in front of me, but it was obvious she was unconsious. Oh man, I thought, if I don't help her Izzie's gunna kill me!
A resounding step sounded from behind me. I swung around as fast as I could. There was a girl, with green eyes, brown hair, and a short green mini skirt outfit thing.
I stood up and readied to defend myself, just incase she was going to try something. When she stepped closer, I cried out in suprise. She was at least half a foot taller than me!
The girl smiled at my shock and held out her hand.
"The name's Lita. You better leave your friend be, or she'll slip into a coma."
I stared at Lita's hand, and finally put my own hand towards hers.
"Matt," I said as we shook hands.
"So what are you in here for?" she asked, her eyes never leaving my face.
"Helping out a friend."
Lita laughed, cold and dark. She turned and peered out the bars.
"Me too. Sad little thing she is, really. She'll come looking for us any day now, though. She'll have faith."
I choked back a suprised gasp, and Lita turned towards me.
"Y...you mean, S-Serena?"
Lita's eyes flew open in suprise.
"You know Serena?"
I nodded my head and in two quick strides, Lita was at my side, clutching my arm.
"Is she here?"
Again I nodded.
"Yeah. We came with her to protect her when she found you and the rest."
Lita looked out the window and sighed.
"Thank you God, now we are saved." She turned back to me. "Thanks for guiding her."
"No prob, its my job as a Digi-Destined. Be loyal to one another."
"Is Serena a Digi-Destined too?"
"Yeah, why?"
Lita turned away.
"Maybe that's why the Digi-Princess wants to destroy her so badly." Lita looked at me. "She's twice as valuable."
Sora~
We all landed in a huge pile at the bottom of the Digi-Port. Somehow, Pajesomon landed on the top, bouncing up and down on Ken's head.
It took us at least five minutes to untangle ourselves, but when we did, we started missing the security blanket feeling.
We were all looking around a huge, dark forest. I quickly linked arms with Kari. Hell, I was scared!
Ken took a flashlight from Joe's bag and shined it around, finally landing on Pajesomon.
"Where to, Squirt?" he asked.
Pajesomon turned away from the light and looked around for a second.
"Give me a minute," she said. She ambled over to a tree and sniffed at it. She shook her head no, then went over and sniffed another tree. At the third tree, she jumped into the air with happiness.
"Come on! Serena's this way!" she yelled before running off along a dark path.
We all scrambled after her as fast as we could, determined not to get lost or be last in line.
Being third to last in line, I was able to hear the shriek behind me. I whirled around to see Kari lying on the ground crying in fear, TK trying to shield her from a small Digimon I had never seen before. I backtracked as fast as I could, then dove in with an experted soccer kick.
The Digimon went flying, but three more took it's place. My eyes flew wide as they jumped through the air, attacking me.
TK managed to grab one off of me and threw it against the tree. As it slid down, it gave a whimper, then a large shriek battle cry. The whole forest went silent as we watched the little thing scream over and over.
Suddenly, the forest was filled with hundreds of the tiny little Digimon. I helped Kari to her feet, and, along with TK, we ran as fast as we could to get to the others.
I was tackled from behind and hit the ground. Two more thuds behind me told me TK and Kari were in the same situation.
I flipped over onto my back, and tried to fight back- fight towards my friends. My attempts were feeble.
As my head started spinning and my vision went black, I called out, "Biomon!"
The last thing I heard before I blacked out was a tiny voice, yelling
"SPIRAL TWISTER!"
Serena~
I was racking with sobs, sitting on a bench. Raye was sitting near my feet, a comforting arm around my shoulder, another on my knee.
Darien was standing in the corner, watching and observing me as tears fell down the sides of my face.
"I mi-missed you s-so much!" I choked out.
Raye threw her arms around me and hugged me close to her. Tears began to cloud her eyes too.
"We missed you too, Meatball-Head. But we're here now. Don't worry."
"Besides," Darien said from the corner. "We were only gone for about two days."
I looked up at him with hate and hurt in my eyes.
"Two days?" I whispered. "What are you talking about? It's been almost seven months."
Raye back away in suprise, as did Darien. They turned to each other, confusion evident on their faces.
"Seven-seven months, Serena? Are you sure?" Raye asked.
I nodded my head and my eyes teared up again.
"How is that possible?" Dairen asked, crossing the room and sitting next to me. He took my hands in his. "Tell the truth, Serena."
I pulled away from him and sighed. How dare he think I lie, I thought.
"You're in the Digital World."
"The Digital World?" Darien asked.
Raye shook her head.
"No, that's wrong. Ami told me time flows faster in the Digital World."
"Not on the edges. Time flows slower than normal time here," I pointed out.
"That can't be true," Darien said, shaking his head in disbelief.
I glared at him.
"Are you saying I'm lying?"
"No, we're just saying that if that was true, Ami would have told us," Raye said.
I sighed in exasperation.
"Listen, would you dare deny the knowledge and the word of a Digi-Destined if they told you this?"
Raye and Darien shook their heads no.
"I'd belive them," Raye said.
I sighed again.
"Then why don't you believe me?"
Raye and Darien were taken aback.
Izzie~
"PAJESOMON, YOU IDIOT! WHERE ARE WE GOING?" I yelled after the little dog.
All of a sudden she stopped running, and I had to apply the brakes to my feet to avoid stepping on her. Ken hit me from behind with a little "Ow." Joe in return hit him from behind and we all fell.
As we stood up, I glared at the little dog.
"What was that for?" I asked.
She sniffed the air.
"We're almost there. In fact..."
She trapsed off among the bushes, and we followed along behind. When we were clear of the whipping branches, we all gasped.
In front of us stood a huge, black castle. The turrets and towers reached beyond the sky, and the walls were almost as high. Above the gate hung a sign that said:
The Evil-Digi Castle
Ken laughed to himself.
"Could they be, anymore obvious?"
I rolled my eyes in agreement. Joe tapped my shoulder from behind.
"What Joe?" I asked.
"Um...Izzie..."
"Joe, what?"
"Uh...Sora, TK and Kari are missing."
I swung around. He was right, they were gone. I sighed and shook my head.
"Damn, how are we going to infiltrate the fort now?"
Pajesomon looked at me.
"Send them back to look for them, you and I will go."
"Are you sure?" I asked.
Pajesomon nodded. I turned around to look at Joe and Ken. They nodded and waved goodbye, heading back into the darkness of the woods.
I turned back to Pajesomon, who nodded and we started creeping towards the castle, using all our stealth training (What the heck? Stealth training? Good one Erin...).
We were near the gate, which a guard was protecting. I looked to Pajesomon hoping she'd have some sort of plan ready, but instead she closed her eyes.
A second and a rush of wind later, I stared at Pajesomon wide eyed. She smiled at me and trotted off, leaving me in shock. Pajesomon had somehow gotten us into the castle.
Davis~
I was sitting in the corner of the jail cell, my hands over my ears- rocking back and forth on my knees. The little pink haired girl hadn't shut up since I got in there, despite what the cat had said...yes...the cat could talk too.
"And when I transform, I become Sailor Mini Moon!" the little girl said.
"We know Rini," responded the cat automatically.
"I help my mama fight!"
"We know Rini,"
"And I have lots of attacks such as..."
I couldn't take it anymore.
"Rini, I KNOW!"
The twelve year old stared at me with innocent amber eyes. Then she got all huffy and turned away.
"Fine."
Artemis, the cat, and I sighed. It was already a long night. When would the day come?
"Rini, I'm sorry. Friends?" I asked.
She turned back to me, and smiled.
"Friends!"
There was a tap on the cell bars, and a low whisper.
"Davis?"
I jumped up and walked to the bars.
"Izzie? Is that you? Why are you here? How did you get here?"
The jail cell door flew open and Izzie was standing there.
"Davis, no time to explain. Just get out of here right now, before they capture you."
I nodded gravely and grabbed Rini's hand, Artemis on her shoulder. I drug her off the floor and flew down the hall.
We ran hard and long, until we came to a dead end, with a huge computer panel wall.
"Dammit," I muttered. Then a huge red button caught my eye. I glanced at Rini, she was staring at it too.
"Push it," I muttered.
"No, you," she muttered back.
Quickly I grabbed her hand and pressed the button with it.
"Teamwork!" I yelled triumphantly, as a voice overhead said,
"Five minutes until self-destruction."
"YOU IDIOTS! YOU PRESSED THE BUTTON TO BLOW THIS PLACE UP!" Artemis yelled.
Rini and I screamed and ran back down the hall hand in hand. As we turned a corner, a huge dinosaur Digimon cut us off. He roared at us and made us step back a bit.
I threw myself infront of Rini, and the Digimon growled at me. I could feel his hot breath on my face, so I closed my eyes, waiting for certain pain, when-
"FIRE ROCKET!"
I heard a whine of defeat and looked up. Flamedramon was staring at me, the huge monster laying behind him.
"Davis! Jump on!" he yelled.
I threw Rini onto his back then scrambled up behind her. Flamedramon dashed through the castle as fast as the speed of light.
When we were outside, approaching the gate, Sora, TK, Kari, Ken, Joe, Patamon and Gatomon flew past us.
"NO! Come back!" I yelled.
"Why?" Sora yelled back.
"It's gunna blow!" I shouted. After a second of hesitation, they all came dashing after us, panting to keep up. We heard the voice behind us say,
"One minute until self-destruction."
"Flamedramon! The only way we'll survive the blast is if we get a gate here and now! Is there one near us?"
"There is, but its back the other way! It would be too late!" he yelled back.
I sighed, then stared at Rini. She was doing something really weird. She was holding a key from a chain on her neck outstretched towards the sky.
"Pluto! Please! Help us!" she yelled.
All of a sudden, a gate appeared infront of us. I had no idea where it came from, but all eleven of us dashed inside to safety.
I turned back and glanced at the dark castle. I heard rumbling sounds, and many screams. It blew up in a huge ball of fire, just as the gate closed and took us back to the school's computer room.
