*Hi again everyone. Just one question...was the last part a bit TOO unrealistic with the news casts that were going on? I thought it was too long to be honest with you...oh well, that's just the way my imagination works is all.(^^); As always, I do not own any of these characters or places normally associated with the game, show, manga, etc.*

Part 12: The Unexpected Trip!

Each Chosen Child found themselves going through the weird vortex that had taken them and it was like they were going through a tunnel of time. It was like they were going through the eye of it since the winds were now blowing around them. No one knew of the other kids' being there, except for the ones they were with. It was somewhat dark in this strange tunnel, just not entirely, and each child called out to someone...

"Michael, Michael, where are you," Mimi shouted out in a frightened tone. "MICHAEL!!!"
*****
"Miyako-kun! Miyako-kun," Koushirou called out. "My gosh, what if something bad has happened to her!" He then called out for her once again, his voice echoing out.
*****
"Hikari, answer me," Takeru called out. "Hikari," his voice echoed.
*****
"Ken, are you there buddy?"

Daisuke didn't get an answer.

"Ken, where are you!"
*****
"Sora, where are you," Taichi called out. "SORA!!" he shouted out again, his voice echoing.
*****
"Taichi, Sora," Yamato called out in confusion. "You guys there?"
*****
"Eiji-san, Eiji-san, where are you!!" Iori called out in worry. "Are you okay!! Eiji-san!!"
*****
Each kid then noticed that a part of them were glowing...
*****
"What's happening," Miyako wondered out aloud, looking down. "My chest, it's glowing..."
*****
'My heart,' Iori noticed, 'it is glowing and it is forming a strange shape; two shapes to be exact, but now it is forming into one...'
*****
'I know what this is...' Sora started.
*****
'...it's my crest within my heart,' Jou finished, holding his hand over his heart.
*****
'It's my Crest of Kindness!'
*****
"It's like I have a crest inside of my heart, but I've never had a crest," Miyako stated.
*****
"My old Crest of Purity is lighting my way," Mimi said.
*****
"But what is it leading me to?" Koushirou wondered out aloud.
*****
"Could this be leading me to someone," Hikari asked, "or someplace?"
*****
The light that was glowing from them was indeed leading them to something, or someone, and each child was starting to see one another...
*****
'My old Crest of Hope is shining towards someone, but who is it?'

He squinted his eyes to see who the person was that his Crest of Hope was leading him to.

"Daisuke-kun?" Takeru asked in surprise.
*****
'What's going on and where am I going? It's so dark in here, and the only light I see is the one coming from this glow I have. What is this weird shape that's glowing on my chest? It sorta looks like that shape that was on that Golden Digimental I found a few years ago and V-mon armor evolved into Magnamon! What did Magnamon say after he evolved? Something about miracles...'

The boy thought for a moment and remembered.

'Oh, I remember now, he said, 'Kiseki no Kagayaki, Magnamon!' My chest has a glow that forms the shape on the Digimental of Miracles, but what does this mean?'

The boy then noticed that his newly formed crest was leading him to a person. He squinted to see whom it was.

"This light seems to be leading me to someone and it looks like...Hikari-chan?!?" the boy said in surprise.

*Note: Kiseki no Kagayaki, Magnamon is Magnamon's catch phrase. I don't know what he says here, I forgot, but his Japanese catch phrase translates to, "Magnamon, Shining Miracles!"*
*****
"My light seems to be leading me to someone," Hikari noted. "Maybe it will help me to find Takeru-kun. He was trapped in that weird thing just like I was."

The girl then saw someone up ahead, but she couldn't see them very well.

"Is that Takeru-kun?"

The girl shook her head and realized that it wasn't him.

"No wait, that's not Takeru-kun, that's...Daisuke-kun?"
*****
"Where are you taking me! What do you want with me!" Yamato shouted out in frustration to no one in particular. He then shouted out, a bitworried, "Sora! Answer me Sora!"

His chest started to glow in a familiar shape, his Crest of Friendship, a glow coming from, shining towards someone...

"Is that you Sora?"

He then got a better look.

"Jou?" the boy said in surprise. 'What's Jou doing here?'

"Yamato-kun?"
*****
"Why is my crest glowing if its powers are pretty much useless since its powers were used to make that seal?" Mimi asked no one in particular. "What is it leading me to?"

Her light from her crest then shined in front of her and a crest light shined back at her and she saw a very familiar face...

"Koushirou?"

"Mimi-san?"
*****
All of a sudden, each child felt as if they were going through some type of a metamorphasis or transformation...
*****
"It's like my body is changing," Koushirou observed, "but this is, of course, scientifically impossible."
*****
"This isn't happening!!!" Jou shouted in a panicky voice. "This just can't be happening to me!!"
*****
"What is happening to me," Iori said in alarm. "This isn't natural and what about Eiji-san! Is she all right wherever she is?"
*****
"What's going on!" Takeru panicked, noticing that his voice was getting higher in pitch and that his body was growing smaller. "Why in the world is my body shrinking!"
*****
A voice was then heard. The voice was gentle and angelic and none of the children feared it. It said, "Do not worry, all will be explained to you soon."

After the "transformation" process was complete, the tunnel that they all seemed to be traveling through dissappeared and each child ended up someplace...a place that would look somewhat familiar to them, if they were conscious...
