Crystals

Hi! Carscard here again! This is the English version of Una Aventura con la TecnologĂ­a, la Magia y el Misticismo de Todos los Pueblos.

Digimon isn't mine; Card Captors Sakura and Magic Knight Rayearth are of Clamp; and The Rin is my invention.

I'm sorry! I delayed again! But I got team partners and a project (which I had to translate and took me a lot of time)!

AN ADVENTURE WITH THE TECNOLOGY, THE MAGIC AND EVERY NATION MYSTICISM

Chapter 5: "Crystals"

They didn't believed that they was seeing. That place was huge and there was light. It was a city of buildings without culture. They seemed like many cultures like and noone like in same time.

The air was fresh, pure and nice and there was a lot of plants. In the "ceiling" there were huge crystals like stalactites.

They walked through the streets following little Ton. They didn't see any soul in all the place. It was like that all of those buildings were ready for being inhabited but nobody was going to live in them.

-Why's this so solitary?!- Mimi asked.

-Solitary?!- Ton exclaimed sorprised. -Since I can remember, it always has been like this!

-Do you mean that nobody else live in this place?!- Mrs. Izumi asked amazed.

-Yeah. I don't understand what's weird in it. Maybe I would know it if I undestood what happened with the rest of The Rin's people.

-Don't you know it?!

-No, I don't. My brother hasn't wanted to tell me that, yet. I just know the things that he taught me.

-What happened with your parents?- Mrs. Kamiya asked. -Do you have any relatives?

-I don't have any idea. I just know that I'm the fifth and the youngest child of my parents. Gen knows about them, my other 3 brothers and my relatives but he doesn't want to talk me about all of them and I don't know why.

-Where are you taking us at?- Mr. Tachikawa said.

-To my home. If you didn't like that, I could take you to other place.

-We just wanted to know what's happening.- Mrs. Izumi continued.

-How long is that?- Kari asked after that she didn't have said anything in so many time (in fact since first chapter).

-A couple of kilometers.- The two years aged boy answered. -It's in a end of the city.

-I'm so tired!- Mimi yelled. -Can't we rest a little?

-Fine!- He replied sitting down on the ground.

All of them did the same action. They had run a lot before entering in The Rin and they was moving with difficulty.

After the break, Ton led them his home which was, literally, at the end of the city. It was the farest one. They came in the house. It looked very comfortable. They surprised because of lack of family's photos and for cleanliness in a house where only two boys lived in.

They took care on Tomoyo's wound, which wasn't deep. They looked for and found a sort of power suply and a phone line. They connected the PC and didn't wait a lot for seeing Izzy in the screen again.

-Are all of you OK?- Izzy asked trying for controlling himself because he was wrong in his supposition.

-Of course!- Tai exclaimed happily. -This is a very comfortable place!

-It's nice to hear that. Tai...

-Yeah?

-Could you type everything that you see...?

-Don't worry! We'll do that, Izzy! You can't avoid to feel curiousity, can you?!

-Y-you're right.- He answered and slightly blushed.

-Where's Sakura?- Tomoyo asked standing at the digidestined of Courage's side.

-She went with Nea for walking around. She needs to rest for training tomorrow.

-I see.

-Tomoyo, since you're here, I think that there is something that we must continue. And Tai should be aware about it.

-What are you talking about?!

Sakura and Nea were walking when they heard some voices behind pilars. They hid behind those and saw that Empress Asuka was talking with Geo, Zaz and Lira.

-You can't be talking about it seriously!- The oldman expressed his opinion.

-I know that it seems odd but I'm saying the true. I'm serious with that.- The Empress answered.

-How is it possible?- Zaz continued. -Did your warrior defeat his opponents using a common wooden bo? Where's the representative weapon?

-He doesn't want to use it.

-What?!- Lira exclaimed.

-I know that it doesn't have any sense but it's the true. We've tried to convince him but he continues refusing.

-It could put our planets in danger!- Zaz continued.

-I understand our situation. We're trying to convince him.

They continued talking but Nea and Sakura walked away and talked about that conversation.

Meanwhile, Prince Yu was reading a scroll when he heard that Gen started to move uneasily on the bed.

-Be... careful!!- He was screaming. -Bin!! Dad!! Nun!! Mom!! DAN!!!!!!!

-Wake up, Gen!!- Yu tried to calm him down. -Wake up!!

It didn't take a lot waking up Gen. He sat down on the bed with an afraid expresion in his face.

-Are you alright?- Asuka's son asked.

-Yes, I am. Thanks.- He answered putting his right hand on his forehead. -I'm sorry.

-You shouldn't worry about that. Whatever you dreamed, I guess, was terrible.

Gen looked at him moving his hand with a sad face. His friend undestood that it didn't have been just a dream.

Izzy and his friends were talking.

-What are we going to do now?- Matt asked.

-It depends on Gen's health.- The digidestined of Knowledge gave his opinion. -In addition, it won't be easy since you'll only have Gomamon's powers when we'll be busy.

-What are you talking about?- Sakura asked as she arrived with Nea.

-About how we'll save all of the rest of Odaiba's people.

-Is that possible?- Nea asked no knowing what Odaiba was.

-If you were disposed...- Farem's warrior told them. -...For running to danger for saving people, you could do it.

-Won't you faint again?- This time Sora asked worried. -Obviously it takes a lot of your energy.

-I don't know. It depends how long I have to move it. Opening and closing it aren't a problem. However, It'll get me tired and, probably, I'll fall asleep since that tecnique is too advanced for my age.

-Doesn't that mean that you couldn't fight then?- Sakura said thinking about it.

-Yes, it does. I'm just 8 years old and, even for my blood's people, it would make difficult for doing that. Sorry.

-Bua!!- Ton cried. -If I was stronger you wouldn't be in pain!! Bua!!

-T-Ton...- His brother's voice trembled, he deviated his glance from the screen for a moment, gulped and recovered strenght. -Take it easy. Don't blame yourself for something like that... It i-isn't your fault, neither mine.

It was so obvious that Gen wasn't very good encouraging but, if Ton needed it, he would give an extra effort. Kari and T. K. approached to the little one.

-Come on, you have to cheer up yourself!- Matt's brother exclaimed.

-Yeah, trust on your brother!- Tai's sister added.

It didn't take Ton a lot accepting that they were right and he smiled. After all, he always was faster encouraging himself than his older brother.

-We've found a problem.- Tai started to say. -Using all of the methods that we know makes us totally dependent for conection, doesn't it?

-I understand what you're telling us.- Autozam's warrior answered. -If there was a way that made our digimon partners or the Clow cards helpful without us, it would be easier.

-Actually there is a way.- Gen said. -They have powers, don't they?

-Yes, they do.- The digidestined and Sakura nodded.

-In the farest place inside The Rin there are crystals, which were discovered by the Great Cell Seth long centuries ago, that can contain a power inside. Of course it'll slowly get weaker but is for using not for time.

-Does that mean that we could use our digimons' powers?!- Tai asked a little excited.

-Yes, it does. So you won't depend on us.

-Good! Where are they?!

-Just go through a graveyard nearby, using the main street. It'll take you to a sort of forest. Go ahead on the road until you get at a waterfall. There, the water is still before the river continues its way. The crystals are under the still waters. You won't have any problems getting them.

-Let's go, then! I don't think that all of us have to go. Who's going with me?!

-Me!- Sora raised her hand.

-Me too!- Matt said giving a step forward.

-I believe that we're enough. Let's go!- Tai exclaimed.

They were going to go out when his mother said...

-Where do you think to go to?! I'm going with you!

-Mom?!- Digidestined's leader said surprised.

-An adult should go with you. What are you going to do if something wrong happen to you?

She had a point and go out with her. Like Gen had told them, finding the waterfall didn't take them a lot. Matt and Tai dove and took 5 crystals each one there.

Out of the water, they looked at them. They were very transparent white with a prism shape. Then they took the return way, looking around. There were a lot of unknown plants and few small animals.

They were walking throught the graveyard when they noticed something odd. The graves didn't look old. They were dusty but they looked so new. In fact, all of them seemed in same age.

They wanted to check those facts and explore, separately. They got together after some minutes.

-Tai, Matt! Come on for seeing this!- Sora said running. -They don't just seem being in same age! All of these people died at the same day two years ago!

-What?!- They exclaimed, including Mrs. Kamiya.

-How was that possible?!- Mrs. Kamiya asked.

-Look at this!- The blue helmet's girl continued.

They stood in front 5 graves, which were in a sort of special place. Their tombstones were written, from left to right: Ben Tzen, Lana Tzen, Dan Tzen, Bin Tzen y Nun Tzen.

-Something REALLY bad happend here two years ago!

To be continue.

I wish that the 5th chapter liked you. I've already told you that it has a lot of The Rin. Don't worry, next chapter won't have so much of it even if it has answers of some questions. Training's coming soon! ^_^

Next chapter will be:

Chapter 6: "Of Ribbons, Stars and other Problems"
