Chapter 3
The Job
The three friends walked into Tai's room and turned on the computer.
"Okay, let's go," T.K. told them. Within a matter of moments, they found themselves in the Digital World. Directly in front of them stood Gennai.
"I'm glad you could make it on such short notice. Especially since it is evening time. Have you had dinner yet?" asked Gennai.
"We were about to go on a night-time picnic when you emailed me," Kari answered.
"Well then, we'll have to get you something to eat," he said.
"Thank you," the three teens said in unison. Gennai disappeared and reappeared suddenly, now with a basket of food. As they helped themselves to some rice balls, Gennai stared into the distance expectantly. Suddenly, his face lit up as he saw a something traveling on a slightly visible rainbow.
"Aww," he sighed, "here they come now." The kids looked in the direction of his stare. A small round digimon was floating alongside a fair skinned and haired girl, who sat cross-legged. She noticed them and waved daintily. It only took a few minutes for the partners to land upon the ground.
"Greetings," the young Gennai said, almost in a solute.
"Hi," the girl answered. She sat up and followed her little digimon over to the group of people. "My name is Lorriette, and this is DemiCelestialmon."
Tai and T.K. stood there, with their mouths wide open. Kari stood in slight awe too, but she then recovered herself and walked over to the new girl. They were roughly the same age, fourteen; however, Lorriette towered above Kari by a few inches. They shook hands.
"My name is Kari. That's my brother Tai, and my friend T.K. And that guy other there is…" she was cut off.
"Gennai. I know, DemiCelestialmon told me," she smiled. She then took Kari's hand, and they walked over to the boys.
"So," T.K. asked, turning to Gennai, "why did you want Kari and me to come?"
"Ask DemiCelestialmon. I just know that part of the legend is that the Child of Hope and the Child of Light, are supposed to be a great service to the Child of All."
"The Child of All…" Tai said to himself slowly. They all turned to the little pearly digimon, who had been silent up until now.
"The legend is true. I am the Fifth Digimon Sovereign. Also is true, is that the Children of Hope and Light are the protectors of the Child of All. That is why we needed you to come," he stated in a voice that sounded very wise, yet childlike at the same time.
All of the children were silent. The news seemed rather unsettling. Finally, Tai spoke up.
"Why are they supposed to protect her? Why not someone older?"
"Actually, it is not so much protection that she requires, but advisors and friends."
"Does this mean that the three of us are supposed to stay in the Digital World?" T.K. asked.
"No, not at all. Only when your services are needed." T.K. and Kari both sighed deeply. The sun officially set, and it was now nighttime. "It is now time for sleep. If you will follow me I will take you to the palace." It started to float toward the center of the Digital World. Tai had been right, that was where the Fifth Sovereign ruled.
Tai went home to tell his parents and T.K.'s mother where their children were. The three Digidestined and the lone digimon arrived at a large castle. At the entrance, where libraries sometimes put lions, were large statues of Pegasusmon and Nefertimon. Sitting between them were Patamon and Gatomon themselves.
"Kari!" the little cat jumped into her Digidestined's arms.
"T.K.! I haven't seen you for a long time!" Patamon landed on T.K.'s head.
"It's good to see you too!" the boy said, laughing. As Kari held Gatomon tightly, she saw Lorriette looking longingly at her own digimon. She began to realize that she must not have felt any love come from it yet. Her own digimon had once wanted to hand her over to Myotismon, but she didn't hold a grudge against her.
Finally, they entered the palace. It was lit by large white candles, and the floor and walls were made of marble. In the center of the room were two large thrones, and two smaller ones on either side. Two even smaller ones were on either side of these. The children walked up to them. Each of them had a name engraved on them. There was on for each. Lorriette sat down on the large throne on the right, and DemiCelestialmon sat on her left. Kari sat next to Lorriette, and Gatomon sat next to Kari. T.K. sat next to DemiCelestialmon, and Patamon sat next to him. When they were all comfortable, the candles went out, and the thrones reclined into beds.
"You'll have to excuse the fact that there aren't any real beds," the glowing digimon whispered, "the castle was only built a few minutes ago." Its voice trailed off and the six of them were soon asleep.
The next morning, light crept in through the glass ceiling of the castle. In fact, the ceiling was made out of many glass prisms, so the light turned into many rainbows. T.K. woke up to the soft scent of lilacs, for there was a violet stream of light directly over his head. He looked up and thought to himself that he must still be asleep, especially when he noticed that he was levitating above his throne. When reality finally did set in, he gasped loudly, and dropped to the ground.
"Whoa!" he said, catching his breath, "What was that about?" Patamon, who could fly anyway, gave him a puzzled look, sat down, and stretched.
"Umm, maybe you turned into a digimon," he said, shrugging.
"Somehow, I don't think that that's what's going on," he looked around. The room was completely deserted. "Where is everyone?"
"Oh, they went to send a letter to the other Sovereigns, they'll be back in a little while. Wanna go outside and explore? There's a huge garden filled with roses. Frankly, all these rainbows are giving me a headache."
"Okay," T.K. answered, finding himself starting to rise again. The partners went out the huge doors and into the garden. Patamon was right, there were a lot of roses, along with other flowers, a maze, and a fountain. The ground felt warm, and a light breeze blew through T.K.'s hair and Patamon's fur. The little digimon perched on his digidestined's head.
"I wonder when breakfast is," the little guy yawned.
"I don't know, sounds good though," T.K. said, turning a corner in the maze; his stomach growled. As he rounded another corner, he heard voices. He started to walk toward them, but paused when he heard what they were saying.
"Is this the right turn?" A strange male voice asked.
"No, I think it's that way," another voice answered.
"So, what are our orders exactly?"
"We need to get to that castle and kill the Fifth Sovereign before he digivolves too far," he answered, "wait, what was that?" T.K. had stepped backward onto a pile of leaves.
"Get him!" the first voice shouted, running around the corner and eyeing T.K.
Excited? Yeah, me neither. Heehee. At least I got a little action started. I drew a picture of Lorriette, I like it a lot.. Well, have a nice day every digi!
