ONLY ONE ROAD
Same old, same old routine.
Part Four
"JERI!" Takato called out, feeling his voice begin to go harsh after twenty minutes of yelling. He coughed, cleared his throat and looked down at the two hundred meter wide trail that the data-stream Kazu saw had left in the sand. "Jeri!"
"You might as well stop yelling, Takato," Henry said finally, his first words since they had left their arrival point to look for Jeri. "I doubt that she is anywhere around here."
"Then where is she, Henry?" Takato said angrily, balling his hands into fists at his sides. "She can't be far, can she?"
"If she was sucked up by that data-stream, she could be anywhere!" Kazu said, earning a stern look from Takato.
"She was NOT taken by a data-stream!" Takato yelled and also received a stern look from Henry.
"You never know in this world, Takato,"Henry said calmly. "In the Digital World, anything can happen. And you know that better than any of us."
Takato only nodded and called for Jeri again, walking ahead of Henry and Kazu.
"Hey, Henry, what are the odds that we will find Jeri safe and sound? I mean, for all we know, she could be residing in some palace singing karaoke to a sleeping digimon and wearing pretty princess dresses and demanding exotic foods and drink, right?"
Henry gave Kazu a You-have-seen-one-too-many-digimon-episodes look and shook his head.
"What are the odds that we will find our partners then?" Kazu continued, trying to block out Takato's calls to Jeri.
"I don't know, Kazu. They could be anywhere in the Digital World."
"Just like Jeri," Kazu put in.
"You had to remind me." Henry muttered. "But, I have a pretty good idea of where Guardromon is, though."
Kazu brightened at this bit of news. "Where is that?"
"Well, in 01 and 02, the Guardromon were mainly city dwellers, were they not? They are Machine-type digimon and thus it stands to reason that they would stick close to anything remotely like them.what better place than a city full of electronics?" Kazu almost jumped for joy at hearing this, but caught himself. "Yes, but the last time we were here, we did not see any type of cities, did we? The only thing that came even close to a city was that town where we stayed the night after Ryo, Kanta and I hooked up with you, Jeri and Takato.Remember Knightmon.?" Kazu shuddered, thinking back to the warning Ryo had given him about what would happen if you messed with a Knightmon.
"At least we know where one of our friends would be residing, Kazu. Don't dampen my spirits any more than they already are."
"Geezer, what is it with everyone today? All I am trying to do is add a little reality to the situation, and-" Kazu was cut off by the sound of a high pitched noise that grew louder by the second. He looked behind him and stared at the data-stream headed their way. "We have company!" He yelled a warning to Takato, whom turned around to see what was going on.
"Run!" Henry yelled and the three Tamers raced across the desert, as fast as their feet could take them.
"This is not my day!" Kazu shouted and Henry and Takato turned while still running to see Kazu being sucked up into the data-stream.
"Let it get you, Takato!" Henry yelled as he slid to a stop.
"Are you crazy?" Takato yelled back, still running.
"We can't afford to split up any further, Takato! This way we will still be toge-" His last words were cut off as the data-stream destabilised in front of him and the digital nodes forming it dispersed, and the data- stream vanished in a shrill sound like two cats in a fight.
"This is not happening!" Kazu screamed as he flew through the giant swirls of the data-stream, towards a destination that would either be safe or extremely dangerous. "Why do I have all the bad luck?"
The data-stream released him and he fell to the ground and had the breath knocked out of him. As he sat up and struggled to breath, he also flung the backpack he was carrying onto the ground a meter away and gasped for breath for several minutes before glancing around at where the stream had placed him. He was in an extremely well lit forest, despite the canopy of the trees being thick overhead and he wondered how much weirder the Digital World could get.
A flurry of movement from a nearby set of bushes made Kazu jump a little and he slowly stood up and stood in a karate stance, trying to look his best at being unafraid and in control of the situation. He knew he was failing miserably.
"I know karate!" Kazu yelled, voice shaking slightly. "You had best stay away from me if you do not want to get hurt!"
The bushes shook slightly and a small pink head, about the size of two fifty-cent coins appeared. Kazu squinted to see the little digimon then broke out in a grin.
"Dude!"
"Hello again!" Said the little pink digimon and it flew out of the bush on tiny wings and flew into Kazu's open arms.
"It is so good to see you, Marineangemon!"
