Elements :: Chapter 3 :: Down Below…
"Dar-Ku-Mon!" shouted Kuroi, "Hurry up and teleport! C'mon, already, make it snappy; I don't have all day!"
"Patience is a virtue! Just wait! I'm trying to find where they are located," his eyes were squeezed tight together, while his mind searched carefully around Game, "Ah! Wait! I've found them!"
"YES!" Kuroi threw her arms in the air, "Where?"
Darkumon hesitated for a moment, "…hmm…to the looks of it, Unknown."
"Huh? What do you mean unknown?!"
"Unknown, the place you idiot!"
"Shut up!"
Darkumon opened his eyes, "Ok are you ready?"
"Of…course!"
They nodded then closed their eyes in a synchronized manner, and imagined in their minds Unknown. Silence had rested over them, as they thought in great concentration. Kuroi put her had against her chest, feeling her heart slow down from her racing pace. Leaves rustled about, as the wind once again had started to blow, and they slowly disappeared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"ACk!!! What the heck was that!!??" Ryan had fallen from the hole in a ceiling of a place unknown to him. He started to search around for his glasses, which had fallen off, suddenly they had then fallen out of the hole and bounced off of his head, "Ow! Huh? Oh," he slipped them back on carefully, "Ah!" he glanced around, 'I wonder where I am…' He sat on the cold glassy floor and thought for a moment, talking to himself, "The pressure of the water happened so fast, I mean really, it was like I was just up there, 3 seconds ago," he glanced around, "and the water…it's just staying up inside that hole I just fell out of; In fact…Woooww…there's a lot of holes in the ceiling besides mine," he shrugged, "Sneh, Oh well at least I'm living!" His voice had brightened. He then jumped to his feet happily and started to stroll along.
'I wonder where Kris and Greg are…' He thought to himself, staring off to the side, "Hmmm…Empty places are so boring."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ahhh!" Greg had fallen from the hole in the ceiling. He felt dizzy as he just sat there for a moment. He then put his hand over the back of his neck as he slowly stood up. He stared down at the ground as his visions cleared up into one picture instead of many, "What…was that?" he carefully looked around, though each side were white and exactly the same, causing himself to become even more dizzy than before. He quickly looked back down at the ground. Still staring at his feet he started to walk, into the foggy white.
Suddenly Greg heard a scream in the distance, "Ahk!" His eyes widened as he slowly looked up, slightly taking his hand off his neck, "Tsu…Tsujimura?"
"Aie…ya, jeez, what was that?" she murmured to herself. She then decided to slowly stand up, pushing her legs so she was crouched then jumping up.
"Tsujimura? Kris? Is that you?" he started to run towards her.
"Huh?" She turned her head and glanced up, "Ah! Hiya!!!" She waved cheerfully.
Greg slowed down his running momentum as he came close to a stop in front of her, "I was just thrown down here too," he smiled softly with a bit of doubt, "I know you don't know this, but where are we?"
"I don't know…" She stared at the white fog that could be leading to anywhere next to Greg, who was staring the same direction. He then nodded with agreement as Kris picked up her backpack which had fallen after her, and swung in over her shoulder, then slipped on the other strap. She adjusted it a bit for comfort, "Um…so where do we go now…?" They both continued to stare off into the distance.
"And you're asking me?" Greg said sarcastically, "I guess we should just try and look for the rest of the team."
"mm..okay."
Nothing but silence emerged from them as they strolled along.
"So you like the draw, ne?" Greg broke the quietness.
"Hmm? Yeah, why?" asked Kris.
"My mom used to draw a lot too," he hesitated, "I mean my real mom."
"Huh? Wait what do you mean?"
"I…Well I was adopted," he said quickly, 'I can't believe I just said that,' he thought to himself.
"Oh…Sorry about that."
"mmm…it's ok. But you're so quiet!" He smiled with a tint of joke.
"Yeah, that's what everyone says," she looked down, "I'm usually shy at first, but once I get to know the person, I feel more comfortable around them, and I let myself out of my little bubble."
"Oh I see…well then I hope we can be friends, ne?"
"Huh?" she looked up and grinned, "O-k!" she made a thumbs up sign.
Greg took a glance at her and tried to hide his smile, "Ok."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Naomi slowly began to appear from her disappearance with the rest of the children, Andy, Sean, and Lily; though she wasn't in the same place as she was before.
"What…was that?" asked Lily.
"I don't know…" replied Naomi, "but at least it helped us get to the place at least we think where they are, "'Cause see, look, there's holes on top of us."
"Eh…that water is like a big block, it's not even flowing out or anything…" Andy observed, pointing to one of the holes.
"Aie…All I can actually see that is solid is us, the ceiling, and the floor," said Lily, "No sides; nothing. Just white"
"yeah," muttered Andy, "So what do we do now?"
"I don't know. I guess we should just walk and hope to find them. I mean really, we don't have a clue where we are, or what we are suppose to do," said Naomi.
"This is the void called 'Unknown,'" Keokimon spoke up. Everyone turned to face him, "Don't know much about this place. In fact, not many people do. Uh huh Uh huh," he agreed with himself.
"Well that explains why it's so empty," said Lily, "It's a void."
"'Named it well," commented Andy, he glanced around.
Naomi nodded.
Andy turned back to the group, "Let's go."
They started to move along slowly, and cautiously.
"You know, this really reminds me of that desert, remember," mentioned Lily. She twirled a couple of strands of her blue hair around her finger. She then dropped her strands in exasperation.
Andy smirked, "yeah you got a point."
"This is so boring," murmured Naomi.
"WHAAATTZUP Y'all!" A shadow appeared from the distance.
"Huh?" said Andy. He then turned whatever it was.
"Tsk! Well what do you know, it's Ryan!" Naomi smiled.
"Hey..!" he slowed down his momentum to a stop. Suddenly he formed the peace sign with his fingers," Love and Peeeaaaccee! Love and Peeeaaacce!" (author note: Trigun!) he moved his arm back and forth with a huge smile on his face.
"HUH???" The small group said to him.
"Whoa…random…" commented Lily.
"mmm…well…that was easy…now all we have to find is Greg and Kris," said Andy.
"Yeah!" shouted Ryan.
Sean glanced behind him suspiciously. He still felt as if he were being watched.
"Sean…Sean?"
'Huh??' Sean thought to himself; he turned around to the face of Naomi; he then said out loud, "What?"
"Is…something wrong?" her voice lowered, "Besides…"
"Noth—" he then changed his mind, "mmm…I have a feeling that there is someone following us."
"No way!" said Andy with great concern, he then turned to Naomi and Sean, "I thought that too! But every time I look behind me there is nothing there."
Keokimon was unusually quiet. His eyes were very serious.
Andy stared at him blankly, "Uh…Keokimon?"
"I can feel some sort of energy around here somewhere. I can't pin-point it because it is so fast, almost as if it's not there."
Lily whispered in Ryan's ear, "He's starting to scare me."
"Ooh…yeah…Keo's serious," he replied.
'Keokimon? Keokimon?' Andy said in his mind. Suddenly he had a strange feeling as his eyes widened. He can see things in his head that are the same as the small monster's mind, hearing every thought 'Ah! What…?'
He could sense the energy flying closer and closer to them, in a zig-zag form. It was coming from behind them. He stayed focused on it as he stood silent.
"Uhg…I think I'm getting sick of all the silence stuff," murmured Lily.
The monster was running closing. Andy had never seen such agility. Gradually the vision of the running streak was more visible. The monster then started to run in a straight fashion instead of a zig-zag. Andy's eye's widened, the monster was about to leap, "Ah! Get down!" he shouted causing the whole group drop to the floor including himself, some silently screamed as he said those words since it was so sudden, though they were all clueless at what was happening. A sound and feeling of strong energy drifted swiftly over them.
Andy glanced to the side as he slowly stood back up. The monster, who was once invisible, appeared to the naked eye.
"Whoa what was that?" said Ryan as he jumped to his feet.
The monster then began to leap once again.
"Well, whatever it is it's coming back for more!" replied Andy. The children started to run for their lives.
"You know, I wish we could fight this monster and defeat it instead of wasting our energy on running," said Andy as he ran.
"We could," said Keokimon, "And…we will!" Suddenly the small blob started towards the monster.
"Huh???" Andy stared blank at first, then he suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around shouting, "KEOKIMON YOU IDIOT, WHAT, YOU WANT TO KILL YOURSELF; GET BACK HERE!!!!!!!" He then darted towards Keokimon, "HEY DON'T YOU REMEMBER LAST TIME??!" he then mumbled to himself, "Geez out of all of the happy little monsters, I get this really spontaneous one that is always jumping into a suicidal game."
"If you believe I can defeat him, I will!" Keokimon shouted back.
"What the he- huh…?" Andy stopped his whole running momentum from going any farther.
"Andy what are you doing?!" shouted Naomi,
"Hold up," said Sean quietly he had not continued to run either.
"Huh?" she then noticed Keokimon, "What's up?" she stopped along with the rest of the gang.
The monster was now in a ready to fight position as it hissed at Keokimon, "Are you ready to die?"
"That is a question I should be asking you," replied Keokimon, "BUBBLE BLOW!"
"BLUE MAGMA!" shouted the monster.
"BUBBLE BLOW!" shouted Keokimon once again, hoping the attack would set off the opponent's attack, though it had failed.
"Ke…Keokimon!!!!!" Andy started to run but stopped himself.
"Ah…!" said Naomi, "Oh no."
"Keo…" mumbled Ryan, sorrowfully.
"No Keokimon! Don't…don't leave us now!!!!" shouted Andy, "Keokimon!!!"
Suddenly a bright light shifted around Keokimon's body.
"Whoa what's going on," Asked Lily.
"I don't know…" said Naomi.
"Keokimon, Digital Evolution! Keokimon evolve to…Tenichimon!" said Keokimon as he was evolving in the little ball of light inside. The light broke and out came a small white dragon with large wings.
The children stared at the miracle with wonder and amazement.
Andy looked up at Tenichimon, who was floating the air, 'Te…Tenichimon," he said slowly. He then brought up a large smile of ambition and confidence as he shouted, "Yeah Tenichimon!!!!" He jumped as he threw a fist in the air though two fingers lazily popped up signifying 'peace' with the back of the hand facing Tenichimon.
"Blue Magma!" shouted the enemy once again.
Using his agility, Tenichimon ducked under the attack and started and began his own.
"Bouncing…rice balls!"
Millions of balls of rice shot out of nowhere like the speed of light and smashed into the monster. Critical Hit! The enemy hissed in painfulness.
Although, Ryan had burst out laughing hysterically saying, "Bouncing rice balls? What kind of attack is that?!" He held his chest, he was laughing so hard.
Andy had stared in a 'ok…weird…" kind of way, he then, falling slowly but casually to his butt, he couldn't help it but laugh out loud.
"Awwh…you guyyyyz!" Said an irritated Tenichimon, "Shut up!!!" he then ducked another attack.
"Bouncing rice balls!"
The monster was slightly weak, and before she could strike another attack, Tenichimon tackled her with his head full force. The monster was finally down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The two 11 year olds walked peacefully through Unknown. Suddenly they had heard the shout of their comrades.
"Huh?" He as well as Kris looked over to right. Greg then said brightly. "Hey that's them!"
"Yay!" said Kris, "let's go!"
"Victory is mine!!!!" shouted Tenichimon, "My attack sounds stupid, but it has the power of a champion! So ha!"
Andy took a deep sigh as he calmed himself down from the laughing, "Alright, Keo—I mean Tenichimon! You're the best, I gotta admit."
"You guys!" a young boy's voice echoed.
"Hey well what do you know, it's Kris and Greg!" Naomi said happily.
"A'aight!" (author note: That is just some saying that most of the boys in my 6th Grade said, so I decided to add it in cuz it was funnyish...yeah. Tis copyrighted (well not really, just they made it up.) to them.) said Ryan, making a sort of looping sound as he said it. He figured his hand into the thumbs up sign.
"Huh? Wait you guys look at that…" said Lily.
Black smoke type figure came from the enemy's body as it lay still forming a ghostly face as it flowed out and slowly disintegrated into thin air.
"It's…a…dark spirit," said Naomi in a whispery tone of voice.
"Awh don't worry, that monster will be only out for a few hours. It can't die if it has a dark spirit within. When the spirit is defeated it will fly out and die. The body won't, though it may be out for a few hours or days, depending on how much the dark spirit had taken over," said Tenichimon, "Yup, that's the way it is."
"Oh I see."
Tenichimon brightened, "At least we saved its butt!"
"Yeah!" everyone shouted in their own ways.
"And no evil can stop us!" said Tenichimon
"Yeah!"
"'Cause who are we?' said Tenichimon
The children shouted back, "The Elements!"
"Oh yeah!" shouted Ryan alone.
Suddenly a bright flash of light flickered in front of them, causing them to hover their hand over their eyes.
"Huh? Hey what's happening?" mumbled Greg in a serene voice.
"What the—"Said Sean.
The light then formed a circle leading to a small temple.
"Who's house is that?" asked Andy.
"Not a clue," said Naomi.
The light then disappeared and only surrounded the border of the oval. The temple looked a like a small pagoda from Ancient China.
"Wow that really amazing," said Kris, "Maybe it's the Temple of Life."
"Uh huh. Yeah," said Lily.
"Shall we…?" asked Naomi.
"Don't know," replied Andy.
They then stepped into the oval of light with caution, one by one, and started up the very few stairs. The oval had closed up as they stared at the door, afraid to open it.
"This is a really small little temple. 'Kind of shabby looking, ne?" mentioned Ryan as he glanced around carefully.
"Yeah," replied Greg, "You're right. I'm not really sure if this is the temple we are looking for. For one, all we had said was that we are the Elements and it suddenly pops out of no where. You know?"
"You're right," said a confused Andy.
Kris spoke up, "Yeah, but like you said," she faced Greg, "It appeared right after the fact that we accepted ourselves to be the Elements. You know, when we Tenichimon said, 'Cause who are we?' and we replied 'The Elements.'"
"Is it coincidence?" asked Naomi, "Or the real thing?"
"I don't know who owns or what this temple or house is," said Tenichimon, "I've never seen any house or temple that looked like this."
"Well we'll never find out if we don't go inside…" said Andy, he then slowly opened the door an inch, Some of the children held their breath though stayed calm. Andy then opened it one more inch, and softly and cautiously opened the door wide enough to walk in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One white pawn silently moved itself up two spaces across a chess board.
The sudden movement caught someone's eye, as he gestured himself to turn around. He stared at it with concentration.
"…the first move…"
There was a silence until, "Master!" A figure in a long raggedy robe that covered its whole body stood by an overly large doorway leading to a long hallway that echoed; The figure's voice sounded like a hissing sound "The Elements, they have found the Temple of Life."
The child stared with his sad eyes at the chess board for a short while, breathing out of his nose, "Then shall the games begin…" And taking a black pawn, he neatly placed it diagonal to the pawn in white.
"Dar-Ku-Mon!" shouted Kuroi, "Hurry up and teleport! C'mon, already, make it snappy; I don't have all day!"
"Patience is a virtue! Just wait! I'm trying to find where they are located," his eyes were squeezed tight together, while his mind searched carefully around Game, "Ah! Wait! I've found them!"
"YES!" Kuroi threw her arms in the air, "Where?"
Darkumon hesitated for a moment, "…hmm…to the looks of it, Unknown."
"Huh? What do you mean unknown?!"
"Unknown, the place you idiot!"
"Shut up!"
Darkumon opened his eyes, "Ok are you ready?"
"Of…course!"
They nodded then closed their eyes in a synchronized manner, and imagined in their minds Unknown. Silence had rested over them, as they thought in great concentration. Kuroi put her had against her chest, feeling her heart slow down from her racing pace. Leaves rustled about, as the wind once again had started to blow, and they slowly disappeared.

"ACk!!! What the heck was that!!??" Ryan had fallen from the hole in a ceiling of a place unknown to him. He started to search around for his glasses, which had fallen off, suddenly they had then fallen out of the hole and bounced off of his head, "Ow! Huh? Oh," he slipped them back on carefully, "Ah!" he glanced around, 'I wonder where I am…' He sat on the cold glassy floor and thought for a moment, talking to himself, "The pressure of the water happened so fast, I mean really, it was like I was just up there, 3 seconds ago," he glanced around, "and the water…it's just staying up inside that hole I just fell out of; In fact…Woooww…there's a lot of holes in the ceiling besides mine," he shrugged, "Sneh, Oh well at least I'm living!" His voice had brightened. He then jumped to his feet happily and started to stroll along.
'I wonder where Kris and Greg are…' He thought to himself, staring off to the side, "Hmmm…Empty places are so boring."

"I…Well I was adopted," he said quickly, 'I can't believe I just said that,' he thought to himself.

"Oh I see…well then I hope we can be friends, ne?"

They then stepped into the oval of light with caution, one by one, and started up the very few stairs. The oval had closed up as they stared at the door, afraid to open it.
"This is a really small little temple. 'Kind of shabby looking, ne?" mentioned Ryan as he glanced around carefully.
"Yeah," replied Greg, "You're right. I'm not really sure if this is the temple we are looking for. For one, all we had said was that we are the Elements and it suddenly pops out of no where. You know?"
"You're right," said a confused Andy.
Kris spoke up, "Yeah, but like you said," she faced Greg, "It appeared right after the fact that we accepted ourselves to be the Elements. You know, when we Tenichimon said, 'Cause who are we?' and we replied 'The Elements.'"
"Is it coincidence?" asked Naomi, "Or the real thing?"
"I don't know who owns or what this temple or house is," said Tenichimon, "I've never seen any house or temple that looked like this."
"Well we'll never find out if we don't go inside…" said Andy, he then slowly opened the door an inch, Some of the children held their breath though stayed calm. Andy then opened it one more inch, and softly and cautiously opened the door wide enough to walk in.

One white pawn silently moved itself up two spaces across a chess board.
The sudden movement caught someone's eye, as he gestured himself to turn around. He stared at it with concentration.
"…the first move…"
There was a silence until, "Master!" A figure in a long raggedy robe that covered its whole body stood by an overly large doorway leading to a long hallway that echoed; The figure's voice sounded like a hissing sound "The Elements, they have found the Temple of Life."
The child stared with his sad eyes at the chess board for a short while, breathing out of his nose, "Then shall the games begin…" And taking a black pawn, he neatly placed it diagonal to the pawn in white.
