CHAPTER 8 "Nightmare Illusion!"



"Ahhh! Wishmon! Help! Stop him, Wishmon-" I screamed when Mummymon attacked me with his Snake Bandages. It was weird, Mummymon wasn't supposed to be revealed with Arukenimon so soon. He was supposed to revealed himself with Arukenimon, being a hidden Digimon, to the newer kids in the episode of when Arukenimon invited Ken, Cody, Davis, T.K., Kari, Yolei and their Digimon partners to her Giga-House in the Digital World where she planned to defeat them, controlling insect Digimon to do her bidding. It almost worked. But because of my unexpected and really un-needed arrival to aid them made by Willis's desperate and foolish decision, the future might not be the same as the remaining Digimon episodes that I've seen on television for the entire second season, and somehow, if it isn't fixed, there may not be a third season. But then again, if the Digital World and the Real World really exist, then it might not follow the scripts. Maybe the tv. show and the movies of Digimon are not the same as this. Maybe, the writers had gotten this all wrong, then again, to them, it's only fiction. No matter, I still have to help them on the side lines, anyway, it's not like I have something else to do while I'm stuck here except to find my way home, but then again, if I don't help them, I might never get back home, not even in a million years if I can survive that long.

"Annye! No!"

"Why are you just standing there, Wishmon! You're closest to Annye! Go digivolve and help her before he attacks again!" Willis yelled at her. It was too late. Because of Mummymon's attack on me, a human and not a Digimon, I had fainted onto the grass with the bandages still wrapped around me. They ran to aid, with Wishmon trying her attacks.

"Actually, Willis, it's too late. And besides, even if Annye is conscious she can't even Digivolve with two control spires over there that are stopping her," Izzy explained and pointed at them.

"Nightmare Illusion!" Wishmon yelled and focused a glowing ball of purplish-black energy that she created somehow when she was ritually moving both of her paws together. It was right on target, to Mummymon, for Mummymon fell onto the grass with his eye's lid closed, he seemed asleep. Nightmare Illusion is one of Wishmon's famous attack, I taught her myself. First, Wishmon would have to focus some of her illusion energy into a energy ball by putting both of her paws together and concentrating. When the energy is out, she would then open her paws and let go of her right grip while the energy ball remains in her left paw. Then, she would target it to her enemies. With a direct hit of Nightmare Illusion, Mummymon would be asleep, having a nightmare, but his screams and yells would be soundless except for in his nightmare until he awakes. The amount of time it takes for her enemies to awake varies. Not only do she and I share many illusion attacks, we also share our energy just like the other Digidestines, except that if I'm weak, Wishmon would have to rely on her energy instead of some of mines. For my wishes to come true, both of ours energy is needed. And part of Wishmon's existence is because of me, but part of my wishes being granted is because of Wishmon. She's the one who grants my wishes.

When Wishmon finished her attack, she rushed, joining the others around me. "Is she doing okay, guys?"

"Don't worry, Wishmon. She's just fainted, and she's breathing," Izzy said after he had checked my breathing when Wishmon was attacking Mummymon. Wishmon swiftly but carefully swiped her sharp claws of one paw at the bandages wrapped around my body like a mummy, except for the head and the neck.

Mummymon's bandages came to a tearing and floated low until they fell onto the ground in pieces. "Does she have a pulse?"

After Izzy checked, he stood up, faced her, and reassuringly answered, "Yes, she's got a pulse. Don't worry, Wishmon. She'll be just fine!" Wishmon breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who was that Digimon?" Willis asked.

"You mean the one who attacked Annye?" Wishmon asked.

"I never saw him before."

"He's Mummymon," Wishmon answered Willis and Terriermon, "he's with Arukenimon."

"Oh."

"But, enough of that, should we take Annye back into the Real World?" Wishmon asked, "Where is she going to stay?"

"We'll worry about that later. But maybe, we should let her wake up or until the others arrive to open the gate," Izzy said, "and since we're here, I'll go and find Tentomon for all of you to meet."

"No, Izzy! Come back! Don't leave, help us with Annye-" Wishmon commanded but Izzy had already vanished into the deeper part of the forest where some trees sustained their leaves, or weren't attacked.

"Don't worry, Wishmon, Willis and I are still here to help. Izzy will be back with reinforcements-"

"Annye and I don't need your help! Both of you are the reasons why she's stuck here in the first place. Before she decided to come, you should have told her about the sacrifices that she has to make, and the slim chances that she has against the evil even with her powers! She's running low on her powers, even for her. And because of Mummymon's attack on her, she's going to be worse than better-" Wishmon said and burst into tears.

"We're sorry, Wishmon," Willis said in guilt.

"But we promise to make up for it. And don't worry, we'll get her back to her world," Terriermon added.

"But, Wishmon, aren't you going to miss her-" Willis began to ask when a figure among the trees appeared with a shadow darkening a part of the ground.

"Arukenimon? What are you doing here?!" Wishmon asked angrily.

"My, my, look who I have here-Mummymon, get up! And stop sleeping on the job!" Mummymon did not respond, Wishmon's attack was most powerful on him. Because he made no movement, Arukenimon shifted her attention to us-Wishmon, Willis, Terriermon, and me.

"Answer me, Arukenimon! What are you doing here-"

"Who're you? I've never seen any of you before. And how did you know that I was Arukenimon? I don't remember telling you my name."

"She's a Digimon? She looks more like a human. But he doesn't," Willis stated.

"Of course she's a Digimon. Annye and I know about her and Mummymon, and her plans."

"Annye? Digimon-Wishmon. You're with the prophecy," Arukenimon thought.

"She's transforming. She's really a Digimon, Willis. You were right, Wishmon," Terriermon replied when Arukenimon revealed herself. Because of this, they shifted their main attention from me to Arukenimon.

"Since you know my plans, Kitty Cat, I guess you'll know what I'm going to do, now don't you?"

"Actually, no."

"Well then, never mind that, you'll find out."

"What?" they all asked in surprised.

"Acid Mist!" Arukenimon shouted and sprayed acid onto Wishmon, Willis, and Terriermon. They struggled to escape but failed, now they were struggling to get the acid off of themselves while they screamed, hoping that the others will come and help.

"Spider Thread!" Arukenimon yelled, and I was again tied up, this time, with threads. Then she kicked Mummymon awake.

"What? Arukenimon? You're alive! I was so afraid that-"

"Stuff it, Mummymon! Grab her!"

"Right!" And he approached me and lifted me onto his Digital shoulder. My belongings fell with my D-3 and D-terminal. Then, he walked back to join her.

"No! Don't take her!" Wishmon urged but it was too late. Mummymon started to fade away with me, literally.

"What's happening?" Willis asked.

"He's heading back to the boss, and there's nothing any one of you can do to stop us."

Wishmon was furious! She couldn't take it anymore! She got into my handbag, wiped the acid off, and jumped out. She raced, heading towards the fading Mummymon, the Digi-kidnapper, but he completely faded away with me before she got there, so she stopped. Willis and Terriermon finally got help when Izzy brought back reinforcement.

"Who're you?" Davis asked.

"What's the problem?" Yolei asked.

"We heard screaming-"Kari said.

"So we came here as fast as we go," T.K. added.

"I told you I'll bring reinforcement."

"Well, you're a little too late, Izzy," Wishmon informed without looking.

"So, where's Annye, Wishmon?" Izzy asked.

"Enough chit-chats! Listen! And listen carefully if any of you wish to see her again-"

"Who're you?" Yolei interrupted and looked towards Willis.

"Who me? I'm Willis and this is Terriermon."

"Yolei! Willis! Be quiet, I'm trying to listen. Go ahead," Wishmon answered.

"Okay, finally, my turn. Where was I? Oh yeah, now I remember, if any of you wish to see her again, bring me Ken without Wormmon. He's to be here tomorrow at this same time right here-"

"That's it?" Tentomon asked.

"What about Annye?" Veemon asked.

"She'll be fine. If you follow my instructions carefully, we'll free her in exchange for Ken tomorrow. Make sure he's not late, or else-"

"Or else what?" Davis asked.

"Or else she's history!" Arukenimon laughed and disappeared.

"Ah!" the newcomers all screamed.
