CHAPTER 9 "A mysterious friend arrives."



"How did she do that?" Cody asked.

"How should I know that? Go ask Izzy!" Wishmon said in anger.

"Well, Izzy, explain!" Yolei shouted.

"I'm sure that-"

"Never mind, Izzy, explain after Willis and Terriermon tell us what just happened. Okay?"

"Okay, Tentomon."

"But what about Wishmon?" Armadillomon asked as he scanned to find her.

"Where is she?"

"She's gone, Patamon," his partner answered.

"With Annye's stuff," Hawkmon added.

"Where do you think she's going, Gatomon?" Kari asked.

"I'm not sure, Kari, but I think she's looking for help."

"But we're here to help-" Davis started.

"You're too late," Terriermon stated, "Just like what Wishmon said, you're a little too late."

"But we can locate her with our D-3," Cody stated.

"It's never too late!" Davis exclaimed while Izzy checked the time.

"Actually, it is a little late."

"And besides, Annye's D-3 is more than D-3," Willis answered.

"What do you mean?"

"Annye's D-3 is on non-traceable mode. No one can locate Wishmon with their D-3 until the mode is off," Terriermon answered for Willis.

"And we're little late for dinner, Davis," T.K. added.

"Who asked you, T.M.?"

"No one, and that's why we better head back home," Izzy suggested, "before our parents suspect. And besides, we have to break the news to Ken."

"Oh yeah, right," Davis agreed.

"But who's going to break the news?" Armadillomon asked and looked at Cody. "I'm sure not going to do it."

"Not me," Cody rejected and looked at Yolei.

"Don't look at me. Hawkmon, you do it."

"I will not," Hawkmon stated and looked at Veemon.

"Don't look at me, Hawkmon, I'm not looking, I'm not going to break the news to Ken that some weird Digimon kidnaped his girlfriend and we arrived too late to stop her."

"She's Ken's girlfriend? How can that be? She never mentioned that she's his girlfriend, and I was hoping to ask her on a date," Willis pondered in silence while the others continued to push each other to break the news.

"Me neither-" Davis stated before his turn.

"Not me," T.K. added, "how about you, Patamon?"

"No way, Partner."

"Gatomon?"

"Oh no, Kari. I'm not going to tell Ken and take the blame."

"Me neither, Gatomon."

"How about you, Izzy?" Tentomon asked. "Oh come on, Izzy, you're the eldest of the group, go show these chicken, I mean children how to face Ken, the Emperor."

"Me?"

"Oh stop it, you, cowards! Me and Terriermon will inform Ken of the incident."

"Whoa, Willis' so brave."

"I agree, Yolei," Kari said.

"That jerk is trying to get my girl. Gotta think of something," Davis thought. "Me and Veemon will come too!"

"What?"

"Don't worry, Veemon, we'll let him take the blame while the girls think we braver than him," Davis schemed quietly to Veemon.

"Great! Just one problem, where's Ken's place?"

"Willis. Actually, come to think about it, why don't we all go together tomorrow morning?"

"Excellent idea, Izzy," Tentomon congratulated, and they all nodded.

"Okay, then. What are we waiting for, let's get home for dinner, and we'll grouped at Izzy place, and head out to face Ken,"Yolei said. They walked and Willis with Terriermon explained.

"What's this?" Willis questioned when they all arrived.

"This is the digi-port. This is how we get into and back from the Digi-world. Any questions?" Yolei sincerely replied.

"Just one, is it open?"

"It'll soon be. Watch. Digi-port open!" Yolei yelled as she placed her D-3 forward facing the tv. screen.

After they reverted into the Real World, except Tentomon, they went their separate ways in small groups, and followed their regular time-tables.

Back in the Real World at the place where I created duplicates, the clones were no more, they had disappeared as soon as one of the originals returns. But the public notices no differences since they seem to be busy to notice anything that doesn't concern them.

"Wake up, Kid!" Arukenimon bellowed.

"Huh? What a headache! What am I doing here? Arukenimon? Mummymon? What's going on here?" I replied when I was rudely awaken. I was still threaded.

"Oh, you're awake. Good," Mummymon uttered.

"Who won't be? So, is anyone going to tell me what's going on?"

"Silent, Child! Listen carefully if you care for your life. As you know, we kidnaped you for exchange of Ken, so be quiet and we'll be back to check on you in the morning after I get some rest. And don't try to run away, you'll never escape. You see, you're not only tied up, but also surrounded by a special force field. And the result is shocking and impenetrable."

"Don't forget me, Arukenimon."

"Well, the least you can untie me so I can get some rest until tomorrow. But, you can keep the force field."

"Actually, you can keep it until the exchange. Goodnight."

"What about your thread?"

"Don't worry, it'll come off in about five minutes. Goodnight. I mean, have a bad night. Wait for me, Arukenimon."

"Okay. Weird." Soon, they both disappeared while I was stuck inside a ball of force field in the middle of nowhere that I know of. As soon as I was instantly untied, I was ready to relax since I was still in a lying down position. "I'll just get some sleep now that I'm settled. I hope the others will come for me soon. Goodnight, Wishmon, wherever you are. I wonder what you're doing. Whatever it is you take care, Wishmon."

"Annye. Annye. Wake up. It's time to go," a stranger called out cautiously.

"Wishmon? What? You're not Wishmon, who're you?" I questioned as soon as I awoke and stood up inside the ball of force field.

"Hurry up, Annye, it's dawn already. They'll be back. Hurry before they come back," she continued. This stranger seems to be reaching or had already reached adulthood. Dressed in a long sleeved, aqua-green dress with a matching pair of high-heel, stranded sandals looking as if it was bought just yesterday, illustrated that she had excellent taste in outfits and footwear. Her wavy, turquoise hair, loose, surpassing and touching more than her shoulders, implied that she enjoys wearing her hair down even though it could get in her way. Her eyes were as turquoise as her long shouldery-length hair. When I glanced at them, a soothing feeling came over and embraced me for her eyes-they were soothing and calm.

"Who're you? You look familiar, but, I don't remember telling you that I'm Annye. So, who are you? And why are you here?"

"I'm here to help you."

"Help me?"

"Don't you remember, Annye? I'm Ange."

"Actually, I don't. But, if you're here to help, go straight ahead and help me get out of the electrical charge ball of energy without injuries."

"Right," my new ally answered back and approached me. Now, she was just less than a metre from the force field.

"Watch out. The force field can really shock," I warned. "And what are you trying to do beside allowing me to perceive you trying to commit suicide?"

"You'll understand so enough. Now, close your eyes and concentrate."

"Concentrate on what, Ange, being stuck in here forever?"

"No, concentrate on uniting with me."

"What?"

"Just do it! And trust me."

"I trust no one."

"I know, Annye, I know. But don't you trust yourself?"

"I'm not sure. But I'll try, I'll try anything to get out of this and this imprisonment." And so I did, I followed this stranger's instructions and closed my eyes with concentration of uniting with her. When I did, I took my hand out, ready to hold this stranger's hand so we can unite. The stranger approached the ball even closer and pushed herself towards it. With her last step, she took her right hand out to accompany with my hand so the transfusion can take place. Her hand pierce through the force field and caused unbearable pain for her to handle, but she seemed okay, for she has a special power just like me, but more powerful which I'm yet to find out from her when we've united.
