A/N: Not much happens in this one. It mainly
serves to get them into the digital world, and things will become more interesting
by the next chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own digimon, it belongs to Toei, Saban, Bandai and Fox
Kids. Eterna/Amelia and Plutomon belong to me.
Dark Enchantress
Chapter Two
Return to the Digital World
Late that night, when most people were fast
asleep, Izzy Izumi was busy on his computer. He was online, chatting and the
like, when the screen blanked out for a moment, then a moving video of Tentomon
appeared on the screen.
"Tentomon!"
"Izzy, Izzy, can you hear me? Izzy!"
"Tentomon!"
"Izzy, you're there! Thank god. Izzy, the digidestined must return
to the digiworld."
"Hi Amelia!"
"Hey Yolei," Amelia walked over, "Fancy seeing you here."
All the new digidestined (minus Ken) were in the computer lab at school.
Yolei put her hand behind her head and sweatdropped, "Well, you know,
it's not like it's any big event, I mean, I'm here every day." Just then
Izzy came rushing through the door.
"Guys!" he said, slightly out of breath, "I'm glad I found
you. It's about--" he caught sight of Amelia, "Oh."
"My my my," said Amelia, walking towards him, "This must be
Izzy Izumi. Yolei's told me so much about you, how you're president
of the computer club and all."
"Erm--really?" Izzy said, awkwardly, "She did."
"Yes," said Amelia, "You're a perfect guy, you know,
so handsome, and so smart."
"Erm--Amelia, I really should tell the others something, not meaning
to seem rude, but, you know, computer club business, I'd prefer not to discuss
it with non-members."
Amelia raised her eyebrows, but complied, "Of course. I should really
head off anyway. Bye guys... bye Izzy."
She began to stroll off, but --accidentally-on-purpose-- tripped. Her bag
fell out of her hand and hit the floor, and out bounced her digivice, just
as she had planned. The digidestined rushed over to help her--and saw the
digivice.
"Is this... yours?" Cody asked uncertainly, picking it up.
"Yes," replied Amelia, getting back to her feet, "I have no
idea what it is though, it just came out of my computer screen a few days
ago."
Yolei looked at Izzy. Izzy looked at Davis. Davis, being the current 'Goggle
Boy'--and consequently the leader--had no-one to look at. So he was stuck.
"Well, you see Amelia, that's a digivice" he said, doing his best
to look like he knew what he was talking about.
Amelia blinked at him, "Digi What?"
++Fifteen Minutes Later++
(Davis is slow at explaining things, ne?)
"So that's why we have to save the digiworld."
Davis finished at last.
"And it looks like you're in luck, Amelia," added Izzy, "because
Tentomon contacted me last night and said that we needed to go back. That's
what I've been trying to tell you guys!"
"Right then," said Davis, suddenly full again of... erm... leader-ness,
"Hold your digivice up to the computer screen and get ready to rock!"
One by one they all took their places and Yolei got ready to open the digiport,
"Digi--"
"Wait!" said Amelia, "May I do the honors?"
"Sorry Amelia but you need one of these digivices to open the
digiport," said Yolei, pointing at her D-3.
"Fair enough."
"Right," Yolei once again held up her D-3, "Digiport Open!"
They had a bit of a shock when they reached
the digital world. It was pitch black night, even though it had been the middle
of the afternoon when they left. The group promptly fell in a heap.
"Don't we usually do that when we get back from the digiworld?"
grumbled Yolei, who was right at the bottom of the pile. She climbed out from
under everyone, making the whole pile topple over. Davis and TK sat up, Davis
wearing TK's hat and TK with Davis's goggles on his head. They looked at each
other
"I think these are yours." they said in unison, and swapped headgear.
"They're getting along unusually well." Cody remarked, as Davis
stood up, took a few steps forward, and promptly bumped into a tree, knocking
himself backwards and into TK, who had just stood up. They both went back
down again, and everyone stared at Davis.
"I didn't see it!" Davis said indignantly.
"Look, I've never been to the digital world, so I wouldn't know, but
I get the feeling it's not supposed to be this dark." Amelia said, pretty
annoyed that everyone had been talking about stuff that wasn't about the darkness.
"You guessed right," Yolei said thoughtfully, "The question
is, though, why?"
Plutomon watched from the shadows. Time to make her move.
"I think we've all been thinking the same thing." she remarked,
stepping forward so that she could be seen by the digidestined.
"Do you know," Cody questioned.
"Not exactly. All I know is what any digimon knows, that one day the
moon didn't set and the sun didn't rise."
The digidestined all pondered this for a moment, then Izzy spoke, "From
your explanation, and from what I've seen, the most logical guess would be
that something has happened to the shield of light we used our crests to put
up."
"Hey guys, I got an e-mail." said
Kari, some time later. They had been walking for a while, hoping to find something
that would help them.
"It's from Ken," she continued, "He says to meet up with him
in Gigabyte City."
"Where's that?" asked Yolei.
"Luckily it's not too far from here," Kari consulted the map in
her D3, "I can see the signal coming from his D3 in the next area."
"Gigabyte City is a very dangerous place," Plutomon spoke up. She
grinned evilly at Amelia, they continued, "There are a lot of powerful
Dark Digimon there. If you go, you could be walking into a trap."
"Well, I think we should risk it." Cody spoke up. The others
looked at him, including Amelia, who raised an eyebrow. She had been hoping
that Plutomon's warning might encourage Kari to go to the city, as Kari had
a deep mistrust of Amelia, so presumably Plutomon too--but Cody, one of the
groups' voices of reason? Even better.
"Is this Gigabyte City?" asked
Yolei.
"According to my D3, we're right at the entrance." replied Kari,
staring at the ruined city.
It looked slightly like a bomb had hit it. You could see that it had once
been a fine city, encircled by a high wall, but there were only the crumbled
remnants of the wall left, barely five feet high at the highest, and usually
shorter. The buildings inside weren't much better, most in ruins, and the
once still standing damaged and looking as if they would topple over any moment.
There were small craters in the street, as if from the steps of a giant digimon,
and bricks and broken glass lay everywhere.
"What happened here?" Izzy asked, walking towards them.
"I'm not sure," Ken replied, walking towards them from behind a
pile of rubble, "This was one of the cities that Kimeramon destroyed,
but I know for a fact that it was restored."
"So why is it destroyed now?" Amelia asked him.

See, I told you nothing much happened in this chapter.
Just be patient, and in the mean time, R&R!
