I Pity Da Foo' Dat messes Wit' Chapta Three!

(Disclaimer-I am not owning digimon in any way and do not mean what Kei says about Nevada.)

The Pond was wet. Very wet indeed. It was wet, of course, due to the fact that it was a body of water. The land around the pond, however, was wet because it had been raining all morning. But that doesn't matter, because what happened there doesn't matter towards the story. What does matter is that Kei was in his room doing homework the rest of the weekend and thus didn't see explosions coming from the construction area nearby.

"I haven't heard explosions coming from downtown. Nosireebob. And I'm certainly not going to investigate it, because Author enjoys drawing out what is bound to happen," Kei muttered to himself whilst writing a report on how Coco Puffs were the harbingers of the apocolypse. His creative writing teacher was insane.

Monday at school, all of the learners were abuzz about the new student. All they knew, however, was that she was a girl. They had pasted her class schedule next to her homeroom-also the homeroom Kei and Ebizo were in.

Ebizo's locker was next to the door. He was checking for any classes they had in common when Kei walked over, books in hand.

"So, ya think the new girl will be hot?" Ebizo asked, hopefully.

"I dunno, but she's from Hickville, USA. Or, to put it another way, Nevada," Kei replied.

"Oh. Well, would she be intelligent enough to cheat off-" Ebizo's second question was cut short by the sight of the new girl walking down the hall. "Well, looks like her previous home doesn't matter, she is hot," Ebizo gasped in wonderment.

He immediately rushed over to begin a torrent of "If I said you had a. .."s and "You must be Jamaican. .."s directed directly towards the new person. If only Ebizo had checked to see her name.

"And let the hitting on begin. Toni. .." Kei said, denoting Ebizo's black eye by third period and the newcomer's name.

Reaching into his locker, he grasped an odd gizmo. Taking it out, he saw it as a watch. Remembering his old one got busted in a scuffle with Ebizo, Kei strapped it on and went to homeroom.

And by math class, Kei was right. Ebizo coasted in from his second period class, only saying, "I think I'll stick with my limit-Mayuko."

Which of course sparked another topic.

"By the way, have you seen Mayuko around at all?" Kei asked.

"Nope. Maybe she's off with the mafia," Ebizo pondered.

"Hey, there's Toni!" Kei whispered.

She either heard him or just randomly chose a desk, because she sat at the desk right behind them.

Kei took that moment to memorize Toni's appearance. She was tall, thin, brown haired. She was wearing a coat, leather, and dark blue jeans. She had glasses, though they were not over-emphasized. There was something odd about her face though, not inhuman but not fully human, either.

The rest of trigonometry passed without a hitch, except for when Tommy Tom-Tom Tompkins leapt up and screamed "RESISTANCE IS FUTILE, HUMANS! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!" and ran out of the building.

What happened after school was the weird part. Kei was walking towards the athletic field for dodge ball, when he saw Toni walk into the shadows. Kei decided to follow.

She was leaping through the darkness, trying not to be seen by anybody, but Kei had learned the best places to go in his feeble attempt to escape detention.

He followed, ducking, diving behind her previous cover. Eventually, they left school grounds and were at the nearly destroyed construction site that Kei was unaware of. Toni was more confident now, moving through the burnt metal with more confidence than before. She jumped down a shaft with Kei close behind.

Down there, it was more a cave, than a metal obstruction. There was someone standing there whom Toni kneeled before.

"Apologies, AlbinoWizardmon. I haven't found anything more," She said to the one named AlbinoWizardmon.

It took a moment for this to register within Kei's mind. Toni was talking to an actual digimon!

"Wait. We must not speak. Another is near," it said, with a voice poetic and beautiful, yet scary and commanding.

"Oh, right, the one who was following me. Should I eat him?"

"No, we should add him to our ranks. Oh, and your previous captive is doing well."

It was at this point that Kei noticed a seemingly dead figure in the corner, but had no time to examine, because Toni turned towards him. With quick reflexes, he grabbed a hold in the wall and climbed back out of the hole.

He ran to the edge of the building, and then realized there was no floor. He grabbed a pole, pulled himself up, and, with a flurry of movement, slid the whole way back to the ground. Well, almost, because a person toting twin guns and a white monkey on her hat happened to be climbing up simultaneously. Kei screamed during the impact, and fell out of consciousness.

When he woke up, the monkey was still dazed. The other figure seemed fine.

". You seem familiar." Kei said to the living humanoid.

"Really? I'm getting that sort of vibe, but I figured your drop kick was the reason," It replied.

"Hm. Heheh, I guess so. My name's Kei, yours?" He offered.

"My name? Triggamon: the lone gunwomon, of course! Oh, and the mammal over there is Ubeekimon," Triggamon replied.

Kei was silent for a moment. Another one, too. Nothing could describe the thoughts going through his head. {Why are Ubeekimon and Triggamon real? Who was that dead body? What the heck is going on here?} He thought. As he contemplated this, Ubeekimon began to speak.

"Bing tiddle bong?" He asked.

"Bong tiddle tiddle bong tiddle bong tiddle," Kei replied.

"Are you my mother?" Ubeekimon asked.

". No." Kei said, noting his ice-blue watch, "But. I think I may be something else."

-End of chapter three-

Now I think I'll stop writing for a few months and let you ponder at the suspense in wonder-ment. Peace all!
