Chapter 3

They had been walking for hours, and they still haven't reached their destination. Shaemon could see it, but everyone thought he was crazy. They couldn't' see anything beyond sand out here.
The girls wiped sweat off their foreheads. "How much longer?" They both asked, simultaneously.
"Must they always behave like this Robimon?" Shaemon turned to her. Robimon just shrugged. Then Shaemon sighed. "It's going to take a while." He thought.
Nina glanced over at Shaemon. "So . . . . you're my sister's digimon? Why can't any of you 'digivolve'?" She asked.
"We need crests, even to reach the next level." Robimon explained. "I'm not really sure either, but I'm positive that Shaemon can explain it all to us." She nodded.
~ An hour later ~
"Finally, the city of Wyndios!" Shaemon exclaimed, upon reaching the city. It was ancient, and it's buildings looked like they were built in the Egyptian times. And they saw something strange.
There were digimon alright, but there were also humans.
Nina and Yuna looked shocked. These people lived in the digital world. How could this be? Nina ran up to one of them.
"Excuse me, but do you actually LIVE in the digital world?" She asked a female with silver hair and light purple eyes. She looked back at Nina.
"Why? Do you come from else where?" She responded. Nina nodded.
"What's your place like?" The woman asked Nina.
"Ummm . . . . . it's not a desert for one thing. But it's a lot like this world." Nina answered. The woman looked at her with bug eyes.
"You come from . . . the . . . . real . . . . world . . .. Then where's the Child of Dark? The prophcies have come true!" The woman exclaimed, grabbing Nina's arm and pulling her along. Yuna, Shaemon, and Robimon chased after her.
The woman entered a building with a group of old people. "Elders . . . This girl is from the real world!" The rest of the people stood up, and looked at that women.
"Are you serious?" One of them asked. Her she nodded, and told Nina to speak.
"I held this to my computer, and then the next minute, I find myself in the desert with Robimon. My sister was there too, but we had to fight a digimon to get Shaemon. What's this about?"
One of the men turned to another. "Get the Child of Fire in here. We should explain it all to them." The person nodded, and went into a different room.
"I wonder who the 'Child of Fire' is." Yuna whispered to Nina. She nodded in response, and couldn't believe her eyes when they met the Child of Fire.
"Chris!?! What are you doing here!?" Nina cried out, when they saw him enter the room. She went up and hugged him. Then a little digimon walked up from behind him.
It looked like a puppy whose legs were on fire. It's fur was a firey red, and it's eyes were a forest green. It had fangs which must've been two inches long. It's ears were erect, and were about a foot high in the air. It barked at Nina.
"Firgmon, don't' bark at her! Shes a friend!" Chris said to his digimon. It's ears fell to the side of his head, and he sat down. "Sorry 'bout that Nina. He's really defensive of me. How did you and Yuna get here?"
"Well, we held up our digivices to our computer, and we somehow woke up in the desert. And you?" Yuna responded, looking at him with a curious eye.
"I can't really remember. I found a red thing that looked like the object you showed me." He started, taking out his digivice. It was a fire red colour, and it was almost identical to theirs. "And then I fell asleep doing my homework, and then I found myself here. In this building too. Really weird though. And this little guy," He cut off, pointing to Firgmon, "was lying right next to me." Chris finished.
"Well, now that the reunion is over, I guess it's time to explain it all." Said one man. They all turned to him, and sat down.
"Legends tell of the digital world dying. When it's near it's end, six teenagers will come, and restore it to it's formor glory. And open a portal to the real world at the same time. It will happen after you all defeat Zasmon."
"Who's 'Zasmon'?" Nina blurted. Yuna glamped her hand over Nina's mouth, and sighed.
"You don't interrupt people when they are trying to tell you something!!" She whispered harshly to her twin.
"Ahem . . . Zasmon is a digimon who was once in control of the digital world. And he still is, only back then, nothing went wrong. The digital world was at it's peak of beauty when he was ruling. And then something bad happened." He continued.
Chris, Yuna and Nina leaned in closer. "One day he went bad. No one could come up with a reason for his new behavior. He started destroying everything, and then our world started to deteriorate. Now almost every part of the world is a desert. And he blocked off our route to the real world. We've been blocked off for about a century. We used to be in peace with your world. And now they don't' even know we exist."
"Really? . . . . .How can you prove that?" Chris asked, looking at the old man in a peculiar way.
"When were computers invented Chris?" Yuna turned to Chris.
"I'm not sure, but I'm positive it wasn't a century ago." He replied to Yuna.
"We sort of had a 'shared world'. We had a part of your world. Then we came to the digital world somehow, and we've been here ever since. Some of our people had managed to visit your world, but never returned. And I'm guessing that you descended from them. No one else would enter the digital world without someone like us."
"This is confusing." Chris whispered to Nina. She nodded.
"Why can't I digivolve?" Robimon asked the man.
"It's simple Robimon. You need crests in order to digivolve further. Nina needs to find the crests of the wind element for you to digivolve to your full capabilities. The same goes for your digimon." He said to the others, as he finished with Robimon.
"Are there any more kids like us?" Yuna asked.
"Yes. There should be three more. You all should find them. Besides, you all have to be together in order to defeat Zasmon. All the crests have to be together. Then all your digimon will become one that can defeat anything." He nodded. "You three need to find the Children of Water, Earth and Light." He added, before getting up, and leaving the room.
They watched as the old man left. "When should we leave? I'm sure they can't help us further." Firgmon barked.
"Let's leave tomorrow!" Shaemon exclaimed, pounding a fist into an empty hand. "We'll be well rested then, and I'm sure we'll all have clear minds."
Everyone else nodded.
"What year is it in your world?" asked a woman. The one who pulled Nina to the building.
"It's about 2050. Technology hasn't changed much since the 2000's." Chris responded immediately. The woman blinked, and then left the room.
