~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The first thing Hope did when she stepped on the train was to look around. Her gaze stopped on one blonde-haired figure. The figure's eyes were looking down, so she didn't notice Hope looking at her until she looked up.

Hope's eyes widened. Akiya!? Her mind screamed. Her own sister!? Was she behind all this? Her thoughts raced in her mind.

Akiya seemed surprised, too. What is Hope doing here? Akiya thought. I thought she was in school…. Wait a minute. Hope…that isn't Hope! Akiya stopped, realizing the truth. Hope is taller than that, she realized. She looks the same age as me! And her hair…it's sorter! Her clothes…they aren't the clothes she wore today? And she isn't on the running track team! Her heartbeat slowed. She breathed a sigh of relief in her mind.

Meanwhile, Hope was looking at her oddly. Akiya…she looks like the same age s me! Her mind screamed. Akiya isn't in any swimming competition today! She's in gymnastics! Wait a minute…she was talking about taking swimming lessons…but that was before she took gymnastics! Something's not right here….

The other girl seemed to come to the same conclusion. The two girls stared at each other. It isn't Hope/Akiya…isn't it?

"Hope…?" She said doubtfully.

The other girl looked surprised. That is Akiya? "Akiya…. It's really you!?" Hope cried.

Akiya seemed reassured that she was who she seemed like and let out a cheerful," Hi! Do you know whatcha we're doing here?"

Hope seemed to come to a stop. Her eyes hardened. "No, I don't." she said. She turned to her sister. "Do you know?"

Akiya, less cheerful now, shook her head. "Do you have any idea why we're here?" Again, the answer was no.

Clank. Clank.

They looked up. Until now, they had forgotten they were on a train, and moving. Dimly, Hope remembered that they had stopped two times. Are there any more of us? She wondered. How many of us are forced into this rescue mission?

Suddenly, the train skidded to a halt, nearly throwing Hope across the train compartment. Akiya looked out of the window. The bright sun peeked out behind the dark storm clouds. Akiya checked the sky for others. It's going to rain, she decided. Not a drizzle, a real flood. She sighed. What a perfect day, she thought to herself. Not. She smiled, a little. Maybe it isn't so bad after all, she thought to herself. She loved the rain, the sky, and what came after. Tree leaves wet with dew, birds singing and chirping….

She and hope stepped out of the train compartment and was immediately swallowed by darkness. Akiya gasped. A few moments ago, the sun was shining its heart out. What had caused this black void?

Suddenly, they heard leathery wings…and the whisper," Kill…kill…."

The sisters stepped closed to each other. Hope said over her shoulder," Akiya, you there?" She heard her sister answer back, "Right by your shoulder," They stood back to back, ready to defend each others back.

If Hope dies, I will have myself to blame, Akiya thought to herself. So she can't die. We just got here, and we will not get beaten by a bunch of things that fly in the dark. She gritted her teeth.

Hope was thinking the same thing. I will cause mother and father pain, she thought fiercely. After all the times, they had to cope with me…. I will NOT let my sister die!

Then they heard a clear voice shout, "Archerimon!" They paused to sense what direction the voice came from, but they couldn't. The things with leathery wings took this pause to attack them. Their wings and their screeches brought them back to their predicament.

Even if this "Archerimon" was strong, Hope thought to herself, she or he could be allies with these disgusting things. As if to answer her, her shoulder, attacked by their claws, started bleeding. Hope faltered for a minutes and Akiya turned around when she shouldn't feel Hope's shoulders against hers.

"Hope!?" She said into the darkness. The black void swallowed her statement. She heard her sister coughing. She turned toward the sound, but she sensed the leathery wings coming back. She swung her fist into the air, and it connected with one of the "leathery wings". She smiled, thinking that the karate and gymnastics lesson she was taking was letting her fight in a real life/death situation. She smirked. Bring it on (like Kouji -_- ^^;;)! She heard Hope cry out again. She frowned. That's not fair! She thought fiercely.

She started searching for her sister and found something sold, and wet. It's her shoulder, she realized. She grabbed her other hand, and cried, "Come on!" She pulled Hope up, and after checking that she could stand, pulled her away from the leathery wing things and started running.

Suddenly, she tripped over a log. Hope went flying over her, landing heavily in some bushes. Akiya could sense the things coming closer, and close…. Buts he could do nothing, because when she moved, she was reminded of her painfully, twisted ankle. She groaned. No, she thought to herself. This can't be happening…. This is all a dream. That's right. But why did she think it wasn't? And shouldn't she have awaked up by now?

Suddenly, a bright light grew in front of her, revealing a gadget about 4 inches long. She stared at it, amazed. It was bright sea green, with periwinkle banners, her favorite colors. Some of the banners were silver or white. Wow, she thought to herself, is it for me? She started to reach for it, and heard a screech of pain as the light glowed brighter. But Akiya no longer heard the sound. The light was warm…so comforting. Like…there was nothing but happiness in the world.

"Digi-code scan!" Akiya shouted! "Celestial evolution activate!"

She was stripped to the skin, surrounded by a white light, star-shaped. She spread out her arms on either side of her. A soft cloth surrounded her. Most likely a cloak, she thought to herself dimly. It feels so soft and fluffy and warm…. She felt hard boots with her feet, feeling safe. She felt her hand grab on a staff and her deep violet blue eyes opened, twirling the long staff.  She did a no hands cartwheel, then twirled. She cried," Shinjite'ru!" which omitted a bright light that shot out from her staff.

Her blue-black hair flew all about her, and she said in a clear voice," Cielamon!" now she could see the intruder. They were black, with big eyes, and wings. They whispered again," Kill, kill…."

"Oh no you won't!" Cielamon shouted to them. She glared at them raising her staff. She cried, "Sole Blast!" the darkness around them vanished, replaced by the sun. The sun was just setting.

The Pipismon, blinded, flailed around, knocking each other to the ground. Their leathery wings, and their sharp claws only encouraged their digicode. Cielamon whipped out the digivice, and cried, "Digicode scan!" After scanning the digimon, she looked around to see five more Pipismon glaring at her.

"Kill…kill!" they hissed.

Uh oh, she thought. She gritted her teeth. I've got to lead them from my sister, she thought to herself, glancing at Hope. She levitated in the air, and yelled to the Pipismon, "Hey you! Come get me!" then she flew away from them as fast as possible. Her dark blue cloak flared out, making her seem like a big bird with a long stick.

Roused, the big Pipismon flew after her, leaving Hope. Cielamon waited until they were far away from her sister, and banked in the air. She held her staff out. The digimon had no idea that she was stopping, but flew straight at her, their talons in the front.

Cielamon waited until the last second, and cried out, 'Star Arashi Burst!" a torrent of bright, sharp stars burst from her staff, sending the five Pipismon, beaten and bloody all the way down. Cielamon flew with them, and touched the ground before them. "Digicode scan!" she said, getting the 5 digimon's data. She felt herself grow stronger, and the feeling of safeness grew inside her. Her happiness grew too.

She flew back where she left Hope. I hope she's all right, she thought to herself. Bu she knew that it would be nothing. Wait a minute…she thought to herself. If I go back to myself, I would have a twisted ankle. How will we survive? She shook away the thought, and landed next to Hope. She stared at her sister in wonder, because she had seen the whole battle unfold before her eyes.

How do I go back to myself? Cielamon thought to herself. Although this form made her feel stronger…she came back to herself, landing with a cry of pain at her twisted ankle. Hope looked at her worryingly. She had barely enough time to dress her wound with her jacket, and didn't know that Akiya had a twisted ankle too. She held out her uninjured arm and said, "Akiya? Let's go." She hefted Akiya's arm over her injured shoulder, and winced.

Akiya also winced, putting her weight on her left ankle. She noticed Hope's are-you-alright look over her face. She smiled a little. "Let's go," She said. We might not get through this journey alive, she suddenly thought. She shivered and pushed the thought away. "Together, we'll get though this," she whispered t herself. "We're gonna rescue this world, no matter what! And no one's going to die!' she stared defiantly ahead. She had no clue that Hope had heard every single word.
