Chapter Seventeen

      The sun was shining brightly in a deep blue sky, not a cloud could be

seen. Birds sang there songs and insects buzzed, on roads humand walked

and road in cars unconcerned about the world.

      A young boy around fourteen sat very still, his short blue hair fell

gently over his face. He wore a nice pair of glasses over a slim heart shaped

face, his clothing were ebony in color and trimmed with other colors. His

blue eyes were closed and his breathing light, he sat meditating in a hidden

area of a park.

      A soft blue aura surrounded him, in that aura slight bits of golden

color could be seen in it and also specks of silver.

      His slim hands rested unmoving on his lap, his mind was was calm as

he walked himself through his mind.

Mindplane:

      Sam frowned as he looked around the inside of his mind, it was a

beautiful colloge of colors. There was the soft blue of his aura, the power of

the digieggs of miracles had granted him and a slight silver color... what it

signified he didn't know.

      "What now?" he asked himself, he looked at the colors and then with

interest noticed that each of them led to other spots in his mind.

      'Silver first' he thought and it was best, he already knew what the

other two led too... the silver would help him find himself.

      Sam walked through the corridors of his mind making nary a sound,

the walls were unchanging... yet he knew he was getting nearer to wherever

the silver passageway led.

      Finally it ended and he found himself at an unopen door, it was silver

in color yet it had a ying/yang symbol on it. Sam gulped feeling fear, what if

this door led to something he didn't want... what if he learned something that

would tear his mind apart.

      "What to do, if I don't go through the door I won't find out who i really

am... if i do i might find out something that could rip away all i know again?"

he asked himself, he looked at the door fearing the unknown.

***

      Gennai smiled as he felt Sams quest, he wouldn't be able to help the

teenager in this quest... this quest was Sams alone.

      "Do not be surprised at what you find Sam, good luck," Gennai

whispered, he then smiled.

***

      Gatomon frowned and looked up at the clear blue sky, a frown settled

on her furry features.

      'I feel as if something is about to happen, but I have no idea of what it

could be' the cat digimon thought, shaking her head she continued on her

way. At the moment she had a quest, she needed to find Konekomon or his

higher form Nekomon.

      'I have some questions I need to ask him, and to do that I first need to

find him' she thought, hopefully she would find him before trouble found

him.

***

      "This is it, behind this door... will tell me what i need to know," Sam

told himself, his hand shook as he slowly lifted it to open the door. As his

hand touched the doornob the door began to slowly open, he blinked in

surprise and opened it the rest of the way.

      He gasped in surprise as silver light hit his face, it felt warm and

inviting to him. As suddenly as the light appeared it vanished, walking

inside he found himself in a room that seemed to have no end.

      The whole area actually looked like an elven forest of ledgend,

blinking he walked inside leaving the door slightly ajar. He walked through

the area, it felt so real yet he didn't understand what all this had to do with

him.

      "Yes you do," a soft female voice whispered, startled he turned to find

himself... looking at the female side of his ranma form.

      "Wha... " he said startled, she gave a bell like laugh.

      "I am a memory of the spirit of the spring you fell in, this whole forest

and me is your unconcious mind giving form... to answer your soul searching

questions," the girl said, lets call her Ranko from now on.

      "Oh... but I really have to know, who am I now... I don't even know

myself anymore," Sam asked her, Ranko smiled and sat down. He sat down

also, she looked at him gently.

      "First of all Sam you will always be yourself no matter what form you

have, the body is like a piece of clothing. Just because you look different

doesn't mean your a different person, your time as ranma your memories

were blocked but in that time you gained new skills and things you needed

yo survive... yet you are still Sam," Ranko told him, Sam nodded

understanding what she said.

      "I see, but I'm still so confused... I can't seem to control anything about

my life anymore.... and what happens if someday I find myself eternally

trapped in my digimon form?' he asked fearfully, Ranko smiled at him

gently.

      "Don't worry so much about controlling the future Sam, anyway there

is no chance at all that you will become trapped as Nekomon forever. You are

gifted with the gift of becoming your own partner but you are still human in

your heart and so human your main form will ever be, I can tell you nothing

more Sam... the knowledge you need will come to you when you need it,"

Ranko said and she stood up, the next thing Sam knew was that he was

outside the door again and it was closed.

      'That helped some, but not much' Sam thought with a sigh, with a 

shrug he left his mind.

***

      Sam found him in the corridors of his mind once again, he sighed at

the strange things he had found. Now he looked at the third color, it was a

beautiful gold color and seemed to fill him with warmth.

      "There next," he said, as he walked down that hallway in his mind he

suddenly froze... he knew then that something bad was happening in the real

world.

      "I have to go back, this will have to wait till later," he sighed, he

looked ahead and saw a door with the symbol of miracles on it. Then he

turned and ran to the center of his mind, adn awoke to the real world.

***

      Mummymon laughed stupidly, the dark spire digimon were making a

nice mess of the real world. He wondered where the lovely spider digimon

was and shrugged, at the moment he would make her proud at the

destruction his group would cause.

      "Whoah," a voice said, startled the digimon spun around to spot an

unfamilliar figure. He blinked when he saw the person though, who ever it

was reminded him of the destined child Ken.

      "Prepare to be destroyed," he yelled, the fourteen year old boy

blinked and adjusted his glasses.

      "Umm... thats suppose to be scary, right?" the boy asked, Mummymon

blinked and closed his eyes in thought.

Five minutes later:

      Sam blinked and looked at the silent digimon, he blinked and

wondered if this guy was serious.

Ten minutes later:

      Sam sweatdroppedand looked at the still unmoving digimon, he

shrugged getting impatient for the idiot digimon to answer.

      "Oh well, might as well take care of those idiot control spire digimon,"

Sam sighed, he then grinned quite evilly and cracked his knuckles.

      Grinning and humming he changed easily into Nekkomon (no one saw

him of course, he quickly decimated them into useless data particles that

soon vanished.

      "Now thats more like it," Nekomon smirked, he then walked away not

waiting for mummymon to come back to reality.

Fifteen minutes later:

      "Why yes it is?" he finally answered opening his eyes, he sweat

dropped seeing that the blue haired biy was gone.

      "Strange," he said turning to face the control spire digimon, and he

quickly began to panic.

      "Not good, not good at all," he muttered in a high pitched paniked

voice, while he had been thinking the spire digimon had been destroyed and

he knew that he was in big trouble.

***

      In another part of the city a brown haired woman looked silently at a

gravestone, every year since Sams death she visited every few months.

      In her thoughts she wondered many things, what would of Sam been

like if he had lived or never been in the accident. She even wondered if he

would of been a digidestined like Ken, but because of Fate she would never

know what Sam could of been.

      "Oh Sam, I love you so much and miss you so much it hurts," she

wispered tears falling down her face, she placed she rosed on her departed

sons grave.

      "I'll visit again soon," she whispered, she then walked away not

looking back to the small grave.

***

      In yet another part of the city (I keep jumping around don't I, sorry)

Arukenimon the female spider digimon walked, around her were a few dark

tower digimon... fake digimon.

      She grinned evilly at teh destruction they all caused, she knew that

sooner or later Nekomon or those annoying destined kids would show up.

      'Let the games begin' she smirked, she would have fun in the coming

hours.

TBC

Well the chapter was kind of lame but next chapter more action, I plan to

Nekomon to armor digivolve or go mega... as the spider digimon said let the

fun begin.
