Chapter16 – Truth of Serenity

While in Cherubimon…

"Ha, ha, ha!" Cherubimon laughed evily. Holding up Princess Serenity's body using one of his claws. "Now that I put you to sleep forever, you and your little humans can't do nothing to destroy me, even your little Kouji. Nobody here now can save you."

Then he looked over her with his jealousy eyes. "You know, I hate you! I can't even looked at your horrible face right now!"

Then, he thought a little longer and suddenly an idea came up in his mind.

"Why don't I put you into, maybe outerspace or something. Just like the other one?" Then he thought it over. "Hmm, maybe no. I'll just keep you here, since nobody can save you."

"Stop! Cherubimon." Takuya said.

Then, Cherubimon turned back and saw the kids, Ophanimon, and King Minamoto. He laughed evily.

"Well, well. If it isn't the King and Ophanimon." Then he turned to the kids. "And these wimpy kids."

"We'll show you who's a wimp." Kouji said.

"Oh, it's that you, Kouji? Have you came back from the dead?" Cherubimon said.

Kouji ignored him and he turned to the Legendary Warriors. "Are you guys ready?"

"Mmm," they all said.

They all took their detector out. Kouji and Takuya Fusion- Evolved into Beowolfmon and Aldamon, while the rest Beast – Evolve.

Hmm… Cherubimon thought. How come that blond girl looks so familiar?

"What did you do to Princess Serenity?" Ophanimon asked.

"Put her into sleep forever, of course. Nobody can wake her." Cherubimon then gave Kouji and evil look. "Not even you, Kouji."

"Then we'll guess that we just have to fight you then." Adalmon said.

Then, they all spring into attack at once, but it didn't work.

"You'll never defeat me!" Cherubimon laughed.

"No… you haven't…" Zhphermon got up slowly. Then she spring and attacked him. Cherubimon then used his claws to grab her. Now Zhphermon was caught.

"I guess you want to die first. Don't you, little birdie." Cherubimon laughed.

"You're a liar, you said that you sent her into another dimension, and look where she is right now, still in the Digital World!" Zhphermon shouted.

"No, Zhphermon!" Kouji shouted.

"Shut up!" Cherubimon shouted to Kouji. Then he turned to Zhphermon and continued on. "Then, I'll destroy you first!"

Then he used his laser beam and shot Zhphermon.

"Ah!" Zhphermon screamed.

"Zoe!" Kouji shouted.

Suddenly, Cherubimon stopped attacking her. Dropped her off the ground. He was stunned.

"Zoe?" Cherubimon repeated.

Zoe di-digivolved back to her human form. She is still groaning. When Cherubimon saw her human form, he was shocked.

"No, you couldn't be Zoe." Cherubimon said.

"Do…I...know you…or…anything?" Zoe said weakly.

Cherubimon stepped backward. "No, you couldn't have came back here. You should be back to Earth!" Cherubimon said quietly.

"What are you talking about, Cherubimon?" Ophanimon shouted.

"Zoe…Zoe…is the…future…Princess…Serenity." Cherubimon admitted.

"What?" They all shouted at the same time. Even Zoe was shocked.

"Then what about that one over there?" King Minamoto pointed to Princess Serenity.

"She is the present Princess Serenity." Cherubimon answered. "They're from a different time dimension."

"What are you talking about?" Takuya asked.

"I get it now," Ophanimon said, "They are both the same person, except that they're in a different time dimension."

"We still don't get you." J.P. asked.

"Okay," Ophanimon began to explained, "for example, there is a car crash. There is two different dimension of a person. One is the present, one is the future. The present one is the one who is going to have a car crash, but the perosn doesn't know. But the future person knows what is going to be happening because he/she have had it before, only if the future person can go back to their past dimension."

"But how?" Tommy asked.

"Simple, by using a magic item that called the 'Time Traveller.'"

"But if they are the same person, then how come they look different?"

"Because before the experiment, I was suppose to sent the present one to another dimension. Somehow my magic item glowed and then before I even realized, the future Princess Serenity came." Cherubimon explained.

"You still haven't answer my question yet, they look different?" Tommy asked impatiently.

"Well, that's because I changed Zoe's DNA so nobody will recognize her. Because she is useless to me! So I wiped her whole memory away!" Cherubimon said happily.

"If Zoe is in the future dimension." Ophanimon explained, "then thay means that Zoe must have used her power to defeat Cherubimon. Their power must be only used onece. So that's why Zoe is useless to her."

"To come to think of it, they are both useless," Cherubimon laugh. "then, I sent Zoe to Earth where the people are full of hatred to Zoe, while I kept the present one staying here, sleep forever!"

"You are a liar!" Ophanimon shouted.

"Well, I did sent Princes Serenity to another palce." Then, Cherubimon turned to look at Zoe. "But I never knew that you are one of the Legendary Warriors, and why did you come back here?"

"Because that's my destiny, to defeat you!" Zoe shouted, then she stood up walking closer to Cherubimon, with her eyes staring at the ground. "You are selfish! So that's why you sent me to Earth, so everybody will hate me!" Then, she looked up at him. "Well, you've got your wish! Ever since I was in Japan, everybody hated me! Eventhough I may not have my memories back, I'm not going to make the same mistake again!"

She spirit – evolved to Kazemonand she flew up and snatched Princess Serenity, and flew right back to them.

"Come on, we still can have a chance to wake her up." Kazemon said to the others.

"Go ahead. You'll never wake her up!" Cherubimon laughed.

"But Zoe, if you did wake her up, then one fo you have to sacrifice yourself, because two different time dimension people can't be together. Do you understand?" Ophanimon asked.

Kazemon then turned back into her human form. Zoe nodded.

"Zoe, do you know how you are going to wake her?" Takuya asked.

"I think so." Zoe replied.

Zoe lift Princess Serenity's hand. A small light glowing around them. Then Zoe began to mumble something only Serenity and her and listen. Others can't hear them.

"I wonder what they're talking about." King Minamoto asked.

"Princess Serenity," Zoe began to talk. "are you there?"

"Help me!"

"It's okay, I'm here to help you."

"Who are you?"

"I'm the future Princess Serenity."

"But how?"

Then, Zoe began to explain.

"So, after I have free you. We have 15 minutes to decide which one of us should be sacrifice. Don't worry, I've made my choice."

"But,"

"No more buts, just do what I said, okay?"

"Okay."

Then, Zoe began to chant some spells. Minutes after, Princess Serenity woke up.

"Princess Serenity!" Ophanimon said excitedly. "You are awake!"

"Yes I have!" She said excitedly. Then she looked into Kouji's eyes.

Kouji caught she was staring at him, so he turned away.

"No,that's impossible!" Cherubimon said.

"Are you ready? Serenity?" Zoe asked.

There was a bit sadness in her yes.

"No, I cannot use the power."

"Why?" King Minamoto asked.

"Because Kouji is in love with Zoe!" She shouted.

Everybody was stunned and so was Zoe!

"Then I guess we'll just have to fight. I believe if we are all working together, we can beat him!" Kouji shouted, then he ran to Cherubimon and attacked him with his Frozen Hunter. It didn't work.

"Prepare to be destroy!" Cherubimon yelled. Then he used his most powerful power and begin to fire it.

"No, Kouji," Zoe mumbled.

Kouji closed his eyes as if he was hoping for a miracle to come.

Then, Cherubimon begin to fire…
