Ch.13 "FIGURING THINGS OUT."



Abroad the plane, two floating spirits were checking on the situation and visiting the captain.

"Kamari's got an older sister?" Uraina asked Sam in disbelief.

"Got me there. I'm clueless about that," he answered her.

"Help me, Sam. We've got to help this plane before it goes out of control," Uraina requested as she commenced to create a invisible shield surrounding the entire plane full of passengers.

"Are you sure we should help? It is kinda forbidden to go against fate," Sam said in doubt.

"Are you helping or not?" Uraina asked him impatiently.

"Well, ah.... This could add to to my years as a wandering ghost, Uraina."

"So? You're already a ghost, you can't feel pain, can you?"

"You mean both of us can't feel pain."

"Actually, I can, sometimes. It must be because I'm still the new ghost. It'll take some time for me to adjust, right? Besides, fate is what we make of it, we make our own destinies. Theirs depends on us now. So, helping or not?"

"You've got a point there, but-"

"Quickly, help me with this! It's painful holding this up."

"If you put it that way then, okay," Sam accepted as he helped in the concentration of creating the shield. "Hey, Uraina, should we tell Mariana about-" he started to ask when the shield was halfway done.

"We can talk about that afterwards. Help me with the shield. Okay?" Uraina demanded, expecting his agreement but he said nothing. Instead, he continued with the shield. I guess that was an okay. She sighed and continued with him.



Elsewhere, at T.K.'s, they were continuing with their conversation.

"Any new ideas yet?" T.K. asked the group.

"Not yet," Davis said, "I'm still not finish with my snow man. Now, what should I use for the nose? And the...."

"Ah!" Izzy said in annoyance when he saw Davis, Veemon, Yolei and others working on their snowy friends.

"Well, as you know already, like the last time, we'll have to find out who this new emperor is."

"Then, we'll explain to him that the Digital World's real so he won't continue making the mistakes I've made in the past," Ken added to Hawkmon's suggestion.

"But, will he be persuaded so easily?" I mean, it took some time before we finally convinced Ken," Yolei asked.

"And look how he turned out, he's on our side now. This new guy has issues similar to what Ken used to have, and with Ken's help and his hands-on experience, I'm positive that it won't take as long as we did."

"Yeah. You're right, Davis. This time, we're all a lot stronger."

"Well thanks, Ken," Davis answered.

"That's a brilliant plan so far, but where do we start? We can't go to every house in Japan asking to speak with the emperor," Kari commented.

"Who said anything about asking them about the emperor? We could go around selling something door-to-door and find out who the emperor is without making the world suspicious. Since our digivices can track other digivices, we'll be able to locate the emperor's digivice and then we'll know his identity without him knowing," Tai plotted.

"But there are many other Digidestines living in Japan. How will we be able to know for sure if the emperor's one of them?" Sora asked.

"That's easy, the meanest Digidestine is the emperor," Patamon answered.

"What if they're all equally nice?" Cody asked.

"Then, we'll ask to see their Digimon and we'll ask them," Biyomon replied.

"Yeah. Us, Digimon, can't lie," Veemon answered.

"Really? Then, let me ask you a question, Veemon. Do you have a crush on Gatomon?" Davis asked.

"Ah.... That's irrelevant," Veemon said uneasily.

"Really?" Davis continued to ask.

"Really," Veemon replied and the others laughed, thinking, Who knew that they couldn't lie.

"About that door-to-door selling idea, I think we should just do some kind of survey," Yolei said.

"Then, it should be a survey on children's eating preferences 'cause I'm hungry," Armadillomon added.

"We should get back inside now, and fix our Digimon some snacks. They seemed to be running low on energy. We've got to find a way for them to return to the Digi-world to rejuvenate," Izzy informed.

"Strange, isn't it, that there could be two blizzards on the same day, especially when the last time we've got a blizzard like this was when we went to the Digi-world for the first time? And still this storm hasn't ended," Joe stated.

"Yeah. You're probably right. What could be stranger than this freaky weather we're going through?"

"Well, the girl we saw coming out of a huge house today would probably top it," Wormmon said.

"What's so strange about her?" Yolei asked.

"Her hair was wet, and she was coming out to get her mail from her mailbox," Wormmon added.

"Her hair could be frozen into icicles if the temperature was any colder," Ken replied.

"Plus, she wasn't wearing any sweater or jacket on. She looked as if she could survive outdoors without them."

"What do you mean, Wormmon?"

"She wasn't shivering like me and Ken."

"Wormmon, you were shivering?"

"Well, if you put it that way, then, this girl you saw must really be daft to leave her warm cozy house just to get her letters. Where did you see?"

"We saw her next to the large apartment building nearby here. And the house that she was staying at is probably one of the few houses that might still be around this neighbourhood," Ken answered Sora.



Kamari stumbled onto a possible solution to the miscast weather problem. She explained to Wishmon that all they needed to reverse the spell are the frozen tear crystals of both a foreigner and a resident. "Then what?"

"Then I must unite them and give it to you make it into a snowflake."

"Terrific," Wishmon answered, not sounding very enthusiastic. "How am I going to do that?"

"Use your gentlest scratch attack."

"Great. Then what?"

"Then I link it to the actual weather with a spell so I could shatter it apart."

"Why should I design a snowflake out of tiny tear crystals when you're going to shatter it in the end? Why don't you just shatter as soon as you unite the crystals? It'll save me a lot of trouble and time on it."

"I'll tell you why. If you don't, I won't be able to connect it to the actual weather outside. That means that it'll be an incomplete spell. And you know what happens to incomplete spells-they don't work! Besides, the unified tear crystal will be much bigger."

"Great. Even better," Wishmon replied dully.

"Don't worry about that. It'll be your biggest ice sculpture piece!"

"Yeah, that's right," she agreed. That's because it's going to be the only ice sculpture I'm about to make.

"Glad you finally concord. Now, let's get it done before the blizzard finishes off my dad!"
