My meeting place pt 1 stage 2

The group of kids ran to Sulamon and her Guardians. Goggle boy said,

"Where's Himeko? Why are Pheopomon and Galaxiamon here? Is something wrong, Sulamon?" Sulamon smiled and shook her head.

"Nothing's wrong here, Takuya. I just wanted to inform you of another crisis coming up in the digital world." Everyone was silent. "I call you, Legendary Warriors, to help the chosen ones find their courage and step up to the challenge of protecting the world from destruction once more." There was another uneasy silence. The girl was the one to brake it. She asked,

"What more can we do? We don't have the Spirits or any weapon. how do we help?"

"All of you must go around the world and find those you deem worthy of handling the Spirits as you did, Izumi. It will be more difficult because of the requirements. In order for you to find out if these children meet the requirements, you must learn their backgrounds and personality well."

"Easy as pie! We go around the world and meet kids and then choose 10 of them and go home! All in a day's work!" the boy in blue smirked. Sulamon continued,

"As I told you before, it is not as simple as you think, Junpei. You must know the child well so you make the right decision. If you may choose wrong."

"Digimon may get hurt," said the small boy in a quiet voice.

"Yes, and this time, people may get hurt also. This involves both worlds, Tomoki." the boy with the bandana spoke up,

"Well, how are we going to explain this to our parents? We can't just tell them the truth. they wouldn't allow something like this to go on." Sulamon tapped her flute with her index finger.

"You will not exist for as much time as you need to make your selection. When you come back, they will not remember your absence. They not know you left for any amount of time. You are doing this to save them also so they shouldn't mind a little trickery," Kouichi looked up at Sulamon and asked,

"What about Himeko? What will she do?" Everyone looked at Kouichi with a surprised expression. Sulamon chuckled and replied,

"Himeko is going with you, of course." Everyone's gaze shifted to Sulamon. "Well, you don't think I'm going to sit here and wait for you return, do you? I want to meet these children also! Of course it will be Himeko with you, but I'll show up once in a while, to see how thing are going for you."

"Himeko's going?" they all said at the same time. Kouichi's smile was the widest of all.

"Yes, well, this is my limit. You must hurry and pack. Your trains leave in 2 hours." Sulamon sighed.

"2 HOURES?! But we've only just arrived home!" Izumi cried.

"You must start now, if you are to finish in time for the Revolt of Cherubimon,"

"Cherubimon?! That big bully!" Tomoki growled.

"Well, as they say, history is doomed to repeat itself," Takuya cut in.

"Yes, he's right, but this time, it is Cherubimon's choice to be dominated by evil," Sulamon said quietly. "You must leave now. I think I've said too much. Pheopomon, take them back to their homes so they can pack." She turned to Pheopomon, "Freeze time if it helps. I want them to be at the train station early." She directed her focus to the children, "When you finish, wait at your front door and call Pheopomon's name. Don't be shy to yell. Your surrounding may look strange, but to not linger. You must hurry. I cannot stop this crisis by myself," First, Pheopomon, with the help of Sulamon and Galaxiamon, stopped time. Everything was frozen. The birds stopped in mid air, the cars stopped themselves and people were frozen in place. It looked like the whole world was holding still, waiting for a photo to be painted. Then, in a big orb of glowing light, Pheopomon brought each of them to their homes. After delivering his load, he went back to the park, where Sulamon and Galaxiamon were waiting. "My beloved Galaxiamon, would you please take over my post and watch over the digital world and the moons for me? I will come to see the damage later, don't worry," Galaxiamon nodded obediently and flew off towards the digital world. When Galaxiamon was out of sight, she directed her attention to Pheopomon and gave him directions to tell the children. "I must go now, my friend, I leave you in charge," Sulamon whispered as she changed back to Himeko. Just then, as Himeko's feet had lightly touched the ground, there was a voice that yelled,

"PHEOPOMOOOOOON" Pheopomon went behind Himeko and she sat down instinctively. Pheopomon took off in the direction of Takuya's house. When they landed on Takuya's yard, she had a backpack and was ready to go.

"You must ride on my back and hold Himeko so she won't fall, Takuya. She's been in a daze for a while. I've been flying carefully so she wont-" Pheopomon was interrupted by another voice calling him. Quickly, Takuya climbed onto Pheopomon's back and held on to Himeko. The voice belonged to Kouichi. As soon as they were over his house, Kouichi waved and Takuya waved back. Kouichi's pack was not very heavy looking. He didn't have many things to pack, assumed Pheopomon. "You'll have to ride in this," pheopomon made his orb of light "I cant carry you all on my back," Kouichi didn't start walking to the orb. Instead, he went to Takuya and asked,

"May I ride with Himeko? You can ride in the orb." Takuya nodded, got off Pheopomon's back and jumped into the orb. Himeko blinked and smiled a weary smile.

"Hi. Kouichi-Kun." she managed before she fell asleep on Kouichi's shoulder.

"I'll drop you three off at the station. While you're there, don't touch anyone or their possessions. It will break my spell and I will feel an aftershock wave. Then, I won't be of any use to you because I'll be dead,"

" The moral of your story is don't touch," Takuya said from inside the bubble of light. Pheopomon chuckled to himself and nodded. A few minutes later, they arrived at the station and Pheopomon dropped them off inside.

"And remember, don't touch anyone or anything, not even an accidental nudge," he said as he took off again.

"Oh great! How are we going to get Himeko through that!" Takuya pointed to a mob standing on the stairs, motionless. Kouichi gave her a piggyback while Takuya made sure she didn't hit anyone. The made it to their station and let Himeko rest on the floor with Takuya and Kouichi's backpacks as her pillow. Suddenly, they heard a noise from inside the station. They were footsteps and they were coming closer and closer to Kouichi and Takuya from the east. The steppes echoed in the silent hallways. After some tense waiting, two girls came out from behind the immobile people waiting for their train. Kouichi looked to Himeko and saw that she wasn't on the floor anymore. She was awake, but still in a daze. She walked up to one girl and tilted her chin up with her index finger. The girl looked into Himeko's eyes and something appeared on her forehead. It was the symbol for the Legendary Warrior, Ranamon. She did the same with the next girl and a symbol appeared on her neck. It was the symbol of Fairymon, Warrior of Wind. The, there were more footsteps heading in their direction from the north. They knew those footsteps belonged to their friends. As soon as everyone made it, Pheopomon materialize next to Himeko.

"I see you've found two of our warriors," he commented to Himeko, who then snapped out of her daze.

"Why are the people not moving!" she shrieked. "Why am I with these weirdoes!!"
