AThis way.@ I looked down a hallway, saw no enemies, and ran down it. My D-Terminal said I was nearing the generator. I turned through another door, and found myself facing a hundred troops.
AWell, Kari, it=s been nice knowing you.@
AYou too, Davis. Thanks for trying.@
AMight as well go out in a blaze of glory.@ I thumbed the button on the lightsaber, the beam sprung out, and I ran toward them. Each fired at me, narrowly missing each time. They seemed to slow down, and I seemed to speed up. I wove in and out of laser blasts, each one not even close to touching me. I got close to an enemy, and my elbow accidentally knocked his helmet off.
Inside was a droid=s head. I lopped it off, and suddenly I didn=t have any objections to destroying them. They weren=t alive, so I wouldn=t have taken a life. I started to swing wildly, knowing that no one would be hurt, and destroyed about ten before they figured out what I was doing. They started to focus their fire on me instead of the group. But I sped up even further, and I avoided the shots. I held my lightsaber out to the side, blade parallel with the ground. I ran to the right of several troops, lightsaber hitting them about the waist, each falling in two pieces.
I threw the lightsaber at the generator, and it went straight through, slicing sideways. The handle bounced off the wall, rebounded against a droid or two, and landed back in my hand.
AC=mon, Kari, let=s get back to the ship!@
We started to run back to the hangar, but we were fired on again by one of the surviving troops. It almost hit me, and Demiveemon Digivolved.
ADemiveemon, Digivolve to . . . Veemon!@
Now=s your chance! ADigi-Armor, energize!@
AVeemon, Armor Digivolve to . . . Raidramon, the Storm of Friendship!@
AGet on, Kari! Let=s go!@
Raidramon got us back to the ship quickly, where we found more troops.
AThunder Blast!@
Raidramon attacked with blue lightning bolts, and the troops were electrocuted. We got on the ship, and took off. As we did, several fighters swarmed after us. We oriented ourselves to Yavin 4, and brought ourselves into hyperspace, seconds before our playmates fired. As the stars faded into starlines, I slumped into my seat, my arm flopped onto the control panel. How did I do so well with this lightsaber? I thought, holding it up. And why did they pull me in? Why am I even in this galaxy? AI=m just a kid, I can=t deal with this!@
AWhat=s wrong, Davis?@ Kari asked.
I hadn=t realized that I had said that last part out loud. ANothing. I just . . . @
AWondered how you were able to do what you did?@
How does she know? AHow did you know?@
AI don=t know, but I=ve been thinking about it, too. How did you do it?@
AI=m not sure, but I think Skywalker will know.@
AWell, however you did it, thank you.@ She gave me a hug, squeezing tightly. AWe=d all be dead if it hadn=t been for you.@
ABut . . . @
AShhh.@ She put her finger to my lips. AYou saved us. That=s what counts.@
I=d had this conversation before, in a dream, I think. I had saved Kari right when she was about to be killed. AWell . . . @
AAre you two gonna kiss or what?@
A voice came through the comm unit. I had accidentally hit the comlink when my arm fell on the controls. Our words were being broadcast through the ship. Oops. AVeemon!@
AIt=s not my fault that you opened a channel.@
Kari blushed and looked at me. AWell, I guess the joke=s on us.@
My face burned as I hopefully replied. AMaybe we should answer his question?@
AI say yes.@ Her cheeks brightened to a gorgeous shade of pink.
AMe too,@ I said with elation.
We put our arms around each other and drew our faces closer. We closed our eyes, touched our lips, and I felt dams of excitement break open as we kissed. I could almost feel her excitement, too. I seemed to feel her thoughts, all coming through this close contact.
AHey, you guys, what=s going on? Don=t give me the silent-@
I reached over and flicked the comlink off. This was even better than when I saved her from the Giga House, but that was just a dream, this was real, and there wasn=t anyone to interrupt us. We couldn=t be attacked right now, because we were in hyperspace. Unless another Interdictor Cruiser showed up, we were safe.
We finally released each other, and looked in the other=s eyes. We stared for quite some time, and I saw a glimmer in her eye. I guess I started to smile, because Kari started laughing.
Grinning more, I sat down and checked the timer that told how much time was left in a hyperspace jump.
The screen read 2 hrs 46 min.
AKari, I=m going to lie down. Tell Vee to wake me up when we are fifteen minutes away from Yavin, would you?@
ASure thing, Captain,@ she choked out.
AStop that,@ I said as I left. I went through the door to my room and flopped on the bottom bunk. I put my face into the pillow and noticed a sweet smell on it. Whoa, Kari uses some great shampoo.
I fell asleep almost instantly, vaguely noticing Kari climbing to the top bunk to lie down as well.
I had a dream that I was flying, up into the skies, until I finally stopped in front of Azulongmon, a mythical Digimon.
ADavis, Kari, TK,@ he said. I looked to my right and noticed Kari floating there. On her other side TK floated.
AYes, Azulongmon?@ I asked.
AGreat danger is coming.@
AThere is?@ Kari asked
AYes. You have been in a similar situation before. Seemingly safe, but just being watched by evil until the right time comes to strike.@
I was puzzled. AI have?@
ADo you not remember the dream you had? Kari=s rescue at the Giga House?@
AHow do you know?@ Kari and I said simultaneously. I glanced at Kari. She looked shocked.
AIt wasn=t a dream, Davis. It was real, and I am in danger for telling you this. You have recently made a new acquaintance, have you not?@
AHan Solo?@
ANo, you haven=t actually met him.@
ALuke Skywalker?@
AYes. He will help you in the trials to come, and he will help you get home again. I have noticed a power in you, Davis. You, TK and Kari.@
AKari has it, too?@ TK asked.
AYes. I have sent you here to learn to use it. But I couldn=t separate you from your friends willingly, so I had to send them, as well.@
ABut why?@
AI cannot tell you now. Just remember the dream you had. You, TK, you, Davis, and you, Kari, are the only hope of bringing your friends home. Good luck, children, I must go before I am missed.@
ABut wait!@
Azulongmon disappeared as I tried to get more info. I felt myself falling, falling, until I woke up. I heard stirring up above me, and I saw Kari climbing down from the bunk as I sat up.
