Shadow-Assassin: *Laughs as she continues to watch Davimon dance. Jackiemon had left a while ago so it was just the two of them*

Davimon: *Glares at Shadow as he dances uncontrollably*

Shadow-Assassin: This is getting boring.  *Snaps her fingers and Davimon falls to the ground*

Davimon: AT LAST! OUCH! *He yelps as he attempts to get up off the ground*

Shadow-Assassin: *Giggles* You should rent yourself off as a clown.

Davimon: You think? Well… Why don't I try a trick?

Shadow-Assassin: *Looks at him confused*

Davimon: I'm gonna need a magic hat, a can of shaving cream, a rope, a flute and a wand.

Shadow-Assassin: *Snaps her fingers and the requested items appear along with a large sign that says, "THIS AUTHORESS DOES NOT OWN DIGIMON BUT SHE DOES OWN HER CHARACTERS"*

Chapter 17: Power Of The Seer Kimamon

We'd finally found our way out of the land of dragons and knights but unfortunately Mattamon had gone back to being mute… The spell only came off in his castle... I felt sorry for him but he seemed happy now that his sister was with him. She was a pleasant addition to the team.

"Are we there yet?" Jayjmon complained.

Saramon giggled slightly, "Stop complaining you. We'll be at a good camping stop in no time."

Jayjmon looked over at her, "Not soon enough for my sore paws."

"This'll do," I said suddenly.

Jayjmon turned to look at her and I grinned and laughed slightly.

"Thank god," Andreamon said, "I haven't walked that long in a very long time… I was generally locked up in the castle."

Mattamon looked at her sadly.

"Don't you fret little brother… I'm ok now," she smiled nuzzling him slightly.

He smiled and nodded as he lied down on the ground.

The rest of us did the same. Jayjmon sighed in relief and Saramon laughed at him again.

"It's not funny," he said turning his head away from her.

I could clearly tell that he had a crush on her… and from the looks of it she had a crush on him as well.

"I'm getting some shut eye," Ianumon said as he put his head down on a rock and closed his eyes.

"Aren't ya gonna eat something?" I asked.

"Ya… We've got a long day ahead of us tomorrow," Jessamon added smiling slightly.

"I'm too tired to eat," He said with a yawn.

"Ok then… Night," Jessamon said as she took a bite of berries.

"Goodnight," he said as he slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Ianumon

There were lights… Bright blinding lights…

I looked around my surroundings curiously. Everything around me was white… Pure white. Blinking star like lights wandered this way and that all around me. I watched as they danced around like fairies in the whiteness.

"Where am I?" I asked curiously.

"It is time," came a beautiful female voice from out of nowhere.

"Time? What do you mean? Time for what?" I asked the voice.

"It is time," the voice repeated.

"But for what? I don't understand," something inside me was telling me that whatever this voice was telling me was important.

"Seek out the layer of darkness young guardian. It is time," the voice said.

"The layer of darkness? Where is that?" I asked.

"Seek out the layer of darkness… It is time," the voice said.

This voice was beginning to annoy me but I took a deep breath and said, "I will try to do as you ask."

"Your heart will guide you in the right direction," was the last thing the voice said.

I then continued to stand in the whiteness pondering. What did the voice mean? Who was this voice? Why come to me?

Jayjmon

It was morning but Ianumon was still sleeping. We tried to wake him but it didn't work so we just waited.

Soon enough he began to stir and opened his eyes sitting up, "I overslept didn't I?"

"Afraid so young one. Hurry up now. We better get goin before trouble catches up with us," Kimamon said.

Ianumon nodded and we all got ready to go. We packed enough food for the day's journey and headed out.

"Lets go this way," Ianumon said all of a sudden.

"Why that way?" Jessamon asked curiously.

"I think we should go this way," Ianumon said.

Mattamon nodded and walked up beside Ianumon.

"Matta says we should follow Ianu," Andreamon said.

"How do you now that?" I asked.

"We're family…" she said, "I can hear his thoughts."

The whole group stared at her for a second then shrugged and began to follow Ianumon.

It was probably the best to follow him. After all, he was the one who'd brought us all together. He was more or less the leader of our group. We all had a lot of respect for him. He was the glue that held this team together.

I smiled to myself as I walked and turned as Saramon walked up beside me. She smiled then turned her face the other way.

"Where are we heading now anyway?" Jackiemon asked.

"I don't know. All I know is that we're going the right way," Ianumon said.

"We're going the right way to nowhere," Jessamon said with a sigh.

"We've been going blind the whole way. Wha's your problem?" Kimamon asked.

"Nothing… I'm just starting to have second thoughts," Jessamon said.

"Second thoughts about trying to save the digital world?" Saramon asked.

"No… Second thoughts about whether or not we're actually doing any good on this silly quest of ours," she said.

"We're doing the right thing Jessa. You just have to have faith. We're in this together… as friends and as a team," Ianumon said.

"Well said Ianu," Kimamon smiled.

Ianumon smiled slightly and continued on in silence.

Mattamon

I was glad to have my sister here with me now. We'd always been very close and she meant a lot to me. When we got out of the palace I noticed that I was able to send thoughts to her. Not just any thoughts thank goodness. Just the thoughts I wanted her to hear. I was now able to communicate through her to the others. We chatted as we walked. To the others it seemed to be a one sided conversation. Every once and a while one of them would glace at her like she'd gone mad.

'Ianumon's acting a bit weird,' I thought to her.

"Well I wouldn't know since I haven't known him long enough," Andreamon whispered.

'He seems so determined all of a sudden,' I thought.

"I don't know… Maybe he's realizing that time is running out?" Andreamon suggested.

'Perhaps,' I nodded.

"Torpedo net!" came a voice all of a sudden from behind us.

I turned to see what was happening just in time to see several nets come at us. Too late to react. We where trapped. I struggled to get free then noticed that Ianumon wasn't with us in the nets.

'Ianumon's still free,' I thought to my sister.

She nodded but said nothing so she wouldn't let the enemy know what we did.

"I caught the illusive digimon of light. I'm gonna be rewarded big time," the digimon gloated as he jumped down from the tree he'd been hiding in.

He was not much bigger then we where with guns mounted on his shoulders. He was a robot type digimon.

"They call me Robomon. My special attack, Techno storm, will blow you away," the digimon said introducing himself.

"What do you want?" Saramon said in a slightly quivering voice.

I'd noticed over time that she wasn't the most brave of digimon but she did care and would help as best she could no mater what.

"I want to bring all of you to mistress Leighamon," the digimon announced.

'Chaos Leighamon,' I growled in my mind.

"Sorry Robobutt, but we've got more important things to do right now," came a voice from the trees.

'Ianumon,' I thought as a grin spread across my face.

"Blue beam!" Ianumon shouted from the shelter of the trees. All of a sudden a blast of blue energy came at Robomon. He wasn't quick enough and soon disappeared in a cloud of pixels.

"And another one turns to dust," Jayjmon sang a made up parody of "Another one bites the dust."

We laughed as Ianumon removed the nets and freed us.

'Thanks Ianumon,' I thought.

"Matta says thanks Ianumon," Andreamon said for me.

"No problem. Now lets get going. We've lost valuable time," Ianumon said.

I was a bit shocked, as where many of the others, but I followed.

Jackiemon

I walked up so I was next to Ianumon. He'd been acting weird ever since he awoke this morning and I wanted to know why. He seemed to know where he was going for some reason. He never once changed his mind about which way to go like he did before. I stayed quiet for a little while just watching him. He soon looked over at me as if asking why I was staring.

"What's going on?" I finally asked in a whisper so that the others didn't hear.

"Nothing. I just think we need to hurry," Ianumon replied.

I shook my head not believing, "You're acting strangely and everyone's starting to question your sanity."

"I'm as sane as can be," he said quietly looking a bit hurt then sighed and turned to look at me, "I had… I had this dream."

"About?" I whispered back.

"It kept saying that it was time and that we need to seek the layer of darkness," he replied.

"What does that have to do with anything? It was just a dream," I said.

"But it also said that I would know where to go," Ianumon said looking towards the ground, "Maybe I am losing it."

"And you think you know where to go?" I asked.

"I feel like I'm getting closer every minute. It's like something is pulling me," he said.

I stopped walking and stared at him. I'd heard of this kind of thing before. It happened rarely but it wasn't unheard of.

He looked back at me and stopped as well. The others stopped wondering what was going on.

"You're a seer."
