"Bokomon?" Izumi asked.
"Yeah?" Bokomon replied.
"If we ride this trailmon, how long would it take us to get there?"
"Probably about two days."
Izumi nodded then looked around, Bokomon, Sapphire, Emerald, were in the same room with her.
Emerald stood up then headed to the door. "Emerald where are you going?" Sapphire asked.
Emerald smiled, "You stay here, I just want to look around."
"I wanna go with you."
"Sapphire, I'm just going to look around."
Sapphire nodded then said, "Okay."
Emerald opened the door then left. Emerald looked around to see who were in the room, Sakura, Neehmon, Syoaran, and Junpi were in it. She walked across the room toward the other door. She opened it and went inside. In it were Kouichi, Kouji, Takuya, and Tomoki. She walked toward the bench where Kouichi and Kouji were talking.
"Hi!" Emerald greeted.
"Hi," Kouichi greeted back.
Kouji stood up then said, "I'm going to ask Takuya something." He walked toward Takuya and said something Kouichi and Emerald couldn't hear.
"Emerald, do you want something?" Kouichi asked.
Emerald shook her head then said, "Nothing." She sat on the bench then looked at the window. "This world is really different, but . . ."
"But what?" Kouichi asked.
"I feel like I've been here before."
"Maybe you have."
Emerald's bright emerald eyes traveled from the window to Kouichi's dark blue eyes then said, "If I did, then how come I don't remember?"
"Maybe something or someone erase it from you mind. It was able to erase it but it wasn't able to erase your feeling of it, so you feel like you've been here before even though your mind doesn't have a memory of it."
Emerald nodded then looked back outside through the window, "I . . ."
"What is it?"
Emerald shook her head again then smiled and said, "Never mind."
~*~Kouji~*~
"Takuya," Kouji said.
"Yeah?" Takuya asked.
Kouji looked at him then asked, "I'm just wondering about everything that had happened, who do you think these new evils are and what do you think they're planning?"
"I have no idea, I've never even thought about that, but I'm sure Ohpanimon or someone have an answer."
Kouji sighed then said, "I should have expected an answer like that from you. Why did I even bother to ask?"
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing."
~*~Night 9:27~*~
Tomoki, Neehmon, Takuya, Bokomon, Sakura, Junpi, Sapphire, and Kero were already sleeping.
The ones that were still awake were together in one room.
"Maybe we should go to sleep too," Kouichi said.
"Not sleepy," Kouji said.
Syoaran remained silent.
"I'm not really sleepy either," Emerald said.
"Same for me," Izumi said.
Nobody talked after that, then Syoaran stood up then walked toward the door that leads to the room where the others were sleeping and said, "I'm going to sleep."
The others nodded. Then after a few minutes still nobody talked. Izumi got tired of the silence and decided that sleeping was better than sitting not doing anything. She left the room and went to sleep.
Soon it was eleven forty-nine, Kouji had already gone to sleep and Kouichi and Emerald were the only ones left that were awake. Soon Kouichi felt sleepy and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
Emerald shook her head then said, "You go ahead, I think I'll stay awake for a few more minutes."
"Okay," Kouichi walked toward the other room to sleep.
Emerald was thinking how this world fells so familiar all of a sudden, but she doesn't know why. She had never been there before not even in her dreams.
After a few minutes the door opened and Takuya came out from it.
"Hi," Emerald greeted.
Takuya looked up then asked, "You're still awake?"
"Yeah, I was just thinking about something."
"You're just like Kouji. You both think a lot."
"Why are you awake?"
"It wasn't my choice."
"What happened?"
"Junpi, woke me up and it's not because his snoring."
Emerald chuckled and was about to ask how but decided not to.
"Were you thinking about the evil digimons?"
Emerald shook her head then asked, "why?"
"That's what Kouji was thinking."
Emerald nodded then asked, "Your last name is Kanbara, right?"
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
"I guessed."
"You guessed?"
Emerald nodded and said, "With the help of this," she pointed at the emerald gem in her neckless, "and this," she continued and hold up the Wood card. "I also saw when you and the others were here last time and I kind of understand why Kouichi always wants to leave Izumi and Kouji together but from what I saw it seems that she likes you more."
"Wait, what are you talking about? And who likes me?"
Emerald smiled then said, "Never mind."
"Tell me."
"Can't."
"Why?"
"You'll have to figure it by yourself."
"Right, so if you can see at the past, can you see other things also? Like what and who are these new evil and what do they want?"
Emerald shook her head then said, "My powers are limited, I can only see things I am allowed."
"What do you mean?"
"It's hard to explain."
"Okay, I'm going back to sleep."
Emerald looked at the past for a few more minutes then decided to go to sleep with the others.
~*~Morning 9:13~*~
Takuya woke up and looked around, Tomoki, Sakura, Sapphire, Junpi, and Neehmon were still asleep. Kero was awake and sitting by Sakura. He seems angry.
Takuya left the room to where the others are, Izumi and Bokomon were still eating while Kouji, Kouichi, Syoaran, and Emerald were just sitting in the bench.
Takuya took out some of his food and decided to eat. "Hey, what's wrong with Kero?"
"Sakura told us not to let him in here until she's awake," Izumi answered.
"Why?"
"She said he might eat all the food."
"How can something that little eat all of the food?"
"I donno know but that's what Sakura told me."
"Oookaaay." Takuya started eating.
A few minutes later Junpi came out and eat. A few minutes after that Tomoki, Neehmon, and Sakura with Kero came out. Sakura didn't want to wake up yet but Kero forced her to wake up so he can eat and that ended up waking up the others too. After a few more minutes, Sapphire still didn't come out.
"Is Sapphire still sleeping?" Izumi asked the four that just came out.
"No, she wasn't there when we woke up," Tomoki answered.
"Maybe she's in the other room," Emerald said.
"I'll go look for her," Takuya said. Takuya had already finished eating. He got up and walked toward the door. He looked around the room where they had been sleeping. Sapphire wasn't there so he walked toward the next door.
He looked around. Sapphire was there. She didn't seem to know that Takuya had just entered the room. She was looking through the window.
"Hey! Sapphire. Aren't you hungry?" Takuya asked walking toward her.
Sapphire looked at him then shook her head.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing," Sapphire answered, but it wasn't in her usual hyper voice, it was deep and emotionless.
"Are you okay? You don't sound like Sapphire."
Sapphire stared at him then smiled and said, "I'm gonna eat," her voice was back to her usual hyper voice.
"I thought you said you weren't hungry?"
"I'm not, but that doesn't mean I don't have to eat."
"Okay."
"I changed my mind. I'm not going to eat."
"Why?"
"Because I'm not hungry."
"Then why- never mind."
"Emerald was saying a lot of strange things last night, and she won't tell what it means," Takuya said.
"She always does that, but I got use to it and sometimes I even figured out some of it."
"Really? Can you tell me what she meant?"
"What did she said?"
Takuya thought back at what Emerald said last night then said, "She said she was looking at the past, the time when got here in the first time. Then she said that she kind of understands why Kouichi always wants to leave Kouji and Izumi together. The last part was the most confusing, she said, "but from what I saw it seems she likes you more,". So do you know what she means?"
"The last part is easy, it means that she thinks Izumi likes you more than Kouji," Sapphire said while smiling.
"???"
"It means she likes you," Sapphire said still smiling.
"Maybe you got that wrong."
"I didn't."
"What about the other part?"
"Kouichi wants to leave Kouji and Izumi together because he knows that Kouji likes Izumi."
"Does Izumi like Kouji?"
Sapphire shrugged and said, "I donno. Do you like her?"
"I don't know."
Sapphire nodded then walked toward the door, "Come on the others are probably wondering what took you too long to find me."
"How'd you know, I came here to find you?"
"Why else would you be here?"
They walked toward the room where the others are. When they got there, Junpi asked, "Hey, what took you too long?"
"See told you," Sapphire said.
"Told him what?" Junpi asked.
"Nothing."
Throughout the rest of the ride Takuya wondered about what Sapphire said. When they finally arrived at the Forest Terminal, they all came out of the trailmon and followed Bokomon in the forest.
When they arrived at the castle, they wondered how they're suppose to get in.
"Does anybody remember how we got in last time?" Izumi asked.
"That was three years ago, how could we remember?" Takuya answered.
Then suddenly the door opened and inside was Ohpanimon.
Ohpanimon invited them in. They walked toward a room with a table and couches. They sat on them and asked Ohpanimon what was going on.
"There's a new evil to face and it's a lot stronger. I don't know much about it either but I'll you what know," Ohpanimon said, then she continued. "First I'll start with your missing beast spirits. They had somehow stolen them but you can still get them again, they are all scattered in the digital world."
"How about my Clow Cards?" Sakura asked.
"Yes, the magical items, they are on the hand of the enemy, so the only way to get it back is if all of you defeat these new evil and the only way is to get the other four spirits."
"Find the other four spirits? You mean the spirit of Earth, Water, Wood, and Steel?" Kouji asked.
Ohpanimon nodded then said, "Sakura, Emerald, Sapphire, and Syoaran are able to get these spirits."
"So they're legendary warriors too?" Tomoki asked.
"No, the legendary warriors are the ones you have defeated but they can get those spirits with the help of Sakura's cards that didn't disappear."
"What do you mean? And how?" Syoaran asked.
"Emerald had already demonstrated a power she can use with the help of her emerald gem, Sakura's Wood card, and the trees that surrounded all of you. They will all get one of those spirits but they won't be the same digimons." Ohpanimon answered then said, "Those are the only things I know so far."
"So where's Seraphymon and Cherubimon?" Izumi asked.
Ohpanimon frowned then stood up and said, "Follow me." They followed her to a different room. The room was empty except for two boxes made in class in the middle of the room. Inside of the boxes were two digi-eggs.
"They were defeated. I was able to escape with their digi-eggs. I brought them here and put them in those boxes. Those boxes are unbreakable, nothing can break it until the eggs hatched."
