File Island looked like a tiny speck on the distant horizon through the
binoculars held by a young woman with pale skin and long platinum blond
hair, which was braided in two braids that hung down her back. She lowered
the binoculars from her violet eyes and squinted in the bright sunlight.
"We need to get there, and we have no way to get there because Whamon still hasn't appeared." She turned around and went to a large tree that was providing shade in a large area. She sat down on the ground, her long braids swinging around her as she sat and then leaned against the tree. She had just closed her eyes when something fell on her from in the tree. She yelled and looked up, directly into the iridescent eyes of Kyrenomon. The girl laughed as her Digimon partner dropped to the ground beside her.
"Well, where have you been? I hope you haven't been tormenting those poor kids and their partners too much."
Kyrenomon purred and looked her partner over. Her large violet eyes were happy, finally, but they had a touch of the familiar sadness that was there when they were in the digital world. Her long silvery hair was laying across the ground, making two little silver rivers in the long grass. She wore dark blue flared jeans and a shirt with an off the shoulder neckline and bell sleeves. A short silver chain with a blue crystal moon that had an iridescent crystal star attached to it hung from the chain. Silver studs lined her ears, three on the left and two on the right. She wore a silver ring with a dark red garnet in it, and a bracelet with many charms on it. Kyrenomon rubbed her head against her partner's arm, looking like an oversized house cat for a moment.
"Well, as long as you weren't torturing anyone."
"I was being good Crystalin. I only chased Gatomon."
Crystalin turned and looked at Kyrenomon. "You didn't! WHY did you do that??" She put her hands on her hips and looked at Kyrenomon for a moment.
Kyrenomon crouched down ad looked up at her, trying to appear sweet and innocent. "You said test them however I want as long as I don't hurt them. I not going to hurt her. I just want to make double sure that she is ready. Her and Kari ARE the most important ones. They have to be able to do it."
Crystalin sighed. "You're right. Just don't scare her too much. If you do she wont listen to us. And I will talk to Kari. For now, leave Gatomon alone. Find someone else to test, but be nice about it. I have to go and see about bringing the newest team of DigiDestined here. That will be a challenge." Crystalin walked off as Kyrenomon jumped back into the branches of the tree. She watched Crystalin walk off, and noticed the slight drag in her partner's step. She wished she could help Crystalin feel better, but she wasn't sure how to.
Far off in the woods, Tai and Kari were walking with Matt, Sora and TK, looking for fruit to bring back to the camp they had set up with Izzy, Mimi, Joe, Yoli, Cody, Ken and Davis. Patomon, Gatomon, Agumon, Gabumon and Biyomon were walking behind them. Gatomon was telling the rest about her encounter with Kyrenomon, and Kyrenomon's strange disappearance.
"It's like she just vanished into thin air. Kari didn't see her when she was looking for me. And I heard her voice when I was walking to where Kari was standing. She said 'Watch out for me little Gatomon, you have a lot to learn and I know it all.' I have no idea what she meant."
Biyomon and the others just looked at Gatomon. From what Kyrenomon had said to Gatomon, it wasn't the last she would see of the mysterious black Digimon. All of them hoped they wouldn't have to see Kyrenomon themselves.
Kari turned and looked at the Digimon, who were walking along in a close group. She wondered what they were talking about but was stopped in her thoughts when she ran smack into the back of Matt. She was about to say something when she looked over his shoulder and saw a tall girl with long silver hair standing in the path in front of them. She had large violet eyes that appeared iridescent. She held up her hand, and Kari and the others saw a strange Digivice there. It looked a little like the D3's the second team had, and a little like a personal computer. Kari noticed something displayed on the screen. She gasped in surprise when she finally made it out. The Crest of Light, her crest, was displayed on the strange Digivice's screen, but it was a little different. The flower that made up her crest was part of a crescent moon with a star next to it, between the points of the moon. The girl looked directly at Kari, making eye contact with Kari, then crouched down and jumped into the trees, where she disappeared. Kari stood there shaking, not moving and not noticing the others talking to her. Finally TK had to kiss Kari to get her to snap out of it. They both blushed a little, as they had just recently finally become a couple, and then TK asked her why she froze.
"I don't know. When she made eye contact with me, it was weird. She has my crest. But she has the first. And when she looked at me. I felt cold, and so. alone. I cant explain it. It was strange."
TK looked at Kari with worry on his face for a moment, then turned to Tai. "Do you know who that was?"
Tai looked at TK for a minute before he answered. "No, I don't. But something about her feels familiar. Her face looked familiar too. I cant explain it. I don't know."
They stood around for a moment before going back to the camp where everyone else waited.
Later on that night, after everyone had eaten and all the DigiDestined were relaxing, Kari went and sat near the edge of the camp to think. The girl she had seen that day was strange and yet familiar. And why did she have Kari's crest? Kari couldn't figure out what was going on, and she wished she could. Gatomon had been talking about a strange black Digimon that had chased her through the forest earlier. Could that Digimon and the girl with the silver hair be connected? Kari put her hands on her forehead and leaned back against the tree, sighing. She couldn't figure this out, and it was going to bother her.
You know, sitting so far off from your camp is asking for trouble." A female voice whispered in Kari's ear. Kari turned around and found herself again staring into large violet eyes. She jumped and slid back a foot or two, studying the girl crouched on the ground behind the tree. Her face was very familiar to Kari, but her eyes were what held Kari's attention. They were happy and heartbroken all at once. Kari looked at her for a few minutes before speaking.
"Who are you? And why do you have my crest? And why are you sneaking up on me?! Answer me!" Kari's face was full of anger, but the girl just sat there and looked at her calmly, not showing any care for Kari's anger.
"I am who I am. You all have a lot to learn and not much time to learn it in. I only hope you can learn it quickly. As for a name, as I know you want mine; I will leave you with the only name I am willing to give. You may call me Crystalin, but do not tell any of the others my name. I have eyes and ears in the Digital world, and I will know if you tell them anything. All you need to know about me is that I am here and I'm the only one who knows why the rest of you were brought here." Kari looked at Crystalin for a moment, then had to try very hard from not yelling when the DigiDestined girl disappeared right before her eyes.
"We need to get there, and we have no way to get there because Whamon still hasn't appeared." She turned around and went to a large tree that was providing shade in a large area.
