Chapter 10

~Jet Silphymon's POV~

Of all the other rotten Digimons I could be stuck with, I have to go with her. That insolent frog. If it weren't for Cherubimon's orders I would have already scanned her data long time ago. She's way behind me, slowing the whole journey, rolling my eyes, I turned around.

"Are you born stupid or what? I told you to go faster!" I growled.

"But I thought leaders were supposed to walk at the front." She replied mockingly.

"That frog brain really gets on my nerves. So I raised my staff and pointed at her.

"You know I should really try out my new body." I said.

I could see the sweat on her forehead. Reluctantly she picked up her paces and got to the front.

"There's a good little doggy," I smirked.

"Why you." she begin.

"I what?" I interrupted. Raising my staff again. "Don't forget, I could scan you right now. Cherubimon will just utter a couple of words and forget all about you. You have absolutely no use for anyone. So actually try to be useful."

Apparently, my spectacular talk had left Ranamon speechless. She frowned greatly and continued walking.

~Koji's POV~

My head is pounded with questions. Why did she disappear? Does it have anything to do with the dream? I'm having the feeling that she's close by me. I'm going crazy I know.

Koichi nudged me gently.

"Koji, are you OK?" he asked in concern.

"Yeah," I insisted. "I just have a little head ache." It was the truth, all the thinking was giving me a huge headache.

"No way," Takuya said, surprised. "You? Having a headache?"

"Takuya, I'm a human, like you. And every human get sick sometimes. Get your brain working Goggle-Boy." I retorted.

"Well sorry," he replied. "It's just hard imagining you being sick."

I was about to return a clever comeback when Koichi stopped me. "If you're having a headache, you should rest and don't think about anything else." He said firmly.

"Sorry, but I can't" I said, my mood suddenly dropping to -350.

"Thinking about Zoe?" Koichi whispered.

I nodded my head. Then I signed.

"Where are you Zoe?" My heart cried.

~Koichi'sPOV~

Koji's sick.

Heart sick, not Love sick.

And only Zoe's safe return could heal him.

Which I doubt will be any sooner.

He laid his head back onto the edge of the window and moaned.

Just as I was about to say something to him, Angler skid to a stop. It was so sudden we almost got thrown down onto the floor, which would've been very painful.

"What's the big idea?" JP screeched, caressing his injured head.

"Why are we stopping, Angler?" Takuya questioned.

"Sorry, but someone blasted a hole in the middle of the trail, I can't move!

Then another explosion was heard and it shook the whole train, including us.

"Oh, dear," Angler cried.

All of us quickly ran out to see what was happening, and came face to face with Ranamon and a Digimon that looked a lot like the mix of Kazemon and Zephrymon. Ranamon, however, was sitting down on a huge rock, closing her eyes. The other Digimon had her staff raised, so I guess she had caused the explosions.

"Who are you?" Takuya demanded.

For a idiot you sure have a lot of questions." Was her reply. Well one thing for sure, she's definitely not our friend.

"Why you." Takuya raised his fist.

I looked at Koji. He was examining curiously at her.

"Anyways, getting on with life," She continued. "My mission here is to destroy you and bring your spirits to Master Cherubimon."

"Oh really, I guess you'll have to go home empty-handed." JP answered.

"Everyone, spirits evolve!" Takuya ordered.

I took out my D-Tector. So did JP, Tommy. But Koji was still standing there, with a questioning gaze.

"Koji!"

"Huh? Oh right."

Light engulfed everything around and few seconds later appeared again, fully transformed into Digimons. Agunimon, Lobomon, Beetlemon, Kumamon, and Lowemon, me.

The beautiful yet dark winged creature laughed. "You think with your measly little spirits could beat me? Don't forget the all-powerful Cherubimon created me and his powers are with in me! Wind of Darkness!" she cried, declaring the start of the battle.

At least Koji is clear minded enough to doge the attack that was aimed directly at him. For some reason, he was as fighting-spirited as he usually is.
