Chapter 14
~Koichi's POV~
"What just happened here?" Neemon asked, while each one of us stared at the wasteland before us. Everything was shattered into debris. In the middle of all the dust and remains was a giant black hole that has been burnt to its limit.
"Someone must've got off the wrong side of the bed today." Takuya commented. "Man, this place is a mess!"
"That's kind of obvious." Koji said. "Whoever attacked this village must be powerful."
"Oh my, how awful!" Bokomon wiped a tear off his eye. "All those poor Digimons."
"Yeah," Tommy looked around at the horrid scene. "Where's Patamon?" he noticed.
Bokomon realizing that his baby was gone called out frantically after him. "Patamon! Where are you???"
"I'm here Papamon!!!!!" His voice shot across the ground. "I found some people.
"There's still alive?"
"Let's go then."
The whole gang, including Koji and I ran towards the direction of Patamon's voice and no sooner did we come across a clear isle where a couple of Digimons remain.
"Are you guys ok?" I asked.
"Do we look like we're ok?" A purple Impish looking Digimon with an red bandana responded sharply.
"Oh look what we have here, a mini Koji." Takuya joked, and Koji glared at him.
"Don't be so rude Impmon!" A feminine pink version of Impmon with a yellow bandana said, and turned to us. "Sorry, he's like that. I'm Elfmon." She returned politely.
"And here's mini Zoe." Neemon repeated the joke.
"You're right she does sound like Zoe."
"At least the Zoe we know." Koji muttered.
Ok, maybe they shouldn't have said that.
"So do you guys know who attacked you?" Patamon asked.
"It was this girl, she looked like human, she had wings, and her clothes were purple and white, and she has this staff. Every time she attacks she left a mark." All the Digimon nodded in agreement in what Elfmon said. All of them turned around to show us a deep purple, almost black imprint of a symbol. The symbol of the Wind.
"I should've guess," Koji answers bitterly. "JetSilphymon."
"You're jumping ahead here, maybe it could be someone."
"Someone else? I doubt it. Who else controls the element of Wind?"
"Why would she attack your village?" I questioned, hinting Takuya to get off the topic.
"She wanted our data, and she was with another Digimon, a blue one, and her name was Ran-, Ran-."
"Ranamon?" Tommy suggested.
"Yeah, Ranamon and the Purple one said that the data would restore her lost strength."
"Lost strength?"
"She's almost the most powerful Digimon I've met, why would she be losing strength?" Koji inquired almost in concern. I can see he still cares for her more than anything.
"Maybe she didn't eat very well, or sleep." Neemon said.
"Of course not Neemon! Someone like her would definitely have the sense to be able to fill her own stomach, and rest! Unlike someone here." Bokomon responded curtly.
"Hey, who are you talking about?!"
"Isn't obvious I'm talking about you?"
"She said something about being able to defend herself against lord Cherubimon." A Floramon provided, interrupting yet another fight between the two. "And something about Spirits."
"Defend herself against Cherubimon?" JP scratched his head in puzzlement. "Why?"
"And she's got to be talking about the Spirits of the Legendary Warriors." Bokomon pointed out.
"I'm guessing that Cherubimon was punishing her for not getting the Spirits from us." I told them my theory. "He does not forgive people easily for their mistakes, and if he gets mad enough he might scan her and take the data." I glanced worriedly at Koji. How is my brother taking all this in?
"But won't he end up having no reinforcement?"
"Um, I don't think he cares, cuz he almost killed me when I was still Duskmon." I made clear.
"So, in other words we have no way out of this?" koji looked at me. Clearly he wanted the truth. His eyes were so pleading, yet fierce.
"No we don't," I sighed, giving in. "Unless we find a way to get Zoe back as soon as possible."
"Which might as well be called Mission Impossible," he sighs, now all the hopes in him has lifted. Way to go Koichi.

~JetSilphymon's POV~
"Hurricane Abyss!" The tip of my staff barely touched the mountainside and in seconds the great structure crashed down. What joyful sight of destruction.
"Um, JetSilphymon dear don't you think we should stop now, Cherubimon won't be happy if you tear up the whole Digital World for those pipsqueaks." Ranamon glanced nervously.
"I do not need you to remind me." I replied coldly. But I was getting tired of all the data scanning; perhaps I should stop there. Without another thought I made a swift landing at the lakeshore.
It is utterly foolish to think that Lord Cherubimon is untrustworthy. Only weaklings like that frog would fear and back away from his mighty power, and I am his creation. But it is good to have back up, because you never know, besides gaining strength and power is never a bad thing.
The breezes slowly flicked the water and it sounded quiet waves splashing up. I walked over and checked myself in the mirror-like surface.
Suddenly the image was flickered by the distilled water and when it was fully assembled again, my reflection was gone, in place was of a human girl with golden hair and emerald eyes.
I gasped and back away instantly in alert. Were my eyes playing tricks on me? Why was the girl in my reflection? I have never met her before, yet she looked so familiar.
"What's wrong sugar, scared of your own reflection," Ranamon swinged down from the branches and smirked lightly.
"I am NOT sugar, and that matter is not your concern." I snapped. How dare she spy on me! As I walked away, the human girl popped into my mind constantly, and I have a feeling that I'm missing a part of me. Who am I? I'm not sure anymore.
~*~*~*~*~
"Why do I have to be stuck with HIM?" JP grumbled behind me.
I guess he meant it to not be heard.
"Quit complaining, do you think I like this any better than you?" I shot back and started walking away.
Probably after realizing that I just heard him, he started moving.
"I never said I wasn't coming!" he quickly caught up to me and desperately gasped for air.
"You need exercise." I laughed at his sheepish expression.
"Thanks for the compliment." He remarked sarcastically.
Then, seeing that there won't be more conversation between us, I went back to my thoughts.
I was so stupid in believing that we come to this world and would defeat Cherubimon on our own, with the Spirits of the legendary Warriors. We, or I couldn't even save our own friend. I really don't want to know what is going to happen to us. Everyone else is saying not to give up, but I know they're desperate too. I'm supposed to be the pessimist of the group, what could we possibly do to get Zoe back? She forgot all about us.and me.
"Hey, look there's a meat apple tree!" JP's voice interrupted my mind, but it was time for me to snap out of it anyway, so I followed him the newfound target without complaint. Fine with me if he wants to lead, I just hope he doesn't put us in danger.
Suddenly my heart gave a jolt and I was sensing a strong presence, in this area. A very familiar one too. Forgetting about the food and JP, I ran towards the direction where it came from and ran blindly into the dark forest.
