Digimon: The Matrix Saga Chap.11
There's nothing to fear, but fear itself!

The group had soon stopped traveling, searching for Plasmon, and rested. It soon began to get dark, so they started up a fire.
"sigh," went Elise. "What do these warp-hole digimon want with us?"
"The watches," went Gouji. "Obviously, Plasmon had sent these digimon to come destroy us and take our watches. He wants the the cores."
"But where could these digimon be coming from?" asked James.
Gouji got quiet to think. Everyone sat in suspense. They wanted an answer.
"I think that these holes are doors to other worlds. And the Digimon are coming from there."
"Other worlds?" said James in confusion. He then remembered back to the time where Monodramon had explained to him the origin of the Digital World. "I know where these digimon are coming from."
"You do?" asked the rest of the group.
"Monodramon. Remember what you explained to me?"
"Yes."
"There were two computer that spawned many digital worlds. Maybe these 'Warp-Holes' are doors to these other Digital Worlds."
"Exactly, James!" exclaimed Gouji. "Plasmon is recruiting digimon from the other worlds."
"I have a question," asked Floramon. "Why do the warp-holes always explode when the digimon go back into them?"
Gouji remembered back to when he was in school.

FLASHBACK........

"Now class," said Mr. Rokaku. "Now Warp-Holes, Black holes, and worm holes, all are created by a tear in the space. Only an explosion can of great power can force the space to bend and create a hole."
Gouji continued writing down notes. He was real interested to hear this. Everyone else in the class seemed bored.
"When something passes through the hole, if one were manage to survive the travel, they would come out the other side. But they cannot go back through. it is a one way trip, so if one were to go back through the hole, then they will not be able to survive the trip, causing them to be torn into many tiny particles, and the hole will soon colapse, causing it to spontaneously combust."

END FLASHBACK......

"They can't go back through," said Gouji. "They already seemed to survive the trip, but going through it again will tear them apart and cause the hole to explode."
"I think I understand," said James.
As they talked, another Warp-Hole had opened up again.

Meanwhile......

"Now let me see how they fair against they're worst fears! Phobistmon better not fail, or else!"

Meanwhile......

After they got all of there facts straight, James soon got real quiet. He had alot on his mind. Mostly they had to do with Ogremon.
"What's wrong, James?" asked Monodramon. He seemed worried.
"Nothing really. I was just thinking about Ogremon. i can't seem to help the fact that I am the cause of all this. I never thought that something like this would happen again."
"What do you mean, 'again'?" asked Elise.
"Well, back home, before I moved to the new town, I was friends with a boy named Tom. We were the best of friends, until the time when we went exploring one day in the nearby woods. He brought along his lifelong friend, Savior, the dog. When we got there, we saw this snake. its vicousiousness had scared me, and then I ran. I then realized I had left my griends behind, so I went back, but when I got there, the snake had killed Savior. Ever scince then, he has hated me and threatened numerous times to fight me and make me pay."
"Although I really despise dogs," began elise. "I feel real sorry for Savior."
"Why don't you like dogs?" asked Kokuwamon.
"Well, when I was young, my folks had taken me to a pet store. that day, there had been sightings of people wearing wolf masks at night and scaring little kids. After we had went into the store, I bought a dog, hoping it would protect me from the Wolfmen. I thought that they were real wolfmen. Well, that night, my dog ran off cause he heard something, when I went after him, I saw the wolfmen with my dog. Then they sicked him on me. It left a brutal scar."
"Can we see it?" asked gouji.
"I'd rather not show you where it is."
"Sorry. I know what you mean by 'brutal scar'," said gouji. "I too was left with a brutal scar, but one you can't see. When I was a baby, my dad left me and my mother alone. When I was 7 my mother had passed away, due to a brain desease that affected her when she was 18. When I was adopted, thats when I too was diagnosed with the problem, so when I found out that I had only 5 years to live, I ran away. But soon i was found by a doctor, then he adopted me and did surgery on me, now looks like I'm still going to live."
"That is so sad Gouji," said Kokuwamon. "I'm so sorry."
"It's perfectly fine with me."
"I'm starting to feel homesick," said James. "I think maybe I should go to bed, like Prairiemon."
Prairiemon was knocked out snoring. Soon, everyone fell asleep.

As they slept, the warp-hole that presided in the sky had opened wider, as a digimon had come out. He was dressed in a black cloak. His face was all cover by the shadows. All that could be seen was his eyes. He then walked over to the gang as they slept.
"Hehehehehehehe!" He then vanished into a purple mist, and the mist had entered into the humans mind.

Later.....

James walked and walked. He looked around. he was back home, in his old town. He thought that everything was over, and that he was sent back home, along with Monodramon.
"Where is Monodramon?" he asked. He looked around and saw the townfolk walking around, some rode on horse carrages. He saw everyone he remembered, but no Monodramon. "Where could he be?"
As he continued to walk, searching for his partner, a small brown dog ran up to him. James looked at the dog. He bent down to pet it. As the dog started to shake and kick his leg in pleasure, James noticed something. Something very wrong. His collar had a very familiar name on it.
[i]It couldn't be! Could it?[/i]

Meanwhile.......

Elise sat up. She looked around, and saw that everyone was still sleeping. Prairiemon was snoring real loud.
"How can they sleep through this?"
Rustle! Rustle! Elise turned around. She loked. She had heard something. Or someone. She stood up. As she cotinued to look into the woods, Elsie began to get scared.
"Who-wh-who's there?" she asked. she then moved closer to the woods, to see what was there. Nothing. "Phew! There goes my worst case scenario!"
She then turned around, and froze. There it was. Standing right in front of here face. Breathing. Living. Growling.

Meanwhile.......

Gouji opened his eyes. he saw a light. A bright light. He squinted his eyes, and looked at his suurounding. He noticed a bunch of doctor tools. Then he turned to see who it was that was standing over him wearing a surgen's mask. The man pulled off his mask, and revealed hiself.
"Yo-you-you- are my stepdad. But what Am I doing strapped to this operating be......"
He soon froze. Saw his stepfather holding a scalpul. It sharper than anything he's ever seen before. He then turned his head again, and saw two people that he thought he'd never see again.....

Meanwhile......

"SAVIOR!" shouted James. he thought that he would be happy to see him again, but wasn't. He should not be here. "No! This cannot be! But how......."
His sentence was cut short as he noticed the ground somewhat shaking. He looked around, and everyone was frozen. They would not move. James looked further on, and could not believe his eyes. A gigantic snake was approaching him.
[i]No! This isn't possible! This is just one terrible dream.[/i]
"Your right about this being a dream," said a voice. James looked around, and soon figured out it was coming from Savior! "But it's not terrible. Just a nightmare!"
Savior had jumped from his arms and ran for the snake.
"NOOOOOO! SAVIOR!" James called out for the dog. "Tom will never forgive me!"
Savior then jumped into the motuh of the long reptile. James then turned around and ran, as he saw the snake coming for him.

Meanwhile.....

"NO!" screamed Elise. "It's the Wolfman!"
She turned around and began running through the woods. The wolf beast followed her.
Elise had then wandered back to the camp sight.
"What?" She didn't stop to think, as she continued running back into the woods, but then wounded up right back to the camp sight. "It's never going to end!"
"AAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" howled the wolfman. She turned around and saw him. He then ignored her, and went for Gouji.
"Leave him alone!"
The wolfman, then brutely scratched Gouji, and soon he was morphed into a wolfman as well.
"Hey, sweetheart," said WolfGouji. "How's about a kiss?"
"There is no way I'm kissing someone who drinks out of a toilet!"
"But I have someone else here that says other wise!" WolfGouji then moved aside as a rabid looking dog walked up.
"That's my dog!" said Elise. "This can't be. This is just a night mare! I gotta wake up! WAKE UP!"
Phobistmon watched from atop the trees, laughing.
[i]I won't stop until you all are scared to death![/i]

Meanwhile......

"You guys can't be here!" said Gouji trying to struggle to remove hisself from the bed. "Mom! Dad! No! IT CAN'T BE!"
"Son," said his mother. "Do not worry. The Doctor will help you."
"Yeah old sport," said his father. "Relax."
"NO! I'M NOT RELAXING!"
[i]I have to get out of here![/i]
"Relax," said the doctor as his slacpul soon morphed into a large blade. "Operation time!"
The doctor brought the blade down to his head, luckily, Gouji managed to free his left foot, and kicked the doctor back. Soon, the chains around him were gone and gouji hopped down and ran out the door. When he got out the door, he saw that he was in his old house. He turned around and saw his parents standing right in front of him. Soon he forgot everthing that had happened. He even forgot the fact that his father left him, and his mother was gone. He then ran to his parents and hugged them. They were a family.

Meanwhile......

James soon came up to a dead end. He turned around and saw the snake staring dead in his eyes. The snake then opened his mouth, and outcame Tom.
"Tom?" said James. "Your here?"
"HOW COULD YOU JAMES!" Tom shouted. "We-we-were friends!"
"But i couldn't do a thing! You must forgive me! Please!"
"I will never forgive you for what you've done! NEVER!" Soon, Tom then morphed into Ogremon.
[i]This is it![/i], thought James. [i]I am going to be finished. Tom and Ogremon will have there revenge. [/i]
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" James looked around, wondering where the scream came from.
"That sounds like Elise!" said James. He loked back at OgreTom. "Go ahead. Finish me off. I know the error of my ways and I need to pay. I need to stop running and face my fears."
"WHAT!" shouted OgreTom. "NOOOOOOOO! He has faced his fear!"
Soon, everything began to distort and change. Everything turned black. Then James began to fall.
"OOOOOF!" he said as he landed in the campsight. He looked around and saw Elise, Wolfman and WolfGouji. "What is this?"
The dog then leaped for Elise. She was more scared then anything before.
[i]It's going to happen again![/i]
"ELISE!" called James. "DON'T BE SCARED! IT'S ALL A DREAM! JUST FACE YOUR FEAR AND IT WON'T HURT YOU!"
Elise then centered herself.
[i]He's right. I can do this! The dog can't hurt me![/i]
As the dog got closer, it soon turned into a black mist and blew up. Along with the Wolfman and WolfGouji.
POOF!
"I DID IT!"
"Good Elise! Now we must find Gouji. He could be in catastrophic danger!"

Meanwhile.....

WAM! was the sound that was made as the door to the family's home was kicked open by James and Elise.
"GOUJI!"
"Hey guys! Look! My parents are here! They've been here all along!" said a happy Gouji. "Isn't this great?"
"I'm very sorry Gouji, but these people aren't your parents," said elise. "This is all a......"
"SHUT UP ELISE!" cried Gouji. "These are my parents and we are together as a family!"
"Please Gouji!" said James. "Please listen to us!"
Gouji raised his fist to punch James. When he did this, his fist went through James face.
"You see, Gouji?" asked Elise. "Why do you think you couldn't punch James? Because this is all a dream, and you can't get hurt in dreams!"
Gouji didn't know what to do. He turned back to his parents and noticed that they were beginning to morph. Soon they becam Phobistmon.
"Now that you all are here, I can kill you all! Necrofear!" A dark shadow appeared and flew to the group.
"No! MOM DAD!"
"Gouji! Don't be afraid! It can't hurt you!" screamed James.
They all stood still as the attack went through them.
"NO!" screamed Phobistmon. "You figured me out!"
"You are going to pay!"

Soon the group woke up and looked around. Then a body fell to the ground. It was Phobistmon's. His body soon evaporated into data particles.
"YES! We did it!" said Elise in joy. Soon her and James began to cheer. But then they looked at Gouji. He sat there crying.
"It's okay Gouji," said James. "Everything will be okay."
[i]Look like I was wrong[/i], thought Elise. [i]You can get hurt in dreams.[/i]
