Chapter 5: Explanations
Kayla is back in the apartment about two hours after leaving Matt, Tai, and Sora. She had dressed in normal clothes now, jeans and a long sleeved t-shirt. "Why did you have to go play the hero Jessy?" she asked from the spot where she was leaning beside the door. "I'm sure they could have handled it themselves," she continued, angry about the older boy's actions.
From his place hanging upside down from the ceiling her shook his head. He was still dressed in the black t-shirt and black jeans but he no longer wore the gloves, jacket, or sunglasses. Over the last two hours, shortly after Kayla had arrived back at the apartment, his feet had changed and now were three toed claws, they looked like dragon's feet and were black, leathery, and covered in small metal plates, much like his hands, his feet were now able to grip the ceiling. "There was no way they could have defended themselves against those monster things," he paused ", not at that time anyway."
Kayla was about to respond when there was a knock on the door, she sighed and opened the door then stared at the eleven humans. "Hello," she said ", come in." She stepped aside and held the door open as the digidestined walked into the apartment and find places to sit scattered around the room. It took a minute for the digidestined to notice Jessy, because the ceiling was high. They gasped as they noticed him, hanging upside down watching them with a raised eyebrow. "Perhaps you should come down Jess," she said to him ", it would probably be easier to talk to you."
"I enjoy the feeling of blood rushing to my brain," he replied, but let go of the ceiling anyway and fell to the floor like a rock, landing on his hands and flipping backward onto his feet.
Matt walked up to Jessy and looked up to him, because Jessy was easily taller then him by quite a few inches. "We want some answers," he said. Jessy raised an eyebrow.
"So now you're a impatient liar huh?" Kayla asked walking up to them.
Matt was about to respond but someone walked up behind him and put a hand on his shoulder ", Let me handle this bro." The boy was about eleven or twelve, he had sapphire blue eyes, blond hair the same colour as his brothers, he was almost as tall as Matt, and wore a white bucket hat on his hat. He looked at Kayla and asked ", How about this we'll answer one of your questions then you answer one of ours?"
"Fine by me," Jessy said, Kayla merely nodded. "Who were those two that I fought and how are they involved with you people?" asked Jessy, his arms now folded over his chest.
"They were," he was cut off as a boy with maroon coloured hair that looked like a spiked afro, and had goggles around his forehead walked up.
"Hold it TJ I'm the leader of the group, I'll answer their questions," he said, in a loud and slightly obnoxious voice.
"TJ?" Kayla asked. But before anyone could respond she held up her hands and said ", Okay wait, just so my minds clear," she paused ", Who the hell is everyone?"
A girl around thirteen years of age with long purple hair, big round glasses, and a bandana stood up and said ", My name's Yolie."
Another girl stood, she had brown hair that reached her chin, brown eyes, and a camera around her neck, she must have been around eleven or twelve, was next ", I'm Kari," she paused then added ", Tai's my older brother."
The maroon haired boy, who was also around twelve years of age, said ", I'm Davis the leader of the group," he puffed his chest slightly.
Matt's little brother smiled and said ", My name is TK, obviously I'm Matt's little brother."
A thirteen year old stood up he had black hair that reached down to his chin, he was tall and wore mostly gray ", My name is Ken."
A boy of about nine stood up, his hair was brown in a bowl cut, he bowed and said ", My name is Cody, pleased to meet you."
The next to stand was older then the others, He had black hair down past his chin, almost to his shoulders he wore glasses that reminded Jessy of the ones he had sitting in his room, he was tall and thin ", My name is Joe."
They looked to the last of them, he was short with sort red hair, he didn't seem to realize that they were looking at him waiting for him to say something. He sat typing furiously on his laptop. Sora shook her head ", That's Izzy," he said motioning toward the short red head. Tai looked back at the mutated one and the girl with violet eyes ", Of course you already know Matt and I," he said grinning.
She smirked slightly ", Of course Dumb and Dumber," this received silent laughter from Jessy. She motioned towards the mutant and introduced herself and the other ", He's Jessy and I'm Kayla."
Jessy grinned slightly and fixed Davis with an intense stare, just to make him nervous, and demanded ", Answer our question then."
Davis faltered suddenly unsure under Jessy's gaze he stammered ", Arukenimon and Mummymon." He then retreated back and sat beside Ken. Jessy's smirked victorious, making the annoying one nervous.
Matt walked forward and met the mutants gaze and demanded ", It's our turn," he said and paused briefly ", Where do you two come from?"
"I'm from New Brunswick and Jessy is from British Columbia, both are provinces of Canada," she explained.
Ken suddenly blurted out ", That practically on opposite ends of the continent there's no way that you two are siblings."
Kayla sighed and said ", One question at a time, it's our turn." She looked around the room then asked ", How do you guys know what those monsters are?"
Tai answered this time ", Their Digimon or Digital Monsters," he paused then continued ", They come from the Digital World. We've been dealing with them for years."
Jessy raised a eyebrow and muttered to himself ", A Digital World."
Kayla suddenly blinks, remembering a memory of seeing a large monster in the sky. "I remember seeing one before," she revealed. "It looked like a puzzle or something like that," she paused, trying to remember again ", it was in the sky and it had a lot of arms."
"And there were other kids fighting them and they each had a digimon," Jessy finished, his gaze fell on Tai. "There was also the fight on the Internet," he added.
"Yeah," Kayla said ", and now that I think of it I've seen you four before." She pointed from Tai to Matt to TK to Izzy.
"You've seen both of those fights? Do either of you have a Digivice?" she asked.
Jessy shook his head, but Kayla asked ", A what?" Silently Kari and Tai each held up their digivices. Kayla stares at them then says ", I've seen ones of those before but I don't remember where," she trailed off.
"Interesting," muttered Izzy suddenly. Before Kayla could respond the red head continued ", Everyone of the new Digidestined saw the digimon before hand,' he explained ", if my memory is correct Yolie saw the battle on the Internet." The girl nodded silently.
Kayla concentrated briefly on where she had seen the digivice. "Just before," she paused ", before my Dad crashed the car!" she exclaimed. "I bent down to see what it was, that's all I remember," she looked over at Jessy ", maybe you did have one too Jess."
The winged one shook his head ", I've never had or seen a device like those before, ever."
Before the two could think more on the subject Matt said ", I think it's about time for you to answer another of our questions." Kayla nodded then Matt continued ", I'm interested in Ken's question. Are you two actually related?" he asked.
Kayla glances at Jessy ", No we have never met before this," she paused ", It's basically a cover in case anyone gets suspicious. Besides it was already set up before we arrived. But it works the landlord didn't ask any questions about two Canadian teenagers wandering around Japan without any parents."
Ken back and forth between the two and asked ", Do you have anymore questions for us?"
Kayla was about to shake her head but Jessy suddenly asked ", Do you know of a world that's completely black and gray?"
Kari suddenly turned her head to look at them, TK raised an eyebrow, and Ken's eye's widened in pure shock. "The Dark Ocean?!?!" he gasped.
Kayla smirks and looks over at Jessy and says ", I guessed right." She laughed slightly, but Jessy frowned, silencing her laughter.
Izzy was typing on his laptop and looking up at Jessy, then typing again. As he repeated this process Jessy raised an eyebrow. Finally Izzy asked ", Jessy what exactly are you?"
Jessy didn't respond, he looked deep in thought, Kayla waved a hand in front of his face and said in a annoyed manner ", Yoo-hoo, baka boy, are you in there?"
He finally responded ", Truthfully, I don't know what I am. Not anymore." He looked around the room at the teenagers and other youths ", Are there anymore questions?"
Cody stood up and asked ", Will you help us fight Owikawa and his minions?"
Kayla rubbed the back of her head then replied ", Sure, for a sweet little kid like you," she laughs briefly then continues ", but I don't know what I can do to help you without that digivice. Oh one more thing who is Owikawa?" she asked.
No one answered because they were watching Jessy curiously, his claws were clenched and he was grinning viciously. "I'll help you fight," he growled ", I need some answers."
Everyone was looking at him with a slight mix of fear and doubt, except Kayla who raised a eyebrow, sighed, and said ", Calm down Jackie Chan." The guys in the room raised a eyebrow at the remark and the girls sweatdropped. Jessy however was glaring at Kayla, but then he shrugged. Kayla laughed. Jessy shook his head and began walking toward the kitchen.
Suddenly he doubles over in pain and screams slightly. "What the hell?" Kayla said as his ears grew until they looked like long elf ears, except they were blood red and black, they also looked like they were hard, the bone seemed to be close to the skin. Also his claws seemed to be growing longer and the skin in his forearms became leathery and metal plated, like his hands, the armor reached all the way to his elbows. A bone spike burst out of each elbow area, reaching about a foot in length, they were definitely sharp.
Izzy was already typing furiously on his laptop ", Incredible," he exclaimed.
"Wait," she said suddenly. She thought back to a project she had once done, that was about mythical creatures. "Jessy I think I know what you're turning into a Demon of some kind," she exclaimed.
Jessy looked up at her and blinked and he stuttered ", De. Demon?" He then promptly passed out.
Joe rushed to him and checked his vital signs. After several minutes he stood up and said ", He must have passed out due to the pain," he said with a sigh.
"Either that or he's in shock," Kayla muttered ", the chicken. First he's scared of elevators now he passes out because his arms changed."
"Dude, I'm scared of elevators to," Davis trailed off. Cody gave him an odd look and shuffled away slightly and Yolie smacked him upside the head. TK, Ken, Tai, and Matt all try and hold in their laughter.
After the laughter subsided Kari turned to Kayla and asked ", Kayla I've been meaning to ask you," she paused ", were you come from is it normal for people to have purple eyes?"
Kayla answered ", No my eyes used to be blue but changed when Jess changed into," she paused ", whatever it is he changed into. That's the only thing that changed."
Izzy raised a eyebrow and asked ", Would you mind if I took a look at your eyes quickly?" Kayla nodded and Izzy stood up and looked her in the eye, only a few centimeters away from her face. After a minute he stepped back and said ", Your irises are a shade of dark purple." He walked back to his laptop and began typing again.
Kayla looked at the nearest person, Matt and asked ", Is he always like this?"
"Sadly, yes," the blond responded.
"You know what Matt? You need to take some classes on how to lie properly," Kayla said grinning. Sora and Kari laughed in response to Kayla's words.
"Yeah," agreed Davis ", or else Jun will con you into more dates. a lot more dates."
Matt glared at Davis and commanded ", Silence you."
Kayla looked at Sora with a raised eyebrow and asked ", Do I even want to know?"
TK, who was laughing said ", Not really," he paused then added ", but it is really funny."
Kayla looked from Matt to Davis to TK and finally said ", So what happened? You had to cover something up and that involved lying to this Jun so when you sent Matt to do it. He blew his cover and Jun said she would go along with it if Matt went on a date, or multiple dates with her?"
Matt, his jaw hanging slightly open said ", That's exactly what happened," he paused then turned to Davis and pointed at him ", See if I ever cover for you again Goggle-Head." Davis gulped nervously.
Kayla laughed and said ", You gel-heads should stick together."
The other digidestined laughed, except for Cody who walked up to Kayla and tapped her on the arm, because he couldn't reach her shoulder. When she turned the youngest digidestined said ", Not to be rude or anything but I have to leave to go to Kendo practice and my sensei will be insulted if I am late."
Kayla nodded and said ", Goodbye then Cody." Cody bowed to her then walked out the door. She smiled ", Such a polite little kid," she muttered under her breath.
TK was walking to the door but before he left the blond said ", I better go with Cody. It isn't safe for someone his age to walk around alone." TK looked over at Yolie who seemed to be in her own little world and he asked ", Hey Yolie you going to come? We do live in the same building after all."
Yolie snaps out of her day dream and answers ", Oh yeah, sorry." She walks to the door and turns to Kayla ", Goodbye." TK and Yolie walk out the door and run to catch up with Cody.
Meanwhile Tai is scratching his head and mutters ", I know there was something I had to do today." Suddenly his eyes widen in realization ", Oh shit," he looks over at Kari and says ", Kari please tell me today isn't mom's birthday."
Kari's eyes widen and she says ", Uh-oh."
"You two forgot AGAIN!" Sora exclaimed ", This is the fourth year in a row."
"Shit Kari we still have to get her something for her. Let's go!" he exclaimed before he ran out the door with Kari right behind him.
Sora laughs then looks at her watch ", I better go I have to practice some tennis," she explained ", see you later." With that she walked out the door.
Izzy stood up and closed his laptop ", I better go and try and get in touch with Genaii about this." With that he disappeared out the door.
Kayla sighs and points to the door ", I know what your all going to say," she paused ", so if you have to go just go." Matt and Joe both say goodbye then exit through the door. Only Ken and Davis remain.
Ken looked at Kayla and said ", I'll stay here and explain what I know of the Dark Ocean and the history of the Digidestined. Besides I won't be picked up for another hour or so," he added.
Kayla nodded then looked at the other digidestined ", Davis?" she asked. "Not like I'm kicking you out or anything but are you leaving or staying?"
Davis blinked then looked around the room ", Hey were did everybody go?" Kayla points to the door and Davis yells ", WHAT!? KARI WAIT FOR ME!" With that he ran out of the apartment and down the stairs.
Kayla stared for a moment then blinked. Ken then said ", Looks like it's only you and I," he paused then added ", and Jessy of course."
The teenaged girl looked at Ken and said ", Well I guess you should begin so I know what to expect."
Ken nodded and said ", It's a long story."
A hour and a half later
"And that's the whole story," Ken said ", or at least what I know of it. You'd have to ask some of the others to get the whole thing."
"That's amazing," Kayla muttered ", all the things they've done."
Jessy who is sitting behind them cross legged on the floor, out of their view says ", I'd say."
At the unexpected voice Kayla jumps slightly and screams. Jessy laughs seeing her response, his laugh sounds slightly un-earthy. She glared at him and stuttered in anger ", You, You, You, You."
"I, I, I, I, what?" he asked with mock innocence.
"YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A FUCKING HEART ATTACK!" she screamed, then got up and stamped to her room and slammed the door.
"Well that was odd," muttered Ken as he stood up. "I better go my mom's probably waiting," he walked toward the door and said goodbye to Jessy, who nodded in response, then yelled a goodbye to Kayla, who didn't respond, as he walked past her door.
After a moment Jessy stood up and knocked on Kayla's door ", GO AWAY," she yelled.
Jessy sighed and opened the door. Kayla was sitting on her bed glaring at him, but he walked over and sat beside her. After a moment of silence he apologized ", Look Kayla I'm really sorry for scaring you, I didn't mean to. I'm also sorry for acting like a jerk afterward," he said then slowly stood up and began to walk out of the room.
"Wait," said Kayla ", I'm sorry too. It's just difficult you know, being in this different world without anyone you really know." Kayla looked up at Jessy, no longer glaring ", I think we should try to be more patient with this."
Jessy smiled and nodded then walked out of her room, closing the door slowly. He walked into his room and jumped on his bed, trying to sleep and recover his strength.

Matt walked forward and met the mutants gaze and demanded ", It's our turn," he said and paused briefly ", Where do you two come from?"
"I'm from New Brunswick and Jessy is from British Columbia, both are provinces of Canada," she explained.
Ken suddenly blurted out ", That practically on opposite ends of the continent there's no way that you two are siblings."
Kayla sighed and said ", One question at a time, it's our turn." She looked around the room then asked ", How do you guys know what those monsters are?"
Tai answered this time ", Their Digimon or Digital Monsters," he paused then continued ", They come from the Digital World. We've been dealing with them for years."

Before the two could think more on the subject Matt said ", I think it's about time for you to answer another of our questions." Kayla nodded then Matt continued ", I'm interested in Ken's question. Are you two actually related?" he asked.
Kayla glances at Jessy ", No we have never met before this," she paused ", It's basically a cover in case anyone gets suspicious. Besides it was already set up before we arrived. But it works the landlord didn't ask any questions about two Canadian teenagers wandering around Japan without any parents."
Ken back and forth between the two and asked ", Do you have anymore questions for us?"
Kayla was about to shake her head but Jessy suddenly asked ", Do you know of a world that's completely black and gray?"

Jessy shook his head and began walking toward the kitchen.
Suddenly he doubles over in pain and screams slightly. "What the hell?" Kayla said as his ears grew until they looked like long elf ears, except they were blood red and black, they also looked like they were hard, the bone seemed to be close to the skin. Also his claws seemed to be growing longer and the skin in his forearms became leathery and metal plated, like his hands, the armor reached all the way to his elbows. A bone spike burst out of each elbow area, reaching about a foot in length, they were definitely sharp.
Izzy was already typing furiously on his laptop ", Incredible," he exclaimed.
"Wait," she said suddenly. She thought back to a project she had once done, that was about mythical creatures. "Jessy I think I know what you're turning into a Demon of some kind," she exclaimed.
Jessy looked up at her and blinked and he stuttered ", De. Demon?" He then promptly passed out.
Joe rushed to him and checked his vital signs. After several minutes he stood up and said ", He must have passed out due to the pain," he said with a sigh.
"Either that or he's in shock," Kayla muttered ", the chicken. First he's scared of elevators now he passes out because his arms changed."
"Dude, I'm scared of elevators to," Davis trailed off. Cody gave him an odd look and shuffled away slightly and Yolie smacked him upside the head. TK, Ken, Tai, and Matt all try and hold in their laughter.

Matt, his jaw hanging slightly open said ", That's exactly what happened," he paused then turned to Davis and pointed at him ", See if I ever cover for you again Goggle-Head." Davis gulped nervously.
Kayla laughed and said ", You gel-heads should stick together."
The other digidestined laughed, except for Cody who walked up to Kayla and tapped her on the arm, because he couldn't reach her shoulder. When she turned the youngest digidestined said ", Not to be rude or anything but I have to leave to go to Kendo practice and my sensei will be insulted if I am late."
Kayla nodded and said ", Goodbye then Cody." Cody bowed to her then walked out the door. She smiled ", Such a polite little kid," she muttered under her breath.

Meanwhile Tai is scratching his head and mutters ", I know there was something I had to do today." Suddenly his eyes widen in realization ", Oh shit," he looks over at Kari and says ", Kari please tell me today isn't mom's birthday."
Kari's eyes widen and she says ", Uh-oh."
"You two forgot AGAIN!" Sora exclaimed ", This is the fourth year in a row."
"Shit Kari we still have to get her something for her. Let's go!" he exclaimed before he ran out the door with Kari right behind him.
Sora laughs then looks at her watch ", I better go I have to practice some tennis," she explained ", see you later." With that she walked out the door.
Izzy stood up and closed his laptop ", I better go and try and get in touch with Genaii about this." With that he disappeared out the door.
Kayla sighs and points to the door ", I know what your all going to say," she paused ", so if you have to go just go." Matt and Joe both say goodbye then exit through the door. Only Ken and Davis remain.
Ken looked at Kayla and said ", I'll stay here and explain what I know of the Dark Ocean and the history of the Digidestined. Besides I won't be picked up for another hour or so," he added.

Davis blinked then looked around the room ", Hey were did everybody go?" Kayla points to the door and Davis yells ", WHAT!? KARI WAIT FOR ME!" With that he ran out of the apartment and down the stairs.
Kayla stared for a moment then blinked. Ken then said ", Looks like it's only you and I," he paused then added ", and Jessy of course."
The teenaged girl looked at Ken and said ", Well I guess you should begin so I know what to expect."
Ken nodded and said ", It's a long story."
A hour and a half later
"And that's the whole story," Ken said ", or at least what I know of it. You'd have to ask some of the others to get the whole thing."
"That's amazing," Kayla muttered ", all the things they've done."
Jessy who is sitting behind them cross legged on the floor, out of their view says ", I'd say."
At the unexpected voice Kayla jumps slightly and screams. Jessy laughs seeing her response, his laugh sounds slightly un-earthy. She glared at him and stuttered in anger ", You, You, You, You."
"I, I, I, I, what?" he asked with mock innocence.
"YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A FUCKING HEART ATTACK!" she screamed, then got up and stamped to her room and slammed the door.
"Well that was odd," muttered Ken as he stood up. "I better go my mom's probably waiting," he walked toward the door and said goodbye to Jessy, who nodded in response, then yelled a goodbye to Kayla, who didn't respond, as he walked past her door.
After a moment Jessy stood up and knocked on Kayla's door ", GO AWAY," she yelled.
Jessy sighed and opened the door. Kayla was sitting on her bed glaring at him, but he walked over and sat beside her. After a moment of silence he apologized ", Look Kayla I'm really sorry for scaring you, I didn't mean to. I'm also sorry for acting like a jerk afterward," he said then slowly stood up and began to walk out of the room.
"Wait," said Kayla ", I'm sorry too. It's just difficult you know, being in this different world without anyone you really know." Kayla looked up at Jessy, no longer glaring ", I think we should try to be more patient with this."
Jessy smiled and nodded then walked out of her room, closing the door slowly. He walked into his room and jumped on his bed, trying to sleep and recover his strength.
