Ryan's Downfall: The Story- Chapter Six by Melinda Cadarette
We must find the others
John Mark told us his plan
I thought it would be simple
But Cole soon got into trouble
"So what do you think we should do?" Cole asked me.
I did not reply right away. I was looking at my digivice. We were in the Tamachi district of Tokyo, Japan. Ken should be not far away. Butterflymon was resting on my right shoulder.
"I have a plan. We got to find Ryan and his group before the others do. Therefore we should split up".
"I say not. John Mark warned us that we could be in danger. I think we should stay together just in case", Cole argued.
"Ryan could have found Ken by now", I replied. "Besides we have our Digimon to protect us".
"Yeah but-" Cole started to say when Tigramon, his Digimon, placed his front paws on the pants of Cole.
"Do you trust me to protect you Cole?" Tigramon asked him. The Digimon looked at him with little black eyes.
Cole seemed hesitant to answer his Digimon.
"Cole you know we might have to do this on our own. The Dark One could have known Ken's location by now!" I said impatiently. "Tigramon and I have faith we can do this. Is that right Tigramon?"
"Of course I do! I'll protect you Cole as long as my tail stays on", the Digimon answered. "I am serious. I cannot digivolve without my tail not being attached".
"I see. Ok you win. We shall split up. I am going to go with Tigramon in one way and you and Butterflymon can go another way. I still don't like it but I am willing to do as you say", Cole sighed.
"Don't worry Cole. I am going to take this street. You can take another street. In one hour I am going to send Butterflymon to find you. If none of us find Ken by then, let's assume that Ryan has found him and let us find Sebastien and Celine and make a nre plan", I told him.
"It sounds like a good plan. Okay Mel I trust in you. I hope everything does go well. I'll see you in an hour," Cole managed to smile.
"That's good. Come on Butterflymon! You do remember our mission right?" I asked my Digimon as we walked on, leaving Cole and Tigramon behind.
"Oh yes find the kid that used to be the Digimon Emperor. Is that right Mel?" Butterflymon answered.
"Yeah! Hey!" I yelled out.
It would only be later until I found out about this part of the story. Cole and Tigramon were all alone now.
"Come on Tigramon. We should go and find Ken too," Cole said. They went on another street. Tigramon was sniffing the ground.
"I smell a Digimon", Tigramon finally spoke.
"Really? Maybe it's Ken's Digimon! Our search for him might be sooner than I thought! Follow that scent Tigramon!" Cole commanded.
"Yes Cole!" Tigramon did as Cole commanded. The boy followed his Digimon to a dark alley. A shape appeared. "It's a Scorpiomon!"
"It's my Scorpiomon!" a dark voice boomed out of nowhere. "And it shall put the 'sting' to your mission Cole. Scorpiomon attack now!"
Cole screamed.
At the same time, Butterflymon and I were out in the town, unaware of the fate of Cole and Tigramon. I was so foolish to believe it would be so simple to find Ken. But let's turn to Sebastien and Baamon in their search for the older Digi-Destineds.
Sebastien and Baamon were in Odaiba
Searching for the older Digi-Destineds
Time is running out for them too
But patience is not Baamon's thing
"How long is it until we found someone?" Baamon asked.
"You should know. You're the Digimon", Sebastien replied.
"Well I don't. Do you have an idea?"
"No. Do you?"
"I can digivolve into Arimon and destroy a few empty buildings-"
"No Baamon!"
"Do you have any better ideas then?"
"I think we are in the afternoon. The DigiDestineds should be out of school, unless some of them are doing after-school activities", he then went into deep thought.
"Are you going to give me your idea before the sun sets?"
Sebastien ignored the sarcastic question. "I do not know the exact time here but it was before noon where I live. The time zones have to be different. I only wish that I could read Japanese to find our exact location. I can hardly read English". Then he turned to the left. "Baamon! I think I hear something! It's music!"
"Well it can't be a Digimon!" Baamon said.
"It's rock music! There must be a concert or a show around here!" Sebastien exclaimed.
"Really? I want to play!"
"Baamon we got to find the Digi-Destineds-"
But Baamon had already left to find the source. At first Sebastien did not know where Baamon went but then he saw his Digimon go through a slightly open window in a building that looks much like a school.
"Baamon! Wait for me!" Sebastien yelled. He went to the front doors of the building. 'I got to find Baamon before a lot of trouble occurs', he thought. He tried to open the doors. They were locked. He knocked on it. There was no answer. He groaned. He went to the slightly open window. He looked to see no one was watching him so he opened it fully and went though it.
Sebastien found himself in a hallway. He was certain now he was in a school. There were doors with numbers in both Arabic numerals (like 10, 20, 30, etc.) and in the kanji (Japanese writing) letters. He ran through the hallway.
"Baamon!" he yelled. There was no answer. Then he heard a boy scream. He hurried toward the direction of the scream. He went through the doors and gasped once inside.
Sebastien saw that he was in the gymnasium and that the poor boy that apparently screamed was on the floor, shaking like a leaf. Baamon was at his drums, pounding it with his hoofs. He was having a good time. Sebastien felt himself going red in his face.
"It's okay guys. It's only a Digimon", a blond-haired boy said to his startled band members. Then he turned to Sebastien. "Is this your Digimon?"
Sebastien just stared at him. He saw the teen's hair, his face, and his green uniform. It had to be him! Sebastien turned from shock and embarrassment to one of excitement and happiness. He could hardly speak as it finally hit him.
He was in fact so excited that his lips were moving before he even spoke. "Matt-Matt Ishida! I need your help!" he blurted out. The teen opened his mouth.
Affections for a girl
Can be sweet and bitter
It can be unpleasant
When you are a Roachmon
"Come on sweet-"
"No! And call me Celine-"
"Come on Celine-"
"No!"
"Celine just one date with me-"
"N-O-N".
"How about a kiss then?"
"Ewww. I think I pass".
"Just a little kiss Celine-"
"I am not going to date you much less kiss you!"
"I have made many poems for you darling", and before Celine could object, Roachmon recited one for her.
My sweet Celine like the moon
So pure and white in the night sky
May I go in orbit to see your face
So I shall see it as I go on by
Oh sweet Celine I give my love to thee
It is like the moon, so pure and lovely
Let me show my love to you please
So that I may give you the sea
So may I have a date with you
And to get my kiss from you dear
So let me show you my love
My bright moon so please do hear.
Celine did not say a word. Her face was pale white. It was quite evident that she was shocked.
"That-that was beautiful Roachmon. I never knew you could write poetry like that. But my answer is still no".
"You have beautiful blue eyes. And your brown hair is like chestnuts-"
"You can stop now. Remember we have a mission to do".
"I have not forgotten my love. Still this is a big city. Might I get a kiss for my effort?" Roachmon asked.
"Okay but on these conditions: First, you have to find the new Digi-Destineds and that means Davis, Yolei, Cody, T.K. and Kari. I guess T.K. and Kari can be considered part of the group. In any case you have an hour to find them. And you, not me, have to do it- hey wait!" Celine saw Roachmon fly up into the sky. "Where are you going?" she shouted.
"Celine my darling I am going to find all of them for a kiss from your lips", Roachmon told her. "Now do not go anywhere my love. I am going to be back in an hour or less according to your demands". At that he flew away.
"Goodbye Roachmon. See you later", Celine said. "I cannot believe this. My first date and my first kiss may come from a Digimon that looks like a cockroach! I suppose it could be worse". She thought about a dark-haired boy and sighed. Life was definitely not fair.
She stood there waiting for Roachmon to come back. She left, or thought she left, a dark presence behind her.
"Damien? No it cannot be him!' Celine thought. She suddenly felt vulnerable.
"This is not funny so come out now!" she yelled. No one responded. 'I must be going crazy. I wish Roachmon was here asmuch as I hate to admit it', she thought. She left a dark power trying to touch her shoulder. She shrieked.
"My sweet?" Celine turned to see Roachmon looking concerned. "I know I am not a pretty sight at times but I am not going to hurt you".
"Well you should know that sneaking behind a lady would do that, especially me", Celine scolded. "And call me Celine!"
"I am so sorry, ah, Celine but I did find some of the new Digi-Destineds", Roachmon told her.
"Do you know their names?" Celine asked her Digimon.
"The girl that screamed when I looked through the window is Yolei and I only knew that because another girl came in and tried to revive her. Needless to say her Digimon gave me quite a pecking", Roachmon rubbed a sore on his face. "But when everything became quiet again I told them about our mission and she informed all the other DigiDestineds through a terminal device. Why do people mistake me for my cousins?"
"It must be your looks. In any case did you tell them our exact location?"
"Well I know where we are. I couldn't give them a map. But one of them has a woman called a mother and she should be here very soon". He then went closer to Celine.
"What are you doing?" Celine asked cautiously.
"You said that I can get a kiss if I meet all your demands and I did so a kiss I should get", Roachmon stated. He puckered his lips at her.
'Oh no! Oh this is going to be gross!' Celine thought. But she could not think of an excuse. Roachmon did meet all of her demands. She wondered if roach Digimons were any grosser than their natural counterparts.
'Get a grip! He's just digital data! Think of it that way!' she thought earnestly. But still she was going to kiss digital data that looks like a cockroach.
Celine had no choice but to bend and kiss him. She was about to do that when she heard a car horn. Startled and at the same time relieved, she looked back and saw a car that just went by the curb close to them. At once Celine's face brightened. She realized the faces of the younger DigiDestineds and noticed the female driver- it was Ms. Takaishi, T.K.'s mother!
"Hey Celine! If you understand this come in! But I guess your Digimon told you we were coming!" a female voice, Yolei's voice, called out.
"I'll kiss you later", Celine said to her Digimon. Roachmon looked disappointed but he nodded as they both went to the car and went in.
As for me and Butterflymon, our search for Ken was not going so well.
"I just wish I took more notice of his place when I was watching the second season!" I exclaimed.
"Do you want me to look through the windows of the apartment buildings?" Butterflymon asked.
"Are you kidding? Of course not! I don't want you butting in anyone's business!" I replied right away.
"Okay okay!" Butterflymon said. "But can I just look as I fly by the windows?"
"That could work. I just don't want people getting annoyed".
"I understand. May I start with this apartment building?" Butterflymon was referring to the apartment building that we were looking at.
"You may. Just fly naturally like a real butterfly".
"I understand".
So I waited as Butterflymon inspected each window of the apartment building. This took thirty minutes. Finally, my Digimon came down.
"I am sorry. I didn't see Ken or any Digimon for that matter", Butterflymon reported.
"I guess we have to check another one".
So we did. The hour was almost up and I felt for sure that Cole and Tigramon were waiting for us.
"Butterflymon the hour is almost up. Do you want to go now?"
"Can I do one more please? I have been feeling something close by and I want to check it out".
"Is it a Digimon?"
"I think so. But I want to check it out".
"Okay Butterflymon. You can go but be careful".
"I shall do so. Just follow me!" At that Butterflymon went off across the street and turned right.
"Hey wait for me!" I shouted. I tried to follow my Digimon. Butterflymon stopped at an apartment building. It looked like an ordinary building but there was something fancy about it. Perhaps it was its height.
"Ken it's them! I'll get her!"
"No wait!"
I turned my head just to see a green bug creature spray me with some sticky stuff. Then it jumped on my face. I reacted the way most people would react at a situation like this.
I screamed.
