MekimeGiuramon's Door


"Don't let her get away! Keep her away from that room!" a voice stormed through a corridor. So familiar but very worn out. Stampeding feet ran passed the figure that seemed to be in charge. These muscle men must have been the guards. But these dark bodied men had the heads of cobras! How bizarre! Whoever they were chasing ahead of them was slowing down; must have been running out of breath.

"You're mad!" the figure said up front. Her hair was a light green and she looked around the age of seventeen. What she was wearing was very strange, very inhuman. The clothes only a demon would wear. Black every where, and it looked like a cross between a bathing suit and Egyptian attire. The figure came to a dead end, no wait, it was an oak door. She turned the brass handle, but it was too late. The guards advanced on her before she had a chance to open it. The green haired female was forced to her knees. The guards held her down; some squeezed her arms so tightly bruises would be noticeable even after weeks, while others held her hair and pointed their spears before her. The figure that led them stepped forth.

Her hair was a really dark red--probably maroon--it seemed her clothes were a kind of Arabian style instead of Egyptian like the other females. She was slender and around seventeen as well, her eyes glaring at the green haired girl below. "Tsk..tsk...tsk..." she made a mocking noise toward the girl, "We cannot allow you bring harm to your own people... Millennium..."

"I would never harm them! Only you!" Millennium, what her name had to be, spat out. She didn't meet the glaring one's eyes, as if her own eyes would burn and be set on fire. Suddenly she felt frigid hands clamp around her neck. She could barely breathe; she choked for her words but none escaped through her mouth.

"You made an excellent warrior, if only you could see what you are doing to the ones around you..."

"If only you could see what you're doing to the ones around you--CACK--get the hell off me!" Millennium shouted as the grip on her neck tightened. "Inferno! I swear I'll kill you! Damn you! I swear it! You betrayed Deragon! you betrayed us all! I will avenge them! You will pay!" Millennium shouted as if her last vow.

"Pity, now you must whine to the gods..." Inferno grinned evilly as an transparent crystal tinted blue appeared in her hand. It began to stretched out and three other smaller crystals stuck out from its hilt. It formed a sword. "Farewell my worthy adversary..." and with that, the guards slithered back as the sword came crashing down on the unaware girl. It sliced through her neck, her screams turning to gags. Millennium's head rolled pass Inferno's feet while the body fell backward. The fiery haired female drew back her sword as the guards slithered down the hall. Her sword soon turned back to three crystals as they were still draped in Millennium's blood. Inferno bowed her head; she actually gave praise for someone she had just murdered! Inferno spun around on the balls of her heels and began to stroll down the hall.

As Inferno waltzed through the corridor, as if nothing happened, leaving her victim, someone she use to call 'friend', behind. "A shame, she ruined my floor with her expelled sanguine fluid. She came so close to telling her, but she was too let, she's mine now." Inferno bellowed but then became silent. Her footsteps tapping over the floor. The only things heard. That, and the only words that echoed through the silence from Inferno's lips. Solemn they were... "Adios.... Millennium..."

"Iris! Stop!!" Neommi cried. Her cousin had been talking in her sleep. Both of them were deserted on the sidewalk. The chameleon had vanished again.

"Adios.... Adios.... Adios...." Iris whispered over and over.

Neommi cried even more. "Stop it! If you're still alive! Wake up!" Neommi shouted, her digivice began to glow. She snatched it up. "Iris!! Wake from your nightmare! Wake up for me!" And with that, an aqua colored light surrounded the both of them, and no later then what Neommi said, Iris' eyes jerked open.

"What the? Hijo de puta..." Iris remarked as she held her beating head.

"You're alive!" Neommi almost fainted at the sight of her cousin, her voice filled with astonishment and sorrow. Her arms quickly wrapped around Iris' shoulders; enclosing her in a big hug. Iris was just about to choke from the oxygen deprivation that Neommi delivered her.

"Uh, Neommi, Neommi, NEOMMI!" Iris panted in a raspy voice while Neommi squeezed her intently. Neommi quickly released her begging cousin. "..Neommi, what just happened?" Iris breathed in more oxygen.

"You see..." Neommi began to whisper as if it were secretive, so Iris leaned in to hear it. "I don't know." Iris almost fell back over from Neommi's words. Once she saw the fuming Iris get back up from the ground, Neommi quickly stated, "All I did was hold my digivice up to you and presto, you're back to normal."

"...It's probably because of your crest... Dreams..." Iris said amazed. She stood up. "But how did you know I was dreaming?" Iris asked.

Neommi jumped to her feet. "You see, I just assumed you were sleeping." Neommi shouted happily. Iris hit the pavement once again. "Heheh, when we were little you always snored, loudly, when it was time to bed!" Neommi giggled as Iris wrapped her hands over Neommi's shoulders.

"Don't ever say that again!" Iris shouted letting go of Neommi's arms really quickly when she realized she had been shaking her. "Oh no!"

"Oh don't worry Iris, I have your bags right here. And look, your digivice, safe and sound. Of course, I have your letter too-" Neommi chimed in, unaffected by Iris' "abuse".

"NO! Neommi! The time! Quickly what is it!" Iris shouted grabbing Neommi's arms tightly. Neommi quickly fumbled out her own digivice.

"Um, about seven minutes to twelve--" Neommi was quickly jerked about by the arms because of the frenzy Iris was in; both of them were running down the road very quickly. "Iris wait, stop running so--"

"We can't stop, it takes five minutes to get back to the apartment, we gotta get to that portal!" Iris shouted as she dashed down the road. It didn't take much time the way the two girls were running to get back to Iris' neighborhood, they made it to the apartment building just four minutes early.

They ran up the stairs, Neommi practically tripping over her own feet. As soon as they got to the Takenouchi home, a huge weight was lifted off Iris' chest. But there was a slight problem. Iris couldn't get the door open!

"The door! It's locked! Neommi, how much can you mess up! Why did you lock the door! Who can break into it!?!" Iris censured and began to pound the door.

"It wasn't me." Neommi said quietly in her defense. "I left the door open, I could've sworn it. It wasn't me..." Neommi said sadly as Iris grabbed the knob of the door. "What are you gonna--"

"What does it look like!" Iris shouted angrily at her cousin. "Two minutes left." Iris said slamming her foot into the door. She did this over and over, Neommi closed her eyes and was ready to cry; did she lock the door by mistake? It would be her fault if they didn't make it through. The poor door, something else Iris' mother will have to pay for it seems.

"Don't you dare cry now!" Iris shouted harshly at Neommi as she gave another kick.

"Gomen." Neommi sucked up her tears and stood back. 'It's my fault...'

Finally, a small whole formed where Iris' foot had been attacking the door. Iris suddenly reached her hand inside and undid the lock. "Mama needs better doors." Iris said rushing in. Neommi stood at the doorway, admiring Iris' work--she always came up with something in the nick of time, even though it may be destructive.

"Iris, I'm really sorry." Neommi whispered as Iris ignored her. Iris was already sitting at the television set trying to find Giuramon by clicking on random channels.

"God, where'd she go? Where's the portal!" Iris said flipping one after the other. "This is impossible!" Iris shouted banging on the TV "She's gone! Dammit!" Iris shouted throwing her digivice on the ground--it slid under the couch.

"It'll be okay." Neommi said walking towards Iris. "There has to be another way in."

"You don't know that! Do you always look on the bright side of things?! We're alone Neommi! No one will come back! We failed! We'll never see our loved ones again! I even miss Taichi's mom's cooking now! This is the real world, Neommi! Wake up!" Iris shouted gripping Neommi's shoulders.

"...." Neommi wasn't looking at Iris anymore, her eyes were now fixated on the Television screen. Iris quickly looked towards it and gasped. "Beanamon." Neommi whispered. On the screen was Beanamon! No wait! This Beanamon was the one from the toy store Neommi saw before she found Iris. The vision of seeing her again, bleeding again, Neommi couldn't take it. "Oh my gosh!" Neommi cried as she fumbled with the remote; switching the television off.

"What are you doing! That was Giuramon on the television!" Iris shouted grabbing the remote from Neommi.

"IIE! Don't turn it back on! That wasn't Giuramon!" Neommi pleaded, taking the remote back.

"We only have a minute left Neommi! Give me the damn remote! Giuramon is waiting!" Iris snatched it back. Could it be? Neommi and Iris both saw something different in the television screen.

"That wasn't Giuramon! Beanamon's in trouble I know it!" Neommi began to cry again.

"Beanamon wasn't even there!" Iris yelled as she turned the TV back on. This time both saw Giuramon on the screen. "See. You were just seeing things. your eyes are going bad." Iris ridiculed pointing towards Giuramon.

"Seeing what?" Giuramon said with a grin.

"Neommi thought she saw Beanamon." Iris explained as she glared at Neommi who backed away from the TV.

"Really." Giuramon said with a sly expression. "That's impossible, I'm the only one with access to this connection." Giuramon said smiling at Neommi. "Maybe this is a little too much for you."

"I think so too. She's obviously losing it." Iris spoke as if Neommi wasn't even in the room.

Neommi took a quick glance at her cousin who didn't look back at her. 'She hates me.' Neommi thought.

"Now, hold your digivice up to the screen." Giuramon ordered.

"Um, si." Iris whispered as she dove under the couch and emerged again. She did what she was told. Neommi just stared at the floor about to cry all over again. Suddenly, something crossed her path. The chameleon was back! It just stood there by Neommi, watching her so it seemed.

"You..." Neommi murmured as she easily picked it up. It didn't seem to want to run from Neommi. All of a sudden, a surge of on rushing events came passing through Neommi's mind. She couldn't understand them, each one different from the first. She didn't realize she was going through convulsions and soon fell to the floor trembling all over. Iris didn't notice...

"This doesn't look like the digiworld?" a voice came through a sea of red liquid. Iris had spoken. "What's going on." she said as she stepped a foot into the goo. "Neommi? Neommi! Where are you! Giuramon!" Iris shouted as the red liquid began to engulf her. "KIEA! What's going on!" Iris screamed as she fell down into it. Underneath the liquid she could see a figure speeding towards her. It couldn't be. Giuramon! No, it was a disguise. A disguise that fooled her too well. As soon as the fake Giuramon got too close to Iris, it shifted to something else. Something that would just destroy Iris if it continued living on. She black out.

"Iris stop!" Neommi shouted pushing Iris out of the way.

"What's your problem!" Iris shouted getting back to her feet, about to charge for Neommi.

"This isn't Giuramon!" Neommi exclaimed as she held the chameleon in her arms.

"Not that again! Why do you have the stink'n reptile in your arms! Have you betrayed me! This is all his fault! You rather have the world destroyed, is that true?! You're my enemy?!" Iris said walking towards Neommi.

"Yes, that's what she did Iris." Giuramon cackled. "She's betrayed you for the thing that almost cost you your life. Now she's trying to turn you against me. She's trying to stop you from saving everyone!"

"Si, that's what you're doing!" Iris shouted, her hands inches away from Neommi's throat.

"Iris, don't listen to her." Neommi said falling towards the ground trying to get away from Iris.

"She doesn't understand, you have to get rid of her before she destroys you." Giuramon bellowed glaring at Neommi.

"Si!" Iris said running towards her eyes glowing the same brilliant red that Giuramon's had started to glow.

"Iris! I'm your cousin! Open your eyes! It's an illusion!!!" Neommi shouted as she held the chameleon towards Iris. The eyes of it began to flicker, as did Neommi's in unison with it. Iris stopped in her tracks as a white light illuminated the living room. "You want to see who's behind this nightmare!" Neommi shouted as Iris flew backwards; slamming into the wall with force. Neommi then turned the chameleon towards the television. "You impostor!" Suddenly, a beam the color of an emerald green shot towards the television.

"Wait!" Giuramon called out in her last plea. The light broke through the television screen and in a matter of seconds, the fake Giuramon was gone.

"Did I do that?" Neommi blinked as her eyes went back to normal. The chameleon jumped out of Neommi's arms and slithered over to the fallen Iris. The chameleon rested itself on the unconscious girl's forehead and it began to turn red. "Oi! What are you doing?" Neommi said crawling up to it.

Iris was badly hurt from the impact she had received from the possessed Neommi, the chameleon must have been healing her. A wave of energy was surging through Iris's body as Neommi watched intently. Suddenly, Iris snatched the lizard in her hands as she jolted upward. This made Neommi jump.

"I got you, you stupid--" Iris shouted strangling the poor reptile.

"Iris stop!" Neommi said pulling on Iris' hand, loosening her grip on the chameleon.

"What for! It made us miss Giuramon's portal! It made you betray me!" Iris yelled trying to take Neommi's hands off her.

"Huh? No it didn't..." Neommi murmured in confusion.

"Wha.." Iris said as she stopped gripping the reptile.

"Don't you remember? Giuramon was hypnotizing you, sort of. The chameleon showed me. When I touched it, I think I saw part of the future of what could've happened if we did go into that portal. You could've..." Neommi said knowingly.

"Are you okay?" Iris said as the chameleon turned blue and jumped out of her hands.

"You can't remember?" Neommi was astounded as the chameleon jumped into her hair. "The chameleon must have did something to your memory." Neommi said smiling.

"Whatever, you and your little friend can do what ever the hell you want." Iris spat out as she stood up, she then walked out of the living room. Neommi followed her close behind.

Neommi followed Iris to the place Iris always visited when she wanted to be alone--the balcony. Iris didn't turn her back to look her, she just stood there, looking at the deserted city the same way she had the day before, before any of this had happened.

"Iris? What's wrong?" Neommi said walking by Iris.

"What the hell do you think is wrong?!" Iris shouted walking away from Neommi. "You seem to not care about anything."

"That's not true."

"There's no way we can save the real world or digiworld now!" As Iris spoke she sat down on the cold balcony floor, "That Giuramon was a fake, and I fell for it, I couldn't even tell an impostor from my own partner."

Neommi then sat next to Iris as the chameleon turned back to its normal color.

"And if that Giuramon was an impostor, then the real Giuramon is--"

"Alive!" Neommi piped up as she cut Iris off trying to comfort her.

"..." Iris held her head down.

"Can't you see, what if it wasn't an impostor, what if Giuramon was hypnotized like you?!" Neommi spoke.

"But then, you said you saw Beanamon when Giuramon was on screen." Iris said.

"Oh...well... Maybe, maybe they were holograms? Holograms of what we wanted to see. But I never wanted to see Beanamon looking the way she did on screen." Neommi said with a sigh.

"Nothing's making sense anymore. This is a hassle... We should just give up."

Both girls sat without speaking to each other, each one too caught up in their thoughts. Neommi finally broke the silence as she grasped the eyeless reptile. "Don't you think this lizard--"

"Chameleon." Iris corrected.

"Chameleon was trying to protect us?" Neommi asked.

"Huh?"

"You see, it stole and ran off with your digivice, the one thing that that fake Giuramon wanted. And for some reason that impostor didn't want my digivice's energy, she, or should I say, it, wanted yours." Neommi said knowingly.

"Neommi... As much as I would love to listen to your theories that can possibly take you days to explain, something that we don't have time for," Iris then stood up. "I would rather sail a tug boat to the U.S."

Neommi quickly jumped up. "But Iris..."

"Come on Neommi, that stupid Chameleon wasn't trying to do anything. It can't even help us out here, what is it gonna do, I would believe a fat, lazy sloth helping us before that reptile does." Iris said walking to the door. "Face it Neommi, that Chameleon's as helpful to me as a thousand mosquito bites."

Suddenly, as soon as Iris was done with criticizing the "useful" reptile, a strange flash quickly surged through Iris and Neommi's eyes. As soon as the flash died out, a strange screeching sound was filling the sky. It was the Chameleon. It's pupil-less eyes were blinking red like before. It then jumped from Neommi and onto the balcony edge. It's screeching got louder as both Iris and Neommi held their ears in pain. Suddenly, in the sky, dark clouds formed and a bright light shone down. The light was too illuminating for the two girls to keep their eyes open. The moment their eyes blinked open again, the lizard was gone... But in its place, in the now disappearing white light, stood an oak door.

The door, not only made of oak, had strange figures all over. Some of the figures looked like skulls, angels, demons, and warriors; all locked in battle. Its handles were made of glass! It was at least over nine feet tall!

"Hijo de mono..." Iris mouthed.

"Oh my gosh, Iris, that wasn't there before." Neommi said dumbfounded.

"God dammit, Neommi!" Iris blurted out peeved.

"Iris look!" Neommi gasped as she looked behind the door.

Iris quickly ran over to the door and examined it. Behind it was nothing, as if you open the door and you'll just go right through it. "What is up with this?"

"Where'd that lizar--Chameleon go?" Neommi said looking around.

"Who cares, the question that's more important is where'd this door come from?" Iris said looking at the sky. 'At least there are clouds up there this time.' Iris said staring at the black clouds still in the sky.

"Hey look!" Neommi shouted pointing at the door. At the very top, carved and possibly the only thing painted in green, was the.. the... Chameleon!

"Why is it right there?"

"Iris, this was carved on the door, there's no way that Chameleon is the same LIVING and BREATHING one." Neommi said with a smile.

"Are you sure?!" Iris said slyly.

"Well maybe--"

"Okay, okay, we'll never figure any of this out, unless..." Iris said cutting Neommi off.

"Oh brother..." Neommi sighed.

"We go through this door!" Iris concluded.

"Would've known." Neommi whispered.

"Obviously, the Chameleon is behind such an ingenious scheme that it thinks we won't follow it. It must've known we were catching on to it and made its get away, but, forgot to get rid of the door! In this case, we're gonna take down the Chameleon once and for all by going through this reptile's down fall! Let's go!" Iris finally finished with her lecture as she looked towards Neommi.

On the ground, slept sound, an innocent looking Neommi, all cuddled up and cozy.

"Wake up! I'm not that boring!" Iris screamed as Neommi jumped to a start.

"You didn't have to yell." Neommi said with a yawn.

At that moment, Iris grabbed onto Neommi's hand and led her to the door. "Enough waiting around, we're taken action. Let's Go!" Iris shouted as she placed her fingers on the door.

"Iris wait, I gotta use the bathroom!" Neommi called. But it was too late, as soon as that door opened, their adventure finally began...
