Chapter 5: Monsters Arrive

"Genki?"

Genki turned around, facing the door.

Hikari stood in the doorway smiling at him. He made a face in disappointment, he had thought that he had heard. . .

"Genki?"

Hikari's lips had not moved, but he had definitely heard a voice.

He looked at Holly who raised an eyebrow at him.

Genki raised an eyebrow back. Holly opened her mouth, as if to say something, when the voice came again.

"Genki?"

It sounded more urgent this time.

Holly's lips had not moved. . .

Genki stared at her for a minute. If it wasn't Holly. . .and it wasn't Hikari then. . .who. . .?

Genki's eyes moved back to the door and downward.

"Mocchi!!!!!"

The big pink monster smiled happily at him before running up and jumping into him.

"Genki!!! We missed you so much!!" Mocchi exclaimed as he hugged Genki tightly.

"W-we?" Genki asked through the gasp for breath.

"Genki!!" Several more anxious, excited voices rang in his ears.

He turned brightly toward them.

In the doorway was Tiger, Hare, Suezo, and Golem peered in, hunched over.

Hare, Tiger, and Suezo pushed to get in the door all at once.

"You're better!" Suezo yelled as he came to a halt at his side.

Hare pushed him to one side roughly. "I knew you were ok, but they didn't believe me, but I had faith in you!"

Tiger's head pushed the rabbit out of the way. "Don't listen to him, he was a nervous wreck!"

They all spoke at once, shouting, and pushing, trying to get Genki's attention.

Genki hugged Mocchi and smiled at his friends, laughter bubbling up inside of him.

"You guys!!" Holly laughed too, leaving the monsters to stare avidly at them, unsure of what they were laughing about.

The room grew quiet for a minute before they all burst out laughing together.

Hikari watched silently from the doorway, smiling, then, softly, she went out into the yard, whistling.

When everyone had stopped laughing, they commenced in asking each other questions.

Of course, everyone wanted to sit on the bed with Genki, but that would have left out Golem, who was still peering in through the doorway.

They came up with the solution that they would pull chairs together by the door, so that Golem could sit down, instead of bending.

Hare smiled brilliantly at his friend.

"So, what's this world of yours like? You told us so much about it when we were in our world."

Genki gave him a quizzical look. "Haven't you seen ANY of it yet?"

They all shook their heads. "We've been in this forest ever since we got here." Holly informed him.

"Golem likes the forest." Golem stated from outside.

Genki smiled. "There are tons of things here that I never told you about when I was in your world here. There are cars, and planes, and all sorts of things."

Genki ticked the things off on his fingers. His friends stared at him blearily, not sure of what everything was.

"What is a 'car'?" Hare asked.

Genki thought that over, he wasn't sure how his friends would think of a car.

"It's like. . .it's like an iron bird. . .only with wheels. . ."

They all nodded.

Genki suddenly stopped. "Hey! How DID you guys get here?"

The monsters and Holly exchanged glances before answering him.

"Well. . .after you fell. . .and disappeared. . .we. . .I actually. . .went off and started to resurrect Monsters." Holly said.

"Of course, Pixie helped me, but only for a little while, she went off to another part of the world to start on resurrecting monsters there."

Genki nodded, curling his legs up, prepared for a long story.

"I came across five, very strange discs though, and kept them with me. I didn't resurrect them for some time."

"What about Gray wolf?" Genki broke in suddenly.

Tiger flinched slightly, and shifted his weight.

Holly stared at him questioningly. "Sorry, to interrupt, I just. . .the thought just came to me. . ."

Holly smiled understandingly at him. "Yes, I resurrected Gray Wolf, he is fine. Though, he has no memory of what happened, he is still a youngster."

Genki's eyes shifted to Tiger's. Tiger gave him a half-smile.

"So then?" Genki asked, wanting the story to resume.

"O-oh yes, well, I did finally unlock them, and. . .," She smiled. "And these guys came out looking as if they had never gone away."

Genki looked mystified for a while.

"Then, when I went to unlock the disk that we were sure was Mocchi, nothing happened. Nothing at all. No monster came out. We thought something was wrong. . .but then. . .all we remember is. . .we kept trying to unlock the monster disc. . .then this flash of light. . .and. . .we were in the middle of the field out there. . .I'm not exactly sure HOW we got here."

Genki rubbed his hand with his chin. "How many days ago was that?"

Hare pulled out his abacus. "Let's see. . .that was. . .3 weeks, 2 days, and 6 hours ago." He informed every, as he swiftly moved the beads from one to the other.

Every one stared at him for a minute before returning to the conversation.

"So, you just. . .appeared here?" Genki asked. "No magic spells, no nothing?"

Holly shook her head. "No."

"Did anyone else come? I mean, ya know, are you the only ones, or did this happen to others?"

Holly shook her head. "No, not that we know of, but it could be happening in other places."

Genki smiled and got up, stretching.

"Ok, we got that cleared up, let's play or something now."

Holly watched everyone as they go up. "Play?" She asked.

Genki smiled and pulled her up, out of her seat. "Yeah, come on!"

Holly gasped slightly as he pulled her roughly through the door, and onto the still-wet grass.

They all laughed as Genki started to do his usual hand stands, flips, and cartwheels.

"Come on!" He shouted to Golem and Holly who were still staring at him and the others as they splashed in the wet grass.

Holly giggled as she was lifted into the air by Golem.

Genki jumped up and clambered up the great rock giant, Mocchi clinging to his back.

"Here we go!" Genki called.

Mocchi detached himself from Genki's back as Genki jumped off of Golem's sharp shoulder.

"Cherry Blossom Blizzard, Chii!!!"

The little pink petals shot out all over the place.

A wind moved under them, lifting Genki up as well.

The others watched from the ground as Genki and Mocchi came gliding back down to earth.

Tiger jumped up, Genki landing on his back.

Genki grabbed onto his horns tightly as the wolf monster took off, his paws only seemingly touching the ground.

Genki let out a whoop of joy as tiger turned sharply and headed back toward the cabin and the others.

Golem, Hare, Suezo, and Mocchi raced toward Tiger and Genki. Holly grasped Golem's shoulder tightly as they prepared to make contact.

The end result was that everyone lay in a big heap, laughing and smiling.

"It sure is great to be with you guys again."
