Chapter 3: Meeting old friends and new
The shenshi whirled through time and space. Eons and planets passed them by. Time space…had Pluto sent them somewhere?
**************************************************************************************
The screaming shenshi landed on ground with thump. As they sat up they saw they were in a vacant white space, the walls undistinguishable from the floor. Sailor Moon stood up and turned around, as if to see if there was anything else.
"Where are we?" She sniffed as the other got up and went over to her.
"I don't know Sailor Moon…a hyperbolic time chamber?" Sailor Venus laughed.
'I don't know about this…the last time we went through such a thing…' Sailor Jupiter shivered at the thought.
"Do you think we'll be able to get home again?…What if we…you know…get stuck in this weird place…forever…" Sailor Moon said, starting to get teary again.
"You have no reason to worry, I will send you back as soon as the trouble has ended…" A voice said behind them. The girls turned around as a figure against a large golden gate sailed towards them.
'It is Pluto!' the thought reaching all five of the girls.
"PLUTO!" Usagi squealed as she stood in front of them.
"Setsuna? Where are we?"
"What's going on?"
"Was there a memo we didn't get?"
"What's up?"
Pluto laughed and smiled.
"Hello shenshi. I glad to see you're all well." She said, then her smile faded.
"An evil from your world has crossed over to another and is causing havoc. It must be stopped before the timelines are put out of place, or the universes destroyed. So I have brought you all here under such circumstances." Pluto said her eyes watching the girls responses.
"Nani? Why us? Why not the Outers? Why aren't they here?" Usagi said.
"What happens if that universe is destroyed?" Mako inquired.
"What evil? An evil we know?" Mina asked. Pluto sighed.
"There is no need to talk over each other or yell. There is only us here. I have asked for you because I think you are capable of such a task. And because you were easier to get here" Setsuna laughed.
'But maybe…it would have been wiser to send Michuiri and Haruka…and little Horatu…still…' Pluto thought, her confidence in these girls wavering slightly.
"If this evil destroys that universe, all universes linked to it will also be destroyed. And since the evil comes from yours, that means your world will be one of them. And yes, Sailor Venus, it is an evil you know one you know very well. One you have beaten a long time ago. That is all I can say. Are you ready to go?" Pluto said as the girls thought carefully about the situation.
"But Pluto…What if were not strong enough to beat it?" Rei asked thoughtfully, her first sentence since they had landed. She watched as Pluto sighed and moved closer to the girls, her long green hair moving as if there was an invisible wind behind her.
"I believe in you" And with that she opened the gates of time. She looked at the girls, sad for a moment and moved back so they could get through.
"When you get there, find the children called the 'Digidestined' and their partners. I'm sending into a time just before the evil arrived, I wish you all the best." And with that a strong force pushed the shenshi through the gates into another vortex.
'I hope they will be ok…' Pluto thought as the gates closed them off from their world.
**************************************************************************************
In strange new place called, The 'DigitalWorld', the shenshi land ungracefully on the hard dirt ground:
"OWWWWWWWWWWWWW" Usagi screamed as she struggled to get up.
"I think I just broke my back…owie…" Mina said as she rolled over.
"We should tell Pluto to next time drop us somewhere where we won't be falling onto any hard surfaces!" Makoto said standing and helping Ami up.
"A few cushions would be nice…maybe a trampoline?" Minako said finally getting up and dusting the dirt off her clothes. Rei stood up and looked at the leafy green vegetation around her. It seemed to be like a jungle or a rainforest, with a warm humidity. But on close observation of the plants, this place was not at all like home.
"Where are we?" She wondered out loud.
"I'd hate to alarm anyone but did you notice were back in our normal forms? Our fuku's have disappeared…." Ami said staring at everyone, who immediately looked down to find the clothing they had put on that morning.
"Hey! Your right Ami-chan!" Mina said smiling.
"Weird…" Usagi mentioned, looking at an odd, big, beautiful, pink flower.
"Pluto said we should find the 'Digidestined'…Whoever…or as it seems from here…whatever they are…" Rei said as the flower jumped up and ran away.
"Oh!" Usagi said jumping back and latching onto Rei.
"Usagi! Get off! What do you think your doing?" Rei said as she pulled Usagi off of her. Usagi looked with shocked eyes.
"That flower I was looking at…it grew and ran away…and I swear… it looked at me Rei-chan!"
"Flower? All I see are leaves…" Mako asked, looking around.
"I highly doubt a flower can run…much less look at you, Usa" Rei said turning away.
"But it did! I swear it! Don't you guys believe me?" Usagi said, hurt. Mina came and hugged her.
"Sure…we do believe you (*glares at Rei*)…it's just…you do have an overactive imagination. Remember that time you thought there was a monster under your bed and called us all over?"
~*Flashback*~
Usagi screamed as she heard a loud sound from underneath her bed. She ran to the other side of her room, grabbed the phone, connected all her friends to a five-way chat and shut herself in her closet.
"Guys…There's something under my bed! It sounds like it's really big…and really hungry!" Usagi said, squealing again as the 'thing' made another sound.
"Are you ok? It could be a yuoma…" Minako said hearing the yelp.
"Yes, but I'm really, really scared…" Usagi said, trying to shut the door harder.
"Where's everyone in you house? Where's Luna?" Mako asked. Usagi quivered.
"They all went out, Luna too. There's no one here but me and that thing!"
"Let's think this through carefully Usagi-chan. There's always a reasonable explanation." Usagi could hear Ami saying.
"Usagi where are? Your voice sounds really weird…" Rei said, annoyed. Usagi sighed.
"I'm sitting in my closet"
"That's it I'm coming over. This is ridicules!" Rei said and hung up.
'Well, at least she's coming over…' Usagi thought, biting her lip.
"I'll come over too. This could be Sailor business. Cya!" Mako said hanging up her end of the phone.
"I guess I'll meet them at you house too. Coming Ami-chan?" Mina said.
"Yes. I'll come over as well. We'll sort this out. Don't worry Usagi" Ami said ending the conversation with a beep.
"Buhbye, Usagi-chan. I'm sure it's nothing" Minako said as the line went dead. Usagi screamed and clutched the phone.
'Now, I'm all alone! What if they don't come over in time? What if that thing comes out and eats me?' Usagi thought, thinking this would be her last few moments. Then she heard the door to her room slam open and then her closet door roughly pulled open.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Don't eat me!" Usagi said as she came face to face with a very steamed Rei, the rest of the girls filing into the room. And for some odd reason she could also hear small sobs.
"You can come out now!" Rei said as she pulled Usagi off the pile of clothes she was sitting on. Usagi whimpered. Ami and Mina carefully walked over to the bed and peaked under the covers.
"AMI! MINA! I'm scared!" Said the pink, odango headed girl, as she came out and flew into their arms.
"Someone woke me up!" Chibi-Usa said, sniffling.
"This is what I stopped work to find out?!" Rei said sighing and sitting on the bed.
"See? I said there was a logical explanation" Ami said, cradling the small girl. Mina smiled and looked up at Usagi.
"See nothing to worry about!"
"And just to think, Usagi was scared of a little girl!" Mako said laughing. Usagi blushed deep red and looked at the child.
"Why were you under my bed!?" She yelled at the girl who promptly sat up and glared at her.
"You pushed me off! It was too dark to go back to my room so I slept underneath you bed!" Chibi-Usa said.
"Well, you shouldn't have been there in the first place!…"
~*End of flashback*~
Usagi blushed at the memory.
"I guess. But I swear she sounded like a monster. Besides I know that flower moved!" Usagi said.
"It doesn't matter anyway. We have to find the 'Digidestined'!" Mako said sighing. Ami opened her mouth to say something but something burst forth from the bushes.
"It's a monster!" Usagi cried, hiding behind Mina. The shenshi grasped their henshin sticks tight and guarded Usagi from harm.
"What do you want with the Digidestined?!" Angrily said a boy about their age with spiky brown hair and blue goggles. Next to him was a small, orange dinosaur-like thing, poised to attack. Behind them stood a group of eight teenagers, each with a weird looking creature, also poised to attack.
"None of your business!" Rei yelled at this group.
"Whoever you are, don't ask us for any trouble!" Mina said, giving them a once over glance. Then they heard the strange, ghostly sound of a grasshopper or cricket. Usagi and a girl in the other group screamed.
"Run, everyone! It's Ditejemon!" The boy yelled as a huge metallic blue, grasshopper-like creature jumped towards them. With it's large blue eyes, giant yellowish head and thin purple strips down either side of it's body, it was the nightmare from hell. But for some reason it seemed oddly familiar.
'But we've never battled anything like that!…have we?' Rei thought as the large group began to run. Then she felt herself being pulled into an already cramped crevice under a rock.
"Shhhh…" She heard a boy say as he put a finger to her lips. Beside her she could see the other shenshi looking scared. They heard the creature stop and listen for them. Then they heard him moving away *sighs of relief are heard*
"Woah…that was close. I thought we were goners that time!" Rei heard the guy behind her say.
"Do you guys know that Digimon?" The boy from before the attack asked.
"No. It's one of those new Nega-metal Digimon that have been popping up. We've never seen any of them before" Someone behind Rei said as the group tumbled out of the crevice. She stood and looked at the strange group.
"But you said his name before…Ditejemon, right? If you've never seen them before…then how do you know his name?" Rei asked the goggled-boy. He was obviously their leader.
"Because we've spoken to him before. He said him and these new Digimon were gone take over now the Dark Masters are gone. He said we'd better stay out of Nega-metal Callicaryl way or he, Ditejemon was going to squish us like the pests we were. I mean if anyone's a pest it's him!" Goggle boy said, holding out a hand to Rei.
"I'm sorry if I was a little rude before, we've been pretty edgy with all these unidentifiable Digimon. I'm Tai!"
Rei and the other shenshi stood stunned for a moment. Who were these people? What the hell were 'Digimon'? Were these the 'Digidestined' they had been looking for? What the hell was a Nega-metal? Who were the Dark Masters? These were the questions going through the girls minds. Rei took his hand and smiled.
"I'm Rei Hino and these are my friends, Minako Aino, Ami Mizuno, Makoto Kino and the one with the weird meatball hairstyle is Usagi Tsukino (*points to each one*). We don't really know her, but she's just being annoying and hanging around."
"REI!" The other shenshi shouted. *Rei blushes*
"So are you guys the Digidestined?" Mina asked. Tai nodded.
"Yeah. Like I said, I'm Tai Tamiya. That little girl with the short brown hair, yellow shirt, whistle around her neck and pink shorts is my kid sister Kari"
"Hi, there! This is my partner Digimon, Gatomon!" Kari said, smiling and motioning to a white cat standing on two feet with yellow tiger gloves. The cat smiled.
"Hi"
"This is my buddy, Agumon" Tai said, motioning to the orange dinosaur, who promptly went and shook their hands.
"The tall guy over there, the one with the medical bag, the bluenette, he's Joe. Old reliability. And the weird thing next to him with the orange hair, white fur, purple stripes and claws, that's Gomamon"
"Hey! You didn't happen to bring an toilet paper with you did you?…We kinda ran out…" Joe said and started to go through his medical bag to check, but Gomamon jumped and attached himself to Joe's arm.
"Hey! Get off! Gomamon! Uh, uh, uh…" Joe said, shaking his arms wildly trying to get him off. A pretty girl in a blue helmet with a yellow short sleeve top on and blue jeans stepped forward and hugged the shenshi.
"It's so nice to have you here! I'm Sora, and my friend here is Biyomon" *motions to a pink and blue bird beside her*
"Hey you're the flower I saw earlier!" Usagi yelled as she spotted a green Digimon with a flower on its head, as if it were hair. Mako nudged Usagi.
"Shhh…"
"It's ok!" The Digimon said, "I'm Palamon! I was kinda spying on you before. That's how we knew you were here…" *Palamon blushes*
"This is my friend Mimi…" Palamon as a teary girl rushed forward and ran into Usagi's arms.
"Uh…" Usagi said as Mimi's large pink hat squished her face.
"I finally have someone to swap clothes with! And talk about shopping!" Mimi said, weeping on Usagi.
"Don't worry about her! She just misses her mum…and the mall, I guess" Said a little blonde boy, dressed in green, with a helmet that resembled a turtle's shell. Mina looked at the others and bent down in front of the child.
"I bet you miss you mum too. What's your name?" Mina said as the child's face broke into a wide grin.
"I'm Takaru! But you can call me TK! Yeah, I miss my mum heaps, but I have Sora and my big brother Matt to look after me!" * A little brown and white pig-thing with small wings flies over and lands on TK's shoulder*
"I'm Patamon! I'm TK's partner Digimon! Hiya!" The cute little butterball said.
'Those things are kinda strange…what are they called? Digimon?' Makoto thought as she surveyed the group.
"I'm Yamato Isida. Call me Matt," Said the boy who had shushed Rei earlier. He was blonde, like his younger brother, also wearing green.
'Matt, huh?…he's cute…' Rei thought as she looked at the boy. She smiled.
"Nice to meet you" Rei said as a short brunette came forward. Ami's heart jumped.
'A computer! A laptop!' Ami thought as she smiled at the boy wearing an orange shirt, a laptop in his purple laptop holder/backpack.
"Call me Izzy. This is Tentamon. Where did you come from? Do you also have Digivices? Who told you about us?" Izzy said as a red bug like Digimon came forward.
"Mind him. He's the curious type." Tentamon said.
"Digivices?" Ami asked Izzy, who showed her his. *Shenshi blink*
'Interesting…'
"Pluto sent us! We have to-" Usagi started, but was nudged and shushed by Minako.
"Pluto?" The Digidestined asked. *Sweatdrops from the shenshi*
"Who's Pluto? Isn't that a planet?" Matt asked Rei, thinking as everyone in his group thought: Rei was the leader.
"Yes. It is. And Pluto is…Pluto" Rei said.
'Something isn't right with these girls…something different…' Matt thought looking at them. Usagi's stomach growled. *Sweatdrops*
"I hate to say this but…can we eat?"
