Chapter Eight: Dreams of Prediction & Soul Caliber II!

"Where am I...?" Cat murmured walking through a foggy abyss. She blinked looking around wondering where the hell she was. She looked around shivering lightly. It was cold. Was she dreaming? She clearly remembered lying down in her bed but then why was she here? She looked around again before jumping back as a bright light flashed before her. Ahead of her were images of faint children. One was a young girl with a monster next to her a dolphin above her head. Next to her was another girl a monster next to her appearing like a rabbit a peace sign above her. Nearby was yet another girl though strangely she had no monster near her. Instead was a transparent figure of some warrior an hour class above the girls' head. Then there was the only boy out of all of them with a mage type thing next to him a symbol of scales above the boy's head. Cat watched perplexed seeing a like flash through the sky as a black ghost like shape was pulled into the ground. The scene switched as Cat stood in the sky. Wait standing in the sky? She could fly!? She blinked a bit confused before her eyes widened as she watched two boys hurtle through the sky. She recognized the two almost immediately. It was Kouji and Takuya though she had to wonder why they were hurtling through the sky. She watched as they passed her as she called out to them as they flew towards the ground. She opened her mouth to warn them but stopped seeing them stop the group from earlier standing before the two who landed safely the other Legendary Warriors appearing. Cat stared confused before gasping in shock the mysterious group becoming clearer to her.

Cat yelped a pillow colliding with her face as she snapped out of her dream. Tails grumbled grabbing her pillow laying down on her sleeping bag again. Tails had slept over. Cat remembered that as she rubbed her eyes remembering her dream. What had that meant? She mumbled a bit getting out of bed mumbling something about going on the computer. She walked downstairs towards the computer but looked up hearing something. She turned her head walking into the living room poking her head in hearing voices.

"Takuya, wake up idiot." It was Kouji. Cat blinked looking in the room. Kouji was shaking Takuya who was muttering under his breath tossing his head from side to side.

"He having a nightmare?" Her voice sounded before she even realized she has spoken. Kouji looked up at her but sighed nodding.

"Yea, can't get him up," Kouji sighed slightly shaking his had as Cat walked over to the two. She frowned shaking Takuya. After that didn't work she slapped the warrior of fire. It resulted in a grunt and Takuya trying to hit her. She glared something leaving the room. Kouji blinked watching as she walked back with a cup dumping the water on his face. Takuya sat bolt upright yelping as the freezing cold water dripped off his face. He blinked before glaring at Kouji and Cat.

"Hey! That was cold!" The Goggle-Head shouted as Cat rolled her eyes sitting down yawning.

"Yea well you wouldn't wake up... What were you dreaming about anyways?" Takuya looked at her before shutting his eyes recalling his dream.

"Its weird but... I dreamt about the others in the Digital World. They were running from the Royal Knights and Lucemon. I felt so useless, I tried to get to them to protect them but I couldn't. Then there was this bright flash of light I think at least... It was really odd, I mean I saw Kouji and me but... I saw these four children driving this dark ghost into some seal. Each had a digimon I think too..."

"Did you see who the children were?" Kouji frowned looking at Takuya as he shook his head 'no'. Cat frowned looking at Takuya recalling her dream.

"Cat, what are you doing up so late?"

"Oh had a weird dream and Tails threw a pillow at my face. Heh guess I was talking in my sleep." She shrugged a bit shifting her position in her chair. "It was really weird. There were these people but, I couldn't really make out who they were. You guys were in it too. You were like hurtling through the sky and then, once you landed the other legendary warriors showed up along with the other people I couldn't make out... Heh I shouldn't have had nachos before bed."

There was silence as Cat sighed shutting her eyes. The two-digimon characters thought over the two dreams. Could they have a connection? Kouji frowned slightly turning his head to speak to Cat but stopped. Cat had drifted off to sleep sitting curled up in the chair. Takuya laughed a bit seeing her as Kouji got up grabbing the blanket he had been using laying it over the sleeping child. Silence issued again as Takuya drifted back off to sleep Kouji staring up at the ceiling silently. He couldn't help but think about the two dreams Cat and Takuya had had. They seemed to be important somehow as he stared at the ceiling for the rest of the night.

"Dude they sleep too long." Takuya groaned turning over only to result in a sharp pain shooting through his leg. He yelped his eyes snapping open forcing Tails and Hex to jump back out of surprise. The goggle-head blinked slightly moving a hand to hold his leg as Kira glanced up from poking her cousin.

"Hey Takky glad to see your up." Takuya blinked looking around at everyone. Cat was still sound asleep. Hex and Tails seemed to be up and perky. Kira was well, she was awake and Kouji... Well he was nowhere to be seen. Takuya blinked rubbing his eyes sitting up gently.

"How long was I asleep?"

"Eh, awhile... Man Cat wake up!" Kira shouted in her cousins' ear. Cat yelped opening her eyes nearly falling out of the chair. Everyone laughed a bit as Cat glared.

"Dude, when'd Hex get here!? Ack how long was I asleep!?" The green haired girl exclaimed looking at her friends wondering why she didn't wake up. Kira laughed slightly as Cat sat up quickly running upstairs to get out of her PJs.

"Hey where's Kouji?" Takuya asked as Cat emerged from upstairs changed... Wow that's a record for getting changed. Tails looked at her friend pointing to the front door. Takuya turned his head silently getting up leaning against the crutches doing his best not to put pressure on his injured leg. The Goggle-Head then made his way to the front door. The other children watched as he opened the door before Hex sorted through his bag grinning pulling out a game.

"Soul Caliber Two anyone?"

Kouji sat on Cat's front porch staring at the sky. He hadn't been able to sleep and since Kira and Tails had come downstairs he had been outside. This had been the second night he hadn't really slept and he knew it had to show since Kira had offered to let him sleep upstairs while they talked. The Loner frowned though brushed that thought out of his mind thinking over Cat and Takuya's dreams. He knew normally the dreams wouldn't be too important but... He just wasn't sure at the moment. Something inside him told him they were important. Just like how he knew something was going to happen at the AnimeCon. Though he still wasn't sure how he knew that. Kouji sighed slightly shutting his eyes leaning back tilting his head towards the sky a few loose strands on midnight blue hair falling into his face. He heard the creaking of the door opening though didn't move as he heard the sounds of crutches sighing a bit recognizing his friends footsteps. "Hey Takuya."

"Hey Kouji, wait how'd you know it was me?" Takuya blinked slowly hopping down one of the steps sitting next to Kouji setting the crutches aside. He stared at his friend as Kouji kept his eyes shut and his face to the sky.

"Well no one else walks with crutches. Your leg feeling better?"

"Still hurts but I'm sure I'll be fine by the time we get back to the Digital World." He smiled a bit looking at his friend but frowned slightly. Kouji looked exhausted and from hearing that he was up when Tails and Kira came down plus he knew Kouji hadn't slept much since the battle with Devimon. Kouji opened one eye looking at the brunette before back at the sky slowly getting to his feet. "Hey Kouji you okay? You seem really tired..."

"I didn't get much sleep last night but I'm okay... We should probably go back inside..." Takuya nodded slightly standing up bracing himself on his crutches. He glanced at Kouji as his bandana-wearing friend made his way up the porch steps. Takuya began to follow him before yelping slightly as Kouji fell backwards Takuya, out of instinct, catching his friend. The goggle-boy hit the ground first with a thud Kouji unconscious. Takuya looked at his friend gulping slightly but sighed a bit relieved seeing Kouji had merely passed out due to exhaustion. He sighed slightly before frowning at the current problem he had. Takuya couldn't really stand up properly, especially with Kouji now literally laying over him like dead weight. He mumbled slightly to himself nudging Kouji slightly but he didn't wake up.

"... Uh, help you guys!" He called looking towards the door though his voice was unnoticed since the children inside were shouting and yelling. Something about hex being cheap. Takuya glared slightly at the door before blinking as a shadow covered him. He looked up yelping slightly seeing the freaky blonde from earlier now wearing a jade green top and dark jeans. Next to her was a much younger girl in a plaid jumper looking at them innocently. Tanya raised an eyebrow at him before bending down carefully picking up the Loner. Takuya watched though Kouji didn't move he really had to be out. The little girl watched them before hoping up the steps ringing the doorbell. There was silence for a few moments as Takuya managed to get back up getting up the steps Tanya following him. There was stumbling heard inside, then a crash sounding just outside. Takuya cringed slightly as Cat opened the door rubbing her head muttering something about her mom never polishing the floors again. The green haired girl looked up first spotting the little girl, then Takuya and then...

"Tanya what you to Kouji!?" She exclaimed pointing an accusing finger at the blonde who merely pushed passed Cat, walked into the living room and laid Kouji down on the couch.

"I did nothing dummy, ask Takky over there when me and Liza came he was lying on the ground and Kouji was on top of him out cold." Tanya gave a slight gesture to Takuya who was inside as was Liza.

"Takuya?"

"I don't know what happened, we were heading inside, Kouji fell backwards and I caught him so he wouldn't hit his head on the ground. I guess he was tiered or something, don't think he's been sleeping much since the fight with Devimon." Kira looked at Takuya as Hex paused the game they were playing. Tails frowned a bit looking at everyone as Kira got up grabbing a blanket laying it over Kouji sighing a bit.

"Well, let's just be quiet so we don't wake him up." There were nods of agreement though, Tanya knew them all better. Especially after seeing what game they were playing.

"Hey, what's Liza doing here?" Hex asked spotting Tanya's younger cousin who was quiet. Tanya blinked before shrugging a bit.

"Well she's goin' back to California tomorrow and she wanted to see all of you guys. Especially Takky and Kouji." The blonde stifled laughter as the younger blonde glared at her slightly. "You two got a new fan."

"Well, as long as Liza doesn't become as creepy as Tanya does... Then you two are safe," Tails smiled a bit before yelping as Hex un-paused the game continuing their game. Takuya peered over at them though couldn't help but grin. They were playing 'Soul Caliber II'. Takuya happened to be very good at this game. He watched as Tails, who was playing as Kilik, and Hex was playing at the cheater known as Raphael. Takuya watched as the two played each other. Even though Tails was good, Hex beat her.

"Dude Raphael is so cheap! You keep doing the same attacks over and over again!" Tails nearly shouted as she fumed handing the controller to Cat. Cat cracked her knuckles slightly before selecting Talim as her character. Hex stayed with Raphael. After they selected the area to fight in they began. Talim was pretty fast and hit Raphael with a few good blows but... Well he started hitting her while she was on the ground Cat shouting that Hex could at least let her up. Takuya watched. The rest of the matches was like this. Kira as Cassandra didn't defeat Hex, Tanya as Taki had no chance. Liza watched not taking a chance since she had no clue how to play. Takuya blinked before taking the controller as Tanya handed it to her. A smiled crept across the young goggle-heads face as he selected Yung Tsung since he was Takuya's best character. Hex glanced at the goggle-head before choosing the area they'd fight in. The girls watched as the fight began, Yung Tsung verse Raphael. Buttons raced as the two fought pulling off combos and hits. The first match went to Raphael though Tails noticed Takuya hadn't really been concentrating on fighting, more to the point he was focusing on how Raphael fought. In the second match Takuya came back strong beating Hex who glared. The girls held their breath as if this was a championship match. Well, to them it actually was seeing as none of them had ever defeated Hex, he was just good and had the cheapest character in the game. Takuya grinned a bit as he and Hex battled with the characters. Dodging, hitting, soul charging, combos. It was most certainly an entertaining fight, which lasted for a while. In the end though the winner was Yung Tsung the girls all congratulating Takuya though Takuya didn't see what the big deal was.

"Nice game Hex," Hex looked at Takuya glaring slightly. He had finally been beaten! He couldn't believe it.

"How'd you get so good Takuya?" Takuya blinked looking at Hex who had asked the question giving a slight shrug.

"I just played it a lot back home. Even got to the finals of some tournament..." Everyone looked at him Hex giving a slight nod.

"Neat, anyways, wanna play again? Rematch?" Takuya grinned nodding as he and Hex played again. This was how the remainder of the morning went. Takuya and Hex played 'Soul Caliber 2', Kira watched as did Cat though she got up at one point to play with Liza (who had gotten bored), Tanya made lunch (seeing as Cat and Kira were never allowed to go near it again), Tails added to her homemade manga and Kouji well, continued to sleep. Everything was remotely peaceful as they got up to eat, Hex somewhat choking on his drink from laughing at something, Cat and Tails through chips at each other and Kira sat next to Takuya remaining silent. It was chaos as everyone goofed around Tails turning her head hearing footsteps as Kouji came towards them rubbing his eyes.

"Hey sleeping beauty woke up." Hex stated though got hit in the head by Kouji and Tails while Cat shook her head.

"Have a nice nap?" She asked as Kouji shrugged though still seemed to be waking up. Takuya looked at his friend but decided to ask the question which had just popped back into his mind later.
