Okay, cliffhanger finishing ment. That came out weird. I don't own Digimon

Eden shut her eyes & began to pray that her friends would be OK. What she didn't know is that she was glowing a faint glow.

Nicky noticed though. He stared at her as the light around her glowed brighter. "Eden…" he murmured before the light blinded him.

The 8 Digimon stared at her in awe as she stood up slowly as if in a daze. When she opened her mouth, a different voice came out. "You must digivolve to protect the Princess…"

The Digimon & Nicky were shocked. "What princess?" Nicky asked, sliding the rest of the way down to Eden.

She turned, but her usual blue eyes seemed to hold more sadness in them than before. "You must protect the princess. If she dies, the Digital World dies with her."

"But who's this princess?" Gatomon asked.

But before Eden to tell them, her eyes went dark & she lost the glow. Falling unconscious, she landed in Nicky's waiting arms. "Eden…" Nicky murmured as he picked the young girl up in his arms.

Turning to the others, he nodded. "Come with us." He began walking uphill again. The Digimon looked at each other, nodded & followed.

When they got to the top, they were shocked to see the four Digidestined Digimon awake. But before anyone to say anything, Hawkmon took one look at the unconscious girl & raced over. "Eden!"

Nicky placed her down & Hawkmon & the Gekomon surrounded her. "What happened?" Gekomon 2 asked, worry in his eyes.

Nicky hesitated. "I'm not really sure. She began to glow & when she turned to address me, her voice was different…" he paused.

Gomamon went on. "Like she was a different person. Then she said something about a princess & we have to protect her."

Gatomon gasped. "Wait, didn't this happen to Kari when she freed those Numemon?"

Motimon nodded. "It did. And since Eden is Kari's daughter…"

"…That must mean she has the power, too." Tanemon finished.

"But don't forget both TK & Kari were the Chosen Ones." Yokomon added. "And since Eden is the daughter of both of them…"

"…That must mean she has enormous power!" Koromon shouted.

Nicky was standing over them while this conversation was happening. "Wait! Her parents were Digidestined!" He pointed at the sleeping girl.

All 8 Digimon turned to him & nodded. "Yes she is & her parents were the Chosen Ones."

"Chosen Ones?" he looked confused, but before anyone could say anything, they heard a soft murmur of "Hello…"

Everyone turned to see Eden's eyes flutter open. "Eden…" Nicky instantly was at her side, helping her up.

"What happened?" she asked the worried boy.

"Nothing. You just had a little fainting spell…" Nicky helped her sit up.

"Fainting spell? You make me sound like a princess." Eden giggles.

"As you could be a princess." Nicky teased her.

"Hey, you better be nice to me." Eden threatened.

"Or what?"

"I'll hurt you!" She punched him lightly on the arm.

"Ow, that hurt so much! I'm dying…dying…dying…" Nicky pretended to pass out. He opened one eye to see Eden laughing. 'Much better when she laughs.' he thought, sitting up.

Eden turned to Hawkmon. "Hawkmon! You're awake!" She hugged the bird.

"Yes I am. But where are the others?" Hawkmon asked, pulling back.

Eden went white. "Oh my God! Caitlyn & Celina went flying!" She jumped up. "Where could they be? What if they're hurt? Or dead?" Her eyes began to tear up again.

Nicky was at her side at once, hugging her. "It's fine. They're just fine. Let's go look."

Eden nodded. "Thanks. You can be nice once in a while, jerk." She smiled.

"Watch it, idiot." Nicky smiled back at her.

Sighing, she turned to see the 8 other Digimon. "Do you guys want to come with us?"

Looking surprised, Tsunomon finally spoke. "You want us to go with you?"

Eden looked at Nicky, who stepped forward. "Yeah we do. It can't hurt to have some extra help." he told them.

Yokomon began tearing up. "You're so nice!" she cried, jumping into Eden's arms. Suddenly, all the others except Tokomon, Gatomon & Gomamon jumped into her arms, knocking her down.

Laughing, Eden tried to catch her breath. "Guys…it's OK. Just get off me!" she cried, trying to get back up.

All the Digimon got off & Eden stood up, brushing herself off. "Well, we better go." She turned to Hawkmon, who flew to her side. "Ready?" she asked.

"Ready." The two of them began walking, followed by Nicky with Veemon, Wormon & Armadillomon. Behind them hopped/walked the 8 past Digimon, finally in the rear are the 4 Gekomon (Jeez, huge enough group?)

After walking for 10 minutes, Eden saw something. 'Please don't let that be what I think it is…' she thought as she took off running, ignoring everyone shouting after her.

When she stopped, she dropped to her knees & brought the item to her heart. She let her tears fall & curled up into a ball. That's how the others found her.

"Eden, what's wrong?" Nicky asked, walking over to her.

Eden opened her hand, not saying anything. Everyone looked into her hand; it was a simple locket. "What's this?" Gekomon 4 asked.

"A locket." Nicky explained. "Whose is it?" he asked Eden.

"Caitlyn's…." Eden cried.

"Oh, Eden." Nicky bent down & brought her into another hug. "I'm sure it just dropped. They're probably around here somewhere."

Eden didn't say anything, but she clutched onto his shirt, sobbing harder. Nicky couldn't think of anything to make her feel better, so he just hugged her. The other Digimon watched, wanting to make her feel better as well.

Unknown to them, a mysterious force was watching them. "They're too well protected. We have to separate them." a voice said.

A muffled reply came back & a figure stood up. "I'll be seeing you soon…" It murmured as it jumped away in the night.

Wow! That wasn't a very long chapter, was it? Sorry, I'll make up for it in the future. Please RR
