"You are crazy you know that?" Mimi looked around nervously. as they walked
down the halls.
"The last thing Gamma would expect is for us to sneak in without any help." TK looked around this gigantic mansion. Various memorabilia, sports but especially music lined the halls. Elvis' guitar, Beatle LPs, this stuff would be worth a fortune if money meant anything these days. TK suddenly heard sounds coming from the hallway. He grabbed Mimi and pushed her into a room. Two Geckomon, black spirals on their arms, walked down the hall.
Suddenly an intercom burst forth with sound, startling the pair. "Attention servants of Gamma. It has come to my attention that I have intruders on my grounds. I order all of you to leave the mansion and to perform an extensive search for at least two hours. I will be in the theater with my protector. Do so quickly." The intercom abruptly cut off.
Two Geckomon turned and faced one another. "I wonder why Lord Gamma is ordering us to go on search?"
"I don't know, but we are only required to follow his orders." The other Geckomon nodded.
"It would be wiser if he kept all his troops here to protect himself." The Geckmon's red eyes looked forward.
"Gamma must have another plan, he is too smart to allow himself to be captured." The Geckomon conversation became to soft as they walked down the hall.
TK smiled. "Only one digimon left, that should be no problem." TK grabbed Mimi's hand and pulled her down the hall. The way to the theatre was clearly labeled out, TK wondered if Gamma held tours. The two peered around the corner, and saw no one there, but the hall was pretty dark. TK motioned for Mimi to follow. They moved to the door and placed his hand on the doorknob. Suddenly, TK heard breathing. Familiar breathing. He whirled around, two eyes flashed in the darkness at the far end of the hall. "Gurumon?"
The blue striped wolf stepped into the light. TK could see such heaviness in his eyes. Mimi backed up in horror, wondering how she got talked into this. Gurumon opened his mouth. "Please come with me." He growled half- heartily.
"Gurumon, what are you doing? We have to stop Gamma!" TK walked forward. Mimi was surprised yet again; does anything scare this kid?
"I can't let you hurt Gamma." Gurumon unenthusiastically replied.
"And I have to stop him." TK stood a few feet away, Gurumon's hot breath washed over his face. "I know you won't hurt me Gurumon."
"I have no choice!" Gurumon placed a paw on TK chest and held him against the wall. "You don't know me! You don't anything about me!"
TK thought fast. "I know more about you than you think. I know you where born on File Island. I know about your digivice. I even know what's under your fur as Gabumon."
Gurumon was stunned. No one knew what was under his fur, not even Sora. It was a trick. "What's under my fur?"
"Computer code. It's what Ladydevimon used to travel back in time. She stole your digivices and is responsible for this reality." TK looked Gurumon square in the eye.
Gurumon took his paw off TK. This kid, whoever he was, was telling the truth. He knew about File Island, Ladydevimon, and his fur! Gurumon couldn't even breathe as realization swept over him. "My code. She used my code to do this?" Gurumon shone with light and turned back to Gabumon. Gabumon fell to his knees. "I'm responsible. I did this."
"No you didn't." TK knelt down next to tiny figure.
"I did this to Matt, to his family, to everybody." Gabumon collapsed on the ground as the weight of what happened began to crush him.
TK turned to Mimi. "We've got to get him out of here."
"But he tried to kill you!" Mimi shouted. "And what about your brother and Gamma?"
TK was about to answer when he heard something coming from the doors. Very softly, music floated into the hall. TK had to strain to hear it sound so familiar. He had heard it before. It was Mozart, Greensleeves to be precise.
It is said that everyone has at least one moment of crystal clarity in his or her lives. A moment where the answer leaps forward and you wonder why you could not see it before. TK was having one right now, but he wished he wasn't. He finally answered Mimi's question. "I'll handle Gamma." He walked to the door and slung them open. The theater was huge. TK could barely see the stage from his vantagepoint. "You just get Gabumon out of here. He won't hurt you, he just wanted to make sure Matt was safe." TK walked threw the doors and began his journey down the aisle.
Mimi shook her head. This kid was the either the bravest or most foolish person on the planet. Probably both. She picked up Gabumon, who was nearly comatose with grief. "Come on you." Mimi forced the creature to his feet and began to drag him.
Gabumon was sobbing now. "I did this all, the world, all because of me."
Mimi's patience was wearing thin. She only trusted a select few digimon, and definitely not this one who attacked them, was a servant Gamma, and now was taking responsibility for Ladydevimon's ascent to power. "Will you please be quiet?" She pulled Gabumon out of the hall and headed to the door. She pushed Gabumon down the stairs of the mansion. "Now move it!"
Suddenly Mimi heard a scream. She whipped around as a blur tackled her in the mid-section. The two fell down a bit of an incline, landing in some dense foliage. Mimi fell to the ground, with her attacker on top of her. Reacting instinctively, she kneed her opponent in the stomach and rolled up to her feet. She regarded in surprise when it wasn't a digimon she was fighting, but a young girl about her age. She could have sworn she saw her before somewhere long ago. "What are you doing?" Mimi screamed.
Sora got to her feet, rubbing her stomach as she stood under a light post in the empty street. She had seen Gabumon being dragged roughly down the stairs out of the mansion. This girl for who knows what purpose was roughly carting off her only friend, hurting him, and it filled her with anger. The spires took control shortly afterwards. "I won't let you hurt him!" Sora leapt forward again.
Mimi, who had spent her life in constant danger, reacted quickly. Luckily for her, Sora had never really been in a fight as a servant of Gamma. Mimi jumped out of the way, tripping Sora as she did so. Sora landed on the ground on her belly. Mimi jumped on top of her a moment later, placing Sora in a headlock. "I don't have time for this!" Mimi fought to control her emotions.
Gabumon had gotten to his feet after seeing Sora being choked by this new pink haired girl. Fury filled Gabumon's normal pacifist mind, and the spires mind warping effects filled him. "Blue BLASTER!"
Mimi rolled quickly, pulling Sora up as a human shield. "UGH!" Sora took the blast in her stomach, and passed out, cumbling to the ground in a heap.
"NO!" Gabumon lips curled in a snarl. "You pay for that BITCH!" Gabumon completely lost himself, and leapt forward, ready to tear Mimi apart with his teeth.
Mimi jumped to the side. KLONG! A metal ringing filled the air. Mimi turned around. "Groaannnn...." Gabumon's head had put a sizable dent in the green lamp post. Gabumon was on the ground on his stomach, with a sizable bump on his forhead. His horn was half wdged in the green metal post as well.
"Never use the B-word." Mimi looked around. "I should leave, I mean I am way over my head here. And you two working for Gamma and all, should not be a concern of mine." Mimi reached down, and grabbed Sora by the shoulder. "But I still can't leave you in the middle of the street." Mimi sighed as she began dragging the girl. "I am as crazy as that TK kid."
TK walked down the enormous theater. The audience rows were lit up, but the stage was dark. There was a barley visible figure sitting on a stool with a guitar on his knees engulfed in shadows. If he saw TK walk in, he took no notice and continued playing Greensleeves. TK just stood in the center aisle and listened. The guitarist played the final chorus, letting the last cord echo and die. Silence filled the room next, neither one speaking for several seconds. Gamma got up off his stool and spoke. "A beautiful piece. I don't know why, but something just draws me to that song. It's so memorable, timeless." Gamma placed his guitar on the stand. "Did you know Mozart wrote his first symphony at four?" Gamma chuckled. "Of course, I helped to take over the world by the time I was thirteen, I think I out did him."
TK looked up to the stage. "Why?"
"You figured it out who I was?" Gamma was still completely shrouded in the darkness.
"I think I always knew." TK pulled the harmonica out of his pocket; the one Etemon gave him. "This harmonica, the music theme, Gurumon protecting you. I just didn't want to believe." TK sighed. "It was when I heard Greensleeves playing that I knew for sure. I knew that song like my own name. I heard it played so many times, it was the first song that was ever taught to me. He always thought that his band would think he was a wimp if they heard him play classical music. But he played it with me because he knew I admired him and never would think down of him. I still don't."
Gamma stepped off the stage. Wild blond hair flew in front of his blue eyes. Matt smiled as he placed his hand on TK shoulder. "You always did think highly of me, brother."
"The last thing Gamma would expect is for us to sneak in without any help." TK looked around this gigantic mansion. Various memorabilia, sports but especially music lined the halls. Elvis' guitar, Beatle LPs, this stuff would be worth a fortune if money meant anything these days. TK suddenly heard sounds coming from the hallway. He grabbed Mimi and pushed her into a room.
