Diclaimer: Whitezetsu does not own Digimon even tho she is thinking of the idea of saying they are her characters even if it means she could get arrested for it but however she does own the plot, Sister Mia, Stargazer, Ayashi, Toyo, Prince Kouta, Sakura, and the 4 pixies.


Truths Part I

"Where is she?" Alice asked leaning down on her horse.

It was really early the sun had just shown its face in the sky and Alice patients was growing ever thinner. Alice closed her eyes and started to fall asleep when she felt a hand on her back, she looked up only to see the Prince.

"What are you doing up so early?" He asked smiling still.

Alice closed her eyes and pictured herself anywhere but here. "I should ask you the same thing." She said somewhat rudely.

Normally if a peasant talked to royalty like this they would be hung, but Henry was different all he ever wanted was to be treated like everyone else. So he didn't mind.

"Well I'm looking for my sister. Have you seen her?" Henry asked. She looked up at him and could see his concern for his sister, she sighed.

"I don't even know what she looks like." Alice said placing her head back down on the horse.

"So where are you off too?" He asked totally forgetting that she had told him last night.

"North Kingdom." She stated now slightly annoyed.

"You told me that." Henry said. "I'm normally not one to forget things so easily, its just with my sister somewhere here things just slip my mind."

Alice looked over at him she had no idea what it was like to have a sibling she was an only for as long as she can remember.

"Well how about I do with you to North Kingdom well just until we reach there then I must go back to West Kingdom." He said with a smile, but he still continued to look for his sister.

"Well why don't you go look for your sister then come back here I'm waiting for someone right now so I should still be here if she ever decides to show up." Alice said once again placing her head on her horse's.

"Ok then." He smiled and road off on his horse. Alice just sighed.

Kenta walked out of his room and saw Ryo and Rika together he smiled to himself. He went into the kitchen located towards the far end of the room. He went to grab a pan out of the cupboard and accidentally dropped a few waking the 2 up. He peeked into the living room to see that Ryo had fallen over to the other side of the sofa and that Rika was rubbing her eyes.

"Um sorry about that." Kenta said nervously.

"Hmm? Oh hi Kenta." Rika said sleepily, she looked over to Ryo who had fallen back asleep. She didn't remember falling asleep on him last night and that was probably for the best. "Ugh…how can he fall asleep so fast?"

"He's good at it." Kenta smiled. "Do you like eggs?"

"Yeah." Rika said dazed.

"That's good." He smiled and walked back into the kitchen, he finally got everything he needed when there was a loud annoying knock on the door.

Ryo woke up and walked over to the window and noticed there was a not so happy Shadow Creature at the door.

"Rika go hide!" He whispered to her.

Rika looked around but didn't know where to go, so Kenta grabbed her and hid her in one of the closets. The knocking was harder and louder this time.

"Open up! I know you're in their!" The creature hissed.

Ryo's and Kenta's outfits changed like magic, they were both wearing that black gi that you see Hiei wearing during the Dark Tournaments. Except only Ryo had the bandages on his hands and legs.

Ryo opened the door to the very unpleasant Shadow Creature. He was wearing a black ninja outfit with only his 2 blood red eyes showing.

"I'm looking for the Princess, Ryo!" It hissed rudely.

"She's not here." He growled.

"I know she is! Master can see all or have you forgotten?" It asked.

"I have not forgot, but I think Master has lost his mind." Ryo mocked, taking this all like one big joke.

The creature grabbed his shirt and pushed him against the wall.

"Look I know she's here, so just make it easy on yourself and give her up or I'll tear apart this house brick by brick." It growled very loudly.

Rika could hear everything that was going on. She didn't like the fact of hiding but she wasn't that strong.

"Have you forgotten who you are dealing with?" Ryo asked. "A Nyearth can take out 1,000 Shadow Creatures in one blow. And who lives here?"

The creature started to tremble but still tried to put on a tough act.

"None other the Kenta the Nyearth of Middle Kingdom." Ryo said like a stupid show host.

"You make it sound like I'm royalty." Kenta said blandly.

"The Master's orders are for the Princess and if you are going against those orders then you shall receive the same end as she will face." It hissed loudly. "Now hand her over!"

"You are very demanding." Ryo stated, his eyes flashed red and then there was a deep darkness when all cleared there was nothing left of the creature and Ryo dusted himself off.

"Great now they know she's here and now we've committed a federal crime!" Kenta yelled. "Do you know what this will do to my reputation?"

"You had one of those?" Ryo asked trying to lighten the moment.

"Ryo! This is not funny!" Kenta yelled. "Now the Master will be all over us and soon we'll be as good as dead!"

"Well at least Rika's safe." Ryo said.

"Well now you guys need to get out of here ASAP or they'll be all over your butts in a matter of minutes!" Kenta stated.

Rika walked out of the closet holding her bow and an arrow.

"I'm ready to fight!" Rika stated. "I'll end this war if I have too."

"Nothing can kill a Nyearth except for one stronger then it or an Amira, and since you're neither of those I suggest you let us fight." Ryo said.

"What do you mean us?" Rika asked slyly. "You said you were human!"

"This is not the time for this, Rika." Ryo said backing up.

"And why not?" She growled. "I have all day!"

"Actually no you don't." Kenta said. "We have about 5 minutes!"

"Ok Kenta are you with us?" Ryo asked. Kenta nodded. "Most likely Kazu will be too."

Ryo grabbed Rika's hand and ran out the door Kenta followed and as soon as they got outside black wings formed on Kenta's back and he spread them out and went towards Kazu's house.

"I'll be back with Kazu!" Kenta yelled and then started flying off as fast as he could.

Ryo pulled Rika towards the Northern exit when Rika stopped and forced her hand out of his.

"Rika what are you doing?" Ryo asked. Rika looked back.

"What about my horse, Akiyama?" She asked rudely.

"Never mind, we need to get out of here now!" Ryo yelled.

"And how is that? Take another raft and travel 200 miles while they catch up to us because they can fly?" Rika yelled. "Face it Akiyama we're trapped."

Ryo balled his fists and then looked up and saw a Nyearth land right next to Rika.

"How right she is." It laughed, no hissing just pure laugher. "You know Ryo it's no use trying to save her, it's useless."

It walked over to Rika and pulled her next to itself.

"Let her go!" Ryo yelled his eyes turning blood red.

"You know her family must be killed!" It smirked the same smirk that Ryo was so famous for.

"You killed her father isn't that enough?" Ryo asked getting into a fighting stance.

"Not until her whole family is gone!" He smiled tightening his grip on the struggling girl.

"Let me go!" Rika screamed.

"No!" He laughed. "So Ryo how does it feel to know that you can't do anything for the people you care about? It sucks doesn't it?"

This just made Ryo angrier. "She didn't do anything to you!"

"No, but her father did." He glared at the girl. "Your father killed my wife, and for that none of your family deserves to live."

Rika hung her head low and then the creature disappeared with her. Kazu and Kenta then arrived and walked over to Ryo who was now on the ground.

"Where's the Princess?" Kazu asked looking around.

"Master got her." Ryo said quietly beating himself up on the inside.

"Well let's go save her." Kazu said standing tall and firm, ever so optimistic.

Ryo looked up at him and gave him a weary smiled.

"Let's"

Alice had fallen asleep on her horse when she felt a tapping on her back again.

"What do you want, Henry?" Alice asked mumbling in her sleep.

"Henry? Who's Henry?" Jeri asked. Alice jumped up and looked at the brunette.

"You're late, Jeri." Alice growled. "I told you to be here at sunrise."

"Oh I know but I had to beg and plead to my father to get him to lend me his horse." Jeri squealed.

"Ugh, whatever." Alice said in a very unpleasant voice. "We're behind a few hours now."

"Well why do we go now." Jeri smiled so brightly. Alice plopped her head back onto her horse and let out a deep sigh.

"We have to wait for Henry." She sighed.

"Ok…" Jeri asked. She looked back and noticed a boy on a horse coming over to them, she lightly tapped Alice on the back.

"Ugh! What now!" Alice yelled making Jeri almost cry.

"Uh, is that the boy you were talking about?" Jeri pointed and Alice looked back and nodded her head.

The boy came over to them and smiled, he was holding a little girl in-between his arms.

"Ok, I'm ready now." Henry smiled. Alice looked over and sighed.

"Henry this is Jeri, Jeri meet Prince Henry." Alice stated.

"Why hello your highness." Jeri bowed.

"Just call me Henry." he smiled. "And this is my sister Princess Suzie, but just call her Suzie."

"Great can we go now?" Alice growled.

Henry and Jeri looked at each other then looked at Alice, Henry smiled.

"Of course."

"Good then let's go." Alice said heading for the exit. Henry and Jeri followed close behind on their horses.

--

"Since the Master brought her to his castle he will probably torture her for a while before he decides to go in for the kill." Kenta said.

"That's good." Ryo said and they both looked at him funny. "We can go get Alice and bring her back here, she should help."

"Alice?" The both said in unison.

"Yeah, just someone else I met." Ryo said.

"Sheesh man you're always surrounded by girls." Kazu sighed.

"Yeah and now one's going to be dead because of me." Ryo sighed as well.

"Well let's go get her then." Kenta smiled. And both Kazu and Ryo nodded. They all extended their wings and flew off. (Pay close attention Yup, yup)

--

They all had been riding for a while now and were very bored. No one said a thing and it might have been because they didn't want to get on Alice's nerves anymore then what they had. They were now deep in the forest. And the only things that were making noises were the birds.

"How much longer till we get to the North Kingdom?" Jeri asked so bored.

"About a day." Alice said sternly but was also falling asleep at the same time.

"Great!" Jeri said sarcastically.

Henry just happened to look up when he saw 3 black dots in the sky. He figured they were birds so there was nothing to worry about.

Suzie then looked up and noticed those little black dots were getting bigger and bigger by the minute.

"Henwy I don't think those awe biwds." Suzie pointed. Henry looked up and noticed that they were closer too.

"Well whatever they are their heading right at us." Henry stated. The other 2 girls looked up to see what they were talking about.

"It's hard to tell what they are now, but the closer they get the easier it will be to find out." Alice smirked pulling out her sword.

Henry also pulled out a weapon but his was a tall stick with Elven words carved into it that said: Quick and Intelligent. He like Alice and Rika had gotten his when he was younger from the Lady of the woods. His was finely crafted, made from the strongest metal the elves had. (Pay close attention again)

Jeri looked around and noticed their weapons, she had none though.

"Are we going to fight?" Jeri asked sacredly.

"Might be." Alice stated. "Henry give Suzie to Jeri. Me and you and going to fight."

Henry did as he was told. Funny thing royalty listening to a peasant. He moved forward and lined his horse up with Alice's.

"They look like Nyearths." Alice whispered not wanting to frighten Jeri and Suzie anymore then what they were.

"Great." Henry said uneasy.

"You didn't expect this to be easy did you?" Alice asked.

"I didn't expect this." Henry stated. Alice just smiled and then looked up as the creature landed on the ground.

"Ryo?"

--

"This is where you will stay until I say other wise." The Master laughed.

"Why do you want me dead?" Rika asked. "I wasn't even alive when your wife died!"

"I know." He laughed. "I didn't want you dead until 7 years ago."

Rika just stood their with anger in her eyes.

"Maybe Ryo will tell you one of these days." The Master said throwing in her weapons. "I'll give you these, when I go to kill you I want a fight."

"How will Ryo tell me if I'm gonna be dead?" Rika yelled.

"Oh he'll be here for your first and last fight. I can see it in his eyes, he'll do anything to save you." He smirked.

Rika walked over to the other side of her cell and sat down burring her head in her arms.

"Sleep tight Princess for tomorrow you fight me." He laughed and left.

--

"Yeah." Ryo said walking over to the blond. His wings disappeared.

"You're a Nyearth!" Alice said shocked. "I knew you were up to no good."

"Look I need your help." Ryo said. Alice looked around.

"Where's Rika?" Alice asked staring him directly in the eyes.

"That's what I need help with." Ryo said. "She was captured by the Master."

"He's going to kill her!" Kazu said walking over to Ryo.

"Who are you?" Alice asked.

"Never mind that, Alice! Are you going to help or what." His eyes narrowed as he held his arm out so Kazu wouldn't go past.

"I told you guys not to go into Middle Kingdom!" Alice growled and the sighed. "Fine I'll help."

Ryo looked over and noticed the other 3 behind her.

"That boy too." Ryo pointed.

"That's Prince Henry!" Alice stated. "You can't expect royalty to help out!"

"I will, there must be some reason he chose me to help." Henry stated. "Jeri, you stay out here with Suzie. We don't need either of you getting hurt." Alice nodded.

"Kazu, Kenta you guys also stay out here." Ryo stated.

"What! Why?" Kazu asked.

"You guys aren't nearly as powerful as I am." Ryo stated.

Kazu and Kenta sighed but they knew it was true. Alice and Henry both jumped off their horses and walked over to Ryo.

"So why didn't you tell me you were a Nyearth in the first place?" Alice asked rudely.

"Cause you would have tried to kill me." Ryo laughed.

"So why do you need us?" Henry asked.

"A Nyearth can sense great power, and you two have it and so does Rika." Ryo stated looking off in the direction of the swamp.

"Well then I guess we should get going." Henry stated. Ryo walked over and grabbed both their hands and disappeared along with them.

"What's going on?" Jeri asked hugging Suzie tightly.

"Rika is a Princess from the East and she got kidnapped by the Master." Kenta stated.

"I hope she's alright!" Jeri squealed.
