After the onslaught of all of this information Lexxy had just received, she felt a bit faint. "Mel, I don't think I can go fight Kurayamimon, not after what I've just been through!" Lexxy said, her arms falling limply to her sides.

Mel seemed to be slowly coming out of her trance. "Lexxy, if I know you, and I do, then I know that there is absolutely no way that I can change your mind, but that is only your decision: to go or to stay. Nomon, however, must choose for herself." Mel said as she stared directly into Lexxy's eyes.

"What?" Lexxy blurted, once she had realized what Mel had said. "I can't just let Nomon rush to her death! It wouldn't be loyal of me! Mel, you can't do this! You can't!" She raved.

But Mel wasn't listening; she was going back into her trance. With a gentle motion, she reached up and touched her index finger to the spot between Lexxy's eyebrows. Lexxy stiffened up and then relaxed unnaturally.

Later that day, Kuzumon and Mark heard a cry from up ahead, "Vandals spotted in the wood!"

"Vandals! I knew we should not have come with this caravan!" Kuzumon exclaimed.

"Kuzumon, even I know that there is safety in numbers, besides, what's that chance that they'll bother us?" Mark asked.

"The chance that we are carryin' the most valuable products." Armordillomon said.

"Great." Mark said, sarcastically. Just then, a group of Baronmon jumped out of the trees from both sides of the road, and attacked the wagon that Mark, Kuzumon, and Armordillomon were in.

"Now you get out of my Wagon!" Armordillomon said, annoyed. "Diamond Shell!" he yelled, sending two or three of the looters flying.

"Ancient Wind Strike!" Kuzumon yelled, sending a few more flying off. He also used his walking stick to knock a few more out. But he was thrown off the wagon by the leader, who was dressed entirely in black and red.

"Enough of this fooling around, take the goods and go!" he yelled to his comrades.

"Oh no you don't!" Mark yelled back as he jumped on top of the leader's shoulders and commenced in whacking the leader's head with his walking stick. After flailing around, Baronmon was finally able to pry Mark off of his head, and throw him to the ground. Kuzumon was reviving just as Baronmon pointed a sword at Mark.

"Farewell annoying brat!" he snarled.

"Kuzumon!" Mark wailed piteously. His Digivice began to violently beep and buzz, bathing Kuzumon in a bright light. Once more, another light was lit on the Digivice, bringing the total to four.

"NO! Kuzumon Digivolve to ... KawariAirdramon!" Kuzumon yelled, pushing Baronmon into the trees. He was a strong, sleek Dragon Digimon, who had long claws on his hand wings and long golden into red hair. His long ivory horns were pointed, and his chest was heavily armored. "Avengement! Lost Souls Of The Wind!" he yelled. When he lowered his wings, bright spirits of the wind sprung forth, and scoured the Baronmon from the wagon. Some were deleted, including the leader, and the rest fled far into the wood. KawariAirdramon De-Digivolved back into Kuzumon, after absorbing their data. "That was fun." he said flatly, falling to the ground, exhausted and panting.

"Wow! Kuzumon, that was so cool!" Mark said, running towards his partner.

"Well, it was something ... " Kuzumon was able to say. He leaned his head against Mark, who was sitting next to him, and dozed off.

Caleb woke up, and wished more than ever that he could believe that this was all just a freakish nightmare. But it wasn't. "This isn't a dream, and I need to remind myself that every time I wake up." He thought. He sat up in bed and found that there was another food cart in its usual place. "Weird, I wonder who feeds us?" He said quietly to himself. He decided to explore a bit, and maybe walk the sleep off; he felt almost drunk, drugged. First he felt along the whole of the wall; it was totally impermeable. Then he explored the floor foot by foot; again nothing. The last was the ceiling. He was able to touch it by standing on the beds, and the table. Otherwise he had to explore the smooth surface with his sight.

Soon Michael and the Digimon were awake, and he explained their newest problem. "It's like this room was carved hollow out of one huge rock, how did they get us in here?" Michael said.

"Well I would think that if we got in, there must be a way out." Elsemon said.

"Not necessarily, if Kurayamimon can separate our Chi, then he can most certainly get us into a paradox room." Darikomon said with a sigh.

"So, wait, what is this Chi that you are always talking about?" Michael asked.

"Chi is the energy forces that every being has inside of them. Chi is sometimes separated into two main parts: Masculine and Feminine; red and blue; black and white. If Kurayamimon was somehow able to take our black or dark Chi, then the world is in real trouble." Darikomon said solemnly.

"Why? We can't be that evil." Caleb said.

Elsemon gave him a stern look. "You would be surprised. Without your Light Chi to balance and control it, it will be like a wild-fire like virus running rampant through a computer system, and that's bad news for the Digital World."

"Oh." Caleb said. Their situation really did look bleak.

"But now the real question is, how are we going to get out of here?" Elsemon said. "I mean, we could always try blasting the walls down."

"I would not try that if I were you." A voice said from behind them. They all spun around in their chairs, and Elsemon and Darikomon made a spring for the looming shape of Kurayamimon.

When Lexxy next opened her eyes, Lexxy found herself in a familiar field. "No! Not here! I can't stand to see that girl die again!" But she did. It was the same as before, the Angel died and became fallen; corrupt. Then when Lexxy was chained herself, she felt cold steel piercing the small of her back. She painfully turned around and saw a long limber shape, also clothed in shadow. But then there was a bright light, and the shadow was gone, as well as her pain and shackles. Lexxy tried to look up at it, but it hurt her eyes, even when she shielded them with her hands. She found her tongue loose to speak and asked, "Who are you?" more in wonder, than as a question.

"I am Hikarimon, the God of Light, your Guardian Dragon. Lexxy my child, we have much to discuss." he said. He came partially into view: a glowing white Dragon.

"Hikarimon? But, how do you know me? I've never met you in my entire life." Lexxy said, confused.

"You may not know me, but I know you. You called on my powers to defend yourself and your friends from the pack of Lynxmon, changing yourself into DemiHikarimon."

"Well ... yes, I guess I did." Lexxy admitted. "But, I don't understand, was what I did wrong? And is it right to wage war against Kurayamimon?"

"No, and yes. Waging war for a righteous cause, or fighting to defend yourself is right. Kurayamimon must be stopped. I fear that he has been corrupted by a terribly powerful virus. It is up to you and your friends, both Digimon and human alike, to save the Digital World. You are DigiDestined, you have been chosen to save this world and yours from falling into decay. It is your destiny ... " Hikarimon said. His voice and light began to fade.

"Wait! There is still so much that I don't understand!" Lexxy cried, trying to run after him.

"That you must discover on your own ... Save the Digital World ... You are DigiDestined ... " he said. And then he and his light were gone.

Suddenly, Lexxy's eyes snapped open, only to be looking at Mel. She was standing there, at peace and smiling. And then they both passed out, only to be caught by their Digimon, who exchanged glances of bewilderment and surprise.

To Be Continued ...
