Grady: Uh….. hiya,
welcome back. We know we haven't been on for a while. So that's
why we back now. And uh….
turns around to see MK
sprawled out on the floor
Grady: He fell asleep
(yeah that works). On with it!
Chapter 9:A light in the darkness
"No, no, no, no, no, and
NO!" Grady screamed to the rest of the team. They were all
standing in front of a gray house. It looked normal enough, except
for the fact that some of the paint was peeling and a couple of the
shutters were coming off the windows.
"What is your problem!"
Karina argued with Grady. "It's a house! The sun is setting, we
need shelter. Do the math.""I'm all for shelter,
but I'd rather sleep in an active volcano than that house!"
"You've got to be
kidding me, you already developed a paranoia and we've only been
here a few days!" Gavin hollered.
"Forget it," Chris
said. "When he decides to come in, we'll already be inside."The team, minus Grady and
Elecmon, went up toward the house. "Are we gonna follow them?"
Elecmon asked."We don't have much of
a choice," Grady sighed as he ran up to catch the team. But what
they didn't know was when they were arguing, something was watching
them.
"The stage has been set,
the pieces have been placed, and now, the specimen has walked in,"The
creature said. "Ah, yes… the boy will be the first to test my
new project." Those silent words flowed with the wind as he
disappeared.
"So I see you decided to
follow us," Luci said."You think I had much of
a choice," Grady managed to huff out between pants.
"Shut it and let's
start looking!" Gotsumon scolded Grady.Grady looked around the
room.There were three paths to take, up the stairs in front of them,
down the hallway to the left, or up the stairs to the right. 'I was
trying to avoid this but…' "We'll split in teams of 4, 5,
and 6," Grady said. "I'd make 3 teams of 5, but that would mean
splitting a partner. So how 'bout this, Will, you, Luna, and Karina
go up those stairs," He pointed to the stairs in front of the door.
"Gav, you, and me go down the hallway, and that leaves Chris, Luci,
and Biyomon to take the other stairs. We meet back here later.
Everyone ok with that?" All the others nodded and headed down their
respective directions.
The silhouette from the roof was now found in a dark room, many screens in front of him. Each one had a different group on them. He had a finger, illuminated brown by the light of the screens, pointed toward the left most screen. On it was Grady, Gavin, Elecmon, and Meramon. "The specimen is drawing closer to the trap," He muttered, his voice as dark as the room. "Soon this world will be mine, and they will simply be pawns in my everlasting rule." He snapped his fingers, and four more shadows appeared in the room. They were all at least a quarter the size of the caller, and each were floating. "Bring him to me," The silhouette said without even turning. They all disappeared and he was alone again. "Soon, very soon…"
Grady: Part one of a very long one. He's still out. Later!
