Chapter 3
Sincerity comes only to those who know it, Ceritymon
Izumi woke up the next morning in the same bed she slept in the night before. She went downstairs to the kitchen to see if anyone had started breakfast yet. What she found was Junpei sitting at the table eating a bunch of apricots. There were apricots everywhere in the kitchen.
Izumi looked at him with a weird look. Junpei just then noticed her. "What?" he asked.
"Where did all these come from?" Izumi asked, pointing to the mounds of apricots piled everywhere there was room.
Junpei looked around. "Oh, those!" Junpei said. "Well, I was hungry and no one was up yet so I went back to the Apricot Forest to get these."
"But we just had them yesterday!" Izumi practically shouted. "We had them for breakfast and for dinner. I think that's enough apricots for a while."
Izumi walked into the kitchen and opened a cabinet. It was full of apricots. She opened another and it was full of apricots. "JUNPEI!" Izumi shouted, very angry.
"Yes?" Junpei asked, taking a bite of an apricot.
"Where did all the normal food go?" Izumi asked him.
Junpei shrugged his shoulders. Izumi was just about to straggle him when Alex walked into the room. "I can see you liked the apricots, Junpei," Alex said and smiled.
Izumi forgot about the apricots and asked, "Are you okay now?"
Alex nodded and picked up an apricot. "Perfectly fine," Alex replied. "What happened after I fell unconscious anyway?"
"Well, Junpei got the spirit of reliability and then we came back here," Izumi explained. "Lucas said that we have to move since 'the evil' knows where the spirits are located."
Alex sighed. "Where is all the decent food around here?" Izumi asked Alex.
Alex perked up. "Decent food?" she asked. "Oh, other than apricots! Well, yesterday Stuart was making pancakes, but I think when Wingaramon attacked us, they got burnt." Alex looked in a cupboard. In it were apricots. "I guess there's only apricots left, but there's still apple juice!" She opened the refrigerator and revealed the apple juice.
Izumi sighed. "Great," she said.
Lucas walked into the kitchen next and saw the apricots. "Where did all these apricots come from?" he asked.
"I got them from the Apricot Forest," Junpei answered, biting into his third apricot.
"Well, when the rest of the gang wakes up, tell them to come to the control room, okay?" he asked, picking up an apricot and taking a bite. "Man, I forgot how good these things were." He left them after taking two more apricots.
Izumi sweatdropped. "Does anyone not like these things?" Izumi asked, holding up an apricot.
Alex took a bite of an apricot. "I like them, sorry," Alex said. "I'm going to see what Lucas is doing." Then, she walked out of the room, taking the apricot with her.
Izumi sat down in the chair beside Junpei and sighed, picking up and apricot. She bit into it. "I guess these aren't so bad," she said.
"That's the spirit!" Junpei said, taking another huge bite of his third apricot.
Lucas...
Lucas was just booting up the computer when Alex said, "Whatcha doing?" She made Lucas jump and turn the chair around. Alex was standing there, with a confused look on her face.
Lucas turned the chair back around. "You know you shouldn't do that," he said to Alex.
"I know," Alex replied as she sat down in the chair beside him. "Well, what are you doing?"
"Trying to find the spirits before we head off," Lucas answered.
"Oh," Alex replied and shut up for the next few minutes.
Kouji...
Kouji woke up, wondering if Alex was okay now. She had gotten hit pretty hard. He walked downstairs and went past the control room, only to see Alex lying down in a spinning chair, looking really bored and Lucas messing with the computer. When he walked past, Alex saw him.
"Oh, Kouji!" she said, smiling because she now had something to do other than watch Lucas fiddle with buttons. She got up and walked over to him.
Kouji blinked in confusion. Was she happy to see him or would she have done this for anyone? Alex said, "There's apricots in the kitchen and when you're done eating, come here cause Lucas has something to tell us or something like that. I don't really know because the idiot won't tell me."
She finished the last part just before she turned around and headed back towards the chair she was lying in, now concentrating on Lucas fiddling. "Let me try," Alex stated. Lucas looked at her with a "no" on his face and Alex glared at him.
Kouji just stood there and then blinked himself out of it. 'She was just bored and needed to do something,' he thought. Kouji sighed and walked to the kitchen.
Alex got up soon after he left and she looked down at the ground. Then she said to Lucas, "I'm going back up to my room. Tell me when we're leaving."
Lucas stopped and turned around. "Okay," Lucas said. "Are you all right?"
"Perfectly fine," Alex said and held her head up as she walked out of the control room and upstairs to her room.
Lucas sighed. He didn't really know what always bothered Alex, but she was always changing her moods, some days she was cold, others she had smarts...It was basically a random thing. He turned back around and continued searching for spirits, but wasn't having any luck whatsoever.
"You wanted to see us?" Izumi asked. Lucas turned around and the gang was standing there, all except for Alex.
"I wanted to say that we will be leaving shortly," Lucas replied. "Finding the spirits will be difficult, but I'm sure we can do it."
"Of course!" Takuya shouted and held his fist in the air. "We are the Nine Warriors of the Past after all!"
Everyone was happy and busy talking about this and that. Almost everyone was too busy to notice that Alex wasn't there, except for Kouji who was wondering about it.
Alex...
Alex was standing above her bed, looking down at it. Her eyes were in shadows. She set a note on her bed and then walked out of her room. 'I have to do this now more than ever. I have to leave before I mess things up again. Every time I see him, I think of...No...it won't happen again,' she thought as she walked down the stairs.
She could hear everyone celebrating in the control room, so she went the other way, away from the control room. She didn't want them to know where she was going just yet. She quietly opened the door and slipped through it without anyone noticing.
'Freedom,' Alex said, smiling as she stepped outside and started running towards the place she was going.
Lucas...
Lucas walked up the stairs to tell Alex they were leaving. He knocked on her door, but there was no answer, so he opened the door and Alex wasn't there. He walked over to the bed and read the note.
"I should've known something like this would happen," he said and then raced downstairs to tell the others.
Izumi...
Izumi sighed as she sat down at the kitchen table. Junpei was stocking up on apricots for the trip and she just wasn't liking the fact that they had to eat those for another day or two or even more, she didn't know.
"Guys," Lucas said in the doorway.
"What is it, Lucas?" Kouichi asked him.
"Alex is gone and she left this note," Lucas stated. He handed the note to Kouichi to read:
Hey guys,
You guys are probably all huddled around the person reading this right? Well, that's great... Anyway, I wanted to leave...before I messed things up again. Don't ask me to explain. It's a long story. I'll see you at Ophanimon's Castle.
Alex
After Kouichi read the note out loud, Izumi took it from him. "How dare she do something like that!" Izumi shouted.
"Izumi," Takuya started, "maybe she had a good reason to go."
Izumi exploded on him. "So, now you're siding with her?" she asked.
"No, I never said that," Takuya replied.
"Then, you're siding with me?" Izumi asked, hopeful.
"I didn't say that either," Takuya said.
Izumi was just about to jump on him when Kouji and Stuart held her back. "Don't get mad at Alex or Takuya," Stuart said. "They didn't do anything bad."
"Yes they did!" Izumi retorted.
"No, Alex said she needed to leave and Takuya is just trying to help," Stuart replied.
"So, you know what's bugging Alex?" Kouji asked.
"Not exactly," Stuart answered, knowing he shouldn't tell them.
The gang all looked confused, even Izumi cooled down.
"What he means to say is that we know something is bugging her, but we don't know what," Lucas explained, also hiding the fact that he knew.
"Yea, what he said," Stuart replied.
"How do you not know what is bothering her?" Tomoki asked, the most confused.
"She never told us what was bothering her, but we could tell that something was, ever since we first met her," Lucas answered. "She never seemed like the type to be a Digidestined. She just never fit the role and she knew it."
"See, Lucas got his spirit first and then we found this place," Stuart continued. "One day when we were exploring, we went to the Apricot Forest and there we met a Digimon. It attacked us, so Lucas stood up to fight, but failed."
"I wasn't strong enough then to beat it," Lucas explained. "When I failed, Alex wanted to help, so the spirit of love helped her, but she didn't exactly defeat the Digimon."
Stuart laughed. "The Digimon just looked at her and then stopped attacking us," he said. "He said that Metawomon was the cutest Digimon he'd ever seen."
"Alex wasn't used to that kind of attention though," Lucas continued. "She blushed like crazy and we just had to laugh." He started laughing too. "From then on, she went out every single day."
"We didn't know what she was doing though," Stuart replied. "She never told us."
"So, where did she go?" Izumi asked.
"Just to get away maybe..." Lucas answered.
"But why?" Kouichi asked. "Why would she want to leave?"
"I don't know, but I know she's confident in herself and in the fact that she could really mess things up," Lucas replied. "We'll leave now. Everyone ready?"
Everyone nodded their heads and they set off. The bad part was that Lucas didn't get a chance to locate a spirit, so they would just have to find them on their own. Something about that seemed hard, but otherwise they liked this plan better.
Alex...
"I really can't believe it, can you?" Alex asked. She was talking to a small Digimon that looked like a bunch of rocks thrown together. He was a Gotsumon. They were talking in Gotsumon Village.
"Why can't you believe that you may actually like someone as a friend?" Gotsumon asked her. Gotsumon and her were old pals. "You like me as a friend, don't you?"
"Yea, but this is different," Alex said and shifted uncomfortably. "This is way different."
"How so?" Gotsumon asked.
Alex looked down and sighed. "I don't know, it's just different," she answered. "I can talk to you about anything and that's what friends are for, but I just can't talk to the gang at all. Except..."
She stopped there and Gotsumon looked at her. "Except what?" Gotsumon asked.
Alex looked at him and answered, "Except Kouji. I feel like we've known each other for so long even though we just met." She put her head in her hands and groaned.
"Kouji?" Gotsumon asked. "He's back?" He looked at Alex hopefully.
Alex looked confused at him. "You know Kouji?" she asked.
"Yea, him and me are buds!" Gotsumon replied. "I helped him find his beast spirit and ever since, we've been best friends."
"Great," Alex said sadly. "Then, he'll come here. I guess I'll have to move on." She stood up and smiled at Gotsumon. "Take care of yourself, okay?" Her face had the sweetest disposition ever.
Gotsumon gave her a thumbs up. "I always do!" he said. Alex smiled with her eyes closed and then started walking towards the Forest Terminal.
"Wait," she said. She turned back and said, "Don't tell the others I was here. I can't have them following me like that. I don't want anything to happen to any of them."
Alex started on her way and never looked back until she heard Gotsumon scream, "If you weren't Kouji's, I'd surely take you!"
Alex stopped when she heard that and her face got as red as a tomato, but she walked on, trying to keep from turning back and pounding Gotsumon's face in.
The Rest of the Gang...
"Hey, there's a town up ahead!" Tomoki yelled. He was always the one to spot things. The gang looked ahead and there was a town there. It looked like it was made of rocks. They all ran there, wondering if they had anything to drink for all the gang had was apricots.
"Welcome to Gotsumon Village!" a sweet little Gotsumon told them at the entrance.
"Gotsumon Village?" Kouji asked. "You guys don't think-"
But Kouji was interrupted by a yell from inside the village, "KOUJI!" It was Gotsumon, the Gotsumon from the last time the gang was in the Digital World.
Gotsumon ran up to them and smiled at Kouji. "Come in!" Gotsumon said and dragged him into the village. The rest of the gang followed. Gotsumon led them to a house that was made of stone and asked, "So, what brings you to Gotsumon Village?"
"We're looking for a human girl around our age and about this tall," Lucas said, approximately showing how tall Alex was with his hand.
"Human girl?" Gotsumon asked like he was hiding something. "Haven't seen any today, nope, none."
"Well, if you do, tell us as fast as you can," Stuart said. "She could be in danger."
"Danger?" Gotsumon asked nervously. He sighed. "You got me. She made me promise not to tell you she was here, but I never thought she was in any danger. She seemed okay to me. Me and her are old friends, I had to help her out, you see."
"How long ago did she leave?" Kouji asked.
"A few minutes ago," Gotsumon replied. "She said she didn't want any of you to get hurt. Very brave, Alex is, even if she might be very foolish."
Lucas had his laptop out. "Counting on the speed of Alex's walk and the time she left, she's not too far away from here," he established.
The gang sweatdropped. "Even I could've figured that out," Junpei said.
"Let's just go find her!" Izumi shouted and the gang all ran outside to try and find Alex.
"EXECUTE!" Lucas and Junpei shouted. "SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" They changed into Tundremon and Sabermon.
"We'll go ahead," Tundremon yelled at the gang.
The gang nodded their heads and the Digimon were off.
Alex...
Alex walked at a decent speed with no stopping whatsoever. She turned back only for a second, thinking about what Gotsumon had said, but took no more turn arounds. Soon, she came to a desert-like area. 'If I go out there, I'll definitely be spotted, yet I have to go,' Alex said and took one step out on the desert-like area when the ground started to rumble.
Something burst out of the ground and it made Alex fall over backwards. She looked at it. It was a giant worm. 'That's disgusting,' Alex said and made a face. 'Guess I'll have to take out the trash.'
"EXECUTE!" Alex yelled, holding her D-Tector. "SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" She changed into Metawomon.
The worm had giant fangs and huge bulging yellow eyes. It's body was covered in slime.
Metawomon flew up to be face to uh-worm eyes and fangs-with the worm. "I'll give you one chance to get out of my way peacefully!" Metawomon shouted.
"My duties were to kill the Warrior of Love," the worm Digimon said. "And that I shall accomplish!"
The worm's tail was now out of the ground and it used its tail to whack Metawomon to the ground. Metawomon dodged it and used, "Love's Arrow," to shoot at it. It hit right in the uh-on the upper tail I think. The worm screamed and swung its tail right at Metawomon which she wasn't expecting so it hit dead on and knocked her to the ground, making her change back into Alex.
At that moment, Tundremon and Sabermon arrived. "Lightning Spear!" & "Fist of Fury!" were said at the same time. They tried to hit the worm-like Digimon, but it dodged it and Metawomon's arrow wasn't hurting it anymore.
The rest of the gang then arrived. "My duty will be fulfilled!" the worm-like Digimon yelled and whacked Tundremon and Sabermon with its tail. They got knocked to the ground and changed back into Junpei and Lucas.
"Great, what are we going to do now?" Tomoki asked. They all felt so useless.
"We have to help!" Izumi shouted. "GET UP GUYS! GET UP!"
Another rumble made everyone fall to the ground. Izumi's D-Tector fell out of her pocket and glowed with a fierce purple light. The ground broke apart right in front of the worm and the glowing stopped it from attacking Alex again. It was a spirit. Izumi grabbed her D-Tector and raised it to the spirit.
The spirit flew into her D-Tector and she shouted, "EXECUTE!" and then, "SPIRIT EVOLUTION!
"Ceritymon!" she yelled when the transformation was complete. Her eyes were a bright green and her hair was flowing blonde down her back. In her hair were flowers of all colors and her mouth was covered by a purple mask. Her body was covered in metal of all different shades of purple and some white. She had the sign of sincerity on her chest and beautiful butterfly wings behind her.
"Wow," Takuya said, stunned.
"Cool!" Tomoki exclaimed.
Ceritymon flew over to the worm and yelled, "Sincere Blessing!" Purple glowing pieces were shot out from her hands and rained on the Digimon. It screamed in pain. "Fractal Code, Digitize!" The Digimon's fractal code went into Izumi's D-Tector and she changed back into Izumi.
The gang ran over to Alex, Junpei, and Lucas. None of them were conscious. "Great, now what are we going to do?" Tomoki asked.
"We have to get them back to the Gotsumon Village," Kouji answered.
"But how?" Izumi asked.
How is right. How will the gang get Alex, Junpei, and Lucas to Gotsumon Village? What adventures await them on their journey? And just how many apricots are they going to eat in this story?
