Chapter 9

"We don't want you here anymore, you traitor!"

"I will have her controlled! Warrior of Darkness, stay with that imbecile girl and make sure when she wakes up that she is under my control or I'll have your head!" a voice screamed and woke Alex up. She slowly opened her eyes and tried to remember what happened. The last thing she remembered was freeing Kouji...What happened after that?

Suddenly, a crash came and Alex immediately sat up. The door was swung open. It was a steel door and it hit the wall which was rock, so the sound was horrific. "Warrior of Love, you're awake," the voice said and a figure stepped toward Alex.

Alex sprung to her feet and backed away slowly. "Stay away from me," she said with a bit of a frightened voice. "I mean it! If you don't, I'll-" She stopped suddenly because just as she was saying her last sentence, she was reaching for her D-Tector, but it wasn't there. She backed up some more until she felt a wall. She closed her eyes and waited to be killed or worse.

"Why aren't you controlled, Warrior of Love?" the voice asked. Alex could tell that it was close to her now. "Answer me now!" A sword was put up to her neck and she could feel its blade against her neck.

"I don't know," Alex answered and took a deep breath. "I'm not sure how I wasn't controlled, but I think it has to do with pain."

"Pain, is it?" the voice asked in a sarcastic voice.

"Yes," Alex said and stood straight, opening her eyes. She wasn't afraid anymore. "Pain." She paused. "You may have lost your parents as well, Kyle, but you have never known true pain."

Kyle was still Darkagoomon, but he still heard Alex's words to himself. He lowered his blade and took a step backward. "No, I know pain, Alex, maybe that's why I'm controlled," Darkagoomon stated.

"Wait, you know you're controlled?" Alex asked, surprised.

"Yes."

"Why aren't you fighting it?"

"I can't fight it," Darkagoomon stated.

"Glaciusmon fought it," Alex stated coldly.

Darkagoomon slapped Alex across the face and she fell to the floor. "NEVER COMPARE ME TO HIM AGAIN!" Darkagoomon screamed at Alex.

Alex looked up at him with fear in her eyes. It was the first time she felt really afraid of Kyle. He had always been close to her and even when they were enemies, she never felt afraid of him at all. "Darkagoomon, you've experienced true pain, having the girl you love fall in love with someone else." Alex sat up and touched her cheek where he slapped her. "I deserved that from you, Darkagoomon, but I don't deserve it from Kyle. He has no right to slap me."

Darkagoomon just glared at her. He didn't know what to say after that. "Turn into Kyle, Darkagoomon," Alex said with sweetness in her voice. "Please Darkagoomon..."

Suddenly, Kyle's mind went blank. Darkagoomon was completely in control. "What do you want me to do, girly?" Darkagoomon asked.

Alex raised an eyebrow at him. "What did you call me?" she asked.

"What are you going to do about it?" Darkagoomon asked.

"What did you do with Kyle?" Alex asked, glaring at him.

"Who now?"

"Kyle, my friend, my enemy, a lot of things," Alex stated and smiled at Darkagoomon.

"Are you trying to annoy the crap outta me?" Darkagoomon stated, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course not," Alex answered. She thought about what to do before saying, "Um-I wanted to tell you that I talked to Metawomon and she-uh-told me to tell you something."

Darkagoomon glared at her. "What was it?" He paused and Alex was just about to say something when he continued, "If it's about that perfect little traitor, then I don't want to hear about it."

"You mean Glaciusmon?" Alex asked, pretending to be confused.

Suddenly, Darkagoomon punched the wall closest to him, making Alex jump. He looked at the ground and leaned his arm against the wall. "What do you know about it?"

Alex took a step closer to him. "I know a lot about it actually," Alex answered. She took another step and kept getting closer until she was almost right beside him. "Metawomon told me about it. And, I'm sorry." Alex's eyes started to water and tears fell down her face slowly. Darkagoomon looked up at her with a state of confusion on his face. "I know how you feel, Darkagoomon. I-I'm the same way." She smiled sadly at him.

"You aren't," Darkagoomon stated coldly. "You look like you've had a perfect life with perfect friends, perfect family, and a perfect-"

"I haven't," Alex interrupted. "My friends abandoned me, my family left me, and the only person I have ever loved doesn't see me as anything more than a friend. My life's been no picnic, but I agree. It's nothing compared to yours."

Darkagoomon looked at Alex's sincere face and he felt as though he was back with Metawomon. Then, he felt content. He closed his eyes and started glowing. Alex widened her eyes as Darkagoomon changed back into Kyle.

"Kyle!" she yelled and ran to hug him, but he pushed her away. He was still controlled. Alex fell to the floor and got a determined look on her face, having just come up with an idea. She stood up and walked straight up to Kyle so they were only a few inches apart.

"I love Kouji," she stated simply. Kyle's eyes grew wide and they started to shake. He couldn't take it. The pain was too much for him to bare, so he let it go and fainted.

Alex smiled and kneeled beside him. "I'm sorry, Kyle, but you needed to feel real pain, and well, love is real pain. Jealously, hate, wrath; they all come from love and I had to do it, for your sake and mine."

The Rest of the Gang...

"So, how are we going to find Alex and save her?" Kouichi asked when the whole gang was back together. Lucas's plan for freeing Junpei had worked perfectly. When he saw Izumi in Takuya's arms, he went berserk. Every one else was perfectly fine. Izumi and Junpei hadn't gotten up yet, but Lucas, Stuart, Tomoki, and Kouichi were sitting around a fire, deciding on what to do next. Takuya was looking in on Izumi. Kouji was sitting in a tree, thinking.

"I don't think there's anything we can do," Stuart answered with sadness in his voice. "We don't know if Tomoki, Takuya, Kouichi or I are immune to the music or not, so we can't risk trying to save her without knowing that. Besides, that guy, Kyle, is bad news. You could tell that just by looking at him."

"If only we could figure out why I was immune to it," Lucas stated, looking on his laptop. "I'm trying to analyze the wave lengths, but it's difficult for me."

"We don't really know the tune, Lucas, so you can't do anything like that," Kouichi stated, trying to think on it.

"I know, but I'm trying," Lucas stated. "I only know that it started out like this." He continued to hum a few notes, really badly, and went back to his work.

"That sounds familiar," Tomoki said quietly. "I think I've heard it before."

"Sure, Tomoki, you've heard of a song that a Digimon plays," Stuart added sarcastically with a roll of his eyes.

"It's the theme song of my favorite show!" Tomoki stated with confidence. Everyone fell down anime style and Lucas blinked at him. "It's called Tsubasa!"

"Can you hum it for me?" Lucas asked seriously. Stuart started yelling about why a little kid knew a song a Digimon played to Kouichi who was trying to calm him down. Meanwhile, Tomoki started humming the song and Lucas recorded it.

Lucas typed a few things in on his computer that made his eyes widen drastically. "I never expected this," he stated. Kouichi, Tomoki, and Stuart crowded around his computer.

"What is it?" Kouichi, Stuart, and Tomoki asked at the same time.

Lucas closed his laptop and fixed his glasses. "It controls people who have never felt true pain," Lucas stated firmly.

Kouichi, Stuart, and Tomoki all blinked in confusion.

"It means that-" Lucas started, but was interrupted.

"It means that they've had a perfect life with everything perfect," Kouji stated, jumping down from his nearby tree where he was listening and thinking. "Why I was controlled, I don't know. I haven't had a great life at all."

Lucas sighed. "True pain is when you give up on the world and let darkness take over," Lucas stated, mostly to Kouji. "I don't know much about you, Kouji, but it seems to me that you've always had hope in your life, until right now. I guess something Alex said or did changed your hopes. Now, maybe you don't have any."

Kouji glared at Lucas and then looked down. "How should I know? I don't know what she did to me, probably put some evil spell on me or something," he stated. "She's downright annoying, always running off and pretending that she's so tough when she can't even last two minutes by herself-"

Suddenly, without warning, Stuart punched Kouji in the stomach. Kouji fell to his knees and glared up at him. "What did you do that for?" he asked through gritted teeth.

"Alex has been through more than you know, you jerk," Stuart stated firmly with death in his eyes. "Before, when you guys asked about Alex, we lied. Lucas and I do know what happened to Alex. She told us not to tell you guys, but this is the last straw for me. I can see why you've never felt real pain until now Kouji."

Kouji continued to glare. "What happened to her that was so horrible?" Tomoki asked, interested.

Lucas sighed and looked at Stuart who looked back at him. "When Alex was little, her parents died in an accident-" Lucas started.

"So? Accidents happen all the time-" Kouji started defensively.

"It wasn't that kind of accident," Stuart interrupted. "Alex's parents were murdered. The police did investigating, but they never found out who did it. Everyone in town believed it was Alex, but the police had no evidence to support it so they let her go. Her friends abandoned her, her neighbors wouldn't talk to her, and she wasn't fed well at the orphanage she was sent to, all because of it. The thing that kept her going was the thought of a chance at a new life. Where she got the thought, I'm not sure, but she had it up until a few weeks ago."

"She felt true pain when she saw her old best friend at the park. Earlier, she had defended herself against him, but now, she was defenseless. He plagued thoughts into her head and all her hope disappeared. She didn't want to go on with life until she got the message to come here. When we met her, she never smiled and never had a single thought about anything or anyone but herself," Lucas continued.

"We yelled at her and told her to grow up, thinking something stupid happened to her. She told us about it and we tried to comfort her," Stuart stated with a sigh. "Yet, all she wanted to do was leave and talk to the Digimon outside. I have no clue as to why, though. Maybe she's just weird-"

"Or maybe I just wanted to talk to someone whom I thought didn't want to judge me," a voice said from a tree above them. The gang looked up and Alex jumped down from a branch. "You guys are really dense, you know that? I flew here when you were all listening and everything and you didn't even notice," Alex said with a sad smile.

The guys were shocked. "And I'm not surprised about your attitude, Kouji," Alex continued. "Kyle was the same way when I freed him. It takes effect about an hour after you're freed. And then, another hour for it to ware off. And I bet the others will be effected as well. But, I guess you finally figured it out though, the reason Lucas and I weren't controlled. That's a good sign. Maybe you aren't as dumb as I thought."

Still, the guys stood, shocked. "How-why-what?" Stuart got out. He couldn't believe Alex was there, right in front of him.

"I freed Kyle, had him steal my D-Tector, and we fled. Cowardly, I know, but there was nothing else we could do," Alex answered. "I came back to find you guys because I thought you deserved a full explanation of everything. And I will tell you what in a little while."

"How do we know that you aren't being controlled right now?" Kouji asked, glaring at her. She looked at him, knowing that the after spell would ware off, but still upset about his glaring.

"I have no way to answer that, Kouji," Alex stated with sadness in her eyes as she looked at him.

"Then, leave, go away," Kouji yelled at her. "We don't want you here anymore, you traitor!" Kouji jumped back into his tree and left her there.

That struck a cord and Alex lowered her eyes. She took out a book from her backpack, the book actually, about the Warriors of the Past and gave it to Lucas. "Read this out loud to everyone once they've recovered, please. The after spell will ware off soon."

She looked straight into Lucas's eyes and he asked, "Will you be coming back?"

"No," Alex answered.

"NO?" Stuart asked in surprise. "What? WHY? You can't do that!"

Alex turned to Stuart. "We'll meet each other again, if fate wants us to, and maybe, by then, I'll have everything figured out," Alex stated. She turned back to Lucas and added, "I'm sorry about your mother."

Lucas widened his eyes and stared at her as she walked away. With one last look at them, she turned into Metawomon and left for somewhere else.

"How could you just let her leave?" Stuart asked Lucas when Alex was out of sight.

"How could you?" Lucas asked Stuart who just dropped his head, knowing that he couldn't fight Lucas. "This book might explain a lot, so hopefully, everyone gets better soon so we can read it and find out what's so important to Alex in it, although I think I know what." Lucas looked up at the tree Kouji had jumped into before and Stuart looked at him as if he was mental.

(A/n: Well, did you like it? Another hint about Lucas's past...I just love keeping you in suspense! How about the after spell? It's effect isn't permanent because the people under the flute's control don't remember why their hopes were lost. Do you know why Izumi and Kouji were freed? I do! At least about Kouji...still working on the whole Izumi part. I'm thinking about it though. I don't know how to explain it. I'll figure it out, eventually! WHEET-WHOO!)
