Chapter 8: The Odd One Out
Hey everyone! It's me, sakuraphoenix, and I'm back with a new chapter! I know, this is the part where I come up with an excuse as to why I'm so late with the updates. Surprisingly, I don't have any, so all I can say at this point is sorry for the late updates, big time. Anyway, it's disclaimer time.
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's
Enjoy!
"The entrance to the forest kingdom should come up after this field." Said Bokomon
"Field? This is more like a jungle!" exclaimed Zoe
"To succeed, one must have faith. One must stay positive. One…" started Bokomon
"Get off my head!" exclaimed Jack
"Hmm?" asked Bokomon
"For someone so small, you weigh a lot! Too much food is really bad for your metabolism!" exclaimed Jack
"Party pooper." Bokomon said as he landed on Neemon
"Don't you worry Z, I'm sure we'll find the way. You wanna know why?" asked J.P.
"Ugh, why?" asked Zoe
"Coz we're fighters! That's why! We don't give up and we never quit!" exclaimed J.P.
Five minutes later, Jack and J.P. both looked like they were ready to give up. Not to sound like a party pooper, but just how long is this field?
"I give up I quit." J.P. said while slouching his back
"You're not the only one." Jack said while doing the same
"What happened to that fighting spirit you two?" I smirked
"I got hungry." said J.P.
"And I got hot and sweaty." Said Jack
"We'll take a break after we get out of this field, okay?" asked Zoe
"If we can… make it… that far." Said J.P.
"Same here." Said Jack
They both then landed face-down in the grass.
"Now what? We don't have time to horse around." Said Zoe
"Seriously Jack. I knew you were lazy, but I didn't know you were willing to fall asleep in the grass." Said Crow
"Say that again and I'll turn that ginger hair of yours into a bulls-eye!" Jack exclaimed livid
"Stop arguing you two. Come on Jack." I said as I offered him a hand
"Here." Zoe said as she offered her hand to J.P.
I noticed that J.P. was drooling and blushing as he stared at Zoe's hand. Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound, and a pint-sized Digimon with a horn just shot out of the area next to us like a bullet train!
"What in beet's name is that thing?!" J.P. exclaimed
"I was about to say 'what in the name of Red Dragon Archfiend is that' but what you said works too." Said Jack
The little Digimon just stared at us dumbfounded.
"Tsunomon, come back at once young man! I've had enough of your shenanigans for one day!" exclaimed a cactus-like Digimon
She then looked at us like she was amazed to see us.
"My goodness gracious. What a lovely surprise. You're humans." Said the cactus Digimon
"Human beings?" wondered Tsunomon
Seeing the little Digimon caught off guard, the cactus picked him up by the horn, and introduced herself as Togemon.
"Aw come on, let me go! I'm never going back to that nasty school!" cried Tsunomon
"I didn't know Digimon had to go to school." Said Zoe
"Me neither, though I'm tempted to say 'I'm not surprised'." I said
"Man, this world is full of surprises." Said Crow
"You can say that again Crow." Said Yusei
"That's where they'll learn the skills they'll need as full-grown Digimon." Said Bokomon
"What kind of skills do they learn? Jumping and eating?" asked J.P.
"Be serious." I said as I gave J.P. a light Gibbs-slap
"How exciting. I've never seen real live humans before. I know. Why don't you come to the school with us? I'm sure the children would love to meet you." Said Togemon
"Not me! I'd rather go home! I'd rather watch grass grow!" exclaimed Tsunomon
"We'd love to see the school, but I'm afraid we don't have time to stop and chat." Said Yusei
"He's right. You see, we're headed for the forest kingdom." Said Zoe
"This is an important mission, one that cannot be delayed." Said Bokomon
"You know things to do, people to see. You understand." Said Jack
"Oh, I was hoping you'd join us for afternoon snack time." Said Togemon
"Afternoon snack time?! Why didn't you say so?! We are there lady!" exclaimed J.P.
I then punched him at the top of his head, and he crashed on the ground. When he came back up, there was a huge bump on the top of his head.
"What'd you do that for Sakura?" cried J.P.
"J.P., could you not think with your stomach for once? Of all the people we could be stuck with, why'd it had to be you?" asked Zoe
"Because it was written in the stars?" offered J.P.
I gave him an elbow jab in the stomach this time.
"Save it." Zoe said before J.P. could complain again.
We then got out of the field, and I saw a small building on the plains below our feet.
"That's the Digimon School over there." Said Togemon
That was the school? Wow, it sure was small.
"That's it? It looks like one of the houses the three little pigs built." Said J.P.
"You can say that again. I've seen garages bigger than that." Said Jack
"Don't make me hit the two of you." I said while cracking my knuckles
The two of them screamed before they hugged each other. We safely got to the bottom of the ledge, and Togemon got some kind of phonograph while the kids began saying some kind of motto.
"Welcome humans to our school, where we learn and play all day. We think our teacher's really cool, so we hope you'll want to stay. Welcome humans to our school, where we learn the Digi-rule. Play and play, that would be cool!" all of the kids, minus Tsunomon said in unison
Zoe then bent down near a while Digimon that looked like a snowy bear without the body, but still kinda cute.
"You are so cute!" exclaimed Zoe
The little Digimon got scared, and half-froze Zoe.
"YukimiBotamon, if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, don't ice the visitors! I'm so sorry!" exclaimed Togemon
"Oh, it's okay." Said Zoe
"I'm sorry!" exclaimed Togemon
"Poor thing. Did I frighten you?" asked Zoe
"Yeah, just a little bit." Said YukimiBotamon
"Now I wouldn't mind seeing Jack as a frozen Popsicle." I whispered to Crow
"Good one!" exclaimed Crow
"What are you two talking about?" asked Jack
We both looked at each other with the same grin on our faces before we laughed.
"I mean it!" exclaimed Jack
"Ha! I was all by myself when I ran into the humans and I wasn't scared, not even a little!" exclaimed Tsunomon
"Whatever." Everyone else said in unison
Okay, now something's fishy. All of Tsunomon's classmates seem to ignore him, as if they don't want to even converse with him. I kinda know how the little guy feels. We later moved into the school building after the others began playing around in the yard for a bit.
"Story time! Class, we're in for a real treat today. Instead of a regular old story, our human guests will tell us all about the wonders of the human world. Would you like that?" asked Togemon
"Yes please!" everyone exclaimed, minus Tsunomon
"Well perhaps the big blue human would like to go first." Said Togemon
"Do you mean me?" J.P. asked while pointing to himself
"No, she means Jack. Of course you J.P." I said while trying to hold back my laughter
"Very well Professor J.P., the class is all yours." Said Togemon
"Professor? I'm no professor. I'm only in the seventh grade." Said J.P.
"Oh don't be so modest. Your class awaits professor." Zoe said while elbowing J.P.
"Professor." Said Bokomon
"Professor." Said Neemon
"Professor! Professor! Yay!" every kid Digimon in the classroom exclaimed in unison, except for Tsunomon, again
Doing the robot walk up to the front, check. Pale face, check. He's nervous, and I don't need to be a doctor to know that.
"So, uh, the human… world has a lot of cool things like, uh, hankies to wipe your nose with, if ya had noses." J.P. said while performing a magic trick
Cue the anime falls and sweat drops. Plan b, and it looked like Crow had the same idea I did.
"And toothpaste that fights plaque. Awesome stuff, right?" asked J.P.
"These kids need leadership." Said Bokomon
"Or a plan b. Seriously Bokomon, you aren't going to lecture these kids, are you?" asked Crow
"I suppose you know more about children than I do then." Said Bokomon
"He does. He takes care of the kids who don't have homes back in the human world. He taught them how to have fun even though they didn't have a lot to have. The people of the Satellite lived in a different world than I did, but it makes me grateful for the things I used to take for granted." I said
"Besides, you kids wanna see what we do for fun in the human world?" Crow asked while readying his duel disk
Everyone jumped up and down while we moved outside. I was the only other person who had my duel disk out and ready.
"Ready Saki?" Crow asked as he activated his Duel Disk
"Ready as I'll ever be, but for Pete's sake, will you ever stop calling me that?" I asked in annoyance after I activated my Duel Disk
"Not for a while." Said Crow
"Fine." I sighed defeated
"Let's duel!" Crow and I exclaimed in unison
Crow LP 4000/ Sakura LP 4000
"Ladies first! I draw! For my first move, I summon my Ally of Justice Garadholg in attack mode! (ATK: 1600/ DEF: 400/ LV: 4) These face-downs will do the job." I said
Crow LP 4000/ Sakura LP 4000
"Then it's my move! First, since you control a monster and I don't, I can summon Blackwing-Sirocco the Dawn without a sacrifice! (ATK: 2000/ DEF: 900/ LV: 5) Next, I special summon Blackwing-Bora the Spear (ATK: 1700/ DEF: 800/ LV: 4) and Blackwing-Gale the Whirlwind! (ATK: 1300/ DEF: 400/ LV: 3) Next, instead of attacking your monster one-by-one, Sirocco can combine his attack points with Bora the Spear, and there's more, Gale's gonna cut your Garadholg's attack points in half! (ATK: 800) Alright Blackwing Bora, take out her Garadholg! Now there's my one turn kill combo!" exclaimed Crow
"More like your one-turn blunder. I activate my trap! Magic Cylinder!" I exclaimed
"What?! Oh no!" exclaimed Crow
Crow LP 0/ Sakura LP 4000
"And that's my 100th win against you Crow." I said
Crow obviously wanted to make a comeback, but held back seeing that everyone was watching. Even Tsunomon had gotten out of his slump for a moment to watch, but as soon as he noticed that we had noticed, he treaded back inside the school, and returned to his seat, resuming the position he was in before.
"Recess!" exclaimed Togemon
Everyone then started playing; except Jack was more focused on getting a tan in that monkey suit of his while Yusei was talking with Crow, whom were talking to some of the kids about dueling. I then noticed Tsunomon on the rock, and J.P. was playing wresting with the other kids.
"Hey buddy, Tsunomon! What are you doing? Why don't you come over and hang with us?" asked J.P.
Tsunomon looked happy to be invited over. Before he could, Kapurimon, Yaamon, Jyarimon, and Nyaromon all said:
"Not him!"
They all hopped away after that, and Tsunomon looked sad. Why are they so afraid of him?
"Hey guys, where are ya off to?" asked J.P.
"Fine. I really didn't wanna play with those losers anyway. Digi-wrestling is lame." Tsunomon said
He then accidentally hopped on my head on the other side of the rock.
"Hey, the rock's suddenly soft." Tsunomon said out loud
"That's my head." I said
"What are you doing here anyway? Get lost." Said Tsunomon
"It hurts, doesn't it, playing tough when you're really hurt inside, right?" I asked
Tsunomon then looked at me shocked.
"I don't know why your peers are afraid of you, but, if you need help, don't worry, you can talk with me." I said
"Thanks, but I don't need help." Tsunomon said before he hopped back into the school building.
I got up and walked back to the building, but before I did, I saw J.P. and Zoe argue a bit. What's gotten into her?
"Time for P.E." said Togemon
Togemon blew the whistle, and they began playing a game of soccer.
"I can't tell which is the ball and which are the kids." Said J.P.
Kapurimon currently had the ball, and was, well, head-butting it, since he didn't have legs. Tsunomon then ran alongside him.
"I'm open! Pass it to me Kapurimon!" exclaimed Tsunomon
Kapurimon just took a glance at Tsunomon, but didn't pass the ball.
"Aw, hey." Said Tsunomon
"Atomic Bomber Tail!" exclaimed Nyaromon
The ball landed right in front of Tsunomon. He raced to get it, but Kapurimon deliberately tackled Tsunomon.
"What'd ya do that for?!" exclaimed Tsunomon
Kapurimon then began crying, and Tsunomon just stood there.
"Kapurimon, are you okay?" asked Togemon
"But I'm the one who got hit." Said Tsunomon
"Poor Tsunomon, I don't get why the other kids won't play with him." Said J.P.
"They all probably think he doesn't fit in with them. I know just how he feels." Said Zoe
"It's not that. They're afraid of him. I know how that feels, to be scared of someone else, after all, I was in Tsunomon's shoes once." I said
"You?" everyone else asked in unison
"I would've guessed you were the most popular girl in school Zoe." Said J.P.
"Same here Saki." Said Crow
"You'd be wrong." Zoe and I said in unison
*Flashback*
Everyone was getting ready to leave class, and I had just finished packing and began heading for the door as the bell rang. The classroom fell silent as everyone just watched me walk out, fearing me for my psychic powers. As I walked through the halls, I just silently looked at my bag, until I was tripped by Krystal and her cronies.
"What's wrong loser? Got no one to help you? Where's your sister? Oh yeah, gone, like you should be. Duel Academy is no place for a loser like you." Krystal said before she flipped her hair with one of her hands and walked away
I just stayed silent, and picked up my bag and continued walking, not even bothering to look at the people who just stared at me. Eventually, I went to the New Domino Docks and starred out to the sea, wondering if I could find someone who wouldn't be afraid of who I am because of my abilities, and just be a friend for who I am on the inside.
*End Flashback*
"I guess everyone thought I was uppity, 'coz I lived abroad." Said Zoe
"And everyone was afraid of me, because of my psychic powers before the people I could call my friends saw me for who I am and not the girl with psychic powers." I said
"Well, where did ya live Zoe?" asked J.P.
"Italy. My family lived there since I was a little girl. We moved to Japan a year ago." Said Zoe
"Wow, Italy, huh? That sounds pretty cool." Said J.P.
"Tell that to my classmates. They just want me to act like them." Said Zoe
"Well then act like them. It can't hurt if it helps you make friends, right?" asked J.P.
"J.P., she's not going to waste her time pretending to be a person she isn't just so she can become popular. Believe me; I was hurt by my classmates and peers because they judged me based on my abilities, and not who I was on the inside." I said
"That's right, you're a psychic duelist. But didn't you have control over your powers?" asked Crow
"The month after, you-know-what, happened to Dawn, I had trouble controlling my powers. I figured that out by accident one day when I was dueling against a duel dummy. Even though I got them back under control, enough people had learned that I was a psychic duelist. I know what it's like to be lonely, and no one likes to feel lonely." I said
We soon moved back into the school building.
"Snack Time! Alright now everyone, you know the drill. Open wide!" exclaimed Togemon
Everyone then opened their mouths wide open.
"Here they come!" exclaimed Togemon
"Does that include us too?" asked J.P.
"I guess." Said Zoe
She had tossed some of the white balls that were in her pot in the air, and they were slowly coming back down.
"Togemon Jab!" Togemon exclaimed as she began punching the white ball-like things
Everyone had their mouths wide open, and a single ball landed in everyone's mouth. I have to admit, it's not bad. I then noticed that Tsunomon was the only one who wasn't eating. Man, is he still in that slump of his?
"You okay Tsunomon?" I asked
He just ignored me. J.P. then walked up to us.
"Hey, come on, chin up there little guy. I bet I have just the thing to cheer you up. Everybody listen up." J.P. called out to the whole room
Oh dear. I bet this is one of his plans gone wrong.
"I have a bar of chocolate here for anyone who'll play with Tsunomon!" J.P. exclaimed while holding ten chocolate bars
I was so tempted to punch him on the top of his head. Apparently his brain was non-existent too.
"You doofus! You can't just bribe kids like that!" exclaimed Zoe
"Why not? I mean, what's the big deal?" asked J.P.
"Try thinking with your brain for once in your life, and maybe you'll figure it out." I said in a harsh tone
"Thanks a lot. Now I'm the freak that those guys won't play with even if you paid them." Said Tsunomon
"We wouldn't play with Tsunomon anyway. He's not like us." Said Kapurimon
"Got that right." Said Nyaromon
Everyone else nodded in agreement, and I slammed my fist into the ground, which scared all of the kids in the room.
"I get it now, you're all afraid of him because he's different. Giving him the cold shoulder isn't the right way to go. If you all had been friends with him once upon a time, and if I were Tsunomon, I'd think that you're all just a bunch of cowards who should learn a lesson or two!" I exclaimed
Everyone could then tell I was really, really mad, and from the corner of my eye, I noticed that Tsunomon hopped out of the room.
"Children, how could you?" asked Togemon
"Tsunomon, wait!" I exclaimed
I immediately began to run after him.
"Tsunomon, please come back! Just hear me out! Tsunomon, please!" I exclaimed
"I just wanna be left alone! Leave me alone!" exclaimed Tsunomon
"Tsunomon!" I exclaimed
I kept running after him, and he fell into the river!
"I can't get out! Help me!" exclaimed Tsunomon
"Hang in there Tsunomon!" I exclaimed
I was about to activate my duel disk, but then I remembered that I left it at the school. Plan b. I jumped on top of the stump that was in the middle of the river and held out my hand.
"Just hold on! Try to get a little bit closer! I almost got you! That's it Tsunomon!" I exclaimed
Just as I grabbed his horn, I fell into the river, I didn't have enough time to take a breath on the surface, but at that moment, I felt like someone was holding me. When I got back to shore, I saw a big, blue Digimon; kinda cool looking, with a horn, looking over me in concern. I then saw the Digimon being surrounded by data, and it was Tsunomon! Tsunomon just saved me! On the minus side, I was soaking wet.
Later…
My clothes were on a branch, hanging to dry, and I was trying to be careful to not let the boys see me.
"Wow, we didn't know you could digivolve." Said J.P.
"I sure wish I couldn't. It's been nothing but a royal pain in the neck." Said Tsunomon
"You don't really mean that, do you?" asked Yusei
"Yes, I do. When I first digivolved in front of everyone, we had got a ball stuck in a tree. So I digivolved to help them get their ball back, but… all they saw was a big freaky monster. Now they won't even play with me 'coz they're afraid." Said Tsunomon
"I wasn't afraid." I said after I finished getting my clothes back on
"Hmm?" wondered Tsunomon
"I don't know what would've happened if you didn't digivolve to save me. Thanks a bunch Tsunomon. I owe ya one." I said
"Now, what do you say we get back to the others?" asked Zoe
"Yeah! Maybe there'll be more snacks!" exclaimed J.P.
At that moment, it began to rain, and it was a big storm alright!
"Great, a thunderstorm. What's next?" I wondered
Lightning flashed and J.P., along with Jack, both cowered in fear.
"Jack, seriously? You're afraid of lightning? You're afraid of nothing as Rulermon." I said
"And J.P., are you kidding? You use electric attacks all the time. You can't be afraid of lightning." Said Zoe
"Yeah, but I'm not Jack Atlas when I'm him! He's not afraid to get electrocuted in a storm!" exclaimed Jack
"I'm different when I'm a Digimon! Haven't you figured that out yet?" asked J.P.
Lightning flashed again, and J.P. and Jack both cowered in fear.
"Guys, this isn't the time to be scared." Said Yusei
"He's right. This isn't good. I gotta get back to school!" exclaimed Tsunomon
He then began hopping to the river.
"Tsunomon, what's the rush?" I wondered
We headed back to the river, and the water level was so high!
"When did the water level get this high?!" exclaimed Crow
"No kidding!" exclaimed J.P.
"Ms. Togemon said when it rained this hard before; the water overflowed and flooded the school. If this keeps up, they'll all be washed away." Said Tsunomon
"Washed away?! J.P., Jack, Yusei, Crow, Sakura, we have to do something!" exclaimed Zoe
"We have to Spirit Evolve. We'll get to them faster if we fly. Yusei, Sakura, and Jack won't be able to, so Crow, you, and I will have to carry them. After that, we can try to use our combined strength to save the school from the floodwaters." Said J.P.
"Good thinking J.P." said Zoe
"It's worth a shot." Said Yusei
"Yeah." Said Crow
"You said it." Said Jack
"Right on." I said
All six of us all activated our D-Tectors, and a ring of data surrounded our hands.
"Execute! Spirit Evolution!" We all exclaimed in unison
"Beetlemon!" exclaimed J.P.
"Kazemon!" exclaimed Zoe
"Lunamon!" I exclaimed
"Rulermon!" exclaimed Jack
"Starmon!" exclaimed Yusei
"Wingmon!" exclaimed Crow
"You digivolved! Awesome!" exclaimed Tsunomon
Crow got me while Zoe got Yusei and J.P. was stuck with Jack. We flew back to the school, and Jack set down Tsunomon.
"Here you go kid." Said Jack
"Thanks a lot Rulermon." Said Tsunomon
"We'll have to divert the water with something big, like one of those rocks! If we all work together, we should be able to save the school." Said J.P.
"Why J.P., you're pretty brave when you wanna be." Said Zoe
That earned him a sweat drop.
"Uh, thanks." Said J.P.
"In the meantime, we'll try to create a way to block as much water as we can!" exclaimed Yusei
"Right! First, we'll use one of the rocks, and then after that, create a wall using our attacks to divert the flow of the water." I said
And we better do it fast! Here comes the water!
"Let's move it!" exclaimed Zoe
"I summon the power of Thunder Fist!" exclaimed J.P.
"Forcing Judgment!" exclaimed Jack
With their combined strength, they made a crater around one of the rocks, and lifted it up with just raw strength.
"Alright, let's rock!" exclaimed J.P.
"Now tell us, where do you want this?" asked Jack
"How about a little to the left?" asked Zoe
"You got it!" exclaimed J.P.
Jack and J.P. got behind the rock, and used their strength to keep it in place.
"Yusei, follow my lead! Planetary Laser!" I exclaimed as I pointed my scepter to one side of the water flow
"Star Shot!" exclaimed Yusei
"Hey, Zoe, Crow, a little help here? Yusei and Sakura can't help us forever." Said Jack
"No problem. Hurricane Wave!" exclaimed Zoe
"Here I come. Rapid Wind!" Crow exclaimed as he used his wings to generate more wind
It looked like we did it, but then Kapurimon slipped, and he was hanging on a tree by the tail, literally! What can we do? We can't move, unless…
"Tsunomon! Go get him!" exclaimed J.P.
"You're the only one who can do it!" exclaimed Jack
"I can't." said Tsunomon
"You saved me, so you can do the same for Kapurimon!" I exclaimed
I then noticed a huge log on the way! Uh-oh!
"Tsunomon!" exclaimed Yusei
"You can do it!" exclaimed Zoe
"Just believe in yourself!" exclaimed Crow
"Tsunomon!" All six of us exclaimed in unison
Tsunomon then jumped into the air.
"Tsunomon, digivolve to…" started Tsunomon
Tsunomon was quickly surrounded with data.
"Gabumon!" exclaimed Gabumon
Gabumon then ran up to us, and used J.P. and Jack to get up onto the rock.
"Time for Blue Blaster!" exclaimed Gabumon
Using the force of Blue Blaster, he broke the log apart with his horn, and saved Kapurimon! In no time at all, the rain subsided, and everyone surrounded Gabumon, after we were back in human form of course.
"You were terrific!" exclaimed YukimiBotamon
"No kidding? You mean I don't scare you anymore?" asked Gabumon
"Not a bit." Said YukimiBotamon
"You were really awesome!" exclaimed Nyaromon
"We're sorry for being scared of you." Said YukimiBotamon
"Aw shucks guys." Said Gabumon
"Gabumon?" asked Kapurimon
"Huh?" wondered Gabumon
"Thank you for saving me. I can't wait for the time I can digivolve too! Hope I'm as cool as you are!" exclaimed Kapurimon
"Kapurimon, you're making me blush." Gabumon said while trying to hide the fact he really was blushing
Later, we were all surprised when Togemon and everyone else presented a boat for all of us to use.
"We made this boat for you in craft class. We hope it'll help you." Said Togemon
"Thank you madam. We'll get to the Forest Kingdom in no time." Said Bokomon
"And I won't have to carry you." Neemon said as we all got into the boat
"It was nice meeting all of you." Said Zoe
"Hey Tsunomon, you're not afraid of digivolving anymore, are you buddy?" asked J.P.
"Nope. I'm gonna keep on digivolving. One day I'll be as strong as the Legendary Warriors!" exclaimed Tsunomon
"Actually, Zoe, J.P., Sakura, Jack, Yusei, and Crow are six of the…" Bokomon started before we covered his mouth
"Bokomon!" I exclaimed
"Zip it, would ya?!" exclaimed Jack
"Thanks for everything you guys." Said Yusei
"It was our pleasure." Said Togemon
The wind blew, and we were on our way.
"I'm flying like a mighty fruit bat." Bokomon said at the front of the boat
I really enjoyed the wind in my hair. It definitely was a pleasant feeling.
"This feels just great." Said Zoe
"Yeah. You know, I'm glad those kids changed their minds about Tsunomon." Said Crow
"Yeah, me too." Said J.P.
"You wanna know what else?" asked Zoe
"Uh, sure Zoe." Said J.P.
"I think I changed my mind about you a little too." Said Zoe
"Same goes for you Jack. Not enough to sway what I already think about you, but enough to consider that maybe you have changed for the better." I said
"Really?!" Jack and J.P. exclaimed in unison
"Just a little." Zoe and I said in unison
I know I can't change the minds of the people who have already graduated Duel Academy, but there are people I know who respect me for who I am and not my powers as a psychic duelist. Maybe one day, people won't be afraid of people like me or Akiza anymore.
"Look, our comrades have returned!" exclaimed Bokomon
And perfect timing too! We're all together again.
Done and done! Wow, this one took me a while! I'm glad I finally finished! Please review, and until next time, I'm sakuraphoenix, saying I heart you, signing off for now. Kan dao ni!
