Hey there ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for your lovely reviews, and thank you for reading in the first place. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, here's the next Chapter.
We followed Genai to his Home at the Lake…which, I guess, was still under water due to renovations.
We gathered together in the living room and took a few minute for the others to ease out of their shock. I guess they've never been in a house under water before….
When they finally calmed down, we looked up at Genai, expecting answers to this sudden call.
"Right. Thank you all for coming. As you may have noticed, there is some trouble here in the Digital World. The skies have gone Dark and the climates are acting up dangerously. Digimon are losing their lives just trying to walk home in a monsoon." said Genai, emphasizing his words.
"What's causing it?" asked Yolie.
"A man, Yolie, that seems to have the power to cross between worlds." Genai Answered.
"Like Aruchenimon?" Ken questioned.
"Yes, Ken, but this is no Digimon, nor is he a creation from some other being. This is a man that has a power over Darkness." said Genai. He pushed a button on the wall and a large metallic platform rose from the floor in the center of the room.
"Whoa!"
"Yeah, kind of cool huh? I had it installed a few months back for video games, but it's really handy for photo projections. Now, look at this." Genai pulled out a mini controller and pressed a button. A holographic projection of a man with a black hood appeared. He was wearing a short Black Trench coat that split at the legs and he seemed to be sporting Military styled clothing under the coat. The hood was pulled up, shadowing his face so we couldn't see it.
"This is the Shadow. We don't know much about him, or what his objective is, but we know he is Dangerous. We also know that he is the one messing around with the weather. He blocked out the sun with a shroud of Dark clouds as you may have seen. Again, you may think this is no big deal; however, it is a symbol of Darkness. To block the Sun is to block all living light." explained Genai.
We all stared at the man with the hood. He stood Military Face, legs spread out and hands behind his back. "Now, take a good look at this." said Genai. He pressed another button and the projection disappeared, a woman taking its place.
She was really quite attractive I must say. She had waist-long Black hair with gray ringlets in the front. She wore shoulder plates made of bone and a large blade was produced from one of the shoulders. Clothing was rather skimpy I'd say, kind of like a belly dancer: Strapless bra and bikini bottom style with transparent Shawls over her legs and back.
"This is Megara. She is aligned with Shadow and supervises the regions. She is the one who controls the creatures that came to this world."
"What creatures are we talking about?" asked Kari.
"These."
He pushed another button and a large, skinny figure took her place.
It was a dog like creature with no neck, head placed directly on the shoulders, and more muscle than a Spanish Bull. Its Paws were massive and reached the floor. With a closer look, I took note that it had human shaped hands, massive, but human shaped; including long slender fingers and large palms. There was literally no waist on this guy. All you could see was the vertebrae that held the figure up, and then the hips, and large Dog Legs that bend forward. Its large, bushy tail twitched back and forth. Its eyes shone with a silver color.
"What is that?" Cody barely got out. My description was pretty much a sugar coat compared to actually seeing one of these. We all backed up a step in fear. Projection or not, it was frikkin' scary!
"This is called a Night Walker. There are quite a number of these, actually. You see, these things move in packs, and each pack has a leader. This is Tzadik, leader of the Waterpaw Clan. It's the largest pack, and the most powerful. They have gone and ravaged villages and Cities, destroyed homes, and took lives. That Tzadik, he's a heartless one alright."
"Is that the only thing that came here?" asked Davis.
"No. There are many more. But I'm sure you can take care of them. The creatures I really want to you worry about are the Night Walkers, and these." Genai pressed yet another button.
A similar creature took the dog's place, only this had the appearance of a Lion. It was pure black with shining golden eyes.
Don't get me wrong, I know the different between a PANTHER and a LION. This was a LION; Mane, Tail, and all.
This creature wore Gold armored plating on his Chest and Shoulders. A Large Battle axe was strapped to his back and a fierce sword at his belt. He stood upright like a proud Trojan Warrior.
"This is a Blood Harvester. They're known to kill any random person just because he doesn't like their clothes or the way they look. They have very ruthless tempers, but incredible patience in raids. They move in Packs as well, but not as often. You'll find many rouge Blood Harvesters as you go through the Southern territories, so be careful. They're very brutal."
Another step back.
"This is Jaganu, leader of the Fire Clan. I hear he is the most brutal of the Blood Harvesters."
"Are these things considered Digimon? The look pretty scary to me." said Yolie, pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose.
"Yeah, and we've never seen them before anywhere the whole time we've traveled here." added Ken.
"No. They are creatures from another world. We believe they came from the Realm of Darkness." Genai answered.
"Realm of Darkness?" I questioned.
"A world that is made up of nothing but darkness." said Genai. We all looked at each other.
Do you understand just what this is?" Genai asked. We nodded.
"Good. There is something else I need to show you. Wait a sec." He said as he turned off the machine. It disappeared into the floor once more. Genai disappeared into another room for a moment, then came back with an old tattered scroll.
He walked over to the table and set it down.
"Now, before I tell you anything. T.K., Kari, I must ask you to leave and not to listen to what I am about to tell the others." said Genai firmly.
"What? Why?" I asked. Everyone else looked shocked as well.
"Trust me. This is of the utmost importance." He said. Kari and I looked at each other, then left the room. We walked out the door to the deck, where the glass pane kept the water from entering the house.
"This is a little weird." said Kari lightly, as if stuff like this happened a lot.
"Heh, a little?"
"I wonder what's going on in there?" she questioned and lay down.
"Anyway, I'm still tired, so good night."
"Yeah." I said and looked down at her tired figure. "Good night."
---
"Why did you ask them to leave Genai? Aren't they a part of this, too?" asked Cody.
"Yes, they are but in another way. This is a prophecy that we came across sometime after you defeated MaloMyotismon. When the clouds came, we looked to this scroll. So far, everything fits the Prophecy perfectly." He said and unrolled the scroll.
It was in a different Language, it looked like Gaelic.
"We managed to translate this to out language. Listen."
When the Sky Turns Black and Nature turn on the Innocent, the battle of the Soul will begin.
Hope will fall to despair, Light will give way to hate, Faith will become blind.
The Children of Light shall be consumed by Darkness, all their Life will drain to Death.
The last shard of Light will fall before the Darkness, leaving only Hate in its Soul.
The last shred of Hope will Wither and grow Cold, leaving only Ice in its Heart.
The last trace of Faith will Fade into a Dark Abyss, leaving only Emptiness in its Wake.
Only the Reliability and Kindness of Love and Courage can pull Hope back to Day.
The Children of the Sun can Renew their Faith, and Revive their Hope, Yet they have only this to ask themselves:
How much Darkness must be tread to bring back the Light?
"What does it mean?" asked Yolie.
"It means that something big is going to happen, and T.K., Kari, and another child is going to get caught up in one Hell of a mess." answered Genai.
"But who is the other person?" questioned Davis.

Pant, pant, pant, 'Okay! That's it! When I get back, I'm signing myself into a mental group!' Sonya thought as she ran. First the little metal thing glows some bright color, then she ends up in some strange wood, and now there is a giant frikkin' cat chasing her! What a wonderful day!
Pant, pant, pant.
'Wait; is that a village up ahead?'
Yes! Saved!
She ran to the village in hopes to find help, but instead she found a giant red and purple rabbit thing.
'What the…?'
"Hello there. Where'd you come from?" he said, sounding a little startled.
She didn't answer due to a loud roar that was heard from outside the village.
"Looks like you're being chased. Follow me." He said and ran off to a cottage on the other side of the village.
Ignoring common sense, she followed the three and a half foot rabbit into the house and locked the door behind her.
'What was that?' she thought to herself.
"Well, we should be safe in here. My name is Electmon. Who are you?" said the rabbit.
She looked around, then pointed to herself in asked 'you're talking to me?'
"Yes, you. Do you see any other humans in here?" he joked.
She swallowed hard. She was virtually a mute around strangers, whether there was trouble or not. She just couldn't bring herself to speak.
"Lady of few words I see. That's alright. Could you at least write it out so I know what to call you?" he said kindly.
Sonya blinked and looked around there was a pen on a table. She picked it up and, not being able to find paper, wrote out her name on her hand.
"Sonya, eh? Pretty name. You know, you remind me of someone I know." Electmon scratched his chin.
Sonya blinked again and tilted her head slightly.
Electmon laughed.
"Yeah, he used to look at me the same way!"
'What? Who?' She wrote on her hand.
"His name is T.K. Takaishi. He's a really great kid, very sweet. He's about your age now." He said with a smile.
"You know, you look just like him. Same face, same hair color, you even act like him."
'Do you know where I can find him?'
She didn't know why, but she felt as though this boy could be the source of the pain she felt. She couldn't place it, but that's what she felt. The name, it was so familiar to her for some reason.
"Yeah. He and his friends left for Genai's a while ago. I don't really know where that is, but even if I did it's too dangerous to leave." He answered.
You're responding a little quicker now, why won't you talk?" asked Electmon.
Sonya's eyes shifted somewhat.
She pointed to her throat and shook her head.
"You can't speak?"
Pretty much.
She nodded.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't to badger you like that." Electmon apologized.
Sonya shook her head, saying it was okay.
That wasn't really a lie; she hardly even spoke to her own parents. That was still a rarity in itself.
There was another roar, this time further away.
"Sounds like it's leaving. What was chasing you?" asked Electmon.
'I don't know, it was like a panther, only it was on two legs.'
"Sounds bad. There are some ruthless creatures out here. Where's your digimon?"
'Digimon?'
"Yes. Digimon are the native inhabitants of the Digital world, that's where you are now. Different digimon have different abilities. I'm a digimon that can use lightning attacks against my enemies. Most digimon are very friendly, though you may find some that aren't." the digimon explained.
Sonya pointed behind her through the door, indicating to the cat that chased her.
"Oh no. That's not a Digimon. That's an otherworldly creature. There are many of their kind, and they're not supposed to be here." said Electmon distastefully.
Sonya blinked a few times and thought to herself.
'I wonder if he knows about this….' Sonya pulled out her digivice and showed to him.
"Oh! So you are a digidestined! A digidestined is a child chosen by the Digital World to fight evil. There are different symbols for each digidestined. Which one do you have?"
Sonya shrugged.
"Let me see it then." Sonya handed the device over to Electmon and let him examine it.
"Why, It looks like you have the symbol of Faith." He said intrigued.
'Symbol…of Faith?' she thought, looking at the device that was now back in her hand.
"I've never heard of any other digidestined with that Crest. It must be of absolute importance if you are the only one."
Sonya looked up.
"So, you don't know who your Digimon Partner is? This is your first time here, isn't it?" asked Electmon, checking out the window.
Sonya nodded, uncertain of everything she was being told.
"Well, you shouldn't worry too much. I'; sure you'll meet your partner soon." The digimon assured.
Sonya took a moment to think, then nodded. She walked over to the window and looked out with Electmon.
"It looks like the coast is clear. We can go back out now." He said and opened the door.
"Do you remember how you got here?" he asked. Sonya shook her head.
"Well, here. I'll show you. Most Digidestined travel back and forth through a T.V. or Computer." Said Electmon and he started to walk through the Village.
"There is one just outside the city if you want to go back. You look a little exhausted."
Sonya sighed, realizing that she was indeed very tired from the pursuit. She still needed time to think about everything she was just told.
"Do you want to go home now? You could rest here if you want." He offered.
Sonya smiled and shook her head. She wanted to go home.
"Alright, follow me." and he ran to the village gates.
Sonya jogged after him and went through the gate, feeling a sense of alarm, like she was being watched. She hated that feeling.
"Here's the T.V. It will take you back to your world." said Electmon. Sonya walked up to the T.V., then turned and smiled at Electmon, saying thank you.
"It's my pleasure. I hope to see you again soon!" he said and waved.
Sonya turned to the T.V., unsure of what to do. She pulled out her Digivice and held it in front of her it began to glow a brilliant Green once more and then she was gone.
"Huh, what a strange kid." said Electmon fondly and re-entered the village.
---
T.K. opened his eyes as a sudden wave of fear surged through his body. He took a deep breath, staring forward. He didn't move.
"T.K? What's the matter?" I asked.
T.K. didn't answer her; instead he just let the air out of his lungs and fell back to the floor, the feeling vanishing.
"I don't know. I just felt like something was chasing me for a minute there." He answered.
"But T.K., you're not going anywhere." I told him.
"I know. I just had the feeling is all."
"Well that's weird."
"Yep."
"T.K., Kari. You can come back in." we heard Genai's voice through the door.
T.K. and I looked at each other, then got up and entered the room.
"Now then…What as that about?" asked T.K. as we entered.
"I've given the others strict orders not to release the information. You two must be excluded for a very important reason. I can't tell you why, but we'll see how things turn out." explained Genai.
Deep down, I felt resentment toward them for keeping us out of the loop; but if Genai said it was important, then we should trust him.
"Now, I suggest you get back to your world. The Harvesters are starting to swarm the area." said Genai.
We agreed and he took us back to the shore.
"I heard a sound from Primary village area. Be careful as you go back." said Genai.
"Thanks Genai." said Yolie.
"But, where are our digimon? We haven't seen them at all." said Cody worriedly.
"Don't worry. I had them stay in a safer area because the Harvesters were beginning to over run here. You'll see them when you return." answered Genai.
"Now, get going." And we were off. We followed a small trail back to Primary Village. It was a pretty short walk, which was good. We didn't run into any of the creatures Genai talked about, which was also good. We entered the Back end of the Village and made our way through. On our way, we saw Electmon making his way from the front gates.
"Hey Electmon!" we greeted once more. He looked up and smiled.
"How did it go?" he asked.
"Pretty good. Now that we have an idea on what we're up against, we can fight these guys and drive them off!" said Davis confidently.
"Well that's good to hear. Say, you just missed a girl that had passed through here." Electmon informed.
"Really? Who?" asked Yolie.
"She said her name was Sonya, more like she wrote it. She never said a word. She had to write everything out for me because she couldn't talk." said the digimon.
"You know, she reminded me an awful lot of you T.K." he added, looking up at T.K.
"How?" he asked.
"She had the same face and personality. Do you have a sister or something that you never told me about?" he asked jokingly. T.K. blinked.
"No."
"Well, in any case…She just left through the T.V. She was chased here by one of the Cat tribe's hunters. This was her first visit to the Digital world; poor thing was scared to death. Any way, I better get going. I'll see you guys later!" Electmon waved goodbye and headed off.
"Huh. Another Digidestined Like T.K.? That's scary." Davis joked.
T.K. however looked more interested than humorous. He didn't answer Davis's comment, but instead just continued to the T.V. set. We entered the Gate and landed in our respected areas. I happened to land on top of my brother, who had fallen asleep in front of the Computer.
"Kari, you're crushing my spleen." He managed to get out.
"Can't move. Deal with it." I uttered out. I really was too tired to move, so Tai just pushed me off and sat up.
"So, what'd he want?" he yawned.
"There's major trouble in the Digital world. A man named Shadow came from the world of Darkness and just took over! He brought these monsters with him, and they've been going around ravaging and killing innocent digimon!" I explained, feeling a little angry at the thought.
"Sounds pretty bad. Anything else?"
"Yeah, but Genai told me and T.K. to leave before he explained the rest."
"What?! Why?" asked Tai, shocked.
"He said it was very important that we didn't know about it, and that we'll see how things turn out."
"Well that's pretty messed up." said Tai angrily.
"Yeah, but Genai's never led us off before, so we should trust him." I said.
Tai sighed and lay on the floor.
"Well, it's still late, so we'd better get some sleep." He said and we both got up to get to bed.
"Is that honestly what you sleep in?" he asked.
I punched him in the arm.
"Shut up." I said playfully.
Well, there it is. And once more...Advice & suggestions are accepted.
