"Daisuke, we need to talk." Satoshi walked up to Daisuke, looking rather disturbed.

"What is it, Satoshi?" Daisuke asked.

"As much as I hate to admit it, I'm going to need Dark's help to catch Life. Would you two help me?" Satoshi asked.

"Of course we'll help! I want to know how she knows I'm Dark." Daisuke replied.

'Help the commander, Daisuke? Why not just do it on our own?' Dark's voice sounded in Daisuke's head.

"It'll be easier with help." Daisuke said authoritatively.

'fine' Dark receded into the back of Daisuke's mind.

"He's not happy about working with me is he?" Satoshi asked.

"No, but he'll do it." Daisuke smiled.

"Um...hi..."Amy said quietly, coming up behind Daisuke.

"Hey!" Daisuke cried surprised, but happy to see her.

"Hello." Satoshi replied, a little more subdued.

"What's going on?" She asked, seeing daisuke's and Satoshi's glum faces.

"Oh, it's nothing." Daisuke smiled.

Amy inspected their faces. "You know, you can tell me anything. You are my first real friends in... a long time." She looked down.

Satoshi patted her on the shoulder. "Thank you." He said softly, then walked off. Daisuke smiled, the followed him. Amy sighed and slumped against the lockers.

:-P

"Wanna play catch?" Life giggled and leapt away, flying through the air. Dark attempted to grab her, but the girl slipped out of his grip.

Suddenly, Satoshi flew out of nowhere, tackling Life. "Ahh! Efil!!" Life cried.

Out of a shadowed wall, a black haired girl materialized. "Life! Use you're powers!" Efil shouted.

"I-I cant! He's still human! Efil!! He's almost got the painting!!" Life struggled under Satoshi.

Efil rolled her eyes. "You and your compassion! This is a battle!" She charged a ball of power in her hands, as black as her hair. Then she threw it at Satoshi.

"Efil, NO!" Life screamed, and Dark leapt in front of the blast. Upon being hit, he was thrown back into Satoshi and knocked him off Life. With, that, the two girls took off, taking the priceless work of art with them.

"Damn! They got away!" Dark exclaimed.

"Not without a small tidbit of interesting information..." Satoshi muttered.

"What do you mean?" Dark asked.

"I mean Life asked me to help her when I had her pinned down. She said: 'Save me from this hell my parents have my sister and I locked in.'" Satoshi looked at Dark, and looked startled to see Daisuke standing there.

"It looks like we have a struggling soul, seeking guidance, seeking our help. Maybe, if we can get through to Life, we will get out territory back," Daisuke raised and eyebrow.

Satoshi shrugged. "But how? How can we show Life that there is error in her ways, and save her?"

"Maybe it all lies with in the question she still has yet to answer. Who is she?" Daisuke suggested.

"But she only answers that if we catch her," Satoshi replied.

"I know..." Daisuke muttered. "I know."

:-P
