Naomi's P.O.V
"Excuse me! Coming through!" I said as I ran down the hallway. In the midst of my franticness, I accidentally bumped into someone. "I'm sorry" I mumbled before dashing off again. "Matt! Matt!" I yelled as I ran to his locker. He stood there with his locker open, looking cool as a cucumber. Damn him and his nonchalant vibes.
"What's up, Yomi?" he asked coolly. I was panting. I raised my hand indicating I needed a minute to catch my breath. I leaned down on my knees and took deep breaths.
"Gimme a sec" I said in between breaths.
"Okay". He went back to doing whatever he was doing at his locker before I arrived. I stood up straight again and let a long sigh. I retied my ponytail and straightened the frazzled fabric of my skirt.
"Did your Digivice vibrate or blink or both last night?" I asked.
"Yeah. Did yours?".
"Yeah". He didn't look bothered by it at all. Why is he not bothered by this?! He must've sensed the panic I was feeling because he immediately shut his locker and looked at me with serious eyes.
"Let's go see Izzy". Matt grabbed my hand and we ran to the computer lab. When we got there we opened the door to find Izzy typing away on his computer.
"Oh.. Hey guys" he smiled.
"IZZY! Did your Digivice blink or vibrate last night?" I asked as I sat on the desk chair next to him. Matt walked over to the window and leaned against the window sill.
"Well, yeah. You guys too, huh?". We nodded. "Well, I've been trying to contact Genai all morning. No response yet".
"We have to get Tai and the others. This could be something important".
"They're already on their way".
"What about Joe?".
"He's on his way too".
"Doesn't he go to a different school?".
"Yeah. Well, he is skipping".
"That is so unlike Joe" Matt piped in with a soft chuckle. We heard the door slide open. We saw Kari and T.K. leaning against the door frame, panting.
"We got your message. What's this urgent meeting for?" Kari asked.
15 minutes later
Everyone was here except Mimi of course but we managed to contact her via Skype. "Okay so all of our Digivices started blinking and vibrating last night, correct?" Izzy asked. We all nodded. Then he turned around and started typing something on the computer. "Point all your Digivices at the screen please" he said. We all took out our Digivices and pointed it at the screen.
...
"WOOAAH!" I screamed as I fell onto the ground with a loud thud. I had managed to land on the ground face first. Classic. I winced as I felt a throbbing sensation in my head and shut my eyes from the sudden brightness of the surroundings. "Izzy, what the hell happe-" I started as I slowly opened my eyes. I pushed my body off of the ground and stood up slowly. We had landed in some kind of forest, with brightly coloured plants everywhere. Could it be? "Are we in the..." I asked.
"Yeah" Tai said.
"AAAHH!". There was a loud thud and a very angry Mimi came stumbling out of a bush. "Next time I get teleported, or whatever, here, remind me not the wear heels" she said as she held up her broken heels.
"Okay" Sora shrugged.
"Children!" a voice called. We all turned around and saw a man in a white cloak. He removed his hood and it was Genai.
"Genai!" we exclaimed together.
"Naomi, you finally decided to join us" he smiled.
"Yeah. Have you seen Terriermon?".
"Sorry but no. Come on! Quickly! Before they find out your here" he said as he motioned us to follow him. We went through the woods and found ourselves at the bottom of a cliff. Genai snapped his fingers and the giant rock in front of us split into to two. We followed him in and saw loads of guys in white cloaks, running frantically around the lab, typing away on computers and what not.
"There's more than one Genai?!" I exclaimed, very confused by the sight before me.
"Never mind that. Look" Genai said as he led us to a enormous screen. He hit a couple buttons and the screen lit up. On the screen there was a tall woman with long white hair wearing a huge red hat and a long red dress with a short cape.
"Arukenimon" Davis hissed.
"Wait, you're saying that that's not a woman?" I asked. God has it been a while. I mean sure Piedmon looked kind of human, but he was demented and sadistic clown Digimon. But this lady, well, Digimon, she looked like a completely normal person! Sure maybe she needed to update her wardrobe a little bit and possibly try wearing different colours, but other that that she looked human.
"No, she isn't. She is actually a Digimon taking on a woman as a disguise" Izzy explained.
"Trust me, her real self ain't all that beautiful" T.K. said, matter-of-factly.
"That's an understatement! SHE'S TERRIFYING AS A DIGIMON!" Yolei exclaimed.
"Okay, not human" I said, still slightly confused at the deceiving image before me.
"When Arukenimon is not anywhere to be detected, I need you to go and destroy the control spires. She has been rebuilding all the ones you've already destroyed" Genai said.
"There wouldn't be any control spires, if it wasn't for me" Ken sighed as he looked down at his shoes.
"Hey Ken, it's alright. You're one of the good guys now. What was in the past, is in the past. You're not that person anymore" I said as I placed a hand on his shoulder, giving him a reassuring smile.
Matt's P.O.V
I was shocked. Those were almost the exact words she told me 5 years ago.
Flashbacks
"Hey Matty, it's alright. You're one of the good guys. What was in the past, is in the past. You're not that person anymore" Naomi smiled as she placed her hand on my shoulder.
End of flashback
"And Matt, you'll go with Naomi" Genai said.
"Huh?" I said.
"You, Naomi, T.K. and Kari will take west" he said.
"Oh uhm… right. Er, come on you guys. Let's go". We walked out of that place and were instantly greeted by Gabumon, Patamon, Gatomon and Terriermon.
"Terriermon!" Naomi exclaimed.
"Naomi!" Terriermon exclaimed as they hugged. She let out a sigh of content as they pulled away.
"You're as adorable as always" she giggled as she pinched his cheeks. His cheeks turned a light shade of pink as he gave her a sheepish smile.
"Come on. We better get going" T.K. said.
"Gabumon digivolve to... Garurumon".
"We can all ride on Garurumon's back. Let's go" I sad as I climbed onto Garurumon's back. I extended my hand and helped Naomi up. T.K. did the same for Kari.
"Such gentlemen" Naomi sighed and Kari giggled.
"Hold on tight" I said as I guided her hands to my waist. She nodded and wrapped her arms around my waist. "Let's go Garurumon!".
Somewhere in the Digiworld
"Is this it?" Naomi asked. She looked around and there were black towers everywhere. "Yeah, it is. Forget I asked" she added.
"Gatomon" Kari said. Gatomon nodded.
"Patamon" T.K. said. Patamon nodded.
"Terriermon" Naomi said. Terriermon nodded.
"Garurumon" I said. He nodded.
"DIGIVOLVE!" we said together.
