Chapter 8: Terra Nimbus

After a week of flying and sneaking around Cyclonians, we finally made it to Terra Nimbus. What I saw shocked me, everything was gloomy and some kind of energy filled the air.

It wasn't like the negative energy that filled Cyclonia, it was something else. It wasn't tense at all.

"What's up?" Piper asked.

"There's something in the air." I replied, trying pin-point the energy.

"Is it like the energy you've felt on Cyclonia?" Veemon asked.

"No, it's not." I answered, finally finding the source of the energy, "Its coming from that forest behind that ruined house."

The house looked almost burnt down and abandoned. I pull out a kunai, while Piper pulls out her staff and Veemon and Ignis get ready to fight. So, I slowly open the door, to find everything in ruin, there was also a pile of child's block on a worn-out rug.

"By looks of this place, it was abandon a long time of ago." I said, examining everything.

"But, who's house?" Piper asked, as I picked up one of the child blocks and concentrate my chakra into the block.

Soon, I saw images of… Aerrow!?

This was Aerrow's home and there was a woman with purple hair, fair skin and green eyes like his. Not to mention there was also a man with the same red hair, fair skin, and brown eyes.

Could that be Aerrow's father?

But what I really saw, shocked me was the death of his mother, telling him to run. She died to protect her only son.

"Cam?" Veemon asked as tears stream down my face.

"This is Aerrow's home." I barely spoke.

"What?" Piper gasped, shocked.

"His father is Lightning Strike and his mother died protecting him." I cried softly then dried my tears, "Nicole will pay for this. She took Aerrow's family away, his childhood! She destroyed so many lives!"

"We'll stop her, Cam." Piper said.

"She's right!" Veemon smiled, "We'll call for help and stop her and get your brother back!"

"You're right." I smiled as I stood up, "The energy trail is coming from the back door."

So, we left through the back door and walked through the forest. After walking for an hour, we came to a dead end. There was nothing but a huge mountain.

"Great a dead end!" Piper groaned.

"Don't be so sure, Piper." I countered putting my hand on the mountain side.

Suddenly the symbol of Hunter Organization on Arashi glowed then the symbol appears on the mountain glowing. Then a hidden door opened in front of us so, we all went in.

Lumos!

A ball of light appears over my hand, we found tech from my world here. Along with scrolls, books, medicines, and weapons.

"This is amazing!" Piper gasped.

Luckily, I found the power switch and turn it on. Soon the whole room lit up making up see everything. It didn't take long for me to find the main computer.

"Let's hope this still works." I hoped, turning on the computer.

Thankfully, everything still works, and the log-in screen appears on the screen.

Computer: Name and Codename.

"Camellia Anderson." I said, "Codename Tsuki!"

Computer: Camellia Anderson, Codename: Tsuki… Authorized!

We all let out a breath of relief. Thank Merlin, that this computer updates itself throughout the years.

"Alright, time to get to work." I muttered, began to type away, "This is Tsuki, can anyone hear me? Night? Phoenix? Wolf? Kage?"

We can only hear static, but soon I heard a familiar voice. The screen soon clears to a boy our age wearing a black fox mask with his hood up.

That would be Kage, my cousin whose real name is Haruto.

"Tsuki is that you?" Kage asked me.

"Yeah, its me." I smiled.

"You have no idea how it feels to hear your voice again." Kage laughed, "You, Ignis, and Veemon had us worry when you three disappeared like that."

"I know, but what can you do?" I replied.

"Where are you three?" Kage asked, "And who's the chick?"

"Her name is Piper." I answered, "Its alright, you can trust her. Listen something is going on here in Atmos. We need your help."

"Why, what's going on?" Phoenix asked, appearing on the screen.

"I'll give one word, Nicole." I growled, "She's taken over a whole Terra, plus has them under an Imperius Curse."

"SHE WHAT!" everyone screamed.

"Yeah, which is why we need your help." I glared, "I think she also has a few people with magic under her control. We're already gathering forces here, but we need back-up."

"We'll be right there!" Kage said as the transmission shuts off.

"Well, we got that done." I sighed, "I hope they get here before it's too late."

"Now what?" Piper asked.

"We wait." I answered, before an explosion made us skid across the floor.

"Cam!" Piper and Veemon shout.

"I'm fine." I groaned, getting up.

"I was always wondering where this place was." A voice said, making me growl.

"Nicole." I growled.

"Long time no see, Tsuki." Nicole smirked with my brother by her side.

"Not long enough." I snarled, pulling out my Arashi.

"Always, making friends with humans?" Nicole, asking seeing Piper.

"You leave her and my friends out of this!" I growled as my eyes glowed emerald.

Suddenly, a huge shockwave sends us flying the wall. I teleported behind Piper so that she wouldn't get hurt too much. I'm not fully Human, but she is. The force of the shockwave made me hit my head and knock out Piper, Ignis, and Veemon.

"You two okay?" I asked them.

"Yeah." Piper and Veemon groaned.

"Veemon, Ignis, take Piper and hide." I growled, "NOW…"

Thankfully, Veemon and Ignis got the message and took Piper to a safe place.

"Now that they'll out of fighting range…" I trailed off, as gold and black energy surrounds me, "I can finally let lose."

Camellia: Ready Ayame?

Ayame: Oh yeah! Let's get her!

Soon I let Ayame take over, while I retreat to my Soul Room.

Piper's POV

"Hey, Crystal-Girl stay there." Camellia said in a dual voice and saw that her eyes were now gold.

"Cam?" I asked, hopefully.

"Nope, that's Ayame." Ignis explained, "Camellia's incarnation."

"You mean a past life?" I questioned, also shocked that Ignis can talk.

"Yep!" Veemon nodded, "But don't worry, Ayame's on our side. That's how Cam can control light and darkness."

"Yes, but we both would be grateful, if you don't tell the others about me." Ayame requested, "Cam wants to tell them on her own terms."

"Alright." I agreed before Ayame smiled.

"Now let's get this started." Ayame smirked, disappearing suddenly and appears behind Nicole.

Just as Ayame was about to attack Nicole, she disappeared like Ayame did before.

"Too slow." Nicole smirked, sending another shockwave to Ayame on her back.

The shockwave made her skid across the floor.

Ayame's POV

I have to admit, Nicole's gotten better at her powers. My body was aching, and I could feel Camellia in pain also. I ignore the ringing in my ears and went to attack Nicole.

"This again." Nicole taunted, holding her hand out.

Soon she sent out a more powerful shockwave, sending me flying to the bookcase filling scrolls. This time, the shockwave somehow made my body paralyze.

"Pretty neat huh?" Nicole commented, "I learned it from a common enemy that's after you. But let's worry about that later."

Nicole turns around, smirking at Piper, Ignis, and Veemon. Then threw down a smoke bomb.

"Get her and leave the others." Nicole command as my vision begins to go blurry.

Soon, I lost conscious and everything around me went black. I soon went back to the Soul Room.

Piper's POV

Once Nicole threw down the smoke bomb, I knew that they were going to take her. I pulled out my staff and went towards the smoke. But once the smoke clear, they were gone, along with Camellia.

Without any warning a blue portal opens and out came a huge group of people. Most of them had animal features like Camellia.

"Are you Piper?" a boy with brown hair and matching eyes asked.

"Yes, who are you?" I asked, warily.

"My name is Haruto, but you know me as Kage." Haruto introduced, "They're mine and Cam's friends. They came to help."

That's when he noticed something was wrong.

"Where's Cam?" Haruto asked with growl.

"They took her." I answered, "She tried to protect us, and I tried to stop them, but I couldn't."

"Cam told us to protect Piper." Veemon explained, "I'm sorry."

"It isn't your fault, Veemon, Ignis." A purple dragon said.

"And we're going to get her back." Haruto said as he turns around, "Everyone ready?! We're going to help the Sky Knights and defeat Nicole! And bring an end to this war! And save Tsuki!"

Just from Haruto's words, everyone let out a shout of encouragement.

How did Camellia touch the hearts of so many people?

"Where are you supposed to meet your friends?" Haruto asked me.

"Near the border of Cyclonia." I replied.

"Alright, everyone get ready!" Haruto command, "Summon your Familiars or Keyblade Gliders. Those who are DigiDestined have your Digimon Digivolve to Ultimate, Armor, Mega or DNA!"

Almost immediately, everyone was getting prepare for battle. Some summon Familiars, other summon some sort of gliders, and others had Digimon Digivolve.

"You ready?" Haruto asked me.

I nodded as my replied.

"Alight we'll slip into teams of three." Haruto informs, "Team #1 will me, Tai, Matt, Cody, TK, Kairi, King Mickey, Terra, Tala, Ian, and Vixen. I'll lead Team #1 and Tala will be my 2nd in-command."

"You ready to kick ass, Matt?" a brown-bushy hair asked a blonde.

"You beat!" the blonde replied, fisting bumping the brunette.

"Team #2 will be Sora, Izzy, Kari, Yolei, Xion, Donald, Aqua, Lea, Spencer, Suzuka, and Ray." Haruto continued, "Team #2's leaders will be Xion and Spencer. Lastly, Team #3 will be Joe, Ken, Sora, Vanitas, Riku, Goofy, Ventus, Kai, Bryan, and Suzume. Their leaders are Vanitas and Suzume."

Soon everyone got into their respective teams.

"Piper can you help us lead to the meeting point?" Haruto asked.

"Yes." I nodded going to my Skimmer.

Haruto's POV

As soon as Piper left, I turn to Veemon and.

"Does she know?" I asked Veemon and Ignis, knowing what I'm asking.

"Yep, but she promised to keep Ayame a secret." Ignis answered, "Plus, Cam found her mate."

"She did?" I asked shocked, especially when she got her heart broken from Zeke.

"Yep and they're going on date once this is over." Veemon smirked, "Aerrow's very supportive about her past and accepts her for who she is."

"Well, first he need mine and everyone else's approval." I chuckled, "But let's focus on the fight, for now."

"Right!" Veemon and Ignis nodded with grin.

Soon we all walked out of the cave, ready to fight and save our friend.
