Digimon Keepers Ep 17 "A Not So Excellent Adventure"
A boy crouch in a blank colorless landscape, he was laughing, holding a black digivice, now standing behind him was another boy who almost looked like him but dressed in a black out with a cape, and wore yellow glasses "You truly think you have lost your darkness you are a fool I am your Mirror, I am the Dark reflection of the past you will never escape, For now we see through a glass, darkly" he joined the boy laughing.
Ken woke up shivering, it was only a dream he thought to himself looking around at the room he was in, and know he wasn't in the dark ocean like he dreamed he was. "For now we see through a glass, darkly" the Digimon Emperor's voice echoed in his mind, he got up, and got dressed, he slammed his fist into the door "I am no longer that way" he yelled "Go away"
Ken headed out the door of his room, and was greeted by Reika Otori, who was on loan from Hypnos to help him fix security like he couldn't do it by himself, he thought of her as a glorified babysitter, he sighed and greeted her back, and headed off to the security room.
-Digital world Alpha Zone -
Seira, Bise, and Davis appeared into Digital world via Digitizer, they were on a mission to find Alexandria, Kari, and Henry, and if possible find information on the location of kidnapped Izzy Izumi, which was as high of a priority as the others, if they found out where he was located they were to report back.
Bise took two steps forward, and sat on a Rock, he started to file his nails, it was like he was on some sort of vacation instead of a mission, his Greymon stepped out of the foliage, and lies down beside him, and yawning.
"Not this shit again, why did they send you with us you are useless?"said an angry Seira, she glared at Bise, who was completely ignoring her with his hands behind his head.
Kae suddenly appeared out of no, with her Digimon partner, both seemed to not be able to stand still for a second, and nearly ran passed them completely, if it wasn't for Seira grabbing hold of Kae she would have left without telling them why she was here.
"Why the hell are you here?" said Seira demanding, as she glared at Kae, tightening her grip on the little girl's shoulder, having her here was going to be annoying, and would drive her insane this had to be the worse time she had ever been a part of "Go back now you are not a part of this mission we already have an annoying goggle head"
"Hey" Davis shouted, since he was just been called annoying by Seira, he glared at her
"Seira, I think you should go back at least Kae doesn't have the attitude of a jerk like you do " said Rika finally speaking up" she walked up to Seira, giving her an angry look that if something was written on her the wind it would be shut up and let's get this over with,
The mission kind of started off badly with most of team at each other's throats, Kae sighed thinking to herself "is every mission like this?"
"No only ones with Seira, I prefer Davis over putting up with this crap from the one that nearly kills her digimon partner and doesn't even care that she did" said Rika, staring off as Seira walked off, muttering to Tenshimon, who was scratching the back of her head in response.
"I feel sorry Tenshimon, her partner might be a genius but she doesn't act so smart" said Kae shaking her head.
-The Cell-
Alexandria opened her eyes, she was hoping this was some sort of bad dream, but it wasn't and they were still back in the cell, this somewhat reminded her of her first major adventure, and last time in the digital world as a kid, those castles that she faced them in still haunted her memories as much what happened when she got home, She looked down at her hands they were shaking, she doesn't blame the digital world for how her life turned, she blames for being in the digital world, but what could she have done differently.
-flash back-
Alexandria meet up with MetalKoromon in a clearing, she walked up beside him, he wasn't speaking, he seemed ok, she looked in the direction he was looking in, there was a castle, that wasn't here the last time she came, it was dark and foreboding feeling to it, and somewhat mechanical it was covered in black gears, this made her spine shiver it was the nastiest thing she had ever seen in her life, she squinted and there to be three more of them, including one that was way bigger, she knew it was bigger because it still towered over the ones closer even with its distance.
"It came over night, it enslaves us, I am afraid" said MetalKoromon now shivering and his red eyes flashed like crazy, he was clearly panicking.
"What is doing, I am here to help you should not be afraid he will take this on together I am a Digidestined and you are my partner" she said picking him up looking Metalkoromon right in the eyes "We will get stronger as a team"
This seemed to calm MetalKoromon, he was now reassured, his confidence still needed some work even with the victory they had last time in battle this was something beyond that, it was making her doubt herself as well but she wouldn't let her partner see that because it would take his courage, Dreams are fragile and they need courage to accomplish them, she was now living her dream, and would do anything to prevent it from falling apart.
She ran toward the first castle, it seemed to get darker the closer she got to it. She never liked the dark especially what could be hiding in that darkness, she heard the sound of grinding gears, these looked like the one that had came out of the digimon she had defeated, the last time she came to the digital world.
-Present-
Alexandria eyes opened again, she knew what she had to do before they could delete her digimon partner, she needed find where they were keeping him that was the problem at hand she could escape but she wasn't going anywhere without MetalKoromon with her, she thought about I, she was conflicted she didn't want to lose her partner but running would be against all the principals of a soldier, and she didn't know what to do about this, she grasped her knees as she was now hugging her legs.
Kari saw the look in Alexandria eyes, and knew the storm that was brewing behind them, and the conflict of the heart and mind that was causing it, she once felt almost the same way about probably not the same conflicted that was tormenting Alexandria now as what she had to go through.
Alexandria finally spoke "Kari" she called out "would you betray all your principals to save your partner if it went against everything that you have been taught, and grown up to know is right and wrong?"
"Too save Gatomon I would walk through fire, I would question and be haunted about if I did the right thing but looking into my partners eyes all my doubt would simply fade away, you are thinking they are going to find your partner guilty, and you are thinking about running, I am thinking the same I think they have no right to do this and we should leave" said Kari looking at Alexandria, with enough intensity to melt a brick. "We will escape"
-Flash back-
They reached the first castle, it was surrounded by some weird animal Digimon, she looked at Metalkoromon waiting for him to explain what those were, and from the looks of them they were infected with the same black gears that they encountered before.
There was brief pause before MetalKoromon started to talk "Those are Bearmon, I have noticed the black gears too, there are too many of them to fight alone even if I Digivolve again"
"We have to figure out something we can't leave them under the control of those gears, they are innocent digimon it's not fair" said Alexandria looking like she was trying to think.
"Soon before they spot us" said Metalkoromon seeing one of the Bearmon getting closer to their location it glowing red eyes visible in the distance.
Alexandria picked up her partner and slid into a nearby trench, and watched it walk by them, she sighed about how close that had been, this adventure was getting more serious, she didn't know if she could deal with this anymore, she would have to save the digimon at each of these castles and probably wouldn't survive the first, more doubts piled up in her mind threatening to drowned her thoughts.
"Snap out of it you are a Digidestined; if you doubt what you are doing you will never succeed in saving the digital world I believe in you Alexandria, and I know you will save us all from the Gears, and the ones behind them" said Metalkoromon turning to face it's master.
-Present Day-
They waited beside the door getting ready to attack anything that came in the room, and then make a run for it, Henry was on the right side of the door and Alexandria was on the left with Kari standing in front of the door, she looked dizzy and fell down.
"there is something wrong with Kari come we need some help" Henry called out
There was a whole lot of noise it was hard to make out what was going on, when the door sudden ripped of it hinges, and flung out into the hallway, and standing there with unconscious guard behind him was Andromon, he ran over in somewhat of a panic looking down at Kari "Are you Ok I was passing by when I heard that there was something wrong" he said.
"There is nothing wrong you just helped us escape" Kari chuckled getting up off the floor "we better hurry and get to our partners before they notice something happened"
"The other cell is this way" said Andromon exiting the cell happy to assist The Digidestined in their plan to escape "We better be quick they are going to delete him with some strange device in the morning"
Kari stopped at the sound of the word device. And turned to face Andromon "What kind of device" she said with suspicion like the last piece of the puzzle was just about to be set in place.
"They called it Juggernaut, and a strange digimon that I have never seen before delivered it on the day came to testify she was beyond beautiful there are no words to describe her, she came as a swarm of butterflies" Andromon answered.
"Ushasmon was here, I knew something was wrong the moment we were brought into court room too bad we didn't know she was here till now we could have found out where Izzy" said Kari clinching her fist, and tapping hard on the wall in frustration. "Let's hurry and find our partner digimon so we can deal with juggernaut so it can't be used again in the digital, they aren't just going to delete Metalkoromon, they are going delete this entire zone like they did before"
Henry watched Alexandria and Kari, so far it has done nothing, he was so worried about his own to even think but they managed to come to decision without him, he felt useless to the team, he had to do something to help he just didn't know how, Momentai he thought to himself, he will rescue his and help his team escape, and stop what-ever Ushasmon is doing here the juggernaut program must not destroy another Digital realm like it did to the one he went to when he first came over to the digital world
No one seemed to noticed them missing by the time they reached the other cell, two guard digimon were standing in front of this cell as well, by their luck they were sleeping at their post, Henry suddenly while the others were still watching, had walked up to them .
"Your partner digimon are in there" said Andromon pointing in the direction of the cell.
"We need a distraction" said Kari looking at the digimon guards.
Alexandria ran her hand through her Shoulder length purple hair, she had the expression of someone that was in deep thought.
"I have an idea" Henry said suddenly breaking the silence, he turned to face Kari and Alexandria, only Kari was there, he looked around.
Alexandria had slipped past Kari and Alexandria, and made her way toward the sleeping Guards, and took them both smacking their heads together, she took the keys, and opened the cell, she entered it followed by Kari and a sighing Henry.
"Momentai, Henry" said Terriermon looking at the expression on Henry's face, and then climbed up on, and unto Henry's shoulder.
"Kari!" said Gatomon running toward Kari happy to see her partner "What took you so long I felt like I lost some of my nine lives in here"
Alexandria walked over to her partner Metalkoromon, they stared at each other silently, before she walked over and picked him up "Time to go" she said.
-Real World-
Ken was studying Izzy laptop computer, it was a part of his security checks since it was part of the system, when an email icon appeared at the bottom of the screen. He clicked on it, it opened to a countdown clock, his eyes widened knowing what this meant, another digital zone was going to be formatted by Juggernaut, and he ran off to tell the others.
-To be Continued-
Whoa another digital zone is going to be formatted by Juggernaut, or will they be able to stop it in time, please tone into the Digimon Digital Keepers to find out!
