Hello! Sorry for the long wait guys. I was err.... sick. Nah, that's my lie- I was just dozing around.

Thanks to everyone who made an OC for me. They are:

HERO SLAYER
TACOMON


In this chapter (and possibly a few others) I use HERO SLAYER's character Tsubasa Hibiki. Just a small note- I've made him into a military commander, and he originally wasn't. Otherwise, nothing's changed. 's creation will apear in the next chapter. Sadly, I can't seem to fit TACOMON's characterinto the overall plot so I'm sorry 'bout that.

The helicopters blazed across the grey dull sky of Texas, America. Sgt. Adams looked out of the window and frowned.

Even when he was little, he didn't believe in monsters. He wasn't the kind to check underneath his bed every bed-time to look for monsters under it. He wasn't scared of the dark or spiders either. In fact, he was pretty much unaffected by many things that scared normal people. Even the odd zombie film couldn't scare him out of his wits.

But 40 years later, he was peeing his pants in fear.

Perhaps it was the urgency of the situation. Perhaps it was because the casualties began to rise slowly. Maybe it was because of the monsters rampaging through the cities devouring and ripping everything apart. Perhaps it was the fact that their weapons were almost useless against them.

No. Sgt. Adams thought. It isn't that.

It was probably because of his commander. He wouldn't be terrified if it was a big, muscular middle-aged man with a face of granite. He had met a fare share of men like that and worked for them. But no. Hell no. His commander wasn't big, middle-aged and he didn't have a face of granite.

He was a teenager.

He was averaged size, about the same size and age as the Sergeant's daughter. His messy black hair looked rather deliberate- or maybe it wasn't; as Sgt. Adams couldn't tell anything about him from his face. It was blank. A blank piece of A4 paper could have been less blanker than this boy's poker face. His brown eyes gazed into nothingness. On his T-shirt, there was a small golden label saying Tsubasa Hibari COMMANDE. The 'R' from 'Commander' had been rubbed off.

Japanese, eh. Sgt. Adams thought. He had been there once. A mission about some kind of giant blob that attacked the city. When he got there though, it had disappeared. 'Defeated' His old commander had told him. 'Tsubasa' meant 'wings'. Sgt. Adams quietly thought why his mother had named him that since he looked more like a heavy rock than the light wings of a bird.

But the most surprising thing of all was that sat next to him was a bipedal, talking lizard holding a chunky gun and wearing military amour for battle. His eyes looked like a small 5-year olds but his always alert hands that gripped the gun was that of an experienced soldier. Or maybe he was just nervous because everyone in the helicopter was staring at him…

"We're here." Commander Hibari said, making Sgt. Adams yank his gaze off the lizard. It was monotone voice that told noting about himself. The whole platoon of soldiers in the helicopter clicked their guns in unison. "Open the door." The commander told the driver. There was a metallic buzzing sound and the door of the helicopters slid open in mid air. Wing gushed inside and almost knocked the Sergeant of his feet.

One by one, the soldiers jumped out and yanked at the parachute until only the commander and the sergeant were left alone together. Adams put his hand before him, signaling the commander to go first. Hibari nodded gratefully and before Adams could stop him, he jumped outside without putting on a parachute sack at all. The lizard followed in his footsteps. Gasping, Adams jumped out to try and catch him.

The immense wind against Adam's face was overwhelming, but he ignored it and pressed on. He lunged passed a cloud and it exploded into tiny droplets of water.

"COMANDER!" He shouted at the top of his voice as he yanked at the parachute line.

"Yes?" A calm voice asked next to him. It was Hibari and he was levitating! Or so Adams thought until the cloud underneath his commander burst and there was a bigger lizard with giant claws and many weapons (especially a giant bayonet). Out of the lizards' backpack was a roaring fire- it was a jet pack that was keeping Hibari and the lizard in the air.

Sgt. Adams was speechless.

Hibari signed. Probably. It was hard to tell with wind gushing in the sergeant's ears.

"I'll explain later." Tsubasa said with a hint of shyness in his voice.

As he gracefully disappeared into the clouds, Sgt. Adams felt like he finally knew why the commander's mother had called Commander Tsubasa 'Wings'.

The campfire crackled quietly in the subconscious. Tommy Himi and Takuya Kanbara lied down on the wet night grass beside each other and looked up into the midnight sky. Sadly there were no stars in sight, so it was slightly boring- but neither of the 2 boys said anything.

This camp was ment to be a reunion for the digi-destened- it was exactly 1 year after they came back home to the human world from over there. But unfortunately many couldn't come. Zoë had moved away and lived far away so she couldn't exactly come. J.P was currently in America on holiday and Koichi and Koji declined the offer. God knows what they were doing.

Tommy sighed. So did Takuya. It was ment to be a great party. But no-one was there.

"So," Tommy asked, attempting to start a conversation. "What have you been up to?"

"Not much." Takuya said plainly. It seems he wasn't in the best mood in the world. Tommy's attempt to start a conversation had failed miserably.

Takuya looked into the dark clouds. For a fraction of a second, a green eerie light shone suddenly. Takuya jumped up. Tommy looked at him.

"What's up?" he asked.

"I though I just…" Takuya pondered. "…Doesn't matter. Probably just a plane or something."

But it did matter though. As the 2 boys lied down and drifted to sleep, they probably didn't know the doom that was yet to come.

"So, I better get going." Marcus said, wiping tomato sauce off the sides of his mouth. "Thanks for the dinner." Kari smiled. Agumon smiled. Tai didn't. He obviously wasn't too keen on his little sister bringing random men off the street and into their house.

As Marcus went to the door and put his hand on the door, Tai blurted out:

"What else did Gennai say?" He asked. "About this girl you have to find."

"He told me it was an innocent girl." He scratched his neck, pondering. "A girl of light." The Kamiya family froze.

"What did he say Gennai needed her for?" Tai asked.

"I remember him saying one word." Marcus said. "...Se dévouer... "

Tai got a shiver up his spine.

"That's the French word for sacrifice, isn't it?" Tai whispered. He had heard it before in one of those American detective films. It was a deadly whisper. Kari looked pale and so did Agumon. Marcus didn't have a clue what they were on about.

Kari gulped.

"Sacrifice…."

Ooh. Creepy. But remember; Nothing is as it seems...

*Ahem*. Sorry. Remember, I'm still looking for OCs, so keep posting them!

NOTE- The french at the end may be wrong. And er... I did get it from 'one of those American detective films' like Tai.

Til' next time! BYE!
