Chapter 11 – Misunderstanding

げつ ふま

Ryo's POV

Ryo and Cyberdramon flew over a vast plain with a maze of canyons mixed in.

"With all of these canyons, it would be pretty hard to find Kazu and Kenta," he said to Cyberdramon.

Cyberdramon just grunted in agreement.

Suddenly they saw a small flash of blue shortly followed by the sound of an explosion.

"What the hell was that?!" Ryo shouted, looking to the location of the sound. A large portion of the canyon was falling down inside of itself.

They flew off towards the crash site, but before they got there, another explosion happened a few hundreds yards away from the first area.

"Cyberdramon, go higher so I can get a better view," Ryo said, standing up.

As Cyberdramon ascended, Ryo caught sight of a small Digimon on top of the canyon. It shot another blue line at the wall of the other side, causing it to collapse.

"Well, we found who did this," he said. "Let's go."

Getting closer, they could see two more figures running for their lives in the valley of the canyon.

"That's Kazu and Kenta!" Ryo yelled, pointing in their direction.

As he said this, one of them got backed up against the cave in, with the Digimon above him.

"You will pay for what you did to my Tamer!" it yelled, preparing to shoot at Kazu.

"Stop him, Cyberdramon!" Ryo called.

"Desolation Claw!" Cyberdramon sliced at the air, launching the attack at the rocks beneath the little Digimon's feet.

The attack hit right on time, as the Digimon shot at Kazu, but the collapse of the rocks made his attack go skyward, dissipating into the air.

Ryo and Cyberdramon flew downward, landing between Kazu and the assailant.

"What are you doing to my friend?" he asked, jumping off.

"You are friends with my Tamers attacker?" it asked Ryo. "Then you shall die also."

"What are you talking about?" Ryo asked, confused.

"You know what I am talking about," the Digimon replied, preparing to attack again. "That kid behind you attacked my Tamer and separated us."

"I didn't do anything!" Kazu yelled over Ryo. "I'm just trying to find Gaurdromon!"

"Gaurdromon? Your Digimon is a Kudamon," the Digimon said.

"Kudamon? Isn't that that ferret Digimon?" Kenta asked, peeping over a rock. "Those are supposed to be pretty weak, only Rookie level."

"It doesn't matter," the Digimon said. "You attacked my partner, now you die."

"Hold it!" a voice called out from somewhere above.

"That voice!" the Digimon whispered, looking up.

On top of the canyon wall was a figure with a small Digimon on his shoulder.

"Aren't you looking for me?" asked the new arrival.

"You!"

"Who is that?" Ryo asked.

"I am sorry for attacking you earlier," the Digimon said to Kazu. "If Seth would come closer, you can see why I mistook you for him."

"Seth?" Ryo asked.

"His name."

At this, Seth jumped down from the ledge.

Kudamon digivolve to… Reppamon!

Seth leapt onto Reppamon and landed gracefully on the ground near Kazu.

"Hey, Kazu," Kenta said. "Do you have a twin brother?"

Seth looked almost exactly like Kazu, from his spiky brown hair to the same brand of shoes. The only visible difference was the eye color; Kazu's blue eyes to Seth's green eyes; and the fact that Kazu had a visor on his head.

"What have you done with Sarah?!" the Digimon yelled at Seth.

"By this time, she should be nearing her death," Seth replied calmly. "And you shall be meeting the same fate soon. Reppamon, prepare for battle."
