Chapter 15 – An Odd LadyDevimon
げつふま
Suzy's POV
Suzy woke up in a pink room covered in flowers.
"Ooh, pretty!" she shrieked happily. She immediately got up and ran around, sniffing the different kinds of flowers and even picking a few.
After a few minutes of watching her, a figure stepped out of the shadows of one of the corners, chuckling. "Having fun?" she asked.
"Yea! I love the pretty flowers!" Suzy said.
"Good, because this will be your last opportunity for a few years at least," the figure said. "You have been blessed with the ability to control Digimon. With it, you shall protect the Digital World from its greatest threat ever. Humans."
Suzy just looked at the figure with a blank stare. "I can't play?" she sobbed.
"No," the figure said sharply.
At that, Suzy burst into tears and cried loud enough for a group of two travelers to hear from outside of the hidden room in the tree.
"Suzy!" Henry called out, rushing to the sound of her crying.
He and Jeri stopped at the base of a large tree, the sound coming from inside of it. Hitting the tree in every place he could see, Henry eventually saw a small knot in the wood. He hit it, pushing it in and opening a door in the trunk.
Once inside, he saw Suzy and a tall figure standing before her.
"LadyDevimon, a Fallen Angel Virus Type! Ultimate Level! Suzy, get back!"
"Oh, come now, Henry," LadyDevimon said. "Just because LadyDevimon are considered evil doesn't make me evil, does it?"
"How do you know my name?" Henry asked.
"I know every single one of the Tamers," she told him. "But that's not important right now. Right now you need to calm your sister down so I can talk to her about the Prophecy."
"Prophecy?" Jeri asked.
"Oh, I forgot you were there, Jeri," LadyDevimon said. "Sorry. Anyway, I'm sure that Angemon told you about it, Henry."
"The threat to the Digital World," Henry muttered.
"I see that he has. Well, I need to tell your sister about it," she said.
"Why is she crying in the first place?" Henry asked coldly.
"I told her that if she is to protect the Digi-World, she is no longer allowed to play until the Prophecy is completed," LadyDevimon replied.
"Bad idea," Jeri said. "She likes to play as much as Guilmon loves to eat."
"Yes, I remember Guilmon. Possibly the most oblivious Digimon I have ever seen," LadyDevimon said.
"So have you been watching us?" Henry asked.
"Not quite," she said. "I have simply been watching the ones that have bio-emerged into your world."
"So you're like Hypnos?" Jeri asked.
"In a way," LadyDevimon said as she walked off. "Since I cannot get Suzy to be quiet, I shall leave this in your hands, Henry and Jeri."
"Well, that was weird," Henry said, kneeling down next to Suzy. "Are you ok?"
Suzy just nodded.
"Don't listen to LadyDevimon, Suzy," Jeri said. "You can still play whenever you want."
When Jeri said this, Suzy instantly cheered up and stopped crying.
"Well, we really need to find the others now," Henry said, picking up Suzy.
"Right," Jeri said.
While they walked off, another figure was watching the whole thing.
"They have no idea that playing is a waste of time," it said, shaking its head.
As he jumped through the trees, he passed over the humans, dropping three small cards on the ground in front of them.
"Those should give them more than enough power in the coming fights," it said as it picked up speed.
