Chapter Thirty Two: Train Work

Velgemon flew off.

"Koji" shouted Takuya as we ran faster seeing our friend was alright.

"How'd you find me?" asked Koji.

"Well we saw that big explosion and we thought you were in it. We are glad you're safe." said Tommy.

"Well I was in it." Koji admitted.

"What? Are you alright?" I asked concerned.

"Yea I'm fine." He said.

"So what caused it?" asked Zoe.

"Velgemon, using the power of Cherubimon Duskmon digivolved to Velgemon." Informed Koji.

"Velgemon. Not many can survive his attacks." Said Bokomon. "I'm flabbergasted."

"Bless you" said Neemon.

"Hi" chimed Patamon jumping in to Koji's hand.

"Hi, who are you?" he questioned.

"He's Patamon." Takuya answered.

"He was born from Seraphimon's Digiegg." Zoe said.

"He's the reason how you got Beowulfmon." I stated.

"O…Sakura there blood on your neck." He stated worried.

I touched my neck to feel dry blood and remember when Persiamon pushed her claw down on my throat. "Don't worry it's just a little injury, a mark left from someone." I said looking away.

Koji remain silent for a while then handed Patamon to Zoe and ran off.

"Koji?" I shouted as he ran away.

"Man when will he learned that he doesn't have to solve his problems alone?" questioned Takuya. "I'll go get him." Takuya stated.

"What? No, I'm faster, Ill go" I stated.

"Look I'll go get him and be right back you guys wait here." said Takuya.

"No, well lose another member" stated J.P. "It's just like the horror movie." He continued.

I sighed at his remark.

"Do you see me laughing?" asked Takuya.

"I'm being serious" said J.P. "The boogey man will get you when you're out on your own." Said J.P.

"Well I'll just have to take my chances with the…..bogey man" said Takuya as he ran off.

"Well there nothing we can do now." Zoe said.

"Then let's make dinner" I stated.

"You guys are really just going to stay here and do nothing just because he told you to?" J.P questioned.

"Well, if we do we won't be doing much either." I stated.

"If he tells you to shave your hair off and run around. Will you do it?" questioned J.P.

"Well if he doesn't have a legitimate reason then no" I said, bluntly.

"We have these." Said J.P "If there is trouble, we'll just spirit evolve."

"But if we leave then they won't know where we are." Zoe pointed out.

"I didn't say we going to the rose morning star ourselves or anything like it." Said J.P

You sorta did.

"We are just going to scout around." Said J.P.

"Why?" I asked.

"So when we get to the Rose Morning Star we'll know what to expect." Said J.P. There was silence. "You see I think we are all here for a reason, I think there a reason for us being here or on any other planet, but I could never find out the reason why I'm here." Said J.P.

"He does have a point." Said Patamon.

"So I thought this might be the reason." He said.

Soon enough he pursued all of us, not including Bokomon, Neemon and Patamon, to go on the scouting hunt. We walked around finding nothing but a train tracks. We follow the track to what seems to be a junkyard.

"This place gives me the creeps." Tommy said shivering.

"I agree" I said quietly.

We walked around looking for digimons or anything that can talk. We heard something creak and Zoe, Tommy scrambled to the floor.

I jumped back. "Was that just me or did you hear something?" I asked.

"I definitely heard something" Zoe said.

"Aw, come on, its just your imagination, here I'll show you that there is nothing here but junk." J.P said and walked towards the machine and knocked at it. It started to talk and whine about how he was about to fall asleep and how we interrupt without saying sorry we all jumped back at the voice. Tommy tried to run away, but Zoe pulled him back by clutching on to the suspenders.

"Wait a minute" I said.

"What?" Zoe and Tommy asked.

"It's just a Trailmon not a ghost" I said shivering at the word ghost.

"Hey I'm not just a Trailmon, and I'm not a ghost. I am Angler." The Trailmon said.

"Really that wouldn't be the first word I'll pick" J.P stated.

"Creatures today all so rude, if I had the strength I'll teach you a lesson" Trailmon taunt. "But alas, I'm fragile and weak, and I'm alone in this Trailmon graveyard." Trailmon stated.

"G-graveyard?" Tommy, Zoe and I asked shuddering back. Trailmon told us the story about the Trailmon graveyard.

"Aww poor you." I stated.

"Is there anything we can do?" Zoe asked as she, Tommy and I went towards the poor train.

"Well if you wanted to do something in the first place then don't wake me up." Trailmon complained.

J.P went up and was about to ask about the Rose Morning Star but Zoe said no, but J.P argued back, Trailmon told him just to ask. Trailmon said he knows about the Rose Morning Star and will tell us about it for one thing, to help him stand up.

"How are we suppose to help you stand up, you're way bigger than us." Said Zoe.

"I'll take this" said J.P and spirit evolved to Beetlemon and help him over. Trailmon said if we do another favor it might jog his memory about the Rose Morning Star. So we help him take a bath. Afterwards, he still wouldn't tell us so we decided to leave until he said his speech about how everyone treat him like a train when in truth he is too a living creature who just wants to be treated equally. We felt guilty and started to do what he wanted before he pass away; massage, clean, feed, etc.

Tommy was washing his light on his head when the train started to laugh causing the bucket to fall and dump water on the train. "This I could do without" he said as we started to laugh. We all slept on the train's back.

"So I guess this is goodbye" said J.P.

"O and about the Rose Morning Star" Angler said.

"Ah don't worry about it." Zoe assured.

"It's alright that you pretend to know about the Rose Morning Star so you can have some friends." I stated.

"No I really been to the Rose Morning Star" said Angler.

"Huh really?" I asked.

"Yea, why would I lie about that?" Angler said.

"Hurry up and spill the beans already." J.P cried impatiently.

"Yea tell us" Zoe agreed. Angler started to talk when something red glowed in him. He started to cough out smoke.

"Don't pretend to be sick again" J.P whined. "

I don't think he's pretending" I said as the glass at the eye shattered.

"ANGLER!" we shouted as we hugged and try to make him stay and not pass on.

"I think my time is up" Angler said as he glowed more red. Tommy cried and so did Zoe and I.

"Why does friends go away right when we become friends it just not fair." Whined Tommy.

"Angler" I shouted as he glow faded and I thought he died."I can't believe that" I said deadpan.

"All that," said J.P.

"And he's still alive" continued Zoe.

We grew angry at the now young and new Trailmon. The same train we spend hours cleaning and taking care of.

"That is it" I said hate being used. "Ex-sa-cute Beast Spirit Evolution" we said as we beast spirit evolved.

Angler tired to escape only to be block by Korikakumon.

"I'm sorry about all that" said Angler who was now carrying us.

"Don't worry about it just don't lie next time" Zoe said.

"So what do you know about the Rose Morning Star?" I asked.

"While when I was young but as my old self, I was being forced to take some package to the Rose Morning Star. I was forced by Cherubimon, well Cherubimon's henchman. I was afraid of what they might do, well not the cute one, so I didn't ask. It was right after the three celestial digimon fought so I thought it would either be Seraphimon or Ophanimon." Angler explained.

"Well we have Seraphimon's digiegg, so it's most likely to be Ophanimon" I concluded.

"Well we're off" said J.P
