Hey guys, it's me Lunamon810! Just here with the annoucement of... *Matt's drummer drum-rolls* the Digimon: The Crest of Trust Facebook page! No, I can't link it 'cause forbids of it. But there can't be that many pages by that name. It has a black picture with 'Digimon: The Crest of Trust' in gold letters and Amber down on the left (not exactly what she's meant to look like) and Matt on the right (season 1). So yeah...
Amber: Lets just get on with it!
Matt: Yeah, they've waited long enough.
Me: Okay, okay! Kay guys, lets get on with the show!
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or any charecters related to it. I do own Amber. I don't own any body besides Amber as of right now.
Special Thanks To: Latina Shewolf for the recap-thing below!
Everyone finally laid down to rest when a familiar friend came into Amber's dream with a warning, that someone was coming and they had to leave, fast! Shadow Boy managed to telepathically instruct Amber where to run, unfortunately what resembled a train with a monkey face rushed in front of them. Yikes! Would you believe that it turned out to be no one else other then Etemon. He made a grab for Amber, luckily I digivolved into Lekismon at the nick of time. Phew! Better yet Relemon digivolved as well and yet Gabumon-X found themselves in the group. I managed to free Amber from Etemon, and that monkey ended up running off. Tazzie was introduced into the group, and Shadow Boy managed to telepathically tell Amber that they are trying to capture her. Now the million dollar question is why to they want my human-partner, Amber?
Amber rolled around in her sleep. Shadow Boy wasn't there, which kind of worried her. She kept muttering 'Shadow Boy' in her sleep. Matt stared at her instead of the fire for a second. He couldn't figure out who 'Shadow Boy' was. She'd been doing this off and on since they adopted her. He stared upwards now. He thought about their 'fight' with Etemon earlier. Their new recruits Tazzie and Gabumon X. Were there a lot of new digi-destine?
"I wonder…are we supposed to be here at all?" Matt wondered. "Was Amber the only one meant to come? Was she part of a new group of digi-destine?"
"What's wrong Matt?" Gabumon asked.
Matt looked at his worried partner. He smiled at him. Gabumon always seemed to know when something was wrong. Matt gave a reassuring smile, "Nothing." Then Amber jerked up gasping. Matt jumped up and went to her sleeping bag.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"N-Nightmare." Amber said. "Armukenymon, Mummymon, Etemon, and Myotismon were all there. They were…killing us. And…"
"And what?" Matt asked.
"I-I think that's it." Amber said.
Amber was going to admit about Shadow Boy. But what if he was just a figment of her imagination? But, then how could he have known Etemon was coming? Was it a trick from the evil digimon? Was it something because of the digital world? Or was Shadow Boy a real person? She knew he'd looked familure. She'd seen him somewhere besides her dreams when he had all of his color.
"Are you sure?" Matt asked.
"Uh-huh." Amber said laying back.
"Well, it was just a nightmare. Just try to go back to sleep." Matt said.
For the next hour, Matt fought thoughts about something being wrong with Amber. Something scaring Amber. Thoughts about her ending up dead, like T.K. And he fought sleep. Eventually he woke Izzy up and Izzy took watch while Matt slept next to Amber. Amber woke up as the first light of the morning cascaded across the sky. She sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Hey Amber." Izzy said. "Something wrong?"
"Nah." Amber said.
She laid back and half curled up next to her brother. Her head rested on his shoulder. She fell back asleep.
"Hello?" Amber called before she could stop herself.
"Amber?" Shadow boy asked.
Amber turned. "Hey."
"Why are you having trouble sleeping?" He asked.
Amber thought for a second. "I can't figure out who you are. Or how you know me. Or how you knew Etemon was on his way."
"I was able to sense it." He said, and it was obvious that was the only answer he planned on giving.
Amber woke up again. Now the sun was rising. She wasn't too tired, so she stood up and walked over to Izzy. She sat down 'Indian style'. She propped her elbows on her knees and put her head in her hands. She stared into the fire.
"Something wrong Amber?" Izzy asked.
"No." She said. "Just can't sleep."
"Oh, okay." Izzy said.
Amber sat in front of the fire, hugging her knees. She focused on the warmth. It as freezing. She considered returning to the sleeping bag. She knew it was a lot warmer. She finally broke down and returned to the sleeping bag.
When Amber woke up from a dreamless sleep her mouth was taped shut and she as tied up. She 'ump'ed for help, but to no avail. Izzy had fell asleep. Amber tugged at he bonds and thrashed around wildly, along with Lunamon, Clary, Viximon, Tazzie, and Gabumon X. They were thrown in a cage and passed out.
When Amber once again woke up she found herself in a cylinder shaped room. She was still tied up, mouth taped, blindfolded. A minute later the blindfold was removed and the tape was ripped off. She shrieked, along with the others who had the same proceedger done. Etemon stood before them, with two of his goons. Amber whimpered.
"What do you want?" She asked with a strong voice.
"To offer a option." Etemon said. "Now yall can either be on the good side, with them digi-destine like her brother, or," Etemon said." you can form a alliance with me and the rest of the evil digimon."
Amber's heart pounded. Her face dropped. She couldn't betray her brother. It was unspeakable. But she didn't want to die. Not in the hands of Etemon. That'd be worse. Or would it? Amber's face showed the worry as she fought the battle in her head. She took a deep breath. "I don't know about Clary and Tazzie but I'm out. I can't betray Matt." Her voice was strict and stern.
"Wrong answer." Etemon said and kicked her, making her double-in.
"I-I-I-don't know what to- I-I-"Clary stammered.
"I'm with Amber on this one. I'll never join the likes of you." Tazzie hissed.
Amber took another deep breath. She got on her feet, crouching. Then she leapt up and onto Etemon. She ended up hitting a button with him, and the door opened. Etemon clutched on, but Amber, Tazzie, Clary, Lunamon, Gabumon X, and Viximon tumbled out. It was daytime, it looked almost afternoon.
"Oh no." Amber said. "We could be miles away by now."
Clary's face dropped even more. "No! No! No!"
"Clary, calm down. Sit up." Amber said.
Clary obeyed. Amber scooted over, and she roughly untied Clary's hands. Clary finished untying herself, then untied the rest of them. Amber tried to figure out what to do next. She closed her eyes and thought hard. "Shadow Boy? Shadow Boy? Are you there? I need help." She thought.
"Go the direction Clary's facing." His voice instructed.
"Fallow me guys." Amber said, and before anyone could say anything, she said, "Just trust me."
They walked in that direction for two hours, then Amber dropped to her knees in pain. Her right knee wasn't letting up. She kept crying. She felt weak, but Matt was miles away by now and she was hurt. She was scared, hungry, vonerable. She kept crying until someone wrapped their arms around her. She opened her eyes to see Matt.
"We found your tracks." He said.
Amber hugged him tight. She'd been scared she'd never see him again.
"I think we should head into the trees." Izzy said. "It'll provide some shelter. It looks like a storm is coming on."
Amber now noticed a forest. And the fact it was a little dark because the sun was covered in dark clouds. She stood up, Matt still hugging her. He lead her to Sora who had the wagon. He sat her in on top of the sleeping bags, and they headed into the forest. Sora pulled while Matt held Amber's hand as they went.
Amber, Clary, and Tazzie explained what happened in Etemon's train. Matt seemed to get madder by the minute. Amber squeezed his hand, and he smiled at her loosing up. Soon they found themselves in front of a big tree.
"This is one of those trees the digimon showed us our first day here, Tai." Izzy said.
Most of them blinked hard when Izzy disappeared into the tree. They fallowed suit. The tree was a fair size. Matt sat down nest to the wagon, next to Sora as well. Soon they were all sitting down. The storm rumbled. One loud crack sent Amber into a panic. She curled up in the wagon, and Mat rubbed her back to calm her down. He kept on as did the storm.
"Are you okay?" Shadow Boy's voice asked.
"I think so." Amber said. "What about you?"
"I'm okay. Gotta go now."
Amber reentered sleep at the sound of the pitter-patter of rain against the tree.
Jeesh! That was quite a day! But the question still remains, why do they want Amber? What extent will they go to obtain her? And what ever happened to Willis? Find out next time on Digimon: The Crest of Trust!
