Hey guys, it's me again, Lunamon810. I've thought a while about this chapter, and I'm fairly pleased with how un-lazy I was with the attacks and digivolving. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter! Don't forget, the Digimon: Crest of Trust face book page is up if you wanna see my updates that I post now and then, letting you know when I'm working on it, when I'm not, stuff like that. And I posted a D:TCOT trailer on youtube! Anyways!
Amber: Stupid disclaimer time. Lunamon810 doesn't own Digimon or any of the charecters in digimon. She does own me. Other users own non-real-digimon-charecters besides Amber.
Me: That'll do.
Matt: Thank Digi-God. Okay. Everyone finally laid down to rest when a familiar friend came into my sister'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 Lunamon digivolved into Lekismon at the nick of time. Phew! Better yet Relemon digivolved as well and yet Gabumon-X found themselves in the group. Lekismon 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 Amber?
Amber laid inside the tree, unable to fall asleep. Amber and Matt were once again sharing a sleeping bag, and Amber hated to move and wake him up. Lunamon, Viximon, and Gabumon X laid in the wagon to Matt's right. Sora laid to Amber's left, giving off a tiny snore every once in a while.
Davis was on duty right now. Now that she thought about it, she hadn't really talked to him much before, so why not get up and talk now? She couldn't fall asleep anyway. She carefully removed herself from the bag and sat down next to Davis in front of the small, carefully placed fire they had.
"Heeey Amber." Davis said." What's up?"
"Nothing, can't fall asleep." she replied casually.
"You've been like that for a couple of nights now." Davis said, slightly furrowing his eye brows." Why?"
"Dunno." Amber said, hugging her knees. " Maybe it's just being in a different world."
"Maybe." Davis said.
"Did you ever have to sleep here?"
"Yeah, once or twice." he answered. " I guess everyone's different."
"Guess so." Amber said.
Amber remained in her hugging-knee position. She stared into the fire for a few quiet minutes. How could she sleep with Etemon trying to kidnap her, along with Tazzie and Clary? She didn't think anyone could sleep with the weight of her, her best friend, and another girl having been kidnapped the previous night, and the possibility of it happening again soon.
"Hey, whatever happened to that Willis kid?" Amber asked.
"I'm not sure." Davis admitted. " I know he was running late to Matt's birthday party."
"So, he may be here somewhere?"
"Good question." he said. "I suppose he is here somewhere. He is a digi destine too after all."
"So…he could be in danger somewhere?"
"He's got two digimon to protect him." Davis said reassuringly. "He'll be fine."
"I guess so." Amber said.
"Don't worry about him." Davis said. "You need some rest Amb, I promise your safe while I'm on guard!"
"…Okay." Amber finally said.
She laid back down in the sleeping bag next to Matt. It felt warm and safe in there, even though she'd been kidnapped from there the previous night. Matt groggily opened his eyes and gave Amber a tiny smile. He grabbed her hand, and fell back to sleep, Amber right after him.
"Hey Amber." Shadow Boy said.
"Hey Shadow B, what's up? Something trying to get me again?"
"No, you only seem to sleep good when I'm here."
"I wouldn't call that a good sleep." Amber said flatly.
"You sleep longer." he corrected.
"Well, I'm scared out of my mind with Etemon or whatever his name is trying to kidnap me."
"I know. Just keep near Matt."
"I'm trying." Amber said. "I was kidnapped! And I was in the same sleeping bag as him!"
"I know, I know." he said. "I think you're okay for right now."
"You think?"
"Amber, just trust me."
"How can't I trust someone who's so secretive!"
Matt shook Amber awake. The tree was full of the smell of cooking fish, which brought her up. She looked at Matt and smiled.
"Looks like you got a good sleep." Matt said.
"I guess after I talked to Davis last night." Amber said.
"You made a good point about Willis being missing." Sora said as she put some grilled fish onto a leaf for Amber.
Sora handed the leaf to Amber, who gratefully ate.
"So, should we go look for Willis?" Davis asked. "I mean, he is part of the team."
"But he may not even be here." Izzy said.
"But we can't take the chance if he is." Davis said.
"Davis, you've gotta think about it." Matt said ."Is it worth loosing thirteen people for one?"
"I think he's right Matt." Amber said ."Willis is part of the team. And what's the point of a team without all of the members?"
Matt looked a bit shocked at Amber. "You can't even walk long enough to search for him!"
"Can too! And you seem to like pulling me anyways." Amber protested. "Even when I objected for you not to you pulled me, but when I say you can you don't want to?"
"Amber I…I didn't mean to make you mad. I just don't want to risk loosing you like I did…."
Amber's expression softened. She felt bad for yelling at Matt. She wrapped her arm around him. She didn't like he was upset, she'd reminded him about T.K.
"Sorry." Amber said.
"Okay, lets have a vote." Sora said, "All in favor of going to find Willis, raise your hand."
Davis, Amber, Tazzy, Clary, Yoliey, Kari, Tai, Joe, Cody raised their hands.
"All apposed?" Sora asked.
Sora, Matt, Izzy, and Mimi raised their hands. It was obvious they were going.
"After we eat." Agumon said.
"Yeah, yeah." Tai said.
They had a breakfast containing fish and apples. Amber stared at her food while she ate, Davis to her left, Matt to her right.
"Thanks for backing me up Amb." Davis said.
"No prob."
"Nobody ever seems to back me up."
"That's because when we do everything gets screwed up." Yoliey said.
"Hey!" Davis said.
"Okay guys, chill." Amber said rolling her eyes, then taking another bite of her apple. "Seriously, we can't turn our back on Willis. We should go."
"Exactly!" Davis exclaimed. "Don't you remember what we had to go through just to get the guy's trust!"
"Of course I remember!" Yoliey shot back sharply.
"Guys!" Amber exclaimed. "Eat your fish and apples where we can get this over with!"
Everyone stared at Amber, who just rolled her eyes and took another big bite out of her apple. Once they were all done, they packed their remaining food, fire wood, everything into the wagon since Amber convinced Matt she was good on her leg now, although she did have to walk next to him.
"So, what way do we go?" Davis asked.
"You wanted to go, you lead the way." Yoliey said cockily.
"Amber sudjusted it!"
"Thanks Davis." Amber said. "'Cause I had such a awesome since of direction trying to find you guys yesterday."
They all laughed at this, including Davis a little bit.
"Well Izzy has a map, his computer." Kari said.
"I'm not picking up any singles." Izzy said, clicking as they walked to the edge of the forest.
"Keep going forward, just angled a little more to the left." Shadow Boy's voice told Amber, almost making her jump.
"Fallow me. Something tells me to go this way." Amber said.
She got in front of the rest, and did as told. She heard Matt grumble something about her needing to stay next to him, but ignored it. Izzy closed his laptop. Lunamon stayed by Amber's side the whole time, and Amber was keeping a decent speed for her knee.
"Uh, Amber? Hide."
By this point they were back in the desert area. She saw several big cacti.
"Crap, I here something." Amber said. "Sounds like Etemon, get behind those!"
She pointed at the cacti. "Hide the wagon behind the rock!"
They made it to shelter just in time. Etemon's train pulled in meters away. Etemon jumped out.
"Boss, it say's there here!" A grunt cried out.
"Do you see them?"
"I bet behind those cacti!"
"Tear shot!" Lunamon cried out, and hit Etemon square in the stomach, and he stumbled back.
"Go Luna!" Amber cheered.
"Spiral twister!" Biomon called, and a green spiral of flames hit Etemon in the head.
"Dark solo!" Etemon called, and punched the air, sending a black ball of power at Lunamon, then Biomon.
Both digimon hit the ground with a thud. Both struggled up.
"Bunny blast!" a high-pitched male voice called out.
"Bunny blast!" another male-just lower enough to tell the difference- called out.
A boy and a girl ran out from behind another rock, smaller than the one the wagon was behind to their right. Two rabbit digimon, one with green details and on with pink, were at there feet. From the left, Willis ran their way with the same two digimon.
"Willis!" Davis called.
"Hey Davis!" Willis called.
"Terrier tornado!" Willis' Terriermon called, and spun really fast, then sent a green tornado at Etemon, who fell back.
"Little horn!" Gabumon X called out, and a small horn shot from his big one and hit Etemon in the fore-head.
"Blazing Ice!" the girl's Lopmon called out, as she ran and jumped in the air, and shot pellets of ice at Etemon's feet, trapping him to the ground.
"Dark Network!" Etemon called, sitting up and strumming his guitar hard.
The sound hurt everyone's ears, and they all winced and pulled their ears. Black lines tied up the new two kids, Amber, Tazzie, and Clary. Amber fell back, scrunching her face as she hit the ground. The others fell back as well.
"Viximon digivolved to…Renamon!" The now bigger yellow fox digimon called out.
Now 'Renamon' was a little taller than the digi-destine. She stood on two feet, was yellow and white, and had purple-black gloves. She jumped into the air, very simply but very high.
"Diamond Storm!" she called out, and sharp leaves- though they looked like diamonds- hit Etemon.
"Boss!" The same grunt called out.
"Get those kids!" he called as he struggled at his braking ice bonds.
One ran at Amber. Matt ran at her as well, but the grunt made it there first.
"Lunamon digivolved to…Lekismon!" her digimon cried. "Tear arrow!"
She pulled a crystal arrow out of her back, and shot it at the grunt. It dodged- or attempted to since the narrow still got the top of the Gazimon's arm.
"Electric Stun Blast!" It called out, and black vapor escaped it's mouth and clouded Lekismon, Matt, and Amber. They all were paralyzed, leaving them all venerable.
"This was a great idea Davis!" Yoliey retorted.
"Shut up!" Davis yelled. "This is not the time and place to be fighting with each other! V-mon!"
"V-mon digivolved to…Flamedramon!"
"Flame Fist!" Flamedramon cried out, punched the air, and fire hit the Gazimon, nearly knocking it out and with the weakness of it, allowed Amber, Matt, and Lekismon to regain power of themselves.
Matt finished untying Amber now. He stepped in front of Amber. "Gabumon!"
"Gabumon digivolved to…Garurumon!"
"Lets get out of here!" Etemon called.
He and the few Gazimon that'd left the train returned to it.
"Howling Blaster!" Garurumon called, getting a mouth of blue fire into the train just as the door closed
The train drove away never the less. Lekismon dedigivolved to Moonmon, Flamedramon to DemiVmon, and Garurumon to Tsunomon. Amber panted, but helped untie Tazzie. When she went to untie Clary, she found Clary was gone. She panicked.
"Where's Clary!"
Everyone looked around. She was no where to be found.
"Clary!" Amber called.
"Amber, Etemon's got her."
"I hate you!" she yelled.
She got stared at, so she added. "Etemon."
Amber stared at the ground, trying to comprehend the news. Her best friend had just gotten kidnapped by a stupid digital monkey. She broke out crying, hugging Matt. He patted her on the back. Davis stood next to him.
"Amber, we'll get her back-"
"Davis this was your idea!" Yoliey shot.
"No, it was mine." Amber sniffed.
"We'll find your friend." Willis reassured.
"We didn't give up on Willis." Kari added.
"We won't give up on Clary." Sora concluded.
Amber wiped her eyes and nodded. This, was going to be a long world-saving.
