Hey guys, it's me again, Lunamon810! With another amazing chapter of Digimon: The Crest of Trust! This is one of my more favorite chapters although, it does look a bit rushed, but I meant for it to seem really quickly happening, so…anyways.

Claimer: I own Amber!

(Just so we're clear, today Tazzie is reading this.)

Amber had trouble falling asleep at first, but after a chat with Davis she was able to go to sleep. Shadow Boy visited her again being as secretive as ever, although she didn't get a chance to talk with him since Matt woke her. Everyone began to discuss whether or not they search for Willis. Matt put his foot down at first, then got into an argument with Amber. Thankfully it didn't last long since she realized that her brother just doesn't want to lose her like TK. She apologized and gave him a hug. Aww, a brother and sister Kodak moment, quick get the camera! Anyways, they went to search for Willis with Shadow Boy's secret help, until they were found by Etemon again. Man, we can't catch a break with that digimon. Lunamon and Biyomon went attacking Etemon, only to be thrown off. Thankfully, there was help by two pairs of Lopmon and Terriermon's. The first pair belonging to a boy and girl and the other pair belonging to Willis. Amber, Tazzie and Clary were tied up by Etemon, but that's when Viximon digivolved to her Rookie form Renamon. With her Diamond Storm attack, she was able to give Matt a chance to help Amber. Lunamon digivolved to Lekismon to help only to be struck blind by Gazimon. Flamedramon came to the rescue Gabumon digivolved to Garurumon forcing Amber to retreat. Amber untied me and then found out, thanks to Shadow Boy that Etemon took her best friend Clary. This is definitely not a good start to the day.

Still in the middle of no where in the desert, everyone sat in a circle. Amber was still upset about Clary, and Renamon wasn't too pleased herself. They sat on fair sized rocks, some big enough for four, two, three, one, no matter what everyone was sitting on a rock. Amber sat next to Matt, quiet. The sun had just officially disappeared in the distance, so it was dark.

"Amber, I know Clary is your best friend, but you can't stay quiet forever." Matt said.

Amber was still dead silent.

"Amber?" Willis said.

Amber remained silent.

"Amb?" Davis this time.

"Amber speak to them."

"I will as soon as I see you in person." she thought, since she figured that'd never happen.

"Amber…"

"Just shut up."

"Clary's fine-"

"No she's not! She's with that monkey-faced Etemon and we'll probably never see her again!" she thought almost yelling.

"Everything okay Amber?" Matt asked.

Amber nodded. Sora looked at Matt sympathetically, when all a huge wind came through. Everybody ended up falling off their logs, and a few of them were caught in a swirling current. Willis, Amber, and Davis were in the air, and they joined hands, Amber in the middle. Matt reached for Amber, who was too far out of reach, with the hand that wasn't holding Sora's. Then the rest of them were whisked into the air, along with Matt and Sora.

"Amber!"

"Matt!"

They were growing further apart, and they couldn't reach each other at all.

"I'll take good care of her Matt, I promise!" Davis called.

"Me too!" Willis nodded.

"Matt" she screamed, as Lunamon held on to her leg.

All the digimon were holding onto their digi-destine, besides Renamon who was with Tazzie. Tai and Kari were together, and Yoliey and Cody were too. Felicia, Felix, and Joe were together. Izzy and Mimi managed to stick together too. Amber watched as her brother and the others spiraled out of sight.

"Matt!" her cry fell to deaf ears.

Amber, Davis, and Willis soon hit the ground with a 'thump, although Amber landed on Willis. She got off of him quickly. "S-Sorry!"

"It's okay, are you okay?" he asked sitting up.

Davis sat up as well. They were kind of in a triangle formation, Amber was in front of the two boys. Willis was to her right, Davis to her left.

"What, what was that?" Amber asked.

"No idea," Davis said. "but I hope it doesn't come back."

Amber stared, quiet again. She'd lost Clary earlier. Now her brother.

"We'll find them Amb." Davis said. "Don't worry."

Amber felt tears leaking out now. "I-I h-hope he and S-Sora stuck together. Sh-She'll k-keep him s-safe."

"Yeah." Davis agreed. "They'll be fine. But I won't if I don't keep you taken care of."

Amber nodded. It was really dark now. They were lucky to have landed in a clearing, in a thick forest.

"Where do we hide?" Amber asked.

"We'll find somewhere." Lunamon said.

"Yeah!" Terriermon said. "Everything's gonna be just fine!"

Amber nodded, and stood up. She nearly fell over, she had hurt her knee a little bit on the fall. At least it wasn't as bad as last time.

Lunamon poked trees, trying to see if any of them were like the one they'd hidden in. Sure enough, her hand disappeared into one. Lunamon ghasped, and Terriermon squeaked.

"Alright Lunamon, good going!" V-mon said.

They went into the tree, and Amber sat down. At least they'd had a sleeping bag with Matt. She was sleeping on the ground now. Willis gathered wood and managed to start a fire, which the seven of them sat around. Amber hugged her knees while trying to focus on the warmth.

"Don't freak out. Stay safe."

"No, I was gonna go find Etemon's headquarters and give myself up." she thought back, her 'voice' dripping with sarcasim.

Silence.

"Okay, who's got first watch?" Willis asked.

"I'll take it." Davis said.

"I'll take second watch then." Amber said. "I'll be lucky to manage to sleep a second anyways."

"Okay, Willis has third watch." Davis agreed.

Amber laid down , a meter or two from the fire, although she was still cold. She curled into a ball, hugging her knees even though she was on her side. Willis, Terriermon, and Lopmon fell asleep quickly, along with Lunamon. V-mon drifted to sleep too, but Amber's insomnia dragged on. Davis eventually stood up and walked over to her.

"You good to watch Amb?" He asked.

"Yeah." she said.

He took off his jacket and handed them to her. "Keep it on, it's cold."

"Okay-" She had no idea what happened, but the next thing she knew she was kissing Davis. It hadn't been just him though, she'd been part of it. When they pulled away she nervously looked to the ground.

"I-I'm sorry- I-I-"

"I-It's okay." Davis said nervously.

He helped her into the jacket, and she sat at the fire. She finally felt warm enough to not be miserable. She still hugged her knees, occasionally looking over to the sleeping Davis and V-mon. She stared into the fire for a while, and her eyes drooped more and more.

She wanted nothing more than to understand. To understand where Clary was. To understand why Clary was taken. To understand why she, Clary, and Tazzie were wanted so badly. To understand why she was here. To understand who Shadow Boy was, and why he talked to her. To understand why that tornado happened. To understand why she had to be split up from Matt. To understand why…Davis kissed her.

Eventually she peeked outside. The sun was extremely faint in the distance. She shook Willis awake.

"Your watch." She whispered, and he nodded and went to watch while she drifted to sleep, which was great and odd for her.

Matt woke up, Sora shaking him awake. She looked worried.

"Matt, what's wrong?" she asked. "You were like, crying and screaming in your sleep!"

"Uh…just worried about Amber." he said groggily, sitting up.

They were inside a cave, and sunlight drifted through the entrance. It was just them, Biyomon, and Gabumon.

Tai and Kari had landed further out in the desert, and had met Carter the previous night. Carter had shown them the circle of rocks here and Coronamon were using as shelter, and that's where they slept. Now they sat, eating a apple each.

Amber woke up on her own this morning. Willis and Davis were walking into the tree with a huge leave with fruit piled in the middle. The sat the leaf on the ground, and Amber walked over next to them.

"Morning guys." she said.

"Morning." They said in unison.

They all sat, and each of them picked up a type of fruit. Willis got a pear, Davis got a apple, Terriermon and Lopmon both got a bannana, Amber got a pear, Lunamon got some berries, and V-mon got a apple.

"So what's the plan?" Davis asked.

"Not sure." Willis said.

Davis looked at Amber. Both blushed, remembering the previous night. They stared at each other for a minute.

"Am I missing something?"

"Nope!" Amber said the second he finished the sentence

"Well I think we should figure out a way to carry our remaining food with us. Then we should see if we can find anyone nearby." Willis sudjusted.

"Good idea." Amber nodded.

Once they finished, Amber showed them how to fold a big leaf into a back back-like shape, then rip the end for straps, stab in a few sticks to keep it together, and made a good-enough backpack to carry the remaining food in between the three of their backpacks.

"Well, lets get going." Amber said, and she was the first out the tree.

The others fallowed close behind her. She just went by instinct, hoping at some point Shadow Boy would jump in. Occasionally she'd call in her head for him, to no avail. The forest was dead quiet besides their walking, and it was starting to come a bit unnerving for Amber.

"Your getting close."

"To who?"

"Um…you'll see." he said. "Split up!"

She stopped. "Okay, I think I heard something. Willis, you go that way, Davis, you go that way. Meet back here in a hour, if you found someone or need help shout."

"Okay." Willis said.

"Wait Amber, are you sure we should split-"

"Yes I'm sure! Now go!"

Davis and Willis left her alone, and she continued forward. She kept a close eye out, then she saw it. There was a huge glass tube in the trees. There was a few meters of clearence around it, so she walked in front of it. Him. Shadow Boy. He was trapped in the tube. In full color. She felt like she'd seen him before…

"Uh…hi." he said.

"You're…you're…you look like…" Amber trailed off, then jumped when she figured it out. "Matt's brother!"

"T.K."

The blonde haired boy nodded. He had his usual outfit on, a blue and yellow long sleeved shirt, blue-green-gray shorts, and blue high-tops. And of course, his white hat.

"You-you're dead though!" Amber exclaimed.

"Well, actually, Azulongmon brought me here right before I was going to get ran over…"

"What? Azulongmon?"

"Digimon Dragon God Thing." T.K. said. "Anyways, it kept me from dieing."

"You're Shadow Boy." Amber said.

"Uh-huh."

"You couldn't tell me you were T.K.?"

"No, if Etemon heard you he'd know I was communicating with you."

"Well how do we get you out of this tube?"

"Well, I can't get out myself, but I can be pulled out."

"Well then, time to get out."

She grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the huge tube.

"You'd better get Willis and Davis."

"Willis! Davis!"

She heard running in the distance, and soon they emerged into the mini clearing.

"Amber-T.J.?"

"T.K." he corrected. "Long story. Just come on."

He lead them a long way, with a lot of questioning. Soon they were out of the forest and at the enterance of a cave.

"Matt?" T.K. called.

They walked in, and sure enough in the back Amber and T.K.'s brother and Sora were back there.

"T.K.!" Matt exclaimed.

"Hey!" T.K. grinned.

Matt ran at T.K. and hugged him so tight, Amber got worried if he could breath or not.

"How?"

"Azulongmon brought me here."

"Wait, what? What does it matter! You're here!"

Matt looked at Amber, then hugged her almost as tight with one arm, still hugging T.K. with the other.

"This is so confusing…" Sora said.

Amber nodded in agreement. This would take some questioning and getting used to.
