Just doing this to explain how Laura got there

~*~*~*~*~*~
I opened my eyes and fell about four feet onto the floor and landed with a oompf. I moaned and rolled over as all the stuff hit me in my back, slowly I raised up out of the crumpled material and tried to scoop it all up, I placed the beads around my wrist and placed Satoshi's glasses on my face and scooped up everything into my arms. "Satoshi?" I asked walking around the house.

"He's not here" I heard a voice appear behind me, I turned to see, myself? In a School girl uniform, but how could it be another me? I was so confused. "He's in a house a few houses down, run or your not going to make it in time" She warned, I had to juggle the stuff but I still made good time in my run to reach the house, the first thing I noticed was the door busted open and Haruka in the den of the house, with Satoshi slumped against the wall.

"Satoshi" I yelled running into the house and droping down next to him, embreasing him in a deep hug, I finally let go and noticed the black eye and how weak he looked. I shot a glance up to Haruka, she began to say something but I didn't listen.

"Laura.." Satoshi moaned, his voice sounded so weak, his eye was black and soaked in blood.

"Ohh..what did Haruka do to you?" I asked him, I licked my finger and rubbed it over the eye trying to clean the wound out. Satoshi stopped breathing for a second and his body seemed to fade in and out again. "What's wrong, Satoshi..Satoshi?!?!?!"

Satoshi's disapearence was now coming at a faster rate, he was almost gone, what was left, it was bearly a shadow of what he used to be. "This isn't fair...I just came back Satoshi..and look, I brought gifts.." I said holding out the items, I dropped them on the floor and they fell straight threw his feet, I reached out and hugged him so tightly not wanting to let them go. I finally looked up at him with tear filled eyes as I held onto what was left of him, Satoshi smiled and touched the glasses that I was wearing, I hadn't even noticed I still had them on.

"Laura...stay here.." Satoshi told me, with one last pulse he disapeared completely, leaving my hands empty, I just looked at my hands...my empty hands. I dropped to my knees, my hands were empty...MY HANDS WERE EMPTY.

"Sa-to-shi" I wimpered, I looked around the house, it was so big, I was in the Digital World and I felt so scared, so alone, maybe everyone else knew where Satoshi went, I started to walk out of the house and down the street, I just kept walking and walking with my arms out infront of me. I didn't blink, I didn't do anything but just kept on walking.

"Laura what's wrong?" The big Laura asked running up to me, I must had walked all the way back to the hill, that one guy that Laura was with got down on his knees infront of me and looked into my eyes, I looked at him then back at Laura then back at him.

"My hands, they're empty, see" I said shoving my hands into his face, he placed them down and smiled, I turned to Laura and showed her my hands.

"Maybe we should take her to Kenichi and the rest of them, they may know what's wrong with her" Big Laura said placing a hand on my back and guiding me along.

"My hands, they're empty, they shouldn't be empty" I said looking up at the big guy that was Big Laura's friend. He looked back at me with a worried look.

"Well, that's a nice sentiment and all, but as you said, you are not Satoshi," I said. "I will talk, but let's change this situation a little bit. Kari!"

The girl who had been sitting on the bench jerked up akwardly and took a look at me. I noted with relief that Auny was standing alone with David now, the leather-clad copy gone from sight. At least the danger was largely gone in this area... But probably not for long.

"Ask those digimon over there to bring over some rope or twine!" I shouted, not letting off from the copy.

She nodded, and jogged off to the nearest digimon who had been enjoying the festivities. It took a minute or so, in which Auny and David had reached me, but she brought a line of rope with her.

With my experiance in hand, I knotted both of the copy's hands together, making it tight and secure. Now escape for him was almost impossible, even if he could run... His balance would be shot with his hands behind his back. I brought him up to his feet once more, and noticed the D-Sense at his side... It appeared to be Satoshi's. With a quick grab, I snatched it without him realizing it, and stuffed it into my pocket.

"Well now, that's slightly better than having my arm broken," he whispered.

I ignored him for the moment. "Auny, David, are you guys alright?"

Both nodded in return, Auny herself looked somewhat confused. A nice bruise was shaping up on David's face however, from the kick to his jaw. It would hurt for him to talk...

"So, Kenichi, where is good ol' Rigiamon at the moment?" the copy asked.

"He should be coming back shortly to act as a defence against some more of you copies... Which should probably be attacking us soon with our lucky streak. And he should be able to tell us where the Temples in this area are."

"The Temples?!" the copy cried. "He's trying to locate them?!"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
My hair was a mess. That was the kindest way to put it, at least. But we were alright, for the most part. It seemed my feeling of this town was correct... Even though I was right, I wasn't happy with it. What else would happen?

"The Temples?!" Satoshi's double, now all tied and stuff, yelled. "He's trying to locate them?!"

"What's wrong with locating the temples...?" I wondered outloud. Then, I grinned. "Ooh, that's what'll make them all go away." I giggled a little. I didn't know why. Maybe cotton candy was still having a little effect on me.

The clone stayed silent, but gave me an incredulous look, as if he wouldn't dignify that with an answer.

"He used to be so chatty..." I thought to myself. "Though, I think I prefer this more..."

I left my hair alone, for the moment. After all, it would probably get messed up again, shortly... I sighed. Doubles, doubles, everywhere. I felt that tonight would be more confusing than fun.

A little anxiety started to rise in me. Where's Laura? I started asking myself. She was with David, but now... I looked over at David, who was slightly massaging his face. What if she's out there all alone..? Or, worse so, what if there's a Yami after her?

I started glancing all around. But, of course, curse my luck, she was no where to be seen.


Horrible, little, teeny tiny post... But oh well.

"Ma.."I said, I felt my eyes tear in joy. Was this another dream, was someone controling my body on the other side, and this was just to entertain me?I held my mom tightly, grasping her shirt in my hands. Ok, so it wasn't a complete hug, mom still had the baby inside of her.

"What happened...tell me all the details!"My mom smiled, pulling a chair besides me. I sighed and sat up on the hospital bed. I had IV's running through me, and the thought of needles in me made me shiver.

"What's..this?"I said, opening a closed fist. It held a necklace, like a crystal. I felt like it was pulling me..like it wanted me to see something. I blinked, and soon faced with a glowing crystal. It's glow pulseated, and I felt it's light soothe me..

"Whatss....that!?!?!!"Mom said. I closed my eyes, and what I saw was a nightmare

Blood soaked pathways, human figures fighting.It seemed like a war was going on for ages, but something told me it was bloodshed equal to a one days masaqure. I felt like I was floating, watching all this happen..

"Laura..?"I said, my voice seemed to echo. I looked at a girl I once knew, a gentle girl...who probably help a fly, not swat it.The girl's hair was bload-soaked, it looked more red now than blonde..

"Sat-ohh.."She gased for air, and seemed to cough up blood. I floated down to her, and tried to calm her down. But no use, she couldn't hear me. All of a sudden, a black light slashed her, and she fell, her eyes rolling behind her head..

"LAURA..!!"I yelled, I felt tears...Was this what was happening when I wasn't there?

I looked all over, and tried to find another human. I soon found one that seemed to want to fight to the death.He had black, somewhat unruly hair. A Pair of goggles was on his head...Kenichi..

"Brother.."I whispered. He kept on fighting..till..till..


*Do you wish to go back?*I heard a womans voice.I looked around, and I saw some intense light infront of me.

"I'm Orphanimon, one of the 3 Celestials."She proclaimed,"I thought of sending you home for a while..I thought your mind needed a little rest. But what you saw here...is a Posibility of what you'll come back too."

"Unfortunatly, you don't have your D-Sense,so It's going to be hard to go back.."She continued."But there is a way. Later on today, a portal in the TokyoDome's Bolier room will be open. Then and only then you can go back.Otherwise, your stuck here, and this vision might become reality."

"I'll do anything, just don't let them die."I told her.She smiled at the remark, and the light she came in seemed to encase her.

"That's what I thought wind would say."She smiled,"Go...and comfort your mom.Tell her I send my praise."



"Satoshi...Satoshi...come on...don't leave me again!!"I heard a familar voice call to me. I opened my eyes, and there was my mom. She sighed, and placed the tear-soaked tissue down.

"Mom, you worry to much."I smiled, and she smiled back. I looked over at the next bed, which wasn't so far away.

"She requested it. To be with you."Mom said,"I don't know why though..you know her?"

"In..the digital world..Me and her..."I tried to fumble around my words. My mom wanted me to date someone my own age, never someone younger than me by more than a year.

"Uhh..Nevermind that subject. Tell me everything you did there."My mom said, with a wide smile on her face.

"Mom...I found my brother."

"Your done!I've got the rest from here, Aoi-sama."Tentomon said,"And for overworking you so much, I'll give you this. Use it wisely though."He handed me a envelope with my name in Hiragana written on it.

"It's some Digiyen for you, and a gift certificate for someplace in Playa Beach...I think Hoshi Resorts?The owner there is really nice."He smiled. I I held on tightly to the envelope, and went on my way..

"Sayonara!"I smiled, and walked off in my Kimono, which I had loosen up.It was dificult working around fireworks in a Tight Kimono.I first wanted to look for that duplicate of me, the one who took my D-Sense. Labramon walked besides me, sniffing the nighttime air..

"Something happened..."She said in a low, haunting voice.I looked at her, to see if she was joking...She wasn't at all. I started to walk in a quickened pace, and soon made it to the girl from before crying. She had one that looked just like her, and some other people around her..

"I..I dont know what happened, I think...Haruka might...I dont know...Haruka hurt him...and he disapeared...he died right infront of me and I couldn't do anything "I overheard her say.....Did she mean Satoshi?I knew Haruka, and she would only beat Satoshi if she was really mad at him for something.

"Sa-to--shi-sama."I said, and fell on my knee's...



I would do a Yami Satoshi Post..but maybe I'll edit it in later.^^

~*~*~*~*~*~
I closed my eyes and just kept on walking, the images the sight of Satoshi dieing right in front of me. His last words for me were to stay there, and, and I betrayed him. Maybe he was going to come back if I hurried back maybe he wouldn’t be mad at me. I turned and tried to run but the big Laura’s grip was to strong I struggled and continued to struggle till my own muscles betrayed me. I just slumped over and allowed myself to be pushed along the road until Kenichi and the rest were in sight.

“See were here” Big Laura told me, I just turned my eyes back to my hands, they were empty. I could hear some one running up to us but I didn’t want to look up, I had betrayed Satoshi and watched him die in my hands.

“What’s wrong with her?” Auny asked, her voice was faint almost far away like I just kept looking at my hands, my stupid empty hands. “I’m going to kill Satoshi if he hit her again” She added I kept looking at my hands and started crying Auny couldn’t kill him because he was allready dead.

"I..I don’t know what happened, I think...Haruka might...I don’t know...Haruka hurt him...and he disappeared...he died right in front of me and I couldn't do anything " I said looking up at Auny, she was shocked, they all were, Satoshi was dead and that was the point that it hit me: He would never come back, he would never touch me or kiss me or say he loved me. I just ran into Auny’s arms and started crying harder then I ever had before in my life.

Auny just hugged me and kissed me on the top of my head, as I sobbed. Satoshi was dead and one of us could be next, I didn’t want to die, I didn’t want to die.

I sighed a bit as I walked through the festival. I was wearing a hakama with a traditional kimono top and getta sandals. It was the clothing that samurai would wear, or those who practiced Kendo like I did in my school. I became seperated from the group and didn't really care all that much. It was a festival and they should have their break of fun. They didn't need me telling them everything they were allowed to do. Though, as the eldest one I did feel responsible for them.

Within all of the festivities I felt like I stuck out like a sore thumb. Everyone else around me was a digimon, even though a select few did look humanish. My mind started to wander, thinking about the group and what they could be up to. I knew that there were two new additions to it. That Kenji guy and another girl who seemed kinda fiesty. I frowned, I was sure they were probably 15 too.

It sucked being the oldest one, I felt like I couldn't relate with any of the others and just like how I was the 'oddball' around all these digimon, I too didn't fit in our digi group.



Yami Jun
====

It felt good to be released from the other Jun. I took in a deep breath and straightened my school boy outfit, the same one the real Jun was wearing. I decided to make myself completely identical to Jun, including the digi device, because all of the other pathetic Yami's were having a difficult time fooling the digichildren.

I walked over to a stand with a small pond full of goldfish. A digimon smiled and handed me a small fan like utensil. I knew this game, you had to try and catch a goldfish with the cloth fan. It was supposively difficult due to it being flat, but I dipped it in the water and caught one anyways.

"Sugoi ne~!!" The digimon cheered and took the goldfish and put it in a plastic bag, filling it up with water and handing it to me. I sighed and took it and paid the respected amount of yen. As a Yami, I sure as hell didn't really know how I should torment this group. I know I was to pose as Jun, but once I started to act ill-fatedly agains the group they'd know for sure I wasn't the real one. I suppose I could just act cool for the moment and play on some heart strings.

Once more I began to walk and searched for the group. I noticed the new black haired girl walk into a house. Perhaps the rest were in there. I started a jog and headed for the tea kettle looking hut and stepped inside the busted down door to see everyone already grief strickened. It was time for me to put on my act.

"What happened?" I questioned, looking at everyone in the room and then to the younger Laura.

[Thargor]

Kenichi Tanaka
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Satoshi... Laura thinks he's dead... I thought to myself, keeping a tight hold on the copy's shoulder. The scene had exploded infront of me almost before I knew what had happened. Nearly the whole group was present before me; both of the Lauras, Auny hugging the younger one tightly, David off to the side cradling his purple jaw, Aoi looking stunned on the floor, and Kioshi looking in at what was going on.

Something bugged me when I looked at Kioshi initially, but I shrugged it off as part of this odd moment... Was Satoshi really... Was this boy who might be my brother dead?

I looked to my right, and saw the copy smiling slyly to himself. I leaned into his ear. "What do you know about this?"

"What makes you think I know anything at all about the amazing dissapearing Satoshi?" he whispered back.

My fingers dug deeper into his shoulder, and he winced. I repeated my question slowly to him.

"He's not dead, I know that much..." the copy winced back. "One of those Celestials got involved and brought him back to the Real World. He's more free than any of you are."

A feeling of relief filled me, knowing that Satoshi was safe, and not blugeoned to death by Haruka. Now all that had to be done was break it to Laura... And it would have to be done well enough...

I pushed the copy to David, who looked at me speculatively.

"Press with your hands here," I pointed to a portion of skin between the copy's shoulder and neck, "And he'll be immobalized."

David hesitantly nodded to me. I walked up to Laura, still being hugged by Auny. I looked into Auny's eyes, almost asking permission to try and talk to her. After a long moment, Auny nodded slowly.

"Laura," I whispered slowly to her. "You can stop crying now... I know that Satoshi is still safe and well."

Laura's sobbing lessoned somewhat, as she turned to look at me. Her eyes were red, her nose was running, and she had the look of someone who had lost a close relative.

"But... but I saw him... I saw him..." Her sobbing threatened to overcome her.

"I know, but that was just Satoshi taking a trip... A trip back to the real world, where he'll be safer than any of us can be here."

"H-how can you know that?" her voice was nearly silent, sobs still wracking her small frame.

"I made the bad copy of Satoshi tell... The one that hit you, and told you untrue things to try and hurt you more... I made him tell the truth." I said, pointing slightly to the copy being tightly held by David.

I looked back with concern at Laura, not knowing how much this was actually sinking in. The crying had continued, albeit at a much slower pace... But the crying could not last much longer. Who knew how much more time we had before another copy was here?

[Gladiator]

David
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That feeling...again. That same stench of corruption. It was getting stronger. Coming from Dark Satoshi, Aunie and...Someone else was here.

It seems the Digital World had some kind of influence on me, allowing me to pick up on the vibes of others. There was too much interference, however, to tell me who.

I could only stand there, watching Laura cry. I was horrified, I wanted to say something to her.

I slowly walked up to her, dropping the clone as I did so. In one stride I had managed to hand a slip of paper to Kenichi, warning him, before standing before her.

Laura was upset, she needed somebody.

She needed a brother, and I was the best person for the job.

"You described Satoshi as fading out?" I asked, concerned. I was relieved when she nodded to me, "Hey, let me tell you something. That's not the first time someone has done that here."

She looked at me, confused. She was too upset to understand.

"Well, during the beginning of this adventure, I noticed that, sometimes, no one could see me, and they couldn't here me. I was like a ghost to everyone. On some occassions, I could here voices talking. Not ordinary voices, however, but my uncles Jason and Ark McCloud. They talked about everything that happened while we were here."

I took a breath, trying to ready my tongue (I also had to wonder where AlphaMagnetmon was), "You see, I kept slipping out of this world, but never fully crossed over to ours. The symptoms are the same, so I can only assume something similar has happened. I managed to make it back in one piece. I'm sure Satoshi will also make it back."

I had to look at her, and I suddenly realized something. I searched through my pockets before finding what I needed.

"You're upset and angry, I know, and you have every right to be. You're afraid of losing Satoshi, because you lost people before. Your father died when you were young, your mother didn't care for you. You lost a family, and now you fear losing the one person who loves you."

A new reaction, surprise, grief, and anger combined. She didn't have to ask. She wanted to know how I knew.

"I...have a picture, of the funeral. I didn't remember it until now. When Ark returned from that trip, I remember he was very depressed that day. From the time he was there, he had a good idea of what kind of person your mother was, and that was all he could talk about for a time."

Part of me thought I was making it worse, but I needed to prove a point.

"But look around you Laura, you're surrounded by people who love you and are concerned for you. We may not love you the way Satoshi does, and we could never replace your father, but we still love you, and we'll look after you. Cause we're a family, and that's what a family does. Satoshi will come back, I promise."

"Your..brother.."My mom seemed shock. Her eyes froze up, and seemed ready to cry,"Who told you, son?"

"Hawkmon did, he told me that he was born before me, and because he had little life in him, and doctors gave it a million in one chance of him surviving, that you allowed the Goverment to adopt him. You never told dad."I told her, looking in her grief stricken eyes. She seemed to think for a sec..

"I'm sorry that I didn't mention it to you before, Satoshi..I should've."Mom told me,"Who's he?"

"Hey,nurse!"I yelled to a nurse walking infront of the doorway, she stopped, and waved."I need a wheelchair...and someone to get these IV's out of me."

"Here you go, the wheel chair. I'll take the IV's out for now, but they might be needed later."She replyed. I found my leg's to be a little wobbly, but I got out of the bed into the wheelchair.

"Follow me!"I told my mom, and started to wheel myself around..muttering.."Kenichi..Tanaka..."

"Here we go!"I said, and with one door, opened his room. There was a Nurse over him, checking on IV's...She looked at me, then him, and smiled..

"Ahh..he's got family?"She said, and walked out. I wheeled myself next to his bed, and my mom stood on the otherside..

"Kenichi.."I said,rubbing on his arm slightly. He was warm, and his breathing was normal. I looked up at my mom, and asked"Was I like this?"

"You were twiching a lot before, and sometimes it seemed like your blood pressure went up.But your were peaceful, all besides that."She smiled,playing with his tidy hair with her fingers.

"Figures,In the digital world, His hairs really untidy.."I smiled to my mom. She giggled a little, and sighed..

"He look's like Satoru-your father."Mom said,"Like you look like me and a somewhat crossbreed of your dad and my dad."

I smiled, and continued to look at my Brother.

"Kenichi."

"..Satoshi will come back, I promise." David said, I looked around, these people they were my family, and Satoshi would come back? That bubble of hope and happiness came back up before it was dashed away. Satoshi he told me to stay there and I ran, oh god if he came back he would yell at me and hit me.

"I'm sorry" I said in a low voice and ran off, I ran down the hill, and down into the blocks and blocks of houses, I ran past house after house, before I felt a strong set of hands grab onto me and pull me around.

"Slow down" David said spinning me around, I looked at him for a second, I was so shocked, he had slowed me down and Satoshi would be back any minute, I had to hurry.

"I cant, I promised Satoshi I would stay, if he doesnt see me, he'll he'll get mad" I yelled my hair and face plastered with rage, David backed off for a second and I just colasped to my knees my body seemed to just relax and I started to cry again. "I'm sorry David, I'm so sorry I'm just so scared" I cried.

"Oh Laura" He sighed getting down on his knees and hugging me, I just sighed and placed my head against his chest and continued to cry.

"David, I feel so empty inside, I lost my Dad, and I might have lost Satoshi, I cant keep on like this David, I dont want to have this feeling inside of me any more, I dont want to spend the rest of my life watching every one I love die" I cried, David broke off the hug and looked at me holding me at arms length, even through Satoshi's glasses I could see the consern on his face. "David, I want to die, I want to die" I cried this time harder, I felt so tiard, so empty, like I was just a shell.

"Laura that isnt true, you know thats not true" He said trying to calm me down, I just shook my head, I felt so empty, so tiard, so sleepy, everything hurt, and I missed Satoshi.

"It is true, I want to die, I want it to end, I want.." I began to say, David just grabbed me by the shoulders pulled me toward him and kissed me on the lips. I felt my body lighten and for a second I didnt feel empty any more, David broke away from the kiss and I feel to the ground.

"Satoshi" I mumbled, I could see Satoshi standing there clear as day, he was the one that kissed me? the image began to twist and melt and it wasnt Satoshi it was..David?What have I done? I kissed some one? Satoshi would find out oh god if Satoshi found out what I just did he would hate me forever.

We just stood there for a few minutes, I began to say something when a loud rumbleing came down the street, we both turned to see a Rabitmon, a Digimon that looked like a evolution of Haruka's Lopmon and a Snow Leopard Digimon which looked like the evolution of Yukimon both running down the street, but they werent the same Digimon, they looked Dark and evil like the Yami's. "Laura..run" David yelled, I tried too but my legs were too tiard, I couldnt move I was just frozen there in place.

[Yami Annika]

Aunyailia
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I watched Laura run off, and everything in me wanted to run after her. But, right over her head, something caught my eye… It wasn’t visible at all, but somehow I could see it, and I knew it was there. There was only one person I had ever been able to sense without them being there: Hoshimon…

I could see her distant eyes, but, more than anything else, she conveyed her thoughts and emotions. Fear, anxiety… it was a warning.

A giant army, more powerful than the Digimon you have… Leave, Aunyailia. You don’t belong here, save yourself.

I glanced around. Kenichi was watching where Laura had run off. I held my eyes on him for a minute, before continuing on. Everyone else was minding their own business, or watching, too. My friends. My family. “We are kind of like a family, aren’t we?” I had thought when David gave his speech.

You don’t belong with them… Hoshiskymon’s thoughts met mine. Run! Please.

I looked down and saw the two very large, very yami Digimon ready to attack Laura and David. I had to make my choice now, before I got too involved, too attached. What was that phrase I had paraphrased so long ago? “Darned if you do, darned if I don’t.”… I took a few steps back.

“What are you doing?” The older Laura asked.

Then, although hesitantly, I charged forward. Yet again, I was thankful the slits in this dressed. “Our friends are in trouble,” I yelled behind me. “Got any better ideas?” There were sounds of footsteps as some came after me.

Well, I thought back to Hoshiskymon. I ran. I might not be much help, and I might get seriously hurt. I’ve given up on having a happy night. What are you going to do about it?

[Thargor]

Kenichi Tanaka
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Our friends are in trouble, do you have any better ideas?" Auny's voice was ahead of me quickly as she made her way forward. I was quickly on the move after her, my eyes darting from her form to the forms of the large white leopard and the oversized rabbit heading towards Laura and David. Their forms were largely masked by the darkness, but I could see they had the stiff looks that came with being caught off guard.

To my right and left respectively, Kari and Jun were also following Auny. I pushed my pace and was able to catch up easily as she was struggling with her high-heeled shoes. I reached with one hand to steady her, as she swayed on the grassy ground. I gave her a grim smile.

"I think this'll go easier if you hop... now," I said, as I held one arm steady. Auny leapt into the air, her cumbersome heels falling down to the ground. She landed barefoot, steadied by my touch. She gave me a small look of thanks.

"Now let's show them that when they attack one of us, they have to deal with us all," I said, as I brought up my D-Sense with my free hand...

-----------------------------

Rigiamon- Rookie versus Champion, Fight or Flight?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Blast Ring!" The deep voice resounded to my right, forcing me to leap prematurely from the dark ground into the air. My body was starting to take a toll from these attacks, and without Kenichi or my Rimon data, I had no way to digivolve.

"Ha! Gotchya little bug!" A hollow sounding voice echoed out of the depths of Beta Rollingmon. It's metallic surface gleamed in the half light produced by the shadowy temple that loomed over the group of defenders and myself. I could appreciate the design of Beta Rollingmon from above, its single cannon providing an excellent long range weapon. Unfortunately said weapon had begun to spit out energy at me while I was still in mid-air.

"Tornado Fists," I whispered to myself, rotating wildly in the air. The current whipped around my form, shooting me off to the side away from the explosion that ripped through ozone I would have been going through. The layer of wind around my body didn't do much to dissapate the heat that I felt, a blistering violent sensation. I kept my pain to myself however, even as I was knocked out of my own small tornado by Aquilamon.

I fell like a sack of stones, rotating to catch the ground with my shoulder. I rolled with the impact, lessoning it somewhat and ended up in a crouched defensive position, my legs and two of my hands stabalizing me, while my other two arms were curled back, ready to quickly strike out once more. A fortunate insurance, as Aquilamon was far from done with me.

His form dived down upon my own, wings pulled back to gain speed. A look of hatred was stamped in his beady bird eyes as he opened his mouth for another attack. With a snap, both of his wings opened to slow him down for the crucial moment of climbing back up into the air. As his speeding form came within reach, I took my opportunity. Striking with one hand, one of Aquilamon's eyes was slammed inward into his own skull. Before the large Champion could even get a half decent screech out, my other arm jutted out to grab one of his horns. Using what leverage I had, I swung myself onto the speeding bird Digimon's shoulders.

Using my legs to straddle his neck, I grabbed a firm hold of both of the horns, and brought my two lower arms into position. Then I used my spikes to directly impale Aquilamon's eyes. The screech of pain became one of anguish, as I harshly turned the digimon's horns to face Beta Rollingmon, now a distant speck on the plain below us. The blind bird moved to where I directed it, acting only on instinct now to be able to fly at all. We began to dive together towards the ground.

Balls of spasming light erupted out of Beta Rollingmon's cannon, as I used Aquilamon's horns as a pilot's yoke. Fire erupted around us, charring portions of my skin and setting several of Aquilamon's feathers alight. The firing proved useless though, as I saw the look of panic in Beta Rollingmon's eyes as it realized we would not be pulling up.

Kicking off from the bird, I leapt into the air just scant moments before the two Champions collided. Dust and dirt flew into the air, as Beta Rollingmon lived up to its name by rolling wildly backwards, the broken bird intwined in its armor. With a shudder, the two stopped, and both began to squirm. It appeared that in this case flight would be better than staying to fight... I could not easily penetrate the armor on Beta Rollingmon while in my rookie form.

Landing nimbly, I winced outwardly and inwardly. The fight had taken its toll on me, and I was scratched up, charred, and bruised. The two digimon had taken me by surprise as I had approached the dark glow of the obsidian temple. The Light temple in contrast had been deserted, it's simple form swathed in the colors of the setting sun I had seen when I had left there.

Suddenly towards the entrance of the Temple, two human figures stood out, a small female and an male... The little girl Laura and David? But no... Their data was all wrong, twisted in a most unprofessional way... Not too stable either... Copies?

Taking a quick measure of my situation, I knew they must be like the digimon that I had just faced. Which means the others can be in trouble. My choice was clear, I had no time to investigate these two new humans. I had to go protect Kenichi and inform them where to find the temples...

I kept a close eye on where the silent humans stood, before my feet pounded on once more, and I became a gray blur in the dark fields around me. The light of town glistened ahead, the fireworks that had gone on for so long ominously not present anymore...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Dark Digimon were almost on top of us, taking a quick look behind me I could see Auny and the rest of the group leading the charge. Maybe David’s plan to move wasn’t so bad, but what was the point? Maybe if I did die here and now I would see Satoshi maybe I could finally be happy. “Carrot Bomber” The Rabbit Digimon yelled, a Carrot shaped missile flew out of its hands on a collision for us. David realizing it was no use to get me to move threw himself over me trying to block the attack.

“What are you doing?” I screamed, I wanted to die I didn’t want any one else to die too.

“Your like a little sister to me, I don’t want you to get hurt” He replied, the sound of the missile began to get closer and closer, I began to squeeze out tears knowing this was the last moments that we had together, and that some one else I loved would now be dead.

“Armor of the EARTH” Kenichi yelled, He preformed a double flip into the air and landed in the missile’s path. In the blink of an eye the ground surrounding him rose up and created a glistening metallic armor that shed away when the missile hit it.

I blinked a couple of times; the echo of the weapon’s impact still rang in the air. “Move” Kenichi yelled, David helped me up and I moved a few steps before feeling what felt like a vice grip rack my stomach, I fell to the ground and David grabbed onto my arm almost yanking it out of it’s socket. “You okay?” David asked, I felt a warm liquid swell in my throat. I looked up to David and nodded that I was fine.

“Ear Flopper” The Bunny yelled, well this was it this was when we all were going to die.

“Gotcha” A cat like voice rang in my ears, I looked over to see David picked up by a Dark, Cat like Digimon, it was Auny’s digimon, but different.

“Laura” David yelled as my hand slipped out of his hand, I just watched as he flew further and further away.

“And I have you” Kari smiled, picking me up, and dropping me off near Auny. I just sank to the ground and spit out the blood in my mouth, the pain had lightened up but, it still felt horrible, I looked back at the start of the battle I had to do something, I had to help.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I dumped David out of harm’s way, and flew back before he could get a good look at me. At least I looked different from my other, more known form… But the repercussions might be unbearable for Aunyailia. Then again, a death might be even worse.

It had been dumb luck that I was “Hoshiskymon”, now. Aunyailia must have changed me long ago, and it was luck that she did. There was no way she could make the symbols, while being surrounded without looking suspicious. It was fortunate that she did – Hoshimon would have been no use against such things.

I used “flight”, and camouflaged myself into the sky. The bunny seemed to be the main threat… but, really, a bunny? It would have been comical had lives and sanity not been at sake. I circled around, until I found the ideal spot: the neck. I prepared myself, then bit down hard. My paw, which had been damaged, suddenly felt better alongside the screams of my opponent. There was a sound to my left, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw the leopard (OOC: is that one of the other ones?) head toward me.

Hoshiskymon! Aunyailia’s thoughts screamed at me. And then, in barely a whisper: Sweet Dream…

The leopard momentarily stopped, long enough for me to finish. My opponent was momentarily mentally unconscious, and some of the kids had taken over beating up the others. Using “Flight” again, I flew out of sight, and waited.

"Hun, Say bye to Kenichi for now."My mom said, about 10 minutes later, with a bag of stuff.My Khaki shorts, my red shirt. My leather jacket and my wallet.Everything inside of the plastic bag."I got you signed out. You seem more lively than anyone that's actually come back here, so I decided if you were to come back home, I wouldn't want you going back."

"I know saving the digital world is big, and I've done it before...But I don't want to lose you, Satoshi."Mom said, reaching for my face,"I don't want you to hurt right here."She placed her hands on her chest,where the heart was."I don't want you to say goodbye."

"Akina had that.."She said, looking at the now closed door of Kenichi's room."She fell in love, but he left, and the next time she saw him, she somewhat...died that day."

"You see, in the digital world, at that time, we were mortal. We could die, but in the digital world, we could be reborn from digieggs. Akina went through that, but her digiegg was in evils hands.
In that egg, was some of the worst nightmares you could see. And the bad thing, is that when she was reborn, she believed them for a while. She believed we hurt her, that we were the enemy. She thought that Nightmare in the egg was a reality,and the real reality was a dream. She began attacking us untill we could get her into another digiegg.Her soul was lost, she didn't know what to believe."

"But because she was in our hands then, we got her back. To normal, for what I know, Akina goes to therapy."Mom said,"But at the end, she said goodbye, and she told me it hurt right in her heart. I'm suprised she married her husband, I never thought she would. And I think she thought she was marrying Gali at the time too."

"Mom, can I get changed before we continue with the sappy story?"I told her, inside I was crying.She nodded, and I used the bathroom in Kenichi's room to get changed. It felt good with contacts on, my normal clothing. Although in the fall, I would go back to my school uniform.School..

"Done yet, slow poke?"I heard knocking on the door. I streched my newfound arms and legs, and walked out of the bathroom, using the comb in my pocket to comb out my hair, which had absoultly no gell or anything in it.It looked like I had a American-Mushroom Hair-cut. My mom giggled, and said "I'll trim it when we get back."

"Satoshi Takinowa's going home?"We went to the main office,"Everything is ok here, just call Dr. Shinwa's office in a week for a progress report."I sighed, and got myself a cola in the vending machine.I was thirsty..a feeling I never really felt in the Digital world.

"Come on, wait here, and I'll pull the Trail Blazer up."Mom took the car that I was praticing for my learner's permit for later this year. I waited outside,the warm summer air blew my hair in the wind.

"7:30pm your time..remember.."A Female's voice echoed in my head...I had a choice. Go finish what I started, or wait for them to come back.That's what I had to decide, and it was only around 1pm.. Mom soon came up in the Trailblazer. I got in, and buckeled.We soon left for our home in Asakasa..My home..

The ride was about 20 minutes with traffic, but we got there fine. We placed the car in the Garage, and I took my shoes off before coming in to the house. A 2 story house.I unlocked the door,and placed my keys..

"HOME!"I instantly yelled. And It was a reflex,too. I soon walked to the couch in the living room(they have a den too), and placed the T.V. on. Old reruns of Season 1 Digimon.

"Of course, My storys real."I said, watching the opening.I frowned as a single word came to mind,Laura. My mom came into the living room midway, and came in with some mini-sushi and popcorn.

"Hey mom, Can I tell you something?"

[Thargor]

Kenichi Tanaka
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Gai Grip!" I shouted, as I ran with all my might towards the lumbering bunny rabbit, Rabitmon. The ground was a blur beneath my feet, part of my vision disturbed by the now heavily chipped armor around my body. But what was really unusual about the whole thing was it was if the armor didn't weigh anything at all.

"Carrot bomber!" the white beast shouted back at me, turning at the last moment to shoot a barrage. The blasts caught my upraised arms, deflecting me from my target somewhat and getting rid of about an inch of protection. I lost my footing, and my arms wrapped around its right foot... Just in time for the molten rock and material that whipped up the ground around my arms to start to envelope it.

"Wh-what is this?!" The digimon bellowed. As my grip remained firm on the digimon's limb, hardened rock continued to climb up its leg. It would just have been a few more moments, and the entire leg would be covered. Already the hardened rock had come past its knee, locking it into place.

"Enough!" The digimon shouted. "Begone pest!" One of its fists rose up into the air, and slammed into my chest. All the air exploded out of me, as the rock connecting my hands to its foot shattered, leaving two small circular areas on the foot without any rock, the rest of the leg encased. I flew backwards, the armor on my chest completely smashed with the blow. I could feel heat come from it even now, the familiar smell of blood in my nose even before I plowed into the ground, back first.

Dust, dirt, and grass flew up into the air, as even my first contact with the ground didn't stop my momentum. I plowed through feet of dirt, to come abruptly to a stop... Pain was rapidly getting bigger, it was possible he cracked a rib or two with that blow, and at the very least would give my chest a black and blue look. It didn't help that there was now dirt partially over me, the cracked pieces of my armor having pierced my skin. Struggling to gain control of my body, I managed to get into an upright position, in time to see Rabitmon move.

It used both of its massive hands like a gorilla, knuckles down with its feet swinging forward. The right leg was completely useless to it now and it was unable to run. But in surprisingly few bounds, it slammed down into the ground next to me. Intertwining its fingers above my head, it brought both hands into one massive fist. With a jerk, it brought it down.

My body jerked as I tried to dodge, but I knew it would never be enough to miss this blow. Then, the fists abruptly stopped about six feet above me, a gray blur having stopped infront of my downed form.

"If have attacked him, and I shall kill you," the gray form said with a hard undertone. My eyes focused in the night air, and I saw it was Rigiamon. By bracing his legs, and using two hands for each arm, he had managed to totally halt the blow that had been intended for me. Now the overstuffed bunny's arms were locked into place, they were shaking with effort to try and break free.

With a move many gymnasts would find hard to copy, Rigiamon kept his grip on the bunny's arms, while bringing both legs off the ground. Spinning as if the locked hands were a beam, his feet squarely connected with Rabitmon's head, slamming him backwards. The rabit's eyes closed, as his arms flailed backwards, trying to stay upright despite his immobalized leg.

"Lancing cut!" Rigiamon whispered loudly, his fist's edges becoming as sharp as knives. With a single leap, he sliced into Rabitmon's head, creating a star-like wound right into the digimon's face. Rabitmon clutched its face in silent agony, falling to the ground with a heavy thud.

Slowly, I got up from the ground, my breath somewhat haggard, but in control. Rigiamon leapt to my side, helping me the rest of the way up. I pointed at the panther digimon off the side, slowly getting up from whatever had downed it from before.

"Ready for the next one?" I asked, forcing a smile as I let the pain wash over me, not even attempting to phase it out.

----------------------------------

The Real World...

"Doctor, come quickly!" one of the nurses shouted to the doctor looking over Laura's machines. They had been monitoring her carefully ever since she slipped back into the coma.

"What is it?" the doctor shouted back, already moving out of the room.

"Tanaka Kenichi is displaying odd readings, you should take a look at it. The doctor's mind darkened as a bad feeling overcame him.

Rushing into the room, he gave a little gasp. The heart monitor was bleeping rapidly, Kenichi's heartbeat racing much faster than normal. The boy's breathing was haggard, and he was twisting in agony on the bed. A couple of low moans could be heard from the body, the white sheets twisted around it.

The doctor quickly rushed to the bed, making notes of what the monitors told him. He drew back the covers somewhat, and let out a low whistle. Kenichi's chest was heavily bruised. What kind of coma could do this to a child?

Naboou, Gothic, where are you guys?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I layed back onto the nice soft grass and watched the battle play out down on the city below, I was useless in the fight seeing how Alpha had abondoned me and I couldn't do spells like everyone else I was just a liability someone who wanted the pain to end and to just be with the person she loved.

"Not feeling very good?" Aoi asked sitting down next to me and watched the battle continue, we were winning which was good and off in the distance you could see the Light Temple, which looked all pretty and shiny also grey and drab, almost as if it was coming into focus in the early morning light. I shook my head and wiped the rest of the blood off my chin, My stomach was feeling a little bit better but I still felt bad. "So you know Satoshi, have you ever seen him eat? he looks like a pig scarfing down everything" She said trying to break the ice.

I laughed a little and turned to face her. "No but I've seen him when he is really hungry he makes this growling noise like a dog or something it's really freaky" I replied with a smile, she leaned her head back and laughed, I was kindof getting excited and wanted to top her on the food thing. "I know that when he kissed me it was all slobbery and everything" I said and immediatly covered my mouth when I realized what I said, Aoi liked Satoshi too and I probley just said the worst possible thing.

"I've seen him kiss a poster, he slobbered all over that too" Aoi laughed and we both just sat there in silence for a few minutes and I started to tear up again, Aoi noticed this and placed a arm around me and gave me a one sided hug.

"I really miss him" I cried.

"He'll be back soon I know it" She replied and we just both sat there watching the carnage going on below.

"What is it,Satoshi?"My mom said cheerfully, sitting besides me on the couch. I grabbed some popcorn, and began to eat. I sorta looked around to get out of the hole I already dug myself,and noted the frig, and the 12 pack inside.

"Wait a sec, I gotta get something to drink!"I said, getting up quickly.My mom quickly pulled me down, revealing 2 cold cans of cola.Well, One was rootbeer for me. And the other was a Diet cola for mom...I sighed, and looked at her.
"Come on now, don't be a wuss.Tell me what you were going to say?Or I'll make you wear my old Sailor School Uniform."My mom said, smirking. I sighed, and began to talk about Laura.
"In the end, I suppose, you might can us..."I said,than added in a mutter"Boyfriend and Girlfriend."
"What was that?Speak louder son."
"Boyfriend and Girlfriend"I said, in a louder mutter.
"Come one, don't wuss out!Say it louder,"Mom said, punching my arm lightly.
"Boyfriend and Girlfriend."I said in a polite tone,"See?Is that loud enough?"
"Don't be such a wise crack.And"My mom said, placing the popcorn and stuff on the coffee Table,"And Aww..Satoshi's got a Girliefriend.."She looked sorta disturbed at the fact though, only placing a funny mask over her feelings. I opened my rootbeer, and studied her motions.

"Wouldn't you like..maybe..a older girlfriend?"My mom said, And I knew she would say it too. I took a sip, and sighed at her remark."Anyway,that Laura girl...do you remember her from a while ago?I was talking to Roy about her staying over, and you got angry because I would'nt help you with your Romanji and Hiragana.Well, how would you say about her staying over..I mean..if they.."

"I'm pretty sure they'll be able to get out of the digital world."I replied, and with a full smile-I added"That's fine!Aslong as she doesn't touch my stuff."
"Don't worry!I'll get the den setup if this is to happen."

"Now..Let's watch some fake adventure in the world we both traveled in."My mom jokenly said, and I laughed...didn't catching that last remark.

I walked around the streets nervously, ever since I lost sight of Kouji I was purely confused. I eyed around, searching for somebody I could rely one...but then, wearing a hakama and a traditional kimono, I spotted Jun...as if he were brooding in loneliness...maybe because at his age of 17, he was older than almost everybody. Sighing, closing my eyes, Arwen resting on my head, I strided foreward, pretending as if I was invisible and that Jun would barely notice me.

"Heh...you outcasted, too?" I heard him ask me with one small grunt, then my spine felt numb and frozen, I sweated slightly in nervousness, my eyes shooting open, as I turned towards him, slightly looking down, trying to avoid eye contact.

"Yeah..." I slightly whispered, feeling a large thought of emptiness inside of me, I tried not to bring back a memory...especially not that one of when I first started out school in my area in suburban Tokyo. Those times I'll try not to remember once I turn old and gray, lonely in my own place, nobody even caring...that is, what it seemed like my future would be like if it remained the same. I placed my scar was, I felt numbening around that area all of the sudden, was that happening to my real, mortal body?

I watched the battle ensue. I couldn’t really do anything at the moment, as Hoshiskymon couldn’t let herself be seen. I was worthless. And I was the one who ran first. A bit… ironic, maybe? My friends were being nearly destroyed, all over what: A temple? It must be near here. With so many Yami’s, it’s like they’re guarding more than random attackings.

Then again, what did I know?

Kenichi… He was hurt, I could tell. He smiled at Rigiamon and went - gallantly? Stupidly? – back into the chaos. Everyone was getting hurt, it seemed. What would the physical strain be doing to their real bodies? How long before we break? After all, Digimon are reborn. I wasn’t sure if we had the same luxury.

It was getting darker by the second. We were all getting more and more tired. There was only so many “spells” I could perform… And they were all defensive, which made me feel worse… when could I finally go on the offensive against these?

Could Digimon be hurt by human weapons – guns? Swords? Would it help any? I pulled out a hair from my braid. What kind of gun? How big a sword?

“Wield…” I whispered gently. A heavy weight came down on my palm. I hadn’t had much experience with advanced weaponry, but I still had never seen this kind of weapon before. Almost like a mini-rocket launcher… very powerful feeling. A useful feeling. Maybe someone was guiding me? Who, though? Nonetheless, this was my chance to do something instead of being defensive in this.

I took a few steps in the direction of Kenichi and Rigiamon, and took aim on one of the Yami Digimon. Walking to my doom… most likely. But what a ride.

"Guard duty," I muttered, "How boring."

"Well," Dark Laura responded, "Someone had to do it. Who's supposed to come here, anyway?"

I shuddered, "Morrigan. Ugh, just my luck."

"Aww," Laura mocked me, "Is poor baby scawed of li'l Morgi?"

"Yes, I am," I responded, hotly, "and you should be, too."

"Oh, you are so full of hot air," she responded. I recall being mildly angry with her at this point. No way was I exaggerating. My memories of Morrigan were as clear as David's. She was scary when she was mad, and for good reason. She could kick the crap out of most guys twice her size.

It was almost like fighting the Hulk. She was more dangerous the angrier she got. Of course, there are limits, but she was pretty tough.

"What makes her so angry, anyway?" Laura said. I arched an eyebrow in response. I had no idea why she wanted to know. I could only assume she would use it in the future as a way to torment Morrigan. Phhht, good luck with that.

"Well, I think it's inherited from her parents," I commented, "but I also believe the thing that drives her is also what makes her afraid."

"Afraid," it was Laura's turn to arch an eyebrow, "Afraid of what?"

"Fear of loneliness," I simply said, "and fear of commitment. She's always in conflict with her two fears, and it makes her lash out at everything."

"What started all that?" she said, and this time I knew she was prying in too close. I turned to face her, and noticed a rustle in the bushes.

"Now see here," I said, getting angry, "That is not for you to know. Trust me, you'd be on a one-way trip to the Digital Hell if EVER you use that knowledge against her. Morrigan is NOT your responsiblity, Yami Laura. You leave her to Le Fay."

"Are you going to make me?" she asked, trying to intimidate me. I could only smile at the foolish girl, as I backed away from her.

"I'm not going to," I replied as a pair of hands popped out of the bushes, grabbing Laura from behind. I didn't fail to notice the black flaming aura that was surrounding them. Suddenly, Laura erupted in a bunch of black flames as she let out a loud scream. She then ran away to a close source of water.

Morrigan, the REAL one, looked at me with those burning emerald eyes. I looked around for reinforcements. Apparently, there were none.

I weighed my chances of survival, and decided to vanish. I was NOT going to take her out on my own.

Besides, they can't die. I didn't see the point.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crap post, but I couldn't think of anything better.

[Haruko]

I only have time for a Satoshi Post.

satoshi takinowa

Watching the program made me think to a point. It made me miss the digital world, and the good and bad times. And two of the characters, Hiro and Nina reminded me of Me and Laura. Nina was a tad older than Hiro though, Like I was a tad bit older than Laura. And Hiro was more gentler than Nina, who would'nt give up a fight if she was forced to. It made me yearn for Laura and the digital world more then I ever did. The credits started to roll, and my mom started to clean up.

"Nina Shinwa-Akira Takinowa?Your her VA aren't cha?"I asked my mom, turning the t.v. off. She giggled, and shook her head yes.Mom was good at making her voice sound different, and perform all of there emotions. I never really watched the show, well..the first season, much. My mom started to search in the pantry for dinner. Tine flew by, there was a maration of Season 1 on. It was about 3 o'clock.

"Mom, I got something to tell you...I had my first kiss."I told her, in a quiet tone, waiting for a answer.She looked at me, and smiled.
"Cool, Satoshi's a big boy now!He got his first kissie!"My mom played around."With who?"
"Laura.."I said lowly. She looked straight in my eyes in excitement. She ran over, and started to jump up and down like the girls at my school.
"OMG!Satoshi got his first kiss!!"She said playfully.
"Like OMG!"I joined in, but it soon fell quiet, as we stopped jumping.
"Is it true?"
"Yeah."
"Well..Uh..Congrats then."She replied, and walked over to the kitchen counter.

"I'm gonna go to the store and get some stuff, and I'm gonna do the Laundry. Wanna come?"Mom said, getting her pocket book ready. I thought about it for a couple of second's.
"Nah, I'll go next time. I wanna get reacquanted with the home."I smiled, and my mom made a thumbs up. She closed the main door, and I soon heared the TrailBlazer getting onto the street.

I went up the stairs into my room. Closing the door, I turned on my laptop. I looked at my bed, nicely made. My hamster, Hikari, was eating his food. And my fish, were squirming for more food.
"I bet mom didn't feed you."I said, walking over to the tank. I gave them a pinch of Goldfish Flakes, and walked back over to my laptop. I quickly got up on the web, and searched.And while I did that,I thought...

'What are you doing right now Laura?'

Blahhhh

[Roy Karrde]

Hey guys I've had my name changed to Roy Karrde okay.

Laura Lutz
~*~*~*~*~*~**~
"Go fish" Aoi said, I conseded and grabed another card off of the top of the pile, one of the adults had given me a deck of cards to bring back, it was one of the only few things that I had kept instead of droping it at Satoshi's house.

"So you and Satoshi didnt know each other before the Digital World?" Aoi asked shuffling around her cards in her hand, the battle began to get louder below, and I winced at every explosion.

"No, we met ontop of a cloud, that was I think four days ago, but it seems so long ago" I sighed and Aoi looked at me for a second with a glimmer of hope in her eye.

"Do you have any eights, I never thought of Satoshi falling in love at first sight" Aoi grinned and I handed over three eights, She was winning, atleast I think she was winning, another blast sounded this time rocks and dirt was kicked up into the air causing our cards to go flying. "I cant take this, I'm going to go do something" Aoi finally said getting up.

I stood up and grabbed her arm, Aoi and I were becoming close friends, atleast I thought we were becoming friends, as far as I knew she could just be planning to brake Satoshi and I up and I was playing right into her hands. "I'll be okay" She said and I nodded, sitting back down it was just me again, me alone, in this big dark world.

"Laura" David waved running up the side of the hill after Aoi had run off, I waved back and began to gather up the cards again. "I take it Aoi decided to join the party" he said reaching me and sitting down next to me.

"Yeah" I sighed smoothing out my gown. "David, about earlier tonight..I know I freaked and it wasnt fair, we were out on a date and I bailed and I'm sorry" I sighed appologising to him he smiled and told me not to worry.

"Do you..think Satoshi misses me?" I asked and David smiled, placing a arm around me.

"I think it is tearing him up inside with out you there" he replied and I smiled looking down at the card deck.

"So do you know any card games?" I aske handing him over the deck, he smiled and thought for a second as I looked up at the stars and thought: 'What are you doing right now Satoshi?'

Yami Laura
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
"That damn Morrgan" I sighed the smell of burnt flesh and cloth lingered in the air around the area that I had teleported in. I hated being burnt alive becuase it always seemed to mess up my hair. Worst yet I was given the duty to wake up the most arrogant person on the face of the earth. "Wake up" I yelled kicking Yami Satoshi in the cheek. The kids had basically left him on the ground and forgot about him, which was bad for them, good for us.

"WAKE UP" I yelled again this time kicking him in the head hard egnough that it would have knocked a normal person's head off. Yami Satoshi moaned and rubbed his cheek, I took this time to fix my clothing to look a little decent, I mean I couldnt go walking around looking like I had just spent the last hour in a inferno.

"Oh it's you, David allready told you, I'm not Satoshi" He smerked rising up to a sitting position and rubbed his arm which was serverly bruised and had turned several shades of purple.

"Sorry, wrong person, now rise to your feet, were losing and we need your help, besides you dont think I would waste my time on some one like you if I wasnt desperate?" I asked, it finally dawned on Yami Satoshi and he rose to his feet.

"What do the Yami's want me to do?" He asked and I smiled before laying out the plan.

"Going food shoppnig.."I tried to get the idea of a 10 year old kissing a 15 year old out of my head, but it didn't work. I almost got into a car incident too, just for trying to think it...so I quickly parked into the parking lot, and ran inside with a cart..

I looked around quickly, searching for what I needed.I felt rushed in a way, but I don't know why..I guess I was hyper or something, that happen's sometimes.

'Why would he kiss a 10 year old..?'I thought, in the cereal aisle. We were pretty stocked up on cereal for now, and it's not like Satoshi ate them anyway.I walked fastly, trying not to concentrate on the picture of them kissing..

"UCKKK!"I yelled my lungs out. I got people staring at me like a weirdo, and I got people telling people I was a freak..
"Uhh..sorry...I sorta.."I said, trying to excuse myself. I soon found myself running out of the cereal aisle. I continued to shop, trying to think about some other things. Like Satoru coming home soon,and...

I couldn't stop thinking about that mental image..Satoshi and Laura..kissing....the two...kissing.I guess it was sorta freaky to think of it, but in a way, it was cute..
"Oh!!Akira-san!"I heard someone sneak behind me. It was Aoi's mom, Keiko. She smiled at me, and touched my shoulder. Her cart bumped into mine, and I smiled back at her. Keiko and Aoi looked almost the same, but Aoi didn't have Keiko's emerald eyes.
"Have you seen Aoi?She didn't come home from working at the convention."Keiko asked, worried. I sighed, and shook my head no. She looked down at the cart, then back at me again. She smiled back at me..

"It's ok, maybe she's at Hiro's house or something, and she didn't tell me."Keiko replied,"She does these things all the time."
"Well, If she doesn't come home soon, just tell me. Maybe Satoshi will go out and look for her."
"Thanks.Well, I gotta go make dinner."She said, and walked to the cash register. I finished my shopping, and walked out, with my paid groceries..

"Lancing cut!" shouted Rigiamon as he leapt into the air. Nimbly he twisted his body around, all four of his sharp edged fists piercing the chest of the fallen champion digimon. Rabitmon exploded into green light and numbers, his form becoming fuzzy in the steady increase of sunlight.

A line appeared across my D-Sense's screen. I pressed down on the button, and pointed it at Rabitmon. "Your fight is over now bunny." The data of the champion exploded in the air, and slammed into my D-Sense. The force of it made the device shake, as suddenly stopped, a card was in my hand now.

"Hold on," Rigiamon said, as he scooped me up into both of his arms. I didn't have much time to protest, and less even to enjoy the ride as he bounded up into the air, somehow taking my armored form easily in his arms. The field of battle below us had shrunk somewhat now. The only enemy combatant left was the blue leopard digimon, which had regained its head from its previous grogginess. Ice had already covered the area it was in, coming in droves from its mouth. Jun had been forced to back off, or become an icicle. Aoi could be seen running down from the hill where David was just sitting there with Laura... And then Auny...

What is she doing? I thought to myself.

Auny was running towards the snow leopard with something in her arms... With a small whomp, we landed within twenty feet of the monster before us. Ice had crystalized the blades of ice, making them crack audibly beneath my feet, which Rigiamon effortlessly seemed to avoid them.

The panther turned to face us, and barred its teeth. This digimon would waste no words with us apparently, it was aware of what we had already done. With a straining sound, the heavy muscles of its jaw opened to spew the deadly cold out. A cold light cascaded out as crackling overtook the air, the precursor to its attack…

“Try freezing this you overgrown cat!” Auny shouted off to the sidelines, hoisting something that looked eerily like a missile launcher on her shoulder. The charging attack dissipated into the air, as the champion had quickly jerked its head at the offending human. A look of intense concentration came across Auny’s face in the dawn’s light, as she went down onto one knee. Unlike a missile launcher, however, there was no light or smoke coming out of her device. One moment a large metallic bullet was on it, the next it was hurling through the air at the digimon. To say the digimon didn’t know what hit it was an understatement, the impact forcing it off its own feet and into the air. Its body fell heavily down several feet backward, landing on its back. I felt a moment of surprise and pride at this, had she taken it down?

Then, like a bullet in its own right the panther got up. Large discoloration was apparent on one shoulder, the icy blue turning darker shades, while trickles of blood ran down its flank. The bullet itself lay at its feet, halted by the champion’s rather thick skin. A person seeing this would think it was a miracle that a creature was alive, but you had to hand it to digimon, they were insanely tough. And rather than act injured, this one acted angry, so angry that its pupils had dilated to little points, and all of its hair had risen up. With a single howl, a breath of ice darted towards Auny.

The danger to her exploded in my mind, making my body move of its own accord. I knew immediately I could not get to her before she would be frozen stiff… But I had the earth as my ally, and I would not let her be taken away!

Almost as if in a trance, I felt my fist slam into the earth. For a brief moment, it was if I was part of the earth itself. I felt the movement of the dirt, the plants around it, even the sound of our feet against its surface. Imposing my will on it, the earth shook, and rippled past the dancing ice in the air. Like a tidal wave, the earth rose up in front of Auny shielding her at the last moment. With a crack, the shield of solid earth froze, and left her safe for the moment.

“Rigiamon,” I said, pressing the button on my D-Sense. “Time to put this cat to sleep.”

Silently, Rigiamon’s form bulged out once more, as he became the towering titan, Rigimon. His massive horn shone in the rising sun, and his four knives shone equally well on his belts, as did his claws of titanium. Bringing all four arms into a loose fighting stance, he eyed the evil KooriNekomon. The digimon stepped back in surprise, a look of true fear entering its thoughts for the first time. To the side of this scene, a smaller digimon bounded onto the scene, barking loudly in a deep voice. Its flaming tail cast shadow on the snow cat, as I saw Aoi come over to my side.

“Hey,” she said to me and smiled. I nodded back to her, and looked on at the battle that was commencing…

“Ice ribbon wave!” the previously silent ice cat digimon shouted, as it leapt towards Rigimon. The tail glowed somewhat, as it grew stiff and hard. Rigimon stayed exactly where he was. At the last moment, with two hands he grabbed onto the tail, and pushed the digimon up into the air. The smaller digimon hurled straight upward, as my digimon looked at Aoi’s Hephaestusmon.

“Attack now!” Rigimon said, putting his own words into action. “Fighter’s Spirit!”

“Fire Whisp!” said Aoi’s digimon in response, its tail growing brighter.

Rigimon was covered in a dark aura for a moment, then it seemed as if he grew in proportion. His muscles bulged, his eyes glowed, and all his metal surface became darker. With one gesture, the rippling light that had overtaken his body shot out in one massive wave, joining the flickers of light from Hephaestusmon. All this hit the ice digimon, making it impossible to see for a moment… But then, with a crash it smashed into the ground.

Auny had made it to our side by now, and watched on as the copied digimon twitched on the surface of the miniature crater it had made. Rigimon loomed over it disdainfully, as Aoi’s digimon watched him carefully, looking for his lead.

“This digimon is done for-” Rigimon started to say. In mid-sentence, it unsheathed two blades and twirled around. Bringing them together, he braced himself in the matter of just a fraction of a second. The blast of energy that came from over the hill pushed him backwards, as he reflected it up into the sky with tremendous effort. The explosion dazzled us with light, as a rolling tank-like creature approached us.

“This is just the beginning chump… Beta-Rollingmon, DNA digivolution!” It shouted. Streams of smoke poured out of its armored body, as a light shone out to hit the injured KooriNekomon. The cat floated into the air for a moment, before being hurled towards the smoke, at which point it was engulfed. An explosion that rivaled that of Beta-Rollingmon’s attack on Rigimon occurred, and allowed all those present to see the two digimon floating in the air, then grow fuzzy. Data flowed around them freely, as the two forms became one…

“Beta Rollingmon,” began the tank.

“KooriNekomon,” continued the cat.

“DNA digivolve to…” they said as one entity.

The light blew away in one moment, as the darkened figure before us landed on four legs with a metallic thud. The gleam of fangs and a twin pair of icy blue eyes looked out at us.

“Capri-Rollingmon,”the two voices uttered out of one mouth.

The digimon that stood before us was an Ultimate level, but one I had never seen before. The large ice cat had become slightly larger, but was now covered in gleaming plates of black metallic armor. Claws of shining metal were visible on all of its massive paws, spikes like icicles present on its tail like some sort of pre-historic monster. Large fangs came out of its armored muzzle, two glowing blue eyes peering out of the eye slits. Two large cannons lay on either shoulder, while another massive one was attached all the way from the middle of its back to several feet above its own head. This was no pushover.

“Fire Whisp!” cried Hephaestusmon, a note of panic in its voice. Rigimon made a move to stop it, but it was too late.

Flares shot out from the champion digimon’s tail at the newly evolved enemy before us. A deep laugh echoed out of its frame, as all three of the cannons seemed to lock onto a target. The tip of each seemed to be sucking the surrounding light, then a massive concussion sound exploded in our ears. Above the roar, I could hear it shout its attack in all self-assurance that it would win.

“Atomic Ice Blaster!”

Waves of ice, like nothing that the previous champion could have performed bursted out of the metal muzzles. The flares of fire were crystallized, then destroyed right before us. Rigimon managed to push the other champion out of harms way, however, before the attack managed to hit its target… It had only taken a few moments, but the area around us was now quite different. While the ground our digimon had gotten to was still covered in grass, just a few feet beyond the blast area opened up, leaving hundreds of meters of the field covered in ice. The edge of it ended mere feet from us, but I could spot that everything had been frozen, and could feel in my body that it wasn’t only the surface… Whatever that attack had done, it had done it to several feet beneath the ground itself as well…

“Well, let’s see how long you can stand against our might, eh chosen digimon?” the voices of KooriNekomon and Beta Rollingmon laughed out of Capri-Rollingmon’s mouth. Then, the fight truly began…

What had once been an easy fight, turned to a struggle for survival for Rigimon and Hephaestusmon. While they attempted to attack the Ultimate level digimon, they could rarely get close due to the cannons. Rigiamon’s size and Hephaestusmon inexperiance created problems dodging as well, despite both digimon’s deceptively good speed. The damage began to take its toll on the pair, as the Ultimate seemed only to be enjoying itself. What attacks did make it through merely seemed to scratch its armor, as it had been keeping its stomach well hidden.

Rigimon had spoken to me through my D-Sense early on, warning us to stay away from this fight, to stay at the sidelines. It had taken some convincing of Aoi, but the three of us were watching just outside the ice field… And feeling thoroughly useless because of it. But these digimon were at a different level than us… We would have to work at our abilities if we hoped to compare.

I felt Auny’s hand on my shoulder, as if she had been reading my thoughts. A look of uncertainty was written on her face… But we couldn’t risk the danger of being a distraction to the digimon…

Auny gasped, as I looked back at the fight. Hephaestusmon sailed through the air, and smashed through a crystallized tree, smashing it into shards. The fiery digimon skidded across the field for a time, then stayed still. Its size suddenly decreased, as it reverted back to its rookie stage. Rigimon stood off to the side, panting in its small respite from the battle. Its gray skin was covered in a thin layer of frost, and every breath was visible in the air. Scratches were common-place, and even with his enhanced strength he wasn’t going to last much longer himself…

“No!” Aoi shouted, as she ran towards her fallen digimon. She skidded across the field herself, but ignored it on her trek to her friend.

Capri-Rollingmon chuckled at this. “I suppose its time to freeze those humans for good… If we can’t kill em, just make em into ice-cubes!”

The cannons on the armored cat’s back rotated towards us, and began to charge once more. I gripped Auny’s shoulders, and began to move back, knowing full well we couldn’t get out of range in time. Rigimon shot up from the ground like a bullet, his eyes trained on me.

“Kenichi…” he whispered. His hands smashed into themselves, making massive fists. Blood trickled down them, only to freeze at the bottom. His pupils dilated, and an aura of energy appeared around his form.

“I won’t let them take you!” He shouted.

With speed I didn’t even think he was capable of, Rigimon hurled towards both Auny and myself. Just as the beams erupted from Capri-Rollingmon, Rigimon put himself in the path of the attack, his back taking the full brunt of it. A sickening crackling noise overtook the air, as I looked in horror at Rigimon. His back was completely encased in ice, as was most of his body… What little remained out looked blue, and was so cold…

Capri-Rollingmon cackled. “Well, that was an interesting show, now let’s continue on… What’s he doing?”

Rigimon’s form began to shake, and the ice began to crack. Steam blew out in waves from newly made orifices, and Rigimon’s eyes glowed blood red. The D-Sense in my hand began to vibrate furiously, as I looked in surprise at the symbol there… Rigimon could digivolve now? He was alright!

I pressed the button on the digivice, and Rigimon roared back to life. Shards of ice came off his body as he was free from his prison. Darkness flowed from the ground beneath him, engulfing his form as he seemed to grow slightly bigger. The sky above us suddenly seemed to grow darker, despite the early morning sun. The air itself grew electric as Rigimon twisted and changed before all present eyes.

“Rigimon, digivolve to…”

The ground began to shake, as streams of liquid metal slammed into the black aura that clouded Rigimon’s form. Chains, ones that you would think of seeing attached to a battleship or a cruise liner appeared around the dark digimon, as it slowly came into view.

“Rigmon.”

There he stood infront of us, a changed digimon. No longer was he gray, but a black that held more feelings of cold than the surrounding ice. Veins of pure metal and ore ran around his body where once ran tattoos. The massive chains encircled his arms, and ran down the length of his body at all angles, looking so horribly heavy and deadly. His knives had turned into four dark swords, their length measured in car-lengths rather than feet. Steam came from his nostrils, as he eyed Capri-Rollingmon. His eyes did not seem normal, almost clouded by red swirls.

“You shall not escape here with your sanity, copy,” Rigmon whispered with an odd inflection to his voice. To my surprise, it was barely suppressed anger.

“I shall rip you apart piece by piece, until I deplete your lungs of every last scream I can tear from your soul! I shall show you why I was once feared across this realm as a envoy of darkness and despair!”

Raising both arms into the air, the chains twirled around elegantly. “Chains of the Earth!”

With one smooth movement, the chains slammed into the frozen ground, and disappeared beneath the surface. All around us, the ground gyrated widely, making screams be heard from the village itself. The ground was torn asunder as thick chains came out into the open air, first just a couple, then a dozen, until a forest of metal was reaching out into the sky. Capri-Rollingmon didn’t have anywhere to run, and was quickly tangled in several of the massive metal chains. All four legs were wrapped in their own chain, and one lay across the mid-section. The digimon screamed in terror as it was lifted meters into the air, supported by the very will of Rigmon’s attack. The screams turned to that of horror, as the chains began to move in different directions.

I could only watch in wonder as Rigmon’s attack had changed the entire area, while avoiding each of us humans… So this was my digimon when he was angry… Had I done this?

Rigmon’s eyes grew brighter, as they peered at the struggling digimon. “I shall make you pay…”

The ground began to quake at a faster rate, as darkness gathered around Rigmon’s form, smothering the light…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The darkness began to creep over us like a black cloud while mechanical whines and begs for mercy could be shown, both David and I got up from the card game and watched the battle. Rigimon now looked different, he looked darker and more evil. He had grabbed on to some beast using metal chains to latch on to each body part of it, each chain was stretching into the ground, slowly ripping the monster apart, and at the same time the monster screamed for mercy. "Laura close your eyes" David warned coming up behind me and placing a hand over my eyes while placing another protective arm around me.

"David what happened to Rigimon?" I asked as the metal shreaks got louder and louder.

"I dunno" he replied at that instant a explosion that shook the ground, and brightened everything to the point that even with my eyes closed I could only see pure white happened, the air smelt of death and destruction as David and I fought the wind that followed in the wake of the Digimon's gruesome death.

"It's okay now" David finally said removing his hand, I opened my eyes and saw the burnt grass all around us. "Lets go find the others" He added taking me by the hand and leading me down the hill in silence. Below the battle field was well a battle field, the ground was destroyed and chared. there was crators everywhere and Rigimon who had turned back into his rookie form was with Kenichi.

"I'm sorry, I did what I had to do" Rigimon said approching us, that..that thing wasnt Rigiamon anymore it was, it was a monster that was just hiding itself in a costume. I jerked away from him and ran for cover behind David, in my mind I could see myself being ripped apart by the chains that had just taken the life of that other Digimon. "Laura I.." Rigimon began to say as he started to walk around David, David stuck out his hand to stop him and he shook his head "no" Rigimon nodded and walked away.

"Hey are you okay?" Kari asked coming up behind me, I nodded slowly, I didnt notice it at first but I was shaking like a leaf from what had just happened. "Anyway I had to go, I take it that I missed alot?" She asked I nodded slowly.

"Where..where did you go?" I asked, what had happened, why did she just suddenly disapear, could this be a Yami and not Kari?

The more I asked that question to myself,The more I was to closer brinking the edge of sanity and insanity.I felt guilty for leaving my friends, Hawkmon...Aoi and Haruka.And Laura.I looked around for my t.v. in my room, and I turned it on to T.V. Tokyo News.

"<Remember the Digimon card game?Well, we have footage of a digimon sighting...a real digimon."The T.V. Anchor woman acclaimed. And after her last words, a video appered.It showed a Tyrannomon in the Hokkaido area. It must of been a quick second though, it soon vanished, only leaving mist and fog behind, along with some huge footprints."<This is the latest recordings of a digimon prior to 23 years ago, when a Angel looking one and tons of others fought in the streets of Tokyo!More on this later.>"

My eyes shriveled in fear....could that happen again?There was digimon present 23 years ago.And it might happen again..I thought, I have to get back..I have to try the 'Anamoly' before what happen's on the T.V. becomes a regular thing.

"<Love ya mom, going out somewhere. I'll be back soon, so don't worry.>"I wrote on some of my desk paper, and left it on my desk. I looked for my Moped, and soon locked the doors. Mom knew where the hide-a-key was,so it was ok.

First I went to the convience store, and bough enough junk food to last me a millenia. I paid for it, and went off onto the Tokyodome, which was a semi-long Moped ride away.

And he'll be back when I get to post again.

Sorry for the double posty.

"Gotta..get...there.."I whispered over and over, putting the metal to the Moped's Pedal, trying to get to the TokyoDome as fast as I can. And I didn't wanna take the train, I would get there before the train would arrive. And I don't support Tokyo's Public Transportation system.^^

"<Damn it,>"I cursed, as my moped started to loose gas. I looked around frantically for somewhere that I could refill, and It was about a block away. I walked quietly, getting few stares from people.I just ignored them, and got to the Gas station. I refilled on gas(yes, his Moped does take gas.And if you think it's a Vespa, it isn't.x.x), paid, and found myself on the side street's of Tokyo. It was suprisingly not busy, and I was able to get to the front gate of the dome.

Good thing I could fold it up, so I did. I took my moped in, and showed them my little tag from the Convention. I soon found myself on the ground level of the area, some remnant's of the Covention still here.My eyes wondered around the room, looking for the room.

SLASH!I slashed my employee card(Gahh...^^) on the security pad, and it soon opened the door.I looked around, it looked like a normal boiler room. It couldn't be a portal to the digital world, right?I made sure I held onto my Junkfood I bought(Pocky!!),and walked around, closing the door behind me. I looked at the ground, scorch marks. I looked around some more, and found something of Aoi's.

"Her Favorite Scrunchie?"She never placed it around her wrist, but on her Napsack, it laid in it's front pocket. I walked over, and grabbed it. It suddenly burst with light..

'You came early, but all is well.'Orphanimon appered from the light as I dropped the scrunchie,'You want to go back?You want to leave the life you love for now and go back to the one in the Digital World.'

"Yes..."I said,looking down. She walked to me, and I felt her hands on my cheek. She smiled, and looked in my eyes. I felt a surge of warmth in my body, and soon...well...I only had my boxers on(He's going into the clothing he had on in the DW). I still held my Moped and the junkfood.

And I felt my body floating. I soon found myself, and Orphanimon, in a space like picture, with 2 worlds together.
'Choose your world, Wind.Choose it carefully.'Orphanimon said.I looked, and the worlds were identical in apperance. I went towards the one on the right, I felt that was the right choice.

Then,A Surge of coldness, and I found myself in the clothing I had on in the Digital World.Except for my glasses.My hair no longer was supported by gell, and it fell around my eyes, and it looked like it was washed.I looked at her, and she nodded her head. I soon felt weak, and closed my eyes.

Reopening them, I was in the same Boiler room I was in before. I had my Digital world change of clothing, and my stuff from the real world.I saw the scrunchie that brought me here, and grabbed it. Nothing happened. I decided Aoi needed to go back...I didn't want her here.

"I heard sounds coming from that room over there!"I heard a female voice yell, coming towards the door.

"Labramon!"I yelled, skidding on the ice below. I made it to Labramon, who was moaning and groaning. I looked at er with concern. I had changed before, into my Red longsleeve and Black dress pants. No longer in the kimono..

"How did you..digivolve..?"I asked myself, Yami Aoi took my D-Sense. Labramon moved her paw slightly, and turned it upside. She had my D-Sense. I grabbed it, and patted Labramon's head."Don't move. I'm gonna take us into somewhere,"

I lifted Labramon, and stood up on the ice. Labramon's eyes glew,and the ice beneath me melted, along with a path to a house. She smiled, and closed her eyes. I placed her over my shoulder, behind the chaos going in the background.I walked on the path, and noted Laura.

"Come on Laura!Let's go hide."I yelled. She nodded, and slipped on the ice, coming to the path. Once on the path, we both quickly walked away from the chaos behind us.I was injured, some scrape's on the elbow's, but nothing big. We soon made it into the house..Laura sat down on a chair, and I placed Labramon On the bed. She quickly regained strength, and she started to sniff the air..

"Someone's here.."She said. She still was injured, but she wanted to walk.She walked towards a door in the back, like where a closet would be.She started to place her head against it..

"Someone's in there!"She yelled, and I looked at her, in unison with the shooken up Laura.We both walked to the door. I opened it, and found A Boy.

A Boy of the height of 5 foot 5. His hair, messy. He held a moped and some food in his hands. Satoshi-kun.I almost yelled in glee, and Laura looked in shock. He walked up the stairs, it was like a basement. He held something else in his hand, though I was unable to identify it. He smiled as he made it through the door way, and looked at me..

"I'll be seeing you. Don't worry,this is for the best."He said, and grabbed my hand. He placed something made of fabric in it, and stared me in the eyes, through his messy hair.He then clutched my hand and Labramon's I felt my body getting lighter,and he looked at me...

"Sayonara."He said, kissing my lightly on the cheek. I touched it, but I soon felt my body no longer on ground. I was on the floor of the Boiler room with Labramon...and the item Satoshi gave me glew..

With a marvelous red light.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"C'mon Laura lets go hide" Aoi said taking me by the hand, I looked at Kari for a minute as I was jerked along, Kari had been through so much and she needed a friend right now.

"Kari c'mon" I finally said holding out my outstretched fingers, she finally grabbed on to my hand, causing me to stumble and slip on the ice, I finally gained my footing and followed Aoi to a house, which I guess was the place we were going to hide.

"I got some things to do I'll be right back" Kari said before running off to one of the rooms in the house while I sank into the chair. A few minutes later Aoi walked to a door in the back of the house and I followed her. "Someone's in there" We both said and opened the door.

Satoshi? He was back, but that couldnt be real, becuase, becuase my hands were empty, they werent supposed to be empty. Something was supposed to be there but I couldnt remember what, what was it?

"Laura?" Satoshi asked touching my chin and tilting my head up, his glasses dropped over my nose he bent over a little bit and touched the glasses. "You look really cute wearing my old glasses" He commented slipping them off my face and laying them on the ground.

I blushed and looked into his eyes, he was back he really was back! "Satoshi I.." I began, my eyes filled with tears he took both of his thumbs and wiped away the tears building in my eyes. I began to say something but he leaned in, tilted his head a little, and kissed me. I felt my body lighten at the touch of his lips upon mine, my shoulders sank, and my knees almost gave way. Almost as if he was reading my thoughts he reached a arm around my back to support me. To match his arm I reached up with my own and ran my own hand through his hair, down his neck, and grabbed on to the back of his shirt, this caused him to kiss me harder and do something different I believe it was called french kissing, it was unique, and wierd at first, but most important it felt great.

"Best welcoming back I ever had" Satoshi wispered after he broke from our kiss, I just stood there looking at him, when I felt a cough rising in my throat, I looked away and coughed over and over again, eventually coughing so hard I started making gagging sounds, I coughed to the point where I finally coughed up blood which just sat there swishing around in my mouth, it felt so discusting. I couldnt let Satoshi know I was sick, he would worry about me, I swallowed it back down and winced from the aweful taste as it slid down my throat. "Laura are you okay?" Satoshi asked placing a hand on my back I hadnt even noticed that I had doubled over from all the coughing, I wiped some blood that had dribbled out of my mouth and onto my chin, nodded and stood up.

"It's nothing, I'm just really glad to see you" I lied, my stomach felt like dead weight while at the same time it felt like it was being twisted into millions of knots. "Satoshi, I need to tell you about something that happened between..me and David" I sighed.

~`~`Kari [Bored to death o.O]`~`~

I had wandered off to a building that said HOTEL on it, and I had gone in and rented a room. It was as I liked it, spacious, slightly furnished, and, best of all, was black and had blackout curtains.

I lay down on the bed, and, pulling off my jeans so I was just in the over-large black T-shirt I wore, I crawled under the covers for a nap.

OoC: Yami Kari is with Laura and Aoi and Satoshi; I'll post for her later.

["And you don't seem to understand//A shame you seemed an honest man//And all the fears you hold so dear//
Will turn to whisper in your ear//And you know what they say might hurt you//And you know that it means so much//
And you don't even feel a thing...." ~from "Duvet"(Serial Experiments Lain opening)]

I sighed faithlessly, without a single answer from Jun...it seems as if what I thought was true...He was ignoring me...but why? it's a shame I believed he was honest, but all I could do is walk away....and find somewhere to mope with nobody to disturb me...but where? How can I try to find somebody to talk to? Or is it that...I was alone all along? From the start? Before all of this coming into the Digital World? Hopefully this was a dream....but my scar was starting to numben up, before I could think about it. I gazed around, hoepfully finding away to get my mind off this.

I walked back to the old tree with rainbow leaves, my sandals slightly sliding on a root which peered out from the ground. There was nothing to do now but wait here...wait until morning came and abandoned this festival. The wind picked up slightly, the sound of a bamboo flute on its own carried out through the wind, its pure serene soprano voice carrying on without stopping. But the tune sounded somewhat eerie...as if I heard it from somewhere before...but where? My mind passed through, as if I heard it from one of the many .hack// video games...but it suddenly stopped.

"What was that...?" Arwen asked, slightly confused as she cocked her head.

"I don't know..." I told her, somewhat feelingas if a prescence was behind me...but not just one....two. I whistled quietly, the tune was the music for the .hack// video games, the music played in the castle dungeons. I stepped back off the root, before turning around, the prescence fading from my mind, but I wondered what it was....or was I just being paranoid? I could tell it wasn't sheer paranoia, because if it was...I would fall into a nervous breakdown. But I swear it wasn't, which left me confused. Shaking my head, I walked away from the tree, feeling a long feeling of fatigue...but speaking of prescences...where was my Yami? Sighing, I walked alone through the crowd, feeling as if I was the loneliest human threre...I bet Kouji was having a good time...and the others, especially Jun, I bet he found something to do. I continued whistling, before twirling around one last time, and continued on my path away from here...to my hotel room to get my bags and go on an independant journey...

<->*<->Yami Laura Rider<->*<->

I shrugged, wondering why the hell Laura refused to give up her D-Sense...did she understand what part of 'I needed it' I didn't know? Ah well...that pathetic little b*tch, I was much better than her. I stared at the baggy clothes of my...Peh, how pathetic, I didn't deserve these, I needed them tighter...but what choice did I have? I guess it would've been fun to make her look like a whore in front of every other Chosen Child, but I couldn't. I regretted coming out if it meant wearing these....God, why couldn't it have been somebody else?

Glaring, I looked at my counterpart, somewhat mopey with 'Arwen' on her shoulder, as if she was walking back to the hotel. Sipping my glass of green tea, I fastened my glasses which mocked hers onto my nose, before throwing away the clay cup and walking through....thinking about my first victim.

First off...I guess I'll take on Kouji...but where is the little bastard? I asked myself, my eyes glancing to and fro, before I spotted him, looking as if he hadn't a care in the world...Smirking, I started to compose my first plan...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The dust had settled and our group had been separated once again. I couldn’t blame Laura for being afraid of Rigiamon. Not only had his latest form been far from cute and cuddly, for the first time he had displayed anger, and one of the most viscous forms of it… Revenge against another. It had unsettled me to say the least, and had given me guilty thoughts to boot… If I hadn’t been so close to the battle, Capri-Rollingmon might not have chosen me to attack…

I shook my head a bit, Auny and Jun close by still, Rigiamon standing off to the side. If Rigiamon hadn’t gotten angry, then he might not have been able to digivolve to save us.. Whatever the case would be, I couldn’t blame Rigiamon for what had happened. He had saved us and he was clearly feeling remorse for what had happened. It just made me curious as to what exactly the Lunars had done to him while he had been in their service… What acts they had made him go through with.

“You,” Rigiamon’s voice echoed out coldly from his position. Both Auny and I looked up in surprise to see the gray digimon looking at Jun. Emotion had seeped into his voice once again, one matching the battle from before. Auny made a move to step in, but I held her back. Something in Rigiamon’s stance made me want to wait a moment, but not due to fear…

“I don’t have any patience for the likes of you now,” Rigiamon continued, as he paced towards Jun. A light aura overcame from his body, as the grass beneath his feet burst into digitized pieces. Jun stepped back, fear entering into his stance.

“What are you talking about? Have you crossed your wires or something?” he said at a rapid pace.

“You are another one of those copies. Now that I’m not busy tearing up your fake digimon partners, I can see you clearly for who you are. I suggest you leave now before I decide to know what your screams sound like,” Rigiamon ended, a predatory smile on his face. Two of his hands slapped the shoulders of the unmasked copy, glowing briefly as it shot back a look of anger. Without a word, the copy disappeared before our eyes like a shadow.

All emotion dropped from Rigiamon’s face, stance, and emotion after that. He turned to give me a tired smile. “Enjoy my performance, Kenichi?”

“You’re completely in control of your emotions now?” I asked, Auny sticking to my side watching our conversation.

“Yes, I have been since I de-digivolved back to this form…” He paused for a moment. “The surge of emotion was due to a sub-routine program imbedded into me. It had never activated before… Probably due to my usual lack of any emotion… When my care for you came up, and the danger to your life and the others, it took that emotion and changed it into raw anger for energy. I have the said sub-routine completely under my control, there isn’t a danger of it going off without my permission again.”

I nodded. “So, what was that performance about?”

“I needed to him to think I was still ruled by anger. It allowed me time to construct a thin tracking program from the data I gathered from the grass. It’s embedded into his shoulders now, and should allow us to track him to an extent… Where one copy can be found, many others can be as well. If I made it correctly, I can probably modify a D-Sense to track them.”

A smile crossed my face, as I went over to pat Rigiamon’s back. “Well, I appreciated what you did back there, I know you only wanted to help us.”

Rigiamon nodded, “Yes, I suppose that’s right…” He looked sharply towards where Laura and the others had gone. “I’m detecting another human where the others went… Satoshi is back.”

Looking at Rigiamon, I looked to Auny. Holding her arm, we began to make our way towards the new arrival…

[Roy Karrde]

Allright since I am going to be gone for most of the day tomarrow * Yu Gi Oh Mall Tour * I decided to go on and post this, everything that happens here has been planned out for the past few weeks.

Laura Lutz
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“Well, go on” Satoshi edged me on, all the blood drained out of my face, my body became shaky and Satoshi used his arms to steady me. “Laura, you’re sick, you need to lay down” He suggested I just shook my head, I couldn’t keep this inside any more.

“See when you left, I, I was in shock, I wanted to die, I thought I would never see you again, I got so depressed I almost killed myself, David he comforted me, he…kissed me” I slid down into a chair and tried to keep myself from shaking, my stomach kept twisting in knots over and over again. Satoshi just stood there, and then he began pacing back and forth around the room. “Satoshi it was a accident it really was” I explained from my seat.

“I..I..just” He stammered out as he continued walking, I just followed him with my eyes as he walked back and forth in front of me. Satoshi began to say something else, when everyone seemed to just barge into the room, I sank back down into the chair while Kenichi and Satoshi shook hands and did their macho hand shake stuff.

"Satoshi may be we should go find the other Laura, and Kari is around here...somewhere" I said Satoshi was so busy talking to Kenichi so I just slunk back down in my chair, out of sight, out of the way.

“Are you okay?” Rigiamon asked walking up to me, I looked up at him from my seat, I never noticed that he was so tall, I nodded and he leaned forward. “Look, I know your scared of me but…Laura there’s something wrong with you” Rigiamon said coldly, I froze in fear, he knew, he knew I was sick.

“Here I’m going to clear this block in your memory, it was created by a dark influence” Rigiamon said placing a hand on my face, suddenly I felt very sleepy everything went dark and my head drooped down on the chair like a dead weight. When I awoke everything was jumbled, I knew where I was, I knew who everyone else was, but at the same time I didn’t know who any one was, was I this Rigiamon or this Laura, no wait I was Laura, but I had memories of Rigiamon.

“I’ll…be right back” I said quickly and ran for the bathroom, as quickly as I could I slammed the door, lifted the toilet lid, stuck my head over the bowl and puked, over and over again, my knees grew weak and I slipped down to my knees and looked at the bloody mess floating around in the toilet. I just kept looking at it, and looking at it, then I started to cry, what was happening to me? Why was I sick? I wiped my chin with my arm and started to open the door, I cracked it open, heard talking, and decided to just wait there and listen.

“It’s a rip or like a ulcer, it would be no problem, but with the speed of the Digital world on her body, best you can do is make her as comfortable as possible..” Rigiamon said, the sound of some one sniffling followed I looked over and I could bearly see Satoshi, he was all puffy eyed and looked like he was crying, Auny just seemed to be holding herself, and Kenichi was looking away.

“How long does she have, I mean could you fix it?” Satoshi asked his voice was cracked as if his throat was dry or something.

“I could try putting her in stasis, but it may just quicken it, as for how long it could be days, maybe weeks, she’ll just fall asleep one night, and wont wake up” Rigiamon said, he was talking about me, that’s why I was throwing up, that’s why I kept coughing, I shut the door, slid down it into a sitting position, placed my head in my hands and my hands on my legs and just cried.

“I could try putting her in stasis, but it may just quicken it, as for how long it could be days, maybe weeks, she’ll just fall asleep one night, and wont wake up”Rigiamon replied to my question as I moved my head towards the bathroom-where I heard Laura, puking..and crying.I looked at him concerned, I felt my eyes swell with tears. And won't wake up. Repeated in my mind.I looked around, Auny-holding herself, and Kenichi-who was looking away.

"Is there anyway..we..can.."I said, and utterly collasped, the old glasses Laura broght falling ever-so-gently to the ground. My hair flew wild as I tried to contain my tears...Laura...could...die..I tried to imagine it...and cried even a heavier river of tears.


I imagined a cold,rainy day. I had 2 roses in my hand, a white one and a red, both being held by shaking hands of disbelief.I looked down, and a tombstone read-

"Laura-A Beloved Friend, An Innocent Child..R.I.P"It said,and the rain grew heaver with my river of tears growing. I Fell to my knees, and hugged the stone. She...wasn't dead...I kept repeating the line in my head,like trying to remember lines for a school play.



"Dry up, Satoshi. She isn't dead yet. And stop hugging the air."I heard a stern female voice above me, it snapped me to reality.I looked, and found a small puddle of tears besides me. I was on my knees, hugging the air. I stopped crying, and looked up to search for the voice.Haruka. She had a frown on her face.

"But..."I stammered, and she kicked me lightly in the back.
"She's still here, Satoshi.Enjoy every bit of it."She said, and she was right..
"I can't stop crying knowing she can die, Haruka."I said, rubbing my back. My fountain of tears dried up, leaving tear stained cheeks and a puddle below me. I stood up,with out my glasses, looked to the blur.

"Satoshi, don't worry.She won't die,"Haruka endowed.I looked at her, and plastered a fake smile on the wet face.

'Laura..please..when you sleep that sleep.'

'Wake up for me.'


"With you--you who were right at my side/Are no longer here/With you--I promised you that I wouldn't change/Ever,if we are apart,but../If we were to become memories/Even memories cannot contend with the warmth at your side/So a wistful sigh unerringly welled forth/May it take flight and go so forth it reaches you."Is the translation to the quote I posted. I will also post the MP3 soon.

I will also post as Haruka later on Saturday^^

“…She’ll fall asleep one night, and won’t wake up.” Rigiamon had said. Please, let him be lying. He went evil in the battle, maybe he was still. He was lying from the start. Oh, I wanted to hurt him so badly. I wanted to hurt something... to kill something, even. All this rage and hate built up inside of me and a dug my fingernails into my arms. To have that certainty in his voice, to tell us all Laura was dying... I wanted to know it was a lie... I wanted... I...

I...

I...

I...

I was so blind...

I should have seen it. More than anything, I should have prevented this entire thing, somehow. Stopping her from going to the Human world, something…

My eyes were filled with tears, but I couldn’t see anything, not even colors or vague shapes. My little friend, my first friend… I told her I would not let anything from the outside hurt her, I had promised her. And here she was, dying…

Maybe… Maybe… if I could just… stop her from sleeping? Then she wouldn’t have a chance not to wake up? Would that work? Would that make everything… okay?

I held my head down, and let my hair cover my face. I tried to calm down, but instead, a tear fell down my cheek. The world around me seemed to drift away, and I was caught in forever. It was just me, and Laura, and my tears.

Me and my dearest friend…

“She isn’t dead yet.” Haruka’s voice entered my thoughts. The words weren’t meant for me, but for the first time since I met the girl, she was right. She wasn’t dead yet. No, I wouldn’t use the word “yet”. She wasn’t dead.

I wasn’t going to let her die… She wasn’t going to, not under my watch. Nothing from the outside would hurt her anymore. I would make sure of it. By the time she would get out of the Digital World, she would be smiling. She would be with us, as lively as a ten year old should be.

Stop crying, Aunyailia… I told myself. She needs Aunie right now, the optimist. She needs Aunie to convince her everything will be okay. To make her smile.

I tried to smile, but it caved in on myself again, and another wave of tears started to come. The fell more rapidly down my cheeks, and nothing seemed to stop them. It felt like nothing could. Like nothing ever would...

No, no more tears. Tout sera bien.

Tout sera bien… Right?

I swallowed down my tears, and sniffled a few times.

Tout sera bien.



"Tout sera bien" means, as translated by Altavista's Babelfish, "All/Everything [Tout] will be [sera] well [bien]". Although, I'm a little iffy on the translation.. but that's what I meant it as. Oh well. Please forgive my error if it is wrong.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He was wrong, he had to be wrong. Rigiamon was evil right? No he wasnt he was fine he knew the truth, he knew I would die soon. I wasnt that afread, I wasnt...I was so afread, I mean if I did die, I would see daddy right? but I would leave Satoshi, I didnt want to leave Satoshi, ever.

"Some one needs to go check on her" Some one said from the other side of the door, I didnt want to see them, they would pitty me, or act all nice around me. I got up and ran for the window, almost slipping on my own blood that was all over the floor, I could hear the door begin to open as I dropped out of the window and ran off into the early morning light.

"Laura" Kari yelled out from behind me, I spun around to see her walking up infront of me from the side of the house. "Wait up" She yelled out.

"I-I cant talk right now" I said almost in a crying fit. "I need to get away, just to get away from everyone" I added almost shaking, Kari just stood there, I ran off yelling that I was sorry before I was out of hearing range.

"Laura" Someone's voice called out to me, it was the older Laura, I hadnt realized that I had wondered so far after exploding at Kari, what I said to her when she was trying to help, it was wrong, and I should appologise to her as quickly as possible, I wasnt going to make the same mistake twice. "Wow what happened to you, you look like crap" She comminted, I tried to smile and began to fall in step with her. It was nice being with some one who didnt know I was dieing.

"I cant believe I actually destroyed this place once" I said watching the sunrise over the houses. The older Laura stopped for a second and I realized what I just said, my memories they were so jumbled. "I'm sorry Rigiamon did something to me to unlock a memory it kindof messed my memory up a bit" I quickly said, The older Laura nodded and we just kept on walking.

"Laura, if you wouldnt mind, if anyone else asks if you've seen me, could you tell them you havnt?" I asked her.

"Why..need some alone time huh?" The older Laura asked, I nodded slightly.

"But not right now, right now it's nice to just be around some one who doesnt treat me as if I would kill over any minute" I said and forced out the first smile in a long time.

Doctor Cigil.
---------------------------------
"Ma'am I'm sorry to have to bother you but there is a problem that you and your son should know about" I said, I had called Akira's cell phone, becuase no one at the house was picking up. "On Laura, one of the nurces noticed some abnormal spots and swelling on her stomach, we believe she may be bleeding internaly, the problem is the blood seems to just be passing through her stomach lineing, were going to go in and try to slow it down, but we need a signature from a legal guardian or something"

There was no reply on the other line and I was worried that the call had been dropped. "I'll..be right over" She finally replied and hung up the phone. I layed the phone back down and rubbed my forehead infront of me I could see the nurcing staff starting on their preparations for bringing the little girl into surgery. I had a bad feeling, that she would be the first one out of the kids to finally die, and mostlikely she wouldnt be the last.

"I believe at the moment, we should try and keep her physical activities and stress at a minimum," Rigiamon continued, as Satoshi picked himself up with the newly arrived Haruka at his side. While Rigiamon looked passive, I could tell he was concerned over this. As was I, and the effects that it would have on everyone... Auny had already checked on

"In the meantime," Rigiamon said. "I can create copies of her to experiment on, to try and find a way to halt this before it gets any worse... It'll be a way to test new programs without having her be in danger. It would be even more useful if we could capture the 'Yami' Laura so I can extract her data."

Auny bounded back into the room from the bathroom. "Laura is gone!"

People got up from where they were standing, while Rigiamon just lifted his head, seemingly sniffing the air. I took this as an action to mask whenever he was reading data.

"Don't worry, she's with the older Laura at the moment. They're alright."

Satoshi made a move to leave, tears still staining his face. Auny looked concerned about what had happened, and I moved in to her side. "Don't worry, we'll get this sorted out... She should be ok for the moment..."

Auny nodded absentmindedly, as I felt a growing weight in my right pocket. Putting my hand there, I felt Satoshi's D-Sense, possibly reacting to the closeness of its owner. Satoshi... I had to ask him.

Whispering to Auny that I was going to make sure Satoshi was alright, I followed him out of the room and to the outside beyond. No longer was everything drenched in darkness, everything looked slightly better in the new day's sun... That is, besides the battlefield. Satoshi was looking on dully at the scene himself, a saddened look on his face.

"Hey there Satoshi," I said, moving to his side, looking forwards. He gave me a somewhat startled look, then gave me a half hearted smile.

"Hey... Kenichi..."

"Some punk took this off you before you left, I've been holding onto it for you," I said, as I handed it to him.

"Thanks Kenichi... You didn't have to..." He said quietly, looking at it in his hands.

I raised an eyebrow, then sighed. I turned to him, to look him fully in the face. "I need to know something about us Satoshi..."

He gave me a look of surprise, and one of reservation...

"When I faced the copy that had your D-Sense, he told me that we were... brothers. I want you to tell me... Am I really your brother?"

"When I faced the copy that had your D-Sense, he told me that we were... brothers. I want you to tell me... Am I really your brother?"Kenichi asked me, and I basically gave him a long,dry stare. I bit my lip, trying to think what I was going to answer. I promised I wouldn't tell anyone, or Hawkmon would get his behind kicked by Rigiamon.

"Uhh...well.."I tried to hold off as long as I could,waiting for something to come so I could skip answering this question.

"Come on,"Kenichi asked, impatiently. I looked at him, with a serious face.
"The weathers nice..."I muttered.
"I guess.."He said, looking at the sky for a second. He then looked back at me, and glared."Tell me."
"Fine.."I sighed in defeat."It all happened when we were born."

"You were the first one out, so I suppose your the oldest.But you were weak,very sick.The doctors gave a bare chance of you surviving, and one brought up allowing the government to take care of you."I continued,"My mom it was for the best, and signed you over. A second later, I was born, and you were with the state. My mom only got the time to name you."

"So I guess the fake me squeled the secret out."I finished, with a big sigh, like a weight was taken off my shoulders.

He looked shocked,suprised at the least. His face showed that he was thinking, of what--I don't know.And I was suprised that he was shocked at all.

"Hawkmon told me in Las Mesa, I haven't known for long."I said, breaking a eerie silence.
"So...How are they like?"He asked. I looked at him, and gave a Smile.
"Mom,Akira, like's to joke around a lot..But she's very careing. She's almost due for another baby.Dad,Satoru, is always away on business.But when he's around, he's very nice--Unless you get him angry."I told him.."Oh..come with me for a sec."

"Ok."He said, a little cheer in his voice. I started to walk towards the house me and Laura shared, for my Backpack.We got there in no time, and I opened the door.
"Like we left it."I said, sighing. I looked near the bed, and found my backpack. I looked inside, and found something that almost brought me in tears.

It was a glass dove that was familiar.It's wing was broken, fixed with crazy amounts of glue. I looked on it, and found a engraving...
"Satoshi and Laura."It read. I held it close to my chest. Kenichi looked at me like I had 6 heads. I quickly placed it aside, and kept searching for what I was looking for.

"Ahh...there."I said,I found it. It was a picture Laura brought back, with My mom, 8 months pregnaut..and my Dad. I was in the middle of them, in my black school uniform.I handed it over to him, as he gazed in wonderment.In the background was our home.

And I saw a little tear escape from Kenichi's left eye.

[Gladiator]

Technical difficulties, sorry for my lack of posts. If you'd put me up to speed on what happened, I'll post for David.

Morrigan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morrigan walked aimlessly through the temple, seething with anger.

"Stupid Doppleganger David," she muttered, "What does he think he's doing. Oughta kick his butt"

Though she did not know where she was, something seemed to direct her through the endless maze of corridors. Even though, she knew the way she was going was correct, her patience was wearing thin.

"How long will this take," she said looking around her.

The corridors were about twice her size and equal in width. Somehow, the obsidian color of the walls seemed almost fresh and natural. Passing her hand over the surface, she took note of its almost smooth texture.

Somehow, the temple unnerved her, but, at the same time, she felt she belonged here.

"Hmm, I wonder what Digimon I'll receive."
