Tai
Hey everyone! This is the 10th book in the series! Amazingly that Alie and Christina are working together to do their series. Be sure to have read the Rescue in order to know what’s going on.
Matt and I sat back and watched the 6 kids set up their tents. We were invisible so they won’t be able to see us.
‘Christina has a very interesting past.’ I heard Matt thought.
‘Same here.’ I thought.
“We’re done!” Jake shouted.
“Good, I was getting bored staring at the fire.” Katie shouted back. They laughed.
“Katie complains about almost anything.” John explained. Katie sent a glare at her brother, which made him only laugh.
“Stop it John.” She growled at him.
“Let’s settle down here.” Amanda said.
“She has a point you know.” Brian said, walking toward the siblings.
Christina rolled her eyes and lay back down, staring at the stars. She pointed to each one, trying to figure out what constellation it was. She looked like she was 13 or 14.
“What’s wrong Christina?” Jake asked, lying down beside her.
“Nothing, I’m just trying to figure out what constellation is what.” She responded back.
“Well, I see the Big Dipper, the Little Dipper, and I see the North Star.” Jake said.
“Come on you 2, dinner’s ready.” Amanda shouted to them. Jake just smiled.
“We better get there otherwise they’ll eat our dinner.” He said, helping his cousin up and they together walked back to the campsite.
‘We should go back to our timeline for awhile.’ I thought to Matt.
‘You’re right.’
We got out of that timeline and landed in our sleeping bags. Alie and Christina both woke up.
“What time is it?” Alie asked sleepily, checking her watch.
“Midnight.” Christina said.
“Christina, can we talk to you about something?” Matt asked.
“Sure, what is it?” She said, looking Matt in the eye.
“Well, do you have a cousin named Jake?”
“Yes I do, why?”
“Well, I was just wondering if he’s a digidestined.”
“He is a digidestined, why did you ask me that Matt?”
“Well, we back into your past for a while and saw how you became a digidestined.”
“I should’ve known you were going to do that.” Alie said
“Is there something that we don’t know about your group?” I asked.
“Well…”
“Alie, how come I didn’t see you with them?” I asked.
“I didn’t start out in their group, I started out in your group.” Alie said.
“How come we never saw you?” Matt asked.
“I was invisible every time I got close to you guys.”
“Oh.”
Christina was still thinking of what she should say. I think I asked a question that seemed to get her thinking hard about.
“Well, my group was very special. We each had our own powers assigned to us but one time we were separated from each other. I thought they were killed until they called me and told me they were okay.” Christina said.
“Any thing else?”
“We were called the Legendary Digidestined. A new prophecy came out last night and it said that the Legendary Digidestined will turn to stone and only the original digidestined could only break the spell. Once the spell is broken, the Legendary Digidestined will retrieve their old powers and defeat the Digimon that turned them into stone.” Christina explained.
I looked over at Alie worried I wondered if she was a Legendary Digidestined also. She looked over at me and nodded her head apparently she heard what I was thinking.
“We should all get some sleep we’ll need our energy for tomorrow.” Alie said, and she lay down and drifted off to sleep.
“What happened to Alie when she became a digidestined.” I said.
“Lets find out shall we.” Matt said, Christina agreed to go with us.
When we landed we landed on a familiar island that was on a lake. Looking around I saw all of us when we had first arrived in the digital world.
‘Hey there’s Alie.’ Christina thought.
‘Where?’ I asked.
‘Over there by the younger you.’
Looking over I saw a younger Alie standing next to the younger me throwing rocks in the lake. I saw the younger me look right at her and say nothing. I walked closer to Alie and saw that she had tears in her eyes. That’s when I remembered what she had said that when she got near one of us she would turn invisible.
‘Man she was all alone the only one that knew she was there was Gatomon and the other digimon she met.’ Matt thought.
We watched as Seadramon came out of the water and fire a blast at her that shot her away from the group. That’s when once again we were transported to a later time.
‘Hey there’s Gennai and Leomon.’ I thought.
“Ah so you’re awake we were wondering when you would wake up.” Gennai said.
“Who are you?” we heard Alie ask.
“I’m Gennai and this is my good friend Leomon.” He said.
“Where are my friends?” she asked.
“You and your friends were attacked by Seadramon and he had hit you causing you to land right in that lake next to my home apparently you had enough strength to at least swim to shore.”
“Azulongmon said that we are supposed to teach you the secrets of our world.” Leomon said.
Once again we were transported to a little while later.
“Gennai the other group of children are coming.” Leomon said.
“What other group?” Alie asked, she was now wearing a silver cloak over her clothes.
“The second group of digidestined.” Gennai said, “You are to join them my dear only till you find your other friends again.”
“I understand I will miss you both.” She said hugging them both.
“And we will miss you.” Gennai said. “You must go now.”
“I promise I will come again to see you.” She shouted.
We followed her as she was running we were talking, ‘No wonder she knows so much about the digital world.’ Christina thought.
‘Yah she had Leomon, Gennai and Azulongmon teach her.’ Matt thought.
‘Guys she’s stopped.’ I thought.
We watched as she looked through the bushes and saw the other 6 kids. “Brian?” we heard her say.
“Hey guys I thought I heard something.” Katie said.
“Who’s there?” Brain asked.
We watched as Alie stood up and walked out of the bushes, we followed her.
“Brain is that you?” she asked him.
“Yah who are you?” he asked.
“It’s me Alie your cousin.” She said.
“Alie it is you.”
We watched as Alie ran toward her cousin and hug him closely.
“It’s good to see you Brian.” Alie said and she turned to the others.
“I haven’t seen you ever since camp sign ups.” Christina said as she hugged Alie.
“So you’re a digidestined?” Jake asked after Alie was done hugging everyone.
“Yah, isn’t it great?” She said.
Christina looked at the ground and put her hand an inch off the ground. They all stared as a red rose appeared under her hand. Then Gennai appeared.
“Hello Legendary Digidestined. It seems that Christina is the first in the group to find her powers besides Alie.” Gennai said.
“So I control nature?” Christina asked, holding the red rose.
“Yes and your element is Lightning.”
Christina looked at her cloak and saw the lightning bolt embroidered on it.
“You also can sense if something is going to happen. Maybe I can teach you how to use your powers.” Gennai said. “Now, I’m going to have Leomon be the target and I want you to concentrate on Leomon as he is attacking you.”
Leomon came and ran toward Christina but a stream of vines grabbing him stopped him.
“Good work Christina. You mastered the control of your power but you better be careful when you use them.” Gennai said. Christina nodded her head and stepped out of the way to reveal Jake.
“Ah Jake, the one that can use psychic powers. You can bend things with your mind, stop the attacker from attacking you, and so on.”
We watched as Gennai trained each of the digidestined after another. We were sent back to our timeline and Christina fell on her sleeping bag perfectly while Matt and I landed a little off. Christina laughed and went over to us.
“You know what? Next time don’t put your sleeping bags by the lake.” She said as we came out of the lake-soaking wet.
“Wasn’t our fault.” Matt said, shaking his hair dry, accidentally spraying Christina. She pushed Matt back in the lake once again.
“Hey!” he shouted.
“You deserved that.”
“No I didn’t!” Matt said as he pulled her into the lake.
I went over to Alie and pulled her out of her sleeping bag and carried her over to the lake. I threw her in; the cold water woke her up.
“Tai!!” She yelled. I smiled and laughed.
Alie pulled on my ankles, making me fall into the lake. Matt and Christina were splashing each other and I dunked Alie underwater. Matt did the same to Christina. As they surfaced, they dunked us underwater. We had a fun time just picking on each other until we got cold.
“Boy that was fun.” I said, drying myself off. Matt was lying down in his sleeping bag but I couldn’t see Alie or Christina anywhere.
“Hey Matt, did you see where the girls went to?” I asked him. He shook his head.
“We were changing into warm, dry clothes.” Alie said, coming out in my sweatshirt.
Christina came out in her cloak she wore when she was younger.
“Uh Alie, why are you wearing my sweatshirt?”
“Oops, I thought it was mine.” Alie said, grabbing her own sweatshirt and changed into it.
“Christina? Alie?” came a voice from far away.
“Brian?” Alie asked.
“Yep, it’s me.”
Brian defiantly didn’t look a thing like he did in the past. He was probably the same age as Alie. He wore his white cloak and had his sword next to him.
“Good to see you again, cuz.” Alie said, hugging Brian.
“Who are these guys?” Brian asked her.
“My name is Tai Kamiya.”
“My name is Matt Ishida.”
“I’ve heard of you. You were the ones Alie keeps on talking about when I call her.” Brian said, shaking our hands.
“Of course you know me.” Christina said.
“How could I forget you? Oh yeah, Jake and the others are coming soon.”
“Neat! The whole team will be together.” Christina said. “Like the old times.”
“Yeah, I missed being with the team.” Brian said.
Soon enough, the original digidestined woke up and saw Brian standing next to us.
“Guys, this is Brian, my cousin.” Alie explained.
“I heard a lot about you.” Brian said, bowing.
“Brian, you’ve gone nuts.” Alie said. Brian just smiled.
“Christina?”
“Jake? Is that you I hear?”
“Yep and is it you I hear?”
“Of course, who else might it be?”
Jake and the other Legendary Digidestined came over the hill where the sun was rising. Jake gave Christina a big hug and a tackle.
“Jake, please get off me!” Christina said as Jake laughed.
“No way, you’re going to have to make me.” Jake said.
“Okay, you’ve asked for it!” Christina tried to push him off but no luck. “Hey, no fair! You’re using your powers!”
“I didn’t know there was a law preventing us from using our powers.” Jake taunted.
“All right, then I’ll get you off of Christina for her.” Alie said. She levitated him over the lake and dropped him in.
“Hey! This water is freezing! What did you do, send a Fidgimon in here?” Jake shouted.
“One thing’s for sure, you haven’t changed a single bit.” Alie said.
“Or at least my humor hasn’t changed.” Jake answered back.
“Don’t even think of levitating me in there Jake. I just got out.”
“Oh yeah, then how come you’re not wet?”
“I changed my clothes stupid.”
“One thing’s for sure, those 2 always fight.” John said.
“Yeah, you should’ve seen them when we first came, they never agreed with each other.” Katie said.
“Don’t push it Katie.” Christina warned. “Alie has gotten much stronger than you saw her in the beginning.”
“She’s right and also Jake and I remind me of two other people that use to fight like us.” Alie said.
“Who?” I asked her.
“You and Matt.”
The Legendary Digidestined introduced themselves to the original digidestined and the original digidestined introduced themselves to the Legendary Digidestined. The ground beneath us shook violently, sending us to the ground.
“What’s happening?” Sora asked.
“Something bad is going to happen.” Christina said.
Seadragomon rose from the ground, getting glares from all of us.
“I’m back!” He shouted out gleefully.
Seadragomon turned over to Jake, who had gotten out of the water and being helped by Christina.
“Thanks cousin.” Jake said.
“I take those medical classes for a reason you know.” Christina said.
“Stone Glare!” Seadragomon shouted out, staring at Jake and Christina. They both looked him in the eye and turned to stone. We all gasped.
“This must be his ultimate attack!” Silver Falcon said from the tree.
Falconmon and Gryffinmon rushed over to their partners.
“Jake! Oh no!” Gryffinmon said.
“Christina! Please be okay!” Falconmon cried.
“The prophecy.” I said out loud.
“What prophecy?” Katie asked me.
“Well, Christina told me once about a prophecy where the Legendary Digidestined all turn to stone and the only ones who can break the spell was the original digidestined. The Legendary Digidestined then will receive their old powers and defeat the one who turned them to stone.” I explained.
Brian and Alie were turned to stone after John and Katie. Then only Amanda was the only one left.
“Stone Glare!” Seadragomon shouted, turning Amanda to stone.
“Well guys, it’s up to us now.” Matt said. “He turned all of the Legendary Digidestined to stone and now we have got to free them.”
“But how?” Kari asked.
“The medallions?”
“Nah, they haven’t worked for awhile.” Ken said.
“Then what about the swords?” I asked.
“That could work.” Izzy said. “Try it.”
We took our swords out and got ready to free the Legendary Digidestined.
“Fire!”
“Wind!”
“Light!”
“Water!”
“Ice!”
The swords glowed and sent beams at the stone figures. The stone started to crack and fall apart.
“It’s working!” I shouted.
The Legendary Digidestined broke out of their stone shells, revealing them in their cloaks.
“No! It can’t be!” Seadragomon shouted.
“What can’t be?” Alie asked, her voice booming all around us.
“Your end is near!” Katie said, her voice also booming all around us.
“You’ll learn to not mess with us, Seadragomon!” Jake boomed.
“Because when we are united,” Brian and John said together.
“We are powerful.” Christina and Amanda finished.
“Your puny powers will never defeat me!”
“Oh yeah, who said?” Brian asked.
Christina closed her eyes and whispered something. Then came a sea of vines rushing toward Seadragomon. They wrapped themselves around him and started to crush him. Katie summoned several boulders and told them to hit Seadragomon several times. Then the others did their powers while Alie got ready to do her own special power. She opened the gate to the world of darkness and sent him flying through the portal.
“They did it!” TK shouted out happily.
Then they all collapsed onto the ground, tired and worn out.
“Alie, you all right?” I asked Alie.
“Yeah I’m fine.” She replied smiling at me.
“That was fun.” Jake said.
“He was a lot weaker last time.” I said helping Alie up.
“Last time?” Brian asked.
“Yah we fought him before.” Alie said.
“At least last time you guys weren’t turned to stone.” I said.
“Very funny Tai.” Christina said.
The others sat down while Alie and I made breakfast.
T.K.
After breakfast we got our stuff together and headed out to meet Gennai. It sure was nice of the Legendary Digidestined joining up with us. After seeing them handle Seadragomon like that, I was so shocked. We had to cross a river and Jake pushed Christina into the river. We all laughed as Christina pulled Jake down off of the bridge. They finally caught up to us and we kept on going.
“How long is it to his house?” Yolei asked.
“I don’t know.” Tai said honestly.
Tai told us to take a break. When we all sat down, under Christina’s hand was a yellow tulip.
“Why is it that when you place your hand on the ground a flower sprouts?” Sora asked.
“Well, my powers are related to nature and I guess this is some part of my power.” Christina replied as some vines grabbed Jake.
“Hey no fair!” He shouted.
“Well, you did use your powers awhile ago so I decided to get my revenge on you.” Christina said.
“Good job sis!” Alie said.
“What?” the Legendary Digidestined besides Alie and Christina said.
“You didn’t tell them did you?” Alie asked Christina. Christina shook her head.
“Tell us what? Is there something we don’t know?” Jake asked.
“Well, my parents died in a fatal car crash. Alie’s parents adopted me so that I don’t have to live in Phoenix, Arizona with your mom, Jake.” She explained.
“Oh, I understand. If Alie’s parents didn’t adopt you then you’d be living with me.” Jake said.
“I’m your new cousin!” Alie said.
“That’s what I was afraid of.” Jake said. Just then, a cloud formed over Jake’s head and it poured rain all over him. He kept a straight face and said, “I’ll get you for this.”
“Oh brother.” Alie said. “Is he always like this?”
“Yes, he can either make a joke, pull a prank on you, or get revenge.” Christina said.
“I’ll really get you for this, Alie.” Jake said.
“Well just watch your step cause you’ll never know when I get you again, cuz.” Alie said.
“Will you two give it a rest, already.” Katie said.
We all saw the two of them look at each other then look at Katie. Together they lifted her up mentally and dropped her in the river. We saw Jake and Alie jump up snatch up their stuff and run away from Katie who was just a little bit behind them.
“Well lets get going before we lose them.” Tai said.
Alie
“Jake run she’s catching up!” I shouted at him, he was about a foot behind me.
“Alie up the tree!” he shouted.
Looking at the tree in front of me I ran right up it and hid in the thick part of the branches.
“Jake, Alie where are you two you’ll get it now.” Katie shouted.
“How long do you think we’ll be up here?” Jake asked.
“I don’t know it depends on how long it will take her to cool off.” I said leaning against the trunk, “the others are going to be mad at Katie though.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m the only one that knows the way to Gennai’s.”
“Good point.”
We watched as Katie started to look around for us. Unknown to Jake I was contacting Christina, Matt and Tai.
‘Where are you two?’ Tai thought.
‘Up a tree.’ I thought back.
‘Which one?’ Christina asked.
‘You’ll see.’
Seeing the others coming closer I levitated Jake down to the ground.
“There you are now you’ll get it!” Katie shouted.
I started to laugh as I watched Katie chase Jake around finally tackling him and she started to tickle him. Unknown to the others I was jumping from tree to tree trying to get better view to see if we were going the right way.
‘Alie where are you?’ Tai asked.
‘At the edge of the forest why?’ I thought.
‘Because I just climbed the tree that Jake came down from.’
‘Oh.’
‘How did you get down there?’ he asked.
‘I hopped from tree to tree.’
‘Okay I‘ll tell the others where you are and I’ll come join you.’
‘Be careful.’
‘Don’t worry I will.’
After a while I saw Tai coming. I also saw Gennai’s house. When Tai got closer enough to reach for me I jumped down to the ground and started to run away from Katie again. Unknown to the others I was leading them right for Gennai’s. I ran until I found a lake. Katie tackled me down on the ground and tried to tickle me but it was no use. I threw her off me and she landed in the lake. When she got out, Gennai appeared in front of the lake.
“Hey Gennai.” I said, giving him a hug.
“Good to see you again.” He said as the others came rushing in.
“I have a question: Why is the second group called the Legendary Digidestined?” Davis asked.
“I don’t know myself. Maybe you should ask Azulongmon or any of the other Digi-Gods.” Gennai said.
“Oh, then where do we find them?”
“I’ll show you.” Gennai said, walking into a forest. The others sighed as they got up and caught up with us.
Minutes later….
“Are we there yet?” complained Jake.
“Jake?” I asked.
“Yeah?”
“Shut up.”
Jake stared at me then looked at his surroundings. I saw him look around and I started to run.
‘Alie, where are you going?’ Tai thought.
“I’ll meet you there!” I shouted.
‘You didn’t answer my question.’ Tai thought.
‘I’m going ahead to be sure that we are going in the right direction and to stay away from Jake.’ I thought.
‘Uh Alie?’ Christina thought.
‘Yeah?’
‘Um, Jake just ran after you and he doesn’t look happy at all.’
‘Uh, bye!’
Matt
I watched as Jake ran into the forest, yelling. I sighed in disbelief.
“I’ll go stop Jake.” Tai said, running in after Jake.
“Do they do this all the time?” Cody asked.
“Yep.” Christina sighed.
Catching up with Tai, we saw him right on top of Jake. I tried not to laugh but it didn’t work so I laughed.
‘What’s so funny?’ Tai asked me mentally.
‘Nothing, Tai. It’s nothing at all.’ I thought.
‘Yeah right.’
‘Hey, this ain’t the time to be fighting.’ Christina thought.
‘We aren’t!’ We thought.
‘Good grief.’
‘I didn’t know you were related to Charlie Brown.’ I thought.
Christina tackled me to the ground. The others sighed and walked ahead, leaving Christina, Tai, Jake, and me alone.
“Tai…can you get off me?” Jake asked.
“No, unless you promise not to hurt Alie.” Tai said.
“I’m not promising anything.”
“Okay, you’re asking for it!” Tai said, giving Jake a noogie.
“Ahh… Tai stop it!” Jake shouted.
“Will you not hurt Alie then?”
“Only if she stops picking on me, I’ll stop picking on her.” Jake said.
‘Alie, if you promise not to pick on Jake, Jake will stop picking on you.’ I thought.
‘Okay, works for me.’ Alie thought. ‘There goes my fun of the day.’
“She agrees.” I said to Jake. Jake stared at me weirdly. “Uh, it’s nothing.”
Christina finally got off me but I pushed her into a tree and dashed off.
“Hey Matt, that was not fair!” She shouted at me.
I knew I was going to get it. I ran until I caught up with the others that were with Alie.
“Hey Matt, where’s Tai, Jake, and Christina?” Alie asked me.
“Christina is going to get me and Tai and Jake are trying to stop her.” I explained.
‘What did you do now?’ Alie thought.
‘I think I really got her mad.’ I thought.
‘What did you do to make her mad?’
‘I pushed her into a tree and since I know her well enough I know that she can get mad easily.’
‘You’re really asking for it aren’t you?’
‘Yep, I agree with you on that.’
“Matt, where did you go?” Christina shouted.
“Oh lord.” I said, running away.
“Matt, wait up!” Alie shouted. “You don’t know where you’re going!”
“Good point but I’m trying to get away from my girlfriend!”
Alie tackled me down and pinned me. “That was to easy.”
“Oh yeah!” I said attempting to pin Alie.
“Pinned yah.” She said sitting on my stomach.
I attempted to pin her but she got the better of me.
“Pinned yah again.” She said now sitting on my legs, this time I was facing the ground, “you need to work on your wrestling Matt.”
She stood up and helped me up. Looking back I saw Jake and Tai pinning Christina.
“Uh Matt you may wanna climb a tree.” Alie said.
“Okay.” I said and I scampered up it.
Tai
I watched as Matt climbed a tree, “I think we can get off her now Jake. Matt should be fine.”
Getting off her we watched her run towards where Matt once was.
“Oivia.” Yolei said.
We headed up to where Christina and Alie were. When we got there we couldn’t see Christina anywhere.
“Uh Alie?” T.K. asked her.
“Yah?”
“Where are Christina and my brother?”
We saw her indicate to the tree. “I think we should leave them alone for a while.” Alie said.
“Yah we don’t want to interfere.” I said and everyone found a place to sit and we relaxed. We waited for them to come back but I knew it wouldn’t be anytime soon.
Christina
I saw Matt swing from tree to tree and I followed him until I pinned him against the tree trunk.
“Get off me!” Matt said.
“There’s no way I’m going to get off you.” I said.
“I know a way.”
“What?”
“This.” Then Matt kissed me. It seemed he was using it as a way to calm me down. It worked. He knew me too well.
“Do you guys want to come down now?” Tai asked.
“We’re busy.” Matt shouted.
“Hope you’re not making out.” Tai said back.
“We’re not!” We both shouted.
“Then how about coming down then?” Alie asked.
“Oh alright. You spoiled my fun.” Matt said.
‘Dork.’ Alie thought.
We climbed back down and followed Gennai and Alie to Azulongmon. We had to climb up very cold mountains. Most of us complained about the mountains being cold but Gennai and Alie didn’t hear the complaining.
“Are we there yet? I’m freezing my pants off!” Jake asked.
“Make sure you don’t lose them.” Matt shouted.
“Not funny Matt.” Jake said.
“I wasn’t trying to be.” Matt shouted back.
“Oh great that’s just what we need, more fighting!” I shouted back at them.
“That’s guys for you.” Alie said. “They love to fight.”
“No we don’t!” The boys all shouted.
“Yeah you do.” Yolei shouted.
“Can we at least have some peace? All we ever do is make noise.” I said.
“Someone may hear us.” Alie said, looking through her binoculars.
Gennai and Alie lead us all the way over to Azulongmon. He still looked like he did the last time we saw him.
“Good evening digidestined and Gennai. How may I help you?” Azulongmon said as the other 3 Digi-Gods came.
“Well, I have a question: Why is the second group of digidestined called the Legendary Digidestined?” Davis asked.
“Hmm, well it all started when the first group of digidestined came. They had a member that was both an original and Legendary Digidestined. The second group came minutes after the first group.” Azulongmon explained.
“Each of the Legendary Digidestined had very powerful and interesting powers. They didn’t use any of the elements besides 2 of them.” Ebonwumon said.
“So Alie is half and half?” Izzy asked.
“Yes.” Xuanmon said.
“She was really apart of your group Tai but she had amazing powers that almost matched up with the combined attack from all of the Legendary Digidestined.” Baihumon explained.
“Whoa! That’s really powerful.” Jake said.
“Dork.” Katie said.
“Christina, Jake, Brian, Katie, Alie, John, and Amanda would you please come with me?” Ebonwumon asked.
“Sure.” We said, following Ebonwumon.
Jake
We followed Ebonwumon to a training ground. We all gasped in shock as we stared at the stadium. It reminded me of the Roman Coliseum we studied in History class. It was about the size of a football field and it had several different odds and ends placed in there.
“This is the place you’ll be training in for the next month.” Ebonwumon explained.
“So we’re going to train in this stadium?” Katie asked, examining the golden statues.
“Yes. You’ll practice on reading each other’s thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc. Gennai will be here helping you all through the training. Good luck.” Then Ebonwumon disappeared.
We found some chairs that we all sat in. My chair had my crest symbol on it. Gennai came through the steel doors and greeted us as he sat in his chair.
“Welcome, Legendary Digidestined. This is the training ground of the other famous digidestined. I am going to train you guys first before I train the other group. You each are going to have your own room and training schedule. Some of you will have the same schedule which means that your power levels are the same.” Gennai explained.
“Will there be tests?” Katie asked.
“Yes but they are not going to be ones where you answer questions on pieces of paper.” Gennai said.
I looked at Christina who was looking at me. Her cloak changed from yellow to gold. Her hair shimmered in the light and her eyes sparkled in the light. I looked back at Gennai, who was explaining how the training would be like. My periwinkle cloak matched the color of the chair that was weird.
“I’ll show you to your rooms so that you can unpack your things. You’ll be given your uniforms in the morning. The uniforms are for your training.” Gennai explained as he showed us our rooms. My room was painted all periwinkle and had imprints of my crest on the walls.
“Nice room, Jake.” Christina said as we saw her room. Her room was painted all gold and her crest was imprinted on the walls. It was like she was a princess or something. Alie’s was even more amazing since she was the digital princess.
“I put some dress clothes for the balls and special occasions just for you. The boys have tuxs and girls have dresses. The girls will wear special jewelry also. I’ll let you explore you rooms more closely since they do hold special gifts and surprises.” Gennai explained as he left.
I closed the door and explored my room. I saw a periwinkle crown sitting on a pillow. I put it on and looked in the mirror. I looked like a prince. I smiled to myself as I set the crown down. On all my walls I had windows so I could peek at the others’ rooms. I looked at Christina’s first. She was lying down on her bed and I saw a gold crown sitting on a pillow by her bed. I guess she recognized it. Alie had no surprises. She already knew she was a princess and where her surprises were. Katie had light purple wallpaper with her crest all over it. Amanda had plain white wallpaper with her crest of Serenity all over it. Brian had black wallpaper with his crest of Peace all over it. My crest was Responsibility. Christina’s old crest was called Caring until someone crushed that crest and gave her the crest of Loneliness. I placed my periwinkle crown on my head and heard the bell sounding for us to meet Gennai in the meeting room. We all came in wearing our dresses/tuxedos and crowns.
“So you discovered the crowns. You all are digital princes and princesses of the digital world. You were born here in the digital world from different families. Each family had a king and queen, which would have either a prince or princess. Each of you were born to a different family and you were destined to be together in some point in time. Your families were destroyed and I gave you guys to human families in the Human world. I wasn’t supposed to tell you that until the time was right.” Gennai explained softly.
“So, that’s another reason why we are so special.” Katie said, crossing her arms.
“Yes, there are many ways you are special and why you are legendary. You’ll find those things out when you do this training. It will start tomorrow morning so you better have a good breakfast because you’ll be up until midnight training.”
“From morning to midnight?” Amanda asked. Gennai nodded. “Ain’t that a lot of time to practice?”
“Yes it is but the time will go by fast.”
“Oh I’m sure it will.” Christina said as her crown and her dress sparkled in the light.
“I will give you your schedules tomorrow morning when I wake you up.”
“You will wake us up?” John asked.
“Yes I will.”
“Oh, okay.”
“After dinner you can go to your rooms and get some sleep coz tomorrow is going to be a big day for you all.” Gennai said as he disappeared from the table.
Dinner was weird there were all kinds of dishes some I didn’t recognize. Alie knew the dishes better than anyone else in the room. I was surprised to see Katie not complaining about anything. Maybe she finally got over complaining and decided to act more mature.
“How are things going in the states?” Alie asked us.
“Things are doing well. But we still are affected by the September 11th attack.” Brian replied.
I almost forgot. On September 11th, 4 planes were highjaked and they crashed into buildings. 2 of those planes crashed into the World Trade Center towers in New York while one plane hit the Pentagon and the other plane crashed into Pennsylvania because that plane was supposed to crash into the Pentagon but some of the people on the plane crashed that plane down before it got any closer to the Pentagon.
“Oh, I remember now. That was really horrible.” Christina said.
“Yes it was. I hope we don’t get any other attacks like that.” I said softly, looking at the floor. Christina placed her hand on my shoulder.
“Is there something wrong, cousin?” She asked me gently.
“No, I just don’t want to remember that attack. Remember, I now live in New York since mom moved from Phoenix to New York City. I was there, Christina, when the attack happened.” I explained as Christina hugged me close to her.
“You don’t have to remember it, Jake. Everything’s gonna be alright now that you’re safe and you will learn to defend yourself.” Christina said softly as she gave a kiss on the cheek as she sat back down.
I smiled and thanked her. She is someone who cares for everyone. That is why her crest used to be Caring, she cared deeply for each and every single living thing on Earth and the Digital World. I totally forgot that I was a prince of the Digital World. Wonder what the other kids will think when we tell them we are the princes and princesses of the Digital World. That’s when Christina’s crest glowed a bright gold.
“What’s going on?” Katie asked as we crowded around Christina. She took off her crest and we watched in amazement as it changed. The circle shrunk and the small stars grew a little. Each of the stars attached itself onto the circle, one of the points were touching the circle. A triangle appeared inside the circle.
“The crest of Caring…” I whispered softly.
“I guess when she really cared her crest was restored, which means the spell must be over.” Alie said.
Christina put her crest and tag back on her neck. She was really shocked when she got her old crest back. The rest of us were pretty shocked also. I guess you would be if your crest changed back to its original shape and broke the evil spell.
After dinner, we chatted until it was time for us to go to bed. I pulled on some pajama’s that was in my drawer and climbed into bed. My Digimon, Gryffinmon, was fast asleep by my bed. I smiled and fell into a deep sleep.
Alie
I woke up at 9:00 in the morning. I put on my original clothing and went to breakfast. As I walked, I saw some figure stand in the middle of the hallway.
Ahh, so this is the Angel of Faith. You’re very beautiful. The Angel of Caring and yourself are going to die as soon as I’m through with you, He thought in my head.
‘Go away.’ I thought. He stared at me and disappeared. I gave a sigh and walked into the dining room. The only person in there was Christina, along with Falconmon and Gatomon. I sat down beside Gatomon and took a plate, then started to put some donuts on it.
“Are you ok Alie?” Christina asked me.
“Yeah, why?” I asked.
“Well, I heard your thoughts. You said ‘go away’. I’m just wondering, who was it you were talking mentally to?” She asked.
“It was nothing.” I lied. I didn’t want her to know what I saw and what I had heard.
“Are you sure?” Christina asked with a worried look on her face.
“Yes.”
“Oh, okay. I already got my schedule. I’ll see you later.” Then she and Falconmon ran through a wall that was leading to the training grounds.
“Alie, I know you were lying to Christina.” Gatomon said staring with her blue eyes.
“Did you also hear that voice too, Gatomon?” I asked. Gatomon nodded.
“Yes, I heard everything. Indeed Christina and you are known as the Angels of Caring and Faith.” Gatomon said.
I was about to say something when Gennai gave me my schedule.
“Yours is the same as Christina since you 2 are the only ones who know how to speak mentally to each other and read each other’s thoughts. I want you to go out and meet her after you’re completely finished with breakfast.” Gennai said as he went back through the door he came through.
“Let’s go.” Gatomon said jumping off of the table and went through the same wall as Christina and Falconmon had. I quickly finished and went through the same wall. The room I was in looked like it was being used for a weightlifting room only the machines weren’t here. Christina was on the other side with 2 Digimon I never saw before. Gennai came through the wall.
“Ahh, so you have found the Digimon you’ll be working with through out your training. You will still be using your own Digimon but these guys are your trainers so listen to everything they say.” Gennai explained.
“Hello, my name is Flareodramon. I will be Alie’s trainer for the time being. My attacks are Flaming Tornado and Fire Tail Slash.” Flareodramon replied. She looked like a small dragon only her tail was on fire. Her wings were the color of red, orange, and yellow.
“I am Joltedramon, brother to Flareodramon. I am the trainer who will train Christina. My attacks are very similar to Megaparrotmon but only they are twice as powerful so don’t get me mad.” Joltedramon explained. He looked like Flareodramon only his tail was shaped like a lightning bolt. He also had spikes poking out all over his body, except his head, neck, and legs.
“So, you are our trainers right?” Christina asked. The 2 Digimon nodded their heads.
“Yes, we will teach what we know. Once we teach you, then you will be much more powerful than you are right now.” Joltedramon replied.
“Awesome.” I replied in amazement. Flareodramon smiled and beckoned me to an empty room.
“The other digidestined are all in their respective rooms. We will be alone when I train you. Joltedramon teaches things much different than what I do. He is the strongest of all the trainers I’ve heard of. We are going to start with defensive moves. Joltedramon will have you and Christina fight in one battle where you defend yourself against Christina’s attacks. This is a friendly battle so no one will be destroyed since the attacks only work on Digimon, not humans. Then you will learn the same moves that Christina learned only in a different way.” Flareodramon explained. I nodded my head.
“But what about the others?” I asked.
“They will first learn how to communicate through thoughts. Then you all will learn the other things that will help you learn more about the others.” Flareodramon said softly, stretching her wings.
“Oh I see. We learn at separate speed and separate courses.” I said just to be interrupted by Joltedramon and Christina running into the room.
“We must hurry before we are crushed!” Joltedramon shouted as he lead us 3 out of the building. We saw the other Legendary Digidestined out there too.
“Well, looks like we have to train outside.” Replied a small unicorn, which had a purple horn on her forehead, but she also had one on her nose.
“Yeah, you’re right.” Flareodramon said disappointingly.
A month later…
We returned back to the real world (or now known to us as the human world). I got back together with Christina, Matt, and Tai to tell them we should go back to our singing career.
“That’s a great idea Alie.” Christina said excitedly. Tai and Matt nodded in agreement, I smiled. I called the manager and told him that Phoenix is back. He told me that it was great that we are back. It went to the news, even the front of the newspaper.
Matt
It was titled, “Phoenix is back!” Then all of a sudden, we were on talk shows all over the world. Our first kickoff for our tour will start in Odiaba, Japan and go all over the world, visiting each country and state. The kickoff would be a week from now then we would tour all over Japan and so forth.
At the night of the concert, I was getting nervous. The place was sold out and thousands of our old fans were out there chanting out our name. We had Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Bbmak, and Britney Spears with us. Tai and I were then lowered down in front of the curtain and I felt sick but I did my line.
“Where are we Tai?” I asked him.
“Gee, looks like there’s gonna be a concert because it seems that there is a crowd out there.” Tai said as we unhooked ourselves and tore off the clothes, revealing the clothes we were using in our concert.
“What’s up Odiaba?” Tai shouted out to the crowd as Christina and Alie entered in. The stadium erupted in screams.
“We are back!!” Christina shouted out as there was a big explosion of fire from off the sides of the stage. “First of all, we have 4 special guests that are going to be singing with us during the concert. Second of all, I want you to make some noise as we introduce our special guests Backstreet Boys!” The crowd went wild as the Backstreet Boys came rushing out, slapping high-fives with us. “NSYNC, Bbmak, and Britney Spears!” The rest of them came out to the loud noise.
“Our first song is called The Call by Backstreet Boys.” I said as NSYNC, Bbmak, and Britney left, which left only Backstreet Boys and us on the stage. We went into the curtain and got to our positions for the song. The curtains raised up and revealed the full stage.
Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out just to end up in misery
Was about to go home when there she was standing in front of me
I said hi. I got a place nearby, wanna go?
I should’ve said no, someone’s waiting for me
But I called my girl up and said…
Listen baby I’m sorry
Just wanna tell you don’t worry
I will be late, don’t stay up and wait for me
Say again, you’re dropping out, my battery is low
Just so you know, we’re going to a place nearby
Gotta go
Now 2 years gone, nothing’s been won
I can’t take it back, what’s done is done
One of her friends found out that she wasn’t my only one
And it eats me up inside that she’s not by my side
Just because I made that call that night
Listen baby I’m sorry
Just wanna tell you don’t worry
I will be late, don’t stay up and wait for me
Say again, you’re dropping out, my battery is low
Just so you know, we’re going to a place nearby
Gotta go
Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out just to end up in misery
Was about to go home when she was standing in front of me
I said hi. I got a little place nearby, gotta go
Listen baby I’m sorry
Just wanna tell you don’t worry
I will be late, don’t stay up and wait for me
Say again, you’re dropping out, my battery is low
Just so you know, we’re going to a place nearby
Gotta go
The entire crowd erupted in cheers. During the whole time we were trying to find each other while singing, what was cool was that we could here the audience singing along which wasn’t to hard since we were running around through the dividers but the fans could only here us singing.
“Thank you. Wasn’t that just a great song?” JC asked us as we came back up from the crowd and the rest of the special guests came out.
“Yeah I guess so. The next song is called Don’t Look Down but we will take a short break because we need a stage change so please hold on. This would be a time where you can go do your business before we come back here on the stage.” Tai said as the curtain’s closed. We all went to the back room to get changed for this next song. Alie and Christina were going to wear outfits that acrobats would usually wear. Tai and I were going to sit this one out so the ones who are doing this song are Bbmak, Alie and Christina. What Tai and I are doing in the song is just things like a normal circus would do before the acrobats came out. NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and Britney are going to help us out. Britney was going to be vaulting over a vaulting horse.
In about five minutes or so, we opened the curtains that revealed a small circus ring with a tightrope high in the sky. We all came out and did our little routine before the lights shined up to reveal Bbmak, Alie, and Christina. Alie was with Bbmak while Christina was alone over on the other side. The music started up and soon Christina started singing while she carefully went on the tightrope.
You and I were way up high
In the dark, tell me where the light’s gonna come from now
Is it you, was it me?
Fallin out of hope, tightrope
After all baby you should know, not to be the cramp
All the talks by the fork
Fallin, love is a high wire act
We’ve got to get our balance back
And I know we can still do that
If you don’t look down
Don’t fear now
We’ve already lost our way
The memory of yesterday
Is still strong enough to light the way
Don’t look down
We can rebound
Whatever may lie ahead
Keep your eyes on me now
And baby, don’t look down
Alie: A starry sky, a lullaby
Is all we need to fortify
What is weakening
Wasn’t you, it was me
Running to get out or walk back in
I wanna end all suffering
I do believe a second chance is coming
Love is a high wire act
Got to be an acrobat
And I know you can still be that
If you don’t look down
Don’t fear now
We’ve already lost our way
The memory of yesterday
Is still enough to light the way
Don’t look down
We can rebound
Whatever may lie ahead, keep your eyes on me now
And baby, don’t look down
Don’t listen to the crowd
I know the sky is ominous and stormy
I know it’s hard to find your shelter here
Inside you feel it’s too far to be falling
But baby, don’t you fear
If you don’t look down
Don’t fear now
We’ve already lost our way
The memory of yesterday
Is still strong enough to light the way
Don’t look down
We can rebound
Whatever may lie ahead
Keep your eyes on me now
And baby, don’t look down
And baby, don’t look down
Don’t look down, you should never look down
Don’t fear now, you should never fear now
Don’t look down, you should never look down
Don’t fear now, you should never fear now
Once again, the crowd went wild. During the singing, they wobbled and still were able to sing. At the end of the song, Christina fell and luckily was caught by me. We stripped our clothes and revealed our other suits. The curtain closed so that it could be set up for another song.
“Was that good or what?” Christina shouted. The crowd answered by shouting out yes. “Excellent. Now while we wait for the stage to be cleared and set up, we will take questions.” NSYNC and the other guests left stage, leaving Alie, Christina, Tai, and I all alone on the stage.
An hour and a half later, we finally got to have some fresh air as we waited for our friends to come and congratulate us. We had plans to release our new album when are halfway around the world, touring.
After the concert all of the bands hung around to find something to do. Justin, J.C, Britney and Alie were exploring the basement while the rest of us stayed on the main floor. Looking over at Tai he seemed to be mad about something. ‘What’s wrong Tai?’ I thought to him.
‘They’ve been gone for along time.’ He thought.
‘So what, it’s a maze down there you and I both know that.’
‘It shouldn’t take them this long to find their way around.’
‘You’re becoming jealous of J.C. aren’t you?’
‘No.’
‘Tai I can read your thoughts you gotta remember that.’
Just then Alie, J.C, Justin and Britney came back and Alie didn’t look too happy. She came over to the two of us.
“Tai can I talk to you, alone.” She said. By the tone of her voice I guessed that she was reading Tai’s thoughts and found out that Tai was jealous.
Alie
Walking ahead of Tai I headed into my dressing room and shut the door behind him. I had heard his thoughts while I was down stairs with the other three.
“Tai what were you doing while I was down stairs?” I asked him already knowing the answers from Christina.
“I was hanging out with Nick, Brian, and A.J.” he lied.
“No you weren’t,” I said, “you’re lying to me I asked Christina and she told me that you were watching the opening that I had gone out of with J.C.”
“Okay so I was, maybe you can explain to me why my girlfriend was walking around with some other guy?”
“He and I were just talking about how we were doing!” I said.
“It looked like you 2 were getting pretty cozy to me.” Tai said, I was now pretty pissed off at him but unknown to me he was going to make me even more mad.
“Don’t push it goggle head!” I growled, but he wasn’t going to listen to me.
“Was that an insult? Well guess what, you broke my heart when you were with that…that idiot!”
“Don’t insult J.C. he’s one of my best friends like you used to be before we started going out! You know what Tai?”
“What?”
“You don’t know the first rule of being someone’s boyfriend!”
“Oh yah and what’s that?”
Tears streaming down my face I told him, “The one thing to keep a relationship is that we’re supposed to trust each other.”
“You don’t trust me!”
“Take that back Taichi sure there were times when you and Matt headed out to go to a party I wondered if you were with another girl but I knew better! I knew I could trust you!”
“Don’t you dare call me that Allison!” He said I knew that he didn’t want to be called by his full name.
“You know what Tai?”
“What?”
“All those times we’ve been together and all those dates I cherished those memories and now I have a new one to add.”
“And what’s that?”
“When I broke up with the love of my life, the one guy I thought that I would be with forever.”
“Anything else?”
“Yah, I had envisioned what the perfect guy would be like everything about him all I knew was that he had to be able to care about me like you did and I had finally found him, the perfect guy, do you know who it was?”
“Yeah J.C.”
“No, it was you, the day that you said that you loved me my heart flew I had finally found the perfect guy the one I wanted to be with forever he was you. I had the perfect guy with me and I didn’t even know it.”
He just stared at me.
“Take back your ring!” I said throwing it at him it bounced off his forehead and landed at his feet, “I never want to see you again.”
“Works for me!”
“I never want you to talk to or touch me again!”
“Fine!”
Staring at him for about ten seconds I ran out of the room tears streaming down my cheeks, running past the others and outside. I sat down on the bench and cried my heart out.
Matt
As I walked towards where Tai and Alie were when I heard them both shouting. I headed over as Alie ran past me.
‘Tai, what have you done now?’ I thought.
‘I didn’t do anything.’ Tai thought back to me.
‘Yes you have, quit lying. Now answer this: why was Alie crying?’ I thought.
‘What are you talking about Matt?’ Tai yelled mentally.
‘You know what I’m talking about, Tai. Alie was crying when she ran past me. I know you were the cause of this problem!’ I thought angrily at Tai.
‘Alright, I confess that I was the cause of her crying but it was because she was flirting with J.C.’ Tai thought.
I walked through the open door and punched Tai in the stomach. Tai staggered back and tried to catch his breath.
“Tai you were lucky, you had a girlfriend that loved you with all her heart! You go and throw that away just because she went to go and talk with one of her friends! I’m smart enough to trust my girlfriend unlike you!”
“Hey what I go and do is none of your business!”
“Hey you 2 break it up!” Justin shouted coming in between Tai and I stopping us from tearing each other limb from limb.
“How about you try to talk to him about the problem he created.” I said, walking out of the room. I was walking along when I saw Alie and Christina sitting together on the bench.
“Thank goodness you’re here Matt.” Christina said who was embracing Alie. “I told Lance to go tell the others about the situation.”
“Justin had arrived just in time to stop me from tearing that idiot to shreds.” I said, punching my fist in my palm.
“You should have Matt.” Alie sobbed.
“Justin and the others will handle Tai while you and I have to help Alie out.” Christina said as J.C ran up to us.
“Are you ok Alie?” JC asked worried.
“Yeah, I’m okay.” Alie said, wiping tears from her face.
JC gave Alie a hug. Alie sobbed into his shirt while he patted her back. Christina smiled and I sat down beside her, placing my arm around her shoulder. Christina pushed my arm off but I placed it back on her shoulder. She rolled her eyes as I laughed.
“You don’t know when to quit now do you Matt?” Christina said as I kissed her on the cheek.
“You got that right, sweetheart.” I said in her ear.
A week later…
Tai
It has been a week since I had that fight with Alie. A lot of my friends say to cheer up I was now a free man. The best part was I could go anywhere, and date any girl I want but something’s still missing. Sure I miss talking to Alie like we were still best friends and we never told each other that we loved each other, but she still won’t talk to me, every time we pass each other in the halls we ignore each other. During interviews and concerts for the Phoenix we just smiled and did what we were supposed to do but where no one could see us we ignored each other. If we had to work together in the Digi-world we would do it then we would ignore each other.
Matt has finally forgiven me. He and Christina were doing great they had the same kind of relationship as Alie and I had, except I wasn’t as crazy as Matt. There were times when I wished that Alie and I were still together but then I gave myself a mental slap to make me forget but it couldn’t happen every so often I would smile at a memory that we share. Now that I’m single I notice Sora checking me out so I’ve been avoiding her.
It was getting close to the time where we get out of school. For Alie, Christina, Matt, and I we had to do practicing for when we would be traveling around the world. We decided to take Matt’s SUV to the rehearsal, Christina sat next to Matt so I was stuck sitting in the back seats with Alie. On the way, I saw Matt slink one of his hands on top of Christina’s hand. Christina looked at him and looked back out the window. I almost could’ve sworn that Matt was looking at her, smiling. Alie looked at Matt and rolled her eyes. Matt stared back at her and went back to watching the road since he was driving but he kept on looking in the rear view mirror. Looking out the window I set my right hand down on what I thought was the middle seat but was actually Alie’s hand we both pulled back our hands and looked at each other for about 20 seconds then Alie looked back out the window.
“Are you 2 enjoying yourselves?” Matt teased as Alie and I shook our heads no.
“Finally you guys agree on something.” Christina said. Alie rolled her eyes and I laughed.
“Uh Tai?” Alie asked.
“Yeah.” I asked anxious I was hoping she was thinking the same thing that I was.
“You have a bit of chip dip on your chin.” She said, she took a Kleenex and got it for me.
“Thanks.” I said disappointed, Alie just looked back out the window.
“You finally said something to each other.” Matt said, smiling. Alie playfully punched Matt on the shoulder.
“I didn’t want to have him go through the embarrassment.” She said and returned her attention back outside the window.
Christina was still looking out the window, watching the scenery go passing by. It would be another few minutes until we will have arrived to rehearsal. Her long brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail like Alie’s. I gave myself a mental slap on the head. Why did I compare her hair to Alie’s? That day was great but I was comparing just about everything to Alie. That night it hit me,
“I haven’t gotten over her yet.” I realized.
Has Tai really gotten over Alie and if not will they get back together? Find out in the next book: The New Prophecy.
