Part 2
"Well? What did Genni say Izzy?" Tai asked
"Yeah, don't keep us in suspense." Matt said
Izzy calmed himself enough to speak, "He.. he says that the Digiworld needs our help."
"Oh God! Not again! I have studying I need to do." Joe said pushing his glasses back up on his nose.
"And I am really out of shape, I can't go back." Mimi said
Matt looked over to Mimi and shook his head. "Go on Izzy."
"He says that Myotismon is back and more powerful then ever!" Izzy said
Everyone just looked at each other in disbelief.
"Is that even possible?" Joe asked. "I mean we killed him, right?"
"Yeah Izzy, are you sure that Genni is not just..I don't know...suffering from Alzheimer's?" Tai asked
"OOWW!" Tai screamed as Sora gave Tai a sharp jab in the ribs.
"I don't think that Genni would have that Tai." Sora said sternly
"Well I guess we should go then, right?" Matt said looking to the others.
"Matt. There's more." Izzy said not sure how to say the rest.
"What is it?" Matt asked
"Well I am not sure on the details or how she fits into this.." Izzy started.
"How who fits into this?" Tai asked
"Maki" Izzy said softly
"Wh... What did you say?" Matt asked not sure if he had really heard what he thought he heard.
"I said Maki, Matt." Izzy said again
Matt felt his heart drop down into his stomach, he felt sick as though he was going to puke at any moment. "Maki is dead." He whispered.
"She was Matt, but not anymore." Izzy said looking at Matt
Matt couldn't speak, he looked at Izzy not wanting to hear anymore but at the same time wanting to know it all. He looked over to Mimi for a moment, she was looking wide-eyed at him and he quickly turned away from her. He couldn't bare to look into her eyes, not now.
"Izzy? What do you mean, not anymore?" Tai finally asked.
Izzy shook his head, "I don't know, Genni just said Maki was back and that was all he said about her."
"Izzy do you think that maybe he could be mistaken?" Sora asked
"It is a possibility." Izzy said
Matt took a deep breathe, "Well, we can't just sit around here. We have to go back." He said looking at Tai.
Tai nodded his head. "If the Digiworld is in trouble then we have to go back."
"I was so afraid that you were going to say that." Joe said shaking his head.
"We have to Joe, we're the digidestined." Sora said looking at Joe
Tai just rolled his eyes, never fails that Joe would be like this. He looked over to Matt who was now ghostly pale, God, I hope that he will be ok. Maki? I wonder if she is really back.
"OK well how do we get back Izzy?" Tai asked
"I press a button." Izzy said looking at his computer
"What?" the group all said
"Genni attached a program to his email, he said that as soon as I downloaded it all I would have to do is press enter and the dimensional rift would open for us and we could go through."
"Well then let's go." Tai said standing to his feet.
The rest of the group followed suit by standing up and walking close together.
Matt still felt sick but walked forward with Mimi clinging to his arm. Matt looked at Mimi trying to give her a reassuring smile, but he found it hard. Maki, oh what am I going to do? Could it even be true? So much of me wants it to be true, but... part of me doesn't want it to be. Mimi, if Maki is back? Oh God I can't think about this right now!
"Everyone ready?" Izzy asked
"No!!!!!" Joe screamed " I can't do it! Not this time!" Joe continued to yell as he began to hyperventilate.
"Joe calm down!" Tai said grabbing a hold of the boy who was in hysterics. "Joe we will all be fine as long as we stick together! Now get a grip!"
Joe stopped his yelling and looked at Tai. Tai let go of Joe's shoulders and patted him on the back. "Now come on Joe, it will be ok." Tai said smiling.
Joe nodded and walked forwards not really wanting to but he felt that he owed it to the rest of the group. "OK, I guess I wouldn't be very reliable if I didn't go and help." He said trying to convince himself more then the others.
"OK Izzy, do your thing." Tai said
Izzy looked at Tai and nodded pressing his finger down on the enter button. At first nothing happened. This kids just looked at each other in confusion and then a boom of thunder crashed in the distance making all of the kids jump.
A small green light appeared in front of the kids, it slowly began expanding into a large whole. It looked like a vortex as the green light swirled around, the thunder boomed again now closer then it was before.
"Is that it?" Tai screamed at Izzy
"I believe so" Izzy yelled back.
"Well then lets go!" Tai yelled to the others as he walked into the light. The others followed Tai in.
Matt slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He was back in the Digiworld alright, he would know this place anywhere. He heaved a sigh as he sat up rubbing the back of his neck that now hurt quite badly. Not too far from where he was sitting was Mimi who was still unconscious. Matt sorely got up from where he was and made his way over to Mimi picking her up in his arms. She moaned softly as she began to come to.
"Where am I?" she asked
"I am pretty sure that we are back in the Digiworld." Matt replied glancing around for the others who were scattered around where Matt and Mimi now sat. Matt looked back to Mimi and kissed her forehead gently. "I am going to go check on the others Mimi, I'll be right back." He said as he got up and walked over to T.K. first who was now sitting up rubbing his head.
Mimi sat and watched Matt go from person to person checking on them. She had really begun to love him, but now she was fearful of losing him. Oh God, please don't let it be true that Maki is back. I know Matt cares about me, but his heart is truly with Maki. I can't let her have him; he's mine now! She screamed in her mind.
Soon the others had all come to and were gathered around Izzy who was trying to pinpoint their exact location so they would know where to find Genni from where they were.
"OK guys, we have less then a days walk to Genni's, I suggest we go now." Izzy said pointing his finger in the direction that would be going.
The others nodded and began heading off in the direction of Genni's house in the lake.
Two figures stood watching them unseen; smiling evilly at the kids at they trudged off. One of the figures kept her eyes locked on one of the kids specifically.
After four hours of walking the kids finally came to the edge of the lake where Genni's house was beneath.
"OK? Now how do we get in?" Tai asked
"The dude really needs to get a doorbell." Matt muttered
"I'll email Genni and tell him we're here." Izzy said as he began to type furiously away at the keys to his laptop. "There!" he said as he finished.
The kids stood there watching for some sign of Genni or for the lake to disappear or something.
"You would think that maybe Genni would have just opened that rift into his living room or something, at least that way we wouldn't have to have walked all this way. My feet are killing me." Mimi complained
"Well?" Tai said turning to Izzy
Izzy shrugged. "He should have gotten it, where is he?"
Just then the lake drained showing a staircase leading down to the bottom of the lake where a small house stood. Genni peeked his head out the door.
"Kids!" he yelled to them smiling, "come on down!"
"You're on the Price Is Right." Matt said as he walked down the stairs with the others.
The kids shuffled into Genni's living room and took seats as directed by Genni.
"I am so glad you came as quickly as you did." Genni said
"Genni, what's going on here?" Tai asked the question that everyone wanted to know.
"Well it is a..." Genni was interrupted by yelling.
"Tai!" Agumon screamed running up to Tai, followed by the other digimon running up to their human friends.
Genni tapped his foot impatiently as the digidestined and the digimon exchanged greetings.
"Please! There will be plenty of time for that later. This situation is pressing we have no time to waste. Both worlds are in terribly grave danger!" Genni yelled regaining the attention of the kids.
"Now, as I was saying. Myotismon is back and stronger then ever and..." he stopped for a moment looking at Matt. "He... Myotismon has found a way to bring Maki back from the dead."
"What!" all yelled.
"Wait a sec! Maki is alive?" Matt yelled smiling
"So to speak yes. But she is not the same Maki anymore, Matt." Genni replied sadly shaking his head.
"What... What do you mean, Genni? Where is she? What has Myotismon done to her!?" Matt screamed as he stood with his fists clenched unable to contain his anger.
"Matt! Calm down, let Genni finish." Sora said calmly.
Matt looked at Sora then back to Genni, he took a deep breath and returned to his seat.
"She is on the side of darkness with Myotismon now." Genni continued.
"Well surely there has to be a way to get her back, right?" Izzy inquired
Genni shook his head. "No, not that I know of, I'm sorry. You will have to destroy both Myotismon and Maki. If you don't then both worlds will suffer at their wrath."
"We can't destroy Maki! She is one of us!" Matt said to the others.
Tai looked at Matt and shook his head. "I don't know Matt, if she is with Myotismon now then we have no other choice."
To be continued.....
