Chris smirked as he saw Scorpimon heading back. "They're on their way into the forests." Scorpimon said. "We'll get Sandy and the others for this. Scorpimon digivolve to Gakashmon."
"Haruko, the heavenlys are in the forests." Chris said. "We can stop them there and destroy them before they get their crests."
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Sandy looked forward as they continued their way inside the deep forest. There's no turning back. Sandy said in her head. I have to help my friends out.
Haruko smirked and then nodded. "Off to the forest then ne?"
"Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!" Akumatamamon said in a high-pitched voice, imitating the new Destiny girl. Haruko snickered.
"Let's do this."
~*~*~*~
Sakura walked alongside Abunimon, zoned out, not really thinking about what's going on, just listening to the sounds of her and her new friends walking.
Abunimon, however, was lost in thought, making plans on what to do if they were attacked. Not if, she mentally corrected herself bitterly. When.
Chris nodded his head as Gaskashmon lead the team into the forest.
Meanwhile...
"I smell a rat." Yuumon said. "Yuumon digivolve to Goatmon. Sandy, Sakura! Chris and Haruko are heading our way again."
Sandy looked at Sakura and nodded her head. "We'll hold Chris and Haruko." Sandy said. "Jamie, you, Qusay and Kaylee search for the crest of sincerity."
Safir looked around with DemiDevimon in the desert. He'll come. Safir said. I smell his blood anywhere.
************
Qusay nodded his head as he and Terriermon followed Jamie, Kaylee and their digimon Palmon and Unisusmon. Amen-Ra help me protect my friends from getting hurt. Qusay said. Safir has tricks up his sleeves and will try to kill them. Not if I have anything to say about it.
Sakura nodded enthusiastically, red braids flying, eyes sparkling.
"We'll hold them," Anubimon said, repeating Sandy's words. "We managed to shake them off last time, so we should be able to keep them busy while you guys look for the Crest."
Chris and Gakashmon faced Sandy and Goatmon. "Ready for round two, Sandy!" Chris snarled.
"You know I don't back down from a fight." Sandy said, calmly.
"Milky Erode." Goatmon yelled.
"Gakash Glare!" Gakashmon shouted.
Sakura glared at Haruko as she stepped out of the shadows, smirk in place.
"Hello again, Hakekari Sakura."
"Hello again, Kataki Haruko."
Haruko chuckled to herself as Akumatamamon came to her side.
"Well, if it isn't lil Anubimon, Digimon of Destiny," Akumatamamon sneered.
Anubimon glared. "Akumatamamon, Digimon of Destruction."
"We will not let you pass!" Sakura shouted, fists clenched. "We shall defend our friends!"
"That's a good enough introduction for me," Anubimon commented. "Anubimon Digivolve to Abunsimon!"
"Akumatamamon Digivolve to DarkTyrannomon!"
Haruko walked over to Chris and muttered in his ear to where the other DigiDestined couldn't hear, "Are they going to be surprised when we show our trump card, ne?"
Qusay pulled out two different digimon cards. One of Kerpymon with her attack of Celestial wave and of Metal Garurumon with Metal wolf claw. Well so do I Qusay said in his head as Terriermon nodded his head.
Chris nodded his head in agreement with Haruko.
"Gargoyle's Claw." Gakashmon yelled.
"Mystic Bell." Goatmon shouted.
Jamie followed Qusay, Kaylee, Palmon and their digimon.
"Not so fast, Satoh." Keiko said. "Black Tailmon."
"Black Claw!" Black Tailmon yelled. "BlackTailmon digivolve to LadyDevimon."
"Palmon digivolve to Togemon. Needle spray."
"Nightmare Claw" LadyDevimon yelled.
Jamie glared at Keiko as she saw LadyDevimon hurt Togemon. "No matter what you, Tsuruhime!" Jamie said. "You're not taking away my innocence and my sincerity." Just then the crest of Sincerity came to Jamie.
"Togemon digivolve to Lillymon. Flower Cannon."
Safir faced Qusay and Kaylee.
"Black Patamon dark digivolve to Devimon" Devimon faced Gargomon. "Don't try escaping from us." Devimon warned.
"Gargo Blasters." Gargomon yelled. "We don't plan to Devimon."
Haruko growled as she saw Chris and Gakashmon retreat. "...DarkTyrannomon, come on. Let's go."
Haruko climbed up on top of DarkTyrannomon's back, and the large Dinosaur Digimon followed Chris and Gakashmon.
Lillymon saw Haruko and Chris retreat with their digimon. "Bye now!" Lillymon said. "And don't come back."
Jamie sweatdropped at Lillymon.
Sandy and Goatmon saw Chris and Haruko retreat with their digimon as Chris shot a final nasty glare at her. "I'll see you again and then I'll defeat you." Chris said.
"You wish." Sandy warned.
Qusay and Safir continued fighting. "Gargo Blasters." Gargomon yelled
"Death Claw." Devimon yelled
"Sandy, watch it!" Goatmon yelled, warning her partner.
"Stay Alert!" Lillymon yelled hitting Gakashmon. "Flower Cannon."
Jamie watched as Qusay and Safir's fight got even worse.
Sandy looked at Goatmon as Lillymon attacked and wounded Gakashmon.
"Gakashmon!" Chris yelled. "You'll pay for this."
"Think again!" Sandy said. "You can hurt me but you'll never destroy the chamers of my heart." With that Sandy's digivice began to glow as the crest of Heart entered her digivice. The star-shape was in the middle of the heart.
"They'll be back!" Lillymon said, before de-digivolving into Tanemon. "Believe me, they'll return."
Sakura crossed her arms and grinned slightly. "Eh, they'll always be back. Anyways, where to now?"
Jamie picked up Tanemon as she faced Sakura, Kaylee, Sandy and their digimon. "My guess is the Ocean." Jamie said. "We need to find the crest of heart since I found my crest of Sincerity."
'No matter, I'll still defeat Jamie and her firends if it's the last thing I do.' Keiko said in her head as she looked at Seraphmon and then to her dark crest of Vengeance.
'No matter what happens, there's still someone who can make us vulnerable.' Sandy said, silently as she and Goatmon followed Jamie, Sakura, Kaylee and Qusay along with their digimon.
Qusay and Terriermon looked at the girls. "Just because I'm the only guy here doesn't mean you people can flirt with me." Qusay said. "I just want to make that clear."
Sakura giggled. "And why would we want to do that?"
"Maybe he's a bit uncomfortable about being the only guy here." Jamie said.
"If we had another guy here, maybe he'd have someone to have guy talk." Tanemon sweatdropped.
Kaylee raised an eyebrow and rolled her eyes. "Some one is a little over confident," she muttered. "Anyway, where to?"
Sandy thought for a moment before replying. "My guess is the beach!" Sandy said. "I need my crest before Chris finds away to get his digimon to digivolve to Gorganmon."
Qusay and Terriermon followed behind Sandy, Goatmon and the other girls as they headed towards the beach. I'm not good with girls anyway Qusay said in his head.
"Seraphmon, they're heading towards the beach." Keiko said. "We'll stop them there faster than those who complain."
Meanwhile....
Tanemon looked up at her digidestined, relieved that Jamie hasn't died yet unlike Yukane.
Haruko crossed her arms and scoffed. "We will beat them, just as soon as we get a new plan, ne?"
"Oh we'll get one soon!" Keiko said, reading Haruko's thoughts.
Morons! Safir said silently. I'll go alone because I don't need weakling interfering.
Sandy looked around as she felt something wrong. Someone's watching us. Sandy said in her head. And I don't know what it is. Goatmon looked at her partner at first before ignoring the feeling she felt. "Those dark digidestined punks will still be on our tail no mater what we do." Sandy said. "And we haven't even thought about food yet."
Sakura's eyes suddenly perked up. "FOOD? Where?" She glanced around quickly, blinking.
Tanemon sweatdropped as Jamie looked into her bag. "I manage to still have some rice balls." she said. "And some sweet oranges, just enough for all of us in the group. And there all sliced up evenly." She splited the orange pieces to Qusay, Sakura, Kaylee, Sandy and their digimon along with Tanemon. That's the one thing that baka Keiko forgot in this world. Jamie said, in her head. They need food to eat in order to survive here.
Qusay looked into the sky as Terriermon looked at his partner. "We're gonna find trouble soon." said Terriermon.
"We shouldn't think about it." Qusay told him.
While Sakura scarfed down her food gratefully, Abunimon narrowed her eyes slightly. Something doesn't feel right, Abunimon thought, glancing around nervously.
Goatmon looked around her surrounding as Sandy's eyes narrowed futher. 'I know that feeling.' Sandy said in her head as she and Goatmon heard the squaking of a Birdramon.
"Birdramon, Champion data level." Goatmon said. "Her Meteor Wing attack wards off anyone out of the forests."
Birdramon glared at the five digidestined. "You tresspassed my forest." Birdramon said. "Prepare to suffer, Meteor Wing."
"Milky Erode." Goatmon yelled.
Terriermon looked up from the food he and Qusay were eating. Birdramon attacked Goatmon. "Terrier Tornadoes." Terriermon yelled. "We need to fight it out."
"Circlet Boomerang!" Abunimon shouted as Sakura crouched close to the ground.
"Tanemon digivolve to Palmon." Palmon looked at Birdramon as Jamie stayed down. "Poision Ivy." Palmon yelled.
"Terriermon digivolve to Gargomon." Gargomon faced Birdramon. "Gargo Blaster." Gargomon yelled. "Qusay, get down."
The attacks barely held the irate bird as she broke apart from Palmon's Poison Ivy.
"Meteor Wing." Birdramon yelled.
"Mystic Bell." Goatmon shouted. "Sandy, stay down."
"Circlet Boomerang!" Abunimon shouted as she shot another blast at Birdramon.
Sakura looked up at the Bird Digimon and frowned. "Territorial, ne?"
"You have no idea," Abunimon replied dryly.
"Milky Erode." Goatmon yelled, hitting the irate Birdramon.
"Does anyone have any suggestions?" Sandy said. "I'm open for some."
Sakura thought for a moment, while Abunimon sent a barrage of Circlet Boomerangs at Birdramon.
"I have a suggestion. RUN!"
Qusay then pulled out a card. "Digimodify." he yelled. "Growlmon's Pyro Sphere activate."
"Pyro Sphere." Gargomon shouted, the attack hittng the bird digimon enough to make their escape.
Sandy and Goatmon followed suit after Sakura's suggestion to run from the irate Birdramon.
Palmon let go of the irate Birdramon as Jamie grabbed on to Qusay's arm to pull her up from the ground. At least she and the others got away from the irate bird.
Qusay looked at Jamie as she let go his arm after running from the irate Birdramon. As much as he hated to admit it, he actually is starting to like her for some reason, as Terriermon made wierd but funny attemps to get Palmon's attention. He had to smile at his digimon's antics.
Jamie looked at Qusay. She's stating to have feeling for him as well as Palmon turned her attention to Terriermon's funny antics. She can tell he's very shy but she likes that because at least he's honest and caring.
Sandy looked on as Goatmon finally de-digivolved into Yuumon again as she felt sick to her stomach. Too much has happen for her, meeting new people in a digital world, fighting battles was a lot for Sandy to control. At least she's made friends from different country, that she wouldn't imagine meeting.
Qusay looked on as Terriermon played around with Palmon. He then turned his attention towards Jamie. "If you like her, just tell her." Terriermon said. "I like Palmon as much as you like Jamie."
Qusay blushed as he realized Terriermon was right. He really liked Jamie since he came here but he was too afraid of rejection. "I like you." Qusay sputtered, embarrassed. "I really like you."
"Jamie, why is your face red?" Palmon asked innocently. Jamie didn't answer her digimon and continued looking at Qusay. She liked him as well but don't know she was going to handle it.
"I like you too." Jamie said.
Out of the corner of her eye, Sakura noticed Qusay and Jamie's talking to each other. Surprisingly, she felt a shot of jealousy. She shook herself mentally and looked away. Why should she care if Qusay and Jamie liked at each other? She frowned and shrugged. Besides, what about Mareon?
Abunimon noticed Terriermon and Palmon playing around and watching their human partners. To tell the truth, she wasn't suprised; it was almost obvious that Terriermon liked Palmon, and it had been during their last adventure together. Abunimon grinned to herself. As long as Terriermon was happy with Palmon, Abunimon would be at peace.
~*~*~*~
Haruko glanced over at Chris, a smirk playing across her lips. She could imagine how much power the two of them could have, if only they got rid of the new Heavenlies.
Sandy looked over between Qusay and Jamie. She was actually smiling that Qusay and Jamie liked each other, but she wished Francis was here with her.
~*~*~*~*~
For some reason Chris wanted what Haruko wanted but since Keiko is the dark digimon empress, they need to take her out of their way along with Safir and Blake so that they can get enough power needed to terrorize them.
Keiko could tell something was wrong in the way she was leading her team. Seraphmon can tell that her partner was getting a bed feeling about this. I never expected them to come up with ideas against me. Keiko said, in her head. I'm Itami Keiko, the keeper of Vengeance and the digimon empress. No one gets smart with me and live. She then looked at the box hidden from anyone else who came across it. She looked into the box to see no amulet. "Where's the gilgamesh amulet?" she yelled. "I know it isn't inside the dark box where I left it."
"Someone must've stolen it." Seraphmon said. "But who could've done so."
*~*~*~*
Jamie looked at Qusay. She touch the long strands of his black hair that covered his right eye from his fight with Safir. Terriermon and Palmon noticed Sakura being a bit jealous of Qusay and Jamie.
Sandy looked around the beach as she saw what was happening. This is too much so far. Sandy said, in her head. Sakura's got a crush on Qusay but Jamie and him like each other. I'm grateful that I got Francis to love.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Chris smirked as he pulled out the amulet out of his pocket. At least he and Haruko will get the power needed to stop the heavenlies at last.
Safir looked on as Chris gloated in front of Haruko. Stupid weakling. he said in his head before leaving. I get the heavenly without these people.
Qusay held onto Jamie as he saw Sakura and Sandy. Oblivious to the fact that Sakura was developing a crush on him, Terriermon and Palmon made goofy ways to make sand angels.
Keiko's not gonna like this. Seraphmon said, in her head as she disappeared.
Jamie looked in the beach. She was beginning to see that Sakura is developing a crush on Qusay but he likes her instead. As Terriermon and Palmon made sand angels, she noticed Abunimon looking around for something else and Sandy looking at the beach with Yuumon.
Qusay looked on as he relaxed. Nothing happening yet. he said in his head. Unless Safir shows up again with those punks.
Haruko glanced at Chris and raised an eyebrow. "Where'd you get that?"
Sakura stretched and yawned. "Man, I'm so tired... I haven't been able to rest ever since we got here."
Abunimon stopped. "Do you guys think that we should stop to rest a bit, or do you think we should continue?"
Sandy looked up at the sky. 'I really have a bad feeling about this.' she said, in her head. "We should rest here for a while." Yuumon told Abunimon. "You're jealous of Palmon aren't you. She got Terriermon and you still have had anyone to love."
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
"Took it from Keiko's room." Chris whispered, hoping someone didn't hear him.
Seraphmon had very good hearing as she heard about what's been happening. Keiko has a right to know about this. Seraphmon said in her head. Sneaking away stealthfully and quietly, she headed back to Keiko.
Abunimon scowled at Yuumon. "I'm not jealous; as long as Terriermon is happy with Palmon, I'm happy for the two of them. However..." She glanced at Sakura, then continued in a more hushed voice. "I am a bit worried about my new partner..."
~*~*~*~*~
"From Keiko?" Haruko echoed. "You'd best be praying that she doesn't find out and get ahold of you. What's that thing supposed to do?"
Seraphmon continued darting away in anger. Before long she arrived at Keiko's room. "Keiko-chan." Seraphmon said. "Chris has your amulet."
"He has what." Keiko said, in anger. "I'd love to wring his neck."
"That idiot is going to get in trouble." Black Patamon said. "I can't wait until he does."
Safir noded his head fond of what he heard. "That's the best news I ever heard." Safir said.
