Digidestined Heero - Chapter 7: Everlasting Truth

Reliana stirred in her sleep. It was cold. Opening her eyes she
surveyed her surroundings. Stone. Lots of stone. Cold, hard, immovable
stone. The darkness was chilling. Clouds obscured the sky, and a
fog-like mist began to seep down the rock walls. Thinking she was in a
dream, she pinched herself.

Nothing.

"Izzy!" she screamed. No answer, save the echo of her own voice,
bouncing back from the fissures within the walls. "Izzy!" she screamed
again, panic seeping into her voice. "Where are you?"

Blake's thoughts were in turmoil. It seemed harder to think while
running so she did. She ran until there was no breath left in her
lungs, and no energy left to take another breath. Only then did she
slow her pace, her chest rising in small, quiet gasps.

Her thoughts were wrapped up in an internal battle no one could
possible understand or help her cope with. The loss of the only family
she had ever known was the real reason behind her reluctance to meet
people. She didn't want to befriend a person only to lose them.

What is it about him that I can't ignore? Everyone here can tell me a
story in which Davis will turn out to be the village idiot. Is it just
me who sees past that? Would he continue to worship Kari if he knew
what she thought about him?

Her thoughts continued to linger on Davis while she turned a vaguely
familiar corner and headed toward the apartment she now lived in. A
place so far from where in which she grew up. It's odd how all this
started, actually. When Reliana ran away to Japan things seemed
easier, but they only got worse. They really didn't know how long
there was left. Years, or so we thought. Months in truth.

The shock of her parent's deaths had plunged Blake's world into one of
darkness, a world in which the only ray of light was a sister in a far
away foreign country. The newness was the worst, though. New place,
new people, new language. Her sister had changed, too. She wasn't...

Blake closed the apartment door behind her, at the same time closing
the door on the thoughts circling in her mind. Deciding to surf the
net to get rid of some stress, Blake made for the computer room.

Izzy was there. On the floor, out cold. Reliana was nowhere to be
seen.

"Izzy. Izzy, wake up!" Blake shook the prone form of her sister's
boyfriend. She hadn't admitted it to anyone, but she was glad Reliana
was with a person like Izzy. Her last boyfriend had a mean
personality, and was the reason she fled so far from home in the first
place. "Izzy!!"

* * *

"Don't say it, TK. I already know." Davis was still overwhelmed. Blake
likes me. Why couldn't I see that? Correction: liked. Past tense. Now
what do I do?

"Davis. I have never seen you give up, ever. Blake took a big chance
going along with Kari's plan tonight. Take a chance yourself, on her.
Go tell her you understand, and..."

Davis jumped to his feet, once again drawing the restaurant patron's
eyes to the table currently only occupied by him and TK. "I won't
work, don't you get it! She hates me now, and nothing will change
that."

TK sighed. "Just go talk to her, Davis. You may be surprised."

...Nine...ten... Reliana opened her eyes. A wall of rock still
assaulted her vision. Why won't this stone go away? What could I have
done to earn this private little hell? Standing, she resolved once
again to attempt escape from the walls that held her.

With each desperate attempt the fog thickened, until she couldn't see
farther in front of her than she could reach. She stood with her back
to the wall and walked forward, away from it. Not ten steps later the
fog parted to reveal another cliff wall blocking her path.

Silently fuming Reliana tried a new track. Placing one hand on the
wall she walked forward, following the rock it wherever it might end.
Looking down she cursed. The sight meeting her eyes was that of her
own foot prints.

"Why won't you go away? What the hell do you want from me?" Reliana
screamed at the sky, expecting silence.

She received an answer. :A computer virus is just a puppet, its string
wielded for destructive ends by a hacker. If the strings are broken,
what happens?:

Whatever answered her expected an answer back. "I'm not really sure.
Not something good anyway. Why do you ask?"

:The Digidestined will gave to be closer than ever to corrected the
wrongs done this time, yet you have no time left to waste. Lay
differences aside and begin. Take these. You will know who to give
them to when the time goes. Now go.:

A crystal sachet lay on the ground between Reliana and a T.V. The
sachet contained two figures, a ladybug-like creature recognizable as
a Tentomon, as well as a dinosaur-like creature resembling an Agumon
with ice-like stripes.

Taking the sachet, Reliana activated her digivice and held it near the
T.V.
