“Is this the end Kai?”
“Yes, I think it is Ele.”

Frowning at those words, Ele whipped around and dug in her heel-skidding to a halt while sending up a dust cloud behind her. Her eyes landed on the other three members of her group. Her best friends were in danger and here she was running away.

The blue in her eyes intensified, hardening to stone in resolution. Running away solved absolutely nothing, and worse still, it was cowardly. If there was one thing Ele hated more then anything, it was a coward. Honor would not let her become what she hated, nor would it let her leave the others.

“Hold my bag Tweedle-dumbest, I'm going in.” She didn't look back as she slapped her bag into Kai's hands and put her goggles on. Demi and Snow perched on either shoulder as she faced off with the monster.

“First off, that name's gonna be yours here in a minute if you think you can take him on. Secondly, you're not alone.” Kai placed the bag of food at the base of the tree then stepped up beside her. She tilted her head to glance at him sideways, but smirked at the comment. Patamon, Snow, and Demi didn't look away from the other digimon who was busy trying to pull his sword from yet another tree.

“Let's show this dung for brains why we're the best tag team on the soccer field.” Elessa grinned and pointed at the ball on the other side of the clearing. She wasn't sure how it got there, but she hazard that Andrew had brought it with him for an “after mall” game.

Kai only grinned mischievously in response, making a mad dash at the digimon who was only a moment away from pulling his sword free. If he didn't get to the ball they would be in trouble again. Also being on the track team, the raven haired boy executed a brilliant high jump over the samurai digimon's shoulder then kicked off from it's back. Doing a summer salt, twisting in mid air to land facing towards the ball, he made a perfect landing and hit the ground running. Pounding over to the ball.

“Pfft, show off.” Elessa smirked and hunkered down for the offensive attack.

“What are you guys doing?! We've got to get out of here!” Andrew shouted, totally positive that his friends had lost their minds. Ele glanced at him then at Chris helping Colline to her feet from the corner of her eye. The other girl was still crying and trying to keep Biyomon from falling out of her arms.

“I can't do that Andy.” She calmly shouted back, once again turning to face their enemy.

“HEADS UP SKYLARK!” Kai yelled from across the clearing, kicking the ball high into the sky as he did so. Elessa's head snapped up to watch the air borne ball for a moment then started running all out. She and Kai were always on the same teams since grade school, so like Kai she jumped onto the Samurai's shoulders then kicked off straight up into the air. Once air borne herself she flipped upside down and executed a perfect round house kick on the ball, shooting it like a rocket at the digimon's head.

Time seemed to stop.

While everyone was watching Ele, their digimon partners-including Snow and Demi, gathered to the Samurai. The second after the ball hit they attacked in near perfect sync.

“SPIRAL TWISTER!”“BOOM BUBBLE-PAH!”“PEPPER BREATH!”
“LOP TWISTER!”“PUPPY HOWLING!”“PUPPY PUNCH!”

The group watched as the attacks had as little effect as last time. Kai, however, was waiting. Once the ball ricocheted back to him, as he knew it would, he sent it right on back. This time aiming at the tree branch above the large digimon. The rather large branch broke from the ball's velocity and fell onto the digimon with a loud 'thunk'

Elessa watched the progression of the ball carefully while free falling up side down and sent it hurtling at yet another thick branch. A second 'thunk' sounded just seconds after the first. The goggled girl finished her landing ungracefully by flipping at the last second and falling on her backside. The next moment she fell on her back and laid there out of breath and puffing.

Ele raised on hand, index pointing at the sky above, “Anyone get the number of that bus?” Once said the hand fell back to the earth. Kai who was holding his knees and bent over to catch his breath started laughing and fell to all fours. Lacking strength as well, he ended up on his back on the grass a few yards away from Ele.

“Whoa, can we say 'close call' children?” He laughed in puffs, still a little out of breath.

“You two are crazy you know that?” Chris and Agumon appeared over Kai with a cheesy grin on his face.

“That was too close, we nearly lost our partners.” Colline sniffled, responding from nearby.

'Probably helping Biyomon.' Ele thought with a soft smile. “Hey at least it worked. Call me crazy all you like but we did knock him out.” She sighed contently, the smile spreading to become a Cheshire grin.

“Barely, now come on guys, we better get out of here before Mr. Grouchy wakes up.” Andrew was already scavenging what was left of their camp.

“Are you ok mine?” Snow looked down at her chosen partner in concern.

“Yes, I'm fine Snow. Just tired and out of breath.” Ele smiled to try to reassure the little digimon.

“That was totally wicked!” Demi spun in place then flopped down next to Ele. “How did you do that?” Grinning like mad the twin laughed merrily.

“Oh, that? We came up with that play back in middle school, though not quite at that hight.” Ele laughed despite herself. “To this day only the two of us can pull it off.”

“Yeah, I remember that. That's how she got the nick name Skylark, because she was always in the air. They made our team unbeatable.” Chris while wrapping Agumon's arm.

“So they used to do that all the time?” Lopmon looked up at Andrew who nodded.

“Yep, it was pretty spectacular. This year they decided to take a short break so they wont be playing.” He answered while picking up the last bag.

“The couch nearly had a heart attack, but they promised to be back next year.” Colling giggled after inspecting Biyomon's wing to make sure the nick hadn't gone too deep.

“Sounds like fun.” Patamon laughed from his place near Kai's head.

“Oh it was, they called me Skylark, but Kai over there was known as Jumpin' Jack Flash.” Ele giggled, still laying on her back but starting to feel better.

“SHOOSH YOU!” Kai sat straight up, pointing his finger menacingly at Ele who only smirked.

“Come on you guys, that thing isn't going to stay down forever you know.” Andrew sighed, gathering up Ele's bag from the tree before wandering back over to them.

“Indeed.” A soft feminine voice chuckled. All at once everyone was up and in defense stance. No one moved a muscle, giving the clearing the silence of a grave. Sweat began trickling out among them from the suspense. They could almost feel each other groaning inside. If they just barely beat the last guy what about this one?

The soft rustling of wind in the trees did not comfort Ele as it usually would. Instead it set her nerves a blaze and brought the feeling of the calm before the storm. It was nearly tangible and an all together unnerving sensation. One she rather didn't like.

Swallowing the hard lump caught in her throat, Ele pulled down her goggles to get a better look around her. When she still saw no one the fear spiked, nearly forcing her to step back.

They had come this far, this was not the time to back out.

Fighting back the fear she stepped foreword, calling out to the being who had spoken. “Who's there?! Show yourself at once!” She used every once of courage she could muster to take another hesitant step foreword. Nothing but finding out who this was mattered, her world was narrowed to this one thing. Her body trembled like an over stretched harp-string as her heart sped up - pounding against her rib cage like a frightened bird.

“You've got spirit, I like that.” A warm smile could be felt in the voice as it once again spoke up. “Very well, if you must see me . . .” She laughed gently, lie the sound of a bubbling brook over water worn pebbles.

In a swirl of leaves a young woman stepped out from a nearby tree to their immediate left. She wore flowing black robes with a creme colored sash about her waist. Her rather long chocolate brown hair was tied up in a pony-tail high on her head. She had straight bangs like a dolls and her dark moss green eyes sparkled with both amusement and wisdom. Around her neck were two thin inner-locking hoops on a plain silver chain.

“I am Gemini, it is a pleasure to finally meet you Digidestined.” She gave a small bowing curtsy, flashing them such a warm smile that they all instantaneously dropped their guard and relaxed.

“Er, ok . . . who are you and what do you want with us?” Colline raised a brow and stepped foreword hesitantly, holding Biyomon protectively.

“I have already answered 'who' but to elaborate-I am one of the digital guardians who protect this world. We have been awaiting your arrival for a very long time now.”

“I've heard of you, you and the other eleven have been watching over the digital world since the beginning.” Patamon tilted his head at the 'young' woman.

“Yes, yes. . . we may not be digimon but we too are reconfigured once we . .. err, die so to speak.” She crossed her arms and smiled blithely at the young digimon.

“If you're a guardian then . . . is there a way to help Biyomon? She got the worst of that thing's attack.” Andrew asked, concern causing him to frown, while pointing back at

“Ah, loyalty such a wonderfully refreshing attribute. Yes, Andrew I can heal Biyomon, but first let us away before Musyamon reawakens. Come children this way if you please. I will answer all other question once we are to safety.” Gemini turned, and what could only be described as 'glided' away. She didn't actually seem to 'walk' as her foot steps were so smooth as to be motionless.

“What was that thing?” Ele asked as she started walking right behind the guardian.

“Musyamon. He was created from the data produced by your game system when you were brought here.” Gemini frowned very slightly while looking suspiciously around.

“WHA?!” Kai stopped mid-stride in absolute shock. “I put a lot of time into that thing!” He pouted but started walking again. The others snickered lightly but said nothing outright.

“Are we going far?” Chris couldn't help himself. He watched the ground as he walked, stepping over the large rocks or branches that would have other wise caused him to trip.

“Not far, now please-no more questions for now.” Gemini seemed weary of the forest around them. Before they knew it the sky was stained pink, peach, and orange with the rising of the sun. They all groaned as one by one they noticed the rays of light filtering through the forest canopy and the usual morning noises picked up in tempo. No one had gotten much sleep due to Musyamon's ambush.

“FOOD!” Kai dramatically fell face first into the dried up leaf bed of the forest floor when his stomach growled loud enough for all to hear. Rolling her eyes and heaving a tired sigh. Ele walked over and handed him her bag. Kneeling in front of him to hand it to him.

“You know . . . eh forget it, I'm too tired to think of anything that would be worth saying.” Ele brushed herself off as she stood back up. “No I take that back, you have a black hole for a stomach. Now get up and start walking before I tie you up to something and drag you along. Eat on the way, just get up for pity's sake . . . drama king.” She smirked and laughed quietly as she turned around and started walking again.

“Ooooo, feisty!” Kai mimicked a cat clawing something then laughed and followed suit.

“You and your food I swear.” Andrew laughed holding a sleeping Lopmon in his arms.

“What? I like to eat!” Kai raised a brow in mild confusion at the other teen.

“Andy, my friend, it's a lost cause. You'll never get through that thick head of his. All he thinks about now is food.” Chris put a hand on Andrew's shoulder and sighed in defeat.

“That's for sure.” Agumon giggled quietly from his spot next to Chris's side.

“JUDAS! EXPLAIN YOU'RE TREACHORY!!” Kai clutched the food bag to his chest in one hand and pointed accusingly at Chris as he suddenly spun around to face them. The other two guys just laughed, not missing a step in the exchange-sliding on by him.

The two girls didn't even look back, but couldn't help but mutter 'men' quietly under their breaths together. They shot each other a small smile then yawned in unison and continued to silently follow the digital guardian.

They were dead on their feet by the time they finally got to the small cottage propped against a mountain side. At the sight of finally reaching their destination they all fell to the ground with groans of exhaustion. They couldn't believe it was nearly noon.

“Eat and sleep. You'll have your answers when you've rested.” Gemini led them inside where they found a row of beds awaiting them. Without eating they collapsed onto the beds and were immediately asleep. Digimon partners included. All but one pair who sat and watched the others.

“Go on, you're all safe here.” Gemini smiled gently at the girl. Ele looked over her posse and sighed.

“They all worked so hard, I feel like I barely did anything.” Her eyes shinning for a moment as she explained.

“That's not enough sleep talking. Now get some rest, you have to be strong to lead this group if you want to keep it intact. Besides, Snow and Demi wont sleep unless you do.” Gemini ruffled the girl's short blue-black hair, watched her nod, and finally lay down. Like the rest she was instantly asleep once her head hit the pillow. The puppies smiled at the guardian and curled up in a ball, cuddled next to their partner on either side.

It was a beautiful lie, they would have slept without her in the end but then they would have felt guilty about it.

“Oh glorious food!” Kai exaggerated as he stared with his mouth watering at the large table of edible food stuffs.

“Uh, Kai . . . whip the drool from your mouth, the food's not going anywhere.” Andrew crossed his thick arms and smirked, leaning on the door frame.

“Move it muscle boy!” Colline giggled as she shoved past Andrew to hurry to the table. Kai following after.

“Wait, she's picking on someone other then Kai? I was sure he was our official scape goat.” Chris laughed while moving into the room himself to regard the strawberry blond with amusement.

“Yep, that is strange, we usually - . . . FOOD!” Ele had her eyes closed as she walked in, but as soon as she opened them and saw all the food she executed a Kai and bolted for the table. Chris and Andrew could only stare in mute shock watching the other three fill their plates. Slowly Andrew uncrossed his arms and Chris shook his head in disbelief.

“I do believe I hear a tortuous singing. . .” Chris commented dumbly, unable to remove his eyes from the black and blue clad female.

“Is it just me, or is the sky green outside that window?” Andrew pointed to the only window in the room. The sky was perfectly blue.

“You two going to eat or stand around staring all day?” Ele raised a brow at the guys still standing by the door. As she watched, their digimon partners all stumbled through the door, yawning and half asleep.

“I feel like I left my brain on the pillow.” Demi shook herself before climbing on to Ele's lap, causing the girl to laugh quietly in response.

“Can we eat now mine?” Snow jumped to Ele's shoulder and looked at the delicious smelling food before her.

“Of course.” Ele nuzzled Snow a moment before setting her on the table.

“How ya feeling Bi?” Colline asked the little pink bird as she helped her onto her green, gold, and blue gypsy skirted lap. Biyomon snuggled close to her white tank top and smiled.

“Much better thanks to Gemini.” Colline smiled back in relief, eyes a liquid aqua from unshed tears.

“I'm glad.” She replied quietly, cuddling her partner close as if afraid she'd disappear at any second.

“You hungry Agumon?” Chris pulled his hands out of his jeans to point at the table while grinning down at his partner. The answering growl made everyone look their way and start laughing.

“Maybe just a little bit.” The orange dinosaur laughed nervously.

“Come one.” Chris was still laughing as he lead them to the empty seats.

“What about you Lopmon?” Andrew unfolded his arms from around his red t-shirt yet again, brows furrowed in worry. Lopmon had a look that said he was either sick or would soon be.

“Um, no, I think I'll pass this time thanks.” The little bunny grimaced as he watched the other partners scarfing down the food like there was no tomorrow. Andrew began to sweat a little once he turned to look at his friends.

“Actually . . . I'm not that hungry either.” He commented nervously, rubbing his palms against his black dickies.

“You should eat to regain your strength.” A voice from behind made them jump. “Jumpy little mice aren't we?” Gemini giggled girlishly while pushing past them. Andrew and Lopmon sighed grudgingly but followed slowly behind. Snagging the last two seats they all turned to view Gemini in her flowing black robes.

“You have many questions. I will answer what I can. Be warned, however, that I might not be able to answer at all.” Gemini sat at the head of the table and steepled her fingers. She leaned foreword, placing her elbows on the table, to look at each child in turn.

“Gemini . . . I was wondering. If this is a digital world then, you and everything else are -simply put- data, correct?” Chris decided, after seeing no one else was going to take this opportunity to speak, to break the silence and try to sedate his curiosity. After all, if curiosity killed the cat, it was satisfaction that brought him back.

“In a matter of speaking, that is true. But it's more like we are data that has been has been compressed then brought to life.” Gemini leaned back in her chair, lacing her fingers over her abdomen. His shirt had caught her attention while he spoke ands she found it quite amusing. The black shirt had what looked like a hand written sign on the front that read 'Gone To My Happy Place'. She had to raise a hand to her mouth to cover the grin tugging at her lips and to suppress the giggles threating to escape her mouth.

“And you don't actually 'die' right?” Andrew caught on and threw in a question of his own. Gemini turned her moss colored eyes on the teen. She gave him a small smile and inclined her head.

“Yes. We in the Digi-world are reconfigured when we 'die' and reborn in Primary Village. Although the village has been destroyed along with much of the Digi-world.” Gemini closed her eyes, sighing quietly. Waves of sadness were rolling off of the guardian that the kid were able to pick up on it.

“So . . . no one can be reborn until it's fixed right? Who would do such a thing?” Colline's eyes sparkled, the bright aqua color liquefied with unshed tears. They others gave her a worried look, she hadn't always been so sensitive.

“There is a group similar to yours but dark. They have hacked the Digi-world and implanted viruses. These new viruses have deleted parts of the Digi-world, left others completely destroyed, and the rest in total chaos.” Gemini tilted her head at the girl as she spoke. They seemed interested in helping . . . if only . . .

“That's why we were brought here isn't it?” Elessa was looking at the food on her plate. Her eyes such an intense blue now that they resembled lapis lazuli

'It seems the more her blood boils the more blue appears in her eyes. Such a strange child.' Gemini thought to herself while considering her answer. She tapped her chin with her index in thought.

“I would have to assume so. Digidestined are only chose when there is a serious need for them.” She answered with another sigh. 'for now anyway', she added mentally.

“how are we supposed to defeat this group. They've got a lot more experience then us.” Kai paused with a rice ball at his mouth.

“Viral Omega does have more experience, yes. That does not mean you can't beat them. As a matter of fact, if you can find Piximon, I am sure he could help. He is the best trainer you could find.” She smiled at that, reassuring this small group of teens. “Not only that, but there are other groups who are scatter about. You, however, are the Alphas. It will be up to you to not only find Piximon who will train you, but the other eleven guardians who will give you their power to strengthen you and your partners. Some of us also have what are called 'crests' for you, though who has who's is a mystery. It is all us guardians can do, we are rather limited on what we can do and say. You'll have to forgive me but that's all I can tell you about us.”

The group sat in silence after that. No one moved to continue eating, digesting all this new information instead. It was a heavy burden they bore. They not only had to fix up the Digi-world, but find eleven guardians and defeat a group of unknown enemies who were the cause of this whole mess in the first place. That fates had a rather tasteless sense of humor it seemed.

“So . . . we're not alone?” Elessa was the first to speak, lifting her now normal white-blue eyes to the guardian who nodded gently. “Why are we the Alphas?” She couldn't help but ask the next. Snow and Demi had their eyes trained on the woman at the head of the table, waiting for the answer.

Gemini tilted her head in amusement at the girl then removed the inner locking hoops from around her pale neck and placed it in Ele's fingerless gloved hands.

“Because you are the strongest.”
