Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Digital Trilogy - Episode 6 - Meandering Pathways ❯ Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Sora sat in a tree looking around. It was the same park where Tai first saw Allura with Tanemon, and where Kelryn was kidnapped, and where the alphas had a meeting earlier. Sora liked climbing trees. Everyone told her it wasn't lady-like, but she didn't give a damn. She liked it, and she was going to do it. Izzy had climbed the tree with her; he was still small enough to be able to do it without many problems. Joe and Tai sat on a picnic table under them.

"Nice day?" Joe asked.

"Yeah, but there's a storm coming." Sora said.

"Sky looks clear." Izzy said.

"I meant a war. I've been talking with Yolei and Kari, and it doesn't look good for our little friends," she said.

"Kovin and Kelryn are stressed beyond belief," Tai said. "TK and Kari want to go off on some vendetta, and Ken and Yolei want to go on a suicide mission into the watchers."

"What about Allura?" Joe asked.

"Every time we talk to her she hangs up the phone or leaves. She just doesn't want to fight," Izzy said. Joe thought of Mimi.

"Reminds me of her sister," he said.

"We were protecting the city three times longer then they have, is there anything we can do?" Tai asked.

"I don't think so," Sora said. "We're just normal humans now, without our digimon we're useless."

"Not quite," another voice said. The four turned to see another girl had come up and sat down without them noticing. She had straight rusty hair halfway down her back. Izzy was obviously smitten with her and perhaps in another story he could be with her.

"Who are you?" Tai asked.

"It doesn't matter," she said. "No one is useless. Everyone does have a useful attribute, it's just finding out what it is."

"Very nice, but you don't know anything about our situation." Sora said.

"Perhaps not. I may know nothing about what the four of you are discussing. It could be anything, teenage pregnancy, drug overdose, you feel the environment is going to hell, you're worried about spousal violence, the alpha Guardians could be splitting up, or maybe it's the economy that has you worried?" The four of them just starred at her dumbfounded, they had no idea why she knew about the digidestined.

"Are you a digidestined?" Joe asked.

"I've got a destiny like anyone else, it may or may not have anything to do with the digimon. Just because I know about them and you doesn't mean I have a digimon."

"So you're a watcher then?" Izzy asked.

"Anyone with a pair of eyes can watch anything, so that's a stupid statement."

"So are you here to tell us something or hear us tell you something?" Tai asked. "And since you're not saying a bloody thing I expect you want information from us."

"On the contrary my former goggle-boy. I want to tell you something. Rather, I'd like to connect the dots between facts you already know." They didn't reply and just waited for this mysterious girl to speak. "Kovin is older than Tai, but not by much. He seems to like using force at the moment, and I bet the four of you could out do him and Kelryn in hand to hand. If all they understand is force, talk in their language."

"You think we should attack them?" Sora asked.

"I think confining them in one place and talking some sense to them would to a world of good," she said.

"How do we know we can trust you?" Joe asked.

"You can't," she said, standing to leave. "Just think about it. I know your own digivices have been shattered but it doesn't mean you can't help in a digital war." She turned and started walking away. "Oh yes, since you have been good, I'll answer one of your questions." She reached in her pocket and pulled out a strange looking digivice.

"Is that a digivice? Are You a Guardian?" Izzy asked.

"Yes to the first, no to the second," she said, and was gone as quickly as she had come leaving the four there to think about what they had heard.
