Don’t own

Card Crossed

Chapter 4

Ken and Tai just stared in disbelief at the quiet girl in front of them, her vacant eyes staring intently at them.

“Tsuki what the hell are you talking about Tsuki, drastic measures that’s rich.” Said Tai

“I was not joking if you continue to resist I will use force.” Tsuki stated flatly.

“Is that a challenge, I think we’ll take it right Leormon.” Ken boasted proudly at the prospect of a fight.

“Yeah I’ll tear that rabbit to shreds.” Growled Leormon

“I will not let you threaten Mistress in this fashion.” Lekismon said defiantly in defense of her partner.

“Stand down Lekismon.”

“Yes Mistress.” And the Champion digimon relaxed.

“You would do well to relax Ken, my partner is a higher level and yours is exhausted from the confrontation with KnightChessmon, all I ask is that you follow me.”

“Hey Ken maybe we should hear her out, she’s a Tamer too.” Tai said trying to calm the older boy.

“Yeah fighting will get us nowhere.” Chirped Dorumon, Ken contemplated for a moment before relaxing.

“Fine we’ll go.” Relented Ken. “So where are we going?”

“Follow me if you will.” Tsuki said blankly. “Lekismon.”

“Yes Mistress.” The rabbit Champion gathered a ball of water in her hands and threw it into the air over the school. “Moon Night Bomb.” The water ball exploded and strange mist surrounded the school.

“Very good Lekismon your services are no longer required.” Lekismon nodded and jumped into the air and in a flash of light transformed into a much smaller rabbit digimon with a strange antenna of hair, she landed in the outstretched arms of Tsuki.

“Whoa.” Exclaimed Tai as he pulled out his Digivice and set it to scan mode. “Lunamon, a Rookie level digimon born from moon watching data, attacks are Luna Claw, Tear Shot and Lop Ear Ripple.”

“Now that everything is ready please we must head back to the school.”

“Are you insane, just waltz in there with digimon in tow so the whole place sees, I know you’re weird Tsuki but this is crazy.” Chided Ken

“Please do not speak such hurtful words to Mistress.” Chirped Lunamon angrily

“It is okay Lunamon, I am used to it.” Tsuki said in the same monotone voice but one could see the faint glimmer of sadness in her eyes.

“Jeez Ken talk about a downer, besides Moon Night Bomb puts everything to sleep.” Said Tai

“You’re so smart Tai!” Dorumon expressed happily

“Not really, I just checked the scanner.”

“Look can we all just get this over with.” Sighed Ken

“Yeah we’re wasting time.” Growled Leormon, after much dawdling, the group made its way back to the school. And true to Tai’s word everyone in the building had fallen asleep, many students had dropped where they stood.

“In here.” Said Tsuki as she opened the door to the computer lab. It was empty this time of the day with the exception of one person asleep at the desk at the front of the class. Tsuki walked up and shook him gently. “Dr. Nakajima wake up please.”

“Tsuki what are you doing.” Exclaimed Tai at the shock of Tsuki attempting to awaken the AP computer teacher. The man roused from his sleep and opened his eyes and stared at the group of youths and their digimon.

“Well, well why am I not surprised you’re caught up in this Taichi.” Said Dr. Nakajima with a smile on his face. Tai just stared incredulously at his favorite teacher a man in his mid 40’s with graying hair a pair of glasses resting on his face. “And Kenji, anything for a little more excitement in your life.”

“Dr. Nakajima you know about digimon?” asked Tai, the older man laughed while pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

“Of course I do Taichi, 15 years ago I helped create them.” The Dr. said with an air of confidence. “No it’s probably closer to 20 now.”

“You created digimon?”

“Well yes, that and the rest of the Digital World. Well I was a part of the team that created it.”

“Look while this is all interesting, can you please tell me why we were forced to come here.” Yelled Ken

“Forced?” Nakajima looked confused, and then turned to Tsuki. “Tsuki was the reason I was asleep due to Lekismon?”

“Yes, you had to speak with them as soon as possible.” Said Tsuki, the Dr. sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

“Tsuki you must stop taking things so literally.”

“Yes Dr. Nakajima.” She nodded.

“Alright now you are all probably wondering why I wanted speak, well I’ll get right to the point.” He paused momentarily. “All of you have been chosen by the Digital World to be tamers, the reason is that the fate of both worlds is in your hands.”
