Chapter 14: Confused?
"Hey Matt need a hand?" Tommy asked.
"T-Tommy?" Matt asked staring up at his little brother through his bangs that were pressed against his face.
Tommy helped his brother out of the crater. And Matt hugged him.
"What are you doing?" Tommy asked confused.
"I haven't seen you in over a week, what do you think I'm doing." Matt laughed.
"We'll take care of them Tommy get your brother out of here." Koji said jumping into the crater.
"Right, come on lets go." Tommy stated helping his brother up. "I know your tired Matt but can you keep going?" He questioned.
"Yea I think so." Matt answered. Tommy could tell he was beat but he started running.
Zoë, Noelle, and Kaylee took out their d-tectors.
"Execute, Beast Spirit Evolution!" They shouted in unison.
"Zerphrymon."
"Ciceromon."
Ciceromon, Noelle's beast spirit had dark purple hair, with neko ears to match it, and light blue eyes. She wears a dark purple and silver tank top under a deep brown zipper t- shirt and tight dark purple shorts. Her hands are wrapped in brown cloth from the wrist up to just below her elbow, under a purple and silver hand guard. Her legs are wrapped in the same brown cloth from her ankles to her upper calf. She wears purple and silver shoes. Her hair is braided, nails extract for some attacks. Her pupils slit like a cats' and on her hand guards in black is the symbol of sound.
"Miragemon."
Miragemon has jade green hair and emerald eyes. She wears a tight green tank top with black trimming, black and sea green wrist guards, a sea green skirt that slits from thighs down on both sides. Her skirt goes down to mid- calf over black spandex shorts, she has an emerald covered belt that holds up her skirt. The symbol of sight is tattooed on her shoulder. Strapped to her belt is a sword. The swords blade is green and the handle is green with black and white petals. She doesn't wear shoes. Miragemon has sea green feather like wings. Bright sea weed is tangled in her wings and hair.
"Slice and dice!" Ciceromon shouted swinging her claws at Grumblemon.
"You missed, me think you not good at this." Grumblemon laughed jumping out of the way.
"Try this on for size Mirage Jems!" Miragemon shouted pulling her sword out and swinging it in mid air. Sharp light green jewel shards flew down at them.
"Zoë go and help Tommy!" Koji ordered.
"All right." Zerphrymon answered flying away.
"I've got this one." Renamon smirked going after Zerphrymon.
"No you don't!" Agunimon interupted running after them.
Out of the group of 8 only 5 were left to fight Grumblemon and Aboremon that shouldn't be to hard right?
"Snake eye Break!" Grumblemon shouted. The ground shuck and started breaking under there feet.
Dust shot up, once it cleared they were no where to be found.
Later on that day the group took Matt back to the castle. He didn't say a word to anyone while they were going to the castle.
"Matt do you know where the other three went?" Noelle asked walking beside him.
Matt stared down at the ground.
"We're here." Koji stated walking into the castle.
Someone was waiting for them.
"Wizardmon? What are you doing here? I thought you were at the Forest terminal." Takuya said looking at wizardmon.
"Lady Ophanimon went ahead to the forest terminal and wants you to be at the terminal in a week." Wizardmon answered.
"A week? How are we going to get there in three days Trailmon don't even come through here!" Zoë questioned.
"You have a week." He repeated then walked away.
"Come on we better get moving if we want to make it there on time." Takuya stated turning around.
They walked out side Koji and Takuya beast spirit evolved, Zoë, J.P, and Kaylee spirit evolved. Koichi and Noelle climbed on Beowolfmon, and Tommy and Matt got on Burning Graymon then they left.
"Last time it took us almost a month to just get here to the dark contident and they want us to get to the forest terminal in a week… how are we going to do that?" Tommy questioned.
"Last time we were looking for our spirits and beast spirits I'm sure we can get there in a week… or two… maybe." Kazemon answered.
Later on that night…
They were sitting by the fire talking in little groups. Matt was leaning against the tree away from the group. Tommy stood up but Koichi stopped him.
"Let me talk to him remember I've been in the same situation before." Koichi stated.
"Thank you Koichi." He replied sitting back down. Koichi walked over to Matt.
"Go away." Matt muttered.
"What's going on? You haven't said a word to any one all day." Koichi asked sitting down next to Matt.
"I said go away, nothings wrong." Matt replied.
"Well that's bull, everyone knows something's wrong… your lucky Chrubimon let you keep your memories of your brother and your friends." Koichi stated looking up at the three moons.
"What are you talking about?" He questioned looking a Koichi wired.
"The first time I was here I didn't get here by trailmon or the internet I missed the elevator and started down the stairs but I slipped the next thing I remembered was I was fighting Beowolfmon." Koichi answered.
"Sounds like you had a hard time, but I can asure you I'm nothing like you." Matt stated standing up and walking away.
"Do you have to be such a rude jerk? All he was trying to do was help!" Tommy shouted.
"What would he care? He doesn't know what I'm going threw!" Matt exclaimed.
"Actually he does. He was telling you the truth Matt, he went through even more pain and suffering then you can imagine." Koji stated watching the fire in front of him.
Matt looked away.
"I really don't care if you think that you have had a hard life, get over it and move on… the past is the past you can't change what happens." Noelle stated.
"All right I get it, Koichi had a hard life and I shouldn't complain about mine…" He stated walking away from the group.
"Wait… Matt-!"
"Let him go Tommy… he'll be back, he has no where else to go." J.P. stated pulling Tommy back down gently.
Tommy sighed keeping his eyes on the place where Matt had disappeared into the darkness. "…Alright."
"Everyone should get some rest we have a lot of distance to cover tomorrow." Noelle stated lying down on her back and closing her eyes.
Everyone did the same and went to sleep.
