Now then. Shame on you if you don't have a vague idea about what happened in chapter 1. In chapter 2, we were attacked by a 'chaos clone', sent by a rouge Spirit Lines caretaker. Matt was still a vampire so that wasn't a problem. Sphinikmon used the spirit lines to transport us to Dr. Alma's surgery were Taichimon recovered and Matt collapsed! Taichimon turned out to be a mixed up kid instead of an evil Digimon. Matt recovered and Dr. Alma gave us some Mana eggs, so I'm off to see what I can do with them.
"Aelinee...I don't think you should buy magic with those."
"Hmm?"
"You know you can use them differently don't you. You know what being a Prophet is about and everything don't you? How come you know?"
"I just know....these Mana Eggs...I can use one like a Sailor Senshi morphing pen can't I?"
"As a Prophet, you can do a lot if you put your mind to it. Prophets have unbelievable control over magic in their set of dimensions."
"I won't be allowed into any dimensions where there are other Prophet's is that right?"
"It depends if the particular Prophet needs help and asks you for it. Go on then. What do you think you have to do as a Prophet? We both know you'll get it right."
"Well...I'm in these dimensions to help. I have to protect the important people as much as I can. I'll be able to gather powers as I go along...Do you think Elle will meet up with me at some point?"
"If your paths cross. Where have Matt and Taichi gone? We need to leave soon. Why don't you try out your 'morphing pen' theory while we're waiting?"
"There's no point."
"Aww go on."
"No."
"You know you want to."
"Quit it! When there's a point I will. There's no point in wasting energy."
"Spoil sport"
I could see another argument coming but luckily Matt and Taichi came back. Matt looked pointedly at the eggs
"Wern't you going to buy something with those? We can't eat them so you might as well buy whatever it is you buy with them."
"Um...well...they'll be useful in other ways."
"Like?"
"Sailor Moon-type junk good enough for you?"
"Don't mess about."
"What's a Sailor Moon-type junk?"
"I'm not."
"Go on then. Prove it." Matt was looking amused again. It was starting to annoy me. Earlier he'd been looking amused when I was being useless at using chopsticks. Luckily the inn also had knives and forks.
"Fine then if you don't believe me. And stop looking so darn amused."
"Yeah, fine.'No point in wasting energy' my paws. You're just showing off because you want to impress Matt. Well what're you waiting for?"
I looked hard at the Mana Egg in my hand. It was more like a large, smooth, shiny pebble than an egg. It had become different to the other egg I had. It had gone a pale purple insead of blue. I felt stupid doing this right now, but I had to test if it worked. If it didn't it'd be a disaster for it to not work when we needed it to. I mouthed the words, closed my eyes and threw it above my head
"Rhea Mana Power! Make up!!"
When I opened my eyes I could feel a breeze against my legs...everyone was staring at me in amazement. I looked down at myself. I was wearing...nothing! No wonder they were all staring!! (Sorry, I couldn't help myself) Only kidding. I was wearing a Sailor Senshi costume(Well what did you think I was going to be wearing? A pikachu costume?). Sorry to disappoint you all. =P
"Nice outfit. It looks just like your picture."
I turned round. There was a man with long blonde hair watching us. He seemed familiar. He also looked rather amused.
"Why does everyone find me so darn amusing?! Who the heck are you anyway?! What picture?! Hey you kinda look like Colonel Mullen y'know that?"
"But you are amusing. You're cute when you're angry. Here."
He handed me a rose.
"You sweet talking little....sweet talking little..? Krai?!!"
"That's right. What are you doing here?"
"I might ask you the same question."
"......."
"......."
"......."
"Hi there Krai."
"Hi Sphinikmon."
Sphinikmon put her tongue out at me.
"You've got a lot of explaining to do, young lady. Isn't it freezing in that skimpy skirt?"
"It is actually. Anyone know how I un-morph?"
"Don't look at me."
"So....who's this guy and why do you know him Miss Aelina?"
"Krai is one of my best e-friends. He lives in Glouster. Not near Glasgow like I thought."
"So...you know about Digi-world as well?"
"And you're a Prophet? Else you wouldn't be here."
"I don't know anything about this Prophet stuff... "
AND I DON'T PLAN ON LETTING YOU FIND OUT. THE MORE PROPHETS THAT REALISE THEY ARE, THE MORE DIFFICULT IT WILL BE FOR ME TO SUCCEED. SO I WILL DESTROY YOU BOTH NOW, BEFORE YOU HAVE CHANCE TO AWAKEN YOUR POWERS ANY FURTHER!
Six more Chaos Clones materialised in front of us. A Kari Chaos Clone was missing and of course, Taichimon. He stood poised ready to fight.
YOU!! HOW DARE YOU BETRAY ME! I CREATED YOU!
"You didn't even give me a name. You would have left me to die by that rock."
I CREATED YOU AND NOW I SHALL DESROY YOU! CHAOS CLONES! ATTACK!
The clones took on a formation and advanced. Sphinikmon started yelling orders
"Aelina NOW! Use your powers NOW!"
"NO!!"
"Taichi?"
"Let me talk to them first! Let me try and talk them out of it!"
"Alright who are you and what have you done with our Tai?"
"That's not Tai, remember."
"Oh yeah. Carry on."
Taichi swung round to face them and started to shout
"You don't have to do what she says! Think about it!"
Yamatomon stepped forward.
"Our purpose is to fight. So we fight for our mistress because she made us what we are."
Sphinikmon was whispering at me
"Gather your energy...we may have to beat them to make them see."
I concentrated on my right hand. I could feel the invisible power gathering round it. It felt like heat and mild pins and needles. But it was getting worse and I knew I couldn't hold it for long. Taichi had taken a defensive position and all the clones leapt forward. Sphinikmon didn't even need to tell me
"MANA" I threw my hand up above my head and greenish blue energy crackled around me in a spiral. I aimed my hand straight at the clones
"TWISTER!"
A spiral of light enveloped the clones and flung them up in the air. When they hit the ground, Sphinikmon finished them off.
"Flare Arrows!" The clones were collapsed on the floor. This was our only chance to prove we were better than the rouge caretaker, whoever she was.
"If I cast a healing spell on you will you attack us again?"
"Maybe."
"Don't be so stubborn! I'll cast one anyway. Unlike you, I don't have a choice." This spell casting stuff was easy for me. I just thought of what I wanted to do and gave it a name.
"Mana Healing Breeze!"
The clones got up and looked upset. They sat crossed legged and looked at us. Yamatomon spoke to us.
"I apologize. We should have listened."
"That's O.K. One thing I hate about the human race is that they don't listen."
"You hate the human race Ae?"
"Humans suck, take it from me."
"Aww they don't. You're exagerating."
"You haven't been to highschool."
Matt hadn't said a single thing since I morphed.
"How did you do that? How did you know what moves you could do?"
"I made it up as I went along."
"Aelina I'm serious!"
"You think I'm joking? I mean it. I just made it up! All I know is that I needed the power...and it was there. I guess it's like a digivolution. I needed to attack, so I could attack. I needed to heal, so I could heal."
"Are you even human?!"
"Of course I am! What kind of stupid question is that?!"
"It's not stupid at all! Like that comment you just made! 'One thing I hate about the human race'! And all that about all your power and it being like a digivolution. Humans can't do that."
"Like I said to Taichi, you don't have to believe me. I understand that you're freaked out and everything.."
"You're not telling me everything! What's going on?"
"Why wouldn't I tell you everything? What possible reason could I have?"
"I don't know because you won't tell me!"
"Matt...I don't even know myself. I'm not even clear about why that mad woman is after me. This is no time to fight. We've practically got our own army...that is, if you'll all help us."
I looked at all the chaos clones. They all stood up and nodded.
"Well we should go. C'mon Matt. We have to get you back to the others."
"Huh? You have to get me back to the others? You're not coming?"
"You don't trust me. That means we can't even be friends."
The 'even' part slipped past him to my relief.
"But you're a digidestined. If the digidestined are split up the two worlds won't be in harmony with each other! Gennai told us that! I bet you know that!"
"You're right. I know that."
"So...as a 'Prophet' or whatever you are, you have to come!"
I glared at him. I was shaking with rage
"Don't...don't start using that against me now! How dare you use it against me when you've just accused me of not telling you everything!"
"......"
"Please stop!"
I looked around sharply with blurred eyes at....T.K. The T.K. chaos clone was holding my hand. He looked up at me
"Please don't fight. There's been too much fighting already."
I hadn't seen T.K. with the other clones when they came forward. The clones did seem to have the same type of personalities as the humans they resembled. So Takerumon would hate fighting just like T.K.
I sank to my knees. I was trying my best not to sob. I could hardly breathe. Sphinikmon crept onto my knee just like my cat. I hugged her and cried into her fur.
