ENTER ECLIPSEMON

So dark…….And cold……I feel numb….Where am I?

……It’s coming………

What’s coming?

It……and when it gets here……

But…I don’t understand!

It…is your worst fear…

My….my worst fear? ….That’s not possible……

It will invade your world……

Invade?

And……destroy……everything…you hold dear……

No! Can’t…Can’t I stop it?!

No……It…is coming……Little Princess………

But I don’t understand! Please! Explain this to me! I need to know!

It’s……coming……Little Princess……It’s coming for you…

“I…..I need to know….” Skye cried from her sleep. Her body was covered in sweat…..or was it tears? She felt heavy….like when waking from a morphine induced sleep.

“Skye!” Magimon called rushing to her partners side. “Are you okay?” She asked helping her sit up. Skye stared blankly at the ground, no sound reaching her ears. “Skye,” Magimon repeated. She looked over to her Digimon, a dazed look spread all over her face.

“It’s coming……” She said.

“What?” Asked Foximon concerned. Skye looked to where the voice had come from. Jennifer stood a few feet away, leaning up against a wall while Foximon stood beside her. A wall? Skye looked around utterly confused…… They’d just barely escaped Gwen and her evil Digimon henchmon.

“Tai….” She murmured. “Chelsey…… Erik…… Tommy…..Zoe…….” Images of her friends passed through her mind as she continued saying all of their names. “All of them…..They’re all gone….” She bit her bottom lip as more tears trickled down her hot pink cheeks. “All…………..It……..It came for them……… And I…. I couldn’t stop it….No…..I didn’t TRY to stop it……I ran…….I ran away…..” Her voice cracked as she broke down into sobs, covering her face in her lap. Rocking back and forth in a rhythmic motion uttering words no one could hear.

Magimon shook her head, rubbing Skye’s swaying back soothingly. She had a sad but deep in thought look of concentration on her face.

“I ran away.” Jennifer heard Skye say in desolation. As Jennifer watched the blue haired girl sway and choke on her words she felt a rush of discouraging emotion rush through her.

“Jenn,” Whispered Foximon, sounding distressed a bit herself. “What’s wrong with her?”

Jennifer frowned, not knowing quite what to say. “I think… Well, I’m guessing… that her guilt about splitting up with the others has put her into some sort of…I don’t know…weird state.”

“A temporary skitsophrenic state.” Corrected Magimon, never taking her eyes off of Skye. “It’s a side effect. She’s only experienced it one other time….”

“When?” Asked Jennifer.

“When her mother died.”

“Her mom died?” Jennifer repeated surprised.

“When she was little.” Said Magimon. “So young….It’s such a sad story, but she tells it like it happened to someone else and not to herself.” Magimon seemed to be remembering things in her mind.

“Oh.” Said both Jennifer and Foximon awkwardly. They all noticed how Skye had stopped shaking. She sat now, her palms on her forehead, holding herself steady.

“It…..It happened so long ago……” She struggled to put words together. “I wasn’t even 5 years old…..”

~~FLASH BACK~~

In a pale blue room with yellow stars, on Cheruchii Island a young Skye Galbraith slept in her over sized bed. Her mother sat on the edge of the bed, watching her child’s body rise and fall as she breathed. The scent of her mother’s shampoo, Casablancas drifted through the room.

“Wake up sunshine.” Elizabeth Galbraith’s soft voice called to her sleeping child. The girl had looked so serene she hadn’t wanted to wake her.

“Muma?” The girl mumbled sleepily not opening her eyes.

“Time to get up.” Elizabeth replied. Skye opened her eyes, looking at her mother who’s pale blond hair shone brightly like an angel’s.

“I wanna sleep more.” Said Skye pretending to go back to sleep.

“It’s time to get up sleepy head. You’ve got your first surfing lesson today.” Elizabeth stroked her child’s blue hair.

“Will I get to surf the big waves like you do Muma?”

“Only when you’re older sweetie.” She paused thinking of something. “But for now, you’ll do some small. And I mean VERY small waves. Okay?”

Skye nodded smiling then climbed out of the bed, hopping on to the floor. “Okay! I ready now!”

Her mother laughed quietly. “No, you get into your proper clothes. I’ve got to go pick up a few things on Ekaika. Daddy is in a business meeting so don’t disturb him okay?”

“Okay,” The girl repeated. Her mother walked towards the doorway but stopped when Skye called her. “Hey Muma?”

She turned. “Yes?”

“I’m gonna go to the flower field! I wanna make a special lei for this. So I’ll always remember today. Cos when I’m grow up I’m gonna be a really super good surfer, just like you are!”

Elizabeth smiled warmly at the thoughts of her daughters future. “I know you will sunshine.” And with that she left the room, the scent of casablancas lingering in the room……

~~END OF FLASHBACK~~

“That was the last time I…….I saw her alive…..” Skye said quietly, her tears had stopped. As if she’d wept so much she’d cried all she could.

“I didn’t know….” Said Jennifer uneasily. Skye looked up at her with an odd look in her eyes. Something she’d never seen before that sent chills up her spine. It fade in a moment, but was ingraved in her mind.

“Of course you didn’t. The only people I’ve told the story to so…..so much like a story is Tai……… I told TK a summary of it, but I rarely tell it like that.” She looked around the room. Everything had come back into focus now that the tears had disappeared. They all stood, on the inside of a cave while hot waves flew in from the entrance.

“Where are we?” She asked rising.

“The fire section.” Replied Magimon, understanding her every move. She rose and followed Skye as she walked towards the opening. Only once she’d reached the mouth of the cave did she look back to Jennifer and Foximon.

“Well,” She said. “What are we waiting for?”

~~LATER~~

“This place is crawling with Gwen’s controllers.” Commented Jennifer looking out on the volcanic digi land. It was flat, and covered in hard dark soil. There was a constant sizzling noise of the lava near by.

“Well then, we’d better get down to business then.” Said Skye placidly. She merely nodded to Magimon, who replied with a nod.

“Digi Armour…..Energize!”

“Magimon armour digivolved to……GoldStarmon!”

“Wow,” Said GoldStarmon. “Does it ever feel good to get off the ground!” She flew around in a circle, doing a few tricks in the air. She aimed up her cannon towards the closest Dark Tower.

“Cosmic Cannon!”

The Dark Tower disintegrated revealing a colony of them.

GoldStarmon turned to Foximon. “You’d better digivolve too, Foximon,” Foximon nodded. “Right!”

“Foximon Digivolved to……Glorymon!”

“Come Jenn!” Glorymon said gesturing to a near by Dark Tower.

Suddenly filled with a new sense of hope she smiled for the first time since their last encounter with Gwen. As Skye had said, there was nothing to do with the others gone except draw Gwen out.

She felt her hopes rise with each tower they destroyed. Then, she had the sudden urge to run to the next, and took off towards it, with Glorymon at her side, while Skye and GoldStarmon took their time, talking about something.

It was then it happened. They didn’t even see it coming.

There was a loud cry and the sound of thunder as GoldStarmon was attacked. She feel to the ground, and Skye rushed to her side as she de-digivolved back to Magimon. Skye picked her up in her arms and ran towards Jennifer and Glorymon. But she stopped in her tracks as she saw Ichigomon appear with Gwen.

“Give back our friends Tsukata!” She yelled.

“Ha! Not likely.” Gwen replied scoffing.

“What did you do to them you sick mental freak?” Asked Jennifer.

“I had quite a good time.” She replied easily. “The Digimon are now my slaves, and your friends are my servants. They obey my every word.”

Jennifer let out a gasp, but Skye didn’t believe her. “You’re bluffing.”

Gwen seemed shocked, but covered it in a moment. “Am I? Can you really take that chance?” She taunted.

“You pretend to control all evil,” Said Skye stepping forward. “You claim you’re the almighty of wickedness. But I can see right through you.” Her voice was calm and even. This obviously made Gwen nervous and Jennifer wondered what in the world Skye was doing.

“Oh….Can you?” Gwen replied, trying to appear braver than she looked.

Skye stopped no more than 2 meters away from Gwen and Ichigomon. “Yes.” She answered. “And you’re nothing but a pathetically twisted excuse for a DigiDestined.”

Gwen let out a cry then charged towards Skye furiously. She avoided the collision by jumping high into the air. Jennifer watched amazed, as Gwen stumbled to the ground.

Skye laughed coldly, quite unlike her natural laugh. She had a stern, terrifying look on her face that sent the hairs on the back of Jennifer’s neck standing up. “Is that the best you’ve got?” She called in a voice all but her own. “Come on, try me.”

“Skye!” Jennifer called. “What the hell is your problem?! Back off!”

“Yes Skye,” Said Gwen climbing to her feet. “Listen to your friend.”

“My problem is you, Gwen.” Said Skye. “You pretend to understand everything in the digi world and know everything but in truth you know absolutely nothing about it at all. You couldn’t stand your life without Michitaru so you created a new one as The Digimon Empress, but wherever you go everything is still stained by her death.”

“Skye!” Jennifer tried again. “What are you talking about?!”

“Shut up Jennifer.” She replied. Jennifer gaped for a moment, then realized whatever truce they’d had before. It was broken now.

“No! I won’t shut up! I’m not like everyone else! I won’t do everything as you ‘command’ it.”

“Then go away.” Replied Skye. “If you don’t want to die.”

“No! I want my friends back!”

“Mind your own business!” Skye growled at her. But Jennifer stood her ground. “No! I’m not leaving until the others are freed!”

Unnoticed to them, while the two argued Gwen smiled clutching something in her hand. At this point she laughed loudly.

“You fools!” She called to them. “Can’t you see? I planned this. For weeks you saw nothing of me, and assumed I was defeated! But I’ve been watching you. Studying each of you.”

“You what?!” The two girls said in sync.

“I saw how you two hated each other more than anything. That creates a magnificiant power in your crests and Digimon. You fight constantly, and this time your fighting has cost you your power!”

She thrust her hand into the air revealing her dark gray D3. It began to glow a strangely thick dark gray. The light surrounded the three digimon, Jennifer and Skye watched in horror as both Glorymon and Magimon disappeared.

“Ichigomon digivolved to…...EXICHIGOMON!”

They watched as Ichigomon transformed from an Digimon of almost 6 feet tall to an enormous yellow dragon almost two times their size. Gwen jumped until ExIchigomon and smiled, one eyebrow lifted. “Now who’s more powerful?”

Jennifer stumbled back in fear as Skye stood stunned, her mouth dropped open in shock. “Goodbye, DigiDestined!” Said Gwen.

“Magna Silence!” ExIchigomon growled. A large dark gray ball of energy formed in her open mouth, growing larger and larger.

Gwen’s laugh amongst their screams echoed in Jennifer’s ears as the energy charged them, and swallowed them whole.

~~~~

‘What’s happening?’ Jennifer asked herself. She looked around, she was surrounded in light. ‘Where am I?’

Suddenly, a figure appeared, walking towards her.

“Skye?”

“Jenn, what’s happening?��

“I’m not sure. I figured you’d know. Being the princess and all.” She replied snarkily.

“Listen, just because I’m the Digital Princess doesn’t mean I get all the perks of what goes on.” Skye replied, playing with her gloves.

‘She’s embarrassed.’ Jennifer noted. ‘But why? Because she doesn’t know what’s happening? Is that why?’

“I am not embarrassed!” Skye protested.

“What?”

“You just said I was embarrassed. I’m not.” Skye corrected.

“I…… I didn’t say that.” Jennifer protested.

“Yes you did. I’m positive. I know I heard you.”

Suddenly, Jennifer heard a voice inside her head. Not her own, but Skye’s.

‘Maybe I am going crazy. It seems more logical than anything else……….’

“You’re not going crazy.” She said.

A surprise look of shock appeared on Skye’s face.

“How’d you know I was thinking that?” She asked.

Jennifer shrugged her shoulders. “I dunno……. Hey, do you think maybe we’re reading each other’s thoughts?” She suggested.

“Maybe…….. “ Skye thought for a moment. “But why?”

“Beats me, you’re the almighty princess or whatever, why don’t you ask one of your servants?” Jennifer suggested.

“Oh would you give it up?” Skye asked. “And could you please be civilized for, 5 minutes at least?” She asked.

Jennifer said nothing.

“Listen, it doesn’t matter that I’m the Digi Princess, I still known the same amount of things as you do. I’m exactly the same as you.”

Jennifer sighed. “I know, it’s just that…… It’s hard, having to live up to your high levels when it comes to Matt.”

Skye smiled. “You’ve already gone way passed me.”

Jennifer began to hear a thud. Then more…. What was that noise?

“What’s that?” She asked.

“It sounds like a…. a heart beat….” Commented Skye. Then they both noticed it. They’re tags were both shining brightly. They each held their tags in their hands watching in amazement.

“My crest!” They both gasped together. Suddenly everything went black, and their Digimon appeared.

“GLORYMON!”

“MAGIMON!”

“Alright!” Said Jennifer excitedly.

“Yay! Way to go Magimon and-“ She stopped herself. “I mean Eclipsemon!”

“Let’s go kick some wannabe villain butt!” Said Jennifer.

“You got it!” Agreed Skye.

As they spoke the white mist around them faded and they appeared back in the real world. Gwen looked less than pleased.

“What?!! How is this possible?!” She cried astounded.

“We realized that are arguing got us nowhere. And that United we Stand…..” Began Jennifer.

“Divided we fall!” Skye finished. “Face it Gwen! Alone, you can’t beat us.”

Gwen stood in fright for a few moments, she looked as if she was going to cry, then her face returned to it’s usual anger. “This isn’t possible! The attack hit you-”

“Gosh Gwen,” Said Jennifer. “You should know by now. You can’t get rid of us!” She turned to Eclipsemon. “Do your stuff!”

“Light of Destiny!” Eclipsemon cried. A purplish blue light appeared from her swinging necklace and grew into a large ball that shot out of her hands.

The attack hit ExIchigomon, who stood in front of a large volcano. She de-digivolved back to Kyusukamon and suddenly the volcano began to crack. To their amazement, the others appeared from inside the fake volcano. “Tai! Chelsey!” Skye said excitedly and rushed over to them, hugging each of them tightly. Moments later, while the others were still talking excitedly Skye walked over to where Gwen lay on the ground, Kyusukamon shook her. “Gwen!” Kyusukamon said worried. “Please wake up Gwen!” But the yellow Digimon’s pleas stopped as she realized Skye stood by her. The others gathered around, awaiting what Skye would said.

“When she wakes up, tell her she’s free. But she’s not to return to the digital world until she decides to join us once and for all.” Said Skye with wisdom in her words. “She shall not be let in until that time.”

And with that they left, leaving Kyusukamon and an unconscious Gwen alone, in the solitude of the DigiWorld.
