Chapter 13: Save Me
Matt was sitting in the last seat by the last window in his history class staring out the window. It was raining out side. Small drops of water rolled down the window smearing it slightly.
His mind lingered on after school; he had to go to Shinya's school to pick the others up so they could go to the digital world.
'Why am I doing this… why do I do this? I must be either really stupid or I'm slowly going nuts for juggling school and going to the digital world with those little kids. Why was I chosen any ways?' Matt thought, his eye following a rain drop down the glass.
"Matt, Matt Hemi, Are you paying attention?" yelled the teacher.
"Yes Mr. Sayo." Matt answered glancing over at the teacher.
The bell rang and everyone left the class.
"Mat can I see you for a second?" Mr. Sayo asked as Matt began to rise out of his seat.
"Yes." Matt replied walking up to his teacher's desk.
"You haven't been doing well in my class..." Mr. Sayo stated.
"I'm not doing well in any class." Matt joked.
"That's not the point Matt, your grades have been dropping and you have been late to almost every one of your classes what's going on?" Sayo asked.
"Nothings wrong, I'm fine. I'm sorry Mr. Sayo I have to go or I'm going to be late for my next class."
The bell rang again.
"Never mind I am late for my next class." Matt muttered walking out of the room.
Matt ran into his next class "Sorry I'm late Mrs. Strife." He mumbled his apology.
"Just take your seat Mr. Hemi." Mrs. Strife sighed.
Matt walked to his seat and sat down and took out his note book opened it to a blank page and started to draw.
The last bell of the day rang and every one rushed out the door to get to their lockers and go home. Matt walked down the sidewalk staring blankly at the sky. He stopped and found that he was already at the school, so he leaned against the gates waiting to hear the bell that let the others out for the day ring.
The bell rang a little while later and little kids started to come out of the doors to the school. After two minuets the group of the three he was waiting for walked out the doors.
"Finally..." Matt muttered to himself as they ran over to him.
"Hey Matt!" Jessica greeted stopping in front of him.
"Come on lets go." Matt said walking away from the group.
"Well he's as cheerful as ever." Jake whispered to Shinya.
"Shut up you two." Jess demanded glaring at them.
"Note don't get on water spirits bad side." Shinya whispered.
"Especially when her best spirit looks even worse." Jake whispered.
They both began to laughing.
"That's it I'm going to kill them!" Jess shouted turning around.
Matt grabbed the back of her shirt.
"Don't bother; you can hurt them when we get to the digital world." Matt warned letting go of her shirt.
"Fine…" Jess replied walking away from the two boys.
'… Why are we even here? I don't get it. From what Cherubimon told me the spirits we have now were there own being, they didn't need some one to be a hybrid. So how come they couldn't do it again?' Matt thought staring at his d- tector leaning against a stone wall.
He put it back in his pocket and stood up and started walking away from the three.
"Try not to kill each other while I'm gone." Matt mumbled walking into the darkness of the tunnel.
"What dose any of this have to do with our world… what are they planning …why am I asking myself so many questions I can't answer?" He pulled out his d-tecter and stared at it "And I'm guessing you can't tell me what's going on?" Nothing but static.
"I thought not…"
"They are planning to take over your world along with this one… if this battle keeps going Lucemon's going to send the Royal Knights out to collect data from the digital world." said a women's voice.
"Who is this? Why are you telling me this?" Matt asked his d-tecter.
"I am Ophanimon, one of the three guardians who protect this land, if I am right Cherubimon gave you your spirit… am I right?" She asked.
"Yeah… but how did you know?" He asked sitting down on a rock.
"I know a lot about you Matt Hemi." Ophanimon stated.
"What? How do you know my name?" Matt questioned in shock.
"Because I know your little brother Tommy." She answered.
"Where is he, is he okay?" Matt asked worried.
"He is fine." Ophanimon stated.
"Well where he is, I haven't seen him in almost a week." Matt said settling down a little bit.
"He is right here with me." Ophanimon answered.
"But how come he hasn't come back home yet? He knows we can go to the digital world by going threw the computer." He stated.
"He came here by a trailmon." Ophanimon replied.
"Trailmon? You can get here by them as well? Ophanimon can you tell him to be back home before Friday night because that's when our parents get home?" Matt said looking away from his d-tector.
"Why don't you come and tell him you're self?" Ophanimon questioned.
"I- I don't know if that's such a good idea." Matt stuttered.
"Drain rain!"
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Matt shouted.
"Snake eye break!"
He got out of the way of Grumblemons attack. Arbormon grabbed Matt.
"Cherubimon wants to speak with you sugar, so he sent us to get you … no matter what it took." Renamon answered.
Matts head was down all you could see was a smirk on his face "No." He stated.
"What was that sugar? I must have water in my ears or did I just hear you say no?" Renamon said lifting his chin up.
He still had the smirk on his face.
"No, I'm not going back. What cha' going to do about it?" Matt stated.
"You should pick your battles wisely Matt, going up against us is not a wise thing to do. Right now you're helpless your hand can't reach your d- tector." Renamon said standing back up.
Matt slipped out of Arbormons grip and elbowed Renamon in the gut, he ducked down and swung his foot and took the three warriors feet out from under them. He got out from in between the three warriors now on the ground.
"Sorry I can't stay but I got to go, see y!." Matt laughed staring to run.
"Damn it, after him!" Renamon shouted getting up and running.
"Chill out he can't get very far." Arbormon stated running after her.
Grumblemon followed.
Matt looked at his d- tector a map showed up. "I don't know where this map is telling me to go but any where's better then here." He stated putting his d-tector back in his pocket.
"Damn, just what I didn't need a ledge..." he muttered stopping at the edge.
'There closing in too.' Matt thought backing up to get a running start.
He jumped and barely landed on the other side of the ledge. Matt stumbled a little and kept running.
"Don't they ever get tired?" He asked himself sliding down into a crater.
He ran across the crater as they jumped in. He tried climbing up the crater. Beads of sweat were running down his face.
"Drain rain!" Renamon shouted.
A cloud formed over Matt and it down pored on top of him. The rocks became slippery as the rain fell. His clothes were soaking wet making it harder to climb. He made it to the top and put his arms over the ledge to stable himself. His feet slipped and he started to fall, he closed his eyes waiting for the impact of the ground, but it never came. He looked up to see someone had caught his wrist.
