Summary: Crossover with Digimon Frontier. AU season 3. New students come to Duel Academy. Two of whom know Jaden! His past is catching up with him and Jaden if finding his life spinning out of control. Just who is Takuya Kanbara and what does he have to do with Jaden Yuki?

AN: I could go on for a while talking about why I didn't update: computer troubles, writer's block, college visits, senior year, death in the family ECT. But I will spare you the half page minimum of that and just give you guys the next chapter. I'm really sorry it took so long.
Elements of the Duelists
Last time
A stray rock fell from the destroyed portion of the ceiling. "Sarge, we should high-tail it out of here before we end up buried under these rocks."
Jesse made to stand, and let out a muffled groan as he fell back, "I don't think I can move guys."
So Hassleberry wound up carrying Jesse as Syrus made sure that Jaden didn't fall. Slowly, they made their way back to the surface.
They didn't notice a pair of glowing yellow eyes watching them. Neither did they hear a panicked voice exclaim, "The Bosses need to hear about this!"
Chapter 14: Movements
By the time they got out of the cave, Jesse and Jaden could walk on their own. Jesse still swayed slightly, but was otherwise fine.
The group had found shelter under a large tree and sat down, not wanting to risk making Jaden's or Jesse's exhaustion worse.
"That was amazing Sarge!" Hassleberry exclaimed, "I didn't know that you were so capable in combat!"
Chazz snorted, "They are impressive, but what are they?"
Bastion nodded, "I for one am wondering about the origins of these 'spirits'."
"Well," Bokomon said primly, "There is an old legend here in the digital world. It began when it was still young, back then the world was ravished by wars between the human Digimon and the beast Digimon. The war was brought to an end by Digimon named Lucemon. . . " (1)

The cavern was dark, preventing anyone from determining its true size. Six shaped loomed, radiating faint glows of colors that ranged from a golden yellow to a sickening purple. Silence reigned until a piercing shriek tore through the room
"WHAT?" The female shape exclaimed, her green glow expanding outwards before becoming tightly controlled again.
"The humans came, all of them, and they've already found two of the - ARG!" The small Demidevimon was destroyed and absorbed with a simple flick of the female's wrist.
"It seems we need to attempt a different tactic."
"We lull them into a false sense of security and when they least expect it, we strike."
"And I have the best way," The female purred, "Now pet, come here."
A large mass with glowing silver eyes appeared. "Yes Masters?"
"You are to follow the humans. Once they find all the spirits, I want you to kill them and take the spirits for yourself."
"Understood."

(1) ". . . And after they sealed Lucemon away, their bodies faded away. They had used up too much energy fighting Lucemon. To ensure a safe future for the Digital World, they used their remaining data to create two spirits each. The spirits were given to the three Great Angels for safe-keeping."
"So why were the spirits here?" Jim asked, "If these Angels were supposed to keep them safe, why put them in the middle of those caverns where anyone could find them?"
Bokomon blinks, "Well, when the seal imprisoning Lucemon began to weaken he began to attack; he corrupted Cherubimon, one of the Great Angels."
"He then attacked the other two Angels," Jaden added, "Seraphimon was badly injured and Ophanimon was kidnapped. Before she was taken, Ophanimon hid the spirits that she and Seraphimon had guarded. I guess they did that again."
"So they could be anywhere," Chazz said.
Jaden shrugged, "Pretty much."
"Then how are we supposed to find them all?" Syrus asked.
"Divide and conquer."
Jaden turned around, looking at the person who had been silent throughout Bokomon's explanation. "What was that Bastion?"
"We split into two groups, we will be able to cover more ground, and find the spirits quickly." Bastion explained.
"Only two groups?" Aster asked, "Why not more?"
"I for one do not want to wander around a strange place without any kind of protection. So one group can go with Jaden and the other can go with Jesse."
Aster stared, "That's actually a good idea."
"We just need to figure out one more thing," Bastion mused.
"And what's that?"
"Who is going with whom."
"I want to go with Jaden!" Eleven voiced chorused.
Everyone exchanged glances, surprised that for once they had agreed on something.
Jaden sighed, "You can't all come with me. Bokomon, you should go with Jesse. That way there will be someone who is familiar with the Digital World."
"Very well, I will bring Neemon with me also; I do not trust him wandering around without my supervision."
"Alright, who else is going to go with Jesse?"
After a good half an hour of debating it was decided that Aster, Bastion, Jim and Hassleberry would go with Jesse. Meanwhile Chazz, Syrus, Alexis and Atticus would go with Jaden.
They agreed to meet up after a week at the Forest Terminal. Jaden and Bokomon would act as guides to ensure no one got too lost.
Bokomon, wishing to leave quickly, directed his group to follow him back to his home, allowing him to pack anything necessary.
Meanwhile, Jaden decided to head towards what he called the Candlemon Village. He claimed that a spirit might be there, and even if it wasn't that there was 'this really awesome carving that they just had to see.'
To be continued
(1) The missing bit of Bokomon's story can be found on wikipedia. Look up 'Ancient Warriors (Digimon)' and read the explanation if you so desire. (No pressure, really, Lucemon isn't a big part of this, since he is dead.)
Again, I am sorry for the lack of updates. I won't say I will update, because I probably won't. But I will say this; I have been watching GX and 5D's and have been getting a lot of inspiration for this story. I will try my best to update again before 2010 ends. (Don't get your hopes up though.)
Any woo, to my remaining readers, because I know I lost some, I want to know what your favorite Digimon are and why. It's alright if you haven't watched the show in years, I just want a list of Digimon so I have appearances in future chapters. If I know what people like, I can have fun Digimon appearing.
It can be anyone: bad guy, good guy, Adventure (01/02), Tamers, Frontier, DATS, or even a dead guy! I really don't care (just stick with the Digimon please, no humans thank you).
I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Take a look at my profile, I have a one-shot based on this story, and hopefully I will have another one about Jesse up soon. And I also wish to ask you to look at my deviantart account, I will be posting the Spirit designs, and I want to know if anyone is even looking at them. Because if they don't, I won't take the time designing and coloring the pictures.
This is digiwriter1392 signing off and hoping she gets a few reviews.
