2Oh my! New chappie is stopping by! There was an error, I noticed last chapter. It said, 'Digidestined. Chosen for great things, but be frightened. The one who chose you is you.' Actually it is 'Digidestined. Chosen for great things, but DON'T be frightened. The one who chose you is you.' My mistake.

We looked around the station. C'mon, Koji can't be that hard to find, can he? It's like he doesn't want to be found, and maybe he doesn't, but we're going to hunt him down anyways. When I was about to suggest we look elsewhere, we heard the woman's voice. Damn, didn't know it echoed.
'Koji Minamoto. Commence your search.' Hey! Koji must be nearby! So…what is Koji searching for? Us? Nah, that couldn't be it, he would have found us already. Koichi and I ran towards the voice and heard Koji talk to the D-Tector.
"Search? For what?" Wow Koji, real sleek. Question the voice. There goes my opinion I had of your 'cool boy' silence…not that it was good in the first place. So maybe you aren't such a bad guy. Actually, I wanted to ask a few questions to it as well.
'The spirit.' It replied. I sighed mentally. You seriously talk in riddles? I mean- after seeing Agunimon, I think I know what a spirit is. Koji however...probably doesn't.
"How do you know my name?" Koji asked it again. Dude, it knew ALL of our names, no matter who we were. Hell, didn't it speak your name to you when you pressed 'yes' on your phone?
'Find the spirit, and you will find the answer to all your questions.' The woman's voice spoke again. Wow, did this person manipulate others by promising rewards? How come Koichi and I didn't get promised a treat?
"Not good enough. I'm not a lapdog you can just order around you know," He said to it. Well, we're not lapdogs, but now that you say it…everyone is kind of being bossed around. "What is this 'spirit' anyway?" Lol, n00b. Then again, I guess we're all n00bs. "I mean, how do I know where to look for it?" The D-Tector then must have done something he didn't like, because he just growled at it.
"What's this?" He said surprised at the map-thing that had appeared on his D-Tector and looked at the train, which said something I couldn't understand and then took off. Maybe because the accent it had was too strong for me…ok, that's weird.
"Apparently we're in a station called the 'Flame Terminal'; the train is called a Trailmon and can talk, you're not the only one here, and we've been looking for you." I said like I was talking about the weather.
Koji spun round to look at us. "Who are you?" He asked, his eyes narrowing.
"Relax, I'm Koichi and this is Catherine." Koichi replied. Looking back and forth between the two, I burst out laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" Koichi and Koji said together. I just started laughing harder and then my stomach started to hurt because of it.
"Koichi, remember why we were looking for Koji?" I smirked. Koichi's eyes widened and then he laughed for a few seconds too. He stopped quickly though.
"Why are you laughing for no reason? Also, how do you know my name?" Koji said sternly. Looks like he ignored Koichi's advice to relax.
"No reason? You and Koichi are brothers; I can't believe you haven't figured that out yet! Koichi told me your name, too. So go on Koichi, looks like you have some explaining to do. Want me to leave you alone?' And without waiting for a reply, I turned and left.
After a couple of minutes of walking, I reached the outside, and thought I heard movement. Looking back, Koji and Koichi were running towards me. "So, ya talked it o'er?" I called to them.
When they got close, Koji still holding his D-Tector and the weird sphere on it, Koichi nodded, but it was Koji who spoke. "Yeah, it's hard to believe though. It still makes sense nonetheless."
"Okay, so what now?" I asked Koji, as he had the sphere thing-let's go with a map-on his D-Tector. I grinned at Koichi.
"Good, now I won't have to make you two look in a mirror." I teased.
"Erm, look there." Koichi said, pointing toward a gap in between two structures where the three of us saw J.P. and Tommy running.
"Well, there goes an accident waiting to happen," Koji said and then tilted his head. "You really shouldn't be wandering alone around this place." He said to the empty air J.P. and Tommy had occupied.
"Yeah, well if it wasn't for Koichi and I walking with you, you could've taken your own advice." I said, chuckling a bit.
"Catherine, do you think we should follow them?" Koichi asked me.
"I dunno; ask Koji, he's got a map thing." I shrugged back to him.
"Oh well, we're not here to play babysitters. Let's continue." He said turning back to us briefly and then turned again and walked forward. Koichi and I followed of course. We searched hard to find this guy, so we're not losing him so soon.
We kept walking and came to a forest area. I must admit, it was kind of pretty. I wonder if the real world has any place like this. I was snapped out of my musings by Koji who broke the silence we had been travelling in.
"This is getting old." He sighed unhappily. Well, you've just been looking at the map. Maybe if you had looked at the scenery, you would think differently. The variety of plans was astounding.
"So? We're adventuring! Explore and loosen up a little." I smiled at him.
"True, but then we'd get lost." He replied.
"Catherine, I agree with Koji. It is fun exploring, but someone had to be a guide." Koichi said, siding with Koji. What happened back at the station when I left them?
"Fine." I frowned and stayed silent, walking over to a square entrance cut in a steel opening. Koji's map then disappeared. Looking around Koji and Koichi spotted me, messing around with an echo.
"It's probably safer to stay away from creepy holes in the wall." He said and walked over to me, Koichi trailing behind him a bit. "But we didn't come here to be safe; this had better not be someone's idea of a joke." And stairs then appeared, shocking me a bit. Man this place is magical.
We walked downwards, and I kept just in front of Koichi. Don't want him falling again, do we? "Anyone here?" Koji called and I grinned because I could hear his voice echoing around the area. "Ok, apart from us, I suppose not."
We came to an area that had pipes in several different directions. We were near the top when we heard cries for help below. As I looked down I gasped. J.P. and Tommy! What are they doing so far underground!?
Koji and Koichi also gasped and I grinned. Could we be super heroes and save them? Koji jumped down and grabbed a pole, with me laughing. I then jumped down too, Koichi not far behind.
When we reached the bottom, Koji kicked the pipe and broke it off, getting ready to fight the small Digimon coming towards us. I put my fists up and Koichi got into a defensive position. He then rushed towards them, swinging his pole, but missing. I punched a few away and kicked a few. It was the best feeling I have had all day!
Koichi managed to hit a few, too, but he mostly stayed on the defensive.
"Who are those two? I know the girl is Catherine but wow!" Tommy said in awe as Koji got covered in Digimon but kicked them all away. I held out my arms and let them latch on to me- their teeth actually didn't hurt- and smashed them against the wall. Koichi was following my example.
"I don't know, but they are serious!" J.P. exclaimed. Well, we were protecting you, and since these Digimon were like bullies, of course we had to be serious.
Heaps of them latched onto Koji, but he just popped the top one off with his pole and spun around, knocking them all against the wall.
"Not yet human! Don't smile yet!" One of the heads-probably the leader-said and was covered in Fractal Code. Something tells me this was a really, really, bad thing.
Well, this was a quick update. Then again, I'll try to add length to the amount of chapters by doing, like, two parts for one episode.
