Digimon Adventure: Secret Police

Chapter Five: All For The Iris

"When I think of the memories we shared long ago

There's a part deep within me that wants you to know

Though I left without warning, without a goodbye

I have faith that soon someday you'll be by my side."

Ayame sat in her office, singing from her silky comforters. Her eyes were closed as she felt the words swallow her in their mysterious melody of happiness, despite the emotional theme the song regularly displayed.

"I promise you, I'll answer your plea

I swear it's true, just trust in me.

My love for you will always live on

Like a song, a simple melody.

Though we're apar-"

"Ayame?"

Ayame shrieked in surprise and fell off her bed clumsily. Her lower legs were on the side of the bed, skirt glued to her thighs, which were on the carpeted floor.

Ayame stared at the one that had spoken to her. She was on her back, so the girl appeared upside down.

Standing quickly, Ayame brushed he wrinkles out of her poncho and skirt. "U-um, h-h-hey, A-Anna," she said nervously, hoping she didn't look too idiotic.

Anna currently had her hands on her hips. A Renamon stood next to her. Anna was confused, and her hazel eyes clearly stated this. She wore a black jacket over a red shirt and shadowy jeans. Black sneakers elevated her less than an inch from the ground. Even with this slight advantage, Renamon was still taller.

"Are you okay?" Anna asked, her head tilted downwards.

"Yeah," Ayame nodded jumpily. "Sorry. I can just get wrapped up in the song sometimes."

"Anyway," Anna said, changing the topic, "Gennai wants to see everyone to discuss...the Digimon." Anna scanned the room with her eyes to see if Ayame's partner was in the room before finished the sentence.

"Where's Falcomon?" Renamon questioned.

"Not sure," Ayame replied quickly. Falcomon always seemed to have other things to do, so she didn't see him unless the bird had been called on. Ayame personally didn't want anyone to find out she wasn't really 'partners' with her Digimon as others were.

Ayame followed Anna out of the office and up to the main area where the Digivice fountain was. All of the other DigiDestined were sitting either on the stairs, the fountain rim, or the floor.

Ayame took a spot on the floor, where Anna sat on the edge of the fountain. Gennai took notice and then spoke. "Everyone's here."

"Falcomon isn't," Ayame muttered, half annoyed and half disappointed.

-----

Falcomon flew through a clearing of the Digital World. He glanced around, not noticing anything out of place.

Falcomon had to be here though. Ayame had lost something here years before...and then the depression started. Falcomon noticed something shimmering at the corner of his eye. Turning to observe closer, Falcomon felt a ray hit him in the stomach.

Falcomon still reached out and grabbed the glimmering object. "At long last," he whispered, clasping the glow in his feathers.

-----

Something was different. Ayame could feel it in her gut. All of a sudden, Ayame felt like someone had punched her in the stomach. She jumped up from the floor and ran to her room. Ayame felt as if something was drawing her there.

"Ayame?" Gennai asked? Ayame didn't hear him though. She was too focused on what was pulling her away, towards Falcomon.

Anna and another boy jumped up to chase her. The boy had spiked black hair and wore orange shorts. He had a black jacket and red shirt like Anna, but his seemed to be more suited for a boy. Black shoes were on his feet, but again they were more for teenage boys. A Gumdramon followed him. "Jimmeeeeeeeeee!" Gumdramon yelled, running as fast as his legs could take him.

Anna and Jimmee found Ayame pointing her Digivice at her computer, passing through it effortlessly.

Anna and Jimmee pulled out their own Digivices, wanting to follow her. Anna's was purple, and Jimmee's was gold and yellow. Both disappeared in a blur, Digimon included.

-----

"Falcomon!"

By the time Anna and Jimmee had arrived in the Digital World, Ayame was sitting on her knees, holding Falcomon in her arms.

"I found it," Falcomon whispered, opening his feathers to reveal the glimmering object from before. It glowed more intensely now.

The glowing object was a small purple rectangle slotted into a gold case. Ayame's face lit up upon seeing it. "Thank you!" Ayame exclaimed.

She out the object around her neck, and the purple light was nearly blinding now. Anna, Renamon, Jimmee, and Gumdramon looked away, shielding their eyes. Ayame found the illumination quite refreshing however.

A Snimon was overhead, watching the glow. He growled angrily. He was supposed to destroy the crest while he had the chance.

"Twin Sickles!" Snimon yelled. The same pink that hit Falcomon was now heading for Ayame and her partner.

Renamon jumped through the air, preparing an attack. "Diamond Storm!"

The attacks collided, and an explosion echoed across the clearing. Dust settled over Ayame, wind ruffling her short hair.

Ayame felt a familiar warmth on her chest. She looked down to see her crest glowing, as if it knew her and was happy to be reunited with its owner.

"Falcomon," she whispered, cuing the bird to stand. "Let's do this."

Ayame's Digivice glowed from her hand, sending a pure light across the area.

"What is-" Snimon began. He groaned in agony as his eyes were covered in bright spots from the sudden glow outbreak.

"FALCOMON, DIGIVOLVE TO...PECKMON!"

Ayame stared through the light at Peckmon. Anna and Jimmee looked away, shielding their eyes from the brightness.

"Let's do this," Ayame repeated, squeezing her Digivice tighter.

Peckmon jumped and tackled Snimon. "Thousand Beaks!"

Snimon trembled under the constant attacks. He fell to the ground, wings no longer vibrating.

Ayame grinned. "Nice!"

Snimon then flew away, tossing Peckmon from his back.

"We have to go after him!" Anna yelled, running with Renamon towards the bug Digimon.

Anna skid to a stop when a ShadowWereGarurumon jumped down from a tree to block their path.

Jimmee pulled out his Digivice. "SOS."

Ayame's former confidence vanished. "We're in trouble."

A/N

Hi guys! I just added the song! you don't have to listen to it, but do it if you wish. You know, for curiousity's sake.

I know that the chapter title doesn't make sense, but Ayame's name means 'iris' in Japanese, so yeah.

Enough with my rambling! See you guys!
