"Our vacation is ruined"
As a request for suntan140 I am doing the new version of Davis and the others meeting Willis. This is a side story for "A New Type of Harmony" and I hope you guys like it. The next chapter will be out soon.
Davis, Yolei and Cody were at the beach enjoying their time off from school and saving the Digital World from being destroyed.
Kari and TK had gone off to New York to go visit Mimi and the child of Hope did it mostly to make the Warrior of Harmony, who is also the child of Courage, Friendship and Miracles (wow she has a long list) jealous.
But that won't really work out for him since she was also at the beach with Koji, so TK was the one who was seething in jealousy at the moment.
Didn't that girl know any ugly guys?
Yolei and Cody were playing volley ball with Upamon as the ball while Demiveemon and Poromon watched them from their place in a beach chair with sunglasses on and the two Warriors swam around in the water, talking about how this reminded them of the time they were in the Digital World five years ago at the Toucanmons' beach house.
Davis shrieked out a giggle as Koji picked her up and carried her out of the water, bringing her over to where the picnic blanket was laid out with the bags, drinks, food and such that the group had brought with them.
"Put me down, Wolf Boy, I need to answer my D-terminal." Davis said lightly slapping the ravenette's chest when she heard her device going off.
"Fine." He set her back down on her feet, shooting some younger guys at the beach a fierce glare when he saw them staring at the maroon haired girl's black bikini that showed off her athletic figure and natural caramel skin.
"New kid with digimon?" she asked making him look at her in surprise.
"Yay, a new friend!" Demiveemon cried, running to his partner's side.
"Kari said to meet them in Colorado." The child of Miracles said as the others gathered around her.
"Huh?" everyone asked.
"But how are we supposed to get to America? We don't have the money." Davis said.
"I think you're gonna have to figure that one out yourselves, D." Koji said as he placed a kiss on her cheekmaking her blush and shoot him a playful glare.
(Time Change)
"All right, Yolei, explain to me one more time why we have to stop in three different cities?" Davis asked as they were in an airplane.
"I told you, we're using my uncle's frequent flyer miles. And certain restrictions apply." Yolei explained.
(Time Change)
"And why do we have to take this particular taxi company?" Davis asked, groaning as the cab they were in swerved a little, making them all move around as they tried to hang on to their partners.
"I have an uncle who lives here in Houston and he has an account with them."
"It's not that bad." Cody said nervously as he clung to Davis, while the girl hung onto their partners.
"At least it's free!" Yolei insisted, as the cab swerved again, making the three whimper.
"What do you say, guys? Wanna hear some music?" the chipper taxi driver asked.
"Sure, why not?" Davis asked, hesitant.
"We prefer something on the slow and easy side if you have it." Cody insisted his reply muffled since his face was hidden in the Digi Leader's arm.
"Sure!" the guy yelled, the cab swerving again, turning on some loud country music, humming along.
"I'm pretty good, huh?" he asked.
Everyone groaned.
(Time Change)
The three waved good bye to the airplane that was taking off, Yolei thanking her uncle for flying them to Colorado.
Davis rested against a fence near the side of the road, Demiveemon looking at the farm on the other side, fascinated by the new land.
"According to the map, we're about 60 miles from where we're supposed to meet Kari and TK." Cody said.
The maroon haired girl came over, her small blue and white partner by her side. "And how are we supposed to get there?" she asked.
"I've got an uncle who owns some horses around here." the lavender haired girl said.
Davis looked over to the road and saw a truck coming.
"I have a better idea." She said.
Davis went over and flagged down the truck and spoke to the driver, asking for a ride, and then boarded with the others after they were given the woman's consent.
"I like this idea." Cody stated as the girl boosted him up, their partners in his arms, then she helped Yolei and Poromon up and then she climbed in after them.
"All right, we're all set!" Davis called to the driver.
When she closed the door, the truck began moving again.
They were surprised to see a blond boy with bright blue eyes who looked about Yolei's age sitting in the back with a strange stuffed animal by his side.
Davis noted that it looked a lot like Lopmon.
"Hey there, looks like you had the same idea we did." She said pleasantly.
Demiveemon then began sniffing at the stuffed animal, making the two teens look at him confused and the girl frowned.
"Hey, knock that off. It's rude. Sorry about that." She said to him as she pulled the digimon away.
"D, guess what?" Demiveemon said, stepping in front of the two, his little paw pointing to the stuffed animal, the girl smiling at his cute face.
"He's a digimon."
"Uh oh." The now outed digimon said.
"That explains why he looks like Lopmon." Davis said calmly standing up, realising that this boy was the new Digidestind that Kari had told them about.
The American looked up at the Japanese girl, wondering what she was talking about and was also in awe of the other digimon.
"Hey, he's right!" Yolei said, pointing as she stepped out from behind the child of Miracles.
"Wow, in America, they have digimon by the truck load!" Cody exclaimed as the three digimon crowded around the new digimon, giggling.
(Twenty minutes later)
"Our digimon like each other!" the American called Willis said happily.
"And the guy said, I was talking to the duck." his partner, Terriermon said, finishing his joke, making the other three digimon laugh.
"Ha! You know this is kinda nice being around others for a change." Willis said.
"Yeah, for as long as I can remember, it's been me and Willis, all alone." Terriermon added in.
"But having a digimon makes you a Digidestind and we're all part of a team, why are you alone?" Yolei asked, confused as the blond walked up to her.
"Well, let's just say I have my reasons." he said smiling charmingly at her. "Anyway, it's nice meeting someone as cute as you."
Davis rolled her eyes at that as her friend blushed at the compliment.
Obviously the guy was charming his way around the question so he wouldn't answer.
"Yeah, yeah, back off there blondie." She said.
"What's the matter with you, Davis, did I say something wrong?" he asked teasingly and she rolled her eyes at him.
"She's just worried because she was hoping we'd meet up with Kari and TK by now." Cody said from his place on the ground, smiling.
"Well, my family's vacation home is just a couple of towns away from here." Willis said, tearing his eyes away from the cute maroon haired girl and looked at the tall girl with round glasses in front of him.
"You guys can wait for them there if you want to."
"I better e-mail Kari and TK to tell them where to meet us." She said.
"Where are they coming from?" the American asked.
"From New York." Yolei blinked.
Willis smiled, and said, hoping to make a certain cute goggle head jealous and riled up; "Oh, the kids behind the fence. That girl was cute, too!"
"She's unavailable. Can you get us a ride or do we need to flag down another truck?" Davis asked.
"Yeah, I'll make a call right now." Willis said slightly disappointed that she didn't react the way he wanted.
Terriermon groaned, wondering why he hadn't thought of making the call before.
(Later)
After, Willis called for a pizza to be delivered to his family's vacation house and asked if the driver could pick them up on the way.
"It seems you've done this before." Cody commented after the blond hung up.
"They'll be here in two minutes or it's free." The blond said.
"Willis, you're smart!" said Terriermon.
"It does seem like a good idea." Davis complimented.
Willis looked at the maroon haired teen, prideful that she thought he was smart, then smirked.
"Glad you agree, so you're paying then." He said.
"As if." She scoffed.
(Two minutes later)
And two minutes later, a truck pulled over, announcing he was their ride.
Davis leaned on the back on the pick-up, waiting for everyone else to get on, still arguing to the American about before.
"Fine, if I'm paying, you guys are paying me back later on." she relented.
"Oh, don't worry, we will." Yolei said, leaning her head on the side of the pick-up.
"So, guess that means we're ready to go." the child of Miracles grinned.
The truck then started up, and then quickly pulled away, and Davis jumped away before she fell, staring off in shock.
"We'll tell you how the pizza tastes!" Yolei called, waving to the two Digidestinds and their partners who were left behind.
Willis and Terriermon stared off at the retreating truck as Demiveemon had his jaw wide open and eyes bugged out in disbelief that they were left in the middle of nowhere.
"Well, looks like I don't have to pay after all." Davis said, the two Americans looking at her in amusement.
Just then, the wind picked up, making Willis and Terriermon look around, worried as the blonde's digivice started beeping and glowed red.
"What is it?" Davis asked, sensing something evil.
"D!" Demiveemon cried, running towards her.
Just then, a road sign bent and a large, strange looking digimon appeared, crying "DESTROY!" in a voice that was a combination of an adult villain voice and a child-like one, sounding like two completely opposite people were talking.
"Chocomon." Willis said in a daze.
"You know this digimon?" Davis asked running in front of him, shielding the blonde as Demiveemon jumped in and digivolved to Veemon.
He charged in and attacked, then quickly jumped out of the way before he was caught by the huge digimon.
Terriermon then joined in, by flying Veemon over to Chocomon to attack.
"Watch out for that sign!" Willis and Davis called, then winced as the two flew into the billboard behind the monster, falling to the ground in a daze from the hit.
"Time for plan B." Davis groaned.
Veemon then armour digivolved to Flamedramon: the Harmonic Flame of Courage and attacked the large digimon.
Davis grabbed Willis's hand as she led him away from the fight, but were knocked over by the explosion caused by the fire attack from her partner.
They got back up and followed at a safe distance.
"You left out one small detail." Davis stated to Willis.
"Who is that...AND WHY IS HE ATTACKING US?" she yelled.
Chocomon blasted Flamdramon with his Choco Crusher, which were like bullets shooting out of his chest and sent him flying away, and land in a small crater, reverting back to Veemon.
The American and his digimon ran in front of the large one as he approached to finish off the dragon.
"Chocomon, stop! I'm doing what you want. I'm going back." he tried to reason.
Chocomon lost it and tried to attack Willis, but Terriermon pushed him out of the way.
"Willis, use your digivice!" Davis cried, running over.
The blonde's digivice then beeped and glowed green.
"I feel strange." Terriermon said, then did an incredible jump in the air, complete with a backwards somersault and digivolved to Gargomon.
"Huh? He's got pants now." Willis said.
Davis deadpanned from her place on the ground, holding Veemon in her arms.
The digimon had two chain guns for hands and a belt of ammo wrapped around his torso and he's concerned about the fact that the over grown rabbit was wearing pants?
Gargomon fought well and after he blasted Chocomon with his lasers, he left, saying "Go back", and the wind picked up before he disappeared, then settled.
"I really hate it when the bad guys do that. So what is up with him? Is there a reason he was chasing after you?" Davis asked the blonde, who had his back turned to her.
"Don't ask any more questions! It's for your own good. The less you know, the better!" he snapped.
Davis looked a little hurt by that and Terriermon noticed and went over to his partner, placing his paw in his hand.
"Willis. We're a team now! It's alright to tell them the truth." He chuckled.
Davis looked at them, feeling the friendship and trust radiating from them as a gentle wind blew her hair out of her face.
"Well, the truth is, we don't have a ride." She said.
"No problem. I can handle that." Veemon said, then digivolved into Raidramon: the Harmonic Storm of Friendship.
Davis whooped and gracefully swung herself on her partner's back.
"Somebody call for a ride?" she joked.
"That's cool!" Terriermon said.
"Couldn't you have done that before?" Willis asked.
(Later)
The three whooped in joy as the half-wolf half-dragon creature leaped over hills and fences, enjoying the scene of the sun setting over the green fields.
Terriermon seemed to be enjoying the ride more than Willis though.
"How do ya stop this thing?!" he cried as Davis looked at him, smiling reassuringly as they got closer to the other two Digidestinds, then they slid off as Raidramon de-digivolved.
(Later)
They were on a nice little stone bridge talking.
"So this Chocomon attacked you? I knew we shouldn't have split up the team!" Yolei cried after the two told them what happened.
"Where are your friends, Kari and TK?" Terriermon asked, walking on the side of the bridge, balancing himself with his arms.
"Oh, yeah. They're still not here yet." Yolei mussed, silently counting down to the explosion.
"WHAT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN KARI AND TK AREN'T HERE YET?!" Davis screamed as the mark of Harmony glowed on her chest.
Everyone was blown back by the winds that were caused by her angered and worried outburst, some of the digimon falling over.
"Good question. They really should have been here by now." Cody said, holding Upamon.
"If I know Chocomon, your friends aren't coming at all." Willis said as if it was no big deal.
Davis looked at him, having enough with the American.
"That's enough!" she said walking over and placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Huh?" he looked at her, shocked.
"Enough secrets." she said calmly removing her hand.
"You seem to know an awful lot about this monster." Cody concluded.
"Spill it. How do you two know each other?" Davis asked.
"And more importantly, why is he only attacking you?" Yolei asked, accusingly.
"Because, I created him." he answered, blue eyes shining with guilt.
Terriermon got up from his place beside Veemon, looking surprised that he finally admitted it to someone.
Everyone was quiet before Davis stepped up again.
"What do you mean? There's no way you can create a digimon from thin air." she said.
"I've told you too much already! Chocomon makes everyone who tries to help me disappear. Like I'll bet he did to your friends, TK and Kari!" he said, stressing their names.
"I have to do this by myself. I need to be alone."
"Nice try, but I am not dropping this." Davis said, following him into the forest behind the house, not letting him get away that easily, while Terriermon stared on, depressed, wanting to do something.
(A few hours later)
Nightfall came and the two chosen children still kept walking.
"Willis, we've been walking for hours and you haven't said a thing." Davis said, walking over to the upset blond.
"Being a Digidestind means you don't have to face things alone."
He looked at her helplessly, then looked at the ground, sighing.
"What are you running away from?" she asked.
He frowned, as if debating something, then looked at her, determined.
"'Kay, eight years ago, a digi egg came out of my computer and it hatched into twin digimon, Terriermon and Chocomon. I finally had someone to play with. My very own pets. And they talked too! It was the best." He said making her smile a bit at the happy tone he had.
He looked over at the lake to their right, gazing out at it in a dream state, as if he was becoming lost in his memories.
"They depended on me. Sometimes they even did my chores for me. I thought it would be cool to have more of them, so I got this stupid idea of creating a digi egg on the computer. That's when it all went bad. Before my digi egg could hatch, it was attacked by a virus and it mutated into Diaboramon. When Tai and the others destroyed him, I thought my bad dream was finally over, but the real nightmare was just beginning. The virus somehow tracked me down and dragged Chocomon away from me. And I watched helplessly for four years as he became this terrible monster! And now he's obsessed with chasing me." Willis said sadly.
"I remember during the battle he said to you, 'Go back to the beginning'. What did he mean?" Davis asked as the wind blew her bangs from her face.
"I think he wanted me to come back here to where it all started. But every time he tries to tell me why, the virus stops him! He can't fight it! I know he won't stop until he's destroyed, but I can't do it! It's my fault, not his!" he exclaimed.
Davis walked past him during his speech and banged her head against a tree, tears beginning to burn behind her eyes.
If it had been her and Veemon, she couldn't do it.
Wouldn't have the courage to watch him become a monster and be forced to destroy him.
It was hard enough when she had to see Koji and Takuya lose control of their Beast Spirits and go wild and then what happened with Duskmon.
The force of the contact of her head and the tree caused her goggles that belonged to the original child of Courage, to fall off.
She sniffled.
"What's the matter with you?" Willis asked confused and surprised.
"S-sorry. It's just…It brought back some unwanted memories." she stuttered confusing him.
Willis did not like this.
Not one bit!
The girl in front of him was a firecracker and happy, always put up a strong front, no matter what.
To see her break down because of him, it was unnerving and upsetting.
She shouldn't be acting like this.
It's was his fault, not hers!
"I'm the one with the problem, not you." he said, calmly, walking up to her.
He bent down to retrieve the goggles and held them out to her, smiling.
"Get over it."
She turned around, her tears stopping, a cheerful grin on her cute face, revealing how pretty she was without the goggles.
But then again, they did look cute on her, too.
"OK." she said, as if they didn't just have a big dramatic confession.
"That was fast." Willis chuckled.
"You know what?" the maroon haired girl said, putting on her goggles.
"We're gonna help you!"
"You will?" he asked, ecstatic.
"How are you gonna do that?"
"My friend, we're Digidestind. We'll find the answer together as a team!" she said with a smile
Even though he felt like he was soaring at the "friend" thing, he was still clueless about the team thing.
"I've never been on a team. Anything I should know?" he asked.
Davis leaned forward, one hand on her hip, the other giving thumbs up, a playful smile curving her lips.
"A few; if you have a problem, come to me right away and we'll solve it together. I'm not gonna judge you no matter what. And you also need to learn that you can trust us." She said, her mark of Harmony glowing on her chest making the blonde stare in awe and wonder.
"Willis." Someone called.
The two turned to see Terriemon was there, wrapped up in a blanket that he was probably sleeping with before he came out to find the two missing teens.
"I don't mean to ease-drop, but I've got really big ears. I know you're going to face Chocomon tomorrow and I wanna be right there with you."
"No way! I couldn't live with myself if something were to happen to you! This is my mistake and I won't risk your safety to correct it!" Willis said.
The dog-rabbit stepped forward, the brown blanket falling off his head, revealing his concerned face.
"He's my brother." he insisted.
"I don't care!" Willis cried.
"Willis, I'm not your pet, I'm your friend. And friends are always there for each other." Terriermon said.
The goggle headed teen smiled at the small digimon's words, feeling the Crest of Friendship spread its warm, tingly, happy feeling within her chest.
It seemed as though those words got through to the American, too, as a look of dawning crossed his face, a smile breaking out.
"Now that's team work." Davis praised the bunny as Willis stepped towards his partner and friend.
He kneeled down in front of him, then wrapped him up in the blanket.
"Thanks pal!"
Terriemon giggled and was then picked up as the two Digidestinds walked back to the vacation house to rest up for the final battle tomorrow.
To be continued...
