The Saga: Secrets
By: Linkmaste
One week after the incident of Ai and Mako finding out about Impmon's mega form, everything went somewhat back to normal. Mako and Ai still played their games and bugging Impmon on final calls. Impmon himself used most of his free time to walk around causing mischief and trouble among the streets of West Shinjuku.
Although routine had a dominant play in the week that had passed a problem occurred to the tamer's parents. Their mom, Maria had her book published at last. It was based on the events taking place awhile ago involving digimon and such. Granting, it would be interesting to talk about this book the real story is the solution, me.
I'm Lindsay Rose and I'm fourteen years old. I just moved to Japan with no ability to speak the language other than hello. Fortunately I had friends in high places to help me out and in months I could speak just like a citizen. Of course this meant giving up my most treasured sport of all time, soccer. At least for a few months it meant giving up. The kicking, the dribbling and of course the saves that I made were very alive to me and I felt magical.
The real reason my family moved here was to start a new life. My farther works for a car company and had to move here because of shortage of workers. My mom always wanted to see a new place too. I could care less but until now my life had been a complete drag. New people, new places, new language, new trends all which I had no clue on. So me in my favorites jean skirt, black shirt and red tank-top, black runners and a matching black and gold purse I set off to find work. Just to get the money though.
Surprise, surprise when I found a babysitting job offer for about two months. It seemed that the mother and farther had to leave for some book tour around the nation and cant have the kids with them so here I was at the front door being interviewed to death. I never knew that employers could ask questions such as 'what is your favorites color?' and determine what your height is.
However I got the job and it seemed not too bad. The kids looked nice enough and they could help me out with my homework. If I only kept my attention to the board instead of dreaming of saving Beckham's penalty shot. Their names were Ai and Mako which was normal for them but strange to me.
The day had arrived and I came prepared with my goalie gloves and first aid kit. Well, not really just some homework, money, cell phone, keys to my home and a list of phone numbers that showed names of their relatives.
"Don't worry! They are in good hands." I called out in the foreign tongue as their car left the driveway. It was my dad's company car. Good choice. I turned around to face the twins who smiled and suggested games. I suggested a mini soccer game and they drew blank faces. Perfect, more victims to draw them to the sweeping sport of soccer.
"Alright its simple, no using hands expect me because I'm the goalie. If Mako scores on me then he gets a point. Same with you Ai. Who ever gets 5 points wins and don't beat each other up." I explained getting my soccer ball out of my gym bag.
The game was completely dull for me at least. The kids were having a blast and were doing the weirdest things I have ever seen. The girl, Ai said something like Chrona Blaster and the boy said Badaboom. I wanted to desperately laugh but it would probably make them mad and I don't want any crying until the last week at least. I took out my book and pen and began writing my essay. Hm, main points to the article of a man accused of raping a Jewish girl…it are always the Jews.
Several moments later I caught the ball just as it was kicked by Ai. I complemented on her shot and threw the ball back. Suddenly I heard a beeping noise and it sounded like it came from Ai's weird necklace. Note to self: give her some fashion sense so she will be prepared for teenager hood. I was interrupted by my thoughts when a white fog surrounded the whole backyard.
"Ai! Mako!" I cried running to where I just saw them. They were looking around with a serious expression. "We gotta get out of here!" I cried taking their hands but they shook it off.
"No we have to fight!" cried Ai still looking around her. Mako nodded.
Chapter 2
"Fight? What do you" I began but a loud thud interrupted me as a giggle came from behind me. Don't get me wrong, I was a tough girl but I just had to be the stupid girl in the movie and turn around slowly to meet up with big yellow eyes. Screaming I attempted a punch but it hit cold metal. I saw that the monster had a sword out. It looked like a human in face save from its blue and black outfit but it reminded me of those Japanese warriors what are they called Sumi? Who gives it was going to kill me and these kids!
"What do you want?" I whispered putting the children behind me. If I was going to die, I would die while protecting these kids. Tears were going to pour out of my green eyes soon and I wouldn't stop it.
The creature spoke of silence which creep me out of my skin. Everything seemed lost. My life, my friends, my family, and heck I didn't even get a first kiss yet!
"Impmon!" called out Ai. I looked back and before I could ask what the heck she was doing a strange creature came out. It looked like a toddler but with fur and big floppy ears. It had strange red gloves and a bandana to match. I was behind it but I could see a barbed tail that flickered naturally.
I was shaking beyond belief but that was the least of my worries when the purple 'Impmon' yelled something incoherent to my ears and blasted a tiny fireball to the monster. It didn't work, not that I could tell for sure but it didn't collapse or anything.
"It's not working!" Mako cried. "You gotta digivolve Impmon!"
Digi-what! Wait it was coming back to me…there was an incident all around the world about a program called D-Reaper destroying the world. I wasn't too far from the city where it was struck the most. Toronto Canada had it worst as it causalities were about five hundred. It even took one of my friends, Ethan Colons. God, I was depressed and didn't eat for about a week and had that Goth mood.
I saw that the Impmon guy started to glow a bright yellow light. He grew bigger about several feet more than me and trust me, I'm about 6ft. The tail became more metal life and lost its barb tip. The ears disappeared but I could definitely see huge black wings. The light faded and there stood in front of me was a cross between and dark angel and a biker.
"Yeah get him Beelzemon!" called out Ai she was standing up cheering as if it was a soccer game. Sure enough the digimon as I recall Beelzemon was taking out his gun and shooting the thing. It disappeared and the barrier lifted up but I didn't care. I cared that I was with a real digimon; I could have been killed by a real digimon.
"You okay kid?" the biker digimon asked. I frowned the one thing I hated was being called a kid. I didn't care if my grandma would call me 'kid' I still hated it.
"You wanna try and call me kid again or would you like to keep your head?" I said hotly standing up. The digimon shrugged and mumbled a sorry. I sat down again overwhelmed by the fact that I just threatened a digimon and it could kill me in seconds.
"Don't worry Lindsay. Beelzemon won't hurt you he's with us." Mako said helping me up. I nodded dumbly as the biker dude returned into Impmon. Now that I could see him more clearly I wanted to go hug the little guy because of its cuteness. He had large green eyes with a small black nose and a fang that stuck out of its mouth. Actually he looked like a Pokemon but alive! He had an evil smiley on his white belly and I had an idea that this guy was a trouble maker.
"How ya doin toots names Impmon and don't forget it" he said holding out his three fingered hand. I shook it and replied a small hey and warned him about calling me toots. He shrugged and smirked as I rolled my eyes. I asked how long they had been together and he replied with half a year. I came to a conclusion that their parents don't know about Impmon and reassured that I'll keep a secret.
"This is gunna be a long two months." I said in English. Mako and Ai looked at me oddly but to my surprise Impmon just agreed…in English.
"Wait a minute you can speak English too?" I said in English once again. He nodded and replied that he could speak a lot of languages. It just came naturally to them which I found very hard.
"Then I found a real purpose to you after all!" I cheered and told him about my homework situation. He frowned and replied he doesn't do people's homework which made me a little annoyed.
"Don't worry about him. He's just mad that he doesn't know how to read yet." Mako said picking up the soccer ball left on the yard. "Here you go Lindsay."
"Thanks and it's Linds." I replied taking the ball and suggested lunch. They all nodded their heads and scrambled inside. As I prepared my specialty of PBJ, I wondered if Impmon always protects the twins. He replies as their partner he has to and there they all explained their adventure with Impmon including the Halloween episode. In the end of their story I was cleaning their dishes and my glass of water hoping to calm me down. It was incredible that I was so composed in this situation.
"Hey what's this?" Impmon asked holding my I-pod.
"My I-pod. Go ahead use it." I said as I turned it on and put the head phones in his ears much to his discomfort. I explained the buttons and he went on his way listening to Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park. I laughed a bit and suggested to Ai and Mako a movie. They agreed and picked out Ice Age. Good movie since it was Christmas soon. I suddenly thought about the children and their parents being away for Christmas. That's pretty harsh I mean my mom is away for most Christmas but just the morning and my dad is there all day. I should spend it with these guys they need it more than my family does.
As the movie trudged on I see that the kids are getting sleepy a bit but I just shrugged and went on. I looked around and found Impmon at the stairs still listening to my I-pod. I should just wave good-bye to it because once he has it on it will take forever to get it off of him. I looked again and saw that the twins were sleeping peacefully. I thought this was a good time to call up my friends and talk to them. I started to head up the stairs and jumped over Impmon who didn't notice me. I listened to what he was listening to and realized it was another Linkin Park song.
"Hey Katrina. Yeah I'm fine you?"
The discussion went for about an hour until I heard some small talk down stairs I told my friend I had to leave and soon enough I found Impmon curled up beside the twins fast asleep. The I-Pod was on the stairs with the power off and everything. I took the object and turned it on. The song was Ready for Love by Cascada and it was a supreme favorite of mine. I cranked up the volume and nodded my head to the music. I looked outside and realized that it was getting pretty dark and the kids were going to get up soon.
"Hey welcome to Matsuda Bakery how may I help you?" I heard them say on the phone. I looked on the phone book a million times for some pizza and this was the closest thing to it.
"Hi, can I have a double cheese pizza?" I asked timidly. After a few more minutes on the phone I was relived that the pizza would be here in 10 minutes. They must have a car or something because the bakery was about 20 minute run.
"Linds who was that?" asked a sleepy voice. I turned around to meet the twins and Impmon rubbing their eyes. I thought I would die of how adorable it was but I just smiled and explained to them about getting dinner on the go.
"I had pizza once. I was really good." Impmon said casually to the twins. I smirked.
"It's a daily diet for a Canadian like me. Think of it like your rice. You guys eat a lot of rice right?" I was still confused on the customs that the Japanese do but I might as well show them what Canadians do.
The bell finally rang and I rushed to the door with money in hand. I opened it to reveal a boy around 13 carrying the pizza. I was confused when I noticed that there was no car.
"Heh, what did you do fly here?" I joked but I stopped laughing when I saw it. I could have sworn the Godzilla movie was based off of this guy when I saw the huge red dinosaur. I wanted to scream but the boy explained to me he was a good guy. This was when I thought he could have been a digimon.
"Yeah, he's Gulimon…say how did you know about-oh hey Impmon." The boy looked behind me and saw the imp like digimon. I started to remember Impmon explaining about a boy named Takato who had a Gulimon.
"Your Takato right?" I asked. He nodded and I introduced myself as Lindsay Rose.
"Hey pineapple head!" exclaimed Impmon to the digimon. "Anything going on lately?"
"Well, Takatomon and Jeri got together." Said Geomon but was shut up by Takato sitting on Geomon and telling him to be quiet.
"Aw, that's sweet." I said politely. We said our goodbyes and I saw how Takato got here. Gulimon glowed until he grew into a huger dinosaur and Takato got on him. I stood there mouth wide open and closed the door.
"Get used to it toots." Impmon said but before he could continue I kneed him.
"Wanna rephrase the toots part Impy?" I smirked as he growled. I set the pizza down and got out some plates and glasses.
"What do you guys want?" I asked. Ai said Orange Juice while Mako said Grape Juice. Impmon said a beer.
"Haha Impmon funny want some Tequila or Rum?" I asked. He replied with a shot of Tequila.
"Smartass." I said in English.
"Okay guys you better be tired so go brush your teeth and all of that good stuff." I said as I scooted them up the stairs. Impmon trudged along but not before smirking at me.
