Chapter 2: Training the Diamond
The others returned to camp with the fire wood and bright green apples. "We got 'em!" Zoe smiled as she laid down her fire wood with Tommy's in a pile
"Same here." Koichi smiled as he, Koji and JP put their Meat-Apples in a pile
"And we've got the beds ready." Takuya said while Koji had started the fire
"Time to cook." JP smiled as he put the Meat-Apples onto sticks and placed them near the fire
"What now?" Storm asked as everyone started to sit down by the fire. Crystal smiled and sat next to Takuya while Tommy sat at the other side followed by Storm, JO, Koji, Zoe, Bokomon, Neemon and finally Koichi. Zoe glared at Crystal for snuggling up slightly to her 'would-be-boyfriend'
'Why that little...' she thought, full of venom
"I think Bokomon should tell us what's going on." Takuya said, either not noticing Crystal slightly snuggling up to him or not caring "And tomorrow we'll get your Spirit's guys."
"Okay, that sounds like a plan." JP smiled
"Wow, a plan from Takuya!" Zoe smiled, jokingly "I thought I'd never see the day!"
"Well, there's a first time for everything." Koji smirked, joining in on the teasing
"Hey!" Takuya complained
"Yea, leave him alone!" Crystal added
"Bokomon, what's going on?" Tommy asked
"Well, there are three powerful Digimon who believe AncientHadesmon was right and murdered by the other three Royals." Bokomon explained "They also know a way to revive him even stronger then he was originally."
"What?" Takuya said "They want to bring back an ancient Digimon that is stronger then the Legendary Warriors with even more power!"
"Yes." Bokomon nodded "You see, they believe only AncientHadesmon can lead the Digital-World into a new era of them being in control."
"In other words; they want to bring him back to get more power for themselves." Zoe said
"Exactly." Bokomon nodded "But it will take allot of power to bring him back so they're breaking down the Digital-World for the power."
"Who are they?" Koji growled
"Megidramon, Machindramon and Kimeramon." Bokomon said
"What about the Celestial Angles?" Takuya asked hopefully "If they are back to full power they can give us even more power then before so we can kick these guys' butts even easier!"
"They are being held prisoner at there castles by their evil counterparts." Bokomon said
"Evil counterparts?" JP asked
"Yes." Bokomon nodded "Seraphimon is being held by Daemon, Ophanimon by Lillithmon and Churubimon by his corrupt form."
"So we go to free the Angles first!" Takuya said, striking his fists together "Seraphimon's castle is closest, let's start there!"
"Well, to be precise they're not Seraphimon, Ophanimon and Churubimon now." Bokomon said
"What do you mean?" Tommy asked
"After you left and the Angles returned to their full power, Agunimon and Lobomon gave the Angle's power back to them allowing them to Digivolve." Bokomon explained "Seraphimon became DawnSeraphimon, Ophanimon is now LightOphanimon and Churubimon is AngelChurubimon."
"If they're stronger now then before how where they able to be captured?" Koichi asked
"There where dark army's that weakened them down to their minimum power during battle and are now held in their Rookie forms of Patamon, Salamon and Lopmon." Bokomon explained "I think that's enough for now. Especially not the Meat-Apples are ready."
"Sweet, I'm starved!" JP said before grabbing one and taking a bite into it. His eyes widened before he yelled "OW! OW! OW!" While jumping up and down and running around while trying to find some water. The others where laughing at the pour boys luck
"Man JP, you are so impatient." Koji said, shaking his head
"What do you expect Koji, the man loves is food." Koichi smiled
Half an hour later everyone was halfway through the pile of green Meat-Apples Zoe and Tommy brought back
"Who's going to take the first watch?" Tommy asked
"I will." Takuya smiled
"You sure Takuya?" Zoe asked
"Yea, I'm the only one who is able to Spirit Evolve so I should be taking the shift all night tonight." Takuya said
"All night?" JP said "Taki we can't let you do that, it's not fair!"
"No but is the best chance we've got to make sure everyone's going t be safe." Takuya explained
"But I can Spirit Evolve to so I should take at least half of the shift." Crystal explained
"No." Takuya said "You're new to Spirit Evolution so you get exousted quicker and easier than us. Also, your Spirit is the strongest we've got so far so we need you at full power."
"But what about you?" Crystal asked "You could get really hurt!"
"But your Spirit has some sort of healing power." Takuya said "You've already used it, remember." It was ore of a statement then a question
"Okay." Crystal said, giving in. She then turned to the white Digimon that was their guide "That reminds me, Bokomon what was with that healing power I used?"
"Part of the power of the Spirit of Gemstone." Bokomon explained "Is is said that the Queen of Gemstone, AncientCrystalmon, had the ability to heal people using the light of her body made of pure gemstone."
"Wow." Crystal said in amassment
"Well, we better get to sleep." Zoe said before yawning
"Yea, we've got to get our Spirits tomorrow and then we need to find all of the other Royal Spirits." Koji said
"That sounds like a plan." Koichi nodded
"Yea." JP agreed
"Well, you guys should probably get to sleep." Takuya smiled as everyone else nodded
"See ya tomorrow." Zoe said as she went to a leaf bed and lied down under the makeshift covers
"See you in the morning." Tommy said with a yawn
"Whatever." Koji muttered as he lied down
"Don't let the bed bugs bite." Storm smiled as she closed her eyes
"Night." Koji, JOP and Crystal coursed as they all closed their eyes. Takuya went and sat next to the fire and Bokomon and Neemon both fell asleep next to a tree. He waited a few seconds before walking towards Crystal's bed and lightly shaking her awake
"Wake up!" he whispered as Crystal slowly opened her eyes
"What is it?" she asked groggily as she opened her eye
"I thought you wanted training." Takuya smiled
"O... Okay. Let's go." Crystal said sleepily as she stood up and they walked into the woods. They walked far enough so the others wouldn't hear them but close enough that they could get there quickly "So, what first?" Crystal asked
"You need to Spirit Evolve." Takuya said
"Okay." Crystal said "Easy." She then raised her D-Tector to her face and staired at it in stubbornness for a few seconds before dropping it and saying "I have no idea how to work this thing."
"Neither did I at first." Takuya said as e walked up to her "Here, let me show you." He then went behind her and grabbed onto the hand that wasn't holding the D-Tector by the wrist while he held onto the D-Tector hand and the D-Tector with her
'Oh my god!' Crystal thought 'He's holding my hand in that romantic way that they do in action movies!' a blush slowly covered her cheeks as she thought of what could follow until Takuya started his explanation
"First you need to hold out your D-Tector and focus on your form." He explained as he pushed Crystal's arm as far as it would go. Crystal closed her eyes and remembered Diamondmon, the feel of her body being made of diamonds, the power she felt coursing through her body, the instinct of every last movement she made. The symbol of her Spirit Statue slowly appeared on her D-Tector's screen
"Did I do it?" Crystal asked as she opened her eyes
"Yea." Takuya smiled as a glow was now visible from the screen, even from behind the device like they were now you need to focus you energy into this hand." Takuya cotinued as he pulled her D-Tector arm back and extended the arm her was holding by the wrist "Focus on your power." He emphasised as she nodded. She thought of all her strong points and the glowing blue ring of Fractal-Code appeared around her hand
"I did it!" she said happily
"Yea you did." Takuya smiled "Now press this button." He said as he moved her thumb onto the button on the side of the screen and a tinny blaze of energy burned from the scanner at the top her white, red, blue and green device
"Now what?"" She asked as Takuya let go of her arms and took a step back
"Now swipe our Fractal-Ring around your hand and shout; 'Execute; Spirit Evolution!" Okay?"
"Got it." She nodded before she span her D-Tector round in circles as she brought the two together and stopped the very second the scanner hit the Fractal-Ring at the very top "Execute; SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" she yelled as she was surrounded by her Fractal-Orb
"Nice." Takuya smiled as the orb disappeared revealing to him her Human Spirit form
"DIAMONDMON!" Diamondmon yelled out her name in pride
"Now it's my turn." He smiled a she pulled out his D-Tector and slashed it against a Fractal-Ring "Execute; SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" he yelled as he was surrounded by a Fractal-Orb "AGUNIMON!" he yelled as he smashed the orb around his to pieces
"Man, you look really cool like that!" Diamondmon smiled
"Thanks." Agunimon replied, a small blush ion his face
"Well, what are we going to do?" Diamondmon asked
"Spar." Agunimon smiled "No better way of learning to fight as a Digimon then to actually fight!"
"But what if we hurt each other?" Diamondmon asked
"That's why when we spar we use all of our strength but we just try and in each other. Like wrestling."
"Oh... okay." Diamondmon nodded "Wait... I'm talking differently!" she realised as her eyes widened "Last time was talking like an old fashioned judge or something!"
"It's because your Spirit was fighting for you." The Warrior of Flame explained "It was fighting while you took a back seat to learn. A similar thing happened with us but at a lesser extent. So, you ready?"
"I... I think so..." Diamondmon nodded
"Okay then, ready... steady..." Agunimon counted down as he got into a fighting position "GO!" he yelled as he charged forwards and tried to kick Diamondmon in the face
"Whoa!" she said as she ducked out of the way "Watch it!"
"We're sparing, get use to it." The human Spirit of Flame smirked "Come on, what are you waiting for?" he asked as he made a challenging hand jester
"DIAMOND CUTTER!" Diamondmon yelled as her hand changed into its sword form as she charged. She slashed with her bade but Agunimon brought up one arm to block it and kicked her in the diamond gut; one of the only places her diamond skin was exposed
"Nice try." Agunimon smiled as fire surrounded his fist "PYRO PUNCH!" he yelled as he punched with his blazing fists which fired blazing fire fist blasts
"AAHHH!" Diamondmon yelled as she was sent flying into a tree
"Time out!" Agunimon said as he walked towards Diamondmon who was pulling herself up "What was that?"
"What was what?" Diamondmon asked
"That!" Agunimon said "You could have easily dodged those or even use that 'Jewel Magnification' attack and throw it right back at me!"
"I panicked!" Diamondmon yelled back as she glared at him
"Listen, we're not going to spar unless I know you won't 'panic.' Okay." Agunimon said calmly "I'll train you with your attacks." Diamondmon looked at him in confusion. He was angry a second ago and now here he was still willing to train her even though she had just caused her ass to be kicked "What should we start with?"
"What?" Diamondmon asked
"What move should we start with?" Agunimon said
"My 'Diamond Cutter' attack maybe?" Diamondmon asked
"That seems like a good one." Agunimon nodded "Now, get ready."
"DIAMOND CUTTER!" the Warrior of Gemstone yelled as her sword returned into its blade like form "Now what?"
"Come at me again." The Warrior of Flame said. Diamondmon nodded and charged. She went to slice at his chest but Agunimon leant back and the blade flew right over him. She then went for his left arm but Agunimon turned to the right
"Stand still!" Diamondmon growled as she aimed for his legs but Agunimon jumped and back flipped over the diamond made Digimon
"Why should I?" Agunimon asked "Your opponents won't." She then went top slice his head but Agunimon blocked it with his arm and kicked her diamond gut again
"I am getting sick of that!" Diamondmon growled
"And there's your problem." Agunimon smiled "You're getting to aggressive."
"What do you mean?" Diamondmon asked
"If you go in without a clear head you'll muck up and end up on your ass like I did to you the first time." The Warrior of Flame explained "You need to stay calm and fight with your head, not your emotions." Diamondmon kept her pink eyes on the other Digimon as he talked, thinking over every word "Now, do it again but this time stay calm."
"Okay." Diamondmon said as she took a deep breath, calming herself down
"Read your opponents movements." the Warrior of Flame continued "When you do an attack they will block, think of a way to counter the block with another strike. Use their own techniques, movements and thoughts against them."
"Get ready..." Diamondmon whispered "... because here I come!" she then charged and slashed for his chest, again Agunimon leaned back and the blade flew over him but as the blade moved Diamondmon changed course and slammed her elbow into Agunimon's chest. The Warrior of Flame fell on his back as Diamondmon stabbed at his right shoulder but Agunimon rolled back wars, the blade barley missing his back
"Nice." He smiled as he charged at her but she did a triple back flip getting away from the other Warrior until she reached a tree which she used to jump of, her blade flying down aimed at Agunimon's head. The Warrior jumped out the way as the blade slammed onto the earth. "So close." The Warrior of Flame smirked
"I know." Diamondmon smirked cheekily as she pulled her sword out of the ground and charged again, aiming a stab to the left shoulder. Agunimon turned to the right at the last second and Diamondmon smirked, slamming her elbow into Agunimon's gut before raising her lag and slamming her armoured heeled foot into the Flame Warrior's neck, slamming him into the ground
"Ow." Agunimon groaned as he stood back up, rubbing his neck "Okay, let's go to another attack."
"DIAMOND MACE!" Diamondmon smirked as her blade changed into a spiked mace 'This will be just like my 'Diamond Cutter' so it will be so easy.' She thought as she charged, trying to slam the face into Agunimon's face but he dodged it by leaning back
"This attack is stronger than 'Diamond Cutter' but it is bigger so easier to see where you're going to strike with it and it is harder for you to be unpredictable with." Agunimon replied "It is best for a combo and also for a surprise close range slam."
"What?" Diamondmon asked as her mace reverted into her hand and she charge at Agunimon and went top punch him but at the last second she yelled "DIAMOND MACE!" and her hands returned into the mace, slamming into his jaw, and sending him into some tree's "You mean like that?"
"Yea." Agunimon said, Biyomon flying around his head "Nice shot."
"Thanks." She replied, returning her mace into her hand and blowing her diamond nails
"Let's work on your blast attack next." Agunimon said as he got out of the tree "You know, the 'Jewel Arrows' attack."
"Oh yea, I forgot about that one!" Diamondmon said as she raised her hand "JEWEL..."
"Wait, don't fire them at me!" he yelled, holding his hands up
"Then what's my target?" she asked
"Here." Agunimon said as he held her hand like he did when he helped her Spirit Evolve
'Oh my god!"' she thought 'He's doing it again!'
"Aim for that tree." The Warrior of Flame said as he moved her arm towards a tree and turned her head to look at it "Focus." He whispered into her ear "Stay calm. Let your power low." He then let go and said "Fire."
"JEWEL ARROW!" she yelled as she hundreds of small arrows made of only diamonds few from her hands ripped a standing tree to shreds "Whoa!" she said
"Yea, you did it." Agunimon smiled "Now, let's try your 'Jewel Magnification' attack."
"O... Okay." Diamondmon stuttered as Agunimon walked to the other side of the clearing
"Ready?" he asked
"Y... Yea." She replied
"Okay." Agunimon said "PYRO PUNCH!" he yelled as he fired a blast of fire from his fist
"AAHHH!" Diamondmon yelled in fear as she covered her face and was, once again, slammed into the tree behind her
"See." Agunimon said "You panic. Just try and calm down. Stay calm and trust yourself. Okay?"
"I... I'll try." Diamondmon said
"Okay." Agunimon said as he decided to use a different attack "PYRO DARTS!" he yelled as he throw loads of small fire darts from his hands
'Here they come.' Diamondmon thought as the blazing hot darts flew towards her "JEWEL MAGNIFICATION!" she yelled as her body absorbed the attack and her diamond body started glowing different colours. She then stretched her arms out and a blast off rainbow coloured energy
"Whoa!" Agunimon said as he jumped out of the way "Now that's my girl." He smirked as he stood up. If her cheeks where made of flesh Diamondmon would have blushed deeply at that comment "Well, let's head back to camp."
"Shouldn't we turn human first?" Diamondmon asked
"Yea, you're right."Agunimon said, scratching the back of his head. The two where then surrounded by Fractal-Orbs and reverted back into their human forms
"Well, I'll race ya." Crystal smirked as she took off towards camp
"Hey, get back here!" Takuya smirked as he ran after her. It didn't take long for them to get back and when they did Crystal was the first one
"Ha, I won." She smirked, but keeping her voice down
"Yea... you did." Takuya smirked
"Thanks for tonight." Crystal smiled
"No prob Cryst." Takuya smiled. Crystal blushed at the new nickname
"Thanks anyway Taku." Crystal said before quickly kissing him on the check and running to her bed. Takuya just stood there for a second and held onto his cheek
"You're welcome." He said as he felt his cheeks where a bit warmer than normal 'I probably just worked a bit too hard during Cryst's training. Yea, that's it.' He thought to himself as he sat near the fire, ready for anything that might attack tonight...
Me: Well, that's the next chapter. I felt that Crystal should have a bit of training so she'd be better when bigger fights come. Also, I really created Crystal to be the rival of Zoe in more ways than one. So, see you all next time!
