THE CREST OF UNITY: Part One
A NINTH DIGIDESTINED?!
Here's watcha been waitin for! The first chapters! Oh! And uh….
Blah blah blah I don't own Digimon!!! [Nor am I making any money! Don't sue!!!] J
Matt had found his way back to camp only to find everyone else awake, excitedly discussing something. He cleared his throat and they all turned to look at him.
"Matt! You're okay!" said Gabumon happily.
"Yeah- we wondered what had happened to you!" Tai added. Matt shrugged.
"I just went for a walk that's all" he replied indifferently.
"Couldn't sleep huh?" Sora chimed in sympathetically.
"Something like that- so what's everyone up for? You weren't worried about me were you?" the blonde asked out of curiosity.
"Well, of course we were worried about you but there was something much more important to discuss…" Izzy began. Matt sat down with the others with a questioning look on his face.
"I woke up earlier to the sound of my computer beeping-" Izzy gestured to the laptop. He checked to see if everyone was listening. They all waited in silence for him to continue. "- I discovered an urgent email from Gennai with some exciting news. Apparently there is a ninth digidestined that has been here for a few months who unfortunately has no idea we are here and has somehow managed to stay out of our sight" Izzy paused to get his breath.
"Yeah- the ninth digidestined is a girl and Gennai wants us to find her before Myotismon does!" Kari finished for him dramatically.
"Uh oh…."
thought Matt. "I must have been right about that girl Harmony…""YES! Another girl!" Mimi said happily, clasping her hands together. "Someone else to share my great sense of fashion with!"
Sora rolled her eyes. "What makes you think she'll be into clothes like you? She might like sports like me…"
Matt stayed silent as he watched the two girls argue, the others all formed sweatdrops. TK diverted his attention to his brother.
"Hey Matt, what are you thinking about?" he asked, noticing the distracted look on the blonde's face. This announcement caused everyone to cease all movement and turn to look at him. Matt was startled by the sudden attention and rubbed the back of his neck with one hand in embarrassment.
"Ahhh..well, ya see I don't know how to say this but ahh…I think I've already met the ninth digidestined." Everyone fell back in surprise.
"And you didn't tell us?!" Tai yelled at Matt.
"Hey! You didn't give me a chance-" he started to argue back.
"Well? Who is she? What's she like? When did you meet her?" everyone began to question him, causing him to feel like an imprisoned animal.
"SHUT-UP!" he yelled them. The rest of the digidestined and digimon fell silent. He took a deep breath.
"Look- I only met her a few moments ago…when I went for walk…"
"WHAT?! Then she must be near by! Why didn't you bring her here- if we're quick we could catch up to her-" Tai began. Matt shook his head.
"I tried to talk to her…she just acted really scared then she and her digimon just took off"
"Huh? That's weird" Joe stated, confused. "why'd she do that?"
"I dunno, she was just going on about some guy named Andante then started crying and ran off"
"Wow" Sora breathed "I wonder what was wrong…"
Matt nodded his head. "Yeah- I wish she hadn't run off like that…"
She was really beautiful.
He added in his own head."Well, did you find out anything about her at all?" Tai asked.
"Uh…well, her digimon's name is Tigramon…I think that's when it's in it's rookie form…and Tigramon called the girl 'Harmony'…"
"Harmony? That's a pretty name!" Kari piped up.
"Yeah….it is…" Matt trailed off.
"Well? Is that it? Anything else?" Izzy probed him.
"Uh….well, she has a dead brother…that much I know.." he said bluntly.
"ohhh….how horrible for her!" Mimi interrupted, with a reply worthy to start her crest glowing again.
"Yeah" Matt agreed, thinking about TK again. "The only other thing I can think of is really just a guess, but I don't think she has any idea she is a digidestined- neither does her digimon…" the whole group fell silent in surprise. The blonde continued. "From what I could see, she doesn't have her crest yet…she has a digivice but she doesn't seem to know what it is for. That's about all I know."
Everyone remained silent; including their digimon, lost in their own thoughts. It was Tai who was the first to speak, with a reply of a true leader.
"Well, I think we should get a few more hours sleep then head out to find this girl- Harmony, was it?" he looked at Matt who nodded. "Well, the ninth digidestined anyways…we better find her as soon as possible- we can't let Myotismon get his hands on her!" Tai stated with determination. The others all agreed.
"Yes- we will proceed in the morning" Izzy confirmed. Everyone murmered their goodnights and were soon fast asleep…everyone except for Matt. He laid back with his hands behind his head looking at the moon.
"Hope I'll see you again soon, Harmony" he looked around at his friends and then clutched at his crest.
"At least before Myotismon does".
THE CREST OF UNITY: Part Two
THE APPEARANCE OF TIGRAMON
Mimi collapsed on the ground. "I don't think I can walk another step!" she whined, taking her hat and fanning her head with it. "It's so hot!"
"Mimi! We have to keep moving!" Tai said, annoyed. To his surprise Sora and a couple of the digimon sat down too. "I agree with Mimi, Tai! It's so hot and we have been walking for ages- we need a break!"
"Yes-not to be pig, but I think a nutrition break is in order!" Tentomon spoke up, gesturing at his stomach. Izzy grinned and everyone murmured their agreement. Tai sighed.
"Fine then- we'll have a short break. Anyone willing to come with me to find some food?"
"I will!" Sora said and got up from her sitting place next to Mimi. "Me too!" said Biyomon. Agumon also decided to go along. As the small group walked off into the forest, Matt sighed and wandered a short way from the rest of his friends. He leaned against a tree as he thought about Harmony and took out his harmonica, losing himself in a slow blues tune.
Tigramon lifted her head weakly at the sound of the song. Painful…to move…must find help…
The flash of lightening, Harmony's terrified scream for help. There were bats everywhere and a harsh, evil laugh could be heard from behind the black wall of wings. The bats were attacking Harmony who was attempting to fend them off with her whip; the repeated sound of it cracking the air…Tigramon leapt to her defence only to find herself face to face with a large digimon with long black wings that trailed to his feet. He wore a mask, his fangs protruding from underneath.
"Foolish digimon! You cannot beat me!" he laughed. "CRIMSON LIGHTENING!" Tigramon howled in pain as she was whipped repeatedly with the red electricity. The bats surrounded her and began tearing at her flesh. She fought them off weakly with her claws, not causing enough damage for them to leave her alone.
"No!" Harmony screamed tearfully. "Please! Take me! Just leave her alone-"
"Hmmm, how noble of you…I suppose I should leave a calling card for those meddlesome digidestined and their pitiful excuses for digimon." The vampirish digimon called the bats off of Tigramon but ordered them to capture Harmony. They picked her up and she rose up in the air crying.
"It'll be okay Tigramon!" she cried as her digimon tried to get up but collapsed again. "When the digidestined find you, tell them this is from MYOTISMON!" the evil digimon roared with laughter as he slammed the crimson lightening into Tigramon one last time. The last thing she heard before everything went black was Harmony screaming.
Matt stopped playing suddenly. The others looked in his direction as the beautiful melody ceased.
"Are you alright Matt?" Gabumon called over to him.
"Uh- yeah, I just think I heard something" he looked around confused. Everyone came over to join him.
"Shhh" Mat motioned for the others to be quiet. Suddenly they all heard a low growl.
"Oh no!" Mimi whispered "What if it is another evil digimon!"
"Don't worry Mimi! I'll protect you!" said Palmon confidently and stood in front of her human companion.
"Alriiiiight! Who's out there!" she yelled.
"PALMON!" Matt said in annoyance. "Quiet! We have no idea what-"
The bushes rustled and everyone stared in shock as a rather dilapidated digimon stumbled out of the bushes.
"HEY GUYS!" Tai, Sora and the others were back. "We found a great supply of food-" Sora stopped, as did Tai, Agumon and Biyomon when they saw the badly hurt digimon. They dropped the food and raced forward to the others.
"Please-" gasped the digimon. "Help me!" she collapsed on the ground.
"Oh the poor thing!" Mimi said, stroking her head. "Mimi! Watch it- we have no idea whose side that digimon is on!" Joe said in caution.
"I do!" Matt spoke up and everyone turned to look at him. "That is Tigramon- Harmony's digimon" he stressed grimly. They all fell silent as they realised the complication of his words.
"I guess we are staying here tonight" Tai voiced their thoughts. The others moved to create a good campsite while Matt picked up the digimon and moved her near to where the fire would be. He watched, fear clutching at his heart for Harmony, as he got a good look at numerous burns and lacerations. Mimi and Joe began to tend to the badly hurt Tigramon, who moaned.
"Myotismon" she whispered. Matt whipped his head around to look at the digimon.
"What?" the others all came over one by one as they realised he was talking to the cat.
"What did you say?" he coaxed her.
"Myotismon.." she repeated, "did…this- please…help- Harmony…" her eyes closed and her body went limp.
"Oh no!" Mimi cried. "She's not dead is she?!" she said fearfully. Joe felt for a pulse.
"No- she's alive, but barely."
"So…what does this mean?" Sora said slowly.
Matt stood up and clenched his hands into fists. "He has her- Myotismon- has- Harmony" he said slowly and deliberately.
Everyone stood in shocked silence. They turned to Tai- if they ever need a leader, now was the time. He stared into space for a few seconds before turning to the others.
"We have to find her." He looked at Matt.
"Before Myotismon kills her"
