I'm accepting Oc's, not as full characters but they can appear as cameos. Feel free to tell me what you'd like them to do and the best ones will be done. Enjoy this chapter and read and review.
Cruel,violent sandstorms ravaged the land. It was like a never ending hurricane of sand. Small golden fragments,as tiny as dust flew in every direction. Tearing away at anything in their path. The Ancient Desert was a very dangerous place. Even to those who were frequent visitors. The ones who survived anyway. Will had wanted to travel through the forest next to the desert, he was willing to even travel by the empty underground tunnels. As luck would have it, they were gaurded. He needed to avoid a conflict right now. Otherwise he'd lose his biggest advantage. Even if it meant walking miles in the sand,awkward shapeless sand. How he loathed it right now.
Pulling close the long black cloak, Will shielded himself from a powerful hit of the sand. He glanced down at his partner , doing the same. If anyone saw them,they'd swear they were avid explorers who knew how to handle the situation. They'd be right. Just a bit more. They were nearly out of the chaos. It made sense why this route hadn't been gaurded. It was suicide. They just needed to make that last push. Despite having a black visor to protect his eyes, Will instinctively shielded his eyes with his arm. Nearly out of it. Stumbling a tiny bit, they were out of it. The pair jogged a small distance to make sure they were out of the worst of it. Will looked back, it was mesmerising to see all the sand being blown about. Controlled by the wind, able to fly away without any real destination. Will laughed loudly. That was the easy bit. Time to work.
Will watched as his partner shedded the heavy gear used to get through the desert. Lightmon. Will's Digimon partner. They were a team and best friends. Lightmon was the same as a Gabumon basically. Just no horn, a darker skin ,and a brown coat instead. Lightmon rubbed his eyes and yawned. Typical. Fourteen hours of sleep and still tired. Will pulled down the visor, glad to have it off. Always nice to see things without some sort of filter. He had chosen to wear more or less the exact same as he had in the clearing with Tai. Will took in the landscape for second. Calm, golden sand. The type you see in holiday brouchers. Will sighed, no fun to be had here. Not today.
" I'm just going to set things up , chill out for a bit." Will knew Lightmon was already sitting down relaxing , but felt it was always better to say it so Lightmon didn't feel guilty. Will pulled off his bag and searched through it. He pulled out a small black pole that been folded many times. Unfolding it, he set it into the sand. It was a long black pole that sat on three legs with a small red light at the top. A basic beacon.
" We'll call this point A. Get in, get out, get here, grab the stuff and head into the forst. They'll think we hit the storm and give up." He prayed Lightmon was listening. He knew better, Lightmon paid more attention than he did at the best of times. Will pulled out his Digivice , checking the becon appeared on his Digivice. His Digivce was the size of a normal touch screen phone. It was housed in a light blue grip. The screen took up the top half. The bottom half of the device were five buttons. Four directional and one enter button. At the top was a small usb connector. The top half of the back of it was a scanner. His Digivice wasn't just a conventional one. Even he didn't know it's full capability. Will quickly shut off the becon. He left his bag at the becon , filled with everything he'd need later. He chose to carry a smaller bag on his back with everything he may need or lose right now.
"Let's go." Lightmon glanced at Will and smirked a little.
"Is it time?" Lightmon's voice was high and happy, no matter the situation or the impending battles ahead, he was always happy. But he was always thinking too.
"Nearly."
Will and Lightmon walked carefully to the top of the tallest dune. It was tricky to climb one so high without falling. Once they reached the top, it was clear why they had chosen that one. Near by, a small town. It was deserted, or it was meant to be. Old wooden houses falling apart. Streets with pot holes every where, uprooted trees. It was a mess. It looked like it had been a nice place. Will had pulled out a pair of binoculars and was scanning the small town. Will glanced away and pulled out a small black device that he flipped open. A faint signal was coming from the middle of the town. Bingo, Will's mind shot into overdrive. Looking back through the binoculars, Will noticed the considerable amount of solider Digimon. Mainly champions , some rookies. Whoever this was, seriously underestimated the power of the Digidestined. Probably expected the attack on Odaiba to have done more damage, Will thought.
"We'll go with plan B. Just to be safe." Lightmon almost jumped for joy. It wasn't often he got to use his Mega level. The two slid down the dune quickly. Will held out his Digivice. Lightmon was quickly enveloped in a golden light, changing forms easily and quickly. Will turned his back to his Digimon and ran, it was going to be an interesting rescue. Will crept into posistion. It hadn't taken long to get to the first house. Will stayed glued to a corner and peeked round. He looked towards the centre of the town and saw a large white building,only one floor. He always did like a good challenge.
How long had it been now? Four? Maybe five days? Sora glanced around. Nothing changed here. Nothing ever changed in her small cell. She was all alone. Alone with her thoughts. She had no idea where she was. Biyomon was elsewhere. She had no idea. Sora looked outside the bars, he gaurds were gone. They had mentioned something about an irregularity. Her thoughts began to trail off. A huge explosion had rocked the area. Sora was even thrown off blanace. She quickly stood up to peek out of the window at the back of her cell. Something shot past. Something big, something powerful. Something moved at the far end of the building she was in. Quickly moving back to the bars , something ran up to her cell muttering something.
"He started shooting early. Typical." She assumed he was talking to himself. Another explosion shock the area. They looked at each other for a second. He paused what he was doing and stared. She returned the stare. What on earth was another human doing here? His eyes seemed so tired. In contrast, his was already moving, already working. She hadn't even said anything he began to do things. He pulled out a small device and held it to the locks. What was he doing? The lock made a noise , it was unlocked. How did he do that? He quickly opened the bars to the cell and walked away. She was left there, staring at the open cell. She could leave? Was she dreaming? He quickly walked back.
" I don't know how you usually do rescues" He spoke quickly, there was a subtly smooth irish accent in his voice
"But if I don't save you, Tai will have me killed. Now come on!" Tai. He said Tai. He proceeded in grabbing her by the wrist and actually pulling her out.
"Do I have to carry you as well?" He asked, she wasn't sure if he was joking or not. She finally found her voice.
"What about Biyomon? I can't leave without her!" Sora cried out. The man had turned his head slightly when she spoke. He couldn't have been much older than her.
"She's being taken care of." He replied cooly. She looked at the back of his head. He wasn't alone?
"There are others here?" She asked. He laughed.
"You could say that." They burst out the front doors of the building. It was chaos. Buildings were falling apart. Some had been completely destroyed. Craters littered the roads. Fire was everywhere. Burning away at everything it touched. It was as a bomb had gone off.
"Warrior-Strikemon." Will said quietly and cooly. Everything went silent. Out of no where. A large looming figure appeared behind the boy that had rescued her. A tall knight. Amazing armour. Pale blue trimmed with white. The knight was well built. He looked as if he belonged with the Greek gods. Dark pale yellow eyes bore down at her through the helmet. If evil had eyes, this was it. The long white mane from the helmet swayed in the wind, followed by his long glorious cape. Easily ten to tweelve foot tall. Sora backed away slowly. The young man looked at her.
"Don't worry. This is my partner Lightmon, in his mega level. Warrior Strikemon." The young man smiled, he knew she was scared. She had never noticed, cradleded in one arm was Biyomon. He carefully handed her to Sora. The young man and the knight looked at each other and nodded. The knight shone a brilliant gold before changing into a smaller form. One similar to Gabumon but different in sublte ways. Again,engulfed in a brilliant light, he changed. In his place was now a very large white wolf. Red tribal markings adorned its body. Black nails and teeth. It was big as Garurumon, but more heavily built.
"I'm Strikemon now." Came the heavy gruff voice from the wolf. There was kindess hidden in it. Strikemon lowered himself to allow Sora to climb on.
"He never does that for me." The young man remarked.
" We never get any female company, thats why." The wolf replied simply , clearly leaving the young man at a loss for a words. An explosion destroyed the building behind them, bringing them all back to reality. The young man jumped easily on Strikemon and they took off. Sora held on for dear life. How such a large heavy Digimon could move so fast was beyond her. They were now clearing a huge amount of land. She was just glad to be away from the cell.
"My name's Will. Nice to meet you Sora Takenouchi!" Will laughed loudly, clearly enjoying the speed. Sora looked puzzled.
"How do you know who I am?" She asked, confussed, too much had happened.
"Tai sent me. He gave me basic details of what happened." Will was still laughing.
"So what now?" She almost had to shout over the sound of the wind as they roared across the desert.
"We meet Tai and the others or we go and help others. Depends what he e-mails me in the next few days. As for now, we hide and camp out." Sora said nothing and held on.
"Right now, we're fugitives from whatever force that was. They won't be happy about you being gone. We need to hide , just for a little bit. No matter how strong the Digimon is, an army can always bring them down." Will patted Strikemon, as if remembering some distant memory the pair wish to forget. They had rocketed to the check point. Will quickly pulled down the becon, took out his binoculars and looked in the distance. They were being chased. Will swore quietly.
"Strikemon,into the forest, like we planned." Will said calmly. Sora was impressed with how organised this had all been done. Gone. She nearly fell from Strikemon as he shot across the small patch of sand and into a thick forest. Strikemon manuerved gracefully between the trees. The pair were now on the run. Sora began to wonder, just who was he and how did Tai know him in the first place? Her heart jumped at the thought of Tai. He had sent him. He did care. Of course he cared she thought. A question loomed in her mind. Why hadn't he come himself? Could Agumon be hurt? A million possiblities swam in her mind.
