"Lobomon: Warrior of Light"
Hey, sorry for the short first chapter. I hope this one is more satisfying. Please enjoy and review!
The train then grew closer to the station which appeared to have buildings made out of metal and the town was built on a cliff side near the forest.
Koji and Daisuke had their heads stuck out their windows as they stared at the town with curious expressions.
"It's pretty cool looking." Daisuke said.
"Yeah, I guess." Koji said unsure as he continued to stare at the town.
"Hey, remember, it's your fault we're here." Daisuke retorted.
"You didn't have to follow me." Koji stated.
"And let you get into trouble on your own?" Daisuke raised an eyebrow at him.
The raven haired boy ignored the girl as he then focused his attention of the town and was surprised when he saw a stream of what appeared to be data rising out of the town and transformed into tall trees that poked up behind the metal buildings.
"What is..." Koji narrowed his eyes at the sight.
As for Daisuke, she simply remained silent as she waited out the ride, curious to get to the train station and explore this strange new world.
Soon enough, the train pulled into the station and when it stopped, the two friends stepped off the train to take in their suroundings.
As they were looking around, a static like noise came from their D-Tectors and the two humans pulled out their devices to see why they were making that strange sound.
"Koji Minamoto, Daisuke Motomiya, commence your search." the woman's voice spoke.
"Search? For what?" Koji asked.
"The Spirits." the woman said.
"Spirits? We're looking for ghosts?" Daisuke blinked in confusion.
"How do you know our names?" Koji demanded.
"Find the Spirits and you will find the anwser to all your questions." the woman promised.
"Nor good enough! I'm not some lap dog you can just order around you know." Koji frowned.
"Just what are these Spirit things anyway? And where are we supposed to find them?" Daisuke asked the woman.
The two D-Tectors then beeped as Daisuke's device went silent, but a green and black orb appeared above Koji's and had a purple arrow that pointed off in a different direction.
"This gets weirder by the minute." Koji muttered as Daisuke pocketed her D-Tector as she looked over the 3-D map.
"Da, you said it." a male voice with a German accent.
Blinking at the sudden voice that spoke, Daisuke looked around and her eyes then roamed over to the train that had brought them to the Digital World.
She hadn't noticed it before, but the train had a face which consisted of a single red eye and what appeared to be a mouth.
"Whoa, did you just talk?" the mahogany haired girl asked the train.
"Da, that was me. I'm Angler the Trailmon." he said.
"Cool!" Daisuke grinned.
Rolling his eyes at his friend, Koji grabbed her wrist and started pulling her along with him away from the Trailmon.
"Come on, Daisuke. We better get going if we wanna find these Spirits." he said.
The two humans then walked off into the town, following the 3-D map as they passed by the white jellyfish creatures and also spotted a few strange creatures that resembled dust bunnies with ears and creepy red eyes.
Daisuke was looking around with wide eyed awe as she saw the strange shapes of the buildings and spotted a flock of large pink feathered birds.
While walking along, the girl heard laughter and paused in her walk as she turned to look to the side where she found two boys running by.
One looked to be a year older than her and was heavy set with spikey auburn colored hair, brown eyes and was wearing a blue jumpsuit that had yellow pockets, yellow sleeves and a yellow collar while his shoes were blue with yellow markings.
As for the second boy, he appeared to be nine years old and had dark brown hair, forest green eyes and was wearing a large orange cap on his head while he had on a white t-shirt that had a green collar and green around the sleeves while his cargo pants were a faded out yellow color and his shoes were white and green.
"That's an accident waiting to happen." Koji commented as he watched the boys run by them.
"They really shouldn't be running around like that. They could get lost or hurt or something." Daisuke frowned.
"Oh well. I didn't come here to play babysitter." Koji shrugged as he continued walking.
"You don't wanna go after them because you hate being around people." Daisuke pouted as she followed after her friend.
"I'm around you aren't I?" Koji asked.
"I don't count." Daisuke stated.
After all, they had been friends for 12 years and had never spent time with kids other than themselves.
They were seen as loners because of this, but the two just didn't like being around other people that much because of how judgemental and cruel kids could be.
Daisuke had actually been beaten by a group of girls once before because they were jealous with how close she was to Koji, the cutest guy in school.
Jun, Daisuke's older sister, found out about the beating and lashed out at the girls for hurting her little sister.
They may argue all the time, but the Motomiya sisters still cared for each other.
"Whatever." Koji said as the duo continued their search.
(Later...)
"Oh, this is getting old." Koji complained.
He and Daisuke were standing in the forest surounded by trees, unsure of where to go next as they stared at the greenery around them.
The D-Tector then started beeping again as the map disappeared and the two humans found a narrow entrance to a cave.
"It's probably safer to stay away from big holes in the wall, but I didn't come here to play it safe." Koji said.
"So, we're totally going in there?" Daisuke asked.
"Yeah." Koji nodded.
"Great." the girl drawled out.
Making their way over to the cave, the two friends walked inside and found a large cavern with a staircase that led them down into it.
"Anyone here?" Koji called and his voice echoed around the cavern.
"Okay, I suppose not." he said.
"What is this place?" Daisuke asked as she looked around in awe at the size of the cavern.
"Who knows? Come on, keep up. I don't need you getting lost." Koji said as he grabbed her hand and pulled the girl along with him.
When they reached the end of the stairs, the two 12 year olds continued walking down the pathway of the cavern that seemed to lead to a tunnel.
Walking down the dark tunnel for twenty or so minutes, the duo finally spotted a faint light at the end and followed it to an opening that had metal bars.
"Stay here." Koji told Daisuke as he then walked over to the bars to observe them.
He reached out to touch them and part of the bars then broke as they fell forward, obviously rusted from age.
Feeling curious, Daisuke walked up behind her friend and drew in a breath of interest when she saw the massive dome shaped room that was below them.
"What is this?" Koji asked in amazement.
The cavern had tunnels that were dug out near the ground and also in the walls high above the ground, meaning that there were access points all across the town from this cavern.
If the town were ever attacked, then the inhabitants could use the secrect tunnels to make their way to the cavern and hide out.
"It's amazing." Daisuke breathed.
"Help, somebody!" someone yelled.
"I'm not a chocolate bar!" a younger voice yelled.
Hearing the yelling, the duo looked down below them to see the two human boys from the town running out of one of the tunnels with a horde of the strange creatures nipping at their heels.
"Those are some nasty dust bunnies." Daisuke commented.
"Help! Anyone! Please!" the heavyset male wailed.
Koji then looked around and spotted a pole that was attached to the wall beside their tunnel and found that it led all the way down to the ground.
"Hold on." Koji warned.
Looking at him in confusion, Daisuke then yelped when Koji wrapped an arm around her waist and he jumped out of the tunnel, grabbing onto the pole and started to slide down towards the boys and the swarm.
Hearing the battle cry that the lone wolf had released, the two boys and the creatures paused in their scuffle as they stared up at the pole as Koji and Daisuke landed on the ground.
Enraged by the smirk Koji had given them, the creatures then abandoned the two boys and rushed over to the new humans.
Kicking the pole, Koji managed to break it and wielded it as a weapon as he charged at the swarm of creatures.
"What are those things?" Daisuke asked as she watched the battle.
Just then, her D-Tector beeped and she pulled it out to see a 3-D image of one of the creatures appeared in her screen with the name of the creature under it.
"Pagumon. Untrustworthy and mean, they may not appear to be a great threat, but it is wise to be cautious." the woman's voice spoke up.
"You don't say?" Daisuke felt her eyebrow twitch in annoyance.
Koji was doing well when he did a hand stand on the pole and then kicked the swarm away before kicking back onto his feet.
"Who's that? Cool." The little boy smiled.
"That guy's serious." The heavyset male said.
Koji was swinging the pole around, revealing his martial arts skills and then held still as the swarm covered him, but he grinned as he then spun around, knocking the Pagumon off of him and they all hit the walls while the leader fell down in front of him.
Daisuke smiled at her friend as she watched him easily defeat the Pagumon and knew that there was no way he would lose.
"Oh yeah, human? Don't smile yet!" the Pagumon yelled as he was covered in data.
Watching curiously, the four humans stared in surprise as the Pagumon transformed into a large creature that was made out of sewage sludge and had red eyes and a mouth filled with fangs.
The creature's stench was also unbearble, it seemed far too much like a garbage can filled with old trash that was overdue to being thrown out.
"I'll eat you up!" he cried out making the two boys yell in terror.
"Raremon, a sewage Digimon. If the smell of its rotting flesh doesn't knock you out, it's Acid Sludge attack will." the woman reported.
Koji then charged at Raremon, intent on fighting him, but was taken by surprise when the creature turned its attention over to the two human boys.
Seeing the little boy trip, Daisuke gasped as she ran over and tackled the boy away just as Raremon spat out his Acid Sludge that hit the ground where the boy once lay.
Holding the boy in her arms, Daisuke glanced over and gasped when she saw that the sludge had melted through the ground and left a hole.
The little boy saw this and shuddered in fear as he clung to the girl's shoulders for protection.
"Y-You okay, kid?" she asked.
"Y-Y-Yeah." he stuttered out.
Raremon then growled as he turned his attention to the girl and the boy, preparing to upchuck his Acid Sludge at them once again.
"Daisuke!" Koji yelled as he dropped his weapon and ran over to his friend and grabbed her arm, jumping away from the attack with her.
As the humans ran away from the rampaging Raremon, the heavyset male was sitting on the ground near a tunnel and stared in horror at the beast.
Then, the goggle head from the train station ran out of the tunnel along with a tall girl and two other Digimon who all took in the scene.
The blonde girl was wearing a lavender hat, a lavender vest that had a hood, a lavender skirt and had on a white t-shirt that had navy stripes that exposed her stomach and she wore navy socks along with white and lavender shoes.
"Ew, it smells!" the blonde whined as she held her nose.
"Spirit, wake up. I need you." the goggle head said to his red and black D-Tector.
"Come on, I'm not kidding here." the goggle head started pushing the buttons.
"Hey Takuya, no pressure, but you might want to think about Spirit Evolving before stinky there turns your friends into goop." the white Digimon with a gray beak and pink belly band said.
"Going somewhere?" Raremon slurred as he backed Koji and Daisuke up to a deep hole that was behind them.
"Come on, come on!" the goggle head, Takuya, was sweating when a strange symbol appeared, glowing orange on the screen.
Daisuke stumbled back and nearly fell into the hole, but Koji grabbed her arm and pulled her into his side as the girl held the little boy in her arms protectively.
"SPIRIT!" Takuya yelled making everyone turn to him as he was then covered in data.
"Execute: Spirit Evolution!"
"AGUNIMON!"
The boy had transformed into a tall male with a mane of sunshine blonde hair that stuck out from the red helmet he wore that had white horns.
His body was covered in red, white and black armour while his boots appeared similar to the feet of a dinosaur or some type of lizard.
Agunimon then charged at Raremon, knocking him back into a wall and then he jumped back when the sewer monster began to spew out sludge that burned away holes in the ceiling.
"Now's your chance. Run!" Agunimon yelled at Koji and Daisuke as they and the little boy stared up at the Digimon in awe.
Just then, Agunimon was covered in data and transformed back into Takuya much to everyone's surprise and slight fear.
"What's going on? I turned back into me." Takuya said in confusion as light began to fill the room from the holes that were made.
"Still here." Raremon sang as he then shot out his sludge.
"Watch out!" Takuya cried as he knocked the boy and Daisuke to the ground, but accidentally pushed Koji back into the hole.
"NO!" Daisuke screamed in horror.
Shoving Takuya off of her, the girl stared down into the pit of darkness that her best friend had disappeared into and gasped in despair.
"No. Please no." she shook her head in disbelief.
Takuya and the little boy stared at her sadly.
Raremon laughed as he spat acid at the wall, creating a hole that let in a beam of light that shone down the pit when suddenly bright light shot out of it making everyone stare in confusion.
"SPIRIT!" Koji's voice then cried out from the pit.
"Execute: Spirit Evolution!"
"LOBOMON!"
Slowly, a new Digimon then rose into the air and his armour seemed to shine from the beams of light that shone around the room.
The Digimon had short platinum blonde hair, scarlet red eyes and had a bluish silver helmet on his head that resembled a wolf's head.
He had a scarf that was light blue and had darker blue stripes on it and his feet looked similar to a wolf's paws while the rest of his armour was silver and white.
"Ah, wow." The heavyset male smiled.
"Man, did I look that cool?" Takuya chuckled.
"Mm-hm. Yeah, but different." The little boy nodded.
"That's the Legendary Warrior of Light; Lobomon." the chicken Digimon read from the large green book he held.
Daisuke stared up in awe and pride at the sight of the beautiful Digimon that hovered in the air before her.
He was truly a magnificent sight to behold.
"I've never seen anything more beautiful in my whole life." The blonde girl blinked.
"Me either." The heavyset male said.
"You can say that again." Takuya smiled.
Raremon then shot out his sludge, but Lobomon pulled out his Lobo Kendo and ran at Raremon, slicing the sludge and then jumped up, stabbing Raremon in the head as purple liquid spilled out of him.
Lobomon jumped away and pulled out his D-Tector as Raremon had data surround him.
"Now you talking trash heap, prepare to be recycled. Fractal Code: Digitize!" Lobomon scanned the data and Raremon turned into a digi egg that floated off.
"Molto bravisimo!" the blonde girl exclaimed in Italian.
Lobomon was covered in data and returned to normal, Koji being on his knees as he panted from his energy being drained.
Takuya and the little boy then ran over to him as Daisuke slowly made her way over to her friend as the other two humans and Digimon walked over.
"Hey, you okay? Let me help you up." Takuya offered his hand.
"Don't touch me." Koji growled out.
"W-What?" Takuya gasped stepping back.
"I don't need your help or anyone else's." Koji panted as he then stood up.
"Ignore him. He's just moody." Daisuke teased as she walked over to stand at the newly claimed Warrior of Light's side.
Sending the girl a look of annoyance, Koji then turned his attention back to the boy who had been claimed as the Warrior of Flame.
"But I guess I should thank you for saving me. I always repay my depts." Koji stated.
"I didn't do it so you'd owe me, you know." Takuya pointed out.
"My name's Koji Minamoto and you are?" he asked, but was met with silence.
"So, are you going to tell me? I can't repay you if I don't know your name." Koji said impatiently.
"I'm Takuya Kanbara." He answered.
"Takuya, huh? See ya." Koji scoffed as he then walked off.
"What's his deal?" the heavyset male asked with his arms folded behind his head.
"So, who are you?" Takuya asked the shorter girl in the room.
"I'm Daisuke Motomiya. And you guys?" she grinned at the group.
"This is Zoe, JP, Tommy, Bokomon and Neemon." Takuya smiled as he gestured to each of his friends who stood behind him.
"Hi!" Zoe chirped as she smiled at the other girl.
"What's up?" JP greeted.
"H-Hello there." Tommy smiled up at the girl who had saved him.
"Nice to meet you all." Daisuke said as she then stared down at the chicken Digimon and what she assumed to be a yellow bunny in red pajama pants.
That or a yellow kangaroo wearing red pants, she wasn't sure.
"Daisuke!" she heard Koji call for her.
Rolling her eyes at her friend's impatience, the girl then turned and ran off as she waved at the group.
"See ya around!" she called.
The others just stood back as they watched the duo venture into a tunnel, leaving them in the cavern.
"They're a weird pair." JP commented.
"I don't know. I kinda liked them." Tommy said.
"The girl didn't seem so bad, but the boy seems to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder." Bokomon rubbed his chin gently.
"I didn't see any chips. Can we get some? I'm starving." Neemon said making Bokomon fume as he glared at the yellow Digimon in annoyance.
"Come on guys, let's get out of here. This place smells like dead fish." Zoe said pleasantly as she crossed her arms behind her back.
Meanwhile, Daisuke and Koji had found their way out of the cavern and were resting in the forest, sitting on a hill top as they watched the adorable jellyfish Digimon known as Poyomon float on by.
"I turned into a Digimon?" Koji asked as he folded his arms behind his head.
"Pretty much. I wonder if we'll all get to do that. That would be so cool!" Daisuke grinned excitedly at the thought.
She couldn't wait to see what this world had in store for them next.
To be continued...
