Chapter 3
One year later, not much had changed. All was peaceful…. until the sounds of an explosion resounded throughout the area.
"Kit! LOOK OUT!" Rena cried as she tackled Kitane, her partner, out of the path of an energy blast.
"Oof!" Kitane grunted eloquently as he hit the ground. As the pair stood up, he gave Rena a crooked grin. "Thanks, I don't know what I would do without you."
"Heh, surely you jest," Rena countered with a small smile.
"Nah, I never - HEADS UP!" Kitane interrupted himself, pulled Rena down with him as he ducked another energy attack. He sighed. "Why do these guys always interrupt? This is getting old… Get ready, Rena!"
Rena nodded and jumped high into the air as Kitane pulled out a blue card from his pocket. The background seemed to change into an orange and red fire, time going slow as he swiped the card through the D3 strapped to his wrist. "Digivolution!" His yell echoed as Rena dissolved into particles of data, reforming into a digi-egg.
I wonder if that hurts? Kitane wondered absently. I'll ask her later.
A sort of shadow formed behind the digi-egg, which in turn began dissolving, filling the shadow with data. The shape began spinning rapidly at the same time, and finally, it was done, revealing Renamon in her Champion form, Kyuubimon the nine-tailed mystic fox!
"Rena! Let's fry this pest!" Kitane cried.
Rena smirked in acknowledgement, raising all nine of her tails as she prepared for her most powerful Champion technique. Bluish flames appeared at the tips of her tails. "Fox Tail Inferno!"
The blue fox fire that had formed around Rena's tails became brighter before ghostly faces appeared on the balls of flame. Rena launched all nine fireballs at her opponent, destroying him in an explosion of energy.
"That's going to leave a mark," Kitane quipped as the digimon burst into blue and red particles. Rena landed on the ground and absorbed them, healing what few wounds she had. As soon as she was done, she returned back to her rookie form, Renamon, in a flash of light.
"Great job, Rena, you're getting much stronger!" Kitane praised.
"Well, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you, Kitane." Rena leaned over and lightly pecked Kitane's cheek.
Kitane returned the cheek with a smile before his gaze turned towards the sky. I wonder… He sighed softly to himself.
Rena, with her fox ears, heard the sigh loud and clear. Tilting her head to the side quizzically, she asked, "Hm? Is there something wrong, Kitane?"
Kitane looked down and smiled at Rena. "Nah, nothing's wrong."
Rena gave her friend one of those looks that says quite clearly "I know you're hiding something." "Something's wrong, I can tell. Woman's intuition."
Kitane's smile broadened in amusement. "Nothing's wrong," he said cheerfully, sending his partner a sly smile. "I'm fine!"
Rena seemed unconvinced, but let it go. "Alright, if you say so."
"Let's find some food! I'm starting to get hungry!" As if to emphasize the point, Kitane's stomach growled loudly at the mention of food.
Rena tried to smother her giggles, but failed miserably. Then, when her own stomach gurgled, Kitane started laughing with her. "Let's go find some food," Rena said, wanting her stomach to stop growling like a hungry fox. Wait, that's what I am, Rena remembered. She repressed a groan. I must be REALLY hungry if I'm making comparisons like that…
After ten minutes of walking, the pair found a rather tall apple tree. "Perfect," the two of them breathed at the same time. Rena jumped high in the air and sliced the stems of four apples, catching two of them for herself while letting the other two fall into Kitane's waiting hands.
Several minutes later, Rena was comfortably full and was unable to suppress a yawn. Kitane noticed. "Sleep, it's safe here."
"Alright," Rena agreed sleepily, snuggling up next to her partner and leaning her head on his shoulder. Within moments, she was asleep.
Kitane smiled at her. It's been over a year since I met Rena… I wonder how I missed how cute she was… "Sleep well," Kitane murmured, kissing Rena softly on her forehead. He closed his eyes to get some shuteye as well.
Dreamscape
Kitane suddenly found himself in a clearing. Looking around, he saw Rena fighting a huge swarm of bug digimon. Immediately wishing to be there and help out, Kitane picked up his feet and began to run…or tried to. He was stuck!
Looking down to find the source of the problem, Kitane's eyes widened when he saw what held him captive. Around his feet, holding him down, was a dark mass that was slowly crawling up his leg… Consuming me, Kitane realized. He tried to yell for Rena to come back and help him out so he could help her, but nothing emerged from his throat.
Deciding to try hand signals if he could make no sound, Kitane looked up to signal Rena, just in time to see over a dozen blasts of red energy strike Rena at the same time. Time seemed to slow down as Rena began falling backwards to the ground.
Kitane screamed his rage and with newfound strength born of desperation and anger ripped free of the bonds of darkness, rushing to Rena and picking her up in his arms.
"Rena! Rena! Speak to me!" Kitane yelled, tears beginning to form in his eyes.
The fox digimon opened one of her eyes and painfully smiled. "Ki-Kitane…" she breathed right before dissolving into a pile of data.
"REEEEEEEEEEEEENAAAAAAAAAA!" Kitane screamed.
End Dreamscape
Kitane's eyes shot open as he breathed heavily, noting the cold sweat that was surrounding his body. Almost desperately, he looked towards Rena, who Kitane was relieved to see still slept on his shoulder. Letting loose a quiet sigh, Kitane gently took Rena's head off of his shoulder so he could stand up and pace, as he always did when he needed to clear his mind.
Walking several feet away from Rena so his ranting wouldn't wake her, he began to shake himself mentally as he paced. "Get a hold of yourself, Kitane! But still, what the hell brought on that dream?"
"Actually, that was more of a vision, Kitane," a voice said from his left.
Kitane was so shocked he just about jumped right out of his skin. "What the - who's there?!" Turning quickly to confront the trespasser, he was surprised to see a floating white orb. "What the hell?"
The orb split into two, then, and a dark mist came out, slowly coalescing. Gotta be a digimon, Kitane realized, pulling out his D3 and scanning. On the screen appeared a digimon that looked like a man with a long white beard and a staff with intricate runes on it. "Wisemon, ultimate level, primary move is Eternal Nirvana. This is not good." Kitane got into a battle-ready stance, and prepared to wake Rena up.
Wisemon, on the other hand, only raised one hand. "Don't worry, Kitane, I'm not here to fight."
"What? How do you know my name?"
Wisemon smiled. "I am the prophet of the digiworld. I know everyone."
Kitane relaxed out of his stance. "Alright… but what do you want?"
"I was sent to give you the vision you had… and to give you a warning," Wisemon said gravely.
Kitane blinked. "So, what's the warning?"
"Don't let the darkness control you." Wisemon disappeared in a puff of smoke as soon as he finished that sentence, leaving Kitane with more questions than he had originally started off with.
Walking back to the tree, Kitane's mind was full of questions. If that was a vision, when does it happen? What the hell were those bonds of darkness? And just what did Wisemon mean by 'Don't let the darkness control you'?
Rena stirred then and opened her eyes with a yawn. "Where'd you go, Kitane?"
Kitane was brought out of his thoughts by that. "Oh, you're awake?"
"Yeah. Where'd you go?"
"Oh, just for a small walk to stretch my legs. Come on, we should get moving." Helping Rena to her feet, they started heading north.
"Is there something wrong?" Rena asked, turning her head at Kitane.
Kitane uttered a small groan. "Not this again…"
"Well, you don't look rested. Bad dream?"
Kitane froze at the words. "More like my worst nightmare…" he muttered softly under his breath.
Unfortunately for Kitane, Rena's ears still gave her very good hearing, so she heard every word. "Nightmare?"
Kitane sighed. "Might as well tell you… I doubt you'll let it go until I do… So, long dream short, I dreamt that you were facing a huge swarm of bug digimon, and that despite my efforts, I couldn't get to you. I finally got out right as you were hit by so many energy blasts… I got to you just in time for you to dissolve into data in my arms."
Rena was at the same time horrified at the dream, and glad that he dreamt of her. Going out on a limb, she decided to pursue a suspicion of hers. "Wow… and I'm guessing something else happened on your little walk?"
Kitane looked at her incredulously. "How do you do that?"
"I knew it! So, what happened?"
Kitane proceeded to tell her about the encounter with Wisemon, including the cryptic warning. At the end of it, Rena seemed pensive.
"Hmm. You should heed his warning. Wisemon's warnings are usually correct."
"Great," Kitane groaned. "Just my luck."
"Don't worry," Rena said seriously. "You have me to make sure you don't get controlled by the darkness."
"Thanks," Kitane said gratefully, upon which Rena gave him a kiss on the cheek, giggling.
Kitane blinked in confusion. "Huh? What was that about?"
"Oh, nothing," Rena said cheerfully. She started jogging away. "Try and catch me and I might tell you!"
Kitane shook his head and took off after her, letting his worries die away for the moment as his feet carried him. Of course, he had no chance against a speedy digimon such as Rena.
Rena quickly lost Kitane in the trees and hid, peeking out to keep tabs on how far away Kitane was. What the hell? Why did I have to kiss him? Now he'll think I'm a pervert or something… but he's all I could ever want…maybe he feels the same as me?
Lost in her thoughts, she never noticed someone approaching her from behind until she felt cold steel being held against her throat. "What?" she gasped.
"Ssstay sssstill," her captor hissed, stressing the 's' in his words. "Wouldn't want to kill you, not until your trainer gets here anyway."
Summoning up a calm, cool expression, she asked, "What do you want with Kitane?"
"Ah, ssso Kitane hasssn't told you yet?"
"What are you talking about?"
The stranger gave a low laugh that sent shivers up Rena's spine. "When he gets here, you will ssee…"
Just then, Kitane came running through the bushes in search for Rena. But he came across a sight most unexpected: Rena had a knife to her throat by something - Kitane was too experienced to assume someone - in a dark hood.
"What? Rena!"
"Get away, it's a trap!" Rena screamed.
"I wouldn't be leaving if I were you," the mysterious figure said cryptically.
"Let her go!" Kitane growled.
The figure laughed in a creepy hiss. "Ah," he said, "You haven't changed a bit, Kitane…"
"What do you mean? Who are you?!"
The figure's voice turned smug. "You don't remember me, my friend?"
"That hissing noise! It feels as though I should know…" Kitane murmured. The figure, seeing Kitane's confusion, used its free hand to pull off the top of the hood, revealing a scaly humanoid face. "WHAT THE HELL?!"
"The name is Keiji," the newly identified figure stated. "Ring any bells?"
"Keiji?" Kitane asked. "Hmm…" He paused to think for a few moments. "That does sound familiar, but nope, I don't recognize you."
Keiji seemed disappointed. "Not even a little?"
"Sorry, no."
"Huh. Well, no matter. You will remember it after thissss!" Keiji stated firmly, his snake tongue emphasizing every 's' sound. "Time to ssssay goodbye to rena, Kitane!"
"How about a 'Hello'?!" a different voice said from behind Keiji. Turning his head around incredulously, Keiji's eyes widened to see a bomb flying at his head. "Sssshit."
The bomb slammed into Keiji's face and burst into smoke. Keiji knew, even as he coughed and hacked from the smoke, that he was very lucky he was holding onto Rena at the moment, as otherwise the bomb may very well have been a real one and truly blown him up.
As Keiji was trying to reorient himself, a fist came flying out of the smoke. A split second later, the rest of Kitane followed. "LET HER GO!" he roared.
Not thinking clearly from the smoke, Keiji removed the knife from Rena's neck to attempt a stab at Kitane, but to his utter astonishment, a shuriken - ninja star - flew out of the smoke cloud and knocked the knife from his hand. Well, ssshit. Wisssh I'd kept my knife where it wasss, ssso I would sssstill have had a hostage…
"WISTERIA PUNCH!" Kitane bellowed, landing the powerful blow and sending Keiji air-born. Keiji emerged from the smoke and slammed into a nearby tree, knocking him out cold.
Now that the battle was over with - though Kitane kept an eye on the snake that called itself Keiji, just in case there was a trick - Kitane rushed over to Rena, pulled her into his arms and kissed her with all the relief and happiness that she was ok.
Several seconds later, Kitane broke off the kiss to see a stunned Rena. Being the fox she was, Rena quickly recovered. "W-What was that?" OK, maybe not fully recovered, but at least she could speak.
"Oh, Rena," Kitane murmured, "I thought I was going to lose you before I had the chance…"
"The chance? For what?" Rena asked
Kitane looked directly into her eyes. "The chance to tell you that I love you."
"You, you love me?" Rena gasped. This is just a dream, isn't it? I was knocked out by that Keiji guy wasn't I?
Kitane nodded.
Oh well, if it is a dream better make the most of it! Rena jumped into Kitane's arms and this time she was the one to initiate the passionate kiss. Unfortunately for the two of them, there was someone else who needed to interrupt.
"Well, it's good that you've discovered your feelings for each other, but we need to get out of here before more of them get here," the voice that had surprised Keiji stated.
Jumping apart and blushing - though Rena's wasn't nearly as visible, thanks to her fur - Rena and Kitane looked at the newcomer. Or rather, newcomers, for there were two of them.
The first was apparently a human, dressed in the stereotypical black ninja garb, while the other was, much to Rena's surprise, a Renamon. The ninja stepped forward and clapped his hands together in greeting, bowing. "My name is Theron Taijia. Please call me Theron. My partner here is Kira." Kira gave a small nod of acknowledgement.
"Thanks for saving us, Theron," Kitane said gratefully.
"Eh, no problem, bro."
"What?"
"Hm?"
"What do you mean, 'bro'?"
Theron put one hand up to his forehead. "Boy, they really must have messed you up, Kitane," he said exasperatedly.
"Who's 'they'?" Kitane asked with just as much exasperation.
Instead of answering, Theron tilted his head over to the unconscious form of Keiji. "Him and the people he's with. Speaking of whom, we should tie him up so he doesn't cause us any more trouble." Pulling out a rope, he tossed one end to Kira. "Ready, Kira?"
Kira merely nodded. Rena was beginning to think that Kira only spoke when absolutely necessary, or she was mute. Then again, it's rare to find a mute digimon…
Mute or not, Kira and Theron ran around the tree at an equal speed, rapidly tying Keiji to it. When not much rope was left, Theron used the rest to tie a very tricky-looking knot.
"Wow," Kitane complimented. "Efficient."
"Thank you," Theron said. "Now, let's go ahead and set up camp."
"What? Why?" Rena asked.
"Well, we should get comfortable," Theron said. "By the way Kitane socked that guy, I'd say he'll be out for three or four hours."
"And why would we want to be here when he wakes up?" Kitane asked.
Theron looked at Kitane with a look that somehow stated that Kitane should have known this already, though how that was possible through the face mask Theron was wearing was beyond Kitane's comprehension. "So we can interrogate him. I've been wanting to know why they've been on your tail for two years now. Also, why did they kidnap you?"
"Eh? Kidnap me?" Kitane asked.
Theron sighed. "Don't you remember? I suppose not, seeing as you don't even remember me… Well, you always were pretty clueless, but I guess I should start from the beginning."
"Sounds good to me," Kitane agreed. "But what do you mean, clueless?"
"Well you are," Rena unexpectedly agreed with Theron before snuggling up with Kitane.
"I am not," Kitane argued, though his voice had little fire in it. "Well, maybe sometimes… but anyway, tell me what happened."
"OK. It was a dark and stormy night…"
"Wait!" Kitane interrupted. "Was it really? That line's been used too often with fictional stories."
"I mean it! It really was a dark and stormy night!" Theron insisted. "It was raining so damn hard no one went outside for fear of being struck by lightning!"
"Fine. Go on."
"As I was saying," Theron began again, clearing his throat. "It was a dark and stormy night when a group called 'The Seven' came to our town. No one understood why they were outside in such a horrible storm, but it soon became apparent what, or rather who, they wanted. You, Kitane. The Seven began blowing stuff up, destroying buildings with people inside and everything! Then you went outside to protect us all, Kitane. You were the strongest of our town, and you were our protector!
"But the Seven were too powerful and it was seven against one," Theron said sadly. "They overpowered you easily and knocked you out. Then, while you were unconscious, they decided to destroy the town, presumably to stave off any rescue attempts. And they did destroy the town, and every single living being in it. Except for me.
"I somehow survived, having hidden in one of my favorite hiding spots. When I left the safety of that little hole, all that was left were the smoking remnants of the village… and the charred bodies…"
"Wow," Kitane and Rena breathed. Either Kira had already heard this story, or she was just stoic, but in either case, she had no reaction.
"How come I can't remember any of that?" Kitane asked.
"Well, I think the Seven erased your memory for some reason," Theron theorized.
"But why?"
"No idea, bro," Theron admitted. Just then, Keiji began to stir. "Then again, he might."
"Urgh… damn that hurt…" Keiji groaned. He opened his eyes and counted the faces in front of him. There'sss Kitane… and Rena… and there's another Renamon and some ninja freak. "Well, ssssshit."
