DIGIMON: LEGENDS

PART 1

By: Izilldur's Scrolls

CH 3: The Universal Digivice

As minutes turned into hours Takato began to feel desperate. "Biyomon…how much…farther?" he moaned. "Don't worry, we're almost there. Just a few more miles." she said not even turning around to face him. "A few more miles!" he repeated. If things weren't bad enough, he didn't even have food. Biyomon said nothing but smiled as they walked through the forest.

Suddenly Biyomon stopped, she had a emotionless expression as if she was turned to stone. "we're here." she said quietly pointing toward a small thicket of bushes that seem to make some sort of cave. "She's in there but be careful, she doesn't like visitors." Biyomon said with a stern voice. Takato gulped as he walked ahead. "uh…Viximon…are you home?" he croaked out.

At first there was no answer then he could see something standing within the shadows in the plant-like cave. "Go away who ever you are, leave me alone!" a female voice yelled. The figure of viximon was about to turn away when Takato finally had no choice but to take the risk. "Wait…I just have a question I need to ask." he pleaded. "well I've got an answer, and its 'go away!'" she snapped. Harsh, Takato had never really like Rika's cold personality, but to hear it from viximon made him want to run. But he wouldn't, he had to know it this viximon was indeed Rika's partner. "I just…want to know if you know anyone by the name of Rika?" he said quickly. There was a silence and Takato was crossing his fingers. "Takato…is…that you?" she asked slowly. "Well what other goggle wearing heroes do you know?" he said proudly. Saying that was probably the stupidest thing he said because just then, a small yellow fox-like digimon came jumping on top of him. Viximon hit him with so much force, that she actually knocked him his feet and onto his back. "Takato its really you! I cant believe it! Where's Rika is she here?" she shouted with glee. "no she isn't she isn't with us." he gasped.

"WHAT! Is she in danger? Is she-"

"No what I meant is that she isn't even in the Digital world. Neither is Henry." he tried to explain. Viximon hopped off of him and had a sad confused look. "What do you mean their not here? Wait, if Rika didn't come for me the why are you here?" she asked intensively. Soon as Takato was back on his feet he explained everything that happened. From finding the digi portal to almost getting killed by a pair of goblinmon.

After Takato finished his story, Viximon's expression still didn't brighten up. "my original plan was to just find Guilmon and get out, but then I started thinking and thought why not bring everyone back?" he explained. This would be a difficult break through, seeing that already he was walking on thin ice with Rika back home. "well, where do we start?" said Viximon. Takato made a confused look not knowing what she meant. Viximon rolled her eyes in frustration. "Finding the others." she said further trying to clue him out. "The others…Oh! I was thinking about that. Uh…well…I really don't really know where to start exactly." he said scratching the back of his head.

Viximon for the second time rolled her eyes. of all the Tamers, it had to be Takato that came to my rescue. Lucky me. she thought. "I guess we're going to have to get rid of those goblinmon before anything don't we?" she exclaimed. "But Viximon, how are you going to digivolve without your partner?" asked Biyomon in a worried way. This was the first time that Viximon even noticed the pink digimon. Even if it mattered, Viximon didn't show it. "No, but I can still fight." she said proudly. Takato began to wonder how he got himself into this mess. If only there was a way to help Viximon digivolve. Then those goblinmon wouldn't stand a chance! He began wishing he had brought Rika and Henry with him on this wild goose chase.

The last thing he wanted was to tell Rika that Viximon was destroyed and end up in the hospital for life. "You can't fight!" Takato Exclaimed. Viximon turned around surprised. "If Rika found out that something bad happened to you, she would go through the roof! Besides Viximon, their rookie level and right now you cant compete with that." said Takato. Viximon never knew he cared. It was like a sudden slap-in-the-face-wakeup-call kind of thing. For once in her life and though she hated to admit it, knew he was right. "We should go back to the village and try to think of a plan." said Biyomon. Takato and Viximon both nodded their heads and followed her back to the village. As soon as they arrived, the floramon froze as if turned to stone. Takato wondered what the matter was then saw that they were all staring at Viximon. According to Takato, the floramon didn't look too happy.

"What is she doing here?" said a floramon.

"She doesn't belong here!" said another.

"She causes nothing but trouble." said another. Takato looked down at Viximon, but she didn't even make eye contact with him. Viximon just wore a sad and ashamed expression. "What's the big deal? Viximon didn't do anything." He Replied.

"She did too. She's the reason we're in this mess." said a floramon

"if it weren't for her, Ogremon wouldn't have stolen from us." said a second one. Takato couldn't believe what he was hearing. It was if all the pieces to the puzzle were jumbled up. "I'm afraid it's true." Viximon said sadly.

Takato looked at her in surprise. "Ogremon was harassing the village and I thought they should defend themselves even without the help of Garurumon. But they wouldn't listen, and so I took it upon myself to stop him. However, I just made it worse and now instead of taking food, he's taking prisoners." she explained. Takato stood there for along time but then smiled. "You did nothing wrong. You were just trying to protect them and they should know that. Plus I'm sure we can beat them if we just believe we can." he said confidently. "But Takato I can't digivolve." Viximon replied. "No, but there's always a way." he said. Viximon didn't know what he had on his mind but it wouldn't be long to find out.

Suddenly an explosion erupted down the village road. The floramon gasped and ran for cover as a large green troll-like monster appeared from the dust. He had a pair of long horns, white hair, and mean looking sharp teeth. He roared in triumph of the destruction he caused as several goblinmon giggled evilly behind him. "Oh no! Its Ogremon!" Viximon yelled. If Takato had a plan, now was the time.

-Meanwhile...

Meanwhile in West Shinjuku, Henry lost track of how many times Rika waltzed Back and forth across Her room muttering to herself. He sighed knowing no matter what he said, would end up immediately in a mental trash can. When Yamaki gave Takato's parents the real reason of his disappearance, Yamaki nearly put his mother in a coma of panic. His worst worry was seeing Takato having fun with Guilmon in the Digital World and forgetting about everything else. Though he hated to admit it, He was jealous that Takato left without them. Henry was pretty sure there was some good reason Takato left without even telling them. Or that he just flat out forgot all about his friends' concern. Henry didn't even know what he was thinking, and it was probably better that way.

Henry's thoughts were then sent back into reality when Rika slammed her fists on the wood table. "That's It! I'm tired of just sitting here, we've got to find a way to the Digital World!" She growled. Henry shook his head in dismay. "I already told you that I checked Guilmon's hideout and the portal was closed."

"Yeah but-"

"All we can do now is wait, and hopefully…we'll see them again." said Henry. Rika stood there looking down at her shoes. She felt like a statue not knowing was to do.

Just then a bright light came from Rika's digivice and then disappeared. She looked at it puzzled and then wondered what it meant. Henry looked just as surprised as she was. "I wonder if that indicated Renamon's signal!" Henry exclaimed. Rika didn't know what to think. If it was possible, then maybe Takato was fine after all.

-Back in the Digital World...

"Killing Stone!" declared Viximon as she turned to stone and rammed into another goblinmon's chest. The goblinmon waved their clubs wildly smashing everything in sight, even each other. "Hey! Me remember you! You go make trouble with me friends." growled Ogremon. Viximon smirked and dodged Ogremon's club in the nick of time. Sweat began to crawl down Takato's face as he watched helplessly as Viximon dangerously danced around Ogremon.

The more she spun around him the angrier Ogremon got. "That's it! Bone Club!" he roared. Pain pierced into every inch of Viximon's body as the heavy bone club struck her. She sprawled across the ground and stopped right in front of Takato's shoes. He stood there devastated, unable to think what to do. Tears began to drip from his eyes as he watched the bruised Viximon struggling to get up. Emotions began to boil inside him until Takato couldn't take it anymore. "I wish I could help my friend!" he pleaded.

As Ogremon walked toward them laughing evilly, a sudden bright light shined over Takato's head revealing a strange digivice that had no color. Takato stood there amazed and a bit confused as it floated down to his palms. He took a card from his pocket and saw that it was a blue card. "Unbelievable, this is just what I need!" he exclaimed. He held the strange digivice up high and swiped the card. "Digi Modify! Digivolution Activate!" he echoed. Viximon stood up and began to glow feeling stronger every second. "Viximon digivolve to…Renamon!" she said.

Where viximon stood was a tall beautiful yellow fox standing on two legs, she had violet gloves with yin yang symbols and eyes the color of ice.

"Takato, how did you-"

"Renamon watch out!" he warned. Renamon jumped in the air just in time as a heavy bone club came slamming down onto the ground. "Ooh you pretty! Me like!" said Ogremon. Renamon took a look of disgust as he stepped back towards Takato. "I don't think so bad boy." she said coolly. She flew up in the air and spread her arms "Diamond Storm!" she called as hundreds of glowing diamond shape leaves appeared before her. They darted down and deleted four goblinmon all at once. As Renamon loaded their data, Ogremon began to look like a ripe cherry. "Why you! Me get you for that! Overlord Fist!" he roared as a blast of dark energy shot from his outstretched fist.

It flew past Takato's head and blew up a house behind him. "That's it! Time to take this seriously. Digi Modify! Hyper Speed Activate!" Takato exclaimed as he swiped the card with the colorless digivice. Renamon zipped to the side with lightning fast reflexes causing Ogremon to miss again. Ogremon's eyes began to spin and make his dizzy as Renamon dashed around him in circles. "Digi Modify! Power Increase Activate!" shouted Takato. With strength surging through her, Renamon soared into the air. "Power Paw!" she called as blue flames engulfed her fists and feet. With a few punches and kicks Ogremon came tumbling down. To finish him off, she jumped up and did Diamond Storm one more time. Screaming in agony, Ogremon dissolved into particles of red data. Seeing their master destroyed, the remaining goblinmon fled from the scene and into the woods.

Later that day when the sun began to set in the west, Renamon walked over to Takato who was tinkering with the strange digivice. "How did you make me digivolve when I'm not even your partner?" she said calmly. Still messing with buttons and not even looking up, "I don't know, I just wanted to help and this digivice appeared." he replied. Renamon raised an eyebrow as Takato continued to mess with the digivice as if it was some sort of videogame. Suddenly a man's face appeared on the digivice screen, "Shibumi?" Takato said with a look of confusion. "Takato, if you get this message I guess that means that you got there okay. This is a Universal digivice or a U.D. unlike your normal digivice, this one will allow you to modify and even digivolve your friends' digimon. However it is only a temporary gift. Once you leave the Digital World, it will delete itself so use it wisely. Hope to see you soon and good luck!" he said disappearing from the screen.

After with that said. A strange green card appeared on the ground. Instead of the normal holographic image of a yellow "D" with a digimon inside, there was a set of three in a row. this card looks like it could come in handy. Better save it for later. he thought putting it in his pocket. When Takato looked up a giant white wolf digimon with blue stripes stood before him. Its golden eyes stared at Takato with deep intention. Renamon jumped in front of Takato in attack position. As minutes pasted the two strong digimon stood motionless until the wolf digimon grunted in pain and laid on the ground. "Oh no Garurumon!" Biyomon called as she came dashing toward them. Renamon released her tension when she realized Garurumon was not a threat. "Mighty Garurumon what happened to you." asked Biyomon as she dressed his wounds. Garurumon winced as Biyomon bandaged his cuts. "Great enemy within the forest. Defeat it I did, however returned with wounds of battle." Garurumon growled softly. The floramon stood in a crowd of awe and concern as they watched Biyomon mend him.

After Biyomon was finished Garurumon began to glow and then shrink. The floramon looked on in panic as he continued to shrink. As the light died down. A striped dog-like digimon with a gold horn on its forehead stood with a bandage on its arm. "GABUMON?" they all said in surprise. "Hi guys." Gabumon said sadly. Many floramons' mouths seem to drop to the ground when Gabumon tried to explain. Even Renamon was surprised. "Gabumon, how come you never told us you were Garurumon?" Biyomon asked. "Well I wanted to tell you but if I did, Garurumon's legacy would be ruined. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you, I just wanted to protect you." Gabumon replied. As Gabumon looked at his former friends he was sure they were going to pound him into the ground. But instead, they came rushing in with hugs. Renamon made a slight smile and then looked at Takato, "Now that I've digivolved back to normal, we might have a better chance of finding our friends." she said quietly. Takato smiled and nodded in agreement. "yeah, we'll be going home soon." he said proudly.

The next day, the floramon and Gabumon came to see Takao and Renamon's departure. "I wish you well and hope you find your friends soon." Gabumon said cheerfully. "We sure will, we'll come back and visit someday." said Takato. "Now that Ogremon is defeated, we can now rebuild our village and have enough food for ourselves and its all thanks to you." Gabumon said again. As Takato and Renamon were about to leave, Biyomon came running shouting, "Wait! I'm coming too!" stopping in front of them wheezing for air. "Biyomon, its far to dangerous out there. Besides, Ogremon was just the beginning who knows what other digimon are out there." Takato replied.

"I agree, you should stay here with your village." Renamon said also.

"But, I want to come with you. I want to help Takato." biyomon said sadly.

Both Takato and Renamon stood there silently unable to decide what to do. They both knew that the dangers were far from over. Which, rarely stopped for the tamers anyway. "If your going then I want you to have this." said Gabumon behind them. The three turned around to see Gabumon walking toward them with a necklace with a odd blue medallion. It had a symbol of a circle with a swerve line in the center, and two arms going opposite directions. Gabumon put it on Biyomon who in which blushed as he did. "Take this as a reminder of us and know that you always have a home here Biyomon." said Gabumon. Biyomon thanked him and stood before Takato and Renamon. They both looked at each other and then finally nodded. "I wont let you down, I promise!" she said proudly.

Gabumon and the floramon all waved as the three heroes reentered the forest with promises made and a hope in their hearts. Biyomon looked back only once knowing that her life would change forever.
