The siblings reached the alleyway, fleeing the Ghouls chasing them. Davis still held onto the chainsaw. The Ghouls chasing them were closing. The duo turned left, knocking over trash cans, desperately trying to slow the impending horde.
The undead rounded the corner, some tripping over the recepticles, the rest gaining ground.
The first Ghoul was only two feet away from Davis. Just before he could whirl around to face his attackers, he felt pure heat pass by his face. The Ghoul disintegrated, it's remaining mass colliding with it's kin. Davis nearly collapsed with relief, while Jun begin to shout to him.
"Go right!" She exclaimed, before turning to go through an open apartment, just as another Ghoul was dashed aside by a mighty strike from above. Davis followed his sister, before she slammed the door shut. She slid the sofa in front of the door before the continued on their mad dash. They ran up the stairs to the second floor before exiting onto the fire escape. They utilized the relative safety of the passage. They climbed to the roof, just as they heard the Ghouls enter the apartment downstairs.
"Over here!" A voice wafted across from the apartment building on the other side of the alley.
They ran, leaping from the building as the first Ghouls poured onto the top storey, the duo landed on the fire escape opposite, a level lower than before. Inside the apartment, a youngish man wearing robes and carrying an almost alien rifle beckoned to them. The pair slinked in like well fed cats, Jun readied her P7 at the man.
"Calm yourself Jun Motomiya. I won't hurt you." The man said softly.
"How the fuck do you know who I am?" Jun exclaimed, grasping the weapon with both hands, Davis brought his chainsaw to a more aggressive position.
"Please, I am called Genai. I have been sent to find you two." The man, Genai, said to them easily.
"I'd suggest you explain yourself before I show you the colour of your spine..." Davis said icily, his voice dripping with a well devoped venom of apathy.
"Very well then, I shall. I come from a place called the Digital World, it is the manifestation of Earth's communications network. In the world exist many forms of life, called Digital Monsters, Digimon for short." Genai started to explain to them the importance of the Digital World, the evils threatening it, and their future role in saving it. "So that is why," Genai continued. "You have been chosen to be DigiDestined. You will be needed, as predicted by Azulongmon Himself. Your presence shall make a large difference when the time comes." He finished.
"What do you mean?" Jun asked the stranger.
"The time will come when you shall see..."Genai said evenly. "But for now, I have gifts for you. Here, in times of need, they shall present you with means to victory. But for now, they will grant you the ability to survive." Genai said crypticly. He removed two small, square devices with screens on the front from his outlandish robe. From the top-right corner of each extended a pair of wires.
"What are they?" Davis asked as he excepted the one offered to him.
"Digivices, they will allow you to bond with the Digimon chosen to be your partner. Until they are ready to seek you out, they shall defend you." Genai explained patiently.
"How would they defend us? They aren't exactly weapons are they?" Jun asked, voice alight with sarcasm.
"Not yet, but allow me." Genai said as he plucked the pistol from Jun, along with her Digivice. He pulled the clip out and attached the Digivice. Shock and silence prevailed over the siblings as they watched the hand gun change.
The grey metal shimmered and bent, like a ripple in a lake, becoming a pure, light silver. The handle shifted into a wrist brace, and the barrel warped and widened. On the side of the gun, a symbol, like a star ascendant, shone with unattainable beauty. The transformation finished, the gun was longer, with a wide barrel, the slider became slatted and shone a neon blue that had eddies of light swirling within. The wrist guard had a fingerless metal gauntlet now, and it seemed to try to search for the destined wearer.
"This is how it shall defend you. The Digivices shall grant you the means to an end. The skills are yours to acquire, your discretion is the key to their effectiveness." Genai explained slowly.
Genai passed the weapon to Jun, as soon as it met her skin, it emitted a flash of light, brighter than all the stars in the heavens. When the light cleared, the pistol was on her arm, braced to the forearm and covering her hand.
"I-How? What?" Jun stuttered.
"Your weapon has taken the shape most useful to you. It has taken the form of a weapon you are skilled with. The Digivice detected your preferences, your propensity for short-ranged attacks, for power and precision. This is merely an extension of that." Genai explained to the confused girl.
"Davis, may I?" Genai asked as he turned to the lad.
"Sure..." Davis answered uncertainly, forfeiting his chainsaw and Digivice.
Genai removed the battery from the chainsaw and replaced it with the Digivice, wires first. The handle was the first thing to change, from yellow plastic to a matte steel-grey, it slowly shifted, from in the recess it started in to a long, cylindrical grip with a lever mechanism. It looked like a motorbike's handle bar. The blade, shifting and reforming like water. Becoming single edged, and taking on a far narrower, slightly curved shape, gaining six inches in length. The main body changed under the other-worldly energy, shifting to the place exactly between the grip and the blade, getting slimmer and more streamlined and changing from yellow to grey. The change made the tool become a weapon.
The biting blade now resembled a saber, the hilt was a dull steel, meant for attacks from the darkness. A tripartite mark, looking like a burning, bleeding heart on the guard.
"Your weapon speaks of your savagery, Davis. Your ability to force an enemy to fight as you dictate. The ability to commit deadly force to the weakest point, the ability to throw even the most resolute opponent into disarray. That shall be the method that will assure the survival of Japan. Know that if either of you fail, Japan shall fall. Humanity will fall. It is a burden you two must bear. Ever more will be demanded from you, but if you endure, you shall be thanked by Destiny itself." Genai said softly, his voice seemed to be fading away.
"Why us?" Jun asked.
"You were chosen, you have had an experience with the Digital World." Genai explained.
"When?" Jun kept questioning.
"The virus is a mutated one, formed by the fusion of human disease and Digital virus. The plague is being spread by an evil being, Myotismon, who seeks the dominion of both our worlds." Genai explained, apologizing.
"What do the marks mean?" Davis asked.
"They are your crests. They embody that which sets you apart the most. They were created by the Four Great Dragons. They allow you to be a DigiDestined. Jun's is easiest to explain. Yours is the four-pointed star of Will. Where others would except defeat, you will never give up, you will always fight on. You are determination personified, none can deny your Will." Genai answered.
"Davis, yours is slightly different... Yours was created in the aftermath of a great battle, from the destruction of three legendary warriors were the parts of your Crest made. The first part is Honour: that part came from the first warrior, the greatest Honour is the knowledge of when to draw your weapon, and when not to, that was his teaching. The second is purity, the ability to embrace what is in your heart without doubt. The third is sacrifice. The single greatest thing anyone can do is give for what they love. Not for faith, but for love, that is what true sacrifice is." Genai said to Davis. "Together, they form the Crest of Nobility, your Crest." He finished.
Genai passed Davis his sword. This time there was no flash. No smoke. No great crack of thunder as the Gods howled with joy. Only the addition of weight. The sword seemed to adjust to Davis' combat style, the weapon was so very light for a sword of it's size, balanced perfectly for him and him alone.
"Why a sword?" Davis asked.
"The weapon is for you, it takes the form most useful to you." Genai stated. "That is why... Now, I must go, the others need my help. You will meet a Sergeant, Sergeant Kamiya, of the 7th Odaiba Rifles. He is the father of two of the DigiDestined, he will be the one who brings peace between you and Japan. He will help you after Hikkoda." Genai told them as he began to disintegrate into motes of blue light. "Good luck." He said as he disappeared.
The siblings took several minutes to adjust themselves, in the discussion rain had begun to pour at a torrential level, already the roads were to wet for normal use.
They pulled their hoods up and set off, using the buildings sides as a path back to the hotel.
A/N: Hey! Sorry for the wait, next chapter the Digimon arrive, so hurry with those suggestions! About the disease that Genai mentioned: I know, the laws of biology prevent this, but I say this... So? It's fan fiction, I can do what I like, so long as I can explain it, and it shallbe explained soon. Also, if you can, suggest a name for Davis' sword. I really need one.
Thanks for reading, please review.
