Chapter Three:
When You Wish Upon Me:
The Sacred Wising Tree
Darkness all around me…
I can't breath or see…
Can someone…anyone please tell me…
Where am I supposed to be…?
Life or Death…Heaven or Hell?
Huh? Where am I? Takeru found himself in a dark oblivion.
Takeru-sama.
Takeru looked around. A golden spirit appeared in front of him. It had eight white wings. A mask covered his face and he wore a golden alb.
Who are you? Takeru demanded.
I am the Spirit of the Sacred Wishing Tree. Said the mysterious ghost.
Spirit of the what? Takeru gasped.
The Sacred Wishing Tree. You can call me Wish. The Spirit whispered.
Wait a minute reality check. One, a weird ghost appears in front of me; two, a sacred wishing tree. It's got to be the Sundae I ate. Takeru said.
Then can you explain what happened to you when the windows broke? When there was a voice calling you? Wish asked.
How'd you know that? Takeru gasped.
Wish explained. That voice belonged to one of the Dark Spirits, Covet. He is one of then enemies you are going to face. There a re three Dark Spirits total: Covet, Glutton and the worst one Lust. Covet loves taking things he wants from others. Glutton does the same with food. Lust goes after women and that's it (from the word itself, you'll know what it means). Covet is brown, Glutton is grey and Lust is Red. All of them are trying to hinder you from finding the Wishing Tree.
Takeru shrugged. But why do I have to find that Wishing Tree and not someone else?
Because you have the same power as I do. Wish said.
What? Takeru asked.
Trust and Wish. Wish answered.
What do I have to do with those? Takeru asked.
Trust and Wish are the more powerful versions of the crest HOPE. Wish said.
WHAT? Takeru gasped.
If you can get your crest's power to the strongest level, Trust, you can defeat him and claim the wishing tree. Wish said.
Wait a minute, who's the HIM? Takeru asked.
The one the Dark Spirits desire and support, Kageru. His power is DESPAIR. Wish sighed.
Great so I have to defeat this guy in order to get that Wishing Tree. Takeru said.
Not defeat, KILL. Wish said softly.
KILL?! NO WAY!!! Takeru screamed.
You have no choice or he'll risk… Wish showed him through a crystal ball a brunette woman sitting right beside him. She was crying, squeezing Takeru's hand and whispering something that made her sob even louder than ever.
HIKARI?! Takeru gasped.
Yes. Kageru has watched Hikari Yagami for some time and had fallen in love with her. Despite that Kageru is a dark-er- Wish paused.
Dark-what? Takeru asked.
He's the dark side of you created by the Dark Spirits. Though you both have differences in desires and experiences, he had fallen for the girl you love so much. He longed for the life that you have now. He thinks your life is perfect. Wish said.
What do you mean? Takeru inquired.
You have so many friends. You are popular in school. You have a family to take care and love you and you have a girl you can make love with, Hikari. Wish said.
Hikari would never like me! I'm not the man for her. Takeru gasped.
But Hikari is the only person Kageru wants from you. Wish said. He wants everything. Your friends, your father, your mother, your brother and even your powers. In other words he wants to take your place in your life. In order for that to happen, he needs the wishing tree. Wish said.
Oh god why me? Takeru whimpered.
You have to stop him and if you reach the wishing tree before he does, you'll get three wishes. Wish said.
Really? Takeru gasped.
Yes, anything you would desire. Wish whispered.
TAKERU!
Time for you to go. Wish said. If you want to accept my challenge, just call me. Arigato, Takeru-sama. Ja'ne.
TAKERU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"What?!" Takeru got up.
"Takeru?" Hikari looked up at him. Her tear-stained face gazed at him.
"Hi Hikari-chan." Takeru smiled.
Hikari sobbed. "Oh Takeru." She threw herself around him.
"Hi-hikari-chan?" Takeru blushed as he tried to soothe her.
"I was so worried about you! Oh Takeru when Taichi told me what happened I was so worried. I hope my best friend is all right."
Hikari pulled away and smiled. "I've got to go. Got to tell the others. Yamato was really worried about you. He was the one who phoned Tai-onichan about you. I guess he was the one who brought you to the hospital."
Onichan. Takeru was extremely grateful at the thought. He saved me once again.
" I bet he would be happy if I'd tell him. Ja ne." Hikari left his room.
Even if I'm close to demise, it will never take me
As long as I have my one and only you.
Aishteru itsumademo
Til' the end of earth.
OH BABY I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!
Don't shead any more tears, they're a waste of time and power
I'll never leave oh I promise baby I do
I swear that the love that we share
Will last longer than eternity…
Takeru was released from the hospital after three days and his friends kept in touch.
Now he was on his bed. His mother was on a bussiness trip for a week. She phoned the hospital telling Takeru that she would have a babysitter to check up on him but he insisted that he would be fine.
Should I accept it? If I don't then Hikari and the rest will be taken away from me! I can't let that happen! NEVER! Takeru thought.
After taking a deep breath he cried. "WISH!"
At once, the golden spirit made his appearance in Takeru's bedroom. "So do you accept?" Wish said.
"Yeah, I'd rather kick that guy's ass than let him kill me." Takeru grinned.
"Well, the Wishing Tree is located in the nearest theater booth here." Wish said.
"Oh boy, how am I supposed to find a Wishing Tree in a theater?!" Takeru gasped.
"There is a portal there in the theater which leads you to the Shadow World." Wish explained. "In the Shadow World, the Wishing Tree is dying. Its spirit needs light energy from you. In return, it will grant you a wishing fruit. The energy it gets from you is the energy of your heart. But many had granted the Wishing Tree energy but it is evil and dark that is why the tree is weak because it can't receive light energy which it needs, it is still hungry. The tree spent 345 years not eating light energy. It needs energy now or it will perish and the Shadow World's gate to this world will be unlocked since the Wishing Tree is the shield of this world from the Dark ones."
"OK then when do I start?" Takeru asked.
"Now." Wish raised his crystal ball.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!"
Takeru dropped down a *leafy* bush. "Ow, can't that guy just give me a proper landing."
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Takeru looked up and PLOP! A huge *living thing* fell on top of him. "Hey get off! Patamon?!" Takeru gasped when he brought that
*living thing* to his normal eye-view.
"TAKERU-KUN!" Patamon gasped.
"Hey
buddy!" Takeru stroke his digimon pal's head. "What are you doing down here."
"The same reason you're here. Wish told me." Patamon giggled.
"Oh." Takeru heard a strange sound. "What the hell is that?"
"Uh oh." Patamon whimpered.
A huge dark figure came trodding towards them. It had huge horns. It had a face of a bull and a human's body.
"Patamon quick, DIGVOLVE!" Takeru turned to Patamon.
Patamon digivolve to…ANGEMON!
Angemon digivolve to…MAGNA ANGEMON!
Magna Angemon stood in front of the monster, ready to protect Takeru.
The monster charged and Magna Angemon strike back.
But the monster was too powerful, and Magna Angemon fell.
"Oh no, MAGNA ANGEMON!" Takeru screamed.
"Takeru…" Magna Angemon was thrown farther away by the monster.
"STOP IT!" Takeru screamed, a golden aura surrounded Takeru and Magna Angemon started to glow. A golden energy ball started to form in Takeru's hand.
"Take this you bakemono!" Takeru threw the ball at the monster. Magna Angemon turned back into Patamon. The monster howled in pain as he vanished.
"Way to go Takeru-kun!" Patamon flew to him.
"Wow! Unbelievable!"Takeru looked half-shocked, half-pleased at his own power. "This must be the power Wish was talking about. If I can strengthen it to the most powerful one, Trust, I'll be able to defeat Kageru!"
Meanwhile a long-haired blonde stood atop Takeru's apartment building and grinned. "I'll kill you soon Takeru. Very soon. And Hikari will be mine forever!" Behind him stood three spirits in red, grey and brown and their golden eyes glinted meanly along with the young man's laughter.
I was born to protect you
I was born to love you, take care and save you
From the evil side, at least I would try
To eradicate
the evil shadows!
Not a single finger of darkness shall touch you,
I swear this, and I'll never let you go
By you soft tender lips and your passionate kisses
I am sure that I'm strongest of all!
A/N: *Whew* well that's done. Chapter Three is really hard you know. Prepare to see Lust's mean *lust* for women and Glutton's *in his point of view of* food. The songs and poems here are all by me. Thanks again. Please R&R.
