Soul Bonds
Chapter 02
Davis Motomiya
Two boys at the age of twelve and a small girl of eight were walking calmly in the familiar forest of the Digital World. Their steps were quiet, much quieter than what humans normally walk with at least. For many and even to most Digimon, they would seem unguarded but it was far from that. The boys were tense and guarded with their senses alert and open, and the girl with them was tense from the muscles of her strong legs to get ready for anything to dodge from an attack.
"Do you get the feeling that we're being left along too…suspicious?" The navy blue haired boy commented. His jaw was tense and his eyes narrowed with suspicion.
"Yer right. It's been t' quiet," His ruby-eyed friend agreed.
"Do you think they stopped looking for us?" The young girl between them asked, hopeful.
"No," The ruby-eyed boy shook his head. "Y' know tha' they're not th' types t' give up tha' easily,"
"I agree," The navy blue haired boy nodded in agreement, much to the girl's chagrin. "Especially since they are so bent on taking you,"
The girl scowled cutely with a pout as she immediately grabbed a hold onto the ruby-eyed boy's hand. She held onto his hand tightly as if they were there and ready to take him away from her and the navy blue haired boy. The ruby-eyed boy smiled softly at the young girl with warm affection.
"I wish they stop going after you," The young girl grumbled with her pout still held in place.
The ruby-eyed boy laughed softly and grinned warmly down at the pouting girl. "Don' worry s' much. Everythin' will turn out fine," He said.
His best friend looked at him with an exasperating expression then slapped him at the back his head.
"Hey!" The ruby-eyed boy shouted with a frown, as he quickly made sure his cap that he always wore did not fall off. Although, he did not miss both of his companions' disappointed expression, or the girl's mutter, "So close." This made him roll his ruby eyes at them then glared fully at his "so called" best friend. "Why'd y' do tha' f'r?"
"Other than the obvious, I did it because of your stupidity," The navy blue haired boy rolled his eyes with a sigh.
"Wha'—! Wha' d'ya mean by tha'?" The ruby-eyed boy growled.
"I think he means that the number of times you say that, it ends up jinxing us," The girl answered easily, and hugged the boy to help calm him down.
"Like what?" The ruby-eyed boy inquired after calming down.
Just as soon as those words slipped out of his mouth, an awful angry screeching squawk of some bird pierced through the air as well as an angry roar.
"Static Destroyer!"
"Fist of the Shadow Beast!"
Instincts that enhanced over the years kicked in. The ruby-eyed boy quickly picked the girl in his arms and dodged the two combined attacks with his best friend dodging along with him. The trio looked ahead where the attacks were from. They gulped upon the sight of one powerful Champion Digimon and the other was from an Ultimate Digimon.
"Like that!" The navy blue haired boy shouted.
Before the ruby-eyed could retort, the Champion Digimon suddenly appeared between the boys.
'He's fast!' Both boys thought with widened eyes.
"Sonic Destroyer!"
The bird Ultimate Digimon, who had taken the advantage of the boys' shock, struck its electric attack toward the navy blue haired boy.
"Look out!" The girl with the boys shouted, but it was too late…
BOOOM!
"Enny!" The other boy shouted as he and the girl covered themselves from the dust of the explosion. The ruby-eyed boy winced upon feeling some of the attack from protecting the girl.
"Aniki!"
The warning was again too late as the boy was punch painfully on his right cheek by the Champion's thick fist. This made him release the eight-year-old girl out of his arms. Just as the Digimon was about to give another powerful punch, the ruby-eyed boy immediately caught its fist. He then quickly jumped and quickly delivered a hard kick down at the Champion Digimon's head. Unfortunately, even with the Champion Digimon temporarily out of the way, there was still the Ultimate Digimon, who was right behind him.
"Thunder-Bird Claw!"
Fortunately, the boy was preparing for another attack. He quickly dodged the attack, but then screamed in pain when he felt his leg gashed painfully by the Digimon's electric claw. The electricity singed the rip of his pants and scourged painfully in the nerves of his left leg, which began to numb alarmingly. He could feel his blood drip down his tanned skin as his new scar throbbed.
'Great,' He thought sarcastically. 'How many more scars can I get?'
The boy landed clumsily to his feet, much to his chagrin, and then landed on his bottom. With a wince, he took out his trusted weapon out. With a sudden flash of flames, he brought out a thick black gun that was about seven inches with orange and red flame designs. He circled his gun, which drew a flamed circle, then moved it to draw a five-pointed star inside the circle. Once drawn, the ruby-eyed boy took a deep breath and aimed his gun at the very middle.
"Shōshū Suru Fiamma: Wāmumon!" He shouted. "Now Enny!"
Much to the Ultimate's shock, the navy blue haired boy, whom he had thought he finished him off, suddenly popped out of nowhere and caught a light green worm-like Digimon. Although, the navy blue haired boy was injure from the Ultimate's earlier attack. There were burns from his right arm, left cheek, and his upper thigh from his left leg.
Just as the boy and his Digimon partner were about to attack, the scream from their youngest companion froze both boys and the Rookie Digimon. They turned around in time to see the Champion Digimon kicked the girl's stomach, which send her flying toward the thick hard tree bark.
Not wasting any time, the ruby-eyed boy quickly caught the girl while ignoring the shocking pain from his injured, scarred leg. His best friend and his Digimon, meanwhile, directed their attack toward the Champion, much to its annoyance.
"Fist of the Shadow Beast!" The Champion roared out its attack.
Both the boy and his Digimon friend quickly dodged the attack, despite the boy's heavy burns and the large amount of blood loss. The boy cursed under his breath and gotten ready to attack again with his faithful Digimon partner, who stood beside him with a determined expression.
"Sonic Destroyer!"
The ruby-eyed boy dodged the powerful attack again with the girl safely in his arms.
"Listen t' me closely, Kiki," The ruby-eyed boy muttered silently toward the girl as he continued to dodge the Ultimate's fierce attacks. "I need y' t' stay close t' Enny, while I distract th's bird brain away fr'm y' two,"
"What?" The girl hissed, looking at him in disbelief as if he was insane. "We're not leaving you!"
The ruby-eyed boy smiled sadly at the girl. "I hav' t'. Y' and Enny c'n stand a chance with a Champion level Digimon, but with th' Ultimate Digimon 'n th' way…all three 'f us will be 'n trouble. Y' do know who send these Digimon," He explained, and winced upon feeling a bit of the Ultimate's attack pierce his right shoulder.
"But—!"
"No! Listen t' me," The ruby-eyed boy ordered with hard determined eyes, yet gentle and warm. "Y' do as I say. I 'm the' only one who c'n out run an' possibly defeat some Ultimate level Digimon. Y' an' I both know tha' 's true,"
The girl reluctantly nodded, but not happy with it at all.
Quickly dodging another Sonic Destroyer, the boy gently dropped the girl near the surprised navy blue haired boy and his Rookie Digimon. Without a word, the boy turned around and ran off while drawing out his black, red and orange flamed gun, and quickly began to chant in another, yet familiar, language.
"Oh Antichi grande del Mondo Digitale, ascolta la mia voce e rispondere alla mia richiesta," He began as energy began to surround itself around his weapon. "Capo dei Dieci Antichi, ecco la mia chiamata e dammi il tuo Raggia forza e colpire il mio nemico con il tuo Fiamme Caotici e Fedele!"
The ruby-eyed boy jumped into the air and aimed his energized gun toward the Ultimate.
'I only have one shot,' The boy gritted his teeth, and then shouted, "Fiamma degli Antichi!"
A pure red flame winged warrior-like shape fired toward the frightened Ultimate Digimon.
BOOOM!
Not wasting a second to see if the Digimon was destroyed or not, the ruby-eyed boy ran off to the opposite direction where his best friend and the young girl, "Kiki", were battling against the powerful Champion. The Bird Digimon screeched in anger as its blue eyes looked at the human in rage. For its wing was completely deleted as blood soaked on its feathers and spilled disgustedly down below. Its left eye held a scarred burn.
Unfortunately, the ruby-eyed boy knew it would not be long until they begin to help the Ultimate. Sure enough, a shadow aura surrounded the Digimon's wound and began to heal. The boy could practically hear the Ultimate's wing regenerating itself just like every other Digimon he came across. For only Digimon could destroy them.
With an angry screech, the Ultimate Digimon soared toward the running and limping boy. It's talons were at ready as the Digimon gained closer toward the ruby-eyed boy.
"Dai, look out!" The worried navy blue haired boy shouted.
'Perfect. It's goin' accordin' t' plan,' The ruby-eyed boy thought, and then shouted over his shoulder," Don' worry! Just take care 'f Kiki fer me!"
"What? What are you planning now?" His best friend shouted.
'Please be careful,' The young girl pleaded as she watched, while dodging the Champion Digimon's sword, as the Ultimate dug painfully in both of the ruby-eyed boy's shoulders with its sharp talons.
"Dai!" The navy blue haired boy cried out, only to quickly block the Champion's punch as his Digimon partner stopped the Champion Digimon to strike him with his sword.
"Don' worry abou' me! Jus' look out fer Kiki fer me!" The ruby-eyed boy shouted.
"Gck…! DAISUKE!"
Taichi 'Tai' Kamiya
After quickly dropping Gatomon and Patamon near one of the gateways to meet up with Izzy and Kari, Taichi and Greymon quickly ran off to help the boy. He could hear the loud explosions from Parrotmon's electric attacks.
"We better hurry Greymon. He's already slowing down the last time we saw him," Taichi said.
"Got it Tai! We're almost there!" Greymon said as they got near the area.
"Sonic Destroyer! Static Destroyer!"
This made Taichi worried for the boy. Parrotmon's attacks were becoming more stronger with frustration and anger. He was curios why Parrotmon was so determined to kill the boy.
"You will not escape my wrath!" Parrotmon, for the first time, screeched with angered with blue eyes.
Taichi was surprised and shocked by this. He had never heard Parrotmon talk since the Vaccine Ultimate was more concentrated on attacking Greymon many years ago.
"A wrath tha' I…ugh! I neve' deserve!" Taichi heard the boy shouted back with an exhausted and pained voice in a sort of slang accent.
"Of course you do! The fact that you are the son of the Warrior of Flame is enough for me to seek your death to destroy that boy's Spirit!" Parrotmon shouted, and then launched another attack. "Thunder-Bird Claw!"
The slashes of Parrotmon's claw made the boy painfully fall to the ground because of his slow, exhausted reflexes.
"No! Greymon, hurry!" Taichi urged his Digimon partner with a slight panic.
Greymon's eyes narrowed and quickly sped up.
"This is the end of you, Son of Flame!" Parrotmon shouted as, much to Taichi's horror, he began to gather a much larger and powerful electric energy from the Digimon's two red feathers on his head.
"Wha' about y' Master's orders?" The boy asked, and Taichi quickly noted the curiosity in the boy's voice instead of fear.
"Why isn't he sounding scared?" Taichi growled in anger and worry. He had the right to be worried since he could see the boy was still not moving from exhaustion and in pain from the heavy injuries he just noticed from the boy's leg, along with the boy's bruises and cuts.
Parrotmon seemed a bit hesitant when the boy mentioned this. It did not last long though. His eyes narrowed as it readied his powerful attack.
"The Master's orders mean nothing to me if it leads to Flame's despair!" Parrotmon said.
"An' I kept tellin' y'! I have no connections with th's Flame guy!" The boy shouted back at the Ultimate.
"You have a strong connection to the Warrior of Flame than you'll ever know!" Parrotmon said. "SONIC DESTROYER!"
"NOVA BLAST!" Greymon shouted as he fires a giant ball of fire from his mouth toward Parrotmon's electric attack.
Before Greymon even attacked Parrotmon's attack, Taichi carefully slid off Greymon and ran toward the injured boy. He immediately covered the boy before the two powerful attacks collided and shielded the boy with his body from the powerful explosion that would surely come.
BOOOOM!
Taichi winced as he covered the boy protectively. He could feel the slight burn from the explosion behind him. Gritting his teeth to withstand the burning pain and slowly looked back to see Greymon hit the Bird Ultimate with his large tail. With a crash, Parrotmon hit painfully down the dirt floor some feet away from Taichi and the boy.
"Urgh! YOU!" He heard Parrotmon screech out angrily.
Looks like he has not forgotten Greymon like we have not forgotten him that night.
Taichi brought himself up and checked the boy from under him.
"Hey, you didn't get hurt from that explosion did you?" Taichi asked, looking down at the boy worriedly.
"No, I'm good," The boy grunted out, while pressing down his wounded leg to stop the bleeding.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Taichi asked with concern. He noticed the sudden sway the boy was moving as he slowly stood.
"I'm f—," Before the boy could finish reassuring him, they both heard Greymon's roar out in pain.
Taichi and the boy looked back to see Parrotmon's attack hit painfully at Greymon, which send him flying through the trees.
"Greymon!" Taichi cried out worriedly.
"Oi! Leave 'em outta th's!" He heard the boy shouting at Parrotmon.
"They were already involved before he had sent you to this world!" Parrotmon said.
The boy flinched for reasons Taichi did not know, but glared coldly at the Ultimate Digimon with his unusual eyes darkened in anger.
"Now it is your turn alongside with the leader of the DigiDestines—the DigiDestine of Courage. A fitting end to end your lives together," Parrotmon shouted as he gotten ready to send another attack at them.
What does he mean by that?
Taichi did not get a chance to think further, when he heard Parrotmon crying out his attack.
"Static Destroyer!"
"TAI!"
"Nova Blast!"
"Electro Shocker!"
"Hand of Fate!"
Taichi felt himself get lifted up from the ground and into the air by his sister's Digimon partner, Angewomon. He looked over a bit to see the injured boy was carrying along with him, who had his eyes widened in astonishment.
He turned ahead to see Greymon's, Kabuterimon's, and Angemon's attacks hit straight toward Parrotmon. The Digimon screeched a cry in pain as it fell straight toward the floor and landed with a small explosion.
"Tai-niisan!"
Taichi looked down to see his younger sister, Kari, on the ground with Izzy and, surprisingly, TK. Angewomon gracefully landed on the floor. Taichi, while bringing the injured boy on his back much to the boy's protest, jumped down on the floor with a grin.
"Kari! Izzy! TK! You made it just in time," Taichi said.
"Y' got tha' right," The boy on his back grunted.
Kari looked over his shoulder and looked curiously (and was that longing?) at the boy. Taichi looked over to see the boy looking down with his cap and bangs shadowing his face.
"That's right. I didn't get to tell you my name. The name's Taichi, but you can call me Tai," He introduced himself. "What's yours?"
Just as the boy was about to say his name, who had a thoughtful expression for a while, Parrotmon's angered screech was soon heard.
"You DigiDestines will not stop my revenge!" Parrotmon shouted, who flew above them. Taichi noticed his battered state and his angry blue eyes blazing icily at them.
"Revenge? 'S tha' why yer not listenin' t' yer Master's orders? I haven' done anythin' t' ya," The boy growled that sounded eerily like that of a dragon's.
"Master?" Izzy muttered. He looked at Taichi with a raised eyebrow. Taichi shook his head. He, too, didn't know what the boy was talking about, especially this "Master".
"That's right, child. With you out of the way not only diminishes the light of this world, but also break the Warrior of Flame's spirit and brings a strong an opportunity for the Darkness to take control over the Digital World," Parrotmon said.
"What?" Taichi, Kari, Izzy, and TK shouted in alarm.
"That's not all…is it?" The boy inquired with narrowed eyes.
"Of course not! With the Warriors weakened without their leader to strengthen them, the Darkness of my Master can quickly overpower the DigiDestines, especially with the Crests not in their possession. My Master will immediately go after that sister of yours and the rest of your friends to be eliminated or controlled by my Master!" Parrotmon answered coldly, yet amused.
The boy growled and, before Taichi could stop him, gotten off Taichi's back and ran toward the Ultimate Digimon as if the gash of his leg wasn't even bothering him.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Taichi shouted in worry.
"You're going to get yourself killed!" TK shouted after the boy.
The boy ignored them and merely brought out a black, red and orange-flamed gun.
"Yer not goin' anywhere near 'em!" He shouted and pointed at the gun at Parrotmon. Taichi's eyes widened even further, when he heard the boy chant in a whole other language. "Warrior oh di Fiamma e del Vento, vieni in mio aiuto e contribuire a distruggere questo Ombra. Purificare con il tuo Amore e della vostra Amicizia della Luce e dell'Oscurità!"
"Oh no you don't! Not this time!" Parrotmon said as its beak widened and glowed for another attack.
"No! Look out!" Kari shouted to warn the boy.
"Kabuterimon, help distract Parrotmon!" Izzy said hurriedly.
"You too Greymon!" Taichi shouted.
"Right!" Greymon and Kabuterimon nodded.
"Nova Blast!"
"Electro Shocker!"
Parrotmon immediately dodged the attacks, but it was enough to give the boy the opportunity to attack.
"Tempesta di Fenice!" The boy shouted his attack just as he fired his gun at Parrotmon.
BOOM!
"Now, use Angemon and Angewomon t' attack Parrotmon!" The boy shouted at Kari and TK.
"Shouldn't that have destroyed Parrotmon?" TK asked, confused.
"No it wouldn'! 'F it were a Digimon attack it would, but Parrotmon 's not like th' normal Digimon y' met before. Only regular Digimon c'n destroy 'im! Now hurry!" The boy urged.
"Static Destroyer!"
Taichi could only watch in horror when the attack hit straight at the boy.
"NO!" Kari shouted in sudden anguish and fear. "Angewomon, go help him!"
"Angemon, help finish Parrotmon off!" TK shouted.
"Hand of Fate!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
With that, the two angels Digimon destroyed the heavily wounded and burned Digimon.
Kari was already running toward the injured boy before Taichi could. He noticed the worry and concern written upon his younger sister's sapphire eyes. He kneeled down next to his younger sister and gently rested a comforting hand on her shoulder. Taichi looked down and noticed with alarm upon the heavy burn on the boy's left arm and hand. Then there was the large wound on the right side of his stomach and back. It didn't end there, unfortunately. The boy's right cheek was bruised and the gash on his left leg deepened. Next was the old burned wound on his left shoulder darkened a bit more and held another small burn on his right arm. He held a few more bruises and scratches.
Taichi winced upon the terrible state the boy was in.
"We better send him to the hospital," Taichi heard himself saying.
"D-don'…"
To Taichi's amazement, he saw the boy slowly opening his eyes despite the blood dripping down his face.
"D-don'…s-sen' m-me t' th'…h-hosp'tal," The boy managed to say between painful gasps.
"Why not? You're hurt!" Kari said, looking down the boy with big worried eyes.
"I-I'll be f-fine," The boy said. "J-Jus' d-don' take m-m-me t' th' hosp'tal,"
"You're losing too much, don't talk," Taichi ordered gently.
"D-Davis…"
"What?" Taichi blinked and looked at the boy questionably.
"M-my name," The boy said. "I-It's Motomiya Davis,"
Then the ruby-eyed boy, Davis, finally passed out.
Finally done~! Yay! This was a bit difficult to finish than I thought. Hmm, oh well. At least I've gotten this done and out of the way. Hope you all enjoyed the new chapter of Soul Bonds.
