Child of the Stars

Chapter 3: When you wish upon a star…

Koji's POV

After I explained what happened at the station, I saw Kouichi's eyes widen. Ophanimon looked grave. Then she spoke.

"The girl must be in the Digital World now. But I'm afraid that we may be too late." All of a sudden we heard a blast from far away. We all looked at each other.

"Lowemon, Kazemon, Agunimon, take your partner, split up, and check out the explosion! Lobomon, take Koji and find the child while the rest of us will scan the area for anything suspicious. Now go!" Ophanimon commanded. We all went off. Lobomon digivolved into KendoGarurumon and I rode on his back. We went into the forest where I first found Lobomon.

Rabbitumon's POV (Bunnyumon)

I ran like the wind with my mistress on my back. I had to keep her safe. I made a vow to Master Ryuu and myself to protect her. I could feel her hands clutching to my fur, quaking with fear. I found an opened tree and hid in there. We waited. I heard Crusadermon's voice.

"They got away! This is not good!" she said, frantically.

"The master will be very angry with us," muttered Dynasmon. I wondered who their master was and why did he want my Mistress. My thoughts were interrupted as I heard another voice.

"The master has called for you two." It was high, squeaky voice which sounded like a rookie Digimon. "He says to pause the mission and come."

"Are we in trouble, BlackAgumon?" Crusadermon asked.

"No, in fact he is pleased. Now come."

"Let's go, Crusadermon", Dynasmon said. "Alright." They disappeared and I could no longer feel their presence. "Mistress, it is safe now." I turned around to see the mistress staring at me.

"Bunnyumon, you changed," she whispered in astonishment.

"I digivolved into Rabbitumon, my champion form", I replied simply. But as soon as I said that I felt my body shrinking and I turned to my rookie form. I felt exhaustion overpowering me and I fell to the ground. As darkness enshrouded me, all I heard was my mistress's cry.

"Bunnyumon!"

End of POV

Koji's POV

Outside the cave, we were surprised to see footprints. There was one set of paw prints and the other set looked like they were from a kid. Lobomon examined it. Then we went into the cave. We wandered around until we got to an area newly destroyed. Lobomon decided to examine the place while I look around for the girl. I was surprised when I found an object buried in the hay. It was a purple and green D-tector. I called Lobomon over to examine it. He sniffed it.

"It's been recently used," he said gravely, "But I don't smell Princess Jirachimon's scent."

"If that girl didn't find the spirit, then how was she able to use the D-tector?" I asked, wondering. The D-tector is used only for spirit evolution in the past. Nowadays, Ophanimon changed it to help the warriors digivolve.

"More importantly, why are Crusadermon and Dynasmon back?" Lobomon muttered under his breath.

"Huh?!" I stared at him in disbelief, "Those two are back? Didn't they get digitized by Lucemon?"

"Apparently, someone has revived them and they are under his control."

"But why? And who?" I asked.

"I don't know but it seems that the girl has escaped them somehow, using the D-tector. Hmm... Well, anyways, let's go follow the footprints and find her."

"Right." I pocketed the D-tector and we set off.

Kasumi's POV

I was stunned. Bunnyumon changed. She was way bigger and sleek. My cute bunny was now a fierce and fast rabbit.

"Bunnyumon, you changed…" I whispered, astonished.

"I digivolved into Rabbitumon, my champion form," she replied simply. Then all of a sudden she changed back to her normal form and collapsed.

"Bunnyumon!" I cried. I picked her up and felt her pulse. She was just exhausted. I laid her down on my lap with tears streaming down my face. By then I noticed that time has passed and the sun was setting. I watched the moon rise slowly and Bunnyumon still had not woken up. I was felt exhausted but I was determined to stay up and take care of Bunnyumon. She protected me and I will do the same. I feel so pathetic. All my life, I've been shielded and so protected from the world until my parents died in that accident. But even after that, Ryuu protected me and now Bunnyumon protected and got hurt. I feel so… weak. I saw a star lit up in the night sky and I decided to make a wish. I wish I was strong so I can protect myself and the people I care for. I felt tired and hungry and couldn't help closing my eyes. But sleep had overcome me.

End of POV

Bunnyumon's POV

When I woke up, I saw my mistress holding me close. She must have tried to protect me. Poor mistress. Why does she have to protect me? I'm supposed to protect her. I promised Master Ryuu and myself. But more importantly, why are we here in the Digital World? I've been here in my dreams but how did we get here? Why do I feel I've been here before? As I was thinking hard, I heard a yawn. My mistress has woken up. She was rubbing her eyes and smiled at me.

"Bunnyumon! You woke up! Are you alright?" she asked.

"I'm fine, mistress" I replied. My stomach growled. I was starving. Then I remembered something. Mistress Kasumi didn't eat anything yesterday!

"Mistress! You didn't eat anything yesterday!" I yelped frantically.

"It's alright… I'm not hungry. You should eat" she said as she took out some carrots from her bag. But as she said that her stomach growled. Her face turned red. I quickly ate some of the carrots and said to her:

"Mistress, eat that while I search for food." I gave her the rest before she said anything and rushed out to find her food. I did not stray too far though so she won't be in any danger. As I gathered food, I heard a rustle. I turned around quickly and stared into the eyes of someone familiar. It was the same bandana boy I saw at the station. The Kouichi look-alike.
