"Guardian Angel"
Don't get mad or complain about the changes I made. Please enjoy and review!
Nefertimon, Pegasusmon and Halsemon were in the air while Flamedramon and Digmon were on the ground, all five digimon firing off their attacks at the control spire.
"Yeah!" we all cheered as it crumbled.
Today everyone was helping out in destroying the control spires in various areas and when I say everybody, I mean Tai and Greymon, Matt and Garurumon, Sora and Birdramon, and our new team while Izzy monitored us from the computer room.
Strange enough, earlier today when I woke up I had a vision of a rocket being fired at Kari and Gatomon as our group was running and they were at the back.
I'm not sure what that means, but I know it'll happen soon enough and I'll just have to change it to make sure my sister and her partner didn't get hurt.
After we finished taking down 13 control spires, we all went back to the computer lab with Izzy to check out our work and saw all the white spots on the map.
"There's still one more control spire to destroy today." Izzy informed sitting at the computer.
"Maybe Greymon can get that one too." Matt suggested.
"I don't think he can. It looks like he's too far from that area." Tai said.
"Tai's right." Izzy agreed.
"In that case, we'll do it ourselves." I smiled.
TK, Yolei, Cody, Kari and I all went back to the Digital World with our digimon and we appeared in what appeared to be a city made out of steel.
Above us was a glass dome that the city was hidden inside of.
As soon as we arrived, a horde of Gardromon showed up and started blasting their rockets at us.
Digmon used his Gold Rush on the robots, but it had zero effect on them.
Pegasusmon then flew in from the sky and flapped his wings, sending out his Star Shower and managed to get off the dark rings on four of them.
Flamedramon used his Fire Rocket and freed two more of the Gardromon, but more of the robots were charging in at us.
"There must a hundred of them." I said.
"I think now would be a good time to go back to our world so we can come up with a new plan." TK said nervously.
"TK's right. We can talk to Izzy." Yolei suggested.
"We have to hurry." Kari called.
"Head for the gate!" I yelled.
Our digimon returned to their Rookie forms as we started running, the Gardromon following as they chanted 'Intruder!' over and over again.
This is how I realized what my vision meant, so I made sure that Kari was far ahead along with Gatomon while TK and V-Mon were running in front of me and Patamon was panting as he flew behind them.
Turning the corner of a building, we ran off to the TV sitting there, Yolei being at the head of the group and she pulled out her digivice.
"Digi port; open!" she yelled.
The TV glowed as Yolei and Hawkmon were sucked inside, then it was Cody and Armadillomon, then Kari and Gatomon went inside first.
A Gardromon then appeared from on top of a building just as TK and V-Mon jumped into the TV as I pulled out my digivice.
"Wait for us!" Patamon called.
Before we reached the gate, a rocket was launched at it by the Gardromon and it was blown up making us yelp from the debris and smoke.
"Oh, that's not good." I groaned.
Patamon whined as he flapped by my head as we stared at the gate in worry, and then turned to the Gardromon as he then launched another rocket at us, but we quickly ran off from the attack.
"We have to hide!" Patamon gasped as he beat his wings as fast as he could.
Reached up, I grabbed him and set him on my head and he clung to the goggles I wore as I ran off from the Gardromon.
They were about teen feet behind us when I turned a corner and found there was an alley behind a large metal container, so I quickly climbed over it and ducked down.
Patamon flapped down off my head and sat on my knees as I held my breath, trying to stay as silent as possible when the sound of the Gardromon's footsteps came clunking down on the steel street.
After about five minutes, the footsteps began to fade away, but we stayed hidden and didn't make a sound until we were sure it was safe.
Flapping over high enough to poke his head up over the container, Patamon sighed in relief as he flew back down to me and stood on the ground beside me.
"The coast is clear now." He said.
"Man, I can't believe I got separated from the group again. How does this keep happening to me?" I grumbled.
"Yeah, you always got separated from the group before when you were a kid. But it's worse now because you don't have V-Mon to protect you." Patamon's wings/ears drooped sadly.
I smiled down at him softly and pet his head making him look up at me.
"Don't worry. If anyone can protect me when V isn't here, it's you, Patamon." I assured.
Other than Kaitoumon of course, but he isn't here right now sadly.
He smiled and nodded his hand as his paws closed into fists, determination shining in his sky blue eyes.
"Right. I'll do my best to protect you. V-Mon would do the same for TK, too." The little orange digimon said.
"Right. Anyway, I better send a message to the others and let them know we're okay. Knowing Kari and V-Mon, they might be freaking out." I said as I pulled my D-Terminal out.
Flipping the screen open, I started typing the message to my sister while Patamon flew up onto my head and sat there so he could get a better view of the screen.
"Hey guys, Patamon and I are fine, so don't freak out.-Dai."
After I sent the message, heavy footsteps were heard making Patamon and I tense up and I quickly went down onto the ground, peering out through the crack between the alley wall and the container.
It was a Gardromon and he was looking around curiously, searching for us I guess and we both remained silent as we watched him, sweat trickling down my face.
Once deeming the area empty, the Gardromon began walking away which made Patamon and I sigh quietly in relief as a message came back from the others.
"Dai, TK and I are coming to get you. Stay hidden for as long as you can and we'll be there as soon as possible.-Kari." I read.
"But how can they come get us if the gate was destroyed?" Patamon asked.
"I'm not sure." I shrugged as I typed in his question to my sister.
"TK came up with the idea of going into the Digital World in a gate near you guys.-Kari." I read.
"Good luck with that." I said and typed it in before I closed my D-Terminal and put it back into my pocket.
Standing up, I looked over the container and saw that it was clear now, but more Gardromon would arrive soon enough and we'd be attack again.
"So, what do we do now, Dai?" Patamon asked.
"We need to find a better hiding place." I said and climbed over the container and jumped down onto the ground.
Nodding, he started flying at my side as I started running down the street, searching for a building that could be used to hide in and also for any of the Gardromon.
As we ran, one of the Gardromon came out from around the corner making Patamon and I gasp as the robot said 'Intruder!' and fired a rocket at us.
Patamon then used his Boom Bubble making the rocket tilt to the side and it hit the wall of a building, the smoke giving us cover to escape.
"Great job, buddy!" I smiled and he giggled as we started running again.
Running down the street, we found ourselves getting ambushed by five Gardromon who then shot out their rockets at the two of us, the rockets hitting the ground and creating an explosion that blasted Patamon and I back.
Groaning as I rolled off of my back and onto my side, I saw Patamon was struggling to get up and forced myself up onto my feet and ran over to him.
I managed to grab Patamon just as another rocket was fired and I dived to the side, rolling out of the way of the blast and started running down the street, taking the back allies of the city.
"Where can we hide? There are Gardromon all over the place." Patamon whined.
My hands glowed gold as I started healing him while I looked around desperately for someplace to hide and found a door on the back of a building.
Seeing no other choice since the horde was getting closer and would eventually find us, I ran over to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked.
"Now what?" Patamon asked.
"Give me a minute." I said pulling a paperclip out of my pocket.
Bending it into a straight pin, I pushed the paperclip into the locket and started jiggling it around.
"Better be a fast minute." Patamon quipped as he hovered around me.
I frowned as the pounding footsteps of the robots got closer and I swear this felt familiar.
Being stuck in a city where they are robot digimon lurking around looking for the Digidestindeds to take out and bring to the bad guy.
Oh yeah, this did happen before, only Kari and I aren't sick in bed this time.
Hearing the click of the lock coming undone, I exclaimed in happiness as I pushed the door open, and then ran inside, Patamon following me.
Pushing the door closed, I leaned against it in relief as I let myself relax from all the running I had done while Patamon let out a long breath and whine of relief as he floated down to the floor.
"I hope TK and the others hurry." He said.
"You and me both. Now, what is this place?" I asked.
Looking up, we both gasped at what was inside.
There were power tools and spare robot parts littering the room, wires hanging from the ceiling and all over the floor.
Getting up, we walked around and checked the machines that had a mechanic arm that drills in screws and there was even one that had a crane to pick things up.
"I wonder what this stuff is for." Patamon mused as he picked up a screwdriver.
"It must be the stuff the Gardromon keep in case they get broken." I said.
My digivice started to beep and I pulled it out to see a green dot and a pink dot both flashing on my device far away from the blue dot, which had to be me.
"The others are here, but they're far away. I'm not sure how long it'll take for them to get here." I sighed.
"I guess we just sit and wait for now." Patamon said as he sat on the ground.
Sighing, I slid to the floor and pulled out my D-Terminal, typing in a message to my sister to let her know Patamon and I were hiding in a building and we weren't hurt.
Though I'm pretty sure I'll have a few bruises by tomorrow, but I left that part out.
Kari sent a message back saying that they were an hour's walk away from where we were, but they'd try to get here as soon as possible.
Also, Tai had been called by Cody and he would be coming back with Cody and Yolei to get me as soon as he got to the school.
(An hour later…)
Patamon had fallen asleep in my arms and was snoring softly as I pet his wings/ears gently and waited for the others to get here.
I could feel TK and Kari were close, right outside of the dome by now.
Closing my eyes, I saw them clearly along with V-Mon and Gatomon.
There was a single Gardromon guarding the entrance, so Gatomon armour digivolved to Nefertimon and used her Queen's Paw to destroy the dark ring, then broke the doors open.
Tai, Agumon, Yolei, Halsemon, Cody and Digmon were on their way in our direction now as well.
Just then, there was a strange sound outside and the door was blasted open making Patamon squeak as he woke up.
Standing up, I saw that there was a familiar android digimon that was standing at the destroyed entrance with glowing red eyes and a dark ring around his neck.
"Look, its Andromon." Patamon gasped.
"Oh, man. This is not good." I bit my bottom lip.
Lifting his hand up, Andromon's hand turned into a drill and he then threw his Lightening Blade at us making Patamon and I yell as we ducked to the ground.
The blast hit the wall behind us and left a large hole which allowed Patamon and I to run through it, getting away from Andromon.
"This is getting insane!" I yelled.
"If only I could digivolve. I'd take out that tower and free Andromon and all the Gardromon." Patamon huffed.
Andromon's chest opened up and his missiles were shot at us and fired the bullets at us, hitting Patamon and he cried out in pain.
"Patamon!" I yelled in worry and stopped running.
"I must annihilate the enemy." Andromon said in a monotone as he stalked over.
"Andromon, stop! It's me, Daisuke!" I yelled running in front of Patamon, my arms out to protect him.
The android stopped walking when he was only a few feet in front of me and stared at my face as I felt tears spring to my eyes.
His red optics roved over my face and then the goggles I wore on my head.
"Daisuke…goggles…" he spoke in a trance.
Patamon grunted as he stood up and walked up to my side, clinging to my leg.
"We're friends. We all took a picture together, don't you remember?" I asked.
"A picture?" he asked in a daze.
"Dai!" V-Mon's voice rang through the area.
Turning, I saw that Nefertimon was soaring through the air with Kari, TK and V-Mon on the winged cat's back.
"TK!" Patamon called happily.
Nefertimon landed beside us and the trio jumped off, V-Mon quickly rushing over to me and threw himself into my arms while Patamon was picked up by TK.
"Andromon, is that really you?" Kari asked as he walked up to him.
"Be careful, Kari." Nefertimon warned.
My sister had a determined look in her cherry eyes as she stood in between me and Andromon, as if she was shielding me from him.
"Andromon, do you remember us? We met a long time ago. Do you remember the picture at all?" she asked.
"Picture? What is this picture?" Andromon asked.
"Remember us, Andromon. Please, fight the Emperor's control." Kari told him.
Blinking his eyes and shaking his head, Andromon looked over my sister and I as recognition filled his eyes.
"Queen Hikari and Princess Daisuke." Andromon said.
This made my sister and I smile as Kari walked up to the android and reached her hand out to him, a pink light shining from her hand.
"Be healed of the darkness, Andromon, so you can be with your friends again." She said.
"Picture. Yes, faces from my past. The Digidestiends." Andromon mumbled as a smile appeared on his face.
Lifting his hands up to his neck, he grabbed at the dark ring and it crushed it under his hands, making the red glow in his eyes fade away.
"Andromon, you're back." Kari smiled.
"Kari, Dai, am I so sorry for what I've done." He apologized.
"It wasn't your fault. It was the control spire and dark ring that made you do it." TK said as he stepped up beside me.
"You're right, TK. That control spire is the cause of all this. I'll destroy it." Andromon said.
He then blasted his missiles at the spire just as Yolei, Tai, Cody, Agumon, Halsemon and Digmon arrived on the scene.
"Whoa, Andromon." Agumon gasped.
"Who is that digimon?" Yolei asked as she jumped off of Halsemon's back.
"That's Andromon. He's an old friend of ours." V-Mon told her.
"Andromon, will the Gadromon be okay?" Kari asked.
"I will stay here and repair them. Don't worry. I promise to protect this area from the Emperor. He won't claim it again." Andromon vowed.
"That's good to know." Cody smiled.
"Aw, but that means we got all dressed up for nothing." Digmon groaned.
Looking over to Patamon and TK, I smiled at them.
"You okay though, Dai? You have been here for a while." TK said in worry.
"I'm fine. Patamon took care of me." I said.
"Well, you took care of me too. That's what friends do." The orange creature smiled.
Leaning down, I placed a kiss to his forehead making him blush and giggle while everyone else all laughed in good nature.
Tai and Kari both came over and hugged me, happy that I was safe.
(In the computer lab…)
We all cried out as we were thrown out of the Digital World and landed in a pile on the floor, the room dark meaning it was night time and the school was closed for the day.
Looking up, there Izzy was sitting on the chair with his arms crossed as he frowned down at us.
"Izzy, were you waiting this whole time?" Tai asked as we all got up.
"Shh. Let's go." He whispered as we all followed him out of the school so we weren't caught by the janitor.
"Matt just called and told me what had happened with Dai and Patamon." Izzy said frowning as we all walked behind him.
"And I'm really upset that you guys have left me out of the loop. Cody called Tai for help and Tai called Matt, but no one ever calls me until the adventure is all over with." He ranted as Yolei, TK, Cody, Kari and I all looked away nervously, even though he wasn't facing us.
"Come on Izzy, don't be like that. There was just no time to call you. You know you're a big part of the team." Tai said making the red head stop and quickly turn to face him.
"That's right! And as a team member, I expect to be treated with the same respect I give to all of you. I may not be as strong as you, Dai and Matt, but I've gotten us out of just as many jams with my particular skills." Izzy said as we all stood listening to him.
"I'm sorry I didn't call you." Tai said making him smile.
"Now that's what I call respect. Okay, I forgive you." Izzy said.
"Wow, that was easy." Tai said stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"Oh, I almost forgot the reason I came here. I examined the new digivces and determined that they have three different settings." Izzy said as our digivices all beeped and we pulled them out to look them over.
"Digital, detect and discover. Maybe we should call them D-3s from now on." Izzy suggested with a smile.
"Prodigeous little devices, aren't they?" he asked.
"I had a lot of help with the research from my friend Willis in America. Maybe you guys will meet him someday. Anyway, I think the D-3s might have sent a message to Andromon's memory banks that made him-"
"Please finish talking after we eat." Patamon whined tiredly, cutting Izzy off.
"It's been a long day." I chuckled tiredly.
"And we forgot about dinner." Upamon chirped.
"That's right. Our parents are waiting for us. The food's probably cold and soggy by now. Of course, for my mom, that's an improvement. Let's go!" Tai said as we all started running to get home.
