Chapter Six: Fighter's Respite

Christian's Pov:

I sit outside the infirmary waiting for Angel. A doctor walks out, and I get to my feet. She puts a hand on my shoulder and smiles. "Don't worry your friend will be good as new before the final match. She'll be out in a bit." I sigh in relief, "Thank you Doctor Weiss." She nods and walk off. I sit back down and close my eyes. "Alexis is our next opponent, she's strong with a mega and one other digimon we have not seen. It'll be tough but we will win"

Suddenly hand clamp down on my shoulder and a female voice yells. "Boo!" I scream and jump forward. "What the hell!? I shout, and turn around to see a seventeen year old blond girl giggling. I sigh, "Angel you nearly gave me a heart attack." Sol yells from the digivice, "That is not Angel that is a human!" I open my mouth to respond, but Blaze cuts in. "Sol don't be an idiot, Digimon have the ability to take a human form if partnered with a human or if they are strong enough a wild digimon can do it on their own."

Sol yells in response, "Then why do we not see more of them in human form!?" I close my eyes and speak in a calm tone, "There are a number of reasons each digimon to do it or not. Maybe it is because they believe it is crossing some kind of boundary. Maybe because they are just more comfortable not being in a human form. Etcetera. Etcetera. I cannot say which one it is for sure." There is a dead silence, I open my eyes and see Angel staring at me.

I stand up and put my hands in my pocket, "Don't get used to me getting like that. Now let's go get some lunch. Sol, Blaze realize. Blaze remember to take human form we don't want another problem with chairs."

Alexis' Pov:

"Luna, Minerva, Grim are you ready?" I ask, looking over the railing on the third floor in the concessions area. Luna and Minerva responds in unison, "Yeah!" A tall skinny boy with pale blonde hair, and red irises, wearing black jeans and a white hoodie walks up. "He will be a tough foe to face, but he has little chance against us." I smile a little, "good"

There is a short silence before we all hear a small rumbling. Luna chimes in, "Someone's hungry~!" I give a grin and push off the railing, "Come on let's go get some food before the match." Minervamon decided to take the form of a seventeen year old girl with long blue pigtails, wearing a black tank top, a hot pink skirt, and a pair of combat boots. Luna stares at her and says in an amazed voice, "Melons~"

On our way to the café Minerva gets a series of whistles from men. I hate to admit it but I am jealous of her, I wish someone paid attention to me like that. "How can this day get much worse?" As if god was listening the last thing I wanted to happen came to pass. "Hey Christian, right?" He turned around and looked at me with a smile, "Hey Alexis, Luna, and Minerva?" Christian took a long look at Grim and moved the goggles around his neck, I have no clue why. His eyes seemed narrowed a bit, "Reapmon/Baalmon the keeper The Red Book of Appin."

Grim narrowed his own eyes, it seemed like the two were going to start fighting here and now. Grim started to speak in a dangerous tone, "How did you know that?" "Does it matter?" A tall man with blood red hair dressed like biker next to Chris replies in dangerous tone.

In a split second Grim had pulled out his shotgun and the red haired man had pulled a large revolver. Then something really odd happened. In unison Christian and I yelled, "Stop it! This is not the place, save it for the finals." We looked at each other and continued in perfect synchronization, "Did we just? We did. Stop that… The Princess Bride was the greatest movie ever!" Chris took a deep breath, "All of us should just relax and get some lunch. Alexis would you like to eat with us… and your team of course?"

"Did he single me out on purpose?" I smile, "We would love too, wouldn't we?" Luna and Minerva cheer in agreement, while Grim glared silently at Chris. We went through the line and ordered our food before sitting down a table. "I have to admit it's nice to get a chance to talk to you Alexis when my life is not in danger. Thank you again for that by the way." I look at him with the constant smile that has been painted on my face for a few minutes, "It was no problem."

Christian's Pov:

"Is that bells I hear?" Angel says with a smirk. Alexis' face starts to turn bright red and she starts stuttering. I yell, "Angel!" I take a deep breath and stand up. "I am going to get Alexis some ice and a paper bag." Once Alexis comes down we start to talk, and laugh as we eat. We finish up a little over an hour later. I extend a hand to her, "Good luck, although I figure you won't need it." She shakes my hand and replies with a smirk, "Same to you, and you will need it."

Alexis and her team walk off and I put my hand in my pocket. "Well guys looks like tomorrow is going to be fun."
