Chapter 8: Courage
[Chloe's POV]
I gasped in awe at the Mega level Digimon, I've only heard of them, but never seen one in person, it made me wonder just who his partner was. I turned to the man who was cheering Wargreymon and started to analyze his appearance, who was he? I may have never figured it out if it wasn't for loud mouthed Dante, "You're Tai Kamiya! One of the original eight!"
"Original eight?" I asked in confusion, causing Dante to turn towards me with a slight smirk.
"You mean the girl who studies as much as you do doesn't know about the original eight Digidestined?" he asked in amusement, while Tai looked at us in annoyance.
The man simply shook his head, "Guys, can we do this once the Digimon are gone?"
Both Dante and I stopped our arguing and looked towards him, "Right, sorry."
"Okay, now let's-" Drake was interrupted as Rayquaza erupted from the ocean and slammed Jumbogamemon's minons into the air, "Nevermind..."
"Well, it seems we're in the presence of a legend," Wargreymon chuckled as he dodged several of Jumbogamemon's attacks.
"So, what are we supposed to do, just sit here?" I asked feeling useless. Everything seemed to be taken care of, Wargreymon taking out the giant tortoise with Rayquaza taking out his lackeys.
Tai grinned, "Well for starters, you can help everyone off this boat and over to Sky Pillar, I'm sure this boat'll sink any moment."
"Right!" Scarlet was the first to agree with the order, followed by Dante, Drake, and I.
"Good, now get going! We've got this covered," Tai ordered, "Right bud?"
Wargreymon nodded as he continued his fight, "Terra Force!"
"Megaton Hydro Laser!" Jumbogamemon roared as both the attacks collide causing a giant mist formed from the conflicting tempatures. The giant eyed through the fog, serching for his opponent, "Where are you."
Rayquaza charged another Hyper Beam as Mantaraymon braced himself, "Here it comes," he urked as the giant beam exploded on him, resulting him in being reduced to nothing more than a Digi-Egg.
"Mantaraymon! You'll pay for that you bastard, Hydro Wave!" Tylomon launches a giant torrent of water from his jaws that catches Rayquaza from surprise, but doesn't do too much, "What the Hell are you!?"
[Scarlet's POV]
"One at a time, don't push, we're all getting off this boat," Drake urged everyone as they made their way to the lifeboats.
I noticed Dante look back to where the battle was raging on, "I hope he'll be alright," I sighed.
"Don't worry, if half the stories I heard about him were true, then he'll be just fine," Dante assured me.
Drake nodded, "That's good, because something tells me we'll need someone like him."
"Thank you kids, I hope to see you on the island," the captian told us as he entered the next to last life boats with the rest of the passengers. I felt good that I helped these people, but we needed to get the Hell out of here.
"Okay guys, let's get out of here," I urged them as the other three nodded. Once Chloe and I entered the boat, we noticed that Drake and Dante didn't get in, "Guys, come on."
"Sorry," Dante apologized as he punched the button to lower us into the water, I was shocked at why he did this. I turned to Chloe who just shook her head, almost as if she expected this, "What are they doing?"
"What boys always do, something stupid and dangerous," she sighed. Chloe, Floramon, and I all paddled to Sky Pillar to meet up with the rest of the passengers, "So, what are we supposed to do now? There's no boat to go back to," Chloe groaned as everyone watched the ship get demolished by the giant fight in the distance.
"We wait, hopefully someone will come to rescue us soon," the captain sighed as he sat down on a nearby rock and watched the battle, "Say, what are those things?"
"They're called Digimon, the ones that attacked our ship are evil ones, two other Digimon are fighting them with Rayquaza though," I explained.
I overheard a small child begging his mom, "Mommy, when I'm old enough, I want to start with a Digimon!"
"Sorry kid, but unless you've already been chosen, you can't have a Digimon partner, people who have Digimon are meant to save worlds and are destined to become heroes," Chloe apologized, making the kid tear up, "but don't cry, I'll let you play with my partner, Floramon."
This seemed to do the trick as Floramon instantely made the kid cheer up, "Thank you, I hate seeing him cry," his mother told us, we just smiled and modestly gave her a no problem.
[Dante's POV]
"So, what's the plan?" Drake asked me as we ran through the sinking ship.
"Honestly? I was going to wing it and attempt to get Dorumon to Ultimate, so what do ya' say, bud?" I asked my best friend, who smirked and nodded, "can a Whamon eat a car?"
I smiled back at him, "That's the spirit," as we made it back to the spot where Tai was, I noticed Tylomon was gone and Wargreymon with Rayquaza were currently double teaming Jumbogamemon who could barely hold them off.
"What the Hell are you doing here!? You were supposed to be off of this ship!" Tai scolded, but smiled, "You know, you remind me a lot of me when I was your age, okay you two can help."
"Really? I get to fight by the great Tai Kamiya!? Awesome!" I cheered causing everyone who wasn't currently fighting to sweatdrop, "Okay, go get 'em Dorumon!"
"Right away, Dante!" Dorumon cheered, "Dorumon Digivolve to... Dorugamon!" the familiar Champion cheered, "Dorugamon Digivolve to... Dorugreymon!"
"Woah," I heard Drake gasp as he saw the giant red dragon take flight.
Tai grinned, "Not bad, but I haven't seen anything like him before."
"Coming through, Bloody Tower!" Rayquaza and Wargreymon stopped their assault as Dorugreymon charged straight down the middle and rammed Jumbogamemon with his horn, "Going up!" the two flew into the stratosphere, and before I knew it, they were nowhere to be seen. Ten seconds later, the giant tortoise, Jumbogamemon, plummeted to the sea below him and caused a massive tidal wave that almost washed us off the boat.
"That's some partner you got," Tai complimented, causing me rub the back of my head and awkwardly laugh.
"Thanks, but we've only been up to Ultimate, we don't even know what Mega looks like," I humbly spoke. Dorugreymon then flew back down to the front of the boat.
"Okay guys, if we're getting off this Titanic, we better do it now," Dorugreymon warned as Drake and I got on his back and took off with Tai and Wargreymon following close behind and Rayquaza returning to the skies. As we landed on the island, people were cautious, but a kid ran up to Dorugreymon, who nuzzled him gently, showing that he was no threat.
I slid off my partner's back then turned to the captain, "Well the good news is, we don't have to worry about those monsters anymore, but I don't think that boat will sail again."
The captain nodded and put a hand on my shoulder, "That's fine, I'm just glad you two got rid of those things before they had a chance to hurt anyone."
Tai stepped up to the captain as our partners degenerated to Rookie, "Excuse me, but does anyone have phone? Maybe we could call someone to come help us off this rock."
"Uh, I have one," Scarlet spoke up as she brought her Pokegear, "it should be able to get a signal out here."
"Thank you, I'll give it back to you as soon as I'm done," he smiled and walked to somewhere more quiet. After a few minutes of waiting, the captain strolled back over to Scarlet and gave her the Pokegear back, "Thank you, we'll be going home soon."
[Drake's POV]
We sat there for approximately fifteen minutes with nothing much to do but stare out at the sea, which we were all sick of by this point, "Man, I hope they get here soon," I sighed and leaned back on the wall of Sky Pillar.
"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll get here soon," Tai assured.
"Hey, you never really told us why you're here," Chloe spoke towards Tai.
"I guess I haven't, well I was celebrating another anniversary with the other Japanese Digidestined, then some sort of worm hole opened up below us and we were all sucked in," the man explained, "I've been searching for them for a few weeks now, and I've found no sign of them."
"Well, it seems we're after about the same thing," Dante sighed as he reminisces about home, "How about we travel together? For now at least."
Tai smiled at the thought, "You know what? I'll take you up on that offer, I need to get back in the habit of leading a team anyways."
"Yes!" Dante cheered, causing me to chuckle.
"Wow Dante, I've never seen you worship someone like this," I joked.
"Why shouldn't I? He's one of the reasons Dorumon and I even know each other," Dante reasoned. Chloe looked thoughtfully at Floramon who was currently talking to Agumon and Dorumon. All of a sudden, Rayquaza swooped down from the tower's peak and landed in front of us.
"What does it want?" Scarlet nervously asked. The dragon answered by simply gesturing up to the roof of the tower.
I stood up and knew what he wanted, "I think he wants us to meet him up at the roof of the tower," Rayquaza nodded then flew back to the top.
"Well, should we keep him waiting?" I asked the others.
"I don't think it's smart to keep a giant green dragon waiting," Tai reasoned as the rest of us nodded.
The captain walked over to us, "Are you okay? We saw everything."
"Yeah, we're fine," I told the captain, "but we're going up Sky Pillar now."
Dante then butted in, "And don't worry about waiting for us, we'll find our own way off this rock."
"Suit yourselves, I'll see you on the otherside," he told us as we gave our good byes and entered the tower home to a living legend. Whatever Rayquaza wanted, it must be important.
