I hope everyone is ready for the aftermath of what happened in the last chapter. Last time Kimeramon took down the Digidestined kids and almost killed them, until their new friends arrived. Renamon and Lopmon showed off their skills and kicked ass. Now we find out how they were able to Digivolve without crests.
Now it's time for the disclaimer for this chapter. I don't own anything of Digimon just my OCs. I also want to thank my friend for his help on the story and for the ideas for this chapter. Time to begin and enjoy the chapter everyone.
Bonding
Digital World (Normal pov)
"Sooooo you're Yolei and Kari's friends huh?" asked Rachel who is sitting down on the ground next to Chris.
The Digidestined kids except for Kari who is sitting next to Chris making Davis not like him, are sitting across from the new kids. After the destruction of the dark tower and the defeat of Kimeramon the kids decided to take a breather to get to know each other. The Digidestined kids are still shock that their new friends managed to defeat a powerful Digimon like Kimeramon, but how they did it is what shocked them the most.
"Yep, this is them," said Yolei as she introduces her friends. "This is Davis, Cody, Ken, and T.K. And their Digimon, Veemon, Armadillomon, Wormmon, and Patamon."
"Nice to meet you guys. I'm Chris, this is Viximon, Rachel, and Lopmon," said Chris introducing himself and his friends to their new friends.
"You guys were amazing out there against Kimeramon," said Cody impressed with how their new friends defeated the hybrid Digimon.
"I still can't believe your Digimon can Digivolve into the Ultimate level without crests," said Ken still trying to figure out how the Digimon Digivolved.
"Crests?" asked Rachel confuse with what Ken meant.
T.K. explained in the best way he can. "They are what we used to help our Digimon Digivolve into the Ultimate level. They each represented a special trait we each have."
Kari continues for her friend. "T.K. and I are one of the original 8 Digidestined kids who had these crests and used them to help our Digimon defeat the bad ones that tried to destroy both our world along with the Digital world."
"Oh right and you told us that your friends," Chris points to Davis, Cody, and Yolei. "Found some eggs with symbols on them that helped their Digimon Digivolve. Were those symbols were the crests then?"
"Yep, pretty much," said Yolei. "Still, I wonder how you guys did it, unless you guys secretly have crests."
"Nope, but I do have a question," Rachel takes out her cell phone. "Do I get good signal here?"
While some of the kids laughed, Davis didn't, and glared at Chris who notices the glare. "Yes? Can I help you?"
"I just find it a bit odd that you guys show up on the day that Control Spires appeared and how you're Digimon were able to Digivolved into the ultimate level while ours could not," said Davis who is suspicious of the two new kids, but mostly on Chris.
Kari sighs in annoyance knowing what Davis is doing. "Davis, please stop."
"No, I'm serious. Don't you guys find it odd that all this happened and that Kimeramon lost so easily to these two?" said Davis who didn't trust Rachel and Chris.
Before Yolei could say anything Rachel speaks. "Davis, right?" Davis nods his head. "Good, I get it you don't trust us because we're new to the group or because you think Kari is your girlfriend even though she isn't but you get jealous if any boy tries to make a move on her."
Davis's cheeks begin to turn red while the girls giggled. "I-I don't know what you're talking about."
"Save it mister, I know all about you and listen up," said Rachel speaking in a serious tone now. "You don't trust us? Fine, I don't care but I will not stand by and let you accuse us of something without backing it up. The next time you accuse me and my friend of anything without proof I will take those goggles from your head then shove them down your damn throat, then watch you choke on them."
Everyone besides Chris, Yolei, and Kari moved away from Rachel all shock with what the girl said. Lopmon sighs and tries to calm everyone down. "Sorry, she just doesn't like anyone saying bad things about her and Chris. She doesn't mean it."
In the back of Davis's mind he could tell the girl meant what she said. Why did Yolei have to invite this girl? She's so scary.
Yolei clears her throat and tries to move along. "Um yeah anyways I think we should go to the Primary village to ask the Digimon if they know who build the tower."
"I'll go too," said Kari. "I want to show Rachel and Chris the village.
"Good idea," said Ken knowing Rachel and Chris will need to know about Primary village. "In the meantime I'll contact Izzy to see if he can find out anything on the kids who had the dark spores in them."
"You still think one of them could have done this?" asked Cody.
"I do," said Ken still thinking about the possibility of one of the kids turning. "It happened once and it could happen again."
"All right then in the meantime T.K. you and Davis mind looking around here?" asked Yolei.
"Sure, we'll check the area to find any clue on who was behind this."
"All right, let's get going then," said Yolei as she leads the others towards Primary village.
Human World (Tai's pov)
"It's still raining Tai," I turn towards Agumon who is wearing his raincoat that my parents gave him for Christmas.
"I know," I said knowing it's still raining outside.
I moved out of the house after I graduated from high school and moved into an apartment near my college. Matt offered to be my roommate since he quit the band and wanted to get a job as an astronaut. I was a little surprise when he told me what he wanted to do. Then again he did say being part of a band wasn't as much fun when they started. Too many people bothering him, wanting his autograph, and Davis's sister always bugging him to go out with her.
Gabumon is living with us as well, which is good since that means Agumon has someone to hang out with while Matt and I are in class. The two Digimon stay out of trouble and stay in the apartment unless they have a good disguise to out in. Of course their costumes aren't very convincing, but of course in college students are always so focus on their classes that they don't notice anyone or anything.
"I guess we won't be going out to hang with the others then," said Matt who is on the couch watching some TV with Gabumon. "I guess I won't be able to see Sora off when she goes on her trip."
Sora and I dated after the defeat of MaloMyotismon, but we broke up six months later. The problem wasn't because we don't love each other. The problem was we didn't see any future with us being together. I do love her, but those feelings weren't real love. Sora felt it too and we both knew it wasn't going to work out.
A year ago Sora and Matt decided to try dating and the two really hit it off. I wasn't mad or felt jealous. I was happy for the two and hope they have a good long relationship. A week ago Sora told us she would be going to New York for the college exchange student program that she volunteered to take. She did it to try to college in the New York and to spend some time with Mimi who needed a roommate.
It was nice since the two girls never got to spend much time together like in the old days. In fact I haven't seen much of the old gang in a long time either. Joe is finishing up his final classes before graduation and becoming a doctor. Izzy is helping the new Digidestined by teaching them about the Digital world and about different kinds of Digimon. Mimi, well she lives in the United States so we don't get to see her much at all. The only ones I do see all the time are Sora, Matt, Kari, and T.K., but it doesn't feel the same.
"Hey, why don't we try meeting them in the Digital world?" I suggested.
"You think we can?" asked Gabumon.
"Sure, that sounds like a great idea and you'll be able to say your goodbyes with Sora," said Agumon.
I see Matt smiling and I can see he likes the idea. "All right, sounds good let me go call her then."
As if on cue our phone begins to ring and we assume its Sora. I pick it up and spoke. "Hey Sora, are you still at the airport?"
"No it's me Izzy. Didn't you see your caller I.D.," I looked at my phone and forgot it has caller I.D. "You forgot again didn't you?"
"Sorry, I guess I have a lot on my mind," Izzy can't blame me for not checking my caller I.D. like he wouldn't make the same mistake. "Anyway, what's up?"
"Tai, we have a problem," I can hear Izzy's tone and I know when he means 'trouble' it means 'really big trouble'.
"What's wrong? Is Kari okay?"
"No, she's fine and so are the others," I mentally sighed in relief glad that my sister is okay. "So, what's wrong?"
"Are you and Matt near a computer?" asked Izzy.
I turn to Matt who nods his head as he takes out his laptop. "Yeah, we're near one. Why?"
"Just get on and I'll tell you everything," I hear the line go down and assume Izzy hung up.
I walk over towards Matt who looks concern. "Is everything okay?"
"I don't know," I really don't know what is going on, but whatever it is can't be good.
"You think it has something to do with the Digital world?" asked Agumon.
"That may be the case, buddy," I said knowing whenever something bad is happening it seems to involve the Digital world.
"Well, I'm sure it's nothing too serious," said Gabumon.
"I hope you're right," I really hope Gabumon is right and this isn't something too serious.
Digital World (Normal pov)
T.K. begins searching in the rubble for any clues on who is behind the tower. Patamon flew off to find any cameras in case whoever made the tower was nearby. Ken told them that there is a possibility that someone was watching them since he knows he used to watch them try attacking his Control Spires when he was the Digimon emperor.
As T.K. continues searching he noticed Davis and Veemon weren't doing anything. "Um Davis, you know you can help me search right?"
Davis snaps out of his thoughts and turns to T.K. "Oh right sorry I was just um thinking."
"That's a first." T.K. guesses Davis is thinking about what the girl Rachel said. "Look, don't worry so much about what she said. I'm sure she has her reasons, but in a way she's right."
"What do you mean?" asked Veemon wondering how the girl was right.
"Davis, you're a good Digidestined and a good leader. Heck if it wasn't for you we wouldn't have been able to stand up to MaloMyotismon," said T.K. remembering how everyone was too scared to fight MaloMyotismon after he destroyed Mummymon and Arukenimon. "The problem is you think Kari is going to be your girlfriend, but she won't."
"How do you know?" asked Davis.
"Because she told me after I asked her out," Davis has a shock look on his face, while T.K. had a sad expression. "I like her, a lot like you do Davis, but she didn't feel the same towards me. She told me she doesn't have the same feelings about you either, but she does care about us both."
Davis falls to the ground devastated that Kari isn't interested in him at all. He has had a crush on her since they first met and wanted her to be his girlfriend. He never liked T.K. because he felt because of the history he has with Kari that Davis would never have a chance. But hearing that she turned him down too it cheered him up, just a little.
"It's okay Davis," said Veemon trying to cheer his friend up.
T.K. decides to try helping cheer Davis up too. "Listen, I know it hurts, but trust me you'll get over it."
"How do you know?" asked Davis.
T.K. sits down next to Davis and explains. "Because what you're feeling is what I felt when Kari told me she wasn't interested. It hurts, but I know I can't change the way Kari feels. But at least we can still be friends with her, which is still good."
A small smile is shown on Davis's face realizing that as long as he is friends with Kari that is still good. "You're right."
"Just don't piss her off like earlier or she might sic Rachel on you," said T.K. laughing a little remembering the look Davis had when Rachel scared him.
Davis laughs nervously knowing full well not to piss the girl off. "R-right, you don't think she'll do what she said she would do to me, right?"
T.K. wasn't sure how to respond to that since the way Rachel threatened Davis there is a good chance she was serious. "Let's not find out, okay?"
"Deal," said Davis not wanting to invoke the wrath of Rachel.
"Hey guys, over here I found something," T.K. and Davis turn towards where Patamon flew from.
"What is it Patamon?" asked T.K.
"Just follow me," Patamon leads his friends into the forest towards some destroyed trees.
"This is what you wanted to show us?" asked Veemon confused on why Patamon brought them here.
"Look under the trees," Patamon pointed to something buried under the trees. Whatever it was it was groaning.
"Guys, try to break the trees off," said Davis.
Patamon inhales some air then shoots it out. "Boom Bubble!" The bubble hit the tree smashing part of it.
Veemon jumps towards the tree head first. "Vee-Headbutt!" He breaks through the trees freeing whatever was trapped under them.
"All right, let's see who it is," said Davis as they remove the branches to find an injured Digimon. "Who is this?"
T.K. and Patamon look on shock at who it is. "It's Ogremon."
Meanwhile (Kari's pov)
"The village is where Digimon are reborn after they die?" asked Chris after I told him what Primary village is.
"Mhm, as long as they die in the Digital world they can come back to life and they are protected by a Digimon name Elecmon," I said explaining more about the village.
"That's cool and hopefully nothing bad happens to our Digimon," said Rachel with Lopmon on her head.
"So, is that where all Digimon come from?" asked Lopmon.
"Not really," said Yolei. "That's where they go when they die."
"So, how does a Digimon become born?" asked Chris curious on the birth of Digimon.
"We're not sure ourselves," said Hawkmon who isn't sure how he and many of his friends were born. "But I know how Gatomon and the others were born."
Gatomon jumps on my shoulder and explains. "We were made long ago so we would be partnered up with Kari and the other original Digidestined to combat against the evil Digimon."
"Wow," is all Chris said till he turns towards Renamon. "Were you made to be my partner too Renamon?"
"I'm not sure," said Renamon. "All I remember is waking up in the real world and when I met you something inside me told me I needed to protect you."
"And you have as my friend," said Chris.
"Awww that's nice Chris," I said happy that Chris is nice towards Renamon.
"That is nice and as far as I know I don't think other Digimon were made to be partnered with other Digidestined kids," said Gatomon.
"Okay, so we weren't made, but it doesn't matter," said Lopmon who hugs Rachel. "I'm just glad to have friends like you guys."
"Same here pal," said Rachel grabbing Lopmon and hugs her.
"Well you guys are going to make more friends when you meet my brother and the rest of the original Digidestined," I just hope Rachel doesn't act the way she did towards Davis to the others.
"Here we are," said Yolei as we arrive to Primary village.
I grab Chris's hand and lead him into the village where we see so many different kinds of Digi-eggs and baby Digimon. I showed him around and explained to him how Elecmon is in charge of protecting the baby Digimon until they grow up. Sort of like a babysitter, except he takes his job very seriously.
"This place is like a daycare, but for baby Digimon," said Chris noticing the toy blocks and colorful floor.
"Yeah, it's a good place for all the baby Digimon and I like to come here to help out," I see some baby Digimon blowing bubbles and playing with each other. I smile and picked one up gently. "Who knows, one day one of these Digimon will have a human partner."
I see Chris smile as he picks up a baby Digimon gently. "They're so soft."
"Yeah, just be careful with them."
Chris nods his head and continues to play with the baby Digimon. More begin to go towards Chris and begin to play with him. I giggled when I see the baby Digimon ganging up on him and seeing them tickle him. It's funny to see this, especially when he's having fun.
I look over and see Renamon near one of the blocks with her eyes close. I motioned for Gatomon to keep an eye on Chris, while I talk to his friend. "Hey Renamon, what are you doing?"
"Meditating," is all Renamon said bluntly.
"Oh," I lean against the block and looked up at her. "Is everything okay?"
"Yes."
I decided to try something else. "Does anything around here seem familiar?"
"No."
Well that didn't work, I should try something else. "How come you don't want to play with the others?"
I see her shrugging her shoulders. "Don't feel like it."
I groan quietly that I wasn't getting nowhere with Renamon. So I decided to try one last thing. "I noticed you seem close to Chris. You care about him a lot, don't you?"
Renamon opens her eyes and looks towards me. I see her looking towards Chris who is sitting on the ground with the Digimon playing with them. "He has a good heart. Despite all the things we have seen, especially the different people who are cruel, and mean. He never let any of that change who he is."
"I heard," I said remembering what Chris told me about all they went through. "He even told me how you and the others wanted to hurt these people, but he always convinced you to not do it."
I see Renamon nodding her head and looking down. "He told us they weren't worth it and how hurting those people will not make us better than them. They will get what is coming to them one way or another."
"And did they?" I asked.
"Yes," said Renamon as she moves her head towards me. "I hope you and your friends treat him well, because if you don't I will make sure you all pay."
I gulped when I saw the seriousness in Renamon's tone and eyes. I slowly nod my head as she takes off. "Wow, she's…scary."
"Kari," I look over and see Yolei running towards me.
"What's wrong? Where's Rachel?"
"She's okay she's talking to Elecmon," I look over and see Rachel and Lopmon talking to Elecmon. "Anyways, Davis just contacted me. He said they found someone."
"Who?" I asked.
"It's Ogremon and Davis said they found him seriously hurt."
I was shock with what Yolei said and couldn't believe who they found. Ogremon, what happened to him?
Unknown Location (Normal pov)
Leomon begins to wake up growling quietly. He looks around and sees he's in some kind of dark room. He tries to get up, but finds he is bound to what appears to be dark chains. He tries to break free, but feels his strength is gone. Leomon then notices the chains are humming. A closer look reveals they are glowing and so he assumes these chains are what is draining his strength.
"Like them?" Leomon looks over at the direction where he heard the voice, but couldn't see who it is. "I made them myself. The more you struggle the more energy you lose and strength the chains. The only way to get them off is if I break the chains or you die."
The figure laughs as slowly steps out of the shadows, but not enough for Leomon to make out the appearance of the figure. "I wouldn't advice the second option."
Leomon growls in anger knowing why the figure doesn't want him to die. "So, you spared me only so I can give you information, correct?"
The lion Digimon can hear the figure laughing again, which was starting to irritate him. "I thought so. Whatever you want you'll never get it from me. I won't betray my comrades."
A bright light turns on over the lion Digimon who shuns his eyes from the brightness of the light. He begins to hear some footsteps heading towards him. He slowly opens his eyes and sees a figure appearing from the shadows. Leomon sees the figure is around 6ft tall, his appearance is covered by a long dark cloak and hood, and in his hands appear to be some sort of gauntlet that is making a low humming sound.
The figure kneels down in front of Leomon who can see despite most of his face being covered up is a young human boy. An evil smile creeps on the boy's face as he speaks to the lion Digimon.
"The great Leomon," said the young man as he stares at his prisoner. "We finally meet."
Ogremon is found injured and hurt. What happened to him and how did Leomon get captured? What does this evil foe want with him and will the kids save him in time before it's too late? Find out next time to see what happens and if anyone has a problem with me making Davis look like an asshole in the beginning of the chapter, sorry about that.
I want to thank my friend who remains anonymous for his help on the chapter. I appreciate it my friend. Please leave some reviews and let me know what you guys thought of the chapter. Nothing negative please, if you didn't like it then don't leave a review. All right time for me to go, take care, and goodbye.
