Digimon V2
Chapter 10: The beast of sincerity and friendship.
Renji is sitting in the kitchen, still depressed about Mimi. His thoughts eventually wandered to Tai and Sora's new relationship as boyfriend and girl friend. He envied them, they have a happily ever after, but not him.
"Renji."
He turned around to see Akira in the doorway.
"Come into the living room," Akira said, "We have a guest."
Renji nodded and got up. He followed Akira into the living room and saw Gallantmon on a chair.
Renji gasped and asked, "What's he doing here?"
"I am in need of your help," was all that Gallantmon said.
Renji asked, "With what?"
Gallantmon replied, "Helping me find something that is very important to me….a gem."
"What kind of gem is it?" Akira asked.
Gallantmon replied, "A gem that contains Sakuyamon."
Both eyes of Renji and Akira went wide when they heard that.
Akira got over the shock and said, "Sakuyamon is alive!"
Gallantmon's reply was a simple nod.
"How are we going to find it?" Renji asked.
Gallantmon replied, "I'll be the one to find it, you are going to be my protection."
"I won't be able to protect you by myself," Renji said.
Gallantmon replied, "That is why I enlisted the aid of two of the digidestined."
The doorbell rang.
"That must be them now," Akira said, "Renji, could you get it please."
Renji nodded and walked towards the door and opened it to reveal Matt, Gabumon, Palmon, and Mimi. Renji cringed when he saw her. He was nervous that Mimi would find out that he loves her and that she would reject him for Matt.
"Renji, you okay?"
Renji was knocked out of his thoughts when he heard Mimi's voice.
Renji replied, "Yes I'm okay."
With Tai
While Renji was trying to overcome his fears, Tai was with Sora and he was loving every minute of it. He loved Sora, he always imagined her saying that she loved him, but he didn't imagine that happening while he was turning into some digimon. They enjoyed each others company since that night, including that nights little 'activity.'
"So Tai where should we go next?" Sora asked her boyfriend as she leaned her head on his shoulder.
Tai answered, "Where ever you want to go next."
Suddenly, Tai clutched his head in pain as strange images started appearing in his head including a white castle, a village, and buildings on fire while he heard people screaming.
Sora saw how much pain he was in and asked, "Tai what's wrong, are you okay?"
The visions stopped as he said, "Yeah just a headache."
"Are you sure?" Sora asked in a worried tone, "You could rest for a bit."
"It's okay Sora, I'll be fine," Tai replied.
"Okay," Sora said.
Tai felt bad for lying to Sora, but he didn't want her to worry about him so much. When he sees Akira, he's going to ask him about the visions.
At the park
Renji, Mimi, Matt, Gabumon, and Palmon were following Gallantmon while he was using his compass to find Sakuyamon's gem.
"How much longer till we find it?" asked Matt.
Gallantmon replied, "Were getting closer, so not to long."
Renji then saw a glowing blue stone in a tree.
"Hey," Renji said getting everyone's attention and pointed at the stone, "Is that it?"
Gallantmon saw the stone and said, "Yes, that is it. Now all we have to do is get it."
"Leave that to me," Renji said.
Renji began to run towards the tree and jumped so high that he landed exactly where the gem was and jumped again to Gallantmon and handed him the gem.
"Many thanks to you all," Gallantmon said as he took the stone, "Without all of you I would not of been reunited with my beloved."
"It is unfortunate it will be a short reunion."
Everyone turned to look at the source of the noise and saw Lucemon.
"Lucemon," said Renji angrily.
"Ah, the holder of the bronze digivice, we meet again," Lucemon said with a grin beginning to grow.
"What do you want?" Gallantmon asked.
"Getting right down to the point I see," Lucemon said, "Give me Sakuyamon's gem and no one will be harmed."
"Never," Gallantmon replied.
"Fine then," Lucemon said with his grin disappearing, "It appears I will have to go to plan B then."
Lucemon pulled out a green gem from a dark hole he just created and gave the gem dark energy. When he finished, the gem levitated in thin air until it grew and broke into pieces revealing MegaGargomon.
"Damn it," Renji swore, "This isn't good."
"What do you mean?" Palmon asked.
Renji replied, "That's MegaGargomon, he was one of the three legendary guardians until he went berserk and was killed by Gallantmon."
"Speaking of Gallantmon," MegaGargomon said looking at him, "It's been a long time old friend."
"You and he are no longer friends after what you did," Gallantmon said in rage at his former friend.
"Oh for God's sake," Renji said, "Let's just get this over with."
Renji then pulled out his bronze digivice while Matt and Mimi pulled out theirs.
"Sincerity evolution….execute."
"Gabumon digivolve to….Garurumon."
"Palmon digivolve to….Togemon."
"Timbermon."
MegaGargomon looked at the three digimon.
"This is the best you can do," MegaGargomon said, "Mega missile."
Two missiles were headed towards the three digimon, but fortunately Timbermon drew his sword from his shield and cut both missiles in half.
"Get out of here, now," Timbermon said to Gallantmon.
"Thank you all," Gallantmon said, "I am forever in your debt."
He then used his lance to open a portal and once he entered it the portal immediately closed.
"Now that Gallantmon is gone, we don't have to worry about anyone getting hurt," Garurumon said.
"Let's finish this now," Timbermon said, "Sincerity slash."
"Needle spray."
"Howling blaster."
MegaGargomon dodged all the attacks.
"Mega missile."
The two missiles hit both Garurumon and Togemon, de-digivolving them back to their rookie forms. However, Timbermon is still in the battle. He begins to attack MegaGargomon with his sword, but he still dodges his attacks and MegaGargomon punches him in the chest.
"Mega barrage."
A barrage of missiles hit Timbermon and slammed him into a tree causing him to turn back into Renji. MegaGargomon begins to walk towards Renji with the attempt to kill. But, Mimi gets in front of him.
"Stay away from him," Mimi threatened.
MegaGargomon laughed and pushed her out of the way, but she got in his way again and he pushed her away once again.
After the fifth time, he finally asks, "Why are you so insistent on protecting him."
Mimi replied, "Because I care about him."
"Really," MegaGargomon said, "There must be a more important reason, so tell me or I'll make his death slow and painful.
Mimi thought for a moment and said, "The real reason is….well….that….I love him."
Renji eyes widened as he heard that.
"Fool," MegaGargomon said, "Love is nothing, it will only lead to your destruction."
"That's not true," Mimi exclaimed, "Love is more powerful than you can ever imagine."
"I'll show you what real power is," MegaGargomon said.
He lifted his fist to try to punch her but his arm got slashed by Akira's sword.
"I will not stand by and watch you destroy the love these two share for each other," Akira said as he pulled out his silver digivice, "Sincerity friendship fusion….execute."
Akira was then covered in a light with both colors of green and blue and then disappeared.
"TimberGarurumon." (A.N.: He looks like a wooden version of MetalGarurumon but has giant leaves instead of wings on his back.)
When MegaGargomon saw this new digimon he said, "You don't look so tough."
"If I were you," TimberGarurumon said, "I wouldn't underestimate your opponent."
He then began to slash at the digimon with his wooden claws causing MegaGargomon pain. TimberGarurumon then jumped away from the digimon.
"Razor leaf wolf bite."
A tornado of leaves emerged from his mouth and the leaves cut MegaGargomon to pieces causing him to be deleted. TimberGarurumon then turned back into Akira and walked towards Renji, he took out a stone and a light shone on Renji causing his wounds to heal.
He then walked towards Matt and said to him, "I think we should leave these two alone."
Matt nodded to show that he understood and he and Gabumon walked home. Akira then told Renji that he was heading back to the house and left.
"Did you mean it?" Renji asked.
"What?" Mimi said in disbelief, "Of course I meant it, I risked my life to protect you and you have the gall to ask me that."
They looked at each other straight in the eye and started to move towards each other until they enveloped themselves in a kiss.
At the house
Akira walked inside the house and found Tai walking towards him.
"Hey Akira, I need your help with something," Tai said.
"Well then," Akira said, "What's the problem."
"Well," Tai began, "I had this weird vision about a white castle and a burning village. Do you know what it means?"
Akira was then dead silent when Tai said that.
"Akira are you okay?" Tai asked.
Akira answered, "Yes I'm fine. I'll tell you what your vision means later."
With Tai satisfied with his answer he walked upstairs to his room leaving a shocked Akira.
'No, it couldn't be,' he thought, 'That's impossible.'
It looks like Renji and Mimi are now a couple, and what does Akira know about Tai's vision. Find out next chapter. Send reviews.
Peace out.
