~ o ~ o ~
Sub-Chapter Title - Chapter 10 : "RDvm's Past – The Ultimate Revelation!"
RDvm: * Huff, huff, huff… *
Hikari: RDvm, are you okay?
RDvm: H-hai… Just a little hurt by my wounds… Nngh…
Hikari: I'll get some herbal medicine to treat your wounds. Just wait here!
RDvm: But, Hikari!
"Whoosh!" The wind blew hard, as if something passed nearby…
Hikari: Nani-
RDvm: [covering Hikari's mouth] Duskmon is finding us. We should be quiet & stay alert to his presence…
Duskmon: Don't you pests hide from me, or else… HRRAH! [slashes the tree beside him] …I think they're not here… Hm!
Hikari: He's gone… Now, I should get medicine for you!
RDvm: But… A-alright. Arigato… Hikari-chan. I really appreciate your concern.
~Later…~
RDvm: N-ngh… AAH!
Hikari: Oh, sorry, sorry! It may hurt, but you'll be better in no time! Now, take it easy… there!
RDvm: [holds bandaged wound] Thanks again… I felt better because… I also felt your caring attitude to me. Instead of feeling pain, you've let me feel soothing & relieved…
Hikari: You're welcome! Oh, it's too late in evening. We're too tired, so we better sleep now… But I don't know if I'm going to sleep well this night…
RDvm: Huh? Why did you say so?
Hikari: Because… Takeru-kun… He's gone…
RDvm: "Gone"? That's not you, Hikari-chan… You always think that you could find him, no matter what happens… Just believe! Have faith in him! And I'm sure… He'll believe in you too. Trust me. And you know what, I really don't know my purpose in this world, until I came across you. It made me feel like I belong to the others…
Hikari: R-really…?
RDvm: Yeah! Now, I still don't have the answer to what my purpose is, but the longer I'm with you, the more I realize. But still… I really don't know why I'm here. But I'll continue to move on & never give up! That's why you should be happy, because having friends at your side is a very valuable thing! You also have a very good friend; Takeru.
Hikari: Takeru-kun… Yes, he is my best friend…
RDvm: You're also a great friend, Hikari-chan! That's why everyone likes you! And Takeru's a very lucky guy: he got a best friend like you, and honestly… The two of you are one of a kind!
Hikari: RageDevimon… Thank you. You're really like him… I sincerely thank you for that… Well, let's go back to sleep. Good night, RDvm!
RDvm: Sleep tight… Don't forget, all of your friends really love you…
Hikari: Yeah… Zzz…
RDvm: I should guard her the whole night. Duskmon will be surely around here…
That night was a very cold night. Hikari was shivering, but RageDevimon was resistant to the cold, due to wearing several armor on his body… He was hesitating to do anything, but…
RDvm: Oh… She's feeling really cold now. What should I do next? I don't know what to do…
?: Then make her feel warm.
RDvm: That voice… Our guardian?
?: Yes, it's me.
RDvm: (But, aren't you Takeru? Or Kibou?)
?: Yep. I'm Takaishi Takeru! Don't you remember me? I'm the friendly voice you always talk to in your head!
RDvm: (…Kibou? That's your real appearance? You're Takeru all this time?)
Takeru: Yes…I'm sorry if I didn't say it to you in an earlier time… But, RDvm, I leave my duty to you… Please treat Hikari as how I did…
RDvm: (Do what? Please, talk to me! I need to ask something to you! Takeru!)
Kibou, or Takeru's spirit, vanished into thin air. Finally, RageDevimon had an idea of what he had to do, but he always hesitated to do it.
RDvm: (Do I really have to do this?)
Takeru: Of course you do! Now, go! There's nothing wrong in doing it!
RDvm: Demo-! Oh well… here goes nothing!
Even if he didn't tend or even like to do it, RDvm did what he was told to hugged Hikari tightly, making sure that she feels good the whole night.
RDvm: If she's one of my true friends… I'll do this for her! I hope you're really okay, Hikari-chan… (Thanks to you, Kibou, or I should say, Takeru.)
Suddenly, a shady figure was walking towards them. Good thing RageDevimon saw it…
RDvm: Hey! Who are you? What do you need from us?
?: Me? I'm Baronmon.
RDvm: Baron…mon? I heard that you could predict the future & tell what happened in the past…
Baronmon: Yes, you are truly correct. I also heard that you have a forgotten past. If you want, I'll tell you all you want to know.
RDvm: Really? Could you please tell my past? My memories are kinda blurry…
Baronmon: Okay, I could say it to you indeed. But you need to keep this as a secret. Kerpymon forbid me to tell anything to you… But I pity you, as they all discriminate you.
RDvm: Hikari should be out of this… I think we should move away from her.
S.A (as a Spirit in Hikari's D-3): RageDevimon! Please get Hikari's D-3! So that I can listen to you, and for you to watch over me… Someone might get this D-3 & steal me again…
RDvm: [gets the D-3] Okay then, who is Takeru to me, really? Why do I have to be related to all of these? And, Hikari… Who are the "Takeru" & "Hikari" I've been thinking all about? Are they the ones I know?
Baronmon: Let me explain everything briefly… Back then, you were in a special group of children, called the "Chosen Children".
RDvm: WHAT? "Chosen Children"? Do you mean I'm human back then?
Baronmon: As what you are thinking, yes, it's correct. In that group, you had a friend of your age… You were always together; inseparable. You also had a partner Digimon, a Patamon… One day, you were searching for a specific thing that I can't identify, but I know it's important. Soon, You became desperate to get it. Then all of a sudden, you got caught in an accident.
RDvm: Accident…? (Wait… It seems that Duskmon & Hikari's stories are similar… Like how Duskmon became into the warrior of Darkness… He was caught in an accident, too… Hikari said that Takeru disappeared when an accident occurred!)
Baronmon: You miraculously didn't get hurt, but you also vanished into thin air. That is the time when your time is almost finished, until Kerpymon got your body right before an object collides with you, causing you death if it really happened. Kerpymon saved you because your heart had despair that can be used by the Digi-Spirit of Despair, and that Digimon is you, RageDevimon. What Kerpymon did is that he separated your physical body & your spirit, and that spirit is in the form of you now.
S.A: So… he is alive, but only in a different form & body…
Baronmon: He erased all your memories. He did that so you wouldn't able to know anything that you wish to protect, and only know the evil plans Kerpymon wishes you to do. He knew that you would refuse to follow him because he was evil. So, he also did that so you won't know what's right & wrong… But things went into the wrong way. Your destiny changed when you met that girl over there.
S.A: Hikari?
Baronmon: Yes, my friend. And you know what, while you're in that form, and while you team up with Hikari & the Spirit of Light, SereneAngewomon, your best friend was finding you. She, yes, she is a girl, was loyally still finding you until now.
RDvm: I should find her too…
Baronmon: But, your physical body… I don't know where Kerpymon hid it. I'm very sorry… But I know that your spirit is still of the human you were before.
RDvm: (It couldn't be the body in that room! It's Takeru's body. It can't be mine!)
Baronmon: Oh, and the "Hikari" you're talking about… You might be surprised but…
S.A: I think I know what you'll say, Baronmon… I hope I'm right…
Baronmon: Well… That "Hikari"… that was the name of your best friend back as a human. To be more informative, she is Yagami Hikari, child of the Crest of Light!
S.A: It is true! So… RageDevimon may be…!
RDvm: NANI? Does that mean… Hikari-chan's my friend since then? What about Takeru?
Baronmon: Takeru… He has a very big relation to you. A very BIG one.
RDvm: I-is he my friend?
Baronmon: Nope.
S.A: Relative?
Baronmon: Higher than that.
RDvm: My… brother?
Baronmon: Think of the greatest of all! He's very important to you… he & you… you are…
RDvm & S.A: [nervously] W-what…?
Baronmon: You are of one mind, body & soul, RageDevimon. You ARE TAKAISHI TAKERU! You are the Child of Hope, only in the form of the Warrior of Despair, RageDevimon.
S.A: RageDevimon! I can't believe it! All of what I expect to hear is the ones I've heard…
RDvm: [stunned] I am… Takeru? But, our guardian, Kibou… I…
Kibou (Takeru): RDvm… I am you in a way… But, you don't remember anything from the past… So I tried my best just to make you remember all of your memories… You are just like S.A, I tell you. And I'm your chosen one! Now, good luck!
Hikari: Wha… What are you talking about…?
RDvm: Oh, it's nothing!
S.A: We… we were planning of a defense against Duskmon! So, go back to sleep & rest… Ehehehe…
Hikari: If you say so…
RDvm: (How will I say all of this to Hikari? She… She might get mad at me… Because she finds me for many days, and she'll only discover that I'm Takeru… She might get disappointed to see me, because I think it's too late for it now…)
Baronmon: Well, I should get going. Takeru, Child of Hope, I hope you do well.
RDvm: Thank you, Baronmon… I should think about this… And Hikari's still shivering! Don't worry, I am Takeru… I'll be watching over you the whole night… Here, wear this…
And so, RageDevimon, or Takeru in the form of the Spirit of Despair, removed some of his armor so that Hikari could wear it for additional warmth over the cold night.
S.A: RageDevimon… Could you keep a promise for me?
RDvm: Sure, what is it?
S.A: Since you know that Takeru is just in the form of you, and his spirit is trapped in your body, eventually he'll get his physical body back, and he will return back to the Real World with Hikari. So… I won't be able to come with Hikari, even though she's my partner… I had to guard the Digital World from danger, and to retain peace. Actually… I am not strong as before, because my true power will only be unleashed if I'm with F.A… So, could you work with me while finding F.A, too?
RDvm: Sure thing! I hope we could find F.A!
S.A: I hope I won't bother you… I thank you for your help. Please, promise me this too… After Kerpymon's evil reign ends, let's work together, along with F.A! And let's witness how the Digi-World comes at peace!
RDvm: Okay, I'll promise that!
S.A: Thank you so much… I really needed F.A's aid in all times… I hope we can be close friends from now on!
Meanwhile, the others are still finding Hikari, and as they thought that RageDevimon had bad intentions about Hikari, they all hated him.
J.P: That good-for-nothing Digimon! First, he was so friendly to us, and now he turns out to be the bad guy!
Takuya: Yeah, and after he helped me, he'd just treated us like this!
Tommy: Totally unfair to us & Hikari-neesan!
Zoe: What could've happened to them now?
Kouji: I… dunno. But we should make it fast to get to them, before it's too late!
They didn't know that Duskmon was just around, hiding from the team…
Duskmon: Idiots. Trying to find him too will let me make this thing easier. And, thanks to Master Kerpymon… Slide Evolution! Velgemon!
… I had my beast spirit… and a new power that could make me invincible…
It was revealed that RageDevimon was Takeru all along. Or to be more precise, Takeru was trapped in the form of the Digi-Spirit of Despair, RageDevimon… How will he say this truth to Hikari? And how will Hikari handle this truth? The Chosen Children are blinded by a lie, as they believe RDvm is evil, and they think Hikari is not in good hands when with him… Duskmon now also had a Beast Spirit, thanks to Kerpymon… And another power that makes him invincible. Witness the clash of Duskmon & the Chosen Children, including RDvm & Hikari in the 11th chapter,
"Confrontation! The Battle of Faith" !
RageDevimon! Don't give up! Everyone needs you! And now that we know you're Takeru, we know that you're truly part of the good guys!
By the way, the original chapter in my Notebook, Chapter 5, is the last chapter of the story! Aww… =(
But you know what to expect: More challenging scenes, more dramatic scenes and many more… I hope you enjoyed the 3 climax chapters! (But I think there are still climax chapters to come…)
Oh, and you could take a look in my profile to see my Drawings! (even RDvm, F.A. & S.A. are there! YAY!)
Well then, See you on the next chapter! =D
