A/N: Welcome back to the Realm of the Black knight, okay, I'm really getting annoyed by the author's notes that I'm putting up, so all of you know that I don't own digimon or final fantasy, or any of the characters or songs mentioned in this fic (unless proven otherwise). Therefore, I won't have to waste your time with these author's notes. Ok so, enjoy….
Chapter 11: Slight Interlude.
The beautiful Hawaiin sun shone brightly through the windows of the shuttle. The calming green landscape seemed to reflect the Tamer's resting forms. It was a very peaceful time for the group. Takato was looking at Rika with a small smile plotted on his face. Rika was reclining in her seat and looking at the ceiling. She was reflecting on the times in the ship. Though the chaos and strange moments ensued, those were moments she would never forget. She got her digimon back, got a boyfriend, drank alcohol, befriended Ryo (again), and got a closer relationship to her mother. This truly was one of the best times in her life. Guilmon, though bread still circled in his mind, was wondering about Renamon. She seemed to be looking at, well, him. He was looking away trying to act as if he didn't notice, but those aqua blue eyes were hard to miss. He truly did love the beautiful kitsune. Her calm demeanor always helped him get through difficult times. She had years of wisdom under her belt, which is why Guilmon pretty much declared that he trusted her input, and would always take her side. Her figure was easy on the eyes, therefore sealing the deal for Guilmon. Renamon, on the other hand, had more complicated emotions. She was looking at the saurian with an intense stare. He was so immature, yet strong. He could see things with such simplicity, never thinking more into something than he had to. His maturity changes along with his digivolutions, which is what truly fascinates Renamon. Usually digimon get so obsessed with their own power that they seem to lose their conscience and act more on instinct. Guilmon, on the other hand, actually matured and shared the thoughts of his tamer. His loyalty to his tamer was astounding. Guilmon always seemed to know the right thing to do, yet he followed her. Unknown to him, Renamon's ideas were usually just reflections of his suggestions. Out of all the digimon she had seen in both worlds, Guilmon was the only one she had loved. So now she felt the warm heat of the sun through the window, the calm of the grasslands, and the peace of being with a loved one.
Things weren't so happy for Cloud and co. though. They were stranded on a plane of grasslands that reached the horizon. It would have actually been quite beautiful had it not been 95 degrees outside and you were carrying all your luggage, not pulling, carrying.
"Damnit, why do we have to be the ones walking?" Cid was starting to get pissed off. Both from the heat, and the loss of his cigarettes," The damn kids have to be the ones who get on the shuttle. Back where I came from, the adults were supposed to be the ones riding in luxury. The kids had to walk, and work."
"Uh huh. Well our world was so small there were only like ten kids. Not to mention the fact that us riding on chocobos wouldn't really count as luxurious. The only reason we rode them was so we wouldn't have to fight in random battles. And I had to do all the running. Where were the rest of you whenever I was on the world map huh? Yeah, you were all in ME!!! So stop complaining. It could be worse, I mean, there could be random battles here…."
Screen shatters to reveal completely random section of grasslands. Those Who Fight starts playing in background. Cloud, Cid, and Nanaki show up to fight a giant bee.
Cid: You were saying?
Nanaki: Why do I always have to get stuck with you two?
Cloud: You know what, I'm really starting to get pissed off.
LIMIT BREAK: Omnislash.
Cloud goes berserk and lashes the killer bee 20 times.
Cloud: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Nanaki: I think he's finally gone insane.
Cid: Remind me to never taunt him again."
////////You earned 500 gil\\\\
"Thanks Cloud, we finally got some money!"
"Incorrect. This planet uses coins and dollars, not gil."
"So what you're trying to say is that we're broke."
"Yup."
"At least we still got all our stu-- HEY!!!" Two homeless people were currently running with luggage
"Ugh! I hope the Tamers are faring better than us."
With the Tamers
The shuttle had barely entered the parking lot of the Wikaloa Hilton, and was currently maneuvering around some beautiful fountains shaped as seahorses, and many other aquatic animals. The hotel seemed to be large, and was actually split into three parts, A, B, and C. (They have actual names, but I forgot them. It's been a while since I've actually been to Hawaii.) This was a really prestige hotel, and being a Hilton, could only be elegant and unaffordable. However, if you saved the world from both the D-Reaper and a horde of parasite digimon, the government could spare a few bucks to send you to a nice hotel in Hawaii, at least.
"Is it just me, or does this whole place smell like fish?"
"TERRIERMON!"
"What? I was just stating the obvious. Remember my contract." Terrerimon let out a slight giggle, as he saw Henry start to lunge out of his seat. The giggle turned into a cry of pain as Henry wrapped his hands around Terriermon's slender neck. He was quickly running out of air, and looked to Renamon for help. She seemed too preoccupied with…giving Guilmon a rose? Now that was weird. Wait why was his world going black again, oh yeah, Henry was choking him. Death by Partner, wouldn't that be ironic. Hey, why wasn't anyone doing anything? Doesn't the contract say something about me not being killed, or hurt.
Actually it just says that Takato's liable for any injuries, as for death, that was actually in there.
Oh, thanks disembodied voice!
No Prob
Hey, could you write Henry getting his claws off ME!!!!
Naaa, this is funny to watch.
Damn you evil author.
That's what she said.
What does that mean?
Ummm, I'll just keep writing the story.
Henry finally let go of Terriermon when the shuttle came to a 'not-so-abrupt stop' as the driver had said. Well, it was abrupt enough to throw Takato, Rika, Henry, and Juri out of the front windshield (note that they were sitting near the back of the shuttle). The sound of shattering glass hitting the ground along with four very loud "THUD" s disturbed the would be peace of the area. This alerted the people who were currently stationed as Valet worksmen.
"Like zoinks Scoob, what was that sound?" (guess, just guess.)
"I dun know," Shaggy and Scooby (he's just gonna speak ordinary English, cause I don't think many people will understand what Scooby is saying otherwise.) were wearing these weird red vests that they had found in the hotel. Fred had told them to stay outside and look pretty. Yes, in those exact words. Velma was trying to see if she could find this mysterious "Dragon Beast" that people have reported seeing. Daphne was with Fred, scouting the hotel to see if there were any "Dragon-like" organisms that might have scared the tourists. Scooby was both curious and afraid to see what the noise was.
"Like, what if the noise was the dragon creepo?" Shaggy inclined giving a slight shiver.
"I'm scared."
"I know Scoob, but I think we gotta check it out."
"O-okay…"
The two detectives made their way towards the tram, which had crashed into a statue of a seahorse. The driver must have been blind, or stoned, or drunk, or…something. How do you crash into a twelve foot statue of a seahorse? I mean, really. Okay, so Shaggy and Scooby proceeded to see who, or what was inside the car that crashed. They felt somewhat idiotic for thinking that there would be a monster in the car, they really shouldn't have.
"Man are you okay?" Scooby asked the nearest kid, which had blue goggles.
"Ugh, I think I'm okay. Hey, I'm not liable for any injuries caused because of someone else am I?"
"I don't think so." Rika answered for him.
"Well good, because that shit really hurt!"
"Like yeah, we heard you guys fall from all the way at the entrance man." Shaggy finally entered the conversation hoping to get to know some more people in this area.
"Wow, what's up with our driver? He crashed into a twelve foot statue of a seahorse. How in the hell do you do that?"
"Oh, sorry 'bout that lad. Never operated one of ees, "car" thingies."
"JACK SPARROW!!!!"
"Sorry lads, gotta leace ye here. Davy Jones be callin' meh." Jack Sparrow proceeds to run towards the weird disembodied voice that had called him. This is definitely going to be one weird stay here.
"Soooooooo, who are you guys?" Shaggy tried to break the ice.
"We're the digimon tamers. Our digimon and us are on vacation! Finally. I mean, we saved the world three times and we haven't done anything relaxing." Juri did the happy reply this time. Poor girl hasn't talked much during the whole fic.
"Digimon? Like that T.V. show?"
"Yup."
"Th-th-then where are your l-l-like d-digimon?" Shaggy was starting to feel worried that real Digimon were terrorizing this place. That would probably explain the dragon-like creature, monster, thing.
"They're in the shuttle, still."
"Takatomon, are you okay?"
"AAAAHHHHHHH a lizard monster!!!!!"
"Wow," Takato admired the speed at which the man and dog had ran," not even Renamon can run that fast, or scream that loud!"
"Hey."
"No offense."
"Well," Rika said, brushing herself off," I think we should check in with the front desk and get our rooms. It's starting to get dark over here."
"Dark?" Ryo walked out, scanning the horizon," Aren't we supposed to go see a fire dancer tonight?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, your mom scheduled for a Hula party once it got dark. I'm guessing we were supposed to arrive here earlier since it's already getting dark. I just don't know what time it is. Rumi-- wait. Rika, where's your mom, and Cyberdramon for that matter?"
/////at a nearby shopping mall….\\\
"Cyberdramon, honey, do you think these look good on me?"
"Ummm. Yeah they look great!"
/////back with the tamers….\\\
"I have no idea."
"So you're saying we left my mom behind?"
"I'm guessing so."
"No prob."
Renamon was only slightly interested at what was happening outside. She really wanted something to drink. Wait, didn't Rika's mom say something about a Luau or something going on? It was already getting dark, shouldn't they be there? Ugh, this was going to get annoying. Where's Guilmon? Oh, by his tamer.
"Guilmon," Renamon said in her sweet voice. She came out of the shuttle, strutting down the steps with the utmost of ease and gaining the digimon's attention," aren't we supposed to be somewhere?"
"Well, Ryo said that we were supposed to watch someone dance with fire. I hope they don't get burnt!"
"Don't worry Guilmon, he meant a fire dancer. They're trained for doing those kinds of things."
"I still hope he doesn't get burnt. I remember the last time I played with fire."
"Wait, isn't your main attack a big sphere of it?"
"Yeah, so?"
"How could you have a bad experience with it if you should have harnessed it? Not to mention you produce it within your body ."
"Well, I put my hand in the oven once and got it stuck with the fire. I got burnt right after. I actually still have it, here look at it."
Guilmon stretched his paw out to Renamon and she examined it carefully. Upon further inspection, "Guilmon, how in the hell did a fire-type dragon burn themselves?"
"Said fire-type dragon, umm, told you."
"Okaaaay," Takato was somewhat confused," Shouldn't we be checking in at the hotel?"
"That's exactly what we should be doing!"
"Then let's do it, we've already taken up five pages of being in one spot."
The tamers walked towards the entrance to the hotel. They were greeted by marble floors and a glass door that Henry had bumped into, before pushing it open. The inside of the hotel was something completely different. You would have thought you were in a forest, due to the beautiful and lush trees that were in the center floor. Strange Hawaiian looking statues were hidden among the greenery which gave the place a much more inviting feeling. There was a very inviting feeling about the whole place. It seemed to be very large, and had many open spaces. This gave it an inviting and friendly feeling, that was why it was so famous. The group strolled up to the front desk, and were surprised at what they saw.
"Hello, and welcome to the Wikaloa Hilton. How may I help you?"
The lady who spoke happened to have flowing red hair that stopped halfway down her back. She was beautifully dressed in a white button-up dress shirt, and a caramel skirt that went to her knees. The man beside her wore matching attire, with caramel slacks of course, and had an ascot around his neck instead of a tie.
"Umm. We would like to know when the Luau is being held, and where please."
"Ohh the Luau. Fred, when and where does the Luau start?"
"I believe it starts in just around four minutes, and it's located right in front of B section."
"Okay, thanks. Umm, how do we get to B section?"
"Well, you guys can take the boat or tram. It's up to you really."
Rika spun around and thoroughly explained what had been told to her.
"Okay guys. We go and take that train to wherever it goes and that's where it should be!" Like I said, 'thoroughly'.
"umm," Henry was trying to compensate what Rika had said," I guess, we should just do that. It's better than sitting around here anyway."
"Man, the author's really running out of ideas, I hope we get through this soon before he works on the other story again."
"Yeah, let's hurry up, we need to get to the Luau in 4 minutes."
With Terriermon's final comment, the tamers turned tail, and walked towards the train station. They at least hoped it was the train station, a boat that didn't ride on water would kind of defeat the purpose, no? Whatever, they walked towards the station thingy and waited for the train to come up. Ironically, at the same time that the tamers stepped on the different colored tile, the train showed up at lightning speed that could have surpassed that of the speed of light, or Guilmon when he smelled bread.
"Well, that solves a lot of problems."
"Yeah, thank god for FanFic magic."
"Hey, wait. If the train traveled this fast, then we would be killed by the G-forces."
"Don't worry Henry, this is a fanfic remember, the author wouldn't just kill us off. He still needs to write the rest of the story."
"Well, why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like this?"
"Because you didn't get a contract, and therefore are not assured medical assistance if needed."
"Oh, okay thanks. Let's just go."
"Whoopie!"
Rika with her oh so enthusiastic attitude boarded the train without looking. From the second that Rika took that step into the train, she noticed that it was much softer than it should have been.
"What was that for!" came a familiar voice (at least to Guilmon and Renamon).
"Nanaki?" Renamon called out, wondering how they had gotten here before them. She had seen him and his acquaintances be left behind at the station.
"Oh, it's you guys, please come in."
"How did you get here before us?"
"Well, some guy riding on a chocobo gave us a lift here."
"You were choking a hobo?"
"No, I wasn't. That was Cloud over there."
Screen points to Cloud who is currently eating noodles.
"Why's everyone looking at me?" he said in between slurps.
Screen switches back to Nanaki
"He has some issues to deal with. Hobos killed his parents….and raped his sister."
"…." Cloud tried to compose himself…but he failed, "WHAT THE #$# DO YOU MEAN. MY PARENTS DIED NATURALLY AND I DON'T HAVE A SISTER…..THAT I KNOW OF!!!!"
"Geesh," Nanaki was currently examining the protruding vein on Cloud's forehead he could have used more cussing, but then again, that's Cid's job
Better not be thinking about me #$.
What the, how did you get into my thoughts?
I'm telepathic of course. Either that or YOUR THINKING OUT LOUD #$$$#4#$!!!!
"O…kay….let's just get out of here." Takato really just wanted to get to the luau, and hearing that Cloud's sister was raped by a hobo got him really uncomfortable." Let's just get the hell out of here before we all go insane." Exactly at the moment when Takato said 'ane', the doors slammed shut behind him and a sign that read "Hold on to Your Butts" flashed over and over. That could have been a signal for something, however, no one paid heed to it. At least not until the train launched from 0-90 in 0.5 seconds. Though they should have died from the G-forces or the incredible amount of whiplash they got once they stopped, this is a cartoon, and therefore, can live under any conditions that the animator/author finds funny. It's in the contract, didn't you get one? Okay, back to why the train stopped, apparently they had reached their destination. If the huge stage with girls in hula skirts wasn't' enough, then I don't know what is.
"Oh God, my…stomach….it's comin' out." Terriermon wasn't very happy about this latest occurrence and neither was his stomach. I should have never signed that contract. Wait….Momentai.
"Well," Ryo shook his head a little bit, and was fine," I guess we're here, might as well take in the scenery and get some drinks while we can."
"Yeah….we should." Takato still panting from having his organs fly outside his body and come back in. He really needed a beer..um..soda. So as they walked off the train platform, the tamers and digimon all went towards the booth where a Devimon seemed to be serving drinks with Gatomon by mixing the martinis.
"Hello could I take your order. Or give you a barf bag," The Devimon happily and cheerfully greeted the tamers. The funny thing was that he had a real, genuine, smile. Not a smirk, a smile. The fact that he had a white apron that said 'hang loose' on it was also somewhat strange.
"Yeah," Takato was the first to order," I'll have a virgin Mai Tai please."
"Coming right up," The Gatomon responded, taking out various fruits and bottles that she needed to make the drink.
"Ummm…well, I'll take the Blue Hawaii, virgin." Rika almost forgot to add that last part.
"Yeah, I'll take the virgin Mai Tai, like Takato's."
"I guess I'll just have to agree with Henry on this one," Ryo really didn't care what drink he would be handed, as long as it didn't have any alcohol in it. The Gatomon had just finished pouring Takato's Mai Tai and poured another for Ryo.
"Hey guys," Guilmon called over," the Luau's starting hurry!"
