- Hi there ! Here is your new installment of Digitals Angels. Well, I took my time writing this one, but Here it is...
- Shouldn't you apologize for being late ?
- Fear-chan, I said it before. This is gonna get irregular, but I will never stop writing it.
- Yeah, yeah. And you recently watched Yu-gi-oh Duel Monsters and thought about adding Kisara to this story, before realising it wasn't possible ?
- Fear... You know, someday, you're gonna have a battle scene ? Don't make me want to injure you in the process, got it ?
- Curse you !
- Love you too, Fear-chan.
After what had transpired with the mysterious Chosen Child of Darkness, it has been decided they should speed out the process of looking for the Crests. Taichi, Jyou and Daisuke were looking somewhere in Folder Island. All of the others were looking for their Crests on Server Continent, but they had stayed on Folder. It was surely bigger than File Island, but they hadn't had much luck.
Another thing that has been decided was that Koichi was now accompanying the Children, and not Takuya, as originally planned.
They were now in a corner of the island, looking for clues on where Jyou and Daisuke's Crest could be… They didn't have much luck, and don't count on the Digimon living there to help. Most of them didn't have a single clue.
Jyou Kido
That's no good. We are getting nowhere. All we were doing was roaming the island. That meant not much. In fact, we were still going nowhere. That was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
After a while, I asked :
- "Why aren't we looking on Server Continent again ?"
- "Takuya said it wasn't safe with Etemonkey and his Dark Network spread in the desert. We are not looking here until we have a way to get rid of that ape, who won't show his butt, because he doesn't want us Warriors to kick it. The Warping Sphinx can get us to the pyramid where Nanomon is, but we are questionning the safety of asking him."
- "Why is that ?"
- "Nanomon has connected himself to Etemonkey's Dark Network. There, he has a lot of information, on a lot of things that could help us. But Tomoki, who met Nanomon, back when we were looking for our Beast Spirits, is supporting my brother's theory. He said Nanomon might have overheated and possibly went crazy."
- "Then, what's the problem ? If he's crazy, we go, we kick his butt, and that's it !"
As you can guess, that reply came from Daisuke
- "And there is the problem of…" Koichi paused "The Child of Darkness. Potentially the daughter of Kanashimi Higorashi".
- "She was supposed to be one of us, wasn't she ?"
- "Yep. Kura disappeared last year, when her parents had a car accident. She was nowhere to be found after it. It looks like she ended up here. Now my question is… why didn't we detect her before ? Why… THAT DOES IT !"
- "What's the deal, Koichi-senpai ?"
- "I'm going to Gankoomon's place. This is not the one place we haven't checked yet. In all fairness, I did everything I can to avoid going there. But I've too much questions now, all related to Kanashimi & Kurayami."
- "We're going too."
- "That's none of your business, Chosen Children. Besides, Gankoomon is an Ultimate. Should a fight break out, i'll be the only one able to fight him."
- "But there could be a Crest somewhere down there as well."
- "Do you think Gankoomon would have hidden such an information ?!"
- "If he found it after the accident, then yes, I think so !"
- "Actually, that's probably the most clever thing to ever come to your mouth, Motomiya Daisuke. You win, we're going."
Daisuke Motomiya .
Ain't gonna say I wasn't surprised to see Koichi-san agreeing with me. That would be lying. Anyway, we went into quite the treck to reach where that Gankoomon guy was. Mostly because none of us have really swift forms. ExVeedramon can fly, Same for Rhihimon, but that's about it.
The volcano was located near the easternmost part of the island. It actually took a good chunk of place.
We stopped at the bottom of the island. Koichi was looking at a small Digimon, It was walking on all fours, and glaring at us. It had with fur, and a red cape. My Digivice identified it as Huckmon, Rookie Level Mini Dragon-type Digimon,
- "What do you want, humans ?" he spat
- "Huckmon, we're looking for Gankoomon. We have questions for him."
- "Go away. Ever since my master's partner is gone, he has not been the same. Unless a Royal Knight can bring him a proof that his partner is still alive and well, he won't answer anything. He received the message from Alphamon."
- "Actually, they can give us further details. Go back to your training, Huckmon"
We lifted our heads. Gankoomon was standing atop of a tree chunk. He was a tall, muscular, almost human like Digimon, save for the visor hiding his eyes, and his crimson red hair. He was wearing a jacket over his shoulder, kind of like BanchouLeomon had. Actually he had the same behaviour, more laid back, down to earth than say… LordKnightmon, or Dukemon.
- "Gankoomon…"
- "So, what can you tell me, Warrior of Darkness ? You know what I want to hear, I assume ?"
- "You want to know the whereabouts of your partner, Kanashimi Higorashi ?"
- "Among other things. The message I received from Alphamon wasn't very detailed, you know. It was straightforwardly saying "Go to Holy Angel Castle, we need to gather"
We exchanged looks. Koichi stepped forward.
- "What did you felt, three digital years ago ?"
- "My link with Kanashimi broke. I've been feeling some dark energy, unrelated to the Crest of Darkness, or to you, Koichi Kimura."
- "Can you put a name of it ?"
- "Yeah. The Demon Lord of Lust. The Goddess of Darkness. Lilithmon."
That name sent chills down my spine, and I'm sure down the others as well. Lilithmon had been beaten pretty badly during the war, by Gankoomon himself. She had sworn revenge upon Ms Higorashi, and supposedly, sworn to "make her life, and those of everyone she holds dear a living hell"
- "Lilithmon had a beef with her. That would explain part of the riddle then."
- "A riddle ? What do you mean, Warrior ?"
- "Currently, there is a girl we can't identify fighting against us. Apparently she has a "master" and his objectives are to have us lose to the Demon Lords."
- "I don't see why it should concern me."
- "My brother Koji has said she smelled like Kanashimi did. Problem is, we know something for a fact : That's not Kanashimi.
- "How can you be sure ?"
- "That's the bad news. I don't want you to fight us or anything, so I was wondering if I should tell you."
- "You know what happened to my partner, do you ? Kanashimi was the one thing, other than this world I swore to protect. We made an oath, back then. Whatever happens, even if we were to be separated for thousands of years, we swore we would do everything to protect each other, and I swore on my life I would protect Kanashimi, and should she found a family, I'll protect them as well."
That's how much this guy wanted to protect her… Man, that's touching
- "Sorry to break the news to you, big guy" I said. "But your partner is dead. A car accident, last year."
Gankoomon glared at me. I couldn't see his eyes because of the visor, but if I could, I would swear he was looking at me with pure hatred.
- "Lilithmon is responsible for it. I don't know how, but she managed to kill my partner. But my oath is not broken. What about her family ? Her husband ? Her daughter ?"
- "Her husband died as well. But Kura… She disappeared, and we think she is alive. We think she is the girl that has been popping up, not involving herself in fights, but she is on their side."
- "Kura… You mean Kanashimi's daughter ? Why would she do that ?!"
- "That's what we are trying to know. And we're looking for the Chosen Children's Crests. I have Humility, Faith and Courage tagging along with me."
Gankoomon turned to us.
- "Faith, Humility. I know where your Crests lie. I am going to bring you there. HUCKMON ! Come here with our guest !"
Their guest ? We waited a couple of minutes, then Huckmon came back with… a human boy ? He was blond, almost looking like Michael.
- "What's the deal, Master Gankoomon ?"
- "Wallace, we're leaving for the ruins, atop of the volcano, Do you have your key ?"
- "Always, Master !"
- "Bring it"
After a couple of minutes, we went for those ruins, atop of the volcano. Effectively, there was a small temple.
- "Lilithmon-sama ?
- "What is it ?"
- "Gankoomon is moving. What should we do ?"
- "Nothing."
- "But…"
- "Enough, Etemonkey. Unless I order you, you are NOT to leave this place, honey. We already have our pawns moving to here."
- "Who, may I ask, Lilithmon-sama ?"
- "Megadramon. Gigadramon. And the two humans"
- "What, there's TWO of them ? You… you know they can reproduce, right ?"
- "Of course I do. I am the Goddess of Lust, you idiot. I know how those things work. And actually… I've already played with the Child of Darkness that way. If it wasn't for our master, I would play a LOT more with her."
Lilithmon started to maniacally laugh. Etemonkey felt a chill running down his spine. If he wanted his plan to go accordingly, he should be careful.
- Allow me to take my leave, Lilithmon-sama.
- "You're dismissed, Etemonkey. Just make sure not to go on the way. Go back to spying Nanomon. Your Dark Network is good for that."
- "Of course. Nanomon won't leave his damn pyramid, unless you make him, I fear."
- "If he wants to stall for time, then leave him be. We'll take care of him when timing is right. "
- "Roger that"
Gankoomon
It has really been a while since I had seen anyone, aside for Wallace, Huckmon and the Sistermon, that is. You might be wondering why, me, of all mons, has decided to stay here for so long.
It is pretty well documented I am a wandering mon, the only one of the Holy Knights, actually. I don't like to stay at one place. But this volcano is… particular. The reason why I decided to stay here.
- "Kimura Koichi, you might be wondering why I decided to stay here…"
- "To put it boldly, your behaviour pattern data suggest you're the wandering type. Yet, you've decided to stay here, for the last three years. I don't think you're the type to grieve the loss of someone for this long, even your own partner. What are you doing here ?"
- "I would have answered that is none of your business… if it was not precisely your business. I discovered where one of the Crests is hidden. Actually, there's two of them."
- "And you're bringing us there ?"
- "Yes. Last time I went there, it was guarded by a Gokuwmon. I decided to stay around after sensing Lilithmon's aura around Kana's place.
- "Hmm, by "Kana", you mean Kura's mother ?"
- "Exactly. I know what you are to them, Koichi Kimura. But if you wish to keep it a secret, I'll keep it for now."
- "Thanks."
I lead them to the temple, where a Crest was engraved. From what I know, it is Faith. The slab disappeared into what I knew to be a Tag, worn by one kid with dark blue hair, partnered with a Gomamon. As we were about to enter, I turned around to see Gokuwmon standing in front of us… but something was off.
- "Something seems to trouble you, Gokuwmon." I said.
- "Why did you bring those pests here, Gankoomon ? Sanzomon-sama said I must guard this place until the rightful bearer of those come, at least, that's what this mon told me."
- "Another mon came here ? Who ? Answer, Gokuwmon !" asked the Warrior of Darkness
- "None of your business, human. You may hold the power of AncientSphinxmon, but you have no authority on me. I only answer to myself… and Sanzomon."
Something is weird. Gokuwmon is generally a loyal Digimon, but he would answer to the Warrior's pleas. Something is definitely weird
- "Answer him, Gokuwmon"
- "I have nothing to tell you. You can be a Royal Knight, I don't care."
Something is wrong. Generally; Gokuwmon are loyal to Sanzomon, who in turn is loyal to Yggdrasil… somehow. I mean, Sanzomon has been bestowed the possibility to restrain Digimon with the Kinkoji, which she generally gives to violent Digimon drawn to her, by Yggdrasil
- "I highly suggest you to stay back, Chosen Children. Warrior of Darkness, it looks like it's up to us."
- "Don't think you can pass me that easy, Knight."
Koichi Kimura
I wonder what happened. Gokuwmon are generally peaceful, despite being Combat-species Digimon, and respectful.
When I was thinking about this, I saw that Gokuwmon has some kind of weird ring attached to his right arm.
- "Gankoomon, do you see that ring on his arm ?"
- "Yes. I think this is the reason of his weird behaviour, and not the Kinkoji… Or lack of it, there."
Now that he mentions it, that Gokuwmon doesn't have his Kinkoji. That generally means they swear more easily, but most importantly, they will look for a fight, regardless if they are weaker than their opponents, which is the case here, since I can go near the power of an Ultimate, and Gankoomon IS an Ultimate. And actually, we have…
- "Step back, little one" I said to Huckmon
- "Do not worry for him, Warrior of Darkness. Huckmon might be a Rookie, but remember I am the one training him. He can hold his own against a Perfect, without a problem."
- "3 on 1 then… Fine. Choutaiden Raikou Hou !
The attack came under the form of an energy arrow, as if he had gathered that energy beforehand. We jumped, dodging the attack, and I had to jump farther, in order to avoid Gokuwmon's second attack. Quickly, I had to spirit evolved into Loweemon.
Huckmon was the first to counterattack with a Baby Flame, following this, he rushed to Gokuwmon and used his Fif Slash to try to strike that mysterious ring he was wearing. He failed and had to avoid a shot from Gokuwmon's staff, and tried for Teen Ram. A staff shot sent him away, Gokuwmon was ready to attack him, but Gankoomon was already one step ahead of him
- "Nice job, Huckmon. Tekken Seisai !"
He sent Gokuwmon away with a big punch, allowing us to pass
- "Lead them, Huckmon ! Warrior of Darkness, I'll stay here to take care of Gokuwmon ! Lead them to what you seek, and go back here ! If I can destroy that ring, We'll come to the main temple with Gokuwmon !"
- "Understood. Stay safe, Master !"
We ran into the temple, leaving Gankoomon behind to fight with the Beast Man Digimon
Gankoomon
Now, I am going to end this freaking farce. This is going to be quick, and swift. For Yggdrasil's sake, I am one of the thirteen Holy Knights, heroes of the first war against the Demon Lords.
- "Are you gonna fight seriously this time ?"
- "So you had realised, Gokuwmon. Indeed, even my own disciple, Huckmon, has yet to see it."
- "Come at me, then"
Foolish idiot. I let out the spirit inside me. Hinukamuy is always within me.
- "You know your job, Hinukamuy ! JISHIN ! KAMINARI ! KAJI ! OYAJI !"
Simple, but effective. Hinukamuy is supposedly a Champion-level Digimon, but here, he's just preparing the field.
- "Useless, Knight ! I belong to the most powerful Perfect-level Digimon ! Shippu-jinrai Geki !
Lightning-speed Attack ? How useful. The attack is basically Gokuwmon ramming itself into his opponent, after accumulating the energy of a thundercloud in him. I decide I won't even bother. I could see him coming at me, and just evaded on my right.
- TOO SLOW ! Tekken Seisai !
With two punches, I just broke the ring on his arm, and just as it shattered, the Kinkoji on Gokuwmon's tail reappared. I look at him. His eyes were now sky blue, as if he had been freed of something.
- Thanks, Gankoomon-dono.
- What happened to you, Gokuwmon ?
- A Megadramon trapped me. Now that I think of it, there was also a blonde boy with him. They gave me that ring, which suppressed the Kinkoji's power. Not that I like it, but it is Sanzomon-sama's will…
A blonde boy ? What the heck is going on in my Digital World ?
- I have a question, Gokuwmon : was a dark-haired girl somewhere as well ?
- Nope. But I suggest you to be careful, that Megadramon flew with the human right to the Temple, where Humility is lying. He might have an ally already in the place.
- I will be careful. For now, you are dismissed from duty and free to do whatever pleases you.
- Then I wish to accompany you. Sanzomon-sama will come here in a few minutes, then, with your approval, we'll be going to the Temple of Humility, through Reliability Road."
- "If it is indeed your wish, then you shall. One powerful Digimon like you will be useful"
Kimura Koichi
After we left Gankoomon, I quickly felt it was over. Not that I was surprising. Gankoomon ranks pretty high in the Royal Knights power scale. We were lead by Huckmon and Wallace to the biggest room in the temple, where a stone slab, engraved with the Crest of Humility was laying. In front of it, working on a computer, was… a blonde boy, that wasn't Wallace.
- "Who are you to trespass on holy territory, human ?" spat Huckmon
- "I suggest you watch your tongue. After all, you're only a Rookie, and I've "that" power.
- "What do you mean by "that" power ?"
- "The power that gave trouble to the Warrior of Wind. I know how to Jogress Digivolve Digimon"
- "So you were responsible for Megadramon and Gigadramon ?"
- "Of course ? I saw a situation that was going to advantage you lot, and I had a way of changing that. You don't need to be a genius to know what to do there."
I was holding my spear.
- "Whatever. Step aside, kid. That thing belongs to us, now."
- "You think so ? Well, I don't. MEGADRAMON ! GIGADRAMON !"
The two serpentine Digimon revealed their forms as they were hiding in the shadows, and had pointed their Genocide Gear to us. The kid was in the middle of them. He had spiky white hair and was sporting some jeans with a white shirt with black sleeves and two stripes on the chest. His righyt ear was also pierced. Daisuke Motomiya was staring at him. As was Taichi.
- "I know you… you're Rei's brother, Neo !" Taichi shouted
- "I'm surprised it took you this long to recognise me, Yagami."
- "Neo, what are you doing here ? This world is…"
- "You wanted to say "dangerous", I guess. Ah, Yagami, you're most likely the biggest idiot I've ever met. Do you know why this world is dangerous ? Because Lucemon-sama can't rule it as he wishes."
I was strucked. That guy, Neo looks like he's… about the age of the Children. Yet, he was siding with the Demon Lords ?
- "You can't be serious, Neo ?! What does your sister thinks about this ?"
- "I couldn't care less about what my sister thinks of this. I am a genius, you know. When this was a thing, I was the D-1 Tournament champion."
Neo was making an allusion on the Virtual Pet toy, of a few years back. It didn't have much success, most of the little monsters were actually Digimons. It was an idea from Jiang-yu Lee. Some tournaments have been organised. Kurayami actually took part to one, with her Labramon toy, but was wiped out in the first round.
- "What does it have to do with anything of this, Neo ?! Hell, what does your best friend Fujimoto thinks of this ?!"
- "He doesn't know… yet. As for you, Lucemon-sama has said you must be erased from this universe, so I will do it… gladly. Megadramon ! Gigadramon ! Use Genocide Gear !
- "Roger that ! Genocide Gear !"
- "Genocide Attack !"
This is bad. To say the least. I was firing Endlich Meteors left and right to try to avoid the children to be hit. Huckmon was doing his best to help me as well, but we couldn't do much. Huckmon turned to Wallace
- Wallace, use the key ! We need to evolve !
- Okay !
He drew the key from his pocket, then his digivice, that ressembles the original Chosen's one, and put the key inside of it
- D-Lock disengages ! Initiate Digivolution !
Huckmon digivolves to… BAOHUCKMON !"
BaoHuckmon was now approximately my height, and still wearing his red mantle. Neo was looking at it, more precisely, he was glaring at him.
- It doesn't matter if you're a Champion, you're still no match for a Perfect ! MEGADRAMON, Ultimate Slicer !
The attack came to BaoHuckmon at high speed but he… disappeared ? He reappeared just over Megadramon and…
- This is the end for you ! FIF CROSS !
He basically smacked him on the helmet with his paw and claws, launching him to the ground !
Yagami Taichi
So this is the power of Gankoomon's training. BaoHuckmon, just a Champion, took care of a Perfect-level with a single blow. Neo was furious. I could tell. I wanted to fight, but against both Megadramon and Gigadramon, we had no chance to win. But, now that I think of it, we might have a chance.
- "Koichi-senpai, shouldn't we help you ?"
- "I would prefer you stay back, but if you have some kind of plan."
- "I do. Jyou, Daisuke-kun, come here"
I told them my plan, as BaoHuckmon had was keeping Gigadramon at bay. Megadramon looked out of commission for the time being.
- "Nice plan, Child of Courage" said Wallace.
- "Thanks… Wallace ?"
- "Yes, that's me. Wallace, partnered to Huckmon. Supposedly the fourteenth and last Royal Knight."
- "What was that key you just used ?"
- "You mean the bronze key ? I used it with my Digivice, called a D-Sync. There are 3 locks, and 3 keys, corresponding to the Champion, Perfect and Ultimate level. Master Gankoomon gave me my bronze key when I started training saying I'll be looking for the silver and gold one when the time is right."
- "Shall we be going now ?"
- "Yep, we're going ! Agumon, you're on ?"
- "Always !"
I put my Digivice out, Fist burning with Digisoul. My gesture was mirrored by Daisuke and Jyou.
DIGISOUL CHARGE !
Agumon digivolve ! Veemon digivolve ! Gomamon digivolve !
GREYMON ! EXVEEDRAMON ! IKKAKUMON !
Ikkakumon was to stay behind, not only because his Harpoon Vulcan was a mid to long-range attack, but because his frame didn't allow him to move well on the ground. If there was some water here, it would be different.
ExVeedramon launched himself to Gigadramon with his Magnum Punch, launching Gigadramon into a wall, where he was on the receiving end of a V-Breath Arrow from ExVeedramon, a Harpoon Vulcan from Ikkakumon and a Mega Burst from Greymon. Neo was irate. We were only four Champions, and we had beaten his two Perfect as if it was nothing.
- "Megadramon, Gigadramon, you know Lucemon-sama won't tolerate failure, right ?"
- "I'm sorry, Neo-sama. We were overwhelmed. Some of those Champions are too powerful"
- "I've seen that." he said before sighing. "I guess I have no choice."
He had two bracelets that were looking like Digivices. He crossed them, returning BOTH dragons to their previous form of Cockatrimon, Akatorimon and Kuwagamons !
- "I thought you would Jogress them, Neo Saiba"
It was the Child of Darkness, who appeared from the shadows. Koichi-senpai was looking at her, as he was trying to use his sixth sense to determine who she was.
- "Child of Darkness, look at this."
- "DON'T LET HIM DO THIS !" yelled Wallace
Neo made his two Digivices hit each other, combining Cockatrimon and a Kuwagamon into Megadramon, and Akatorimon and the other Kuwagamon into Gigadramon
- "Well, they got beaten by those puny champions so… TRIPLE JOGRESS TIME !"
Neo kept his Digivices like they were, fusing Megadramon & Gigadramon !
Megadramon jogress digivolve ! Gigadramon jogress digivolve !
Their combined form was a gigantic metallic dragon, sporting two big cannons, his right claw was one Giga Arm and the other was a metallic claw, looking like it could be coming from a metallic raptor... I couldn't mistake this Digimon for any other. It was the Ultimate form of Togi Suzuhara's partner…
- "Mugendramon… BaoHuckmon, Koichi-senpai, can you fight that guy ?"
- "Not sure. We could get help from ExVeedramon. Gokuwmon could help us as well. Master would surely hold that guy off, until we get the Crests."
- "That's not even sure."
- "You don't have time for that. MUGENDRAMON ! Use Mugen Cannon !
The twin bursts of lights just hit BaoHuckmon point blank, leaving him to devolve to Huckmon. One attack. Only one attack was enough.
- Finish them off, Mugendramon ! Mugen Hand !
It was a smaller version of Mugen Cannon, and he was targeting Greymon. I saw a shadow, even a blur…
- "Chabudai Gaeshi !"
Something appeared to block the attack ! A gust of wind blew the Child of Darkness' hood, revealing her face.
Daisuke Motomiya
We could look at that girl in the eyes, and I realised… her eyes are… void. Something is wrong with her. I was looking at Koichi-senpai, who was just staring at her. As was Gankoomon.
- "Kurayami… what in the name of Yggdrasil are you doing with the Demon Lords ? With LILITHMON ?" he spat
- "Just who do you think you are, Royal Knight ?" she answered, looking at him in the eyes.
- "Kura… why ?"
- "Warrior of Darkness, the reason why I'm helping the Demon Lords is none of your business."
- "You don't remember us ? At all ?"
- "I don't see why I should."
Then, Gankoomon seemed to realize the blank look she had.
- "Kimura Koichi… she is under some kind of spell. She is manipulated."
I was looking at her. She looked about my age. Maybe some months older. She had waist-length pitch-black hair. She was wearing a black dress, with long sleeve. Some people said I've bad taste, when it comes to girls. Yes, some boys told me I have bad taste, and I am the one who has a crush on Hikari Yagami. But, coming back to her, she was stunningly beautiful. Just her eyes… If I could guess, I would say she had emerald green eyes. By what I could guess from seeing her now, I'd say she has a flat stomach, or almost flat, but I could tell she wasn't flat-chested. She was more near Miyako's size, or Sora's. But here, my mind went quickly over those questions as it was coming to the fact that mattered now : She was possessed by something. I was glaring at Saiba.
- "Hey, Saiba ! Release her from whatever is possessing her !"
- "Even if I could, I wouldn't. Ms Higorashi is following me under the orders of her master, who's a precious ally of Lucemon-sama. We'll be taking those with us." Said Neo, while holding the Digimental of Reliability and Humility. For whatever reasons, he didn't get zapped, like we all were when we try to hold stuff that doesn't belong to us. With a snap of Neo's fingers, they disappeared.
Finally, I was able to get my Crest of Humility but… I felt like we failed. We went back to the outside.
- "That is where we will part ways for now, Chosen Children." Gankoomon said. "We will meet again."
- "I'm sure of this, big guy. That girl… she is…" I asked
- "She is Kurayami, yes. Kanashimi's daughter. I swore I would protect my partner and her family at all costs, and it looked like I failed."
- "It ain't the end of everything, big guy. I mean, what if we can save her, somehow ?"
- "Save her ? But how ?"
- "You said it yourself. She is manipulated. We found who the manipulator is, and we kick his butt ! Simple as that."
- "I'm afraid the manipulator is whoever her "master" is. And considering he is allied to Lucemon, it's not going to be easy, Child of Humility."
Gankoomon
I like his attitude. Really, I do. Pretty straightforward. I looked at his expression. I could see a determination that reminded me of Kanashimi. I still couldn't believe she was dead. And I couldn't do a thing. I was actually supposed to come to the Real World, under cover, just two days later. I didn't come. I knew something wasn't right. I had felt Lilithmon around her home the week before. But it had faded.
Back to the Child of Humility. I also saw something. From what I had seen before, he was the kind who would brag a lot and not necessarily back his words with actions. But here… I saw something I didn't understood. Worry. He didn't know her, but he was worried.
- "Child of Humility. If ever you need help, just shout my name. I'll come as swift as I can."
- "Right. Thanks, Gankoomon."
After that, night was coming. They went back to Holy Angel Castle, and the Mush Cottage. Only Hikari, Takeru, Ken, Shinji, Asuka, Rei & Michael didn't have their Crests at this point. Which meant the next Crest they were looking for were Light, Hope and Kindness.
Inside the Castle, Alphamon was standing here, Hikaru Ryuuji at his side. Actually, all the Royal Knigts were actually with their partners. Save for Janyu, that is. His ExVeemon was just standing here.
- "Looks like you were right, Zeromaru. Kurayami Higorashi, Kanashimi's daughter is the Chosen Child of Darkness. But the problem I have with that is…"
- "The fact that she's manipulated by who knows who ? There is not that many Digimon that can manipulate others."
- "There is a particularly dangerous one. The Sage of Death"
- "But, he… was defeated right ?"
- "Indeed, that's what troubles me. Anyway, how are the researches advancing for that particular item, Craniummon ?"
- "I think I have found it, Alphamon"
- "Right, then that's our top priority. The Legendary Warriors will go with the Chosen to take it."
- "Roger that"
And this is it. Our favorites Digidestined have met Kurayami, and know about her situation. Someone is apparently controling her. But who is it ? Do you have any ideas ?
As always, any review/suggestions are welcomed
Jaa ne !
