Chapter Eleven: Challenge of the Spirit
Normal POV
The twin door opened to reveal a circular room. There was also a higher platform that encircled half of the room, in the middle of the room was a glass cieling where the light was directed towards the middle. There were also stone pillars on the platform that kept up the roof above it. Centered in the middle was a small pillar that reached up to Amiko's waist and on it was a glowing object that emitted a bright light.
Amiko and the others started to enter the room, once everyone was in the two doors automatically shut themselves, locking them in. They approached the object cautiously, just in case if there were any traps. Amiko had just entered the circle when the rest of them was pushed back by an invisible force field.
" I guess that's the item and its only meant for Amiko. " said Kouichi as everyone stepped back a little so they wouldn't get hit by the force field. Amiko nodded her head uncertainly and began to advance towards the small pillar. When she was about a foot away, her D-tector started to glow so she took it out of her pocket. The light grew brighter and her D-tector obsorbed the spirit and on her screen was a star symbol(A/N: Think the crest of light.)
Suddenly, the ground started to shake and the small pillar began to sink into the ground as something else started to rise. It turned out to be a statue of a gryphon but instead of feathery wings, it had bat like wings and a pointed devil tail. The statue soon came to life and the beast let out a roar. Amiko stepped back from the beast, fear is evident in her eyes as the beast started to advance towards her. The black gryphon eyed her with blood red eyes like a predator cornering its prey.
" AMIKO!! SPIRIT EVOLVE! " shouted her friends as they banged on the force field. She nodded her head and felt a sudden warmth throughout her body as she took her D-tector and did what her friends suggested her to.
" EXECUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION! " With one flash of light, standing in Amiko's place was, " D'arcmon! " The angel warrior stood her ground as the beast tried to strike her with it's talons. D'arcmon managed to jump out of the way in time but the beast striked again.
Amiko's POV
The gryphon tried to melee attack me with it's talons but I managed to jump out of the way but it wasn't giving me a chance to stand back up. I was trying to think of way to dodge it in time but the only way I could think of was to barrel roll outta there. I wasn't a gymnist and I wasn't a really active person but if my life depended on it then I'm willing to try. I did as my mind had suggested and managed to dodge out of the way nicely. I was quite proud of myself that it came so naturally.
I stood back up quickly and took out one of my swords. It charged towards me and tried to melee attack me again but I blocked it off. It was hitting so hard and it was literally pushing me back. It finally managed to get my sword out of the way and toss me to the side like a rag doll. I winced as I slid to the ground and clutched my stomach. It made a charge for me again and tossed me to the opposite wall, I felt like was going to break any minute now, controling the spirit wasn't a very easy thing to do even though Takuya and the others make it seem easy.
Takuya and Co.
" Amiko! " shouted everyone as they watched their friend helplessly from the side lines. They had tried many times to break the barrier but it just didn't work no matter how hard they tried. Kouji was worried the most, everytime Amiko would recieve a hit, he would flinch slightly and clench his fist.
" There's nothing we can do. " sighed Zoe.
" Yes there is, have fate in her and she will be victorious. " came a voice from Kouji's D-tector. It was Ophanimon who spoke, everyone looked at the D-tector with stubborn eyes but gave in since she was right. They turned back to the battle just in time to see D'arcmon's sword was swept to the side away from her. All they could do now is hope for the best.
Amiko's POV
After tossing me around like a rag doll for who knows how long, I slowly started to get pissed off at this half bird. I took my sword and slashed at it when it came charging towards me. I managed to scratch it but that only made it angrier. It got up on it's hind legs and swept the sword away from my grasp with it's front talons before coming down and trying to squish me. I rolled out of the way before that happened and quickly made my way towards my sword but the gryphon blocked my way. I tried going around it but it blocked my way again. I got fed up and started think while dodging it's talons.
' C'mon! Think! I need that sword if I want to finish this off. I wish I could just fly over this thing! Wait! I CAN! Idiot, why didn't I think of that? ' I started to flap my wings and managed to get in the air and over the beast. I swooped down and grabbed my sword before flying back up again and taking out my second sword.
" It's time to end this foul beast! La Pucelle(The maiden) " I cried as I made an X position with my sword and a red X appeared and hit the beast square in the chest. It gave a roar of pain and a fractal code appeared around it which was pretty weird since it didn't talk yet.
" Be gone evil beast! Fractal Code! Digitize! " I took out my D-tector and scanned it. The gryphon turned back into stone and shattered into small pieces. The barrier seemed to have also been disabled since everyone came rushing towards me. As soon as my feet touched the ground, I de-digivolve and fell on my hands and knees, panting from exhaustion.
" That was wicked! " shouted Takuya as he helped me up. I smiled at him and scratched the back of my head.
" I never knew it would be that difficult fight with a spirit. "
" You'll get used to it. " My D-tector started to beep again so I pressed one of the buttons and the code I got from the gryphon was released and turned into stairs that lead to the platform.
" I guess that's our ticket out. " pointed out Takuya as he lead the way up the stairs first. We reached a door and opened it to find a short case of stairs that lead down to another door. We all headed towards the door and when we opened it, we were back in the main hall again with Madam Laloon, Sanako and Kiko standing there, all smiling. When we turned around, the door was gone and Sanako and Kiko were too. Madam Laloon walked up to us with a smile on her face, it was the first time I saw her smiling.
" Congratulation, you passed the test and have obtained the spirit of D'arcmon. "
" Wait, I thought Amiko was suppose to get the spirit of Angewomon. " said Zoe.
" That is only a fraction of Angewomon's spirit. D'arcmon's spirit was to prove that Amiko is the one to recieve it. "
" So its a temporarly spirit until we find the actual one? " asked Takuya.
" Yes, the actual spirit is where Lady Ophanimon told you. "
" What about her beast spirit? " asked Kouji.
" Her beast spirit will come with the spirit of Angewomon, she will have to unlock it in order to use it. " Everyone nodded their heads in understandment, Madam Laloon had offered us to stay here for one night before traveling again and we accepted. She showed the boy's room and the girl's room and soon we all went to sleep but I couldn't sleep at all even though I was so tired. I stared up at the cieling, deep in thoughts.
' Takuya and them are cool and nice people, I never find those kind of people where I come from. Sure their nice but not in the kind of way Takuya and his friends expresses it. I wish I could just tell them that I'm not from their world but I'm so scared of what they might think of me, what he might think of me... '
With the boys...
It seems that Kouji was having the same problem as Amiko, he seems to only be the one that is awake. He was also deep in thoughts.
' I can't believe that Angewomon fell in love with Ancient Garururmon which is MY spirit! I can't tell her that, she'll freak out and probably try to ignore me for the rest of the time we're in the digital world. But then again, it could strengthen our relationship or it might ruin it. ' He turned to his side, ' Why am I worrying about what she would think of me if I told her?! I never felt like this to anyone in my entire life! Is it because...I'm... in love with her? Oh forget it! I just need to sleep on it, I'll think about it tomorrow. ' With that, he finally began to drift off into a dreamless sleep but with a troubled mind.
There you go! Ok, to see wht happens next, tune in next time and remember to R&R! Thanks!
