Chapter 12 Gain of a Beast Spirit, Gain of Control
The digidestined, Bokomon, and Neemon were looking all over the island for any sign of the Toucanmon but had no luck finding them. Kiari wanted to help look for the Toucanmon but was still hasn't recovered from her beast spirit evolution as they all gave up since they couldn't find any sign of the Toucanmon. Zoey tried comforting JP for his loss of his detector since she knows how that felt when she lost her spirit until she got it back. But JP was lost in his thoughts when he was wondering what Zoey would look like when she gets her beast spirit since when Renamon turned into Calmaramon she was hideous looking. The rest of the boys and Bokomon were started to wonder the same thing, thinking that Zoey's beast spirit might end up scary-looking, which really made Zoey upset.
"How can you guys think like that?! I'm nothing like her!" Zoey turned her attention to Kiari, who was sitting next on the stairs of the beach hut. "Don't you agree with me, Kiari?"
"I do agree. Don't you guys remember when I got my beast spirit? I didn't look scary or hideous like Calmaramon. So there might be a chance that Zoey's beast spirit won't look like that." Kiari said as the guys started to remember that event. "Unfortunately, that beast spirit still took a lot of me, and I still haven't gotten all my strength back."
"Kiari does have a point there. Maybe there is a chance that your beast spirit won't end up looking like Calmaramon. But there's also the chance that Zoey might not be able to control her beast spirit like the rest of us." Takuya said as he noticed the Toucanmon flying above them. "Hey look! It's the Toucanmon!"
Takuya and Zoey started running towards the water to swim over to the next island where the Toucanmon landed until they were stopped by some Gomamon, which Zoey and Kiari thought they were cute The Gomamon warned them about the strong whirlpools surrounding the other island and how impossible it was to get out of it if caught. JP suggested that they find a flying digimon that can fly them there as Zoey suggested that they would help the Gomamon get back to their home on the other island.
"But what good are we?" Koji said, which surprised Kiari. "We don't even have our detectors anymore."
"That's a great excuse, but I'm not giving up. It may be tough, but we can do anything if we put our minds into it." Zoey said as they all started working together on making a raft that can take them to the island.
After working on the raft, they were sailing off towards the island until they came close to the whirlpools and were struck by a tidal wave. They were lucky that the raft was still in one piece, and that everyone was still on board. As it turns out, unfortunately, the tidal wave was caused by Renamon. Zoey couldn't help but want to fight against Renamon again and spirit evolved into Kazemon. Kazemon tried to attack Renamon, but her attacks were unable to get past Renamon's water geysers that she used as a shield. Kiari felt the urge to help Kazemon fight against Renamon as she stood up on her feet after feeling her strength completely return. Her friends tried to convince her to rest, but Kiari didn't listen as she took out her detector, put down her bag, and spirit evolved into Libaremon.
'I can't beast spirit evolve or else the same incident from before might happen again.' Libaremon was pulled from her thoughts when Kazemon got hit by Renamon's Drainin' Rain, sending her into the whirlpools. "Zoey no!" Libaremon glared at Renamon, who was lying on her stomach on top of a geyser. "You'll pay for that, Renamon! Wings of Faith!"
Libaremon sent a fleet of glowing feather darts towards Renamon as they went past Renamon's defense and almost struck her if Renamon didn't dodge them on time. Libaremon summoned a glowing bow and arrow as she set her arrow against her bow and aimed it towards Renamon.
"Take this! Faithful Arrow!"
Libaremon launched arrow at Renamon as a geyser suddenly struck her from behind then at her side, causing her to turn back into Kiari. Kiari started falling towards the water as Zoey emerged from the water with her beast spirit. Zoey beast spirit evolved into Zephyrmon, which made her look beautiful as she managed to catch Kiari before she fell into the water.
"Are you alright, Kiari? Do you think you can help me deal with this annoyance? Beast spirit style?" Kiari nodded and held her detector in front of here. "Then get ready and be careful."
Zephyrmon tossed Kiari up in the air as Kiari beast spirit evolved into Kafurimon. Kafurimon's paws became shrouded in white flames as she hovered in mid-air next to Zephyrmon.
"I must say, Zoey. Your beast spirit sure looks better than Renamon's." Kafurimon said as Zephyrmon looked at her. "Then again. Anything can look way better than Calmaramon."
"Thanks. And I think yours looks fiercer than Renamon's beast spirit, not to mention more majestic like than hers." Zephyrmon said as Renamon started to get angry at their compliments to each other which also insults towards her. "Don't you think so?"
"Why you no good brats! You'll pay for insulting me like that!" Renamon used her Dark Vapor on Kafurimon and Zephyrmon. "Don't you feel your feathers and fur coming off yet? What?!"
As the Dark Vapor started to fade, Renamon saw that her Dark Vapor wasn't affecting Zephyrmon and Kafurimon. Zephyrmon attacked with her Plasma Pods while Kafurimon attacked with her Rapid Slash but Renamon made the geyser she was standing on to rise in order to dodge. Zephyrmon's and Kafurimon's attacks went through the geyser and broke it, making Renamon fall into the water.
"Alright! They're able to control their beast spirits!"
Renamon digivolved into Calmaramon and tried attacking the two beast warriors with her Acid Ink, but Zephyrmon and Kafurimon managed to dodge the attack. Calmaramon tried aiming her Acid Ink towards their friends but Kafurimon used her armor to shield her friends while Zephyrmon tried slashing the ink before it reached their friends. Calmaramon used the opportunity to wrap Zephyrmon and Kafurimon with her large tentacles. The guys tried distracting Calmaramon by insulting her, which was starting to work since Zephyrmon managed to get free, but Kafurimon was still in a tight grip.
"Hey you! Let go of my friend!" Zephyrmon used her Hurricane Gale to knock Calmaramon into the water, making her release Kafurimon from her grasp. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Thanks for the assist. Now let's finish this fight." Calmaramon tried to finish them with her Titanic Tempest but started to lose control. "Oh, I'm going to enjoy this."
Calmaramon started to spin away as they all continued their way towards the island.
The Gomamon was reunited with their friends on the island thanks to Zoey and Kiari as one of them went up towards the digidestined.
"We wouldn't have been able to be reunited with our friends if you all haven't helped us out."
"Don't thank us. Thank Zoey and Kiari."
"After all, they're the ones who did everything."
"That really sweet you guys." Zoey hugged Takuya while Kiari hugged Koji, making both boys blush. "Don't you think so, Kiari?"
"Yup. Besides, you guys helped us more than you know." Kiari and Zoey also gave Tommy and JP hugs too. "You guys are the best friends a girl can ask for." Kiari suddenly felt a strange feeling as she started stepping away from everyone else while tightly embracing herself, which made her friends worried. 'The pain's back. But it feels different this time.'
"Kiari what's wrong?" Tommy started walking towards Kiari until she was shrouded by a fractal codes. "What's happening to her?"
Kiari fell to her knees as a pair of angelic wings appeared on back. Everyone had fearful looks on their faces and rushed over to surround Kiari. Koji was standing in front of Kiari as he knelt down and held her shoulders.
"Kiari what—" Koji stopped talking when Kiari slowly shook her head, meaning that she doesn't know. "This must have something to do with the fact that you're the digital princess, doesn't it?"
"Maybe." Kiari put her arms down as she stood with Koji's help. "But we can't stand here and wonder about it. We have to find the Toucanmon and get your detectors back. I'll be fine."
"What about your wings? Are they going to stay on your back the whole time?"
"I don't know. If they are, then I'm just going to have to deal with them."
The Gomamon told them that they saw the Toucanmon going to some Autumn Leaf Fair Fest as the digidestined and their digimon companions set off.
