Chapter 13

As they left Kumamon turned to SpikeAngelmon and said. "Way a go SpikeAngelmon. You got rid of them."

SpikeAngelmon turned and smiled wickedly at them. "Oh goody more targets. And I can sense that they are strong ones." She raised her hands and said. "Spike Attack."

As they dodged SpikeAngelmon's attack KendoGarurumon (Koji) asked Bokomon. "What's going on? Why is she attacking us?"

"I knew that this was going to be bad." Bokomon said. "She's completely lost control of herself. She doesn't know what she's doing."

"What do we do?" BurningGreymon asked.

"You have to make her control herself again." Bokomon replied. "Make her see sense before she hurts someone. Kirsty needs to be in control again."

BurningGreymon nodded he turned to SpikeAngelmon. "Kirsty don't attack us. It's me Takuya Were your friends remember? You don't want to attack your friends do you?"

SpikeAngelmon tilted her head and she stopt mid – track. "Tak….. Takuya That name…. it sounds so familiar. Why…. why does it sound so familiar? Is it important to me?"

BurningGreymon nodded and changed into his normal self.

"Takuya what are you doing?" Zephyrmon said. "Change back so you can protect yourself from SpikeAngelmon."

"Trust me Zephyrmon I know what I'm doing. She needs to see that were not here to harm or attack her. That we aren't a threat to her. She needs to see us in our human forms." He said as he turned to SpikeAngelmon and raised his arms in the air. "See. It's me. You can trust me SpikeAngelmon. We're not going to hurt you. We want to help you."

SpikeAngelmon put her hands to her face. "What's…. what's going on? What's happening to me? What is this feeling?"

A second later she changed back into her normal self.

She ran up to Takuya and hugged him. "Thank you Takuya. I was so scared. I don't know what came over me. I couldn't control myself. Please forgive me."

She started to cry.

"It's alright Kirsty." Takuya said.

Bokomon walked up to her and said. "You must learn to control your Beast Spirit my dear. If you don't then it will control you and it will hurt the ones you love."

Kirsty nodded. "I'll…. I'll try."

Later that night they were sitting around a campfire.

Zoë went to sit next to Kirsty who was looking at her D – Tector.

"Are you alright Kirsty?" Zoe asked. "How are you feeling?"

"Is this really what I looked like when I changed into my Beast Spirit?" Kirsty asked.

Zoë leaned over and looked at Kirsty's D – Tector and nodded.

Kirsty shuddered. "I look so scary. I don't want to change into this again and lose control. I don't want to hurt anyone. I don't want to hurt any of my friends. Why did it have to be SpikeAngelmon as my Beast Spirit? Why not something different?"

Zoë put her hand on Kirsty's shoulder and smiled gently. "Don't worry you won't lose control of yourself the next time you change into your Beast Spirit. I have faith in you Kirsty. We all do. You can overcome your Beast Spirit's desires. Maybe you were given this Beast Spirit for a reason whatever it may be. You'll be able to control your Beast Spirit."

"But how can you be so sure Zoe?" Kirsty asked. "I'm so scared of my Beast Spirit. I mean it's so much more powerful than I am. I felt its power when it was controlling me before. It's so powerful! I feel so weak compared with it. What if it tries to take control again and I'm not strong enough to contain it. What if I hurt someone? The Beast Spirit is capable of doing that. I don't think it cares who it's hurting as long as it keeps fighting someone or something."

"You only just have to believe in yourself." Zoë replied. "Believe in yourself and you will be able to control your Beast Spirit. Just remember that your Beast Spirit doesn't have control over your actions. You do."
