FH= Bunch of ingrates, I make Davis a tamer and they say the mode change of
his bio-merge form is too powerful. It is not. Gallantmon and his crimson mode
are way more powerful then Ninjutsumon and his other mode.
R.Calumon= (Sweatdrop) Done ranting yet?
FH= No, not until people stop annoying me with annoying remarks for last
chapter (Walks away ranting about ingrate fans)
R.calumon= Um... okay, maybe you readers should be nicer with your reviews.
Catalyst of Light
By Firehedgehog
Chapter Twenty-Two
"Flame Twister!" MetalNinjutsumon shouted, he leapt into the air and
began spinning, everyone could only watch in interest as a flame tornado
surrounded the mega (Think Agunimon's Fire Tornado from season 4).
Gallantmon smiled to himself as he watched the newest tamer kick some
evil butt, he wanted to laugh at BlizzardWargreymon's surprised look.
The newest digimon to there team didn't look like a fire type digimon,
actually MetalNinjutsumon had a lot of attacks.
He pulled his powers from the three digieggs, fire (Flamedramon),
electricity (Raidramon) and the powerful Golden digiegg (magnamon).
While powerful the ninja digimon wasn't as powerful as Gallantmon, part
of Gallantmon was the Catalyst for one thing and he had amazing energy,
strength and other stuff at his disposal.
He also knew another thing about Ninjutsumons mode change, there was a
time limit for he could only draw so much power before he was forced back into
his normal mode.
'This is also a test my friend, if your heart is great enough and your
bond strong enough you will be a tamer for eternity and not return to being a
destined' Gallantmon thought, he smiled as the flame tornado hit the evil
digimon.
A scream filled the air, everything seemed to go silent as the tornado
enveloped Blizzardwargreymon. Then a scream filled the air followed by an
explosion, now all they could do now was wait for the fire to settle down for
them to see what had happened.
"Remind me never to do that again," a tired voice said, Gallantmon gave
a laugh as a tired MetalNinjutsumon walked towards him. The ninja also looked
a bit dizzy, apparently the other mega wasn't used to spinning so fast.
"I'll remind you then friend, well what about our foe?" he asked, the
ninja sighed and turned to look at the explosion sight where fire still filled
much of.
"I have no idea," MetalNinjutsumon said truthfully, Gallantmon sighed
knowing that he would have investigate to see if the BlizzardWargreymon was
still alive.
'With our luck, probably' he thought, he turned to look at the others in
there group.
"I'll check it out," he said and they nodded, quickly he headed towards
the fire-covered area.
***
Nefertimon was in awe. This battle was so strange. But from the way they
acted she finally realized who was in charge, Gallantmon was.
Yet she still needed to find something out, where was Davis... he had
contacted them all and told them where Blizzardwargreymon was.
'Strange, I wonder if these mega know where Davis is' she thought, with
that in mind she turned to look at the nearest of them.
Justimon if she remembered right, strange... like Ninjutsumon she felt a
nagging feeling that she knew him from somewhere.
'But from where' she thought with a frown, and for some reason she
remembered a boy the original destined had met long ago.
Ryo.
But why she thought of him now she didn't know. He had vanished after
the defeat of Milleniummon.
"Excuse me Justimon, have you seen a digimon by the name of Veemon or
his partner Davis?" she asked, Justimon turned his featureless face showing
nothing (what, on the show he didn't have a face).
"Yes. But that is of no concern of yours, all I will say is the boy is
safe," Justimon said, Nerfertimon sighed having a feeling she would get
nothing else out of the other digimon.
"He's okay?" she asked, she had to be sure.
"He's in the best of hands," the digimon replied in his dual voice, she
nodded glad that she could at least tell Kari something of the young
gogglehead.
***
Ashaton gasped in awe, he had just seen a cool ninja like digimon create
a huge fire tornado. His brown eyes took in all of this.
His heart ached for him to be in that battle. As a destined child he
could fight evil himself.
As it was he recognized at least one of the digimon from the news,
Nefertimon. She was partnered to Kari a famous digidestined. She lived in
Odaiba just like himself.
'If only, but my parents would never forgive me if I did' he thought
sadly, and because of his parents his greatest wish would never come to be.
"If only," the nine-year-old whispered, if only.
***
The first thing Gallntmon noticed was the heat, it was so great he could
actually feel some of it through his thick armor. He shivered at the thought
of what it would feel like in there separate form, takato would have been
fried and Guilmon could have been deleted.
'Not a nice thought' Gallantmon thought, his golden eyes scanned the
fire filled area for their opponent... yet he saw no sight of
BlizzardWargreymon.
"Woah," he shouted, something had just suddenly smashed into his back
sending the digital knight to the ground.
"Hah, thought that stupid fire would stop me did you," a voice mumbled
angrily, Gallantmon jumped to his armored feet and spun around to face its
owner.
At first he felt shock then he pushed that all away, standing there was
Blizzardwargreymon. The mega was standing up and that was quite a feat, the
evil digimons body was in very bad shape and parts of its body fizzled in and
out as its data became more and more unstable.
"So, you survived," Gallantmon said simply, the damaged mega gave a
snort of contempt.
"As if anyone such as your group and defeat me or my master, no matter
what you do we will have the catalyst sooner or later," BlizzardWargreymon
sneered, inside Gallantmon Takato shivered.
'Damn, someone else wants the Catalyst. And I can't have that,
especially since I'm the catalyst' Takato thought, and he needed information
on this master... after all this person was after him.
"Who do you serve, tell me this instant," gallantmon demanded, then to
his surprise his opponent began to laugh. Not a nice laugh either, one that
sent shivers down your spine and gave very small children nightmares.
"Why should I tell you who follow the catalyst, there's nothing you can
do to me now," Blizzardwargreymon said with a contemptuous snort, it was then
that everything seemed to go slow motion.
BlizzardWargreymon leapt forward as if to attack, Gallantmon to defend
himself quickly held up his lance ready to use his attack. Yet he never had
to, BlizzardWargreymon didn't stop leaping forward... his chest met his lance
and didn't stop.
"Why?" he asked the other mega, BlizzardWargreymon looked at him with
determined eyes.
"Because, I did it for my master," BlizzardWargreymon said in a superior
tone of voice, then the other megas body exploded into spare date and floated
into the sky above.
"Goodbye," he whispered, sometimes being the hero was hard... seeing life
wasted like that was the worst.
'Time to head back to the others, then back to the hotel' Gallantmon
thought, and maybe by then Blizzardwargreymon's self-deletion wouldn't hurt so
much.
***
Ashton groaned in dismay as the battle ended; he had hoped it would last
longer, just so he could watch those strange creatures.
Suddenly he felt someone behind him, turning he winced. His mother stood
there, his face whitened knowing that she had obviously seen the digimon.
"One of those damn monsters, should stay in there own monstrous world
and kill themselves," his mother snarled, he winced as she slammed his window
blind down... closing the world of digimon away from him.
"Now, if your done watching those evil creatures," his mother said
angrily, Ashton winced knowing that he was going to be grounded for a long
time.
"It's mealtime," his mother said coldly walking out of the room, the
brown haired boy took one last sad look at the blinded window before following
his mother.
'Why can't I be happy like everyone else' he thought; in his mind he
kept replaying the scenes of the digimon battling.
***
MetalNinjutsumon watched silently, he waited for Gallantmon to return.
He felt relief as the golden eyed knight walked from the dying inferno of
flames, yet... he couldn't but notice a sadness to those eyes.
"Well?" he asked; the knight was silent for just a moment.
"BlizzardWargreymon is no more," Gallantmon said, MetalNinjutsumon
nodded and glanced idly towards Nefertimon who had managed not to fall into
her normal form.
"What now?" he asked, Gallantmon looked over all the digimon that was
with the tamer group.
"We head back to rest, this is not the last battle," Gallantmon said,
everyone nodded feeling this also.
"Nefertimon," Gallantmon said, the armor digivolved digimon looked at
the knight.
"Yes?" she asked, MetalNinjutsumon knew she was very curious of the
tamer group... and probably very curious of where Davis was.
"Tell the destined whenever they arrive... and they should arrive soon,
the storm is over with Blizzardwargreymon gone who controlled it. The child
Davis and his partner Veemon is safe, we will meet again," Gallantmon said,
MetalNinjutsumon rolled his eyes at the long speech... it seemed that the knight
liked to talk a lot sometimes.
"I guess," Nefertimon said in a soft voice, Gallantmon nodded and
motioned to the others, it clearly said they were heading out.
"Until next time," MetalNinjutsumon said, he then used his digimon
powers to slip between shadows to an area near the hotel he could un-merge
with Veemon.
***
Takato and Guilmon were already back at the hotel by the time everyone
else got back, the white haired boy looked amused at there surprised
expressions.
"Takato," Davis said, Takato looked at the goggled teen and smiled... he
knew what was coming and knew that the other tamers wanted to know also.
"Yes Davis," he said, but he would be polite and wait for the younger
boy to ask.
"Why did my D-3 change into a D-ARK... and how did you do all that?" Davis
asked with a frown, Takato smiled and motioned for Davis to sit.
Davis did with Veemon on his shoulder, the other tamers also gathered around curious expressions on his face.
"Davis, what do you know of the Catalyst," Takato said, Davis blinked in
surprise before answering.
"Well the catalyst is powerful and everything evil seems to want it,
also the catalyst is a digimon known as Calumon," he told him, a flash of
sadness went across his eyes as he remembered Kari not believing him when he
told her who the catalyst was.
"There's more to the Catalyst then that," Takato said, with that he
slipped off his bandana. Davis gasped his eyes going wide at what he saw as
well as Veemon, on the white haired boys forehead was the symbol of the
Catalyst.
"But how?" he asked confused, Takato sighed softly before he began.
"I am the catalyst, Calumon and myself are one and the same," Takato
said, Davis blinked in shock... at least this explained why he never saw Takato
or Calumon at the same time.
"You're a digimon," he blurted out, he then blushed realizing that
Takato might hate him for yelling like that... the digidestined had always
glared at him.
"The nearest thing you can compare me to is a hybrid creature, of both
digimon and human, I can take either form," Takato said with a small giggle,
it was a sound Davis had heard Calumon do before... something that made him
start believing this.
"This is all Kind of hard to understand, but how exactly did you change
my digivice and get me to bio-merge with veemon?" Davis asked, now that was
the million-dollar question.
"I would like to know that also," Ryo said, but his attention wasn't
totally on what Takato was saying. A small smile was on his face as he looked
at Veemon.
He knew veemon very well. But he wouldn't say anything, it looked like
the rookie digimon didn't remember him much, but the rookie digimon now and
then would give him strange looks.
"Umm... that's a bit stranger, you see I can't change a digivice on my
own. You helped Davis, if you hadn't wanted to be a Tamer so much it wouldn't
of changed," Takato said, Davis blinked.
"I changed it also, that must mean I caused the bio-merge with your help
also," Davis said thoughtfully and Takato nodded, if any of the destined had
been there they would of thought the scene of a thoughtful Davis strange.
"Yup, by the way we still have something else to discuss," Takato said,
this time his eyes were serious... Davis knew what he meant.
"My parents," He said, Takato nodded.
"Yes, I found that all wasn't as it seemed that day," Takato said, Davis
frowned knowing that Takato wasn't telling him everything.
"Takato, what aren't you telling me!" he demanded, Takato sighed and
looked at him with very sad eyes.
"Davis, I think you should come with me... but all the other tamers should
stay here," Takato said, everyone agreed but no one understood what was going
on.
***
The smell of medicine and cleaners filled the air, white washed walls
and tiled flooring was everywhere. In front of a closed door two boys stood,
they were easily recognized as Davis and Takato.
Takato was once again wearing his bandana to hide the symbol of the
catalyst on his forehead, at their sides were there respective digimon
partners.
"The hospital, why are we here?" Davis asked, Takato sighed not knowing
what to say... but he had to say the truth.
"Since the day Guilmon and myself found you after hearing your parents
speak I began to search, I had only just found the answer when we discovered
Blizzardwargreymon. You see Davis they were being controlled by the creature,
but after he was done with them..." Takato said and he trailed off, Davis face
was white and tears were in his eyes.
"So they didn't mean what they said, what happened to them... tell me,"
Davis demanded, sadly Takato looked at the door. Davis saw this, quickly he
ran into the room his partner hot on his heels.
Neither noticed the words 'Coma ward' above the door.
With a sad sigh Takato followed the young gogglehead into the room.
***
His parents lay lifeless on the hospital beds; they reminded him of
string puppets who strings had been cut. Davis felt tears come to his eyes and
he let them fall, after finding out the truth, he had to find them like this.
"Why, why did that digimon do this," Davis whispered sobbing, to his
surprise he felt someone hug him in a brotherly like hug.
"I don't know, I think Blizzardwargreymon was trying to get rid of at
least one of the destined. He probably thought that you would fall into
depression to bad to get out of, I really don't know," Takato said softly, he
let the younger teen go. He had begun to think of Davis like a younger
brother, and he hated anyone to be in pain.
"Can... can, can you do anything to help them?" Davis asked hopefully, he
watched as Takato looked at the two comatose adults.
"I'll try, but I don't know if I'll get any results," Takato said
frowning, he walked between the to beds and placed a hand on each comatose
parent.
Davis gasped in awe as a soft glow cacooned Takato, it was a soft gold
in color... and by now Davis recognized the feel of the Catalysts power.
Then as suddenly as it begun the glow vanished, Takato turned and his
eyes showed very deep sadness.
"There is nothing I can do, their bodies are there... yet," Takato said
softly, he turned his face away his eyes closed.
"Yet what!" Davis demanded, with a sigh Takato opened his eyes and
looked at Davis.
"There minds and souls are completely gone, your parents are gone,"
Takato whispered, Davis felt the world go numb... his world fell totally apart.
"I'm alone, and I know June won't be able to look after me," Davis
cried, Takato hugged and kept on hugging him till he cried himself out... which
was quite a few hours.
"Your not alone Davis, you can be part of my family... I always wanted a
little brother and my parents always wanted a second child," Takato whispered,
Davis sniffed and looked at the white haired teen with puffy red eyes.
"Really," he said, Takato nodded.
"Thanks," Davis whispered, Takato helped the spiky haired boy up and
gently led his new brother away from the hospital.
"It won't always hurt this much, but the pain never truly goes away,"
Takato whispered, sometimes life sucked.
***
Ashton dreamed; he dreamed of all things of being a digimon. What
digimon he was you ask, he was agunimon of all digimon. He was in a forest
that trees seemed to reach to the heavens, suddenly a bright light filled the
air around him.
"What the," Agunimon/Ashton said, his voice was different then his
normal... after all he was a digimon at the moment.
"Your destiny," a voice said, Ashton spun around seeing no one the voice
could belong to.
"Who's there!" he demanded, the light became brighter yet he did not
fear it.
"Your destiny will come Ashton, wait... then the dream will become
reality," the voice said "But it might be quite a few years, but your dream
will be real," the voice said.
~
Ashton awoke with a gasp; sweat pored down his heart shaped face as he
sat up.
"My destiny... what does the voice mean, how can my destiny be to be a
digimon... I want to be a digi-destined," Ashton whispered with a frown, then
with a groan he lay down... dreams were so confusing.
"If it is true, how long do I have to wait... it could mean days, months
or even years," Ashton whispered, it took him a very long time to get back to
sleep.
***
Davis sighed; it seemed hours since he had gone to bed. Yet sleep was a
long time off, he wasn't surprised though, not after what happened today.
'Lets see, D-Ark changed, become a digimon with Veemon a mega at that.
Found out the truth about Takato who is kinda a hybrid and the catalyst, and
then worst of all what happened to my parents and the truth of that day' Davis
thought with a sigh, he turned and smiled seeing his partner sleeping soundly.
'At least one of us is sleeping, seems to me that after my day I should
be dead to the world sleeping' Davis thought, but today's advents kept him
wide-awake.
'Wait a second, what about the digidestined, they don't know I'm a
Tamer" Davis thought eyes wide, then he smiled and gave a small giggle.
'Actually that fact could make this quite fun, after all they never
really treated me well even if I just saved there buts from deletion. I'll
tell them later, after they sweat a bit," Davis thought, with that in mind the
newest member to the tamers finally fell asleep with a smile on his face.
