(A/N):
Well then, just like I announced yesterday, here is the chapter :)
I don't have anything against you asking for more chapters or faster updates since it means that you like the story, but when I have school, this 'each Saturday'-concept is the best I can manage.
But!
But if I don't upload for two or three weeks, then you can send me death threats or demands for new chapters! Because two weeks is really too long!
Uhm… well anyway here is the chapter :)
Actually I wanted to make it longer, but I didn't manage to write more today :)
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Digimon.
For a moment nobody said a word.
The rest of the Warriors turned around slowly and even though Raito couldn't see their expressions he was quite sure that they changed from worry to shock as soon as they saw the Chosen and their Digimon.
Why now? They hadn't had the time to talk to the Chosen until now, and to be honest Raito wasn't sure if he had planned to talk to them anyway.
But now, now was really the worst moment.
"Ah, Chosen, what are you-"Gennai started, probably to lighten the mood and the situation but Tai cut him off.
"Y-you, but…! Why….? I mean…"
Raito frowned at him, unable to say something.
First of all this wasn't the reaction he had suspected, but he blamed it on the shock, and secondly did he harbor the hope that they might solve this without a fight if the Chosen would let them explain.
He didn't really want to fight; he'd only do it if it was necessary.
"I-it's them!" TK stuttered and pointed at them shakily.
Raito really didn't like how the younger boy spelled the 'them'; as if it was something disgusting.
"Uhm, this might seem weird and suspicious to you but-" Tommy started unsurely and grinned nervously but somebody cut him off again.
To their surprise it was the Patamon.
"TK watch out, they're dangerous!", he said as he floated in front of the boy protectively, glaring at not only Raito and Kasai but the humans too.
"He's right", Hawkmon spoke up too and placed himself in front of Yolei, "Don't worry Yolei, I won't lose this time!"
"You're the asshole who hurt Gatomon!" TK spat and glared at Raito before he looked at the humans, fixing his gaze on Koichi who seemed to be unsure what to do.
"And you're the one who is involved with the darkness! I knew we can't trust you!"
The blond shoved a protesting Patamon to the side and stalked to Koichi.
"If you dare to touch him I'll rip your guts out!" Raito growled getting in a fighting position.
Screw the glass; he would break it gladly to keep the brat from hurting his brother.
Luckily JP seemed to have the same sentiment.
The older boy stepped in front of TK, glaring down on him.
"Stay away from Koichi, he didn't do anything wrong!"
"Exactly!" Zoe agreed and stepped next to JP, "You're the one who attacked him, it's wrong to accuse him now!"
"What the hell?!" Matt yelled, "My brother didn't do anything! And who are you to accuse him?! You're the one who are the traitors here! If you're human why are working against the Digiworld then?! Or are you even human?!" he motioned to the two Digimon behind the glass.
"WHAT?!" Takuya yelled back, "Who is against the Digiworld, we're helping!"
"Helping?" Cody snorted, "Why did you attack us then?"
"WHO DID ATTACK WHOM?!" Zoe now outright screamed.
'Zoe wasn't even there when they attacked', Raito remembered shortly until he saw that the Digimon had started to get into their fighting positions, bringing space between his friends and the Chosen.
"Gomamon, do you think this is right?" A tall boy with blue hair asked – Joe wasn't it?
"Joe, stop trying to be friendly, you remember they hurt our friends, right?"
"I-I think Joe is right, if you'd just let us explain-", Sukai tried to start but again somebody interrupted her.
"Wait." TK stared at them, "Who of you hurt Patamon?"
He stared at Sukai and Zoe, "Who of you two hurt Patamon? Do you have any idea how that hurt him?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA?!"
He stormed to Zoe who was unluckily nearer than Sukai.
"WAS IT YOU?!", he yelled at her face and took a hold of her shoulders.
"STAY AWAY FROM ZOE!"
Raito turned surprised at Kasai who was glaring at TK and looked as if he'd burn everything in just a moment.
Raito could nearly feel the heat that surrounded his friend.
However, it wasn't necessary to help Zoe since she could defense herself just good.
The girl spat in TK's face and stomped on his foot.
Raito couldn't help but smirk as he saw how the boy wiped his face; they sure had their reasons to have respect for Zoe.
A scream let their attention snap away to Sukai who was trying to separate a white cat from her head.
"It's her! I can sense it!", Gatomon yelled.
"Gatomon!" Kari yelled and tried to reach for her digimon but Koichi was faster and had already caught it.
"Keep your dirty hands away from me Darkness!" Gatomon hissed and scratched Koichi, who yelped surprised but didn't let go, square over the face.
"Stop it you critter!" Raito yelled and joined Takuya in bashing his fist against the glass of the window.
To his surprise the glass didn't even scratch, what didn't really calm him.
God damn, he had to help them!
"STOP INSULTING HER!" Agumon yelled back, earning a low growl as an answer.
"Let Gatomon go!" Cody shouted and joined the fight with trying to tackle Koichi from behind.
"Cody! Wait!" Sora called and Matt stopped her.
"Sora, these guys are evil! Don't try to help them!"
"YOSH! Matt is right!", Davis yelled and rose his fist, a small silver blue device in his hand, "Veemon, you know what you have to do!"
"Davis! Wait, you can't let Veemon digivolve in such a narrow space!"
Everybody stopped fighting and stared at Gennai. This was the first time he had spoken up.
"Gennai…", Tai stared at the man thoughtfully.
"Wait!" Cody said suddenly and let go of Koichi who was still holding a furious Gatomon.
"Gennai! Why are they even here?! Aren't you on our side, why are evil digimon here?! And why were they disguised as humans?!"
"We are humans!", Zoe exclaimed angrily.
"SHUT UP!" Mimi cried, "You're definitely not human! Humans can't digivolve!"
"Explain yourself Gennai!" Yolei demanded now too, "Did you change sides?!"
Tai jerked her back abruptly.
"Yolei! Don't ask such things! Gennai would never do something like this!"
"Oh yeah, then explain this!"
"Before you do anything else Gennai", Raito growled, "let us out of here!"
Raito had it really fed up to be caged in this room when his friends were attacked out there.
"Don't let them!" Gomamon yelled, "They'll just gonna try to kill us again!"
"WHO TRIED TO KILL WHOM?!"
And so the discussion continued; Gatomon scratching Koichi and Sukai who tried to calm the digimon while Cody tried to free her. TK and Yolei continued to yell at JP and Zoe who didn't let the two pass to help Cody.
Raito and Kasai had started to punch the window again, and Raito got the feeling that slowly the glass mellowed.
"ALL OF YOU, SILENCE!"
Again, they turned surprised to Gennai who looked furious.
A few of the humans and digimon opened their mouth to protest but Gennai wouldn't let them.
"I don't care what happened in the past to you, I just know that neither you", he motioned at the Warriors, "nor you", he glared at the Chosen, "are meant to fight each other! The Warriors are not evil, and yeah Koichi's element is the Darkness, but that's something you'll have to learn to cope with!"
TK tried to protest but Gennai cut him off again, "NO! I don't want to hear it! You'll listen now! I don't want you to fight – I want you to talk about everything when I am done with the Warriors! Chosen, chose now if you want to stay here and be peaceful or if you leave now!"
He stared expectantly at the Chosen who seemed shocked by the older man's outburst.
Finally Tai answered, "We'll stay then", and the other Chosen nodded even though they still seemed to be hostile.
Raito could practically hear them think 'Maybe we'll find something out then'.
Or maybe they just didn't want to leave them alone with Gennai.
Gennai nodded and sighed exhausted.
"Koji, Takuya, I won't let you out now. I already made a few interesting observations but I want to ask a few questions first."
"Get over with it then", Raito growled in annoyance.
Kasai nodded, "And first, it's Kasai and Raito."
Gennai nodded and tipped something in the machine, not bothered by the confused expressions of the Chosen.
"Okay, then please tell me now: how do you feel?"
"Pretty good actually", Kasai said and swayed his flame-tail approvingly.
Raito just nodded. The primary pain and the dizziness were long gone.
"How did you feel after you digivolved?"
Kasai grinned and scratched his head sheepishly as he answered, "Like shit. It hurt."
Again, Raito nodded supportingly.
This seemed to pique Gennai's interest.
"Where did it hurt?"
Kasai looked thoughtfully at Raito and scratched his chin.
"I don't really now… I guess my arms and legs. And my head. Generally my guts; it felt as if they were being burnt. "
Raito nodded "Same here. Especially my right hand", he lifted his clawed hand.
Gennai nodded again and continued tipping.
They stood in silence for the time and Raito started to feel uneasy under the suspicious glares of the Chosen.
It was only natural that they were suspicious, but their hostile and suspicious glares were really unsettling.
Raito swayed his tail nervously and his ears twitched lightly, searching for a sound besides the constant tipping; maybe whispering of the Chosen.
Finally Gennai finished his tipping.
"Your former forms…", he asked uncertainly, "how did they fight? I only have Bokomon's book as my source, but as far as I know Lobomon fought with light sabers, and Agunimon with burning fists, is that right?"
Both Kasai and Raito nodded.
Raito could hear somebody of the Chosen whisper 'Who are Lobomon and Agunimon?' but didn't pay any more attention to it.
"Then my last question," Gennai said and brought Raito's attention back to the man, "You already fought in these forms; how did you fight? Did you use the same techniques as Lobomon and Agunimon?"
Raito and Kasai looked at each other uncertainly.
"Uhm, I am not sure but I think I fought with burning fists again, but I also shot fireballs. Generally control over the fire, I guess." Kasai laughed nervously.
"I fought with a sword", Raito answered slowly, "but when I fought against Hawkmon I also used my claw".
Gennai nodded again and frowned lightly.
"Like I already said, I want you to make everything clear later."
Raito scowled and he assumed that everyone's reaction was similar.
Gennai cleared his throat and went to the door of the small room.
"I'm finished with you two; I'll let you out now but if you don't want to digivolve later again please stay in your digimon forms since I want to do another experiment later."
He nodded at Tommy and JP as soon as Raito and Kasai had left the room.
"You two next please."
