chapter 2 the Blond haired girl and the white haired shooter
Unknown Location at night : three weeks before Ashura met Gatomon
At the corner of shibuyas close towns a big fancy house almost at the end of the city. The decoration and style are that of a European ambassador.
A young girl walks to her homephone. She notices an answering part of the machine is beeping. Which to her is odd because she rarely ever gets any messages.
" It's not likely for me to receive any messages...unless it's a prank call." She checks the collar ID and it reveals one name. "Oh it's just you Veidt". She says as she hears the message.(I'm smart enough to know what he's about to say but I'll get a major scolding if I don't) she presses the button to hear the message. It was a familiar but cold voice that sounded foreign but serious.
It's me... to remind you once more. The deadline near so it would be a problem to relax because there are two spots for the war left.
If you want to quit, then come to my building. I could always find a replacement dispite the short time to find a substitute.
She makes a deapan face(That has to be the worst lie I ever heard. Like he can find someone else this short matter of time.)
I witnessed the signs that you are already a master. So I'd advise you to summon you partner. Unless you want to turn away and spare your life, you could always turn to my protection...beep...beep...beep...
she giggled "Heh Heh, you don't need to tell me twice." She said as she held a from of neckwear and gripped it.
The young girl's basement
(OST WHIRLPOOL OF FATE~UNMEI NO UZU)
The young eager girl stands alone in a dark room filled with books, journals, reading shelfs and old statues and trophies. With a clock that will strike the center of night. Because its a perfect time to summon her power.
"The competition for the Holy Grail war... where heroes are comprised of those creatures called Digimon."
Digimon don't need to be summoned with this much difficulty but this young girl wants to attempt to summon the one of the most important class in the seven digimon so she needed to make sure to pick the best.
She marks an enchanted circle below her feet. She activities her phone as it mark glows so does the phone and starts her enchantment
"Bare silver and iron. Stone for foundation and the great duke of contracts. My great master Azulongmon for the ancestor. A wall for descending winds. The four gates shall close and come out the crown. Let the three-forked road to the cycle kingdom."
"Enclose Enclose Enclose Enclose Enclose just destroy the enclosed time."
"Anfang"
she feels a click noise from her energy resources. But her phone glows brighter and small digital pixels are slowly flowing out of her phone like a both energies become one.
while this, the young girl starts to lose some feeling in her hands but chooses to ignore it. The power starts to be absorbed by her body. Thus giving her slight illusions of having wings, horns, scales on her hands while being in the water. Her body starts to heat up dramatically.
I...I annouce
Thy body shall be under my command. My fate shall be determined by thy sword.
Follow the call of the Holy Grail. If thou wouldst obey this mind and reason, then answer my call.
Make an oath
I am the one who shall lay out the evil of the afterworld.
Thou art seven heavens clad in the three great words
that's when the room is full of warm winds of light that threatens her to shut her eyes.
She finishes her encantation with these final words...
Emerge from the ring of control. Guardian of balance!
She still blinded she awaits to open her eyes.(ooh I can't wait to see who it might be) she thinks with glee
(OST END)
When she opens her eyes, she looks at...absolutely nothing...
"Huh?..."
She looked around but there was no one here but her.
But before she could rage out...
CRASH!
She hears a noise upstairs. Maybe the digimon got summoned their...
"WHY! THERE?!" She started to run upstairs unknown what shes running into.
Upstairs...
She finally reaches her living room but once she reached the door, it stood in her way.
"The procedure broke the door?!" She tried to open it and hitting, leaving her ticked...
"Lllleeeeet...me...IN!" she shouted as she kicked the door open
With the door our if her way, she saw that the whole room was a mess.
And in the middle of that mess, a single man lounging on the couch.
He was dressed in white clothing with black and silver armaments. With chains around him. Wearing a black mask to covee his lower face and a blue bandana that covers his head. With white hair and grey eyes.
She notices the time in her cloak sent her an hour later... and then shes starts to complain
"Muuh...I can't believe I messed up...sigh still I should learn from this and strive to work harder!"
In the man's eye, at first, he's suprised that he got summoned in a situation like this. But right now what he sees is a short girl with long wavy blond haired tied up twin tails braded in wing shaped brades with green eyes. Dressed in black Gothic clothing.
After she stopped talking to herself, heh she finally spoke to him.
"So who are you?"
He was a bit shocked at she said obvious it should be obvious.
But he regains his composure with a teasing smile hidden under his mask.
"Really... those are the first words you say to me?
Heh, I must have gott the short end of the stick."
(Is this really my servant?) She didn't pay much attention to his last remark. She was too much in thought in which class he's in.
(Odd...I've read my share on digimon but I've never seen or heard of this type before.) She senses a lot of power coming from him despite being relaxed. she can't overwelmed, shes got a task to do and a spirit to know who boss.
" Um...so to be clear on things, are you really my servant?" She questioned
"That's what I'd like to know...I would know if I had been summoned properly" he smirked "But this is the first time I have been summoned so I'm not sure." He said though that made her blush in embarrassment.
"It was my first time too!" "So I can't answer that..." she said as she turned her head away
"Well could you at least tell me why I wasn't summoned in your direct location? I don't think I've heard something like that."
"I said drop it."she replied and continued " All I ask is for you to know your my master, and right now I can't answer your questions." She complied
"Are you sure that's all you have to say?" He said "After failing you summon you should have a proper explanation.
"We have to make sure were master and servant first. Or else I won't answer your questions" she said
"Thats all? Alright then. Prove it."
"But before you do, you show know that the pair of a master and servant are different from whos stronger and weaker. Do you understand?"
She nods and then displays her phone which still coated with live pixels with a red symbol on the screen of her phone. "This is my mark of command seals. I hope that this is enough proof for you."
"Is that all?"
"Huh?" She looks suprised
He said "the command seals are just tools to keep a servant in line, Im just asking if you are worthy enough for me to be loyal to you."
"And if I'm not, you'll leave."she mumbled
"If I had my way yes...but I guess it cant be helped. With those seals I guess you must be my master. Okay I guess you my master."
"You guess?" She looked upset
He started to get up and walk around the room "But if I'm going to fight with you, I have these conditions..."
(Who does he think he is?) She thought
"From now on I will ignore your opinions"
That made her eyetwitch
"I will decide how to fight"
That made her eyes covered in her hair.
"And you will follow my plans...that way you don't need to fight and I'll have a simple victory without having to save your cute butt. These are reasonable rules, what do you think angelface?" He said as he leaned on a desk.
That made her heat inside in an mad way
She said in a sweet smile "What do you mean you'll ignore my opinions? Aren't you my partner?" She said while trembling
He shrugs it off "As a title yes. But I'll be doing all the fighting so you can just hide your sweet cutie pitutie hide in some hole or whatever. I can handle things from here until the competition ends. At least then you can live to tell about it."
"..!" She made a "tch" noise
"Hmm... why are you angry?...all you need to do is sit back while I go and win the grail so it's a win for you too right?"he said in a casual way " You probably don't need those command seals since you don..."
That made her ticked off...
"If I don't need it then what's stopping me from using AT LEAST ONE?!" She shouted as she activated her first seal
She took a massive leap back "Anfang"
he gets shocked about this "What are you doing?! You can use them this early!"
"Watch Me!" starts to enchant in a different language but what she wants is... (By order of my first seal to give obedience this my spirit)
"What theres no reason to this something do reckless?!"
"There is! Im the master and your supposed to listen to what I say and my opinions!"
Than a red flash surrounds the area effecting the grown man like he felt restraint.
"Gosh using one this early you know how stupid that sounds?"
But she couldn't hear him as she feels too embarrassed to speak
the young girl's bedroom: three minutes later
"Do you understand what important the seals are now" he questioned
"What do you mean?"
"Sigh, the seals aren't just to stop us digimon, but they can also improve are actions. Like say you want me to fly somewhere far, and with a seal, Im there in just mere moments."
"Of course I knew that..." "But it felt useful..." she mumbled the last part
" I guess that's my fault since I didn't know how you'd react but know this. Seals used on minor orders like that tend to be very weak." He explained
"So Im guess you would call that a mistake?" She said in a disappointed way
(OST END Of reminiscence ~ Tsuioku no kanata )
"Regardless its that way for awhile. Probably because you have a lot if magical energy on a different level." He said in a smile." "Just remember next time that the seal work better through our abilities."
Washe happy or unhappy...wait! On a different level)
"So how do you feel after the seal?"
"Well to be honest I feel that I have to obey that order, otherwise I'll be weaker." he said
(So it wasn't a waste)she thought in relief but gets suprised as he walks in front of her
"Well due to these circumstances, it appears that I was wrong about you, you may be a but brash, but you are a powerful master." He then bowed his head "I apologize for what Ive said."
She looked at him and felt a bit flustered..."uh please stop...it's no trouble." She said as she turned her head away.
He went back to his composure like nothing happened "glad to see it"
She sweatdrop (whats with him and that attitude?) "So you accept me as a master now?"
"Of course, with powerful energy resources as yours, you should become a great partner" she blushed at the praise
"So I think its time to introduce ourselves... My name is Mavis...Mavis of the vermillion family."
He felt humor in that response"Heh the only thing red about you is your face." He said while she puffed her cheeks due to that remark
But she shrugged it off for a later time" So which digimon class are you?"she questioned hoping to be a great class like saber digimon
"If you think I'm saber, sorry no" he said seeing her disappointment
"Oh..."she looked in a comically slump
"Sorry I'm not a saber type..."
"No its not your problem, I probably summoned wrong"
"I could understand, an Archer digimon wouldn't sound so cool" he said as his class was revealed
"Archer?"
"Yup, due to summon difficulties I don't remember much about my past."
"Eeh?" She looked worried
"Don't worry about it Mavis...hmm...I guess you can call me Baalmon."
"Oh nice to meet you" she regained her compsure
"Likewise"
(OST END )
The next morning: Ashuras home: Now
As night passes, the sunlight that starts the day starts to illuminate toward Ashuras bedroom
"Hmm..." Ashura was watching his digiegg as it stayed plain as usual since last night
"Something wrong?"Gatomon said as she watched tv
"Do you know when this egg will hatch?"
"No" she said "They do it by choice so the time is more random than your average egg."
He just gets bored and goes to the kitchen to prepare breakfast "So why are you still here?"
"What you don't like a cute little kitty living in your room."
"No and living? don't you live with Sanzomon?"
"I live where I want, like the common alley cat. And I want to live here...plus Sanzomon told me to be here so I could keep track of the race."
"Sigh okay, will after breakfast I'm heading to school. Be sure to lock the door after I leave okay?" He said as he headed into the kitchen
"Yeah okay" she replied as she watched the television
Ashura wonders if Gatomon is just here to mooch on him?
