Chapter 6: My Guardian has Digimon?
(Fate ost opening ougon no Kagayaki )
Never has he had been so shocked before in his whole life...well cept for the past few things he just experienced. Sure he could understand a girl from his school in league with a digimon and could be his potential enemy, but the fact the his old friend knows about digimon without watching the show but rather associating with them for who knows how long.
"Um could you rephrase that? Because I thought you said you have your own digimon." Gatomon said
"Nope your hearing is grand and healthy as those pointy ears of yours" he said in form of s compliment and an insult
She unconsciously holds her ears down "Don't talk about my ears..." she said quietly in a small grumble
"Does he speak the truth?" agumon said to Ashura "Well... hes made some jokes before but..." he said before interrupted...
"Of course not, why a non master of the competition have any digimon? Mavis replied she said as she simply waved her hand
"Look if you don't believe me I could bring them out." Kakashi said as he turned outside the door and shouted "You can come out now!" He shouted because his the people he spoke to are at the end of the hall.
Soon two creatures walk into his room and in front of Kakashi's legs shocking them
"Oh. My..."Said Ashura
"Wha...?" Agumon said While Gatomon was wide eyes thinkingof hhow this was possible (Was this your doing Sanzomon)
Mavis was flustered then shocked "Wh-Wh-What are you INSANE?!, why would you recklessly leave them out in the open?!" She said in reason but suprised by his actions
"Oh that don't your worry your big blond head, I cast a sleep technique all around the apartment, the people will think they slept early." "Now that that's answered why don't you two introduce yourselves?" He said two the two digimon by his legs.
The first one walked toward them standing tall with a serious personality. He looks like a small blue dog wearing boxing gloves and a red long bandana
"My name is Gaomon, it's a pleasure to meet you all"
The second one is a dog like dino with a horn, that looks to be shy and is hiding behind Kakashi.
"Come on now. No need for shyness "he reassures him
"O-oh okay" said the second digimon that waked up slowly and slowly waved his hand
"H-hello my name is...
A REAL GABUMON WOW!" Said Ashura interrupted with sparkling eyes which caused the gabumon to step back in shock
"Careful now Ashura" quoted the female blond
"Huh?" He said as he broke out of the excitement
"as you can see Gabumon is a very timid digimon" said Kakashi he said as the dog like digimon was standing in a very shy stance slightly nervous
"Ooohh like the one on that show" Ashura replied (I wonder if that's like a thing ir just a plain coincidence? )
"If your thinking that this may be a coincidence it could be" he silver haired man as he was reading Ashura's face he said as Ashura made a suprising look
(I get how Gatomon reads me but Mister Kakashi does it with ease...he must be a pro)
"Heh sorry for shouting" which made the Gabumon look at him then whispers to Gaomon "He says it's alright you didn't know just don't shout again " says Gaomon with gabumon nodding
"So if that little lady is not here to date you then what are you two doing? " he now said to get straight to the point
"I merely came to his home to thank him for not killing my Archer" said the blond
The silver haired teacher looked puzzled at her answer then looked at Ashura thinking that he was a tough guy inside...then again he could be wrong.
The Gatomon decided to end the conversation "You probably wouldn't l..."
"Oh I understand alright. The short girl and Ashura are Holy Grail Competitors aren't they ?" He said interrupting Gatomon
She looked shocked at the fact that he knew but quickly looked annoyed that he just said that "Don't interupt..."
"So you just got your Servant today" Kakashi said to Ashura interupting her again making her hiss. In silence
"Um yeah so wait...does that mean your in the competition as well?"
"Hmm...nope what I've dealt with is a little different." Said Kakashi
"Oh well my digimon over there calls himself a saber, Maybe that's his name or something."
"You really shouldn't say your Servant's class in front of a fellow competitor" Mavis replied
"Class" questioned Ashura as he made a forgetful look at her as she looked dumbfounded at his reply
"You seriously don't know about the classes?" She said wide eyed "But you have a Ruler class living with you. Didn't she tell you these facts?"
"He never asked" said Gatomon now holding a bag of chips just to ignore Kakashi
*sigh*
"It looks like I'll have to explain,
Each servant has there own unique class
For each of the seven Servants,
Theres
Archer
Lancer
Rider
Caster
Assasin
Berserker
And lastly Saber"
"There are certain types of classes that can over power the other, but it only depends on the servant."
But the most active servants are the saber lancer and rider class."
"Oh so I get a spirit that acts out." He recaps then he sees Agumon sitting down watching
She nods "and the most independent ones sometimes tend to be archer or caster" she explained
"This must explain why that servant of yours would rather stay outside then talk." Said gaomon as he senses the archer just standing on top of the building."
"Ignore him saber." She said as she puffed her cheeks in annoyance " That's just how he is" she said as she rubbbed her eyes in irritation
"So where do you get your information?" Ashura asks
She stopped then made a thinking face which makes them wonder
"If you want to know, I could show you where it's not late at night yet" Mavis suggested
"Huh, oh umm..." Ashura was thinking about it
"Well?" She questioned
"Oh uh Okay" he answered to her as he thought about it
"Are you sure Ashura" Kakashi said
"I'm sure, hey can you watch over the house while we go?"
"Of course just stay alert" he said a bit serious tone
"Right, come on Saber" Ashura said as the agumon stood up and walked with him
"Oh and if you see Anna again, tell her to bring more of this spiced meatloaf when she wakes up, it's divine" he said now holding a half empty dish of meatloaf.
Ashura and the others looked suprised (when did he bring that and he did he sneak it in?! )
Outside a building about an hour later
"So are you sure that this guy works here?" Ashura said as he questioned Mavis's location
The building looks to be an old church with vines and bushes surrounded by an open space behind it with a proper black gate in front of it.
It gives off an omnius aura either that or the cold wind making the young boy feel chilly with the mere thought
"Positive" she said with a simple look
"Okay, but I got a question... he said then looked at the saber
.
.
.
"Why'd you make Saber dress like that?" He said as he looked at the Saber. The Agumon dressed in a colorful raincoat to hide his physical appearance
"You should know why Indian boy " She said as she remembered what happened after they left
Flashback 10 minutes after leaving
They head onto a third block away from Ashuras neighborhood but Mavis suddenly stopped " Before we continue futher you should let your Servant partake in spirit form"
"...?"
She looked at a him in a deadpan face " It's when your digimon hides into a a ghost like form"
"Oh...I don't know how" he said bluntly which made her look at him in a confused state
"You don't have to" she said "your already knows how to, she just needs your energy "
"Actually I've tried to absorb his energy but he is giving so little" Saber said as he entered the conversation
"What why?!" Mavis said in shock then stopped to think (could it be when he wasted energy to summon saber. No he would still have enough for...) she had theories but were irrelevant and she can't let a dinosaur walk in the night.
*sigh*
"I have compromise " she suggested
"Oh right," Ashura said as he was done reminiscing "So shall we go in" He said and the young blond nods for an answer
"You sure it's safe to go in" the saber warned Which made Ashura think but said "iif she said it was okay then it shouldn't be a problem "
"You really shouldn't trust her that easily" he said with a flat face
"Okay well maybe you could stay and watch guard if you want, I'm going to check it out"
The agumon looks at him in disbelief "I think I found on of his flaws"
Inside the church building
(Fate ost church on the hill)
The two walked to the main hall
It's a pretty hollow place and the seats are wide and long the walls have a purple shade woth little decorations but it can be hard to tell in the dark
Suddenly several candles lit up around the walls. Then he hears a pipe organ playing and sees a dark siloutte on the seat playing
"Oh there he is now" Mavis replied as the nows points to the dark figure
Two last candles lit up revealing a simple blond haired man with combed hair dressed in a purple suit. He stops playing and turns around at them. He stares them with dull blue eyes that could stare and read you like a book.
"I now see that the final master has now risen" the mysterious man says He walks down the stepsand stops
"Greetings I am the human mediator of the race, I am Adrian Veidt" says the tall and intimidating blond Which shocks Ashura a bit
(mediator? But Gatomon's the mediator! Can there be more than one?)
"Mr. Veidt has been mentoring me pretty well ever since I was little right after..." she said but stop and continue It's not important remember why we're here."
( Huh?) Ashura thought About her pause but didn't want to question her right now
"Pray tell what is your name young man"
"Well sir It's Ashura...K, and I don't like to use my last name if you don't mind."
The man looks intrigued won't push you but out of curiosity what does your middle initial stand for"
"It stands for Kovács I guess" He said
That makes the man look at him in suprised "Kovács?" He stops for a bit then smirks "I see now that this competition is now going to be very entertaining."
"What do you mean?"
"As the seventh master the race for the grail will now begin." He said "I certainly hope that Mavis explained what the grail "
"Well she explained about the classes but she thought it would be best for you to explain it better"
"Hmm. Flattering but clearly unnecessary" Veidt spoke " But I shall explain, incase if you didn't know the race for the grail has been around for many generations. Once they previous contestants even labeled the event as the Holy Grail War."
"Excuse me war?"
"You've heard me, it's mostly because those neanderthals stooped to a level of...what's the word...ah yes wiping them out permanently." He said like it was no major issue
This shocks Ashura to a serious thought because he never realized how serious it was...(Digimon actually attempted to take lives...why am I not suprised, oh right, the characters in the show had near death experiences, and that must explain why the lancer guy hunted me down)
"But if there's a war how come no one ever noticed it before?"
"Those who know if magic can easily tamper with ones memory...or simply destroy the witness" he said in a dull tone "But what do you expect when the reward is a wish for the winning master and servant."
"When you put it that way, it sounds like anyone could it." Ashura said
"Depends if there not too timid or cowardly to try." Veidt commented "The last war had multiple cowards it sickness me to remember them."
"The last war? "
He looked at Ashura's curious face and knew what he meant " Yes, in the last war, it participated over an entire decade ago."
"That happened! And there was no trace of it or anything "
"I didn't say that,..."he stopped "Do you remember the great disaster over a said decade"
That made Ashura stop and felt fear and his heart skip a bit. The Moment he said that, Ashura had unstoppable and unbearable flashbacks...flashbacks and memories that he buried long ago. While this was occuring in his mind, Mavis noticed it, and wondered why they meant
"Y-yes, they said an alien zapped out of nowhere and killed over a thousand" He said as he sweated a bit. But then Veidt walked to him and bent over a bit to look him in the eye, yet, Ashura still feels something off about him
With a smirk he said "That was no alien."
That made his eyes widen "Are you saying it was a digimon?"
"Servants carry there own independent intelligence." Veidt said as he explained that this was not a digimon confusion Ashura "What you were implying was not a "Not a digimon, it was an Eater..."
"WHAT?!" Shouted Mavis
"You sound suprised...I've told you this befor..."
"But you never said it was an eater and that set foot in the real world!" The young blond girl interrupted
"With your intellect you would have understood"
"Do you use you "my brain already knows excuse" why didn't you tell me this before?!" She argued
"Because it was irrelevant because it only happened once and no other eater has attempted it since" he explained
"An eater" he questioned
"It is what you people call a virus, except that actually do you harm" Veidt explained "In a way, they are the bane of that servant dimension you like to call a digital world."
(Strange, Gatomon didn't mention any eaters...wait...)
(flashback )
It was back at the arena...
It was some sort of monster that looked like a grey starfish with tenticles with lines that movez like chainsaws with a glowing red ball in the middle.
"W-what what is that?!" He said
Gatomon gapsed in shock with wide eyes (an eater?! Here?!)
"It looks like something that came out of a nightmare." He said as Gatomon broke out of her state of shock
"What kind of digimon is that, I've never seen one like that before"
"That's because it's not a digimon." She said seriously.
"What...?"
(Flashback end)
(Could that have been an eater?) he thought
"It was not only the only eater to step foot on the planet but it was also the first eater in recorded history" the tall man explained
"Really Gee how coincidental" Ashura said
"Perhaps, but I'll let you figure that out." He said "You know I carry the option to let you drop out of the competition you feel like you don't want" Veidt suggested
"What?" Ashura said in a confused way
Mavis then spoke " It's true as mediator if a human survives or quits they can take refuge and safety until the race ends" she explained
"Just like that" Ashura said suprising because to him it sounds too easily
"There's no catch just part of my task so do you want to quit before the fights commence?"
Ashura didn't need another second to think about this "Thanks but I want to see how this goes"
"Is this because you you to fight?"
"Nope, I don't feel know why but I like that I need to see this through" and looks at the tall blond in a serious look " and if there's a chance, maybe I could prevent casulities this time"
Now The mysterious man looked him in a serious way "People die, it's granteed" Ashura looks at him like he noticed some irritation but then veidt made a small smile" but like to hear about you trying then"
"Okay" he then turns and walks but turns and waves "Well see ya I guess..." Ashura said as he walked away and Mavis followed after him
"If you survive that is." He said Veidt said to himself
Out in the streets 15 minutes after leaving
The two left the church to walk back to Ashura's home. They also brought Saber and told them everything while he was on guard duty.
"...and that's what happened Saber " Ashura explained to the Agumon
"You said you felt something peculiar about him right?"
"Yeah he had that fake smile look" he said as it can barely describe a face
"Well you should stick to your instincts." Saber said "Because your in a fierce battle now it can be hard to trust others" he said as it made sense
"You should have taken his offer" Mavis replied as she got there attention and looked her in a confused way
"Sorry but It's my decision "
"Did you forget that I'm a contestant as well?" She reminded him "Soon we wil have to face each other remember "
He looked at her and blinked
"Yeah but that's not until awhile " he said in a casual way ad he put his arms behind his head
"Huh?" She questioned his calm demeanor
"Also thanks"
She broke out of her stuned looked and wondered why he said "Why?"
"For letting me know what's going on if it were up to me, I be asking Gatomon which would take too long ha ha."
"It's no problem" she said
"Still it's a nice gesture for a future opponent" he said as he looked at her and made a grateful smile "I like people like that, heh maybe there can be a wish for more people like you." He said in a complement and at the same time a simple joke.
This made her blush in embarrassment "W-What...Geez what you saying " she said as she turned away
Saber saw this and sees that she has a flaw in complements He continued to walk but he suddenly stopped
"Stop "
"What is it saber?" Ashura questioned
Then they heard footsteps Of someone getting closer
"Who's there?" Mavis called out
"So you can hear that far." Said a young male voice "At least you have ears"
Soon the new character steps out of the shadows
(fate ost into the night)
It reveals a brown haired kid with goggles and a blue bandana with a brown pancho that covers his torso with brown shorts. But the mysterious part was the yellow eyes on him
"A little kid" Mavis questioned
"Look who's talking shorty" said the new kid
That comment hit her hard like an arrow "Excuse me!" She shouted
(she is short,) thought saber then looked at Ashura who was stunned (What's wrong with him? Does he know him)
Meanwhile with Ashura's thoughts (No way,) he thought in complete shock (This-This kid,...He he,...HE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THAT CHARACTER TAICHI YAGAMI! THE HAIR ,FACE, AND ALL!"
He looks at Ashura "Did you forget about me already ?"
"Huh?"
(Flashback ) a three days after meeting Gatomon
while he was walking home he took a short cut through a park before the sun falls. He walks pass the hallow trees as they fell.
"Looks like falls about to end soon"
As he walked he notices a kid sitting but his face was covered with his poncho. He questioned the wear but it's a free country. but just as he passed him.
"If you don't find a servant you will fall"
Right after that was said Ashura turned to look at him but he was gone just like that
(He was that kid?)
Ashura thought "Allow me to introduce myself ." He said as he made a bow as a joke " I am Shandaar EK a participant of the race for the Holy Grail." He said as he starts to make a simple face with a smile
"Now that you have a digimon servant with you," he said as he made an omnius aura "Shall We play a little bit." He said with an every day smile
