A/N = *Rewrite and newly uploaded* There's another chapter in store for you, hope you enjoy it! Back to Eiji, who last we heard from, was being saved by Angemon
Chapter 07 – Eiji Takanato
As Angemon soared through the air, I could only watch in awe at all the different Digimon and sights that we were passing. With Tsunomon in my arms, I gripped the little guy tightly – for fear of dropping and losing my partner!
"The old battlefield is just ahead – that's where I must leave you. Those are my instructions..." Angemon said, dropping lower in altitude. "Ready?"
I felt my heart drop. Ready for what?!
"What? No!" I screamed as I fell about ten feet and hit the ground with a thud. The wind knocked out of me, a tightness in my chest.
"Eiji!" Tsunomon called out nearby. "Help me!" The screams were muffled.
"Tsunomon?" I yelped, darting over the hilly terrain and noticing a small hole embedded into the soil. "Tsunmon!"
"Help," came the quiet reply.
Tsunomon was down at the bottom of this hole and there was only one thing I could do to find him. The thought of it was making my stomach turn. I had to jump. Into the dark hole.
"Here goes..."
I took a deep breath before stepping forwards and dropping. Once in the darkness, I braced myself for the impact of hitting a hard floor, but the falling sensation was slow. I felt like a feather drifting through the air.
"Eiji!" Tsunomon called out.
I stopped suddenly in mid-air before my foot found the dusty ground. A small flaming torch was on the cave wall on the path in front of me.
"Woah... This looks like some kind of magical fantasy inspired castle."
Weapons – swords, axes, daggers, spears and arrows were littering the floor. It was a bit of a disturbing scene to see. To think of these Digimon as fighting with humanistic weapons of war. I felt compelled to run into the temple that Tsunomon had led me to. It had to be explored.
Tsunomon and I followed the path that eventually led to a staircase that went so high up that I couldn't even see where it ended.
"Tsunomon- where do you think it leads?" I asked calmly.
Bang! A spear cage dropped from the ceiling of the room trapping me to the spot.
"Tsunomon, help me!"
"Eiji!" Tsunomon flew through the air through a gap in the wooden bars of the cage and the floor gave way, sliding out from under my feet. "Oh no!"
We hit the floor this time, no pausing in mid-air like before.
Tsunomon shook his body, scattering the dust on him. "Oh my, what a predicament."
Earth and dirt began to shower us and I felt myself pressed up against the wall.
"Tsunomon, come here!" I called out, taking the small head in my arms. "It'll be safe from anything that falls on us..."
The wall moved from where I was leaning and I fell backwards, tumbling backwards I rolled down a slope with Tsunomon tightly to my chest.
Ow...
"Where are we?" I stammered, now probably sixty feet under the ground now, in near darkness.
A light shone down on an egg in front of me, it was a dark egg resting on a stone pedestal. I went closer to it, dusting myself down from all the stumbles and tumbles.
"Is this another digi egg?" I asked Tsunomon. Looking down at the little guy.
"Yeah," Tsunomon replied.
My hand reached out to touch the egg but I jumped when I heard a scream. A human scream. It frightened the life out of me.
"No! Leave that egg alone!" A boy with big dark hair called out running towards me. Wearing a pair of dark jeans, a pale top and a sleeveless coat he came running towards me at a fast pace. He crashed into me, tackling me to the ground with a spine hurting thump.
"Puppy howling!" a little puppy-like dog growled, sending out this sonic boom at Tsunomon.
The power sent Tsunomon tumbling into the pedestal. The collision made the egg wobble drastically. The boy lunged forwards and caught the egg just before it hit the ground. The puppy growled angrily, flashing its teeth at me.
"You idiot!" the boy muttered. "You have doomed us all now."
"Why? What have I done?" I snapped.
"You have awoken the Digimon within this digi egg and it is not a Digimon to be reckoned with. This is dangerous kid."
"Kid? Who are you calling a kid? You're practically my age!" I retaliated as he put the egg back on the pedestal. I froze where I was as the puppy snarled at me.
The boy's head snapped around to look at the puppy. "Stop it Salamon! That growling is just plain rude, I know he does not deserve good manners, but we could at least be civil. And you are the kid, kid." This guy poked me in the chest.
"Who the hell are you anyway?" I asked angrily.
"The name's Kit, Kit Izuri. This is my Digimon Salamon, and we're here to stay, just like you, so deal with it." He picked up Salamon and put her on his shoulder. "And you might as well get comfortable and see what happens with this egg. What even is that thing?" Kit looked to Tsunomon with a scrunched up face.
"He's not even a rookie!" Salamon spat.
"My Digimon's name is Tsunomon and he is my partner just as that puppy is yours!" I snapped.
"Puppy? Who's he calling a puppy?!" Salmon barked at me, glaring at Kit.
Kit walked around the pedestal and watched the egg. Suddenly the egg exploded and remnants of eggshell were scattered around the room, but the creature inside was gone.
"Eiji!" Tsunomon called out. I picked him up and watched as Kit frantically stepped away from the pedestal.
"Where is it, Kit?" Salamon said with complete panic in her voice now. It was like she was a completely different Digimon to the aggressive and spiteful one I remembered earlier. "Oh Kit, this is bad, this is very bad."
"Salamon, it has to be here somewhere." Kit turned around looking directions. "It has to be."
"What has to be Kit?" I asked. "Have you lost your marbles or something?"
"This isn't funny kid!" Kit shouted angrily. "The Digimon in that egg was pure evil. You don't even understand just how big a problem it will be. And it may only be in its baby form now, but it is going to grow, before we know it, it'll unleash the Digimon of Tartarus on us for the one called Titamon."
"Oh wow, yeah, well, yeah. That does sound bad…" I said sarcastically.
Kit let out a most ear pitching scream of pain, that caused my stomach to turn deep down.
"Run kid, run!" he whimpered.
Stuck to the spot, I watched him writhe and flail about the floor.
"Get off the floor Kit, I'm not falling for it," I sighed.
"Come on kid, get out!" he screamed.
"Come on, you heard him!" Salamon called out from behind me.
I chase after the puppy as I heard Kit scream.
"Salamon, don't leave me! Don't leave me all alone." I picked up Salamon and Tsunomon, dragging him away from the screams of Kit, pleading her to come back to him.
Thoughts from AspiringWriterGirl = Ah, so you've met Kit, I'm sure you've got a lot of questions about him, what's your first impression of him?
