The Right Kind of Wrong
Chapter 2 - I Know You, You Know Me

After a few seconds, she lifted her head again, only to face Garurumon with teary eyes that flashed with recognition.
"Gabumon..."
"Oojo," Garurumon nodded.
Usagi rushed forward and hugged the large creature with all she had. Her tears soaked his fur, but he didn't seem to mind. "I can't believe I forgot you..."
"That's all right, oojo," he replied. "All in good time."
Usagi pulled away, her cheeks flushing a bright red. "I told you before, Gabumon. I am not a princess."
The wolf chuckled as he had before. "Whatever you say," he commented with a twinkle of amusement. "By the way, my name is Garurumon in this form."
"Garurumon?" Usagi echoed. "Why can't I call you Gabumon?"
"Because Gabumon is my rookie form," he answered. "I also have higher levels than this."
Usagi circled around him, her eyes drifting over his form in a thoughtful expression. "I wonder why I was so afraid of the creatures like you. You seem nice and I bet if there are others like you, they'll be just as nice."
The wolf seemed to smile bitterly. "There are, but they aren't all nice," he replied. "They have been corrupted by the Digimon Kaizer."
"That's horrible!" she gasped.
Before Garurumon could say anything, he was interrupted by several large battle cries. "Oh no," he muttered. "They're in trouble."
"Who?" asked Usagi, confused.
"My friends," he replied.
"Do they know about me?"
"Iie," the wolf answered. "I kept you a secret from them."
"Why?"
"Now is not the time, oojo. I have to go help them," the wolf expressed.
Before he could leave, Usagi laid a hand on his striped fur. "Matte. Let me come with you!" she requested.
"Iie, it's too dangerous," the digimon replied.
"I'm coming with you and that's final," she said in a determined tone.
"Fine, climb on," Garurumon sighed as he bent down.
Usagi grinned triumphantly and moved onto his back. She gripped his fur as he began to dash out of the woods and into the open air. She gasped as she saw the present battle being fought. Several of the monsters lay panting on the ground, while several dinosaur creatures circled them. A boy younger than her stood on one of them, smirking, ice in his eyes. She held on for dear life as Garurumon jumped in the air and in front of the boy.
"Howling Blaster!" he yelled as ice shot from his mouth.
The dinosaur easily deflected it as the boy laughed evilly. "Nice try, Garurumon," the boy said. "But you and your friends are too weak to battle against my Dark Tyrannomon, who have unlimited supply of energy." He then noticed Usagi riding on his back. "My, my... looks like you brought a friend as well. And who, may I ask, are you?"
Usagi turned her blue eyes to him, and he couldn't hold back a gasp. It looked like her eyes could see into your very soul, and he suddenly felt naked. "My name's Usagi," she answered.
"Usagi?" he echoed. "Well, I am the Digimon Kaizer."
"Why are you doing this?" she demanded. "You're hurting them."
"It's none of your business, rabbit," he sneered.
"I'm making it my business," she retorted, glaring at him.
"You shouldn't make an enemy out of me," he warned.
"I don't care! I will not let you hurt them anymore!" she yelled.
"I will rule the Digital World, with or without your permission!" the Kaizer replied angrily. "It is my destiny to conquer it!"
"I won't let you!"
"You should have stayed out of this," he commented. "Now you will be removed from here and you won't ever come back." He turned to the digimon under control of the dark rings. "Attack!" he ordered fiercely.
The Dark Tyrannomon moved closed in on the wounded digimon, snarling dangerously.
"We're toast," said Greymon.
"You got that right," muttered Kabuterrimon.
"Stop!" Usagi shouted in a tone which held an unquestioned authority that she herself was surprised by it. She climbed off Garurumon's back and looked up defiantly into the Kaizer's face from the ground. "You will not win. I will not let you win."
"What are you going to do? I bet you don't even know how you got here." At Usagi's dumbfounded expression, he laughed. "See? I was right. Leave while you still have a chance."
"Never!"
"Why are you doing this?" he demanded. "Why are you trying to protect them?"
Usagi glanced over her shoulder at Garurumon and smiled. She turned and stared him straight in the eyes behind his glasses. "For friendship," she whispered.
At those words, a blinding blue and white light escaped from the necklace she was wearing. The digivice she was holding floated out of her hand and in front of her. Usagi stared at it in awe, wondering what was happening.
"What is going on?" the Kaizer said, irritated.
The only answer he got was the light flashing one more time before an eerie glow surrounded Usagi. "Okay, now I'm getting freaked out," she commented to herself. The necklace lifted over her head and began to spin around to float right in front of her eyes. The sapphire insignia was blinking as well as the crescent moon and other symbols resting on the band. A word floated through her mind. "Digivolve?"
"What did you say?" Garurumon asked.
She didn't seem to have heard him as her eyes became hard and determined. "Time to digivolve!" The ring blinked as did the digivice. Navy light escaped from the ring and shot forward into the digimon's bodies.
"My strength!" gasped Birdramon. "It's returning."
"So's mine," agreed Togemon.
"No more talk, more digivolving!" exclaimed Ikakumon.
"Garurumon digivolve to... WereGarurumon!"
"Greymon digivolve to... MetalGreymon!"
"Birdramon digivolve to... Garudamon!"
"Togemon digivolve to... Lilymon!"
"Ikakumon digivolve to... Zudamon!"
"Kabuterrimon digivolve to... MegaKabuterrimon!"
"Sugoi..." Usagi breathed as she looked upon all the newly digivolved digimon.
WereGarurumon smirked at the Digimon Kaizer as he cracked his knuckles. "Now, it's even," he said. "Wolf Claw!" The attack met one of the targets and then the dark ring disintegrated.
"Flower Cannon!" shouted Lilymon. A stream of flowers escaped and destroyed another dark ring.
The rest of the digimon called upon their attacks, destroying the rest of the dark rings, freeing the Dark Tyrannomon from their spell. The Digimon Kaizer cursed as he looked upon the angered digimon.
"You've won this time, rabbit!" he yelled. "Next time, I won't be so lenient as to underestimate you!" With that said, he disappeared into the woods.
"Shouldn't we go after him?" asked Garudamon.
"Iie, it would be a waste of our energy," said MetalGreymon.
"We'll get him next time," added MegaKabuterrimon.
"Who's your friend, WereGarurumon?" asked Zudamon as he turned to Usagi.
"Usagi," the wolf answered.
The digimon reverted back to their rookie forms, looking at the teenager with interest. They circled around her, while she in turn, studied them as well. "Can you please tell me your names?" she asked.
"I'm Agumon. Nice to meet you."
"Hello, my name's Biyomon."
"I'm Palmon. I like your uniform."
"Thanks," Usagi blushed.
"My name is Tentomon."
"And I'm Gomamon!"
"Nice to meet you all," Usagi smiled as she looked at all of them. They continued to stare at her, which unnerved her. "Nani?" she asked.
"Well, it's just... what I mean is..." Tentomon struggled to find the right words.
"We've never digivolved before without our human partners," Biyomon cut in.
"Digivolved?" Usagi questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Umm... you're still glowing," Gomamon pointed out.
"Soo ka?" Usagi asked as she glanced at herself. "I guess I am." She giggled, embarrassed as the glow stopped when she put her necklace back on. "I wonder how that happened..." she mused. The blue digivice which had been floating in the air dropped to the ground with a thud.
Agumon picked it up curiously and studied it. "This looks like Daisuke's," he commented.
"Do you know him?" Usagi asked eagerly. "I was trying to find him earlier. That is his."
"Of course we know him," said Palmon. "He's a digidestined."
"That brings me back to my other question. What does digivolve mean? And what exactly is a digidestined?"
"Well, digivolve is when we move to our higher level," answered Gabumon.
"Like when you were Garurumon and WereGarurumon?" asked Usagi.
"Hai," he replied. "A digidestined is one who is chosen to bear a digivice and can enter the digital world."
"So does that mean I'm a digidestined?" asked Usagi, puzzled.
"I'm not sure," Gabumon answered truthfully.
"I still want to know how I digivolved without Sora," repeated Biyomon.
Usagi's eyes lighted up. "Did you say Sora? As in Sora Takenouchi?" she inquired.
"Hai. Why?"
"She was one of my friends when I lived in Highton View Terrace," Usagi replied.
"Anyways," said Gabumon. "I think we were able to digivolve because of Usagi," he told his friends.
"Are you sure she's not a digidestined?" asked Tentomon.
"I'm still not sure," Gabumon repeated.
"Maybe it's because of her necklace," suggested Agumon. "That's what was glowing the most when we were able to digivolve. May we see it?"
"Of course," Usagi answered as she took it off. She held it in her palm while the rookie digimon gathered around her from the front.
"Look! There's the crest of love on there!" Biyomon exclaimed as she pointed to one of the symbols on the band.
"There's Sincerity!" Palmon added.
"And Reliability!" Gomamon said as well.
"There's Intelligience," Tentomon pointed out.
"I see Courage," Agumon commented. "There's also Hope and Light."
"That big sapphire above the diamond is shaped like the crest of Friendship," added Tentomon as he turned to Gabumon. "Do you know what the other signs are?"
"Iie," the striped digimon replied.
Usagi put the necklace back on her neck, while fingering the ring nervously. "What does this all mean?" she questioned.
"Well, the crests were destroyed a long time ago," informed Agumon. "And that digivolving stage you just saw was what we digivolved into with our friends' crests. Maybe they're back."
Usagi picked up the blue digivice without replying. Just as she did that, it disappeared. "Okay... that was weird," she commented. Then she turned back to face the digimon. 'And this isn't?' her mind asked.
* * * * *
Chibimon suddenly got a weird feeling as he gazed at his human partner. Suddenly, a blue flash of light enveloped the in-training digimon, making him gasp in surprise. "Whoa! What's happening? Daisuke!" he exclaimed.
"Chibimon!" said Daisuke. "Why are you glowing?!"
"I don't know."
"That's strange," commented Koushiro.
The light faded to reveal the dazed digimon holding Daisuke's blue digivice. "How'd that get there?" Daisuke wondered. "I thought I had it on me all this time..."
Sora had run to the towels to get a drink of water when she saw all their digivices blink one last time before stopping. "Oh no..." she whispered. "You guys!" she yelled. "Get over here!"
The others rushed towards her. "What is it, Sora-san?" asked Hikari.
"All our digivices were beeping!" exclaimed Sora. "Then it stopped altogether."
"That means Agumon and the others were probably in trouble," Taichi said. "We better check on them."
"Hai," everyone agreed.
"Use my laptop, minna," said Koushiro.
"Okay! Lets go!" Takeru exclaimed as they all stood in front of his laptop. "Digiport open!"
The digidestined were sucked into the screen to find themselves back in the familiar Digital World milieu. Their beach clothes had been replaced with the usual ones that they wore. They walked towards the sounds of loud voices.
"I'll go ahead!" Takeru said. Before anyone could protest, he ran forward with Patamon. As they stopped by the trees that ended at a clearing, they heard a musical laugh. 'That laugh...' thought Takeru. He walked forward hesitantly, hope beginning to shine in his eyes. It increased even more as he saw a blonde teenager talking to his digimon friends.
"Oneesan!"
The girl stiffened and turned around slowly. Her eyes widened in surprise as they fell upon him and Patamon. They began to hold an unreadable emotion as the two just continued to stare at each other. "Takeru..." she said. Then Usagi whirled around and ran.

"Chibimon!" said Daisuke. "Why are you glowing?!"
