Dark Mirror
Chapter 8
Hawaiian Island Kauai
4:20 P.M. Local Time
"Alex go inside." Helen said to her son.
"But mom." protested Alex
"Go inside." insisted Helen. He complied and she watched him until he was well away in the house. She then turned around quickly with one of her hands giving off a greenish blue tint as she went into a sort of fighting stance. "I don't know who you are but I won't let you hurt my son or my husband. Sia Chop!" Helen said as she jumped into the air with amazing speed and came down with her hand right at Nathan and the others. They made it out of the way, but just barely and with shocked expressions on their faces.
"Your a, a digimon!" gasped Nathan as she got ready to attack again.
"Of course I'm a digimon, why else would you be here?" Helen asked sharply as she prepared to strike again.
"Well we..." started Nathan
"Enough. Like I said, I will not allow you to hurt my husband or my son. Siaon Strike!" Helen yells as she jumps into the air coming down with one foot extended as it also glows the same greenish blue tint of her hand. As she continues down she begins spinning until her form is nothing but a blur. She also is headed strait for Nathan and as he sees this he acts quickly.
"Awe crap!" He yells as he quickly pulls out his sword and holds it in between him and Helen with one hand on the hilt and the other at the end of the blade. Her foot comes in contact with the blade just as he puts it up causing a numerous amounts of sparks to fly. The look on Nathan's face shows that he is struggling hard to keep her attack at bay, but he eventually loses as her attack hits home causing him to go flying back from the force.
"Nathan!" Shouted both Erin and Jen as he landed just off shore in the shallow water.
"So if he was the knight then you two must be Mages." said Helen as she turned to face Jen and Erin.
"Mages? What are you talking about." Stated Jen somewhat confused.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about." Helen retorted quite angrily.
"Well I don't know what she's talking about, and even if I'm not the happiest with Nathan right now I'm not going to let her getaway with hurting anyone." said Erin
"Right, if only we had our blades." agreed Jen
"Well we don't. Elemental Control?" Erin asked with a quirked eyebrow to Jen.
"Elemental Control." agreed Jen with a nod.
"Enough talk, if you are with him then I must also deal with you." Helen said as she prepared to attack again.
"Okay. Deal with this!" Erin shouted as her and Jen both leapt into the air and hovered above Helen with their arms stretched out.
"Mage's can't do that." stated Helen in shock as she saw Fire forming at the ends of Jen's hands and Ice crystals forming at the ends of Erin's hands.
"Elemental Fire!" called out Jen as she quickly brings her hands together and sends a stream of fire strait at Helen.
"Elemental Ice!" called out Erin as she performs a similar action sending down a stream of ice at Helen.
Helen is still in too much shock over what she had seen that as the attacks come down at her she can't even move away from them. As they hit, Helen can be heard giving off a scream as she is surrounded in smoke. As the smoke clears she is lying in a small scorched crater, not moving but still very much alive.
Erin walks over to the small crater and looks down on her. Jen walks over a few seconds later supporting Nathan on her shoulder.
"We may have a lot of special powers, but we're still only human." Nathan says as he begins clutching his right arm, "And that kick hurt."
"Oh don't be a baby." commented Erin as the other two gave her a look. A moan was heard from the crater as Helen began to regain consciousness.
"What kind of mutated digimon are you?" asked Helen as she sat up.
"Mutated digimon?" questioned Nathan and Jen. Erin just snapped back.
"What'd ya mean mutated digimon? We're Humans not digimon, we should be asking you the same question. As a matter of fact, what kinda mutated Human are you? Hmm?" asked Erin quite pushily as she got in Helen's face.
"I'm not a human I'm a Holjemon." exclaimed Helen getting back in Erin's face.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah?"
"OH YEAH!"
"YEAH!"
"Light Binds!" called out Nathan as he threw what appeared to be a glowing card as it suddenly turned into a glowing rope which wrapped around Erin to keep her from moving.
"Thanks, now I can really give her a beating." stated Helen as she approached Erin.
"I don't think so. Light Binds!" said Jen as she suddenly formed a glowing card in her had and threw it at Helen trapping her in the same glowing rope as Erin.
"What's the meaning of this? Let me go, let me go!" screamed Helen and Erin in unison.
"We're not letting you go until the both of you calm down." stated Nathan as the two both continued to struggle. After a few minutes, however, they began to tire and eventually calmed down. "That's better." said Nathan as he and Jen both snapped their fingers and the light ropes disappeared. "Now maybe if we can all act like civilized people we can get answers to all of our questions."
"Starting with why you attacked us?" Jen asked directing her question to Helen.
"It's..it's hard to explain." said Helen now somewhat shyly.
"Try us?" asked Nathan reassuringly.
"I thought you were members of my kind come to take me back to the Digital World." stated Helen
"Well I think it's pretty obvious now that we're not." said Jen trying to imitated Nathan's reassuring tone.
"Yes, it is. And I'm sorry for attacking you." apologized Helen
"Humph." grunted Erin as she turned and started walking away.
"Erin I know I'm already in hot water with you but don't make me regret bringing you on this mission." Nathan said over his shoulder causing Erin to stop walking away but it still didn't improve her attitude.
"Now who exactly are you?" asked Jen
"Well like I already told you my name is Helen, but I'm not a human. I'm a digimon, a Holjemon to be precise, when you came here asking questions about the Digital World I jumped to the conclusion that you had come to punish me for not returning to the digital world five years ago." explained Helen
"You mean that when all the other digimon were sucked through the Digi-Ports you weren't affected?" asked Jen
"Yes, but that's not exactly what I meant. You see my people have the ability to move freely between the two worlds due to the technology we have created. I know it seems strange that digimon would create technology but my kind is quite different from most digimon, mine and the other Chi Cells." said Helen
"Wait a minute. Chi Cells?" asked Nathan
"Yes, Chi Cells. You've never heard of us?" asked Helen
"Well, no." said Nathan
"Then again we have been out of the digiworld loop for a couple millennia." commented Jen of handedly.
"What do you mean millennia? Humans cannot live that long, I've learned that living here in your world. And besides, you couldn't have been around when my kind was created because there were no humans in the digital world when we were created." said Helen
"Well for your information we were." sneered Erin
"Erin, quiet." demanded Nathan
"Humph, I'll be at the ship." Erin said quite angrily as she stormed off back towards the Streaker.
"Ship? Who are you?" asked Helen, now quite confused.
"Have you ever heard of the Digital Guardians?" asked Nathan
"Of course, the story of the Digital Guardians is a popular bed time story where I come from. But they are only a myth, why do you ask?" asked Helen, now even more confused.
"I hope you believe me when I say that we are no myth." said Nathan with a smile.
"You? B-but no, no that's not possible." stuttered Helen in disbelief.
"Do any of your myths talk about the Guardians' crests and what they look like?" asked Jen
"Of course, the crests of Clarity, Loyalty, Peace, and Energy. And we all new what they looked like." stated Helen
"Then what crests are these?" asked Nathan as he and Jen pulled their crests out from under their shirts.
"I ... I don't believe it." gasped Helen after easily recognizing the two crests, the crests of Energy and Clarity.
"Look, I know you probably have a lot of questions right now and frankly I don't blame you. But right now I need you to answer some of ours. Do you think you can do that?" Nathan asked the stunned women.
"I ... I think so." stuttered Helen
"Good, now you were telling us about how your people came to be." said Nathan
"Oh ... well, it all began over ten thousand years ago, digital years of course. It started when a small group of digital humans..." started Helen
"Wait a minute, Gennai's people? The Order." clarified Nathan
"Yes that's it. That's what they were called. Like I said, it started with a small group, this group had studied the ways that digimon learned and used their attacks. Eventually they learned to use some of the attacks themselves. However, this new development did not sit well with the rest of their people. Eventually it led to their banishment from the rest of their kind. But even with banishment their spirits were not dampened and their belief in good remained strong. They decided that with these new abilities that they would use them to defeat dark digimon that threatened the digital world. For many years they continued in this quest, they even managed to expand their numbers and fine-tune their abilities to the point where they centered around five distinct areas. The areas were fire, ice, wind, earth, and psyonics. In their quest they succeeded in destroying many evil digimon and settled even more numerous local disputes, but it wasn't until they came upon one digimon that was completely different from any other that they had ever faced. No one knows what this digimon was called because it was never referred to by name but it is know what digimon it eventually digivolved into." explained Helen as she paused for a moment.
"What digimon did it digivolve into?" asked Jen curiously.
"It eventually digivolved into the Dark Master known as Piedmon." said Helen with a shiver. "When the group, who by that time had come to call them selves the Chi, came to battle and defeat him, they were defeated as if they were nothing. None of their attacks had any effects on him, plus they lost many of their own to his dark powers. However he was not stupid, he knew that if he could turn them to his dark ways that they would make valuable servants. So he created a virus that he used to convert the members of the Chi to his side, but luckily it did not work, so he altered his virus to take away the part of them that made them different from the digimon. The result was that the remaining members of the Chi where split into five different Rookie level digimon. Upon this happening he released his original virus to again try to turn the new digimon to his dark ways, but again he found that this did not work. So he used his dark powers to scatter the new digimon to the far corners of the digital world. This was how the Chi Cells became separated from one another."
"Humph. It figures. From what Tai and the others have told me only Piedmon could be so twisted as to do something like that." commented Nathan
"No doubt." agreed Jen
"You said that Piedmon, split the Chi into Rookie digimon. No offence if I'm wrong but you don't strike me as a Rookie." said Nathan
"That's because I'm not a Rookie, I am of the Ultimate level. You see the five Rookie digimon were basically split along the five areas of which the Chi practiced. They were the Firechimon, Earthchimon, Snowchimon, Windchimon, and the last line of which I belong to, the Hunechimon." explained Helen "You see we all appear roughly similar in appearance in the fact that we all retain the human like appearance of the Digital Humans. However, from cell to cell their are variations. The Firechimon and their entire line all have a red color to their appearance. They inhabit the Fire Wire islands that are located in the Southern Data Line Sea. The Earthchimon, and their line, have a brownish appearance; they live in a vast array of subterranean tunnels and cities. They also have a unique talent to be able to dig anything, and I mean anything. The Snowchimon all have a white appearance. They live in a collection of hidden villages in the far north, about where Alaska is on Earth. They also tend to be somewhat isolationists. The Windchimon are somewhat different, instead of living on the surface of the digital world they live high above it. They started out on the several floating islands above the digital world but when their population grew to large they expanded into floating cities and other similar structures that my people had helped them create. Their skin and their entire appearance is of shades of green and they also tend to be very agile. And lastly there is my line, the Hunechimon. We are the most human like of all the cells. We appear just like any normal humans, we have no color scheme like the others and we come in every color and variation as any human can." finished Helen
"But where do your people live? On Earth?" asked Jen
"Oh sorry I forgot that part, no my people don't live on Earth. My people live in the high mountains that exist on the southern continent of Terminal. The reasons no one has ever found us before is because we had developed stealth technology that kept us hidden but also we use special technologies to travel to Earth and back." explained Helen
"So in other words your people live in the digital world but spend a lot of time here on Earth." said Nathan
"We did until five years ago, when the Overlords conquest began. When the first attacks began all Holjemon were recalled to fight in the war against the Overlord. But..." said Helen
"But you basically dodged your peoples draft. I guess that explains why you attacked us, you thought we were your people come to pass judgment on you for what you've done." said Jen
"Yes, but I could not have left even if I had wanted to. I have a life, a family hear in the real world and I couldn't have just left that on a whim." said Helen trying to defend her actions.
"You don't have to defend your self to us, we know exactly what you mean. We had to make a decision just like that when we chose to become the Guardians, we had to leave behind a lot of people we loved, but we did it because we knew it was the right thing to do. Now I assume Kaui knows of your, unique past, but what about your son?" asked Nathan
"No, but I'm afraid he will soon." answered Helen
"What do you me?" asked Jen
"Well technique he is a Hunechimon, but due to the fact that he is half human he has not experienced the same growth rate as a normal Hunechimon. You see it will normally take five to ten years, sometimes more, for a Hunechimon to digivolve to champion. Once they do the appear to be about thirteen, that's why I'm worried because Alex's thirteenth birthday is coming soon and he will most likely achieve his champion level then." explained Helen
"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll be fine with it even when you tell him. After all he'll probably think it's cool being half digimon." reassured Jen
"You're probably right, he was a big fan of the other digimon before." said Helen with a smile as Jen extended her hand to help her up off the beach where she had been sitting the whole time.
"Helen? You out there?" came a voice from the direction of the house.
"It's Kaui." said Helen as a man a few inches taller than her came up to her side. He had rough somewhat spiked golden blond hair, sea blue eyes, and a dark tan.
"There you are. Who are your friends?" asked Kaui as he slipped his hand around Helen's waist.
"Oh, I'm sorry. In all the time we've been talking I didn't get your names." said Helen
"Of course, how rude of us. My name is Nathan Pepper of Guardian Forces Incorporated and this is my friend and associated Jen Donel." said Nathan "We actually came here to discuss something very important with you Mr. Mawe."
"Please just call me Kaui." interrupted Kaui
"Of course Kaui, anyway, since you weren't here we ended up having an interesting conversation with your wife." finished Nathan
"Oh really." Kaui said somewhat suspicious as he eyed his wife's expression. "Alright spill it. Who are you really?"
"Well at least he ain't as thick headed as Davis." commented Jen
"I assure you Kaui I am exactly who I say I am, plus a little more." Nathan said ignoring Jen's comment all together. "And if you need any more proof that we are trustworthy than here." With that he pulled out his golden digivice and showed it to Kaui.
"A digivice." said Kaui in shock.
"Wait a go Nathan, ya killed him." joked Jen as she waived a hand in front of the still shocked Kaui's face.
"What is it that you needed to ask me?" asked Kaui as he came out of shock.
"We need to ask of your help. I assume you know of the threat of the Overlord, well he has taken over a great deal of the digital world and now he is threatening to take over this world. We need your help in defeating him." said Nathan
"I can't." said Kaui, everyone including Helen was in shock.
"What, what do you mean you can't?" asked Jen
"If I get involved it would endanger my family, and that's something I can't do." stated Kaui
"Look, I understand that. I really do, but we need your help. With you and the other first digidestined's digimon being able to reach mega we could really use your help. Especially if what we think about the Overlord is true." said Nathan trying to convince him.
"What do you think of the Overlord?" asked Helen curiously.
"We think he could be under the control of someone else, possibly a very powerful digimon." explained Nathan
"Look I told you I can't help." said Kaui, Nathan was about to respond when Erin's voice was heard.
"Nathan! We gotta problem." said Erin as she came running up to them.
"What is it?" asked Nathan
"The Streaker's sensors just picked up a Digi-Port opening near by." explained Erin
"But that's impossible." stated Jen
"Mom, Dad." came Alex's voice "Look what just appeared in front of the house." He said as he reached them. They all run around the house and are greeted with the sight of a large black monolith some ways down the street.
"What is it?" asked Helen
"A control spire." stated Nathan in shock.
"But how did it get here?" asked Jen
"It musta came threw the Digi-Port." realized Erin
"And that can only mean that the Overlord is up to something here. We have to stop him." said Nathan as he took off running towards the control spire.
"But what do we do?" asked Helen as Erin took right off after Nathan.
"You have to stay here and protect your family Helen. We'll take care of this." reassured Jen as she then took off, literally, flying as she went to catch up with Nathan and Erin.
"That's cool." said Alex as he saw her flying away.
"So what are we going to do?" asked Jen who had now landed and was running next to Nathan.
"It's simple, since I'm the only one with a weapon I'll go for the control spire while you guys try and help the digimon with dark rings." said Nathan explaining his plan.
"Why don't you just use the Twin Sword, that would at least give one of us a weapon too." said Erin
"You know the Twin Sword only works with Tunskmon. It wouldn't work with you two because your not tied, to me with a digivice." explained Nathan
"Don't worry Nathan, we'll take care of the digimon." assured Jen
"Good." said Nathan as they continued towards the control spire.
----------------------------
"So these are the Guardians? I must say they don't appear to be much of a challenge." said the Overlord as he watched Nathan, Erin, and Jen running towards the spire on one of his screens.
"I assure you Overlord, that they are not to be taken lightly. In the old times they foiled many of my own plots for conquest." said BlackKnightmon as he stood next to the Overlords thrown.
"They're humans, and oh wow one of them has a sword. Come on, how much trouble can they be?" asked the Overlord sarcastically.
"Even with out their digimon they are some of the most powerful fighters in both worlds and the one with the sword, he is the most powerful of the all. I have seen him destroy champion digimon, who have been infused with the greatest of dark power, with ease. All these things he has done with out a single ounce of help from his partner digimon." as BlackKnightmon said this the Overlords face took on a brief expression of worry, but it quickly faded as his over confidence took hold again. "And worse of all his skill with a blade is unmatched, even by myself. The only way I have beaten him is threw sheer power."
"And I'm suppose to believe that?" asked the Overlord in a cocky tone.
"If you do not now then you will soon, just watch the battle and it will prove everything I have said. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a battle of my own to fight." said BlackKnightmon before he faded away into the darkness.
"I wish he would stop doing that. Anyway, let me just see what type of fools these Guardians are." scoffed the Overlord as he turned his attention back to the screens just in time to see Nathan jump strait into the air while destroying the dark ring on the digimon in his path. "What!"
------------------------------
As Nathan lands, after destroying the dark ring on the Monochromon that he had jumped over, he sees the girls go in opposite directions. Jen using her elemental powers, with Erin using a combination of her powers and glowing cards. That's right girls keep them busy while I take care of that control spire. They only thing is that nice little trio in front of me. The little trio was a group of Musyamon, while most digimon would require dark rings Musyamon tended to be ones that could work for either side as indicated by only two of them wearing dark rings. Lets see here, that one with out the ring is probably the leader, but that means I still have to deal with his lakies. Oh well these two Celestial Light cards should take care of the controlled ones while I take care of the other. Nathan suddenly had two glowing cards in his hand, this time however there was a picture visible, it had the image of a golden ring with angel wings coming from it surrounded in a white light. "Celestial Light!" Nathan shouted as he tossed the two cards at the dark ringed digimon destroying the rings instantly.
"You still have to deal with me human! Shogun Sword!" shouted the remaining digimon as he leapt at Nathan with his sword drawn.
"Sorry but I don't have time for this. Energy Blade!" Nathan said as his sword suddenly glew golden. He swung his blade right threw Musyamon, and his sword, destroying him instantly but not before throwing back a Data Crystal to collect his data. I'll pick that up later.
"Well it looks like Nathan's taking care of his end." commented Jen as she destroyed another dark ring.
"Yeah, but did you see what he did to that Musyamon?" asked Erin as she joined Jen for a joint attack on a digimon.
"Don't worry, he collected his data so we can take him back to Primary Village later." said Jen as they split apart again.
"Now if I remember what Yolie told me one good slice threw the center of the control spire should destroy it, so." said Nathan out loud as his sword began glowing a bright golden color again, only it was much bright this time. "Energy Slash!" he said as he jumped strait in the air and swung his sword causing as slash of energy to fly directly at the control spire destroying it. The remaining dark rings fell off the digimon and Jen and Erin began to round them up to send them back to the digiworld when suddenly a scream was heard on the air.
"AHH! Help!"
"Alex!" exclaimed Nathan as he took off running back towards the house only this time about double the speed he was when running away.
"I didn't think we could run that fast in the real world?" said Jen in shock at Nathan's speed.
"You know what happens when his adrenalin gets pumping." said Erin as she continued rounding up the digimon. "Now come on, we have to get these digimon sent back and then we can help Nathan, you collect the Data Crystals."
"Right." agreed Jen as she went to work.
"You stay back." threatened Helen as her hands were both glowing with green energy.
"Well this was unexpected, a Holjemon in the real world. I thought all your people were call back five years ago?" questioned BlackKnightmon as he faced her with his sword drawn.
"Mom?" questioned Alex
"I'll explain later Alex, just get your father inside." ordered Helen, behind her was Alex with Kaui laying on the ground next to him with a large slash across his chest, obviously from BlackKnightmon's sword.
"How pathetic, a digimon bound to a human. And even without a digivice." mocked BlackKnightmon
"Shut up. I won't let you hurt them." said Helen as Alex had pulled Kaui farther away from the battle.
"Fine, then you shall die along side them." said BlackKnightmon as he lunged at her with his sword. After some fancy footwork she was above him and prepared to strike.
"Siaon Strike!" she yelled as she came down with full force on his shoulder, after which she landed behind him but his response to the attack was less than encouraging.
"Hm, that tickled." remarked BlackKnightmon, this remark caused Helens eyes to go wide. "Now, let me show you what a true attack is like. Black Sword!" At this his sword glew with dark energy as he swung it towards Helen, but she couldn't move, couldn't speak, couldn't think because of the shock she was still in. As his blade passed threw Helens place she was gone. "That was easier than I thought."
"I guess you didn't think hard enough then." commented Nathan as BlackKnightmon quickly turned to face him. Nathan was standing off to the side supporting Helen with his left arm and his sword with his right.
"Blast, you destroyed that control spire faster than I anticipated." remarked BlackKnightmon
"BlackKnightmon I may have been out of commission for a few eons but that doesn't mean that my abilities have decreased any." said Nathan as he sat Helen down off to the side. "Now what do you say we settle this by the blade?"
"Fine by me." said the dark knight as he positioned his sword for attack as Nathan did the same. Then BlackKnightmon attacked. "Dodge this Guardian. Black Sword." he yelled as his sword once again glew with dark energy.
"Not today, Energy Blade!" Nathan's own sword now possessed a golden glow and as they met sparks flew.
"You will never defeat me Guardian." sneered BlackKnightmon as he pressed his sword harder against Nathan's.
"I don't have to, I just have to delay you." replied Nathan threw gritted teeth as he used all his strength to keep the knights blade at bay.
"Delay me for who? Certainly not that pitiful excuse for a digimon called Stallionmon." remarked BlackKnightmon
"What did you do to him?" asked Nathan as his anger now allowed him to hold his struggle a little longer.
"Oh I took care of him a long time ago. Oh, sorry I forgot he was your friend." said BlackKnightmon with a sharper edge on his last words.
"You monster!" exclaimed Nathan in rage as he continued to press harder against the sword. Wait a minute Nathan keep that anger in check. That'd be fun trying to explain to Sora how you let your anger get the better of you.
"Are you angry Guardian?" asked BlackKnightmon mockingly
"Yes, but I won't let my anger control me." responded Nathan
"Oh no. BlackKnightmon." exclaimed Jen as she and Erin finally got to the fight.
"What are we going to do?" asked Erin
"I bet the Streaker's weapons would work." said Jen
"Yeah but it'd take too long to get there and back, and by that time Nathan might be dead." said Erin ending that plan. "Oh no."
"I won't let you win BlackKnightmon." said Nathan as a sudden pain went threw his right arm causing him to loose his pressure on the blade and sending him flying back from BlackKnightmon's attack.
"What was that about not letting me win Guardian?" mocked the knight as he approached Nathan with his sword out.
"If only I hadn't attacked him earlier his arm wouldn't have given out." pouted Helen to herself.
"Finally after so many years I will destroy you Guardian, and after you the rest of the pathetic digidestined." finished BlackKnightmon as he raised his sword and prepared to strike, but he was interrupted as several blasts of energy struck him strait in the chest causing him to fly backwards.
"What was that?" exclaimed Jen in shock because it wasn't her or Erin that did it.
"Look up there." said Erin as she pointed back in the direction the control spire had been.
"Woo-Hoo, the cavalry has arrived." exclaimed Jen as three D-12 fighters came swooping out of the sky while firing several more shots at BlackKnightmon.
"Blast you Guardians and your preparedness." exclaimed BlackKnightmon as he emerged from the smoke that surrounded him. "We will meet again Guardians, of that you can be sure." as he finishes his image slowly fades to that of a black shadow and then disappears all together.
One of the fighters lands not that far from Nathan and the others. It's pilot gets out and approaches them as Jen is helping Nathan up.
"Your Pepper?" asked the Pilot as he approached Nathan.
"Yes." answered Nathan.
"The president wants to speak with you." said the pilot as he handed Nathan a satellite radio and earpiece.
"Mr. President." Nathan said speaking into the radio. Meanwhile Helen had gone over to check on Kaui and Alex and had then come back over with them.
"Pepper! Do you know what's going on out here?" asked the President as his voice came threw the earpiece rather loud at first.
"What do you mean?" asked Nathan now confused.
"Where are you?" asked the President
"In Hawaii searching out one of the first digidestined, then I just had to take care of a control spire that popped up here." said Nathan into the sat. radio.
"Well Hawaii's not the only place, we've got control spires popping up all over as well as digimon. I've got every available fighter in the air trying to deal with this but it just isn't enough." said the President
"Don't worry Mr. President, I'll do what I can. Now are you safe?" asked Nathan
"Yes, I'm at Cheyenne." replied the President
"Good, stay there. I promise you Mr. President I'll do everything I can. Pepper Out." Nathan said as he turned off the radio and handed it back to the pilot. "You better get back to work pilot."
"Of course." said the pilot as he ran back to his plane and quickly took off with his fellow fighters.
"What's going on?" asked Helen
"The President just said there are control spires popping up everywhere. Jen, Erin I want you two to take the Streaker back to Japan and coordinate everything from there." said Nathan
"Right." said Erin as she quickly took off for the small ship.
"What about you?" questioned Jen
"Just leave my board and go." ordered Nathan
"Okay." replied Jen as she then followed Erin.
"Kaui I need to know now, are you going to help us or not?" asked Nathan quickly.
"I've changed my mind, I will help you but I'm going to need a little time to recover first." said Kaui as he held his now bandaged chest.
"Granted, and you better see a doctor about that. But what I need know is information on the other digidestined you fought with." said Nathan
"Of course, Alex go inside and get the computer running." said Kaui to his son who then ran in quickly. "I'll need some help getting to the house."
As they got to the house Kaui had an arm over each Nathan and Helen. They lead him over to the computer as he does his work. He transfers several files onto a disk and then hands it over to Nathan.
"This has all the info. on the others that you'll need." said Kaui
"Thanks. Sorry about how all this turned out and that I can't stay longer but." said Nathan
"I understand." said Kaui
"Right see ya." said Nathan as he runs out of the house. He runs down the beach to where the ship was and lying there on the sand is one of the flying boards and its control glove on top. Nathan quickly grabs the glove and puts it on as he steps on the board and takes off back towards Japan.
Tokyo, Japan - 30 Minutes Later
Outside of Digi Corps Main Building
The Guardian base is floating high above the parking lot firing its weapons at as many flying digimon as possible. Most of the digidestined were on the ground fighting the invading digimon with their own. However, no matter how many they destroyed more just kept coming, it seemed that the Overlord was trying to prove his power.
"I don't know how much longer we can keep this up." commented Ken who was at the weapons consol in the base's command deck.
"We just have to keep going for as long as possible." ordered Erin who was at the helm keeping the base in position.
"These weapon systems weren't designed for all out combat like this, and with no fighters in the area that can be spared I don't know how much longer we can keep this up." said Ken as he continued to fire the base's weapons.
"Sorry but I got more bad news." said Jen from the main Ops panel.
"Great, and without Nathan I can't do anything." commented Tunskmon who was sitting in one of the empty chair in the room.
"You know that isn't true because you can help around here in the meantime. Now what's the bad news Jen?" questioned Erin
"I've got more digimon coming in from the air, the computer registers most of them as Devidramon, but it also shows that their being led by a Devimon." explained Jen
Great. We can handle the Devidramon, but a Devimon? Nathan were are you. Thought Erin.
Davis Narrator: Now that's a good question. To find out you'll just have to...
Nathan: Wait a minute! Where'd you come from?
Davis Narrator: Well you see...
Nathan: Never mind, I don't want to know. I don't do narrators in this story, and besides this isn't even a Tamers story. Now get out. *Nathan is seen carrying the Davis narrator, by the shirt, over to a door.*
Davis Narrator: But...but...but
Nathan: No but now get out! *Nathan then kicks the Davis narrator right out of the building.* Alright now which one of you did this. *Tunskmon is seen over in a corner whistling innocently* Tunskmon?
Tunskmon: Erin made me do it.
Erin: I told you that you'd pay.
Nathan: Very funny, but I know that's not what you meant. *Nathan says then turns back to face the readers.* Sorry about that folks, now on to the authors notes.
[Author's Note] I bet your all wondering why I put that little skit at the end. Well for one I've seen other authors do similar things and so I wanted to try it out and second was that there was hardly any humor in this chapter at all and so I wanted to add a little at the end. Anyway, it probably won't happen again, unless I get a review from someone wanting me to do something like it again. Okay now on to the serious stuff. Now if I was supposed to capitalize control spire I'm sorry, I wasn't sure and so I just left it like that. All right, now a little complaint. I've had several reviews saying that this is a good fic, that I should keep going, and believe me I intend to. The problem is that I have see fics out there that have way more reviews than mine, and the thing is that they are either really short, or have no plot line at all. Tell me what's up with that, all I ask for is a few more reviews to at least tell me that more than a few people have read this story. Alright there, my complaints done. Now I hope you liked this chapter and I'll try not to take so long for the next one. Oh last thing, please go to my profile and check out Digital Preview, it has several stories that I have thought up and might consider continuing if you think they're good, thanks. As always please R&R. Oh, and Merry Christmas!
