A/N- Second part. I'd like to take this chance to answer some questions from the reviews of the last part. First. This story is about the original digidestined, okay? In case you're wondering, the Kendo student's teacher, Mr. Hida, is basically Cody's grandpa. Why? Because I want him to be. Second, my contest is posted in the digimon forum. Check it out, I'd like to see people enter. And third, this is a message for Ducky.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME MORE LINES IN THE CREST OF MIRACLES!!!!!!!!
Have a nice day.
Now, on with da show.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ishida. What are you doing here?"
The question hung in the air, waiting for a reply. A reply that fell from the lips of one Mark Ishida.
"I have no smeggin' idea. One moment, I'm on my way home, the next, here."
The boy with the bag looked back and forth between Ishida and the boy with the goggles for a moment. "Sooo....You two know each other. That's nice. Who in the name of God are you people?"
The boy in black stepped forward. "Oh! Forgive me for not introducing myself. I am Mitsukai Shinjin. These two-" He indicated the boy and the girl next to him "-are Ryuu Kamiya and his sister Rei."
"Pleased to meet you. I'm Saishi Tenmou."
The Kendo student said, "I'm Mark Ishida."
Before they could say anything else, there was a rustling in the bushes. Mark quickly turned to face the source of the sound, unlimbering his Kendo stick. Before he could do more than drop into a guard position, five small shapes burst out of the foliage.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!"
The small...things were all happily screaming at the top of their high-pitched, squeaky voices. The overall effect was rather startling, rather like dropping into a pit full of squeaky dog toys. Each of the small things dashed up to one of the children in particular.
One that looked somewhat like a cross between a soccer ball and a parakeet happily dashed-or rather, bounced-up to Rei. It was green and had little tiny wings. *
One that looked like a cross between a cat's head and an ostrich egg landed at Saishi's feet. If someone had given a Hello Kitty key chain legs and doubled it's size, it would look like the thing that was at his feet.
What looked like a lion cub with spikes on its feet, back, and tail bounded over to Ryuu and twined itself around his legs.
A small, ball like creature that seemed to be nothing but horns and teeth landed at Mark's feet.
Finally, a sea horse like creature floated through the air and stopped just in front of Mitsukai.
The next words were spoken by all of the children at the same time.
"What are you?"
The reply was deafening.
~~~~~~ Some Time Later ~~~~~~
After everything had been sorted out, the five children and the little creatures that refused to leave them were all sitting down in a semi-circle. They were once again introducing themselves. They had finished with introducing themselves to the things. Now, it was the things turn to introduce themselves.
The green, feathered ball said, "I'm Nyokomon! I'm here to protect you, Rei!"
Rei said, "That's...nice."
The disembodied Hello Kitty head piped up with, "I'm Onamon! I belong with Saishi!"
"Super! I always wanted a pet."
The floating sea horse said, "I'm Enzemon. Mitsukai, I shall always be with you."
"Great. I've got a sea horse for a new best friend."
Enzemon blinked. "What's a sea horse?"
"Never mind. Now, you with the teeth. Who're you?"
Instead of answering, the small bundle of fangs looked at Mark doubtfully, like he was seeking permission. Mark nodded. "I'm Pururumon. Unlike all of the others here, I'm a Virus, not a Data or a Vaccine."
"Vi...rus? Data? Vaccine? What're those?"
"Save it for later."
The spiked lion cub cleared his throat rather noisily. Ryuu slapped him on the back. "What's the matter? Got something caught in your throat?"
"No. May I speak?"
"Go ahead. We can't stop you."
"I am DemiLeomon. I protect Ryuu."
"Cool. I have a lion cub."
Before anymore could be said, a loud crashing sound was heard. An enormous skeletal dragon burst out of the forest.
Onamon gasped, "That's Skulldramon! An undead digimon of the nastiest type! Watch out for his Bone Dance attack!"
The dragon lifted his skeletal head and roared. It was the sound of the grave, coming up to swallow them.
Before the children could do anything, the small creatures leaped up. "Don't worry! We'll protect you!"
The children watched as their self-proclaimed protectors attacked the gigantic dragon. Cries of Bubble Blow filled the air.
Skulldramon swept his gigantic tail at the small beings, knocking all but DemiLeomon out of the way. That digimon, having a larger body and more feet than the others, nimbly avoided the blow. He backed up a few paces and the spikes on his feet, back and tail started to glow. "Lion Spikes!"
A barrage of energy projectiles started to shoot out of the spikes on his back. When they smashed into Skulldramon, he shrugged them off, but not easily. After the attack was done, Skulldramon opened his mouth and said, "Bone Dance!"
The numerous flying bones all crashed into DemiLeomon, knocking him back. With a cry, Ryuu ran to the side of the small creature. As he looked around, he saw the others had already done the same thing with theirs. They may not be human, but they're people. And they got hurt protecting us. he thought.
DemiLeomon looked at him through one slitted eye. "Sorry, Ryuu...I failed..."
"Don't say that, DemiLeomon! You did a good job!"
Ryuu could hear similar conversations going on between the others. Before he could do anything else, though, four rays of rainbow colored light shot up out of the earth.*
They completely engulfed Pururumon, Enzemon, Nyokomon, and Onamon. From the center of those pillars of light came voices.
"Pururumon digivolve to...Pokumon!"
"Enzemon digivolve to...Hydromon!"
"Nyokomon digivolve to...Sylphmon!"
"Onamon digivolve to...Nekomon!"
As the pillars of light cleared, it was clear to see that their friends had changed. Pururumon now stood on four legs, and had scaly green skin. His teeth were still there. He looked much like DemiLeomon, otherwise.
Enzemon had turned into a medium sized blue dolphin-dog crossbreed. Nyokomon now resembled a large, slender bundle of green feathers. She had a yellow beak and her head was covered in blue feathers.
Onamon had become a small, grey cat. His tail was at least three times the length of his body, and his ears were so large they resembled sails.
In the meantime, DemiLeomon was back on his feet. The five not-quite-so-small creatures stood in front of the children in a line. DemiLeomon said, "If you want to hurt them, you'll have to go through us. Come on, guys! Let's take out this overgrown corpse!"
"Kitty Power!"
"Pure Hurricane!"
"Salvation Flood!"
"DarkFang Shot!"
"Lion Spikes!"
Nekomon's eyes flashed and rays of force shot out of them.
Sylphmon waved her wings and a small hurricane formed between them, streaking out towards Skulldramon.
Hydromon jumped into the air and released a powerful wave of water with his tail.
Pokumon shot a beam of dark energy out of his mouth.
DemiLeomon once more shot a barrage of energy spikes from his back.
The five attacks smashed into Skulldramon with stunning force. He quickly retreated, seeing that to eat the humans would take him more effort than he wanted to expend.
The five humans stared in shock. There was some silence before Ryuu spoke up. "All right! You guys are the coolest!"
A/N- I bet you have some questions. First off, I'd like to tell you what the asterisks are for. It's simple. They're reminders for me. The first one's a reminder to tell you that Nyokomon looks like a green version of Poromon. The second is to remind me to tell you two things. First, the reason that only four beams of light burst out of the ground was simple: DemiLeomon was already a Rookie, and he's not supposed to digivolve to Champion yet. The second thing is this: The reason they burst out of the ground is because of David Eddings. If you've ever read his Malloreon series, you'll probably remember Beldin once saying, "They always fall out of the sky. Just once, I'd like to see something come out of the ground." That's why they burst out of the ground. See ya next time, all right?
