"My crest..." Gina said, weakly, looking at it. She stood up slowly. She was shocked.
But she quickly recovered. "Jagonomon!" she shouted.
Jagonomon's white mane and tail grew longer as she grew taller, with the colors of
the rainbow covering up the white. White covered up the light pink that was the color of
her body. Metal covered up her legs and eyes like shields, and her bright blue eyes quickly opened up. Stars swarmed her back, forming wings. They exploded, showing off the great feathers. A crescent moon came up and surrounded her neck, like a necklace.
"That's Equelemon," Gina said, smiling. "I've heard about her from Kokamon.
Even though Garudamon commands the sky, Equelemon commands the space of stars
around Digiworld. A real space-cadet, I guess. Her main attack is the Rainbow Comet
Shower."
"So, you finally found your crest," said Matt. "Well, that's not gonna stop us.
WereGarurumon!"
"As you can see, you're Digimon is back to Ultimate. Mine can easily battle you.
Go, Equelemon!"
"Rainbow Comet Shower!" Her voice filled the air as she flew above
WereGarurumon. Her long rainbow-colored tail shot comets of every color of the
rainbow at the Digimon.
"Wolf Claw!" WereGarurumon shouted, as he tried to block the attack. He failed,
and de-digivolved back to Tsunomon. Equelemon didn't have any luck either. She
de-digivolved to Shonamon, her In-Training form.
Everybody looked dead to the world. Except for Gina and Matt. Growling, he
lunged at Gina, throwing her to the ground. She sprang up, kicking him in the stomach.
He fell back, clutching his stomach. He ran into her until she was up against a rock. He pulled his fist up, just about to strike....
But he didn't.
'Why can't I punch her?' He wondered. He looked at her worried face with
confused eyes. 'Come on, I can do it. Ever since we met, she's been Little Miss Perfect One with perfection in her life. She never cared about how I felt. She's like the female version of Tai.' He quickly regained his evilness and lifted his fist, ready to strike her.
"Matt, don't..." she said, tears welling up in her eyes.
He aimed his fist right to her nose, when she blocked it with her hand. "It's me,
Matt. It's Gina. I'm your friend," she said, calmly, trying not to choke.
He sneered. "I have no friends. You were always there for me, all right. You
were always there for me when I was upset, and you needed someone to brag to about
one of your many awards for school and music and stuff."
"Matt...you're not alone. You have friends, and you were always there for me.
I'm grateful because of that. Remember that day I moved into the apartment two doors
away from you?"
~~~~~~~~~~~Memory Flashback~~~~~~~~~~
Gina was sitting in her living room, kneeling before a box, unpacking her stuff.
Tears trickled down her cheeks as she looked around her new home. Her parents were
out, getting groceries in the city. She was unpacking a softball, when she couldn't take it
anymore.
"I hate this!" she yells. "Why did I have to come here? I wanna go back home! I
hate this!" She throws the ball out the door, when a boy about her age is about to knock
on the door.
"Whoa!" he says, catching the ball. "What are you doin' playing softball indoors?"
He gave a little laugh, and threw it back to her. She caught it with no trouble at all. He
was impressed. "Good catch."
"Thanks," she said, wiping the tears away. She looked up with him. He had a
cool head of blonde hair, dark fitted jeans, brown boots, and a green sleeveless turtleneck.
His eyes were a dark azure that had a friendly sparkle to them.
"I'm Matt," he says, sitting next to her.
She sniffs, still sad about moving. "I'm Gina," she manages to say.
"You just moved in?"
"Yeah...But I want to go back home. My dad got transfered. So that's why I'm
here in this place." Her eyes got watery again. "I thought it would be okay. But I didn't
realize how much I was going to miss home until I arrived here." She pulled her knees up
to her chest. "I don't know my way around the city. And I'm afraid I won't make any
new friends at all at Odaiba Academy."
"You're going to the academy? That's cool. I go to the elementary school. But I
could still introduce you to some people. And I could show you around the city if you
like."
"Really?" She looks at him dubiously. What would a cool-looking guy want with
a girl like her?
"Yup," he says. "We can go to the ball park, too." He eyes the baseball bat and
softball.
"Okay...but one suggestion," says Gina.
"What?"
She moves to an open box on the other side of the room with great speed and
swings a fast-ball at him. It nearly misses his head, but he catches it.
"We have to use the baseball, not the softball." She grins at him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Memory Flashback Ends~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You were my first friend, Matt," she said choking on her tears, holding both of
his hands. He was still glaring at her, his eyes narrowed. She was looking at him with
pleading eyes. "So please. Return to your normal self. I can't stand to see you like this." She fell on her knees, still looking up at him with mourning tears. "Come back to me," she whispered weakly.
The eight crests glowed together from the unconscious Digidestined. The signs of
courage, love, knowledge, sincerety, reliability, hope, and light came together and entered Matt's tag. Gina's Crest of Mercy glowed, and it's sign moved toward his crest as well. A rainbow surrounded him as the others and their Digimon quickly revived. The rainbow stopped. Then, all of a sudden, the Crest of Friendship glowed brilliantly as it had never glowed before.
Matt's eyes blinked, as if he were snapped out of a trance. "Gina?" he whispered
weakly. "Is that really you?"
"Matt!" she exclaimed with happy tears. "Guys! Matt's okay! He finally returned
to normal!" She flung her arms around him.
They all crowded around him, yelling and cheering, and giving him hugs. T.K.
jumped into his arms and Matt spun him around, while T.K was laughing happily. He put him down and Tsunomon bounced up. Matt caught him and gave him a hug, his eyes filled with tears.
"Matt," said Tai.
"Tai...," he put Tsunomon down and walked over to him. "All of you. I'm sorry.
Sora, Kari, Joe, Izzy, Mimi, T.K," he patted his little brother on the head. "Gina, I'm so
sorry. Thank you."
She smiled at him, holding Shonamon in her arms.
"Tai...dude, those things I said to you? I didn't really mean them. I didn't know
what got into me."
"No hard feelings," Tai said quickly.
"No....I mean, what I said were true," Matt replied, feeling awkward. "I mean, I
don't mind you being sorta the leader and all, but what I said was an exaggeration, so,
like, I mean-"
"Hey!" Tai said, laughing. "I said no hard feelings." He held up his hand.
"Friends?"
He slapped it. "Buddies 'till the end, Tai."
But she quickly recovered. "Jagonomon!" she shouted.
Jagonomon's white mane and tail grew longer as she grew taller, with the colors of
the rainbow covering up the white. White covered up the light pink that was the color of
