THE LOST CREST-PART 3
It became dark quickly. The digidestined journeyed to an open field to rest. Tai and Matt built a campfire as the others laid out their sleeping bags and settled underneath the stars. They found it kind of hard because they had to work together to do it.
"Uh, Tai," Matt mumbled. "I wanna say that I'm sorry."
"I'm listening."
"You're right, you are the leader, you keep us together. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have tried to take your place. We shouldn't have fought on something like that." Matt sighed. "I went overboard. Maybe I was just tense after seeing Gennai die on us."
Tai was silent for a while and said, "apology accepted. I'm sorry too."
"Is your leg okay?" Matt asked apologetically. "I didn't break it again, did I?"
"No Matt, if you did break it, I would still be on the ground holding my leg." He winced and rubbed his leg. "It's all right, really. I could still play soccer if I wanted to."
"Are you sure? We can get Joe to wrap it."
"My leg should be fine tomorrow. Thanks anyway," he smiled and said, "pal."
Sensing a tender moment, Matt leaned over and grasped Tai's unchained hand with his. They gave each other a brotherly hug and a high five. "Friends again?" Matt asked.
"Hey, you know it." Tai grinned, "besides, you hold the crest of friendship, you should know how important a friend is."
"I'm also sorry for that time when we were kids and I tried to kill you." Matt almost started crying. "I don't' know what got in to me."
"It was a long time ago Matt. It's over, besides, you shouldn't have listened to Cherrymon anyway."
Matt laughed, "yeah, I should have chopped him up and used him for firewood!"
They laughed together and then looked at their chained hands. "T.K was right," Matt said, "cuffing our hands together did do us some good."
"You got a hell of a brother there, Matt."
Matt opened his mouth to say thank-you when T.K. walked over and said: "Thanks, Tai! I see you've learned your lesson!" he took the keys and removed the cuffs. "Just don't fight anymore, okay?"
Everyone had a hard time sleeping. They were concerned about the digiworld. They woke early and continued walking. Tai and Matt were still chained together.
"What the hell?" Matt cried. "Look!" he pointed to something floating in the sky. It was the alien's ship.
"Looks like we've got company!" Tai grunted.
The alien's ship landed right in front of them. The door opened and the alien walked out. Ninjamon was right. It did look human, but taller and stronger-looking. The alien was a male and he had silver skin. He had no hair. He wore a black suit-like piece of clothing that covered his body. He wore a cape. "I've heard of you. You're the ones called digidestined?" he said, without moving his mouth. He spoke telepathically.
"Yeah, what's it to ya?" Tai shouted.
"You won't be able to save this world. This is the first to go and then we'll go on to the next world."
"Try and stop us!" Sally challenged, "Who are you anyway?"
"We call ourselves, the Quardi, I'm their leader, Tezech. We come from the planet, Morik Our mission is to destroy the digiworld" (Tezech pronounced Tez-ek)
"Quardi….you sure it isn't Queer?" Matt mumbled under his breath.
"I've never heard such stupid words in my life!" Mimi shouted, "And I studied three different languages!"
"Well, Tezech," Tai shouted, taking a step forward. "We're the digidestined, I'm their leader Taichi Kamiya, we're from planet Earth and our mission is to save Digiworld!!"
"Yeah!" Matt sneered, "Now that we've all met each other, let's get on with it!"
"All right buddy," T.K growled, "we saved this digiworld time and time again. We've got friends on this planet and we won't let you destroy it, all right Patamon, take this freak down!"
"My pleasure! Patamon digivolve to…Angemon!" Angemon pointed his staff to Tezech."I won't let you destroy my world!" Angemon came to attack the alien, but he held it hand out and he effortlessly pushed Angemon away.
"You'll have to better than that!" This time, he did open his mouth. He stepped forward and his followers showed up behind him.
"You're on!" Tai said.
The first eight digimon digivolved to their ultimate levels and Grazemon and Lizardmon digivolved to their champion levels. "Let's see what your how strong your powers are compared to ours!" MetalGreymon shouted. "Giga Blaster!"
They pursued the aliens head on, but these were aliens, not digimon. They were stronger than they had expected. Sally was becoming angry; she felt helpless. "There's gotta be something I can do!" she ran off, trying to see what she could do. Being an architect, she was also an expert on building traps.
A voice started talking to Dawn. She looked up, "God?" she whispered. No, it wasn't God. It was Gennai. "Dawn, use the chip against them. Shove it in the master's neck. Test your faith. Do you believe?"
Shove it in the Quardi's neck? She thought would that really work?.
"Do you believe?"
She looked down at her crest, it was, glowing. I do believe, I believe, I believe! "Izzy, give me the chip!" she said, taking his hand, "Give me the chip now!"
"Why?" he reached in his pocket and pulled out the chip.
"Trust me, I have an idea," she said
"Dawn, what are you going to do?"
"I am going to use the chip on him." She took the chip and turned to Tezech, touched her forehead with her fingers, her heart and the other side of her chest, Father, Son, Spirit. Running to Tezech, she raised the chip over her head, shoved the chip in his neck and stepped back. "Behold, the power of Faith!" she cried. He crest glowed brighter and then…
Alimon digivolve to….
Lightning swirled around Alimon. Alimon stood up, her arms and legs grew longer, wings grew from her back and purple hair flowed from her head. She was a white Gargoyle, purple rags covered her body, the purple top had a strap on her left shoulder and a purple skirt-like cloth around her waist. She held up her hand, lighting shot it and a morning was held in her hand.
….Garamon!!
"Oh my gosh, Dawn, you did it!" Izzy shouted, "Why didn't I think of that?"
"It's, it's Alimon, at her Ultimate level!" Dawn laughed, "I-I did it! My faith made her digivolve!"
"Your faith will not protect you, fool!" Tezech shot at her with a green laser, but Garamon wrapped Dawn up in her large leathery wings.
"Quardi, obviously you don't understand the power of faith!" Garamon shouted. She spoke with a Scottish accent. She raised up her morning star and shouted her attack, "Thunder Star!" a shooting star of lighting zapped Quardi and pushed him against the other aliens.
"Time to show them our true form!" Tezech screamed, his hands clenched into tight fists and he began to change from a humanoid alien, to a demon. His body grew and his arms rippled with muscles, large spikes protruded from his elbows, nails changed into claws, teeth into fangs, toes into talons. Razor sharp spikes protruded from his knees. His face contorted into a snout and his eyes turned into the color of blood. "Let'ssssss sseeee what you can do nowwww," he slurred with snake-like speech.
"Hey you, over here you overlarge snake!" Sally shouted, "Yeah, I'm talking to you! You can talk the talk but can you walk the walk?"
"Sally, what the hell are you doing?" Joe demanded, "Are you crazy?"
"No--just ambitious!"
"I have something I wanna show you," Sally cried to the monster. She was trying to lead them away from the others and lead the monsters into a trap. "See if you can catch me, Let's go, Antelmon!"
Antlemon ran to Sally, Sally jumped on her digimon and led Tezech from the others. "Come on," she coached her digimon, "Faster! We're almost there!"
Tezech was hot on their trails. "You won't get away from me!" He shouted.
"Guess again, jump, Antlemon!"
Antlemon jumped, Sally pulled a vine that triggered the trap. A battering ram smacked right into Tezech. He fell on the ground. Sally's crest began to glow.
"How does that feel, Tezech?" Sally demanded, dismounting from Antlemon. Antlemon stood beside her.
"Feels like it's not enough!" Tezech stood up and shot at Sally, making her fall to her knees. "Foolish, Digidestined! You think you can destroy me, Tezech, ruler of the great Quardi from the all powerful planet of Morik? You try to topple me?"
Sally felt her strength begin to fall away from her. She put her palms on the cold ground, close to giving up. Her head, dropped. He's too powerful, we'll never make it. Then she felt something in her snap. She raised her head and sneered at Tezech. What am I thinking? I'm a digidestined, aren't I? I hold the crest of ambition, don't I? The crest of ambition was given to me because I'm eager to succeed, I hold the crest of ambition not the crest of defeat! I'm not gonna give up, I'm a digidestined, not a digidoomed.. I won't fail my friends. Come on Sally, off your knees. Sally pushed herself up, wincing. Get on your feet, on your feet! Don't give this freak the pleasure of watching you crumble. You're going to fight this guy with all you've got, or die trying! Don't leave until you bathed in his blood or drowned in your own!
She brought out a mirror and reflected it back to Tezech. He fell backward.
"No!" Tezech shouted, "How can you stand, it's not possible!" He tried shooting at her again, but Antlemon stood over her.
"You'll have to get through me first!" Antlemon hissed.
"Me too, you, you nasty son of a bitch!" Sally shouted, standing over him and holding her bladed fan out in front of her "I can see we've both got our share of ambition, but do you have as much ambition as I do?" Her crest of Ambition shined to its fullest and Antlemon began to feel it.
Antlemon digivolve to….
Fire swarmed around Antlemon as she stood on her hind legs. Her fur left her upper body and it was replaced with human's flesh, her head of an Antelope replaced with a woman's with pointed ears. A black wrap covered her torso and blackish-brown hair began to grow from her head. She held her hands out and a spear appeared in them. She changed from a giant Antelope to an 8 foot faun, a creature of Greek mythology.
…Faunamon!!!
"Tezech," Faunamon shouted, "when I'm through with you, your people will have to identify you with your teeth!"
"We'll see about that!"
"Oh yeah, bring it on, Tezech!" Sally shouted, "Kick his alien ass, Faunamon!"
"Spear spark!" She waved her spear and a flying spark shot him in the heart.
"A spark, ha!" Tezech cried.
"I've only started to warm up, Tezech!" she cried. She raised her spear over her head, fire danced all around it, "Fire spear!" she shot it into Tezech's body. He limped and fell backward.
Purple blood spurted from his wound. He coughed up fluid from his lungs. Tezech was mortally wounded. "No, no, it can't be Arghh!!"
Faunamon de-digivolved back to Grazemon and Sally ran back to see how the others were doing, they were still fighting. "Hey guys, I did it….actually, we did it! Tezech, he's, he's gone!"
"No way!" Joe shouted, "Oh, you look hurt…are you all right?" He put his arm around her.
"Antlemon digivolved to her ultimate level, to Faunamon. Man, she kicked Tezech's ass!"
"Sally!" Dawn put her hands on her hips. She was a strong religious woman.
"Oops, sorry," she mumbled.
"That's good, but the war isn't over yet!" Tai shouted.
"Owwww," Agumon groaned.
A rumble shook the ground under them and the digidestined almost fell to their knees. "What the--?" Izzy cried.
Tezech returned, he was bigger this time and his wound healed. "You think you can defeat me?" He shouted, "We heal fast! You puny, weak earthlings, you and your digimon can not stop us!" He rose up and he flew above them. "The fire spear only delayed me for a little while."
"Then let's delay you for good!" Sally reached her hand behind her and pulled out a fan that had blades on the end. She threw it at Tezech. It struck him in his chest. "We'll fight you off the bitter end!"
"Yeah," Dawn stood beside her, "Don't you dare think we're going to give up! David slew Goliath with his sling of faith and we're going to slay you with our own little slings!"
Garamon de-digivolved back to her rookie form and then….
Lizardmon warp-digivolve to…Alimon, Garamon….
Lightning stroke the sky as Garamon floated in the air, her morning star grew larger, into a long staff, with a chain on the end that connected to the star. A golden metal breastplate formed on her chest, with the crest symbol in front. She was covered head to foot with armor plate. She threw her arms in the air and shot lightning all around her.
….ThunderGaramon!
Grazemon warp-digivolve to…Antlemon, Faunamon…
Faunamon stood in a circle of fire, a suite of chain mail was applied to her body. Her spear was changed into a halberd. Leather slabs were applied to her shins and gauntlets to her hands. She spun around and a wave of fire excaped from her.
….ElementalFaunamon!
"Wow, look at them, Dawn!" Sally gasped, "they, they've, warped digivolved to a new level!"
"To their mega level!" Izzy confirmed, looking at the status on his computer. "Dawn, ThunderGaramon can control the skies and her attack is Thunderstorm . And ElementalFaunamon can control the fire and her attack is Fire Wall. They even have other attacks!"
Tezech advanced to them, but ElementalFaunamon set a firewall between them. She circled the fire all around the digidestined to protect them.
"Let's do it, ThunderGaramon!" ElementalFaunamon shouted, raising her halberd.
"Time for you to go back where you came from!" ThunderGaramon screamed, swinging the chain of her weapon. She swung it around a Quardi's torso, grabbed his face and melted it right off. He fell to her feet.
"Flame Wave!" ElementalFaunamon scratched the air with her halberd, sending a wave of fire to their enemies.
The other Quardi retreated back into their space ship, they begged Tezech to come with them, but he refused.
"You cowards, come back!" He shouted to them. They shook their heads.
"Afraid to fight us alone, Tezech?" ElementalFaunamon teased.
"Izzy, I have an idea," Dawn kneeled to him, "if you can use your computer to tamper with the chip I placed in his neck, then maybe…."
"Dawn, you're incredible!" Izzy cried, "it might just work."
"Master Tezech, we've never agreed to this anyway!" One of the Quardis complained. "If you want to stay here, then fine, we're going home!" He closed the hatch and the space ship started to leave.
"Muri, come back here, you fool!" Tezech shook his fist at his comrades, "traitors!"
"It's just us now, Tezech!" ThunderGaramon grinned. She rose up and swung her weapon above her head, "Thunder Storm!" thunder rolled and the lightning scratch the sky, it came upon Tezech.
"Fire Wall!" ElementalFaunamon cried and set her fire wall right on Tezech.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaughhhhhhhh!" Tezech wailed.
"Now, Izzy!" Dawn ordered, "the chip, if we can control his mind or something, we might be able to win!"
"I'm trying…" Izzy typed in a few code words "It's done!" when he pressed the enter key, a computer virus was downloaded into Tezech's body.
Tezech grabbed the back of his neck and threw his head back, screaming in horror. "My, my head, my body….you fools…..argggggggghhhhhhhh!" He twirled around in circles, fell on his back and exploded into dust. They digimon laughed, then they de-digivolved back to their usual forms.
