ANOTHER Digidestined?
Chapter 1:
Playing the cards...
by Razorpack
Legal crap: I don't own Digimon. I DO own Ben Curtis, Blancmon, Raedmon and Razormon (not to mention my name...). The Shield Belt, Redeemer and ASDL Shock Rifle belong to whoever made Unreal. Gameranger and 'Evill' belong to Scott McKniel. Rainbow Six belongs to someone as well, but who cares? Total Annihilation is da best damn RTS-game ever, so I think I should say that it belongs to Cavedog Entertainment and a TON of other companies (now NO ONE can sue me! mwahaha! *Hach, cough*). I'd rate this as PG, somewhere around 13, for the graphic violence and
mild swearing. And if you nice people give me lots of good replies, I'll make another fic. ^_^
Note: This is my 1st Digimon fic! Please don't flame for it being rubbish compared to others' fics. Besides, I've got a few Pokémon fics on the Net somewhere...
*yo raz! bet u cant avoid dis!*
"DIE BITCH!!!" yelled Raz.
*BOOM*
RS_Evill's killing spree was ended by RSRazorpack|OHM|! RSRazorpack|OHM| has taken the lead!
*wtf?* typed Evill.
*no1 can beat me with redeemer when i have shock rifle. u forget i aim AND run back. redeemer missile easy 2 hit*
*no! u ruined my chance @ godlike on multi!*
*hahaha*
*i h8 u*
*wanna play new game?*
*sorry, gtg. L8r.*
*cya, next time DON'T use redeemer! haha*
RS_Evill has left the game room
Ben stretched and yawned. That match was harder than he cared to admit. Evill had almost knocked him from his position as Sub-Op in Rogue Squadron! He was lucky that Evill made the newbie mistake: using the Redeemer in medium range battle. Of course, the blast range was massive and powerful, but it also meant that shooting the rocket right after it was shot would kill the firer. He had been hit as well, but the Shield Belt had taken most of the damage. He smiled at the thought of becoming Commander. He just needed to beat Shokk at Rainbow Six, and that title would be his! He hoped Shokk would be on GameRanger tonight, he wanted a challenge. He had, after all, practically slaughtered Prodigious at Ares, and Logg, the self-proclaimed best strategist on GR, ate humble pie against Ben 'Razorpack' Curtis in Risk II and Total Annihilation. And now Razorpack was Squad champion of Unreal Tournament, Risk II, TA, Ares and good ol' Marathon Infinity.
"Ben! What are you still doing here?" asked his mother crossly. "I thought you said you had to help that new student with her studies!"
"I did." he replied, confused about her outburst. "What did I do now?"
"It's quarter to 5."
Realization dawned on Ben's face. He had 15 minutes to get his schoolwork together and get to the mall! And it was on the other side of town! He turned off his computer, gathered his books, and rushed out of the room. He scrambled down the stairs like a bat out of hell, raced into the garage and grabbed his rollerblades.
"Do you really think that they'll let you the mall with those on?" asked his mother while he put them on.
"Don't worry, I got my gym shoes in the bag." He leapt up, gave his mother a quick hug, and raced down the street.
In Digiworld...
Palmon sat on a tree branch, looking at the afternoon sky. She'd been doing this every day for the past 3 months, waiting, searching.
"I just can't take it anymore!" growls Gabumon. He slams a paw in a nearby tree in frustration. "It's bad enough that Matt and the others had to go, now to see her like that..." he said, reffering to Palmon's sad mood.
"We're all sad about them leaving, Gabumon." said Agumon.
"But Palmon's taking it worse than any of us."
"It breaks my heart to see her so unhappy." added Biyomon.
"I just wish that there was someway we could talk to her, to ease the pain." said Tentomon.
"Without Matt my life has no purpose. I was destined to become his friend for life, to protect him no matter what. And what if he had an accident in his world? I wouldn't be able to help him!"
Silence followed, as Agumon, Tentomon, Gabumon and Biyomon quietly reminisced their adventures with their partners.
"Do you think they might have forgotten us?" asked Palmon. Everyone looked at her in surprise. They hadn't noticed that she had climbed out of her tree. Suddenly, Gabumon got angry as her words registered.
"How DARE you think that! They would never forget us, even if they lived to be 10,000 digiyears old! They are our friends for life!"
"Easy Gabumon," soothed Agumon. He gave Palmon a hurt look. "How could you think that little of Matt or Tai. Or even Mimi? They'll never forget us, and we'll never forget them."
"The despair's getting to us. The pain of being without Sora is unbareable. I guess we're all losing faith." said Biyomon.
"I'm not going to give up on them! I'm not going to drown in my own despair! I didn't become Tai's guardian because I was too afraid to face danger, to face pain! He NEVER gave up on us, why should we give up on him and the others?"
"But it's impossible to reach them, Agumon." said Tentomon dejectedly. "The portal's closed forever."
"If there's one thing I learned being with Tai is that NOTHING is impossible. Remember when Devimon split up File Island? On our own we didn't have a chance, but we regrouped and deleted him! Remember when we had to look for Kari? It was like looking for a needle in a giant haystack, but we found her and stopped Myotismon! Remember when we fought the Dark Masters? Th-"
Gabumon chuckled.
"You're right. It always seemed impossible but we made it through. We always were about to be destroyed, or both worlds falling apart, but with them we stopped even Apocalymon!"
"But we're not with them. They've gone home. The portal's closed, and there's nothing we can do to open it." Said Palmon
Agumon looked at the ground in defeat.
"Bright ray of sunshine aren't you?" said Tentomon.
In Japan...
Sora dodged the attacker and ran to the left. She dribbled past 2 more defenders, then passed the ball to a kid called Oshi. He managed to dodge another kid, but was tripped by a sliding tackle from the opposite team. Lui, the enemy team captain, took control of the ball and steamed down the field. Tai ran to stop him, but Lui ran passed him as if he wasn't there. There was now only the goal keeper, Jin, and Nathan in between Lui and the goal. Tai grimaced. He liked the new kid, but his soccer skills could be better. He hoped against hope that Jin would be able stop the ball if Nathan couldn't get it. Nathan ran forward feinting to jump to the left but instead went straight on. Lui fell for the ploy, but he somehow managed to weave around Nathan without stopping.
"Come on Jin, we're depending on you." said Tai to himself.
"Go Jin! You can do it!" encouraged Sora.
Jin looked nervous, and with good reason. This was the first proper match for Taichi's team this season, and he didn't want to let his new friend down. He was now preparing to stop the ball from going into the net in front of 200 people. To make things worse, this next goal would be significant for Lui's team. If Lui scored, his team would be leading 4-3, and Jin didn't think that there was enough time for Taichi or the others to score 2 more goals. He readied himself, and crouched low. The next moment will define the whole match.
Lui smiled inwardly. He was going to win! He didn't know how good the new goalie was, but he could tell that he was very nervous. They make it so easy for me. They're relying on a last-minute geek who probably couldn't tie his own shoelaces. He got into a good striking range. Left or right? he thought. Wait, yes...
Lui reached back and hit the ball with all his might. Yes! The kid had fallen for it!
Time seemed to slow down for Jin. He knew, before Lui had even hit the ball, that Lui had scored. At the last possible millisecond, he looked as though he was going to aim to the right. Jin dived, his fingers outstretched, and even in slow-mo the ball was moving fast. Right towards the middle of the goal. Sorry guys, I let you down, thought Jin sadly.
*WHUP!*
Sora was speechless. The ball, instead of flying over Jin's legs and into the goal, had slammed into his stomach. Hard. Ohmygod! A flood of unvoiced questions came to her, and she ran to Jin's side. God, PLEASE let him be all right!
Tai closed his eyes in defeat. It was going so well! He heard the ball hitting something, and the collective gasp of the crowd. He opend his eyes, and saw Sora running towards Jin. And Tai wished he had never turned to look.
End Chapter 1
How was it? I'm sorry about the ungodly long disclaimer, but I REALLY don't want anyone to get mad at me for not giving them the credit they deserve (and I stress deserve). Comments? Opinions? Please tell me! Razorpack@excite.com
