Chapter
7 (wow…;-)
"I've been waiting a long time for
this." Gennai said, looking at each member of the large group. He stood where
Father Ichijouji would normally stand during a normal service, and the rest of
them sat in the first aisle, listening intently. "I'm sure that you have each
heard of the DigiDestined Children…right?" They each nodded, wondering what he
had to say.
"We are those children, aren't we?"
Sora said, standing up, but still holding Taichi's hand. Gennai smiled.
"Ah, Sora, protector of love. Yes
child, you are." Yamato stood up, hands in the air and shaking his head.
"Whoa whoa whoa! Wait one minute, how
could this all possibly be true? That is just an old myth!" Gennai smiled,
rolling his eyes at the prince.
"Yamato, Yamato. Let me finish my
story!" Yamato sighed, and sat down next to his wife, Mimi. She put her arm
through his, and leaned her head on his shoulder.
Gennai looked up again,
"Could I please get through this
without anymore interruptions?" He asked, his voice building intensity. Each of
the people inside the church nodded, setting their eyes on the old man. He
smiled and coughed.
"That's better. Now, where was I?"
Hikari giggled and answered,
"We're the DigiDestined Children, we
didn't get very far." Gennai smiled at the young lady and looked over the whole
group again.
"Ah, yes. You all are DigiDestined. You
each were sent here for a different purpose by the powers from above. A special
attribute was established in each of your hearts, and you are here to spread
your power around the world. Courage, Love, Friendship, Knowledge, Sincerity,
Reliability, Kindness, Fate, Light, and Hope are the key elements to a
wonderful world. These qualities have one or more holders, depending on which
of the characteristics you have shown the most in your life." Gennai pulled a
little black bag out of his front pocket. Iori smiled when he realized what it
was. "I have here in my hands, crests that symbolize your feature with the
utmost dignity. They are held in a golden tag which will protect them." He
reached into the bag and pulled out two of the crests.
~*~*~
"GO FIND KOUSHIROU! FIND MY BEST
KNIGHTS!" The King yelled at his advisors. "It's time to take action!" He
stormed out of the room (well, as best as he could with his leg) and left his
room of advisors bewildered about what he was talking about. The King turned
around and tapped his foot harshly. He made an annoyed face and screamed,
"FOLLOW ME YOU IDIOTS!"
~*~*~
"Sir. Taichi Kamiya and Sir. Daisuke
Motomiya," The two knights stood up at the sound of their names. "You two brave
souls are the keepers of courage. You show what it means to be a knight to its
full capacity, protecting the weak and innocent. You would give your life for
your country. Wear these with great with great honor." With that, he threw the
two orange crests up in the air, their strings flapping after them. Taichi and
Daisuke reached up to grab them, but then realized that the crests had slowed
down, floating gently into their hands.
Davis smiled and put the necklace
around his neck, he gazed at the crest and smiled at Miyako, who was beaming.
Taichi sat next to Sora and showed her the crest. She looked as if she was
about to cry, and hugged Taichi tightly around the neck.
There was a loud banging on the
church's doors, but when Ken stood up to go and open them, Gennai sent him and
look, and the young Father sat down.
"Princess Sora, my dear lady." Sora
released her grip on Taichi and stood up slowly. "You are the protector of
love. You have kept everyone close to you as you possible can. You give each
and every one of the subjects of your kingdom as much love as a person of your
status could. Lowering taxes, not living in such lavish conditions, just so
your people can live happily. You are the one, the only true protector,
keeper, holder of love." Now Sora was really crying, wiping the silent tears
that had fallen down her face. Gennai gently let go of her red crest. It
floated high above their heads, and fell softly into Sora's hands. She watched
it land in her hands and then formed a tight grip around it. Sora sat back down
and Taichi wrapped a protective arm around her shoulder.
Gennai smiled and looked towards Yamato
and Mimi. "Prince Yamato…you are the rebel, isn't that right?" Yamato bowed his
head slightly, and blushed. Gennai laughed. "Who would have thought that you,
mister loner, would be the holder of friendship?" Yamato looked up, confused.
He stood up slowly, Mimi's arm releasing his. Gennai sent Yamato a half smile.
"You, Prince Yamato, Matt, are one who knows who a true friend is. You make
sure your brother is always safe, always happy; you always give Takeru a
shoulder to lean on and great advice. Your friendship with Koushirou has
survived fourteen years, and you've dealt with his differences in lifestyles
and characteristics. Mimi, your love, fell for you when she saw how much you
cared for everyone close to you. Matt, you are a friend to everyone."
Yamato smiled softly, blinking his eyes furiously, wiping his face with his
sleeve ("I have something in my eyes." He whispered). Gennai nodded, and
released a blue crest, followed by a black string. Yamato watched the crest fly
over everyone's head and land in his hands. He stared at it for a few moments,
and then sat back down quickly, embarrassed for being in such a trance. Mimi
giggled happily and kissed him on the cheek.
~*~*~
"Your majesty," A young servant called,
chasing the King down the hallway. "I wasn't able to find Lord Koushirou! I
searched his entire manor and there were only serfs! I banged on the doors of
the church, I heard voices, but no one answered the door! Do you think the Lord
and the Father are in on this too?" The King stopped for a moment.
"What's your name boy?" The servant
bowed down.
"Matthew, your majesty." The King
nodded, eyeing the boy carefully.
"Ah, Matthew…I think you may be on to
something…"
~*~*~
Gennai sighed softly and looked towards
the rest of the group. "Koushirou." Koushirou's eyes shot up to the short old
man. "You have been…secluded all your life from your peers, except Yamato and
Takeru, of course. Your supreme intelligence has always surpassed those of your
town, making them keep their distance." Koushirou looked away, slightly
embarrassed. "But, there is a reason for this. Being able to spend your time
studying, and learning the ways of the rest of the world, has helped you become
a more understanding person, and your cleverness has helped many. These are the
reasons why you, Koushirou, are the holder of Knowledge." Koushirou beamed, and
looked back up at Gennai. Gennai smiled and out from his palm floated a purple
crest.
"Princess Miyako and Lady Mimi," Gennai
said softly, looking at both of the young ladies. The two shared a look and
stood up, Mimi still holding Yamato's hand. "You two are the keepers of
Sincerity. You are both very true to your hearts, as Yamato and Daisuke have
realized. You both went past your initial doubts of your relationships, and
followed your heart, your truthful heart, and found the men of your
dreams." With that, Gennai released two
green crests, and one flew over to Mimi, and the other to Miyako.
Gennai looked Iori right in his green
eyes. "Dr. Kido and Count Hida." The two stood up, both nervous of what was
about to happen. "You two are the holders of Reliability. Jyou, you make sure
that all of you patients are well, and you check up on them to make sure that
their goods health continues. They come to you knowing that they will receive
the best help they can receive." He then looked back at Iori. "Iori…the load of
responsibility you gained when your father died was tremendous. Having to run
the entire manor of your family was a huge responsibility. But you made sure
that everything was done, that everyone was happy, and that everything was just
like it was supposed to be. You two are truly reliable." Two silver crests floated out of Gennai's
hands and floated down to Jyou and Iori. The two shared a look, smiled, and
placed their crests around their necks.
"Father Ichijouji," Gennai said loudly,
causing Ken to stand up rather quickly and oddly. "You, Father, are the keeper
of Kindness. You are always there for the people of the manor, and the village
peasants. No matter what the situation, you will always find it in your heart
to help others. Marrying both of the princes to their ladies was a very brave
and kind thing to do, even though it was going against the king's will." A
light blue crest floated over their heads and into Ken's hands. The blue
matched his eyes and hair, as he put the necklace around his neck.
"Willis, guard of the city." Willis
stood up, stiff as the guard he is. "You already have your crest, because it
was Fate that brought it to you. After surviving a horrendous shipwreck that
was bringing you to this country, you were stranded on the beach were your now
foster parents found you and raised you. The day your house was raided by the
invaders and your parents killed, you had decided to visit your friend in the
next town. When Iori and Armadillomon came running to town in search of the
knight's, you were the guard on charge, and your shift was just ending so that
you could take them to their destination. If that doesn't prove that your life
consisted of many twists of fate, I don't know what does." Gennai smiled. "Wear
your crest with pride." Willis kept the tears back, from remembering all that
Gennai had told him. He had lost two sets of parents, and was able to move on.
"I always have." He whispered, and he
sat down.
Gennai smiled, and finally turned to
Takeru and Hikari, who had been sitting patiently in the corner, watching the
others get their crests. "The Crests of Hope and Light harmonize; a unique bond
those two form. Takeru and Hikari are the holders of Hope and Light. Hikari
holds the Light of the world in her pure heart, making everyone smile with just
one look or word from her. She brings a very joyful aura to the places she
goes, making people believe that everything will be okay. Takeru is the keeper
of Hope. No matter what the situation, he will see the positive side; he will
see the light. The keeper of Hope is said to have the most powerful of
the crests, giving him a special power, an even greater power when he is joined
with the keeper of Light. No one knows what exactly his power his, but when it
is desperately needed, it will prevail and repair everything." Gennai released
the final two crests, one pink and one a golden color.
They floated over everyone, giving off
a strange light that the others hadn't. Takeru and Hikari took theirs softly
out of the air, and placed it around their necks. They each felt…renewed, as if
the crests had supplied them with the energy needed to fight their battles.
Gennai closed his eyes. He sensed that
there was trouble brewing in the castle. The aura around in was filled with
hatred and fright, The King and Queen, he soon realized.
"You
have to leave and face the King." He said suddenly, causing the DigiDestined to
gasp. "Your first mission as the DigiDestined awaits you right outside these
gates…hurry, before it is to late."
Okay,
that sucked and it took me soooooo long to finish, I just couldn't think of
anything!! Okay, I'm pretty sure either the next chapter, or the one AFTER that
will be the last….waahhhH!!! Okay, bye bye
Until then…
