Chapter 13: Days Anew
Tell me Chosen can you save me?
The voice once again startles them awake. They all awake from their nice little dreams. No one was sweating, panting or
screaming. He had kept his word, so
far. They started breakfast. They had a lot to do this day. After breakfast Hikari, Sora and Miyako
began washing the dishes. Daisuke, Ken
and Takeru conferred with Taichi and Koushiro over their plan of action for the
first part of Server Continent. Yamato,
Mimi, Jyou and Iori all helped pack the belongings. The Digimon had went hunting for berries and such and were
returning.
"So Miyako, how are Daisuke and Ken?" Hikari queried.
"They are fine, why do you ask?"
"Well I haven't talked to Daisuke since…the incident. And Ken hasn't
looked at me since then either."
"I think you need to discuss that with them. But yeah, they are fine."
"I know, I just don't think they will talk to me."
"Why shouldn't they do that Kari?" Sora asked.
"Well, they did kind of bear the brunt of my disdain the other
night. Ken especially."
"Well if we get split up again I will suggest you get placed with them."
"But Sora…" Miyako began
"I had to deal with being away from Taichi, you can deal with being
away from those two."
"I know…but Daisuke and I just started. And Ken is…"
"He will be in good hands. Hikari is the Child of Light."
I wish you all would just sit down and talk to one another like you did
the other night. Get all these
questions out of the way. My Chosen, I
am prepared to assist you like I promised.
Salamon immediately tensed up again. She then began to stretch and purr. Gomamon began to twitch. Piyomon
squawked uncontrollably. The Chosen
were frightened. Was he going to kill
their partners? This was not a promise
they wanted fulfilled. Sora, Hikari and
Jyou all screamed and began to cry in Fear. Suddenly, Salamon Digi-volved to Tailmon and then to Angewomon. Gomamon Digi-volved to Ikkakumon and then to
Zudomon. Piyomon Digivolved to
Birdramon and then to Garudamon. The
Chosen were struck in Awe. This was
great. But the Chosen did not do
it. He did. Who was he? How did he do
it? Is he close by? The three Digimon's Chosen ran up to them
and began hugging them. Taichi and
Koushiro were both glad that the being had not killed them.
This is my help. You now have a
way to get to the first part of the Continent of Server. Angewomon…you will notice you have increased
strength. This is to carry three of My
Chosen. I suggest Iori hold on to your
shoulders, Hikari in one arm and Koushiro in the other. The rest of you can divvy up amongst Zudomon
and Garudamon. This is not permanent. Once you reach the shore, weather in the air
or not you will devolve. I suggest you
be landed when that happens. Hurry the
others wait for you. And don't
worry. Because of the time it will take
to get you there, I have placed the three in closer vicinity. It is the least I can do to make up for my,
for our, sins. Farewell. And do hurry.
Just as quickly as he spoke, he didn't. Taichi split the others in this order: Taichi, Takeru, Sora, and Yamato would travel on Garudamon. Jyou, Mimi, Ken, Miyako and Daisuke would
ride on Zudomon. He was the bigger and stronger of the three. Angewomon took
the beings advice. She still did not
trust him. But the others did. So she had to go along with it. After the placing of the Chosen they all
took off. They still had things most of
them needed to talk about.
On Garudamon:
Taichi and Takeru were having the time of their lives. It had been a long time since they had
ridden on a flying creature. Yamato
never got used to it. But Sora held
onto him, lightly. Taichi looked over
to Takeru. He figured now was a better
time than any. Takeru looked over to
Taichi. He knew the grilling was not
done. He just wondered why Taichi
waited so long.
"Look Taichi. Ask me already."
"Why?"
"I don't know. It felt right. Daisuke was right about that. It had to be done. I had gotten in a fight with Ken a long time ago. Daisuke on the other hand, well neither one
of us had settled our differences since Hikari and I got together."
"And the other night seemed to be the place for it?"
"Well no. I feel bad you all
had to see that. It had to be done."
"Look if we had not interfered you probably would have killed each
other. But eh…your brothers fat lip
kinda looks bad."
"Look Taichi, remember what he did to Jyou during one of our
fights. That was both of us."
"Yeah, but damn they are strong little buggers. Daisuke hurt. Jyou is still wincing."
"He hit you both that hard?"
"Well little bro, about as hard as you hit me."
"Ouch, which was as hard as he was hitting me. I am sorry."
"We are used to it. Jyou has
actually toughened up from it." Sora
inserted.
"Jyou…tough?"
"Yeah you should have been at this club we all went to one night after
your brothers band played. This young
man, about 25, came up to me and started hitting on me. Tai and 'Mato were off getting something for
the rest of us. Izzy made sure to get
me up and out of there. He kept badgering
Jyou. Jyou asked him to leave. He said some curses and hauled off and
slugged Jyou."
"We were walking back and saw Jyou get hit. We dropped the five bottles and ran over to Jyou. By the time we got there the guy was trying
to pummel him. Jyou was hurt fro ma
blow to the ribs but after he grabbed the guy he called Sora a whore. Jyou got mad. He placed a good right into the guy's stomach. Made me proud."
"I am sure it did. But Jyou's
hand hurt for days after that."
"Look here Yamato." Sora
scolded.
"I know I know. He did it out
of respect for you. I can only imagine
how hard you got hit if Jyou is hurting."
"I guess nerds aren't so weak after all"
"TAI!"
Angewomon:
Iori shifted comfortably on her back. And began looking down at Hikari and Koushiro. The Child of Light had always been very light and cheerful. Maybe she knew what he did not. Jyou and Mimi did. He cleared his throat.
"Yes Iori?" Koushiro asked.
"Well I was going to ask Hikari-san a question. I may as well as ask you too. Am I worthy of being Chosen?"
"Yes. If you were not you would
not have been included. It is simple as
that."
"Well no Koushiro it is not." Hikari spoke up. "Look Iori, You
have proven you have what it takes to stand up to anything that is in our
way. Time and again you have come
through and saved us. For that I am
grateful. Also Iori, you have fulfilled
your Crests to the hilt. Your Knowledge
and Reliability have inspired and fulfilled us all."
"Thank you Miss Hikari." Well
I still do not understand.
Well my child soon I hope you will. Your Emotions of Knowledge and Reliability have served you well. But you have asked four. Ask the other seven. My words alone will not convince you.
Especially sine you are our enemy. Stop referring to us as yours.
Oh but you are. You are.
Leave the child alone.
Ah Angewomon. Your angelic
powers are what I expected. Very well I
wish not to anger you anymore. Farewell.
Why did Angewomon tense up? Hikari
pondered.
On Zudomon:
Jyou and Mimi held onto Zudomon's neck and waited the ride
patiently. The other three were holding
onto the shell, by a horn specifically. Ken still had to face up to Miyako. She didn't seem to care, but still it was going to be tough to talk
about. Daisuke kept nudging him.
"Miyako…can we talk."
"Sure Dai-chan. Let me scoot
down towards you."
"Ok Miyako. Ken needs to say
something."
"Dai…" Ken looked embarrassed. "About last night. I am sorry I
never told you. I should have been
honest with you from the beginning."
"Look Ken, I meant ever word I said two night ago and I mean it
today. I love you. You are a wonderful friend. It is nice to know I am so loved by two very
special men. I could tell, just not the
extent. I am the Child of Love and
Sincerity you know. I just hope all our
friendships can remain the same."
"Miyako, of course it will. We
are all destined together. It was meant
to happen."
"And besides, now I got a good cook and a homework buddy. What more can I ask for?"
"Dai!"
"Motomiya
Daisuke!"
"What did I say?" A sly look over came Daisuke. They all laughed. This was turning out great. I have everything now. Maybe for
once I really can be happy.
Maybe you can my Daisuke. Maybe you can.
