AUTHOR'S NOTE: *sweatdrops* Gah, I like totally flipped out when I got the news that FF.Net wasn't working properly 'coz I had to change a LOTTA stuff in the chapters I already sent in for both my Gundam Wing and Digimon ficcies... -.-;; So anyways, just a little FYI for ya, if somethings don't sound right/familiar it's 'coz I changed some stuff in the previous chapters... Gomen....
~~~~*~~~~
Finally, they arrived at Izzy's. "So, you're the fifth girl?" Sora asked while analyzing her. 'She's not even that pretty...'
Silver nodded her head and looked at Joe who was trying to figure out what was wrong with Tai. Joe pushed down on Tai's left leg and Tai screamed in pain.
"God, Joe!!! That hurts like hell!!!" He exclaimed.
"I'm sorry, Tai, but this is the only way to see what's wrong with you." Joe told him.
"He's a jerk that what." Matt murmured.
"What was that, Matt?" Tai retorted.
Matt turned his back to Tai and said, "Nothing."
"Well, it seems that you've sprained your ankle and pulled a couple of muscles in your leg. Izzy, do you happen to have some bandages?" Joe announced.
"Yea, I have some somewhere." Izzy answered and headed into his room and came back with the bandages.
"So tell us, what's going on in the digiworld?" Izzy asked Silver once he gave Joe the bandages.
"What else? Evil has arose in the digiworld again." Silver replied sounding bored.
"Who is it now?" TK wondered.
"Five evil digimon, all megas, calling themselves the dark digimon. Deathmon, Sepikmon, Galfmon, Millenniumon, and Armagemon." Silver said more seriously.
"Huh, what a nice list of digimon. All having to do with the end of time..." TK said.
"So why us?" Kari questioned.
"Because I need your help, your digimon needs your help, everyone needs your help. You're the last line of defense." Silver proclaimed.
"What do you mean, "last line of defense"?" Matt wondered.
"I am not the thirteenth child in your group. I am part of another digidestined group." Silver glanced at the curious looks on their faces, "I'm from the original digidestined. The first humans to go to the digiworld." The room became still.
"First... digidestined?" Tai said in disbelief.
"Where's your companions then?" Sora asked.
"They're ..." Silver hesitated, " ...dead." She hated the taste of the sound on her lips, and hated it even more once she spit it out.
"They are not dead!" A voice argued and Samimon came out of Silver's backpack.
Mimi nearly jumped and tried her hardest not to squeel. "Everyone, this is Samimon, an in-training digimon." She said.
"Samimon digivolve to," A dark green light filled the room, "Pangmon!"
"What a cool digimon." Kari said while bending down to pet Pangmon.
"Umm... doesn't anyone else wonder what that dark green light was just now?" Joe asked.
"I'll explain it to you in a bit ---" Silver replied.
"What's you crest?" Izzy asked.
"The crest of Sacrifice. Why?"
"I was just curious." Izzy responded and typed away on his laptop.
"Anything else, besides the explanation of that light that we need to know?" Matt wondered.
"Well, if you guys don't go to the digiworld then the dark digimon might find out a way to digivolve to their extreme levels." Silver said importantly.
"Extreme levels??" Everyone echoed.
"There are now nine ways a digimon can digivolve. Baby, in-training, rookie, champion, ultimate, mega, and extreme. And the dark digimon even know that if they do digivolve to their extreme stages that they'll die after a few hours." Silver explained.
"Why?" TK asked.
"Because only vaccine and data digimon can survive the super power and because virus digimon just simply... can't. Their bodies just can't handle it. Anyways, digivolving to the Extreme level is only meant for data and vaccine. I guess they're trying to prove the theory wrong." Pangmon answered.
"So Pangmon, you can digivolve to your extreme stage just like any other digivolve?" Kari questioned.
"Yes, but that takes a lot of power from all of the other crests." Pangmon replied.
"Come again?" TK asked.
"Let's take today for example with a few changes..." Silver said and turned to Sora, Matt, and Tai, "When Sora almost got hit by that car, say the car was Armagemon, and he decided to do something bad to Sora, and we are the digimon, we are beaten up and we can't help her, but then," She pointed to Matt but looked at Tai first, "And to makes this a little more understanding, instead of Tai let's say Matt jumps in front of Sora and he takes all the blasts, kicks, punches, etc., all for himself, that's using all the crests. Courage, Love, Friendship, Reliability, Knowledge, Hope, Light, Fortitude, Sacrifice, Wisdom, Integrity, and Trust. Thus, the crests that was the most involved in that action will make the digimon who has that crest digivolve straight into their extreme level. Do you get it?"
"Well... kinda." TK said still sounding confused.
"I guess you'll understand it when it happens."
"Ok, well, here's a question. How come Pangmon is a boy digimon and he's yours?" Sora asked.
Silver shrugged. "I don't have a clue," she looked down at Pangmon, "I guess it's because I'm considered as a tomboy or something."
"Here's another question. I thought that your companions were dead. How will their crests be involved in the digivolving to extreme process?" Matt said.
"I have their digipagers." Silver proclaimed and pulled out a yo-yo, a hackey sack, a stick of lip gloss, and a horseshoe keychain.
"Those are... the digipagers?" Joe asked.
"Yea!" Silver responded.
Tai and the other digidestined examined the materials.
TK pulled out his D-3 and kept on compairing the two things. "They sure don't look like digivices, Silver." He said.
"Is this some kinda joke?" Matt asked.
"No joke. You guys haven't seen the REAL digivice yet.." Silver told them and took off her armband. "This is my digivice."
"That's just an armband, Silver." Kari said.
"You know, why don't you stop wasting our time and ---"
Sora was interuppted when the armband started to glow dark green, followed by the digidestined's "Whoa...."
"This just isn't an ordinary armband, ya see?" Pangmon said as he took a thing shaped as a foot without the toes; an antenna on the top right side; a screen on the top half; the armband wrapped around it; and a broken heart craved on the bottom half, out of Silver's hand and displayed it. "It turns into a device with the digivice on the top and your crest on the bottom. You can also communicate with each other on it too."
"Awesome." Tai whispered.
"Oh yea, while we're on the subject and before I forget ..." Silver said and pointed to Joe, "Also answering your question about the strange light. Hand over your digivices or D-3s." Everyone pulled them out and handed them to her. "Pangmon, would you please do the honors?"
Pangmon nodded. "FREEZE CUT!" A thin, light blue icicle headed toward the digivices and destroyed them. Everyone gasped.
"Why the hell did you do that for?!" Sora exclaimed.
"Calm down. I wouldn't have told Pangmon to do that on purpose and without some replacements." Silver said calmly and started to dig into her backpack again. She pulled out a pair of goggles, a blue helmet hat, a harmonica, took away Izzy's laptop ("Hey!") took Joe's glasses ("Hey! I can't see!") a pink cowboy hat, a green hat with a gem-thing on it, and a whistle. "Look kinda familiar?"
"Without my glasses I can't see... GIVE ME GLASSES BACK!" Joe protested.
"Hey... Those are some of the things we brought with us to the digiworld when we first went there, isn't it?" Mimi said.
"Yea, that's right. And these will be your new digivices." Silver handed each digidestined their rightful possesions. "Now, the trick to using them is by concertating on sending all your energy to your digivice."
Everyone blinked. "Do wha?"
Silver sweatdropped. "Er, or you could imagine your digimon digivolving...?"
Still very confuddled, the digidestined did as they were told. They shut their eyes and tried to remember seeing their digital companion digivolve.
Silver and Pangmon stepped back from the group which now glowed a rainbow color.
"They're doing it, Silver.." Pangmon whispered.
"Yes..." Silver responded and watched as the group's color began to fade. "Now, let's see if they can handle the truth.."
"Whoa! Prodigious!" Izzy exclaimed as he looked at his own digipager.
"There's more to the story guys... You've heard the good part... Now you have hear the bad part..." Silver abruptly interrupted the team's amazement of the new devices.
"The... bad part?" Kari asked.
"Yes, the bad part. Answering your previous question Joe, that light came from my digipager. From now on, when your digimon digivolves your digipager's light will surround you and your digimon." Silver added. "But if you're going to go to the digiworld you're gonna play it the old fashioned way..."
"What do you mean?"
Silver wrinkled her nose and swifted her head. "You guys got everything the easier way than what I did. What I mean is that, everything's gonna be a lot harder for you guys. For one, when your digimon digivolves it'll drain the energy coming from your digipager, and since the digipager is linked up to you, that means digivolving will get it's energy from you. So I hope some of you can handle loosing a lot of energy... Mainly I'm concerned for you, Kari..."
Kari nodded her head. "I can handle it..."
"Second off, the digimon cannot control the digivolving process. So, that means that they can digivolve spontaneously, and not only this, but their digivolve can't always be for the better. Now they can either digivolve to be a good digimon or an evil one."
"So then, Gomamon can digivolve whenever into a bad digimon?!" Joe exclaimed and pictured Gomamon digivolving into an evil Ikkakumon.
"But then again, there might not be a digimon to worry about digivolving into a bad one and draining all of your energy." Silver added.
"What are you talking about?" Sora wondered.
"Since you're playing by -our- rules, you'll have to -EARN- your digital companion. You have to prove yourself worthy of responsibility for a digimon..."
Everyone paused.
"So the choice is yours digidestined..." Pangmon broke the silence. "We'll give you some time to think this over, but only a day. Who knows what sort of things evil is brewing right now... In the mean time, think this over. You can either go under these rules and danger, or you can back out..."
"Those of you who are going to take this risk can meet us at Highton again at noon. There's a digiport there..." Silver said and she and Pangmon left the stunned teenagers.
