Digital Rebellion Chapter 14
An Old Friend Returns

The digidestened had been forced to abandon their mission to get information from Dieconesmon's computers on where their parents might be and if some of their old enemies had returned. They were doing fine until they were driven away by armies of Darkmon. Two were given minor injuries and one may not live. The team had spite into two. One half lead by Tai and the other by Davis, two of Tai's guys were hurt and Tai gave the ordered to retreat, but one of Davis's had gotten hit the side and it took Davis a while to have his part of the team also retreat, but only after the one who was hit fainted from luck of blood. The digidestened are all in the hospital right now except for Davis and Kari.
*******************************************************
Every digidestened that were in the hospital was worried, but none more then Yolei. Victor had been hit in the side and the doctors told them that he might not make it even if his wound is well bandaged up...
"If anything happens to Victor I'll never speak to Davis again or even look at him," cried Yolei.
"Like it would matter to him," said Hawkmon.
They were all sitting in chairs outside the door to the room Victor was taken into...
"Hey Tai there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about," said Gatomon.
"And that would be?" asked Tai looking at the floor
"Now I usually wouldn't question your decision, because so far you a haven't made one mistake, but I think you made a mistake choosing Davis for your seconded in command. He does fine when you're with him yeah, but with out you around he nearly got us all killed and because of him Victor may die," said Gatomon determinedly
"Yeah and if he hadn't given the order to retreat any sooner we all would have been dead," said Armadillomon.
"And he differently doesn't seem to care about anyone besides himself and that flute. I don't know if I understand him anymore," said Wormmon
"I have to agree with Wormmon, but come to think of it he has been keeping things to himself lately. He spends all of his time in his room playing that flute of his. He doesn't even speak to anyone," said Cody.
"He does seem to care about that flute of his more then us, but maybe we don't understand him as much as we use to anymore," suggested T.K depressingly
"T.K has a point. I have noticed that he acts like he doesn't want to live anymore," said Ken, "But Gatomon also has point. He did almost get us all killed. I can't even tell if he's sad, angry or happy,"
"You know maybe it would be a good idea for you to choose someone else for seconded in command Tai," suggested Matt.
"Is that what you all think?" asked Tai closing his eyes and opening them again, "That Davis doesn't care anymore, that he doesn't want to live anymore, that he's cold hearted and unfeeling,"
"Now none of us said he was cold hearted and unfeeling," said Komodomon, "We just think that maybe you should give his job to someone else,"
Tai raised his head and looked at all of them with cold displeasing looks...
"So you all think that I should give the job of seconded in command to somebody, huh," said Tai, "Well here's what I have to say about that,"
"And that would be?" asked Cheemon.
"I've decided that...Davis stays seconded in command," said Tai demandingly, "I know you all have your reasons for wanting someone else for the job, but don't forget this was the first time we've been attacked like this since we return to the real world from Hywall. I have to admit I was pretty nervous myself and surprised when those Darkmon attacked, but don't forget Davis has gone under a lot of changes. It was only last week when Davis had to fight Justin and it was the first time he had to give orders with out me around. Besides from the way you guys act it seems you don't care about him ether. How do expect him to care about you if you don't care about him, and you say none of you can understand him, right. Then if you what to understand him why don't you ask Kari maybe you'll get somewhere in learning about him and if your confused about what I mean just take a look out side the window behind Sora,"
They all looked out the window. They saw Davis and Kari standing by the river in a forest clearing. Kari had her head leaned on Davis's shoulder and Davis was playing his flute.
"Do you guys think Kari knows more about Davis then we do?" asked Kualamon.
"Well I have seen her go into Davis's room a lot and stay in there for an hour then leave," said Cody.
They were all looking out the window then they all sat back down...
"Hey T.K you must be pretty upset seeing that, huh?" asked Patamon.
"No Patamon I'm not Kari told me that she enjoys hearing Davis play his flute and I think it does Davis some good to know that there's at lest one person paying attention to him," replied T.K.
"So your not worried?" asked Wallace.
"Not one little bit," replied T.K.
"T.K sometimes I feel like I don't know," said Matt confused
T.K smiled and everyone grew very confused except for Yolei. She was the only one who didn't care about what was going on right then she was to worried about Victor and what might happen to him...
"I have to know if Victor's ok," cried Yolei she got up out of her chair and walked through the door to the room that Victor was in. The doctors and nurses walked out when she walked in. One of the nurse said she was sorry as she walked passed Yolei. When Yolei was the only one left in the room she walked over to victor and kneeled down at the side of the bed he was in. She touched his motionless hand...
"Please don't die Victor, please, I need you," cried Yolei as a tear ran down here cheek...
"Where am I what is this place,"
Victor had began to speck quietly and softy in his sleep...
"He's dreaming, but what about?" asked Yolei.
This question bags even Victor himself as he lies in bed near death and not knowing it...
'Where am I?' asked Victor in his mind, 'Where is this,'
'Victor Maxwell,'
'Who there's?' asked Victor.
'Do not turn around, turn and I will leave,'
'Ok I want turn around, but tell me who are you?' asked Victor.
'That I will tell you in due time young Justice keeper, but right now we must keep you alive. The world needs the digidestened each and every one of them. Listen Victor to the song of Justice,'
A song of hope and sorrow begins to play in Victor's mind...
'What's this song that I'm hearing?' asked Victor.
'This song is the song of Justice a missing part to the power that can hold Darkness at bay. This song comes from a power the servers not light nor does it server darkness. It has the power to hold both light and darkness at bay. It is what keeps light and darkness from fighting each other. Darkness though tries it's best to attack light, but it is this power that keeps it from doing so, but if this power were removed darkness could over power light easily, because it is the power that keeps darkness away from light and gives light it's power to fight darkness with out this power darkness rules all,'
'Then where is this power we could use it right about no,' said Victor
'I am sorry, but now is not the time to discuss this now is the time for you to return to your friends, but do not fear I shell return to speak with you again, but until then tell no one we have spoken,'
'Hey wait I still...' said Victor then he woke up. He looked around the room and saw Yolei crying by his side he touched her head, "Hey Yo what's with the water works?"
Yolei raised her head, "Victor! Your alive" cried Yolei happily hugging.
"Hey you didn't think I'd die off that easily did yah?" asked Victor.
Yolei let go of him, "I just thought that you might have...oh Victor," cried Yolei hugging him again.
"Hey I'm glad to see you too," said Victor, but you mind handing me my shirt and jacket?"
Yolei let go of him and handed him what he asked for. Victor sat on the side of the bed and put on his shirt and then his jacket. Then he and Yolei got up and walked out of the room door to the others...
"Hey gang what's up?" asked Victor.
"VICTOR! Your alive," yelled everyone.
"Hey keep it down we're in a hospital remember," said Victor.
"Ok, ok, but it's good to see you back to your old self," said Komodomon, "How do feel pal,"
"I've flat better, but I should be fine by the time we need to go on our next mission," replied Victor.
"That will probably be after we find out what information is in the D, Tries and Victor, Matt and Jason are fully recovered," said Tai, "Now let's get back to base Kari and Davis are waiting out side,"
"Do we take the portal are do we all walk?" asked Hersheya.
"What do you think," replied Tai, "We're in the village remember we walk"
They walked out of the hospital where Davis and Kari waiting then they all began to walk down the street that lead to the base. Well walking down the street they were thanked by the people who just setting in after being freed that same day from Dieconesmon's rule. Their digimon all took off back into forest over to their dens expect for Tentomon, Wormmon, Armadillomon, Biyomon, and Hawkmon. Biyomon had built herself a nest on the roof of the base and Tentomon enjoyed resting in the Greenhouse. It was a fifteen minute walk to the base, when they got there they saw a hooded figure sitting in front of the door. They walked up to the figure and stood in front of it. Eric kneed down...
"Hey what are you doing? Are you one of the new civilians? Because if you are the law of the village says that no one is allowed to leave the village no matter what the reason unless you're a storekeeper or hunter," explained Eric.
"Eric, Eric Talera is that you?"
"Hey that's my name how do you know it?" asked Eric confused.
"Is Jason here too?"
"Yes he is, but how do you know my name?" replied Eric.
"Eric it's me Rena," the figure pulled off its hood showing the face of a young girl the same age as Sora.
"Rena," said Jason surprisingly walking up to her. He kneed down in front of her, "I didn't know if you were still alive,"
"I was luck, but my family was..." replied Rena sadly turning away.
"Hey it's ok the important thing is that your ok now and you'll never have to go back to the real world again," said Jason holding her shoulder's gently.
"I'm so glad your alive when that monkey said you were dead I didn't want to believe him, but after a year past and there had been sign of you are your digimon. I began to lose faith," explained Rena beginning to cry, "Oh Jason," she place her head on his crest and Jason held her close.
"It's ok now Rena," replied Jason calmly.
"Oh Jason I missed you so much," cried Rena.
The other digidestened were three feet behind him looking at them...
"So Eric what's the story between those two?" asked Mimi
"Rena's old friend of Jason's who he had to leave behind because her dad said she couldn't go with Jason on the former exchange problem to Japan. Jason wanted to stay behind with her, but Rena made him go," explained Eric, "The two of them have always been good friends and sometimes it seemed they were more. Rena always believed in Jason especially when we were in the out back camping are exploring during the summer,"
"So after all this time the two of them are back together," said Sora smiling.
Jason let go of Rena and turned to Tai, "Tai can I ask you something in private?"
"You don't need to ask because I already know what you're going to say and I've already come with an answer," replied Tai with a calm grumpy look on his face. Every looked at Tai worried that he was going to send Rena back to Kaloga, but then the grumpy look on Tai's face changed to a smile and Tai spoke, "She can stay, but she'll have to work. By cleaning up the upstairs of the base we're away and on the fact that you Jason sleep on the couch until we can get an extra bed in that room of yours,"
Jason smiled, "Ok Tai,"
Mimi and Hersheya walked up to her and looked at her. Rena got a confused look on her face why they were looking at her in a curious way.
"Why are you guys looking at me that way?" asked Rena confused.
"Hum...I think I have a dress that'll fit her, but we may have to take her shopping later on," said Hersheya.
"You'd do that for me?" asked Rena.
"You bet," replied Mimi smiling
"Because from here on you can consider yourself an honorary digidestend," said Yolei walking up.
"Thank you," replied Rena, "Oh I almost forgot the other reason I came up here. I have some information about Dieconesmon that you may be interested in,"
"You can tell us what you know inside," said Davis walking up and opening the door. He walked in and Kari followed him inside, then Jason helped Rena up off the ground and then they all went inside. They all changed and Hersheya gave Rena a dress and she changed into it. Afterwards and they all sat in the living room and Rena began to tell them her story.
"So Rena what's this information you have for us?" asked Hawkmon.
"I remember cleaning up the house of this large over grown snake when this white haired weird looking witch walk into the hall. She walked into the room where the snake was. I knew that if I walked over and was caught listening to their conversion I'd be killed, but something was driving me to listen. They began talking about some guy and then I began to hear something about time. Then one of then said this strange thing that sounded almost like a prophecy," explained Rena.
"Do you remember how it went?" asked Davis.
"It went something like this," said Rena, "Deserve..."
"Deserve not the harmony of the five elements of nature..."
"Hay who said that?" asked Terriermon surprisingly after hearing a familiar voice
"Unless their titans bring distraction upon the world in which they class. Though the digital worlds great guardians will arise to quill the fighting ales they shell fail, just the world will turn to the two warriors of the orange light. Into thy hands they'll bring together both sides, and their powers combined may tame the crest of time,"
"Hey that's just how it went," said Rena.
"Who's there?" asked Tentomon.
Then a flesh of light shined and lady with a white face and glowing yellow eyes appeared.
"Hello digidestened it's been a long time,"
"It's Ms. Natle," said Catherine.
"Natle it's good to see you again," said Biyomon.
"And you as well digidestened," replied Natle standing in the leaving room.
"So what's up is there anything you want to tell us?" asked Ken.
"I have a massage for you all. A massage that will help you all win your war and free your people," said Natle...
