Chapter 6: Memories and Powers
"Takeru…look at this," Hikari pointed out.
"What is it?" he asked her.
"I'm not sure…but it looks familiar to me," she replied.
"Do you think that's the royal symbol?" Gatomon asked.
"Maybe…"
"Well let's see now…" Takeru said as he placed his hand on the top of the small jewelry box. Hikari placed her hand on top of his and so did Patamon and Gatomon. There was a blinding flash of light and they had disappeared form view.
"Hikari…are you alright?" Gatomon asked her.
"Yeah…I think so," she replied.
"Where are we?" Takeru asked.
"Look…it's File Island!" Patamon stated. They looked down and saw that they were floating in the sky high above Infinity Mountain. Hikari grabbed Takeru's arm, afraid to look down.
"Welcome Queen Hikari…I've been waiting for you," a voice said.
"Who's there?" Hikari asked.
"I am the voice of the things that have passed, I am to show you who you used to be," the voice said.
"But Genai said that Hikari was a Queen on Server…not File Island," Takeru said.
"Yes…but for you to fully understand, you must see this," it said. In another flash of light Takeru, Hikari, Gatomon, and Patamon were standing in a throne room.
"Who's that?" Hikari asked.
"He looks kind of like an Angemon," Gatomon said.
"Yes…that is King Takeru of the mountain province," the voice said.
"King Takeru!" Hikari yelled.
"Yes…that is why you two have always been close friends…see," the voice stated as someone entered the room.
"Queen Hikari…I am honored," King Takeru said as he stood up and bowed.
"King Takeru…I have come under unclear circumstances," the Queen said.
"What is it?"
"Myotismon has teamed up with Etemon…my kingdom is under siege and I have come to ask for your help," she replied.
"She looks like an Angewomon," Takeru whispered, causing Hikari to blush. King Takeru walked over to Queen Hikari and they hugged.
"You know I would do anything to help you," he said.
"I know…if only our kingdoms weren't so far apart from one another," she said still embracing him.
"So you're saying that in our past lives we were in love?" Takeru asked the voice.
"Yes…in fact you were planning on marrying one day. Then it happened," it said. In another flash of white light the group stood in a palace on Server. A sever battle was going on. They watched as Myotismon entered the room. King Takeru stood closely to Queen Hikari.
"Your kingdom is mine!" he yelled. Queen Hikari stepped towards him.
"You shall never have my kingdom!" she yelled.
"We shall see! GRIZZLY WING!" he yelled.
"NO!" King Takeru yelled as he pushed her out of the way. Queen Hikari watched as her only love was reformatted.
"No…no…NO!" she yelled as she turned to face Myotismon.
"Now my dear…you can surrender and I might spare you, or I can destroy you and take your kingdom by force," he sneered.
"Over my dead body!" she yelled.
"That's the point," he sneered again.
"CELESTIAL…"
"GRIZZLY WING!" he yelled before she could finish her attack. Hikari closed her eyes and curled into Takeru as the attack hit Queen Hikari. She was clutching her chest and looking determinably at Myotismon.
"You may have…won this battle…but I…will return…to…to claim my…kingdom. You…will…" she said but before she could finish her sentence she collapsed and, like her King, was reformatted.
"That's how we…died?" Takeru asked still holding a sobbing Hikari to him.
"Yes…unfortunately 'we' had no idea that you had planned to be reborn as humans. So now that you know this you can unlock your powers," the voice said.
"How? How can we do that?" Hikari asked as she looked at the vanishing scene before her.
"A reaction from the Crest…is the only way, I wish you good luck, to both of you," the voice said. In yet another flash of light they were back in the throne room of Queen Hikari's palace. Only this time it was in the present.
"Takeru! Hikari!" Yamato called as he ran towards his brother and Hikari.
"Yamato!" he yelled and waved to him.
"You guys okay?" Sora asked them.
"We're fine…and now we know how to beat Ladymyotismon," Hikari said.
"You mean…you did it?" Koushirou asked as he and Joe walked over to them.
"Yes…we unlocked our powers," Takeru stated.
"Your powers? You too Takeru?" Joe asked.
"Yes…let's go help Daisuke and the others," he replied.
"You did it?" Taichi asked.
"Where have you been?" Yamato asked. Taichi wiped the lipstick of his face as Mimi walked beside him and giggled.
"Let's go!" Takeru yelled as he held up his Digivice. The other children did the same and in the same column of rainbow light they returned to their own world.
