Defender of the Destined
Chapter 3
Well, thanks for reviewing my fic so far, I am having a little trouble
getting on to fanfiction this morning, so this was posted later than I wanted
to post it. Again this was the original
second chapter so I'm sorry if the last one wasn't as good. This involves the children's first trip to
Digiworld. So enjoy. I also changed the last name of Shawn's
parents to Norco. Sorry for any
confusion.
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, I only own me, myself and I which
happens to be Shawn.
This is a plea for
help. I have a large writers block
currently and I need some help to figure out what kind of ancient relics each
crest would have go with it. So if you could, when you review, please put in
some ideas for these relics. And please
have them try and go with the specific crest they were meant for. Thank you in advance for your contribution.
"HEY TAI" Shawn yelled. Tai, who was sitting peacefully in a tree, jumped at the sound of
his older brother's voice. Tai had been
hoping Kari would come on this trip so it would the three of them, but she was
at home, sick and in bed.
"What did you have to
go and do that for?" Questioned
Tai. In the few years that Shawn had
been living with the Kamyia's, had practically become real brothers, forgetting
the fact that Shawn was adopted. Right
now, was one of those brotherly moments that they were sharing. "I thought you'd be over on the other side
of camp, after all, that's were all the older kids are." Tai then noticed his brother seemed to be
happy about something, and it wasn't the snow that had just fallen. "Shawn what's up?"
"Tai, I just got a
phone call from my parents…" Shawn was
hoping Tai would clue in, but as usual he was too dense.
"What! Mom called! Is Kari Okay?" Tai was starting
to worry over their little sister who was sick.
"Tai, you didn't
listen. My parents called here." Shawn said it more slowly so Tai could clue
in this time.
"Wait a minute, you
mean from Canada?" Tai was amazed at
this idea, because they were always told that Shawn's parents had died in a car
accident.
"Yeah, and I need the
phone number for where mom and dad are to tell them. After eight years, I'm finally going to see my parents
again." Tai quickly gave the number to
his brother who left a few minutes before all of the original destined were
brought to the digital world. However,
on his way back to head lodge where the only phone was located, Shawn found a
small white pager on the ground, so he picked it up. Thinking to himself "This is the strangest pager I've ever
seen…" Shawn suddenly dropped it when
he noticed what was on the screen. It
read "Name: Shawn, Digimon Level: Rookie, Power: 99%" the fact that it had Shawn's name on was strange, but acceptable,
other people were named Shawn, not many, but there were others. What really made him drop the strange device
was the word Digimon on it. The last
time he'd heard that term, he nearly lost his brother and his sister. Shawn though, was too happy to be brought
down by this, he soon reminded himself that his parents had found him and that
he could go home to see them again. Shawn was so happy he didn't notice the two pair of emerald green eyes
that were watching him from the forest.
Shawn had just
finished talking to the Kamyia's, who were shocked by what they had just herd
and were heading home as soon as they could. For them, it was still a three hour trip back home so it gave Shawn time
to think about what he would do when he got home. "I'd better go get Tai and his friends…" Thought Shawn. He was on his way back to where he'd left
Tai and his friends. As he walked back
to them, he noticed a ruby red light that was surrounding him. Then he heard a strange voice of an old man.
"Defender…" It said.
"Who or what are
you? And why are you calling me
defender?" Asked Shawn in surprise.
"Defender, my name is Gennia. I have come here to tell you of your
destiny. You are the Defender of the
Destined. You are their protector, the
one that must keep them safe from themselves and from the evils of the Digital
World." Gennai explained to
Shawn. "You are powerless now, but when you are needed, you will become
stronger then the Destined, with the exception of the two angels who will have
powers far greater then you could ever imagine."
"What do you
mean? What are you talking about?"
Shawn asked.
"Um, perhaps I should start from the beginning. You see…" He began to explain the story of what had happened up to that
point with the other Digidestined. "And now they have returned to the real
world to find the eighth child and save both worlds. As far as the prophecy says, you will not be needed until a new
generation of Destined is born." Gennai explained.
"Well, I won't be here
in Japan to protect them, I'm going back to my parents in Canada. I won't be able to stay here and to protect
them." Said Shawn. "There is absolutely nothing I can do."
"Don't worry Defender, you will not have to do anything for quite some
time. This, however, doesn't mean you
cannot have your Digimon partner. Defender, I would like you to meet Goyomon, your partner. He is a special Digimon with special
abilities. All you will have to do is
wait, and you will know when you are needed. Fair well Defender, and remember that you are here to protect the
Destined and keep them safe." Were
Gennai's final words.
"Wait!" Shawn didn't have time to finish as he heard
Tai Shouting.
"We're back!" Lets go find this eighth child. As Shawn walked back to the others he felt
like he was being followed. He turned
around and saw a strange creature following him.
"I take it you're
Goyomon. Well come on then, lets go
find these DigiDestined." Shawn simply
stated. He had seen a Digimon before,
so this didn't shock him too much.
Tai was happy to be back to
the real world again. He didn't know
what to do first. Then it hit him. He hadn't seen his family in months. Tai's thoughts were interrupted by an older
mans voice.
"There you are! I came to tell you that camp is ending early
because of the strange weather." Said
their teacher.
"Tai!" Shawn said. He then noticed the creatures that Tai and his friends were all
holding. Another thing Shawn noticed
was how ratty all their clothes looked. 'Could they be the Digidestined that the strange man was talking
about. If so, then I have to protect
them.' Shawn thought, as he was being
followed by Goyomon. The teacher continued to talk to the younger kids. After they were finished talking, Shawn went
over to the kids with his new Digimon. "I believe you are the Digidestined?" Shawn began to ask them uncertainly.
"Um, ya, but how did
you know that?" Asked a small kid in an
orange shirt. He was also carrying a
laptop on his back. Shawn remembered
Tai saying his name was Izzy.
"Well, some voice said
that I was one of you." Shawn was aware
that they had returned to find the eighth Digidestined.
"Wait, if he's one of
us, that means he's the eighth child and we beat Myotismon to him." Said an older kid wearing glasses.
"Maybe, but I didn't
think that it would be this easy to find him. Gennai said the eighth child was in the city, not at camp." Izzy replied, he was obviously not being as
optimistic as the older kid was.
"You know Joe, that's
the first time I've heard you say anything that wasn't such a downer." Said a girl in pink.
"Um, Tai?" Shawn said. He wasn't certain how he was going to explain this whole thing to
them. "There is a small problem. In two days, I'm going to meet my parents
for the first time in eight years, and I can't help you. Besides, I was told that I would know when
I'm needed, and right know, I don't think its me your looking for." This made everyone in the group a little
upset. So Shawn decided to end on a
better note. "I was told though, that
the person your looking for is far stronger than me and when you find them, you
guys won't be stopped by anything." This cheered up everyone, and on that note, they all headed for the
buses.
A few days latter,
after the Digital world had disappeared from the sky, Shawn was getting ready
to meet some people he hadn't seen in years. Tai and Kari, who turned out to be the eighth child, didn't think it was
fair that their brother got to keep his Digimon partner while theirs had to stay
in Digiworld. "You heard what the old
man said, because Goyomon is unique, he has to stay with me. Besides you shouldn't be worrying about that
right now."
The two realised what
he meant, and the nervousness of meeting the real parents of their older
brother was starting to sink in. Shawn
had really wanted to make a good impression on them and Tai and Kari knew
this. As Shawn looked at his brother
again, he still couldn't shake how strange not only was meeting his parents,
but Tai's hair for the first time ever, had been combed. Everyone was dressed up not knowing what to
expect from the people coming from Canada. Another reason Shawn was nervous was he couldn't remember any of his
English. He was too nervous and he was
scared of talking to his parents. Shawn's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of the door buzzer,
this was it, he would finally get to see his parents again.
Mr. Kamyia opened the
front door and was introduced to Mr and Mrs. Norco. They came in and saw their son for the first time in years. Despite the Japanese food he had been eating
for the past few years, he had grown up into quite a tall person. He wasn't as tall as his dad, but he was close. They were both holding back tears of joy for
seeing their son again. They had in
fact, been scared that he might reject them and not want to leave, so they had
planned for that.
Shawn was looking at
his parents, first his dad, and then to his mom, and at her sweat sight, he
broke into tears of joy. For the next
few hours, it was merely an exchange of life stories, and then the Norco's
wanted to start talking about were he wanted to live. They were also holding back that about two years ago, they had
won a lottery and had invested the money smartly. His dad started…
"Shawn, we weren't
sure about you wanting to go back to Canada right away, so we had decided to
stay here in Japan for a few weeks so that you could slowly get use to us if
you'd like."
Shawn was kind of hurt
when his parents said this, but then again he could understand why they
wouldn't expect him to return right away. "It's okay, I want to go back to Canada, I've known for all these years
that you weren't dead, because if you would have died, a part of me would have
died as well. Um, there is one small
problem though, I have a friend who is going to have to come back with us, and
there's no question about it." Shawn
went to the room where he had been keeping Goyomon. "Mom, dad, I'd like you to meet a close friend of mine…" After reviving both of Shawn's parents twice
all three kids went on explaining the story.
A few weeks later, all
of the Digidestined were at the airport saying goodbye to their friend. Shawn was promising that he would be back to
visit during the holiday's and during the summer as well. Just as the plane began to board, the
Kamyia's looked at their oldest son, he might not be theirs biologically, but
he was still their son, and said a final goodbye. They didn't really expect him to return, but then again
anything's possible after what they have seen.
Shawn kissed his
adoptive family goodbye for one last time, hoping he could keep the promise of
returning. As he boarded the plane, he
was pulled aside by his parents, "Shawn, one reason we didn't want you to return
home with us right away is because of a secret he have you see…" As Shawn
listened he suddenly realized how lucky he was and started to think that maybe
his life wasn't really that bad. Then
the words hit him like a brick wall. And to that, Shawn didn't say anything, he
just stopped and smiled. Yes he was
really lucky to have his parents back, and from there, he continued to board
the plane for Canada.
