Defender of the Destined

Defender of the Destined

Chapter 3

On To Summer Camp: Back to Canada

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.
