Defender of the Destined

Defender of the Destined

Chapter 6

Destiny Revealed

A/N: Sorry about the prophecy poem, I'm not too good at that sort of thing. Anyways, I need ideas for the ancient relics for each of those crests, otherwise, I won't be able to post the next chapter until I come up with something. And I would now like to thank all those who have reviewed my fic. Thank you for all the encouragement you've given me.

The Defender.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN DIGIMON! GOT IT? GOOD NOW LETS READ!!

The next day, everyone met at Tai and Kari's house for the next part of the reunion, and that's when the others realised the problem.

"Um, guys, there's a small problem," Izzy told Shawn. "We can't take Katie to the Digital world with us, she doesn't have a Digivice."

"Oh, I knew there was something I forgot to mention yesterday." Shawn suddenly remembered something he had left in his car. "Just wait a second, I'll be right back." Shawn ran out the door and came back carrying a few pieces of computer equipment. Izzy watched with the interest of a child who looked like he was in a candy store.

"May I ask a question?"

"Sure, go ahead Iz."

"What are you hooking up to the computer?"

"Well, it's a little something I made for Kate. It will allow her to travel to Digiworld." He explained as he continued to set up the equipment.

"Prodigis! I didn't know that could be done."

"I didn't either, I just made this last month and I've been looking for a good reason to use it."

"Um, can we hurry up? I don't think I can take much more of TK and Kari being all lovey dovey." Davis said out of annoyance. He was becoming sickened at how close Kari and TK were being in front of him.

"Just a sec, I want to take a look at this equipment." Izzy started to move towards everything Shawn had set up.

"Later, lets go to the Digital world." Shawn could sense if Izzy got any closer they would be there for hours. And the look on everyone's faces confirmed his thoughts.

Suddenly Izzy had realised something about what Shawn had just said. "Hay, how did you get to Digiworld if the gates been closed for the past few years, and how did you open a Digiport."

The questions were asked just as the portal opened and they disappeared from sight. When they arrived in Digiworld, they noticed that they were in front a lake that was very familiar, at least to the original Destined. Then, a tall man dressed in a white hooded robe appeared from a trail. He noticed the children standing there and walked over to them.

Cody was the first to notice the man and was happy to see him once again. "Hello Gennai, nice to see you again." His remarks drew the attention of everyone in the group, including Izzy, who was interrogating Shawn for more information about his ability to access the Digital World.

Just behind him, Ken noticed an older man coming out of the same path as Gennai did. "Gennai, who's your friend?"

"I'm not surprised you don't recognise me, but most of you should." The old man said, sounding like a riddle.

"But, it can't be," Joe was staring, "Gennai! But how can you both be here?"

"My younger self was created after you left the Digital world the first time. And when it came to the next set of Digidestined, I sent my younger, less confusing self to help them. However, since all of the Destined are needed now, I have returned."

There was a small groan that came from the original destined in finding out that the older Gennai had returned to make their lives miserable. He then walked over to Katie and examined the device on her wrist. "Very interesting Defender, I always knew you were resourceful. This is an ingenious device you have created."

Shawn's attention was caught on what this Gennai had called him. "You called me Defender. I've met you before haven't I? At camp when the others found out they were the Digidestined?"

"Yes, that was me. Now Faith, I have a small gift for you," he took his hand from behind his back and handed her a Digivice and the crest of Faith. The emblem resembled the crests of Hope and Light merged into a cross. "You will also be needing this to understand most of the others. You merely put it on your ear and you can understand Japanese, and it will allow you to speak it as well." He Said. "And for you Defender," he handed him a crest that had a shield with the crest of courage at its centre. "And these are for the rest of you." He held out each of the Destines Tag's and crests handed each one to them. "Now, for the new Destined," he held up a tag and crest for each. Theirs however, were different then the others. Each crest had a new symbol on it, Persistence for Davis, Truth for Yolie, and Honour for Cody (Sorry if these crest names were made up by any other writers, but these seem like the best crests to give the new kids.) "Now that that is done, I have a prophecy…" The kids again groaned even though they were still happy with the return and in some cases, the receiving of their crests.

"All destined, old and new,

must prove their crests to be true.

The relics of the first five,

Must become revived.

Hope and Light are as one,

Sincerity and Love both have one.

Reliability and Knowledge are easily found,

Courage and Friendship both have none,

While Faith and Defender are new,

Their relics must be used.

To help in the search, they need only this,

Use the stones of destiny as a guide,

For they hold the secrets needed to find."

"As you can see Digidestined, you must go find the some sort of ancient relic to help you defeat the new 'ultimate' evil. Since the first five were before even my time, I cannot help you. I can only help you with the last part of the prophecy, about the Destiny Stones. Each stone is representative of the your crests." He began.

"But Gegnnai," TK started, "There are only seven stones."

"I'm getting to that. Seven stones represent eight crests. Hope and Light, Faith and Life are one stone. And I'm guessing that these relics will help your Digimon get to the next level. That is why Courage and Friendship don't need theirs yet."

"Gennai, what about us?" Katie asked not sure of what to do.

"Well first, you need to find your partner before you can get your relic."

"And what about me?" Shawn asked.

"Well I have your relic here. Come into my house all of you." He said as he walked towards the lake.

When they got inside, he left the room and came back with a sword. "This is the Defender's Sword. Its power can be used to attain the one level that surpasses Mega, which Anzoolamon is currently at. But, the only way to achieve that level is when the Light has been darkened and Hope has died." He said with an emphases on TK and Kari's crests.

Shawn picked up on the hint, 'I won't let that happen to my sister or to TK' he thought to himself. Then another thought came to him, "Gennai, Hope cannot exist without light and vice versa right?"

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"Well if Hope dies Light dies too, but if Light lives Hope will also live as well right?"

"I guess that's true enough. By the way, has Goyomon been able to Digivolve yet?" Gennai asked.

"Actually, yes he has. He's been able to get to ultimate, about two years ago when those control spires appeared all over the world." Shawn responded.

"Strange, he should not have been able to do so without your crest. Oh, I almost forgot. Persistence, Truth, and Honour, I need to see your D-Terminals for one moment please." Gennai saw the confusion and fear on their faces. "Do not fear children, you will get them back." Gennai took the devices and quickly returned with a new D-Terminal for each Destined. "Courage, Friendship, Love, Sincerity, Knowledge, and Reliability, you will be needing these. Each one contains a Digi-egg, but you can only access them at Champion level or higher, understood. Good. Now go, you don't have long before the evil returns. Defender, I must speak with you alone."

Shawn looked nervous being singled out, but he went over to Gennai as the others left. "What is it Gennai?"

"I gave you your relic before everyone else for a reason, I will not tell you why, but where you would have found your relic, you must still go to pass your test to prove you are worthy of being the Defender. Oh, and one more thing, you cannot change what will happen to Hope and Light, but that does not mean it cannot be fixed. Remember, Miracles do happen, not often, but they do." And with that Shawn left the house more confused then before.

"I FOUND IT!" Izzy shouted from a hilltop. Everyone ran to where he was standing. Tentomon was hovering just above his right shoulder. When everyone was there, he pointed out the two points on his computer. "Look, these are the two Destiny Stones Gennai said that were Reliability and Knowledge. And between them, there is some sort of structure."

"Izzy thinks that the relics have to be in it." Tentomon buzzed.

"Well Joe, what do you think?" Gomomon asked.

"I don't think we have much of a choice, right Cody?"

"Right. Ready Armadillomon?"

"Ready Cody, lets go."

"Wait a minute," Tai said, he had been unusually quiet. "Doesn't this seem too easy? I mean, we've been travelling for three days, and we haven't seen any Digimon, good or bad. Its like they're avoiding us for some reason." Just as Tai finished, there was a loud crash from the forest.

"You had to open your mouth, didn't?" Matt said as they started to run towards the sound.

"Joe, Iz, Cody! Go and find that place and go get those relics!" Tai shouted. "When you get them, meet up with us! GO!" Tai didn't get any argument from any of them.

"Shawn, what should I do?" Asked Goyomon.

"What do you think? Digivolve!" Shawn shouted at his Digimon partner.

"Goyomon Digivolve to Gargoylemon!" The new Digimon stunned everyone. He was about six and a half feet tall and absolutely huge. He was easily three times as broad in the chest as any of the guys. His wings were like a bats wings (just think of Goliath from Gargoyles). He wore martial arts pants that were baggy and tucked into some bandages that wrapped around his ankles. The pants were black and the trimmings were red. He was also carrying a sword that was similar to Shawn's with the crest of the Defender on the handle. He also had a tattoo of the crest on his left arm as well.

"Who is he?" Tai asked in confusion as Augumon was trying to see if he should Digivolve as well.

"His name is Gargoylemon, he is a champion level Digimon with the power of an ultimate." Shawn explained to the group. By that time, Gargoylemon had leapt into the air and was flying ahead of everyone.

"Tai, should we Digivolve?" Asked Augumon.

"What? Ya go for it!"

"Augumon Digivolve to Greymon"

"Gabumon Digivolve to Garurumon"

"Byiomon Digivolve to Bridramon"

"Palmon Digivolve to Togemon"

"Patamon Digivolve to Angemon"

"V-mon Digivolve to X-Vmon"

"Wormon Digivolve to Stingmon"

"Hawkmon Digivolve to Aquillamon"

All of the Digimon, now in champion forms, all went ahead to where Gargoylemon was already standing. They arrived in time to see him throw his attack.

"Nova Wing!" He shouted as his wings became like fire. A large ball of fire was formed and was sent screaming towards its target. The target happened to be a Warumonzimon. The attack was met by his attack. He then countered Gargoylemon's attack with another one.

Gargoylemon was ready for this though, "Nova Shield!" He shouted as the attack hit the flaming shield in front of him.

"Shall we?" Asked Angemon. The whole group nodded.

"Hand of Fate"

"Nova Blast"

"Howling Blaster"

"Needle Spray"

"Meteor Wing"

"V-Laser"

"Grand Horn"

"Spiking Strike"

All the attacks flew towards the evil Digimon. It was finished off with Gargoylemon's ultimate attack in this form. "Heaven's Fire!" He swung his sword and a flaming crescent of fire sped towards his enemy. The Warumonzimon was vaporised as all the attacks hit him at once. After his deletion, all the Digimon devolved into their former selves except for Gargoylemon. When the destined saw what had happened, they were a little concerned.

"What happened?" Asked Yolie.

"There was a Warumonzimon attacking a group of Digimon." Said Gargoylemon as he slammed his fist into a tree.

"Where are they?" Kari asked holding on to Gatomon, fearing that she didn't want to hear the answer.

"He destroyed them just as we got here. Just as Gargoylemon threw his attack." Augumon replied with depression in his voice.

"What! How could he?" Davis shouted.

"He just did! I couldn't get here in time! If I had been here two seconds earlier…" He couldn't finish. He may have been big and scary, but he had a good heart and didn't like to see other beings hurt. He collected himself quickly and suggested that they head towards Joe, Izzy and Cody. As they were walking ahead of him, a single tear fell down his face. He knew he would have to do this again soon.
