Defender of the Destined
Chapter 6
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.

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.
