Defender of the Destined
Chapter 7
First of all, I'd like to apologize for this chapter, not my personal
best, but not the worst either. I was
hoping to get a different relic for each destined, but I had a hard time
thinking of any. Again, thank you to
all those who have been reading this fic. I've already decided that there will be a sequel to this so keep your
eyes open. Now that this is over with,
lets do the legal stuff:
Disclaimer: (in a computerised
tone) I do not own Digimon.
"So Izzy, where is
it?" The flying bug asked.
"I believe it is a few
more minutes ahead of us, Tentomon."
They arrived at the
old building. It looked ancient, like a
temple that would be found in a rain forest. The entrance was about twenty feet high, and at the top had the crests
of Reliability and Knowledge on it.
"So, you're easy to
find." Commented Cody as they walked
towards the entrance. They stopped when
they heard a loud sizzling sound come from the others direction. Cody looked towards the way his friends
went. "I hope they're okay."
"Don't worry about
them, I'm sure what ever it is they have it under control." Joe assured him. There was another loud noise like a knife slicing through air. "Still, it can't heart to hope."
"I think we'd better
get inside and find the relics." Said
Izzy who was eyeing a huge Kuogumon heading towards them. He motioned towards it. "Get what I mean?"
"Don't worry Izzy, I
don't think he's seen us yet." Tentomon
buzzed. They got inside the building
and waited. Five minutes went by and
they didn't hear anything.
"I believe that is the first
lucky break we've ever had." Gomomon
spoke up as they started walking again.
"No kidding. It seems like we've had a few too many lucky
breaks over the past few days." Said
Joe being his former pessimistic self again. They stopped as they reached the central chamber.
"Wow!" Armadillomon exclaimed.
"Prodigous." Was all Izzy could say.
Cody started to walk to the
centre of the room. There were four huge
pillars and at their centre, were three smaller pillars, much smaller. Each had a crest engraved on it. "I think we've found the relics." Cody stated. He walked up to the pillar of Honour. "I wonder what we're suppose to do?" As he said this, he touched the engraved image. He was startled when it began to glow. He then noticed his crest start to glow in
response to the image. A glow at the
top of the pillar caught his attention. The light grew in intensity and engulfed him. When it recited, Cody felt unchanged. He was wonder if there was something wrong, when he noticed the
light on either side of him. Izzy
emerged from the light looking the same with one exception, he now had a
leather bound book in his hands. Suddenly it began to glow and disappear. As that happened, a visor appeared over his left eye, and on his
arm, was what looked like a computer. 'How could that be? I thought that these were ancient relics. Well the book was at least.' He then looked over at Joe who appeared like
he did. "How come Izzy was the only one
to get anything?" Cody asked.
"Prodigous! Oh what? Sorry, I don't know why Cody." Izzy pondered as he examined the new gifts he had been given. He popped open the computer console strapped
to his arm. "Um, Cody, can I see your
D-Terminal?"
"Sure. What for?" Cody inquired. He handed the
pocket computer to his friend.
"I think I just found your
gift." He said as he held up the
D-Terminal and showed him the screen. There was a new icon on the screen. Izzy handed it back and Cody openned the file. He felt a strange sensation as the Digital World gave his
D-Terminal an update. He noticed a
third Digi-egg appear on the screen. This was the Digi-egg of Honour.
Joe noticed an increasing
wait and quickly looked to his back and then let out a small sigh as he was
stuck with a bag again.
Joe and Izzy were talking
when they heard a noise. They turned to
see their friends walk in the huge chamber with a new Digimon. Just as they noticed the new Digimon, the
computers that both Izzy and Cody had started to beep. They were both shocked again when a female
voice chirped up on their headphones.
"New Digimon identified,
Augumon, rookie Digimon, attack pepper breath,"
"Cancel! Cancel!" Izzy said, realising that the computers were
voice activated as well. "Identify
yourself computer."
"I am the Digimon
Encyclopaedia." It informed him. "Dee
for short."
"Um, Okay, well Dee who is
the non-rookie Digimon?"
"Unknown."
"What!"
"Izzy, what's up?" Asked Tai.
"These are our relics, but
mine seems to be malfunctioning."
"I am functioning
correctly." It announced.
"Then who is that?" He said
pointing to Gargoylemon.
"Unknown"
"Agh!!"
"Don't worry Iz,"
Gargoylemon said, "I'm not surprised it doesn't know me."
"And why is that?"
"Because I am a new type of
Digimon."
"Who are you?"
"Goyomon."
"It's a long story, I tell
you as we go find the next set of relics." Shawn said as they started to leave.
The destined were heading
for the next set of relics. Davis had
just received his relic which also turned out to be a new Digi-egg. It was the Digi-egg of Persistence. Tai and Matt were wondering why they
hadden't gotten anything.
"So Iz, where is the next
place?" TK asked. They were getting near the spot that Patamon
became MagnaAngemon to stop Blackwargreymon.
"Just over the hill." He informed the group.
They all stopped dead in
their tracks at what they saw. It was a
church with the Hope, Light and Faith crests on it. There were two angel statues on either side of the door. They were both archers, looking as though
they were truely protecting the treasures that were inside. They both seemed familiar. TK, Kari and Katie all went inside as the
others followed in awe behind them.
"Why do they get such a nice
place for their relics?" Mimi asked in
complete annoyance.
"Because they are the
guardians of the three most important crests that exist." Explained Izzy.
When they were all inside,
the group noticed that it looked similar to the other two. The only difference was the centre pillar
held the Digi-egg of a Digimon. Katie
ran to as fast as she could and picked it up. TK and Kari slowly walked up behind her to their pillars. The light was painfully bright to the
others, but at the same time it gave them a warm feeling inside.
When the light was gone and
the group could see again, they were shocked at what they saw. TK and Kari both had new clothes and were
carrying an archer's bow as the angels outside had. Thing most shocking thing was the angelic clothing that was the same
as Angemon and Angewomon. They were
still glowing with an immense amount of power when Dee began to speak.
"Incoming signal." Informed Dee.
"Hello children, I see that
Hope and Light have found their relics." The voice of Gennai said.
"Um, ya. What's the deal Gennai?"
"Well, being the angel
children, the only way to use their relics is like this. When you leave, they will revert back to
themselves, but since they are so powerful, they cannot contain their energy
like the rest of you can."
"The rest of us?" Izzy looked puzzled.
"You will find out
later. You must move quickly now, you
don't have much time." As they were
leaving Gennai spoke to Shawn.
"Now that Faith and the
Angels are found, you must find your other gift." And with that, he left Shawn confused and heading towards the
group.
He heard Davis shouting "Why
does TG get to be like Kari?"
"Because Hope and Light are
one." Shawn informed as he got to the
group. "Listen, Gennai told me I have
to go find something, so you guys go get last of the relics, understood?"
Kari was about to object,
but Tai stopped her. "I take it this is
some sort of test?"
"I don't know, but I have to
do this alone, besides I won't be defenceless, I'll have Gargoylemon
around." And with that, they both took
off, but not before saying goodbye to Katie.
"Great, just great." Kari said in frustration. It had been two days since Shawn had left to
do his quest, and now they were having trouble finding the last of the relics. She was happy however, Katie, Shawn's
girlfriend finally had her Digimon. It
still hadn't hatched, but her and TK were helping her protect the egg.
"Hay guys!" Tai shouted. "We found the last temple!" Within a minute, everyone was running towards to the building. It was slightly different than the others
though, it had Three crests on it for Yolie, Sora and Mimi. When they got there, Sora jumped onto Tai
and gave him a huge hug.
"You found it!" Sora was to excited.
"You do remember he had a
little help." Matt mentioned as he
stepped out from behind a tree.
"Well, I guess you need to
be rewarded as well." Mimi said as she
jumped Matt and crushed him and gave him a long, passionate kiss.
The group slowly walked into
the entrance. Tai and Sora, Matt and
Mimi, Ken and Yolie, and TK and Kari held onto each other. Davis saw this and was getting steamed.
'Just you wait, TF, I'll get
you yet.' Then Davis remembered what
Gennai had said and sighed. He came to
a sudden realisation, 'TK and Kari have to be together, Hope and Light can't exist
without each other. What am I
thinking? No they don't! I don't care how strong you get TE, Kari
will be mine yet!' He chuckled to
himself under his breath.
"Finally, we have them
all!" Tai jumped for joy. Sora had received a broach of Love and Mimi
had one as well. Ken was surprised that
he had received two Digimentals, one of kindness and the other of
miracles. He was happy that he could
now armour Digivolve like the other Digimon.
"Kari, what's bothering
you?" TK asked.
"I'm just worried about my
brother, that's all."
"Oh, it has been a while
hasn't it. Katie, do you think that
Shawn's okay?" TK asked.
"What? Oh, right. I do think he's fine, but that doesn't mean I don't worry about
him." Katie said. Suddenly the egg in hand started to
hatch. "What the…"
"Dee, I.D. the new
Digimon." Izzy said.
"Unknown Digimon."
"Agh, not again!"
"It must be another new Digimon."
"I'm sure we'll know soon
enough who it is." Cody said.
Their thoughts were
interrupted by a sudden explosion that rocked the ground.
"You Digidestined are about
to meet your worst nightmare. Even if I
fail to destroy you, those after me won't…"
