Chapter Five

The Fight At London

----

It was early in the morning when Daisuke woke up. Chibomon was beside him, snoring away. Daisuke walked into the kitchen, hoping to get some breakfast, when he saw Faith sitting at the kitchen table, eating a bowl of cereal. "Good morning," said Faith in her British accent. She got up.

"What would you like?" she asked as she walked toward the counter, looking at Daisuke with bright blue eyes.

"Uhh...cereal," replied Daisuke.

Faith made him a bowl of Oreo O's. (Author's Note: One of my favorite cereals! ^_^)

While Daisuke chowed down, Faith finished her cereal & sat down on the counter. "So," she said. "Where do you come from?"

"Japan," answered Daisuke with his mouth full. "Wow!" said Faith. "That's at least halfway around the world!" added Faith, amazed.

"You know, in 1992, Japan & the United Kingdom had a literacy rate of 100%," said Faith in a scientific tone. "I know," said Daisuke.

"When are all your other friends gonna wake up?" asked Faith, changing the subject. "I would like to show them London today, especially Buckingham Palace," announced Faith enthuisiastically. Just then, Chibomon jumped into the kitchen.

"Hey Daisuke, good..." Chibomon stopped talking when he noticed Faith's pale face & wide blue eyes. Suddenly she screamed: "AAAAH! Talking blue head!" & passed out.

Daisuke looked at Chibomon, which looked hurt, then at Faith & back to Chibomon. Daisuke walked outside to see Koushiro & Yamato waking up. "Morning," he said. "Um, can you guys help me?"

"What happened?" asked Yamato suspiciously.

"Chibomon talking, Faith fainting," said Daisuke. He laughed nervously.

Yamato walked into the kitchen to see Faith sprawled out on the floor, with her elbow length hair in front of her face. Yamato picked Faith up & put her on the table.

Koushiro walked into the kitchen. Seeing Faith he remembered the time his mother fainted when Mrs. Izumi realized Tentomon could talk. Koushiro laughed at the memory, & got a wet towel & put it on Faith's forehead.

After a few minutes, Faith woke up. Yamato & Koushiro were in front of her. Then she saw Chibomon. "It...talks..." gasped Faith as she began to faint a second time. But Yamato shook her by the shoulders a few times. "WAKE UP!"

"STOP IT!" yelled Faith. She walked over to Chibomon & bent down. "Do...do all of the other weird things outside speak as well?"

Chibomon smiled. "Yeah."

----

Yuki was gazing into her crystal sphere in front of her. There was an image of Chibomon, Faith, Koushiro, Daisuke, & Yamato in it.

Yuki grinned sinisterly. "Halite!" she called.

Halite immediatly appeared in front of Yuki. He bowed. "Yes, Misstress Yuki?"

"You know where London is?" asked Yuki.

"Hai. What do you want me to do there?"

Yuki changed the image of Yamato, Daisuke, Chibomon, & Koushiro into a full body image of Faith.

"Kill this girl."

Halite took a good look at Faith. "Yes, Misstress."

Halite disappeared. Yuki smiled. She then laughed a cold, evil laugh.

----

Everybody else had woken up. Koushiro told everyone that Faith already knew that the Digimon could talk, so it was a relief to everybody.

"Get dressed!" shouted Faith from the stairs. "I'm showing you London today!"

----

A ring of fire appeared over Big Ben (You know that giant clock in London?).

Halite stepped out of the ring of fire. He cackled evilly. "Soon you will be mine...crest of fidelity."

Halite looked down on London, & gave himself a disguise.

----

Outside of Faith's house, everybody was gathered outside. Faith looked at everybody.

"Alright. Is everybody ready?" asked Faith. Everyone nodded.

"Oh yeah." Faith took out a few slips of paper & handed them out. "If anybody gets lost, this is my address, so you don't have to go walking around London searching for me. Understood?"

"Yes," replied the group.

"Then let's go!" yelled Faith as she ran into the busy London sidewalk.



"This is the Tower of London," explained Faith. "Many kings & queens were killed here, beheaded by an axe."

Miyako looked up at the tower. "It's enormous!"

"I know," Faith answered. "And if you're lucky, you can see the ghosts of the former kings & queens!"

Jyou paled. "Ghosts?"

Faith looked at him. "Yes! People say you can see a headless queen walking with her soldeirs in the middle of the night!"

"Amazing," breathed Sora. Biyomon looked up at her partner. "Let's go ghost- hunting!"

"Come on!" said Faith. "I wanna show you Buckingham Palace!"

----

A man with brown eyes & blue hair was peeking behind the Tower of London. Just wait, he thought. Soon YOU'LL be a ghost at the Tower of London.

----

"It's getting late," said Hikari.

"Yeah, we should start going home," agreed Faith. They began walking to Faith's crib when a bomb of fire exploded near Faith.

"Oh!" cried Faith as she fell.

"Who are you?!" demanded Taichi as he noticed Halite.

"Watashi wa Halite des."

Miyako took one look at him & swooned. He's so dreamy!, thought Miyako. But he's evil!

Daisuke glanced at his friend Veemon. "Let's fight fire with fire, Veemon!" Daisuke got out his D-3.

"Digi Armor Energize!"

"Veemon Armor Digivolve to...Flamedramon, the fire of courage!"

"Fire rocket!" Flamedramon aimed straight for Halite. He disappeared. "Where'd he go?" cried Ken as he frantically looked around.

"Help me!" came a shout from above. Halite had a knife pointed to Faith's throat!

"Don't let him kill me!" sobbed Faith, who was crying.

"Agumon!" Taichi's crest glowed.

"Agumon warp digivolve to...Wargreymon!"

Wargreymon began flying for Halite & Faith. Halite disappeared with Faith into another location in the sky.

"Damn it! Don't just stand there!" yelled Faith. She was absolutely terrified.

Daisuke picked up a rock & aimed for Halite's head. It hit him in the nose.

"Damn you!" cried Halite in pain.

"Now Wargreymon!" yelled Taichi.

Wargreymon had been hiding behind Halite all that time. "Terra Force!"

Halite's grip loosened on Faith. He let her fall. "Aaaaaaah!" cried Faith.

Flamedramon flew over & caught her.

"You saved me! You're my hero!" cried Faith as she gave Flamedramon a kiss on his cheek, which made Flamedramon blush.

Halite, meanwhile, was burned badly.

"I'll get you next time, Digidestined!" vowed Halite after disappearing into his ring of fire.

"Are you hurt?" asked Takeru.

Faith shook her head. "No. I'm fine, thanks to Flamedramon & Wargreymon."

----

"You failed me," hissed Yuki in disgust.

Halite had come back all black & blue.

"I'll give you one last chance, & then that's it. If you blow that last chance, you're done for."

Halite nodded & disappeared.

Yuki looked at the sphere. There was a picture of Mei walking down the street. Yuki grinned.

"You're such a good girl, Uchuu Mei."
