I don't own Digimon, I wish I did....
This chapter is a bit slow since (I didn't do enough planning and set-up in the previous chapter) so I'm sort of stuck with a few things. Hopefully the next chapter comes out a little better.
Digital Convergences Chapter 2 - "Convergence"
by Vivi-Chan
-----
They hadn't gone very far when Terriermon realized that Renamon and Monodramon
hadn't come along. "Wait, Guilmon!" called out Terriermon, from it's perch on
Guilmon's back.
"Eh? What's wrong Terriermon?" Guilmon asked slowing from its trot.
Terriermon crawled up to stand on Guilmon's head and stood tiptoed with its
ears/wings outstretched for balance. "Ah! This is terrible.... Renamon and
Monodramon are fighting!" Terriermon pointed with a tiny paw.
"We have to stop them," said Guilmon, turning around.
Terriermon hopped off of Guilmon, "I'll go tell Jian!"
"All right!" Guilmon turned to trot back towards the two fighting Digimon.
Terriermon watched Guilmon for a moment before breaking into a run. It was
times like this that it wished for longer legs or even a Speed Option card....
Flying in this weather wasn't an option - the gusts were going the OTHER
way... "Jian...." it said.
Terriermon knew, with an absolute certainty that the figures descending from
the skies above were Jian and the others. They'd come back... and just in
time. Pouring every ounce of strength into his legs, he ran. He hoped there
would be enough time.
It had seemed forever before he crested the hill in the direction that they'd
fallen. It wouldn't have been that far if Guilmon had been running. He could
see three of them at last. There was Jian, Ruki, Ryo... and he finally caught
sight of Takato, crawling out of one of the craters.
Takato was just like Guilmon... just a little clumsy. Jian and Ruki had their
sunglasses on. Smart move. The winds here, after all, were terribly fierce. As
if to emphasize the point a strong gust threatened to sweep it away.
"Jiaaaaan!!!!!" it cried out. Was Jian close enough to hear him? Over the
wind?
Terriermon tumbled backwards. It had to reach Jian! "JIAN!!!!"
-----
"Ow... ow...." muttered Takato dragging himself slowly out of the impact
crater he'd created.
"Are you all-right?" Jianliang leaned over to help Takato up.
"Yeah..." Takato muttered. The brown-haired boy shielded his eyes against a
sudden gust of wind and snapped his goggles in place over his eyes. "Now to
find Guilmon and the others!"
"Do we even have any idea HOW to find them?" asked Ruki dusting herself off.
"They'll find us," replied Ryo, scanning the horizon. He seemed so confident.
"It'd be great if they were in this plain... it could take DAYS for them to
find us if they're in any of the other places," complained Ruki. "This was
such a badly planned trip. If we get eaten by some hungry Digimon I'm going to
so hurt you, Takato."
Jianliang decided wisely, not to get involved in this. Well... maybe he
should... Takato looked really nervous right about now. "Don't blame Takato,"
he said in his calmest voice. "We all followed Ryo into the Digital World
right?"
Ruki, looked even more annoyed but remained silent at that. Ruki liked to be
contrary it seemed. It felt at times, that Ruki was trying to prove she was
every bit as good as Ryo.
Jianliang was about to say something else when he heard Terriermon. It wasn't
voice so much as a mental cry. It wasn't just him, he realized after a moment.
The other Tamers had frozen in place, in a pose of strained attention.
"Something's wrong," said Takato...
"That way!" said Ruki, her D-Ark out and already scanning the area. She
pointed.
"Let's go!" said Takato.
They hadn't been running for long before Jianliang caught sight of a familiar
pair of ears. They were flapping wildly as Terriermon clung desperately to a
rock during a particularily violent gust of winds.
"Terriermon!" exclaimed Jianliang running forward.
"Jiiiiian!!!!" Terriermon exclaimed. "Renamon and Monodramon are fighting!
Guilmon stayed back to help! We have to stop them!"
"Renamon!? If anything happens to Renamon," said Ruki savagely, "I'm kicking
your ass!" Ruki broke into a run with Ryo hard on her heels.
"Nothing's going to happen to Renamon," Ryo vowed, "I won't let it!"
Jianliang glanced to Takato, "We have to hurry!" Terriermon assumed his
position clinging to his shoulder, his weight was reassuring, and Jianliang
almost couldn't believe how much he'd missed it.
"What happened?" Ryo called back to them. Jianliang and Takato were doing
their best to catch up.
"Well-" said Terriermon... "We found a human... and then Guilmon and I went to
find you... but when I looked back Renamon and Monodramon were already
fighting."
"I didn't catch that!" Ryo called out.
Jianliang called out, "Terriermon says that they met a human.... Terriermon
didn't see who started the fighting."
"Thanks!" Ryo called out.
As they ran, Jianliang heard a beeping coming from Ryo's bag.
Ryo, too, noticed it and at last pulled that package the woman in red had left
behind. He ripped off the rest of the wrapping to reveal some sort of device.
"A Reload Machine...?"
What was a Reload Machine? It sounded like Ryo had seen one before.
"What did this human look like?" Ryo asked.
"Well.." said Terriermon. "He had hair longer than Jian's.... he was wearing a
white and grey. I don't remember too well..." the small Digimon confessed.
"Ah! Over there! Over there!"
------
Daisuke was aware of the others trailing him. Cursing Takeru he wondered why
no one ever seemed to listen to him. Pegasmon, Nefertimon and Holsmon were
soaring in the turbulent skies above - it seemd that Iori and Armadimon were
riding with Miyako.
"Kuso~" cursed Daisuke. How had Ken managed to travel so far? Had they been
unconscious for a while? "Hurry it up!" He had caught sight of what had looked
to be fighting and was hoping the Digimon weren't fighting over Ken.
Holsmon skimmed the ground almost next to Lighdramon, Miyako was clinging for
dear life. "We must hurry."
"I know that," said Lighdramon.
There was a beeping sound coming from his D-Terminal and he opened it...
trying to read it without being blown off of Lighdramon. The wind here was
immensely annoying.
We've got company. Hikari and I will head them off if they're hostiles.
- Takeru
"Why does Takeru always have to be the one to go with Hikari-chan?" muttered
Daisuke. It made him jealous to see Takeru and Hikari always together. It
wasn't fair. It wasn't fair at all.
Daisuke looked up towards Takeru, the blond-haired boy pointed in the
direction that he'd seen the people. Sure enough there humanoid shapes. He
didn't see any signs of Digimon though... unless that red thing and gold thing
and grey thing up-ahead were theirs.
Pegasmon and Nefertimon arced upwards into the currents and veered towards the
other group. Daisuke watched them go, feeling a surge of jealousy towards
Takeru. A jarring leap from Lighdramon brought him back to reality, what was
he doing thinking about Hikari-chan at a time like THIS? Ken needed his help.
-----
It seemed to be hours later, that Koushirou finally received any sort of
response from Gennai-san.
"I'm glad to hear you're all right," said Gennai-san. On Koushirou's monitor
screen, the now much younger Gennai - dressed in robes of white trimmed in
sepia appeared.
Koushirou placed a hand over the earpiece pressing it against his ear to
listen more carefully. There seemed to be a bit of static in the transmission.
"Taichi-san, Yamato-san and I are well, although we seem to be unable to
contact Daisuke and the others." Koushirou then added, "Do you have any
reccomendations for the course of action we should take?"
Gennai spoke. "I fear the worst for the others. I have lost complete track of
them. It is possible that they fell through a tear in the fabric of space and
time, in which case, it may well be beyond the scope of my powers to locate
them."
"A tear in the fabric of space and time?" Koushirou repeated just to ensure
that he'd heard correctly.
"Correct... It has happened before, albeit only once before," Gennai replied.
There was something that Gennai wasn't telling them, it seemed. "It'll be
easier if I explain it all of you at once... you and the others with you must
travel to my home. Whamon will arrive to bring you to the main continent. I
will contact you again when you reach Folder."
"Understood, I'll be awaiting your contact," Koushirou replied. He switched to
the email program, waiting for return emails. So far he'd received replies
from Jou, Mimi and Sora. He had still heard nothing from Daisuke and the
others.
"I hope everyone's all-right..." he said softly closing his laptop to send it
into sleep mode. He stood up, brushing off the sand that clung to his legs to
wait for both Whamon and the scouting Taichi and Yamato. He mused that things
certainly never stayed peaceful for long. Not that he minded much. There were
always opportunities to learn new things this way. Like that conversation with
Gennai just now.
------
Ken's mind seemed to float in a disembodied haze. Pain, confusion, worry....
all of it seemed insignificant in comparison to what he felt right now. There
was nothing but the senseless giddy joy that made him laugh. He had no idea
who he was... where he was... it didn't matter. Just the beautiful siren's
keen of chaos and distruction as he watched the trio of Digimon.
"Cease this now, Monodramon!" called out the golden fox Digimon. "How dare you
attack a human!" The fox Digimon held the grey creature by its tail.
"We don't want to fight you!" said the red Digimon.
The grey creature called Monodramon seemed beyond any sort of reasoning as it
broke free of Renamon and lunged once more at Ken.
The red digimon headbutted Monodramon, knocking him barely out of the way...
Ken winced as he felt a razor sharp claw rake against his arm. He clutched at
his arm, seeing a thin line of red well up. He stared down at it, fascinated.
Another distraction came.
"Ichijouji!!!!" His mind automatically classified the voice. This was a
physical voice he recognized.
There was a second voice as well, "Ken-chaaaaaan!"
And a third, "Ken-kun!!!!"
The trio of voices somehow managed to penetrate through the symphony of chaos
and destruction that keened in his mind. Coming back to himself gradually, he
began to feel the throbbing pain in his neck. He felt his stomach churning.
Most of all, he felt sick... what had just happened?
----
"Something's coming," said Terriermon, pointing upwards. Jianliang recognized
it as two Digimon swooping towards them. Looking back up at the two Digimon,
he caught sight of riders. Other Tamers? One appeared to be a fairly cute
girl. The other was a boy with touselled blond hair.
Jianliang had pulled his D-Ark and was scanning the white Digimon.
"Nefertimon... Armored Vaccine Holy Beast Digimon.... Attack is Curse of
Queen..."
Obediently, Terriermon switched its focus on the second horse-like Digimon.
"Pegasmon.... Armored Vaccine Holy Beast Digimon... Attack is Silver Blaze..."
The two Digimon circled to land directly between them and where Monodramon
and Renamon were fighting.
"Out of my way!," exclaimed Ryo. He was clearly impatient especially since
they were now close enough to literally be within shouting distance. Ryo had
no interest in listning to these two newcomers - then again Jianliang couldn't
fault him.... Cyberdramon had been a combative Digimon... although Monodramon
hadn't seemed overly so.... Stopping Monodramon before it hurt anything was
the most important thing.
"Why are you stopping us?" demanded Ruki, she craned her neck trying to see
past Nefertimon's white wings. "We don't have time for this!"
"Just listen to what we have to say for a moment," said the blond-haired boy.
"Who are you?" asked Takato. "Are you Tamers too?"
"Tamers?" asked the blond, looking towards the female. The term obviously
wasn't familiar to them.
"We don't have the time to explain," said Takato. "Please just let us pass and
we'll explain later!"
"I don't have time for this! Monodramon!!!!" called out Ryo as he broke into a
sprint circling around Pegasmon. "Stop it!!!! Now!!!!"
"Renamon! Kick Monodramon's ass!" Ruki, having decided on the same strategy,
ran around Nefertimon.
"Wait Ryo! Ruki!!!" exclaimed Takato.
"Aaaah, they went bye-bye" said Terriermon as it hung from its perch on
Jianliang's neck. "Are we going too?"
"They're fighting each other....?" asked the blond astride the Pegasmon,
evidently confused. "Why are their Digimon fighting each other?"
"We have to stop them... please, don't try to stop us!" said Jianliang.
"What should we do, Hikari-chan?" asked the blond boy. "Should we let them
pass?"
The girl, named Hikari, seemed indecisive but she nodded. "Yes... I think it'd
be best..."
The two Digimon stepped aside, opening a path for Takato and himself.
"Thank you!" exclaimed Takato running forward. "We'll explain everything
later! Promise!!"
It was looking rather like a bad stand-off as they reached the scene...
Jianliang wasn't sure when he'd ever seen more Tamers gathered together....
All of them strange Digimon were armored types, except for the Wormmon and the
Armadimon.
Ryo had lashed out with his D-Ark using the strange whip of light to restrain
his partner Digimon. "Monodramon! Stop it! Now!" The older Tamer was exerting
considerable strength, to judge by the furrows being created by his heels
digging into the ground.
Ruki had a card out, prepared to slash it should Monodramon get out of hand
again. Then there was the boy that Terriermon had described, clutching a bleeding
arm. He was looking both ill and terribly lost.
Jianliang rather dreaded trying to get everything sorted out, although... at
least it looked like it wouldn't degenerate into a Tamers vs. Tamers war. At least... not yet.
This chapter is a bit slow since (I didn't do enough planning and set-up in the previous chapter) so I'm sort of stuck with a few things. Hopefully the next chapter comes out a little better.
