Eternal Friendship

Part 5 - Soul of the Digital World

By Firehedgehog

      "Evil Inferno!" Daemon called and he threw his attack, Davis quickly

pulled Yolei and himself out of the way of the attack. Sweat covered his

forhead knowing that if hit he would probably die, and Yolei would die also.

      'We have to destroy Daemon totally, if we don't everything we love

and fought to protect are doomed' Davis thought his brown eyes narrowed

almost to slits, he had to think quickly at a way to end this.

      Suddenly an explosion caused by Daemons attacks caused them to be

seprated, Davis found himself quickly surrounded by flying dirt and dirty

smoke.

      He coughed deeply and realized that he was beelding from a cut above

his eyebrow, he wipped away the blood with a bit of his shirt and thankfully

it had stopped bleeding.

      "Yolei!" he called fearful of her safety, he sighed in relief when she

called that she was all right.

      'Thank goodness, I don't think I could stand loosing her' Davis thought

witha sigh, his eyes opened when a hurt demiveemon suddenly landed in

front of him unconcious.

      "Demiveemon," he said fearfully, he quickly picked up his partner and

hugged him gently to his chest.

      "Daisuke," Demivemon whispered coming to, slowly slightly glazed

over reddish-brown eyes opened. Davis smiled glad that his partner was

awake, he didn't know what he would do without his friend.

      "Demiveemon, you okay?" Davis asked, he knew it was stupid to just

stand there but he had to make sure his partner was alright first.

      "I'm fine as long as I don't remember my whole body hurts," the small

in-training digimon said with a small grin, at that answer Davis gave a small

laugh.

      He was about to say something in response to that when he felt a chill,

startled he looked up. He gasped seeing a Flame Inferno heading his way and

he didn't have time to dodge it, he quickly looked at Yolei and gave her a sad

smile.

      "Sorry Demiveemon, looks like its time out for us... permently," Davis

whispered to his partner, he wished he had enough power to defeat the

digimon like Saffron but compared to Saffron Daemon was a mega and

Saffron was a champion.

      "At least we go togeather," Demiveemon whispered, both of them

knew they were not alone. The last thing they heard was Yoleis shout of

panic, then there was darkness.

***

      Yolei screamed as she saw the attack hit Davis and his digimon

partner, as the smoke began to clear she ran to where she had last seen

them.

      "Davis!" she screamed heartbroken finding only a scrap of his clothing,

she knew with all her heart that he had not escaped the blast.

      'I lost him once two years ago, and now I've lost him again... yet this

time I know he is truly dead and with him his partner' Yolei thought and she

began to sob, but at least she had been able to be within his arms for a few

minutes.

      'Davis' she thought, with rage in her brown eyes she turned around

and glared at Daemon her fear totally gone.

Chapter Two

      He was dead... the end of his life, he had lived his second chance

happily but he had a feeling he wouldn't have a third chance at life this time.

Slowly he opened his eyes, he found himself floating in a place... well he

truly couldn't decribe it.

      "Is this heaven?" he asked curious, the place warm, and also felt like

he was finally home. He frowned when no answer came, somehow even

though he was floating he managed to sit up right.

      "Okay this isn't heaven, but what could it be?" Davis asked himself

curious, he closed his eyes and bagan to feel with his mind at the energy in

the area.

      Suddenly his eyes opened quickly shock in them, he took deep breaths

and hugged himself in surprise.

      "Kami-sama, but how is this possible," he whispered in awe, it was at

that second he felt another presence and turned around to look.

      "It is possible, but also your destiny,"a familliar voice said, Davis

stared at the person standing there... it was Owikawa looking much healthier

then he had last been.

      "But you've been dead for two years!" he said in surprise, Owikawas

mouth turned into a slight smile amusement shown in it.

      "I became part of the digital world and healed it if you remembered

but i cannot to that if Daemon destroys it, your task is not yet done,"

Owikawa said seriously, Davis gulped feeling slight fear.

      "But how can I stop him if I'm dead, and where's Demiveemon?" Davis

asked, he bit his lip waiting for his answer.

      "Don't worry davis, everything will be answered and revealed in due

time," Owikawa said, then before Davis could say anything he vanished.

      "Okay that was interesting, but what am i suppose to do until then!"

Davis yelled angerly, he gave a small huff in his anger and then glared at the

strange place around him.

      'This is quickly going to get boring' Davis thought, he knew it would.

Chapter Three

      "Davis," a soft voice said, startled Davis opened his eyes and almost

cried as Demiveemon jumped into his arms.

      "I thought i lost you forever," Davis said happily, the in-training

digimon shook his head no and hugged Davis.

      "No I promised to be with you forever Davis and I will, and I've been

told on how we can go back and defeat Daemon and help the others," the

dragon like digimon said, Davis brightened at the prospect of going back.

      "How, how can we go back?" Davis asked, the digimons face became

serious.

      "There is a price," Demiveemon cautioned, Davis sighed knowing that

there was always a price.

      "Tell me, what is the price I must pay?" Davis asked, his partner took

a deep breath.

      "We both know that your very existance became connected to the

digital world when you defeated Saffron but not how much, you in essence

are the digital world... you could say the movable piece of it," Demiveemon

said, Davis gasped as things began to fall into place.

      "What else?" he asked quietly.

      "I am also part of you but giving form because you were needed as a

digidestined, to go back I must once again become part of you... forever," his

partner said in a whisper, Davis gasped when he heard this.

      "But I like you as you are Demeveemon, why do you have to become

part of me," Davis pleaded but didn't ask knowing why, to return to a mortal

form he had to be full... and that meant loosing his partner.

      "Because I always was and we just didn't realize Davis, but even

though we'll become one I will always be with you. You are the soul of the

digital world and always will be, you must become your true self," his

partner said in his adorable voice, Davis felt tears come to his eyes and he

hugged his partner.

      "Will I ever see you again?" he asked hopefully, his partner giggled.

      "Of cousre you will Davis, one day we'll probably seperate when they

need us as a digidestined again," Demiveemon said, he kissed Davis on the

cheek gently.

      "Its time isn't it?" Davis asked, Demiveemon nodded.

      "It is, see you around Davis but Destiny needs us," his partner said,

Davis nodded and cradled his best friend and part of his soul to his chest. A

soft silvery-blue glow surrounded them, the place they were in flashed with

unbelieveable light.

Chapter Four

      The fight was going terrible, the destined young and old were pretty

much biting the dust.

      "We can't hold on much longer, I can't believe this but were loosing,"

Tai said with a wince, Wormmon and Armodillomon were out for the count

in there in-training form.

      "I know.. this whole day is turning out for the worst," Matt said, he

was heartbroken that just after they get Davis back the spiky haired boy

was killed by the monster Daemon.

      'Davis, I have a feeling that everything would be going better if you

were still here' Tai thought tears in his eyes, he shook his head out of his

depressed thoughts and concentrated fully on the battle taking lace between

daemon and the destined digimon.

      "Whoah... whats that," Matt suddenly said startled, Tai spun around

and gasped in surprised.

      Behind them stood a creature that could be only a digimon but one

they had never seen before, it looked like a humanoid version of veemon.

The tail was longer and fell to the ground and long fingered human like

hands with slight claws.

      It had the same sapphier fur as veemon and also his reddish-brown

eyes, the fur on its face was white, the rest of its body was hidden from view

by a long silver robe. Around its neck was a small chain, on it were little

charms with what looked like there crests.

      "Hello chosen children," the digimon said, the voice for some reason

felt familliar but Tai couldn't place. He guessed that the digimon was of

champion level by the matureness of its voice, to tell the truth it sounded his

age.

      "Who are you?" Tai asked curious, the digimon gave him a large smile

its eyes never leaving the battle.

      "I am Veedramon," the digimon said and Matt and Tai looked at each

other, the name of the digimon reminded them of Veemon.

      "Um okay... but what are you doing here, we are kind of in the middle

of a life and death struggle?" Tai asked, the digimon gave a small a laugh

that felt hauntingly familliar but still couldn't place.

      "I am here to judge, to judge if the digital world will survive, be

destroyed, stay connected to other dimensions... or the many ways destiny

will take this battle," teh digimon said calmly, Matt and Tai gasped at the

digimon.

      "What are you, what gives you the right of this choice!" Tai demanded,

the digimon shook his head sadly.

      "I am the soul of the digital world giving material form, it is my

choice... to help you you must convince me of the path you want me to take,"

Veedramon said calmly, Matt and tai looked at each and knew that things

had just gotten alot more complicated. Veedramon smiled slightly, he had

trust in them that they would convince him... he knew them well.

TBC

Well here is the end of part 5, if you haven't figured it out Veedramon is

Davis. Poor Davis, first he was Ranma, then Davis and now he's veedramon...

his life is very complicated.
