The Digisenshi (Part Two)
The New Team
---------------------------------------------------
Although I know you all wish it was otherwise, I do not own Digimon.
**WARNING** There is slight one-sided Daikari in this chapter… the one side being Kari. Not much, it's actually very little, but I don't want any Takari fans to flame me for this, so here it is!
---------------------------------------------------
---_____P.O.V--- changes to someone's point of view
(Author's Notes)
Previously: Davis is late in meeting the Digidestined. The others (with the exception of Cody) start talking about Dai-kun's less than admirable points. As Kari was about to leave to look for Davis, they find him standing right outside the door with tears in his eyes. Turns out poor Davis heard the entire thing. Davis takes of running, and is followed by Cody. Davis talks about quiting the Digidestined, but Cody reminds him it's an obligation to the Digiworld. Instead, Davis goes solo, and starts a Digiport on his computer. After avoiding the others for the day, he gets into a small tiff with Kari, and leaves school faking an illness. He meets up with Cody, and gives Cody the goggles to choose another leader for the Digidestined. Then Davis goes to the Digiworld, planning on training Veemon as he destroys control spires, hoping to get Veemon to evolve to Ultimate to make up for the lack of other Digimon to help them fight. Whew, there it is. Now, on with the next part!
---Hikari's P.O.V.---
After class I run to the computer lab, hoping to see Davis there. Unfortunatley, when I open the door, all I find is
"Cody!"
"Hello Kari." He looks uncoforatable. I wonder what's wrong? Oh, here comes the others. Davis better be with them. I wanna give him a piece of my mind!
"Hey Hi-chan, Cody." TK says as he steps in the room, followed by a hello from Yolie… but no Davis…
"Where's Davis?" I ask.
"He went home during math, remember?" TK says as he let's Patamon out of his backpack.
"Yeah, but I told him I wanted to talk to him when we went to the Digiworld…"
***Flashback***
I know he's faking it. Why won't he talk to me? As he stands up to go for the hall pass, I grab his arm and turn him around to face me. "I'll talk to you when we get to the Digiworld today" I say as I look him straight in the eyes.
"Like hell you will." He muttered darkly, just loud enough for me to hear, before pulling his hand away from me and walking out of the room. I could only stare at his back, feeling an odd clenching in my stomach…what's wrong with me?
***End Flashback***
But I thought he'd come running if I told him I wanted to talk to him…
"You guys, I have something to say." Cody says, bringing our attention to him. "I met up with Davis today when he was on his way home… He… he gave me these." Cody reaches into his pockets, and pulls out the one thing I leas expected. I even feel myself gasp slightly. It's Davis' goggles. The one's Tai gave him on his first day in the Digiworld, when he made Davis the "leader".
"Why did he give those to you?" TK asked. Baka! Don't you see! How much of an idiot are you? Wait, I don't ever think about TK like that… I must just be shocked… yeah, that's it.
"He said that they belonged to the leader of the Digidestined, and that he wanted me to take them and choose a new leader."
I can see the shocked look on Yolie and TK's faces, and I can't help but wonder if it's on mine too. How could he… just quit like that? And to give up the goggles…
"Frankly, I don't think any of you deserve to be the leader. But since Davis asked me to do this, I'm giving them to you TK." Cody says as he practically flings the goggles at TK, who only barely catches them in time.
"Me? Why me?"
"Because, you always took control of the situation. No matter how many times Davis was right, we always agreed with you. These two evidently consider you to be more of a leader than Davis, so it only makes sense to give you the goggles."
"Well. I'll do my best then." TK says, as he slowly removes his hat and places the goggles on his head. I don't know why, but when he does that I feel like screaming. The goggles don't look half as good on him as they did on Davis… er… they look even better!
"T-they look good on you Takeru." I somehow manage to say.
"Alright then. Since I guess Davis isn't going to be joining us anymore, we can leave on time for once." Yolie says. I really wish I could smack that grin off her face. Who does she think she is?
"Right then. Digiport Open!" TK says as he and Patamon are engulfed in the light. Yolie follows him, and then Cody. Soon it's only me and Gatomon in the room. I can't believe Davis… how could he just abandon me… erm… I mean us like that? I sigh, and open up the Digiport…
---Davis' P.O.V.---
(1 Week Later)
So far, so good. Veemon and I spend most of our time in the Digiworld now. We've completely wiped out the Control Spires in the area where we train. We plan to move on soon, but we like the area, it gives Veemon enough room to train his attacks and such in all forms. I told him I'd look for another area similar to this one. Everyday after school, I run straight home and go to the Digiworld, not coming back until around 8. On weekends we spend the better part of the day there. The others have left me alone… I've notice TK wearing my goggles around school. Figures. The only thing that isn't going well is Kari. While TK and Yolie completely ignore me now, Kari always seems to be popping up, wanting to talk to me about what happened… I thinks she's getting tired of it though, because the last couple of days she's left me alone.
I'm on my way home now, ready for yet another day of training. I've notice a vast improvement in Veemon's fighting ability since we started. We have a big rock, roughly the size of XVmon, that he uses his attacks on, trying to push it back. At first he could only move it a few inches as Flamedramon and XVmon, and barely even budged it as Raidramon. But now, one Fire Rocket sends the thing back at least a foot. I'm confident that we would even be able to take down a weak ultimate right now. Although it would have to be a very weak one, but still, it's something.
"DAVIS!" A cheery voice that I know all to well calls out behind me. Kari is running down the sidewalk towards me, but I just turn back around and keep walking. Unfortunatley, a furry white streak with yellow decides that I should stay where I am, so it pounces on me, forcing me to the ground.
"Gatomon! Get off me!"
"Sorry Davis, but Kari says she needs to talk to you, and she can't do that if you keep running from her." Gatomon says as she uses he paws to keep me pinned. Damn Champion strength…
"I'm sorry Davis, but I really need to talk to you…" Kari says as she stands over me.
"Whether I want to or not huh?" I ask as I try and scowl at her. I can't though… damn! Why do I still feel this way around her?
"Davis… no, you're right. Gatomon, get off him. If you don't want to talk to me, that's fine." Gatomon steps off my chest, and I get up, and dust myself off. I then turn, and continue walking home. As I walk, I could almost swear I hear Kari sobbing, but I doubt it. Just me hearing things.
"Davis!" Uh oh… Gatomon is running towards me, and slows as she gets to my side. "Davis, what's wrong with you? Do you realize what you're doing to Kari?"
"I'm not doing anything Gatomon. You were there when they were talking. I don't belong in the same group with them. Kari has TK, Yolie has Ken, and I screw everything up and make everyone mad. They don't deserve it, and neither do I."
"Davis, Kari is not"
"Listen Gatomon, I've got to get home and go to… go do my homework." Gatomon sighs as she looks up at me.
"Fine Davis. Do whatever you want…" She turns and leaves, and I breathe a sigh of relief. I then quicken my pace and arrive back at my apartment.
"Ready Demiveemon?" I ask as I get into my room.
"Whenever you are Davish!" I nod, and hold my D3 up to my computer.
"Digiport Open!"
---Ken's P.O.V.---
Okay, I'm starting to get slightly miffed at the others. Nobody will tell me why Davis isn't here anymore, and now TK shows up wearing Davis' goggles! Davis would never give those to anyone, especially not TK.
"Alright you guys, I want some answers, and I want them now!" I say when the others meet up with me.
"What do you mean Ken?" TK asks.
"I mean the fact that suddenly you're wearing Davis' goggles, the fact that he's never here anymore, and you all skirt around the issue every time I bring it up." I'm starting to get fairly angry right now. "Someone tell me what the hell is going on!"
"D-D-Davis… He… he…" Why does Kari look like she's been crying.
"It's okay Kari, it's not your fault…" TK says as he draws her into a hug. For a second I could swear Kari was trying to struggle out of it, but then she buries her face in his chest. What in the Digiworld is going on here?
"Davis quit Ken." Yolie says, looking quizzically at Kari. I think she noticed it too… WHAT?!
"What do you mean Davis quit!" I nearly scream.
"Ken… May I talk to you alone for a minute?" Cody asks me, in a tone low enough so that the others can't hear it. I nod my head, and follow him a little off to the side, out of earshot of the others. "Okay. This is what happened. TK, Yolie, and Kari were talking about Davis in the computer room last week, because he was late. They pretty much said he didn't deserve to be a Digidestined. Kari was going to look for Davis, but he was standing right outside the door the entire time." I know my mouth is hanging open, but I just can't believe it. How could the others say stuff like that about Davis? He's done so much for them…
"But, Davis didn't actually quit on the Digiworld." My attention is returned to Cody when he says this. "He had Izzy help him set up a Digiport on his computer, and he's been coming here daily, wiping out control spires and such. Remember a couple of days ago Yolie noticed an area that was suddenly almost totally clear, well, that was thanks to him."
"So… Davis is still in the Digiworld? He's here with only Flamedramon… and he's still getting more done than we are. Well, I'm out of here." I say as I start walking back to where the others came from, to the nearest Digiport.
"Wait, what are you doing Ken?" Cody asks as he runs to my side.
"Davis is the reason I joined this team Cody. Davis is the best out of all of us, and it drove me crazy the way the others always treated him. If Davis is still coming to the Digiworld, but not with them, then I'm going with Davis. He's my best friend." I pick up Wormmon, and walk right past the others.
"Ken, where are you going!" I hear Yolie call out from behind me.
"… If you guys can treat Davis like that, then I really don't want to have anything to do with you. I'm outta here." With that, me and Wormmon are taken through the Digiport, back home. When we arrive, I set my Digiport to track and start looking for Davis…
---TK's P.O.V.---
How the hell did Ken find out?! I told everyone not to tell him, I knew he'd react like this. Wait, Cody was just talking to him…
"CODY! What the hell is your problem, I told everyone not to tell him!"
"And I choose to ignore you. Ken had a right to know, you were lying to him." Where the hell does this brat get off?
"I was not lying to him!"
"You might as well have been. You knew he'd leave if he found out how YOU treated Davis. So instead of being honest, you just decided to ignore the issue." Cody's face is turning red from anger, and I'm pretty sure he's using all his control to keep himself in check.
"Cody, I am the leader. I gave a order not to tell Ken and"
"Oh? When did this become a tyranny? You know what, Ken's got the right idea. You three are on your own!"
Cody ran past us, and runs right up to the Digiport, followed closely by Upamon. He held his D3 to the tv, and in a flash of brilliant light was gone.
I stand, shocked that we just lost two more of our members… we've lost half of the team.
"Come on guys… let's at least try and get some stuff done today." I say as I armor digivolve Patamon to Pegasusmon. Yolie follows after with Halsemon, but I notice Kari hangs back for a few moments, before following after us on Nefertimon.
---Davis' P.O.V.---
"Okay XVmon, that's enough for today. Let's go home!" I call out to my friend. I'm fairly happy today, because XVmon managed to knock the rock back at least 10 feet! We're definatley making progress. Tomorrow, I decided we'd look for another area with control spires and continue our training there.
"Davis… something's coming." XVmon said as he looked up towards the sky. I follow his line of vision, and see a long snake like body flying straight towards us.
"What the? Is that an Areodramon?"
"No, I think it's Megadramon! He's a Ultimate level evil Digimon. His attacks are Darkside Attack and Ultimate Slicer. We need to get out of here Davis!"
I look up at the thing flying towards us. It obviously knows we're here, otherwise it wouldn't be coming this way… "No, we stay and fight!"
XVmon looks at me like I'm crazy. "But he's and Ultimate! Without Stingmon I can't Digivolve to Paildramon!"
"Who said you need to Digivolve? This will be a perfect opportunity to test out your training."
"Davis, you said you wanted me to get strong enough to be able to beat a weak ultimate in my champion form right?"
"Yeah" I say not seeing where he's going with this.
"Well, Megadramon is strong enough to almost be considered a weak mega!" … Shit! It's too late now, the thing is practically on us, and the Digiport is further in the forest.
"Hello… you look like a tasty morsel…" Megadramon says as he lands in front of us.
"What? You want to eat us?" Yeah, duh Davis, of course he wants to eat you.
"X beam!" XVmon shouts as he shot his attack at the Megadramon. The Megadramon turned just in time to be hit with the blast, and go flying back a couple feet.
"Let's Go!" I shout as we take of running into the forest. I can hear Megadramon roaring in fury and coming after us. Damn the thing is fast.
"Darkside Attack!" Megadramon shot a black beam at us, causing a explosion right in front of us. I cover my eyes, and feel my body being lifted from the ground from the force. Rocks are flying around me, some hitting my body. OW! That was a big one. Fuck, right in the head… Where's XVmon? My vision is getting all blurry… crap, I don't want it to end like this!
"V-vee headbutt!" Veemon screams somewhere near me. I see the blue little Digimon fly at Megadramon, and hit him right in the stomach. Megadramon isn't even affected, he only bats Veemon away. He's looking at me now… Veemon, I'm sorry… you don't deserve this… please, get out of here while he's distracted.
"You're a lot of trouble for something so small… I think that will make me enjoy devouring you even more" Megadramon gloats as he towers above me. I really don't want it to end here… I still have so much more I need to do…
"Striking Spike!" What the? I know that voice. Megadramon was caught off guard by the attack, and went flying back and hit the ground. I feel a pair of hands grab me under my arms, and hoist me to my feet.
"You okay Dai-kun?"
"K-Ken?" I say.
"Dear god, You're bleeding. What were you thinking taking on a Ultimate with a Champion? Quick, we need Paildramon." I can barely understand what he's saying, but I nod my head and activate my Digivce.
"Veemon digivolve to…. XVmon!"
"Guys, you know what to do!" Ken shouted next to me.
"XVmon……. Stingmon….. DNA digivolve to….. Paildramon!" Out of the bright flash steps Paildramon, immediately attacking with his Desperado Blasters. The attack seems to have caughten Megadramon off guard, because the beams are tearing through the Digimon and he's not even making and attempt to stop it. Paildramon continues blasting hundreds of shots at the creature, until there is too much dust to see it anymore.
When the dust does clear, we barely see the rest of Megadramon's data floating away and into the sky.
"H-hey, g-g-good job g-guyssssss" My head feels heavy… I think I'll take a nap… standing up.
***
I groan as I slowly sit up in my bed. MY BED! What happened? Why am I not in the Digiworld… or in Megadramon's stomach for that matter.
"Ahh, you're finally up Dai-kun!" I turn my head in the direction of the voice, and immediately wish I hadn't, cause my whole head throbs in pain.
"Careful Davis, you took a real beating."
"Ken, what are you doing here? What happened?"
"You decided to take on an Ultimate level Digimon with XVmon remember? He almost had you guys, but luckily Stingmon and I got there just in time."
"Yeah, I remember now. Tall dark and ugly wanted to make a snack out of me and Veemon… hey, where is Veemon?"
As I say those words, the door flies open and a blue blur streaks through the air, and onto my chest, jumping up and down excitedly.
"YOU'RE OKAY YOU'RE OKAY YOU'RE OKAY YOU'RE OKAY!" Demiveemon says in that too cute voice of his.
"I will be if you quit that!" I say as I feel a pain from my chest. Then I remember something else.
"Ken, what were you doing over there? That's no where near the area where you've been destroy spires!"
Ken looks at me, and sighs. "I would've been there sooner Davis, but no one told me what happened. One day, you just quit showing up, and then TK suddenly showed up with your goggles. Cody finally told me, and when I found out, I left to find you."
"Why?"
"Davis, you're my best friend. You forgave me immediately after what happened with me being the Digimon Emperor. You gave me a second chance, and made me part of the team. The only reason the others got as far as they've gotten is because of you. You're the reason I joined the team Davis, and where you go, I go."
I feel my eyes start to water, but I gulp it all down. Ken's a great guy…
"Hey brat, another one of your friends are here!" I hear Jun yell from the living room. My door opens and in steps…
"Cody!"
"Hey Davis. Man you don't look too good."
"Heh, I've been better. What're you doing here."
Now it's Cody's turn to look at me and sigh. "I got in a fight with TK over telling Ken what happened with you. He said he gave a "direct order" for us not to tell him. I realized that I just couldn't work with people like that anymore, so I left to find you, when I found that you weren't in the Digiworld anymore. I called over here, and found out you came home after a "soccer accident". You look pretty beat up for a game of soccer."
"Yeah, I decided to put the training I had been putting XVmon through to the test. He had gotten a lot stronger, so I figured he might be able to take on a weak ultimate. I didn't know that Megadramon was anything but weak. If it hadn't been for Ken here, I'd probably be sitting inside a digistomach." I manage a weak laugh, and scratch Demiveemon's head.
"Listen Davis, I agree with Ken. I quit the Digidestined. But, I'd like to still protect the Digiworld with you if I could."
"Same here Davis. Actually, I'm not giving you much of a choice. I'll be there whether you want me or not."
I feel the tears welling up in my eyes again. It's great to have friends like this. "Thanks guys."
"If it's alright with you, I'd like to use your Digiport. From now on after school I'll meet you at your school, and walk home with you. I don't have a computer I can access very often, otherwise I'd set up one at my home too."
"That's fine Cody, you're more than welcome. Ken, we'll meet you at the same place you found me today. That's where I've been training Veemon, and it's a fairly nice area."
"Alright then. I better be heading home, I'll see you tomorrow Davis." Ken waves as he picks up his book bag, no doubt with Wormmon inside, and heads out the door.
"I better be going to Davis. Get better soon." Cody bows, and heads out the door. That kid's a little too serious sometimes. But it's great to have him and Ken with me. I slowly go to sleep, completely unaware of the pain in my body. For once, since the incident in the computer lab, I feel happy…
---Hikari's P.O.V.---
We barely even destroyed two spires today. Our hearts just aren't in it. I didn't even pay attention to what I was doing, my thoughts were on one thing… well, one person.
Davis.
I've never thought about him so much before. He hasn't said a word to me, unless it was absolutely nessacary.
I need to tell one of the other Digidestined, the older ones. TK said we shouldn't worry them with something as petty as Davis quiting… how can TK think that's petty? I think he's starting to buckle under the pressure of being a leader, even though he hasn't had to make any really hard decision's yet. I need to talk to someone who'll listen, to both of my problems, and be able to help me. Tai would be a good choice, but I don't think he'd have the right answers. The only other person I can think of is my "older sister". Sora.
Also known as the Digidestined of Love…
tbc…
Next Time: Ken, Cody, and Davis continue their massive sweep of control spires throughout the Digiworld. They meet with Gennai, who reveals some slightly troubling news. Meanwhile, Kari talks with Sora about what's happening to the groups, and her. And tensions rise when the two groups meet in the Digiworld for the first time. It's the Digidestined Vs. The new… Digisenshi!
Author's Notes: Okay, there was a little more Daikari in that one than I planned, but I'm trying to keep it to a minimum for now. Right now, Kari's realizing just how deeply she cares for Davis. Just so you know, TK will not continue to act like an ass throughout the entire story. I like TK as a character. Right now he's just being thrust into a situation he'd never expected. Next chapter should be done by the end of the week (I get to take creative writing as an elective, and they let me write whatever I want! I'm getting a grade to write fanfiction! If only I could be paid, life would be perfect.)
