Chapter Twenty-four: Love and Love's friends

Mortmon landed next to Kolachamon. "What has occurred here at this place?" he asked. Kolachamon and Serpenmon looked at the digimon standing next to them. "What?" they both asked. "What happened?" Haru asked. "Well, I'm not sure" Serpenmon hissed. "It's so. Kerry and Jenn were talking and then I came up and a girl who looked like Ree but a bit younger and the tips of her hair were red and a big pink dog digimon came up and attacked Semimon. And then Semimon hiccupped and the dog got hiccups and the girl and the digimon ran off. And Semimon and Jenn went unconscious. And then Eddie came and send something about he trusted Kerry and something about Ree. And then he jumped at Kerry" Kolachamon explained. "So, to say it short, they're fighting for a girl" Deo shortened Kolachamon's speech. The wolf nodded slowly. "You'd kick their butt if it was a fight about me" Haru whispered into Deo's ear. He smiled and then nodded.

"Starr? Starr! Where'd she go?" Ree mumbled to Cashmon. "I do not know." Then the bushes shook and a walking ferret carrying a green haired boy stepped up. "Ree" the boy said cheerfully. Ree groaned. "Trip." "What are you doing here? Aand do you know where everyone else is?" he asked. "I'm here to kill you and I lost track of the others." Trip nodded and then stopped. "Cashmon, did she just say she wants to kill us?" Bidionmon asked. Cashmon put Ree down and digivolved. "Cool, you can digivolve too" Bidionmon said, put his partner down too and digivolved. The two four-legged beasts were standing face to face. "Prepare to see you digimon die" Ree said to Trip. "Erm, Ree? What?" Trip said and took a step towards her, staggering. "Sabertooth Clash" Kanemon said and attacked Bidiodramon. The four-legged ferret dodged the huge pair of teeth. "Fight me" Kanemon said. Bidiodramon shook his head. "I am not going to attack my best friend" he looked at Trip. "My second best friend." "But I attack whoever Ree wants me to attack, Wolf Howl" Kanemon said and the attack was once again dodged by Bidiodramon. And so the fight went on, Kanemon attacking and Bidiodramon dodging. "Stop him" Trip said who was now next to Ree. He took another step towards him and nearly fell but was caught by Ree. "Thanks" he said and kissed her on the cheek. She dropped him. "Kanemon" she said and turned away. She walked off not looking back but Kanemon did though, his eyes glinting at Bidiodramon.

Lita sniffed. Everyone had left her. Everyone except Terriermon. "Why aren't you leaving either?" she asked. "Because you're my partner and. and I have to protect you so that nothing ever happens to you. I've told you that before though" Terriermon explained. "Oh" Lita said and looked at the rock under her. She pushed her folded hands in between her legs because she didn't know what else to do with them. "Don't worry Lita, I'm always here for you" Terriermon said and snuggled up next to her. Suddenly a tree in front of the cave fell over and two figures stepped into the cave. "Wow, I get to fight Miss Scardey Cat, Miss Problemless, Miss I- can-trample-over-everyone-I-want-because-I'm-perfect, Miss." "Be quiet" Terriermon said. "Leave Lita alone. She hasn't done anything to you." ". My-family's-perfect, Miss I'm good-so-leave-me-alone, Miss." "Be quiet" Terriermon said louder now. Lita was still staring at the ground though. Tears trickling over her face. She was indeed a 'scardey cat' but she wasn't problemless or perfect. She was worthless, no one liked her. Not her parents who adored her younger sister Minoru nor her friends, the other digidestined, they'd all left her, everyone. Except Terriermon. He had stayed by her side. "Show you who's perfect and ever so brilliant" the human figure said and stepped into the little light provided, being revealed as Starr. "I just taught Starrmon something" she said and her digimon stepped into the light. He looked worn out and tired. "Digivolve" Starr ordered and held her D- Glove out towards the digimon. "I. I can't Starr. I'm tired." "No, you're not" Starr growled and made a fist. Starrmon winced. "All right, all right. Starrmon evolve too Roarmon." Starrmon had now changed his looks from a star to a big black bear with a long tail and two big ears. "Roaaar" the bear roared and fell onto all four paws, slashing it's tail. Lita winced and started swaying. "Now let's do our job" Starr said. "Kill her." Roarmon roared once again and stepped up to Lita. "Oh, no you don't" Terriermon said. "Bunny Blast" and his attack hit the bear who didn't seem to have noticed the attack. "Roaaar" Roarmon roared and slashed his tail to Lita. "Lita. Terriermon evolve too Gargomon" said Terriermon and was now portrayed by an overgrown rabbit with machine guns instead of hands. He had a bullet holster over his chest and was wearing blue jeans with the bottoms rolled up. Lita looked up just to see Roarmon's long tail in front of her face and winced. Gargomon had head butted Roarmon making the distance between Lita and Roarmon's tail shorter. "I will always protect you what ever happens" the rabbit said. "Gargo Laser" and he fired at Roarmon who fell but got up quickly. "Roarmon has been trained on the champion level and you've only just achieved it, so there" Starr said sticking her tongue out towards Lita. "This is gonna be the fight of your life" Lita said got up and whipped her eyes and nose. "Gargomon is as strong as he needs to and we will convince you that being good is better than wanting to destroy stuff. And even though my parents hate me, I'm fighting for them and Minoru, the sister I've hated all her life. And they will give me the power to win" she yelled. "Then let the fight begin" Starr said pointing at Lita.

I know shorter than usually but I didn't know what else to right. But yeah, wai. I'm speeding the story up cause I feel like doing Season Two now and since I said I'll start it when this one is over. I have to finish this one *sniff* Oh, and in this one I want to thank a lot of digimon ff authors cause I just read a few (even though some of them were pretty lame) but I thank you. And I wanna thank Jazzy cause. I forgot. there was sth wanted to thank her for. I forgot, oh well. And Yuka-chan cause the next chapter of her interactive is probably up by now. And MPC, my Love Sensei *g*
