/// CHAPTER TWO --- The Digital World \\\
Daniel looked around. They were all right. This was definitely not Japan... at least, Japan wasn't this spectacular... He got up and turned to everyone with him.
"Ok... anybody got a compass?" he said, hoping that absurd question would actually be answered.
*****
Kitsui was inside his room, sitting in front of his laptop. He was surfing the net then he sighed. He then decided to check his e-mail... since he didn't have anything better to do. While he was browsing through his e-mails, one e-mail caught his eyes.
"Nande?" He asked himself then he started to read the message itself...
Kitsui, you are being offered the chance to prove to yourself and to the rest of this world that you are more powerful and more skilled...
Just call me the Gatekeeper... I will tell you everything you need to know, and what you must do to prove yourself to everyone... Just press the button below... That's all you need to do to show them what power truly means...
-oOo-
"Eh? Doesn't really explain much but what the heck..." He shrugged then he clicked on the button. He suddenly found himself somewhere away from his room. He was inside some kind of tower, and he was with someone else too...
*****
Ishtar was sittin' at home in her room. "I wonder if I got any e-
mail." she said as she walked to her computer. She went online and
saw a strange message. "What the heck is this?" Her eyes narrow.
The message said: Ishtar, we are in dire need of your services, as the Digital World is in danger. You are our only hope in saving our world and yours. This
is not a hoax. You must press the button below this message.
Everything you need to know will be answered after you do so...
.::***::.
"Wha?" Ishtar was confused. Suddenly she fell into a portal and
landed at some strange place. "Where am I?"
*****
Rikai glanced down at her wrist, looking at what should have been her watch. "No, sorry... um, I don't know your name. I USED to have a watch that said what the temperature was, but... I don't know. The e-mail I opened said that all of my questions would be answered.
Funny, none of you seem the... How do ya say it?" She paused,
thinking to herself. "Oh, I know. None of you seem the Guru type. Is this some kind of strange Japanese Virtual Reality thing that foreigners wouldn't know about? Because I need to get home, and as interesting as this is, my mother is making beef stew for dinner."
Rikai said, thinking for the first time of her home. "I do need to
get home, and soon."
*****
"No...I'm sorry, I have no compass...I never thought I would need it!" Nikko said rather coldly. Whenever she was around too many
people her personality changed. "What the hell is going on here?"
*****
Arthur opened his eyes, finding himself lying down a cold, black
marble ground. He looked around and finds himself in some sort of
chamber. He stood up as he noticed he wasn't alone, then instinctively
positioned himself in his defensive stance.
"Someone better explain why I'm here or someone will get hurt!"
-----
Another strong gust of wind blew Collin's blonde hair as he
approached a group of other kids.
"Hey... I don't know how I got here, but do you know where we are?" He got the impression that everyone didn't have the answer, and was just as confused.
"Great... what should we do now?"
*****
"Someone better explain why I'm here or someone will get hurt!"
As soon as Kitsui heard that statement, he turned around to face the
boy, then he crossed his arms. "Yeah? And you actually think that we -know-...?" Kitsui asked. His voice is everything at once: friendly, swindling. Sweet, deadly.
Level, dangerous. Calm, angry. You could never tell his mood.
*****
Nikko didn't speak. She just crossed her arms sitting on the floor. Her eyes were stone cold and icy.
-----
Yukio smiled slightly. "Hey," he said. "No need to worry about it.
You, and I, will find out pretty soon... I hope."
*****
Arthur rested his arms, and became more calm, though he was more confused than ever.
"You mean to say that no one here knows where we are?" he
asked, "How did we get here, anyways? why are we in such a creepy
place?" He then realized he was wearing another black and red
outfit.
"And WHY am I wearing another set of clothes? ... This is
creeping me out. SOMEONE had better not have changed MY clothes while I was out cold!"
-----
Collin sat by the river and threw rocks at it. As the rock
skipped, he caught a glimpse of a very unusual fish.
//the fish... it seems... smart... civilized...//
He stood up, and walked back to the group.
"You guys, it's obvious that we are all lost here. I don't know how we got here, but I think we should at least learn each other's names, since we're going to be together for a long time...". He looked around, "My name is Collin."
*****
"You don't think..."Rikai said, looking at Collin, looking very
depressed. "You-You really think we won't get home soon? I have
to get home. My mother will be really worried, and my sister... I promised her I'd help her with her lines for the school play... and..." Rikai stammered, sitting down and looking at the sky. "I need to get back home." She said, blinking back tears. But this was no time to cry. First impressions and all. She sighed, and stood back up, wiping her eyes. "Sorry. I just, I miss my family already. I'm fine." She said to everyone. "Anyways, I'm Rikai. Born July 5th...and I really like brownies. That's all I can think of that's important."
*****
"It's alright, Rikai..." Collin said, thinking about his parents, "I know EXACTLY how you feel..."
*****
Daniel looked around. He noticed a small platform a few feet away. He walked up to it, sensing that this might be what they were looking for.
Just inches away, the platform suddenly hissed, and began
transmitting a message.
"Hey... guys... you all need to see this..." he told the others.
*****
Rikai walked over and inspected the strange contraption, confused. "What the...?" She mumbled to herself as she looked at
it, from behind Daniel. "Maybe we should... poke it."
*****
Collin followed Rikai, then looked at what she looked at. "What is it?"
*****
Rikai looked blankly at the mysterious object. "I haven't any
Idea..."
*****
"Should we poke it with a stick or something?" Collin suggested.
*****
"That makes perfect sense to me... but..." She said, a bit
scared of the strange device, "What if it explodes? Or emits poison
gas or something?"
*****
Daniel noticed a red button at the side. He decided to press it.
Instantly, a video of Gennai appeared.
"Greetings, Digidestined... Sorry if I can't be here in person... I'll start at the beginning... Let me introduce myself. I am Gennai, and you are in the Digital World. This is where Digital monsters or Digimon live. Right now, it is on the brink of destruction as one certain Digimon has planned to destroy it.
"All of you can stop it... all of you possess the power to stop this
event from happening. I know this seems like a great responsibility for anyone... but don't complain because my job's a lot harder...
"In order to stop the Digimon from taking over, you will be handed Digimon partners to protect and fight the evil. They are coming as we speak. But they cannot fight in their basic forms, and you must guide them to their most powerful forms... this will help you..." Bright orbs came out of the platform, holding the digivices. Daniel took his. He separated the digivice from the orb.
Gennai continued. "Those are digivices. They will help you through this world. I don't need to explain more. Those orbs will help you give more power to the Digimon...
"This Digimon... Daemon... he wants to take over... and he has taken the aid of other children like you, except they are in his command. They will try anything to stop you from destroying Daemon's plan."
More hissing from the platform...
"I do not have much time... Find the next messenger to find my next message. It is found in the map on your digivices... Good luck..." The transmission ended.
"Well, that was long..." Daniel said. He wasn't sure what to make up of it.
*****
As the D-orb, hovered, Collin took it. the device called the d-com appeared from the mysterious sphere and floated its way into collin's hands.
*****
Taira averted her eyes and saw the other children that had arrived. "We should go welcome them and get on with our preparations..." She said, her tone slightly shaking from shock still. Bowing, Taira said "Excuse me," As she entered back into the tower and saw the others. "Welcome to the digital world. All will be
explained in a moment." She awaited Kai.
*****
Arthur turned around and crossed his arms by his chest. "hmp! That was what I was asking you guys, but you never answered..." Arthur said, "If you guys think I'm scared, I'm not!"
*****
Taira couldn't help but sweatdrop at them. "No one is scared just
confused. And from what I said before. We are in the digital world on
a very important mission. It's our jobs to stop some brats from trying to stop us from dominating this world and earth..." She quirked a brow and put her hands on her hips. "Now if you would all just calm down... I'm Taira. And you all are?"
*****
Piper took her D-orb and Digivice. *This is so cool* She thought
as she looked at the Digivice. "This is going to be fun. Just think
no more school for a while."
*****
Nikko took her digivice and D-Orb as well, amazed at it. How could this be happening? "I am Nikko," she told the others, although she knew it was a bit late. Her voice was still cold and cruel.
---
"Look," Yukio said to them all. "I don't have time to wait for this
guys. Either he comes right now, or I'm joining the other side..."
*****
"Wow..." Arthur groaned, amazed, "We... we have this big
responsibility in our hands... and fighting is involved..." He turned around to the others.
-----
"Anyways, what do we have to do? what was that orb? who was that guy, Gennai? where do we go now? and I think we should have a leader of the group... I want myself to be the leader personally, but I
don't think I can hold the responsibility... so I guess I'll pass..."
*****
Ishtar looked at Arthur. "yeah, right, sure. You can beat people up with your fist." Ishtar started laughing. She then turned to Taira. "By the way, my name is Ishtar Zetsubo."
*****
Daniel turned to everyone... "Ok... first off, like Collin said, we
should introduce ourselves... I'm Daniel." he said, lightly turning to the hill on the horizon. There seemed to be movement there...
"Uh... anyone notice those things coming at us?" he said, pointing at the hill.
-----
Corsairmon turned to the tower and let out a small flame from his hand, lighting up a torch at the middle of the cylindrical room.
"Welcome... I am Corsairmon... as Taira has announced... you are all here to help me and have your greatest desires fulfilled... You are all Dark Digidestined. You are here to fight other children called
Digidestined. Why were you chosen? Because you hold something that
will bring my master to the ultimate power... from then, he will you
grant you your wishes. I will not tell you everything. You will learn everything one by one." Corsairmon continued as Kaijin walked to the room. He saw the other children with him.
All in all there were six people. They all seemed confused. He was still confused, but if all this was going to bring him power, then he
wasn't going to complain...
----
A bouncing furball with miniature horns bounced over to Daniel's arm and gave a big smile.
"HI!!!" He seemed excited to meet him.
"Uh..." Daniel was a little startled, and wasn't sure what to say.
"I said HI! You're supposed to say hi too! Or is 'uh...' hi in your
world?" he gave another smile. Daniel smiled back.
"I'm Cerimon, I'm your Digimon partner. What's your name?"
"Daniel... so... you're supposed to help us fight Daemon?"
"Hey, I'm just a little one now, but wait until I digivolve!" Cerimon's voice was encouraging.
"Er... digivolve?" Daniel was dumbfounded.
"Agh... do I have to explain everything?" Both sweatdropped.
*****
Taira smiled at they entered back into the tower. She was upset
about being dragged here, but at least she had a purpose now. Looking
back at Ishtar she smiled. "Nice hair" She giggled. She turned back to the guy in command.
"What qualities would that... be... do we find out." She just wanted to know that... then get into training. The faster she got into it the less she would worry. Not to mention her friend Kaijin was there with her, so the fear didn't seem to surface.
*****
Corsairmon turned to Taira. "Your qualities..." He turned to a wall, and put his hand in front of it. Several glowing lights appeared,
each going to a Dark Digidestined.
"You qualities are the traits that each of you possess that grant you ultimate power... Defiance, Darkness, Solitude, Destruction, Instinct, Despair..." Kai took the glowing light, instantly changing into a crest.
"What is this?" he asked.
"A physical form of your power. Use it to bring your Digimon to the greatest power..."
*****
Yukio was tripping out. "Whoa? How'd you do that?" he asked the Digimon.
-----
A black Demiveemon-looking Digimon bounced up to Nikko. "Hiyee!!! I'm Buboimon!! I'm your Digimon partner, Nikko!" Nikko smiled at the Digimon and picked it up. "Don't judge me by my size...I pack a mean punch!"
'He's just like me...' Nikko thought. 'Small, but feisty, and size
doesn't matter...'
*****
Corsairmon gave out a small laugh. "How? I wished for power... my master has granted me that wish... now I control the element of fire, and this entire fortress..."
"Now... since all of you are here. I will begin. You must choose your Digimon. Do not worry... your Digimon can be replaced. Digimon, or Digital monsters, will be your partners and will assist you in the
fight against the Digidestined. They are right here..."
Corsairmon again put his hand in front of the wall, and they were all brought to a courtyard next to the tower.
There were 2 dozen Digimon there...
"You must choose one Digimon here which you think will serve your purpose righteously..."
*****
Ishtar looked interested. "A Digimon of our own!" She looks at the dozen of Digimon. "That one looks pretty cool." Ish points her finger to Taka-impmon. "Can I have him?"
*****
Yukio stared at the group of Digimon. "Hey! I want this kewl purple one!!" Yukio said, picking up Impmon. "Hi! I'm Impmon!" said the Digimon.
*****
A ball was enclosing in to Collin really fast. A first, Collin closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes to check where it went, he realized it was right beside his foot. He looked closely, and there were eyes and a mouth on it. Then he realized it was rubbing its face on his pants. "Ah! what are you?" Collin shouted. He was about to kick it, but
he didn't want to be mean.
"I'm Wolftsunomon!" It said, "you're partner!"
"?..." Collin looked around and realized Daniel had another
creature with him. //where are we?... why are there other unknown
creatures here?// he looked back down to wolftsunomon, "Hey, wolf..."
"The name's Wolftsunomon!"
"Oh! Well, do you know where we are exactly?"
"you are in the digital world!"
*****
Arthur, who was behind the group, almost hidden in darkness, made his entrance.
"hmmm... I'll pick that dude that looks kind of like a brawler... he'll probably do some damage..."
The creature walked closer to him.
"I'm probably stronger than you!" He said, "by the way, my name is Dabuomon."
"Hmmm... some intelligence... good strength... I'm Arthur. Nice
to meet you."
*****
Kitsui looked around the courtyard then he glanced at each Digimon. His gaze fell upon a panther-type Digimon, who was currently staring right back at him.
"Greetings...they call me Katzurimon." The Digimon stated as her tail twitched ever so slightly. Her ebony eyes were narrowed in suspicion and a soft snarl escaped her maw. "Pick me...and you'll have a loyal and rebellious Digimon in one..."
Kitsui grinned, "So? I could care less."
*****
"So, Fujitsumon, Give me one good reason why i should pick you
instead of these other digimon." Arthur demanded an answer.
"Do you like to fight? Are you a brawler? Is strength and pride what you care?" Fujitsumon asked, "if that is your description, then you are the perfect partner for me."
"Good point..."
*****
Rikai looked around for her partner...she was excited to meet her new friend. When she laid eyes on the little pink blob, she knew that they were tied by fate. "Hi!!" The fuzzy pink creature chirped "I'm Saiseimon! I've been WAITING and WAITING for you...I'm so glad you're finally here!" Rikai looked in amazement at the little
guy staring in disbelief.
"You...Speak English?" Saiseimon looked back, smiling. "Well, Language isn't a problem when you want to understand. I just talk." Rikai Looked to the other Digidestined, mouth slightly gaping. "This is unreal."
*****
Arthur didn't know nor notice the light that hovered beside him. It was concentrated light, almost blinding to the eyes.
"Hey! what is this?" He asked, but everyone were too excited to
meet their partners. He dared himself to grab it. As it touched his skin, it clamped his hand into a fist and closed his eyes tightly. He opened his eyes again, but the light was gone. He looked at his fist, where a chip-like figure hid. On it was a crest, Arthur thought of it as the crest of destruction. Then he placed it inside his pocket.
"Excuse me, um... Corsairmon, is that your name? by the way, what do we do with the crest we received? don't we get some kind of cases for those things? they look delicate, but important."
*****
Ishtar looked at Arthur. "Yeah what are these for?" She looked at her Crest of Solitude. Taka-impmon lay in Ishtar's arm looking into blank space with his dim yellow eyes.
*****
Daniel turned to the other Digidestined and smiled. He wasn't sure what to do with all this information...
"Everyone, maybe we should start finding shelter before nightfall... and some food..." his stomach grumbled at the word...
"Does anybody have any now?"
---
Corsairmon turned to Arthur. He smirked. "You're a smart one..." he muttered. "I'm still not sure you're all worthy of this quest... which is why training is in progress... finish this and more questions will be answered..." he said, only to Arthur...
He then turned to everyone...
"Now that you all have a Digimon, the next phase is some training..." They were instantly transported to a room with several videos. The Digidestined.
"These are your enemies... as you can see, they have their Digimon also... those are weak little things, drones you can smash with you tiny fingers... I suggest a quick ambush is in progress..."
Kai understood what he meant. So did Tsumemon. He then leaped off to a teleporter, leading him to the woods near the Digidestined. He then waited for the other Digimon to follow.
*****
Jim turned around, hearing voices coming from behind him. He looked down the hill and saw people. "people, PEOPLE!!!!! Finally, I won't be so lonely." "Hey what about me?" SnowAgumon asked. "you know what I mean." Jim started running down the hill. "HEY! HEY, YOU PEOPLE DOWN THERE!!!" As Jim reached the bottom, he ran up to them, and, after realizing they weren't just a mirage, promptly passed out.
A few minutes later he woke up. After standing up. He looked at the people. "Hi, let me introduce myself. My name is Jim, and this is my partner and friend, SnowAgumon." "Hi!" said SnowAgumon.
*****
"C'mon, Arthur! we must follow them to the teleporter!"
Fujitsumon reminded him.
"No, duh..." He leaped into the teleporter and landed into soft
grass, right beside Kaijin. Fujitsumon followed and teleported right
in front of him.
"That's them..." Arthur said pointing at the Digidestined, "those
are our enemies..."
*****
"A quick ambush? They have to learn patience..." Katzurimon murmured to herself as she jumped into the teleporter.
Kitsui shrugged then he soon followed Katzurimon, leading him to where the others were. He landed in a semi-kneeling position
then he stood up, dusting himself off.
*****
"HEY! HEY ALL YOU PEOPLE DOWN THERE!" A strange voice cried. Rikai turned in surprise to see a strange boy running randomly down towards the Digidestined. The tall boy stopped, inspected the group of children, and promptly passed out. "Oh...My..." Rikai said,
getting on her knees. "Does anyone know this boy?" Rikai said,
looking very worried. The stranger's eye's snapped open, and he
smiled.
"Hi, let me introduce myself. My name is Jim, and this is
my partner and friend, SnowAgumon." Rikai looked in surprise at the
Digimon as she stood up. She hadn't even noticed the creature
before. "Hi!" The creature squeaked. Rikai looked at the other
Digidestined and shrugged, nervously glancing at the stranger.
"Well... Jim... Nice to meet you. I'm Rikai."
*****
Piper watched as the others Digimon partners came. She looked at a small orange Digimon with a horn on its head, hopping towards
her. "Hello, your finally here. I'm Tsunomon." He said stopping right
in front of Piper. "I'm Piper, pleased to meet you." Piper looks over
at Jim and his Digimon partner.
*I wonder who they are* She says to herself as she walks over to where Rikai and Jim were, with Tsunomon at her heels. "Are you
ok?" Piper asks Jim.
*****
Ishtar and Taka-impmon saw the Digidestined talking. "Taka-impmon, take a close look, those kids are our enemies."
"Really..." taka-impmon stood and looked at them.
"So..." Ishtar turned to Kaijin and Arthur. "This looks very
interesting, don't you think guys?" Ishtar smiled and fixed her
gloves.
*****
Daniel turned to the others and saw another person with them. The other kids were worried about the unconscious boy. He then woke up and introduced himself.
"Hey..." Tapirmon said to SnowAgumon. "So what happened to your buddy there?"
----
Kaijin turned to Arthur and Ishtar... "We wait for awhile... they're not suspecting an attack yet... but I think we should see what
they're going to do first."
Tsumemon was next to him. He then turned to the Tower behind them. He knew Corsairmon's plan...
*****
Collin walked towards the crowd and spotted an unusual person. He seemed very tough.
"Hey... where were you from? It seems like you've been here for a long time. My name is Collin."
"And I'm Wolftsunomon!" Collin's partner added, "What's your
name?"
------------------------------
Arthur examined the Digidestined. His eyes were mainly fixed on
the boy who just came from the mountains.
"He looks like a challenge to me..." He murmured to himself, then turned to Kaijin "Once we attack, I'll get that guy... he looks like
he's been fighting... I'll be fun..."
*****
Ishtar looked at Arthur. "It doesn't matter who gets who anyways,
they'll all be gone once we get down there." she smirked. "I'll just
get I don't know, I'll go after the girls first."
"whatever." Taka-impmon stood there as he messed with his bandanna.
*****
Rikai sighed, and gave Jim a nervous smile. "Heh...You know,
Running out of no where and screaming isn't exactly how we welcome
people where I come from." She looked Jim over carefully, and
turned to Daniel. "Hey, this child seems a bit..." She paused, hoping not to offend Jim. It was obvious this kid had been in the
digital world for a while. "...Rustic. Maybe he knows how to get
food."
*****
Daniel looked at Jim, then at Rikai. "I think you're right... looks a
little bruised. Maybe we should let him rest a bit. Then we can ask him where to find shelter and food."
-----
Kaijin turned to Arthur. "I don't care who you're going to fight...
Corsairmon wants us to give them a bit of a scare... we're not going
to kill them just yet... Just for excitement."
*****
"A scare? that's it? hmmm..." Arthur thought for a while. "Maybe
we should hide our identity for now. let's just sent our Digimon to
finish them - I mean - scare them... how about it?"
"Sounds like an okay plan..." Fujitsumon said as he tightened his
bandaged strapped around his knuckles.
--- --- --- --- --- ---
"Hey, Daniel, I think we should find shelter now..." Collin
suggested, "We really don't know this place... what if we get attacked by evil creatures? What do you think, Wolftsunomon?" Wolftsunomon's eyes and concentration were fixed on the surroundings. he was silently gnarling.
"What's wrong?" Collin said.
"I have a feeling that we're being watched."
*****
Rikai nodded to Daniel sighing. "I see what you mean." She
said, looking back at Jim. "You feeling any better, stranger?" Rikai said, double checking to make sure he wasn't to terribly hurt.
"Uh...Yeah...Sorry about that. I usually don't go passing out all
the time." Jim said, standing to his feet. "I'm pretty sure I know where there's some shelter...but...I don't really remember." He
said, blushing slightly.
"Jim, I remember!!" Snow Agumon squeaked.
"There's a nice cave over there. I remember because we fished for
food in the river and I helped." Jim's Digimon said, smiling.
*****
"I suggest we wait...we still don't know what they're made of.
Perhaps we could observe them for a little while...then spring upon
them in their weakest moment..." Kitsui stated then he shrugged. "...I have no clue if it will work..."
A soft snarl escaped Katzurimon's maw, her eyes narrowed in suspicion as she continued to watch the Digidestined in silence. "That kid's Digimon..." She murmured, referring to Collin. "...I think he can
sense us..."
*****
"Wolftsunomon, I don't think there is anyone over there..."
Collin said, "c'mon, there's a guy that knows where a shelter is. we
should follow them. go onto my shoulder!"
"Alright..." wolftsunomon said as he hopped onto collin's
shoulder, still staring at the bushes behind "I'll keep an eye just in case..."
--- --- ---
"Now's our chance..." Arthur said quietly, "they're walking away
from us. their backs our facing us!"
"But that Digimon's eyes are fixed in this direction. Katzurimon's right, and so is Kitsui, we should wait."
*****
Ishtar looked angry. "I'm not a very patient person."
"just stick to Kitsui and Arthur's plan, you only have to wait a
little while" Taka-impmon said sweatdropping.
"okay, okay" Ishtar looked at Taka-impmon and listened.
*****
Daniel turned to Rikai and Collin. "Collin, I think Wolftsunomon's
right... I think someone's watching us... We really need to find shelter as soon as possible... Jim... can you take us to the cave? Or at least, where it was close to?"
---
Kaijin turned to Arthur and Ishtar. "They're more determined on
finding shelter. Now's the perfect time..." Tsumemon then closed his
eyes, and put his claws on the ground.
"Ready..." Tsumemon muttered.
*****
"Finally." Ishtar said grinning.
"I'm ready" Taka-impmon said as he put the same expression on his face as Ishtar had.
*****
"Haha... now's the time..." Arthur said as fujitsumon tightened
his belt, ready for a fight.
"anytime you're ready..."
--- --- ---
"grr..." wolftsunomon growled quietly to himself as he sensed a
movement, "grrr..."
"You're right, Daniel, we should go."
*****
Jim Slowly got to his feet, wobbling slightly. "Sure...I don't really remember...I guess SnowAgumon will have to lead the way." He said, gaining his balance. "HooKay. Fine now. Sorry about that. I'm just... It's been a long time since I've seen other...PEOPLE."
Rikai looked at him, seriously. "Well, we're here now. No need to
worry about anything."
*****
"you haven't seen any people for a while?" Collin said, talking to
Jim, "how long have you been stranded here with your Digi-pal? and
how did you survive?"
*****
Katzurimon emitted a deep growl, her tail flicking back and forth.
Her gaze was fixed on Wolftsunomon, knowing that he can sense them. /...I strongly suggest that we wait...but I guess they wouldn't listen.../ She thought to herself then she shook her head.
"Katzurimon...?" Kitsui asked, turning to look at his partner. The
panther-type Digimon nodded, her eyes never leaving the Digidestined.
"Ready...just say the word..."
*****
Nikko just looked at the group as they decided where to get shelter at. Her face was expressionless, not making a sound.
---
Yukio and his partner got ready. "Let's do this!" He then whispered to his Digimon. "Let's get Nikko...turning me down all the
time...she'll see how much she would like to be with me.."
*****
Daniel turned to Cerimon, who had been silent for quite a while. "Daniel, let's go! They're leaving us." He pointed to the rest of the group, already way in front of him.
-----
"He's alone... Perfect timing... Attack... now!" Kai made sure
Tsumemon heard the last word, and his Digimon raced towards Cerimon and Daniel...
*****
Rikai plucked her Digimon off her shoulder, and looked at her
seriously. "Saiseimon-you can fly, right?" Saiseimon flapped her wings, and lifted off her partner's arms. "Yeah...I get what you're getting at..." Rikai smiled. "All right. You go and help, I'll catch up." Saiseimon flew over to Daniel and Tapirmon, blocking them from the incoming Digimon. "CRIMSON PRISM!" She cried, aiming at the attackers.
*****
Jim and SnowAgumon gave each other a knowing grin. "All right boys and girls...it's time to see how it's done in the digital world.
Go!! SnowAgumon, White Flame!!" Jim's Digimon ran over to the
battle scene, tripping on the way. "That's how it's done in the digital world, eh?" Rikai asked Jim, who was experiencing a sweatdrop moment. "I'm going. Collin, Nikko, Jim...I'll meet you there!" She said, hurrying to join her Digimon partner.
*****
"Fujitsumon looked into Arthur's eyes and knew that it was time
to attack. quickly, it leaped out of the bushes, its sight locked into
wolftsunomon.
Arthur only smiled, knowing that fujitsumon and himself had the
same fighting style: eyes on target, attack on full force.
Wolftsunomon jumped unexpectedly. Collin startled as he saw
wolftsunomon up in the air, glowing.
"Wolftsunomon! what's happening to you?" Collin yelled.
"Wolftsunomon, digivolve to..." it shouted, "Wolfmon!"
*****
"Oh, boy. Agumon, get up, we he's coming and your lying there.
Get up!" Jim reached into his pocket and pulled out his digivice and
pointed it towards Tsumemon. "What are your stats..." Jim mumbled, "..here we go. Tsumemon.. Champion... Virus Type... Attack: Rising Spike... We'll here we go. SnowAgumon! His attack is a ground attack. Try hitting him when he's already attacked, that's when he's weak!" Jim looked at Rikai, "This is what the battles are really about, strategy."
*****
"Wolfmon...?" Collin thought. Wolfmon jumped back down, as he slashed fujitsumon, but he only dodged it.
"Where's wolftsunomon?" Collin asked.
"But I am wolftsunomon... in a rookie level." he answered, "I'm
still your partner, in a stronger level! now that I have changed, my
new name is Wolfmon!"
"wow... you can become stronger by changing yourself?" Collin
asked.
"the word you are looking for is evolving."
*****
Taka-impmon looked at Rikai's Pekakumon and jumped towards it to attack. "Icy Ball!!!" he shouted and there was a ball of ice heading
towards Pekakumon.
"That's the way to do it!!" Ishtar thought.
*****
Piper watched as this went on. She looked down at Tsunomon, then over at Rikai and her Digimon. "Rikai, Pekakumon, In front of you"
Piper says running over to Rikai, Tsunomon close behind.
*****
Pekakumon was hit by the Ice Ball Attack, and flew backwards,
hitting the ground. "I...have to..." the small Digimon mumbled as it
started to emit a strange light. Suddenly, with a bright flash, there was a new Digimon in the place of Pekakumon. "Who...are you
supposed to be?"
Rikai asked, feeling the same warmth from this Digimon that she had from pekakumon. "I'm Saiseimon...I've become stronger now, and I'll be able to fight!" She said, flying into the air, and heading towards Taka-Impmon. "Rainbow Sunlight!"
*****
Taka-impmon looked at the attack heading towards him. "What the heck is that!?" He quickly moved out of the way. "that was close."
"Good, you dodged Taka!" Ishtar yelled.
*****
Rikai's head snapped up, looking for the source of the yelling. "Hey..." She mumbled, "Hey, I think I heard another kid around here!!" Rikai said, trotting up beside Daniel, panting hard. "Maybe It was another Digimon."
*****
Saiseimon again attacked Taka-Impmon, firing two shots. "Rainbow Sunlight!"
*****
""Come on, SnowAgumon!" Jim cried to his Digimon, digivice in hand. SnowAgumon fired a blast of freezing breath at Tsumemon,
attempting to freeze it in place.
*****
Tsumemon was distracted by Tapirmon. He didn't notice the shard of ice that was about to strike his back. Not yet...
"Magick Strike!" Both attacks seemed to hit him, but Tsumemon was already miles away from the explosion.
"Rising Spike!" He dug his claw on the ground, and a large rock spike hit Tapirmon, throwing him off.
Daniel was wide-eyed by the battle. Tapirmon... He ran to him, but spikes blocked him from Tapirmon. He hadn't noticed Rikai behind him.
"Damn!"
-----
Kaijin smiled. This "scare" was going out well, considering the basic strategies they were using.
-----
"Impmon Inferno!" Impmon blasted SnowAgumon from behind.
"Good shot!" Yukio said.
*****
Saiseimon let out a cry of victory at the fallen Taka-Impmon, and landed on the ground. "Don't kill it, Saiseimon! Let it be...just
don't let it get away." Rikai said to her partner. "Grr...who are you? Why do you attack us?" Saiseimon growled, keeping a close eye on Taka- Impmon.
*****
Jim Picked up his partner, and pulled him away from the battle. "Are you alright, pal?" He said, trying to smile. "Of course..."
SnowAgumon murmured, glancing back at the battle. "I have to go and fight!" He said, hoping to his feet. "That's my partner!" Jim
said, grinning. They ran back to the site of the battle, and SnowAgumon took aim at Tsumemon. "Ice Breath!"
*****
Katzurimon's ears perked up then she looked at her fallen comrade, Taka-Impmon. She emitted a low deep growl then she dashed towards the battlefield. She jumped over Taka-Impmon, so she's in front of him, standing in a defensive position.
"You won't know anything...because it's none of your business!" She boomed then she leaped into the air. "Freezing Arrows!" Almost
immediately, arrows of ice appeared all around her. With a flick of her paw, she sent all of the arrows flying towards Saiseimon.
*****
Tapirmon managed to get up, but not without an attack to scare off Tsumemon. Not suspecting it, he was Tsumemon was thrown off. His claws returned to their regular size, and Daniel ran to Tapirmon.
"Hey, you ok?" he asked.
"I kicked that mon's butt! What makes you think I'm not?" Tapirmon said, a hint of anger in his voice. Daniel spotted Tsumemon already up, and attacked again.
"Rising Spike!"
Daniel grabbed Tapirmon and jumped off, barely escaping a sharp claw.
-----
Kaijin suddenly changed his expression to disappointment. The balance easily changed in the battle. He growled and turned to the others.
"This is pathetic..."
-----
Corsairmon turned to the other Dark Digidestined who had not joined in the fight. "Don't worry... You will fight later." He then flew up to the top of the tower to watch the battle.
"Interesting... they seem to have an equal chance..." He then saw more.
I've seen enough... time to end this... He took his hand and put it up to the air...
-----
Impmon took off, seeing SnowAgumon down. He ran to Tapirmon, who Daniel let go after jumping.
"Impmon Inferno!" It seemed as if both SnowAgumon & Impmon's attacks were timed as Tsumemon and Tapirmon were thrown off their feet and fell to the ground.
"This is getting exciting..." As soon as Yukio had said that, a large Minotaur had ran off from the forest and began shooting everyone and everything.
"What the hell?" he exclaimed. Impmon turned around, and ran to Yukio.
"Just because I wear a red bandana, bulls don't have to follow it!" he muttered as he and Yukio ran away.
-----
Tapirmon bumped into Daniel, who almost tripped. At the same time, Minotarumon was coming towards them.
"EVERYONE RUN!" Daniels said, picking up Tapirmon again.
-----
Tsumemon sensed Minotarumon, but was jolted by SnowAgumon's attack. He slowly got up, and rolled off the bull's way to reach Kaijin.
"Looks like this party's over..."
*****
Kitsune stretched, then sat bolt upright. What...where? Her crystal blue eyes were wide open now. She looked around. Trees... a river... Definitely not her house. A tower... she was near a tower? Two and two together...
"Merumon?! MERUMON!!!" Kitsune called. A bush near her shook. She stared at it.
From the shadows of the leaves bounced and fox-like Digimon. Jewelry jingled on her forelegs when she landed in Kitsune's lap. Merumon.
"Hey, Fox!" Merumon grinned swishing her fluffy tail from side to side. Kitsune almost screamed when her Digimon leapt onto her lap.
"Don't scare me like that!!" Kitsune hissed. She looked at the tower again.
"You know where we are, Merumon?" the girl asked, brushing her hair behind her ear.
"Yeah... We're in the Digital World." Merumon said simply. As if... Kitsune sighed and met eye contact with her pretty partner.
"Got any idea *why* we're here?" she asked. Speaking to the Digimon sometimes led to frustration. The Digimon got off her lap.
"Nope...But maybe we should go to the Tower? Someone may know there!" Merumon said anxiously and bounded towards the large door. Kitsune shook her head and ran after the Digimon. This was weird, Merumon was never this anxious about something she didn't know. Merumon began to howl out once she got there.
"Are you nuts?? You don't know where this place is but you run up and start yelling??" Kitsune snapped.
*****
"Awww... did he really have to come right after I joined the battle? Sheesh..." Katzurimon shook her head in disappointment before running back to join Kitsui.
"Forget about it...this is only the beginning." Kitsui stated
*****
Saiseimon fell to the ground, and tried to struggle to her feet. Rikai had already caught sight of the strange Digimon, and ran toward her partner. "Come on, Saiseimon, there's no time!" She cried, picking up her partner and struggled to catch up with Daniel, lagging behind.
*****
Taka-impmon got up in some pain. "Darn it!" he yelled as he walked up to Ishtar.
"Don't worry Taka, it was only a first try." Ishtar said. "You will
be better later." she smirked.
*****
Daniel didn't think of looking back, but he had to check on the
others. He stopped and turned around. The others were a just feet
away.
"Guys, hurry!" Tapirmon glanced at Minotarumon. For such a large Digimon, it stayed in one position.
"I think that Digimon's only trying to scare us!" Tapirmon told
Daniel.
"Whatever it's doing, it's doing a fine job!" Daniel began running
again.
-----
Kaijin teleported back to the Tower, where the others were.
"You all missed a lot..." he muttered, a little upset with the sudden arrival of Minotarumon.
-----
Corsairmon sensed the arrival of a Digidestined in his Tower.
"This is unexpected..." he turned to the gates. "A new member..." He flew down the stone side and to the entrance of the gate and greeted Kitsune.
"Welcome... to the Tower..." he waved his hand at the gate, and it opened.
"I will explain everything inside..." he began walking inside.
-----
Yukio followed Kaijin and sat down on a rock to rest. Impmon slumped on the wall.
"You did good, Impmon..." Yukio muttered.
*****
Kitsune's eyebrow lifted. "See what you did, Merumon?" she growled and picked the Digimon up off the floor.
"Now you did it. How many times must I tell you...WHEN YOU PLAY A PRANK MAKE SURE PEOPLE OR DIGIMON DON'T KNOW IT'S YOU!!! you'll be doing graffiti for weeks, little miss snob-a-lot." Kistune snapped. Merumon only grinned her devilish little grin. Kitsune's put her down. Time to regain her image, she supposed. She leapt forward and jumped in front of Corsairmon.
"Hey, pal...You gotta bathroom around here? I need to tinkle something, terrible. My bladder is the size of an ant's intestines...I had this bad problem when I was little I used to wet my pants all the time. It was sticky and everything." she stated, embarrassingly loud. Then she stopped. Merumon took the lead.
"Yeah I remember that, Fox. You got it all over me too! You shoulda got up to go pee. It wasn't long ago...hang on lemme think. Oh yeah it was last night right?" Merumon said just as loud. Kitsune nodded.
"Ack...Never mind I don't have to go anymore. But where can you find grub around this vermin infested place?" she asked. Rude, loud...without the slightest bit of modesty. This was Kitsune Shadow's shield from the world.
Her appearance as stupid, hid her heart and soul. And each and everytime she said something like this, another barrier went up. This was how she wished to be. "The...*da da daaaaam* Tower!! God he makes it sound cool. I've seen better homes in those cardboard boxes on the street." Merumon added with a role of her large green eyes. Totally unimpressed to one who saw. Fox smirked.
"Maybe it's wonderful to him, but me thinks your friends need to get an apartment these days." Kitsune said. Her fingers went into her pocket. Smoke bomb...Delicately she touched it, but her expression never changed. If she wanted to get away...she could've. She knew she could...she wasn't called Fox for nothing.
*****
Rikai struggled to get away from the Digimon, running as fast as
her little legs could carry her. She hadn't run this fast in all her life, for good reason.
*****
Jim looked up in surprise at the Digimon that just emerged from the forest not far from where he was standing. "Oh..." he said to
himself, and grabbed SnowAgumon. "Come on, there's no time." He
started to run in the opposite direction, following Daniel. He caught up with Rikai, passing her without much trouble.
"Wha..." She gasped, scowling at Jim.
"Don't feel bad...I'm a lot more experienced at running away from Digimon than you." He said, grinning. Rikai rolled her eyes, and noticed Nikko, who had remained unusually Quiet through the past events. She was following suit, and hightailing it outta there faster than looked possible for a girl of her stature.
*****
Daniel stopped and turned again. Minotarumon was far away. He put down Tapirmon, a little upset at being held to safety.
"I can run on my own, you know?" Tapirmon grumpily muttered.
"Hey, gotta be careful." Daniel replied.
---
Kaijin looked around. Corsairmon was gone. "Where did the big guy go?" he asked.
---
Corsairmon turned to Kitsune. He growled lightly, but then replaced it with a smile. "Tough..." he opened his hand, and a crest appeared. He then pointed at a window in the Tower.
"That is your crest. Just wave it to that window, and you'll be in a washroom..." He turned around, returning to his Digidestined.
---
Yukio got up and took this chance to look around. He turned to the Tower. What was he doing here?
*****
Kitsune growled equally...She had quite a few words for him imbedded in her mind.
"Bump that...I'm going...to leave A.S.A.P. I hate sobs." she snarled. Merumon laughed and jumped into her arms to play with the crest.
"Don't you have enough jewelry?" Fox asked her Digimon. Merumon grinned.
"Yeeeeaaah..." she replied.
"Okay then I'm just going to put this scrap of plastic or whatever into my pocket, set it and forget it." Fox said and started towards the door. She sure as heck wasn't going to stay with a grouchy old foggie like that. Merumon yawned and snuggled into her arms.
"You shouldn'ta howled." Fox scolded softly. Merumon shrugged.
*****
Corsairmon turned to Kitsune. He could sense anger with her. "Let me tell you something... I know you want someone to love... Well... I have a plan... I want to take over this world, and yours... And once I do that... every boy in the world will be at your command... All I need you to do is come with me and help my plan in action..." He pointed to the Dark Digidestined inside the Tower's
walls.
"You and the others will help me... and after that, your wish will be granted..."
*****
Ishtar ran near Kaijin. "hey, do you think next time we attack we'll need to hide ourselves?" She asked, "the Digidestined are going to
meet us dark Digidestined someday anyways."
Taka-impmon jumped on Ishtar's shoulders.
*****
Kitsune stopped. Merumon was now dozing. At the words of promise from the Digimon, she turned. Her crystal blue eyes flickered for a moment. //Lie...// a voice told her mentally //Lie to him...he knows nothing of you. Do not believe him.// Kitsune's eyes, warmed for a moment by the thought, became cold and icy once more.
"I... need... no one. I don't want boys everywhere. I don't want to be adored. I want true, honest, heart felt love. And I will force no one to love me. I won't help you if that's all you have to offer. I'm up for a bargain though..." she growled. Lying... so good at it. She knew she was. She prided herself on her lies. Deep down, Kitsune was dying to believe this Digimon.
She did want love, and with his offer, she just may find it. But Kitsune only mentally impaled this thought to death. Her icy eyes met his fearlessly.
"You... let me have one boy I want no matter who it is. That's all. Simple, no? And I don't need to listen to some stupid explanation... You tell your others what they need to know. You just tell me what you need when. I don't want to ask questions and I don't want answers. Of course, only if we have a deal. If not, then forget it. I'm not stupid, you know, just sly." she smirked angrily. If he wanted her help, he'd have to change the reward. And if he could read minds, he'd have trouble reading hers. She kept it perfectly blank with her stupidity.
*****
Corsairmon crossed his arms. This one was hard to persuade...
"Very well... you will be able to choose anyone in the world, as long as you follow my command..." Corsairmon stopped. There was another Dark Digidestined arriving.
"There are others like you... except they don't work for me. They are Digidestined... you and my other minions must keep them from going any further from this Tower, or beyond the ocean... If possible, you can eliminate them permanently..." He closed the gates.
"If you wish to stay on your own... very well..." He pointed at her digivice. It instantly changed into another version.
"I will call you with this whenever I will need you..."
---
Daniel sat down, almost fainting. He turned to Tapirmon. "Well...
that was fun..." Daniel said, between deep breaths.
---
Kaijin turned to Ishtar. "It's up to Corsairmon, but personally, I
think we should show ourselves to the other Digidestined..."
****
Daniel finally got his lungs running well again, and decided to
remember what they needed to do. The sun was almost setting.
"Shelter... we need shelter!" he said, almost screaming the words.
"Hey! No need to get excited, Daniel!" Tapirmon said.
"You know anyplace to stay at night here?"
"Not really... no wait... the forest. Not much danger there, and its really shady!"
"So I guess we're going there..."
*****
Shadow walked down the stairs of the tower. After Shadow got
off the stairs he looked around "So whats going on?" Shadow was
followed by his Digimon, Hagurumon. Shadow's eyes were filled with
darkness.
****
Jim and Nikko arrived Shortly after Daniel sat down. "That was some ride." Jim said, grinning still just happy to be around people. Nikko nodded silently. She looked around, then back to Daniel and Jim. "Where is Rikai?" She said, looking serious. Her question was soon answered by the remaining Digidestined slowly making her way up the hill, panting heavily and obviously exhausted. She staggered over to where the others were sitting, and slowly sank to her knees, then feet. To tired to speak, she laid down on the grass, and lightly closed her eyes. Opening them, and sitting up, she looked at her comrades. "It's getting late, isn't it?"
*****
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
A slight groan of protest escaped a sleeping boy's lips as his ears
were bombarded by the beeping sound of his laptop. The laptop turned
itself on, but there was nothing more than a mere blank screen. The
boy turned his back at the laptop, which was currently settled on top
of his desk, then he placed a pillow above his head. He mumbled
something about giving him a few more minutes of sleep.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
There it goes again, but this time, there was a message written on the screen...
/Wake up! I know that you're awake...\
The boy placed the pillow beside him then he turned to face his
laptop. He gasped when he saw the message itself then he shook his
head. He mumbled something about this being a dream but then the
laptop beeped again, making him jump slightly.
/This isn't a dream... this is real... You are seeing this, Arashi...\
Arashi got curious, so he sat upright and then he moved the laptop closer to himself. He thought for a moment then he noticed that he received a new e-mail.
"Eh?" He checked to see what was written...
Arashi, we are in dire need of your services, as the Digital World is in danger. You are our only hope in saving our world and yours. This
is not a hoax. You must press the button below this message.
Everything you need to know will be answered after you do so...
.::***::.
"Okay...this is getting weirder by the minute..." He shrugged ever so slightly and then his hand absentmindedly clicked on the button. "I did not do that I did not do that I did not do that!!!" Arashi
exclaimed then the screen emitted a bright light, forcing the boy to
shield his eyes. The same light engulfed him completely, and the
moment Arashi opened his eyes...he noticed that he was in a whole
different place.
"What the?" Trees, grass, mountains...definitely not his own room. All of a sudden he felt something on his head, he looked up then he saw a black ball-looking creature that has wings on it's sides.
::Nande kuso?! You're my partner...how...interesting...:: The black ball-like creature stated through Arashi's mind, with a hint of
sarcasm in his voice.
"Er...partner?"
::Aiya...Do I really have to explain everything?:: The creature
sighed, ::Just call me...Yeromon...but for now...let's look for the
others::
"The...others??" Arashi asked as he started to walk.
::Geez...it seems that I really have to explain everything. Look,
you're in the Digital World, a world kinda like your own world but
it's made up of Data. This world is filled with different sorts of
Digital Monsters a.k.a. Digimon::
"I'm assuming that you're one of 'em?"
::Correct, Einstein. Now get a move on or else we won't find the
other Digidestined:: Arashi sighed then he did what Yeromon told him
to do. He walked through the forest then he suddenly heard some
voices.
"There's somebody over there..." Arashi mumbled to himself but
Yeromon could still hear it. After a few moments, Arashi spotted some
kids around his age.
::Looks like they're heading for the forest...:: Yeromon stated,
looking at the huddled group of Digidestined.
"Forest?" The red-headed boy shrugged then he quickly made his way towards the group. "Er...Hi..."
*****
Wolfmon landed onto the ground and faced fujitsumon. they stared at each other as if they just swore to each other that they will be rivals and will not stop trying to kill each other.
Fujitsumon looked back, as if communicating with someone else. he nodded, then sprinted toward the bushes where he came from. Wolfmon followed him, but he was nowhere to be seen.
-----
"You were late, fujitsumon." Arthur said as fujitsumon teleported
back at the tower right beside Arthur, "it's not your fault. I was the last dark Digidestined to arrive here anyways."
-----
Collin looked at the others, noticing that no one was fighting,
then to wolfmon, who was by the bushes.
"Wolfmon!" he shouted, "what are you doing over there?"
"Ohhh... nothing... I was following some Digimon, but I couldn't
find it." Gabumon turned to Collin, "There will be more of this... ambush, Collin."
"What do you mean?"
"When my opponent looked back towards the bushes, he made a small nod, then ran away. it was as if they were sent here to attack us, only for us to be warned of what is coming in the future..."
"ohhh..." Collin said, then paused, "let's go to the others. I
think they are having an important conversation."
*****
Daniel called all of the Digidestined together. "Ok Tapirmon
suggested the forest... Jim, is it still close to that river you fished in? If it is, then could you and..." Daniel turned to Piper and pointed at her. "Her go fish?" Daniel turned to the forest. "Rikai, Collin, get some firewood... Me and Nikko can get some fruits to go with the fish! Let's all get back
here in an hour..." he looked to the sun. "That's probably around
sunset! And if you guys get lost, just check our digivices..." Daniel
was surprised, yet glad, to hear himself actually giving orders to
other people. The closest he gave orders was to his old dog, Sparkz.
-----
Kaijin turned to Taira. "So why didn't you come with us?" he asked, a little disappointed.
-----
Yukio finally decided to stop thinking. He turned to everyone. "I
really think we should get some food!" Impmon had said the words he
wanted to say... maybe more.
Yukio sweatdropped.
-----
"But before you leave, I could at least give you some food and meet the other people. After that, you can go on your own." Corsairmon said, sensing the amount of hunger growing within the Dark Digidestined. He snapped his fingers, and the other Digidestined were instantly brought to a large dining room. Although the Tower seemed damp and dirty on the outside, the inside was like a majestic castle.
-----
"The hell! I'm starting to hate this Star Trek teleporting style!"
Kaijin said, but stopped after, seeing what was being given to them.
"Holy s***!" he said, seeing the large table, fancy silverware and
chairs... it reminded him of the English castles...
*****
"Alright." Collin nodded to Daniel's orders, "Rikai, we should go
together. after the attack, who knows what will happen in the forest!
two Digimon are stronger than one."
Collin was worried in general as he began to think that the
territory they were in is watched closely by some evil force. He was
also a bit mad about how Daniel ordered everyone so quickly. "Daniel
probably didn't even know who half of those people were." He began to have some doubts about him, thought he still considered him as a
friend.
-----
"wow... food..." Arthur mumbled as he looked at the big dining
table upon him, "What are we waiting for?!?!? Let's eat!" Arthur ran towards a chair. Fujitsumon sat beside him. They were so hungry, yet they waited for the others to come.
*****
Kitsune shook her head. Merumon yawned at the food. Both of them weren't tasted for these kind of royal-like things.
"You hungry?" Kitsune asked Merumon, in an unusual soft voice. Merumon shook her head.
"Nope. I'm not hungry, Fox. I just wanna go home...And listen to flutey." Merumon said, nuzzling Fox's leg. This wasn't entirely true but she loved herpartner more than anyone, and knew Fox was uncomfortable in the Digital World.
"Well then I'll just wait." the girl said finally, her voice regaining the coldness as she backed against one wall. Merumon leapt into Kitsune's arms and nuzzled in, beginning to doze off. Kitsune, meanwhile, observed the other Dark Digidestined with an almost disgusted look. Oh how despised people. Then Kaijin burst out with his remark and she released a soft growl. He had no manners. She hated cussing, but she had no place to tell anyone anything. Fox herself, was
an unmodest trickster.
*****
Rikai smiled, and followed Collin. "Oh...I'm gonna be so sore
tomorrow..." She said, feeling her legs. "Not cut out for running, that's me. Oh well..." She said, passing Collin, not even thinking about where she was walking.
"Er...Hi."
Rikai looked up to meet the eyes of a red-haired boy, her age, maybe a little older. She was scared at first...hadn't all of the kids
come to the digital world at once? Who was this stranger? She took a step back, and looked nervously up at him. Then she caught sight of his eyes. They were green, like hers, but...she could tell from them that he wasn't someone she had to be scared of. She relaxed, and remembered her manners. "Hi there. Um...I'm Rikai. Who would you be?"
*****
Daniel turned around. There was another person with Rikai. Just by the red hair and the green eyes, Daniel thought it was Rikai's
brother.
"Guys, hold on..." he said. He walked beside Rikai.
"Hey... my name's Daniel..."
-----
Kaijin was amazed by everything. He was starting to like this Dark Digidestined business every second... He took a seat and waited for the others to take a seat. Yukio also took a seat. He smiled. He
turned to Impmon, who jumped onto his seat, waiting for anyone else
to start.
-----
Corsairmon smiled lightly. He had eight Dark Digidestined. He now had the upper hand. He turned to the newest member, Shadow.
"Welcome to the Tower..."
-CHAPTER TWO END-
Go to: http://www.geocities.com/takabero_n_kashikoi for more details.
Daniel looked around. They were all right. This was definitely not Japan... at least, Japan wasn't this spectacular... He got up and turned to everyone with him.
"Ok... anybody got a compass?" he said, hoping that absurd question would actually be answered.
*****
Kitsui was inside his room, sitting in front of his laptop. He was surfing the net then he sighed. He then decided to check his e-mail... since he didn't have anything better to do. While he was browsing through his e-mails, one e-mail caught his eyes.
"Nande?" He asked himself then he started to read the message itself...
Kitsui, you are being offered the chance to prove to yourself and to the rest of this world that you are more powerful and more skilled...
Just call me the Gatekeeper... I will tell you everything you need to know, and what you must do to prove yourself to everyone... Just press the button below... That's all you need to do to show them what power truly means...
-oOo-
"Eh? Doesn't really explain much but what the heck..." He shrugged then he clicked on the button. He suddenly found himself somewhere away from his room. He was inside some kind of tower, and he was with someone else too...
*****
Ishtar was sittin' at home in her room. "I wonder if I got any e-
mail." she said as she walked to her computer. She went online and
saw a strange message. "What the heck is this?" Her eyes narrow.
The message said: Ishtar, we are in dire need of your services, as the Digital World is in danger. You are our only hope in saving our world and yours. This
is not a hoax. You must press the button below this message.
Everything you need to know will be answered after you do so...
.::***::.
"Wha?" Ishtar was confused. Suddenly she fell into a portal and
landed at some strange place. "Where am I?"
*****
Rikai glanced down at her wrist, looking at what should have been her watch. "No, sorry... um, I don't know your name. I USED to have a watch that said what the temperature was, but... I don't know. The e-mail I opened said that all of my questions would be answered.
Funny, none of you seem the... How do ya say it?" She paused,
thinking to herself. "Oh, I know. None of you seem the Guru type. Is this some kind of strange Japanese Virtual Reality thing that foreigners wouldn't know about? Because I need to get home, and as interesting as this is, my mother is making beef stew for dinner."
Rikai said, thinking for the first time of her home. "I do need to
get home, and soon."
*****
"No...I'm sorry, I have no compass...I never thought I would need it!" Nikko said rather coldly. Whenever she was around too many
people her personality changed. "What the hell is going on here?"
*****
Arthur opened his eyes, finding himself lying down a cold, black
marble ground. He looked around and finds himself in some sort of
chamber. He stood up as he noticed he wasn't alone, then instinctively
positioned himself in his defensive stance.
"Someone better explain why I'm here or someone will get hurt!"
-----
Another strong gust of wind blew Collin's blonde hair as he
approached a group of other kids.
"Hey... I don't know how I got here, but do you know where we are?" He got the impression that everyone didn't have the answer, and was just as confused.
"Great... what should we do now?"
*****
"Someone better explain why I'm here or someone will get hurt!"
As soon as Kitsui heard that statement, he turned around to face the
boy, then he crossed his arms. "Yeah? And you actually think that we -know-...?" Kitsui asked. His voice is everything at once: friendly, swindling. Sweet, deadly.
Level, dangerous. Calm, angry. You could never tell his mood.
*****
Nikko didn't speak. She just crossed her arms sitting on the floor. Her eyes were stone cold and icy.
-----
Yukio smiled slightly. "Hey," he said. "No need to worry about it.
You, and I, will find out pretty soon... I hope."
*****
Arthur rested his arms, and became more calm, though he was more confused than ever.
"You mean to say that no one here knows where we are?" he
asked, "How did we get here, anyways? why are we in such a creepy
place?" He then realized he was wearing another black and red
outfit.
"And WHY am I wearing another set of clothes? ... This is
creeping me out. SOMEONE had better not have changed MY clothes while I was out cold!"
-----
Collin sat by the river and threw rocks at it. As the rock
skipped, he caught a glimpse of a very unusual fish.
//the fish... it seems... smart... civilized...//
He stood up, and walked back to the group.
"You guys, it's obvious that we are all lost here. I don't know how we got here, but I think we should at least learn each other's names, since we're going to be together for a long time...". He looked around, "My name is Collin."
*****
"You don't think..."Rikai said, looking at Collin, looking very
depressed. "You-You really think we won't get home soon? I have
to get home. My mother will be really worried, and my sister... I promised her I'd help her with her lines for the school play... and..." Rikai stammered, sitting down and looking at the sky. "I need to get back home." She said, blinking back tears. But this was no time to cry. First impressions and all. She sighed, and stood back up, wiping her eyes. "Sorry. I just, I miss my family already. I'm fine." She said to everyone. "Anyways, I'm Rikai. Born July 5th...and I really like brownies. That's all I can think of that's important."
*****
"It's alright, Rikai..." Collin said, thinking about his parents, "I know EXACTLY how you feel..."
*****
Daniel looked around. He noticed a small platform a few feet away. He walked up to it, sensing that this might be what they were looking for.
Just inches away, the platform suddenly hissed, and began
transmitting a message.
"Hey... guys... you all need to see this..." he told the others.
*****
Rikai walked over and inspected the strange contraption, confused. "What the...?" She mumbled to herself as she looked at
it, from behind Daniel. "Maybe we should... poke it."
*****
Collin followed Rikai, then looked at what she looked at. "What is it?"
*****
Rikai looked blankly at the mysterious object. "I haven't any
Idea..."
*****
"Should we poke it with a stick or something?" Collin suggested.
*****
"That makes perfect sense to me... but..." She said, a bit
scared of the strange device, "What if it explodes? Or emits poison
gas or something?"
*****
Daniel noticed a red button at the side. He decided to press it.
Instantly, a video of Gennai appeared.
"Greetings, Digidestined... Sorry if I can't be here in person... I'll start at the beginning... Let me introduce myself. I am Gennai, and you are in the Digital World. This is where Digital monsters or Digimon live. Right now, it is on the brink of destruction as one certain Digimon has planned to destroy it.
"All of you can stop it... all of you possess the power to stop this
event from happening. I know this seems like a great responsibility for anyone... but don't complain because my job's a lot harder...
"In order to stop the Digimon from taking over, you will be handed Digimon partners to protect and fight the evil. They are coming as we speak. But they cannot fight in their basic forms, and you must guide them to their most powerful forms... this will help you..." Bright orbs came out of the platform, holding the digivices. Daniel took his. He separated the digivice from the orb.
Gennai continued. "Those are digivices. They will help you through this world. I don't need to explain more. Those orbs will help you give more power to the Digimon...
"This Digimon... Daemon... he wants to take over... and he has taken the aid of other children like you, except they are in his command. They will try anything to stop you from destroying Daemon's plan."
More hissing from the platform...
"I do not have much time... Find the next messenger to find my next message. It is found in the map on your digivices... Good luck..." The transmission ended.
"Well, that was long..." Daniel said. He wasn't sure what to make up of it.
*****
As the D-orb, hovered, Collin took it. the device called the d-com appeared from the mysterious sphere and floated its way into collin's hands.
*****
Taira averted her eyes and saw the other children that had arrived. "We should go welcome them and get on with our preparations..." She said, her tone slightly shaking from shock still. Bowing, Taira said "Excuse me," As she entered back into the tower and saw the others. "Welcome to the digital world. All will be
explained in a moment." She awaited Kai.
*****
Arthur turned around and crossed his arms by his chest. "hmp! That was what I was asking you guys, but you never answered..." Arthur said, "If you guys think I'm scared, I'm not!"
*****
Taira couldn't help but sweatdrop at them. "No one is scared just
confused. And from what I said before. We are in the digital world on
a very important mission. It's our jobs to stop some brats from trying to stop us from dominating this world and earth..." She quirked a brow and put her hands on her hips. "Now if you would all just calm down... I'm Taira. And you all are?"
*****
Piper took her D-orb and Digivice. *This is so cool* She thought
as she looked at the Digivice. "This is going to be fun. Just think
no more school for a while."
*****
Nikko took her digivice and D-Orb as well, amazed at it. How could this be happening? "I am Nikko," she told the others, although she knew it was a bit late. Her voice was still cold and cruel.
---
"Look," Yukio said to them all. "I don't have time to wait for this
guys. Either he comes right now, or I'm joining the other side..."
*****
"Wow..." Arthur groaned, amazed, "We... we have this big
responsibility in our hands... and fighting is involved..." He turned around to the others.
-----
"Anyways, what do we have to do? what was that orb? who was that guy, Gennai? where do we go now? and I think we should have a leader of the group... I want myself to be the leader personally, but I
don't think I can hold the responsibility... so I guess I'll pass..."
*****
Ishtar looked at Arthur. "yeah, right, sure. You can beat people up with your fist." Ishtar started laughing. She then turned to Taira. "By the way, my name is Ishtar Zetsubo."
*****
Daniel turned to everyone... "Ok... first off, like Collin said, we
should introduce ourselves... I'm Daniel." he said, lightly turning to the hill on the horizon. There seemed to be movement there...
"Uh... anyone notice those things coming at us?" he said, pointing at the hill.
-----
Corsairmon turned to the tower and let out a small flame from his hand, lighting up a torch at the middle of the cylindrical room.
"Welcome... I am Corsairmon... as Taira has announced... you are all here to help me and have your greatest desires fulfilled... You are all Dark Digidestined. You are here to fight other children called
Digidestined. Why were you chosen? Because you hold something that
will bring my master to the ultimate power... from then, he will you
grant you your wishes. I will not tell you everything. You will learn everything one by one." Corsairmon continued as Kaijin walked to the room. He saw the other children with him.
All in all there were six people. They all seemed confused. He was still confused, but if all this was going to bring him power, then he
wasn't going to complain...
----
A bouncing furball with miniature horns bounced over to Daniel's arm and gave a big smile.
"HI!!!" He seemed excited to meet him.
"Uh..." Daniel was a little startled, and wasn't sure what to say.
"I said HI! You're supposed to say hi too! Or is 'uh...' hi in your
world?" he gave another smile. Daniel smiled back.
"I'm Cerimon, I'm your Digimon partner. What's your name?"
"Daniel... so... you're supposed to help us fight Daemon?"
"Hey, I'm just a little one now, but wait until I digivolve!" Cerimon's voice was encouraging.
"Er... digivolve?" Daniel was dumbfounded.
"Agh... do I have to explain everything?" Both sweatdropped.
*****
Taira smiled at they entered back into the tower. She was upset
about being dragged here, but at least she had a purpose now. Looking
back at Ishtar she smiled. "Nice hair" She giggled. She turned back to the guy in command.
"What qualities would that... be... do we find out." She just wanted to know that... then get into training. The faster she got into it the less she would worry. Not to mention her friend Kaijin was there with her, so the fear didn't seem to surface.
*****
Corsairmon turned to Taira. "Your qualities..." He turned to a wall, and put his hand in front of it. Several glowing lights appeared,
each going to a Dark Digidestined.
"You qualities are the traits that each of you possess that grant you ultimate power... Defiance, Darkness, Solitude, Destruction, Instinct, Despair..." Kai took the glowing light, instantly changing into a crest.
"What is this?" he asked.
"A physical form of your power. Use it to bring your Digimon to the greatest power..."
*****
Yukio was tripping out. "Whoa? How'd you do that?" he asked the Digimon.
-----
A black Demiveemon-looking Digimon bounced up to Nikko. "Hiyee!!! I'm Buboimon!! I'm your Digimon partner, Nikko!" Nikko smiled at the Digimon and picked it up. "Don't judge me by my size...I pack a mean punch!"
'He's just like me...' Nikko thought. 'Small, but feisty, and size
doesn't matter...'
*****
Corsairmon gave out a small laugh. "How? I wished for power... my master has granted me that wish... now I control the element of fire, and this entire fortress..."
"Now... since all of you are here. I will begin. You must choose your Digimon. Do not worry... your Digimon can be replaced. Digimon, or Digital monsters, will be your partners and will assist you in the
fight against the Digidestined. They are right here..."
Corsairmon again put his hand in front of the wall, and they were all brought to a courtyard next to the tower.
There were 2 dozen Digimon there...
"You must choose one Digimon here which you think will serve your purpose righteously..."
*****
Ishtar looked interested. "A Digimon of our own!" She looks at the dozen of Digimon. "That one looks pretty cool." Ish points her finger to Taka-impmon. "Can I have him?"
*****
Yukio stared at the group of Digimon. "Hey! I want this kewl purple one!!" Yukio said, picking up Impmon. "Hi! I'm Impmon!" said the Digimon.
*****
A ball was enclosing in to Collin really fast. A first, Collin closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes to check where it went, he realized it was right beside his foot. He looked closely, and there were eyes and a mouth on it. Then he realized it was rubbing its face on his pants. "Ah! what are you?" Collin shouted. He was about to kick it, but
he didn't want to be mean.
"I'm Wolftsunomon!" It said, "you're partner!"
"?..." Collin looked around and realized Daniel had another
creature with him. //where are we?... why are there other unknown
creatures here?// he looked back down to wolftsunomon, "Hey, wolf..."
"The name's Wolftsunomon!"
"Oh! Well, do you know where we are exactly?"
"you are in the digital world!"
*****
Arthur, who was behind the group, almost hidden in darkness, made his entrance.
"hmmm... I'll pick that dude that looks kind of like a brawler... he'll probably do some damage..."
The creature walked closer to him.
"I'm probably stronger than you!" He said, "by the way, my name is Dabuomon."
"Hmmm... some intelligence... good strength... I'm Arthur. Nice
to meet you."
*****
Kitsui looked around the courtyard then he glanced at each Digimon. His gaze fell upon a panther-type Digimon, who was currently staring right back at him.
"Greetings...they call me Katzurimon." The Digimon stated as her tail twitched ever so slightly. Her ebony eyes were narrowed in suspicion and a soft snarl escaped her maw. "Pick me...and you'll have a loyal and rebellious Digimon in one..."
Kitsui grinned, "So? I could care less."
*****
"So, Fujitsumon, Give me one good reason why i should pick you
instead of these other digimon." Arthur demanded an answer.
"Do you like to fight? Are you a brawler? Is strength and pride what you care?" Fujitsumon asked, "if that is your description, then you are the perfect partner for me."
"Good point..."
*****
Rikai looked around for her partner...she was excited to meet her new friend. When she laid eyes on the little pink blob, she knew that they were tied by fate. "Hi!!" The fuzzy pink creature chirped "I'm Saiseimon! I've been WAITING and WAITING for you...I'm so glad you're finally here!" Rikai looked in amazement at the little
guy staring in disbelief.
"You...Speak English?" Saiseimon looked back, smiling. "Well, Language isn't a problem when you want to understand. I just talk." Rikai Looked to the other Digidestined, mouth slightly gaping. "This is unreal."
*****
Arthur didn't know nor notice the light that hovered beside him. It was concentrated light, almost blinding to the eyes.
"Hey! what is this?" He asked, but everyone were too excited to
meet their partners. He dared himself to grab it. As it touched his skin, it clamped his hand into a fist and closed his eyes tightly. He opened his eyes again, but the light was gone. He looked at his fist, where a chip-like figure hid. On it was a crest, Arthur thought of it as the crest of destruction. Then he placed it inside his pocket.
"Excuse me, um... Corsairmon, is that your name? by the way, what do we do with the crest we received? don't we get some kind of cases for those things? they look delicate, but important."
*****
Ishtar looked at Arthur. "Yeah what are these for?" She looked at her Crest of Solitude. Taka-impmon lay in Ishtar's arm looking into blank space with his dim yellow eyes.
*****
Daniel turned to the other Digidestined and smiled. He wasn't sure what to do with all this information...
"Everyone, maybe we should start finding shelter before nightfall... and some food..." his stomach grumbled at the word...
"Does anybody have any now?"
---
Corsairmon turned to Arthur. He smirked. "You're a smart one..." he muttered. "I'm still not sure you're all worthy of this quest... which is why training is in progress... finish this and more questions will be answered..." he said, only to Arthur...
He then turned to everyone...
"Now that you all have a Digimon, the next phase is some training..." They were instantly transported to a room with several videos. The Digidestined.
"These are your enemies... as you can see, they have their Digimon also... those are weak little things, drones you can smash with you tiny fingers... I suggest a quick ambush is in progress..."
Kai understood what he meant. So did Tsumemon. He then leaped off to a teleporter, leading him to the woods near the Digidestined. He then waited for the other Digimon to follow.
*****
Jim turned around, hearing voices coming from behind him. He looked down the hill and saw people. "people, PEOPLE!!!!! Finally, I won't be so lonely." "Hey what about me?" SnowAgumon asked. "you know what I mean." Jim started running down the hill. "HEY! HEY, YOU PEOPLE DOWN THERE!!!" As Jim reached the bottom, he ran up to them, and, after realizing they weren't just a mirage, promptly passed out.
A few minutes later he woke up. After standing up. He looked at the people. "Hi, let me introduce myself. My name is Jim, and this is my partner and friend, SnowAgumon." "Hi!" said SnowAgumon.
*****
"C'mon, Arthur! we must follow them to the teleporter!"
Fujitsumon reminded him.
"No, duh..." He leaped into the teleporter and landed into soft
grass, right beside Kaijin. Fujitsumon followed and teleported right
in front of him.
"That's them..." Arthur said pointing at the Digidestined, "those
are our enemies..."
*****
"A quick ambush? They have to learn patience..." Katzurimon murmured to herself as she jumped into the teleporter.
Kitsui shrugged then he soon followed Katzurimon, leading him to where the others were. He landed in a semi-kneeling position
then he stood up, dusting himself off.
*****
"HEY! HEY ALL YOU PEOPLE DOWN THERE!" A strange voice cried. Rikai turned in surprise to see a strange boy running randomly down towards the Digidestined. The tall boy stopped, inspected the group of children, and promptly passed out. "Oh...My..." Rikai said,
getting on her knees. "Does anyone know this boy?" Rikai said,
looking very worried. The stranger's eye's snapped open, and he
smiled.
"Hi, let me introduce myself. My name is Jim, and this is
my partner and friend, SnowAgumon." Rikai looked in surprise at the
Digimon as she stood up. She hadn't even noticed the creature
before. "Hi!" The creature squeaked. Rikai looked at the other
Digidestined and shrugged, nervously glancing at the stranger.
"Well... Jim... Nice to meet you. I'm Rikai."
*****
Piper watched as the others Digimon partners came. She looked at a small orange Digimon with a horn on its head, hopping towards
her. "Hello, your finally here. I'm Tsunomon." He said stopping right
in front of Piper. "I'm Piper, pleased to meet you." Piper looks over
at Jim and his Digimon partner.
*I wonder who they are* She says to herself as she walks over to where Rikai and Jim were, with Tsunomon at her heels. "Are you
ok?" Piper asks Jim.
*****
Ishtar and Taka-impmon saw the Digidestined talking. "Taka-impmon, take a close look, those kids are our enemies."
"Really..." taka-impmon stood and looked at them.
"So..." Ishtar turned to Kaijin and Arthur. "This looks very
interesting, don't you think guys?" Ishtar smiled and fixed her
gloves.
*****
Daniel turned to the others and saw another person with them. The other kids were worried about the unconscious boy. He then woke up and introduced himself.
"Hey..." Tapirmon said to SnowAgumon. "So what happened to your buddy there?"
----
Kaijin turned to Arthur and Ishtar... "We wait for awhile... they're not suspecting an attack yet... but I think we should see what
they're going to do first."
Tsumemon was next to him. He then turned to the Tower behind them. He knew Corsairmon's plan...
*****
Collin walked towards the crowd and spotted an unusual person. He seemed very tough.
"Hey... where were you from? It seems like you've been here for a long time. My name is Collin."
"And I'm Wolftsunomon!" Collin's partner added, "What's your
name?"
------------------------------
Arthur examined the Digidestined. His eyes were mainly fixed on
the boy who just came from the mountains.
"He looks like a challenge to me..." He murmured to himself, then turned to Kaijin "Once we attack, I'll get that guy... he looks like
he's been fighting... I'll be fun..."
*****
Ishtar looked at Arthur. "It doesn't matter who gets who anyways,
they'll all be gone once we get down there." she smirked. "I'll just
get I don't know, I'll go after the girls first."
"whatever." Taka-impmon stood there as he messed with his bandanna.
*****
Rikai sighed, and gave Jim a nervous smile. "Heh...You know,
Running out of no where and screaming isn't exactly how we welcome
people where I come from." She looked Jim over carefully, and
turned to Daniel. "Hey, this child seems a bit..." She paused, hoping not to offend Jim. It was obvious this kid had been in the
digital world for a while. "...Rustic. Maybe he knows how to get
food."
*****
Daniel looked at Jim, then at Rikai. "I think you're right... looks a
little bruised. Maybe we should let him rest a bit. Then we can ask him where to find shelter and food."
-----
Kaijin turned to Arthur. "I don't care who you're going to fight...
Corsairmon wants us to give them a bit of a scare... we're not going
to kill them just yet... Just for excitement."
*****
"A scare? that's it? hmmm..." Arthur thought for a while. "Maybe
we should hide our identity for now. let's just sent our Digimon to
finish them - I mean - scare them... how about it?"
"Sounds like an okay plan..." Fujitsumon said as he tightened his
bandaged strapped around his knuckles.
--- --- --- --- --- ---
"Hey, Daniel, I think we should find shelter now..." Collin
suggested, "We really don't know this place... what if we get attacked by evil creatures? What do you think, Wolftsunomon?" Wolftsunomon's eyes and concentration were fixed on the surroundings. he was silently gnarling.
"What's wrong?" Collin said.
"I have a feeling that we're being watched."
*****
Rikai nodded to Daniel sighing. "I see what you mean." She
said, looking back at Jim. "You feeling any better, stranger?" Rikai said, double checking to make sure he wasn't to terribly hurt.
"Uh...Yeah...Sorry about that. I usually don't go passing out all
the time." Jim said, standing to his feet. "I'm pretty sure I know where there's some shelter...but...I don't really remember." He
said, blushing slightly.
"Jim, I remember!!" Snow Agumon squeaked.
"There's a nice cave over there. I remember because we fished for
food in the river and I helped." Jim's Digimon said, smiling.
*****
"I suggest we wait...we still don't know what they're made of.
Perhaps we could observe them for a little while...then spring upon
them in their weakest moment..." Kitsui stated then he shrugged. "...I have no clue if it will work..."
A soft snarl escaped Katzurimon's maw, her eyes narrowed in suspicion as she continued to watch the Digidestined in silence. "That kid's Digimon..." She murmured, referring to Collin. "...I think he can
sense us..."
*****
"Wolftsunomon, I don't think there is anyone over there..."
Collin said, "c'mon, there's a guy that knows where a shelter is. we
should follow them. go onto my shoulder!"
"Alright..." wolftsunomon said as he hopped onto collin's
shoulder, still staring at the bushes behind "I'll keep an eye just in case..."
--- --- ---
"Now's our chance..." Arthur said quietly, "they're walking away
from us. their backs our facing us!"
"But that Digimon's eyes are fixed in this direction. Katzurimon's right, and so is Kitsui, we should wait."
*****
Ishtar looked angry. "I'm not a very patient person."
"just stick to Kitsui and Arthur's plan, you only have to wait a
little while" Taka-impmon said sweatdropping.
"okay, okay" Ishtar looked at Taka-impmon and listened.
*****
Daniel turned to Rikai and Collin. "Collin, I think Wolftsunomon's
right... I think someone's watching us... We really need to find shelter as soon as possible... Jim... can you take us to the cave? Or at least, where it was close to?"
---
Kaijin turned to Arthur and Ishtar. "They're more determined on
finding shelter. Now's the perfect time..." Tsumemon then closed his
eyes, and put his claws on the ground.
"Ready..." Tsumemon muttered.
*****
"Finally." Ishtar said grinning.
"I'm ready" Taka-impmon said as he put the same expression on his face as Ishtar had.
*****
"Haha... now's the time..." Arthur said as fujitsumon tightened
his belt, ready for a fight.
"anytime you're ready..."
--- --- ---
"grr..." wolftsunomon growled quietly to himself as he sensed a
movement, "grrr..."
"You're right, Daniel, we should go."
*****
Jim Slowly got to his feet, wobbling slightly. "Sure...I don't really remember...I guess SnowAgumon will have to lead the way." He said, gaining his balance. "HooKay. Fine now. Sorry about that. I'm just... It's been a long time since I've seen other...PEOPLE."
Rikai looked at him, seriously. "Well, we're here now. No need to
worry about anything."
*****
"you haven't seen any people for a while?" Collin said, talking to
Jim, "how long have you been stranded here with your Digi-pal? and
how did you survive?"
*****
Katzurimon emitted a deep growl, her tail flicking back and forth.
Her gaze was fixed on Wolftsunomon, knowing that he can sense them. /...I strongly suggest that we wait...but I guess they wouldn't listen.../ She thought to herself then she shook her head.
"Katzurimon...?" Kitsui asked, turning to look at his partner. The
panther-type Digimon nodded, her eyes never leaving the Digidestined.
"Ready...just say the word..."
*****
Nikko just looked at the group as they decided where to get shelter at. Her face was expressionless, not making a sound.
---
Yukio and his partner got ready. "Let's do this!" He then whispered to his Digimon. "Let's get Nikko...turning me down all the
time...she'll see how much she would like to be with me.."
*****
Daniel turned to Cerimon, who had been silent for quite a while. "Daniel, let's go! They're leaving us." He pointed to the rest of the group, already way in front of him.
-----
"He's alone... Perfect timing... Attack... now!" Kai made sure
Tsumemon heard the last word, and his Digimon raced towards Cerimon and Daniel...
*****
Rikai plucked her Digimon off her shoulder, and looked at her
seriously. "Saiseimon-you can fly, right?" Saiseimon flapped her wings, and lifted off her partner's arms. "Yeah...I get what you're getting at..." Rikai smiled. "All right. You go and help, I'll catch up." Saiseimon flew over to Daniel and Tapirmon, blocking them from the incoming Digimon. "CRIMSON PRISM!" She cried, aiming at the attackers.
*****
Jim and SnowAgumon gave each other a knowing grin. "All right boys and girls...it's time to see how it's done in the digital world.
Go!! SnowAgumon, White Flame!!" Jim's Digimon ran over to the
battle scene, tripping on the way. "That's how it's done in the digital world, eh?" Rikai asked Jim, who was experiencing a sweatdrop moment. "I'm going. Collin, Nikko, Jim...I'll meet you there!" She said, hurrying to join her Digimon partner.
*****
"Fujitsumon looked into Arthur's eyes and knew that it was time
to attack. quickly, it leaped out of the bushes, its sight locked into
wolftsunomon.
Arthur only smiled, knowing that fujitsumon and himself had the
same fighting style: eyes on target, attack on full force.
Wolftsunomon jumped unexpectedly. Collin startled as he saw
wolftsunomon up in the air, glowing.
"Wolftsunomon! what's happening to you?" Collin yelled.
"Wolftsunomon, digivolve to..." it shouted, "Wolfmon!"
*****
"Oh, boy. Agumon, get up, we he's coming and your lying there.
Get up!" Jim reached into his pocket and pulled out his digivice and
pointed it towards Tsumemon. "What are your stats..." Jim mumbled, "..here we go. Tsumemon.. Champion... Virus Type... Attack: Rising Spike... We'll here we go. SnowAgumon! His attack is a ground attack. Try hitting him when he's already attacked, that's when he's weak!" Jim looked at Rikai, "This is what the battles are really about, strategy."
*****
"Wolfmon...?" Collin thought. Wolfmon jumped back down, as he slashed fujitsumon, but he only dodged it.
"Where's wolftsunomon?" Collin asked.
"But I am wolftsunomon... in a rookie level." he answered, "I'm
still your partner, in a stronger level! now that I have changed, my
new name is Wolfmon!"
"wow... you can become stronger by changing yourself?" Collin
asked.
"the word you are looking for is evolving."
*****
Taka-impmon looked at Rikai's Pekakumon and jumped towards it to attack. "Icy Ball!!!" he shouted and there was a ball of ice heading
towards Pekakumon.
"That's the way to do it!!" Ishtar thought.
*****
Piper watched as this went on. She looked down at Tsunomon, then over at Rikai and her Digimon. "Rikai, Pekakumon, In front of you"
Piper says running over to Rikai, Tsunomon close behind.
*****
Pekakumon was hit by the Ice Ball Attack, and flew backwards,
hitting the ground. "I...have to..." the small Digimon mumbled as it
started to emit a strange light. Suddenly, with a bright flash, there was a new Digimon in the place of Pekakumon. "Who...are you
supposed to be?"
Rikai asked, feeling the same warmth from this Digimon that she had from pekakumon. "I'm Saiseimon...I've become stronger now, and I'll be able to fight!" She said, flying into the air, and heading towards Taka-Impmon. "Rainbow Sunlight!"
*****
Taka-impmon looked at the attack heading towards him. "What the heck is that!?" He quickly moved out of the way. "that was close."
"Good, you dodged Taka!" Ishtar yelled.
*****
Rikai's head snapped up, looking for the source of the yelling. "Hey..." She mumbled, "Hey, I think I heard another kid around here!!" Rikai said, trotting up beside Daniel, panting hard. "Maybe It was another Digimon."
*****
Saiseimon again attacked Taka-Impmon, firing two shots. "Rainbow Sunlight!"
*****
""Come on, SnowAgumon!" Jim cried to his Digimon, digivice in hand. SnowAgumon fired a blast of freezing breath at Tsumemon,
attempting to freeze it in place.
*****
Tsumemon was distracted by Tapirmon. He didn't notice the shard of ice that was about to strike his back. Not yet...
"Magick Strike!" Both attacks seemed to hit him, but Tsumemon was already miles away from the explosion.
"Rising Spike!" He dug his claw on the ground, and a large rock spike hit Tapirmon, throwing him off.
Daniel was wide-eyed by the battle. Tapirmon... He ran to him, but spikes blocked him from Tapirmon. He hadn't noticed Rikai behind him.
"Damn!"
-----
Kaijin smiled. This "scare" was going out well, considering the basic strategies they were using.
-----
"Impmon Inferno!" Impmon blasted SnowAgumon from behind.
"Good shot!" Yukio said.
*****
Saiseimon let out a cry of victory at the fallen Taka-Impmon, and landed on the ground. "Don't kill it, Saiseimon! Let it be...just
don't let it get away." Rikai said to her partner. "Grr...who are you? Why do you attack us?" Saiseimon growled, keeping a close eye on Taka- Impmon.
*****
Jim Picked up his partner, and pulled him away from the battle. "Are you alright, pal?" He said, trying to smile. "Of course..."
SnowAgumon murmured, glancing back at the battle. "I have to go and fight!" He said, hoping to his feet. "That's my partner!" Jim
said, grinning. They ran back to the site of the battle, and SnowAgumon took aim at Tsumemon. "Ice Breath!"
*****
Katzurimon's ears perked up then she looked at her fallen comrade, Taka-Impmon. She emitted a low deep growl then she dashed towards the battlefield. She jumped over Taka-Impmon, so she's in front of him, standing in a defensive position.
"You won't know anything...because it's none of your business!" She boomed then she leaped into the air. "Freezing Arrows!" Almost
immediately, arrows of ice appeared all around her. With a flick of her paw, she sent all of the arrows flying towards Saiseimon.
*****
Tapirmon managed to get up, but not without an attack to scare off Tsumemon. Not suspecting it, he was Tsumemon was thrown off. His claws returned to their regular size, and Daniel ran to Tapirmon.
"Hey, you ok?" he asked.
"I kicked that mon's butt! What makes you think I'm not?" Tapirmon said, a hint of anger in his voice. Daniel spotted Tsumemon already up, and attacked again.
"Rising Spike!"
Daniel grabbed Tapirmon and jumped off, barely escaping a sharp claw.
-----
Kaijin suddenly changed his expression to disappointment. The balance easily changed in the battle. He growled and turned to the others.
"This is pathetic..."
-----
Corsairmon turned to the other Dark Digidestined who had not joined in the fight. "Don't worry... You will fight later." He then flew up to the top of the tower to watch the battle.
"Interesting... they seem to have an equal chance..." He then saw more.
I've seen enough... time to end this... He took his hand and put it up to the air...
-----
Impmon took off, seeing SnowAgumon down. He ran to Tapirmon, who Daniel let go after jumping.
"Impmon Inferno!" It seemed as if both SnowAgumon & Impmon's attacks were timed as Tsumemon and Tapirmon were thrown off their feet and fell to the ground.
"This is getting exciting..." As soon as Yukio had said that, a large Minotaur had ran off from the forest and began shooting everyone and everything.
"What the hell?" he exclaimed. Impmon turned around, and ran to Yukio.
"Just because I wear a red bandana, bulls don't have to follow it!" he muttered as he and Yukio ran away.
-----
Tapirmon bumped into Daniel, who almost tripped. At the same time, Minotarumon was coming towards them.
"EVERYONE RUN!" Daniels said, picking up Tapirmon again.
-----
Tsumemon sensed Minotarumon, but was jolted by SnowAgumon's attack. He slowly got up, and rolled off the bull's way to reach Kaijin.
"Looks like this party's over..."
*****
Kitsune stretched, then sat bolt upright. What...where? Her crystal blue eyes were wide open now. She looked around. Trees... a river... Definitely not her house. A tower... she was near a tower? Two and two together...
"Merumon?! MERUMON!!!" Kitsune called. A bush near her shook. She stared at it.
From the shadows of the leaves bounced and fox-like Digimon. Jewelry jingled on her forelegs when she landed in Kitsune's lap. Merumon.
"Hey, Fox!" Merumon grinned swishing her fluffy tail from side to side. Kitsune almost screamed when her Digimon leapt onto her lap.
"Don't scare me like that!!" Kitsune hissed. She looked at the tower again.
"You know where we are, Merumon?" the girl asked, brushing her hair behind her ear.
"Yeah... We're in the Digital World." Merumon said simply. As if... Kitsune sighed and met eye contact with her pretty partner.
"Got any idea *why* we're here?" she asked. Speaking to the Digimon sometimes led to frustration. The Digimon got off her lap.
"Nope...But maybe we should go to the Tower? Someone may know there!" Merumon said anxiously and bounded towards the large door. Kitsune shook her head and ran after the Digimon. This was weird, Merumon was never this anxious about something she didn't know. Merumon began to howl out once she got there.
"Are you nuts?? You don't know where this place is but you run up and start yelling??" Kitsune snapped.
*****
"Awww... did he really have to come right after I joined the battle? Sheesh..." Katzurimon shook her head in disappointment before running back to join Kitsui.
"Forget about it...this is only the beginning." Kitsui stated
*****
Saiseimon fell to the ground, and tried to struggle to her feet. Rikai had already caught sight of the strange Digimon, and ran toward her partner. "Come on, Saiseimon, there's no time!" She cried, picking up her partner and struggled to catch up with Daniel, lagging behind.
*****
Taka-impmon got up in some pain. "Darn it!" he yelled as he walked up to Ishtar.
"Don't worry Taka, it was only a first try." Ishtar said. "You will
be better later." she smirked.
*****
Daniel didn't think of looking back, but he had to check on the
others. He stopped and turned around. The others were a just feet
away.
"Guys, hurry!" Tapirmon glanced at Minotarumon. For such a large Digimon, it stayed in one position.
"I think that Digimon's only trying to scare us!" Tapirmon told
Daniel.
"Whatever it's doing, it's doing a fine job!" Daniel began running
again.
-----
Kaijin teleported back to the Tower, where the others were.
"You all missed a lot..." he muttered, a little upset with the sudden arrival of Minotarumon.
-----
Corsairmon sensed the arrival of a Digidestined in his Tower.
"This is unexpected..." he turned to the gates. "A new member..." He flew down the stone side and to the entrance of the gate and greeted Kitsune.
"Welcome... to the Tower..." he waved his hand at the gate, and it opened.
"I will explain everything inside..." he began walking inside.
-----
Yukio followed Kaijin and sat down on a rock to rest. Impmon slumped on the wall.
"You did good, Impmon..." Yukio muttered.
*****
Kitsune's eyebrow lifted. "See what you did, Merumon?" she growled and picked the Digimon up off the floor.
"Now you did it. How many times must I tell you...WHEN YOU PLAY A PRANK MAKE SURE PEOPLE OR DIGIMON DON'T KNOW IT'S YOU!!! you'll be doing graffiti for weeks, little miss snob-a-lot." Kistune snapped. Merumon only grinned her devilish little grin. Kitsune's put her down. Time to regain her image, she supposed. She leapt forward and jumped in front of Corsairmon.
"Hey, pal...You gotta bathroom around here? I need to tinkle something, terrible. My bladder is the size of an ant's intestines...I had this bad problem when I was little I used to wet my pants all the time. It was sticky and everything." she stated, embarrassingly loud. Then she stopped. Merumon took the lead.
"Yeah I remember that, Fox. You got it all over me too! You shoulda got up to go pee. It wasn't long ago...hang on lemme think. Oh yeah it was last night right?" Merumon said just as loud. Kitsune nodded.
"Ack...Never mind I don't have to go anymore. But where can you find grub around this vermin infested place?" she asked. Rude, loud...without the slightest bit of modesty. This was Kitsune Shadow's shield from the world.
Her appearance as stupid, hid her heart and soul. And each and everytime she said something like this, another barrier went up. This was how she wished to be. "The...*da da daaaaam* Tower!! God he makes it sound cool. I've seen better homes in those cardboard boxes on the street." Merumon added with a role of her large green eyes. Totally unimpressed to one who saw. Fox smirked.
"Maybe it's wonderful to him, but me thinks your friends need to get an apartment these days." Kitsune said. Her fingers went into her pocket. Smoke bomb...Delicately she touched it, but her expression never changed. If she wanted to get away...she could've. She knew she could...she wasn't called Fox for nothing.
*****
Rikai struggled to get away from the Digimon, running as fast as
her little legs could carry her. She hadn't run this fast in all her life, for good reason.
*****
Jim looked up in surprise at the Digimon that just emerged from the forest not far from where he was standing. "Oh..." he said to
himself, and grabbed SnowAgumon. "Come on, there's no time." He
started to run in the opposite direction, following Daniel. He caught up with Rikai, passing her without much trouble.
"Wha..." She gasped, scowling at Jim.
"Don't feel bad...I'm a lot more experienced at running away from Digimon than you." He said, grinning. Rikai rolled her eyes, and noticed Nikko, who had remained unusually Quiet through the past events. She was following suit, and hightailing it outta there faster than looked possible for a girl of her stature.
*****
Daniel stopped and turned again. Minotarumon was far away. He put down Tapirmon, a little upset at being held to safety.
"I can run on my own, you know?" Tapirmon grumpily muttered.
"Hey, gotta be careful." Daniel replied.
---
Kaijin looked around. Corsairmon was gone. "Where did the big guy go?" he asked.
---
Corsairmon turned to Kitsune. He growled lightly, but then replaced it with a smile. "Tough..." he opened his hand, and a crest appeared. He then pointed at a window in the Tower.
"That is your crest. Just wave it to that window, and you'll be in a washroom..." He turned around, returning to his Digidestined.
---
Yukio got up and took this chance to look around. He turned to the Tower. What was he doing here?
*****
Kitsune growled equally...She had quite a few words for him imbedded in her mind.
"Bump that...I'm going...to leave A.S.A.P. I hate sobs." she snarled. Merumon laughed and jumped into her arms to play with the crest.
"Don't you have enough jewelry?" Fox asked her Digimon. Merumon grinned.
"Yeeeeaaah..." she replied.
"Okay then I'm just going to put this scrap of plastic or whatever into my pocket, set it and forget it." Fox said and started towards the door. She sure as heck wasn't going to stay with a grouchy old foggie like that. Merumon yawned and snuggled into her arms.
"You shouldn'ta howled." Fox scolded softly. Merumon shrugged.
*****
Corsairmon turned to Kitsune. He could sense anger with her. "Let me tell you something... I know you want someone to love... Well... I have a plan... I want to take over this world, and yours... And once I do that... every boy in the world will be at your command... All I need you to do is come with me and help my plan in action..." He pointed to the Dark Digidestined inside the Tower's
walls.
"You and the others will help me... and after that, your wish will be granted..."
*****
Ishtar ran near Kaijin. "hey, do you think next time we attack we'll need to hide ourselves?" She asked, "the Digidestined are going to
meet us dark Digidestined someday anyways."
Taka-impmon jumped on Ishtar's shoulders.
*****
Kitsune stopped. Merumon was now dozing. At the words of promise from the Digimon, she turned. Her crystal blue eyes flickered for a moment. //Lie...// a voice told her mentally //Lie to him...he knows nothing of you. Do not believe him.// Kitsune's eyes, warmed for a moment by the thought, became cold and icy once more.
"I... need... no one. I don't want boys everywhere. I don't want to be adored. I want true, honest, heart felt love. And I will force no one to love me. I won't help you if that's all you have to offer. I'm up for a bargain though..." she growled. Lying... so good at it. She knew she was. She prided herself on her lies. Deep down, Kitsune was dying to believe this Digimon.
She did want love, and with his offer, she just may find it. But Kitsune only mentally impaled this thought to death. Her icy eyes met his fearlessly.
"You... let me have one boy I want no matter who it is. That's all. Simple, no? And I don't need to listen to some stupid explanation... You tell your others what they need to know. You just tell me what you need when. I don't want to ask questions and I don't want answers. Of course, only if we have a deal. If not, then forget it. I'm not stupid, you know, just sly." she smirked angrily. If he wanted her help, he'd have to change the reward. And if he could read minds, he'd have trouble reading hers. She kept it perfectly blank with her stupidity.
*****
Corsairmon crossed his arms. This one was hard to persuade...
"Very well... you will be able to choose anyone in the world, as long as you follow my command..." Corsairmon stopped. There was another Dark Digidestined arriving.
"There are others like you... except they don't work for me. They are Digidestined... you and my other minions must keep them from going any further from this Tower, or beyond the ocean... If possible, you can eliminate them permanently..." He closed the gates.
"If you wish to stay on your own... very well..." He pointed at her digivice. It instantly changed into another version.
"I will call you with this whenever I will need you..."
---
Daniel sat down, almost fainting. He turned to Tapirmon. "Well...
that was fun..." Daniel said, between deep breaths.
---
Kaijin turned to Ishtar. "It's up to Corsairmon, but personally, I
think we should show ourselves to the other Digidestined..."
****
Daniel finally got his lungs running well again, and decided to
remember what they needed to do. The sun was almost setting.
"Shelter... we need shelter!" he said, almost screaming the words.
"Hey! No need to get excited, Daniel!" Tapirmon said.
"You know anyplace to stay at night here?"
"Not really... no wait... the forest. Not much danger there, and its really shady!"
"So I guess we're going there..."
*****
Shadow walked down the stairs of the tower. After Shadow got
off the stairs he looked around "So whats going on?" Shadow was
followed by his Digimon, Hagurumon. Shadow's eyes were filled with
darkness.
****
Jim and Nikko arrived Shortly after Daniel sat down. "That was some ride." Jim said, grinning still just happy to be around people. Nikko nodded silently. She looked around, then back to Daniel and Jim. "Where is Rikai?" She said, looking serious. Her question was soon answered by the remaining Digidestined slowly making her way up the hill, panting heavily and obviously exhausted. She staggered over to where the others were sitting, and slowly sank to her knees, then feet. To tired to speak, she laid down on the grass, and lightly closed her eyes. Opening them, and sitting up, she looked at her comrades. "It's getting late, isn't it?"
*****
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
A slight groan of protest escaped a sleeping boy's lips as his ears
were bombarded by the beeping sound of his laptop. The laptop turned
itself on, but there was nothing more than a mere blank screen. The
boy turned his back at the laptop, which was currently settled on top
of his desk, then he placed a pillow above his head. He mumbled
something about giving him a few more minutes of sleep.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
There it goes again, but this time, there was a message written on the screen...
/Wake up! I know that you're awake...\
The boy placed the pillow beside him then he turned to face his
laptop. He gasped when he saw the message itself then he shook his
head. He mumbled something about this being a dream but then the
laptop beeped again, making him jump slightly.
/This isn't a dream... this is real... You are seeing this, Arashi...\
Arashi got curious, so he sat upright and then he moved the laptop closer to himself. He thought for a moment then he noticed that he received a new e-mail.
"Eh?" He checked to see what was written...
Arashi, we are in dire need of your services, as the Digital World is in danger. You are our only hope in saving our world and yours. This
is not a hoax. You must press the button below this message.
Everything you need to know will be answered after you do so...
.::***::.
"Okay...this is getting weirder by the minute..." He shrugged ever so slightly and then his hand absentmindedly clicked on the button. "I did not do that I did not do that I did not do that!!!" Arashi
exclaimed then the screen emitted a bright light, forcing the boy to
shield his eyes. The same light engulfed him completely, and the
moment Arashi opened his eyes...he noticed that he was in a whole
different place.
"What the?" Trees, grass, mountains...definitely not his own room. All of a sudden he felt something on his head, he looked up then he saw a black ball-looking creature that has wings on it's sides.
::Nande kuso?! You're my partner...how...interesting...:: The black ball-like creature stated through Arashi's mind, with a hint of
sarcasm in his voice.
"Er...partner?"
::Aiya...Do I really have to explain everything?:: The creature
sighed, ::Just call me...Yeromon...but for now...let's look for the
others::
"The...others??" Arashi asked as he started to walk.
::Geez...it seems that I really have to explain everything. Look,
you're in the Digital World, a world kinda like your own world but
it's made up of Data. This world is filled with different sorts of
Digital Monsters a.k.a. Digimon::
"I'm assuming that you're one of 'em?"
::Correct, Einstein. Now get a move on or else we won't find the
other Digidestined:: Arashi sighed then he did what Yeromon told him
to do. He walked through the forest then he suddenly heard some
voices.
"There's somebody over there..." Arashi mumbled to himself but
Yeromon could still hear it. After a few moments, Arashi spotted some
kids around his age.
::Looks like they're heading for the forest...:: Yeromon stated,
looking at the huddled group of Digidestined.
"Forest?" The red-headed boy shrugged then he quickly made his way towards the group. "Er...Hi..."
*****
Wolfmon landed onto the ground and faced fujitsumon. they stared at each other as if they just swore to each other that they will be rivals and will not stop trying to kill each other.
Fujitsumon looked back, as if communicating with someone else. he nodded, then sprinted toward the bushes where he came from. Wolfmon followed him, but he was nowhere to be seen.
-----
"You were late, fujitsumon." Arthur said as fujitsumon teleported
back at the tower right beside Arthur, "it's not your fault. I was the last dark Digidestined to arrive here anyways."
-----
Collin looked at the others, noticing that no one was fighting,
then to wolfmon, who was by the bushes.
"Wolfmon!" he shouted, "what are you doing over there?"
"Ohhh... nothing... I was following some Digimon, but I couldn't
find it." Gabumon turned to Collin, "There will be more of this... ambush, Collin."
"What do you mean?"
"When my opponent looked back towards the bushes, he made a small nod, then ran away. it was as if they were sent here to attack us, only for us to be warned of what is coming in the future..."
"ohhh..." Collin said, then paused, "let's go to the others. I
think they are having an important conversation."
*****
Daniel called all of the Digidestined together. "Ok Tapirmon
suggested the forest... Jim, is it still close to that river you fished in? If it is, then could you and..." Daniel turned to Piper and pointed at her. "Her go fish?" Daniel turned to the forest. "Rikai, Collin, get some firewood... Me and Nikko can get some fruits to go with the fish! Let's all get back
here in an hour..." he looked to the sun. "That's probably around
sunset! And if you guys get lost, just check our digivices..." Daniel
was surprised, yet glad, to hear himself actually giving orders to
other people. The closest he gave orders was to his old dog, Sparkz.
-----
Kaijin turned to Taira. "So why didn't you come with us?" he asked, a little disappointed.
-----
Yukio finally decided to stop thinking. He turned to everyone. "I
really think we should get some food!" Impmon had said the words he
wanted to say... maybe more.
Yukio sweatdropped.
-----
"But before you leave, I could at least give you some food and meet the other people. After that, you can go on your own." Corsairmon said, sensing the amount of hunger growing within the Dark Digidestined. He snapped his fingers, and the other Digidestined were instantly brought to a large dining room. Although the Tower seemed damp and dirty on the outside, the inside was like a majestic castle.
-----
"The hell! I'm starting to hate this Star Trek teleporting style!"
Kaijin said, but stopped after, seeing what was being given to them.
"Holy s***!" he said, seeing the large table, fancy silverware and
chairs... it reminded him of the English castles...
*****
"Alright." Collin nodded to Daniel's orders, "Rikai, we should go
together. after the attack, who knows what will happen in the forest!
two Digimon are stronger than one."
Collin was worried in general as he began to think that the
territory they were in is watched closely by some evil force. He was
also a bit mad about how Daniel ordered everyone so quickly. "Daniel
probably didn't even know who half of those people were." He began to have some doubts about him, thought he still considered him as a
friend.
-----
"wow... food..." Arthur mumbled as he looked at the big dining
table upon him, "What are we waiting for?!?!? Let's eat!" Arthur ran towards a chair. Fujitsumon sat beside him. They were so hungry, yet they waited for the others to come.
*****
Kitsune shook her head. Merumon yawned at the food. Both of them weren't tasted for these kind of royal-like things.
"You hungry?" Kitsune asked Merumon, in an unusual soft voice. Merumon shook her head.
"Nope. I'm not hungry, Fox. I just wanna go home...And listen to flutey." Merumon said, nuzzling Fox's leg. This wasn't entirely true but she loved herpartner more than anyone, and knew Fox was uncomfortable in the Digital World.
"Well then I'll just wait." the girl said finally, her voice regaining the coldness as she backed against one wall. Merumon leapt into Kitsune's arms and nuzzled in, beginning to doze off. Kitsune, meanwhile, observed the other Dark Digidestined with an almost disgusted look. Oh how despised people. Then Kaijin burst out with his remark and she released a soft growl. He had no manners. She hated cussing, but she had no place to tell anyone anything. Fox herself, was
an unmodest trickster.
*****
Rikai smiled, and followed Collin. "Oh...I'm gonna be so sore
tomorrow..." She said, feeling her legs. "Not cut out for running, that's me. Oh well..." She said, passing Collin, not even thinking about where she was walking.
"Er...Hi."
Rikai looked up to meet the eyes of a red-haired boy, her age, maybe a little older. She was scared at first...hadn't all of the kids
come to the digital world at once? Who was this stranger? She took a step back, and looked nervously up at him. Then she caught sight of his eyes. They were green, like hers, but...she could tell from them that he wasn't someone she had to be scared of. She relaxed, and remembered her manners. "Hi there. Um...I'm Rikai. Who would you be?"
*****
Daniel turned around. There was another person with Rikai. Just by the red hair and the green eyes, Daniel thought it was Rikai's
brother.
"Guys, hold on..." he said. He walked beside Rikai.
"Hey... my name's Daniel..."
-----
Kaijin was amazed by everything. He was starting to like this Dark Digidestined business every second... He took a seat and waited for the others to take a seat. Yukio also took a seat. He smiled. He
turned to Impmon, who jumped onto his seat, waiting for anyone else
to start.
-----
Corsairmon smiled lightly. He had eight Dark Digidestined. He now had the upper hand. He turned to the newest member, Shadow.
"Welcome to the Tower..."
