SUKI'S SAGA CH. 4:
THE SPIRIT OF FRIENDSHIP
DISCLAIMER:
I DON'T OWN Digimon!!!!
It was late at night. After eating, Everyone was tired and didn't feel like continuing the party, so Davis said that they could spend the night at his house. *He was especially happy when Kari said she might as well stay overnight so they could go to the Digiworld first thing the next morning.* But not everyone was sleeping. A certain cute blond crept past sleeping bags, Digimon, and a snoring Davis. He stopped by his OLDER self.
I don't see how I could sleep through that snoring! Thought Matt.
He took Izzy's laptop into the kitchen so he wouldn't wake anybody up. He opened the Laptop and was just about to see if he could get through himself when he heard a voice.
"Matt? What are you doing?" It was the YOUNGER T.K., rubbing his eyes.
"Yes Matt, please tell us what you're doing up this late." Gabumon appeared from behind T.K.
"Uh, I was just, um, ahh…getting a glass of water!" Matt fidgeted.
"Okay. I was just wondering. G'night." T.K. walked out of the room.
"Next time, Matt, tell me before sneaking off to the Digiworld." Gabumon started to leave, then added, "You wouldn't have gotten through with just that Digivice anyway." Matt sighed and went to bed.
The next morning……
"Okay, let's go! DIGIPORT OPEN!!!" Cried Yolei. They were sucked into the Digiworld. They landed in a small, dark room.
"Where are we now?" Asked Tai. He was answered with a cruel laugh.
"MUAHAHA! Poor little Digi-destined, with no clue where they are!"
Ken stepped back in horror. "It- it's me!"
"Oooh, you're slick. You never realized your potential in your own time, So I'm realizing it for you now!" It was the YOUNGER Ken, dressed as the Digimon Emperor.
"Don't forget me. You wouldn't be here if it weren't for me!" Arukenimon stepped out, Mummymon following behind her. *If you can call that spider a her!*
"You must have created BlackMetalGarurumon!" Said the older Matt.
"Oooh, you're all sooooo smart! Yes, we created BlackMetalGarurumon, you twerps! I could destroy you right here and now, but I think I'll have a little fun first! MUAHAHA!!!" The Digimon emperor laughed. When raised his arms, Digi-destined and Digimon alike went spinning in different directions, off into the darkness, and the echo of his laughter.
******************************
"Matt! Matt, are you okay? Wake up!" the YOUNGER Matt heard Gabumon's frantic voice, and felt his shoulder be shaken. He opened his eyes.
"Where are we?" Asked Matt. He looked around, only seeing snow and some mountains in the distance.
"I don't know."
"I guess we should have a look around."
"Good idea." They walked for a long, long time. Matt needed a break, so he sat in the snow.
"OW!" he jumped up in surprise. Something in the snow was glowing and giving off sparks. Matt had moved the snow off it when he accidentally sat on it.
"Suki's choker!"
"Yes, but why is it glowing?"
Matt thought about this for a minute. Then he realized why.
"Gabumon! Do you remember what we saw that other time we went looking for Suki?"
"Hmm, let me think…. Yes I do!"
"Do you know what it was?"
"Yes. It was a spirit."
"A what?"
"A spirit. I don't know much about them, but they're supposed to have immense power and are thought to represent certain things."
"What kind of things?"
"I don't know. It's only folklore."
"Then let's find out." Matt reached down to pick the spirit up, when all the separate spikes began to emit beams of light, all topped with another spirit. The beams shot out in different directions, when one hit Matt's crest. It glowed and emitted a small beam to his Digivice. Then it all stopped. The choker stopped glowing. He picked it up.
"What was that about?" He said.
"Beats me." Then, not too far from where they were standing, they heard several loud explosions around a few lone trees.
"Speaking of beating, someone's getting pounded!" They ran over. What they saw was devastating. Snow stained red from blood. Craters everywhere. A small, injured, black Digimon sitting next to someone lying on the ground. As Matt ran closer, he saw that the person was Suki.
"Who are you and what happened here?" asked Gabumon.
The little black Digimon turned to him. She looked like a Botamon, only it had the shape of a Digivice in gold on its' forehead, stained red from blood.
"I'm Furrmon, and I'm the fresh form of Bomon." *Fresh is what comes before in-training, in case you don't know.*
"Then how come you can talk?"
"I dunno, that's just how I am. And right now, I think we should be more worried about Suki than why I can talk." Suki was lying in the snow, unconscious. She was bruised and battered.
"What happened here?!" Demanded Matt, frightening the Furrmon.
"Matt, there's no reason to scare Furrmon!" lectured Gabumon.
"It's okay, he's just anxious. Before I tell you what happened, let's get to a safer place. There's a cave not far from here, I'll show you the way." Said Furrmon, regaining her wits. " Uh, Matt, can you carry Suki for me? I would, but I don't have arms." *Furrmon sweatdrops* Matt picked up Suki and carried her to the cave. They built a fire and sat down so Furrmon could tell her story.
Furrmon began. "I don't know how it started, but when I found Suki, she was running from 3 Frigemmon, 4 Mojyamon, 1 Unimon, and 2 Digitamamon, all under the control of the dark rings and spirals. We Digivolved and fought side by side, but she was low on energy and got knocked out early. I continued to fight, defeating the rest. Funny though, as soon as I got the Dark ring or spiral off, the Digimon disappeared. I de-Digivolved and went over to Suki, and that's about when you two came."
I still can't believe that WereRyohkomon is Suki…… Thought Matt.
"Uhhhhhn… what the… where am I?" Suki woke up.
"You're finally awake!" cried Furrmon. She was so happy, she Digivolved!
Ruffmon looked like Koromon, only it was white with rosy cheeks. It had big eyes, a cute little black nose and it still had the gold Digivice shape on its' forehead.
Suki smiled. "Ruffmon, Gabumon, Matt!"
"How are you feeling?" asked Ruffmon.
"I've felt better."
Matt took Suki's choker out of his pocket. "I think this belongs to you." He said and handed it to her.
"Thanks! Say, did anything happen when you found it? Anything strange?"
"Well, now that you mention it, that thing on your choker did do something kind of weird. It shot little beams of light out from the spikes that went flying everywhere. One beam hit my crest, which emitted another one to my Digivice. Strange, huh?"
"It's not only strange, it's essential. Those little beams of light will be sent to anyone else with a crest. Then, that person's Digimon will be able to Spirit Digivolve. Now we'll have more power!"
After a few days of resting, Suki felt well enough to start searching for the others. While they were walking, Matt asked what had happened while the rest were at Davis' house.
"Well, after Arukenimon and Mummymon took me back to the Digiworld, they just drove around and wondered what to do with 'the angry cat'. Mummymon refused to go near me, but so did Arukenimon. So, the nitwits just brought me to 'the Digimon emperor' and he thought he'd have some 'fun' with me. He put me in a completely sealed room, except for a glass window so he could watch. Then he sent Digimon after Digimon on me to test how strong I was. After a while, I used my opponent's brute force to shatter the window so I could attack 'the Digimon emperor'. He sent a bunch of other Digimon on me, so I had to run for it." She stopped.
"What's wrong?" Asked Matt.
"My Digivice says that someone's over there. Check yours, too." Matt checked his Digivice and found that his had a reading on it too, only in a different direction.
"I guess we'll have to go separate ways."
"I'll meet you over by the end of that mountain. Okay?"
"Okay." They continued on. Soon, Matt and Gabumon came upon several powerful Digimon, under the Digimon emperor's control!
A red Dragon with scars, yellow stripes, powerful wings, crooked horns pointed straight at them, a flame-tipped tail, spikes and plates all down it's back, and A DARK SPIRAL spoke to them.
"I am an ultimate, FlameScarmon. I knock my enemies out of the sky with my Sky Scraper, then turn them to charcoal with my Fire Hazard!"
"Beware! I am a champion, Metapomon. My Lion Spike attack will deflate all hopes of winning!" Called a golden lion, protected by golden armor on its' back and underbelly. It had sharp teeth, Spikes all down its' back and tail, and a spiked mane.
"Should I, Matt?" asked Gabumon.
"Let's do it!"
GARURUMON, DIGIVOLVE TO: WEREGARURUMON!!!!
"Yeah! Go WereGarurumon!" Cheered Matt. WereGarurumon started taking down Metapomon after Metapomon that jumped at him. Then he fought his way to the FlameScarmon. One FlameScarmon would be a match, but several are way too much.
FIRE HAZARD!!! Flames licked WereGarurumon's body as he was slammed to the ground by several on-fire dragons. A Tsunomon is what bounced back to Matt. Tsunomon Digivolved to fight again.
Gabumon ran toward the FlameScarmon, only getting knocked back harder. Gabumon tried to get up so he could Digivolve, but as hard as he tried, couldn't.
"Gabumon!" Matt yelled. He saw one of the FlameScarmon rushing toward the Digimon. Matt did the first thing that came to mind. He ran in front of Gabumon and yelled.
"DON'T YOU HURT MY FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Just then it happened. Matt's crest started to glow and shake along with his Digivice. Matt gasped as a blue Spirit emerged from his crest and floated right in front of him.
"Matt…" Gabumon struggled to get up and talk. " That's a spirit….. you have to.. use it… make me Digivolve."
"Gabumon…"
"Do it… now. Say… 'Digi-Spirit…. Power up'."
"But –"
"Now."
Matt looked to his partner, on the ground and trying to get up.
He's trying to protect me, even if it costs him his life. I can at least give him a chance! As Matt thought, He raised his arms to the Spirit and called out as Gabumon had instructed.
"DIGI-SPIRIT POWER UP!!!!!!"
WiseningGarurumon was on two feet and covered in metal all over his body, except for half his face, his elbows, and part of an ear. Even the claws were metal! On the metal side of his face, his eye was completely dark blue and in a fixed glare. He had three blue stripes on the non-metal side of his face. One part of his tail was razor bladed. His neck was covered in silver, with the shape of a Digivice etched into it.
"WiseningGarurumon?" Whispered Matt, too shocked too do anything else. WiseningGarurumon began to attack immediately.
WISENING STRIKE!!!!! Blow after blow came upon the now overpowered FlameScarmon.
FIRE HAZARD!!!!!
METAL BLASTER!!!!!
SKY SCRAPER!!!!! As WiseningGarurumon rushed in to attack, the Sky Scraper hit and scarred the eye on the non-metal side of his face. He howled and Struck with great force, deleting the Digimon.
He stood up and spoke calmly. "No more Mr. Nice Wolf."
WISENING STRIKE!!!!
METAL BLASTER!!!!
WISENING STRIKE!!!!
METAL BLASTER!!!! WiseningGarurumon fought without mercy, switching attacks throughout the battle. He didn't need to destroy them, all he had to do was get the rings off and they'd delete themselves! Finally he finished, returned to Tsunomon and hopped over to Matt.
"How was that?" asked Tsunomon.
"You fought great, but did you have to destroy those Digimon?" Replied Matt, picking up his partner.
"I couldn't help it. As soon as I got those rings and spirals off them, they deleted."
"Just like Furrmon said…" Matt thought about what the fresh Digimon had said.
*Flashback* "Funny though, as soon as I got the Dark ring or spiral off, the Digimon disappeared." *Flashback over*
"Hmm. It is something to ponder. But first, let's go find the others." Said Tsunomon. Tsunomon jumped from Matt's arms.
"Hey, what's that?" asked Matt. Something had materialized around Gabumon's neck. It was a gold collar, Just like Bo's!
"I don't know. Maybe that's to show that a Digimon can Spirit Digivolve." Said Gabumon, fingering the Digivice shape hanging off it. Suddenly, the Crest of Friendship appeared on a key chain in Matt's pocket. He fished it out.
"So, if you get that collar for being able to Spirit Digivolve, then I must get this key chain to signify what kind of spirit it is!" Said Matt.
"Your guess is as good as mine. Now let's go!" Said Gabumon. They moved on.
