Gonna do a bit of soul searching to Samantha. Not sure how much yet, but there will be some. And if you have been wondering where I've been getting the inspiration for her attitude from, it's the Rika from the early episodes of Season 03 (mainly pre-Sakuyamon)
After they finished eating, the group heads for where Samantha's Crest Weapon is supposed to be located. Jesse was teaching Daniel various dagger fighting techniques with a stick that he had carved to resemble a dagger since he couldn't even touch the Crest Weapon of Faith. Anyone else was able to touch the Crest Weapon of Faith, but Jesse wasn't able to. No one but Daniel could draw it, but they could touch it. Except for Jesse. And none of them knew why.
Samantha eyed Jesse with pure venom in her eyes as he taught Daniel how to use his Crest Weapon of Faith, the Faith Dagger, in close range combat effectively.
"How did you get so good at these things Jesse?" James asks, "you sure don't look like a fighter to me."
Which was true. Jesse appeared to look like nothing more than a nerd who tried to cultivate what little good looks he had in the worst possible way: by trying to make himself look dashing.
"Well, I just know how to fight," Jesse says simply, "its one thing I have a natural skill for at a basic level."
"Wait a minute," Heromon exclaims, "you mean to say that you, an untrained human, defeated me in a swordfight?"
"That pretty much sums it up," Jesse says, "though I did once go through some formal training. They taught me how to improve my reflexes. The rest I just did myself: I studied various books on older, more honorable forms of swordfight such as kendo and the art of the Spanish swordsmen. I went through the drills nonstop, going over each one again and again until my arms hurt. When I could perform them all flawlessly and without concentrating, I knew I had them."
"What about the physical ability?" James asks, "some of the moves you pulled off shouldn't have been humanly possible."
"Well, the air of the Digital world appears to have an invigorating effect on me," Jesse says.
"How so?" Brian asks.
"Well, back in our world I am fairly weak," Jesse explains, "I have extremely poor endurance, so I work on making it appear like I'm an all or nothing person when it comes to physical activities: if I don't complete it soon, I usually don't complete it. When I would play on a sports team, I would play a position that didn't require a lot of stamina, such as the catcher in a baseball game or the goalie in a soccer game. I was real good as a soccer goalie."
"You mean to say that in our world you are what you appear to be: a wimp and a nerd?" Samantha asks scornfully.
Daniel winces at his sisters usual lack of tact. Jesse just stares her in the eye, meeting her gaze, matching the venom portrayed in her eyes with total calmness.
"Yes, I am pretty much a wimp back in our world," Jesse says, his tone even, "though as for being a nerd, I am not. I am not incredibly smart to make up for my relative inability to play sports, nor am I incredibly knowledgeable in any area that most people find unattractive."
"In other words, except for your ability to cook and fight here in the Digital World, your useless," Samantha says, "you can't even lead us. You let Brian make the decisions about what we do, you let James do all of the thinking, and you can't even touch my brother's Crest Weapon when the rest of us are able to touch it."
"Hey, none of us here are useless," Brian says, jumping into the argument, "we all have our skills. None of the rest of us can cook and Jesse appears to be able to make decisions that we are unable to make. Perhaps that's why he's here with us: to be a guiding light, but not to lead."
"She's right though," Jesse says bluntly, "I am not a good leader. I hate being put in charge of others for extended periods of time because it puts so much pressure on me. I let Brian make the decisions because his heart is in the right place and he has all of the other necessary qualities to be a good leader. I let James do the thinking because he waits until he gets as much of the facts as he can, analyzes them, and then chooses what to do. And as for not being able to touch Daniel's Crest Weapon, maybe I can't touch it because I already have a Crest Weapon."
Samantha snorts and engages in a glaring contest with Jesse.
"Guys, this really isn't a good time for this," Pixiemon says from above them.
"Let them go at it," James says calmly, "Samantha has been a pain lately and maybe Jesse can straighten her out."
After a few minutes of glaring at Jesse, Samantha decides to stop and get on with the journey.
As they walk to the general area of where he Crest Weapon was supposed to be, Samantha begins to try and figure out the meaning of the Crests and Crest Weapons. They were named after attributes and virtues that people were supposed to have. Maybe possessing the characteristic would activate the power of a Crest or a Crest Weapon. She was supposed to have the Crest of Spirit, and she guessed that could describe her. Her parents had always said she was a spirited girl. But she was also supposed to have the Crest Weapon of Compassion. She didn't even know the real meaning of compassion.
Biyomon, seeing her partner's distress, asks her what is wrong. "Are you okay Samantha?" she asks.
"Biyomon, what is the meaning of compassion?" Samantha asks, her voice dull.
"It means to be sympathetic of other peoples and Digimon's feelings," Biyomon replies, "how can you not know that Samantha?"
"I don't know," Samantha says, "I guess no one ever showed me any real compassion. My parents sent me and my brother away without asking how we felt about it. Not one of my relatives ever asked me how I felt abut it. They never even looked at me when I was looking at them."
"That's so sad," Biyomon says, "Digimon do not have families. We have friends."
"You're lucky," Samantha mutters.
As the group searches for Samantha's Crest Weapon, Biyomon thinks to herself.
'Samantha shouldn't doubt herself,' she thinks, 'Seraphimon said she was destined to wield the Crest Weapon of Compassion, and he should know. He is the wisest of all Digimon. If he says that Samantha should have a weapon fueled by compassion, then she has enough compassion to fuel it. But she just has to realize it first for the weapon to work..'
Jesse and Heromon stay away slightly from the other DigiDestined as they search. The two had stayed away from the others as much as possible without seeming rude since they had returned.
"They still have no idea what they are up against," Heromon remarks as he watches Daniel and Tapirmon play.
"We don't exactly know what we are up against either, but we have a much better idea than they do," Jesse replies as he checks a stone column.
"True, but do you think we should tell them?" Heromon asks.
"Tell them of our experience in the Dark Ocean?" Jesse replies, "I think not. It would scare them witless. They would think our mission is doomed here and now. We must carry on with the Hope that we can win."
"Daniel is the key to victory, I believe," Heromon says as he watches Daniel intently.
"So young, so carefree, so full of life and energy," Jesse murmurs as he too watches Daniel.
"The power of his Crest and Crest Weapon will likely be our most powerful weapons against the Beast of Darkness," Heromon says.
"But without everyone's Crest and Crest Weapon in full use, it won't even matter," Jesse says. He pushes a small boulder away from a small building.
"I think I found it!" he calls out to the others.
A the rest of the group rush to Jesse and Heromon's location, Samantha just glares at Jesse from where she was standing. Why did he have to be the one to find it? Shouldn't it be her, since it was her Crest Weapon? Angry, she jogs over to see what their oldest member had found.
"I feel a power eminating from this place," Magimon says, "it is very strong. It feels somewhat similar to the power of Jesse and Daniel's Crest Weapons."
"Is it my Crest Weapon?" Samantha asks.
"Possibly," Magimon replies, "but I can't tell. My abilities are limited when I'm in my Rookie form."
"Well, lets go in and see what is in there," Samantha huffs. She takes a step towards the door of the building.
Jesse takes in a sharp breath. He had felt a powerful forece field that would block anyone trying to get in.
Samantha just walks right on in. The others looked at Jesse curiously, wondering why he had been acting odd just then.
"I thought there would be something stopping us from going in," he explains, "but I guess I was wrong."
He begins to follow Samantha, but walks straight into the force field that hadn't stopped Samantha. Stepping back for a moment, Jesse glares at the seemingly empty space before him.
"Appears you were wrong about being wrong," Biyomon remarks.
"Indeed he was!" a very loud voice behind and above them bellows.
The DigiDestined look behind them to see a large Digimon that resembled a parrot.
"It's Parrotmon!" Biyomon shrieks, "an Ultimate level Bird Digimon that can fly exceedingly fast. His Sonic Destroyer is very destructive."
"Indeed it is," Parrotmon chortles before unleashing his attack, "Sonic Destroyer!"
Powerful winds come hurtling towards the DigiDestined.
"Magimon digivolve to Wizardmon!"
"Heromon digivolve to Warriormon!"
"Tapirmon digivolve to Apemon!"
"Eggmon digivolve to Tamamon!"
"Blazing Syndrome!" Tamamon's attack collides with Parrotmon's, but is overpowered. Human and Digimon alike hit the ground to avoid being hit by the attack.
"It's gonna take all of us to hold him off," Pixiemon says, "if Samantha can get back here with her Crest Weapon and get Biyomon to digivolve to Ultimate, then we can defeat him."
"What about Mammothmon?" Daniel asks.
"Get Apemon to digivolve right now!" Jesse bellows, "we need all the help we can get here!" Daniel's Crest begins to glow.
"Apemon digivolve to Mammothmon!" Apemon calls out.
The moment the light of digivolution fades, Mammothmon launches his Tusk Crusher attack at Parrotmon. The tusk missiles hit Parrotmon's chest, but only slightly inconvenienced him.
"Sonic Destroyer!" Parrotmon calls out, unleashing the gale force winds at the Digimon.
Meanwhile, Samantha was walking through the building towards a pulsating yellow light. As she walks on, the light gets brighter. She eventually comes to a room with a pedastal in the center. The light seems to be eminating from an object resting on the pedastal. Samantha cautiously walks up to the pedastal. When she steps up to the pedastal, she sees what is giving off the light.
It is a shield. The shield is silver, and is circular in shape. It has a gold edge, and a golden circle surrounding a design. The design is of a triangle with a heart inside. The design is yellow, and is what is giving off the light.
"It's beautiful," Samantha whispers. She reaches for the shield. The moment she touches the shield, the light fades, and the room is bathed in darkness. Samantha looks around, her hands still on the shield.
"What's going on?" she asks. She tries to lift the shield. It doesn't budge. This upsets Samantha.
"This is my Crest Weapon!" she says forcefully, "I should be able to lift it and use it!"
The Crest on the Crest Weapon shines and an image forms in front of Samantha. She could see her parents. They were sending her to her aunt and uncle in America. They knew that she and her brother weren't adjusting well to living in England, but they couldn't move because of their jobs. So they were sending them to family so they could be happy.
Samantha just watches the scene play befor eher. Her parents didn't want to send her and her brother away, but they wanted them to be happy. A tear slides down Samantha's cheek. That was what they were feeling? Sadness? They had put on such happy faces when they left. Samantha had thought that they wanted them away. So they could be alone without having to worry about two brats. No, one brat and a little angel. Daniel was always so perfect. He had cried for a month when they were sent to America., but he eventually got over it and made some friends. But Samantha had just stayed away from others. She emotionally hardened herself, not letting anything get through to her. The only weak spot in it all was that she cared deeply for and watched over her brother.
Tears are now flowing freely from Samantha's eyes as she watches the scene fade.
"So that's what compassion is," she murmurs, "my parents did care for me. They wanted me and Daniel to be happy, even if it meant sending us away."
At that moment, the Crest on the Crest Weapon of Compassion flares up and lights up the entire room. Samantha lifts the Crest Weapon of Compassion and fits it on her left arm.
"Now its time for me to go back and show the others my Crest Weapon," she says with a grin. She jogs out of the building.
When she exits the building, she sees the battle going on. She runs up beside Daniel, putting the shield between the tow of them and any possible harm.
"Sis, is that your Crest Weapon?" Daniel asks.
"Yes it is bro," Samantha says, "now its time for Biyomon to digivolve to help." Her digivice begins to glow.
"Biyomon digivolve to Birdramon!" Biyomon calls out. Birdramon takes ot the sky, flrying higher than Parrotmon.
"Meteor Wing!" She calls out, sending the fireballs at Parrotmon.
"Sonic Destroyer!" Parrotmon calls out, overwhelming Birdramon's attack and hitting Birdramon. Birdramon falls out of the sky and hits the ground.
"Birdramon!" Samantha calls out, fearing for her partner's life. Birdramon struggles to get up.
"Birdramon," Samantha says softly. The Crest on the Crest Weapon of Compasion begins to glow. A yellow light shoots out of the Crest Weapon and hits Birdramon.
"Birdramon digivolve to…." Birdramon says, as light and flames begin to surround her. The flames disappear and the mighty Garudamon is in her place.
"Garudamon!" Garudamon finishes.
"Garudamon is the ruler of the skies," Pixiemon comments, "she soars over everything and uses her Wing Blade attack to destroy evildoers. Her power is legendary."
"Wing Blade!" Garudamon calls out, fire surrounding and and being launched at Parrotmon in the form of a firebird. Parrotmon counters with his Sonic Destroyer.The attacks collide with one another and explode.
Garudamon moves in closer and begins a grappling contest with Parrotmon. The two mighty Ultimate level Digimon struggle against each othe, neither one giving the other any quarter.
Mammothmon looks like he is about to join in the battle, but Warriormon stops him.
"This is Garudamon's battle now," he says, "it would be dishonorable to interfere. Don't worry, she can take care of herself."
"Garudamon hits Parrotmon with her Eagle Claw attack, grabs Parrotmon's right forearm, and uses a judo throw to send Parrotmon over her shoulder. Parrotmon lands in a heap on the ground.
"Wing Blade!" Garudamon call sout, sending the attack at Parrotmon once again.
Suddenly, the sky darkens. A completely maleveolent voice fills the sky.
"Parrotmon, you are a disgrace!" the voice says in a bone chilling tone, "you are no match for these DigiDestined. I shall now send you to their world to wreak havoc."
A lightning bolt hits Parrotmon and he disappears.
"What happened to him?" Samantha demands. All of the Digimon de-digivolve to their Rookie forms, except for Wizardmon who stays as he is and Garudamon who de-digivolves all the way back to Yokomon.
Yokomon runs up to Samantha and leaps into her arms.
"You did I!" she chirps, "you found compassion within your heart and it enabled me to digivolve!" She nuzzles Samantha.
"It was nothing," Samantha says coolly.
"Nice job, Samantha," Jesse says, sheathing the Crest Weapon of Honor, "a very nice job."
Samantha just shrugs the comment away.
"But that voice says he sent Parrotmon to our world," James says, completely scared from hearing that voice, "what are we to do?"
"Don't worry," Pixiemon says, "I'm sure the people of your world will be able to defend themselves against Parrotmon."
"I sure hope so," Brian says, "otherwise, we'll be going home to a wasteland."
So, what do you think? Probably not my best chapter, but good. It took me an unbelievable amount of time to write the part where Samantha finds compassion within her. Well, please review. Any e-mail comments can be sent to Plata12@aol.com
