Dark-Angel: Yo peeps! I'm back for my second chapter of Unauthorised
Authority. Sorry if anyone wanted more romance, but I need the story to
develop before I can get into it. If Rika seems a little OOC, please
forgive me, but I need her to be a little vulnerable for the story to work.
Thanx all those who reviewed!
And if anyone wanted or didn't know, a Kitsune is the word the Japanese use for fox.
BTW, the song in the last chapter was "Eventually" by Pink, if anyone wanted to know.
Ok, on with the chapter!
Disclaimer: You know what I'm gonna say so I'm not going to say it. It's depressing. If I did own Digimon I would do a lot with it..*sigh* But enough with my twisted fantasies! Please note that I own some of the characters in this story, but anyone is welcome to use them if they want.
Enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 2
The Beginning Of The Ascension
~~~
"Where am I?" Rika asked groggily as she tried to make out her surroundings. She sat up, and, after a while, she managed to figure out that she was lying in a cold, isolated bed, in a lonely room, the only light a lantern that was only just burning, and a weak stream of light where, she guessed was a door. On instinct, she lifted her hand and touched her temple. She braced herself for the pain, but nothing came. When she touched harder, she could roughly feel the scar where the sharp object had hit her. She traced along the faint line with her fingers.
Rika let out an involuntary sigh of relief when she felt almost normal. When she looked down to get a better look at the bed she was lying in, she gasped aloud, for she was no longer wearing her normal clothes. She was dressed in a beautiful black robe, tied at the waist by a red cloth. 'What happened, and why am I dressed like this?' As Rika was thinking to herself, she looked around the room. The walls and the floor were black ceramic tiles, but as she looked at the ceiling, she could see a faint outline of a silver kitsune. She was surprised that she was able to see far better than she usually was. In fact, it was almost as if her eyesight had increased three times it's normal vision.
"That's freaky." Rika muttered to herself, clearly irritated and confused by this newfound ability. When she looked at her right hand, she contracted it a couple of times. She could feel a strange power inside of it, like something was about to be released from the centre of the palm.
When she heard a weak noise from the door, she froze. She could hear the door handle being turned. No, she couldn't just hear it, she could feel it somehow. As the door was being slowly opened, she could feel the presence of a dark figure enter the room. A blast of light streamed into the room, almost blinding Rika.
When she was finally able to see again, she realised that a beautiful, white, fox-like creature was standing beside her. On impulse, Rika jumped back, almost falling off the bed in the process. The creature was wearing a robe identical to Rika's, except where Rika wore a red cloth around her waist; this Kitsune wore a light purple one.
"Greetings, Child," the creature spoke gracefully, taking in a good look at Rika. "I am called Byakkomon. I was once a faithful servant to the powerful Inarimon, bringer of truth and justice. I then became a slave to the evil Bakemonomon, bringer of death and destruction, when I was caught delivering a message to the Digimon Sovereign. I have been a slave ever since."
Rika studied Byakkomon very carefully, and then came to the conclusion that she was the one that had dressed her in the robe.
"Where are my clothes?" Rika demanded, then another thought registered in her mind. "And my D-Power and Modify Cards?"
Byakkomon sighed. "Young Kitsune, we will have to work on your patience."
"What do you mean, 'Young Kitsune'? I am nothing like you!" Rika retorted rudely.
"Take a look at yourself, Child. You are now ascending into a powerful being. Still human, but above all of your kind," Byakkomon whispered gently.
"So I have been told, but why me. Why must I ascend into.whatever I will ascend into?" Rika had confused herself even more after saying this.
"Bakemonomon has been keeping an eye on you for a while now. Ever since you were around the age of four, he's been watching you. He watched you suffer, he watched you in your times of glory, he even watched you when you and the other Tamers came here a year ago." Byakkomon looked straight into Rika's eyes, as if searching for something.
'So we're in the Digital World.' Rika thought to herself.
"Yes, we are."
Rika was startled when she heard these words. "You can read my mind?"
"Of course. It is one of our many talents. You will be able to as well, when you have controlled your powers."
Rika sighed when she was reminded of her powers once more.
~~~ The Real World~~~
"Oh, Mother. Rika's been in her room for hours, and she hasn't even come out for dinner. She never misses dinner, even when she's asleep." Rumiko stared at the clock, which read 10:30pm. 'Five hours..'
"Honestly, Rumiko. You worry way too much. She's probably just very tied. Go sit down and relax." Seiko was always the one to calm someone down when they were just stressed out. But is this just stress, or natural intuition?
~~~ The Digital World ~~~
"Ah, so the young Kitsune finally awakes!" The same deep, harsh voice that spoke to Rika before was heard from the door. It sounded very pleased.
Immediately, Byakkomon kneeled down and bowed before the silhouette standing in front of the door. "Welcome, Bakemonomon. The young one is awake."
"Good work, Byakkomon. You may leave now." Bakemonomon demanded his 'servant' harshly.
"Yes, Master." Byakkomon bowed again, and then vanished into thin air, very much the same as Renamon sometimes did.
As the dark figure, whom Rika now knew as Bakemonomon, came closer, Rika found herself staring at a black Renamon, with nine tails sprouting at from his back, but where Renamon had light purple markings, this Digimon had blood red markings. Then Rika was reminded of what he had said before, about her seeing Renamon again.
"Where's Renamon?" Rika demanded, despite the dangerous situation she was in.
Bakemonomon laughed bitterly out loud. "Even though you have ascended way past that pathetic creature, you still think of her? Funny, maybe I misjudged you. I didn't think that you were this loyal," Bakemonomon raised what looked like a red eyebrow at the girl, who had now surpassed her own partner, whom she regarded as her equal.
"I do not consider myself stronger than Renamon, despite what you have said," Rika herself raised an eyebrow, telling Bakemonomon that she wasn't going to budge from this subject. Bakemonomon just shrugged. "You are your own person, I cannot change that." 'Or can I?' He added evilly in his mind.
"I don't understand you. First you say that whatever I say or do, you will change my perception on my life, then you say that I have a right to do what I want with it. You really confuse me, Bakemonomon," Rika retorted with a hint of sarcasm present in her voice.
"You will call me-" Before Bakemonomon could say anymore, Rika spoke, confidence and pride finally taking over.
"I think not, Bakemonomon. See, where you might have the power, I have the self-righteousness. I can make my own decisions. And I will not call someone as evil and as ignorant as you my Master."
*Fall back take a look at me and you'll see
I'm for real I'll feel what only I can feel
And if that don't appeal to ya let me know
And I'll go 'cause I flow better when my colors show
And that's the way it has to be honestly
'Cause creativity could never bloom in my room
I'd throw it all away before I'd lie so don't call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone I got a backbone stronger than yours
If you're trying to turn me into someone else it's easy to see
I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down.go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Don't think you know me like yourself
But I hear that you're only telling me
What I wanna hear but do you give a damn
Understand that I can't not be what I am
I'm not the milk and Cheerio's in your spoon
It's not a simple here we go not so soon
I might have fallen for that when I was 14
And a little more green
But it's amazing what a couple of years can mean
If you're trying to turn me into someone else it's easy to see
I'm down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over it
I'm not nobody's fool
Go ahead and try
Try to look me in the eye
Go ahead and try
Try to look me in the eye
But you'll never see inside
Until you realise
Things are trying to settle down
Just trying to figure out
Exactly what I'm about
If it's with or without you
I don't need your doubt in me*
Dark-Angel: There we go. Finished my second chappie. Sorry for not having any Ryo in it. I needed Rika to discover her powers first, but I promise the next chapter will have more in it. Maybe..
The song was "Nobody's Fool" by Avril Lavigne. Hehe..she's one of my favourite artists out there, despite some certain rumours..
Ok, if anyone's reading this, please review! I'll give you a chocolate cookie if you do! ^_^
Thanx all those who reviewed!
