Yay! Chapter six!

We've a mystery guest here! And it's a digimon, too. Its name is…uh…I forgot.

For my Hero, Have I Loved Thee?

By The Dragon of Courage

Book of Angels: A Peek in the Prophesy – My Secret Revealed

            "Is he okay?" Davis asked as Joe, an older digidestined, examined his long, lost, and unconscious partner.

            "A few cuts and bruises, a fractured leg, and passing out cold. It could have been worse if it weren't for Stingmon's, Sylphymon's, Shakkoumon's, MetalGururumon's and Wargreymon's help to defeat that mega. I wonder why would anybody attack us? Also, why won't Flamedramon use his head and do not fight him until help arrives? And also, how did he come back?"

            "Whoa, whoa, Joe, calm down. I'm happy that he is here, so let me be with him until he wakes up," said Davis.

            "But, I do wonder, how did he come back if Elecmon didn't told me that he saw Veemon's egg? That's the mystery," wondered Tai while he put his arms behind his back and leaning against the wall.

            "Well, I think I know the answer," Ken replied as he search the cave. The digidestined stared at him, "What do you mean?"

            He held out the book that Flamedramon was trying to read and T.K. piped up, "Hey! My crest is on there!"

            Tai and Joe looked at it and exclaimed, "So does mine!"

            Yolei asked, "What was the gold swirly thing?"

            Davis took the book away from Ken and peered at it, "Hmm, I saw it before in America. I believe that this crest came from Willis' digi-egg of Fate. I wonder what inside. What the-?"

            He then felt a bit dizzy on seeing unusual squiggly and straight lines all bunched up together, so he sat down. Wormon peeked over his side and said, "Hey! That prophecy is in digicode!"

            Davis, still recovering from the dizziness, asked, "In digicode, can you translate it?"

            "Of course I can! Every digimon can! Including the blind ones!"

            "Okay, then, what does the first page say?" Wormon grabbed the book from him and put it on Flamedramon's flat table.

            "Will the fires of courage have the responsibility of hope and fate?"

            "Ookay, what's the one down on the bottom of the page?" asked Tai in interest. Almost all of the digidestined were listening.

            "The Book of Angels and…oh, I see."

            "What's next?" asked T.K. the insect digimon closed it shut. Ken said:

            "Wormon, why did you do that?"

            Wormon just stood up and walked to his DNA buddy. He pointed at him with his tiny claw, "I couldn't read the rest until he wakes up. The words on the bottom meant that it is only for the one who is holding the book. He held the book, not me, so when he wakes up, he's gonna have a hard explanation of the book. I flipped through the pages, and there's no writing at all, just weird pictures. I'm going to stay here until he wakes. Maybe he might wake up tomorrow, but Veemon's my buddy and I won't come home yet Ken, so who's with me?"

            Silence. Wormon looked at everyone, "Who is going to help me take care of him?"

            At last WarGreymon, who was snoozing for a while, raised his claw. "He is my friend, too. So, I'll help him."

            MetalGururumon looked at him and said, "I need to go back to my territory to see anything about angels.

            Gatomon raised her paw shakily and said, "I'll do it, since it's my fault that he's like this."

            Patamon piped up, "I'll do it!"

            "But, some of us needs to get home, it's sunset," worried Kari. T.K. soothed her, "Maybe the digimon could stay here. Flamedramon's cave is sure nice and cozy compare to other caves we've been in, so you guys wait for him to wake up. But does anyone know where Fladra lives? His parents might be worried about him."

            Cody answered, "I think I know because he exited at the Shizuoka train station, so I have a pretty good clue where he lives."

            "Okay, Cody and I will check out Fladra's residence. Everyone, it is time to go home," Davis declared and walked out of the cave. Next thing they knew, the digidestined heard a trip, roll, and a thud. A voice cried out, "Guys? I've fallen into an unusual big ditch and can't get up!"

            Tai and his gang burst out laughing as Joe attempted to pull him out of the deep trench.

*~*~*~Night time~*~*~*~

            "AUGH! I'm sleepy. When is the watching over?" Patamon yawned. His ears began to droop.

            "Heh. Me too, I'm exhausted," Agumon yawned, too. He then eyed Gatomon. She just sat there, next to Flamedramon, muttering about something. The orange dinosaur walked over to her and sat down. He asked her in anxiety, "Are you okay?"

            She didn't listen, but kept muttering something that was perceptible, "I'm so sorry, Veemon, it's my fault. I'm so sorry, Veemon, it's my fault…"

            Agumon waved a claw at her face, "Hello? Gatomon?"

            She still wasn't improving the attitude, so he yelled in her ear, "IS ANYONE IN THERE?!"

            The white cat snapped and shook her head because she swore she was beginning to become deaf. Gatomon shivered as wind flew in the cave and the fire they created blew out. The cave was totally dark, but moonlight streamed though the entrance and the hole in the roof. The digimon could barely see themselves, so Agumon couldn't find his way to the extinguished fire. The tunnel grew dark as he reached around in the dark and bumped into something.

            "Ow," he muttered as he looked up. His eyes widen as a dark form approached the cave entrance. Its eyes glowed a yellow color and it squinted at him. Agumon bravely asked him, "Want do you want?!"

            The figure just looked at him and the area surrounding it. Gatomon also approached it. Then as it raised its silvery claw, a small ball of fire was lit from it and then flung at the place where the light has been put out. The fire rekindled itself and then burst into a blaze.

            The light from the fire revealed the silvery metal chest of a familiar intruder and it was…

            "BlackWarGreymon?!" gasped Agumon and Gatomon.

            Indeed, it was BlackWarGreymon, but he looked different as a Wormon popped out behind his helmet and Hawkmon peeked behind his leg. Agumon was a bit annoyed that he was scared the wits out of him, "Guys, explain yourselves."

            "Well, you see here," explained Hawkmon, shuffling his foot around the sand, "we were looking for more firewood to get Flamedramon warm, since we don't really have blankets, and found him sleeping underneath a tree. We woke him up and he said that he's the one that you befriended him. We brought BlackWarGreymon here as a guest. What do you think?"

            "Sure! I'm in! Since it's midnight, I gonna get a midnight snack near the woods, okay?" agreed the dinosaur. Gatomon nodded. Patamon fell asleep and BlackWarGreymon blinked at them. He saw Flamedramon and his eyes were glowing fiercely. Flamedramon! The heir of the shinning evolution!

            Just as Agumon left for a snack, BlackWarGreymon walked to Flamedramon's unconscious body and stood there. Gatomon turned around and looked at him as he closed his eyes. Then all of a sudden, he raised both of his claws and dug them in the ground, inches before Flamedramon's body!

            He roared, "Mighty Digital Savior! I have come to serve you! Rise, Fire Angel!"

            A golden light poured from his claws and entered Flamedramon's body. The unconscious being jerked and began to glow the golden light. Then Flamedramon shrank. His long blade shriveled up and his ears turned into a peachy color as they slid down the side of his bluish tan head. His wings disperse and the chest armor melted into a shirt with flame decorations on his sleeves and the bottom of the shirt. The white snout grew into a human nose and wild navy blue hair flowed from his disappearing helmet. The tail shrunk back and the thigh armors changed into black pants. Flamedramon's hands shifted into human hands, but they still had the black fingerless gloves with the silver crest of courage engraved on them.

            The boy jerked and opened his eyes. As he did it, he froze.

            Flamedramon's thoughts grew sharper. Fladra's unconscious, so, I'm in deep trouble.

            The digimon, excluding BlackWarGreymon, stared at Fladra. Then Gatomon looked at him, "Veemon?"

            "Uhh, Gatomon, I'm partly half Veemon and half Fladra. Heh."

            "What do you mean?"

            "He means that both of the spirits lies within Fladra, but when they are in trouble, the Fire Angel sheds the tears of supernatural, and they shift-evolve," answered BlackWarGreymon, bowing to Fladra as if he's a king, "You haven't told them about the book, haven't you?"

            "Uhh, no, why?"

            "Because the time's right to tell them about it."

            Flamedramon remembered something what Gennai said to him, "You cannot tell anyone until the time is right."

            "Oh, all right," said Fladra as Wormon gave him the book. He opened it and writings poured through the pages:

Hear the terror of the Fallen Angel

Hark! The powers of miracles

Evil shall fall to the light and be level

For Faith and destiny lies in wait

That the Fire Angel will create

For the ones loved let be

For my hero,

Have I loved thee?

Oh hear ye! The darkness comes!

 The Battle is lost,

The shinning evolution is gone,

The sister has won,

But the brother is one.

For my hero,

Are the Angels gone?

Yet the warrior is all to see,

To set the Brother free

Thus he shed the first of search

And then have the second of love.

The warrior thus died and sworn,

To return and reborn

For my hero,

Is the spirit of light says true?

The Brother sheds the third in miracles

And it isn't a supernatural,

For the brother is in thy body of one,

The fourth in gate is done.

The brethren of dragons protect their young

At the hole the crest is flung,

The fallen angel waits

For their fate

Of the shinning evolution and life

For my hero,

Can this be right?

We overcome the dark

And spread joy and heart

But the sinister succeed and failed

For fate changed and hailed

The crest of miracles!

Beware the twin of darkness,

Who seeks the brother

That never serves the mistress.

Could thy balance alter?

For my hero,

Is there an answer?

Over the land where the tigers roam

Where the friendship and reliability lie

The wars are fierce and the oceans foam

Appears all life that roam.

Yet so solitary is the temple

Where trees are ample,

And flying is simple

That guards from the spirits.

For my hero,

Can the one inherit

The miracles so?

End the great battle!

Vacillate he cries

Over the voice of the warrior

Losing hope and courage did he

Underneath the great phoenix

To guide my warrior home

I will never let thee go

Oh! The Fire Angel will become different

Never will she become the evolution.

Here at last the fire angel gives

The last tears he shed of the supernatural

Twice the sixth in belief of my hero

The first and the yielding seventh of century

Plus the misty eighth of millenniums

Never he let go of the first Amazon mode.

He gives thy two primary lives.

And I at last he shed two tears

On the lastly third of guts.

For my hero, have I loved thee?

            Fladra closed the book. The staring digimon still stared for quite awhile. He stretched his hands and went to sleep. Agumon returned with full of delicious fruits and set them down on Flamedramon's table. BlackWarGreymon eyed the fruits as Agumon picked one up and gave it to him. He said, "Eat it. It's healthy."

            BlackWarGreymon toyed it with his Dramon destroyers and then set the fruit on the ground. With a loud grunt, he sliced it in half and pierced one of the sliced fruit with one of his claws. His mouth slowly opened and the fruit was chucked into it. (Haha! I finally made a WarGreymon eat! This part is just a theory.)

            "Not bad, what is it called?" he asked.

            "A peach," Agumon said, "Many digimon and people like them. Pity you didn't have time to check it out, though. Anyway, how did you manage to come back as yourself?"

            "Well, after MaloMyotismon was destroyed, as Wizardmon said to me, I wandered as a ghost in the world. I long for the digital world, because I am lonely and lost in the real world. Then a miracle happened. That boy over there turned into Flamedramon with red wings and created a gate for the digimon ghosts. Wizardmon was one of them. I went through the portal, also and then here I was, a real digimon. Wizardmon told me that the boy was the Digimon savior and as known as the Fire Angel. Since I am paying a dept to him, I'll try to guide him."

            Gatomon whipped her head around and exclaimed, "Wizardmon's back?!"

            BlackWarGreymon blinked, "Uhh, yes, but he's in the western hemisphere of the digital world for some prophesy and told me to stay here. I didn't know you guys are here, so I slept for a while until Wormon and Hawkmon woke me up. I almost did attack them, thinking it's an enemy."

            "Yes. That was some quick move you have there," snorted Hawkmon, brushing his tail feathers, which some tips were cut off.

            "I'm sorry," he apologized.

            "Yes, you're forgiven, but please, let us sleep! Thank you very much," Hawkmon threw some wood into the fire and laid himself close to it and slept.

*~*~*~*Next day~*~*~

            Gatomon's ears twitched at some puking noise outside. She got up and went to see what's wrong, ignoring the empty spot where Fladra slept.

            Fladra returned to the cave, but his face is pale and his hand shook violently. When he saw Gatomon in the tunnel, he collapsed. Gatomon gasped and ran to him, but Fladra was struggling to get up.

            "Are you okay?" asked Gatomon in anxiety.

            "What do you think, Gatomon?" he said sarcastically, "I got my butt whipped by Millieniumon, Fladra's mind is unconscious due to the broken leg we received, and our body vomits every time we shift-evolve! Am I okay?! No way! I can't even control his body!"

            Gatomon's ears drew back in shame and said, "I'm sorry that I've said anything."

            "Huh, you better be," snorted Flamedramon, "Look into my eyes, what do you see?"

            Gatomon looked into his fiery, red eyes and saw pain, sorrow, and humiliation. She adverted her eyes from him, her ears drooping even more. Then her memory suddenly cleared and she remembered her slapping him on the cheek because he made fun of her monfriend. Then, remembering the blood on her claws, she looked at fladra's face. Near his chin, three scratch marks were still visible.

            Both spirits lies within Fladra. That's what BlackWarGreymon said, right? Oh no! What have I done?!                                                                                                                                                                                

            Flamedramon's stern look soften and patted her on the head, "There will be a time when you regret about what you have done. After we have figure out the prophecy and I will be back as one, forgive and forget, that's what Patamon told me about."

            "Patamon told you that?" Gatomon asked.

            "Uhh, yeah, he did a year ago when I accidentally tripped over him and fell into a river," he blinked and his cheeks were red. Stupid you, Flamedramon! What the heck am I thinking?! That was the most stupid thing that I have ever said. I regret this some day!

            Then footsteps were heard. Fladra shakily got up from the ground, stronger than before and smiled as he lean against the cave walls. The digidestined were back!

            "Hey! Fladra! Good to see you here! Where's Flamedramon?" yelled Davis.

            Fladra blushed even redder and Gatomon retreated into the cave to wake up Agumon and his friends. Ken looked inside the cave and said, "Flamedramon's gone!"

            Davis eyed him, "Gone?"

            Fladra cleared his throat, "Umm, Davis, I need to tell you something. Well, I need to tell you all, digidestined. Well, umm, I'm not exactly Fladra in a way."

            "Not exactly Fladra? What do you mean?" asked Matt.

            Fladra laughed and rubbed his head, "Don't you really get it? I'm, well, we are both Fladra and Flamedramon."

            "Oh, WHAT?!" said the digidestined except T.K. and Cody as they stare at Fladra.

            "Oh, I wish I had a better explanation than this. Fladra could do it better than me," he muttered to himself.

            Just then, BlackWarGreymon appeared behind Flamedramon and said, "What he means is that Flamedramon somehow got into his body and they are stuck until there is a way to separate them."

            "BlackWarGreymon!" cried the digidestined.

"Indeed it is I, but your friend here is in trouble. An enemy wants him for something Wizardmon told me. It was called the Fire Angel."

Ken said to him, "The Fire Angel, who is he?"

Fladra shrugged, "I don't know, but why don't you just come inside and help me on this prophecy I got. Anyway, does someone have something to eat?"

*~*~*~*~*~*~Hours later*~*~*~*~

"Prodigious!" said Izzy, "These pictures made no sense, yet they are made for the prophecy! Looked at this one!"

He pointed out a picture of a temple, similar to the Mayan ruins, and two weird looking angels on front of it. Four towers sat next to the corners of the temple and it had the crests that were also were on the book on top of each tower. The courage and fate were in front and the hope and reliability were behind. A rainbow crystal was on top of the temple. One of the angels had red and orange wings and his pants, arms and feet were in flames. The angel beside him was a woman with dark wings and she held a spear, dripping with dark matter. The male angel had a dragon surrounding a golden ball while the female had a black orb covered in white goop.

"Hey! Take a look at this one!" said Davis cheerfully as he flipped the next page.

Some of the digidestined crowded around the book while Flamedramon munched on sushi. He was in his form, now, with the red wings. Finally a voice interrupted his thoughts.

Ugh! Where am I?

Fladra, are you okay? A while back with Millenniumon, you screamed. What happened?

Oh, I got hurt and it hurt really badly.

           

            Ah! The fractured bone…

            Yeah, that's the one! Anyway, how did they take it?

            Man, you should see their faces when I told them.

            Heh.

            "Whoa! It looks like Flamedramon, without the wings!" said Davis. The digidestined turned to stare at him.

            "What? Don't you guys see it? It's right here!" he pointed at the crude figure of his partner. He was approaching a pillar with the same rainbow crystal that was on the first page.

            Izzy shook his head and realized something, "Davis, why don't you try if you can see some words the next page."

            "Hmm," Davis looked at the page, "since Veemon taught me a few words these ones supposed to be 'the battle is lost.'"

"Ah! I think I understood something!" said Izzy, "Wormon told me that Flamedramon could read the blank pages even though we could not. And Davis could see the pictures and the blank pages. There is an unusual tie between them. All we need is some pencil and papers to write this prophesy down. But first, Flamedramon, how did you end up like this?"

Flamedramon gulped down his food and looked at Davis. He nodded sternly and Flamedramon sighed and split his side of the story from where he left the group to until he was deleted.

"And the next thing I know, I woke up in Fladra's bathroom, screaming the heck out of myself," Flamedramon finished. Suddenly, Flamedramon's voice became a bit higher, "Now, it's my turn how he might have gotten in my body. I was playing soccer and then I felt sharp pains running through my body. I was unconscious for a while until I woke up in the hospital. The doctors couldn't figure out what happened, so I went home with my parents. A month later, I was in the bathroom and my parents were out of town. One minute I was fine, the next minute I was puking over the toilet. I got up and then I didn't see myself. I somehow turned into him and I started to freak myself out. That is what woke Flamedramon up. Dude, you should have heard us in our minds. We never agree with one another."

"So wait a minute!" said Tai, "You're the boy who was the goalie that was injured for some unknown reason!"

"Well, how did you know?" asked Fladra.

"I saw you guys playing quite well."

"Oh, thanks."

"Goalie? Fladra played an Offensive side when we played soccer for P.E.!" said Davis.

"Oh! That was Flamedramon's idea."

"But you can't be a soccer player and a dancer at the same time, can you?" Kari said, "I saw you dancing in a studio on the same day an explosion occurred."

"Umm," Flamedramon blushed a little.

            "Well, first we need Flamedramon to translated the words in Japanese and then let Davis keep the book. If we're going to go somewhere, I'll contact you guys as soon I got this prophecy figured out," Izzy stated as he butted in the conversation, "After we all get back home, you and Davis will explain to Fladra's mother about him being the digidestined and you, Flamedramon, are going to sleep over at Davis' house. Got that?"

            "Since when did Izzy become the leader?" Flamedramon muttered to Davis.

*~*~*~*~Nighttime~*~*~*~*~

            "Well?"

            Mrs. Nidaiisha looked at her son and then she cried. Fladra flinched and said reassuringly, "Don't worry. I'm not going to become like her. You know."

            "No, it's just that aftermath of what had become for her. No, son, Flaydran, I mean Fladra; it's not your fault. She's fine where she is. Just be careful."

            "I will," Fladra said as he picked up his duffel bag and closed the door to his home. A tear fell onto his hand.

            What wrong?

            It's just nothing.

            He went down the elevator to meet Davis. Later on they arrived at his house and it took an hour long for both Fladra and Davis to explain their situation that Fladra had to shift-evolve. It gave Davis' family a heart attack.

            "So, mom, Veemon's back, but he is different as I have explained to you," said Davis as he looked at his parent and Jun, who returned from school. Flamedramon stood there solemnly with his wings folded back and some of the feathers trailed the floor.

            "Veemon looks pretty with his wings," said Jun calmly, "all I see everyday is dragons wings, but not angelic ones, though."

            "Oh! Thanks, Jun," said Flamedramon, blushing.

            "Well, Veemon, welcome back home, I hope that you won't get in trouble, again. Your mother and I will set blankets for you in Davis' room for I don't think that you and your partner could fit in that bed," said Mr. Motomiya.

            "Thank, guys."

            After they set up the bedroom, Flamedramon lay down on his temporarily made mat and just stared into space. Davis returned from the bathroom, the toilet flushing, and looked at him.

            "Flamedramon is something wrong?"

            "Oh, nothing, it's just that… I think I was in love with Gatomon, but I don't have the feeling, anymore. It's like that I lost the meaning of love. Why did I gave her the crystal if I don't even know what it means?"

            "Why? Ever since you have been defeated once by those controlled Tyrannomon, and have been rescued by Gatomon and Patamon, you seemed to have admired her. You also wanted to digivolve, is it not?"

            "Well, I didn't really tell the digidestined why I ran off, because it kind of dealt with her."

Say it, Flamedramon. Just say it!

Fine then! After this, you better hush!

But-

Sh!

"It okay, we're pals, just tell me everything," Davis said as he knelt down and rubbed his partner's head, between the ears and under the helmet.

*~*~*~*Koushiro Izzy Izzumi~*~*~*~*~

Izzy yawned as he still kept going with the prophecy.

I know that we have to go west since the only tiger digimon we know is the guardian of the western hemisphere, but for what? What is the shinning evolution? What is the Fire Angel and who is The Fallen? Twin of Darkness? The inheritance of the Crest of Miracles?

He reread the prophecy for a while and theorized. He brought out another piece of paper.

Maybe I can do something about the tears of these supernatural. The first of search…hmm…maybe the first letter of search is s! I'll put that down. The second of love is o. The third in miracles is r. The fourth in gate is e. The last tears… Twice of sixth in belief is f. Twice the letter is two f's. First and yielding seventh of century is c and, deleting useless words, y. Eighth of millenniums should be i. The first Amazon mode might be a. Two primary lives…double r? No, primary means first, so l is doubled. The third of guts…t! Now what do we get?

"S, O, R, E, F, F, C, Y, I, A, L, L, T," was written on the paper. Izzy examined it muttered to himself, "May be I should try unscrambling it. This prophecy isn't any other ones we have seen, it's mainly of riddles!"

After three hours of hard thinking and rechecking the prophecy, he leaned back on his chair and slept. On the table, there lay the piece of paper, scribbled three words and was circled and underlined twice: CRYSTAL OF LIFE.

~*~*~*~*~Unknown~*~*~*~*

            "I need to get him," the fallen angel said as she clenched her claws, "Beezlebumon! (I rather not prefer Beezlemon, for I'm mainly used to Japanese digimon)"

            "Yes? My master?" said a dark figure with two guns, one strapped to his leg and one on his back

            "Millenniumon failed his quest, my friend, and I want you to have a deal with Flamedramon and I will give you the Zero Unit. You know what the deal is. Lives for a life, also, make sure he is injured before he comes here," said the Angel, still clenching her claws.

            "I will, my lord," he bowed and left.

            The Fallen Angel gritted her teeth, for something was unusually wrong with her.

            Oh! My little ity bity brother is whooping your butt girlfriend and you know it! The Fire Angel shall live and the Digimental Tamers shall protect him!

            Silence you young fool! I will not tolerate my host to be like this! I will become strong of your courage and destroy your little brother of Miracles!

            Nah! Don't say I warned you for Magnamon would turn the tables on you!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

What is the Fallen Angel planning?

What is the crystal of life?

Who was the host the fallen angel had taken?
