DigiAdepts Chapter 3

By Miracles

******************************************************** (Town Gate)

Davis, Ken, Kari, and Yolei were standing in front of the exit of Vale. Practically the whole town had come to wish the four adepts well on their journey. The town's mayor was even there; meanwhile all of their parents were going through a supply check with their children.

"Are you sure you have everything honey?" Davis' mother asked.

"Yes mom, don't worry will be find. With all the herbs, food, and survival gear we have, we'll be able to take anything!" Davis said confidently. Ken, Kari, and Yolei sweatdropped, a little embarrassed by Davis' claim.

"Make sure Davis only eats food you know is clean, when he's hungry, he'll eat anything that looks remotely like food." Davis' mother whispered to Kari.

(A/N: This part should also be familiar to Golden Sun fans)

"I heard that!" Davis yelled. Finally the four adepts were ready to leave and the town gave them a final farewell.

******************************************************** (Outside of Town)

"Wow, it's been so long since I've seen the outside world!" GigasVeemon exclaimed admiring the scenery.

"How long were you guys in that cave anyway?" Ken asked.

"The last time we were freed, was about two-three hundred years ago." FizzHawkmon said trying to recall his past.

"TWO-THREE HUNDRED YEARS AGO!" Davis, Ken, Kari, and Yolei exclaimed at once.

"It's hard to remember, when we were returned to our hibernation state, most of our memories were washed away." FizzHawkmon said.

"Do you have any idea what your previous master was like?" Yolei asked.

"No, I don't sorry." FizzHawkmon said apologetically. As the party continued to walk they heard a rustling in the bushes. A figure jumped out at them.

"What is that?" Kari asked.

"It's a zombie." Ken answered.

"Looks like he's not alone." Davis said and pointed to the three other zombies following the first one.

"We can take them!" Yolei said and drew her stick from its sheath. The others unsheathed their weapons and prepared for battle.

"Let's get 'em!" Davis said charging to the zombies. Davis slashed his long sword at the zombie creating a clean cut in its arm. The zombie cast a beam of psynergy at Davis. The beam clobbered Davis.

"No!" Ken, Kari, and Yolei exclaimed at once.

"Calm down." Davis said getting back up. He spat out blood and prepared his next attack.

"Quake!" Davis cried out as the ground began to rumble. A giant rock shot out of the ground crushing the zombie, disintegrating it. The other zombies advance forward.

"Davis sit this one out, will handle the rest." Ken said stepping forward and motioning for Kari and Yolei to attack. Kari jumped into the air and hit the zombie on its head with her stick. The zombie fell to the ground but got up quickly. The zombie smashed Kari with its arms striking her in multiple places. Kari back up and rushed at the zombie. At the last second Kari flipped over the zombie and jabbed her stick through the zombie's stomach.

Ken appeared to be in control of the fight, by dodging each of the zombie's blows and then lashing out with his long sword. Eventually the zombie's stamina gave out and disintegrated.

Yolei had used her psynergy ability frost to freeze the zombie; Yolei slammed her stick on the frozen zombie, causing it to shatter.

"Well that was a fun work out." Davis said sarcastically while holding his injured arm.

"Don't worry Davis I can just put a few herbs on it, or I could use my ply ability." Yolei said.

"I got it, Heal!" Davis yelled as he cast a psynergy spell, yellow pixels appeared out of Davis' hand and flew into his injured arm, causing it to heal.

"Since when did you know a healing spell?" Yolei asked surprised.

"I asked Gennai to teach me a healing spell incase I was ever badly injured." Davis answered.

"This looks like a good place to set up camp for the night." Ken said already setting up a tent.

"Alright we'll sleep in shifts, now let's go collect some firewood." Kari said.

******************************************************** (The Next Day)

The party continued traveling until they came to a cliff.

"OK, where do we go from here?" Yolei asked.

"There is supposed to be a town near here." Ken answered while looking at a map.

"I think I see it!" Davis yelled. He pointed down to a large plain; sure enough there were small houses and stores.

"Let's go, maybe we can find some information about Matt, TK, Sora, and Tai there!" Kari said. The party found a way down the cliff and continued walking until they reached the town.

"Welcome to the town of Vault." Yolei said as she read the sign at the entrance.

"I've heard about Vault, the famous trade Master Kido comes by here many times a year." Ken said. The group was about to enter when a train of wagons came rushing out of town. The party jumped out of the way to avoid being crushed.

"Don't they have any manners?" Yolei yelled in anger. The wagons stopped after passing the gate.

"Yolei, those are wagons belong to Master Kido!" Ken said trying to calm Yolei down.

"That doesn't mean he can just come barraging out of town almost killing people!" Yolei shouted angrily.

"Let's just come down and go get something to eat at the town café." Kari said pushing Yolei into town.

******************************************************** (Town Café)

"Alright now that we've had some food, we need to talk to the mayor and asked him if he's seen Matt, TK, Sora, or Tai." Davis said while eating some French fries.

"This also looks like a good place to train, since there are many forests close to town." Ken said while feeding GustWormmon some of his hamburger. The party finished their food and head over to the mayor's house. As the party approached the house guards blocked their path.

"What is your purpose here?" The left guard asked.

"We need to ask the mayor a question." Davis answered.

"Do you have an appointment?" The right guard asked.

"No..." Davis said.

"The mayor does not have time to be troubled by foolish children." The right guard said.

"Children! We need to talk to the mayor so get out of the way!" Yolei shouted in rage. The guards backed up slightly surprised by Yolei's out burst.

"Remove yourself from here now, or you will be arrested." The left guard said starting to get angry. Davis, Ken, Kari, and the Djinn began to leave, while dragging Yolei away.

(A/N: Don't worry I won't bash Yolei's anger problem much after this chapter)

"What are we supposed to do now?" Kari asked.

"We could try to make an appointment like the guards said." Ken suggested.

"Good idea." Kari said. The party walked over to a bulletin board that showed various sign up sheets.

"Here's the one we want." Yolei said holding up a sheet of paper.

"Uh oh..."

"What is it Yolei?" Ken asked.

"There aren't any open dates for a whole month!" Yolei exclaimed.

"A MONTH!" Davis, Kari, and Ken shouted at once.

"What are we suppose to do now?" Ken asked. Davis was about to reply when they heard a screamed.

"What was that?" Kari asked.

"I don't know, but we should check it out." Davis said. The party ran toward the source of the scream, a party of four skull warriors equipped with swords and shields were terrorizing the local villagers.

"We have to stop them!" Davis shouted as he rushed into battle. The others followed the suit.

"Hyaa!" Davis' sword slammed against a skull warrior's shield. The skull warrior pushed Davis back and slashed him leaving a few small cuts.

"Davis you OK?" Ken asked as he parried off one of the skull warrior's attacks.

"I'm fine, watch out!" Davis yelled. The skull warrior Ken was fighting side stepped and smashed Ken with his sword. The rest of the skull warriors backed Kari and Yolei into a corner.

"Nothings working!" Kari cried out.

"Try psynergy!" Ken yelled.

"Quake!"

"Whirlwind!"

"Flare!"

"Frost!" Each attack flew at a different skull warrior, but the skull warriors blocked the attacks with their shields.

"It didn't work!" Kari yelled.

"Davis, let me help!" GigasVeemon shouted.

"Right!" GigasVeemon's body once again broke into pixels and merged with Davis. Davis' sword glowed a bright orange, Davis then cut his sword straight through a skull warrior.

"Use the Djinn!" Ken yelled to Kari and Yolei. FeverGatomon and GustWormmon broke in pixels and merged with their respective masters. Ken and Kari's swords glowed purple and red. Both warriors used the power of their Djinn and sliced through the skull warriors.

"FizzHawkmon, I need your help!" Yolei cried out.

"Yolei I'm sorry my ability is to heal!" FizzHawkmon called back.

'Davis...' A voice said in Davis' head.

'Huh?' Davis thought confused.

'Use my spirit.' The voice said. Davis felt his body move as if it were not his own.

"I summon Gigasmon!" Davis called out and raised his arms. A being appeared with the symbol of earth on his chest. He raised his arms and dozens of rocks were lifted from the ground. The rocks all came crashing down on the remaining skull warrior destroying him and the being disappeared.

"What was that?" Yolei exclaimed in amazement.

"That was a Djinn elemental spirit." FizzHawkmon said in interest. "I haven't heard of a spirit being summoned in centuries! According to what I remember spirits are only accessible when the true chosen warriors of the Djinn are present." FizzHawkmon said.

"What is the name of my spirit?" Davis asked.

"That particular spirit is the spirit of Venus, Gigasmon." FizzHawkmon answered.

"Thank you for saving my town." The four adepts turned and saw a man and the guards that were at the mayor's house.

"It was no problem." Davis said.

"Allow me into introduce myself, I am the mayor of Vault. My guards told me that you had come to see me, earlier today." The mayor said.

"We wanted to ask you, if you had seen a party that consists of three men and a woman traveling through here." Ken asked.

"I'm sorry, with some many traders coming in and out of Vault; it is hard to keep track of everyone who comes in. But maybe you should try heading through Char Cave, many people who come to Vault, usually pass through there, to get to Char City." The Mayor suggested. The party thanked the mayor and left Vault, after stocking up on supplies.

******************************************************** Not my greatest chapter, I promise there will be more action next time, but let me know what you think. I have also decided not to put any romance in for a few chapters, but there will be a few hints along the way.

So please R&R!
