Mere Anarchy
An ongoing series by Sailor Eevee
Ch. 2: Joined and Bonded
A/N: Here we go, chapter 2. I'm going to try something different, so if it doesn't work, bear with me. Fanfiction.net isn't uploading the little lines I put into my fics to separate different settings happening at the same time from each other. So I'm going to try using different keys to do that. If you see a line like: *************************** or a line like IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII , It's a different action happening in a different scene at the same time as the previous action. Like the little stars in books. Anyway, this fic is going to introduce some of the more fantasy related items into the story, which are going to be major plot points in the sequel to this. I also introduce two characters, one original, and one from Frontier (If you look at who's in the fic already, I think you can guess who it is..) and the Frontier character is going to be messed with just as much as Yama, Ken and Ruki are. I'm playing with different personality traits and how the character is seen and stuff like that. BTW, It gets more interesting in the chapters after this one. This is just introductions ^_^
I can't see a thing..There's no light.. A soft voice broke into the dark haze of Ken's mind, growing increasingly louder every moment. "Ken-chan? Ken-chan? What's wrong with you Ken-chan?" One huge blue eye was shoved in his face, looking like it was going to bawl tremendously at any second. "Wormmon?" Ken croaked. His voice was raw and sore, something that worried him. How long have I been unconscious? He thought, as Wormmon tried vainly to lift Ken's head from the ground. "You aren't hurt are you?" Wormmon gushed, trying to wipe a smear of dirt off of Ken's cheek. Ken managed a weak laugh, and rose himself off the ground. "I'm okay Wormmon..don't worry about me." The little green digimon slid off his chosen as Ken got up and looked around. "It's so cold..where are we?" He asked. Wormmon went over to a pile of rocks, and looked outwards. "We're at the edge of the Northernlands. Just over there is the beginning of the server forest." Ken groaned. "Great. I've never been here before, and I have no idea what I'm doing here, and.." he said looking at his clothes, "I'm still wet! This sucks." Wormmon laughed as he heard Ken curse. "It's not so bad. I know where we are."
Ken looked at Wormmon and smiled. It had been a long time since he had gotten to really spend time with the little digimon, and he was now getting his chance. There was only one thing that bothered him though.. "Where's Yamato?" He asked, realizing the blonde's absence. "He came in with me, I'm sure. Did you see a blond guy around Wormmon?" Wormmon shook his head. "I didn't see anyone else around here. Are you sure he came with you?"
I'm sure. He should be here. YAMATO!" Ken cried, waiting a few minutes before he called out again. "I don't understand..where is he?" Ken muttered under his breath. Suddenly there was a crash in the forest. A digimon's roar was heard, followed by a red flash in the distance. "Something's wrong Wormmon." Ken said, but he didn't have to. His Digivice had already wailed, and Stingmon was in the air. "I catch up! Hurry!" Ken cried, and Stingmon nodded. He flew off over the trees while Ken ran after. As he wound between trees, he could hear the sounds of fierce fighting. At a break in the forest, he came upon the source. A wolf-like digimon and a black dragon creature were fighting, twined around one another. Various energy attacks were being shot off everywhere, not taking any notice of who may be standing near. Ken fell aside as a white blast of lightning shot past him.
"That's enough! Wormmon digivolve!" he cried. Wormmon jumped forward crying "Wormmon digvolve to.. STINGMON!" The great green warrior lept between the fighting creatures. "Spiking Strike!" Stingmon screamed, and a purple flash separated the fighters. he dragon screamed back, angry and indignant. Its rough black fur and silver mane bristled, and it let out a sharp hiss. The wolf digimon however, was dedigivolving. Against Ken's expactions, it changed into a blue haired male human. "Damn it..I almost had that thing.. what the hell did you do that for?!" The human tackled Ken, pinning him to the ground. "I almost killed it, you asshole! Now we're done for! What the hell did you think you were doing?" Ken stared right back at the angry blue eyes. "I was trying to protect MYSELF. You were going to destroy everything around here, including me!" He pushed the blue-haired boy off of him and pulled himself up to full height. He was taller that the other boy, and wanted to make full use of it. The blue haired boy glared at him. "Fine. You deal with it. I'm just going to sit here and have a good laugh before I die." He plopped down against a tree and watched. "Have fun.." he sneered. Ken just narrowed his eyes. "Come on Stingmon." he said, and stepped over to the hissing dragon.
The dragon's amethyst gaze met Ken's deep violet one. "If you wish to fight, you are welcome to fight my digimon. However, you will try to be more watchful of what is around you, okay?" The dragon raised its nose and pressed against Ken, startling him. He fell backwards, surprised. The dragon came close again, no longer hissing angrily but almost ..purring? "Milord, I greet thee". A soft female voice whispered in Ken's head, "I trust this fool hasn't harmed you? If he has, I can rip his head off if you so wish it". Ken stared at the bright eyes of the dragon. It..(she?) just sniffed slightly. "Boy..must I decide everything by myself? Very well." She moved towards the other human, now alert. "If that's the way you want to play.. lets do this!" Suddenly Ken cried out mentally STOP THIS! Both the human and the dragon stopped. "Finally the boy makes up his mind! A miracle has occurred!" mentally laughed the dragon. The human fumed and sputtered angrily. "Will you cut that out?!" He cried. Ken just stood, stunned. He had called out with his mind..and the beast heard him! "I can hear that too."
Sorry..
"Don't you know anything about your own Lyr? They sure aren't teaching kids anything these days.."
Lyr? I don't know what you are talking about. I've never even heard of it. Are you a digimon?
"Now I'm confused, boy. I don't know what a mon thing is, so I obviously can't be one can I? I'm your partner! As a pureblood Shiori, as young as you are, you should know this!"
Shiori? What the hell are you talking about?
"I have to explain everything huh? Fine. My name is Kaili, and I am a Lyr partner to you, a Shiori. Because I am a so called mythical creature, I only bond with the most powerful of Shiori, usually pureblood like you. You are a born assassin, boy! Where have you been for the beginning of your life eh?"
I still don't get it..I'm not pure anything, much less an assassin. My parents..
"are a bunch of lazy bums if they didn't say anything to you. You have the eyes and hair of the blood fool! Come to think of it, why do you not live at the mountain? I had to search forever to find you."
So you brought us here?
"Us? I don't know any "us" boy, just you. And no, I didn't bring you anywhere. You were here, so I came. Anyway, that's hardly important.."
"Look, if you are going to stare at it all day, I'm just going to kill it now. Get out of the way!" The other boy cried, but Ken whipped around and glared at him. "You don't know what's even going on. I suggest you shut up." The other boy glared back. "Not very many people say that to Minamoto Kouji and get away with it. This thing attacked me first, and I never avoid a fight if I can help it." The dragon sniffed haughtily. "Hardly. He stepped on my tail, and I jerked it back, flipping him over, and he demands a fight. I was not at fault here." Ken sighed. "Kouji, I'm sorry but you cannot fight this dragon. She is under my care. Besides, you cannot attack a friend of a friend, and since I know your name, I'll make it mutual so we can get along a little better. I am Ichijouji Ken." He bowed, keeping an eye on Kouji. He glowered angrily, but he bowed after a few minutes.
"So you have one of these too?" Kouji asked, pulling out a digivice of different shape. Ken nodded and pulled out his. "This is Wormmon, my digimon." Ken uncurled Wormmon from his neck, where the little digimon had been hiding. Kouji laughed. "I do my own fighting. I don't need a little green worm to fight for me. You could not possibly be alone." Ken bristled, and the dragon Kaili hissed behind him, but he kept his voice calm. "Actually I'm not alone. I'm looking for a friend of mine. He's blond and blue eyed, and a few years older that me. Have you seen him?" Kouji thought for a second, but then shrugged. "Nope. I have no idea." Ken sighed again. "I better find him. History tells me that we don't so well alone. Would you like to come with me? I could use the company." Kouji laughed. "Me? Come with you? No way. I'm not going near that thing." He pointed at Kaili. She hissed, enjoying his reaction. Ken looked at him and then turned away. "Fine. Goodbye Kouji." He strode off into the trees, followed by Kaili and Wormmon. Kouji stood until Ken had gone out of sight, the started to follow. That dark haired kid was suspicious, and he was going to find out what was going on..
