Akiya: Ravynn wrote this chapter!
Ravynn: Yup. At school today, when I really should be paying attention to class.
Akiya: It's amazing the teachers didn't ask you to pay a little more attention. -_-;;
Ravynn: If one of them did, I would have gone, "But, miss, I'm paying as little as I can!"
Akiya: Ha, ha. You're very funny.

Clack. Clack. Clack.
Kiaru Ichijoji fumed as she paced back and forth in the train compartment, glaring now and then. The rhythmic clacking of the train is ticking her off and she wished she had never came aboard.
"Would you just be quiet!?" Kiaru shouted angrily.
"No need to be so mad." Celestial Trailmon said calmly. "It's not my fault the railroad tracks are made this way!"
Kiaru jumped at the voice and demanded, "What or who are you?"
"I am Celestial Trailmon. And you happen to be on board on me." The Trailmon said a-matter-of-factly. "I am taking you to the digital world. AncientOramon's order."
"Who is this AncientOramon?" Kiaru asked. "And why are we going to this digital world?"
"I don't' know." Celestial Trailmon said. "But what I do know is that the world is in jeopardy and you Celestial warriors must help save it."
"What do I look like to you?" Kiaru demanded. "Do I look like I'm capable of doing that?"
"Why, yes." The Trailmon answered. "You just haven't discovered what you are able to do yet."
Kiaru thought about what the Trailmon had said. Is this the digital world I overheard my parents talk about once? Up ahead, through the transparent train, Kiaru could see two tracks. One was destroyed, and laid in a heap of rubble, while the other was rusty, indicating that it hasn't been used for years that seem to lead into the dark forest up ahead.
"Who destroyed the track?" Celestial Trailmon demanded angrily. "I can't get back this way!"
"But there is another track." Kiaru pointed to the rusty track that hasn't been touched at all.
"That-, that track?" Celestial Trailmon stuttered, frightened. "No-, no we don't' go in there. It's-, the Dark Continent. IF you enter there, you-, you might not, make it out alive."
"Why? What's wrong with that place?" Kiaru asked, eyeing the Black Forest up ahead.
"I can't go in there!" Celestial Trailmon said in a frightened tone. "I just can't! No one comes out of there alive!"
Kiaru took another look at the continent. That place is covered in darkness, she thought. No matter. It's just like the night. There will be sunlight later when the sun rises. I have come this far, and I'm going to make it all the way, Kiaru thought determinedly.
"Go in there." She said confidently. "Just think of it like it's nighttime. The sun's going to come up in a few hours."
"You-, you sure?" Celestial Trailmon asked, still not convinced. She threw a look at the forbidding continent of darkness. "I'm sure." Kiaru said. Her hands are clenched tightly at her side. Dark Continent, here I come!
"O-, okay." Celestial Trailmon said. She took a deep breath, and rushed forward, slowly and steadily, turning to the rusty tracks. They went closer and closer….
"It's…so dark!" The Trailmon whined. "I can't see anything!" Neither could Kiaru. She stared at the endless darkness, hoping her eyes will adjust to it. But she saw nothing more than what she could see-, darkness. Up ahead, she heard the flutter of leathery wings.
"Who's there!?" Celestial Trailmon cried, screeching to a halt, throwing all the passengers off their seats.
Kiaru fell over, hitting the side of the train compartment. "Ow!" She said, rubbing her side, where she had landed roughly on.
"Who's there?" Several voices mocked. "Who's there?"
"Ghosts!" Celestial Trailmon cried frantically. "This place is haunted! No wonder no one comes out of here alive!"
For a second there, Kiaru thought that there were such things as ghosts, but she shook the thought off. She chided herself, what are you? A little kid? Stop believing in such things! "Keep going!" she said, feeling a little anxious.
"No." The Trailmon wailed.
"Keep-, going!" Kiaru growled.
"I-, I won't." The Celestial Trailmon said equally as determined.
"I won't, I won't." The words echoed with the same mocking tone.
"Then let me out!" Kiaru said. If this piece of machine won't go in deeper, she will.
"Gladly!" The Trailmon said, opening all the train doors.
Kiaru glared at the Trailmon and stepped out of the train. She was greeted by utter darkness.
The rest of the passengers got off board as well.
Okay, Kiaru. She thought to herself. Stay calm. Nothing's going to happen.
A figure swoop at her and she threw herself onto the ground, feeling something sharp and jagged cut into her knee. A second figure dove towards her, and she could see the blood red eyes glaring at her as well as the sharp claws gleaming. With a snarl, Kiaru grabbed the item she had scraped her knee on and hurled it at the creature. The creature shrieked and Kiaru reached for something else. Her hand groped the barren ground.
"No!" She said as a third figure dove at her. She moved backwards, tripping yet again. She landed on her back and felt something clasped firmly in her palm. "Where did this come from?" Kiaru asked, staring at the shiny object.
"Kill…." The figure hissed.
Kiaru panicked. What am I going to do!? The figure drew nearer and nearer.
"No!" Kiaru shouted angrily. "It's not going to end like this!" Her outburst was heard in the entire forest. "I haven't come all this way to lose my life! I wont' allow it!!"
As if answering her, something burst out from the ground. The burning object lost its fire and hovered in midair, gleaming brightly.
"Wow." Kiaru said, awestruck. "It's…beautiful…." She stared at the gadget in her hand. It was composed of the color of the sunset and the color of white. Several buttons were on the gadget as well as a mini screen. "A digivice…." She looked at the hovering object again. "Is…this mine?"
The spirit hovered in front of her. Kiaru reached out and clasped onto the spirit, feeling the warmth of the spirit.
"Digi-code scan!" Kiaru shouted, scanning the digital rings around her hand. "Celestial evolution activate!" She leaned back, allowing the spirit to do its work. She felt her clothes being stripped off and felt her nude body being shined on upon by rays of sunlight. The spirit appeared in front of her, and a ring of fire surrounded the two.
"The fire." Kiaru whispered. "It's…so warm." Her red and pink hair blew up and twirled as the ring of fire split into several more, forming a sphere around her and the spirit. The spirit began to split apart and then fall into place. And with a sudden burst of fire, an eye opened, revealing a jade green iris. The figure leaped high, the sun behind it and reached for three arrows, which she inserted in her bow. She drew back and allowed the arrows to ignite of fire and then releasing them. She fell back down, landing gracefully with flames all around her and the sun behind her.
"Archerimon!" She said, pronouncing her name.
Wow. Kiaru thought. I became a digimon!
There was a screech and Kiaru could see the creature still diving at her.
"My light." Archerimon said. "Will forever shine upon this forest." She leaned back, her hands outstretched towards the sky.
As if answering her, thousands of streams of sunlight peeked through the gaps of the trees, and hitting the ground.
"This continent." She continued. "Will not be in darkness any longer." She leapt back just as the figure dove at her. The digimon had a white face and chest with long fang and blood red eyes. The other parts were of a royal blue, its silver claws gleaming and its leathery wings made loud noises while flapping.
"Kill…." The digimon hissed.
"Oh no you won't!" Archerimon countered. "Messenger-." She reached for an arrow and slipped it in the bow. She leapt up, Darwin she arrow back, and then released. It. "Arrow!" The arrow became the rays of sunlight, scorching the body of the digimon. It shrieked a terrible scream, and Archerimon covered her ears in pain, falling onto the ground. Afterwards, the digimon burst into data.
Archerimon stared at the tiny particles of data. Somewhere in her mind, it told her to reach for them. And she did. She reached out, absorbing the data. She felt her power and strength growing.
Two more hisses were heard and Archerimon turned to see two more of those digimon flying towards her. She ducked as one of them threatened to rip her eyes out, but other other's talons dug into her shoulder, tearing her flesh. Black blood began to flow. "What is this?" Archerimon said, disgusted.
Again one of the digimon swooped at her, but only missed. Archerimon let out another snarl and reached for another three arrows.
"Yes…." A hoarse voice said. "Kill…the…girl…Pipismon."
The two Pipismon opened their mouths to emit a terrible shriek and complete its master's bidding.
"Fire Arrows!" Archerimon yelled, inserting the three arrows into its place and allowing them to ignite on fire before releasing them. The arrows pierced into the digimon's wings, but not before they let out an earsplitting screech.
Archerimon felled to her knees and plunged her hands onto her ears. "I-, will-, win!" She said through gritted teeth. She forced herself up and pulled out her sword. The golden light shining from the sword blinded the two digimon. "Arrow of Truth!" The two digimon let out a harmless shriek and fell to the ground. "My sunlight will purify your darkness!" Archerimon declared.
Archerimon breathed heavily, falling down on her knees. She thought back what the Celestial Trailmon had said earlier. You just haven't discovered what you are able to do yet. She shivered.

Akiya: We're really sorry for the long update.
Ravynn: Next time, we promise not to be so lazy and bored.
Akiya: And one more thing, here's a good description of Archerimon. We would love to post the picture, but the picture Ravynn drew got erased partially by some jerk.
Kiaru Ichijoji:
Spirit: Sun
Celestial Hybrid: Archerimon (Celestial Hybrid is equivalent to Human Hybrid)
Attacks:
Messenger Arrow: She shoots an arrow with her bow, and while in flight, the arrow transforms, become not unlike the actual sun's rays.
Fire Arrows: She takes three arrows and inserts them into her bow, and allowing them to lit on fire, before releasing them. The arrows are as sharp as diamonds and will cut and burn through almost anything.
Arrow of Truth: This arrow purifies a digimon, and sends them back into the purification of their soul when they were born. Usually. Clash of Hikari and Kurai-, this attack is used when Archerimon pulls out her sword (It is as bright as the sun). So usually, the enemy gets blinded, then, depending how dark they are, they are inversed.
Appearance: The Celestial Hybrid has long auburn hair that is pulled back in a ponytail, with jade green eyes and wears an outfit that looks a like a karate outfit, but at the same time, a kimono. It is made of a light brown material and has a dark brown sash. She also has a sword on her back and the thing that holds her arrows and carries her bow.
Ravynn: We promise that the next chapter will be up soon!
Akiya: Yeah, if you haven't took my notebook home!
Ravynn: Well SORRY!!!
