Small Digi-Talk and Rescue Scorned

---

Disclaimer: Come on now we all should know by now what I do and do not own. Ayako, Iysis, Kelsamon and her forms, Daisuke's swords and powers, Raidramon's new forms and powers, plus the plot are all mine okay? Everything else...Daisuke and all them...aren't. Get it? Got it. Good.

Note: I apologize for the three strange dashes under some paragraphs. They don't mean anything, they're only there because FF.net's Document Manager decided that was the only way I could double space. Now enjoy the chapter!

Charmon yawned and blinked a couple times, sleep's hold having not let go of her yet. The hold was gone as Charmon jumped up, up and away from a swipe of a paw. She looked around. "What the-! You! What was that for?!"

Gatomon glared at the baby fox digimon. "Wake up call." Mockery was in her tone.

"Well, /I'm/ awake. But 'Sleeping Digi-Beauty' here isn't." She gestured to a still-asleep, and happily snoring, Chibimon.

Gatomon shrugged. "That's fine."

Charmon sighed and rolled her eyes. "The rest of you can come out of hiding, I know you're there." She rolled her eyes again as Patamon, Wormon, Hawkmon, Armadillomon, Biyomon, Palmon, Tentomon, Agumon, and Gabumon came out from under the bed. "May I help you guys or something?"

"Yeah, you can explain some stuff."

"Fine, Patamon, what do you want to know? Wait, first off, how did you all get here if you're partners didn't bring you? Which I /know/ they didn't."

"We walked. Now talk."

"Calm down, Gatomon. What? You wanna fight again?"

"I wouldn't waste my strength or time. You're just a baby digimon."

Charmon smirked. "That's what you think."

"Wha-??"

"Charmon digivolve to...Noamon!"

"Naomon alternate digivolve to...Kelsamon." And the rookie cat-fox mystic stood before them again. "I'm ba~ck..."

"But how--? You're partner isn't even here!!"

"So? Let's take this to the park shall we?"

"Ppht. How are /you/ going to get /all of us/ to the park?"

"Like this." Kelsamon closed her eyes.

~Iysis I need a little tele-magic..so don't panic at the light power tap.

'Fine.'

Thank you, my friend.

'Hn.'~

"I call on the light of wind...take us to our destination." Her eyes snapped open, glowing a powerful blue. And the room was swallowed in blue light.

---

Gatomon removed her paws from her eyes, deciding it was safe to open them since the light had died down. She looked around in shock. "We're...we're..."

"At the park? Of course. What? You'd thought we'd still be in Daisuke's room? Pph, be serious. Now what do you want from me?" She sighed at the still-sleeping form of Chibimon. "I swear you'd sleep through a Dark Tyrannamon stampede. Wake up." She none-to-gently threw Chibimon into the nearby lake.

He came up sputtering and coughing. "I'm awake!! I'm awake!! You didn't have to drop me in the lake you know."

"Mmhm. Well come on. Apparently we're being interrogated ." She gestured to the digimon behind.

Chibimon blinked. "Right." He pouted. "You're lucky I can swim." He swam to the edge and got out, walking/wobbling over to them. "I suppose I'm supposed to digivolve." Kelsamon shrugged. "Chibimon digivolve to...Veemon!"

"Veemon alternate digivolve to...Vee-Eldramon!" Both rookies now towered over the other digimon and they backed up a bit, a little intimidated. Except for Gatomon and Patamon of course. Vee-Eldramon looked at them. "So I guess that makes you two the ring leaders? Or is that the lead interrogators?" His voice was deep with a dry tone to it.

Ruby and black-violet scrutinized them. "Well?"

"First, how do you two have alternate rookie forms?"

Vee-Eldramon shrugged. "I wasn't born from a digi-egg like the rest of you and I'm a mythical dragon. Plus I'm the 'Chosen One'...well..as far as digimon go. I suppose that's why."

Kelsamon shook her head. "As if I know. I just can."

"Can any other digimon do it aside from you two?"

Vee-Eldramon told him 'no, just us'.

"Why?"

"Ask Fate. Or even Destiny while you're at it."

"That's not possible traitor."

"I suppose you forgot that my name is Kelsamon, but if your'e childish name-calling makes you feel better then that's fine. And it is possible, Gatomon. /You/ yourself just can't."

"Why is that?"

"One, you're a digimon of Destiny, therefore Fate will not see you. And two, your heart is not in the state it needs to be to see Destiny."

"What is that supposed to mean?!"

Vee-Eldramon sighed. "Translation: You just can't right now. Deal with it. Can we go now?"

Patamon grunted out a 'no'. "We're not finished with you yet."

Kelsamon looked at the sun and laughed. "What's so funny?"

"Well Vee-Eldramon, I'm laughing because Daisuke's about to kill you!" And she laughed again.

"Why would you say something so weird as that?"

"Because it's almost six, and due to that noon game and him being dragged off doing that thing humans call 'shopping' 'til five. /You/ were supposed to meet him in the Digital World at six so you could train."

"How would you know?"

"He came through his computer at around 5:30 to get his stuff and told me..well Charmon..to tell you to meet at the usual spot at six."

Vee-Eldramon glared. "And why are you just now telling me that?!" The cat-fox digimon shrugged and Vee-Eldramon bolted off.

"Tsk, tsk. Hopefully Daisuke won't be mad. Anyway, what else /must/ you digimon know?"

Gatomon glared. "This isn't over. Lucky for you, I have to go hunting." She started to dash off. "Remember, I'm not done with you, traitor." And then she was gone, Patamon following, in flight, behind her.

"How rude. Dragging me out here to ask a stupid question and then leave for 'hunting'. What a waste of my time. Until we meet again...or not." A blinding flash of blue like before and Kelsamon was gone.

Hawkmon sighed, frowning. "How are we supposed to get back home? Gatomon and Patamon are the only ones who know the way that avoids humans!" The digimon looked around at each other, expecting someone to answer. They all collectively sighed, and walked, crawled, whatever along in a random direction that humans probably wouldn't be on.

Nefertimon was panting as she flew along above a forest. ~I can sense them from here. They can't be far.~ Her partner sighed. "Where are you taking me Nefertimon?"

"There's something I need to show you."

"I...alright then."

~You aren't supposed to be doing this...~ That voice prodded at her again.

She ignored it. ~That's what I /said/, doesn't mean I had to go through with it. This is too important to keep from everyone.~ She tried to justify herself. ~I won't let everyone in on it, just Hikari.~

She felt better, but the voice came back. ~Oh...and who's to say that your partner won't blab to everyone or to someone that with tell all? Or maybe it'll be a chain. She tells one digidestined, they tell another, and that one tells another, and so it goes until everyone knows and pokes their noses in it. Then all eyes fall on the one who spilled first. Which would be you. And then you practically 'promised' /Gennai/ of all people that you wouldn't. Oh, he won't tell you anything anymore after that. And then you get nada from Daisuke, the cat-fox, or dragon boy. Way to go Gatomon.~ She paused, but apparently the voice was done criticizing her. A large explosion caught her attention. "There!"

---

Punch left. Punch an uppercut. Kick with left. Kick with left again. Power-up and now jump up into a tornado-style swipe. *crack*

"Timber!"

Daisuke sighed as his sword knocked down yet another tree. The objective was to knock down /all/ the trees at the /same/ time. He kept knocking them down, /one/ at a time. He gave Raidramon a dry look. "Do you /have/ to say that every time I knock one over?"

Raidramon give him his version of a grin and continued his own training. He'd just learning the attack. "Watch this Dai!"

---

Unfortunately, the area Raidramon was targeting...was occupied. I think we all know what's coming.

---

"Grand Thunder!" Large, thick 'ropes' of lightning colored an electric...for lack of a better adjective...blue decimated the targeted area. Raidramon howled in pride and Daisuke applauded him.

"Good job, Raidramon! That was amazing!" Daisuke gave a low whistle to the damage. His smile was cut short, by a series of loud roars. Loud, /angry/ roars. Closely followed by panicked screams. "Ano...Raidramon?"

"Yeah?"

"That wouldn't have happened to be your stomach would it?"

"No, how could you explain the screams?"

"Uhhh..."

"I thought so."

"So who or what is it?"

Daisuke got his answer when Nefertimon broke through the trees carrying a frightened Kari. "Come on, Nefertimon we gotta get away!" Both appeared to be a little worse for wear as Nefertimon de-digivolved to a tired Gatomon. "I don't have enough energy to fight off the DarkTyrannamon anymore. I'm sorry.."

---

"Don't worry, we got you two covered." Hikari and Gatomon looked up to see Daisuke on Raidramon's back. "You two going to be okay?"

"Uh...I-I-I..." Hikari couldn't find anything to say.

---

(A/N: Fanservice for fans of Daisuke's looks! ^_~)

---

Daisuke had long since taken his shirt off and only had on a pair of blue jean shorts. His blue bandana, which had slid around his neck and that notorious red solo-spike rested on the side of the bridge of his nose gave him a roguish look. With black fingerless gloves and a nice sheen of sweat, Daisuke looked like a girl's fantasy hero.

And here he was, saving her. Gatomon answered for them both. "We'll be fine . But how do you /two/ plan to beat all /six/ of them?" Raidramon's change of appearance did not escape her eyes. The other digimon seemed to be ignoring her gaze or just didn't know she was looking.

Daisuke gave a Devil-May-Care smirk. "Only six? Pph, child's play." He directed his gaze at the Dark Tyrannamon and then Raidramon. "K, buddy. I get three and you get three, fair and square. Just keep them and all attacks away from the ladies and anything goes." He grinned. "I bet I'll beat mine first."

"I bet you won't beat me to it."

"Oh?"

"Are you two crazy?!!

Both looked back to an angry Gatomon. "Let me get this straight . While the six Dark Tyrannamon that attacked us-- and you claim to be able to defeat--are stamepeding this way, you two are bickering over who can take their share out faster?!?!"

Daisuke actually had a thoughtful look on his face. "Well...yep. That just about sums it up." He was grinning seconds later. "Let's go Raidramon!" Daisuke raised his sword to the air as if declaring something. He jumped off Raidramon's back and both raced forward.

Hikari and Gatomon sat in shock, think and saying the same thing. "They'll be killed!"

---

Daisuke ran forward and stopped short of the Dark Tyrannamon. "Any special requests Iysis?"

A light blue apparition appeared, sitting in a tree. "Is this really necessary?" Her voice had an echo to it.

"Not really."

"Your horseplay will get you killed one day."

"Not today though." Excuting a perfect backflip, he landed right on a Dark Tyrannamon's head. He waved down at the outraged digimon. "Hello there." He yelped and jumped up as one of the other Dark Tyrannamon swiped at him and missed, instead hitting his fellow digimon's head.

Both digimon seemed to glare at each other. Daisuke /could/ have been able to sit back and watch the lot of them duke it out, /if/ he hadn't snickered at the scene. Suddenly all eyes were on him. "Heh heh....ummm...bye!" Daisuke ran off, hoping they would follow him into his trap.

Like the idiots they were, the three Dark Tyrannamon followed him. "Snake Spikes!!" Daisuke made about 12 lightening-quick swipes into the air, all of them leaving venom green spikes. He snatched the end of a spike and the rest seemed to follow in a chain. He threw the train of spikes at the trying-to-slow-down-and-turn Dark Tyrannamon. The chain separated into three groups of four spikes and they hit their targets directly. With panicked and protesting roars, the four Dark Tyrannamon were deleted.

Daisuke gave a whoop as their data spiraled into the air and disappeared. The blue apparition appeared again, speaking in her mysteriously echoed voice. "Wasn't that a bit much?"

"So?"

"The cat digimon...a Gatomon I believe...says it was overkill and the girl says you're a murderer."

"A what?!"

"She says that the eyes were red and believes she saw a collar on it."

"So?"

"She thinks they was controlled by some outside force and could have been saved, instead of deleted."

Daisuke gave an exasperated. "So I saved their lives and I'm the bad guy now?"

"If you wish to word it that way, then...yes."

"Give me a break already."

"I believe Raidramon is finished and Gennai wants you to come home. He has news for you."

"Alright, alright. Let's go Iysis." The woman in the tree vanished and Daisuke headed back.

---

(A/N: Time lapse, minna.)

Raidramon skidded to a stop in front of the three Dark Tyrannamon. "Tsk, tsk. You shouldn't pick on inncoent women like that. They all launched their Dark Nova attacks. (A/N: Does anyone know the name of the Dark Tyrannamon's actual attack?) Too bad for them, Raidramon was far too fast and moved out of the way, sending a Thunder Clap attack to knock the stray attacks away from Gatomon and Hikari. "My turn." Raidramon gave what looked like a smirk. "Here's an instant replay for ya!"

---

Looking at Daisuke and Raidramon and realizing what was coming, Hikari screamed, "Nooo!! Raidramon, Daisuke wait!!" Too late. Daisuke launched something called 'Snake Spikes' and Raidramon...

---

"Grand Thunder!!"

The Dark Tyrannamon didn't even have time to scream..err...roar as they were instanly deleted into smoke and data. When the smoke and debris cleared...as it was with his partner the digimon were no more. Except that there was a bit of a crater where Raidramon's opponents were and Daisuke's attack left what looked like acid streak-marks on the ground. Raidramon howled in victory and sat waiting for Daisuke to come back, ignoring Hikari and Gatomon's comments. "Ah, hey there Iysis."

"Hello Raidramon." She appeared to survey the damage as sat sideways on Raidramon's back. So she was sitting with both legs hanging over the side instead of straddled, facing the way Raidramon was looking. "Gennai wishes to see you both."

"Sounds like there's a catch."

"A what?"

"A catch, something you're leaving out because me and/or Daisuke may not like it."

"Oh. That is correct."

---

"Spill Iysis." Daisuke walked up, sheathing his sword.

"Do what?"

He sighed. "Elaborate."

"Hn. He wants to take you and Vee-Eldramon to see the Sovereign."

"Why?"

"I can't tell you all the news."

"Yeah, yeah. So we're going today?"

"No, tomorrow. He's just telling you about it today."

"Hm, I see. Is Ayako going?"

"If she wants to, I suppose so."

"Will you be there?"

"If a topic of my concern arises, yes."

"Meaning?"

"Maybe, maybe not."

"Fine. Let's go then." Daisuke climbed up onto Raidramon's back. He called back to Hikari and Gatomon, remembering their comments. "Hey, us /murderers/," he said with mockery, "want to know if you need help getting home."

Gatomon's fur bristled and she growled. "We're going with you."

Hikari frowned. "We are?"

Gatomon turned and whispered, so no one else could hear. "Yes. We need to know what's going on and how they were able to do that. Last I checked Daisuke couldn't do anything like that, Raidramon doesn't normally look like that, and 'Grand Thunder' isn't one of his regular attacks either."

Hikari bit her lip in hesitation, but slowly nodded, agreeing with her partner. "You're right." Her voice gained a resolved, determined edge. "We need to get some information one way or another."

"Hello~, you need help or what?"

"We're fine, but we're coming with you."

Daisuke arched an eyebrow. "And we will allow this why?"

Iysis held up a hand. "No, let them come."

"But Iysis--"

"Let. Them. Come." Her tone left no room for arguement.

"Alright then. Do you have enough energy to get there on your own?"

Gatomon flexed her paws and nodded. "Yeah, we can handle it."

Hikari stood. "Ready?" Her partner nodded. "Armor digivolve!"

"Gatomon armor digivolve to...Nefertimon! The angel of light!"

And they all took off.
