Chapter 7

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, do you think you'll help us?" Takeru asks his friend.

"Actually, I found out about this a couple weeks ago from Gennai, and I've been searching for the person." Izzy answers.

"Have you found them?"

"No, but I know that it's a girl we're looking for. I've narrowed the search down to three places. I was just going to go look into it just before you came."

"Really? Well, I'll go with."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I really hope Takeru and Izzy are hurrying up. Virukumon is starting his attack!" Yolei says.

"Hey guys! Get out of there!" Kari yells.

"Watch out!" Cody calls out.

Virukumon swings once of his huge arms towards the Digimon. Even Imperieldramon looks puny compared to the Digimon. Imperieldramon and Shikukumon move out of the way just in time, but Slyphymon gets hit directly. She goes tumbling down to the ground, and on impact, she De- DigiVolves to Salamon and Poromon directly. Both Digimon bounce until gravity takes complete control, stopping them on the sixth drop.

"Poromon!" Yolei calls.

"Salamon!" Kari shouts.

Both Destend run to their badly injured partners, picking them up and holding them, tears streaming down their faces.

"Yolei."

"Hikari."

'Takeru, please hurry up.' Kari thinks to herself. 'There's not much time left.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"One more place left to check." Izzy says to Takeru, motioning towards the door in front of them. Takeru knocks. They hear footsteps rushing to the door, and a girl, about fifteen, answers.

"Oh, so good. I need some help." She says quickly.

"What?" Izzy asks.

"I've been going crazy. I need to find a way to get to the Digital World. I've been given this, and an e-mail telling me that the Digital World is going to be destroyed if the key doesn't go there and stop it. I think this is the key and I am the person who has to deliver it." She says, opening her hand up, revealing a small golden coin. "How can I get to the Digital World?"



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Hurry Takeru! I know you'll get here in time! I believe in you, Takeru- san!' Kari thinks to herself, wishing that Takeru could only hear her pleas.

The Digimon has attacked numerous times, and the only Digimon left standing is Shikukumon. All the Destend and their helpless partners just stand by, watching, waiting for all of this to end. DemiVeemon, Poromon, Leafmon, and Salamon are hanging by a thread. (Hanging onto life, watching as their friend Shikukumon darts around, evading attacks - for now.) Everyone can tell that he's getting tired, and that they will meet back up with Upamon and Tokomon soon.

"That's it!" Tsumon yells, hopping toward the battle. "I need you to help!"

"No!" Nemoriku yells, running after her partner. "Please don't, Tsumon!"

Nemoriku grabs hold of Tsumon, tumbling to the ground in an effort to keep hold of her raging partner. Tsumon ignores her, however.

"Tsumon DigiVolve too.."

"No, don't!"

"Harokomon!"

"Whaaa..?!" Nemoriku shouts. "Tsumon?" she asks, still on her knees from her attempt to keep her partner from going into battle. She looks up to see her partner towering over her.

"No, Harokomon now, partner." The ultimate Digimon says to her partner. "It's time to end this."

"No! please. Harokomon!"

"Believe in me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, we could try opening a sky portal. or then again." Izzy thinks outload.

"Do you know how to use that?" Takeru asks the girl.

"No, not exactly. Wait! I got it, no, no that won't work. This is really important, isn't it?"

"Yeah, I don't even know what's going on there anymore."

"Grr! I just want to help out the Digital World and you guys!" she yells.

The 'coin' (which I'll now be referring to as the 'key') in her hand glows a light blue, and wind picks up around her. A rainbow of light comes out of the face of the coin, and in the center of the rainbow circle shows a crest that has never been seen before. Suddenly, the light blue glow spreads around the girl, as well as the two Destend. Around her, it glows white, around Izzy it glows blue, and around Takeru it glows yellow. Within the next few seconds, they are transported right in front of the battle going on.

"Takeru!" Kari shouts out, running up to him and giving him a hug. "You're back!"

"Yeah. Everything's going to be fine now, Hikari-san." He says soothingly.

"Break it up here!" Izzy yells.

Shikukumon loses focus, and Virukumon swings his arm, hitting the Digimon hard.

"That's it!" the girl yells toward the huge Digimon. "You're going down!" 'here goes nothing.' She thinks to herself. 'I hope this works..'

The girl focuses all of her energy on the small golden disk, closing her eyes. The disk shines once more, a rainbow of color exploding all around the outside edge, and a glow of every hue shines on everything in sight, including the sky. As the edge of the disk shines in every color, the top portion of the disk glows white, and it soon becomes a beam of light, shooting straight up into the air. It seems to slowly change positions with the rainbow of color, and soon the white light shines on each Digimon, restoring them to full power. All of the injured Digimon DigiVolve back to their trainer forms, and Salamon DigiVolves back to her Champion level. The white light then shines on Virukumon, and he dissolves into pieces. Then, the white light fades down to a light blue glow, and the magnificent colors twirl around, opening up, and then a Digimon shows up right in the center. It is about the size of Upamon or Poromon, but instead is light yellow, with two ears, each parted and thin. The top two parts are completely black, and the bottom ones are striped. (A link will go here when I get the page working!). The Digimon's eyes are round, and a deep blue.

"Hi Reko! I've been waiting a long time to meet you! I'm Kamimon, your partner!" he says in a high-pitched voice, jumping out of the light and into Reko's arms.

"My. Digimon? Finally!" Reko shouts, hugging Kamimon.

The rainbow light sweeps once more over all the Destend and Digimon, and then stops on Kamimon and Reko. A crest drops to the ground in front of Reko, and then Kamimon DigiVolves.

"Kamimon DigiVolve tooo... Gamilamon!" the Digimon shouts, changing form. (here's where another link will go!)

"Gamilamon?" Reko asks.

"Uh-huh." The Digimon says, his voice obviously deeper from his in-training form.

The key then loses it's rainbow light, and shatters into millions of pieces, and is finally absorbed into the mysterious girl's body. She shudders as it happens, and when it is complete, she falls to the ground, unconscious. All the Destend and their partners rush over.

"Ah, I see the job is done." Gennai says, appearing in front of the girl's motionless body.

"What happened to her?" Dai asks.

"She's unconscious. When she wakes up, she will know quite a bit more about the Digital World than she ever thought she would someday know."

"How much more?" Reko asks.

"More than any of you, and almost as much as I."

All of the Destend and Digimon are speechless. Almost as much as Gennai? She'll be a Digital World genius!

"Let me continue before you start getting too many thoughts about this. She won't just know almost everything about this world, she'll also know how to control the balance between darkness and light. If she wants to, she can tell the Digital World to become night or day, kill Digimon with just a thought, and bring life to the dead with a mere touch. She can also slow or quicken time for her own use. Basically, she has near-complete control of the Digital World."

"Basically!?" Izzy asks, perplexed.

"Yes. Her emotions won't have anything to do with the Digital World, so she can't just kill things because she's angry, or bring life to be happy. She must have a reason for interfering with the Digital World's balance."

"Oh." Izzy says. Kari, as well as some of the Digimon, let out a sigh. They were somewhat afraid of that.

"I must go now.." Gennai says, once again disappearing.

Reko looks back to where he was standing when Gamilamon told him they are partners. He looks to the ground, and rushes over, picking up the crest and pocketing it. He figures it's his anyway. Meanwhile, the others all wait for the new Digital Guardian to wake up. It's going to be a long night, so they set up camp. Davis covers the girl in a warm blanket as it's getting dark, and with dusk comes the cold night air.
