-_- Sorry about that, I got carried away again, well enjoy this chapter,

Knock knock...knock knock..., "Ben?" He didn't answer, so I slowly opened the door to his room and stuck my head in, "Now where... ah, he's still sleeping." I walked over to his sleeping form, forcing myself not to laugh. He was lying halfway off the bed, covered in a sheet, with his feet in the air. "I hope he's okay..." I gently prodded at him with a claw, "Ben, Ben are you awake?" His only response to my inquiry was to mumble something about cookies and, bad clowns? I sighed wondering what I should do. I then saw the wash basin and pitcher next to the bed. A mischievous smile appeared as I thought "Well, he did me ask to wake him, so..."
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" I yelled as something very cold, and very wet was suddenly thrown on me. "Damn!, what was that!?!" I heard someone laughing and pushed myself up onto the bed to find Pinmon with an empty pitcher in hand. "What was that for Pinmon?, now I'm soaking wet!" I yelled at him angrily. I swear, I've never seen someone use a look that was as innocent as Pinmon gave me. "Why Ben," he said, "you told me to wake you, and you wouldn't when I called your name, so I did the next best thing. By the way Ben, I can see that you decided not to put your clothes back on last night." I looked down at myself to see that I was in my birthday suit. "Damn it!" I yelled, yanking the sheet over me embarrassingly. This caused Pinmon to laugh all the harder.
I glared at him as hard as I could, but couldn't help but break into laughter as well. After we had both calmed down, I asked Pinmon to leave so that I could get dressed. Pinmon nodded while wearing a huge grin and strode out into the hallway, shutting the door behind him. I hopped out of bed, still wearing the sheet, and went to procure my clothing from the closet. I opened the closet and viewed its contents. "Hmmm...let's see, here are my jeans, socks, and underwear!, but where is my shirt?" I thought to myself. It wasn't there, the closest thing to a shirt in the closet was some kind of jacket with metal clasps all over it. I put on the rest of my clothes and called for Pinmon, somehow thinking that he'd hear me. I was right, he soon opened the door, walked in and asked "You ready to go Ben?" "Pinmon, one thing, where's my shirt?" Pinmon looked away from me and said, "Well, you see, when you were brought in, the medics stripped you to properly examine your injuries. The Motimon that brought you in wanted to do something to help. They explained what had happened, luckily for them, since I was furious. You were fine though, so I suggested that they wash your clothes."
"You were furious?" I said, "about what?" Pinmon looked at me, "It was my fault that you got lost, If I hadn't been in such a hurry, then none of this would've happened." I sat there in shock, "He blames himself?" I grabbed Pinmon by the arm and stared him in the eye, "Look Pinmon, this wasn't your fault, you got that? If anyone is to blame, it should be me. It was my own stupidity that caused me to get hurt. If I had just remained calm instead of freaking out from the sounds the Motimon were making...well, anyways it's not your fault, and I don't want to hear you saying anything like that again, please!" Pinmon lowered his head submissively "Alright Ben." I let go of him, then sighed and asked "Now, what happened to my shirt?" Pinmon looked back up at me and said, "Well, the Motimon washed your clothes, but it seems that when they were taking them down from drying, one of them digivolved. This newly digivolved Tentomon was so excited that he accidentally zapped your shirt, which caused it to burst into flames."
I stared at him incredulously, "You're kidding, right?" Pinmon smirked and said "Nope, in fact you're kind of lucky, in a way." "Why's that?" Pinmon looked at the jacket I had tossed on the bed, "That jacket is on loan to you from the head knight himself." "What!?!" "Calm down Ben, he felt sorry for you is all, and he decided that he'd help you out, seeing as you might be the newest member to our little club here." I looked at the jacket lying next to me. With a shrug, I picked it up and put it on. It was, I'm afraid, just a little too big. It hung down to my knees and my arms were almost completely covered! I looked up at Pinmon, only to find him trying his hardest not to laugh at my appearance. I sighed, "Well this isn't too bad, and at least it's something. Although, what kind of digimon wears a leather jacket?" I thought this over and decided that it didn't really matter. "Well Pinmon, I guess it's time isn't it?" Pinmon smiled and said, "You're right!, c'mon Ben let's hurry up and go, they're probably waiting for you as it is." He then turned and walked out the door with me right behind him, "They're?"
I followed him down corridors, hallways, and even a couple stairwells. On the way toward our destination, I found that I was seemingly the object of discussion among the inhabitants. Every time a digimon, or usually a group of them, saw Pinmon and I, they would stop and stare, or start to whisper among themselves. I started to get pretty nervous and was starting to have second thoughts about what I was doing, then Pinmon spoke up, "Well, here we are Ben." We were standing before an ordinary looking door, just like the one to my room. Pinmon started to knock on it, when it opened from the other side. A Gabumon stood there with its' arms crossed, and an annoyed look on its face.
"Well it's about time you showed up Pinmon." Pinmon only shrugged and said with a grin, "I know, I know, but is it my fault if the laundry service is horrible? Poor Ben here would have had to come down naked, if it wasn't for my quick thinking." I glared at Pinmon, "Wait a minute..." Gabumon then grabbed both of our arms and dragged us inside. "Come on you two, your initiation is about to start." Pinmon looked shocked, "Hold on, you mean I have to do this as well?" Gabumon only nodded and growled as he opened a door on the other side of the bedroom, it did turn out to be and ordinary bedroom after all. He then kicked it open, revealing nothing, as the other side was pitch black, and turned to leave. I just stared at this doorway, "Okay, so what do we do now." Pinmon was also staring at the doorway, which is why we never saw it coming. "Hope you're not afraid of the dark." said Gabumon from behind us, as he then rammed us through the doorway, and slammed the door shut behind us, leaving us in total darkness.
I sat there stunned, then I searched for Pinmon. "Pinmon?, where are you?" "Right here." said Pinmon from my left. I turned toward the voice, and reached out to get a feel of where he was. That wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done, "Ouch!" I yelled, pulling my hand back. It felt like I had been stabbed with something sharp. "Ben, are you okay, what's wrong?" I realized what had happened, "Pinmon, you need to relax, I stabbed myself on your quills." I then felt something touch my chest and then latch on to my shoulders. "Sorry Ben, I was just surprised by Gabumon is all." I grabbed his arm and held on to it, I didn't want to lose him in this darkness. "Is this part of the initiation Pinmon?" Pinmon sounded confused as he answered, "I don't know, I've never heard of something like this happening before." We both jumped in surprise as a loud, deep voice spoke out, "The time has come."
The sound seemed to come from off to the right, I turned toward it and called out, "Who's there?" I had to quickly shut my eyes from the light that suddenly flared to life. Pinmon growled and said, "A little warning would have been nice." As I stood there rubbing, and blinking my eyes, I finally got a view of where we were, and who had spoken. We were in a large wooden chamber, brightly lit from the fluorescent lighting, the walls were covered with tapestries, and suits of armor along the walls. Of course, some of the armor was oddly shaped, obviously not being made for humanoid digimon. I then saw the being that had spoken; it was sitting in what appeared to be one of three huge thrones. The other two were also similarly occupied.
I recognized them all from the t.v. show, the one on the left was an Andromon, the one on the right was an Etemon, and the digimon occupying the middle throne was an Angemon. I stared in awe, almost thinking that I was once again dreaming all of this, when Pinmon nudged me, "Come on Ben, show some respect." I looked at him and saw that he was on his knees, so I followed suit. The Angemon then spoke up, "Welcome Ben; it is good to meet you." "Yeah, ditto baby, uh-huh." said Etemon. The Andromon simply nodded in greeting.
I thought of what I should say in response, I mean I didn't want to seem rude. So I said the first thing that popped into my mind, "Hey." The three digimon stared at me, as if expecting more. Well, Angemon and Andromon stared, Etemon seemed to be humming to himself. This was a very awkward moment. It's a good thing Pinmon knew exactly what to say. "Well, we're here, so when does Ben start his testing?" The Angemon turned to Pinmon and said, "As usual Pinmon, you go right to the heart of the matter." "Thanks, I think." said Pinmon. The Andromon then spoke up, "We are currently unable to begin the testing." "Why not?" I said, finally getting over my embarrassment. Etemon spoke up; "We're waitin for the head mon himself, uh-huh." "The head knight is supposed to start the testing, but he isn't here yet." said Angemon.
Suddenly a loud sound, like the revving of an engine was heard, and it started to get louder. Andromon said "By my estimations, he should be arriving in 1.5 minutes." "Pinmon," said Angemon, "you and Ben might want to stand next to the wall." "What's going on Pinmon?" I asked, as we moved to one of the suits of armor. "The head knight is coming," said Pinmon, "you know, the guy whose jacket you're wearing." "Oh." I said, as the noise got louder and louder. We watched the end of the hallway where a pair of doors stood closed. The noise seemed to be coming from that direction. As it got louder, I began thinking to myself, "Now wait a minute, a loud engine, a leather jacket, and the fact that he's late, why does this sound familiar?"
The noise was very close now, "10 seconds..." said Andromon. Then the doors started to swing outward. I still had this nagging feeling that I was missing something. "6 seconds..." said Andromon. "What could it be, think Ben think," then it hit me, "no way..." "2 seconds..." "Heh, hail to the king baby, uh-huh." said Etemon as the head knight himself rode through the doorway on top of a gigantic, roaring motorcycle. It was of course, none other than Beelzemon. He pulled to a halt in front of the thrones. Then he got off and said, "Well boys and girls, I'm here, so where's the new guy?"
I stood there, not quite believing my eyes. One of my all time favorite characters from the series had just appeared before me. Of course, there was no way that this was the same mon, right? But hadn't Etemon been talking like he did in the show? As I stared a Beelzemon I realized he had just asked about me. I didn't know what to do, let alone say. Once again it was Pinmon to the rescue.
"Hey Beelzemon, it's about time you showed up!" Beelzemon turned toward us for the first time. "Pinmon, there you are!" Beelzemon strode over to us, snapping his tail like a whip. He looked down at me as I stared up at him. "Hey bub, name' Beelzemon, how ya doin?" he said as he stuck out his hand. "G...good, and it's an honor to meet you sir." I said as I shook his hand. "Sir!?!" said Beelzemon, "ha!, that's a laugh, just Beelzemon'll do. Hmmm...well it's a little big, but I hope you like the jacket." Beelzemon then turned and walked back his bike.
"I think it's about time we started the initiation." said Angemon, as Beelzemon remounted his bike. "I concur with this assessment." said Andromon. "Let's get this party started, uh-huh." said Etemon. "You two come here." said Beelzemon. Pinmon and I walked up to the demonic biker, and stood before him. "Pinmon and Ben, do you two know why you're here?" asked Angemon. Pinmon answered before I did, "I don't know why I'm here, aren't I already a DigiKnight? These initiations are supposed to be private aren't they?" "Yes you are a DigiKnight, and yes, normally these occasions are private," said Andromon, "but due to the circumstances of you two being partners, you must take a different initiation together with Ben." "How bout's you Ben, why do ya think you're here, huh?" said Beelzemon.
I answered as honestly as I could, "No, I don't know why I'm here." Pinmon looked at me in surprise, as well as the others. "I mean I know I'm here to see if I'm to be a DigiKnight, but why was I chosen?" Angemon smiled and said, "Would you believe me if I said it's destiny?" I smirked at that and said, "That's got to be the corniest thing I've ever been told." Angemon shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's worked before, so it was worth a shot. As to the real reason, Andromon if you would be so kind?" "Certainly," said Andromon, "the reason that you were chosen Ben, is unknown to any of us. We are not the ones who decide. But I can tell you that there must be something unique about you. You have been one of the very select few to obtain a partner. There are hundreds of DigiKnights all around the digital world, human and digimon alike. But only a select few have partners."
"In other words," said Beelzemon, "we don't know why you were chosen, it just happens." "Okay," I said, "but why did I receive a partner?" Pinmon looked a little hurt when I asked this, but I decided I'd talk to him later about it. Angemon stood up angrily and said, "You might as well ask why Pinmon received a human partner, when others haven't! It's not something decided by us Ben. If it was, then almost every DigiKnight would have a partner. The bond between partners is decided by fate, at birth. You may not have known it when you were born, but Pinmon here has known. He has waited almost 20 years for you to arrive, so just accept it, don't try to find the reason behind it." I simply nodded my head, and looked at my feet in shame. I hadn't meant to be disrespectful in any way, and I certainly hadn't meant to hurt Pinmon's feelings, but I had done it all the same.
I felt a hand grasp my shoulder. I looked up into a pair of bright blue eyes, "It's okay
Ben," said Pinmon, "you were just curious, there's no way you could have known how lucky that you and I are to have a bond." I nodded and looked back up at Angemon. He sat back down and sighed, "I'm sorry I had an outburst like that, and I hope you realize it's nothing personal." "Shall we proceed then?" asked Andromon. Etemon spoke up then, "There's a question that's still gotta be asked, uh-huh." "You are correct Etemon," said Angemon, "Ben there is one more question that needs to be answered before we proceed. You must answer with no doubts. Do you understand?" I nodded, and then was asked the question by Beelzemon, "Ben, do you wanna be a DigiKnight?" I was surprised at this question, I mean that's why I was here right?, to become a DigiKnight? So of course I'd want to be one..., didn't I?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
BOO HA HA! Yes I know this ending kind of leaves you hanging. But what did you expect, I get almost no reviews. So I don't know if I should make improvements, or leave things as then are. Come on, send a review, I don't even care if you wanna flame me, just do it!

He sat back down and sighed, "I'm sorry I had an outburst like that, and I hope you realize it's nothing personal." "Shall we proceed then?" asked Andromon. Etemon spoke up then, "There's a question that's still gotta be asked, uh-huh." "You are correct Etemon," said Angemon, "Ben there is one more question that needs to be answered before we proceed. You must answer with no doubts. Do you understand?" I nodded, and then was asked the question by Beelzemon, "Ben, do you wanna be a DigiKnight?" I was surprised at this question, I mean that's why I was here right?, to become a DigiKnight? So of course I'd want to be one..., didn't I?

BOO HA HA! Yes I know this ending kind of leaves you hanging. But what did you expect, I get almost no reviews. So I don't know if I should make improvements, or leave things as then are. Come on, send a review, I don't even care if you wanna flame me, just do it!
