Time Warp
The Origin of Wizardmon... pt 2
Ranamon walked, sobbing, through the forest below the cliff. "I can't believe Mercurymon would use me like that! How could I have been so stupid? How? How? How? How?" She tripped on something hard with a loud, boooonnnngggg. "OOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!" Ranamon howled, tears streaming from her eyes. Then she stopped for a moment. "Wait a minute, logs don't 'bong', they thump or thud. Metal 'bongs.'" Ranamon cleared the leaves away from the pile. "MERCURYMON!!!!" Ranamon gasped.
The warrior of steel had a sleep ofuda still in place on his face. But if Mercurymon was here, then who was that? Suddenly Ranamon had a flashback of Kathy shouting, "DUPLICATE FRACTAL CODE! DIGITIZE!!!" "That !@#$%!!!!!" Ranamon shouted. "I'LL KILL HER!!!" The warrior of water sobbed. She ripped the ofuda off of Mercurymon's face. "MERCURYMON!!! WAKE UP!!!!! PLLLEAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!" Ranamon howled.
"Don't... make... such a din Ranamon. Its unbecoming..." Mercurymon said groggily getting to his feet. "What happened?"
"We were ambushed!! That human girl changed into you some how and tried to turn us against each other!!!" Ranamon sobbed, throwing her arms around Mercurymon.
"Then lets continue as we planned. We'll get her back for this." Mercurymon said, his lips curling in a sneer. He held Ranamon comfortingly in his arms. "We'll get her."
"I just hope we're not too late!" Ranamon exclaimed gratefully.
~meanwhile~
Kathy sailed down to the castle. She swept in after the other legendary warriors. "I FOUND MY BEAST SPIRIT!" Kathy exclaimed, sailing down to the ground in front of the castle and dashing in. "IFOUNDIT!IFOUNDIT!IFOUNDIT!" She shouted, running in after her fellow warriors. "I found my beast spirit!" Kathy exclaimed.
She skidded into the room and realized that she had interrupted a conversation with one of the great powers that be in the digital world, Seraphimon, angel of Courage, Friendship, Hope, and keeper of the holy crest of creativity, her crest. "Woops! Sorry I interrupted."
"Wow! You found your beast spirit?" Zoe demanded. "That is so cool! Have you tried it yet?"
"Where have you BEEN??" Demanded WhiteVeemon. "I was about to perform Jeri's Lament without you!" She exclaimed.
"Sorry!" Kathy huffed. "You guys, I managed to put Mercurymon and Arbormon out cold. Ranamon's currently bawling her eyes out and Grumblemon is grumbling because he can't find anybody!" Kathy was laughing hysterically. "Great flaming sovereigns you should have seen them!"
Seraphimon and Sorcerormon stared at them.
"Oh, hi, my name is Kathy." Kathy blushed deeply. "Pleased to meet you Seraphimon I've heard some really nice things about you."
"Are you a D-Harper? And a Digidestined?" Seraphimon's eyebrows went up.
"Um... yes and yes, but my digivice makes it hard to Spirit Evolve. I keep blacking out. ." Kathy looked at her watch. Ten minutes to go before the attack was scheduled to begin.
"Then how bout a trade off. I will fix it so that your digivice will allow you to digivolve and spirit evolve if you will sing for us?" Seraphimon begged.
Kathy thought for a moment. "I suppose that I could. Do you have a piano?"
"Yes I do." Seraphimon pointed one enormous finger towards a piano in the corner. "Over there. I used to love playing, but as you can see, my hands are a little too big for the keys."
"Then you've got yourself a deal!" Kathy exclaimed, handing her digivice up to Seraphimon.
The enormous angel lifted it into his hands. He held absolutely still for a moment, then began to hum. The hum was flat, meditative rather than musical. Her Force Three began to glow green, then it reformed into a new digivice. It wasn't quite a D-Tector, but it wasn't quite a Force three either. She thought that it looked like an old watch that her father had given her and broke. There was a clip that allowed it to hook easily to her belt. It had a compass built into the upper left hand corner. The three buttons were on either side of the digivice. The grips were black, and had tiger strips.
"Here is your new digivice. I call it a D-Chrono." Seraphimon told her. "It will also allow you to go through the Spectrum Gate unharmed by Temporal Anomalies."
"Thank you very much, WhiteVeemon, take my guitar will you? We'll be playing, 'Its All Been Done.'" Kathy told her digimon.
"Sure." Kathy's partner took the guitar handed her.
Kathy sat down at the piano. She flexed her fingers. Despite the growth in her wrist that impaired mobility, piano was still her best instrument.
I met you before the fall of Rome
And I begged you to let me take you home
You were wrong, I was right
You said goodbye, I said goodnight
Kathy smiled, because she had met Bokumon before, even if he didn't remember her. When she returned, she would be sad to leave this bunch, especially if they no longer were alive in her time-period.
It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before
Her message was to Bokumon, to Gabumon, to Togemon and anybody else who she met that would become digidestined. A time paradox was at work. It had been from the moment she had entered the digital world, maybe even from the moment she had been born.
I knew you before the west was won
And I heard you say the past
was much more fun
You go your way, I go mine
But I'll see you next time
She also knew why Bokumon had mistaken her for a Legendary Warrior. He knew that she was one even before she did. That was why he had seemed so sad, but had stayed with them, to guide Kathy to her destiny, it all lead up to now. And if reincarnation were truly real, then Kathy would see him again in another lifetime.
It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before
Kathy knew now. She had gone back in time, thanks to Bokumon, she existed to save him. She had gone to the digital world, been cursed, and overcome so much that she was known as the Digimon Empress. Kathy was a living saint in the digital world.
And if I put my fingers here, and if I say
"I love you, dear"
And if I play the same three chords,
Will you just yawn and say
And if Kathy had met him in this time period, then she had left something behind for Bokumon, to reassure him that she would return and to tell him where to look for her. The place to look was Mesa Digi, near the Trailmon tracks and the rock that looked like a Trailmon with a hole that whistled. The sound was like the lonely cry of a Trailmon's whistle.
It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before
Yes, as soon as she had a moment alone, she would record a CD to Bokumon, telling him where to look, when, and why. She was good at instructional songs. Kathy would help Bokumon, as soon as she figured out how to counter the corrupted Legendary Warrior's offense.
Alone and bored on a thirtieth-century night
Will I see you on The Price Is Right?
Will I cry? Will I smile?
As you run down the aisle?
That was about the time that the door burst inward on its hinges. "SAY YOUR PRAYERS HUMAN WHELP!" Mercurymon bellowed.
"How dare you try to break up me and Mercurymon! You silly little human! I'll make you pay for that!" Ranamon growled at her.
Seraphimon, recovering though he was, made his fateful challenge. "You will not come a single step closer to these children, if you do, you will have to pay the price."
"Listen old man! You don' tell us wha' tuh do no mo'!" Arbormon challenged them. "We got a bone tuh pick wid dat humon Harper!"
"What he say!" Grumblemon agreed. "She trick us and knock us out!"
It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before
Kathy gulped, but she knew what had to be done.
"Sorcerimon! Get them out of here!" Seraphimon told him.
"But..."
"My purpose is done here." Seraphimon told Sorcerimon.
Kathy closed her eyes in resignation. She couldn't change history. Seraphimon would die now, then again, and then he'd become a digidestined. He would sacrifice himself to defeat Devimon. He would destroy the strongest Dark Master of them all, doing what Kathy had failed to do. He would become a Legend. Had Seraphimon known what his future would be? Did he know that this would not be the end?
Seraphimon turned to Mercurymon. "Witness the might of a Holy Angel! SEVEEEEEENNNNN HEAVENSSSS!!!!!!"
There was a flash of light as Mercurymon reflected the blow. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Right on time, Zoe, darling Zoe, jumped up and grabbed the egg just before it would have flown out of sight.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" Sorcerimon cried.
"But what about you?" Tommy asked worriedly.
"I'll hold them off! Run for it!" Sorcerimon told them.
"This time." Kathy grinned maliciously. "There is no running away. EXECUTE NATURAL BEAST EVOLUTION!! KATMON!" Katmon was beautiful. She looked like a tiger standing on two legs with a humanoid face, blood red fur and ebony stripes. She had a flowing mane of orange hair, suspiciously like Piedmon's. Her eyes were the same color as Myotismon's. Four Trump swords clinked into place on her back. And her own sword ran along her spine. Kathy had long, retractable claws made of chrome-digizoid. Her ears looked like the edges of Myotismon's mask. Twin bat wings erupted from her shoulders, black and sleek and beautiful.
"My, the hatchling has fledged." Mercurymon sneered. "Too bad it won't do you any good."
"Says you! Crystal Cloud!!" Sorcerimon shouted. Shards of crystal materialized and shot from his staff.
"Generous Mirror!" Sorcerimon leaned against the deflection of his own blast. However, because he was an ultimate and Mercurymon was a champion, Sorcerimon was only Devolved. By that time the doors on Trailmon Kettle had closed, they were out of Mercurymon's reach.
Kathy grabbed Wizardmon by the shoulders and carried him out of the terminal. "LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Her voice was deeper. The inflection was familiar. This was why she could not attack Myotismon. Her ultimate form was almost identical, although feminine. Her physical appearance was a blending of Myotismon and Piedmon. And her voice and inflection were feminine versions of Myotismon's.
"Set me down in the forest. You need to stay with the others." Wizardmon told her. Then he blushed. "Thanks, for saving my life. I'm just sorry that I've failed Orphanimon."
"Not your fault. Things like this just happen." Kathy told him. She set Wizardmon down in the trees behind the castle. Then she sailed up into the air. "GOOD BYE WIZARDMON!! GOOD LUCK!!"
"I WILL! AND THANK YOU!!" Wizardmon flew off into the sunset, not to reappear for another ten years, when Myotismon's army went on the rampage, to be immortalized by Kathy and Veedramon in the Ballad of the Eighth Child.
Kathy turned and dove into the tunnel after Trailmon Kettle. Twist! Turn! Left! Right! Down! Up! She followed the blur of yellow! "TAKUYA! KOUJI!" She shouted after them.
"WE'RE DOWN HERE!!" Takuya shouted at her. "FOLLOW THE TRAILMON!!"
"I'M COMING!" Kathy called. She flapped her mighty wings, putting on one last burst of speed, before glide landing neatly inside of the Train Digimon. Then Zoe pulled Kathy into her arms, their tears mixing in shared sorrow and relief.
