Chapter 2
To Odaiba
Seiji: Well here it is. The next chapter. So who wants to do the disclaimer?
*Everyone shoots up hands*
Seiji: Alright, Matt you do it.
Matt: Seiji does not own digimon or any of the characters here except a few of them. Although it would be nice if he did. Hey can you make me cool.
Seiji: Yeah! No problem. (For those who haven't realized yet, Seiji is me.) On with the fic...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
2 months have passed since the attacks have begun. Now the attacks are concentrated at Odaiba and Tokyo. Seiji has been able to defeat the invaders in Tokyo. Although his identity still remains a mystery, his presence has become known to the rest of the world. The world now lives in fear of both him and the invaders.
It was Christmas Eve and Seiji was sitting at a table with four other children around it. They were out in the garden in front of his house. Their parents sat at another table nearby.
"We really never talked about this but what do you all think of that boy who fights those bad guys?" A girl with shoulder length black hair said. Her eyes were black as well.
"I think he's fine Ayame. He's protecting us and so he should not be dangerous." Seiji said.
"But Onii-chan, he has such scary powers. What makes you think he won't attack us?" Ayame questioned her older brother.
"I have to agree with her, Seiji, who knows he may not even be human." A boy with brown hair and clear blue eyes said. His hair was somewhat long
"Tetsuo, think for a moment will you! If he really wanted us dead we would be dead by now. Look even the army can't hold those invaders off but he can. He would thrash our whole army if he wanted to." Seiji snapped back defending himself.
"Why are you so worked up Seiji, but what you said is true." A boy who looks like Tetsuo said, his hair however was short and he was smaller than Tetsuo.
"Satoshi's right Onii-chan, I never seen you like this before." A small girl said before taking a sip from the cup of cola in her hands. Her hair was short, wavy and you guessed it, black. Her eyes too were black.
"Sorry, Miho. Your Onii-chan just has a lot on his mind right now." Seiji said messing up her hair with one hand. 'Seiji, cool it. These people here don't know your other identity. Yeah, it's true that people fear you and blame you for the invasion. All that nonsense about you being the one they want to fight. They just don't understand.'
"Can we just change the subject, we're supposed to be partying, it will be Christmas soon." Seiji exclaimed.
*Half and hour later*
A portal appeared on the road.
'Damn, they came here of all places. I guess I have no choice.' Seiji thought as he stood up.
"Everyone get inside the house now!" His father shouted. Seiji just stood his ground. Almost everyone was inside by now. "Seiji, get in here now! It's too dangerous out there."
"Otou-san, stay inside, I'll handle this." Seiji said as he closed his eyes and glowed white. In a split second he was in his white T-shirt, blue jeans, blue buttoned up shirt, black gloves and sneakers. His hair was long and tied up in a ponytail. Everyone just stared in shock.
A lone figure stepped out of the portal. "I knew I would find you here Guardian. My name is Xelkar and I am here to exterminate you." The invader said confidently. He seems better built than the previous ones and his armor and robes were more detailed.
"That's what you think." Seiji shouted as he ran at a high speed towards the invader. Just as he was about to punch Xelkar in the face, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. "What, no way."
"I'm different from those you have faced before, I am trained to fight. I finally managed to get our entire race to realize that those guns are useless, we will have to resort to the primitive style of fighting to face you Guardians." Xelkar said swinging his sword to his left after he stabbed Seiji with it slashing his side wide open.
Blood spilled onto the road. Seiji dropped to his knees, overwhelmed with pain. 'I wasn't expecting that' he thought falling flat. 'Lost too much blood I think, I'm losing it. Seiji closed his eyes and was slowly losing consciousness.
Xelkar slowly advanced towards Seiji's family, confident that the Guardian was no more.
"Onii-chan!" Ayame shouted. "Don't die."
At that moment Seiji's eyes shot open. His life flashed before him. All that suffering he had been through was coming back to him. His family, his friends. 'I can't let them down, I must protect them and the rest of the world. I can't die now, I still have much to accomplish. I have come this far and I'm not giving up yet.' Seiji thought getting up.
A golden light appeared in his left hand, he waved it across his stomach and the wound was healed. No scar could be seen. A white light erupted from his right hand and when it subsided, a katana was there in his hand. "I'm not done with you yet."
Xelkar turned around to his amazement the boy was standing. "You should be dead." He charged at Seiji and soon they were in a heated battle.
Seiji was fast and attacked constantly with a series of slashes, kicks, punches and thrusts. Xelkar was having a hard time dodging and blocking the blows. His long sword was a little heavy but he could still move it fast enough.
Seiji found and opening and kicked him hard in the side. Xelkar stumbled back only to find Seiji airborne attempting to slash him in half. He brought his sword up to block the blow and threw Seiji back. As soon as Seiji landed he dashed forward again. Xelkar brought his sword to his side awaiting his chance but Seiji disappeared when he tried a horizontal slash to the left, he spun around and saw Seiji above him. He tried to defend himself but it was too late. He staggered back clutching his left shoulder.
"Damn it, I didn't know you were this strong. You even broke my armor. It seems I have underestimated you humans, I'll let you off for now." Xelkar said fading into a portal behind him.
Seiji fell back on the ground exhausted. 'Even though I did not shoot any energy but healing sure does take a lot of it.' He sat up breathing heavily. 'This is bad, the invaders are switching to armed combat. I need to get stronger.'
Ayame, Tetsuo, Satoshi and Miho ran up to him.
"It's you, that boy, it's really you." Ayame exclaimed.
"I never expected this" Tetsuo said helping Seiji up.
"Well believe it!" Seiji said.
"You monster!" Seiji's mother shouted. "Where's my son? What have you done to him? Return him to me."
"Kaa-san, it really is me." Seiji said. 'Now I got a lot of explaining to you.' He thought.
"Then what is with your power and that sword?" His father questioned.
"The invaders take over worlds and kill entire races for fun. In each world there are Guardians, I'm a Guardian for this world. The Guardians all have the power that sleeps within them awakened, they get stronger through training and battles. But of course we're not immortals, we die as well you know. Many have fallen and so have their worlds." Seiji explained.
"But why you, a child, not someone else?" He questioned further.
"I'm not good at explaining this. Hey Remus, you there?" Seiji called out.
"Seiji, how many times do I have to tell you that can you be a bit more respectful?" A male voice echoed through the neighbourhood.
"Sorry, but anyway you're starting to sound like me when you talk. You don't sound like some wise sage you sounded like 2 years ago."
"I guess some of your traits just rubbed off on me after these years, I will do the explaining for you." The male voice answered.
"Well where shall I start? Oh, I'm a watcher from another world, one of many who watch over the worlds. Your world is one of the many I watch over. These invaders are from another world, they take over other worlds for two reasons, their resources and the pleasure of destroying life. We watchers can't kill them instead we choose Guardians. Your son has been chosen to be a Guardian, because of his strong heart. His determination is like no other. Well, anyway he is here to protect you, so do not fear him, instead support him. He receives strength when any one of you is in danger. Only if your life is threatened by the invaders will he receive extra burst of strength to protect you at all cost. You must accept him, if not your world shall fall and you all will die." The voice said.
"You are not fighting those guys on your own, onii-chan." Ayame shouted. "Count me in." Tetsuo said coolly. "You're not having all the fun to yourselves, are you?" Satoshi said beaming. "If Onii-chan and One-chan are in it, I'm in it." Miho said.
"No, it's too dangerous." Seiji said immediately.
"I beg to differ Seiji. You will need help, the Forahask are targeting you now because you are the strongest Guardian. These four have the potential to fight them. Their hearts are strong like yours." The watcher said.
"Fine, you four will start training. You can find the stuff I used to train in my room."
Lightning struck all of four of them. They screamed in fear but soon realize it didn't hurt. Soon it faded and the four of them, felt power flowing through their veins.
Ayame had two japanese short swords crossed and attached to the back of a belt around her hips.
Tetsuo had a blue long sword (A/N: Like Tidus' brotherhood in Final Fantasy X and I don't own that sword).
Satoshi had a silver staff.
Miho had gloves with clear orbs on it. The lightning faded away and the four stared at their weapons in amazement.
"Seiji, I have a mission for you. Go to the city you call Odaiba, there you will meet 8 children who will save another world from darkness. Do not worry about the invaders when you follow them to that world." The watcher said.
"Fine, who can I stay with? I know! I can stay with Tai and Hika-chan. Otou-san can you give them a call?" Seiji asked his father. His father just retreated into the house.
"Why can't everybody be granted power? Wouldn't it be easier?" Satoshi's and Tetsuo's mother asked in tears.
"There are those who would abuse the power granted to them. We can't let that happen so we choose those who are strong of heart. I got to go now." The voice said fading.
Someone cleared his throat behind them. All of them turned to see a man in a suit. "My name is Ryota Hajima. I am a member of a newly formed international organization. I have heard everything so far and I would wish to enlist the help of you five young children. The organization was formed to combat the Forahask but it seems you five are enough so we wish to assist you in any way. We could provide you with an apartment in Odaiba if you wish." The man said.
Just then Seiji's father came out of the house. "My brother says you can stay with them Seiji."
"I guess you could just send me some money every month so that I could pay my relatives for putting me up. Oh and can you help me with the paperwork? You know school and all those stuff. Can I go to Odaiba elementary and can you put me in the same class as my cousin Tai?" Seiji said.
"You guys stay here and train, I'm going to Odaiba alone, this way you all can concentrate on your training. They should be hunting me down over there, I just hope no one else gets hurt."
"Excuse me residents may I request that all of you keep this a secret. I do not want the whole world to know about this. If you tell we will take measures against you." Ryota said through a loud speaker.
*3 days later*
"Bye take care you guys." Seiji said from the train.
"Bye" Everybody else shouted from the platform. There were his parents, his siblings Ayame and Miho, his neighbours and best friends Tetsuo and Satoshi and their parents.
Seiji soon lost sight of them as the train traveled down the track. 'At least I get to start school afresh. Everybody used to hate me in the last one. Wonder if I will make any friends. Better not get to close to anyone or they will be in danger.'
Seiji fell asleep after a while. He woke up to rays of the sun shining on his face. He looked at his watch. "Whoa I slept for quite a while now." Seiji exclaimed.
"We will be reaching Odaiba soon, will all passengers please gather your belongings." A female voice said over the speakers
Seiji grabbed his backpack and another hand-held bag and got ready to alight.
"We have reached Odaiba station, will all passengers alight."
Seiji stepped out into the bright sunlight, he shielded his eyes with his hand.
"Seiji!"
"Huh?" Before he knew a brown-haired girl had jumped into his arms just as he dropped the leather bag.
"Hey there Hika-chan, how's my favourite cousin been?" Seiji said happily.
"Fine." She answered as he put her down.
"I haven't seen you since your 6th birthday, you certainly have grown quite a bit" He said ruffling her hair.
"Yeah and you have too, you must have gotten your height from your father, even Ayame is taller than me even though we're the same age." Kari said pushing his hand off gently
"Seiji, how've ya been?" Tai asked.
"Great, I see you haven't grown much." Seiji replied jokingly.
"Knock it off." Tai said a bit irritated.
"I know Seiji's grown a lot but can we go now? We can leave all the talking later in the car" Mrs. Kamiya asked.
"I'm sure Seiji would want to rest, it's been a long trip you know." Mr. Kamiya said.
"Sure!" The three kids answered.
'Wonder how long it will be before they find out.' Seiji thought getting into the car.
