Disclaimer: It's in the first few chapters. Nothing has changed since then.
Like I said at the end of Chapter 11, this one will be in the digital world. So if you're confused, that will clear some stuff up. k?
The DigiSword
Chapter 12: Survivor
"I think he's waking up," said a voice.
"He's breathing! That's a good sign!"
"Hey kid, open your eyes."
"We believe in you, Takeru..."
TK opened his eyes just barely. "Huh? Am I...dead?"
"No, Takeru, you are very much alive," said a familiar robotic voice.
"An-Andromon?" he asked.
"Yes, Takeru. It is I, Andromon," the Android smiled.
"Thanks, but call me TK," he smiled.
"You gave us quite a scare there, kid," said another voice.
"Ogremon?! You're here too?"
"Yes, and so am I," said another familiar voice, which TK hadn't heard for years. He turned around to see...
"LEOMON??!"
"You have woken up. I'm impressed," smiled the lion. "Not too many live through a Dokugumon's attack after three days."
"THREE DAYS!?" yelled TK. "IT'S BEEN THREE DAYS?!"
"Whoa, calm down, kid," came another voice. "You've had a rough ride."
"Pixiemon?!" TK was about to faint, when another person came in. "I see you have woken up, Takaishi."
"Gennai," TK said, less surprised. "Where am I, Gennai? And where's Patamon?"
"Your partner is outside with Elecmon," smiled Gennai. "The red guy wanted a rematch at the Tug-of-War." TK laughed a little at the memory of his first time in primary village, when Patamon and Elecmon had a tug-of-war match to decide who's better. At that moment, Patamon flew in.
"TK!!!!!!!!!!!"
"PATAMON!"
The two hugged each other. Just then, the boy noticed something.
"Where are my clothes?" he asked. He was only wearing his boxers.
"Your clothes were torn and shredded, not to mention drenched," Gennai told him. "There are some spare robes over there, if you need some."
"Okay. I'll just wear those, then," he sighed, taking a robe that looked like Gennai's and put it on. 'Man, this is embarassing. If Kari saw me...' TK's eyes went wide. "KARI! WHAT HAPPENED TO KARI?!"
"Sorry, buddy, but you're all we found," said Pixiemon.
"Crap, that means Phantomon took her and Gatomon away," he muttered. Tears were beginning to come to his eyes.
"But that means you were on the Server Continent," gasped Ogremon.
"Yeah. What's your point?"
"TK, we're on File Island," Leomon told him. TK's eyes went wide open. "FILE ISLAND?!"
"Yes," said another few voices. They were Yokomon, from the village that they stopped after the digidestined children's first night in the Digiworld. "Let us tell you how we found you!"
~*~Flashback~*~
"The Vilemon are still flying around outside," said Leomon, scouting the area around Mt. Miharashi. "There are too many of them for us to cope with."
"Yes, I agree entirely, my friend," said Gennai. "What do you say, Centaurumon?"
"I say you're right," he sighed. "Who should get the water today?"
"I'll volunteer!" said Andromon. He picked up the bucket and walked to the spring atop Mt. Miharashi.
"And the fish?"
"I'll round 'em up!" laughed Elecmon.
Later...
"Okay! SUPER THUNDERSTRIKE!" yelled Elecmon as he fired a ray of electricity at the Ocean. Fish flew out of the water landing in his net.
"Haha! Great shot as usual!" Elecmon laughed, proud of himself. He walked over to his net to get fish when he saw a figure in the crowd of fish. "Wha--"
"What's taking Elecmon so long?" complained Ogremon. "I'm starving!"
"He does seem late, doesn't he?" Leomon thought out loud.
"I know Elecmon's small, but every time he gets the food, it takes approximately 20.181 minutes to come back. It has been 35.2 minutes and he's still not here," said Andromon.
"Well, in those 15.021 minutes, anything could've happened," said Gennai. "Anyone wanna go look for him?"
"I can," said Leomon. "Unless anyone else wishes to volunteer."
"I can too," smiled Andromon.
"Me too," said Pixiemon.
"I may be of service," Centauromon told him.
"I'm still hungry!" yelled Ogremon.
"Fine then, Sir Whinealot! You find him!" yelled Pixiemon. Ogremon shrugged and picked up his bone.
"Fine! I will!"
Later...
"Hey guys! I'm back!"
"ELECMON!" Everyone ran over to the small red digimon. "What kept you?!"
"Guys, you won't believe what I found when I went fishing!"
"I'm curious," said Leomon and Andromon at the same time.
"Ogremon, bring him in!" Ogremon came in carrying a limp body. The boy was clutching his Patamon tightly, barely breathing.
"Oh my god!" gasped Gennai. "We need to heal him!"
~*~end Flashback~*~
"You were hanging on to dear life, my friend," smiled Gennai. "We all found you a master healer to help you out."
"And that would be...?"
"May I reveal myself?" asked a voice.
"Yes, my friend," Leomon smiled. An all too familiar figure flew in. TK's eyes bugged out and his mouth went wide at the digimon that had only just revealed itself.
"W-W-Wizardmon?!"
"Takeru, my old friend. It has been a long time."
"Wizardmon! Man, it has!" TK smiled. "Wait, last time we saw you, you were a ghost haunting the TV station in Tokyo. What happened?"
"My friend. I was not reconfigured for a reason. Had I been, then I would not have been able to warn you about the Digimon Emperor. Ever since that purpose was served, the Guardians allowed me passage back into the living."
"I see," TK smiled. "It's a shame that I'm the one who ended up here. Kari and Gatomon both miss you."
"I know," frowned Wizardmon. "But we are fortunate that it wasn't them."
"Huh?" TK asked confused.
"Because of this," Gennai smiled, a katana in his hand. "You wield the Digisword now."
"Actually, Kari and I pulled it out together," TK told him.
"I see. Well, we'll need her if we are to summon Destiny again."
"Right! I'll go after her!" TK yelled, running towards the exit. Gennai simply kicked him in the stomach, stopping the boy in his tracks.
"Ow..." gasped TK. "What was that for?!"
"Us going after Kari right now is not what I meant," Gennai told him. "If we break into the fortress, Kari will be killed for sure. We must wait. TK, since Destiny is unable to be summoned without the both of you, you must rely on your own skills to fight. And that means serious training, in fighting and in stealth."
"But what if Kari dies before my training is over?" asked TK, worried.
"She won't," said Wizardmon. "The Digimon Emperor will want to do something with her before he shows his face again in the real world, and that'll probably be in a couple months. That's about all you need."
"Okay. Wait, did you say DIGIMON EMPEROR?!"
"Yes, TK," Gennai told him.
"No, it can't be. Ken's one of the nicest guys I know now! He can't be evil again!"
"It isn't Ken," said Patamon. "He looks exactly like the Evil Ken, but this guy's pure evil and has these really weird powers."
"Yah! He can make multiple copies of any digimon and use 'em for evil!" said Ogremon.
"There's an army of Flymon and Vilemon outside of Mt. Miharashi. We want to get out but we can't," said Leomon.
"This place is known as the Miharashi Sanctuary," Gennai told TK. "All good digimon are welcome here. However, I'm afraid it's not over until Neo-Emperor's defeated. That is why you must stay and train, as well as Patamon."
"Okay then," TK sighed. "When do we start?"
"Tomorrow at sunrise," Gennai told him. "At Infinity Mountain."
"Wait, I thought you said we couldn't get out," said TK.
Gennai began to explain. "There's a secret passage to Infinity mountain from the Miharashi Sanctuary. Also, if you're wondering about Elecmon and Andromon getting out, it is simply because the Vilemon's vision depends upon movement, and Flymon can't see very well in the dark. As long as you move slowly in the cover of darkness, you're safe getting out."
"That's good. What time is it?"
"About 7 P.M. Who's getting the water today?"
"I will!" said Ogremon.
"I'll catch some fish," offered Leomon. The two ran out of the sanctuary.
"Penny for your thoughts?" asked Wizardmon, staring at TK.
"I'm just worried about Kari," TK sighed. "I hope she's alright. Otherwise...I don't know what I'd do."
"She'll be fine," Wizardmon told him. "Kari and Gatomon are strong. They'll pull through."
"I hope so," TK sighed. "Because I never got the chance to tell her."
"Tell her what?" asked Patamon.
"That...that I love her..." sobbed TK.
*Hehe, evil cliffie! Well, TK's alive, so no worries! Next chappie will be about Kari, so until then, please review! PLEASE! I'd like at least five more before I post the next one. Heehee, ain't I generous;)
