Warrior's Honour
~ 'Two down, three to go,' ~ V said as the digidestined walked along a rocky path.
'I never knew you were a maths whiz,' Violet thought back. ~ 'Violet, you mustn't forget the sword.' ~ 'Why, it was written to Mike. And I ain't no messenger girl.' ~ 'So you are one then.' ~ '...Eh?' Mary looked at her friend, "Violet, is something wrong?"
Violet shook her head so violently her hair started spinning round her head. The boys, as usual, ignored them. The two girls were starting to get annoyed about this, and they'd told each other that they wouldn't start a conversation with the male species.
As the path grew rockier and rockier, Violet gasped, "We always choose luxury destinations, don't we? First it was running from a mad Roarermon, then it was falling off a cliff, then Tidal Wave Beach, then Tuskmon's cave, then a mountain, then a factory with wild Mekanorimon inside, then Gazimon Playground, then Witchmon's fortress, then the Digiworld North Pole for Steve and Mike, the mad Roarermon's home for me, the Digi Ruins for you and John, then Infinity Mountain, then `Paradise Island`, then the beach of Sapphiremon, then the Forest of Thorns, and now the Rocks That Pretend to be a Path. When are we going to find a five-star hotel?"
"Or a beach with really handsome lifeguards," Mary dreamed. Violet sighed.
Just then, Mythicmon spotted something in the distance. He swooped onto his favourite perch (John's shoulder). He ruffled his feathers and said, "There's a cave down there. But there's also some kind of wooden thing with bits sticking out of it."
"Bow before the master of descriptions," Violet muttered. Mythicmon glared at her, and she gave him a grin.
"I'm not sure about the wooden thing, but we can always check out the cave. If it's safe, we could rest there," Steve told them.
At the word `rest`, Mary immediately perked up. Violet smiled at her, then turned to the boys, "OK, how about us girls check it out, for a change? We never get to do anything."
Steve looked like he had a different idea, but Mary gave him a sweet smile that she'd been practising. He grinned, and nodded. Violet scooped up Pearlmon in her arms, and they walked ahead.
****************************************************************************
When the girls had left, Mike gave a small chuckle. Steve turned to look at him, "What?"
"Isn't it strange that you gave in when Mary gave you that look? I think that you might have a crush on her," Mike said, trying to keep his face straight. John hid his grin behind his computer.
"Mike, you know you have a crush on Violet!"
"Do I, now?"
"Yes, you do! What about that whole `Steve, I have to help her` thing?"
"I was just worried about her!"
Violet, Pearlmon, Mary and Jewelmon crouched behind a boulder, listening. Then each of them gave a little snort of laughter. Then they heard someone coming to investigate, and scampered away.
****************************************************************************
As soon as they were out of earshot, they all exploded into fits of giggles. When they reached the cave, they were still screeching with laughter. Then Violet noticed the wooden thing.
"Mary, we use that in my martial arts class sometimes! Our teacher spins it round, and we have to either hit each of the bars as they come, or we have to dodge all of them!"
A voice came from the cave, "That's right. I use it to heighten my skills, and now I will use those skills to defeat you!"
****************************************************************************
John frowned at his computer's screen, "What's that?"
Steve looked at him, "What's what?"
"There's a dot on here that's a different colour to the usual dots."
Mike joined in, "Excuse me?"
"I set up a program which tells me what's in our area. The blue dots are us, the green dots are our Digimon, the white dots are good Digimon, and the black dots are bad Digimon. I've never seen red dots before, but there's one where the cave is."
Snowmon growled, "It can only be trouble. Come on Steve, let's go!" Steve hesitated. His Digimon looked at him, "What's the matter?"
The blonde sighed, "The girls might think that we think that they can't handle it. If they thought that, they wouldn't be in a good mood."
Mike realised what he was getting at, "Violet is always dangerous when she's mad."
Steve nodded. They were just pondering what to do, when John said, "The red dot's rushing at the girls. I think that any second now..." He paused, and then they heard Mary scream.
****************************************************************************
The Digimon looked like a woman in her early twenties. She was wearing a pair of tight black trousers, a black sleeveless, a pair of black gloves, and a pair of black boots. Over her clothes, she wore black body armour, and a black sheath was slung on her left side. A hilt of a black sword stuck out of it. A quiver of arrows was on her back, and she held a black bow in her left hand. A black helmet covered the top half of her face, and her black hair was so long it reached her hip.
She announced, "My name is Warriormon. I am one of the most powerful warriors in the Digiworld, and few have escaped my Warrior's Sword. Those that have were soon struck down by my arrows, and whilst I work for no-one, I am not afraid to kill."
Mary promptly opened her mouth and screamed. Warriormon glared at her and raised one hand, "Warrior's Revenge!" Thousands of small balls of black fire shot out of it and knocked her down. Violet frowned and leapt at her. The Digimon knocked her out of the way, and drew her black sword. She aimed the blade at Pearlmon and shouted, "Warrior's Sword!"
She knocked the Digimon out easily, and was about to go in for the kill, when Violet grabbed her arm. The Digimon spun round, and smiled, "Finally, someone who wants to fight me. I bet you hate me."
Violet nodded, ignoring V's voice, which pleaded, ~ 'Violet, she's trying to get you into a trap.' ~
Warriormon's smile widened, "I'll tell you what. If you can defeat me in a sword fight, I'll give you your crest."
A puzzled look came across Violet's face, "My crest?"
"Yes. Your crest is in my cave, but I refuse to give it to someone who doesn't deserve it."
Violet bit her lip, and then she looked up at Warriormon, "Alright. I accept your challenge."
Warriormon raised her left hand and threw away her bow. Then she drew a sword out of thin air. Violet gasped. It was the same one Mike had had, except it didn't have the crest of Protection on it. Instead, it had three jewels set into the hilt, one a ruby, one an emerald, one a diamond. The Digimon tossed it to her, and she caught it. Warriormon announced, "Let us begin." And neither of them saw Jewelmon fly silently away.
****************************************************************************
Steve was pacing nervously. The girls were taking too long to get back. Mike had tried to say something to stop him being so worried, but it had just ended up starting another argument.
Just then, Jewelmon landed on a rock in front of him. He blinked, and then he noticed that she was alone, "Jewelmon? Where's the girls?"
She grinned sheepishly, "Well..." She trailed off, and then started talking so fast they could only just keep up with her, "We found a Warriormon who knocked out Mary and Pearlmon and she's tricked Violet into having a sword fight with her so that she can have her crest." She stopped, panting.
There was a moment of silence, and then Steve and Mike screamed, "WHAT?"
John sighed. He already knew what was going on. He'd been watching it on his computer. Now he joined in the conversation...
****************************************************************************
Violet, however, had no time for conversations. Warriormon was attacking her full force, but somehow she had managed to match her, blow for blow. Then Warriormon managed to scrape Violet's side. That was it. Violet hurled herself at the Digimon, and then she heard V saying, ~ 'Violet, I can take care of this clown. Let me fight.' ~
'OK. You can probably do a better job than I can,' Violet thought back.
Suddenly the sword started glowing. Violet gripped it, and then V was holding it. V controlled her whole body, and she used that power well. She swung the sword straight up, so that Warriormon had to use all her strength in a desperate parry. Feinting to the left, V then swung round in a circle that forced the Digimon to leap back several metres. She followed them up with several fast slashes, until she had the warrior Digimon trapped against the cave wall.
****************************************************************************
The three boys and four Digimon watched with open mouths. Only Mike could speak, and all he could say was a hoarse "Wow".
****************************************************************************
V held the sword near Warriormon's throat. The Digimon smiled, "You win," she dropped her voice and whispered, "even though you're not Violet."
V blinked in surprise, and then she smiled. Then it was Violet holding the sword. She looked at Warriormon with wide eyes. Then the Digimon managed to pull herself away, and beckoned to the girl, who followed. They walked into the cave, and then they were confronted by a gigantic engraving of Violet's crest of Inspiration. The huge candle seemed to call to the girl, who stepped forwards. As soon as she touched it, a beam of reddy-brown light shot from it to her tag.
The whole engraving started to glow, and when the light faded, it had vanished. The whole thing had been transported to her tag. She walked out, and was confronted by Mike. He was looking at her in a strange way, and then he poked her, "OK, start explaining. Where did you learn to fight like that?"
Violet felt her hands get sweaty, before Warriormon put a hand on her shoulder, "Some people have hidden talents. I can sometimes sense them if they are strong, and I sense you have a strange one."
Mike raised an eyebrow, but turned around and went to tell the others. Mary had managed to come round eventually, and she waved at Violet, "Violet, Mythicmon spotted something moving in the bushes. We need to catch it, so we need to hurry up!"
Violet began to walk towards her, but Warriormon stopped her, "Wait, I want to give something to you." She held out a belt, with the sword Violet/V had used in a sheath on it. Violet took it, and was about to ask why when Warriormon grinned and told her, "You'll need it, and so will your... other self. It's not easy having a guardian in you, so you'll need help."
"`Guardian`?" Violet repeated. Warriormon nodded, then motioned that their meeting was over. Violet strapped the belt around her waist, and thanked Warriormon. Then she turned around, and ran towards her friends.
Warriormon watched her go, and muttered, "The digidestined have so much expected of them. I hope they'll make it..."
WILL THE OTHER DIGIDESTINED FIND OUT ABOUT V? AND WHAT DOES WARRIORMON MEAN BY `GUARDIAN`? FIND OUT ON THE NEXT DIGIMON: DIGITAL MONSTERS!
Author's note: You know what? This took me the shortest time to write so far (2 days. #faints #), but I think it wasn't the best. In case you haven't noticed, I have set things to write about when a particular character is the main one (e.g. Steve is always doing something to do with leadership/torture. Drowning, for instance), and this one didn't really measure up to Violet. Hey, and if anyone can name every episode Violet was talking about WITHOUT looking at the episode list, they get a cyber cookie! #Pulls out HUGE box of cyber cookies #
Random Person: There's a lot of cookies there, Lady. They can easily wait.
