Thank you for all the reviews! Again, thank you Corran for doing the
editing!
Flameshe: FORGIVE ME!! I didn't know there were errors!! (PS: The dictionary at my house is about as thick as a two layer cake, so I sort of like to avoid it when possible...) Anyway, here's the story!
Crossing Paths
The Past, a Legend, and Holy Mons
*You know, right before I jumped off that log I was sitting on and Spirit Digivolved to Lucifer, I did feel a little strange...* Lucifer confessed as we continued walking behind Mysticmon through the rubble streets of his now all but completely demolished town.
*Could be that even if you hadn't jumped, you would have returned to being Lucifer again,* Bee suggested, *I remember that right before I Digivolved back to being a Beelzemon that every part of me wanted to Digivolve back. It was as if...*
*As if who you really were was calling out to you, commanding you to Digivolve, and there was no way to fight it.* Black interrupted.
*Black, you just took the words right out of my head ,* Bee stated, slightly nervous.
*It could be you're supposed to be in your current forms permanently,* I stated, *I just hope Bee and Black don't get stuck as Chaos Lord...*
*I doubt we will,* Black replied.
*Yeah, if we were supposed to stick as Chaos Lord, then we'd be stuck as him right now,* Bee laughed.
*You're probably right... Whoa! That's Mysticmon's place?!* I jumped as we came to a semi-huge mansion covered in green and gold. It looked like some kind of ancient tomb dedicated to a great Digi-God or something...
"Here, great Lucifer, is the shrine I have called my humble home these past hundred years," Mysticmon sighed. "Inside is where I shall tell you all that had transpired since your last appearance here 5 million years ago..."
"F...five..." I gulped.
"Million..." Bee gulped.
"Years ago?!" we both snapped in unison, gawking over at Lucifer.
*Hey! I have no clue what the old mon's talking about!* Lucifer protested. After sticking our jaws back in place, our little tour group moved inside.
Inside, though, all our jaws hit the floor again. There were gold statues of great Gods, green paintings of feasts, marble staircases, beautifully designed tile mosaics, and about half dozen other such things that definitely made it look and feel like a church for Digimon.
*Holy...* I gasped, looking over at a statue of the Crimson Items, Lucifer, and Chaos Lord. *Guys.... You really need to take a look at this...*
"What in the name of the Digital World?" Bee gasped as he, Black, and Lucifer came over to look at what I was gawking at.
"There, great Lucifer, is the statue of your family. Your broken sister placed inside the Crimson Items, your elder brother, Chaos Lord, who was later split in two, and of course, yourself," Mysticmon explained.
"My... broken sister?" Lucifer questioned.
"This story shall be long and it shall be tiring, but I see it must be told," Mysticmon sighed. "Come, great Lord, you and your companions should sit," We all just shrugged as we took a seat on benches that looked like something from a Roman coliseum.
*Roomy...* I thought as even Black managed to sit on the cushioned bench.
"Five millennia ago by our time, the Digital World entered a time of civil strife and chaos...." Mysticmon began. Without warning, the Crimson jewels began to glow and the scenery around us shifted to a great and bloody battle field.
"It was during this time of civil strife, you and your family came to their Godly status," Lucifer, Chaos Lord, and a young female Beelzemon-like Digimon could be seen getting ready for a REALLY big fight.
"Chaos! Are you nuts?!" the female demanded, flicking her wings free of dust while holding her sword tightly. A very familiar red jewel could be seen glittering around her pale blue neck.
"We're out of options, Athena!" Chaos snapped.
"But... what happens if we fail? Good 'ol pop Myotismon will have us for lunch!" Athena stated.
"We have to run that risk, sis. If we don't stand up to our own father, then who will?" Lucifer countered.
"And besides, you already stole his sword and gem," Chaos replied.
"But they were promised to me to begin with. I just collected early," Athena countered with a cold smile.
"Look," Chaos turned, facing Athena, "Look all around you. Do you really want our father to destroy all of the Digital World?"
"...No..." Athena replied, lowering her head, "But I don't want to lose my brothers either!"
"And we don't want to lose you," Chaos replied, taking Athena firmly in his arms.
"We'll never allow any one of us to be harmed," Lucifer smiled, grabbing both Athena and Chaos in a large, winged hug.
"But that promise could not be kept..." Mysticmon's voice interrupted as the scene abruptly changed. It was in the middle of a blood-red battlefield. Lucifer and Chaos were up against a corner and about to be chopped down by Myotismon.
"Lucifer! Chaos Lord!" Athena cried.
"Goodbye, my so-called sons!" Myotismon laughed, launching a wave of bats at the two. Before anyone could move, Athena had thrown herself, back first, into the wave of bats, taking the lethal hit at its peak power.
"Athena!" the two brothers cried as they both grabbed Athena mid-fall and carefully lowered her to the ground. Even Myotismon seemed completely shocked by this behavior.
"Athena, why...?" Lucifer cried, tears streaking down through his helmet.
"How...could I let my brothers die?" Athena coughed.
"Athena... Don't die! Please!" Chaos Lord begged, tears also running uncontrollably down his cheeks. Despite their please, Athena still started to glow and changed into data bits.
"Don't worry, big brothers, we'll never be separated..." Athena's voice giggled as she vanished in a field of red data, leaving only her sword and necklace behind. All three of the gems suddenly glowed bright, sucking in the data that was Athena.
Myotismon just laughed.
"How foolish! Does that rat of a daughter think she can counteract the darkness I've place in the jewels?" Myotismon laughed, "She'll never be reborn! Never!"
"Be silent, father!" Chaos snapped, standing up faster than one could say boo to.
"You have caused an unknown pain throughout the Digital World.... And now... and now you do this, to your own daughter?! Disgusting!!" Lucifer snapped.
"For Athena..." Chaos whispered.
"For our family..." Lucifer replied.
A blinding red flash obscured everything, leaving only two glowing Digimon behind in its wake.
*We... should be dead... We used all of our energy...* Lucifer gasped mentally.
*D.... did I just hear your thoughts, Lucifer?* Chaos jumped.
*And I heard yours...* Lucifer gulped. A young laugh suddenly stopped their worrying.
*You two elder brothers are so funny to watch!* Athena laughed as she appeared in a glowing, translucent form.
*Athena!* the two jumped.
*Now, calm down. You see, because I gave my life to save you two, I'm allowed to be reborn. But, I'm not allowed to be reborn for some time...* Athena whispered.
*Yo...You'll come back to the living eventually, won't you?* Lucifer asked, hopeful.
*Look for the girl who carries father's items. She'll be me reincarnated,* Athena stated, disappearing into a fog. *And, don't try to go too overboard being Digi-Gods, okay?*
*Digi-Gods?!* the two jumped.
*Uh-huh. Because you two were willing to risk it all to save the Digital World, the powers above awakened your true selves. You two were always meant to have the power of Gods.* Athena smiled, then saddened. *But there is a darkness in the future you two will have to face as mortals, so you'll have to be sent into a temporary oblivion...*
*We understand...* Chaos smiled.
*So long as we can still be together, forever,* Lucifer smiled.
*Forever...* Athena whispered before she fully vanished.
Another bright flash filled the room and we were all sitting back on the benches.
*Holy...* I gulped.
*No way this could be for real...* Bee gulped.
*But, somehow in my heart I fell... I feel that it is real...* Lucifer gulped.
*As do I. So, in truth...We all really are family...* Black muttered.
"That is the truth, so it is recorded in the annals of time," Mysticmon sighed, closing a book that we hadn't noticed him open.
"H...how...?" I started to ask. Mysticmon raised his hand for silence.
"You have heard of the fabled Spirit Digivolution?" Mysticmon asked.
"Of course," Black replied.
"That form of Digivolution is granted only to those who are the reincarnates of Chaos Lord and Lucifer. Athena's great power lies in her items," Mysticmon explained, "She is the one who is able to trigger the necessary ability in her brothers."
"But why is it then that Chaos Lord was split in two?" Bee jumped.
"Because his power was too great to keep in only one mon," Mysticmon replied, "And as I can see now, their time to walk on the soil of the Digital World again has come."
*I guess that explains how we managed to enter into your mind, Nina...* Bee gulped.
*And why we are able to hear each other's thoughts,* Black tagged on.
*Great... we're dead Digi-Gods reborn. Anybody besides me get the creeps about that?* I asked.
*No, not really.*
*Good, for a second I thought I was going insane again...*
"But, there is one thing I must warn you of before you start out again in an attempt to stop the corrupted human." Mysticmon warned, "This world has become fearful and resentful of humans. The Digimon shall treat you with even less respect that I did."
*Why do I not like the sound of that?* I gulped, standing up.
"Thanks for the warning, Mysticmon. I think we should get rolling pretty soon..." I finished with a fake smile.
"Very well. This town shall be your safe haven should you or any of your allies be in need of rest," Mysticmon declared as the doors to the Digi- Cathedral opened.
"We'll keep that in mind..."
"Farewell..."
Skipping ahead to when we had made camp....
*Yah know, if everybody's going to hate humans, then how the heck are we going to go around normally?* I asked as I lay down at my partners' feet, using Black's lower leg armor as a pillow. It wasn't really all that uncomfortable, surprisingly.
*We could always have you pose as our pet,* Lucifer joked. I bolted straight up and snapped my fingers in a 'Eureka!' way.
*Yah know for another bird brain, you just had a brilliant idea!* I laughed. Lucifer looked at me, and you could tell that he had blinked.
*You know I was kidding, right?* Lucifer asked. I smirked.
*You may have been kidding, but it still was a great idea,* I replied. Bee cracked open an eye and looked straight at me.
*Nina, you've lost it. How are we going to convince people that you're our pet?* Bee demanded. I lowered myself back on Black's armor and sighed.
*...By simply saying that she is,* Black replied, *Think for a moment. We're three Mega-level Digimon. If asked why we're keeping her around, tell them that she was our Tamer and kept us alive in her world. But now that she's in our world, we're at least giving her the common courtesy of staying alive.*
*What about if somebody does something... a little... dark...?* Bee put lightly. I smirked.
*Then I'll either A) grit and bear it, or B) one of you three can tell him to knock it off.*
*Without blowing our cover? That'll be a little difficult... But, possible.* Lucifer smirked.
*So, just call me Nina the pet Tamer!* I smiled, *Night, y'all!*
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Iniora: A dangerous plan has been put into play in order to try and keep Nina's head on. Will they be able to do it? And, what sort of stuff's going to happen to Nina, the pet Tamer? Heck, why am I the one asking?! Oh well, you'll just have to REVIEW and wait for the next exciting chapter!!
Corran: Iniora now the Narratory-person. But what does the review board have to say?
Bee: Absolutely nothing. We're on temporary break.
Trunks: We need it after helping Iniora get just these few chapters done.
Lena: We might come back to work later...
Janus: *pops in holding four bowls* Who ordered the chocolate ice-cream?
Everyone on stage: I did!
Janus: *sweat drops* Oh boy.... This might take awhile....
Iniora: While you sort that out, I'll close the curtain and say, "See yah next chappy!" *curtain closes, ending story*
