Let's roll!! Remember, this goes in with The Rise and Fall by
FlamesheRuby. Now, as I was saying.... And a quick apology for it being
so stupid.
Crossing Paths
Crossing Paths Earns its Name
I gave a sigh as I turned back to face Bee, Black, and Lucifer. I gave a huff as I took mental count of how many times we'd had to jump, duck, flip, crouch, and cut our way through a ton of traps just to get some stupid gem that nice controlled Mystmon had asked us to get. The total was up to 200.
Two words about Mystmon; Don't, Ask. He's been taken over by Elrond, and he's being forced to do some cruddy stuff. But, hey, I ain't complainin' too much. When Demon isn't in control of him, he's really a sweat old mon who doesn't have a bad bone in his body.
Well, now back to the present. I gave a sigh as I took a look at the gem in front of us. It was a pretty gem, I'd say somewhere around 1 to 2 million dollars worth if cut just right. It looked like a crown, only on a much smaller scale. It was red, and it was shiny, and it was just what every girl wanted on her birthday. Lucky for me, I'm not that type of girl.
"Hey! Nina! What's the hold up?" Bee questioned, crossing his arms over his chest in a defiant manor. I gave a huff as I looked back at the jewel.
"Mystmon said this thing is supposed to help take out Elrond, right? Well...." Black gave a sigh, interrupting my sentence.
"It's alright, Nina. I'll get it." He was about to get it, but the jewel went off and sent about a million volts of electricity flying at him!! Needless to say, there was a group double take, and Lucifer had just enough time to block the energy with Shell of Darkness.
"...Oh crud..." I gulped, looking at the jewel. The energy around it crackled some before flying off it and landing about two inches away from my face. I took one step back, and gasped as the energy turned solid. There was a group gasp as the energy finally turned a transparent-like solid.
"Athena!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
"Yo," said ghostly female Beelzemon Digimon waved casually. We all fell over with one leg twitching in the air.
"What the hell?!" I snapped, jumping up to my feet first.
"Sorry about nearly shocking you into oblivion, bro. Sort of haven't really got the hang of being stuck in a crystal yet." There was a group blink.
"No problem..." Black gulped.
"Anyway," Athena sighed, moving back towards the crystal. She picked it up like it was nothing, and it shrunk down to the size of a marble. "Nina, right? Keep careful tabs of this, and don't let anybody have it." I blinked several times as she passed me the crystal.
"...That was surprisingly easy..." I blinked, looking down at the marbleized crystal.
"Oh yeah, and we'll be in touch. Good luck freeing Mystmon!" Athena waved. There was another group blink.
"Yeah, about that..." I muttered. "How do we do it?"
"Not a clue," Athena shrugged. I face vaulted. "But, I suggest you get a move on. Demon took him back over, and is now attempting to destroy your friends. Bye!" before we could really say anything, she had vanished.
"...O....kay.... You three heard the dead Digi-Goddess, let's get a move on!" I laughed, going with the flow. The three exchanged a shrug before heading for the entrance.
When we got outside, there was a strange and dark fog filing the canyon we were in. There was a group blink as a scream was heard off in the distance.
"Is it just me, or did you guys hear that scream as well?" Bee questioned. Black blinked.
"You know, that scream sounded a lot like Rouge..." we gave him a look.
"Could he have been reconfigured?" I questioned, squinting to look through the fog.
"I don't think he could have..." Lucifer blinked.
"Well, whoever it is sounds like they're in trouble. We should hurry." Bee sighed, taking off into the fog bank. The gem started glowing like crazy from within my pocket as another scream echoed through the canyon, louder than the first.
"What's it doing?" Lucifer questioned aloud. I pulled it out, and blinked. Bee turned back around to see what was going on, and blinked as he felt a familiar power start to grow inside of him again.
"...It's...triggering it..." Bee whispered. We all gave him a strange look.
"Huh?" Bee wasn't given time to answer as the gem shot out another blast of energy, aimed right for Bee's heart.
"Bee!!"
*Relax a little, guys... What I was talking about was that it's turning me into the white Beelzemon again.* Bee mentally sighed. There was a group blink.
*You sure you're not mentally insane?* I mentally blinked. Bee smirked as the gem stopped shooting energy into him.
*Pretty sure,* Bee smirked. There was a huge explosion of light, and the fog was cut in half. *Follow the yellow brick road given new meaning.* there was a group shrug.
"You guys heard the mental bird brain. Let's move it!" I ordered, pocketing the gem and making a run through the cut path.
"Hell, why not?" Lucifer joked, shrugging. Both he and Black were airborne and after the now pure white Bee in a matter of moments. The scream echoed again, and I grabbed for my sword as the source of our problems was made painfully clear.
*Okay, Bee, you heal the Beelzemon Mystmon just ran through. Lucifer, Black, get ready for a special delivery.* I mentally ordered.
*What kind of delivery?* Lucifer blinked. I took out my sword, and jumped at the Demon that had Mystmon in his control. Demon hacked a bit, dodging the attack. *Oh, that sort of delivery.*
Mystmon gave a cry of pain, collapsing down onto the ground. I gave a light curse as Demon continued to dodge attack after attack. Of course, my attention was diverted back to the present when somebody yelled,
"Nina!!" at the top of their lungs. I turned around to find a couple of old friends smiling at me with their Digimon partners.
"Yo! How do you guys always manage to get into such deep messes?" I laughed questioningly. Rico gave a little tut, muttering something about how I hadn't changed a bit since the last time I had seen him. The Beelzemon Digimon and what looked like either his girlfriend of his sister, another female Beelzemon, was trying to get him back on his feet.
"Is it just me or is that a white Beelzemon?" Ronfar blinked, looking at Bee, who was currently fighting Demon.
"I...I don't believe it..." Tosh gulped. Demon gave a scream of pain as Black swiped his claw over his face. Lucifer tried to grab him in a holding spell, but missed by 'that' much. Demon gave a curse as he retreated. I just gave a sigh, checking on Mystmon.
"Bee! Get your rear over here quick! Mystmon's hurt bad!" Bee did a double take as he landed next to Mystmon. He took a seat Indian style next to Mystmon, and held his hands a few inches away from Mystmon's injured form. Everything looked like it was going the way it was supposed too, but he stopped mid start.
"Dang... There's a curse on him. I can't even get one healing spell started!" Bee cursed, crossing his arms over his chest in a huff. I gave a light curse in German as my heart sunk down deep into my shoes. This guy had been so nice... He reminded me of what little bit of my real father I remembered.
"Anybody got any good ideas for helping him out?" I demanded. The Beelzemon gave me an odd look as his sister helped him up.
"Are you nuts?! That guy just ran his arm through me!!" his sister whacked him up side the head, and the twins kicked him in the shins, causing him to curse in pain.
"Jerk," Kimber muttered, turning her back to him.
"You're so slow at noticing! It's obvious that he was being controlled!" Rico huffed, imitating his sister.
"If a curse is what the problem is, then we should take him to the witch- doctor." Rico's Wizardmon suggested. I looked over at him, and blinked. He had changed a bit, and for the better. So had Sorceremon, only now she was more like a Witchmon, and that staff of hers looked a lot better than the old one.
"Then let's get a move on! Oh yeah, but first things first." I muttered. The Beelzemon gave me an odd look as I moved directly in front of him and looked him over. "He may be a jerk, but he's still hurt." The Beelzemon blinked several times. Bee gave a shrug.
"Hey, no feathers off my wings." Bee shrugged. He pointed his hand at the still hurt Beelzemon as I stepped back. "Demon Feather's Healing!!" the Beelzemon nearly panicked as a huge beam of white colored energy was shot into him from Bee's hand. There was a group gasp as the Beelzemon started glowing bright white. He gasped as his wounds were fully healed, and another blast of energy shot into him. The beam cut off as abruptly as it had been formed, causing a group blink.
"What the...?" the Beelzemon blinked, looking down at his hands.
"You're welcome,"
"How... what...where?" the group blink.
"Explanations will have to wait. Right now, we need to hurry to Witchmon's place." Black ordered, picking Mystmon up off the ground. There was a group blink, followed by a group shrug.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Okay, to make a long story short, the Witch wasn't exactly happy to have us call her a witch-doctor, but agreed to help us out anyway. So, skipping to the part of the story over dinner.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"....And that brings us up to the present. Any questions?" I asked. There was a cricket chirp in the background before Ronfar raised his hand.
"And Impy went where?" I couldn't help but laugh a little in embarrassment.
"Forgot to mention he Spirit Digivolved to Lucifer, didn't I?" I gulped, laughing embarrassedly. Boy was I glad Lucifer was out getting some more berries, that Bee was already out cold from turning back to normal, and that Black didn't rub it in! There was a group blink before....
"He WHAT?!?!"
*Tell 'em to keep it down, will yah? I'm trying to rest up here...* Bee muttered mentally, rolling over in his sleep.
"Yeah, he Spirit Digivolved to Lucifer, and Bee's asking for us to keep it down a little." I muttered, turning bright red in embarrassment.
"Hey, isn't Spirit Digivolving one of those legendary ways to Digivolve?" Lars, the other Beelzemon, questioned between bites of fish.
"Yep," Lucifer smiled, walking back in with an armful of berries. "I brought extra incase anybody else wanted some." There was another cricket chirp.
"So, anyway.... What have you guys been up to?" everyone gave me an odd look. The female Beelzemon, E-Vie, gave me a questioning look.
"How do you know Bee asked for us to keep it down?" E-Vie finally asked.
"Mental link," Lucifer, Black, and I answered at the same time. E-Vie blinked.
"What?"
"Long story," E-Vie blinked again.
"O...kay...."
