First off, I am sorry for now updating this story for so long. I have been
busy with other stuff. I would have put up this story yesterday but I had
other things that kept me busy. Such as school, my parents and also that
yesterday was my birthday. Anyways, here is the next chapter to the story.
As usual, I don't own digimon.
Chapter 9:
Honor, Destiny
and Faith Unite
Jerry's POV...
"I'm tired. Can we please stop for a while?" whined a voice. "No we can't. We have to keep walking." "But we're so tired and hungry. Could we at least rest for a little bit?" whined another voice. This has basically gone on ever since I was separated from the others and by my luck I ended up with Andrew and Annie, who have done nothing but complain. I mean, I love them like family but they were starting to get on my nerves. "Come on Jerry, we're really want to stop." No longer being able to stand it anymore I let my anger loose.
"Will you two be quiet? I am getting fed up in hearing your constant whining. So could you do me a favor and keep your mouths close?" As soon as I finished saying what I just said I knew that I went too far when I saw that both Andrew and Annie were on the verge of tears. "Fine, we'll rest here for the night. I'll go get some firewood for the fire." Not waiting for a reply I left the others and headed into the woods.
Later that Night...
After I gathered some firewood I came back to the campsite and thankfully no one brought up the little out burst. Apparently while I was gone the digimon had gathered some food which we ate in uneasy silence. It was now nighttime and everyone was asleep except for me since I was taking first watch. As I sat there in silence I noticed that despite being close to the fire both Andrew and Annie were shivering from the cold.
Not liking to see this I removed my large jacket and went to place it over the two of them which eventually caused them to stop shivering and resume their peaceful sleep. Going back to my seat I prepared to resume my quiet lookout until someone decided to start up a conversation. "And here I thought you didn't like them."
"Ah, geez it BlackAgumon you scared me. What are you doing up any ways?" "I wasn't really asleep to begin with." he answered with one eye slightly open. "Getting on to a different subject, I saw what you did a minute ago." "So what if you did? Are you going to make a federal case of it?" "Not really. I'm just saying that I saw you do something nice for two kids who earlier today you were yelling at." "They were cold. I couldn't let them freeze could I?" "Why don't you just admit that you like them and you're actually a big softy?" "That is a bunch of bull. You may know me better than anyone besides my immediate family but you don't know everything that their is to know about me so I would like it if you didn't tell me how I should be thinking or feeling."
Seeing the look on BlackAgumon's face it was obvious that I went over the line again. "I'm sorry buddy. Apparently I don't know when to shut my mouth." "It's okay Jerry. I know that you didn't mean it. Now why don't you go to sleep and let me take over the watch?" "Okay, if you want to. But wake me if something wrong happens." After getting the nod from my partner I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
The Next Day...
With the sun rising we all began to awake. I was the first to fully awake and looking over to Andrew and Annie I saw that they were still out of it. Moving quickly I grabbed my jacket before anyone noticed anything. Soon after everyone was awake and we restarted our journey. Unfortunately, we would encounter an unexpected guest.
Nothing happen as we went on our way with no one bringing up my little yelling fit which I was grateful for since I was still not wanting to discuss it. I wouldn't have much time to think about it for the silence was broken when a horrible sound could be heard. "Ah, what is that aweful sound coming from?" Seeminly to answer my question a figure jumped in front of us. He appeared to be five feet tall and was wearing a orange monkey suit with shades over his eyes, a small yellow teddy bear was tied to his waist and was holding a microphone in his hand.
"At last, Etemon has arrive. Now which one of you kids will be the first to be taken care of in the name of my master?" spoke the digimon now known as Etemon in a voice that sounded like Elvis. "Come on, don't be shy. One of you step up." Unable to hold it in any longer I busted up laughing. "Y-Y-You have to be k-kidding me. Are you a-ac-actually serious about this?" I struggled to say in-between my fits of laughter. "What's your deal boy? Why are you laughing?" "Isn't it obvious? We're suppose to be fighting this big evil and he sends out a Elvis impersonator to deal with us. How could I not laugh?"
"Why I never. Don't you know who I am?" "I don't know. Are you some over grown monkey that escape from the zoo? How about you enlighten us?" "Very well. My name is Etemon and I once was the ruler of the entire continent of Server. I was one of the most feared digimon ever known. But that all changed when I encountered your parents. It was because of them that I was banished to digital limbo, twice. Now thanks to my new master I have the chance to get a measure of revenge and I will start by dealing with the son of the man who defeated me the first time."
"Just taking a wild guess here I would say that you are talking about me." "You got that right." He then looked around me to see something. Following his stare I saw that he was looking at Andrew and Annie who were holding their digimon in worry. "On second thought, I will start with those two little ones over there first." Stepping in front of them I looked at Etemon with a defiant stare. "Leave them out of this. This involves you fighting me. They have nothing to do with this fight." "You may be right about that but I don't see why you even care what happens to them. Wasn't it just yesterday that you considered them nuisances?"
"You're right, I did feel that they were. But their little kids, they're suppose to be annoying on an occasion and I will do everything in my power to defend them." Almost as if responding to my words a silver colored symbol showed up on the back of my right hand which covered my digimon in the same glow. "BlackAgumon, digivolve to....BlackGreymon." What was strange was that even after transforming to his champion form he continued to changed. "BlackGreymon, digivolve to...SkullGreymon."
Apparently after finally finishing his digivolving BlackAgumon was now much taller than he was in his BlackGreymon form. But the most drastic change was that he was just bones with six long bones coming out the sides of his back that had a large orange missile strapped on the center of them and where his eyes were suppose to be were only empty eye sockets. None of us knew what to make of this since it was unexpected, it even caused Etemon to be stunned. I just looked on in uncertainly as SkullGreymon began to kneel in front of me and brushed one of his bony finger against my left cheek. Looking up in to my digimon's face I could tell that even though he was in a different form he was still the same digimon that I called friend.
"Its okay you guys, he's still on our side." "H-How can you t-tell?" asked Andrew who like Annie was holding his partner in fright. "I can tell. I might not know everything that their is to know about what just happen but I know that despite this new appearance the same BlackAgumon that I consider my friend is still in there." Switching my attention back towards Etemon I saw that he was starting to recover and was preparing to attack. "Go after him SkullGreymon. Stop that giant monkey."
Following my instructions he quickly changed from a kind digimon to a vicious creature as he charged towards Etemon. Despite having the height advantage he couldn't make contact with him because every time he attempted to hit him Etemon would simply move out of the way. "Is that all you got you walking pile of bones? I thought this new form of yours would give me a challenge. Apparently I was mista-" Right before he could finished he was struck down by SkullGreymon's tail swipe. "What was that you said a minute ago? You might be faster than my digimon but can't possible avoid all of his shots and to prove it, SkullGreymon fire."
Doing as I said he crouch down and leaned slightly forward. "Dark Shot." Suddenly, the missile on his back shot upward which then went flying down towards Etemon. "I'm sorry to disappoint you but it won't be that simply to stop me." Putting his microphone by his mouth he began to sing. "Oh I am the greatest. I'm the best that has even been known. You are no match for me yeah." As he was singing, a flow of sound waves which not only made a awful noise but caused the Dark Shot attack to be thrown off course and crash to the ground.
"God, that had to be the worst thing that I ever heard and here I thought that listening to boy bands was bad." "How did you like my little performance kids? I think I have proven that I am the best their is in both music and in battle. Why don't you make it easier on yourselves and surrender to me?" "You can't forget that their is no way that I will hand myself over to you without a fight." "If that is what you wish, so bit it." Sticking his hand out he began to power up a green basketball size ball of energy. He started to aim the attack at me but then turned towards Andrew and Annie.
"What are you doing? I thought you wanted to take me out first." "Don't worry, I will deal with you shortly. But first I will take care of your little friends so I can see the look on your face as they are destroyed. Concert Crush." I had little time to react as the energy ball went sailing to the kids. Moving quickly I ran over and covered them in a attempt to shield them. Being willing to sacrifice my life to protect them I waited for the attack to connect. After ten seconds nothing happen. Opening my eyes I saw SkullGreymon's giant hand in the way of the attack. When the coast was cleared I pulled away from the kids. "Are you two alright?" They both nodded but were still shaky from what just happen. "That's good to hear. I'm glad to see that you're okay and no harm came to either of you."
All of a sudden both of their D3s began to activate themselves which caused both of their digimon to react. "Salamon, digivolve to....BlackGatmon." Much like with Melissa's digimon, Annie's digimon became a Gatomon but hers was different. Instead of white fur, she had black fur and a silver tail ring where the gold one would be. "Floramon, digivolve to....Kiwimon." The newest form of Floramon resembled a brown colored two legged bird with no wings, a white helmet that covered the top part of his head as well as his long beak and their was some green colored hair that was poking out from the back of his helmet.
"What is the meaning of this? How is it possible that those two children's digimon digivolved to the champion level?" "It's because of you under estimated them." I answered as I turned around towards him. "You thought that because they were just little children they would be easy targets. But what you didn't take into account was that despite their young age they are part of the next generation of DigiDestined and with their help I will put an end to this. Ready yourself you guys, this next attack will be the deciding moment in this battle."
An eerie silence develop as all of us knew that one false move would spell the end. Finally I broke the silence. "This is it. Lets end this you guys. You're up first BlackGatmon." Running forward the feline digimon went straight at Etemon. "Black Lighting Paw." Slashing her paw forward she went for the monkey's face. However, the attack was predicted which gave Etemon the opportunity to cross his arms over his face. When the attack made contact all it did was cause him to be push back a few feet. "It's your turn now Kiwimon. Give it your best shot." Following BlackGatmon's example he charged passed her and prepared to launch his attack. "Pummel Peck." Opening his mouth he fired miniature versions of himself at Etemon who was regaining his composure. Being caught off guard he had no time to put up a defense when he was stuck repeatedly by Kiwimon's assault.
"Now is your chance SkullGreymon. Attack him while he's weaken." Doing as I said he moved into the attack postion and ready himself to deliver the move that would most likely end this fight. "Double Dark Shot." Firing another missile from his back it went flying towards Etemon. When it was close to him the front of the missile opened and fired another smaller missile from itself. Not expecting this the worn out Etemon could not defend himself as he was hit with a double impact move. When the attack made contact it caused a huge explosion with a giant ball of energy and in the center of it was the outline figure of Etemon's body, which was slowly began to delete away.
With the fight now over BlackGatomon and Kiwimon dedigivolve back to their rookie levels while SkullGreymon went all the way back to his in- training form of Koromon. "We did it Jerry. We were able to beat that big blow hard of a monkey." said my partner but I paid no mind to it as I went to Andrew and Annie who where celebrating with their digimon. They stopped as soon as they saw me coming and I could see by the expressions on their faces that they were worried about what I was going to do. Nothing was said between us for nearly a minute until I decided to speak.
"First off, I want to say that I am sorry for snapping at you earlier. If it wasn't for your help I wouldn't have been able to stop Etemon. I know that I don't say this as often as I should but I will that I am proud to know and to fight along side you." Non of them said anything for a while and I was starting to wonder what they were going to do until Andrew came over and placed a hand of my arm. "No need to apologize Jerry. We know that you wouldn't have snapped at us for no good reason. I mean, we were being real pains." "We know you were just trying to look after us and we appreciate it." added Annie who grabbed onto my other arm. "Thanks you guys. Now what do you say that we get moving and go looking for our parents?" Getting their nods of agreement we restarted are quest but unlike how things turned out last time their was a new feeling were their was trust and unity in each other and I believe that their is no one who could stop us.
Author's POV...
"DAMN IT!!" hollered the master as he drove his fist through the monitor that showed Jerry's group defeating Etemon. "Obviously those children are more resourceful than I imagine. All of my minions that I have sent out against them have been destroyed. Their must be a way to deal with them." Suddenly a unknown figure appeared from the shadows and bowed in front of his master.
"Sire, I am here to inform you that we have begun to do as you have ordered us to perform earlier." "Excellent, I think this will help me to solve my problem. I'll be heading to the laboratory, why don't you go on ahead and ready are guests?" "As you wish master, I will not fail you." Standing up the figure disappeared back into the shadows while the master rose from his throne and began his walk to the laboratory. "Seemingly everything is coming along as I was hoping for. Soon I will have everything within the palm of my hand."
Their you go. I hope you liked this chapter. I'll try to have the next one on ff.net quicker than it took for this one to get up. Before I go, for those who have been reading my other story, 'The Wanderer' I haven't been able to work on that one for a while since I have been busy with this story. But I will try to have the next chapter to that story on ff.net sometime next month. Until next time readers, see ya.
