Chapter Five: Truth Revealed
Air flowed about her form as ground whipped by below. Jade let out a shout of exhilliration as Icedevimon took her all over the digital world.
"WHOOOOO! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! WHOOOOOO!" she shouted, and laughed. Icedevimon laughed lightly under his breath at her, his wings miraculously holding up. They'd been flying for quite a few hours. "Hey, slow down! Look at that river!" she piped up, the digimon slowing down and arching towards it.
"What, never seen a river before?" he quipped, hovering a few feet above the rocky edge of the deep river.
"Well, not in the DIGITAL world, anyways...it's so pretty here...I dont think I EVER want to go home now!" she said, leaping from Icedevimon's grasp.
"Then stay here." he said, sitting down on the grass, his form resting on a boulder.
"It's not that easy...I have family, and school, and friends...I just can't LEAVE them all...and what about my NEW friends?" then, it struck her. "OH NO! DAVIS! HE HAS NO IDEA WHERE I AM! IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO DAYS! Icedevimon, I HAVE to find him!" she said, suddenly running off. Icedevimon sighed, and appeared in front of her, catching her in his grasp. "Jade...I DO have wings, dear human."
"Oh...right...you wouldn't mind helping me find him, would you?"
"Of course not...but he won't understand why I'M with you..."
"Don't worry, I won't let him near you. Why, anyways?"
"I'll...I'll explain it to you later..."
"No, tell me now...please..." Icedevimon sighed.
"Alright. Digimon have three species - Data, Virus, and Vaccine...all of the digidetined digimon are Vaccine or Data. All the evil, dark, hellbent, or just plain psychotic digimon are Virus...I'm a virus type, and I've had a dangerous past with the digidestined - Im sure Tai and Kari will remember me - and they seem to think virus type digimon are all the same."
"Well are you all the same?"
"...Well...MOST of us...Virus types......we CAN change if we want to..." Jade smiled lightly.
"Well, from what I've heared, virus types love to kill...why haven't you tried to kill ME?"
"I haven't seen a reason to, and I'm starting to....think differently about you digidestined...."
"Oh cut the crap Icedevimon. You like being good for a change." she said, laughing whole heartedly at the big digimon. Icedevimon crossed his arms stubbornly, making her laugh even harder. The only sound between the two was her laughter - that is, until...
"NOVA BLAST!" a voice cried as a gigantic red sphere came flying at them. Icedevimon twirled himself in the path between Jade and the attack, and crouched with her as it skimmed the top of his head.
"LEAVE HER ALONE, ICEDEVIMON!" cried a familliar voice. Jade peeked up to see Greymon and Tai standing in a fighting stance not too far away from them.
"NO YOU DON'T UNDERST-" Jade begun, but was cut of by the roar of a second Nova Blast. This time the sphere struck Icedevimon in the chest as he stood to protect her, his body flying up over her head. "NO!" she shouted, turning to run to him, but Tai's arms grasped her and begun to pull her in the opposite direction. "I've got you now, you're safe." he told her.
"NO TAI STOP! YOU DON'T UNDERST-"
"Shhhhhh! It's ok! It's going to be all over soon." Tai cut her off again, dragging her away as she watches Icedevimon get ruthlessly attacked by Greymon. Jade growled as she stuck her hands in his face pushing her off of him. Tai staggered back, slightly stunned, as Jade planted her foot squarely in Tai's chest.
"LISTEN TO ME!" she barked at him. All he could do was nod and pick himself up from the ground. "Icedevimon CAN'T FIGHT...he saved my life. I owe him my LIFE Tai! Call Greymon off, or I'll use my digivice..." she said, pulling it from her pocket.
"Jeez you can kick...GREYMON, THAT'S ENOUGH..." he said, disoriented as he did so. Greymon stepped backwards curiosly and took his massive foot off of Icedevimon's chest. The digimon coughed as he recoiled into a fetal position, as Jade ran to him. "You mean to tell me that...THAT digimon SAVED your life?" Jade nodded to him, kneeling at the nearly gone digimon. "Well......." was all Tai could say.
"Just like people...digimon....can...change..."
"No they can't. They just know when there's no point anymore." Tai said, looking warily at the weakened digimon.
"Just like you, right Tai?" Jade said, turning her back on him.
"Icedevimon's right, Tai...Remember Wargreymon from the spires?" Greymon piped up.
"Hmph. Well, you couldn't have used your digivice unless he's your digimon."
"Well let's just TEST that, hmmm?" she said cockilly, her hand holding the digivice rising up to face the digimon.
"Uuhhhh...alright." Tai said with a smirk, knowing she wouldn't do it unless she was his tamer.
"Er...how do I do it?" Tai slapped his palm on his forehead.
"It's based on emotions. You have to WANT him to digivolve."
"But...I DO want him to digivolve...."
"It's more complicated then that..."
"Why? I want to show you that I know what I'm doing, so Icedevimon, digivolve..." she said, holding her digivice to him. Tai shook his head and closed his eyes in her simplicity.
"Jade, if this works, I'll buy you a car." What struck him as odd was the pale glow surrounding her digivice. "DIGIVOLUTION, ACTIVATE!" The same glow begun to radiate around Icedevimon as Greymon returned to his rookie stage.
"Oh Damn." he said, looking up to the blue-toned Myotismon that stood before him.
"I TOLD you, Tai. Maybe this whole 'tamer' thing isn't so hard. Now, I do believe you owe me a car?"
"NOT so fast. I dont know why, but I smell a rat here...Virus digimon don't just up and go Vaccine. There's a reason why he's being so...good...around us. I just don't know what it is yet. Why can't you attack, Myotismon?"
"It's ICEmyotismon." Jade piped in, casting a light grin on the digimon's face.
"You see Tai, I am not the same digimon you had problems with. I am that digimon's brother. When I was born, I was marked the 'good' brother was wanted dead. He sealed me inside what was meant to be my tomb...but he forgot I control the same thing he incased me in....and I could freely leave the palace he made - only my powers stay there because of the first digidestined...and I won't be free until the curse is lifted by one of their desendants."
"Hmmm...if I were a Viral Digimon, I'd be wanting revenge...what are you up to?" Tai said as the icy digimon turned away.
"If you'll excuse me, my friend is walking the other way." Tai knew something was wrong. He just didn't know what it was yet.
"Jade...where are you going?" he said, running up to her.
"My digivice picked up an odd signal..." she said, staring at the old white digivice. Tai cocked his eye and pulled out his own digivice. Hey, you're right...it's probably Davis..."
"OH NO! DAVIS!!!" she exclaimed, running off. Yet agian, Icemyotismon appeared in front of her and caught her. "I know, I know...you've got wings..."
***
"So...basically you're telling me that Exveemon's now a virus digimon, but doesn't want to kill everyone?" Kari questioned.
"I guess so, yeah..." Davis responded.
"There's got to be another answer...Maybe gennai will know...but I'll have to wait for Tai to come back..."
"He went off chasing a blip on his digivice...sheesh."
"I know. He thinks the digital world is doomed. He just doesn't get it that we've dealt with all the evil here..."
"Well how do you explain that evil cloud that did this to Veemon?"
"I still think there's a good explanation for it. Just wait and see."
"Alright, I trust you Kari."
"Hey, it's Tai! AND JADE!"
"WHAT? JADE?" Davis looked around frantically and saw them walking towards them on the horison. "Kauraiexveemon, take me over there!" the Digimon nodded slowly, grasping his tamer, and flew off towards the two.
"DAVIS WHAT ABOUT ME?" Kari yelled to him.
"I'LL SEND KURAIEXVEEMON BACK FOR YOU!" Kari let out a growl of exasperation.
Jade knew she couldn't let Davis see Icedevimon, so she told him to follow from far behind so she could explain the situation to him. She hated having to walk along on foot, but it was better then having to make the poor digimon fight without his abilities. Jade stopped as she heared Davis coming.
"JAAAAAAADE!" she heared him call out over the distance.
"Five, four, three, two, one..." she counted, just as Davis pretty well tackled her to the ground. Kuraiexveemon had gone back to get Kari.
"Jade! I thought you were dead or something!"
"I'm alright. I was ejected in the icelands is all. I was saved by a digimon...I'm sorry I didn't contact you, I lost track of time and before I realized, two days had gone by..."
"It's ok, you're alive. What digimon saved you? We owe it your life..."
"You won't like it...promise me you won't freak out?" Davis looked at her with an odd look.
"Of course...if it saved you're life, we owe it alot."
"Alright....ICEDEVIMON, OK." she called as the blue digimon flew to her side. Davis's mouth dropped open.
"Your savior is a VIRAL DIGIMON?!? How does THAT work?"
"He's her digimon, too." Tai put lightly. Everyone looked at him. "She can digivolve him. That means he's her digimon." Jade blinked at the new information.
"Well...at least I don't have to go LOOKING for my digimon anymore..." Icedevimon looked at his tamer.
"Looks like I'm in this for the long haul...I won't be able to use her now...unless I make her think I'm on their side for the long run and have her unlock my power, then I can kill her and be on my way..." he thought to himself, an evil laugh resounding in his mind.
