Megami, who knows - more to the point, Ralph Wiggum, Demon Spawn,
firewall0, Iltatahti and Sarah-chan have been kind enough to let me use
their characters.
Jake: *looks around and shrugs* Wow Nukem really meant it.
Jess: You mean you have nothing better to do than stand around?
Jake: Yep. Lets get started.
Jess: Well it will be really easy, seeing as it was so short.
Jake: Everyone landed after the cyclone dispersed.
Jess: But the interlude wasn't very long-lived as Titanimon recovered rapidly, and began chasing after Jason and Lauren.
Jake: Jason hit a roadblock and went flying, pulling Lauren along for the ride.
Jess: Seeing that running was futile, Lauren got up and stood her ground.
Jake: She was so sure of their victory that she began glowing.
Jess: Gathering energy, she fired a ball containing her faith at the magnetized arm.
Jake: AND IT BLEW UP!!!
Jess: *looks at Jake and sighs* drained of her strength, Lauren was forced to make one final proclamation.
Jake: This was enough to activate her crest, causing Daizetmon to chrono digivolve to Dazairmon.
Jess: This metallic kitty sent Titanimon back to the scrap yard.
I_NUKEM: *enters the area* nice work
Jake: Er.thanks.
I_NUKEM: Jake, sorry about that barney thing.
Jake: Well as long as I can be in the story I'll be happy, so when are you gonna put me in?
I_NUKEM: Well due to budget cutbacks, I've been forced to scale back my plans.
Jake: Meaning?
I_NUKEM: Meaning that you won't be in the story for a while.
Jake: AWW
Obsolete Again?
Upon returning to the monastery, there was a loud procession, and congregation, congratulating our valiant heroes, and heroines, upon their latest victory over the Dark Fever.
Once the celebration came to a close, the digidestined returned to the rooms that they had been provided the previous night. Exhausted, the digidestined and their in-training digimon slept.
As Jason finally got to sleep, he dreamt of falling through the clouds.
'Um. if this is one of those falling dreams, I hope I wake up soon,' Jason thought.
Just then he felt pressure on his arms, he began to slow and finally began moving upward. Tilting his head he saw a being immersed entirely in white, with angelic wings holding him aloft.
"Who are you?" Jason asked.
The being remained silent.
"ANSWER ME!" Jason shouted.
This caused the angelic form to drop the load, meaning that Jason plummeted. However he did not fall as much as he could have. Instead he found himself on a narrow path, surrounded by nothingness. Jason looked around and began walking along the path. He hadn't gotten five feet before he was hit in the back of the head with a rather large book. Rubbing the sore spot, Jason turned and opened the book, the words written on the first page were 'Seek Us Out'. After flipping through the remainder of the book, he found that the remainder of the book was left blank.
"Seek who out?" Jason pondered. "How am I supposed to find them?"
Suddenly, white flakes began raining down about him. He picked one such flake from his hair and discovered it to be a feather. He glanced upward and saw three majestic humanoid beings soaring over him.
Shrugging he began walking along the narrow road. "Wow first good night's sleep in a while," Jason said smiling. It was then that the path began to crumble and Jason fell through the breach. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I HAAAAD TO JYNX IT!!!!!!"
Jason rolled off the soft mattress onto the cold stone floor.
"OW!!!!" He exclaimed as his head collided with the rocks.
Cubmon looked up and saw that his partner was sprawled on the floor.
"You really can't sleep in a bed properly can you?" The small digimon asked.
"Its not that, fuzz face. It was another dream." Jason explained.
Cubmon sat up. "So who dies this time?"
Jason shook his head.
"I guess its off to meditate then," Cubmon reasoned.
Jason stood up and stretched. He made his way to the door and opened it, but the second he did he was assailed by numerous white feathers.
"Cubmon, what are these things?" Jason asked.
"Beats me, think there's someone we can ask?" The digimon responded.
"Well Sepikmon would've known, but seeing as he's gone we'll need to find someone else," Jason said.
"There are other monks," Cubmon reasoned.
"Yeah, I guess, I just wish that there was someone that we knew who could help," Jason sighed.
"Like Centarumon?" Cubmon smiled.
"EXACTLY!" Jason exclaimed. "But we can't really go back can we?"
"I wouldn't chance another disappearing act," Cubmon voiced.
"Then what?" Jason asked.
"Lets just ask someone, or meditate on it," Cubmon suggested.
"It seems that the answer will reveal itself regardless of my actions, so I may as well get some sleep," Jason replied.
He climbed back into bed and drifted back into sleep.
The next morning, the digidestined were converged around their breakfast, pondering about their next course of action.
"So are we leaving or what?" Michael asked Jason.
"Personally I like all the attention that we've been getting," Jay said. "Besides, its nice to not have to camp out."
"I'm not sure what we should do," Jason replied. "I had another dream last night."
"Surprise surprise," Washimon said. "So what was it about?"
"I don't know," Jason said.
"WHAT?" Sarah exclaimed. "YOU MEAN THAT YOU DID NOTHING TO TRY AND FIND WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO US!?"
"That sums it up," Jason said coolly.
"So what options do we have?" Savannah asked.
"Well, we can always go to the beach like we planned," Motimon said.
"Or we can stay here," Nekomon countered.
"Regardless of what we do, I think that we need to figure out what this means," Jason said. He held up the feather that he had found.
"A feather?" Lauren asked.
"I think it may have something to do with us," Jason shrugged.
"What do you think it means?" Pixie asked.
"I have no clue," Jason responded.
"Well there's no mistaking that it came from a digimon," Shadesmon put forth.
"You guys know what one?" Michael asked his partner.
"Perhaps it came from a digimon of legend," Soleilmon squeeked.
"Digimon of legend?" Pixie asked.
"Well there are stories of holy digimon, no one has gotten a good glimpse of them, but the stories all have one thing in common, long majestic wings." Daemon (A/N : Lauren's in-training, not the mega Daemon) put forth.
"Sounds a lot like that statue," Jay said quietly.
"What was that?" Meddie demanded.
"Oh, I was just thinking of this statue that I saw in the catacombs, under this place," Jay responded. "It had long wings outstretched, but aside from that, it looked human."
"Sounds like the first lead we have," Savannah said. "But how did you end up in the catacombs?"
"Oh, I.uh.got lost while exploring the place," Jay said.
"Wow the Bloody Cowboy got lost? There's something you don't hear everyday," Michael snickered.
"Watch it Nerdy Brit, I don't remember you coming with us when we explored the place," Jay retorted.
Jason picked up his glass and finished the remainder of the liquid that it contained. He slammed the glass on the table and stood up, wiping his mouth. He turned to leave.
"Aren't you guys coming?" He asked.
The digidestined pushed their chairs back and followed their leader, who was taking directions from Jay of all people.
After going down two flights of stairs, they finally were able to find the statue.
"The engraving says that this is an 'Angemon'," Lauren read.
"Lot of good it does us if he isn't living and breathing," Demiwashimon scoffed.
"Seems solid," Michael said, hitting the statue. "There's nothing inside."
"So what now?" Pixie asked.
"Lets see if anything's behind it," Jason said.
With that thought, the digidestined began pulling and pushing, trying to shift the large stone likeness of the angelic digimon. But to no avail.
"THIS IS HOPELESS," Savannah roared. She tightened her grip on her staff and used it as a club, grinding the statue into dust.
"Well Savannah's patience has come through again," Jay said. "That is her lack thereof." He gestured to the now unblocked passageway.
"Lets go," Jason said, pulling his flashlight from his pocket.
After over an hour of walking, they could safely assume that they were out of the vicinity of the catacombs.
A half an hour passed. They finally found themselves in a large circular room, with what appeared to be an altar in the center. There was no ceiling to speak of.
"Well that's something you don't see everyday," Motimon gasped.
"Hey look, there are markings on the sides," Sarah pointed.
"Looks like our crest chips," Lauren said.
"Wonder what those holes below the symbols are for," Pixie said. "Think its like the ruins?"
"Could be," Jason said. He inserted his watch hand into the hole, but nothing happened.
"Lets try it, put your watches on your wrists and put them in the apertures," Jason instructed.
The second all of the watches went within the cavities, they began closing, hindering escape.
"Put them in the holes, he says, its just like the ruins, he says," Sarah rolled her eyes, next time we're in this situation, remind me not to listen.
"Anyone else feeling a tingling sensation?" Jay asked.
"That was not the thing I wanted to hear from you Jay," Medusa cringed.
"Wait, I feel it too," Lauren said. As she spoke the top of the altar began glowing and then fired a beam of light upwards, through where the ceiling would be.
"I'd hate to see what that will do, can we go now?" Savannah asked.
"I don't think so," Pixie said as she saw a second beam of light hit the altar, dispersing its energy to each of its prisoners.
Everyone tensed. Then the prisons began releasing the digidestined one by one.
Lauren was first, she slowly pulled her hand free. She stared at her watch curiously, it seemed to be upgraded once more, the buttons were gone, but there was an additional slit on the side of the watch face that she could only hope to wonder as to its purpose. She blinked and pointed the watch towards her partner, energy tendrils arched off the newly updated time piece, striking her partner. This caused Daemon to digivolve into his rookie form, Dazemon.
Sarah regained her freedom second. She too marveled at the new design of the watch. She gestured toward her partner and purple energy traveled to her partner in a similar fashion. This incited the digivolution from Nekomon to Kodokumon.
Jay, the third liberated, shrugged as he saw his new apparatus, and noting what his two teammates had done, he too turned the watch to face his partner, Demiwashimon, who now became Washimon.
Medusa's arm was next to be released; she glanced at both the watch and then Himon. Mimicking the others, she aided her partner to achieving her rookie form of Ashemon.
Savannah got out next. She began pounding on the altar with her staff, as punishment for trapping her, but then caught sight of the new watch. She examined it and sighed, muttering something about even more technology for her to master. Unbeknownst to her, she pointed it towards her partner, causing the energy to spike out, striking Motimon, shifting him to his Tentomon form.
Michael pulled his arm from the altar, and examined the watch's design, he discovered several small clasps, but did not know their function. After trying to pry one open, the watch gave off a red light, immersing Shadesmon, digivolving him to Bladeramon.
Pixie slowly extracted her arm from the prison; she caught a glimpse of her pink watch and squealed in joy. Punching the air above her head, "ITS STILL PINK!" She exclaimed. From this position, the pink watch glowed and sent energy towards the small pink digimon at her side. Soleilmon glowed for a moment before growing and becoming Kakumon.
The final digidestined then regained use of his limb. He pointed his new watch at Cubmon, causing the furry creature to shift to become Coyomon.
As soon as that digivolution light subsided, everyone looked at each other.
"There's got to be something more," Meddie said. "Doesn't there?"
"Maybe if someone hit it or something," Lauren suggested. "It could be broken."
Jay kicked the base of the stone. "Nope," he sighed. Suddenly the altar erupted in a bright light, throwing everyone back to the walls. The light lasted five seconds before fizzling out. The silence continued for an additional 10 minutes.
"Talk about anti-climactic," Pixie said crossing her arms.
A booming voice echoed from above. "You must have patience chosen ones," it said.
Slowly, three beacons of light slowly descended into the room. They landed on the altar, and their light began to fade. The first, looked exactly the same as the statue did. It was indeed the angel digimon Angemon.
The second, was a tad larger than Angemon, but he was clad in more armor. He had a purple visor, purple shield, and two cybernetic wings. Strapped to his wrist was something that resembled a watch.
The third being, was feminine. She resembled Angemon, was clad in white, and had a purple boa wrapped around her arms and around her neck.
"Greetings digidestined," Angemon said.
"Er.Hi," Jason managed.
"We have long been watching your progress from afar," The female digimon revealed.
"That's good.but if you've been watching us, you saw some of the trouble we've gotten ourselves into.WHY DIDN'T YOU OFFER A HELPING HAND!?" Savannah asked forcefully.
Tentomon was quick to try to cover her mouth.
"Uh.forgive my partner," He interrupted. "She's got a strange attitude."
"Angewomon, would you please continue," the other angel stated.
"Gladly," Angewomon nodded. "You all show great talent," She continued. "But talent alone will not save you."
"Which is why we've been helping you along the way," Angemon said. "Know now that had you been left to your devices, you'd all be dead by now."
"So quit patting yourselves on the back and get on with it," Sarah rolled her eyes.
"We knew, after the defeat of Echomon, that you would be the ones to save the world," The purple visored digimon stated. "However, you realize that your abilities needed to be bolstered. That is why we placed power inside those vessels that you termed 'Crest Chips', hoping that you would discover a way to tap into the energy."
"Each chip represents a certain trait, but we were unable to assign these traits, and had to hope that they would correspond to your personalities." Angewomon revealed.
"And they did, thus granting you the power to digivolve to the next level," Angemon said. "We hoped that this would be enough for you to do, as Magnaangemon said, save the world."
"Woah woah woah, you said that these things corresponded to our personalities.what does each one represent?" Lauren asked.
"Why yours is the Crest of Faith," Angewomon said. "You always believe that everything will work out for the best."
"Yours is that of Harmony," Magnaangemon stated, indicating Sarah. "Your desire for teamwork and everything working in-synch is revealed.
"The Crest of Resilience chose you," Angemon told Jay. "You take your lumps and always come back for more. Even in your stint as leader of this ragtag bunch, you nearly failed, but endured and bounced back."
"You are filled with Compassion," Magnaangemon said turning toward Medusa. "No matter what you show kindness and concideration."
"Tolerance can be found in you," Angewomon explained, nodding toward Savannah. Despite all the problems that you might weather, you shrug them off and deal with the big picture."
"Refusing to give up," Angemon said. "I admire that. You exhibit this perfectly, no matter how large the problem, you never rest until you solve it. That is why you have the Crest of Determination."
"You always stick by your friends and never cross them," Angewomon said. "None are as loyal as you, thus you justly hold the Crest of Loyalty."
Jason looked down.
"Why does the chosen feel shame?" Angemon asked.
"Well," Jason began. "I saw when mostly everybody tapped into their power, and I saw the connection with their crest. But what about me? Do I have the Crest of Suicidal Tendencies or something?"
This brought a smile to even Magnaangemon's face. "No," He smiled. "Your selfless acts have granted you the Crest of Benevolence." Jason looked up. "You are always willing to sacrifice your safety for the safety of others," Magnaangemon continued. "That is why you were chosen."
CHOSEN? You mean there was some test for this? Find out what these angelic messengers are talking about on the next installment of NDW. I_NUKEM: Did I mention how much I hated filler chapters?
Coyomon: Not in the last five minutes.
I_NUKEM: Just as long as everyone realizes it, and I hope to be back to action next chapter.
So review or.I'll turn you into a bug and put you in a box, and put that box inside a bigger box, and put that box inside a bigger box, and I'll mail that box to myself and when it arrives I'll hit it with a mallet.
*sighs* Gimme a break its late.
Jake: *looks around and shrugs* Wow Nukem really meant it.
Jess: You mean you have nothing better to do than stand around?
Jake: Yep. Lets get started.
Jess: Well it will be really easy, seeing as it was so short.
Jake: Everyone landed after the cyclone dispersed.
Jess: But the interlude wasn't very long-lived as Titanimon recovered rapidly, and began chasing after Jason and Lauren.
Jake: Jason hit a roadblock and went flying, pulling Lauren along for the ride.
Jess: Seeing that running was futile, Lauren got up and stood her ground.
Jake: She was so sure of their victory that she began glowing.
Jess: Gathering energy, she fired a ball containing her faith at the magnetized arm.
Jake: AND IT BLEW UP!!!
Jess: *looks at Jake and sighs* drained of her strength, Lauren was forced to make one final proclamation.
Jake: This was enough to activate her crest, causing Daizetmon to chrono digivolve to Dazairmon.
Jess: This metallic kitty sent Titanimon back to the scrap yard.
I_NUKEM: *enters the area* nice work
Jake: Er.thanks.
I_NUKEM: Jake, sorry about that barney thing.
Jake: Well as long as I can be in the story I'll be happy, so when are you gonna put me in?
