------This Makes Us Friends?------
It was dark when Crystal got back to her apartment, still the hallway lights confirmed that the refridgerator was still lodged in the wall. The doorway was still doorless. There was still a massive hole in the ceiling from when Lip dropped by for his visit. There were pizza boxes all over the floor when she walked inside, but Reiya was already sound asleep in the second bedroom.
Crystal turned off the living room light as she came inside and started down the hallway with Pichu on her shoulder, regardless of her backpack. It was quiet.
*-*-*-*
"Well Crystal, you were only gone for a week and a half," said Reiya the next morning at breakfast.
Breakfast consisted of even more pizza. Crystal wondered if there was anything else that Reiya actually ate and decided against it from the number of empty pizza boxes on the floor.
"I was doing some thinking," replied Crystal. "Have you considered cleaning up this mess?"
"It's crossed my mind," said Reiya.
Pichu simply said, "Pichu."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"It almost feels like I know Crystal from somewhere," Inuyasha was saying.
Miroku asked, "What makes you think that?"
"It's a little strange when you've only met a person four times and it seems like you know what they are thinking before they say anything," replied Inuyasha sounding a little sarcastic.
Sango asked, "Is that what happened with Crystal when you were talking to her?"
Inuyasha nodded, "It was really strange."
"You do have a lot in common," noted Shippo.
Miroku nodded, "Indeed. It isn't surprising that you can understand what she was thinking."
"I get the feeling we're going to be seeing a lot more of her," said Sango.
Inuyasha said, "She and that friend of hers definately making good warriors."
Kagome finally came through the well with a very full looking backpack.
"You're late," stated Inuyasha.
Kagome sweatdropped, "I had to get some things."
Kagome started passing out the new food packages that were stuffed in the backpack. It was going to be a long day in Feudal Japan.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
To the surprise of many residence of Nerima, Furinkan High School had survived the night. The students were mostly disappointed. The usual suspects were rushing towards the school to avoid being late. They were Ranma and Akane.
"What do ya know, school's open," said Ranma like he didn't have a care in the world.
This was short lived as he landed on a section of fence that read "Loose Fence" and was promptly turned female by the cold water on the other side.
"Now we're going to be late," said Akane irritatedly.
*-*-*-*
Ranma, back in boy form, and Akane somehow managed to arrive at the school on time anyway. This was good, because Ranma was overdue for having his aura drained by Hinako-sensei.
"Yo, Ucchan," called Ranma across the classroom.
Ukyo walked over by Ranma and Akane, wearing the boy's school uniform as usual.
"Ran-chan, you actually made it on time," said Ukyo.
"He had help," stated Akane.
Crystal and Reiya burst through the door. The bell rang, but they were safe.
"That was close," sighed Crystal.
Reiya shrugged, "A few more seconds and we would have been late."
"We weren't though," noted Crystal.
Everyone started taking their usual seats.
"So, Crystal when did you get back?" asked Ukyo.
"Late last night," replied Crystal holding back a yawn.
*-*-*-*
Lunchtime came. Ranma, Akane, Ukyo, Crystal and Reiya were all sitting outside, under a tree. Pichu was on Crystal's shoulder. Crystal had already explained the Washu incident to all of them, which was surprisingly understood by Reiya.
"It sounds like you had a pretty interesting trip," said Ranma.
Crystal shrugged, "I suppose you could say that."
**Crash**
"What was that sound?" asked Ukyo.
"I don't know Ucchan," said Ranma.
The group waited.
**Crash**
"It sounds like it's getting closer," said Reiya.
Crystal raised an eyebrow, "No kidding."
The group continued to wait.
**CRASH**
A monster that greatly resembled a living tank burst through the wall surrounding Furinkan High School. This would not have been so shocking if Ranma, Akane, Ukyo and Crystal had known that this creature was actually a Digimon called Tankmon. As it was, none of them had a clue. However, Reiya knew exactly what the monster was.
"I'm here for the Chosen Digimon," stated the Tankmon attempting to sound menacing.
Reiya was not intimidated by this, "I'm right here, if you think you stand a chance."
Reiya's form literally began to glow with a bright light and her form started to shrink. When the glow faded, Reiya was replaced by a small dragon-like monster. To be exact, she had taken on a form that looked remarkably like a Black Veemon, aside from the emerald green eyes, the silver and gold stripe pattern on its black scales, and the obvious addition of her silvery claws. Crystal recognized this monster as the Rookie form of her creator's partner Digimon, Zapmon.
Zapmon took up a sort of fighting stance as silver electricity began to surge around her clawed hands. She slashed forward causing a streak of the electricity to shoot directly at Tankmon while she shouted, "Silver Lightning!" announcing her attack.
The electrical attack bounced right off of Tankmon's metallic skin. Zapmon returned to her fighting stance and glared at Tankmon without fear.
It occured to Crystal that the larger monster was probably one of those Champion level digimon and that Zapmon didn't stand a chance against him on her own. She wasn't entirely sure what she could do against something that was literally built like a tank, but she didn't really want to watch the little dragon get pulverized either.
Zapmon was holding up one hand with two fingers pointing upward. A small ball of fire in the shape of a razor, spiral-blade formed above her fingers and she launched it at the Tankmon with a shout of, "Blade of Fire!" to announce her alternative attack.
The attack connected with Tankmon without being deflected, but it really didn't do anything in terms of damage. Tankmon seemed to sneer at the Rookie level Digimon as he aimed the cannon that was his nose at her and shouted, "Hyper Cannon!" to announce his attack before a large brown missile shot from the cannon.
Zapmon dived to the side to avoid the attack. Tankmon seemed to shrug this off as he aimed the large assortment of weapons on each of his arms at the dragon. She could not dodge this much fire power and he knew it. He shouted, "Machine Gun Arms!" announcing his attack as he released everything he had on the little dragon.
The first wave knocked Zapmon backwards into the tree that the group had been eating lunch under. Needless to say, the group had already scattered, but was still watching this monster battle with some interest.
Tankmon aimed his cannon, hoping to get the dragon while she was still down. He shouted, "Hyper Cannon!" and let the missile fly.
Crystal's voice sounded, "Gin Hikari!" and a silver ball of energy connected with the missile that was headed for Zapmon, causing it to explode in midair without harming anyone. It simply released a cloud of smoke into the air, which faded quickly.
[Silver Light, Mystic Light]
Tankmon turned a glare towards Crystal who was located up in the tree. She glared right back at him as he aimed his cannon in preparation for another shot. Crystal was preparing to unleash another energy blast when a strange object appeared in the air in front of her.
It was a reasonably simple object really. It was a Digivice of some kind, in this case a model made-up by her creator that was called the D-storm. It basically looked like a D-scanner with several additions like a Card Slash port and a control pad like the one on a gameboy. It also included several bonus features that were quite useful and to top it all off, it looked pretty cool too.
Crystal grabbed the object and realized that her creator was giving her a little help as a character, because in the near future she would probably need it. She reached out and took the Digivice in her hand. Tankmon shouted, "Hyper Cannon!" once again and fired a missile up at Crystal.
In her distraction with the Digivice, Crystal had forgotten to prepare her counter-attack. Zapmon was up again and started glowing at the Digivice in Crystal's hand also started to glow. Crystal remembered this process, like many of the others that had just happened.
"Zapmon digivolve to..." started the small dragon.
Zapmon's form was engulfed in a brilliant showing of light and noise. She increased in size dramatically, still maintaining her dragon-like form. Her new form looked remarkably like that of Ex Veemon. Her eyes maintained the emerald green color of her Rookie form, but her scales that had been black had taken on an appearence that suggested that she was literally on fire.
The light faded, and Crystal saw a Champion form of Zapmon that she had not seen before. This was not the usual Zapdramon evolution, this one was obviously different for some reason. At least she would stand a chance against Tankmon in this new form.
The new form of Zapmon shouted, "Nova Zapdramon!"
Nova Zapdramon knocked the missile back at Tankmon with ease. Then, while Tankmon was recovering from the explosion Nova Zapdramon openned her mouth and shouted, "Inferno!" announcing her own new attack, which consisted of an explosive blaze of fire shooting out of her mouth and incinerating the Tankmon.
Tankmon shattered into data and drifted off into what appeared to be a rift in the sky. The rift closed as the data cloud vanished. Nova Zapdramon lit up again and shrunk back down into Zapmon.
Crystal shrugged and put the D-storm Digivice into her pocket for use later on.
"It looks like we'll make a good team," said the dragon. "Sorry about the big secret up until now."
Crystal nodded, "It's alright, it wouldn't have been easier even if you had said so from the beginning."
Ranma, Akane and Ukyo were staring in shock at what had just happened. It hadn't quite registered that the battle was over.
"I won't be returning to that temporary human form," noted Zapmon.
Crystal shrugged, "I think this form suits you better anyway."
"Pichu," agreed Pichu.
*-*-*-*
"You're going back to the Feudal Era again?" asked Zapmon from the couch.
Between the three of them, Crystal, Zapmon and Pichu had managed to rid the entire apartment of empty pizza boxes.
"Yeah, I have a feel I should," replied Crystal.
Zapmon nodded, "And Pichu and I will stay here and keep an eye on the place."
"Basically," replied Crystal.
Zapmon smirked, "You already know I can read minds."
"That's for sure," muttered Crystal.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Is it just me or was that extremely weird?" asked Ranma.
Akane shrugged, "Let's just pretend that didn't happen until Crystal comes back and explains it to us, how's that?"
"Agreed," said Ranma and Ukyo.
Ranma asked, "Do you think that was the thing that has been blowing up Furinkan though?"
"What did we just say Ran-chan?" asked Ukyo.
Ranma sweatdropped, "Nevermind."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After packing the essential things and traveling to the Masaki residence, Crystal was ready for Washu to teleport her back to the Feudal Era.
"Have a nice trip," said Washu.
"I'm sure I will," replied Crystal.
*-*-*-*
Crystal wasn't in the Feudal Era ten minutes before she was being chased by a demon. This particular demon looked something like a giant, humanoid lizard with a very big sword.
Crystal was starting to wonder why it was that every time she came to the Feudal Era she ended up being chased and eventually attacked.
*-*-*-*
Coincidentally, Inuyasha's group was in pursuit of the very same demon. The reason they were after this particular demon was for a very specific reason, it had a fragment of the Shikon Jewel.
"You're sure you can sense a Shikon Fragment?" Inuyasha asked for the third time.
"Yes," answered Kagome.
Inuyasha blinked, "That scent...she's back already."
"You mean Crystal?" asked Shippo.
Inuyasha took off ahead of the group.
*-*-*-*
Crystal tripped over something on the trail ahead of her, and was sent sprawling to the ground. The lizard man swung its massive sword downward in an attempt to split her in half. He hit something alright, the ground.
Crystal was more than a little surprised to feel herself lifted off the ground and saved from harms way. She was more surprised when she was standing in a nearby tree after Inuyasha had set her down and returned to finish off the lizard man for the Shikon Shard.
Inuyasha was already holding the transformed Tetsusaiga as he gave a good swing at the lizard man while shouting, "Kaze no Kizu!" causing a powerful burst of energy to slice the lizard man to pieces, leaving the Shikon Shard on the ground. He put the Tetsusaiga away and grabbed the Shikon Fragment.
[Cutting Wind, Windscar]
Crystal jumped down from her place in the tree, "It looks like I owe you for saving me this time."
"Why don't we call it even since you did save my group when I wasn't at full power?" asked Inuyasha.
Crystal said, "Alright then. Regardless of how it happened, I guess this means we're friends."
"Something like that," said Inuyasha reasonably confused by Crystal's logic.
The rest of the group caught up to find that the battle was already over.
"Inuyasha, where's the Shikon Fragment?" asked Kagome.
Inuyasha asked, "What Shikon Fragment?"
"Hand it over," said Kagome, "I know you have it."
Inuyasha said, "I don't have it."
"What is a Shikon Fragment?" asked Crystal.
"This," replied Inuyasha removing the fragment from concealment.
Kagome snatched it and quickly put it in the jar with the rest of the ones that had already been collected. Inuyasha grabbed for the jar.
"Sit!" stated Kagome.
**Wham**
Inuyasha hit the ground face-first. Crystal decided not to ask.
"How long are you planning to stay this time?" asked Sango.
Crystal shrugged, "I haven't decided yet."
"Are you going to travel with us for a while?" asked Shippo.
"I suppose it wouldn't hurt to be around others instead of hiding out in the trees," agreed Crystal.
Inuyasha was on his feet again, "What happened to that hungry friend of yours?"
"Oh, Shiva? He's off training," replied Crystal. "He was inspired to become stronger after seeing what kind of creatures exist in this era."
Miroku said, "And another lovely young lady joins our group."
"Don't even think about it!" exclaimed Kagome, Sango and Crystal.
