Digimon Adventures: V-Tamer 02
Chapter2
Taichi's Greatest Enemy Appears...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside one of the chambers of Holy Angel Castle, Lord Holy Angemon waits with general, Leo the Panjimon and Gekovitch the Shogun Gekomon.
"They're not going to come..." Gekovitch said.
Leo crosses his arms. "It's not like we'll need them for this."
"But Zeromaru and Gabo will be joyful to see Taichi once again." Holy Angemon explained.
Gekovitch change the subject since he's worrying about the two humans that came just a while ago. "You shouldn't trust Neo that much yet."
Holy Angemon responds, "I do not see any reasons not to trust him."
Gekovitch was mad at Holy Angemon's reaction to Neo. "He was once our enemy and the Tamer of Arcademon; we should be extra caution to him."
Holy Angemon replies, "Well, Taichi and the others believe in him so I believe that he would not try anything... drastic."
"Absurd is more like it..." Gekovitch mutters.
"Did you say something?" Holy Angemon angrily asked.
Before Gekovitch could answer a bright light generating from a circle on the floor started engulfing the room.
"Ah... He's here."
Taichi appears from the light. 'Alright I'm here again… Sorry Mom, Dad…'
"TAICHI!!!"
Zeromaru ran across the room and hug Taichi with all his might.
The pain was getting to Taichi's head. "AHH. I MISS YOU TOO!!! LET GO! IT'S HURTS!!!"
Zero let go his tamer and scratches his head in embarrassment. "He he... sorry..."
Taichi then notice something about his Digimon. "Zero? WHY ARE YOU BACK TO YOUR PERFECT?!"
"Uh... no reason..."
"That's the only way he can eat! Hey Taichi!" A Gabumon pops up from behind Zero's head. "It was right after you left."
"Hey Gabo! Nice to see you too!" Taichi greeted his friend. "What do you mean by 'the only way he can eat'?"
Gabo explains, "Oh that mask of his blocks his face so..."
Taichi picture the image of Ulforce V-Dramon trying to pull out a large peace of meat that is stuck in the mouth opening of the mask. "You're still the same."
Zero just tosses Gabo off of his head. "You didn't have to tell him that!"
"Oh I just want to see your reaction," Gabo replied with a laugh.
"Well here's my reaction!" Zero starts chasing Gabo all over the room.
Taichi chuckles. "He he..."
Holy Angemon walk up to Taichi. "It was a good thing that you arrive right now."
Taichi turn to the voice. "Hey Holy Angemon, Hey Leo, Hey Blow Horn. What's up?"
"STOP CALLING ME 'BLOW HORN'!" Gekovitch screamed.
Holy Angemon continual talking. "Taichi this is a dire situation."
That caught Taichi's attention. "Huh?"
"Ever since Demon was destroyed there have been followers that still wouldn't disband." Holy Angemon explained.
"Oh," Taichi replied, "That's nothing to be worrying about... Hey did you've seen a little girl by any chance?"
"You mean your little sister, Hikari, right?" Holy Angemon asked.
Taichi stared at him wondering how he would know about his sister.
Holy Angemon read Taichi's thoughts, "Rei just asked me about that a while ago. It was the first thing she did when she got here."
"Oh I see..." Taichi smiles. 'I'll try to thank her...'
"It's getting late... I'll tell you everything that has been going on tomorrow." Holy Angemon explained. "Get some rest."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That night, Taichi lay on the bed looking at the ceiling. There are a lot of things going through his head right now.
'What am I doing here?' Taichi sat up. 'I shouldn't be here right now...'
He picks his goggles and headband, and left his room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taichi walk outside to the front gate to do some thinking. The sky had already darkened and the moon is the only light.
'What am I going to? She's somewhere in this world and I don't know where to start looking.'
While deep in though a voice calls out to him, "Taichi?"
Taichi turn to the voice. "Rei. What are you doing still up?"
Rei chirp out happily, "Taichi... I'm supposed to be the one to ask you that."
"Uh... Sorry..." Taichi started to explain. "I was just wondering what my sister is doing right now."
Rei smiles, "You're a good brother are you not?"
Taichi didn't answer.
Rei look at him, confusingly. His face showed pain... "Taichi?"
"Rei... When we were searching for her back home... I... I..." Taichi looks like he was about to lose it.
"Taichi..."
He coughs himself before he could brake down and put on a smile, "Oh... I'm fine... Don't worry about it... "
Rei studied his face, he may look happy, or try to be, but in the inside he's really hurting. "Taichi... I bet that if she knows that you are here, she would worry about you too."
Taichi pointed at himself. "But... I'm the Oniisan..."
Rei look at Taichi, admitting defeat..."Come on... Let's get some rest so we can look for her tomorrow."
"Um..." Taichi nodded and start walking back inside.
Rei follows him as they walk back into the castle. 'I'm not good at cheering people up...'
While the two was walking towards the hall to the guess rooms, down on the other side of the main hall lights started glowing out of the room where's the portal to the real world is. This caught their attention and they walk there to see someone who's wearing a mask that covers his face.
"Alright... Let's go..." Sigma said in a really deep tone trying to sound tough.
The room starts brighten again and something or someone landed on Sigma.
"Ouch! That hurts..." Mari cried out and then sees who's she's on top of, "Hello Sigma!"
The lower parts of Sigma's mask falls off. "Not again..."
"You don't need it. Here let me help you with that." Mari quickly grabs the remaining part of the mask and tries to pull it off Sigma.
"Let go, let go, let go..." Sigma chanted as he tries to stop her by holding the mask to his face.
Seeing that scene made Rei burst out in laughter, and pretty soon so did Taichi...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The group of humans and Digimons arrange to meet at the main hall the next morning. Rei showed up looking very tired with messy hair, and yawn.
"What were you doing up so late last night?" Neo asked his sister.
"Oh... Nothing," Rei answered.
Taichi also showed up looking the same way and also yawned.
Neo looks at him with murderous intention in his eyes. "Don't tell me..."
"Huh?" Taichi look on confused.
Neo ran right to Taichi and starts to shack him violently with this hands around his neck. "YOU DID MY SISTER! DIDN'T YOU!?!"
Rei started blushing in embarrassment from hearing that from her brother.
Taichi look shocked, confused, and terrorized, "Huh?! What? I did what to Rei?"
"DON'T YOU ACT LIKE IT'S NOTHING!!!" Neo reels his right arm back and make a fist.
"NO! IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT!" Rei cried out trying to stop him from punching Taichi.
Neo didn't even hear Taichi's plead and launch his fist. "DIE!!!"
Before his fist connected to Taichi's face, another teenager stopped it.
"Hey, hey, hey... You know that he's not capable of something like that." It was Hideto whom grabbed Neo's elbow. "Just let them explain..."
Rei was glad to see that he came at a good time to stop her brother. "Hideto you made it."
Neo was annoyed that he showed up and releasing his grip on the kid. "When did you get here?"
"An hour ago..."
"Didn't I say the word 'tonight,' not the next morning?" Neo asked angrily.
Hideto answered, "Sorry... I fell asleep while waiting for my parent to."
Neo just stared at him as if he was an idiot. He turns back to Rei and Taichi. "Just what the hell were you two doing last night?"
Taichi was wondering what Neo assumed that he said. "We were just talking... that's it."
Hideto whispers into Neo's ear. "And besides they're too young for that."
Neo starts looking down upon Taichi. "Tell me... Have you reach puberty yet?"
"Huh?" Taichi looks on confused like a star has hit him.
In the background Rei was blushing very red.
Neo step back. "You better not."
"COME ON TAKE IT OFF!!!"
"NO!!!"
The heads turns to the direction of the voices.
Sigma is running away from Mari while holding his mask to his face. "I want to keep it on!"
"Just take it off... Pretty please..." Mari cried.
"No, no, no, no, NO!"
Neo started getting angry again, he just found out that Taichi is talking a lot to his sister, and then these two comedians started acting up again , "WOULD YOU TWO CUT IT OUT!?!"
The scream manages to startle the two into stopping.
"And here I though Blowhorn was loud." Taichi commented.
"Everyone is here now..." Holy Angemon walked in with Leo and Gekovitch.
It's just the morning and Neo is already in a bad mood. Right now he just wants to end the rest of the day and demands, "What the hell's going on since we've been gone?"
Gekovitch despised his attitude, "MIND YOUR MANNERS!!!"
Neo glared angrily at Gekovitch so bad that it scared him. Neo's eyes resemble the time when he invaded the castle with the Demon Army. "If you're going to say something then makes it important... Nothing more, nothing less."
"It's just loose ends from the war." Holy Angemon stated.
"Loose ends?" Neo asked with anger in his tone. "Explain..."
"Ever since Demon was defeated by Zero, there have been numerous groups claming to be followers of the Demon Army." Holy Angemon finished.
Hideto worried that they might go to war again. "Are they going to be a problem?"
"No," Holy Angemon answered, "however if they were to continue revoking, countless of innocent Digimon will be hurt or killed in the fight."
Taichi mutters under his breath, "Great... My sister is missing here... and here is about to be at war again... she's going to get hurt..."
"Is there's any reason why they revoked?" Sigma asked. "The war was over..."
"They just want to rule the entire continent of Folder even without Demon," Leo answered, "they are just greedy."
"How's the war going on now?" Hideto asked.
"Most of the members have being caught and imprisoned," Leo explained, "but we are having heavy resistant miles away from Star city, it's just a matter of time before we get them."
"I've sent Iga with a few of my Knightmon there and see if we can find any information about that group of rebellion," Holy Angemon explained.
"Hey Good Morning!" Zero walked into the hall. "Did I miss anything?"
"No not at all." Holy Angemon replied.
Gabo also enters the hall with a backpack strapped. "Hey are we ready to go yet? The other Tamer's Digimons are waiting outside."
Taichi wasn't actually paying attention to the conversation, "Go where?"
"To Star city of course." Gabo said as a matter of fact.
"Oh... yeah... right... the rebellion..."
"Are you okay?" Zero asked him. He rarely sees Taichi acting this strange.
"Yes..."
Rei was looking around for something but she couldn't find it. "Um... where's Pal and Pul? I haven't seen them since we got here."
"I don't know. They just disappeared after I sent Iga to Star city." Holy Angemon replied.
"I bet that they went along with him and starts seeing stars," Gabo rest assured Rei, "I can picture them running around there asking everyone for an autograph."
"Let's go there already!" Mari cheeped out loud. "I heard that place there is fun! We are going to Party!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The group decided to fly to Star city. They are flying in separate groups.
Neo is riding on his Gryphomon with Rei sitting behind him.
"Neo, can I ask you something?" Rei started.
"Go ahead." Neo answer.
"So? Did you come here along to help Taichi?" Rei asked.
"What do you think?" Neo asked… somewhat hurt about that question.
Rei smiles.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I am so glad that you made it back okay." Mari chirped as Rosemon is carrying her.
"I thought that I was a goner back then." Rosemon replied. "Arcademon couldn't manage to kill me and I ripped his arm off!"
During the conversation Mari recalls the time she found out her Digimon is still alive.
"I'm home..." Mari closes the door to her house.
A large man was sitting on the dining table and apparently putting some rice into his mouth. "Where have you been this time?" He said with food in his mouth.
"No where..." She just walks to into her room and closes the door. 'Look's like I'm the only one that makes it back.'
pelit, pelit...
"Huh?" Mari look around, "Where's that coming from?"
pelit, pelit...
"Ah... probably nothing..." Mari flops onto her bed, and the sound continues.
pelit, pelit...
pelit, pelit...
pelit, pelit...
pelit, pelit...
pelit, pelit...
pelit, pelit, pelit, pelit, pelit, pelit, pelit, pelit, pelit, pelit, pelit, pelit.
"MARI!!! TURN OFF YOUR MONSTER TOY!!! I'M TRYING TO EAT!!!" The man shouted.
"Monster?" Mari realize in shock. She jumps out of bed and start digging her pile of clothing. "ROSEMON!!!"
After she reaches the bottom of the pile she found her Digimon V-pets. The constant's beeping was an indication that the Digimon is in critical state.
"Don't worry Rosemon, I'll save you!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So how's your Digimon?" Hideto and Sigma are riding on Omegamon.
Sigma is holding a small Digimon in his arm. "It was hard raising P... I mean Candlemon from the beginning... at least his soul came back when Demon was destroyed."
"I'll get as strong as before." Candlemon happily replied. "and then stronger! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Hideto sweat drop... "Okay... then..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Right in the front of the group is Taichi and Gabo riding on Zero's back. It seems like Taichi is wearing the cape that he had gotten from Holy Angel castle.
...
...
...
"WOULD YOU TWO SAY SOMETHING!?!" Gabo shouted.
"Eh?"
"Huh?"
"THE SILENCE IS KILLING ME!!!" It's funny that he said that, when they first travel through the Continent of Folder, he wanted those two to stop yapping, but now he get his wish and it's annoying him.
"Wha... what?" Taichi just calmly asked.
"Is something wrong?" Zero asked while concentrating on flying.
"Ever since you've got here, Taichi, you and Zero haven't been dancing around or anything!"
"And that's a bad thing?" Taichi asked.
Gabo just stared oddly. "You think it's a good thing then?"
Zero heard that question. "HEY!!!"
Before Zero and continual on Taichi replied, "it's nothing really.... I've just been thinking..."
"Bout what?" Gabo asked.
"It's nothing," Taichi stated.
Gabo decided he shouldn't continual. 'Humans are so weird.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
""I'd told you we shouldn't come here!"
"Oh... really? When?"
Two little Digimon are wondering around Star town working on their hobbies. Collecting autographs of anyone who's famous.
"Right when you suggested it!" Pal shouted to her brother.
"Uh... I did?" Pul asked confusingly with his boogers swinging left and right.
"YES YOU DID!!! Not once we'd run into someone who's famous..." Pal screams while waving her wand angrily. "Just that stupid stuck up Mayor, Starmon!"
"But he'll eventually turn into Super Starmon!" Pul cheerfully said. "You know... Super Star!"
Pal lean face to face with her brother and screams. "IT'S JUST A NAME!!!"
The two froze there for a moment until a Koromon bounce pass.
"They're here! They're here!" The Koromon screamed.
A few dozen other Digimons ran by and trampling Pal.
Pal pried her face off the ground. "Eh? Wha... What's going on?"
"See? I'd told you we should come here!" Pul said and flew off in the direction the Digimons were heading.
"Ahruughh!!!" Pal screamed in frustration. "Calm down Pal... just calm down... you know that Pul's like this..." She convinces herself and follows her dimwitted brother.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I was sure it's suppose to say 'Where stars lives'" Gabo ponders.
As soon as Taichi's group got screaming fans running towards them as soon as they set foot into town.
"HEY LOOK!!! It's Taichi and Zero!!! YEAH!!!"
"And Zero got wings now!!!"
Taichi just don't know how to react…"Hee… hee… Guess we're still famous."
"Hum... let's see," Gabo handed Zero a pen and papers.
Zero cleared his throat and yells, "Who wants an autograph?!?"
"Me! Me! Me!"
The huge group of Digimons, mostly in their baby form, tackled Zero, apparently trying to get his autograph.
"Yep it does."
Taichi sweat drop, "Zero…"
Rei showed up and greeted them. "Hey Taichi-kun…" Seeing Zero being at the bottom of the pile. "Um… Zeromaru-kun?"
"Can you sign my picture? Can you sign this for my sister? Can you sign my head? And this one for my other sister… Ah!!! Not there!!!"
Rei and the others rest sweet drops. "Okay… anyway Taichi…"
"Yes?"
"I've already asked Iga if he had seen your sister…" Rei looks down with a sad look on her face, "but he didn't see her."
Taichi looks at her and smiles. "Thanks Rei…" His face shows that there was a question on his mind, "but… why are you doing this?"
"Oh… Well it's just…" She giggles a bit… "It's reminded me of another younger sister whom got lost here."
This brought back memories… When Taichi first found Rei in the Digital world, she was running and screaming from a couple of Flymons… And right after they rescue her she… Wait… that's…
Taichi blush as he thinks about that time.
"What's wrong?" Rei asked.
Taichi shake his head and blurted out. "No…no… it's nothing."
"Where is Iga?" Gabo asked. "I though he would greet us himself when we came in."
"He's busy talking with the Mayor, Starmon." Rei said. "My brother is with them now. Come on I'll show you."
As Rei lead Taichi and Gabo away from the crowd, Pal and Pul arrive on the seen.
"I'd told you no one is here." Pal said angrily.
"But but… then what with all those screaming and yelling?" Pul asked confusingly.
"Who knows? I bet they won't know if there is anyone to get autographs." Pal approach the piled up Digimons. "Hey! Are there any famous person here?!"
All the Digimons stop what they're doing and stared at her for a second, then go back making noise.
"See." Pal stated. "Come on let's get out of here before that dumb iron head Digimon finds us."
Pul followed Pal as they left the seen.
'Strange… I thought I just heard Pal and Pul…' Zero thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'You've got to be kidding me…' Neo though as he's sitting down on a chair with his arms lying on a square that the Mayor called -The Coliseum- talks about how he should be the star of this place.
Iga was right next to Neo watching him. As far as he can see, Starmon had pretty much annoyed Neo.
"And that no one could catch me in less than 3 minutes… except for that time when Blue boy cheated." Starmon bragged. "Then there was this time when Gekomon here almost beat him in singing… do you want to hear it?"
"No." Neo answered angrily.
Unfortunately Starmon didn't hear him. "TAKE IT AWAY GEKOMON!!!"
"With pleasure!" Gekomon started singing.
"TOOO NIGGGHIT IEEE DON'TTTT WAAAAANNNNAAA SSSEEE YOOOOU CRIEEEEEEEE… AAAAAAANNNNNDDDD ITTTTTT ISSS AAA PEEEEESSSSFULLLL NIIIIGHHTTTT… SOOO PLEASSSSS JUSSSSTTTT BEEEEEE HAAAPPPYY ANNNNNNDDDD LAAAAAUGHHTTT!!!"
Neo hung onto his head and shout out. "SHUT UP!!! OR ELSE YOU'RE DEAD!!!"
"Calm down… Calm down…" Iga started panicking... If Neo decided to fight against Holy Angel Castle again… then there will be as much trouble as before.
Neo pick up the Ninjamon. "You stay out of it!"
"Neo's getting restless again?"
"Huh?" Neo turn to see Hideto and the rest of the Allies 3.
"I think you should let him go now." Hideto said.
"Hpth." Neo toss Iga down. "You were lucky."
"Here comes Taichi and Rei now." Hideto mention.
Neo just mutters under his breath.
"Hey Taichi's here." Rei responded, "Hey, the rest of you guys are here already."
"Yep... and Rei there's a really big mall and we should go shopping there!" Mari shouted.
Rei sweat drop, "Um… sure…"
Taichi walk up to the Ninjamon with Gabo. "Hey Iga… Long time no see."
"Hey Taichi… Gabo…"
"Can you brief us with the situation?" Gabo asked.
"There isn't anything going on right now… The group of Digimons that was once a part of Demon's army isn't moving, just staying far from here." Iga explained.
"So I'm not needed here then." Taichi said.
"Huh?" Iga looked confused.
"You can handle this, right Iga?" Taichi said, "If you can handle it then I'll take off now." He said and left before anyone can say anything.
"What's that about?" Iga asked.
"Remember that little girl I asked you about?" Rei asked.
"Yeah…"
"That was his little sister." Rei replied, "and he had been looking for her since we got here."
"I see," Iga let off a buff of air, if this situation with the rebels continues, then we might need Taichi and Zero's help.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'She's not here ether.' Taichi thought with his head facing down as he walks around the town... 'Now what am I going to do?'
"Hey! looks who's here!"
"Huh?" Taichi looks up and see two familiar Digimons, Pal and Pul. "Oh... Hey..."
Pal look at Taichi with a mean face. "Oh hey? What's up with that? I thought you'll be happy to see us."
"Maybe he's sick or something?"
"Pul, I'm fine." Taichi said... Then he just thought of something... "Hey, did any of you see a little human girl in the Digital World?"
"Can't say I have..." Pal replied.
Pul was confused. "What's a little human girl look like?"
Taichi just put his head down and start walking away ignoring the two.
"Don't walk off like that!" Pal shouted.
Taichi didn't manage to get far while he was looking down, he accidentally bump into something... or someone...
"Hey human, how dare you touch me like that." It was another Digimon twice as big as Taichi, it wore full body armor and who's carrying a big double-edge sword.
Taichi seen Digimons similar to this one, it was a Knightmon, must be one of the men of Holy Angel Army he though as he just ignore it and starts walking pass him. However the Digimon put the sword in his path.
"Aren't you going to apologize to me?" The Digimon ask with an angry voice.
Taichi look at the Digimon. "What?"
"Fine, be that way..."
Much to Taichi's surprise, the Digimon lift his sword overhead and bring it down on him.
Right before the blade got close to Taichi's head, Pal and Pul grabs on to shoulders of Taichi's cape and pulls him out of harm's way and flies off. The ground cement where Taichi used to be was crushed by the force of the blade.
"Dammit!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The two PetitMamon manage to find a small, near by house far away from that Kightmon and set Taichi down on it.
"What the heck was that about!?!" Taichi asked.
Pal look at him. "That's why I'd told you not to walk off like that!" Pal continues to inhale and exhale, trying to catch her breath... It was hard flying someone over five times her weight. "That jerk back there is one of those Knightmon that Iga is suppose to be commanding."
"He's not friendly." Pul added on. "He almost did the same to me."
Taichi twitches, "And he's on our side?"
"Yep... However, I don't think Iga even knows about this." Pal said.
"I see..." Taichi got up and start walking towards the ledge. "I'll let someone else deal with it..."
Pal can only blinks as she just heard that, "You'll what?"
"I'm kind of busy to be dealing with this... Later" Taichi hop off the house and landed on his feet, the house wasn't high enought to actually hurt him. As he walks off he ponders what to do next. 'Hikari isn't here... I hope that she is okay right now... If only I knew where she is... I think I should go to the facility where Jijimon and some of the army are watching...'
He looks towards the sun... 'It's starting to get dark... I guess we'll leave tomorrow...'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day...
"What?!? You're leaving already?"
Taichi, Zero, and Gabo, are facing the gate of StarCity. They are ready for their departure.
'What am I, a luggage carrier?' Gabo stated as he carries the Digital backpack.
"So... You're ditching us already..." Neo said with a matter of fact.
"No... It's not like that..." Taichi thinks for a bit... "Okay, so it is like that."
"Aww... You're no fun..." Mari said sadly, and then turns to Sigma with itchy fingers, "Oh well back to mask pulling."
"AHH!!!"
The entire group ignores Mari and Sigma as they started running around in circles.
"So... Do you have any leads to your sister's whereabouts?" Rei asked.
"No, not yet... I'm hopping the Jijimon might know..."
"So... How long until you come back?" Rei asked.
"I don't know... maybe after I'd find my sister..."
Hideto take part of the conversation, "It shouldn't be a problem with Neo and me here."
Rei have something to address to one of the members of the departing group. "Zeromaru-kun..."
Zero patted his chest as if he is saluting in the military. "Don't worry Rei. I will guard Taichi with my life!"
Rei just stood there with a sweat drop rolling back her head... "Um... I was about to say that you should stop eating so much so that you won't get fat..."
Zero just jerked in shock while still in his military salute. It looks as if he was just hit in the chest by an arrow...
Rei scratched her head. "But that would work too!"
The entire group laughs at the humor... except for Zero, who's still in shock; and Neo, whose wasn't finding this funny for any reason.
Taichi notice that they have been talking for a while, "Well we'd better get going. Zero?"
Zero was still in the state of shock, but he shakes it off. "Okay let's go."
Taichi hop onto Zero's back with Gabo and they all cried out, "See you guys!"
Zero takes to the air leaving the group of humans by the entrance.
The group decided to go back into town as Taichi Co. left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ten minutes later... Taichi and co. flew over some rocky terrains with pillars of rocks surrounding the place; most of the pillars are at least 100 feet up in the air.
Gabo have been thinking for a while, there was something that he wanted to know about, "Hey, Taichi."
"Yeah?"
"When you were here for the first time in the Digital world, how come you didn't mention anything about your sister?"
"I don't see any reasons too at that time..." Taichi answered, "but there were times that I though about her."
Zero continue to look on as he flies to the air in an evenly pace. "I'd only saw her a few times back in the real world." All the sudden he stops in midair almost throwing Taichi and Gabo off.
Taichi grab on as Zero stopped. "Wah... Zero... What's wrong?"
Gabo shouts, "Don't just stop like that!"
Zero lands on one of the pillars that have a flat surface and wide enought to carry everyone. "We've got trouble."
As on cue, three other Digimon showed up in the air. Each with black wings of the devil, a leather couth with bouts drilled into their left side, and mask with six eyes, with hairs which colored with the flame of hell.
Taichi recognized these Digimons, "NeoDevimon!!!"
Gabo looked on with shock. "What!!! I thought they were all destroyed!!!"
Taichi was confused. "When did Neo created these?"
Zero looks at the three NeoDevimon, "Guys stay here..."
Taichi got off of Zero with Gabo.
Zero flew up and faces the NeoDevimon. "So... Who are you, where did you come from, and what do you want?"
The three Digimon didn't move... "Fu fu fu fu fu fu fu..."
Zero had just gotten annoyed and starts cracking his knuckles, "Oh well... I'm just going to rip off your head sense you can't talk at all."
"Fu fu fu fu fu fu..." All of the NeoDevimon move their arms to form an X in front of their chest.
Zero looks on confused... "Eh?"
The hands morph into blades.
Now in shock. "WHAT THE!!!"
All the sudden the three NeoDevimon charge toward Zero with lightning speed. Zero was caught by surprised. The three NeoDevimon slash at Zero in a quick maneuvers pattern, Zero manage to dodge all of the blows, the blades were quick enought just to be seen as blur. After a short while of this Zero flew back as far as possible to put some distant between him and those NeoDevimon but was cut short as his back collided to another rocky pillar.
"FAAAAA!!!!!" A NeoDevimon charge head on with both its blades pointing right at Zero.
In the last second Zero flew upward making the blade diving into rocks. Zero stops just a few meters above. Then another NeoDevimon aims one of its blades right at his head. Zero barley dodges it by moving his head to the left and let it jab into the rocks where his head used to be. Zero turns around 180 and uses his left hand to grab the NeoDevimon's head and drive it into the pillar as well.
STRIFE TO YOUR RIGHT!
Zero made his body fly to the right. Just in time to see more blades waving thought the air where he used to be. He forms a fist with his right hand and punches the last NeoDevimon that tried to cut him.
Back onto the pillar where Zero had left his friends on, Taichi was pointing his Digivice towards the battle. 'That was too close...' He watches as the first NeoDevimon broke free from the pillar by slashing in both directions. 'These aren't the same Digimon that we fought that was created by Neo... They are way to fast and too strong! Zero wouldn't have this much trouble...' Taichi quickly scan the Three NeoDevimon, just in time before the second one pulls out his head from the rocks, he looks on the screen on the Digivice. "NO WAY!!!"
The three NeoDevimon surrounds Zero and starts slashing at him.
Gabo looks in shock if Taichi is reaching like this then its bad news. "What? What is it?"
"Those Digimon, each of them is more powerful then a regular Ultimate!"
Zero had been skillfully dodge all of the blades, but one NeoDevimon manage to get behind Zero and hit him with his blade.
Instead of being cut, electricity charges through Zero's body. "AHHH!!!!"
Taichi looks on as it was happening, "Zero!"
The electrical charge passed through and Zero starts falling. He manages to grab onto a ledge of another pillar, and pull himself up on it.
Taichi calls out to him, "Hey Zero! Evolve now!"
"Huh... Right." Zero stretch his arms, then clenches both his fist in front of him, and channels his energy through his body. The build up of power was so strong that the dust, surrounding him was flying, and then part of the ledges starts braking apart from the pillar. This goes on for a bit... but all the sudden he gotten dizzy, you can see swirls in his eyes... "It's not working... I'm not evolving!"
Taichi and Gabo shouts in shock, "WHAT!!!"
Zero got his scents back just in time to see the three NeoDevimon flies at him from above. He flies right at them as well.
Gabo started panicking, "Why isn't he evolving?"
Taichi watches as Zero aim his right fist at one of his opponents, "I thought this might happen..."
The NeoDevimon whom Zero was aiming for moves to the right, making Zero's fist collided to nothing. However Zero twisted his body so that his tail would slam into the NeoDevimon.
"It's the last time Zero evolves to Ultimate..." Taichi explained.
"Yeah so?" Gabo asked.
Another NeoDevimon dove at Zero's head, but Zero grabs it by the elbow, move it facing downward. "V BREATH ARROW!!!" The NeoDevimon hold on to the blast of energy while flying off with it nearly hitting another NeoDevimon and crash into another pillar, causing it to brake in half.
"After the first hour that Zero evolve, I've force him to evolve again with Rei's pendent."
"Yeah so?" Gabo repeated.
Zero was once again dodging the blades that come from two of the NeoDevimon.
"Zero wasn't used to his Ultimate form yet... Him going to Future Mode causes him to exhaust more energy then he can handle!"
Then all the sudden, another NeoDevimon, apparently the one that got shot by Zero, appears in front of Taichi and Gabo.
Gabo is screaming and panicking in shock, "Ahhh!!!"
Taichi was also in shock but he still remains calm. "Gabo! The face! Aim for the face!"
"Pilit Fire!"
As instructed, the blast hit the face of the NeoDevimon creating large amounts of dust... However that did not stop NeoDevimon from coming as he appears from the smoke with his two blade arms ready to strike.
Before the NeoDevimon can reach the two, Zero tackle it from behind taking the NeoDevimon flying overhead of Taichi and Gabo. He then slams the NeoDevimon onto another pillar.
There was a lot of wind force when Zero was flying overhead and Taichi eyed in shock as his body was leaning off of the pillar... He's going to fall off. "Ah!"
Gabo quickly runs towards Taichi as he was falling off. He reaches for Taichi's cape and hoping that he'll grab it in time... But it was too late... He watches as Taichi fell off the platform... "TAICHI!!!"
Zero heard the cried of his tamer's name, and turn to see what's happening. He quickly flies back to catch Taichi before he falls, but the other two NeoDevimon interferes... "GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!" Zero charge at them with punches throwing from the left and the right. The two NeoDevimon dodges all of Zero's attempts and one of them manage to hit Zero with its blade sending another joint of electricity through his body. "Aughh!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taichi hit the side of the pillar from just a few feet down from the platform. Luckily the pillar isn't very steep so instead of falling straight downward, he's being glided down from the side of it. He keeps on rolling around as he was trying to sturdy himself, so he spread his arms and held his feet together as he starts sliding down.
After a while of this, Taichi reach the bottom of the pillar, and landing on the ground facing upward. "Ow..." He sat up... 'At least my head isn't busted...' Taichi checks his body. He was glad that there wasn't any serious injuries such as broken bones or large amount of bleeding, just a lot of minor cuts to his arms and legs because those wasn't being protected by any clothing.
He stands up and dusts himself... He checks his surroundings... being here seems like being at the bottom of a canyon with these entire rock pillars surrounding him. 'I need to get back up there and help Zero...'
Another person's voice was heard. "You… You're the V-Tamer?"
Taichi looked at the sound at the voice and his eyes widen in shock… "H… Hikari…?"
He can only stare at the little girl whom resembles his little sister... but... could it be his little sister? She has the same face as his little sister. She wears a gray t-shirt covered over by a purple leather jacket with brown sleeves. She also wears a matching purple skirt. There appears to be a Digivice similar to Taichi's hanging from her left arm. Those are clothing that she wouldn't wear.
"O... Oniisan..." The little girl said quietly but loud enough for Taichi to hear. "So... you were here?"
"Hikari! It is you!" Taichi ran towards his sister and hugs her brotherly. "I'm glad you're safe! Hikari!"
The two froze there in place as time stopped for the two...
"DON'T TOUCH ME!!!"
Taichi felt a huge shove and fell on his butt. He looked up and sees something that he'd never seen before from his sister... Those eyes... filled with hatred...
"You're... here too... Taichi..." She muttered in anguish with her fists clenches to the side. "Why?"
He stagers up and replies. "I... I came to take you home..."
Hikari stood there and close her eyes. "No... I'm not going..."
"What? Why?" Taichi questions...
"I'm so tired of it... all of it..." Hikari look down to the ground away from her brother's glance.
"But what about our mom... and dad?" Taichi asked.
"I don't care about them, not anymore..." She said sounding true.
Not caring? She never says something like this. Taichi is confused about this.
"Come on, you don't mean that..."
"Of course, I meant it!" Hikari instantly yelled. "They don't know what I've been through ever since you've ran away that time."
Taichi took back from what she said, "Ran away? It's nothing like that."
"Shut up! I know you ran away!" Hikari shouted back. "Don't pretend that I don't know... You ran away with those new friends of yours! And I bet it was to be here in this world, away from home."
"Hold on, that's not..."
"SHUT UP!!!" Hikari clenches her fists even harder and tighten her jaws. The next thing she's going to say, she wants to make sure that he hears it loud and clear. "Because of what you put me through... I HATE YOU!!!"
Taichi couldn't believe his ears... Those words...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm home..." A little boy announce as he came home to his apartment from school... He wore a blue shirt with a yellow star in front of it with khakis shorts.
"Oh... Welcome back..." Said a girl younger in a dress, whom watching TV on the couch. "How's school?"
"It been great..." the boy said as he walks through the door, "Hey, are you feeling better?"
"Yeah... I'm feeling a lot better," she said.
The little boy smiles and dumps his backpack on the floor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay here it comes." The young boy kicks the ball lightly to the girl and she caught it. "Your turn..."
The little girl kick the ball, but the ball went to a different direction from were the boy is...
The boy walks to the ball and picks it up. "We need to work on your aim..."
He turned back to the girl and to his shock; she was lying there... as if she just died...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SLAP!!!
"What where you thinking!?! You knew she was sick!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oniisan... I'm sorry that you've got in trouble because of me... I'll understand if you never play with me again...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This memory of that time... All of it...
Taichi couldn't handle anymore of this... He collapses facing the ground...
Hikari looks at the pitiful display from her brother. "Oniisan... or should I call you 'Niisan'... I think I'll just call you Taichi-san."
All of the sudden something crash landed behind Hikari... She turns around to see that it was one of the NeoDevimon... "You're losing? Anya..."
Another person appears from behind one of the pillars and walk up to the fallen Digimon, "Sorry... Sorry... I didn't actually think that this would be embarrassing..." It's happens to be a LadyDevimon, although there wasn't any head growing out of her shoulder... "but what would you expect from Synthetic Digimon."
"Taichi!"
Hikari and the LadyDevimon look up towards that voice and see blue Digimon flying down with two other NeoDevimon chasing him.
The LadyDevimon smiles, "I see... So that's Zeromaru..."
Zero landed next to Taichi as the other NeoDevimon landed next to the LadyDevimon.
"Taichi are you alright?" He then looks up and see Hikari and the LadyDevimon. "You?"
The LadyDevimon hold up a hand as if she's waving hi, "Oh... Hello... My name is Anya, and I'm her Digimon."
Hikari stare at her Digimon with her eye twitching, "Let's get out of here."
The Two NeoDevimon picks up the fallen one and carries it off.
"Right, right." The LadyDevimon, Anya, said as she picks up Hikari and place her on the shoulder. "Well, later..." She starts flying off the ground and off into the sky.
"Hey!" Zero jump towards the sky and start chasing after her.
"Wait! Zero!"
This stops Zero in his tracks and turn back to Taichi, "Eh? What are you talking about? She's your sister isn't she? So we should go after her."
"No..."
Zero can only watches in surprise as his Taichi sheds tears.
To be continued…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That was a long chapter... I'm hoping to cut down on the Kilobytes, not up.
Okay… I hope Hikari fans won't be upset about what I did to this version's Hikari. Should I write about how Hikari turns out be this way first, as a back story, or should I continue this one and leave readers in the dark, and then tell Hikari's back story?
Update: I think I'll go through one more chapter before telling Hikari's story, so that I can drag her after character out more.
I think that I'm a lot better at writing action scenes then the simple drama/comedy type.
Does anyone actually know which one's Pal and which one's Pul? I don't know and just make guesses. If someone knows, tell me so I can change this.
I notice that people have been also reading my old fanfic "The Legendary Digivices" and wanted me to continue the fanfic... but if I start working on that one again then I wouldn't have time for this fanfic. I would like to finish this one more then the LD fanfic.
Sorry
about not having a translation from before…
Oniisan - A special older brother
Niisan – A regular older brother
Being called Taichi-san or Mr. Taichi is like being discarded as being a brother.
