Chronicles of Time: Of What the Future Brings
Chapter 7: The New Mission
"What do you think the digi-world needs us for this time around?" Koji asked as he watched the scenery outside change.
"Probably to save the world again – like always." JP replied yawning.
"From what?" Koichi asked, "We already defeated every single bad guy out there."
"Maybe we'll fight against Dynasmon again." Tommy guessed.
"Dynasmon?" JP asked, "What the heck for? We've already kicked his butt once."
"Yeah." Takuya said as Zoe helped him change the bandages on his left hand, "But he kicked our butt countless of times. Besides, I think it's not only Dynasmon we'll be facing against."
"What makes you say that, Takuya?" Zoe asked.
"I just have this feeling...we're up against something big." Takuya replied.
The gang was on their way towards the Terminal of the Woods where Seraphimon's Castle was at. Trailmon told them that they were not to head out to Ophanimon's castle – yet. When Takuya asked the dark Trailmon why, it only replied that Seraphimon has something very important to tell them. This they at once guessed was about their new mission.
That was the reason why the gang was still riding the said Trailmon. Dark Trailmon was kind enough to give them the lift all the way towards the Terminal of the Woods – a kind act they were looking for when they first ventured to the Digimon's World, a kind act that they needed so much then.
"Isn't it a little bit weird that we're getting the lift that we desperately needed back then?" Zoe asked the now-silent group.
"What are you talking about, Zoe?" Takuya asked, jerking his head towards her direction.
"Well, we walked all the way from the Flame Terminal – our starting point all the way to the Terminal of the Woods when Ophanimon contacted us to go," Zoe said, "We met several nemesis along the way, but this time – this dark Trailmon is taking us all the way towards the castle of Seraphimon."
"That's right." JP agreed, once again trying to impress Zoe by agreeing with her – which like always didn't have any effect on the girl.
"Yeah." Chimed Tommy, "We walked all the way there for days, and now I think we'll arrive there in a couple of minutes."
"It makes sense you guys." Koji told them.
"What do you mean Koji?" Koichi asked.
"Well, we have our digi-vices then." Koji explained, "Even during the beginning, one of us already possesses a digi-spirit. We could digivolve and fight anyone that gets in our way and tries to stop us from accomplishing our mission. But this time around, we don't have anything to defend ourselves with...that maybe the reason why..."
"Maybe." Takuya replied, "We'll just have to ask Seraphimon—or—whoever Patamon digivolved himself into for the past days we've been back at the real world."
Everyone nodded at this, making a mental note of all the things that they wish to ask the angel digimon when they meet him.
Several more minutes have passed since then. And sure enough, they were already at the terminal of the woods.
"This is where my services ends – until such a time that Seraphimon, Ophanimon or even Cherubimon asks for my assistance." The Dark Trailmon said, "Until then, I bid you farewell."
"Thanks for the lift." Takuya shouted as the Trailmon chugged its way into the mist and disappeared from view.
"Now what?" Koichi asked as he looked around seeing nothing but silhouettes that were caused by the thick mist surrounding the terminal.
"What else do you expect, Koichi?" Koji asked, "We go up of course."
"That's right." Takuya said, "You guys still remember how to get to the castle right?"
Everyone nodded. So on the group walked, walking on a straight path up the tree which is the only way to get to the Seraph's castle. It was hard to reach their destination due to the fog which they were not able to disperse without Zoe's digivice.
After a couple of wrong turns and practically being lost, Takuya, Koji, Zoe, Tommy, JP and Koichi finally arrived in front of Seraphimon's huge silvery gates.
"Now what?" JP asked, sweat dropping down his forehead after walking or climbing for hours, "We can't get inside without Koji's digivice."
Takuya then walked towards the huge gate and said, "Why don't we just knock?"
"Knock?" Everyone asked in unison.
"Yeah. Like this..." Takuya replied as he knocked as loud as he could at the door.
"That's just stupid Takuya." JP said, "What's the purpose of having all those defenses if the only way to get inside is to knock?"
Just when Takuya was about to open his mouth to argue, the door suddenly swung open. You can expect JP's jaw to drop and the others to smirk.
"I told you..." Takuya said, smiling triumphantly.
"Welcome back, everyone." It was a new digimon who greeted them, a digimon that they have never met before. Seeing the confused look on the faces of the children surrounding him, the digimon introduced himself, "Don't tell me you don't recognize who I am."
Takuya and the others shook their heads.
"It's me Patamon!" The digimon said.
"No. You're not Patamon." Koichi said.
"Yeah. You look different than him..." Tommy agreed.
"You're right, I'm no longer Patamon." The digimon said, "I've already digi-volved to Angemon – this is my champion form."
"Angemon?" Zoe asked.
"Yup." Angemon answered as he hovered high above the children, "Salamon, Lopmon and I have managed to digivolve. But we haven't attain our most powerful forms yet."
"That's what Angewomon told me when she contacted me." Takuya said.
Angemon nodded and motioned the kids to come inside. Once they were already at the great hall where Seraphimon once slumbered after being hit by Kerphymon's evil attack, Angemon prepared himself to answer the questions that were soon to barrage him.
And sure enough, it was Takuya who asked the first question, "So, Angemon, what do you want with us this time? Everything looks peaceful enough."
"Takuya, not everything you see is at it seems." Angemon replied, "A dark force is spreading across the land that all of you worked so hard to protect..."
"A dark force?" Koji asked, "Is it Lucemon again?"
"No. It is much more powerful than that of Lucemon. More dangerous." Angemon replied, "And you six cannot save our world – both our worlds alone this time around."
"You called us over here just to tell us that it's hopeless to fight?" JP asked, "What a waste of time."
"JP!" Zoe said, "Don't be rude to Angemon."
"Yeah, JP." Takuya said, "I think there's more to this than we may think."
Angemon nodded, "We have no strength yet to fight against a force as strong as what we are feeling now, that is why we have summoned you back to help us."
"So, what are we supposed to do this time?" Tommy asked getting excited, "We're going to have our digivices and digi-spirits back, right?"
"Yes, of course." Angemon said and he clapped his hands together and the cellular phones of the six children at once transformed back to their own digivices, "But the spirits that will be returned to you are only the spirits that you should possess."
"Meaning?" JP asked.
"Meaning the spirits of earth, water, wood, and metal won't be returned to you." Angemon answered.
"Then that means we can't call out Suzanomon." Zoe said.
"That's right." Koji said, "How are we going to beat something that is much stronger than Lucemon without our most powerful evolution?"
"I did not say you cannot digivolve." Angemon said.
"Okay, this is getting more and more confusing my head hurts." Takuya said.
"Four more children are needed." Angemon said cutting to the most important part, "And these four children have already been destined for the spirits. Your task is to find them and bring them safely here."
"So, that's it? We need to find four others who will possess the other spirits?" Takuya asked.
Angemon nodded.
"Then where will we find them?" Zoe asked, "And who are they?"
Angemon clapped his hands once more and a huge screen appeared out of nowhere. From the screen, a picture of a brown haired boy with green eyes who is probably as old as Koji and Koichi suddenly appeared, wearing a black shirt and jeans. His ear was pierced and wears a look that shows he is a leader of some group.
"That's Kira Tsukiyama." Angemon said, "The soon-to-be bearer of the spirit of Earth. He is from Shibuya."
"Where in Shibuya?" Koichi asked.
"That I cannot answer." Angemon replied.
"You know, that guy looks as if he's much better of with the spirit of darkness." Takuya said, "I mean, come on, look at him, he looks as if he's ready to kill somebody."
"The spirit of darkness is not a spirit to call forth darkness, Takuya." Koichi reminded his friend, "It's the spirit of the darkness that could beat darkness."
"Err – right..." Takuya said.
Angemon clapped his hands once more and the picture of Kira changed into a girl, this time a girl with the same age as JP. The girl has long, jet black hair. She has brown eyes and was wearing a blue skirt and white sleeveless t-shirt.
"And that would be the bearer of the spirit of water, right?" Zoe guessed.
Angemon nodded, "Erika Lyle. She's from Europe."
"You don't plan to tell us the exact location do you?" Koji asked.
"I am sorry." Angemon replied before clapping his hands once more to show the third digidestined that they must find.
Angemon continued to do this and introduce to them the children that would soon join their team. The bearer of the spirit of wood was another boy. He has blond hair and green eyes, and he was wearing a green bandana on his forehead. His name, according to Angemon, was Max Regalle. The bearer of the spirit of metal was a bald headed boy, roughly the same age as Takuya. They soon learned of his name from Angemon which was, Hitakaru Juinichi.
"So, what are we supposed to do?" Koichi asked.
"Find them of course." Angemon replied.
"Find them?!" Everyone exclaimed, surprised at what Angemon is asking them to do.
"How are we suppose to find them? There has to be a billion kids like them living in the whole world." Takuya whined.
"You can find them with the use of your digivice." Angemon explained, "The digivice has a new function to detect humans with the ability to possess the digi-spirit. Unfortunately only four of you would have to travel the whole world in search of those children."
"Only four of us?" Zoe asked, "What will the other two do then?"
"No need to fret." Angemon replied, "The two other digidestined will remain here and journey to find the 'ultimagi'."
"Ulti—what?" JP asked.
"Ultimagi. I have little knowledge concerning that. Angewomon would be the one to explain." Angemon replied.
"Alright then." Koji said, "Who goes where?"
"I'll go to California!" JP at once said, "My parents are planning to go there on Saturday anyways."
"Alright, so JP is going to California to go get Erika." Koichi repeated, his eyes were shinning and it took only a couple of minutes for Koji to notice it.
"Hey, what's up, Koichi?" Koji whispered over to his brother's ear.
"I think it's time to put our plan into action." Koichi whispered back smiling.
"You mean -- ?" Koji asked.
Tommy nodded seeing that Koichi was giving him the nod that says they will leave Takuya and Zoe alone, then he faced Angemon and said, "Angemon, I'll take on Kira in Shibuya."
"And I'll take on Max at Europe." Koichi said as he nudges Koji to choose at once.
"Okay, so who else will go with them back to the human world?" Angemon asked.
"I will!" Koichi said stepping up. "I wanna go around Shibuya too, looking for Hitakaru!"
"Then I guess, I'm stuck with you again." Zoe said.
"Hey, what's that suppose to mean?" Takuya asked.
"I mean what I said." Zoe replied, "I always get stuck with you."
"And what's wrong with that?" Takuya asked, "I always am the one who saves you."
Ahem Angemon cut their argument, "Time is not on our side, guys."
Everyone looked at Angemon's direction as if wishing that the angel digimon would tell them more about their new mission.
"So, when should we leave?" Koji asked.
"As soon as possible, if you want to, you can even leave right now." Angemon replied.
"But we'll be able to get back here right?" Tommy asked, hoping for a 'yes' from Angemon.
Angemon nodded, "Once you have found the four other digidestineds, all you need to do is go back to Shibuya's underground station and you'll find a Trailmon waiting for you and willing to bring you back here."
"Well, in that case, we better go." Koichi said.
"What?" Zoe asked, "You're leaving already?"
"Well, the sooner we leave and look for the others, the sooner we can get back here." JP replied.
"If you are certain, then please follow me." Angemon said as he hovered his way towards another large golden door.
When Angemon opened the said door, what greeted them was something that they have never seen before. It was a large mirror, its sides were richly carved with pictures almost as if it was telling a story. The mirror does not hold any reflections to it, instead it was blank – nothing could be seen in it.
"And what's that suppose to be?" Tommy asked.
"It is the portal to the human world." Angemon replied.
"The WHAT!?" Exclaimed Takuya.
Angemon repeated his answer.
"If that is the portal, the why the heck did Lucemon dug a hole to get to the real world?" Zoe asked.
"That's right," chimed JP, "he could have easily stolen this thing."
"We are lucky that he did not." Angemon said, "If he did managed to learn of this and stole it, your world would have been destroyed in a matter of mille-seconds."
"Why?" Koichi asked.
"This portal could take you anywhere in a small period of time. It could also foretell of the future. But to be able to foretell the future, Ophanimon is needed, at which, she is not present here and it will take a long time before Angemon could digivolve back to her true ultimate form." Angemon explained, "As to how to get to the station after using this, your digivices will allow you to transport yourselves back to the station only once."
"That answers all our current questions." Koji said, "So, let's get going."
"Right." The three other children nodded in agreement.
So one by one Angemon transported them to their designated place with the help of the mirror. At last, after several minutes, it was Koichi's time to jump into the mirror. But just as he was about to do so, Zoe dragged him off a corner.
"What's wrong, Zoe?" Koichi asked, "You didn't have to drag me if you just wanted to talk."
"Answer me, Koichi." Zoe demanded, "This isn't one of your stupid plans of bringing Takuya and me together, is it?"
"Hey," Koichi replied, "I don't have that kind of power to even influence the digimons to help out. Besides, it was everyone's decision to go where they wanna go, so don't blame me."
"Everyone's decision but Takuya and mine." Zoe hissed.
"Don't tell me you don't want to be with him Zoe." Koichi said as he began to walk away from Zoe.
"That's not what I said!" Zoe exclaimed, loud enough for only Koichi to hear.
"So, what's the problem?" Koichi replied.
Before Zoe could react to that, Koichi immediately ran towards the mirror and jumped into it leaving Angemon, Takuya and Zoe.
To be continued...
