Chronicles of Time: Of What the Future Brings
Chapter 16: The Retrieval! The Twins Digi-volve!!!
"Alright." Katsuya nodded, "It's agreed then, that we will go towards Assultamon's fortress, free Cherubimon and get the Ultimagi back."
"And we have to do it at once." Yumi added, "Before Assultamon decides to deliver the Ultimagi to Chronosmon."
"Alright." Zoe nodded, "You guys better stay here and watch over Takuya. Katsuya, Yumi, I need you two to show me the way to the fortress."
"Wait a second, Zoe." Koichi said, "We know how much you...err...care for our leader here, but, I don't think it's wise to go against a general...especially someone who managed to capture Cherubimon."
"Koichi's right." Koji nodded, "That's why I'm coming with you."
"ME too!" JP shouted.
"No." Zoe said, "You guys have to keep an eye on Takuya."
"I wouldn't mind dragging Koji though, If worst comes to worst he could always transform into BeoWulfmon and help us out." Katsuya said.
At this Koji joined Zoe and the others and they immediately set out towards Assultamon's fortress...as fast as they could so that JP would not have the chance to follow them...for this Koji was glad.
"Finally, I'll be able to ask her what's going on between the two of them." Koji thought as they walked nimbly towards the fortress, "These two wouldn't mind...hopefully."
At that point, Koji called to Zoe and asked, "Hey, So...what's up?"
"What's up?" Zoe asked, "With what?"
"With you and mister goggle-head?" Koji asked.
"Why would you want to know?" Zoe asked, "It's not really your business is it?"
"Woah...what's with that 'not really your business' talk?" Koji asked her, "You two aren't fighting are you?"
"What gives you that idea?" Zoe asked.
"You really don't want to answer my questions." Koji said, "You might as well have said it rather than going in circles."
"Look...if I answer any of your questions...especially something that concerns him, I know you and the rest of the Koichi team would have made some sort of a plan by now." Zoe said, "All I can say is, quit it. We're on a mission, remember?"
"I know that." Koji replied, "How far are we from the fortress?"
"Not too far." Katsuya replied, "To tell you the truth, we're almost there. Just around that set of trees...over there."
Katsuya pointed their destination. It didn't look like a fortress, it was more of a castle owned by some sort of tyrant. It would have looked a lot like a haunted castle...if only there was a lightning and a thunderclap.
"That?" Zoe asked, "Something bothers me though, how did you know where to go?"
"We've been there before." Yumi replied, "We were captured by one of their fleet...luckily, they didn't take our D-Tectors away so we managed to escape, plus, we saw Cherubimon get captured."
"That's right." Katsuya nodded, "That's why, I have to warn both of you now, it is best if we are careful and we are not seen. Assultamon's guards are more powerful than anything or anyone that you may have fought in the past."
"Are you sure about that?" Zoe asked, "If that is so then why and how did Kira managed to defeat Assasimon?"
Katsuya remained quiet and stop dead on his tracks, this caused everyone to stop as well.
"I really hated to admit this right in front of Kira and the others but...base on our past encounters with Assasimon...he has the ability to make copies of himself." Katsuya said, "He can make it stronger or weaker, depending on what really is his intentions. That's why I believe that it was only a doppelganger of that digimon that Kira fought, he may only be measuring your strength...for future encounters."
"Then...we haven't really beaten him..." Koji said, and at this, Katsuya and Yumi both nodded, "And we just played right into their trap."
"That may be the case." Yumi said.
Several minutes later, they finally arrived at the back of the large castle-like fortress.
"We escape using this secret passage." Katsuya said as he placed his hand over a large piece of brick that was different in color, and seconds later the passage way appeared, "Let's just hope that since our escape...this passage is still a secret."
Using the secret passage way, Katsuya, Yumi, Koji and Zoe made their way pass rooms until they finally arrived at the prison area, in other words, the cells.
"How would we know where Cherubimon is kept?" Zoe asked.
"Oh, that's easy." Yumi replied, "We just have to look for the only cell where there are perhaps a dozen or so guards and bust him out of there."
"Wait a minute!" Koji said, "You said that those guards are strong...you can't expect Zoe and me to fight them all alone, especially since Black War Greymon isn't here."
"What gives you the idea that we need Black to fight?" Katsuya asked.
"Isn't Black your partner or something?" Koji asked.
"He's the body guard that our parents gave us." Yumi replied, "But...he doesn't usually do the fighting."
"Your parents gave you a digimon for a body guard? What for?" Zoe asked, "And on top of that, I don't know of any adult who knows that digimons or even this world exists."
"That's what you think." Katsuya said, "Besides, You two won't be able to handle all of the guards that could possibly guarding Cherubimon. That's why both Yumi and I came along, not just to show you the way but also to help you fight."
"Yep," agreed the brown haired twin, "And besides, your boyfriend might kill uus if something bad happens to you."
"Boy...friend?" Koji asked, looking from Zoe to Yumi, "You can't be talking about Takuya...can you?"
Katsuya and Yumi both grinned.
"Hey wait a minute!" Zoe almost exclaimed, "What makes you think that Takuya is my boyfriend?"
"Since when has Takuya asked you to be his girlfriend?" Koji asked at the same time, which in turn he managed to receive a death glare from Zoe.
"He has told you he loves you right?" Katsuya asked.
"He has?!" Koji asked surprised.
"...And you have expressed the same feelings for him, haven't you?" Yumi added.
"How --?!" Zoe was about to say.
"You had?!" Koji asked surprised yet again and at the same time that Zoe was about to ask her query.
"We know a whole lot about you and your prince charming." Yumi giggled.
"Too bad we can't share with you ALL that we know." Katsuya grinned.
"How on earth did you two know that?" Zoe asked, "No one else knows."
"This is front page news to everyone, that's for sure!" Koji smiled, "Wait 'till Koichi and the others hear about this...I even wonder what JP would think and say, I bet he'll be furious with Takuya!"
"That's for sure." Katsuya nodded.
"Hold it!" Zoe told them, "You three are not going to tell anybody! Not until Takuya and I get to an agreement...besides, we told each other we like each other. It's not as if he had already asked me to be his girlfriend or anything."
"Whatever you say, Zoe." Koji said, "But man, ain't that something to talk about to the others."
"KOJI!" Zoe almost shouted.
"Alright, I promise I won't tell them." Koji swore.
After that...errr...encounter with the truth, Katsuya and his group began their search for the most well guarded cell in the area. It didn't take them too long to find the cell where they thought Cherubimon was kept, when they did find it, the cell was guarded by ten guards.
"Guys, I don't think the odds are in our favor." Koji said.
"What are you talking about?" Katsuya asked, "That's less than what I expected."
"And you are implying...?" Zoe asked.
"That this would be an easy fight, of course!" Katsuya replied.
"...And you were the one that said these guards are dangerous." Koji muttered, "So, how are we suppose to deal with them? You're not planning on using anyone for bait, right? 'Cuz, if you guys are thinking of pitting my Kendo Garurumon against all those guards as bait, sorry, but I'm not in the mood for it."
"Chill out, Koji." Yumi said, "We won't be using baits on this one, they're not as many as we thought they might be, so, it would be a little bit easier to defeat them. Just digivolve and follow our lead."
"Say what!?" Koji and Zoe asked in unison.
But before the twins could reply, they have already taken out their D-Tectors and cried:
Hyper! Digi-Spirit! Evolution!
Kaiser Greymon!!!
Double! Digi-Spirit! Evolution!
Jet Silphmon!!!
"Kaiser Greymon!?" Zoe asked, "How did you --?!"
"Not only that," added Koji, "but Yumi also has the symbol of your digi-spirit, Zoe, the spirit of the wind!"
"This is not the place, nor the time for us to explain." Said Kaiser Greymon, "Right now we have these guards to take care off."
"I really hope you explain everything to us in the future...maybe after this." Zoe said.
"Yeah." Koji nodded in agreement to what his friend said.
After that, Koji and Zoe both digi-volved...
Double! Digi-Spirit! Evolution!
Beowulfmon!!!
Digi-Beast Spirit! Evolution!
Zephyrmon!!!
"Alright, on my signal, Beowulfmon and Zephyrmon you attack those guards on the left," Kaiser Greymon instructed, "while Jet Silphmon and I will attack those on the right."
"Understood." Beowulfmon nodded.
And so did Zephyrmon.
"Just a quick advice to you two," Jet Silphmon said, "You have to take one guard down at a time, but make sure that you beat them up quick, they can multiply themselves just like Assasimon and can call on their comrades at speeds much faster than even you, Beowulfmon could handle."
"Okay." Beowulfmon said, "One at a time, got it."
"Good." Kaiser Greymon said, "On three, okay? One...Two...Three!"
And at Kaiser Greymon's signal, the fight against the guards, which are called Bantaimon – digimons that looks like a cross between Knightmons and Guardromons. Beowulfmon and Zephyrmon did as they were told and attacked the Bantaimons on the left flank, both using the strongest techniques that they had. And for that, it took them five minutes just to defeat one enemy swiftly and move on to the next.
"One down, four to go." Zephyrmon said.
"Let's do this quick, who knows if Takuya's already up." Beowulfmon said, "He might be worried of his princess."
"That's enough, Koji!" Zephyrmon said, "Keep your mind on our goal."
"Serious." Beowulfmon said before facing the opponent and shouting his attack, "Zweihander!!!"
On the side of Kaiser Greymon and Jet Silphmon, they were having a much easier time and a much faster time of beating their opponents. On the account of five minutes, the two higher-leveled digimon, had managed to take down three out of the five opponents that they have. And all the while that they were fighting, they have even managed to catch every single thing that their two comrades on the left flank were talking about...
"I think we really shouldn't have said that in front of Koji." Jet Silphmon told the Kaiser.
"Now that I think about it, maybe you are right..." Kaiser Greymon agreed, "But, think of it this way, at least they won't have that hard a time telling everyone else."
"What about JP?" Jet Silphmon asked.
"Let them think up on what to tell him, it's none of our business after all." Kaiser Greymon said as he easily dodged an attack from one of the Bantaimons.
"You really haven't changed after all, brother." Jet Silphmon sighed as she countered the one that was attacking her and cried, "JET WINTER!!!"
After twenty-three minutes of non-stop fighting, the battle on both side ended with Katsuya and the others as the victor. They, at once, destroyed the door that the Bantaimons were guarding and to their surprise they found...
"Is this...?" Beowulfmon was about to ask.
"Yes." Kaiser Greymon answered at once and picked up the thing that the guards was guarding, "This is...the Ultimagi!"
To be continued...
A/N: Yes, more mysteries on the part of the two new comers. What do you think? This makes me think of making Takuya out of the story for some more chapters...well, that really depends on my mood later when I continue on writting and at what you would say. Thanks for the reviews again, I'm thinking on setting my goals of...let's say, 100 reviews before this week ends...I hope I can achieve it. Well, please tell me what you think of this chapter, everyone! That's that, see you again later. Saying "PEACE" to y'all, this is Haru Glory, signing out, for now. BYE-BYE!
