Chronicles of Time: Of What the Future Brings

Chapter 24: A New Undertaking

The next morning, everyone was still sleepy when they began their journey to the castle for they stayed up late the night before.

"Stupid Katsuya." Mumbled Takuya as he yawned, "If you didn't go and let that slip then I wouldn't be feeling sleepy and all."

"I got annoyed at you guys." Katsuya said, "I don't understand why you didn't want to say it in the first place."

"Katsuya's right." Yumi said, "Now, you two won't have to go through all the trouble of thinking up ways to tell them."

"Maybe." Zoe replied as she lazily walked along with the group, "But I don't get it. Why didn't JP react the way I expect him to?"

"JP?" Takuya asked, "Now that you mentioned it, I was expecting him to digi-volve and beat the heck out of me."

At this Yumi laughed, "You guys don't have to worry about JP acting like that."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Zoe asked as Takuya raised an eyebrow.

"Did you two have something to do with this?" Takuya added.

"You can say that." Katsuya replied, "But it was JP who really decided that he already lost and was happy for you two."

"Really?" Zoe asked.

"If you don't believe us, go ask him yourself." Yumi replied, "But, I guess you'll have to wait after he's done talking with her."

"Her?" Takuya asked as he looked over at JP's direction and saw that, for the first time, JP was walking alone with Erika, "You mean, Erika?"

Katsuya nodded, "You can say that that is another reason why."

"Oh boy," Zoe sighed, "I guess JP will always be JP."

"Yeah." Agreed Takuya.

On the other hand, Max was walking with Koji and Hitakaru...

"He didn't have to push me away from Erika." Max said.

"Don't mind him." Koji said, "JP's just like that, say...you don't have the same feelings for Erika as Takuya has for Zoe, do you?"

"Huh?" Max asked, "What do you mean?"

"You know, L-O-V-E." Hitakaru replied.

"Love?" Max asked, "If you mean love as in the kissy-kissy love...no."

"What!?" Hitakaru asked, "We thought that you two were..."

"No." Max replied at once, "You guys got it all wrong."

"Okay, so mind explaining to us." Koji said.

"Sure," Max replied, "It just so happens that Erika's my cousin. We haven't seen each other for three months before all this, so you guys can say that we're just catching up."

"Cousin? You and Erika?" Hitakaru asked, "Are you sure about that?"

"Of course." Max replied, "She's my cousin on my mother's side. I'm half American, half Japanese."

"Then I guess, JP has a chance." Koji muttered.

Now, on to Koichi's group...

"I can not believe it!" Koichi said, "After we went for all that trouble devising a plan that would actually bring those two together...they were already...well, together."

"Yeah." Tommy nodded, "Who would have thought that they would actually be together on their own, without us pushing them into it."

"What's more, Koji and JP knew all along but didn't bother to tell us." Koichi added.

"I don't think they've known it for a long time." Tommy said, "I think Koji just learned about it a few minutes before us."

"Well, at least we didn't have to explain the whole plan to those two." Koichi said, "Think of the trouble that it'll cause us."

"Yeah." Nodded Tommy in agreement, "Let's just hope they don't bring that up."

As the noon drew nearer and nearer, the gang finally arrives at the castle. They were both thankful and relieved that the castle was still in one piece – unlike Ophanimon's place.

At once, the group entered and were greeted at the foyer by none other than Angewomon herself.

"Angewomon!" the whole group cried out in relief.

"Thank God, you're alright." Zoe said, "We thought that you might have been captured by Lucemon."

"I was merely lucky that I was here yesterday when Lucemon destroyed the whole place." Angewomon replied, "Though, I am surprised that he is back."

"He's not the only one who will be causing terror around here, Angewomon." Katsuya said.

"Hmmm...and, who might you be?" Angewomon asked, surprised to see someone new.

"Oh, sorry." Takuya said, "He's Katsuya and that girl next to him is his twin sister, Yumi. They helped us get the Ultimagi."

"Nice to meet you." Angewomon said.

"Same here." Katsuya said.

"Nice to meet you too, Angewomon." Yumi said.

"What were you saying a while back?" Angewomon asked addressing the question to Katsuya.

"Chronosmon, as you may have heard is the one causing the uproar." Katsuya explained, "But he's not doing it all on his own, he's got twelve generals with him. Twelve very powerful digimons that could destroy everything in a flash."

"That's right," Takuya said, "And we just happened to come across three of them already. The first one was Assultamon, whom we defeated already. The other two are Lucemon and another digimon named, Myotismon."

"Myotismon?" Angewomon asked, "Then things have really gotten out of hand. We will talk about all these later, for now, why don't all of go to the dinning hall and eat. I will call Angemon."

"Thank you, Angewomon." Yumi bowed in thanks, "But I am afraid that what you will learn from us, is not good news at all."

"That is all right, now all of you go and eat." Angewomon replied, "We will follow you shortly."

And the children did just that. They went to the dinning hall and ate their lunch. Several minutes later, after finishing their dessert , Angemon and Angewomon came down to join them.

"Welcome back, children." Angewomon greeted, "I heard about your two new companions. Katsuya and Yumi?"

"Yes?" Katsuya asked.

"What is this news that you speak of...the twelve generals?"Angemon asked.

"Like what we have said to Angewomon," Katsuya began to explain, "Their Chronosmon's most powerful subordinates. There's eleven of them left, though."

"Eleven?" Angemon asked, "Are we to assume that you have defeated one of them?"

"That's right." Tommy said, "They helped Takuya and Koji defeat Assultamon."

"You have the power to digi-volve as well?" Angewomon asked.

"Yes." Yumi replied, "It's all thanks to our parents."

"Parents?" Angemon asked.

"Sorry, but...we can't tell you guys who they are." Yumi replied.

"Very well, what information can you give us about these generals that you speak of?" Angewomon asked.

"First of, they're digimons that have either attempted to take over the digi-world or are still planning to do so. And they cannot be defeated without killing them. At Assultamon's case, destroying her digi-egg." Katsuya explained, "Right now, my sister and I only know seven of them: Assultamon, which we have said has been defeated, Assasimon, Dynasmon, Crusadermon, Lucemon, Myotismon and their latest addition...Kerpymon."

"Kerpymon?!" Angewomon and Angemon asked surprised.

"So, he has turned to the dark side once more." Angemon said down-casted.

"Yes." Yumi said, "That's when both Katsuya and I realized that the twelve generals aren't complete...yet. There are only seven of them at the moment, Chronosmon must be looking still for five others...or he's keeping them a secret."

"Well then, let's just hope it's the first one." Erika said.

"It'll be easier to f oil his plans if there's fewer generals than what were meant to believe." Max agreed.

"Then I guess we have no choice then," Angemon said, "We really wish to send you back the moment that you have brought the Ultimagi with us...but I guess that that is no longer an option."

"Uh, actually, Angemon...there's another thing." Zoe said.

"Another thing? What would it be?" Angewomon asked.

"It's about the Ultimagi." JP said, "Don't get us wrong, we did manage to bring it here, but..."

"But what?" Angemon asked.

"We can't leave it here with you guys." Koichi said, "Don't get us wrong, it's not 'cuz we don't trust you or anything, it's just..."

"...Takuya needs it, if he were to fight along side us." Katsuya finished.

"What? Why?" Angemon asked.

So, on the group explained about the virus that was still inside Takuya – the energy draining virus. Several more minutes later...

"I see..." Angewomon said, "Very well, I guess it will be for the best as well to let you children keep it and protect it."

"Thank you for understanding, Angemon, Angewomon." Takuya thanked.

"No, no..." Angemon said, "We should be the one thanking you children, you have already helped us enough, but I guess as fate would have it...you are to help us again."

"That's right." Angewomon agreed, "But this time, not as one group...but as six groups."

"Six?" Takuya asked, "Does that mean we would divide ourselves into two and go after those generals that we know of at the moment?"

"I am impressed that you figure that out so quickly, Takuya." Angemon said, "That is correct, we would not choose who will go where, it is up to you to decide. Once they are defeated...no, destroyed, we want you all to go back to the forest of beginnings."

"Forest of Beginnings?" Koji asked, "Why there?"

"We are not sure if they will not try and attack this castle." Angemon explained, "It is better if we meet else where. For now, you must decide with whom you will go with and who you will fight against."

"No question about it, Takuya will go with Zoe, that's for sure." Hitakaru voiced out the thought of everyone else, this caused Takuya and Zoe to both blush.

"We have to make sure that our partner will go well with our element." Koichi said.

"Fire and Wind, Water and Lightning, Ice and Metal, Earth and Wood, Darkness and there's Light." Katsuya enumerated, "But we can't make Light and Darkness go together, So Koji you'll be coming with me and Koichi you'll go with Yumi."

"No problem there." Koichi said, "But, what about you guys?"

"It's Okay with us." Max said, "So who gets to kick whose butt?"

"Assassimon...why don't we take care of it?" Kira asked.

"That's right, we can handle him." Hitakaru nodded.

"Alright then, Kira and Hitakaru would take care of Assasimon." Takuya said.

"You guys better be careful with him." Yumi said. "Assasimon can sneak up behind you and make copies of himself. It would be best to fight him when he makes more of himself since his strength is cut in half depending on how many he multiplies himself into."

"Got it." Kira said.

"We'll take care of Myotismon." Tommy said, "I don't think he'll be that hard to fight against."

"Agreed." Max said.

"Are you sure about that, Tommy?" Zoe asked.

"Yup." Tommy replied.

"Alright then, "Tommy, Max...As far as I know, Myotismon is pretty deadly. You better be careful when you travel to his turf, make sure you don't talk to any suspicious looking digimons along the way. Myotismon could get information about you just by asking the digimons to do the researching themselves. I don't know of any easy way to beat him though." Katsuya said.

"Don't worry, we can take him down." Max said.

"Zoe and I will take care of some unfinished business with Dynasmon." Takuya said, "If that's alright with you guys."

"No problem there." Yumi said, "You guys might defeat him in less than an hour."

"That's saying too much, Yumi." Zoe said.

"We'll take care of Crusadermon, then." JP said, "If that's alright with you, Erika."

"It doesn't really matter who we fight against." Erika replied, "We'll just have to make sure we destroy them."

"Err...right." JP said.

"Okay, so that's Takuya and Zoe against Dynasmon, JP and Erika against Crusadermon, Tommy and Max against Myotismon, and Kira and Hitakaru against Assasimon." Katsuya enumerated once more, "Then that leaves Kerpymon and Lucemon left."

"We'll take down Kerpymon, Katsuya...that is if Black gets to come with us." Yumi said.

"Black?" Katsuya asked, "I don't think he's fit to fight against him yet."

"Don't worry about me, Katsuya." Black Agumon said, "I can fight again, I don't want to be left out of this."

"Are you sure about that?" Katsuya asked, "We can't risk you getting hurt again."

"You worry too much." Black replied, "I'm sure about it."

"Alright, Yumi, Koichi and Black, you three go against Kerpymon." Katsuya said, "Don't worry, Koichi, Yumi already has a plan on defeating that traitor."

"Then I'm counting on both Black and Yumi." Koichi said.

"Then that leaves us with Lucemon." Koji said, "Can we defeat him with just the two of us? I mean, I won't be able to digi-volve to Magna Garurumon and call out Sussanomon."

"Beowulfmon is enough to defeat him, Koji." Katsuya said, "You forgot that I can digi-volve into Kaiser Greymon without anyone's help."

"But still, that won't be enough Katsuya." Takuya said, "We needed Sussanomon just to defeat him before."

"Takuya's right." Tommy said.

"You guys just worry about the enemy that you will deal with, leave Lucemon to us." Katsuya said, "You really have nothing to worry about."

"I hope you're right, Katsuya." Koji said, "I hope you're right."

After having their meeting, Angemon and Angewomon let the children do whatever they want for the remaining of the day. Soon, night came and everybody rest up, they need all the energy that they can muster to start their new mission for tomorrow...
