A Digimon Frontier Fanfic

By Haru Glory

A/N: Thanks for the reviews again, guys! Well, here's the next chapter. Although, there's no fight scenes here, this chapter may prove to be one of the most important parts of the fic...well, it's up to you guys to decide about that, but that's what I think...Anyways, please enjoy this chapter!

Chronicles of Time: Of What the Future Brings

Chapter 25: Gifts and Good-Byes

Dinner time finally dawned upon the Seraph's Castle, and during dinner, they began to make the best of the time together. Angemon and Angewomon told them all the information that they have gathered from their intelligents concerning the fortresses of their enemies – everyone paid attention to this.

After dinner, everyone went to their respective rooms. The right room on the second floor of the castle with the symbol of a dragon and a phoenix fighting was the boys' room while the room on the left, right next to the boys' room with the symbol of a turtle and tiger were for the girls.

Both the girls and the boys decided not to sleep yet, they weren't tired as of now since they were able to rest just a few hours before dinner was served.

So, what were they doing while they wait for themselves to get tired? Talking...

At the Boys' Room

"Takuya, do you think we'll be fine tomorrow?" Kira asked, "I mean, we're going to be fighting as a pair against possibly the strongest villains there is."

"I don't think you should as me about that." Takuya replied, "I don't know much about some of the enemies that we might be fighting against. I think you should ask Katsuya, he knows everything."

"Not everything, Takuya." Katsuya replied, "I know just what my father told me, nothing more, nothing less."

"Then I guess your father never told you if this is going to be an easy fight." Kira said.

"There's no such thing as an easy fight, Kira." Tommy said, "Even though it might look like that, it isn't."

"That's right." JP said, "But you know, you guys need to learn how to control your digi-beast spirits before we go and fight against those generals."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that." Takuya said, "Kira and the others haven't gotten a chance on using their beast spirits."

"It's not as if you guys will be able to control it at once." Koji said, "But, you must be ready none the less."

"So, how do we control it?" Max asked.

"It's different for everyone and not everyone has a hard time to control it." Koichi said.

"Yeah." Takuya nodded in agreement, "Take Zoe and Koichi for example. Zoe was able to control her beast spirit at once when we were all in trouble back then, when she fought against the evil Lanamon."

"And Koichi managed to control Kaiser Leomon at once since her already learned how to control the evil spirit of darkness before he joined us." Tommy added.

"Koichi was evil?" Hitakaru asked.

"It's a long story." Koichi said.

"Besides," added Katsuya, "The past is the past, there's no reason to look back at it...especially if we can't find anything that we can use against the enemy."

"R-right." Nodded Koichi.

"So, how did you guys managed to control your beast spirits?" Kira asked.

And so, Takuya and the others recounted the events before they could fully control their beast spirits.

After several minutes...

"Wow, talk about hard taming." Max said.

"Isn't there an easier way to manage a digi-beast spirit evolution without going all berserk?" Hitakaru asked.

"Ask Zoe if you want to know about that, although she said it is something only girls can do." Koji replied.

"Anyways, if you guys get into a pinch and have no other way out of it except to spirit evolve in beast form, you have to think of only one thing." Katsuya said, "And that's protecting your friends and the world, or anything else at that...just don't think about evolving so that you can obtain power...most probably that's the only way to safely evolve without going berserk."

"Are you saying that we thought about power before we used the beast spirit?" JP asked.

"No." Katsuya replied, "It's just a tip anyway. If I remembered correctly, before I can manage to evolve into a much higher evolution than the human spirit, I went berserk just as you guys did...and I almost destroyed our house at that. And all the while I was thinking that I should be able to do it so I could be as strong as my dad was."

"I guess we could use that hint." Kira said, "Well, I'm pretty tired already...I'll go to bed now guys, see ya in the morning."

And with that, Kira went over to his bed and slept, no sooner than that did Hitakaru, Max, JP and Tommy followed. Leaving Takuya, Katsuya, Koji and Koichi awake.

"I guess we could all rest peacefully for tonight." Koji said.

"Yeah, no one needs to stay up all night and take watch..." Takuya nodded as he closed his eyes, "Well, no one except Angemon and Angewomon."

"I sure hope those two will be all right once we set off to fight against the generals." Koichi said, "I have a feeling that they'll be targeting them."

"Yeah." Katsuya nodded, "That's why we have to make sure that we destroy them before they go on ahead and destroy us."

"...And that's also the reason why we have to sleep now." Koji said as he went over to his bed, "We're no use if we can't fight. So, Good night, you guys."

"Same here." Takuya said, "I think I'll hit the sack too."

"Alright, see you guys in the morning." Koichi said.

"Good Night Everyone." Katsuya said as he himself went over to his bed and slept.

Meanwhile, while the boys were doing so, the girls however, were still awake. They had the same talk as the boys and even Yumi gave the same helpful tip to Erika who was, as the other new members were, worried about digi-beast spirit evolution.

On their side however, it was Zoe who was first to sleep, while Erika and Yumi were still talking...

"Tell me something, Yumi," Erika said, "What do you think of JP?"

"JP?" Yumi asked surprised, "I thought you'd be asking me what I thought of Max, but this is something quite a surprise."

"I don't need to know more about my cousin than what he wants me to learn." Erika said.

"Cousin?" Yumi asked, "Oh, so you and Max are relatives...that came quite a surprise. Do the others know?"

Erika nodded, "Max said he told Hitakaru, Koichi and Koji...I don't think he has told Takuya and JP yet."

"I think Takuya already knew that there was nothing going on between you two." Yumi said, "But, why did you ask me? Shouldn't you be asking Zoe about that."

"Well, I will be asking her too, but of course I need to know both your sides." Erika replied, "Max said that JP is somewhat of a pervert...well, that's what he told me when we were on our way towards Micro Beta. I don't know what he thinks of him now, though."

"Well, I don't think JP's all that bad." Yumi replied, "He is their friend."

"Well yeah, I guess your right." Erika replied, "He just seems...annoying at times."

"Tell me about it." Yumi agreed, "Katsuya and I were worried that night when Takuya asked Zoe to be his girlfriend."

"Why?" Erika asked.

"Well, JP almost rushed in and hit Takuya on the head." Yumi replied, "But when he saw how happy Zoe was, he changed his mind...he said something about it being for the best, which was quite surprising especially since he considered himself Takuya's rival for Zoe."

"That is quite a surprise." Erika said as she sighed, "I wonder what made him change his mind."

"I don't think that that is the right question," Yumi said, "I think that the right question should be who."

"What's that suppose to mean, Yumi?" Erika asked.

But when Erika faced Yumi, she saw that Yumi was already fast asleep. Dodging the question skillfully.

"Oh well, I guess I can still ask her about it tomorrow before we set out on our new mission." Erika said as she began to drift off into a peaceful slumber...

The next morning finally came, and after breakfast – with everyone's energy renewed, they all began to prepare for the long journey ahead of them. During this preparation stage, Katsuya went to over to Takuya and Zoe.

"Hey." Katsuya greeted.

"Don't tell me you're ready already Katsuya." Zoe said.

"I really don't have anything to prepare." Katsuya replied, "Besides, when it comes to food and stuff, I think Koji's already prepared everything."

"Wow, that was fast." Takuya said, "So, what brings you over here. Don't tell me that you're worried about the enemy that you will face."

"Who? Lucemon?" Katsuya asked, "He won't be much of a burden. To tell you guys the truth, I'm more worried about you two."

"Us?" Zoe asked.

"Dynasmon won't be hard at all. I was able to beat him before, I can do it again, especially now that Zoe's gonna help me out." Takuya said.

"I think you may have forgotten something." Katsuya said, "You managed to finally defeat him using Kaiser Greymon, Takuya. But since only Zoe's going to come along with you and Tommy isn't around when you fight, I think you'll be in quite a pinch."

"You worry too much." Takuya said, "We can handle it. If you're going to be worried about someone, I suggest you worry about the others, they're the ones who're going to face though opponents."

"You're being too confident." Katsuya said.

"Say what!?" Takuya asked, angry.

"That's enough you guys!" Zoe said, trying to stop the unfolding argument, "I'm sure Katsuya doesn't mean anything bad, Takuya. Calm down, OK?"

"Fine." Takuya said.

"Zoe's right." Katsuya said, "Besides, I didn't come over here to fight."

"Oh? And what did you came over here for?" Takuya asked.

"For an exchange." Katsuya replied.

"Exchange?" both Takuya and Zoe asked in unison.

"Exchange what?" Zoe asked.

"My digi-vice with Takuya's." Katsuya replied taking his D-Tector out of his pocket.

"The D-Tectors?" Takuya asked, "You've got to be kidding, I won't be able to use your digi-vice, only you can use it and the same goes for mine."

"You still know nothing about MY digi-vice, Takuya." Katsuya said, "Why don't you try using it. Try digi-volving into Kaiser Greymon right now using my digi-vice."

With that, Katsuya handed Takuya his digi-vice.

"I still say this is pointless," Takuya said as he positioned himself to try and digi-volve using Katsuya's D-Tector.

"Just do it, Takuya." Katsuya shouted.

This caught everyone's attention and they moved closer to see what was going on. It was Zoe who explained everything to them, before Takuya shouted the lines he always say when digi-volving...

HYPER! SPIRIT! EVOLUTION!!!

Saying those words and knowing that Takuya was using Katsuya's digi-vice, it came as a surprise to everyone when they saw that there was a very bright, flaming red light that has erupted from both Takuya and the digi-vice...

"Wha-what's going on?" Koji asked, surprised as everyone was.

"He's...he's..." Tommy began to stutter at the sight.

"Wraaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!" Takuya shouted as the flaming red light continued to erupt from his body and from the device that he was holding.

"Takuya!" Zoe shouted, worried that Takuya might be in pain, "Katsuya, you have to stop this."

"Have faith." Yumi said to the others who were sharing the same feeling of worry, "He's Takuya, right?"

"Huh?" Koichi asked, "Yeah, so? He's still in trouble!"

"He's Takuya, so have faith in him" Katsuya said before Yumi could, "Takuya...Takuya has always had the power to create miracles, right?"

At this everyone was surprised. Koji, Zoe, Tommy, JP and Koichi remembered the times when they were in quite a pinch and thought that they would never survived. And during those times, when hope seems lost, Takuya would do something – daring or other times, quite stupid and turn the impossible to the possible. And upon remembering such circumstances, the five children could only nod in agreement.

When the light became too bright for human eyes to see, everyone shielded their eyes. And as they did...

"Gwaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh......"

"Takuya..." thought Zoe.

KAISER! GREYMON!!!!!

And the light vanished, when everyone looked at Takuya, they were both shocked and astonished.

"He...he did it!" Koichi shouted.

Koji nodded, "He managed to use Katsuya's digi-vice..."

"How...?" Kaiser Greymon asked, "How is it possible that I can use your digi-vice?"

"I told you Takuya, that you can use it." Katsuya replied, "And I also told you guys that I won't answer any of your questions until the time comes...the right time."

Kaiser Greymon nodded and dedigi-volved back into Takuya.

"But I still can't take it." Takuya said, "You guys are going to fight against Lucemon. It's impossible to defeat him without Sussanomon."

"Not impossible, Takuya." Katsuya said, "Just hard. Besides, I still can digi-volve using your digi-vice to Aldamon."

"Katsuya, are you sure about this?" Koji asked, worried for their safety.

"I am." Katsuya replied, "But before I lend it to you, I need something that will help us in the battle against Lucemon."

Takuya handed the digi-vice back to Katsuya. And Katsuya mumbled something, as he did, the same sword that he used against Assultamon appeared from the digi-vice.

"That's..." Zoe was about to say.

Katsuya nodded, "This would be enough of a weapon with Aldamon. It will help Aldamon be as strong as Kaiser Greymon."

"How did you do that?" Tommy asked.

"My uncle made several...adjustments....to this digi-vice, one of which it the power to call forth this sword...the Grana Saber." Katsuya explained, "That's about all I can tell you."

After calling forth the saber, Katsuya gave his D-Tector to Takuya and Takuya lent his to Katsuya. Katsuya mumbled something again and the sword disappeared.

"Well, now we can say that we're ready." Katsuya said as he called for Koji and they both pick up the bags that Angemon lent them (which carried their supplies).

"Well guys, good luck!" Koji said as they began to walk out of the large gates of the castle.

"Same to you Koji!" Koichi shouted back.

"We should get going too, Erika." JP said, "We have a long way ahead of us."

"Sure, see you guys." Erika said as they walked off with their bags.

Soon, everyone said their good-byes and good lucks and began to head off into different directions with the same goals as the other – to defeat their enemy and to come back safely...

To be continued...

A/N: There, 25th chapter's finally up! Hmmm...let's see, first off I'll try to answer some of the questions that you guys have asked me.

The reason why I like to have as much reviews as possible? Hmmm...well, for me it's just the way how I can learn to improve my writting  and to see if there are still people who are reading my fanfics and how much they like it.  It's as simple as that. It also gives me the reason to finish what I have started.

Next, Like  I've said in the past, I made a mistake and got confused as to who Crusadermon and Dynasmon are. It's because the names that were used on the version of the Frontier that I have watched are different from that that was released in the US. If it wasn't for you guys, I would have continued to write Crusadermon as the one who used the Breath of Wyvern attack instead of Dynasmon. I hope this clears something.

Last but not the least, what's Katsuya, Yumi and Max hiding? Well, you guys know I can't tell that. You guys have to finish reading the whole fic and the sequel (which I am now  working on since this fic's draft is already finished) to find out about everything.

Well, that about wraps up todays chapter. Hope you guys liked reading it as much as I liked writting it. Send me a review, okay? Questions, Comments, Suggestions...anything. And I'll try to answer it.

'Till next time, saying "PEACE" and signing  out...this is Haru Glory.

P.S:

Okay, before I forget here's what you guys said was your fave animes: Digimon, Fruits Basket, Inu-Yasha, Gundam Seed, Samurai X, Teen Titans, Rave, Shaman King, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Full Moon wo Sagashite, CCS, and Sailor Moon.

If you guys have anything to add, this is the final time that I am going to ask, so tell me if there's something else missing, Okay?

See Yah!
