Chronicles of Time: Of What the Future Brings
Chapter 30: Assasimon Appears!
"Do you really think we'll be able to defeat Assasimon?" Hitakaru asked, "We can't even digi-volve using the digi-beast spirit yet."
"C'mon, Hitakaru," replied Kira, "It can't be that hard. Besides, we already know what his weakness is. We just have to apply the knowledge we gained against him."
Kira and Hitakaru had been walking in the wilderness for more than two days now, making a couple of stops when needed. They were oblivious to what was happening to the others, and were only focused on their own survival and accomplishing their own part.
"I wonder how far it is 'til we arrive." Hitakaru said.
"We won't fight him at once, Hitakaru." Kira said, "That would not go well in our favor. We have to rest first, that way…"
Hitakaru cut him off, "I know, that way we'll have full energy when fighting against him, right?"
"Err – right." Kira nodded.
They were also oblivious to the fact that they and their enemy weren't the only ones in the wilderness (although Angemon had told them none live there anymore since Assasimon arrived).
"So, do we have a plan?" Hitakaru asked.
"A…plan?" Kira asked back.
"Don't tell me, you haven't actually devised a plan?!" Hitakaru exclaimed, "We can't just walk in his fortress and demand a fight, then wait for him to multiply himself."
"Well, that's basically the plan I have in mind." Kira said, "Well…unless of course, he's the one who attacks us first."
"I don't even think you can call that a plan." Hitakaru said, "For all we know, he may already set some traps up to stop us."
"Well, no one did say that fighting against him would be easy." Kira said, "But still, it would have been much easier if at least Tommy would have come with us…you know, one of the original heroes of this world."
"…And you were the one who said it was okay." Hitakaru sweat dropped.
They continued on walking and talking about such things until they finally decided to rest for a bit before continuing on again. Unlike Takuya and Zoe who had to travel such a long distance just to get to Dynasmon's turf, Kira and Hitakaru had only to search for the fort of Assasimon inside the wilderness.
But it wasn't as easy as it seems, they had to make sure that there's not a single trap that they would fall prey into.
After resting for quite a bit, the two new spirit shinkers began their search once more. And just when they took a turn from a large boulder an attack met them…
"MULTIPLE DAGGERS!!!" Assasimon cried out as hundreds upon hundreds of daggers rushed towards the point where both Kira and Hitakaru were standing; luckily they managed to dodge all of it, which even came a surprise to the two teens.
"Hitakaru!" Kira said as he took out his brown-colored, D-Tector.
"I'm way ahead of you, Kira." Smirked Hitakaru who was already holding his own D-Tector.
DIGI-SPIRIT! EVOLUTION!!!
GRUMBLEMON!!
DIGI-SPIRIT! EVOLUTION!!!
MERCURYMON!!
"That's not such a good welcome, Assasimon." Mercurymon smirked.
"Yes…it wasn't, and I see now that it wasn't even enough to finish you two in one go." Assasimon smirked back.
"So, are you the REAL Assasimon or do we have to deal with another doppelganger?" Grumblemon asked, "Because if you're just a stupid copy, this won't prove to be exciting at all."
"You have such a big mouth for a human." Assasimon said.
"Correction…" Mercurymon said, "We're no longer humans, we're digimons."
And with that, not even waiting for Assasimon to answer whether he was the REAL one or just a mirror image and not really caring if he was so, the two warriors of the ancient ten attacked.
"SEISMIC SLEDGE!!!" Grumblemon attacked.
"NINJA COVERS!" Assasimon defended himself before countering, "MULTIPLE DAGGERS!"
Immediately, Mercurymon rushed to Grumblemon's defense and using the power of his mirror, he absorbed the attack, "OFFSET REFLECTOR!!!"
And using Assasimon's own attack against him, Mercurymon charged Assasimon with his own version of the Multiple Daggers attack.
"Impressive." Assasimon said after defending himself with the Ninja Covers technique, "This fight will prove to be interesting after all…"
"But I doubt it will be as interesting as how Assultamon fell." Mercurymon said, "I feel sorry for your comrade."
"That reminds me one good reason to destroy you." Assasimon said.
"Then give us your best shot!" Grumblemon said.
As they resume their fight, unknown to them still, that someone was watching them atop the tree not so far from the battle ground.
"This certainly is interesting…" said the digimon.
It took only a couple of minutes before Grumblemon and Mercurymon were down to their knees, panting in exhaustion…
"Is that the best that you can do?" Assasimon asked, "And to think that I thought you might actually pose a threat."
"I told you he might not use his multiplication technique." Mercurymon said.
"If only we could beast evolve…" Grumblemon said, "Then maybe we'd actually stand a chance."
"And where has you confidence gone off to?" Assasimon asked, "I guess I'll have to finish you off now."
With that, Assasimon began to charge up his ultimate attack, The Darkness Plunge attack.
"I guess, the time is right." Said the digimon who had watched the fight from the beginning.
Just when Assasimon was about to let his attack fly, a large enough shuriken suddenly landed just a couple of meters away from Assasimon.
"Who's the idiot that dares interrupt my victory?" Assasimon asked, demanding to know as he began to look around just as Grumblemon and Mercurymon did.
"It is not your victory…yet." Came a voice, the voice of the digimon that was watching them.
"How dare you…!" Assasimon growled, "Show yourself!"
At that, a mutant, ninja type digimon appeared just in front of the now dedigi-volved Kira and Hitakaru.
"I cannot allow this sacred land be defiled any longer." Said the digimon.
"And who the hell are you?" Assasimon asked, angry.
"I am the guardian of this sacred place that my ancestors cherished." Said the digimon, "A digimon that fights in honor and stealth…the name's Shurimon!"
"Shurimon?" Kira and Hitakaru asked in unison.
"So, you're one of those rebels that intend to fight against Master Chronosmon." Assasimon said, "Well then, I'll destroy you like I did with those other fools."
"Those 'other fools' that you speak of are my friends." Shurimon said, "I will not allow you to say such things about them!"
"Fine then, let's fight." Assasimon said, readying himself.
"N-no!" Kira said as he and Hitakaru tried to stand up, "This is our fight…we're the one that's going to destroy that monster."
"Kira's right," Hitakaru nodded in agreement, "We can…still fight."
"There's a difference between courage and plain stupidity…" Shurimon told the two humans, "You've already fought valiantly, we have been saved by humans countless of times in the past, now, I believe it is time, that I do the same to you humans."
"But –"Kira was about to protest.
"It will be an honor for me to defend your race." Shurimon said, "Allow me to do this."
"All right." Hitakaru approved, "But if you ever need help, we're not going to think twice in helping."
Shurimon nodded and faced Assasimon, ready to fight him with all his strength as Kira and Hitakaru watched behind him, ready to help him when needed be.
And soon enough, the fight began. Both digimons giving everything they got against the other.
"Impressive…" Assasimon said, "You're even better than those twerps."
"I don't need any complements…especially one that comes out from that foul mouth of yours." Shurimon said, "And…I don't want to make this fight longer than it already should be."
"You're right," Assasimon said, "This fight will end after this attack…with ME as the victor!"
"Say what you wish." Shurimon said as he vanished.
"What!?" Assasimon exclaimed, surprised at his enemy's disappearance.
"Where did he go?" Hitakaru asked, "He vanished!"
"No he didn't." Kira whispered, "He's just too fast."
"What?" Hitakaru asked, and when he looked over towards Assasimon's direction, he saw what Kira meant; Shurimon was already behind his enemy and had already attacked.
"It's finished." Shurimon said.
"What?!" Assasimon asked, "You have to be kidding!"
Shurimon didn't say anything, instead when Assasimon turned around to face him and attack, his digi-code appeared.
"N-NOOO!!!" Assasimon shouted, not believing that he lost.
"Do it now, child!" Shurimon said.
Since it was Hitakaru who was holding his digi-vice that moment, he took it upon himself to purify the digi-code, but before he did, Kira told Shurimon…
"Shurimon, once Hitakaru had captured the digi-code, destroy that monster's digi-egg, okay?"
"What for? That seems a bit extreme." Shurimon asked.
"Just do it." Kira shouted, "We'll explain later!"
Shurimon nodded and Hitakaru began capturing the digi-code.
"With a strong judgment as the strongest alloy," Hitakaru said as he purified the monster's digi-code, "You will be purified with the mighty metal! Digi-code! Capture!"
"Do it now, Shurimon!" Shouted Kira.
Shurimon nodded and attacked, "DOUBLE STAR!"
And with that, Assasimon's digi-code and digi-egg vanished, never to be seen again.
After the battle, Kira and Hitakaru both explained why it had to be done. And Shurimon understood that he did the right thing.
"Finally, my people can return here." Shurimon said, "The devil is finally gone."
"Good for you, Shurimon." Hitakaru said.
"What about you two?" Shurimon asked, "Will you be staying with us for a while?"
"We really wish we could," Kira replied, "But, our journey does not stop here. Our friends are still fighting against the enemy that they chose, and now that we had defeated Assasimon, we have to go to a place called the Forest of Beginnings."
"Forest of Beginnings?" Shurimon asked.
"Yeah." Hitakaru nodded, "Do you know where it is, cuz' our friends failed to tell us where."
"Of course I know where it is." Shurimon replied, "Follow me."
And so, Shurimon along with the two humans walked for a couple of minutes until finally stopping in front of a river.
"Just follow this river south." Shurimon instructed them, "And you will arrive at the forest."
"How long will it take us to get there?" Kira asked.
"More or less…about two days." Shurimon replied, "Are you sure that you two will be all right? I can accompany you to the forest if you wish."
"No, we'll be just fine." Hitakaru said, "Besides, you already helped us a lot."
"He's right." Nodded Kira, "Besides, you have a lot of work to do in this place, right?"
"Then I guess this is good bye." Shurimon said.
"I'm sure we'll meet again some day." Hitakaru said and Kira nodded.
Shurimon bowed at them, "Meeting you was indeed fated…but I chose you to be my friends."
Kira and Hitakaru bowed back.
"And friendship will keep it that way." Kira said.
And with those good byes said, the two humans began to follow the river southward, glad to have met the noble ninja.
To be continued…
A/N: Well that's about it for chapter thirty. I hope you guys liked it. Anyways, before I sign out, there's just this one question that Bluesakuramon had sent me on the review. Well, it's Lanamon. I don't know if you guys know about it or not but the japanese language has no 'L' in it, so instead of an 'L' they have an 'R'. This is why at some anime, for example Groove Adventure RaVe, there is a place there that Haru and the others calle 'Rudoria' but when you read on the subtitles and the official website its Ludoria, I did the same with Lanamon, instead of writting Ranamon, I wrote Lanamon. I hope this somehow clears it. Anyways, I'll update again tomorrow. So, until then, this is Haru Glory, saying "PEACE" and signing out! See yah!
