Chronicles of Time: Of What the Future Brings
Chapter 38: The Ninth General! The Invitation
Finally, after several days, Angemon, Angewomon, Koji, Katsuya, Koichi, Yumi, Black, JP, Erika, Max, Tommy, Kira and Hitakaru are together again. And after several minutes after they met up, Koji, Katsuya, Yumi and Koichi with some help from Black told them of what their enemy had told them about what happened to Takuya and Zoe as well as what is going on in the real world. Everyone was, of course, shocked at the news. They could not believe it as those who brought them the news could.
"That's not true!" Tommy shouted, "Takuya can't be defeated and he won't let anything bad happen to Zoe too. They can't be dead."
"Then where are they?" Koji asked, "They should be the first ones to get back here, right?"
"That's not a proof that they're dead, Koji." Erika said.
"Kerpymon and Lucemon showed us what happened." Yumi said, "They both fell down the Crescent Abyss, no one could survive there, remember?"
"They're strong, there's no doubt about that, but they're only humans as well, they won't be able to survive such freezing temperature." Angemon said, down hearted.
"What are we going to do about the real world?" Max asked, changing the topic.
"Save it, of course." JP replied.
"How?" Kira asked, "We don't have any way to get there."
"What are you talking about?" Koichi asked, "We'll use Angemon's mirror portal thingy. The one we used to get to the real world to fetch you guys."
"I am afraid that that is not possible." Angemon sadly said.
This made the children raise an eyebrow, confused at what the angel-type digimon said.
"Why not?" Katsuya asked, his composure finally regained after the talk with Koji.
"I am afraid that you and your sister's information are not up to date." Angewomon replied.
This caused everyone to even more confused.
"What do you mean, Angewomon?" Yumi asked.
"The twelve generals are already complete." Angewomon replied, "When you guys left to challenge the generals that are here in the digi-world, another general went to Seraphimon's castle."
"Another general?!" Everyone asked in unison.
"Then that means there are 9 generals now…with Yukiaramon and that general that went to Seraphimon's place." Erika counted, "But why would he go there? Was he after you two?"
"We thought that he was." Angemon replied, "But he wasn't…he didn't even cared if we lived or not. It seems that his primary objective was to destroy the mirror."
"Did the general give you his name?" JP asked.
Angewomon nodded, "He told us that his name was a name that should never be forgotten…he said that he would be the one to destroy the ten warriors…his name was, Apokarimon."
"Apokarimon?" Katsuya asked, "He is a new member of Chronosmon's generals…if that is so, Chronosmon must have managed to complete all of them before we head off to beat the others."
"It doesn't really matter though." Max said, "We've already dealt with 6 of them: Kerpymon, Lucemon, Crusadermon, Myotismon, Assasimon and Assultamon."
"But 6 still remain." Yumi said, "It won't be as easy as before…Chronosmon would have known by now what happened to his other goons…he'll be sure to make a come-back."
"Then let him." Tommy said, anger evident at his voice, "We'll make him pay for everything, for Takuya and Zoe and for what he did to the real world as well."
"Tommy…" Koji sighed, "That news really must have hurt him too much if he's this angry…still, he can't be blamed, he always did look up to Takuya and Zoe as an older brother and sister…and as a hero as well."
"How about the Trailmons?" Koichi asked, remembering the locomotive/vehicle type digimons.
"There has been no word about them…nor did anyone saw them." Angewomon replied, "It's like they just vanished out of thin air."
"I'm quite certain that Chronosmon had something to do with this," Katsuya said gritting his teeth, "He wants to make sure that we don't interfere with his 'play time'."
"We can't just sit here and wait 'til he decides to show himself!" Koichi shouted, "I won't allow that, I won't allow any more devastation!"
"Well…you won't be able to do anything locked up in another world…" Came a voice from behind the group, which surprised everyone.
"What the…!?" Koji said as he was the first one to wheel around and see the speaker, "Who the hell are you?"
"Temper, temper." Said the mysterious hooded figure, "The bearer of the spirit of light should not act that way."
"We don't give a damn about what you say we should act like!" Koichi said.
"Oh really?" the speaker asked, apparently taunting them.
"Who are you?" Katsuya asked, "We have enough to worry about and we're wasting time even caring that someone like you exist and is talking with us."
"Well now, I wonder if you would still say that after I have given my message." The hooded figure said.
"Message?" Kira asked, "From whom?"
"Well, that certainly got your attention." He said.
"Stop your jests, monster!" Tommy shouted, as he took out his digi-vice and digi-volved into Korikakumon, "You've come at a very wrong time, do you know that!"
"Oh, great." JP said in a sarcastic tone, "He really pissed Tommy off now."
"Now, now…" the digimon said, "I have no intention of fighting with you…yet, not until I've successfully delivered my master's message."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Angemon asked, "Say what you have to say and be done with it."
The digimon sighed, "You rush too much. Very well, Master Chronosmon wishes to let you all know that he is holding a tournament."
"A tournament?" Erika asked.
"What the hell is that digimon thinking?" Katsuya asked.
"Limited responses only boy." The digimon said as he attacked him with his Crown Trick attack and missed Katsuya on purpose.
Katsuya and the others gritted their teeth and with a cold stare from the digimon, Korikakumon was forced to dedigi-volve back to Tommy.
"Now that you all have calmed down, let me finish." The digimon said, "This tournament would be held in the human world. Master Chronosmon wants to let all of you know that the stakes on this tournament is high…and he did that to make sure that you would all participate."
"So, his turning his sick joke into a sport." Yumi said, "What does he think of the human world? A place where he can do whatever he wants."
At this the digimon laughed, "That is what your world has turn into…and that's what the prize is for whoever wins the tournament. The freedom of the real world and the peace of the digital world."
"And what if we say 'no'?" Koji asked.
"We don't think that you have the guts to do that." The digimon said, "To abandon everyone that you hold dear."
"What's that suppose to mean?" Hitakaru asked.
At this, the digimon smirked, "I was hoping you might ask that." And he clapped his hands together, and much like what happened during the fight against Kerpymon and Lucemon, a screen-like apparition appeared and with it, a view of the real world, this time it focused on several people…
"MOM!?" Tommy shouted, recognizing one of them.
"No way," Koji and Koichi exclaimed in unison, "Mom and Dad"
"I can't believe you and your pathetic master have sunk so low." Yumi said as she understood that Chronosmon has held her friends' family captive.
"Then I guess you would all enter?" the digimon asked.
"You didn't give us much of an option." JP replied, with the others nodding in agreement.
"So how do you and your master suppose we get to the real world when he asked you and the other goons to take care of the means to get there?" Kira asked.
"Oh, you need a pass of course." The digimon replied.
"This complicates things a bit." Max thought.
"And how and where are we supposed to get that pass?" Erika asked.
The digimon smirked once again, "By beating me of course." He replied as if the answer to that question was obvious from the beginning.
After the digimon had said that, he attacked once again with the same attack, this time, missing only by inches.
"Fine!" Everyone shouted at the same time, even Angemon, Angewomon and Black.

JET SILPHMON!!!
DOUBLE! DIGI-SPIRIT! EVOLUTION!!
BEOWULFMON!!!
DOUBLE! DIGI-SPIRIT! EVOLUTION!!
ALDAMON!!!
DOUBLE! DIGI-SPIRIT! EVOLUTION!!
REICHMON!!!
"O-kay…" JP said as he saw how the Koichi managed to double digi-spirit evolve, "Is it just me or did we really miss something?"
"Who cares?" Tommy asked, "If Koichi could do it so can we, all we need to do is wait for the right time."
"Tommy's right, JP." Erika nodded in agreement, "We have to focus on only one thing for now…"
"…and that's defeating this idiot, right?" Finished Max, grinning.
"So, what are we waiting for?" Hitakaru asked, as Aldamon and the others have begun to fight with the digimon, "Let's get this party started."
Kira nodded, "And this time, we'll be able to fight together…and that's our strength."
With that, the rest of the team began to digi-volve…
DIGI-SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!
METAL KABUTERIMON!!!
DIGI-SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!
CALAMARIMON!!!
DIGI-SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!
KORIKAKUMON!!!
DIGI-SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!
PETALDRAMON!!!
DIGI-SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!
GRUMBLEMON!!!
DIGI-SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!
MERCURYMON!!!
"There's a lot more surprises than I thought." Korikakumon said as he saw how everyone digi-volved and what Calamarimon looks like now.
"Hey, wait a second, that's not fair!" Grumblemon said, "How come you guys managed to evolve into your beast forms?"
"This really isn't the time to talk about that." Petaldramon roared, "We'll tell you everything later."
"Petaldramon's right," Calamarimon said, "After we're finished with our little chore."
"Fine then, let's get this over with fast." Mercurymon said.
"You are all so cocky." The digimon said.
"Not as cocky as you." Reichmon said as he attacked with his Darkness Howler.
The attack hit the digimon and wounded him a little.
"Very well, take this!" the digimon countered, "TRUMP SWORD!!!"
The attack hit everyone and sent them flying not too far from the battle area.
"He's certainly a lot stronger than he looks." Aldamon said as he summoned the Grana Saber, "But when it comes to swords, no one can beat us, right Beowulfmon?"
"You said it." Beowulfmon nodded as he took out his own saber.
"You're not going to take the fun out of us, are you?" Korikakumon asked as he summoned his Avalanche Axes.
"That would seem rather selfish of you." Calamarimon said as she conjured a ball of water on her hand.
"I guess we can all do it together, Beowulfmon, Aldamon." Reichmon said as he also began to call upon his dark energy.
Everyone else was also focusing their energy, ready to unleash their ultimate combination attack.
At this, both Beowulfmon and Aldamon smiled and nodded.
"Then, let's all do this." Jet Silphmon said.
But even before they could unleash their ultimate attack, the digimon suddenly shrieked in pain. This, of course, surprised everyone. All they could hear before their foe vanished was the digimon shouting: "Remember the name Piedmon, that's the name that will defeat all of you at the tournament…!"
"What…?" Aldamon asked as he dedigi-volved back into Katsuya.
"…just…" Tommy, who have dedigi-volved back as well, added.
"…happened?" Finished Koji.
"Look!" Yumi pointed over to the other side of the 'arena', "There's someone over there."
"Yeah." Erika nodded, "Two someones."
When they managed to get a clear view of their…err…saviors they we're surprised to see who they were…
"It…can't be…" Koji gasped…
To be continued…
A/N: Well, what do you guys think? I hope you all liked it. You can guess who it was that they saw. Hmmm...wondering what'll happen next? Then tune in next time and you'll see. Still if anyone knows Reichmon's real attacks, then please tell me. With those said, this is Haru Glory saying "PEACE" and signing out.
