A Digimon Frontier Fanfic

By Haru Glory

A/N: Thanks once again for the reviews. Well, this is another short chapter, but you can bet the next one will be longer...anyways, I have to cut this chapter short since if I try to make it longer the next chapter won't be that nice...fortunately, or unfortunately depending on where you look at it, this chapter is short and will be followed shortly by the next chapter...aghhhh...enough of this, here's the next chapter. Hope you enjoy!

Chronicles of Time: Of What the Future Brings

Chapter 40: Training!?

Morning came and everyone was up as early as they can be, all were anxious at what Takuya plans to do to be able to train everyone and achieve their outmost potential. But everyone was Takuya's answer when they asked him what his plans were in training them…

"Nothing special…just your average, ordinary, everyday training." Takuya replied, grinning broadly.

"So…basically, you have no idea where to begin training, am I right?" Koji guessed.

"Yup." Takuya replied, still grinning broadly which caused everyone's jaw to drop.

Koji sighed, "You decide to do something and you have no idea how to do it. That's so typical of you."

"So…what are we suppose to do now?" Zoe asked.

"If you don't mind, I have a suggestion." Angemon said.

"Go on ahead and tell us Angemon." Koichi said, "Anything's better than blindly doing something which we have no guarantee that would work."

"Hey!" Takuya exclaimed, "How complicated can training be?"

"It's a lot complicated than you think, Takuya." Katsuya said, "You have no idea how hard Yumi and I went through just so we could digi-volve like our parents."

At those words, Takuya and Koji remembered what they have learned about the twins. Although both are oblivious to the fact that the other already knew.

"So, what is it, Angemon?" Zoe asked.

"I have read about something in one of the oldest books on Ophanimon's Castle some years ago." Angemon began, "And if I recall correctly, there is a particular way that the ancient ten used to train themselves."

"There is?" Max asked, "And they did get a whole lot stronger, did they?"

"Yes they did." Replied Angemon, "It is said there that the ancient ten each have a separate place in the digi-world that only by digi-volving and using their own unique techniques for a day, they grew stronger as if they have trained for a thousand years or more."

"Really?!" Everyone asked in unison.

Angemon nodded, "I believe they call this Spirit hunting or something, it is hard to recall."

"But you DO remember where the places the ancient ten used to train to are, right?" Tommy asked, crossing his fingers.

Angemon did not answer for a while as he began to recollect what he have read all those years ago, and after a while he nodded and everyone managed to breathe freely again.

"Fire Cavern, Light Tunnel, Wind Valley, Ice Peek, Lightning Road, Behemoth Ocean, Wood of Woods, Magnitude Creek, Metal Cave, and Darkness Falls if I'm not mistaken." Angemon enumerated.

"Are these places in the digi-world?" Hitakaru asked.

"Of course they are." Angemon replied.

"How long will it take us to get there?" Takuya asked at once.

"Get there? You really are going to train there?" Angemon asked in disbelief, "I was hoping that all of you are just curious or something."

"You've got to be kidding, Angemon." Takuya said, "Of course we'll go and train there, what's to worry about? Even if someone comes to attack us, we can easily crush them, with all our powers combined, nothing can stand in our way."

"Takuya's right." Erika said, "We have to get stronger still."

"I don't think you understand." Angemon said, "You can only go to the place where your spirits match, no other spirit may enter there."

"So, you're saying that we can only go to the training ground that has our element on it?" Kira asked.

Angemon nodded.

"It's not that bad, so what if we don't see each other for a short while?" Yumi asked, "A day of training would be enough to make us stronger."

"That's not the only thing that worries Angemon." Angewomon spoke, "Those places that he spoke of are very dangerous, not just to you but also to the ancient ten themselves. There's something there that does not lurk else where, each place has a guardian."

"A guardian? What's so bad about that?" Koichi asked, "Aren't they just guarding the place and making sure that no intruder dare enters except for the ancient ten?"

"It is not what you think it to be." Angewomon replied, "The guardian there is what the Ancient ten fights to make themselves a whole lot stronger. They fight these guardians' strength and wit that is equivalent to a thousand years, which is why, when they emerge after a day of training they look and are as strong as if they did train for a thousand years."

"Then that means, if we want to train there, we have to train with those guardians you spoke of?" Zoe asked.

Both digimon nodded.

"Then what's the big deal?" Takuya asked, making everyone turn their heads toward him, "All the better to train."

"You're talking about a possible suicide training, Takuya!" JP exclaimed, "Maybe we should just plan our own training sessions or something other than pitting ourselves with a possible two thousand years guardian."

"Do whatever you want guys, I'm going to train on Fire Cavern." Takuya said, "It doesn't matter how strong the guardian may be, it still worth training with, besides if the ancient ten can do it so can we."

"What makes you say that?" Black asked, "I'm sure even the ancient ten had a hard time training with the guardian."

"So?" Takuya asked still grinning, "They still managed to make through it, right? Besides, we did most of the things that this world thought only the original ancient ten could do, right? We defeated Lucemon, and a whole lot of things. So we can also get through this. And you guys can't change my mind…not even you, Zoe, sorry."

"What are you apologizing about?" Zoe asked, "I'm going to try training with a guardian too."

"WHAT!?" JP exclaimed, "Even Zoe?!"

"I guess I still have to follow Takuya's example after all." Koji sighed, "I hope it's as easy as you think it is Takuya."

Takuya grinned, as each and every one of his comrades finally thought that facing against a guardian would indeed be helpful in strengthening themselves.

"I guess we can't change your mind after all." Angewomon sighed, "But if that is what the legendary warrior ten wishes, then we cannot hinder you…all of you."

"Great!" Exclaimed Takuya, "So, mind giving us info about these places you guys told us about?"

Angemon and Angewomon both nodded and they began to tell everyone what they needed to know.

They learned that they were not far from the places in which they could train, so immediately, after packing the things that they would need to bring and eating enough food that would keep them full on their short journey, everyone went their separate ways to train.

Unknown to them, the guardians have been awaiting them…

To be continued…
