A Digimon Frontier Fanfic
By Haru Glory
A/N: Thanks for the reviews again, everyone. Sorry for not being able to update yesterday, it was my sister's birthday and we spent the whole day at Manila, we came back here at Lucena and it was already midnight and I was so tired to do anything but sleep, so sorry for that. Well, here's the 50th chapter of Chronicles of Time. Enjoy!
Chronicles of Time: Of What the Future Brings
Chapter 50: Chronosmon's Arena
Two days have passed since the unexpected battle between Takuya and Katsuya and the revelation about who the twins are.
Everyone could not believe still that Katsuya and Yumi are from the future and that they are Takuya and Zoe's future son and daughter. Zoe could not help but be as red as a tomato when she found out and even Takuya and Koji were surprised at some parts.
It seems that in the future, Chronosmon and some other evil digimon have wrecked havoc in the real world by combining the digital and real world into one. Even with the best of their abilities, their future selves did not even stand a chance against the power of darkness that has swept the whole world. It is during their first loses that the future Tommy devised a plan to duplicate and strengthen the spirits so that they can summon up to two Sussanoomons hoping that this could bring about their victory. Unfortunately, it did not. The future Takuya had been attacked by the same virus that was attacking the present Takuya, and with no idea that the Ultimagi could help him, Takuya was force to fight in Flamon's form and in the end he died along with the others leaving only Katsuya, Yumi and Zoe behind. It was only when they have found a way to the past that they also learned that the Ultimagi could have helped Takuya.
"So you're saying that Chronosmon is THAT strong that we didn't stand a chance then?" Koichi had asked, "That we all died?"
"Well…yes." Yumi replied, "But that's why we're here. We want to help change that future. To stop that future from happening….we want not only mom…I mean…Zoe but for everyone to be alive."
"But if we can't defeat them in the future," Max said, "What gives you the idea we can beat him in now?"
"We don't know." Katsuya replied as Zoe patched up his wounds right after she did Takuya's, "We just thought we'd warn you guys, but we have no idea that Chronosmon also thought of the same idea to travel back in time."
"That's not a very encouraging answer." Zoe said.
"Well…we can't back down now." Takuya said, "We've come this far and we can't say for sure if we can win or not. All we have to do is give it our best shot. Besides, if we lost because of that stupid virus, then with the Ultimagi to protect us, we can possibly make a difference."
They continued to talk about ways to defeat Chronosmon and have asked Katsuya if the digimon had any weaknesses that they could use against him, but his answer was 'none'.
It was during the third day that they actually found the portal to the final stage that Chronosmon had set for them. The portal was located at a shop in the mall that Takuya and the others had gone to when they bought the stuff for the party.
"Who would have thought that it's right here?" Kira asked.
"And it took us three days just to find it." Erika sighed.
"Well, let's go!" Takuya cheered.
"YEAH!" The others cheered as well.
And with that, they jumped into the portal.
Unlike the portals that they have taken in the past which only took ten seconds for them to get to their next destination, this portal was a whole lot different. It took them much longer than just a couple of minutes, in fact it seemed hours in the different colored portal before they all landed, this time softy in their feet, everyone was dizzy however from that trip.
"Okay, that's a lot more extreme than a roller coaster." Hitakaru said.
"Yeah." Tommy agreed, "I think I'm going to be sick."
"Uhhh…guys?" Takuya cut in, "Do any of you have any idea as to where we are?"
At that, everyone noticed the place that they landed in. It was desolate, nothing was there – not even a trace of any buildings, fallen or standing alike. There were no trees, no greens, or even any living beings except them.
The whole place was dark, the only thing that illuminates the path was the flames that was scattered about. Some of them were sprouting from the cracked soil while others seemed to burn on something that the gang could not quiet make out.
"If this is any part of our world," Koji said, "I don't think I want to know where we are."
"What happened here?" Zoe asked, "How could Chronosmon do such a thing?"
"I really hope we could defeat him sooner rather than later." Added Koichi.
"Hey, you two seem quiet." JP noticed, "What's up?"
"Do you two recognize this place?" Takuya asked.
Yumi and Katsuya both nodded.
"This is…" Katsuya began.
"…where we came from." Finished Yumi.
This made everyone surprised – no – shocked.
"So…this is…" Takuya gulped, "…the future?"
The twins nodded.
"I imagined the future to be a lot different than this." Zoe said, "You know, with all the flying cars, all the instant stuff…everything computerized…I imagined it to be a beautiful place but this is…"
"…different." Finished Erika, "I wonder why Chronosmon and that other digimon you guys said wanted to destroy the real world so badly for it to end up like this…"
"You don't have to ask that," Kira said, "It's obvious that they'd want to reign supreme over everything."
"Over what?" JP asked, "There's nothing here, everything's destroyed. I don't think I'd want to rule over a place such as this. There has to be another reason."
"JP's right." Katsuya said, "Those digimons did not want to rule over this world…that's what your future selves were sure about…but even before they figured it out, they…lost."
"C'mon." Takuya said, "Let's not waste anymore time and find where Chronosmon is. The sooner we find him, the sooner we can end this thing."
"Let's just hope we don't find any more enemies besides him." Zoe added.
And so the warriors ten and the twins began to venture in that place. Nothing was to see, everything looked exactly alike. There we're even no way to tell if they were walking down the right path or if they're walking in circles, all they could do is hope that they won't fall into any sort of trap that their enemy may have laid out for them.
Chronosmon however, was awaiting their arrival to his ring patiently. He knew that the children have entered his domain and this excited him so.
"Finally…" he said, "I can finish this job."
Hours have passed since their arrival and everyone was becoming hungry and tired from all their walking. Despite their hours of walk, the children did not find Chronosmon still.
"I wonder if he'll show up at all." Max said as they all helped set up camp.
"Don't worry," Katsuya replied, "if we don't find him, I'm sure he'll find us. Either way, this is one fight that we all can't get out off."
"Katsuya's right." Zoe nodded, "Besides, I don't think this is still his little game. I think we really pissed him off."
"And that's why we should be even more careful of what we do from this point onwards." Yumi added, "You guys have no idea how powerful he can be when he's mad."
"Well, so what if he becomes mad about that?" Tommy asked, "We still won't lose, right Takuya?"
"Right." Takuya replied as he finished putting up the tent, "You two have no idea how powerful we can be when we get fueled in a fight."
"Uh…I think they have an idea Takuya." Koji said, "They are from the future and they are your children, they must have seen us fight a couple of times."
"Uh…right." Takuya grinned.
Half and hour have passed and everything was in order. Their tents have been built and the food has been prepared. As everyone sat around the camp fire, they began eating their dinner, while still keeping a close watch on the surrounding area making sure that no one could do a surprise attack on them.
"I guess it's safe to say that we're back in guard duty again." Koichi sighed.
"Well, now that you mentioned it…" Koji remembered, "I remember it was suppose to be your turn, right?"
"Aww…man!" Koichi groaned, "I thought you guys have forgotten about that turn stuff."
"Well, it's not fair if we have taken our turn in standing watch while you haven't." Hitakaru said, "Besides, hopefully this'll be our last day out."
"If we find Chronosmon tomorrow, that is…" Koichi sighed but agreed to do his part none-the-less.
After eating their dinner, everyone went to their respective tents. The girls on the tent on the right while the boys took the one on the left. Koichi stayed near the fire to keep himself warm since the blanket that Koji had given him was not doing such a good job.
Almost an hour have passed and Koichi was getting bored and getting sleepy as well. He was not used to this kind of job.
He then looked up at the sky. The only thing that did not seem to have been defiled by their enemy, with the stars twinkling high above him and the moon shinning brightly on the northern sky.
Even as Koichi, he still loved to look at the sky at night – the stars and the other heavenly bodies that only appear in the night just like how Duskmon does back then.
At this, Koichi could only think of one way to keep himself awake…sing.

And with that, Koichi finished his song.
He looked back at the two tents and was relieved to see that no one was awaken because of how loud he thought he sung that song…
"I have to be careful not to wake them up." Koichi thought to himself, "But…I'm really bored, I wonder what the others did to stay awake."
Koichi then decided to continue on with his songs, thinking that singing would probably stop him from drifting off into sleep while the others trusted him to keep them safe…
Kizuite ita nda Mou nido to tobenai tte koto o

"Kubiwa no nai norainu ga ore no koto waratteru..."

...Ah, tonde miseru
...Ah, oreta tsubasa de
...Ah, tonde miseru
...Ah, oreta tsubasa de
...wth broken wings
Just when Koichi finished his second song. Someone clapped from behind. This surprised the young bearer of darkness and he immediately stood up, hands on his digi-vice and spun around…
"Yumi?" Koichi gawked as he saw her still clapping and was giggling.
"I didn't expect your reaction to be like that." Yumi said.
"What are you doing awake?" Koichi asked, "Don't tell me I woke you up with all my singing."
"No." replied Yumi, "I woke up to get a glass of water."
At this, Koichi relaxed, "Great. I thought I woke you up." And with that he sat back down as Yumi went to their backpacks and searched for the water.
"I've heard you sing once before…back at the party," Yumi said as she began to pour water on the two plastic cups on the ground, "But it still surprises me that you can sing so well like that."
"Thanks…but…uh, haven't you heard me sing before from where you guys came from." Koichi said, "Don't I sing there?"
Yumi shook her head, "Actually, me and Katsuya have never seen you before there."
"Huh?" Koichi scratched his head, "Why? Was I already dead before you guys were born?"
"No." Yumi replied as she handed one of the plastic cups to Koichi and sat down right beside him, "You're still alive. You even visited us once…or twice when we were still small…or so my mom and dad says."
"Once?" Koichi raised an eyebrow. "Why only once?"
"Dad said it was because of your job." Yumi replied after taking a sip, "You're the CEO of a leading company there so you rarely visit us…and during the last fight, Katsuya and I weren't fighting with you guys, we just watched at a long distance."
"I see." Koichi said, "So then I can't ask you if my future self is handsome or not."
At this Yumi giggled.
"What?" Koichi asked with a smile.
"I never thought you'd be someone to care about something like that." Yumi replied.
"Hey, I care about whether I turn up handsome or not, you know!" Koichi said still smiling.
"So, why don't you sing one more song?" Yumi suggested all of a sudden.
"Why?" Koichi asked, although right at the back of his mind he was already searching for a song that would sound nice with his voice.
"Oh come on, Koichi." Yumi pleaded, "Can't you do just one little favor for your niece?"
Koichi laughed, "I don't have any nieces yet. You came from the future, and you might be Takuya and Zoe's daughter but right here, right now, for me…you're still a normal kid like us. And I'm not your uncle yet."
"Normal?" Yumi asked, "I don't think a kid who can turn into a digimon is what I'd call normal."
"Hmm…you're right." Replied Koichi, "Fine then, one last song."
And with that, Koichi began to sing for Yumi's sake…
Ki ga tsuku to kimi no koto wo miteru
Naname ushiro ni tatta mama
Kimi no kokoro no fookasu boku ni
Atte iru ka na?
Chiisana koro kara bokura wa issho datta ne
Hashitte, koronde itsu demo waratta
Ima demo otona ja nai kedo ano koro yori bokura mo
Tooku hashireru yo ne
Ki ga tsukazu ni ireba yokatta koto dakedo ne
Ki ni narun da kimi no koto
Naite bakari ita kimi ga ima wa

Kimi no kokoro no fookasu dare ni
Atte iru no ka sore dake

Ano hi no tobira ga ima de wa hirakeru

Naite bakari ita kimi ga ima wa

Kimi no kokoro no fookasu dare ni
Atte iru no ka sore dake
Shiritain da
And with that, Koichi's third song ended.
"So, what do you think?" Koichi asked.
"I still say you have a very beautiful voice." Yumi replied, "You'd do well in a band…I think."
"That's too much of a compliment." Koichi said, scratching his head, before he sighed.
"What's wrong?" Yumi asked.
"Uh…it's nothing." Koichi replied, "You know, we have a long way to go tomorrow. You better rest up."
"What about you?" Yumi asked, "You're going to fight too."
Koichi smiled, "Don't worry, my shift's almost up anyway."
"If you say so." Yumi said as she stood up and began walking back into the girls' tent.
"Hey, Yumi?" Koichi called out.
Yumi turned around just as she was about to get inside their tent, "Yes?"
"Thanks." Koichi said, "For keeping me company."
"Don't mention it." Yumi replied, "Good night."
"Good night." Koichi called out as well before Yumi got inside the tent.
Seeing that Yumi was already inside, the young bearer of darkness sighed and returned to his watch.
"If only things were a lot different…" Koichi thought, "…you and I could have been a good enough couple…Yumi."
To be continued…
A/N: Okay, song translations once again…
Tobira Door(Sung by Teenage Wolves, Yamato/Matt's band)
Sudden anxiety over not understanding myself,
it's always aiming for us
We were deluded by secondhand information
and useless commonsense.
If everyday is tinged with boredom like this,
do you even want to go along today?
Instead of pretending to be something we don't know,
let's find our reality
The one thing we can't give away,
our pride, hidden in our hearts.
Let's start running, not for anyone else,
but because it's better than stopping
Cutting through the clear air,
turning toward the bright ocean
Oh keep on running keep on running
Find out your reality.
There's no time to hesitate in front of the new door
Just run up, jump out there, and kick the door down.
If it's you, you can definitely do it.
I wrapped up my invisible anxieties in you
but your eyes are lost
Your wavering confidence is different than usual,
our bodies are trembling.
Because I don't want that type of self,
will you hold me in your arms?
It's too early to close your eyes, let's look at our reality
We're not helpless; we'll do the best with our courage.
Let's find it, not for anyone else,
but because it's better than giving up
Pull free from those cowardly feelings
and search for a real answer
Oh keep on running keep on running
Find out your reality
The door to the new world isn't locked or anything
So have confidence, keep going, and kick the door open.
If it's you, you can definitely find it.
Let's start running, not for anyone else,
but because it's better than stopping
Cutting through the clear air,
turning toward the bright ocean
Oh keep on running keep on running
Find out your reality
There's no time to hesitate in front of the new door
Just run up, jump out there, and kick the door open.
If it's you, you can definitely do it.
Because you'll surely find your way.
Oreta Tsubasa de/With Broken Wings(Koichi's theme)
I've noticed that I'll never fly again
I know that I can't fly with broken wings
Someone cried, "a dream will change your shape"
The love that someone abandoned
have already disappeared to somewhere
Woo, with broken wings
Woo, With Broken Wings
Just holding me close won't stop my trembling
The coldness of that time surely wasn't like what it is now
Woo, with broken wings
Woo, With Broken Wings
"A collarless stray dog laughs at me..."
Before I knew it, I've started to be scared everyday
Struggling in darkness, I want light
In the changing scenery, I keep on waiting for something
In the moving world, I'm searching for the true answer
Woo, with broken wings
Woo, With Broken Wings
The bird in the cage has started to cry, "Let me out!"
"A collarless stray dog laughs at me..."
...Ah, I'll show that I'll fly
...Ah, with broken wings
...Ah, I'll show that I'll fly
...Ah, with broken wings
...With Broken Wings
Focus(Takeru/T.K's theme)
Before I know it, I'm watching you
Still standing diagonally behind you
Am I the focus of your heart?
We've been together since we were small
Running and falling, we were always laughing
I'm not grown up yet, but now I can
Run farther than I used to
It would be better if I'd never noticed, but
I can't get you off my mind
You used to cry all the time
Now you're standing in the light
All I want to know is
Who is the focus of your heart?
No matter how much I stretched, I couldn't reach
But now I can open that door
The truth is I have a lot of things I want to tell you, but
It won't come out right
We were always protected
But now the one I want to protect is...
Before I know it, I'm watching you
Still standing diagonally behind you
Am I the focus of your heart? Or...
I can't ask
You used to cry all the time
Now you're standing in the light
All I want to know is
Who is the focus of your heart?
So, what do you guys think? I've chosen those songs on purpose since I thought that if Kouchi Kimura's seiyuu would sing those songs it would turn out pretty well. Besides, I've heard Oreta Tsubasa DeWith Broken Wings and I find Koichi's voice positively wonderful when he sings. You guys should try and listen to his songs if you haven't. Tobira Door and Focus are also two of more than a hundred of the Digimon Songs that I have collected and heard and I found very nice.
Also, about the question asking if I will be writting other season 4 fanfics, don't worry I certainly will be writting more fanfics about Takuya and Zoe. Also, I plan on writting fanfics for other seasons as well, the only dilemma that I have is for the tamers since I really don't like to write a story about Takato. I'm wondering if Henry and Rika are the couple of this season or if it's Ryo and Rika. Well, I guess I'll be writting Tamers Fanfic when I figure that out, maybe I'll watch the Tamer reruns...
Anyways, enough about songs and future fanfics. I really feel sorry for Koichi having found someone already that he likes but…well, Yumi's from the future…but don't worry Koichi and everyone else who likes Koichi to have someone he can call his 'GF'. Anyways, this chapter is long enough, time for me to take a break now. So once again, saying "PEACE!" this is Haru Glory signing out!
P.S
5 days before Christmas! Please take time to review this chapter!
