Chronicles of Time: Of What the Future Brings
Chapter 52: 'Ancient'
Chronosmon smirked. Not shaken at all. But Takuya did not mind at all, he stood up and glared at Chronosmon.
"What's the matter?" Chronosmon asked, "Don't tell me you're just going to stand there."
Takuya did not reply to this, he just glared at Chronosmon.
"Takuya?" Koji asked, "C'mon let's go and teach this guy a lesson he'll never forget."
"We'll fight too." Tommy said.
"That's right." Max said, "We won't let you punish him all by yourselves."
Takuya looked at them both, surprised to hear them say that even though they saw how powerful Chronosmon was.
"You guys have fought him by yourself already and it did not work, did it?" Kira said, crossing his arms, "Maybe it's time we do it all…together."
"You won't stop us from helping you guys." Koichi said, "We were the ones who said it was okay for you two to fight as Sussanoomon, now we want to fight too."
"Koichi…" Koji said.
"If they're going to fight, we're going to fight too." Erika said, "Right, JP?"
"Right!" JP smirked.
"Hey, don't forget me." Hitakaru joined in.
"I'm…going to fight too, Takuya." Zoe said as she laid Katsuya down on the ground and stood up.
Takuya nodded. He knows how angry Zoe must be as well.
"What about you, Yumi?" Koichi asked.
"No." Yumi replied, "I'll stay with him."
"Alright." Takuya nodded.
"But even if I won't fight, there is something I can help you with…" Yumi said as she took Katsuya's digi-vice and took out her own as well, "Something that Katsuya and I both hoped we will never use."
"What is it?" Koji asked, curious. Even Chronosmon was curious of what it might be that Yumi could help them with.
"Our spirits' powers." Yumi replied, "I don't know what will happen once I give it to all of you, my mother just said that if things would go wrong, we should give it to you guys and something will happen…something that will aid you greatly."
"Then why did you guys hope that you won't have to give it to us?" Takuya asked, "Apart from the fact that something bad will have to happen."
"Because…" Yumi replied, "…when all this is over, the only way left for everything to return back to normal -- for all these not to have happen, for the real world to be back to normal and for our time to return back to normal…is to sacrifice the memories that you have acquired from this journey. You will have your memories erased – the memories of everything that transpired in this adventure – just to be able to bring everything back to normal."
At this, everyone's eyes were wide in shock.
"Our…memories?" Tommy said.
"But that would mean that…" Takuya said, "We would forget all about you and Katsuya…and, everything that happened because of our adventure here would be erased…including…"
At that everyone knew what he was about to say and it was not about their memories as a team, but his and Zoe's memories as a couple.
"Takuya," Zoe said, "It'll be alright."
"Zoe?" Takuya said, "But…"
"Don't worry about it." Zoe cut him off, "You did it once, you can do it again."
And with that, she kissed him. The others could only smile at how confident Zoe was that Takuya could confess his feelings for her again when all this is over – when their memories have all been erased. Chronosmon was surprised to see how intent the children were in defeating him. Even when it would cause them their memory.
After kissing him, Zoe whispered on Takuya's ear, "I'll be waiting."
Takuya could not help but grin as well, and he nodded over to Yumi, "Do it, whatever it is."
Yumi nodded, "Zoe's right…after all, you two are our parents in the future."
"Right." Koji agreed.
With that, Yumi closed her eyes and held the two digi-vices close to her heart. As she did, snow began to fall.
"What the…?!" Kira exclaimed, "Snow?!"
Several seconds later, it began to rain…
"Now rain…" Max gawked.
After that has passed, the winds began to howl and the rustling of the leaves could be heard even though there was no wind blowing there when they arrived and several minutes ago and there are no trees nor leaves or grasses there.
"Okay, now I can say this is weird." Erika said.
"What's going on?" Chronosmon wondered, "Why is all this happening?"
Then, Darkness covered the whole place that they were at and although it was already covered in darkness even before, it has become darker now and thunder began to roar. So loud that everyone has to press their palms hard on their ear to block off the sound. JP had regained his fright of thunder once again, but no one mind him though.
"This is strange." JP said.
"I think it's Yumi." Koichi said.
"Yeah, Takuya!" Koji agreed, "Let's all digi-volve to our human spirit forms!"
"Uh…right." Takuya nodded, "Everyone ready?"
Everyone nodded as well, and Chronosmon had to prepare himself once again for whatever 'tricks' the children have on their sleeves.

"What are you children up to?" Chronosmon asked, "You can't expect to defeat me with such a weak transformation, do you."
Agunimon smirked as he glared at the evil digimon, "Why are you so worried all of a sudden?"
Just then, the earth began to shake and at some parts of the ring, the earth began to split open and from the cracks on the ground, flames that were even bigger and hotter than that which encircled the whole area sprouted.
"This is it, everyone!" Yumi told them.
And with those words, from high above the dark-filled sky a light shined. It started out small, and it began to grow, bigger and bigger with each passing minute. When the light shone upon Agunimon and the others, they all felt stronger, that they could take on any digimon and beat them all while Chronosmon felt that something was not right in his realm. Oh, how right he was!
For as soon as the light was as big as the portal that the 'Time Capsule' attack brought, ten balls of light of different colors shot down to the ground right in front of our heroes, shot down to the ground like a comet.
Everyone had to back down a little and shield their eyes from the dust, light and smoke that the comet brought.
When everything was clearly in focus and in view, everyone was even more surprised as to what the comets were…or who the comets were…
"Flahma?" Agunimon could not believe his eyes.
"Ghusto?" Kazemon gasped as well.
"Liwahg?"
"Yhe?"
"Kidlaht?"
"Lohgu?"
"Gaia?"
"Hyo?"
"Gholia?"
"Ykhami too?" Loweemon added, "What are you guys doing here?"
"The time has come," Liwahg replied, "For the warrior ten to achieve and regain their true power."
"True power?" Lobomon asked.
"It has been a while since we are called into battle." Ghusto said.
"Called into battle?" Yumi asked, "Does that mean…? You are the ones who will bring aid?"
Flahma nodded, and she looked at Chronosmon, "So, this is the Chronosmon that has threatened far too much and destroyed far too many already."
"What?" Chronosmon said, beads of sweat forming in his face, "So what if I am?"
"Sorry to tell you this," Yhe said, "But this is as far as you would go."
"These children did not do much damage to me." Chronosmon said, acting a lot more confident than what he was truly feeling, "What makes you think that you can do any better?"
"You should not judge others by how they appear to be." Kidlaht told him.
And with that, all the guardians shined with great light, each with the color that represents their element. With another great bright light, the guardians, now back to the same form they were when they came – a ball of light, shot out from the ground and towards the digi-vices of the warriors ten.
"Wha—what's going on?" Kumamon asked as his digi-vice along with the others shined brightly in their hands.
"What did mom mean by what he said?" Yumi wondered out loud.
"Now, what could they do if they are inside those digi-vices of yours?" Chronosmon taunted.
Agunimon and the others could not help but grit their teeth, they have no idea what it was that Flahma and the other guardians would do inside their digi-vices.
It was as if the guardians could read their thoughts and feelings, as it was Ghusto who communicated with Yumi on what they have done and what Agunimon's team should do.
"Tell them, " Ghusto said, "to raise their digi-vices in the air."
"What?" Yumi asked, surprise to hear a voice in her head, what's more it was Ghusto's voice.
"Yumi, tell Agunimon and the others to raise their digi-vices in the air." Ghusto repeated, "Do not ask why and if they are the ones who ask just tell them to do it if they want to beat Chronosmon."
"Uh—okay." Yumi replied, then to the others she called, "Everyone, raise your digi-vices up in the air!"
Sure enough, everyone asked her "Why?"
"Just do it if you want to beat him!" Yumi replied.
"Well, we trust her don't we?" Agunimon said and everyone nodded. And together, they all raised their D-Tectors high in the air.
When they did, rays of different colors shot down from the light up above. The moment that they hit the warriors ten, they all digi-volved…
ANCIENT BEAST! DIGI-VOLUTION!!
ANCIENT GREYMON!!!
ANCIENT BEAST! DIGI-VOLUTION!!
ANCIENT GARURUMON!!!
ANCIENT BEAST! DIGI-VOLUTION!!
ANCIENT KAZEMON!!!
ANCIENT BEAST! DIGI-VOLUTION!!
ANCIENT MAGUTHERIUMON!!!
ANCIENT BEAST! DIGI-VOLUTION!!
ANCIENT BEETLEMON!!!
ANCIENT BEAST! DIGI-VOLUTION!!
ANCIENT SPHINXMON!!!
ANCIENT BEAST! DIGI-VOLUTION!!
ANCIENT VOLCANOMON!!!
ANCIENT BEAST! DIGI-VOLUTION!!
ANCIENT TROJANMON!!!
ANCIENT BEAST! DIGI-VOLUTION!!
ANCIENT WISEMON!!!
ANCIENT BEAST! DIGI-VOLUTION!!
ANCIENT MERMAIMON!!!
And with that, the ancient ten returned! Standing tall and facing Chronosmon.
"What!?" Chronosmon exclaimed, shock at what had just happened, "How did they do that?!"
"So this is…" Yumi gasped, "What my mother meant…the ancient ten have finally been revived!!"
"Not yet revived, Yumi." Ancient Wisemon said.
"What?" Yumi asked, "But you're standing right there, the ancient ten are back…"
"We may be standing right now, but we are as useless as we cannot attack still." Ancient Greymon said.
"Is that so?" Chronosmon said, "This certainly is unexpected."
"Then what's the point of evolving?" Yumi wondered.
"We need your help, Yumi." Ancient Kazemon, "You still have to do something for us to be able to win."
"What?" Yumi asked, "I will do anything that I can to help."
"The swords of fire and wind." Ancient Garurumon said, "Use them and destroy the chains that binds us."
"Chains?" Yumi asked not sure of what they are talking about all of a sudden. "What swords are you guys talking about?"
As if on cue, from the same bright light that started everything, a long chain became visible stretching from that source towards the ancient ten. And Yumi could see that it was actually binding the different parts of the ancient ten's body.
"The swords of fire and wind are the only ones that can break the chain." Ancient Sphinxmon said, "And you are the only one left to do it."
"And I won't let her do so!" Cried Chronosmon, and with that he attacked, "TIME CAPSULE!!!"
"You won't do that again!!" Ancient Magutheriumon said as he shielded Yumi from the barrage of attacks.
"FOOL!" Exclaimed Chronosmon, "Now YOU will be the one destroyed."
"Destroyed?" Ancient Magutheriumon asked when the dust cleared, "It didn't even scratch me."
"You seem to be mistaking us for some other digimons." Ancient Mermaimon said, "We are the Ancient Ten."
"That is right," said Ancient Trojanmon, "We are not called 'Ancient Ten' for nothing."
"Swords of fire and wind?" Yumi began to solve the riddle – if it was one. It took her several seconds only to understand what it was that they were talking about, "Of course! The Grana Saber and the Winged Sword!"
As if the swords were only waiting for the Yumi to understand, the moment she did, the swords of wind and fire appeared right in front of Yumi.
At once, Yumi grabbed both the swords, the Grana Saber she held on the right hand while the Winged Sword she held on her left.
"With these swords, " Yumi cried, "The Ancient Ten will rise again in all their splendor and glory and evil that has plagued our time will vanish forever!"
And with that, Yumi took one great swing and using the two swords, cut the chains of data that was binding the Ancient Ten.
The moment that she did, Chronosmon's confidence faltered.
"Finally," Ancient Volcanomon said, "We can finally shake things up."
"How could all these be possible?" Chronosmon panicked, "The future has been destined to be ruled by darkness, how can darkness be destroyed just like this?"
"Haven't you heard?" Ancient Kazemon said, "The past cannot be changed, but we're not living in the past…that's what brings us to create a different future than what Yumi and Katsuya had lived in."
"Not only that," Ancient Greymon said, "But in places with great and terrible darkness, light shines even brighter!"
And with that, the ancient ten attacked…
"GAIA TORNADO!!"
"ABSOLUTE ZERO!!"
"RAINBOW SYMPHONY!!"
"CALAMITY THUNDER!!"
"FREEZING BLIZZARD!!"
"NECRO ECLIPSE!!"
"ATOMIC BOMBER!!"
"EPEUS GIMMICK!!"
"LAPLACE'S DEMON!!"
"CRYSTAL PILLOW!!"
As Yumi watched the Ancient Ten fight, she could not help but be awed by their splendor and how they attacked.
"So," Yumi gasped as the attacks flew one after another hitting Chronosmon full force, "This is how it must have been when the Ancient Ten vanquished Lucemon…even the power of time that Chronosmon possesses could not stop them…"
The moment that the attacks hit Chronsomon, the Ancient Ten dedigi-volved back to a very tired and panting set of kids – back to Takuya, Koji, Zoe, Tommy, Koichi, JP, Erika, Max, Hitakaru and Kira.
"Did we get him?" Takuya panted.
Yumi was surprised that they turned back so fast, "What happened you guys? Why are you back to…normal?"
"You have no idea how tiring it was to control such a powerful digimon…much more attack." Koji replied.
They all looked up, waiting for the clouds of dust, smoke and fog vanish from all their attacks. When it did, everyone managed to sigh a sigh of relief to see that Chronosmon's data had finally appeared.
"Finally." Zoe said, "Yumi, would you do the honors?"
Yumi nodded, and with her digi-vice still in her hand, she quickly moved forward and saying, "May the winds of change purify your evil heart! Digi-code! Capture!" she captured Chronosmon's data ending the battle that has penetrated not only the digital field but also space and time.
Hours have passed since then, and everyone knew full well that it was time…
"This is it guys." Takuya said, "The moment that we step into that portal, we won't remember everything."
"Don't worry about it too much, Takuya." Tommy said.
Koichi then turned towards Yumi and asked, "Are you sure you don't wanna live in our time, it'll be much better than living here…"
"Don't worry about me." Yumi replied, "With you guys defeating Chronosmon, everything should return to normal and you guys will be alive in here…in my time and so will Katsuya."
"You're sure about that, right?" Zoe asked, worried.
Yumi smiled, "Of course I am."
"If you say so then," Takuya said and with that, he hugged Yumi, "I really wish we won't have to forget anything…especially you and Katsuya."
"Then if that would happen," Yumi told her dad, "then living for the future would not be as exciting as it should be with all of you knowing what will transpire."
"Maybe you're right." Zoe said as she gave Yumi a hug too.
"Well, who wants to go first?" Kira asked, and seeing that no one wants to be first, he sighed and before entering the portal he told everyone, "I sure won't forget all the fun you guys, until we meet again…see yah!"
"Well, there goes Kira." Hitakaru said, "I sure will miss that guy and you all too."
And with that Hitakaru walked towards the portal, but like Kira, he left after saying "It was fun like that jerk said. I'm sure we'll meet again. We're digi-destineds after all, right? Well Takuya, you make sure to ask Zoe to be your girlfriend again, alright? Home, here I come!"
"He sure does know how to make an entrance and an exit," Koji said.
Everyone laughed at that. It was Max's turn next.
"Well, unlike you guys I won't have to worry about forgetting Erika." Max said, "She's my cousin after all. But it's such a pain that I won't remember any of you."
"Same here, Max." Takuya said, "Thanks for helping us out.
Max smirked, "Hey, what are friends for? They're for fighting bad guys who wants to destroy the world right?"
"Although I have to say you acted like a big idiot." JP added to Takuya's statement.
"I have to say the same to you too, pal." Max retorted, "But I have to say, you have good taste falling for someone like my cousin."
And before anyone could react to that, Max has gone over the portal.
It took a couple of seconds before JP and Erika had the chance to blush madly.
Everyone could not help but laugh at that.
Next was, of course, Erika.
Before she could walk towards the portal JP asked Yumi something that was bothering him.
"Hey Yumi?" JP asked in a low whisper, "If let's say I wrote something and gave it to Erika, would there still be something written in it when she opens the letter and reads it?"
Yumi thought for a second, "I think so. If you're going to give her something like that, I suggest you just do so and hope for the best."
"Right." JP said, and with that he made up his mind and gave Erika a neatly folded letter, while he said, "Erika, I know you won't be able to remember anything like the rest of us, but I want you to read this when you have the chance…I mean, when you find it."
"And how will you remember that you gave me a letter?" Erika asked as the others listened and watched at what was happening.
JP and Erika did not mind it however.
"I have ways, Erika." JP replied with a smile.
Erika nodded and she walked towards the portal, before jumping she said her good-byes with, "You guys are the best people I have met and I have treated as friends. Yumi, you take care now, okay? Good Bye, everyone."
"There goes JP's one true love." Takuya said, "Ughh…when I jump into that portal, JP would be back to chasing after you Zoe…"
"Hey," JP said, "I know when I've been beaten, Takuya. Besides, didn't you hear what I just told her?"
"To read your letter?" Takuya asked.
"No. I told her I have ways of remembering her." JP replied, "And you'll be surprise at that ways."
And with that, JP jumped into the portal.
"Uh…I wonder what he meant by that." Koichi said, "I hope he didn't do anything stupid."
Everyone nodded at this.
"I'm going to go next guys." Tommy said, "See you on the other side! It was nice meeting Takuya and Zoe's future children. Sayonara, Yumi!"
And with that, Tommy jumped into the portal.
"That was quick." Yumi said.
"Don't mind him, Yumi." Koji said, "Tommy's just homesick."
"Right." Yumi understood.
"I hope you guys don't mind but I want to go next." Zoe said.
Takuya and the others nodded.
"I don't have anything left to tell you, Yumi." Zoe said, "I guess I'll just have to wait for you to arrive…see you."
And with that Zoe jumped into the portal.
"He sure has a whole lot of faith in you, Takuya." Koichi said with a smile, "You better not forget to do what you must when we return."
"I won't." Takuya said.
Koji was the next one to jump into the portal right after Zoe. He gave Yumi a 'peace' sign before jumping into the portal himself.
"Koji sure didn't change much." Yumi finally said, "He was like that even as an adult."
"You know, I feel weird when you use the 'was' when in fact it should be 'will' or something." Takuya said. "I'll be next, okay?"
"Sure." Koichi said, "Go on ahead."
"Before you go, I want to give you something…dad." Yumi said, as she took a compact disk out of her pocket, "It's no use telling you what's inside that disk since you'll just forget about it. But please use that disk the moment you see it."
Takuya nodded, "What about the Ultimagi?"
"You forgot." Yumi said, "Katsuya and I told you that we have protected that relic for a long time. It was fate that brought you and the Ultimagi together…besides, you will surely need it."
Takuya smiled at this, "Okay then, I feel the same way that Zoe does, need I say more?"
And with that Takuya jumped into the portal hoping that this time, it won't be a bumpy ride.
"I guess I'm the only one left now," Koichi said, "You're sure that you'll be fine here?"
"You worry too much, Koichi." Yumi said, "Don't worry, okay?"
Koichi sighed, "You know, if only you're not…uh…"
"…from the future?" Finished Yumi.
Koichi nodded, "I could have easily asked you to be my…err…girlfriend."
"You aren't that hard to read Koichi." Yumi said.
"Huh?" Koichi asked, "You mean, you knew?"
Yumi nodded, "And like you, I feel the same way."
"You do?" Koichi asked, not daring to believe what he has heard.
"But..," Yumi said, "Things are as they are and we can't change it just to please ourselves."
"You're right." Koichi said, "But it still feels good to hear that from you, even if I won't remember any of this happening."
"But I will." Yumi said and with that she gave Koichi a peck on the cheek, before pushing him to the portal and saying, "I don't really like good-byes."
And with that, the portal sucked Koichi back into their present time…the time when Takuya was at the hospital.
A/N: There. What do you guys think? Anyways, read on to the next chapter, it's the final one..but before you do, please review this chapter. Thanks!
