Digimon zero three:
Chapter three: doctors orders
Joe stared into the vast forest on his computer, and smiled.
His dankly collage room was empty at the moment, thanks to the absence of jono, his roommate. He looked into the crowd. Some faces were familiar, like Tai and matt, while others were new, like the black haired guy and the blonde chick. One face in particular caught his attention. It was her.
Mimi.
It had been 1 year since he had last seen her. Her long brunette hair reached to her slender stomach. He loved her. He had loved her since the fight with the dark masters. He loved the way she moved, the way she talked, the way she acted. She was perfect to him. Maybe when he got in the digiworld he'd tell her.
The black haired boy moved to the left a little, so a short red haired boy of 17 could squeeze in. He looked at the screen with a surprised look on his face.
"Joe…." Izzy began in a surprised tone, "how on earth did you find us?"
Joe smiled broadly as he brushed long strands of blue hair out of his eyes.
"Some tricks here and there, a couple of hacker tips from jono…" Joe began. From the look on izzy face, he could tell this had surprised him. Joe was usually anti-hacker.
"Joe, I think we need you in here." Tai said in a commanding voice. Joe smiled even more. Tai hadn't changed at all. He turned to the other destined, who all nodded furiously. He shrugged and tried to seem impassive bout the whole thing, but failed, as another grin, bigger then the others crept onto his face.
I'm going back he thought gleefully as he pulled out his old digivices. He turned, making sure no one walked in. it'd be hard to explain to someone he was a chosen soldier of light. He then got out of his chair and rose to his feet. He watched as the others scattered. He then made a heroic pose and yelled
"DIGIPORT OPEN!"
Joe paused, sure to hear the rushing sound of the portal opening. But it didn't come. Nothing happened. Joe opened his eyes and looked at izzy, equally confused.
"The gate didn't open…" izzy trailed off.
"You may enter beamon."
Beamon nodded and silently entered xaimon's high chamber. He looked around. The towering pillars and high throne made the large Digimon feel smaller then he was. In the imposing throne sat xaimon, at his side were two-hunter Digimon.
When xaimon took over the digital world, he entrusted hard assignments to either his prelates or one of the hunters. The hunters were large and powerful, nearly unstoppable in combat. The two next to xaimon were steelmon, a huge, indestructible steel plated Digimon. The other was Silmon, a quick-footed assaian Digimon. Silmon's dark blue fur came in handy, seeing how he preferred to kill silently.
"I see your digital block has succeed in stopping the last digidestined from entering the digital world." Xaimon said in a voice that would have petrified any other Digimon. Beamon however, was different. He too had followed devimon, and was once xaimon's equal.
Xaimon turned to the two Digimon too his side and nodded. The pair of hunters bowed, and then left the room. Beamon watched them leave, when he heard xaimon speak again.
"Your talents have been used, my friend…" beamon turned to his leader. He was no longer his companion. He was his king. Xaimon smiled a toothy grin. "Now THEIRS will be utilized."
"I don't understand." Joe said angrily. He was this close, THIS CLOSE, to returning to the digiworld. He looked angrily at izzy. Izzy was babbling on about the gate when movement caught Joes gaze. It was a blue Digimon, sitting in a tree. It was pulling three short throwing knives out of his pocket. Joe's eyes widened. He turned to izzy.
"Alright Joe, I've figured out the gates problem. It's a block. You can get in, but it could kill you." Izzy explained in a voice that suggested he was sorry. He was just starting up again when Joe cut him off.
"Iz, listen carefully," he whispered hurriedly. He could see the blue thing raising his arm. "You have to move. Don't ask why just do it on 3..2.." the blue Digimon started to bring his arm down for the throw.
"NOW!" izzy moved to the left just in time to see a 3 long knives land quivering in the spot where izzy's hand had just been. He turned just in time to see tentamon go to kabuterimon, then get slammed by steelmon. Everyone turned and digivolved. The fight was tough. No one seemed to even slow steelmon down and it didn't help that silmon was too fast for a single blow to land.
Joe could only watch. Ikkaumon tried his best to help, but without Joe, he just couldn't be that much of an aid. Joe watched as everyone was getting thrown around like rag dolls. He fought back tears of anger. He raised his digivice.
"I don't care if it kills me, I have to help them!" Joe yelled, standing up furiously. He raised his digivice, and gulped before saying the magic words.
"DIGIPORT OPEN!"
There was a blinding light, and the next thing he knew, Joe felt grass between his fingers. He opened his eyes, and saw steelmon, surprised by the addition of another kid. Then Joe looked over to ikkumon. But it wasn't ikkumon standing there. It was the seal skinned, hammer holding zudomon. Joe looked at his chest, which was giving off blue light.. A small gold tag lay on his chest, and inside it was a small glowing cross with dots around it. The crest of reliability. It was back.
Zudomon turned angrily to steelmon, who was nonplussed by the arrival of another Digimon. The silent warrior reared his scarred head and charged in. The smile on his face grew as he got closer. Zudomon just stood there, staring him down. Then, suddenly, zudomon took his right foot and sidestepped the behemoth, at the same time bringing the hammer down on his foes head. There was a loud thud as the hammer crushed his skull. Steelmon stood still for a second, and then fell over. He burst into dust before he hit the ground. Zudomon turned to slimon, who turned and disappeared into the forest.
Zudomon burst into light and was a smiling goamon again. The others looked at Joe. And smiled. Reliable Joe had come through. Mimi's face stuck out especially.
Tai walked over to his friend and put his hand on Joe's shoulder. He was beaming as he said, "welcome back Joe!"
Slimon was trembling with fear. He stood before the five prelates in xaimon's high chamber. Phoemon looked like she was about to burst with excitement. It wasn't every day a hunter was executed. Wolvmon looked sadly at the doomed Digimon. Rubmon watched, mildly interested. Beamon stared, his eagerness showing in his eyes. Bradocmon looked on in disgust.
"How unhonorble." She spat, and then she moved so xaimon could walk into the chamber. His face was impassive, but his eyes showed a fire that had not been there before. He raised his sword without words. Silmon bowed his head.
A loud scream could be heard all over the island.
Hey guys. This is not the last time we'll see the return of a crest.
To answer one of the questions in a review, a lot of the Digimon are fan created. Xaimon, the prelates, unomon (but not unimon), the two hunters, ect.
The next chapter doesn't have a title yet, but it'll feature andromon and the city he protects as major plot points.
Also, if any of you want to send me fanart of characters, I'd love to see them. My e-mail is
