Digimon zero three
Chapter eight: The earth roar
Rose looked up. The tree she was resting against gave her some shade, but it stopped her from looking at the stars. That was her favorite thing in the world. It relaxed her a great deal, and she needed something to calm her nerves.
2 hours ago…
"WHAT?" Matt yelled at the top of his lungs. Tai looked down sadly at the piece of paper in his hands. Sora looked scared, and Izzy, for once, couldn't give an answer. Mimi began to shake, Joe starred at the note, and Davis felt a bead of sweat slip down his brow. T.k. gulped, Kari put her hands to her mouth, while Yolie just stood there, shocked. Cody looked like he was thinking, and Ken looked at the others, worry showing in his eyes.
The new digidestined however, just looked a little taken aback. All of them were thinking the same thing: who's Genni?
"How could he say that?" Sora asked timidly. Matt's face was turning red with rage. "He's the one who probably got us stuck here, now he's saying we're going to die? That son of a bitch!"
Claire looked from person to person before saying "Who the hell is Genni?"
Cody looked to her and said "He's the closest thing to a mentor for us. He always helps us when he can." Tai looked up and added, "If he says we're gonna die, then we are royally screwed."
Ryan's muscles tightened. Brian let out a low "Damn." Rose's eyes widened. Jon looked from person to person, as if he was waiting for an "Aprils fools!" to pop up. Claire put her hand to her mouth, and began to shake uncontrollably
"To hell with this." Matt said angrily, walking away from the group. Sora looked up and grabbed his arm. "No Matt. Remember what happened last time you left?" she said scolding. Matt closed his eyes, and could almost feel Tai's fist slam into his jaw again. Matt sighed, defeated, and turned to the group. He stared everyone down before saying, "Well, now what?"
Stranmon felt fear rear its ugly head as he bowed low to Xaimon and his prelates. He was the consort between the hunters and their dark leader. It was the consort's job to tell Xaimon when a hunter failed, and Xaimon was known for his tendency to take out frustration on consorts. He was the sixth person this week to get the job.
"Umm…my lo...Lo…lord," stranmon said, stuttering from fear. He could feel the gaze of the prelates on him, and gulped. "Umm...well…jor...Jor...Jormon has been ki..Killed and another des...des…destined Digimon has armor digivolved." He closed his eyes, expecting the sword to come down and slice his head clean off. He waited, then opened his eyes. Maybe he'd see another sunrise after all.
"Look at me, stranmon" Xaimon said. Stranmon raised his head, and felt a strong, pitch black hand grab his throat. The hand jolted to one side violently, and there was a loud CRACK and the former consort exploded into data.
Xaimon turned to his prelates coolly. They all looked at him, waiting for orders. "Send cherrymon to destroy them." He said, and then walked to his chambers.
"Hey rose." Mimi said, walking up to the young blond. Rose, who was deep in thought, didn't even look up at the brunette. "Oh. Hey Mimi." Rose said. Mimi sat down next down to the brit and looked at her. Rose finally turned to Mimi and smiled.
"What?" she asked. Mimi smiled and said "Nothing. Just wanted to relax." Rose looked questionably at her for a second, then smiled and said "Go ahead." Mimi nodded, then put her head against the tree and sighed.
Tai looked at the lake. He skipped rocks against the lake absentmindedly. He thought about how Sora calmed matt down. Yeah, they had gone out for a while a few years ago, but they broke up. Were they back together, or…
"He's stealing her away from you." Tai looked up in surprise. In front of him was a tall talking tree. "What?" Tai asked the Digimon. "Matt. He's stealing Sora from you. Get rid of him. She'll be yours and yours alone." Tai remembered his dream. He looked down at the rock in his hand and remembered the fight he and matt had a while back.
"Tai!" Tai turned. It was the others. They were running to him with matt in the lead. In rose's hand was another digi-egg. "Tai, this fell out of a tree and rose caught it!" Matt yelled. Then he saw the tree. His eyes widened, he skidded to a stop, turned to Gabumon and said, "Gabumon, its cherrymon! Go!" gabumon nodded, then turned into garurumon.
Tai looked between the two and said "Who is this guy?"
"He's cherrymon, tai. He's evil. Get away from him." Matt said. "Don't listen to him Tai." Cherrymon said. Tai looked at both before saying quietly, "What do I do?"
"You listen to your friend, Tai!" Everyone turned. Rose was standing next to floramon, the digi-egg in hand. "You trust him, like you should!" she looked briefly at Brian and Ryan before turning back to Tai. "He's your friend. Trust him!"
"Shut up!" cherrymon yelled, and then shot his arm out at rose. Rose gasped, then the arm hit pure light. The digi-egg glowed with a great light. Cherrymon drew his hand back and exclaimed "The digi-egg of nobility!"
Floramon looked at her partner and said "Do it rose!" rose nodded, then raised the digi-egg and yelled, "Digi-armor, energize!" Floramon began to glow, and then a voice yelled "Floramon digivolved to…Leofloramon!" Where floramon stood a minute ago was now a tall lioness. Her fur was red, and she smiled at the tree in front of her.
"Can't we talk about this?" Cherrymon said, obviously scared. Leofloramon looked at the tree blinked once, then pounced. She landed right in front of him and yelled "Earths roar!" then she roared. A green blast came from her mouth and slammed head long into the digimon in front of her. The tree yelled in pain, then exploded into data. The lioness nodded then dedigivolved back to floramon, smiling contently. She was hugged from behind by Rose.
Tai looked at the others, lowered his head, and said, "I'm sorry matt." "Its okay man. That guy tricked me in to fighting you." Matt said, smiling slightly. Tai nodded, and then said, "Let's go!" trying to hide his own worries.
