Chapter 19

He watches two Digimon race up to Takato. The scene confused him for he never expected to see something like it at a fortress. "Hey Calamon! Hey Lucemon! You really know how to made a guy feel wanted!" Takato says to the two children like Digimon. On hears the name Lucemon, looks more closely at the two Digimon. One was a small white one with purple markings. The other was child size and looks to be an angel type Digimon.

"The angel's Lucemon?" He asks Kouichi. Kouichi looks over at where Takato and the two Digimon were and nods, adding, "He got reborn. He's not what he used to be; he's been given a second chance. Calamon has become his best friend. Just watch out, they like to play by their own rules." Kouichi says with a smile on his face. Watching the scene for a few more minutes, he turns to find two other angel types waiting. Kouichi leads him to the two.

"Hi Orphanimon, Seraphimon. This is Guyver, Guyver meet two of the three rulers of this world." Kouichi introduces him and the two mega level. "It's good to meet an ally. I hope your stay will be comfortable." Orphanimon says, for Seraphimon seems to be watching Takato and the two Digimon. "My thanks for trusting my word. I hope we can work together to end this war on your world." He says to Orphanimon.

"Hey dad! Can Calamon and Takato fly to the keep? Takato says he'll make Guilmon Bread!" Lucemon yells to Seraphimon. He was surprised at that for Kouichi says that Lucemon was reborn. Kouichi whispers to him, "Seraphimon been raising Lucemon like a son." He nods. "As long as it doesn't turn into a game." Seraphimon says to Lucemon. "Ok! Come on!" Lucemon says as he rises into the air. He watches as Calamon's ears grow and Calamon joins Lucemon in the air. Takato opens his wings to their full length. Takato leaps into the air and they then fly toward the keep. He was impressed.

"You must be hungry, it's close to supper. I believe that Calamon and Lucemon will be have Guilmon Bread for supper, I don't see why you don't have supper with Orphanimon, Cherubimon, and myself." Seraphimon says. "Thank you, and I believe we have much to talk about." He says. "I'll go and help Takato with Calamon and Lucemon. I hope I don't start a food fight." Kouichi says as he heads up the stairs.

He follows Orphanimon and Seraphimon to the keep. 'This place is not what I expected. I wonder if I'll ever find someone to spend the rest of my life with. And will I be as good a parent as my own? This place is beyond what I expected. I wonder just what else awaits me here.' He thinks as he walks behind the two mega level angels.

(V)(V)(V)

He watches as Calamon and Lucemon finishes off the last of the Guilmon Bread. He had two of them himself and found them to be good. Takato was eating a meat apple that he cooked. "They really like the stuff. Wouldn't ever have believed that Digimon could love bread so much. I notice that some of the others stole a few loaves themselves." He says to Takato. Takato just grins at that. "I have no clue as well. It must be something I learned from my parents. It's a good thing that we always make more then enough. I also don't mind. I'm thinking of making some cream puff tomorrow, hopefully before I leave on a mission." Takato says to him. He thinks about it and then asks, "Do you think that Guyver's trust worthy?" Takato thinks and answers, "Yea, I believe him. He's cousin meet up with Davis. I think that he wouldn't be here if I didn't think that I couldn't trust him. He's the honorable type. I wonder if Ranamon will start on him and leave me alone." He looks at Takato and knew that what Takato said makes sense. Guyver does seem the type that Ranamon will enjoy flirting with. "You think you should warn him?" He asks Takato. "Don't know." Takato says simply.

Calamon and Lucemon yawn at the same time. Takato and him walk to where they were sitting. Calamon was on the table and Lucemon was on a chair. "Ready for bed?" Takato asks. Both Digimon nods and Takato takes Lucemon by the hand and he picks up Calamon. He follows Takato to where Lucemon's room is. Calamon had been sleeping in the same room.

As they leave the room, Lucemon calls to Takato, "I want to ask you something, Kouichi could I talk to Takato alone?" He nods and walks out of the room, closing the door behind him. He head to the hot pools.

(V)(V)(V)

He noticed that Calamon was already asleep. "What did you want to talk about?" He asks Lucemon. "Are other's opinions important?" Lucemon asks. He just blinks and doesn't answer for a few minutes. "It depends, why do you want to know?" He asks. "I asked Kouichi why we couldn't fight for a single day. He says that we can't leave the invaders have their way with our world. But what can a single day do?" Lucemon states. "Lots of things can hinge on a single hour or a day. You know that tall Digimon that came with Kouichi and I? He's going to help us in this war. With the information he knows, this war can soon be over sooner. If I hadn't been there to meet him today, who knows what could have happened later when we meet. Is there anything else?" He says to the rookie. "Yea, how come your opinion matters more then Kouichi?" Lucemon asks. He was really thrown for a loop. "Huh?" He says without thinking. "Well you see, I really want to know why what you say as more important value to it then Kouichi says." Lucemon clarifies. He just stood there, thinking.

He finally gets what Lucemon was talking about. 'Remember to get Kouichi back, must get Kouichi back for this.' He sighs and looks Lucemon in the eye. "My opinion has more value then Kouichi's because you decided that it matters more. I for example have this friend name Rika, and her opinion matters to me on a different level then Kouichi's or your's. There are different opinions, like Rika's idea's of what kind of friend I am to her really matters to me. I hope to be a different kind of friend to Rika then to you or Kouichi. You like my, right?" He asks Lucemon, the rookie nods his head. "Do you like me more then, say, Calamon?" He asks Lucemon, Lucemon thinks about it and the says, "I think I like Calamon as my best friend, your like some thing else, just as important but different. Is that what you mean about different levels of importance?" He nods he's head. "I like you as a little cousin or another relative. I think of Guilmon part of my heart and soul. I see Calamon as a kid that sometimes needs to be looked after. And I think of all of the chosen children here as my friends. I might not know J.P. or Kouji as well as I know Kouichi, Takuya, Tommy, and Zoe, but I think of them as my friends. You see, about two weeks ago, I put more value on what Kouichi thought then his bother. We ended up somewhere completely different, but no harm was done. I don't think you've talked to your dad about any of this?" He asks Lucemon. "No, I don't what to bug him about something like this. Am I really like a relative to you?" Lucemon asks, a hopeful look on his face. He smiles and rubs Lucemon's hair. "Yip, and I don't think your dad wouldn't mind you bugging him. I think he might enjoy talking to you. Just don't walk in to an important meeting, try when he's having lunch or supper. I think he wants to talk to you about anything and everything. I'm honored that you trust me and I hope you know that you can come to me about some things." He says and takes his hand off Lucemon's head. Lucemon beams at him and nods his head, adding, "I'll do just that, cousin."

He walks way when Lucemon falls asleep. He then heads to his room. 'I'll think of a way to get back at Kouichi later. I haven't had a full night's rest in the last few days. I wonder if Guilmon what's to play in the fountain.' As soon has he hit the bed, he curls up into a ball and falls asleep.

--------------------------------------

Tommy looks at the marching group of freedom fighters. Tommy looks up into the sky; the star and the three moons look pretty. He turns to look at the trailmon that's waiting. The group of thirty Digimon was heading back into the sealed area. He was watching this from a really tall tree. Tommy hopes to see Takuya or J.P. back at the keep. He'll be getting a good night's sleep on the way to the keep.

He takes on look around and the jumps down. He lands easily and soon he's human again. He joins the group of Digimon heading to the trailmon.

--------------------------------------

He looks at the camp, from the information that Guyver told them, they now plan to attack the stone gateway that they saw open when they deleted the Ebemon. It's Sunday and they now plan a full out assault. They have been planning this since Friday, and he hope it'll do enough damage to the enemies moral. Calamon had decided to come with, to hope out with Digivolving.

Lucemon was spending the full day with Seraphimon. He was happy that Lucemon and Seraphimon are spending time together. He had also made a large amount of Guilmon Bread, and he had Kouichi help him. Kouichi had agreed readily enough, hoping to make it up to him about having put those thoughts into Lucemon's head. He also had help from Tommy, who seems to have a knack for cooking.

He grins at the thoughts and just sighs. He looks over at J.P. that's with him. J.P. looks over his way and their eyes meet. He then looks once more at the camp. 'I can't believe that they're this stupid. You'd think that with the last attack that they'd add towers or at least walls around the camp, but I guess Guyver was right. They really don't think things through any more. The only new things are the fact that there are buildings now and not just tents and the like. I hope Takuya and Zoe will look out for Calamon.'

He thinks and then looks at the sun. It's getting close to the right time. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He relaxes his body; his wing muscles also open up a little. The wings were still touching his back though. He opens his eye and he watches the enemy Digimon move around their camp.

(V)(V)(V)

He was with Kouji and Tommy, just waiting. With them were twelve Sealsdramon, twenty Honeybeemon, and their leader Kyuukimon. He hopes never to be on the receiving end of Kyuukimon's blades. He knew that J.P. and Takato didn't have anybody with them. The whole point was that none of the enemy Digimon ever wants to fights Takato. So, it's up to Takato and J.P. to get to the stone gate and destroy it. That'll make it hard for the enemy Digimon from getting reinforcements and sending reports back to the GL. That meant that they'd have to reconnect to the GL's home reality. Giving them time to come up with better plans and to keep the moral of the units here low.

They see the signal to begin. They begin to move forward.

(V)(V)(V)

He sees the signal to begin. He waits for J.P. to spirit evolve into Beetlemon. Then they move toward the camp. He knew that the other Digidestine had been waiting in their human spirit forms. J.P. had wanted to wait for the last minute before changing. They didn't want to attract the attention of the enemy to where they had been hiding.

After they cleared the forest, they took to the sky. They spy others alrighty in the sky. Soon the enemy sees that they're under attack and try to get organized to repel their attacks. He looks at where the stone gate was. He heads straight to it, dodging attacks as he does. He knew that J.P. was also heading that way; J.P. just wasn't flying with him.

He makes it the gate without much trouble. He circles it and spies that some Digimon was attacking J.P. He sighs and lands, he's about to attack when he gets tackled. He turns to face four Boarmon. He looks the lead Digimon in the eye and then he charges.

He tries to punch with his right arm and the Boarmon that he was attacking dodged and then he had to leap out of the way. For two of the Boarmon had tried their Slamming Attack on him. He was out numbered. But he didn't care, he was going to do what Seraphimon, Orphanimon, and Cherubimon had asked him to do. And he planned on doing it, even if he had to delete the whole camp.

He uses his Black Fire attack when two of the Boarmon had chosen to charge him. They didn't stand a chance. They disappear and their data fades. Now the last two Boarmon paused. He could see that they didn't like the odds now. He charges the Boarmon on the right. The Boarmon dodges but he spins around and uses Black Fire on the Boarmon that he charged.

The last Boarmon begins to back away, then turns and flees. He lets the Digimon go. He looks up to see J.P. coming towards him. "Good work! I almost thought that you'd need help." J.P. says, he grins at J.P. "You too. You got held up there for a while. Ready?" He says to J.P. "Anytime." J.P. says.

They turn to the stone gate, and then attack it. J.P. uses Thunder Fist and after J.P. moves out of the way, he takes out his D-ark and power card. He swipes the card through his D-ark and says, "Digimodify: Power activate!" He feels his power double and after he puts his D-ark and card away, he uses, "Black Fire Storm!" The huge funnel of black fire in gulfs the stone gate. When the attack finishes up, they find the stone gate and the ground surrounding it damaged. Then J.P. uses his Thunder Fist one last time and the stone gate gets deleted, not simply destroyed, but deleted. The ground looks like it's now made of glass.

J.P. looks at him and he just scratches the back of his head. "I over did it?" Heasks J.P. "Ok, remind me to never get you made you angry. But you could get work in making glass." J.P. jokes. "You think? Never though about it. Your right, I do seem to have a knack of making glass, weather I want to or not. Should we be going?" He asks. They turn to look at the battle, only to find that everybody had been staring at where the stone gate had been. Then the enemy Digimon abandons their own camp, yet again.
