Chapter 10

They got lucky, for they have come within of a village. He looks at Lan and then looks back at the village. He holds onto his Digivice and gets and image of a four legged Digimon with four blades on the back.

Gizamon

Rookie level Digimon

Virus type

Sea Animal. Attacks are Spiral Saw and Four-Leg Kick.

Then another image appears, one of a green Digimon with a large red fin.

Betamon

Rookie level Digimon

Virus type

Amphibian. Attacks are Electric Shock and Beta Slugger.

Just when he thought that was all, another image appears.

Mantaraymon

Armour level Digimon

Vaccine type

Aquatic. Attacks are Torpedo Ray and Tail Booster.

Followed by another image.

Archelomon

Armour level Digimon

Data type

Reptile. Attacks are Ocean Streamer and Fin Cutters.

And then what he hopes it the last one.

Orcamon

Armour level Digimon

Data type

Sea Animal. Attacks are Ultrasonic Crusher and Reflection Wave.

He waits for a good three minutes and then relaxes. He lets go of his Digivice and let it hit his chest. Lan then steers the Ya Arrow towards the village. Jinx just continues to sleep, which he didn't mind at all. It's not that he had anything against Jinx; it's just that Jinx might decide to fly over to the village without them being able to reach him if the village is hostile.

They slowly make their way towards the docks and find a gathering of Digimon close to where they were going to be landing. They watch as some AquaAgumon also appear. He tries to remember not to panic, to follow Lan's example. He forces himself to look calm and indifferent, even though in his mind he was panicking. He now wishes that Jinx would wake, for the little guy would take his mind off all this.

He tosses out the line to some Digimon waiting at the docks. He could have laugh at the expression on some of the Digimon's faces. He really doesn't know how, but he remained calm as he watches as a AquaAgumon hurries to tie up the boat. He picks up Jinx after he gets his pack on and then waits for Lan to do something.

Lan jumps ashore and bows to the Orcamon that everyone seems to be glancing at. "I hope there isn't a problem in us being here. I'm Lan and the other is Chaud. Jinx is the one in Chaud's arms." Lan says politely. The Orcamon and many others seem to be relieved at this and the Orcamon says, "I'm Keel. Welcome to Fresh Wave. Sorry, we didn't know what to make of you. You see, we've been having trouble with some evil types. I'll let Commander Strike explain. If you'll follow me, please." He leaps out of the Ya Arrow and follows Keel through the village.

The crowd of Digimon parts and goes back about their business. They walk first part of the village, made up of simple huts and lodges. They soon walk on a path and travel for a bout twenty minutes to a large house. The house is a good five stories tall. It's more like a mansion, he decides as they approach.

They see different types of Digimon then before, though he does see some Digimon that remind him of AquaAgumon, just more orange in colour and without the fins. He then turns to look at where Keel is leading them. He just blinks at the Digimon that stood by the doors. The Digimon resembles Lan, but taller and much lighter in color. The mane and the fur on the tip of the tail are yellow and the Digimon also didn't wear a vest. This Digimon carries a sword and on one of the hands have black leather wrapped around it. The pants were also black and there seems to be some fur sticking out around the feet. Around the Digimon's neck was a red necklace.

The Digimon glances at him and the stares at Lan. He watches as Lan holds his Digivice and an image appears. He gets close to read the info.

Leomon

Champion level Digimon

Vaccine type

Beast Man. Attacks are Fist of the Beast King and Beast Sword.

He blinks in surprise that both Leomon and Lan have almost the same attack; only Lan's attack is Beast Fist. The two Digimon also seem surprise at what has happened. "A Digivice. Who would have thought." Leomon states in amazement and then recovers. "My name is Set. It's not often that one meets a Kovumon or an Aroomon, let alone to traveling together with a Calumon." Set says. Lan then introduces them, "I'm Lan and the Aroomon is Chaud. Then there's Jinx the Calumon." Set nods and then opens the doors for them.

They travel with both Keel and Set through the house. As they were walking up the first set of stairs, Jinx finally wakes. Once Jinx takes a look around, the little guy jumps the gun and says, "On no you don't! I'm not going to stand by and let you kidnap my friends!" He sighs and says, "Relax, their friends." Jinx went from really angry to cheerful. He's use to this kind of thing already and so was Lan. The other two just sigh as Jinx begins to ask question and then chat about this and that and the other thing.

They continue to follow Set up the stairs as Jinx floats overhead chatting. They soon find them selves heading towards some really big doors. He feels Jinx sit on his right shoulder as they approach the doors. The doors open and they find themselves in a large room that seems to be a good three levels tall. He stares at the large screens and at the computers that line the room.

He then looks at the large Digimon at the centre of it all. Set and Keel lead them onto a platform. Keel then whispers, "Commander Strike is a JungleGreymon. There rare to see outside the lands of Ash Rain." He studies the Digimon with great interest.

The large Digimon is green with stripes of brown. The metal helmet didn't cover the whole head and was painted different shades of green and a bit of brown. The Commander's body was long and his arms have three fingers with a thumb. The long snake like tail is curled up around his legs. He could see how well the JungleGreymon out hide in a jungle habitat.

Commander Strike's blue eyes turn in their direction and Keel then reports, "Commander Strike, we brought the ones sailing towards the village." The Commander turns to regard them and then nods in their direction. "I'll speak with them after dinner. Show them around, Keel and Set." Commander Strike says and then returns to listening to other reports.

(----------------------------------------Lan------------------------------------------)

They have been at the mansion for a good three days. Most of it has been training. They have been briefed about the operation that Tass has been leading here in Burning Ice. He's a bit impatient about staying so long in one area for so long. It makes him a bit jumpy, for since he's been here, all he's ever done is travel.

He also learnt more about why it's a good thing that his a Digimon. What resentment he's heard kind of scares him. It seems that there are three worlds. One is the real world, where humans live, then there's this world, the Digital World, where Digimon live, and then the newest plane is the Net, where the Navis were. It seems that long ago, humans created Digimon, but didn't try to finish what they started, so Digimon had to Digivolve to survive.

Then two Digimon named Magnadramon and Goldramon worked tirelessly to create a world based off what they could from the data of the real world. It's connection to the real world are just supper fiscal in nature, but they might be enough to bring him here. Also the two mega level Digimon in time were deleted, but also made certain that the Digital World would survive by creating a kind of order. This order's members aren't Digimon, but kind of like Navis but more beastly looking. They don't have a name, for no Digimon has ever meet on of these beings.

This being though, monitor the Digital World though. And when some powerful Digimon decides to disrupt the balance of the Digital World, Digivices are sent out to certain Digimon. This Digimon then fight to restore the balance of the Digital World. The Digivices do such things as help the Digimon to Digivolve, to learn more about opposition Digimon, and shows a map of the Digital World.

He grins at the memory of went he told Keel and Set that either Chaud or him have Digivolved in any of their battles. Even Chaud cracked a smile and Jinx just giggled out right. Both Keel and Set were sure that they must have Digivolved by now, but then decide to up their training.

He wonders which of them will Digivolve first, Chaud or him. He wouldn't mind it if it's Chaud. He was a bit more concerned with what Set had told him about Digivolving into dark types based on such emotions as hate, jealous, and vengeance. His smile fades as he thinks about it. He didn't want to go out of control, he didn't want to injury anyone, but it seems that it could happen and has in the past.

He wonders just why he's been pushed into such a position. Also wondering why he was chosen to be a Digidestine as they were called. He's just a eight year old kid, now he doesn't act or think like one, but he'll hide it when he gets home. He doesn't want people looking at him oddly. He could see that Chaud hasn't noticed how much he's grown. Jinx does though, and likes to tease Chaud about it, though Chaud doesn't seem to catch on to what Jinx was talking about.

'I wonder if I should act more like Jinx when I get home. It would be so easy and I'll have a model to act off of. I just hope that the fate of the real world will rest on someone else's shoulders though. Saving this world will be enough for me.' He thinks as he looks at the night sky. A part of him wonders if he'll ever come back here again. He'll miss Chaud and Jinx. They've gotten close and he wonders if that's what it's like to have brothers.

He gets up and turns to find Chaud has fallen asleep on the roof. He notices that Jinx is in Chaud's arms, also fast asleep. He then moves carefully and picks Chaud up bridal style. He grunts a bit at the weight, but it's nothing to what Set has him left. He walks into the building and then carefully down the stairs. He smiles slightly as he pushes the door open to their room. Then he lays Chaud onto his bed and covers the two of them with sheets.

He then walks out of the room and closes the door gently. Then walks to the room across from them and opens it. He steps into this own room and decided to brush his teeth before heading off to bed. He soon turns off the lights and covers himself with the sheets. He just lets his thoughts drift and he slowly falls asleep.

In his dream he sees this blue Navi with the crest that's usually on his headband. He feels calm in this Navi presents. Then they go off on adventures through the Net and beyond.

(------------------------------------Chaud--------------------------------------)

He dreams of a red Navis that wears a helmet and has long white hair. He doesn't really know why he'd dream of such a Navi, he didn't even own a PET. He could see the Navi fight viruses and other Navi. He finds that the fights are a breeze.

He slowly wakes up and finds that he's in his own room. He glances down at Jinx and then moves Jinx out of the way. He sees the time and he made a mental note to thank Lan later.
