Chapter 12

Set the Leomon. Set continues to have an impact in my life, just as Chaud and Jinx do. Set was always there for me when I was at Fresh Wave. He seems to have taken a liking to me from the moment we meet. Set worried about me and pushed me to be better. I learnt from Set that sometimes you have to keep going to get stronger. I took that advice to heart and I push Megaman in my own way as Set had me.

I know in a way that I would have preferred that it was me taking on many of the Navis that were set against Megaman and me. Despite the fact that I could help Megaman by downloading battle chips, it was all Megaman in the end. Even with cross-fusion, I always felt that I wasn't doing enough. Sometime I wished that I never left the Digital World, for then I wouldn't have to worry about saving the Net and the real world. Things were just simpler when I was a Digidestine. I had many good friends and there were some places that I wished I could have visited. I never spoke of that time in the Digital World, I don't think anyone will believe me if I did. A whole world that's beyond humans reach or greed. It's to the point where it's to keep the Digimon from influencing the real world.

They were on their way back to the land that they began in. He looks around at the gathering of Digimon here to see them off. They have helped out with getting rid of fragments of Tass's army. They spent a good two months here and he'll miss this place.

They finish saying their good byes to their friends and then they get on board that boat. They place the packs under the benches and he positions himself at the rear of the boat. Chaud then tosses the ropes off the boat and Jinx just continues to wave bye to the Digimon. They soon are sailing southwest. He turns to take one last look at the remaining Digimon; his eyes rest on Set for the longest time before returning to the tasks at hand.

They have a good four months of sailing and he wonders what kind of situation they'll be sailing into when they get there. He wonders if he'll get to see Alex again. He smiles slightly at that, but he knows that he'll miss his new friend from Fresh Wave.

Jinx then seems to sigh and then turns to looks at Chaud. "Just what kind of Digimon is KendoKangmon?" Jinx asks. Chaud just stares at Jinx and then glances at him. He shrugs at this and then Chaud holds his Digivice and soon an image of KendoKangmon appears.

KendoKangmon

Champion level Digimon

Vaccine type

Sword Fighter. Attacks are Storm Blades and Cyclone Fury.

He watches as the image of KendoKangmon fades and he thinks about what KendoKangmon looks like. As KendoKangmon, Chaud's skin color was still red and Chaud's hair was also green, plus much longer. Chaud also grew a good foot as KendoKangmon. Chaud's clothing as KendoKangmon was similar to Aroomon's cloths in colour but with a black jacket and blue shorts. On Chaud's arms as a champion were grey armour and on the legs were more grey armour. Chaud's champion form looks to be a mature version of Chaud's rookie form.

He sighs as he wonders just what adventures await them when they get to Corral Port. He sighs as he realizes that he'll be spending a good four months with a bored Jinx. He pales at the very thought.

Chaud sends him a questioning glance and he just stares at Jinx. Then Chaud begins to realize just what was on his mind. Chaud also looks a little pale too. They both decide that it's going to be a long journey. He just hopes that at the end of all this, that they'll be sane.

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

He really don't know who to thank, either Shinya the Depthmon for coming into their lives after a good month at sailing the Hail Ocean or to that odd portal that took them to be a week's time away from their goal after meeting Shinya two weeks later. It's kind of a tie on it, mostly because if they hadn't meet Shinya, they wouldn't know what's happening with Lord Yama. But then there's the simple fact that they good to Corral Port a whole lot faster. He finds that it really hard to choice between the two.

He looks at the angel type Digimon that's currently chatting with Lan. Jinx's is on his head and he wonders at just who this Digimon is. He could tell that Lan seems to be thinking real hard about this and then the female angel Digimon breaks off and says, "It's been a while Lan. It's me, Alex?"

Both Lan and him were stunned at this. For the last he heard was that Alex was a Gatomon. "You Digivolved?" Lan asks. Alex nods her head and then motions for them to follow her through the city. It had taken them a good month to travel all the way here. It was a long journey, but mostly just boring.

As they walk through Bright Dawn, it's a city built about a very large castle. The streets were busy as Digimon move around shopping or trying to get to appointments. The section of the city they were traveling through was made for Digimon less then ten feet tall. There are other sections of this city built for large Digimon to get around. They heard about it from an inn they stayed at a good five days ago.

It took them a good hour to get to the castle and with the fact that Alex is the one leading them; they didn't get stopped by any of the guards. Though there were guards that say hey to Alex as they pass. He didn't get some of the looks that Alex received from some of the guards, but decided that it's none of his concern.

They were then asked to wait in a waiting room as Alex leaves them. They sit down and Jinx decides to float around. He then asks, "So, that's Alex, huh." Lan just says, "Yip. I didn't know she could Digivolve into an angel type." He nods his head and wonders about their meeting will be like. They still have the reports from Commander Strike to hand over and then they plan to help in any way that they can to defeat Lord Arthas.

Unlike Lan, he now has control over his Digivolving. Lan has yet to become a champion Digimon, but that doesn't mean that Lan couldn't. It just means that Lan hasn't been put in the right situation that needs him to Digivolve.

They watch Jinx try to move a sword from a crest of arms that's hanging on the wall. The sword for one thing, was just too big for Jinx to get much of a handle on it and the other thing is that the whole crest was welded together. But it's funny to watch the white guy try to get the sword out.

After a good thirty minutes of pulling on the darn sword, Jinx gives up. He watches as Jinx then lands on Lan's head and fell asleep. Lan then says, "You know, Jinx's attention span seems to have grown over time. Think about it, wouldn't Jinx at the beginning just give up on it after a good five minutes of not being able to move the sword?" He blinks in surprise and finds that Lan's right. Jinx has grown up, not only did Jinx seem to remember things and recall them, but wasn't as easily distracted as he once was. That's was the problem on the Ya Arrow, they couldn't distract the in-training Digimon easily, not that they tried too hard either.

He looks at Jinx and smiles a bit, for it means that when he goes home, Jinx'll remember him. And his heart lifts at the thought. He knows that Lan'll remember him, but he never thought that Jinx might not though. It never crossed his mind until now, but he's new worries didn't get a chance to grow.

Soon Alex returns and motions for them to follow her and they get up and follow that angel Digimon. They walk into a hallway with pictures hanging on the walls. Soon they see a large door and watch as a Digimon opens the door for them.

They walk into the room and they find a tall knight Digimon standing by a large chair. The knight Digimon's armour is white with red trim and cape. He wonders just who this Digimon is, for the way that Alex is acting, it must be someone important.

"Welcome to my castle. I'm Lord Yama." The tall knight Digimon tells them. Lan then moves forward and says, "I'm Lan and the one on my head is Jinx. This is my comrade Chaud. It's a pleasure to meet you Lord Yama. We also bring news from Commander Strike from Burning Ice." He watches as Alex seems a bit stunned, but recovers and says, "I'll leave you now. Good day." Alex then turns to leave, the doors close behind her.

Then Lord Yama then says, "I never thought I live to see the day." Then Lord Yama sits down and continues, "You can drop the reports off with Alex after this. Let me say that your arrival is most welcome and that your help will be much appreciated. Tell me, what's your journey like so far?" They then glance at each other then Lan begins.

They finish telling Lord Yama about what they have seen and done. Jinx had woken up and was now on his left shoulder. Lord Yama has been quiet for the last three minutes. Then slowly Lord Yama sighs in defeat. "So Lord Arthas is truly the mastermind behind all this." Lord Yama says sadly.

They say nothing, then their stomach pick this time to remind them at they were getting hungry. They look sheepish at this and they could tell that Lord Yama seems to find this amusing. "I remember what it's like to be a rookie. I believe that as a Guilmon, my appetite was quite large. Not that I also could use a meal." Lord Yama says and then they all hear another growl coming from the knight. "I rule that it's meal time. We'll speak more later." The lord says and they all leave the room.

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

They just finish their third helping of breakfast when they were asked they were finished. It seems that Lord Yama wishes to speak with them. With a bit of sadness, they left the breakfast table and followed Digimon. They had time enough yesterday to have a bath and then to get their cloths cleaned. They had just borrowed some white shorts until their cloths were cleaned.

They find the room has other Digimon then just Lord Yama. He glances at some of them and finds that he doesn't know enough about Digimon to say what kind of Digimon they were. They soon stand before the group of Digimon and Lord Yama then begins, "This are the ones chosen by the Digivices to help us in our time of need. The one on the left is Lan and the other is Chaud. The Calumon is called Jinx. They were the ones that brought the reports from Commander Strike. I believe that all of you have received a summary of the reports?" There were murmurs of agreement, then Lord Yama continues. "These two have single handily deleted Tass the SkullSatamon, no small feat that I know a more then a few of you will admit to. Therefore, I wish to say that I place my trust in these three to assault the castle of Dawn Peck as we attack the main army. I believe that they'll be able to handle Lord Arthas until either help as arrived or to delete him on their own. Are there any who object to this course of action?"

Nobody spoke, not even Alex who he has finally spotted. He just hopes that they're up for this challenge. The room is silent for a good three minutes before Lord Yama then begins to speak about battle plans. He didn't really pay much attention to what's being planned or who's to lead the attack from which side.

Soon the meeting is over and they plan to attack in a month's time. This also means that they'll be given hard missions to help them prepare for their fight with Lord Arthas. They were taken to another room and there they were briefed on their mission this afternoon. He mentally hopes that they'll get a really good supper after this.
