Chapter 24
The WaruZanmon soon begins to leap up to the roof. He notices, but acts like he doesn't care. He keeps a sharp eye out for Jinx. He hopes that the calumon is alright.
He is finally satisfied with the damage done to the castle and turns his attention to WaruZanmon. "Finally! You finished with meaningless destruction?" WaruZanmon asks, making his annoyance very plain. He answers in a duel voice, "I thought I'd give you a demonstration of my power." WaruZanmon narrows his eyes in fury.
WaruZanmon then uses Shadow Blade once again. He just stops the attack with a single swipe of his right arm. He then turns to find a group of Navis watching.
He sees Navis that Chaud and Lan have met. Then other Navis that either of them has met were unknown. "Looks like we have some watchers." He says in his duel voice. WaruZanmon turns and looks at the watching Navis. "Then they can watch me delete you!" WaruZanmon says and turns towards him and attacks. He simple head butts the mega that's flying towards him.
WaruZanmon flips and lands on his feet and races towards his sword. He lands and folds his wings up. He waits for the smaller Digimon to attack. He uses his slender tail as a whip to knock WaruZanmon off his feet. He then snaps his head towards the fallen fighter and opens his jaws. WaruZanmon grabs a hold of his upper and lower jaws. They push test each other's strength. He slowly pushes WaruZanmon back and WaruZanmon then lets go of his jaws. WaruZanmon rolls to the left and raises his sword in a familiar fighting stance.
He stares down at the smaller mega and then rears up and uses his front arms to block the sword. WaruZanmon then punches his right arm and he grunts a bit, but snaps his head down. WaruZanmon dodges the attack but gets hit by his tail. He then snaps at the fallen sword, breaking it.
WaruZanmon lands and rolls to his knees. He could smell the anger coming off the other mega. WaruZanmon charges him and he is soon under attack by a series of punches. He then uses his Frost Blast on WaruZanmon.
Frozen solid, WaruZanmon can't block or evade his head butt. The ice encasing the virus breaks off as WaruZanmon is sent flying through the air. He then opens his wings and takes off. He shadows the mega and soon snatches the fighter in his jaws. He chomps down on the virus and soon the castle and him begin to fade out of the Net. He notices Jinx as well.
Soon Jinx and him are in this blackness. He then turns every which way to watch Digimon that lived at the warehouses appear and then vanish. He knows that they are on their way back to the Digital World. He smiles as he remembers the good times that Lan had with Set. Then about the other times that Chaud had with Jinx.
He turns to look at Jinx. "It'll be alright." He tells Jinx. Jinx grins and says, "Your right! What do you call yourself?" He blinks and then admits, "I haven't thought about it." Jinx then says, "O."
(--------------------------------------Megaman------------------------------------)
He wakes and finds himself on a table. He then slowly moves his head to his right and finds a light blond human lying on a table. He then blinks and then gets up. He uses his hand to keep him from lying back down.
He looks around the room some more. He finds a pair of white shorts and then looks over to where the human is laying. He notices that the shorts that the human was wearing were also white.
He then hears the human groan and move. Soon the human moves and looks in his direction. He finds himself looking into blue eyes. The human's eyes widen on seeing him. "Hey, I'm Megaman." He says. "Megaman? You're human!" The other says. He stiffens and then says, "Protoman?" The blond nods his head. He feels numb; he can't believe that the human in front of him is Protoman.
After gawking at each other for a good ten minutes, he finally says, "You're blond and have blue eyes." The teen answers, "You kind of look like Lan, only with emerald eyes." He blinks and runs a hand through his brown hair. He just gazes off into space, if Protoman is human, that makes him human too.
Soon they also get off the tables and begin to walk about. He finds it so odd; he finds it strange to be human. For one thing, he could feel the cold floor. He also notices how the tiny hairs on his arms rise up too. He then realizes that he's cold.
A door appeared and in walked in a man in light brown robes. The looks to be in his twenties with light brown hair and hazel eyes. In his hands are cloths and shoes for the two of them. He glances at the other teen; he finds it hard to call him Protoman though.
"I see that you're up, here are some cloths for you." The man puts the cloths on the closest table, the one he was lying on. He picks the light blue shirt and dark brown pants. He then puts on some socks and then the grey runners.
The other teen is now wearing a red shirt, brown pants, and grey runners. After they both finish checking out each other, they turn to the man. The man then begins, "I believe you have notice that you are no longer Navis. The reason is simple, both Chaud and Lan are no long … alive a sense." Both of them try to ask questions, but the man simply puts his arms up and says, "Just wait, I'll explain. You see, they DNA Digivolved into a mega level Digimon. So, they are and aren't 'alive.' Right now, the Digimon that they formed is between worlds. We are researching means to get them to split apart, but that's going to take some time." They both sigh and the teen that used to be Protoman asks, "Then why turn us into humans?" The man looks sad for a second, and then says, "They'll be Digimon through and through. As you may know, Digimon are not allow in the Real World. This also goes for humans and the Digital World. The reason that Digimon were able to was because Iris wasn't opening gates from the Digital World, but from the Net. We'll be working harder to stop that from happening again, though." They look doubtful at this.
The man sighs and continues, "You are now blood related to Chaud." The man points to the blond. The blond teen's eyes widen. "Then what about him?" The blond asks. He looks guilty and says, "I'm based on Lan's older twin that died at birth. So, I've been Lan's brother since I was created." The other teen blinks and they then turn to look at the man again. "The reason is simple, with Chaud and Lan no longer human, the two of you are to go back to the real world and take the spots left open. You'll take over from Chaud; you do know his business inside out. And you are to be there to comfort your parents." The man says. He nods in understanding what the man means.
"But we don't have a record or anything!" The blond says. "That's easily taken care of. The world will not remember a time without the two of you, only the Hikari's though. The humans are not ready to understand or know about the Digital World. This whole thing will be erased as if it never happened and the Real World will only know that your brothers disappeared. The history of the Real World will be rewritten to include the two of you." The man says.
He then asks, "Was this all prearranged?" The man then says, "Only bit of it. Here is what was predicted. 'From a world not Digital, they are chosen. Two shall step forward; one to chose a form and the other to mirror it. A demon and angel shall work as one and the disrupter will die. Both shall return home and wait. Trespass not into the other Digital plane, for pain and sorrow shall find the demon and angel. Two shall form an evil and the chosen shall ease to exist. Ice shall make all things right.'" They both just blink and he asks, "Demon? Angel?" The man explains, "You're twin's Digivolution was into demon beasts as a champion and a ultimate. Chaud's ultimate form was that of an angel." He was kind of stunned at that, he kind of thought that Lan would have been the angel.
They stay silent for a few minutes, then the blond asks, "Then what are our names?" The man says, "Your name is Neo Blaze and your is Yuuji Hikari." He blinks at hearing Yuuji, but doesn't ask about why it's not what that core program is called. The man then motions for them to follow him. They did and they soon found themselves some place different.
(---------------------------------------Neo------------------------------------------)
He thinks about the last two years. He finds it hard to believe that he had ever been a Navi. Both Yuuji and him had been dropped off by the Hikari's house. They learnt that much like them, Lan and Yuuji's parents also remember the original timeline and also the new one.
It took them an hour before their new memories came to them. They were both 'younger' brothers to Chaud and Lan and they were only two year younger then them. Chaud and Lan were also sixteen years old instead of fourteen too. This makes Yuuji and him in the same age group that Chaud and Lan were suppose to be in. Also Chaud's Navi was still called Protoman and Lan's Megaman, though the Navis disappeared with their Netops.
Chaud and Lan still did the whole save the world thing too. Yuuji and him choice to not have custom made Navis. It would just feel weird if they did, but that doesn't stop them from being really good net battlers though. They usually ranked second or third, never first though.
He snaps out of his thoughts as he spots Yuuji blading towards him. They both took up blading a good month after they had been human. "Hey Neo!" Yuuji says. He smiles and nods, saying, "Hey Yuuji." Yuuji sits down on a bench and takes off his blades and then puts on some runners. Then the other teen walks over and sits in the shade with him.
"How are things with the company?" Yuuji asks. "Nothing new, you?" He asks. "Got talked into a date with Tea." He grins at this, knowing full well that Yuuji has this huge crush on Tea. "You big chance then." He hints and Yuuji pales and says, "It's not like that! It's a quick one, her first date couldn't go and I just happen to be around!" He snorts; they have found the joy of teasing each other silly.
He continues to bug Yuuji about it for a good ten minutes, and then they both quiet down. They remain silent for five minutes, and then Yuuji asks, "You think that they're happy where ever they are?" He answers, "I believe they are. You told me that Lan found someone to act like his father. I think they're fine. I just wished we had the chance to say bye." Yuuji nods and they then watch as Lan's old friends come their way. They didn't say a word about Chaud or Lan, even though its been two years to this day since they disappeared.
(---------------------------------------Lan-------------------------------------------)
He grins as he watches Chaud and Jinx walk towards him. It's been eight months since Chaud and Jinx when off to visit Wave Aim. Now they're returning.
He glances around the desert area behind him. Then he spots the smoke from Set's cooking fire. When Chaud and him finally split from being a mega, they found themselves by Fresh Wave. They also met up with Set and after two months, decided to take them to Baking Furnace, it was a land of deserts and where Chaud's type and his own type prefer to live. It was the land like Australia where desert types Digimon make their home.
They found that they were the only Aroomon and Kovumon around too. It took them six months of exploring around before they found a good spot to make their home.
Chaud and Jinx get closer and he says, "About time! What kept you?" Chaud shrugs and says, "Rough sailing weather." He studies Chaud and then turns to Jinx and asks, "Is this true?" One of Chaud's hands shot out and stops Jinx from answering. "What? You don't trust me?" Chaud asks. He says, "You seem too relaxed." Jinx giggles and wiggles out of Chaud's grip and says, "He met a girl!" Chaud says, "Traitor!" Chaud then tries to capture the white Digimon but Jinx just hides behind his back, so Chaud settles for just glaring at the so-called 'Traitor.' He rolls his eyes and says, "Come on! Set's cooking lunch already." That brightens Chaud's mood and they then walk towards their home.
They knew that they could never go back to the real world, because it was a price of DNA Digivolving. They were truly Digimon now and Digimon aren't welcome in the real world, but humans aren't too welcome in the Digital World either. He touches his Digivice that rests on his chest. They can still Digivolve whenever they wish to. They just prefer being rookies. He wonders a bit about just what will happen in the future, but decides not to be too worried about it.
He's happy that Chaud found someone; he's not looking though. He might in a few years, but for now, he just want to enjoy this second 'childhood' as it were. Besides, they'll live long and healthy lives in the Digital World. The average life span of a Digimon tends to be a good two hundred years, unless it ends sooner or they Digivolve into megas. Turns out very few Digimon ever Digivolve pass ultimate. There are those that decide that DNA Digivolving look good after the end of their life spans, just few ever take that opinion though.
They also know, but they don't understand how they know this, that their Navis are ok and that they themselves aren't missed too badly. They also know that the memories about Digimon had been wiped too. He hopes that their ex-Navis are ok.
They soon spot the house and then the cooking fire. Set turns and waves at Chaud and Jinx. Chaud waves and Jinx heads over to Set to talk with the champion level Digimon. He walks with Chaud into the house to help Chaud unpack.
"Nothing's changed." Chaud says suddenly. He sighs and says, "Just some things haven't, but lots of things have. It's doesn't hurt as it use to." Chaud then says, "True. The good thing is that for now, everything is in harmony." He nods and they soon finish. They head outside to get something to eat; it's camel meat tonight.
To Readers:
Thanks for reading my story! Now you'll have to wait for December for my next story, Trails of Life. It's about TK and his partner going back into time to change things. There will be other X-antibody Digimon making appearances too, just not in the first part of my story or more about the differences between the eight year old TK and his over two hundred year old other self nickname Jager. It'll be following the first season for the beginning of the story. Weather I'll have Ken become the Digimon Emperor or not I'm still deciding about, but Davis, Yolei, Cody, and Ken will be Digidestine though. See you next month!
Here's another sample of that story:
'He travels for most of the night and soon finds the amusement park that he remembers. Soon he finds hears a something behind him and turns to find an angry Tokomon. "You seen a tall, white haired human around here?" He asks his other self. Tokomon blinks at him and then nods, "You're Jager's partner?" He grins at the name and nods his head. "Yip, I'm Revmon. Could you take me to him?" He tells his other self.
Tokomon sizes him up and then turns to lead him away. He follows by walking around on his hind legs. He grins as he looks at the way TK and, well, Jager seem to interact. Jager turns and nods at him. He walks over with his other self.'
