Chapter 16
They find a quiet spot to sit and finish off their ice cream. His younger 'brother' and him had spent the morning looking around in shops. Then they found a small place to have lunch and then for desert, ice cream.
He was ready to talk to TK about his personal history. He might be a bit edgy about it, but decided to let TK pick the topic. He stares around the small patch of trees that's closest to where they're sitting. TK then asks, "You want to talk more, don't you?" He nods in his head and waits for a few minutes before saying, "What part do you want to hear?"
His 'brother' thinks about it as they finish off the ice cream and then eat the cones. "How about the first time Revmon Digivolved into a champion?" He flinches on hearing that. TK looks concerned about him, but he forestalls TK from speaking. "This one just shows how rash I was, so that's why I kind of flinched at it is all. It was nine years after I was reborn…"
(-/-/-/-)
He rereads the info that Gennai and other informants have on WaruSeadramon. He's determined to fight and defeat this ultimate level Digimon. He puts down the report and looks over at where Revmon is sleeping.
He feels more waves of guilt and sorrow at having been reborn again. He feels that he doesn't deserve to be alive right now. 'Why me? Why not someone else, like Tai or Matt? I don't deserve to be alive right now, they do. If I had done things differently, would they still be alive right now?' He thinks as he remembers the past.
He blinks as he stares at the night sky. It's going to be dawn soon and they were within a few hours walking distance of where the WaruSeadramon is living. He hears Revmon stir and he looks over at his partner. Revmon's head turns towards him and his partner's eyes open.
"You didn't sleep a wink, huh?" Revmon asks. He just sighs and looks at the file folder on the ground by him. "We could turn back you know." Revmon says quietly. He shakes his head and stares towards the lake that is their destination. "I want to get this over with, ultimate or not, this Digimon is going down." He says in an angry tone. He glances at Revmon after a few minutes and finds his partner putting out the fire.
He feels another wave of self-loathing and guilt about how he's treating Revmon. He turns to pick up the file folder and puts it back into the pack. He then takes out some dried fruit and meat. He tosses three to Revmon and takes one to eat for himself. They eat in silence and then they finish repacking the equipment.
They start on their way to the lake. He focuses on the task before them and hopes that their ready for this. He might not admit this to Revmon, but his really worried about this assignment, he doesn't know if Revmon is strong enough to take on this Digimon without being able to Digivolve into his champion or ultimate form. They also have no clue as to what Revmon's higher forms look like.
It takes them a good three hours to come within sight of the lake. He frowns as he surveys the area around the lake. He notices the make shift base that's being built by WaruSeadramon's orders. He watches as series of Woodmon and Weedmon begin to stop for a break.
He scans for anyone that looks to be the boss of the camp. It takes a good nineteen minutes of waiting the base before he figures out that the Hookmon is in charge of operations. He signals for them to pull back and he moves as quietly as he can into the trees behind them.
"The Hookmon?" Revmon asks. He nods in agreement with that guess. He then takes out some bottled water and tosses one to his partner and then takes out more dried fruit and meat. He gives Revmon three of them, and then puts the rest away. He takes a few gulps of water to help him feel revived then puts his bottle away. He stares at a tree, lost in his thoughts until hearing Revmon finish off his water bottle.
He puts the garbage away and they then leave the pack here. They once again look at the base and find most of the Digimon were leaving the base camp and heading into the woods. He figures that they're going to get more supplies of building material and food. They wait until the last Digimon has been gone for a good twenty minutes before heading into the camp.
The Digimon that remain were quickly deleted and the few Gizamon and Otamamon were set free. They then search the camp for any information about the remaining members of the group that murdered him and his friends. All they found were burnt paper, meaning that the group has gotten wind of what's happening. He sighs and they then head for the summoning platform.
He notes the large gong and he picks up the stick. He tests the sticks weight and then he bangs the gong with the stick once. Then when the sound dies down, he strikes it again. Then a third time and the waters part to reveal a large serpent Digimon.
He studies WaruSeadramon as the virus studies him in turn. He notes the maroon coloured scales with the black helmet. The blue eyes of WaruSeadramon then turn and study his partner. He tenses as WaruSeadramon growls and say, "So, it's the two of you that dare challenge me. You are fools! Prepare to be deleted!" "Not if we delete you first!" He yells and Revmon launches himself at the sea dragon.
He retreats away from the platform before something happens to the platform. As soon as he moves a bit more into the camp, WaruSeadramon slams into the platform. He watches as his partner is hanging onto WaruSeadramon's back with his claws. He looks around for something to get WaruSeadramon's attention. He finds a stash of fireworks; he doesn't contemplate why they were there, only that they'll work.
He takes five out and finds a lighter. He soon lights the ends on fire and stand back. All five shoot into the air and they explode. "Those were for my Hatching Day!" WaruSeadramon roars in outrage. He blinks as that statement sinks in. 'Ok, that's just plain weird! Since when have Digimon celebrate the day they were hatched? Come to think about it, do they even know when they hatched?' He thinks as Revmon climbs to WaruSeadramon's head and begins to try and dig into the body of WaruSeadramon by WaruSeadramon's neck and helmet meet.
He again runs for it, mostly in hopes of not causing Revmon to do something to let go of his hold on the virus's body. Then WaruSeadramon cries out, "Dark Blast!" He dodges the attack best he can, but he's flung through some of the tents. He coughs as the dirt is hanging in the air. He finds that he aches all over his body and that he's kind of tired. He crawls out from under the canvas of tents and of tent poles.
He reveals himself and lies on his back. He watches dully as Revmon screams in rage and uses his Air Slasher attack a good four times in a row. He observes as WaruSeadramon roars in pain and then begins to buck around in hopes of flinging off Revmon. He's having a hard time thinking straight, but when WaruSeadramon finally flings his partner off his body, he yells, "Revmon!"
As WaruSeadramon pauses at hearing yell out his partner's name, he's Digivice beeps and his partner begins to glow. "Revmon Digivolve to… Fylgiamon!" His partner announces to the world. As Fylgiamon, his partner now stands over a good six feet tall and looks to be human but his skin colour is a dark grey, hair and his cloths are black. The hair stops at the waist of Fylgiamon. On his partner's back are two pairs of feathered wings. One set of wings are white with gold tips and the second set of wings are black with silver tips. Fylgiamon's eyes are covered with a simple black cloth. He notes that Fylgiamon's nails look to be claws and he has a pair of light purple horns about half a foot long coming out of his forehead.
He's impressed and feels pride as he looks at Fylgiamon. He can't help but smile warmly at his partner. "I'm sorry, Fylgiamon for making you battle." He whispers. He doesn't know how, but he hears Fylgiamon promise, "You're still lost, but I'll be by your side no matter what." He holds back the tears at hearing this, only nods. He's kind of choked up about this.
Then WaruSeadramon attacks the flying champion. Fylgiamon meets this head on and punches the ultimate on the snout. This sends WaruSeadramon into the lake. WaruSeadramon's then tries Dark Blast on his partner. Fylgiamon calls out, "Collision Forces!" As he watches in awe, the incoming attack mixes with the black energy of Fylgaimon's attack. They mesh together and then enter the water. He watches as the attack hits something underwater, for the water is sent up into the air and then comes raining down.
He watches as data particles move through the air and he relaxes at seeing this. He closes his eyes, but then hears his partner's voice telling him to stay awake. He groans at this, for he's so tired, but he opens his eye to find Fylgiamon leaning over him. He says tiredly, "Can't I rest?" "I think it's better that you stay awake, TK. You might have a concussion." Fylgiamon says in a worried tone. He sighs and tries to remember just what a concussion is. He closes his eyes again, but opens them when he feels Fylgiamon pick him up. "Sorry to be a burden, Revmon." He whispers to his partner. "Just don't leave me yet, ok?" Fylgiamon begs him. He flushes at that and says, "I'll try my best, but I can't promise anything as of yet." "That's good enough for me." Was all Fylgiamon tells him.
(-/-/-/-)
He looks off at a tree as he remembers how hard it had been to stay awake at the time. He just leans back, hoping that the tension that the memory will ebb away. He forces himself to relax as he closes his eyes and opens them.
"So Fylgiamon got you back to Gennai then?" His other self asks. He chuckles at that and answers, "Not at all. I was kind of already fading in and out, so Fylgiamon took me to the closest doctor in the area. The doctor was a Gizzlymon. You'll not find one in the Digital World just yet. They're kind of new Digivolution line. So while the doctor was tending me, Revmon went offto getmy pack. It seems that a pair of Zerimon had found the pack and were already eating the rest of the food. Revmon talked them out of their hiding spot and brought them back to the hut." He pauses and looks into TK's eager face. "It turns out that the pair were Gizzlymon's little siblings that were missing for a good three days and Gizzlymon was about to go looking for them when Revmon brought me to him. I'm told that Revmon was almost crushed in Gizzlymon's bear hug!" He watches as TK giggles at the image of a large bear Digimon squeezing Revmon in a great big bear hug.
He sighs and checks the time. It's 4:28 pm, close to when TK's suppose to be home. He sighs and tells TK, "Time to go. It's almost 5:00 little bro." TK blinks at him in surprise and he asks, "What?" "You never called me bro before is all." Is TK's reply. He watches as TK leads the way out of the park. He smiles a bit. 'I guess I could call him that. I did say that in a way he is my brother. Maybe a twin, but he remains a brother. TK's not me, but we're twins 'cause of the fact that I use to be him. I'm getting confused! No more thinking about this until I get home.' He thinks and slowly walks towards where TK is leading him.
