Chapter Three: The Power of One
After the first bio-emergence, everything was quiet. They day went by without a hitch. No more D-Reaper, no more battles, just a cool, calm day. After everyone left Takato's family bakery, they headed to the beach, where Karu just stood by and tinkered with his D-Tector. They all tried to coax him into coming into the water with them, but he said he wasn't really a swimmer.
After a long and leisurely day, the tamers and Karu all went home. Seeing as how Karu still didn't actually have a home to go to, he was still staying at Rika's house. No one seemed to mind. In fact, most of them seemed to enjoy the fact that he was there. He was pleasant company. The only thing that they found that was odd about him was he didn't really seem too interested in getting to know anyone. He would talk to them while he was there, but he never really seemed to care about what they were saying.
That night, before he went to bed, Rika asked him about his digivice and about why it was so much different from hers. He simply replied "It's different because it is the kind the digidestined in the other dimension use." She figured that that was a good enough answer and she just let it drop at that. She then went to bed. He, too, went to bed and had another strange visit from that digimon.
Karu. Karu, can you hear me?
What do you want this time?
You must open yourself up to these people. One day you will need them not only as allies, but also as friends. There is no power greater than friendship.
Why am I even here? I think that they could take care of this on their own. It seems pointless for me to help where I'm not needed.
You are the chosen one, Karu. The fate of the world rests in your hands.
I don't belong here. I don't even know these people.
In time you will. You are the chosen one. You will be the one who will save all the worlds.
All? Don't you mean both?
There are many worlds out there that you do not know about. Karu, you will be the one to save this, and countless other worlds.
How can I do that? I have two champion level spirits while the tamers can become mega level digimon whenever they want to.
Your abilities will develop over time. For now, you must do all that you can to protect them for they will do the same for you.
One question: Who are you?
You shall find out when the time is right. Farewell, Karu. You have the power to save worlds. Use it, and there is nothing that can stop you.
Karu awoke to a bright light outside the window. He looked at a nearby clock, which read 4:30 AM. What could be going on this late he thought. Something was definitely happening, and he knew that he would need to help if it was a new ADR clone.
He got ready and rushed out the door toward the light. When he got there, he saw a silhouette of a digimon, but he couldn't make out the actual digimon. In any case, he got ready for the worst and prepared to spirit evolve. Then, the digimon came out of its shadow and Karu could see it clearly. He couldn't believe who he saw.
"It can't be. You're me!" He looked at the digimon that had appeared. It was an exact copy of Exveemon!
"I'm not you. I'm so much more. You cannot defeat the D-Reaper. The D-Reaper has surpassed even the power of the digimon Sovereign. Prepare to be deleted."
"Never! Execute! Spirit Evolution! Exveemon!"
"If you think you can beat me with your Exveemon spirit, then you truly are a fool."
"We'll see about that! Vee Laser!"
The clone Exveemon took the attack head on. When the smoke cleared, there stood the clone Exveemon, unscathed.
"Is that the best you've got? The D-Reaper will reign supreme over all worlds. There is nothing that can stand in its way now! Vee Punch!"
The attack sent Exveemon hurdling into a nearby building. Before he even had a chance to recover he heard a bellow of "Vee Laser!" Which sent him back even farther. Then, before he knew it, he heard shouts of "Foxtail Inferno", "Gargo Barrage" and "Pyro Blaster!"
"Pathetic digimon. You are no match for me! Prepare to die!" And with that, the clone Exveemon shot several vee lasers at the digimon, including the real Exveemon. The digimon all reverted to their rookie forms, while Karu reverted to a human again.
"Prepare to die! Vee laser!" With that the clone Exveemon shot a vee laser at the tamers, which sent them crashing into a nearby building. Luckily the attack missed. It was the shockwave that caused them to fly into the building. This sent Karu over the edge.
"I haven't been here too long, but I have come to know these people and digimon as my friends. One thing I will not stand for is seeing my friends getting hurt when I know I can do something about it. I know I can defeat you, and I'm not going to allow this to go on any longer! Prepare to be deleted!" And with those words, Karu started to glow as a fractal code cluster appeared around his hand. "Execute! Fusion Evolution! Paildramon!"
"Oh, how nice. Another digimon form. Pick any form you'd like. There is no way that you can defeat me. You will be deleted in the name of the D-Reaper!"
"I swear to you right now that if I die, I'm taking you with me!" And with that, Karu charged into battle. Let's hope he's strong enough to defeat this new threat.
I know you all hate me for leaving the story here for now. I promise the next chapters will come quickly, and I guarantee a spin off of this story in another category. The spin off will include Karu and one of the tamers, but not his/her digimon. I'm letting people guess at all these things and ask any questions about the story. If you have a guess or want to ask a question, either E-Mail me directly or post your guess/question in your review. Thanks for reading Digimon: Second Coming to this point and look forward to the next chapter soon. Oh, and a hint as to the spin off: Read the beginning carefully. It has some hints as to what the spin off will be. There is one that will give it away if you know what you're looking for.
