Ho, hi people. I am so sorry this took half of forever. I'm kind of in trouble and have been banned from the computer from a little while, but my parents forgot about the laptop. Anyway, as usual with me, let's answer reviews.
Bluesakuramon: I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for letting Kayla use the name BlueSakuramon!
Xtremequeen666: Thanks!
Aerol SomtaawUm, did you read Seraphimon's Tale or something? Tommy isn't the cousin from the prologe. That was Takuya. Takky's a cousin on Tim and Kayla's mom's side and Tommy is on their dad's side.
And here we go! I do not own Digimon, Kayla or BlueSakuramon. Kayla and BlueSakuramon were made up by my friend Kayla. The name BlueSakuramon is owned by Bluesakuramon. I own Tim and his spirits, which come in next chapter. Ja!
Chapter 1: Blue Blossoms of Hope
Tim opened his eyes and looked at the sky. The stars seemed to twinkle at him, like they were happy that he was awake.
He stood up. At the fire, Kayla glanced at him, then looked at her watch. "You did it again," She said, shaking her head and making her long brown hair fly out, red highlights flashing in the moonlight. "I don't know how you do it."
Tim grinned. He prided himself in his ability to fall asleep anytime, anywhere in any condition, and wake up whenever he wanted. He could also tell himself to sleep so light that the wind in the grass could wake him or so heavy that an earthquake could not.
"Quiet night?" he asked, stretching.
"Better than our days." Kayla replied.
Ever since they had found their cousin Takuya Kanbara, the twins have had strange adventures. Along with Takuya and three other kids, Izumi "Zoe" Orimoto, Junpei "JP" Shibayama, and their other cousin Tomoki "Tommy" Himi, they had taken a train to the Digital World, a world of data inhabited by Digital Monsters, or Digimon.
The strangest parts of their adventures were when all the others had become Digimon themselves. When they first arrived in the Digital World, they had all received devices called D-Tectors from their cell phones, all different colors: Takuya's had a red with a black grip, Zoe had a lavender one with a pink grip, JP had a blue one with a yellow grip, Tommy had a pale blue with a green grip, Tim had a black one with a silver grip and Kayla had a white one with a light blue grip.
When Cerberumon attacked them, Takuya's D-Tector had downloaded the Spirit of Fire and he had become Agunimon, Warrior of Fire.
The same thing happened when JP and Tommy were attacked by the ooze-monster Raremon. Another boy, Koji Minamoto, became Lobomon, Warrior of Light. With the Spirit of Light and his white-and blue D-Tector, Koji went on his own after that, though it was obvious that Kayla didn't want him to go.
Their first night in the Digital World had them being attacked by the flame Digimon Candlemon, Tommy had received the Spirit of Ice and turned the Candlemon into Digi-cicles as Kumamon.
Though Takuya, Tommy and Tim weren't there for Woodmon's attack on a Floramon/Mushroomon village the next day, Zoe, JP and Kayla were. They witnessed Zoe receiving the Spirit of Wind and becoming Kazemon, though the Spirit would have been taken if Lobomon hadn't intervened.
Later, with Agunimon and Kumamon leading a Kokuwamon rebellion at the Wind Factory Inc. and Kazemon, along with Tim and Kayla's martial arts skills, providing a distraction at the gate, JP had found the Spirit of Thunder; becoming Beetlemon had zapping Snimon to Kingdom Come.
Their second night had been quiet, however. Their only problem was that the food the Candlemon, Floramon and Mushroomon had given them was out.
Tim shook his head, his brown bangs falling into his cyan eyes. He glanced at his sister, then looked longingly into the forest they had camped next to.
"Don't even think about it, nii-chan." Kayla said. "The sun isn't up, the others aren't up and that's an unknown forest."
"Fine." Tim said, glaring at his twin. "I'll run around the perimeter."
While her brother went for his usual ten-mile run, Kayla looked at her sleeping companions. Her cousins were sleeping next to each other. She found it sweet that Tommy looked up to Takuya, Tim and herself as older siblings, though he spent most of his time with the boys. JP leaned against a tree, muttering in his sleep. Kayla had no doubt that the subject of the dream was Zoe. The girl in question had somehow managed to snuggle up to Takuya and was now resting her head against his arm. Their Digimon companions, their guide Bokomon and the naïve Neemon, sat back-to-back next to JP.
"Tim, I'm going to catch some more z's." Kayla said. At a wave from her brother, she leaned against a tree and fell asleep to the rhythmic thumps of Tim's feet against the ground.
When the others had woken up, Tim had finished his run and was stoking the fire.
"About time." He said. "If we're going to get food, we need to leave. We've got to start a rationing system." He added, glaring at JP.
"What?"
They started walking and, an hour later; they arrived in a Digimon Village, where Zoe got into a fight with a shop owner.
"I'm telling you, I've got money to pay for this!" the girl yelled.
"I don't take that currency." Replied the Vegimon shop owner. "Get out before I make you."
Growling, Zoe stomped out to the others.
"So we don't have money." Bokomon said. "That's not good."
"But we do!" Zoe said, pulling out her purse and showing the white Digimon the coins. Bokomon pulled some out and gazed at them.
"Hm." He muttered. "No wonder Vegimon wouldn't take them. Oh well." With that, he tossed the coins and watched Zoe scramble around franticly trying to pick up the coins with amusment on his face.
"Great." Tim grumbled. "Now what?"
"Well…" Takuya started, but Neemon beat him to it. "How about there?"
They looked over to where the little Digimon was pointing. There was a sign over a door saying "Heroes wanted. Free food."
Jaws became unhinged and hit the ground. Seven pairs of eyes looked at Neemon in astonishment.
"Did the impossible just happen?" Kayla finally asked. "Did Neemon actually point out a smart thing?"
"I don't know." Answered the yellow-and-red Digimon. "Did I?"
Six humans and one white Digimon facefaulted. Neemon looked at them like nothing happened.
Takuya got up. "Come on, guys! They need heroes, and we're Legendary Warriors!"
"Speak for yourself." Muttered Tim and Kayla.
"Okay, most of us are Legendary Warriors." Takuya amended. "So let's go! What's the worst that could happen?"
"Oh, I don't know." Tim muttered as the others ran ahead. "One of us could fall of a cliff."
"Don't even joke." Kayla said. "Come on, they're leaving us."
Takuya and the others were at the door by the time Kayla and Tim caught up. Inside were slimy green creatures with large shells. When Takuya said "Uh…we're heroes?" their eyes went wide and joyful.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?"
"Hey, would I ever steer you wrong?"
"How would I know, we hardly know you."
"Sh! Worm's coming!"
As the Trailmon known as Worm passed, a cable shot out of the bushes and attached to his caboose. A cart was pulled onto the tracks and started forward, causing the six kids and five Digimon inside it to give a startled yell.
"I knew this was a bad idea!" JP yelled.
"What are you talking about?" asked a Numemon. "We're alive aren't we?"
A couple hours passed like this until a Numemon pointed at some houses on the side of a cliff. Literally. "There's our destination!"
"You've got to be kidding me." Takuya moaned at the sight of the sideway houses.
"No." Tim said, pointing at the base of the cliff. "You've got to be kidding me!"
At the base, the track went into a double loop-the-loop and went up the cliff.
Naturally, everyone but the Numemon panicked. "We're gonna die, we're gonna die, we're gonna…" JP said continuously. Zoe was whispering in Italian while Kayla and Tim swore in German. Tommy clung tight to the nearest person, which happened to be Takuya. Bokomon and Neemon clung tight to each other, tears pouring at their eyes at a rapid rate.
They blew through the loop-the-loop and came out fine, although a few had to prod their hearts to start them again (everyone but the Numemon and the twins.) It was running up the cliff where they had trouble.
About halfway up, the cable connecting them to Worm came loose and they fell backward. Tim leapt from the cart and grabbed the cable. He tossed it at one of the houses and it stuck. Grabbing the cable, he slid back down to the others hanging on the cart. The Numemon were attached to the cliff, watching with amused grins.
"Whatever you humans do, don't let go." Said one. "It's a long way down."
Tim looked down and saw that the ground was in fact about fifty feet from the base of the cliff. The real bottom of the cliff was too far to see.
Tim looked at the Numemon. "How do expect them to reach your houses? Kayla and I can scale the rope, but the others can't."
"We'll be right back." And they crawled to the village.
A couple minutes later, a rope ladder rolled down to them. "Climb up!" called the Numemon.
Tim and Kayla helped Takuya onto the ladder and put Tommy on after him. Bokomon and Neemon followed him and Kayla followed them as Tim helped Zoe and JP stand on the cart before following his twin. JP turned to Zoe, chuckling nervously.
"You know what they say." He said, gesturing to the ladder. "Ladies first."
Zoe went red, but not from embarrassment. "I'm wearing a skirt!" She shouted at him. "Sicko!"
SMACK!
After Tim, JP climbed with a red handprint on his cheek, Zoe behind him.
At that moment, right before he reached the house they were invited to, Tommy slipped. He fell backwards and went past Kayla, who tried to catch him, but missed.
Tim, however, did catch him, but he had to wrap his arm around the ladder. The force of Tommy's fall dropped them farther than expected and yanked Tim's arm up hard.
A crack echoed through the air. Tim bit his lip to keep his cry of pain in. Kayla looked down in horror as Tim realized that his arm was slipping.
Knowing he had seconds, Tim tossed Tommy to Kayla, yelling. "Catch!"
Kayla caught the eight-year-old just as Tim's arm let go of the ladder, causing him to fall before he could get a good grip with his good hand.
"Tim!" Kayla shouted as her twin brother got farther away. "Ni-san! No! Ni-san!"
Tim fell beyond sight and beyond all help. Kayla's heart shattered in two. Her twin brother…the twin brother that was there for her when she was shot. The older brother who would beat up the kids that hit her. And now he was gone.
Keeping an arm wrapped around Tommy, she continued up, but she could only see Tim, falling further and further. She barely registered the fact that two people were helping her in, and that one of them was not in her group, but a boy dressed in dark colors with a blue bandana pulling back his dark hair and a blue-and-white D-Tector on his belt: Koji Minamoto.
Once all the kids were up, Tommy threw himself at Kayla, sobbing into her chest. Kayla wrapped her arms around the little boy and cried into his shoulder. She felt Takuya wrap his arms around her and hold her close, and felt him put his chin on her head. She just hugged Tommy tighter and cried harder.
Zoe, JP, Koji, Bokomon, Neemon and the Numemon all watched. Zoe removed her lavender beanie and Koji took off his bandana. Silence filled the air, broken only by the three in the corner.
It was only when Kayla and Tommy had cried themselves to sleep that Takuya came over to the others. "So, what were we called here for?"
"Beats me." Koji growled. "I just came to help."
"We have asked you to come because an evil Digimon is terrorizing us," said the lead Numemon. "It wants us to give it the Fractal Code of the mountain and we refused, mostly because we don't know where the core is. The horrible creature then kidnapped all our females."
"I see." JP said.
"Now, I remember you wanted food." Said the Numemon leader. "If you're ready…"
Takuya waved the offer off. "I don't really feel like food right now." He said, sitting next to Kayla and Tommy.
A couple hours later, they woke up and joined the others for a meal (which was cabbage that tastes like meat, as I'm sure you guessed), though their hearts weren't in it.
Avoiding the subject of Tim, the others informed Tommy and Kayla of their mission.
"It ought to be easy enough for Legendary Warriors." Takuya concluded.
At his words, the Numemon all went wide-eyed and jumped away. "You're Legendary Warriors?" the Numemon leader asked.
"Yeah." Takuya said, turning to them. "Well, everybody except Kayla and T—, err, but she's still good at martial arts."
The Numemon conferenced for a couple seconds before turning to the kids. "Well, enjoy you're meal." Said the lead Numemon. "We'll just leave you alone. If you get cold, blankets are in the corner. Good evening!"
With that, they left. The others shrugged and kept eating.
Kayla was constantly moving her arm. She hadn't noticed it before, but it had been tingling ever since Tim fell. In fact, now that she thought of it, about ever since he broke his arm trying to catch Tommy.
Her eyes snapped open. Of course! What was it that Tim had said in the hospital?
Flashback"Kayla, I felt you get hurt."
"Huh?"
"When that guy shot you, I felt you get hurt."
End Flashback
If she could still feel the broken bone, then Tim was still alive! Smiling to herself, she lie down on the wall and fell asleep. The last thing she was aware of was Tommy lying down next to her.
When everyone woke up, they found themselves hanging on the cliff by ropes tied to their hands. Above them, the Numemon stood with scythes, ready to cut the ropes.
"Hey, what's the big idea?" Takuya yelled.
"Thought you could trick us, did you?" said the Numemon leader. "Nice try."
"What are you talking about?" Kayla yelled.
"Still trying to deceive us, are you?" called another Numemon. "Don't bother, it won't work."
"Your fellow Legendary Warrior will be here soon." Said another.
At that moment, a hole appeared next to Koji. A brown dwarf with an extremely big nose appeared from the hole. What got Bokomon was that it had the Symbol of Earth on its belt.
"Grumblemon!" yelled the Numemon leader. "Stop this or we will send your fellow Legendary Warriors plummeting like the other boy!"
"They Legendary Warriors?" Grumblemon asked, looking at the kids. "They no look like Legendary Warriors, they look like humans."
This confused the Numemon until the leader shouted, "He's trying to get us to release them! He'll go berserk if we cut the ropes! Watch!" With that, he threw his scythe at Koji's ropes, cutting through it and freeing his hands.
As he fell, he grabbed his D-Tector.
An image of the Spirit of Light appeared on the screen. Koji thrust out his hand and watched as Fractal Code formed a ring around his fingers. He brought up his D-Tector and scanned the Code, then put both hands over his head. "Execute! Spirit Evolution!" Armor formed around the boy and compressed against him. He landed on a ledge, slashed his lightsabers and shot a laser from his arm blaster, yelling "Lobomon!"
Lobomon leapt up the cliff, pointing his blaster at Grumblemon. "Howling Laser!"
A blue-white laser shot a Grumblemon, who dug back underground, avoiding the blast.
Meanwhile, the Numemon, seeing what Lobomon had done, were pulling the other kids up and untying them. "We are so sorry for the misunderstanding."
"That's okay." Takuya said as he pulled out his D-Tector. "Let's help Lobomon!"
The others nodded and pulled out their D-Tectors.
The images of the Spirits of Fire, Ice, Wind and Thunder appeared on the D-Tector screens of Takuya, Tommy, Zoe and JP. Takuya and Tommy stretched their arms out as Zoe and JP thrust theirs out. Fractal Code formed a ring around their fingers. Takuya swung his arms around while Tommy connected his Fractal Code and D-Tector in front of him. Zoe yanked her hand back and did a side scan while JP spun slowly, his hands meeting in above him. "Execute! Spirit Evolution!" Armor formed around the four kids and compressed against him.
Takuya was covered with red-and-white samurai armor, minus the katana. His hair was now long, blonde and wild.
Tommy was a bear made of snow. He had a green helmet, green body armor and orange boots with retractable skis and a quad-launch bazooka on his back.
Zoe had pink, bare-midriff style body armor and butterfly wings. Her hair was down to her knees and had turned violet. She also had a visor over her eyes.
JP was covered head to toe in blue insectoid armor, complete with horn and foldable wings.
Takuya punched the air twice. "Agunimon!"
Tommy jumped, landed, turned into slush, then turned back into a snow bear with a peace sign and a cheesy smile. "Kumamon!"
Zoe executed a spin kick, then threw a lock of hair out of her face and put a hand on her hip. "Kazemon!"
JP slammed his fists together, causing lightning bolts to fly from his hands. "Beetlemon!"
"Kazemon, take Kumamon and go see if you can find the Numemon females." Agunimon said.
"Right!"
"Kayla, stay here!" Agunimon continued. "Beetlemon, let's help Lobomon!"
Kazemon grabbed Kumamon and took to the sky. Agunimon and Beetlemon headed for the battle.
Lobomon was aiming another Howling Laser at Grumblemon when Agunimon leapt in front of him, punching out and sending fist sized fireballs at the dwarf. "Pyro Punch!"
"Are you trying to get shot?!" Lobomon yelled, powering down his laser.
Grumblemon then appeared in a different location, right in front of Beetlemon.
"Thunder Fists!" Fists crackling with electricity, Beetlemon swung them toward the dwarf, but it dug back underground again. "Blast it!"
Meanwhile, Kazemon and Kumamon had found the females.
"Are you girls alright?" Kazemon asked as she put Kumamon down.
"We're fine." Said a Numemon. "What's going on down there?"
"Our friends are battling Grumblemon." Kumamon said. "We're here to help you."
"Stand back!" Kazemon ordered. She held up her hands and pink wind flowed from her fingers. "Hurricane Wave!"
The wind sliced through the cages hold in the Numemon, freeing them.
Kayla was watching the battle with the Numemon males.
'I don't believe this!' she thought. 'He's beating them! Where's Kazemon and Kumamon? What if Grumblemon wins? I'll never see Tim again.'
Then she mentally slapped herself. 'What are you thinking, Kayla! As long as you're alive and Tim's alive, there's hope.'
At that moment, a flash of light appeared in front of her. When she opened her eyes, a small statue floated in front of her. It looked like a human in blue body armor hugging it's knees and was covered by transparent bat wings. A shield and two swords were on it's back.
Wasting no time, Kayla pulled out her D-Tector and downloaded the Spirit into it.
Bokomon stared at her. "That symbol on the shield was the symbol of Hope. But is there a Spirit of Hope?"
Not bothering to answer, Kayla held her D-Tector close.
The image of the Spirit of Hope appeared on the D-Tector. Kayla crossed her hands in front of her, looking left as Fractal Code formed a ring around her right hand. She swept her hands forward and scanned the ring with her D-Tector. "Execute! Spirit Evolution!" Armor compressed against her. When finished, she was dressed in body armor similar to Kazemon's, except blue. Her hair, long as Kazemon's, was blonde and was pulled back by a white bandana with blue sakura flowers on it. She had a grey blaster on her left arm and a grey bracelet similar to it on her right. Transparent bat wings came from her back, clear as glass. A large shield with two swords going through it rested on her back. On the shield were the symbols of the ten Legendary Warriors in a circle, with two other symbols in the middle, one being the symbol of Hope. She slashed a sword and then blew a kiss. "BlueSakuramon!"
Beetlemon had just gotten an idea and immediately put it into action, not seeing Kayla's transformation. What he did see was Grumblemon disappear and reappear under a mudbank.
"Lightning Blitz!" He slammed his fists together and sent lightning at the mudbank.
"Ha-ha!" Grumblemon laughed. "You miss!"
"Really?" Beetlemon asked. "Look up!"
Grumblemon looked up in time to be swept away by the small mudslide the Beetlemon started.
At that moment, BlueSakuramon showed up. "Oh, did I miss the party?"
"Kayla?!" came startled shouts from Beetlemon and Agunimon.
BlueSakuramon grinned. "Yup. Where'd Grumblemon go?"
"I don't know." Lobomon said, staring at her. "Beetlemon sent him down the cliff."
"Oh, really?" Grumblemon erupted from the earth, aiming at BlueSakuramon with his hammers. "Seismic Sledge!"
"Sakura Shield!" BlueSakuramon grabbed her shield and held it in front of her, stretching it to include Lobomon in it's protection.
The hammers slammed into the shield. BlueSakuramon shoved with the shield and aimed her blaster at the earth warrior. "Hopeful Blossom!" A white ray shot from the blaster and hit Grumblemon with a shower of cherry blossoms.
Grumblemon recovered and dove back into the cliff. At that moment, Kazemon and Kumamon showed up.
"We found them!" Kazemon said. "They were caged in a cave and—hey! Who are you?" she added, seeing BlueSakuramon.
Kumamon, however, knew exactly who she was. "Kayla!"
BlueSakuramon grinned at him. "BlueSakuramon in this form."
At that moment, Grumblemon appeared at the top of the cliff. "You think you beat me." He said. "But you no beat me when me have this!"
He held up a small statue looking like a swamp monster. "Execute! Beast Spirit Evolution!" Fractal Code formed a cocoon around him and his features shifted to those of the statue. "Gigasmon!"
The monster started spinning quickly until it was a blur. It charged, yelling "Quagmire Twister!"
Agunimon, Lobomon and Kumamon leapt out of the way while Kazemon, Beetlemon and BlueSakuramon spread their wings and took to the air. Gigasmon blew past, but then went toward the ground-based Legendary Warriors.
"No!" Kazemon yelled. "Hurricane Wave!"
"Hopeful Blossom!"
The two attacks hit Gigasmon in a flurry of wind and cherry blossoms, but the monster kept going.
"Pyro Punch!"
"Howling Laser!"
"Blizzard Blaster!"
The three attacks hit the spinning monster, but it broke through and still attacked them. Before he got there, however, BlueSakuramon beat him.
"Sakura Shield!" The Shield of the Legendary Warriors stretched until it was the size of Gigasmon. The swamp monster slammed into the shield and rebounded, stunned.
"Sakura Sword!" Pulling one of her swords from it's sheath, she slashed at Gigasmon, who tried to dodge. She slashed again and again, driving the monster to the cliff wall. Once there, she pulled back the sword.
"Sakura Sword!"
She stabbed at Gigasmon's head, but he dodged. The sword sank deep into the mountain—and the mountain turned into Fractal Code!
"Oh, no!" Bokomon gasped. "BlueSakuramon accidentally stabbed the mountain's Fractal Code Core! Gigasmon can steal the Fractal Code from anywhere now!"
"Is that a good thing?"
"No, you dolt, it isn't!"
Gigasmon knew he had a few seconds and he used them while BlueSakuramon was too surprised to move. "Quagmire Twister!"
BlueSakuramon cried out in surprise as she was knocked into Lobomon, sending them crashing on the ground.
Gigasmon was covered in Fractal Code again, shouting "Slide Evolution!" as he shifted into his first form. "Grumblemon!"
"Now me hungry!" the dwarf shouted. "Me gonna feat on Fractal Code! Ha!"
With that, he opened his mouth, and the Fractal Code flew into it. The mountains began to fade as strong winds began to blow. Kazemon and Beetlemon landed to prevent being blown away.
But the Fractal Code at their feet was eventually absorbed into Grumblemon's mouth and they began to fall. The wind forced wings to open, and Kazemon, Beetlemon and BlueSakuramon were blown away. Agunimon, Lobomon and Kumamon kept falling until Kumamon got an idea. "Frozen Tundra!"
His body turned into several icicles and latched to the nearest wall. Agunimon and Lobomon grabbed onto him and held on tight. It lasted until the wall was eaten by Grumblemon. They fell yelling until no one could see them anymore.
