Previously on Sprouts of Darkness: Hikari here. I; my kid and husband return to the states. Next day was normal and our first day of work, after the summer vacation. Little Moon went to school; I went to my work and Young Owl went to his. A coughing fit sent me first to the hospital then Young Owl sent me home, since I had the day off. Young Owl went to the Digi-World and that's all I know.
As far as I know, he's in deep trouble with my older brother. On with the conclusion.
"So... The mighty Lord Yagami and his Agumon themselves. I'd have better targets than I thought." A voice stated.
Taichi; Young Owl, carrying Survivomon in his arms and Agumon all turned around to face Forcemon and some of his minions.
"Forcemon..." Agumon growled.
"This isn't good." Taichi whispered.
"Tai..." Agumon whispered.
Taichi nodded, "I know Agubud. In the right moment." He whispered.
With Forcemon, seven Callismon came out of the surrounding forest, forming a half circle in front of Taichi; Young Owl; Agumon; Gennai and little Survivomon, blocking their escape. Gennai carefully approached Taichi; Agumon and Young Owl.
"Keep them distracted for a moment. Delete one. We'll have more trouble than they, or we, can handle." Gennai whispered.
Taichi nodded, "Got ya." "Do it Agumon!"
He got out his Digivice, but it was different. Young Owl glanced at it and was confused. Taichi's Digivice had orange handles with an orange transparent screen, the light crest of courage was shining in the screen, other than that, and it was like any other first generation digivice. Agumon grinned, stepping before.
"Bring it on!" He cheered.
"AGUMON WARP DIGIVOLVE IN..."
An orange pillar burst into the sky. Like wild fire, it clawed at Agumon. He went through Greymon and Metal Greymon, settling on his third and last form. His lower leg armor formed; his arm guards were next; his eyes flashed green, and last but not least, his back shield, with a large duplicate of the crest of courage outlined on it, flashed into appearance.
"... WAR GREYMON!"
The orange pillar faded away, showing War Greymon in Agumon's place. With a war cry, War Greymon charged at the seven Callismon. Callismon returned the charge. Forcemon charged at Young Owl. War Greymon engaged with an arm war against one of the Callismon. Another Callismon took to War Greymon's side and aimed at him.
"Brutal Slice!" Forcemon yelled, attacking.
Young Owl gasped, but Survivomon got in the attack's way, and took the blow. A dark green pillar of light launched into the air.
"SURVIVOMON CREVOLVE!"
"EMERALDMON!"
The dark green pillar faded away. Young Owl blinked, confused. Gennai explained.
"Otazoidmon crevolves -crevolution is more powerful than digivolution, and is faster-, when he is hit or when his sailor -DigiDestined-, is hurt, or harmed. He can crevolve even when one of his friends from copedam -Digimon Partner- is in trouble." Gennai explained.
Young Owl nodded, understanding.
Emeraldmon is Otazoidmon in a miniature form. He doesn't have his cape as his shirt and pants are shorter and smaller so they can fit him. He doesn't have a belt but he still has the gloves on along with the divine crest of myths on the upper right of his shirt. His eyes are still green as his hair is still brown, short and smooth. He is a caterpillar level of the Myths Soul-Warriors. His attack is Emerald Bubbles.
Forcemon blinked, turning to Emeraldmon. His grip on his sword tightened. Emeraldmon wasn't aware of Forcemon, but was aware of the trouble that War Greymon was in.
"Rodeo Bullet!" Callismon yelled.
War Greymon wasn't aware of the attack heading towards him. Emeraldmon rushed to intercept it, with Forcemon following close behind. Emeraldmon got in the bullet's way, just before reaching War Greymon. Emeraldmon cried in agony, the same dark green pillar launched into the sky. Forcemon was right behind, and he got his sword and hand in the pillar: it quickly burned, the sword melted to liquid. Forcemon cried in agony, hastily retrieving his hand.
He was too late to save his suffered sword. War Greymon became aware of the danger of facing seven Callismon at once, and decided to finish the Callismon he was dealing with. He rammed his horn into Callismon's head, stunning him for a moment, a moment was all that War Greymon needed. He jumped back.
"Terra Force!" He yelled.
"EMERALDMON CREVOLVE!"
"OTAZOIDMON!"
He is Renamon's height as he has green eyes with short, smooth brown hair that is slightly spiked. He is human in figure. A dark green coat is over him as a white shirt and white pants along with green shoes is below it. He wears green mountain gloves. A green belt is around his waist as the divine crest of myths is in dark green on his shirt to the upper right, close to the right shoulder. His attacks are Emerald Lightning and Emerald Bolt. He can fly. He's an expert in the subjects of medical and biology. He stays an expert in the higher forms, whether armor or normal, or any other kind.
The attack went through Callismon, deleting him instantly. The blast sent Otazoidmon flying into Callismon's chest, upside down. He moaned, slipping down to the ground, on his back.
"Otazoidmon!" Young Owl yelled.
"Adoramon? Are you sure of it?" Jagamon asked.
Adoramon nodded, taking her waitress apron off.
"That's right, I'm through here. I quit." She decided.
"But you told me about Young Owl; he might come back with his DigiDestined friends." Jagamon stated.
"Not before I find them first." Adoramon shook her head.
She left Anca Restaurant, heading towards the train station. She approached an Ancient Irismon.
"Um, excuse me?" Adoramon asked.
Ancient Irismon looked at her, and smiled.
"Where did Lord Yagami and his Agumon head to?" Adoramon asked.
"To Starmoon Adoramon." Ancient Irismon replied.
"To Starmoon? Thanx." Adoramon smiled.
"No problem." Ancient Irismon nodded.
Adoramon flapped her wings, and flew into the sky. She avoided hitting any trees; branches or leaves that were in her way. Once reaching open sky, she directed her mind into which direction was which, and flew towards Starmoon.
'Starmoon? Probably only there to purchase some stuff and rest for awhile. Lord Yagami would probably have headed off to Wilkiwatch's home.' Adoramon thought.
"Young Owl, get Otazoidmon. Tai and War Greymon, head into the house, and quick; we'll have some company soon." Gennai stated.
Forcemon blinked, 'Company?'
War Greymon quickly withdrew, and with Taichi and Gennai, rushed into Gennai's underwater home. Young Owl hastily got Otazoidmon, carrying him between his arms, like a cradled baby, and rushed into Gennai's underwater home. Otazoidmon was knocked unconscious. Once in, Gennai had the lake cover up.
Forcemon's eyes widened and shaking was felt. Several Cannondramon appeared, with a Dinohumon as the leader. Cannondramon all engaged immediately with Callismon. Dinohumon took his double axed weapon out and jumped at Forcemon. Forcemon shrieked, leaping away from Dinohumon's slash.
'Company! This is the company! Shit! We're in deep trouble if I don't call for withdrawal. I might consider losing my entire Callismon Legion.' Forcemon thought.
His hand still burned and he had his healthy hand hold his injured one. Dinohumon glared at Forcemon, his weapon dug into the ground by the force of his attack.
"Back with one of your Hatred Legion? Imperial Legion would handle it. You're mine! You won't escape from me this time Forcemon!" Dinohumon yelled.
With a warcry, Dinohumon ripped his weapon out of the ground, and charged Forcemon, faster than before. Forcemon's eyes widened, and before he knew it, he was sent flying backwards, his chest armor slashed. Dinohumon was on hot pursuit once again.
"Grenade Storm!" Cannondramon yelled.
Callismon yelled in agony, each grenade blasting into him, vaporizing a little. Eventually he was completely vaporized, and Cannondramon absorbed his digi-core, with the digi-core of the one War Greymon deleted. Five Callismon were left, avoiding and withdrawing from Cannondramon's offensive. They glanced at Forcemon and saw him busy. They knew that Forcemon won't let them be slaughtered just like that, and so they made his decision.
"Deep Forest!" The entire Callismon Legion yelled.
Moisture; fog; darkness and dampness all appeared in the battleground, visibility was minimal. In their environment, Callismon knew how to move around. Two Callismon retrieved Forcemon, and followed the rest, back into the shelter of the forest. Once they were gone and out of sight, the battleground cleared up, and Imperial Legion with Dinohumon looked around, confused. Dinohumon put his weapon back behind his back.
"A pack of Neo Garurumon would be coming through here shortly, the scent of dead data luring them. Imperial Legion fall back!" Dinohumon ordered.
Imperial Legion quickly withdrew back into the forest, leaving the battlefield. A few moments later, and a pack of Neo Garurumon sniffed into the area.
Young Owl sighed. They all watched the battle occur on the surface, from a camera on one of the trees, broadcasting it onto a holographic screen.
"That was the company I was talking about. Forcemon won't be returning anytime soon." Gennai nodded.
Takeru and Patamon came into the room.
"Great to see you again Sinzo." Takeru greeted.
"Takeru! What the heck are you doing here?" Taichi asked, shaking hands with him.
Patamon was on his common, classical spot: Takeru's head. Young Owl shook hands with Takeru. Patamon greeted Agumon, with his ear high-five Agumon's paw. Otazoidmon was unconscious, lying down on one of the mattresses. War Greymon devolved back to Agumon once Young Owl and Otazoidmon were safe in the underwater home. Gennai smiled.
"I hope that battle taught you all something." He declared.
"Yeah..." Taichi replied, sitting down on a mattress. "Never fight in that situation..."
"Or to train fighting in that situation." Takeru added.
"You saw it?" Agumon asked.
"We both did." Patamon smiled.
Young Owl glanced at Otazoidmon and gasped. The others turned their attention to Young Owl first, and then diverted it to Otazoidmon. Gennai rushed over. Otazoidmon was blurring gently. Young Owl stood up, and walked over to his copedam.
"What's wrong with him?" Young Owl asked.
Gennai gritted his teeth.
"He's turning neo." He replied.
"What?!" Agumon yelled, walking over.
"If he turns neo here then my whole house would turn evil! Not to mention this entire region! I'm terribly sorry, but you all must leave, and take Otazoidmon with you. Hurry and try to get him to the Purified Altar." Gennai urged.
Young Owl blinked, hesitating. He carried the blurring Otazoidmon, and was about to leave...
"We're going with you. Do you know where it is?" Patamon asked.
Young Owl shook his head.
"You'll need escort and guides then." Agumon decided.
"Hurry..." Gennai urged.
He opened up the lake, and Taichi; Takeru; Young Owl, carrying the blurring Otazoidmon; Agumon and Patamon all rushed out, rushing into the forest. Gennai's eyes widened, at the sight of the same pack of Neo Garurumon, following them.
"Take care sailor." Gennai whispered.
Young Owl looked back, and gasped upon seeing a pack of Garurumon X, rushing towards them. He turned his head back ahead.
"I don't like to say this now, but..." Young Owl started, jumped over a ground root, "... we're being followed."
Taichi and Takeru both looked back, and saw the Garurumon X pack.
"We'll hold them back." Takeru stated.
"I'm all for it." Patamon agreed.
"Continue on going, I'll hold them back." Young Owl decided.
"But..." Taichi started.
"No buts; I've made my choice." Young Owl explained.
"When sis finds out that you were killed: it'll be my head." Taichi gulped.
Young Owl laughed, but turned serious just as quick.
"Seriously, I'll be fine. You two better have your copedam digivolve. Gennai told me that if I was in danger; harmed or injured, it would make Otazoidmon crevolve... I'll explain later." Young Owl explained. "If I live." He whispered.
Takeru sighed, "O.K. You beat us. Ready Patamon?"
"Always." Patamon replied.
"Digi-Armor Energize!"
"PATAMON ARMOR DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... PEGASUSMON! Flying Hope."
Takeru quickly hopped onto Pegasusmon. He extended his arm to Taichi.
"Climb on." Takeru urged.
"Sure thing." Taichi nodded.
He took Takeru's hand, and Takeru pulled, putting Taichi on Pegasusmon, behind Takeru.
"Do it Agumon!" Taichi urged.
"AGUMON WARP DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... WAR GREYMON!"
With final glances at one another, Pegasusmon and War Greymon both took to the sky, zooming away, out of sight. Young Owl sighed, stopping, and turned around. He faced the Garurumon X pack, holding the blurring Otazoidmon between his arms. The pack growled, coming ever close. Adoramon was flying over when she saw the pillars and Pegasusmon's with War Greymon's departure. She saw Young Owl stop to face the Garurumon X trouble.
"Sinzo..." She whispered.
She stopped in midair, suddenly zooming downwards towards Young Owl.
"Believer's Cry!" She yelled, smashing her left fist hand into the ground, in between Young Owl and the Garurumon X pack.
The attack sent out a slight tremor, scaring the Garurumon X pack away. Adoramon stood up, and turned around to face Young Owl.
"Adoramon? Thanx..." Young Owl whispered.
Adoramon devolved back into Innomon, exhausted from the flight and attack.
"Sonic Bubble..." She whispered.
The attack hit Otazoidmon, and Young Owl waited. A few moments later and Otazoidmon stopped blurring. Young Owl sighed, smiling. He looked at Innomon and saw her collapse.
Innomon was a close resemblance to Patamon and was the same form basically. The differences were in gender and color, with a few other stuff. Her upper body was white, while her lower body was green. Her ears were white in color. An ancient symbol on Innomon's forehead was outlined in green, as a birthmark. Innomon is short for Innocent Monster.
Otazoidmon regained conscious and stared at Young Owl.
"What happened?" He asked.
"I'll explain later." Young Owl replied.
Otazoidmon jumped out of Young Owl's arms, landing unharmed on the ground. Young Owl went to Innomon's side, she was panting with her eyes closed. Otazoidmon went over to Young Owl's side. The two looked in the distance, and saw the pack returning. Young Owl glanced at Otazoidmon.
"Think you can hold them back? Maybe even defeat them?" Young Owl asked.
"I don't know, but I'll try." Otazoidmon shrugged, stepping in front of Young Owl, steadying himself. "You continue on. Don't worry about me. We'll see one another soon." He smiled.
Young Owl blinked, but returned the smile. He cuddled up Innomon between his arms, and rushed off. The leading Garurumon X howled the first to leap at Otazoidmon.
"Here we go." Otazoidmon whispered.
Koushiro and Tentomon were in some clearing, supervising the kids.
'Why did I have to be the one to end up with the kids' picnic?' Koushiro thought, moaning.
Tentomon stared at Koushiro.
"Izzy, are you O.K.?" He asked.
Koushiro shrugged, "I'm fine Tentomon." 'I have to survive through this somehow.'
"Koushiro? What are you doing here?" A voice asked.
Koushiro looked up and saw Hikari; with Gatomon; Little Moon and Salamon. He sighed, with his hand on his chest.
"I'm here to look over the kids, while they're having their picnic." He replied.
"Do you mind if we stay?" Little Moon asked.
Koushiro shrugged, "Sure. All of you are welcome to stay." 'YES! YES! YES! I'm not alone...'
"Hey Sazuya! Wanna play ball?" Kaze asked, from his place on the picnic cloth.
Sazuya shook his head, "No time. We're not here to play anyway."
Kaze and Yamicho made place, and Sazuya sat down between them. Salamon settled down on Sazuya's squared lap. Hikari took her seat beside Koushiro and Gatomon sat down between them.
"What are you and your son doing here?" Koushiro asked.
"Gennai e-mailed us and told us to come; he said it had to deal with something about Sinzo." Hikari replied.
"What happened to your dad?" Emily asked, whispering.
Sazuya shrugged, "That's why we're here: to find out."
War Greymon landed behind Koushiro and Hikari, out of breath. A few moments later and Pegasusmon landed with Taichi and Takeru. Hikari sensed them and turned around; Gatomon turned around and stared at the new comers. Hikari stood up, and Taichi and Takeru got off of Pegasusmon. Pegasusmon devolved back to Patamon and War Greymon devolved back to Agumon. Gatomon rushed to Patamon.
"Hey! It's been long! Sorry I wasn't at the union a few days back." Gatomon apologized.
Patamon blushed, panting. "No need. We found out you and Salamon were sick. I'm glad to see you're back healthy now."
Gatomon chuckled. She turned to the side and waved her paw upwards and downwards. She patted her eyes. "Now, now, no cold can keep me sick and away." She stated.
Hikari approached Taichi and Takeru, worried.
"Gennai said that Sinzo was with both of you. Where is he?" Hikari asked, trying to stay calm.
"Sis? What are you doing here?" Taichi asked, surprised.
Takeru waved him away and stepped forward. "We think he's holding off some bad Codelimin, we don't know how he's holding out though."
"What?!" Hikari shrieked.
Taichi sweat-dropped, "Here we go." He muttered.
"I'm sure he's fine." Takeru sweated nervously, backing away with his hands in front of him, waving left to right.
"A pack of Garurumon X is more than we can take Kari." Patamon explained, momentarily looking away from Gatomon.
"A pack of Garurumon X?!" Hikari and Gatomon both shrieked.
Tears begun to show in Hikari's eyes, she held tight onto Takeru's shirt. "Which way?" She demanded.
"It's too dangerous for you!" Taichi snapped.
"I'm his wife! I deserve to know exactly what happened to him!" Hikari snapped back.
"Is that him?" Meadow asked, pointing.
They all turned to where Meadow was pointing. For sure, Young Owl appeared in the distance, coming closer. He was carrying something in his arms, and it wasn't Otazoidmon. Hikari laughed: joyous. She rushed over to Young Owl, immediately embracing him in a bear hug. Young Owl stopped. Sazuya; Salamon and Gatomon all approached him next. Young Owl was panting, and his arms were bus, so he couldn't return the brace. Hikari let go and stared Young Owl in his eyes.
"What happened?" Hikari asked.
"How... Why are you here dear?" Young Owl asked, panting.
Hikari blinked, confused. "Gennai told us that something happened to you. I came as quickly as I could with Little Moon."
Young Owl's eyes widened, "Excellent... We need to head back and help Otazoidmon..." With that, and without warning, Young Owl collapsed.
"Sinzo!" Hikari's scream was the last of what Young Owl heard, his sight fading into darkness.
Young Owl opened his eyes, and felt himself falling. He looked towards the ground, but it was too late for him to scream. He knelt down, touching the ground, unharmed, which surprised him. He looked around and saw a large wolf with green eyes and dark green fur, standing up. The wolf had the divine crest of myths outlined on its forehead in black. A necklace was around his neck. The wolf approached Young Owl.
For some reason, Young Owl froze in place: not afraid at all. Behind him was an Islamic mosque, it had a dark green dome, with a light green crescent above it. The wolf knelt its head in front of Young Owl, making the necklace fall to the ground. The wolf looked back at Young Owl, and smiled, before fading away. Young Owl blinked. He knelt down and picked up the necklace. The necklace's holder was of smooth flexible emerald. The necklace held some sort of device.
Young Owl turned it around, wondering what it was for some time. Eventually he sighed, and put it around his neck. So suddenly, everything became foggy and faded away.
Young Owl stirred.
"He's waking up." Someone whispered.
"Good..." Someone else sighed.
Young Owl opened his eyes, with his back on the picnic mat. His eyes widened when he saw Otazoidmon over his head, smiling. He quickly jerked up, barely hitting Otazoidmon in his forehead. Young Owl looked around him and saw all of them gathered around him. He saw a glance of Innomon, still unconscious, but Patamon was by her side, by himself. Gatomon was with the crowd, around Young Owl.
Subconsciously, Young Owl touched his necklace. It dangled around his neck.
'Just how long was I out?' Young Owl thought, wondering.
COMING UP!
-Remember... Remember my words... For they may keep you and those you love alive... Remember... -
