Star Mystics: Power of Ownalis
Episode 7: "Future Knowledge"
Fred here, previously on Power of Ownalis: Jereiph, Peter, Steve and Tearmon escaped the prison. Steve and Tearmon are yet to be seen. Jereiph along with Peter and Jeramel attacked the families of Gralen 57 members, including mine! Nanerams survived, Stablins survived, Camones survived and Stan's family survived. Anyway, Stan is in Japan right now and the previous chapters or chapters call them whatever you want, is really all in the past.
This is where the real fun begins but not at the beginning and also Stan has a few surprises but he or I'm aren't telling. On with the conclusion.
The sun was shining brightly on the early morning of Tuesday. Stan slowly opened his eyes to meet with the sunshine, he quickly shut them because they weren't used to the sunshine because of the long sleep. He turned away from it and forced his eyes open; he let his eyes get use to the light. When he jumped off the bunk, he nearly tripped and fell to the floor but he was able to keep his balance.
Ann entered and when she saw Stan awake, she smiled and left again. Stan shook himself out of the drowsiness. He looked at the clock and saw that it was 6:55 am. Stan shrugged; he went into the bathroom and took a shower. He put on his uniform and it dried himself up because the uniform dried the body quickly without getting wet. He faced the mirror which was on the wall above the sink and he combed his hair, washed his face and brushed his teeth.
He looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 7:20 am. He felt refreshed. He went downstairs and took his seat as his parents were having their breakfast. Stan prepared himself a sandwich. After swallowing a bite, he asked his dad a question.
"Uh, dad, I forgot to ask you. What's your job?" He asked
Tom looked up from his tea and newspaper and looked strangely at Stan, he remembered that he really didn't tell him.
"I work in a secret agency, even your mother doesn't know about it." He replied
"Why didn't you go yesterday then? If you don't mind me asking." Stan discussed, after swallowing another bite.
"Well, the agency said that I could take a month off since your back." Tom replied
Stan nodded. He finished his breakfast, washed his hands and brushed his teeth again. As he was going upstairs, his mom stopped him. Stan looked back and saw Ann carrying a lunch bag.
"For your lunch." She shrugged
Stan nodded and smiled; he took it and continued upstairs. He entered his room and got his school bag. He checked if he had the D-Cam, check! The Deck, check! G Sphere, empty! He quickly put his D-Cam in the knapsack. He quickly checked Greemon; Sigmalmon and Simon. The three of them were still out like flies. Stan nodded and went into the garage. He put his lunch bag in the secret compartment in his bike and put his school bag on his shoulders.
Stan turned the security systems off, got on and drove off to school. The drive was not that long, he parked in the school parking lot this time and he got off, took out his lunch bag and put the security systems back on. He went to his tree and sat down leaning on it. It was 7:45 so it was still early. Stan put his lunch bag and school bag on one side of him and he took his deck out. He spread it in front of him and started to play by himself.
After 20 minutes, the rest of Gralen 57 joined him; they were in their Gralen Uniforms too. Stan decided that it was this time to tell them about himself better. He sighed and kept on playing while the other members watched in silence. Without taking his eyes off of the cards, Stan told them.
"You guys promise not to tell anybody what I'm going to tell you?" He asked
They all nodded. Stan didn't see but he knew they accepted, so he continued on.
"First of all, my real name is Stan Tom Otomy." He started
He heard some gasps but he still continued on.
"On this coming weekend, I and my family are going to Japan." He added
He didn't hear any response but then Mark asked him.
"Why and for how long?" Mark asked
"We're going to visit some old friends of my parents. It would only be three weeks." Stan replied, still not looking up from the cards.
"Who will be in charge then?" Fred asked
"I already made that decision and it's going to be Mark since he was a leader before." Stan replied
"How are you going to keep up with us?" Carl asked
"Either Daniel or Samantha will tell me that through their D-Cams." Stan replied
He gave them his D-Cam address and they gave him theirs.
"You know Japanese well?" Daniel asked
"Certainly do, it's like a second language to me." Stan replied
"Are you going to a school there?" Brian asked
"I hope not." Stan replied
He looked at his watch and saw it was 8:30, so he gathered his deck and put them away. Just then, the bell rang and everybody went into the school. Stan told the rest of the class about him leaving but he didn't tell them his real name neither did he tell Mrs. Carmer. He told that his family was going to go. Mrs. Carmer asked how he was going to keep up with his studies. He replied by telling her that Samantha or Daniel would send him that kind of info.
During the first recess, Stan entered the principle's office and told the principle. He told him what he told the others except for the real name stuff. During the lunch period, Stan got his lunch bag and went to the cafeteria, this time he wasn't going to buy but he would eat whatever his mother prepared him. As the day before, he went to a table by himself. After a few minutes he noticed that none of the Beverly Hills gang was there. His ears jerked up and he stopped himself in mid bite.
He finished the bite and looked around, no sign of any members of the gang. He shrugged and finished his lunch just as the bell rang. He put the napkins in the lunch bag, went back to his locker and put his lunch bag in there. He took his school bag out and went back to his class. Just as the second recess was starting, Mr. Miczu made an announcement through out the school.
"Attention personal and students. I've noticed that none of the members of the gang have appeared, I also got conformations from the teachers that had members of the gang in their class, and they said that they didn't show. So I presume that even though this is only one day that the gang has quit school! Or at least this school. Anyway, for three days, we'll prepare ourselves for celebration. The celebration will be on the 5th of October."
"On Friday, for three days continuing on the weekend. We'll notify and give you all more information later on. For now, the celebration will be a farewell one and a celebrating one since the gang quit our school. This is the principle, over and out." Mr. Miczu finished
There was a loud cheer in the corridors and into the school yard. Stan smiled as he left the building; he went over to his tree and laid down under the shade. He knew that the farewell was for him, but he was going to be gone for only three weeks or was he mistaken? If he was then for how longer more will he stay and why? He shook his head not knowing the answer. Anyway, he'll know during the three weeks if he'd stay in Japan or not.
He stayed lying in the shade for the rest of the recess. During the time, he remembered about the horses and Carl; Brian and Fred. The rest of Gralen 57 tried to approach him but either they failed or they couldn't. At last, the final recess was over as the bell rang and everybody rushed into the building. Stan went to his locker and got his school bag out and then went to his classroom.
The rest of the day went on normally except for the fact that Stan wasn't raising his hands; he just listened and kept quiet. When the day was over, Stan went out with Carl; Brian and Fred. Daniel came over and they walked to the parking lot.
"So where are you three going to stay?" Daniel asked
The three of them looked at Stan, who nodded.
"With him." Brian replied, pointing at Stan.
"How are you going to get there though? His bike is only for two and not for four." Daniel reminded
"Do you have any better ideas?" Stan asked, coldly.
The four members noticed but they didn't say anything about it. They thought that it was the fact that he was stressed and was leaving. So they left him alone.
"Actually, yeah." Daniel replied, "My dad is waiting in his car in the parking lot so the three of you can live with us."
"Do you have enough room?" Carl asked
"Sure. Stan is not the only rich kid in the school." Daniel replied, looking at him.
Stan stopped with his mouth opened ajar. The other three continued on. He shook his head remembering about the training, he rushed over to them.
"Don't forget to come around say... 6 pm." He reminded, rushing off to his bike.
This time the other three stopped and looked at each other. After a few minutes, they shrugged and continued onto Mr. Camone's car. Stan turned the security systems off and put his lunch bag in the secret compartment, he put his school bag over his shoulders and got on the bike, he turned it on and drove back home.
He arrived and put it into the garage next to the family car or rather Tom's car.
Stan entered the house after closing the gate and putting the security systems on his bike on. He went up straight to his room, put the school bag under the desk as he sat down, and took out the first homework. In half an hour he was done with all of the homework. He got the school bag ready for Wednesday which was the next day. He went up to his bunk and noticed that Greemon; Sigmalmon and Simon were awake but not in the room.
Stan got on his bunk, took out his GDE Gun and put it on his belt, took out his sheath and sword and connected the sheath to the belt. He jumped down as Simon with the three Digimon entered. Stan sighed.
"You didn't say good-by when you left." Simon remarked
Stan jerked his head up. He never heard Simon talk English and good too. Stan had his cap and eyeglasses on all the time during the day.
"Sorry, but today is a hurry." He replied
"Why?" Simon asked
"I want my group to be ready in any condition where they need to use what they have and I don't want to waste any time." Stan replied
Simon nodded and Stan went downstairs. He greeted his parents and said that Fred; Carl and Brian were staying with Daniel after all. Tom said it was better because where would they go when they leave?
Stan also asked him about the horses.
"Horses? What horses?" Tom asked
"Do we have a ranch?" Stan asked
"Of course, down in Stanapolis." Tom replied
"Stanapolis?" Stan asked
Tom and Ann laughed
"Tom always wanted to name a place after you Stan so we named our ranch Stanapolis." Ann replied
"Well, anyway. Do we have horses there?" Stan asked
"Yeah, around ten. Why?" Tom asked
"Good, because I want my group to learn horse-back." Stan replied
Tom nodded.
"Today! You want to teach them today?" He asked
Stan nodded, "The sooner the better. I don't want my group in trouble when I'm not around."
Tom nodded and calmed down. Stan went to the phone as he contacted the members of the group and told them to come at 6 for the horse-back training. They all said that they would come. Stan went into the backyard and laid down under the only tree. Simon and the Digimon joined him. Stan knew they were there but he just ignored them. That's where he stayed until 6 pm.
What A.J.; Ähmed and Helen saw, they couldn't believe. They were looking at a twisting spiraling wormhole, emerald color. It was sort of spooky for the three of them but they looked for a way around it or something and there was none. All of them sweat-dropped.
"If we go into that wormhole, where would it send us?" Ähmed asked
"I have no clue whatsoever." A.J. replied
"But why is it there then?" Helen asked
"Maybe the plot missile was able to make it somehow after it collided with the wall. It formed after the cave in." A.J. replied
"Do you think we should go in?" Ähmed asked
"But we don't know where it leads to." Helen protested
"Wherever it leads, I'm going in with or without the two of you." A.J. nodded, firmly.
He put on a stern face as he walked to the wormhole. Ähmed and Helen looked at each other.
"What should we do?" Ähmed asked
"Go after him I guess." Helen replied
Ähmed nodded. They walked after A.J. who was waiting for them at the entrance of the wormhole. They reached him and looked inside.
"Really spooky." Ähmed noted
"Any advice A.J.?" Helen asked, looking at him.
"I would guess that it would lead all of us to the same place so there is no need to hold each other's hands. Also, when you enter the wormhole close your eyes and think of something pleasant. Don't open them until you hit hard solid ground." A.J. replied
Helen nodded along with Ähmed. A.J. took in a deep breath and exhaled it. He stepped into the wormhole as he shut his eyes right away. A.J. was sucked into the wormhole at top speed. Helen and Ähmed blinked.
"I'll go in next." Helen sighed
Ähmed nodded. Helen did what A.J. did as she shut her eyes as she stepped into the entrance of the wormhole. Like A.J.; she was sucked into the wormhole at top speed. Ähmed blinked.
"Oh boy. I just hope I'll stay alive after this." He commented
He took in a deep breath as he exhaled it. He stepped into the wormhole and was sucked into it at top speed. The entrance to the wormhole closed just as Ähmed stepped into it, sending the three of them to the unknown.
Steve and Tearmon were able to steal a police car after killing the policemen. Steve was in the driver's seat and Tearmon was next to him. Tearmon is the Ultra Level of Watermon, a level lower. He drove past red traffic lights and killed some pedestrians. Steve survived by the help of his RE (Ranger Energy). The cops were after him but in a police car, he was fast. He needed to maneuver quickly though so he wouldn't damage the car when it hit other cars or buildings.
He was searching for the gang's base. He stopped surprisingly at a traffic light that was red. Tearmon looked to the place where he was looking and they saw a fancy building. Tearmon looked back at Steve. He nodded and turned his attention to the lights. It just turned green and just in time because the cops were running over to their car. Steve took off and turned to the right and kept on going.
After awhile he turned to the right again but this time into a narrow street and he kept on going. He was going to kill his son for sure now when he found him, since he was the one who fired. Steve stopped in front of the fancy building in its parking lot and they heard behind them police cars passing by. They entered through the front gate where there were no guards.
'Maybe to not make them suspicious.' Steve thought
At that moment Steve's RE started to glow. He looked at it and quickly jumped to the side as he avoided a hit from one of the members. His RE glowed more as Tearmon was surrounded in bloody blackness. Inside it, they could hear Tearmon initiate.
"TEARMON INITIATE IN..."
"... WATERMON!"
The beam disappeared and Watermon reappeared and faced the member who was going to hit his partner. He formed an electric spiral in between his hands in front of him, then let it loose.
"Electric Water!" Watermon yelled
The attack electrocuted and killed the attacker. Watermon and Steve continued on their way deeper into the base.
At 6 pm, the members arrived, all of them. They were all together so they didn't have to wait for any one. Stan told them that they were going to the family ranch. He got on his bike while the other members got into the family's van. It was enough for all of them. Simon; Tom and Ann also came. Lady Shimmon was on Samantha's lap. Sigmalmon was in Simon's J Sphere. Greemon and Griffonmon were in Stan's G Spheres. After everyone was seated, they drove off.
The van in the lead because Stan didn't know where the ranch was. He drove his bike behind the van and since he was the last one out, he was the one who closed the garage's gate. They drove off to the ranch. During the drive, Stan memorized the road they were using but he still kept his eye on the van. They stopped at a blockade for an unknown reason. Stan parked near the sidewalk as he and Tom went over to a cop.
"What's going on?" Tom asked
"Who are you first?" The cop asked
"I'm agent Tom Markem of the Gralen Swat." Tom replied, showing his ID.
'So that is his job!' Stan thought
The cop sighed then replied, "We're after one of the escapers of the Californian Prison."
"Who to be exact?" Tom asked, crossing his arms.
"A person named Steve Rankid and his creature. We suspect that he hadn't past this blockade yet and we hope we'll catch him here." The cop replied
Tom nodded.
"Ok then, can you let us pass?" He asked
"Sorry but no can do, he might take that chance to come through it." The cop replied
Tom nodded and walked back into the van and told the others of what he said. Stan went back to his bike.
"So are we going to go or not?" Mark asked
"There is another road but it's longer." Tom replied
"Let's take it." Ann nodded
Tom nodded and checked Stan. Stan drove in front of the same cop.
"In what kind of car was he in?" He asked
"A police car. Licensed: 51AD32." The cop replied
"Thanks. I'll contact you guys if I find him." Stan nodded
He drove between the blockade and past it.
"What is he doing?" Tom asked
"Investigating." Samantha replied, as she leaned back on the seat.
Everyone looked at her weirdly.
"What?" Samantha asked
"How do you know?" Mark asked
Samantha showed them her D-Cam that still had the message. They all nodded.
"I guess we'll wait for him here then. After all, this is his idea." Tom sighed, as he drove to the side.
Stan, meanwhile, spotted the fancy building.
"Is it just me or are Steve and the gang in there?" He asked himself
He drove the same route that Steve used. He went through a narrow street and after awhile, into a parking lot. He saw the police car empty; he got off his bike and put the security systems on. He went over to the police car and checked the plate. 51AD32. it was it! Steve was definitely in the building. He got his GDE Gun out of his belt and held it firm with both of his hands. He entered the building and went by the dead member, looking at him. He still saw sparks flying from him.
Stan could guess right away who it was but he needed to stay alert. That member had the gang uniform on and meant that he was a member and that this building was the gang's base. Stan went on in the dark and came cautiously close to light and hid himself as he leaned more to the wall. He looked out and saw that it was an arena. Steve and Watermon were in the middle as members of the gang were in the staircases higher up. Stan could tell that it was like a roman arena.
He saw Peter and Jereiph in the center of the staircases looking at Steve, who in return looked back at them.
"This time you are both going to die!" Steve growled, pointing at them.
They just laughed; Steve ignored them and got ready. Stan still held his gun in case anybody saw him; he kept turning around to see that nobody was there.
"EVIL INITIATE IN..."
"... BILLMON!"
Billmon and Watermon waited for them to do the first move and they did. Jereiph snapped his fingers and a War Greymon appeared into the arena. Billmon smiled as he saw his challenge. But then he looked back and saw Metal Garurumon. Jereiph snapped his fingers again and what Stan saw amazed him to the degree that he put his hands down with the GDE Gun but he quickly recovered from the shock.
"WAR GREYMON..."
"METAL GARURUMON..."
"DNA DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... OMNIMON!"
Omnimon was Watermon's height because if he was his real height then he'd break through the floors. Omnimon was in front of his opponents. Billmon nudged Watermon and nodded to him. Watermon smirked as he took a step forward. Omnimon smiled. He wanted Watermon first because he was a true Digimon unlike Billmon who was an hybrid. Stan watched with awe as the two opponents faced each other.
Billmon went as he sat in a save area out of the arena in the side seats and watched too. The battle began as Watermon charged at Omnimon. Watermon got out his ax and slashed it at Omnimon. Omnimon, however, jumped into the air just in time and did a back flip, facing Watermon's back. Noticing the danger, Watermon quickly turned around. Omnimon took out his Supreme Cannon and took careful aim at Watermon.
Watermon wasn't just going to stand there and let Omnimon take him down that easily. He needed to think of a plan. He smiled as he got one. He charged furiously with his ax. Omnimon quickly stepped to the side as Watermon past him. Watermon growled and turned around. He charged Omnimon full speed and directly at him that it surprised Omnimon as he didn't avoid it. Watermon quickly cut off the Supreme Cannon's arm as he let it fall to the ground and disintegrate.
Peter and Jereiph stood up in awe and fear of their supreme champion losing and not just any loss but a deadly one. Watermon didn't stop there, he continued on his assault and cut off the arm of the transcendent sword, it also fell to the ground and disintegrated. For his final attack, Watermon jumped back as Omnimon knelt down. Stan quickly realized something dangerous, but he was too late to interfere as Watermon attacked. Watermon slashed his ax forward as he swung around.
"Wet Ocean!" Watermon yelled
The water wave hit Omnimon deadly, it went through his body and totally disintegrated him. Peter; Jereiph and the rest of the members of the gang jerked up in shock and surprise. Watermon faced his ax at Peter and was about to attack when Billmon stopped him. Noticing their danger, the gang left the arena in a hurry, running away. They past by Stan but they didn't notice him like he wasn't there. Billmon and Watermon watched as their opponents ran away.
Stan watched them from where he was as he put his GDE Gun back into his belt. When every member of the gang was gone, Stan walked back to his bike as he drove off. In the shadows, Steve and Watermon watched and secretly followed him in their police car. In his bike, Luis of Code Union contacted him, through his D-Cam. Stan opened the line.
"Yep. Stan speaking. What is it Luis?" Stan asked
"It's amazing history you have here, I just checked it all. We need to meet." Luis replied
"Maybe some other time. I'll contact you when I'm able to." Stan explained
"Busy eh?" Luis asked
"I'm being followed so yes I'm busy." Stan whispered
"I'll hear from you later then." Luis decided and closed the line.
Stan closed his line and put his D-Cam back where it was.
Stan returned to the blockade and stopped in front of the cop.
"He is following me but I think he's out of sight now since he saw the blockade." He told the cop
The cop nodded. Stan past the blockade and went over to the van. He looked at the passenger's window and Ann put the window down.
"Are we going or you changed your mind?" Stan asked, Tom with his arms folded.
Tom smirked then nodded.
"Of course we're going, follow us." He smiled
Stan nodded and backed up a little. Tom backed up, turned around as he turned to the right at the first intersection with Stan in the rear.
After half an hour of driving, non stop except at the intersections and to get some supplies, they arrived at Stanapolis.
Stan stopped his bike to look around, Tom noticed but he continued on. The cabin was a few meters in the distance, Stan saw it with his eye. He looked around the area that was totally covered in short trimmed grass, i.e.: a plain. Stan saw in the horizon to the west and to the east, small hills. He was on a tarred street like the ones in the cities. He nodded as he continued on. He stopped next to the van in the Stanapolis parking lot, it was big but not that big. Everyone got out.
Tom went over to Stan.
"How many acres?" Stan asked
"Around 75 thousand, we use 15 thousand for our farm, 15 thousand for the tree ranch as the rest is for the horses." Tom replied, looking out on the plain with Stan.
"Where are the horses?" Stan asked
Tom shrugged.
"I don't know. You want to go search for them while the rest of us settle in for today?" He asked
Stan shrugged.
"Sure, why not." He replied
He got onto his bike and drove on into the plain in search for the 10 horses. Tom laughed to himself, shook his head and went to help with bringing the supplies in.
"Where's Stan?" Samantha asked
"And why are you asking?" Carl teased
"Carl, no teasing in Stanapolis." Ann remarked
"Sorry." Carl apologized, lowering his head.
Samantha blushed as Carl asked her the question. She lowered her head and looked at the floor.
"He went to search for the horses." Tom answered Samantha's question.
Stan was looking left and right for the horses put none where in sight when suddenly something pulled his plated shirt back. He went back flying into the air and safely landed, surprisingly on a pure white horse. He had no saddle or anything on him, he was free as free as an animal can be. The bike went on until Stan told it to go back to the parking lot. It obeyed, turned around, past the white horse and Stan and continued on its way to the parking lot.
Stan shook his head and laughed as he noticed the other nine horses around closing in the white one.
"Maybe he's the leader." He guessed
"Hey boy! Want to go back to the ranch?" He asked
The horse turned his head and looked at him. He snapped his teeth, turned his head forward, raised his head and walked out of the circle.
"If that's what you want. You or the other horses won't get a ride then." Stan mocked
The horse stopped, raised his small ears and looked at Stan with wondering eyes.
"That's right, there are at least nine others back at the ranch. Enough for each one of you to ride." He smiled
The horse reared, turned towards the ranch and galloped towards it. He was in the lead as the other nine horses were following. In a few minutes, all of them arrived.
Tom and the others, were at the door watching Stan come in. Stan was smiling as the horse was proudly walking forward, seeing the number of people as the same number of his breed. Carl; Brian; Fred; Samantha; Mark and Daniel left the building and each one went to a horse. Simon was kind of afraid, he was hiding behind his mother, holding onto her dress, poking his head out. He looked at the small brown, young horse looking at him pleadingly. Simon quickly hid his face again.
Samantha was rubbing the snout of the black horse, it was obvious that the horse was female. Mark went over to a bay one and hugged it. The horse also hugged him back, both their eyes closed. Carl went to a brown spotted white horse and massaged his back neck, the horse closed eyes as it enjoyed the massage. Stan's horse had black eyes and a white mane with the tip of the tail white too; Samantha's horse had black eyes and a grey mane with the tip of the tail yellow.
Mark's horse had brown eyes and a brown mane with the tip of the tail red; Carl's had brown eyes with a black mane and the tip of the tail black too; Brian's horse had a blue mane with the tip of the tail green and brown eyes, it was yellow. Fred's horse had black eyes with a black mane and the tip of the tail blue, it was white, like Stan's; Daniel's horse had brown eyes, purple mane with the tip of the tail purple too, it was bay, like Mark's.
Simon's horse had black eyes with an orange mane and the tip of the tail brown. There were two others in the back of the young horses. It was obvious that they were Tom's and Ann's. Tom's horse was white with brown eyes, a green mane and the tip of the tail green too. Ann's horse was black with black eyes and a pink mane with the tip of the tail pink too. The four elders looked at each other.
"Want to go for a ride?" Tom asked
Ann looked at him.
"You mean on Jasmine?" She asked
"Yep." Tom replied
"Sure, O.K. then." Ann replied
She went over to Jasmine which was the black horse with a pink mane and tip of tail pink. She got on and held tight but not too tight to the degree that it would hurt Jasmine. Tom went over to Timothy which was the white horse with a green mane and tip of tail green.
"What about Simon?" Ann asked
"I'll deal with him." Stan replied, hopping off.
He walked over to Simon as Ann and Tom rode off.
"Gralom?" Stan asked
"Lo." Simon replied
"It obvious." Stan sighed
"What?" Samantha asked
"Simon's afraid of either riding horses or just afraid of horses in general." Stan replied
He sighed.
"Shadowm Ķarnad Siglom?" He asked
Simon didn't reply right away but after awhile he did.
"Ge Ķarna Gai." He replied
Stan narrowed his eyes in confusion.
"Ge?" He asked
"Lo." Simon replied
Stan sighed, now he understood! Simon wanted him to be close by so he won't be afraid.
"Cin." He agreed
He grabbed Simon's hand and helped him up the brown horse. Stan went to the horse's ear and whispered something in it. The horse nodded in understanding. Stan told Simon not to be afraid because he was going to be close by. He went to his horse and jumped on to it. He leaned down and whispered something in its ear while he petted its neck. The horse nodded. Stan stabilized himself as his horse went over to Simon. It stopped right next to him.
The rest of the members gathered around the two siblings.
"You want to go for a race?" Mark asked, smirking.
"Can't, I need to watch Simon." Stan replied
The members were disappointed to say the least. But they went off as Mark and Samantha raced each other. While the other horses, not including Stan and Simon, were trotting. Stan sighed as he saw Mark and Samantha racing together. He shook his head and looked at Simon.
"Leadory?" He asked
"Lo." Simon replied
The two horses walked off side by side. Stan thought of a name for his horse and snapped his fingers, surprising the two horses and Simon, as he thought of one.
"Jerebi." He decided
Simon looked at him weirdly.
"My horse's name." Stan explained
Simon nodded.
"Sigmat." He decided
Stan didn't dare giggle, for it would hurt Simon's feelings, it would hurt even more if he told him why. So Jerebi and Sigmat continued on their walk. After awhile, they trotted. Stan watched Simon to see his reactions, he was O.K. with it for the time being. After 10 minutes, Sigmat started to gallop but kind of slowly, not scaring Simon. Jerebi was still trotting. Stan watched as Sigmat was going further and further away until he no longer could see him.
Jerebi stopped looking in the same direction too. Stan was worried for Simon but he wasn't hearing any screaming or laughing. Jerebi was worried for Sigmat, even though he was young, Sigmat still did some goofy stuff. Jerebi inhaled some air and then furiously exhaled it. Stan sighed.
He lightly kicked Jerebi's side. Jerebi understood and started galloping in a different direction than all the others. They galloped through the plain then through the forest. After awhile, Jerebi stopped in front of what looked like a mine entrance. Stan got off of Jerebi and told him to wait there. He went into the mine and looked around, it was lighted with torches. He saw gold every where, he examined some on his D-Cam and as he thought, it was pure gold.
He stood up and looked around. He nodded as he heard a scream, it was a faint one but he still heard it, he rushed out and quickly got on Jerebi. Jerebi rushed back in the direction of the house ranch. Just as they were leaving the forest, Mark's horse went by through the forest. Jerebi stopped and both he and Stan looked back.
"That was Mark's horse." He started
Jerebi looked at him.
"But the rider wasn't Mark." Stan finished
Jerebi quickly galloped towards the intruder.
"There is only one person who could have followed us... Steve." Stan mumbled
Jerebi galloped faster. Stan got a message from Mark on his D-Cam telling him about Rajel, Mark's horse. Stan wrote a message back saying that he was following Steve. He put the D-Cam back and knelt closer to Jerebi's head, letting Jerebi go even faster.
They crossed the forest as they were out on the plain again. In the distance, Stan and Jerebi saw small hills, even closer, Stan saw Rajel and Steve. He urged Jerebi to go faster which he did. In that speed, that fast, they caught up to Rajel in no time. Stan was right, it was Steve. Jerebi was behind Rajel but they were close to each other. Steve looked back as he aimed his EDE (Evil D-Energy) Gun at Stan. Knowing what it would do, Stan quickly took action.
"Plate mode." He muttered
Jerebi's snout; tail; legs and neck got covered in silver plates. The plates didn't cover Jerebi's eyes, ears or nose so it was O.K. Steve put his EDE Gun back in his belt as he saw that Jerebi was protected. Rajel looked back and saw Jerebi, he neighed to him. Jerebi nodded, telling him he heard. Rajel purposely slowed his speed down but not to the degree where Steve would notice. Jerebi took the chance and caught up to Rajel.
Stan and Steve were now next to each other, their horses going the same speed.
"EVIL INITIATE IN..."
"... BILLMON!"
Billmon got his ax out and slashed it at Stan. Stan leaned his body to the other side, barely avoiding it. Even though he was protected, a Movab's weapon could some how penetrate the plates. Billmon kept on trying to slash Stan, but Stan kept on avoiding it. They were getting closer and closer to the hill. Stan quickly and purposely moved Jerebi away from Rajel. Jerebi didn't like it but he still did it. He stopped as Rajel went galloping ahead.
He looked at Stan wondering why he moved away from Rajel.
"I checked my D-Cam and there is a trap behind the hill." Stan explained
Jerebi shook his head not understanding. Stan sighed.
"Behind the hill is the police car Steve stole and his Digimon is in it that is extremely dangerous." He explained
Jerebi nodded, understanding and neighed because Rajel was part of his breed, losing him was like Jerebi's heart being stabbed as he would lose a close friend. Stan sighed again in understanding.
Suddenly, he felt pain in his chest, he gasped and held his chest as the pain was intense. Silver light surrounded him. Like lightning, Stan quickly understood what was going on. He let go of his chest as he let the pain in. He slightly kicked Jerebi and again Jerebi galloped towards the hill. Stan took his locket out and saw that it was glowing silver. As they were climbing the hill, what Stan expected, happened.
"GRALEN INITIATE IN..."
"... GRALENERMON!"
Jerebi stopped on the top of the hill and slightly turned as they saw Rajel down on the other side with Billmon and Watermon leaning on the police car. Gralenermon smirked. He kicked Jerebi, a little harder than he wanted to but there was no pain for Jerebi as he galloped down. Gralenermon knelt close to Jerebi's ear as he whispered something to him, Jerebi nodded.
Gralenermon jumped onto Billmon as they passed by, both of them went rolling across the grass, as Jerebi and Rajel quickly galloped back up the hill, going back to the ranch. Watermon watched Gralenermon and Billmon rolling and trying to punch each other. He tried to aim for Gralenermon but he was afraid that he would hit Billmon. Gralenermon broke away from Billmon and Watermon took aim.
"Electric Water!" Watermon yelled
Gralenermon quickly held his shield in the attack's way. The attack evaporated as it collided with the shield, not harming it or Gralenermon. Watermon growled as he saw the shield. Billmon didn't look too happy either as he stood up.
"So it seems that you got to initiate too." He muttered
"In something stronger than you." Gralenermon nodded
"I don't think so." Billmon refused
"Money press!" Billmon yelled
Gralenermon held his shield in front of him to deflect the attack but he wasn't watching Watermon who took the chance.
"Electric Water!" Watermon yelled
Gralenermon knew it was coming, he held onto his sword that was in its sheath, just in case. Billmon's attack collided with Gralenermon's shield, sending Gralenermon a few yards back but not injuring him or the shield. Watermon's attack passed by where Gralenermon was as it disintegrated. Both Billmon and Watermon growled.
"My turn." Gralenermon grinned
"Gralen Shield!" Gralenermon yelled
The attack went through Billmon's chest and he reverted back to Steve as he fell unconscious to the ground. Gralenermon moved the shield aside as he faced Watermon.
"Gralen Burst!" Gralenermon yelled
The attack went through Watermon who was too shocked to move like Billmon and he reverted back to Tearmon as he fell unconscious to the ground. Gralenermon let himself fall down to the ground.
"Finally, I defeated them." He yelled, sighing
He laughed. After awhile he stopped, standing up. He contacted his bike and waited for it to come. He got on and drove off, leaving Tearmon and Steve on the ground unconscious.
He arrived and parked the bike next to the van. Jerebi galloped to him and stopped in front of him. The silver platings were gone from him. Jerebi put his snout on Gralenermon's shoulder, Gralenermon smiled and hugged him back too. Gralenermon remembered Realm of Reflection, the mirror image on the first time. Samantha was the first to come out of the house, she gasped as she saw Gralenermon. He let go of Jerebi and Jerebi put his head up to its normal height looking at Samantha.
Gralenermon turned around and faced Samantha, she backed into the wall scared.
"I have a question for you." Gralenermon smiled
"Wh-what?" Samantha asked, nervously.
"Would Jerebi be right next to me if I was dangerous or a stranger?" Gralenermon asked
Samantha's eyes narrowed.
"Stan? That you?" She asked
Gralenermon laughed.
"Sure is. I'm just in my hybrid's form." He replied
Samantha rushed to him and hugged him. Gralenermon was taken by surprise but he hugged Samantha back. The rest of the group came out as they saw Gralenermon and Samantha hugging. Mark backed away into the cabin, jealous.
"So you got to your expert trainer?" Tom asked
Gralenermon nodded. Simon ran over and jumped into Gralenermon's free arm. Gralenermon hugged two people at one time.
"They look so cute together." Tom whispered to Ann
"Yes I know." Ann replied
"I meant Stan and Samantha." Tom whispered
"Oh." Ann sighed
"Mark, I have your horse back. Or do you already know?" Gralenermon asked
He broke his hug with Samantha but he was carrying Simon on his head. Mark came out and saw Rajel. He ran over to his horse and hugged him, Rajel hugged him back, missing him too. Gralenermon put Simon down and he got back on to Jerebi and said 'Plate mode' as the plates appeared. It didn't cover the mane or tip of the tail or the body.
"Going to check on the intruders. Maybe also go for a ride, just I and Jerebi. I'll be back at sunset." Gralenermon explained
Tom and Ann nodded. Jerebi galloped away. Tom clapped his hands together once and rubbed them.
"O.K., kids. Say good-bye to your horses. Let's load the van and wait for Stan." He decided, as he laughed because he did a small rhyming there.
The entire group of kids moaned as they said their good-byes. The horses galloped away disappointed but happy with Rajel in the lead. The kids watched their horses go away and when they were no longer seen, they went back into the cabin and helped put the stuff in the van.
Meanwhile, with Gralenermon and Jerebi. Jerebi was trotting on the plains. They checked on Steve and Tearmon but they weren't there neither was the police car. They guessed that they ran away, Jerebi started trotting on the plains with Gralenermon on him. It was a sad moment for them both. Jerebi knew Gralenermon was leaving.
"Well, I will see you again, I just know it. Maybe not here or not after the visit but we'll see each other again." Gralenermon smiled
Jerebi didn't reply. Gralenermon sighed. Jerebi stopped and let him off.
"Don't worry, you'll see me again." Gralenermon assured, as he get off and patted Jerebi.
Jerebi nodded and galloped away, Gralenermon watched until he was out of sight. He took his D-Cam out and wrote a message to Mark, telling him and the others that he'll fly back as he would be waiting for them and not to worry about his bike. After a few minutes, Mark wasn't the only one who protested but the other members as well as his parents. Gralenermon sighed again, he wrote a reassuring message and put his D-Cam back.
He jumped into the air and just floated there as his cape did the flying. He flew higher into the air so that when he reached the town, nobody will notice him. He flew off towards home.
At 10 pm, Stan and Simon were in bed as Sigmalmon and Greemon were sleeping. An hour and half ago, the other members of Gralen 57 left for their homes. Carl; Brian and Fred went with Daniel in his father's car.
"How was it like?" Simon suddenly asked
The light was off as the door was closed. The window was open as fresh air came in, there was a slight breeze but Simon and Stan were tucked in well as the breeze or air didn't bother them.
"I actually felt strong and capable of many stuff." Stan replied
"I hope my hybrid form can fly." Simon commented
Stan smiled.
"Let's just go to sleep. Tomorrow is another school day for me." He reminded
Simon nodded as he closed his eyes. After a few minutes, Stan heard him sleeping. He also closed his eyes as he dozed off to dream-world.
In the dream world, Stan saw that he was back in the realm of reflection. He folded his arms annoyed.
"I thought Sigmalmon and Greemon said that the last time, would be the last time." He hissed
"That was because it was the last time they would come here." A voice replied
"And may I have the pleasure to know who you are?" Stan asked
"Yes." The voice replied
A figure appeared in front of Stan, it looked like a blue dragon.
"My name is Azulongmon. The sovereign of the eastern quadrants of the Digi-Universe." The blue dragon greeted
"Yeah, I know you. Gennai told me about you." Stan nodded
"I know Gennai talked about me to you, but that isn't why I brought you here." Azulongmon explained
"O.K., why did you bring me here?" Stan asked
Azulongmon floated to the side, letting Stan see a mirror.
"So? What's the point?" He asked
"Look in it." Azulongmon replied
Stan did. He walked over to it as he looked into it. He watched as the mirror showed clips of the past. Three or more DigiDestined with their Digimon fighting a Kimeramon.
"O.K., so why are you showing me this?" He asked
Azulongmon floated next to him, facing the mirror that was showing the clips, too.
"Because since you are the Gralen Defender, you should know this stuff." He replied
"Please give me your passport." He requested
Stan opened his knapsack and gave Azulongmon his passport. He held it for him as one of the Digi-Cores went to the passport as it glowed brightly on it. After awhile it stopped and returned to Azulongmon. Stan turned his passport over and looked at the front cover, he looked back at Azulongmon confused.
"I just let it have the ability to go through to any quadrants of the Digi-Universe without having to pass the borders or come to the sovereign's castle. In doing so, you can also go to the human worlds in each of the quadrants. Unfortunately, one of the human worlds isn't connected to any of the quadrants but you can still go to it through Star Gralen." Azulongmon explained
Stan nodded, he looked back as the clip in the mirror changed. It was two young kids, younger than Stan. One had a Wormmon and the other had a Monodramon. Stan recognized one of the kids, it was Ryo. He looked back at Azulongmon.
"What you're watching now is also part of the past... And the future. When you and Ryo fought Moon Millenniummon, you were fighting at that time as well as in the future as Millenniummon has able to control time. Since he had the abilities as a sovereign, he was the fifth one. Unfortunately, his quadrant is connected to the world that I just told you about. Moon Millenniummon isn't the last form of Millenniummon, just like Myotismon or Vamdemon as some people know him, who returned in different forms." Azulongmon explained again
The clip then changed to a more violent one. Stan jumped back as he fell onto the cold floor as he saw the images. Azulongmon sighed.
"Now, what you see is for sure the future. You won't be able to stop it but all the quadrants will need to become allies to defeat this strong threat." He explained
"Are they Digimon?" Stan asked
"No, they're not Digimon or humans as you can see. They are what your specie call aliens. They are named after your language as they speak it and only it fluently." Azulongmon replied
"They're really violent." Stan noticed
"They're violent and dangerous. As you can see, they have no mercy for other species. They would take over the Digi-Universe but the Digi-Heroes Digimon including the Digimon that belong to some humans in the 5th unknown quadrant will also survive as will yours and your group's Digimon. They'll start to conquer and have the ability or technology as your specie call it, to go to other dimensions and times other than the Digi-Universe and the human worlds that are connected to it."
"They'll conquer many worlds including the world that is connected to my quadrant. But there will be one world that is connected to all the quadrants of the Digi-Universe that the aliens won't be able to get to, this world will be the base for the D-Rebels as you will all be called. During that coming time, beware for another kind of specie of aliens, there will only be two members of them but they are still strong and dangerous, also they are imposters."
"Observe well and you'll notice them. All this will happen after the DigiDestined's fight with Armageddemon, but not right away. You'll have grown up and gotten married just like them. You, they and others will have children. Old Digimon will perish and new ones will appear stronger than before." Azulongmon explained
"That's a lot of stuff to memorize." Stan commented
"But not enough for you defender. During that coming time, you're nickname is what you'll become as you'll battle to the end. At the beginning, only the humans and Digimon will have casualties but later on, you and another person will find their weakness and use it, then the aliens will start to get casualties. That is all for now. You might be brought here again and maybe not. One last thing before I go." Azulongmon remembered
The clip changed to two humans fighting against the Invapioers. One with teal hair and the other with brown hair.
"This is also in the future. The two humans you see are the strongest of all the Code Heroes. The one with the brown hair is named A.J. Jallivic but later he'll name himself A.J. Actonal for personal reasons. The one with the teal hair is named Otameno Spiritife. He has a strange past. That's all I can say about this. The rest you'll know in time. As for now, Remia! As you would say it." Azulongmon smiled, as he disappeared.
The place faded into darkness as Stan disappeared.
Stan woke up quickly next morning just as his mother entered. He sat up in his bunk as his mother closed the window but kept it open for air to enter the house. Stan shook his head as he jumped down to the floor. Ann gasped as she saw Stan jump but she smiled as he landed and was O.K. Stan looked at the time as his mother left, it was 7:15 am.
'That long was the dream, couldn't be. But for sure what Azulongmon said was true, it might and will happen.' He thought.
"Stan, you O.K.?" Greemon asked, waking up under the desk and stretching.
Stan nodded and went to the bathroom, took a shower as he did what he did yesterday, brushed his teeth, washed his face and combed his hair. He left it fresh and clean. He had breakfast, put Greemon and Griffonmon into their G sphere, said good-bye to his parents and headed off to school.
Wednesday and Thursday flew quickly. Stan was thinking at different times of what he saw in the dream and of what Azulongmon said. But what surprised him the most was what his parents told him and Stan at dinner on Thursday and that was the beginning of the true and real adventure he was going to have. This was where it all started.
"Stan, you'll not like this but we're going tomorrow early." Ann spoke up.
"Where?" Stan asked
"To Japan." Tom replied
Stan jerked up in his seat.
"But it's too early!" He exclaimed
"Stan, calm down." Ann requested
"Calm down? Calm down? How can I calm down when we're leaving tomorrow? I didn't even say good-bye to my friends." Stan yelled
"Lower your voice and calm down." Tom repeated, in a quieter voice.
"Stan, we're leaving tomorrow and early so you won't have to bid farewell to your friends." Ann explained, gently.
Stan calmed down and sat back in his seat.
"But what if I don't see them in a long time?" He asked
"Stan! It would only be 3 weeks." Ann replied
"But what if I decided to stay there after I saw it?" Stan questioned
"I don't think you will, Stan. After all, you'll want to see your friends again." Tom replied
"And I make friends there, then I might want to stay." Stan added
"You won't make friends in three weeks Stan." Ann giggled
"And anyway, the day we come back here will be your birthday Stan." Tom added
Stan was surprised.
"But I returned at the beginning of October or was that what I thought?" He asked
"You really returned on the 5th of April, Stan." Ann replied
Stan was silent. Simon didn't know what to do as he looked from his parents to Stan. The Digimon were quiet too as they looked at each other. It was settled, they were going early next day. They finished the last dinner they would have in that house for awhile. After dinner, the Markems prepared themselves for departure the next day. Stan was going by water with his bike as the rest of the family was going by plane. Stan and Simon went to bed that night around 12:45 pm.
They quickly slept as they were very tired.
Early next morning, around 6 am, the Markems packed everything they had into the family van. Tom was going to drive the family car as Ann drove the family van. Simon and Sigmalmon were in the van. Griffonmon and Greemon were in their G sphere in Stan's knapsack who was on his bike waiting. His most precious stuff was either in his knapsack or in his school bag which was now his traveling bag. The GDE Gun was in his knapsack as his sword was in his travel bag.
After they were all ready, they took off to the airport. Some people stared at Stan since he was riding a bike, he avoided eyesight with them as he followed the van to the airport. They got to the airport and they made arrangements before for the van and car to be moved on a ship that was going to Japan, Stan was going to follow it. He said good-bye to his parents as he drove off with the car and van. He followed both of them to a sea or rather ocean port.
They were loaded on to the ship as Stan drove the bike over the edge and quickly pressed the button for the skies. The bike landed on the water just as the skis appeared. Stan waited sadly for the ship to go.
