"So then," Novice piped up as he glanced at Takeru, "Are you ready for this?" The serious look Novice gave the Chosen of Hope made it all too clear that he was a little worried.
Takeru looked hesitant for a moment before nodding firmly.
"...I need to hear you say it," Novice said as he brandished the book in his hands.
"Yes," Takeru was able to say, before looking hesitant again, "...Will things go... differently?"
"Only one way to find out," Novice said as the book floated to one of the two youngest of the original eight.
"Are you sure about this Takeru," Yamato asked in concern.
"...No. But I'm going to do it anyway," Takeru replied, giving his brother a determined look.
"Then, let's do this," Yamato said as Takeru opened the book.
Angemon Awakens!
"Already," Taichi questioned at the sight of Agnemon title card, "Don't they need to find Blake and Patamon first?"
"Just let Takeru read," Novice said as he opened a holographic screen.
"What're you doing," Patamon asked.
"Something to get me some peace of mind later," Novice responded, before looking up from the screen, "But if any of you do have questions, feel free to ask."
The bed soared through the air at a speed that was anything but safe, while the occupants were clinging onto it for dear life. However, it wasn't long before the bed started to descend.
"Blake, the ground's getting a lot closer!" Patamon said in alarm.
"Yeah, we'd better get off soon!" she agreed.
"But how do we do that?" Patamon asked.
"Okay, how did you survive," Yamato decided to ask.
"...I'd... rather not say," Takeru said, remembering how Patamon was barely able to carry him.
"I was able to carry Takeru." Except the said mon decided to come clean.
"Hey!"
"Wait, how did he do that," Daisuke asked, unable to picture Patamon doing that.
"Takeru was younger than Iori back then, remember," Taichi pointed out with a light snicker.
"Please stop talking about it," Takeru pleaded, hoping that the most embarrassing part wouldn't be mentioned.
"He forgot to mention that Patamon grabbed him by his undies to carry him," Novice pointed out with a snicker, never lifting his gaze from whatever he was working on.
"WHAT!?" Everyone shouted, before taking a moment to let the mental image appear in their heads. And then the laughter started, which made the poor Chosen of Hope look like he wanted to crawl under a rock.
"I'm so sorry, Takeru," Hikari managed to apologize through her laughter.
"I wish I could've seen it," Daisuke commented as he and Veemon were leaning against each other while laughing like maniacs.
"...Can we just move on," Takeru griped in annoyance, while glaring at the guy who didn't even have the decency to look at the damage he had done.
"...we wait till we get close, then we jump," Blake said after a few moments. "Not the best idea I know, but it's the best we have."
"True, but it's better than Patamon trying to carry her by the Bellabooty," Novice said with a mild snicker.
"The what now," Mimi asked with a weirded out look, causing their host to smack himself.
"Nevermind," he said quickly. "I've spent too much time with Lilithmon," Novice thought in annoyance.
"Ok." Patamon said, a bit nervous, the ground getting closer and closer, before he felt Blake grab him tightly and jump, the two of them going into a roll as the bed crashed down into a lake at the bottom of a waterfall.
The young Digimon shook his head free of dizziness as his partner let him go, looking around to try and see where they were at.
Their bed had been flying around for a good few hours, that much they knew, as the sun was already starting to peak out over the horizon. Looking at where the bed was going one more time, Patamon turned to Blake. "Are you okay, Blake?" he asked worriedly.
"I'm alright. My Aura took most of the hit," she reassured.
He nodded, before he got a thoughtful look on his face "How does Aura work?"
This caught the Children's and the digimon's attention. Wisemon only covered that it was an expression of a soul that shields you and heals minor wounds.
Blake looked at him, smiling a bit as she relaxed onto the ground, ready to explain "Aura is an energy brought forth from a person's soul, it acts as a shield to protect them from harm, and is also partially responsible for a semblance, as only those with active auras can develop them."
That was mildly disappointing, because the Children expected to hear more details.
"Aura is still mostly a mystery to even Remnantians themselves," Novice spoke up, never looking up from whatever he was working on.
Patamon listened, tilting his head as he thought of something "That's weird, it kind of sounds a bit like what Digimon do."
"What," Came out of most Children, who also glanced at their digimon.
Blake blinked, intrigued at that "Really? How so?"
"It's kind of like, we use this energy we feel inside of us to do our attacks. It's a bit weird, but it feels like it's a big part of ourselves too." Patamon tried to explain as best as he could.
"Yeah, that's how it goes," Agumon commented, earning surprised looks out of the Children.
"You guys never questioned how they use their moves?" Novice asked, pausing on whatever he was doing.
"No... I don't think we did," Koshiro admitted for everyone.
Blake frowned a little in thought. That WAS rather similar to it. But then Digimon always could use their attacks so...could it be they were literally born with an awakened Aura? If so, then it meant that they were a lot more similar to them than appearance suggested. However she quickly shook her head. This, while interesting, was something better considered later. "This is something we could discuss more later," she sighed. "We should keep moving."
"Okay," Patamon nodded, before frowning as he looked up at the waterfall.
Patamon could make a guess of what his other was frowning about.
Blake noticed though, looking at him in concern "Are you ok?"
"It's just...if I could evolve, I bet I could fly us over this waterfall, and maybe we could see where the others went.." he said softly.
"...Yeah," Patamon admitted while looking a little down. Which earned him a comforting pat from Takeru.
Blake smiled gently, before bending down and petting him on the back. "Its okay, Patamon. I'm sure you'll evolve when the time is right," she reassured.
"Thanks, Blake," Patamon smiled gratefully.
"...At least Blake isn't coming up with weird names," Patamon said, loud enough for everyone to hear.
"What does Patamon mean," Yamato asked from his brother who was looking down in embarrassment.
"I don't want to talk about it," Takeru said quickly. He was starting to really understand how the others who got shamed felt.
"For now, we should continue moving. We might find something if we look around," she said, picking him up before the two were soon on their way.
Blake kept on walking, the number of trees in the immediate area being rather scarce, and dotting her view were what appeared to be lever crossings.
She stopped in front of one that had the warning lights blinking, she knew it was silly, but considering how strange the Digital World had been so far, she decided not to take any chances.
"I just thought it was good manners," Takeru admitted, earning small laughs from others and a pat on the head from Yamato.
While they were waiting for a train that may or may not pass, Patamon suddenly spoke up. "Hey, Blake?" he started.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Why do you keep hiding behind that bow?" he said suddenly.
Now that was interesting. They had already figured out that Blake was a faunus with how she used that bow or other things to cover her head. Which made them wonder if Blake had some horrible things happen to her because of them.
Blake stiffened for a moment, but soon sighed. "You remember what I said about how things are in Remnant, right?"
"Yeah… is it related?" Patamon asked innocently.
Blake smiled a bit as she was reminded that he was still only a month old "It's because I want people to judge me for who I am, and not what I am. Most people would probably see what I'm hiding before they saw me."
"...Why are the faunus hated on Remnant," Mimi asked, not understanding that.
Novice stopped what he was doing before having a thoughtful look, "A mixture of bad history and the fact that as something that isn't human is easy to blame for all the woes in the world."
"That doesn't even make sense," Sora protested.
"It does to idiots," Novice said, before deciding to remind them,"But remember, in conflicts like these one side remains a victim until they start leaving corpses."
"What does that mean," Iori asked, unsure of how to take that.
"It's the White Fang isn't it," Koshiro said with a sigh.
"Yes, but that's another topic on it's own," Novice said, knowing that they would be here all day if they delved too deep into that.
"Then you don't need to wear that anymore. I know you, and I'm sure everyone else would agree," Patamon smiled.
She sighed again "I wish it was that simple. I'm sure most of them would accept me as I am, but I'm worried about Weiss. I know the twins gave her things to think about, but I doubt she'd accept this so easily… especially considering my past."
"In the canon of RWBY, Weiss had a negative view of faunus in general," Novice spoke up, just before Miyako opened her mouth to ask that very question he was answering. "But she did clean up her act. Then again, there's the possibility that here, her attitude change might happen sooner," the Overseer added.
"What about your past?" Patamon asked, frowning a little bit.
"You remember our first day here right? When we mentioned the White Fang? I used to be a part of it until just a few months ago. I was essentially born into it, as my father was the original leader who wanted to get equality for the Faunus through peaceful means. But, when he stepped down, I thought he and my mother were cowards, and stayed as it became violent." she paused as she took a shuddering breath "The only good thing I can say, is that never once have I harmed another person… though my previous partner, who was someone I looked up to like an older brother… he despised humans, and when he got the chance…" she didn't feel like finishing that phrase.
"...Did he...," Biyomon asked, unable to finish that sentence.
"Yes he did," Novice said with a sigh, "He basically decided that the only good human is a dead human."
"Was this guy always like that," Hikari asked in worry.
"To my understanding, no," Novice said, "But that's another topic that shouldn't be discussed too deeply here either."
Patamon frowned at that. He could tell it upset his partner greatly, but he didn't know what to say or do. "But...you're trying to change, right? You're trying to be better than that now," he said.
Blake paused at that. It was...extremely simplified...yet at the same time...he wasn't wrong. She WAS trying to change, to move on from that time in her life. But at the same time, she didn't think it could be that simple. "Maybe…" she sighed, but didn't say anything else.
"...This makes what mine and Patamon's time feel like a cake walk," Takeru sighed.
Novice tried not to. Really he did, but his inner sadist decided to rear it's ugly head again, "Come now, you were crying at being alone, especially without your big brother around."
"You, what," Daisuke asked with an incredulous look. The frizzy haired teen looked like he was about to laugh.
"Daisuke, don't you dare," Hikari scolded the boy, before he could laugh at the youngest blond.
"...Sorry," Daisuke said, feeling a little down.
"It's okay, Daisuke," Takeru spoke up.
Patamon frowned a bit again, but ultimately didn't say anything, knowing this conversation was over. By now the lever crossings had been raised up again, allowing them to continue on their path. "Hm? Are those bubbles?" Patamon asked.
"It looks like it." Blake said with a raised eyebrow, before looking at where they were coming from, seeing what, at first glance, seemed to be a village of some sorts.
"The Primary Village," Patamon commented
"I wonder who's making all of those?" Patamon said as he looked towards the village as he and Blake continued on towards it.
"I guess we're about to find out." she said, noticing how the grass beneath her feet seemed to be getting softer the closer she got towards the village. At first she didn't think anything of it, but that soon changed when she took a step...and her foot promptly sank into the ground, before rebounding out, causing her to bounce in surprise, Patamon getting tossed out of her arms in the process. What followed was the two actually bouncing on momentum alone, sending them deeper into the village, and when they finally stopped, they were both flat on their backs. "That was...unexpected," Blake blinked, looking at Patamon who was lying next to her. A pause went through both of them, before Patamon snorted and started laughing, his partner likewise unable to suppress the chuckle bubbling out of her, as while that was a surprise, it was actually pretty fun.
"It was," Takeru admitted, remembering it fondly.
Sora and Mimi couldn't help giggling at the mental image of Takeru doing exactly what was just happened to Blake and having fun doing so. Yamato also chuckled in amusement.
After the mirth died down, Blake slowly got up, and took in the surroundings. They were in...well...the best she could describe was that this place looked like a child's heaven, not quite how Toytown was, but one all the same. Perhaps if Toytown was a place for everyone, this place looked like it was tailor made for toddlers, what with the large blocks, as well as the toys hanging from the trees, not to mention the soft bouncy ground.
"That's Primary Village for you," Tentomon commented.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say this place is a nursery." she said as she and Patamon started looking around for whatever had made all those bubbles.
"That's because it is," Palmon pointed out, earning small laughs.
"Um… I think it is." her partner said, having flown ahead a bit and looking around a tower of blocks.
Despite everyone seeing this joke coming this time, it still earned some laughs.
Blake followed after him, curious about his words, before blinking as she saw the largest collection of cribs ever.
Walking towards the collection of cribs, she glanced into several of them, always being met with a pair of eyes looking back up at her, all from different Digimon.
"Aww." All the girls cooed at the sight of the baby digimon. And all the guys cracked smiles. This of course included the digimon.
"These little guys are all Fresh Level, so, this has to be where the Digimon of File Island all come from." Patamon realised as he looked at a crib that had a Botamon in it.
"We probably shouldn't disturb them then," Blake said, knowing that disturbing a baby was a sure fire way to make them cry...and with how many there were…
And that made everyone wince at the thought.
"You're probably right," Patamon said, flapping away from the crib. Turning a little, he saw something else. "Ah, look over there," he said, flying towards what he saw, Blake carefully following after him.
What she saw, once again, made her blink, rubbing her eyes to make sure they weren't playing tricks on her, as she looked at a field of eggs.
"This… is not what I expected." she said slowly as she and Patamon walked through the egg field.
"These are all Digi Eggs," Patamon said. "They're Digimon that haven't hatched yet."
"So Digimon all come from eggs?" Blake blinked in mild surprise.
The Children all chuckled, remembering how they were all thrown for varying levels of loops about how every single digimon species came from eggs.
"Yeah," Patamon nodded. "Don't humans do the same?" he asked innocently.
"No we don't," Sora said with a small laugh.
"So how do they," Biyomon asked innocently, reminding Sora that she hadn't told her partner about how it works with humans.
"Uhh... I'll tell you later," Sora said quickly, earning small laughs out of everyone.
Although most of the other digimon looked thoughtful.
"This should be good," Novice thought, having glanced up from his work.
Blake opened her mouth a few times, trying to think of how to put it, before settling on simple "That's not the case for humans and faunus no."
"Then where do they come from?" Patamon asked, tilting his head.
"Yeah, where do humans come from," Agumon asked, not knowing himself. In fact, every single digimon who was now curious about it stared at their respective partners in curiosity. Making those who already had sex-ed look nervous.
However, "Humans come from-" Palmon was interrupted by a red faced Mimi covering her partner's mouth.
Blake covered her face, which was tinted red "I'll.. tell you another time."
"...Should I let them watch a document about it," Novice asked with an evil grin.
"NO!" the older children shouted in unison, causing Novice to cackle like a hyena.
"Okay," Patamon nodded, not quite understanding, but accepting. With that in mind, his attention returned to the eggs...and a note that was under one of them. "What's this?" he asked as he pulled it out from under the egg carefully.
"What does it say?" Blake asked curiously.
"It says…'Rub me'?" Patamon blinked. "Who do you think is asking to be rubbed?"
Blake thought about it for a moment, before slowly saying, "If I had to guess...the eggs I think…" she said.
"That's what I thought at the time," Takeru commented in mild embarrassment. Looking back, Takeru was a little embarrassed about a LOT of things.
"Oh… should we rub one then?" Patamon asked.
"Well… I am a bit curious." Blake muttered, picking up a white egg with yellow lines on it and starting to rub it, for what reason, she wasn't sure.
It started to shake in her hands after a few moments, and she slowly understood what was going on, before the top of the egg cracked and flew off, a small, white, jelly like creature coming out of it. "Huh, so that's what happens," Patamon blinked. "Though, I wonder where the cribs came from."
"Three, two, one," Patamon decided to countdown.
As if to answer his question, the egg shell vanished in a puff of smoke, and in its place was one of the many cribs.
"Okay...not the strangest things I've seen so far…" Blake admitted, before gently putting the crib down, careful not to disturb the newborn.
"Do you think we should rub the rest too?" Patamon asked.
"I don't think we should. A nursery like this must have a caretaker, and I don't think they'd appreciate it if we went and increased their workload just like that," Blake shook her head.
"Takeru, did you rub more than one," Yamato asked. This made Takeru look down in embarrassment.
"You did, didn't you," Gabumon said while crossing his arms.
"...Elecmon wasn't happy about it," Takeru admitted, feeling very stupid right now.
"You were a little kid, and didn't know any better," Novice said consolingly.
"That's true, I guess," Patamon deflated a little, but nodded all the same...before brightening again when a thought crossed his mind. "Think we should keep an eye on the babies while the caretaker is gone?"
Blake paused for a moment, considering it. "Well...I guess it wouldn't hurt. The babies we saw so far seem calm enough," she said with a light nod.
"...She's going to regret that," Patamon commented, remembering the disaster that was their care taking attempt.
Meanwhile, not too far away from the nursery, a stream ran through the land, and standing by it was what appeared to be an almost rabbit like creature, though it clearly had features from other mammals as well, having nine tails that looked like peacock feathers, claws on its hands and feet, it's fur being red with a blue pattern over most of its back while its belly was white.
"Is that Elecmon," Ken questioned aloud.
Digimon Analyzer: Elecmon
Elecmon. Data Type. A Child Level Mammal Digimon. Elecmon is a well known lover of harmless pranks, most of which other Digimon can appreciate and find enjoyment in. Similar to a peacock, he can fan out his nine feather like tails to intimidate opponents and avoid battle. His special attack is Sparkling Thunder, sending out a spiralling beam of lightning from it's tails.
"Yes it is," Hawkmon couldn't help jabbing at the boy.
Elecmon looked at the water intently, waiting for something. Suddenly he leaped into the air and… "Sparkling Thunder!" fired his attack into the water, causing it to ignite for a moment. Once he was done, he landed into the water, and in a quick motion began throwing out fishes he'd killed with his attack, and before long he had a large haul of fish. "Perfect," he said with a smile before putting them all on a large leaf and dragging it with him. "The babies must be hungry by now. Better get all these to them as fast as I can," he grinned, the feeling of satisfaction in doing his job as caretaker of the babies putting a spring into his step like it always did. However, when he got back...he was met with an odd sight.
He saw a Patamon, slumped on the ground, next to a group of smiling and laughing babies, all of them circling around a girl (though he didn't know what she was specifically) who was looking a bit overwhelmed, her eyes turning to him when he arrived and they just screamed 'Help me!'
Everyone laughed at Blake's and Patamon's poor state of being, Including Takeru and his Patamon despite being in a similar situation themselves.
Elecmon shook his head with a sigh "What is it with people thinking taking care of babies would be easy." he said, before grabbing one of the fishes and throwing it in a direction away from the girl, the babies turning to it and moving away from her.
Once the babies were gone, Blake slumped to the ground, but not before managing a quick 'thank you' to the Digimon who'd just arrived. From the looks of it, it seemed that he was the caretaker of this nursery….and boy did he come back at a good time. She would never look at infants the same way after what just happened.
"Oh come on, it couldn't have been that bad," Mimi scoffed at Blake's insight. She had taken care of baby digimon herself, and she didn't find it difficult.
"Don't mention it, though I really wish strangers didn't keep trying to take care of the babies when they have no idea what to expect. These little tykes are a lot harder to handle than most think," the Digimon chuckled.
"No they're not," Mimi complained a little.
"Kenelle on, kenelle ei(To whom it is, to whom it's not)," Novice stated, earning confused looks, "I said, to whom it is, to whom it's not."
Everyone that wasn't Mimi nodded in understanding.
"So I guess that makes you Elecmon, then?" Patamon said as he got up.
"That's me," Elecmon nodded. "Caretaker of Primary Village, easily one of if not the most important place in File Island," he said, with a puff of pride.
"I can understand why if this is where Digimon are born." Blake said, sitting up after a few moments. "Still...isn't it hard doing all this by yourself?"
"...Fair question," Wormmon commented.
"Well...yeah, but it's a job worth doing," Elecmon said with a grin.
"Well...think we can help a little?" Patamon asked, before adding, "With you teaching us of course."
"Heh. Maybe," Elecmon chuckled.
"This Elecmon is much more friendly than the one we met," Patamon commented.
"You weren't exactly nice yourself at the time," Novice pointed out.
"He started it," Patamon protested.
"And you continued," Takeru added in, before smiling, "Besides, it all turned out alright in the end."
Meanwhile, on a temple at the top of Infinity Mountain, Devimon appeared in the main hall, a frown present on his face. "It seems all of my attempts to kill the Chosen Children so far have failed," he frowned. "However, I still have a chance. All but one have evolved...as long as I eliminate this one, my plan can eventually go unimpeded," he smirked.
From the shadows, Ogremon and Leomon emerged. "Both of you, I want you to go to Primary Village. One of the Chosen Children is there. Eliminate her and her partner at all costs," he ordered.
"He really doesn't want to face Angemon," Armadimon commented.
"Angemon's attacks are super effective against dark digimon," Gatomon commented, which made everyone remember how the angel digimon was able to harm Myotismon, despite only being Adult level.
"You got it," Ogremon nodded.
"Chosen Children...destroy…" Leomon said blankly, before they soon disappeared into the shadows again, Devimon's evil laughter soon filling the room.
Ken looked down at hearing that laughter. Only to feel his hand being grabbed by Miyako.
"Ken, that isn't you anymore," the bespectacled girl said supportively.
"...Thank you," Ken said, feeling better from something so simple.
The day had went by quickly, as before long the sun was setting.
"That was more exhausting than I thought it would be." Blake said with a sigh as she sat down.
"I didn't think babies would be this bad." Patamon added, collapsing next to her.
"They're not that bad," Mimi said with a pout.
"To you maybe," Takeru thougth dryly.
"Well, it's clear you two aren't cut out for this business, I do appreciate the assist though, let me do more work than normal. Tell you what, I'll go look for some food as thanks, you just wait here." Elecmon told them, before running off with a smile.
Blake just had time to nod before he ran off, sighing as she just relaxed. However, before she and Patamon could properly relax, she heard something else. The sound of distress coming from another part of the nursery. "Something's wrong," Blake said suddenly.
"Oh, great, those two," Patamon complained, remembering all too well what was coming.
"Huh?" Patamon blinked.
"I heard something in another section of the nursery," she said quickly. "We need to check it out!" With that she soon took off, Patamon soon going after her.
What they saw, hidden in cover, wasn't a pleasant sight.
Leomon, sword in hand, scanning the area around him carefully, most likely looking for her, while Ogremon stood, his club in one hand, while the other held onto one of the newborn Digimon.
"Did they really use a baby as a hostage," Miyako asked with venom in her voice.
"Yes, but we managed to save it," Taichi said in an attempt to pacify the angry girl.
At that moment, the door to the room opened, allowing Impmon to enter.
"Wazzup! Decided to see if you were at any interesting part," the imp digimon said as he walked to Novice's chair and took a seat. "What's this thing," Impmon asked as he tried to make sense of what the Overseer was doing on the screen.
"Nunir," Novice replied simply.
"Nunir?" Impmon repeated in confusion. While all the Children and their digimon stared in confusion.
"Nunir effing business," Novice said with a grin.
Deciding to ignore the Overseer, Takeru continued reading.
"Come on out kid! Unless you're ok with knowing this little one is going to get hurt!" Ogremon called, looking around as he tried to spot her.
Blake felt a growl in her throat at the sight "Damn coward!" she hissed in anger.
"Darn straight," Mimi and Palmon growled in unison.
"You said it," Impmon added in, earning surprised looks.
"What? I got standards on how I wanna win," Impmon said in annoyance.
"We have to do something." Patamon said with an angry frown on his face.
"There's not much we CAN do, as I don't have my weapon, and even though it's proven true so far, I don't want to put myself in deliberate danger just on the off chance you'd evolve." Blake said with some annoyance.
"Unlike a certain someone," Yamato jabbed.
"Can we please forget that," Taichi said, knowing full well what Yamato was referring to.
"Taichi," Daisuke sounded out, "What's Yamato talking about?"
"I don't want to talk about it now," Taichi said with a tone of finality.
"But we can't just leave the babies alone either," Patamon frowned. "If only we could get it away from him…"
Blake's mind was racing at this point. There had to be something she could do. She wanted to save the newborn, but at the same time, a dark part of her mind reminded her that even if she DID do something like give herself up, there was no guarantee they'd do as they promised either. If only she could get...closer… "...I may have an idea," Blake said.
"You do? What is it?" Patamon asked.
"Hopefully it's a good one," Biyomon said in worry.
"Its to do with my Semblance," she said, before giving off a humorless chuckle. "Let's just say...I'm very good at running from danger when it comes down to it…"
"Huh?" Was the universal reaction.
"Well then, I guess you don't care what happens to this little squirt," Ogremon said, as Blake and Patamon still hadn't shown up.
"No, I'm here," came Blake's voice as she walked out from behind several blocks, the girl coming out alone.
"Umm... She does have a plan right," Hikari said in worry.
"I doubt Blake would come out if she didn't," Gatomon commented, before looking thoughtful, "Probably.
Ogremon blinked, thrown for a loop, apparently not expecting this, though he quickly recovered "O-Oh! Well, good then! For us that is!"
"...Is he serious," Hawkmon wondered aloud.
"Idiots, idiots everywhere," Impmon said with a sigh, "If you want minions, at least make sure they're smart enough to not get thrown on a loop that easily."
"...You sound experienced," Gomamon said in suspicion.
"More like knew those who did," Impmon corrected.
He saw her roll her eyes at his words, figuring she found him ridiculous, he decided to press his advantage "Get closer! Unless you want the little one to get squished of course?" he said...though if Blake looked carefully, he never actually started squeezing or anything beyond maintaining his grip on the baby.
Impmon slapped his face again," If you want to make threats, make sure you'll go through with them, or don't do them at all."
This earned the small imp suspicious looks. He just sounds way too sure of what he says for it to be mere boasting.
However, she didn't get much time to think about it, as Leomon was now standing over her, his sword raised. "Chosen Children….destroy!" he roared, bringing down his sword, intending to cut the girl in half. The blade fell, it hit her head...and she promptly vanished, and suddenly there was another of her, rolling out of the way from where the first had been.
"And that's her semblance, a clone," Novice said with a grin at everyone's surprised looks.
"Can we get ourselves auras," Daisuke suddenly asked eagerly.
"No," Novice replied sternly.
"Why not!" Daisuke whined.
Novice responded with a stern look, "Because I refuse to give you something that might cause more harm than good in the long run."
"What do you mean," Veemon asked in annoyance, while patting his put down partner's back.
"...What do you think your government would do if they figured out you have new kinds of superpowers," Novice asked with a sigh.
It took a moment for everyone to get the thoughts about the scary stories about government kidnapping people and experimenting on them to get rolling in their heads.
"Thought so," Novice said with finality at the terrified looks on their faces.
"Now!" Blake shouted the moment her Shadow Clone vanished.
Ogremon and Leomon stared at the spot where she'd been...until Ogremon felt something in his fingers, and turned to look. "Hey!" he growled when he saw Patamon trying to get the baby out of his grasp. Unfortunately it seemed his grasp was a bit stronger than expected, as while Patamon managed to get the baby out, he took too long. "Why you!" Ogremon growled, and just as the baby got out, he smacked Patamon aside with his club, knocking the small mon away.
"So the others aren't here for the rescue this time," Yamato said in worry.
"This time," Miyako questioned.
It was Taichi who took over,"Yamato and I arrived to save Takeru, Patamon and the baby digimon."
"Patamon!" Blake said in alarm...and left herself open for a moment that Leomon took advantage of.
"Fist of the Beast King!" he called out, firing his attack right at her. The attack hit, blowing her into a nearby wall, before she fell to the ground, her Aura breaking from the attack. She groaned as she struggled to get up, but when she did, she saw Leomon once more holding his sword over her, ready to strike her down, and this time, it would actually stick.
The Children and their digimon were looking with looks of worry and horror. Even Novice paused in his operations to watch the scene with an overly eager grin.
Time seemed to slow down for her as the sword came down on her, too dazed to get out of the way in time, her aura broken, she could only wonder, did she live a good life?
"I can't watch," Hikari exclaimed as she covered her eyes. With Iori following her example.
Just at that moment, something small, brown, got in between her and the sword. Patamon, she quickly realised.
"Leave us ALONE!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, and at that moment, Blake's Digivice shone.
(Play Brave Heart)
The Digivice sent out a signal, calling forth the light that released the stream of data one last time.
"What!?" Everyone except Novice shouted in surprise. The title did clue them in, but it somehow didn't diminish the surprise that came from Patamon evolving sooner with Remnantians.
"Patamon, Evolution!" Patamon called out as the data and light flowed into him, before he transformed. "Angemon!" Patamon's evolution was far more radical than any of the others in the group. Gone was the small guinea pig like creature and in his place was a man who stood roughly between 9 and 10 feet tall, donned in a white outfit covering his whole body, a blue cloth draping down from a belt, and two more, one around his left arm and one around his right leg. His left shoulder sporting a golden pad reminiscent of the sun, metallic, golden wings on his left leg and foot, while a cross was on his right foot. A grey helmet covered the top portion of his head, a cross incorporated into it, as long orange hair spilled forth from the back, while six, large white wings shot out from his upper back, a golden staff in his hand as he blocked Leomon's sword with it. For some reason, Blake could almost swear she heard the ringing of bells as her partner evolved.
Digimon Analyzer: Angemon
Angemon. Vaccine Type. An Adult Level Angel Digimon. A being of perfect virtue, Angemon is known as a Digimon to bring happiness and protect others against the darkness. When fighting an enemy, he faces them with the utmost calm until they are completely destroyed. His special attack is Heaven's Knuckle, charging his fist with holy energy, it has both a short range and long range version that causes the energy to be released upon the opponent.
"...Would Patamon have evolved if Yamato and the others hadn't come to save me," Takeru asked Novice.
The Overseer shrug, "Probably. Who knows, but I don't think Yamato would've liked you being in danger."
"You're darn right about that," Yamato said sternly, before his look softened, "Even though... things might've ended differently that way."
"Yeah," Sora said with a smile,"With Angemon already part of the team, Devimon should be easier to beat."
"You will not harm Blake!" Angemon declared, before pushing back against the sword, knocking it away, before slamming his staff into Leomon's gut, the blow pushing him back considerably.
Leomon grunted before firing his Fist of the Beast King in retaliation...only for Angemon to effortlessly block it by spinning his staff.
"S-seriously?!" Ogremon gasped at the sight, unconsciously taking a step back.
"At this point, Angemon is arguably the strongest of our partners," Koshiro commented, remembering how the angel digimon was even able to score a critical hit against Myotismon.
"...That's debatable," Gatomon commented with a mild grumble.
"You're not jealous are you," Hikari asked her partner teasingly.
"No I'm not," Gatomon said hastily.
Likewise, Blake was speechless at how easily Angemon fended off an attack that they'd already seen in the past had great power.
However, not everyone watching the fight was in awe at the show of power…
"...useless fools," Devimon frowned. "I gave them one job, and they fail even that. Very well, I suppose it's time I made full use of my puppet," he said, before with a thought, several Black Gears went flying, going straight for Primary Village.
"What's he doing now," Ken asked in worry.
"He's planning on using the gears to power up Leomon," Gabumon commented.
Back at the fight, Leomon was pushed back again from a failed attempt to strike at Angemon, but before he could recover, he cried out in pain as a number of Black Gears entered his back. Immediately the evil power filled his being, his skin growing paler and his hair turning black, while his body started to grow till he was almost twice his original size.
"This is…!" Angemon said in alarm, before he quickly grabbed Blake, and avoided a large Fist of the Beast King headed her way. By now fortunately they'd taken the fight outside of the nursery, so none of the babies were in danger (it helped Elecmon had returned in the midst of the fight, and had evacuated the babies while Ogremon and Leomon's attentions were on Angemon).
"Good thinking on that," Miyako said in relief.
"I didn't know the Black Gears could do that," Blake couldn't help but say, eyes wide at the sight.
"We were surprised too," Agumon commented.
"The power in the gears is amplifying the power of the evil will controlling Leomon. If we are to save him, the evil must be extinguished," Angemon said, placing Blake a safe distance away.
Despite the situation, Blake couldn't help but quirk her eyebrow at hearing him speak. She knew most of the Digimon went through some personality changes when they evolved, usually becoming a bit more mature, but Angemon seemed almost completely different from Patamon. Not to mention he sounded a whole lot more regal. However, she decided not to voice it seeing as there were, quite literally, bigger things to worry about.
"He kind of is," Takeru commented while petting his best friend.
Once his partner was secure, Angemon went back to the fight, Leomon attempting to hit him, though the nimble angel proved a difficult target. However, at the same time Angemon found trying to find an opening to retaliate to be harder than expected, as while Leomon had grown larger and stronger, he hadn't lost any of his speed, meaning the fight was now at a stalemate.
"Big, strong, fast. A super deadly combination," Impmon commented as he remembered the one time he was awake at the wrong time.
However, at that moment…
"Meteor Wing!" a familiar set of meteors impacted against Leomon, knocking him off balance.
"Mega Flame!"
"V-Breath Arrow!"
"So the cavalry finally arrived," Armadimon commented.
The two attacks impacted against Leomon, further pushing him back.
"I dunno who you are, but if you got something planned, do it now!" came Gyro's voice from one of Birdramon's legs, as he, Pierce, and Yang were hanging from it.
Angemon nodded, before turning to Leomon. Raising his right hand, it started to glow with holy power. "Now, I free you from the evil will!" Angemon declared, before he surged forward. "Heaven's Knuckle!" he landed a strong blow to Leomon's gut, the energy releasing through his being, before coming out from his back, the Black Gears along with a dark phantom being blown out along with it before all of them vanished into the light.
The Children and the digimon let out a small cheer at Leomon being free once again.
(End song)
Ogremon, who had been more or less sidelined the entire fight on account of not exactly wanting to get caught in the crossfire looked at the situation carefully. "Well...this looks bad. In that case, time for my final move," Ogremon said...before doing an about face, and running away. "He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day!" he laughed.
That earned some laughs.
"He's not entirely wrong," Koshiro managed to say through his laughter.
"He's still a wimp," Impmon mocked the ogre digimon, while slamming his hand on the armrest.
"Is he for real?" Blake deadpanned from her spot at the sight of the fleeing ogre. At the same time Birdramon flew closer, depositing her friends.
"Trust me, I realised he's that kind of moron last night." Gyro said with a twitching eyebrow as he looked at the same sight.
"Hey, where's Patamon?" Yang wondered, looking around in confusion.
"Is he hiding?" Pierce added, just as confused.
"Hey!"Patamon protested.
"Calm down Patamon," Takeru said sympathetically.
In response, Blake looked a bit awkwardly at Angemon.
They followed her gaze, and it took them a total of two seconds to process the truth. "Holy shit, seriously?!" Gyro exclaimed in shock.
"Yeah, I was surprised too," Blake admitted.
"It's not that surprising, right," Patamon asked, looking a little put out.
"Sorry, but it is," Daisuke said, remembering his own reaction the first time he saw Angemon.
"But seriously...how the heck does a small guinea pig with bat wings turn into well…" Pierce gestured at Angemon for emphasis.
"We stopped asking that," Jo said, earning snorts from others. And a frown from Patamon.
"I think we got bigger things to worry about though," Yang said, pointing at Leomon who'd fallen to his knees and was shrinking down now.
"Right. Hopefully tall dark and ugly doesn't turn him evil again," Gyro nodded as the four of them soon went down to check on Leomon, their partners reverting after the fight.
When they reached Leomon, he was rubbing his head with a groan. "Thank you," he managed to say. "And I greatly apologize for everything I tried to do under Devimon's control." It seemed he was also somewhat aware while he was being controlled.
"Eh, its fine," Pierce waved off. "If you wanna make it up to us, help us kick Devimon's ass to next year."
"THAT, I can agree with whole heartedly," Leomon smirked.
"Don't we all," Taichi commented, earning more snorts.
"Though...we should probably wait for the others. Knowing them, they'll probably be on their way by now," Gyro said.
As if on cue, the group were treated to the sound of buzzing wings in the air, making them look up to see not only Kabuterimon, carrying Weiss, Ruby and Palmon, but also Stingmon, who had Ren, Nora and Salamon in his arms. "Huh...convenient," Gyro blinked.
"As usual." Was the common thought among the Children.
A few minutes of regrouping later, as well as everyone seeing Blake scowl at the damage to her now returned weapon, as well as Leomon receiving the tablet Ren and Nora had obtained, found the group sitting under a tree near the edge of the Primary Village, Elecmon cleaning things up after the fight.
"As Centarumon mentioned to two of you earlier today, the coming of the Chosen Children was foretold millenia ago during the dawn of the Digital World, it was said they would arrive when we would need them most, and I can't think of a more perfect time for you all to have arrived." Leomon explained.
"So, I'm guessing that the Digivices were kind of like heralds of our arrival then." Pierce said as he looked at the device in his hand.
"What I'm curious about is when Centarumon said they can evolve just like Digimon." Weiss mused.
That was something the Children were also curious about, which led to...
"Hey, Novice. Why is your digivice different from before," Iori asked the question they forgot to ask before.
"...I asked Swift if he knew which digivice would suit my purposes. He instead gave me an upgrade," Novice replied, sounding a little down.
"You don't sound very happy about it," Veemon said in suspicion.
"That's because I don't want to rely on other people too much," Novice replied simply, before frowning, "Although he wanted me to hand over... Nevermind." It seemed like the Overseer chose not to reveal the deal he made with Swift that he wasn't happy about, but if anyone could handle those four it's Swift.
Impmon gave the human a highly suspicious look.
"Moving on." Novice then said, catching the imp's look.
"We may have seen something like that earlier, albeit an already evolved one." Gyro said "There's another human in this world, he's been here for at least 10 years."
"You speak of Frigimon's son, correct? She has told me about him before." Leomon realised.
"I'm rather surprised we aren't the only ones here." Ren said, a bit surprised.
"Or the first ones," Hikari commented, which made her question again, "Are there any other humans or faunus in that digital world?"
Novice looked thoughtful for a moment,"If there are, I don't know about them. Besides those two." That last one was added in his head.
"Yeah, well, that's not even the half of it." Yang said with a sigh, remembering the story Frigimon had told them this morning.
"You know, I wonder what'll happen after we beat Devimon?" Ruby wondered.
"Well… will the Digital World still need us?" Nora asked, making the others blink at the valid question.
"Yes, because Devimon isn't the ultimate evil," Gomamon joked, which unfortunately wasn't funny to the others.
"Not funny." Mimi and Palmon said in unison.
"Perhaps it won't, there's no way to know for sure right now." Salamon mused, shaking her head at the end.
"It...is a possibility," Weiss mused. "If we were brought here to end the evil plaguing this world, then it would make sense that we would no longer be needed once that function is fulfilled."
"So...we save the world, then we can go home?" Ruby asked.
"...possibly," Weiss sighed.
"...That was what we thought at the time," Taichi admitted as he glanced at everyone else. Earning various sounds or motions of confirmation from them in the process.
"Doesn't seem like such a bad deal," Pierce shrugged. "I mean, we WERE planning to beat Devimon anyway. Not to mention no way we'd leave this world hanging just to go home, right guys?"
Mimi looked a little down for some reason.
"I don't think you would've done that even if you did get a chance," Novice spoke up, "I mean, you had more than one chance to forget the digital world and ignore all the poor digimon. But you didn't take any of them."
Mimi couldn't help smiling at the vote of confidence.
"Yeah! Let's go and kick butt!" Veemon shouted.
"There's a lot more of us than there are of him." Wormmon added.
"We'll teach him not to mess with our home!" Biyomon cheered.
"I'm gonna punch him so hard he's gonna get TKO'd!" Palmon said, throwing a few jabs.
"TKO'd?" Hawkmon asked.
"Totally Knocked Out," Palmon said before Novice could.
"I guess they're more alike than I thought," the Overseer thought.
"Alright, we're all in agreement then, let's go and beat Devimon!" Agumon shouted as he raised his claw high.
With that said, it didn't take long for the group to get to the base of Mount Infinity, slowly starting the climb up to the top, and towards the final battle against Devimon.
"...I wonder if this fight will end up differently," Takeru couldn't help saying aloud.
"I'm sure it will," Gabumon said supportively.
"I still think we should have waited for Jaune and the others." Ruby said in a bit of worry.
"Don't worry, I'm positive they were heading here themselves, they'll catch up to us in no time." Gyro reassured her, earning a somewhat nervous smile from the silver-eyed girl.
At the same time, at the top of the mountain, Devimon growled as he smashed the gear that acted as a viewing glass for him, a snarl on his face "Meddlesome children. Useless fools. It seems if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself." he said, before he turned to the remaining Black Gears. "Come to me, oh powers of darkness!" he called out, the few Black Gears that remained in his palace like home flew into him… and then more came from outside, so many that were all visible to the group climbing up the mountain, as well as to those who were still on their way. It seemed as if just about every single Black Gear spread through the Island were now gathering into one place.
"It looks like Devimon finally got it," Impmon commented in annoyance, "I mean, where's the joy of using minions when you can beat your enemies up yourself."
"...Okay, why do you sound like you're speaking from experience.
"Because-OW!" Impmon was interrupted by a hit from the Stick of Wisdom on the head.
"A question for later kids," Novice said while giving the grumbling imp a meaningful look.
The Children and their digimon had suspicious looks, but Takeru continued reading anyway.
Before the group had even reached the halfway point, the top of the mountain exploded, and Devimon appeared, now a giant that towered over all of them, so much so, a good portion of the mountain was pretty much gone by the time he fully emerged.
"And there he is now," Takeru said, as memories of the time that form terrified him returned. And he wasn't the only one.
"Your first real enemy was that big," Miyako asked in disbelief. Sure Kimeramon was big too, but it didn't look as scary.
"Okay...where's a Megazord when you need one…?" was the weak joke Pierce managed as the group realized the rather daunting task they had ahead of them.
"Megazord?" Blake quirked an eyebrow.
"Giant robot," Pierce quickly explained.
"That would've been useful," Daisuke said as he had a mental image of a giant robot facing the mega-sized Devimon.
"Ah...yeah, that would have been useful," Blake nodded.
Devimon soon spread his now titanic wings and soon landed at the base of the mountain, and even then he towered over them still.
"How did he get so big?!" Ren asked in alarm.
"Its the power of darkness! He must have drawn all of it to him!" Leomon said.
"Well, look at it this way guys. The bigger they are, the harder the fall!" Gyro encouraged.
"Darn straight," Impmon commented as he rubbed his abused head, while glaring at Novice.
"Yeah, let's get him!" Agumon agreed. However, before they could start to attack, they were stopped by a sudden wave of dark energy, forcing them against the mountain side.
"Devimon!" Leomon growled, before he too was hit with a blast of dark energy, one that pushed him back till he fell off the other side of the mountain.
"Leomon!" the hunters and Digimon shouted in alarm, but they soon had bigger things to worry about as they felt the energy hitting them intensify a little.
"That monster," Biyomon commented with a glare, which was shared by everyone who faced the evil digimon.
"Fools! All you've done is walk to your own doom. This place shall be your graves!" Devimon declared as he continued the flow of dark energy.
He was about to increase the output, until…
"Harpoon Vulcan!"
"Fox Fire!"
"And there's our others," Gomamon said with a cheer.
A volley of missiles and a blue flame slammed into his back, cutting his concentration, before something suddenly stabbed his leg, while he felt another thing claw at his back and bite one of his wings, making him growl in annoyance as he tried to shake it off.
"That's Ikkakumon and Garurumon!" Weiss quickly noticed.
"Guys!" they all heard, making them turn to see Jaune running up towards them with Pyrrha following next to him "Now's your chance! While he's distracted!"
"Right, you heard him everyone! Time to evolve!" Gyro said.
(Play Brave Heart)
"Agumon, Evolution! Greymon!"
"Palmon, Evolution! Togemon!"
"Wormmon, Evolution! Stingmon!"
"Biyomon, Evolution! Birdramon!"
"Tentomon, Evolution! Kabuterimon!"
"Salamon, Evolution! Gatomon!"
"Veemon, Evolution! Veedramon!"
"Patamon, Evolution! Angemon!"
It was Angemon's evolution that made everyone smile. Sure, the fight was 10 against 1, but Angemon who Devimon was practivally allergic against should make the most difference.
When the light subsided, Devimon found himself surrounded by all 10 of the Chosen Digimon, all in adult form. "Damn! I was so close!" he growled. "No matter, even with all 10 of you gathered, it won't change anything!"
"Says you," Patamon commented with an uncharacteristically evil grin.
"No, Devimon, that's where you're wrong," Angemon said. "This is where we will put an end to your twisted ambitions!"
"Get ready you bastard, we're taking File Island back!" Greymon growled, earning various sounds of agreement from the others.
"Mega Flame!"
"Get him!" Agumon cheered his other.
"Fox Fire!"
"Go for it!" Gabumon joined in.
The two attacks hit Devimon, but he blocked it with his arm, before Garurumon jumped onto his arm and started biting down, while Greymon grabbed hold of his right leg. Devimon growled as he was about to throw them both aside, but before he could...
"Meteor Wing!"
"Yes!" Biyomon cheered.
"Mega Blaster!"
"Shock him!" Tentomon joined Biyomon.
Birdramon and Kabuterimon peppered him with their attacks, obscuring his vision with the smoke, but when it started to clear…
"Spiking Finish!"
"Go!" Wormmon cheered, before realizing what he did and blushing. Not that anyone cared at the moment.
"Neko Punch!"
Gatomon smirked at the sight.
He growled in pain as the two attacks struck him in the chest, pushing him back a little, while behind him, Ikkakumon, Togemon, and Veedramon were already prepared.
"Needle Spray!"
"Harpoon Vulcan!"
"V-Breath Arrow!"
"Take him down!" Gomamon, Palmon and Veemon cheered in unison.
The three attacks impacted on his back, causing him to roar in anger, before in a single sweep, he blew them all back. "Fools! Did you really think those would work?" he laughed.
"Wasn't really trying to!" Garurumon said with a smirk.
"We just needed to keep your attention!" Gatomon grinned.
"What?!" Devimon gasped in alarm, right before…
"Heaven's Knuckle!" Angemon called out, this time firing his attack in a beam of holy light, smashing into Devimon's torso, causing him to roar and double over in pain, some of the Black Gears he'd absorbed leaving his body and shattering.
"It looks like Angemon won't have to sacrifice himself," Yamato said with a smile at the damage Devimon took.
"Damn you…!" he growled, glaring at them all hatefully.
"Devimon, this is the end," Angemon declared. "Now everyone, let us bring an end to his evil!"
"You got it!" Everyone, humans and Digimon agreed.
In response, Angemon raised his staff over his head. "Come to us, O Holy Power!"
"What!?" Takeru cried out, "But they're winning!"
"Calm down and keep reading," Novice told the Chosen of Hope.
The Digivices all glowed brightly, before beams of light shot out of them, and hit their respective partners, all of them soon glowing with holy power.
"What?" Came out of all the Children and their partners for varying reasons.
"S-stop it!" Devimon gasped, shielding his eyes from the bright light.
"Did Angemon direct the power of the digivices into their partners?" Koshiro wondered aloud.
"No way, you're gonna get EVERYTHING you deserve, you bastard!" Veedramon growled, before they all let loose their attacks.
"Mega Flame!"
"Fox Fire!"
"Neko Punch!"
"Meteor Wing!"
"Mega Blaster!'
"Needle Spray!"
"Spiking Finish!"
"V-Breath Arrow!"
"Harpoon Vulcan!"
"Heaven's Knuckle!"
The attacks all met their mark, and where they did, the holy powers empowering the Digimon further were released in a massive surge of energy. Devimon roared in pain as every fiber of his being was hit with the light, destroying every last trace of his power, a fact that was visually shown by a massive burst of light that forced the Hunters to shield their eyes for a moment. When it was over, their partners were once more by their side, having reverted to their child forms, and before them, Devimon's body was breaking apart into fragments of data.
"Curse you, Chosen Children!" he glared hatefully. "But don't think you've won. Even if you defeat me, dark powers are gathering across the ocean, held by Digimon far more powerful than I! Enjoy your victory while it lasts, for when all is said and done all of you WILL perish!" he said, before letting out one last evil laugh as he faded completely. And with that, the battle for File Island was won.
(Song end)
With that last part, the book shut itself again. Then Patamon felt himself picked up by Takeru.
"Patamon, why didn't you do that when we fought Devimon?" The question wasn't even accusatory, but it was still demanding.
But it looked like poor Patamon was unable to answer.
However, Novice did, "It may have not been enough."
"What?" Came out of Takeru.
Novice sighed, "Let me explain. In your fight, you guys were all ready beaten. So if Angemon had gathered the holy power on all of you, the best that would've happened would've been all of you being restored to your full power. And that might not have been enough." Then the Overseer took a more grim expression, "Or worse, everyone's beaten bodies might've not been able to withstand it. Angemon did what he thought was best without risking anyone but himself."
"...Why would the holy power have hurt them," Hikari decided to ask.
"Because that power was raw and unrestrained. The Black Gears, that Devimon used were modified dark energy, which is why he was able to withstand it." The last part was added, because Novice felt like they would ask it anyway. Although that last part was just a theory.
Takeru let out a long sigh,"I'm sorry Patamon."
"It's okay." The small mon said happily.
Novice smiled at the sight, before checking something on his screen that he had left on. "Sitten hommiin(Then to work)." The Overseer thought as he got up off his seat, "Everyone, we're taking a small break right now. Same rules apply, you can do any activities you want."
"Hey wait! Why aren't you simply letting Wisemon take over this time?" Sora then asked.
Novice let out a sigh, "Because I don't want to miss anymore reactions you might have. That one time was... beyond my control." The Overseer blushed at the last part, before shaking his head. "Besides, I should be done before you miss me." With that, Novice disappeared again in glowing blue particles.
"...Is it just me or does he use different teleportation methods," Daisuke asked, seeing as he didn't use shadows to disappear this time.
"No, he does do that, but why?" Koshiro questioned in suspicion.
But none were more suspicious than Impmon, "What is he doing?"
