Legend Status

As I sat with Kiriha, Nene, Yuu, and now Tagiru and Angie, we thought about had happened that day.

Me and Tagiru had decided to go digimon hunting, but we somehow got split up. As I wandered around, looking for him, I came to a dead end. I turned around to find a shadow coming my way. It was like nothing I'd seen before. As far as I can tell, it was a slimy, massive slug. And that was before it came around the corner. It was a hideous green, with ropes of slime dangling down from its mouth and body. But worst of all was its smell. It was like rotten eggs left in the sun for weeks, but then mixed with gym class cloths, and puke left in a locker for months. Almost immediately I doubled up, and puked all over the place.

Then I heard something strange. It was like a toilet that had been clogged, and water is pushing up trying to unclog itself. Then I realized it was the monster laughing. It held up two globs of goop, and I thought for a second it was going to smash me with them.

Then something worse happened. Several spikes popped out of each glob, and I knew right away, if I was hit with those, I was a dead man. I spotted Tagiru at the end of the street, but had a look on his face I'd never seen before. It was like he wanted to do something, but couldn't. Just then, the slime monster swung both of its globs with spikes, strait at me. I closed my eyes, and waited for something to happen. Then something hit me in the chest, smashing me into the back wall. Thankfully, it hadn't killed me. Maybe I had been hit in the space between the spikes.

Finally, Tagiru did something. He picked up a rock, and threw it at gooey, and shouted, "Hey! Pick on someone your own size, you glob of goo!" Oh, boy, that got gooey's attention. The rock simply sunk into gooey's back, but he heard the shout. As he turned around, I knew Tagiru had just gotten himself in too much trouble. I felt something rising within me, something… ancient. Powerful. Almost like a presence. It was ten times older than I would ever be. I stood up and shouted, "Legend's Sword!" as I did so; I felt a sword appear in my hands. I leapt up to above gooey's head, and brought the sword down, right on top of his head. I expected it to go right into his body, where I couldn't reach it, or bounce off. But instead it cut strait though his body and I landed gracefully on my feet. I stood up, and asked Tagiru, "Are you alright?" After shutting his mouth, he asked in a weak voice, "Have you looked at yourself lately?" Questioning him, I looked down. But what I saw scared me. There was a hole, right through my chest. All around the wound, there was a water like substance, only thicker. Almost like blood. The sword dropped from my hands. Then everything went black.

I woke up on the couch in Yuu's living room. There was a bandage on my chest, and I could hear people arguing. I got up, and headed into the kitchen, where the voices were. As I walked into the room, Kiriha and Tagiru were literally head to head in that argument. Tagiru punched Kiriha in the arm, and in retaliation, Kiriha punched Tagiru in the face, hard. Then he stomped out of the room. Angie and Yuu rushed over to me, and insisted I get in bed. "Guys, I'm fine, there's no need to worry. Please stop bugging me, ok?" Thing is, they didn't stop.

When I wouldn't come with them by choice, they dragged me into an empty bedroom, where they forced me to lie down on the bed. All the time they were saying things like, 'shush, everything's gonna be ok' and 'just calm down, calm down'. It was pretty annoying. After they got me on the bed, Angie left the room, and Yuu began to unwind the bandages around my chest. I decided to let them do what they wanted and to not fight them. After all, that same, I don't know, presence might appear again and I'll do the same thing to them as I did to gooey. After getting them all off me, he gasped. "No way. I swear to the lord al…" he didn't finish his sentence, because I just found that really, really disrespectful, for some random reason. I just sat up and punched him in the face. "I don't want to hear you talk like that again, understand?" he nodded, and I realized I had scared him. I knelt next to him and helped him to his feet, apologizing. I also explained why I did that. After a few seconds, I decided to tell him about what I had felt when I killed the slime monster. He seemed so surprised about what I said, I could tell he didn't believe be. "I guess, you'd better get to bed then." He said. I nodded.

Before I could touch the covers, however, there was a shout. "Yuu! Get in here now! Somethings wrong with Kiriha!" I heard Nene yell. Both I and Yuu raced into the room, where something was definitely wrong with Kiriha.

For one, he was in some extreme pain. Two, I noticed his clothing looked really tight. I reached over and got his shirt off him. After a second Yuu and Nene noticed as well, and began to help me. But before we could get them all off him he gave a yell, and he ripped through his clothing, as he grew bigger. I noticed other changes as well, like the fact that his legs were growing shorter, perfect for running on four legs. Then his hair started spreading, as well as turning a golden color. While Nene and Yuu were backing off, I knelt next to him, and said, "Hey, listen, I don't want you to fight it, ok? Just let it happen. We'll find a way to get you back to normal." He looked at me and the process seemed to speed up. I noticed his eyes going yellow, his pupils turning to slits, like a cats. His hands were growing fur, as well as his feet. Both had grown claws, and his fingers had grown together, to form paws. The fur was spreading to the rest of his body, and something poked out of his behind, and I knew it was the beginning of a tail. His hair had grown around his neck, and gotten longer as well. By this time, his tail had fully grown, and there was fur all around the end of it.

Then, as soon as it started, it was over. And there, before our very eyes, was Kiriha, who was now a lion. "Hey, Nene, can you get him something to eat and drink? That must be a lot of work." Nene rushed out into the next room, and Yuu followed. They returned a few seconds later, Yuu with a bowl of water, Nene with a hunk of raw meat. Kiriha took them gratefully, then turned to me, and pressed his face to mine.

All night long, I stayed up with him, and kept him company. At sunrise, he started to change back. I called to Nene and Yuu, who had gotten up early. They had worry on their faces, but then I said, "I think he's changing back." Sure enough, the fur was disappearing as well as the paws, mane, tail and the eyes turned back to normal. After a little while, there was Kiriha, gasping for air, and Yuu rushed over and put a blanket over him. "Come on. Bed time for the King of Beasts." I helped him into an empty bedroom, and helped him get into bed. I also left some clothing out for him when he woke up. Oh, well. Time for school. And time to take a nap in the middle of class.
