2110: Digital War
By DstarChapter 2: Those who Fight Back
The sight of a strange teen hovering above her had Ayoya scrambling to the back of the room. A scream pierced the air and Mina woke with a start from her sleep. She too saw the teen and found herself shrieking and next to Ayoya in a second. Ayoya's hand went to her gun and she held it up pointing it at the strange teen. The teen backed up hands in the air his mind just as confused as the two girls, when he had arrived here, a friend he had not seen here in god knows how long next to him, Matt, Sora, and Mimi gone he had found himself at a lose for words. But that wasn't the end of his confusion, when he had reached into his pocket and pulled out an item shaped in the way of a cell phone, but with different buttons and no numbers he had sought out the closest place he could find. And it was thus that he found Ayoya and planned, in the best way he could, to ask her when in the hell he was. Now with a gun aimed at his head he stopped dead in his tracks, "Who in the hell are you? I had two guards stationed outside my house, how did you get in?"
A incredulous look passed over Tai's features, "I didn't see any. Listen I just wanted to talk."
Ayoya kept her gun trained on Tai, "I'm the leader of the 34th squad of the Rebellion, what is there to talk about? In a few hours the hostiles will be here and we will all be dead."
Having recovered from her shock Mina too dug into her jacket pocket and pulled out the gun that Ayoya had given her. For emergencies she had been told, and with a teen that she hardly knew in her house, their house she reminded herself, it seemed like an ample time to use it. Ayoya turned to her, "It's okay, I've got this, no need to scare him even more than he is."
At this the alarms went off a blaring sound filled the compound. Ayoya dropped her gun and looked out of the door, and then back at Tai, he looked at her, "What's happening?"
"Stay here, I'll be right back."
She and Mina ran out of the house and looked out past the fencing mesh and bit her lip. The forest was a flame and twelve of the hostiles, including the one that she had seen take her father to his death, the one who had been called Renu leading them. She looked up at the man standing guard and he looked back down at her, reading her face quickly, "We have five minutes, hurry up."
As soon as Ayoya disappeared Tai ran outside the bush behind him moved and he smiled, "You can come out now."
The bush shook a few times and his digimon from eight years ago stepped out, "What's going on?"
"I don't know."
The alarm had also brought many others out of their houses, and one of them happened to be Sora, lead at gun point. She was holding a shivering Yokomon. The digimon was obviously scared and the men who kept looking down at the digimon disgust in their faces. Sora noticed him and called out, "Tai!"
One of the men reached out and slapped her across the face using the butt of his gun. She fell down into the ground her face hitting the ground. She looked up at him, face covered in dust. Yokomon however flew from her hands and landed far away from her. The men quickly advanced. Tai's eyes widened, before the men could get any closer an explosion sounded and the gate Tai had seen when he had arrived crashed to the ground. Inside his pocked the cell phone shaped object started buzzing. He pulled it out and flipped it open. A screen appeared in front of him. And on it was a shape he swore he would never see again, the symbol of the sun glared back at him. The symbol disappeared just at Renu stepped into the compound. And then the screen brought up new data, there was a picture of Renu, the heading read: Name: Renumon Level: Champion. He looked left at Sora who was holding the same sort of device with the same picture.
Renumon smirked and her fingers let out beams of light, they killed the man guarding the wall instantly. Dust scattered everywhere and Renumon held out her arm, the dust seemed wrap around her arm and then up her body. Here eyes became misted over with power. She seemed to glance around the compound at the scattering humans and her eyes landed on Ayoya, "You! You were the little pest that escaped last time, this time however will be different."
She charged and Tai and little but five seconds to think, he looked left at his companion, "Go."
Eyes wide Ayoya watched Renumon as the female digimon charged her. She put up her hands to shield from attack but none came. She opened her eyes to find a hostile in front of here. Renumon had stopped her charge and looked down at Agumon, "And just what do you think you're doing?"
Behind him Sora had arrived at his side, Yokomon no longer Yokomon but Biomon. She smiled at him and turned to face the battle. Ayoya on the other hand was stunned, a hostile, one she had never seen, nor heard of, was defending her, defending! She had heard of such things from those who had lived before the invasion, but had never really seen it happen. The hostile in front of her spoke in a child like voice, "What's right."
"My dear peon, you dare go against the Masters?"
That same voice that sounded so child like then spoke in a manner so unchild like that Ayoya wondered how old the hostile really was, "I have no masters, only friends."
An arm lashed out and caught Agumon across the face and sent him barreling into one of the houses. He stood up his body already tired from fatigue, Renumon glared and sneered, "Where are you from?"
"A place where you should be," Tai's voice came out strong among the crowd, "How you got out I don't know, but I'll be sure to put you back in."
"Not when I have these you won't."
Six other digimon appeared behind her and Renu smiled. Next to Tai Sora spoke up, "You might have more fire power, but that doesn't always guarantee a win."
By now the objects that Tai had identified as something close to the digivices of old were shaking in both of Sora's and Tai's hand's just begging to be used. A spark of light flew from hers and a spark of light flew from his and in front of them two data chips appeared, on them the symbol of the sun and the symbol a heart crafted on them. Both of their hands reached out and grabbed them, and then as if some unknown force was guiding them they inserted them into a blank slot on the sides of the digivices. At this light poured from all directions.
Fear gripped Renumon as tales she had been told as a young digihatchling came back to her. She had been told of the story of the death and slaughter of the digidestin, the last thing standing in the way for the Masters, of how when the last digidestin had been killed a glorious day dawned. The Masters had become the rulers of the land that day. Her hands shook, they were dead, they had to be. But the light that came from these two teens spoke differently and suddenly she truly feared, "You can't be! We killed you! Killed you all!"
But it was to no avail. The light engulfed the reservation and Tai and Sora spoke at the same time, "Agumon, Biomon! Digivolve!"
The same light that had engulfed Tai now seemed to take over Agumon, his body started to glow and his shape began to change going from small to huge in under five seconds, a booming voice was heard through out the camp, "Agumon, digivolve to Greymon!"
Light took over Biomon too and her shape started to change as well, "Biomon digivolve to Birdamon!"
A flick of the wrist and all the digimon behind Renumon flew at Birdamon and Greymon. She looked at Tai and Sora and then spit the name out with venom, "Digidestin. You're slime, all of you are slime."
Both Greymon and Birdamon seemed to be holding their own but Tai and Sora knew better, they were losing ground and quickly. Two champion digimon verses six did not an equal match make, "Were not going to win this Tai, not with out…"
She was interrupted by the sound of a voice, "Howling Blaster!"
One of the digimon disappeared in an explosion of data, another voice sounded, "Needle Spray!"
The digimon that Greymon had been grappling with also disappeared. Behind them Matt and Mimi appeared digivices held up high, their symbols shinning. Free from the digimon that he was fighting Greymon turned around and attacked a digimon behind him, "Nova Blast!"
It caught the digimon and it too went up in data, Ayoya watched in fascination as the hostiles attacked each other and then caught the eye of Renumon. The digimon seemed to be scowling. A four attack erupted from the hostile that looked like a giant bird, "Meteor Wing!"
A flash of fire consumed the digimon behind her, Mina ran up to her friend amongst the chaos, "What's going on?"
"I… I really don't know. The hostiles are helping us. I don't get it as much as you do, but for now, I think were safe. And those teens trust them."
"But how do we know those teens are helping us, they could turn on us! They have hostiles! Who in their right mind works with hostiles?" Mina asked her voice shaking.
"Maybe they're good, maybe they're the ones spoke of by the elders."
That thought had not occurred to Mina, "Do you really think so? I though that they were all killed by the Masters."
At this thought though Ayoya paid no attention her mind swirling now with something she had long ago given up on, hope, "Oh, what if they are! What if they really are! They could save us Mina! They could be our salvation!"
Over at the battle site Tai was staring at Matt and Mimi, "Where is every one else?"
Mimi bit her lip, "I don't know, but Matt and I arrived together. On the way here we were attacked,"
"So that's the reason for the," Sora gestured to their digivolved digimon,
Realizing the extent of the situation Matt spoke up, "That's not good, who knows the extent of damage these digimon could do? Once were done here we need to go and find them."
The last two digimon that Renumon had brought with her attacked, it was a worthwhile effort, but it, just like all the other attacks ended in failure. Renumon glared and shook, then backed up, starting her retreat, Ayoya's gun changed direction and she was about to pull the trigger when a hand plucked the gun from her, "There's no need to do that now, she's defeated, let her go back and lick her wounds."
Ayoya shot daggers at Mina who was now holding her gun. Mina pocketed it and Ayoya followed her grumbling. They started to go to where the four teens were standing but before they could get there light flowed of the digimon that had been fighting against the hostiles. When the light cleared the four digimon were back in their original states.
People seemed to be gathering around the digimon who had saved their lives so Ayoya and Mina had to struggle though a crowd to get to their destination. When they reached the group of digidestin Ayoya stood up straight, "We the people of Colony 19 thank you for your help, however you are friends with hostiles and therefore a threat. I will let the commander decided what to do with you."
She led them down the street and to the biggest house in the colony; she ducked inside and beckoned them to follow. With no real choice they did so and entered. The man inside the room had an over baring presence, his large form towering over the other teens. Mina and Ayoya bowed and then presented the digidestin to him, "Yatamara, I would like to present to you," she stopped realizing that she didn't know their names.
Noticing her folly Sora quickly answered for her, "I'm Sora, and the other's are Matt, Tai, and Mimi."
A curt nod from Ayoya was her thanks and Mina smiled, these people, did not seem like bad people. In fact the more she was around them the more she was sure of it, which brought into question why they were questioning them in the first place. She saw no danger in letting them go. And their hostiles seemed no more threatening then they did. But, she argued with herself, if they wanted to continue believing that these people could hurt them, let them, it didn't harm her.
From his spot in the room Tai watched as Yatamara surveyed them and then their hostiles, "Where are you from?"
Tai was quick to take charge, just has he had years ago, "Japan, Tokyo."
A choked gasp came from Mina behind them, "That's impossible! Tokyo was over taken and destroyed three years ago. The last city on earth to fall."
"Three years ago?" Sora inclined, "But we just came from Tokyo."
Hope started to flare up in Mina, "Then you are them! You have to be! We wanted help and we got you!" She turned to Ayoya, "Don't you get it? The Powers sent us them! They do care!"
Ayoya watched her friends outburst in mild amusement, and flinched, she was about to break her friends hope, and spirit, "There are eight, I only see four. These teens are not them."
But Mina just like Ayoya had been while watching the battle was too far gone, she hadn't heard a word that Ayoya had said. She knew that these were them, there was nothing else they could be. She walked up to each of them and studied them. At this Ayoya felt silly for even putting the thought into her head, the digidestin were dead. Plain and simple, they were not coming back. Mina backed up, hopeful, "You are them aren't you?"
Finding one of the chairs in the back of the room Matt sat down, he didn't like it if people scrutinized him. Had never like it, "Who?"
At that Ayoya spoke as if reading something from memory, "Fifty years ago, the oppression begun. First the good hostiles," at that she let out a tisk, "If there ever were good hostiles were killed. Then it is said that the children arrived, barely teens they didn't stand a chance, they and their partners were killed. Those children were what the elders called Digidestin, sprung from the original. Their deaths left a great rift and from that rift the Masters appeared, they quickly took over, we have been under their control ever since."
Sora chuckled, "The originals eh?"
A nod came from Mina, "Yeah, it was said that there were eight, and only eight. They came from the heavens and fought the vampire king. These eight were the original, and after the battle were never seen again."
A snort came from the other side of the room, and Tai turned to look at Matt, "If they're talking about VenomMyotismon, vampire king? I think not, he was just a digimon."
"They say he looked like a vampire," Yatamara spoke.
"Looked like, yes, was, no. He was a digimon, the only one to come to Earth, not just to target us, but take it over."
"We've dealt with him twice." Sora interjected.
"Three times if you count all the forms." Mimi piped in.
Yatamara looked sullen, "So are you them or are you not. That is all that remains to be seen."
Once again it was Tai who took control, "Yes, but we're retired. We pass on the torch, to say."
"Then why, were you sent and not them?" Ayoya sighed, this conversation was getting nowhere.
"That's just it. We don't know."
Silence coated the room to be broken seconds latter by Mina, "I think I know why," all faces turned to her, "This isn't your usual thing, this is war, being the older ones, being the ones who had started it all, they had to send you. No others could get the job done."
A conclusion finally reached Yatamara spoke, "That being, these digidestin will remain under house arrest until we can find anything to do with them."
"You heard him, get moving." Ayoya held up her gun again and ushered the four teens out of the room. They walked down the street, and as they did, all four were already coming up with plans for escape. If war was really on the horizon they need to find the others soon, and staying here would get nothing accomplished.
A/N: AYE! That was longer than last time! R&R please!
