Fc: BACK IS I!
Fern: Oh dear... Here we go...
Fc: Oh Can it you. Anyway, here comes another exciting installment of D-Force!
(Please Do Not Expect any Updates untill AFTER Wednesday, I have Fianl Exams starting this Week and I need to Study!)
Disclaimer: (I swear, If I ever remember to put this on Chapter one, THe world will end) Fernclaw does not own Digimon nor Danny Phantom. They belong to the respectable owners. I DO however own my idea and several concepts yet to be seen.
Chapter Two
Spirit Hunt
Zoe dropped her backpack on her bed. She tipped its contents on the bed. Several books fell from her bag. She wanted to continue the research at home over the weekend, while the library was closed. She gathered them up one by one and put them on her desk. She came across an older, more worn book. Its title had faded away.
I don't remember picking this one out… Maybe one of the guys had it and it got mixed into my things. She carefully opened the book. She sneezed from the dust that coated the cover and binding of the pages. She skimmed the first page. It was a table of contents written in elaborate hand written handwriting.
"This thing belongs in a museum not a library…" she commented to herself as she read the different sections. A few titles caught her eye.
'The Sturdy Flame… The Little Polar Bear… The Calm Breeze… The Lightning Bug…' She frowned not liking how the titles bore a strange similarity to the ancient warriors "The White Wolf…? The Raging Fire…?! This is about us!" She gasped in disbelief, nearly dropping the book.
Zoe was shocked to see that chapters about her and her friends were not first stories, rather half way down the page. She read the first chapter's title. 'The Tiger and The Dragon: The Creators of Life and Death'
"I wonder…" She whispered, turning to the first story, only to discover the pages she sought were missing … gone, fallen out from old age.
"Damn." She shut the book and sat down at her computer. She began to search for the book on the web, hoping someone knew the missing story. She turned on her laptop and began to search when a window popped up.
RoseWithThorns invites you to a video chat.
Zoe looked pleasantly surprised as she selected 'accept' with her cursor.
Sam sat at her computer, staring emptily into the screen of her laptop. She was lying on her bed trying to work on her English final. Her analog clock flashed 9:30pm. She blinked and realized now as a good time to start the web cam session. She enjoyed talking to her pen pal. Sam had met her on a trip to Italy a few years ago. She used to live in Italy but has since moved back to her country of birth, Japan. They had a 14 hour time difference to work around so their chats were limited to certain times of the day.
ItaliaFairy accepted the video chat.
A window popped up, showing a blonde haired girl with emerald green eyes. "Hey Zoe, how're you?" Sam said brightly.
Zoe grinned, "I'm great, how're you doing?"
"I'm good. Just stressing over my stupid English final…" Sam replied with a groan.
"You have my sympathies. What do you have to do?"Zoe asked, "Maybe I could help…"
Sam smiled, "Maybe. We have to retell a myth, like rewrite it… we have partners, so it's not too bad."
"You're with Danny aren't you?"
Sam nodded, "Yeah… It's so frustrating… I mean. Danny's great and really creative… He just lacks the focus… and with all the Ghost stuff…"
Zoe grimaced, "Yeah, being the son of the 'World's Greatest Ghost Hunters' must be a drag. They like to take him with them on their hunts right?"
"Yup, makes it hard to focus on much of anything," Sam said with a light laugh, hiding the fact that Danny hunted the ghosts on his own as Danny Phantom.
Zoe smiled. "So what myth do you have to do?" she asked curiously.
"Something about two lovers desperate to find a place without war. When they don't find one, they create their own. They start a family and have ten kids and train them to be the peace keepers of their home world. Then some crazy Angel tries to kill them all…" Sam explained, "I think it's called the Tiger Gaia and the Dragon Seishin…"
Zoe's mouth hung open. Sam knew the story of the original ten warriors. She knew the original Digimon. "AncientGaiamon and AncientSeishinmon…" she whispered. The names rolled off her tongue like familiar words, though this was the first she had ever heard of them. She had part of the riddle figured out. "Sam. Does it say anything about the two lovers? Like who they were?"
Sam looked confused, "Um… not really, just their names Gaia and Seishin, why?"
"No reason, just curious." Zoe said regaining herself quickly. She quickly typed in the names, hoping to find out what they meant. She attempted to continue her conversation while searching, "So uh, what are the requirements."
Sam talked on while Zoe focused on her search. She felt bad for ignoring her friend, but the Digital World was in trouble and her first priority was figuring out who the first two Digimon were. She listened to Sam briefly as she waited for her search to yield the results.
Seishin –Spirits
Gaia – Earth, Life
Spirits? Earth? Life? What could that mean… Unless… She glanced at the book on her desk, 'The Creators of Life and Death'. LIFE AND DEATH. "That's it!" sheexclaimed, making Sam jump. She could hardly wait to tell the guys.
"What's it?" Sam asked, completely lost.
Zoe grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, just figured out this riddle the guys gave me. I can't wait to rub it in their faces! "
"Those boys…" Sam said knowingly, as she had a pair of them to deal with on a regular basis.
"Mind if I cut our talk short?" Zoe asked, "It's kind of important I tell them. It's like a contest to see who gets it first." Zoe lied elaborately.
"Sure. I'll see you soon then. You are still coming on Sunday right?"
Zoe paled; she had completely forgotten her trip to Amity Park to meet up with Sam for a few weeks. "Yes of course! I've been looking forward to it all month!" She said quickly.
Sam smiled, "Well see ya soon!" The window closed as Sam signed out. Zoe slumped in her seat. What would she do now?
"I'll talk to Takuya and the others… They need to know about the first two Digimon… if I can't go back with them, they'll be fine without me I guess…" she said to herself, still unsure. Her hand drifted over to her D-Tector, ready to contact her companions.
A bright blue-white symbol appeared on her screen. Zoe recognized it as the Symbol of Ice, Tommy was calling her. She picked up her D-Tector, "Tommy?"
"Hiya Zoe!" his voice rang out clearly from the lavender device.
"Hi to you!" Zoe said cheerfully. "What's up?"
"You don't happen to have this really old looking book do you? I got it from the Library to do more research, but now I can't find it… you didn't pick it up did you?"
Zoe glanced at the ancient book on her desk. "Yes, actually I do. Listen, I need you to help me call up everyone else. I know what the original Digimon were."
Tommy gasped, "Really?! How did you figure it out?"
"My pen pal Sam gave me the right leads…and I managed to stumble on to it… but that's not important. We need to tell everyone else. You call Kouji and Kouichi; if you're lucky you'll catch them together. I'll call Takuya and JP." Zoe said urgently, "Tell them to meet us in the park at the big oak."
"You got it Zoe!" the symbol faded away as the call ended. Zoe smiled and focused her attention on contacting JP.
"What's up Z? Any news?" JP asked after a few moments. The yellow symbol of Thunder appeared on her screen.
"Yeah, I know who the original Digimon were. We're meeting at the Oak tree ASAP. Can you come?"
JP paused, "I'll be there. See you there soon Zoe."
"See ya" Zoe said softly as his symbol faded like Tommy's had. She inhaled deeply and focused on her leader and secret crush, Takuya, the bearer of Flame.
Soon a bright orange-red symbol appeared on the dark screen. "Zoe?" Takuya's voice caught the girl off guard for a split second.
"Meeting at the Oak tree. I know the first Digimon's names and what they are. Can you come?" Zoe asked with a slight edge to her voice.
"Of course. I'll be there soon, are you there already?" Takuya replied.
Zoe paused to grab her jacket, "I'm just leaving, and on my way now."
"See you then!" Takuya replied happily and the symbol of Flame faded from the screen. Zoe smiled uncertainly, could the team continue onto the Digital World without her?
Zoe walked into the park rather sullenly. She had been thinking deeply about the guys having to leave her behind. She knew that they as a group had to put the safety of both worlds first. But how could she go if she was halfway across the globe?
She looked up as she neared the giant oak tree the group chose as a meeting place. Everyone else was already there, waving here over. She put on a fake smile and ran towards them.
Kouji jumped right onto the topic at hand, "What did you find Zoe?" he asked anxiously.
"Life and Death. They're Life and Death." Zoe said breathlessly. The boys blinked mouths hanging open.
Takuya shook off the shock, "You're positive? Wow… who knew…"
"There's something else… I don't think I can go back this time guys… I'm leaving for America tomorrow."
The group fell silent. "But you have to come… We need all of the Legendary Warriors." Takuya said softly.
"I know but-"
Digidestined,
Takuya and the others jumped as a deep male voice spoke suddenly. Takuya dug into his pocket and retrieved his D-Tector. "It's Seraphimon!" someone whispered in surprise.
You have solved only half of the puzzle. You must find the Spirits' Holders and go back to the Digital world. The way you entered last time will not work. You must find a new path and bring the new children with you.
"But how are we going to find them?" Kouichi wondered aloud.
I have managed to track the Spirits' locations. They reside on a far off continent. It'll be a fair distance you will have to travel.
"Which continent?" Tommy asked curious.
Warrior of Wind, please reach into your pocket. Your friends are going with you on your trip.
Zoe hesitantly reached into her pocket and withdrew her D-Tector and six slips of paper. Her plane ticket had been duplicated, making it possible for the team to travel together.
Good Luck to you Legendary Warriors.
The screen darkened. Zoe just held the tickets in disbelief. The Spirits they sought were in America.
Thoughts? Opinions? Questions? Comments? Concerns? Complaints? Theroies? Critique?
I want to hear it please!
