Children of the Legend
By: Kari Minamoto
Author's Note: I'm really sorry that my last chapter was not the best. From now on I am not going to say when I will update, that way I can take my time with the chapters to make sure that they are the best they can be. As for my grammar, I change what my spell check tells me to. I assume it is correct. Also, this is my first fic so please bear with me on some of the details that might be obscure and possibly incorrect. I am really trying to make the chapters longer. Thanks for the reviews and constructive criticism.
Disclaimer: I do not own digimon, just this story line.
Chapter5- Spirits of Flame Discovered
The digidestined were meeting once again in Izzy's apartment to discuss their mission. So far no one had found any of the children they were looking for.
"Most of the book has been decoded Izzy, but there are many parts that are just too complicated to translate," said Yolei. "We have compiled the facts that are most alike in everyone's pieces and have discovered that there were either five or six children and they had a difficult time saving the digital world."
Before Izzy could say anything T.K. added, "We also know that the team had only one girl so that would mean there were four or five boys."
Izzy was hoping for more help from the book. It seemed very vague and he really wanted to find these children as soon as possible. He was not sure if these children knew about Myotismon's plan and wanted to warn them. Izzy also wanted to talk with them and analyze their mission in the digital world to see if there was any connection to the one they had been given.
Izzy was brought back to earth though when he heard Ken say, "There was no mention of digimon partners in any part of the book. I wonder why that is, I mean it's not like they could fight digimon on their own or something."
"What do you mean that there was no mention of partners! There has to be some mention of them. Without digimon partners they would be doomed form the start!" Izzy started screaming.
"Izzy calm down. There is probably a logical explanation for it's absents in the book," said Cody, "We just have to find it."
"That's right," said Tai, "O, by the way Matt, did you talk to that Koji kid."
Matt was a little hesitant to reply. Sure, he had spoken to him, but he did not exactly find out a lot.
"Well, did you Matt," Tai asked again.
"Yeah, I did," Matt said simply.
"Well, are you going to tell us what he said Matt," said Davis jumping on the bandwagon of extracting the information from Matt.
"I didn't learn much. All he told was that he had never seen that creature you found the picture of before and that he was at the train station the day of the electrical discharge," said Matt.
"Well, that doesn't really help us that much," said Izzy more to himself than to the others.
"Well, Gennai said that there might be a part of the book missing and he was going to look for it, so we shouldn't give up yet," said Kari.
"That's right!" said Davis, "All we have to do is…umm…find these kids we don't know anything about, but hey lets not loose hope yet. With our luck we'll find them. Everybody with me?"
"Yeahhhh!" screamed the rest of the digidestined.
"Man I'm bored," said Takuya while he was doing, well, supposed to be doing his geometry homework.
He was saying it every few minutes that it was getting on Koji, Koichi, and Zoë's nerves while they tried to concentrate on their own homework. After the tenth time in five minutes Koji cracked.
"If you're going to keep saying that say it in your head or somewhere else!" Koji snapped. "Some of us are actually trying to do our homework!"
The other two just watched this taking place not wanting to get involved. They were both annoyed with Takuya too, but weren't about to say anything. Much to Zoe and Kouichi's surprise Takuya listened to Koji.
"Fine, I'll stop and try to do my homework, k," said Takuya grumpily.
He knew that he was being a pain but he wanted something exciting to happen. He was getting anxious and wanted another spirit to be found soon. It had been a week since Koji had found his and Takuya was a little jealous that Koji had found his first.
What Takuya found odd though was that Koji was still wearing the blue necklace that was found with his spirit. Earlier he had asked Koji why he still was wearing the necklace, Koji had told him that he wasn't sure why but just felt that he should.
While Takuya was daydreaming about finding his spirit and the other three friends were working on homework, a sound came from outside Takuya's bedroom where they were working.
CRASH!
The four of them burst out of the bedroom to find a guilty looking Tommy and a guiltier looking Shinya.
The two of them were in the same grade and at the same school and became good friends. Tommy thought that he became friends with Shinya because he was so much like his older brother.
"What did you guys do!" said Takuya as calmly as possible, "Mom goes to the store for fifteen minutes and you go and break one of her figurines things!"
His mom had a strange obsession with collecting, apparently breakable, cats.
Just at that moment Mrs. Kanbara came into the apartment.
"What happened here!" she said. "I leave you for fifteen minutes to pick up dinner and you wreck havoc! I have to get dinner ready but, Shinya; you have lost your allowance for two weeks, now the both of you clean up the mess."
Tommy and Shinya obeyed and started to clean up when Mrs. Kanbara remembered she forgot to pick up rice at the store. She quickly told the boys not to get into trouble and left again for the store.
Takuya and co. were starting to do their homework again when Shinya's voice came into the room.
"Um, Takuya, your cell phone is doing something really weird. It's beeping and making a light show or something. I swear I didn't do anything to it and…" Shinya started, but Takuya was already out of the room and the others were close behind.
Takuya picked his cell phone up off the counter and looked at it. It was defiantly picking up his spirit. It had the map on the screen like Koji's did.
"Right gang, lets go," Takuya said and started to leave the apartment.
"Takuya, what about your brother, you can't just leave him here alone," said Koichi.
Takuya stopped suddenly. In all the excitement he had forgotten that his brother was even there. Takuya did not know what to do. A part of him knew that he had to stay with his brother and another part of him wanted to go after his spirit.
"What is it your cell phone is doing, huh Takuya. I bet you broke it somehow, wait til I tell mom about this," Shinya said with an evil looking grin.
He had grown up a little but still loved to tease his brother about almost everything and played it as an amusing game.
"It's none of your business Shinya and it's not broken," Takuya replied through gritted teeth.
Before the argument got any worse, Zoe stepped in with an excuse and a way out for Takuya.
"Why don't you go to the store so that they can check out your cell phone Takuya; I'll stay here with Shinya and Tommy, but you better not be gone to long," Zoe suggested.
"We'll go with goggle head so he doesn't do anything stupid, right Koichi," Koji said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Right, don't worry Zoe, we'll be back as soon as possible," Koichi added.
"Alright gang, lets goooooo!" said Takuya, his voice filled with excitement.
The three boys left the apartment in a rush with Zoe looking on.
Takuya and the twins were halfway down the stair well of Takuya's apartment when they heard some voices.
They were currently on the third floor and could tell that whoever was talking was coming from the second floor.
"What do you think we should do Takuya," said Koji, "We can't just rush through those people with your cell phone in its current condition, it would attract way to much attention."
"Just put it your pocket and we'll get through as quickly as we can before the people down there notice anything," Koichi suggested.
Takuya did as Koichi recommended and put it as far down as he could in his jean pocket.
"Alright let's go and try not to look suspicious," Koji said as they started down the stairs.
As they got closer they could hear the voices more distinctly. It sounded like a man and a woman were whispering about something that they did not want anyone to overhear.
"What do you think is taking him so long to appear," whispered the man.
"I don't know but the more time we have, the better. Those children are in danger, everyone is in danger, we have to find them soon," the woman replied quietly.
The two were about to say more when they heard footsteps coming down the stairs. It sounded like a heard of elephants and there was defiantly more than one person.
As the children came into view the woman realized who they were and what was about to happen. She was about to say something when it was too late.
The first boy had run straight into T.K.!
"Ouch, my head," grumbled the boy as he rubbed the spot that had hit the floor, and also checked to make sure his goggles were okay.
T.K. was not in as bad shape as the boy, considering he fell on his but.
"Uhhhh, hello, Mr. and Mrs. Takashi," said Takuya from the floor when he realized who he had run into, "Funny meeting you here."
The two boys who were with him had arrived now and were staring at the scene in front of them with mild amusement.
Before anyone could say anymore, Takuya's cell phone started to go crazy. From inside his pocket it started to make a weird beeping sound and started to vibrate, although only Takuya knew about the second problem.
"Gotta go Mrs. Takashi, Mr. Takashi, um nice running into you," said Takuya as he ran off down the next flight of stairs followed by the twins.
"Stupid, kid; and you have to deal with him every day Kari. I have no clue how you do it. It was like watching Davis or maybe Tai all over again," said T.K. as he got off the floor.
Kari could only laugh at this comment and started to head toward the door to their apartment on the fourth floor, where a meeting was soon to begin.
After narrowly escaping their teacher and her husband, the three friends find themselves, once again following the cell phone.
They had gone down two more floors before anyone said anything again.
"Smooth one Takuya," said Koji ironically, "I'm sure they don't expect a thing after that encounter."
"Whatever," said Takuya.
He wasn't in the mood to argue with Koji at the moment and he half-heartedly agreed with Koji on this, but also was too interested in finding his spirits to care what Koji thought. There was no way they would escape suspicion, especially with Mrs. Takashi being their teacher.
The team stopped in front of the boiler room on the first floor. They could feel the heat coming out from under the door.
"Well, I guess we are here," said Koichi saying aloud the obvious.
"Yeah, some place for the spirits of flame, a boiler room," added Koji.
The three of them went into the room. It was sweltering hot in it. It was probably a good thing none of them had jackets on because if they had they would have been off in two seconds.
They started to head toward the back of the room, and the only blank wall. As soon as they reached the back wall, Takuya's cell phone emitted a bright red-orange light that engulfed the whole room. When the light disappeared, Takuya was holding his black and red D-Tector and the wall had a hole in it!
Koji, Koichi, and Takuya went through the hole.
It was even hotter inside the hole. They had to cross a bridge to get to where the spirits were placed. Koichi decided to look down and saw they were crossing over a river of lava. When they reached the spirits, they saw that they were suspended in towers of fire.
Takuya knew how to get them out though.
"Spirits! Come to me!" Takuya shouted.
At his command the spirits came to him; they arose from the pillars of fire and placed themselves in Takuya's D-Tector where they belonged.
As soon as the spirits were placed in the D-Tector, the place lost some of its heat, although it was still hot.
Takuya was ecstatic! He had his spirits now! If any evil digimon showed their faces he could defeat them. He was so happy he almost didn't know there were two necklaces at his feet.
One of the was orange with a sun-like symbol engraved in it and the other one was red and was engraved with a heart. Takuya knew right away that these were exactly like the ones that Koji had found with his spirit.
Koji also remembered this and started thinking out loud.
"I wonder what these things are and what they are for," he said to himself. "They must have some purpose in our world or they wouldn't be here."
Koichi decided to interrupt everyone's thoughts, Takuya's of I have my spirit and Koji isn't the only one with these necklace things and Koji's of the meaning of the necklaces with five words, "Shouldn't we go back now?"
This got both of their attention and they quickly hurried out of the opening and did not even notice it close behind them.
It had been about an hour since Takuya and the others had left and Zoe was getting impatient. Sure, Mrs. Kanbara had returned but she was not about to leave without a thank you.
Zoe was not the only person who was getting impatient; Mrs. Kanbara was getting impatient too.
Five minutes later Takuya came in the door, he had a proud expression on his face, like someone who got a 100 on his math test. Koji, however, looked a little puzzled.
Shinya was the first person to say anything.
"So Takuya, did you get your cell phone fixed," Shinya said without looking up from the video game he was playing with Tommy.
This was new to Mrs. Kanbara.
"Takuya," she said sternly, "did you break your cell phone?"
The twins were staring at him now, even Shinya and Tommy were watching with interest, their game on pause.
Tommy was the only person who knew what was going on besides Zoe and the twins.
"Well, I'm waiting," said Mrs. Kanbara.
'How am I going to get out of this one' Takuya thought.
"Well, um, you see, I…" started Takuya.
The reason why he stopped was that he felt a vibration in his pocket. He pulled out his D-Tector, except there was one problem; it was not a D-Tector anymore! He was surprised, and he was not the only one, so were the rest of the chosen children.
Shinya just thought that Takuya had gone insane.
"See, mom its right here," said Takuya with a goofy looking smile.
"Fine." said Mrs. Kanbara, "See your friends out and then sit down for dinner."
She knew he was hiding something, she just did not know what.
Takuya saw his friends to the door. The twins left right away since they were both already late for dinner. Tommy had left with them, but Zoe was still standing there.
"Well, aren't you going to say anything to me huh? I watched your bratty brother so you could go find your spirit and you walk me to the door and that's it!" said Zoe in a slightly annoyed voice.
"Sorry Zoe." Said Takuya, "Thank you for watching my brother for me, I appreciated it. Happy?"
"Yes!" said Zoe in chirpy voice.
"Well um, good bye and see you tomorrow," said Takuya slightly blushing.
"Um, yeah see you tomorrow," Zoe replied and quickly leaving before Takuya could see her blushing.
This chapter was a lot longer than my previous ones and I hope it is written okay. I personally think that it is better than my last chapter. Anyways, I have never lived in am apartment so I do not know if they have a boiler room, I assume they do, so please do not criticize me about that. Even if they do not, this one does. Also I'm running out of ideas for where the children could find their spirits. If you could give any suggestions I would appreciate them. Also if you did not know from my last few chapters, I know nothing about the Japanese school system so at the moment it is based on the American school system.
