Children of the Legend
By: Kari Minamoto
Author's Note: Hello everybody! It's me again! Thanks for the reviews and suggestions! There is a reason that the D-Tector turned back into a cell phone… but I'm not going to tell you at the moment. Also, just because teachers usually run into students and not students into teachers doesn't mean it can't happen. One more thing, as for this being a Takumi fic, I'm not sure yet. I might sneak pieces of it in because I find it to be the most logical coupling for the frontier cast. I also thought it would make a cute ending to the chapter. Anyways, without further ado, here is chapter 6.
Disclaimer: I do not own any aspect of digimon. I only own this story line.
Chapter 6- Spirits in the Sky
It had been an hour since the Takashi's had run into Takuya and the twins; a meeting was about to begin between the digidestined and Gennai. However, T.K. was still thinking about the kids they had run into on the stair well.
"Hey, Takeru, what's on your mind," Kari called from the kitchen to her husband.
Of course she did not even need to yell since the kitchen and the living room were not separated.
"Nothing much, I was just thinking about those kids back there," said T.K. more to himself than to his wife. "They seem kind of familiar, especially the boy with the goggles," T.K. added.
"Takuya," said Kari simply.
"What?" T.K. asked completely perplexed.
"That's the name of the boy who wears the goggles, Takuya. I teach him, well I try to," said Kari sweetly.
"He reminds me of Davis, especially with those goggles," said T.K. in a slightly annoyed voice.
"Well, I must admit, he does have a similar personality to Davis," Kari answered.
Out of no where T.K. asked Kari a question that she had not expected from him.
"Do you think he is a digidestined," T.K. asked suddenly and without warning.
Kari was so surprised by the question that she almost spilled the munchies she was bringing into the living room for their meeting.
"It was just an idea," T.K. said hastily, "I didn't mean it to be like I was accusing him of anything. It's just weird. I mean, don't you see the connection that there is. Tai wore goggles; Davis wore goggles, why shouldn't the new leader of the digidestined wear goggles."
Kari was silent for a moment. That thought had crossed her mind before. The truth was she did not want one of her students to be a digidestined. She was not sure why, maybe it was because she did not want anyone to get hurt that she was responsible for. Nevertheless, Kari was not about to tell anyone that the thought had occurred to her before.
There was silence for a few minutes in the Takashi residence, each person deep in his or her own thoughts. They were both brought back to earth, however, when the doorbell rang.
After about half an hour of answering the door every two minutes, all twelve digidestined were cramped but still comfortable in the Takashi's cozy apartment.
A few minutes after they were all gathered around the living room, the laptop Izzy had set up had begun to glow.
In mere seconds, Gennai was in front of them.
"Well, let's have a report. What have the twelve of you found out," Gennai said with a grin.
Tai stepped in first with information.
"We haven't really found out much, just that there were five to six kids and no partners for them," Tai said in a somewhat dejected voice.
"Hmmm, that's interesting I've never heard of such a thing, a digidestined without a partner. Maybe that's why the digimon were unable to find partner digimon," Gennai said with interest.
"Also Gennai," said Izzy, "we found out that the electrical discharge that happened a while back was not exactly an electrical discharge, but almost definitely two digimon. The dragon was one of them and this is the other."
Izzy than pointed to a blurred digimon in the photograph he had handed Gennai.
By now all the digidestined had heard about the mysterious digimon, and they were all excited to find out who it was. They had come to a conclusion that since Izzy's digimon encyclopedia he had compiled didn't have information on the creature then Gennai had to know who it was.
"I have never seen this digimon before," said Gennai with unhappiness.
This surprised all of the digidestined; they had expected him to tell then who it was not that he had never seen the digimon before.
"What do you mean you don't know who it is!" said Izzy with frustration.
"I've never seen it before, but I'll see if I can find out for you," said Gennai calmly. "Ophanimon might be able to help me with this, but I don't know if she will cooperate."
"Anyways, digidestined, there is a reason that I wanted us all to meet, said Gennai, "It is because the crests have been rediscovered."
At this sentence the digidestined had gone wild! Having their crests back would mean the ability to digivolve to ultimate and mega!
"Calm down, there is a catch," said Gennai.
"Before anyone asks this question I will answer it," said Gennai who was looking at an overexcited Izzy. "The crests first of all were not rediscovered in the digital world, but in your world. It seems that when the digital world was destroyed and reborn again so were the crests. They somehow were transported to your world, probably to keep then safe from Myotismon's wrath. So, now there is an addition to your mission, you must now also find your crests."
When Gennai finished the digidestined looked at him like he was a maniac or a psycho. Davis was the first to express this.
"Dude, are you mad!" exclaimed Davis, "We can't even find these kids, now you want us to hunt for crests too!"
"Yes," said Gennai like it was an obvious answer. "Anyways, I have to go now. I'm meeting Ophanimon for tea so I can try to get out of her who her 'Chosen Children' are. Good luck and happy hunting."
With that Gennai was gone, leaving a bewildered group of digidestined behind him.
"Well, I guess that we have to go find those crests now." said Cody, "We had better get started."
With that the digidestined began the search for the crests.
Gennai walked up to a castle bathed in white flowers and knocked on the door. When no one answered he tried again. He was about to knock a third time when it finally opened.
"Once will do it Gennai," said the angel digimon called Ophanimon kindly.
"I am sorry Lady Ophanimon, may I enter," said Gennai politely, after all he was speaking to one of the rulers of the digital world.
As soon as they were seated Gennai brought up the question that Ophanimon knew was coming.
"Who are the new digidestined?" said Gennai.
Ophanimon had expected this. Every time he came to visit it was the same thing.
'I cannot tell him. What does he not understand; I made a promise to myself and others that I would not reveal who they were, and I intend to keep that promise.' Ophanimon thought to herself.
"No," was her simple reply.
Gennai was irritated now. He had been trying for weeks now to get her to tell him and she would not. Why? Why could he not be told who the children were? He was trying to protect them and Ophanimon was not even helping protect her chosen children as she called them.
"Why can't you tell me?" he asked with aggravation showing in his voice.
"Because I made a promise, a promise I intend to keep, besides I have faith that they can take care of themselves and each other," Ophanimon replied.
A couple of days had passed now and Zoe was waiting to meet her friends at the park.
They were planning on a game of soccer together, just the six of them.
Zoe was walking through the park when she bumped into a woman with strawberry blonde hair and wearing a jean mini skirt and a pink peasant top.
"I'm sorry," said Zoe in a sincere tone.
"Don't mention it; by the way I love your outfit. That lavender shirt definitely matches your purple skirt," the woman said before walking away.
Zoe was startled for a minute, after the shock Zoe did the only thing she could think of.
"Thanks!" Zoe shouted to the woman and quickly ran off to find her friends.
Even with the meeting with the woman, Zoe was still early to their meeting place, the big tree next to the soccer field.
Takuya was the next person to arrive, shortly followed by J.P.
While waiting for the other s to arrive; Zoe's cell phone started to go crazy. Like with Takuya and Koji's it displayed a map and was flashing.
Zoe knew instantly what it meant; it meant that her spirit was close by.
"Takuya, J.P., call the others and tell them we are going hunting for my spirit," said Zoe taking of following the map displayed on her cell phone.
Takuya and J.P. did as they were told to do, except that the lines of all the phones were busy.
They decided to follow Zoe and try calling the others later.
The three of them were following the signal when they ran into Koji who was on his way to the park. Koichi was not with him, apparently they had different things to do that afternoon.
Instinctively she knew what was going on and joined the gang as they pursued Zoe and her cell phone up the stairs of the skyscraper.
They followed the signal up to the roof but were unable to find the spirits.
"Hey, Z, over here." said J.P. "Look what I found."
Zoe hurried over with Takuya and Koji right behind her.
It seems that J.P. had found stairs… made out of clouds! The chosen were surprised.
Zoe did not even wait to make sure that the stairs were solid and not an illusion, she went right up. After the initial shock of seeing Zoe running up stairs made of clouds the boys followed.
Takuya and J.P. found some amusement and amazement in the cloud stairs, but Koji did not trust it. He felt that as soon as Zoe obtained her spirits, that the cloud stairs would disappear and they would fall to the ground.
The higher the group went the windier it got.
At the top of the stairs made of clouds, were Zoe's spirits of wind: Kazemon and Zephermon.
The spirits were floating on clouds generating the wind.
As soon as she saw the spirits, Zoe's cell phone was encircled by data and reappeared as her pink and purple D-Tector.
After watching Koji and Takuya get their spirits, Zoe knew exactly what to do to obtain hers.
"Spirits of Wind, come to me!" she shouted.
Just like with the two boys, the spirits came to Zoe when she called for them.
As the spirits started to be contained in Zoe's D-Tector, it glowed a bright pinkish-purple light which disappeared when the spirits were absorbed by the D-Tector.
When the light died away, as with the spirits of flame and light, a necklace remained. It had an engraving in it and was green.
Zoe quickly picked it up and put it around her neck; she noticed that both Koji and Takuya were still wearing one of the necklaces that they had found with their spirits.
"Come on guys, let's get back to the park before the others wonder where we went to," said Zoe happily.
She was in a great mood: she found her spirits, a necklace, and a woman she did not know complimented her outfit. What more could a girl ask for.
Koji was happy to leave. He wanted to find his brother and he also still did not trust the clouds to hold him.
Takuya was happy because Zoe was happy and he wanted to get to the park to play soccer with his friends.
J.P., he just hoped he would find his spirit soon.
Tommy and Koichi were waiting at the park for the others to arrive. They had been waiting for an hour and it was getting late.
Just when the two of them were about to head home they heard a voice.
"Hey, buddies, don't leave yet!" Takuya yelled.
The two of them turned and saw Takuya and right behind him were Zoe, Koji, and J.P.
"Boy do we have a story for you two!" Takuya continued.
Instead of playing a game of soccer like the friends had originally planned, Zoe, with a little help from Takuya and J.P., told Tommy and Koichi how and where she found her spirit.
To be continued…
Another chapter from Kari Minamoto finished. I really hope you like it. For a change I had no homework due tomorrow or any tests, so I was able to write chapter six. I hope you liked it.
