Children of the Legend
Kari Minamoto
Author's Note: Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter and my one-shot, What-If?. I hope everyone who read it enjoyed it. I really liked the freezer idea and was about to use it, but I came up with another idea while daydreaming so I'm using that one. No offense to the person who originally suggested the freezer. Some questions are answered below. Sorry for the delay, I've been really, really, really, really, really, really, busy. Gomen! Here is the next installment of Children of the Legend.
Germs: Season 4 ends with the children saving the digital world. You didn't miss much since there were only about 5 episodes that Lucemon actually appears in if that's where it left off. If it was with the royal knights then it will take a little longer to explain. Anyways, Kouichi was a spirit, and not truly there. He ends up sacrificing himself to save the other chosen from Lucemon. As he does this, he gives the spirits of darkness to Kouji. Using the power, sadness, and anger of Kouichi being scanned, Takuya and Kouji become Susanoomon. Later on all the chosen transform into this one digimon. They save the words from destruction and as they are returning to the real world Lowemon tells Kouji that Kouichi is still alive. The chosen wind up in his hospital room where he is almost dead. The light of the D-Tectors revives him and he is revived.
Wouldn't you like to know: I never planned on giving Kouichi a cell phone; I have my own idea for him to get his spirit.
Disclaimer: I do not own digimon, but if I did there would definitely be a 5th season.
Chapter 8
Penguins and Suspicions
"I think that our project is done," said Tommy to Shinya.
"Yeah, but I think it's a crime to give us this much homework, especially this many projects in such a short time. It's not fair," Shinya replied unhappily.
Tommy still found it amusing how much Shinya was like Takuya. After spending all that time in the digital world together, it was hard not to identify Takuya's personality with Shinya's. Also ever since going to the digital world with Takuya, the two of them had become close friends. There was a secret that Tommy kept from his best friend Shinya of course; it was his trip to the digital world where he first met Takuya.
Takuya never mentioned his brother's name in the digital world, just that they were around the same age. They happened to be enrolled at the same school and were quick friends. Takuya and Tommy had both been shocked the first time he had gone to Shinya's at who was on the other side of the door. They had already had to make up a story about how they already knew each other, which was that Takuya had to do volunteer work at the school and Shinya had never seen him.
Takuya had of course thought up that excuse.
Shinya had not asked any further questions but hey knew he did not buy the explanation and was waiting for a chance for the cover up story to blow up in their faces.
That was the only difference between the brothers: Shinya had more patience and was more cunning than Takuya, probably because he was the younger brother and saw what Takuya got in trouble for and made sure not to do it himself.
"I'll go get us a snack," Shinya said, snapping Tommy out of his thoughts.
Shinya had gone into the kitchen to get a snack and by the sounds of it, was arguing with Takuya about something.
Suddenly, Shinya came running back with something in his hand.
Before Tommy could ask what was going on, Shinya slammed the door and locked it. Banging and shouting could be heard from the other side of the door from an angry Takuya trying to get inside.
Shinya was laughing hysterically about this. The item in his hand grew brighter and Tommy finally realized what it was.
"Shinya, what are you doing with my cell phone?" Tommy asked him hoping he did not have to answer any questions about why it was glowing.
"I rescued it from Takuya," Shinya replied with a smirk.
"Well can I have it back," Tommy asked hoping Shinya would give it to him without any sort of problem.
"Only if you tell me why it's glowing," Shinya replied with the same smirk and a glint in his eye.
"Ummm, because it's broken. I'm getting it fixed in like fifteen minutes. So I need it back so it can be fixed and so I think I should leave now," Tommy said in a rush hoping Shinya would buy it.
Shinya seemed to be debating with himself. He knew that Tommy wasn't telling him the truth, but he also didn't want to start a fight with him. He always found it funny that Takuya and Koji fought a lot, and they were supposed to be best friends. Now that he was in the situation, it wasn't so funny.
"Fine," said Shinya gruffly, handing the glowing cell phone to Tommy.
"Thank-you!" said Tommy while unlocking the bedroom door, putting on his shoes and running out the front door with Takuya following close behind.
"Why are we back in the park?" Takuya said with confusion, "We already found Koji's spirit here."
"Beats me Takuya," Tommy replied, "Let's just keep moving."
They continued down the path in the park, until they heard someone call their names.
"Takuya! Tommy! Wait up!" said a female voice.
The boys turned around and saw Zoe running up to them with a couple shopping bags.
"Hey guys, what's up," said Zoe cheerfully.
"We are trying to find Tommy's spirit," said Takuya taking charge. "You can come along if you want, although, we don't know where it is yet," he added.
"Sure I'll come along," said Zoe in her joyful voice.
"What exactly are we doing here?" Tai asked Izzy.
"Looking for clues or information," he replied matter of factly.
Anyone who didn't know what these two men were up to would have thought of them as crazy. They were standing in the middle of the Shibuya Zoo looking intently at a computer screen which seemed to be running some kind of program.
"So, what does it do," said Tai in a bored voice.
He never really understood the complex programs that Ken and Izzy used.
"Well, it's a simple program that will pick up irregular frequencies of anything electronic. It is my belief that all digivices give off a different frequency than normal electronics, this program should pick them up. Then we can follow the single that is put on the screen to whoever or whatever is giving off the frequency," said Izzy to Tai with ease.
Tai looked bewildered by what Izzy had just said.
"Simple?" was all Takuya could say.
"Yes it is," Izzy replied with pride.
It had been an hour since setting up and running the program and so far nothing had been picked up.
"Let's go Izzy. This is getting boring. It hasn't picked anything up yet," Tai said hoping Izzy would at least let him go home.
"Fine. I guess we'll just have to come back tomorrow," said Izzy a little hurt that his program hadn't picked anything up.
"Good," Tai said and started to head for the exit.
"Wait Tai! It's picking up something from the other side of the zoo! Let's go check it out!" Izzy said running off with Tai being dragged grumpily behind him.
"The zoo. We are in the zoo," said Takuya. "This is the last place I would look for a spirit."
"Yeah," said Zoe, "but it's probably where it is."
"Let's just go find it," said Tommy anxiously
He wanted his spirit back and he could feel it in his bones that they were close.
The trio started walking through the zoo, waiting for the cell phone to start reacting when they were very close.
They had passed the lions, tigers, monkeys, giraffes, and many other animals in the zoo until the cell phone started to glow violently… in front of the penguin exhibit!
"It's in there," said Takuya, "I thought that J.P.'s and Zoe's were in difficult places, but this is worse."
"How are we supposed to get in there," Zoe said worriedly.
"We sneak in I guess, there are way too many people to do anything out in the open," Tommy said determinedly.
"Tommy's right, we can't stop now. We are to close to forget about it," Takuya said. "Let's go."
The three friends somehow got into a deserted area near the penguin exhibit and tried to form a plan. While they were still thinking, Tommy's cell phone shot out a beam of light which opened a hole in the wall of the exhibit.
Tommy, Zoe, and Takuya ran in it. As soon as they were through it closed again. They were behind the exhibit, not directly in it though.
"How are we going to get out Takuya," said Zoe.
Takuya replied, "I'm not sure. Let's just find the spirits first."
The pretend glacier, in front of them, for the exhibit, all of a sudden started to crack open, and inside was the spirits of ice.
"Spirits come to me for I call you," said Tommy passionately.
The spirits were absorbed into the cell phone and transformed it into his D-Tector.
Left behind, like with all the other spirits was a necklace. A gold one with a symbol that looked a little like a badge.
The hole in the exhibit opened again and they all got left it without being caught.
"It came from over here, I'm sure of it," said Izzy.
"We've already through the whole park," said Tai who was now impatient.
"I'm sure it came from here. Look for anyone suspicious," said Izzy.
"Nice goggles," Tai said absentmindedly.
"Goggles?" said Izzy with confusion, "Davis and you don't even where them anymore."
"I know, but that kid is wearing them," said Tai pointing at a boy who was accompanied by a girl and a younger boy.
Izzy then said, "Let's go check them out."
"What? Why?" said Tai. "All I was saying was that I liked his style."
"I know, but goggles were worn by both Davis and you, so why shouldn't a new digidestined have goggles?" said Izzy logically.
"Fine, let's go ask. I need to get home soon or Sora will kill me," said Tai reluctantly.
"Let's get going guys," said Takuya with enthusiasm.
He was ecstatic about actually getting Tommy's spirits without being caught.
"Could I ask you a question before you go though," said a young man with red hair.
There was another man behind him who looked like he really did not want to be there at all.
"Um, sure," said Takuya a little taken aback.
"My name is Izzy Izumi," said Izzy, "and this is Tai Kamiya."
Izzy then pointed to the man behind him who gave them a strained smile.
"We're taking a sirve on what kids usually carry around for electronics. Do you mind answering the question," Izzy asked.
He then added, "You have to show us your electronics so it's valid though."
The man, Tai, looked a little confused but didn't say anything at first, but he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
"Why are we taking a sirve?" Tai asked.
"It's for the class that you decided to sleep through yesterday," Izzy said without skipping a beat.
"Well, the three of us have cell phones but that's it," said Takuya.
The three friends then took out their cell phones, they all varied in size and color, but they were definitely cell phones.
"Okay, thank you for your time," said Izzy and he left with Tai following behind him.
"What exactly did that accomplish?" said Tai angrily.
He knew Sora was going to scold him for being late for dinner.
"Nothing much, I was just wondering if I could see any digivices in their pockets or on their belts, or something like that," said Izzy.
"Whatever. I'm going home," said Tai in the same miserable mood.
"I'm home," said Takuya.
"Dinner will be ready in five minutes, his mother replied, "Son get washed up."
Takuya decided to wash up after he checked his e-mail. Koji was supposed to send a summery of what happened in The Pit and the Pendulum. Once he was in his room and had turned on his computer, the door to his room closed behind him.
"So, did Tommy need your help to get his cell phone fixed," said Shinya in a nasty voice.
"Um, yeah, it's all fixed now," said Takuya a little nervously.
"Tell me the truth, or next time I see Zoe, I'll tell her that you like her," said Shinya.
Takuya was trapped, he knew he was. Then he got an idea.
"I'm tell mom that you cheated on your last test," said Takuya.
"It was once. I forgot to study," said Shinya stubbornly.
"You still cheated. Mom would kill you if she found out," said Takuya.
"Fine! You won, but I won't stop until I find out what Tommy and you are hiding," Shinya yelled as he slammed the door as he left.
Takuya thought to himself 'Why bother studying, I don't have the class tomorrow.'
Takuya then went to his T.V., turned it on, and started to watch a baseball game between the Yomiuri Giants and the Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes.
To be continued…
Like I said before, I am really sorry about not writing more often. I've been busy with finals and baseball season has started. :D Also I am sorry if I upset anyone by putting a little Taiora in here. I've been on the fence for a while if it should be Taiora or Saorato. I am sorry for those Sorato fans if I disappointed you. I have no idea when this will be updated again, but I am going to try to over April holiday. Thanks for reading.
Please, read and revew!
