Children of the Legend
Kari Minamoto
Author's Note: Here is chapter 13, there really is not more to say except my writer's block keeps getting worse bangs head on computer hoping for inspiration. I hope this isn't really, really, bad crosses fingers.
Disclaimer: If I owned Digimon I doubt that I would be writing fanfiction. I'm obviously writing it since I don't own digimon.
Chapter 13- The Plot Thickens
Zoe woke up early for school on Friday morning knowing a history test was coming that had not been studied for because of all the digimon activity.
She was browsing through her closet and yawning from lack of sleep. Last night Zoe had decided to try and study by taking the practice quiz online, the only problem was Takuya had started IMing her two minutes after signing on. They had spent a couple hours online talking and it was almost midnight before they stopped. By then it was too late to study so Zoe decided to get up early for last minute cramming.
After a while she decided to wear a green tie-dyed shirt which had a V-neck cut and flared boot-cut jeans with black boots. She went into the bathroom next door to get ready for school.
She showered and dressed and after a few minutes hesitation in front of the mirror in the bathroom she decided to tie her hair back for a change with a white scrunchie.
As an afterthought Zoe ran back into her room and pulled a necklace out of her jewelry box on her night stand.
It wasn't an ordinary necklace to someone who knew it well, or a person who knew it had a mysterious way of coming into her possession.
The necklace was gold with a green rectangular piece in the center. In the center was what looked like a teardrop or the petal on a leaf.
'I wonder what this is for,' thought to herself turning the necklace over in her hand, 'There must be a reason why we got them, we just need to find out why.'
Zoe only hesitated a moment and slipped the necklace over her head since it had no clasp. It was a different style than what Zoe was used to, usually small dainty necklaces, but this one hung perfectly around her neck.
Zoe than looked in the mirror over her vanity and saw how it looked on her. The necklace was not to long and not to short; it was perfect and dangled right before the shirt started. She then added some pink lip gloss, blush, and clear mascara. After finishing her make-up she had a breakfast of cereal. Following breakfast Zoe had to find all her books which were scattered throughout the house. By the time they had been found it was almost 7:30 a.m.! School started at 8:00 a.m.
She was going to be late if she did not hurry. Zoe grabbed her backpack stuffed the books inside, put on her boots, and ran out the door hoping not to be late for school.
Zoe ran into the Shibuya high school as the warning bell rang. She had missed her bus and had to run fifteen minutes to school.
She zoomed by Koji who was waiting for history class to start going over flash cards he must have made the night before.
As Zoe ran down the hall and opened her locker to dump her backpack she remembered his away message the night before. It had read: Leave me alone unless it's an emergency. I'm not in the mood for a broken nail or missing video game. A REAL emergency would be the world being in danger. Let me study for history, thank-you very much.
Zoe giggled thinking of the away message and how tense he still was at times even after their digital adventure. Some things never change.
She quickly grabbed her books for history closed the locker and ran back to the classroom where Koji was still studying.
Zoe got about a minute of studying from Koji's cards before the late bell had rung and the students filed in. As soon as the students took their seats and morning announcements were read (a reminder of no balls inside the schools academic wings, canceled soccer practice, and teacher's meeting on Monday) the test was administered by Mr. Matsuki.
Zoe could easily say that she would rather take on Ranamon again than the test. She was unprepared and it did not help that Koji was next to her (he was going through it fairly quickly).
Zoe was half done when she looked at the clock; there were only fifteen minutes left and half the class had already turned theirs in.
With five minutes left Zoe was circling random letters on the last page. She turned it in when the bell rang with a sinking sensation in her stomach; she knew she had done poorly and English Literature was next which did not help much. Her homework had been sloppily done two days ago and she had never fixed the grammar mistakes in the essay.
As Zoe entered English she thought, 'This day can't possibly get any worse.'
How very wrong she was…
"Get my carriage ready," barked Myotismon at two Bakemon.
"Yes master, sorry master," they said and hurried off.
It was time to get to business; everyone was out of his room. A rumor associated with the Children of the Legend was that they had fought and wrongfully beat four of the Legendary Warriors who sided with the powers of darkness. There was supposedly a fifth, but Myotismon would concern himself with the fifth one later.
He moved over to the bookshelf in the corner and took down a book. He skimmed it until he found what he was looking for.
Myotismon laid the book on his desk and started to read:
Forces of Darkness, Powers of darkness assist me with my deed.
As he started he took out four objects and laid them on the floor.
Make these humble servants of me, and support my plans.
Let them destroy the digidestined and anyone else who objects to my reign of the Earth.
When Myotismon finished his speech the objects began to glow and transformed into four digimon.
Myotismon immediately gave them orders to help the rest of his army pack for the invasion of earth. They happily complied.
"I just have one question sugar," a female voice asked, "When we go to earth, will we have revenge on those brats that destroyed us?"
"You will be able to do whatever you want with them," Myotismon replied and dismissed his newest servants.
They would be helpful allies but also would be able to show Myotismon who the children were that he wanted destroyed.
With part one of his secret plans done it was time for part two…
Zoe had finished with the assignment that Mrs. Takashi had given them. Apparently she had a bad day yesterday and a terrible headache. She wanted quiet and when Mrs. Takashi wanted quiet she was given it. Most of the students really liked her and wanted to stay on her good side.
They had been assigned to read a chapter of the book they and take notes on it. Zoe had read chapter eleven: Qudditch of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and had taken notes about Hermione, Harry, and Ron's suspicions about Snape. She also included how Snape had bewitched Harry's broom, Snape knowing about the three-headed dog in the forbidden carder, and Nicolas Flammel had been mentioned as playing a part in the plot. At the very end she had added that Gryffindor had beaten Syltherin at Quidditch.
Zoe decided to turn it in early. She got up and headed for Mrs. Takashi's desk. Zoe happened to really enjoy the book but some were not interested (Takuya was drawing what looked like Agunimon, well his interpretation anyways), some were so into the book notes had been pushed aside to read it a second time (Koji was on chapter twelve: The Mirror of Erised again), and others were still doing the assignment.
Zoe was about to open her mouth when Mrs. Takashi spoke.
"What is it Zoe?" Mrs. Takashi inquired without looking up while still holding her head in her hands.
"I finished the assignment and wanted to know if I should start the next chapter?" Zoe asked her putting the paper on the desk.
Zoe had started back to her desk when Mrs. Takashi had called Zoe back to her desk.
Zoe started back to the desk as the teacher requested expecting some kind of critique of her notes or questions if she had read the chapter.
As Zoe turned around to come back to her the bell rang. Zoe was about to turn back to her desk for the second or third time when Mrs. Takashi told Zoe to stay after class once she collected her books.
Zoe walked back to her desk picked up the books and went back to Mrs. Takashi's desk to be told what she had done wrong. She was asked something totally different.
"Where did you get that necklace?" asked Kari knowing that Zoe would not understand what a crest was and the significance of it.
"I found it," Zoe replied with a little shakiness in her voice.
Kari knew that it must be odd that an adult, never mind a teacher was asking Zoe where she had got the necklace.
"May I see it please?" Kari asked her.
Zoe handed it over unsure of what Kari wanted it for. Kari took the crest from Zoe and looked closely at it. It was definitely Mimi's Crest of Sincerity. She just knew that it was not a copy.
"May I have it back? I'm going to be late for my next class." Zoe asked hoping she did not sound rude.
"Actually I think I know who owns this. Could I ask her?" Kari asked a little too eagerly.
"I don't know," Zoe said biting her lip.
"Please, I'll give it to you tomorrow safe and sound," Kari promised.
"What if it belongs to your friend?" Zoe asked her.
"I'll still bring it back and tell you what's going on, okay?" Kari asked silently praying Zoe would say yes. She did not want to have to take it without permission.
"Okay," agreed Zoe, "but it has to be back tomorrow."
"Agreed," Kari said jumping for joy inside that one of the crests was found. That left only eight more to go…
Back at Myotismon's lair in the Continent of Darkness, Myotismon had begun the second part of his secret and wicked plan…
Evil from darkness, Child of Darkness, lend me a hand.
Search and destroy all that's good and help me with my mission.
Myotismon finished reading and a purple and black light came from his book and went straight into the portal that had been erected in the basement of the castle.
Time for the true warrior of darkness to arise…
Koichi was walking home from school and was worried. Over what he did not know, but he knew something was coming, something evil.
He turned the corner to head home and noticed a beam of light over his shoulder. Koichi had no time to react and it hit him straight on.
Koichi was in incredible pain and did not have enough time to scream before passing out on the sidewalk two blocks from home and no one in sight.
As Koichi lay on the ground his D-Tector fell out of his backpack. It started to glow a purplish-black color and all of a sudden the D-Tector split in half creating a doppelganger of it.
They were almost completely identical except for the fact that the spirits residing inside were different.
In a matter of moments the new D-Tector was no more, instead a digimon stood beside the unconscious boy.
The digimon was dark with skulls imprinted on parts of his black and red armor with long blonde hair.
He took one look at the boy at his feet and blended in with the shadows, disappearing from sight.
To be continued…
Chapter completed on August 6, 2005
I have no access to a Digidex or Digimon Encyclopedia without the internet so my descriptions might not be that great. Not much action in the chapter but I needed some way to connect what's in my head to what I already had written. Anyways sorry again about no summer updates, I feel really bad. I also realize that this chapter is shorter than some of my others but I felt this was a good place to stop. That way I can pick up with these ideas next chapter right? I was actually going to put the Koichi scene in the next chapter but decided against it. I also hope the magic thing is not that bad, I had a lack of inspiration.
