Children of the Legend

Kari Minamoto

Author's Note: You'd think that once summer started, everything would die down right? Maybe for other people but not for me! I've also kind of had a new distraction. In June I found Detective Conan/Case Closed. I've kind of developed an addiction for it. So I spent the first half of July reading some DC/CC fics. Sorry bout that. I needed to fulfill my Conan want. I hope you like this chapter! I can't say enough for your support. It's what keeps me writing! Here's the chapter you've been waiting for (an update at least!)

Chapter 23- Rock'n n' Roll'n

Korikakumon looked a bit more menacing than Kumamon had. Just thinking about his size made Grumblemon think more about power and less on picking on him. However, he was dimwitted and didn't realize that he was, at least size-wise, outmatched. He had one mission: Get the crest. It was the only thing on his mind, since he was so idiotic, he couldn't multitask even if he wanted to.

Korikakumon just looked at his enemy. 'What does he mean by crest…wait…it must be the necklaces. But what's so important with them?'

"What do you want with the necklace," Korikakumon yelled at his enemy.

"For me to know and not to tell," Grumblemon replied while wigging a finger in the warrior of ice's direction as if he was a disobedient child who had gotten into the cookie jar. And had been caught.

Tommy suddenly de-digvolved, taking the warrior of rock by surprise. He wanted to know more about these crests. If Grumblemon wanted it, then it had to be powerful. He wouldn't attack for no reason. There was something special about the necklace, and Tommy wanted to know what it was.

Kari was staring at the cold eyes. There were too many for a normal person to have, even a normal digimon to have. She stared worried about what would happen. She didn't have Tai, Gatomon, or T.K. She didn't have her crest. As far as she was concerned, she was in a terrible predicament.

The nameless digimon had already shot a laser that had missed her by inches. Kari knew she was not going to be as lucky next time. Kari was still staring at the digimon when all the eyes focused on the part of the wall that had somewhat collapsed.

Kari didn't see anything for a moment and then there was a burst of fire, fueled by wind, and as bright as the sun. Whatever it was did not seem to phase the digimon.

Three digimon burst onto the scene. Two of which looked strangely familiar. The ones in control of fire and wind had saved once before, from the DarkTyrannomon. This time they were joined by another digimon. He was dressed in a silver metal and a long scarf. The silver digimon didn't look happy at what he saw, in fact he seemed incensed.

"What are you doing here Duskmon!" he barked at the black digimon with to many eyes.

There was silence before the digimon answered.

"I was sent here to destroy the older light, but now I can destroy both at the same time. When there is no light, I will feel no pain," Duskmon answered with coldness in his voice that sent a chill up everyone's spine.

No one moved until Duskmon drew his blade.

A man was passing by an area of the city most people don't visit. Not that it's a bad section of the city; it was just a modest area with nothing all that special to offer its tourists. However, it happened to be the same area that Davis lived in. A quiet home it a quiet area.

At least it was typically a quiet area. That is when there isn't a boy yelling and someone with extremely poor grammar yelling back.

Davis couldn't resist. The curiosity was to tempting. He poked his head around the corner of the house expecting to see two kids: a bully and a victim. He was not expecting to see a short fat digimon with a crazy hammer and a boy who didn't look as afraid as he should have been. Davis was not sure what to do. He had to save the boy. He looked like he was only around eleven or twelve years old. Much too young to be dealing with a digimon.

Davis did the only thing he could think of, run right into the argument.

Duskmon brought down his blade. It was so quiet everyone in the room could hear the swish it made, beckoning people and digimon to their death.

"Are you scared of me," Duskmon coldly announced to the room.

He eyed Kari on the floor and pointed the sword at her. "You're first to die," Duskmon said while lifting the sword in the air.

Kari cringed and closed her eyes preparing for the blow, except it never came. She opened one eye partially to see the fire digimon blocking her from the sword and before she could react she was off the ground and in the air.

"Agunimon, I'm taking her to safety," the butterfly told her companion.

He merely nodded at her as his attention was only on the fight.

Once out of the school all Kari could hear was the rush of the wind as she flew past buildings, people, and cars hoping the digimon really was taking her to safety as they took flight.

"That was low to pick on a defenseless human!" Lobomon spit at his other half. "What is the real reason you were after her!"

The digimon was as cold as usual. Nothing ever fazed him.

"The light," was his simple reply.

"That doesn't tell us anything," Agunimon shot back.

"Fine I understand you want more than what I already told you. I'm ordered to destroy that light. I'm doing it because I want to though. Not because it was an order. To make me feel more alive. You are my other half's twin. You embody the light. That is more than enough reason to destroy you. But the female human, she's a little different. My master, as I am told I must call him, hates the girl. She brought about his downfall before with her light. If she could destroy him, she is a danger to me. Therefore she must be eliminated," Duskmon answered as if it was the most obvious answer.

Aguimon and Lobomon just looked at him.

"You're sick!" Agunimon yelled at him.

Takuya and Koji quickly used the slide evolution to become BurningGreymon and KendoGarurumon.

Then the fight began. There were flashes of red, silver, and black. If someone were to see them fighting, all they would have seen was a blur. They were evenly matched. Light and Flame- symbols of hope against the darkness.

No one could seem to gain an upper hand over the other. It was evenly matched. Each side matching blow for blow. Not thinking about the consequence, only thinking about what was at stake. If they lost there would be trouble. And as soon as it all started, it stopped.

Duskmon backed into a corner and disappeared into the shadows without a word.

KendoGarurumon and BurningGreymon looked at each other before dedigivolving.

"What was that all about?" Takuya asked his friend while panting for breath.

"I have no idea," Koji replied equally as dumbfounded.

Tommy wasn't sure what to do. He dedigivolved for a reason, to find out what Grumblemon meant by crests. However, he wasn't expecting an adult to be around, much less throw himself between the digimon and him.

"I'm okay," Tommy told the man trying to sound blithe.

"No you aren't. Now run," the man said while still holding his ground.

Tommy wasn't sure what to do. He expected the man to run any second, scared of the rock hammer swinging digimon. The man didn't look fazed or startled. He looked determined. He was determined to protect Tommy no matter what. Considering the circumstances that was a slightly crazy idea.

He couldn't ask Grumblemon any questions with the man around.

"Really I'm okay," Tommy tried again.

"I'm Davis and famous for being stubborn and rushing into things. Now go!" the man said.

Tommy just stared at him not really sure what to think. Suddenly Davis grabbed the boy and they landed a couple feet from where they had previously been standing. It was a good thing too since there was now a hammer in that exact same place they had been moments before.

The two stared.

"I got you this time. You don't run," Grumblemon laughed at them.

Tommy suddenly got up before Davis could stop him. He reached into his pocket to pull out, what he now knew was a crest.

Tommy wasn't really sure what to do with it but instinct took over. He aimed the crest at digimon and it started to glow a deep gold. It gradually got brighter and brighter until the digimon was encased in the light and it blinded anyone nearby. Just as quickly as the light appeared, it vanished. All that was left was Grumblemon with his fractal code completely exposed. Tommy took out his DTector that had been in his pocket.

"Fractal Code Digitize!" Tommy said as the spirits and fractal code were absorbed into the small machine.

Tommy sat back down on the ground. Not really sure what was happening. He constantly glanced between the DTector, the crest, and the spot Grumblemon had previously occupied. He had forgotten that there was someone else around until he heard Davis say, "What just happened?"

To be continued…

I really am not all that great with battle scenes and I really don't like writing them all that much. They're necessary though. It's so hard to make them creative and have interaction between yelling attacks back and forth. I know it's another short chapter. I deeply apologize for that. I really do. I'm thinking that it's getting to the big battles and finding out about each other REALLY soon. I'm thinking this fic will probably be somewhere between 25 and 35 chapters depending on how long each chapter is. I'd be surprised if it was any longer. I really want to write another multichapter in another genre (Fruits Basket or Detective Conan) while working on CotL but I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle two (or three) updates. I'm still playing with the idea. I'm also in the mood to write a one-shot so don't be surprised if one turns up soon. It's been forever since I've seen Digimon. I hope I'm still keeping everyone in character. I actually needed to use a Digimon Encyclopedia to refresh my memory of attacks (and spelling of names!).

Please let me know what you thought of this with a review!

P.S. I wanted to get this out before Friday/Saturday. Everyone knows what's happening then - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! I can't wait, and that's why this update is coming when it is!
