Spirit Jerebis: Truce of the Codes: Rescue Journey
Episode 4: "Equus Legend"
Previously on Truce of the Codes: The rescue group battled some Miragemon and Forcemon. They won, as Forcemon withdrew. They encountered trouble in reaching into Myotismon's castle but wasn't nothing they could handle. They could only save Koushiro; Hikari and their copedam. The other copedam of the Destined Voyagers were caught again. The rescue group withdrew as Soarmon and Hippo Gryphomon hold the enemies off. They got caught as the rescue group escaped, surviving. On with the conclusion.
The capture of Soarmon and Hippo Gryphomon reminded A.J. of Carl's and Fred's deaths. He never completely got over them. He was even more fearful that Straymon was still out there somewhere.
"Are you O.K. A.J.?" Primon asked.
"No. There are a few troubles on my mind." A.J. replied.
"What's on your mind?" Stan asked.
A.J. sighed, "Fred's and Carl's deaths."
"Soarmon's and Hippo Gryphomon's captures reminded you of that, right?" Stan asked.
A.J. nodded, "Yeah. I'm also worried about Helen."
"As I'm worried about Samantha." Stan agreed.
"No. You don't understand. Helen might think that I'm dead." A.J. explained.
Stan blinked, "Samantha might think I'm dead then. No one would survive such a bolt of lightning. How were you sent here?"
"Sent here? Oh boy! So that blurriness was me teleporting, just like that bolt teleported you here." A.J. commented.
"That's right. I thought you knew that but I guess I was wrong." Stan shrugged.
"Helen is probably heart-broken since she might think I'm dead." A.J. sighed.
"It's probably the same with Samantha." Stan sighed.
"To think that the leader and the first co-leader are dead. It's up to Mark now to lead the league." A.J. reminded.
"We'll see how he does it. I wonder if he's good in leadership, this is a good way to find out." Stan added.
"Things might happen while we're away. I just ask Allah that Mark can handle it smoothly." A.J. remarked.
"And deal with Amy at the same time." Stan chuckled.
A.J. laughed, "I wonder if he can keep close to Amy while he's leader."
"We'll find out when we're done here." Stan smiled.
"Where to now?" A.J. asked.
"What do you mean?" Stan asked.
"I mean you said that our rescue journey is almost over before we reached the dungeons." A.J. explained.
Stan sighed, "I guess I was wrong. I was anticipating to see Samantha again. Minor change of plans."
"Minor change of plans that would make this journey longer. I don't know what to do or where to go now." A.J. complained.
"Look on the bright side, Koushiro and Hikari are with us, we saved them." Stan commented.
"That's a great thing but you're not getting me are you?" A.J. asked.
"I am but you're looking negative at stuff." Stan replied.
"So you don't know either?" A.J. asked.
Stan shook his head, "I'll admit I don't."
"Whatever our destination is, it's a good time to share with you and Primon some of my dreams." A.J. smiled.
"Oh those ones. I forgot we had that deal." Stan chuckled.
"Yeah. I had one back in Actonal mansion, on Helen's birthday." A.J. commented.
"How many is that now?" Stan asked.
"I'm not keeping count. I don't know." A.J. replied.
"Same here. It's soothing enough that we're dreaming such dreams." Stan sighed happily.
"You don't tell Helen about your dreams right?" Primon asked.
"Oh darn! You're right Primon, I didn't tell her any yet." A.J. sighed.
"That's good. You'll at least keep up with our deal. Tell her after we do our deal." Stan advised.
"I have no other choice. We're staying here longer so I would have time to tell both of you." A.J. shrugged.
"What do you think we keep Izzy up to date?" Stan whispered.
"What do you mean?" A.J. asked.
"With Twilasin language." Stan whispered.
"I guess we can teach him that." A.J. shrugged.
"I'd inform him about it. It's up to you to teach him about the vocabulary. Maybe also you would inform him about the history stuff, and knowledge on how for them to warp digivolve." Stan suggested.
"I'd have to find such knowledge through Muchiya. I'd need to read through the Twilasin writings." A.J. agreed.
In the distance, A.J. saw a haze that wasn't part of the desert. In it, he saw a proud astonishing horse or hybrid horse type. He knew for some reason that he was the only one to see it.
"Hold on A.J.!" Primon yelled.
A.J. snapped out as he held on tighter. Primon shifted to his right, while Stan shifted to the left, barely missing Thunder Birdmon. He was heading towards Kabuterimon once he missed Primon and Stan. Primon turned back towards Thunder Birdmon.
"We've got to get to Thunder Birdmon before he gets to Kabuterimon." A.J. commented.
"You'll need to get off of me then." Primon replied.
"Sure thing." A.J. nodded.
He jumped off of Primon, but activated his jets, staying in the air. Kabuterimon flew to the side, avoiding collision with Thunder Birdmon.
Suddenly A.J. screamed loudly. He held onto his head tightly.
"A.J.?" Stan asked.
He let go mysteriously, as he deactivated his jet. He landed gracefully onto the ground. He walked towards Thunder Birdmon.
"Is he fucking crazy?" Stan asked, cursing.
"I don't know. Something happened to him when he screamed. It's unusual for him; this is the first time. It's best for us not to interfere." Primon replied.
Thunder Birdmon sensed A.J. approaching, unscarred. He flew straight at him. A.J.'s skin was kind of pale. Thunder Birdmon scooped down to grab A.J. by his talons. A.J. slid between them. He pushed his palm gently onto Thunder Birdmon's stomach. Thunder Birdmon screamed in agony. A.J.'s claws went deeper into his skin. Without warning, Thunder Birdmon burst into raw data. A.J. sucked it into him. He turned back, facing Primon and Stan. He walked towards them slowly.
"This isn't good." Primon commented.
"He's planning to attack us." Stan remarked.
"How did he deal with Thunder Birdmon that easily?" Primon asked.
"Thunder Birdmon - Bird Data - Armor Friendship of Gotsumon - Attacks: Thunder Storm and Spark Wing." Yamuchi analyzed.
"He's paler." Centermon noted, reaching Primon and Stan.
"What's wrong with him?" Hikari asked.
"It's more like what happened to him." Gatomon corrected.
Centermon backed away with Stan and Primon, A.J. was getting too close.
"Shadow Horse!" A voice yelled.
The attack went through A.J., sending him unconscious. They all turned to the source of the attack. Stan; Primon, and Centermon all gasped.
"Didn't Equalmon get deleted once Fred died?" Stan asked.
"He did." Centermon replied.
"Then how do you explain this?" Stan asked.
"A.J. prevented Straymon from absorbing Equalmon, saving him. I never knew he was regenerated so quickly." Primon exclaimed.
"Recrescentied." Equalmon corrected.
"Recrescentied?" Hikari asked.
"Don't look at me. I don't know what that means either." Gatomon shrugged.
Kabuterimon landed. Koushiro and the others got off of Kabuterimon.
"Recrescentied isn't even in the dictionary." Koushiro pointed out.
"Recrescentied is like regenerated, but it only happens to soul-warriors. Recrescention happens when the sailor's soul-warrior is in danger in any way. If the soul-warrior is deleted or even absorbed, he or she gets recrescentied to save his or her sailor from the danger. A.J. might explain it better when he wakes up." Equalmon explained.
"Isn't A.J. dead?" Kabuterimon asked.
Equalmon shook his head, "I can control my attacks. That wasn't a knockout. It was strong enough to make A.J. faint."
"So he's still alive?" Willis asked.
Equalmon nodded, "He sure is."
"Wait a minute. You're Fred's soul-warrior, how could you be A.J.'s?" Stan asked.
"That's what I'd like to know." Greemon agreed.
"I was made to be A.J.'s soul-warrior. Even A.J. makes mistakes. He didn't know." Equalmon replied.
"We better make a camp until A.J.'s recovers. It might take all night before he recovers. Tomorrow, we'd figure something out." Stan decided.
"We're far enough from Myotismon's castle. We're safe and secure as long as there's a guard." Kabuterimon agreed.
"I'd be the first. Do any of you want to be with me?" Stan asked.
"I'll be with you." Primon replied.
"I'm with you as well." Centermon nodded.
Primon decrevolved back into Ememon. Centermon decrevolved back into Zonemon. Kabuterimon devolved back into Tentomon. They all got to work in preparing camp.
-Fight them away. Block them. - A voice remarked.
"What? Who?" A.J. asked.
-Meet with Misterim. He'd explain more. I'll contact you later. Misterim is in Realm of Charges. - The voice explained.
"Who are you?" A.J. asked.
Silence. Blackness surrounded A.J., as he closed his eyes.
He reopened them, finding it to be night. He was in the camp the rescue group made.
"Good, you're awake." Stan commented.
A.J. blinked, "What happened?"
"Don't you remember?" Ememon asked.
A.J. shook his head, "No. Please tell me."
"You went nuts before Equalmon knocked you out." Zonemon replied.
"Nuts? Equalmon? Knockout?" A.J. asked.
"Don't you remember yourself screaming and holding your head?" Stan asked.
"Yeah." A.J. nodded.
"What happened after that?" Ememon asked.
"I was in this dark place." A.J. replied.
"What happened there?" Stan asked.
"A voice kept talking to me. It seemed to be a dream or vision, something like that." A.J. replied.
"Did the voice tell you anything valuable?" Zonemon asked.
"Yeah. Misterim is in the Realm of Charges, we should meet him." A.J. replied.
"Misterim?" Equalmon asked.
A.J. gasped, "Equalmon!"
"Thanks for not letting Straymon absorb me. I'm originally your soul-warrior." Equalmon explained.
"You're mine?!" A.J. exclaimed.
"You bet ya." Equalmon smiled.
"Do you know how to get to the Realm of Charges?" Stan asked.
"Sure do. We'll need to get to Sacred Star Island. There's a volcanic mountain there that'll send us to Realm of Charges." Equalmon replied.
"Don't tell us that we're going to go into the volcano?" Stan asked.
"To get to Realm of Charges, we'll need to pass through an active volcanic mountain. Once touching the lava, we'll be particlized to the Realm of Charges." Equalmon explained.
"This is still the beginning. Finish one, enter another." Zonemon sighed.
