Digimon Trinity: Episode Four

"Ichiro"

Now's it's called 'Trinity' for a reason. Three chosen children. Makes sense right? ...but you may be asking "Why the hell are there only two children!?" Well, for one, they're teenagers, not children. ...and two, well I just haven't introduced the third yet. I was planning on one character a chapter, but it didn't work like that. No room for poor Ichiro. ...but, now, here's Ichiro's grand entrance!

----

"Listen, I do not wish to escalate things into violence." A teenaged boy calmly stated, crossing his arms, his chestnut hair blowing in the wind. "Please, leave me and Terriermon in peace."

"...but, Ichiro, I can take them!" The little rabbit-like creature next to the boy protested.

"Terriermon. There is no reason to resort to fighting. It is an uncivilized practice."

The four, giant, blue bugs around them stepped foward. "Are you calling us uncivilized!?" The biggest one demanded.

"Yes, you would be correct in that deduction, Kabuterimon." Ichiro smirked cooly, stuffing his hands into the pockets of blue jeans.

"Attack!" The large one cried, the other three launching bolts of electricity towards the pair. They all missed, but the explosions were powerful enouch to launch peices of rock and tree past Ichiro.

Ichiro calmy whiped a fragment off of his collared white school shirt, complete with a school logo on the right breast pocket. "Alright Terriermon. Just be careful, okay?"

Terriermon nodded. "Terrier tornado!" The creature jumped into the air and began spinning at a rapid pace. He flew into the closest Kabuterimon, causing the insect to step back, but leaving him rather unharmed.

Terriermon bounced off, falling to the ground. "Ow! No fair! You're too big!" He complained, standing slowly.

Ichiro looked down at what his mind seemed to tell him was called a Digivice. Once again, two of the three buttons were glowing. He started to push the white one, but his thumb stopped. "Wait, I used that one last time." His thumb shifted, touching the black button instead. "Dark Evolution!"

Terriermon was surrounded by a black orb, which grew into the shape of a large dinosaur. The black hue faded, leaving a large, black dinosaur with lime green stripes. "Dark Tyrannomon!" The now Dark Tyrannomon opened his huge jaws, a large ball of fire forming inside. "Fire blast!" He roared, sending the ball into the chest of the bigger Kabuterimon, who exploded into thousands of pieces.

The other three Kabuterimon stepped back, but took another step foward. "You will pay!" They all cried in unison, sending three bolts of lighting at Dark Tyrannomon, who fell backwards, dust filling the air.

----

The sound of an explosion in the distance suddenly broke the silence. Erin sat straight up, looking at Gotsumon.

"We're going, aren't we?" Gotsumon asked, already knowing the answer,

Erin simply nodded as she stood and ran out of the shack, and into the surrounding forest.

"Greeaat... Looks like we have to run... ...again..." Gotsumon shook his head, running after her. "Erin! Slow down!"

----

Arekku also heard the explosion. "Diablomon?" He took off running in the direction of the explosion. There was a chance it was still Diablomon, on his war path, destroying everything in the way.

He arrived almost half an our later, staying out of site. It looked like it was another human here, in the digital world. The Dark Tryannomon with him seemed to be giving a good fight, but didn't really look to stand a chance againts the three Kabuterimon. ...and then he heard more voices.

----

"Arekku, is that you!?" She ran into the clearing, stopping in her tracks. That wasn't Arekku! ...and there was one hell of a battle going one. There was a huge, black Tyranosaurus Rex trying to fend of three giant bugs. It was like seeing some scene from millions of years a go, the pure instict of survival all that was controlling the beast.

"Gotsumon!" She cried, pushing the black button. The white button seemed to never produce anything helpful in battle, so maybe the black one one. "Dark Evolution!"

"Gotsumon! Dark Evolve to...!" He was surrounded by the familiar orb, but this time black instead of white. A flaming beast climbed from the black orb, a golden skull gleamin in the light, three golden claws on each hand. "Dark Rizamon!"

Erin stared in awe. Gotsumon could change into two different beasts? This was incredible. "Go get 'em, Dark Rizamon!"

Dark Rizamon nodded, leaping onto the closest Kabuterimon, beating it's head violently with fists of crimson flames. He spread his jaws, a crimson light forming in them. He jumped off, launching the energy into the Kabuterimon's chest. "Dark Flare!" The attack landed with deadly precision, and explosion consuming the Kabuterimon.

"Electro Shocker!" Another Kabuterimon screamed, hitting Dark Rizamon in the air, sending him to the ground.

---

"Arekku" A squeaky voice said, poking the boy in the leg.

Arekku turned around, his eyes lighting up as he saw his friend standing there. "Labramon!"

The little dog creature nodded. "That's me!"

Arekku grabbed Labramon in his arms, holding back tears. "I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay... I forgive you. I mean, we're partners. I can't hold a grudge againts you."

"Great! How about we help out, buddy?"

"Sure. Let's do it."

"Light evolution!"

---

Cerberusmon jumped from what seemed from nowhere, ripping throught the closest Kabuterimon. The insect fell, black liquids flying into the air, the beast destinigrating.

Arekku emereged behind the beast, his arms crossed. "Finish the other two, Cerberusmon."

"Portals of Darkness!" The canine roared, black holes forming in the ground. He leaped into the air, knocking one Kabuterimon in. Bouncing off the insect he tackled the other in. Landing on the ground, a light covered his body as he changed back to Terriermon, the holes disapearing at the same time.

"Arekku!" Erin screamed with delight, running over to the boy and hugging him.

"Erin." He looked at her coldly, standing still.

"Arekku? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Erin."

Ichiro walked over to the duo. "May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Arekku. Goodbye." With that he turned to leave, but Erin grabbed him.

"Please don't leave again. I need you..."

Arekku stood there, silent.

"Maybe we should stay, Arekku." Labramon insisted.

Arekku stayed quiet for a moment. "Fine... ...but when I find Devimon, you stay out of the fight."

Erin nodded. "Fine. As long as you stay..."

There was silence for a moment, but it was broken by the clearing of a throat.

"Oh," Erin said, slightly embarassed. "I'm Erin, who're you?"

"My Name is Ichiro. Nagami Ichiro. Pleased to meet you." Ichiro held out a hand to Arekku, who simply gave a cold stare.

"Oh don't mind Arekku... He's just... Different lately..." Erin smiled.

"Well, I'm leaving. Come if you like." Arekku stated, walking away, Labramon by his side.

"Fine! I'm coming!" She started to walk, but stop, turning back to Ichiro. "You coming?"

Ichiro nodded, following behind her.

Devimon grinned, as the group disapeared from the screen he was watching. "So, the Trinity has assembled."

A/N: Heh... Sorry for the lack of updates. I went down to Florida to see my mom, and sort of got out of the practice of writing daily. I hope you enjoyed chapter four. Please review!
