Hello!!! Once more!! I tired my hardest to get some emotions out of this chapter... but I can't find the right words... oh well... please enjoy!!!
Matt carried the unconscious high school girl to the front of the shrine. TK did the same to Kari and Yolie and Ken carried Davis.
"So, are you guys going to tell us what's going on here?" Yolie asked after settling Davis beside Kari.
"To tell you the truth, we don't know either", Matt said and then entered the shrine.
"TK, are you okay?" Cody asked.
"Yeah I'm fine", TK replied.
"Don't worry! We'll watch them", Veemon said while wiping Davis' face
"Yeah, you should follow Matt inside", Patamon said.
TK smiled and nodded. And the rest followed Matt inside. They found Matt examining a stone stand.
"Something was supposed to be here", Matt said, "Do you know anything Ken?"
Ken shook his head, "No. If only the Devas were here, they should know something."
"Where are Devas?" Yolie asked.
"When we first arrived here there was a crater just outside the shrine", TK said.
"It wasn't made in your battle?" Cody asked and TK shook his head in reply.
"Then you were already too late", Matt said.
"Guys!! There are digimons outside!" Veemon came in running, "and they're looking for TK!"
Veemon led all the Digidestineds outside and there they found three digimons standing in front of their digimons while their digimons were all at their fighting stance. One of them looked like a dog from a Chinese painting and spotted TK at the entrance.
"The child of hope!" the digimon shouted and all three digimons bowed their heads at the sight of TK.
"What's going on?" TK asked as they approached the three digimons.
"We are the three Devas of the eastern parts of the digiworld", the dog-like digimon said, "I am Chatsuramon"
"I am Indramon", the horse digimon beside Chatsuramon said.
"And I am Mihiramon", the tiger digimon said.
"They said they were looking for you TK", Patamon said.
"We are here to deliver this to you child of hope", Chatsuramon said and approached TK. The digimons were going to attack but Matt raised his hand stopping the digimons actions. Chatsuramon revealed a tag hanging on one of his horns. TK took the tag and his eyes widened. When he saw what was inside the tag.
"MY CREST!" he shouted, "but I thought..."
"Take a closer look", Chatsuramon said.
TK examined the crest of hope and noticed there were cracks on it and some parts were missing.
"Well, I guess it's better than nothing", TK said jokingly. Matt smiled as he saw his little brother finally able to make jokes again.
"The restoration wasn't enough to make it usable, but we believe you could finish the process", Mihiramon said.
"Tai..?." a weak voice said and everyone turned their heads. Gatomon was already beside Kari as she sat up, "where am I?"
"You fell unconscious when Belphemon released his attack", Gatomon said. The three Devas shivered at the mention of the name.
"Do you know what's inside this shrine?" Ken asked.
The three Devas looked at each other and Chatsuramon nodded," A treasure."
"What kind of treasure?" Ken asked once again.
"We are only guardians so we don't much about it either", Indramon said.
"Then tell us what you know if you really want us to protect this world", Matt said.
"Very well", Chatsuramon said, "we don't know much about the treasure here because this is not our domain."
"Each sovereign has their own treasure and we were created to keep it from falling into the wrong hands", Mihiramon said.
"So, aren't you supposed to be guarding your treasure?" Yolie asked.
"We are", the three Devas said in unison. And everyone turned their heads to TK.
"This?" TK said holding up his crest.
"We don't know", Indramon said. Everyone was now confused.
"Azulongmon's treasure was hidden so well even we don't know what it is until the pieces of that crest appeared in our shrine", Mihiramon said.
Everyone turned silent until Chatsuramon broke it.
"If you don't have anymore questions, we'll be on our way then", Chatsuramon said turned around to leave.
"Wait!" TK shouted and ran towards the three Devas. He stopped in front of Chatsuramon and bowed his head down, "Thank you!!" he said to express his full gratitude.
"Don't thank us child of hope", Chatsuramon said," we are only following Azulongmon's wishes", with that the three Devas went away. TK pulled up and stared at the Devas as they vanished onto the forest. He turned around and ran towards his friends.
Yolie helped Kari sit up. Kari brushed off some her on her face and rubbed her forehead. And she remembered everything that had happened before losing consciousness. She suddenly grabbed Gatomon and pulled her to a powerful hug.
"Gatomon!!" Kari held Gatomon in front of her to have a better look, "Were you hurt?"
"I'm fine Kari, don't worry", Gatomon said smiling at Kari.
"Kari you shouldn't move too much", Yolie said trying to calm her friend down.
TK kneeled down to check on his best friend, "I'm glad you're okay", TK said and smiled at her. She smiled back at him.
"Ow! My head", Davis said while pulling himself up. Ken helped him out.
"Davis!" Veemon jumped onto his lap.
"Take it easy there, we heard you took a blow from a digimon", Ken said.
"Yeah, thanks Davis", TK said and offered a hand.
"Hehehe", Davis scratched the back of his head, "anytime", he said and shook hands with him.
Kari's smile grew bigger and some tears started to form at the sight of the two used-to-be rivals grew closer.
TK helped Kari up and Ken helped Davis. As Davis was standing up he noticed the unconscious.
"What's Yuri doing here?" Davis said.
Everyone was shocked when Davis said her name.
"You know her?" Matt said.
"Yeah, she's one of Jun's friends, is she a digidestined too?" Davis said and kneeled down beside the girl.
"She was the pink digimon that attacked us", Kari said.
"You knew?" Matt said turning his head towards Kari and sounding even more surprised since she was the one unconscious the whole time.
"I heard her cries when Angewomon attacked her", she stated. Gatomon jumped up to her arms and TK placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Anyway it'll be bad if she wakes up here", Matt said.
"I agree, lets take her back to our world", Ken said.
"I'll do it!" Yolie volunteered and held up her D3,"DIGI-EGG UP!"
"HAWKMON ARMOR DIGIVOLVE TO...THE WINGS OF LOVE: HALSEMON!!"
Davis and TK carried Yuri and placed her on Halsemon's back in front of Yolie.
"I'll go on ahead!" she saluted to the others and turned to Halsemon,"Let's go Halsemon"
"Sure", Halsemon replied and with that they flew off.
"I guess we're walking then", TK said.
Kari suddenly took out her digivice,"DIGI-EGG UP!!"
"GATOMON ARMOR DIGIVOLVE TO... ANGEL OF LIGHT: NEFERTIMON!!"
Kari mounted Nefertimon and offered a hand to TK,"Why walk when we can fly?"
TK accepted the offer and sat behind Kari.
She just giggled at him.
Patamon flew to TK's arms and made himself comfortable there, "we're ready!" he said.
"Hang on tight!" Nefertimon announced and TK hold on to his hat then Nefertimon flew off..
Davis and Ken brought out their digivices. Cody noticed Davis' new Digivice.
"How come yours transformed too?" Cody asked.
"I don't know?" he shrugged,"DIGI-EGG UP!!"
"VEEMON ARMOR DIGIVOLVE TO... STORM OF FRIENDSHIP: RAIDRAMON!!!"
Wormon started glowing,"WORMON DIGIVOLVE TO... STINGMON!!!"
Davis mounted Raidramon,"Come on up Cody!"
"Sure", Cody nodded and sat behind Davis.
Davis noticed how tall Cody's height had certainly changed, "Wow! You've certainly grown. Not the little kid anymore huh".
Cody was now as tall as he is, "I am in junior high", Cody said while holding Armadillomon.
Matt climbed on board behind Cody with Tsunomon in his arms, "Are we ready to go?"
"Sure", Davis said and turned to Raidramon,"Let's go!"
"Okay!" Raidramon said and ran through the trees.
"Let's go Ken!" Stingmon said and Ken nodded. Stingmon flew up carrying Ken.
Everyone came back to their respective homes late in the afternoon except for Matt who arrived at Odaiba high with Yuri who was hanging on his arms. He was trying to let her sit up in a wall when the door suddenly flew open.
"WHERE WERE YOU!!", Mimi came in and clearly she was angry then she noticed Matt kneeling down while holding Yuri's shoulders and his face was close to hers. Mimi's face turned red, "I... I'm sorry!!", then she turned around and ran away.
"WAIT! IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!!" Matt pleaded but he couldn't let go of Yuri. If he did, she'll fall sideways and her head will hit the floor.
"Mimi, where are you going?" Matt heard Sora's voice and the door opened once more.
The door revealed Sora and she noticed Matt's awkward position with the high school girl,"YAMATO ISHIDA!!" she shouted.
Tai's head suddenly appeared peering behind Sora and his eyes widened at the sight of his bestfriend,"Oooohhh... I didn't know you were like that Matt?" Tai jokingly said.
"IT'S BECAUSE I'M NOT!!" Matt shouted.
"Hehehe... of course you're not", Tai said jokingly then ran towards Matt and helped him settle Yuri.
After that Matt explained everything that had happened in the digiworld.
"Why didn't you say so earlier before Mimi ran away?" Tai asked.
"I'm not the one making assumptions here!" Matt replied sounding annoyed by what just happened.
"Anyway", Sora said cutting off the two boys, "we need to let Izzy know about this and let him come up with a plan", the two boys nodded.
"Well", Tai stood up along with Matt, "it's getting late, and we better head home."
"You're right", Matt said looking out the window.
The three of them carried Yuri towards the infirmary.
"What were you thinking leaving a life-size cardboard cut of yourself as a substitute?" Sora said, "It did separate the girls from the boys for a little while, but still no one was fooled."
"Really? I thought it was brilliant!" Matt said.
"Really Matt, I thought you were more creative than that", Tai said.
"Well then, it'll be cleverer next time", Matt replied.
Sora sighed in defeat and thought, "boys".
That night TK settled his tag and broken crest beside his Digivice on his desk and looked at it. Patamon landed on his head.
"I don't think we could use it", Patamon said.
TK nodded, "but I think it only needs some time for it to be complete again"
"Until then we can't do anything", Patamon said.
TK stood up and went to bed," I hope they leave some fight for us so you can digivolve too"
Patamon flew towards his own bed,"yeah..." the digimon said and wonders if he could digivolve to Seraphimon again. The thought made him smile.
"Good night Patamon", TK said.
"Good night TK", Patamon replied. And TK turned off the light then a little piece of the crest was restored.
Monday came and Izzy received the news about what happened to the Southern point. They had another meeting on the rooftop during lunch and this time they were all present except for their digimons and Joe.
"We can't do anything in two weeks time because of our tests." Izzy announced.
"I know, it's such a pain", Tai said.
"It's going to be hectic in these 2 weeks, you three better study", Matt said.
"Speak for yourself Ishida", Mimi said. Matt flinched at what Mimi said.
"I think it's best for you three to study together so its easier to get a hold of you", Sora said.
The TK, Davis and Kari nodded at the same time.
"So, how is Yuri doing?" Sora asked Davis.
"No good, she doesn't remember anything", Davis said.
"We can't do anything about it, can we?" Sora said then turned to Matt looking at him suspiciously.
"What!?" Matt jumped at Sora's expression, "I already asked her and she can't remember anything."
Sora shrugged and said, "Okay then."
The three decided that they'll study together at Kari's apartment in the weekend after soccer and basketball practice.
From time to time, Lily would come up to TK and talk to him but TK kept on rejecting her offer on going out with an excuse to study. And even the weekend was loaded. Matt wasn't kidding when he meant the week was going to be hectic. Homework from every teacher they have and projects that has to be finished in two weeks. Not only that, Exams are coming.
And then the end of the week came. The final bell rang and everyone stood up to say goodbye to their teacher.
"Ms. Yagami, can I talk to you here in private", Ms. Nonaka said before everyone gathered their things.
"Yes, ma'am", Kari replied and waited for everyone to leave.
TK and Davis also stayed but Ms. Nonaka motioned for them to leave. After the boys closed the door behind them, only Kari and Ms. Nonaka were left inside the classroom. Kari came up to the teacher's desk.
"I heard that three Devas were deleted last weekend", Ms. Nonaka said. Kari looked down on the ground and nodded. Ms. Nonaka's tone was implying that they failed at what they were supposed to do.
"We were too late when we arrived", Kari said.
"And who went there to the Southern point?" Ms. Nonaka asked. Kari's head bolted up and looked at Ms. Nonaka in surprise
"How did she know?" Kari thought.
"Well?" Ms. Nonaka said raising an eyebrow.
Kari swallowed a bit and she felt she was about to be scolded by her school teacher in failing her duties as a digidestined.
"Me, TK and Davis then Matt followed after a few hours", Kari said. She closed her eyes bracing herself for what the teacher was about to say.
Ms. Nonaka sighed and started to massaging her temples, "I guess it can't be helped".
Kari opened her eyes and to her relief Ms. Nonaka didn't say anything harsh.
"But you still have to go the other points", Ms. Nonaka said.
"But we can't! We have so much schoolwork", Kari said.
"I'm sure two from the whole group should be available", Ms. Nonaka started to gather her things, "make sure at least two crest holders could go", Ms. Nonaka stood up holding up her things, "can you promise me that".
"Yes ma'am", Kari replied.
"Very well then, you may go", Ms. Nonaka said and she walked towards the door and opened it then left.
All the Digidestineds couldn't go to the digiworld that weekend because school was now a priority.
In the Digiworld, the darkdigidestined's next target was the western point. Glen went there alone.
"Hmmm, a shrine in the middle of a dessert." Glen said.
"Hurry up and get the treasure", a voice from his Digivice said.
"Yeah yeah, after I have some fun", Glen said.
Three digimons stepped out of the shrine. The three Devas guarding it.
"Here I go then", Glen said and raised his Digivice then dark energy started to swirl around him until it covered all parts of his body and started to grow.
"DIGITAL UPLOAD!!! CREST OF GLUTTONY", he shouted and the dark energy started to vanish. And revealed a digimon wearing a biker's clothing with a giant gun on his left leg.
"Beelzemon"
"Go ahead and finish them quickly", the voice from his Digivice said.
"I know already!! I just need their data to reach my complete form", Beelzemon said.
Then a giant snake and an ox launched their attacks at him and a fierce battle began.
The battle's explosion were heard all over the western hemisphere. A sandstorm appeared to cover the whole battle. Gunshots and explosion were still heard.
"DARKNESS CLAW!!" Beelzemon's voice echoed from the sandstorm. And the sandstorm disappeared which revealed two Devas being absorbed by Beelzemon's Digivice.
After absorbing the data he proceeded to the shrine and there he saw a frightened chicken digimon named Sinduramon. But the chicken still stood his ground.
"Hmph! Let's what you got, chicken", Beelzemon said and pointed a gun at the flightless bird.
"POSITRON PULSE!!" Sinduramon shouted and shoots a beam of electricity towards Beelzemon but Beelzemon fired his gun at the same time.
The bullet just passed through the beam and drew whole on Sinduramon's chest then the Deva started to deteriorate but Beelzemon pulled out his Digivice and started to absorb the digimon.
"Tch! Still not enough!" Beelzemon said and reverted back to a boy.
"Get the treasure already!!" the voice said.
"Geez!! Fine!! I'll go in", Glen replied.
Glen walked inside the shrine. Glen saw a weapon floating in the middle. It was like two swords put together at each end and formed a giant spear.
"So this is Baihumon's treasure", Glen said and pointed his Digivice to it.
"DIGITAL DOWNLOAD!!" his voice echoed inside the shrine and the weapon started to shrink and it came closer to him until the Digivice stored it.
"I got the Gungnir! Now what?" he asked his Digivice.
"Go back to our world and I'll start examining that weapon", the voice replied.
"Okay then", Glen said and left the shrine.
Glen appeared inside a room. Ichiro, Lily and Tom was there.
"Here!" Glen threw his Digivice to Tom and the genius caught it and started connecting it to his computer.
"We better take a little break", Ichiro said.
"What for?" Tom said now typing something on the computer.
"Exams", the leader said.
"Fine with me", Lily said.
"Whatever", Tom said; he was now distracted by the computer.
Lily and Ichiro left the room without saying another word and Glen fell asleep at the bed.
I know... the treasure is with TK's crest... take a guess what it is!!! Come on... i know you want to...
Hehehe Please review!!
