Chapter 4 The Explanation: Meeting Zoe Orimoto
In the city there was a black limo driving through the streets with Zoe and Fango sitting in the back next to each other.
"May I ask what you intend to do Zoe?" Fango asked with his arms crossed.
"You know the plan Fango." Zoe said as she had the book in her lap with her hands on it.
"Not that it worries me too much, but there's always a chance they'll put up a fight."
"Then it'll be worse for them."
Fango looked at Zoe out of the corner of his eye.
"Perhaps they'll listen to reason perhaps not, but it does'nt really matter."
Fango turned his head to look directly at Zoe as she looked forward with a hard stare.
"The time has come. It must be done."

At the school everyone was going home as it was the end of the day. Yolie and a red headed girl with orange eyes were moving a box with a heavy computer inside to another classroom.
"Ok now steady Yolie." The girl said.
"Im trying to Amy but this thing weighs a tone." Yolie grunted.
"I thought computer's were suppose to be light." Amy groaned. "This feels like a ton of bricks."
As they continued carrying the box Yolie saw Davis walk past her making Yolie let go of the box as she greeted him.
"Hey Davis you going home already?" Yolie asked, Davis nodded but still kepted on walking. "Well ok then I'll see ya later." Yolie smiled and waved as Davis waved back then he was out of sight making Yolie put her hand down as she lost her smile.
"I wonder what's wrong with Davis, he's been acting all spaced out and moody all day long." Yolie wondered putting her right finger on her cheek. "I hope its nothing serious." Yolie then looked out the window with her hands behind her back. "But then again he's super cute when he's moody."
"Yolie little help." Amy grunted as Yolie saw she was loosing her grip on the box bending down.
"Oh Amy! I am so sorry!" Yolie shouted quickly helping her with the box.

Davis was walking through the street as he was looking at the ground deep in thought.
"That dinosaur yesterday, he was just like Volt." Davis thought as he got a replay of the battle he had with Mike and Frolaw. "Something happend during that battle yesterday. And Volt, he finally realized or at least put together just how unusual he is."

"Come on lets go home." Davis said as he began walking off.
"Um Davis?" Volt asked making Davis turn around and look at him.
"What is it Volt?" Davis asked.
"I finally get it. When that guy said a magic spell ice came out of that dinosaur's mouth and they had the same kind of book except their's was white and mine is blue." Volt pointed at the book in Davis' right hand. "That time the streetlight near your house got busted, then at the bank, and the fight just now."
"Yeah what's your point?" Davis asked but he knew where this was going.
"At first I didn't know what to think and was sure if was you causing the blue lightning with some sort of trick or gadget. I mean how else could it happen?" Volt was looking down at the ground frowning. "Now I figured out how it happens, its not you is it Davis?" Volt was clutching his fist and gritting his teeth. "We both know its me, Im the one who makes the blue lightning. Im like that dinosaur right?" Volt asked.
"Yeah your like him Volt." Davis said frowning.
"Yeah I thought so." Volt said. "So, Im a freak? A monster?"

"Now he's depressed he has'nt spoken since, he would'nt even come to school with me." Davis looked up at the sky as gray clouds were starting to come in. "I wish there was something I could do to help him." As he walked near the empty playground Davis saw Volt was standing on top of the clock tower that was there.
"Volt?!" Davis stopped in his tracks and looked at him in shock. "Oh man I knew he was depressed I didn't think it would hurt him that bad!"
"Here I go!" Volt shouted getting ready.
"No Volt dont do it there must be another way!" Davis shouted running toawrds him as Volt jumped off.
But he moved to fast you could barely see him as Volt landed on the top of monkey bars then jumped to the top of the swungs then to a nearby tree grabbing the branch with both hands and swinging around it then landed on top of the branch and jumped off it into the air doing flips then landed on the ground on his feet he then stood up and looked at his hands.
"Volt.." Volt turned his head to look at Davis as he had an awe look on his face. "That was incredible, how did you do all of that?"
"To be honest Davis, I have no idea." Volt said putting his arms in his mantle.

Davis and Volt got home and found out Gina and Jun went shopping and wont be back for awhile so they were by themselves, both were in his room as Davis was sitting in his chair near his desk with his right arm on the head of the chair as Volt was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed with his hands on his ankles.
"So you care to explain what all that was about at the playground?" Davis asked.
"There's a reason why I didn't want to go to school with you today." Volt said as Davis rose an eyebrow. "You see ever sense what happend at the bank and that battle we had near the river my bodies been acting strange."
"Strange how?"
"I cant quite explain it, but my body seems to know exactly what to do in that kinda of situation its like when we encounter guys like that Frolaw and get into battle my body goes on autopilot and starts fighting like it knows how to."
"Which also shows your strength and speed. Is that why stayed home?"
"Yeah I was trying to figure out what it means so throughout the whole day I've been running around at an incredible fast speed jumping on top from building to building, testing my strength on old cars in the junkyard which I could easily break in two and lift like its a feather. Then found out Im amazingly agile with super fast reflexes too add to that so I've been seeing just how quick they are along with my body, not to mention I have incredible senses too."
"Which is what you were doing at the playground."
"Exactly. But I dont even know how Im able to to all of this."
"Im gonna have to say all of this has something to do with your memory."
"Man do I wish I knew about my past and what's going on around here."
"That make both of us little buddy."
Volt then jumped off the bed sticking his arms in his mantle and walked towards the door.
"Hey Im gonna go for a walk." Volt said looking at Davis.
"Ok, but be careful out there its suppose to rain." Davis said.
"I promise." Volt then went out the door going down stairs then walked out the front door into the streets.
Back in his room Davis just sighed and leaned back in his chair looking up at the ceiling.
"Just what exactly is going on around here?" Davis wondered as his mind suddenly got images of Sky and Frolaw. "Creatures that are similar to Volt but different." He then saw their dark purple and white spell books. "As well as power with that falcon controlling wind and that dinosaur controlling ice." He then got a replay of Frolaw's book burning as well as Frolaw disappearing. "And they're somehow linked to the spell books in a way."
Davis sighed as he ran his left hand through his hair.
"I wish I knew more about all this."
Suddenly the doorbell rang making Davis look at his door.
"Volt must've forgot something and accidentally locked himself out." Davis got up and went out the door as the doorbell rung again he then made his way down the hall then to the stairs and to the front door opening it. "Did you forget somethi.." Davis stopped as he saw Zoe standing there holding up her black spell book with her hands as Fango was standing beside her with his hands in his pockets on her right.
"Hello, I believe you have a similar book?" Zoe asked Davis. "You know what this means, dont you?"
Davis got an intense feeling comming from them as Zoe looked at him with a gentle but steel gaze as Fango looked at him with a hard stare making him tense up for anything they might do.
"Yeah I know what it means." Davis gritted his teeth.
"Please dont be alarmed. We didn't come here to fight only to talk. Im sure you'll want to hear this." Zoe said as Fango walked up to Davis nearing him before stopping.
"I assume its alright if we come in?" Fango asked.
"Please, its important." Zoe said.
"Sure, come on in." Davis stepped aside and let Fango and Zoe in as he closed the door.

Volt was around the corner not too far from the house as it started to rain when suddenly his stomach growled making him stop in his tracks.
"Guess I cant go for a walk on an empty stomach." Volt said as he turned around and headed back home to get something to eat, Volt then got that feeling again making him turn around to look behind him only to see no one there. "Maybe its in my head." Volt shrugged his shoulders and continued on his way as he didn't notice two figures behind the corner as they looked at him walking towards the house.
When Volt went through the door and opened it with his left hand he saw white boots at the foot of the door signaling someone was here.
"I wonder who's here?" Volt asked shutting the door. He then got that strange feeling again and he felt it comming from up the stairs and he looked up.

"Interesting." Zoe said as she looked out the windows of the balcony with Fango behind her standing in front of the bookcase as Davis was standing near his door with his right hand holding his book as his left hand was in his pocket. "Obviously the lizard with the book had lost his memory. Then me comming here was none too soon." Zoe then looked at Davis.
"Ok then, so could you please tell me what's going on here since you seem to know so much about it?" Davis asked.
"I dont see why not. Perhaps if I explain to you what Volt is it'll make it easier for you to give up the book." Zoe said.
Davis looked at his book then back at Zoe.
"To put it simply Volt is what's called a Digimon. He's not from the world the one you and I live in, he's simply here to fulfill his destiny." Zoe said.
What none of them knew was that Volt was standing outside the door listening on what was being said.
"What's a Digimon? Lets start there." Davis said.
"Its short for Digital Monster. They exist in a world made of data where everything is made from it dont know how it just is. This world is sepreate from ours." Zoe walked to the window looking out it with her hands behind her holding her book. "It is also invisble to us. I know it sounds strange."
"Or crazy, no offense." Davis said. "Still cant be any crazier than what's been going on."
"Its not easy to believe right away, but then where did Volt come from and how does he do the things he does?" Zoe turned her head to look at Davis. "How do you explain it?"
"I've figured out that Volt and I assume others can through these books we have." Davis said.
"Very good I can tell your very observant." Zoe then walked next to Fango. "You see the Digimon must find themselves a new king and its for that purpose of why these creatures are here." Volt's eyes widen as he heard this.
"Im listening, go on." Davis said.
"Once every thousands years a battle takes place here in the human world to determine who will be the Digimon King. One hundred Digimon will be chosen to be sent to our world. Each forms of partnership with a human then the human and Digimon do battle with another, the weapons used are spell books the books you and I are holding." Zoe raised up her book as Davis did the same and looked at his.
"The books require the power of the human heart to read them. They're like instruction manuals for battle, but also much more than that. If the book is destroyed the Digimon for whom it belong to loses all claim to the title of king and is sent back to the other world." Zoe further explained.
"That would explain what happend to that dinosaur when his book burned." Davis thought thinking of Frolaw. "And that's the object of this game?" He asked Zoe.
"That's right, to find and burn as many books as possible. But its hardly a game to them, for each book burned means another rival out of the way." Zoe said.
"I see, so the last one standing.." Davis started out.
"Is the Digimon King." Fango finished.
"And that's it, in a nutshell as they say." Zoe said. "Im sure now that you understand you'll be relieved of handing over your book."
"Huh?" Davis asked.
"You never asked to be a part of this and it will be a long unpleasant buisiness. Surely someone as smart as you can see that." Zoe said.
"Yeah right the only thing I see is everyone always trying to want me to hand over my book to them." Davis thought. "I dont know how much of her story to believe, but there is one part I do believe cause I saw it happen. If I hand over the book to them and its destroyed, its goodbye Volt."
"No way." Davis clutched on to the book as he put his left hand on it.
"I see so its like that is it?" Zoe asked steeling her eyes at Davis. "You must have your own reasons for wanting to keep it."
"Yeah like what?" Davis asked.
"Dont be a fool get out while you can. I warn you if you go on to use the book and the Digimon for evil purposes it will bring you nothing but evil in return."
"Oh give me a break sister! Im not buying it, who's to say your not the evil one anyway? Go get someone else's book cause Im not giving up mine!" Davis said.
Zoe sighed closing her eyes as Fango stepped forward and raised his right hand at Davis.
"I guess I have no choice." Zoe said as her book glowed behind her. "Haoace!"
Fango's right hand glowed white and he fired a white energy ball with yellow like flames comming off it as it hit Davis in the chest knocking him to the wall as he exclaimed in pain falling to the floor on his chest grunting.
"What did he do? I cant move my arms or legs or anything." Davis groaned.
"Now please hand over the book." Zoe said. "I dont want to do that again but I will if you force me to."
"Davis.." Volt whispered about to go in.
"You think your protecting the lizard?" Zoe asked Davis making Volt stop in his tracks. "You fool that lizard will cost you your life." Zoe walked toward Davis putting her right hand on her hip while her left one was at her side holding the book. "Its not just the question of burning spell books some Digimon will gladly destroy each other. And they wont care if a human gets in the way, you dont know what your dealing with these are'nt games these are powerful and dangerous forces."
"However hard it may be your better off without him!" Zoe said.
Volt gasped at that and immediatly thought of what Mike said.
"Little weirdos that will do whatever we want them to do, right?"
Volt started crying thinking what Zoe said was right and how he should'nt be here with Davis.
"Give me the book." Zoe ordered. "Im doing you a favor."
"Gee thanks but let me ask you something." Davis grunted as he pushed himself up with his arms. "If its such bad news, why dont you do yourself the favor and get rid of the one you have? Seems like to me you want to torch the thing, not get another one."
Zoe gritted her teeth at this.
"I have my reason." She said.
"Huh?" Davis asked.
"Not that you would understand." Zoe turned her head away from Davis. "I've witness things, terrible horrible things that I've been powerless to stop. Never again. I will never let that happen again!" Zoe shouted turning back to Davis as she had slight tears in her eyes. "And that's why Fango here must become king! So you either hand over that book or I'll tear it out of your hands myself! You will not stand in my way." Zoe have a very hard stare at Davis.
"Whoa, someone must have really hurt her." Davis thought looking at Zoe in slight shock as Fango came up beside her.
"Simple truth is, even if we let you go you wont survive long. There will be others many others and they'll keep on comming, until the battle is won."
Volt then got that feeling again comming from downstairs as he rushed down the hall and jumped down the stair to the bottom and landed on his right foot and left knee, when he looked up he saw a man in a gray hooded cloak covering his face as the only thing you could see was his mouth wearing a orange long sleeved shirt tan pants and red shoes. Beside him at his feet was a white dog with red whisker marks on his face, ears, and a tail.
"Can I help you? Mr. I never heard of knocking and just barges in on someone elses house?" Volt asked standing up.
The man just grinned as he pulled out a tan book.
"He's got a book!" Volt thought as his eyes went wide.
"Ready Dags the Labramon?" The guy asked.
"Ready and willing Stan." The dog said.
Stan opened up the book as it glowed.
"Doberuk!" Stan shouted.
Dags glowed purple as he started to grow and change when the glowing stopped Dags was now a big black dog with red eyes, blades comming out of the heel of his paws, and a steel spiked collar around his neck.
"Dobermon power up complete." Dags grinned.
Volt growled under his breath and gritted his teeth getting ready for a showdown with another Digimon and his human partner.
