Legendary Celestial Warriors
By Ten-Faced Paladin
Chapter 6: Kazemon's Windy Twist
Sailor Pluto poured herself into searching the Time Gates for anything even remotely connected to Daemon. So far, all her efforts revealed next to nothing about where or when he or one of his soldiers may strike next. The only things that she could see concerning Digimon were the events that had already happened. When Musyamon came to claim the temple, Meramon's little bonfire, and Warumonzaemon and his litle appearance. She just couldn't figure out how Daemon was hiding himself from her. She couldn't even find a timeline that mentioned his name! Crystal Tokyo was still visible, but Pluto knew that if Daemon was allowed to continue being a threat then it was never going to appear. She just wished that she had more experience with Digimon than she did.
Thinking of Digimon, her mind drifted over to the Legendary Warriors that were helping them with this crisis. So far the grand total was three of the ten. Furthermore, they seemed to be connected to three of the Sailor Scouts.
Her mind first went to Agunimon. The Warrior of Flame had appeared most unexpectadly and had helped the Scouts in their time of need. He was an overly optimistic individual who seemed very friendly for the most part. He was also paired up with Sailor Mars probably because of their connection to the same element. It also didn't escape Pluto's notice that their attitudes were completely different when it came to their jobs. Mars herself was serious and deticated to her duty as a Sailor Scout. Agunimon seemed to have fun with his Legendary Warrior status and was always trying to lighten the mood. Their attitudes were so different, but they complimented each other. A blance was made between them.
Lobomon was next on Pluto's mental list. The Warrior of Light was someone that Pluto had assumed to be a great asset to the Sailor Scouts. Someone who knew the importance of searching out evil and destroying it. What she got was very different. Lobomon seemed very untrusting of the Scouts and while he did know the importance of fighting evil and defending the innocent, he did not apparently see a need to hunt it down before it got dangerous. Not at all what Pluto was expecting of a Warrior of Light. Venus didn't seem to care as she was starstruck with the white warrior. She was just a bubbly and cheerful person while Lobomon seemed gloomy and pessemistic. This attitude just made Venus more determined to get close and find the real person within.
The newest warrior, Kumamon, was somewhat of a suprise for all the Scouts who hadn't seen him fight. The Warrior of Ice seemed to be no older than a child. Perhaps a few years younger than Small Lady or Hotaru. Pluto had been doubtful of his ability until she watched him fight Warumonzaemon. That had lay any doubts to rest but she was somewhat surprised to see someone so child-like fight so well. He was also paired up with Mercury, which seemed a little odd, personality wise, until Pluto had some time to think about it. In Mercury's life, she had to mature quickly for the sake of her studies. She didn't have many friends before she met the other Scouts and was very closed off. Kumamon was just the opposite. The yin to her yang. Kumamon was very much still a child and was very open about his emotions and seemed to make friends very easily. How Venus and Moon cuddled him after the battle was testimony to that.
Pluto pondered as she stopped searching for the night. It seemed that the Legendary Warriors were being paired with the Sailor Scouts for more than just the elements that they wielded. They were being paired to balance off their personalities. To make them a true team. The concept in itself made Pluto ponder just which warrior the remaining scouts would be paired with, if it wasn't obvious already.
--------------------------------
The thrill of the race.
This was something that Haruka dreamed about. She lived for this. The wind blowing throuhg her hair and the thrill of victory. It sent her adrenaline jumping as she tore through racetracks on her bike. Sharp corners and the competative edge of the other racers served to only make the thrill that much better.
Haruka was currently running for a place in a motorcross race that was coming up.The prize was pretty good but the competition was absolutely fierce. She was in her element and she aimed to win.
"Go Haruka-Papa!" Hotaru shouted with glee as she sat with Rini and Michelle. The inners were at another part of the crowds, viewing the action.
"Show these guy's who's the manager!" Mina shouted from her seat. The misworded cheer caused the other Inner Scouts who were sitting with her to sweatdrop.
When Haruka had been invited to compete, she instantly told the others and got them tickets to let them cheer her on. She wouldn't really admit it out loud, but with so many people supporting her, it made the victory actually feel a little sweeter. Even if all the support she need would come from Michelle and Hotaru. Haruka roared down the straightaways right past her freinds and family. The Inner Scouts all cheered for her while Michelle gave her an encouraging wink with untold promises behind it.
'Oh now I have to win,' Haruka chuckled inwardly, catching Michelle's hidden meaning. Haruka hit the gas even harder as she wanted to end the race quickly.
While Haruka was aiming for first, a couple of other familiar faces were watching the races with just as much enthusiasm.
"Go Haruka!" Zoe cheered for the female racer from her place in the stands.
Actually, she was closer to actually sitting in Takuya's lap. She wasn't all the way using him as a seat but it was a close thing. Koji and Koichi were siiting on the benches on level down wile Tommy was sitting next to Takuya. J.P. was on the level above Zoe and Takuya, munching on a hot dog.
"Man Zoe, I never pegged you as a motorcross fan," J.P. smirked as he watched the racers go past at blinding speeds.
"There's a lot of things you probably don't know about me," Zoe giggled. "Besides, one of my idols are out there."
"You mean Haruka Tenoh?" asked Koji. "I hear she's one of the best out there."
"She is," Zoe smiled. "She's also one of the only girl racers too. That's why I look up to her so much. Going out there and proving that girls can do whatever a boy can do. Sometimes even better."
"Well, you won't hear us disagreeing," Takuya laughed, his face still a little red from how close Zoe was. "After all the times you saved our butts we'd be stupid to do that."
"Aww," Zoe giggled as she hugged Takuya. "You say the nicest things."
"Hey guys, look!" Tommy called. "That Tenoh lady just crossed the finish line!"
"She did?" Zoe gasped as she looked up from her cuddling. "Alright! I knew she'd win!"
"I don't think there was much doubt," Koichi smiled to his brother.
------------------------------------
After the race, Haruka met up with her friends. She was covered in dirt but she also had a pleased grin on her face.
"Wow Haruka, you just blew them away!" Serena chirped from her place on Darien's arm.
"You were great Haruka-Papa," Hotaru beamed.
"I guess I was," Haruka smiled. "The competition was actually pretty good for a change. I'll definitely be having some fun out there."
"Well don't have too much fun," Michelle laughed in her serene way. "I would still like to have you home tonight."
"You don't have to worry about that," Haruka grinned. "My races are over today so I can come home with you guys."
"That's great," Lita smiled. "Now we can party to celebrate your win!"
"Now hold on," Haruka replied, making calming gestures. "I have't won the race yet."
The girls and Darien all talked about how they were going to celebrate this stepping stone. There were several suggestions to use the temple, which Raye was less than pleased about since she would probably have to clean up the mess.
While they were talking, another well-known group of kids were coming down between the rows of vendors. One member of the group was looking at each stall, trying to find something she liked.
"Come on," Zoe called. "I saw these adorable dolls somewhere around here."
"Zoe, we've been looking for this stall forever," J.P. complained. "Are you sure that they didn't just get sold out?"
"Don't even joke about that J.P.," Zoe scolded.
Oh yes. Never get between a woman and her shopping, no matter what her age. Zoe was a veteran and she wasn't about to stop in her quest for those adorable plushies that she discovered on the way in. Unfortuneately, her quest did come to a stop when she plowed into someone while she wasn't looking at what was right in front of her.
"Hey!" a female voice said in annoyance.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Zoe apologised quickly. "I wasn't watching where I was going."
Zoe backed up to see who she had run into. Takuya, Koji, Koichi, Tommy, and J.P. were already staring at Zoe's crash victim. When Zoe herself got a look, she thought her heart had stopped for a moment. They were all looking at Haruka Tenoh.
"It's okay," Haruka sighed. "Just watch where you're going next time."
"O-okay," Zoe nodded dumbly.
"Wow, she's pretty," Tommy whispered to J.P.
"Yeah, for a tomboy," J.P. agreed.
Koichi, who didn't know as much about Haruka as the others, him being so shy, did notice some familiar faces behind her.
"Lita, Mina!" he smiled. "What are you doing here?"
The Scouts of Jupiter and Venus looked and instantly recognised the twins. The both smiled brightly before dashing forward to greet them.
"Koji, Koichi!" Lita smiled. "What are you two doing here?"
"Our friend Zoe is a big fan of Haruka's," Koji explained. "She invited us all to come with her to the race."
"Oh really?" Haruka asked, a smirk on her face. She turned to Zoe who started blushing. "Well it's nice to meet you Zoe. I hope you enjoyed the race."
"You bet I did!" Zoe smiled brightly, going fangirl on Haruka. "I can't believe how you blew those other racers away. How did you get that good?"
"Skill, knowledge and luck," Haruka replied simply
Zoe was starstruck as she and Haruka spoke, quickly easing into the company. Koji and Koichi talked with Lita and Mina about how their mother was doing and if they were keeping out of trouble. J.P., Takuya, and Tommy just waited for the chatting to be over. The remaining Scouts just watched as their friends caught up.
One girl who seemed entranced was Hotaru. Her gaze landed on Koichi and for some reason she didn't want to look away. He was kind of handsome, but his brother was too. That wasn't really the main reason why she was entranced. The reason was that when she looked into his eyes, she saw something familiar. Guilt. The kind that had the sin for it had been long forgiven, but the one who comitted it had still felt responsible. What seemed odd to Hotaru was that it seemed on par to the guilt she felt when she recalled her time posessed by Mistress 9.
'What could he have done to feel so guilty?' Hotaru thought idly to herself.
Michelle noticed the dreamy look on Hotaru's face and saw that her gaze was on one of the twins Lita and Mina were talking to. The one who wasn't wearing the bandanna. The Scout of Neptune couldn't help but smile at how cute the scene was. The only thing was that she wasn't sure how she felt about it.
What neither the Scouts or the Digidestined knew,was that when they had gotten close to each other, their means of transforming began to react to each other. With Raye, Mina, and Amy's Henshin Sticks, the symbols at the top had changed. They didn't show their symbols for their planets, but glowing symbols of fire, light, and ice. Likewise could be said for Takuya, Koji, and Tommy's D-tectors. Their elemental symbols weren't visible, but the symbols for Mars, Venus, and Mercury could be seen as clear as day. Too bad that no one was actually looking at their means of transforming to actually notice.
---------------------------------------
The track was quiet for a change and the world seemed to be asleep. The stars were hanging in the sky and the moon was as bright as ever. The race track still had the trailers for each of the racers there. Well, the racers who had gotten into the actual race itself. The vendor stalls were all closed and it seemed that there wasn't anything of interet going on at the moment.
Of course, appearances can be decieving.
A lone figure could be seen walking through the ailes of stalls that were all shut down. He was wearing a motorcross outfit, complete with helmet. He didn't want to risk being seen if he got caught oing what he was going to do. He walked intently. He knew what he wanted to do and he knew where he was going to do it. The toolbox in his hand proved that he was up to something.
He continued walking until he got to the trailors where the racers bikes were being kept. He walked past most of them. He didn't really have anything against the racers as a group. His beef was with one racer in particular. He finally stopped when he came to the bike he was looking for.
"Haruka Tenoh," he snorted. "You brought this on yourself."
This guy had a real beef with Haruka as it was. The girl had embarrased not only him, by making him look like a rookie when she blasted so far ahead of him, but she also did the same to his brother. This man's older brother took things a little too far when he decided to get his revenge. He actually had his buddies run her off the road before trying to teach her a lesson with some brute force. This guy, the younger brother, Souichi, knew when to push or let himself be pushed. All was fair on the race track, but outside, you had to be sneaky. He didn't like Haruka but he knew that trying to hurt her was not the way to do things. If you wanted to beat someone who's made a fool of you, you just had to hit them where it hurt. Souichi knew that to do this, he would just have to make sure Haruka woulddn't be able to race due to her pride and joy being trashed.
Before Souichi could even begin his little vandalism stunt, he heard rustling coming from the nearby forest. He turned to see what had made the sounds that he had heard. He stared into the darkened foresrts for a moment before he shrugged and got back to work. He looked at the engine of Haruka's motorcycle before decided on what tool he was going to need to begin. He started going through his toolbox when he heard the rustling again. This time it was even closer.
"Okay, who's there?!" Souichi shouted while turning around.
For a moment, he thought he saw some kind of purple timpped feather sticking out from behind a trailer but when he blinked, it was gone. Souichi stood still for a moment before shaking his head and turning back to his work.
"The pressure's getting to me," he sighed to himself. "I'm hearing things."
Souichi then began rustling though his toolbox again. The sounds of metal hitting metal were so loud that he didn't hear the footsteps coming up behind him. He didn't even notice until a large shadow had come over him.
"Wah-?" he began as he turned to face the bearer of that shadow. His eyes then opened wide as he screamed with terror. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
"Petrifier!" a course voice roared.
Souichi's world suddenly went emerald green before all went dark.
-----------------------------------
Haruka scratched the back of her head as she walked down the trails towards her motorcycle. The vendors were setting things up for the day as some of the other racers arrived. The other Scouts were going to come later after the other races before the main event were finished.
As she got to where the racers kept their equipment, she saw that there were a large number of people in front of her trailer. Haruka quickly walked up to the edge of the crowd and caught one guy on the shoulder.
"Hey, what's going on?" she asked. "This is my trailer!"
"You tell us then," the guy replied as the others cleared the way for her. Haruka looked to see what they were all looking at and she gasped in shock. Right next to her motorcycle was a human sized stone statue depicting a motorcross racer. He was sitting right next to an open toolkit. Everyone could also tell by the posture that he was terrified of something.
"Okay," Haruka frowned. "Who's big idea of a prank was this?"
"You got us," one racer shrugged. "I don't think any of us could think of a prank this creepy."
"Has anyone seen Souiochi today?" asked one tech guy. "He hasn't shown up yet. Maybe he's the one who pulled this?"
"Whatever," Haruka sighed. "That guy and his brother have beeen giving me trouble since I first beat them. It figures. I'll deal with it after the race."
The crowd dispersed as they all headed for their bikes. Haruka glanced at the statue one more time before she shivered. The detail was incredible on the thing. The folds on the shirt and the lines on some of the safety armor was amazingly done. Whoever pulled this prank had way too much time and skill on their hands. Shoving the feeling away, she got on her bike and began getting ready for the day.
-------------------------------------------------
Serena and the others were right on time as they headed straight for the racetrack to watch their friend. The only difference from yesterday was that Lita and Mina were carrying Bokomon and Neemon, both of which were wearing childrens clothes and hoods. They had wanted to see what the big deal about these races were. Actually, Bokomon wanted to see. Neemon had just heard that there was food there.
"So this 'motorcross' is some kind of race?" asked Bokomon curiously.
"That's right," Lita smiled. "Haruka's competing in it too. Were here to cheer her on."
"Reminds me of the Great Trailmon Race back home," Bokomon nodded as he pulled out his book.
"I remember that!" Neemon smiled. "That was a nice nap."
"Huh?" wondered Mina. "You napped while watching a race?"
"No," Bokomon sighed. "He was actualy competeing but since he just fell asleep at the wheel, he didn't even get past the start line."
"You're so silly Neemon," Mina giggled before she hugged Neemon tightly. She just couldn't help it sometimes. He was so cute.
"Are you sure it's okay to bring those two out with us?" Luna whispered to Serena silently. Artemis and Diana were being carried by Hotaru and Rini.
"I don't see why not Luna," Serena shrugged. "Hasn't been a problem before."
The girls wandered over to where the trailers were and met up with Haruka. Of course, they didn't seem to even say hello before they noticed the terrified statue next to her motorcycle.
"Haruka," Michelle asked, brimming with curiosity. "Where did that come from?"
"Not sure," Haruka sighed from where she was working on her bike. "I'm pretty sure that Souichi was the one who left it though. His tools are right beside it. A rather expensive calling card."
"Why would he do that?" asked Raye in surprise.
"Because he's a sexist pig," Haruka frowned with a slight growl. "He's been pulling this crap since I first beat him on the racetrack. It was his brother and his buddies that ran me and Serena off the road back when we were dealing with the Death Busters."
Serena shivered at the memeory. That was one of the scarier times in her life. She couldn't even transform into Sailor Moon to stop them either.
Before any other questions could be made, Amy's Mercury computer beeped. It was apparently reacting to something unusual. She quickly pulled it out and began typing on the keyboard. After a moment she gasped in horrified shock.
"What is it Amy?" asked Rini.
"Haruka," Amy said slowly. "That isn't an ordinary statue. These readings show that it has petrified human DNA in it."
"What does that mean?" asked Serena, her lack of average intelligence showing yet again.
It was Artemis and Luna who gasped first when it hit them. Artemis was the one who answered first, "It means that this statue used to be a human being!"
"What?!" all who heard gasped.
"Who would do such a thing?" asked Hotaru.
"More imprtantly," began Haruka. "What could do such a thing?"
"Do you think it might be some kind of Digimon?" asked Amy, turning to Bokomon.
"Possibly," Bokomon pondered as he pulled out his book. "If I see anything that resembles this then I'll let you know."
"Then there's not much we can do right now," Michelle sighed. "If whatever did this left footprints then they would be long gone with everyone coming and going like this."
"Michelle has a point," Raye sighed. "All we can do is wait."
Serena pouted at that. One thing that she didn't like even more than studying, was being helpless. The only thing that they could wait for now was another clue or another victim. She just hoped more for the former rather than the latter.
---------------------------------------
"Oh I'm just so excited!" Zoe smiled as she hung onto Takya's arm while they were heading for their seats. "I mean, actually being friends with my idol! It's magnifico!"
"Just remember to breathe, okay?" stated Takuya, laughing at his girlfriend's enthusiasm. "We don't need you passing out on us."
"I think we'd have enough excitement without that," Koji smirked as he walked alongside his brother.
Tommy laughed as he followed the others. Looking around, he saw somw pretty cool things. Stuffed toys, T-shirts, the works. As he was passing by a hot dog stand where J.P. was getting his lunch, he noticed something on the ground.
It was a feather. A big one too. Tommy picked it up and idly noticed the purple tip to it. He got a weird sense like he recognised it from somewhere but he really couldn't think of where. Deciding to think about it later, he caught up with the others as they kept heading for the racetrack.
"Hey guys!" he called. "Wait up!"
------------------------------------------
The races continued on for the day withou Souichi. With the shot of a gun, all the racers weere off and making their way down the dirt tracks. Haruka was already in the lead as she made her way along. The other racers were having trouble keeping up with her. She smirked in satisfaction that she might just win this easier then she thought.
In the stands, the girls were cheering for their friend as she raced like no one's business. They knew she was probably going to win if she kept up this kind of speed. They couldn't wait to start partying once she was finished.
On another section of bleachers, the Digidestined were watching the same race unfold.
"Go Haruka!" Zoe cheered while standing up. "Leave those guys in the dust!"
"A little enthusiastic isn't she?" Takuya sweatdropped.
"Well she's your girlfriend," Koji smiled. "You knew what you were getting into when you started dating her."
"And I don't regret a single day of it," Takuya smirked.
While both groups were cheering for their idol/friend, Bokomon was still looking through his book. Page after page of known Digimon subspecies were passing through his eyes.
"Did you find it?" asked Neemon.
"No," Bokomon replied simply.
"How about now?" Neemon asked after a moment.
"I said no!" Bokomon snapped.
Neemon fell quiet again as he began kicking his feet. Bokomon just continued to go through the pages of his book. When he landed on a page somewhere in the 'K' section, his eyes bugged out as he gasped loudly.
"Oh no!" he cried. "If I'm right...we're in serious danger!"
"Huh?" wondered Neemon, having lost interest in the book.
"Amy!" Bokomon cried as he began tugging the girl's sleeve.
"What is it Bokomon?" asked the blue-haired girl.
"I think a Digimon did make that statue," Bokomon said in a panic. "And if I'm right, we are in immenent danger!"
"What Digimon is it?" asked Amy.
"His name is-," Bokomon began.
"Petrifier!" a coarse voice roared.
An emerald beam of energy cut through the air from the direction of the forest and towards the race track. The Sailor Scouts gasped when they saw that it was aimed at Haruka.
"Haruka-Papa!" Hotaru cried in fear.
Haruka saw the beam coming out of the corner of her eye and without a second thought, she hit the gas on her motorcycle. She managed to speed out of the way before the beam could hither. Unfortuneately, another racer had also hit the gas, not noticing the beam himself and got hit. His body and his bike was engulfed in the green light before he faded, leaving him and his bike as a solid stone statue.
Haruka put her bike to a halt as she stared wide-eyed at the new statue. She turned to the source of the green beam of energy.
What came stomping out of the forest seemed to be some kind of nightmare chicken. It was about three heads taller than an adult human and it had a large fanned out tail with purple tipped feathers. It's eyes were blood red while the beak had black teeth sticking out. It's wings seemed to double as arms almost as it glared cockily at all the humans.
"...Kokatorimon," Bokomon gulped.
Activate Digimon Analyser
Kokatorimon
This foul mannered Digimon is no chicken when it comes to fighting. His Petrifier attack has the ability to run an entire village into his own stone garder. Best to be careful when facing this fiend or better yet, RUN AWAY!!
"Heh he he," Kokatorimon chuckled. "One more for the garden."
The people on the bleachers and the other racers began to panic. They ran for it as all hell broke loose. Racers began heading for the hills as the spectators began to make a run for it. The Scouts and Digidestined tried to head along with them.
"Going somewhere?" Kokatorimon laughed. "I think not. Petrifier!"
Green beams began firing from his eyes towards the bleachers. Haruka tried to shout to her friends but it seemed that it was too late. The green beams spread over the benches, not only turning them to stone, but also turning those on them to stone as well.
"Look out Zoe!" Takuya called as he stepped in front of her.
Zoe was blinded as the beam collided with her boyfriend. Everything turned green for a moment before her eyes readjusted to her surroundings. Zoe looked up to see that Takuya was now a solid stone statue along with all her friends. She couldn't find her voice at what she was seeing.
"Haw ha ha!" Kokatorimon crowed as he started walkind towards the track. "Got them all in one shot! That's a personal best! Now for some stragglers."
Haruka felt as if someone had torn her heart out. She stared at the bleachers that once held her friends, and more important, her lover and daughter. Now all of them were just solid rock. Haruka hadn't cried in what felt like years, but right now she felt the hot tears sliding down her face.
"You bastard," Haruka growled as the tears fell to the ground. "I won't let you get away with this!"
She reached into her pocket and pulled out her henshin stick. She didn't care if Kokatorimon or anyone else saw her. She just wanted to make that monster pay for what he did.
"Uranus Planet Power!"
Kokatorimon's attention was ripped from the bleachers as he saw a bright light erupt from the track. He glared for a second until the light died down. When he could see properly again, he had the pleasure of seeing a very pissed of Sailor Uranus. The only thing that was off from her usual appearance were the tears running down her face.
"Oho!" Kokatorimon snickered. "I was wondering when I'd run into one of you."
"Shut up!" Sailor Uranus snapped. "I won't let you get away with this! Uranus World Shaking!"
The battle had begun but Zoe hadn't seen any of it. Not the transformation or even when Uranus began her attack. All she cared was that Takuya and the others were taken away from her. Losing the other hurt, but losing Takuya had hurt worst of all.
"Takuyaaaa!" Zoe cried loudly, her tears finally coming out.
Over where the statue of Bokomon stood, his stone book began reacting to the cry of emotion. Cracks ran over the pages as the energy within grew. It contined until it couldn't take anymore and the sone shattered, revealing the book as it once was. A hurricane force wind was blowing from the pages as two new idols rose from them. The one on the left was depicting a fairy in a praying position. The other was of a woman in a kneeling position with wings for arms.
Zoe was sobbing against the statue of her boyfriend when the cellphone in her pocket erupted into bright light. She pulled it out to find the device had changed into her pink and viloet D-tector. She held out the device as she felt the pull of the spirits against her hear and watched as the spirits of wind came flying over from the other end of the bleachers. The two spirits were absorbed into the device as the symbol for the Warrior of Wind appeared. Zoe just stood up as she kissed the cheek of the Takuya statue.
"I'll get him," she whispered. "Don't worry."
Zoe held out her heand as the blue ring of fractal code appeared around it. She then pressed the scanner of her D-tector against it, beginning the digivolving process.
Execute! Spirit Evolution!
Uranus and Kokatorimon were too involved in their battle to notice what was going on. Uranus wanted to avenge her family and friends while Kokatorimon really didn' care what was going on beyond the fight.
Kazemon!
The orb of data vanished to reveal the beautifule figure of Kazemon. She looked at the battle and with a flap of her butterfly wings, she was on her way to lend a hand.
Uranus stumbled back from where Kokatorimon tried to slash her with his talons. She knew that to avoid being turned into a stone statue, she had to stay close. The only problem was that all her most powerful attacks were long range. She would have to try and find a way to get some range without the risk of being turned to stone.
Kokatorimon was about to try and sut up Uranus again when he noticed something odd. The centre of the bow on her chest was beginning to glow a pale blue. His master Daemon had warned him that if this was happening then a Legendary Warrior was nearby. Kokatorimon assumed that Grumblemon was going to make an appearance. Of course, he was only judging by what he saw in the attack.
"Hurricane Wind!"
That was about When Kokatorimon found himself pummeled by several small tornadoes. The force of which had sent him crashing to the ground and skidding a few feet away. Uranus looked to where the attack had come from and saw another Digimon coming towards them. This one was wearing one of the skimpiest battle outfits that she had ever seen in her life. If the situation wasn't so dire, Uranus would have wondered if she could get Michelle into one just like it. As it was, Uranus did notice that on the Digimon's gloves were two symbols which were glowing a bright pink.
"Legendary Warrior?" asked Uranus suspiciously.
"Yes, I'm Kazemon," Kazemon nodded as she landed next to Uranus. "And I'm here to make sure that stuffed turkey is going to pay for what it did!"
"Now you're speaking my language," Uranus smiled sadly.
Kokatorimon groaned from where he landed, causing both Warrior and Scout to trun and face him. The white feathered fowl stood up slowly with a growl in his throat.
"What gives?" he growled. "I thought you'd be paired with Grumblemon! Aren't you using earth-based attacks?"
"Heh," Uranus smiled. "My World Shaking attack does seem to be aligned to the ground doesn't it? Well, I'll let you in on a little secret. My world shaking attack follows the pattern of a tornado. It rips through the ground before rising up ito the air once again!"
"Uh-oh," Kokatorimon groaned. When he was briefed on Uranus, he had been prepared for eartjh attacks and Grumblemon. Not hidden wind attacks and Kazemon. It was no wonder that he was having such a hard time dodging the attacks.
"It doesn't matter," Kokatorimon groaned. "I'll just destroy you anyway!"
"I'd like to see you try," Kazemone frowned. "Hurricane Wind!"
"Uranus World Shaking!"
"Petrifier!"
The emerald beans shot from Kokatorimon's eyes towards the two females. The high force winds travelled alongside the yellow orb of energy. That was when they started to fuse togther. The winds began to circele around the World Shaking and creating a rather large tornado that had lellow engery erupting from the core. The Petrifier attack was swallowed into the centre and kept right on going. Kokatorimon was too shocked to move as he was swept into the swirling winds.
"I can fly! I can fly!" he crowed until he saw the core of the tornado coming at him. "Ah, I can't fly!"
The bird Digimon collided with the core of the deadly tornado before it exploded, sending dirt and dust in all directons. Uranus covered her eyes, but Kazemon, having eye coverings already, looked straight ahead. When the dust had cleared enough, she could see Kokatorimon. The data of his fractal code was swirlign around him. They had knocked it right out of him.
"His data!" Kazemon cried as she flew over to him while summoning her D-tector.
"Now time for you to face justice!" Kazemon frowned as she drew back her D-tector. "Fractal Code! Digitize!"
Uranus watched as Kazemon drew in the data and the body of Kokatorimon dissolve into a wireframe egg that vanished into nothing. Knowing that her family was avenged, Uranus could feel her resolve not to cry breaking down even further. She was about to let it go when she began to hear human groans echoing from the stands. She turned to see what it was and her jaw dropped to see the stone statues turning back to flesh and blood. Most of the poeple were collapsing into unconciousness, but the girls who were secretly the Sailor Scouts and the two Digimon were just apparently suffering from headaches.
"Michelle!" Uranus cried happily as she dashed for her lover.
Michelle only had a short time to look up after hearing her name before she found herself trapped in the arms of her lover. She looked into the tear filled eyes of Uranus before a deep kiss was planted onto her lips.
"I thought I lost you," Uranus whispered as she drew back.
"Haruka-Papa?" a weak voice asked.
Uranus looked down to see Hotaru, who was rubbing her eyes as if she had just woken up from a nap. She couldn't help herself as she caught the younger girl in a warm and happy hug.
"I'm so glad to hear your voice firefly," Uranus whispered in a trembling voice.
Sailor Uranus wasn't the only one to have a happy reunion. When Kazemon saw that what Kokatorimon was doing had worn off, she instantly turned to her friends. She saw that they were okay too. The only thing was that Koichi and J.P. were alseep while Takuya, Koji, and Tommy looked like they had hangovers.
"Takuya!" Kazemon cried in joy.
The Warrior of WInd dived at the boy before she was engulfed in fractal code. YTakuya looked up and opened his arms as he saw his girlfriend falling towards him. It was easy enough to catch her but the force she fell caused him to land on his butt.
"I got him!" Zoe smiled with tears at the corners of her eyes. "I'm so glad that you guys are okay."
It was a tearful ruinion on Zoe's part. Takuya and Tommy were congratulating her for what she did but Koji had his eyes elsewhere. He could see that Sailor Uranus had dove into the arms of some aqua-haired woman in the stands. Apparently they were close. Koji shook his head to get the fog out as he turned back to his brother and J.P., trying to wake them up. He would think about this later.
------------------------------------
It was a subdued group of young women that left the racetrack. Haruka had a loving grip on both Michelle and Hotaru's hands. She didn't want to let go until they were safely at home.
"So you met the Warrior of Wind?" asked Lita.
"Yes," Haruka nodded. "I have to admit though, I really liked her outfit."
"Pervert," Michelle whispered into Haruka's ear, having heard Haruka's description of Kazemon's choice of attire.
"And proud of it," Haruka teased back.
Serena yawned as she continued to walk down the sidewalks. Being turned to stone was more like a nap to her than anything else.
"Oh man," she yawned. 'We're up to four warriors now. We're almost halfway."
"I noticed that," Mina nodded. "I'll bet none of them are as cute as Lobomon though."
"Hey!" Raye huffed indignantly. "Agunimon is way cuter than him."
"Oh really?" wondered Mina. "I'd say only Kumamon comes close. He's just so adorable!"
"The more things change the more they stay the same I suppose," Artemis sighed from his seat on Hotaru's shoulders.
"Even if the boys in question aren't human," Luna added.
Things kind of degraded from there. It became an all out argument between most of the girls on which Legendary Warrior was the most attractive. Good thing said warriors weren't there or they would've dropped dead from embarrassment.
To Be Continued...
A/N: And there you have it folks! Kazemon comes into the picture and it appears that Daemon's soldiers are getting more dangerous. Next up is Beetlemon. Guess where he's going to end up? (Haha!) Oh, the four last warriors are going to make an appearance pretty soon. I know who I want for them but if you guys have a suggestion then send it in. It can be from Sailor Moon or Digimon. Remember, you have to tell which warrior they will be and why you think they shoulld be that warrior. Simple. I'd love to hear from you.
