Recap Chapter 3

I turned to see the dome lowering itself to the ground. Seeing nothing bad happening, I walked towards the pedestals and looked at both spirits.

"Hello Old friends, I've missed you for quite some time now. And despite wanting to catch up, we have some work to do. The Demon Lords are on the rise, and it's our job to vanquish them. Think you're up for it?" I asked them this, though I knew their answer would be yes. At that exact moment, the spirits flew towards my D-tector and became one with me again.

"Grazie Kazemon, Zephyrmon. AncientKazemon, I will do you well." I said determinedly.

"Come Floramon, we must get back to the others."

CHAPTER 4

We left the room and walked quickly back to the others waiting for us, but boy was I surprised when I found all of them unconscious on the ground.

"Kouji! Kouichie! Takuya, Tommy, JP!" I yelled, fear making itself known as a lump in my throat.

"Please, you have to wake up, don't leave me, please, don't, leave, me." I cried over Kouji's unconscious body, burrowing my face into his chest, desperately holding his hands in mine. I turned my head to see the others, unmoving, laying on the ground. A wave of complete despair rolled over me, and suddenly, I knew how AncientKazemon felt. And it feels terrible.

As if they heard my desperate prayers, the boys started to move, including Kouji who was under me. He and I sat up at the same time, and I clumsily hit his chin with my head as I shot up to see that he was really moving. Ignoring the throbbing pain in my skull and his chin, I threw my arms around him, hugging him dearly, crying my relief into his shoulder. He eventually softly returned the hug, rubbing soothing circles in my back, his other hand tangled in my hair. I pulled Kouichie into our hug as well, and soon Tommy, Takuya and JP joined us as well. It was a heartfelt moment, but we had work to do, so I grudgingly pulled back. Then I turned and looked everyone in the eyes and said with the most serious voice I've ever used,

"I know what's in the chamber."

Kouji pulled back from me in shock, eyes wide, and hands grasping my arms above my elbows. The others too pulled back in shock at my statement.

"What is it?" JP asked.

"They great power is something called a 'Crest' and there are 10 of them; Courage, Friendship, Love, Sincerity, Knowledge, Reliability, Kindness, Hope, Light, and Destiny. They will apparently allow us to reach Ancient Digivolution, and will increase our power tenfold."

"That's amazing! How do we get to the chamber?" Takuya implored.

"You don't," I sighed, looking carefully at Kouji, "…we…do." I spoke softly and slowly, not sure how he would react to what I told him. For a moment he didn't react at all. Then his eyes got amusingly wide, his breath hitched, and then his brows and eyes furrowed in concentration.

"Are you sure?" He asked, looking me straight in the eyes.

"Yes, I'm sure." I smiled softly at him, to which he returned with a soft smile of his own, eyes closed serenely.

"I knew it." Kouichie smirked, breaking our peace. Kouji turned to him with an annoyed glare and I rolled my eyes at him. All of a sudden, there was a large explosion from the entrance of the tomb. The ground shook but the ceiling did not cave, thankfully.

"Let's go" Takuya called, standing up and running to the entrance, the others right behind him. Kouji stood up, grasped my hand in his and pulled me along after him.

"Help! The village is under attack by IceDevimon, LadyDevimon and Myotismon!" One of the Floramon yelled.

EXECUTE NOW!

SPIRIT EVOLUTION!

FUSION EVOLUTION!

BEAST SPIRIT EVOLUTION!

KAZEMON

BEOWULFMON

ALDAMON

KORIKAKUMON

METALKABUTERIMON

JAGERLOWEMON

"Alright guys, let's do this! If you finish before the others, help where you can. Go!" Aldamon instructed us.

"LadyDevimon is mine!" I quickly flew towards my opponent and engaged her in battle.

"HURRICANE WAVE!"

"Tsk Tsk, you're gonna have to do better if you want to stand a chance against me, dear." She smirked evily at me, which really grated my nerves.

"BLACK WING"

I quickly tried to dive out of the way of the oncoming attack, but unfortunately she was able to turn around and get me in the shoulder. I grunted in pain, and rubbed my injured shoulder for a moment before returning my focus to my opponent. We continued to send attacks back and forth, but eventually she was able to greatly overcome me, forcing me to slide evolve to Zephyrmon. As Zephyrmon I stood a better chance, but I still wasn't strong enough to defeat her. That doesn't mean I gave up, no never.

"*yawn* I tire of this tedious fight, perhaps I should find someone else to fight, someone who will be pose a greater threat. Or maybe," She paused, eyes roving around the field, lighting up when she came upon the battle with IceDevimon. She gave an evil grin. "Perhaps, I should just attack a bunch of children when they are too otherwise occupied to defend themselves." She licked her lips in a sultry hungry way. "That warrior of darkness isn't half bad, quite handsome actually, I'm sure my master wouldn't mind if 'taste the goods' before getting rid of them. Or maybe, I can use the polar bear as a pin cushion. I'm taking up sewing you see, and I need something to hold all of my pins and needles. Of course, why do that, when I can just that fatzo of a bug for a punching bag, or better yet, my master can use his armor to sharpen her nazer nail! Oh! She will be so thrilled with me! I can see it now, I'll be master's new favorite and I'll get to play with all of you kiddies whenever I want." She licked her lips again and that was the extent of my self control.

I had been furiously shaking throughout LadyDevimon's entire speech. The things she envisioned for my close friends and family, I was not at all happy about them. How dare she even think of raping Kouichie, or sticking Tommy with sharp objects, or using JP for a punching bag and nail sharpener! GRRrr! I've had enough of this psycho lady's talk. I need to do something and I need to do it now, before things get worse. The guys had just finished their battle against IceDevimon too, and were exhausted, they're in no condition to fight or defend themselves, especially from the likes of LadyDevimon, evil bitch that she is.

"But why wait and cause them pain, when I can just, do it, right, now! AHAHAHAHA!"

"DARKNESS WAVE!"

"NO!" I shouted, moving as fast as my wings would allow me to intercept the attack and protect the others. One moment I'm racing against time, the next, I feel the most excruciatingly unbearable pain I've ever felt before in my life.

"AHAHAHA!" LadyDevimon cackled loudly.

"ZOE!" the others all shouted in fear.

I slowly dropped to the ground, my wings unable to support me any longer, my body wracked with waves of excruciating pain, but I refused to give up. I shouldered the pain, shakily stood up on my feet and faced my adversary with a glare.

"You're fight, is with, me, LadyDevimon, not, them."

"How are you still standing?! You should be at death's door right now!" She grit her teeth in anger and annoyance, growling slightly.

"Because I have something you don't have, and that is something worth fighting for. Someone who fights to protect will always prevail over someone who fights to destroy, I promise you that. And so long as I am still standing, and I can still breathe, and I am still capable of fighting, you can damn well be sure that I will continue to oppose you or your master or anyone else who tries to hurt my friends, my home, or this world!" without my notice, I was submerged in a bright light, that felt warm and powerful.

"Is this what I think it is?" I asked excitedly. Upon seeing both Kazemon and Zephyrmon in front of me, I grew optimistic and determined to fight and win.

"Let's do this ladies!"

EXECUTE NOW! FUSION EVOLUTION!

My fusion spirit had Zephyrmon's legs and black scarf-tail thing, Kazemon's body armor, and arms, but instead of her bulky gloves, she now wore sleek, skintight gloves similar to AngeWomon's. 3 pairs of Zephyrmon's wings sprouted from my back, the top of each wing covered by armor that looked like Kazemon's fairy wings. My hair was long and purple like Kazemon's, but I also had Zephyrmon's blue hair wings sprouting from the sides of my head and pointing back (similar to how a bird holds their wings against their body). Last but not least, a silver helmet just like AngeWomon's came down to cover from my nose to the crown of my head.

SILPHYANGEWOMON (made this up, I'm not too fond of JetSilphymon)

"Whoa! Do you see her!? Zoe fusion evolved!" Tommy exclaimed from below me.

"Way to go Z! Kick her butt!" JP encouraged me.

"You can do this Zoe! You can beat her!" Kouichie shouted. The cries of encouragement and faith from them gave me the energy I needed to keep going.

"What did you do?!" she screeched in fury. "And why do you look like that ghastly AngeWomon?!"

"I fusion spirit evolved, and now LadyDevimon, you, are going down." I spoke with renewed determination.

PLASMA ARROWS!

CELESTIAL GALES!

PLASMA ARROWS!

After 3 short attacks that used most of my remaining energy, LadyDevimon was finally defeated. Exhausted, I sank to the ground, de-digivolving to Kazemon as I went. I landed on the ground completely exhausted, and I knew that if something were to come my way, I would not be able to move in time. Just as luck would have it, as soon as Myotismon saw both IceDevimon and LadyDevimon were defeated, he was furious. So furious in fact, that he decided to send an attack straight at me, aren't I so lucky?

Knowing I couldn't move, I braced myself for impact, shutting my eyes tightly, hugging myself, I grasped my arms tightly. And just as I did all of that I felt someone else near me, then I felt them wrap their arms around me. I opened my eyes to see Beowulfmon standing in front of me, arms wrapped tightly around my body, trying to protect me from the impact of Myotismon's attack. I locked my gaze with his, shocked that he would do this for me. But he never had to. At the very last moment, Aldamon jumped between us and the attacking, hurling a Solar Wind Destroyer attack to counteract Myotismon's.

Even though I was out of initial danger, Kouji still held me protectively, his body wrapped around mine, our gazes locked, and in the heat of the moment, I did something very, catastrophically bad, totally inappropriate, but I don't regret it: I, as Kazemon, kissed Kouji, as Beowulfmon, on the lips! It was very passionate. Our lips were locked tightly, no chance of breaking it off anytime soon. He hands that were wrapped around my waist moved up my body to cup my face, angling my head to deepen the kiss. My own hands worked on their own accord, reaching up to remove his helmet.

"Beo," I whimpered when we broke away to catch our breath for a moment. He immediately followed in my footsteps, and removd my visor, thus, revealing Kazemon's deepest darkest secret to everyone in attendance: Kazemon is blind! Therefore, once Beo took off the visor, my vision was taken away from me, and my world turned black. I couldn't see his next action, but I felt it when he took my left hand in his, and moved it towards what I assume is his face.

He placed the palm of my hand upon his cheek and let go, giving me free reign to explore his face. I ran my hand up and down the side of his face, going towards the cent as I moved down. My fingers swept over his lips, which he used to kiss each fingertip that passed. My other hand dropped his helmet on the ground and then quickly joined my left hand on his face, cupping both cheeks. Both moved together up his face and into his hair, where I combed my fingers through his blonde tresses, before I moved my hands out of his hair and to the back of his neck where it meets the skull. I ran my fingers down the back of his neck to, around the sides of his neck, back up his neck and towards his skull, until I was able to grasp his jaw. As soon as I had a hold of his jaw, I pulled him back towards me for another kiss.

This kiss was much more passionate than the other, lips moving against each other, heads tilted, and tongues liking lips, he was my life line, and I was his. I made a split second decision to give him the remainder of my energy and power for the day. As I transferred my energy and power to him through our kiss, I started to glow a soft lavender and pink. When he pulled back he was shocked that I transferred my energy to him. I smiled softly at him as I de-digivolved and then finally collapsed against him from exhaustion. I was glad to be able to see again, but I felt so tired from the fight and energy transfer. Kouji picked me up and carried me over to Kouichie, handing me over and ordering Kouichie to stay and protect me.

As I sat and watched Kouji and Takuya battle Myotismon, I noticed I began to regain my energy, and at a fairly quick rate as well. unfortunately, the battle wore on and I could see both of them getting tired while Myotismon didn't seem to lose any energy at all.

"Kouichie you have to help them, please, they need you." I pleaded with him to listen to me and to go help his brother and Takuya.

"He told me to protect you, and I intend to do so."

"Yes, well if someone doesn't get over there to help them soon, Myotismon will destroy them and then come after us, and then it really won't matter if you were protecting me now, because Myotismon would just get to me eventually anyway. Please, just, just go help them, him. Please, I can't watch this a moment longer." I looked away sadly, praying that Kouji, and Takuya, would come back. Finally, I hear Kouichie sigh.

"Alright, alright, I'll go I'll go, just, please, don't cry." He finally relented.

"Thank you Kouichie! Take JP with you, you will need the help. Now go!" I shoed both Kouichie and JP away and towards the battle, while my cousin Tommy, as Kumamon, came and stood guard at my side. Due to my insistence and pestering, Kouichie and JP joining the fight was exactly what they needed to destroy Myotismon. By the time he was defeated, I felt much better and pretty well-energized. Tommy de-digivolved with the others and assisted me in standing back up. As I turned back to face the others I saw Kouji walking briskly towards me, arms raised in preparation to hug me. I immediately threw my arms around him as soon as he got to me, holding on tightly as he swung me around in a circle or two or three. When we stopped spinning he kissed me on both cheeks and the forehead, before burying his face in my hair. I held onto him tightly, afraid that if I let go he would disappear.

As we were cuddling in front of the others (who were smirking at us knowingly) the Floramon and Mushroommon approached us with cheers of thanks and congratulations. They invited us back to their village to join in on the victory celebrations, as well as me getting my spirits and fulfilling Kazemon's legend. So we followed the digimon back to their village where preparations were in full swing.
