Chapter 2
Summer Camp
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon; I do own the idea for the story, and some other Digimon that I made up…
And to all of you who might be wondering, New England Keswick is an actual camp. And the 'w' is silent, its just there to make the name look cool
Kouji jumped at the voice, wondering where it was coming from.
"Where are you?" He said, trying to speak quietly.
"I'm right here," the voice said, turning into the body of a female digimon with green armor and a cross on her head.
"Ophanimon, your back," Kouji exclaimed.
"Yes my young warrior, I have come back."
"What about Seraphimon and Cherubimon?
"They are alive and well, and thanks to you and the other digi-destined, we were able to restore peace to the Digital world. But the peace has not lasted long, for Lucemon has been revived."
"Yeah, he attacked me and Kouichi just tonight. He took off with everyone."
"I know. Us three celestial Digimon have been working on figuring out how he has been getting to and from the human world, and we have located a portal."
"Where is it?"
"It's in the park, but we're not sure yet of the exact location. But you must find it, when you do it will take you anywhere you wish to go. There are two people you must find first. One of them you will find at New England Keswick, the other we do not know her exact location, but when you get to the first one, she will tell you."
"Sure, but what is this 'New England Keswick' anyway?"
"I don't know what it is, but I know you will find who you're looking for there. But I time is running out here, I must leave. Find the portal and ask to go to New England Keswick." Ophanimon started crackling, revealing that she was just a hologram.
Kouji was left all alone once again in his dark room. He looked at the clock and saw it said 2:34 am. He decided he would go back to sleep and find the portal in the morning when the park was the most crowded, but wait to go through it after the people cleared out. Within 10 minutes he was asleep again.
The next morning Kouji had breakfast, and after both of his parents went to work, he went off to the park. When he got there, he felt everything for something there that looked like it could be a portal. He even felt the air, but felt a little stupid after everyone started staring at him.
Finally he came to a tree that had a big hole in the middle of it. I felt the hole, and sure enough the area around his hand turned into data.
This had got to be it he though to himself.
Most of the people had cleared out of the park by then, because it had taken him a few hours to find the right spot, so he looked around, only to see the occasional person biking down the trail, so he decided to go through the portal.
"New England Keswick," he said. Wondering why finding those two other people mattered so much.
The world around him spun in millions of colors. He was getting to dizzy, so he finally decided to close his eyes. But when he opened them again, he was in a totally different place; a bathroom stall. H opened up the door to the stall, and walked out into a pretty good sized bathroom.
He found a set of stairs and a door that lead outside. He decided to go outside instead of exploring the building. He wanted to get the first mission over with so that he could rescue Kouichi.
The door led out into a big hill. There were a few buildings, but what really caught his eye was the natural setting with all the trees and grass. But that was when he figured out was New England Keswick was; it was a summer camp.
How he hated summer camp. With all the screaming campers, the counselors always are telling them what to do. But the worst part of summer camp is the food. The already-scrambled scrambled eggs, the bacon overcooked, the pop corn chicken undercooked. He hated, totally, utterly despised summer camp. But he didn't get to finish his complaining because he was interrupted by someone talking to him.
"Who're you?" The person asked.
Kouji looked and saw his name tag said Tom. What kind of a name is Tom? He thought to himself.
"Hello?" Tom said, waving his hand in front of Kouji. "What cabin are you in?"
Kouji snapped out of his thought. "I'm not in a cabin."
"What do you mean?"
"Uh, I'm just visiting someone."
"Oh," Tom said, and started walking away. "Who are you visiting?"
"Uh…" Sure Ophanimon, nice of you to tell me who I'm looking for. Suddenly he heard a voice in his head say "Kelly Petrelli."
"Well, who are you visiting? Maybe I can help you find them."
"Kelly Petrelli?" Kouji said, almost asking himself the question.
"Oh, I know Kelly. She's a camper here; I'll find her for you."
"Sure, thanks."
Tom pulled out his 2-way and spoke into it. "Where is Kelly Petrelli?"
"She has gaga with Lauren and Colleen," someone answered into the 2-way.
"Ok, thanks."
They walked down the hill to where the mess hall is. The gaga pit was inside, which was nice because it was a hot day.
When they walked inside the mess hall, known as Lambie, Kouji was shocked at how big it was. There was a hallway down one hall that had the camp store, a couple of bathrooms, and the office. There was a flight of stairs that went up to the loft where campers talked in an area with couches, while others played gaga. The kitchen was considerably large. There were buffet table out, one next to the kitchen, the other in the middle of Lambie.
They walked up the stairs to the loft where Tom started talking with the counselor Lauren, asking where Kelly was. She pointed to a camper who was no older than Kouji, with black hair and dark blue eyes like Koujis'. She wore purple shorts and a white shirt with skulls on it, with a blue tank top under it.
Tom pointed out to Kouji where she was, and then went back down the stairs and outside.
Kouji walked over to Kelly, but stopped before he got there, wondering what he was supposed to say to her besides hey, I was sent by a digital monster to find you. Will you come with me?
But he didn't have to think of what to say, because she went right up to him.
"Do you have something to say to me?" She asked.
"Yeah, I think I'm looking for you."
"Is this about that letter I got from someone calling them self 'Ophanimon'?"
How did she know about Ophanimon? And why would Ophanimon send her a letter?
"Are you surprised, Kouji Minamoto?"
"How do you know my name?"
"Ophanimon told me you would be coming to find me. She told me your name, and that you're the Legendary Warrior of Light, Lobomon. She also told me that you needed my help to rescue you brother and your friends."
"We can't talk about that here," Kouji said. They walked down the stairs and down the hall with the hall with the bathrooms.
"So it's true then? You are a warrior?"
"Yes, but not the kind of warrior you know."
"What do you do as the warrior of light?"
"Well, I-" Kouji was cut off before he could finish his sentence.
"Do you have some cool kind of warrior outfit? Is it pretty?"
"It looks like a wolf…"
"Can I see it?"
"No! And will you stop asking questions?"
"Sorry. I don't know what came over me; I never talk so much. I've just been anxious ever since I got that letter, that's all."
"It's ok. I'm sorry I yelled. But I was told to find you, and when I did, you could tell me where to find someone else."
"Yeah, that's what I read in the letter, but I was told to go with you."
"You were what?"
"Yeah, here I'll show you." Kelly pulled out a folded up piece of paper and handed it to Kouji.
Kelly. It read. You have been chosen to save a world. Someone named Kouji Minamoto will be coming to get you. He is the Legendary Warrior of Light, and is the only person you can trust. Find your cell phone, you'll need it. You must help him find your friend Mindy, but make haste in getting to her, for the evil being trying to take control of my world is hunting the three of you down this very minute. You three contain great power, and someone on the enemies' side is trying to take it from you.
~Ophanimon.
P.S. And Kouji, when you read this, be nice to them.
"So you're supposed to come with me?"
"Yeah, this is going to be sooooo awesome! Do you have a car?"
"No, I do not have a car! I don't even have a license yet!"
"Well, should we go? I can tell you where Mindy lives."
"Ok, let's go."
"Good bye Keswick, my second home," Kelly said solemnly.
"You don't have to come."
"Are you kidding me? And miss out on the adventure of a lifetime! Heck no," Kelly exclaimed.
"Ok then. So where's your cell phone?"
"Its in the counselor room in my cabin, I'll show you."
They walked up the hill to a cabin that had a sign on it that said 'Kent'. They went in and entered the counselor room, grabbing Kelly's phone off of a table in there. Kelly left a note, explaining that she was going on an adventure.
They walked up the hill even more to the cabin that Kouji had wound up in.
"What are you doing? I can't go in Swift! It's a boy's cabin!"
"You want to go on an adventure or not?" Kouji asked, looking around and then opening the door.
"What's in Swift anyway?"
"How I got here. I took a portal, so when we go into the portal I need you to think Mindy's address."
"Ok, but why?"
"Because, then we'll end up at your friends house."
"Oh, ok."
They walked into the cabin, looking both ways to make sure that there weren't any counselors to see them and kick them out and send them back to their activity.
They quickly entered the bathroom and Kouji felt around inside the stalls for the data to appear, and sure enough it did, and they entered into it, and then came all the bright lights and colors which, as you can imagine, thrilled Kouji. Kelly said Mindy's address, and then with a big flash of light they were there, only to see the house torn apart, and a girl about 2 years older than Kelly and Kouji being carried off by a giant monster.
"What is that?" Kelly screamed.
"That's a Digimon," Kouji said.
"Well, that Digimon has Mindy!" The two looked up and saw Mindy struggling to free herself from the Digimons' grasp.
Koujis cell phone started glowing. He pulled it out of his pocket, and saw it engulfed in a ball of light. "Could it be?" He said to himself. His cell phone deteriorated into a thousand pieces, only leaving behind enough to form a D-tector.
"Wicked!" Kelly said, amazed at the weird object in Koujis' hand.
"Lobomon," Kouji said, totally unaware of the scene going on around him.
"Kouji, whatever that thing does, now would be a good time!" Kelly screamed as the monster headed toward them.
"Yeah!" Kouji said, as if he was finally able to open the Christmas present he had been waiting to open for so long.
"Execute!" He cried out, his hand getting a strip of data around it. "Spirit Evolution … Lobomon!"
"Whoa!" Kelly said. "It's pretty, and like a wolf!"
"Kelly! Why did your new friend just turn into a part wolf part human with a light saber?" Mindy asked when she saw Lobomon, quitting her struggle for one minute.
"He's the legendary warrior of light."
"Oh, well then, go person!"
Lobomon leapt into action with his lobo kendo and started slicing at the monster. The monster flung his arms wildly at Lobomon, barely missing each time. One of the times, Lobomon managed to land on the giant Digimons hand and stab his sword into it, releasing Mindy from his grasp. Kelly managed to slide a mattress from the crushed house under her to break her fall, and it did help.
"Kelly, what is going on? I thought you were at Keswick."
"I was, but I got a weird letter from someone named Ophanimon, and that Kouji was going to be coming to get me, and sure enough he did. And there was a really cool portal in one of the Swift bathroom stalls!"
"Wow! All I did was get attacked by a monster!" Mindy said. "I didn't even get a letter."
"Mindy, where's your cell phone?"
"In my pocket, why?"
"Cause I think they might be of some importance. Unless Ophanimon just wanted to make sure I didn't forget mine."
Lobomon continued fighting when a new Digimon showed up. This one looked like a bear, but with eight long puffy tails and a mischievous face.
"Flaming tails!" The creature called out his attack, sending blue fire out of the tips of each tail.
"Lobomon, look out!" Mindy and Kelly called at the same time, but it was too late, for the fires were already colliding with Lobomon, and he was falling to the ground.
"Whisker droplets!" another Digimon called out. This Digimon was catlike, but had more like rabbit ears than cat. She had whiskers all over her small body. The came out of her ears, the tips of her tail, everywhere, and when she would use her attack, big water drops would form on the tips of her whiskers.
"What are they?" Mindy asked. Kelly wasn't even sure what they were, besides the fact that they were digimon.
Kelly looked up at the giant Digimon that now stood in front of them. She noticed that it didn't look like an actually monster, but more like a black teddy bear that just looked like he needed a hug. The bear wore a torn, black cape, and had stitches on his mouth, that just made him look all the more sad.
"Shadowweremonzaemon!" the tailed digimon called. "Finish this one off first, than we'll take care of those two."
"But Teddytailmon, didn't Lord Lucemon say to take them alive?"
"Fine, but at least do something to hold him down so we can take them to Lord Lucemon!"
"Hey! Big teddy bear!" Kelly called out to Shadowweremonzaemon. The giant bear turned around and looked down at her. "Why are you doing this? Is it just because you're sad?"
Shadowweremonzaemon looked up, and then back down at her before he said anything. "Yes. It's just so hard being so huge! Everyone always made fun of me in school, and Lucemon said that if I helped him, he would make other Mon like me better."
"Well doing this is making people just like you even less. I don't know who this Lucemon is, but right now you're picking on other people, that's just going to make people not like you. Just be the nice, sweet Digimon that I know is in there somewhere."
"So, you mean that helping Lucemon isn't going to make people like me better?"
"No, its not," Kelly replied.
"But if I don't help Lucemon, who can I help?"
"Well, you can always help us. That guy over there, Lobomon, he's got some pretty cool friends being held by Lucemon. And you could help us get them back."
"Don't listen to her, Shadowweremonzaemon!" Teddytailmon said. "She's just a human trying to turn you against your own kind."
"I'm not trying to turn you against them, I promise."
Shadowweremonzaemon thought about it for a minute. "I actually kind of like you," he said to Kelly. "You don't yell at me like Teddytailmon does." After he said that, he started changing colors. He turned an orange yellow color, with a white belly and a smile on his face. "Thank you for helping me. I know where Lucemon is keeping your friends. I can take you to them."
"Shadowweremonzaemon turned back into Monzaemon." Lobomon said, slowly standing up.
Teddytailmon growled. "We'll be back humans, don't forget that! Come on Whiskeretmon."
Teddytailmon and Whiskeretmon disappeared through the portal that Kelly and Kouji had come through.
Kouji de-spirit evolved and Monzaemon started on through the portal with Kouji, Kelly, and Mindy behind him. "To the Digital World."
They entered the Digital World, but to Koujis surprise, it was even more destroyed than when they got there the first time.
"What happened here?" he asked Monzaemon.
Monzaemon sighed. "Lucemon has been terrorizing the Digital World for a long time now, around the time your friend Takuya got taken here."
Kouji frowned. The world they had fought to hard to free was being destroyed again.
They Followed Monzaemon toward Lucemons hideout unaware of the danger to be faced on the long road.
To be continued
Oh, and Teddytailmon is a Digimon I had made up a few years ago, but I didn't feel like changing the name, and it's the same with Whiskeretmon. I made them one day when I was bored, and I started writing a different Digimon fan fiction a while back, so I decided I wanted to use them in this one, along with Kelly, and Mindy is a newer character that I friend wanted to make for this.
Well, please review
