Chapter Seventeen: The Last Beast Spirit

We rode down a fast river in top speed. "Man we'll be there in no time" commented Takuya.

"B-but its soo cold" I chattered.

"Here take it" Koji said holding up his jacket.

"Really then won't you be cold?" I asked.

"Just take it." Koji said.

"Thank you" I hugged Koji then quickly put the jacket on. "I know I put something useful in here" I said looking for my padded jacket.

"Can't feel my fingertips." Zoe said blowing on her hands. "Found it." I said happily. I took out my jacket and rummage through the many pockets. "Here Zoe, Takuya, Tommy, J.P, Koji." I said handing them a warm pack.

"What's this?" asked Zoe. I took her pack from the package and rubbed the pack together. "There" I said handing it back to Zoe.

"Ahh, it's warm" Zoe said. The other quickly tore their packs off and warmed it. "Why do you have these in your pocket?" asked Zoe.

"I get cold easily." I said.

"Ahh Neemon how can you sleep in the cold? You'll freeze to death" Tommy said. At the word 'death' Neemon woked up.

"Heheheh" we laughed weakly.

"Sakura may I borrow that jacket?" Zoe said.

"Sure but be careful it's very heavy." I said.

"How heavy can it be?" Zoe said and placed it on her shoulders. She slouched at the weight. "It is heavy what do you have in this?" Zoe asked.

"It's a padded jacket, it makes me look flat so I can look more male than female." I said remember how I hate it for being very heavy.

"What's up ahead?" I asked as Zoe took part of the jacket off.

"It should be the Autumn fair." Bokomon said.

"That doesn't look like a fair to me." Zoe said.

"Everyone hold on to something on the raft so you don't get blown off" Koji commanded. I grabbed the side and the barrel that was connected to the raft as we fell into a cavity. The top part/sail part broke off.

"It's not over yet." Tommy warned. "What is that?"

"A snowman?" we all asked and duck as we crashed into the snowman. We all groan as we landed on the ground.

"Hey it's warm here" Koji said.

"Hmm" I asked and touched the floor. "You're right." I said.

"Its warm why is it warm?" Zoe asked.

"Maybe because of that." Takuya said pointing to a giant furnace.

"Oh my" I said. "Hey it's the fair thingy" Takuya stated.

We spilt up to look for the Toucanmons. "Have you seen a Toucanmon, they're wear red pants with yellow ovals on them?" I asked.

"No" said Agumon.

"Have you seen…" I asked many trade market sales digimon but they all had the same answer 'No' I went into a store with a purple sign at the outside. Inside was a tiny hut with a giant yellow sign saying 'Draw the 50 scenes or person within 15 minutes. Win fabulous prize' Maybe the prize would be the D-tector. I thought.

"Hello Mister, I would like to try out for the competition." I said.

"I'm Deputymon. Welcome you would like to try for our competition. Your sketches will be judged by our judges; me. The rules are simple just draws what's on the list and the picture must be colored, you can grayscale it if you want. If you can finished that before the time goes out I'll give you the rest of the items. On the lists were 35 things. 1. Draw our furnace. I went to a table and started sketching with the pencil. Deputymon was beside me with a stopwatch out. I drew a furnace, a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat, a beast, legendary warrior of the light, warrior of the fire, wind, water, ice, Deputymon, a beach, fishes swimming undersea, a four course meal, and more.

"Hurry up where the next list." I yelled as I finished the photo of an ancient city.

"Was that Sakura?" a familiar voice asked.

"Yo! I'm over here" I screamed and waved my hand. "Where the next list I'm wasting time." I yelled.

"What are you doing?" Koji asked.

"Sketching." I said smiling.

"Here you go." Deputymon said. "You have 6 minutes and 21 seconds." Deputymon warned.

I look at the list and remember the first 5 things. I started sketching my hand flashing all over the paper.

"We are supposed to look for the D-Tectors not draw." Koji said.

"Hey, don't bother her" a digimon cried as I slowed down a bit.

"Don't worry, look at the sign I thought that the prize will be the D-tectors." I said now on the sixth thing

"Man, did you draw this, X?" asked Takuya.

"Yep what do you think? And I am Sakura not X" I said.

"You always have been quite the drawer." Koji said.

"Yea…" I said on the 13th item, draw an orchard.

"2 minutes" Deputymon said.

"Nnn" I said and hurried up.

"This is how I looked like?" Koji asked as he looked at the photo of Lobomon and Kendogarurumon.

"Yea… that… sword… is… you're… lobo… sword" I said focusing on my drawing.

"Wow you're fast." Takuya said.

"Shush" I said now on the last item.

"Draw the crystal castle." I bit my bottom lip and started sketching what I remember of the castle. "10…9…8… 7…6…almost done…5…4…3…2-"Done" I shouted.

"1 second left my lady well down, now let's see." Deputy examined the genuine sketches. I stared. "Good… very… good…. pretty… nice…. beautiful… fantastic" Deputymon said. He fired two guns. "We have a winner." He said lifting my hands. "Sign here on all the pictures please I would like to put them up." He said. I quickly signed them all. "Follow me." He led me through a room to the back and handed me 10,000 bits (digibucks) and a plushie doll key chain of a cute digimon. I chained Relemon onto my belt.

"Hey guys wait up" I yelled and hugged them. "Thank you you've been a great help." I said.

"How" asked Takuya.

"Well if I never had seen you spirit evolved I wouldn't know how to draw them and there was more points if they are in action. So thank you." I squeeze and walk along with them.

"Another plate" cried J.P.

"Was that J.P?" I asked. We squish through the crowd towards J.P. There J.P sat with a bunch of plates in front of him.

"Boys have huge appetite." I sighed.

"That's it I can't eat anymore" J.P said.

"Whatcha doing?" I asked.

"Trying to win that prize." J.P said. There was a sign saying eat 30 plates to win prize.

"We are supposed to be looking for the Toucanmon." Koji said.

"Are we the only two who remembered?" asked Takuya. "Turns out that the Toucanmon ate here and they might have paid with the D-tectors" J.P explained.

"Well that's what Zoe thought."

"Zoe is here too?" I asked.

"Come on hurry up I'm waiting here." Zoe screamed. I went over and saw Zoe stuffing down another plate of food.

"You were saying?" Takuya whispered in my ear smirking. Zoe had eaten more food than J.P.

"Where does she put it all?" Koji asked.

"I don't know I can't eat that much. I can't even eat more than two plates" I stated. "Zoe, are you trying to go for the grand prize?" I asked.

"Yep. Hey were did you get that keychain it's cute." Zoe said.

"I won it at a contest tell you about it later." I said getting pulled out by Takuya and Koji.

"Eating thirty plates of food is impossible for me." I said.

We sighed. We saw Bokomon and Neemon running up to us. "I was looking for the Toucanmon when I saw Tommy leave town." Neemon said.

"What?" I said and we ran to the edge of town.

On the way out I saw a sign saying 'Karoke night winner gets cool prize' "O" I said starting to go that way. "Keep going." said Koji running back and picking me up.

"Tommy" I sighed. Tommy ran towards us when he saw us. Tommy cried into Takuya's shirt. "Tommy…"

We walked back to town when Tommy calmed down. We heard a cry and an attack from a far. We ran to the source of the sound, we saw Petaldramon there. Takuya and Koji took rusted pipe and wood while Tommy and I ran towards Datamon. "Are you alright?" I asked. Tommy started blubbering again. "Ah Tommy don't start crying again." I said.

"I'm…I'm sorry….I couldn't find…anything…to trade with." Tommy cried out. Datamon put a hand on Tommy face.

"Have you ever heard the saying Truth is the greatest treasure?" Datamon asked.

"Nope" Tommy said. Datamon handed Tommy his D-tector. Tommy shook it listening to it. Datamon laughed and told him there was nothing wrong all he did was add the winning prize.

"Koji, Takuya!" I screamed as I realized they we're in battle. "Exe-sa-cute! Beast Spirit Evolution" I shouted and scanned my hand on my falling D-tector. I grabbed it and spirit evolve to Rosemon X. While Tommy beast spirit evolved to Korikakumon. "Congratz Tommy, you got you're beast spirit." I said.

"So it really is true; humans have the power to turn into digimon" Datamon said. Korikakumon grabbed Petaldramon's tail while I ran to the front protecting Koji and Takuya. Korikakumon punched Petaldramon in the face then started meditation.

"Tommy what are you doing this is no time to be mediating. Ahh behind you" Bokomon shouted.

"Rose Rapier" I said and charged at Petaldramon with my sword. I was too slow and Korikakumon got hit by Petaldramon. Korikakumon pushed Petaldramon off him. "Avalanche Axes." Korikakumon summoned two axes and disappeared. He started slashing Petaldramon with it. Then he cheered out loud.

"Well that something you don't see everyday." Koji said.

"I agree." I drifted nearby Koji and the others.

"You're going to pay for that." Petaldramon said "Thorn Jab" he stuck his two tails into the ground and they pierce Korikakumon.

"Here guys go help out you're friend." Datamon said passing them their D-Tectors.

"Slide evolution. Dianamon" I said. "Crescent Harken" I kicked two crescent black attacks at Petaldramon to gather his attention while Lobomon and Agunimon free Korikakumon. Korikakumon finished the battle.

We all gather together on the outskirts of the fair. "I'm just glad I didn't hurt you guys when I got my beast spirit" Tommy said.

"Why must everything come up to that? " Takuya said.

"Digidestined." Ophanimon said.

"Opahnimon, Seraphimon turned into a digiegg." Zoe said

"Yes. I know."

"So what are we suppose to do about it?" Koji asked.

"Before I tell you; this is a crucial point. You can stop now or face the dangerous things ahead. Will you accept the risk?"

We all nodded. "Of course we will." Takuya said.

"Are you certain?"

"I never been so certain in my life" Zoe said.

"I accept" I said. "

What do we do know Ophanimon?" Koji asked.

"Head for the Rose morning star and then..." Ophanimon was cut off.

"Ophanimon?" I asked as the connection went dead.

"Where Rose morning star?" I asked.

"Rose Morning Star is over there" Bokomon pointed to a pinkish light.

"How are we going to get on a star?" asked J.P.

"You don't go on a star, we go under it." Bokomon sighed irritably at J.P's stupidity.

"More walking…" I sighed sadly. All our heads went down.

"You remember the eating contest, well first place prize was tickets on a Trailmon." Zoe said.

"Yay!" I scream and hugged Zoe.

We all hitch a ride on a Trailmon. "So what did you win in the drawing contest?" Zoe asked.

"10,000 digibucks, and this cute key chain." I said holding up Relemon. "Aww that soo cute." Zoe said.

"Bokomon how much is 10,000 digibucks?" I asked.

"That a lot of money" Neemon answered.

"It's a fair amount and it's called bits not digibucks." Bokomon stated.

"Yay we're rich." We screamed.

"Can you draw something for me?" Asked Tommy.

"Sure." I took a pencil and unfolded a sheet of paper. "What do you want me to draw?" I asked.

"umm…draw Korikakumon's spirit." Tommy said. I started sketching, my hand flashing around the paper.

"Whoa you're good." Zoe said.

"Thank you, but it's really not that good." I said modestly.

"O stop being modest." Takuya said elbowing me.

"Draw the one of Agunimon with the flames." Takuya said. We spent most of the night drawing until we all fell asleep.
