Chapter Forty Four: Life after Death
We rode on a Trailmon.
"I hope they all got home safely." Tommy said.
"I'm sure they're fine." Zoe said.
"Don't worry. Worm wouldn't let anything happen to them." Takuya said.
"It's pretty empty out there. There's barely anything left to save." Koichi said.
"We got ourselves a royal problem." Koji said.
"What are we going to do about that problem, we can't even beat them." J.P said.
"I know." Zoe replied.
"How can you even say that? We have to find a way to save them, no matter what." Takuya said.
"Well incase you're interested, the village of beginning is just ahead." Bokomon said.
"Well the name is interesting." Takuya said.
"Hey can we stop there?" I asked turning around to see Takuya staring at me.
"Ummm…." Takuya said.
"Pwease?" I asked smiling. Takuya began to blush.
"Um…Sure." Takuya said.
"Yay. The village of beginning is where digimon are born, right?" I asked.
"That is correct." Bokomon said.
"Really?" Tommy questioned.
"Can a purified digiegg go there?" Zoe asked.
"Good question, Zoe. But with all the scanning going on I just hope it's still there." Bokomon said.
"…" I remain silent.
"Get off and Get lost." Fraken the Trailmon said.
"Bye" we said. "Man this place is so beautiful." Takuya said.
"This place is vital it's where all the digimon start their life." Bokomon said.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm pretty egg-cited to be here. You get 'egg'cited." Neemon said as we past a bush of digieggs. We stop and looked at the bush again.
"Wow cool." Tommy said.
"There beautiful." I said. "
They're prettier close up." Zoe said.
"The village is full of them." Bokomon said.
"Egg-tra ordinary. Eggucational." Neemon continued.
I saw J.P reaching for an egg and I took out my rod and place it under his throat as a feather shoot down at him, almost pricking his hand. J.P screamed.
"Hey who's there?" Takuya asked. "
Step away from the egg right now. Intruders" Swanmon said flying down.
"You do not touch the egg." I said and place my rod back. Bokomon identify Swanmon. "Swanmon!" I greeted.
"Sakura? Is that you? Oh welcome back." She said hugging me with her wings.
"These are my friends, and I apologize for what happen they didn't know." I said.
"In that case I bid you loving welcome." Swanmon said as everyone fell down. "I am Swanmon, caretaker of the village of beginnings." Swanmon said.
"I make sure they get water and nurturance everyday. The eggs are the treasure of the digital world." Swanmon said.
"Hey Sakura, how did you know Swanmon and the village of beginning?" Zoe asked.
"Well, when the other me got here she helped Swanmon take care some of the digieggs." I explained.
"Of course how could I forget, it was so hard to get them to go to their homes." Swanmon said.
"Yea. I'm sorry about that." I said.
"Don't be if it wasn't for you, it would have been a lot harder to take care of them all." Swanmon said.
"Hey this one's hatching." Patamon said. We quickly ran back. The egg hatch and Pabumon jumped onto Swanmon.
"Pabu" it said.
"Aww, Pabu to you." Zoe said.
"Hey something wrong." Takuya said holding up his D-tector along with Koji's.
"It's the four evil warriors." Koji said.
"Zoe, remember the question you asked me?" Bokomon asked. "The eggs of the four legendary digimon must be sent back here to be reborn." Bokomon said.
"So you mean that they'll be reborn some day." Zoe said.
"After all that work." J.P whined.
"Wait, we purified them when we scanned them, and Cherubimon's gone. So this time when they are reborn they'll good." Takuya said.
"I hope you're right." Tommy said.
"Excuse me, it's time to feed this one and get it to bed and the others should be hurry around now." Swanmon said.
"The other? How many are they? Would you like some help?" Zoe asked.
"Oh I couldn't ask you to do that, but you can come in and look around if you like." Swanmon said.
Inside where many baskets each carrying one digimon.
"There more than the last time I was here." I said as the others stared at the inside.
"You take care of all of these by yourselves?" They ask.
"Yes, it usually will be for a day or so and then the Trailmon will take them to their homes. But the Trailmon hasn't been coming recently." Swanmon said.
"Why would they do that?" Tommy asked.
"I heard that the Beanstalk Village disappeared recently, it seems like the whole digital world is under attack. The Trailmon are frightened and is staying at the tunnel refusing to go out." Swanmon said.
"The Trailmon are more like babies than the babies." Takuya said.
"Well anyway the Trailmon are gone and you guys need some milk don't you?" Swanmon said referring to the babies.
"Swanmon let me help." Zoe said.
"You know my answer." I said rolling up my sleeves.
"Yea I love babies." J.P said.
"I could feed them." Tommy said.
"I got plenty of experience." Bokomon said.
"Very well but it's not going to be easy." Swanmon said.
"Wait a moment please you don't want to get a stomachache do you?" I asked Puttimon.
"Sakura are you sure you can handle them all?" Takuya asked.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because you helping six of them at once." Takuya said.
"Don't worry, my record is eight." I said.
"Here you go." I said handling Tsubumon a bottle and place Daitirimon into his basket.
"Takuya behind you." I said as Conomon started to cry.
"Ah but I'm not done with him yet." Takuya said referring to Chibomon in his hand. "Here you go little fella." I said handing Conomon a fresh bottle.
"Relemon slow down you don't want to choke." I said.
"This is a challenge I never thought I would face in the digital world." Takuya said as I two more fell asleep. I giggled.
Zoe helped J.P with his Pagumon while Koji was feeding a Tsunomon and Koichi was holding two twin YukimiBotamon. Bokomon was feeding a Jyraimon and Patamon carrying a Conomon. Tommy was trying to feed one without getting crowded by five others.
"They're finally all asleep." Swanmon sighed.
"We did it huh?" Takuya asked tried.
"I don't know how you do that all the time." Zoe said as I help Takuya from falling over.
"If you want a job here, I'll be happy to hire you. Now who wants some tea?" Swanmon asked.
"Is it true that you all in heritage the spirits of the great legendary warriors?" Swanmon asked.
"You can bet you're booty." Bokomon said.
"Hey Z are you going to put him down so you can eat?" J.P asked. "I would but every time I put him down he'll cry." Zoe said.
"How about you then X?" J.P asked.
"Takuya, you got him to call me 'X' didn't you? I'm fine, they'll cry if I put them down or advert my attention." I said.
"You're just like a mother and the both of you are spoiling them." J.P said.
"I wish my mom was here to spoil me." Tommy said sadly.
We all started to look down and think about our mothers, except I didn't know my mother, she died a week after I was a year old. I wondered how my mother is like.
"What's wrong with everybody? Is there something wrong with the food? Am I going to be sick again?" Neemon asked panicking.
"I'm glad I didn't go home. Besides I am a big kid now." Tommy said.
"Yea, which kids can say that they're half digimon? That is pretty cool" Takuya said.
"I remember the first time I spirit evolve, it felt weird but it feels normal now." Zoe said.
"I can't even imagine not being a digimon, I am Beetlemon." J.P said.
"Yea it sure made me a lot stronger, I remember when I used to be scared of everything." Tommy said.
"You know what makes it better? We have two birthdays to celebrate, one when we were born and one when we become digimon." Koji said.
"Yea, my life would never be the same." Koichi said.
"That goes double for me." I said.
"That's why we have to stick together and save the digital world. This world is our second home." Takuya said.
"Thank you very much." Bokomon said.
"Well gang what do you say about talking to those Trailmon and getting these babies home?" Zoe asked.
"That would be very nice of you." Swanmon said.
I stood up and went away from the tree when most digimon started to cry.
"What wrong?" Swanmon asked as we stop. Puttimon, Chibomon, Koromon, Conomon, Yukimibotamon jumped out of their basket and bounced towards me.
"Seems like they don't want you to leave." Koji said with a smrik.
"I think they think you're they're mother." Koichi said with a chuckle.
"That's because you were spoiling them." J.P said.
I looked down a little sad about the mention of a mom.
"Come on X we need to talk to those Trailmon." Takuya said.
I turn to leave when the digimon started to water up again. "Um…You guys go, I'll stay here." I said.
"Why?" Takuya asked turning around and seeing the digimon angry at him and others were crying. He sweat dropped and started to back away from the angry digimon.
"Okay calm down." I said scooping the angry digimon who looks like they were about to attack up, they turn from red to normal. "I'll stay." I said sweat dropping. "Good luck" I called as they started towards the Trailmon cave.
"Back so soon?" Swanmon asked watering the eggs. Swanmon turned to see the Royal knights. "Down Tornado" Swanmon said attacking the two.
"Spiral Masquerade." Crusadermon said slicing all the feathers.
"What's that?" I asked. "By right back." I said to the digimon as I went outside to see Swanmon.
"Spiral Masquerade." I heard someone say.
"I know that voice." I said running.
"Swanmon!" I screamed as she got hit.
"Ah, it's you again." Dynasmon said.
"You won't get away with this." I scream reaching for my D-tector.
"Not so fast there feeble creature." Crusadermon said throwing yellow ribbon at me. It tightens around my arms pinning them against my side.
"Fist of Athena." Crusadermon said punching Swanmon.
"Swan-mufff" I screamed angry at the new added cloth on me. "Mfff mm pft" I scramble with worlds.
"Fist of Athena" Crusadermon said punching Swanmon again. I scramble to my feet and head butt her out of my way. Crusadermon punched the fabric. It didn't hurt as much with the fabric there, the fabric acts like armor.
"Sakura" Swanmon yelled running towards me.
"Scarlet Tempest" Crusadermon said making a rose petal whirlpool. Both of us were stuck in it. Unfortunately the fabric didn't get cut loose.
"Those Trailmon are rude not wanting to help the babies." Zoe puffed, walking back to the village now.
"Children." Swanmon said weakly.
"Swanmon, I'm sorry…we tried to get the Trailmon to help but-"MFFFFFFF" I yelled catching there attention. I was flying threw the air from an attack.
"Run" Swanmon translated. "Run" Swanmon repeated. Get out now! I wanted to yell but it came out like. "Tfff pftt mfft" Swanmon collapsed.
"SWANMON" They yelled.
"Sftwmfft" I said.
I heard laughs coming from behind me. I turn around to see the royal knights. I crouched facing the knights. "You still want to fight, huh?" Crusadermon asked.
"Eiee mftt- not let you win." I said as Cruadermon cut off the ribbon on my mouth.
"Get out of our way." Dynasmon said kicking me away. I rolled back and was caught by Koji.
"Thank you." I said.
"Go guys you can do this." J.P chanted as Koji and Takuya unify spirit evolve.
"Blast it off." I said as MagnaGarurumon cut the ribbons off.
"Royal Evolution." I said nothing happened.
"What's going on?" J.P asked.
"I must be too far from Relemon." I said running towards the tree. "Relemon!" I shouted she jumped from her bed and ran outside. "Royal Evolution." I said and evolve to Sakuyamon.
I flew back as quickly as possible and saw that the others were collecting eggs. "Izuna" I said and sent two (wind and water) to help collected the eggs. "Crystal Sphere" I said and summon two barriers that broke when it was hit. I quickly made another set to use. "I won't allow you to harm the village and all that lives in it." I said. "Amethyst Mandala" I summon a ring around Crusadermon as Dynasmon escaped.
Dynasmon appeared behind me and punched me making both shields and ring 'pop' and I reverted back due to no more stamina, which I didn't have much left due the damage done when human.
"Now back to business." Dynasmon said trying to scan a bush but EmperorGreymon stopped him. The foxes disappeared. I ran back to help collect the eggs.
EmperorGreymon reverted back a little bit later. Zoe went off to get the Trailmon to help. Dynasmon summoned a giant dragon after being enraged by the insults that was give. The baby digimon used they're only attack, bubble blowing and all the digimon bubble defeated the dragon causing Dynasmon to be more angry. Takuya, Koji and I went in front of the baby digimon and protected them. Zoe and the Trailmon arrived. The remaining four legendary warrior's digiegg and scan went along side with us. Koichi said that the eleven legendary warriors are all together. We all spirit evolve to our human spirits.
"All the spirits are together now." Bokomon said.
"Time to party. Pryo Punch" Agunimon said.
"Howling Laser" Lobomon said.
"Hurricane Wind." Kazemon said.
"Crystal Breeze." Kumamon said.
Then the four warriors attacked.
"Thunder Fist." Beetlemon said.
"Shadow Meteor" Loewemon said.
"Crescent Hook." I said.
Dynasmon and Crusadermon flew off.
"There too strong we'll come back some other time." Crusadermon said.
"I'm not leaving without the data." Dynasmon said taking the data. "Transmission." Dynasmon said throwing the ball of data down to Lucemon.
Takuya was angry about not being able to save the Primary village. We all thanked the four legendary warriors who helped and our worries of them staying evil disappeared.
Swanmon thanked us for helping with the digimon and I was tackled by digimon, which we had to pry off and hand them back to Swanmon, who laughed remembering the old times and the digimon cried as they left. Takuya promised to save the digital world.
