Here it is. The next Chapter! Things are heating up in this story! I'm actually excited about this! Also, I am going to make a poll for my next digimon project. I would be greatful for your votes on the matter. Hope you enjoy!
He didn't know what to say. That much was clear on his face. I knew what I wanted him to say, but I didn't know if he could. The Dark Spore was manipulating his every move. If he couldn't find the strength to fight it then we were never going to win. I watched as the emotions ran through his cool grey eyes. Shock, confusion, those were just two that I could name. My plea hadn't fallen on deaf ears. That much was certain, but it wasn't guaranteed that the person who heard it was going to listen. I kept my face blank as he crossed the rest of the space between us and lowered himself so he was kneeling next to me. His arms reached out and next thing I knew I was on his lap in his protective embrace. I didn't say anything to him. I just closed my eyes and stayed still letting him feel my disapproval. 'Sakura, I…' Whatever he was going to say was cut of by a loud crash that shook the room. His grip tightened as he shifted ready to move quickly away from any danger. 'What the…' He muttered looking around the room for any signs of damage. I tugged his sleeve so he could see my questioning, and concerned, look. It was met by a confused and equally worried look. There were definitely alarms for external breaches, which meant that whatever caused that shockwave was inside the base. Not the most comforting thought I'd ever had. Ken stood up pulling me with him. He didn't let go of my hand as he led me out the room. Lalamon rushed to follow. 'Ken, Kimeramon's ready but with out your orders he's attacking everything.' Wormmon said running up. I saw Ken tense with surprise before smiling.
'Excellent. Wormmon I want you to stay with Sakura and help Lalamon protect her. I'm going to take control.' Ken instructed before running off. I felt my jaw drop at the fact he was plain ignoring me. He never did that.
'Wormmon, I don't think I know any Digimon named Kimeramon. And what did you mean by ready?' Lalamon asked turning my attention back to the rookies. Wormmon shuffled and looked down an action that I knew meant he was nervous or unsure. I smiled looking at him.
'Ken said to work together to protect me. If Kimeramon's dangerous then Lalamon and I need to know.' I said kindly. He probably didn't want to betray Ken but this way he was following Ken's orders. To my surprise Wormmon looked mad when he turned to me. That was as surprising as the old Ken looking mad.
'Oh Kimeramon's dangerous all right. It's Ken's latest project. He took data from several Digimon and created a monster.' Wormmon explained furiously.
'Sakura!' Lalamon yelled as I fell to the floor. In my shock my legs had forgotten how to work. I moved so I was kneeling and looked at Wormmon in horror.
'He didn't, oh please tell me he didn't.' I whispered pleadingly. Wormmon's antenna dropped as he nodded. I gulped and stood up. They looked at me surprised. 'We have to stop him! Whatever the cost we have to.' I said firmly. This time it was too much. Kimeramon was a monstrosity. I knew that the data would be corrupted and conflicting against each other. Kimeramon would like a frightened animal, out of control, only there was no way to reach it. The best thing for it was for it to be deleted.
'What do we need to do?' I jumped and spun round to see the Digidestined standing a little worse for wear but with proud grins. I smiled back as Cody hugged me.
'This is getting to be a habit.' He joked causing me to laugh. It was forced though my mind still on Kimeramon. I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the team.
'I'll tell you what's going on, but your not going to like it.' I warned grimly before telling them about Kimeramon, Wormmon occasionally adding some details in. Yolei, Cody and Kari were horror struck that anyone could do such a thing. The girls came over and gave me comforting smiles knowing that I probably needed them. Davis looked furious but it was nothing on TK. TK was angry. There was no other way of saying it. As I met his eyes I knew why. One of the Digimon Ken had taken data from was Devimon. I had thought the situation was bad before but the dark powers processed by Devimon made it ten times worse. 'TK, I know that this is personal for you but you need to think calmly and logically or someone will get hurt.' I told him firmly. Pegasusmon nodded stepping closer and nudging him comfortingly.
'It will be fine TK. History won't repeat itself.' He told his partner calmly. TK looked torn before nodding and hugging his friend.
'Right, we're stronger than before.' TK agreed with a small but honest smile. The new guys looked confused as they looked between Kari and me.
'It's a long story, one we'll have to explain later.' Kari told them earning nods from those of us who knew.
'Sakura, do you have your Digivice?' TK asked frowning. I was about to shake my head when I realised something.
'Eh, I do!' I said shocked taking it of my belt. My D-terminal was in the pouch on my belt like normal as well.
'Eh!' They were clearly shocked as well. Of all the mistakes for Ken to make that wasn't going to be one of them. I frowned as I looked at the group. I was sure there were tears in my eyes but I couldn't help it. He still trusted me enough to leave me my Digivice and D-terminal. I could clearly see when they came to the same conclusion and was surprised when determined looks came over their faces.
'That proves it. There is still some good in Ken.' Davis said for the group smiling. I was startled when they all nodded.
'Yes, if Ken can still trust Sakura enough to leave her D3 and D-terminal he has to have some good in him.' Cody agreed calmly.
'Well then lets go save him!' Yolei said punching the air with enthusiasm. We all gave her looks.
'It's not going to be easy. The powers of Devimon probably made the Dark Spore stronger and we still don't know how to defeat it.' TK warned.
'We have to try though. He's one of us even if he's a bit confused right now.' Kari told them firmly. I gulped looking around my friends.
'Thank you.' I told them honestly a smile creeping onto my face. Wormmon stepped forward drawing everyone's attention.
'I think I know something that could help. You need more power if you want to defeat Kimeramon.' Wormmon explained. His antennas were perked up and his face set in determination.
'Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!' Davis said.
'Yeah.' Yolei agreed with a grin.
'I'm game.' TK said stepping forward so he was beside Davis.
'I'm in.' Cody added grasping my hand. I gave it a squeeze as I smiled.
'Do I need to say it?' I joked laughing slightly.
'It's time to prove ourselves as Digidestined.' Kari spoke up joining the circle that had formed.
'This battle has more at stake than ever before. Are we ready?' Davis asked knowing the answer.
'Ready.' We agreed in unison reaching for our Digivices.
'Well then…' He started as our Digivices started to glow.
'Digi-Armour Energise!'
I held my breath for the seconds it took for us to charge through the smoke. Flamedramon had done a swift job blowing down the door to the chamber that held the bases power source. Ken had never let me in here so I had no idea what it was. I felt my breath catch as we took in the huge golden chamber. There was a walkway running from one door to the next. In the centre it went around a large pillar. At the level of the walkway the Pillar broke into a small circular room. On a pedestal in this room emitting a golden light over the room was a Digi-egg. 'There it is! The golden Digi-egg!' Wormmon said unnecessarily. No one spoke to awed by the sight.
'So that's where the all this power comes from.' TK noted with a shaky breath. To our surprise Wormmon shook his head.
'No, the Emperor can only harness a small amount of energy from the Egg. The rest comes from the Crest of Kindness but that's in a different, more guarded room and wouldn't help you as much anyway.' Wormmon explained. Of course, I'd never even wondered what happened to the Crest. It was obvious now I thought about it.
'What are we waiting for, let's grab that egg!' Davis said starting to enter the room. TK and Cody moved quickly grabbing his arms and holding him back.
'Don't be an idiot. There's probably traps around it.' TK warned annoyed. Davis stopped his struggled and sighed.
'I'm an idiot all right. I didn't even think about traps.' He admitted shaking his head. TK and Cody let go satisfied they'd knocked some sense into Davis. Then I saw the usual I'm going to get in trouble for this grin on his face. 'Well someone has to go get it!' He noted cheerily even as he set of in a charge. Thanks to his soccer skills Davis was by far the fastest of the group. There was no way any of us could stop him as he ran along the walkway. We let out a sigh as he stopped in front of the pedestal without some disaster occurring.
'Davis! Do you ever listen!' Yolei screeched causing the rest of us to wince. I didn't want to be Davis when Yolei had time to catch up with him. Worse of all, she could hold a grudge unlike the rest of us. Davis just grinned picking up the egg. To our surprise it glowed even brighter. I noticed as I squinted to protect my eyes that Flamedramon had de-Digivolved back to Veemon. 'I feel kind of funny.' Veemon noted as he started to glow too. My jaw dropped as I realised the Egg was reacting to Veemon's data.
'Davis, Golden Armour Energise!' I instructed without knowing why. He nodded raising the egg, which meant I had to close my eyes cause the glow got even brighter.
'Golden Armour Energise!' He repeated firmly. I felt the light fade and opened my eyes. Then they widened like everyone else's as we took in the sight. Clad in golden armour that glowed with the light of the egg, the light of miracles a small voice inside me said was a Digivolved Veemon.
'I am Magnamon. Born of the Light of Miracles I am here to save the Digital World with my Magna Blaster and Magna Explosion.' The new Digimon said floating above Davis as we stepped onto the walkway. We walked over to Davis not taking our eyes of the amazing new Digimon. One thing was certain; if this wasn't enough then the Digital World was doomed. We needed a miracle; I just prayed that Magnamon was a strong enough one.
Is Magnamon strong enough to defeat Kimeramon? Can Ken be saved? Find out on the next The Possibilty of Kindness.
