Lupine Laser: I hope you all like it! More reviews please! I'm going to have my end-of-the-year examinations and it's very important so I'm going to have to focus on my work much more and I seek your understanding if I will not update my stories as often as I did for the first few chapters. Here are my thanks to those who have supported me through this story so far.
The Keeper of Worlds- Thanks. No problem! Anything for my readers to read if they enjoy it as much as you do!
Allycat826- That is such a good idea. I will include it in my story. Thanks!
kojiluvr- Sure thing. I won't. I just had a writer's block for my other story and had an overload of ideas for this one so I wrote this first. Hope you understand.
18cookies and NiNhA.3- Thanks for following my story!
vampiregirl623 and Ill elemental- Thank you for favouriting my story! Hope you like it!
Guest1- The other Warriors are going to come into the picture soon. Very very soon. Be patient.
sharkpedofromverpets- I think I got some of the ideas from a not-yet complete fanfiction but I twisted some things. Thanks anyway!
OMNISENSE95- Perhaps you could tell me where my grammatical errors are? Thanks for the correction.
Guest (reviewed for chapter 3)- Sorry but I didn't forget about the other Legendary Warriors. I was focusing more on the action in Odaiba first but they will come in soon. When they go into the Digital World, I think I will start including scenes from where the evil Digimon is.
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. I have no inspiration for designing Digimons anyway so I guess I will never own it.
The Legend of the Spirits
Chapter 5: Truths Revealed (Part 1)
Zoe's POV
Zoe had seen the determined expression on Kouji's face before. She knew not to argue with him because that would just make him even more mad. However, Zoe could not stop worrying about Kouji. She had rushed everyone out of the classroom into the school field and many people had asked her what in the world was going on. Of course, Zoe could not tell anyone. The Digital World was meant to be a secret and Digimons should not be appearing here.
Duskmon was back and he was obviously trying to harm Kouji. How that was possible, Zoe did not know. Kouji had wanted her to be safe and Zoe did not question what he wanted her to do at that time. But now, since everyone was safe except for him, Zoe was questioning her decision to leave him. 'What if Kouji doesn't make it? Duskmon is no ordinary Digimon. He is one of the most powerful Legendary Warrior that we have met and without his Spirits, Kouji is defenseless!' Zoe thought. The more she thought, the more worried she got. She had already texted the rest of the Digi-destined about what had happened and they were all going to rush to Odaiba, especially Kouichi, who was worried sick about Kouji.
Someone put a hand on her shoulder and she turned around to see Miss Kamiya. "Zoe I want you to tell me who you two really are, who that Digimon is and why is he here. Trust me. I was a Digi-destined too and I know both of you are too," Miss Kamiya said in a spit-it-out tone.
Zoe sighed reluctantly. Kouji told her to tell Miss Kamiya about them but Zoe was still reluctant to tell Miss Kamiya. "Fine. We are also Digi-destined and we can turn into Digimon, the six of the ten Legendary Warriors. However, we need things called Spirits which hold the Legendary Warriors inside. Each of us have two Spirits, a Human and Beast Spirit, but none of us have any of them now that we are in the Human World. That Digimon inside is Duskmon and he is the corrupted Warrior of Darkness who was Kouji's brother, Kouichi, before he was purified by Kouji and his best friend, Takuya," Zoe whispered, soft enough that only Miss Kamiya could hear.
Miss Kamiya seemed to understand. "Your Digital World is in trouble. My friends and I are Digi-destined too. Instead of turning into Digimon as what you have told me, we have Digimon partners. My Digimon partner is Gatomon. They were all captured and were brought to your Digital World by an evil Digimon. That was why we were looking for you Legendary Warriors. Anyway, why is Duskmon here?" Miss Kamiya asked.
"He wants to kill Kouji. Kouji is the Warrior of Light and is one of the most powerful among us. Duskmon is the corrupted Warrior of Darkness, the opposite of Light. My guess is that Duskmon wants to get rid of this threat as soon as possible when Kouji does not have his Spirits," Zoe said.
Both of them were quiet for a while. Suddenly, the area where the classroom had been exploded and burned up in flames. The classroom was on the first floor of the shortest building in the school with only three stories. "Kouji!" Zoe shouted and ran towards the fire. Of course, she was not so dumb as to run into the fire but she instead stood as close as she dared to the fire, trying to find Kouji.
Zoe first heard coughing sounds and soon, a human figure was walking out of the almost unrecognisable door of the classroom. "Kouji! What happened?" Zoe almost screamed at Kouji, rushing forward to support her friend.
"He's gone. Too afraid of the Light. My... my arm's hurt," Kouji muttered. Zoe immediately looked at Kouji's arms and realised that he had used his right arm to press his bandana on his left arm.
"Let me see that," Zoe said, now sounding concerned. Duskmon's attacks could be fast and painful. As a human and having so few wounds from Duskmon, Kouji was considered pretty good at dodging attacks. Zoe had supported some of Kouji's weight as they had walked nearer to where the class was. Kouji slowly peeled off his dark blue and grey bandana and the most unsightly gash that Zoe had ever seen was revealed.
Zoe held that part of his arm and Kouji hissed in pain. That gash must have been awfully painful. "Sorry. We have to get you to a hospital or something. It look's like it has to be stitched," Zoe replied. "How pain is it?"
"Very. Just so you know, I lost a lot of blood from that gash. I don't think I can stay conscious for long," Kouji replied weakly.
Miss Kamiya had, quickly, sent the rest of the class to the hall and her students had obediently followed her orders. "Kouji, what happened?" she asked.
"You know those bottles of oil with food colouring in them that we made into lava lamps? We put those at the back of the classroom right? So I stood in front of them and at the last moment dodged, so the bottles of oil blew up the classroom. Sorry," Kouji replied.
"It's fine, as long as you are okay," Miss Kamiya replied. Then she saw Kouji's wound. "Oh my! We have to get you to my friend's house. He's a doctor. You can't go to the hospital because they will ask you where you had gotten that gash and Digimons, are supposed to be kept secret, am I right?" Kouji nodded numbly and while leaning somewhat on Zoe, both of them followed Miss Kamiya to her car.
Miss Kamiya sat in the driver's seat of her car while Kouji and Zoe sat at the back. While Miss Kamiya drove at the fastest speed allowed on the road, Zoe had helped Kouji to use his bandana as a temporary bandage. Kouji was still in a lot of pain, so Zoe tried to soothe him by rubbing his back slowly and telling him that it was okay.
The seconds passed by slowly for both of them. When Miss Kamiya finally reached one of her friend's house, she rang the doorbell. While waiting for her friend to open the door, she whipped out her cell phone to call another person.
"Joe. I found two of the Digi-destined but one of them is hurt. He has a long deep gash on his left arm. Can you come to Izzy's house to help him?" Miss Kamiya asked. A short pause later, Miss Kamiya gave a small 'thanks' before hanging up.
The door to the house soon opened and a man, maybe about his early twenties, walked out and greeted Miss Kamiya. "Kari, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in school?" that man asked. He had red hair that was parted and swept to one side.
Miss Kamiya answered, "Izzy, I've found two out of the six Digi-destined but one of them is quite badly hurt. I have asked Joe to come over to your house to help him. Is that alright?" Without a moment's hesitation, Izzy immediately opened the door of the house wider and the three guests walked in.
"What are you names?" Izzy asked.
Zoe replied for both Kouji and herself, seeing that Kouji did not want to speak, "My name is Zoe Orimoto. He is Kouji Minamoto. We are both students of Miss Kamiya."
"Zoe? Are you going to ask the rest to come here? I don't want Kouichi worrying about me," Kouji asked softly. Zoe's eyes softened at the concern shown by Kouji. One would never had thought that Kouji would be concerned about someone else, but the other Digi-destined knew him too well.
"Yeah I'm gonna tell them that we're here. Don't worry. Everyone is concerned about you and I'm sure Kouichi would be mad if we don't tell him about this," Zoe replied. Izzy's head perked up at the mention of Kouichi's name.
"Wait... so how many of you are Digi-destined?" he asked. Zoe looked at Kouji to seek his approval. After all, Kouji was second-in-command when Takuya was not present. Kouji nodded numbly as he stood a little behind Zoe, wanting her to do the talking.
"There are six of us, Kouji, his brother, Kouichi, our leader, Takuya, JP, Tommy and me. We are called the Legendary Warriors, humans who can turn into Digimon when we have our Spirits," Zoe said. Izzy seemed shock by what Zoe had said. "What?" Zoe said, getting on the defensive. There was nothing wrong with turning into Digimon, right?
"So you are saying, you ARE the Legendary Warriors? We thought that they were your Digimon partners instead! My partner is Tentomon and I thought that all Digi-destined had a Digimon Partner! Prodigious!" Izzy exclaimed like he had found a brand new formula that would make him the second Isaac Newton.
"So you have Digimon that FIGHT for you and get all the damage instead? What kind of partnership is that? We turn into Digimon, get the damage by ourselves and fight them off by ourselves," Kouji muttered darkly. Zoe could tell that Kouji was not comfortable with new people and the pain his arm was giving him made him even more grumpy. At Kouji's words, Izzy and Miss Kamiya looked shocked but decided not to get angry.
Before anyone else could say anything, the door to Izzy's room, which was the nearest to the entrance of the house, was flung open. A male with wavy blue hair walked in. He had a blue vest on, a white collared shirt and white long pants with a belt.
