So here's chapter two I hope you guys enjoy. Oh and in the last chapter there were some typos that I'd like to clear up. Goamamon is really supposed to be Gomamon sorry that was my bad, I may have a bit of dyslexia so bare with me.
I don't own digimon. ):
Chapter Two: Hearts of Champions
Izzy purposely dropped his book onto the floor successfully waking up the children that had fallen asleep during his tutorial of the digivice. DJ smiled sheepishly at him and put on an attentive face. Izzy shook his head and resumed teaching them the functions of the digivice he now called the D-Power.
"And there you have it a brief introduction to the functions of the D-Power." Izzy said shutting down the projector and flipping on the lights.
"That was brief, we've been here for hours." DJ said stretching his arms above his head. "You clearly need to rethink your definition of the word 'brief' Uncle Izzy."
"Everything I told you is important and it would do you good to remember it all." Izzy said to the whole group not just the Motomiya boy.
"Don't get all worked up Uncle Izzy its just DJ and we all know he has a soccer ball for a brain." Yuki said getting a laugh from the whole group and a disgruntled groan from DJ.
"Alright now that you've had your fun its time that…" Izzy was cut off by the loud wailing sound of an alarm. A woman with long black hair and green eyes ran into the conference room. Izzy put a gentle hand on his wife's shoulder and waited for her to catch her breath before asking, "Ruka what's happening?"
"There's trouble in the Digital World." Ruka answered leading the way out of the conference room.
Silently the children followed the two adults down the hall and into the main computer room. Ruka led them to one of the larger computer screens and hissed at someone to turn of the alarm. When it was quiet she brought up a visual of the Digital World. A trio of digimon was gathered around the entrance of what looked to be a temple; they were fighting a large group of vicious looking dinosaur like digimon.
"Oh no." Izzy said quickly bringing up the Digi-port. "Takumi open the gate."
"What's so important about that location?" Nikko asked before Takumi called out the words that would send them to the Digital World.
"Its where Gennai hid the map to your tags and crests." Izzy said as if the children understood the importance of his words. "The crests are tools that will enable your digimon to reach ultimate level and that map is the only way we'll be able to find them."
"Excuse me but if you knew of the map's location all this time why didn't you get it before now?" Kai asked making a valid point.
"Because only one of you can pick up the map. There is a strong possibility that this could be a trap so be careful and don't let them get the map." Izzy answered stepping aside. "Takumi if you will."
"Digi-port open!"
"Where do we go from here Takumi?" Emi asked her older brother as she looked around at the forest they had landed in.
"I don't know." Takumi replied.
"Hey didn't Izzy say that the D-Power has a map function?" Michi asked holding out his grey D-Power. He fiddled with the buttons trying to remember what Izzy had said about accessing the map function. Finally after several attempts he was able to bring up a holographic image of the area they were in. "Alright so we're here and that over there at the base of the mountain is the temple. Its not that far of a walk, you know if you like walking three miles through the forest while there are evil digimon running around."
"Come on guys we better hurry." Takumi said leading the way toward the temple.
It was no easy task, with all the complaining and thick vegetation in their way, but the DigiDestined made it to the temple. Looking at all of the dinosaur like digimon in guarding the temple entrance Takumi wondered how in the world were they going to get inside. He looked at their digimon and then back at the vicious army of dinosaurs, there was no way they could defeat them when only Agumon could digivolve to champion.
"First thing's first, what are those digimon out there?" Takumi asked Akira.
Taking out her D-Power the red-haired girl easily accessed the Digimon Analyzer function. Reading off of the holographic image she said, "The blue one is called Allomon X, a champion level digimon. It's an Allomon who has been affected by the X-Antibody. The X-Antibody drew out unknown powers, morphed its digi-core and increased its leg strength and speed. Its three attacks are Dino Burst, Dino Flash, and Dynamite Head."
"The black ones with the horns coming our of their heads are called Monochromon X. They're also a champion level digimon with two attacks Volcanic Strike, where they shoot fire balls from their mouths, and Slamming Attack, where they crush their opponents with their horn." Yuki said. She clipped her D-Power back onto her pants and counted the number of Monochromon X in front of them. "Guys we're so screwed."
"No we can do this." DJ said snapping his goggles onto his head.
"How?" Amaya asked the Motomiya boy.
"I have an idea." Takumi said looking up from the hologram coming out of his D-Power. "It's the radar function, it shows us where all of the enemy digimon are located. As you can see they're surrounding the temple." He brought up the map of the area and swiped his finger across it so that they were staring at the back of the temple. "There's another entrance here."
"So what's the plan Taki?" Miku asked looking at the brown haired boy expectantly.
Ignoring his ridiculous childhood nickname Takumi said, "Agumon and I will attack hopefully that will draw all of the digimon to us."
"If not, what do we do then?" Kai asked giving Takumi a challenging stare.
"Have faith Goldilocks." Takumi said smiling at the blond-haired girl he used to play with as a child before she moved away. She rolled her sky blue eyes and turned to her brother. Takumi watched the Ishida siblings converse for a minute before saying, "Lets do this?"
"Hey Taki," DJ said. Takumi turned to the younger boy he considered his best friend. To his surprise DJ took off his goggles and handed them to him. Takumi stared at his friend as if he'd lost his mind, DJ never went anywhere without the goggles his father passed down to him. "Dad says that the leader of the DigiDestined isn't right without a pair of goggles, so take them."
Shaking his head Takumi said, "DJ they belonged to your dad, I can't—"
"They belonged to your dad first." DJ said.
"You sure?" Takumi said. At DJ's nod the older boy took the pair of goggles from the younger boy's hands. In a DJ-like fashion he snapped the goggles onto his head.
"You look just like Uncle Tai does in those pictures mom has." Amaya squealed taking a picture of him with her camera. "Wait 'till he sees this."
"Alright lets get the map." Takumi said looking down at Agumon before looking up at his friends. "You guys head to the back we'll take care of these guys."
"I'm staying here with you." Akira said firmly.
"Me too." Emi said.
"No." Takumi said.
"Someone has to make sure you don't die." Akira said daring Takumi to challenge her.
"Fine but Emi you have to go with them." He said to his sister.
"I'm staying with you." Emi said stubbornly. "You can't make me go Taki."
What was with everybody and calling him 'Taki' again? He looked at Emi and in that moment she reminded him of himself, stubborn and determined to get her way. Dragging a hand through his hair he said, "Fine."
The three of them watched as the rest of the group walked away. Agumon digivolved to Greymon and fired a Nova Blast at the foot of the nearest Allomon X. Luke watched as a group of Allomon X and Monochromon X started toward their direction. Greymon charged at them successfully gaining the attention of every digimon in the immediate vicinity. Akira tugged at his sleeve, he looked at the red-haired girl and she pointed toward the temple. The three digimon they had seen on the computer screen were chained to the walls. Takumi looked at the fight Greymon was locked in, his partner was holding his own against the X-Antibody digimon who were only paying attention to him.
"Here's what we're going to do, we're going to free them." Takumi said hoping that they wouldn't get squashed like bugs when they ran out there. "On my word we're going to book it across the clearing, run like your life depends on it." Emi and Akira nodded. Though he was scared as hell that they wouldn't make it he put on a brave face for his two friends, shook his fears away, and got into a running stance. "Ready go!"
Yuudai had to admire the DigiDestined, they knew they were outmatched but still they carried on. He'd let them think that only the Monochromon X and Allomon X were their only worries, after all he needed them to get to the map. With the map in his possession he'd hunt down the thirteen crests and use their light to free The Master from the Dark World. The power of the crests would be used up and the DigiDestined wouldn't stand a chance against The Master, the world would be his.
"You have to get the map first Yuudai." A scratchy voice hissed in his ear.
"Don't worry I have a plan." Yuudai said to the voice. "I won't let you down Lord Daemon."
"There will be severe consequences if you do Yuudai."
"I know." Yuudai said. Pulling his hood over his head the teenage boy shivered at the thought of those consequences. He wouldn't fail his sister's life was at stake.
"Spiral Twister."
To their surprise the attack broke the lock on the chain. Leomon pulled the chains off of him and used his sword to cut the chains off of Andromon and Ogremon. The three digimon expressed their gratitude toward the DigiDestined and ran off to join Greymon and Kabuterimon in their fight. A stray Monochromon X noticed the three kids and charged toward them. Takumi pulled his sister and Akira behind him and swallowed, Greymon and the others had their hands full. No one would be saving them. Just as he was coming to terms with the fact that he might die a bright white light erupted from behind him.
"Biyomon digivolve to…Birdramon."
"Volcanic Strike!"
"Meteor Wing!"
The two attacks collided, the force in which they hit sent both digimon a couple feet back. Birdramon recovered faster then the Monochromon X and drove it away from the kids. Takumi let out a sigh of relief; they might make it after all.
Yuki, Ryuu, Hana, and the Kido twins assured them that they had everything under control. Their newly digivolved digimon seemed to be faring well against their enemies and when Aquilamon and Stingmon took down an Allomon X DJ followed Nikko into the temple. Once inside the door sealed shut.
"There's no going back." Nikko said taking the lead.
"How are we going to get out of here?" Amaya asked.
"We find the map and get to the entrance." Salamon answered.
"Lets just hope that we left all of the prehistoric digimon out there." DJ said wishing that they had brought a flashlight. "Does the D-Power have a light function because that would come in handy right now?"
"If you didn't spend half of Izzy's tutorial sleeping and drooling all over the table you would know that it does have a light function." Amaya laughed. She took out her D-Power and hit the correct button sequence; a white light shone from the screen.
"Maybe Mr. Izumi should just make DJ a manual." Raiden said.
Amaya laughed at the suggestion. "DJ doesn't read."
"He reads, I saw him read the back of the cereal box this morning." Veemon said making everybody laugh. "What's so funny?"
"I don't think that helped his cause Veemon." Gabumon said.
"I read, just not often." DJ huffed.
Stopping suddenly Kai asked, "Did you hear that?" The others four shook their heads and looked at the blonde like she'd lost her mind. She ignored their worried stares and listened carefully. She heard it again the soft pitter-patter of footsteps. "Footsteps, we're not alone in here."
"I'll go ahead and check it out." Patamon said.
"We should probably turn off the lights." Raiden said. At the arched brows of the older kids he added, "They'll lead them right to us, if we hide in the dark then we still have the element of surprise."
"Kid's right." DJ said ruffling Raiden's hair.
They turned off their lights and pressed themselves against the wall. When Patamon returned he informed them that a digimon named Strikedramon was guarding an ornate looking door. The deduced that the door the digimon was guarding was the door that led to the map. Nikko and Amaya decided that they'd take care of Strikedramon somehow while DJ, Kai, and Raiden would get to the map.
Stepping out into the light Nikko yelled, "Hey Ugly!" The digimon turned around and started toward the blond-haired boy. Well he had wanted its attention and now he had it. Using the athleticism he'd gained from playing years of basketball Nikko ran down a hallway. Amaya followed her brother leaving the others with the task of securing the map.
The man in the hood stepped out of the shadows and grabbed Raiden. "Kai help me!" Raiden screamed.
Kai and DJ stepped forward. With a snap of his fingers the hooded man summoned up a bunch of Gazimon X. The rabbit like digimon held back the digidestined and their digimon. "You'll give me the map if you want the little brat back unharmed." The hooded man said disappearing again; the Gazimon X disappeared with him.
Without waiting for DJ to compose himself Kai shoved the ornate door open. Her blue eyes found the chest in the center of the large room.
"What are you doing?" DJ asked when he caught up to her.
"Getting the map so I can get my brother back!" She yelled frantically searching for a way to open the stupid chest. Raiden was all she had and it was her job to protect him, if anything happened to him she would never forgive herself. "He's just a kid, he shouldn't be doing this."
"Kai we're all kids." DJ said taking hold of her hands to stop her frantic movements. She ripped her hands out of his grip and glared at him. He pointed to the indentation on the chest shaped like their D-Powers. "You're missing the obvious."
She pressed the front of her D-Power to the indentation, the markings on the chest began to glow a vibrant blue color. They heard the clicking sound of a lock and when the light died the lid flew open. Sitting at the bottom of the chest was a blue card.
"That's the map?" DJ asked watching Kai pick it up.
She looked from the card to her D-Power. "DJ I know what we're supposed to do with this."
Takumi watched as their champion level digimon fought, they were all trying to get to the hooded man. He heard the blast first and then saw the angel and cat-like digimon coming out of the temple. His cousins staggered through the rubble and a wave of relief swept through Takumi, they were okay. Slowly he realized that DJ and Kai weren't with them, they were the ones getting the map which meant that they were going to loose the map to the hooded man. Kai was going to give it to him to get Raiden back.
"Howling Blaster!"
"Vee-Laser!"
The two new digimon drew everybody's attention toward them. Kai and DJ ran out of the temple and the hooded man left his perch atop of it, Raiden in hand. He appeared in front of Kai and DJ.
"Give me the map." He told Kai.
"Let Raiden go." Kai said firmly.
"First the map then your brother."
To Takumi's horror Kai handed over what he presumed to be the map. True to his word the hooded man let Raiden go. All of the X-Antibody digimon disappeared with the hooded man. The group rushed toward Kai and DJ all yelling about how they'd just given away something important.
"How could you do that?" Takumi said.
"Chill Taki we'll explain when we get back to Izzy's." DJ said.
Back at Izzy's Takumi stared dumbstruck at the map in front of them. He didn't understand how they'd gotten the map if he saw Kai give something to the hooded man. Izzy downloaded the map to each of their D-Powers and congratulated them on getting it.
"But how?" Takumi asked.
"The map was a card and once we slid it through the reader it downloaded the map to our D-Power." Kai answered. "I gave the man the card but I don't know if he'll be able to access it without a D-Power."
"He won't." Izzy said looking at the map on the big screen. "Tomorrow we'll get started looking for the crests but for now go home and get some rest you guys had a tough day."
To be continued…
Please review. It'll make me happy and give you guys another chapter.
