Hey guys, me again! Last chapter was exciting, wasn't it? Anyway, sorry it took so long. Writers block! But it's gone now. So yeah, this is the next chapter of our beloved story Digimon: The Crest of Trust that I was a jerk enough to make you weight forever for. xD It's kinda short, but I have a lot planned for the up-coming chapters, so I promise it'll be made up for then! And I'm still working on the website, I've just been a little bit busy lately. Should be up soon. xD
Amber: Oh hey, you're actually writing again?
Matt: Wow I might have a heart attack.
Me: Shut up. Amber, you can have the honor of the disclaimer thingy.
Amber: Yipee. Lunamon810 does not own digimon in any way, shape, or form nor has she ever. Lunamon810 does not own any OC's besides me and Seth. And thanks to Latina Shewolf for the recap-thingy below.
So Amber woke up the next day feeling rather sick, so Davis got her to stay in bed while he went to fix the grasslands. Clary has been feeling rather depressed without her partner, so Seth ended up getting her a video camera to keep her occupied. Amber sang to Clary about understanding how her friend feels. Soon they sang a duet just like they use while at the orphanage. Man those were the good times. Unfortunately it began to rain heavily with thunder and lightning and before you know it a forest fire started. Amber spotted three figures outside caught in the rushing river. Tazzie, Gabumon X, and Renamon. Amber crawled onto a fallen tree and held on her hand grabbing hold of Tazzie who held onto Renamon who held onto Gabumon X. Amber nearly fell in, but thankfully Amber has her brothers and friends to help her. They all got back inside to change into dry clothes, although it looks like the rain didn't do any good to Amber. Yikes! Meanwhile Adriane, Ken, and Demi all woke up in a room finding Arukenimon and Mummymon there. The three refused to believe that more than half of their friends joined the dark side. Even though those three hated the fact that they've been evil before and their friends are now evil, they still joined. Soon Seth made the mention how they have a lot of Digidestines MIA. Turns there may be a familiar friend of Amber and Clary. Bad luck seems to strike when the storm caused a power outage trapping everyone in the room and Amber got even sicker by the second. Before you know it, the room caught on fire. Wizardmon and soon Lucemon began to teleport the digidestines one by one outside. The flames caught most of the room on fire and soon it was no longer safe for Wizardmon and Lucemon to go teleport the others. As upset Amber was, she found this box hidden by the tree. She opened it to find 10 tags. She handed one to Tazzie another to Clary and gave herself one before she pocketed the rest. Not even moments later her tag began to glow. Amber found her crest! Lunamon digivolved all the way to her Ultimate level Crescemon, alright! Crescemon destroyed the wall and lead Davis, Ken, Lunamon, Gabumon, Gabumon X, and Terriermon out of the room and to safety. Many were in tears to see them out alive. *sniffle* Excuse me I got something in my eye. *turns away to blow nose with tissue* What other crazy problems is going to come up? Well we better wait and see at Digimon: The Crest of Trust.
Amber laid curled up on Davis' lap, laying against him, and he was leaning against the tree with his legs stretched out in front of him. Most of them were either staring at the ones they loved, making sure they were okay, or staring at the castle going up in flames in front of them. No one noticed Seth was on the opposite side of the tree, crying harder than he had all day. Not only had he almost lost his sister, his hard-worked-for castle was going up in flames. He was losing everything in one night that it took him a long time to gain.
Adriane and Ken stood in dead silence, just hugging each other, as if if they pulled apart they'd be split up. Adriane almost lost it earlier when she thought she'd lost him. She wasn't letting anything come between them now. Renamon was on high alert next to Clary, determined to stick together. Tazzie stood next to them, slightly crouched next to Gabumon X. Matt and TK were side-by-side a few feet to Amber and Davis' left.
"Kari is out there too..."TK said quietly.
"Kari and Patamon will be okay." Matt promised, as Sora came over and sat next to him, tired of watching the burning building. Izzy had his arm around Mimi, who was still crying. Cody and Yolei flanked to their left, watching the castle burn, wondering if the rain would get rid of the fire anytime soon. Demi had been pacing, but now walked over to Ken and Adriane and patted Adriane on the back. Willis sat with Terriermon and Lopmon, holding the twins close.
"You okay?" Davis asked Amber.
"Mmhmm." Amber said, completely ignoring the fact they both were soaking wet. Nothing mattered to her right now but Davis and her brothers being close by.
"My castle...gone..."Seth said aloud, horror-struck, his voice shaky.
Matt turned his head to stare at him. "Seriously? That's your biggest priority?"
"I worked hard for that castle." Seth said sharply.
Matt stood up, and walked towards Seth. "We almost lost everyone, and you're worried about some building?"
"That building is my home." Seth said, stepping away from the tree so he was only a few feet from Matt.
"And that girl is your sister." Matt said pointing at Amber, who'd raised her head and was staring at them, scared of what was about to happen.
"And your point is?" Seth said.
Matt jumped at Seth, knocking him down. Amber squealed, and gripped Davis tighter. Everyone was watching them now. Seth got on top of Matt and pinned him down. "Whatcha gonna do now, replacement?"
"At least I'm worried about her!" Matt said, and slipped his wrist out from under Seth's hand and punched Seth square in the chest. Amber watched in horror as Seth rolled off him, and Matt stood up and jerked him up, and slammed him against the tree, now pinning him to it. "Unlike you who only cares about his precious little castle!"
"At least I didn't let myself get split up from her in a tornado!" Seth said.
"That wasn't his fault!" Amber cried out, standing up and running over to the two, then trying to push them apart. After they were off each other, still in the heat of the moment, Seth knocked her away and kicked Matt's stomach. Amber shrieked as Matt fell to the ground in pain. She stood up and tried to hold Seth away from Matt while he recovered, but he pushed her back and picked him up by his throat, making it hard for Matt to breath.
"Seth! No! Please, you'll kill him!" Amber begged. Matt slammed his fist into Seth's chest, knocking him back, making him release on Matt's neck. Amber watched in horror as they went back and forth fighting each other, as lightning still flashed around and thunder still rumbled on. Eventually Amber couldn't stand it anymore and she ran in between them, causing her to get punched hard in the top of her back by Matt and hard in the stomach by Seth. Then Seth, not realizing it was her since he was acting so quick, hit her in her left eye. Amber fell over in pain. Matt looked at her gritting his teeth, then head-butted Seth, knocking him over once again, the two landing away from Amber. Davis ran to Amber and picked her up, still conscience but in too much pain to move or speak. He carried her over to the tree and laid her down, then marched over to Seth and Matt, who were standing again. He punched Matt so hard he fell over, and kicked Seth just as hard. Both stared at him.
"Don't you two see what you've done to your sister? She's in pain because you two hit her because she tried to stop you guys, but you wouldn't listen! So she came in between you two and you two didn't even notice!" Davis yelled at them. "This is the last thing she needs! She's sick and she's been through a lot today! The least you two could do is behave yourselves! Your both her older brothers, so act like it!"
Davis was panting he was so mad. He cared so much about Amber, and he figured her brothers should care at least that much. He walked back over to Amber and cradled her in his arms, careful not to touch her where she'd been hit. She was in quiet tears, and felt pretty close to passing out at this point. Davis was still pretty mad at Matt and Seth, who were glaring at each other. Seth went to punch Matt, but Sora was already there and grabbed his fist.
"Take a hint you two!" Sora said. "You've been told exactly what you're doing and you're still fighting! Can't you see it's not doing any good and just making who you're fighting for worse!"
"Shut up and mind your own business!" Seth hissed.
"Hey, leave Sora alone!" Matt snapped.
"Listen, you started this, so if you plan on me finishing it-"
"Why don't you just-"
"Don't interrupt me-"
Davis sat Amber down again and marched over to the two.
"That is enough! How many times to we have to tell you there's something wrong with Amber!" he yelled, so mad his face was going red. "You two are both so ridiculous! Why can't you just shut up and work together to make sure Amber gets better, rather than fighting over stupid stuff!"
Matt and Seth looked at Amber, who laid still, pale, but it was easy to see she was breathing. Matt swallowed and walked over and dropped on his knees next to Amber, who lifted up her head. Her left eye actually looked just bruised, instead of swollen. Tears formed and forced their way down his cheeks. "I'm so sorry."
"It's okay." Amber said gently, pulling Matt into a hug, which he returned. When they were done, Seth stood next to them, staring at them, tears forming in his eyes.
"I-I'm sorry!" he choked out, then ran off. Amber pushed herself up and ran after him, despite Davis and Matt's protests, and they ran after her, but were far behind.
"It's my fault." Seth thought. "If I never came here, she wouldn't be like this. If I hadn't became evil, she wouldn't be so emotionally torn up and stressed. If I had cared more about her than my stupid castle, this wouldn't have happened."
"Seth!" Amber called, starting to catch up. He ran faster, but he slipped. Amber was just in time to catch him before he hit the ground. She pulled him up and held him still, looking into his eyes. "Seth, it's okay. I'm fine."
"No your not! And it's my fault. If I hadn't came here, done this, became evil, you'd be fine. You wouldn't be so sick and upset." he said, crying. Amber felt her heart breaking seeing him crying. She pulled him in tight and hugged him so tight she wasn't sure if he could breath or not. She was crying herself.
"Seth I don't care what you do or what you've done. You're my brother." Amber said. "You shouldn't have to make these choices, and neither should I. But we have to live with it, we all do. We've had to make decisions kids our age should never have to make, heck we just lived through something no one of any age should have to live through. But it's our lives and we need to accept them or we're never going to get anywhere."
Seth was stunned by his sister's words. She was speaking like she was the older one. She shouldn't have to, but she was. Another example to prove her point. He hugged her back as the storm raged around them. when they pulled apart, Matt and Davis had to push them away from each other as lightning struck right where they'd been standing. Amber stared at the flames that split them from Seth and Matt,, and at the flames that were shooting in between them and the other digidestined.
"Davis...how do we get out?" Amber said as they became fully boxed in.
"Don't worry...it'll be fine..." he said, holding her defensively.
"Amber!" Seth yelled hysterically from outside the fire.
"Settle down Seth- she's going to be okay!" Amber heard Matt calming hysterical Seth. She wished the rain would rain harder. She heard Gabumon's muffled voice, and Matt telling him to put the fire out. After he did so, Davis and Amber carefully stepped out, and Amber smiled at Seth.
"I'm okay." she said, her wet bangs swaying in front of her eyes.
Seth looked relieved. "Lets get back to the others before something fatal happens."
The five of them, Davis, Amber, Matt, Seth, and Gabumon walked back to the tree where they all remained. They saw a chariot and bats, which meant someone none of them really wanted to deal with was coming. Adriane's eyes were wide as watched it come." You have got to be kidding me."
"It's okay." Demi said. "He tries anything and I'll murder him."
It landed, and opened. Myotismon walked out, ignoring the forever pouring rain around them. He took a deep breath. "All of you have to come with us, to the back-up castle. Anything you owned that was at this castle has been salvaged."
Everyone looked between each other as two other chariots landed for them.
"Okay, me, Davis, Seth, Matt, Tk, and Clary with our digimon in Myotismon's Chariot." Amber said. "Izzy, Mimi, Adriane, Ken, and Demi, you go in one. Yolei, Cody, Tazzie, Willis, and Sora you go in the last one."
Sora and Matt looked at each other and nodded. "Okay." It was obvious they didn't like being apart from each other right now, but they'd do it anyway.
Everyone got into a carriage, Amber and her group getting in Myotismon's, and tried to keep calm. Seth sat in one corner, Amber next to him, Davis next to her, and Matt, TK, and Clary sat on the row across from them. Myotismon walked in between them and sat down on his throne. They were all still soaking wet, but it matter next to nothing to any of them. All that mattered was the people they loved were in sight, and if they weren't they would be soon. They kept on high guard around Myotismon and his henchmen though.
"Why so tense?" Seth asked Amber, who had her eyes closed. She opened her left eye to look at him.
"What do you think? Think about what we've been through in the past few hours."
"Oh, right." Seth said.
Davis gripped her right hand tightly, as if determined to not let them get split up again. Amber rested her head on his left shoulder. "It's dangerous to get used to things around here, isn't it?"
Davis nodded. "Nothing stays the same around here. Things change all the time."
"Kill me." Amber said face-palming. Soon they arrived at the back-up castle, along with the other chariots. After they did a quick head-count, everyone headed inside, and were escorted to their rooms to dry off and change. Amber came out of her room wearing a sleeveless black shirt with a grey jacket, with jeans and black sneakers. She and Lunamon walked down to the main room as they'd been instructed, and were soon joined by the rest of their friends.
"Feeling any better Amb?" TK asked.
Amber nodded. "Somewhat."
Davis put his arm around her. "Of course you're feeling better, you're not soaking wet anymore."
"Of course." Amber said rolling her eyes. Everyone were standing with their loved one and or best friends.
"Well, dinner should be ready soon." Seth said. "Well, I guess our second dinner...They wanted us to eat again."
"I don't think it's a good idea for us to eat. They may have to mop, if you know what I mean." Amber said.
"I know, they insisted." Seth said shaking his head in a slightly annoyed fashion ."They mean well."
"Aren't you the king? Can't you just tell them none of us feel like eating?" Mimi said.
"I could, but I wouldn't want to be rude." Seth said.
Amber sighed. "You've always been like that, Seth. Honestly, I guess some things never change. Even when you supposedly die and become king."
Seth laughed. "Guess not."
After dinner, most the couples stuck together in their various rooms and discussed the day. Clary laid in her room, watching what she'd recorded of the day. Amber laid down in her bed next to Davis, who put his arm around her and let her fall asleep for the night. Seth came in to check on her with Matt later on.
"Was she okay before she fell asleep?" Seth asked.
Davis nodded.
"Good, maybe she can get a good night rest after today." Matt said.
