CHAPTER 03: Digivolution

KAGURA'S POV

"That was the strangest dream I had yet.. Destined for greatness? Yeah righ-" I started but paused once I sat up and realized I wasn't lying in my sleeping bag. Instead I was sitting on the ground, surrounded by funny-looking trees that took up an odd shape.

"Not again, things keep getting weirder and weirder every day.." I muttered, standing up. I walked slowly, peaking through the huge bushes and saw a quiet river flowing. I spotted strange green creatures that looked like plants with a pink flower on the top of their heads. They were reaching into the water and taking slow sips. What in the world is happening!?

I stepped back and I accidently tripped over something that was behind me. I fell back and landed on my bum and I gasped widely at what I tripped over.

There was a small white creature with long ears and four tiny legs. We stared at each other for awhile without saying a word so I decided to break the silence.

I leaned back, my breath shaky. "Nice... monster..?"

"I'm a digital monster to be exact; digimon for short, but I'd like it if you called me by my real name!" The creature said.

"Okay.. Tokomon." I said softly. I gasped and covered my mouth with my hands in shock. How did I know that thing's name..!? I blinked quickly to see if this was a dream and I even pitched my skin, but for some reason no matter how much I told myself that this was a dream.. Everything felt so real. Could it be?

"Hello Kagura! I've been waiting for you forever, and now that we've reunited I can finally feel the warmth from your hugs!" Tokomon cheered and jumped into my chest. The digimon rubbed it's small head back and forth, it's long ears dropping down on my arms. Despite it's giant sharp teeth and the fact that it was a creature from another world, I felt more calm the more it breathed slowly and calmly against my chest.

Why am I not afraid? I asked myself. Then, I did something I never thought I would do in a million years. I raised my hands slowly and hesitantly and wrapped them around the small digimon. It's skin was soft and smooth, and Tokomon smiled in happiness.

"Toko...mon.." I said slowly. I felt safe around him, and it was like I already knew him perfectly. A small smile tugged in the corner of my lips, and my eyes glowed as I watched him fall asleep in my arms.

Tokomon's ears suddenly shot up into the air and it jumped out of my arms. The digital monster turned it's head here and there, her eyes narrow.

"W-what's wrong?" I asked.

Tokomon and I then heard a ruffling sound coming not too far from where the two of us were standing. Before I could say a word Tokomon toppled on me and the both of us fell back and ended up inside a tree somehow. I was in complete and utter shock how we were able to get inside a tree but Tokomon wrapped her long ears on my mouth so I wouldn't say a word.

I heard loud footsteps coming from outside and a deep, dark voice roaring.

"Any signs of that little brat?" One voice spoke up.

"Nope, but that Tokomon won't be able to move for weeks once I'm done with that brat for biting my hand." Another voice hissed.

"Biting your hand is the weakest attack he could do as an in-training Digimon so you might as well drain all his power at once because you've heard of the legend."

"And it was master Devimon's demands that we eliminate him at once because it's a threat if he digivolves."

"You mean Patamon? Please, you've gotta be kidding."

"I meant what he digivolves after Patamon!"

"I think you're all idiots. Celestial Digimon can't digivolve and since he's one of them he needs his human partner if he wants to do any evolution."

"Ah, I completely forgot. I guess taking over the digital world's going to be easy for the dark lords then since the Seven Legendary Heroes died a thousand years ago." They all erupted into sickening laughs and cackles. The both of us remained quiet and didn't move a muscle until their heated footsteps were so quiet that we weren't able to hear a step.

"They're gone, I don't sense their presence anymore." Tokomon said in relief, removing his long ears from my mouth and dropping slowly on his rear.

I crossed my legs. "Tokomon, do you know what they were talking about? Y'know, about the celestial digimon, dark lords and legendary heroes; well whatever that means." I asked.

"Well you see.. that's why you were brought into this world.." Patamon began slowly. "I guess I should just get straight to the point. I am one of the eight celestial Digimon and you are one of the Legendary Heroes."

KYOKO'S POV

I don't know how long I was out but when I woke up I felt like I've risen from a thousand year sleep. I found myself lying on the smooth sand and I could hear the beach waves hitting the shore. It was weird though because this wasn't the beach that was owned by the camp we were staying at. What made it more bizarre was that there were strange looking crabs walking along the shore.

I threw myself on my feet and stared at the silver crabs. I bent down slowly and reached my hand out to poke it.

"Ever heard of personal space?!" The crab yelped, snapping its silver claws at me.

"This is illogical, since when could crabs talk?!" I exclaimed, slapping myself.

"It's crabmon, you act like you've never been here before. What kind of Digimon are you anyways?" Crabmon said.

I was speechless. I had no idea how to talk to a talking crab and I really needed directions or at least a human being to tell me where am I. Everything felt so real that it couldn't be a dream, but crabs don't talk so I don't know what to think anymore!

"C'mon guys, don't act so hostile around her." Another creature said and appeared in between the giant group of crabs that surrounded me. The creature looked like a seahorse and a dinosaur at the same time, but I don't remember seeing any dinosaur action figures that looked like that.

"A-and you are?" I gulped, managing up the courage to talk to it.

"I'm a Digimon with the name Bukamon, and while I'm introducing me to you, your others friends are being introduced to their celestial digimon as we speak!" Bukamon explained giving me a toothless grin.

"I'm sorry but can you put it in terms I can understand..?" I asked nervously.

"I plan to explain to you the entire story once we're all reunited but if you're that curious... I'm Bukamon and unlike other Digimon I'm a Celestial Digimon who called you here because you're one of the Legendary Heroes!"

"C-celestial Digimon? Legendary HEROES?!" One of the many crabmon's stammered. They all gasped in unison.

"I'm so sorry for messing with you!"

"Please forgive us!" They all drowned me in apologies before running off with their tiny crab feet into the distance.

I stared at my surroundings in shock but took a huge deep breath and exhaled. It calmed me down a bit therefore I looked back at the tiny Digimon staring back at me. "Okay... Bukamon. I have no idea what's going on here, and all this Celestial-legendary-whatever knowledge your telling me is really making my head explode with confusion especially since I didn't read this from my History textbook."

"Well of course not, you're from the human world and where you are right now is the Digital World." Bukamon told me.

My eyes widened. "Digital World? You're basically confirming that humans are not the only lifeforms that experience daily life in this universe..."

Bukamon shrugged his shoulders. "I guess so but when you say it like that you make everything sound so complicated. The Kyoko I knew thousands of years ago never thought this much."

"Well then what did the Kyoko you knew do during times like this?" I sneered.

"Swim!" Bukamon replied. "We called you the Goddess of the Sea because we all thought you looked so beautiful swimming in the ocean, it was an amazing sight to see."

"S-swim..?" I repeated, startled. "I mean I've always loved to swim but I didn't expect me to be some goddess... And besides, I've been alive for sixteen years what do you mean thousands of years ago; I hope you're not calling me old."

Bukamon laughed. "You're still as funny Kyoko." That wasn't supposed to be a joke, or funny at all.

I released a loud groan and dropped my entire body back onto the sand. "This is so weird. First I get surrounded by talking crabs then a sea dragon comes and tells me I'm some hero.. Could this get anymore strange?"

"Kyokooo!" The familiar voices of my friends called from near. I immediately sat up and directed my attention to where the voices were coming from. I ended up shocked and speechless as my entire scavenger hunt group came running after me.. with digimon either in their arms or running side by side.

"You have Digimon too!?" I exclaimed in shock, staring at each and every one of them. I then realized that there was one person missing from the group; Hinata.

"Where's Hinata?" I asked suddenly.

Everyone shared glances and shrugged their shoulders. "I couldn't find him anywhere so when we saw you we thought you'd know where he was." Tanaka explained.

"Well Bukamon," I said, sending the small digimon a glare. "Now that most of us are here, could you please explain what's happening?"

Bukamon nodded and joined the other digimon that came along. "Fine. But we're going to go have to go somewhere more hidden and somewhere that the Dark Lords haven't taken over yet. This place is probably going to be their next target soon."

"I found intruders guys, over here!" A bunch of dark looking digimon that resembled bowling balls with wings called. A huge flock of them began to fly rapidly towards us and I could feel Bukamon tugging at my laces.

"We have to run from the DemiDevimon, they're minions of the Dark Lords!" Bukamon explained and in a swift motion we all sprinted in the opposite direction. We ran up steep hills and rocks went into my shoe which bothered me but as far as I knew, they were the bad guys and I had to get to safety.

"Not so fast!" One of the DemiDevimon that was in the front shouted. "Demi Dart!" A bunch of syringes appeared before him filled with purple toxic and they flew immensely fast at us.

"Look out!" Bukamon called and jumped up on top of me causing us to fall onto the ground. I was panting from running so much and my heart was racing. Bukamon was already up and motioned for me to keep on running.

We all gasped once we reached the edge of a cliff that led down to deadly rapids.

"Oh no... we're done for!" Kai whimpered. The digimon beside him (it looked like a green gummy with a horn on it's head) shook his head vigorously.

"Don't say that Kai!" The small digimon said. "We Digimon never run away in fear!"

"G-gummymon.." Kai said, speechless.

"When our friends are in trouble we fight!" A red digimon that had the shape of the sun with a small flare of fire on top of it and a white digimon with long ears and huge teeth shouted together.

"Sunmon..." Hiro.

"Tokomon.." Kagura.

"We'll protect you with our lives," They all shouted in unison.

"Moonmon.." Minami.

"DemiMeramon.." Tanaka.

"Gummymon.." Kai.

"Bukamon.." I, myself.

Kagura closed her hands with the device we received earlier tightly and raised it up into the air. "I may sound crazy but they're absolutely right! No matter how crazy and unreal this situation sounds, we have no other choice but to fight!"

"K-Kagura.." I stuttered, surprised by her overwhelming determination.

Hiro threw his arm around Kagura's shoulder. "I'm with you 'sis." Hiro smirked and raised his arm in the air as well.

All of us stared at the twins, unable to say anything. Suddenly, their hands that held the devices began to glow extremely bright. Sunmon and Tokomon were suddenly covered in the brightest light and we were all amazed as the two tiny Digimon grew.

"Tokomon digivolve to... Patamon!" Patamon yelped as it's transformation completed. It was slightly larger, with a body that was partly orange and his ears were larger that they looked more like wings.

"Sunmon digivolve to.. Coronamon!" It announced. Instead of simply being a tiny digimon that resembled the sun, it now had a body, head, arms and legs. It resembled a lion but what made it different was that it had small flares of fire coming out of it's forehead and wrists.

"T-they changed!" Kai gasped.

"Air gust!" Patamon roared, lifting it's ear-wings into the air and batting them ferociously. The Devimon were caught up in a huge gust of wind which caused them too look extremely dizzy and lost. "Now Coronamon!"

"I hear yeah. Corona-knuckle!" Coronamon shouted as it appeared quickly in front of of the dizzy DemiDevimon and punched them continuously with it's flamed knuckles.

Most, if not all, of the DemiDevimon crash landed onto the hard rocks and gravel in defeat.

"Amazing!" I said.

"You guys looked so cool!" The twins cheered in unison, Hiro and Kagura running up to their partners and hugging them tightly.

"We're just rookies, you should see us at mega!" Coronamon smirked.

"Y-you're partly right there Coronamon..." One of the DemiDevimon said huskily. It stood up, it's eyes filled with darkness, un-accepting defeat. "You're just rookies.. but you'll never reach mega no matter how many pathetic humans you partner up with."

"No one asked for your opinion!" Patamon growled. "Boom bubble!" He shouted, sucking in air and releasing it in a form of an air bubble.

DemiDevimon suddenly swung itself into the air therefore avoiding Patamon's attack. "You little brats, I'll show you true power!"

No one moved as DemiDevimon completely covered itself in a dark ball and we all gasped in horror as it began to evolve. All of the DemiDevimon surrounding him began to turn into data and covered the one DemiDevimon in darkness completely. "DemiDevimon digivolve to..."

"Stop it!" Minami shrieked in fear. She quickly picked up a rock and threw it at DemiDevimon while it was still digivolving but it's overwhelming power threw everyone off balance.

It's digivolution was complete. It was now extremely large now, with a figure more fearful. It looked like a black devil, with giant torn up wings at it's side. "Devimon!"

"Corona Flame!" Coronamon shouted, firing a giant flame at Devimon. Our hopes that his attack would damage the evil digimon were cut short as Devimon seemed unfazed by the attack.

"That tickled." Devimon laughed evilly. "Death hand!" It roared and a dark beam was released from Devimon's large hands. It directly hit Patamon and Coronamon, the blow causing them to scream in pain.

"Patamon!"

"Coronamon!"

"Kyoko, we have to help them! Let me digivolve!" Bukamon begged, staring at me with two hopeful eyes.

I was hesitate to help because of how terrifying Devimon looked but I then nodded in agreement. "Alright, let's see what you can do." My device began to glow along with Bukamon and I noticed around me that Minami, Tanaka and Kai's devices began to glow along with their digimon as well.

"Bukamon digivolve to... Betamon!"

"Moonmon digivolve to.. Lunamon!"

"Gummymon digivolve to... Terriermon!"

"DemiMeramon digivolve to... Candlemon!"

"Betamon... interesting." I said, astonished at how it digivolved. "Anyways, attack!"

Betamon nodded. "Electric shock!" It shouted and instantly a huge volt shock was fired at Devimon.

"Now Gummy- I mean Terriermon! Let's see how strong we really are!" Kai shouted, smiling proudly. Instead of looking like a small gummy with horns, it now looked like a bunny - except it looked more powerful than the ones on Earth.

"You got it Kai," Terriermon replied and released a ball of energy. "Bunny blast!"

"You too Lunamon! You may look cute but we can be just as powerful as everyone else!" Minami squealed and I smiled, knowing that she was afraid but facing her fears for the sake of everyone's safety.

Lunamon grinned and huge claws grew from her small hands. "Lunar claw!" Lunamon shouted and threw herself at Devimon, scratching him.

"You too Candlemon!" Tanaka joined in. "The oldest has to take responsibility too, eh?"

"This is for Tanaka!" Candlemon shouted and fire energy was released and exploded as it hit Devimon. "Lava Loogie!"

"Y-you guys..." Hiro said, still holding onto an injured Coronamon and staring as all of us fought back to help.

"We're friends aren't we? And friends are there to help no matter what!" I said and smiled at Kagura and Hiro. They both stared at me for a bit but then grinned back.

"How touching; but I'm afraid I have to cut this soap opera short." Devimon laughed and released a huge power of energy at all of us. We all screamed in shock and our Digimon fell back. I then realized that all of the attacks we used didn't leave a single mark on Devimon and he was still at full power.

"How come he isn't hurt at all?!" Minami asked confusingly.

"He's too powerful!" Tanaka replied. "He must be passed the rookie level..."

"-Devimon is at champion that's why!" Lunamon told us. C-champion...

"Does that mean we're powerless against him?" I asked, afraid to hear the answer.

"No!" Kagura roared. She and Patamon stood up and shrieked as they ran towards Devimon despite most of us calling her to stop.

Devimon released another gust of dark energy, but most of us weren't hit by it. Sadly, it critically hit Kagura, Patamon, Hiro and Coronamon. They landed on the ground hard and hissed in pain.

"Kagura!" Minami gasped and the both of us ran over to an injured Kagura's side.

"You're being so reckless, stop it!" I scolded, but Kagura only sat up despite the wounds she received.

"She isn't being reckless, she's only doing what's right!" Hiro defended and stood up with Coronamon. Coronamon released a weak flame and Devimon extinguished it just by squeezing it in the palm of his hands.

"So foolish." Devimon smirked and released another dark wave of energy knocking Hiro and Coronamon back and slightly fazing Kagura out.

"We can't win why do you keep trying?!" Tanaka asked maddeningly, staring at Kagura and Hiro in frustration.

"No... We can win." Candlemon suddenly interrupted. "As long as we believe, we'll never give up. I'm disappointed you forgot all about that because you were the ones who taught us." Candlemon then shined brightly and we watched as most of his energy transferred into the palms of Kagura and Hiro. He fell back in exhausted but as DemiMeramon.

"D-DemiMeramon..." Tanaka said breathlessly, catching him just before he fell back down.

"DemiMeramon is right. I'm going to continue to give it all we got." Bukamon said and Lunamon and Terriermon nodded in agreement. I gaped as all of our partnered digimon transferred all their energy to Kagura and Hiro's hands.

"Darkness will always overpower the light, and unlike fire we can never be extinguished!" Devimon roared, laughing manically.

"Is that so?" Kagura talked back, standing tall. Strong powers of light began to glow all around her, and it looked like all of her energy came back. "Darkness cannot survive without light,, which is why you can never overpower us!" In a swift motion, Kagura transferred all of our Digimon's energy into her digivice and pointed it in Patamon's direction. A huge beam of light shot out of the top of the digivice and hit Patamon directly. Patamon's eyes opened instantly and released a loud roar as he began to digivolve.

"Patamon digivolve to..."

"And who says that you ever extinguished fire? I've been fired from the start." Hiro smirked, standing up as well. He slammed his hand that held onto the energy he received on the top of his digivice and just like Kagura's; grabbed a hold of the energy. Hiro aimed his device towards Coronamon and a huge beam of light hit him. Instantly, Coronamon stood up with his arms in the air and let out a loud roar as he began to digivolve.

"Coronamon digivolve to..."

"Angemon!" What used to be Patamon announced.

"Firamon!" Roared what used to be Coronamon.

"This battle is far from over!" Kagura and Hiro exclaimed in unison.

"A-amazing.." I stuttered in shock.

Bukamon who lied in my arms smiled at me and released a small chuckle. "It looks like they haven't changed a bit despite it being a thousand years. See Kyoko? That's what it means to be a Digi Saver. "

"Digi Saver... Is that who I am?" I asked. Bukamon only smiled back at me like I already knew the answer. But surprisingly after hearing the term 'digi saver' I began to feel right at place. Maybe Bukamon is right.. Digi Saver.. That's who I am.

AUTHORS NOTE

Hm... Even though Angemon and Coronamon seem to be kickin' Devimon's butt out there something doesn't seem right... I wonder if the Digi Savers will find out the whereabouts of Hinata; and soon.

And next chapter will reveal a couple of things so make sure you wait and see!
