"Golden Radiance"
All right, here is a chapter that isn't an episode, but is still part of the plot. Hope you guys like it. Please enjoy and review. By the way, song in it isn't mine. It belongs to Paul Gordon and the Digimon franchise.
OK, so Tai and MetalGreymon had just disappeared and the rest of us have been traveling for a few days now trying to find them, but we didn't have much luck.
Soon enough, we all started splitting up, going off in our own ways, me going with Sora, our digimon keeping close to us as we traveled.
All of us were quiet as we walked on, that sick feeling of being separated from my brother still there.
Sora and Biyomon made a fire while V-Mon and I made fishing poles and went fishing, even though I wouldn't really be eating.
"Dai, are you OK?" my dragon asked.
I looked at him knowing my eyes were probably dead looking from how depressed and sick I was nauseous I was feeling, but I still managed a smile for him.
"Yeah, I just…I'm really worried about my brother. I mean…we don't even know where he's gone or what happened to him." I said.
"But he has Agumon to look out for him. Where ever they are, I'm sure they're safe." He said.
I smiled knowing he was right, I didn't have to worry so much about them.
I leaned over and hugged him, the dragon returning it.
"Thanks, V. I'm happy that you're my friend." I said.
"Me too." He said.
"Aw!" a voice that sounded like Biyomon cooed making us pull away to see the pink bird and Sora standing there smiling at us.
"I'm happy to see you two are broken out of your bad mood, but you should really focus on getting the fish." The orange haired girl said.
"Right!" we said.
Later on we had the fish caught and cooked, then finished them off before we settled in for the night.
I needed to stop worrying myself sick about the others.
They were all strong and could take care of themselves.
I just had to believe in them and I know they'll make it and all 16 of us will meet up again sooner or later to continue our journey to defeat whoever else is after us.
The next morning, the four of us were walking again, looking for the others as we went.
"This is really quiet." Biyomon said suddenly.
"Yeah it is. I guess without all the others it is pretty quiet." Sora said.
"It doesn't have to be so quiet." V-Mon said with a smile as he hopped around us.
"What are ya talking about, V-Mon?" I asked watching him go as I pulled my hair up into a ponytail with my ascot, my bangs not getting in my face anymore now that I parted my hair to the right of my face so it was easier to tuck behind my ears and it would be much of a problem.
"We could sing." The dragon said.
"Sounds great, but what?" the orange haired girl asked.
"Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Monster friends to the boys and girls
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Champions of the digital world
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Ultimate friends to the boys and girls
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Champions of the digital world." V-Mon sang as us girls lisntened.
"Eight young kids go to camp for the summer
Wind up livin' in the digital land
Where everybody gets to meet his own Digimonster
A digital companion a digital friend.
A Digimon in training will Digivolve to Rookie
And Digivolve to champion and ultimate too.
I'm gonna save the digital world for me
I'm gonna save the digital world for you."
Us girl laughed as we decided to join in on the chorus sine that was the only part we knew.
"Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Monster friends to the boys and girls
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Champions of the digital world
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Ultimate friends to the boys and girls
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Champions of the digital world." All four of us sang.
"The Digiworld is safe in the Digimon's hands
What the Rookie can't do the Champion can
When a Digimon fights then the Digimon wins
The Digimon is gonna find the strength within
A Digimon is always gonna be your friend
A Digimon is gonna be there until the end.
And everybody knows when things go wrong
That's when the Digimon gonna get strong." V-Mon sang.
"Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Monster friends to the boys and girls
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Champions of the digital world
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Ultimate friends to the boys and girls
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Champions of the digital world.
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Monster friends to the boys and girls
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Champions of the digital world
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Ultimate friends to the boys and girls
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Champions of the digital world!" we all finished laughing at the end.
"That was amazing, V-Mon. where did you hear that song?" Sora asked.
"Well, I sorta made it up." He said blushing.
"No way. That's so cool!" I gushed throwing my arms around him as the girls laughed at us.
All of a sudden, I felt a tingling sensation on my chest, so I pulled away from V-Mon, making him, Sora and Biyomon look at me curiously.
"What's wrong, Dai?" the older girl asked.
"I don't know." I said as I reached into my shirt looking for whatever was causing that feeling and pulled out my Tag and gasped when I saw it was glowing a golden color.
"The Tag!" it's glowing." Biyomon gasped.
"That must mean your Crest is close by." Sora said.
"Yay! My Crest I finally get my Crest!" I cheered jumping around and V-Mon did the same.
"Let's go find it." V-Mon said.
"Yeah." I said as I held out my Tag by the cord that tied around my neck, the pendant swinging back and forth until it stopped in a direction and lifted to show which way to go.
"This way." I said running ahead, the other three chasing after me.
My Tag kept swinging in the direction where the Crest was and I was getting more excited as I got closer to it, knowing I was by the way the golden light got stronger.
"We're almost there." V-Mon said as he ran at my side.
"I can't wait to see it. What do you think my Crest is?" I asked excited.
"We'll soon find out." Sora panted.
We kept running, but were cut off when a black blue appeared in front of us, making us stop and gasp as someone we didn't want to see stood before us.
"Kaitoumon!" Biyomon gasped.
"Seriously? Don't cha get tired of losing?" V-Mon asked with a glare and crossed arms.
Kaitoumon scoffed with a smirk.
"Believe me, you won't be wining this round." He said.
Sora and Biyomon stepped in front us, making V-Mon and I looked at them in surprise.
"Dai, go find your crest. We'll hold him off." The orange haired girl said.
"But Sora, he's our enemy." I said not wanting her to finish this battle that was so personal.
"We can hold him off for you until you get the crest. Please go and don't worry about us." Biyomon encouraged.
I bit my bottom lip as V-Mon and I shared a look, then we both nodded.
"Sorry, but my fight is with them, child of Love. Stand down." Kaitoumon said.
"Child of Love?" Sora asked as she clutched her Crest that was gem and had a heart on it.
"Yes, I can tell. There is one more Crest to be found since Myotismon has the other." Kaitoumon said.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
Another Crest other than mine?
Myotismon?
What the heck is up with this?
"Biyomon, go for it!" Sora cried.
"Biyomon digivolve too…BIRDRAMON!"
The large red bird tackled the man with dragon wings to the ground as V-Mon and I took off in the direction of where my Crest was hidden.
Sora, Birdramon.
Be safe both of you, I believe you two can handle it and protect yourselves, but Kaitoumon's a strong guy and I wouldn't forgive myself if you got hurt.
My Tag glowed brighter as we ran and soon enough we were led to a cave that we walked into, my Tag giving us all the light we needed as we went.
There were these glittering things lodged in the stone walls.
"What's this stuff?" V-Mon aksed as he touched it.
I walked over and looked closely at it and stared in wonder.
"It's gold. This is like a…gold mine. How cool." I said admiring the way the gold sparkled from the light coming off of my Tag.
"What's gold?" my blue dragon asked with a confused look.
"Gold is something in my world that's very valu…valu…" I stuttered trying to get the word right.
"Valuable." A male voice said.
"That's it." I said with a smile, then froze.
"V, please tell me that was you just throwing your voice." I half begged.
He shook his head as he started at whatever was behind me.
I slowly turned and saw a tall creature that looked like an older version of V-Mon, only he was wearing gold armour that covered his arms, legs, chest and face.
"Hi." I said with a small wave.
He red eyes looked down on us and widened when he saw my Tag.
"You…you're a Digidestind, aren,t you?" he asked.
"Yeah. I'm Daisuke and this is V-Mon. who are you?" I asked.
"I am Magnamon. I'm the keeper of this cave. Why are you two here?" he asked.
You know, now that I take a good look at him, he actually seems like a great guy and his eyes were filled with kindness.
"We were looking for Dai's Crest. Her Tag was glowing and it led us here." V-Mon explained.
"The Crest, eh?" Magnamon asked rubbing his chin in thought.
"I may have what you want." He said.
"Follow me." He said holding out his hand to me.
I smiled as I took it, taking my dragon's hand with the other hand.
"How long have you been down here, Magnamon? Last time I checked, you're one of the Royal Knights." V-Mon said.
"I was asked to look after this particular Crest because it is a very special one." Magnamon said.
"Special? My Crest is special?" I asked getting excited.
"Well, there are three crests that are special. All of them are, but three more so than the others." Our new friend explained.
Yes, I am labeling him as our friend now.
I trust him completely.
Unlike my brother, I actually can tell a good digimon from a bad one.
"One of them is Hope, the other is Light and finally…" he trailed off as we came into a room that had a small bit of light shining down on a wooden box.
He let go of my hand and motioned me forward.
I nodded feeling nervous and excited all at the same time as I walked over to the box that was sitting on a pedestal that was made of marble.
I reached out and took the box, opening it up only for a bright gold light to shine through the room as a Crest rose up.
It had an M shaped symbol on it with two tear drops on it and two triangles at the ends and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my entire life.
"That my dear…" Magnamon said as the crest slid into place in my Tag as it stopped glowing.
"Is the Crest of Miracles." He said.
"Miracles?" I asked holding it between my hands.
"Wow, that is special." V-Mon said.
"Miracles can allow just about anything to happen as long as you never give up hope, stay faithful and never let fear rule you. You must be determined and strong to handle its power." Magnamon said.
"I don't know if I really deserve something so important. I mean, I'm not really special." I said.
"Humility is also something its bearer should have." Magnamon said with what I assumed was a smile.
I smiled back as I looked back down at my crest feeling blessed to have it, to have V-Mon, my parents, my siblings and my friends…
I felt my eyes widen.
Oh my god.
"Sora!" I said running to the exit, V-Mon close behind me.
I almost forgot about her and Birdramon fighting off Kaitoumon.
"V-Mon, can you digivolve?" I asked.
"Yeah." He said.
"V-Mon digivolve too…XV-MON!"
The dragon picked me up and flew off to where our friends were, the red bird lying on the ground looking beaten up as Sora hovered over her with a worried look as Kaitoumon smirked at them.
"Hang on, Daisuke." XV-Mon said as he placed me between his shoulder blades and I clung to the back of his neck as he swooped in and fired off a V Laser at the dragon winged male's back.
Kaitoumon cried out in pain, then turned around to glare at us.
"Dai." Sora said with a smile as Birdramon returned to her Rookie form.
"So, decided to come face me at last? Then let's go." Kaitoumon said as his clawed sword sparked with violet light.
"Daisuke, I want you to get down and run to Sora now." XV-Mon said to me.
"OK. Beat this sucker down." I said as I climbed off and ran to the orange haired girl who was holding her pink bird.
As soon as I was by them, XV-Mon and Kaitoumon were wrestling in the skies, blasting each other with their powers, gold and violet lights filling the area as we had to duck down to avoid the hit from the branches that fell down around us and debris that flew up in the air when one of the attacks landed there.
"Why is Kaitoumon after you?" Sora yelled over the noise.
"I don't know. He just found us and started attacking us, saying something about V-Mon being a noble race of digimon acting as a pet for a human and then he went off on how he was supposed to kill the Digidestinds. I think he just has issues." I said.
"Don't they all." She said as we covered our heads as debris flew up from the violet sparks of Kaitoumon's attack that nearly hit us.
I heard XV-Mon cry out and then shot up to see that Kaitoumon had stabbed him with his claw like sword in his chest and I felt my blood run cold.
"XV-MON!" I yelled as I stood up and ran over to where he was falling.
The ground shook when he hit the ground and I threw myself on him, tears in my eyes as I gently touched his wound.
"V?" I sobbed as Sora and Biyomon came over, both looking worn out.
My dragon didn't answer me as his breathing was labored and his eyes were clenched shut.
"XV-Mon? Please, answer me. You can't leave me." I gasped out as tears fell from my eyes.
"Why do you care for him?" Kaitoumon aksed making me look back at him.
"You just don't get it, do you?" I asked.
"XV-Mon is my best friend. He's almost like my brother. I love him." I said as tears continued to fall.
Kaitoumon's one gold eye grew wide in shock as some new emotion swelled inside of it.
My Crest started to glow and I looked down at my dragon to see that his wound was quickly healing from the golden light.
The light also touched Biyomon, making her perk up and jump out of Sora's arms.
"B?" she asked.
"I feel much better now." The bird said with a smile.
XV-Mon groaned as he sat up, scratching his head.
"I guess that's the power of Miracles, eh?" he asked with a smile.
I laughed as I hugged him, seeing Kaitoumon from the corner of my eyes fly off.
And Matt says I'm bipolar?
Yeah, that's right; I now know what that word means.
I asked Joe this time so I didn't get a long lecture like I would with Izzy.
"Looks like we have more problems to deal with. Like who this Myotismon guy is." Sora said.
"We'll figure it out soon enough. Don't worry, Sora." Biyomon chirped.
I smiled at my friends, happy that I now had my Crest, wondering what sort of powers it has and what XV-Mon will digivolve into.
Would he look anything like Magnamon?
Whatever he looks like, it won't change the way I feel about him.
Soon enough we'll be with the others and we'll all defeat whoever this Myotismon guy is.
