The Return to the Digital World
Lupine Laser: For the two who favourited my story, thank you for the support. Sorry if I have not been uploading my chapters regularly. Having a mental block for ideas. Anyway, please review! I do not own Digimon.
'Kouji? Why did I hear them call me that before?' I decided to ask her. Before Zoe could answer, the rest woke up. She told me, "Strabimon, we will tell you why after breakfast. For now, just eat the food the Gotsumon have provided us with." I nodded.
Chapter 10: Strabimon's Past Life
STRABIMON'S POV
I only only sit with the help of Kouichi. I was too weak to stand, so I just sat through breakfast. The Gotsumon food was delicious. Strangely, it was full of a lot of data. The humans ate surprisingly more food than me so when I was full, I just sat there and watched them finish their food.
Zoe had told the rest about her conversation with me. The rest nodded and finished their food quickly. When they were finally done, they walked over to where I was sitting and sat down in a circle around me.
Zoe started first, "Er... Strabimon? Will you believe what we are going to say now?"
I shrugged. "I'll see how truthful you are." The rest seemed satisfied before it Takuya started talking.
"Strabimon, before you turned back into a Digi-egg, you were actually a human, just like us, a Digi-destined that saved the world before. Your name was Kouji Minamoto, Kouichi's long-lost twin brother since you were separated at birth. In other words, you are actually not fully Digimon and inside you, Kouji is still there."
Zoe continued by talking about what we did in the Digital World last time, about battling Lucemon, and what they had done so far in their second time here. She told me how I had saved her life by taking an attack that was meant for her. So far, I was listening and starting to believe my ears. It made sense because that would be why I had the headaches when I first saw them.
Next, JP started talking about my personality with Tommy adding a few points about that. I used to be cold on the outside but on the inside was a sacrificial and kind-hearted warrior. I was calculative too, the total opposite of Takuya, who said that he was my best friend. Zoe added that I had a phobia of having friends because I thought that one day, my friends would leave me.
Kouichi talked about my family. He said that he met the rest later because he was unknowingly serving the used-to-be-evil Cherubimon. He was the corrupted Warrior of Darkness, Duskmon and Velgemon. He was purified by me and Takuya. He then introduced our mother, our father and my stepmother into the picture and told me their characters and why I had a stepmother and so on.
Zoe asked, "So, Strabimon... Can we call you Kouji occasionally? It has become a habit."
"Sure, no problem! I actually kind of like it. It has a sort of ring to it," I answered. 'Kouji...' I repeated to myself over and over in my mind. It sounded vaguely familiar. Well of course it would, but even if I did not remember a single thing from my previous human life, I would still remember this name.
Zoe looked like she suddenly remembered something. She rummaged in her pocket and took out two things. One was this navy and black thing that looked like a small hand-held device with a small black screen and two buttons. The other was a piece of dark blue coloured cloth with grey stripes. I remembered them!
Suddenly, the headache came back. "Argh!" I yelled. The others immediately came over to ask me what was wrong. Obviously, I could not answer. I could not even hear Neemon, who I gathered was a rubbish spouter, blabbering about how to help me.
The whole world seemed to spin wildly around me. I was lucky I was not standing if not I would have fallen down immediately. Images of the device and the cloth floated into my mind. I saw that there was this human with long blue hair tied up in a ponytail wearing the cloth around his head. There was another picture of the same human, who again was wearing the cloth and a blue jacket with two yellow stripes running down the sides, holding the device in one hand and his other hand was covered in Fractal codes.
There were no other images after that and the headache started to stop. Zoe asked, "What happened?"
"Headache. A bad one," I answered.
Takuya thought for a while. "Was that why you ran off that day?" I nodded.
I started telling them about the images that always appeared when I had a headache. Bokomon said, "Maybe you get a headache when you see something or someone very familiar and remember things from your previous human life." The rest agreed.
Zoe said, "Strabimon, these were your belongings. This device, as you had called it, is your D-tector. Your D-tector allows you to transform into Lobomon, KendoGarurumon and Beowulfmon. Your other digivolutions, MagnaGarurumon and Susanoomon, would need other Warriors' spirits. The cloth is your favourite bandana. I think you should keep them. They are yours after all."
I took the D-tector and the bandana. I tied the bandana to my right wrist and slotted the small D-tector into my belt. I saw the rest smiling. "What's the smiling all about?" I asked, annoyed.
"Oh it's nothing. It's just that we had to wait for so long for you to hatch," Kouichi said.
Zoe asked curiously, "Aren't all Digimon hatch into In-training Digimon? Why did Strabimon hatch into a Rookie?"
Bokomon scratched his head and flipped open his book. "It seems that this particular Strabimon is to be the only Warrior of light so if he is turned into an In-training Digimon, there is a much higher chance that he will not become a Warrior of light," Bokomon explained.
Lupine Laser: This is it for now. I will think about ideas soon! If you have any interesting ideas about what they could encounter (that is prominent enough) before reaching Ophanimon's castle, I will think about it. Bye!
