The Return to the Digital World

Lupine Laser: Review! I do not own Digimon. Thank you, koujiluvr for the encouragement!

"Time for me to end your life, Warrior of Light," Gulfmon smirked as he came closer to me yet.

Chapter 15: A Gift of Life

STRABIMON'S POV

You might think that I am a scaredy cat. But, when you are facing a big and dangerous Digimon that is more than thirty times you size, you will get what I mean. He laughed evilly as he came closer. I was shivering non stop because of fear.

"Strabimon, RUN!" Takuya managed to shout. No use. I could not manage to get my legs to run.

By then, Gulfmon was towering over me. "Be prepared to die! Black Requiem!" With that, the dark energy that was fired from his second mouth hit me with such immense force that I was thrown into the wall surrounding the court yard. My head hit a very hard brick and the wall collapsed around me, covering me in wounds and dirt.

NORMAL POV

Strabimon was thrown back into the wall and it collapsed onto him. Everyone gasped. They were sure that Strabimon could not survive that blow. He was just a rookie! No one could get up. How were they supposed to help Strabimon? Gulfmon was very close to Strabimon and was planning his attack.

Just then, the pile of rubble that covered Strabimon glowed with a bright white light. Everyone covered their eyes with their arms to block out the blinding light.

STRABIMON'S POV

My head hurt real bad. The impact must have broken my skull. Then, there was a massive headache. I wanted to scream out in pain but I could not talk. Trying my best to keep myself sane, I focused on what images appeared in my mind. This time, it was not images.

This time, it was my whole life as a human. There were no images. Just this blow of memories. It is very hard to describe, but in a second, I knew who I was- Kouji Minamoto. My whole body glowed with light as my body transformed from Strabimon into Kouji. The transformation was quite fast, the retracting of my claws, retraction of my fur, change of clothes, transformation from a wolf into a human. Then, I stopped glowing.

I was still badly hurt. I could feel the wounds on my body. 'What can I do? Gulfmon is going to finish me!' I thought urgently.

I heard Gulfmon growl, "Nice trick, Warrior of Light, but a mere shine of light would do nothing to harm me." I would have been scared to death, but there was someone backing me up, this weird feeling.

Time must have stopped because I was suddenly thrown into a field of bright light. The weird thing was, I did not need to squint. In front of me was my two spirits, Lobomon, KendoGarurumon and Beowulfmon, all in a physical form. "Where am I? What are you three doing here? Why am I here?" I asked them.

Lobomon smiled and answered, "Look behind you, Kouji." I spun around. There, standing right in front of me was a Digimon like none I have ever seen. It was a clearly a fusion of Lobomon, KendoGarurumon and Beowulfmon. However, my fusion spirit was already Beowulfmon. Who is this Digimon? This Digimon had red eyes, KendoGarurumon's claws and wheels on its two shoulders, the body of Lobomon and double swords that looked similar to Beowulfmon's.

I looked at the Digimon. "Who are you?" I asked.

"I am AncientGarurumon. I am pleased to meet you, Kouji Minamoto. I am giving myself as a gift to you in this treacherous time. Use my powers and my body well. I have my trust in you, Warrior of Light. Be strong and trust in yourself," AncientGarurumon said.

I was shocked. "I... I thought you and the other Ancient Warriors were gone! How are you here?"

"You were destined to be a very powerful Warrior. With your strength, I was able to create this field of light so that I can give my powers to you," the Ancient Warrior of Light answered. There was silence for a while.

"Kouji, are you ready to fight Gulfmon? We're all ready," KendoGarurumon said from behind. I nodded and took out my navy and black D-tector, which was in my pants pocket.

NORMAL POV

The rest could only stare in horror. Gulfmon sneered, "Black Re-"

He was cut off my another brilliant burst of light. This time, Gulfmon seemed to be in pain from the light while the rest of the group did not feel anything but a feeling of hope.

KOUJI'S POV

"Execute! Ancient Evolution!" I shouted as my left hand was covered with more Fractal Codes than when I Beast Spirit Evolved. I swiped my left hand against my D-tector that was held in my right hand.

I felt Lobomon and KendoGarurumon's spirits combine and then fuse with Beowulfmon's. The power they had combined was much more than I expected. Then, the three fused spirits merged with me. That feeling was extreme. All the power I felt rushed through my veins. I felt that no Digimon could defeat me but I managed to calm my ego.

My body, along with the other three spirits who had merged with me, transformed into another Digimon. I grew much bigger, about two times the size of Gulfmon. If you thought that Gulfmon was big, I was bigger. And stronger.

I was covered in Fractal Codes as I became AncientGarurumon. When I was finished, I heard everyone gasp. They must be wondering where Strabimon went. I did not have time to bother about that. In my mind, there were four different thoughts. Lobomon, KendoGarurumon, Beowulfmon and me. We all wanted to finish off Gulfmon who had injured me and my friends.
