The Return to the Digital World
Lupine Laser: I really appreciate all those who had given me reviews and encouragement because this is my first fanfiction! Thank you all for reading my story too. I do not own Digimon.
Shinya stuttered, "Er... Ok. N... Nice to m... meet you too." Zoe led everyone into a carriage. Now, all ten of the Digi-destined were present to go back to the Digital World. When everyone was inside the carriage, Worm moved out of the station.
Chapter 22: Trouble at Flame Terminal
NORMAL POV
Along the way to the Flame Terminal, the original six continued to explain things to the other four about the Digital World. They also told them the dangers and who their new enemy was: Lilithmon. In other words, this mission would be a dangerous one. Yutaka did not want Tommy to get hurt but Tommy said he was more than just defenceless.
Aimi was jabbering about her clothes being dirty or torn, worst still, but Kouichi and Zoe was comforting her, saying that she could get another set back at the human world. Masaki was being very quiet so JP went over to talk to him and to assure him that everything would be fine.
Shinya was talking to his brother very cheerfully about what they can do in the Digital World. Among the four newcomers, Shinya had accepted the news best. Yutaka and Tommy were sitting near Shinya and Tommy. Just then, Yutaka spotted Kouji who was sitting alone at the far end of the carriage and was looking at some kind of black and blue device.
"I seriously wonder, how in the world do you stand that Kouji? I mean, he is such a jerk and you are best friends with him, Takuya!" Yutaka whispered, soft enough so that only Tommy and Takuya could hear.
Takuya said, "Well, that was exactly what we thought at first when we met him. You see, he was on a different Trailmon and arrived at the Flame Terminal later than us. He was meant to wield the Spirits of Light. When he got there, he searched for his Spirits, leading him to an underground cave. JP and Tommy had actually stumbled in there too and were attacked by a bunch of Digimon. Kouji saw that and actually came forward to defeat those Digimon."
"Yeah, Yutaka. Once you get to know Kouji more, you'll like him! You can ask the rest too," Tommy said.
Takuya remembered the times when Kouji had been so selfless as to block an attack that was meant for someone else and said, "You know, Kouji is actually one of the most selfless person in this group. There was once when I was almost going to be killed but Kouji jumped in front and intercepted the attack so that he was hurt instead of me. He almost died too. Kouji is the kind of people you would want watching your back."
Tommy piped up, "Yeah. In this adventure, he even saved Zoe's life but this time, it was so bad that he turned into a Digi-egg. He was a Digi-egg for twenty whole days and when he hatched, he became a Digimon instead and lost all his memories of us. Then, when we were all in trouble and hurt, the Digimon that wanted to defeat him knocked him into a wall and then he became this awesomely huge Digimon!"
Yutaka thought, 'Wow. I didn't know he would actually do that for his friends.' He asked, "Next time, when we have time, can you tell us your story in detail? Like don't just say 'Digimon'. Add in more details." Takuya agreed.
KOUJI'S POV
'They are all out to get me. Lilithmon and the others. What can I do to stop them?' I thought as I looked at the screen of my D-tector. I sat at the far end of the carriage and hoped that no one was paying attention to me. The screen of my D-tector was a picture of Lobomon, my first Spirit. He looked determined and in my head, I heard him tell me that we would get through this together. I nodded and looked out of the window.
Surprisingly, we were still in a tunnel that looked like the walls were made out of mist that was red and black. I knew that at some point, there would be a bump where it signified that we were in the Digital World. I gripped onto the seat and waited for the bump.
Suddenly, the whole carriage jerked and everyone fell off the seats except for me. I looked at the four newcomers to see what Spirits they were meant to wield. Masaki: Arbormon. Shinya: Grumblemon. Yutaka: Mercurymon. Aimi: Ranamon. I laughed in my mind that my fashion-loving distant cousin was Ranamon. It suited her perfectly.
Just then, Yutaka, Shinya, Masaki and Aimi's pocket glowed. They took the items out. They were their phones. They were glowing very brightly and they transformed shape. They became D-tectors. Yutaka's D-tector was dull green and red. Shinya's D-tector was brown, the colour of soil, and violet. Masaki's D-tector was light brown and bright orange. Aimi's D-tector was cobalt and turquoise. All four of them stared in wonder at their new devices. Then, they glowed once more and their D-tector screen lit up, showing their respective element of their Spirits.
"No fair! We had to find our own Spirits! Why do they get their Spirits straight away?" JP whined. While they were marvelling their D-tectors, the others started explaining the different functions of the D-tector.
I looked out and saw the breathtaking scenery of the Digital World. Lots of Poyomon, or flying marshmallows as JP had put it last time, were flying. The rest seemed to have noticed it and were looking out of the window too. Aimi started screaming that they were flying ghost but Zoe calmed her down.
I examined the Poyomon closely. They were not the cheerful Poyomon that we had seen last time. They were... worried. I looked towards Flame Terminal. Oh no. The terminal was half burning in flames. I saw some black figures flying above it.
"Takuya!" I shouted. "The Flame Terminal is on fire! We have to help!" Takuya nodded.
"Kouji, how many enemies are there?" Takuya asked.
I counted the number of black figures. Uh oh. This was bad. A dozen. "There's at least twelve of them. Use Unified Spirit Evolution?" I asked. He nodded. Kouichi, Zoe, Tommy and JP gave their Spirits to either me or Takuya. The rest instructed the new ones what to do. When they were done, I had the Spirits of Light, Darkness, Thunder, Water and Steel. Takuya had the Spirits of Fire, Ice, Wind, Earth and Wood.
Now, we were ready to fight.
