The Warrior of Hope
Chapter 2

The train pulled into the station. I started walking towards the exit, when my strange device started to talk. In a woman's voice it said, "Jade Gallagher, this is your D-Tector, you will use it to find the spirit." "What spirit? Why do I have to look for it? Can't goggle-head take care of this while I just relax?" "Only you can find your own spirit and once you find it your questions will be answered." My D-Tector displayed a little map and I assumed that I had to walk towards the dot.

Koji had just gotten finished with his own talk with his D-Tector and he didn't look happy. I looked down at the map on his screen and saw that his went a different way than mine. "Well, I guess this is where we part." Koji looked surprised that I would come to that conclusion. I pointed to my screen to show him that I had to go a different way from here. "Okay, I guess I'll see you around then." His voice sounded a little sad. "Aw, don't worry Koji; I'm sure that your emotions could have a break after all of the work I've put them through." I smirked at his frowning face and started to walk out of the station, only to run into a couple of boys and knock them to the ground.

"Ouch! Could you look where you're going?" A boy in a blue and yellow jumpsuit asked. I looked down and saw I was crushing the poor kid who had been walking next to the other boy. I quickly got up and helped them up while taking the time to get a good look at them. The boy in the jumpsuit had dark blue eyes and brown hair. His blue and yellow shoes had a little dirt on them, probably from me. The boy next to him was only a kid. He had a giant yellow hat that almost completely covered his light brown hair. His green eyes were looking curiously into mine. He was wearing a white tee-shirt and yellow pants with orange suspenders. His shoes were green and white, just like the D-Tector he held in his hand.

"I am so sorry that I ran into you guys. By the way, my name is Jade, Jade Gallagher." I smiled at them to show that I was sincere. "I'm Tommy Himi." The kid with the D-Tector said. "My name is J.P. Shibayama." The older boy said. I turned to Tommy, "So, are you supposed to be looking for a spirit too?" I gestured down to his D-Tector. "Looking for a spirit? Oh, you mean to turn into a Digimon like Takuya did." I shrugged, "Sure, if that's what you want to call it." "Listen," J.P. interrupted, "we have to go, if you want to talk about Digimon, go see Takuya and Zoe, we are going home." With that he took Tommy's hand and led him to the train and then proceeded to try to get the train to take him home for some chocolate. When the train took off without them I couldn't help but laugh. J.P. glared at me, but before he could do anything we were surrounded by little creatures that were just heads, no bodied, no feet, just heads. The little guys told J.P. that they wanted more chocolate. J.P. denied them and told them to go away. They started yelling that they wanted chocolate and attacked us. They were biting us and there were so many of them that I knew we had to run. I grabbed Tommy's hand and ran across the tracks, helping Tommy so that he didn't trip.

We left the train station and passed through the village making all of the little ghost-like Digimon hide. We finally passed the last of the buildings and headed over a bridge that led to the forest. They were starting to catch up to us, so we zigzagged through the trees and eventually we lost them, so we hid under a ledge. Tommy started messing with his D-Tector. "Come on, I know that you can make me digivolve, so just do it!" He was yelling at his D-Tector pretty loudly, so J.P. tried to hush him, but as he was turned around, I saw that the little Digimon had found us. "Run!" I said. We started to run, but the earth cracked beneath us and we fell down into a hole in the earth.

We were sitting in a flower patch underground. I checked myself for bruises and found that I was fine. "Hey kiddo, you okay?" J.P. asked Tommy. "Yeah I'm fine, Jade are you okay?" I smiled at him, "Never better." "Okay, then we'd better get moving." J.P. said, obviously trying to be the leader. I helped Tommy up and started walking through the maze of pipes that was around us. I noticed that Tommy had started marking pipes when we passed them. Wow, this kid is really smart. I would have never thought of that. I sighed, outsmarted by a fourth grader. J.P. suddenly stopped, picked up some leaves, and dropped them to see which way the wind was blowing. "The wind is blowing this way, so if we keep going this way, then we will find our way out." "Are you sure?" Tommy asked. "Yeah, why do you ask?" "I made this x on this pipe when we came here before." "Well, it looks like we were just headed in circles." I sighed; maybe I should have just gone with Koji. Tommy started crying so J.P. offered us both candy bars. "Well, at least we won't starve." He said. Tommy nodded his head in agreement. Then the little Digimon that were chasing us before suddenly attacked again and we were forced to run, but not before J.P. threw some chocolate bars at them.

We ran through the pipes into a big room with a hole in the middle of the floor. J.P. and Tommy were screaming for help, but I was trying to conserve my energy. I suddenly felt teeth on my skin and I knew that we couldn't run anymore I started hitting them away, but could tell that I was getting nowhere. My energy was quickly deteriorating, and just when I was about to collapse, I saw Koji. He slid down a pipe, yelling the whole way down. The Digimon were startled, but then they went to attack Koji. He broke the metal pipe that he used to get down and used it as a weapon. It was amazing, he attacked and it was totally ninja, as my friends and I usually say. He finally beat back the last of them when they all converged around him and just when I thought that he had won, the leader of the Digimon changed into a sludge monster.

I backed away towards where we came in so that I wouldn't get in the way. The new Digimon was called Raremon, according to my D-Tector. Koji started to attack it, but it spit acid sludge at Tommy and J.P., who were gawking at Raremon. Koji picked Tommy up and saved him from the sludge, but the floor now had dozens of holes where Raremon's attack had hit. Koji was darting around the room, trying to keep Tommy safe when goggle-head and a girl walked in. I finally took the time to actually look at what goggle-head was wearing. He had a green hat on under his goggles that covered up his brown hair. He was wearing a red, short-sleeved jacket over a yellow tee-shirt with a black logo that I didn't recognize. He had on green gloves that matched his hat, cargo pants, and red and orange shoes. His brown eyes were so focused on his D-Tector that he didn't even see me looking at him.

The girl that had come in with him had a purple hat with little ears sticking up. Her blonde hair brought out the light purple in her eyes. She was wearing a purple vest over a blue and white striped shirt. Her just-above-the-knee length purple skirt matched her vest and hat. She had dark purple knee length socks and white and purple shoes. She saw me looking at her, but she quickly went back to yelling at goggle-head, who she called Takuya, to hurry up and digivolve already.

Koji was slowly being backed towards the giant hole in the middle of the room by Raremon, but all Takuya could do was yell at his D-Tector. I grabbed Koji's discarded pipe and rushed at Raremon, ready to fight to protect my friends. I brought the pipe down on Raremon's arm, but it just sunk right through and he started to laugh in a really creepy way. He threw me in Koji's direction, but I passed right by him. I was holding on to the edge of the hole, trying not to slip when I heard Takuya yell, "Spirit!" A blue ring surrounded his hand and he held his D-Tector against it saying, "Execute, Spirit Evolution!" His body went through the process of morphing with the spirit. He threw a few punches, making fire come out of his hands and yelled, "Agunimon!" The Digimon that Takuya had become had a red mask with three horns on his face. He had waist length blonde hair. His body was covered in red and gold armor with flame patterns and tints of black.

Agunimon rushed at Raremon, pushing him against a wall and making him shoot his acid out of his mouth. Agunimon jumped back to protect Tommy and Koji, blocking acid sludge with his arms. He told them to run, but before they could he turned back into Takuya. Through all of this I was hanging in the hole, so I was trying to pull myself back up, when Raremon fired another attack and Takuya dove to save Tommy, but knocked Koji back into me, sending us both into the hole. I couldn't help but scream, I couldn't even see where the end was, but suddenly, the ground below us started glowing and I saw the wolf mask that covered Koji while we were in the train. I knew that he had found his spirit. Koji had no idea what was going on. He suddenly yelled, "Spirit!" and then proceeded to transform to his Digimon spirit. "Execute, Spirit Evolution!" When he was done transforming, he grabbed me, so that I wouldn't fall to my doom, and I finally got a good look at him. He had the wolf mask over his face. His short blonde hair ended just above his long silver and blue scarf. He had blue, black, and silver armor covering his body. He was, "Lobomon!" He floated down to the ground, then set me down and told me to run, I obeyed, running to where Takuya and Tommy were standing, admiring Lobomon's beauty. A short white Digimon with a horn on its head and a pink band around its waist that I hadn't noticed before took a book out of the pink band an told us that Lobomon was the legendary warrior of light. Everyone commented on how beautiful Lobomon was and then Raremon attacked.

Lobomon countered by using his Lobo Kendo attack to slice the sludge in two. He ran towards Raremon and used his sword to slice into Raremon's head. A glowing blue ring appeared around Raremon's body. "Now you talking trash heap, prepare to be recycled. Fractal code, digitize!" I watched as Koji used his D-Tector to take Raremon's fractal code. Koji then de-digivolved and fell on the ground panting. Takuya tried to help Koji up. "Don't touch me." He said. Takuya stumbled back in shock, "I don't need your help, or anyone else's, but I guess I should thank you for saving me. I always repay my debts."

"I didn't do it so you'd owe me, you know." Takuya was obviously frustrated. "My name's Koji Minamoto and you are?" Silence… "So, are you going to tell me? I can't repay you if I don't know your name." "I'm Takuya Kanbara." Koji turned away, "Takuya huh, see you." Koji started walking away and I figured that I'd better follow him so I left their dumbstruck expressions. Just when I was getting to the mouth of the cave I heard them call out, "Wait who are you?" I turned so that I was facing them, but was still walking, "My name's Jade Gallagher." I turned back the way I was going and tripped on a stray pipe. I fell flat on my face and when I pulled my face off the ground I was looking at Koji's laughing face. "Shut up." I said then proceeded to walk past him and out of the tunnel with him following close behind.

A/N: I hope that that was a good chapter, please review so that I can change things if I'm doing them wrong.
