EL Digital Saviors 3
Ok here's chapter three... Its time for Lucy to face her destiny and head back into humanity's court. Here we meet Kouta, Kanae, Yuka and run into the first minion of the Network the Ghost type Raremon! Rated K+ for mild swearing, moderate Digimon on human/Digimon on Digimon action violence, and rude/crude humor. I own nothing since Digimon is owned by Bandai/Toei Company and Elfen Lied belongs to Lynn Okomoto. Just remember readers I'm hopelessly insane. Also here are the pairings which include obviously Kouta/Lucy-Kaede, Patamon/Salamon, Kanae/Alex, Renamon/Tentomon, Mayu/Nana, Jason/Yuka, and finally Aiko/Junpei.

-Digital World 13 years later
-begin Digimon Tamers US Theme by Paul Gordon
"My name is Lucy Yagami. I live in the Digital World but don't think you can plan your next vacation there I'm not even quite sure where it even is. I'm a DigiDestined a warrior chosen to defend both the human and Digital realm. It's my mission to recruit seven more to have as both world's champion's. Anyway it's my... "
"Hey Luce who ya talking too? I heard if you talk to and answer yourself you're in trouble." Patamon asked interrupting her from her monologue.
"No one Patamon... no one in particular." Luce answered him pleasantly blushing a bit.
Patamon hovered behind her as the girl looked over the high hill she'd climbed up the wind blew her bright rose pink hued locks around as she sternly stared over the landscape all the way to the horizon. Lucy had grown in tremendous leaps and bounds during the 13 years. She'd trained with some of the most Digimon ever seen and learned everything there is to know about the human world. She wasn't the same scared little girl she was when she first arrived here anymore... in fact she was a lean, mean, digi-ass kicking machine. She was ready for anything, ready for any challenge whatever it may be.
Her outfit was very different now... Heavy duty hiking shoes set in pink adorned her feet while pink baggy oversized socks were worn on her feet as well. Low cut jean short shorts were worn over her lower body plus she had pink hued circular knee pads. Her thin white belt wrapped around her trim waist, her silver buckle was set in the shape of an old artifact called the "Crest of Hope" while the side clip held her Digivice. Her shirt was a bright pink T with white short sleeves and bottom. It looked to be just a tad small as some of her trim midriff showed when she moved at certain angles. that and her developed bust. Worn over that was a short jean jacket bleached white while her dainty but serious looking face had a large tan brimmed hat plus a set of pink tinted goggles adorned her brow. The last article of clothing were the black fingerless gloves. All of the parts of her outfit were handmade by Swanmon and custom fitted. All in all she looked sharp in fact she was as sharp as a tack.
"Anyways Patamon what do you need?" She asked still not facing him but nonetheless in a good mood. "I'm just enjoying the nice digital weather."
"Gennai wants to see us." Patamon said landing on her shoulder.
"Gennai? Hmm haven't heard from him in awhile. Let's go see what he wants pal." The first Digidestined replied ready to go see what the sage had to tell them.
-Gennai's pad
By the time the pair had arrived at Gennai's place they as in Lucy was astounded by the level of simplicity of the sage's pad. A massive cable led into the metal roofing into a wiring network going to Digital City where the Guardian Megas: Azulongmon the dragon, Baihumon the tiger, Zhuqiaomon the phoenix, and Ebonwumon the tortoise resided. Gennai's fairly modest looking cottege resembled something of a middle sized beach house residing by a small but somewhat deep lake where numbers of fish lived. The rosette always liked coming to the place. The elderly sage always seemed to have advice for the girl to follow when she was having problems... in some ways he was like a suragate father to her or at the very least a grandfather.
Speaking of the sage himself Gennai was watering his flower garden. He turned to see his guest had arrived. "Ahh there you are Lucy I was thinking you'd be showing right about now. Good to see you young lady."
"Gennai what do you need from me?" The girl asked him as her partner hovered behind her.
Gennai took a gold laced box from his patio table and handed it to the first Digidestined. "Well to give you a parting gift... here its in this box."
Opening it she found a pair sturdy looking pink fingerless gloves bearing a metal plate on the back with some symbol she wasn't familiar with. "Gloves?" She questioned.
"Not just any gloves the metal plate is Chrome Digizoid with the symbol of the Legendary Thunder Warrior known as Ancientbeetlemon. These gloves are experimental weapons that can copy any Digimon's attack and send it back at them. Try them on see if they fit." Gennai said encouraging the girl to try them on.
Slipping the two pieces of cloth over her dainty hands they fit just fine. "Thanks Gennai I'll really use these... I've a sparring match back at the village with the guardians anyways I'll see how they work."
"Oh one more thing you're needed at the Atlas Tower in Giga City by the Soveriegns. Don't worry they'll call when they need you. Be careful its going to be one long hard road ahead of you. Patamon that goes for you too... the bond between Digimon and DigiDestined is strong between you two. You are to never give up to any enemy once a warrior's lost hope, heart and courage then they are truly defeated." Gennai said giving the pair some last minute advice.
"Thanks sir well Luce time we head out back to the village... you got got a match to do c'mon!'' Patamon happily said flying back towards the village whose buildings could be just off in the distance... Gennai liked to have privacy which was why he was so far from the village.
-shortly
As the two walked back to the village Luce was unusually quiet during the walk which got noticed by her partner Digimon. It wasn't like her to keep quiet so something must've been on her mind. "Money for yer thoughts Luce?'' Patamon mentioned snapping her out of la-la land.
''Oh uh nothing... It's nothing.'' Luce making up the best makeshift fib she could.
"Aw c'mon you can tell me anything. Oh bet I know what it is you're worried about going back right?" The orange monster guessed... and based on his partners reaction he hit the nail the head.
"Look Patamon I'v no friends no family if I died there no one would even miss me. Everyone hates me... cuz of my ugly horns. I seriously think I'm some kind of cosmic joke. How can I recruit DigiDestined if no one even cares about me." Lucy sadly admitted as her scarlet eyes got very teary. She was on the verge of bawling.
Patamon knew his friend needed a few words of encouragement. So he gave her some. "Oh Luce you're never really alone... ya got me. I'd care just like you'd care if I was wiped out by a Virus. C'mon chin up keep those spirits up afterall the Digivices only pick those pure of heart and soul. I'm sure there's seven worthy people out in Tokyo."

A bit later the likes of the villages strongest warriors consisting of Leomon, Centarumon, yellow stuffed bear Monzaemon, and the powerful metallic Andromon. All four of would take Luce on or tag each other out if if a buddy was knocked out. They were using the sparring circle used for test battles though it more closely resembled a oversized sumo wrestling ring.
''Alright bring it on you guys lemme have it." Lucy called to the four letting them know she was ready.
"Beast Sword!'' Leomon roared as he charged at the girl. As the battle started up Luce and Leomon ran at each other and the lion based Champion unsheathed his Beast Sword weapon and tried a downward slash on her only for her vectors to catch and hold the blade just inches above her head struggling against Leomon's mighty strength.
The likes of Leomon was strong but not necesarrily smarter than his opponent young Lucille who had a wicked idea. "Sorry Leomon but I gotta win here so I'm gonna hit right where it counts. Like so!" Lucy then did a low blow... a below the belt... as in a groin shot. Leomon nearly doubled over from pain only the rosette used a powerful double handed vector to knock Leomon right out of the sparring circle and knocking him out.
The likes of the others did rock-paper-scissors to determine who would go next... in short Monzaemon lost completely as did Andromon while Centarumon won. Before he started his attack he spoke out to Lucy. "Alright Lucille let me see what you're truly capable of. Show me your true strength.''
As Centarumon stood his ground on the spot but closely watching the short pink haired girl turning ever so slightly as she circled him looking for an opening to attack. But Centarumon quickly took the offensive as he yelled out his attack. ''Solar Ray!'' He called out as a small bundle of metallic rods emerged from his right palm which unleashed a powerful yellow energy blast upon his smaller opponent.
Lucy tumble dodged out of the way as the blast obliterated a large nearby chunk of rock. Luce leapt out of the way again as the centaur creature again fired a yellow laser beam from the palm of his mechanical hand. Lucy knew she needed to on the offensive if she was to win and she decided to try the gloves Gennai gave her. He said they could copy any attack so she figured now was a good enough time as any to try it out.
Lucy then took refuge behind what was left of rock and began to prepare her counterattack all the while Centarumon was egging her on to show herself. ''Puny warrior are you that imtimidated by me that you resort to hide and seek tactics?! Show yourself and fight me like a woman! Coward!''
Jumping out from her rocky shelter she let out a rebel yell. ''Solar Ray!'' Centarumon whirled around as his red eye widened as Lucy fired a concentrated laser burst beam from the both of her gloved palms he'd just done... as hard as it was to comprehend she'd copied his attack!?
The attack impacted Centarumon at full force sending him careening back into a nearby rocky pillar but the continued momentum of the Solar Ray sent him right though the rock which shattered as he crumpled into a heap. Trying to regain his footing he finally spoke. ''That felt... interesting... ahhh.'' He muttered as he then collapsed.
"Ok two down two left so who's next eh?'' Luce asked the likes of Monzaemon and the metallic Andromon.
Once again Andromon and Monzaemon did a rock-paper-scissors to determine who would go next... yet again the bear lost but being polite Andromon let Monzaemon go instead.
"Crap... '' The yellow Puppet muttered not liking where this was going.
Trotting over to the sparring ring the Ultimate Puppet type prepared himself obviously not really wanting to fight. Monzaemon was powerful but preferred not to fight when possible being a pacifist mostly. "I'm not really trained for this Luce. Sure I'm strong but... but... but... I'm the weakest of all the Ultimates here ya gotta go easy on me. Err please.''
"Sorry Googly-Bear can't go easy on you just because you're a pacifist... Here I go! Jet Gallop! Thunder Fist!'' Lucy yelled as her fists glowed yellow and used an attack from her teachings about the Ten Legendary Warriors or more specifically the Human Warrior of Thunder Beetlemon. Luce then called lightning to her fists and then released it through a physical medium... like a punch. She also used Centarumon's Jet Gallop move to quickly dash right into Monzaemon's face.
"Oh no... '' The giant stuffed bear uttered as the attack sent him flying right out of the ring and into a series of bounces as he finally skidded to a stop. "Never felt b-b-better oh... '' He uttered under his breath clearly unconcious.
Finally it was just Andromon and Lucy now ready to do battle with each other... Andromon rushed his smaller foe and swung a mighty fist trying to crush her only he plowed into the concrete of the ring. Luce leapt upon his arm and used a powered attack at pointblank range in his face. "Magna Blast!" She let out a powerful stream of energy combat move based on a powerful Armored Champion... in this case Magnamon.
"Ahhhhh!" Andromon cried out as he swayed a bit going off balence while energy, smoke, and dust obscured his line of sight as the rosette jumped back out of the way awaiting the dust and attack to fade away. When it did Andromon was ready for the counterattack.
"Lightning Blade!'' Andromon's left hand started spinning into a powerful blade which accumulates electric energy to fire a powerful electric blade of energy from his arm module.
He flung the energy blade at his target though Lucy was preparing her couterattack to his counterattack. "Dark Reflection!'' She called out as her gloved hands glowed white as the attack bounced off them like a mirror with light rays. The attack was sent back at Andromon who punched it hard with his other fist and split the burst in two parts that scattered opposite ways.
"Now we stop playtime... Time for the big guns Lucille! Gatling Attack!'' Andromon hollered as his chest compartment opened and fired two smart homing missiles which followed Lucy where she tried to run to and the missiles also contained machine guns which fired on her.
Luce ran trying to think up a way to beat Andromon... at first when she sparred she couldn't beat anyone but slowly steadily she learned the strengths, weaknesses and patterns of each of the village guardians. But so far she always lost to Andromon. Well her luck was about to change... she needed to get rid of the missiles first then take down the tin man. So tried out her plan with part 1. "Tectonic Slam!" She yelled as she impacted the earth shattering the battlefield and knocking Andromon off balance. Now for part 2.
"Fire Rocket!" Lucy cried out as she used her gloves to hurl a barrage of hot fireballs which took out the missiles... now for part 3 and 4. "Jet Gallop! Atomic Blaster!'' The girl yelled as she used a Jet Gallop and leapt right into the big Android's face. The Atomic Blaster came from Wargrowlmon which she sent right at pointblank in the face.
Back flipping to a safe distance Lucy waited for the blast to clear... Andromon was very charred and blackened, his eyes flickered a bit. "System crash need rebooting entering sleep mode.'' Andromon then undazzingly fell face first onto the ground apparently knocked out... Lucy had finally beaten the mighty Andromon.
"I don't believe it. I beat Andromon go me!" Lucy said as she was now looking very proud of herself right now.
Looking over the secondary destruction of the battle Patamon cringed a bit. His partner always overdid things... almost like overkill. And this situation fit the bill nicely. "Hey uh Luce the Holy Trinity wants to see you... that and the Digimon Sovereigns. The time has come Luce its time to go back. We're to meet them at Atlas Tower in Digital City. C'mon there's a Trailmon going there let's catch it.''
Looking at his cerulean eyes Lucy saw no sign of malice then again Patamon would never ever lie to her but she was apprehensive about returning to the human realm. "Alright you win pal let's go see how this'll turn out.'' As the pair hopped on board the one-eyed blue Trailmon named Angler so-called because he resembled a blue mechanical angler fish. As the two watched they saw they had a long trip ahead of them. Luce got out of her seat and went out side of the train car. Utilizing her vector arms she hopped up top of the car roof and squinted trying to see just how far away Digital City was from the village. It was just after 1 o'clock when she boarded Angler so the sun was bright and high in the sky. She could just barely make out a glittering spec of a city several hundred miles ahead of her... the terrain was flat grass covered prairie despite being bored Lucy at least liked the the scenery.
As Lucy got back inside the passenger car her mind seemed to wander which her partner picked up on. He sensed her doubt. "Hey Luce looks to me like yer worried. Look I know its been hard on you all this time having no friends or family but I'm sure the other DigiDestined will be your friends. Remember the Sovereigns are the primary rulers of the Digital World they usually don't make small talk so you've got a big privelage to see them.
Your destiny has called but keep in mind destiny isn't something given to us by others in fact destiny comes from the concept 'destine' or directing something towards a given end just be the director in charge.''
Patamon's helpful advice had calmed the rosette down a little. The two talked of who might be partened with which Digimon and even which Digimon would be chosen to sent along to the human realm. The Digivices would determine that aspect so it was a load off the young woman's shoulders. Getting up again the girl watched the scenery whip by and despite what her small orange friend told her she was still nervous at meeting the Sovereigns. She'd heard of them during her stay in this world but until now never met any of them. She checked her hair seeing if it was straight enough, her breath seemed decent, next she checked her outfit it wasn't too revealing was it? Afterall Swanmon made it for her.
-Digital City
As the hours passed by it was almost 3:32 PM by the time Angler arrived in Digital City. All the massive skyscraper typed buildings were being fed by giant cables and wires. Their stony surfaces were highly polished and reflective. Dozens of wires and cables interlinked every massive building into a large network. The building just on their own were huge... Luce couldn't help but look up at them in pure awe. "Wow... these're big buildings.''
"Ok pal where... where... where do we go?'' Luce asked hopelessly lost... she wasn't that much of a city girl Patamon noted. Add the fact she'd never even been to Digital City before until now. Looking around she saw numerous Digimon of varying types, shapes and colors. "Look ya gonna have to show me cuz I've no frigging clue where it is.''
"Atlas Tower the biggest building in the city... just follow me." Patamon said he flew along as the girl followed after him crossing a few streets until they arrived at their destination... Atlas Tower.
After showing her DigiVice to the guard Piximon who resembled a pink puff ball the size of a melon with wings, a spear, and itty bitty feet. "Go right in Lucille everyone's expecting you on the 301st floor at the top. Good luck yep yep.''
As the two took the elevator up they saw through the tower's black glass windows just how high up they were... it would've been an amazing view if Lucy wasn't terrified by how high up she was. She was acrophobic... as in scared of heights. With a ping typed sound they reached the top floor as the elevator doors opened... which was a giant circular deck with a restaurant on one side. The likes of Patamon flew along to the only floor left. There was a door in the middle of the deck with a staircase going up up behind it. The pair opened the door and trudged up the stairs which were high decorative being built of pink and black granite stone.
Up the staircase was another door resembling a massive church door made of red stained wood... Lucy opened it up and was blinded. She also heard voices some familiar some not so much.
"Ah our Destined has arrived... the time has come already I say was just yesterday young Lucille came here.'' Said one of the new voices sounding like some old timer of a geezer.

Once her eyes became attuned to the light the rosette found herself in some brightly lit void of a room far bigger than the building structure suggested otherwise though Patamon whispdered it was a pocket dimension. Luce saw the likes of the Trinity there along five other goddly Digimon. They must be the... the... The Digimon Sovereigns were the group of four Mega level Holy Beast Digimon that are derived from the Japanese myth of the Four Guardian Spirits of Kyoto, itself derived from the Chinese myth of the Four Symbols. Like the Guardian Spirits, they represent and rule over the cardinal points of the compass Ebonwumon for the north, Zhuqiaomon for the south, Azulongmon for the east, and Baihumon for the west. There is also a fifth member, Fanglongmon, who represents and is enshrined in the "Center", from which he supervises the others.
"Ah you've arrived fair child allow me to introduce the Digimon Sovereigns... Ebonwumon the turtle of the north, Zhuqiaomon the southern phoenix, the eastern dragon Azulongmon, and Baihumon the tiger of the west.'' Lady Ophanimon said in her usual soothing motherly typed voice. "Their ruler of the center is Fanglongmon.''
To say she was shocked didn't quite cover it. Back when she was little she thought the Trinity was big but these five were even bigger. Ebonwumon for example resembled a large two headed turtle with a tree growing out of his back instead of a shell. Zhuqiaomon for example resembled a flaming orange multi-winged four eyed phoenix while next to him Azulongmon looked like a massive serpent dragon cast in blue while chains wrapped around his long body. His face adorned by a flowing beard. Baihumon the tiger had a battle helmet on his face cast in purple as were his stripes while a ring of 12 orbs encircled his body. Fanglongmon resembled a different type of dragon covered in armored scales. The ones on his back curved like a shell though his twelve eyes freaked the girl out a little.
Baihumon was also the first one to speak to her. His four red eyes observed the guest's posture and figured she needed a break. "Don't be afraid young one we the Sovereigns are ready to unlock the gate to the real world. It is time to show that damnable Network who they're picking a fight with. Courage, heart, and virtue are things no enemy of the Network can take from you those are my words of advice.''
"The human race cannot be exterminated or subjugated by those evil Viruses they must be defeated if humanity is to survive." The massive phoenix added voicing his views of Lucy's mission.
Not pleased with the Sovereigns line of logic Luce spoke out against it. As far as she was concerned they were just a bunch of animal based polititions. ''I don't think I should even worry about saving humanity the way they cage and torture my kind like animals.''
"Not all humans are bad the ones you grew up with were but the DigiDestined will not be cruel I swear it.'' One of Ebonwumon's heads went as the other then spoke. ''Besides you can defend yourself now you're not weak you've grown up in so many ways before our eyes just like we hoped.''
"You speak like you knew those boys would try to kill my dog... you did know! How? I want answers right now!'' Luce demanded but no one spoke up.
Cherubimon however had the answer to that one. ''Actually an associate of ours Babamon works in fortune telling she saw your dark future and we the Trinity worked to send Patamon to you in hopes of saving both worlds.''
"Lucille enough of that temper of yours you are our guest keep that in mind young one. Now behave in our place of dwelling.'' A very annoyed Fanglongmon decreed to the snippy little humanoid to watch her manners.
"Anyways my dear the Sovereigns will open the gateway and while they're busy with that you're to report back to the Asuka Inn and finally let the Digivices decide their respective Digimon. Then you're to head out into the real world and scattor the rookies in hopes of finding their destined partners.'' Lord Seraphimon explained.
"Ok then I guess its high time we leave and move on out c'mon Patamon we've a Trailmon to catch... it was a long trip lets hope we can get back into the human world before it gets too dark. C'mon we gotta gather up our Rookies.'' Luce said turning on her heel and went speeding out the doors. "Laters nice meeting you Sovereigns but I got things to do, places to go, and people to meet and nowhere near enough time to do them all in.''
-eventually - Central Terminal
By this time the likes of Lucy, Jiro, and Patamon arrived back at Central Terminal nearby to the Asuka Inn door they gathered up all the Rookies they had available. Neemon, Bokomon and Calamon were excluded as they were coming along by default as guides to the new Digidestined in case they were in need of more thorough convincing though Calamon was more for morale. Patamon flew along holding the bag containing the blank Digivices. Numerous Rookies ranging from Gabumon, Biyomon, Veemon, Armadillomon, Wormmon, Guilmon, Terriermon, Gaomon, Lalamon, Bearmon, Agumon, Palmon, Renomon, Tentomon, Hagurumon, Hawkmon, Lopmon, Salamon, Impmon, Floramon, Gotsumon, and even ol' Elecmon.
"Ok let's see who's going with and who's stayin'.'' Patamon uttered though deep down he wished everyone could come with them.
The devices hovered in the air as if possessed by some higher power... They hovered over each and every Rookie sometimes doubling or tripling back to the same Digimon just to be sure. Suddenly one of the gizmos changed to deep orange and white. It then rested in Agumon's clawed hands. "I don't believe it I'm one the partners whoo yeah!''
Next Digivice up became red and white and went to Hawkmon. "This is stupendous I must celebrate later once I find a suitable partner.''
After Hawkmon was the likes of Tentomon whose corresponding Digivice was dark red and grey. "Excellant I won't let the Trinity and Sovereigns down.''
Changing to a hue of bright grassy green and white the next gizmo went to Palmon. "Oh I'm really not worthy of this type of honor but I'll do whatever I can.''
''Wow this is completely crazed how can I be picked I just work here.'' Hagurumon uttered apparently at a loss of words. His Digivice was chromed bronze and light grey.
Next the likes of Renamon was chosen. The Digivice took on a deep saffron yellow and violet coloring. ''Hmm it seems I've been chosen too I can only do my best.''
"Well lookit this Patamon I'm comin' to join ya on yer trip how's them apples hmm?'' Salamon said jokingly 'jabbing' at her friend Rookie. The final Digivice was a rich shade of pink and pure white like alabaster.
Looking over her orange and navy hued Digivice Luce watched the time tick away... it was almost time to go. But before she left she had to give some positive parting words for the Digimon that weren't chosen afterall it was only fair. "Ok the rest of you stay here that weren't chosen and help guard the terminal while we're you're all just as important. Alright you guys just about time we boogie outta here... The sovereigns should be unlocking the gate anytime now.''
A few moments later a large rift opened up and Luce could see the seashore that was the coast of Yokohama. It was now or never as the young woman bit her lip and ran then dove into the dimensional hole. Patamon flew in after her then Jiro jumped in as all the Rookies leapt in after them. Then the rift closed as the fate of two worlds and three different races hung in the balance.
-Yokohama sea front
Back in the real world Luce gave an investigative eye to everything from the air to the waters to the dirt... her Digivice gave the time at 7:14 PM since the moon was high in the cloudless sky. Things seemed the same at first glance but years had gone by and it was likely no one even remembered her. It was just as well anyways. Turning to her troops she spoke. ''Ok everyone fan out look into schools, colleges, homes anything where potential Digidestined might be found. You got your orders now move out!'' She half barked out.
"Right!'' They all say as they spread out over the town.
The likes of Bokumon, Neemon, and Calamon however stuck with Luce, Patamon, and of course Jiro who'd grown quite a bit over the years. Suddenly the likes of Lucy's Digivice activated inidicating the Network was already on the move sending out their agents and minions to slaughter any potential candidates. "Wow looks like a big one guys let's go keep an eye on this one... (types in scan command) Shit! He's too far away to scan from here he's gotta get closer. Alright boys let's go hunt us a Virus!''
-meanwhile
Meanwhile elsewhere on the beachfront the likes of three young people were strolling along the beach looking for shells, sand dollars, coins, bottle caps and other oddities hidden in the sand. The boy had dark black hair plus with a hint of blue deep sapphire eyes and his two female companions looked very similar they must be family if anyone was noticing. The first girl seemed older and wore a long sleeved white blouse with some grey slacks on her legs plus was a brunette. The second had a blue jean jacket over her tan undershirt plus tight fitting jeans. The three were totally unaware of the dangers their lives were about to be thrust into.
"Y'know Kanae its great you decided to move to Yokohama and help us take care of the inn. With all three of us working on its upkeep we shouldn't have any problems. You're a great little sister to have." The boy said thanking his younger sibling who was named Kanae.
Chuckling a bit Kanae figured just the right response to that. "Well somebody needs to help my brother Kouta out in the morning he moves like a dead snake or like a dead log plus he sawin' 'em too. Ain't I right Yuka?''
"Cuz you are so right Kouta would be lost without us. Right cuz?" Yuka said identifying herself as the sibling set's cousin.
Pointing at the older girl Kouta was more than a little miffed. "Hey I resent that Yuka... But it is great to have familiar faces around. It'll be just the three of us for awhile.''
Little did Kouta and his relatives realize just how wrong those words would be as a series of events and characters would shake their life upside down in mere seconds. Their peaceful life was about to end especially since Lucy's small group was headed their way... along with trouble too. "Hey who's that over there? And her weirdo costumed midget friends?" Kanae asked pointing to a rather punkish looking girl with pink hair and what seemed to be strange short people dressed in creature costumes. Heavy duty hiking shoes set in pink adorned her feet while pink baggy oversized socks were worn on her feet as well. Low cut jean short shorts were worn over her lower body plus she had pink hued circular knee pads. Her thin white belt wrapped around her trim waist, her silver buckle was set in the shape of an odd symbol while the side clip on the belt held her phone. Her shirt was a bright pink T with white short sleeves and bottom. It looked to be just a tad small as some of her trim midriff showed when she moved at certain angles that and her developed bust. Worn over that was a short jean jacket bleached white while her dainty but serious looking face had a large tan brimmed hat plus a set of pink tinted goggles adorned her brow. The last article of clothing were the black fingerless gloves with a metal on the backs of the hands. Yet another strange insignia marked it.
"Ok if we go to the shoreline we might be able to find our mole. But if we go that way back into town it might go... '' The strange girl uttered as she mashed buttons on what appeared to be some kind of fancy cel-phone though the model escaped the trio's minds at the moment.
"Go? I just went before I left.'' The yellow bunny-eque red pants wearing person said apparently lost.
"I'll do it Luce.'' The flying orange stuffed creature shockingly showing it could talk, then it then pulled back the waistband and let it snap letting out a wail from the rabbit.
"Hey um miss its kinda late for the conventions there're in mid summer... but frankly just what characters are your midget friends supposed to be? I don't recognize them any anime I've ever seen.'' Yuka commented asking them where their costumes came from.
"Name's Lucy Yagami. Can't talk now we're on a mission to... '' Lucy tried to say but was cut off by the character with the pink hakama.
"Midgets? I beg your pardon my dear but we are Digimon short for Digital Monsters from a data based dimension created as an offshoot from your communications, internet and electronics grid. Your world is in danger it is Lucy's mission to assemble a team to defeat Viral Kaiser Network from conquering both worlds. I am named Bokumon, the fool in the red pants is Neemon, and the orange flying creature is Patamon Lucy's partner Digimon.'' Bokumon interupted Lucy from her introductions as well as introducing everyone else.
"Digital Monsters? Viral Kaiser Network? What a big loada crap... I seriously think Lucy girl needs to take medication. And you all need to get acting classes this is the worst Punk'd I've ever seen in my life. Data based world please what kind of fools do ya take us for huh?'' Kanae scoffed immediately thinking this was some kind of prank job.
"Sounds too crazy to me tell me are you guys drunk? Where's yer proof?'' Kouta stated bluntly.
"Hey its no joke everyone in the city is in danger. Not just that but the whole world. Know go away ya bother us we're on the hunt.'' Patamon tried to explain to the skeptical teen girls and boy.
"Oh aren't you just the cutest most adorable sounding thing! C'mere!'' Yuka said putting Patamon in a big bear hug to which he swung his ear wings and swatted her upside her head releasing him from her clutches.
Snapping everyone from their discussion was something big rapidly swimming its way to shore which plowed through the waves then finally revealed its true face. And what an ugly face it was. Its pale blue body was half decomposed and littered with metal plates, cables, circuits, and colored wires. Its gaping mouth was filled by sharpened teeth and the smell of its body reeked of out of date meat and fish. Its arms had three sharp talons which the beast used to haul itself its body around on ashore. Most remarkably of all it spoke err rather hollered. "Rahhhh! DigiDestined come out or I waste the city! Come out!''
"There's your proof.'' Bokumon stated rather bluntly pointing at the foul looking creature.
"Looks a like a hi-tech version of that Gojira monster Hedorah. I hated that movie it was gross!'' Kanae cringed as she held her nose from the monster's horrid odor.
"Double that for me god it reeks of meat thats been left in a parked car for five days plus bits of dead fish!" Kouta also cringed out covering both his mouth and olfactory oriface while Yuka was recoiling so much she was speechless.
"Eww... the heck kind of Digimon is that?" Lucy said nearly gagging from its stink. "Scan mode activate." Lucy ordered.
"Acknowledged scanning... Name: Raremon, a sewer Digimon, Level: Champion, Attribute: Virus. If the smell of its rotting flesh doesn't knock you out, its Breath of Decay attack will.'' Her Digivice went on in its female sounding voice over various things about Raremon.
-begin Invincible by Pat Benatar (don't like P. Benatar too bad I do)
Pressing the button combination Lucy called the activation command. "Execute! Champion Level Digivolve!"
The digivice glowed as Patamon was cast in a beam of bright white light. So bright it blinded everyone on the beachfront. "Patamon digivolve to..." He started to say as additional data poured into him. The ray of data entered his back as he changed into something else. His new body was a white suited six winged angel. His head bore a metal helmet and his waist a blue tattered sash. He was also armed with a long golden staff. "ANGEMON!"
Needless to say the three teens were rightfully shocked by this development... this little orange pig typed critter just turned into a six winged holy angel. Lucy turned to the three and just had to ask it. "Now tell me is that or is that not the coolest thing you've ever seen or what?" Needless to say Lucy had a good point it did look pretty cool minus the whole danger aspect.
Raremon however wasn't pleased to see his enemies here already and quite frankly he was mighty pissed. "Human allied filth! You soil the name Digimon! For the Network die! Breath of Decay! Breath of Decay! Breath of Decay!'' Raremon then belched out multiple globs of acid from his mouth directed at Angemon.
"Angel Staff!" The Champion called out rapidly whirling his golden staff deflecting the globs away from him.
Raremon was about to try again but he wasn't going to get the chance as Lucy prepared herself. "Oh no ya don't! Magna Blast!'' She charged the attack in her gloved hands and let loose a powerful stream of energy directed right at Raremon's side sending him skidding back in circles.
"Ahhh! Stop I'm getting dizzy! BLARGH!'' Raremon moaned as when he finally stopped spinning he ended up puking up his acid sludge right onto the sand which reacted from the stuff creating noxious vapor. "Now I'm really mad! Breath of Decay! Breath of Decay! Breath of Decay!'' He hollered as he spewed out more of his acidic goop at the pair.
Luce tumble rolled out of the way from the first blast while Angemon zoomed up then weaved to the side as he hovered next to his chosen partner. The two made a series of glances at each as if knowing instinctively what to do. "This has gone on long enough Angemon we gotta take him out quickly before he reaches the city. Any ideas Angemon?''
Angemon began to think as he thought of the best possible option. "We could double team him while I distract him you move in for the kill.''
"No I'll distract him you go on the offensive and go for the kill. End of discussion my desiscion is final.'' Lucy stubbornly retorted. That was one of Lucy's shortcomings her bullheadedness and being really stubborn when she wanted to. Though most of the time she was courageous, virtuous, and trustworthy.
"Star Shower!'' Lucy called out as her gloves glowed a deep navy blue and shots out a cluster of stars from said gloves. The attack hit the stenchy target but also seriously ticked off Raremon who turned to see Angemon bearing down on with a a stern serious look on his face. The angel clenched his teeth and charged up his counterstrike.
Leaping up alongside her partner the rosette knew what her guardian Angemon was thinking of and she followed along. They'd practiced this move dozens of times and it was high time they actually use it on an enemy, now was just right. The lives of Yuka, Kanae, and Kouta were in danger in a do or die situation because as long as the two had faith in themselves and trust in each other then they'd be invincible and face their enemy. "HAND OF FATE HAHHH!" The two hollered out as the pair threw out a burst of energy from their gloved hands which impacted the foul smelling Raremon right square in the upper chest then the doubleteamed attack burst out through his back.
''GRAHHHH! NOOOOO! Network forgive me!" The putrid blubbersack wailed out as his body slumped forward as his body started to phase in and out and began breaking up into digital code. This was a mortal blow Raremon was deleted and his reign ended no sooner than it began.
"Heh I think we got 'im buddy. Heck bring on the whole darn Network we'll take 'em all on!'' Lucy boasted over her win.
"Don't get cocky we've a long road to go.'' Angemon said as then returned to his Patamon stage. "I still can't maintain my Champion form darn the luck darn.''
"So ladies and gentlemen do you believe us now?'' Bokumon asked as the trio nodded silently as they also exchanged glances.
The three wondered just what the hell happened and pinched each other to make sure they weren't halucinating or having some kind of bad food reaction. All things were good to go which left them with the most bizarre of options. They did see what they saw. They did witness a blubber monster haul itself on shore then a wierd girl used some hi-tech gizmo to transform an orange creature into an angel and the two not only fought off the blubber mass but beat him. Upon dying the beast broke down into computing code then was gone without a trace. There was no way this was a prank it was way too over the top, yup it happened and it wasn't a dream they all thought.
"You forget one thing Bokumon we need a place to set up camp at and place to stay.'' Patamon pointed out which just made the likes of not just Lucy's but also Neemon, Bokumon, and little Calamon's jaw drop at least 3 and half inches in disbelief.
"Shit... we never packed any gear just the Digivices. How could I forget something that important argh!'' Lucy snapped furious at her own oversights however they pretty big ones mind you. "Oh the Trinity will bite us on this one.''
To make matters even worse the group's stomachs started grumbling. "Great now we're hungry too... '' Calamon groaned out as he rode Jiro like a steed.
"Um actually I think we can help my family recently took over an an Inn if you can get some food there if ya want." Kouta suggested. The boy's cousin smacked him upside his head for being stupid.
"You idiot we'll be taking in monsters what'll uncle think huh?" Barked the older girl at her brother.
"Oh daddy won't have to know cuz my dear Yuka yer not going to tell him. Do it oh I swear I will bust you up then disown you. Got me?'' Kanae fumed to her older relative who nodded. Kanae wasn't usually like this so it was best Yuka didn't offend her and she nodded in response. "Thought so.''
-Inn
By the time everyone arrived back at the Inn Kouta thought it was best he introduce his family to their new aquaintances. It was the polite thing to do especially since Patamon and Luce doubleteamed on the Raremon creature. "Well since you've introduced yerselves its only fair we do the same. I'm Kohta, this is my sister Kanae, and our cousin Yuka. Yuka and I are taking college courses here and sis is helping us take care of this place. We can stay for free if we keep up the place.''
"Nice digs.'' Neemon said looking the place over from its small but quaint kitchen, snug looking den, and table stood near the doorway and TV and entertainment system stood near into the other room. It was very homie in nature as well as quaint.
"It looks so much like the Asuka Inn at Central Terminal.'' Bokumon remarked looking around at it all. An old grandfather clock adorned the wall near the dinner table. "Hmm what fine craftsmanship on this grandfather clock human's facination with antiques never ceases to amaze me. We've quite a few of a similar model at the Asuka Inn.''
"Really? To us its just an old broken down clock nothing too special.'' Kanae replied off handedly.
The calm mood of the building was interupted by the loud and somewhat unsettling rumblings of the likes of Lucy and her crew's stomachs. "Sorry my stomach is talking... whaddyou got to eat around here?" Patamon politely asked setting himself in one of the dinner chairs.
This bit of news made Yuka think back to the dinner she had ordered last night... she had quite a large number of leftovers from the dinner set she ordered from the Boston Market. The set was a complete familiy dinner for seven but a lot of it was just put in the fridge since it was only three of them. "Well there are the leftovers from the dinner I ordered from Boston Market in the fridge. There's rice balls, roasted duck drumsticks and wings, American biscuits, breaded shrimp, tossed salad, baked potatoes, Wonton soup, and some some other US dish they call mac n' cheese. We've milk, juice and of course tea to drink. I'll get them for you since you're our guests albeit strange ones.''
Fetching the desired food from the refrigerator and prepared the utensils and place and very soon the guests to the Maple Inn were ready to eat. Lucy cracked her knuckles as Patamon flexed his little black fingers as surprising as it was to the set of relatives he could use chopsticks. "Ok folks let's eat!'' Luce called out to her posse.
The likes of Lucy and her friends then went about scarfing down the food and inadverdently put off the three who invited them there in the first place. Once Neemon got to the soup he slurped it down once it had cooled then Patamon chomped his biscuits even the white rabbit-esque creature Calamon was eating like a hog. Once the Digimon realized just what kind of pigs they were acting like they ate in a much more civilized manner.
"I'm just glad we didn't feed them directly they'd be liable to bite our hands off... '' Kanae remarked offhandedly on their guests scarfing down of all of the leftovers.
Soon everything was gone as the likes of Lucy and her monster friends rubbed their stuffed stomachs. "Ah I'm stuffed warmed over leftovers delish.'' Bokumon admitted as he sipped his black tea. "Good tea too.''
"I presume we're getting a room too so we can sleep huh?'' Luce asked but just a glare from the three. "Look we Digidestined need a homebase to stay at and keep in contact with each other so don't give me the suspicious look. Besides Neemon, Bokumon, and Patamon will stay in my room and outta yer hair.''
This arrangement got no objections from any of the relatives though Yuka did notice one slight oversight. "Uh but wait what about Calamon you seriously didn't forget him?''
"Why Yuka thank you for volunteering good idea you keep an eye on him then.'' Lucy said to a speechless Yuka as she stretched herself a bit and felt a little weary after a long hard day. She'd been on the go ever since she woke up that morning at Asuka Inn sparring, taking Trailmon rides, finding the destined Rookies and what not would really tire out a girl but luckily Lucy was not just any girl. She was a Digidestined and she hoped more would be found tommorrow.
Walking after the girl and her orange partner up the nearby stairs the likes of Neemon, Calamon and Bokumon were at a state of loss at which door was the bathroom door. ''Oh guys the shower is that way over the left just hop in Yuka can get you some spare clothes from her drawers I'm sure they'll fit you." Kohta said instructing the rosette haired lass and her friends.
"Ok if you say so Kouty-boy." Lucy said giving the college kid a nick-name while walking to where he said to go to. Kouta ended up blushing from the nick-name.
-soon after the shower
Once Luce finished her shower came dressed in an oversized pink sports jersey when she plunked herself down on the sofa. The grey towel she had wrapped around her head started to loosen and fell off to the floor. Kanae instantly saw something fishy about their female guest.
"Uh umm Yuka do you see horns on the girl's head or am I seeing things here?" Kanae said rubbing her worn out eyes wondering if she's hallucinating.
"Yeah she does that's odd." Kohta said taking note of them. "Cuz do you see 'em too?'' He asked Yuka who simply nodded.
"Ok, ok start the teasing now well start it up not like people haven't done this before to me. Take one look call me ox-head, horn freak, freak, monster so start it up c'mon now let's hear it." Lucy said while starting to get riled up at the two finding out about her "defect".
"Really cuz I wasn't going to say anything y'know I think they look cool. You look like some kind of elf almost... Can I touch 'em please?" Kohta being giddy getting a glance from his cousin a look which meant "dear god help my cousins a nut for elves". This was definitely not the reaction the rosette expected to get no not at all it but was nice for a change. This whole set of dialogue caught the 19 year old off guard no one had ever gave compliments before about them though her reasons for having them were explained by Wormmon but she wasn't quite ready to explain to these people just yet.
There was no way of telling how'd they react so it best to feign it for now that is play dumb. "Look I dunno why I have them but since you three aren't that bothered by them I guess I shouldn't try to cover them up. Anyways its been a long day for me we're all gonna hit the sack.''
"Sack? What sack I'm lost why would you wanna hit a sack what'd it ever do to you?'' Neemon asked as the point went completely right over his head. This time Calamon snapped his waistband from which Neemon let out a loud yelp. (folks I'm sorry but I can't resist it I apologize)
-later
Later the likes of Luce snuggled into her new bed of her new room she looked out the nearby window adjusting the blinds with her vectors ever so slightly. Bokumon and the ditsy Neemon had been given two sleeping bags that Yuka got out of storage for them to use while the likes of Jiro stood guard in front of the bed on the fine wooden floor. Patamon however started to doze on the covers. Lucy looking around the room then spoke outloud to no one in particular. "It feels kinda wierd to sleep in a strange new bed after 13 years after living at the Asuka Inn but hey I can adapt so what the hey. This place is pretty cozy... I wonder... ''
"Hey Luce who ya talking too? Remember I said to you if you talk to and answer yourself you're in trouble." Patamon mumbled again interrupting her from her monologue though this time the horned girl simply smiled and curled up under the covers.
-to be continued

But those are to be later chapters for I'm getting all of the main cast together. Well Lucy and her little group have met up with Kouta, Yuka, and Kanae without too much trouble and have settled into the Inn. What sorts of trials do Kouta and Kanae face the following day? Keep reading to find out. How's the pseudo soundtrack holding up?
