Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Ancient Warriors ❯ New Courage ( Chapter 13 )

Ch.13

        The scene settled upon Crusadermon and Dynasmon pillaging the latest town. Dynasmon streaked forward and smashed right through a building, laughing.

        "Beautiful, but now its my turn," Crusadermon said as she flew forward and her yellow ribbons gleamed in the moonlight. Two buildings toppled over, sliced in half. They kept at it, scanned up all the data, and soon nothing was left of the town except a large gaping hole. "Full yet?"

        "Never," Dynasmon answered. "Now what should we scanned next?"

        Crusadermon looked over the horizon and spotted something. "How about that? Steel Town!"

        "Excellent! We will scan it all up!" Dynasmon's and Crusadermon's laughs rang out over the dawn.

"I can't believe that we just went through that," Lance groaned as the group said good bye to the Trailmon that had helped them. "I just can't believe that we were on one of the moons of the Digital World, shot from a giant slingshot in a rocket, and having a Trailmon push us all the way back down!"

        "Oh come on Lance, it could have been worse," Acqua said cheerfully as she skipped along. "I mean we could have been stuck up there for quite awhile"

        "Acqua does have a point Lance, so stop mopping will ya," Kevin asked as he stood next to Raze.

        Raze said nothing during this argument, only gave Kouchi, who was walking near the front, a penetrating stare. She had noticed that while the others had their fractal code rings showing during the fight, his didn't show up and how he got out of it virtually unscratched was a great mystery to her. She was greatly pondering this when she realized where they were going and she was just about to open her mouth to tell them when instead another voice yelled it out.

"Hey, we're heading toward Steel Town!" This was Kumi speaking.

        Lance jumped. "We're heading where!?"

        Kumi glared at him. " I said we are heading toward Steel Town! Want me to get a megaphone next time?" Lance glared back. Luckily before a fight broke out, Acqua grabbed Kumi's shoulders and Takuya grabbed Lance's shoulders.

        "Ok you two! We don't need a fight," Takuya said. Both Kumi and Lance gave death glares at each other.

        Moment later they had arrived at Steel Town. "Wow! It's so shiny and beautiful," Zoe gasped as she gazed around. The buildings and even the ground were made of metal.

        "Yeah, wonder why Mercuremon doesn't look as good," snickered Diana and was answered with Mercuremon banging her over the head with one of his shields.

        "Still thy tongue! I shalt not tolerate thy taunts!" Mercuremon said this crossly as Diana yelped and massage her head.

"Hold it guys, we have to disguise Mercuremon, not sure how digimon will react when they see him," Raze said as she pulled out a large cloak and draped it over Mercuremon. The group slowly walked down a ditch that ran nearby steel town when suddenly Raze paused.

        "Hey, do you guys hear something?" Raze asked this when suddenly a large and swift digimon appeared before them.

        "Oh dear! Its Sagittarimon!" Bokomon shouted. Kumi frowned at it for it had been making rather strange noises as it had galloped to them.

        "Stop right there humans. While I have nothing against you personally, you have to hand over all your obsessions!" The group stared at him with sweatdrops running down the back of their heads.

        "Obsessions?" Raze asked, as the sweatdrop grew bigger.

        "Uh, I mean your possessions, I should've said stuff as I usually do. I shouldn't have bought that thesaurus." Everyone's sweatdrops grew bigger.

        "Look, I think you better get out of our way. You're wasting our time," Acqua said.

        "Look you don't want to get hurt so hand over all of your obsessions," Sagittarimon said.

        "I can't believe we're getting robbed by someone this dumb! You mean possessions right," JP asked as the Ancient Warriors snickered behind their hands.

        "Uh right, possessions, that is what I just said right?" Sagittarimon scratched his head as the snickers grew louder.

        "Ok, just give us a sec," Takuya said shaking his head as everyone got into a huddle.

        "There's no way he's with the Royal Knights," JP said.

        "Thou is correct, I suggest we get rid of him and be on our way," Mercuremon said shooting a small glare at Sagittarimon.

        "What's taking so long? Hand it over," Sagittarimon said.

        "I'm afraid we have to say no to that," Koji said as the whole group glared at the rather stupid digimon.

        "What!?"

        "We don't have time for this so why don't you just run off before you get hurt," Kevin said as he flicked his sunglasses up.

        "Trust me, you're going to be the one whose going to be hurting," Sagittarimon laughed when suddenly a voice yelled," Stop!" Sagittarimon blinked. "What now?"

        Everyone looked up to see a group of four kids staring down at them. Three boys and one girl. "Who's that?" Takuya asked this as he stared up.

        "Human kids! But how?" Koji's face had a look of great confusion as he looked at the newcomers.

        "Well, maybe these kids are working to save the Digital World to," Bokomon said.

        Tommy looked closely at two of the kids and gasped. They were the same two kids who had shoved him onto the train! He shivered when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked over to see Kevin who winked at him. "Hey don't worry Tommy, if those two had bothered you before, know that you won't be alone if hey pick on ya again," Kevin smirked.

        One of the boys glared down upon the dumb digimon and yelled," Hey, you leave them alone!"

        Sagittarimon glared up at the boy. "And if I don't?"

        "Well then you'll have to answer to him." As the boy said these words a angel digimon flew up and landed in front of Sagittarimon.

        "Oh! I want to grow up just like him," Patamon said googly eyed as he stared at the angel.

        Lance blinked. "Amazing! Its Angemon!"
        "Judgement Arrow!" Sagittarimon yelled as he launched his attack, but Angemon easily knocked away the arrow with his staff.

        "Sorry, but you'll have to do better then that!" Angemon suddenly whacked Sagittarimon up into the air and he soon disappeared. The two groups at first only looked at each other.

        Soon enough the whole gang was sitting in one of the buildings in Steel Town, Mercuremon still hidden beneath his cloak. Raze frowned as she heard the story that the kids had not listened to Ophanimon to return the real world. "Are you guys crazy? Its really dangerous here, there are dangers like the Royal Knights!"

        "We aren't afraid! Besides we have Angemon to protect us!" Katsuharu said this stubbornly. "Besides, how are you guys protecting yourselves?" He gazed upon Bokomon, Patamon, and Neemon with scorn. "Those digimon don't look like much." His gaze then shifted to the hunch over Mercuremon who was scowling beneath his disguise. "And who is this?" Mercuremon looked like he would like to show this boy a thing or two, but Raze's hand slid over his and tightened.

        "Oh yeah? We have the spirits of the ten," Takuya began to shoot back but Koji gave his head a tiny shake.

        "You guys have no idea on how dangerous it is here, you should get back on the train and leave immediately!" Koji said this angrily.

        "Oh yeah? Well you aren't our parents and we aren't going to do anything you want!" The boy named Teppei said as the others gave nods of agreement. Then they stormed out. Teppei and Katsuharu shot glares at Tommy as they walked out. The warriors wanted until they were gone and Mercuremon hurled off the cloak with anger.

        "Those children will get themselves hurt one day," he said angrily. Raze looked downcast.

        "They donâ€â"¢t see the danger, they think of this like some kind of vacation," she said sadly.

        Soon the group had spilt up in different areas of the town. Raze and Mercuremon kept themselves out of sight inside one of towers. Raze gazed down upon the group that was picking tomatoes and shook her head. "They just don't get it do they?"

        "They art stubborn, it wilt take them awhile before they decide to listen to reason," Mercuremon said at her side. Raze looked up into his flat and seemingly emotionless face.

        "Kinda like the two of us?"

        Mercuremon had to smile at that. "Yes, a bit like us," he said softly as their lips brushed gently each others.

        Tommy and Kevin were hanging out inside another tower, also looking out the window. Tommy seem to have his own thoughts as Kevin watched him. "Dude Tommy, relax a bit, what's on your mind?" Before Tommy could answer another voice cut in.

        "So you guys think you are big shots huh?" Tommy and Kevin whirled around to see Katsuharu sneering at them. "You guys you can just boss us around." He advanced menacingly at them and grabbed both of their collars. "Well guess what, once we get rid of you, we'll be the heroes that saved the world!" Kevin struggled to break the bully's grip when yet another voice cut in.

        "Leave them alone Katsuharu." The three looked up to see Teppei glaring at them. "You don't bully them unless I tell you to! Besides, we don't need to waste our strength on them, they are weak and this world is only for the strong. These two will never be strong." Kevin glared at him as he said this and was about to open his mouth to argue when Tommy yelled instead.

        "You 're the ones that are weak! You have to pick on those smaller then you just to make yourselves feel better!" Tommy yelled this as he ran out and Kevin ran after him.

        "Hey Tommy! Wait up!" Kevin shouted this as he chased after Tommy and the two bullies inside exchanged glances. Meanwhile JP, Zoe, Acqua, and Lance were helping Chiak and Terou pick tomatoes.

        "You know you two, don't you guys miss your families," Acqua asked as she plucked a tomato.

        Chiak answered," Yeah, I miss them sometimes, but this is the life! No school, chores, or responsibilities." The warriors looked at each other.

        Takuya, Koji, Kumi, Kouchi, and Diana were hanging out near the front of town. "Those kids are looking for major trouble if they don't listen to our advice," Kumi grumbled as she shook her head.

        "Yeah, those kids should have to think with their brains instead of thinking that his whole thing is nothing but a big vacation," Takuya said.

        "Yes, but you cannot blame them for such a thing," a voice cut in as the four jumped. They looked around and saw Angemon. "They just do not see the danger yet."

        "Oh come on, haven't tried to reason with them," Diana asked and Angemon nodded.

        "I have tried many times to reason with them, but they will not listen. Ophanimon's orders for me was the protect them and I will do that," he answered. They group exchanged glances and Kumi seemed ready to argue again when suddenly they heard loud yelling and cheering. They whipped around to see that Sagittarimon had returned with friends.

        "Oh great, itâ€â"¢s a bunch of Centaurimon," Diana groaned. "They are pretty dumb creatures but their love for battle makes up for that."

        "You brats should have handed over your obsessions when you had the chance!" Sagittarimon snarled this out as he waved his hand and the Centaurimon attacked. Angemon raced forward to fight Sagittarimon and the Centaurimon.

        "AH!! Hit the dirt!!!" Kumi yelled this out as they all dove for cover. However, Katsuharu froze as he watched a gang of the centaur digimon charge right at him. "Come on kid move!!!!"

        He tried to dash for safety, but tripped. Teppei yelled out," come on Katsuharu! Get up!!"

        The lead Centaurimon held out his hand and yelled out," Solar Ray!" The yellow beam raced toward Katsuharu as the other watched in horror. But suddenly Tommy dove and rolled Katsuharu out of the way.

        Raze, who had raced down with Mercuremon yelled out," Alright people! Lets show these guys how to fight!" *SPIRIT EVOLUTION!*

"Reavermon!"

"Agunimon!"

"Lobomon!"< br>
"Korikakumon!"

"Lowemon!"

"Beetlemon!"

"Kazemon!"

"Hayabusamon!"

" Tsunamimon!"

"Holicmon!" "Heliomon!"

"Artemismon!"

        The other children gaped in shock as the human turned into digimon. Katsuharu gaped at the large digimon that had once been Tommy. "No way! That's Tommy!?"

        "I don't believe it! They turned into digimon!" Teppei gaped. The warriors were soon scattering the enemies in all different directions.

        "Wow, I didn't know humans could evolve," Sagittarimon said as he scratched his head and then Angemon cut in," Don't forget about little old me." His fist smacked Sagittarimon right in the face and he went flying out of sight.

        Reavermon glared down at the battle beaten Centaurimon and asked," You guys had enough?" The Centaurimon bolted away with terror.

        Later the warriors and other children stood near the edge of town. "Sorry Tommy, you really aren't weak." Katsuharu said this shyly. Raze nodded as the two shook hands. Suddenly she froze and looked up.

        "Guys! Itâ€â"¢s the Royal Knights!" Everyone's gaze shot up to indeed see the two evil digimon racing at them. Angemon tried to fight them, but Dynasmon easily defeated him and scanned him.

        "No! Angemon!" Chiak yelled this as Crusadermon threw an energy net over the extra children. Dynasmon picked the net up and prepared to fly off, but Tommy launched himself and managed to grab it.

        "Tommy!" Takuya ran after Dynasmon but Crusadermon stopped him as she shouted, "Scarlet Tempest!" The rose petals stopped everyone in their tracks and Raze glared up at where the Royal Knights had been. "We have to save Tommy and the others!"
