Chapter 5: Meeting The Warriors

Taichi growls at his luck. He should have known those two would pull something like this. This was definitely Daisuke's plan after all and Ken just so happened to help. He should have known that those two would retaliate for the way he and Yamato acted at the meeting. How Ken found out was beyond him? Daisuke must have told him.

“I'm going to kill those two!” Yamato growls as they run up the stairs. Pie custard falls to the ground as they run after the two laughing boys.

Despite how angry he was for falling for such an easy prank, he should have seen it coming. It was that day after all. Taichi knew how Daisuke loves to play pranks on the both them every week on this day. He has even got Ken into it. He was surprised that Ken got involved though. Usually he just stays in the living room with Minomon, reading a book. Today, however, Ken had helped. Just because of what happened yesterday. Maybe on second thought, they did deserve it. Yamato might not see it that way though. He had to admit they might have been out of line.

After Mrs. Izumi told them to start the meeting without Ken, Yamato hadn't said two words to the others. He may have said a few words to his brother but that was about it. Taichi cringed at the memory when he realized that he should have seen his boyfriend's actions coming. Daisuke was not happy when they fought. He had tried to tell them to calm down and try to get along if they knew what was good for them. Daisuke had also been quiet during the meeting. It was then when he realized that he must have been plotting to teach them a lesson for not listening to his warning.

Taichi remembered in the meeting that Gennai was talking about the Holy Beasts preparing for war. Taichi knew that they would be going against something they might not be ready for. He can feel it in his gut. What enemy could be such a threat that the Holy Beasts are even afraid of? Taichi began to wonder if this had something to do with those Demon Lords. These still have not found the one that kidnapped Ken and there was still the chance the she could go after him again. And there's also the fact that Gennai said to find the Chosen Children before them. These enemies must be very powerful if they need help from these Warriors. Speaking of Warriors, who were they?

Taichi ignored Yamato as he yelled out to the two boys who were far ahead of them. Taichi blinked. Was there a reason that they were running after them? They were on a digimon for goodness sake. Man, he was an idiot. He wondered if Yamato figured this little problem yet. He wasn't going to say anything of course. Why spoil Ken and Daisuke's fun?

Taichi stopped when Yamato went to wipe pie out of his face. No offence to his friend but that was a funny sight. Yamato somehow got hit with four of the pies that were thrown at them. Taichi held back a laugh at the sight. Despite it being funny he wondered who those other teenagers are? One of them looked just like Ken's cousin, identical even. He wondered if Ken's grandmother invited more family members over. Wait, but didn't the majority of them not like gays? They wouldn't come here if that were the case. In fact that one boy could be Ken's other cousin. There was resemblance between the three.

“Come on Tai they went this way!” Yamato said as he began to move to the right hallway. That led to the fifth floor. Taichi rolled his eyes as he followed. The prank wasn't really that big of a deal. They deserved it for starting the fight anyway.

Mercurymon followed the two laughing boys. Oh the power of youth. Mercurymon thought with a smile. Mercurymon knew what they were up to. They have told him and he had agreed to not to tell anyone. When Loweemon came to ask him the two boys gave him the okay. However, Loweemon was not to tell his partner. That wasn't a problem since he stayed and watched the two as they mixed different ingredients for the pies they were making. It was amazing how many pies they can make in an hour.

The blue dragon digimon ran up the stairs as Ken's boyfriend yelled at them. Mercurymon couldn't believe how ridiculous those two were. Ken and Daisuke were on a digimon for digimon sake. You would think that the two older would have realized that by now. Mercurymon shook his head at that. Humans sure are interesting beings.

“Hey, sugar! Wait up!” Mercurymon groaned. By all things that was Shakespeare! Why was that woman rushing after him? Mercurymon held back a comment as the aqua, fish like digimon spirit floated next to him.

“Ranamon.”

“Oh, don't act so sour, sugar. I came at the liberty of my heart to keep you company.”

If Mercurymon had eyebrows, he would have raised them. If he had eyes, he would have narrowed them as he glared at the Warrior of Water. But unfortunately he doesn't.

“Doest that involve begging me?”

Ranamon huffed at him. “Of course not metal head!” Ranamon floated past him and floated next to the two children on the digimon. She studied the two boy before asking, “This yours?”

“Aye.” Ranamon smiles as she studies the navy hair boy. “You have good taste, sugar. He's adorable,” she said. “He's just as good looking as me.”

Mercurymon groaned at her. “Females.”

“What was that?”

“Oh, nothing.” Females. What has this world come to?

“This must be her brother then.” Mercurymon looks at Ranamon in question as she studies the spiky hair, maroon hair boy, who was sitting in front of Ken.

“What art thee talking about women?” Mercurymon asked curiously. Ranamon places her hands on her hips, gave him a look that said `isn't it obvious, sugar'.

“My partner. My partner is this boy's sister.”

If Mercurymon had eyes, they would have widened in surprise. He was an idiot. He should have known. He, himself, had gone off to find his partner. Why not the others? Though, he was seriously feeling bad for the poor soul who ended up with Ranamon and Grumblemon.

“Go this way Raidramon!” Mercurymon heard Daisuke commend his digimon. Mercurymon and Ranamon followed as the digimon took a left and stopped in front of a door. The two boys demounted and quickly opened the door and ran inside.

“Wow! This is some room.” Mercurymon couldn't agree more. The room they just entered was huge. If Mercurymon didn't know any better he have to say that this room was an athletes paradise. Half of the room looked liked some kind of training room. There were those dummy mannequins and other training equipment. The other half of the room was a soccer field. There were two soccer goals and about six or seven soccer balls scattered around.

“Aye.” Mercurymon couldn't find the words to explain this place. It was amazing. So this is what his partner does when Mercurymon leaves him after lunch. Mercurymon smiles as the two spotted them and waved them over. It will be several minutes before the two boys run into the room.

“Mercurymon over here!” Mercurymon and Ranamon float over to them just in time to see Raidramon dedigivolve back to Veemon and then digivolve to ExVeemon. “Hello, are you Mercurymon's friend?” Ken asked the Warrior of Water when they stopped in front of the two boys.

“Yes, sugar. I'm Ranamon, the Warrior of Water.” Ken smiled sweetly at her as he studies her.

“It very nice to meet you, Ranamon. I'm Ichijouji Ken and this is my best friend Motomiya Daisuke.” Daisuke gave her a lop sided grin as he greeted her. “That blue dragon is ExVeemon, Veemon's rookie form. He's Dai's partner. My partner is Wormmon, but he's Pucciemon at the moment.” Ken tilted his head slightly as he suddenly thought of something. “Mercurymon is this the same Warrior of Water that you have a crush on?”

Many things happened at once. ExVeemon and Daisuke snickered. Ranamon flushed and stared at him in shock. Ken blinked at him in confusion as he flushed and gasped at what his partner said.

“What? Your meaning escapes me what thou art talking about!” Mercurymon couldn't believe he asked that. He DOES NOT like Ranamon like that. She annoys him like the other fools.

Ken frowned at him. “But Mercurymon you talk about her all the time. You are always talking about the Warrior of Water, more then you complain about the Warriors of Wood and Earth.”

“He got you there dude!” Daisuke exclaimed between bursts of laughter. “Give it up you will not win. The quicker you admit your feelings, the faster we can get on with our lives.”

Mercurymon huffed at the obnoxious teenager. “I don't like that lady like that! The lady is just as much as a nuisance as the other two.”

This may have been the wrong reply though. As soon as those words left his mouth, the Warrior of Water cried out, “You jerk! Draining Rain!” A huge grey cloud appeared above, showering a foot load of rain on top him, knocking him to the ground. Mercurymon growled in irritation as the boy and the dragon laughed at him.

“Mercurymon, are you okay?” Mercurymon looks at his partner and sees a concern look in his eyes.

“Aye. I has't been through worse.”

“That was kind of obvious.” The obnoxious teenager replied. Ken sighed at him before rolling his eyes.

“As much as I'm enjoying this little gathering we should probably move before Yamato and Taichi get here.” Daisuke nodded his head, while the two warrior stared at Ken in confusion.

“What you mean, sugar?” The two boys smile innocently at her as they point up. Mercurymon and Ranamon looked up to see a see through arena on the next floor. “Is that an arena?”

“Yeah! That's the Digimon Arena. You can only get access to it through the Training Room.” Daisuke explained.

“The Digimon use this room to stay in shape or to improve their skills.” Ken said.

“Or to have fun.” Daisuke added as he got on ExVeemon

“There's that too. Anyway we are going up there now. You too go on ahead.” Ken said as ExVeemon picked him up. Mercurymon and Ranamon nodded as they floated up to the next floor. It took a bit of time since the next floor was really high up. When they got to the next floor the two boys had arrived.

“Daisuke! Ken!”

Koichi sighed as his brother asked him to explain what was going on (starting from when Mercurymon met Ken) while they were walking to catch up with their younger cousin. Koichi explained the best that he could about what he knew. He first talked about Mercurymon leaving at night and around lunchtime for the last few months. He then talked about the conversation he had when he met up with them. Koji wasn't that surprised that Ken could see the spirits. Ken was already a Chosen after all. Koichi did notice the worry in his brother's eyes when he talked about Ken's fears. Koji didn't say anything but Zoe did ask some questions of her own. Koichi easily answered them before continuing. The next thing he talked about was Ken's D-3 turning into a D-Tector. Takuya stopped at the bottom of the stairs when he mentioned it looked a lot like Takuya and Koji's D-Tectors.

“What you mean by that, Koichi?” Takuya asked.

“Ken's D-Tector is the same versions as yours and my brother's. But there are some differences. Instead of the grip being all gray, Ken's grip has some green on the outer and on the three lines that is on the grip. The buttons are green and a dark pinkish-purple. The D-Tector itself is a dark pink or purple. We noticed before that his crest was engraved on the sides and has a slot on the back, which we assume is for his crest.”

“You're right.” Takuya said as he scratched the back of his head. “It does sound like a lot like ours.” Takuya says as he looks at Koji. “You think it's possible for him to Unify or Fusion Evolve.”

Koji narrowed his eyes in thought. “It could be possible. Though, his is slightly different then ours. There's also the fact that he would need to give us his spirit in order for us to become MagnaGarurumon and Susanoomon.”

Everyone looked puzzled at this. Well everyone except Yuaka, who just looked confused, since he never been a warrior before. After several minutes of ponder Yuaka spoke up. “We are not going to figure anything out until we catch up to your cousin anyway. If the blond and brunette hadn't caught them already.”

“Doubt it,” Koji scoffed. “Those two morons are chasing my cousin on foot. Ken's on a digimon,” Koji shook his head in disgust. “They are just as bad as Takuya!”

“Hey! What's that suppose to mean?” Koji ignored their fearless leader.

“Beside, Ken's a child prodigy. I'm sure he planned something ahead of time and considering how those two were laughing,” Koji smiled. “It's probably something big.”

“He has a point,” J.P. said. “We should probably continue then.” J.P. pushed Takuya up the stairs, while the rest of them followed.

Koichi continued the rest of the story. He skimmed through the part when Ken had a panic attacked and went straight into the conversation he had with Daisuke after he finished talking to his brother. His brother was curious about Daisuke being able to see the spirits. Koichi wasn't sure how he was able to see them. Luckily, Lobomon and Agunimon appeared and explained that it could be because of their bond with one another. The others were confused and didn't understand what they meant by bond. Agunimon told them about the Chosen Children of the Virtues and their partners, while Lobomon talked about the bond between the Chosen and their partners. Once that was out of the way they talked about the bonds between Jogress partners. Koichi was amazed that the bond of two Chosen could be so strong. He didn't even realize that the two partners could communicate with each other in their dream or even feel the others strong emotions. It's as if the two are siblings or twins even. Koichi smiled at the thought. He could always feel strong moods from his brother and understand what he is feeling without even talking. Then again it could be a twin thing.

“Wow! And this is what I call paradise!” Koichi blinked as Takuya exclaimed that. Koichi hadn't realized they were at the room already. Koichi looked around to see that they were in some kind of training room. No wonder Takuya liked this place so much. This place seemed to be built for athletes. There were a bunch of dummies and varies equipment around. Koichi noticed that the dummies varied in sizes and shapes. They seemed to be suited for Baby, In-Training, Rookie, and Champion Digimon, in addition to the ones that look they were made for humans. His cousin must had this built for his digimon, smart.

Koichi turned to the soccer field and realized that Takuya was staring at it in intently. Takuya was a soccer player at his school. If he remembered correctly his cousin was the captain of his team at that private school before his kidnapping or better yet before his grandmother placed Ken in homeschooling. Koichi glanced at his brother, wondering what his reaction was. Koji, not surprisingly, had a look of approval in his eyes when he looked at the training side, but had a look of annoyance when he saw the soccer field and how excited Takuya got when he saw it. Koichi shook his head in amusement. Those two never change.

“THAT WAS SO NOT FUNNY DAISUKE!” Koichi blinked and looked up. Koichi gasped when he saw a clear arena. Within the arena Ken, Taichi, MetalGreymon, and Stingmon were laughing as Yamato chased Daisuke. Mercurymon was with Ken and Ranamon was floating along side Daisuke as he out runs the older blond.

“Wow!” Zoe exclaimed.

“How on earth did they get up there?” J.P. asked.

“Well, why don't we ask them? YO, ICHIJOUJI!”

Koichi watches as his cousin stops laughing and looks down. Ken waves as he sees them. Ken says something to Stingmon as he point down to them. Stingmon nods and flies out of the arena and flies down, land right in front of them.

“Hi, Koji!” Ken said as he gets down from Stingmon and hugs his other cousin.

Koji laughs softly. “Hi, Ken. How are you?”

“Good!”

“Thy boyfriend hath given up.” Mercurymon says as he lands next to Ken. Ken looks at him and then up. He was right. Somehow Yamato ended up on the ground with both Taichi and Daisuke on top of him. Yamato was cursing out the both of them as the two boys smile. Ken rolls his eyes.

“You would think he would learn by now to not fall for Daisuke's tricks.” Ken mumbles to himself. Making Mercurymon and Stingmon laugh.

“Nev'r going to befall.” Mercurymon counters as Stingmon nods in agreement.

“Whatever,” Ken says as Koji releases him. Ken then looks over Koji's shoulder and smiles in curiosity. “Who are you?” Koji blinks in confusion, while Koichi smiles as the other spirits appear.

“Hello, Ken. I'm Lobomon, the Warrior of Light. I'm Koji partner.” Lobomon says from behind Koji.

“Beetlemon is my name. Warrior of Thunder is my game.” Beetlemon says from J.P.'s side.

“I'm Kazemon, dear. I'm the Warrior of Wind.” Kazemon says as she stands next to Agunimon. Agunimon smiles widely at him and gives him a wave.

“Hi, Ken. I'm Agunimon and I'm the Warrior of Flames.”

“Hi, Ken. I'm Kumamon, the Warrior of Ice.”

“Yo, I'm Arbormon, the Warrior of Wood.”

“It's nice to meet you.

“Whither is that nuisance, Grumblemon?” Mercurymon asks with a hint of annoyances.

“With his partner,” J.P. answers. “Anyway, my name is Shibayama Junpei, but you can call me J.P.” Ken smiles at J.P. and shakes his offered hand.

“Hi, Ken! I'm Himi Tomoki, but please call me Tommy! We teammates now!” Ken blushes slightly at Tommy's energy as the kid gives him a cake box. “This is for you! My mom and I made it! She says that cake always makes people feel better.” All the Warriors, except Yuaka, who was groaning, was laughing softly. “And this is my big brother Yuaka!” The boy in question covers his younger brother's mouth with his hand and tries to restrain him before he bounces off to the moon.

“My name is Yuaka. I am soooo sorry. Please just ignore him when he's like this. He had too much sugar this morning.” Yuaka smiled apologetically.

Ken laughs softly in amusement, a soft blush tinting his cheeks. “It's alright. I'm used to have very energetic people around me. Tommy's energy is nothing compared to my best friend and his boyfriend.” Yuaka removed his hand nervously at the mention of someone being worse then his brother. At this Ken just waved his nervous smile away with a kind smile, which seemed to but Tommy's older brother at ease.

“Anyway, my turn,” Takuya said, picking up the introductions. “I'm Kanbara Takuya, Leader of the Warriors.”

“And I'm Orimoto Izumi, but you can call me Zoe. It's very nice to meet you.”
