Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Spectrum ❯ Violet ( Chapter 7 )

Ok, in the last chapter, we learned Kari is still afraid of the dark, Wizardmon is still waiting to be reuploaded to the digital plane, and the author is a rampant Takari shipper(oh c'mon, u didn't guess?!)

Now Kari "is her own nightlight" and she's back with Gatomon and Tai. Will they ever catch up with the rest of their friends?

Btw, for those who don't want to do the math, Sora and Mimi are 21, Matt and Tai are 22, TK and Kari are18, and Izzy(Koushiro) is 21. Biyomon, Palmon, Agumon, Gabumon , and Tentomon are approx. 19-20, Patamon is approx. 18, Gatomon would be 18-20(have u heard her Jap. VA? She sounds so old!!) *human years* (make note of this!)

The Reply
(a/n- to void confusion, sentences in <""> indicate the destined's thought replies)

He blinked. They blinked back. He raised his right arm. They raised their right arms.

"Curious." They all agreed.

He raised his left leg. Half of them raised theirs. Some just stood there, and some waved on.

Izzy blinked in shock. Now *that* was anomalous.

He raised his right arm again, and some rolled their eyes. Only a couple bothered to follow suit.

"What's going on?

"I should think you'd already know." sniffed one of the other Izzy's, crossing his arms haughtily.

"Maybe he can't! Maybe to learn that would destroy us!" another squealed. The first rolled his eyes in disgust.

"The premise of your statement appears to be based on the hypothetical and not on the factual." yet another Izzy replied coolly.

"Oy vey." Koushiro muttered. What was Gennai trying to pull? "Man, I wish Tentomon was here."

"Why?"

Koushiro looked down in surprise. This Izzy was small-the child version of himself. He was even wearing the same clothes Koushiro wore when he first arrived in the Digital World ten years ago.

"Why? Because at least I'd have someone different to figure all this out with."

"Why?"

"Because sometimes it helps to have a different point of view."

"Why?"

"Because if everyone had the same point of view, nothing new would be discovered."

"Why?"

Jeeze, what was with this kid?! "As I've already stated, if everyone saw things the same way, no one would find new possibilities for an object. For example, one man years ago was fixing up some machinery with standard parts when he realized the potential of the spring coils he was using. Thus, today we have the Slinky™."

"How do we make discoveries?"

Koushiro bit his lip to keep from screaming.

"Well, aren't you going to answer him?" snapped the first Izzy.

"Affirmative. It is your obligation to acknowledge the child." added the third Izzy. Many of the Izzys behind him nodded.

"Maybe we don't have to know!" wailed the second.

"But the answer's already been given! We make discoveries by changing our point of view!!" Koushiro threw up his hands in exasperation.

The Izzy's were silent. Koushiro stared back, panting slightly. Had he missed something?

<"We make discoveries by changing our point of view!!"> All right, but how? What was the idea or thing that was waiting for a new chance? He sighed wearily, and looked back to the kid.

"What is the Digital World composed of?" questioned the little one.

"It's composed of flora and fauna of a variety of colors, shapes, sizes, and intelligence. There's...soil and air and water that allow survival of the species-"

"As well as the necessary global shifts that keep the mantle and crust replenishing itself." finished the third Izzy.

"What is the Earth compose of?" the little one queried again.

Koushiro glanced at the other Izzy, but he made no move to answer. It was up to him again. "The Earth is also comprised of a variety of organisms. We have the proper nutrients in relative abundance, and yes, plate tectonics."

"So it sounds like the Earth and the Digital World are basically the same."

It sounded more like a statement than a question. Koushiro nodded. "Well...yes, you could say that. Except there aren't any bugs three stories tall."

"Then why do you think they're not?"

Koushiro was taken aback. "I never said-"

It's not what you said, it's what you implied!" snarled a very angry looking Izzy.

"Oh, oh, we're in trouble now!" squealed Izzy number two.

"You always stated that you wanted to go back to the 'Real World'. If both worlds are made of the same materials, and follow basically the same rules of nature and physics, how can one be considered more real than the other?!"

He had never thought about it. The Digital World wasn't his true home, so, in a sense, it never really was real. The same way when you moved to another town, it never felt as real as your old town.

"Curious."

He was beginning to see. By changing his view of the Digital World, he had discovered a nasty little bugger-that he may have unintentionally offended those he cared about.

"I see...I'm sorry. I-I never realized....but I know now, and I will ensure that the others are made awares!" he finished with determination, smacking his balled-up fist into the other.

"Forgiven."

Koushiro opened his eyes. All the other Izzys had vanished, save the youngest, who was smiling impishly.

"Who *were* they?"

"Oh, just various aspects of yourself." the duplicate replied airily, as if this type of situation occurred all the time.

"And you?" Koushiro asked, kneeling to eye level.

"I am what you were, what you are, and what you will be. I am the lightning of your mind and soul. I am a harbinger of death, but when harnessed and respected, I am a harbinger of information and power."

"Huh?"

The boy simply shrugged. "I am your curiosity, let's leave it at that."

The child prodigy calmly stepped forward and into Koushiro's body. The pain that followed was intense-he truly felt like he was being electrocuted! His mind screamed, his body screamed, he screamed.

Then it all went black.

Destination

Izzy groaned as his eyes flickered open. Blue skies greeted him, soft breezes caressed his cheek.

"IZZY!!"

"KOUSHIRO!!"

The voices brought him back to full reality. Unfortunately, that meant a lot of pain. He whimpered as he tried to move.

"Oh my gosh! Izzy, are you okay?" Tentomon hovered barely inches from his prone body, a worried non-expression on his face.

"Uhhh.....wha' happened?"

"Koushiro! Ye were hit by a bolt o' lightning! Strike me dead if it weren't the devil o' a surprise!"

Hey, he knew that voice. The accent was a bit thicker than he remembered, but...

"Serena...Serenam-"

"Hush now, ye fool." she cooed softly, fussing over him. "What a daft thing to happen, on a beautiful day like this."

"Bolt from the blue..." Izzy chuckled, which ended up in a coughing fit.

"Relax Izzy. Don't talk. Now, is anything broken?"

Eyes closed, the computer wiz smiled at the bug. "I believe you just told me not to talk."

The flying fighter buzzed in annoyance. "Just tell us what's wrong!"

Izzy sighed and opened his eyes. "I'm just sore, really. I was having this weird dream...there were all these other Izzy's there, and the smallest ran into me and that's when it began to hurt." The two digimon cast odd looks at each other.

The human tried to sit up. The pain was slipping further and further away. "Uh, listen guys..." he shifted a bit awkwardly. "this dream, I believe, was trying to tell me something. I-I'm sorry if I have offended you."

The girl and boy looked at each other in terror, and Serenamon quickly threw a hand on his forehead while Tentomon checked his pulse against a non-existent watch.

"Guuuys!" Izzy sweatdropped, "I'm okay! Really! I just meant, y'know, how we always kept referring to our world as the 'Real' world."

"Oh that?" Tentomon exclaimed. "No biggie. We understood what you really meant by it."

"You did?"

"Mm-hmm."

"And you're both okay with that/"

"Sure. Friends don't nit-pick over little things, Izzy. Unless you're Matt and Tai."

"Aw! C'mere, big guy!" The black-eyed man glomped the metal beetle. Serenamon giggled as she watched Tentomon flail helplessly and demand release. Then she gasped and quickly jumped back as sparks flew from the two males.

"Ow! Why'd you shock *me* for?"

"Me?! *You're* the one who shocked me!"

"Boys, BOYS! If truth be told, I think ye both shocked the other! although I cannae say for sure..."

"Mm. That's not a good sign. I think we should see Joe."

"But we don't even know if he's here!" wailed Tentomon.

"Joe....Joe, wasn't he the tall one? With the blue hair-"

"-And glasses. Yeah, that's him. Why?"

"Oh!" the pale womon smiled brightly, exposing her fangs. "I believe I saw the lad down by th'shore. Can ye walk, Koushiro? it's not far."

"I think I can handle it." was his chipper reply.

Evidently, he couldn't, for he lost his balance and would've ended up with a broken nose if she hadn't caught him. Laughing, he looked up to find himself an inch or so from her face. they both blushed and mumbled their courtesies, conscious of the memories of their last moment together.

*We make discoveries by changing our point of view. one world is no less real than the other*

The crackly voice repeated itself in his mind as they walked toward the beach in awkward silence.

Why was it going through his head now? He glanced at his traveling companion. Was it her? Was it Serenamon? Sure, she was pretty and extremely humanlike(save for the fangs and incredible strength), and unlike most humanoid digimon, was roughly the same size as him. She was cute. And a good kisser.

But she is a digimon! And a *virus* at that! He was a human! It wasn't even likely to be possible!

*One world is no less real than the other. We make discoveries by changing our point of view*

Izzy nodded softly. He was getting the feeling this was going to be a hell of a trip.



And a hell of a write-up! Joe's next!!! Then we gotta figure out where everybody is, and what the hell is going on!!!
