Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Digital Trilogy - Episode 5 - A Phoenix from the Ashes ❯ Chapter 1

Episode 5 - A Phoenix from the Ashes

Kari does have one of the strongest digimon in existence, but she is not a strong person. She is emotional and unreliable in solitary or leadership positions. Or at least she was.

This episode starts just after Kovin, Kelryn, Yolei and Izzy left for North America and follows the other half of the group.

Chapter 1

"How's this?" Allura asked, handing a baby bottle to Kari. Kari took the bottle and shook a few drops of the cream coloured fluid on her exposed arm.

"That's about right." She said and walked out of the kitchen to the living room where Azuma was just waking up in his cradle. She picked him up and started feeding him.

"Have you seen how many channels Kovin gets?" TK asked from the couch.

"Yeah. But surprisingly you never see him watching it." Allura said sitting beside him.

"One thing I have seen him use in the Internet. And this is one hell of a connection." Ken said from the computer. "How does he afford this?"

"I asked you guys over to help," said Kari. "Not to move in." Ken didn't stop surfing the Internet, and TK didn't stop looking through channels. Kari turned away in disgust continuing to feed the infant.

After dinner, they had effectively moved in. The coffee table was covered with empty chip bags, pizza boxes and pop cans. Kari had given up trying to keep them out, and just made them all promise to clean the apartment when they left. Azuma had gone to sleep early and left Kari able to join the others watching some old horror movie.

They were settling into a quiet evening when all four digivices starting emitting warning tones. "Great." Said TK. "Looks like at least six of them fighting. We better get down there."

"What about Azuma?" Kari asked.

"I'll watch him." Allura said. TK, Kari and Ken left the apartment building on foot to stop yet another fight.

They found themselves in the middle of the deserted street, four weaker digimon fighting three stronger ones. The two factions were fighting bitterly hard. The Guardians were spellbound by the sight; here were rogue digidestined fighting together as teams. None knew if it was an isolated incident, or if there were more teams of them. They also didn't know about the team assaulting Kovin and Kelryn in America.

"We don't have the strength to beat this directly. We have to stop the humans." Ken said.

"No way, we can hit them directly. None of them are higher than ultimate." TK countered. "What do you think Kari?" Ken also turned to seek her ideas.

"Why are you asking me?" She said.

"We need your opinion too." Ken said.

"I think Ken's right. We should try to detain the humans." Kari said.

"On it." TK said, turning to Patamon

Patamon digivolve to ... Angemon digivolve to ... Magnaangemon

Wormmon digivolve to ... Stingmon digivolve to ... Paildramon

Gatomon digivolve to ... Angewomon

TK, Kari, and Ken watched their three ultimate digimon take to the sky, vaulting over the clashing fighters to find the human partners. The Tyranomon reached up and pulled Paildramon down and threw him against the asphalt. Magnaangemon and Angewomon both struck out at him sending him back. When the three turned back to their task, they saw all seven of the enemy digimon turn and engage.

"Celestial Arrow!" Angewomon fired her attacks fast and hard, until a swinging tail brought her to the ground, cracking the road.

"Angel Sword!" Magnaangemon was slicing back and forth, but there were too many targets, too many distractions, and he soon he the ground and reverted to Patamon.

"Desperado Blaster!" Paildramon fired his own attacks as hard as he could to make time for the angels to get back on their feet, but it was too little too late and he was also blown across the street and reverted to Wormmon. He was standing on his own ready to attack, knowing it wasn't going to do any good, while defending Patamon who was holding an unconscious Salamon.

The three humans backed against the wall, but in the fashion of all cornered animals they drew their weapons. Kari gripped two throwing stars in each hand, TK had his pair of sidearms out and Ken had his one with a new laser sight. Two young men, no older then the rest came foreword. They were obviously the leaders of each of the two factions that had attacked. Kari saw that every remaining human was female, and none were Japanese.

"See? I told you it was them!" One said with a thick Russian accent.

"Well, three of them at least." The other said, also with the accent. The Guardians had questions to ask about that, but held it.

"So let us kill them and get it done."

"The cannon is not done, we have to wait. But we can not let them follow us." All three and their digimon tensed. The two boys in front of them looked up. Kari, Ken, and TK followed their gaze where two others were perched on the fire escape with bars. In a flash they descended hitting the boys over the head on the way. TK and Ken fell against each other and then to the ground. Kari looked up with no colour in her face. She was looking back and forth fast, backing up in a sheer panic trying to avoid the attackers. In her confusion she lost count of how many she was supposed to watch out for, and the missing number hit her from behind. She fell, and fell hard.

Kari opened her eyes to see Allura leaning over her changing a cold cloth. "Where am I?" She asked. Allura smiled quickly at the cliché everyone who was ever knocked out asks when they wake up.

"You're in Kovin's apartment. Patamon came back to get me. Do you know any way to explain getting three knocked out humans and a mutant cat, also out cold, into a cab to its driver?" Kari would have smiled if she remained awake. TK and Ken were up, having not been hit as hard.

"Just let her sleep a bit." TK said. "How's Azuma?"

"He's asleep, for now." Allura said coldly. "I can tell he's ready to make some move against me."

"You talk like's he's an evil genius." Ken said.

"Yeah, well, look at who his parents are. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the kid was capable of world nomination." Allura said before opening a beer.

Ken and TK joined her, and started talking. "So we have a problem to figure out." Ken said. TK reached down and scratched the head of the sleeping Patamon.

"Yes, they're fighting in groups, they know a lot about us, and they're constructing a weapon."
