Chapter 2
The fallen and the brave

Disclaimer: I do not own any right to TOEI or digimon but I do know them they are still great friends to have.

In the far off darkness we stand waiting for a new hero. We held it greatly for destiny to meet up with us again. Does this kid have a normal life? No we set him up now we bring the darkness to fall upon him so he can descend and fight with the ones he loves. Now it is live or die no matter what we cant change destiny or better yet we cant cheat. Can we?

I breathed in and out slowly so that I could focus on the kill. I darted towards him I ran and ran so did he. Do I know my self? Not relay but I know I am one to fight. I jumped and kicked him in the side of the head hoping to at least knock him out. And it worked! I quickly landed and started for Gato. I grabbed her and ran towards the woods that led to the tower to put an end to destiny or I could cheat it so I can at least live. But destiny wasn’t the case but fighting is. I made it into the woods I set Gato down so she could roam. “I can’t believe this. I am all of a sudden a warrior to fight these people’s lord?” I said with a growl in my voice.

“There could be a bonus to this you can make your parents proud in heaven!” Gato said sarcastically.

“Ohh yeah my dad is going to love this. Oh hey dad. Hey Ryan how is your day. Oh dad you know saving digimon and also watching them having sex right in front of me same old same old.” I guess I went over board on that. “Sorry didn’t mean it.”
Gato stopped talking to me for the rest of the night. I sat up against a tree looking up into the moon that was covered by some clouds and the sky was also filled with stars almost like an ocean filled. “Hey dad sorry I did not talk to you sooner but as you can hopefully see I had a lot in my hands. So how is it up there in heaven is it paradise like people said? Well anyway I need your help. I made Gato mad. But she is a girl still even though she is a digimon don’t get her wrong! But how did you handle it? Oh well thanks dad give my grace to mom and Beth also please. Bye dad let you rest in peace.” I thought and thought for the rest of that night and it was like it would never end. After a while the sun started to rise up again and Gato got up quietly. I had already made breakfast but I did not eat any of it because I had a nervous gut at the time. We headed towards the tower. It was opened but the guards looked almost surprised to see us. “Halt who are you and what is your business here?”

“My name is Ryan A Cruey and I am here to put an end to this nonsense that you call a lord or a god I don’t care though he is no god!” I said to the guards

“I am Gatomon I am his guide through this world at least be respectful and let us in keep you honor.” Gato said knowing what would happen.
She was right they weren’t evil at all they where just doing what they where told to do but they did not get the order to attack just to tell them who we where. We started going to the first floor I walked slowly saving my energy to fight what ever came in contact with me. As soon as we made it to the first floor we entered a door the led us into a wide opened room and stood at the other side blocking the path was a cloaked shadow figure. Who ever it was it started walking towards me. When it hit the center the hood was blocking his or her face so I could not tell who it was. “Who are you?” I asked.

“What don’t remember me? Ill give you a clue looks like a boy sounds like a boy OH GUESS WHAT I AM A GUY!” He was giving a smart-ass remark.

“Oh wow I am so proud of you did you finally get a dick?” I asked playing the same card as he was.

“Heh still the same as always. How does the time go by.” He took off his hood and my eyes widened with shock.

“No…you where dead…. Can it be.”? I was stunned to see him I thought he died after the fire. “F-F-Father?”

He laughed then nodded. “I was given a second chance to live but I had to train or “Fight” my son so that you can be strong enough to fight the lord of this tower.” I nodded at him giving him the I understand signal. We stood there looking at each other but he was looking at me because he hasn’t seen me in a long time. “Ryan you have changed. The same cloak im wearing but underneath it you wear the coat your mother gave to you. Why don’t you take off the cloak and fight with the honor that revenge is good to play by.” I was confused at the revenge but I took off the cloak like asked. I reveled the red coat with the cross on it. “I had kept it safe all of this time.”

“So Ryan what is your fighting style?” He asked. I thought for a minute I didn’t relay have one but I wanted to learn how to release my spiritual pressure and use my spiritual sword.

“Okay I know hand to hand and a lot with daggers but I want to learn how to use my Dragon chaos blade.” I said

“Well then lets get started.” For almost a day I had to fight and train I had eaten and rested but it was a day that I had longed forgotten. After the day was over I was able to gain the weapon of my spirit it was powerful but the only way I could make it more powerful was with my feelings. My anger would make it valor. My sorrow would make it stronger than ever. My love for justice to save and to help will make me learn my lotus attack. I wasn’t ready to wield such a great force but to be honest I didn’t have a choice. Not just my strength but my speed also increased. But I have a limit even for me having all of this power. After a while I bided my farewells with my dad and went on to the next floor. I also got information on this tower. “The tower of memories. Your most special worst and any other memory will be brought back for you to face.” I learned that so I was prepared.
When we had gotten to the second floor I pulled out the sword I had trained for to get. It was a black katanna that was made of dragon scales a tough blade for a tough person. We where in an outside looking area in an open field the sky was blue the filed of grass wasn’t grass but yet cherry blossoms. The wind gusted off of the grass making it look almost like it was snowing. Then another one of the cloaked people came towards me but with the hood off this time. It was Marie. “Hello Ryan long time no see.” She said. The thing about Marie was that she always wanted to be apart of the “in crowd” so that she could have more sex and boyfriends with just the popularity. “Yeah it sure had been a long time and I wish it would of stayed that way.” I replied.

“This is your field of happiness. This is your happy thought. Nothing to out of the ordinary, But I need to tell you this. There is a good reason why I am here. Power!” She told me.

“How can this be my happy thoughts if you want power?” I asked

“Because you get the joy of killing me or at least for me to see that you have the guts to do so or if you don’t.” She stuck her thumb on her neck giving me the death her neck giving me the death sign. I nodded to that. She had become a rouge so she could use daggers and magic like her favriorte Final Fantasy charter Yuna. I pulled out my sword and stood into my stance form. “Ready when you are. How about you make the first move?” I asked. She nodded. She lunged herself at me I thought this would be easy but is life ever easy? When I swung towards her she vanished and reappeared right behind me but I caught on to this so I ducked so she missed but when she did this I kicked upward but she had also gotten even more faster and dogged it. I flipped back onto my feet and she flung her self back at me again. She used the right dagger to swing upward I dogged it but the left one cut my leg I jumped back. “Damn it you got fast!” I said. She giggled at that “Hey thanks for the complement.” I started towards her this time swinging at her stomach when she dogged it I kicked at her feet and she got tripped as soon as I tripped her I heel kicked her in the stomach to the ground. I did a good job on it to it made a crater. She stood up slowly. “Though you may had became tough but remember..” She started turning into something. “You will not defeat a monster will you?” The sky started to turn black and the grass started to catch on fire. The wind once cold became hot and hard to breath in. “Your night mare brought back to you and this time I will make these fools that I hired pay later for not finishing the job completely!” She turned in to a devil looking monster. I latched my coat on tighter. I pulled out the cross that was in my pocket and hung it around my neck. “Those stand on God’s land that is an unholy spirit will dye by the hand of the messenger.” I turned and looked at Gato she was watching from a distance. Marie was fully transformed and started throwing fireballs at me. I dogged them swiftly and darted towards her. I was dogging the fire left and right as I got close enough I jumped and sliced at her leg. My sword wasn’t strong enough to even scratch her. I thought for a minute and got on my knees and started to pray. “Dear lord let me pass judgment onto this soul so that I may pass I beg of you please give me the power to defeat this reached demon. I beg of you lord!” My body and sword started to glow after I had done that. I picked up my sword and stood up slowly to give the power look. I first tested my speed. I disappeared so fast that I could not keep up. I cut right throw her in a flash. Apparently that’s all I had to do. “Ryan you had done well and now I may let you pass the next task is to be able to control your powers and be able to show them off.”
Marie had vanished and I moved onto the next floor hoping to have a good lesson from this one. When Gato and me reached the next floor we saw that this one looked dead on like the 1st floor. We waited for the next task and for the next teacher or guardian. After I had waited for a while the second guardian came to me. “You must be tired. Would you like to rest?” The voice said almost kindly.

“Sorry but even if tired I must not stop from saving Vee and the others. Though this should be fun saving Patamon. Never says thank you.” I laughed. The figure did not laugh so much. “Space, time, life, the crescent moon all of these are key centers of your mind and body. If you can understand why these are yours then you are ready for the training.” I thought for a minute on it. Time is the relevant force that is capable of trenching your world’s limit. Space is endless so time functions not there. Life is what kept me up to my feet to save. Last is the moon. My embodiment of peace and tranquility and nothing seems to split me up there. “I know what they mean. Space has no time if you cant keep it up. Time keeps earth at ease. Life is what gave me strength to fight and live on. The moon keeps me at peace.” I explained. I could of sworn the figure smiled. He walked up towards me and took off his hood. “I don’t seem to know you. But nice to meet you ms..”

“You know me as the voice in your head but call me Silver no ms intended.” She said

I smiled and nodded. “Nice to meet you Silver.” I said. “Ryan what if we cant trust her? She looks fishy.” Gato said.

“What are you finally going to talk to me?” I asked.

“Ya know what I’ll just keep my mouth shut.” She said “Why are you doing this all I said.. Never mind.” I walked over to silver. “So what do I need to do to learn how to control all of my power?” She glanced over my shoulder looking at Gato the sighed.

“First thing is you have to make peace with her.” She pointed towards Gato.

I nodded and walked over towards her. “Look we might have difference’s but we need to make up and save our friends I am going to say this so please understand IM SORRY! Please forgive me and lets train to save!” I guess that’s all it took because as soon as I said that she smiled and nodded. We turned back and faced silver. “I’m ready.” She nodded.

“The first step is to make sure your well balanced. You spiritual powers…” She explained the whole concept of yin and yang. The separate balances of power. We spent the 3 days learning new steps new threats tricks power everything.

“Ryan. Before you go I wanted to give you two things.” Silver said. I walked over to her. “Yes?” I asked. She put her arms around my head and gave me a hug. “Fight for the right things.” She whispered into my ear. She then put an emulate around my neck. “This is the dragons eye of tans it will only work when you fight the dark lords 3 staged form.” I thanked her for everything. I kissed her on the cheek. “A good bye gift if I don’t see you again.” I told her. “Just get out alive!” She said to me.
After we said good-bye Gato and me went onto the next floor. This time the field of battle was a field in the nighttime. The moon let up the sky and you could hear the ocean roar. We where on a beach. Another one of the hooded figures came onto the sand. “Are you the so called threat I have to take care of? Huh. Who would of guessed I would have to fight an old friend of mine.” The figure said as he took off his hood. This one I could not even believe. “Lenny. I guess the dead have to fight anyway.” HE laughed at the remark. “I think you still remember this place do you not Ryan.”

“Oh how could I forget this is where I first saw you fucking Marie and also that was when she was my girlfriend. The depression drove me so insane that I jumped off a cliff and yet I was alive to tell the talk of the way I was saved.” I said

“Oh come on even thought this is the world of the next you know damn well that she did not even like you.”

“She could of told me! Stop talking lets settle this our way.” I said.

This time I threw the first shot. I ran towards him I disappeared with the remarkable speed I had acquired. But when I made the move Lenny noticed it and stepped to the side and while I wized by he grabbed the back of my shirt and flung me into the water. I pulled out my scythe and stood up fast and the drips of water went past my face. “Ah new trick huh?” I ran towards him. He ducked as I swung upward and jumped when I swung downward. He pulled out a long sword and started clanging with my scythe. I finally pulled back to fire something new. I pointed my index finger in to the gun formation. “SPIRIT SHOT!” All my energy focused into a ball of light and I shot it. I hit him but while not looking he threw both his daggers at me. One of them hit my stomach and the other hit my leg. Lenny disappeared and I collapsed on to the ground. Gato ran towards me. “Ryan you will be alright I promise you this.” I looked up. She was blurry it was because I was about to pass out I had enough time to say some words. “G-Gato I. I need you t-o Help me.” I could not finish like I planned I blacked out.


***************************************Dream***************************


I awoke in the ocean and it was cold. It sent a shock down my spine. I stood up and started limping towards the sand. But I couldn’t even make it. “Why?” I asked.
A dragon appeared he was blue and looked similar to Vee but was taller but looked like flame too. “Castral? Is it relay you?”

“Never call me by that name. I will never forgive you for forgetting me and never letting me back now you are my enemy RYAN A CRUEY!” He screamed my name. Black shadowy hand lifted from the ground and started grabbing my arms and legs. I started to freak out and tried to run.


******************************END OF DREAM***************************


As I awoke I lifted up slowly. It was nighttime. Gato sleeping by my side. “The friend I had forgotten is now my enemy? Now I know the world goes on and on for know reason. Can I kill him?” I did not have an answer. But I know I must fight to save Vee Pata and everyone else. “But can I?”

Is it another one? Is this one Evil? Or misunderstood? The life of friends is in your heart I tie mine to my heart so I never let them go. But now I had lost one and he is now my enemy what do I do.

TO BE CONTINUED.

I hope you enjoyed.

By the way thank you lord Patamon for the inspiration for me to right you may not know it but you have been a big help.
