Unenlightened 9
It was simply Ron and Rachel. They where dressed in street clothes. How they got here I had no idea,why they where here I also had no idea,I made it clear that I wasn't coming back,but it wasn't them I was focused on. Instead it was the ones behind them.
"But that's impossible.."i said vacantly
"Can we come in or do we need to stand out here,this is important Blake and we don't know where else to turn."Rachel said
"Yes....come in....."I said hesitantly
They walked past me,all of them into the family room of my house. I was absentmindedly watching the other two guests. I looked out the door,to see if there was anyone watching. There where none. I closed the door and looked towards my guests.
"You...how....But I thought."I blurted out
"We know,but it looks like things are changing and we need your help."Rachel said
"But thats impossible,i thought Exveemon was the only one. But now im seeing both a gatomon,and a black war greymon,speaking of which aren't you supposed to be a lot taller?"I asked
The Black war greymon looked at me,and so did the gatomon,Rachel and Ron just stood there."Blake they are after us you know,we don't have much time they could be anywhere."Ron said obviously scared.
"Who is after you?"i asked
"The military,when they found these two with us they wanted to do the same thing to us that they almost did to you,use us for war. And before you ask we where there when you said to the president that you would not be a puppet,you just didn't notice us,and now they want us."Rachel explained
"And they are still after you,you might think they are done with you but that's not true,you are on their list and so is Exveemon,they wont stop until they have all our power."Ron said
"But I....No I wont let them,we just want a peaceful life,i wont be used for war. Why did you come to me,what can I do?"I asked
"You can help us learn,we don't know anything about digimon,we need someone who can help us learn that your our only option."Rachel said
I shook my head."I don't know much,how can I help if I barley know anything besides watching those old animes And the digivice is new to me,its not one from the show,i don't know how we can help...Hold on let me get Exveemon."
I quickly rushed past them and into the hallway,then into my room. Exveemon was waiting on my bed."So who was it?"He asked I just grabbed his arm and pulled him into a standing position."We have more problems now."I quickly said
Exveemon got the hint and followed me out the door of my room and into the family room. When we got there his eyes widened as well. He saw the two digimon and I stopped him and explained when he asked. Once done he looked at me.
"Shit..."he said"what do we do now?"He asked
"We don't know,but we need to find out,they are still after us if what they said was true."i said
"Look can we just stay the night at least,we will try to find out more,but for now it isn't safe to go outdoors."Ron said
"Fine luckily I think my dad is working today,if I slept as long as I think I did, Black war greymon,gatomon can you stay in here so that no one finds us out?"I asked
They both nodded."Ron,Rachel did you by chance get a digivice when they appeared?"
"Yea we both did,here."Rachel told me
She and Ron pulled out two digivces from their pockets. Rons was bronze plated and Rachels was silver plated. I looked at them,they looked exactly like mine."Ok good,i don't know what most of the buttons do,but this one sucks energy and data from the surrounding area,so don't push that one unless you really need to get them to digivolve."
"Ok so don't push that one,what else do you know?"
"Really thats all I know for sure,but these buttons here seem to scroll through anything stored in the digivice."I said
They nodded."So what now,we just wait in here and hope they don't find us?"
"Well I doubt they would openly attack us in this community,and besides they want us alive,they will probably wait for us to leave,and we cant stay in here forever."i said
"Well for now lets see what we can do."Ron said I nodded Ron and Rachel sat down on my couch,and gatomon jumped into Rachel's lap. Black war greymon just stood,looking at me. I ignored him and focused on exveemon. He was looking around. But other than that I had no idea what to do.
Exveemon looked at me,and I shook my head."well lets just try to think of somewhere other than this to go. This wont do,its too small,and it would be better to get some distance from this place."I said
"Good idea,but remember I don't know this area,so your going to have to think of something."Exveemon said to me.
I sighed. Even I had no real idea of where to go. I thought about it but nothing came to my head."Look I don't know where to go,i have no one,this is the only place I've got."
"Shit,then how the hell are we going to survive,they could find us at any moment,and then what? Huh what do we do then?"Ron asked me
"Don't pin this on me your asking someone who doesn't have a lot of experience in this sort of thing,how am I supposed to help?!"I asked back
"Look we have to find something but you're right we cant just hope you know everything,but you know this place better than us,so you have a better chance."Rachel told me
"I don't know! I'm being overwhelmed,Ok all of this is such bullshit,i don't want to be used,i just want peace! The fucking military has to fuck that all up and now we have two other digimon to watch over,and I don't know where to go! I don't know!"i yelled
Everyone stopped,Exveemon walked up to me and tried to grab my arm. But I pulled away."NO don't Exveemon,i don't want sympathy right now I want a normal life!"I said before storming off to my room,and slamming the door closed. I sat down on my bed,and before long I found I was crying. I hated all of this. I heard the door to my room slowly open,and soon later I felt Exveemons strong arms wrap around me.
"Hey,hey its OK Blake."He told me
"No its not..I just want a normal life,i always wished for something like this,but now that I have it,it isn't all fun and games,i always dreamed for an adventure,and someone to love,and to be free. But now I see that it comes with prices,I just want to be left alone."
"Hey im here for you,look its not your fault you could have never predicted this this would happen,and you still have me,OK?"Exveemon asked
I looked up at him,and he hugged me tighter."OK"I said softly.
"good now why don't we just get some rest,i doubt that they will attack us here in an open community,just lie back,ill be here."Exveemon said
I followed his instruction and lied down on my bed,Exveemon lied down as well behind me and hugged me from behind and wrapped his wings around me in a loving embrace."Its OK."He told me. We stayed in that position for a while,just lying there. I felt myself get better over time,and soon I felt ok enough to move again. I didn't move far though only just turned around to face Exveemon.
"What do we do now?"I asked
Exveemon looked at me and gave me a small kiss."Now we find a way to live happily,with no worries,and no regrets. If we must fight then we will do just that,so we can be happy."
"But I don't want to fight,i just want peace."
"Everything must have fighting,its just the way the world works,but if it means I can be with you,I will fight for you."Exveemon replied
I looked down,obviously saying I didn't like this,but he was right,eventually it would come down to a fight"OK."I said and Exveemon pulled me up into a sitting position between his legs with my back resting on his chest.
"I know you don't want this,but it is inevitable,and we must fight for what we believe in and fight for what is right."He said softly
I just sat there and took in his words."But if we can,can we try to find a peaceful solution?"I asked
"yes we will try everything to keep the fighting down,but I can't promise anything,im sorry my love."He replied
I sat there for a few moments,thinking. About what I didn't know,but I sat there. Eventually I moved again,this time out of his grasp and stood. I was still sad,but even I knew reason. I would have to fight at one point."So what do we do?"I asked Exveemon
"Now we find a way to keep us from being attacked,most likely they wont attack us in the open,so it might be best to stay here,but even we cannot stay here forever,but we can stay here for now,until we find a better solution."
I nodded,and left the room. Ron and Rachel as well as their digimon where waiting in the family room. When they saw me Rachel stood,as did Ron.
"look Blake,we are sorry,we..."
"Its alright,but I just want a peaceful life,i cant offer anything now,but ill try and think of something. But for now we have to stay here."I said
"Alright,we will find something out,can we sleep here,for now?"Rachel asked
"Yea,you can,but it will be tight,ill sleep in my room with Exveemon,and you four can share the family and living rooms,Ill call my dad and tell him that you will be here. He wont like it,but ill tell you that you are friends."
They all nodded."Im going to go and sleep this off,i need some time alone with Exveemon,so we can talk."I told them
I then headed back to my room and shut the door. Exveemon was still sitting on my bed. HE welcomed me with open arms,and pulled me into his lap. I put my head to his chest,and listened to his heartbeat. I was sad,and hopeless. But he made me feel better. I got out of his grip and lied on the bed,exveemon followed again and slipped behind me.
"Do you want to sleep?"He asked
I nodded."Then here,lets get some sleep,and tomorrow we can focus more on things. I love you OK?"He asked
"OK."I replied before closing my eyes,and drifting off to sleep.
When I woke again,it was early morning. The sun had just risen and was shinning slightly through my window. Exveemon was still clutching me,but I wiggled around and he woke up. We didn't say anything to each other,instead we just got up and walked to the kitchen and started some breakfast. Ron and Rachel as well as their digimon where asleep in two couches and a recliner.
When I started breakfast they slowly woke up one by one,we all ate some simple eggs that I had made,and waited. By seven I waited in the family room for my dad,everyone was tense. Soon I heard footsteps at the door,and the sound of a turning lock,and my dad stepped through the door.Before he could say anything though I stood and walked to him.
"Dad,this is going to sound weird,but these are my friends,and they need to stay here for a while until we can find a better place to go,i can't say much more,but I hope you will understand."I said to him
My dad looked at me for a second and then to the guests I had. He sighed.
"If you need anything I will help,but please,don't do anything stupid. But just tell me this isn't anything you did."He said
"If you think this is something bad that I did,it isn't,I know this will be hard,but people are after us for reasons,and no they aren't reasons like debt or drugs or murder,but instead its military. Dad while I was gone,we where fighting and being used,and now they want us back. I can't say much more,but please we just need a place to stay that's safe."I told him
My father sighed"This is a lot to take in,but I believe you,ever since Exveemon came into your life things have gone out of control,but I know he will keep you safe,Just promise me you will come back. OK"
I nodded,but a part of me wanted to say no. I hugged him,and said OK.
"then if you need somewhere to stay,i will let you stay here."He said before walking off to his room.
I looked at everyone else. They nodded their heads,and I knew I had at least done good. I walked back to Exveemon and hugged him. He hugged back."So now what?"I asked
"Now we find a way to avoid the military,we might even have to leave soon."Ron said"And that may mean leaving the country,but knowing the government we are already on a no fly list,so we will have to think of a way."
"But where would we go?"I asked
"I don't know..."
"Obviously we aren't safe,even going to another country might not work."Rachel told us
"Then what? We just wait?"I asked
"No,we fight,until they back down and leave us alone."Ron said
Exveemon nodded,and hugged me harder."What if I could digivolve into imperialdramon again? What if we could fight back?"He asked
"And what,cause a conflict? We don't want to be terrorists,or whatever they would classify us as."I said"It wouldn't work without severe consequences."
Exveemon sighed."True"He said "Why don't we just wait for now,we don't have any other options at this point,and we can defend ourselves if it comes to that."
I nodded. I didn't like it,but it was all we could do. Though part of me wanted to fight,wanted to defend ourselves from the hands of evil,but I knew it would cost me everything if I did. I found myself shaking my head.
"No..."I said
"No what?"Exveemon asked
"This isn't what I want,I'll be honest I don't care if they branded us as terrorists,i just want to be free despite what I just said,and our only choice now is to leave the country. If I must fight I will,but I don't want to sit here and hope we will be safe. I never cared."I told them
"You seem to be switching your opinion greatly right now,is something wrong?"Rachel asked
"No,im always too shy to say what I really feel,and I let others run the conversations I have. I know I have to take charge of my life,and im going to start now. I want to leave the country,i want to get away and if I must fight I will."I said back
Rachel nodded."Then I'll support you."
"So will we."Ron said as Black war greymon nodded.
"And I will follow you to the end."Exveemon said at last
"Then we have to leave now,its going to cause minor problems but im going to charge the digivice,and get Exveemon to digivolve into imperialdramon,and once he is changed we will go,to where I don't know."
"Then do it,we will follow you."They all said
I pulled out the digivice,and slowly scanned it over."We will need to go outside and into open ground,but close to a power source,there's a field north of here that will work,but I don't know if the military is watching so we will have to be careful and hope they don't take the opportunity. But it is a short trip so we probably wont have to worry."
They all nodded."Then lets go."I said
I walked to the door,and opened it. There was the casual sounds of everyday life,and vehicles running on the streets,but I could not see anyone."Ok Exveemon can you go inside the digivice,we don't want to attract attention,you too gatomon and Greymon."
The digimon nodded,and walked to their appropriate partner,before instantly being teleported inside the digivices. I signaled for Ron and Rachel to follow,and we headed out. We walked onto the sidewalk,away from my house. No one was around,so I started walking. TI wasn't much of a trip,only a short walk,but soon I rounded a few corners and was met with the field that surrounded the high school. I looked around again,and still saw no one. Then I followed the sidewalk up till we got past the fences,and turned in to the field. Ron and Rachel where following. Once in the field surrounded by weeds and grass,i pulled out the digivice.
"Ok come out now exveemon."I said and Exveemon followed,coming out of the digivice. Once he was out he readied himself.
"Ok lets charge the digivice,before anyone comes."I said
I slowly scanned the digivice for a couple of seconds looking for the correct button,once I found it I slowly pushed it. The was an immediate shock wave that came out of the digivice and went to the surrounding area. I watched as several lamp posts trickled with electricity and broke their bulbs. The lights in all the housed went off,and everything went deathly silent. I looked at the digivice,and it showed it was fully charged. Once again I pushed the correct buttons and soon it was glowing as it had before.
"Ok its ready,are you guys?"I asked
"yes we are ready,do it now."Ron said
OK."I said back before looking to Exveemon and waiting. Exveemon walked forwards and touched the digivice,and soon began glowing as his body was broken down and changed into a new form. The proccess was quite quick as his body changed into the large form of imperialdramon,and soon just as fast as it started it stopped. Standing before me was imperialdramon. He looked down at me,and turned around allowing us to get into the safe area that he had.
I waited for everyone to get aboard,and soon I felt us start to ascend. Imperialdramon was starting to fly and soon we would be far away from here. But something did not feel right. Maybe it was just me,but I looked around as Imperialdramon started to ascend. I saw nothing,and my hopes came back,it was nothing. But then I heard something,it was faint,but it was there. Like the sound of an engine..
I looked around again,and scanned the horizon. The sound started getting louder,and this time Ron and Rachel heard it too. Imperialdramon as well. We all turned to the horizon,and where met by the sound of not just any engine,but a jet engine.
"Shit."I heard myself say.
"Im on it,they won't catch us now."Imperialdramon told me
I saw the engine on his back start to come to life as it glowed with energy. I looked back towards the sound of the jets,they where closing in. I started to feel myself panicked,hoping Imperialdramon would hurry up. But just as it happened,i felt us move. Imperialdramon flapped his massive wings,and then I felt weightlessness.
