I am working hard guys, please understand this: working on trials is boring as f**k

 

[spoiler=Chapter 50: Hope, Light & Kindness: Ken I T.K. the Kari out?]

 

Dom was lying on the beach with the soft sand. Demi and BK were playing with it by making a sand castle and making Phasco the princess of said castle. Naomi had erected a large umbrella and was reading a small book whilst Sal rested on her lap. ‘I hope they’re coming soon. I know what Aban is like, but it shouldn’t take too long to prove that he is such a know-it-all’ Naomi complained. ‘Not really, Kev is the know-it-all. Aban is our token weirdo, every group needs one’ Dom replied. ‘You’re right I guess, but I hope they don’t get too sidetracked, it was them who insisted on helping the islands’ Naomi acknowledged. ‘Ja I know, but what can you do?’ Dom sighed and turned onto his belly. ‘I now proclaim you princess Phasco, queen of the sand castle’ Demi announced, adorning the sleeping Digimon with a crown of seaweed. ‘Your majesty’s beauty is without limit’ BK remarked. ‘Your grace is effortless and your beauty, sublime’ Demi added. ‘Please allow us to bask in your presence’ they both cried and bowed to Phasco, who was still snoring.

 

As Steph and the group crossed the bridge to the Island of Reliability, there was something niggling at Kevin, like a monkey on your back or that sixth slice of cake FATTY! ‘Aban has yet to say more than a few words ever since he left the trial. That is unlike him to not speak, what could have happened in the trial to shut him up?’ he thought as they walked. ‘I hope we reach Demi and BK soon’ Aban said suddenly. ‘Why the sudden interest in them two?’ Gaomon inquired. ‘Wisemon, the Digimon from my trial asked me to give a message to them both’ Aban replied. ‘Which was?’ Charlie inquired. ‘Hope sleeps within every heart’ Aban recited. ‘Curious, and a coincidence, since Steph is going to take the Trial of Hope’ Blaze noted. ‘So, who are your cousins on the next two islands?’ Drake inquired. ‘Three islands, I fear our time is running short, so I feel it is best to deal with the last three trials quickly, but, I am fearful. These are supposed to be the hardest of trials, due to the enormous responsibility of their trait. Drake, Lydia, Stephanie. I wish to know, are you truly prepared for this?’ Blaze inquired and stopped walking. The others stopped and faced his eyes, but their decisions had been made. ‘Of course, I have very little to lose’ Drake answered. ‘I’m not going to give up either. If I do, Dom will haunt me with it for the rest of my life. He’ll cluck the wedding march when I head down the wedding aisle’ Lydia replied. ‘I won’t give up, I have to do this for everyone depending on me’ Steph answered. ‘Good, I see you are resolved to this. You have my best wishes’ Blaze concluded. They continued walking to the end of the bridge onto the length of ocean, where Dom had fallen asleep and was sun burnt. Naomi and Sal were snoring under their umbrella, which has tipped over onto them. Demi and BK on the other hand were still graciously bowing to Phasco. ‘Why do they get all the fun?’ Lydia demanded.

 

After Dom and Naomi had been woken up and after they finally convinced Demi and BK to stop bowing (this involved a crane, a bottle of wine, a German shepherd….oh wait, that’s my personal life), the group began to move onto to the Island of Hope. ‘My cousin on this island is a Saggitarimon by the name of Cenarias. My cousin on the Island of Light is a Gargoylemon called Auras and my cousin on the Island of Kindness is a Kangaroomon called Skippy’ Blaze explained as they walked along the bridge. ‘Sounds great, we need to achieve these trials ASAP so we can get back on the trail of the Digi-egg of Purity’ Steph replied. ‘Good luck, I know it still exists in this world, but after the last catastrophe, it is very well hidden’ Blaze warned. ‘We’re good at finding things’ Demi answered smugly. ‘Far be it from me to call you a liar’ Blaze countered. ‘Touché’ Demi replied.

 

The Village of Hope was constructed simply as wooden constructs. The ground was covered in lush green grass. Hoofed Digimon were rushing through it, obviously going to something important. ‘Cenarias should be over at the Hoof Chapel’ Blaze explained. The chapel in question was a large open area. It was park like, as it had many Digimon either resting on the grass or playing. Cenarias was resting by an enormous tree, his eyes were closed and his bow resting on a tree. ‘My dear coosin approaches’ he solemnly said as they approached. ‘Indeed I do, and I am sure you know our purpose’ Blaze replied, ignoring the incorrect word. ‘Si deer, the Trile you seke’ Cenarias replied and rose onto his four feet. ‘Funny, he looks like Blaze and Bolt combined’ Jason noted. Cenarias groaned as his bones cracked with each fluid movement of carving a symbol onto the great tree. A large star on top of a pillar with etched onto the tree. ‘The Cymbol of Hope, tak care’ Cenarias explained. The cymbol, errr, symbol glew with bright yellow light. The glowing stretched down to base of the tree. The pillar shape opened into a dark tunnel. ‘See you soon’ Steph said and walked in with Gaomon at her heels. The door closed behind her and she walked off into darkness.

 

Steph and Gaomon didn’t spend too long in darkness, as the tunnel opened up into a large viewing deck; it seemed to be at the top of a tower. Steph didn’t take caution as she approached another set of steps into an open viewing balcony. At the barrier was a figure coated in magnificent silver armour. He had ten golden wings spreading from his back. Steph became a little uncertain, but Gaomon had a look of adoration. ‘Welcome to my humble abode my blessed children’ the figure said in a strong voice. ‘Your grace’ Gaomon swooned and went to a knee. ‘I am nothing now. I have left my grace to another’ the figure responded and turned. His frontal form was coated with unknown sigils and he wore a winged helmet. The symbol of hope was etched on his midsection. ‘Lord Seraphimon, one of the Celestial Trinity’ Steph realized. ‘Indeed I am my dear. Guardian of the Kernel of Hope’ he added. Steph bowed quickly, but Seraphimon raised his hand. ‘No need, such formalities are not required’ he said hastily. ‘Sorry’ they both replied. ‘Now that is out of the way, I want you to come here’ Seraphimon stated and turned to the balcony. Steph approached it slowly. ‘The purest angel might just happen to have the blackest wings’ Steph reminded herself.

 

The trip to the Island of Light was short lived as the group minus Steph and Gaomon arrived in the Village of Light. It was a small village nestled by a large meteor crater. It was filled with pure glistening water. ‘The Village of Light was founded upon the shores of the meteor crater. This turn of fortune was well greeted because of the Digimon living with it, that being Seahomon and Manbomon. The normal villagers are flying Digimon, so the watery crater is no true problem’ Blaze explained as they approached. A shadow flew overhead and a sphinx landed in front of the group. ‘Halt, state your business in this holy place’ it demanded. ‘Neferteri, lower your guard. We are here to see Auras’ Blaze stated. The cool eyes of the sphinx looked him over. ‘As you wish, remain here. I will fetch him’ it replied coolly and took off. ‘Gee, I like this place already’ Dom said dryly. ‘Zip it burny’ Lydia said and slapped him on the back. Dom seethed as his back arched back from the agony. ‘I’ll get you back for that’ he hissed. The sphinx had returned with a large pale gargoyle with it. ‘Auras, pleasant to see you again’ Blaze greeted. ‘Truly it is Blaze. What do I owe this pleasure?’ Auras inquired. ‘The Trial of Light’ Blaze stated. ‘Ah, I see. Neferteri, please go and open the path to the door’ Auras requested. ‘As you wish Auras’ Neferteri replied and took off. ‘Please, this way’ Auras offered and slouched off on all fours. ‘It would be discourteous to fly ahead’ Blaze explained to their quizzical looks. They followed Auras to the large lake. ‘Please be patient’ Auras requested. As if it were an answer, a large beam of light shot out from the centre of the lake. It began to lengthen out into a large line, extending all the way to the shoreline. As the light vanished, steps were seen in the middle of two walls of water. ‘Only the chosen I will lead into the lake’ Auras stated. Lydia nodded and stepped forward. ‘Very good, come child’ Auras requested and began to walk down the long line of steps. Lydia didn’t look back as she followed him down. The roar of the water was incredible as they both took each step quickly, going deeper into the lake. The path ended at an enormous boulder marked with an eight-pointed star. ‘The Mark of Light, please allow access’ Auras preached. There was a slight rumble and a door opened up in the rock. ‘Never fear what you will see’ Auras said kindly and hurried her in.

 

The tunnel wasn’t well lit, but it opened out into what seemed to be an observatory. It was a large room with ornate columns and a clear glass room. From a large glass window was a beautiful night sky, with every star glittering brightly. Further into the room was a large constellation of the Milky Way. Sitting on the moon that was orbiting the earth was an angel coated in tasteless teal armour. It had a womanly figure and ten golden wings extending from its back. ‘My dear Cherubimon, so nice to feel your presence yet again’ she said. ‘Ophanimon, you haven’t changed in the slightest’ Lop noted. The angel smiled and gracefully glided down to them. ‘I see you do not know me child’ the angel said, referring to Lydia. ‘Well, Lopmon said you were Ophanimon; and you appear to be an angel, thus I suspect that you are a great angel’ Lydia deduced. ‘Indeed, I am Ophanimon, Guardian of the Kernel of Light’ Ophanimon announced. ‘It’s a pleasure’ Lydia said half-heartedly. Ophanimon smiled warmly. ‘I see you are utterly thrilled to meet me, so I wish to show you something’ Ophanimon said and guided Lydia over to a large full-length mirror. ‘Take a look’ Ophani offered. Lydia took two steps into the range of the mirror and caught her reflection. The reflection was wearing an outfit that could only be described as ‘tres dominatrix’. It was wearing a red feathery boa and a black crown. It had a depraved look on its face. ‘What is this?’ Lydia inquired.

 

Everyone but had been left on the Island of Light whilst Drake and Impmon had made their way to the Island of Kindness (is there any possible way to say this without sounding gay?) It was a bright and cheerful village built similar to a children’s playground. The buildings were stacked up in odd ways, each with their own odd design. ‘The Village of Kindness is built this way to show some form of harmony. The Digimon in this village are just general beast Digimon. Skippy is a Kangaroomon’ Impmon reported. ‘I know, we’d best find him as soon as possible’ Drake replied. They walked through the jumbled town, getting friendly hellos by every Digimon that passed. Drake managed to grab a Bucchiemon long enough for questioning. ‘Skippy? Oh, he’s probably at the top of that building over there’ it replied, pointing out a spiral tower. They proceeded there and walked a grueling spiral staircase to a platform with a kangaroo on it. It had a pair of boxing gloves and a doll sticking out of its pouch. ‘Oh come on. This is perhaps the most stereotypical Digimon ever’ Impmon complained. ‘Pretty much’ Skippy admitted. ‘We’re here for the Trial of Kindness’ Drake cut in. ‘Ah yes, you would’ve been sent by my best cousin Blaze right? I heard on the grapevine that a bunch of kids restoring the power of virtues to each island. You must be the last one for their trial right?’ Skippy inquired. ‘That is why I am here alone’ Drake said dryly. ‘True mate, well, let’s hop to it’ Skippy joked and laughed. There wasn’t even a weak laugh from Drake and Imp. ‘Okay, I guess joking is aside, well, here we are at the trial’ Skippy announced, he hadn’t moved. ‘What?’ Drake inquired confusedly. On the floor was a shape of a heart with falling petals. It glew with light violet light and rose up vertically, to form a door. ‘Good luck’ Skippy announced and they entered it.

 

This tunnel was much more different. It was alight with a dim glow and lined with numerous mirrors. ‘Why do I always get mirrors in my trials? Is it some irony of seeing myself as the monster I am?’ Drake complained. ‘Who knows mate, I just do the fighting’ Imp replied lazily. Drake grunted a sound of agreement as the light grew slightly stronger until they reached a circular room, with no exits or entrances. It was lined with mirrors on every wall. Drake looked behind him to see his reflection staring back. ‘What does kindness have to do with mirrors?’ Imp protested. ‘Look closer, you’ll find only I am reflected in these mirrors’ Drake noted. It was true, only Drake could be seen by each shimmering surface. ‘What could it mean’ Imp asked. There was a light weeping echoing the room as each mirror reflected white light, and in their reflection was a small boy crying. ‘Who is that?’ Imp inquired. ‘Me’ Drake answered.

 

Lila was walking down a corridor to an important meeting when she noticed Alex’s door was open. She curiously she peeked inside to find both Alex and Shadow gone. She gasped as a disturbance was heard outside. She rushed past the meeting room to the outside, where on the horizon could be seen a figure shooting across the sky. A small tear bloomed in her eyes; she knew who that was. ‘Just do what you feel is right’ she pleaded.

 

Steph was amazed at the beautiful view Seraphimon had offered her. The view was of a beautiful plain, filled with flowers, smooth turf and a small river. ‘Everyday I look upon this sight, and it fills my heart with comfort and joy. It is a sight like this that gives people a reason to fight, to fight for the truth and beauty still left in this world. It is a firm hope that has never left the hearts of humans and Digimon alike’ Seraphimon said grandly. ‘It is a true sight to behold, but people do not fight to preserve the beauty and love in this world’ Steph replied. ‘Oh, then what do people fight for? What do they hold their hopes in?’ Seraphimon inquired. ‘The future, everyone always hopes for the future. No matter what happens in life, no matter what hardships faced by anyone in any place, as long as people can hold the hope that everything will be better in time, that is good enough for us’ Gaomon replied. ‘You understand, that is a good start’ Seraphimon acknowledged. ‘It’s kept us alive this far hasn’t it? And it will keep us alive till the ends of our days. I always hope for the best possible future’ Steph admitted. ‘You truly are the leader of your group Stephanie. Hope is a virtue not many people understand. Hope is not something to inspire you or provide you with power. It is the knowledge that no matter what happens, everything will be alright in the end. Sadly, our time runs short. You must return to your friends now. Please take this’ Seraphimon offered and held out a single yellow chip. It bore the same pattern on the door she had entered. ‘Thank you Seraphimon’ Steph said and accepted the chip. ‘Now go’ Seraphimon ordered and returned to his balcony. Steph and Gaomon headed for the tunnel leading out of the trial.

 

Lydia was perplexed at the depraved creature reflected in the mirror. ‘The Mirror of Cal’Daer is a curious artifact. It reflects the opposite side of anyone staring into it. Should I be reflected in the mirror, you would find my splendid form torn down into a loathsome Lilithmon’ Ophanimon said with disdain. ‘They’re not loathsome, they’re actually quite nice Digimon. They may be viruses, but they are purely guided by their own goals and dreams. My friend Naomi’s partner is Lilithmon, and they have been extremely helpful to our cause’ Lydia protested. ‘Really, you hold so much faith in a creature of the dark?’ Ophani inquired. ‘Dark, light? It’s all a bunch of crap. Lopmon proves that well enough, by holding in her heart the powers of a virus and a vaccine. Humans and Digimon both have dark and light in themselves, it is only natural’ Lydia stated. ‘True, and that the balance of light and dark is what allows for harmony in our world. Light is seen as good because it stops evil. Dark is considered evil because it is always trying to get into the light so it can live. Such things are not true. Good and evil are governed by what is considered right or wrong’ Lop added. Ophani looked at the face of Lydia and her partner, but her gaze was set on the mirror. On the back of the reflection was a pair of tattoos; on the right was a devil wing, but on the left was an angel wing. ‘You truly believe light and dark can live in harmony?’ she inquired. ‘There would be some fine tuning of course, but it could work’ Lydia acknowledged. ‘I see; you possess a brilliant spark of light, but in it is a pallor of darkness. The acceptance of such things is what is required to truly earn the crest of love, which it seems you have’ Ophani admitted. She reached into her breastplate and removed from it a light pink chip. It shared the same eight-pointed star shape as the mural. ‘Take the Crest of Light and move on. Time grows short’ Ophani urged. ‘Thank you Ophanimon’ Lydia stated and ran to the tunnel, Lop’s ear were flowing in the breeze.

 

Drake looked fixedly on the weeping child. The way it was reflected in the mirrors made it look as if he were in the centre of the room. Both of them look off in the direction of a particularly loud sob, when the child actually was in the centre of the room. Drake uncertainly reached a hand out to the child and rested it on his shoulder. With a start, the boy turned a tear soaked face to Drake. He could see the youth and hope that had drained from his own face. ‘Who’re you?’ the boy demanded. ‘I’m Drake, and you are?’ Drake inquired, despite knowing the answer. ‘I’m Drake too’ the boy wept. ‘Why’re you crying?’ Drake inquired. ‘Because everyone I cared about besides my sister is dead’ the boy sobbed. ‘What happened?’ Drake continued, faking concern. ‘A horrible dragon attacked them and stole my best friend. But I am going to get him back’ the boy stated between tears. ‘How?’ Drake inquired. ‘By getting my own monsters to fight and kill him’ the boy replied angrily. ‘One like yours’ he added. ‘Whoa whoa whoa, I am NOT a mercenary for hire’ Imp argued. ‘But War and Ex were’ Drake admitted. ‘I will get my own monsters to find and destroy that dragon’ the boy repeated. ‘Do you think that is the best way to avenge those killed?’ Drake inquired. ‘Yes, he must die for what he did’ the boy countered. ‘I once felt that way when everyone I held dear was snatched away from me. I was consumed by anger and hatred, I forgot who it was I was actually hurting, myself’ Drake remembered, looking off into a mirror. ‘Well that’s you, but I will be different’ the boy snarled. Drake looked into the boy’s clouded eyes, and he knew only one thing. Drake swung and slapped the boy across the face, leaving a burning red mark. ‘Whoa Drake, this is the Trial of Kindness, we don’t hit in the Trial of Kindness’ Imp warned. ‘I am showing kindness, what the boy needed was a firm kick up the arse’ Drake countered. ‘Indeed’ said the boy in a deeper tone. Drake watched the child as it rose, it seemed more dignified. ‘If such an act here were to have happened during that terrible crossroads, what do you think would’ve happened? What do you think would’ve happened had that boy received ‘a firm kick up the arse?’ the Child inquired. ‘He would’ve turned into a hopeless twit’ Drake answered. ‘Do you really think so?’ the child inquired. ‘I know so. I only hit him because he was me. All the time I wanted to punch and hurt myself, I finally got the chance to do so. I’ve always been hurting myself, but I drowned the pain as if it were nothing. I became open to the pain once I realized what I was doing. I no longer have any regrets’ Drake explained. The child smiled and was gone, leaving a violet coloured chip. Drake collected and a mirror shattered, revealing the dimly lit tunnel. Imp walked through the frame first. ‘That’s ten years bad luck’ Drake joked.

 

Steph walked out into the brightly lit park, to see a crowd of Digimon had gathered. She triumphantly raised the Crest of Hope and the congregated Digimon sheered loudly. ‘Please replace our beloved crest’ Cenarias cried. Steph turned to the Mark of Hope etched onto the tree. An odd indent was found in the sun shape, in which Steph placed the crest. The symbol and the tree began glowing brightly with glorious yellow energy. A single fruit grew on the tree. It split at the base into four flaps and a golden egg dropped from it into Steph’s handed. ‘The tre has decried you worthe of a Digimental of Hop’ Cenarias announced. Steph smiled, but her eyes trailed off to the path that led to the Island of Light. ‘Thank you, but I must depart now’ Steph replied and ran with the egg in her arms. Gaomon was on all fours and chasing after her.

 

The mirrors at the end were filled with the light flowing from the exit. Drake and Imp breached the exit and back out onto the top of the tower. ‘Nice ta see ya again mates’ Skippy said conversationally. Drake nodded and felt for the indent on the Mark on the floor. He found it and slipped the small crest inside. The mark glew brightly and sent a glowing sphere into the sky, where it exploded into a bright shower of sparks. ‘Thanks mate, the power of kindness is restored to our island. As a token of our appreciation, I want you to have this’ Skippy said and dug into his pouch, removing from it a flower like object. ‘A Digi-egg of Kindness?’ Drake inquired. Skippy nodded. ‘Great, now, sorry we can’t stay, we must return to the Island of Light’ Drake announced and proceeded to the stairs. ‘That’s fine, take the super fun happy slide’ Skippy offered and stepped on a button. The steps folded into a floor and Drake tripped down the slide, allllllllllll the way down.

 

Lastly, Lydia stepped out of her Trial to be greeted by the sound of thundering water. ‘Do you have it?’ Auras inquired. Lydia nodded and held out the crest. It reacted to the meteor as it drew it in to an indent in the centre of the mark. The meteor glew with warm pink light, so did the entire lake in fact. An object shimmered in the water and was immediately spat out into Lydia’s hands, it was an odd bird-like object. ‘You have been considered worthy of a Digi-egg of Light’ Auras noted. ‘Aye’ was all Lydia could respond with. The trio walked the stairs up to the lakeshore. The water claiming each step left behind. Everyone was waiting for her, including Steph and Drake with their new Digi-eggs. ‘So, everyone has been granted a Digi-egg, but where do we go from here’ Kev inquired. ‘We go to the Islands of Miracles and Destiny’ Demi and BK announced together.

Ok, I was about to cry on TWO occasions;

 

1: Where Alex left Lila. I was almost shattered. Even if Alex is evil and all that, can't he show a little bit of love to his sister? Or daughter, I don't remember, lol

 

2: When Drake confronted his Trial. It was a pretty touching flashback on the things he had done. However, this may be good, as they bring great deal of information sometimes.

C-2' date=' no one is COMPLETELY friendless.

 

Who knows? Perhaps one of the heroes will see him as a friend. And maybe he will get over the fact that her sis' is a Digimon, and accept her for who she is now.

 

The outcomes are infinite.

Shadow is his friend. And I totally agree Fallen

 

Yea, Shadow is his friend, but he has no Human friends. Nobody he can relate to.

Basicly, he is in DIRE need of somebody like that. Not to make it sound simple, but, he just needs to loosen up. He hasn't had anybody he could talk to on a deeper note in years.

So ya, he just really needs some people to make him feel..acepted..o.o
