Digidestined Darkness: Part 39-True Ignorance

by Argent Dragon


Chan: Allison got the others out of the maze. Their crests glowed, causing mine to glow dimly. My hands glowed, just as my crest let off a brilliant light. Leopomon used the Crest of Light to digivolve to Felinangemon. The others met up with Wizardmon. Felinangemon's Lion Strike forced Ladydevimon to dedigivolve after the others arrived. The Dark Digidestined threatened to return. Then she and her partner left. We escaped the fortress as it started to crumble. Once we had escaped, we met up with Frigimon and Meramon outside the ruins.

Nik watched his map. "Waspmon, look at this." The insectoid Digimon looked at the map. He saw nine crest marks, none repeating, on the map. Not only did he see that, but he also saw that they were in Nik's territory.

"I assume it's time to take out the Digidestined?"

"Yes."


Msaada walked behind the others with Izzy. "Izzy, what exactly do the crests do to help with digivolving?"

Izzy opened his mouth in order to explain, but he didn't get to say a word. Both Digidestined heard the others' yells. Without a word, they rushed to help.

Izzy got to the others first, simply because he had longer legs than Msaada. He found them in a pit too deep and too steep to get out of. "Hang on!

Suddenly they heard a derisive laugh. A boy stepped into view. His brown eyes locked on Msaada and Izzy.

"I am the Dark Digidestined of Ignorance," he yelled. "And there is no way you will beat me. Digivolve now, Waspmon!"

"Waspmon digivolve to...Darkkabuterimon."

Msaada yelled right back at him. "Let's see if you can handle a star Digimon, Dark Digidestined. Power of the Stars!"

"Lupimon Star digivolve to...Stalupimon."

"Wolf Star Blast!"

Darkkabuterimon flew out of harm's way. "Let's see if you enjoy an...Electric Shock!"

As the attack streamed toward Msaada and Stalupimon, the star Digimon yelled, "Shield of Stars!" The stars leapt from her body to form a solid shield in front of Msaada.

The attack glanced off the shield, but Stalupimon was hit directly. She dedigivolved and the shield disappeared.

Izzy looked down into the pit. "Don't worry, guys. We'll get you out of there!" He turned to Msaada. "Lupimon has to digivolve. It's the only way!" Msaada nodded, understanding that Kabuterimon would be an exact match for Darkkabuterimon.

Darkkabuterimon attacked again while they were distracted. "Electric Shock!" The attack hurtled toward Msaada. Lupimon was afraid her partner would get hurt. She leapt in front of Msaada.

"Lupimon digivolve to...Aliamon."

Aliamon looked a little like Garurumon. On four slim legs, she maintained a basic appearance of a wolf. She had silvery gray fur all over her body, although it paled on her stomach. Her long tail gracefully drooped. She looked ferocious as she glared at Darkkabuterimon.

Aliamon leapt up and batted the attack. It hit the ground harmlessly. "Let's see if you like a...Thunder Blast!" She breathed out a bolt of lightning.

Darkkabuterimon flew toward his partner, but was hit by Aliamon's attack. He dedigivolved and dropped to the ground at his partner's side.

The Dark Digidestined frowned. "I'll be back! You haven't beaten me yet. Just try to make it into my fortress. Just try!" Then he and his partner turned and left.

Aliamon dedigivolved. "So how are we going to get them out of that pit," Msaada asked.

"Watch," Izzy replied. "Tentomon?"

"Tentomon digivolve to...Kabuterimon."

"Guys, get out of the way!" The others bunched against one part of the side as Kabuterimon flew down into the pit.

"All aboard," he said.


Anastasia blinked in surprise as a second Crest of Knowledge appeared on her map. As she examined her map closely, she realized it and the other crests were in Nik's territory. "So another has a crest?" A cruel smile appeared on her face. "That fool won't be able to finish them off." She turned to her partner, Jackalamon. "And then it's our turn to take care of them."


Just before Anastasia planned her turn to destroy the Digidestined, a purple light glowed from Msaada's digivice. Surprised, she held it in her hand until the light faded. When it did, it revealed the Crest of Knowledge. Reminded by the crest, Msaada remembered her question earlier and became determined to get an answer.


Kelerime leaned against the wall. "Moiramon?"

Her partner looked up. "Huh?"

"Those Digidestined will come to our territory. None of the others will be able to stop them. It's up to us to stop them from reaching Michael. You know that, don't you?" The smaller Digimon nodded. "Then here's how we'll defeat them...


Msaada tappped Izzy on the shoulder. He turned around. "Are you going to answer my question now?"

He smiled. "I'll answer as well as I can. From what I have been told, the crests are a source of power for digivolving past the Champion stage to the Ultimate stage. In your case, the Champion stage of your Digimon is Aliamon. In my case, my Digimon's Champion stage is Kabuterimon."

"So how do you tell if a crest has been activated?"

"Now that's a question I'm sure of the answer to. A crest indicates activation by glowing."

"And that leads to digivolution?"

"Correct."

"Does that sum up everything you know about the crests?" Izzy was starting to see why Msaada had the Crest of Knowledge.

"Almost. The last thing is that each crest represents a strength, or a weakness in the case of the Dark Digidestined, from what I observed. Our crest is the Crest of Knowledge. Other crests belonging to the Digidestined are Love, Hope, Light, Courage, Sincerity, Reliability, Perseverance, and Friendship. As you know, the crests we've seen so far that belong to the Dark Digidestined are Despair, Darkness, and Ignorance. Also, considering that there are ten Dark Digidestined, there must be a tenth crest that belongs to a Digidestined."

"You know a lot about the crests, then."

Izzy smiled. "Of course. After all, I do have the Crest of Knowledge." Msaada grinned.


What is Kelerime's plan to defeat the Digidestined? What does Nik have in store for the Digidestined? Is there a tenth Digidestined crest? Tune in next time to find out.
