//------------------------------// // The bolt of Loyalty! // Story: Digimon Crusaders // by Klonoahedgehog //------------------------------// Soccer practice was just about finished and Scootaloo along with a few other kids ran into the locker rooms. Scootaloo was just about to leave when the coach spoke up to everyone. "Alright kids! I want you all to remember that the day after tomorrow is the big game!" One of the kids sitting on a bench speaks up. "How can we forget? You've been training us all month!" The taller kid standing next to him speaks up. "And we always lose a game to the other schools in the state!" The coach speaks up. "Yes but this time we've got a weapon!" The coach puts hi's arm around Scootaloo. "This girl right here! She's gonna be our way to victory!" Scootaloo just puts on a cocky expression. "Don't worry guys i won't let you down!" Opening theme. Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash were playing a casual game of Soccer to get ready for the big game the next day, Poromon just lying on a bench against Scoot's backpack. "So there counting on you huh?" Asked Rainbow. Scootaloo kicked the ball towards the goal. "Yeah, the team always loses and i'm pretty much the best player on the team after i joined." Rainbow caught the ball and laughed. "You mean to tell me the stallions never won a game?" She kicks the ball and Scootaloo gave chase trying to catch it. "Yeah, every time our team competes in a game we always end up losing, but since i joined up we might have a chance." So she did catch up to Dash and kick the ball of her, throwing it to the other goal. Scootaloo stopped to take a rest. "Can we stop?" Rainbow stopped as well. "Yeah sure." So the two of them got ready to leave Scootaloo picking up her backpack making Poromon fall over to the ground. "So are you gonna come watch me play?" Rainbow gives her a look and smiles. "Sure kid." She says giving a thumbs-up. -------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile in a floating city many Digimon were just going around in there day to day business, Elecmon was goofing off eating some fruit. He suddenly felt something on the floor. "Huh?" He felt rumbling getting stronger in the center of the city. Elecmon tries to see what's going on, he didn't have to run to it as a Dark tower grows in the city at a really fast pace. On top of the tower he noticed a familiar Digimon standing on top of it. It's Kazemon! Elecmon immediately thinks the worst so he runs towards the tower at full speed! Meanwhile in a park in Ponyville Rainbow sit on a bench with a small box in her hands. She opens it to reveal some Chilly fries. "My favorite!" She says, she lifts up one of the fries and opens her mouth and before she could put it in her Digivice started beeping, she takes a look at it and it's screen was red. Her eyes gave a surprised look and she ran off her lunch hitting the floor. Later in Golden Oaks the girls walk up to the house area of the library where Twilight was staring at the computer screen, she quickly turns her head to look at the group. "Girls! I'm glad your here! Come over here!" The group does so, coming close to Twilight's Computer seeing a Map of the Digi-world, sudden darkness covering a certain area "Woah, that's big." Said Sweetiebelle. The rest of the team perked up. "Ya know what we have to do!" Yelled Apple bloom. "Count me in too." The group looks over to where the voice was coming from and they saw Rainbow sitting against the doorway, she gets up and walks over to the team. "Rainbow? What are you doing here?" The Rainbow flashes her Digivice which had a red light on it. "Elecmon's in trouble." "Elecmon's your partner right?" Asked Sweetie belle. Rainbow nods. Applebloom was about to say something when Scootaloo jumped in. "Don't worry Rainbow Me and Poromon will find him for you." So they open the Digi-port then the seven of them jump into the Digi-port! They jumped out of the Digi-Port to a field, the same field where Scootaloo and Sweetie belle landed in when they came to Digiworld the first time. They looked around the area and noticed something off, they looked upward and saw black clouds surrounding a city in the sky. "So we oughta go up there right?" Asked Apple bloom. "Yeah." Said Rainbow. "We should make this quick, remember i've got a soccer match later." Said Scootaloo as she walked up to the hill. "How do you think we could get up there?" Asked Scootaloo. "I got it!" Said Sweetie belle. "Hawkmon can Digivolve and fly us there!" The looked over to Hawkmon who just responded. "I can try." Scootaloo got in front of him and took out her Digivice. "Alright then. Digi-Armor! Energize!" And Hawkmon glowed, when the light faded Shynermon was standing there in hi's place. Shynermon grabbed Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo then just realized the one problem. Apple bloom Sweetie belle and there Digimon couldn't join them. "Well this is awkward." Said Shynermon. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Shynermon looked at Scootaloo and said. "Look we can't go unless we have all of our teammates. We don't know what will be waiting for us up there." "Oh come on we can handle it!" She insists. Shynermon looks back at the others and says. "I'll be back!" Scootaloo yelled back at him. "Can we just hurry up!?" Shynermon looked at Rainbow with a sweat mark, in which she just nods. So Shynermon jumps into the air in the direction of the City, leaving Applebloom and the others behind. Sweetie belle and Armadillomon looked at each other then looked back at the dot which was Shynermon in the sky. "There not coming back are they?" Armadillomon shakes hi's head. "No, i don't think so." Applebloom slumps over and sighs. "Lets just go ahead, maybe we can find something under there?" Said Coronamon, so the smaller group goes ahead to under the location of the city.... Later Shynermon puts Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash down and land on a Digi-Cloud. "Oh no..." Said Rainbow looking around the city. It was nothing like she remembered it at all. Dark clouds everywhere, some buildings toppled over. In the colloseum near the center there was where there was a huge light signifing that something was going on in there. Shynermon looked over to Rainbow who clenched her fist. "Were going in." She said. Shynermon just looked in between the two sort of sisters who had angry faces splattered on them. "But what about the others?" He asked. Rainbow turned to him and said. "Look! There's no time! We've got to get in there!" "But Rainbow..." She ignored him Scootaloo followed jumping from cloud to cloud until they made it to the city. Once they got in they noticed the zombie like state of the Digimon hanging around. "Woah, these guys are getting a lot more serious are they?" Asked Scootaloo making Shynermon nods. "Lets go." Rainbow Said as she began to run inside of the town only to get pulled back by Shynermon. "Rainbow i think it would be best if we formulated a plan before we just jump in like that." Rainbow slaped hi's arm off of her. "Then what do you expect us to do?" "We could go through the shadows." The two looked at Scootaloo who pointed in the direction of a dark alley which they both looked at. "Hmm, good idea. Should we?" Shynermon looked at Rainbow "...Fine" Said Rainbow. So they go into the dark alley out of site, Shynermon degenerating into Hawkmon. "So do we even know where were going?" Asked Scootaloo. Shynermon whispers at her meaning for her to stay quiet. "Oh okay, where are we going?" Rainbow looked at her. "Didn't you notice the colloseum near city hall?" "Yeah." "Well i'm guessing that something's going on in there are were gonna find out what." So they got to an opening where sunlight was gazing in. Outside they got a look at the colloseum where it definitely seemed like there was something there. Given the Digimon guarding the place. "It doesn't look like it's gonna be easy going in there." Rainbow looked over to Scootaloo. "That's what makes it cool." Hawkmon interjected. "Girls seriously we should probably be waiting for the others." Scootaloo shot a look towards Hawkmon and put her finger on him. "Look Hawkmon were already in here, and were in a hurry, we can't just sit here waiting for them!" She yelled, Hawkmon just had a sweat mark on hi's face while Rainbow had an annoyed look on her face. "Look all i'm saying is i can't handle all of these enemies on my own." And Scootaloo whispered back. "Oh so it's all about you now isn't it?" Rainbow's look of annoynce grew bigger and bigger while they were arguing. "Will you two shut up!?" She yelled knocking down a trash can. When she did about 6 Digimon with black rings take notice to them. "Aw crud!" Yelled Rainbow the bunch of Digimon ran towards them, trying to run Hawkmon attacked sending one back but the other 5 still kept chasing him. "Well this is bad." He mumbles. They were still being chased until they reached a dead end. "Ahh crud!" Yelled Scootaloo. The 5 Digimon were about to catch up, "Hawkmon why don't you try fighting them?" Asked Scootaloo which Hawkmon replied. "Whenever i hit one another comes my way." Rainbow looked at him. "Why don't you Digivolve?" Hawkmon looked back up to her and said. "I wasted my energy flying here, i can't Digivolve." Rainbow looked back seeing the Digimon getting closer. "We've gotta find a way out of here!" Just then they heard a voice yell. 'Down here!' They looked at an open grate in the floor, then they jumped down there. Hawkmon closing said grate. "Who called us?" Asked Scootaloo. When they got down there there was someone waiting for them there. He was a Digimon covered entirely in rocks"Hey Rainbow long time no see." Rainbow looked at the Digimon and smiled. "Do you know this guy Rainbow?" To be Continued.
