The Two Coronamons

Chapter 5

 "Are you telling me he actually digivolved?"

"Yes Gravimon, Whispered actually digivolved." I sigh and cross my arms over my chest. Gravimon hums softly.

"That really shocks me."

"Why?" I ask.

"You don't need to know. But, how's the process of trying to save me?" He asks me to smirk.

"I haven't even started-" His scoff cuts me off. "Rude."

"Sorry, I do that when I am disappointed. Anyway, just tell the two that you are going on a magical adventure for some cool gem. I am sure, as a rookie digimon, they will fall for it."

"Why do you wish for me to lie and deceive them so badly?"

"Best you do not know, Derin." He smiles. "Besides, don't you wish to help a poor guy out, I mean, I am the one who gave you that fusion loader. You should do what I say." Gravimon says. I try to argue but can't come up with anything.

"Fine." I sigh. "I will try leaving today, maybe tomorrow." I turn around. "How do you know about Coronamon and Whispered." I say with a frown. "Please Gravimon...just give me an answer."

"We used to work together, that's why. Now, Derin. I believe in you." He chuckles softly with another sneaky grin. I wish I could see his eyes so I could really know what expression he is giving me. I wake up again and see Coronamon and Whispered near each other. Whispered must have gotten out of the fusion loader or something. I stand up and stretch and that causes me to awaken Whispered.

"Morning" I say to him. He growls at me and goes back to sleep. I shrug and walk around to stretch.

Later in the afternoon, I am standing outside of the primary village, looking out at the mountains, trees, and rivers. I want to get to that volcano as soon as possible.

"Whatcha doing, Derin?" A familiar voice says behind me. I turn around to see Coronamon with Whispered right behind him.

"I want to leave the village and explore with the two of you." I say with a straight face. The two look at each other and then back at me.

"Why?" Whispered, his claws barred.

"Well, you two have been here for a long time right?" I say. "If we explore, we can train and the two of you can get stronger!" I smile. "Besides, it will be fun!"

"Sure!" Coronamon says excitedly. He runs up to me, hugs me and then runs down the hill to the edge of the forest beyond. "Come on Derin! Come on Whispered!" He yells and waits. I turn to Whispered.

"Like I said, you can get stronger"

"So?" He snaps.

"Don't you want Coronamon to be happy? And you could protect him better!" Whispered's angry eyes turn into ones of grief.

"Fine, but only for Coro." Whispered says as he shoves me to the ground and runs to be with Coronamon. I smile and get up and join the two at the bottom of the hill. We walk down the path together, looking at the new sense of scenery makes me feel a whole lot more at ease. I walk behind the two, the sound of branches breaking and the soft breeze fill the air. The two aren't talking to me or each other.

It seems like hours of walking when Coronamon finally says something.

"Can we rest? My legs hurt." He whines. I smile.

"Sure, we can rest." The three of us lay down against trees and soon Coronamon is out. I lay against my tree.

"Where are we actually going, Derin?" Whispered asks as he turns to face me.
