Chapter Thirty Five: The True Glow of the Optimist's Crest

KIRA'S POV

I walked with Sam. The sun had just risen, and we roamed the silent streets.

FLASHBACK

Flamemon ran away, giggling as usual. Sam and I looked at each other.

We knew what the other one was thinking.

"I'm sorry guys. Sam and I are leaving. Our crests haven't glowed, and I believe this is a task for us to handle alone," I sighed.

The others looked heartbroken.

"We'll be back. Don't worry. Once our crests have glowed, we'll be as ready as ever," Sam promised.

Good bye, Willis.

END FLASHBACK

"Do you think we did the right thing?" I asked.

Sam looked down. "I'm not sure, but we'll find out soon enough."

ZEPHYR'S POV

I looked out the window with Floramon. She had digivolved yesterday, and ever since I had been beyond nervous.

This saving the world thing was serious.

Was I up to it?

There was sudden fog covering the city. My mouth dropped from my top floor apartment.

This was nuts!

But then, I heard screams before sudden silence. My eyes widened.

I ran out of my room with Floramon close behind to see my parents gone.

This was freaky.

This hero role was beginning sooner that I had thought.

KYOI'S POV

The entire city was covered in fog. I was in the street and punching Bakemon wildly. This was so sudden.

I kicked a nearby ghost. Betamon was next to me, but I had told him not to digivolve because he would need to save his strength.

Myotismon was attacking, and we would need all the help we could get to beat him.

Eventually, I felt myself get more and more tired.

I felt a Bakemon on my wrist.

I tried to swat him away, but soon Bakemon had covered me.

I hated this.

I hate losing.

GENEVIEVE'S POV

I sat on a bench. The mall was packed and more and more people were being forced inside by the monsters. I held Eyymon.

I kind of wondered what the others were up to.

SAM'S POV

We were surrounded by Bakemon. This stunk! I wanted DemiMeramon to digivolve, but SkullMeramon didn't feel right.

The ghosts closed in on Kira and I. I felt sweat form on my head.

I looked at my Crest of Darkness.

I wasn't about to let my crest restrict me from saving Kira and I from the Bakemon.

I closed my eyes. I opened them a few seconds later and held my crest. It was glowing white, and the shining cover around it peeled away to show another crest, this one white.

It glowed brightly. I heard a voice from nearby.

"DEMIMERAMON, DIGIVOLVE TO...CANDLEMON! CANDLEMON, DIGIVOLVE TO...MERAMON! MERAMON, DIGIVOLVE TO...FLAREMERAMON!"

FlareMeramon had a red ribbon around his chest with a knot to the right side with the ends of the ribbon blowing freely. Orange dust began at his waist and began to get thinner before stopping entirely to create a multi-colored flame.

He held two swords, both golden. A gold mask of the same color covered FlareMeramon's eyes. He had feathery wings from his back, a bright orange color covering each feather. He had bronze armor covering the back of his head, starting from his gold mask,

"Thank you for creating the a Crest of Freedom and making it glow to create me, Sam. Now, we end this."

I was awestruck as my partner spoke.

His true ultimate form.
