Auther notes 1: This is my first attempt at a fanfic

2: i'm from Belgium so English isn't my normal language. I'm sorry for any misspelled words or strange sentences.

3: "this is normal speech", 'these are thoughts', this means a flashback and i gave Tai's digimon side a voice so: "this is Tai's digimon side talking" or 'thinking'

4: this is an AU fic focusing on the 02 series with the legend of 04, so the kids from frontier won't be in this fic though some other characters will.

5: to Fruitloop Trooper: thanks for the tips, i'll try to work on my character development.

Disclaimer: I don't own digimon


Spirits of destiny

Chp 3

"This isn't good" Tai said as the angels took flight. He braced himself as Angemon readied his attack.

"Hand of Fate!"

Using his Sphinx Guard Shield Tai protected himself and the Poyomon he was still holding, against Angemon's attack.

"You idiot!" He shouted at the angel, who was preparing his next attack "Can't you see I'm still holding this guy?!?"

Angemon flinched when he noticed that. This gave Tai the chance to put the Poyomon down. Then he quickly ran away.

"Why are you running, afraid to fight someone your own size?" TK yelled at him.

'No, just trying to lead this battle away from the babies.' Tai thought as he came to a field.

He quickly checked for any other baby Digimon and found none. "Good, no innocents here." He mumbled.

Tai turned his attention to the ones chasing him. "Here we can fight without worrying about the innocent bystanders."

'Why is he concerned about the other digimon, isn't that our job?' Angewomon thought.

"Hand of Fate!" Tai blocked the attack again. he had seen Angemon and Angewomon fight dozens of times so he knew everything about their attacks.

"Heaven's Charm" Tai jumped out of the way and watched the cross of light pass him. His digimon side took control and started to fight back.

"My turn." Tai fought against the voice in his head telling him to destroy her.

He thought about what happened the first time he allowed his digimon side to take control.

He still remembered what he did to that Vilemon. The thought that he destroyed a digimon that easily made him sick.

"Shadow Meteor!" A beam of pure darkness was fired from his chest. It made its way to Angewomon who quickly moved out of the way, though the attack singed one of her wings.

Tai winced at the smell of burning flesh. He felt horrible for hurting someone he saw as a friend. But his instincts kept telling him that the angel was his enemy and had to be destroyed.

"Angewomon are you okay?" Kari asked her partner. "I'm fine." She said even though she felt the pain spreading through her wings, paralyzing them and forcing her to land.

Angemon landed in front of Tai and summoned his Angel Staff.

Tai threw his shield on the ground, which disappeared in a cloud of smoke and called forth his Spear of Conviction.

Angewomon readied her arrow, pulled back the string of her bow and waited for a clear shot

Tai blocked Angemon's first attack and countered it by striking his ribs with the dull side of the spear.

This caused Angemon to be pushed back and gave Tai the chance to hit his legs, immobilising him. As Angemon fell to his knees Tai pointed the sharp edge of the spear at the fallen angel's neck.

He was about to deliver the finishing blow when Tai finally regained control over his body.

'No I can't kill him.'

'You have to or else he'll kill you'

'But he's on my side.' Tai argued against himself.

Tai backed away as he fought against his instincts telling him to pierce the angel's neck. To finish him off.

'He isn't. He, TK, Angewomon and your baby sister are trying to destroy you.'

'They just don't know it's me'

'They will never believe you. To them you're dead, remember?'

'Shut up!'

While Tai was fighting his inner battles Angemon pulled himself to his feet and hit the dark warrior in the chest, knocking him back a bit.

This was the moment Angewomon waited for. "Celestial Arrow" she yelled as she fired the arrow of light towards Tai.

The arrow hit Tai in his right shoulder. Its light burned into his flesh, the pain forced Tai's human side away, allowing his other side to take control again as Tai couldn't fight it anymore.

Tai pulled the arrow out of his shoulder and snapped it in two.

"That wasn't very nice wench. You'll pay for that."

Tai's human side tried to regain control but his inner digimon was pissed off and wanted revenge.

He summoned all his energy for a huge display of power. He surrounded himself with a bright light.

"Loewemon digivolves to… JagerLoewemon."

"Oh crap!"

"He digivolved!"

A huge black and golden armoured lion had taken Tai's place.

"Ebony Blast!" Tai yelled, firing a orb of dark energy towards Angewomon.

She tried to move away but her wings still paralysed from Tai's first attack. As it nearly hit her Angemon pushed her out of the way, causing him to take the blow. As he was thrown through the air he dedigivolved to Tokomon and was caught by TK.

"You okay buddy?" TK asked the wounded digimon in his arms.

"Never better." Tokomon said.

"Angewomon!" Kari suddenly yelled. "Get away from there now! He's too strong"

"Right" Angewomon responded as she ran from the lion.

"Going somewhere?" Tai quickly jumped in front of the angel and the two humans, blocking their way.

Meanwhile somewhere else in the village.

"So…"Patamon started. "How can you tell which one is the Botamon we're looking for?"

"That's easy, we just ask them." Elecmon responded.

He moved to a small group of Botamon. "Who of you used to be an Agumon?"

Three of the black blobs hoped up and down.

"Okay and which one of you three saved the world a few times?"

One of them kept on hopping while the others moved away.

"Told you it was easy." Elecmon said with a smug grin as he picked up the digimon.

"There's someone here to see you." Patamon said to the small digimon in Elecmon's arms.

Botamon blinked a few times. 'Why would anyone come for me, it's my fault that Tai…

Tears formed in his eyes.

Elecmon noticed this and spoke to him in a calm voice.

"Don't worry, he'll be glad to see you again."

'He?' Botamon's ears perked at this.

"Let's go find Tai before he does something stupid." Elecmon said to Patamon.

Botamon cried at the mentioning of Tai's name.

Elecmon realised what he had done. "Listen Botamon, Tai isn't dead. He's here looking for you."

Botamon stopped crying. 'Tai is alive but how, I saw him die…

"I have to warn you, he looks a bit different." Patamon said to the blob. "So don't freak out. He's still your friend."

The trio took off.

As they moved through the village they heard cries of pain. Coming from a nearby field.

"Oh no" Elecmon handed Botamon to Patomon and ran towards the field with Patamon flying after him.

"Ebony Blast!" They arrived at the scene to see a lion cyborg blasting an Angewomon who was shielding two humans.

"Who the hell is that!?!" Patamon yelled. Tai turned to the source of the sound.

"What's the matter Patamon, don't you recognize me anymore?"

"I eh…" he just stared at the lion. Ruthlessly continuing his assault on the angel. He recognized those eyes. 'Taimon…'

Elecmon too realized who the creature was.

"Stop it Loewemon, they're the digidestined, remember?" Elecmon remembered not to use his human name.

"They attacked me. So they must die."

Kari listened to the conversation between the two digimon when Angewomon was hit by an other blast of dark energy, causing her to dedigivolve to Salamon.

Kari held on to the kitten tight as she looked at the dark digimon who was out to destroy them

'No, it can't end like this.'

"Super thunder strike!" Elecmon saw no other solution than to attack the Ultimate. He knew that he couldn't defeat him but he could buy the digidestined some time.

Tai aimed another attack towards the humans but missed when Elecmon hit him. The attack soared towards the sky, eventually disappearing.

He turned towards the Rookie, growling at him.

"I don't know what's gotten into you but I know you don't want to hurt them."

"You don't know anything"

Tai's human side made advantage of the confusion and was beginning to regain control, fuelled by the need to save his friends from himself.

'You can't allow them to live Tai.'

'I can't allow you to kill them. They're still my family.'

Tai began to regain control over his body.

'If you let them live they'll hunt you down later' his instincts argued.

'That's a risk I'm willing to take.'

He turned to Kari, who was still trembling with fear. Their eyes met for a split-second and Kari recognized his eyes from somewhere.

Then Tai turned around and ran.

'Taimon' Patamon dropped the baby he was still holding into Elecmon's arms and chased his friend.

As Tai ran he thought about what he nearly did.

'I'm a monster.'

Tai just kept running, not paying attention to the branches in his way.

'I nearly killed them. My friends and family.'

He moved swiftly between the trees, ignoring the flapping of wings and pleas coming from behind him.

'What if it happens again? What if I can't regain control then? What if...'

"Taimon!" Patamon yelled as his wings became sore. Chasing Tai had drained his energy.

"Please stop running!" Patamon yelled as he landed, having to rest his wings.

Tai finally decided to listen to the rookie and stopped.


I hope that this chapter is better then the last one. please review.
