Kingdom Digimon part 2
"Dark Apprentice"
I can't believe this is happening to me. I'm only eight years old why would such decisions fall on my shoulders. I thought about possibly outcomes. I didn't want to betray my friends…at least that's not what I intend to do. I was so confused. All this talk of darkness, paths, and roads made me want to look at a map. Patamon looked at me with eyes like he was expecting something.
"T.K.," he finally said. I looked down at him.
"No matter what you choose or where you go you can count on me to be by your side every step. I wont ever second guess your decisions and I'll always protect you,"
When Patamon said that I felt a little at ease knowing he would be by my side no matter what. "Thanks Patamon," I said as I picked him up and gave him a hug. Patamon then started to squirm in my grip. I didn't understand why until he jumped out my arms and got into a battle pose. I looked up the cliff to see Leomon looking down at me with his empty eyes.
"Destroy the dark digidestined," he muttered then ran down the cliff. Patamon shot out a Boom bubble but it only slightly slowed him down. I told Patamon we should run. I could tell he didn't like the idea, but he went along. We ran until we came to a spot that seemed safe. Patamon looked determined and nervous at the same time. I wish I could do something for him, but before I could do that Leomon sliced through the tree we were hiding behind. I couldn't help but panic, but the strange thing is I didn't I just looked at him like he was just kitten. Suddenly I felt something deep inside me want to say something. As Leomon raised his dagger I opened my mouth.
"Leomon I command you to stop," without giving a second thought he stopped dead in his tracks. Patamon couldn't believe it, but I started to understand. These gears were dark energy, and I could control dark energy, and dark energy was influencing Leomon at the time so it made sense. Whoa am I getting smarter or something. I would of never figured that out myself. I guess the only thing is what is this Devimon. I think I'm connected to him and if he is what's the connection. I don't have time to think as I guess Leomon is back under Devimon's orders. This time I was saved but a blue fire coming out of nowhere. Leomon jumped out of the way to avoid the attack. "T.K!" That voice. I look to see Matt riding on Garurumon. He jumps off Garurumon and then his digimon engages Leomon. They fight for a while until that dork Ogermon came along. He was holding a baby digimon hostage. That is until I notice Tai swipe him when he wasn't looking. Alright it seemed like we were winning so I allowed myself to calm down.
"Hey Tai!" I look to see Izzy on Kabuterimon with Mimi and Palmon. Tai and Izzy started talking about something, but I couldn't hear and truthfully I didn't much care. I pull out my device then point it at Leomon.
"Leomon I command you to stop!" My device gave off a dark glow. Leomon stopped for a moment, but was quickly starting to shrug me off. Devimon is most likely pulling his strings the other way. It was like a mental tug of war, I could feel it. I knew I was winning that is until more dark gears came. I smiled at this. "He just practically gave me more power," Patamon was the only one to notice the smile. Leomon started walking towards me. Matt placed himself in front of me with his arm up. I tried my device again, but no luck ugh I guess I need more power. We were doomed until Tai came up then put his device in his face. Then Matt went to back him up. The gears just went out his back after that. The gears went high into the sky. I raised my device and the gears became dark energy and shot right into it.
Leomon went back to normal and Ogermon retreated. Leomon gathered us around and began to explain some things to us. I wasn't listening I was too busy staring at Infinity Mountain. There wasn't anything Leomon said interest me in the slightest. Whoa I'm not usually this rude to someone. I was taken from my thoughts when Patamon was poking me with his wings. I looked down at him and his eyes went from me to everyone else. When I looked everyone was looking at me.
"Sorry I was uh just thinking," I thought they were mad 'cause I wasn't listening.
"T.K. show Leomon your digivice," Patamon said. "Oh," I dug into my pocket to show my digivice. Leomon was intrigued he took a closer then frowned.
"What's wrong Leomon is his busted?" Tai asked.
"No…but I fear he may be trouble to the rest of you,"
"What brings you to that conclusion?" Izzy asked.
"There's darkness in him and you all are the digidestined. You fight for the light against the darkness, so if he wields darkness then sooner or later you'll fight him," Leomon started to reach behind his back.
"Are you saying that my little brother is evil!" Matt barked. I enjoy conversations about me, but not including me in them. I never understood sarcasm what's going on with my mind!
"He may be trouble if he's around you all and could possibly be a potential threat,"
"How he looks harmless and besides Patamon still hasn't digivolved yet," Tai added.
"But that would explain why the black gears are attracted to him," Izzy said.
"Uh guys," I said. That grabbed everyone attention. They looked at me like they forgot I was there. Isn't that nice. I so little and young I'm invisible. I put aside my grief then began to speak.
"I think I can decide what I become and what I am no matter what powers I have. So Leomon you'll just have to trust me," I said. Then I stood up and walked away Patamon right behind me. I could feel them staring at me. Am I really that difficult to understand. I walked to the edge of the island where I could get a good look at Infinity Mountain. I sighed.
"Don't worry T.K…I won't question you," I couldn't help but smile. Knowing that someone understood that and me even if he didn't he would still be there. I bat him on the head then look back at the mountain. "Hey T.K.!" I turn my head to see Matt.
"We're heading to the mountain come on lets go," I nodded then walked along with him. I got in the boat with the others. Leomon gave me a funny look and I shot one right back at him. What else you expect me to do I'm only eight. We ride in the boat and land on the mountain. We're walking up the side while Leomon tells us about Devimon. He keeps looking back at me. It's starting to creep me out, but I don't let it show. Things go smoothly until Devimon pops out this building and is like gigantic. I try and keep my nerve. He merely turns around and creates a wind that blows us against the wall. The digimon digivolve well except for Patamon. He needs more dark energy to digivolve and I'm still short…on energy.
Devimon bats the digimon around then reaches for me. I flinch and Patamon dives down to rescue me. We're both caught. Devimon then tries to crush us. I couldn't help but wail out. "I can't give up here not now," I grunt. Then my digivice starts to glow and the strangest thing is its not darkness or light. It like a mixture of both…I think its called tie die. Then Patamon starts to glow this strange light. Devimon lets us go since it was too much for him. I could hear him say "Patamon digivolved to… Angemon,"
I saw an angel giving off the strange light. He had a golden rob long hair. White wings and covered in white. I also say his shoulder guard was black, and his cloth was black too. He was a mix of light and darkness. He started gathering energy both light and dark. Ogermon tried to defend his mater but was blown away by the awesome power. Angemon placed both hands on each end. He brought his hands in and the pole vanished. He was ready for an attack. "Be careful!" I call to him. He turned and looked at me.
"I'll get him relax," Devimon come in for the kill, but Angemon beat him to it. "Twin Hands of Fate!" He pointed both his fist and a powerful blast went right through Devimon. Devimon said a few words then disappeared. Angemon just looked at me as my eyes were filled with tears. My heart was aching so badly. The only one I could rely on, the only one who would follow me without question, and my best friend was vanishing before my eyes.
"Don't worry I'll come back if you want me to," He then disappeared completely.
"ANGEMON!" I cried as I collapsed to my hands and knees.
If only I had more dark energy, if only I had gathered more dark power, he wouldn't have needed to use all his power. I felt the shadows started to gather around. I was so filled with turmoil that I didn't even care. I knew the others were there, but I didn't care. They had all their partners with them while mine was gone. If they weren't so weak Angemon would still be here. For a brief moment I hated them with all my might I really did. For a moment I didn't care who they were or what they were to me. I open my eyes to see his feathers then they started to glow until they formed an oval. It stopped glowing then it looked like an egg. That was the moment the hate went away as well. The darkness that surrounded me left to. I had no idea so much dark power surrounded me. I picked up the egg and hugged it. I wont let their stupidity or my lack of power hurt you ever again. Matt put his hand on my head. I glanced at him then stood up holding the egg. That's when we noticed something. A few rocks fell then a man appear. A man appeared a very old man from the looks of it to. We all surrounded the being. "So who are you?" Tai asked.
"My name is Gennai,"
"So Gennai do you know how we can get home?" Joe asked. He just shrugged.
"Do you know how we can get off this island?" Sora asked. Again he shrugged.
"Can you at least tell us what you want from us?" I asked with a bit of hate. It was annoying that he couldn't answer anything, and he called us. I think he was just blowing off the questions. Everyone looked at me obviously able to hear the hate in my voice. "Well?" I asked again.
He coughed, "Yes I wanted to tell you all that I want you to come to server. Server is a continent before you ask and has quite a problem with evil digimon. I was hoping that you could help,"
"And why should we do that no wait scratch that why should we care?" I asked. It was clear to see I wasn't in the best of moods.
"W-Well you will be able to find your crest and tags. (His image disappeared and an image of a crest and tag appeared) You will need these in order to be able to digivolve further," Now he said something that got my attention. I guess to find these crest we must go. Then I remembered something.
"Hey Gennai what do you know about guys in black in coats?" I asked.
Before he could answer his signal starts to break up. "Sorry, but it seems…" That's all he said before he was gone. I kicked the thing. "Hey come back you didn't answer my question!" No response. I sighed then turned my attention to the others. They were just staring at me. I didn't feel like a staring content so I turned and began to walk. The others follow. We find a quiet spot off the mountain where we discuss or next plan of action wait excuse me they discuss our next plan of action. I'm not really in it since ya know who cares about what I think. I just rub my egg gently. That Gennai guys knew a whole lot more then what he gave credit for I know it. What 'it' is, is beyond me. Matt came to talk to me so I gave him a fake smile and reassurance that I was fine. He pulled me into where the conversation was taking place.
"Lets just go," I said. Everyone looks at me star struck. Is it so unbelievable that I want to go or is it that I'm so young I would usually just go along with whatever they decided. I have a brain to and it works just fine.
"We've got nothing to lose and staying on this island won't bring us any answers," It was a rational and well thought argument. Which is why everyone was starring at me even harder. Did they really think I was that clueless? Eventually everyone stopped staring and thought about what I said. Then they all agreed to go. The next day we were hard at work building a raft. The digimon friends we made helped out to. Leomon stopped to look at me. This was getting old real fast, but this time he spoke.
"I'm sorry for accusing you of being the enemy I was trying to keep an eye on you to make sure you would betray us for Devimon, but after you digimon made such a sacrifice I doubt you no more thank you," he said then went back to work. I'm glad that was over.
We finished the raft and gathered some food. We raced down to the raft and suddenly I felt movement between my hands. I looked down at the egg with a smile. Then a white blob stuck its head out. It jumped out the egg with a smile. I was so happy I a spun around and cuddled him to my face. I didn't care how stupid I looked I was glad my partner was back. We got on the raft and journey on the ocean. Then we ran into a Whamon as Tentomon pointed out. He swallowed us whole. He made it to the stomach where we saw a black gear. Palmon used her vines and Tai climbed up. He used his digivice to remove it and my digivice absorbed it. We came back out Whamon through a hole on his back. We landed back in the water. Whamon felt guilty and decided to give us a lift to server. Tai told him about the tags and crest and Whamon told us to get inside while he dived down. He let us out to look around. We meet up with a digimon named Gimogimon he had a black gear too. Gommamon digivolved to Ikkakumon to take care of him. Ikkakumon beat him and I got the dark energy from the gear. Poyomon found a box with tags in it. His powers must be starting to return from the energy I gathered so far.
I gave the box to Matt, I had already taken out the one I felt was mine. Matt gave out the crest and then we returned to Whamon. We enjoyed the ride a whole lot more then the raft for sure. We all decided to take a nap for a while.
I was in a dark place. I couldn't see anything. I noticed a light far off. I walked towards it. I know this goes against what your supposed to do when you see a light at the end of a dark tunnel, but I know I didn't die. I was almost there when something grabbed me. I looked back to see nothing but darkness. I pulled but the more I struggled the more I was consumed. I saw Angemon come to save me. I was glad. I reached out, but when he reached out a hand went right through his stomach and grabbed my whole head. I could see between his fingers the Angemon was pale. Then he disappeared. I started to cry. The hand belonged to Devimon. He started to sink his claws into my skull. I wailed out as I felt every minute of it. Even a nightmare shouldn't feel like this. It was harder to breath. Then a sudden calmness came to me. The darkness was wrapped around my body all the way to my neck. My eyes were empty and my vision started to fade. Devimon laughed. "Darkness is who you are and what you will become. You will become a nobody," After that I lost consciousness.
I woke up screaming. I then tried to catch my breath since I couldn't enjoy it before. Never know what you have until its gone. I had awoken everyone except Poyomon and Tai who were already up. I was trembling with my knees to my chest. That nightmare was terrifying. Poyomon looked at me shaking. He must be able to sense my displeasure.
"You okay little guy?" Tai said bending down to my level. I only nodded while I shook. It wasn't very convincing.
"T.K what happened did you have a bad dream?" Sora asked. I nodded. Bad was as understatement. I looked down just to make sure I didn't wet myself. To my relief I didn't. Sora got close so she could try to calm me down. She tried to hug, but the moment she wrapped her arms around me I pulled away. "I-I'll be fine," I said. At this everyone started getting worried.
"Sometimes talking about does make you feel better," Izzy said.
"Then lets talk about your problems!" I snapped. He didn't expect this so he was silent. "Okay then leave me alone,"
"Come on T.K. calm down lets just talk about it," Matt said putting his hand on my head. The moment he did I reacted not so nicely. I smacked his hand away turning to him.
"I said I'm fine and I don't want to talk about it alright so drop it!" I know I was acting like a jerk and a head case but that dream just freaked me out way too much. Everyone backed off seeing as I snapped at even Matt. I sat in solitary one another side of Whamon. Poyomon came over then came up my arm then sat on my head. I didn't stop him, but I gave the aura of 'please don't talk to me unless you are a very good swimmer'. I wasn't angry with anyone, but I was confused and scared. People do all kinds of things when their scared…right. Whamon dropped us off at Server. Everyone was still looking at me, but I wasn't watching. Matt wanted to comfort me, but I already gave him a look so that should be enough for him to keep his distance.
I have to calm down and figure this out. The others can't help me or I don't want them to I don't know. I wonder what Devimon meant when he said I would become a Nobody.
