DISCLAIMER: I will never, in the history of my entire lifetime, own Digimon.
Author's Note: I know it's been like a day since I posted the last chapter, but I finished Chapter Four. The battle between Izzy and Michael is now going to commence. Who will win? Read to find out.
That said… enjoy!
The Courage to Face the Darkness
Chapter Four- Insane Verses the Brain
"Go get him Wizardmon," Michael said.
"Get in there Kabuterimon!" Izzy yelled.
The battle began. Wizardmon raised his staff firing his Magical Game into the air, which Kabuterimon easily dodged by flying through the air.
"Electro Shocker," Kabuterimon exclaimed as a ball of electricity was formed in his arms and fired at Wizardmon. The attack hit dead on dealing massive damage.
"Nice, attack," Wizardmon commented. "Too bad you'll never be able to kill me if you're still in champion form."
"He right Kabuterimon!" Izzy called out. "Digivole to Ultimate!"
"You got it Izzy!" Kabuterimon called back as he and Izzy's crest started to glow. "Kabuterimon digivole to… MegaKabuterimon!" MegaKabuterimon took up the entire pier raring to end Wizardmon's winning streak. "Horn Blaster!" he yelled firing a beam of energy from his horn.
"Magical Game!" Wizardmon yelled as his staff glowed. He swung at MegaKabuterimon's attack and deflected it back towards MegaKabuterimon.
"Not good." MegaKabuterimon almost said under his breath after being struck by his own attack. The attack knocked MegaKabuterimon backwards causing him to fall backwards into the water. Wizardmon flew over and fired many Magical Game attack at MegaKabuterimon, who returned fire with Horn Blaster beams.
As the battle was raging, Michael turned his attention towards Izzy. "What made you assume I wanted to destroy the digital world?" he asked.
"What do you mean by that?" Izzy answered with another question. "You mean you don't want to destroy the digital world?"
"Of course not."
"Then why target us for our crests?"
"As I told your unconscious friend over there, I want to have unrivalled power."
"How would stealing our crests get you unrivalled power?"
"I'll tell you the same words I told Joe. With each crest a single person possesses, the balance of power created by the crests tips in their favor. With each crest I have, me and Wizardmon become stronger."
"Why would you want unrivalled power?"
"Well it isn't to hard to figure out. And since we have time to kill as Wizardmon kills MegaKabuterimon, I'll tell you my entire reason for why I'm collecting the ten crests. Why don't we start with my parents' death? About six years ago, one night, the night before you and the others were sent to the digital world, a Phantomon came out of my computer. The digimon was pure evil, so evil that he killed both of my parents while they slept, right in front of my eyes. Then he fled back into the computer. As you should know, this devastated me, and anyone I told wouldn't believe me. Upset I decided to take my anger out on my computer. Later, when I went to my computer I noticed a weird device on my desk. The device was a digivice. When I picked up the digivice, my computer glowed and I was transported to the digital world. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a world of amazement for me. I decided to wander the world seeing that I had no purpose in the human world since I had no family left and no friends. I eventually stumbled upon a weird looking library. The building turned out to be called the Digital Library of History. From there, I read the history of the entire digital world. I was amazed at all of the things I read. Digivolution, the Primary Village, the different power levels of digimon, classification, and most importantly, the Digidestined. Upon my readings though, I came to find Wizardmon, the newest protector of the library. We instantly connected. He showed me more the library had to offer, including the ability to see anything or anyone you wanted to in the digital world. Using the unique powers of the library, I came across the present Digidestined as they battle all of their foes. You were able to defeat all of them. The kind of power you showed was amazing. It was power I wanted. Power I had wish I had the night my parents were killed. Later, after you guys defeated MaloMyotismon, a new crest was created to keep the balance of power safe. The crest is the one that was given to me, because of my painful past. The crest was the crest of Darkness, created from the evil of all the digimon that the Digidestined destroyed. When I received the crest, I knew what I could do to gain what I wanted to have the kind of power I wanted. I would obtain the crests from the most powerful people in both worlds. The nine other crests of the nine strongest Digidestined. Since Wizardmon was my friend, he became my official partner. Now we are executing our plan."
"It's amazing what you have been through, but the power you want should never be in the hands of one person. Also you destroyed the digimon and best friends of two of my friends. I can't let you succeed in collecting all ten crests."
"Then I'll have to destroy Tentomon too. I'm disappointed in you Izzy. I thought that someone else who lost his parents would understand why I needed the crests."
"It is true that my real parents are dead, Michael. But the ones I have now are two people who couldn't love me more. To me they're my real parents!"
"Well I'm about to send you back to them without your crest or partner! Finish MegaKabuterimon off Wizardmon!" rage seemed to be in Michael's voice.
"Yes, Michael," Wizardmon replied as his blasted MegaKabuterimon with another Magical Game attack. The two digimon had been going at it for awhile now and it seemed the Wizardmon was winning since MegaKabuterimon hadn't landed a single blow to Wizardmon during the entire duration of Michael's story.
MegaKabuterimon was hit by another attack. In exhaustion, MegaKabuterimon fell on his back. "No!" Izzy screamed out. "MegaKabuterimon, you can't lose! You need to become stronger!"
MegaKabuterimon called back to Izzy, "Izzy. Lend me your strength!" As soon as MegaKabuterimon's sentence was complete, Izzy's crest and digivice began to glow even more. A strange power came over MegaKabuterimon, as he began to glow.
"MegaKabuterimon?" Izzy asked puzzled as to what was happening.
"MegaKabuterimon digivole to…" MegaKabuterimon began to say. "…HerculesKabuterimon!" An even bigger digimon was now standing in the place of MegaKabuterimon. MegaKabuterimon had digivoled from Ultimate to Mega.
"Prodigious," Izzy said in amazement as he looked at the Mega form of his partner.
"Thank you Izzy," HerculesKabuterimon called out as he charged up an attack. "Mega Electroshocker!" he yelled as a death blowing attack was launched at Wizardmon.
"You did it HerculesKabuterimon!" Izzy cried in excitement. But his tears of joy soon became tears of sadness as he looked at the sight of Wizardmon deflecting the attack back towards HerculesKabuterimon.
Michael began to laugh softly. "I told you that you would lose," he stated watching HerculesKabuterimon begin dematerialize.
"No," Izzy screamed in pain as he saw HerculesKabuterimon become bits of deleted data. Tears were falling heavily from his eyes now as he looked at he partner slowly disappear until nothing was left of him.
Michael then calmly walked over to Izzy and relinquished Izzy's crest of Knowledge. Izzy then fell over and slipped out of consciousness. "Guess he wasn't as smart as I thought," Michael uttered as he walked off down the ally in which he had entered, with Wizardmon following him. All that there was left on the pier was two digidestined out cold… and two crushed souls.
