A/N: Here is the next chapter for Digimon Dissidia. This one tells on Kurata's fights and his downfall by Thomas, set up by Piedmon. Enjoy.
Chapter 6: Kurata's downfall:
Kurata has been very busy at late. Meeting up with TK and Patamon earlier, he convinces them that they would help them defeat Diaboromon, and at the same time, avoiding Piedmon's sneaky eyes. To Piedmon's fury, Kurata also broke the spell of one of his two slaves who has been brainwashing them. (Guess who). Enraged, Piedmon warned Myotstimon and Devimon about this and plan a surprise attack on them.
Kurata was about to go to the next part of his plan where he meets up with TK and Patamon alongside Davis and Veemon and Koji.
"Oh, Kurata" TK said "You're just in time. I was just telling these guys…"
"TK. I can't stay and chat, so let me get straight to the point" Kurata said.
"What's going on?" asked Patamon.
"I need to scout out things on my own for a while. Something nefarious is afoot. I believe our opponents are up to something" Kurata said.
"So are you gonna be OK by yourself?" TK asked.
"Once I've discovered their plans, I will return" Kurata said.
It was Davis' turn to talk next. "So, TK. Is this the Alice warrior we heard of but never seen?"
"Cause if he isn't…" Veemon began but Kurata cut across.
"You gentlemen really should be on the move. Think I'll take my own advice…" As Kurata begins to leave, he was cut off.
"Hold on! Not so fast" said Koji accusingly. "How do we know for sure that you are on our side?"
"Oh come on, Koji" Patamon began but a laughter cut across them. They turned to see Myotstimon appearing before them. "Myotstimon!"
"My, my, what a formidable gathering. Hoping to ambush one of your enemies, perhaps" Myotstimon said.
"TK, take your allies and go…" Kurata began but Myotstimon cut across.
"You're the one known as Kurata? Hero of harmony, and chosen of Alice?" Myotstimon sneered.
"What are you…" Kurata began but then Devimon appeared.
"There is no escape. You will not leave this place alive" Devimon said.
"Devimon" TK snarled. Then he heard Davis' voice.
"Here come another!" he called as Piedmon appeared.
"Prepaaare to meet your doooooom! But wait. I count one, two, three versus four. We seem to be outnumbered. Not fair, not fair! Call in the reinforcements!" Piedmon called and 2 crystallized version of Kurata appeared "Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear a warm round of applause for the awe-inspiring D-Reaper Soldiers! Come on in then, don't be shy! Now then, my beauties! Don't forget tomorrow is payday, let's earn those coins. Beat those Alice cronies into a bloody pulp!"
"D-Reaper Soldiers?" Veemon asked in surprise.
"Kurata, watch out!" Patamon called.
But the D-Reaper soldiers just walked past Kurata and stood in front of the heroes.
"What's this? How deliciously odd. These manikins were born to bash on Alice's cohorts They would never think of harming we comrades in chaos, but should be chomping at the bit to take a bite out of any hero of harmony. Why, pray tell, did they choose to pass you by But, no. Could it be? Surely you're not…" Piedmon said.
Koji took out his digivice. "A traitor. I knew it."
"He's… a warrior of Diaboromon all this time!" Davis said as he took out his digivice.
Kurata knew he has been caught but he decide to play along to make sure Myotstimon and Devimon doesn't catch on. He chuckles and addresses to Piedmon. "Quite the performance. Have you been rehearsing that all day?" He turned to the Warriors of Alice. "Such a shame. It seems you'll perish here after all."
"Kurata?" Patamon asked in alarm.
"Ready your digivices to make your digimon digivolve if you don' t want to die. Or perhaps you'd
prefer to just tuck tail and scamper away into the shadows?" Kurata asked.
"Wait a minute" TK said, who is getting angrier as he took his digivice out "You were lying to us the whole time?"
"Yes, I believe that's the term. The plan began with deceit, then entrapment, and now finally merciless slaughter." He chuckles nastily "It's going well, don't you think? I appreciate the thought, Piedmon. But you can pack up your little puppets. I am more than a match for these three fools!"
"If you want a fight then get ready for a good one!" Davis said "Digi Armour Energize!"
Veemon became Raidramon and prepares for battle. "Yes, no need for half measures." Kurata said before hearing Koji using his digivice and becomes Lobomon.
"Typical Dirty Diaboromon trick" said Lobomon.
"I'll take that as a compliment" said Kurata.
"You can't be serious about this!" TK said as Patamon armor digivolved to Pegasusmon.
"You should probably run-before you no longer can" said Kurata as he held out his remote. "Come to me, Belphemon!"
Suddenly, a huge digimon appeared before them. It was Belphemon, Kurata's creation. Pegasusmon, Raidramon and Lobomon all charge in to attack.
"Wind Mane!"
"Thunder Blast!"
"Howling Blaster!"
All attacks were fired and all hit Belphemon and cause a cloud of smoke. They thought it was all over, however…
"Gift of Darkness!"
A claw slash which was engulf with flame and darkness appeared and slashed them all causing Raidramon and Pegasusmon to turn back into Veemon and Patamon and Lobomon back into Koji.
"If that's all you got then you've finished now" said Kurata.
"Not if we have anything to say about it! DigiVice Flare!" TK and Davis said and held out their digivices. There was a huge flash of light which temporally blinded Kurata and Belphemon which cause them to shield their eyes. When it died down, the digidestined, Koji and their digimon had gone. Kurata was kind of relieved that they got away, but he was getting told off by Myotstimon and Devimon.
"That certainly was an interesting show. However, your antics go too far" said Myotstimon bitterly.
"It was not beneficial for us to cooperate with your plan. You endangered your fellow warriors, and risked the destruction of our divine master- such fatal flaws in your design." Devimon said "Seems like you underestimated that annoying jester digimon".
"This time you escape with a warning. I would advise against making enemies within our ranks if you wish to survive. If you so much as think of dragging me into such a foolish scheme again, I will use all the power at my disposal- to crush you like a bug!" And with that the two teleported away.
Piedmon walked up to Kurata, very cheerful and menacing "Don't pay any mind to those blabbering old villains. I was most impressed with your mischievous machinations. The fact that you...let them get away... ...is most regrettable. I'm sure next time will prove the charm. We'll make a villain of discord of you yet!"
"Oh don't patronize me" Kurata said in despair.
"Oh relax would you, I'm not being patronizing. I'm merely suggesting you take a more active role in this conflict. If you don't want to fight, then that's up to you. Your original plan is still stunning. It can still work" Piedmon said grinning "Take a dash of nostalgic memories mixed with a dollop of half-dead Kurata, and I'm sure those emotional children can be fooled into believing you again!"
"Sounds like you have it all figured out for me" Kurata said as he turned back to him "Were you really so upset? You think I let them slip through my fingers? If that's the case, then you can simply force me to battle until you're satisfied. After all, I've lost any reason to stay out of this conflict thanks to you!" he begins to walk away but stopped "Oh yes, I meant to ask you, Piedmon. Your little puppets, Kari and Gatomon, wasn't it? … how is they doing?" Piedmon grunts angrily. "Oh never mind, it's unlikely your enchantments will have faded! How silly of me to worry for you. Ridiculous!" And he walked away.
"Hmph. You've perfected the bad loser act at least. But don't you dare think this is over. The real show? That will come after you lose to a Alice crony. And I will be there the whole time, watching
while you fail!" Piedmon snarled. He decided to make Kurata fight Thomas and his allies next.
And, speaking of Thomas and his allies…
He, Gaomon, Yoshi, Lalamon, Joe, Gomamon and Taiki and Shoutmon gathered in the open area. They have just got out of fighting D Reaper Soldiers.
"What are those things?" Taiki asked in alarm.
"They looked like gooey versions of us to me" Gomamon said.
"Gee… Thanks for the inside perspective" Shoutmon said sarcastically.
"This is getting us nowhere. They just keep coming and coming" Yoshi said.
"D Reaper Soldiers. A never-ending pool of reinforcements only used by the forces of Diaboromon" Gaomon said.
"D Reaper? Rika and Renamon remembered fighting them before" said Joe "Too bad they off with Impmon to find their crystal."
"What good is having Cosmos's power, if we can't even make it out of here to use it?" Thomas snarled.
"Keep your shirt on, Thomas" Lalamon said "we just have to…"
"Well, well...if it isn't Alice's warriors, marching straight into my arms of their own accord" Kurata said as he and Piedmon appeared.
"Kurata… and Piedmon" Thomas said "It's been a while since we haven't fought anything but puppets."
"Really?" Piedmon said "Could it be you're...out of steam? Oh you poor dears! I mean turn around. You still have more D Reapers waiting for a chance to play".
Taiki and Shoutmon turned around and saw a horde of them coming. "Oh no, not again" Taiki groaned.
"Thomas and I will take care of these. You guys deal with the others behind us. Do not let them surround you" Gaomon said.
"Yes sir" Joe said "Just leave the escape route to us!"
"Thomas, Gaomon, if things look rough for you, get out" Yoshi said.
As the rest ran off, Thomas used his powers to digivolve Gaomon into MirageGaogamon Burst Mode. Before Kurata could summon Belphemon again, Piedmon cut across him.
"Well, human, It looks like now's the time for you to show us what you can do. There's only one of them too, you know? This is your chance to shine!"
"Will you not stop talking? It gives me a headache every time you open that mouth of yours" Kurata said crossly.
"Now!" Piedmon said.
"I do not take orders or cues from you, Piedmon. I will engage them when I choose, and how I choose!" Kurata snarled.
"Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, whatever, I'll, just shut up and watch you do your thing, okay? Just get on with the showing-me-that-you-can-actually-put-up-a-fight part already!" Piedmon said as he sat back as Kurata summoned Belphemon again.
Kurata turned to Thomas "No choice now but to fulfill your destiny...and fall. So pathetic and So ephemeral, boy."
"Oh I'll show you how this boy strikes" Thomas said "Let's go MirageGaogamon!"
"Gift of Darkness!" Belphemon unleashed his claw again but he missed as MirageGaogamon leaps upwards. Then MirageGaogamon kicked him to the face which cause him to struggle backwards. Kurata looked shocked, Piedmon yawned and Thomas looked on determined.
"Dark Horn" Belphemon used his horn which was covered by darkness aimed at the Burst Mode Digimon leaps away and held out his hand.
"Meteor Shackle!" A white energy ball appeared has an energy of a planet and then charged and hit Belphemon hard it make him fall back and disappeared into defeat but collided to the ground and send Kurata flying hitting his back to the wall and laid on the floor defeated.
"Oopsie! Someone went and lost, didn't he!" Piedmon taunted as he walked over to him as Kurata begins to fade away "You know what they say about second place: completely pathetic! Meh. Don't sweat it, a little thing like that's not gonna be the end of you" and with that Kurata disappeared completely as Piedmon continued "Should be the end of that rebellious phase of yours though! The
next time you fight, it'll be study time! All over again! Oh, what kind of deliciously depraved memories should I fill you up with this time around?" He cackled nastily but then he saw Thomas and MirageGaogamon Burst Mode looking at them, crossly "What! You're still here?"
"You let Kurata die?" MirageGaogamon said "You're no different than the D Reaper."
"And that is the reason you're still standing now. Shouldn't you be kissing my boots in appreciation?" Piedmon teased.
"Why you…" MirageGaogamon said but then he de-digivolved back into Gaomon. Thomas looked at Gaomon and then to Piedmon.
"Besides, it's not like he's really gonna die from that. Let him be, he'll be back!" Piedmon said.
"What? You mean he's not dead?" Thomas asked in alarm.
"Now now, don't you go prying into that. Even if I went to the trouble of explaining, you'd just forget! Well, it's been lovely, but being me doesn't mean I'm free. Good-Byeee!" Piedmon said before vanishing.
"What in the world was that about?" Thomas said to Gaomon.
"We got to make sure the others are OK" Gaomon said.
Thomas nodded. "Let's go." And they walked off.
To be continued…
A/N: Now that chapter is taken care of. Next, Thomas saw something from Koichi he didn't want to see. Stayed tuned.
