So, did you, my dearest readers, start to like DarkAkumon? I mean, LIKE HER? And, as DA's gender is already revealed… Then you already know a part of herself! Then… Witness what will happen in this chapter and see what DA plans to do! ;)
DA: YEAH! Well… Honestly, I'll be away from my normal self in this chapter. Really…
RDvm: Aww… Then I'll miss your normal self…
DA: [blushes] W-WHAT DID YOU SAY? M-MISS ME? ARE YOU SERIOUS?
RDvm: [blushes] I-I mean, as a friend of yours, of course! I-I won't feel that way to you, you know!
DA: N-never mind! (WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU DA? ARGGH! DON'T SAY THAT YOU ACTUALLY… *gulp!* L-LIKE RDvm?)
RDvm: (UGH! What the heck is happening to me? Get a hold of yourself, RDvm! AAAAAH!)
Me: OH MY… I CAN SEE A LOT OF ANTS GOING HERE! Is there something SWEET around here? O_O
DA & RDvm: [blushes] W-WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? NO IT'S NOT! AAAAAAAH!
Me: This seems to be a side-story in this fic… Ugh… Then I guess I'll have to work on this RDvm/DA portion too… xD
DA: WHAT THE HECK? DON'T EVER DARE DO THAT! OR ELSE… YOU'LL… YOU'LL BE…
Me: DA, I'm the author! I can do what I want to happen to my creations, GET IT? MUAHAHAHA!
RDvm:(Great, now even our own author sounded crazy like DA… Ugh… ¬_¬")
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon & its characters, for the exception of my OCs (Original Characters): DarkAkumon, SereneAngewomon & FighterAngemon, and a game by Square Enix that is mentioned halfway through the chapter.
Chapter 10 – "The Struggle for Free Will! DA's Suffering"
It was a very peaceful morning… No threats were present at that time, just the people living in peace without any interference…
DA: *yawn…* H-hi, Taichi…
Taichi: W-wait, did you just call me by my name?
DA: Yeah, so…? Is there anything wrong with that?
Taichi: N-no, it's just… It makes me feel relived upon you calling me "Taichi"!
DA: O-OH, REALLY…? Ahehehe… Hehehe…
Taichi: Hahaha… Haha… Ha… [looks at Hikari's picture held in his hands]
DA: H-hey, who's that girl with you there?
Taichi: She's… my sister.
DA: Oh… I remembered, we were supposed to talk about her, right? So, about your sister…
Taichi: Hikari…
DA: …"Hikari"? What a nice name, honestly speaking.
Taichi: Aww, thanks, DA. Sigh… I miss her so much…
DA: "Hikari" means light, and also represents good. That contrasts my own name… Dark, for darkness, and "Aku", meaning evil. On a side note, I am the Warrior of the Evil Darkness… Thus my name, "DarkAkumon". Such a beautiful name for someone like your sister…
Taichi: D-DA… I didn't know… You were that serious about what you really are? Hmm… but, let's talk more about Hikari…
She… She's the one that makes me happy in times of sadness, helps people without thinking of the danger she could get into… She helps people selflessly, leading her to danger…
DA: Hmph, people like her tends to die early. She's just killing herself…
Taichi: I have to admit, you're right… But in turn, the ones she helped returned the favor & helped her too.
DA: Hmm… Well then, where is Hikari?
Taichi: Hikari… She… She died. She sacrificed herself as S.A, choosing to go with Parallelmon, the Digimon form copied by Metamormon & morphed into it, in the portal he opened, so that he may not do his dirty tricks & therefore cannot return back…
DA: (Metamormon? U-ungh! My head… W-where did I hear that name again…?)
~Flashback~
?: I need to… stop Metamormon… Even though this Dark Ocean seeps my powers of light out of me…
?: You… You cannot stop me… Urgh… Let the darkness… CONSUME YOU!
~End flashback~
DA: (I somehow became a witness between those two… I'm pretty sure the other Digimon is Metamormon… But, the other one…? It's a Warrior of Light… S.A? Then… Does this mean… They got stuck into the Dark Ocean? And I came from that place? Anyway, it is a really DARK place, absorbing the light that is within it, from what I know since that time, a very long time ago… So, I'm a Digimon from the Dark Ocean?)
Taichi: I wonder if she's still alive… Sigh…
DA: Who knows? She might have escaped that scary place…
Taichi: Scary place? Do you know anything about what happened to Hikari?
DA: A-aah… N-nothing… I just said that 'cause I think that the portal she ended up in is indeed scary… But I dunno.
Taichi: Oh… I really thought that… Someone could tell something about her…
DA: Sorry to have you disappointed. Well, should we go eat breakfast?
Taichi: Of course DA! Let's go!
~ o ~ o ~
Meanwhile, someone else is watching them from the door…
Yuuko: Wait, so that's DarkAkumon? But why is she in Taichi's room? And Taichi's talking to that Digimon too! Is she planning to do something with our son…?
Susumu: Ne, Yuuko, what are you talking about?
Yuuko: Look, that Digimon is DarkAkumon! She's a deadly Digimon, remember? In the news?
Susumu: Oh, right! Don't worry, I'll beat her up! Wait, "her?" DarkAkumon's a girl? Then I-
Yuuko: You don't have to be such a gentleman to her, so… What should we do?
Susumu: Here… We should do this…
DA: [puts on her ragged cloak] Wooh… It really is cold nowadays.
Taichi: Heh, daijoubu, our meal for today is a bowl of miso soup to warm us up!
DA: Miso? That sounds… Tasty. I think.
Taichi: There, DA! Doesn't that smell make you so hungry?
DA: I don't know. 'Cause I don't care…
Taichi: Aww, DA, don't be such a Neku!
DA: Neku? What do you mean?
Taichi: Neku Sakuraba is the main character in a hit Modern RPG game, "The World Ends with You", where he is a very unsociable guy & really, really hates to interact with people. Oh, and on a side note, he doesn't have friends too.
DA: I got your point. You're relating that guy to me. Nice job, video game-addict.
Taichi: H-hey! I just heard it from somewhere! Hehehe…
DA: Hmph. [drinks some of the miso soup]
Taichi: …So, did you like it?
DA: Hmm, actually… This is kinda good! Who did this tasty soup?
Taichi: My mother did that! Great cook, isn't she?
DA: Yeah, I have never tasted something like this before… Regards to your Okaasan.
Taichi: Wow DA, you learned to acknowledge others! That's great!
DA: Hmph, just following what everyone thinks right.
Taichi: Hmm… Wanna go out again?
DA: Haha, not to someone like you… Joke! Sure, why not? Just don't drag me down.
Taichi: You will? Great! C'mon, let's go!
~Near an ice cream store…~
Taichi: DA, you should try this ice cream… It's addicting!
DA: I don't afford to eat things made by pathetic losers.
Taichi: Hey, hey! Don't say that in front of the vendor.
DA: Heh. Then I shouldn't-
Taichi: Two chocolate-flavored ice creams please!
DA: What the heck are you doing, you noob?
Taichi: I'm convincing you to eat this, NOW!
DA: Well, it's edible… Here goes nothin'! [takes a bite from the ice cream]
Taichi: Mmm, delicious, right? But… Why are we even buying ice cream during winter? Hehe, silly me…
DA: Yeah, you are the silliest guy in the world. Now, lend me some money!
Taichi: Huh? For what?
DA: IT'S NOT YOUR BUSINESS! JUST GIVE ME!
Taichi: O-ok! Here! [gives out a few yen to DA]
DA: Oh, you guy on that stand! GIVE ME ONE CHOCO-FLAVORED ICE CREAM!
Vendor: R-right away, sir!
DA: IT'S MA'AM, GET IT? NOW, GIMME!
Taichi: (Here's the crazy side of DA again…) You don't have to scare vendors for them to give what you want, DA…
DA: [eats the ice cream cone hurriedly] THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I DON'T EVEN LIKE THE TASTE OF THIS THING! BUT I DO ENJOY EATING IT!
Taichi: So, did you like it, at least?
DA: Heck, NO! I DON'T WANT CHEAP THINGS, GET IT? (But this is really addicting, I have to admit!) GIMME MORE, YOU STUPID VENDOR!
Vendor: Hey, I'm not-
DA: GIMME ALL THE CHOCO ICE CREAM YOU HAVE IN STOCK!
Vendor: As what I'm about to say, I'm not scared of you. If you would have to get all of them for free, my stand will never earn!
DA: I DON'T CARE! GIVE THEM, OR FACE DEATH! [aims her gun at the vendor] I SHALL PREVAIL! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
Vendor: *gulp!* H-here you go! G-gotta run! [flees away]
DA: THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! WHAHAHA! [eats the ice cream 2-3 cones at the same time]
Taichi: [sweatdrops] I thought you didn't like that "cheap thing" or whatever you call the ice cream…
DA: I'M JUST ADDICTED, BUT I'M NOT EVER GONNA LOVE THIS THING! (YUMMY! MUAHAHAHA!)
Taichi: Sounds like irony to me…
DA: IRONY? DON'T YOU BELIEVE IN MY WORDS? OR ELSE, I'M GONNA CUT YOUR HEAD OFF TOO! MUAHAHAHA!
Taichi: You're just hiding your feelings, DA. I just know it… Sigh…
Days have passed… Taichi encouraged DA even more to enjoy life as a normal Digimon and to grow up friendly with his aid & , DA's days of friendship might finally come to an end…
~Night, Taichi & Hikari's Bedroom~
DA: Hmm, that was pretty scary. Don't ever bring me to that place with me without a disguise! UGH!
Taichi: Hahaha! Aw, come on, DA! I promise, it won't happen to you again!
DA: Hmph. [gets her old cloak, uses it to prevent the coldness she feels] Brr…
Taichi: Are you shivering? You can borrow Hikari's trusty ol' blanket if you would like.
DA: But, Taichi…!
Taichi: [cloaks DA from the cold] I used to do this to Hikari, and actually… I only did this to the two of you.
DA: Really… Then I would be one of the unlucky ones then, along with Hikari.
Taichi: I know you like using irony, don't you? I know you meant the opposite thing.
DA: Y-you! You got me. Hehehehe…
Taichi: Well, we gotta rest for our trip to Yamato's apartment tomorrow. Good night, DA!
DA: Oyasuminasai, Taichi… *Yawn…*
Taichi: Sleep tight, DA! (Hmm, weird… Agumon's not here yet… Is he serious?)
DA: [faces the window] Phew… So much fun for a day… I surely enjoyed the mall tour with him! But I seemed to be so embarrassing… With this ragged & torn cloak, I'm gonna suffer! But good thing that Taichi is generous enough to lend me his sister's jackets & other clothing… That surely made him remember the pain he felt when Hikari died. I just felt it from him too…
~ o ~ o ~
Unknown Voice: DarkAkumon! I am calling out to you! Listen to me this instant!
DA: [suddenly holds head] U-ungh… My head again…
Taichi: [wakes up a bit] Y-you okay, DA?
DA: N-no, it's nothing, Taichi… Just bumped my head on the wall…
Taichi: Ohhkay…? Then, I could go back to sleep… Zzzzzzz…
DA: T-that was close… U-urgh…But the pain… It won't go away…
Unknown Voice: DarkAkumon! You are to initiate our plan tomorrow night! Prepare for it, or face death…
DA: (Y-yes, understood…)
~The Next Evening…~
DA: Taichi… Gomenasai…
Taichi: So, shall we proceed to Yamato's?
DA: Y-yes, Taichi! Hahaha…
Taichi: You sure act weird today… Is there something wrong?
DA: Nothing. Don't mind me, Taichi. I just want to spend my time alone again…
Taichi: 'Kay DA. I understand. C'mon, let's go!
DA: (Taichi… I'm sorry, I'm just forced to do this… Just because of that voice commanding me all the time! ARGGH!)
~ o ~ o ~
Taichi: We're almost there! Just a little more to go, DA!
DA: …
Taichi: (I'm sure there's something wrong with her… I can just sense it, just as how I can to Hikari…) [knocks on Yamato's door]
*KNOCK, KNOCK*
Yamato: Yo? Who's there? Oh, Taichi!
Taichi: Hey, Yamato! Just visiting you again. And I'm going to intro- (Eh? Where's DA?) N-never mind!
Yamato: S-so…
~ o ~ o ~
~Hours Later…~
DA: Hmph… I don't know what to do… This is the first time I became nervous with something… Arggh…
Unknown Voice: NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME, DARKAKUMON!
DA: A-AAAGH!
Unknown Voice: This is the perfect time… TO INVIGORATE YOURSELF! Now go, Warrior of the Evil Darkness! BETRAY THAT BOY AND KILL HIM!
DA: K-kill him? But that's out of-
Unknown Voice: Do you want to get stronger, or not? If you do, then GO WITHOUT HESITATION!
DA: A-aagh… Tai… TAICHI!
Taichi: DA! She's calling me!
Yamato: Huh? DA-what?
Taichi: Gotta go! This is an emergency!
Yamato: Who's DA anyway? Weird…
Taichi: DA! W-where are you?
DA: A-AAAAAAAAGH! Go away… GET AWAY FROM ME!
Taichi: [notices DA on a dead end, runs to her] DA, what's wrong? Please, tell me! I wanted to help you!
DA: Taichi, I-I beg you… Don't go any closer to me…
Taichi: Huh, what? No, I won't let you go! Hold tight, DA! [grabs DA's hands]
DA: LET GO! TAICHI, PLEASE, YOU'LL JUST GET HURT! A-AAAAGH!
Taichi: DA…? [lets go of DA] W-woah! Why are you… emanating an aura of darkness?
DA: Please, Taichi… I can't afford… to hurt you in any way… just for that simple desire… [tears silently drop from her eye]
Taichi: Demo… What is really happening to you, DA? Answer me!
DA: A-agh… Taichi… Run… I… I… RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Taichi: DA…? D-DARKAKUMON!
DarkAkumon unleashed a very large amount of dark energy, making that darkness surround her, making a dark aura for her source of unstoppable power & energy…
…But causing DA to be totally out of herself, becoming a wild, mindless, raging Digimon that thirsts for more power, her eyes glowing a crimson red, and has no consciousness of its own…
DA: [eyes glow a bloody red] RRRGH…
Taichi: D-DA, is that you…? Are you-
DA: GRRRR! [tries to scratch Taichi]
Taichi: [backs away] A-aaah! (DA said that… I should go away from her… Yet, she said… that she cannot hurt me in any way… She's… She's trying to save me… But, I should stop her outrage too! She might be controlled by some kind of being around here… Don't worry DA, I won't leave you alone!)
DA: I NEED… TO KILL YOU! I NEED… MORE POWER! GRAAH!
Taichi: B-but, I don't even have any power! Snap out of it, DA!
DA: OMAE WA… YOU HAVE THE POWER… OF THE CREST OF COURAGE IN YOUR HEART… AND THE HOLY DEVICE… THAT GIVES POWER TO YOUR AGUMON… AND I SHALL KILL HIM TOO! GRAAAAAAAH!
Taichi: Stop this, DA! I know you can't do such thing to anyone! You're not an evil Digimon at all! I trusted you!
Unknown Voice: But she is bound to betray you, for you to know.
Taichi: Wha… Who are you?
Unknown Voice: Heh, no other than DarkAkumon's creator!
Taichi: DA's… creator?
Unknown Voice: You are not mistaken, Child of Courage. Hahahaha… Now, my dear DarkAkumon, you can finish this pest once and for all… WITHOUT INTERRUPTION!
DA: GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! [runs over to slash Taichi with her swords]
Taichi: (N-no, she's gonna catch up! Oh… What will I do?)
?: Watch out, Taichi! [fires its attack to DarkAkumon]
Taichi: A-agumon! You're back to save me!
Agumon: I told you, that Digimon has an evil plan with you! Digivolve me, Taichi!
Taichi: But… (To save DA… We have to stop that guy! But, how?) [hold up his Digivice] Agumon, Digivolve!
Agumon: Agumon Warp Digivolve! WarGreymon!
Unknown Voice: Oh, a Mega Digimon! But, you can't defeat my masterpiece that easily, you know… She could even defeat Megas on her own!
WarGreymon: I'm not scared of the two of you at all! Bring it on, DORKAkumon!
DA: GAAAAAAAAAAAH! Aku no Tsuku! [throws deadly mini-bombs to WarGreymon]
WarGreymon: [shields the attack using its Dramon Killers] That isn't enough to take me down… HRAAAGH! Brave Tornado!
DA: [dodges the attack] GRRR…
WarGreymon: Heh, is that the best you can do? Then, take this! HAAAAH! Gaia Force!
DA: [stays in place] HRRRRRRRR…
WarGreymon: You can't dodge that in any way! C'mon, just try to move!
Unknown Voice: Don't try to underestimate us, foolish Digimon. A few hits don't affect us at all… DarkAkumon, show your true power!
DA: [returns the attack] GRAAAAAAAH!
WarGreymon: NANI? AAAAAH!
Taichi: I-impossible… How will we save DA this way?
WarGreymon: I won't give up to defeat you… You guys tried to hurt & even threaten Taichi's life! I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!
DA: HRRR… HRAAGH! [dashes towards WarGreymon]
WarGreymon: Grey Fire!
DA: [disappears out of thin air]
WarGreymon: Huh? Where did that creep go?
DA: BRAVE TORNADO!
WarGreymon: What? Brave Shield! Gaah…
Taichi: How… How did DA do that?
DA: HRRR…
DA's hands were transformed to that of WarGreymon's, the Dramon Killers…
Unknown Voice: MUAHAHAHA! I lent DarkAkumon some of my special powers that I didn't use for a long time… And that is to use other Digimon's attacks and abilities! Thank you for lending your hands too, my beloved Dark Digimon…
Taichi: That power… That really sounds familiar… So you were controlling DA all along! Get out of her body, now!
WarGreymon: T-then… I'll use force to make you get out, freak! GAAAH! Dramon Killers!
DA: GREY SWORD!
WarGreymon: GWAAAH! [reverts back to Agumon] S-sorry, Taichi… That DarkAkumon's too strong in her state… She can really be a formidable foe… U-ungh…
Taichi: But, she's just being forced to do this… She didn't want to do this to me at all!
Agumon: Look, Taichi, I know, she was friendly to you! But after that… She just wanted our powers, see?
Taichi: But DA is sincere… She doesn't want to hurt me at all…
Agumon: Taichi! You can't trust that Digimon! She's a traitor!
Taichi: …Then, how if she was suffering like Hikari a year ago? How if she was innocent, being accused as a traitor?
Agumon: Nngh…
Taichi: I really just feel DA's emotions since days ago. I know that she feels so sad deep in her heart… And I really didn't sense evil in her at all.
Unknown Voice: So? Can you do anything to stop us now, child?
Taichi: I know… I can't do such thing to fight you but… [runs off to DA]
Agumon: Don't be so reckless Taichi! You'll get yourself harmed with this!
Taichi: I don't care! DA, snap out of it! I know you're a genuinely good Digimon! You proved it to me since I met you!
DA: GRRR…
Unknown Voice: Oh, such a daring boy… DarkAkumon, kill him, now!
DA: GRAAAAAH! [slams him on the wall, chokes Taichi]
Taichi: DA… I understand you… Y-you said that… You can't afford to hurt me in any way… Right…? You even shed a tear for it… I felt your sincerity…
DA: HRR… HRRRR….
…T-taichi…?
Taichi: Snap out of it, DA… *cough, cough* Don't let that master of yours control your own free will…
DA: Nngh… I'm… sorry…[lets go of Taichi] A-AAAAAGGH!
Taichi: YOU, CREATOR OF DA! LET HER GO!
Unknown Voice: DarkAkumon, finish him! You don't want to die, do you?
DA: T-Taichi… I can't hold on any longer… A-aagh… Stay away… Leave me alone…
Unknown Voice: IKU ZO, WARRIOR OF THE EVIL DARKNESS! FINISH HIM OFF!
DA: …GRR… GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Agumon: Move out, Taichi! DA will kill you!
Taichi: I have to stop her in any way I can!
DA: GRR…
Agumon: [pulls Taichi with all his strength] Pfft, Taichi! E-eh…! You're so heavy!
Taichi: DA, you can do it! I don't care if I get hurt in saving you, but you're my friend! I won't leave you alone, like how I did to Agumon long ago!
Agumon: But, don't ever do that! You'll just end up doing nothing!
Taichi: DA… FACE ME! If you wanted my power… then go on… After all, I trust you. You are my friend, after all…
Agumon: Nngh… Baby Flame!
DA: SCHWARZ… BLADES!
Taichi: [closes eyes] It's now or never…
Agumon: Don't be such a fool! TAICHI!
?: HAAAH! [counters DA's attack]
Unknown Voice: WHAT? Who's that meddler who ruined the perfect moment of his destruction?
?: I'm FighterAngemon, the Warrior of Hope. And, who is that voice that speaks to me this moment?
Unknown Voice: Oh, I am DarkAkumon's creator! And, I remember you from before… You shall be finished, too!
Taichi: T-takeru! How did you-
F.A: I just passed by you & Oniichan a while ago, and I was curious to what you're talking about… So I followed you and then I saw you nearly killed by that DarkAkumon! Let's finish her, then!
Taichi: Wait! DA's our friend. She isn't evil like her brutal & cruel Master! Trust me, she will never do this to anyone of us…
F.A: Hmm, but then, she did help me last time… Wait, SHE? Anyway, well… What should I do, Taichi-san?
Taichi: I need your help… You should fend off her creator inside her! He's the one controlling her now, and caused her to go berserk!
F.A: E-EH? H-how will I do that? Hmm… But since her master is trying to control her mind… I may be able to go in her consciousness, as S.A. & I can also read minds…
Taichi: Thank goodness! Go, F.A! Save her, for the sake of her life!
F.A: [concentrates, then tries to go inside DA's mind] Hmm… Nngh…
Unknown Voice: I-insolent Digimon! You shall be erased! RAAAGH!
~Inside DA's Mind…~
F.A: Phew! This was the first time I have ever done this! Now then, where is that evil Digimon situated?
Unknown Voice: Absorb the powers of Darkness, DarkAkumon… Until no one can defeat us! MUAHAHAHAHA!
F.A: Wait, that darkness… That's some kind of dark power from the Dark Ocean!
Unknown Voice: What? You… You brat again? Hrr… my warrior, stop him! [puts more darkness into DA]
DA: STOP THIS! AAAGH! I CAN'T CONTROL MYSELF! I DON'T WANT POWERS OF YOURS ANYMORE! IT DOESN'T HELP ME ANYMORE! AAAAAAH!
F.A: Darkness… I hate it when I hear that word… But to prevent it… You have to shine light on it! (S.A, please help me… Lend me your light!) Shining Hope!
Unknown Voice: GRAAAAAAH! I can't see! RAAAGH!
DA: [falls to the ground, weakened by the overexertion of power on her] U-ungh…
F.A: You okay, DA?
DA: Yeah… Thanks…
F.A: Finally, you learned to thank people! Your creator's crazy. You should have escaped from him somehow!
DA: But… If I were to betray him… He'll… He'll take my life away…
F.A: Oh, sorry… He is your creator, after all… Well then, I'll handle it!
Unknown Voice: Do you have what it takes to challenge me, young man? GRAAAH! [moves out of the darkness in DA's mind]
F.A: Hey, you're…!
Unknown Voice: It is I, the returning Metamormon! I am the creator of DarkAkumon, the true evil Warrior of Darkness!
DA: So that's why you made me use powers to copy & manipulate other Digimon's attacks by using my hands!
F.A: You… YOU'RE THE ONE WHO LED S.A. TO DEATH! WHERE IS SHE?
Metamormon: Oh, your pathetic little partner? She died upon getting in the portal. And THAT'S IT. Her sacrifice really did nothing… I warned you a year ago, yet she didn't listen to me. Hahaha…
F.A: She tried her best to stop you, don't you see? YOU KILLED HER! GRAAAH![runs to attack Metamormon]
Metamormon: You can't attack me! MUAHAHA! I lost my physical form in the process of escaping that portal. And it's all because of that meddling S.A. of yours!
F.A: MEDDLER? S.A. IS NO MEDDLER! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT! AAAH!
Metamormon: Hehehe… [disappears out of thin air]
F.A: Get back here, you COWARD! Grrr…!
DA: F.A, stop… You're not going to defeat him in one go…
F.A: S-sorry… I kinda went out of myself again… Let's go, DA. Taichi-san's waiting for you.
DA: T-TAICHI!
Taichi: *cough, cough* DA… I'm glad… you're all right… U-ungh… [falls on the ground unconscious]
F.A: I-I got you, Taichi-san! You okay?
Taichi: …
DA: I-it's all my fault… I attacked Taichi without knowing it, but he still went on & became brave enough to stand in front of me, just to snap me out of this outrage… *sob*
F.A: [reverts back to Takeru] But… You were being controlled. It's obviously not your fault, don't worry…
DA: …I should help Taichi alone. I must repay him for his courage… I can say that he is really the wielder of the Crest of Courage… [carries Taichi, runs off]
Takeru: Wait, DA! So, Taichi-san was right… She was innocent after all…
Agumon: Tsk… I… I will protect Taichi from anyone that will hurt him, but… I just got defeated… Hrr…
Takeru: Umm, want to spend the night with us, Agumon?
Agumon: Well… A-alright… But help me in guarding Taichi, got it?
Takeru: No problem! C'mon, let's go home…
It was been revealed that Metamormon is truly DarkAkumon's creator. He controlled DarkAkumon, or, is he helping DA in her mission…? On the other hand, DA watched over Taichi all by herself… Due to the traumatic event that happened to Taichi & the Warrior of the Evil Darkness, what will become of them now? Witness DarkAkumon's total high heel face turn in the 11th chapter, "DarkAkumon's Change of Heart"!
This is the longest chapter I've typed so far ;)
DA: …
RDvm: Aww, DA, don't worry, Taichi-san will be all right!
DA: Leave me alone…
RDvm: But… Cheer up! ^_^
DA: I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU DEAF DIGIMON! ARGGH! [hits RDvm repeatedly]
RDvm: OWOWOW! I'm just trying to help you! T.T
Me: YOU'RE SUCH A LOVEY-DOVEY-
RDvm & DA: S-SHUT UP! O_O
Me: Okay, okay! Well then, did you enjoy the 10th chapter? This was surely an emotional chapter, right? And, I know, you were surprised of Metamormon returning, and him telling the truth about S.A's fate… She died in that portal!
DA: I… I saw them in the Dark Ocean! So S.A's powers were all sucked out of her, and Metamormon managed to escape, but in change of that, his physical body was lost…
Me: Hmm… But, don't miss the next chapter! PEACE OUT! ;)
