Chapter 10- Battles are ugly affairs
He was exhausted, tired, beaten, but still fighting. He knew that any time now he would collapse. He kept dodging kicks and punches, swords and attacks. It was all in vain that only made him loose more energy. He hardly left a scratch in his opponent, the only reason he hadn't go beastly was because all his power had been already drained. His opponent managed to threw a punch right at his jaw which sent him tumbling backwards.
"Still standing, I thought you would have given up by now" The clown smirked sadistically. He stepped on him with one of his foot and started to kick him all around. "Come on now, this is just a warm up"
Lobomon groaned in pain as Piedmon's foot made a connection with his body. He was alone and all by himself on this one. He had told Gabumon to take T.K and Matt to a safer place, Gabumon had resisted but with the injury Piedmon had left on him he couldn't deny the fact that he would only get in the way. Lobomon had distracted Piedmon so that the others could get away. The bearer of friendship had been very stubborn and was dragged by his brother to another place. He didn't know how long his battle with Piedmon had lasted and he honestly didn't care, but he couldn't give up… not yet. He only needed to get his hand on the key chains.
Those keychain, they mocked him. He could feel the pain inside of them, they were all in pain. So he wouldn't give up not now, not just yet.
"Come on lad, get up" Piedmon said in a mocking tone. He continued to kick and step on Lobomon.
Roar!
Piedmon was tackle to the ground with Garurumon on top of him. The beast digimon started to attack him with his claws. This bought Lobomon some time to regain his posture.
Garurumon had Piedmon pin down to the ground which each of his paws on the clown's shoulder. He didn't hesitate to attack him. "HOWLING BLASTER" As the blue flames left his mouth he was pushed back by the force of the attack.
The blue flames engulf Piedmon's face leaving burns around his mask.
This had bough Koji sometime to gather his forces. He gently shook his head to get a clearer vision of his surroundings. As his vision cleared he saw Garururmon punching and scratching Piedmon, he had to give Garrurumon credit. 'Koji…' a little voice in his head said, but he couldn't pay attention there was a battle to finish.
Matt ran behind his brother, he didn't like this, no not one bit, but he had to get his brother to safety. He wouldn't let him get hurt, no not if he could stop it.
Garurumon had taken them somewhere far from where Piedmon was. He had told them to run and find the others that he was sure they had to be nearby. Matt had hesitated he knew Garurumon would be stronger if he was by his side, but he knew his job was to find the others.
"Where do you think they can be?" T.K asked his brother. The young blonde had stopped and was panting trying to catch his breath. He was still holding on to Palmon.
"They could be anywhere in the digital world and we have to find them …. Fast!" The older brother responded.
Boom!
Boom!
They both turned their heads towards the explosion; they could see the smoke coming from the far, as they both looked at each other Matt signaled his brother to keep running. And the battle continued.
Koichi was beyond desperate at this point. He could tell Koji was in a battle and that he was not doing well. Somehow a little pain had started to flow through his body, he instantaneously figured that it had to be some weird twin sense telepathy thing, and whatever he was feeling Koji was feeling it twenty times more.
"Everything all right Koichi?" Beetlemon asked him.
They had all decided it would be better not to mention faster to travel through air. So Kabuterimon took Izzy and Willis along with the twin digimon who were still a little dizzy after their battle. Ken and Davis were with their own partners. J.P offered Koichi a lift since his human spirit form was able to fly.
"I would be lying if I say yes" Koichi answered as he looked all around.
"I would be lying if I say you shouldn't worry" J.P admitted.
"I know"
Boom!
Boom!
The echo of a battle spread through the air.
"Well guys I think we have to follow that sound!" Davis shouted from in front of them. The young gogglehead had taken the lead, of course no one could deny; after all he was the best candidate.
"He reminds me too much of Takuya" J.P said a smile forming in his hidden face.
"A little too much" Koichi managed to chuckle a laugh.
Koichi stop his laugh as he winced in pain. A pain surged through hi s abdomen and he clutched his side with both of his arms. He tried not to make any noise to worry anyone. Fail.
"You know I can tell you're in pain right?" J.P said in an 'I know you're in pain don't try to hide it' tone.
"It's Koji"
"I know"
Bloodied, Bruised, Beaten
At this point it was a losing game for Koji and Garururmon. Piedmon clearly had the upper hand and he was tired of playing.
"Shall we finish this now, I am growing tired of it" He took a step closer and grabbed them both by the neck and threw them out of the woods with a blast.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
And out the woods they both went with a blanket of smoke and dirt.
At this point Koji had returned to his human form along with a Gabumon next to him. He couldn't clearly see but he heard voices.
"TAI!" he heard a female voice's scream.
"KARI GO! NOW! What are you waiting for help him get out of here GO!" he heard another voice. This one was definitely a guy's voice.
"But Tai-" she tried to finish but was cut off.
"NOW KARI!" he yelled.
He could hear footsteps approaching him and Gabumon.
"Gabumon!" he heard the boy's called.
"Ta-Tai?" Gabumon questioned as he slowly tried to get up.
Koji grunted as he slowly tried to get up as well. He clutched his abdomen which was hurting like hell.
"Here let me help you" the boy quickly threw Koji's arm around his shoulder and helped him up. Koji hesitated
"I'm perfectly fine" Koji pointed out, more over he was being his usual sarcastic self.
"Yeah yeah yeah a blind person can even see that you've been through hell and back" Tai retorted.
Koji just grunted as the pain hit him hard again. Gabumon was now able to stand up in front of the two boys as he turned to see someone he was dreading to.
"Well what do you know? My goodness Tai you've really grown up haven't you?" Piedmon said as he cleaned some of the blood in one of his swords. He took a quick glance at Koji who was been helped by Tai and at Gabumon who could pass out any second. "I mean I knew I was good. I really left you all bloody didn't I?"
Tai was frozen in place. There were many questions going around his head. He surely didn't see Piedmon coming again. Now he was furious, beyond that if you would say. Surviving in the digital world this time was going to be harder than he ever imagined.
"What is it my boy? Bit surprises aren't you? Come on courageous leader are you just going to stand there or fight, either way never doubt that this sword will go directly through your heart" Piedmon said making straight eye contact with a cold face Tai.
"Over my dead body" a voice said behind Tai and Koji.
Both boys turned around to see the little orange dinosaur. Fire was forming in his mouth as his attack headed his opponent. Piedmon just moved his head to a side letting the ball of fire pass through him.
"Seriously? Is that all you got?" Piedmon mocked him.
"Agumon! Take care of him" Tai order as he took out his digivice which was glowing with and orange light.
"You got it Tai"
And with that the little orange dinosaur changed to his Champion form "Greymon!"
As Greymon and Piedmon started to duel, Tai started to drag the half-conscious Koji and a beaten up Gabumon somewhere safe. Tai looked around his area looking for his sister and the other unconscious boy, 'Just my luck' he thought.
"TAI! Over there" a Nefertimon pointed towards the opposite direction of the lake. She headed straight to aid Greymon.
He didn't hesitate and did as he was told. He was managing to drag both the beaten boy and digimon when something hit him 'Where in the living hell is Matt?' he asked himself, surely the blonde boy wouldn't leave his partner. His thoughts were disrupted.
"GET DOWN!" the raven-haired by yelled. He managed to push all of them to the ground just as Nefertimon was thrown to their direction barely missing them. A loud 'Thud' was heard as she hit the ground.
"We have to leave now while Greymon distracts him!" Tai yelled.
"And you think your little orange dinosaur can beat him?" the raven haired boy asked sarcastically.
"TAI!"" a cry came. Both boys turned around to spot Kari standing with the brunette who was barely awake.
"Kari get out of here and take him with you" the elderly brother yelled. He was worried about the boy he just met, not to mention he was now worried about the half awake half asleep boy and to top it off his sister wouldn't listen to him. Being the oldest sure was stressful.
"Takuya!" the boy next to him yelled. The boy quickly sprinted towards the direction of the young girl and the semi-conscious boy.
Tai stood still for a moment 'What do you know, he knows sleepy head' quickly he followed the raven haired boy.
"Come on Kanbara, this is no time for sleeping!" the boy yelled at the brunette who was slowly opening his eyes.
"Don't yell at him, take it easy will you he has a fever" Kari told the unknown boy in front of her. She was being rather defensive.
"Yeah well it would surprise me if he didn't" he responded. Kari just looked at him confused. Quickly but gently he managed to get the brunette's arm around his shoulder half dragging him to the lake.
"What are you doing?" Tai asked surprise of the young man's actions.
"The only way to wake this goggle head up" quickly he managed to get the boy towards the lake. "Well Takuya you're gonna hate me because of this" and he let go of the boy pushing him in to the lake.
"Wait!" Both Kamiyas' yelled.
"3,2,1" he counted backwards.
"KOJI MINAMOTO!" the brunette boy jumped out of the water, dripping, soaked and furious. Steam came out of his ears as anger was on his face. "THIRD TIME, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME, IF YOU THINK THA…."
"Yeah yeah yeah after you're done with your tantrum, feel free to help me with this clown" he said, his glanced landed upon Piedmon who was destroying both Nefertimon and Greymon. "They won't last longer"
The young brunette took a look at his friend, surely enough he could tell he had taken a beaten. He was dirty, wounded and you could see a little blood coming out from his abdomen. Both boys share a look they had shared many times. "Ready?" he asked.
"As I'll ever be"
"EXECUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION" streams of data covered both of their bodies. When they came of in their place stood two warriors Tai recognized.
"Get out of here" The red warrior told the two teens that were shocked and confused.
"You can't be serious right?" Tai responded. Dumbfounded and confuse.
The warrior ignored it and moved his way through the fight that was just less than a mile away from him.
"
Getting closer now, you guys better hold on tight" Kabuterimon said. J.P had agreed to take a ride with Kabuterimon now, the young man had to save his energy because he was soon going to be needed. His concern was on his friend who not surprisingly looked tired.
"Over there" Ken yelled. He pointed towards the blanket of smoke and dirt. "We're here!"
"Now this is going to be a show" Davis said firmly.
The two blonde ones came into view of what was of the battle. Matt tried to locate his partner but it was impossible to keep up with the battle from where he was standing. His glanced fell upon two figures.
"Its Kari and Tai" he pointed.
T.K looked at the direction his brother was pointing; indeed there was Kari and Tai who had Gabumon in his arms. Both blondes sprinted towards the two siblings trying to catch their attention. Both of them had to be careful not to draw Piedmon's attention but he was busy with Greymon, Nefertimon, Lobomon and "Agunimon?" he said.
In matter of seconds they were reunited with their friends.
"Matt! T.K!" What happened, where's Patamon? What's going on""Kari asked. Her concern was very visible just watching at the two blondes in their conditions.
"Long story, what's going on here?" T.K said panting, trying to catch his breath he was still carrying Palmon .The blonde took a look at the battle in front of him. Surely things weren't looking good for their team.
A buzzing sound could be heard. The four of the digidestined looked towards the sky spotting a big insect they knew all too well.
"It's Izzy and Kabuterimon" Tai said. Smiling the sight of help restored some confidence in him.
"Davis and Ken too" Kari said all too happy seeing her friends.
"Gabumon? Come on buddy" The blonde one tried to wake his partner.
A moan was all that came out of Gabumon. Surely the he had lost to much energy and was lucky he still was breathing.
Matt pulled on of Tai's arms he need to talk to him even though now wasn't the time it couldn't wait. Kari and T.K were distracted trying to wake up Palmon "Please tell me that you have tried ultimate evolution?" Matt asked in hopes of hearing an answer.
"We can't without the crests" He responded "Although he has my crest" Tai pointed towards the red warrior.
"Why does he have it?" Mat asked curiously.
"If I knew I would tell you, I'm not sure what's going on anymore"
At this point things weren't looking so good for Agunimon and Lobomon. Just one more hit from Piedmon and they were finished. Greymon and Nefertimon were pretty much almost unconscious.
"Is this the end for all of you? I think so! Well it was nice seeing all of you" Piedmon mocked them.
"HEY FREAK SHOW!"
Piedmon slowly turned around to see a blue armored warrior along with a black armored warrior standing side by side.
"You alright Lobomon?" the warrior of darkness asked. He deeply made eye contact with Piedmon.
"Just peachy" he said sarcastically. Lobomon managed to get up shaking a little. He was bruised, bloodied and beaten. Agunimon followed right behind me he wasn't looking well either. Barely standing the two stood behind Piedmon who was making eye contact with the other warriors.
Wooooshhhh!
A wind was heard as Stingmon took all the key chains from Piedmon's left side. "I'll take that" he said as he passed.
Piedmon let out a grunt; slowly he had a smirked in his face. "Funny huh? I think you missed one" he said carefully he took a key chain from his pocket. The key chain resembled Zoe. At this point he was surrounded by all the Digimons and Warriors. Piedmon carefully pull out a dagger. Everyone took a step closer to him. "Now I wouldn't get too close if I were you, accidents can happen you know?" slowly he took the dagger and brought it closer to the key chain.
"Don't you dare!" Lowemon said. Glaring into the enemy's eyes standing still.
"Then follow direction" he responded. "You know I can drive this dagger through her heart and she'll die instantly! She won't even feel a thing…. What do you think will happen to her spirit?"
"Please don't!" Agunimon pleaded.
"Oh please or what? I can kill you all easily! I just like to have my fun" Piedmon taunted. He let the dagger dance around his finger along with the key chain. Everyone stood still they couldn't move or else the sick clown will kill the girl.
"Stop being a coward! Put her down!" Lobomon yelled.
"Don't even…" Beetlemon started but was interrupted.
"Coward? Don't even what? Sure you guys got the numbers, but numbers don't win a battle" he said smirking.
A rustle in the trees got every ones attention. Out of the rustle came out a woman dressed in red.
"Arukenimon, my dear care to join the party?" Piedmon asked.
Things were not looking good for anybody now.
"Let's go that's enough clowning for today. We have other business to take care off" she said seriously slowly disappearing in the shadows.
Piedmon let out a sigh. "Oh well it was fun while it lasted, this was just a pre-show of what's about to come, you have seen nothing. Farewell my children I'll see you soon". Holding Zoe's key chain in his fist he threw it with all his force to the middle of the lake. With that distraction that had everyone's eyes, he escaped.
I am so terribly deeply sorry. I know I haven't updated in months. I really am sorry, I know I kept you all waiting and what not but I literally haven't had a chance to update. I always start writing a little each day but never get to finish. Well I finished this chapter. With school and all I don't think I'll be able to write until summer. I'll try but highly doubt I'll post anything until then. Anyways again terribly sorry. It's so late I even forgot where I left off to be honest I had to re-read my story again. If this chapter doesn't make sense let me know because yeah . I know Joe, Cody, and Tommy are still missing don't worry you'll hear from them soon. I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of grammar errors and its one of my shortest chapters.
Anyways, Piedmon left of course he can't finish the gang this soon, there's plenty on the way, so be patient with me guys .
As for the couples uhmmm I keep changing my mind so let's see how this works out huh.
I don't know when my next update will be but until then, keep reading and I appreciated all the comments. Thanks for your support 3
