CHAPTER 11
POSSESED
Horrified, the Digidestined looked at Veemon. His dark brown eyes, his grey skin and his black cloak all scarred them very much.
"I am alive." the robed Veemon said in a voice that wasn't his own.
"Hey, what's going on?" Magnadramon asked around.
"You're new." said the robed Digimon. "I guess I'll introduce myself. I am the Dark Being and this body is now mine."
"Veemon!" Nefertimon shouted. "Veemon! Please snap put of it!"
"Sorry but that's not going to happen." the Dark Being said. "His soul's gone and now that I have this body, I can go back to fixing my mistake. Unfortunately, I see you all as a threat to that."
"No. No, this can't be happening!" Davis cried out. He pulled out his Digivice and saw that the outline of Veemon's body had been completely covered in a black cloud. "Veemon!" Davis called again and the Dark Being looked right at him.
"Veemon!"
In a split second, the Dark Being ran right up to Davis and gave him a powerful punch to his stomach. For a fraction of a second, Davis was suspended in midair with a shocked expression on his face. Then, he flew backwards several feet before he hit the ground and clutched his stomach.
"Davis!" Kari screamed but at that moment, Dark Being extended his arm towards her. He raised his hand and Kari rose into the air. He then swung his arm and Kari was sent flying in the same direction Davis did and she hit the ground painfully. Then, he fired a sphere of black energy at TK and whipped Yolei, Cody and Ken with four black tentacles.
Upon seeing the downed humans, the Dark Being turned his attention to the still shocked Digimon.
"Veemon! We don't want to hurt you!" Stingmon said to him.
"Fine. That'll just make everything easier for me." He unsheathed the Legacy Blade and held it high. It was then covered in black energy and it reappeared, it now looked like a long black sword with a rectangular, blood-red guard near the handle. (If you have a have a hard time picturing this, imagine King Bradley's sword from Full Metal Alchemist but a black blade and a red handle guard)
With lightning fast speed, the Dark Being dashed and slashed each of the Digimon once. When he was done, he stood a little far away from them with his back turned on them. One by one, they reverted back to their original forms.
"Veemon!"
The Dark Being turned around and saw Gatomon running towards him. She put her paws on his shoulders. "Veemon it's me! Please stop this!"
"I told you he's not here!" the Dark Being pushed her and she hit the ground. To everyone's horror, he lifted his sword and swung it down on Gatomon who was so shocked she didn't even try to dodge it.
The blade however stopped half an inch from Gatomon's head. They all look at the Dark Being and saw that his left hand stopped his right. He then clutched his head as if he were in pain. For a split second, his skin had turned back to blue.
"Veemon!" they all cried and his mouth moved to form words.
"Everyone run…I'm dangerous…"
"No!"
(For the time being, anything said by the Dark Being will be bold like this while everything said by Veemon will be italicized like this)
The Dark Being yelled as he regained control. "I thought he was gone for good!" He looks up and sees Gatomon getting away from him. He raised the Legacy Blade but at that moment, it was shot out of his hands. Wormmon had used an attack and stuck the Legacy Blade to the ground.
The Dark Being turned in Wormmon's direction. The latter found himself being hit by a sphere of energy. Then, as Ken yelled out his name, Wormmon was picked up by tentacle and thrashed around mercilessly. When he was finally tossed aside, Wormmon was hurt and covered in bruises.
The Dark Being dashed towards Gatomon but he stopped right in front of her. He clutched his head again as if he were in pain.
"YOU LEAVE HER ALONE!"
"YOU SHUT UP!"
Regaining control, he uppercut Gatomon high into the air. He jumped to her level and rapidly punched her in midair and elbowed her to the ground.
"Veemon!" the Dark Being turned and saw Hawkmon. "I'm sorry but, Feather Strike!"
He threw his feather at the Dark Being. The latter caught the feather with his bare hands. He then ran up to Hawkmon and grabbed his head. He struggled but the Dark Being lifted him off the ground and slammed his head onto the ground. After that, he stomped on it for good measure.
The Dark Being scanned the area looking for a new target. His eyes found Salamon and he was about to hit her with a blast of energy when-
"No! Don't hurt her!" Patamon screamed.
Completely ignoring Salamon, the Dark Being rushed towards Patamon and pinned him to the wall. He gave a blood curdling roar before he enveloped both of his fists in black energy and started rapidly hitting Patamon. This went on for a whole minute before a battered Patamon hit the ground.
"Pata-"
But Salamon couldn't finish. The Dark Being grabbed her leg, picked her up and slammed her on the ground. After that, he shot black electricity at her and raised her into the air. As he electrocuted her, she screamed like she did during Craniamon's experiment. After she hit the ground, the Dark Being tried the attack on Armadillomon. He screamed just as loud as Salamon did.
He smiled at the weakened Digimon and decided that now is the time to kill them. But at that moment, he gasped and clutched his head in pain. This time, he got down on both knees as he groaned in pain.
"Veemon!" yelled a recovering Davis. "Fight it!"
"Don't let him win!"
"You can beat him!"
Everyone recovered from their beating and was now yelling at Veemon to regain control. Because of this, the Dark Being struggled more.
"Veemon!" yelled Gatomon. "I love you! Please come back to us!"
Her words did the trick. The Dark Being gave a roar of pain and his skin had turned blue. Everyone smiled; Veemon looked up for several seconds until-
"NO!"
There was a flash and the Dark Being regained control. Angry, he said: "That's it! I'm ending this now before he interferes again!"
Using his telekinesis, he picked everyone in the room up and brought them hovering over the center of the room. They struggled but it was in vain. Smiling, the Dark Being walked over to the Legacy Blade and unstuck it from the ground. As he walked towards the Digidestined, it started glowing.
"Yes!" the Dark Being with evil in his eyes. "Behold, the power that destroyed me will destroy you!" He raised the sword into the air and pointed it at the ceiling.
"LEGACY BLADE, HEAR MY WILL: I WANT TO DESTROY THE HUMAN WORLD!"
He spun the sword into the air and planted it in the ground. Now, both of his arms glowed with black energy as if they were charging an attack. The Dark Being took one last look at the Digidestined before yelling at the top of his lungs:
"LEGACY FLASH!"
He thrusts his arms forward. A beam of black energy shot out of both of his hands. They went around the Legacy Blade and merged to form a much larger blast of energy. The Digidestined struggled as it got closer and closer to them.
The blast suddenly came to a stop right in front of them. It just stayed there hovering over the ground. Looking around it, they saw something shocking.
The Dark Being had his teeth bared in pain. He would give an occasional grunt as his skin rapidly changed from grey to blue and back.
"What are you doing!?"
"Making sure you don't hurt anyone I care for!"
With a loud cry, he thrust his arms backwards. The Legacy Flash did a 180 degree turn and headed towards the one who fired it in the first place.
Veemon could hear the sound of the attack rushing towards him. He heard his friend telling him to stop this but their pleas were muffled by the sound of the attack. Besides that, the only other thing he could hear was the Dark Being's voice.
"YOU FOOL! YOU'LL BE DESTROYED AS WELL!"
"…I know…"
They both closed their eyes and waited.
