Chapter 21

MeggidoGallantmon's visions

MeggidoGallantmon's p.o.v

Vision 1

The scenery was really beautiful and mum was baking bread as usual. Mom's bread is so delicious that little bro is always secretly swipe them away. One day, I caught him eating some under his bed.

"Hey, squirt! At least give me some of those bread."

"No! You will tell mama I took them."

"I won't, I swear. Please at least one?"

"Okok. Here you go, brother."

"Thanks, Kato."

That's when I heard mum coming up to Kato's room.

"Ryu, have you seen Takato? I think he's stealing bread again."

"Haven't seen him, mom. I will look for him."

"Make sure you do."

Takato came out of his bed sighing in relief. He was just five years old while I was sixteen. I will protect him till I die for our parents.

Vision 2

"Ryusei of Hikarigaoka Wolves takes the ball and he SCORES!!! The Wolves wins the championship!!!"

I jumped about like crazy and celebrate with my teammates. Takato raced to me on the pitch and we exchanged hi-fives.

"Big bro, can I hold up the trophy?"

"Sure, if it is okay with my teammates."

My teammates said it was okay. Takato lifted the trophy for the whole crowd to see. I was glad to have a brother like him and I thought I could not get any better when Latooni called around seven and asked if I'm free and we could watch a movie. I leaped for joy and got ready. Takato kept teasing me.

"Ryusei and Latooni sitting on a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!"

"Get back here, brat! Wait till I get my hands on you."

Turns out he was too fast and I gave up. I had a fun night with Latooni and she treated me to some ice-cream. Oooh, ice-cream! I just love ice-cream! Seeing my eager face, she bribed me.

"I'll give you ice-cream if you buy me a teddy bear."

"What?!!!"

"Do you want the delicious, lip-smacking ice-cream. Ryu-chan?"

I went to buy an expensive teddy bear and she gave me five ice-creams. I was thrilled to get them.

"I'm so fortunate to have a girlfriend like you."

"Oh, stop that. You're making me blush."

Vision 3

I saw Latooni being carried by some thugs. I chased after them and ended up in a dark alley. I saw the thugs playfully touching her body. It made me sick. I raced towards them. I knocked out several thugs and managed to rescue Latooni but the gang surrounded me. I kicked me and punched me. I was no match for them. The gang leader took out his pistol and fired at me. I was preparing for the end when I saw Latooni in front of me. She took the shot to save me but the cost would be her life. The gang leader realized what he had done and he and his gang fled, leaving me and my dying girlfriend.

"Why did you protect me, Latooni?"

"Because I love you, Ryusei. You were involved in this because of me."

"No…I was the one who was thinking to be a hero and save you."

"You are a hero, Ryusei. To me. Please… live on for me. Do not seek revenge, Ryu. I'll always watch over you. I love you, Ryusei Kinomoto."

"I love you too...Latooni"

Latooni died on my lap. I cried in pain. My mind was set on revenge even though Latooni told me not to.

"I'm sorry, Latooni."

Vision 4

I woke up in a big fortress. The only thing I remembered was finding the gang who killed Latooni. I walked around the corridors when I entered a room which I think is the throne room.

"Welcome, Ryusei Kinomoto."

"Who are you?"

" I am Apocalymon. Owner of this fortress. Is it to your liking?"

"Well, not really. Its kind of spooky. What did you bring me here?"

"I can give you power to avenge your lover's death."

"What kind of power?"

"Power of a powerful digimon which can fulfil your quest for revenge."

"What is it called?"

"Megidramon. Recently, I obtained a fragment of its data and finding somebody strong-willed enough to use its power and revive it."

"And you think I'm the suitable one."

"Of course. Are you interested?"

I accepted because I really wanted the gang to pay for what they did. Apocalymon brought me to his lab and the data fragment was inserted inside me.

Vision 5

I, aka Megidramon, continued my destruction over Hikarigaoka even after killing the gang who was responsible for Latooni's death. I began to like destroying stuff. I killed hundreds of soldiers who tried to bring me down. After killing thousands of people, I noticed a family of three and froze. It was Takato, mum and dad. Two hi-speed army vehicles came to pick them up. I was enraged and destroyed the vehicle which my parents were in. I heard Takato's yell.

"Mom!!! Dad!!!!"

I hesitated again. Apocalymon was very amused by the whole scene. I was furious with him and then I felt something trying to take over my brain.

"It's Megidramon's mind. Don't try to fight it , Ryusei. You will no longer Ryusei Kinomoto but my servant, Megidramon the Hazard Dragon.

I wanted to resist but it was no use.

I'm sorry, takato. I am so ashamed to be your brother.

And that's when Megidramon took over.

End of Visions

MeggidoGallantmon looked at Alice who was thinking about his visions.

"How long have you had this visions?"

"When you guys attacked the fortress."

"Well, from what I can say from your visions, you're Ryusei Kinomoto. Elder brother to Takato. I had read some records before and had came upon some information about a Megidramon attacking Hikarigaoka 25 years ago. You can't be that Megidramon."

"Maybe not, Alice but my visions prove otherwise."

"If that's true, you should be 41 years old now and Takato should be 30 years old."

"Why is it so surprising?"

"Takato is only fourteen."

"Hmm… that is strange."

"The Sovereigns did not manage to sense any presence of a Megidramon after all these years."

"I have no answer to that. I think only Apocalymon knows."

"This turn out to be a great big mystery."

"Alice, can you let me see Azulongmon?"

"Why?"

"I need some answers from him."

"I don't know…."

That's when they heard a scream somewhere nearby. Alice recognized it to be Rika's. Then she felt her left hand hurt. She saw another hazard sign and her right hand's hazard power seem to be getting weaker.

"What's going on?" Takato, is this your doing?

15 minutes ago

To Izzy, Suzie and Henry

The trio managed to reach the Primary Village safely and they quickly ran to Takato's resting spot. They found Gigimon beside him. Henry quickly opened the bottle and poured the liquid into Takato's mouth. The blackness on Takato's body was fading away and the trio cheered in triumph. Takato's hazard sign began to glow. Takato opened his eyes and looked at his three friends.

"Hi, guys."

"You're back,Takato."

"I am finally back. Thanks for all your efforts and because of this virus, DiabloGallantmon is no more. I could not feel his power anymore. Oh, how is Alice?"

"She unlocked the hazard power and became a knight."

"Oh. I would not want her to lose her power. I will let her have 25 percent of the Hazard power then. HAZARD TRANSFER!"

Izzy noticed a hazard sign appearing on Takato's right hand. When the process was complete, Takato sighed.

"Unfortunately, I can only become MedievalGallantmon if I have my full Hazard. Anyway, what has been going on?"

"Well…"

"I see you have awaken Takato."

Azulongmon appeared from the sky.

"I have been patrolling the Southern Quadrant. Kazu is battling ChaosWarGreymon at Apocalymon's fortress. Rika and Takeru are fighting a losing battle against some Meramons and BlueMeramons. Alice is well on her way to assist Rika and Takeru. Tai, Sora, Yolei and Kari are at the Dai Village. Davis has been de-petrified. The others have been captured by Piedmon. The Dark Masters are back and there is an evil knight of the Hazard but he is on our side now."

"I see. I should help Kazu then."

"If you are going to help Kazu, take the crestrock. It will help you."

Taking the crestrock from Azulongmon, Takato left with Gigimon.

"Henry, Suzie and Izzy. Follow me to the Dai Village. We are planning how to counterattack. We will await our comrades return there."

"Right!"

While Takato was running to the castle, he saw a knight rushing off somewhere. Then he had a great headache.

Takato's vision

Takato's p.o.v

I hid under the bed till mom was gone. I crawled out of my bed.

"Thanks big bro. You really save me from mom's long lectures."

"Don't mention it, Takato. My school soccer team will be playing in the final at the Hikarigaoka local stadium. Can I count on you for your support there?"

"Of course big bro. You are Ryusei Kinomoto, star player of the Hikarigaoka elementary soccer team. As your little bro, I'll support you and maybe a star player myself someday."

"I know you will."

End of vision

"Big bro? Hikarigaoka?Ryusei Kinomoto?Kinomoto? What was that vision trying to tell me?"
