Chapter 25
Sora POV
I cover egg with my body so that it won't get damage or fall off Hououmon when we break through the window. I shut my eyes as we about to go through the glass window, then I hear it shattering, I fell my body is turning upside down. I open my eyes to see Hououmon did a spin while she crashes through the window so the glass would hit her chest instead of me. Hououmon quickly right herself around and we start to fly upwards.
Lilithmon comes crashing through the window right behind us, she screams "Empress Emblaze!" as she starts to circle her hands. I see five, no twenty, no forty, I lose count there too many pentagrams on the walls of the castle and moat. Black portals start to open in front of each of the pentagrams, from the portal the colossal grey rotting hands are coming out of them again. There so many of them I don't know if we can find a pathway up the moat without getting hit. I hear Lilithmon screaming now "YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY FROM ME!" I look down at Lilithmon and she is panting hard but is still flying after us. I guessing that summon these many hands has left her wipe. As she starts to come towards us she shouts "Nazar Nail!" Her golden claw comes together to form a sharp point.
I gulp and shout at Hououmon "Step on it Hououmon, it looks like Lilithmon is still after us!" she just nods her head. She is trying her best to fly in between each of the grey hands Lilithmon summon, as soon as we come in range one of the grey hands start to swing at her, she has to move into range of another grey hands tp dodge it. We are making process upwards but it slower than we both want to, Lilithmon is about to reach us any second now. I shout "Hououmon, Lilithmon is right below us! Do something!"
Hououmon stops flapping her wing and bring back all of her wings and shouts "Starlight Explosion!" eight blinding ball of energy form in her wings she then turns around to face Lilithmon below us. She lets the attack go down towards Lilithmon, then continues to make her way up the moat. I look back and see that did slow Lilithmon down for a second or two while she takes the time to dodge each of the attacks. After dodging each of the attacks she then starts to come towards us again.
As we are flying up the moat, Hououmon and I both see some sort of projectile being fire out of the castle. As we approach the spot where the shoot came out we start to see a hole is now on the side of the castle. Great another Digimon is going to come out and attacking us.
Matt POV
I look behind us and see that Beelzebumon is now through the ice clouds and coming straight at us. I shout to MetalGarurumon "Do have any more Giga Missile? We need to block the tunnel the best we can so Beelzebumon can't catch up to us." After I done shouting that I see Beelzebumon will catch us in no time if we don't. He starts to raise he shotgun to fire at us.
MetalGarurumon doesn't even give me answer before he shouts, "Giga Missile!" I then hear his chest opening and see he drop it right behind us. "That the last one, Matt. I only have one Freeze Bomber left I use everything else for cover for our escape." Well that great I hope collapsing the tunnel, will give us enough time to tell everyone up top to escape. I look forward and see these colossal grey rotting hands are covering the moat now. Great what the help is happening now, well it a no brain I would rather deal with rotting hands than Beelzebumon and that bomb that about to go off.
As soon as we get outside the hole, one of the grey hands start to swing at us and we have to move quickly. The grey hand is now covering the hole when the blast goes off, I see the hole collapsing in on itself. Great now that part of the plan work, hope it delays Beelzebumon long enough.
I look down and see Lilithmon casing this giant forth winged golden bird. This is just great no we have another demon lord and who ever this bird digimon is to deal with. The bird digimon spins and I see it back, Sora is riding on the back of this digimon… Is that Biyomon? I shout over to Sora "SORA, WE NEED TO GET OUT HERE NOW!"
Sora POV
I just seen MetalGarurumon flying out of the hole with Matt on his back. He gets attack by one of the grey hands then the hole he comes out of explosives, and the first thing he says is we need to get out of here now. I shout back at Matt "NO SHIT MATT, THANKS FOR THE UPDATE!" I better warn him about the Grey hands "THESE COLOSSAL GREY HANDS REACT TO MOVEMENT, WHEN YOU ENTER ONE OF THEIR AREA THEY WILL TRY AND HIT YOU!" I shout at the top of my lungs at Matt and MetalGarurumon. They both nod at me and all of us try and head up and out of the moat.
It looks like MetalGarurumon is doing better at dodging the Grey hands then Hououmon due to his smaller size. We both flying pretty close together now, MetalGarurumon is taking the lead and drawing the hand away from us so we can fly past it, then we draw the next one attention so MetalGarurmon can catch up. I hear Lilithmon right below us "This is where you die!" I look behind us and Lilithmon is ten meters below us now and closing in fast.
"Freezer Bomber!" I hear MetalGarurumon shouting above us he drops the bomb right on top of us, I guess Matt is using us to get away, Ass I knew he couldn't be trusted. Hououmon see the bomb coming and dodges out of the way at the last second and the bomb flies right past us and right into Lilithmon face.
We all her scream "FUCK!" Before the bomb hit her. We see that she covers mostly in this thick layer of ice now and is not able to move. She starts to fall down into the pit and that when we hear the ice breaking. Then she smashes her way out of the ice and shouts "IF I EVER CATCH YOU BOY, BE PREPARED FOR A WORLD OF HURT LIKE YOU NEVER IMAGINE! THERE WILL BE NO PLEASURE! YOU TURN ME INTO AN ICICLE!" Wait did Matt plan that out to hit her…
Hououmon shouts up to MetalGarurumon "Thanks for getting her off our backs guys!" I guess Hououmon also thinks so… I look up we are almost to the top of the moat now. That when we all hear a blast farther down the moat it looks about where Matt came out of the castle. I look down and see a giant red beam being fire out of the castle.
"No problem, but we to hurry we can't fight Beelzebumon like he is now! We are too tired to fight his new mode! We need to gather the other and head home now!" Matt shouts back to us. I guess he really did do that to help us. I look back at the hole what does he mean by Beelzebumon new form. That when I see what Matt talking about. Beelzebumon or what looks like him is now flying out of the newly created hole with four new wings and it look he has some sort of blaster attach to his right arm now.
"Wolf boy I will kill you!" He shouts up at us, even though he shouting he sounds really calm. He then holds up his blaster and aims it towards Matt and shouts "Death Slinger!" I see this dark purple light going in at the end of the blaster and it opens up to start forming a red ball inside of it. It fires off and a red beam start heading towards Matt.
"Matt Watch out!" I shout at him and he was able to move out of the way but the beam hits two of the colossal grey hands instead it cuts though both of them creating a hole for us to use get pass two the hands.
Lilithmon shouts over to Beelzebumon "Forget about the damn boy Beelzebumon! The girl on the giant turkey has THE EGG!" I look back at Lilithmon while we fly past the second grey hand that just been blasted by Beelzebumon.
Beelzebumon shouts at Lilithmon "YOU GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!" he then stops aiming at Matt and is point towards Hououmon and me. I see the Dark Purple light starting to go in to his blaster again. I turn around to shout at Hououmon to dodge but then we fly over the top of the moat and are back on solid ground. I hear Beelzebumon shout "Death Slinger!" As we are completely over land now, I look back and see the red beam from before hitting where we were just at. I then hear a very loud scream coming from Beelzebumon "FUCK!" was all I was able to make out.
MetalGarurumon is now also over the top of the Moat now, and we see what the other kids were fight this entire time. There standing way off to the left of us is this giant red crocodile, he has these black scales with these light blue fins on his back. He has two tails in which the light blue fins continue down until they reach the end where they turn into this white feather. His mouth is super long as well, plus he got these duck like web thing on his knees. I see who left fighting him I see Imperialdramon, Angewomon and Lillymon? I guess Izzy and Mimi left the castle early to help with this fight… I hope everyone else is okay. I raise the egg above my head being super careful not to drop and shout "I GOT AGUMON EGG! LETS HEAD HOME!" As soon as I shout that the big red crocodile digimon turns towards me.
"I dooon't think sooo Mooorsssel." As he is talking in this deep slow whispering voice it sends a shiver down my spine. He opens his mouth towards me and says "Rostrum!" as he done saying that, his mouth opens a torrent of water comes flying straight towards us and Hououmon has to drive quickly in order to miss the attack.
The drive threw me off balance but I didn't let go of the Egg or fall off this time. I shout to Hououmon "IF the big guy over there hears me then, the other will have too! Let head towards the portal while we still can! We can't let them get back Agumon Egg after everything we went through!" Hououmon starts to fly towards the portal at break neck speeds. I don't pay attention to what happening around us. We make it to the Portal in no time at all and I pull out my Digivice and shout "DigiPort Open!" A dark purple light covers us as we sent home.
TK POV
I still looking at these giant grey hands that appear on the wall, some of the other went back to watching the fight. I can't t believe Kari would chose now to blow up with the trust issues she has with everyone. I can't say I wasn't thing the same thing when I first hear Lilithmon saying that… but I have to believe in our friends that they wouldn't do something like that. I take my eye off the giant hands for a second to look at Tokomon, god this battle is going really bad. We need to leave now, I can't put this off any longer in hopes that another fight with group won't break out. I look up and see this giant golden bird with four wings appear out of the moat. She has two holy rings around her feet… so this bird can't be a demon lord, right? Then I see a red beam of energy coming out of the moat behind golden bird. I was right something was down there. I shout at the rest of the group while pointing at the golden bird now shouting, "Look over there something just came out of the moat!" Everyone turn to where I'm pointing.
We see MetalGarurumon coming out of the moat with Matt on his back, he looks really rough. Wait is that Sora on the golden birds back? I wouldn't have time to think about that as I see Sora holding Agumon Egg above her head shouting at the top of her lungs "I GOT AGUMON EGG! LETS HEAD HOME!" yes that means we have no other reason to stay here and fight this hopeless battle.
We all hear Leviamon speak in his creepy voice again "I dooon't think sooo Mooorsssel." We all turn our head and see he is opening his mouth for an attack aim for Sora. He says "Rostrum!" and stream of water is heading towards Sora and the golden bird. They able to dodge the attack. Leviamon looks like he was about to attack them again.
When we hear Imperialdramon shout "Imperial Crusher!" his right hand is flowing with black electricity as he changes forward and slash Leviamon in the mouth with his right claw. Then he kicks him in the mouth as his jaws is sent backwards.
Lillymon was spinning a circle over a top of Leviamon and shouts "Green Trap!" as the circle turns green pollen and flowers start to fall from the sky as she tries and paralyze Leviamon again. It not as effected as last time he must have built up resist to the attack as he still able to move but a lot slower now.
He says "Cauda!" as he tries and swings his tail at Imperialdramon this is the first time he misses with attack because of Lillymon attack slowing him down. Imperialdramon was able to get out of way of being hit by the tails by ducking under the tail swing. I look over to where Sora was and see she is already heading towards the portal.
"WE ARE GOING NOW!" I shout to the group, then I shout out to the digimon that are still fighting "COVER OUR RETREAT!" I turn around and start heading towards the portal and I look back to make sure everyone is heading towards the portal. Everyone is running now, I look back and see Kari is at the back of the group… I hope she makes it. I know she is being hard on the group and everything but I still care for and want her to see that she doesn't have anything to worry about with group.
I see Matt flying over to us and shouts at us "We need to go like right now! There are two more Demon lords on the way. Lilithmon and Beelzebumon but Beelzebumon got a major power up somehow! MetalGarurmon can only fly right now other than that he spent all of his energy fighting Beelzebumon new form!" I gulp when I hear that, great one of our enemy can get even strong then when he fought WarGreymon. I don't see how we can pull this off…
We hear Leviamon say "Cauda!" then we hear trees breaking and we see Imperialdramon fly past us breaking a ton of tree on the way by. Imperialdramon then grows and Leafmon and Chibomon the baby form of Wormmon and Veemon are laying on the ground, this is just great now our only real threat is gone we won't make it back at all…
Davis shouts out "Chibomon!" as he pulls energy out of nowhere and runs towards Chibomon at a break neck speed.
Ken is basically shouting at the same time of Davis "Leafmon, NO!" he also moving just as fast towards Leafmon. They both reach down and pick up their digimon and by the look of things them both close to crying right now.
Mimi speaks up "I hope Lillymon and Angewomon can make it back safely to us." As she was saying this I look down and realize maybe I was lucky to have Tokomon taken out of the fight early then.
I hear Lillymon shouting "Flower Cannon!" but I don't dare look back to see what happening. I then being pick up by something I see Angewomon has pick me up in her arm with Kari and is flying towards the portal now. We make it there in no time now, and Angewomon flies back to pick up the rest of the kids she can.
I then hear Beelzebumon shouting "WHERE ARE THEY LEVIAMON!" great he here and I look over from the portal to see his new form and sported four new black wings and he has some sort of blaster on his right arm it hard to see him from this distance. Lilithmon is also flying beside him.
Levaimon answer Beelzebumon and says "There in the foooressst tooo left ooof me… I say we take it cooompletely dooown. I never like it anywaysss." I hear Beelzebumon and Lilithmon laughing then I hear Leviamon say "Anima!" I see a black tornado ripping up the forest nearby from us.
Beelzebumon says "I haven't shot blind at my targets before in a long time." Beelzebumon pulls both his blaster and shotgun and shouts "Double Impact!" See both of them take in this Dark Purple light and then fire the blaster from what I could tell it was forming a red ball then it fired a beam of red energy into the forest. The shotgun blast hit the ground and I see trees flying now.
Lilithmon has pentagram in both her hand and shout "Phantom Pain!" A black gas is coming from her hands. After the gas has been release she shouts, "I flush them out with my Phantom Pain that is unless they want to rot to death!" she giggles but I notice that her attack is now where near us.
I look towards the rest of the group where they are meant to be coming from, I see Angewomon has Yolei and Mimi in her arms, I also see Matt has pick up Cody on MetalGarurumon back. They all come over to portal and drop everyone off but Matt stays on MetalGarurmon back. One of Beelzebumon shotgun blast comes close to us and we all have to duck to avoid the rocks and trees being sent our way. Angewomon goes back to pick up more people. Matt turn and looks at us then sighs before he speaks "Me and MetalGarurumon will give them something to shoot at while everyone is getting away." MetalGarurmon then takes off in the opposite direction from where everyone is coming from under the tree lines and then pulls up and shouts "OVER HERE BEELZEBUMON!"
I gulp, what is Matt doing! I look around to the rest of the group and everyone else is looking just as confused. We then hear Beelzebumon shout "I was looking for the girl with the Egg but I still want to kill that Mutt of yours for he did to me!" he then focusses all of his attack on MetalGarurumon and they start to head back down in the forest for cover. We hear Beelzebumon shout "Double Impact!" as both of his weapons are going off towards where he last saw Matt. He is flying at a break neck speed towards where he last saw Matt while still firing his guns at the area.
We see Lillymon moving slower than what Angemon was bring the kids before but fast then what we can run, she is holding Izzy with Motimon, she looks like she barely able to get off the ground. As she puts him down she glows white before de-digivolve into Tanemon the in-training form of Palmon and says, "I can't move anymore, that was the last thing I could do… Humans are way too heavy for me carry on a normal basis…" Mimi catch her before she hit the ground.
Mimi tells her "Don't worry you done more than enough Tanemon…" she then pulls her into a hug and Tanemon is having trouble breathing from Mimi hug. Angewomon then carrying Davis and Ken who also holding there digimon in their hands are the last to arrive. She puts then down and goes over to Kari and de-digivolve into Gatomon. Kari catches her and smiles.
Davis says, "What are we waiting for let's get out here before we become fried ducks!" I stop and look around to see if I can spot Matt, the best guess I can get is where Beelzebumon is firing his guns at.
I tell Davis "we were waiting for you guys and Matt to get back from distancing the enemy." Davis looks worry when I say Matt is back out in danger. I shout at the top of my lungs "EVERYONE IS HERE, SO COME BACK MATT!" I hope he hear me because I don't know how much longer we can wait for him. We all turn and hear the black tornado that Leviamon is making is approaching to our right. It is throwing trees everywhere and a few almost crush Izzy if hadn't move out of the way in time.
Matt flies out of the underbrush and shouts "Then what are we waiting for!" he holds his Digivice up and shouts "Digiport open!" and we all cover in a dark purple light as we pull home.
Beelzebumon POV
"Fuck, damn it, piece of shit, they manage to make it home! I didn't know we had a portal they could use so close by to our base! That doesn't matter I go to the human world and kill them there!" As I was about to open the portal to human world. I hear him.
"Stop do not go after them! That is an Order!" I hear Lucemon and sigh, fuck I know I have to listen to him but I want to kill that fucking wolf for what he did to me. I hate these stupid rules, we have to follow they make everything harder than what it need to be. I going to have to talk with Lucemon about these rules he made.
Sora POV
The purple light has fade and I see we are back in Tai apartment, I look around and I see Hououmon has de-digivolve all the way back to Yokomon. I pick her up with my left hand while I have Agumon Egg in my right. I ask her "So Yokomon how are you feeling after becoming Hououmon then? I can't believe we were able to go Mega, Yokomon! Wait until we tell the other!" I hope we can pull that off again I think we going to need that for the upcoming battles with the Demon Lord.
Yokomon yawns then speaks "Well I'm sure am tired after all that Sora, but it was such a cool feeling I won't ever forget it!" She is smiling at me and trying her best not to fall asleep on me, I look over at the clock and it says it 2:07 am. We were gone for a long time, I look over to Tai room but this can't wait until morning.
I place Yokomon down on the couch and ask her "Yokomon do you mind if I go see Tai alone now… I want to show him we were able to get Agumon Egg back… and tell him a few other things as well…" I sigh I hope Yokomon understand me. I am not trying to push her away or anything but I want to make Tai feel better as soon as I can.
Yokomon nods at me and says "Sure thing Sora, I know you have somethings you want to say to Tai… I going to sleep, can you wake me up if Agumon hatches please?" I look at her and I smile. After everything that happen I almost forgot that Biyomon has feeling for Agumon. I'll ask her later when the other won't be around. They should be back any second now.
"Of course Yokomon, You be the first person I will tell but you got to tell me everything later that be happening between you two…" As I trail off what I was saying I notice Yokomon has already gone to sleep. I guess your first time going Mega takes a lot out you.
I now holding Agumon egg in both hand and walk towards the door, I look down at Agumon Egg and I don't know if he can hear me or not but I say this to him anyways "Agumon, I hope me and you can pull Tai out of his depression… We just have to…" I sigh and open the door to Tai's room. As I enter the room it feels with like I'm walking through water and is heavy. I see Tai still in the same position where Kari and TK left him in… He hasn't even move over the hours we were gone.
I take a deep breath and speak to Tai now "Tai look what I was able to get back from the Beelzebumon and Lilithmon… It me the real Sora… not the fake one… I'm sorry for everything that happen but I thought the first thing I could do cheer you up is bring back Agumon to you!" I say that as cheerful as I can, I push Agumon Egg in to Tai face for moment so he can't help but see Agumon Egg is back. I didn't get any reaction from him.
I pull Agumon Egg back into my chest and hold it tight. I sigh I hope he can hear me… That doesn't matter if he can hear me I'll say this as many times as I need to get through to him. I begin to tell him everything "I'm sorry for a lot of things Tai… First one I want to get off my chest is how I act towards you today at lunch… I was being a bitch just because I was following you on a date… I thought I over hear you talking about fucking my clone…" I blush at that part but I continue on "I later learn that you didn't want that sort of relationship with her… and that you refuse her request because you were thinking of me and how you couldn't betray my trust… I'm really sorry for how I act! I wasn't entirely mad at you the whole time it what just sent me over the edge… I realize after my family dinner I was jealous of the clone and didn't really know why… I thought it was because she was taking anyway my best friend and my parents almost replacing me with her… That wasn't the case because…" I take a big gulp before I say what I need to next "The thing is realize that I love you Tai…" Okay I said, just keep calm, everything is going to be alright "I found out when we were about to talk about why you were original depressed, I found out that Matt knew that you like me… Before I ask him to find out for me if you like me or not, because I was too afraid to ask you myself… He told me that you just like me as friend… I was upset for a while, after some time I move on to Matt… That why I didn't know you were asking me out on Christmas Eve at Matt concert… When I found out he lied to me, I flip out at him hard… I also found out more information about everything you done for me Tai… I know now that you plan our third date to Noir and many more date I would consider perfect dates … I know now that you not only got me a wonderful tennis racket at this Christmas but also the red jacket I thought Matt got me… I love it because I though he was paying attention to me and that I would never own it because of the price tag… You always there for me when I need you…" I start to tear up over how much I really did abusive Tai over the years. I can't let this keep happening, I won't make him give up everything for me. "Over the two week the clone was here, realize in more than one way you were always there to cheer me up, or to keep me company. You always come to my tennis practice and you always join me at the flower shop… I did nothing for you, I made time for Matt but never made time for you… I regret everything that has happen… I should have asked you out all those years ago, instead of being afraid I would lose you… since I almost did today…" I start to rub Agumon Egg out nervous feeling I'm getting while I'm doing this I continue "That stops today Tai… I want to be with you if you let me… I want to try and be there for you no matter what… since love is a two-way street and you been walking alone on it for way too long… So, what do you say?"
I look over to Tai and he is showing no reaction to any of this… NO this can't be happening now. I got Agumon back and everything! I know he might be still feeling down but he still should be showing some sort of reaction to having Agumon back. I can't take this nothing is going to work, if bring back Agumon and telling him I love him won't do anything I don't see what will. I start to cry hard and just keep rubbing Agumon Egg. "WHY! Why did… sniff… have to happen… sniff… to sweetest guy I ever will know!" I shout out, I don't think Tai can hear. So, what does it matter. This thought makes me cry even harder than before. "I didn't want to lose you! And yet… sniff… I did anyways!" I am holding Agumon Egg tightly now and just look at this Egg. That when I feel arms being put around me.
I look up to see that it Tai and he says "You know I hate to see when you cry… You should always be smiling it suits you better." As he finishes saying that he gives me his famous grin.
I hit his chest and shout at him while crying "NO, I was meant to cheer you up!" I hit him chest again, and say "This always happens your always there for me and I can't stand not be able to help you now!" I bury my head into his chest and say "I was meant to be there for you this time… sniff… I was meant to be comforting you not the other way around." I look up at Tai then ask him one question "Why me?"
He rolls his eye and says "Because there no else like you, that why. Your always so caring towards people, I thought you need someone to care about you…" then he looks me in the eyes and says, "Do you mean what you say about you loving me?"
I look at Tai and I can't believe he ask me that question, I give him my answer "Of course, I love you with everything I have… I'm sorry for how thing turn out… Will you forgive me?" I look up at him hopefully, I really do want to date Tai no matter what end up happening. I know now I have to act on these feeling or else I will regret them forever, I hope he willing to give it a shoot.
Tai chuckles and says "Sora you're always forgiven in my eyes… but I do appreciate that you apologize when you're in the wrong, it always helps. Also, I think I can still love you back even what happen after with Lilithmon… so if you want we could start to try and date?" He looks really shy asking that to me.
I giggle and smile "Of course silly, I would want nothing more…" that was when I notice Tai flinch when I smile, "Tai are you okay you just flinch when I smile at you?" I ask him hoping nothing is wrong with him.
Tai doesn't know what to say to my question. He just staring off for a while before he answers me "I just remembering what Lilithmon did… I guess it still haunting me a bit… but please don't ever stop smiling because of me, I wouldn't be able to take it." This stupid idiot really is too caring sometimes.
"Tai we will work through this together… promise me that? I want you to tell me everything from now on and I'll do the same… no more of this secret depression… I wouldn't be able to handle that okay?" He nods at me and before he can say anything more we hear a cracking noise.
We both look down and see the Agumon Egg is hatching, we see one line coming the center of the Egg. Then two more lines join it before the entire Egg shell is falling apart to relieve Agumon baby form. He tiny black ball with two tiny lumps on the top of this head or body I'm not sure. Well these two tiny lumps must be his ear so this must be his head. He has two very cute little yellow eyes and he open his tiny mouth and start spraying bubbles everywhere as he tries and talks. He gives up and just snuggles into both of our arms while we are on the ground and falls asleep between the two of us. I giggle a bit since he is being so cute and I look at Tai and see that he is smiling at Agumon being hatch. I rest and snuggles my head into Tai chest, I don't know how long we stay like that but it was nice before there was flash of purple light. I didn't want to get up and just share the moment with Tai for a bit longer, it looks like Tai feels the same so we didn't bother to move.
