Chapter 26

Drowning in the Abyss- Stage 3 So this is the Nightmare King?

The group watched as the two black mega level digimon led their digimon in the fight against the enemy. Luke explained almost everything that had happened and they understood that it was the right thing to do. The natives of the domain joined in and slowly the enemy started retreating. Streams of black flames were sent their way. Using the huge sword in his hand BlackVictoryGreymon redirected the attack. The hooded figure laughed and continued to send streams of flames in their direction.

"So the Nightmare King comes out to play." DarkZ'dGarurumon said. "Z'd Cannon." the cannon that was mounted on the back of the mega-level digimon began to glow and seconds later it fired clashing with the flames.

"You're no match for me." the Nightmare King said. He removed his cloak to reveal himself. His body was red, across his chest was blue colored armor, across his eyes was a helmet the same blue color, he had blond hair and black leathery wings. The group stared at him in awe.

"So this is the Nightmare King." Izzy said.

"Yes this is our master." Saberleomon said.

The Nightmare King looked at Saberleomon and the others in disgust. He raised on of his clawed hands, it grew and with it he grabbed the lion digimon. The digidestined watched as the life seemed to exit Saberleomon and enter their enemy. When he was done sucking the life out of his minion Saberleomon disappeared and he moved on to his other pets. When each one of them had disappeared the Nightmare King looked different, he gained the back end of Saberleomon's body though it was red like his skin and two eyeless heads on either side of his body.

"This is my true form." he said in an angelic voice that could fool anyone.

"Gross." Luke said.

At the hospital…

"Uncle Teek, I think that they're facing the Nightmare King now." Andrea said looking out the window as she spoke. "I have to get up there."

"You can't leave this room." her uncle said.

She didn't say anything. It was all up to Luke to get the Nightmare King weak enough to let go of her life and then she'd go. Already she felt better but she was still on the verge of death, if Luke wasn't careful she wouldn't make it.

"Uncle, as they fight him he forgets about me. When the time comes that he forgets about me completely I will be able to feel it and when I do I want you to take me to the battle." she said looking at her uncle with such intensity and determination that he had to nod. "Thank you, it won't be long now."

"Can I ask you something, honey?" TK asked his niece.

"Not to be a smart ass or anything but you just did." she said pulling her covers over her mouth to hide a smile, TK saw it anyway, in her eyes. He was always amazed by the fact that Andi's eyes were identical in every way to Matt's eyes, sometimes it felt as if he were looking at Matt. "But you can ask another question if you want."

"Were you prepared for this?" he asked and when she quirked her blond eyebrows at him he decided to rephrase the question. "Did you know that it was going to play out like this?"

"I had a general idea of what was going to happen. Never did I think I was going to be lying in a hospital breathing through a tube and with a broken wrist." she answered. With a sudden intake of breath she was free, she had been forgotten. "Uncle it's happened I'm free. We have to go now."

"You're not leaving this room in hospital gowns are you?" TK asked.

"Nope, grandma is coming back with some clothes." Andrea answered. Just then Nancy walked into the room.

TK left the room and Nancy handed her granddaughter the clothes she had gone to go get. Andrea slipped on the back Capri sweat pants, the teal and white baseball tee, and her favorite navy blue hoodie. Slowly she put on her socks and shoes. When she was dressed her grandmother walked back in and sat her down, she brushed her granddaughter's hair. TK walked in, a look of worry was plastered on his face.

"What's wrong dear?" Nancy asked her youngest son.

"I'm worried about leaving Kari and the baby here alone."

"There not going to be alone, Joe's going to be here." Andrea said.

"If you're leaving this hospital then I'm coming with you." Joe said as he walked past her room.

"See, she is going to be here with the baby all alone and unprotected." TK said.

"Maybe we can help you with that." the three of them turned around. Standing in the doorway was someone TK only met once before. The Colorado native gave them a smile before extending out his hand. TK walked over and shook it. "It's been a while."

"It sure has, Willis." TK said. "What are you doing here in Japan?"

"Wendy and Whitney want to help out their fellow digidestined. Plus we were planning a visit and what better time then now. You go and help out the others, I'll take care of Kari." Willis said. TK nodded, Patamon flew into the room and landed neatly on Andrea's head.

"Joe's ready to go." Patamon said.

"Come on girls." TK said to the three girls.

With the group…

"What do we do now Luke?" Zoey asked wincing as her partner was shot down from the sky. "He's taking us on all by himself and he's winning."

"We're going to hold our ground until the time is right." Luke answered watching as the two dark megas successfully hit the Nightmare King. "Dad will you and Matt come with me?"

"Sure." the two adults said.

The three of them walked over to a secluded area of the domain. Luke explained to them what Andrea had told him they had to do. They nodded, the three of them looked up their digimon's strength was falling. The Nightmare King forced the two young mega-level digimon down into the ground. He got into their faces and prepared to attack, a close range attack would finish the two.

"Hand Of Faith!"

"Vulcan's Hammer!"

"Rapid Fire!"

"Bunny Blades!"

The four attacks hit the Nightmare King thrusting him off of the two megas. BlackVictoryGreymon got up from the ground and joined the others in the fight. DarkZ'dGarurumon stood up like the digidestined he was looking for the last members of their group. He saw them, he saw her, his partner alive and well. TK set his niece down, her eyes found her partner and he nodded and returned to the fight launching the Z'd cannon on his back. Never in her life did she want to run up to her dad but there was a first time for everything, he caught her and pulled her in close to him.

"I don't get it." he said.

"I do." she mumbled. She pulled away and walked over to Luke, she locked eyes with the Nightmare King. "You look hideous, all offense intended."

"Now that you're here we can finally end this." Luke said. He looked at her and gave her a smirk before handing her the digivice and crest that belonged to her. "Is it time?"

"Yes." she answered as an army of digimon made their way toward them. "The others need to handle them and the four of us need to focus all of our attention on him. Did you tell them what our digimon need to do?"

"Yes and they're ready to go."

"Then lets do it." the two of them took out their digivices.

"DarkZ'dGarurumon…"

"BlackVictoryGreymon…"

"…DNA digivolve to…ChaosOmnimon."

"WarGreymon…"

"MetalGarurumon…"

"…DNA digivolve to…Omnimon."

"You digidestined are foolish prepare to die." the Nightmare King said as he stared down ChaosOmnimon's black sword and Omnimon's cannon. "Infernal Nightmare."

Black flames surrounded Luke, Andrea, Tai, and Matt separating them from the others.
