Previously on Digimon Frontier: Chaos Rising
A massive war was occurring in the Dark Kingdom. The evil Legendary Warriors took on the good ones, while Swiftmon and Beautymon dealt with Malevomon. But the main event was between Takuya and Malevomon's newest servant, Zoe Orimoto. With a Chaos Sphere inside her body, her speed and power increased. At certain points in the fight, she was giving Takuya a hard time. But the Bearer of Flame tried to bring his girlfriend back by reminding her of their friendship. And Zoe actually showed some signs of resistance. Unfortunately, the evil emperor came out of nowhere and interrupted the moment.
So, without further ado, here's chapter forty-nine!
Love And War
(Part 2)
Normal POV:
It was a war zone in the Dark Kingdom. There were Digimon left and right fighting each other. The creatures being controlled by Malevomon were battling the fighters from the Digimon Battlefront. The sounds of weapons colliding and screams of pain echoed throughout the area. One by one, Digimon from both sides fall to the ground and disintegrate into pieces when they cannot fight anymore and have already breathed their last breath.
However, the remaining survivors continued to battle their opponents, even when they were at their limits. The good news for the Battlefront is that they had medical help on their side. Only ten Blisseymon joined the troops, just in case a Digimon was seriously wounded. The healing personnel were able provide the soldiers the necessary treatment they needed so they could continue fighting.
But of course, even ten Blisseymon can only do so much. With hundreds of the Battlefront soldiers falling or suffering a serious injury, the nurses didn't have enough time to save everybody. It broke their hearts when wounded Digimon were deleted before their eyes, while they were trying to heal another one. It's a sad dilemma for the Blisseymon. However, there wasn't really much they can do about it.
Elsewhere, the Legendary Warriors were engaged in intense battles against each other. The Beast Warriors of Light and Darkness were running around the leafy lizard, trying to find his weak spot. But every time KendoGarurumon and JagerLowemon connected with one of their attacks, it only made Petaldramon snicker in a cocky fashion.
MetalKabuterimon and Calmaramon tried combining their attacks to take down Gigasmon. Too bad they were not having a lot of success in doing so. The Beast of Earth may be arrogant, but his hard body and unmatched strength gave the Digimon of Thunder and Water a lot of problems.
As for the battle between KoriKakumon and Sakkakumon, it can be described as an even match so far. Regardless how many different types of attacks the Beast Warrior of Steel threw at the nomadic Digimon, the icy creature had the edge in speed. It was a constant exchange of offense and defense between the two Beast Warriors.
Meanwhile, Swiftmon had his hands full holding his own against some of Malevomon's best fighters. His broadswords sliced through their bodies easily like a knife carving through butter. Although he was heavily outnumbered, Swiftmon has the advantage in quickness and brains. By utilizing two of his best weapons, the second-in-command was able to take out a large number of mind controlled Digimon.
The only thing that bothered Swiftmon is that whenever he defeats one of Malevomon's subordinates, three more show up to take their fallen comrade's place.
"KYYYYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The sound of Takuya's voice echoed throughout the Dark Kingdom.
"CUTIE!" screamed the terrified Beautymon when she saw Malevomon unleashing his strongest attack on the Bearer of Flame.
Hearing her 'Cutie' wailing in agony made her heart skip a beat, which served as the perfect motivation to rescue him from the wicked emperor. On the other hand, there was an entire army of Devidramon standing in her way. Each one of them displayed their sharp claws to the female Digimon, ready to swipe at her gorgeous face or her long, elegant dress. But Beautymon wasn't about to let some frightening creatures stand in her way.
The first Devidramon that greeted her unleashed a powerful slash across her chest. All it took was one pirouette and Beautymon easily avoided the first strike. She spun toward the devil-like Digimon and blasted him to smithereens with her Beautiful Beam. Next she backflipped over another swipe from the second Devidramon and blew away his face with one of her pink lasers.
Upon landing, she arched her back into a bridging position to evade the third Devidramon's claw. As Beautymon returned to her regular position, she held her hand up right in front of the dark creature's face. Before the final Devidramon could react, the third-in-command discharged another energy blast in between the enemy's eyes, sending her opponent into oblivion.
"Hang on, Cutie! I'm coming!" Beautymon cried as she hurried toward the goggle-head.
Unfortunately, another group of Devidramon stepped in between her and the teenage boy, preventing the female Digimon from saving him.
Back in the center of the area, Malevomon snapped his fingers to release his attack on the Bearer of Flame. The evil emperor and Zoe Orimoto checked on the boy's condition. Surprisingly, the Bearer of Flame was still on his feet. However, his knee were very wobbly, like he was having trouble keeping his balance. Needless to say that Takuya was a complete mess. His clothes were dirty and his body was in a lot of pain.
But Takuya kept his eyes on his beloved, who looked incredibly distraught. He was saddened to see the mixture of confusion and terror on her face. The boy could tell that she was about to cry at any moment. So in order to prevent the tears from falling, Takuya gave Zoe the best smile he could give her. Hopefully, she could use it as motivation to break free Malevomon's control.
"Zoe... I know you can do it..." muttered Takuya as his consciousness slowly slipped away. "You're a strong girl. Don't let... Ugh... Malevomon win. It's all... up to you now..."
Then Takuya fell on his knees and collapsed on the canvas. A ring of Fractal Code surrounded his body.
"TAKUYA! GET UP, PLEASE!" Bokomon shouted from afar.
Sadly, his cries remained unheard. Takuya was out like a light. Neemon, on the other hand, buried his head underneath one of the bushes so he won't see his human friend's demise.
"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" laughed the malicious ruler. He then turned toward the teenage girl, who was still on her knees and gazing at the fallen human. "Behold, my dear! That is how you defeat a weak, miserable, lousy, pitiful, stupid and pathetic human, such as him!"
All of the nasty things he said about Takuya made the poor girl cringe. And it got worse with each word that came out of Malevomon's mouth. It felt like a dagger twisting and digging deeper into her heart. But she didn't understand why she was having these feelings right now, especially after Malevomon attacked Takuya. Why does she feel sad and guilty watching him suffer, when she should be enjoying his pain?
"And now, to finish him off!" Malevomon declared, snapping Zoe out of her thoughts.
He took a step forward and pointed his hand at the Fractal Code swirling around the human's torso. The powerful Digimon used his psychic powers to bring Takuya's data towards him. Zoe could only watch as the Fractal Code trailed through the air and toward Malevomon's hand. She wanted to step in and stop her master's actions, but couldn't find the courage, the strength, or the reason to do so.
"Hahahaha! Nothing can stop me from taking over the... UGH!"
During his monologue, Malevomon failed to see a large meteorite coming towards him until it was too late. The ginormous fireball nailed the Almighty One in the midsection, knocking him backwards until he crashed into his castle. At the same time, the Fractal Code he was trying to absorbed glided back to its original owner. Bit by bit, the data returned around its ring.
Finally, the Fractal Code surrounding the boy's body disappeared and Takuya's consciousness returned. He got back to a seated position and rubbed his aching forehead. It took a while for his energy to come back. He looked up and remembered that someone has stopped the evil Digimon from absorbing his data. Takuya turned around and gasped when he noticed his rescuer.
"Eldestmon!"
Standing on the edge of the forest was the leader of the Digimon Battlefront and about a hundred more of his troops. Some of them were a little wounded from their previous battles against Malevomon's first line of defense. But other than that, every one of them looked like they were itching for a fight, especially against the wicked emperor and his army.
"Lord Eldestmon!" Swiftmon said as he regrouped with his superior.
"Progress report!" The elderly Digimon requested.
"Well, it appeared as if Malevomon has inserted a Chaos Sphere in the Bearer of Wind! Now, she's only obeying Malevomon's commands!"
"And what about the Legendary Warriors?" asked Eldestmon.
The second-in-command pointed his blade toward the western side of the castle. Eldestmon noticed quite a few ferocious battles against the good Warriors and the evil ones. Although all eight of them transformed into their Beast Spirit forms, it was still unclear who was winning.
"And Beautymon?"
"She's busy taking out..."
"CUTIE!" The olive haired beauty screamed as she rushed toward the seated Takuya.
"Never mind." Swiftmon smacked his forehead the minute he saw Beautymon's googly eyes.
"OH, CUTIE!" Beautymon cried as she dove toward the Bearer of Flame and wrapped her arms around him.
The two of them rolled on the dirt. As Beautymon tightly embraced her 'Cutie,' Takuya struggled to breath. With the female's arms around his neck, it looked like Beautymon was choking him out, rather than hugging him. Even a couple of tap outs weren't enough to get the third-in-command to break the hold. Then again, Beautymon refused to let go because she had almost lost him.
"It's okay, Cutie! I won't let any evil Digimon hurt you anymore!"
"Can't... breathe!" Takuya gagged.
"Beautymon, release him!" Swiftmon growled. His partner sighed, but complied with the swordsman's silent order. She released the boy and regrouped with her two superiors.
"I see! As long as the Bearer of Wind is under Malevomon's control, it will be impossible for us to win!" concluded Eldestmon after gathering all of the information so far.
"Orders, sir?" asked the swordsman.
"I say we blast away all of those evil monstrosities, including Blondie!" suggested Beautymon.
Obviously, not everyone was too excited with her idea.
"Beautymon?" Swiftmon glowered. "Please tell me you're joking!"
"Does it even look like I'm kidding? Haven't you forgotten that she has a Chaos Sphere inside of her? What are we supposed to do? Ask Malevomon politely to remove those things out of her? You should know, Swiftmon, that there is no way to get those spheres out! Once they're inside, then it's all over! She's evil and working for the bad guys! That is, unless one of us destroys her completely, then we can render the Chaos Sphere inside her..."
"Beautymon, shut up!" Takuya snapped at his companion.
The olive haired warrior was aghast that her 'Cutie' said those words to her. This was the first time he blatantly yelled at her. As she stood there trying to let that terrifying fact sink in, Takuya turned toward the leader of the Digimon Battlefront.
"Eldestmon, please!" Takuya begged on his knees. "I don't want to destroy Zoe, just because she has a Chaos Sphere inside! I want to help her! I want to save her from Malevomon's control! Please tell me there's a way we can do that without hurting her!"
"I'm not sure!" Eldestmon sadly shook his head. "Beautymon does have a good point! The only way to make Malevomon's creations useless is to destroy the host! Once their data has been absorbed, the Chaos Sphere inside them won't be a threat anymore! I'm sorry, my boy!"
"See?" Beautymon smirked.
"But there's something else!" Takuya added, which prevented the female Digimon from celebrating too early. "The real Zoe's in there! I just know it!"
"What do you mean?" interrogated Swiftmon.
"I tried talking to her, reasoning with her, tried to get her to remember all of her friends before she was taken away from me!"
"And..." Eldestmon asked, looking quite intrigued.
"I can't really say for sure! But for a brief moment, it seemed like Zoe was trying to resist! She's probably using her willpower, as well as the happy and loving memories of her friends, family and adventures in the Digital World to break free!"
"Oh, Cutie! You can't be serious!" groaned Beautymon.
"I am!" Takuya boldly replied. "I've almost got her to come back to me, if it wasn't for Malevomon! But I can do this, you guys! I swear, I can get Zoe back!"
"Sir?" Swiftmon turned to his superior.
Eldestmon took a step toward Takuya and looked him straight in the eyes.
"How sure are you? What if your friend tries to lure you into coming close, so she can annihilate you when your guard is down?"
"She won't!" Takuya answered with confidence.
"But Cutie..."
"If Zoe is as strong as I know she is, then my life is in good hands!"
"Let's hope you're right!" sighed Eldestmon. He then pointed his cane at the boy. "In that case, then it's up to you to save your friend!"
"Eldestmon..." smiled Takuya.
"Regardless of the risks, do whatever it takes to get her back! But if she becomes an immediate threat, then we have no choice but to bring her down! Understood?"
"You got it!" The Bearer of Flame nodded.
"As for the rest of you..." Eldestmon turned to his followers.
"SIR!" Swiftmon and the rest of the Digimon Battlefront responded. Beautymon, on the other hand, puffed up her cheeks and turned away from her superior.
"Let us put an end to Malevomon's reign of terror, once and for all!"
"YEAH!"
Meanwhile, the wicked emperor has already recovered from Eldestmon's blindside attack. There were a few burns on his outfit, but suffered no other physical damage. As he removed the debris off of his body, Zoe had finally approached him. She did her best to help by removing the chipped stone and rocks off of his cape. However, Malevomon was still angry at the human for not following his orders. He pulled his cape away and glared at Zoe.
"Keep your hands off me!"
"My... My apologies, master!" Zoe bowed, feeling ashamed.
But before Malevomon could continue lashing out on his subordinate, he turned toward the front and finally noticed an army of Digimon heading towards him. That also included, Eldestmon, Swiftmon and Beautymon. His demeanor quickly changed. For the first time, he's been challenged on his own kingdom. Swiftmon and Beautymon did take out quite a good number of his troops, even though he had hundreds more remaining. But even so, Malevomon felt the pressure and decided to call in the big guns.
"Enough of this!" grunted the Almighty One.
He snapped his fingers to summon even more powerful mind-controlled creatures. Numerous amounts of skeleton-like Digimon appeared out of the dirt and onto the battlefield. Some interesting features they had included metallic boots and gloves, dark pants and blackish wings of a devil. As for their weapon of choice, these Digimon wield a staff that had a sharp hook on one side and a yellowish Digicore on the other.
Digimon Analyzer:
Name: SkullSatamon
Level: Ultimate
Attacks: Bone Blaster; Skull Smasher
Description: SkullSatamon are bad to the bone. They are powerful creatures that find amusement in their victim's demise. They laugh because the sound of other Digimon screaming in pain is music to their ears. Their Bone Blaster can disintegrate their opponents and bring havoc everywhere they go.
Behind these monsters were at least two hundred Devidramon. To their right were fifty Bakemon and about seventy-five Vilemon on the left side. Malevomon stood tall as the field general, ready to command his troops into battle.
"SkullSatamon, destroy the rest of the Digimon Battlefront!" ordered their superior.
"Your wish is our command, sire!" proclaimed the skeletons.
"As for the rest of you... ATTACK!"
The evil Digimon charge toward their enemy and broke out of their formation. As for the Digimon Battlefront, they too scatter into the war zone, more than prepared to take on the first mind-controlled fiend they see. The good and bad Digimon exchanged attacks back and forth. One by one, the defeated monsters collapsed and digitized to dust. It was chaos in the Dark Kingdom. But the war has only just begun.
"BONE BLASTER!" Three SkullSatamon took aim at Swiftmon and discharged a triple energy blast.
"Diamond Cutter!" The swordsman whispered, removing both weapons from the scabbard.
He disappeared from sight just as the lightning bolts converged. The skeletons missed their target. But that still didn't stop them from firing their Bone Blasters all over the battlefield. While they did destroy a few Digimon with their reckless firing, some of their allies also got caught in the crossfire. But they didn't care. The SkullSatamon kept shooting, hoping that one of their energy blasts might hit the speedy swordsman.
*clink* *clink* *clink*
The strange noise made the evil Digimon cease their firing. They looked at their staffs and noticed that the yellow core on the end had been cut off. Nervous about when Swiftmon will strike next, the three of them stood with their backs facing each other. Elsewhere, the second-in-command smiled when he had his opponents right where he wanted them.
In a span of five seconds, he quickly danced around the three SkullSatamon, while executing a combination of different slashes across their bodies. Moments later, he reappeared before the dark Digimon. Swiftmon spun one of his blades around before placing back in its original position. But once when the guard touched the scabbard, the SkullSatamon howled in agony before dispersing into tiny pieces.

"TAKE THIS, GRANDPA!" The skeleton-like Digimon barked at Eldestmon before discharging his Bone Blaster at him.
For an old Digimon, the leader of the Battlefront was a very competent fighter. Even when facing four SkullSatamon at once, they couldn't land a single attack. Eldestmon evaded the Bone Blasters with very little movements and kept the skeletons at bay using his mid-range staff. But if it's a close quarters combat Eldestmon wanted, the quartet of SkullSatamon were more than happy to give to him.
The evil Digimon surrounded the Battlefront leader and delivered their strongest overhead strikes on their opponent's head. But the Eldestmon sensed the simultaneous attacks easily. He rose his own staff and blocked all four weapons at once. Next, the SkullSatamon tried to use their strength to bring Eldestmon to his knees. Too bad for them, the elderly Digimon was much more powerful than them, even with the numbers game on their side.
"Pitiful dark creatures! Your wickedness ends here!" proclaimed the leader of the Battlefront. "CHAINS OF SUPREMACY!"
Eldestmon stomped hard on the ground. Suddenly, Chrome Digizoid chains burst from the earth and bound the four skeleton monsters by the arms, legs and neck. The SkullSatamon tried to get the metallic links off of their bodies, but were unable to do so. Meanwhile, Eldestmon stood back up and jabbed the end of his staff into the evil creatures' ribcage. After hitting his opponents' weak spots, the SkullSatamon shrieked in pain as their bodies burst into bits of data.
Finally, there was nothing standing in between him and the wicked emperor of the Digital World.
"Well, if it isn't the old geezer!"
"Malevomon!"
"So, you've finally have the guts to step outside for once, huh? Afraid that your little brigade of do-gooders can't defeat me?"
"You're wrong! I came here to stop you and end all of the pain and suffering you have brought among others!"
"Hmph! You think you can beat me? You're a fool, Eldestmon!"
"I'd be a fool if I didn't try!" replied the wise Digimon.
"You can try all you want! But in the end, I will be the one victorious!"
"We shall see!"
"SAGE'S SHOWER!" ||| "MALEVOLENT ONSLAUGHT!"

Meanwhile, Beautymon was resting near the forest. All of her subordinates and comrades were fighting for the fate of their world, while she's checking her nails and fixing her hair. Occasionally, a couple of Devidramon would go after her with their sharp claws. But Beautymon wanted no part of the action. The minute she saw a couple of Digimon charging toward her, she discharged a Beautiful Beam and blasted them to smithereens.
"Lousy creeps!" She huffed. "Now where did Cutie run off to... Oh, there he is!"
Takuya stood about sixty yards from her current position.
"Cutie! Hold up!" cried Beautymon as she skipped merrily toward the boy.
But the female Digimon stopped dead in her tracks when thirty Devidramon surrounded the Bearer of Flame. With every single exit route cut off, there was nowhere for him to go. The dark creatures pulled back their claws and dove toward Takuya, ready to slice him into mincemeat. Beautymon gasped in fear, before retaliating.
"PETAL DANCE!"
Upon command, a barrage of flower petals danced out of Beautymon's sleeve and swayed around the charging Devidramon. As she expected, the evil monsters came to a halt. The intoxicating scent had paralyzed the Devidramon, preventing them from attacking the human. Takuya turned and saw a beautiful Digimon twirling in the air and landing gracefully next to him.
"BEAUTIFUL BEAM!"
Takuya dove toward the ground and covered his head as Beautymon took care of the evil creatures. With a firing rate of a machine gun, Beautymon sprayed the Devidramon with devastating blasts. Her lasers teared through her opponents, leaving behind large holes all over their bodies. Deafening shrieks filled the area. When the blasting had stopped, the evil Digimon collapsed and fell on the canvas. Moments later, their bodies were deleted from the spot.
With them gone, she was finally has Takuya all to herself.
"Alright, Cutie! How about you and I go someplace where no one can see us do..."
But when she turned to face Takuya, he was already gone. At first, she was surprised that he didn't even pay attention to her. Then, she saw where he was heading. Just about ninety feet ahead of him was the Bearer of Wind.
"Cutie, wait! Don't do it! Blondie's going to destroy you! Don't leave... me... alone..."
But her words fell on deaf ears. The feeling of shock, anger and jealousy were all boiling up inside. Watching her 'Cutie' go after the Bearer of Wind was unbearable to watch. Beautymon was so lost in her whirlwind of emotions, she failed to notice a SkullSatamon was coming on her blindside.
"I got you now, Pretty! SKULL SMASHER!"
He rose his weapon high and went for a downward strike on Beautymon's head. But the female Digimon heard SkullSatamon's words. She extended her arm up and caught the staff with her bare hands. Beautymon turned and leered at her opponent. SkullSatamon tried to retrieve his weapon, but the olive haired warrior refused to let go.
She tugged with all of her might and stole the skeleton's weapon. Beautymon then broke the staff in two and threw both halves at her opponent. The first broken stick went through SkullSatamon's ribcage, and the second one impaled itself into his skull.
"NOBODY CALLS ME 'PRETTY', EXCEPT CUTIE!" Beautymon howled
The unfortunate Digimon then tasted one of her pink lasers at point blank range.

Meanwhile, Zoe was trying to find a way to get involved in the fierce battle between her master's army and the enemy's. She reached into her pocket and felt her D-Tector on her fingertips. After such a horrendous performance to please Malevomon, she vowed to make it up to him. The blonde was about to step back onto the battlefield when...
"Zoe!"
She turned to her left and spotted Takuya.
"You!"
"Listen, Z! I just want to talk! I'm not going to hurt you!"
"Too bad, you annoying little gnat!" Zoe said as she marched toward the human.
Suddenly, her foot kicked something on the ground. But when the Bearer of Wind looked down, she discovered a small knife by her shoe. A malicious grin appeared on her face.
"That's because I do!"
Zoe crouched and picked up the twenty-five inch dagger. Takuya saw the knife in her hand and became nervous. Getting his best friend back involved a lot of risks. But with the look of evil intent in Zoe's eyes, the stakes have gone up. One wrong move could cost him his life. But Takuya proceeded forward. Either he was going to save his beloved, or die trying.
"Please, Z! Don't do it! This is not the Zoe I know!" He started off.
"You know nothing about me!' The blonde grumbled.
She lunged forward and thrusted her knife at Takuya's torso. But the Bearer of Flame tilted his body sideways and avoided the first lethal strike. He took a few steps back to regain some distance. But in a matter of seconds, Zoe was back on the attack. With a deadly weapon in hand, she delivered quick horizontal and diagonal slashes, while mixing in a few thrusts every now and then. Her main target is Takuya's heart.
"Zoe, snap out of it!" Takuya pleaded as he dodged leaned back to dodge another attack.
He then saw Zoe pulling her arm back, ready to thrust her weapon into his chest. As she lunged forward, Takuya timed her attack perfectly. He grabbed her lunging arm and twisted her wrists, causing Zoe to let go of the dagger. As the blonde tend to her carpels, Takuya kicked the knife out of the way and wrapped Zoe in a warm embrace.
But the blonde gave her beloved a knee to the gut, forcing Takuya to double over. With him on the ground, Zoe searched for her weapon. She spotted just a few feet away. Zoe was about to retrieve her dagger, when Takuya grabbed her by the leg. She fell on the canvas and scrapped her knee. But before she could stagger back to her feet, Takuya dove on top of Zoe, turned her on her back and pinned her wrists to the ground.
"Listen to me, Zoe! I love you! I love you so much!"
His words made Zoe gasped. But even that wasn't enough to help her snap out of it. As she struggling to get Takuya off of her, the Bearer of Flame continued with his words of praise.
"I love you more than life itself!"
"You're a liar!"
"No really, Z! I mean it! You're the greatest thing that's ever happen to me!"
"Stop it!"
"You're one of the strongest people I know! Not just on the outside, but the inside as well! Sure you possess the Spirits of Wind, and can kick a lot of butts. But, that's not the only reason why I love you so much! You show a lot of courage!"
"Get off of me!"
"Remember when Gigasmon was about to destroy Tommy? It took a lot of guts to sacrifice yourself so his Spirits wouldn't get taken away! What about the time when Ranamon changed into Calmaramon for the first time before she wrecked the whole place? Even when you didn't have Beast Spirits, you still took her on to protect me and the others!"
"Nng..."
"And let's not forget when Cherubimon attacked us when we tried to rescue Ophanimon! He took all of our Spirits, except yours! But no matter how strong of a Digimon he was, that didn't stop you from..."
"SHUT UP!" commanded Zoe.
She bucked her hips upward so she could get her 'former' best friend off balanced. Once she saw Takuya collapsing on his hands, she rolled over sideways and readjusted her position. Now, she was on top of him. Zoe tried going for punch on Takuya's nose, but the Bearer of Flame pushed her off with his legs. The blonde stumbled backwards. However, she regained her footing easily. Unfortunately for her, Takuya was already back on his feet.
"Leave me alone!" ordered the Bearer of Wind.
But instead of retreating, Zoe collapsed on her knees and rubbed her aching cranium. Low volume moans escaped her lips. However, Takuya knew that this was a sign of the real Zoe trying to fight back the dark powers of the Chaos Sphere. It's working so far, but he had to keep trying.
"I know you're strong, Zoe! You're also brave, kind, unique, out-going, optimistic, and most of all, very beautiful!"
"Me... beautiful?" gasped Zoe before the migraines returned.
"Absolutely!" Takuya approached his girlfriend. "I love everything about you: your mesmerizing eyes, your gorgeous hair, your soft touch, your cute smile, your pretty face, the way you speak Italian! You really are spectacular, Z!"
"No... Takuya..."
But the boy wrapped his arms around Zoe and gave her a great big hug. Initially, the young woman was puzzled by his actions. Then again, the feeling she had in her stomach was so enjoyable, she didn't want it to stop. Before she knew it, Takuya had both hands just above her hips.
Slowly, he swayed from side to side like they were... dancing. As for icing on the cake, Takuya started humming the song that Zoe sang for him back at the Human World. While he wasn't the greatest musically, he remembered how the tune went and did his best singing in front of his girlfriend.
From Zoe's vantage point, flashing images of her and Takuya dancing with each other started running through her head like a high speed slideshow. The more she saw, the more questions pop in her mind. Why were they dancing? And why did she look so happy? Not only did those images looked real, but they felt real as well. A joyful sensation came about her heart, causing the young woman to smile.
Takuya then released her hips and ceased the dancing for a moment. Takuya trailed one hand down Zoe's golden locks and on her soft cheek. With his other hand, he cupped his beloved's chin and gazed into her eyes. Takuya then noticed something different. In the beginning, the look in her eyes whispered evil, darkness and power hungry. Now, Takuya saw a mixture of guilt and doubt. To ease her mental pain, the boy gave Zoe a soft smile that usually takes away all of her sadness and tears.
"Zoe, please." Takuya begged one last time. "You love me, just like I love you. Believe me. We promised that we'll always be there for each other, no matter what. And I promised you that I will love you and protect you with everything I have. I know you remember, Zoe. I just know you do."
"I... I can't..."
He placed a finger on her lips and drew in closer towards her. This was it. Takuya was going to put it all on the line. If this doesn't help her regain control, nothing will. Takuya took a deep breath, closed his eyes and tilted his head sideways.
"Zoe... Ti amo!"
Takuya pulled Zoe's mouth to his lips, and gave him the most affectionate kiss he could give her. Zoe's eyes shot up. She tried pushing the boy off of her, but Takuya has his lips locked onto hers.
Suddenly, Zoe's mind was flooded with thousands of images of her and Takuya together. She first saw the two walking together in the park. Next, she saw herself inside a Trailmon with him by her side. After that, she saw the two of them laughing with each other. Zoe couldn't tell if Takuya just told a joke or if they're enjoying each other's company. Either way, she was smiling and looked very ecstatic that she was with him.
Next came many images of them holding hands and poking one another. Zoe then saw her and Takuya in each other's arms. The last set of images were the two of them kissing each other passionately. Everything she saw felt so real to her. Zoe tried telling herself that all of those memories were only illusions, but she couldn't explain why seeing her with him made her so happy.
Finally, Takuya broke off the kiss and gazed at her beloved. The young woman had her eyes close and her body loose. It seemed like the quick, mental trip down memory lane turned her legs to jelly. She collapsed on her knees and panted for air. Zoe clutched her forehead, trying to fight off the aching side effects.
"Zoe?" The Bearer of Flame called out to her.
Upon hearing his voice, the blonde beauty opened her eyes and looked at the human standing before her. Takuya, on the other hand, was more than relieved to see Zoe's emerald eyes, instead of the bloodshot red ones. It told him that his best friend was back.
"Zoe!"
"Takuya... UGH!"
Again, she placed both hands on her head and the headaches came back. At the same time, Zoe felt something tightening in the center of her chest. Seeing his girlfriend in so much agony made Takuya sick. He crouched down by her side and hugged her one more time, hoping that it work like last time.
But even a warm embrace wouldn't stop Zoe from crying. She released herself from Takuya's arms and shoved him to the ground. The goggle-head landed on his back hard. But he kept his eyes on Zoe, who wasn't any getting better. She was shrieking like a banshee, trying to endure the agonizing pain.
"Zoe, what's wrong?"
"OW! TAKUYA... HELP ME... AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
The teenage girl got back to a standing position. But her hands remained on her cranium. It was like her skull was being squeezed in a vice. No matter how hard she fought, the pain wouldn't go away. It wasn't long before her shrieks began to subside. The pain in her head was gone and the girl lowered her arms to the side. Next, she gave Takuya a terrifying glare.
"Now, where were we?" She asked in a dark voice before taking a step toward the boy.
"Zoe, no!" gulped Takuya. To his dismay, his best friend was still under the influence of the Chaos Sphere.
"Silence, you little tick! Lord Malevomon has ordered me to annihilate you, and that's exactly what I'm gonna... UGH!"
The girl grabbed her temple and the migraines resumed. She dropped to the ground and screamed from the top of her lungs. However, Takuya stood there wondering what he should do. It appeared as if the real Zoe is in a mind struggle against the powers of the evil orb inside her. The only problem is he couldn't tell which side is winning.
"Get... out of my head... now!"
"BE QUIET, FOOLISH GIRL! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M TRYING TO DESTROY TAKUYA?"
"No! Ugh... I won't... let you!"
"LET ME? HA, YOU CAN'T EVEN STOP ME!"
"Yes... I can!"
"Zoe!" Takuya cried out to his struggling girlfriend.
But when he saw her eyes, he became as pale as a ghost. The crimson pupils indicated to him who was in control of Zoe's body.
"It's time for you to say goodbye, little boy!" The evil, young woman grinned.
Suddenly, she sprinted toward Takuya and was ready to pounce on him. The teenage boy tried moving out of the way, but Zoe was way too quick for him. She spread her arms out wide and quickly closed the distance.
But just as she was about to tackle her best friend, the aggravations in her head returned. This caused her to inadvertently change her target from Takuya's midsection to his legs. Sadly, she couldn't get a good grip on his lower extremities as she landed in a crouching position.
But Takuya took advantage of the situation. He wrapped his arms around Zoe's waist and shifted his weight from the top of her shoulder to her left hip. This allowed Takuya to spin and rotate his girlfriend's body over the top of his. As the two of them fell to the ground and rolled over, the Bearer of Flame sought to gain positional control over his opponent. Once Zoe was on her back, he sat on top of her chest with and pinned Zoe's arms.
"Ugh... Takuya!" She moaned as the headaches continued.
"It's alright, Zoe! I'm here!" said the goggle-head.
"Takky! You... you have to..." She spoke before opening her emerald eyes.
"What?"
"You... have to... destroy me!" Zoe requested.
But her last couple words made Takuya froze. His heartbeat accelerated and his breathing became a little more shallow than usual.
"You want me to what?" Takuya asked, hoping she wasn't serious.
"Please, Takuya... stop me! Destroy me! It's the only way... Nng... to stop the Chaos Sphere inside me!"
"No! I won't! There has to be another way, Zoe! You can win this fight! I know you can! But you have to try!"
"Malevomon's too powerful!" grunted his beloved. "I can't... keep this up! Please, finish me... before I destroy..."
"Forget it!" replied the Bearer of Flame. "You expect me to destroy the one I love? No way! Zoe, listen to me! Malevomon's not as powerful as you think! Look at yourself! You've almost broken free from his clutches! Keep fighting, Zoe! Don't let him take control over you!"
"Takuya, I..."
"GET UP, YOU STUPID GIRL!" An evil voice shouted from behind the couple.
Takuya looked up and noticed Malevomon still locked in a heated battle against Eldestmon. The leader of the Battlefront swung his staff at his nemesis, but the ruthless ruler blocked it with his forearm. He then used his telekinesis to shove Eldestmon back toward the forest. With the elderly Digimon temporarily gone, Malevomon glowered at the two humans; mainly at Zoe.
"Malevomon! You can't keep controlling Zoe forever! Sooner or later, she's going to overcome the Chaos Sphere inside her..."
"NEVER!"
As if on cue, the evil Zoe had regained control. First, she gave Takuya a vicious headbutt. This made him loosened his grip on her arms. Zoe quickly freed herself and grabbed Takuya's collar. She bucked her hips upward and went along with the rotation until was on top of him. The blonde then pounced on Takuya and grabbed his neck with both hands. Tightly she squeezed, cutting off the oxygen supply to his brain.
"Zoe... *cough*..." gagged the Bearer of Flame.
"Yes, that's it my child! Now, finish him off!" Malevomon ordered, extending his arm out toward the couple.
As she continued choking the life out of her 'former' best friend, Zoe's eyes spotted another dagger conveniently laying right next to them. But first, she had to take care of the goggle-head. First, she released Takuya's neck and gave him a solid hook across the face, knocking him in a daze. As he recovered, Zoe reached over and grabbed the knife on the ground. However, her actions never escaped her boyfriend's eyes.
"Zoe, no!" He gasped.
"I'm sorry! Malevomon's too powerful! He has full control over my body! There's nothing I can do!" Zoe said sadly.
"Yes, you can!" Takuya replied. "You're not just strong physically, but mentally and emotionally as well! You can still win! You can still do the right thing! I know you have what it takes to beat Malevomon!"
"Takuya..." gulped the blonde as she held the dagger in front of his throat.
"STOP!" KoriKakumon shouted from behind.
She turned and saw the Beast Warriors of Ice, Earth and Wood converging. To her right was Swiftmon with both weapons in his hand. On her left side was Beautymon, who had her eyes locked on to her target. Moments later, she was surrounded by a hundred Digimon from both sides. Every one of them had their weapons out and were prepared to strike if Zoe obeyed or disobeyed Malevomon's command.
"Destroy him! NOW!" ordered the wicked ruler.
"No, my child! Don't listen to him!" Eldestmon said.
"Stop stalling and do it already!" encouraged Sakkakumon.
"You better not, Blondie!" Beautymon threatened.
"Go on, princess! Finish him off!" MetalKabuterimon cheered.
"Back away from the other human and nobody's gonna get hurt, right?" said Petaldramon.
"Obliterate the sad, little sap, Sugar!" Calmaramon commanded
"Don't make Gigasmon wants to pound you!" leered the Warrior of Earth.
Time stood still. Every Digimon stayed within range, yet not a single creature moved. But the Battlefront feared the worst. Intervening could prove costly. Even Swiftmon, the quickest Digimon in the group, was having second thoughts. Although it is possible he could remove the dagger from Zoe's hands, it was too risky.
The thunderous noises of almost every Digimon telling her what to do bounced in her mind, thus worsening her throbbing headaches. It was a tug-of-war from Zoe's perspective. All she had to do was slit the boy's throat, and he's out of her life completely. But why was she struggling to finish him off? She has the blade on his neck, but cannot bring herself to slice it off. The internal struggle brought poor Zoe to tears. And with every Digimon, including Malevomon, screaming at her, the pain only grew worse.
However, there was only one person that wasn't yelling at her. And that was Takuya. While his life was at Zoe's mercy, he did not raise his voice, nor fought back. His arms laid by his side and his eyes gazed at his beloved. From that point on, all of her attention was solely on Takuya. Zoe was able to drown out most of the sound pounding her eardrums. She pretended it was just him and her, with nobody else around.
"Zoe, please listen." Takuya said softly, but with patience and kindness in his voice. "This is your chance to prove yourself. Show everyone that you're not weak or useless. Prove to Malevomon that he can't control you. It's never too late to do the right thing, Z. That's what I love about you. You keep fighting until the very end. And this time's no different."
"But..." Zoe sniffed. A small tear fell off of her cheek and landed on her boyfriend's.
"Everything's going to be alright. I trust you. Always have, always will. Zoe... I love you so much."
"Oh, Takuya..." sobbed the blonde.
The tears wouldn't stop falling. Her boyfriend was going to die by her own hands. And unless she does the impossible, she could say goodbye to him forever.
"What's going to happen, sir?" Swiftmon approached his leader.
"We're about to find out!" answered Eldestmon.
It seemed like an eternity since the last time Zoe moved. But after crying for several moments, the Bearer of Wind stared into his eyes for (what might possibly be) the last time.
"Takuya?"
"Yes, Zoe?" Her boyfriend smiled.
"Please forgive me, for everything I've done and for all the pain I've given you."
"Of course I do."
"And promise me something..."
"Anything."
"You and I... will always be together... forever." Zoe begged, trying not to cry.
"Forever... and beyond." Takuya nodded one last time before he relaxed his body, closed his eyes and waited for his imminent end.
"Thank you, Takuya."
The Bearer of Flame waited for his throat to be slit. He felt the cold, steel blade on his neck. Yet, it didn't budge. He waited for what appeared to be hours. And sure enough, he was still alive. Or was he? Wondering if something has happened to his best friend, Takuya reopened his eyes to check what was going on.
But what he saw was most shocking.
The young woman roughly, but gradually brought the knife off of Takuya's throat and tossed it aside. Then with her other hand, Zoe tried to force herself to reach into one of her pockets. Takuya could her his beloved grunting terribly, as she doubled her efforts to fight back Malevomon's evil control.
Slowly, her hand entered her right pocket and searched for her lavender D-Tector. It took a lot out of the blonde to pull the device out. But by then, she was sweating profusely and gasping for breath.
Of course, her actions didn't go unnoticed. While she was trying to take out her D-Tector, the Digimon Battlefront and the good Legendary Warriors slowly lowered their weapons. As for the evil Warriors, they were stunned that the human was resisting Malevomon's commands.
And speaking of which, the malicious ruler was almost at his boiling point. Never in his life has someone successfully fought back the ultimate powers that the Chaos Sphere possessed. Initially, her mind and body belonged to him. But the moment Zoe brought out her D-Tector, Malevomon felt that he had lost control over his human servant.
And that made him really angry.
"And promise me one more thing, Takuya." Zoe continued as she pointed her device at Takuya's side pocket, where she believed his D-Tector was. "Please... take Malevomon down. For our friends... for every Digimon in this world... and for me."
"Zoe..." gasped the goggle-head.
The young woman was almost at her limit. Her energy level's almost depleted. But there was one more thing she had to do. Her body was in a lot of pain. Her head was throbbing like never before. And it seemed like it won't be long before Malevomon regains control over her. However, thanks to Takuya's words of hope and affection, Zoe found the strength to fight through the pain so can complete her task.
"WIND INTO FLAME!"
A trail of Fractal Code linked from the screen on Zoe's D-Tector to Takuya's. The boy exhaled greatly. He watched astonishingly as the Spirits of Kazemon and Zephyrmon appeared out of his girlfriend's device, glide along the trail of data and enter into his D-Tector, just like Zoe commanded. Finally, the transfer of Spirits was complete. He was very happy, but not because of he had both his and his girlfriend's Spirits.
"Zoe, you've done it! You were able to resist Malevomon's power! I just knew you could do it!" Takuya continued, which made Zoe unleash tears of joy.
"Oh, Takuya!"
The Digimon Battlefront also joined in by cheering for the Bearer of Wind's efforts or just a simple nod of acknowledgement.
"I'm so proud of you, Z! What you did today was unbelievable! Ah, man! I could just..."
"NOOOOOOOOO!" The wicked sovereign roared that almost made the ground shake.
Everyone in the area shifted their attention to the evil emperor, including Takuya and Zoe. The first thing they noticed was the ghastly glare on his face. Apparently, seeing the teenage girl giving her Spirits to her boyfriend made Malevomon very angry. Using the Bearer of Wind to do his bidding was foolproof. Also, having her fight against her friends would've made his conquest much easier.
How ironic that his newest servant would be the one who ruined his entire master plan.
"AARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!" The upset Malevomon howled.
He extended his arm out toward the humans, but had Zoe locked in his sights. Malevomon levitated her off the ground with his psychic abilities. Zoe flopped her arms around and did whatever she could to get herself down. But there were two problems. First of all, it took a lot out her just to give her Spirits to Takuya. She was already out of energy. Zoe couldn't muster up any strength to fight.
Secondly, there has been only a few that were able to resist Malevomon's telekinetic abilities. Unfortunately, Zoe wouldn't be joining that list anytime soon. The rage-filled sovereign supinated his forearm and flexed his hand, motioning the girl back toward him. Once she was close enough, Malevomon grabbed Zoe by the neck and tightened his grip without any remorse.
"YOU FOOLISH GIRL! HOW DARE YOU DEFY ME! I SHALL MAKE YOU SUFFER!"
"ZOE, HANG ON!" Takuya sprang to his feet and rushed toward his girlfriend. The rest of the Digimon Battlefront followed behind the Bearer of Flame.
But they didn't get very far. A hundred SkullSatamon and Devidramon formed multiple lines in front of their superior. With their respective claws and weapons out, they were going to make sure that nobody getting toward their master; not without a fight. Even the evil Legendary Warriors joined in as they pick a fight with the first Battlefront Digimon they saw.
Although there were so many Digimon fighting each other from his point of view, Takuya could still see his defenseless girlfriend still hanging in Malevomon's grasps. He tried to get close, but it was too crowded on the battlefield. And even when Takuya had room to run, there was always an evil Digimon there to greet him.
"ZOE!" He reached out and called his beloved.
"Ta... Takuya..." coughed Zoe as her consciousness slowly slipped away.
"Someone stop him!" Eldestmon ordered his troops. He already had his hands full trying to fend off ten SkullSatamon at once.
"I'm out of position!" grunted Swiftmon as he glanced toward his partner. "Beautymon?"
"What? Can't you see I'm busy?" The female Digimon glowered at his partner before blasting away a Devidramon without even looking.
Meanwhile, Malevomon has had just about enough. He lifted the poor blonde up and slammed her hard on the solid ground. Her spine collide against the unforgiving canvas. The force of the chokeslam was so strong, it created a large creator on the ground. Zoe howled in severe agony, but Malevomon wasn't done yet. He brought her back to his eye level and opened his free hand. A black sphere began to take shape in his palm.
"Sparring your life was one of my few mistakes! I've should've done this... A LONG TIME AGO!" screamed the Almighty One.
"No..." Zoe gulped.
"MALEVOLENT ONSLAUGHT!"
Instead of throwing the sphere are the helpless young woman, Malevomon thrust his large orb at her. With her still in his clutches, Zoe could do nothing as the evil ruler's energy ball consumed her entirely. Inside the sphere, the girl felt her body was on fire, as the power of evil drained her life force. The pain doubled with each passing second. But the Ultimate Digimon was out of patience and mercy.
"YYYEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!"
"ZOOOEEEEEEE!" Takuya shouted with his eyes watering.
After a full minute of suffering, the evil emperor stopped his attack so he can observe what was left of the girl. She wasn't moving at all. Her blonde hair covered the pain written on her face. Without a doubt, Zoe was almost at her end. Her life energy was about empty. At point blank range, it was nearly impossible for anyone to survive that attack. Finally, Malevomon tossed her into the air.
"ZOE, NO!"
Takuya slammed on the brakes and backpedaled as fast as he could in order to get in better position to catch his beloved. Unbeknownst to the Bearer of Flame, a bunch of Devidramon were already behind him, ready to cut Takuya in half the moment he stepped into their strike zone. Just when Takuya was about to draw nearer...
"CHAINS OF SUPREMACY!"
After quickly taking care of the last SkullSatamon that faced him, the wise Digimon stomped on the ground. Chrome Digizoid chains burst out of the dirt and wrapped around the Devidramon's body. Thanks to Eldestmon, he was able to clear a path for Takuya, so he can run freely and focus on catching Zoe. The goggle-head panicked a little bit at the speed his unconscious girlfriend was going. But he kept moving, determined to save her.
As his beloved began to descend, Takuya flexed his elbows into a right angle, and pronated his forearms so his best friend would have a place to land on. The Bearer of Flame continued to backpedal quickly to the spot he predict his best friend would fall. Finally, Takuya slowed down his momentum, squatted downwards and was in great position to catch her.
Sure enough, he was right on the money. Zoe fell perfectly into her boyfriend's arms. Unfortunately, Takuya didn't take gravity into consideration, as the two of them fell on the ground. He landed hard on his back and slid on the dirt, but was relieved to know that Zoe had a softer landing.
Finally, Takuya set the girl on her back.
"Zoe! Zoe, wake up!" He called as he gently shook her. But the blonde's eyes remained closed. Takuya couldn't stop his tears from falling. He collapsed his head on top of Zoe's stomach and started to cry.
"BLISSEYMON!" ordered Eldestmon after defeating another SkullSatamon.
Upon command, two medical Digimon ceased their healing on other Digimon and scurried as fast as they could toward Zoe. Once they reached her, one assessed the girl's condition while the second Blisseymon started healing her. Takuya knelt by Zoe's side and held her hand, praying desperately that she would make it. But he knew it was going to take a miracle to save her.
Suddenly, he felt Zoe's hand gripping tight on to his. Muffled, yet agonizing groans entered his ear and recaptured his attention. Takuya's heart almost stopped the moment he saw his girlfriend's emerald eyes gazing at him. A weak smile appeared on Zoe's face as she reached her other hand out towards her boyfriend's cheek. Takuya gasped when her soft hand made contact with her face. He placed his hand on top of Zoe's, but still continued to cry.
"Oh Zoe!" The boy sobbed.
"Takuya... thank you." whispered Zoe, doing her best to ignore the pain inside and outside her body.
"For what?"
"For helping break free."
"What are you talking about? That was all you." Takuya shook his head. "I knew you were able to resist because of how strong you are. Not a single person I know has that kind of determination, courage and strength that you have, Zoe."
"You're sweet Takuya." The blonde stifled a giggle.
Then, she shook her head.
"But you're wrong. My strength hasn't always been there naturally. Sure... I may be tough and strong... but it's because of you Takuya. You are... my inspiration and the reason why I'm who I am. That's why... I want to thank you. If it wasn't for your enthusiasm and unyielding determination, I would still be that lost Italian girl who's still trying to make friends... and find love. "
"Zoe..."
"Now go and get Malevomon."
"I will..." Her boyfriend nodded.
"Takuya, I... I lov..."
Her strength was gone before she could finish. Slowly, her eyes closed. Her arms trailed down Takuya's cheeks and fell to the ground. Her breathing has stopped and so has her movements. The Bearer of Flame couldn't stop crying. The pain in his heart was unbearable. Takuya held on tight to her hands, hoping that would wake her up. But it didn't.
"Takuya..." The voice of KoriKakumon spoke.
He released Zoe's hand and placed it on her chest. Takuya looked at his unconscious beloved one more time before turning back to the battlefield. He noticed that the Beasts of Ice, Earth and Wood were all standing beside him. Fractal Code surrounded their bodies as they revert back into their Human Spirit forms.
"For Zoe." Kumamon said.
"And for the other Digimon as well, right?" Arbormon agreed.
"Let's give stinking Malevomon beating he deserve." Grumblemon grinned.
"You guys..." The Bearer of Flame spoke.
"You know what to do, Takuya." The Warrior of Ice smiled at the human. Takuya nodded and pointed his D-Tector at the Legendary Warriors.
"ICE INTO FLAME!"
"EARTH TO FLAME!"
"WOOD INTO FLAME... RIGHT?"
Fractal Code spiraled around the Warriors' bodies as they allow themselves to revert back into their Spirit forms. Finally, three long strips of data connected in between Takuya's D-Tector and the Spirits of Wood, Earth and Ice. One by one, the goggle-head absorbed the data, along with the Spirits at the end. At long last, the Spirits of Flame, Wind, Ice, Earth and Wood were all in his D-Tector. But before Takuya could move on, he gave his girlfriend one last look.
"Zoe... don't you worry. I promise you, I'll get that creep... if it's the last thing I do. When I get back, please wait for me." He said to himself.
"I love you, Zoe! This one's for you!"
*Insert Song: The Last Element*
Inside Takuya's D-Tector, the five Human and Beast Spirits converged on the center figure of the device. With his D-Tector in his right hand, Takuya extended his left hand out in front. A fireball the size of his palm appeared, but then it quickly dispersed, revealing an orb of Fractal Code. After a couple of arm crosses, Takuya brought the ball of data together with his D-Tector.
"UNITY EXECUTE…" He screamed swiping the Fractal Code with the scanner. "... UNIFIED SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"
A long line of data swirled around the teenager. The Human and Beast Spirits of Flame, Wind, Ice, Earth and Wood awakened inside simultaneously. Takuya felt a powerful surge of energy flowing throughout his body. The boy spread his arms and legs out so he can combine himself with the other ten relics.
The Human Spirits of Flame, Wind and Ice merged first with his chest and shoulders. Next, the Human Spirit of Earth and Wood synthesize with Takuya's legs. It was followed by the Beast Spirits of Wood, Earth, Ice and Wind, fusing with the boy's body. Finally, the Beast Spirit of Flame merged with Takuya's head. As the relics conjoined with the human, raging flames exhumed outward.
After a while, the transformation was complete. With a large broadsword in hand, the newly formed Digimon unleashed two powerful slashes, followed by a thrust up the middle.
"EMPERORGREYMON!"
