Disclaimer: I don't own digimon. Don't sue me.
The power of three
Part 13: Tamers Rekindled
"What!?" Daemon screamed. "The spell is wearing off!!!"
"Henry?" Takato said softly. "Is that you?"
Henry didn't look up. He felt too ashamed of what he had done, everything that harmed someone he cared for.
"I'm sorry..." He sobbed. "This is all my fault. I killed innocent people and digimon."
He continued to slam his fist at the ground and didn't look up. Takato and Rika didn't know what to do. How could they possibly answer? What was there to say?
"I'm an idiot..." Henry continued on, mumbling quietly to himself. "It's all my fault... I've been foolish..."
"Henry..." Terriermon began. "You never did it... it wasn't your fault."
"I... I let darkness control me. If I hadn't, none of this would have happened."
"But you didn't do it because you wanted to." Takato said. "You did it because you were tricked. Everyone makes bad decisions sometimes. I should know! I've been making bad decisions all my life! But with you, and Rika, and all our digimon, we've always pulled through, haven't we?"
"How can I fix this? It's too late to seal the gate." Henry said. "And I don't know what it will take. Even if we find a way, there are hundreds of digimon still roaming the streets."
"Stop being so negative!" Rika yelled. "We'll find a way! No matter how long it takes."
"But..."
"Yeesh! Not another reason!" Terriermon said. "Momentai, will you?" Henry wiped his tear away.
"I'm just not sure I can do anything. I'm still weaker than both of you and Venomhydramon is still a part of me."
"You're wrong!" Takato yelled. "I don't want to hear another thought of that from you!"
"Ya!" Rika added. "You think we made it this far without you? It takes all three of us to do this! No one stronger than the other. You may have a puny digimon... ("hey!" said Terriermon) ... but it doesn't matter how someone looks or what it seems. Between the three of us, no one is stronger or weaker. We're equals, and we're each only a small part of a team!" Henry looked at Rika, then Takato.
"You're right. No matter what happens, it takes all of us to make things right."
"STOP!" Daemon yelled. "This boy is still overclouded with the powers of darkness. You're wasting your time trying."
"No." Henry said, getting up. "You're wrong Daemon. Your control over me is over and there's nothing you can do about it."
"That's it, Henry!" Takato said. "You tell him!"
Daemon just smirked. Soon he began chuckling, then ended up in a laugh, throwing his head back. "What's so funny!?" Rika shouted. Daemon stopped laughing with the menacing grin still on his face.
"It doesn't matter if my control is over. I can insert dark energy in your heart by force and Venomhydramon would be revived. And how do you think you can seal the gate, as well as bring all the digimon back?"
"We don't know yet, but we'll think of something!" Terriermon shouted.
"Oh really?" Daemon pointed his finger over at Henry. A stream of black light struck him and he began to fall again. Henry clutched his chest and began to breath hard.
"Henry!" Terriermon said in a quivering voice.
"Fight him! You know you can do it!" Takato said.
"You can't just give in again!" Rika added.
Henry stood up and didn't look at anyone, except running to seize his sword that laid only a few feet away. He faced Susie still gasping for air and the sword shaking in his hand. In a shout of rage, he raced towards the helpless girl who flung her hands up, trying to shield herself.
"NO! Henry, don't do it!" Rika and Takato yelled in unison.
To their surprise, Henry ran right past Susie and swung his sword into the foggy parts further down the street. A shriek pierced the silent city as data began to appear and fly off into the gate and disappearing.
"Who was that thing!?" Rika cried surprisingly.
Henry picked up a tiny figure from the ground and threw him to where the group was.
"Impmon?" Takato said, recognizing the figure.
"A digimon." Henry said slowly. "I killed Ladydevimon."
Walking up to Takato and Rika, who were trying to aid the beaten digimon on the ground, Henry spoke quietly.
"Don't you see? If Venomhydramon takes over again, he has the power to wipe out every living thing he wishes. I can't keep on fighting him. I can't..."
Henry grunted again, holding on to his chest. Shutting his eyes and trying to erase the pain, he held the sword, the blade facing down to the ground. He jabbed it into the thick concrete and then just stood still.
"It's the only way." Henry muttered. "You have to do it."
Takato's eyes widened. "No. I can't do it."
"Do what, goggle head?" Rika asked.
"You have to kill me, along with Venomhydramon." Henry breath in deeply. "It's the only way. If I die, he dies. You can get rid of him and only have to defeat Daemon."
"That's insane!" Rika screamed. "What are you thinking!? After all we said, does teamwork mean nothing to you?"
"Sometimes we have to make sacrifices."
"There has to be another way..."
"What about me, Henry?" Terriermon asked. "How do I go on without you? We're partners!"
"Susie will take care of you."
"Oh no, first you decide to leave me, now you want to leave me in the princess pretty pants treatment? No way!" Terriermon jumped onto Henry's shoulders.
"Get off, Terriermon..." Henry said trying to push Terriermon off his shoulders. Susie got up and ran towards her brother. She hugged his leg (since she's so short) and kept on crying.
"You can't leave me!" She bawled. "I love you, Henry, you're my brother!"
Henry paused and picked up his sister from the ground. "I'm sorry, Susie... I have to."
"No you don't!" Takato yelled. "Look around you! All the things you have to live for! You have your digimon, your friends, your family... a life of opportunities! And to think you would just throw it all away?"
"But how can anything else be done now?"
"There is another way." A voice muttered. Impmon got up slowly but weakly. "If you destroy Daemon, digimon that followed him out that gate will follow him back in the gate. Once all the digimon who went through that gate return to the digital world... the gate will close and repair itself on its own."
Just as the group was about to reply, a streak of fire shot past Takato, glazing him barely by the neck. It hit Impmon, who screamed in pain and slowly faded away into data.
"Impmon!" Rika yelled. The three tamers and Susie all turned to see Daemon.
"I always thought he talked to much." Daemon muttered. "Oh well. Perhaps he serves a better purpose now." And with that, the specks of blue data vanished into the larger mega digimon. The tamers stared, wide eyed, stunned at what just happened.
"Now that your touchy moments are over..." Daemon smiled at the tamers. "Who would like to be the next to die?"
"THAT'S IT!" Takato screamed, surprising himself more than the others. "I don't care how strong you are or what you can do, but if you kill our friends... then mister, you've just crossed the line."
Rika joined in. "And NOBODY pushes us further than we want to go. Pal, your time has just run out."
"You were wrong, Daemon" Henry said. "You AND Venomhydramon. You have no control over me, and as long as I know I'm not alone, I'll keep fighting you."
Rika pulled out the green D-power that hooked to her belt and tossed it to Henry. He snatched it out of the air, and the moment he did, it burst forth with green light, while Takato's a red light, and Rika's a blue light. "Get ready, Daemon..." Takato said, holding his d-power up.
"Cause you're about to find out..." Rika and Henry said, each holding high their device.
"What real tamers can do!!!" The three yelled in unison. And with that, the colored lights swirled together and streaked into the sky.
