Sickness-Part V: The End-or is it???
"What do you want?" Sora repeated.
Viromon turned to her and said: "Nothing that concerns you."
"Are you going to tell us already?" Matt questioned. He felt resentment toward this new Digimon, this Viromon.
"You shall see," Viromon replied.
Before another request for his reasons could be uttered, Viromon began chanting something in a very strange language.
The words seemed to melt together until it sounded like a single, solid word chanted over and over again as steadily as the wind blowing through the trees.
Izzy listened to the chant intently, trying to figure out what Viromon was saying. Strangely, the words almost felt as though they were surrounding him, engulfing him.
He was brought crashing back to reality when a shriek from Sora shattered his concentration. Izzy wondered what could be happening, then he noticed Tai.
Tai was glowing faintly and becoming transparent.
"What's happening to him?!?" Sora screamed.
"I believe" Izzy explained "he's being deleted."
"But-but if he's being deleted, why is it taking so long?" Mimi questioned.
"Sometimes when you delete a very complex file on a computer it takes longer than a normal file," Izzy grimly answered.
That was when it all clicked into place for Izzy. Viromon had made Tai sick and Viromon was back to finish the job. He would have said "prodigious" but there was no time even for that. All he knew was that Viromon couldn't be allowed to finish the chant.
Running at top speed, Izzy raced to Viromon hoping against hope that he wouldn't be too late.
"What are you doing, Izzy?" Joe shouted, but to no reply.
Izzy lunged for Viromon-only to end up going THROUGH Viromon. The chant abruptly stopped, Tai stopped disappearing and Viromon turned to Izzy.
"So you think you can outsmart me?" Viromon hissed in the most poisonous of poison tones. "I was going to do this after Courage was killed, but you have persuaded me otherwise. You, Knowledge, will be my second victim."
Viromon flew at Izzy at a surprisingly fast pace. Izzy barely made it out of the way before Viromon swooped for the spot he had been standing in.
"Why don't you just stay still and make it easy on yourself?" Viromon stated as he took another dive at Izzy. Again, he missed, but only by millimeters.
Mimi watched the scene fearfully and with a sense of admiration. She hadn't thought Izzy would ever do something that crazy. I could never do something like that...
She was quickly jarred out of her ponderings when she noticed Izzy was cornered. She watched in horror as he realized he was trapped, that he was boxed into a corner like the mouse in a cruel game of cat and mouse. She watched Viromon smugly extend his hand. Slowly. Arrogantly.
Before she could stop herself, she shouted: "No, don't hurt him!"
Again, Viromon was surprised enough to stop his attack. For a moment, he searched for his new opposer.
"So you are foolish as well, I see," Viromon muttered. "Then I shall finish you along with him."
He turned back to Izzy and raised his hand, once again slowly and smugly. Finally, his fingers ever so lightly brushed Izzy's forehead.
Izzy shuddered, then fainted.
"What did you do to him?!?" Kari cried.
"Nothing worse than I will do to you," Viromon laughed.
The already dark night sky suddenly went pitch black. It was as though someone had flicked the light switch from dim to off. Before there had been star and moon light. Now there was absolutely nothing. The stars and moon just...vanished.
"What's happening?" Joe wondered, looking around in bewilderment.
Just as unexpectedly as the now extinguished light, the alarming voice of Sheranamon boomed: "What exactly do you think you are doing, Viromon?"
"N-n-nothing, Sheranamon," Viromon whimpered, suddenly very, very meek.
"What is going on?" TK whispered to Matt.
Matt resisted the urge to laugh and whispered back: "looks like somebody's in trouble."
"You didn't do your job, you worthless excuse for a virus Digimon," Sheranamon's voice bellowed.
"B-b-b-but I was g-g-going t-t-to," Viromon feebly argued.
"And you DELIBERATELY disobeyed my orders!" the voice continued. "I SPECIFICALLY told you to kill Courage and Courage ONLY!"
"I wasn't doing anything! Really!" Viromon pleaded, edging nervously in front of Izzy.
The darkness quickly floated inwards toward Viromon, allowing moonlight and starlight to shine once again.
Viromon screamed in agony and shrieked: "No, I wasn't doing anything!!!"
Sheranamon's voice screamed back: "You disobeyed me and you are dying! I warned you not to cross me!"
"Nooo, if you delete me my work will be destroyed!" Viromon screamed as he began dissolving.
The six conscious Digidestined watched wide-eyed in amazement as Viromon screamed: "NOOOOOOOO" then swiftly exploded into Digidust, which soon disappeared.
"I think Sheranamon has a bit of a temper problem," Mimi muttered.
"Forget Sheranamon, Izzy's waking up!" Matt replied.
Mimi glanced over at Izzy as he sat up and shook his head.
"Are you all right?" Joe asked. "Why did you do that? You could have been killed!"
"I'm fine. What did I miss? Where's Viromon?" Izzy answered.
"Let's just say that Sheranamon should be taking anger management classes," Matt explained.
Izzy looked confused and quarried: "What is that supposed to mean?"
"We'll explain later," Mimi established. "Why did you go after Viromon like that?"
Izzy thought for a moment, then recalled: "I remember listening to Viromon's chant very intently. When Sora alerted us about Tai's deletion, it all snapped into place. If Viromon was allowed to finish his chant, Tai would have been fully deleted."
Sora's face suddenly went very white and she gasped: "oh, no! I forgot about Tai!"
Just as she was turning to rush back to where Tai had been laying, a familiar voice said: "what are you talking about, Sora? What do you mean you forgot about me?"
"Tai! You're all right!" everyone else exclaimed.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Tai wondered.
"You mean you don't remember any of it?" Mimi questioned, unbelieving.
"Any of what?" Tai responded.
"Viromon and you being sick and-" TK started.
"Me being sick? Viromon? What are you talking about?" Tai broke in.
"It's a long story," Joe replied.
"Well are you going to tell me what this is all about or not?" Tai demanded.
The other Digidestined settled down to inform Tai about what had happened...
~*~
Sheranamon threw her crystal ball through the realm between dreams angrily.
That's right; celebrate your "victory," she furiously thought. I see now where I went wrong. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself...
THE END
(A/N: Well, there it is, the complete works of "Sickness." Hope you all enjoyed it. I will write one final book with Sheranamon in it (yup, you guessed it, one last sequel) and it'll be called: "Hope and Light Burning Bright.")
