DM: Digital Mutants: Part 5
[A/N: OK, here's the next part. You guys are probably really angry at me for doing all this.]
[Disclaimer: I don't own this stuff, you know.]
It was the next day. Shinji wouldn't speak a word about her brother, Kusanagi, to anyone.
"Why won't you tell us anything?" Tai asked. "Do I have to spell it out for you?" Shinji asked, "There is no way I'm going to talk about him." She wouldn't even call him by his first name. "So what ARE we going to do?" Izzy asked. "Whatever it is, we're going to stop him." Shinji answered. "But what is he going to do in the meantime?" TK asked. "Most likely the one thing we don't want him to do." Shinji sighed.
Off in New York…
Kusanagi sighed. "Gods, this place is boring." he snarled. People were rioting against the teen, knowing what he had done by then. They were throwing punches, kicks, and anything that wasn't nailed to the street. Kusanagi was dodging, knocking the people away and crushing a few of their skulls. Once the riot had been 'taken care of', the majority of them killed, Kusanagi was bored once more. "You know," he muttered, "a trip to that place Shinji was thinking about might be fun…" He waved his hand and a rip between dimensions appeared. He leapt through and the rip repaired itself.
It was only about an hour later. It was noon. "Something's wrong." Tai thought silently, "I've never seen Shinji so quiet." Shinji was standing at a window, staring out into the cloudy sky. "He's close." Shinji thought silently, "He's very close." Suddenly, a blue and green rip appeared in the sky, just above the lawn. "He's here!" Shinji thought. "HE'S HERE!" she yelled, her cry resounding throughout the school. Shinji disappeared and reappeared on the lawn of the school. Kusanagi appeared out of the rip just as everyone else ran onto the lawn.
"Where have you been?" Kusanagi asked with the air of someone coming back from vacation, "I just took a great trip to that place that you were thinking about, Shinji!" "What the hell were you doing?" Shinji asked. "Oh you know, been on a nice rampage." Kusanagi laughed. "Shut up!" Shinji shouted. "Oh, you know that old man?" Kusanagi asked. He started to pace around the group. "What about Gennai?" Kari asked. "Oh, I uh, killed him." Kusanagi chuckled.
"YOU DID WHAT?!" Shinji screamed. Kusanagi leveled his finger, pointing it at Cyclops. A thin beam of energy shot from his fingertip and went straight through his heart, killing Cyclops instantly. The X-Men leader hit the ground. "Scott!" Jean shouted. "ALL OF YOU!" Kusanagi yelled. He lifted his hand, and shot out a huge beam of energy. The X-Men disappeared in the beam. The Digi-destined stared at the spot where the X-Men had been. Shinji whipped back to her brother. "That's IT!" she yelled, "You've killed enough people!" "Have I now?" Kusanagi asked sardonically, "And why do you think that?"
"You've killed Gennai, you've killed the X-Men, and you've killed more other people than I can count!" Izzy shouted, speaking up for once, "We've ALL had enough!" Each of the Digi-destined was scowling at Kusanagi. Without warning, Izzy raised his hand and shot beams of red energy from his fingertips. Kusanagi jumped, a few beams cutting his skin. The teen ran his fingers over a cut on his face and looked at the blood coating his fingers.
"You're first on my list." he growled at Izzy. Izzy scoffed. "VERY unlikely." he snapped. Kusanagi raised his hand, but Mimi pulled her hands forwards faster. A gust of wind centered on Kusanagi and knocked him over. "WHY YOU!" Kusanagi yelled. Suddenly, a blast of water slammed into Kusanagi's stomach, forcing the air from his lungs. Tai, Matt, and Joe had teamed up in an amazing force. Using Matt's ice power, he created a large ball of ice, which Tai melted with his fire power, and since Joe had control over water, he focused the water into a high-pressure beam!
Kusanagi gasped for breath. "You see now, brother?" Shinji asked, "What I said is true. You can't defeat us!" "We'll see." Kusanagi growled. Shinji snarled and slammed her foot into his stomach. "O-one last wager, brat!" Kusanagi groaned. "Well, let's hear it then." Joe ordered. "A race." Kusanagi replied, standing back up, "Between my sister and I." "Fine with me." Shinji agreed, "But whatever help my friends want to give, that's fine." Kusanagi grinned, "Fine. I'll kill them anyway."
"Where are you going to race?" Kari asked. "The Digital World." Kusanagi replied, "From the highest point on Server, to the top of Infinity Mountain." He flicked his hand and a dimensional rip appeared. He jumped through, everyone following.
When the Digiworld appeared, only Shinji and Kusanagi were at the highest point on Server. "And where would your friends be?" Kusanagi asked. "Nowhere that you need to know about." Shinji growled, "Now, whoever gets to Infinity Mountain first, or whoever is still alive, wins the race, and the loser has to leave them and their plans alone for the rest of eternity." "Nice one." Kusanagi chuckled. The both of them snapped out their wings and stood ready. "On your mark, get set…" Kusanagi grinned. He leapt from the ground, flying fast. "Go." Shinji growled. She leapt off the ground and flew about as fast as her brother.
The two had been flying for only a short time when they came across Izzy. Kusanagi didn't see him and gasped when the energy shot at him. Many blasts hit his body, but only a few hit his wings. "Good job!" Shinji's voice said in Izzy's head. Izzy flashed the victory sign. Kusanagi pulled his arm back, but Izzy disappeared before he could do anything. "C'mon, you moron!" Shinji laughed. Kusanagi snarled and flew faster.
A few minutes later, Tai, Matt, and Sora were standing on the ground up ahead. Tai held up his hands and shot up a huge wall of fire. Matt held up his hands and shot ice at the fire. It froze the fire on contact, making a wall reaching up a few miles and about twenty feet thick. Shinji dove down and grabbed Sora by the back of her shirt. The two flew at the wall of ice and went straight through it. Sora had used her power of passing through solid objects at will to get the both of them through the ice. Shinji let Sora go back on the ground and flew ahead.
Kusanagi had blasted a hole through the ice and was about to fly through, when the wall burst back into flames. Tai laughed and let Kusanagi pass. The teen was about to blast Tai, when he, Matt, and Sora disappeared. Kusanagi swore loudly and flew as fast as he could.
Kusanagi had almost caught up to Shinji, when Mimi and Joe appeared. Mimi raised up her hands and rain started to fall hard. Joe held up his hands, but Kusanagi couldn't see what had been going on. Joe was using his power over water to keep the rain from hitting Shinji, and keeping her view clear. He lowered one hand and fired a burst of water at Kusanagi, making him fall back. Kusanagi yelled out in anger and the rain stopped. He had knocked Mimi out. Joe ran to Mimi and knelt down, picking her up slightly.
Kusanagi laughed, and stopped when an invisible force slammed into him. He looked up to see Shinji, turned towards him and her hand out. She smirked and flew ahead. Joe and Mimi disappeared as well.
Kusanagi had just about had enough when Infinity Mountain came into view. Shinji was just up ahead. "DIE BRAT!" Kusanagi shouted, throwing both his hands forwards. An invisible blast slammed into Shinji with the force of a semi, and she fell from the sky. She somehow made it to Infinity Mountain's peak before collapsing. Kusanagi landed to see that the other Digi-destined had been transported to the peak.
"I won." he laughed, "NOW YOU ALL DIE!" He raised up his hands and was about to use an attack, when a large beam of red shot into his arms. Kusanagi looked up to see TK, his hand still up to his face. "You little brat!" he snapped. He started at TK, when Matt jumped in front of his brother. "BACK OFF!" he yelled. Ice shot from his hands and froze parts of Kusanagi's body.
Kari was looking Shinji over. Her eyes had become dull, like they had been when Shinji had been trapped in the Cave of Despair (A/N: See my other fics, and review 'em!). She had slipped into shock from the attack.
Kusanagi was fending off the attacks because they came one at a time now. The Digi-destined were getting tired. "Why aren't we attacking all at once?" TK asked. Everyone, including Kusanagi, face-vaulted. With that new idea in mind, the Digi-destined attacked hard and at once. The evil teen was able to dodge the attacks for a while, but was losing strength. "FULL STRENGTH!!" Tai cried. Using the full extent, and last remaining amount of their power, the Digi-destined attacked one last time. With a scream, Kusanagi disappeared in a thick cloud of energy.
"No way!" Joe breathed. His stunned expression turned extremely happy. "WE DID IT!!" Mimi yelled, hugging Joe tight. Everyone started to cheer. "Amazing!" Myotismon thought, "They just defeated probably the most powerful enemy of all, without our help!" He turned to Shinji. Kari was smiling too. She had figured out a few seconds ago how to transfer her power to Shinji momentarily. "That jerk REALLY knows how to hit." Shinji muttered, sitting up and rubbing her head. Myotismon laughed and walked towards his partner.
Suddenly…
"KAISER WAVE!!!!"
Rage-filled and dripping with hate, Kusanagi's voice broke the celebration. Everyone looked up at the cloud of energy, only to see their own energy being thrown away, and a huge wave of blood red energy shooting at them. With a huge explosion, the Digi-destined were blown back. TK and Kari, being small, were blown off the edge of Infinity Mountain. Joe flicked up two fingers quickly and dual water jets shot from the ground. The high-pressure water stopped TK and Kari from slamming into the ground. Joe lowered his fingers slowly and the water abated.
After the Digi-destined stood back up, they looked over to where Kusanagi had been standing. The energy had been turned to a cloud of smoke, and was slowly being pushed away by something. Floating about a foot off the ground, surrounding in a waving blood red shield of energy, was Kusanagi.
"YOU BASTARD!" Tai screamed, hurling a ball of fire at Kusanagi. It bounced harmlessly away. "YEAH!" TK yelled, "YOU BA-" "TK!!" Matt cried. He fired a small amount of ice at TK's mouth, silencing him. Kusanagi smirked and chuckled, slightly amused. "How did you survive that?" Shinji asked, scowling.
"I'm stronger than all of you." Kusanagi replied, "There's no way that tiny attack would have worked!" "Yeah right!" Matt yelled. He shot ice shards from his hand, but Kusanagi raised his hand and the ice melted.
"You just don't get it!" he yelled, "YOU CAN'T BEAT ME! I CAN NOT BE BEATEN!" "We WILL BEAT YOU!" Sora shouted angrily. Kusanagi shouted, his cry echoing, and thrust his hands forwards. "BLITZ BALL!" he yelled.
Multi-colored energy shot from his hands in a ball, and slammed into Sora. It threw her over the edge of Infinity Mountain. "SORA!" Izzy cried, rushing towards the edge. Kusanagi yelled, "BLITZ BALL!" again and the energy hit the ground. Izzy was thrown over the edge, screaming in pain. Everyone ran to the edge of the mountain, looking over. Izzy and Sora were sliding down the mountain's side, unconscious.
Kusanagi laughed like a psycho. "KUSANAGI!" Shinji yelled, running towards her brother. She stopped a few feet away. "How the hell can you live the way you do?!" she yelled, "It's completely insane! How can you kill and injure so many people without any feeling?!" "I don't care about anyone else except myself!" Kusanagi shot back. "Well that's a little obvious, isn't it?!" Mimi shouted. "BLITZ BALL!!!!" Kusanagi roared. The explosion threw all the Digi-destined except Shinji off of Infinity Mountain.
"Now your little friends can't help you." he snarled. Shinji concentrated hard, but nothing happened. "What the- I can't get anyone back up here." she thought. "Of course you can't!" Kusanagi snapped, "I've blocked all of your telepathic and psychic powers, so you can't reach your friends!" "That's not fair, Kusanagi!" Shinji yelled. "I'VE NEVER PLAYED FAIR!" Kusanagi shouted.
The ground began to shake, moving under unknown power. Kusanagi was growling, his normal eye glowing a bright red. His trench coat was glowing brightly as well.
Kusanagi chuckled, his voice deeper and echoing slightly. "I can hardly believe those idiot parents of ours almost named you Kamui." he laughed. "Why did they want to name me Kamui?" Shinji asked. "You fool!" Kusanagi scolded, "They were mutants as well! They were strong, and you were the strongest of all of us! Kamui means the authority of God. They wanted to name you Kamui because you have that kind of power. But I will still win!" Shinji was seething. "And one other thing." Kusanagi murmured.
"You see, when they wrote the letter to you, saying that something resembling a deranged clown killed them, they were wrong." he explained, "I was the one that killed our parents, not Piedmon." "What?" Shinji asked. "I killed our parents, stupid." Kusanagi replied, "What more explanation do you need?"
Shinji was almost too stunned to move. With another rumbling, small chunks of rock sprang up from the ground and blew into smaller shards. Kusanagi was growing larger.
Down below at the bottom of Infinity Mountain, the Digi-destined had revived Izzy and Sora, and were just fine. "What's that rumbling?" TK asked. Kari looked up at Infinity Mountain's peak, gasped, and said, "Look up there!" The group looked up to see Shinji being blown back, and Kusanagi the size of Devimon when they fought him.
"SHINJI!" Myotismon yelled. He jumped into the air and caught Shinji. "Shinji, are you all right?" he asked. "Hardly…" Shinji groaned before passing out. Myotismon looked up at Kusanagi, who was even larger than Devimon during that battle. "We can't win." he thought silently.
[A/N: There will be a final battle to decide who wins the fate of both worlds. Of course, no gives a dang, right?]
