Devimon grinned as he saw Garudramon and Mega Kabuterrimon smash into the street far below, tangled up in each other's arms and legs. Most of the digi-destined had dived for cover before the two titans had hit the ground.
"Pitiful." smirked Devimon as he cupped his bony hands in front of him. A black orb began to form as Devimon gathered energy. " You should not have challenged me, for I am now far more powerful than your pathetic little band of Digimon, now feel true power!" Devimon thrust his open palms forward and launched a thick beam of dark energy down onto the fallen Garudramon and Mega Kabuterrimon! The beam connected with a loud boom that shook the streets of Viridian city! When the dust settled, a very battered Garudramon and Mega Kabuterrimon lay motionless. A few moments later they de-digivolved down into Yokomon and Motimon.
" Yokomon!" cried Sora as she ran over to her fallen comrade. Izzy picked up the battered Motimon. " Are you ok?" asked Izzy.
" I've...been better." moaned the beaten digimon.
" And now to finish you off!" cried Devimon as he began to charge up for another attack. Just as Devimon prepared to strike, a beam of green light smacked into his back and caused him to lose the energy! "..You dare!" growled Devimon as he turned to see Lillymon filtering above him, her flower cannon still smoking. " For that you will be the next to feel the touch of darkness!" Without warning Devimon leapt up at Lillymon and caught her of guard! She had managed to fire another blast at Devimon but before she could aim, Devimon grabbed the barrel and knocked it upward sending the shot into the sky! Devimon grasped Lillymon's arms and flung her over his shoulder, right on to a nearby rooftop! Lillymon landed on her shoulder and awkwardly rolled into a crouch.
" Lillymon!" cried Mimi.
" Quickly, go help her!" cried Matt to Were-Garurumon.
" You go too!" said Tai to Metal Greymon. The large Metallic dinosaur lumbered into the fray as Were Garurumon leapt up onto the building!
" Foolish flower, did you actually think that you could stand a chance against me?" taunted Devimon as he hovered down to the rooftop.
" Not alone." said Lillymon as she hopped to her dainty feet. "I've got my friends to help!" Lillymon winked, and almost as if on cue Were-Gururumon and Metal Greymon landed on the roof behind Devimon, one gracefully and one not so gracefully.
" Your finished!" snarled Were Garurumon.
" Three against one? not good odds.... for you!" said Devimon with a chuckle.
" That's it, he's going down!" roared Metal Greymon as he charged forward, tearing great chunks out of the roof top in his wake! Devimon calmly stood his ground awaiting the giant freight train bearing down on him. Metal Greymon opened his tooth filled jaw wide open as he lunged forward at Devimon! As quick as the lightning that flashed in the sky, Devimon grasped Metal Greymon's upper and lower Jaws and held him back! The force still pushed Devimon backward, his feet leaving deep grooves in the cement! Devimon gritted his teeth as he wrestled the giant Digimon's jaw and struggled to push back the gaping jaws that could swallow him whole! Devimon leapt backward in time to avoid being caught between the two deadly rows of sharp teeth, using this sudden gap in the battle Devimon fired a quick blast of dark energy right into the side of Metal Greymon's head, stunning the beast! There was a blue blur of motion to Devimon's right as Were Garurumon flew towards him, his clawed foot ready to deliver a devastating drop kick to Devimon's head! Devimon's long arm snatched the Were-wolf by his out stretched leg and swung him over his head, smack into the ground! The assault didn't end at this, with a motion faster than the human eye could see Devimon viciously twisted Were-Garurumon's leg to one side! Were-Garurumon howled in pain as he clutched at his broken leg!
"That's got to hurt!" cackeled Devimon as he let go of Were-Garurumon's limp leg.
" Flower Cannon!" cried Lillymon as she aimed at Devimon. This time Devimon was ready, and blocked the blast with his open palm. Devimon narrowed his red eyes into slits as he lowered his smoking hand.
" Still fighting? well it won't be for much longer!" snarled Devimon as his arms extended out towards Lillymon! Lillymon dashed forward, between Devimon's hands and flew straight at Devimon balling up her fist as she did! With a vicious swing, she landed a firm punch right into Devimon's pointed chin! With amazing speed she landed 3 more punches and followed up with a flashy knee to chin! Devimon straightened out his head and grinned back at her.
"Huh!" squeaked Lillymon in shock, Devimon seemed unfazed by her combo.
" So the little weed has a nasty spark?" chortled Devimon. By now, his arms were back to there normal size, and they seized Lillymon by her upper arms! " It will take more than a little courage to defeat me!" hissed Devimon, his pale face pressed close to hers. There was a flash of energy and Lillymon flew limply away from Devimon! She landed in a heap a few feet away, battered and bruised. "My power is far greater than any of you can ever imagine." said Devimon with a wicked grin. Devimon turned away from the defeated Lillymon. " It seems that all that you have left to defend your self are a measly ultimate, and a battered Lizard." Devimon shook his head in disgust. " I really did expect more of a fight than this."
" Just try to take me out" roared Zudomon. Devimon leapt into the air and hovered over Zudomon.
" Perhaps we should play a game of catch?" said Devimon evilly as he held his upturned hand in front of him. A black ball of electricity began to form in it. "Catch!" he cried as he flung the orb towards Zudomon!
" Zudomon! don't let it touch you!" warned Joe. The bulky Digimon stood no chance of diving out of the way of the attack, and so he was forced to raise his armored arms to try to defend himself! The ball of energy connected with a loud boom! When the dust settled Zudomon was still standing, although battered and bruised he still stood ready for more!
" You'll have to do better than that!" rumbled Zudomon as he raised his mighty hammer and hurled it at Devimon! Devimon dove to one side to avoid the hammer.
" Is that your best?" taunted Devimon.
" I was only providing a distraction." replied Zudomon.
" What-" but before Devimon could finish; two missiles sped at him from behind and connected with a tremendous explosion! Metal Greymon had dragged himself over to the edge of the rooftop and managed to blast Devimon with the last of his strength! Metal Greymon lowered down the battered Lillymon and Were-Garurumon down to the street, moments later he de-digivolved back into Koromon, followed by Tsunomon and Tanemon's De-digivolution. Meanwhile up in the air, the dust cloud had be-gun to settle, revealing Devimon, a shield of dark energy around him.
" That..will..cost you!" hissed Devimon through a clenched Jaw. Devimon began to crackle with power as he charged up another energy blast in his palms. " Lets just see you try to block this Digi-destined!" Devimon aimed not at Zudomon, but at the Digi-destined them selves!
" Look out!" cried Tai as he pulled Sora of to one side, everyone else followed suit! Zudomon threw himself over the digi-destined, using his body as a shield! The beam smashed into Zudomon's shell, rattling everybody's teeth! Devimon amplified the beam, and continued to blast the helpless Zudomon.
" I...can't...hold..out much...longer!" growled Zudomon as he held out against the lethal onslaught. There was a deafening explosion and the next thing that everybody knew was that they we're flying through the air! When the dust settled, Zudomon was back to Bukamon, and all of the digi-destined we're sprawled about the street. Devimon threw back his head and roared with laughter. Suddenly, the noise of helicopters filled the air. Several news and police helicopters had arrived on the scene. " Get a good look at your so called mighty defenders now!" cried Devimon to the hovering helicopters. A few moments later, he sent energy beams crashing into 3 of the helicopters! " Where are your heroes now?" scoffed Devimon. He watched with great relish as the three fireballs that once were helicopters fall to the streets below. Devimon landed amidst the chaos. "Now to finally exact my revenge! I think I'll start with the one that first defeated me all those months ago..." Devimon's eyes landed on T.k, Matt had taken most of the force from the shock wave. T.k opened his eyes; his ears still rang from the explosion.
" Matt wake up!" cried T.k as he shook his brother. Matt stirred slightly and rolled over. "T.k! are you alright?" asked Matt as he struggled to sit up.
" He wont be!" growled Devimon as he stalked towards his target!
" This is channel 4, action news, we are coming to you live from Downtown Viridian city..." said a reporter as the Helicopter swung over top the battle below. " Right now, the un-identified monster attacks have become more vicious!" The camera zoomed into a shaky shot of Devimon fighting Zudomon. " As of now, a group of monsters have destroyed a once quiet section of houses, most of the surrounding neighborhoods have already been evacuated and are being locked down by the police force!" A loud boom shook the chopper. " At this time we can see what appears to be a humanoid monster, possibly even a Pokemon, single handedly defeating several larger monsters with great ease!" The camera zoomed into Devimon laughing and turning to face the chopper. " One can only wonder that if other giant monsters cannot defeat it, do our police and military stand a chance?"
" ...This is Police dispatch to all airborne crafts, this is a restricted zone, all media crews are to pull out and vacate immediately...repeat..." buzzed the radio in the cockpit.
"Police helicopters are now entering the area and are-"
" Hey look out it's-" started the pilot as a flash blinded out the camera! Seconds later, the news report turned into static. Everybody in the Poke center had been watching the broadcast.
" I can't stand it anymore!" cried Ash as he ran towards the door.
" Ash, what are you doing?" Brock called out to Ash as he ran through the doorway.
" I can't just sit by and watch all this happen, there in trouble and need our help!" Misty and Brock followed.
Gary sighed. " Well I'm not going to let Ash one up me on this one." Gary pursued.
" This is just terrible..." moaned Nurse joy as she turned back from trying to stop Ash and the gang from leaving, the T.v screen had now been replaced by a stand by screen. The whole city was falling apart around her. Ash tore down the abandon street with Misty, Brock and Gary close behind. Suddenly, as Ash rounded a corner, he came face to face with a Military barricade.
" What are you kids still doing out on the streets?" barked an Soldier in green camos. " Don't you know that the monsters are only a few blocks away?"
" Well uh..." started Ash.
" You kids get out of here, any minute now fighting's going to start!" Just then, three Army helicopters flew overhead, blowing papers and loose garbage around. An A.P.C rumbled by followed close behind be a garrison of armed soldiers.
" Ash," whispered Brock. " We'll have to sneak around the side." Ash nodded in reply.
"And so destiny has arrived." said Devimon with a grin as he calmly walked through small fires that burned in his path. " I think I'll start with the one that has caused me the most grief." said Devimon as his eyes rested on T.k!
" T.k, run for it!" cried Matt as he pushed his brother away from him. " Go on, Get out of here!" Faster than the eye could see, Devimon's arm shot out and grabbed T.k roughly!
" Matt Help!" wailed T.k as he was hefted off the ground!
" I have waited a long time for this!" hissed Devimon as he started to pull T.k towards him! There was a streak of light that arced down between T.k and Devimon. Devimon wore a look of surprise on his face, a few moments later, T.k dropped to the ground...along with Devimon's upper arm! T.k shook the arm off with a cry and crawled backwards, away from the claw! Devimon roared with pain as he clutched at the severed stump of his right arm! " Who dares?" Devimon hissed with rage, his voice sounding like hot steel plunged into water. His eyes finally rested on his assailant.
" Kagemon!" cried Matt as he struggled to sit up.
" And not a moment to soon!" said Izzy as he crawled over to where Matt and T.k were.
" So, the Digi-destined spared your life? well I shouldn't have sent a weakling such as you to do the job." said Devimon as shook his head. " Well don't expect me to be as merciful!"
" Devimon, for your actions against me, this once peaceful world and the Digi-destined, you cannot be allowed another chance to cause more pain and suffering to anymore lives!" Kagemon raised his sword. " Tonight your evil rule will be broken forever!"
" Big talk from small time mercenary." smirked Devimon. Devimon held out the bloodless stump of his arm, small tendrils of flesh began to wiggle out of it! Soon enough the strands knotted around each other to re-form his arm completely! " Enough talk, lets see if you can back up your words!" At that challenge, Kagemon leapt at Devimon, his sword aimed at Devimon's heart! With a calm swipe, Devimon knocked Kagemon out of the air! " Is that your best?"
" I'm only getting warmed up!" snarled Kagemon as he planted a nasty kick to Devimon's mid-section! Devimon leapt up into the air and perched on a rooftop. " Running already?" said Kagemon as he followed his enemy onto the rooftop, and away from the Digi-destined. " Go get out of here now!" called Kagemon as he jumped over the lip of the rooftop.
"But-" started Izzy.
" Just go! , you are the only ones who can defeat Devimon!" Kagemon looked back to the Digi-destined.
" But you don't stand a chance against Devimon, he's too strong!" cried Matt.
" My fate is un-important compared to that of both worlds! Don't let us all down, I can buy you some time to recover!" With that Kagemon pursued Devimon across the rooftop!
" Kagemon!" called Izzy to the Digimon that had saved him and the other Digi-destined only a few hours ago. " Come back!"
" He's gone, he's doing a very brave thing to try and help us." said Matt as he tried to stand." Lets not let his sacrifice go to waste." Izzy stood there for a second or two.
"Your right..." started Izzy. " Matt, can you stand?" asked Izzy as he helped Matt up.
" Yeah I'm fine, lets go check on the others."
"Yeah..." said Izzy quietly.
Tai managed to pull himself onto his knees. " Is everyone ok?" he asked as he glanced about the ragged group.
" My dress...my only dress..." moaned Mimi as he stared at a rip on her skirt.
" I'm fine, don't worry about me!" grumbled Joe as he picked up his glasses, which were amazingly un-broken. Everybody else seemed to be ok, minus the digimon. They had taken the beating of their lives against Devimon!
"Koromon, are you all right?" asked Tai in a shaky voice as he picked up the pink little head.
" I have a headache..." moaned Koromon.
" Tai, we have to let them rest if we even stand a chance at defeating Devimon, Kagemon may have bought us some time but I don't know how long he can withstand him!" said Matt as he, Izzy and T.k walked over to their leader, both holding their Digimon.
"Lets get into that building, we can hide out there for a little bit" said Sora as she pointed to the Lobby of the very same building that Devimon was hiding in before.
" Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the same building that Devimon was just hiding out in?" pointed out Joe.
" Do we have a choice?" Sora said as she looked around the street. Most buildings we're smashed and falling apart after the sarcastically. The group wearily hefted their beaten Digimon and entered the darkened lobby.
" Good point..." replied Joe quietly once he took in the ruins of the street.
" Nightmare Claw!" cried Devimon as his clawed hand slashed at Kagemon! The agile Digimon
Sprung backward to avoid the descending claw! But as soon as he landed, Devimon's other hand fired an energy blast at the distracted Kagemon! The attack sent Kagemon flying backwards into an air conditioning unit, crumpling it under his weight! Kagemon extracted himself from the ruined air conditioner with a loud grunt.
" Getting tired already?" taunted Devimon as he flexed his claws in anticipation. Kagemon hopped up to his feet, and grabbed his sword. He flew at Devimon with a battle cry and slashed repeatedly at the Demonic Digimon! Devimon calmly dodged the attacks one after another, after a few seconds of this; he struck a glancing blow to Kagemon's temple! With a cry Kagemon staggered backward, am invitation that was to tempting for Devimon! With a wicked laugh Devimon punched Kagemon viciously in his previously wounded stomach! Kagemon cried out in pain as he sagged to his knees clutching at his wounded abdomen! Blue blood began to drip out again as old wounds were re-opened! " This is two easy! did you truly expect to save the Digi-destined?" said Devimon with a roar of laughter!
" I... will fight you to the bitter end Devimon!" hissed Kagemon as he tried to stand, even though it brought great rippling waves of pain to his stomach!
" Yes, it will be a bitter end! -" Laughed Devimon as he grabbed Kagemon by the head in his large bony hand! "- For you of course!" Devimon backhanded Kagemon with his free hand! Devimon drew his hand back again, and struck even harder than before! A small trickle of blue blood dribbled out of Kagemon's mouth. " Your already defeated!" sneered Devimon as he shook Kagemon. His arms hung limply at his sides, Kagemon was barely conscience! " And now to finish this fight once and for all!" cried Devimon as he held up Kagemon's limp form. Devimon narrowed his fingers on his right hand, until the claws all touched, like a crude spike. " You lose." hissed Devimon as he drew his clawed hand back. With a sickening crunch, Devimon shot his hand forward; right into Kagemon's chest clean through! Kagemon. Eyes clenched shut as a weak gasp escaped his lips. His form slackened where it hung impaled off of Devimon's arm! Devimon withdrew his right arm in one smooth motion. " You we're just one more obstacle that stood in my path for domination!" Devimon tossed Kagemon's lifeless body aside as he shook his arm to try and remove some off the thick blue blood from it. " Hear me Digi-destined, My time has come, for now you have no protectors!" Lightning crackled behind Devimon as if to accent Devimon's oath.
T.k patted Patamon reassuringly as he sat in the quiet Darkness of the office buildings lobby. " Don't worry Patamon, we beat Devimon before, and we can do it again! I even heard Matt say so!" said T.k reassuringly
To his small Digi-partner. Matt looked away from T.k. He had overheard his conversation with Patamon. The battle wasn't looking real good right now, most of the Digimon had passed out from sheer lack of energy, and Devimon was on the warpath! He didn't want to let the worst happen to T.k. So far this whole " Fate" thing seemed like a dead end. Everybody sat huddled in the darkened lobby. Most of the building was still being built so lots of supplies we're still laying around.
" Hey!" said Mimi suddenly. " Can anybody else hear that?"
" Hear what?" said Joe as he cocked his head to listen.
" That thumping noise!" cried Mimi as she strained her ears to listen.
" Hey, I hear it too!"" piped T.k as he hopped down from the bench he was sitting on.
" It sounds like..."
" Helicopters!" cried Izzy as he pointed out one of the still intact picture windows. Three red taillights could be seen flying towards them.
" They headed straight for Devimon! he'll just destroy them like the others!" cried Mimi as she clutched her hands to her mouth.
" I don't think these are news crews, something looks different about them..." Izzy trailed off as he studied the approaching aircraft. Tai pulled out his telescope and studied the Helicopters.
" Those are military Helicopters! They must have called the Army!" cried Tai. " We have to get out of here, the could start firing any minute!"
" And we can't let them see the Digimon, they'd just think they were more monsters!" added Sora.
Meanwhile, just outside the building...
Devimon looked at Kagemon's lifeless body, still gloating over his victory. Suddenly the sounds of the approaching helicopters drew his attention. Three green military helicopters were approaching, and fast.
" More pitiful resistance from these humans." smirked Devimon as he rose into the air to meet his next opponents.
" Command, this is Delta one, we are approaching the target sector," stated one of the helicopter pilots. The green HUD display glowed in the dark cockpit as telltale sensors directed the pilot to his target.
" Do you have a visual?" replied the captain from the radio. The pilot strained his eyes in the darkness. He could make out the ruined buildings and rubble. With a gust of wind, the dust blew aside to reveal Devimon! standing calmly on the lip of the building.
" Command, we have a visual contact, the target is on the center rooftop!" barked the pilot as his hands danced over the controls.
" What is it?" whispered the Co-pilot.
" I have no idea.," replied the Pilot.
" Delta one, the mission is seek and destroy, fire at will!" replied Command. All three helicopters opened fire with their underside cannons! Bullets riddled the rooftop, but bounced harmlessly off of Devimon's protective aura!
" Delta one, this is Delta three, we not even hitting him, tracking must be off!"
" Negative Delta three, sensors read fine!" replied Pilot 1. " Something must be-" The radio transmition was cut short when an energy attack from Devimon slammed into the Helicopter! The bright orange flames that blossomed from the explosion illuminated the rooftop. Devimon stood, one hand raised and still smoking.
" Was that all?" said Devimon as he flew towards the remaining Helicopters! With talons outstretched, Devimon stabbed at the second helicopter! His hands tearing through the metal like it was paper! A few seconds later the smoking Helicopter spiraled down to the streets! Sweat trickled down the fore head of the remaining pilots.
"...Delta two please respond, what is your current situation?" droned the voice on the radio, But the pilot could not respond! He was frozen with fear as he watched Devimon tear the other Helicopter from the skies. Now the grinning devil was starring at him! This jerked him back to reality as his fingers te4nsed across the yoke. A burst of machine gun fire danced harmlessly off of Devimon's bubble-like aura. A few seconds later the cannon ran dry, the pilot still held down the trigger in shock that his target was still standing. Devimon raised his hands and cupped them together.
" Let this be a reminder to all of humanity: I am far more superior to anyone!" screamed Devimon as dark energy crackled around his palms. With a thrust of his hands a beam of light shot out and engulfed the Helicopter! The sky lit up again as the final helicopter exploded!
The second helicopter smashed its way through the front doors of the lobby and plowed into the front desk! Flames leapt from the wreckage to fill the lobby with thick black smoke. A few seconds later the helicopter exploded again showering the room in shrapnel! But at this moment, the Digi-destined we're already half way up the long stairwell, away from the fire.
" Now we're trapped!" wailed Joe as he banged his head against the wall. " Trapped in a long dark stair case with an evil Digimon waiting for us outside!"
" Chill out Joe, we're not through yet!" said Tai as he pushed Joe back into motion. " There are only a few more steps." The stairs opened up to an empty floor of the building. Plastic tarps covered most of the windows, and boxes of supplies we're scattered around. Walls had not even been put up yet on this floor, giving the area a creepy echo.
" And now what?" said Matt with a snort. " Another dead end!" Matt walked out into the empty floor. " Now we can all sit out in the open and wait for Devimon to come to us!"
" Now come on, Genni told us that prophecy for a reason, It has to happen if we want to beat Devimon... weather we like it or not!" said Tai, his voice echoing quietly.
" We tell me who it is then oh great leader!" mocked Matt as he waved his arms.
" Hey knock it off you two!" snapped Sora. " I'm sick of playing ringmaster between you guys!"
" Well does anyone have a clue who this so-called chosen one is?" Matt looked around at his fellow companions. Izzy lowered his head and opened his mouth as if to speak. " And our leader still thinks that if we follow this fable we can beat Devimon with our already beaten Digimon!"
" Stop fighting!" cried Mimi.
" I'm not trying to get us all killed here but this prophecy is not going to come true!" Matt went flying forward when Tai shoved him.
" Listen you! We're here for a reason! We have a duty to protect both of our worlds!" snarled Tai. " Now your going to be a part of this team weather you like it or not!" Matt leapt up to his feet.
" Well than who do you think it is?" snarled Matt as he grabbed Tai by his shirt. Tai seemed at a loss for words. Tai grabbed Matt back.
" Well maybe its me!" he snapped.
"Oh there you go again, being all sacrificial!"
" Matt stop it!" cried T.k as he tugged at Matt's pant leg.
" Stay out of this T.k, this has gone on long enough!" snapped Matt as he shook his leg free. T.k backed away from Matt and Tai and went to sit against the wall with Patamon.
" Hey Patamon, look..." said T.k absently as his quiet voice was drowned out by the arguing.
" Alright!" cried Joe as he shoved the two boys apart. " Devimon's probably flying around up there looking for us and we're sitting down here arguing about who gets to die!"
" Well that means that who ever the person is, has to go up there and fight him alone, seeing as all of our Digimon are to tired even to stand I don't see how we're going to stand a chance!" cried Matt as he pointed to the sleeping pile of Digimon.
" Well if you all look up to me as your leader, then I'm going to go and settle this once and for all!" cried Tai as he turned to a small one-man elevator. The elevator was built for construction workers and no more than mesh walls and floor, with a chain link gate, it also was the only way up to the rest of the building.
" Tai don't!" cried Sora as he grabbed onto his arm. " You don't know if its you, don't go and get your self killed!" Sora begged as she looked into his eyes with those deep hazel eyes of hers.
" Well maybe it's me!" cried Matt as he turned away from Tai.
" Now lets all go at this logically," started Joe. " We can't just go crazy trying to figure out who it is!"
" Well then I think its me!" started Tai again. " I was chosen to be the leader, and I have to show courage!" Tai pulled out his crest for emphases. " This is something that the leader would do!"
" Well if you think it has something to do with the crests than maybe it's me!" said Matt. " After all I have the crest of friendship, and I'm doing this for my friends!"
" It could even be done for love of my friends," said Sora absently as he stared at her own crest.
" Now I'm sure we all have about a million reasons why our crests would seem like the answer!" said Joe.
" Well logic doesn't seem to be working now does it?" cried Matt as he spun around to face Joe.
" Matt please stop it!" cried T.k again as he leapt up to run over to his brother.
" T.k just go and sit down, this is something we have to work out!" snapped Matt.
" But Matt!" started T.k.
" Just do it!" Matt hissed as he pushed T.k back to the wall. He turned around back to the others.
"If logic had worked than wouldn't Izzy have figured it out by now? Wouldn't you?" Matt looked at Izzy.
" Well I..." started Izzy, but he just trailed off. Matt stopped yelling, "...Didn't you?" Izzy was silent. " Well?" snapped Matt.
" When I was at Genni's... I tried to translate part of the prophecy..."
" And what?" Asked Tai and Matt simultaneously.
" Well Tai... it's...." Izzy looked up.
" I knew it,..." said Tai as he started back towards the elevator.
" No, I meant to say, it isn't you!" cried Izzy. " It's..."
TO BE CONTINUED.......RIGHT NOW!!!!
( Ha! Just thought I'd make you all sweat! ^.^* )
" T.k!" interrupted Matt, as he turned away from the conversation to see T.k closing the door to the elevator. " What are you doing?"
" Matt you wouldn't listen to me! So I had to do it my self!" cried T.k.
" What do you mean?" cried Matt as he ran between Tai and Joe, over to try to open the door - but T.k had locked it. T.k held up his crest, the crest of hope sparkled with an ineer light! Matt's mind began to race. " T.k come out of there at once! This isn't funny!"
" Matt I'm sure that it's me! Matt you said this was something that had to be worked out, and I'm the solution, I just know it!"
" You can't be! Come out of there right now!" cried Matt.
" Matt, I know I'm the only one who can do this! I'm not a little kid anymore!" Tears trickled down T.k's face.
" T.k don't do this!" said Matt, a sob escaped from his lips. " There has to be another way!" Matt crouched down and tried to squeeze his hand between the links in the fence. T.k grabbed Matts hand.
" Matt , I have to prove it that I'm really helping us! I have to prove it to myself!"
" T.k thats silly! Don't say things like that!" Matt sobbed, all of his normally cool compostion was gone as he emptied his heart out infront of his friends. There was a rumble from some where on top of the building.
"He's here, Matt I have to do this please understand!" sobbed T.k as he squeezed Matt's hand. The elevator started with a bump and slowly began to ascend.
" T.k wait!" cried Matt as he was forced to stand up.
" Matt I'll miss you!" sobbed T.k as the elevator disapeared into the shaft. Matt slumped back to the ground. His friends could only watch the drama before them.
" He's gone...now I've lost every one" whispered Matt. Gabumon limped over to Matt and tried to comfort him. But Matt was beyond that, Matt was now an empty shell...
To be continued....
( Yeah I know, still more... )

Devimon grinned as he saw Garudramon and Mega Kabuterrimon smash into the street far below, tangled up in each other's arms and legs. Most of the digi-destined had dived for cover before the two titans had hit the ground.
"Pitiful." smirked Devimon as he cupped his bony hands in front of him. A black orb began to form as Devimon gathered energy. " You should not have challenged me, for I am now far more powerful than your pathetic little band of Digimon, now feel true power!" Devimon thrust his open palms forward and launched a thick beam of dark energy down onto the fallen Garudramon and Mega Kabuterrimon! The beam connected with a loud boom that shook the streets of Viridian city! When the dust settled, a very battered Garudramon and Mega Kabuterrimon lay motionless. A few moments later they de-digivolved down into Yokomon and Motimon.
" Yokomon!" cried Sora as she ran over to her fallen comrade. Izzy picked up the battered Motimon. " Are you ok?" asked Izzy.
" I've...been better." moaned the beaten digimon.
" And now to finish you off!" cried Devimon as he began to charge up for another attack. Just as Devimon prepared to strike, a beam of green light smacked into his back and caused him to lose the energy! "..You dare!" growled Devimon as he turned to see Lillymon filtering above him, her flower cannon still smoking. " For that you will be the next to feel the touch of darkness!" Without warning Devimon leapt up at Lillymon and caught her of guard! She had managed to fire another blast at Devimon but before she could aim, Devimon grabbed the barrel and knocked it upward sending the shot into the sky! Devimon grasped Lillymon's arms and flung her over his shoulder, right on to a nearby rooftop! Lillymon landed on her shoulder and awkwardly rolled into a crouch.
" Lillymon!" cried Mimi.
" Quickly, go help her!" cried Matt to Were-Garurumon.
" You go too!" said Tai to Metal Greymon. The large Metallic dinosaur lumbered into the fray as Were Garurumon leapt up onto the building!
" Foolish flower, did you actually think that you could stand a chance against me?" taunted Devimon as he hovered down to the rooftop.
" Not alone." said Lillymon as she hopped to her dainty feet. "I've got my friends to help!" Lillymon winked, and almost as if on cue Were-Gururumon and Metal Greymon landed on the roof behind Devimon, one gracefully and one not so gracefully.
" Your finished!" snarled Were Garurumon.
" Three against one? not good odds.... for you!" said Devimon with a chuckle.
" That's it, he's going down!" roared Metal Greymon as he charged forward, tearing great chunks out of the roof top in his wake! Devimon calmly stood his ground awaiting the giant freight train bearing down on him. Metal Greymon opened his tooth filled jaw wide open as he lunged forward at Devimon! As quick as the lightning that flashed in the sky, Devimon grasped Metal Greymon's upper and lower Jaws and held him back! The force still pushed Devimon backward, his feet leaving deep grooves in the cement! Devimon gritted his teeth as he wrestled the giant Digimon's jaw and struggled to push back the gaping jaws that could swallow him whole! Devimon leapt backward in time to avoid being caught between the two deadly rows of sharp teeth, using this sudden gap in the battle Devimon fired a quick blast of dark energy right into the side of Metal Greymon's head, stunning the beast! There was a blue blur of motion to Devimon's right as Were Garurumon flew towards him, his clawed foot ready to deliver a devastating drop kick to Devimon's head! Devimon's long arm snatched the Were-wolf by his out stretched leg and swung him over his head, smack into the ground! The assault didn't end at this, with a motion faster than the human eye could see Devimon viciously twisted Were-Garurumon's leg to one side! Were-Garurumon howled in pain as he clutched at his broken leg!
"That's got to hurt!" cackeled Devimon as he let go of Were-Garurumon's limp leg.
" Flower Cannon!" cried Lillymon as she aimed at Devimon. This time Devimon was ready, and blocked the blast with his open palm. Devimon narrowed his red eyes into slits as he lowered his smoking hand.
" Still fighting? well it won't be for much longer!" snarled Devimon as his arms extended out towards Lillymon! Lillymon dashed forward, between Devimon's hands and flew straight at Devimon balling up her fist as she did! With a vicious swing, she landed a firm punch right into Devimon's pointed chin! With amazing speed she landed 3 more punches and followed up with a flashy knee to chin! Devimon straightened out his head and grinned back at her.
"Huh!" squeaked Lillymon in shock, Devimon seemed unfazed by her combo.
" So the little weed has a nasty spark?" chortled Devimon. By now, his arms were back to there normal size, and they seized Lillymon by her upper arms! " It will take more than a little courage to defeat me!" hissed Devimon, his pale face pressed close to hers. There was a flash of energy and Lillymon flew limply away from Devimon! She landed in a heap a few feet away, battered and bruised. "My power is far greater than any of you can ever imagine." said Devimon with a wicked grin. Devimon turned away from the defeated Lillymon. " It seems that all that you have left to defend your self are a measly ultimate, and a battered Lizard." Devimon shook his head in disgust. " I really did expect more of a fight than this."
" Just try to take me out" roared Zudomon. Devimon leapt into the air and hovered over Zudomon.
" Perhaps we should play a game of catch?" said Devimon evilly as he held his upturned hand in front of him. A black ball of electricity began to form in it. "Catch!" he cried as he flung the orb towards Zudomon!
" Zudomon! don't let it touch you!" warned Joe. The bulky Digimon stood no chance of diving out of the way of the attack, and so he was forced to raise his armored arms to try to defend himself! The ball of energy connected with a loud boom! When the dust settled Zudomon was still standing, although battered and bruised he still stood ready for more!
" You'll have to do better than that!" rumbled Zudomon as he raised his mighty hammer and hurled it at Devimon! Devimon dove to one side to avoid the hammer.
" Is that your best?" taunted Devimon.
" I was only providing a distraction." replied Zudomon.
" What-" but before Devimon could finish; two missiles sped at him from behind and connected with a tremendous explosion! Metal Greymon had dragged himself over to the edge of the rooftop and managed to blast Devimon with the last of his strength! Metal Greymon lowered down the battered Lillymon and Were-Garurumon down to the street, moments later he de-digivolved back into Koromon, followed by Tsunomon and Tanemon's De-digivolution. Meanwhile up in the air, the dust cloud had be-gun to settle, revealing Devimon, a shield of dark energy around him.
" That..will..cost you!" hissed Devimon through a clenched Jaw. Devimon began to crackle with power as he charged up another energy blast in his palms. " Lets just see you try to block this Digi-destined!" Devimon aimed not at Zudomon, but at the Digi-destined them selves!
" Look out!" cried Tai as he pulled Sora of to one side, everyone else followed suit! Zudomon threw himself over the digi-destined, using his body as a shield! The beam smashed into Zudomon's shell, rattling everybody's teeth! Devimon amplified the beam, and continued to blast the helpless Zudomon.
" I...can't...hold..out much...longer!" growled Zudomon as he held out against the lethal onslaught. There was a deafening explosion and the next thing that everybody knew was that they we're flying through the air! When the dust settled, Zudomon was back to Bukamon, and all of the digi-destined we're sprawled about the street. Devimon threw back his head and roared with laughter. Suddenly, the noise of helicopters filled the air. Several news and police helicopters had arrived on the scene. " Get a good look at your so called mighty defenders now!" cried Devimon to the hovering helicopters. A few moments later, he sent energy beams crashing into 3 of the helicopters! " Where are your heroes now?" scoffed Devimon. He watched with great relish as the three fireballs that once were helicopters fall to the streets below. Devimon landed amidst the chaos. "Now to finally exact my revenge! I think I'll start with the one that first defeated me all those months ago..." Devimon's eyes landed on T.k, Matt had taken most of the force from the shock wave. T.k opened his eyes; his ears still rang from the explosion.
" Matt wake up!" cried T.k as he shook his brother. Matt stirred slightly and rolled over. "T.k! are you alright?" asked Matt as he struggled to sit up.
" He wont be!" growled Devimon as he stalked towards his target!
" This is channel 4, action news, we are coming to you live from Downtown Viridian city..." said a reporter as the Helicopter swung over top the battle below. " Right now, the un-identified monster attacks have become more vicious!" The camera zoomed into a shaky shot of Devimon fighting Zudomon. " As of now, a group of monsters have destroyed a once quiet section of houses, most of the surrounding neighborhoods have already been evacuated and are being locked down by the police force!" A loud boom shook the chopper. " At this time we can see what appears to be a humanoid monster, possibly even a Pokemon, single handedly defeating several larger monsters with great ease!" The camera zoomed into Devimon laughing and turning to face the chopper. " One can only wonder that if other giant monsters cannot defeat it, do our police and military stand a chance?"
" ...This is Police dispatch to all airborne crafts, this is a restricted zone, all media crews are to pull out and vacate immediately...repeat..." buzzed the radio in the cockpit.
"Police helicopters are now entering the area and are-"
" Hey look out it's-" started the pilot as a flash blinded out the camera! Seconds later, the news report turned into static. Everybody in the Poke center had been watching the broadcast.
" I can't stand it anymore!" cried Ash as he ran towards the door.
" Ash, what are you doing?" Brock called out to Ash as he ran through the doorway.
" I can't just sit by and watch all this happen, there in trouble and need our help!" Misty and Brock followed.
Gary sighed. " Well I'm not going to let Ash one up me on this one." Gary pursued.
" This is just terrible..." moaned Nurse joy as she turned back from trying to stop Ash and the gang from leaving, the T.v screen had now been replaced by a stand by screen. The whole city was falling apart around her. Ash tore down the abandon street with Misty, Brock and Gary close behind. Suddenly, as Ash rounded a corner, he came face to face with a Military barricade.
" What are you kids still doing out on the streets?" barked an Soldier in green camos. " Don't you know that the monsters are only a few blocks away?"
" Well uh..." started Ash.
" You kids get out of here, any minute now fighting's going to start!" Just then, three Army helicopters flew overhead, blowing papers and loose garbage around. An A.P.C rumbled by followed close behind be a garrison of armed soldiers.
" Ash," whispered Brock. " We'll have to sneak around the side." Ash nodded in reply.
"And so destiny has arrived." said Devimon with a grin as he calmly walked through small fires that burned in his path. " I think I'll start with the one that has caused me the most grief." said Devimon as his eyes rested on T.k!
" T.k, run for it!" cried Matt as he pushed his brother away from him. " Go on, Get out of here!" Faster than the eye could see, Devimon's arm shot out and grabbed T.k roughly!
" Matt Help!" wailed T.k as he was hefted off the ground!
" I have waited a long time for this!" hissed Devimon as he started to pull T.k towards him! There was a streak of light that arced down between T.k and Devimon. Devimon wore a look of surprise on his face, a few moments later, T.k dropped to the ground...along with Devimon's upper arm! T.k shook the arm off with a cry and crawled backwards, away from the claw! Devimon roared with pain as he clutched at the severed stump of his right arm! " Who dares?" Devimon hissed with rage, his voice sounding like hot steel plunged into water. His eyes finally rested on his assailant.
" Kagemon!" cried Matt as he struggled to sit up.
" And not a moment to soon!" said Izzy as he crawled over to where Matt and T.k were.
" So, the Digi-destined spared your life? well I shouldn't have sent a weakling such as you to do the job." said Devimon as shook his head. " Well don't expect me to be as merciful!"
" Devimon, for your actions against me, this once peaceful world and the Digi-destined, you cannot be allowed another chance to cause more pain and suffering to anymore lives!" Kagemon raised his sword. " Tonight your evil rule will be broken forever!"
" Big talk from small time mercenary." smirked Devimon. Devimon held out the bloodless stump of his arm, small tendrils of flesh began to wiggle out of it! Soon enough the strands knotted around each other to re-form his arm completely! " Enough talk, lets see if you can back up your words!" At that challenge, Kagemon leapt at Devimon, his sword aimed at Devimon's heart! With a calm swipe, Devimon knocked Kagemon out of the air! " Is that your best?"
" I'm only getting warmed up!" snarled Kagemon as he planted a nasty kick to Devimon's mid-section! Devimon leapt up into the air and perched on a rooftop. " Running already?" said Kagemon as he followed his enemy onto the rooftop, and away from the Digi-destined. " Go get out of here now!" called Kagemon as he jumped over the lip of the rooftop.
"But-" started Izzy.
" Just go! , you are the only ones who can defeat Devimon!" Kagemon looked back to the Digi-destined.
" But you don't stand a chance against Devimon, he's too strong!" cried Matt.
" My fate is un-important compared to that of both worlds! Don't let us all down, I can buy you some time to recover!" With that Kagemon pursued Devimon across the rooftop!
" Kagemon!" called Izzy to the Digimon that had saved him and the other Digi-destined only a few hours ago. " Come back!"
" He's gone, he's doing a very brave thing to try and help us." said Matt as he tried to stand." Lets not let his sacrifice go to waste." Izzy stood there for a second or two.
"Your right..." started Izzy. " Matt, can you stand?" asked Izzy as he helped Matt up.
" Yeah I'm fine, lets go check on the others."
"Yeah..." said Izzy quietly.
Tai managed to pull himself onto his knees. " Is everyone ok?" he asked as he glanced about the ragged group.
" My dress...my only dress..." moaned Mimi as he stared at a rip on her skirt.
" I'm fine, don't worry about me!" grumbled Joe as he picked up his glasses, which were amazingly un-broken. Everybody else seemed to be ok, minus the digimon. They had taken the beating of their lives against Devimon!
"Koromon, are you all right?" asked Tai in a shaky voice as he picked up the pink little head.
" I have a headache..." moaned Koromon.
" Tai, we have to let them rest if we even stand a chance at defeating Devimon, Kagemon may have bought us some time but I don't know how long he can withstand him!" said Matt as he, Izzy and T.k walked over to their leader, both holding their Digimon.
"Lets get into that building, we can hide out there for a little bit" said Sora as she pointed to the Lobby of the very same building that Devimon was hiding in before.
" Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the same building that Devimon was just hiding out in?" pointed out Joe.
" Do we have a choice?" Sora said as she looked around the street. Most buildings we're smashed and falling apart after the sarcastically. The group wearily hefted their beaten Digimon and entered the darkened lobby.
" Good point..." replied Joe quietly once he took in the ruins of the street.
" Nightmare Claw!" cried Devimon as his clawed hand slashed at Kagemon! The agile Digimon
Sprung backward to avoid the descending claw! But as soon as he landed, Devimon's other hand fired an energy blast at the distracted Kagemon! The attack sent Kagemon flying backwards into an air conditioning unit, crumpling it under his weight! Kagemon extracted himself from the ruined air conditioner with a loud grunt.
" Getting tired already?" taunted Devimon as he flexed his claws in anticipation. Kagemon hopped up to his feet, and grabbed his sword. He flew at Devimon with a battle cry and slashed repeatedly at the Demonic Digimon! Devimon calmly dodged the attacks one after another, after a few seconds of this; he struck a glancing blow to Kagemon's temple! With a cry Kagemon staggered backward, am invitation that was to tempting for Devimon! With a wicked laugh Devimon punched Kagemon viciously in his previously wounded stomach! Kagemon cried out in pain as he sagged to his knees clutching at his wounded abdomen! Blue blood began to drip out again as old wounds were re-opened! " This is two easy! did you truly expect to save the Digi-destined?" said Devimon with a roar of laughter!
" I... will fight you to the bitter end Devimon!" hissed Kagemon as he tried to stand, even though it brought great rippling waves of pain to his stomach!
" Yes, it will be a bitter end! -" Laughed Devimon as he grabbed Kagemon by the head in his large bony hand! "- For you of course!" Devimon backhanded Kagemon with his free hand! Devimon drew his hand back again, and struck even harder than before! A small trickle of blue blood dribbled out of Kagemon's mouth. " Your already defeated!" sneered Devimon as he shook Kagemon. His arms hung limply at his sides, Kagemon was barely conscience! " And now to finish this fight once and for all!" cried Devimon as he held up Kagemon's limp form. Devimon narrowed his fingers on his right hand, until the claws all touched, like a crude spike. " You lose." hissed Devimon as he drew his clawed hand back. With a sickening crunch, Devimon shot his hand forward; right into Kagemon's chest clean through! Kagemon. Eyes clenched shut as a weak gasp escaped his lips. His form slackened where it hung impaled off of Devimon's arm! Devimon withdrew his right arm in one smooth motion. " You we're just one more obstacle that stood in my path for domination!" Devimon tossed Kagemon's lifeless body aside as he shook his arm to try and remove some off the thick blue blood from it. " Hear me Digi-destined, My time has come, for now you have no protectors!" Lightning crackled behind Devimon as if to accent Devimon's oath.
T.k patted Patamon reassuringly as he sat in the quiet Darkness of the office buildings lobby. " Don't worry Patamon, we beat Devimon before, and we can do it again! I even heard Matt say so!" said T.k reassuringly
To his small Digi-partner. Matt looked away from T.k. He had overheard his conversation with Patamon. The battle wasn't looking real good right now, most of the Digimon had passed out from sheer lack of energy, and Devimon was on the warpath! He didn't want to let the worst happen to T.k. So far this whole " Fate" thing seemed like a dead end. Everybody sat huddled in the darkened lobby. Most of the building was still being built so lots of supplies we're still laying around.
" Hey!" said Mimi suddenly. " Can anybody else hear that?"
" Hear what?" said Joe as he cocked his head to listen.
" That thumping noise!" cried Mimi as she strained her ears to listen.
" Hey, I hear it too!"" piped T.k as he hopped down from the bench he was sitting on.
" It sounds like..."
" Helicopters!" cried Izzy as he pointed out one of the still intact picture windows. Three red taillights could be seen flying towards them.
" They headed straight for Devimon! he'll just destroy them like the others!" cried Mimi as she clutched her hands to her mouth.
" I don't think these are news crews, something looks different about them..." Izzy trailed off as he studied the approaching aircraft. Tai pulled out his telescope and studied the Helicopters.
" Those are military Helicopters! They must have called the Army!" cried Tai. " We have to get out of here, the could start firing any minute!"
" And we can't let them see the Digimon, they'd just think they were more monsters!" added Sora.
Meanwhile, just outside the building...
Devimon looked at Kagemon's lifeless body, still gloating over his victory. Suddenly the sounds of the approaching helicopters drew his attention. Three green military helicopters were approaching, and fast.
" More pitiful resistance from these humans." smirked Devimon as he rose into the air to meet his next opponents.
" Command, this is Delta one, we are approaching the target sector," stated one of the helicopter pilots. The green HUD display glowed in the dark cockpit as telltale sensors directed the pilot to his target.
" Do you have a visual?" replied the captain from the radio. The pilot strained his eyes in the darkness. He could make out the ruined buildings and rubble. With a gust of wind, the dust blew aside to reveal Devimon! standing calmly on the lip of the building.
" Command, we have a visual contact, the target is on the center rooftop!" barked the pilot as his hands danced over the controls.
" What is it?" whispered the Co-pilot.
" I have no idea.," replied the Pilot.
" Delta one, the mission is seek and destroy, fire at will!" replied Command. All three helicopters opened fire with their underside cannons! Bullets riddled the rooftop, but bounced harmlessly off of Devimon's protective aura!
" Delta one, this is Delta three, we not even hitting him, tracking must be off!"
" Negative Delta three, sensors read fine!" replied Pilot 1. " Something must be-" The radio transmition was cut short when an energy attack from Devimon slammed into the Helicopter! The bright orange flames that blossomed from the explosion illuminated the rooftop. Devimon stood, one hand raised and still smoking.
" Was that all?" said Devimon as he flew towards the remaining Helicopters! With talons outstretched, Devimon stabbed at the second helicopter! His hands tearing through the metal like it was paper! A few seconds later the smoking Helicopter spiraled down to the streets! Sweat trickled down the fore head of the remaining pilots.
"...Delta two please respond, what is your current situation?" droned the voice on the radio, But the pilot could not respond! He was frozen with fear as he watched Devimon tear the other Helicopter from the skies. Now the grinning devil was starring at him! This jerked him back to reality as his fingers te4nsed across the yoke. A burst of machine gun fire danced harmlessly off of Devimon's bubble-like aura. A few seconds later the cannon ran dry, the pilot still held down the trigger in shock that his target was still standing. Devimon raised his hands and cupped them together.
" Let this be a reminder to all of humanity: I am far more superior to anyone!" screamed Devimon as dark energy crackled around his palms. With a thrust of his hands a beam of light shot out and engulfed the Helicopter! The sky lit up again as the final helicopter exploded!
The second helicopter smashed its way through the front doors of the lobby and plowed into the front desk! Flames leapt from the wreckage to fill the lobby with thick black smoke. A few seconds later the helicopter exploded again showering the room in shrapnel! But at this moment, the Digi-destined we're already half way up the long stairwell, away from the fire.
" Now we're trapped!" wailed Joe as he banged his head against the wall. " Trapped in a long dark stair case with an evil Digimon waiting for us outside!"
" Chill out Joe, we're not through yet!" said Tai as he pushed Joe back into motion. " There are only a few more steps." The stairs opened up to an empty floor of the building. Plastic tarps covered most of the windows, and boxes of supplies we're scattered around. Walls had not even been put up yet on this floor, giving the area a creepy echo.
" And now what?" said Matt with a snort. " Another dead end!" Matt walked out into the empty floor. " Now we can all sit out in the open and wait for Devimon to come to us!"
" Now come on, Genni told us that prophecy for a reason, It has to happen if we want to beat Devimon... weather we like it or not!" said Tai, his voice echoing quietly.
" We tell me who it is then oh great leader!" mocked Matt as he waved his arms.
" Hey knock it off you two!" snapped Sora. " I'm sick of playing ringmaster between you guys!"
" Well does anyone have a clue who this so-called chosen one is?" Matt looked around at his fellow companions. Izzy lowered his head and opened his mouth as if to speak. " And our leader still thinks that if we follow this fable we can beat Devimon with our already beaten Digimon!"
" Stop fighting!" cried Mimi.
" I'm not trying to get us all killed here but this prophecy is not going to come true!" Matt went flying forward when Tai shoved him.
" Listen you! We're here for a reason! We have a duty to protect both of our worlds!" snarled Tai. " Now your going to be a part of this team weather you like it or not!" Matt leapt up to his feet.
" Well than who do you think it is?" snarled Matt as he grabbed Tai by his shirt. Tai seemed at a loss for words. Tai grabbed Matt back.
" Well maybe its me!" he snapped.
"Oh there you go again, being all sacrificial!"
" Matt stop it!" cried T.k as he tugged at Matt's pant leg.
" Stay out of this T.k, this has gone on long enough!" snapped Matt as he shook his leg free. T.k backed away from Matt and Tai and went to sit against the wall with Patamon.
" Hey Patamon, look..." said T.k absently as his quiet voice was drowned out by the arguing.
" Alright!" cried Joe as he shoved the two boys apart. " Devimon's probably flying around up there looking for us and we're sitting down here arguing about who gets to die!"
" Well that means that who ever the person is, has to go up there and fight him alone, seeing as all of our Digimon are to tired even to stand I don't see how we're going to stand a chance!" cried Matt as he pointed to the sleeping pile of Digimon.
" Well if you all look up to me as your leader, then I'm going to go and settle this once and for all!" cried Tai as he turned to a small one-man elevator. The elevator was built for construction workers and no more than mesh walls and floor, with a chain link gate, it also was the only way up to the rest of the building.
" Tai don't!" cried Sora as he grabbed onto his arm. " You don't know if its you, don't go and get your self killed!" Sora begged as she looked into his eyes with those deep hazel eyes of hers.
" Well maybe it's me!" cried Matt as he turned away from Tai.
" Now lets all go at this logically," started Joe. " We can't just go crazy trying to figure out who it is!"
" Well then I think its me!" started Tai again. " I was chosen to be the leader, and I have to show courage!" Tai pulled out his crest for emphases. " This is something that the leader would do!"
" Well if you think it has something to do with the crests than maybe it's me!" said Matt. " After all I have the crest of friendship, and I'm doing this for my friends!"
" It could even be done for love of my friends," said Sora absently as he stared at her own crest.
" Now I'm sure we all have about a million reasons why our crests would seem like the answer!" said Joe.
" Well logic doesn't seem to be working now does it?" cried Matt as he spun around to face Joe.
" Matt please stop it!" cried T.k again as he leapt up to run over to his brother.
" T.k just go and sit down, this is something we have to work out!" snapped Matt.
" But Matt!" started T.k.
" Just do it!" Matt hissed as he pushed T.k back to the wall. He turned around back to the others.
"If logic had worked than wouldn't Izzy have figured it out by now? Wouldn't you?" Matt looked at Izzy.
" Well I..." started Izzy, but he just trailed off. Matt stopped yelling, "...Didn't you?" Izzy was silent. " Well?" snapped Matt.
" When I was at Genni's... I tried to translate part of the prophecy..."
" And what?" Asked Tai and Matt simultaneously.
" Well Tai... it's...." Izzy looked up.
" I knew it,..." said Tai as he started back towards the elevator.
" No, I meant to say, it isn't you!" cried Izzy. " It's..."
TO BE CONTINUED.......RIGHT NOW!!!!
( Ha! Just thought I'd make you all sweat! ^.^* )
" T.k!" interrupted Matt, as he turned away from the conversation to see T.k closing the door to the elevator. " What are you doing?"
" Matt you wouldn't listen to me! So I had to do it my self!" cried T.k.
" What do you mean?" cried Matt as he ran between Tai and Joe, over to try to open the door - but T.k had locked it. T.k held up his crest, the crest of hope sparkled with an ineer light! Matt's mind began to race. " T.k come out of there at once! This isn't funny!"
" Matt I'm sure that it's me! Matt you said this was something that had to be worked out, and I'm the solution, I just know it!"
" You can't be! Come out of there right now!" cried Matt.
" Matt, I know I'm the only one who can do this! I'm not a little kid anymore!" Tears trickled down T.k's face.
" T.k don't do this!" said Matt, a sob escaped from his lips. " There has to be another way!" Matt crouched down and tried to squeeze his hand between the links in the fence. T.k grabbed Matts hand.
" Matt , I have to prove it that I'm really helping us! I have to prove it to myself!"
" T.k thats silly! Don't say things like that!" Matt sobbed, all of his normally cool compostion was gone as he emptied his heart out infront of his friends. There was a rumble from some where on top of the building.
"He's here, Matt I have to do this please understand!" sobbed T.k as he squeezed Matt's hand. The elevator started with a bump and slowly began to ascend.
" T.k wait!" cried Matt as he was forced to stand up.
" Matt I'll miss you!" sobbed T.k as the elevator disapeared into the shaft. Matt slumped back to the ground. His friends could only watch the drama before them.
" He's gone...now I've lost every one" whispered Matt. Gabumon limped over to Matt and tried to comfort him. But Matt was beyond that, Matt was now an empty shell...
To be continued....
( Yeah I know, still more... )
