Chapter 17: Calm Before the Storm
Several days had passed since
Technoguardragumon's arrival, and he had not been seen since. It
was hard to tell night from day because of the darkness that
Metalsnidramon had brought upon the digital world. The
digidestined had decided they had to set up camp and get some
rest. Yolei and Hawkmon were on guard duty, and the others were
asleep, all except Joseph. "Why are you still awake?"
Yolei asked softly as Joseph sat beside her.
"Afraid of my dreams," said Joseph, "sure, knowing
that something I can stop is comming is nice.... but..."
Joseph sighed and went quiet. "But what?" asked Yolei.
"I.... I keep seeing.... your death," said Joseph.
"My, death?" asked Yolei.
"You were supposed to die once, to Blackwargreymon,"
said Joseph, "a second time by a digimon I've never seen
before."
"But, you protected me once," said Yolei, "You'd
do it again..... wouldn't you?"
"Strangely, I'd say you won't have a problem on that
one," said Joseph, "I'm not sure why though.."
"Maybe, he's the one," thought Yolei.
~Next Day~
"There it is," said Joseph, "Metalsnidramon's
lair."
"So nice of you, to visit," said a voice from above.
"Metalsnidramon," growled Joseph.
Metalsnidramon jumped down in front of them, his metal armor
clanking as he landed. "Hello there kiddies," said
Metalsnidramon, "Joseph, you were such a fool, you always
played right into my hands."
"What?" asked Joseph.
"I could have destroyed you when I first fought you,"
said Metalsnidramon, "but I needed the power..... and if it
wasn't for her, you still would have been mine."
Metalsnidramon was pointing at Yolei with a hateful look.
"You'll have to delete me, before I even let you touch
her," growled Joseph.
"The time will come," said Metalsnidramon,
"Darkness bomb!"
Metalsnidramon threw a ball of dark energy into the mountain, and
deleted the entire mountain. All the was left was a claw of some
sort. "It's, just like my amulet," said Joseph as he
stared at his amulet.
A dragon's talon, three claws, each claw grasped onto a digivice,
and from one hung his crest, the crest of honor. "Yes, I
found it years ago as Sniveldramon," said Metalsnidramon,
"before Apoclymon was destroyed."
~Flashback~
"I'll take you, and the digital world with me!" yelled
Apoclymon, "Total annihilation!"
~End Flashback~
"Unfortunately for him, your digivices contained the
explosion," said Metalsnidramon, "but after the digital
world was rebuilt, I wondered what this claw was really for.....
when I digivolved to Snidramon I heard some rumors, but none were
true."
"That's all nice to know," said Joseph, "but why
should we care?"
"Because, the rules changed when you showed up.
Fortuntunately for me, you hit your head while comming here, and
forgot everything about your past. Unfortunately for me, you knew
how to use your amulet. The day I first saw it, I knew what the
claw was for," said Metalsnidramon, "it was the key to
your digivices..... and digivolving."
"What?!" yelled Kari.
"This claw has everything with Joseph's ability to
digivolve..... and soon, it shall be used in my favor," said
Metalsnidramon as Technoguardragumon flew overhead, dropping a
large black stone on the claw.
The three claws each latched onto the rock and began to emit a
malevolent aura. "The time.... is now!" yelled
Metalsnidramon, "for they creating destroyer, myself,
demands it!"
"The creating destroyer?!" yelled Joseph?
