Accepting Destiny
Chapter Three: A Worldwide Threat
Author's Notes. Wow, only up for 2 days and so many reviews. Considering how long it took to get 4 for my last fic, The Next Digidestined? 4 in this short amount of time is good. Reactions have been good so far. Who's going to end up with who? That seems to be the question on my reader's minds. Well, I could tell you, but that would ruin the suspense. But regardless of who I do chose to end up together please don't get mad. With that said, here's part 3.
Phantomon was at the end of the alley scythe raised and ready to fight. The newly digivolved Wyvernamon was at the other side of the alley, and was not about to let Jun be harmed. Jun was somewhere in the middle of them, half scared, half in awe of Wvyernamon. The two digimon quickly ascended to a higher altitude because the alley wasn't big enough to fight in. Phantomon lunged at Wyvernamon.
"SHADOW SCYTHE!!" He took a swing at Wyvernamon, but Wyvernamon easily dodged it. Now it was Wyvernamon's turn.
"FROST BREATH!!" Wyvernamon opened her mouth and shot a blast of sub-zero air at Phantomon, but he also dodged the attack. They continued to exchange blows all the while Jun was watching them. Jun at this point started to think.
"Why would someone want me dead? What's so important about me?" Jun was baffled by this. The rest of the digimon didn't seem evil, just out of control. But Phantomon was different. He said he had come to kill both her and Dragamon. It didn't add up.
* * * * * *
Meanwhile back at the ampitheater things were starting to wind down. There were only two Ultimates left, a Gigadramon, and a Monzaemon remained, the rest had been sent back to the digital world. The newer digimon had already DNA digivolved. Paildramon was fighting Gigadramon while Sylphymon took on Monzaemon with Shakkoumon providing back up.
"DESPERADO BLASTER!!!" Paildramon took hold of the two guns he had and fired them at Gigadramon. The blasts connected, and stunned Gigadramon long enough for Paildramon to take him by the tail and throw him into the digiport.
"STATIC FORCE!!" Sylphymon threw a ball of energy at Monzaemon, but Monzaemon was ready for it.
"HEART ATTACK!!" The two attacks met but Sylphymon's overpowered the Heart Attack and hit Monzaemon dead on. Shakkoumon took advantage of this.
"FAJITA BOMBS!!" The attack knocked Monzeamon right into the digiport. The last of the maverick digimon out of the way, Izzy closed the digiport.
"Well that takes care of that." Izzy said.
"At least the damage was minimal." Tentomon said looking around.
"Yeah." Tai also looked around, but noticed Sora was nowhere to be seen. Nor was Biyomon. "Hey where's Sora?" He asked.
"Last time I saw her was when your digimon digivolved." Kari said.
"You don't think. . ." Tai's eyes widened with fear. Without hesitation he ran off to check the area.
"Speaking of missing digidestined, where's Jun?" Davis asked noticing for the first time that Jun wasn't with the rest of the group.
"I'll find her. Lets go Gabumon." Matt said and ran off with Gabumon right behind him.
"SOMEBODY HELP!"
"That sounded like Tai." Kari said. "Come on everybody!" She took off following the sound. The rest of the digidestined who were still there followed her. Kari couldn't bear the thought of her brother in trouble. She ran as fast as she could but came to a dead stop when she reached the back of the ampitheater. There she saw Tai kneeling on the ground next to an unconscious Sora.
* * * * * *
Meanwhile Wyvernamon was still engaged in combat with Phantomon. Nothing had changed since the battle started, everytime one would attack the other would dodge and counterattack only to have it dodged as well. That is until Phantomon got in a lucky strike. Wyvernamon was thrown to the middle of the street near the alley. Satisfied, Phantomon turned to Jun and started to approach her.
"Well now that she's out of the way, I'm afraid it's your turn my dear." He said as he raised his scythe and began to charge. Jun instinctively ran, but soon found that she was trapped. Phantomon was blocking the only way out of the alley. Jun backed against the inner wall, overcome and paralyzed by fear.
"BLUE BLASTER!!" Suddenly a blue stream of fire shot at Phantomon knocking him back. Phantomon spun around and came face to face with Matt and Gabumon.
"Get away from her Phantomon!" Matt had a look of sheer rage on his face.
"Sorry, but she must be killed, nothing personal." He turned back to Jun, but was met by Wyvernamon.
"ICE LANCE!!!" Wyvernamon closed her wings and then quickly opened them again, several long shards of ice appeared and headed straight for Phantomon. Since Wyvernamon had attacked so quickly Phantomon had no time to react. The ice connected and Phantomon was reduced to digital information. Wyvernamon dedigivolved back to Dragamon and rushed to the side of her friend. Matt also rushed to Jun's side. But Jun was still in shock and she wasn't responding.
"Jun, are you ok?" Matt asked but then saw the look of terror in her eyes. She was also shaking. "Jun what's wrong, Jun snap out of it!" He began to shake her.
"Matt?" Jun slowly came around, seeing Matt she threw herself into his arms. "Oh Matt, I was so scared. I thought . . ." Jun couldn't finish because the thought of her dying like that still scared her. Matt hesitated but then returned the embrace.
"It's ok Jun, he's gone now." Matt never thought this could ever happen. But they had grown close recently. Something about it just felt right. He didn't let go even after she stopped shaking.
"Um Matt? I think she's ok now." Gabumon said. The two blushed and quickly broke away. Jun turned to Dragamon.
"Thanks Dragamon. I don't know what I would have done without you." Jun said kneeling down to pat her digimon on the head.
"That's ok Jun, besides it's my job to protect you." Dragamon said with a smile.
"Why was Phantomon trying to kill you?" Matt asked.
"I don't know." Said Jun still trying to figure it out. "He said he was under orders to kill both me and Dragamon. Why would someone want me dead Matt?"
"I don't know." Matt wished he had some answers for her. "Anyway we should probably go back with the others, they're probably worried.
* * * * * *
"Sora? Sora!" Tai called out frantically to his longtime friend. "Biyomon what happened?"
"When I was fighting Snimon, a stray twin sicle blast hit one of the walls of the ampitheater, a chunk the wall fell and hit Sora in the head. I couldn't protect her. By the time I got to her she was down." Biyomon said with tears streaming down her face.
"It's not your fault Biyomon." Agumon said trying ot cheer her up. "Everything happened too quickly."
"Let me have a look at her." Joe said. He walked over to Sora and checked for a pulse. "Well she's alive. She's just out cold." Joe was always prepared, so he reached into his bag and produced some smelling salts. He waved them beneath Sora's nose and she slowly came to.
"Oh. . .uh. . ..T. .Tai?" She said weakly.
"Sora." Tai paused, he was so relieved to see that she was alright. "Don't ever scare me like that again. I thought I had lost you."
"I'm ok." Though she still couldn't stand up.
"We should still have someone look at her, with this much destruction there should be ambulances on their way, just stay there until we can get you some help." Joe said. It was then that Matt and Jun showed up. Matt saw Sora on the ground and walked quickly over to her.
"What happened?" Matt asked.
"She was hit in the head pretty hard, Joe thinks she'll be ok though." Izzy said. Jun not wanting to get in the way walked over to Davis.
"Davis, one of the rouge digimon said he was under orders to kill me and Dragamon!" Jun said.
"What?" Davis said shocked that someone had gone after her and her alone.
"But why only you?" Yolie asked.
"And who would have wanted you dead?" Hawkmon added.
"Arukenimon." Ken said breaking his silence.
"Huh?" All the newer digidestined said.
"It has to be her, it makes sense, since she's obviously behind tonights attack, she must have also ordered the attempt on your life. But I haven't figured out why."
"Yeah, usually when she is after us she tries to get us all at once." Said Leafmon.
"Well whatever the reason it's obvious that Jun is in danger." Davis interrupted.
"So what are you saying?" Jun asked afraid that he would just make her hide again.
"I think it would be a good idea if someone was with her at all times." Salamon said. the others turned to face her. "From what I hear from Gabumon Dragamon's champion form is very powerful. It would be foolish to waste such power that could help us."
"Salamon's right, we'll need her help." Kari said.
"Ok, Jun are you ok with this?" Davis asked.
"Yes." Jun said.
"Ok, we'll work something out tomorrow. Right now we should probably head home, our parents must be worried sick. We'll meet tomorrow at my house to come up with a plan, because somehting tells me that this isn't the end." Said Ken.
* * * * * *
Kari was looking for her brother. She found him with some paramedics helping Sora into an ambulance.
"Should I tell Mom you won't be home." Kari said, also concerned for Sora. Sora looked up at Tai.
"Tai. .you don't have to do this." She said and then coughed.
"I know, I just want to. Besides won't you need someone to talk to when you wake up?" Tai had made up his mind, he wasn't going ot leave her side. "Kari could you take Agumon home?"
"Sure Tai." Kari said. The paramedics moved the stretcher into the ambulance, after that Tai also got in. They closed the door and the ambulance drove off.
"I hope she'll be ok." Said Biyomon still crying a little.
"Don't worry Biyomon she'll be ok." Kari said trying to reassure her.
* * * * * *
Later outside Jun's apartment.
"Thanks for walking me and Dragamon home Matt." Jun said as she stopped outside the front doors.
"No problem, you had a rough night. I thought you needed some company."
"Matt? I'm scared. What if next time I'm not so lucky?" She said with a sound of fear in her voice. Matt put his hands on her arms.
"Jun there's no way I'll let them get you." Matt said. Jun was touched, nobody had ever been this good to her. Nobody except Sam. But Sam was gone now. Jun thought of Sam and started to pull away.
"What's wrong Jun?" Matt asked, confused as to why she backed off.
"I'm sorry Matt. I sill have some things to work out." Jun said sadly.
"It's ok. Well I had better get going, I'll see you tomorrow. Come on Gabumon, lets see if we can find some food that hasn't expired back home." Matt started to walk away and Gabumon followed.
"Nice to see things haven't changed." Gabumon said with a slight chuckle. Once the two were gone Jun and Dragamon went back to the apartment for some well deserved rest.
* * * * * *
The next morning.
Jun walked into the T.V. room as tired as she was just about every morning. She found Onamon was already up and watching cartoons.
"Dragamon what are you doing, what if my parents see you?" Jun was none too happy.
"It's ok, I have good hearing. If I heard any sound from their room I would be back in your room before they got there, besides I didn't want to miss Nadesico."
"Haven't you seen this one already?" Jun asked still trying to fully awaken.
"Yeah it's one of the earlier episodes. Gai just cracks me up." Onamon said with much enthusiasm. Suddenly the image of Gai breaking his own leg was replaced by a reporter.
"What the?" Onamon said.
"Shh." Jun quickly said and watched the T.V.
"There was minimal damage in last nights strange monster attack. Only one injury was reported. A 15 year old girl suffered a mild concussion." The reporteer said.
"He must mean Sora." Jun said relieved to hear she was ok. "Davis wake up they have something on T.V. about last night." Davis walked in the room barely awake and rubbing his eyes.
"Jun I hope your ose is a snooze button because I'm about to jab it." He became silent when an image of a control spire was shown next to the Statue of Liberty.
"International reports confirm that strange objects which can be best described as black obelisks are appearing worldwide." Both gasped in shock.
"That looks just like that thing last night!" Jun said in a state of panic.
"Ken was right, we haven't seen the last of this." Davis said. "We have to get to Ken's as soon as he wakes up. Something has to be done."
To Be Continued.
Author's notes: Ok part 3 is done. Who would have thought it was so hard to have so many characters around and try and squeeze them all in. Next time I think I will keep it a little more simple, well except for one very important scene. I will have the next chapter ready after saturday because I want to see what happens next on the show, and how to throw Jun into the mix. I blantantly used Nadesico as the cartoon Onamon was watching because it's one of my favorite shows. And to give proper credit, the line about Jun's nose being a snooze button was from Lunar Silver Star Story Complete. Anyway check after Saturday for Chapter 4 of Accepting Destiny. . .Ultimate Power.
