Chapter Eight: Dragon's Fire
The while shimmering wings levitated the muscular, scaly body of the lethal dragon. Its gold eyes were aglow with an unholy fire, which burned brighter than the stars themselves. The scales glimmered, and sparkled within the whirling, uncontrollable waves of red energy. Its great, white teeth were tainted red, by its lust for blood, and a small dribble of red trickled down its chin.
The digimon took a step forward, Demiveemon perked up, "We can take him, He's just an overstuffed lizard!"
The Dragon's eyes shone brighter, more uncontrolled power at the insult. The digmon took another cautious step forward. Demiveemon took a running leap and digievoved into Veemon. In his new form, he used his gain momentum to try an attack at the dragon. "V HeatButt!" The small voice rang out, the digimon hurtled itself at the dragon, and its sharp little horns were pointed directly at the dragon's chest.
The Dragons fist shot out, and the hand opened, grabbing the small digimon in a tight clenched fist. The claws tightened, crushing the small digimon. Veemon's small face contorted into a grimace…"Davis!" The small digmons bones could be heard, snapping one by one…"Davis! H….Help!" The dragon lifted the digimon in the air, and smashed him unmercifully against the cement of the roof. Not once, or twice…But three times, each time pounding the unconscious digimon into the concrete. After some time, the dragon threw the bloody digmon back at Davis, slamming him to the back wall. He tried to stand, but collapsed on the ground. His chest moving slowly, and his eyes fluttering.
Kari stood in shock…. That monster had beat Veemon to a bloody pulp, and had nearly killed Davis in the process! She glanced back at T.K. "What do we do?" Cody interrupted her, "We need to get out of here! If he can do that to Veemon, think of what he can do to us!"
Kari ran over to Davis, his nose was dripping with blood, and his digmon's shook in fist of pain. She told the rest of the gang in a hurried voice, "Lets go, T.K. and Cody grab Davis, and run!"
The gang gathered up the wounded digidestoned and the digmon. The dragon roared once, and let out a huge beam of fire that plastered Hawkmon against the wall. The digmon screamed, and fell face first to the cold cement. Its feathers stunk of burnt flesh, and its face was blacked and blistered. Yolie screamed, and picked up the digimon. The group dogged gouts of fire that erupted from the dragon, slowly making their way back to the maintenance stairwell.
Another flash of superheated plasma, and the stairwell entryway crumbled into a pile of glowing cement. The escape point was cut off! The group ran and hid behind one of the air-conditioning units, each one tried to hind as the waves of fire raced over their heads. T.K. yelled at the group, "We need to hold off the monster!" Kari sat holding her knees, her eyes were filled with tears, "We cant escape…..Were trapped, and now….Even our digimon cant take that….monster down!"
The waves increased, making giant red flashes against the night sky. The group huddled in the cold, as the waves barely missed them. The tops of the metal air-condition units were starting to glow a bright-cherry red. A strong smell of melting plastics, and metal drifted under the kids' noses.
With a flash, the waves started to dissipate….little by little, the energy started to revert itself, and the flashes of uncontrolled energy dissipated in the night sky. Kari's head lifted from her knees. She looked at the others, "It stopped?" The group arose, and slowly creeped out from behind the now blacked, and melted air-unit.
There was the monster….It was gasping for breath, its mouth had flecks of white spittle its corners. Yoile took step forward, she spoke to the others, waving her hands, beckoning to the others. "I think….Its tired! We should be able to see what it is!"
Cody shook his head, "I think we should just leave it alone! It might regain its strength soon, and then it would finish us off!"
Yoile stamped her foot, and glared at the little kid, " I don't care! Its needs our help!"
Kari scliened the two, with a glare,"Both of you….Be quiet! Look! Its starting to move!"
The group watched the monster….Its head was drooping….Deep within the creatures mind, Fon Lu was starting to awaken…It felt as if his mind was trapped within a cage, and it was finally starting to break. "Augh….Not again! No more pain, nor death! Begone Kaiser! Revert to your original form!"
The Kaiser dragon threw its head back and screamed, a blast of light exploded from its chest, anther one from its back, soon there were beams of light shining and burning from the dragon. The monster withered in the light, its body dissolved into particles, and formed back into its basic human form. In a final whirlwind, the dark energy dissolved into nothingness, and the dragon was gone. Leaving only a naked, steaming Fon Lu. His eyes focused on the group of kids. There mouths hung open, but Kari walked slowly to the kneeling young man. She smiled, and reached her hand towards the god. "Here, take my hand. You must be exaused." Fon Lu reached up, and grasped her hand. He lifted himself to his feet, and he smiled back at her.
Kari's eyes shone, "You're the person that we helped in the Digital World! We though you were gone for good!"
Fon Lu stood in silence, his mind racing…Should he trust these mortals, or find out what his purpose was in this strange land….He took a step towards the others, and with a deep breath, he started to tell his long, sad, and mysterious journey.
