Does it all come down to
this? Is everything going to end like this?
My heart still cries for
the blood of that monster...my blade is thirsty for him...
I know I can't stop
him...but I have to try...try something. I just hope the others can come
through for me...I need all the help I can get.

Lee, the Lost Destined

"So...there's no way
I'm going to stop Kakonmon alone..." Tao muttered to himself, kneeling down,
sword thrusted into the ground in front of him. "He's going to find T.K.
and kill him, and the only thing I can do is stall."
"Stall for what?
Reinforcements? Through time? I don't see how...but...."
"No way...I can't give
up yet...not unless I try...besides...I'm never afraid to die...always wanted
to anyway..."
"Do I? I have nothing
to go back to..."
"No...I do have
something to go back to...and have her...and if I go...she'll be
disappointed...disappointed is not the right word...she'll be suicidal...I
can't let her down...never..."
A snapping of a twig behind
Tao alerted the teen. Tao's eyes went wide, grabbing his sword and turning
around, pointing in the direction of the sound, the blade surrounded in an
emerald glow.
"Wha?!" the boy
leaped back in surprise, in his green sweater and large green hat. The Patamon
on his head leaped up and started floating above, ready to Boom Bubble.
"T.K.?!" Tao
exclaimed, quickly lowering his sword. The young Digi-Destined was
significantly smaller then him, and Tao surprised himself from recognising the
blonde hair boy. "Guess Patamon was the key clue..." Tao thought,
keeping an eye on the flying Patamon.
"H-How do you know my
name...?" the young T.K. asked, shaking in his boots upon the look of the
blade pointed at his face. Tao's face faulted, regretting his sudden action
against the young boy.
"Just say I'm a
friend," Tao responded, standing up and looking down at the boy. "The
face is the same," Tao thought, examining the younger T.K.. "But he
sure looks...taller in my time frame..."
"What the hell am I
thinking? Of course he does...it's like six or seven years later...of course
he'll look taller."
"Err...it's the first
time I've seen another person in this world aside from the other six,"
T.K. replied innocently, still a bit afraid. "Were you taken from camp as
well?" Tao grinned lightly, placing a hand on the young boy's head.
"You could say
that," Tao answered, kneeling back down again. "I take it you got
separated from your friends..." Tao observed, glancing around. There was a
waterfall nearby, as well as much forestry around.
"Yeah...I sure hope
they're all right," T.K. commented, becoming more comfortable with the
presence of the older boy.
"I'm sure they
are," Tao responded, forcing a smile. "I just hope I can protect you
from Kakonmon..." the future Digi-Destined added under his breath.
"Hey, I don't know
you're name," T.K. spoke, realising that fact. "I don't want to end
up calling you Mr. Swordsman..."
"Just call me
Blitz..." Tao responded, looking away. "Got to try to alter as little
timeline as possible..." he thought.
"Geeze...is that a
nickname or something?" T.K. inquired, looking up. Patamon landed back on
the hat, also not sensing any danger from the newcomer.
"Yep, just a
nickname..." Tao replied softly, glancing back down at the boy. "He's
really innocent..." Tao thought. "Even if I have a sword in my
possession, he seems comfortable with me...maybe innocent isn't the right
word...gullible..."
Tao's gaze went towards the
nearby forestry, a presence of evil clicking into his recently discovered
sixth-sense, and only one Digimon could make that sixth-sense snap like that.
"Kakonmon…"Tao
muttered, tightening the grip on his sword.
"Blitz?" T.K. asked,
stepping closer to the future Digi-Destined. Tao turned to face the young boy.
"Listen, T.K., there's
going to be big trouble here…and it's coming fast…" Tao explained, trying
to not give away any details. "I need you to get away from here as fast as
possible..."
"But…" T.K. was
about to protest, not wanting to lose another friend anymore.
"Trust
me…please…" Tao pleaded. "A Digimon out there wants you dead…and he's
coming this way…and fast…"
"Is it Devimon?!"
T.K. asked, fearful of a responses.
"Just a friend of
his," Tao answered, standing up and turning towards the forest.
"Patamon…take care of T.K. and get out of here…I'm going to be holding
this mad Digimon off for as much as possible." Patamon stared at the
sword-user for a moment, but upon seeing the determination in his voice and
eyes, Patamon nodded, flapping into the air and tugging on T.K.'s shirt.
"Come on T.K."
Patamon told his partner, the boy moving only slightly.
"But…" T.K.
repeated, still refusing to move.
"Go T.K.!" Tao
ordered. "Find Matt and the others! Beat Devimon! If not, then peace will
never come to the island…" T.K.'s visage of lose soon turned into courage
and hope. HE regarded Tao for one last moment, then nodded.
"Alright…just stay safe
Blitz, even if that's not your name," T.K. told the future Digi-Destined,
filled with hope and heading off, Patamon tailing behind.
"Well, that's one less
problem to worry about…now to hold off Kakonmon for as much as
possible..." Tao thought, gripping his weapon tightly. "At least I know
T.K. will be safe as long as I live…however long that is…"
With those final thoughts,
Tao rushed into the forest, weapon raised and ready.
* * * * * *
Titanimon and Psychemon
ended up at the rendezvous location at the same time, both coming a complete
stop and dropping off their passengers before changing back to their Rookies.
"Alright, we're all
here and we have all the fragments," K.H. shouted out, assembling the
group into a circle. "What do we do?" There was silence, then eyes
fell onto the Digi-Destined known as Tiberius, expecting an explanation.
"Well, since there
hasn't been an automatic reaction yet…let's just load up each Crest fragment
into our Digivice and then place them close together." The others did as
they were told, and held the Digivices close to each other. Still, no reaction
from the Crest fragments.
"Idea number 2?"
Marc asked, getting worried now. If they couldn't find a solution soon…all
their work would be in vain… There was an ominous silence before Tiberius
answered the question.
"Pray…"
* * * * * *
Tao leaped up and slashed
down at Kakonmon, hoping to get another hit into the Digimon like before in
surprise, but the attempt completely failed. Kakonmon's right claw was up and
blocking the attack.
"Not like in the time
warp, my boy," Kakonmon grunted, the wound in his back healed over time.
"That wound when we were sent back hurt though…my concentration as broken,
and I didn't land in the time frame I would've preferred."
"Too bad for
you," Tao responded bitterly and sarcastically, stepping back from the
larger Digimon before him.
"Yes, too bad, but
it's only a minor setback…" Kakonmon agreed, not concerned with the change
in plan. "But first…I must take care of you…being the main pest of my
plans all so long…"
"Well, not my fault
you couldn't mould me into the image of yourself," Tao continued to speak
in the same bitter and sarcastic tone.
"Yes…what pity,"
Kakonmon agreed again, entering a fighting pose. "Well…enough talk…time to
end your miserable existence, bearer of Light and Darkness."
"Go ahead, try
it," Tao dared, entering his own fighting pose. Kakonmon 'grinned' under
that helmet of his, rushing forward.
* * * * * *
"What do you mean
'pray'?!" Harriermon exclaimed, hovering in front of Tiberius' face.
"There's got to be something!" Tiberius stepped back in surprise, the
avian Digimon's outbreak catching him off guard.
"I mean it…"
Tiberius responded calmly, seeing the pain in the lost Digi-Destined's partner.
"If that didn't work…then…well…we're stuck…" Harriermon sighed,
falling onto the ground with a thud.
"Wait…" Shastina
spoke sharply, getting everyone's attention. "I…I can feel his
spirit…"
* * * * * *
Tao fell back out of the
forest, tossing a Sonic Sword behind him. Kakonmon pursued, deflecting the
Sonic Sword attack with no difficulty.
"Give up now and make
it easy for yourself!" the Digimon roared out, annoyed he hasn't destroyed
the Digi-Destined yet.
"I never liked
easy!" Tao shouted back, skidding to halt, then rushing at Kakonmon again.
The Digi-Destined's pattern was becoming predictable, a mix of
offence-and-defence, or better known as 'hit-and-run'. Tao slashed high,
blocked by Kakonmon's left claw. The angle of the attack exposed Tao's left
side, and taking the initiative, Kakonmon thrust his claw out, forcing Tao to
block and drop his guard even more. A third blow with Kakonmon's left
axe-side-arm was blocked once more by the Digi-Destined's weapon, but Tao's
form was so unbalanced that the force of the blow sent him flying backwards.
"Damn.." Tao
muttered, falling flat on his face. The Digi-Destined quickly got back up,
clutching the weapon in his hand tightly. He wouldn't die yet…definitely not
yet…
"Come on, Shas, Marc,
Tibbs, K.H., help me out here…" Tao muttered softly.
* * * * * *
The Crest fragments glowed
lightly, the reality around the Digi-Destined and Digimon rippling away from
existence. The four Digivices connected in a blast of sapphire beams, creating
an arena. Within the boundaries stood Tao, faint in form and showing he didn't
really exist, but just an image. He was sweating and panting, tired from battle
unknown to the other four Digi-Destined.
"Tao!" both
Harriermon and Shastina shouted out. Harriermon flew at his partner, but ended
up flying right through the image of the Digi-Destined and crashing into the
ground in surprise.
"Oow…" the
Digimon moaned, looking up at the image.
"It's only an
image…" Tiberius informed the Digimon, staring at the figure of Tao as
well. "And it looks like he's about beat… We need a solution…and we need
it fast…"
* * * * * *
Kakonmon slashed once more
with his claw, evaded by Tao, albeit in a sloppy fashion due to the
Digi-Destined's weakened state. The Human could hardly defend himself, let
alone strike back.
"Why don't you just die
like a good Digi-Destined?" Kakonmon asked, seeing the end of this battle
soon, and it was the Devil's attempt to taunt the boy.
"Dying...it's a nice
thought...but I won't die until you're dead!" Tao shouted out, getting
back up with renewed vigour. In the next moment, his Digivice flared with
energy. The Infinity Crest he had possession of blinked on the Digivice's
screen his other four Crests surrounding it.
* * * * * *
The beams of light that
connected each Digivice suddenly died, though the image of Tao remained with
them. In replacement, the Infinity Crest of each Digivice was revealed,
surrounded by the other four Crests within. The image of Tao gripped his
Digivice tightly, and the five Digi-Destined tried to figure what was going on.
* * * * * *
Tao gazed down at his
Digivice, recognising the five Crests, then closed his eyes. The Digi-Destined
could sense out his friends and comrades through ripples in time, and seeing
them in his mind brought him confidence.
"You're going
down!" Tao screamed out to Kakonmon, raising his Digivice.
* * * * * *
The four Digivices that
held the Crest of Time burst to life now, energy blossoming from each device.
The five Crests swirled on the screen, then a multi-coloured beam lashed out
and hit each Digimon aside form Harriermon. Cries echoed across the clearing.
"Xemon..."
"Tigramon..." "Lepumon..." "Kinoumon..."
"Infinity Warp
Digivolve to..."
"Knightdramon!"
"Psychemon!" "Titanimon!" "Elusamon!"
"What the...?!"
K.H. exclaimed, just wondering if Tiberius' theory behind Warp Digivolving to
the Infinity was true or not. More questionably was why the Digimon
warped up like they did. Tiberius checked his Digivice, then came up with a
reason.
"Our Crests are
gone...they must've drained all their energy to preserve the life of our
Digimon in the Warp Digivolve..."
"But..." Marc
started, glancing at Tao with his raised Digivice. Marc never had time to
finish, as each Digivice fired off another beam of energy, this time in light
sapphire colour.
Unleashing Time, the
power of all will complete this shattered power, and, when the power is
restored, will the seal be created once more.
Each Crest of Time
fragment hit Tao's Digivice, or the image of the Digivice. Either way, the
Crest ripped through time to hit its destination. Tao's Digivice shined with
energy, lots of energy, then that energy was transferred into another beam, and
that beam hit Harriermon directly. The Digimon phased from existence.
* * * * * *
Tao wasn't sure what
happened. All he recalled was massive amounts of energy entering his Digivice,
then leaving it just as quickly. Then, at the next moment, Harriermon was
before him, glowing in sapphire energy, before the transparent glow became
solid.
"Harriermon...Infinity
Warp Digivolve to..."
The orb formed into a
humanoid figure, spreading arms and legs out. It was a silhouette of a humanoid
figure in there, and soon armour plating was covering it. Chrome coloured
armour layered onto the new Digimon, full body armour of protection. A black
visor was on the helmet of the suit, then the sapphire orb of energy shrunk
into a small rocket pack that attached to the Digimon's back. In the same
colour of energy, a two-handed board sword formed in his hand.
"Jikokumon!"
Jikokumon hovered over the
ground in front of Tao, in between the Digi-Destined and the Digimon they had
to destroy.
"If two Infinity
Digimon can't beat me, what makes you so sure one Infinity can?" Kakonmon
mocked, stepping forward, unafraid of the new Digimon before him.
"You don't know,"
Jikokumon responded. The two Digimon faced off, watching each other closely
behind the helmets each wore.
"WAKE OF
DESTRUCTION!"
The ground ripped open from
under Jikokumon, hot energy blasting out like a volcano. Just as quickly, the
chrome armoured Digimon was out of the path of the attack. The aerial Digimon
was up in the air, then diving back down at the Devil.
"NEXUS SHATTER!"
Kakonmon fired both his
claws at the diving Digimon, then leaped away. Jikokumon rolled out of the way,
and followed the path of the Devil Digimon, sword raised and ready to thrust
through the Devil.
The weapon hit ground as
the Devil Digimon took to the air, staring down at the Digimon below.
"WAKE OF
DESTRUCTION!"
The group Jikokumon stood
on ripped apart, and the second later, was covered with a massive heat ray from
the core of the world. In the next instant, nothing was there.
"It's all over,"
Kakonmon spoke, gazing down at the Digi-Destined still standing in the open.
"Never say it's over
until it really is!" Jikokumon shouted from above. Kakonmon quickly looked
up, seeing the diving armoured Digimon again, this time with slightly toasted
armour.
Kakonmon had no time to
evade, the blade slashing into shoulder and throwing back onto the ground, on
his knees.
"STASIS LOCK!"
Sapphire tendrils of energy
wrapped around Kakonmon, then locked him in place, and in his temporally
stunned state, he had no chance to break free from the binds. Jikokumon then
dived down again, touching off the ground then rushing forward in the direction
of the frozen Kakonmon.
"ENDLESS
ASSAULT!"
The two Digimon were only
an inch apart when time just stopped. Tao watched in amazement, Jikokumon's
blade enpowered with Time energy. For a full minute, nothing moved, and Tao was
wondering what was going on. Then he noticed the glow on the blade intensified
nearly ten fold in that one minute. In the next second, time moved again, and
Jikokumon slashed once against Kakonmon.
* * * * * *
One slash was multiplied by
a hundred when the Time powered blade struck the Devil Digimon. In that moment,
the Digi-Destined, the armour Digimon, and the Devil Digimon blasted back into
the present time, scaring the heck out of everyone. Kakonmon flew through the
air, Jikokumon passing by him, then changing back into the Rookie known as
Harriermon, exhausting all his energy in that final attack. The avian Digimon
looked up at the falling Devil, then at the other four Infinity Digimon.
"Do it now! Hit him
while he's weak!" Harriermon shouted out, snapping all the other four Digi-Destined
and Digimon out of their trance.
"COLD FURY!"
"SERPENT LANCE!" "DEFORMATION BLAST!" "QUASAR
BLADE!"
Ice shards surrounded the
energy serpent, which was propelled forward by a combination of a crimson orb
and volcanically hot beam. The resulting torpedo like blast hitting the falling
Kakonmon like a nuclear bomb, and when he was an inch from hitting the ground.
Energy blasted outwards in
a brilliant display of fireworks from four Infinity level Digimon. All Digimon
and Digi-Destined were forced to cover their eyes from the blinding light, and
they were singed by the amount of heat that was released.
Another full minute passed
in this confrontation before the light finally subsided, and the Digimon and
Digi-Destined alike were able to reveal their eyes once more.
Standing in a circle were
the five Digi-Destined. In the circle as well were the Rookie level Digimon of
each partner. No where was there a single sign of the Digimon known as
Kakonmon.
