Me: I don't own Digimon, nor do I own "Do Ya Really Want To Play" off the Totally Pokemon CD. Who knew I'd be using music from differential CD's?
Davis: What?
Me: Never mind! I've used big words again, haven't I?
Davis: Hey! What's that supposed to mean?
Me: Nothing. Absolutely nothing at all.
Digimon
The Return of the Evil Clone
Chap. XIII-The Ultimate Test
(A/N: I know this chapter's supposed to be titled "The Battle of the Millennium," but, seriously, these battles have been outdated and I like my current title a whole lot better.)
Just look in my eyes, tell me you've got all that it takes and much more
All you gotta do is say
Stop telling me lies, show me with every move that you make you can score
Tell me that you want to play
You can feel it, but can't steal it 'cause boy, I got the magic touch
I stood alongside the other DigiDestined, poised for battle-Sora, Davis, Yolei, Kari, Matt, Ken, T.K., and as much as I hated to admit it, my own clone Taichi as we faced Daemon for possibly the final time. We all simultaneously rose our hands and they started glowing brightly with different colors that were symbolic to our Crests-those of us who had Crests. If I had any thoughts during this battle, it was this-we had to win, because if we didn't, then the other DigiDestined who'd stayed behind didn't have a chance against Daemon's power.
Chorus: Can you beat the best with the power you possess?
Will you step up to the fight?
Can you pass the test; are you frightened to confess that you just can't get it right?
You can win or lose but you gotta pay your dues
Step up or step away, do you really want to play?
We all sent off multiple beams at Daemon as one big beam with Agumon and Biyomon at our side-and he deflected them all in one fell swoop!
"That's…not possible!" Ken gasped out.
"Why do you think we sent him here in the first place-so we could get rid of him!" Davis replied.
"The next time we need to get rid of a Digimon who's got the fire capacity to destroy the Digital and the Real Worlds, we should just try outer space!" I said heatedly.
"Face it, DigiDestined-you've lost! There's no way your powers can match up to my own! So just make it easier on yourselves and surrender peacefully." Daemon suggested.
"Fat chance, pal! You want to conquer these worlds-you go through us!" I grasped Sora's hand and she held on to it tightly. I didn't even have to look down to see that our Digimon were Digivolving.
"Agumon…
"Biyomon…"
"Warp-Digivolve to…WARGREYMON!!!/PHOENIXMON!!!"
"Okay, guys…LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
The challenge is yours, take it
You've backed down before, now prove to me you control your destiny
Keep it steady, get ready
Show me that you got the stuff
Chorus: Can you beat the best with the power you possess?
Will you step up to the fight?
Can you pass the test; are you frightened to confess that you just can't get it right?
You can win or lose but you gotta pay your dues
Step up or step away
With the assistance of our Digivices, we were able to successfully fly up toward our enemy and send multiple beams of energy at Daemon, which caused definite damage-but not enough to destroy him! I sighed as I took a deep breath, knowing what had to be done if we were to have any chance of winning. As I headed up toward Daemon with WarGreymon by me, Sora came and stopped me-and you've finally caught up to us.
"Tai…don't do it, please. He's too powerful for you to handle alone."
I smiled and caressed her cheek gently with my hand.
"I've got you by my side. That's all the extra power I need. Don't forget-I'll always love you." I bent down and gave Sora a kiss that could've shattered the heavens, if that were possible. A moment or so later, I pulled away and her dreamy state was soon broken by the sight of WarGreymon and me heading straight for Daemon!
"Tai…NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Let yourself go-this is my show
Watch me when I play
Change your mind set and you'll get better every day
I conjured up a very powerful ball of energy and aimed it for Daemon, just as WarGreymon was powering up his own attack.
"Ready, Tai?"
"Always!"
I sent the ball of energy off at Daemon just as WarGreymon sent his own.
"TERRA FORCE!!!"
The two attacks collided against Daemon and exploded with such tremendous force that I thought we'd finished him off for good! Unfortunately, that wasn't how it ended. He was still alive, albeit, barely, but alive!
Just as I was about to consider a kamikaze mission, I gasped in shock as Taichi shot right by me, a very powerful energy ball in his hands.
Chorus: Can you beat the best with the power you possess?
Will you step up to the fight?
Can you pass the test; are you frightened to confess that you just can't get it right?
You can win or lose but you gotta pay your dues
Step up or step away…
"What are you doing?" I managed to cry out in shock.
"Think about it-I'm supposed to be pure evil, yet I'm willing to give up my life so that you can live yours to the fullest. Doesn't that mean there's some good in me somewhere? Take care of our girl and always remember me-I am a part of you after all." Before I could stop him, Taichi connected his energy beam, as well as his Digivice, to Daemon and an explosion that was twice as big as the one before it occurred! Everything went white for a moment…
…Then, the next thing I knew, I was back at my dorm room! It looked normal again; even the missing wall was back! And so was everyone else! Before I could pull Sora into my arms, Gennai came back in through my computer. There was a solemn look on his face.
Epilogue next up! R&R!
