-Chapter Eight-
As I stood in front of the hospital waiting to begin my all important duel with Vayle , T.K. ran up to me in a fit of anger.
"Davis, what were you thinking, making a deal like that, he's not that bad off whether you win or lose the duel, and if you lose and he takes Kari, what will we do?"
"I know, I'm sorry T.K., but the point is we would have lost that battle, you know that, I know that, he knows that, considering that fact, we needed him to like the deal and agree to go through with it, and besides," I continued, "this way if I lose, it's the same result as if we had lost before, but if I win we have time to prepare for the next battle."
From 20 feet away across the appointed battlefield, Vayle started yelling, "Hey Davis, hurry it up!"
"Ok, I'm ready!" I yelled as I dropped into a fighting stance. Then the duel began. Vayle charged me and tried a roundhouse kick on me. I blocked it easily, but when I stopped his foot, the impact of the blow threw me some 30 feet, straight through a nearby car window. I didn't understand how he could be that strong, but I just got up and tried again. As the duel dragged on, flurries of punches and kicks were exchanged, but while did not seem to have any effect, his continued to level me. He had power, I had to give him that, but the life of the woman I loved was on the line here. I had to win. With that in mind I lunged at him with every ounce of strength I had left. I jabbed him in the ribs, then feinted towards his gut, when he moved to defend his gut from my attack I tried to land a jump kick on the side of his head, but he was too fast. He just grabbed my ankle and whipped me around and down into the pavement like a rag doll. I hit so hard that the pavement underneath me cracked, my vision began to go black. No! I shook myself awake to see that he was walking over to claim his prize. He thought I was completely knocked out.
"No, I won't let you have her!" I yelled in fury, all of the sudden Veemon's body began to glow with a brilliant golden light. A beam shot out of Veemon and slammed straight into me. I could feel Vee's power seeping into me. It was incredible. Vayle looked stunned and a little worried, it made me feel good to see that he knew the situation was out of his control now. I ran forward and attacked him, he tried to counter, but now I was matching him blow for blow. Our ensuing battle did a lot of property damage to the surrounding cars and streets, but before too long it was clear that I was on top. I dealt one final uppercut to his jaw and it was over. He was down for good. I turned towards his digimon army.
"You heard the deal, take him back to the Digital World and don't return for a week."
A Devidramon walked forward and picked him up off the ground. Not long after that they all opened a gate and returned to the Digital World. My friends ran to me and began congratulating me. They all gave me a group hug.
"Davis, you were incredible!" exclaimed Kari.
Then, without warning, Tai fell over.
"Quick," I yelled, "let's get him back to his bed!"
T.K. and I picked him and carried him back to his bed. Around that time the other digidestined, who had been out getting a meal, returned to the hospital. After exchanging greetings with the ones I had not seen yet I explained what had just happened. They all sat down in a stunned silence, Izzy was the first to regain his composure and speak.
"So what do you think happened to give Davis that power?"
Before anyone could answer his question the digivices started beeping, we were getting a message from Gennai.
"I believe I can answer that, I've been watching you and I think I know what happened, Ok, as you all know a digimon uses the power of his human partner's soul to digivolve, well, this flow of power is two-way, the same way a digimon gains power from a human, a human can use the strength of a digimon," he cleared his breath then continued, "the problem is that no human who has this power and can control has ever been able to do so without a serious blow to his sanity, it's just too much power for the human mind to handle, they generally turn to the dark side."
After those last words his voice died out and we sat there in the heavy silence that followed. I broke the silence first to say, "Everyone, we have one week, we had better start preparing right away."
"What should we do?" asked Cody.
"Well, here's the plan, I want Kari to stay with Tai and Sora at all times, Joe, I want you and Mimi to try and get a hold of some footage of what just happened out here, go to City Hall, and try to get this area of the city evacuated."
"Ok," said Joe.
"Ken, I want you, Izzy, and Cody to get in touch with Gennai and try to organize some kind of detection system so we know when Dhamon returns."
"Ok Davis," replied Ken.
"Good, Now T.K., you and Matt both have Megas, so you will train with me starting tomorrow."
"Sounds like fun," quipped Matt.
"Yolei, you will be our go between, your job is to keep everyone informed of the other's progress."
"Fine with me," said Yolei.
"Ok everyone, you know your jobs, we start tomorrow so I hope you all get a good night's sleep, good night."
After they all left the room I turned to Tai's sleeping form on the bed.
"Tai, I know I'm not you, but I'll do my best to keep them all safe."
As I left the room, I thought I could just barely here Tai say,
"You'll do fine Davis."
To Be Continued…
I debated greatly in giving Davis the power, but in the end I decided to run with it. I will just say that the powers I gave Davis will actually develop the power and idea of the digimon and humans alike. I hope you approve of this idea and continue to read my story to see how the power thing turns out. Thanks a lot!
