I'm sorry its been taking me so long to get these chapters out. My brother recently moved out and took his computer with him, so now if I want to type I have to wait for my sister to get off our old computer, and she's on 14 hours a day average. So from now on it will take longer to get these chapters online, sorry. Anyway, please read and review as always.

Destiny of Courage
-Chapter Eleven-
3 months later...
The war, which people have been calling The War for Existence, has been going on for around three months now. Almost three fourths of Japan has been completely destroyed, but we have also managed to close and seal around half of the dimensional gateways. It was about halfway through the first month that we had our first casualty of war, Gomamon died protecting Joe from the lethal attack of several Devidramon. Some good did come from Gomamon's death though, his life-force sealed the dimensional gateway. I had been about to comfort Joe by telling him that we knew Gomamon would be back when Gennai finally told me how the other gateways had been sealed. He told me that every time we closed a gateway a digimon had sacrificed itself in the Digital World to seal the gate, and in doing so gave up there right to be reborn. Gomamon would not be back. It was not until then that it hit me how terrible the price was that we would have to pay if we were going to win the War for Existence. Now, as the war goes on, Joe has become a broken man, only the support and companionship of Mimi and his other friends keep him from completely giving into despair. Despite his loss, he continues to be a valuable assistance as he coordinates the medics that help with the wounded who were not evacuated quickly enough.
The others fair better than he, for the most part. Izzy was seriously injured not long ago, and now he is forced to stay at a shelter and coordinate our movements and information through use of his computer and the D-terminals. Tentomon stays by his side at all times. Even though our team has, for all practical purposes, lost four of its members, we continue to fight on valiantly. Tai and I do our best to lead the Digidestined as well as we know how, but neither of us are soldiers, and it is becoming more difficult to see an end to this with each passing day. I would have just given up and died a long time ago if it weren't for Kari. Every time it looks like I am losing my faith, she walks over to me, wraps me in her arms, and tells me that she believes in me. With her at my side, I think I could face any army with courage.

"Ok everybody, this is it, lock and load," I hated saying that, since I had once sworn a long time ago never to use a gun, but in war everything changes. As I looked around at everyone loading there weapons and all the Digimon digivolving into their most powerful forms, I thought of how much we had changed from a bunch of kids who were chosen to save the Digital World. I knew that today someone was probably going to get hurt, since this gateway was guarded by a large force led by a particularly nasty combination of Vennomyotismon and Piedmon.
"Is everyone ready!?"
"Sir, yes sir!"
I hated it when they said that, even though they were joking.
"Ok then, let's get started, Wargreymon you know the plan!"
"Right!"
Wargreymon quickly flew high into the air to get the enemy's attention, and when they all were looking at him he let out a beastly, draconic roar and yelled to attack.
"Terra Force!"
He launched his attack, a huge ball of flaming plasma, straight into the center of their army. Then, while he pressed the attack, the rest of us swung around and flanked them from both sides, closing the jaws of our trap. I was getting pretty good at coming with strategies like this, lucky me, I'm good at killing. As the battle raged on I began to lose count of all the digimon I had killed myself using my assault rifle. Suddenly, from off to the left, I heard a scream of pain. A human scream. I quickly ran that way, killing any dark digimon that dared to get in my way. Before long, I came upon a female form lying lifeless on the broken pavement. I lifted her into my arms and wiped some of the blood off of her face so I could see who it was. It was Yolei, sincere, loving Yolei, now dead because of this Godforsaken war. From directly in front of me I heard bone chilling laughter.
"Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!"
I looked up to see who could be laughing and saw none other than Piedmon himself.
"If you like, I could kill you too, so you can be with your friend for all eternity, Ha Ha Ha!"
Once again, the invisible barrier inside me snapped. From across the field of battle Gigaveedramon began to glow, a beam of golden light shot out of him straight at me, filling me with his power. Piedmon appeared to be stunned by the sight, I didn't give him a chance to recover his composure. Quicker than the eye could follow, I got behind him grabbed him with both of my hands, and brought his back down on my knee. I pulled the two halves of him down so hard that instead of just snapping his back, I tore him clean in two. His blood splattered my body. I didn't even stop to think, I just started tearing my way through the entire enemy army. They soon began to run from me in fear, I was the hand of death come upon them. When I was finished with them all, including Vennomyotismon, the power left me. I looked over to where my friends were standing and saw that Tai had his hand on Kari's back as she bent over and vomited. When I turned and looked at the piles of torn and bloody bodies, and then down at my blood and entrail splattered body, I had to bend over and vomit too. After I had recovered, I had Gigaveedramon raze the whole place, including Yolei's body, I did not want to see her lifeless face again.
After that I walked over and told the others that Yolei had been killed.
"We know," answered Tai, "Hawkmon told me that Yolei had ordered him to get to safety with her last breath."
Around him the others were gathered in a circle weeping.
"Come on everyone," I called, "It's time to get back to base, Izzy will want a full report."
As we silently walked back I stayed away from the others. I doubt they wanted to be close to me with the memory of the massacre I had just committed so fresh in their minds. When we got back to base I washed and changed into fresh clothes. That night, when Kari and I were alone in our quarters, I finally talked again, I had to voice my worries.
"Kari, what am I becoming, that wasn't even a battle, I massacred those digimon," I said with my head in my hands.
"Davis, you did what you had to do, and you were feeling grief over the loss of a friend."
"I know but it just seemed so wrong."
She walked over and put her arms around me before saying, "Davis, this is war, as much as we hate it, we have no choice but to fight it, I know you always try to do what's best for all of us."
I put my arm around her shoulders and kissed her on the forehead.
"Thanks Kari."
To Be Continued...
I'm not very good at the rating system so I'd like it if someone would tell me if I should change this to R. In other news, probably two or three more chapters, and epilogue, and then it's on to writing the sequel. Please read them all. Until next time, fairwell!
