Chapter 9: Queen Hikari Takes a Stand
The digidestined children watched as the two figures of Queen Hikari and Ladymyotismon fought above them. The energy that was emanating from them was so powerful that the children could sense it. It wasn't until Queen Hikari stopped and hovered a few feet away from Ladymyotismon did the children see how battered and bruised the two were. Though it seemed that Ladymyotismon was still stronger than Hikari.
"Just as when my brother killed you, you are weak and pathetic! This is all too easy!" Ladymyotismon roared and surged at Queen Hikari sending the girl flying into one of the many buildings. While all the other digimon and the digidestined children could do, was stand and look on with utter horror as Hikari was thrashed around. Breathing hard from Ladymyotismon's assault, Queen Hikari struggled to stand up straight, her body sore and bleeding. Ladymyotismon merely laughed at her.
"You will not be laughing, when you are defeated," Queen Hikari said as she reached up and pulled a feather from her wings, the feather, turning into a silvery blade of her sword. Ladymyotismon blinked and smirked at her.
"You really are pathetic, a futile last attempt to win an impossible battle. Not only will your soul be trapped forever, but you have sacrificed the life of that weakling child!" she grinned.
"What!? No! Hikari!" Taichi yelled, Yamato and Koushirou holding him back. Hikari would die if she lost the fight, she needed help, but the digimon were too tired to do anything. And even if Gatomon could digivolve, she was in pain, she was feeling every blow that Queen Hikari was. At Taichi's outburst Ladymyotismon turned to face them.
"Such insolence, I should have finished you all off before this happened!" she yelled and aimed her hand at him and the other children.
"NO!" Hikari yelled, the voice was a mixture of her own and Queen Hikari's. Just as the blast reached the children, it never hit, Mimi opened her eyes and looked around, the other's were okay. Ladymyotismon was laughing uncontrollably. She looked behind the group of children and paled.
"Hikari!" she yelled. The other's opened their eyes and Queen Hikari lay there, her body bruised and burnt from the blast from Ladymyotismon. Takeru was the first at her side.
"Hikari…Hikari please wake up," he whispered. Taichi knelt on her other side and supported her head with his hand he and the other children began to cry. Hikari had been the most innocent of them all, the sweetest angel among them all.
"Ha! Your savior has fallen! Now you all share her fate!" Ladymyotismon yelled as she aimed another blast of energy at them. Takeru clenched his fists tightly and yelled furiously, his body being wrapped in a warm white light.
