MA: hey peoples. Time for the next big fight in this story and the time draws near for the final battle.
DIGIGEDDON PART FIVE: THE UNSEEN FORCE
In a garden of unusual flowers stood a lone being; he wore a blue outfit with puffy sleeves, and red boots. His skin was an off blue color, his hair was spiky and covered part of his eye and his ears were pointy and had yellow-balled earrings hanging from them. But it was the eyes that made his unique; they were large in small, slit like sockets that seemed to peer into your soul if you look at them long enough. Just then, a large man entered the garden, wearing a similar outfit as the first one but a different color. His skin color was a copper red color and his hair was long and white.
" Master." Said the large one.
" Yes, kibitomon?"
" Sire, the traveler has returned. He requests an audience with you."
" Fine. Send him to my chambers."
" Yes, sire."
The traveler was lead into a large room by kibitomon where the first being sat in a massive chair. Traveler wore a hooded cloak as he entered.
" Sire, the traveler." Kibitomon announced.
" Thank you. Leave us." He replied as his servant did as he was told and left.
" Approach." He said as Simms did as he asked.
" What have you to report?"
" Master, the subject I have been assigned to watch changed greatly."
" Ah, the son of the bearers of courage and love. How long have you watched him?"
" 16 years."
" Why such a short time?"
" He has advanced much in that time."
" I'll see for myself." He said as he turned the chair around to face a large orb floating without anything seemingly supporting it.
" Show me the battlefield of earth."
On his command, the orb came on like a TV and show the picture that the being asked for; odiba park as the digidestined with digimon, and the d3s stood opposite of the warlord on the burnt remains of the once green park.
" Show me the warlord."
The orb zoomed on the warlord with his arms crossed and a cocky smile on his face.
" He is the enemy your subject must face?"
" Yes."
" He's not that strong, compared to me."
" Of course master."
" Show me max."
The orb shifted its view to max, who had a very serious look on his face.
" Hmm. I see what you mean. The amount of potential power he can have is unlike anything I've seen. He could be the one. But his current power is too weak to defeat this foe."
" So you agree with me."
" Yes. A sacrifice is required. Someone close to him."
" Yes but who?"
" This one." he said as he pointed to his subject in question.
" Are you sure, sir?"
" Yes. Go. Relay the message."
" Yes sire." He said as he put his hood back on and left, leaving the being watching the orb.
" I'm sorry max. If there were any other but there isn't."
The stare down between max and the warlord was as thick as fog and it seemed nothing could break it.
" Well shall we dance?" said the warlord.
" No." said max to the shock of his friends and the warlord.
" NO?"
" I won't fight you unless you agree to my condition."
" And what is this condition, if I may ask?"
" I'll fight you if I choose the place we battle. I don't want to fight here where innocent people will get hurt."
" Very noble of you, my friend. Fine, I agree to your condition and will fight where you choose." The warlord grinned as he said this. Max turned to face the others who had questioning looks on their faces.
" Max, what in the blue HELL are you thinking?" asked matt.
" Yeah. I took him on and no one got hurt." Said tike.
" I appreciate your concern but I'm really doing it for me."
They looked at him questioningly after hearing his statement.
" I understand now what I've been prepared for, what I've waited for, what I must do; destroy the warlord. And I have to do it alone."
" But we can help you."
" No tai. I have to see this through by myself. If I win or lose, I must do it alone."
" Where will you fight him?" asked izzy.
" There's a town about a few miles south of here. It's where you guys fought blackWargreymon the first time he came here. It's abandoned now so there I can fight him without any distractions."
The group of humans and digimon had sorrow painted on their faces but slowly nodded their heads one after the other in acknowledgment. Max looked around with a grin at his friends and family, memorizing the features on each one. He shook hands with them until he came to the twins. He knelt down and put his arms on each of their shoulders.
" You two stay strong."
The two nodded as he stood up. He then stood in sora.
" I don't know what to say." She said.
" Then don't. I just want to say that past, present or future, you are my mother and I love you." He said as he embraced her in a hug, tears welling up in her eyes. Tai was behind and extended his hand.
" I don't know how your father felt about you but I, on the other hand, would have been very proud to have a son like you."
Max smiled as he shook his hand while still hugging sora. He then broke the hug and turned to keke, who had her head down. He put his hand under her chin and lifted her head to him.
" Don't cry. I'll be back."
" Promise?"
" Promise."
With that, they shared a deep, passionate kiss that lasted about 20 seconds. He then looked at blackWargreymon. They looked at each other, not saying a word, and nodded. Max's face switch to battle mode as the walked toward his opponent and stopped as his fist balled up.
" Well have you said your goodbye?"
" No, I was just making party preparations for when I beat your ass."
" So where shall we fight?"
" Just follow me."
With that, both men floated in the air and blasted off to the south. Everyone lingered as they watched the sky that max had once occupied.
" I'm going after him."
Everyone gasped as blackWargreymon said his declaration.
" But he said he wanted no one to help him." Said ken.
" I'm not gonna help him. I'm just going watch. This fight will be the biggest in the history of the world. I will not miss it. The eyes of a true warrior never stray from the spectacle of battle." He said as he fired into the sky like a rocket after his brother. Tike looked up at and an excited look crossed his face.
" I'm going too." He said.
" What?! You too?" asked TK.
" Yeah. BlackWargreymon's right. This is gonna be a great fight and I'll be damned if I'm gonna miss it. Besides, max needs all the support he can get."
" I'm coming too, bro." Said kara.
" If two got the ball to go, I'm going too." Said sam.
" If you think I'm gonna let my future husband die, your damn wrong." Stated keke.
" What about us?" asked Davis.
" You guys stay here and hopefully, we'll be back for the party." Sam said with a smile as he and the other flew off toward the field of battle. Tai then stood forward with a smile.
" Tai, what's up?" said matt.
" I gotta go too." He said to the shock of his fellow digidestined.
" But why?" asked a very worried sora.
" I can't explain it, sor. Just the thought of seeing them fight sends my blood boiling. Blackwargreymon was right; the eyes of a warrior, a true warrior, must never miss the sight of battle. I've gotta to do it."
Sora looked into his eyes and knew this was true. She nodded her head in acknowledgement as he put his hand on her cheek.
" You ready, Wargreymon?"
" Always, bud."
With that, both took off as their friends and family watched them leave and began to walk back to the center.
" You had better comeback, tai kamiya."
The air whizzed passed as max flew in front of the warlord, not know of the massive group following them. Max looked down as he watched the earth zoom pass him.
" Are we there yet?"
" Not yet."
Soon they arrive at the town in question. As max had thought, it was completely deserted, save a few dog and cars. Max smiled as he saw the place he wanted to fight at; the park. The park was near the mountain so there was a few cliffs in it. Max sped to the park and landed, followed by the warlord. Blackwargreymon landed on the cliff above them. The d3s landed soon after.
" So, you couldn't resist the lure of a good fight?"
" For your information, we're here to support max." said keke.
" And yeah, we're here for the fight too." Added tike as tike and Wargreymon landed.
" Has the fight started?" asked Tai.
" No, we arrived just after they did." Said blackWargreymon.
" Cool."
Unbeknownst to all of them, three men made their way to the site of battle.
" Chief, I think that's them." One said holding a camera over his shoulder.
" You sure?" said another, setting up a receiver.
" Yep, jimmy. I followed Mr. Ishida directions to the letter." Said chief.
" So you that green guy is the warlord cat we been hearing about?" said the cameraman, focusing his lens.
" Yeah, jack. I think so. It looks like something is about to happen."
" It looks like that kid is gonna fight him." Said jack.
" He looks cocky. So you getting a good feed?" Jimmy asked
" Yep, it's clear as a bell."
" I'm getting a picture." Said izzy adjusting the TV monitor. All of the remaining digidestined and everyone else gathered around the monitor, as it showed max, with his back to the camera, and the warlord.
" That was great idea matt." Said Mr. ishida.
" Hey, I guess if we can't fight with him, we can as least watch."
The view then changed to the cliff above, showing blackWargreymon, the d3s, Wargreymon, and Tai watching the band.
" Hey look there's tai and the others." Pointed out Kari.
" He had better be careful." Said sora as the camera went back to the two combatants.
" Well are you ready to battle?" the warlord said arrogantly.
" Not yet." Max said coolly.
His hand unclipped the strap holding his sword, causing it to drop to the ground with a thud. He then removed his gloves and threw them to the ground. He finally removed his brown jacket, leaving his black-strapped muscle shirt the only clothing he had on his upper body, showing off his well-defined arms and chest.
" I see some one's been going to the gym." The warlord said.
Max said nothing to him as he removed his ribbon as he transformed into his ascendant form. The warlord looked unimpressed. Max looked up, crossed his arms over his head, and as he brought his arms down, he yelled and started to power up. The trademark aura appeared around as the ground began to shake. Those around him felt his power go up as the wind kicked up behind him, when suddenly another, much larger, spherical aura appeared around him, causing the earth to crack and break. The views on the cliff marveled at the amount of power max was generating while the warlord tried to hold his ground as parts of it rose into the air. Veins popped out of his arms and heads while his eyes went blank from his power.
" Whoa!" said jack.
" What?" said chief.
" I don't know what that kid is doing but it's messing up the reception."
" Damn." Said jimmy checking the equipment as the chief looked on.
Max continued his power trip while his friends watched in amazement.
" I never thought..."
" Max had..."
" This much..."
" Raw power..."
" In my life."
BlackWargreymon merely smiled at their amazement.
Fools, they have no idea.
Max finally relaxed as his aura returned to normal with a smile on his face.
" Well, well. It appears that you've learned a few things." Said the warlord.
" Thanks. I didn't know I was here to impress you. Now time to rock." Said max.
" Bring it on, my friend."
" Ready for the pain?" max said as he outstretched his knee and shifted his weight on it. He then began to power up rapidly, causing the ground to rip apart. Suddenly, large boulders ripped from the ground and surrounded him. Max then threw his arm forward, sending the boulders flying at the warlord and burying him. The warlord laughed as he dug himself out of the pile of rock.
" Is this the best you can do, throwing rocks?" he said as he looked around only to find his foe had vanished.
" Where are you?"
" Right here, asshole!"
Coming out of nowhere, max caught the warlord with a flying knee to the side of the head. He landed on the other side, dashed back and caught him with a punch on the other side of his head. He rounded his attack out with a roundhouse kick to his face, sending him spinning to the ground. Max stood across from the warlord's downed body. The warlord struggled to his feet just as max resumed his attack with an elbow to the gut. He began to punch every part of him at super speed, creating dints in his armor like hide. Max then caught him with an uppercut, sending him skyward. Max, using his super speed, appeared above him and kicked him as he flew toward him, sending him speeding back to earth. As he fell, max zoomed to and away from the warlord's body, delivering a blow with each pass. Max landed just as his opponent's bruised body hit the ground. His body twitched as he got to his feet to see getting ready to attack again. Max shot out his arm, extended his thumb, pointer and ring fingers as he began to power up again. The warlord looked into his eyes and saw that this fight was much different than his "fight" with tike. He was now fighting a warrior bent on killing him. An energy beam from two of his fingers cut through the tyranny, causing him to back flip and land on his neck. The onlookers, both there and watch on TV, cheered as it appeared that max had defeated him even though max didn't smile or cheer with them. Suddenly, the warlord carefully made his way to his feet with a massive hole in his mid-section as blood poured from his face.
" That was a good attack." He said.
" Thanks. Now I can see what you had for breakfast."
" You think you've defeated me, boy? Think again!" he boosted as the massive hole began to shirk until it all but closed up. Max had shock written all over his face, as was everyone else. The warlord stood defiantly as max retook his fighting stance and his aura returned.
" What? Did you think regrowing limbs was the extent of my powers?"
" Do I look worried?"
" You should for you see it is my turn."
The warlord slowly began to walk slowly towards max, as he stood ready for anything. Suddenly, the warlord shot forward and caught max with a punch to the jaw. The vile taste of blood filled his mouth, as max was sent backward into the Cliffside. Just as he was about to get to his feet, the warlord caught him with a knee to the stomach, causing him to spit up more blood, splattering on the ground. He then began to punch him in the face with a session of lefts and right, followed by a jab to the gut.
" What's going on? Max was dominating him just a few minutes ago but now he's getting pounded." Said Tai.
" It's the warlord." Said blackWargreymon.
" What?"
" Somehow, he was able to increase his power without max knowing. And since max is at his best, he doesn't stand a chance."
" Oh, shit!" said the twins.
Max threw a desperation punch but caught only a chop to the back of the head, sending him falling to the ground.
" This is pathetic. I'm not even at full power and you're on the ground already. This can't be all the power you have in you."
Max stood and threw a punch but the warlord caught it in his hand, twisting it.
" I expected more of a fight from you max. You've disappointed me."
Max threw another punch from his other arm but had the same result as the first only this time, the warlord turned it into a bear hug.
" Come on! Show that power that the ancient prophesies spoke of! Show me the power that will destroy me!" he laughed as he sneezed max, getting an agonizing scream out of him. Max, out of desperation, head butted his captor between the eyes, causing him to release him. Max punched him across the face as he stumbled down. Max's hand began to glow and with a roar, fired an energy attack at his face. The warlord passed through it as if it were nothing and kicked him in annoyance.
" Is this the best you have to offer?" he said as max got up, wiping the blood from his lip.
" Do you have anymore power?"
" Keep pushing me and you'll find out."
" That's right. The last time you increased you strength was in the arena, when I made you angry........................... after I attacked your friends." He said as he looked up at the people on the cliff.
" What are you... no. NO! This fight between us. Not them!"
" Oh, I wouldn't dream of laying a hand on them." He said as he squatted down and began to strain. Suddenly from the stinger like appendage, came seven misshapen blobs. Slowly the blobs took the shape of miniature warlords. They looked like him except they were blue and, from the sound of their laughing voices, pretty insane.
" What the hell!" said max.
" Didn't know I could do that, huh? They are going to be my little tools."
" But I you said you wouldn't attack them!"
" I said I wouldn't attack; I didn't say anything about my children, did I?"
" Why I'll..."
" You'll do nothing! If you interfere, I kill you now. Besides, they'll just play with them. Now children, don't kill them, just play with them."
The mini-warlords nodded as they looked up at the group on the cliff.
" What's going on?" asked keke.
" Get ready to fight." Said blackWargreymon as the others looked at him questionably. Their questions were answered as the mini-warlord took flight and flew at them with a very sick look in their eyes.

DIGIGDDON PART SIX: MY SACRIFICE
Only two more chapters 'til the big battle.
DIGIGEDDON PART FIVE: THE UNSEEN FORCE

" 16 years."

" He has advanced much in that time."

The onlookers, both there and watch on TV, cheered as it appeared that max had defeated him even though max didn't smile or cheer with them. Suddenly, the warlord carefully made his way to his feet with a massive hole in his mid-section as blood poured from his face.
" That was a good attack." He said.
" Thanks. Now I can see what you had for breakfast."
" You think you've defeated me, boy? Think again!" he boosted as the massive hole began to shirk until it all but closed up. Max had shock written all over his face, as was everyone else. The warlord stood defiantly as max retook his fighting stance and his aura returned.
" What? Did you think regrowing limbs was the extent of my powers?"
" Do I look worried?"
" You should for you see it is my turn."
The warlord slowly began to walk slowly towards max, as he stood ready for anything. Suddenly, the warlord shot forward and caught max with a punch to the jaw. The vile taste of blood filled his mouth, as max was sent backward into the Cliffside. Just as he was about to get to his feet, the warlord caught him with a knee to the stomach, causing him to spit up more blood, splattering on the ground. He then began to punch him in the face with a session of lefts and right, followed by a jab to the gut.
" What's going on? Max was dominating him just a few minutes ago but now he's getting pounded." Said Tai.
" It's the warlord." Said blackWargreymon.
" What?"
" Somehow, he was able to increase his power without max knowing. And since max is at his best, he doesn't stand a chance."
" Oh, shit!" said the twins.
Max threw a desperation punch but caught only a chop to the back of the head, sending him falling to the ground.
" This is pathetic. I'm not even at full power and you're on the ground already. This can't be all the power you have in you."
Max stood and threw a punch but the warlord caught it in his hand, twisting it.
" I expected more of a fight from you max. You've disappointed me."
Max threw another punch from his other arm but had the same result as the first only this time, the warlord turned it into a bear hug.
" Come on! Show that power that the ancient prophesies spoke of! Show me the power that will destroy me!" he laughed as he sneezed max, getting an agonizing scream out of him. Max, out of desperation, head butted his captor between the eyes, causing him to release him. Max punched him across the face as he stumbled down. Max's hand began to glow and with a roar, fired an energy attack at his face. The warlord passed through it as if it were nothing and kicked him in annoyance.
" Is this the best you have to offer?" he said as max got up, wiping the blood from his lip.
" Do you have anymore power?"
" Keep pushing me and you'll find out."
" That's right. The last time you increased you strength was in the arena, when I made you angry........................... after I attacked your friends." He said as he looked up at the people on the cliff.
" What are you... no. NO! This fight between us. Not them!"
" Oh, I wouldn't dream of laying a hand on them." He said as he squatted down and began to strain. Suddenly from the stinger like appendage, came seven misshapen blobs. Slowly the blobs took the shape of miniature warlords. They looked like him except they were blue and, from the sound of their laughing voices, pretty insane.
" What the hell!" said max.
" Didn't know I could do that, huh? They are going to be my little tools."
" But I you said you wouldn't attack them!"
" I said I wouldn't attack; I didn't say anything about my children, did I?"
" Why I'll..."
" You'll do nothing! If you interfere, I kill you now. Besides, they'll just play with them. Now children, don't kill them, just play with them."
The mini-warlords nodded as they looked up at the group on the cliff.
" What's going on?" asked keke.
" Get ready to fight." Said blackWargreymon as the others looked at him questionably. Their questions were answered as the mini-warlord took flight and flew at them with a very sick look in their eyes.
