I don't own digimon. ^_^
He was in trouble and he knew it. He was trapped in a force field with no where to run and with two…things that wanting to kill him. Not just that but he had no back up and his mind wouldn't focus on his situation. It was the dark of night and the beast was slowly walking towards him but he kept seeing flashes of his vision. He saw the beady eyes that are on the werewolf but in his vision they had crimson coloured spots surrounding them. That was how it was in his vision. He also remembered Black from his vision. The same as in his vision. Cape, black cloths, menacing smirk… everything except he wasn't on the building in the vision but in front of the window. Small changes from how he saw it to what it really was. It wouldn't have bugged him if he didn't feel frightened from the thought of how the crimson will get on the wolf's face and the fact that if Black was on the same ground that he was, he might have a fighting chance.
He looked at the wolf. Seeing at how close it had become. He realized it was going to make a fast move soon and that Matt had to be ready. He held the card tightly in his hand with out bending it and focused on an attack that he would use. He remembered that electricity worked the first time so decided to try it again.
A silver light yet again engulfed him and he jumped at the wolf but it had learned from the first time. He did this and the wolf jumped out of the way. Matt landed on his front as the silver light faded and he rolled on his back just as the wolf was about to pounce on him and he escaped it. He quickly stood up and moved back just on time to escape the wolf's massive claws. His white shirt, though, got ripped in the process. The beast stumbled forward as Matt moved back, yet again, avoiding it's claws. He moved back again but this time tripped and fell back the beast jumped in the air with every attention to land on Matt when Matt put up and shield in which the best landed on. ZAP. The wolf was sent back when it touched the shield. Matt stood up again and made an energy ball in his hand. He through the ball at the beast but he missed the target. By this time the werewolf was on his feet and running towards Matt in full speed. He formed another energy ball in his hand and through it towards the beast. It hit but had little effect.
The best reached matt, lifted it's large paw, and hit Matt in the side with it. Matt went flying into the glass wall of the music store but the glass didn't break. Matt fell on the ground in a heap. He clenched his stomach and slowly picked himself up from the ground and looked at the werewolf which was staring at Matt.
Black, from on top of the store laughed mockingly, "You do have a lot of spunk don't you kid." He said. "Unfortunately it won't help you this time. You'll soon see." Matt didn't answer. He hated this position he was in. He looked along the street out side the force field seeing if Max was coming but Max wasn't. Not yet anyways.
He looked back at the werewolf and it was yet again coming towards Matt. Matt had to admit he was running out of ideas. Max nor Matt had ever been so close to loosing and Matt was sure that this time he was doomed but wasn't about to give up hope just yet.
Matt then got an idea. He felt the power from inside the card flow through his veins as he began the attack. A blue light flew out from Matt and entwined it's self around the wolf. It started being lifted from the ground up into the air. But it didn't just stay there, baffled. It kept rising and rising and rising until it hit the top of the force field. It screeched in pain as it touched the top. After a moment Matt finally let it fall to the ground in which it recovered quickly and stunned Matt to know that it was barely affected.
Yet again his visions plagued his mind. He knew that if something would save him now it would be hidden with in his own mind. He remembered seeing the beast and then after that he saw black and then after that… "Of course." He told himself. At least this way he had a chance.
He looked at the card that was in his hand and at the werewolf. He then got a look of determination on his face and he through his hard in the air above him in which it stayed. It slowly started spinning and a silver light escaped from it. Matt closed his eyes and focused all his energy on this attack that he hoped would save his life. They won't expect this… at least not from him. The silver light flowed up wards and seemed to be forming an object. Finally a solid object was made… a sword. It had a blue handle and red diamond in the centre. He opened his eyes and narrowed them on the wolf. The sword slowly drifted down towards him. He gripped it in his hand. With the other hand he grabbed the card from above him. He could still feel the magic working from with in the card but ignored it and focused on the job at hand.
He placed the card in his front pocket ready to be used if what he was trying didn't work. He held the sword up, ready to be used, and ran at the werewolf. The beast tried to move out of the way but he wasn't able to this time and the sword cut across the beasts side and blood splattered in to air and onto the wolfs fur and Matt. Matt ran till his was far enough away to keep the wolf from getting him. He turned around the see the side view of the creature. It's eyes were showing pain and it's bottom jaw hung open. If Matt had not known that it wanted to kill him he might of actually felt sorry for it.
The beast just stood there not really paying attention he had not expected that at all and he was a bit in shock. He looked towards Matt and saw Matt, still standing, challenging him to keep fighting. A rage flooded it and now he wanted to kill the blonde before him more then ever before. Anger blinded his judgment and he ran towards the boy.
Matt jumped out of the way, again swinging the blade at it. More blood flew into the air as the swipe of the blade glided through the beast's skin. It howled in pain but it didn't stop him from attacking. Matt jumped back as the best came at him. He swung at the beast again and again with each new attack the beast would do.
"STOP!!!" Black ordered of the werewolf but it did not listen. "I SAID STOP!!!" Yet again it ignored the calls that could have saved it's life. But instead it leaped into the air and towards Matt. Matt held up the sword and as the wolf came down the sword penetrated it's stomach and fell on Matt who fell back as the beast fell on him and gave it's final breath. Matt pushed at the creature on top of him. The being would not budge.
"Heh. Pitiful." Matt heard Black say. "To bad it didn't listen. Oh well. Dumb beings deserve to die." Matt heard a thud on the ground a bit away from him. He assumed that it was Black now on ground level. Matt struggled to reach for the card in his pocket. When he had it in his head the sword returned back to the card and blood really flowed out from the beast now that the sword wasn't stopping as much of it anymore. Then he used the card to help lift this being off himself. The blue light covered the werewolf and it lifted off the ground. Matt got up and moved away from when he was lying. Then he put the wolf back in his resting place.
"Impressive." Black said now paying attention to Matt. "I didn't expect you to do so well. But you did come out a mess."
Matt looked at his blood covered clothing and the small cuts that he had on his harms. The T-shirt he had on had been torn and a scrap from one of the claws that just barely touching him showed well on his pale skin. "I have to admit that I look better then your 'pup' over there."
'True." Said Black. "But now you must defeat me and from the accouter you had with him," he said referring to the werewolf, "You probably don't have much of you power left."
"I doubt I'll need much for you." Matt mocked.
"Shall we see?"
"Not until I mention one more thing. You're the one keeping this force field up, right?" Matt questions. Black nodded. "Your power must be low as well."
"Oh but I have far more then you do. I have been in training for my magic for fifteen years before I went out on my own. That was ten years before and I have never lost a fight. This force field is only using a fraction of my power." He smirked. Matt really started to hate that smirk.
"Fine." Matt said at the same time as he called himself a baka mentally. "Then lets get this over with."
"Lets." Was Black's answer. He through the sides of his cape over his shoulders to help his arms move more freely. Matt new he would loose if he fought all alone. He was running low on his energy and this guy was way more experienced then him. He took in a deep breaths…held it… then breathed out. He took the card slowly out of his pocket and held it tight in his grip ready for anything.
Black looked at the young boy with menacing eyes. He held his hand out in front and began to make an attack that wouldn't kill Matt but wouldn't exactly heal over night. It was a ball composed of blue fire. He through it at Matt. Matt created a shield that went in front of him and blocked the attack. His felt his some of his power fluid out as the attack was made. Another blue fire ball when flying at his shield. More of his power was gone it was at this point that he realized the guy wasn't trying to get Matt but was trying to get him to loose almost all his power. He remember that Jenn had told him that if you were to loose all you power you would die. That's what Black's trying to do. He told himself. But he didn't have any other choice then to stop the attacks.
"Why don't you pick on some one you own size?" Came a shout from out side the force field. Matt turned to see who it was and was surprised, happy, and relieved to see it was…
"MAX!!!" He shouted to his friend. He looked at Black and then remembered what he was told about Max not being able to get through to Matt. He looked back at Max. Max was looking at Matt with a horror stricken face. Matt then remembered about the blood on his cloths. "Don't worry. The blood. It's not mine."
"Pity. Isn't it?" Said Black to Max. "I see you came to make it more convenient for me to take you both back to Massar."
"Don't bet on it." Max said hiding any bit of fear he had. "Leave him alone. He's can't fight you any longer. So forget about him."
Black looked at Matt who looked almost ready to pass out from exhaustion. "Why should I? It's him that we need. But you probably won't know that would you."
"What do you mean? He's not even a real magic user." Max asked the same question that ran through Matt's head.
Black laughed. "Didn't you ever question why the boy was brought into this life? Did you ever wonder why Massar was training so many magic users when he, obviously, doesn't have much of a couscous?"
"Not really." Said Max. "But now I do?"
"It's because of his visions. The key to the future. If you know it or not…" he said turning to Matt. "You have then. There is a book in Massar's chambers. The book is called 'The book of the past.' This book says of everything that has happened and says of everything that will be repeated. Boy, you are not the first vision carrier in history… but the second. Massar read about that and searched for you ever since you were born. He wanted to find you and turn you evil for when you did acquire your 'gifts' you would be more then happy to share your for sightings with him. He was young himself, not as young as you mind me, but still young when he read this. It was years until he came up with his plan."
"Plan to do what?" Max said.
"World domination of course. At first I didn't like the idea but he had a good point. He said that weaklings, people with out magic, rule the world. He thought it was disgraceful that such weak beings could rule the world and the strong must hide there power or be taken away for experiments. So Massar began to make a society for 'strong beings'. There he would train and teach others there full extent of there magic. Together the powerful with survive and rule.
"But Massar was never one to make mistakes. He searched for you and when he found you he brought you in with the full intention of getting rid of every bit of goodness other then loyalty that you have. If Massar where to fail at becoming ruler then you, boy, would tell him how and he would avoid it. Unfortunately, if that wouldn't work you would be forced to help him. You wouldn't want to know the consequences."
"But I don't get it." Max said regaining some attention. "But why would you not just kill me. After all I knew about the society. And not like Massar needed me. He has hundreds of others to do his dirty work."
"True." Black said. "But, at the time, you were the only friend we knew the boy had. And because of that if he didn't help us willingly…"
"You would use me as a hostage." Max said as realization hit him.
"Exact ally." Black smirked sadistically. "But enough with the chit chat. It's time to work and I've got what I came from."
"No." Matt said as he made his tired body stand up straighter. "I won't ever…help Massar with his plan." Matt said having to take a gasp in the middle of what he was saying.
"Well we'll see about that?" Black said as he advanced on Matt.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!" Max shouted from outside the field. But Black didn't even flutter an eyelash to prove that he heard the harsh tone in Max's voice.
"Matt held his hands in the shapes of claws. Yellow sparks flew from them that sent a chilled feeling through his spine that told him that if he were to make just one more attack then he would be out cold. But Matt was willing to do anything to keep this psycho away from him.
Matt mind raced. What could I do? If Jenn is right then if I use up all my power I will die but on the other hand, I'm not actually a magic user so maybe it's different but should I take the chance. The thoughts of what one more attack could do frightened him but what was worse, to Matt anyway, is being used to help destroy his family and friends. He had to try something.
Matt closed his eyes and concentrated. He was having a hard time bringing the energy out of the card. He heard the quiet steps of Black coming towards him. He could feel the gravity pushing on him to go down and give. Finally he felt the magic seep out of the card and slowly flow through his veins. He tried to make it move faster but it wouldn't.
"Hey. Leave the kid alone." A new voice entered Matt's thoughts. His eyes snapped open and the power returned to the card. Matt looked in the direction that Black was looking and saw, standing in an ally beside the music shop, was Mack. A smile spread across Matt's face as he realized that he might not have to take a chance like the one he was about to take..
"Who the hell are you?" Black said a bit confused.
"Me? You don't have to know that. But you do have to know that if you're planning to hurt him then you're planning deal with me."
"Is that so?" Mack nodded. "Well I doubt that you would want to loose to me.
I don't show mercy…Just…to warn you."
"I don't think I'll need any." Mack said sounding sure of himself.
"You think you can fight me…" Black then looked over his shoulder to where Matt was standing then said, "For him?"
"Yes I do. Got a problem with that."
"No… but now you do." Black said with a smirk. He walked towards Mack when he reached the end of the force field he stopped. He waved a hand in front of the force field and a door exit appeared. He then walked out and as soon as he did the gap disappeared.
Matt looked at Max with pleading eyes as he realized he was still trapped. Max took the hint and decided that while Mack kept Black busy he could free Matt and he set forth to do so.
Not the slightest bit of worry wore on Mack's face. He looked confident but not cautious. He stood with his arms crossed over his chest looking with half open eyes at Black who wore a straight face.
"So," Mack started. "Do you just want to just start pleading for your life or do you actually want to go through the fight and end up five minutes from now pleading for your life. "
"You're awfully optimistic…"
"One of my many traits," Mack interrupted.
"And stupid." Mack glared at the comment. "Shall we get started? I'm running late with my delivery."
"Fine… If you're so eager to loose." A purple ball formed in black's hand and he shot it at Mack who immediately put up a shield which reflected the attack and shot it back at Black who levitated into the air just on time to miss getting hit by his own attack. Black slowly flouted back to the ground. "You're better then I thought."
"You're worse then I thought." Black glared at Mack as anger stormed with in him. He now found a new reason to win this fight. And this time it would be for himself.
"Fine." Black said. This time for the first time he didn't have a bit of humor in his voice. For the first time he had complete determination on his expression. "Let's go for this. And when I win I will kill you. I'll make it a long and painful death. I promise you that."
Black formed a purple energy ball in both hands and then through them at Mack who but up a shield like last time. Black kept throwing them at Mack. Then Mack realized that none of the balls had hit his defensive shield. Black stopped throwing them and just stood there. Mack was trying to figure out this turn of events when he suddenly heard a cracking sound from behind him. He turned around to see the wall of the store he was standing by was falling down above him. It was falling towards him fast. He tucked his hands in front of his stomach as he bent down a bit and an orange light surrounded him. He throughout his arms and the light shot out in all directions from him. The bricks that were falling on him deteriorate in the air and fell down as dust.
Now Mack doubted himself. Mack looked at Max and Matt in the distance. He saw them trying some magic on the force field to free Matt. Mack new that even if he couldn't fight and win against this guy then he would at least distract him long enough for the other two to get away.
He turned back to his opponent and kept his full attention on him waiting for the next move to be made. He was now going to be ready for anything,
Mack saw that it wasn't going to be Black making the move this time so he decided to start it. He held his hand in the air. A blue light flowed out of it and formed a long object in the air above him. A staff. A long wooded staff flouted in mid-air surrounded by a blue aurora. At both ends of the staff were pointed. The staff drifted in front of Mack and then shot out forward towards Black. Black held up his hand as a red light surrounded it. As the staff touched his hand it splintered into a million pieces. Each of those pieces flouted. Black then pointed towards Mack, dipping his head a bit and looking at Mack. All the splinters of the used-to-be-staff flew towards Mack. Each of them got bigger every inch they flew.
Mack's hands glew blue as the splinters came towards him. Then he held his hands out infront of him and a powerful wind shot out from the ground. The splinters all changed direction and flew up and to the distance.
But Black didn't hesitate to make the next move. His hands glew kneeled down. A wind current came from his hands and towards Mack's legs. Mack, unable to react to the sudden attack, was found his legs being removed from under him. He fell on his face on the hard rocky ground.
He groaned, but only laid for a second. He knew he couldn't stay down so he rolled over just to find that a large rock now was in the spot he was just in. The rock was surrounded by blue and it disappeared as soon as Black realized that it missed his target and tried again. He created another boulder and went to drop it on Mack again but Mack rolled again but this time got to his feet right away. Mack thrushed a hand forward and a lightening bolt flew out from it. It struck Black and pushed him back against his own force field.
Black screamed as pain flooded his body. The force field, his force field, had sent electricity running through his body and with the extra bolt that Mack gave made him wonder about his remaining strength. He fell to the ground as the bolt seized. He was a heap on the ground. Black could feel his magic, power, strength leaving his body.
The force field started to flicker on and off. Black realized that he had to keep it up to keep trap the one that Massar needed. He stood up and prevented any more power from leaving his body.
Matt and Max both turned now to watch the two in the distant. "Looks like the tables turned." Mack said realizing the struggle Black was having to keep the remaining magic he had. "What was that you said earlier?" Mack taunted. "You wouldn't show mercy. I guess you won't have to." Mack laughed.
"Twists and turns happen a lot in movies." Black said. "You never know when another will happen." Black said referring to what he had said to Matt about it being a movie.
"What does that mean?" Mack asked almost threateningly. Black only smirked at the questing but made no move to answer. Black then started to glow blue. A dim light at first but then it got brighter, and brighter, and yet brighter again. Mack squinted trying to see through the light but it became too powerful that he couldn't keep looking. He turned his head away ans squeazed his eyes shut as did Matt and Max.
Then all at once the light faded. Mack opened his eyes slowely. He was amazed to see that Black was no longer there. Nether was the shield of the dead werewolf.
"What happened?" he heard Matt say.
"I think-I think he killed himself." Mack ansered.
"Why?"
Max was the one that answered that. "Well, if you think about it he kept saying how strong and experienced and 'undefeatable' he was until he was defeated then he might of thought it would be better to just kill himself in stead of loose a fight."
"Well what now?" Mack asked after a moment of silence.
"Matt and I have to get back to his apartment in order to get his friends out of hiding. And we got to get back before anyone other then Tai and Izzy finds out we were missing." Max explained.
Mack nodded and turned around to leave but then Matt spoke up. "Mack?" Mack turned around to look at him.
"Yeah?"
"How did you know to come and help"
Mack smiled. "I've been around magic enough so that I can almost sense it. after a while you can feel if someone is a magic user. Now I felt Black's Magic. It was powerful so I wanted to see the one with that much Magic." Matt nodded remembering what Jenn had said to him the other day.
Then Max and Matt headed back to his apartment.
