Sarah-chan - I've no idea if you can really make a telephone bomb. Anyone know?
Devidramon - It's actually later on in the series that the D-Reaper/Juri similiarities will show up, but they're definitely there. Not exactly, with this chapter now up, but they're really obvious ones when they show up.
Inuyasha-kun - Wow, nice to know people are actually waiting for the next chapter! Thanks!
All right, that concludes this immense author's note. If anyone can tell me what Sakuyamon and the Soverign's attacks are, I'll love you forever! I can only have them attack so many times...well, enjoy! Hope the chapter's good, you desrve it if you actually read all my babble.
"What do you think you're doing?" Hellmon threateningly asked, facing the four sovereigns and the young hybrid attacking him. "This!" Kiiroishi yelled, attacking.
Inside of Hellmon, Reiko was also fighting. With all the strength she could muster, she was throwing herself onto the tendons, punching, pushing and kicking them away. She was almost free, too!
Unable to properly dodge due to the internal beating he was receiving, Hellmon was struck by Kiiroishi's attack, and the Sovereigns' attack following it. The malicious vampire yelled out in a combination of surprise and intense pain as he fell to his knees. The Four Sovereigns got ready to attack and finish all of this, but then...
Hellmon's eyes flashed. "No." He said in a voice barely audible. "No..." He raised his face to the dark night sky.
"Answer my prayers, o dark night. Do not let my efforts become futile! Do not betray me!" Hellmon roared.
Zhuqiaomon's face suddenly turned immensely pale as suddenly the stars around them seemed to flicker.
Kiiroishi felt a sudden sick fear imprison his stomach, and an ever growing concern about Reiko's mortality...
"What's going on...?" Reiko asked timidly as she obliterated the last tendon holding her captive.
Suddenly a hole suddenly seemed to open inside the chamber. At the speed of lighting, a tendon whipped out and sent Pata flying outside of the escape. Reiko screamed as the blood red fangs went flying her way.
Excruciatingly tight, they turned into a sight mass and bound the young Matsuki by her neck. Slowly, Reiko felt herself grow numb as she sank into the floor of the chamber.
She was confronted by a mass of bright zero and ones, and then they flooded into her body. Making her data.
Without really feeling it, Reiko felt her body break into millions of bits of data. She was being melded with him...
Yamaki handed Jenrya the green tele-bomb. Jenrya cautiously took it, looking at Yamaki. "Why are you...?"
"I want you to try calling Kiiroishi, if it's possible." Yamaki said grimly. "That thing will destroy any data whatsoever in the area, including Kiiroishi's. It could kill him, Lee. I've inserted a chip so that if you call any number in the city, all the phones will be activated along with the answering machines. We've got to try reaching him. " Jenrya stared down at what was Ruki's phone with a look of great contemplation on his face.
"What happens after I call?" Jenrya asked the older man.
"The time starts ticking." Yamaki said.
"If we can't reach him or Hellmon in time, we'll just ditch it wherever we end up. It will only hurt the electronic appliances in the area...the government can blame me and pay back the damages later." Yamaki explained. Turning his face to the digimon, Yamaki faced them all. "I want you all to stay here. Only Lee and the Matsuki's go with me, all right?" The Hypnos Boss ordered.
"But what if Takatomon gets hurt?" Guilmon asked, to be reinforced by a "Yeah, what about Jen?"
Renamon placed a finger on their mouths. "Ruki and the others will be fine. We'll be no use to them deleted."
Yamaki smiled. "Nice to see you agree with me, Renamon." The fox digimon shot him a disgusted look.
"I do not agree with your actions, but I agree with common sense." Renamon said in a voice causing Yamaki to worriedly recall her attack on him. Yamaki gulped. "I suppose we should be leaving. Mister Lee?"
Jenrya inhaled sharply and began to dial random numbers on the tele-bomb.
"Pata!" Kiiroishi gasped, running towards the unconscious girl, who was still falling. Kiiroishi leapt up a superhuman height into the air and caught the small girl in his arms. Kiiroishi slowly returned back to solid earth. Reiko...what's going on? Where are you? The young hybrid worried as his dread grew stronger.
"We've got to get out of here!" Qinglongmon said, grabbing Pata. He began to run. Rapidly following him were Zhuqiaomon, Baihumon, and Ebonwumon. Kiiroishi stood unmoving, staring at Hellmon's eyes. They were changing to a pale violet, just like Reiko's eyes. Oh, god.
"REIKO!" Kiiroishi screamed as his worst fears seemed to be coming true.
Reiko was becoming part of Hellmon.
"Jigoku Fusion!" Zhuqiaomon whispered in fear. Then to his horror, he saw Kiiroishi screaming in terror for his friend. If he stayed there just another few seconds...
Zhuqiaomon seized the boy, who had gone into shock, unmoving. Even his personal dislike did not make being responsible for an innocent life any more excusable. Besides, he had grown to like this boy. Not in the same sense as his "mate", yet he respected the boy's courage. Or what had been his courage, if the boy ever returned to reality. "No...no way!" The boy whispered.
Hellmon turned a lazy head to the Sovereigns and their accomplice. His appearance had changed to one of an androgynous brunette boy, his hair containing soft red streaks and with pale violet eyes. "I am Jigoku Fusion."
His voice was a disturbing meld of Hellmon's calmly sadistic voice, and Reiko's energetic and mischievous one. He pointed a finger at the Sovereigns and Kiiroishi. "For you, Sovereigns. Mon Boy." He said, using Reiko's voice. Kiiroishi looked sick beyond belief, all color gone from his face. Then a flurry of sharp orange beams flew from Jigoku Fusion's projected finger to the shocked group. In an instant, they were all drained of their power.
"Mom...Dad...Reiko..." Kiiroishi whispered as he collapsed to the ground, hardly alive.
"Hello? Hello?" Jenrya demanded into the mouthpiece.
"Any response?" Ruki asked, and Jenrya shook his head. "Kiiroishi, say something! Tell me you're getting out of there!" Jenrya yelled at the phone.
Kiiroishi's worn out words softly echoed out over the disturbing silence, and the call abruptly ended.
Jenrya stared at the phone in disbelief, as Ruki bit her lip and Takato's eyes grew angry. Yamaki said nothing.
The phone began to countdown the thirty minutes they had left.
GIVE ME REVIEWS BECAUSE I LACK SELF-ESTEEM! That...er...**cough** came out wrong. I'm a perfectly self-assured individual...I'm sorry, I've been dying to do that. Really, I just love feedback, so tell me what you think! And tele-bomb is my new word. =P
