Now, it's time for the ever popular me responding to the reviewers/people who read this on Megchan's board bit!
Waldo Terry - Don't worry, I'll get those two alone in the next chapter. **evil grin**
Black-Tide - Why do people like any couple? But thanks for reviewing, and it's good to know you like the story!
Super-saya Jin Gotan - I hate popups, too.
Indatsura - Thank you SO MUCH for giving me the attack names! Once again, THANK YOU!! Thankyouthankyou!
And to everyone who is catching up, thank you for reviewing. I would address all of you, but I'm afraid I'd freak someone out. ^^;;
I sped forward with an amazing speed and picked up the tele-bomb. There were ten seconds left. With a yell, I hurled it as far as possible. I heard it hit the ground about a street away with a loud smack. I had to have broke it.
"So smart of you." Jigoku Fushion mocked me. I turned around to look at him.
"I didn't do it for you." I spat back, feeling my rage fire up. Dad put a hand on my shoulder and pulled me back. "Now is not the time." He hissed in my ear. I didn't listen to him at all.
"Oh, yes. You did it for your precious Reiko, am I right about that?" Jigoku Fusion asked me.
"I did it for a friend..." I whispered, trembling from anger, fear, and cold.
"Something you'll never understand!" I roared back, glaring Jigoku Fusion right in the eyes. He cautiously stepped back, and I smirked at him. "I'll make sure you never know." I whispered threateningly.
Ruki Matsuki-Makino was proud of the kid. Out of all the potential boys she would have ever let near her baby, this boy was definitely the most impressive. He kind of reminded her of her gogglehead. Danger in an unexpected package. Kind of like Renamon in that respect.
Then Ruki noticed the little hybrid girl lying on the ground. Her large, golden winged ears and small stub of a tail had come out in her blind terror. She reminded Ruki of a Patamon. The Patamon card was one of her favorites in her card collection, second to her collection of Renamon cards. After the D-Reaper fiasco, cards had been made of the Tamers' digimon, and those sold like wild. Ruki, now in her late twenties, still collected digimon cards. The variety of powerful digivolutions with the Patamon card had always impressed her. If the cards were right, these girl would be something to fear if she ever got the ability to digivolve. Yet...
Ruki felt a cold chill run down her spine as she looked at the little girl. She had the powers of digimon, and she couldn't hold off Hellmon...what chance had Reiko had? It seemed as if she'd been absorbed into Hellmon, somehow. If she really was a part of Hellmon now, how could they ever save her?
Her only daughter was...gone...
"Ruki, you okay?" A young, feminine voice inquired. Shuchion worriedly started at one of the people she really looked up to. Ruki turned to look at Shuchion. To her shock, Shuchion saw tears in the redhead's eyes. "Ruki...?"
Ruki suddenly seemed to jerk out of her trance, and quickly wiped her eyes. "How did you get here?" she asked.
"You were on the news, Ice Queen." Hirokazu replied. "So we grabbed the car and headed out to help."
Behind Hirokazu was Guardromon, with Lopmon hanging onto his head.
"Hello Ruki." The chocolate digimon replied, and Ruki smiled. "Nice to see you, Lopmon."
Then the Digimon Queen gently picked up Pata, and handed her to Shuchion. "You can help by getting her out of here. Hirokazu, you and Guardromon stay here. Shuchion, come back whenever you get that to girl to wherever you can take her. We'll need all the help we can get, but things are under control right now." Ruki ordered.
"All right." Shuchion whispered, and placed Pata into the back seat of the car and strapped her in. Then Shuchion herself got into the car and buckled up. "See you soon, Hiro-kun, Ruki." Shuchion said, nodding at both of them.
"Later, Shu-chan." Hirokazu said as he, Ruki and Guardromon headed off. Shuchion turned bright red.
"Don't call me that!" she called back as she went speeding back to her house.
Ruki smiled and waved goodbye. Casting a look at Jigoku Fusion, she decided that she would find whatever way possible to get her baby out of there. Any way possible. Slipping on a familiar pair of blue sunglasses, Ruki smiled a cold, calculating smile. "Renamon, ready to fight?" the redhead asked her partner.
"Even if I don't understand your motives, I understand much more." Jigoku Fusion told me, and I felt a sudden sick feeling in my stomach. "How to manipulate, like telling your friends Grey and Devi about a new hybrid. Providing Yamaki with the viruses he used to infect you Grey. Against Yamaki's knowledge, of course. I sent them in anonymously. Telling the Four Gods of a heinous threat in your world capable of destroying both worlds. Of course, those sovereigns finally figured out I was the threat..." Hellmon muttered. I stood dumbstruck at what he'd just told me.
"What do you mean...?" I timidly asked, afraid of the answer. Jigoku Fusion chuckled. "Blame it on me."
Then his eyes flickered maliciously. "It's all my doing, mon boy." Jigoku Fusion teased, switching to Reiko's voice. I felt my blood boil. "I was the one who told Yamaki of the legend of the four gods. Only thing that kept him doing what he did, the hope that his love would come back. God, you humans and digimon really are too wrapped in all of that. The only things that really matter are power and revenge!" Jigoku Fusion shouted.
Before I could see it, Jigoku Fusion fired again. I went flying from the force of the blow and slammed into a building nearby.
"You don't understand!" I cried out.
Inside of Hellmon, Reiko felt completely helpless. She couldn't stop anything anymore...Hellmon's mind was taking control of Jigoku Fusion, and it was like she'd been shoved in the corner. And Hellmon enjoyed that.
What if he killed everyone? She would be responsible...it'd all be her fault. Because she couldn't stop him...
"You don't understand!" Kiiroishi's voice suddenly filled her mind. Mon boy was still fighting! She couldn't give up! Not if he was still fighting! After all, Hellmon didn't really understand. He didn't understand what it felt like to be loved. If she was loved, then maybe she had the power to get out of this. Maybe she still could still get out of him...
Then Reiko suddenly realized something. If she was a part of Jigoku Fusion, she would know its weaknesses! Then she could tell everyone how to beat him! Of course!
"Hellmon, you should've chosen someone else." Reiko told her captor in triumph. "Mon boy, aim for the head!"
Reiko Matsuki now began to gain control of Jigoku Fusion. And if she was in control, she would be getting out.
Reviews, glorious reviews...something, something, something...leave me a review, and I'll love you...
