Chapter 8 – Justimon's courage.

Zeke saw Lisa running from her father inside the mansion. He was carrying his rifle, as if he meant to shoot it. Zeke was certain this was trouble.

"YOU LIED TO ME!!!! ZEKE HURT TYLER, DIDN'T HE???"

"SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!"

Zeke wanted to save Lisa, but he felt weak, tired, and hungry. He ignored this, and dove in through the window. He once again became Justimon. He stood between Lisa, and her father, Trevor.

"Didn't your mother tell you that it's rude to point?" Zeke joked.

Trevor didn't answer, but fired his gun instead. Zeke stumbled backward from the force of the bullet. He was hurt, but the bullet didn't penetrate his android body.

"What on earth?????"

Trevor noticed a glimpse of white to his left. He turned to shoot Lisa, who was running up the stairs. Trevor thought he saw a flash of pink in front of him, but he ignored it… until the front of the rifle fell off. He turned toward Zeke to see that his gray arm had become a sword-like laser.

"Your move."

Trevor was terrified, but he ran from the rifle above the fireplace in the next room. Lisa and her sisters, meanwhile, had a clear vantage point from the top of the stairs. Zeke changed his sword back into an arm while he waited. Trevor entered the room, and aimed at Lisa again. Zeke morphed his arm into a large three-fingered one. He slammed it down hard; causing a tremor that knocked Trevor onto the ground. As Zeke walked over to Trevor, he turned his arm back to normal. He stopped above Trevor, and looked down on him. Trevor quickly pointed the gun at Zeke, and fired. Zeke was hurt more than the last time, and was thrown onto the ground. Before he could get up, Trevor had the gun pointed at his head. He slowly squeezed the trigger.

"JUSTICE KICK!"

Zeke delivered a kick strong enough to send Trevor flying into the next room, and into a wall. Zeke got up, and walked into the room. Trevor was alive, but unconscious. Zeke grabbed a poker from the side of the fireplace, and bent it around Trevor's hands, making it a make shift set of handcuffs. He stumbled back into the room with the stairs, the pain finally taking its toll. He fell down, and the girls ran down the stairs to help him. He glowed in an odd light for a couple seconds, and then the girls saw their earlier visitor lying there on the ground in pain.

"Is he all right?" One asked Lisa.

"I don't know Jessica."

Lisa went over to Zeke and rested her ear on his chest to listen for a heartbeat. With her sisters talking, she couldn't tell if there was one. Zeke saved her the trouble by getting up. He accidentally threw her down, but she wasn't hurt, and she was glad he was all right.

"You saved our sister." Jessica told Zeke.

"You saved us." Another girl said.

Zeke stood up slowly, and tried to get to the window. He stumbled, and the girls went over to him.

"Please don't leave us again." Jessica asked him.

"I…have to." Zeke answered.

"Who will take care of us?" A girl in a pink dress asked him.

"Don't you have a mother?"

"She left when daddy got mean."

"She'll be back. I promise."

Zeke stood up again, and was about to fly off, when he felt a tug on his tail. He remembered the last time he felt a tug, and turned to look without growling. Lisa had once again tugged his tail.

"Could you please take us with you?"

Zeke was a little confused by the question, but he realized that she meant as in flying around the city. He consented, and they flew away from the mansion.



Zeke was feeling incredible, but he decided to cut the trip short, and he stopped at Vince's, for most of the girls had fallen asleep. Lisa was the sole passenger awake.

"Where are we?" she asked him.

"A friend's."

Zeke knocked on the windows, and Vince opened it. He was confused as to why Zeke brought them here, but he didn't ask. Lisa climbed in, and helped get her sleeping sisters inside. Zeke didn't enter, afraid that he'd get stuck in the window.

"Uh…"

"Don't even bother, Vince. You don't have to explain." Lisa told him.

"He doesn't?" Zeke asked.

"Nope."

Zeke didn't expect it. Lisa walked over to the window, and kissed Zeke on his check. For the first time, a Cyberdramon blushed.

"WOW!"

Zeke flew off to take Trevor to the police, unaware that he had become Justimon again.

"Good-bye Zeke." He faintly heard Lisa say.





It's not over yet. R&R.
