Takato's Destiny

Chapter 11: We Are One

"Howling Crusher!" yelled SaberLeomon as his claw headed straight towards MetalControliamon, but missed. "Do you honestly think your pitiful attack is enough to beat me?!" said MetalControliamon. "Nope, but this will!" yelled WarGrowlmon, "Atomic Blaster!" The radiation beams hit MetalControliamon dead center in the chest. "Thousand Spells!" yelled Taomon as she joined in the onslaught. "Gatling Attack!" yelled Andromon as his missles exploded where the metal digimon stood. When the smoke cleared, MetalControliamon was not even scratched. "It useless with your sorry attacks!" he informed. "We may not be able to beat you," said Henry, "But we'll get you back for what you did to Takato & Rika!!" "So just try & beat us!" yelled Terriermon

BIOMERGE DIGIVOLUTION

"Biomerge Activate!" yelled Henry as he transformed into data.

Terriermon biomerge to...... MegaGargomon!

"Mega Barrage!" yelled MegaGargomon as scattered missles headed straight for MetalControliamon. The missles connected with exploding results. "Radiation Blade!" yelled WarGrowlmon as his blades cut part of the metal beast. "Talisman of Light!" yelled Taomon as her branded MetalControliamon with her talisman sign on his back. "IT'S USELESS!" shouted the Metallic Digimon. "We'll see what's useless, you freak!" yelled Kazu.

DIGI-MODIFY

"Digi-Modify!"

"Power Activate!"

"Lighting Blade!" yelled Andromon as blade made the cut wound on MetalControliamon's chest bigger. "Go for it SaberLeomon!" said Kazu. "Twin Fang!" yelled SaberLeomon as he used his needles to puncture into the wound. But MetalControliamon, as usual, repaired the wound. "What you didn't know is that I can regenerate myself," he said, "As long as it's not a large wound." Everbody was ready for MetalControliamon's next move. Everybody except SaberLeomon. "Henry!" yelled Jeri, "Leomon's still weak from helping me open the gateway! He needs more power!" Then Henry thought up an idea. "Jeri, take the ion boosters from my back!" he said. "What?!" yelled Terriermon, "Are you crazy! I need those boosters!" "Trust me, Terriermon," informed Henry, "This is for the best!" Then MegaGargomon released his jet ion pack from his back and gave it to SaberLeomon. Then something happened to the Wild Lion digimon. He & the ion jet pack started to glow.......

SaberLeomon mode change to.....

SaberLeomon: Strife Mode!



SaberLeomon was totally different. MegaGargomon's ion jet pack was placed on his back, a blue-white metal mask with red eyes covered his whole face, & his upper body was covered in blue-white armor. Kazu never took his eyes off of SaberLeomon's new form. Then he looked at his D-Power for the info.

"SaberLeomon: Strife mode; Mega level; Data type; He uses his jet pack to increase his power & speed; still has the same attacks, but his Ion Wave Crusher makes his other atacks seem nothing!" Kazu explained. "All right, Leomon!" said Jeri, "Now we have a chance!" The only thing MetalControliamon could do growl at SaberLeomon new transformation.

----Later----

Takato was devastatedly busted. Blood was flowing down his face faster than Rika's, his ribs were broken instantly,& he had a hard time standing. Rika was bleeding as well, but that much & bruises were all over her. Then she looked over at Takato; no matter how hard he tried to stand, he only would stay down on one knee. Rika walked up to him & put her arms around him to help him up. Takato looked her to see what she was doing. "Now take your time standing," Rika spoke softly, "Don't worry, I've got you." Then Rika helped Takato inch by inch, step by step, to stand even though he was holding his broken ribs. "OK, now take it easy & walk backwards a step at a time," Rika said. As soon as they got to the rock behind them, Rika sat Takato on the ground while she sat. "Looks like it'll take me more than 5 months to get better, huh?" Takato said while breathing hard. Rika looked at his busted up face & smiled. "Yeah, but I never saw fight like you did earlier, Gogglehead," she said softly, "You were totally awesome." Takato blushed lightly & scruffly laughed. "Yeah, but it doesn't matter anymore," he spoke softly, "My ribs are broken, my energy's completely gone, can barely stand, & most importantly," Takato hid his eyes from Rika as tears came out, "I almost lost you...." Rika was shocked to hear what he just said after all the pain he went through: through her & through Controliamon.

After the silence, it was time for Rika to spill her guts. "Takato," she said quietly, "I have a confession to make." Takato rose his head up to look at her. "All those things about something in my head, what happened 5 months ago, the battle between you & me, all of it was true. And I never wanted to break up with you." "You didn't?" asked Takato. Rika just shook her head. "I wanted to prove to you that I could fight this battle on my own. But I'd never thought breaking up with you would be so hard on me." Rika couldn't hold nothing back & let her tears fall. Takato, who saw the whole thing, comforted her as she placed her head on his chest. "Tell me, Rika," asked Takato, "What was controlling you when we fought?" Rika sat back up & told him. "It was my.......evil side!" she yelled out. Takato was shocked, but kept his cool. "Maybe ever since you had that little tiff with IceDevimon, your life hasn't been the same." he explained, "That's why Controliamon took full control over you."

"Speaking of which, Gogglehead," replied Rika, "You said something about 'Your Destiny'. What were you talking about?" Takato jumped when he heard about his destiny; so he explained. "Well, uh....like you, I, too, had a dream." Rika listened very carefully. "In my dream there was this girl named Rikaya, who called herself the White Warrior. She told me that she lived near a river called Data River & told that I had a destiny. That I would become the greatest guardian of both the Digital & Real Worlds. But there were strings attached. In order for me to realize it, I had to......." "You had to what, Takato?" asked Rika. Takato didn't say. It would of been too hard for Rika to handle.

---Flashback---

"The only reason Rika has to be destroyed is because years from now, she'll be cold & ruthless again; in other words, her will be filled with darkness. She'll become the Queen of Darkness," explained Rikaya, "That's why I leave you with 2 choices. Which do you prefer: Rika or your Destiny?!"

---Flashback---

Takato woke up from his trance to tell Rika. "I had to kill you," he said. Rika was shocked at his words, his her eyes, & looked down "But I refused!" Rika was shocked again when she heard that he refused in destroying her. "But why?" she asked. "Look, I know destiny can be a lot of fun, nut what good is it if I can enjoy it with the person I care about?" infomed Takato. Rika blushed a 1000-fold & said, "That's why you saved me!" Takato just nodded. Then Rika hugged him & he did the same thing. "I missed you," Rika said quietly. "So did I," replied Takato quietly. Then automatically, a red & blue aura surrounded both The Digimon King & Queen. "What's...happening...to us?" they both said. Suddenly the auras disappeared. Takato looked at himself, so did Rika. "Rika, look!" Takato said, "I'm healed! My ribs aren't broken anymore!" "My wounds are healed as well!" said Rika, "So what do ya say we get revenge?" "Sweetheart, you read my mind!" replied Takato.

----Back to the Action----

Andromon de-digivolved back to Gardromon after being hit by MetalControliamon's Power Surge. "Gardromon!" yelled Kazu. "That does it!" yelled WarGrowlmon. "This dude's gotta go!" shouted Taomon.

"Atomic Blaster!"

"Talisman of Light!"

The combined blast connected & the metal beast was down. "Like Takato said before," said Henry, "You made a big mistake messing with us!" "I've had enough with your lip, kid," whispered MetalControliamon, "Let's fight!" "Gargo Missles!" yelled MegaGargomon as the twin rockets headed towards the metallic digimon. But MetalControliamon used his Power Surge to blast them towards him. The blast exploded causing MegaGargomon to de- digivolve back to Henry & Terriermon. "Henry!" yelled Jeri. WarGrowlmon & Taomon went to help Henry & Terriermon but.... "Going somewhere?! Critical Cable!" The cables were wrapped around them. "Now, I'd like to introduce to you a new attack I've invented," informed MetalControliamon as he placed his right on the cables, "Critical Surge!" Tons of electric particles flowed through the cables to the Ultimate Digimon. Both digimon de-digivolved back to their rookie levels. While that was going on, SaberLeomon kept looking at Henry, who was nearly knocked out. "Henry," said Jeri quietly as tears fell down her cheeks. But her sadness turned to rage as she looked at MetalControliamon. "Leomon!" she yelled. "Strife Boosters!" yelled SaberLeomon: Strife Mode as the boosters on his back increased his speed. As soon as he got three feet.... "Ion Wave Crusher!" His claw became electricity as he slashed the metal beast in the back. That attack left three straight claw marks, but MetalControliamon rengerated the wound.

"You're gonna pay for that insult!" MetalControliamon said. "It is you who's gonna pay!" yelled SaberLeomon. Then at full speed, they both ran towards each other. "Critical Cable!" "Ion Wave Crusher!" The attacks collided with exploding results. After the light died down, SaberLeomon: Strife Mode, who de-digivolved back to Jeri & Leomon, laid on the ground unmoveable. Henry crawled over to her to wake her up. "Jeri, are you okay?" he asked. Jeri opened her eyes & looked at him. "Yeah. I'm fine," she said. "Ain't this nice?" said MetalControliamon with sarcasm, "Too bad you won't be alive to see your wedding day! Power--" Then suddenly, two blasts came out of nowhere & struck him in the back. MetalControliamon turmed around to see both Takato & Rika in their auras.

"I thought I got rid of you two!" he said, "What does it take to kill you?!" "I think it's about time he got aquanted with our old friend," suggested Takato. "Your speaking my language, Takato," replied Rika. Then Rika took her D-Power & placed it near her heart. Takato put his D-Power, in his hands, out like a triangle shape. "This time you're not getting back up!" informed MetalControliamon as he fired his Power Surge near the rock formation beside them. While that was going on, Rika & Takato chanted two words as their D-Powers glowed.

"Infinitive...." said Rika.

"Fusion......" said Takato.

Before you would of known it, the rock formation fell on top of the Digimon Couple. "At last," said MetalControliamon, "I'm rid of those two!" He laughed out loud until a blinding white light came from the crumbled rocks. Then coming from the rocks, was a person with a emerald-like digivice. Henry looked up to see what it was, then he smiled. "Jeri, look," he said as Jeri looked. Then she smiled real big.

The person that came out of the rocks walked over to a frightened Controliamon. The person beat him before, that person can do it again. That person was named...........Rukato.
