Hear no Evil, See no Evil, Speak no Evil
Chapter 7
"So, it seems you have guessed my identity correctly." laughed Myotismon grinning down at the Tamers with his horrible smile.
"And it appears we were right." said Renamon.
"That may be so, but with your Tamers in the condition they're in, you won't stand a chance against me!" cackled Myotismon, "Soon, I will have control of this city, then the whole of Japan and, not long after, the entire human world!"
"What did he say?" asked Henry loudly as he turned to Rika. Rika signed to him and his face hardened with rage.
"Just keep thinking that," said Henry turning back to the vampire Digimon,"and it just might come true in your dreams but never in reality! Terriermon, get ready to Digivolve!"
"And I thought he'd never say that!" sighed Terriermon running up as Henry reached for his cards.
"Digi-Modify!...Matrix Digivolution Activate!"
"Terriermon Matrix Digivolve to... RAPIDMON!"
'Renamon had better be ready,' thought Rika as she slashed her own card through her D-Power, 'Its time to join the fight!'
"Renamon Matrix Digivolve to... TAOMON!" said the Ultimate Digimon in her same quiet, calm voice.
"Takato, I'm ready to go!" growled Guilmon stand up and facing Myotismon.
"Are you sure you can do it, Guilmon?" asked Takato.
"We just saw you get all the energy sucked from your body. You should rest!" said Jeri.
"No, I can take it!" assured Guilmon.
"If... you're sure...." whispered Takato taking another random card from his card pouch, "Digi-Modify!...Matrix Digivolution Activate!"
"Guilmon Matrix Digivolve to... WARGROWLMON!" All 3 Ultimate Digimon charged at Myotismon as Leomon stayed behind to help keep the multiplying bats away from the Tamers. Rapidmon and Taomon were the first to attack.
"RAPID FIRE!" shouted Rapidmon quickly shooting off his guns as he flew around faster than the blink of an eye.
"THOUSAND SPELLS!" yelled Taomon as she fired a thousand spell cards at Myotismon.
"GRIZZLY WING!" snickered Myotismon holding out his arms. Tons of bats formed in seconds and ran full force into the other attacks. It worked just like a shield!
"He deflected them!" gasped Henry.
"That's against the rules!" complained Rapidmon, "You're not supposed to do that!"
"Apparently he doesn't know that." said Taomon.
"You all play by my rules now...." said Myotismon forming a large whips in his hands, "CRIMSON LIGHTNING!" Myotismon whiped the beams of energy around Rapidmon and threw him to the ground with amazing power!
"No! Rapidmon!" yelled Henry running towards his partner.
"Moman-tei...." muttered Rapidmon dizzily, "Its just a flesh wound, Henry."
"Now its your turn!" said Myotismon turning towards Taomon as he threw the whip towards her but she reacted quicker! She formed a small symbol and held it in front of her creating a shield of invisible energy. The red beams bounced off the shield like nothing!
"Let's see if your pithetic shield can hold off this! GRIZZLY WING!" Myotismon set off another brigade of bats towards Taomon but she didn't notice because she was using all her stength just consentrating on holding the shield. Little did she know that little by little the shield was being eaten away by the bats.
'Oh, no! Taomon is in trouble!' thought Rika watching the shield begin to dissolve. If the bats kept at it, they would soon reach Taomon and she would be caught off guard! Rika tried to yell for her Digimon but, once again, all that came out was a moaning shriek but that was all she needed to get Taomon's attension.
"Rika!" yelled Taomon dropping the shield and turning towards her partner to see what was the matter but just as she left the shield the bats began to flood down upon her. Rika gasped and ran towards her falling partner completely unguarded and not caring if she herself got hurt.
"Now the child! NIGHTMARE CLAW!" hissed Myotismon but WarGrowlmon intercepted him and began to slash at him with his blades.
"I don't think so!" growled WarGrowlmon using all his strength to push Myotismon back.
"Yes! I knew you were the strongest of Digimon Tamed by the humans! That's why I went for your Tamer first!" mocked Myotismon jumping back from WarGrowlmon. This enraged WarGrowlmon and he ran towards Myotismon slashing his arm blades madly.
"Take this: GRIZZLY WING!" Millions of bats flapped towards WarGrowlmon, biting, clawing, screeching! WarGrowlmon tried his best to destroy all the bats but he just couldn't hold off all of them on his own! The bats engulfed him and he roared out a cry of pain.
"WarGrowlmon!" yelled Takato worridly. He breathed hard and time seemed to slow as he listened to his Digimon's struggling roars.
"Leomon, you have to help him!" shouted Jeri turning towards her Digimon.
"No! I have to protect the 4 of you Tamers! I'm sorry Jeri, but they'll have to find a way to fight back!" growled Leomon as he took down a group of bats with one Fist of the Beast King attack.
"But... WarGrowlmon needs help...." whispered Jeri turning back to the falling Ultimates.
"Oh... WarGrowlmon, this is all my fault!" muttered Takato, "You shouldn't be fighting! If only I could help yo-" Takato stopped and thought hard. Yes! There was a way he could help WarGrowlmon. He had fought along with WarGrowlmon before but he had also gotten hurt whenever WarGrowlmon felt pain. If WarGrowlmon happened to get so hurt he dedigivolved Takato would... 'No! This isn't the time to be thinking of myself! I'm going to do this... for Jeri! For Rapidmon and Taomon! For Henry and Rika!' Takato stood up and took a step forward.
"Whatever happens to me doesn't matter!" yelled Takato making Jeri gasp,"I'm blind and there's nothing I can do to change that but it doesn't mean I'm hopeless as a Tamer! WarGrowlmon, I'm right here with you!"
"I... feel... your power,... Takato!" roared WarGrowlmon encouraging his Tamer.
"What's this then?" asked Myotismon slightly confused.
"We are Digimon...," said Takato clentching his fists.
"...and we are Tamer." added WarGrowlmon.
"TOGETHER WE WILL DEFEAT YOU!!" yelled Takato and WarGrowlmon together, "RRRRAAAGH!" WarGrowlmon charged and slashed his blades furiously as Takato swung his arms and roared. This time, WarGrowlmon was able to make full contact with the vampire Digimon who hissed and clentched his side in pain. It was a little strange... it was as if, just as the blade hit Myotismon, Takato got a quick glimpes of what was happening. It wasn't a very good look. It was like something you would see in your mind's eye and it was only in shades of red and shakey like a video camera in trembling hands....
'Is that what WarGrowlmon sees?' Takato asked himself but quickly pushed it out of his mind and continued to consentrate on the battle. He wiped away away a few tears that he must have shed when he was worrying about his Digimon. Now was not the time to cry, it was the time to fight!
While all of this was happening, Henry was trying to aid Rapidmon who seemed to be having a hard time getting up out of the large crator he had made in the dirt. Out of the corner of his eye, Henry saw Takato begin yelling but it wasn't as if he hadn't seen Takato do this before. Henry felt a slight trickle of irritation run through him.
'Why can't Takato be serious at a time like this?' Henry thought. This wasn't the time to be playing games! Henry turned to look down at his Digimon once again and felt his heart lurnge in sadness. He jumped down into the crator and put up his hand to touch Rapidmon.
"I'm sorry...," cried Henry feeling tears begin to slip down his cheeks, "I'm so sorry, Rapidmon...." Rapidmon groaned and tried to reach his hand up to Henry but it fell short. He had never felt so weak!
"Henry, if only I could tell you its not your fault!" moaned Rapidmon looking at Henry, "I don't even have a mouth in this form so you can't read lips... I don't know any sign language either...." Rapidmon looking into his Tamer's eyes.
"Henry! Its not your fault! Can't you hear me? ITS NOT YOUR FAULT!!!" yelled Rapidmon pleadingly but he got no response from his partner. He began to cry, 'Henry... I miss you! I miss the way you used to correct me! The way you used to complain I was being too loud! I even miss you nagging me when I say something that you think is mean when I was just being truthful!' Suddenly, Henry smiled and wiped away his tears.
"Now look who needs to moman-tei..." muttered Henry in a soft voice.
'Henry? Can he... hear me?' Rapidmon thought as he tried to consentrate on his partner. Henry gasped and looked into his partner's eyes. He was begining to feel something strange inside him.
'Terriermon? Rapidmon, is that you?' Henry asked the voice that echoed in his head.
'How is this possible? I can hear you in my head... and you can hear me!'
"I'm not sure how or why this happened but... I feel a little wierd." said Henry aloud.
'I feel different too, Henry. I feel... stronger.'
"So do I, Rapidmon."
'Henry, I'm going to help WarGrowlmon but I'll need your help as well.'
"How can I help?" asked Henry. Rapidmon turned and looked towards Takato who was growling in unison with WarGrowlmon. Rapidmon turned back towards Henry who now understood Takato's strange actions.
'Just believe in your heart and believe in me.' thought Rapidmon jumping up into the air.
"Now that is something I know I can do!" yelled Henry scrambling out of the pit.
"You fight well, WarGrowlmon, but you are still no match for me." cackled Myotismon as he swung the red rope of energy at WarGrowlmon once again.
"But how about taking on two Ultimates?" asked Rapidmon surprising Myotismon making him miss his target.
"Rapidmon, its you!" growled WarGrowlmon happily.
"And I'm not alone." said Rapidmon.
"Its time to teach you a lesson: Never mess with the Tamers!" yelled Henry and he gave a loud cry as he felt Rapidmon's strength inside of him.
"RAPID FIRE!" shouted Rapidmon shooting off each bomb as Henry punched the air and with their combined strength, they were able to knock Myotismon down. Myotismon growled through his teeth and glared up at the green mechanical bunny. He then began to laugh.
"You think I'm afraid of you? You must be kidding me! Just a lizard and bunny don't have prayer against me!" cackled the evil Digimon, "GRIZZLY WING!" Once again, billions of bats emptied out of Myotismon's arms and towards the other Ultimates who, with the help of their partners, batted them down.
"He's beginning to tick me off, Rapidmon." said Henry wiping sweat off the back of his neck.
"Me too! Lets take him down, WarGrowlmon!" growled Takato.
Meanwhile, Rika was knealing at Taomon's side. Her Digimon looked more like a rag doll than an Ultimate Digimon.
'Oh, Taomon... how could I let something like this happen to you? If I hadn't tried to get your attension, you'd be alright.' thought Rika feeling her eyes begin to tear up.
'Don't cry, Rika...' whispered a voice softly in Rika's ear. She looked up to see Taomon looking directly in her eyes. They seemed to be in their own zone but this wasn't new to Rika. She had always talked to Renamon in private this way and it seemed to stop time... she just didn't understand exactly how it worked.
'Rika, all of this is not your fault.' said Taomon,'Its Myotismon's fault. If you hadn't spoke up, I would have gotten caught by the bats and would have been too weak to keep up my Ultimate form. When you stopped my consentration it helped me save strength.'
'Really, Taomon?' asked Rika in her mind.
'Really, Rika. I can still fight,' whispered Taomon putting her clothed paw on Rika's hand,'but I'll need you to help me.'
'You mean I have to yell like the goggle heads?' asked Rika making Taomon chuckle.
'I'm afraid so, Rika.'
'... Alright.' thought Rika,'If I can help you in anyway, I'll try but I'm not sure if I can do it. You know my..."condition" .'
'Do not worry about that, Rika. Just trust in yourself. Trust me....' Taomon rose up into the sky and Rika pulled herself out of their little world and back into the real one. She stood up and looked towards Myotismon who was trying to fight back against WarGrowlmon and Rapidmon but Rapidmon kept getting rid of the bats and WarGrowlmon knocked away his Crimson Lightning.
'Just add in a little Taomon and we'll have this guy beat before he can say "Tamer" .' snickered Rika in her mind with a sneer.
"I'm going to put you back in your place, Myotismon." said Taomon,"Ready, Rika?" Rika nodded and opened her mouth, trying her hardest to get a sound out. As Taomon used her Thousand Spells attack, Rika did feel something but she didn't know if it had to do with the attack. It felt as if something got stuck in her throat and it made her cough, hard! Rika tried to yell again but she coughed once more but this time something seemed to come out with the coughs. Rika held up her hands just as she coughed and felt something wet and sticky hit them. She looked down at her hands and saw blood.
"Rika, are you alright?" asked Taomon getting a nod from her partner. Rika wasn't going to let a little blood get in the way of a battle.
"GRIZZLY WING!" Myotismon sent thousands of bat out and they sacrificed themselves against the Thousand Spells cards but some managed to get by the bats and hit Myotismon but they didn't phase him much.
"You are all pithetic! You're Tamer is already bleeding and I haven't even touched her yet." smirked Myotismon, "Time to feel my wrath! CRIMSON LIGHTNING!"
"How many times do I have to tell you, that's enough!" roared WarGrowlmon slashing the beams. Myotismon stopped just for a brief second to look at WarGrowlmon before saying,"I will rule this world and there is nothing you can do about it! You will all bow before me and if you do not, I will see to your distruction! This fight ends... NOW!! NIGHTMARE CLAW!"
"No! I won't let you hurt my friends anymore!" yelled Takato as he ran towards Myotismon's voice,"It's time to end this! Everyone attack him at once! ARRRRAGH!!" Henry didn't need an interperter to tell him what to do. He held up his hands in the air and gave a cry.
"TRIBEAM!" yelled Rapidmon holding his arms out in a 'Y' shape and charging the green energy beam.
"TALISMON OF-" started Taomon raising her paintbrush into the air.
'LIGHT!' thought Rika swinging her arms down with a grunt as she felt more liquid welt up in her throat.
"ATOMIC-" started WarGrowlmon as he began to charge up his flame throwers.
"BLASTER!!!" shouted Takato and he roared with all the air he had inside of him until he felt his lungs were going to the collapse.
"GRIZZLY WING! Everyone, attack!" ordered Myotismon calling to his newly risin bats and the ones already fighting. They all charged at the attacks but they were dissolved like nothing! The 3 combined attacks of WarGrowlmon, Rapidmon and Taomon hit Myotismon straight in the chest and ended in a huge explosion! Dust, dirt and smoke filled the air making all the Tamers cough. It got up in Takato's eyes and Henry's ears making them itchy and irritated.
"Takato, are you okay?" asked a small voice.
"Guilmon?" asked Takato feeling around for his Digimon.
"That's me!" yelped his little Digimon happily as he reached his partner. Takato threw his arms around his Rookie level Digimon with a chuckle.
"Terriermon!" yelled Henry looking around,"Terriermon, where are you?" Terriermon giggled as he ran out of the dust and jumping into Henry's arms.
"Moman-tei!" Henry smiled. That was one word he could lip read.
'Where are you, Renamon?' thought Rika looking around worriedly but she sighed in relief as Renamon appeared beside her.
"Where is he? Where's Myotismon?" asked Jeri looking around. Leomon stood there for a few moments and smiled.
"He is no longer here. I do not feel his presence." replied Leomon.
"You mean... we won?" asked Takato.
'Renamon, is he really gone or did he get away?' asked Rika after a few more coughs.
"He is gone forever. I felt his presence leave this world just as our attacks made contact. It is impossible for him to have gotten away so quickly." answered Renamon.
"Takato!" gasped Jeri,"You're bleeding!"
"I... I am?" asked Takato.
"Yes, you're bleeding all over, Takato." said Guilmon in a worried voice.
"So is Henry! It's all over his neck!" cried Terriermon.
"Rika seems to be bleeding as well." added Renamon.
"We need to get help!" said Jeri.
"Let's go to my house! Its not too far and we can wash up there!" suggested Takato.
"Good idea! Let's go." said Jeri grabbing Takato's arm and leading him away fast.
"Wait for us!" yelled Terriermon as he(who was being carried by Henry), Henry and Rika ran after them. Renamon disappeared for about a second and reappeared on top of the bakery where Takato and his family lived. She watched as down the sidewalk came the 4 Tamers ran as fast as they could to get to the house. It didn't take them long and soon, Mrs. Matsuki(who was exremely confused) was helping them all get the blood off them. Takato and Henry were rising off the blood at a sink while Rika stood in the back alleyway, swishing her mouth out with water and spitting out the blood.
Have you ever heard the saying, 'Blood is thicker that water'? Well, whoever said it was right! Takato was having the hardest time getting it out of his eyes. Henry splashed water in his ears but it still took a long time to drain and Rika couldn't seem to get it all out of her throat. It kept coming back! It didn't really seem much like blood either. It was the same deep red color but it seemed to have a little more... substance to it.
Finally, after about 15 minutes of splashing his face, Takato managed to get out all of the blood. He splashed his eyes one more time and blinked them a few times just to make sure when something strange happened. A thick coat of white, filmy liquid fell off of his eyes and splashed into the sink. He saw colors and blured shaped when he opened his eyes.... Takato rubbed his eyes and then blinked them once again. Slowly, his vision began to clear and... and....
"Mom!" yelled Takato turning around to his perplexed mother, "I can see again!"

"So, it seems you have guessed my identity correctly." laughed Myotismon grinning down at the Tamers with his horrible smile.
"And it appears we were right." said Renamon.
"That may be so, but with your Tamers in the condition they're in, you won't stand a chance against me!" cackled Myotismon, "Soon, I will have control of this city, then the whole of Japan and, not long after, the entire human world!"
"What did he say?" asked Henry loudly as he turned to Rika. Rika signed to him and his face hardened with rage.
"Just keep thinking that," said Henry turning back to the vampire Digimon,"and it just might come true in your dreams but never in reality! Terriermon, get ready to Digivolve!"
"And I thought he'd never say that!" sighed Terriermon running up as Henry reached for his cards.
"Digi-Modify!...Matrix Digivolution Activate!"
"Terriermon Matrix Digivolve to... RAPIDMON!"
'Renamon had better be ready,' thought Rika as she slashed her own card through her D-Power, 'Its time to join the fight!'
"Renamon Matrix Digivolve to... TAOMON!" said the Ultimate Digimon in her same quiet, calm voice.
"Takato, I'm ready to go!" growled Guilmon stand up and facing Myotismon.
"Are you sure you can do it, Guilmon?" asked Takato.
"We just saw you get all the energy sucked from your body. You should rest!" said Jeri.
"No, I can take it!" assured Guilmon.
"If... you're sure...." whispered Takato taking another random card from his card pouch, "Digi-Modify!...Matrix Digivolution Activate!"
"Guilmon Matrix Digivolve to... WARGROWLMON!" All 3 Ultimate Digimon charged at Myotismon as Leomon stayed behind to help keep the multiplying bats away from the Tamers. Rapidmon and Taomon were the first to attack.
"RAPID FIRE!" shouted Rapidmon quickly shooting off his guns as he flew around faster than the blink of an eye.
"THOUSAND SPELLS!" yelled Taomon as she fired a thousand spell cards at Myotismon.

"WarGrowlmon!" yelled Takato worridly. He breathed hard and time seemed to slow as he listened to his Digimon's struggling roars.
"Leomon, you have to help him!" shouted Jeri turning towards her Digimon.
"No! I have to protect the 4 of you Tamers! I'm sorry Jeri, but they'll have to find a way to fight back!" growled Leomon as he took down a group of bats with one Fist of the Beast King attack.
"But... WarGrowlmon needs help...." whispered Jeri turning back to the falling Ultimates.
"Oh... WarGrowlmon, this is all my fault!" muttered Takato, "You shouldn't be fighting! If only I could help yo-" Takato stopped and thought hard. Yes! There was a way he could help WarGrowlmon. He had fought along with WarGrowlmon before but he had also gotten hurt whenever WarGrowlmon felt pain. If WarGrowlmon happened to get so hurt he dedigivolved Takato would... 'No! This isn't the time to be thinking of myself! I'm going to do this... for Jeri! For Rapidmon and Taomon! For Henry and Rika!' Takato stood up and took a step forward.
"Whatever happens to me doesn't matter!" yelled Takato making Jeri gasp,"I'm blind and there's nothing I can do to change that but it doesn't mean I'm hopeless as a Tamer! WarGrowlmon, I'm right here with you!"
"I... feel... your power,... Takato!" roared WarGrowlmon encouraging his Tamer.
"What's this then?" asked Myotismon slightly confused.
"We are Digimon...," said Takato clentching his fists.
"...and we are Tamer." added WarGrowlmon.
"TOGETHER WE WILL DEFEAT YOU!!" yelled Takato and WarGrowlmon together, "RRRRAAAGH!" WarGrowlmon charged and slashed his blades furiously as Takato swung his arms and roared. This time, WarGrowlmon was able to make full contact with the vampire Digimon who hissed and clentched his side in pain. It was a little strange... it was as if, just as the blade hit Myotismon, Takato got a quick glimpes of what was happening. It wasn't a very good look.

'Is that what WarGrowlmon sees?' Takato asked himself but quickly pushed it out of his mind and continued to consentrate on the battle. He wiped away away a few tears that he must have shed when he was worrying about his Digimon. Now was not the time to cry, it was the time to fight!
While all of this was happening, Henry was trying to aid Rapidmon who seemed to be having a hard time getting up out of the large crator he had made in the dirt. Out of the corner of his eye, Henry saw Takato begin yelling but it wasn't as if he hadn't seen Takato do this before. Henry felt a slight trickle of irritation run through him.
'Why can't Takato be serious at a time like this?' Henry thought. This wasn't the time to be playing games! Henry turned to look down at his Digimon once again and felt his heart lurnge in sadness. He jumped down into the crator and put up his hand to touch Rapidmon.
"I'm sorry...," cried Henry feeling tears begin to slip down his cheeks, "I'm so sorry, Rapidmon...." Rapidmon groaned and tried to reach his hand up to Henry but it fell short. He had never felt so weak!
"Henry, if only I could tell you its not your fault!" moaned Rapidmon looking at Henry, "I don't even have a mouth in this form so you can't read lips... I don't know any sign language either...." Rapidmon looking into his Tamer's eyes.

I miss the way you used to correct me! The way you used to complain I was being too loud! I even miss you nagging me when I say something that you think is mean when I was just being truthful!' Suddenly, Henry smiled and wiped away his tears.
"Now look who needs to moman-tei..." muttered Henry in a soft voice.
'Henry? Can he... hear me?' Rapidmon thought as he tried to consentrate on his partner. Henry gasped and looked into his partner's eyes. He was begining to feel something strange inside him.
'Terriermon? Rapidmon, is that you?' Henry asked the voice that echoed in his head.
'How is this possible? I can hear you in my head... and you can hear me!'
"I'm not sure how or why this happened but... I feel a little wierd." said Henry aloud.
'I feel different too, Henry. I feel... stronger.'
"So do I, Rapidmon."
'Henry, I'm going to help WarGrowlmon but I'll need your help as well.'
"How can I help?" asked Henry. Rapidmon turned and looked towards Takato who was growling in unison with WarGrowlmon. Rapidmon turned back towards Henry who now understood Takato's strange actions.
'Just believe in your heart and believe in me.' thought Rapidmon jumping up into the air.
"Now that is something I know I can do!" yelled Henry scrambling out of the pit.

Meanwhile, Rika was knealing at Taomon's side. Her Digimon looked more like a rag doll than an Ultimate Digimon.
'Oh, Taomon... how could I let something like this happen to you? If I hadn't tried to get your attension, you'd be alright.' thought Rika feeling her eyes begin to tear up.
'Don't cry, Rika...' whispered a voice softly in Rika's ear. She looked up to see Taomon looking directly in her eyes. They seemed to be in their own zone but this wasn't new to Rika. She had always talked to Renamon in private this way and it seemed to stop time... she just didn't understand exactly how it worked.

'I'm afraid so, Rika.'
'... Alright.' thought Rika,'If I can help you in anyway, I'll try but I'm not sure if I can do it. You know my..."condition" .'
'Do not worry about that, Rika. Just trust in yourself. Trust me....' Taomon rose up into the sky and Rika pulled herself out of their little world and back into the real one. She stood up and looked towards Myotismon who was trying to fight back against WarGrowlmon and Rapidmon but Rapidmon kept getting rid of the bats and WarGrowlmon knocked away his Crimson Lightning.

As Taomon used her Thousand Spells attack, Rika did feel something but she didn't know if it had to do with the attack. It felt as if something got stuck in her throat and it made her cough, hard! Rika tried to yell again but she coughed once more but this time something seemed to come out with the coughs. Rika held up her hands just as she coughed and felt something wet and sticky hit them. She looked down at her hands and saw blood.
"Rika, are you alright?" asked Taomon getting a nod from her partner. Rika wasn't going to let a little blood get in the way of a battle.
"GRIZZLY WING!" Myotismon sent thousands of bat out and they sacrificed themselves against the Thousand Spells cards but some managed to get by the bats and hit Myotismon but they didn't phase him much.
"You are all pithetic! You're Tamer is already bleeding and I haven't even touched her yet." smirked Myotismon, "Time to feel my wrath! CRIMSON LIGHTNING!"
"How many times do I have to tell you, that's enough!" roared WarGrowlmon slashing the beams. Myotismon stopped just for a brief second to look at WarGrowlmon before saying,"I will rule this world and there is nothing you can do about it! You will all bow before me and if you do not, I will see to your distruction! This fight ends... NOW!! NIGHTMARE CLAW!"
"No! I won't let you hurt my friends anymore!" yelled Takato as he ran towards Myotismon's voice,"It's time to end this! Everyone attack him at once! ARRRRAGH!!" Henry didn't need an interperter to tell him what to do. He held up his hands in the air and gave a cry.
"TRIBEAM!" yelled Rapidmon holding his arms out in a 'Y' shape and charging the green energy beam.
"TALISMON OF-" started Taomon raising her paintbrush into the air.
'LIGHT!' thought Rika swinging her arms down with a grunt as she felt more liquid welt up in her throat.
"ATOMIC-" started WarGrowlmon as he began to charge up his flame throwers.
"BLASTER!!!" shouted Takato and he roared with all the air he had inside of him until he felt his lungs were going to the collapse.
"GRIZZLY WING! Everyone, attack!" ordered Myotismon calling to his newly risin bats and the ones already fighting. They all charged at the attacks but they were dissolved like nothing! The 3 combined attacks of WarGrowlmon, Rapidmon and Taomon hit Myotismon straight in the chest and ended in a huge explosion! Dust, dirt and smoke filled the air making all the Tamers cough. It got up in Takato's eyes and Henry's ears making them itchy and irritated.
"Takato, are you okay?" asked a small voice.
"Guilmon?" asked Takato feeling around for his Digimon.
"That's me!" yelped his little Digimon happily as he reached his partner. Takato threw his arms around his Rookie level Digimon with a chuckle.
"Terriermon!" yelled Henry looking around,"Terriermon, where are you?" Terriermon giggled as he ran out of the dust and jumping into Henry's arms.
"Moman-tei!" Henry smiled. That was one word he could lip read.
'Where are you, Renamon?' thought Rika looking around worriedly but she sighed in relief as Renamon appeared beside her.
"Where is he? Where's Myotismon?" asked Jeri looking around. Leomon stood there for a few moments and smiled.
"He is no longer here. I do not feel his presence." replied Leomon.
"You mean... we won?" asked Takato.
'Renamon, is he really gone or did he get away?' asked Rika after a few more coughs.
"He is gone forever. I felt his presence leave this world just as our attacks made contact. It is impossible for him to have gotten away so quickly." answered Renamon.
"Takato!" gasped Jeri,"You're bleeding!"
"I... I am?" asked Takato.
"Yes, you're bleeding all over, Takato." said Guilmon in a worried voice.
"So is Henry! It's all over his neck!" cried Terriermon.
"Rika seems to be bleeding as well." added Renamon.
"We need to get help!" said Jeri.
"Let's go to my house! Its not too far and we can wash up there!" suggested Takato.
"Good idea! Let's go." said Jeri grabbing Takato's arm and leading him away fast.
"Wait for us!" yelled Terriermon as he(who was being carried by Henry), Henry and Rika ran after them. Renamon disappeared for about a second and reappeared on top of the bakery where Takato and his family lived. She watched as down the sidewalk came the 4 Tamers ran as fast as they could to get to the house. It didn't take them long and soon, Mrs. Matsuki(who was exremely confused) was helping them all get the blood off them. Takato and Henry were rising off the blood at a sink while Rika stood in the back alleyway, swishing her mouth out with water and spitting out the blood.
Have you ever heard the saying, 'Blood is thicker that water'? Well, whoever said it was right! Takato was having the hardest time getting it out of his eyes. Henry splashed water in his ears but it still took a long time to drain and Rika couldn't seem to get it all out of her throat. It kept coming back! It didn't really seem much like blood either. It was the same deep red color but it seemed to have a little more... substance to it.
Finally, after about 15 minutes of splashing his face, Takato managed to get out all of the blood. He splashed his eyes one more time and blinked them a few times just to make sure when something strange happened. A thick coat of white, filmy liquid fell off of his eyes and splashed into the sink. He saw colors and blured shaped when he opened his eyes.... Takato rubbed his eyes and then blinked them once again. Slowly, his vision began to clear and... and....
"Mom!" yelled Takato turning around to his perplexed mother, "I can see again!"
