PeterN: I know, way too long before I updated this. I'm running into writers block a lot now.
Theo 'Blitz' Leung – Thanks for the review. Glad I'm beginning to freak you out, seems to be taking to long to do that. But then again you may be a supporter of Chaos!
Magna Holy Erzangel – Oh, never doubt my ability to kill off some characters in the most sadistic method I can think of at the time (while keeping this below NC-17). What's KSA mean?
Ornithoppip – Thanks for the review. You seem to know Warhammer 40,000, do you play it, and if so what force? LOL, I'm not trying to make this confusing. Yep, Sora is in trouble, and you're guessing ahead of yourself with Matt and TK, last time I checked the Imperium wasn't in the habit of reviving children. Actually it's a small town somewhere that the Bloodthirster is demolishing, if he was destroying the town where the Digidestined live, how is Tai still watching TV? And I haven't really killed that many off… well, maybe I have….
Immaterium (Part 20)
A needle plunged into TK's arm as his body shook on the operating table. A shaky hand injected the contents and the doctor quickly put the needle down, grabbing the side of the table for support as shock washed over his now ghostly white frame. He looked quickly at the now still body before stammering a few indecipherable words.
Another doctor turned to face him, knuckles white where his fist was clenched tight around the edge of a cold metal table. A bead of sweat ran down his forehead, glistening in the harsh lights of the stark room. "Yes. He is supposed to be dead."
Joe looked up at the apartment block. Heat rising up through his body as the anger built up in him, his fists clenched and unclenched spasmodically as his lips furled up into a snarl of anger. A choked sob broke through the clenched teeth and he spun round, face flushed with blood as he fought to control the urge to kill Tai and every other being.
Slowly he walked away, eyes firmly fixed dead ahead of him, unfocused on the world as anger flashed in front of him. He quickened his pace, concentrating on walking. A single line of moisture dripped from his chin, and splashed onto the cold tarmac beneath his feet. The trace of the lone tear easily visible against the dark red anger of his face.
He looked back at the apartment block, now far into the distance. A few words escaped from his short, ragged breaths. "Damn you Tai. Damn you to hell!"
"TK…"
"TK.
"TK!"
The voice repeated itself over and over. More and more forceful each time. More venom in its tone after every utterance. The hate of the name it spoke dribbling to the ground like the blood he was covered in. He buried his head into his curled up arms, the blood that had seeped through his clothes threatening to drown him as it choked into his lungs like a plague.
His shoulder jerked back as he was pulled round. His eyes screwed tight so as not to see the horrible monster.
A loud thwack resounded throughout the area.
TK slowly reached his hand up to his cheek. He painfully felt the burning outline of a hand searing across his blood-soaked face. Slowly he looked up.
"Sora!"
"Come on TK. We have to get out of here!"
TK's eyes widened as he looked at Sora. Gone were here normal clothes, in their place was a light beige pants and t-shirt. Instead of the usual gloves were white ones that almost seemed to glow. But the thing that most drew his eyes was a slightly glowing pair of wings. Slowly his mouth opened as his lips tried to form words that refused to be spoken.
"Yes. We're dead. Now get a move on." She roughly grabbed his arm and yanked him to his feet. He stared at her, shock and adrenaline suffusing his wracked and tired body. A small tug and his arm was free, eyes glaring at the girl in front of him.
"You're not Sora!"
He took one last look at her before sprinting away from her as fast as he could, a spasm of pain shooting up his side as the stitch in his stomach became worse.
Sora looked at TK run away from her body and sobbed. Her body followed after the boy as the creature controlled it, allowing her only control to be over her thoughts. She screamed out inside her head as she looked on, helpless to stop the creature, but still feeling the pain of chasing after TK, trying to lure him to the maws of the creature as it forced her to do so.
Izzy slowly looked around the quiet, and save for him, deserted hospital ward. For the millionth time his eyes glanced upwards and he counted the tiles on the ceiling. He had to do something to pass the time. Anything. Twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thir….
A faint, consistent beeping distracted him. The sound continued, constant and unchanging beeps. His eyes snapped towards the little cabinet at the side of his bed. More beeping. He threw the draw open, a shout of joy echoing through the desolate ward as he saw his laptop lying there, for all that time, unknown to him.
Carefully he picked it up, feeling the familiar curves and weight of his favourite thing. He hugged it for a moment, before he suddenly put it down, blushing. Quickly he scanned the ward, thankful for a few moments that it was so empty. Hearing the insistent beeping he opened the laptop up, and looked at the screen. A single icon flashed in the centre of the computer and his eyes opened wider. Slowly he opened the icon, a feeling of dread filling him as to what it would contain.
Gennai stood in front of the recorder. Explosions rocked outside and objects fell off of shelves. He quickly turned the device on and started talking, praying that enough of his message would get sent before they got in.
"Izzy!" Gennai's distraught voice came out of the speakers, their usual tinny rattling unnoticed through the sudden explosion that sounded through them. Izzy jumped, and the voice continued. "You must… quickly. A terrible… has happened. A… evil, helped by the…"
The voice faded out as static overpowered it, one single, deafening explosion smashing through the speakers before the transmission died.
Gennai jumped backwards as the wall of his house caved in under the constant bombardment. High pitched, chattering voices filled the air as hundreds of dimly glowing eyes appeared around the edges of the hole. He forced a breath as he looked at the gaping maw in the wall, sweat slowly trickling down his forehead as his feet subconsciously shuffled backwards.
A sudden frenzy of activity at the hole and Gennai ran backwards, turning round and heading for his armoured suit. Walls and doors flashed by his eyes in a blur, the fast paced chittering of the hundred of gibbering creatures behind him spurring him on. Flashes of blue and red shot past him as energy lanced out of their forms and smashed towards him. Sparks fried his arm as he ran past an exploding console. A high-pitched laughter rang out from a thousand mouths. Machinery exploded, laughter rang, footsteps echoed, heart pounded. The cacophony of noise and desperation painful as he stumbled towards the suit.
Pain.
Burning.
Searing.
He screamed out as he fell.
The monstrous creatures descended on his prone form in a second, just meters from his way of escaping. Pain kept him conscious as he looked through the sea of pink and blue creatures at where his leg used to be. Now no more than a cauterised stump ending just before the knee.
Slow, steady, footsteps echoed through the rooms. The creatures were instantly silent, scuttling into the corners of the room. Gennai looked up. The wall vaporised and a giant figure stepped through it. It looked down on him. It's look alone sending waves of insanity through the hapless Gennai.
With a final flap of its great wings it stared at Gennai. It's beak quivered slightly as a long tubular tongue danced across it with ravishing speed. A shifting, warping rod held in it's two powerful talons lit the room as it changed through every colour in the spectrum. It slowly looked around the room, slight chitterings of the small creatures started up for a moment. A single solitary clack of its beak silenced them as its head snapped round to face the prone figure.
"Fool! You could not stop this event. You do not know what you are dealing with here old man." It glanced at some of the smaller creatures. "You shall be a feast tonight, Gennai. Sacrifice him to the great God!"
PeterN: Well, thought I was never going to get another part of this done seeing how long it took me. I'm hoping I get back into writing these more frequently soon. As always, read and review.
