The Evil Awaits…Part 2

Written by SoRa-cHaN!

Sensuta looked out from her bedroom window. She loved the castle view from the high mountaintop. She'd look out into the ocean or to the snowy caverns…but not tonight. Sensuta silently watched Hall Taiora. There, 30 men we risking their lives to fight It. She was scared for all of them…especially Schuyler…

"Still looking outside? It looks the same from 5 minutes ago," Sora teased as she walked into their room.

Sensuta and Sora shared a room. It was small and cozy, giving a warm feeling. There was a mothball-ish smell that lurked in the stone room. On the right side was Sora's bed, and on the left was Sensuta's. And in the middle was their window. A mirror hung next to the closet and a tapestry that Sora made when she was younger hung on the wall. Sensuta smiled lightly as the thread unicorn.

The sky shined brightly tonight. A crescent moon hung above them and stars twinkled from all directions. They all smiled to Sensuta as she frowned.

"Sora?" Sensuta asked.

"Hum?" Sora stood next to Sensuta who stood next to the window.

"You think they're gonna be okay?" Sensuta looked at her sister for an answer.

"Yes, they'll be okay," Sora replied smiling to Sensuta.

"You sure?"

"Of course…maybe it was just a jinx last night, don't let stories go to your head," Sora faked a smile now.

She wasn't sure if they were all really safe. She knew the monster was real…Sora could feel it in her bones. But she too hoped they would be safe and sound.

A gentle wind blew in the room, and the candle began to flicker. Leaves blew about in the breeze, and the larks grew quiet. The last bit of the sun's rays fell behind the hills. Night had come.

The two sisters knelt next to the small window opening to say their prayers. They closed their eyes and spoke to God.

"Please, watch over them all…help them destroy the monster…they are all brave and don't deserve to die. Amen…" Sensuta prayed silently.

Sora blew out the candle and they crawled into their cozy beds. Sensuta flipped the covers over her head in fear. Her breath quivered but she must not lose hope.

*****************************************************************

The men stood guard around the titanic hall. Inside, Schuyler stood watch. He and a boy named Gary (Jin) were the only squires and the youngest protecting the hall.

"Are you scared?" Gary asked.

"I fear nothing…yet I also fear everything," Schuyler replied.

The two stood next to Sir Keillor who was guarding the door. The tall man looked like he was falling asleep. Every now and then they jabbed him with their elbows.

"Today's the day…" Sir Keillor whispered, "It's when our lives will be hung in the balance. We cannot fear today…we need to use our fear as strength, even as hope."

Schuyler and Gary looked up to him. Sir Keillor was a tall, wise man and very intelligent. Sir Keillor was a lord of a nearby fief. He had a family, though most if it fell apart. His wife had died a few years before and his son was taken away from him. His brother was King Yoru, king of Kamiya.

The ground shook…a smell swarm around their noses. A low biting voice grumbled. A small chuckle laughed in the cold night air.

Schuyler slowly turn his head to look at the door, he heard people. He heard men scream and cry out. He held his breath. Fear quivered within his veins. Lub lub! Lub lub! Schuyler could hear his heart beat.

"BANG!!!!!!!"

The door fell inwards! Sir Keillor, Schuyler, and Gary jumped back in surprisement. They could see a dark shadow and darkness surround them. The first thing that got to them was the malodorous smell.

Gary stiffly opened his eyes, knowing the monster was big and wanted to eat them. He knew it was evil, and going to kill him. Gary knew it would want to slice his head off.

But as he looked, a boy half his eyes stood in front of him. His features wild, but still recognizable. Pitch black, beady eyes looked at the three. A pool of blood surrounded his feet and a stream had made its way into the door. Tattered cloths, once clothes hung from him, giving a barbarian look…

"…Derrick…?" Sir Keillor asked as he recognized one of his pupils.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Derrick cackled into the sky of the night, "Alive you are now, my teacher…NOW YOU SHALL DIE!!!"

Derrick charged sword first ready to hack Sir Keillor's head off. Sir Keillor intercepted the attack with his own sword. The moon's light fell upon the warriors' blades. They released each other's swords and continued their fight.

Droplets of blood fell onto Sir Keillor's sword. The battle went on through the night…

*************************************************************

"GYAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" screams bellowed through the kingdom.

Sora's eyes flashed open. Sweat dripped from her cheeks. She sat up and looked to her sister's bed. Not a body lay in the covers… A panic crossed Sora. She got up and ran down the hall. Sora saw a suit of armor as decoration, and stole its sword.

"Sensuta…" Sora murmured to herself in fear, "Why did you run off now???"

Sora pressed her lips together and created a whistle to call Biyomon. Her pink companion flew through a window to Sora's side. The pink bird yawned, obvious it had been awoken.

"What's the matter?" Biyo asked as she saw Sora's worried look.

"Hurry and digivolve! There isn't time! Sensuta went down to the hall below the mountain!" Sora yelled.

"Right! BIYOMON DIGIVOLVE TO…BIRDRAMON!"

Sora quickly mounted the large firebird's feet. They broke through the wall as rocks and stones fell to the earth below. Down the mountain they went. Danger was approaching.

*********************************************************************

Sensuta gasped for air as she ran down the rocky mountain. The tattered ends of her nightgown were soaked in blood from the cuts all over her legs. She didn't care.

"Hum hum hum…"

Sensuta stopped short.

Evil chuckles rung from all around her…the cold wind blew harshly. She drew her sword from its scabbard. The metal rung as it touched the chilly surrounding.

2 pairs of blood red eyes watched her. Dead ahead she saw them. She held the sword in front of her as she did so many times before. Why did it feel different now?

The sword felt heavier, colder, and even more deadly than it had seemed before.

She held onto the leather handle tightly. She raised her head high. Sensuta wasn't scared…she wanted to fight whatever that was there. It was strange how she didn't feel scared, just a wanting to kill 'them'.

"Well…" one spoke, "What do we have here?"

"A human girl…" sneered the other, "A delightful treat."

"What do you want?" Sensuta asked bitterly, "What is going on down there???"

"We want to kill you, then the others from wherever you're from, and what's going on down there? Ha…the king's so-called guards are mere play toys for our master. They will all…die…" said the first one.

The two stepped out of the darkness' shadow and into the moon's light. The normal glow seemed ghastly and spooky this night. The larger of the two had giant bat wings, and horns from its head. Three leather belts bounded its waist, and monstrous hands with giant claws snapped at Sensuta, as if wanting to catch her. Muscles filled its arms and legs. Veins pumped with a dark blood through out visible veins…

"Heh…my name is Devimon," it spoke as a thin smile lined his lips.

The second stood next to Devimon. Fangs that dripped of blood appeared from its red lips and grinned at her. A large cape spread from its back and blew about in the biting wind. Yellow hair spiked its head, and a skull and cross bones marked it's shoes. Blue pantaloons ran down its legs and a mask was worn on its face. Its tongue licked his bloody fangs.

"Yummy…I heard young children taste better than adults…I am Myotismon…" the vampire replied.

The two cackled and howled in the night. A chorus of evil sounds was heard, escaping the two.

"Now, we shall…kill you!!!" Devimon raised his hideous hands and dove for Sensuta, ready to plunge his claws into her.

Sensuta was a quick person, and even with injured legs, she jumped and landed on his hands. Devimon bit his lip as her weight pushed down on him. He flicked her off as she flipped back and was set onto the ground again.

"That's all you've got?" Sensuta challenged.

"Heh…pathetic human!" Myotismon growled and charged for her, "CRIMSON LIGHTNING!!!"

Sensuta ducked the red electric attack and charged back at him and swiped her sword. Devimon's hands swooped for her once again. Sensuta's sword flashed through the air causing the loud sound of a claw and blade intercepting. Devimon smiled at his worthy opponent as he heard the mountain ring with the sound of hate. His claws lashed out at her again… Sensuta grabbed her sword and yelled out a battle cry. Her sword plunged into Devimon's skin then through his sinewy flesh. Black blood flowed down her sword. As Sensuta yanked out her sword, a finger fell to the ground.

"You're not as easy as you seem…" Devimon uttered.

Sensuta smiled mischievously and dashed for him again. Devimon flew above her, his legs like springs. Sensuta quickly turned around and Myotismon appeared. Once again, the red firey light glew from Myotismon's hands. This time it had caught Sensuta's arm. She yelped in pain. Sensuta held her breath, not wanting to smell her sizzling flesh. She lashed out her sword, breaking the chain of firey electricity.

Once again Sensuta held her sword with both hands. Blood pulsed down her arm where the attack had stung her. Her opponents grinned and laughed at her.

"You fool…you'll never win…" Myotismon growled.

"Yeah!? Well take this!!!" Sensuta dropped her sword and dashed for a tree.

Devimon and Myotismon stood in confusion. Sensuta grabbed a large, sharp branch with both hands. She gathered her strength and yanked it off. She looked to Myotismon in a look of hatred. Sensuta began to run…faster, faster, and faster! She clutched the giant piece of wood and drove it into his heart. Dark blood spurred out all over Sensuta soaking her from head to toe. Her chestnut hair stuck to her face. She looked disgusted as she wiped the blood from her eyes. Myotismon clutched his chest before falling dead cold onto the floor.

"Nothing like the old fashioned way…" Sensuta murmured then looked to Devimon, "Wanna try your luck?"

Devimon snorted, "Heh…never mind you human. Go down to the hall where your friends lie…you can try to save them, but I doubt you will…"

His large wing gripped the air, and he flew back into the dark forest.

Sensuta breathed in short gasps before running the rest of the way down to Hall Taiora.

*****************************************************************

Sir Keillor tightened his grip around his sword. It was a challenge to fight his own student. Sir Keillor was kind, and he had no intention of ever fighting his pupils for his life.

"Die!!!" Derrick cried.

His sword swiped his neck where the chain mail (A/N: Is dat how ya spell it?) broke leaving a cut behind.

Schuyler was enraged and attacked Derrick from behind. His sword pierced Derrick's arm, and he bellowed in pain. Blood pooled to the floor. Derrick looked at Schuyler with fierce anger and charged at him.

"METEOR WING!!!"

The massive fireballs fell around Derrick. As soon as he looked up, a boot kicked his face. Sora jumped off the giant bird and onto the floor, smirking at her attack.

Everyone looked at Derrick in horror as a dark power surrounded him and his cut begun to heal. They soon realized it was going to be very difficult to defeat him.

Knights rushed in the hall and began to attack the young boy. Sora and Schuyler dashed out of the crowd, and hid behind a corner.

"Have you seen Sensuta!?" Sora asked.

"Why would she be here???" Schuyler replied.

"When I woke up, she wasn't in bed anymore, where else would she go!?"

As Sora finished her sentence a bakemon attacked from behind. She lashed out her sword and slashed it into the ghost. It deleted and more of its kind approached and attacked them.

The two began to slay the evil creatures. Their hearts beat in fear, neither of them had ever been a battle of massacre. Soon only one was left.

It stood high above them, sneering and laughing. It didn't look like the others they fought. Its scythe was in its grasp and eyes glowed from the hooded head.

"You are pretty good…" it said, "I am Phantomon, the leader of the bakemon. You have slain them, and you shall pay…"

It dove at the two, and they ducked. His scythe went for Sora's head but was intercepted by a sword. She looked to her side where Schuyler stood and pushed the evil monster away. A duel between the three began.

Clangs and jangles were heard as swords and scythes hit each other. The melody of war raged on. Sweat dripped down Sora's forehead as she slashed the phantom with her sword. A red liquid ran down Phantomon's body.

Phantomon growled in response and shot at her with his scythe once again. As he had them cornered, he raised his weapon. It gleamed in the moon's light… The scythe seemed to slowly go down and get them…to kill them, to hear their screams wake the dead… Sora shut her eyes in fear.

SHING! Sora opened her eyes. She was alive. Phantomon fell to her feet with a 'thud'. Behind the dead Digimon stood a bloody figure carrying a sword. Schuyler and Sora stood in horror, scared of what it was.

"Hey!" she said as she stepped into the moonlight, "I've been looking for you guys!"

"Sensuta!" Sora cried out and hugged her sister.

"No time for touching moments, we gotta get outta here!" Schuyler said.

They ran down the vast corridor. They looked around and saw bloody bodies that lay on the cold marble floor. Schuyler looked and saw Sir Keillor being helped up by another knight named Logan. (A/n: Tee hee hee! Tribute to me favorite Taiora author!)

"What happened?" Schuyler asked.

"The monster has gone along with his two disciples," Logan replied as he looked sadly to the dead warriors.

"What disciples?" Sora asked.

"Derrick and Matt…" Sir Keillor answered, "They were taken over by the powers of evil…"

They all looked at each other in fear…

"We're going to need help…" Sensuta said looked at her older sister.

"And I just know where we can get it," Sora murmured.

********************************************************************

Once again the sun rose in dread in the Takenouchi Kingdom. King Keisuke looked at the hall with dismay. He shook his head.

"What are we going to do?" Queen Atsuki asked.

"Go for help," Sora replied.

Queen Atsuki looked to her daughter, trying to smile.

"And were do you suppose we get that?" she asked.

"Across the sea…as soon the monster kills us all…it'll go for the Kamiya Kingdom…" Sora answered.

Queen Atsuki and King Keisuke looked at each other. Did they trust the Kamiyas?

King Keisuke sighed, figuring there was no other option.

"Messenger Teresa!" he called out, "Send a message to King Yoru of Kamiya to send his most magnificent warrior to help us defeat this creature!"

The townspeople gasped in shock, that this was so horrible that they had to have help from the 'enemy'.

********************************************************

Teresa walked through the Kamiya Castle's main room. At the head of the room sat King Yoru and Queen Yoake. She got stares from the people of Kamiya. They knew he was from Takenouchi.

She soon reached the throne and bowed deeply to the floor. Her dark hair fell back as she stood upright.

"What do you want?" King Yoru asked.

"Your highness, I have a message from King Keisuke of Takenouchi," Teresa replied.

"What now!? More land threats!?" A man yelled from the crowd.

"Hush…" Queen Yoake said, "What is it, young lady?"

"Please, Ma'am…Takenouchi is being attacked by an unknown monster. Many warriors have died in battle, and we need your strongest warrior to help us," she answered.

"Why should we send are strongest fighter to your kingdom? What if this was just a joke?" King Yoru questioned.

"This is no joke…please. This plea has been made from Princess Sora. She has nothing to do with the war. Can you at least listen to a girl of harmony?" Teresa implored.

King Yoru nodded. He knew the princess very well, and was very fond of her.

"As you wish," King Yoru replied, "Only if thou warrior decides to volunteer."

Prince Taichi looked at the other knights around him. He looked to Sir Fujiyama, his teacher. He bit his lip, whether or not he should volunteer. He cared for Sora, and he wanted to help. Taichi took a deep breath and walked to his father.

"Father…I shall go. Take me and a few other knights. We shall go fight." Taichi said to his father.

King Yoru looked to his son's chestnut eyes and nodded. He trusted his son to make the right decisions. Takenouchi would never be an enemy to King Yoru. His younger brother lived there, so it would always be a part of him.

"Taichi, take Sir Daisuke, Sir Takeru, Sir Koushiro, and Lady Hikari your sister. Take care, and be safe. Take the ship in the port. Fill it with provisions for your trip." King Yoru replied.

"Yes, father," Prince Taichi bowed and followed Messenger Teresa.

The other pages and squires followed behind him to the ship. Takeru smiled. He would be with his brother again. Long ago, his mother took him to Kamiya while his father and Matt stayed behind. Takeru hasn't seen either since.

They boarded the ship, and they were on their way. Taichi polished his sword and sharpened it. Adventure of a lifetime…and love of eternity…
