Chapter 11: The Light and the Darkness
The Digidestined ducked and covered their heads as DarkAngemon's scythe slashed at their heads. The blade was about to when it jerked back and fell to the ground. The Digidestined opened their eyes and saw MetalDevidramon fighting with DarkAngemon.
DarkAngemon dodged MetalDevidramon's attacks and became angry, "You fool! This has nothing to do with you!"
Clive, who stood next to MetalDevidramon, shouted back, "Wrong! It has everything to do with me! You'll pay for what you've done!"
DarkAngemon blocked a shot from MetalDevidramon's cannon and laughed, "Those eight couldn't defeat me! What makes you think you can?" He pulled his fist back, "Hand of hate!" and pushed it forward. The energy beam shot out and hit MetalDevidramon, but didn't hurt him.
MetalDevidramon rose out of the dust that was created by the blast, "Fool! Your attack has no effect on one such as me!" MetalDevidramon flew into the air, "Megaclaw!" His metal arm shot out and struck DarkAngemon. The arm flew out, but missed DarkAngemon. MetalDevidramon swung his arm over and over again trying to pin the fallen angel.
DarkAngemon fell back, but remained unharmed, "Interesting." He picked up his scythe from the ground and flew at MetalDevidramon. He prepared to slash at him and said, "Now lets see how you do against this! Dark onslaught!" DarkAngemon slashed his scythe repeatedly. Crescent moon shaped energy blades shot out of his scythe at MetalDevidramon. They spun and twirled, making them hard to avoid. As they struck into MetalDevidramon, they ripped open his flesh and blew off his metal plating.
"Arrgh!" MetalDevidramon fell to the ground and de-digivolved to Kraymon, a black, Agumon looking digimon.
Clive ran to his friend, "Oh no, Kraymon!"
Tentomon talked in a surprised voice, "A Kraymon? Kraymons haven't digivolved before! In fact, I don't recall MetalDevidramons ever existing either." Tentomon crossed his arms and thought.
Izzy slapped Tentomon in the back of the head, "Hello? We have more important matters to attend to right now!"
"Oh, right."
DarkAngemon laughed as he landed on top of a lamp post, "That was too easy. I was looking for a good fight. I should have known better than to expect from you humans!" He gave another evil laugh.
"You want a fight? You got it!" A voice shouted from afar.
"What?"
Myn came in at break neck speed and rammed DarkAngemon. DarkAngemon crashed through a stone wall with a loud noise. He continued to fly through walls and floors until he came to a thunderous halt in the ground.
"Myn! You again!" DarkAngemon hissed as he got up and flew back through the hole he had made. "I tire of this. This time you must die!" DarkAngemon lifted his scythe in a battle position and picked up speed. He spread his wings and vaulted towards the human formed digimon. He yelled a war cry as he glowed red with enraged energy.
"This time we end it, DarkAngemon!" Myn pulled out his sword and chanted, "Divine blade, embrace life and live through me!" The blade illuminated into a white light. It's light shined in the sky as DarkAngemon charged at Myn. Beams of white light shined into the blade as he summoned energy through the sword. Its light became more intense as it absorbed more energy, illuminating the black sky.
DarkAngemon smiled, "Your laser show doesn't impress me, Myn!" He spun around in circles as he slashed with his Scythe, "Dark Onslaught Tornado!" The blades of energy shot out in all directions, slicing into buildings and anything else in their path. Most of them flew towards Myn, but they exploded before reaching him. DarkAngemon halted his advance in shock, "That's impossible!" He shielded his eyes from the light as it glowed ever brighter. "This power... This cannot be!"
Tai covered his eyes as the light made his vision white, "What's going on?!"
The ground began to shake as softly as the black clouds surrounding the city began to fire red lightning at the light. DarkAngemon shouted in rage as he commanded the skies to crush the light, " The power of Hell's gate! Crush life with swift strikes!"
The shaking became more violent as more lightning attacked the light. Izzy bumped into something as he tried to find shelter, "Sorry! We better seek shelter!" Red flashes shot past Izzy as he snuck a peek at the battle.
Matt struggled to keep his balance as the ground threatened to crack open, "How! We can't even see!"
Mimi held onto Joe as the lightning began to fire off in all directions. Their red lights streaked across the whiteness and blew apart anything they came in contact with. "Joe, I'm scared!" She tightened her grip around him, "Protect me!"
Joe hugged her to reassure her that he would keep her safe, "Don't worry, I'll always be here."
"It cannot be, only to those who do not believe." Myn lifted his blade of light and twirled it in the sky, " Divine rain!" Two swords of white energy formed around Myn. Now, fowl demon, you shall feel the wrath of those who have suffered because of you!" He grabbed them and threw them at DarkAngemon.
DarkAngemon dodged them and laughed, "Is that all you've got? Whoa!" DarkAngemon dodged another blade. He looked at Myn, who was summoning more blades to his hands.
Myn began to throw the blades faster. The blades of light shot out of the light like missiles. Myn summoned the blades as he threw each pair. When he reached his peak, it seemed he threw twenty at once. One finally hit DarkAngemon, allowing the others to make their mark. Hundreds of blades of holy energy ripped through DarkAngemon, keeping his limp body suspended in the air. Blood dripped from his body as holes were torn in it. His scream of pain lasted only a second, but it's cry echoed through the streets for eternity. As the blades struck into the explosion, it began to grow larger. The bright explosion became larger, and broke through the black clouds.
Tai shielded his eyes as the bright explosion made the darkness white, "Whoa! That's intense!"
Izzy tensed as the wind began to blow harder, "That explosion is going to rip everything apart!"
"Everyone, hang on!" Matt shouted as he began to get lifted up by the whirlwind caused by the explosion.
TK Held onto Patamon and his hat, "Hang onto what?" His voice carried off as he flew away with the wind.
Kari yelled, "No! TK!" She too began to fly with the current, "Oh no! Tai, help me!"
Tai reached out and grabbed his sister's arm, "Gotcha!" He strained to hold onto his sister and Sora. His legs were pressed against a car to prevent him from flying away.
The digimon were all lifted into the air and began to twirl in circles as the wind played with their bodies. Joe flew by Tai, his voice carried off into the distance, "Did I ever mention I get air sick!" Joe could feel the warm light begin to touch his body. It felt nice and welcoming, but the horror of getting sucked into the explosion shot only the most primal thoughts into Joe's mind. He screamed as the warmth covered his body, "Mimi! I love you!"
Joe entered the white light and it sent a shockwave outward as he disappeared. The wind began to moan as the forces pushed against stone buildings. Matt, Izzy, and Mimi were clinged onto each other. Matt twisted his legs around a lamppost, while Izzy clinged onto a fire hydrant. Mimi was holding onto Matt's hand and Izzy's foot. "My hair is getting pulled out of my head!"
Izzy could feel his arms beginning to get pulled out of their sockets. He feared that he would have to let go, but something else happened first, "Uh oh! The Hydrant is breaking off of the ground!" Izzy let go as it shot free. It smashed threw some windows as it began to twirl with the wind.
Matt felt pain jolt through his ribs as Izzy's weight was added to his already heavy load. He screamed, "Looks like the same thing's happening to this post!" The post tore from the cement roots it was given and flew into the air, "Whoa!"
The three flew off past Tai, Sora, and Kari. Tai's face became red as he used all his strength to hold onto the two girls, "Can't hold on forever!" He looked around at what was happening. The bright light still tore into the clouds, but was much dimmer now. "Hey! What happened to Clive? I never saw him pass!"
Sora shouted to get her message across, "Can't worry about that now, Tai! We have to do something! Yow!" Sora juked to the right as pieces of debris shot past her.
Tai began to fell the car get lifted from the ground, "Oh no! The car is coming loose!" Tai looked around for something else to grab onto, but everything seemed to be in the same shape as the car. He felt two hands lift him up. "Hey!"
"It is I," Myn said.
"Myn?" Tai stopped struggling in Myn's arms. "You have to stop that explosion! It's going to destroy the city!"
Myn closed his eyes, "I cannot. I did what was necessary for you to save us. Now go!" Myn let go of Tai and allowed him to get carried off by the wind.
Tai shouted, "Hey! What do you think you're doing!" Tai screamed as he was thrown into the sky with Kari and Sora. The wind twirled them in the sky is it carried them closer to the bright explosion. It became more intense as they got closer and ripped apart the remaining black clouds, sending a loud shriek through their ears. They entered the light and fainted as it blinded their vision.
The light became brighter as each Digidestined entered its bright mass. As Tai, Sora, and Kari entered, the light sent out a shockwave and began to collapse. The light died down and the wind stopped blowing. Myn stood and watched as the black clouds dispersed. "Good luck, Digidestined." He turned to look at what the darkness and light had hidden from the eyes of the victims. "You will need it."
"They have gone?" a voice asked from behind Myn.
Myn turned to see Darius floating above him, "Yes. It's up to them now." He turned and looked at DarkAngemon's blood covered body on the street. He lifted it in his arms and frowned, "This one was only a soldier to the true danger."
A light came from behind him and he saw his friend begin to float toward it. "Come, we must go." He slowly entered the small light in the sky, "The Magi need us."
Myn lifted DarkAngemon's body with him into the light. He took one last look at the destroyed Tokyo. Tears ran down his face as it disappeared from his view, "My home..."
The light vanished as Myn and Darius vanished in its bright cloak. The mid noon sun was covered by grey clouds that had risen since the battle took place. The pale sky reflected with sight of Tokyo. A grey pile of rubble.
