1 Death Alone Cannot Part Us
Part 6: Resolutions
PG
Kari's POV.
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, or any of it's respective characters. It belongs to those people at fox kids and… that other place who's name escapes me… for the moment. I do, however, own Hademon and Wraithmon.
***
My hands were shaking. Come to think of it, my whole body was shaking. An insane wash of emotions swallowed me, leaving me awash with happiness, hope, sadness, joy, and several other emotions I'm sure haven't been named.
Was he… was he real? Or had I finally lost it? I stood there, listening as Tk told his story. I knew most of it, of course. I was there. But then he got to a part I didn't know. Of feverish dreams, memories, past hopes, and pain. Always pain. Then he described his murderer, and, finally, his death.
Wraithmon was his name. No, I would no forget. Nor will I allow that abomination go unpunished.
No… no-one can get away with killing my Tk….
1.1 Oohh.. change…. Tai's POV
I couldn't… believe it. Tk had died, claimed by a coma; the heart monitor had given us all a harsh revelation of the truth.
And yet… and yet there he was, in a way, standing, a shimmering, purple apparition, speaking.
I looked around the room. Half an hour ago, It had been filled with grief, and grief alone. And now, now it was full of confusion.
I could say that I wasn't afraid, I wasn't scared. That I'd been brave, fearless, strong. But no-one could be like that. That wasn't courage or strength. That was cold, heartless inhumanity. I know it, and you should, too. It's ok to mourn the death of a close friend. It's ok to cry.
But now I didn't know what to do.
What if this was all a cruel, cold trick?
1.2 Davis' POV
My vision was blurred and wavery. I wiped the tears from my eyes, and all was clear once more.
Poor Tk. Poor, poor Tk. I wish I hadn't been so… so… stupid towards him.. I never actually forgot his name. I was just being a jackass.
But maybe, maybe he would be right now. He could talk, and that meant he was back.. right?
(as you may have noticed, I haven't got Davis' person under my thumb yet.)
1.3 Matt's POV
As I listened to Tk's words, I formed a grim resolution in my mind.
Wraithmon would pay. I would rip him to pieces myself if I had to.
The pain Tk had endured… all Wraithmon's fault. He'd stolen my brother from me, made my father cry. I would avenge Tk. I would have my revenge, I decided, as my grief slowly mutated to cold fury, blind rage.
"I'll kill him…" I whispered darkly.
Tk's hologramatic eyes widened. "No.. Matt.. you can't…. he'll kill you…"
"Let's see him try.."
"Matt, it's madness! He's stronger than the mega level. You can't! He's the Shadow Lord!" I looked at him. "'Shadow lord'? Where did that come from?"
"I don't know.. it sort of… popped into my head."
"Well, I'll remember to ask him how it got there before I kill him."
"You're really going to go through with this, aren't you?" "Yes, Tai, I am." I looked at him. I knew were this was going. At least, I thought I did. "And you had better not try and stop me."
"But it's madness!"
"What would you do if Wraithmon had killed Kari? Huh? You wouldn't let me stand in your way. I'm warning you, Tai. Don't get in my way." Tai nodded, understanding. " At least let us help you." My father stepped in here, and his voice sounded strange. "Please, Matt. Don't go by yourself. I don't… I don't want to loose you, too." I looked away. " Come if you want. Just don't get in my way."
I turned and left, heading for the nearest computer capable of opening the Digi-port.
" So, the child of Friendship whishes to fight?" Wraithmon sneered. He narrowed his eyes to slits and rose from his dark throne. "Let him come." Wraithmon left to send for his dog, the gargantuan, three-headed Cerberus.
NOTE: I haven't followed the Digimon storyline very religiously, (as you may have noticed) in the fact that 1) The original DD still have their' crests and 2) The original Digivices can open the Digiport. Also, I'm not quite sure weather Matt and Tk are half brothers or not, but in this fic they are, k?
P.S In this fic I am trying not to bash any of the characters, and am TRYING to bring out the best in each of them. (With an un- biased opinion.) I will, however, make Matt look considerably better than Tai, as he is my fave chara, and it fits the storyline, anywayz. If it fitted the storyline I would make Tai look better than Matt, but there's a snowflake's chance in hell of me writing a fic that even SUGGESTED that Tai may be better than Matt, so I regress.
Ooh, I almost forgot. Cerberus was Hades' dog in Ancient Greek Mythology, and as I've already used him (Hademon) I figured I may as well include his un-faithful (and most likely rabid) pet dog. Although I've made him Wraithmon's instead.
Oh, and, incidentally, I'm not intentionally copying anyone with any of my invented evil charas.
