Chapter 4
Acheron whipped around quickly, his staff materializing in his hands and held in a defensive posture, to face the voice. Acheron lowered the staff then sighed slightly. "You're getting better."
"Thank you, though you deserve the credit," replied the owner of the voice, a beautiful Angewomon "Using your power's made you that much easier to track down. Don't think of trying to run, you're surrounded." On cue the woods now to Acheron's back and sides rustled, then out of them moved an Angemon, Exveemon, and a Stingmon.
"Oh goody, it's the goon squad," sighed Acheron tiredly.
Angewomon turned from looking at Acheron and was slightly surprised as she began to appraise her surroundings were a group of digimon and humans. 'That isn't possible, their aren't supposes to be Digidestined on this world' she thought before she was jerked out of her thoughts.
"Their not Digidestined, their Tamers." stated Acheron, noticing her stares. She frowned in response to his comment but kept observing.
'I know, I'll look at their auras to see their connections' she concentrated on her angelic powers, and then took another look. The colors matched up between the Tamer and his or her digimon. The brown haired boy and the Guardromon glowed orange, the brown haired girl and the Leomon glowed brown, the purple haired girl and the lopmon glowed pink, the blue haired boy and his Marineangemon glowed blue, the other blue haired boy and his Terriermon glowed green, the brown haired boy with goggles and the guilmon glowed red, and the orange haired girl and the Renamon glowed yellow. 'The last three have powerful auras they must be the most powerful, wait a minute! The Impmon is not giving an aura, how can he be Tamer-less and still be here, he should have one even if his Tamer abandoned him'
"Where is your Tamer imp?" Angewomon demanded hautely "If you don't have a Tamer why are you in this world?" The young demon's face took on a slightly stricken look as he gave his reply.
"They aren't here anymore"
"What did they abandon you? Probably to weak. "She couldn't understand why she was insulting him she just felt the need to be nasty and let out her feelings.
"Yes, I was. I was too weak to save them from It." he whispered barely able to be heard by her sharp hearing. Half of her wondered what he meant by that statement while the other half reveled in his pain,
"Leave him alone, now!" she looked at the new speaker, the Renamon had moved closer to him in a protective, and decidedly more than friendly manner and had just growled out the response. The malicious feeling in her spiked up at this to an even greater height except now she understood why, she wanted someone to hurt because she herself was hurting from her past, a past directly related to her quarry. She did what she did on instinct.
"I'm sure he has you to warm his bed and make it all better, right?" she sneered. Part of her regretted the words the moment they came out of her mouth, the other part relished them and the pain they caused. She almost jumped out of her skin when she heard an angry defense from below her.
"Show some respect, that _imp_ and the one who warms his bed as well as the rest of them saved your world from D-Reaper." Acheron shouted, his head spinning and his emotions in shambles. 'It's been years since I've even gotten angry, just that burnt out feeling and running and now I'm already losing my temper over something stupid when I could have escaped, I'm a dumbass' he thought.
Angewomon was too shocked to reply to Acheron, only to stare at the bearers of her insults "Then your Beelzemon and your Sukuyamon? And you're the rest of that group that destroyed the D-Reaper threat, Huh. Well guys lets get Acheron and get going" Angewomon turned to Acheron. Acheron tenses up and looks like he's going to move.
"Just hold up one second, your not taking him anywhere unless he wants to go with you" Said Takato
"Yea you have no right to take him anywhere" Supported Rika.
"Besides, we owe him a few." Finished Henry
"Listen, you don..."
"We don't need to know the situation" Interrupted Terriermon
"He saved our lives, like Henry says we owe him." Added Guilmon.
"He's earned our protection," stated Renamon. Angewomon sighed 'I suppose I'll just have to try and scare them of off'
"Celestial Arrow" the Attack would have hit a few feet away from Renamon's feet but a fireball intercepted it totally destroying her attack. 'They don't have anything nearly powerful enough to do......' her thought trailed off as she saw the Impmon holding an identical flame in his hands.' If he did that he must be the Impmon that penetrated the Kernel sphere and the one to finish it, the only one to be able to digivolve to mega on it's own, Beelzemon' she thought then was taken from her thoughts as she heard him speak.
"We don't want a fight, just leave, peacefully," he said, but his voice quivered with almost undetectable anger. 'Probably from the attack on the Renamon' she thought.
"Stay out of this, it isn't your fight" Acheron stated calmly "I can handle this myself"
"Yea, right, she isn't attacking you without a fight from us" responded Terriermon, the others nodding their head in ascent
"I'm warning you stay out of this," growled Angewomon, "We don't want to hurt you"
Walking to stand at the front of the group, Impmon chuckled. "I don't think we got nothin to be worried about lady, so unless you got some trick up your sleeve that can beat 4 megas maybe you should watch it." Angewomon growled and her group came to stand behind her.
"Were taking him and that's it. Celestial Arrow." all the digimon behind her attacked, then all the Tamer's digimon and Impmon attacked. The Attacks arced towards each other.
"Death's Reaper" the attacks were knocked out of the air and destroyed then the attack turned a group of trees into splinters. All eyes turned to Acheron who at this point had a look of extreme anger on his face. The Tamers were a little taken aback by this expression and Angewomon had a look of surprise. 'He hasn't attacked us yet while we were hunting him, let alone show anger, not in several years' she gasped mentally.
"The group of you have been itching for a fight for years" hissed Acheron, extending the blade on his staff "Now's your chance, bring it on. Come on cowards. You've always said you could have taken me if I was in this form. Here's your chance to prove it."
"So be it." Angewomon was about to attack when Angemon laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't. We'll handle him," stated Exveemon. Angewomon nodded her head in ascent. "Now, traitor" hissed Exveemon "its time justice be done for betraying her."
"You always did have a crush on her Veemon, I'll let you have the first move, make it good." Acheron hissed.
"Veelaser"
"Hand Of Fate"
"Spikening Strike"
The attacks shot toward him. At the last moment he whipped his scythe around, deflecting all three of the attacks.
"Now, it's my turn." Acheron put his hands together and touched his index fingers together. The park seemed to brighten as all the shadows and darkness in the park seemed to gather in his hands. To late his opponents figured out what was to happen next as he used his attack. "Shadows Of Oblivion."
The Darkness slammed into the three. In a flash Exveemon and Stingmon Dedigivolved back to rookie and fell to the ground unconscious. Angemon struggled to stay up and use and attack "Hand Of Fate" he cried out but nothing happened, while Acheron smiled grimly, watched Angemon De-Digivolve and faint.
"Is that better? Am I finally living up to your expectations as the Darkest Master?" he hissed at Angewomon. Angewomon was shocked at his reaction to the situation. 'He's never gotten this angry from being chased and he never attacked us' her words, however where different.
"You're such a bastard, having fun torturing three champions. I'm not surprised, you betrayed me, not surprising that you attacked those you considered friends." Acheron's reaction to this tactic of heir's usually made him depressed and made him back down, the exact opposite of his current reaction. They all looked in horror as black flames began to wreathe his body. His next words were growled loudly.
"I. Never. Betrayed. You." He was barely containing himself.
"What? I should believe that even though you turned into an evil monster that brought the entire digital world and all it's Digidestined to it's knees, with that whore and the others practically hanging all over you whenever I was around that you didn't betray me? How stupid do you think I am?" Her voice broke as she turned away.'I will not let him see my tears' she thought bitterly.
"So the source of that lie has nothing to consider or that the reason that I stopped was you?" he said.
"No. You've hurt me enough, now we finish it" She stated pulling back her hand as she created a bright arrow then held it their as it charged up. She was now openly crying as tears slid down her cheek but she did not sob. Acheron shut his eyes as he brought his hand up, gathering black flames into an orb. Their thoughts were the same and instantaniouse 'please let her/him finish me. I don't want her/him to get hurt'. Angewomon's hands shook as she held the arrow; Acheron's eyes were shut as he pointed his hand towards her.
"Celestial Arrow"
"Black Inferno"
Acheron whipped around quickly, his staff materializing in his hands and held in a defensive posture, to face the voice. Acheron lowered the staff then sighed slightly. "You're getting better."
"Thank you, though you deserve the credit," replied the owner of the voice, a beautiful Angewomon "Using your power's made you that much easier to track down.
