Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon; if I did, you would see this in Anime version, and the Dub music would be equivalent to the Japanese one. And I never will either... I didn't get the Digimon Contract for my birthday though I asked the Easter Rabbit for it.. wonder why?
Note: All characters, that is, Zoe and Takuya,
are both aged 17.
This is a Takuya x Zoe/Izumi Fiction. If it bothers you, don't read it. Easy,
ne? =p
Wakumon: In the previous chapter, Takuya arrived near Zoe, and took her
to hospital, confessing his ever-lasting love for her, which she returned gracefully,
although both of them felt it was something that was bound to happen sometime.
Then, they decided to go for a romantic walk, which will be this chapter...
MZ: Sorry for the long wait, I kinda forgot about this fiction... *dodges stones*... so, as usual, I'm using Dub terms, just for the fun of it, and since they ARE in a fanfiction, they can do whatever I want to make them do, so they're gonna do exactly what I wrote. Enjoy this tearful ending!! :P
----------------------------------------
A squeal cut through the midnight air...
'I can't believe you're taking me to Venice!!'
Why wouldn't I?...
'Um.. cos... uh...'
Smiling, Takuya looked at Zoe, as she returned his smile, and playfully grabbed his goggle-hat from his head, and ran out of the train, which had finally arrived. He rushed after her, laughing for all he was worth, noticing strange looks from strange people, as he semi-hugged Zoe and let her touch his hat. What did he care about others? He had Zoe.. she was everything for him.
They walked to a little pier, where they could see some BBQ & food stalls, each with a nice smell of cooking. As Zoe ran up to one, she returned with two huge pizzas, one of which she gave to Takuya.
'Mangia.'
'What's that... pizza?'
'Yes, and it's yummy too!'
'...are all these toppings?'
'Yeah... tuna fish, salsa, olives, capers, pepper...'
'Ok, Ok.. no lectures required...'
Silence engulfed the two, as they simply ate their pizzas, while walking towards the end of the pier.
'Oh... Takuya, look up there!!'
As Takuya raised his gaze to the midnight sky, he saw a huge cloud-heart forming. Looking around him, he saw that a couple had just shot it in the air with a weird type of cylindrical thingy.
'You want one?'
Zoe just shook her head, and looked at him...
I already have you...
'No... it just reminded me of our time
in the Digital World... Kazemon... the others.. how's everyone?'
'Oh... yesterday we were supposed to have this great party, to commemorate our first quest to the Digital World... I wonder what the others think?'
Zoe giggled, and handed Takuya her cell-phone, 'Phone one of them... tell them you're here with a little witch!'
'Never will...' said Takuya, half-smiling, as he dialled Koji's number, plus Japanese prefix, while hugging Zoe. However, as the phone dialled, someone grabbed him from his shoulder, and punched him.
'Don't touch my Zoe!' the person yelled, causing everyone to look. Zoe looked up at him, and half-shrieked at Takuya, 'He's Makato!!'
Makato... the guy who had hurt Zoe... he claimed Zoe as his object...
With anger swelling inside him, Takuya rushed at Makato, and pushed him with all his force. Being much bigger, Makato simply threw Takuya in a food stall, on a BBQ grill, where he immediately caught fire.
'TAKUYA!!!' yelled Zoe, tears in her eyes, as she saw her love getting burnt, 'Leave me alone, go away.. don't touch me.. please..' she told Makato, half-crying by now. She started to run towards Takuya, but Makato grabbed her, and threw her on the floor, and started beating her, 'You'll never escape me!!'
Makato grabbed Zoe's cellphone from the floor, and attempted to throw it in the sea, thus preventing Zoe from phoning, but she grabbed it before him, noticing that the battery was disconnected. Wildly, she tried to reach Takuya again, and didn't notice the people beside her staring.. why was nobody helping Takuya? She wiped the tears from her eyes, forgetting Makato, as Takuya... covered in flames, stood up weakly from the flames.
'ZOE!!!' he yelled, as he was being burnt. Suddenly, a bright light appeared, that lit the evening sky, and started to fall towards him. Everyone started to back away, except him... he knew what it was... his Digivice had returned.
(A/N: OK, just think that the Digivices stayed in the Digital World, or he left his in Japan, or something...)
..Grabbing his Digivice, Takuya raised it above his head, 'Execute Spirit Evolution!!' The flames he had on him seemed to cool down, but he couldn't feel Agunimon's power in the current world. Struggling, he kept trying to activate his Digivice, and suddenly, everything turned to DigiCode in front of his eyes, as he noticed that once again, he was Evolving to...
'Flamon!'
He knew everyone was staring at him, and didn't care about it. In the meantime, Zoe just looked on, mesmerized, as if the Digital World had opened again, half wishing she could Evolve alongside Takuya. Makato just looked at Flamon, and smiled at him wickedly. Zoe could also hear rumours in the crowd... 'What'd that kid do? He must've put on a costume... I guess the other one's mad!!' '...Demons I tell you!! Demons!!' Takuya only had her for support...
Flamon suddenly breathed fire towards Makato, and started speaking, 'The Flames of Justice will make you True! Until then... Sleep in Flames!!!' Then, Makato was blown away in the sea, and most of the people started rushing away, scared of what the creature that was before them had done. Zoe just stared at the tired Flamon; he looked too tired...
Suddenly, a Trailmon appeared in front of her, and she saw Flamon going in it. 'Takuya...' she whispered, as she saw him enter the Trailmon. The remaining people around her didn't see Trailmon, and they presumed that the demon had vanished to claim their souls too, and they all ran away after the other group.
Nobody else was on the pier, only her and Trailmon, carrying Flamon in it. 'Where are you taking Takuya?' 'He's not Takuya now. He's Flamon for eternity, and he'll live in the Digital World. Takuya's gone now.'
'No... Takuya...' Zoe desperately clutched his goggle-hat, which was still in her hands, to her chest, 'Take me with you.'
The Trailmon sighed, 'Lady Ophanimon has decided that the fate of Takuya would lie in being Flamon in the Digital World, and all of you Chosen Children will have to go back there when you die in the Human World. However, you'll have to live for now, until Lady Ophanimon tells you that your destiny roped you back home.'
'..Takuya knew he was going to.. leave?'
'Yes. While Evolving to Flamon, he heard Lady Ophanimon, who sent me for him. I must leave now, Child of Wind.'
'But...'
'Takuya would want you to live. Don't worry... he'll always watch you from the Digital World.'
With that, the Trailmon vanished into the midnight sky, as Zoe looked up to the stars, crying fully now, as she dropped to the floor.
----------------------------------------
Zoe didn't know when, or how, she got to her bed. It was as if the wind had carried her back home. Then, she fell in a deep sleep, where she heard Takuya's voice. He promised her that their love was distant, not from Italy to Japan, but from the Digital to the Human Worlds. She would wait until the day when she would Evolve again, and finally, go back to her beloved. Until then, the Distant Love would continue growing, until it finally blossomed in something special...
That's it then.. hope you liked it. I'm not good in romance-tragedies actually... I just wanted to write one for the sake of it. Wakumon's currently sulking in a corner, cos he wanted me to save Takuya from his death and imprisonment to Flamon, but I didn't, so there you have it.
Anyway, I hope you'll review this chapter, so I'll know exactly what to write in future fictions... did you like the romance? Or the tragedy? Or any part of it? Then review. Please. It's just down here... and I'd love to read a review. Thanks ^_~
THE END
