Destiny's Eve: Part 4
It was an odd sight for any Digimon to see the Bakemon scream in terror. They fled from their dark church, a wave of white. The Digimon that loved to frighten others, were now scared to death. They charged across the dark mountain, with the Daemon Corps right behind them.
Ladydevimon was in the lead, followed closely by Skull Satanmon and Musyamon. "They are fast, I'll give them that," Ladydevimon said.
"We'll get them though," Skull Satanmon said,"No one is faster than I am."
"Boast like that got you killed the last time," Ladydevimon said,"But, if you so wish, prove your superiority, and destroy them."
Skull Satanmon laughed. "Thank you." He quickly charged in front of Ladydevimon, then used his staff to propel himself into the crowd of Bakemon. "Nail Bone!" Within a second, all the Bakemon were gone.
"Well," Ladydevimon said, landing next to Skull Satanmon,"This section of File Island has been wiped out. Let's move on to the ice mountain area, there's a couple of Frigimon and Mojyamons that are waiting for us."
"You're not going to hurt anybody else!" they heard a voice shout,"I'm stopping you, here and now."
Ladydevimon laughed as she turned to the right. "Oh, are you now, Weregarurumon?"
"That's right!" Matt said, as he and his Digimon ran into view,"Marine Devimon might have separated us, but, we still have enough power to take you out!"
"Guess again!" Skull Satanmon laughed. He charged at Weregarurumon and slammed his glowing staff into the side of Weregarurumon's head. He then shot all the way to the ground and pounded the were-wolf in the underside of his chin.
Matt's Digimon stumbled back. "Ha!" Ladydevimon laughed,"As you can see, you can't beat us! Maybe if you could still Digivolve into Metalgarurumon you could, but, you gave that power up, didn't you? HA!"
"We can still beat them," Matt said,"Don't let their taunts hurt you!"
"Right," Weregarurumon said, regaining his footing. He charged at the Daemon Corps, but, Ladydevimon charged down and slashed Weregaurumon in the face. Then, Skull Satanmon brought his staff down and pointed it towards Weregarurumon's stomach. "Nail Bone!"
Matt's Digimon was covered in a bright, yellow light, then shrunk into Gabumon. Matt ran to his side, and lifted him up. "Let's get out of here," he whispered.
"Not so fast!" Skull Satanmon said, as he landed in front of Matt and Gabumon,"You're not going anywhere!"
He quickly grabbed Matt and Gabumon and threw them both into the wall of the Bakemon's church. Ladydevimon was on the Digidestined before Matt even slid an inch down the wall. She quickly bounded Matt's wrists to the wall with pieces of metal, that covered the upper portion of his forearms. She then did the same to Gabumon.
Both were unconscious, due to their heads slamming into the brick wall, when the Daemon Corps admired their work. "This will serve as a perfect example to those who cross Daemon!" Ladydevimon laughed,"Ha ha!"
Sora ran as fast as she could through the forest littered with street signs, she briefly flashed back to the first time they entered the Digital World, when Matt called this area,"The Forest or Irrelevant Road Signs."
"Sora," Biyomon said, flapping beside her,"Not that I'm not happy that you're happy, but, why are you smiling? Marine Devimon is right behind us."
"I know," Sora said,"But, sometimes memory is a funny thing."
The forest shook greatly as Marine Devimon pounded through. "We're going to die, aren't we?" Biyomon asked.
"No," Sora said, holding her D-terminal as she ran through the forest,"We're not."
Miriya's hands ran up Tai's bare back as he madly held tight to her bare body. In the short time they have known each other, they have quickly become more than friends. They didn't know what it was, but, something about each other was just perfect. Things escalated so quickly, but, Tai didn't care. It was like destiny decided to cut him a break, and fill the void in his heart left by Sora.
Miriya was thinking something along similar lines, when she heard a loud beeping sound coming from Tai's jacket which was slung over the chair to her desk. "Tai," she said,"Your....thing is beeping."
Tai smiled. "I know," he said, kissing her," and it's waiting for your thing to pick up."
"No," she said, lightly pushing him away,"That square, pager, thingy.."
He looked confused for a second, then realization dawned on him. "Oh, my D-terminal!" He pushed away from Miriya and jumped out of the bed. Unfortunately, when he jumped out of the bed, his foot snagged on the sheet and he slammed into the hard floor.
"Damn!" he said, limping over to his jacket. He pulled out his D-terminal and check his messages. He gasped.
"What is it?" Miriya asked, covering her self up with the sheets.
Tai hesitated for a second. "Its from....my sister," he said,"She needs my help in the Digital World."
Miriya didn't know what to say as she watched Tai get dressed. "I..I'm sorry, Miriya," he said,"But...the Digital World needs my help."
Miriya nodded. "I...understand, but....will you take me there?"
Tai smiled. "Yes, but, its dangerous there right now, but, I will take you there, I promise."
He started to walk out of the door, when he turned back to her,"And I always keep my promises!"
Miriya watched him leave her room. A second later she saw a bright flash of light from the computer room, and she knew he was now in the Digital World.
"What is wrong with me?" Tai asked as he landed on File Island,"I really like Miriya, a lot, so, why did I tell her that Kari sent me the e-mail, when it was Sora? Why did she call me? Maybe..." A smile crossed his face,"Maybe, because she is starting to like me, again?"
"Tai!" he heard Agumon yell as he ran towards him,"I was sleeping when I was suddenly pulled here by you. What happened?"
"I don't know," Tai said, walking towards the forest,"But, Sora called for my help?"
"Sora?" Agumon asked,"Listen, Tai, I don't want you to get hurt.."
"We've got to help her," he said, starting to run through the forest.
"Tai," Agumon said,"Listen to me! Ever since Azulongmon gave you some power so that I could Warp-Digivolve into Wargreymon, I have been able to sense other Megas. That was how I knew Black Wargreymon was on Earth."
"So, what are you saying?" Tai asked, without slowing down.
"There is a Mega Digimon on File Island, a very powerful one."
"Who?" Tai asked.
"I don't know,"Agumon said,"but, we've got to be careful."
"Spiral Twister!"
Biyomon tried valiantly against Marine Devimon, but, she was no match for the massive Ultimate. With simple ease he swatted her into the ground where she slammed into the ground next to Sora, cowering under a large tree.
Marine Devimon laughed wickedly as he reached down towards Sora. She brought her knees to her chest and clutched them tightly. She closed her eyes and waited for the moment when her life would end, but, it never came.
She opened her eyes and saw Marine Devimon's claw inches in front of her head, a second later, it shattered apart. Marine Devimon was completely gone, and in his place was a familiar figure.
"Wargreymon!" Biyomon shouted.
"Tai!" Sora cried happily as he ran to her side and helped her to her feet,"You came."
"Of course," Tai said,"I said I wouldn't let anything happen to you, and I always keep my promises!"
When Sora was on her feet, she began to brush the leaves off her clothes. "What's happening here?" Tai asked.
"Its the Daemon Corps," Sora said,"They're slaughtering the Digimon on File Island. We've got to stop them."
"Daemon Corps?" Tai asked, turning to Wargreymon,"Was it Daemon that you sensed?"
"Most likely," Wargreymon said.
"Tai," Sora said,"We've got to find Matt, I have this feeling that something terrible has happened to him."
Tai's stomach twisted into a knot when he heard Sora say that. "Sora," he said,"We've got to find out if we can help any other Digimon first. They're getting slaughtered, they need our help..."
"No!" Sora almost yelled,"I've got to find Matt!" She turned around and ran into the forest, followed by Biyomon.
Wargreymon turned to Tai. "Are you just going to let her run off like that?"
"What should I do?" Tai asked,"Try to save Digimon's lives, or, help the woman I have no right to love save the man she loves, who just happens to be one of my friends?"
Tai watched Sora run deeper into the forest, then sighed. "Come on, Wargreymon," he said, running after her.
"Nail Bone!"
Skull Satanmon tore through a standing Frigimon, ripping him to shreds. Skull Satanmon laughed in glee as he heard his victims scream in pain. He stood over the disappearing carcass of the Frigimon and looked around the area. There were hundreds of bodies littering the white snow mountain, and hundreds more joining them as Ladydevimon blasted through the Mojyamons and Frigimons. "This is too easy," he sighed,"I want a challenge."
"Ours is not to question why," Ladydevimon reminded him,"We are to slaughter all the Digimon on File Island as a sacrifice."
"To who?"
Ladydevimon sighed as she turned to face the in-comming Digidestined. "You know," she said,"I am getting really tired of these interruptions."
"What are you talking about?" Skull Satanmon laughed,"Now's the chance to get some really fighting!"
"You're not going to defeat us!" Aquillamon said, slamming into Ladydevimon,"We'll stop you from hurting anyone else!"
Aquillamon brought Ladydevimon close to the ground so that Ankylomon could hit her with his spiked tail. Paildramon went after Skull Satanmon.
The DNA Digimon made the first move. He soared forward, his fist ready to attack. Skull Satanmon jumped into the air, Paildramon's attack missing totally. Skull Satanmon pointed his staff down. "Nail Bone!" he shouted.
Paildramon was blasted in the back. "Not bad," he said, landing on his feet. "I almost felt that one."
"Ha!" Skull Satanmon laughed. "Its obvious to anyone that you're barely standing."
He jumped into the air, on the left. "Nail Bone!" he shouted.
Paildramon jumped out of the way before the energy blast could hit him. "Desperado Blaster!"
"Ha!" Skull Satanmon laughed. He hovered back to the right. He pointed his staff at Paildramon. Before the he could turn around, Skull Satanmon fired. "Nail Bone!"
Paildramon was hit in the face, blasting him into the ground. He struggled to get up, but, he fell to the ground. Skull Satanmon ran over to him and placed his staff at Paildramon's face. "Now you die!"
Suddenly, Skull Satanmon screamed in pain as something slammed into his back. "Arg!" he yelled as he flew to the right.
Paildramon got to his feet and looked to the left. He was surprised when he saw a Megaseadramon floating in the air. "Huh?"
"Davis!" a familiar voice said.
"Michael?" Davis asked,"What are you doing here?"
The blond American ran over to his friends,"Betamon called for my help, so, I came. What's going on?"
"We don't know," Davis said, watching as Megaseadramon joined the battle,"All we know is that the Daemon Corps are slaughtering these Digimon for a sacrifice."
"For who?" Michael asked.
"We don't know," Ken said, shaking his head.
Aquillamon pounded Ladydevimon in the stomach, which sent her spinning into Skull Satanmon. While the two members of the Daemon Corps were trying to get out of the pretzel, the Digidestined Digimon attacked.
"Desperado Blaster!"
"Thunder Javelin!"
"Blast Rings!"
"Tail Hammer!"
Both Ladydevimon and Skull Satanmon screamed in pain. They shot up into the air, and both charged towards the Digidestined. "Now you die!"
"Paildramon Mega Digivovle to Imperial Dramon!"
The Mega Digimon pointed his cannon towards the incoming Digimon. "Positron Laser!" The Daemon Corps didn't have time for a scream before both were vaporized.
"Davis," Yolei mumbled,"You...your Digimon killed them again."
"They wouldn't have stopped until every Digimon on this island was destroyed," Ken said,"Or would you have preferred to be their next victim?"
Yolei looked to the ground and sighed deeply. Ken walked over and put his arm around her,"I don't want anything to happen to you."
Yolei smiled. "Thanks."
Davis huffed and turned away. "We're still missing Sora and Matt, wait, where's Kasumi?"
"I'm right here, Davis," the girl said, walking around from behind a mailbox,"Without a Digimon, I couldn't fight, so...."
"Its okay," Davis said, taking out his Digivice,"Let's see....I'm reading one Digivice and....one Digivice that's losing strength fast!"
"What do you mean?" Cody asked.
"The Digivice signal is beeping slower than usual. Whoever's Digivice that is, we've got to get there soon, or they might not make it!"
Tai sighed deeply to himself as he watched Sora and Biyomon walked quickly as the Forest of Road signs changed to dark trees. "She's so worried about him," he thought,"A couple of years ago, that would have been me she was so worried about, I wish it still was."
"Do you recognize this place, Sora?" Biyomon asked.
Sora nodded. "Yeah, this is the place that Joe and I explored when File Island split up when we were fighting Devimon."
Tai was hesitant to speak for a second, then said,"I'm reading a fading Digivice signal on top of that mountain."
"Oh no!" Sora said, running up a path on the mountain,"What if its Matt?"
"Sora," Tai cried out, running after her,"There still may be more Daemon Corps! Sora!"
"Tai! Sora! Wait up!"
Surprisingly, Sora stopped, and both she and Tai looked to the sky. She smiled slightly as she watched Davis, Kasumi, Ken, and their Digimon ridding with Michael on Megaseadramon, while Cody, Armadillomon, and Yolei were ridding on Aquillamon. After they landed and jumped off of the Digimon, Kasumi hid behind Davis, but, Tai saw her. "Who's that?"
"Please don't tell him," Kasumi whispered to Davis,"I..I can't face him as his daughter yet."
"Um..this is Kasumi," Davis told Tai,"She's a new Digidestined, who hasn't found her Digimon yet."
"Really?" Tai asked, walking towards her,"Well, we'll need to find one for you then. Welcome to the Digidestined."
She bowed. "T-thank you."
Tai half-smiled, then nodded. He then looked at the other young man standing next to Davis. "Michael," he said, shaking his hand,"Its good to see you again."
Michael nodded. "Its good to see you too."
"I know that Japan isn't your home, but, I think it might be a good idea to get as many surviving Digimon to Earth as quick as possible to heal their injuries. Will you help us, Michael?"
"Of course!" he said,"You didn't even need to ask."
Tai's half-smile turned into a full smile,"Thank you."
"I can't take this any more!" Sora yelled,"I'm going to help Matt!" She turned and continued up the path. The other Digidestined followed her.
"So," Davis said,"Skull Satanmon and Ladydevimon are gone."
"And Wargreymon took care of Marine Devimon," Tai said,"That means that Daemon is left."
"But we don't know where he is," Cody said.
"I do," Wargreymon said,"He's on the island, I know."
Sora stopped at the end of the path, and screamed. "Oh my...Matt!"
The other Digidestined gasped when they saw Matt bounded to the wall of the Bakemon's church. Sora quickly pulled him down. "Oh, Matt," she said, almost crying,"Please be okay."
Matt slowly opened his eye. "Am...am I dead?" he asked.
"What?" Sora asked, shocked.
"That's it," Matt said, smiling,"I've died and gone to heaven. Where else could I see an angle..."
"Oh Matt," she said, kissing him lightly.
Kasumi felt her stomach turn inside out, while Tai's fist clenched together. "I can't take this any more," he whispered to himself, but Davis heard,"I have absolutely no chance with her. I waited so long to tell her, and she turned away from me....turned to the rock star Matt, the big celebrity. And Matt wants her, how could he not? Its over, I've lost her."
He took a deep breath, getting control of himself. "But, its their lives, their choice. I'm not going to stand in their way any longer. I don't care any more." He lifted his head back and shouted,"I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!"
Everyone stared at him strangely, but Davis walked over to him. He placed a hand on Tai's shoulder. "It's all right, Davis," Tai whispered,"I'm okay, now. I'm going to be fine."
He started walking away from the others. "Get as many injured Digimon as you can and bring them to a save place on earth. Get Joe as his brothers there to help the injured Digimon as soon as you can."
"What about you?" Davis asked.
"I'm going to find Daemon and stop this massacre."
to be continued....
NEXT: WARGREYMON VS. DAEMON!
It was an odd sight for any Digimon to see the Bakemon scream in terror. They fled from their dark church, a wave of white. The Digimon that loved to frighten others, were now scared to death. They charged across the dark mountain, with the Daemon Corps right behind them.
Ladydevimon was in the lead, followed closely by Skull Satanmon and Musyamon. "They are fast, I'll give them that," Ladydevimon said.
"We'll get them though," Skull Satanmon said,"No one is faster than I am."
"Boast like that got you killed the last time," Ladydevimon said,"But, if you so wish, prove your superiority, and destroy them."
Skull Satanmon laughed. "Thank you." He quickly charged in front of Ladydevimon, then used his staff to propel himself into the crowd of Bakemon. "Nail Bone!" Within a second, all the Bakemon were gone.
"Well," Ladydevimon said, landing next to Skull Satanmon,"This section of File Island has been wiped out. Let's move on to the ice mountain area, there's a couple of Frigimon and Mojyamons that are waiting for us."
"You're not going to hurt anybody else!" they heard a voice shout,"I'm stopping you, here and now."
Ladydevimon laughed as she turned to the right. "Oh, are you now, Weregarurumon?"
"That's right!" Matt said, as he and his Digimon ran into view,"Marine Devimon might have separated us, but, we still have enough power to take you out!"
"Guess again!" Skull Satanmon laughed. He charged at Weregarurumon and slammed his glowing staff into the side of Weregarurumon's head. He then shot all the way to the ground and pounded the were-wolf in the underside of his chin.
Matt's Digimon stumbled back. "Ha!" Ladydevimon laughed,"As you can see, you can't beat us! Maybe if you could still Digivolve into Metalgarurumon you could, but, you gave that power up, didn't you? HA!"

He quickly grabbed Matt and Gabumon and threw them both into the wall of the Bakemon's church. Ladydevimon was on the Digidestined before Matt even slid an inch down the wall. She quickly bounded Matt's wrists to the wall with pieces of metal, that covered the upper portion of his forearms. She then did the same to Gabumon.
Both were unconscious, due to their heads slamming into the brick wall, when the Daemon Corps admired their work. "This will serve as a perfect example to those who cross Daemon!" Ladydevimon laughed,"Ha ha!"
Sora ran as fast as she could through the forest littered with street signs, she briefly flashed back to the first time they entered the Digital World, when Matt called this area,"The Forest or Irrelevant Road Signs."
"Sora," Biyomon said, flapping beside her,"Not that I'm not happy that you're happy, but, why are you smiling? Marine Devimon is right behind us."
"I know," Sora said,"But, sometimes memory is a funny thing."
The forest shook greatly as Marine Devimon pounded through. "We're going to die, aren't we?" Biyomon asked.

Paildramon got to his feet and looked to the left. He was surprised when he saw a Megaseadramon floating in the air. "Huh?"
"Davis!" a familiar voice said.
"Michael?" Davis asked,"What are you doing here?"
The blond American ran over to his friends,"Betamon called for my help, so, I came. What's going on?"
"We don't know," Davis said, watching as Megaseadramon joined the battle,"All we know is that the Daemon Corps are slaughtering these Digimon for a sacrifice."
"For who?" Michael asked.
"We don't know," Ken said, shaking his head.
Aquillamon pounded Ladydevimon in the stomach, which sent her spinning into Skull Satanmon. While the two members of the Daemon Corps were trying to get out of the pretzel, the Digidestined Digimon attacked.
"Desperado Blaster!"
"Thunder Javelin!"
"Blast Rings!"
"Tail Hammer!"
Both Ladydevimon and Skull Satanmon screamed in pain. They shot up into the air, and both charged towards the Digidestined. "Now you die!"
"Paildramon Mega Digivovle to Imperial Dramon!"
The Mega Digimon pointed his cannon towards the incoming Digimon. "Positron Laser!" The Daemon Corps didn't have time for a scream before both were vaporized.
"Davis," Yolei mumbled,"You...your Digimon killed them again."
"They wouldn't have stopped until every Digimon on this island was destroyed," Ken said,"Or would you have preferred to be their next victim?"
Yolei looked to the ground and sighed deeply. Ken walked over and put his arm around her,"I don't want anything to happen to you."
Yolei smiled. "Thanks."
Davis huffed and turned away. "We're still missing Sora and Matt, wait, where's Kasumi?"
"I'm right here, Davis," the girl said, walking around from behind a mailbox,"Without a Digimon, I couldn't fight, so...."
"Its okay," Davis said, taking out his Digivice,"Let's see....I'm reading one Digivice and....one Digivice that's losing strength fast!"
"What do you mean?" Cody asked.
"The Digivice signal is beeping slower than usual. Whoever's Digivice that is, we've got to get there soon, or they might not make it!"
Tai sighed deeply to himself as he watched Sora and Biyomon walked quickly as the Forest of Road signs changed to dark trees. "She's so worried about him," he thought,"A couple of years ago, that would have been me she was so worried about, I wish it still was."
"Do you recognize this place, Sora?" Biyomon asked.
Sora nodded. "Yeah, this is the place that Joe and I explored when File Island split up when we were fighting Devimon."
Tai was hesitant to speak for a second, then said,"I'm reading a fading Digivice signal on top of that mountain."
"Oh no!" Sora said, running up a path on the mountain,"What if its Matt?"
"Sora," Tai cried out, running after her,"There still may be more Daemon Corps! Sora!"
"Tai! Sora! Wait up!"
Surprisingly, Sora stopped, and both she and Tai looked to the sky. She smiled slightly as she watched Davis, Kasumi, Ken, and their Digimon ridding with Michael on Megaseadramon, while Cody, Armadillomon, and Yolei were ridding on Aquillamon. After they landed and jumped off of the Digimon, Kasumi hid behind Davis, but, Tai saw her. "Who's that?"
"Please don't tell him," Kasumi whispered to Davis,"I..I can't face him as his daughter yet."
"Um..this is Kasumi," Davis told Tai,"She's a new Digidestined, who hasn't found her Digimon yet."
"Really?" Tai asked, walking towards her,"Well, we'll need to find one for you then. Welcome to the Digidestined."
She bowed. "T-thank you."
Tai half-smiled, then nodded. He then looked at the other young man standing next to Davis. "Michael," he said, shaking his hand,"Its good to see you again."
Michael nodded. "Its good to see you too."
"I know that Japan isn't your home, but, I think it might be a good idea to get as many surviving Digimon to Earth as quick as possible to heal their injuries. Will you help us, Michael?"
"Of course!" he said,"You didn't even need to ask."
Tai's half-smile turned into a full smile,"Thank you."
"I can't take this any more!" Sora yelled,"I'm going to help Matt!" She turned and continued up the path. The other Digidestined followed her.
"So," Davis said,"Skull Satanmon and Ladydevimon are gone."
"And Wargreymon took care of Marine Devimon," Tai said,"That means that Daemon is left."
"But we don't know where he is," Cody said.
"I do," Wargreymon said,"He's on the island, I know."
Sora stopped at the end of the path, and screamed. "Oh my...Matt!"
The other Digidestined gasped when they saw Matt bounded to the wall of the Bakemon's church. Sora quickly pulled him down. "Oh, Matt," she said, almost crying,"Please be okay."
Matt slowly opened his eye. "Am...am I dead?" he asked.
"What?" Sora asked, shocked.
"That's it," Matt said, smiling,"I've died and gone to heaven. Where else could I see an angle..."
"Oh Matt," she said, kissing him lightly.
Kasumi felt her stomach turn inside out, while Tai's fist clenched together. "I can't take this any more," he whispered to himself, but Davis heard,"I have absolutely no chance with her. I waited so long to tell her, and she turned away from me....turned to the rock star Matt, the big celebrity. And Matt wants her, how could he not? Its over, I've lost her."
He took a deep breath, getting control of himself. "But, its their lives, their choice. I'm not going to stand in their way any longer. I don't care any more." He lifted his head back and shouted,"I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!"
Everyone stared at him strangely, but Davis walked over to him. He placed a hand on Tai's shoulder. "It's all right, Davis," Tai whispered,"I'm okay, now. I'm going to be fine."
He started walking away from the others. "Get as many injured Digimon as you can and bring them to a save place on earth. Get Joe as his brothers there to help the injured Digimon as soon as you can."
"What about you?" Davis asked.
"I'm going to find Daemon and stop this massacre."
