Chapter 17
I watched D'Artagnan wander out onto the battle field. We all stood inside of the portion above the gate. Takato decided to try and take out some of the archers with a bow and quiver left by a Sovereignty that was in the right place at the wrong time. He had luck on his side and hit most of those he aimed at.
Lisa stood by an unmanned fortification hole. She looked at what was going on outside. After only a few minutes I saw an image in my mind. An archer stood and pointed an arrow at something. Than I saw the gate and the hole Lisa stood by. I processed this quickly.
"Lisa! Watch out!" I yelled and knocked her to the ground. I head a whizzing sound and slowly got up. We looked at the wall behind us, and arrow sat where Lisa head could have been.
We gazed at each other thinking that arrow could have been one of our deaths. I looked around with new found eyes. Things move so fast, yet so slow.
"Argh!" I yelped and staggered. An agonizing pain ran through me. I looked at my side, nothing was there. I lifted up some of the shirt on my left side. A gash sat near my waist. No blood dripped from the wound.
I then looked up and saw through different eyes. Eyes that looked into another's, these eyes had the look to kill. In his human like face I could see the want to kill. His sword was raised high, ready to pierce the poor soul the lay at his feet.
This was no poor soul, this was D'Artagnan. I fingered two cards that were in my left pocket, the same two that Sue had gave me. Stone Armor and Fire Breath. I tugged the D'Arc off my belt and look at both of them. I switched which hand I led what. Then put Stone Armor in the slot and pulled it through. It fell to the ground.
I felt an uncomforting feeling on my stomach. I staggered some and set Fire Breath in the same slot. I pulled and fell to one knee.
"Joan, are you okay?" Sue asked and offered a hand.
"I'm fine," I told her getting up by myself. "I think... I think we need to head out to the battle field." She nodded and beckoned everyone else.

I sword fell and I closed my eyes. My eyes watered as the life I had lived passed like a bullet in front of me. I felt cold and hard. Then a grinding noise, I opened my eyes. I wore gray colored armor, no, not gray armor, stone armor.
He slowly moved back. His eyes widened as I stood up. The warrior's sword fell to the ground. I felt a pleasant burning sensation in my lungs. I took a deep breath and blew at him. A fire spouted from my mouth. He shrieked and turned into data. I snorted smoke.
"D'Artagnan!" A woman's voice called. I turned; it was Joan, the Tamers, and Lisa. Renamon and Artismon ran towards them. My breath was still hot, but it didn't burn like a wildfire anymore. My armor was also back the way it was.
A terrifying and deep laugh hit the air. I turned back the way I was facing. Lokimon stood on the cliffs that overlooked the city. His troops had fallen back. "Come on, lets go take out the trash," I said as Joan stepped beside me. We looked at each other and thought the same thing. Then sprinted off to the nearest cave system.
We had entered the darkness. Water dripped down from the great spears overhead. "Oof," I head Lisa say. We turned to face her, our eyes now keen to the darkness. A blue card lay in front of her. Artismon moved and towered over Lisa. The card changed into a D'Arc similar to Joans. Only the white was on the left instead of the right.
I saw Joan smiled as Lisa took it in her hand and got up. Artismon looked both disturbed and happy. We moved on and entered a huge chamber. Lokimon stood in the middle, a small opening behind him. He wore all black armor and a black cape; it all matched his jet black fur.
"We have had enough of this Lokimon. You will surrender peacefully and will face the consequences for your deeds. Or you can fight us and feel the torment that you have earned." Renamon said; her voice was no longer soft, but strong and hard.
"Is there a difference, either one is total destruction or hell!" He laughed his voice had what humans call a British ascent. "But out of the two I chose to fight. For I know I will win."
"You killed them didn't you?! You killed our friends, they both died at your hands didn't they!" Henry yelled and pulled out the sword he was given.
"Both," he laughed again, "no silly boy. I did not kill both. I may have stood in their way, but the driver died on impact. I however did kill the other one." He smirked "Yes, I killed one of them. I enjoyed ever second of it too. The fear was my pleasure. Yes, I snapped his neck, I killed him."

The two looked at each other. Then did a double take on Lokimon. "It was him," Kazu exclaimed.
"Why you son of a bitch!" The girl named Lisa said as she ran forward with her sword drawn.
"Oh you silly girl, didn't your mother ever tell you not to run with sharp objects?" He lifted one arm and as Lisa came within striking distance he hit her hard in the chin. She dropped her sword and flew back into the cave wall. She fell and lay unconscious.
"Lisa!" Joan said and ran over to her. D'Artagnan however growled and ran at Lokimon. Lokimon laughed mockingly then pulled his cape around him and disappeared.
