The Call: Chapter 5
~*~
Ken: Due to the fact that Sam hit heath over the head with the Quantum Physics book too many times, heath has lost her memory, so we're taking over this part until her memory comes back.
Sam: It's not my fault! She wouldn't stop singing that cursed song!
Ken: Don't insult the ones who created you, Sam!
Sam: Anyway, you're the one who hit her over the head with the chair!
Ken: DID YOU READ THAT LAST CHAPTER?! AND WHAT SHE DOES TO ME IN THIS CHAPTER?!
Sam: Okay, she did deserve that...
heath: *walks in* GRANDPA! *latches on Sam*
Sam: I might hit her again with my book if she doesn't get her memory back soon...
Digimon Emperor: *gets out of the closet somehow* KILL THE PARENTS!!! KILL!!! KILL!!!
Ken: Don't encourage her! Also, because her Internet connection was down for a day, we apologize for this one being late.
Wormmon: *comes crawling in* Hello, everyone! What have I missed?
heath: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!! A BIG MONSTER CATERPILLAR!!!! *runs out of the room*
Digimon Emperor: KILL THE PARENTS!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! *runs out of the house*
Wormmon: *sweatdrops* I'll take that as a lot.
Ken: You better see the last chapter!
Wormmon: Why do you think I came back?
Sam: heath is broke, lives with her parents, and currently thinks that I'm her grandpa, so please don't sue her.
Wormmon: What the heck happened?
Ken: Later, please review.
~*~
I walk slowly up to my parents, deaf to their pleas and begs for mercy, blind to their tears of fear and sorrow.
They fear me...
their own son...
good.
I'm only inches from them now, very slowly raising the knife in my final act to finish my weakling self.
I start to press the knife against the flesh of the man who thinks he's my dad's skin...
only to howl in pain, my brain feeling like it's splitting apart as my good side fights for control.
I clutch my head and fall to my knees, barely hearing the clatter of the knife as it falls out of my hand.
I go into a sitting position, wrapping my arms around my knees, starting to rock back and forth as the realization of what I was about to do hits me harder than when I found out the digital world was more than a game.
"I'm sorry," I sob with shame and sorrow.
"I'm so sorry," I whisper, feeling my clothing once again dissolve into my regular self.
No...
my true self.
I scream all of a sudden as a *snap* rings through the air, Daemon grabbing my arm, surprising me as I was so absorbed in my own sorrow by coming from behind.
He squeezes it harder, me whimpering as his pressure presses on the broken bones.
"You're going to regret your choice, Digidestined." He hisses, sending a chill down my spine. "I would kill your parents right now, but I have to get a little something out of you first, and I want to have your parents watch you suffer." He says, wrenching my arm behind my back, savoring my cry of pain as I feel my shoulder get ripped out of its socket.
I hear my parents screaming their concerns for me; I look up weakly to see them struggling to get free despite the claws digging into them from their captors.
They do care for me...
"I'm so sorry, Mama and Papa," I whisper my last tearful regrets as I feel Daemon's hand go where the dark spore is as I close my eyes
for the final time...
I feel the burning pain as the spore responds to Daemon's touch, and I know that this is the end now.
~*~
~General POV~
"KEN!" Everyone screams at the sight that beholds him or her when they step out of the portal.
Ken's parents being held MarineDevimon and Skullsatamon, and Ken being held by Daemon himself as he takes the dark spore.
"Agumon!" Tai shouts frantically, not having to say anything else as he digivolves to Mega at the scene, Gabumon doing the same, and the others rapidly digivolving and D.N.A. digivolving, jumping into the fight.
"The Dark Ocean!" Kari stops, shaking in fear.
Tai runs over to her, hugging her as he whispers words of comfort.
T.K. runs over also, "Kari, we really need you!" He says softly, urgently, "I know it's hard, but you can fight it!" He says encouragingly.
Her eyes open, looking shaken but determined, "you're right."
"IT'S TOO LATE DIGIDESTINED! I HAVE WHAT I NEED FROM THE BOY!" Daemon roars triumphantly, holding the limp Ken in one arm, and the dark spore from Ken in the other hand as he floats above the desperate battle, the Daemon Corps winning by a long shot, holding Ken's parents as shields.
"Now, let us go on our merry little way, or do you want him dead?" Daemon hisses, savoring the situation.
The digimon back off, realizing that they couldn't attack with killing Ken or his parents, Wormmon tearfully and helplessly watching.
"Now, lets go, shall we?" Daemon says to the Corp, stopping only when he realizes that the two megas are missing from the group.
"Terra Force!"
"Ice Wolf Bite!"
Daemon screeches, feeling the full extent of the attacks as he gets nailed from behind, caught off guard as he drops his cargo.
Ken falls limply towards the ocean, the digimon trying to rush over to him.
"Darkness Wave!"
"Nail Bone!"
"Flame Inferno!"
"Evil Wind!"
The attacks drive them back, allowing only to helplessly watching as Daemon dives for his prey...
"Wormmon digivolve to: Stingmon!"
"Spiking Strike!"
Maybe it was a final act of desperation for him, or maybe it was pure courage...
but Wormmon digivolves, throwing himself between Daemon and Ken, giving Garudamon time to catch Ken.
"You still can't stop us, digidestined! Flame Inferno!" Daemon roars, now enraged that his prey is out of his clutches.
Stingmon gets thrown back, getting full force of the attack.
"Justice Beam!"
"Static Laser!"
The two D.N.A. digimon attack, as Stingmon lands as Guarudamon lands, gently placing the still-limp Ken on the ground.
"Do you think that Stingmon and Ex-Veemon can D.N.A. digivolve?" An anxious Davis asks, hating to be on the sidelines.
"I don't think so, Ken's not in any shape to help in this fight," Joe says, carefully putting Ken's broken arm in a splint.
"Is there anything that can be done?" Sora asks, eying Ken's parents with concern, who are still being used as shields for Daemon and LadyDevimon.
"Until we get Ken's parents free, we're stuck." Mimi says with a sigh of defeat.
"There must be something that we can do!" Davis shouts, pounding the ground with his fist with frustration.
"We need a miracle right now." Yolie whimpers.
~*~
~Ken's POV~
Am I dead?
The darkness swirls around, and I feel the burning pain coming from my neck, making me wonder if Daemon has gotten the dark spore yet or not.
"Ken..."
I whirl around, jaw dropping in shock as my brother steps out of the dark.
"Sam! What's going on? Where am I?!" I demand softly, eyes filling with tears at the horror of the last minutes of being awake.
"You're not dead," he says somewhat reassuringly, "but you, your parents and the digidestined are if you don't do something."
"What can I do?!" I whisper helplessly.
"Remember..."
his voice, a mere whisper in the air, fades away.
"REMEMBER WHAT?! SAM! COME BACK!" I shout helplessly in the darkness.
All alone...
suddenly, the memories come pouring in.
"I WISH THAT SAM WOULD DISAPPEAR!!!"
"Sam, come back! I didn't mean it when I said I wish that you would disappear." I whisper in regret, choking on tears of sorrow that won't return for years...
not until my fall.
The death of Wormmon...
the sobs of sorrow, my body shaking like a leaf in the wind as I leave the marker of my partners death....
only a game.
My parents weeping, not for their genius son, but for the son that they lost on the way.
Me.
Me pressing the knife against my dad's throat...
then, the memories of happiness.
Wormmon returning to me, both of us crying uncontrollably as I find that part of me that I lost so long ago...
my heart.
The bubbles float gently in the sky, making me feel happy that Sam is proud of me.
Finally being the family that always should have been...
and never was.
I feel the light.
I feel the light rising, among the darkness, and I feel something fall into my hands.
"Use it well..."
my brothers voice whispers as everything fills with light...
I see once again the memories of what I did as the Digimon Emperor, and I only feel regret...
"Never again..."
~*~
~General POV~
The digimon fall, one by one, to the powerful attack of the Daemon Corps, afraid to fight back because of the hostage situation.
"We have to get out of here!" Mimi cries urgently, eying Daemon as he approaches them.
"I'm not leaving without Ken's parents!" Davis shouts stubbornly.
Joe, carrying the still unconscious Ken, replies, "Mimi's right, Davis. We're not helping anyone if we die here."
"I'M NOT LEAVING!" Davis yells.
"Very foolish of you, digidestines." Daemon hisses, dashing all hopes of getting out alive. "It is a pity that I have to finish you, but I can't have you follow us."
The flames gather in his hands, preparing for the power attack.
At the exact second, the boy in Joe's arms begins to stir...
"Flame"
the boy sees the light in the darkness,
the weight from the final gift from his brother in his hands...
now, it is time,
"Inferno!"
It is time to use it.
The attack comes sailing towards the children, the digimon helpless as it comes flying towards them.
As a single hand raises...
the memories of his past still flooding his mind as with the light...
and whispers the words:
"Never Again."
TBC...
