Chapter 2: Flashback and a Brutal Death

"She was killed by Darklimon." Was what Emblemmon had said, her voice full of regret and shame.

Cunomon just stared at her, shocked. His heart began racing and his mind was clouded. He just could believe it. He couldn't! 'No! Lexx can't be...dead! NOO!!' Dinomon looked at him sadly. "It's not true...tell me it's not true!" The sky blue dragon cried out in vain. The white digimon sadly shook his head. "I'm sorry...but it's true. Every word of it. We're sorry we didn't have better news for you." Cunomon didn't seem to listen. He was too busy crying.

"The poor guy..." Came a strange voice. Cunomon perked up his ears, not afraid of hiding his tears which covered his face. "Who's...there?" Emblemmon narrowed her eyes, then relaxed. It was a good friend of hers. "Glad you could make it, Alimon!" She smiled warmly. Alimon nodded. She then focused on Cunomon, who was surprised that this was Alimon.

"You feeling alright?"

"Do I look like I'm okay?!"

"Sorry...."

"That's okay." Emblemmon put a wing on Cunomon's shoulder. "I know. You're upset that Lexx is dead. We were, too." The dragon glared at her slightly. He asked, "How would you miss her? I mean...you probably didn't see what happened!" Alimon's face took an expression of surprise. She had no idea that Cunomon was that attached to the human.

The dinosaur lowered her head in shame. "I...know what happened.." Dinomon lifted up his head from his paws and looked questionably at the dinosaur. He asked how did she know what happened when she claimed she wasn't with Darklimon on any attacks. Alimon said, "I know. But I did see what happened to Lexx....it was horrible. Just horrible!"

She put her front paws on her head, and shook it, tears rolling down her cheeks. "The screaming..the blood....ahhh!" She nearly broke into a crying fit.

Cunomon had finished crying, but that didn't mean he wasn't still upset. He walked over to Alimon, his eyes narrowed. "C-can you tell m-me what happened to her? She was my...friend." Emblemmon and Dinomon nodded at Alimon, saying it was okay to tell. They didn't know what happened either, and they wanted to know, too.

Alimon sighed. "Alright, but you ain't gonna like it." And so she began:

FLASHBACK:

"Cunomon! Cunomon where are you?!" Lexx screamed. She and Cunomon had fought over something so stupid. She had switched cereal boxes as a prank to get even with him when Cunomon told everyone that she was dating Izzy. Cunomon got so angry that he ran off somewhere. Lexx was trying to trail him, but to no avail.

"Where could that dragon be?" She asked herself.

Lexx continued on walking, determined to find her blue friend. The winds blown hard, and she shivered from the cold. She didn't know where else to look. 'I can't believe he would just take off like that.' She wrapped her arms around her body to protect her from the freezing winds. She checked in the last spot where Cunomon might have gone....and he wasn't there.

"Oh no...I can't find him." The winds blew harder. "Brrr...I have to get out of this weather." With that, she ran back to her house, which fortunately was only a few blocks away.

She swung open the door to her house, and walked in. SWAM!! Startled, Lexx swerved around, and frantically tried to open the door. "It's stuck!" She panickly said out loud. Her heart racing fast, she ran to the back door. It was locked, too! 'What's going on?! ' Cunomon would do something very drastic to get back at her...but this couldn't be Cunomon! He'd never do a thing like this!

Frantically, Lexx tried to open a window, but somehow they were burnt shut. There was no way out of her house! "How am I going to get out of here!?" Suddenly, from the shadows, came a low growling laugh. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Lexx's eyes widened with fear. She turned hear head around, and gasped! There stood a very large very hungry looking purple wolf. "WHO ARE YOU?" She screamed, trying to scrabble away.

"Hehehehe....I'm Darklimon. I'm hear to destroy this puny world of yours...starting with YOU!"

He lunged at her, and his mouth snapped on her jeans, and ripped a hole in them. Lexx screamed, and ran off to the living room. "CUNOMON! WHERE ARE YOUUUU?!" But no one answered. 'Duh! Because he ran outside and never came back in!' She hid behind the couch, but felt Darklimon's breath on her neck. "Running is futile, girlie."

"Ahhh!!!! GET AWAY FROM MEEE!!!" Lexx sprung up, and ran up the stairs, Darklimon in hot pursuit. 'This is fun. ' The evil digimon thought while chasing the frightened girl, who, to his advantage, was home alone.

Lexx ran straight into her room, and hid behind her bed. She whispered, "I wish Cunomon was here. He'd be able to stop this creep." "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A CREEP??!!" Lexx gasped, and turn around, shaking. Darklimon was standing on top of the bed, an evil grin on his face. "Give it up. You cannot hide from me!" The girl shook with fear. She had never been so afraid before. She backed off as far as she could in the corner, her eyes wide with pure fear. "Leave me alone..." Lexx muttered.

Darklimon only laughed, but his laugh was with pure evil and insincerity. "Yeah, right!" He growled. "That would ruin my plans on taking over Earth!" Lexx shivered more, backing even further into the corner, knowing she couldn't run anywhere. The purple digimon sniggered, "This is going to be easier that I thought. Make it easy on yourself, too, and don't move.."

He reared back, and lunged again, but this time, he missed because the girl had jumped out of the way. "Why you...yaaahhh!!" Darklimon's mouth widened and then snapped shut. His razor white teeth sank into Lexx's left leg. Blood started pooring out, staining her leg, Darklimon's teeth, and the floor. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Darklimon released her, and reached out forward toward the frightened and injured girl.

Chika kuni ite mo anata no kokoro ni
Tado ritsuku michi doko ni mo nainone
Chigau kidou wo mawari tsuzu keteru
Chikyuu to tsuki to ni totemo niterune

His red claws seized her neck. He started squeezing it hard. Lexx started gasping for breath. "Give it up, child! After you're dead, I can continue my plans! HAHAHAHAHA!!!" His voice boomed through the house with a laugh so cold that even fire would shiver.

"Why..must...you...." Lexx tried to ask, but broke into a coughing fit, blood staining her mouth. Her eyes were half closed. She weakly pulled back her good leg and kicked Darklimon hard in the chest. "Ahhh!" He screamed, dropping the girl. Unfortunately, she was so weak from the injuries that she couldn't get up and run away. Instead, she could only watch in horror as the big digimon advanced on her.

Mabushii kimochi wa afurete irukedo
Anata no yoru wo hon no sukoshi
Terasu dakedeii

"You little brat! You'll pay for that!" Darklimon, quicker than anyone else could watch, grabbed Lexx's throat and lifted her up to eye level. His mouth curved into a cold smirk. "Bye, bye, DigiDestined."

Itsuka kitto sasayaku kotoba
Kizukanai furi de aruide

With that, he lifted up his other paw, and strike his claws right into Lexx's stomach! Lexx let out a loud death scream. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Darklimon's claws poked out of her back. Blood was stained everywhere on Lexx and the floor, and on Darklimon's paws. He smiled coldly. His work was finished. He pulled his paw out, revealing a large bloody hole in the girl's stomach. He turned, and walked away, leaving the girl to die.

Lexx's mind was fading fast. She opened her eyes to see that the purple beast was gone. She weakly looked on the floor around her. There was nothing but blood. Her blood. She whimpered quietly, and shook with fear. Fear that she was going to die, and she knew it. No one could survive this. No one!

Kono mama damatte odotte imashou
Asaga kuru koro wasurete iiwa

She looked up at the ceiling, her eyes going blank. The last thing she said was, "C-cu-cunomon...." After that, she closed her eyes, tears of pain flowing out. Her body became limp, and the blood stopped flowing. Her heart stopped beating. She let out her last breath weakly, and all there was was darkness. Lexx was dead.

Mabushii kimochi wa afurete irukedo
Anata no yoru wo sotto sotto
Terasu dakedeii

Darklimon laughed coldly as he watched the girl die in a hidden place. "This will finish the job. WHITE FIRE!!!" Instantly, white blazes of fire shot out from nowhere and started to scorch the house into ashes. "HAHAHAHAHA!!! GOOD-BYE, GIRL!!" He laughed loudly. Within moments, the whole house was destroyed. The only thing untouched was Lexx's body, except for burns and blackened skin. Darklimon smirked. "My job is done here." He turned, and walked away, leaving Lexx's dead and bloodied body.

END FLASHBACK:

"No....no....NOOOO!!!!" Cunomon screamed after Alimon had finished telling the story. Even more tears rolled down his face. He was horrified that such a digimon would do that to Lexx. 'How dare he!' Cunomon screamed in his head. "He will pay!!!" Rage and hatred raced through his mind.

Alimon narrowed her eyes as well. "Darklimon is only a Champion, but he has the power of an Ultimate. His attribute is Virus." Cunomon forgot about his hatred temporary, and looked at her. "You never told me what attribute YOU were. So...are you Data or Vaccine?"

Alimon backed up a little. Her voice was full of...regret? "I'm Virus." She said, quietly, but loud enough for Cunomon to hear.

"YOU'RE A WHAT??!!" He screamed.

"I'm a Virus Digimon". Alimon stated again.

"You! You must have done something then!" Alimon was offended! "Well, I never! Sure, I used to be evil, but after what I saw happen to...Lexx....I gave up my evil ways. I couldn't bear hurting anyone like that. Really!" Cunomon's hatred turned to sadness.

"I'm sorry...I...." "You're still angry. We all are, too. Darklimon will pay for what he did to your friend. I promise!" Emblemmon smiled warmly at Cunomon, who stifled back a sob, and wiped away a tear with a yellow claw.

"I'm so sorry..Lexx..."
