Heroes No More, Chapter Twenty-One: Risks
=============================
"They will all fall.", said Desiree. "As soon as I begin capturing their partners."
"But... Justimon didn't succeed in sending any partners to the Desolate Server...", muttered Impy.
"That is not important.", corrected Desiree. She paced around in her room, with her arms behind her back, trying to think up a good plan. "I've got nothing, Impy."
"Why not activate the Dark Seeds in those two Chosen...?", asked Impy.
"Now there's an idea...", said Desiree. "Hmmm... I wonder what those Chosen are up to. Laptop, show window."
-------------------------------
Yakaishi High:
Lee and Kevin were walking down the hall, heading back from first class, talking about Kevin's discovery on his laptop last night.
"You found a way in?!", asked Lee, amazed at his luck.
"Yeah, I did.", responded Kevin. "Come over after school and I'll explain everything to you."
"Alright..."
--------------------------------
"A way in to what?", asked Impy, coyly.
"...the Desolate Server.", growled Desiree. She glared at Kevin on her computer monitor. "That bug will be squashed."
--------------------------------
Kevin and Lee headed to the usual hangout spot, where Ace and Nathan were.
"Arik is still sick?!", asked Lee.
"Yeah, the widdle baby is all sleepy-weepy in his beddy-weddy.", mocked Nathan. Lee slapped him in the face.
"Like you when you got the flu, eh Nathan?", asked Lee, throwing his bag onto the floor. Nathan smirked.
"Yeah, ok, Sir Screws-alot.", said Nathan. Lee glared at Nathan.
"What the hell does that mean?", asked Lee.
"Exactly what it sounds like. You go out with Alex for only a week and you have sex with her. That's very self-centered, my friend."
"Oh my god. You would've done it in one day!", shouted Lee, getting ticked.
"Yeah, or maybe I would've waited till I got to know her first!", retorted Nathan. "I'm not just like 'Hey baby, come to my house and sleep over, maybe we can get a little bonk in'."
Lee glared at Nathan, he looked at Ace, who was sort of grinning and Kevin who was...
"...where's Kevin?", asked Lee. Nathan and Ace looked around.
"I don't know. He was here a minute ago.", said Nathan. "And his bag is still here."
"Hmmm...", thought Lee. (More like we have a James situation on our hands.)
"I'm betting Desiree got James to grab him. It's James's style and Kevin did find a way to get us back into the Desolate Server..."
"He what!?", exclaimed Nathan.
"Ace, you go search the top floor. I'll search the bottom. Nathan, go look outside.", said Lee, running for the door. (Please be alright, Kevin...)
---------------------------
"Welcome to my humble abode, Mr. Bowering.", said Desiree, as Kevin appeared on her bed after being transported by the laptop. Kevin looked around frantically before his sights fell on Desiree.
"You!", he shouted. He leapt at her, but she simply threw him onto the floor. "Agh, my back..."
Desiree leaned over him.
"Kevin, you lay there real still, and maybe I won't send you to the Desolate Server all alone.", said Desiree. She smiling brightly and then walked over to Impy. "Watch him. I'm going to see mom."
Desiree left the room and Impy heard the sounds of the door locking from the outside.
"Why is Desiree here all day?", asked Kevin, still hurt and not exactly preparing to get off the floor.
"She was kicked out of school.", said Impy. "But she's really a nice person at heart..."
"Like I'd believe that."
"You don't know her like I do.", said Impy. "She's just a little... er..."
"Insane?!"
"That's the word for it.", said Impy, leaning against the door. "Ya know, you wouldn't be in the mess if you weren't trying to hack the Desolate Server. You would need the password though."
"I had to help my friends."
"Hmmm... ya, well I gots no say in what she does. But I'll tell ya one thing... your partner is still alive."
"What?! Jijimon..."
"Yeah. He and Musyamon led some revolts against our prison but we stopped them. All of them died except Jijimon and Musyamon."
"Then... I have to go there!", shouted Kevin. He reached for laptop.
"Oh no ya don't. Bada-Boom!", shouted Impmon. The fireball grazed Kevin's arm, so he lay back on the floor. "Eh, just sit there."
Kevin did as told. But Impmon didn't notice Kevin connecting a cord to his own laptop and making a copy of Desiree's entire core program...
------------------------------------
Yakaishi High:
Lee stormed through the crowded halls, looking for James. After a few years, James wasn't very hard for him to pick out in a crowd. He saw Alex and waved at her. She ran over to him and gave him a hug.
"Ah, I'm glad you're here. Have you seen James?", asked Lee. Alex peered over his shoulder.
"Isn't that him right there?", asked Alex. Sure enough, there was James, heading to his 2nd class. Lee walked over to him and shoved him into a wall.
"Hey, what the hell?!", asked James.
"I know you kidnapped Kevin for Desiree. Now give him back."
James gave Lee an odd look. "I didn't kidnap no one for anybody. I haven't even got any orders yet today. Trainer."
"Order this.", said Lee, punching James in the face. James slugged him back when suddenly Mr. Work came and grabbed them both by the collars of their shirts.
"What's going on here?", asked Mr. Work. Neither boy answered. "I'm tried of your little fights, Lee and James. One more and I'm expelling both of you. Now get to class."
Mr. Work let them go and they went their separate ways.
"This isn't over, Willington."
"That's right, Trainer."
Alex sighed and then followed Lee to class, scolding him on leading fist first. Lee apologized to her, gave her a quick kiss and entered his English class. He glared at James as he walked by and sat down in his desk. He looked over and saw no Kevin.
"Kevin..."
Suddenly, Kevin's spot was occupied by somebody else.
"Hey, Lee.", said Allison, grinning.
"Uh, hi Allison.", muttered Lee, looking away to get his textbooks. "How's the boyfriend?"
"Oh, Ace? I dumped him."
"Already? Harshness. No wonder he wasn't talking this morning...", said Lee as he put his binder on his desk. Allison inched over closer to him and put her hand around him.
"So... I was thinking maybe we could do something today..."
"I'd like to. But I have a girlfriend. And I'm not going to cheat on her.", said Lee. Then he looked right into Allison's eyes. "...or dump her without even knowing the whole story first."
Allison sighed and pulled out her books, feeling defeated once again, but wasn't about ready to give up.
"You know, Lee. You left your game at my house last time you came over. I thought you could come get it tonight."
(She just doesn't give up, does she? Well, I did leave my game there...)
"Fine, I'll come over at six."
"Perfect!", she said, grinning.
--------------------------------------
Later that night:
Lee walked up to Allison's apartment door. Before he knocked, he looked over the balcony.
(I could always just jump off and kill myself. Eh, nah.)
Lee smashed his head four times on the door. It was answered by Allison's younger brother.
"Hey Lee. You here to see my sister?", asked the young boy.
"Yeah I am, Jason."
"Oh, well, she went out to get groceries, but she'll be back. Why don't you go into her room and wait?", asked Jason, opening the door and inviting Lee in. Lee took his shoes and coat off and went into Allison's room to sit on her bed and wait for her. He saw his game laying on her bedside table.
(It would be so easy to just take the game and leave now... but I should be nice to Allison, I suppose. I may not particularly like her anymore, but she seems to still like me...)
Lee looked up and saw a framed picture on Allison's dresser. Curious, he went over to inspect it and saw it was picture of the two of them while they were still going out. Allison was on Lee's back, giving the camera the peace sign. Both of them were laughing. (We were a cute couple...)
"You like that picture too?", asked Allison from behind him. He turned around to see her walking into the room. He put the picture down and walked over to her.
"Maybe. So what do you want to do for tonight?", asked Lee.
"I was thinking maybe go on a little walk...", said Allison. She moved to put her arms around Lee, but he stepped backwards.
"The walk is fine. The trying to get me to cheat on my girlfriend isn't. Got that?"
"Yeah, I do.", said Allison, with her fingers crossed behind her back.
--------------------------------
Central Park:
"Catch this one!", shouted Alex, hurling a rock into the air. Mikemon leapt upwards with her catlike agility and slashed the rocks into pebbles. The two of them felt that training was essential, as everyone knew that pressing battles were to come.
"Ok, now try this!"
Alex gathered all her strength and hurled the rock as high into the air as she could, falling backwards in the process. Mikemon cocked an eyebrow then quickly formulated a plan. As fast as she could, she leapt up to the top of a tree and extended her claws. She leapt into the air and slashed the rock in mid-air, landing promptly on her feet, like any cat.
"Good aim!"
"Good throws."
Alex, smiling, bent over to pick up a few more rocks, when suddenly, she heard a familiar voice.
"It's Lee! He'll be able to throw further than I can...", said Alex, excitedly. She ran over to the direction of his voice and was suddenly not so excited.
There was Lee, walking along normally and talking. But Allison was all over him! Inside of Alex, a little cord snapped. She stormed over there and punched Allison directly in the face!
"Keep your hands off my boyfriend, bitch!", shouted Alex. Allison, who had been waiting for this, leapt up and tackled Alex and they began slapping, scratching and doing all the other things girls do in catfights. Including name-calling.
"Whore!"
"Bitch!"
"Slut!"
"Ho!"
"Skank!"
"Alright, that's ENOUGH!!!", shouted Lee. The two girls looked at him. He had a very sincere look on his face.
"I am tired of you two fighting over me! And I won't put up with it any longer!!! ...unless you two take it to that mud over there."
The two of them kicked him in the leg and them resumed fighting. He hopped up and down in pain, and then looked at Mikemon.
"What are you looking at?", asked Lee.
"I don't know. Why do human girls always get jealous?", asked Mikemon.
"I don't know. But when they do, they catfight.", said Lee.
"I'm a cat...", began Mikemon, but she was cut off by a male voice. James.
"A lesbian love-fest right in the middle of the park. How enjoyable!", shouted James. Infermon was right next to him, breathing heavily, but did nothing.
"James, I'll make you eat your teeth!", shouted Alex.
"Yeah, you homo!", yelled Allison. James looked at Lee, who shrugged.
"You heard them, homo teeth."
James scowled at them, and then cleared his throat. "Anyway, I'd like you to meet my new friends! Earnest... Ace... come out!"
"What?!", shouted Lee. (James is messing with me...)
But, sure enough... Ace and DemiTyrannomon came out of the thicket of trees to the left of James, looking possessed. Leila and Earnest came out from the right side, looking the exact same way. James laughed.
"But... how? I don't see any dark or alloy necklaces on them!", shouted Lee.
"Ah, that's simple. The other day, Desiree injected Dark Seeds into their necks. Eventually they will grow into Dark Flowers, like mine, making them permanent slaves of Desiree. But until then, we at least have control over them.", explained James. Lee gritted his teeth. (Great. I have to fight my own friends!)
"Now gentlemen. If you will... attack!", commanded James.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Leila The Renamon Digivolve to..."
Leila threw her guns aside and fell on all fours, her body morphing into a quadruped. She grew a large mane, with many decals hanging from it. A dozen tails sprouted from her lower back and spread themselves out, with fire on their tips.
"...Leila the KYUBIMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"DemiTyrannomon...Digivolve to..."
DemiTyrannomon became encased in a ball of fire, which almost doubled it's size. Two wings and a tail erupted from it, until two claws and a head slashed their way out! He reared back and roared.
"DRAGONMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
Dragonmon and Leila charged at the Chosen. Lee quickly whipped out his D- Volver and teleported Kokuwamon over.
"What's going on!?", asked Kokuwamon.
"Dragonmon and Leila are possessed! You have to take them down!", shouted Lee.
"Uhhh... okay.", said Kokuwamon, unsure of himself.
"Ready to Digivolve, Alex?", asked Lee. Alex pulled out her D-Volver and nodded, pulling herself off the ground.
"What about me!?", asked Allison. Alex turned to her.
"We don't need you! So piss off!", hissed Alex. Allison was hurt, and she turned and backed away. Lee had no time to argue, as the enemies were almost upon them!
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Kokuwamon!!! Digivolve to..."
Kokuwamon grew about three times his normal size. He grew huge metallic pincers, and his body became shaped like a huge four-legged bug. Two wings that resembled jet wings bursted out of his back and his eyes glew red. He was covered with ancient inscriptions of Digi-code.
"...TECKUWAGAMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Mikemon! Digivolve to..."
Mikemon lost her cat-form and grew into a human-shape Digimon. She had cat ears still, and long golden red/blonde hair cascading down her back. She is wearing a raggy looking olive green sports bra, and a olive green cloth that ties at her right side and hangs around her waist.
"...KYMBIAMON!!!
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Alright! Now let's see what Mikemon's Ultimate form can really do!", shouted Lee, excitedly. TecKuwagamon instantly leapt at Dragonmon and the two of them locked in combat! Leila spread out her tails.
"Fox Tail Inferno!", shouted Leila, launching multiple fireballs at Kymbiamon, who easily dodged them!
"Try this attack! Speed Star!", shouted the angel Digimon. Dozens of diamond fragments (like Renamon's Diamond Storm) were launched at Leila, catching her directly in the face! She reeled over backwards, but then, with a flash of light, leapt up as MetalKyubimon!
"This could get tricky...", muttered Alex.
"Dual Blasters!", shouted MetalKyubimon, launching the missiles at Kymbiamon. While the angel Digimon avoided them, Leila pounced on her!
"I'm going to rip you limb from pretty little limb...", growled Leila.
"Ugh! You're not like you used to be!", grunted Kymbiamon, struggling to get free. Leila prepared to bite down on her neck, when suddenly she was hit by a blast of ink and sent flying. Everyone looked to see MegaOctopimon, pouring all she had into her Ink Blast, keeping Leila at bay for the moment.
"Don't need me, eh?", asked Allison. Alex was embarrassed.
"I... I'm.. sorry...", sighed Alex. Allison smiled and walked over to Alex and put her hand on her shoulder.
"We need to do this as a team! After all, we are the only female chosen!", said Allison.
"Yeah! Alright then!", agreed Alex. Allison nodded.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"MegaOctopimon!!! Digivolve to..."
MegaOctopimon flashed with light quickly and grew a bit bigger. She gained a circular emblem on her forehead and her tentacles extended in length and became thicker!
"...ULTRAOCTOPIMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
The Ink Blast was replaced with an Ink Shock and began to give Leila pain! Kymbiamon leapt into the air.
"Nighty-night. Starlight Velocity!!!", shouted Kymbiamon, blasting Leila! Leila crumpled and de-digivolved into her Renamon form. The two Digimon let up their attack and calmed down. But suddenly, Leila picked up her gun and fired a bullet directly at Allison!
"Look out!", shouted Alex. Alex tackled Allison and the bullet missed them both. MegaOctopimon then proceeded to smash the hell out of Leila with her huge tentacles.
"You... saved me! Thanks!", exclaimed Allison.
"Any time... friend.", replied Alex.
Lee smiled at this. (There. Now maybe they won't argue and fight anymore. I should really THANK James for this...) Lee then looked and saw Dragonmon and TecKuwagamon still at each others throats. (...or maybe not.)
TecKuwagamon poured fire on Dragonmon, who countered with a fire attack of his own! TecKuwagamon ducked down and leapt at Dragonmon...
"Techno Scissor Claw!!!"
...taking Dragonmon out. Dragonmon collapsed onto the ground, and TecKuwagamon fell over as well, exhausted.
After making sure Leila was out of it this time, the two Ultimates turned their attention to James and Infermon. Infermon leapt to attack them, but was smashed aside by UltraOctopimon's mighty bulk!
"Give up, James! You're defeated! Now give us Earnest and Ace back!", yelled Lee.
"Defeated? I think not.", said James. Suddenly, James pulled Kevin out of the thicket. Kevin was unconscious, and James whipped out the knife, the one he used to stab Lee and held it to Kevin's throat. "Tell your Digimon to back off now! ...or Kevin's going to get it! I'm serious! I'll do it!"
"Look at that crazed look he has...", muttered Lee. "Better do what he says..."
"...right...", mumbled Alex. All three Digimon de-digivolved to their rookie stages.
"No more need for you two anymore.", said James. He snapped his fingers and the Dark Seeds in Earnest and Ace's necks were gone. The two of them collapsed instantly, being freed of the strain put on them by the Dark Seeds.
"And those two are going to a special cell in the Desolate Server.", said James, evilly. Leila and DemiTyrannomon disappeared!
"Wh-what the?", asked Lee. (Oh yeah. Ryo did mention that Desiree wanted to send our partners to the Desolate Server... this is bad...)
James tightened his grip on Kevin and held the knife closer to his throat.
"Now! Surrender your D-Volvers! All of them!", demanded James.
Lee looked at the girls and they decided they had no choice. They slid the three D-Volvers across the ground to James's feet.
"Thank you.", said James. "Now... watch your friend DIE!"
--------------------------
TO BE CONTINUED
=============================
"They will all fall.", said Desiree. "As soon as I begin capturing their partners."
"But... Justimon didn't succeed in sending any partners to the Desolate Server...", muttered Impy.
"That is not important.", corrected Desiree. She paced around in her room, with her arms behind her back, trying to think up a good plan. "I've got nothing, Impy."
"Why not activate the Dark Seeds in those two Chosen...?", asked Impy.

"Ready to Digivolve, Alex?", asked Lee. Alex pulled out her D-Volver and nodded, pulling herself off the ground.
"What about me!?", asked Allison. Alex turned to her.
"We don't need you! So piss off!", hissed Alex. Allison was hurt, and she turned and backed away. Lee had no time to argue, as the enemies were almost upon them!
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Kokuwamon!!! Digivolve to..."
Kokuwamon grew about three times his normal size. He grew huge metallic pincers, and his body became shaped like a huge four-legged bug. Two wings that resembled jet wings bursted out of his back and his eyes glew red. He was covered with ancient inscriptions of Digi-code.
"...TECKUWAGAMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Mikemon! Digivolve to..."
Mikemon lost her cat-form and grew into a human-shape Digimon. She had cat ears still, and long golden red/blonde hair cascading down her back. She is wearing a raggy looking olive green sports bra, and a olive green cloth that ties at her right side and hangs around her waist.
"...KYMBIAMON!!!
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Alright! Now let's see what Mikemon's Ultimate form can really do!", shouted Lee, excitedly. TecKuwagamon instantly leapt at Dragonmon and the two of them locked in combat! Leila spread out her tails.
"Fox Tail Inferno!", shouted Leila, launching multiple fireballs at Kymbiamon, who easily dodged them!
"Try this attack! Speed Star!", shouted the angel Digimon. Dozens of diamond fragments (like Renamon's Diamond Storm) were launched at Leila, catching her directly in the face! She reeled over backwards, but then, with a flash of light, leapt up as MetalKyubimon!
"This could get tricky...", muttered Alex.
"Dual Blasters!", shouted MetalKyubimon, launching the missiles at Kymbiamon. While the angel Digimon avoided them, Leila pounced on her!
"I'm going to rip you limb from pretty little limb...", growled Leila.
"Ugh! You're not like you used to be!", grunted Kymbiamon, struggling to get free. Leila prepared to bite down on her neck, when suddenly she was hit by a blast of ink and sent flying. Everyone looked to see MegaOctopimon, pouring all she had into her Ink Blast, keeping Leila at bay for the moment.
"Don't need me, eh?", asked Allison. Alex was embarrassed.
"I... I'm.. sorry...", sighed Alex. Allison smiled and walked over to Alex and put her hand on her shoulder.
"We need to do this as a team! After all, we are the only female chosen!", said Allison.
"Yeah! Alright then!", agreed Alex. Allison nodded.
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"MegaOctopimon!!! Digivolve to..."
MegaOctopimon flashed with light quickly and grew a bit bigger. She gained a circular emblem on her forehead and her tentacles extended in length and became thicker!
"...ULTRAOCTOPIMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
The Ink Blast was replaced with an Ink Shock and began to give Leila pain! Kymbiamon leapt into the air.
"Nighty-night. Starlight Velocity!!!", shouted Kymbiamon, blasting Leila! Leila crumpled and de-digivolved into her Renamon form. The two Digimon let up their attack and calmed down. But suddenly, Leila picked up her gun and fired a bullet directly at Allison!
"Look out!", shouted Alex. Alex tackled Allison and the bullet missed them both. MegaOctopimon then proceeded to smash the hell out of Leila with her huge tentacles.
"You... saved me! Thanks!", exclaimed Allison.
"Any time... friend.", replied Alex.
Lee smiled at this. (There. Now maybe they won't argue and fight anymore. I should really THANK James for this...) Lee then looked and saw Dragonmon and TecKuwagamon still at each others throats. (...or maybe not.)
TecKuwagamon poured fire on Dragonmon, who countered with a fire attack of his own! TecKuwagamon ducked down and leapt at Dragonmon...
"Techno Scissor Claw!!!"
...taking Dragonmon out. Dragonmon collapsed onto the ground, and TecKuwagamon fell over as well, exhausted.
After making sure Leila was out of it this time, the two Ultimates turned their attention to James and Infermon. Infermon leapt to attack them, but was smashed aside by UltraOctopimon's mighty bulk!
"Give up, James! You're defeated! Now give us Earnest and Ace back!", yelled Lee.
"Defeated? I think not.", said James. Suddenly, James pulled Kevin out of the thicket. Kevin was unconscious, and James whipped out the knife, the one he used to stab Lee and held it to Kevin's throat. "Tell your Digimon to back off now! ...or Kevin's going to get it! I'm serious! I'll do it!"
"Look at that crazed look he has...", muttered Lee. "Better do what he says..."
"...right...", mumbled Alex. All three Digimon de-digivolved to their rookie stages.
"No more need for you two anymore.", said James. He snapped his fingers and the Dark Seeds in Earnest and Ace's necks were gone. The two of them collapsed instantly, being freed of the strain put on them by the Dark Seeds.
"And those two are going to a special cell in the Desolate Server.", said James, evilly. Leila and DemiTyrannomon disappeared!
"Wh-what the?", asked Lee. (Oh yeah. Ryo did mention that Desiree wanted to send our partners to the Desolate Server... this is bad...)
James tightened his grip on Kevin and held the knife closer to his throat.
"Now! Surrender your D-Volvers! All of them!", demanded James.
Lee looked at the girls and they decided they had no choice. They slid the three D-Volvers across the ground to James's feet.
"Thank you.", said James. "Now... watch your friend DIE!"
