Disclaimer: I don't own digimon! They belong to Toei and Bandai and...aw heck with it!
I was reading the reviews on this story, and I reaalize the chapters really AREN'T long enough. So, to grant your wishes, I've combined what for me would normally be 2 chapters.
Ok, last chapter, Kari stands face to face against Daemon, and TK is going after her, even though he promised he wouldn't get involved...
The DigiSword
Chapter 6: The Mythical Weapon
"AHHHHH!...Oof!" Patamon landed on top of TK, who unfortunately fell on Gatomon. "Gee, sorry Gatomon," TK smiled.
"Ouch. TK, didn't you promise me that we would NEVER do that again last time?" asked the cat, brushing herself off.
"Yeah. Sorry..." TK laughed, rubbing his hand on the back of his neck.
"Well, we're here, that's for sure!" chirped Patamon. TK looked around. Patamon was right. The grey sand, gray skies, dark water...They had indeed arrived in the Dark Ocean.
"Where could Kari have gone?" wondered Gatomon.
"Beats me. I hope Daemon hasn't gotten to her before us," sighed the blonde boy.
"Hey! Look at this!" yelled Patamon. "Aren't these Kari's footprints?"
"They are!" exclaimed Gatomon. "And they lead...into that rock..."
"Those Scubamon can sure play some nasty tricks on you," frowned Patamon.
"Maybe not," said TK. "The footprints lead into the rock, yes. But they don't stop. Maybe there's a secret door there." Gatomon stared at him.
"Isn't that a tad obvious?" she asked.
"Well, I can agree with that," Patamon told her. "But then again, I don't think they expected anyone to follow Kari here."
"Okay then! I'm going to try and run down that door!"
"TK WAIT!" TK charged at the rock and went through the illusion. He shouted some screams of pain as he tumbled down the long flight of stairs and landed in the Great Hall of Daemon's Palace with a thud.
"Ow, my head..." he muttered as he rubbed the sore spot on the back of his head.
"Hey TK! Are you okay?" asked Patamon, flying to his partner, with Gatomon following close behind.
"How'd you get here so fast?" TK asked his partner.
"We slid down the railing," the two digimon both smiled. TK sweatdropped.
"Anyway, I'm fine. My back's a bit bruised, and my ears are ringing. Nothing serious."
"Wow, look at this place!" exclaimed Gatomon. TK looked around. The Great Hall was huge. He stared at the Tapestries hanging around him, especially the one with the katana that had the crests of hope and light engraved on them. There were a few windows on the walls. What he could see out of them was the water of the Dark Ocean.
"We must be in a palace under the water," gasped Patamon. TK suddenly remembered something.
"The Scubamon..."
"What?" asked Gatomon and Patamon at the same time.
"Remember when the Scubamon grabbed Kari the first time?" asked TK.
"Yeah."
"Well, they said they had an undersea master when the retreated underwater. Well, I'm thinking that this may not be Daemon's work, but the work of the Dark Undersea Master that the scubamon wanted Kari to fight."
"I get it!" exclaimed Gatomon. "But, they wouldn't grab Kari again after she refused to go with them."
"Exactly," TK said with a stern tone. "They wouldn't. But if it's for their master..."
"Oh my god! We have to hurry, or Kari may be in deep trouble!" cried Gatomon.
"Hey! I think she may be here!" Patamon called, pointing to a large metal door. TK tried pushing it, but it didn't budge.
"Dammit! I'm not strong enough!" he yelled.
"I don't think I would be either," Gatomon told him. "But, maybe since it's dark metal, then some shining power will be able to."
"It's worth a shot," said TK, taking out the green D-3. "Lat's rock, Patamon!"
"Right!" The Digivice began to glow. "Patamon digivolve to...ANGEMON!" A tall, long-haired Angel wielding a golden staff stood in the place of Patamon, a helmet covering what you could see as his eyes.
"Okay, Angemon, you know what to do!" smiled TK.
~~
"Okay," sighed Kari. "I will...become your queen. Just promise that none of my friends will be hurt."
"A wise decision, child," Daemon hissed. He had the Scubamon prepare a ceremony for the wedding. The Scubamon who brought Kari there was the priest. Kari was about to weep out the words 'I do', when...
"HAND OF FATE! HYAA!" The doors behind Kari and Daemon exploded, and in flew Angemon and Gatomon. "Daemon, I should've known," growled Gatomon.
"Angemon? Gatomon?" gasped Kari. "That means..."
"Alright, Daemon! Party's over!" yelled another voice. Kari recognized that voice as TK's. Tears began to fill her eyes as she ran over to him. However, instead of a hug, she slapped him.
"TK, why? Why did you break your promise?" she cried. TK, rubbing the red spot on his cheek, smiled. "Hey, I would've broken a promise either way," he told her. "If I hadn't come, then I would've broken that promise I made years ago."
~*~Flashback~*~
*Once again, I haven't watched Digimon for over two years! So this dialogue is going to be a tad off.
"Sora, I want to stay and fight with you!" cried TK. Piedmon's voice could be heard from far away.
"No, TK. You're the only one left who can protect Kari," said the auburn-haired teenager. "Now promise me, TK. Promise that you will protect her from danger." TK stared at Sora with tearful eyes.
"O-Okay. I promise that I will protect her at all costs..."
~*~end Flashback~*~
"I've kept that promise for years now," TK told Kari. "Which one did you think I would choose to break?"
Kari could only smile at this. After all these years, TK was still his old self, loyal and trustworthy. "Now, whaddya say we get out of here?" TK smiled.
"Right," Kari smiled back.
"Wrong..." hissed another voice. Daemon flew over, blocking the door. "You will never escape! Your power will be mine, Hikari!"
"Alright, Daemon," TK smirked. "You want her? You'll have to get past her best friend first!"
"I'll be happy to oblige," hissed Daemon. His right arm flew out at TK, grabbing him with a vice-like grip.
"TK!" Kari cried.
"HAND OF FATE!" yelled Angemon, the shining beam of light erupted from the angel's fist.
"DARK INFERNO!" Daemon screeched, as he held his free hand to fire furious flames to counter Angemon's attack. It worked, and was more powerful so it drove past the beam and singed one of the angel's wings.
"Ange...mon..." TK managed to croak.
"You will die by my hand," hissed Daemon. The boy struggled to reach his pocket for something. As he did, Daemon's grip tightened. "AAG!"
"TK! Let him go!" pleaded Kari.
"You wouldn't want your friend to worry, now would you?" snickered the dark digimon. TK tried again to reach his pocket.
"ANGEL ROD!" Angemon threw his golden staff at Daemon, who blocked it with his wing.
"Pathetic fool," he sneered. "You think a champion level can defeat me?" Angemon, although it was unseen, glared angrily.
TK struggled again to reach what was in his pocket, until finally, he got it. "Hey, Daemon," TK squeaked.
"What is it? Your last words, human?" laughed the cloaked digimon.
"Nope. Just that you forgot to confiscate something." TK pointed his D-3 at Daemon, and with a flash of light...
"NOO!" Daemon sheltered both his eyes from the flash, dropping the child of hope to his ground. TK knelt down, gasping for air. Kari ran next to him and hugged him.
"You're okay! You're okay! You're..."
"Kari?"
"Yeah?"
"I just wanted to say that you grip harder than Daemon."
"Oh, sorry."
"Here, I think these are yours," TK smiled, handing her her D-3 and D-Terminal. Kari took them gratefully.
"Gatomon, get ready," Kari commanded. Gatomon stepped up. "Ready as ever," smiled the cat.
"DIGIARMOR ENERGIZE!"
"Gatomon armor digivolve to...NEFERTIMON, ANGEL OF LIGHT!" Where Gatomon once stood, a beatiful winged sphinx floated. "Now, I'll aid Angemon in his fight," she said. The winged cat flew over to the fight.
Just then, a scubamon walked over to the two.
"What do you want?" demanded Kari.
"Follow me," the Scubamon told them after a long pause.
"What if we don't?" TK asked.
"Then you will suffer the fate of death from Daemon," hissed the dark creature. "I wish to show you something that may defeat him. Follow me." The Scubamon ran forward.
"Should we trust him?" whispered Kari.
"I don't know," TK answered. "But we have no choice right now." Kari nodded, nd the two started off after the scubamon.
"YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE THIS ROOM!" Daemon screamed. "DARK INFERNO!" The dark digimon fired a trail of scorching flames aiming straight at TK and Kari. Angemon quickly flew to their aid, blocking the flames with his staff. His makeshift barrier would not hold out for long.
"Get out of here!" he commanded. "I won't be able to hold him off for long."
"But Angemon..." TK started.
"GO NOW! IF YOU DON'T GET OUT OF HERE, THEN DAEMON WILL KILL US ALL! LEAVE!"
TK's eyes began to water. He didn't want to lose his partner again, not after what Devimon had done to him several years ago.
"TK, I know it's hard," Kari told him comfortingly. "But Angemon will be okay if we hurry. Let's go." TK took one last look at his partner, then ran after Kari and Scubamon.
The shadowy digimon lead them to a secret doorway, to a small circular chamber. It was magnificently decorated, with seven crests (Courage, Friendship, Love, Sincerity, Reliability, Knowledge, and Kindness) engraved on the walls, surrounding a single sword. "Whoa..." That was the only thing that could come out of TK's mouth at the time. The sword, a katana (Japanese samurai sword), was sticking, hilt up, out of a pedestal that had the Crests of Hope and Light engraved on it, as they were on the blade of the sword.
*Okay, now it's kind of a King Arthur type thing with the magical sword in the stone. Well, this is the Digimon version.
"This is an ancient weapon of great power," hissed Scubamon. "It was once owned by the mighty Digital Warrior who first came to this dimension, and succeeded in overthrowing the Scubamon's original Master, Darkmarinedramon."
*Note that Darkmarinedramon doesn't really exist in the series or the cards. I made him up.
"That man, was the one you know as Gennai."
"You mean that Gennai was the first to come here and he owned this sword?" Kari gasped.
"Correct, child. He put his sword here to prevent the darkness of this dimension from spreading. However, this was only because we had obtained a new master, Dagomon, right after Darkmarinedramon's demise. As long as the dark Ocean has a ruler, it will remain powerful, and its darkness may easily spread."
"So if we destroy Daemon with this sword," TK started. "then the darkness won't spread?"
"Correct. We Scubamon have been under the control of a master for so long, we don't know what freedom is anymore..."
"You poor things," Kari sympathized. "But what can we do?"
"Only the chosen are able to pull out this sword," Scubamon told them. "The indication that the chosen are you two lie on the blade. The blade of the mighty DigiSword." Kari and TK knew this meant that the crest of Light and Hope engraved on the blade meant that they were the chosen ones.
"Well, let's give it a shot," TK sighed. He put one hand on the hile of the katana and pulled as hard as he could, to no avail. "Maybe the legend is wrong. I can't budge it." Kari put her hand on his. "Both our crest are on this sword, silly. We have to pull it out together." With a slight tug, both Kari and TK pulled out the Digisword from the pedestal.
"Incredible," Scubamon gasped. A pink light shone from the pedestal. All the crests in the room began to glow, and shot out in different directions from the room. The two crests that were engraved on the pedestal became the crests of hope and light sitting at the feet of its owners.
"Wow," exclaimed Kari, picking up her crests. "This means that Angemon and Gatomon can digivolve to their ultimate levels!"
"Yeah, but we need to get to them first," TK smiled. The two ran back to the Hall, where Angemon and Nefertimon were still fighting. With the Digisword in his hand, TK knew that this would become a day to remember.
To be continued...
Sorry, but another cliffhanger here. Now that I've FINALLY introduced the DigiSword, whaddya think? Please review!
I was reading the reviews on this story, and I reaalize the chapters really AREN'T long enough. So, to grant your wishes, I've combined what for me would normally be 2 chapters.
