" Return "
[Ch14. This story's just about finished. Sorry I couldn't come up with a better name for the Chapter. Enjoy and R&R please.]
"Why do you think that happened," Lucas asked walking beside Jose.
"What," Jose turned his attention to the bookworm beside him. "Oh you mean that DNA digivolving thing? Not sure." Jose then turned an angered, overprotective big brother glance to Lucas. "And how is May involved in this?"
"How should I know," Lucas slowed his step backing away from Jose.
"Calm down big brother," Nick smirked stepping up beside Lucas. "I'll tell you why it worked."
"It was your mutual desire to protect May," Jason interrupted, passing a glance over his shoulder to Lucas. "The two of you were on the same wavelength and so were able to combine your power."
"Oh," Jose quit with his judging glares at Lucas for the time being.
"One thing I found interesting," Kana turned around walking backwards. "How were you able to merge with your digimon Nick?"
"I'm not sure," Nick looked down at the tiny digimon in his arms.
"Well I'm sure of one thing," Jason stopped looking at the section were his left arm would be. "We're in for some tough fights from here on." He could swear it was still there. 'I've got to try and stop this,' Jason's thoughts swelled. 'This phantom limb thing is annoying.' Jason jumped feeling a hand touch his right shoulder.
"Again," Kana asked worried about his mental stated. Once again Jason had been acting weird. He only nodded rotating his shoulder.
Taking in a deep breath, he let it out smiling. "Lets go. We're not gonna get anything done standing around here." The others went silent following him. It was more than obvious how he'd been acting. It was nerve-racking to see him that way. After finally leaving the prairie area they came upon a desert.
"Man," Jose stopped sitting on a tuft of grass. "First nothing but grass now sands. This worlds pretty harsh."
"We can't stop now," May caught everyone's attention. "This is just a test of our determination."
"You're right May," Nick cracked his knuckles smiling. "And I for one am not stopping."
"Me too," Jose stood fixing the bag on his back.
"We're in," May reply pulling Lucas by his arm.
"Count me in," Kana smiled joining in. All eyes turned to Jason who seemed to be staring out at the mountains just beyond the desert. Kana turned facing the others, "Jose, you and Lucas go search for some water." She then turned to Nick, "you take May and find some food."
"Just do me a favor Kana," Nick turned slowly. "Try and cheer the guy up."
"I will," Kana watched as they group divided. She turned walking up beside Jason. "I'm not sure what you're going through," she sat down, looking out at the mountains. "But I'd like to try and understand."
"Kana," Jason looked down at her. "I..." Jason sat down beside her, "All I can think of is that the enemy, whoever it is, is out there." He fell onto his back staring at the sky. "I feel drawn to the mountains for some reason."
"Jason you know you can talk to me about anything," she pulled her knees up to her chest.
"I know," Jason sat up placing his arm around her.
"So Lucas," Jose pulled a canteen out of his bag. "What do you think of May?"
"What," Lucas stopped looking to Jose. "What are you talking about?"
"I'm wondering how you feel about her."
"She's a friend that's all," Lucas turned filling his jug in the river.
"Look, I'm just asking a simple question," he dipped the canteen into the river. "You can answer me honestly."
"I told you she's a friend," Lucas pulled the full jug from the water turning away as his face reddened.
"I think she likes you," Jose smirked watching his movements. He noticed that Lucas made no comment, though he did twitch noticeably. "I knew it," Jose jumped grabbing him by the back of his shirt.
"So what's going on between you and Lucas," Nick smiled looking over his shoulder at May. She stopped staring at him wide eyed. "Did I say something weird," he turned asking her.
"W-well," she stuttered, "Lucas and I are friends," she blushed hiding her face.
"But you 'like' him don't you," he put plenty of emphasis on the word like.
"I do not," she protested.
"Right," Nick turned walking to a bush of berries.
"Did Lucas say something," she asked running up beside him. She looked for an answer but Nick just focused on his task. "Nick," she whined.
"No but how could he resist a sweet girl like you," Nick filled his bag then started filling hers.
"I think we could get going as soon as the others return," Jason stood stepping away from Kana.
"Jason," Kana stood dusting her skirt. "Are you sure you can do this?"
"It doesn't matter now does it," she was taken back by his response. He refused to talk after that waiting only for the others to return.
Lucas and Jose returned smiling to one another. "So that's the story," Jose finished patting Lucas on the back. The...
[I just realized I've been excluding the digimon. *feels like a complete idiot*]
"So you and May were in a computer store when you were pulled into the digital world," Lucas turned looking toward Jason Kana and the sleeping digimon.
[I know a poor attempt at saving things.]
Just then Kaleidomon awoke flying over to his friend. Lucas smiled greeting his partner. The other digimon started to wake looking around they noticed two members of the group were missing.
"We're heading out as soon as Nick and May return," Jason stated as Lucas and Jose approached. They paused at the monotone of his voice. They looked to each other then nodded agreeing with Jason's statement.
"You needn't worry too much," startled by the sudden voice, they turned facing an approaching dust storm.
"Why must they always try the dramatic approach," Jason growled grabbing his D3. The storm died revealing an 8' metal man, his left arm shaped like a gattling gun.
"I am Snipemon," his right eye covered by a red monocle. "And I wont let you escape my crosshairs." Kana checked her D3; this one was a Mega too.
Jason stepped forward calling Daumon to his side. The look in his eyes called for fear but received none from the opponent. "Daumon lets do this together," Jason extended his hand showing the D3, and then aimed the device at his chest. "Bio-merge." His cry for the digivolution was accepted but in a way he hadn't expected. His body was surrounded by a dark mist-like aura. Daumon arched his back roaring like a demon, his eyes shining a deep crimson.
"What going on," Lucas asked watching the spectacle. Jose glanced over at Kana who was frozen in shock.
"Daumon bio-merge," Jason and Daumon cried out, as their voices seemed to deepen. Surrounded by the dark veil the transformation went unseen. No one knew what this evolution would bring. Snipemon raised his gun firing several shots into the void. The dark orb shot to the sky turning the blue to red. The ground shook and the pillar of darkness split in two. Snipemon glanced around then turned his crosshairs on the others.
"If I can't have that human," He growled, "then I'll take the rest of you." Just before he could start his attack a red and black claw shot from the ground stealing his shot. "What?"
A sinister laugh filled the air as the shadows gathered on the ground. "I am CrimsonShademon," Rising from the shadows a red and black digimon stood crossing his arms. His emerald green eyes stared straight at Snipemon. "And you are in my way."
"You ruined my shot," Snipemon raised his arm. "I'll destroy..."
"Ha," before Snipemon could finish his sentence CrimsonShademon was right in his face, his enlarge left claw squeezing around the barrel of the gattling gun. Snipemon screamed in pain as his arm gun was ripped off.
"We have to do something," Kana turned to the others. "We have to save Jason." Their attention turned back to the fight as a black and red claw tore through the trigger-happy digimon. "Or we're next." CrimsonShademon's disturbing laughter filled the air once more.
"Who's next," those bright green eyes scanned the area until they fell upon the group. A malicious smile curled his lips. "Victims," he hissed walking slowly toward them.
"Everyone on the defense," Kana stepped back as Angewomon flew by. Lucas and Jose turned to their partners joining their power to form Rushmon again. The two Digimon charged at the dark creation only to get stopped in mid attack by his Crimson Shadow.
"They can't move," Lucas called out. "What now?" He turned his attention to Kana who disappeared while they watched the fight.
"How foolish," all eyes turned to CrimsonShademon seeing Kana running toward him.
"What is she doing," Jose asked frantically.
"I hope she knows," Lucas responded watching in fear.
The evil Digimon smirked grabbing Kana in his claws. "You think you can defeat me when your pets couldn't."
"Jason please listen to me," Kana's fear was great but it was not fear for herself but another. "You must listen to me."
"And why would I have to listen to a corpse," he snickered. Kana cried out as his grip around her strengthened. But her screams didn't last long as he released her. "What? What's going on?" Stepping away from Kana CrimsonShademon grabbed his head screamed in rage. "Stop it."
Kana pushed off the ground, looking up at him, "Jason come back."
"K...Kana," he fell to his knees, "Stop this now."
"You humans have stood in our way long enough," another Digimon appeared. It was MegaLaimon, a short but fierce looking digimon, his robotic body seemed made of weaponry. Turning the dark warrior extended his arms. "Be gone," a stream of dark lightning shot out hitting CrimsonShademon.
"Ahhhhhh," the confused digimon screamed in horrible pain. Kana stood watching as he fell. Her eyes moistened as his form slowly faded and solidified. "Kana," his eyes returned to Jason's original color. "I'm sor..." The dark lightning struck the downed digimon again, and after an unfathomable wail of pain his eyes turned white.
"Jason," Kana ran over to her friend. "Wake up. Please wake up."
"Foolish humans," MegaLaimon slowly approached the two. "Your emotions will only lead to your destruction." He raised his hand ready to destroy the two when Rushmon grabbed the beast from behind tossing him away with a German Suplex.
[For those who might not know it's a Wrestling move.]
As he stood a Celestial Arrow pierced his raised shoulder. He turned seeing Angewomon aiming another arrow. Glancing to the side he noticed Rushmon stood ready for an attack. He turned firing a stream of spikes at Angewomon but getting hit by Rushmon's blitz.
Kana desperately tried to wake Jason, who was still in the fading form of evil. Her attempts had little success. Tears ran down her cheek falling onto his chest. Those tears spread a light over his body, changing his form. His claws melted to gray fingerless gloves, his worn and tattered clothes mended, the jacket loosing its sleeves, his face resembled Jason's as a mask covered the lower half, his spiked hair grew reaching to around his mid-back, held back in a tail.
The new Digimon's left hand rose slowly caressing Kana's cheek. She jumped looking at this new figure before her. He stood slowly helping her to her feet.
"Who are you," she asked staring at the figure.
"I am Arch-Angemon," she heard the combination of Daumon and Jason's voice and smiled hugging the Mythological Digimon. "Kana, I must fight this evil," the dual voices spoke softly. "Please go and find shelter." She nodded turning away from him.
Once she was a safe distance away he faced the true evil Digimon. "MegaLaimon, your ass is mine," he growled as two silver wings sprung from his back.
"Confident aren't you," MegaLaimon turned facing his new opponent.
"Nah, just feelin' lucky," he laughed reaching his hand for the sword on his back. MegaLaimon held out his hand forming a black blade out of thin air. "But before we start," Arch-Angemon pointed the tip of his blade at the red sky. Firing a beam the sky quickly returned to normal. "Much better."
He twisted his wrist waving the blade to parry the attack MegaLaimon tried to sneak in. "Tsk tsk." Jumping back he withdrew his wings holding the blade at his side parallel to the ground. The two charged, their swords sparking as they past each other. The moment the metals parted they both spun around crossing swords.
"Do you really think you can win?" Their blades still locked, Arch-Angemon started forcing back his opponent.
"Where did you get this power," MegaLaimon made an attempt to hold his ground, but his feet continued to slide.
"I'll tell you," he stated pushing off his blade. "I was lost for a while," sparks filled the air. "But then there was a light," he disarmed his opponent now. "And so I followed the light and regained my faith," he pointed the tip at MegaLaimon. "Give?"
"Never," he retorted defiantly.
"Not what I hoped to hear," in the blink of an eye the sword had slashed several times and was now being placed in its sheath.
Splitting into two Jason and Daumon stood supporting each other. The others ran over helping to keep them on their feet. Jason stumbled forward taking Kana in his arm. "Thanks love," disregarding the presence of Lucas Jose and the digimon he kissed Kana deeply.
