Dark Moon & Midnight Shadows
ch 17
"Shu..." Kasura strained out as she glanced over towards him.
"Yes, Kongo, can't you hear her calling out to you? Maybe you'll be able to hear her better if I did this." Argo replied as he suddenly threw her against the nearest pillar, and pinned her against it with his hand against her throat. Kasura quickly put her hands up, and tried to pry off his hand from her throat.
"Let her go, and I mean now!" Shu demanded angrily.
"Take a good look Kongo, you're in no position of making demands." Argo replied as he started to tighten his grip, as Kasura was trying to fight to breathe.
"Alright! Stop, what...What do you want me to do?" Shu asked in a defeated tone.
"Shu.." Kasura whispered.
"Good, I'm glad you see it my way." Argo replied as he took Kasura and threw her into Shu.
"Kasura!" Shu said in alarm as he took her into his arms.
"Shu...Why?" Kasura asked in a whisper as she slowly reached up to him.
"Because if I didn't, then he would have killed you. And I...I wouldn't be able to..." Shu replied as he grabbed onto her hand and looked into her eyes.
"You two are making me sick." Argo grumbled as he looked at the two in annoyance. "Now Kongo, are you ready to do what I tell you, or am I going to have to take her away from you again?"
"NO! What...What do I have to do?" Shu asked quickly as he pulled Kasura close to him.
"It's quiet simple...All you have to do is destroy your friends." Argo replied with an evil grin.
"What?! You...You can't be serious!" Shu asked outraged. "I...I won't do it!"
"Is that your final answer?" Argo asked back as he looked at him curiously.
"You're out of your mind to think that I would even consider destroying my friends. They mean too much to me!" Shu shot back.
"More to you than her?" Argo asked as he motioned to Kasura.
"Shu, whatever happens, don't listen to him...Please, just tune out what he's saying..." Kasura pleaded, "you and the others have to destroy Argo!"
'What am I going to do? I can't destroy my friends, and I can't let Kasura get hurt or worse. I hate this!' Shu thought angrily as he was fighting over his decision.
"Well Kongo, what are you going to do?" Argo asked as he was starting to get annoyed.
"Don't rush me, ok!" Shu shot back.
"Actually, I have a better idea." Argo said with an evil grin as he jerked Kasura away from Shu, and threw her up into the air. As she was about to make a rough landing, Argo created the same energy field around her as the other Troopers.
"Kasura!" Shu shouted out to her, and then he glared over at Argo. "What did you do that for?!"
"You were taking too much time making your decision." Argo replied with a grin.
In the shadows, Lao, Mei and Tahi were watching. "How much longer do we have to stay here?" Tahi asked in annoyance. "I'm getting bored."
"Not long, I just want to see what Argo has planned for Kongo. Then when he makes his move, we'll make ours." Lao replied with a glint in his eyes. As they watched from the shadows, Argo did a quick nod to Badamon, Badamon's eyes suddenly glowed orange and then he started to take over Shu's armor.
"Wha..What is going on?!" Shu asked in confusion.
"What does it look like, Kongo, Badamon has taken over your armor." Argo replied in a cocky manner.
"What are you trying to prove, Argo?" Shu asked angrily as he glared at him.
"I want to see which is more powerful. Badamon's control over your armor, or your sense of Gi that you claim that you carry in your heart." Argo replied with a laugh as he motioned for Badamon to continue.
"His resistance is strong, master." Badamon said as he was trying to still control Shu's armor.
"Better believe it is! I'm no one's puppet, I won't do what you or any one else says!" Shu replied in a determined voice as he continued to fight.
"We'll see about that." Argo said as his eyes glowed, and then with the two energy domes, he floated them up in the air, and made them spin, switching places so that Shu wouldn't know which dome had his friends and which one had Kasura. Then he finally set them down and looked towards Shu. "Now Kongo, which would be easier for you to have on your conscious? Knowing that you killed your friends, or knowing that you killed the woman that you love?"
Badamon's eyes glowed a bright orange and then he got control of Shu's armor for just enough time to use his sure kill on one of the two domes. "No...Don't!" Shu replied as he could feel his sure kill coming at full power and ready to release.
"Gan Tessai!" Badamon called out as he released Shu's sure kill towards the energy dome that was on the right, and as soon as the attack blew it away, he released his control over Shu's armor.
"No...No...No!" Shu said in disbelief as he fell to the floor on his hands and knees.
"I don't believe it, Lao, did he just..?" Tahi asked wide eyed.
"He did...Oh man, I didn't think that he would be that reckless and force Kongo to do that." Lao replied as he looked over towards her. "I wanted to do it."
"Well, instead of standing here, are we going in there or what?" Mei asked in annoyance.
"We're going to wait just a little longer. Just be patient, we'll go soon enough." Lao replied as he gave her a warning glance.
"How...How could...How could you have so little regard for life?" Shu asked in an angry whisper.
"Because, I don't really care, unless of course I can see that they will be able to serve some kind of purpose. Other than that, life is nothing to me." Badamon replied as his eyes went back to normal.
Shu snapped his head up, and glared dangerously at Badamon, and then before even he knew what was going on, Shu charged full force towards him. Badamon was caught upon surprise on the quickness and strength that Shu was showing. "I don't believe it, how can he be fighting like this? Is he fighting with pure rage?" Badamon wondered as he finally vanished from Shu and appeared next to Argo.
Shu's breathing was hard and labored, as he quickly turned around and faced both of them. "Coward! Face me, or would you rather hide behind your master?" Shu asked angrily.
Argo suddenly laughed, causing Shu to look at him with confusion. "Kongo, why haven't you looked over to where the domes are, or actually, where one was? Don't you want to see who you killed?" Argo asked in amusement.
"I didn't kill anyone! If whoever it was that was in that dome, then it's your fault that they're dead, not mine!" Shu replied angrily.
"Well, let's just see who is there in dome number two, shall we?" Argo suggested as he made the dome disappear.
"Wha..?" Shu asked in surprise as he saw that all of his friends and Kasura were safe and sound, well as safe and sound as one can be dealing with the Dynasty. "Guys, Kasura? How...I thought..."
"Shu!" Kasura replied as she was about to run over to him. But Touma held her back, "Touma, what?"
"Kasura, you're safer with us, Shu is alright, he'll be with us soon enough." Touma replied as he was trying to reassure her.
"Argo! You bastard! You'll pay for that!" Shin yelled angrily.
"I think that's our cue." Lao said as he, Mei, and Tahi finally came out from the shadows. "So sorry that we're late, but we didn't want to interrupt the show, it was getting to become rather interesting."
