Good's Failure! Hope and Light Is Lost
Chapter Fourteen
"Are we almost there? Are we almost there? Are we almost there? Are we almost there?" Veemon and Davis repeated over and over and over and over again.
"Shut up!" Dark said through gritted teeth. His anger grew even more when Veemon and Davis just continued on was their complaining. "Darkmon..." Dark said angrily.
Darkmon appeared besides Dark. "Grrr," Darkmon stepped in front of Veemon and Davis, giving them not choice but to stop.
"What?" Veemon and Davis asked.
"You guys need to learn how to shut up." Dark said angrily.
"Shoukyaku..." Darkmon glared at Veemon.
Veemon's winced and he fell down. He rolled about in pain. He opened his mouth to say something but the pain he felt was too painful for him to even say anything.
"What are you going to him?" Davis demanded. "Stop it!"
The others just watched Veemon on the ground in pain.
Davis tried to kick Darkmon but his foot just went through him. Davis punched and kicked, but all his attempts were useless. "Tell him to stop!" Davis yelled at Dark.
Dark pulled his sunglasses off. "He's as good as dead." Dark squeezed his hand around his sunglasses so hard it broke.
"If you can defeat Dark," Danielle said. "Darkmon will stop."
Davis charged for Dark and swished a fist at him. Dark stepped aside and Davis stumbled onto the ground. "If you're a leader the world is a complete idiot." Dark looked over at Veemon. He felt somebody hand on his arm and looked back to see Danielle. "Darkmon..."
Darkmon titled his head and looked back at Dark, who nodded. "Data Scatter." Little bits of data from Veemon started scattering around.
"What are you doing?" Davis demanded.
"I guess I should explain," Danielle said. "Darkmon can use several 'data' moves. Date Store is when Darkmon gathers an opponent's data inside of him but never uses it. Date Scatter is when he takes certain date from an opponent so he can't digivolve nor use any attacks. There are more but I best not explain them now."
Veemon shook his head and stood up.
"How do you feel, Veemon?" Guilmon asked, concerned.
"Veemon," Davis said. "Try using Vee head butt."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"I just can't."
A smirk appeared on Darkmon's face before he disappeared.
After a quick glance at Veemon, Dark continued walking. Such a weak Digimon didn't even deserve to live more or less even exist. But he needed them all to be alive if he ever wanted to get her back. He didn't come this far to get her back only to lose her. As soon as they reached the temple everything he had worked for and gone through would finally be his.
"Give him back his powers!" Davis said angrily, as he launched himself towards Dark.
Dark stepped to the side and Davis crashed into the sand of the dessert. "Once a loser, always a loser," Dark said.
The masked dog-like Digimon ran past them. Danielle looked at the Digimon.
Now as his chance, wasn't it? Now he had a reason to go. "Hey, Dark!" TK yelled. "How do we know you're not the one behind all of this? You seem to know awfully a lot about what's going on. How do we know you're not leading us into a trap? For all we know, you're the one who created the New Breeds. So unless you give me an explanation of how you know so much..." TK didn't know what he was going to do if Dark didn't answer him. If Dark was behind all this he must have a lot of power.
Dark glanced at Danielle, who was struggling to control the masked dog-like Digimon with a chain. It didn't look like any one of them was winning. He looked back at the group. "You'll do what?" Dark challenged. "Do you want to fight me? All right, come on." Dark stretched out his arms. "Fight me."
TK gritted his teeth. He must have been expecting this. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm. What if he did fight Dark? What difference would it make? What if he lost? Would they all die right now? What if he won? Would they all save the world from the New Breed? Better to ask than just to keep wondering. "What happens if I lose?"
"TK!" Kari exclaimed, shock. How could he even consider fighting?
"We go on."
"What if I win?"
"You win and I'll tell you how I know the New Breed so much. But I will tell you one thing now," Dark said, as he reached inside his back pocket. He pulled out a card a held it up for them to see. It was dark green with black marks on it. "I already have the key for the door. After we're done and I win, we'll go straight to the door."
~*~*~*~*~*~
Danielle turned to face the group. "When we pass this door we're going to be in a maze. We might get separated through the mist that's inside. The Digimon who guards this place creates illusions. Whatever you do, never believe anything you see or hear. It's just one of his illusions. Just ignore what you see and move on. If you can't stand what you see and have an emotional breakdown it's all over for you."
Dark tossed the cark into a small slot in the door. The door creaked as it opened, revealing a smaller door (a normal sized door) that would lead to the maze. "We'll probably all get separated the second we enter."
The masked dog-like Digimon dashed forward, giving Danielle no chance of tightening her grip on the chain before he was inside. "No!" Danielle ran in after the Digimon.
"Danielle!" TK yelled and ran inside.
"TK!" Patamon flew in after TK.
"Darkmon," Dark looked down at his side as Darkmon appeared. He nodded his head towards the door. "Let's go."
Darkmon nodded and headed in, Dark following.
"I guess we should go in to," Renamon said.
They all nodded in agreement.
~*~*~*~*~*~
(All of it starts with them walking alone in mist)
(Illusions - Kari)
Although she looked fine on the outside; she felt terrible on the inside. She still couldn't forget what she had heard. How could TK betray her? Not that there was much to betray, but still. If only she didn't let herself fall in love with him in the first place! She'd told herself over and over that they're "romantic relationship" was just an act. But something deep down inside of her wanted it to be more and made her believe it was more than just pretend. How could she allow herself to fall in love with her best friend only to get hurt?
"You're the only one I want, Danielle,"
Kari's eyes widen in shock. That was TK's voice.
(Illusions – Takato)
"I wonder how Jeri is doing," Takato thought aloud. He liked her a lot and that was no secret. But he could never seem to work up enough courage to ever really ask her out. Maybe ask her out as friends, but never as a date. He tried, but he'd always change his mind halfway and say something else. He remembered how sad she was when Leomon died, remembered all she'd gone through because of D-Reaper. He was still young, but he knew he was in love with her. He didn't want to see her with anybody else but himself.
"Don't be such a baby," a cheery voice said.
Takato's eyes widen. It was Jeri's voice. He turned towards the voice and he looked at what seemed to be a door leading to a park. The image seemed to be zooming in. He could see a playground. His eyes widen in surprised when he saw Jeri and with a guy. The guy was sitting on a swing and Jeri was sitting on his lap. She was smiling, her arms wrapped around his neck.
"Kiss it and make it better?" The guy said with a grin.
Jeri's smile only grew. She leaned down and kissed him on the lips.
(Illusions – Izumi)
Maybe she should just tell Kouji how she felt about him. What if he didn't love her back? Would that ruin their friendship? Did she really want to take that risk? But he'd always been kinder towards her than anybody else. That had to mean something. What if it was just because she was a girl and he looked down on her? What if he already had a girlfriend? She didn't know what to do. Maybe she should tell him. She'd still have Takuya.
"I think we should tell the others," a voice said.
Izumi's eyes widen. It was Takuya's voice.
"I don't think we should," another voice said.
Izumi gulped. It was Kouji's voice. She turned around ands he looked at what seemed to be a door leading to a room with both Takuya and Kouji inside. They were both half dressed. Kouji was lying down on a bed and Takuya was sitting on the bed next to him. Izumi eyes widen even further when Takuya leaned down to kiss Kouji and Kouji did nothing to stop him.
(I'm only going to do one for each season)
~*~*~*~*~*~
TK couldn't see through the mist. Everything around him was white as snow. Now he was separated from the others and he had no idea what to do. He shouldn't have run in after Danielle. Dark would have probably had more chance finding her. But if Dark was a part of this, wouldn't that mean Danielle was too. He didn't know and everything time he thought about it, it gave him a headache.
"TK, slow down!" Patamon said, as he flew over to TK.
"It looks like we're lost." TK stretched out his hand forward and touched a wall. "It's a dead end." He shook his head. "I forgot this was a maze. We better go back." He wanted for a response from Patamon or for him to land on his head, but he didn't. "Patamon?" TK turned around to see that Patamon was gone. "Patamon, where'd you go?"
"Such power," a voice echoed. "Such evil I sense in you." An evil laughter echoed. "How much pain can you take?"
TK's body tensed when he felt a sudden pain go through his whole body. He started to feel hot.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Darn you." Danielle muttered, as she looked around. "Where in the world did you run off to?"
"Dark, please stop it."
Danielle turned and saw what she feared. She was in the dark with Dark. He was beating her. No matter how much she begged, he didn't stop. She feared the dark, she feared Dark, and she feared being alone.
Another Dark appeared, a dark sphere surrounding him, and he moved his hand about, clearing the mist. The scene of Dark beating her disappeared. "Never believe anything you see." Dark said, as he walked pass her. "Darkmon."
Darkmon, who was besides Dark, nodded. He put the same sphere Dark had around Danielle.
The mask dog-like Digimon appeared out of nowhere. He got onto his back and rolled about like a playful puppy.
Danielle glared at the Digimon. "Darn dog," she muttered.
The dog rolled onto his belly and titled his head.
