Digimon {Digital Monsters}
The Darkness before the Dawn of Wisdom
Overwhelming Emotion
Disclaimer: I don not own Digimon, is that clear enough for everyone?
Author's note: This chapter is a little shorter than the others, but I hop that doesn't detract from the emotions I'm trying to convey here. Please let me know if it's too short, or if it's ok. Thank you... now on with the fic.
Gennai knocked quietly on the door to the room he had put Izzy in earlier, not wanting to disturb either Izzy or Kari too much.
"Come in." Kari's voice called loud enough for Gennai to hear, even though it was hushed. Gennai opened the door to reveal Kari hugging a sleeping Izzy, and rocking him gently back and forth. Kari looked up,
"Oh hello again Gennai, what brings you here?" she asked quietly, not wanting to disturb Izzy too much. Gennai came in and closed the door behind him,
"A matter that is of some importance to Izzy... but as he seems to be too exhausted to talk right now I'll leave it be." He answered, careful to keep as quiet as possible. Kari gave Gennai a confused glance,
"What is it... if it's really that important you should tell him now."
"It's about a guardian really, a Digimon that can help you guys fight with Izzy... You know a Digimon to protect him if he's in any danger." Gennai explained, careful to keep from mentioning the words 'replacement' or 'in place of' in case Kari thought about the wrong context. Kari nodded in understanding,
"That would be helpful, our own Digimon seem to have enough trouble keeping one of us out of danger, I don't think any of them can manage two." Kari managed to extrapolate herself from Izzy's grip and lay him down on the bed into a more comfortable position, all without waking the older teen up. Izzy whimpered a little, but gave a small sigh and lay still again, the only sound for now being that of his light breathing. Gennai looked at Izzy with a sad frown,
"What did he want to talk with you about?" he asked, not taking his eyes of the sleeping child of Knowledge. Kari sighed a little and looked to the window,
"He never got around to saying... the second I mentioned Tentomon he broke down." She shook her head in regret, "Worst move I ever made."
"I wouldn't worry about it Kari, it is going to take Izzy time to totally get over it." Gennai comforted, looking at Kari. The pre-teen nodded,
"I know," she sighed, "but... since the shield is going to fail at any time, I don't know how much time he's got until Daemon and Dragomon..." Gennai held up a hand to silence her,
"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it." He told her sagely as he stood up, "But right now we need to let him rest. He's had a rough enough time already." Kari murmured in agreement, following Gennai out of the door. Kari stole a glance back at Izzy as he lay sleeping peacefully before closing the door. Leaving Izzy in almost total darkness, save for the single ray of sunshine filtering through the crack in the curtains.
Daemon cackled in delight as a portal slowly opened in front of him. Dragomon stood at his side, smiling evilly, his eyes glinting with malevolence.
"Finally," he sighed, "for a moment I thought it wasn't going to work." He leered at a couple of Scubamon, who cowered at his glance. Daemon grinned as the swirling grey mist on the other side of the portal took on the shape of a dense forest.
"Well, shall we go my friend? It's getting late... I want to find that insolent fool Gennai... and take my revenge on Ken for trapping me in here in the first place." Dragomon gave a chuckle of delight,
"And I'll finally be able to extinguish the Light of the Digital World, Miss Hikari Kamiya. Then the worlds will be at our mercy. Lead the way..." Daemon and Dragomon laughed evilly as they walked through the dimensional rift between the 'Dark Ocean' and the Digital World.
Izzy tossed and turned in the bed he was in, muttering indistinct words. Ice cold sweat trickled down his face as he continued dreaming,
"No... Kabuterimon... can't go... ... ... KABUTERIMON!" he screamed as he woke up with a start, the sweat dripping into his eyes from his fringe. Izzy shakily ran a hand through his hair, looking around the bedroom, hoping against hope that Tentomon was there to remind him it was all a dream. Except that there was no Tentomon to comfort him. Izzy brought his knees up to his chest as he remembered that Tentomon had been deleted. He rocked back and forth, sobbing quietly,
"Why... Why me? Haven't I been tortured enough?" he whispered between sobs. He continued on like this for at least half an hour, until a sudden chill caused him to shiver violently. Izzy looked up and gazed around the bedroom. The chill came again, twice as cold as before. His digivice started beeping quietly and his crest began glowing that sickly lavender colour. Izzy realised what these signs meant...
"Oh no... not now... please not now." He muttered as he heard Daemon and Dragomon's evil chuckles reverberate throughout the digital world...
To be continued...
Please remember to read and review peeps. The next chapter will be coming really soon.
