Eelmon Saga Chapter 3

Chapter 3: In Death Comes Light!

Davis was stuck in a fight alone and the others were gaining even a further lead over him but they were also in grave danger for Cody was now under complete control of Eelmon. Eelmon had warped and twisted Cody's young mind into a weapon of pure evil. It was time for the minion to strike.

Cody smiled as he looked for his first victim. His best bet was to go for the closest person to him. Out of the digi-destined Matt was the closest. Cody picked a knife from his pocket and dove at Matt. In a rage, fueled by egotistic thought driven into his skull by Eelmon, Cody drove the knife into Matt's back. Blood fell from the wound and onto Cody's hand making the knife slick to handle.

The blow came as a complete surprise for Matt. At first he felt a small pressure on his back, but when the message was completely translated the pain became unbearable. With a scream he passed out and dropped to the ground. Cody stood behind Matt's body and watched the blood slink from the stab wound and form a puddle of red mud on the digital grass.

The others turned to look at what Matt was screaming about. They saw Matt's body losing life as they stood there and Cody holding the murder weapon. There was no denying who did it or how it was done. The only thing the others couldn't figure was why Cody would do it.

Cody did not waist time choosing his next victim. He went strait fro Izzy, but only got a sliver of the geniuses arm. Then Leomon suddenly appeared, under the same influence as Cody was, and started to work on the Digimon of the group. He dove from on to the other placing blow after blow, but when he came to Agumon he suddenly found out how much a Nova Blast hurt. Agumon had digievolved to Greymon and was ready to start tearing Leomon to shreds.

Cody had made up for his mistake and took the knife to Izzy's neck and scored an instant kill. He continued to Yolie, Ken, Sora, Mimi, Joe, Kori, and TK before anyone really realized what was happening. As Cody dove into his next victim his hand would slip onto the blade and he now had little cuts on his hand.

Leomon took his leave and Greymon turned to see that Cody was now going for Tai. Fortunately Tai was able to cope with the attack and stopped Cody. He took the knife away. "If I can't beat you Tai then this pawn of mine is no longer useful to me." The voice of Eelmon said through Cody's lips.

"Eelmon?" Tai said puzzled. "You did this. You brain washed Cody and killed all of my friends."

"Not all Davis is still alive." The Cody puppet retrieved the knife from Tai's hand and put it through the black diamond in his forehead and for a brief moment everything became clear to Cody. What he had done and the pain he caused. He then died...

"Otaku Blast!" Talismon said again and this time the beam struck Davis through the chest. Davis died off as well as Veemon. Talismon's work wasn't finished yet. He just received orders to demolish Tai and Greymon...

Tai ran from body to body. The next one always seemed colder than the last. That was until he reached Sora. She was still alive, but was hanging by a thread. "Tai." She barely got out through the collective blood in her mouth. "Please don't let me die?" She made an impossible request. Tai didn't know what else to do other then to wrap his arms around her and embrace her for her last few heart beats. They passed and Sora's body grew limp and cold.

Tai began to cry unlike he ever cried before. Giant tears pooled on Sora's school jacket. Tai fell into it hoping that it would be enough for him to drown in. He wished to die so he could join the friends he just lost. So he could once again be with the woman he loved and yet never told that he loved.

"Stop crying you pansy." A stern voice of a young man said. Tai looked up and could see the dark outline of the person who was talking to him. He was like a standing shadow for no detail could be made of the person. "You haven't given up hope yet have you? They aren't permanently dead after all. There is a way to revive them. All you need is some blood from each of them. That is all I can tell you now for a fight is now on your hands. This is the only assistance I can offer."

He passed down a small glowing orb that struck Tai in the chest, wrapped around his neck, and formed a brand new crest. His digivice also changed. The digivice took a completely new form, similar to Kori's but had a slot that appeared to be just the right size for the new crest to fit into...

"So Tai was able to escape my plot." Eelmon said to himself in a surprising glee. "It doesn't matter to me, Talismon will make sure that I am satisfied."...

Tai was now caught up in a fight that he wasn't prepared for. He was being forced to take on an enemy when all of his friends had just died. He didn't have the heart to continue living, though he felt that he had to. If what the other boy said was true then Tai had to live so that he could revive his friends, Kori, and Sora. He had to.
