Hope of Darkness

Chapter 22: The Sun and The Moon.

As T.K and Kenya opened the door, a dark force suddenly threw them back. It was so fast that T.K wasn't able to summon his holy armaments and both he and Kenya weren't able to dodge the blow.

"Shoot!" T.K thought, "We should have been more carefull!"

"Welcome," came a voice that Kenya was so familiar with, "...to the humble abode of the People of Darkness."

"That was a dirty trick, Tempest." Kenya said as he stood up and wiped a dripping blood off of his lips.

T.K then drew out his sword and summoned its Eisonmeteor form, "Enough talk, let's finish this once and far all!"

"Quite the attitude..." Tempest smirked, "Very well, but let me show you a little trick that my master taught me."

Tempest then drew out a slick looking sword and began to chant something under his breath. A cold gust of wind blew and a dark flash of light enveloped the sword. When the wind and the dark light vanished, Tempest's sword transformed into a large sword, glowing with darkness with a small red jewel on the hilt.

"Let me introduce to you," Tempest said showing them a much clearer view of the sword, "the Dark Devourer, the sword of pure evil, the Crescent-Moon Sword!"

With that Tempest dashed towards T.K and Kenya. T.K summoned the helmet, the shield and the armor before he himself ran towards Tempest gripping his sword and matching Tempest's moves blow-by-blow.

But Tempest's sword is far too powerful for both Kenya and T.K, being the sword of darkness and all...

The two warriors of light took more hits than their enemy. It seemed that everytime they parried or dodged or meet their weapons, Tempest would always find a way to hit them.

"Why can't we hit him?" T.K ask exasperated.

"What's wrong, T.K?" Tempest asked taunting, "You're not as strong as I have hoped you to be."

"Shut up, you damn bastard!" T.K shouted and he called forth the second form of his sword to match his anger, "Come out! EXPLOSION!!!"

"This isn't good." Kenya thought, "If T.K continues on attacking like that, we might really lose this battle..."

So Kenya rushed forth to reawaken some sense on T.K so that he won't go attacking their opponent blindly.

"T.K, that's enough!" Kenya ordered.

"I will NOT stop until I KILL him!" T.K shouted making Tempest smile.

"Do that T.K and you will not be any different from him!" Kenya told him, Then he moved closer to T.K and whispered, "Find another way to beat his weapon. I think that's where he draws out his power. While you do, I'll fight him and give you enough time to preapare."

"Kenya..." T.K replied, "Is there...really another way?"

Kenya smiled, "You're the child of hope, right? I know you'll find a way...like you always do."

With that Kenya faced Tempest and said in a serious tone, "I'll be your opponent now, Tempest."

"Still the hero, eh Kenya? Wanting to die first before him." Tempest smirked.

Kenya didn't say anything to him, instead, he poised himself, ready for any attack that Tempest might do.

"He's so calm." T.K noticed, "So far, I've been capable of calling four forms of the Ten Commandments...is there really a form that can beat the sword of darkness?"

Kenya dodged another attack and countered back with a slash that hit Tempest at his right arm.

"You'll pay for this!" Tempest shouted getting angry.

"That's right, Tempest." Kenya thought, "Once you act like how T.K did before, your weaknesses will be unveiled..."

As Kenya was staying calm but giving his all in the battle at hand, T.K was beginning to unleash whatever power his sword has. So far, he found seven out of the ten forms: Eisonmeteor, Silfarlion, Loonsave, Melforce, Blue Crimson, and Gravity-but none of them has the power and strength that he was looking for.

"Where is it?" T.K wondered, "...the power I'm searching for within you Ten Commandments?"

Meanwhile...

The Digi-shinkers (Tai's group), and Armor-shinkers (Davis' group) have digi-volved their partners to its highest possible level while the Tamers (Takato's group) and the Spirit-Shinkers (Takuya's group) digi-volved themselves to their most powerful level to fight alongside the sovereigns who are now weakening even faster than before against Yamikaimon.

"How come he doesn't seem to flinch at our attacks?" Suzanamon asked.

"Don't give up, you guys!" Tai encouraged, "Omnimon use your Grey Sword with Suzanamon and Imperial Gallantmon!"

"Right!" Matt said, "You heard Tai!"

"You got it Tai, Matt!" Omnimon replied, "Let's do it Suzanamon, Imperial Gallantmon!"

"Got it, Omnimon!" replied Imperial Gallantmon.

"I'm right behind you all the way!" Suzanamon chimmed.

"Let's give them some back-up you guys." Zephyrmon said.

"Right!" Mega Gargomon replied.

With that Omnimon, Suzanamon and Imperial Gallantmon charged towards Yamikaimon with the others giving them back-up fire and punches.

But Yamikaimon just laughed them all off...

"Hahahahah..." Yamikaimon laughed, "You'll never be able to harm me...not as long as Tempest still lives!"

"How cruel..." Azulongmon said, "...you will use him as a shield to obtain what you want?"

"He serves me, and by serving me he is serving his purpose." Yamikaimon merely replied.

"Then, if we want to survive this...T.K has to destroy Tempest?" Kari asked her comrades.

"It seems like it." Ken replied frowning.

"But this is a human life we're talking about...not a digimon who can be reborn into a digi-egg!" Sora said.

"She's right, even if Tempest is the enemy...he's still like us...a human." Cody agreed.

"We'll have to leave that descission on T.K." Matt said, "I know he'll choose the right thing...he must!"

Back at the match...

Kenya was beginning to feel exhausted and feel the pain that he got from Tempest's surprise attack.

"Shoot!" Kenya thought, "Better hurry up, T.K...I'm beginning to feel weak again."

But T.K was not going to obtain the power of the sword that he was searching for...not until he learns something.

"I know one thing...it's light that fends off darkness...but...how do I attain the power of the sword imbued with light without Kari? She's the only one who can summon the light from the sword for me."

T.K then began to look for something in the room to help him, unfortunately...there was nothing...

"I tried using courage, kindness, love, friendship, sincerity, reliability, knowledge and my own specialty...hope, but, none of them summoned the sword that I'm looking for so there must be something visibile and possibly tangible that I could use."

The T.K noticed something as Kenya and Tempest were both sent flying to opposite sides of the room that they were fighting at from the impact of their swords and the power of their blows.

"Wait a minute..." T.K said, "This place...it's too dark!" T.K then looked up and noticed something, "It's sealed...this whole place is sealed! Maybe, that's why the sword can't transform to its light property...because there's so little light in here...what if I..."

T.K then summoned the fifth form of Ten Commandments,

"MELFORCE!!!" T.K shouted.

Kenya and Tempest quickly looked over at T.K's direction and saw him positioning himself below the center of the roof with the sword, Melforce's flat side facing the ceiling.

"T.K, what are you up to?" Kenya wondered while using his sword as a support to be able to stand up.

"He can't have..." thought Tempest.

And just before T.K used the powerful blow of Melforce, Tempest yelled at him telling him to stop.

But it was already too late, T.K has unleashed the attack on the roof making it crumble and fall. With some quick and fancy footwork, all three warriors managed to dodge all of the falling debris.

When the roof was cleared, the three of them saw the sun shinning high above them. When the sun shinned on top of T.K, T.K then transformed the sword back into its original form and raised it high above his head.

Back at the others...

The Digimons are already losing all their energy. This was the protectors were waiting for. When Omnimon and the others began to de-digi-volve, Reika and the other remaining protectors took their place with both the offence and the defense of the side of light.

"We have to hang on until the others are ready to fight again." Reika told her group mates.

"...Or until T.K and Kenya finally defeat Tempest." Added Misato.

"Either way," Freeda said, "We can't lose, right?"

"Right!" Everyone replied as they charged Yamikaimon.

The power of the guardians are dependent on how powerful the sovereigns are. With the sovereigns' power dwindling, so are the protectors becoming weaker as well. That was the reason why they weren't able to inflict any damage-not even a scratch- to the god of darkness. Everyone was on the edge of defeat

When the light of the sun hit the tip of T.K's sword, another gust of wind blew, this time much warmer than Tempest's version, but not only on the room where T.K and Kenya was fighting against Tempest, but it reached the place where Kari were. And at the same time as the warm wind blew, so did a very, very bright light shinned from the sword sending sparkles of rainbow colored light on the castle room that also reached the battlefield of the gods. As the rainbow sparkled light and the warm wind touched their skin, the fighters of light heard T.K's voice and felt his presence near.

"Don't give up hope, "They heard T.K say, "There is always a way even if everything seems hard. Though darkness fills the earth, there is always a small flickering light waiting to be given enough power to grow-we are that power- The power of Courage and Love, Friendship and Reliability, Knowledge and Sincerity, and of course, Hope and Light! From them the eternal powers of the spirits were born. As long as we have these characteristics, light will NEVER lose this battle. So believe, my friends, in the power of the light! Believe in the power of the human spirit, Believe in your heart!"

With those words, from the humans to the digimons that were fighting against Yamikaimon, everyone was revitalized.

When everything subsided, T.K was standing tall and firm, holding a sword that was burning and shinning with the brightness of the sun!

"You think you are strong, Tempest, with that sword of yours." T.K said as he lowered his sword, "but let's see how you will fare against MY sword...the sword of courage, friendship, reliability, sincerity, knowledge, kindness, and hope which is imbued with light...The sword that has the power of Fire, Wind, Light, Ice, Thunder, Water, Metal, Wood, Earth, and the darkness that can beat darkness...the eight form of the Ten Commandments, The Million Suns!"

To Be Continued...

A/N:

Sorry for the long no-update period. I was having a hard time coping up with college studies, writing a book and doing some other things that I lost time in doing this fanfic. But don't worry, I will not stop until I completed what I set out to do.

Anyways, I also want to apologize for changing the title of this chapter, I changed somethings from the original script which is also one of the reasons why I haven't updated in ages.

Don't worry, everyone...if I don't changed the script again, I believe there are only two or three chapters left before the story ends (not including the epilogue) so please stay tuned and continue to read and review my fanfic. Thanks to all!

Next on Hope of Darkness...

Finally, the real match begins. What power does the Million Suns possess and what power does the Crescent-Moon Sword also possess? Will its strength be enough to vanquish the evil in their midst? Or will those who tries to vanquish the darkness fall into darkness themselves? T.K is even in danger from his own weapon?!

All this will be resolved in the next installment of Hope of Darkness, Chapter 23, entitled: Unleashed!

See You again next time.

PLEASE REVIEW, it helps me continue on writing this fic. Thanks in advance!
