Chapter seven-Answers from the Other Side
The others barely had time to register Lucy's yell before the huge ultimate level Dramon crashed through the only window in the room. Alana blinked as the glass covered her top, she hissed in agony as some of the shards scratched her sun burnt neck.
"Sunburn's bad enough as it is." she muttered angrily, gently wiping the glass away from her neck and back before rubbing it. The Digimon jumped up as Megadramon attempted to free himself,
"You guys had better go someplace safe, we can handle this guy!" Agumon said in a stern voice. The other Digimon nodded, as they digi-volved.
"Agumon digivolve to.....Greymon. Greymon digivolve to..... Metal-Greymon."
"Gomamon digivolve to... Ikkakumon. Ikkakumon digivolve to... Zudomon."
"Palmon digivolve to.... Togemon. Togemon digivolve to... Lillymon."
"Aquamon digivolve to....Mantramon." The other Digimon, except Tentomon attempted to digivolve, but they were all too tired to do so. Tai frowned as he realized that only those four Digimon that had digi-volved could fight,
"OK guys, I know this is gonna sound really‡ stupid, but we might have to split up again so that we can get Izzy to a safe place again. Those of us whose Digimon have digi-volved stay with me, the rest of you will have to find another place to get Izzy to." Matt opened his mouth to argue with Tai, but after seeing the determined look on the brunette's face, he stopped. Alana nodded,
"Ok then, Lucy you get Izzy here to the safest place possible ok? If there's any trouble let us know." she said as she turned to her older friend. Lucy sighed and nodded,
"Ok then mate, you take care now. We'll make sure these guys are up to digivolve if you lot get into trouble." Lucy hugged Alana, before the younger of the two turned to watch Mantramon attack Megadramon with the others.
Matt shifted Izzy on his back, trying make him more comfortable as they made their escape.
"We're just lucky he didn't bring his friend with him like he did last time." Sora said, her arm around Lucy's waist helping the girl to run. Matt gave her a 'don't speak too soon' look as they continued to run. TK and Kari ran a little way ahead of them, the two older and fully awake children making sure they could see them at all times. The digimon pulled up the rear, just incase.
"How's Lucy doing?" Matt shouted back to e heard over the noise of the battle still raging behind them. Sora turned to the girl who's arm was slung limply round her neck. She lifted her head and smiled slightly.
"Let's just say the voices are learning the meaning of 'shut the hell up'." She replied groggily. Matt laughed at this, it was nice having someone with a sense of humor around. Izzy stirred, causing Matt' laughing to stop abruptly as Lucy fell to the ground despite Sora's support. "Spoke too soon." She said, smiling weakly as she pulled herself up.
"Are you okay?" Sora asked, Tentomon and Chrystamon both stood close by, both watching over their respective partners.
"I don't like this, sure, it's good if this is going to help us save Digi-world but look at her!" Lucy rolled her eyes, forcing herself to smile.
"I'm fine guys, really, major head ache, can't see too good but I'll survive. Koushiro's the one you all need to be worrying about, I've had worse." Neither of the older children spoke after that, not until TK shouted something from up ahead.
"Lookit! A church! Where else could be safer than a church?" He and Kari were already on their way before Matt had a chance to reply and so he just followed the two younger children, who only stopped and waited for them when they reached the church doors. TK turned to his older brother. "Do you think it's safe?" He asked, suddenly not so sure of the building. Matt looked up, passed the big wooden doors and on to the spire that towered above them. He nodded slowly.
"It's as good a place as any Teeks, and we don't have much choice right now." TK nodded, he and Kari pushed the great wooden doors until finally they gave way and let the children and their digimon inside. Matt laid Izzy down on one on the pews while Sora sat Lucy down opposite, still complaining that she was fine, but nodding off as soon as she sat down. Chrystamon crawled up to her partner, nestling in her lap and trying not to look worried while Matt and Sora took seats with the two younger children and digimon and tried to make a plan of what to do next.
"I guess we just wait here for the others, we have food and we need to get Izzy to take some of these aspirins somehow, he needs to be awake for that though..." She trailed of, shaking her head. Matt sighed, he knew just how she felt. He was starting to really appreciate all the times Tai had been in charge and he certainly would not have minded if he suddenly popped up now and told him what to do.
"Matt? Sora? Can you come here a moment please?" Chrystamon's voice asked, sounded small and far away, the two children shared a look before doing as the digimon asked.
"What's up Chrystamon?" Matt asked, the small creature pointed to her partner, the girl's eyes were shut but her brow furrowed, as if she were thinking about something.
"She keeps muttering things, I don't know what it means, I hope she's okay." Matt turned to Sora, but did not have time to speak before he felt a searing pain in his head. Chrystamon gasped. "Not another one." But it seemed only to last a few seconds and Matt was okay again, slowly he opened his eyes, blinking slightly.
"Are you okay?" Sora asked, looking as worried as Chrystamon did. The blonde nodded.
"yeah, just fine actually." He sounded surprised, it was... weird... but I'm okay." He seemed to stare blankly for a moment before speaking again. "Lucy's talking to Izzy, she said not to worry." He repeated, looking over to the girl again, she looked just the same as before.
"Mantra Beams!" Mantramon yelled as she tried to attack Megadramon, but a champion was no match for an Ultimate level Digimon. Megadramon countered with his own attack,
"Genocide Attack!" he yelled as his arms opened up and released two missiles, both heading straight for Mantramon,
"Giga blaster!" two different missiles collided with Megadramon's attack, destroying them in a cloud of dust and debris. Alan whirled round to see Metal-greymon standing opposite Megadramon in full attack mode. She smiled as she seen Lillymon hovering above the huge Dramon, readying her attack,
"Flower Cannon!" A bolt of blue energy escaped from a large, yellow flower that Lillymon held in her tiny hands. Megadramon hissed in pain as he flicked his tail and knocked the sprite like Digimon into a far off wall.
"Lillymon!" Mimi screamed as she rushed to help her partner, Megadramon readied his attack again, this time targeting Mimi. Zudomon launched his hammer at Megadramon, but Megadramon easily dodged the cumbersome hammer.
"You think you can defeat e that easily?" he hissed as he launched his attack, Mimi didn't notice it coming towards her until Joe, Tai and Alana yelled at her to move. Lillymon was too weak to move, and Mimi was too scared. Megadramon grinned evilly as the missiles stayed on course. Metal-greymon tried to intercept them with his 'Giga Blaster' attack to no avail.
"Mantra Beams!" Mantramon cried out, her rainbow coloured attack only destroying one of the missiles. Growling in frustration she dived right onto Megadramon's snake like body, biting him hard in the process. Meanwhile Mimi and Lillymon were shoved to the side just before the other missile impacted onto the spot where they were just a second later. Mimi coughed as the dust settled around the two humans and one Digimon,
"My top is ruined!" Mimi whined as she started dusting herself off, her savior just rolled her eyes,
"Mimi," she moaned as she got up and dusted herself off. Lillymon helped the two girls up,
"Thank you Alana." she gasped, starting to get over her shock. Alana just nodded as she saw Mantramon being thrown off Megadramon but recovering quickly. Alana narrowed her eyes as Megadramon once again dodged Metal-greymon and Zudomon's latest attacks. Megadramon laughed at their attempts to defeat him,
"You think you can defeat me you fools? I am much stronger than I was before." he hissed, malevolence shining in his eyes, "the master will be pleased when he finds out I've defeated the infamous Digi-destined Children once and for all." The children below glared at the creature floating above them, Alana's hands shook as she shouted up to him,
"Yeah, you think you're so big don't you?" she yelled, Tai, Joe and Mimi could only stare at the young girl, never seeing her so angry before. Mantramon looked at her partner in awe as an aquamarine light erupted from her Crest, streaking towards the flying sea lion Digimon. The other kids and their Digimon watched in awe as Mantramon Digi-volved to Ultimate for the first time,
"Mantramon Digivolve to..." Mantramon's body stood upright as a tail and legs began to form. Her sea lion like muzzle twisted into a beak and her head elongated into a bird like one. As the light died down, everyone could see the ice blue bird like Digimon that replaced Mantramon. The markings on the bird's face and body remained the same as throughout all of the Digimon's forms, this time they were a light lilac colour that shimmered as the light reflected off them. "...Iredecemon!" Megadramon hissed and backed off as Mantramon had digi-volved, now he was grinning in delight,
"Well, another Ultimate. Let's see how this one fares, I doubt it will do much better than it's friends." Iredecemon's bright purple eyes stared at the Dramon with determination,
"That's what you think you big bully." she said calmly, "Howling Winds!" she cried as she summoned her attack. An ice cold wind suddenly appeared out of nowhere, blowing Megadramon back a bit. He looked nervous all of a sudden, not to mention cold.
"Of course!" Joe said suddenly, "Being a reptilian Dramon Megadramon's vulnerable to the cold." Tai and Mimi stared at him,
"You sure you don't want to take over Izzy's role at the minute?" Tai asked, looking impressed. Joe just rubbed hi neck in embarrassment. Alana smiled as she sensed Mimi's surprise, having a hunch on what she might well be thinking, before turning back to the battle raging in the sky above her." Megadramon was starting to get scared now, as he launched his attack at Iredecemon again,
"Genocide Attack!" he cried in panic, trying to catch the ice bird off guard, it didn't work,
"Ice Shard Storm!" Iredecemon cried as shards of ice scratched at‡ Megadramon's leathery hide, cutting gouges into it. Megadramon backed off and flew off in the opposite direction, obviously trying to save himself. Metal-greymon, Zudomon and Lillymon tried to give chase, but Iredecemon blocked them,
"Let him go." she said sternly, "We've won this one." she stated simply as she shimmered in a golden light and de-digi-volved into a Bukamon like creature that was green with purple markings, had blue eyes and a curly red mane. Alana deftly caught her partner as she fell,
"You did great." she praised, hugging her partner hard. Bikhumon grinned tiredly as the others came over to give their praises,
"That was so awesome." Tai whooped happily. Alana grinned at his enthusiasm before frowning as a feeling of helplessness overcame her.
"Guys," she aid tersely, "We'd better go find the others, Izzy's still in major trouble." Tai's grin turned to a look of worry in less than a second,
"Well we'd better go find the others then." he said, "Lillymon and Mimi go on ahead and tell us where they are ok? We'll follow you guys on the ground." Mimi and Lillymon nodded as Lillymon picked Mimi up into the air and started to search for their friends....
"Hey there Koushiro, how's you doing?" Lucy greeted, walking towards the boy who seemed to be sitting down looking at something. He looked up when he heard her and tried to stand but she stopped him before he had a chance. "hey, don't go doing anything foolish, as I'm told, that's Tai's job." The red head smiled and shook his head slowly.
"You're...not wrong." He wheezed. "But... this is... important." Lucy nodded, not doubting him for a second.
"In your own time Koushiro, I'm not going anywhere." Izzy nodded again and breathed deeply before speaking.
"It's... the prophesy..." he began, already running out of breath. Lucy waited patiently, not wanting to rush him, if this was about the prophesy then it really was important and as much as she wanted to tell him not to worry and to just rest, they needed to know whatever it was he knew. "I think I... figured it... out." Lucy stared at him, he was in this place, fighting all these things, and he had worked out the prophesy they could not? Izzy smiled weakly again. "I had... to... keep my... mind together... somehow." Lucy grinned at him.
"Well I'm glad you did." She wondered briefly how this was going to work, if he had to explain when he could barely speak..."Blackness will descend upon the Digital World infesting the two worlds once again, Unless the Destined Children give up what is in their hearts the worlds are doomed to die." She recited, Izzy nodded, knowing what she was doing right away.
"I think it means... our crests. Their powers... can contain evil." Lucy nodded and moved on to the next part, trying to remember what he was saying as she went.
"Illness and painful struggles bring together those who might fall apart," She paused. "Well I think we worked out that part. Izzy rolled his eyes at her. "Let the children of Calm and Determination give strength, reassure and bring peace to where others cannot reach."
"I think... you know that part... too." He breathed. Lucy frowned, she had figured out her roll but what about Alana? "She can... feel what others... feel." He told her. "This... this helps her... to focus them... and to understand." Lucy nodded again, that made sense.
"As long as hers isn't as bad as this, man I'm telling you, it really gives new meaning to the term 'unwanted guests.'" Izzy just stared at her, not quite sure what to do or say. "Sorry, went off on a tangent there. Last part, and once again resolve what has been lost to the ages."
"That part... I'm not... sure...about." He said, looking like he was still thinking about it. "The crests again... I think..." A pained look came across the boy's face, he tried to hide it but the pain was transferred to Lucy just as his thoughts had been before.
"Come on now Kou, you can fight this." She whispered, wincing through her own pain. He looked at her, the pain still apparent on his face and his eyes showing fear. She tried to smile through her own pain. "It's okay, I won't leave you here alone." Izzy shook his head.
"You have to... you must... tell...them...the others...the prophesy... I'll be...fine." Lucy watched him for a moment, she new he was not fine but he was right too, she had to tell the others what she knew.
"Okay but I'll be back, you hear that Koushiro? I'm not leaving you in this weird place." The red-head nodded, struggling to form a weak smile. Lucy nodded, her mind beginning to calm itself and the next thing she knew, it was bright again.
