Me "Wow I'm surprised I actually got a few death threats in my last
reviews... Well because of those I'm making another chapter... Hopefully this
one will actually be good in my opinion. Also I appreciate very much the
constructive criticism one of you gave me... It's true my writing is rushed
because I try and get the chapter out for everyone to see so that they
won't rip my head off. Haha but I'll try to slow it down and hopefully it
will be better than the other ones."
Davis "Keyword: Hopefully."
Me "Yes well... Anyways I just wanted to mention that this chapter will probably be long... I sort of want to finish up this story in tops 3 more chapters so yeah."
Ken "And of course Azn Angel Hikari does not own any part of digimon yadda yadda yadda."
Me "Getting a bit lazy there aren't we Ken?"
Ken "Well yeah I mean I've had to say it for how many chapters?!"
Me "It's true it's true... Oh well on with the story!"
Chapter 12- Everything Must Come to an End
~*~
TK watched as the wagon was pulled away. He couldn't do anything, frozen to the spot in a state of fear; not for himself but for Kari. Sure he couldn't see too clearly but somehow the young blonde haired, blue eyed boy knew that the girl that was tied to the pole was more terrified than she had ever been in her life.
As they passed by the building with which, TK was hiding behind, he ran to the other side to see what everyone was up to. I mean come on. It's not like he could really run up waving his arms and be the 'knight in shining armor,' eventhough he knew that he desperately wanted to be. No. He needed a plan... But what? He had no way of contacting the other digidestined and Patamon wasn't even there to help.
'Great just great... Well TK this is what you get for jumping ahead without thinking all of this through...' Takeru thought to himself as he frantically thought about what to do. He couldn't let his best friend die at the hands of this... Well... Monster.
As the teenager thought about what to do, he saw the wagon was being loaded onto a sort of ship. It was a large vehicle, able to transport the wagon and still have lots of room to spare. Windows lined the bottom of it for passengers down below as the wagon was loaded onto it. Once everyone was on, a huge clear dome enveloped the vehicle as lights turned on around the ship.
Mentally cursing himself, Takeru started to run, bumping into some creatures along the way. He ran his hardest, more than usual but seeing as he was on the basketball team, that happened to be pretty fast. Knocking over some bins as he ran, the ship started to float as it started to make it's way into the vast digital sea.
As TK ran, he started to realize that maybe machinery happened to be a little faster and more powerful than human legs. As he neared his destination, his hand outstretched to grab hold of the ship, it booted into high gear, leaving the teenage boy with his hands on his knees, panting hard.
"This... Is... So... NOT my day..." The boy breathed still panting hard from the excessive running he had to do. Kneeling on the ground he punched it hard so that small bits of sand flew up, some getting caught in his blonde spikes. 'Great... So what do I do now?! He could be taking Kari anywhere!' The boy thought as his crystal blue eyes looked up and noticed something. It wasn't a big clue, heck he wasn't even sure if it would work, but something told him to go with his gut feeling and pursue what he saw. There in front of him was a somewhat large, however extremely dark, alleyway.
Dusting off his hands, TK looked around. There were some digimon that had been eyeing him strangely earlier but as he turned around they all pretended not to look and went on walking carrying on with their own business. Rolling his eyes, TK walked briskly towards the alleyway and peered inside. Once he got used to the darkness, he could make out some boxes and on the far end a fence. Sighing, TK shook his head and called out through the shadows.
"Carrie!" His call was answered by silence, "Great... I should have known not to accept such a stupid idea..." He muttered as a small cackling laugh was heard from behind him.
"So... My idea is foolish now is it?" The Scubamon that he had met earlier grinned with her crimson red eyes shining up at him.
"Oh forgive me miss. I did not mean to insult you... I need help... See there's that girl... But I think your master or king or whatever he is has taken her up above the water... The only problem is that I can't get there." TK explained all sort of rushed since he WAS in a hurry and all.
"Oh but that's where you're wrong my dear... You have a way to get up there, you just didn't know it yet. Here take this." The old scubamon said as she took a small cylindrical tube from out of her robes and placed in the palm of TK's.
"Take that and place it in the base of your mouth. With it you should be able to make it up to the surface breathing normally. You... Do know how to swim I presume?" The lady arched an eyebrow skeptically at TK as he just laughed and nodded.
"Miss... Just thank you so much... I don't know how... To hand it to you..." TK said looking down at the piece in his hands.
The old scubamon only smiled knowingly and patted TK on the back, "I understand. Go on now, get. Before another person rescues your pretty lady friend."
Smiling, TK put the small metal cylinder in his mouth and ran off down the street. The forcefield around the entire underwater city looked pretty solid but a human body or digimon somehow had the capability of pacing through it. It felt like ice as the blonde haired boy stepped through and out into the vast digital sea. Breathing through the small mouth piece, TK had enough air to make it up to the top. But where to go from there?
Swimming as fast and hard as he could, he pumped his muscular arms as the weight of drenched clothes wore him down a little. It took him about five minutes until he actually reached about ten feet from the surface. His ears were going to need a lot of unclogging after this little swim.
Breaking the surface of the water, TK shook his head and smoothed back his hair a little as he began to tread water, finding it increasingly difficult to stay there for long, for the weight of his soaked pants and shoes were weighing him down significantly. He could make out the shoreline, it was a little swim from where he was, but what was on his real mind was what was taking place ON the shore. Old scubamon were still trying to saw a hole through what appeared to be thin air, the hole getting increasingly larger and larger as time went on. It had grown significantly since he had been up here last. What was on the other side though... Surprised him. Takeru could make out trees and grass, and he much doubted that that was another part of the digital world.
Farther off down the shore, TK could make out something else too though. It was an abandoned wagon. Just like the one that he had seen Kari tied to. The monstrous digimon wasn't too far off as other scubamon tied up a pole in the sand as a small figure wavered in the wind at the top. A small white fabric could be seen flying in the wind as it tried to flee off of the tiny girl's body.
"Kari..." TK breathed quietly as he watched the girl. Even though she was so far away, TK could still feel the uncomfort across her face, the uncertainty about what would happen to her.
After awhile, TK snapped out of his daydream and realized that his chin was now just below the surface of water. His pants and shirt were still weighing him down increasingly as he tried to swim to shore, strong muscles along the lengths of his arms as he slowly but surely made it to the small cove on the sandy beach. A couple of times, the teenager even had to pull up his wet and soggy pants as he finally got to shore and crawled out, sand clinging to the wet fabric.
Shaking his head out, drops of water flew from his head as TK's crystal blue eyes set on his path ahead. He couldn't think of anything anymore except for the fact that he had to save the girl that was his best friend. Stumbling a bit as he first got up, TK started running as fast as his tired legs would carry him towards the pole that stood ominously on the beach. The huge digimon that the teenager presumably thought was the beast that had taken Kari, stood beside the pole and casually watched out into the sea.
TK ran and ran, nothing could stop him, not even his occasional stumbles that proceeded with a cursing afterwards. He had to get there. He had to help someway, somehow. His mind was all made up, full of teenage angst that usually had befallen young teenage boys.
Once TK had gotten a fair distance to the tall wooden pole and the huge digimon that stood beside it, he started to have doubts about the entire thing. After all what could he do once he was there? He was but a simple human, just left with powerful emotions to drive him. Yet his nemesis, the digimon that had tied up his best friend in the most uncomfortable way, he was by far superior and stronger than TK could ever be.
Just as TK neared the pole, Unioctomon turned around, his long tentacles quavering as the large digimon barked such a loud laugh that even the trees shook. He saw the young teenager before him, seemingly frail compared to the gigantic digimon that he himself was. Shaking his head, Unioctomon spoke, his voice booming loud over the vast digital sea, "So this is the prince charming that they send. You'll have to do better than that little boy if you want to get her back."
Panting, TK looked up at the digimon. He knew he was small compared to him, and he knew he wouldn't stand one chance against the digimon, yet he had one thing that would not fail him; pure determination and heart to win her back.
"You're a lunatic you know that? Seriously I can't believe you claim to love her so much that you would harm her in such a way! Disgrace who she really is by tying her up like that!" TK yelled at the digimon so he would be heard over Unioctomon's laugh. He could see her now, oh how much he wanted to touch her face and tell her everything would be alright. Kari was so pale that she looked like white marble. Her crimson eyes were closed shut as if she were in a peaceful dream yet the rest of her body was in such an array it could not be possible. Her white dress was cut in various places, as crimson red patches leaked through in some areas. Yet through all of it, she still had the aura of a goddess, pure and beautiful even through everything.
"Do not anger me BOY! I shall teach you some better manners than that!" Unioctomon's voice boomed as his voice increased in rage at being mocked by a mere mortal. Waving gigantic blue tentacles around, Unioctomon's aura changed to a black mess as his eyes grew a bright yellow.
"SHADED DISILLUSION!" The Digimon's voice boomed as his tentacles shot forward and black light shot towards the ground, a powerful wave of darkness hit the ground as sand flew up everywhere. TK tried to brace himself with his arms yet the gust was just too powerful and eventually overcame him.
The boy was flung several feet as he ended up slamming into the ground, chest first. The wind was quickly knocked out of him as several small cuts sliced into his cheeks and arms from the black blow. Wincing, TK slowly started to get up, his arms slowly pushing himself up as his feet tried to stand up as well.
"You pitiful fool. You cannot overcome me don't you understand?!" Unioctomon scrutinized as he watched TK's determination will him to get up even after being hit head on by the dark blow, "I have to give you credit though. Not many normal human beings would be able to survive that blow."
"Yes well I guess you have to learn the hard way how I don't let my friends down," TK said smirking a bit, his bottom lip leeking some blood as it dripped down his strong chin. Wiping the bit of blood away with his arm, TK continued to trudge on back towards the digimon only to have the great lord shake his head in pity at the boy.
"That is where you are wrong. You will feel the wrath of my fury... CRIMSON BIND!" Unioctomon said again, his eyes taking on another yellow tint as the tentacles on his body this time turned a crimson red colour. They shot forth towards the boy as some gripped the boy's body tight, causing the breath to be knocked out of the teenager once again. Small spikes started to squeeze into the boy's skin as he cried out in pain and watched through slit eyes as other tentacles came forth and started whipping the boy against the side of the head and around various other parts of the body.
'Kari... No... Forgive me... This time... This time I cannot save you...' TK thought as the pain increased in his lungs and a yell shot forth from him.
"Pathetic human... I told you you cannot defeat me.. And like the girl you will suffer the consequences slowly yet painfully..." Unioctomon said menacingly as he continued his small torture upon the young boy.
"NOT IF I CAN HELP IT BUDDY!!! BOOM BUBBLE PAH!!" Patamon said angrily as the small pig with wings shot through the air and sent a large burst of air to hit the digimon's head to get his attention.
Being quite surprised, Unioctomon released TK by accident as the teenager fell to the ground with a thud, his body looking somewhat flimsier than before. Shaking his head, TK blinked his eyes not used to feeling such air around his body without the strong tentacles pressing in against him.
"What...? Patamon!" TK yelled in surprise as he saw his fellow partner fly towards him with concern. Smiling, he couldn't help but be overjoyed to see one of his best friends in the entire world.
"C'mon TK don't be a wimp! You need to let me digivolve and beat this guy!" Patamon said with the same wit and humor that he had always possessed.
Smiling, TK carefully stood up, his energy not quite the same as before, yet it wasn't too bad. For the first time in a long while, TK actually felt hope, what his entire being was all about, "Let's do it pal!" TK said with determination as a yellow aura around Patamon started to form. The digimon spun in circles shouting, "Patamon digivolve to... Angemon!"
Looking at his digimon curiously, TK was a little awestruck. It had been awhile since he had actually seen Patamon in the form of Angemon. Yet Gennai had always said that the power of all their crests were indeed in each of the digidestined's hearts. Angemon was glorious, his entire being represented hope for the future. He was the angel of hope, and now he would help TK to restore the hope that he once had of saving Kari.
"You picked the wrong boy to mess with Unioctomon," Angemon said valiantly as he twirled the golden staff that he usually held.
"Oh dear now this really is rich. A boy comes to save a girl. Boy gets beaten by superior being. Younger digimon comes to the rescue for the boy and ultimately tries to save the girl as well. Now all I need is some popcorn to watch this heroic movie and I'll be all set," Unioctomon said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes and looked at the small angel compared to the size of himself. He was quite tall, easily much taller than the cliffs that resided just above the beach.
"We'll see about that..." The silver helmeted angel said as he brought back his hand and then shot forward towards Unioctomon shouting in a heroic type voice, "Hand of Fate!" A bright light shot forward from Angemon's fist as he punched the air. The light shot forward and proceeded to hit Unioctomon straight in the chest making him step back a bit, his breath knocked out only a tad.
"Hmm not bad not bad... But your going to have to do better than that to defeat me," The large monstrous digimon said as he smirked as his eyes grew yellow again and his tentacles rose, the dark aura that already surrounded the digimon, increased in size.
"CRIMSON BIND!" Uniocotomon shouted as the same attack that was used on TK before, shot forth aimed at the angelic digimon. The attack was too fast for Angemon as the tentacles wrapped around him, squeezing every last breath that the digimon had.
TK watched in horror as he old friend and companion yelled in agony as Uniocotomon continued to torture him, with his incessant bind attack. Looking around frantically for some help, TK saw some battle raging on over by the portal that was being opened, yet it was too far away for him to yell for help. A Greymon and Biyomon could be seen taking on the Scubamon from below as he watched for a split second. Turning back towards the battle, TK couldn't help but feel useless. It was as if he let his partner down again, useless to do anything to help the digimon.
'No... Not again... I can't let him leave me again...' TK thought referring to the angelic digimon that was slowly losing strength with every passing moment, 'And I can't lose her... I made a promise to protect her... And I'll keep that promise!' The young teenager thought fiercely as he looked back over to the pole, Hikari wavering in the wind helpless to do anything. Hope was renewed in his chest, nothing would stop him from saving the ones he loved even if it cost him his own life. At least this way he would die honorably.
Light emitted from TK's chest as well as Angemon's as he realized just how much everyone meant to him. He wouldn't stop until they were all safe, he just wouldn't give up. He wasn't the same little 8 year old cry baby anymore, one that would just sit around and wait for it all to stop. No, he was going to take action.
"Angemon digivolve to... MagnaAngemon," The angelic digimon declared as he changed forms, the bright light too much for Unioctomon's dark tentacles as he finally let go of the digimon.
"You've threatened to take her life more than once. I will not let you get away with this any longer," MagnaAngemon's voice said loudly as a sword appeared on his arm, "Gate of Destiny!" The large angelic digimon said as he waved the sword around in a circular motion and then moved aside for the gate to open. The force was strong as it started to suck things in, including the large digimon in front of them. The pole in which Kari was strapped to, snapped and fell, releasing the ropes that binded her to it.
"You... Haven't... Seen.... THE LAST OF ME!!!!" Unioctomon yelled as he tried to scramble backwards but to no avail. The golden gate did not close until every last one of Unioctomon's tentacles were inside it. Then the gate sealed, and vanished.
MagnaAngemon de-digivolved back into the small form of Patamon as he lay on the beach limp. Quickly TK rushed over and knelt next to his partner for life.
"Patamon! No Patamon please wake up," TK said looking at his digimon which lay limp in his arms. Slowly the flying pig opened his eyes and looked up at TK, smiling.
"Please just 5 more minutes coach... I need a nap..." Patamon said softly as he closed his eyes again and went to sleep. Smiling, TK lay his Digimon down and then remembered why he was there in the first place. Turning around frantically, there off to the side lay the girl he loved the most in the world. Her form almost hidden beneath sand as he quickly rushed over and knelt next to her. She had been beaten a bit, but it wasn't anything too serious. Taking extra precaution, TK lifted her into his arms and cradled her small form. Lowering his head he planted a kiss on her forehead and prayed she would wake up.
"Please Kari... Please just show me you're still here..." TK said quietly, tears forming in his eyes as he looked at her form. Then, slowly her body began to shake a bit as she opened her eyes half way and looked at the blonde haired teenager.
"I... love you..." Was all she got out when her eyes closed once more, encompassing her into sleep.

Davis "Keyword: Hopefully."
Me "Yes well... Anyways I just wanted to mention that this chapter will probably be long... I sort of want to finish up this story in tops 3 more chapters so yeah."
Ken "And of course Azn Angel Hikari does not own any part of digimon yadda yadda yadda."

Ken "Well yeah I mean I've had to say it for how many chapters?!"
Me "It's true it's true... Oh well on with the story!"
Chapter 12- Everything Must Come to an End
~*~
TK watched as the wagon was pulled away. He couldn't do anything, frozen to the spot in a state of fear; not for himself but for Kari. Sure he couldn't see too clearly but somehow the young blonde haired, blue eyed boy knew that the girl that was tied to the pole was more terrified than she had ever been in her life.
As they passed by the building with which, TK was hiding behind, he ran to the other side to see what everyone was up to. I mean come on. It's not like he could really run up waving his arms and be the 'knight in shining armor,' eventhough he knew that he desperately wanted to be. No. He needed a plan... But what? He had no way of contacting the other digidestined and Patamon wasn't even there to help.
'Great just great... Well TK this is what you get for jumping ahead without thinking all of this through...' Takeru thought to himself as he frantically thought about what to do. He couldn't let his best friend die at the hands of this... Well... Monster.
As the teenager thought about what to do, he saw the wagon was being loaded onto a sort of ship. It was a large vehicle, able to transport the wagon and still have lots of room to spare. Windows lined the bottom of it for passengers down below as the wagon was loaded onto it. Once everyone was on, a huge clear dome enveloped the vehicle as lights turned on around the ship.
Mentally cursing himself, Takeru started to run, bumping into some creatures along the way. He ran his hardest, more than usual but seeing as he was on the basketball team, that happened to be pretty fast. Knocking over some bins as he ran, the ship started to float as it started to make it's way into the vast digital sea.
As TK ran, he started to realize that maybe machinery happened to be a little faster and more powerful than human legs. As he neared his destination, his hand outstretched to grab hold of the ship, it booted into high gear, leaving the teenage boy with his hands on his knees, panting hard.
"This... Is... So... NOT my day..." The boy breathed still panting hard from the excessive running he had to do. Kneeling on the ground he punched it hard so that small bits of sand flew up, some getting caught in his blonde spikes. 'Great... So what do I do now?! He could be taking Kari anywhere!' The boy thought as his crystal blue eyes looked up and noticed something. It wasn't a big clue, heck he wasn't even sure if it would work, but something told him to go with his gut feeling and pursue what he saw. There in front of him was a somewhat large, however extremely dark, alleyway.
Dusting off his hands, TK looked around. There were some digimon that had been eyeing him strangely earlier but as he turned around they all pretended not to look and went on walking carrying on with their own business. Rolling his eyes, TK walked briskly towards the alleyway and peered inside. Once he got used to the darkness, he could make out some boxes and on the far end a fence. Sighing, TK shook his head and called out through the shadows.
"Carrie!" His call was answered by silence, "Great... I should have known not to accept such a stupid idea..." He muttered as a small cackling laugh was heard from behind him.
"So... My idea is foolish now is it?" The Scubamon that he had met earlier grinned with her crimson red eyes shining up at him.
"Oh forgive me miss. I did not mean to insult you... I need help... See there's that girl... But I think your master or king or whatever he is has taken her up above the water... The only problem is that I can't get there." TK explained all sort of rushed since he WAS in a hurry and all.
"Oh but that's where you're wrong my dear... You have a way to get up there, you just didn't know it yet. Here take this." The old scubamon said as she took a small cylindrical tube from out of her robes and placed in the palm of TK's.
"Take that and place it in the base of your mouth. With it you should be able to make it up to the surface breathing normally. You... Do know how to swim I presume?" The lady arched an eyebrow skeptically at TK as he just laughed and nodded.
"Miss... Just thank you so much... I don't know how... To hand it to you..." TK said looking down at the piece in his hands.
The old scubamon only smiled knowingly and patted TK on the back, "I understand. Go on now, get. Before another person rescues your pretty lady friend."
Smiling, TK put the small metal cylinder in his mouth and ran off down the street. The forcefield around the entire underwater city looked pretty solid but a human body or digimon somehow had the capability of pacing through it. It felt like ice as the blonde haired boy stepped through and out into the vast digital sea. Breathing through the small mouth piece, TK had enough air to make it up to the top. But where to go from there?
Swimming as fast and hard as he could, he pumped his muscular arms as the weight of drenched clothes wore him down a little. It took him about five minutes until he actually reached about ten feet from the surface. His ears were going to need a lot of unclogging after this little swim.
Breaking the surface of the water, TK shook his head and smoothed back his hair a little as he began to tread water, finding it increasingly difficult to stay there for long, for the weight of his soaked pants and shoes were weighing him down significantly. He could make out the shoreline, it was a little swim from where he was, but what was on his real mind was what was taking place ON the shore. Old scubamon were still trying to saw a hole through what appeared to be thin air, the hole getting increasingly larger and larger as time went on. It had grown significantly since he had been up here last. What was on the other side though... Surprised him. Takeru could make out trees and grass, and he much doubted that that was another part of the digital world.
Farther off down the shore, TK could make out something else too though. It was an abandoned wagon. Just like the one that he had seen Kari tied to. The monstrous digimon wasn't too far off as other scubamon tied up a pole in the sand as a small figure wavered in the wind at the top. A small white fabric could be seen flying in the wind as it tried to flee off of the tiny girl's body.
"Kari..." TK breathed quietly as he watched the girl. Even though she was so far away, TK could still feel the uncomfort across her face, the uncertainty about what would happen to her.
After awhile, TK snapped out of his daydream and realized that his chin was now just below the surface of water. His pants and shirt were still weighing him down increasingly as he tried to swim to shore, strong muscles along the lengths of his arms as he slowly but surely made it to the small cove on the sandy beach. A couple of times, the teenager even had to pull up his wet and soggy pants as he finally got to shore and crawled out, sand clinging to the wet fabric.
Shaking his head out, drops of water flew from his head as TK's crystal blue eyes set on his path ahead. He couldn't think of anything anymore except for the fact that he had to save the girl that was his best friend. Stumbling a bit as he first got up, TK started running as fast as his tired legs would carry him towards the pole that stood ominously on the beach. The huge digimon that the teenager presumably thought was the beast that had taken Kari, stood beside the pole and casually watched out into the sea.
TK ran and ran, nothing could stop him, not even his occasional stumbles that proceeded with a cursing afterwards. He had to get there. He had to help someway, somehow. His mind was all made up, full of teenage angst that usually had befallen young teenage boys.
Once TK had gotten a fair distance to the tall wooden pole and the huge digimon that stood beside it, he started to have doubts about the entire thing. After all what could he do once he was there? He was but a simple human, just left with powerful emotions to drive him. Yet his nemesis, the digimon that had tied up his best friend in the most uncomfortable way, he was by far superior and stronger than TK could ever be.
Just as TK neared the pole, Unioctomon turned around, his long tentacles quavering as the large digimon barked such a loud laugh that even the trees shook. He saw the young teenager before him, seemingly frail compared to the gigantic digimon that he himself was. Shaking his head, Unioctomon spoke, his voice booming loud over the vast digital sea, "So this is the prince charming that they send. You'll have to do better than that little boy if you want to get her back."
Panting, TK looked up at the digimon. He knew he was small compared to him, and he knew he wouldn't stand one chance against the digimon, yet he had one thing that would not fail him; pure determination and heart to win her back.
"You're a lunatic you know that? Seriously I can't believe you claim to love her so much that you would harm her in such a way! Disgrace who she really is by tying her up like that!" TK yelled at the digimon so he would be heard over Unioctomon's laugh. He could see her now, oh how much he wanted to touch her face and tell her everything would be alright. Kari was so pale that she looked like white marble. Her crimson eyes were closed shut as if she were in a peaceful dream yet the rest of her body was in such an array it could not be possible. Her white dress was cut in various places, as crimson red patches leaked through in some areas. Yet through all of it, she still had the aura of a goddess, pure and beautiful even through everything.
"Do not anger me BOY! I shall teach you some better manners than that!" Unioctomon's voice boomed as his voice increased in rage at being mocked by a mere mortal. Waving gigantic blue tentacles around, Unioctomon's aura changed to a black mess as his eyes grew a bright yellow.
"SHADED DISILLUSION!" The Digimon's voice boomed as his tentacles shot forward and black light shot towards the ground, a powerful wave of darkness hit the ground as sand flew up everywhere. TK tried to brace himself with his arms yet the gust was just too powerful and eventually overcame him.
The boy was flung several feet as he ended up slamming into the ground, chest first. The wind was quickly knocked out of him as several small cuts sliced into his cheeks and arms from the black blow. Wincing, TK slowly started to get up, his arms slowly pushing himself up as his feet tried to stand up as well.
"You pitiful fool. You cannot overcome me don't you understand?!" Unioctomon scrutinized as he watched TK's determination will him to get up even after being hit head on by the dark blow, "I have to give you credit though. Not many normal human beings would be able to survive that blow."
"Yes well I guess you have to learn the hard way how I don't let my friends down," TK said smirking a bit, his bottom lip leeking some blood as it dripped down his strong chin. Wiping the bit of blood away with his arm, TK continued to trudge on back towards the digimon only to have the great lord shake his head in pity at the boy.
"That is where you are wrong. You will feel the wrath of my fury... CRIMSON BIND!" Unioctomon said again, his eyes taking on another yellow tint as the tentacles on his body this time turned a crimson red colour. They shot forth towards the boy as some gripped the boy's body tight, causing the breath to be knocked out of the teenager once again. Small spikes started to squeeze into the boy's skin as he cried out in pain and watched through slit eyes as other tentacles came forth and started whipping the boy against the side of the head and around various other parts of the body.
'Kari... No... Forgive me... This time... This time I cannot save you...' TK thought as the pain increased in his lungs and a yell shot forth from him.
"Pathetic human... I told you you cannot defeat me.. And like the girl you will suffer the consequences slowly yet painfully..." Unioctomon said menacingly as he continued his small torture upon the young boy.
"NOT IF I CAN HELP IT BUDDY!!! BOOM BUBBLE PAH!!" Patamon said angrily as the small pig with wings shot through the air and sent a large burst of air to hit the digimon's head to get his attention.
Being quite surprised, Unioctomon released TK by accident as the teenager fell to the ground with a thud, his body looking somewhat flimsier than before. Shaking his head, TK blinked his eyes not used to feeling such air around his body without the strong tentacles pressing in against him.
"What...? Patamon!" TK yelled in surprise as he saw his fellow partner fly towards him with concern. Smiling, he couldn't help but be overjoyed to see one of his best friends in the entire world.
"C'mon TK don't be a wimp! You need to let me digivolve and beat this guy!" Patamon said with the same wit and humor that he had always possessed.
Smiling, TK carefully stood up, his energy not quite the same as before, yet it wasn't too bad. For the first time in a long while, TK actually felt hope, what his entire being was all about, "Let's do it pal!" TK said with determination as a yellow aura around Patamon started to form. The digimon spun in circles shouting, "Patamon digivolve to... Angemon!"
Looking at his digimon curiously, TK was a little awestruck. It had been awhile since he had actually seen Patamon in the form of Angemon. Yet Gennai had always said that the power of all their crests were indeed in each of the digidestined's hearts. Angemon was glorious, his entire being represented hope for the future. He was the angel of hope, and now he would help TK to restore the hope that he once had of saving Kari.
"You picked the wrong boy to mess with Unioctomon," Angemon said valiantly as he twirled the golden staff that he usually held.
"Oh dear now this really is rich. A boy comes to save a girl. Boy gets beaten by superior being. Younger digimon comes to the rescue for the boy and ultimately tries to save the girl as well. Now all I need is some popcorn to watch this heroic movie and I'll be all set," Unioctomon said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes and looked at the small angel compared to the size of himself. He was quite tall, easily much taller than the cliffs that resided just above the beach.
"We'll see about that..." The silver helmeted angel said as he brought back his hand and then shot forward towards Unioctomon shouting in a heroic type voice, "Hand of Fate!" A bright light shot forward from Angemon's fist as he punched the air. The light shot forward and proceeded to hit Unioctomon straight in the chest making him step back a bit, his breath knocked out only a tad.
"Hmm not bad not bad... But your going to have to do better than that to defeat me," The large monstrous digimon said as he smirked as his eyes grew yellow again and his tentacles rose, the dark aura that already surrounded the digimon, increased in size.
"CRIMSON BIND!" Uniocotomon shouted as the same attack that was used on TK before, shot forth aimed at the angelic digimon. The attack was too fast for Angemon as the tentacles wrapped around him, squeezing every last breath that the digimon had.
TK watched in horror as he old friend and companion yelled in agony as Uniocotomon continued to torture him, with his incessant bind attack. Looking around frantically for some help, TK saw some battle raging on over by the portal that was being opened, yet it was too far away for him to yell for help. A Greymon and Biyomon could be seen taking on the Scubamon from below as he watched for a split second. Turning back towards the battle, TK couldn't help but feel useless. It was as if he let his partner down again, useless to do anything to help the digimon.
'No... Not again... I can't let him leave me again...' TK thought referring to the angelic digimon that was slowly losing strength with every passing moment, 'And I can't lose her... I made a promise to protect her... And I'll keep that promise!' The young teenager thought fiercely as he looked back over to the pole, Hikari wavering in the wind helpless to do anything. Hope was renewed in his chest, nothing would stop him from saving the ones he loved even if it cost him his own life. At least this way he would die honorably.
Light emitted from TK's chest as well as Angemon's as he realized just how much everyone meant to him. He wouldn't stop until they were all safe, he just wouldn't give up. He wasn't the same little 8 year old cry baby anymore, one that would just sit around and wait for it all to stop. No, he was going to take action.
"Angemon digivolve to... MagnaAngemon," The angelic digimon declared as he changed forms, the bright light too much for Unioctomon's dark tentacles as he finally let go of the digimon.
"You've threatened to take her life more than once. I will not let you get away with this any longer," MagnaAngemon's voice said loudly as a sword appeared on his arm, "Gate of Destiny!" The large angelic digimon said as he waved the sword around in a circular motion and then moved aside for the gate to open. The force was strong as it started to suck things in, including the large digimon in front of them. The pole in which Kari was strapped to, snapped and fell, releasing the ropes that binded her to it.
"You... Haven't... Seen.... THE LAST OF ME!!!!" Unioctomon yelled as he tried to scramble backwards but to no avail. The golden gate did not close until every last one of Unioctomon's tentacles were inside it. Then the gate sealed, and vanished.
MagnaAngemon de-digivolved back into the small form of Patamon as he lay on the beach limp. Quickly TK rushed over and knelt next to his partner for life.
"Patamon! No Patamon please wake up," TK said looking at his digimon which lay limp in his arms. Slowly the flying pig opened his eyes and looked up at TK, smiling.
"Please just 5 more minutes coach... I need a nap..." Patamon said softly as he closed his eyes again and went to sleep. Smiling, TK lay his Digimon down and then remembered why he was there in the first place. Turning around frantically, there off to the side lay the girl he loved the most in the world. Her form almost hidden beneath sand as he quickly rushed over and knelt next to her. She had been beaten a bit, but it wasn't anything too serious. Taking extra precaution, TK lifted her into his arms and cradled her small form. Lowering his head he planted a kiss on her forehead and prayed she would wake up.
"Please Kari... Please just show me you're still here..." TK said quietly, tears forming in his eyes as he looked at her form. Then, slowly her body began to shake a bit as she opened her eyes half way and looked at the blonde haired teenager.
"I... love you..." Was all she got out when her eyes closed once more, encompassing her into sleep.
