Chronicles of Time: Of What the Future Brings

Chapter 48: Expect the Unexpected!

Zoe was awakened by the first rays of the sun; the others soon followed her, a couple of minutes later. As she stretched her hands and her feet, Zoe noticed someone missing…

"Hey, where's Takuya?" She asked.

Koji looked at the other who shook their heads before he replied, "Sorry, Zoe. But we don't know where Takuya is. Have you checked the kitchen? Maybe he got hungry."

Zoe nodded and she walked towards the kitchen to see if Takuya was eating as the others have suggested.

She emerged from the kitchen not long after that…and she was holding a piece of paper and wearing a frown.

"What's up?" Koichi asked.

"I can't believe that idiot!" Zoe said exasperated, "He left leaving only this note."

"Who?" Erika asked.

"Hey guys, have you seen Katsuya?" Yumi asked, "I can't seem to find him anywhere."

"Katsuya's missing too?" Koji asked.

"Where could he have run off to now?" Yumi wondered out loud.

"I don't think he went with Takuya," Zoe said, "Takuya's note said that he would be back by the end of the day."

"Where did he go?" Max asked.

"He didn't say." Zoe replied looking once again at the piece of paper which was Takuya's note, "All he said is that he wants us to stay here and that he went to check something out."

"Takuya left and Katsuya's missing." Tommy said as he slumped down at the sofa, "What are we suppose to do?"

"We'll do as Takuya instructed of course." Koji replied, "It's better if we trust him and wait for him. If he's not back by this afternoon, we'll go look for him…and for Katsuya too."

They all agreed to this and decided to make the best of their break before Takuya's time was up.

Meanwhile, Takuya had followed Katsuya several minutes after he had left. Picking his trail here and there.

"What's up with you Katsuya?" Takuya wondered, "What's with all the good-byes you said before you left?"

Two hours have passed since Takuya had walked up north. He was about to give up following his son and go back to the house when he saw something at the distance…a figure in a weird get-up.

"Who's there?" Takuya asked as he began to walk at a steady pace towards the silhouette of the person, "Katsuya?"

"I think you've mistaken me for somebody else, bearer of the spirit of fire." Said the person.

"Who are you?" Takuya asked the person that was now several meters away from him, and he noticed that he was wearing a mask, "And what's with the mask?"

The masked person just laughed something about the person's laugh made Takuya reach for his D-Tector. Something was telling him to be careful.

"It was foolish of you to come here by yourself." Said the masked one, "I doubt that even you could beat me."

"What are you talking about?" Takuya asked, confused but still, he was now holding on to his digi-vice, "I have no intention of fighting against one of us…a human."

The person laughed once again, "Oh really? But would it change your mind if I were to tell you that I am the last of the 12 generals? The last enemy you have to defeat before you and your pathetic friends could face against my master, Chronosmon?"

"Say what!?" Takuya exclaimed surprised, "You're one of his generals?!"

The masked one nodded, "They call me…Darkfire."

"Darkfire?" Katsuya asked, "How could someone like you sink so low that you would join against someone like Chronosmon? Was it for survival or perhaps it's because of his promise for power?"

"I am not like those worms that you think of." Darkfire replied, "I joined because I want to. But enough of all this talk, time for the semi-finals of this game."

"I don't need to digi-volve just to defeat you." Takuya declared, "I'll be done with you in no time."

"You're too confident." Darkfire smirked.

And so the semi-final match began.

How wrong Takuya was when he decided not to digi-volve. For out of nowhere, his enemy, Darkfire called forth a sword.

"I don't think that even someone like you, Takuya Kanbara, could survive against my sword." Darkfire said.

"This…" Takuya told himself, "…Is not good."

Back at the house that the rest of our heroes are staying at…

"Something doesn't feel right, guys." Tommy said.

"You're right Tommy." Zoe nodded in agreement, "I feel as if Takuya needs us somewhere."

"I say we go and look for those two." JP said.

"But Takuya said to stay here." Hitakaru said.

"What if that idiot ends up in trouble?" JP asked, "I don't know about you guys but I'm as worried for his safety as Zoe."

"Fine then," Koji said, "Let's go and look for him."

"…And for Katsuya too." Added Koichi.

Everyone nodded.

When they got outside, they all decided to digi-volve too make their travel faster and safer as well.

Back at the battle, Takuya has lost his jacket thanks to Darkfire's sword.

"That's it!" Takuya said annoyed, "I haven't even paid Koji for that! Now you got me mad!"

And with that, Takuya decided to digi-volve to Aldamon. He was hoping that this would somehow shake Darkfire's nerves, but the said foe just smirked and did not even flinch when Aldamon appeared before him.

"Now, this is getting rather interesting." Darkfire said as he poised himself to attack.

Aldamon became uneasy. He has a feeling that he was not suppose to fight Darkfire, but under the circumstances that he is in, he really doesn't have much of a choice. He too readied himself for any attack that the enemy might throw at him at the same time that he was readying himself to attack.

It was Aldamon who was first to attack.

"ATOMIC INFERNO!!" Aldamon cried as he attacked.

Darkfire just stood there. He positioned the sword in his front and within seconds, Aldamon's attack was sucked in by the sword.

"What the --!?" Aldamon exclaimed, not daring to believe what he just saw happened to his attack.

"Surprised?" Darkfire asked, "Now it's my turn, ATOMIC INFERNO!!!"

"Where do you think they are?" Kazemon asked Beetlemon who was flying with her as the others were sprinting.

Just then, up north from where they were walking/flying at a huge explosion occurred.

"I think that answers your question, Kazemon." Beetlemon replied.

And seeing the rising smoke from where they are, the rest of the gang began to fly/run faster than the pace they were going before.

When the smoke cleared out Aldamon was wounded a little. The attack did nothing much than bruise him since it was of the same element which he was immune to.

"I forgot about that little detail of having immunity against fire attacks." Darkfire said, "Then I guess we can say that this match is a bit even, wouldn't you agree."

"I don't think so." Aldamon replied, "There's a big difference in our power – where it comes from and how we use it."

"You're right, and it doesn't look to good in your favor." Darkfire retorted.

"I really don't want to do this, but you are forcing me to." Aldamon said, "You're worst than Lucemon…take this, SOLAR WIND DESTROYER!!!"

"I can do that too, you moron!" Darkfire replied and with that he used his own version of Aldamon's attack, "SOLAR WIND DESTROYER!!!"

The two attacks did not collide with one another, as if both Aldamon and Darkfire were intending to miss attacking the enemy's attack. Instead, the two solar wind destroyer attacks swished past each other and collided with their enemy.

As Aldamon and Darkfire were hit by their own attacks, both were sent flying. Aldamon crash landing near a building which happened to be a mall, while Darkfire was only pushed back a little, but his 'armor' and mask were torn asunder.

"That did not go too well than I have planned." Aldamon told himself as he began to stand up.

"I must admit, that was a lot stronger than I anticipated coming from someone like you." Darkfire said.

At this, Aldamon looked up at his opponent who has now lost his mask. When their eyes met and Aldamon saw who was behind the mask, he was shocked, confused, angry…you name it, he had mixed feelings.

"It can't be…" Aldamon gasped.

"It annoys me that you have destroyed the mask that Master Chronosmon had given to me." Darkfire said as he wiped the blood from his lips, "But I guess that makes us even, I destroyed your stupid jacket and you in turn destroyed my mask."

"Why?" Aldamon asked, still shocked, "Why are you fighting along side that creep now…Katsuya!?"

Katsuya a.k.a Darkfire, smirked even more and a couple of seconds later he began to laugh his ice-cold laugh.

"Why?" Katsuya asked, "Because this has been my destiny from the beginning!"

To be continued…

A/N: There. It's Takuya versus Katsuya, who will win? Well, what do you guys think? I hope there aren't many errors here. Well, I really have to rest up now, I'm still not feeling good. So, until next time, This is Haru Glory saying "PEACE" and signing out!

There are 8 days before Christmas!!!
