Chronicles of Time: Of What the Future Brings
Chapter 49: Chronosmon Appears!
"What kind of reason is that!?" Aldamon asked.
Katsuya looked at Aldamon sternly, but he kept his mouth shut.
"You betrayed us because of something stupid as destiny?" Aldamon continued.
"Betrayed you?" Katsuya asked, "I have been Chronosmon's general from the beginning. Yumi was caught thanks to me, although I must admit it was hard to act as if you really are trying to help when in truth you're letting things happen according to your master's plan…Yumi would have been capture, spared from all the trouble and pain that you all would go through, but…Black had to come along and save 'us'."
"You don't even care about your twin sister?" Aldamon asked, "You're not the Katsuya I remembered."
"The 'Katsuya' that you have met was nothing more than a façade. A mere acting to get closer to you and the others and to attain the valuable information that my master needs." Katsuya replied, his expression not changing one bit.
Just then, Katsuya felt the presence of other people…Zoe and the others.
"Ah, perfect timing." Katsuya said, "It would make my work easier."
"Aldamon!" Kazemon cried out when she saw him.
"Kazemon?" Aldamon asked, "Beowulfmon…everyone, what are you guys doing here? I told you to stay inside the house, didn't I?"
"You know us." Beetlemon replied, "We're not the type of people who would let a party pass up."
"Katsuya?" Zephyrmon asked, "What are you doing and what's with the get up?"
Katsuya did not reply.
"What's going on Aldamon?" Loweemon asked, "We saw an explosion and thought that you would be fighting against a general. Did you two defeated him already?"
"No." Aldamon replied, his tone serious.
"Then, what's with the explosion and the bruises?" Kumamon asked.
"I think this would answer your questions." Katsuya said and with that he attacked the others, "DRAGON FIRE CROSSBOW!!!"
At once, Aldamon rushed to his comrades' aid. The moment he felt that Katsuya was about to attack using the power of the Grana Saber, he decided to use the defensive technique that Flahma had thought him.
"BURNING BARIER!!!" Aldamon called out the name of his technique and immediately a flaming barrier protected the others from what he knew as a very powerful attack.
"Katsuya, what are you playing at?!" Grumblemon exclaimed when the barrier stopped Katsuya's attack.
"Katsuya?" Zephyrmon asked, "What's all this about?"
Katsuya sighed, "I really detest people who always want an explanation out of everything. But what's it to all of you anyway? You're all going to die here anyway."
"Not if I can help it!" Aldamon said as he charged towards Katsuya.
Katsuya at once digi-volved to Dark Aldamon -- Aldamon's dark version who has a black armor instead of red and who had devil wings instead of Aldamon's normal flaming wings.
"Aldamon stop it!" Beowulfmon shouted, "You have no idea who Katsuya really is!"
"What are you talking about, Beowulfmon?" Kazemon asked.
"Katsuya and Yumi are…" Beowulfmon was about to say but he was cut off by Aldamon's reply.
"I know exactly who they are, Beowulfmon!" Aldamon replied, "But I'm surprised that you know of that little secret as well."
"What?" Zephyrmon asked, "How did --?"
"You're lying, Aldamon." Dark Aldamon said, as he stopped attacking. "How could you know, I never told you and neither did Yumi…and I don't suppose Koji will ever break his promise."
"You should really make sure that when you lend something like your digi-vice, you won't have any hidden files inside it." Aldamon replied. "Like video clips and pictures for instance…as well as sound clips."
"I see…" Dark Aldamon replied, "I guess I wasn't careful enough."
"What on earth are they talking about?" Beetlemon asked.
"Please," Kazemon pleaded, "Both of you stop fighting."
Both Aldamon and Dark Aldamon stared at each other, neither of them moving.
"I'm sorry." The Dark Aldamon said, "But I can't stop now…I have…to do this for the future."
"What future are you talking about?" Aldamon asked, "Kill me and you kill your sister and yourself as well…isn't that right? Or maybe you want to die…that's why…"
"Whatever you say will not stop me from completing what Chronosmon had asked of me." Dark Aldamon cut in, "Besides, I've told you before, right? That the Katsuya that you journeyed with is nothing but a mere façade…an acting to get close to everyone!"
"That's a lie!" Beowulfmon said, "The tears that you shed when you thought that Takuya and Zoe are dead and the joy you felt when you saw that they are still alive is not a mere façade! The Katsuya that we are facing now is!"
"He's right." Zephyrmon said, "I don't know what happened to you, brother. But I know that you are not evil! Mom and Dad did not teach us to be!"
"How would you know?" Dark Aldamon asked as he called forth the Grana Saber, "I have enough of this, the time has come to finish what I am asked to do."
"He's not going to listen, is he?" Kumamon asked.
"Then I too have no choice." Zephyrmon said, "Takuya! Use this!"
And with that, Zephyrmon threw Aldamon a sword that she conjured using the power of the wind.
"What is this?" Aldamon asked.
"The Winged Sword." Dark Aldamon said, "I'm impressed, you managed to call upon it…well, it took you long enough, Yumi. I was beginning to wonder if you really did possess Mom's power."
"Winged Sword?" Kazemon asked. "How did you do that?"
"I made it using the same way that Master Ghusto thought you your own special ability, Kazemon." Zephyrmon replied, "And I have a feeling that you might need to use that too in this battle."
Kazemon nodded, knowing full well what it was that Zephyrmon meant.
"It's such a pity that you won't have much use for that sword, Aldamon." Dark Aldamon said, "It will only make my sword stronger. Wind strengthens fire, remember?"
"I wouldn't think that way if I were you." Aldamon replied.
And with that, Aldamon showed Dark Aldamon what he meant. He immediately charged forth using the sword and slashed his foe.
Of course, Dark Aldamon used the sword to block the attack, but much to his surprise and to the others' surprise as well, Takuya's attack went past the block which caused a wound to appear at Dark Aldamon's right cheek.
"How did that happen?" Dark Aldamon asked.
"You're right that wind can strengthen fire." Aldamon explained, "But you forgot one thing, it can also put the flames out."
"Wow…" Woodmon said, "Aldamon sure could think up ways on how to win."
"Katsuya would be pretty mad after this battle." Zephyrmon said.
"Why?" Loweemon asked, "Shouldn't we be the one who's mad."
"Of course you guys will be mad at him but," Zephyrmon replied, "Those two swords, I don't think Takuya knows of this but, the Winged Sword and the Grana Saber are swords that really hurt the one they collide with. That slash would not only wound Dark Aldamon but also Katsuya."
"So what you're saying is that when someone gets hit by those swords, even if they're wearing any kind of armor, no matter how strong or thickthe armor is, it will go pass it and would directly hit the person…with or without the armor?" Beowulfmon said.
Zephyrmon nodded.
"Then that means," Kazemon said, "Someone would get really hurt at this."
"You'll pay for that!" Dark Aldamon exclaimed, "Even if you are my father!"
What Dark Aldamon said, surprised everyone…well, everyone except those that already knew.
"Did he say…father?" Kazemon asked.
"But…that's not possible, right?" Lanamon asked, "I mean…Katsuya and Yumi are the same age as us…Takuya can't be their father…he's not even married yet."
Zephyrmon was silent at this and so was Beowulfmon, both of them could not think of a way to explain how it was possible.
"Unless…" Kazemon suddenly remembered, "…Is this what Takuya was thinking about when he asked me…"
"Ask you what?" Mercurymon asked.
"That time, when we were relaxing at the digi-world after we have returned from our training." Kazemon began to recollect, "Takuya asked me what I would do when I happen to met someone from the future and that someone happens to be my future son or daughter…"
"So Takuya had known about it for a while now." Zephyrmon said.
"So, what I am thinking is right then?" Kazemon asked, "You and Katsuya ARE from the future?"
"You're right, Kazemon." Beowulfmon replied, he then saw the shocked expression on Loweemon's face, "That's why I told you what I told you Loweemon."
"I see…" Loweemon said, "Then, how did you know about it?"
Beowulfmon looked back at the still fighting Aldamons, "I guessed it and I basically told Katsuya my guess and he approved that it was the truth."
"Then, it only adds more reason to why those two shouldn't fight!" Kumamon said.
"Yes, it does." Zephyrmon said, "But I think we can't do anything about it…this is something that has to happen, I guess…"
"We've played long enough, Aldamon." Dark Aldamon said, "It's time to really finish things off!"
"You're right about that." Aldamon replied.
And with that, the two Aldamons charged each other, the two swords ready and waiting to be plunge into the other owner's body.
And plunge the Grana Saber did. But before it did, Zephyrmon gave Kazemon the signal and she used her special ability, the ability that she had learned from Ghusto, the Wind Double ability.
When Aldamon saw that he was facing Katsuya whose back was turned against him and he saw another him, the double that Zoe's technique created. Aldamon at first was speechless until he saw the others signaling him to strike. Of course, Dark Aldamon had no idea that the one he plunged his sword into was not the real Aldamon, but merely a double.
"Please don't allow my brother to die." Zephyrmon prayed.
Aldamon however, had his own plans on how to end things. He immediately used the Winged Sword's hilt on his son's neck thereby bringing the Dark Aldamon down and dedigi-volving him back into the human, Katsuya.
"How…?" Katsuya asked when he got a clear view of who hit him, "I stabbed you…you can't be alive."
"If you did, neither would you." Aldamon replied as he dedigi-volved back into Takuya, "I got a little help from the others…especially from the one I love the most."
Katsuya and Takuya both stared at each other, both of them have bruises especially Katsuya who had a cut on his right cheek. The Winged Sword was pointing towards Katsuya's throat.
Just then, someone began clapping from high above them. Clapping as if he was enjoying the show, which he actually did…
"That was highly amusing." Chronosmon said, "I believe the victor of this match is clear…I congratulate you, Takuya Kanbara."
"Chronosmon…" Zephyrmon said.
"So that digimon is Chronosmon, huh?" Grumblemon said.
Chronosmon was someone who looked very much like Seraphimon, although there are some major differences.
Chronosmon instead of having the golden glow had a dark red glow surrounding him. His armor was of the same color. On his forehead, instead of the insignia that Seraphimon has, there was something that looked very much like a clock. He also have no wings. He was however, wearing a dark blue cape on his back.
"You disappoint me however, Katsuya." Chronosmon continued, "I was hoping that you would finish this job for the sake of your reviving the future."
"Reviving the future?" Takuya and the others mumbled.
"So that's why he wanted so bad to win."Zephyrmon said.
"What's he talking about?" Takuya asked. "What does he mean 'reviving the future?"
"I told you before, haven't I?" Replied Katsuya, "Chronosmon has the power to change and alter anything that is related to his area of expertise – time. The future…where we came from…is a very, very sad place…everything you guys have cared and continued to care about here are destroyed there, and Chronosmon is the only one who can change all that! I…I wanted to get everything back to normal…to set things right, even if it means causing trouble here…at your time."
"Well, a loss is a loss." Chronosmon said, "So, why don't you kill Katsuya and get this over with."
"Do I look like I would murder my own son?" Takuya asked.
"If you don't," Chronosmon replied, "You would not have no right along with the rest of your measly little group to fight against me and to save this world. You have to win a match to advance to the next stage, remember."
"I already won." Takuya replied, "You said it yourself, that the winner of this match is clear…you have already announced that. You can't change it."
"He's right." Kazemon said, as she along with the others move towards Takuya and Katsuya, "You have already congratulated Takuya. He doesn't have to kill anyone for us to be able to fight against you."
"Oh well," Chronosmon said, "Consider this your lucky day. But we will not fight here, not yet…find the portal and get through it. I will fight you all in the stage that I have designed to be your grave."
And with that Chronosmon vanished. When they were all certain that Chronosmon had left, everyone dedigi-volved.
"Are you two okay?" Yumi asked.
"Yeah." Takuya replied as the sword vanished and he helped Katsuya to his feet.
"I can't believe I just told everyone who we really are…" Katsuya sighed, "…and what's more, I tried to kill you guys."
"Well, we're lucky you didn't." JP said, "But you do all of us an explanation…you, Yumi, Koji and Takuya."
"Huh?" Koji asked, "Why do I have to explain it to you guys? I already did, remember?"
"Yeah…but you didn't really explain it thoroughly, did you?" Erika asked.
At this, Koji groaned.
"I think you don't need Koji and I to explain everything." Takuya said, "I don't know the whole story about these two myself, so why don't we let them do the talking?"
"You have to explain how you found out about it, mister!" Zoe said.
"There's no escape from this, is there?" Yumi asked.
"Nope. No escape." Kira said.
"Very well…" Katsuya gave in, "But first can we all get back to the house? I'm kinda sore. And I want to see how badly wounded my beautiful face is."
Everyone sweat dropped at Katsuya's last statement.
"Sorry about that." Takuya apologized with a smirk.
"Same here." Katsuya apologized as well, he too was smiling, before adding, "…dad."
To be continued…
