The Digi-Slayer Chapter 23

Ken lowered himself into a fighter position as he watched the original leader of the Digi-destined advance towards him.

"Calm down Ken, we only want to talk" Tai said to the former Digimon emperor.

"Why should I? You're trying to kill my best friend, why should I trust you?" he sneered, glaring at Tai.

"Open your eye's Ken," said Matt, stepping next to Tai "Davis has become an unstoppable killing machine, he's goi-"

Ken cut Matt off before he could finish "SHUT UP" he yelled "You don't have a clue what Davis is, if anything you're the bad guys in this" he finished as he raised his arms up into a defensive position.

"We're not going to fight you Ken, but we will defend ourselves" Tai warned, dropping down into a variation of Ken's stance.

Ken just grunted in frustration and stood up from his stance "Fine" he said icily "I know when I'm outnumbered"

"Thank you Ken" Cody said, honorably bowing.

"Don't thank me," Ken snapped, "I want nothing to do with you people"

"Ken please" Sora pleaded, "We want what's best for all of us, Davis included"

"Then why not just leaving him alone?" Ken said coldly.

Everyone was silent as they thought about the concept, why they didn't think of it before was a complete mystery. Ken watched as the Digi- destined mused over the new idea, he found it laughable that they had never thought of just leaving Davis be, he almost broke out in laughter if it wasn't for his self-control.

"I'm afraid we can't do that Ken" Said Tai, breaking the silence.

"And why not?" Asked Ken, anger rising inside of him.

"The dark power he possesses, it will eventually consume him, it's just too dangerous" Replied Tai.

"How can you be so sure, Davis' will is the strongest one I know, and with Zade helping him, it won't be a problem" Countered Ken, reaching into his pocket and fingering his D3, just incase he needs to make a quick exit.

"What if Zade is the true enemy?" asked Tai, regaining his calm composure.

"What?" Ken was taken back by the question.

"Think about it, she's the one who found Davis the same day his powers awakened, she's the one who made him leave his family and friends, she's the one that has been training him and increasing his powers, what if this all just a front to turn Davis into a monster?"

Ken didn't answer, he stood petrified as he thought about the question Tai had asked him, his first impression was to believe Tai was just making up lies to catch him off guard, but the more he thought about it, the more he doubted the intentions of Zade, she never did discuss her reasons for taking Davis in, or her past for that matter. He didn't have much time to think as a incredible dull pain hit the back of his neck, he fell to his knees, and everything went black, the last thing he saw was Wormmon get hit by a orange fireball.

"Sorry Ken" Tai said as he kneeled over the unconscious body of Ken and rummaged around his coat for his personal emailer (A/N – I have no idea what they really call it, so I'll go with my name for it) and began writing messages to Michael, Katherine and Zade.

It took about half an hour for the unsuspecting trio to arrive at the park, following Ken's email to meet them at the park with their digimon"

"Ken" Michael called out "Where are you?"

"What was so important you had to call us here?" Katherine said.

"I've a bad feeling about this" Zade whispered to Wolfmon and he nodded in agreement.

"Ken" Michael called out once again, this time noticing a slight rustle in the bushes in the corner of his eye.

"Alright" Katherine said, facing the rustling bush "Come out here Ken, this isn't funny"

"You're right," said the voice of the emerging figure from the bushes "This isn't funny"

"Tai?" Katherine exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"

"Long time no see Katherine" Said Tai, his face emotionless "It would have been nice to see you on different terms, but the fate of the worlds are at stake"

"I whole heartedly agree" Zade said, standing next to the recently Digi- volved Jagerwolfmon.

"You do have a choice" Said the emerging Matt "You can surrender, we just want to cure Davis"

"Davis doesn't need a cure" Sneered Zade as she watched the other Digi- destined emerge from the surrounding foliage "He just needs to get away from people like you, you know, murderers"

"We don't want to kill Davis" Kari yelled, "We can get those spirits out of him, we just need his co-operation"

"That's the last thing you should be asking for, you little bitch" Zade spat, "Or do I need to beat the point into you like before"

"You bitch," growled Tai "I was hoping I could get a chance to get revenge for my sister".

"GO METALGARURUMON, WARGREYMON" Matt and Tai yelled in unison.

From the massive forest of trees behind the Digi-destined leapt the two called upon digimon. Both launched their attacks at Seadramon and Kiwimon, propelling them into their partners and knocking them unconscious, leaving Zade and Jagerwolfmon alone.

"Give up" Said Tai, balancing his Digi-vice between his fingers "You can't take out 2 mega digimon by yourself".

"I wouldn't be so sure," laughed Zade as she placed a hand down her shirt and pulled on the white string to bring out...

"A CREST?" Yelled Tai, this brought a new aspect into the fight and it scared the shit out of him "HOW IN HELL DID YOU OBTAIN A CREST?"

"You idiot" she said, clasping the golden tag in her hand "There are hundreds of crests over the Digi-world, each is an aspect of life, good or evil, and it reflects the personality of the bearer"

"So yours is?" asked a scared Matt.

"The crest of Despair" Stated Zade, relishing in the fear of the two human attackers "Now, let me show you the true meaning of despair" And with that she raised her crest high above her as it resonated with a dark light.

"Jagerwolfmon Digi-volve to..........Lycanthromon"

Where Jagerwolfmon once stood, now in its place was what looked like a Massive black wolf standing on its hind legs. It was armored in brilliantly shining silver leg, arm and chest plates; on the chest plate it bore the crest of despair with it radiating a soft glow of purple. A silver mask, much like Metalgreymon's, but with no horn, concealed its face. In its hands it grasped a halberd, decorated with glowing red runes.

As soon as the glow of Digi-volving faded away, Lycanthromon launched itself at the unsuspecting Wargreymon and swung its halberd.

"Guhgnir Slam" Lycanthromon yelled as he smacked the massive armored dinosaur with the flat of the blade, sending him towards the ground. Still in the air, it turned towards Metalgarurumon and began another attack. "Spirit Shatter" He yelled as a beam of black energy launched from the crest on it's stomach hit the armored dog digimon and pulled out a blue energy shaped like the attacked Digimon, only to burst into a million rays of light, and for Metalgarurumon to collapse, barely holding onto consciousness.

"We can't beat her separately Matt" Whispered Tai to his friend.

"You mean?" asked Matt, quite sure what Tai had planned.

"Exactly" Tai answered holding his Digi-vice in the direction of the fallen Wargreymon.

As Matt did the same with his partner, the two fallen digimon melted into two balls of glowing light, only to merge into each other and reform it self as the massive guardian known as Omnimon.

With a single strike of its blade, Omnimon was able to shatter the halberd Lycanthromon was blocking with, and with a single blast from it's cannon, it managed to fling the severely hurt Lycanthromon into it's human counter- part.

"Well" Said Tai as he looked down upon the three unconscious fighters and their rookie level digimon "Now all we need is Davis"
