The Digi-Slayer

Chapter 33

"I may have a solution" As Zade's ears heard these words from an unfamiliar voice, see turned her gaze from the unconscious Davis and focused on the shadows as the door creaked open.

As the person stepped out from the dark cloak, she saw a young man, dressed in light brown robes that covered his thin, yet muscular body and Zade would have presumed he was tall, but now he was bending over slightly, a bloody right hand gripping a red circle of blood on his left side, the circle growing slowly bigger. Zade leapt up from her chair and grabbed the man before he tripped, and leading him towards where she sat before, gently guided his body into the comfy furniture.

"Are you okay?" She asked, usually she couldn't give a damn about people, but with information on how to save Davis, she would do anything for him.

"I'll be alright" The man grunted, and pulled his hand away to reveal a deep gash in his side, blood trickling out "That bloody dragon took a chunk of me as I tried to reach a port, destroyed my entire house and gardens"

"Dragon? Port? Did you come from the digi-world?" Zade asked as she brought a damp cloth and a chair for herself near the man. Tossing the cloth to the stranger she set herself down on the chair and watched as he placed the cloth on his wound, wincing from the pain.

"Indeed I did" The man answered, smiling slightly "My name is Gennai, and I've helped out the digital world more than once in my time, but now, I've only the Digi-destined to help, my days of saving the world are over"

"You mean you HELP those bastards" Yelled an enraged Zade as she leaped off her chair and gripped the dark brown rims of the man's robes "They are the ones who put Davis in this state".

"Calm yourself child" Gennai said as with an unforeseen power, easily pried Zade's clenched hands off his garment "I am an agent for the digital world, I do not judged those who are chosen, it is my job to help them fulfill their destinies"

Suddenly, their was a knock on the door. Zade and Gennai looked as a blue-headed boy opened the door and looked in cautiously, with a small wolf doing the same at knee height.

"Wolfmon, Ken" Zade acknowledged, staring at the two

"Sorry to barge on in" Ken apologized, Wolfmon instantly ran to Zade's side and stared at the man she was talking to "But Wolfmon called me over when he heard voices other than yours"

"It's okay Wolfmon" Zade said as she stroked the hair on her partner's head "This is a friend, one who can help Davis regain consciousness

"Really" Ken said, astonished "You can help him Gennai"

"Indeed I can chosen" he smiled, but winced as he withdrew the cloth Zade gave him.

"Oh, you're hurt" Ken pointed out "I'll go get a nurse"

"No need chosen" Said Gennai, using his other hand, he fished out a small bottle from one of the pockets in his robes.

Flicking off the cork with his thumb, Gennai's nose crinkled in disgust as he smelt the liquid, but downed the contents inside anyway, and if magical, the weeping wound seem to be healing, though at a slow rate, but healing none the less.

"What's that?" Ken asked, astonished once more at Gennai "You drank it, and your healing"

"A special concoction chosen" Gennai answered, leaning back into the cushioned chair "One that took me decades to create, it stimulates the regenerative cells in the body, but leaves you exhausted"

"So you will use that to help Davis?" Zade asked, almost pleadingly

"I'm sorry child, but a potion will not heal this one's injuries" Gennai sighed as he watched Zade's face relax into sadness "No, it will take a greater force to heal the spiritual damage of this particular chosen"

"Spiritual damage?" Ken asked, he had seen many things on his adventures, but heard of nothing like this, it seemed so fitting for a cartoon, but this was real.

"Yes child, but, maybe words cannot explain well enough" Said Gennai as he pulled out a thin, black C.D from his pocket.

Placing the disc on a nearby table, Gennai placed an open hand over the device, and almost instantly, millions of lights erupted from the small device. The lights danced around, but when Gennai tapped the disc once, the lights started intertwining and flashed different colors, seconds passed, and the lights formed an image of Davis.

"Amazing" Ken said.

"This is Davis as we know now" Gennai stated, looking at the small figure of Davis above the disc.

Seconds passed, and the Davis hologram turned into a silhouette of the fighter.

"And this is our spiritual energy all organisms posses, ki, chakra, call it what you will, it is still a form of energy"

As Gennai continued, blue lights traveled in channels all over Davis' body.

"Now, most humans use this energy for simple usage, movement, thinking, etcetera"

The silhouette of Davis started to walk, jump, and other random movements.

"And when a human dies, this energy evacuates the body and joins the cosmos"

The hologram Davis laid down as the blue lights faded away, only to return and Davis to stand perfectly still once again.

"Now, humans have limitations on how much energy they can have, but there are certain anomalies, like Davis, to allow a massive amount of energy to be stored in the body, and this energy is crystallized"

The Davis silhouette enlarged, leaving only the torso, and in the torso emerged a light-blue, revolving crystal, the torso disappeared, leaving only the crystal

"Even though Davis is an anomaly, something seen so few every millennia or so, Davis is further special because his reserve energy is not only one of the strongest ever seen in history, but has been boosted to unheard of levels by three of the four spirits"

The crystal now had a three red beams of energy circling it like electrons on a nucleus, the beams got closer and closer to the crystal before shooting into it, making it grow larger and turning it's color to a deep red.

"Now in Davis' normal body" Gennai continued, the silhouette of Davis with the energy and the now red crystal returning to the projection "The crystallized energy remains dormant, and his normal energy flows freely, but as he trained, he learned how to harness this energy and direct it to his will, allowing him to perform unnatural feats, but what puzzles me is how he learnt to control his energy"

"That would be because of me" Said a new voice, but it was like Zade said the same thing in perfect timing with the new voice.

Gennai looked as Zade's hair started to billow, even though their was no breeze, and as her amethyst eye's darkened to blood red.

"The forth I presume" Gennai said slowly, looking at Zade.

"Correct guardian" Zade answered "But I do not wish to fight now, nor do I ever"

"I don't care what your intentions are, GET OUT OF MY ZADE" Wolfmon shouted, the hair on his back raised in anger.

"Be at ease pup, I will return your partner to you soon, I just want to explain" The two voices said at once, a tinge of sorrow caught Gennai's ears "I asked Zade for her to share her body with me, and for allowing me to do so, I shared my powers with her and taught her how to control what little abilities I have, super strength and others"

The room was silent as Zade and the spirit continued.

"I gave her the knowledge for energy harnessing, as well as agreeing for her to take charge, for all I want in this dismal existence I have is freedom from this plane and peace at last"

"Then why not transcend?" Gennai asked "You surely have the power to do so"

"That I do guardian" Answered the spirit "It is the bond I have between my brothers that ties me to this world, I want freedom, they want revenge, so they will stay and destroy all, their impossible quest shall never end and I am helpless before them, my only hope was Davis' strength to destroy them and finally allow me to transcend, that is all, I must now leave before my strength dissipates" And with that, Zade's hair dropped down and her eye's returned to normal.

"What?" she asked as everyone was staring at her

"Tis nothing, chosen, shall I continue?" Gennai asked.

"Please do" Ken said.

"Alright, we now know that Davis has a torrent of energy held at bay, but because it his will that holds this power intact, when exposed to extreme pressure, heightened emotions and otherwise, the bonds holding the power slacken, allowing the energy to fracture the crystal in a attempt to break free"

The crystal in Davis' silhouette stopped rotating, and began to crack, some red energy oozed out and joined the energy streams, widening them slightly.

"Now when the other chosen confronted Davis and encased him in that bubble of energy, tremendous strain was put on Davis. From what I told them, the other chosen tried to forcefully remove the crystal, and the spirits within, but the bonds that held the power were severed, allow all of the energy to be released at once.

The intact crystal once again stopped rotating, but instead of cracking slightly, the entire thing shattered into tiny shards, the red energy inside, now a spinning red ball, exploded in a blinding flash of light. The red and blue energy that coursed evenly through Davis' channels expanded, covering his entire body, and exploded once again. As the blinding white light cleared, there stood a miniature version of the Digi-slayer/Davis, sword in hand, and wings unfurled.

"This is the result of that energy unleashed" Stated Gennai, looking at the evil figurine, until it faded and the disc once again showed the silhouette of Davis.

"Because Davis was able to fight off the Digi-Slayer, he removed the red energy, allowing him to return to normal, except for one thing.

The red energy in Davis' energy channels disappeared, shrinking the veins.

"Even though Davis now no longer has that energy, he is free, but because he used a tremendous amount of energy fighting the Digi-Slayer internally, not to mention mixing his energy by tapping into the power of the digi-vices, his energy has frayed, almost as it someone has ripped fragments off with a blade.

Parts of the blue energy channeling through Davis now faded, leaving holes and gashes over the energy streams. The silhouette now came to look like Davis, except this Davis staggered, and finally fell over, until he vanished, and the black disc stopped spinning.

"So now what?" Ken asked after a long silence.

"And now" Gennai started, smiling a bit "We going to give Davis all the power he can handle, where taking him to the one place where there is an energy source is so large, it's destruction will take a substantial chunk out of the cosmos "

Gennai raised off his chair, ripped off all the plugs and needles in Davis' body and held him in his arms.

"We are going to the very heart of the digi-world"
