The Digi-Slayer

Chapter 34

"The...The core of the Digi-world?" Zade asked, baffled of what lies at the center of the digital planet.

"Indeed child" Gennai replied, making his way towards the door "And now I must do something that you shall not like"

Zade was confused as they walked down the halls until they came to the lobby of the hospital. There, Zade saw the rest of the Digi-destined, their team and hers, digimon and human. For a second, Zade liked the sight, no fighting, no anger, just a calm, if not uneasy, silence, but then she saw Davis in Gennai's arms, beaten and bruised and the old vengeance returned. She now realized what Gennai had been talking about.

"Here me Digi-destined" Gennai yelled, getting the attention of everyone in the room "I require your help once, again, we must put differences aside and work together"

"Gennai" Matt exclaimed, rushing over to their old friend "We thought the Digi-Slayer got to you"

"It almost did chosen" Replied Gennai

"So what's going on?" Kari asked, her eyes on Davis "And why do you have Davis with you, he's here so he heal"

"Nah chosen" Gennai sighed "The wounds Davis has sustained cannot be healed here, but there is no time, we must leave"

"To where?" Katherine asked, joining Zade, Ken and Michael and their digimon beside Gennai.

"You shall see, all of you" Gennai replied "But now we must make haste" and with that, Gennai and the others walked out of the hospital.

"Um Gennai?" Izzy started

"Yes, Chosen?" Gennai replied

"How exactly are we getting to the digital world? I mean, that dragon must have destroyed almost everything"

"You are right child" Gennai answered "You remember how Davis got you out, through a portal he created, well he did that by joining with the energy of the world, the world granted him safe passage to this world. He had stumbled upon what my brethren and I took centuries to obtain"

Without saying another word, Gennai lay Davis down, and moved his hand through the air, but as his fingers brushed the invisible force, a portal slice similar to Davis' formed, opening up and revealing a window into the Digital world.

The land in the new world was horrible as the destined walked through. The earth was brown and barren, once mighty trees now were mere sticks and the smell of death and carnage filled their senses, reducing some to vomiting.

"I know chosen" Gennai said, the only dry eyes were Davis' "What this monster has done is unforgivable, with your help, we can destroy him and return this world to what it once was"

"Not without me your not" A voice said behind the group.

As they turned, they saw Tai running through the portal before it healed itself and closed up.

"Tai" Kari exclaimed happily, when her big brother was around, nothing could go wrong.

Tai stared at the group, enemies and friends alike now unified into a formidable force.

"Listen well chosen" Gennai said, walking over to the original leader "The time for petty differences is over, you must become one if we are to succeed"

"I understand" Tai stated, looking over to Zade "What we have done has caused havoc across this world, I take full responsibility and will stop at nothing to rectify my mistakes"

"Spoken like a true leader chosen" Gennai smiled "Time and time again, you and your friends have prevailed over the darkness, now the era of the final battle has begun"

"Then let it come" Tai replied

The new group made their way across the land, ever weary that a giant dragon may be upon them any second. Gennai took them up a small hill, their they walk to a cliff face where they saw....

"Holy gods" Exclaimed Matt

In the horizon was a massive, pitch black tower. They Digi-destined stared in awe as they watched. The tower sprouted thousands of spines, as if it was the stem on a rose.

"Yes" Gennai stated, shifting Davis in his arms a bit "This is where the Digi-Slayer is, he has proclaimed this world for his own, and is further planning to shred this universe into nothingness, we have only one chance, and that is to make our way into the core of this world"

"But how?" Izzy asked "Shouldn't the core be several miles under where we stand"

A smile came upon Gennai's face "Simple chosen, like a program, a portion of this world I can compress, making what would seem an eternity to walk be a few minutes"

"Great, we're walking into WinZip" Joe grumbled

"Something like that" Gennai answered.

The group made there way down the hill and walked a few minutes more, until they came across a small cave.

"Here the data compression begins, we must make haste, lest the dragon notes our presence"

As they entered the small cave, Gennai said a few weird words, and the darkness at the back of the cave lifted, unveiling a rather large tunnel, easily able to fit a Whamon. Strangely, the tunnel was well lit, being several miles from there starting point. They walked in silence, nothing said would do anything anyway. Kari and Zade walked beside Gennai and Davis, making sure they kept safe. Suddenly, the earth began to shake, rocks loosened and fell, barely missing a few of the children.

"Oh dear god" Katherine said as a pair of clawed hands dug through the sides of the tunnel.

"Everyone, MOVE NOW" Yelled Gennai, handing Davis over to Kari and Zade "TAI, MATT, MERGE YOUR PARTNERS"

"But that did nothing last time" Tai yelled in desperation, he could see the claws dig further in, slowly allow the massive body of their enemy entrance.

"They will have my help" Gennai said, he turned to Kari and Zade who had an arm of Davis each over their shoulders "GO QUICKLY, WE SHALL MEET YOU LATER"

Led by the two female fighters, the rest of the group reluctantly left Tai, Matt and Gennai to face the massive dragon alone.

"Omnimon" Yelled the newly transformed digimon

Gennai held a small orb of energy and pushed it into the left leg of Omnimon. As he did, the giant fighter of light radiated with awesome power.

"Greetings Digimon" The Digi-Slayer chuckled as he finally broke his way into the massive tunnel.

"The spirit of this world flows through me, it courses through my veins" Omnimon threatened, his sword drawn and his blaster fully charged "You shall not pass"

"Just try and stop me" Laughed the black dragon as he lunged himself at the giant digimon, only to be blown back by the positron cannon.

"Ugh, maybe I underestimated you" The dragon said as he got up, he was slightly burned, the smell of charred dragon flesh filled the air "But you shall not get the chance again"

Retracting his weapons, Omnimon grabbed the fallen dragon's tail, pulled it with all his strength, and as the dragon flew near him, slammed his right fist into the dragon's skull. Not giving the dragon a chance to recover, the large warrior picked up the dragon by the throat and held him up.

"You shall not succeed" Growled Omnimon.

"Think again" Smiled the Digi-slayer, his tail flicked Omnimon's face, making him flinch, and allowing the dragon to get a chance to break fee of the grasp. The black monster tackled the warrior, pinning him down with his knees on his chest, and proceeded to viciously claw at Omnimon's body.

Omnimon's screams echoed throughout the tunnel, the savage cry forced some of the children to their knees, trying to block out the horrible noise, but Kari and Zade did not stop, they ran faster and faster, leg muscles burning until finally they came to a clearing.

This new ground was huge, an entire city could fit in this space. At the very center of this clearing was a huge pool of what seemed to be a soft light radiating blue. Both girls felt somewhat restored as they bathed in the light it radiated, they both looked at Davis and saw his eyelids twitch, this must be what Gennai meant, as long as Davis is in the light, he will awake.

Unfortunately, the quite peace they obtained was disturbed by a great tremor. The fight between giants reverberated through the tunnel, causing their only exit to collapse. But this was the least of there problems, as they watched the tunnel break apart, severing them from the others, a large boulder in the ceiling shook loose, falling right above the trio. As the boulder fell, the two girls jumped out of the way, but since they were so near the pool of energy, they lost their footing on the curved edge and fell into the pool.
