Author's note: First of all, Henrika, I'm sorry if the first chapter was a little confusing, so I put up a new summary to make it more clear. (May take a while to get posted) And, about the "description," I haven't written many stories, so I'm still working on it. But, yes, it was VERY helpful criticism. Thanx for all of the reviews so far, everybody! I was finally able to post up this chapter.
Live or Die?
Chap. 2 The Battle Begins
Jeri walked through the city, humming to herself.
Boom!
What was that? she thought.
Boom! Boom!
She froze. Turning around, she saw a huge digimon, its laser gun pointed straight at her. She was too afraid to move.
It fired and Jeri screamed.
"Jeri!" Takato cried as he pushed her out of the way, "Guilmon, now!"
Takato slid a card through his digivice, "Digi modify! Digivolution activate!"
Guilmon digivolved twice into Wargrowlmon. Then, he attacked, but the digimon didn't even flinch.
Surprisingly, it was soon hit by a triangular attack.
"Huh?" Takato looked behind him, seeing Henry and Rapidmon.
"You didn't think I'd let you do this alone, did you?" Henry asked jokingly.
"Count us in," another voice stated.
They saw Rika with Renamon.
"Digi modify! Digivolution activate!"
Renamon digivolved twice into Taomon and joined in the fight.
As the digimon began to attack, Jeri stood to the side, I still wish that I had Leomon, even after all these years…
She observed the others fighting, and sighed.
I just wish I could help…somehow.
"Our attacks aren't working!" Takato admitted.
"Let's all attack together, then," suggested Rika.
"Let's go!" Wargrowlmon exclaimed, "Atomic Blaster!
"Rapid Fire!"
"Talisman of Light!"
All of the attacks hit the digimon at once, but he wasn't affected.
"Huh?" everyone said, confused.
Takato wondered, "What kind of digimon is this?"
Henry took out his digivice, "Its Metalimon. A robot-type digimon, ultimate level. Special attack: Sonic Laser."
"Ultimate level?"
"This is gonna be just like fighting a deva…" Rika gulped, "…or worse."
"C'mon, Rika, why are you so worried all of a sudden?" asked Henry.
She pointed to Metalimon, "That's why."
Metalimon began to transform and he had multiple weapons on his arms.
He grinned, "You digimon will now meet your demise!" he began shooting multiple shots at them, and they cried out in agony.
"What now?" Henry pondered.
"Get your shield cards!" suggested Takato.
"Digi modify!" they shouted in unison as they slid their cards through, "Shield activate!"
Shields formed around their partners.
"Let's get him!" cried Rapidmon.
They all did multiple attacks at once, and Metalimon actually stumbled.
He was very frustrated, "You're gonna pay for that! Sonic Boom!"
The ground shook tremendously, and the attack was able to break their shields. Metalimon then used his laser arms and fired.
"Laser Canon!"
They all screamed and fell to the ground in pain.
"NO!" the tamers shouted.
None on their digimon could get up. Metalimon looked down at Taomon. She was struggling to stand, I must protect Rika...I have to fight for her!
"Admit it!" Metalimon laughed, "You are no match for me!"
"Taomon, get up! You can do it!" Rika encouraged.
"I…must help…Rika," Taomon mumbled.
"So, is that what this is all about? Protecting your tamer?"
"She's…my friend."
"Friend! Ha! We'll just see about that…"
Metalimon shouted, "Laser Canon!"
Every single weapon now fired, heading straight for Rika.
"No!" shouted Taomon.
Rika looked up and gasped. She was soon hit by a crushing blow and fell.
"Rika!" Takato and Henry exclaimed.
As the dust settled, Rika lay on the concrete, motionless.
"RIKA!" Henry ran over to her.
He knelt down and held her in his arms, "Rika?...Rika, talk to me!"
She was silent.
Henry began to cry, "I didn't even get to tell her…" he spoke silently, "……She's gone."
