Chapter 10:
Death Comes To Us All (part one)
As soon as Kyle left the ballroom, she had to duck and hide in the darkest shadows of the halls, for she saw some drunken digimon running around the castle and Myotismon's henchmen who were chasing the alcoholic creatures. She was glad that the castle was so dark inside; it just made escaping from the castle a little easier for her.
Kyle had no idea where the gateway to the real world is (since Myotismon's castle is so big and all), but something inside her... those voices again; those eerie, strange mumblings in her head... they were somehow telling her where this gateway was. They were guiding her to it. Kyle didn't really need to guess or even direct herself to go in the right direction, the voices were doing it for her. She still had to hide every now and then from the henchmen though. That was something strange voices couldn't do.
Throughout the winding and twisting halls of the castle, Kyle ran into a couple drunken digimon, but they didn't care less, because -- well, they were drunk! Kyle knew she was getting close to Myotismon's room where he had the large row of bookcases; she could feel it!
Unfortunately though, when the girl turned a corner into another hallway, she stopped dead in her tracks when she heard that sensuous voice call out to her, saying, "And where are you going, my pet?"
If Kyle was glass, she just blew up into a million pieces. She slowly turned to the side to see Myotismon leaning against a door that led to a room she couldn't really see in. He looked exactly the same when he tried to seduce the poor girl to his pleasures.
Myotismon and Kyle just starred at each other silently. She knew there was no hope now, especially since the vampire was standing right by her. The girl just stood speechless with her mouth a gap, lips quivering nervously and her eyes were wide with fear. Myotismon just leaned against the doorway more, trying to relax himself and show-off his masculine body more, and enjoying seeing fear run through his wife's body.
He starred hard at Kyle again and his mouth was forming a twisted smile on his face. He was thinking about her again; thinking of ways in which to touch her and do what he wanted with her. "How come you went out of the bedroom?" Myotismon asked softly.
Kyle didn't answer. She was too afraid of Myotismon right now to say anything. She didn't know what to say; she couldn't come up with any good excuses for him.
Myotismon continued to smile at Kyle as he asked her, "Why are you in that dress again? Did you come out to look for me, my darling...?" He slowly walked up to her now. Kyle turned fully around to stare straight at the vampire. After all, she still had that dagger hidden in the back of her ribbon. As soon as he got in front of her, he wrapped his arms around her back and brought the poor girl close to his body once more. Kyle whimpered slightly, for she didn't know how to get out of this one.
Myotismon nudged his nose against Kyle's. "How about we go back to the bedroom, my darling?" He cooed, and he arched her back slightly so he could run his hand over her body again. "You didn't have to wander through the castle to look for me... I was just about to head back there for you. I wish you didn't change out of that other gown... you looked so beautiful in it..." Myotismon hugged Kyle even closer and kissed her hard on the mouth. Kyle shuddered badly but gradually gave herself to the vampire. Her body was still tired and weak, and she didn't have the strength to resist him.
As Myotismon continued to kiss his wife, his hands ran across her back; caressing it gently, but that's when his fingers touched the handle of the dagger. He quickly broke off the kiss and lightly pushed her away. She knew he felt the dagger, but now she was thinking of ways to get escape from him. Maybe she should just... run...
"What is that behind your back?" Asked Myotismon sternly, with his face looking down at her seriously and somewhat confused.
Kyle took a small step back and looked away from Myotismon. Her face was full of fear, and there were a couple beads of sweat on her forehead. She was starting to panic, and hesitant on what to do.
Myotismon began to look at Kyle angrily, "I asked you a question, my dear: what is hiding beneath that ribbon of yours?" His voice was rising in anger, and Kyle knew that she better come up with an answer.
"I... I... I..." was all that came out of her mouth.
Myotismon's face was now distorted with anger, "Just where did you plan on going with whatever is behind your back?"
The voices inside Kyle's head started to mumble and speak to her again about the gateway to the real world. Without hesitating anymore, she suddenly started to run full speed past Myotismon and down the hallway. The vampire was too stunned with shock at what just happened, that he didn't call for the guards, his servants, or anybody to stop the girl, until moments later.
Myotismon pointed a shaky finger in the direction that she ran and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Guards! GUARDS! Stop her! Stop the girl! Find the girl and bring her to me! Search the castle now!"
Kyle shrieked when she kept running and bumping into Myotismon's guards as she headed to the room with the bookcases. The guards, who were mainly Bakemon, tried to grab at her, but the girl had very quick reflexes and dodged the ghost creatures swiftly. She could hear the vampire's screams and cries of anger as she kept running.
Then, she finally made it to the room. She quickly ran inside and closed the doors and searched for the secret passage to the gateway. Kyle knew she didn't have much time to look for it, since Myotismon or the henchmen will find her pretty soon... very soon. She definitely remembers this room though: this room was also where she found that picture of herself that Myotismon kept of her.
Kyle went for the bookcase shelf on the far right and began to feel all around it. Most of the books on the shelf were dusty and very large. She guessed that Myotismon didn't like to read all that much. As she pulled out some of the old books from the shelf, she stumbled across one of the crystal spheres with the picture of one of the digidestined's digimon. "So that's where he's hidden them..." she thought.
The crystal sphere was hidden behind the books. Not a very good hiding place, but if no one was not looking for any secret passages within a bookcase, than it would of been perfect. Kyle turned the sphere in her hand and saw that the picture of Agumon was on it. She scratched her head and wondered just what your supposed to do with it.
Suddenly, she started to hear footsteps get closer to the room she was in. Kyle started to panic and she quickly put the crystal sphere in her ribbon as she began to feel around the bookcase once more to find where that hidden passage might be.
Well, Kyle didn't have to worry about it any longer, for she finally found the right book to pull out, and right in front of her eyes, half of the bookcase shifted into the secret underground passage. The gateway to the real world was down there, and she didn't have much time to go in it and find the hotel building.
Kyle shrieked loudly when she heard loud banging noises on the door. "Kyle... just what do you think you're doing!" Growled Myotismon angrily from the other side of the door, and then he began to pound even harder, "Open the door! If you come and give up quietly, than perhaps I will go easier on you for your punishment!"
Kyle looked back at the door and then the secret passage. Of course, the girl quickly started to go down into it, but unfortunately, as she was just starting to head down the stairs, the crystal sphere containing Agumon slipped from her ribbon and it bounced and rolled on over to Myotismon's desk.
Everything was the same to Kyle when she got down to the secret cave, passage, or whatever! The gateway to the real world was still open, probably because of Myotismon's army that will go in and take over Japan and the rest of the world.
There was no one in the large, dim cave with Kyle. To her, it seems that there was some luck on her side... at least until...
Suddenly, she heard Myotismon's hollering and yelling all over again, and she knew she couldn't stand there much longer, so she started running again; running into the gateway to the real world... with Myotismon and his henchmen getting close on her trail. The vampire didn't know what was tucked inside Kyle's ribbon, but somehow, he knew where she was going. He didn't want to believe that Kyle was going to slay herself; he's too proud to admit to such things... All Myotismon knew, was that he better get his wife back before his plans get delayed... and even his powers.
There was luck on Kyle's side, and still is...
"...Someway and somehow, the digidestined dudes can finish him off for good!" ...That's what the mirror image had said to Kyle, and if only the girl knew that the odd image was right: when Kyle had dropped that crystal sphere to the ground, and as I said before, it bounced and rolled on over to Myotismon's desk.
..."Don't drop them, for if you do, the digimon within them will be released!"...
Agumon came bursting out of the crystal sphere within a thin smoke around him. The little digimon blinked a couple of times and shook his head a little, like he had just come out of a sleep he never knew he had. He stayed hidden behind the desk as he heard some of the Bakemon come flying in and going down the secret passage.
"Where the heck am I?" Agumon asked himself when the Bakemon were not near him anymore, and the digimon stood up on his on legs and looked around the room.
Agumon's eyes got very wide when he saw the huge mess that Kyle had made when searching for that secret way into the underground passage, but Agumon doesn't know that it was made by her. Then, something caught the digimon's eyes: he saw a couple of crystal spheres tucked away into some of Myotismon's large books that were lying about the floor. The digimon carefully walked into the mess and grabbed the crystal from within the book. He saw a picture of Tentomon on it.
Agumon started to turn the crystal sphere in his hands slowly and began to think...
"What do you think is going on up there?" Matt wondered out loud, as the digidestined children and Eddie heard much commotion above them.
Tai tilted his head downwards and closed his eyes. "Maybe they're having a party up there or something. Either way, I really don't care..."
All the children looked at Tai with wide eyes and shocked expressions. "How can you say you don't care, Tai?" Said Matt who was sounding a bit irritated with Tai's attitude. "What if something bad is happening to Kyle? What if Myotismon is sending his army into the real world now? How can you not care about that?"
Tai rolled his eyes quickly and looked at Matt. "Look Matt, look at us right now? Do you think we can do anything about it? Myotismon won! Let's just face the facts now... and besides that, I think that creepy guy has 'won over' that freaky looking girl anyways..."
"W-what do you mean?" Asked Matt quietly.
"Well... I'm guessing you didn't hear, but the Bakemon that were guarding us a little while ago were talking about Myotismon wanting his bedroom set up for a 'special occasion' for Kyle... and I hate to explain that any further..." Tai shivered in revulsion at what he was thinking about Kyle and Myotismon.
Matt closed his eyes and slumped his body a little against the wall more. Mimi looked at Matt, than Tai and said, "Do you really think Myotismon would go that far... with such a creepy girl? I mean... Myotismon is pretty cute, but with her..."
Matt looked at Mimi angrily, "If Myotismon did do something like that, I know for sure Kyle wouldn't like it at all. She doesn't want to be with him... I've talked with her... I know her enough... I know... she wouldn't want to do something like that... with Myotismon."
"Huh?" Said Eddie as he was confused to the whole conversation with Matt, Tai and Mimi.
Sora formed a wry little smile and patted Eddie's knee, "Don't worry about it, Ed. You shouldn't really hear about this anyway..."
Eddie cocked his head slightly towards Sora, but then he looked back at the ground like all the other digidestined children were doing.
Kari, who was sitting next to Tai, looked up at him with her innocent eyes. "You know what Tai? I still believe there's hope for all of us... I still believe that in the end, everything will be fine..."
Tai frowned at his sister sarcastically, "And how do you know that?"
Kari shrugged, "I don't know... it's just... a feeling I have. You gotta have faith, right?"
All the children, except for Tai, nodded their heads slowly. Tai shrugged also, "Maybe... but if there is any faith or hope left for us, than I would like it to happen right now."
Right on cue, the digidestined's digimon came running into the dungeons. The children just sat there with their eyes all wide and mouths a gap with shock.
The digimon posed happily, "Hey guys, guess what?" Asked Agumon to the captive children. The children looked at each other and shrugged, then they looked at the digimon again with their weird expressions.
Gabumon waved Matt's crest and digivice slowly, "We're back -- of course, and we got the crests and the digivices back! Now you guys don't have to waste time going to look for them, because we found them first!"
Agumon nodded, "Besides that, it would just be another boring part of this story."
"Uh... what?" Asked Eddie, eyeing Agumon oddly.
"Anyways... " said Tai, who the rest were ignoring what Eddie or Agumon just said, "How about you guys get us out of here -- and don't try to use your attacks! This prison hold isn't that big and all... so attacking the prison door would probably accidentally kill us."
The digimon looked at each other and nodded, then they starred back at the children. "You guys don't need to worry about a thing..." said Tentomon happily, and he held up a large ring of keys, "I got the keys to the dungeon!" He handed the key s to Agumon.
Tai rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Just where in the heck are you guys getting this stuff?"
Agumon looked away, "Well... when we wandered around Myotismon's castle looking for you guys, we kept running into -- um, drunken digimon that were caring lots of things that they stole from the rooms; including the crests, digivices, and these keys!" The little digimon went up to the door of the prison cell and started to try all the keys to see which one would make it open.
Tai raised an eyebrow slightly. "So... did these 'drunken digimon' help you guys escape then?"
The digimon looked at each other oddly and then at Agumon. Agumon didn't look up from what he was doing, but he said to Tai, "I'm... not sure how we got free, but all I remember is that I was hiding behind something... oh yeah, and I heard Myotismon and the Bakemon talking about that girl -- what's her name? Kyle?"
Matt's eyes widened and he stood up from the ground to face Agumon better. "Kyle!" His voice sounding excited and worried at the same time, "What were they saying about her?"
"Um... I think that she ran away... to your human world... she escaped..."
Matt turned and faced the dungeon walls and starred at them with wide eyes. Just then, Agumon found the right key to the prison cell, for the door opened slightly when he turned the key in the keyhole. "Well... there ya go!" Said the digimon happily, and he pushed the door more for the children to come out of their prison.
All the digidestined children were so happy to see their digimon and they hugged them tightly, but... it was Matt who came out last. His eyes were still wide with shock and he didn't even bother to hug Gabumon or tell him how happy Matt was to see him. Gabumon starred at Matt awkwardly and asked, "What's wrong Matt?"
The digidestined kids and the digimon turned to look at Matt. "We... we need to go save Kyle..." he said quietly, and it almost seemed he was talking to himself. "I... I still have this horrible feeling that something really bad is going to happen..." He looked at the digidestined, "If Kyle did escape from Myotismon, then we need to go get her... I don't want that vampire to touch her ever again!"
Eddie just stood by and watched, as if he had no clue what was going on right now. Tai and the others looked at each other; he smiled and said, "Come on! We gotta save the world!" Then... they all left the dungeons to go back to the gateway to their world... and stop Myotismon... for good.
Kyle felt a cool breeze as she stood on the roof of the hotel building. Her face was expressionless, she had no care in the world about anything right now; not even herself. After hours of running, hiding, and trying to take at least minute breaks from tiresome, Kyle had finally made it to where she wanted to be. She knew she didn't have much time, since Myotismon wasn't going to be that far behind her, so Kyle started to walk slowly to what she thinks is the spot where she and Myotismon got married.
Kyle's mind was like a zombie's: nothing going on inside except wanting something, and only wanting one of something. As she kept walking, she fidgeted with her fingers until she got her wedding ring off. She dropped it to the ground and it rolled a little ways from her.
Kyle's eyes narrowed a little when she saw leaves making a small pile in a peculiar spot on the roof. Somewhere inside her, she knew this wasn't just a coincidence that the leaves had suddenly come to this spot; she knew it must be where she was wedded to Myotismon. She walked to the spot, and when she got closer, the leaves suddenly blew away in the breeze. Kyle starred out to the sky and watched the leaves disappear as she stood on that odd place.
With a shaky hand, Kyle slowly took the dagger out from behind her back and clutched it to her chest tightly. Her breathing started to deepen, her legs and body were shaking badly, and tears started to flow from her face. "Mom... Dad... Shaun... Eddie... Matt... I'm so sorry..."
Without hesitating or having a second thought of what she was doing, Kyle stretched out an arm and raised the dagger into the air.
Author's Note: Oooooooooo... a cliffhanger! Will Kyle actually sacrafice herself to stop Myotismon? Will the vampire lord stop her? Will the digidestined be able to make it to them before ANYTHING happens? I guess you'll find out in the next chapter... Anyways, I'm sorry this chapter sounds kind of lame, but this IS two parts, you know! (I bet you people are getting tired of the TWO PARTER things right about now...)
