"My God, she's dead! I can't believe she's dead!" Ken thought to himself, the tears streaming down his cheeks. He was beside himself with grief…with guilt. This was all his fault—that's how he saw it. He's the one who brought Candy there. He's the one who let her close enough to kill Crystal. He's the one who left her alone and unprotected with that woman. It was then that all the things he'd done to her really dawned on him—how horribly he'd treated her, how badly he'd hurt her.
He'd beaten her, starved her, enslaved her, and terrorized her, gotten Candy to give her those awful nightmares to torture her, only knowing that Candy had had some special abilities to do this with and unknowing as to why, though the realization of how she'd accomplished this now dawned on him as well. He'd been the cause of most of the pain she'd suffered through until the end of her days.
"It's my fault…In a way, I killed Crystal…" That's all he could think. He never once thought about Candy, who had run off and disappeared after they came for Crystal, afraid of what Ken would do after finding out that Crystal was dead and Candy had been the one to kill her without Ken's permission. He'd surely kill her, so she fled in fear.
He looked around at everyone's faces—at Crystal, lying dead in Matt's arms, Matt hugging her close and crying into her soft brown hair. He looked at Tai and Kari, Kari crying on Tai's shoulder, Tai trying the hardest he could to be strong for his little sister and the other's which wasn't working very well at all. He looked around at all the others, standing or kneeling by them, crying, trying desperately to comfort one another, which was to no avail. "What have I done…" he muttered softly, but it was unheard by everyone else, who were all too lost in their own grief to notice. Ken buried his face in his hands and wept on his knees, the sorrow almost unbearable.
"Crystal…" Matt whispered in a gentle, shaky voice, wracked with sobs and choked by tears. His mind wandered to thoughts of her back when everything was fine, her happy, smiling face haunting his every thought. Crystal's voice rang in his head, her laugh, and the very sounds of her own sobbing when she'd become upset over something. She was truly beautiful to him. How was he ever to get through this lose? He loved her so… Matt took in the sweet sent of her hair as he sobbed, which always smelled of sweet strawberries. Matt got lost in thought then, thinking about Crystal and all of the good times he'd had with her.
Suddenly, there was a soft sound, like the rustling of bushes. Everyone looked to where the sound came from. "Ken…!" Yolei yelled after the one running in that direction, but it was too late—Ken had gone—consumed by grief and obviously trying to run away from the pain. But what they didn't know is that he had another reason for running. He was determined to avenge Crystal's death—determined to find Candy and make her pay for what she did to Crystal. He just had to find her…
"How dare he just run away like that after what he did!" Tai growled, punching the trunk of a nearby tree in anger. Kari rushed over to him and put comforting arms around him, trying to calm him down. Tai took in a breath and then embraced Kari, sobbing once more. Everyone else just looked around at each other and at Crystal lying there dead in Matt's arms, unsure of what to do or say, and then looked at the spot where Ken had just been. It was beyond them how anyone could just leave after having done such a thing, even a murderer such as the one they thought Ken to be.
It felt as if their entire world had come crashing down around them and their was no way to put the shattered pieces back together. One of their own had fallen, someone they all cared for deeply, and after having been mistreated just horribly and hurt badly, killed by someone they didn't even know. But Ken did…and they all thought that he was the one behind her murder.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………...
It'd been three days since Crystal's death. The Digidestined had spent the first day weeping over the loss, the second building her a memorial, and today getting ready to bring her back to the real world. They'd spent that entire morning thinking about what they'd say to Crystal's family. What could they say to someone who has just lost someone so close to them and doesn't know why or how? What could possibly be said to comfort them in this terrible time—when, after having lost Crystal once before, they have lost her again…and this time, she won't be coming back?
Plus, what could they say so that the secret of the Digital World would still be safe? They had to think of some good excuse for her death to avoid revealing the secret. The only thing they could think of to tell them is that they ran into a bunch of thugs and she was killed. They'd work on the details more if need be, which they probably would. But, this was the best they could think of at the moment. This would probably be the hardest thing the Digidestined have ever had to do. There was no easy way to do this and they knew it—but they just had to…for Crystal…
And to make things worse, they still had no idea where Ken was. He'd been gone for quite a long time—ever since he'd run off when Crystal died. They didn't know what to make of it—had he been overcome by grief when he'd fled, after realizing just what he'd done? Was he afraid of what they'd do to him? Was he trying to run away from his own guilt, brought on by the murder? They just didn't know. He'd been so upset about it when she died and he'd shown perfectly well how much he really cared for her, and they didn't know why he wouldn't stay for her. Perhaps it was because of the love that Crystal had expressed for Matt and not him. They just couldn't be sure.
"It sure is quiet here without her…" Mimi sighed, her eyes red and swollen from crying like everyone else's. She looked over at Crystal, lying wrapped up in a blanket in front of her memorial. She'd looked as though she were merely sleeping, and it was just so surreal…the fact that, in reality, she was not sleeping…but dead—gone forever. Mimi heaved a heavy sigh, even as TK wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulders and rubbed her arm softly. There were times, within those three days, that one of them would look at her and think she was asleep, but then they went to wake her up and remembered the truth—that she wouldn't no matter how hard they tried to awaken her.
"Yeah…she really did know just how to lighten up a conversation. Just her presence filled the area with joy," Joe added to Mimi's comment, wiping an oncoming tear from his eye. He got up from his spot on the ground near a tree and walked over to where Crystal lay. "We'll all miss her, that's for sure." He bent down to touch Crystal's soft cheek, but then hesitated, unable to bring himself to touch her, to feel her icy cold skin and have the cold, cruel reality fully sink in. In fact, none of them touched her. They wrapped her up in a blanket if they needed to move her anywhere, for none of them could even bare the thought of making contact with her lifeless body.
And so, he merely sat next to her, looking over her fair features sorrowfully, thinking about how he'd never see those bright, crystal-blue eyes of hers again, and thinking about just how dull her once shinning light brown curls were now that she was gone. He sighed, thinking about the light that had surrounded her in her life, which had seemed to recede slowly and then completely disappear in her death. She looked just like an angel, which she truly was when she had been alive. How would life ever be without her now?
"Come on, we have to get her back now," Davis said as he held onto Veemon tightly, finding it very difficult to form those words, knowing that they meant that she'd truly be lost to them forever. "Veemon, guys," he said, addressing all the Digimon among them. "Go ahead and say your last goodbyes to her. You can't go to the funeral, so this is your only chance. You know you'd have to act like toys while we're there and we can't bring toys to the funeral service." He sighed then, thinking about what they were about to go through.
Davis set Veemon down then, who was crying by that time. "Go on, buddy." Then, he stood up straight and stood back from everyone else, trying to hide the weakness he was showing. He tried not to let anyone see him cry so he could be strong for them, and so he hid his sadness from everyone. Everyone else was crying. What kind of leader would he be if he became weak too, when he was supposed to be being strong for his team?
And so, the Digimon each took turns saying their goodbyes to Crystal, eventually getting to a point there they'd relayed all of the details of what happened to her and how she died while she lie there, seemingly lifeless. Including saying why they'd taken so long to come and rescue her. The Digidestined had been held captive by some of the Digimon under Ken's control, which was by Ken's orders. They'd been trapped and then held captive, unable to save Crystal. And by the time they'd finally escaped and gotten to her, it was too late.
"Crystal, I know you can't hear me," Rubymon, who was the last to go, started out, barely managing to speak over her sobs as she knelt beside Crystal's body, "but you were the best friend I've ever had. You carried with you so much light and goodness… I just couldn't help but feel great when you were around. You were my partner, Crys, my teammate…and I don't know what I'm gonna do without you… Goodbye, Crystal… I love you…and I'm gonna miss you so much…" Rubymon's words trailed off, then, and she broke down crying, tears streaming from her gleaming ruby-colored eyes. Cody picked her up and held her, holding her close. Rubymon wept on his shoulder, overcome with grief. She'd lost her best friend…one of her only friends. What would she do now?
"Come on…we should take her back now to the real world…to her family…" Izzy said softly, bringing everyone back to reality. Slowly, very slowly…they packed up everything and then made a makeshift stretcher to carry Crystal to the real world. Everyone was really quiet as they did this—not much could be said at that moment. Plus, most were too upset to do anything other than cry. "Is that everything?" Izzy finally asked everyone after they were all packed and ready to go. Everyone else nodded wordlessly, a couple of them sighing a depressed sigh and still others glancing at Crystal as she lie on the stretcher, and the Digimon stood back to watch them leave, many of whom trying desperately to hold back or to hide the tears that were in their eyes.
Quietly, Davis took out his digivice. He looked at it for a second or two, getting lost in thought momentarily. He then shook his head to bring himself back to reality, realizing he'd gotten lost within his own mind, his own thoughts. "Alright then. See you guys later. We'll be back as soon as we can…sometime after the funeral." Emitting a depressed sigh then, and wiping a tear from his eye, he turned to the portal and got ready to open it. "Digiport op—"
"Nightmare Shards!"
Before they knew what'd hit them, small explosions were sounding all around them, as odd shards of what looked as though it were glass rained down upon them. A couple screamed, some gasped, and everyone looked up to see who had caused the blast. Standing on the large branch of a tree and glaring down at them, was someone they'd hoped to never see again. "You!" Sora shouted angrily up at Candy, the one who'd murdered Crystal. "You're a Digimon!"
Candy merely laughed cruelly. "Yes, me." She then jumped down from the tree branch onto the ground in front of them, landing on her feet gracefully and perfectly. She spotted Crystal lying on the ground at everyone's feet, and smiled a bit sadistically as the Digidestined moved in close to protect her and shield her from Candy. "And yes, I'm a Digimon. The name's Candymon." At this, the woman made a mocking, incredibly theatrical bow to them, and then smirked at them maliciously. And then, the upper half of her body stayed the same, but the lower half shifted as she turned back into her true Digimon form.
Candymon? More like the sluttiest Digimon any of them had ever seen in their lives! And one of the weirdest, to be honest. From the waist up, she looked like a normal human, except very slutty. Long auburn waves of hair framing her face, a lot of makeup, lots of jewelry, red nail polish on long and sharp nails, an incredibly low-cut corset top with spaghetti straps—the works. And, oddly, she had bandages tied around her wrists and up her arms a bit loosely, hanging off of them a bit.
And from the waist down…the legs and lower-half of a spider…with bandages wrapped loosely around and hanging off of the legs! Wait! …A spider…and bandages…? Come to think of it, ya know, she did look an awful lot like and remind them an awful lot of… "Wait a second! …You're related to Arukenimon and Mummymon!"
Another cruel laugh was emitted from the Digimon as she sneered at the one who'd said that, Kari. Her eyes glinted with a kind of sadistic pleasure as she walked towards them, stopping when she was merely a couple of yards away. "Yes, dear," she said, placing a hand on her hip, "that's right. Too bad for you that I'm a bit more dangerous than Mommy and Daddy Dearest." (Me: Mommy and Daddy! (Cringes) Ugh, again, that's just wrong on so many levels!) Kari simply glared at Candy and stood her ground next to Tai, quite angry with the woman that killed Crystal. Candy chuckled again. "Hmm…I didn't really expect you to be too fond of me. What's wrong? Upset that I killed your little friend?"
"Shut up!" TK and Izzy quickly rushed to Matt and grabbed his arms to stop him from attacking Candy after that sudden outburst. Matt struggled against them, growling, furious and wanting so badly to kill her…to rip her to shreds for what she'd done to Crystal. And who could blame him? Still, though, they couldn't allow him to do it.
(Me: Damn that sucks! That woulda been so cool to watch!
LLD: Well you're the author! You can make that happen, ya know!
Me: (Looks around) …So…?)
"But why, my darling? After all, the little brat deserved it!" Deserved it? How the hell did she deserve anything that Ken and Candy ever did to her? What had Crystal ever done to deserve such torture and then finally such a horrendous death at the hands of Candy? Just how arrogant can this woman possibly get within a five-minute time period? Ok, yeah, true…this was the daughter of none other than Arukenimon and Mummymon—two of the most self-centered, egotistical Digimon in the entire Digital World—but still…!
"She didn't deserve any of the hell you all put her through and you know that, you bitch!" Matt was obviously fuming mad by then, still struggling to get out of Izzy's and TK's grasps. Izzy and TK were definitely having trouble holding onto him. He was really strong and really angry and determined to get to Crystal's killer and tear her limb from limb, which he probably would try to do if they didn't keep a hold of him.
(LLD: (Chanting) Let him go! Let him go! Let him go!
Me: Shut up, LLD!
LLD: (Sticks her tongue out at me))
Another spiteful laugh and then… "You weak, pathetic boy! Your emotions have inhibited your common sense and your judgment. Even if they did let you try, do you actually think that you can beat me? I am a powerful Ultimate, and you…you are just a frail human! You could never amount to anything compared to my power!" (Me: Gee, cocky little bitch, ain't she?)
"Power my ass!" Matt suddenly growled, breaking free from his friends' grips. Despite the cries of protest from the other Digidestined, Matt charged Candy with a yell, tackling her roughly off of her feet before she had time to react. She landed hard on the ground and then just sat there a second, in complete shock. She sure as hell hadn't been expecting to be attacked by one of these…these children! After a second, she looked up at him, glaring down at her with clenched fists. Perhaps she'd underestimated him and the others just a tad. They may very well have been more powerful that Candy had originally accounted for. This could very well prove to be a challenge, but then again…Candy had always loved a challenge.
She then got up, returning his glare. "Very good, boy, but let's see how you deal with this!" Before any of them could react, she'd dropkicked him and sent him sprawling on the ground. Everyone else tried to run to him, but one attack from Candymon's Nightmare Shards sent them all to the ground for cover. Then, while they were all distracted trying to regain their senses and detach their clothes from the ground, she pointed a finger at Matt, who was trying to recover from the fall. "You!" she got his attention with a powerful voice, "say your prayers!" And with that, she readied her attack. Cries of "no!" and "don't do it!" could be heard, but she paid them all no mind. "Nightmare—"
"Silk Thread!"
Candymon let out a scream as she was suddenly attacked, covering her face with her arms and taking a few quick steps back in surprise. Most people gasped or cried out, and everyone looked to see where it had come from. Everyone knew very well who it was, having heard and seen that attack before. The Digidestined weren't quite sure whether to be happy or angry or what about seeing them, and Candymon was terrified at the sight of him. Most of the Digidestined had their mouths open or their eyes wide in shock. Yolei cried out to them in disbelief, hardly able to comprehend the fact that he'd come back for her to try and make amends for the things he'd done, "Ken! Wormmon!"
Ken and Wormmon hurried over to where everyone else was, putting a barrier between Matt and Candymon primarily. One could've sworn that Ken was back to normal, but no. It was still the Digimon Emperor, just on the side of the other Digidestined for once—at least…for now. "We're here," Ken replied to the other Digidestined, not once taking his eyes off of Candymon. "Candy, you should've kept running from me while you had the opportunity!" He was clearly fuming mad—you could definitely see the fire blazing in Ken's eyes. It was a rare sight indeed to see him this angry, but it had finally happened thanks to Candy. It was definitely a scary sight, though, seeing him that mad at someone. Just be glad it's not you he's mad at! She should've gotten away while she had the chance to escape from him and get out of there while she could.
Now, Ken was gonna get revenge for what happened to Crystal, and for Candy making him do all of those things and doing all of those things to him—convincing him to agreeing to let Candy give Crystal those nightmares, making him belief that she loved him when she was only sent there by her mother and father to make sure Ken remained evil and didn't convert (A/N: Just go with it!), tormenting Crystal and beating her way worse than he ever did, and then finally killing her. Oh yes, Ken was out for revenge, alright. And he was determined to get it—dead-set on this victory.
"You think you frighten me, little boy?" Candy taunted him nastily, now that she'd had time to recover from everything and get her act together. She narrowed her eyes at him, the same chilling eyes as Arukenimon. "Hmm! I'm not scared of you at all!" (Me: Yeah, right! (Rolls eyes) Is that why you were running from him earlier, why you decided to get the hell outta there after he found out that you'd killed Crystal? Hmm…?)
"You should be!" Ken's voice was deadly serious. It was something that even made Wormmon shiver at the sound of—Ken's barely ever heard or even used "I'm-Gonna-Kill-You" voice. And he had the deathly and icy glare to match. He looked as though he could kill at any second, which probably wasn't that far from the truth at the moment, to tell you the truth. (Me: (Shivers) …Can you even imagine a look like that coming from him—angrier than you've ever seen him before? ...Yikes! …Ok, now that's a scary thought!)
"Oh, I'm so scared," Candymon taunted him, her sarcastic voice dripping with venom as she continued to glare at him. "Alright, enough talk! Let's get this over with… Nightmare Shard!" Suddenly, the deadly crystalline shard came rushing at Ken at incredible speed, so fast that he had no time to get out of the way and would surely be hit. That is, were it not for…
"Rosetta Stone!"
There was an explosion. Ken, who had shielded his face with his arms, looked up to find Nefertimon above him, protecting him from the attack. Quite frankly, Ken couldn't believe that they were actually protecting him after what he had done and after how angry they'd been at him before. But, he'd investigate that later—for now, he had a fight to win. "Wormmon!"
"Right!" the little caterpillar Digimon said confidently with a nod, and then leapt into action. "Wormmon digivolve to…Stingmon!" There was a bright flash of light, which engulfed the tiny Digimon. And then, just like that, standing where Wormmon had been, Stingmon now stood. "Candymon, give up while you still have a chance!"
"Ha! Never!" came Candymon's reply. And, with that, she leapt at Stingmon. Candy was definitely not one to just give up on a fight, even a hopeless one like this seemed to be for her. She was determined to win, determined to claim the victory in this battle. (Me: (Laughs) ...Kinda like me in one of my stubborn modes, huh?) The battle raged and seethed. Explosions sounded everywhere and popped up everywhere you turned, things flew in all directions, people were yelling and screaming, and wounds were being inflicted upon both sides of the battle. No one knew exactly how long it lasted, they guessed only for about a few minutes. But one thing's for certain—it quickly drew to a close as the last and most major event of the night came into play…
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Listen, Candy, why don't you just give up already so no one has to get hurt anymore?" Mimi tried coaxing the Digimon—who, to be perfectly honest, was the only one with any serious injuries around their. Everyone else had either been hit with a minor injury or had not been hit at all. Either way, Candy was loosing this battle, but was just either too stubborn or too dumb to notice it—probably a little bit of both, come to think of it. The others had reassured Ken that they'd be fine without him and that he should stay by Crystal and protect her, and so that's what he did, kneeling down next to her and shielding her from everything, even crying over her but refusing to touch her.
"Not a chance! Not while I'm so close to victory!" (Me: A little delusional, aren't we, Candy?) Candymon was pretty banged up and bloody, but still wanted to continue. She was evidently absolutely relentless in her quest. It was really irritating, but she's gotta be given credit for determination, at least. She clearly has not shortage of that! Her ego was pretty big. But ya know what they say—the bigger they are, the harder they fall on their mega-sized digi-asses!
Meanwhile, Ken was holding tightly to Crystal, wrapped in her blanket, and weeping. "Oh Crystal, I'm so sorry about all this…" he whispered softly, his words choked by his sobs. The tears blurred his vision, plus he was completely zoned out thinking about Crystal, and so Ken didn't see most of what was going on. This wasn't very good, considering what happened next. An angry cry could be heard near by. Ken gasped and turned his head quickly towards the sound, only to find Candy charging at him and Crystal, a sword in her hands. He had no time to move or defend them or react in any way. All he could do was hold her close and shut his eyes tight, awaiting their doom.
"Celestial Arrow!"
Ken couldn't believe his luck. He looked up as he heard the attack and then an anguished scream from Candy, and found a sight that left him in shock and absolutely speechless. Candy was pinned to a tree by an arrow, burning like hell because of the light of the angel Digimon's powers conquering the darkness in her heart and soul. (Me: Wow, kinda InuYasha-ish, isn't it?) She was evaporating away into nothing, and all of the Digidestined and other Digimon just stood there and stared in awe at the sight. Pretty soon, with another scream of agony, Candy had evaporated and then completely disappeared, defeated. A moment of silence passed, in which, no one spoke, but merely stared at the spot where Candy had once been in total amazement and shock. Then, all at once, they stared at once another and then started cheering and jumping around in victory, hugging each other in a congratulatory way and things like that.
While all of this was going on, Ken was staring at Crystal in complete wide-eyed shock, hardly unable to believe what he'd just discovered. It couldn't be…could it? It was impossible! Impossible! It simply was not humanly possible for something like this to actually be true! Ken had watched Crystal die himself! Hadn't he! And if he had, then how could it have actually been possible that she was…that…that…Crystal…was…?
Tai heard a rustling in the bushes near by, and looked just in time to realize what was happening. His eyes widened and he gasped in terror. "No!" he cried. "Crystal!" But it was too late—Ken had disappeared into the night…with Crystal. He scrambled to the edge of the clearing they were in, to the shrubs where they'd disappeared. But, Ken was gone…and so was Crystal. "Damn it!" Tai growled, enraged as he kicked the shrubs and then a nearby tree. (Me: Damn, Tai, what is it with you and abusing the local plant life? (Insert all my readers telling me to shut the hell up already and duct-taping my mouth shut here)) As before, Kari immediately went to him and put a hand on his arm, trying to get him to calm down. Tai looked at her for a second, tears streaming down his cheeks. After a few seconds, he buried his face in Kari's shoulder, and they held each other close.
Everyone else just stared in horrified silence at the area, unable to comprehend any of this. But in their hearts, they knew it was true. Crystal was gone… Ken had taken her to God-only-knows-where. Oh no, this was terrible! What the hell were they gonna do now? They couldn't just let her go…let him take her. They had to help her, they just had to! But how…? They didn't even know where he'd gone at all. How were they going to find her and rescue her if they didn't know where she'd been taken or which way they were headed? "Don't worry guys, we'll do something," Joe tried to assure everyone, although he looked pretty depressed himself.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………...
And so, the Digidestined all went back to the real world, looking very sad. They actually took their Digimon with them because there wasn't going to be a funeral…just yet…as well as for moral support. Back at their houses, they basically avoided their families for the rest of the night, sitting alone in their rooms thinking. Pretty much the only time they had any contact with their families for that night was when they sat down to dinner. They'd eat very slowly, or just sit there, staring at their food, or pushing it around on their plates with their silverware. And when their parents would ask them what was wrong, all they did was temporarily come out of their trance-like states and say something like "What…? Huh…? Oh…yeah… Nothing… I'm fine…" or something to that degree. And then, they'd sigh and retire to their rooms silently for the night.
"Crystal…I know you can't here me…but...I know you're out there…somewhere… So please…wherever you are…please stay safe… I love you…" Matt whispered quietly, praying near his bed. He sighed and looked over at Rubymon, who had finally cried herself to sleep at the foot of his bed. He'd taken the responsibility of keeping her safe, and had spent a good half-hour or so trying to calm her down and comfort her. She'd finally fallen asleep, and now he was about to do the same, completely exhausted and drained from being so upset, as well as everything else that'd happened.
After finishing up the prayer, he slowly climbed into bed and got all tucked in. As he lay there, about to fall asleep, he sighed one more time and stared at the full moon outside his window, and thought for a while. Then, as he finally slid into a fitful sleep, as a solitary tear rolled down his cheek and then fell from his face, his mind whispered softly, "Crystal…"
