Digimon 3: Lost Prophecy
Part Two: Goddesses End?
"She's rebelling," Katrina said. "We have to stop her!"
"But," TK said. "We can't do anything against an ultimate! And Pagumon's too tired to fight!"
Katrina turned to Kari. "No, Kari has to fight her."
"Why Kari?" Izzy asked, running to them.
"Because," Adrian explained. "Kari's a goddess."
----------
"I can't be."
"Haven't you ever wondered why you're so close with the digimon?" Katrina said, urging her to fight.
"It has nothing to do with that," Kari argued. "It's my crest; my crest gave me these powers-"
"Your crest is also a symbol of the goddess," Adrian said. "What are you scared of, anyway?"
"This," Kari said. "I've been a goddess for almost 13 years and no one's told me?"
Katrina put her hand over Kari's hand. "Now you know how I felt."
Kari looked into Katrina's purple eyes and nodded. "Only if you help me."
Katrina smiled. "Of course." Katrina turned to the others. "You have to escape, all of you! Use your digimon and return to the Real World! If Kari and I don't make it back…" Katrina looked at the girl.
"Don't come back for us," Kari finished. "If two goddesses can't make it out, then none of us will."
Adrian bit his lip and took a step forward. "Sis…"
"I'm doing this, Adrian," Katrina said, boldly. "If Kari and I can't do this, no one can. So go, before you're hurt in the crossfire."
Adrian nodded. He turned to the other four people. "Let's go."
"You sure about this?" TK asked, hesitating. Adrian nodded.
"They can handle it themselves. We'll wait outside for you."
Katrina shook her head. "Go to the hotel. We'll see you there."
Adrian reluctantly agreed, and the five of them took off towards the exit.
"About time," LadyDevimon said. "Took them long enough to flee."
"They're not fleeing," Katrina argued. "They're dodging the battle field."
"Oh?" LadyDevimon said, surprised. "You're not going to hurt you own little digimon, are you?"
"Watch me," Katrina said, her eyes turning white. Her hand shot out towards her digimon and a golden light emitted from her wrist. The golden rope caught her digimon by surprise and pinned her arms by her side.
"You can't harm me!" the angry digimon shouted.
"Watch me," Katrina said, her eyes turning to normal. She dropped her hand and the golden band hardened around LadyDevimon. "You know better than to underestimate your master."
"You're not my master!" LadyDevimon shouted. Katrina just shook her head.
"I'm your master, partner, and friend."
LadyDevimon stopped struggling to look at Katrina.
"Now Kari!"
"Okay," Kari said, surprised by what she saw. I wonder if I can do that. "You ready Gatomon?"
"Well, I can't do this myself," Gatomon said, taking a step forward.
"Um, how do I do this?" Kari asked, awkwardly. Katrina frowned.
"You've been a goddess for almost 13 years and you don't know how to use your powers?"
"Just shut up and help me, will you?" Kari said angrily. She couldn't help it, she was scared. A breeze blew through her hair. Katrina grinned.
"There, use your rage for power. And remember, you don't always have to use the light to digivolve Gatomon."
Kari smiled. "Katrina..."
Katrina's smile vanished. "No, no 'thank you's' yet. We don't know if we'll be able to make it out alive yet."
Kari nodded and turned back to her digimon. "Let's do this." Her digimon nodded and Kari could already feel the power building up inside her.
"Gatomon digivolve to..."
A bright pink light showered the room as Gatomon transformed into her ultimate form:
"AngeWomon."
"Oh?" LadyDevimon said, struggling. "I'm not partial to blondes."
"You won't be here long enough to hate me," Angewomon said, bring her hands over her head.
"No!" Kari shouted, a light emitting from her chest. "You can't kill her!"
"It's okay," Katrina said, standing next to Kari. She, too, had a light glowing on her chest. "AngeWomon has to do what's right...and so do you."
Katrina's words hurt Kari, causing a pang in her heart. AngeWomon looked at them.
"Kari? What do I do?"
"C'mon Kari," Katrina said to the girl. "I know you've been through a lot in the last five years, but it's no time to stop. Remember the past evil you and the others have fought. Remember the courage and love you felt? The hope and friendship? Well, mix those feelings together and you get light and harmony."
Kari looked at her. "Won't you be mad if I kill LadyDevimon?"
Katrina gave her a warm smile. "I'm already mad at myself. And I know doing this is for the best."
Kari sighed and nodded. "Okay then, AngeWomon!"
AngeWomon looked at her. "Kari?"
"You can borrow some of my powers."
"Mine too," Katrina said, holding up her crest. "Get rid of this evil."
AngeWomon absorbed the powers from Kari and Katrina, then turned to LadyDevimon, grinning.
"See you in hell. Heaven's Charm!"
"I'll save you a seat!" LadyDevimon cried as she vanished in a fury of pink and lavender lights. Silence ended this battle as AngeWomon shrunk back down to Gatomon.
"Whew, that took a lot out of me."
"You did great," Katrina said, dropping to her knees. "I just wish I could control her."
"You have us now," Kari said, kneeling next to Katrina. "We'll help you train her."
Katrina smiled at her, and allowed Kari and Gatomon help her to her feet. "Well, that seemed a little easy."
"Let's go home and celebrate," Kari said, smiling. "The Digiworld is safe now."
"Y'know," Katrina said as they neared the exit. "You shouldn't jinx it."
As if on cue, the door slammed shut. Kari ran to it and pulled the knob.
It was locked.
"You jinxed it," Katrina said. Kari stopped jabbing the knob to glare at her.
"We're locked in a bad guy's castle and your telling jokes?"
"Ex-bad guy," Katrina said. Her brows furrowed together. "This building's going to collapse on us."
"Say what?" Kari said, turning from the door. "You mean, the building's going to fall down?"
"On us," Katrina said. The books on the bookshelf and the portraits started rattling as a minor shaking insued.
"This day really sucks," Kari said, walking to Katrina. "What do we do now?"
"We sit it out," Katrina said. "It's a good idea if the castle vanishes. That way this part of the Digital World becomes light again."
"What are we now, quitters?" Gatomon said angrily to them. "We can't sit here and get flattened."
"Yes we will," Katrina said as the shaking increased in velocity. She slid to the floor as the ceiling gave way, narrowly missing them.
"We are goddesess, right?" Kari said, sitting next to her. Katrina smiled at Kari and clenched her hand.
"We are immortal," Katrina whispered. With that, the castle gave a sudden jerk and the castle fell on them.
"We've been walking for hours," Yolei moaned. "And now you're telling me we can't get back home?"
"I'm trying my best, Yolei," Izzy replied, trying to be patient. He was kneeling next to the TV screen, trying to find the right gate to China.
"That's one thing I didn't miss as a statue," Hawkmon spoke up. "Yolei's whining."
"Watch it, mister," Yolei growled, rounding on him. "Or I'll pluck your feathers and serve you for dinner!"
Hawkmon took a step back, shocked.
"Can't we get along?" Sora said. "We just defeated the digimon of the century."
"I still don't like the idea of Katrina and Kari in there with a lose digimon," Adrian said, looking over the cliff at the castle. The others had managed to escape the maze of a castle and find a close screen; which was at the museum. But the only problem was it was locked, now Izzy had to find a screen close to their hotel.
"They'll be okay," Mimi said, standing next to him. "Hey, the fog's clearing up. Maybe they stopped her."
"Just in time," Matt said, joining them. "Maybe we can wait for them after all."
"Like we have a choice," Izzy said, sighing and standing up to face them. "This screen won't go to the shop. We'll have to find another screen."
"Just great!" Yolei whined. "We have to walk some more!"
"And listen to your whining!' TK teased. "Well, if Izzy can't figure it out, I guess no one else can."
"Let's go," Biyomon said. "Before night falls. Or some of Demon's remaining henchmen attack us."
Adrian looked at Gazimon and both shared a smile dispite the situation. "Okay, let's go."
"Wait," Izzy said as the screen flashed back on. "It's...working."
"Say what?" TK said, looking at him in surprised. "You just said we-"
"Look!" Mimi said, gasping. Adrian and the others spun around to look back over the cliff. The castle was shaking violently before it finally collapsed.
"Weren't Kari and Katrina in there?" Sora said, shakily. A light clicked in Adrian's brain. He ran to the edge of the cliff, trying to look for them over the edge.
"They're not here," Yolei said. "Where are they?"
"No," Adrian said, forcing back his tears. "No, she can't be-"
"We need to go back to the Real World while the gate's still open," Matt said calmly. "We're not sure how long it'll stay open."
"She can't be..." Adrian said. "She promised she'd be here..."
"You just saw a whole castle fall on her," Gazimon said, lightly.
"Gazimon!" Gabumon exclaimed. Gazimon cringed.
"Sorry."
"Katrina," Adrian said falling to his knees. "KATRINA!"
