Chapter 9-part 3
Gavin was struggling
get off the floor. He had three cuts on his stomach, each parallel to
each other. He also had a cut on each forearm, a cut just below his
right eye, and two cuts on his left knee. To lessen the pain on his
face, he kept his right eye closed. He managed to get in a squatting
position before he heard a whooshing noise. Gavin turned to see a
two-legged figure walking towards him. The figure was a humanoid
dinosaur, three digits at the end of each limb, scales covering him
head to toe, but a human-like stance. The scales glowed an eerie
gray. He also had a bastard sword, sheathed on his left thigh. "What
the-!""You do not need to
worry, yet," The creature said. "But the moment you make the move
to attack, you and your friends are fair game."
"How-,"
"I know everything
that goes on in this house. Every step you take, every item you look
at, every bite you eat in this house, I see."
"Yeah, well, when my
friends come here, you'll be gone."
"Oh, on the
contrary," At this point he pulled out his sword "for it will be
you that will die." At that moment, Gavin's friend barged into
the room. "Right on cue." He picked up Gavin and faced him, sword
at his throat. "Everyday, you meddle in my master's dream. He
wants what you could only dream of. Seeing you do these things have
left me no choice. The digi-destined will be exterminated, and my
master shall reign supreme, and all who oppose will meet the same
fate."
The creature tossed
Gavin back to the group and stood there, maniacally laughing. The
laugh was as darker than anything they've heard. It was almost as
if he was completely evil.
"Gavin, you okay,"
Meramon asked.
"I'm can fight, if
that's what you want to know."
"Good," Luci said.
"Cause this fight's gonna be a long one."
Both of them
transformed to fight this new digimon, and in place of the two pairs
of partners were a warrior. Gavin unsheathed his sword and faced
their opponent, rage conquering his fear.
"Make your move,"
The creature said to them. He was not in any fighting stance.
Instead, his sword went down parallel to his leg.
They lunged for him,
each ready to attack. The digimon simply stepped to the side and
dodged both the attacks easily. Gavin jumped above him, sword over
his head. His opponent saw this, swept his right leg around, and
slammed a kick to the stomach launching Gavin into the wall. He
couldn't get up after that hit. He split back to his regular form
with him knocked out and Meramon dazed but unharmed. Luci came in
with her "Emerald darkness" attack, but where she reappeared she
was cut up her arm and leg. A trail of blood painted the sky as she
fell to the ground, turning back to a human. She showed the same
injuries she obtained a few moments ago.
With their partners out
of commission, Meramon and Cerberumon attack with great ferocity. But
all the attacks were either dodged or counter-attacked. In a few
minutes, the two digimon were nearly drained of all energy to fight.
"These are the great
digi-destined that are supposed to protect this world. You inferior
beings are nothing more the a buzzing fly to me. And in the end, all
pests are exterminated, one way or another." He transferred the
sword to his left hand and ran up to the panting digimon, ready to
slice them to pieces. But something resonated in his mind as he ran
up. 'NO!' the voice screamed. He stopped, then chuckled. "No,
huh," He said aloud. "Then I'll start with the humans first."
He walked over to the group, the other digimon ready to fight, and
raised his hand. A shockwave was launched out, sending the digimon
flying away. He stepped to Karina, sword to her throat. "You know
what they say," He said in her ear. "Women and children first."
"I'm not afraid."
"Are you sure about
that?"
"Yes, cause I know
that in the end, the light will prevail."
After this, her crystal
glowed as a white aura surrounded her. Lightscythemon, who was
regaining herself from the shockwave, glowed in the same way.
Lightscythemon disappeared into a small white ball, colliding with
Karina. This filled the room with the white light. When the light
dimmed, a sickle-bearing ninja was in Karina's place. The warrior
was wearing tight white cloth all up her body, covering everything
except a new pair of white eyes and a few locks of platinum hair.
Instead of a scythe, she used a sickle as her weapon, a star glowing
on the handle.
"This changes
nothing," her opponent said to her.
"No," She said. "It
changes everything."
She went on the
offensive slashing upwards at a slight angle. Her opponent easily
blocked them with one hand on his sword. Karina jumped back. "What
are you?"
"You can call me,"
He paused for what seemed to be an eternity. "Beastmon"
"Well, then,"
Karina started. "I don't know what in your heart, but I can sure
as heck pull it out. In fact, you seem familiar."
"Well that's funny,
cause I don't know you."
"We'll see 'bout
that." She brought her pose so that her arms and legs could make a
star formation. "STAR BEAM!"
In a flash, a star
replace her figure, shooting a white light straight towards Beastmon
in the shape of a star. It hit him dead on, but was unfazed. He
simply chuckled and said "That's your big attack? I've seen
stronger attacks from an in-training-"
his sword slipped from
his hand, the long blade clanging on the floor. His eyes were wide
with pain. He screamed, holding his head like something was quickly
coming over him. As his scene was taking place, dark arcs of
electricity escaped from his body, but re-entered as white arcs. This
process quickened until a small explosion happened, sending smoke
into the air.
When it cleared they
where all shocked at what they saw. In place on a horrid monster was
Grady, on his knees and crying into his hands. Gavin came to and saw
his friend sobbing and the creature gone. He tried to get up off the
floor, But Grady heard his grunts and turned to him. Gavin got a good
look at his face: bloodshot eyes, red face, and a quivering lip.
Grady ran over to help him up, still sobbing a little. Karina grabbed
Luci, still lying on the ground from her injuries.
"Let's go," She
simply said, with no one saying a word.
Grady took one last
glimpse at the house, the same house that caused him and his friends
so much pain. Night had fallen outside, and the team was just a few
hundred feet the house. He took a look at the rest of the team, all
sleeping.
'Are you sure you
want to do this?' He heard a familiar voice in his head.
'Yes, I must do this,
Thunderscythemon. Without anyone else.
'Very well, I will
not try to stop you, not that I could anyway.'
Grady shedded a few
tears before whispering, "I'm sorry." Afterwards, he
disappeared into the night.
