CHAPTER TWO: NE'ER THE SISTERS SHALL MEET
Renamon stared with her eyes widened. The edge of the Katana blade was slowly coming towards her heart. Closer…and closer the blade came but to the attacker's surprise, the sword never sliced Renamon because at the last minute the yellow and white vixen quickly flipped backwards and avoided the attack.
This made the other Renamon, who was the attacker, very annoyed.
"Humph! It seems that I have underestimated you intruder," growled the other Renamon angrily.
"Who are you?" Renamon snarled herself, "why are you attacking me?"
"I'm attacking you because you are trespasser upon the home of my master and you must be destroyed," the other Renamon sneered as she raised her Katana sword once more.
The Renamon then slashed at Renamon again and just as before, Renamon swiftly dodged the assault.
"Wait hold on a second here. Why don't you hear me out first?" Renamon said reasonably avoiding another slash of the other Renamon's sword.
The Renamon growled. "Why should I?" she said glowering threateningly.
"Because I'm not what you think I am," Renamon said, "I am not an intruder."
"Liar! You're here to steal something from my master I just know it," the Renamon growled as she spun and slashed at Renamon. This time as she saw the assault coming, Renamon quickly ducked. This caused the Renamon to slash one of the ancient monuments, which crumbled to pieces on the ground.
"Aargh You vice monster. Look what you made me do;" the Renamon growled, "you made me slash one of my master's precious monuments. Now you are truly going to feel my wrath."
"Urgh! For one thing miss, I wouldn't go blaming all of this on me because it was your own carelessness that caused you break the monument," Renamon said, "and another thing, didn't this master of yours ever teach you not to play with sharp objects."
"As a matter of fact, he didn't," the Renamon answered, "he taught me the exact opposite. He taught me to use any sharp object I wish as long as I use it for path of good, which I'm doing now. I'm defending myself and the possessions of my master against you."
"For the last time, I am not an intruder!" Renamon shouted.
"Grrrr! ENOUGH WITH YOUR LIES!" screamed the Renamon as she charged at Renamon.
The Renamon slashed at Renamon for the umpteenth time and this time she came at her with full force. Renamon tried to evade this assault but it was too fast for her. Renamon barely dodged the slash and by the time she had moved away, the other Renamon seized this opportunity to attack Renamon again. The Renamon side-kicked Renamon which sent the golden vixen flying into the nearest wall.
Renamon lay on the ground, clutching her agonizing chest after such a powerful physical attack. The Renamon watched Renamon without a trace of mercy in her amethyst eyes.
"See, just like I told you intruder," the Renamon said, "I will defend my master's home and myself from you for I was trained in the arts of the Samari: an art that you can even compare yourself to."
"Oh really," Renamon said, "well let me advise you about something miss…you weren't the only Renamon in this room who was trained in the arts of the Samari."
Renamon slowly got to her feet where she looked up at the other Renamon, who stared at her weirdly. Renamon then cracked her knuckles and the next thing the other Renamon knew, Renamon grabbed the nearest weapon which was closest to her (which was Wakizashi sword) and held it infront of her, ready for battle. This made the other Renamon's eyes widened in amazement.
"What? I can't believe it. You know the arts of the Samari?" the Renamon uttered.
"Yes I do," Renamon answered her hands still gripped over the handle of her Wakizashi sword.
"I'm surprised," the Renomon said, "but not frightened. Since you were trained in the arts of the Samari, let me see what you got."
"Bring it on!" Renamon replied boldly.
Both two Renamons immediately got into their battle stances, either raising their swords high. Neither of them dared to make the first move; they each wanted the other to make it instead. For a while, neither Renamon moved an inch but in the end, instincts kicked in and it was the other Renamon who moved first.
"Taste this!" the Renamon screamed charging forwards at Renamon and slashing at her.
Renamon evaded this physical assault. "Ha! I don't think so," Renamon said smirking.
The other Renamon growled at this. It was now Renamon's turn to attack. Stepping forwards, Renamon slashed at the other Renamon. But unfortunately for Renamon, the other Renamon swiftly dodged her attack. Renamon then decided to try a different strategy.
Taking another step forwards, Renamon leapt into the air. The yellow fox then swiftly bounced off the lounge wall and flipping in midair, Renamon generated a huge black ball which engulfed the blade of her sword.
"Yang Sutoraki!" Renamon shouted as she launched her attack at the other Renamon.
One blazing ball of black flames flew directly at the other Renamon. But unluckily for Renamon, the other Renamon was prepared for this assault. Holding up her Katana blade, the other Renamon did something which Renamon never expected. As Renamon's attack came soaring at her, the other Renamon caught the attack with her Katana sword. Renamon goggled at this in bewilderment.
"Oh no," Renamon mumbled.
"Oh yes," said the other Renamon, "here's a taste of your own medicine coming straight back at ya."
Without warning, the other Renamon released the black fire ball and sent the assault straight back at Renamon. Renamon watched wide-eyed as her attack was sent straight back at her. However, that did not prevent Renamon from quickly dodging the attack. In her eye's view, Renamon watched the whole attack coming in slow motion which allowed her to easily bend her spine backwards (matrix style) and watch the blazing black inferno soar over her head.
After that, Renamon stood up fully again and watched the other Renamon with a sneer. This, of course, caused the other Renamon to fume in rage.
"Wow, you're a better opponent that I thought you were," the Renamon said.
"The same thing goes for you," Renamon answered.
"Humph! Nonetheless even though you're a good fighter, that still does not mean I'm gonna stop battling you, you fiend," said the other Renamon.
"Aargh! For the last time, I am not an intruder…when are you truly going to believe me?" Renamon said exasperatedly.
"Hmmm, let's see. How about….NEVER!" shouted the Renamon. She then suddenly ran into Renamon and raising her sword, she slashed at her. Seeing the attack coming, Renamon slashed at the same time with the other Renamon and both of their swords clashed together. Both two Renamon glared at one another furiously from the sides of their clashed swords.
"Grrrr! Why won't you believe me when I'm telling you that I am not an intruder?" Renamon said through clenched teeth, still glowering at her opponent: the other Renamon.
"Because…my master always told me to trust my instincts and not the word of some mere stranger," the Renamon answered heatedly.
"Well…your instincts surely are incorrect," Renamon uttered, teeth still clenched tightly.
This made the other Renamon simply furious. "WHAT!" the Renamon shouted, "HOW DARE YOU UTTER SUCH NONSENSE? HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT MY INSTINCTS ARE INCORRECT?"
Stepping forwards, the other Renamon forced Renamon backwards and for a brief moment, Renamon was caught off balance but the golden-haired and white vixen immediately regained herself.
"Humph! I'll show you who is wrong you intruder," the other Renamon uttered furiously, "Ikazuchi Daseki!"
Passing a gloved finger across the blade of her Katana sword, the other Renamon generated a long bolt of lightning which she all of a sudden launched straight at Renamon.
Bearing in mind the attack coming towards her, Renamon quickly dodged the attack but this time…the fox merely missed the attack by a few inches. But strangely this time the other Renamon's attack, as Renamon noticed, was incredibly powerful since the assail had left a huge abrasion in the wall after it has missed Renamon and collided with that instead.
"Oh my lord, I can't believe this," Renamon uttered as she glanced from the graze in the wall to the other Renamon, "what kind of attack was that?"
"That, intruder, was an Ikazuchi Daseki meaning Thunder Strike. It is an advanced technique in martial arts that can only be performed by the hands of a skilled Samari, like myself," explained the Renamon.
"But…I have never heard of such a physical attack even when I was training to become a skilled Samari," Renamon said.
"Ha! Shows how much you know," said the Renamon pretentiously.
Renamon snarled. "Regardless of how much you may know more than me…that still would not prevent me from defeating you even with your so-called Ikazuchi Daseki."
The Renamon chuckled haughtily. "Heh! You really think that you can defeat me, don't you?" she said.
"I don't think….I know," Renamon replied courageously.
"Oh you do, do you," the other Renamon chuckled, "well…THINK AGAIN!"
The other Renamon ran her fingers along her Katana sword blade and prepared for another assault.
"Ikazuchi Daseki!" the other Renamon screamed, launching her attack at Renamon.
Renamon effortlessly blocked herself from the attack with her Wakizashi sword. However…that did not mean she did not feel some sort of damage.
"AARGH!" Renamon screamed as the sentiment of 1000 bolts of electricity coursed through her body.
Renamon fell on her knees in agony. This sight only made the other Renamon snigger heartlessly.
"Awh…is the big bad intruder afraid of a little lightning," the Renamon said childishly, "well TOO BAD for you. Hahahahaha!"
Renamon glared up at the other Renamon from her position and bared her teeth at her. This only made matters worse.
"Oh so now you want to bare your teeth at me, eh?" the Renamon growled wrathfully, "here…have another taste of this! Ikazuchi Daseki!"
ZAP! The other Renamon sent another jolt of lightning at Renamon and again, she blocked the assault… only to feel yet another sentiment of one thousand bolts of lightning course through her body.
"Ikazuchi Daseki!" the other Renamon exclaimed sending another assault at Renamon.
Renamon blocked the attack again and for the third time, bolts of lightning shocked her painfully.
"Ikazuchi Daseki!" the other Renamon shouted loudly attacking for the fourth time.
For the fourth time, Renamon blocked the thunder strike and once again; the golden fox felt the pain of electricity serge through her body. Renamon laid her hands on the ground afterwards, tiny specks of electricity still sparking from her electrocuted form. The other Renamon shook her head at Renamon.
"Honestly, I don't know how long you are planning to keep this up," the Renamon said, "I mean, you can't keep dodging my Ikazuchi Daseki attacks for long so why don't you just do yourself a favor and just…SURRENDER!"
"Ne…Ne…Never," Renamon stuttered, "not while I can still…bre….breath."
"Ugh! Such incompetence," the other Renamon snorted aggressively, "but still, that does not matter because I am still going to put you out of your misery."
The other Renamon now raised her Katana sword in the air and as she held it upwards, the other yellow vixen made a criss-cross slashing movement which formed a huge sparking X.
"Better say your prayers intruder," the Renamon said, "Haipa-Ikazuchi Daseki!"
Without warning, the other Renamon unleashed her attack on Renamon. The powerful ember X soared dangerously towards Renamon. However; Renamon saw this attack approaching and was well prepared to dodge it. Renamon stood up on her feet only fall back down on her knees again.
Renamon was very stunned at this quandary. The yellow fox then tried moving her right shoulder (her sword-holding arm) only to flinch in pain.
The electricity from the previous Ikazuchi Daseki attacks had paralyzed Renamon's entire right shoulder infact (after examining her other body parts) it had paralyzed her entire body. Now Renamon was in deep trouble.
"Oh no…I can't…move…an…inch," Renamon moaned excruciatingly.
"Well, well, well, look at this situation. The little intruder is paralyzed, how…SAD!" the Renamon said sardonically.
Renamon snarled crossly and shot daggers at the other Renamon but despite this, Renamon knew that that she was right. The Haipa-Ikazuchi Daseki was nearly approaching Renamon and all the brave yellow vixen could have done at the moment was kneel up courageously to take her attack.
BAM! The Haipa-Ikazuchi Daseki attack was executed and in the end, Renamon was blasted forcefully into the nearest wall where she laid motionless, her entire body was sparkling tiny specks of electricity.
When she had recouped herself a tiny bit, Renamon feebly lifted her head and glanced upwards; but all Renamon saw was the ends of a Katana sword blade. Renamon then looked at the other Renamon, who had the same unsympathetic expression on her face. Renamon groaned.
"Hmmm! See what happens when you don't listen. You selflessly entered my master's property and threatened to battle me but now…look at you, lying on the floor like a dog. Such common shame," the Renamon muttered.
Renamon groaned again. Her legs were aching and the rest of her body was still paralyzed. Renamon was in serious pain. But this sort of thing seemed to only infuriate the other Renamon very much.
"Urgh! Quit your pathetic groaning," the Renamon said in an irritated tone, "humph! Now that I have weakened you, it is time for me to get rid of you once and for all you intruder."
Raising her Katana sword yet again, the other Renamon made the same criss-crossing slash and formed another X, though….this one was larger than the first.
"Sayonara intruder!" the other Renamon shouted with a devilish smirk, "Haipa-Ikazuchi Daseki!"
For the second time, a sparking X was aimed at Renamon. Renamon stared up weakly as the giant thunder X moved towards her.
"If that thing hits me…it will all be over" Renamon thought to herself. Moving her arms, Renamon tried to crawl away but she was too weak so crawling away was not an option.
Closer and Closer the attack came, but all Renamon could have down was lay her head back down on the ground. She had lost all of her strength and her breath was becoming shallow. Now the attack was in reach of Renamon and all she could have done was close her eyes to take the attack again.
But…miraculously, just as the lightning X was about to overcome Renamon, there came a sudden swiping sound and the next thing that happened was…………
"REPULSE THE THUNDER!" yelled a proverbial creature as he slashed his own Wakizashi sword which extraordinarily repelled the thunder strike. The other Renamon goggled at this in amazement.
After he had blocked the attack, the proverbial creature knelt down besides Renamon and stroked her soothingly on her head.
"Renamon? Renamon, are you alright?" the proverbial creature asked, speaking in a concerned voice.
Renamon opened her eyes. She was very relieved to see that she was still alive and was even more relieved to see that the creature who had spoken to her was Renomon.
"Reno…mon," Renamon spoke faintly, "Renomon, is that…you?"
"Yes Renamon, it is me," Renomon answered smiling, "what happened to you? I left you in here for a few seconds and look at you now. You're bruised to the fullest extent."
"I know that Renamon," Renamon answered, "I was…attacked; attacked by…that same Renamon who is standing right behind you!"
Renomon glanced over his shoulder behind at the other Renamon. As he saw the other Renamon, Renomon screwed his face up in perplexity. The brown fox stared back at Renamon with the same confused expression.
"You mean to tell me that you were attacked by that Renamon?" Renomon questioned.
Renamon nodded her neck in response only to wince. Renomon's face now became solemn.
"Well I cannot believe this," Renomon said standing on his feet, "I have never heard of such nonsense. Amethyst, please step forward at once."
For a brief second, Renamon was at a complete loss. She did not know whom Renomon was referring to as Amethyst. But it was when the other Renamon stepped forwards did Renamon realized that she was Amethyst. The Renamon formally known as Amethyst then knelt down on her knees infront of Renomon and looked him directly in the eyes.
"You called for me master," Amethyst said respectfully.
"Yes I did," Renomon answered, "and I only have one question for you, did you attack that Renamon who is lying on the ground hurt over there."
Amethyst gazed over at Renamon. "Yes I did master Renomon," Amethyst answered honestly, "she was trespassing on your property so I dealt with her."
"I see," Renomon said coolly, "I admire your courage and respect Amethyst and I am also very proud of you for trying to protect my home. But as skilful at the arts of the Samari as you are Amethyst, there is still one more rule I need to teach you."
"Which rule is that master?" Amethyst questioned curiously.
"The rule that clearly states to never attack an innocent Renomon or Renamon," Renomon answered.
Amethyst's eyes widened. "You mean that I….
"Yes, thanks to you an innocent Renamon is now severely damaged," Renomon finished.
"Oh my gosh," Amethyst said covering her mouth, "I am so sorry for what I have done master Renomon."
"I also apologize to you Miss Renamon," Amethyst added turning on her knees to face Renamon, "I am really sorry for hurting you and…I also apologize for all the merciless things I said earlier."
Renamon smiled slightly. "It's okay…I have already forgiven you," Renamon managed to say.
"Thanks a lot, I appreciate your forgiveness," Amethyst said bowing courteously to Renamon. "And master Renomon, I hope you forgive me too," Amethyst continued now facing Renomon again, "you do forgive me, don't you?"
"Of course, I forgive you Amethyst," Renomon answered.
"Really? So you weren't really all that angry at me for what I did?" Amethyst said.
"Well yes, I was a bit furious with you for your ridiculous behavior," Renomon answered honestly, "but I'm not as angry as you are going to be at yourself?"
"Huh? Angry at myself? Why would I be angry at myself?" Amethyst question puzzled. Renamon was puzzled too.
"Well wouldn't you be angry at yourself after you've realized that you've just been attacking…your own sister," Renomon replied.
"My WHAT!" Amethyst exclaimed completely thunderstruck. Renamon froze.
"Your older sister," Renomon repeated smiling toothily, "Amethyst, I would like to meet Renamon, your older sister and Renamon, I would like you to meet Amethyst, your younger sister. Happy Sisterly Reunion!"
Renamon's face paled chalk-white as she stared dumbfounded into the purple eyes of Amethyst, who was perceptibly doing the same.
"I can't believe it," Renamon thought still staring in shock, "this is…my baby sister? Amethyst is……Reremon?"
