After a month long coma, Davis finally awoke, but he wasn't so happy about being woken up. As Lineer's army attacked an underground base, Davis was able to take most of them down so easily, but Davis wasn't acting like himself. He's filled with too much anger.
"Davis, what are you talking about?" Veemon asked.
"You heard me. Get away from me. Leave me alone." Davis said.
"Davis, what's wrong?" Lita asked.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?!" Davis said. "You all know damn well what's wrong! This whole mess! Everything with Lineer! It's all because of those dumb I.S. units!"
"Aw! Is my sweet little boy having problems?" Davis turned around and noticed that she was here.
"Lineer!" Davis growled.
"I thought I come and see how my darling children are doing." Lineer said.
"Shut up!" Davis shouted as he tried to slice her in half, but his sword just went right through her.
"It's only a projection!" Serene said.
"Are you have problems my sweet little boy? You don't need to worry. Mommy is here to make it all better." Lineer said.
"You're not my mom!" Davis shouted as he kept trying to attack her to get all the rage out knowing his attacks won't doing anything.
"That foolish father of yours thought he could hide you from me. I did believe you were dead, but Inzuma actually pulled a fast one on me." Lineer said.
"I told you to shut up!" Davis shouted.
"If you really wish to settle this, come to I.S. Academy." Lineer said. "Mommy will be waiting for you." The projection went away. Davis was taking deep breaths, but he still had so much rage in him.
"Motomiya, you can't go. It's an obvious trap." Chifuyu said as she came up behind him. This time, Davis didn't back down as he held the sword to her.
"Don't act like you're my teacher." Davis said.
"Davis!" Davis looked to the side and saw Kari with his adoptive parents.
"Kari!" Davis said as he was surprised to see them all.
"Davis, please try to calm down." Jack said, but Davis didn't even want to hear anything from them.
"You two are the last people I want to see!" Davis said.
"Davis, you're not thinking clearly. Calm down. We understand that you might be mad." Ichika said.
"Shut up!" Davis shouted. "None of you can understand how I feel! None of you had your entire life ended up becoming a lie and finding out that not a single thing about you is suppose to be true! I'm going to settle things with Lineer. She did all this to me and I'm going to make her pay!" Everyone was starting to get scared with Davis. Veemon worked up the courage and brought Dragonic Heaven to him.
"Davis, you should at least take this." Veemon said as he held it out to him. Davis glared at it.
"That?" Davis said as he yanked it out of Veemon's hands. "I wish these dumb I.S. units were never invented. It's all because of them that we're even in this mess. If they didn't exist, we wouldn't be where we are now. If they didn't exist, my whole life wouldn't have been destroyed! So I'm done with them!" He shouted as he tossed his unit to the ground. "I don't want anything to do with them anymore."
"What does that mean for all of us?" Kimi said.
"Yes. After all, we all became friends because of them." Serene said, but Davis wouldn't even answer.
"I'm going." Davis said and started walking.
"Davis, please don't go!" Gina called out.
"Davis, come back here!" Jack said, but their voices pulled another trigger as he slammed his katana on the ground.
"Don't try to stop me! I'm going to put an end to all this! I'll take down anyone who dares gets in my way!" Davis shouted and kept going.
"Davis, you can't walk away from this! You're the only one who can use Dragonic Heaven and it might be our best bet of getting out of this." Lita called out.
"All of you just leave me alone." Davis said. Lita was going to go after him, but Wade showed up and grabbed her shoulder to keep her from going anywhere.
"Don't. He needs time." Wade said. "He's just scared, frustrated, and confused. He just doesn't know what to believe anymore. He needs to figure all of this out." All of them felt terrible for Davis, but there wasn't really anything anyone could to help him. Davis tied the katana around his back and took a motorcycle with him riding off. He doesn't know what to believe, but he knows who to take all his rage and hatred out on.
…
The Base
All the I.S. pilots with Wade and Chifuyu gathered in the base and were trying to figure out their next course of action. Veemon was in there as well and held Dragonic Heaven. It might be the world's best hope, but without Davis, it isn't much help.
"I feel so horrible." Sierra said.
"Davis had so much anger in his eyes." Charlotte said.
"I wonder what Lineer is up to leading Davis to I.S. Academy like that." Chifuyu said.
"He is heading into a trap. That much we know." Fria said.
"Yes, but what exactly is going to happen to him?" Laura said.
"Why are we even just sitting here?!" Kimi shouted. "We should go and help him. He can't go alone. Someone better give me a straight answer as to what we're going to do or I'm going to lose it!"
"We are going to help, Davis." Wade said and everyone turned their attention towards him. "In Davis' state of mind, he's more of a threat to us than an asset. So if he needs to do this to clear his head, we have to let him."
"But he could be killed." Serene said.
"I know. That's why we're going to help him." Wade said. "I just needed him to think he's going alone so he won't try to fight us."
"What I'm curious about is why they're using I.S. Academy as their base." Tatenashi said.
"Well, they might be using the technology there to speed along the process of Sensational manufactured along other things." Wade said.
"What do you mean?" Lita asked.
"Later." Wade said. "Right now, we need to get ourselves ready. We're all heading out. We can't fly with your I.S. units or she'll spot us. We need to strike in a different approach and I know just how to do that."
"Why do I get the feeling it's going to be something big, unnecessary, but will still work out?" Lita said.
"Because you know your brother too well." Wade said.
…
Marinda
Even after everything that went on above ground, Marinda hardly reacted. She continued to stay in that position and only looked up when she heard someone coming her way. She looked up and saw it was Chifuyu again.
"What do you want now?" Marinda said.
"I'm here to make an offer because I know you would be useful to us." Chifuyu said.
"What makes you think I will work with you?" Marinda said.
"Because I know you want to defeat your mother. Look back at your last attempt and try to think what you could have done differently." Chifuyu said. She took out Marinda's I.S. and held it up. Marinda looked at it and could see there was only one way for her to get out of this.
….
The Docks
A secret passage in the docks opened up and a large ship was coming out of it. Wade and the others were boarding it and getting ready to deport.
"Move out!" Wade said. "We're getting ready to take off." Ichika and the girls were getting ready for battle themselves and this might be the biggest fight of their lives.
"Wait!" Veemon called out. "I'm going too. Davis is my friend and I have to be there for him."
"I'm not sure if that's a good idea, Veemon." Ichika said.
"It is." Kari said as she lifted Veemon in her arms. "That's why we're both going."
"Hold on. You can't just weasel your way in." Kimi said. "We've been through a lot with Davis."
"Yeah, but I've been through a lot more with him. I've been with Davis since we were kids. I want to help him, even if there isn't much I can do." Kari said. None of them really like the idea, but it is for Davis' sake that they're talking about.
"Wade, what do you think?" Lita asked.
"They can come." Wade said. "If they're such close friends with him, it might be useful to us. Besides, Veemon won't let go of Dragonic Heaven and we might need it. Come onboard." Kari and Veemon were glad they could come and went on the ship. Gatomon was going too, but Kari turned to her.
"No, Gatomon. I want you to stay with the others." Kari said.
"What? Kari, what if you're in trouble and need help?" Gatomon said.
"I just feel like this is something I need to do alone." Kari said and went on the ship with Veemon.
"Make room for one more." All of them saw Chifuyu, but they were all surprised to see her with Marinda, but she was in handcuffs.
"What's she doing here?" Serene asked.
"Miss Orimura, you can't be serious about bringing her." Cecilia said.
"I am. We're going to need all the help we can get and she knows better than anyone what we're up against." Chifuyu said. "Don't worry. If she causes trouble, I'll handle it. Miss Yamada, stay here and keep an eye on things."
"Yes ma'am." Maya said. All of them got on the ship and headed out to face his threat. The fate of the world could rest on them.
…
I.S. Academy
Ever since the attack last month, Lineer has taken over the academy and used it as her place. Sensationals were over the entire place. They heard something moving against tracks and saw the monorail coming in. The monorail pulled in and they gathered around to see who would come out of it. Davis smashed through as he rode the motorcycle and drove against the robots. He kept going and his rage fueled him as he slashed his sword against the robots. He pulled over when he got in front of the main buildings.
"Lineer! Get out here!" Davis shouted.
"You actually came? Did you honestly think this wasn't going to be a trap?" Davis knew that childish voice and was in no mood for it.
"Harina, where are you?! I'm in no mood for your games." Davis said.
"Aw! Are you mad?" Harina said as she stepped out and showed herself.
"Get out of my way." Davis demanded.
"No way. Now that I know you're Lineer's son, we can have so much fun together." Harina said.
"I am curious about something. Marinda is Lineer's daughter, but how did you get mixed in all of this." Davis said.
"You mean why am I here?" Harina said. "That's simple. I once had absolutely nothing. Lineer was the one who brought me here as she showed me all the happiness I can have. She's a genius!"
"Let's see how happy you are when you're dead." Davis said. He held the sword right out and charged right at her on the bike. Harina jumped right over it and avoided his attack.
"You know how to ride a motorcycle?" Harina said. "You're using a simple katana against me? Why aren't you using Dragonic Heaven?"
"I don't have it. I want nothing to do with those I.S. units anymore. All they've done is caused my life to be destroyed." Davis said.
"What are you talking about? You got reunited with your real mother because of them." Harina said.
"Lineer's not my mother! Shut up about it!" Davis said as he drove at her again, but Harina jumped and kicked Davis right off the motorcycle and knocked the katana right out of his hand.
"It also would have given you what you needed to fight me." Harina said. "You're not as much fun without it."
"No need to worry." Davis heard Lineer and turned around to see her being hovered by her creations. "You don't have to worry about anything ever again, my sweet little Davis."
"Lineer! Don't annoy me when I have such a short fuse. All I want to do is kill you." Davis said.
"That is no way to speak to your mother, young man." Lineer said. "You'll have a change of attitude soon enough once you have this." She held out a gauntlet and it looked like a darker version of Davis' unit.
"That looks like Dragonic Heaven, but black." Davis said.
"Correct. I made it myself." Lineer said. "It's all thanks to the data gathered from your previous encounters with Harina and Marinda, but better. A son of mine deserves better than what you had. This one is called Dragonic Hell." Davis was ready to fight her with his bare hands, but Harina unleashed her snakes and had them wrap around Davis and lifted him off the ground.
"Things will be better once you put it on." Harina said.
"No way! I'm done with I.S. units." Davis said as he tried to get free.
"You'll have a change of heart once you try this one out." Lineer said. Harina held out Davis' arm for Lineer to slide it on. When it came on, a circuit patter appeared and traveled up Davis' body and a strange feeling was coming up his body.
"Get it off." Davis said as he tried to fight, but the patter reached his face and he was losing control. "Get it off!" That was when his mind went blank and everything was changing. Lineer modified it to affect Davis' mind. His memories changed around to happy ones with his actual mother. All that Davis desired felt like they were all coming true as he could see it all in his head. He had so many friends, he was with Kari, and every problem he ever had just disappeared.
"Do you feel it?" Lineer said. "All your problems just fading away. Nothing, but happiness flowing through your body. Did you ever think as a mere human you could obtain such a feeling? You can even have it when you thought it was forever lost." Lineer wrapped her arms around him like a mother holding a child. "Thanks to all that I've worked on, the machines I've created, we can achieve it. All this happiness can last forever and you'll never lose it." Tears flowed down Davis' face. He felt so happy and he doesn't want to lose it.
….
The Ship
Ichika, Wade, and everyone else set sail and were on their way to back Davis up at the academy.
I've got to ask. Why are we going by ship when we can just fly there?" Ichika said.
"Knowing Lineer, she'll detect your units before you reached the island." Wade said. "However, if you take off from a closer position, she won't know about our arrival probably just before we strike."
"But is it really a good idea having her around?" Rin said as they all looked to Marinda.
"Do not be insolent. Mentor Orimura brought her and that's more than enough for me." Laura said.
"Besides, Miss Orimura said it herself that she would be an asset to us. She knows our enemy better than anyone." Charlotte said. They all understood that, but that doesn't mean Marinda could be trusted.
"Say, where is all of Davis' little girlfriends?" Tatenashi questioned.
"They're all below us." Houki said. "They're either getting ready for battle or giving that Kari girl a piece of each of their minds."
"So are we all just about ready? This could be our last chance to counter attack Lineer." Cecilia said and all of them seemed ready for this.
"Wait. There appears to be a problem." Kanzashi said as she watched the radar.
"What's wrong?" Chifuyu asked.
"Just look in the sky." Marinda said. "You can see it coming our way." All of them looked in the same direction she did and saw something flying in fast as it crashed on the deck. All of them looked to see what it was, but all of them were astonished by it.
"Sacrebleu!" Charlotte said.
"My word!" Cecilia said.
"It can't be!" Ichika said. What crashed against the ship was a black and purple I.S., but it looked exactly like Dragonic Heaven and the pilot was Davis himself, but he had a crazy look on his face.
"Hey, there guys. You going to wreck my mom's plans?" Davis said. "I'm afraid I can't let that happen. Everyone around here is going down with the ship!" He said and unleashed a maniacal laugh. Whoever that really was in front of them, the real Davis appeared to be long gone.
…..
Davis: I can't believe how stupid I was. Why would I want to go against something like this? This feeling of happiness and joy. All my dreams and desires feel like they've come true. I don't want this feeling to end. Everyone thinks they can ruin this for me, but if they refuse to listen and submit to it, then I will destroy them.
Next time: Davis vs. Upperclassmen
This feeling of happiness is something I will not lose.
