"I SWEAR IT WASN'T ME!"
Angemon beat Demidevimon to no end.
"PLEASE STOP!"
"TELL ME WHO INFECTED US NOW!" I yelled.
"I DON'T KNOW I SWEAR!"
"I think he needs another beating with your staff Angemon."
Angemon smiled. "That won't be a problem."
He raised his staff and continued to beat down Demidevimon. He grabbed Demidevimon by one of his wings and threw him onto the floor. Angemon raised his foot and started to kick Demidevimon endlessly.
"We can keep this up all day Demidevimon. Give me the information."
"I SWEAR I TOLD YOU, PLEASE STOP!"
I sighed. "Take your foot off of him." Angemon followed command. "Tell me Demidevimon, what is light without hope?"
He squirmed. "I don't know...is this a trick question?"
"No."
"Then I don't know."
I grunted. "Light without hope is meaningless. If light doesn't have hope, there's no reason for light to exist. Things get very quiet."
Demidevimon looked at me perplexed.
"Now what is hope without light?"
"I...I don't know…"
I grabbed him by his wing.
"Well it's very simple actually."
I threw him across the floor.
"ITS UTTER CONTEMPT AND RAGE!"
I ran over to him and stomped on him over and over again.
"IMAGINE IT, EVERY HOPE AND DREAM YOU HAVE, GONE BECAUSE THE MEANS TO ACCOMPLISH THEM ARE GONE!"
"YOU HELPED TAKE AWAY MY LIGHT, MY LOVE, I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU SPEAK!"
"Please….stop….."
"NOW TELL ME BEFORE I PERSONALLY DELETE YOU."
"Ok...I'll...tell….."
I stopped stomping him. I picked him up.
"Speak."
"I don't know…..the digimon's name...but I do know….he comes to me….when…."
Demidevimon started to pass out. I slapped him to wake him up.
"Don't pass out, I am not the same person you remember, I will not tolerate anything, and you can thank your friend for it."
"I meet him….whenever he needs something. Always at night...always…"
"Where do you meet him?"
"Inifniti mountain...I see him tonight again...
"What does he usually need?"
"Nothing crazy...sometimes mushrooms, sometimes carrots...food stuff…"
"What?...
"I'm not kidding…"
"He could get it from anywhere, what aren't you telling me?"
He squirmed. I closed my fist and punched him. "TELL ME NOW!"
"They aren't normal foods! They have special qualities about them!"
"What are you talking about?"
"The food I get for him, individually they pose no threat. The mushrooms, help increase blood flow, carrots make your senses more heightened. He got plenty of food from me over time, I don't know T.K, I swear that's all I know, I don't know what he's doing with it! Please let me go now!"
I dropped him.
I turned around.
"Angemon…"
He nodded.
Angemon walked over to Demidevimon.
"Wait...what are you gonna do?…."
"FIST OF DESTRUCTION!"
"Any luck on finding T.K?"
"Nothing, he's somehow masking his location."
"Maybe he's not doing anything Matt, maybe it's the glas that's blocking it. We can't even find Davis."
Matt looked at me. "I don't know Sora...the world's gone to crap since Kari…"
"Don't say it…."
"Seriously Sora, ever since she's died, the world just seems to have gotten darker. I mean look at who America just elected. What if her presence helped the world in an unpredictable way?...
Sora got quiet. "This is the worst thing that's happened to us isn't it?..."
"I don't think it's the end either...have you heard from Tai?"
"Nothing, his phone has been off since…do you think there's any hope that she's alive Matt?"
Matt just stared at the computer screen.
"If there is any hope left..this fighting between Davis and T.K needs to be settled before we move forward on our enemy. We'll end up destroying ourselves before he or she can do any harm to us."
"Hmmm..what if that's the plan? That we destroy ourselves?"
Matt looked at me. "Then that plan is already underway…."
"Okay Xveemon, de-digivolve."
"Still no luck Davish…"
"It's okay, that's what training is all about. We'll get it…" I looked at the crest of kindness in my hand. "The power will be ours…"
"What if we're doing it wrong? What if we try to actually understand the crest?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well based on what I've heard, the first time a crest is used, it needs to be activated by events that trigger the emotion of the crest."
"So what, I gotta be nice to someone?"
"I don't know, but that's what I know."
"Well, it's not our crest, so I don't know if it will actually work. I say we try to use the rage form to activate it. Pure power."
"Whatever it is Davish, I'm with you."
