Chapter 10 - AntiUniversalmon

Nicole and Joshua gasped in shock after hearing the Digimon introduce itself. It looked nearly identical to Universalmon, except that it was male, and black and green in color.

"You know me?" I asked the Digimon that introduced itself as AntiUniversalmon.

"Hmm, a case of amnesia I see, or perhaps, your true self has been put to sleep," AntiUniversalmon said.

"Put to sleep?" Nicole asked confused.

"Shhh," I quickly said to Nicole before turning back to AntiUniversalmon. "W-what do yo-"

I stopped in mid-sentence as before my very eyes, AntiUniversalmon had disappeared. I closed my eyes slowly opening them back up, my hands clenching and then unclenching trying to relieve the anger I was beginning to feel, trying to prevent my 'other side' from coming back.

"Are you okay Nathan?" Infinimon asked moving her head in front of me, trying her best to look me in the eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I lied, feeling a faint migraine beginning to rise.

"Don't try and fight it...let me go on from here," that very familiar voice spoke in my head.

"N-no!" I screamed, pushing Infinimon away as my migraine grew more.

"The more you fight, the more it'll hurt, I can help you," the voice spoke.

"N-never!" I screamed again, witnessing everyone stepping back fearful.

The migraine became even more intense, causing my sight to waver, and for me to feel incredibly dizzy. A moment of blackness before my very eyes, and then the pain was gone, but that all too familiar feeling, of loosing control of my own body returned.

"No!" I screamed inside my own head, hearing the voice echo.

I felt my mouth smirk, as I walked towards the tower, pressing against one particular part with the palm of my hand. A panel slid open, and I witnessed as I typed in a passcode, and a door that wasn't there before appeared and opened before me. I watched through my own eyes as I turned and motioned the others into the doorway first, of which they hesitated.

"Not to worry, it's safe, you can trust me," the other me spoke from my own mouth.

With that the others stepped in, and whilst none saw, I felt my mouth smirk once again, relishing in the thought of what lied ahead.

"No, please don't do this!" I continued screaming in my own head, realizing I was going unheard.

The door closed behind us, as the entranceway lit up, appearing to be a elevator that no doubt led up. I motioned towards the elevator, as the others got in, following them inside. The doors closed, and I pressed a number of buttons on a panel causing the elevator to jolt slightly as it began to move. I could feel, for some reason, the speed of which the elevator was moving, and the other part of me knew that within seconds we would reach the top floor. The elevator soon stopped, and the doors opened, leading out towards what the other me knew was the top floor.

"Ah, you truly are back, now," the same raspy voice that I knew belonged to AntiUniversalmon.

"Why yes...and I've come, for what belongs to me," I felt myself say, which surprised me as I watched through my own eyes.

"Then, you have to go through me," AntiUniversalmon said.

"Not a problem," the other me said, through my mouth, grabbing the gold card from my pocket and grabbing my Digivice with my other hand, sliding the card through the reader. "Digi-Modify! Bio Merge, Activate!"

I felt the familiar feeling of being pulled towards Infinimon and seemed to melt into her.

"Infinimon Digivolve to...Universalmon," we said in unison.

I felt the familiar smirk, unsure if it was the other me, or Infinimon. I could feel my hands clench, and the familiar, yet uncomfortable, feeling of my chest jiggling slightly. I cricked my neck to the side as if stretching my neck muscles, and rushed suddenly towards AntiUniversalmon, one hand turning into a blade forming long and sharp from my hand as I turned it towards AntiUniversalmon.

"Sword of Infinity!" I yelled as I slashed in the direction of AntiUniversalmon.

To my eyes it appeared that I made direct contact and sliced AntiUniversalmon diagonally in half, but the smirk on his face told me otherwise. My hand quickly turned from blade into the familiar cannon, charging up again, as I pointed it towards AntiUniversalmon. I noticed a scared look on AntiUniversalmon's face, and felt the smirk across my own.

"Ahh, yes, you didn't know about this one...did you?" I said. "Universe Destroyer!"

A huge blast in the shape of a ball again, yet bigger this time, shot from the cannon and directly into AntiUniversalmon. The blast shot AntiUniversalmon back, and through the outer wall of the tower, leaving a gaping hole in the wall and continued going past the horizon where I could no longer see.

The cannon slowly disappeared forming back into a regular hand as I walked up to a console, and began tapping away at it. I looked up at a screen that displayed something, information to something I wasn't sure. I pressed one button and could feel something pouring into my mind, and for some reason I was beginning to feel in control again. I blinked for a moment, then realized I was in control of my own body again, and for some reason, I couldn't feel my other, darker self anymore. I felt as if a switch flicked inside my head and I knew that instant that I had to blow up that tower, one of many throughout this world. I pressed a button on the panel and brought up a self destruct sequence watching it count down.

Quickly I turned toward the others, grabbed them before they could say anything, and flew out the hole in the wall, making sure to fly at a speed to make it out of the explosion radius in time. I heard the time tick down from a distance and then the sudden explosion as the tower then began to crumble to the ground.

"W-whoa, how did you know to do that?" Joshua asked.

"I...don't know" I responded, this time knowing I was the one to say it, and not this other me.

I will try and update once I get close to 35 reviews or so, as a test to see if anyone is (or rather if enough people are) even still interested.
