Chapter 9

Hazard Divided

On a certain hill near Apocalymon's castle

Hazard looked over at the castle. He had a hunch Apocalymon would come out of his castle and face the chosens after losing three of his 'loyal'servants. He saw the evil lord giving Kazu instructions and vanished out of sight.

"Looks like I was right. The chosens are going to have a rough time."

"Why are we not helping the others, Hazardmon?"

Hazard sighed. BlackGuilmon had not got over his habit of calling him a digimon. He patted his partner's head.

"Let's go find the crest of Miracles buddy."

"Okay, Hazardmon."

"I AM NOT A MON!!!"

Well of all things to happen, the impact of the shout caused a rockslide and the most basic thing the two best buddies did was run. They ran for their lives. The rocks were gaining on them when Hazard thought of something. He turned to see BlackGuilmon rolling instead of running.

"Hey! Why the heck are we running when we could biomerge and fly away from here?"

"I dunno. Wanna biomerge?"

"Of course, dumbass! You think I want to run for my life?! ACTIVATE HAZARD KNIGHT EVOLUTION!!!"

DiabloGallantmon managed to fly away from the rockslide. He sighed in relief but it was shortlived. He was then shot down and slammed on the floor. He got up and saw HiAndromon, Kazu's biomerged form, walking to him.

"Well, what do I have here? A knight with the hazard symbol? Its Takato isn't it?"

"Its Hazard, Shioda. Takato Matsuda is no more."

"No more? Well if that's the case you won't worry what will happen to Alice McCoy and the others?"

HiAndromon could sense DiabloGallantmon's hesitation and took advantage of it. The dark knight was taken down. He realized he should underestimate the android digimon. He quickly remembered about Davis being a statue and the crest of Miracles and Kari. He must get the crest first. He must defeat, if possible make him remember who he is through this battle, Kazu in order to start his quest.

" Damn that rockslide!"

To Tai and Sora

The couple were running to catch up with the rest. Tai looked at his digivice. It showed to him the others were pretty far away from their present location. He tugged Sora's hand for her to run faster. Sora only obeyed her fiancee's instructions. She knew what Tai is doing is right. Tai was hot-headed by he always knew what he was doing. Sora did not regret dumping Matt for Tai. Matt himself has forgotten about the whole thing and is happy to be with Mimi. Then an explosion occurred causing Tai and Sora to be blown out of their route. Sora noticed Tai had a bruised cheek. She was relieved that she brought some bandages. Tai refused the bandages but Sora insisted. Tai looked as if he was about to explode but he kept his cool. He gave in to Sora to bandaged him up.

"Oh what a cute couple."

The couple looked up and saw Apocalymon, in his human form, hovering above of them. He was carrying a sword which was similar to Gallantmon Crimson Mode's sword but it was dark. Tai swiftly used his digivice to sent a distress signal to the others. Above them, Apocalymon get ready to strike. Tai grabbed Sora's hand started to run and he knew it was going to be one heck of a wild goose chase. Apocalymon rushed after them with such speed that Tai wished the others will get to him and Sora as fast as possible.

To the others

Izzy noticed his digivice glowing an S.O.S . Tai was in trouble. He went to inform the rest. The others told him to go find out what happened to Tai and Sora. Ryo and Henry decided to accompany izzy and they brought Koromon with them just in case. Yolei noticed Alice suddenly kneeling down in pain.

"What's wrong, Alice?'

"The… hazard…inside me…. Takato is in trouble…"

Yolei was shocked to see a grey hazard sign on Alice's right hand.

"What's going on?"

At the same time with Hazard and Kazu

DiabloGallantmon held his left arm. He saw it becoming black. HiAndromon smirked seeing his plan to subdue the knight worked.

"What did you do?"

"I inserted a complex virus which its purpose is to taint the hazard making it unusable, rendering you helpless."

"What?!"

DiabloGallantmon felt his power decreasing and he knew Kazu was not joking around. The left hand's hazard power has been diminished. He looked at his right hand. His only hope is sent the surviving power of the hazard to another who is capable of controlling it.

You planning to release the hazard's power and let it be sent to another to contain and used?

Who are you?

Nevermind that. Are you planning to do that?

Yeah

Will it

What?

Use your will

Oh

Good job so far, Hazard

Thanks

Now do it!

"Arggh!!! Hazard transfer!!!"

HiAndromon saw a the hazard sign on the right hand of the knight's disappearing. The knight was in deep concentration and was in pain. HiAndromon was not going to wait and got ready his spiral blade. The timing needed to ready the attack took too long and the knight finished his hazard transfer. HiAndromon fired his gatling missiles which hit the knight directly at the chest armour. The knight was thrown pretty far away by the hevy impact of the missiles. Kazu laughed triumphantly.

"Wonder how lord Apocalymon is faring in his hunt?"

To the chosens, except Ryo, Henry and Izzy

Joe went to see what had happened to Alice. The hazard was burning on her right hand and it was colour grey. The chosens discussed that Takato had something do with it. Yolei could not bear to see Alice suffering. Alice was crying in pain and was sweating. Then a blue dragon emerged. Matt noticed him and recognized him.

'Azulongmon, its you."

"Hello, chosens."

Yolei went straight to the point.

"Why is Alice having the hazard sign on her hand?"

"that is half of it, the surviving part."

"What do you mean?"

"Half of the hazard is tainted during a battle and Takato has no choice but, to preserve the surviving power, to sent it to somebody else. Looks like Alice can also contain the hazard."

Alice managed to stand up.

"how is Takato?"

"He is now in hiding. His left hand is now numb and unmovable."

"No… my Takato…"

"Alice…"

"What should we do now guys?"

Azulongmon was the one who answered.

"Continue your journey to the Primary Village of the South. I'm want you all to meet the others there."

"Ok but Azulongmon we have less than a week to live."

"I know but don't worry all will work out."

Days left before death from sickness: 2
