Chapter 10: New Rivals Clash
Alice Vs. AncientKazemon
Alice awoke with a fright as if it has been some kind of dream. She stood alone, in the misty fog that surrounded her. Her clothes filled with dirt, she brushed them off, and looked around. The sun was barely seen and everything was greyish. She walked, slowly, looking around, both her hands clenched together, over her heart.
"AK! Where'd you go? AK!" She shouted, worried a bit. She was alone again, like before she met AK. She was an orphan, over the years, no one adopted her, no one wanted her, no one would even look at her without disgust. She wondered why though. She was avoided by other kids, and was left out a bunch of times. Never had a digimon partner, never had a friend of some sort, she always sat on her bed, and lost herself in thought. She was in the state of depression, she knew a lot of things that other kids didn't know, she was special, unique, and had an IQ of 220. But her genius came with a price, isolation. The thought made a tear fall from her eye, landing into the ground, with a loud splash. Looking down at the ground, she was now standing on a trail, but just a minute ago, she was walking on cement. She looked up, a sign was put up;
The life you knew, doesn't exist in this world
Besides this sign, there should be a crossroad
Pick carefully
The left lane will give you a different childhood
The right lane will keep your life the same
The choice is yours, change who you are
Or stay the same...
Blurred writing was at the bottom, not being able to see it, Alice looked at the left lane. "A normal life, a life of friends and parents..." She than turned towards the other lane. "The same life..." The decision was hard for her. If she had a normal life, she would be giving up everywhere she had right now. AK, Henry, and Serph, they were all important to her. While their travels, they seemed to all connect, bonded and everything. She couldn't help but wonder what would happen if she had a regular childhood, how could that affect her today. "No, I'm going to stay the way I am!" As soon as she thought that, the lanes started to disappear, along with the scenery, the mist vanish and with a blink of an eye, she was somewhere else. She stood in the middle of a meadow of flowers, and trees, and fairly large rocks.
"Looks like you made it..." A voice said behind her. She quickly turned around to see AncientKazemon, sitting on top of a rock, with her left leg over her right. "I thought it would take forever before you should arrive." She laughed a bit. "For a genius, you sure look clueless." She taunted Alice, laughing a bit.
"Where is AK? Where is he?" She asked her with a harsh voice, glaring at her. There was a complete silence, the wind blew harshly towards them, howling at Alice.
Fiddling with a flower, AncientKazemon replied. "I don't know..." She chuckled a bit. "All I do know, is that it's my mission to destroy you..." She dropped the flower and charged at Alice. "Rainbow Symphony!" A rainbow colored beam blasted at her, with AncientKazemon coming in closer. The beam missed into right in front of her, making a blast so big, that it blew Alice back towards a tree standing behind her. Alice quickly ducked and AncientKazemon appeared, her rapier, slammed right into the tree truck. "Smart little girl, when they said you were a genius, I didn't expect you to be that much of it..."
"Looks can be deceiving..." Alice replied with a small smile. "Seeing how she is stuck, I say it will take her a minute before she breaks free, AK, where are you?" She thought to herself. Running towards the rock AncientKazemon was sitting on, she noticed something. The flowers, were growing in front of her very eyes, growing at an extreme rate, soon only her upper body was showing.
"Not everything here, is reality...I control the habitat here!" AncientKazemon said, appearing before her. "Nothing in this dimension is really real, you can't tell what's going to happen, the outcome is always different..." She laughed a bit. "Like these flowers, they aren't suppose to grew thorns or meant to be roses, but I could all change that in a snap." AncientKazemon snapped her fingers as she said snap and the flowers quickly changed into roses, with thick large thorns. Alice was trapped, the thorns were on her, blood was running down her arms and legs, tears were falling from her gentle eyes. "See how everything is in my control, and just like that, your going to be destroyed, a slow, painful death..."
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Alice looked up, there was Sealsdramon. Dropping out of the sky, AK had his javelin pointing down on top of AncientKazemon, and threw it down. AncientKazemon laughed a disappeared with the wind, appearing on the rock she was on before, a couple of feet away from Alice. The javelin was a couple of inches away from Alice and AK landed in front of it. He grabbed the javelin and stood there, cutting the flowers. Alice was amazed of the speed, she didn't even catch the first sign of movement from the arm. "Alice, go..."
"No...Not without you..." Alice replied, they were whispering softly. "I'll stand and fight..."
"Have it your way than..." AK whispered. He knew that Alice would be in a disadvantage here, since this was AncientKazemon's dimension, she could bend reality and make fantasy real. Not only that, but AncientKazemon was also very clever, just like Alice, they were both geniuses, and they both try to hide it from others. "AncientKazemon! You are a genius also, are you not?"
There was a bit of silence. "Yes, that is true."
"Than why do you serve The Great Master, if you could easily outsmart The Great Master?" AK asked her, shouting from where he was standing.
"I don't know, something about The Great Master, makes me want to stay..." She blushed a bit, but not showing any sign of weakness. "Rainbow Symphony!"
Pushing Alice out of the way, AK jumped into the air and vanished as he land into the roses. "This is sad, you aim was way off..." Alice said. It was true, the blast came over their heads. AK was hidden among the flowers, and Alice was standing in open view.
"They think they could truly outsmart me...That is sad..." She snapped her fingers and all the roses started to wither away. "This technique of yours isn't going to work. You think that you could distract me, and than your digimon is going to attack me. A fairly simple plan..." AncientKazemon turned, to see nothing but withered flowers. "Nice, your digimon is hidden with the withered flowers..." She snapped her fingers again, the flowers grew and a gas came out of it, a purplish gas that was thick and slowly moving.
"AK get out of there! It's poison!" Alice shouted, there wasn't a single sound made. Alice climbed on top of a rock, above the poisonous gas. "AK! Get out of there!" A couple of tears fell from her eyes.
"Pathetic, such a defeat." AncientKazemon laughed. "Wind Gazer!" Storm clouds started to roll in, swirling around in circles, over her head. Controlling it with her rapier, she swung it towards Alice. The storm clouds formed a small tornado, absorbing the gas. The wind blew harshly as the tornado came closer and closer to her, but Alice stood tall.
Alice remained there, on the rock, just looking through the tornado, and at AncientKazemon. "Now..." She whispered softly, as the wind picked up her words and swept them away.
AK jumped from behind her, and entered the tornado, unseen by AncientKazemon, the tornado continued to swirl.
AncientKazemon continued to laugh. "This is the end my darling! One genius will stand today, the other shall fall!" The tornado, started to move uneasily, moving side to side, not on the straight line AncientKazemon wanted. Swinging her rapier again, the tornado started to move straight, but than did the same thing again. "What!?"
Than in a blink of an eye, the rapier fell from her hands and when into AK's. AncientKazemon turned around sharply, and was kicked in the rib cage by AK. She collided into a tree, next to Alice. AncientKazemon was defenseless without her rapier, she was variable. She sat there, under the tree, with her back on the tree truck, as if she was knocked out. As AK approached her, he heard a small snickering.
"Nice job, didn't expect that, but did you expect this?" She snapped her fingers and the tree's roots exploded from the ground, tying him to the ground. "You can't outsmart me that easily." She grabbed her rapier, and smiled. "Almost forgot, your javelin..." She looked at him, it wasn't there. "Where is it?" She asked him in a kind voice. "I don't want to have to hurt you...but if I must..." Her voice was rough.
"It's right behind you..." AK said with disgust.
"Okay, that is how your suppose to treat me, if you don't want to be killed, but either way, your going to die with your pathetic tamer..." She said softly as she slid her finger across AK's face.
"Pathetic tamer huh?" Alice said. The javelin was in her hand, standing behind her. She swung the javelin. AncientKazemon jumped out of the way, but the main root was cut and the whole thing fell apart.
"Something told me that was going to happen..." AncientKazemon said. "And I didn't even get to have fun with your digimon yet...O well...Rainbow Symphony!"
Alice toss AK the javelin and he began to twirl it. The beam clashed into the javelin. Alice ran across the field next to the beam, running towards AncientKazemon with a knife. "Time to end this!" Running up to AncientKazemon, she slashed the knife against her rib cage, and stopped the attack. Blood was drawing from her side, like blood that was flowing down from Alice's arms. Than Alice fell to the ground, she lost so much blood, she fell to the ground.
"Shit, I have to end this soon..." AK said, staring at Alice that had fell to the ground. "Death Behind!" With a blink of an eye, he was gone. AncientKazemon jumped out of the way, but it was too late. The knife slid across the bottom of her foot, blood was running down from it. "Death Behind!" Again and again, each time, either there was a small cut, or a large deep on, depending on which way AncientKazemon ran. After the 20th slash, AncientKazemon couldn't take it anymore. Blood was running from her face, down to the bottom of her feet.
"How could I lose to such a predictable technique?" She asked weakly. If she healed herself, than what would be the good, she had lost too much blood and it would take time for something like that to happen, for her to take back in all her lost blood and her wounds to be healed. But that time, she would've also been dead.
"Because, you've gone too cocky, over confident that you'll win..." AK answered. AncientKazemon smiled a bit.
"That is true...But at least I know one thing...That the Great Master is..." Before she could continue her last sentence, she vanished into data.
"The Great Master is what?!" AK shouted, the scenery went white and there stood a statue of AncientKazemon. It than shattered into pieces and a mysterious voice came again.
"AncientKazemon has been defeated...With that, I shall award you with AncientKazemon's data..." A strip of data came out of the statue and clashed into Alice's digivice. "Data transfer completed." The voice disappeared.
AK turned to Alice, and picked her up a bit, her wounds were healed, they stopped bleeding and she seemed to be back to normal.
"Something is wrong, but who was that?" AK asked himself...
