Digimon: In The Defence Of Love
Chapter 12
The Fall of Tyranny, Part 2:
The Wormmon That Turned
"DAVIS!!"
The boy tumbled into the blackness, his partner spinning out of control above him, he was able to catch a glimpse of Frankenfreak, already diving deeper into the blackness, before both he and Veemon slammed into a lower walkway. "ARRGH! DAMMIT!" he swore as pain shot through his ribs.
"DAVIS! Are you ok?" Shouted Kari
"yeah!" Davis groaned, a low buzzing caught his attention, the monster was coming back... "CODY! You and Kari go on ahead! Go find Yolei, I'll try and find a way up to you. Got it?"
"I'll come Down and get you! Gatomon Ready?" Kari said
"NO Kari, Wait! Listen to me!" The buzzing sound was getting closer "we haven't got time! The quicker we find Yolei the quicker we find Ken!"
"But-" the Girl protested. Davis could hear the worry in her voice, his heart sang in elation.
"No buts! Go on, We'll catch up!" he flashed his trademark grin. He saw that Kari was reluctant, but Cody grabbed her arm and pulled her away. When they were out of sight Veemon spoke up his voice low and soft,
"Were not going after them are we?"
"Nope.. i made TK a promise... I intend to keep it. How ya feeling buddy?"
"Like i got trampled by a Mammothmon, other then that Great!" Veemon said in his unshakable enthusiasm, dropping into a fighting stance.
The buzzing behemoth roared its arrival. Saliva, glistening in the half light, dripped from its maw. Murderous intent in its demonic scarlet eyes. Davis braced himself for an attack, waiting for the pain of those viscous jaws scything into his flesh, but the attack never came...the Beast bellowed a great roar, Flem and Foul Breath spewed all over the boy.
Relived, Davis shook the worst of it off and wiped his goggles clear, "That wasn't so bad," he muttered, drawing his Digivice from his belt. His eyes glowing with determination and courage, he stared at his opponent, a confident grin edged his lips, " 'ello Beastie..." In one fluid motion he thumbed the activation key and pointed his Digivice at his partner Roaring, "LETS ROCK!"
Footfalls pounded, the sound reverberating off the walls, Cody panted as he climbed what seemed like the millionth stair. He paused for a moment, leaning against the wall trying lose a small stitch in his side. His grandpa would be furious if he found out Cody had been skipping his exercises for trip to another world.
Not far behind Kari was breathing heavily, although this didn't stop her from arguing to go back,
"but cody-" she began, swiftly Cody cut her off
"Davis is right," he hesitated in suprise as what he just said sank in, "we have to find Yolei. Then Ken. The sooner that happens the better. Don't worry Davis may be a goof, but he keeps his promises," He turned up the winding passage and called to their scout "Hawkmon! Is there anything up ahead?"
"No Cody, but please hurry! Who knows what horrible tortures that maniac is putting Yolei through!"
Cody tried to lighten the mood, "Trust me if anyone is doing the torturing it yolei! That girl is scary when she's angry" he said with grin, though he felt no mirth. he heard a small chuckle escape Kari's lips, good he thought we havn't heard her laugh in so long, she must be healing. Cody took off up the stairs again Hang on Sis, we're coming to get you...
Yolei was surprised at herself, she thought she would be scared of being trapped and alone with the great and evil Digimon Emperor. But in the small time she had spent here she saw a different side to him. In the few seconds he had spoken to his captive, a glimpse of the real boy under the darkness had shone through, there where other reason for him conquering the digiworld and yolei was determined to find out what.
"Ken please, talk to me... i can help you... let me be your friend..."
Ken just stared at the screen, after a minute he muttered "i don't have any friends."
"yes you do. There's Wormmon, you may treat him like dirt but he's always there to help you, support you. If thats not a friend then i don't know what is."
This seemed to annoy the dark haired boy "That wimp is not my Friend, he is a loyal servant nothing more.."
Out of the corner of her eye Yolei noticed something on a screen. Davis and Raidramon battling valiantly against Kimeramon, Cody and Kari dashing towards the control room, and Wormmon carrying something a black cubeish thing towards the battle.
"Tell me why ken... why did you do all this!"
"Its a long story..." he whispered as though it pained him to remember.
Yolei smirked a little, "I'm not going anywhere..."
Davis was tired, he sprinted behind a pile of boxes paused for a second before scrambling up them, "HEY UGLY!! DOWN HERE!! LOOK AT THE GOOD LOOKING, CHARMING HUMAN!!" he yelled waving his arms frantically, before leaping off the pile as a large claw swiped in his direction and rolled further down the walkway.
They had been at this for ten minitues Davis would distract the beast, and when its back was turned Raidramon would attack. It was a good plan, however all they seemed to have done so far is making even angrier... if that were possible.
"Davis! Go up a level! There more cover up there!" Yelled Raidramon as his lighting bolts slammed into the side of his enemy.
"Right!" Davis sprinted towards the stairwell. Leaping over the broken remains of a packing crate, he landed hard, pain shooting through his ankles. As he reached the next level Davis heard Raidramon cry out in pain, suddenly Veemon flew past the open doorway, Davis reached out to grab his partner but was too far away.
A green blur swung on a silky thread catching the weakened Digimon, rolling to a stop next to the astonished human.
"You! Your one of Kens goons!" Davis shouted accusingly, while shaking Veemon awake
"I know your here to help Ken" Wormmon spoke quietly nervously "He's changed from the nice boy I used to know, ever since that dark place, he was different, Please help him," he pulled a black object off his back and pushed it towards Davis "Use this, its said in that in the right hands its true power will awaken."
"Why should we trust you?!" Davis growled
"Because you want to destroy that monster for everything its done, and i want my friend back just as much as you want yours... please i beg you, help him" tears where in the Digimons' eyes.
Davis was taken aback he saw the sincereness behind the Digimon's words, he said that Ken wasn't always like this, perhaps there was hope for TK. he nodded slowly and picked up the object and smiled "Thank you Wormmon you are a true friend."
The cubebish thing shone, filling the darked stairwell with a golden light, through his fingertips Davis felt a rush of energy as the black outer shell broke away and a golden Digi-egg was left.
"That's the Digi-egg of Miracles!" Squeaked Veemon as his claw traced the crest engraved into the Egg.
A monstrous bellow brought Davis back to the battle. "Miracles huh? Well we need one right now, Wormmon, go find my friends take them to where Kens got Yolei hidden, we'll handle this guy!"
"of course, good luck!" Wormmon said as he skittered away.
"You ready pal?"
Veemon seemed to glow with renewed vigour, he was really looking forward to giving the beast what-for, "Oh Yeah! lets do this!"
Thrusting the Digi-egg into the air Davis yelled "GOLDEN ARMOUR ENERGISE!!"
The familiar golden light encompassed Veemon, "VEEMON GOLDEN ARMOUR DIGIVOLVE TO... MAGNAMON!!" the figure looked similar to Flamedramon but his armour was of gold and it extended to large, shoulder paldrons.
"So how do i look?" the Digimon asked with a cheeky grin
"Like your ready to kick some digibutt!" said an awestruck Davis
"OK FLYBOY BRING IT!"
"Left or right?" pondered Cody aloud. Hawkmon fluttered around the young digidestined head, his fitful squawks urging Cody to hurry.
Kari Watched him think, herself pondering on what to do next, should they try and find TK or more likely would he find them. She shuddered a little as she remembered the look in his Inhuman eyes. Something was defiantly possessing him. Kari should know as she had been possessed before, though by light instead of darkness.
What really worried her was what if they couldn't free TK? Would they be forced to destroy him like the other minions of darkness they had vanquished? A cold shiver shot down her spine, how could she think that? He had to comeback, he just had to...
Her thoughts were intrupted by a nervous buggy voice coming from the corridor behind them, "Left, its the quickest way to the control room, where Ken and your friend is, please hurry, I've got a bad feeling about Krimeramon." he paused at their mistrustful looks, "Please, Trust me... Davis Sent me to find you, while he battles the beast."
"Davis is fighting that thing alone! Cody we have to go back!"
"maybe we shoul-"
"don't worry child of light, The Guardian has unlock the power of the Digi-Egg of Miracles. He'll be fine."
Both Hawkmon and Armodilliomon looked shocked, "the Digi-Egg of miracles?" they said in unison
"Is that powerful then?" ask Kari
"Its said that it has the power to armour Digivolve to a form near equal to Champion level!" spoke Hawkmon Intrigued. "that monster has nothing but pain coming his way!"
"Indeed." said Wormmon a glint of joy in his eye.
"If you guys are sure then..." Cody looked for confirmation of Davis' safety, the Digimon nodded he sighed and turned towards Wormmon, "left you said?"
"... I KILLED HIM! I KILLED SAM! He just wanted to protect me! I didn't mean what i said!" Ken was bawling slamming his fist against the bars of Yolei's cage.
She really felt for him, protecting the digital world was his goal, be like the older brother he lost. She didn't know what happened to him, that turned him evil, but she saw the Kindness before the Tyranny, slowly she reached out and gently placed it on his face in her hand.
"Ken what happened to Sam wasn't your fault, I know he would be proud of the thoughtful guy you have become, But you got to stop this don't you see your hurting the very place your trying to protect?"
realisation dawned in the dark haired boys' eyes, new tears formed behind those dark glasses, "I'm-I'm-- I'm Sorry I'm so Sorry, Please Forgive me." he Sobbed, the Glasses which he hid behind for so long, began to crack and slowly shatter. His robes began to shimmer and disintegrate before all that remained was the image of the boy seen everywhere in the real world.
Yolei began to hum a melody that her mother used to sing when she was a baby, its soft, comforting tone echoed in the large control room, she gently stroked the sobbing boys hair,and slowly his tears subsided. "I forgive you, Ken Ichijouji."
the control room door slid open and in walked, Kari, Cody, and the Digimon.
"Yolei! Are you alright?"
"Yeah i'm fine, I got through to him" she replied with a satisfied smile. Ken looked up saw his Digimon partner and dashed towards him scooping him into a tight hug,
"Wormmon i sorry can you forgive me, i didn't mean for it to turn out like this"
"I know ken and i forgive you but shouldn't you let the pretty girl out of the cage now?" Yolei blushed a little as ken unlocked the cage door and helped her down.
He glanced at the screens, horror showing in his eyes. Ken leapt to the nearest console and began tapping furiously, "Krimeramon Stand down! Return to your cell! Dammit! Its not listening to me anymore... We gotta help that Guy!"
Suddenly an explosion rocked the Base, an alarm wailed in the distance. "No!!" more rapid typing "We have to get out of here! The battle has cracked the power core! This Place is gonna blow in 5 minutes!"
"MAGNABLASTER!" Cried Magnamon, a hundred blasts of light flew from his arms and slammed into his opponet causing it to cry out in pain. The fight was going well. This new power was amazing, but Magnamon was getting tired. Not matter how much he hurt the beast it seemed to comeback for more!
BEEP-BEEP! Davis snatched up his D-terminal and skimmed the message, "Magnamon! This place is gonna explode! We gotta go now or we're Toast!" he yelled at his friend
"Great now I'm hungry!" called back the golden Digimon as he drop kicked Kirmeramon in to a wall stunning the beast. Using is jets he boosted towards his partner Grabbed his partner in his arms and shot down the corridors at like a bullet.
Left, right, right, left, down, left, right Magnamon took the turns at breakneck speed, "I see the exit Davis!" it was true up ahead was a gleam of daylight. But it was slowly getting smaller as a thick blast door slowly shut.
"FASTER, MUST GO FASTER!" Magnamon willed himself onwards.
"AHHHHH!! WERE NOT GONNA MAKE IT!!" Screamed Davis as Magnamon skimmed close to the floor.
A slight bump sent the duo tumbling down, gracelessly rolling them underneath the blast door. Davis felt Tai's goggles slide from his head and clatter to the floor. As soon as they stopped he glanced around spotting them underneath the closing blast doors, he dived reaching out, his fingertips gripping the band, pulling them out from their near crushing. "Whew! That was close!"
Suddenly he was pulled to his feet, "Glad you could join us Davis! But were not out of the woods yet!" Yolei shouted as they sprinted away from the exploding base.
They were about five hundred metres away when they were all thrown to the ground... BBBBBOOOOOOMMMMM!!
The heat was intense. The ground shook and the sky was lit up by fire. Rubble collapsed with the sound of a thousand drums.
Veemon returned in a flash of light, Davis dusted himself off "Is everyone OK?"
"Yeah we're all here..." said Cody eyeing ken still a bit mistrustful of him
"Thank you for coming to rescue me," Ken said "I never meant for this to happen"
"It's OK" Davis grunted, Kari nodded and Yolei patted him on the back.
"Uh Guys?" piped up Armadilliomon drawing their attention to the ruins of Ken's former lair. Some of the rubble was moving, upwards. Bursting out of the ruins with a deafening roar, Krimeramon, wings spread, jaws gaping, was silhouetted against the desert sun.
"NO WAY!" Shouted Davis, "Frankie is persistent," he turned to the group a serious look on his face "Does anyone have a giant fly-swatter?"
"No sorry," muttered ken "But Wormmon and I have something better..." ken looked at his partner, who simple nodded his affermation "please stay out of this. I created this monster, i should be the one to destroy it!"

"...yes-" she began
