Well welcome to the penultimate chapter of Davis's Tears, it's a dozy I warn you and is quite intense though after BlackWarGreymon's death I think it would hard to compare. Though things will get dicey and I promise you that you will be completely taken aback when the story ends. I really have to thank beast for this great plot twist which I will note at the end it really helps me progress the story very well in my personal fashion. There will be an epilogue that I will probably post with 20 or actually the day after so you guys will hopefully review both. I must warn you for the next thirty chapters things are going to get bad, of course I have to end happy, though it might not be the most pleasant thing you will read. I doubt I will change the second story Pain into a rating of M, though the thought that I could change it should tell you it won't be about ponies and rainbows (sorry guys). I will not make the characters OOC that I will do my very hardest to do. Though things are gonna get bad, and when things are get tough people lose hope (cept for TK of course but that's cause he is special not in a good or bad way) so I don't want you to think they are out of character they are just on a slippery slope, and EVERYTHING is on their shoulders. That can be tough when your 13. Though I will go into greater depth on this when I start Pain. My only last request is that I get 10 more reviews 100 reviews would make me so happy you have no idea. Thank you and that is all.

The sky sparkled with an array of lights, for his tears still fresh on his cheeks and coating his eyes, distorted his vision. The sun above him had a twin brother, and he constantly saw double of the trees around him. A kaleidoscope of images presented themselves to him, but he looked at the sky just as emptily as he looked at his homework. Smoke drifted with the wind and the blossoms from the trees still danced around him, mocking his pain for they were free and still he was not. He still lay there looking up at the world above him, still wondering why 'IT' had not killed him yet. He was just lying there and he had already made it quite clear that he knew Davis was an enemy, a simple flick of his wrist would be all it took to kill him. Though it seemed 'IT' cared as much as Davis did, which was absolute zero. He still waited wallowing in his own failure, for it was not just this battle that he had lost, it was a depressing realization that he had always been a failure. No matter what he had done in the end everything had come out bad.
Something hit his arm, hard, pain shot up and down though for whatever reason he did not care. He did not react; he simply laid there playing as dead as he felt. Though again the thing hit his arm in the same spot, and the pain was four fold, for not only was it in the exact spot, the thing hit him twice as hard. Try as he may he still could not hold back the grunt of agony that came out of his lips.
"You really think BlackWarGreymon gave his life for you so you could take a nap?"
Davis glanced over and saw Veemon standing over him winding up his leg for another kick in the arm. Jeez the little guy can kick hard, I should have never taught him to play soccer. Davis slowly got to his feet, unsteadily at first though adrenaline quickly woke his mind up. He looked out past Veemon and instantly saw 'IT' standing there, watching, waiting. Without warning anger shook his body, for he literally shook with hatred and disgust. He knew the feeling well, for it had happened a few times, though never on a level of extremity such as this. For a few moments he could not think he could not act he just looked over in pure abhorrence at his enemy. Then his mouth acted without even thinking.
"Veemon, it's go time" he said not taking his eyes off his enemy still staring him down.
"Wha…? Davis what are you talking about?" Veemon looked bewildered. Are you kidding me Davis if he beat out BlackWarGreymon cheating or not he obviously is more than a match for me with out Wormon and Ken. "What about Wormon and Ken? You can not seriously be thinking…." He stuttered looking back now with a mix of confusion and fear distorting his face.
"Ken obviously has better things to do" Davis spat. "So we go alone, its nothing new" he laughed almost mechanically. His mind was no longer in control of it self, all his pain his suffering, his tears had made its mark. For to long he had bottled up his emotions and finally hatred and insanity seemed to be taking over.
'IT' was getting in a ready stance; he seemed to know what was going on. A battle was on the horizon, a new foe was about to enter the game. Davis looked at Veemon and slowly withdrew his digi-vice from his pocket. Veemon watched Davis's hand intently, hoping, praying that it would stop. Though it did not and Veemon kept staring, almost for once hoping it would disintegrate right there. Maybe then Davis would see the madness. Though Veemon looked over from the Digivice to Davis's pain stricken face and saw something. He stared at Davis who stared back, just as intently, both of them rooted to the spot. And finally something clicked, and they understood each other. Veemon would do anything for Davis, and in Davis's mind this is what needed to be done.
"Let's do this, its payback time…" Davis growled. Veemon just nodded his head and turned about he also positioning his body in a ready stance.
"Veemon Digivolve to ….. EX-VEEMON!!" Ex-Veemon stood there in the same position he was in before his evolution. He spread his arms out and stretched his body out flexing his back and his biceps. Then he dug his feet in the ground and took off not even looking back at Davis. The two of them were on unspoken terms when it came to battling, Davis knew what his partner would do in any situation and there was no need for questioning strategy. 'IT' took off an instant after Ex-Veemon did at a similar speed, and Davis watched in awe. Ex-Veemon looked invincible for a second, their speeds were equal and Davis could not help, but to be jubilant to see that there might be a serious chance in winning this battle. Both foes drew their arms' up and just when a head on collision seemed inevitable their arms shot forward at unheard of speeds. Both aimed at the face of the other, yet all they met was the others fist and an earsplitting crack shot across the sky. Davis held his breath in amazement as the breeze from the force of the blow flowed over him, yet when the smoked cleared his stomach dropped from his throat back down to where it belonged. 'IT' had definitely been staggered by the blow, but it had done little too him for he slid back on his feet a yard or two. Though Davis glanced over to see his partner and grimaced, for he laid on his back some thirty feet away from where the fists had connected.
"EX-VEEMON" he yelled with a strong mixture of worry and anger. It was intended to be as a sign of worry, yet his tone had come out harshly and it sounded more as an order. Get on your feet and fight! rather than Are you ok?. Ex-Veemon slowly struggled to his feet and slowly shook off the dirt that coated him like a second skin. Davis could see he was having serious trouble raising his injured arm. Every attempt at movement caused him pain which was made clear by the sharp grunts of agony. He looked over at Davis unfazed empty, and Davis began to feel a pang of guilt. Though thoughts began to seep back into his head. His failure, he lack of being able to do anything.
Failure.
The pain hit him and began to overwhelm him and the all he could think of was his
Failure…
Though this time it was not met with tears of sadness for to many times…
Failure……
Had shaped his life he was, and in his eyes always would be a…
FAILURE…
They needed more strength more power they needed to show what they were truly capable of… to prove they were not a …
FAILURE……
Even if he had already failed himself he would never let them know that he truly was a…
FAILURE…
Finally when the pain reached its climax he screamed out in agony…
"EX-VEEMON DIGIVOLVE!!" his digivice began to vibrate uncontrollably. He gripped it with all his might though it began to actually physically hurt to hold onto it. The vibrating only intensified though and just as Davis was about to let go it stopped so suddenly he almost dropped it in shock. Davis glanced over at Ex-Veemon to see if anything had happened yet nothing though his digivice flashed in the corner of his eye. He quickly glanced over in surprise and watched as his digivice glow with an exceptionally eerie dark light. Though that dark light quickly was kicked out of the digivice and quickly and silently made its way over to Ex-Veemon. Everyone including 'IT' stopped to watch its progress as it made its way over ominously to Ex-Veemon. Though instead of connecting with him it stopped right in front of him almost offering itself up to the wounded digimon.
What is going on? First off Davis knows I can't Digivolve, I can not go ultimate with out a crest. Gatomon was after all of her experience and power, able to maintain her ultimate form for some period of time. What is with the orb too? I have never seen the Digivice spew out balls of light. Why is it purple, I'm blue what made it go purple? Finally why did it stop… Is it giving me a choice, what's going to happen if I interact with this thing…He looked over at Davis, and saw his partners steely gaze, then he shifted his gaze over to 'IT' who still stood there. I guess if we want to have a hope I have to take a chance with this thing. Though I can tell already its not going to be pretty…
Veemon reached out and grasped the soccer ball sized orb emanating a slow pulsating purple glow right at shoulder height to him. Though instead of a jolt of energy like he had expected a horrifying pain surged from the point where he touched the object and it flowed throughout his body. He screamed horribly for the pain was much more than he could bare for his hand was on fire and freezing at the same time. Though his hand stayed where it was for whatever reason he could not remove it, it was glued to the spot. Then with horror he noticed a change in coloration in his hand for what was once a deep proud blue now was the same, dark, pain filled purple of the orb. Yet it grew more and more infecting his body from his hand to his arm and then his torso. Though it frightened him to be changing colors parts of his body that were now purple were relieved of any pain. So now instead of fighting off the color change he welcomed the relief that it brought him. Quickly the purple filled him up deleting ever blue part in his body and making it seem like it never had existed. Though when it set once again he changed colors or rather depth for the purple became darker and darker still. Until it reached a color that you could really call black.
Veemon was taking aback and not recognizing his strength misjudged his footstep and actually made a large footprint in the concrete. He began to move around flexing his new stronger form, for he still was still Ex-Veemon, yet he realized he was at his maximum potential. He was the strongest he could possibly be in his champion form, something that would have taken years, no decades of training had evolved in sheer seconds. Though as he explored his mind he was strangely not taken aback by the thoughts that trickled through them.
That bastard is going to get it now, he will pay dearly for ruining our friend. HE WILL DIE. No die 10 fold for the things he has done. I will kill him and bring him back over and over so he can live through death until he understands what he has done. He longed to stick his hand through 'IT's' body and laugh as his life slowly faded away.
Davis looked over at the new Ex-Veemon, rather Black Ex-Veemon for now that was the color that represented him. A distant memory from some of the many teachings Tai taught came back. Something about dark digivolution, forcing a digimon to digi-volve when it physically could not often had disastrous consequences. Davis had even seen the mighty Skull-Greymon when Ken took Agumon under his control. Yet Ex-Veemon had only changed color so his thoughts were quickly calmed. He could not have become totally nuts, plus Skull Greymon had de-digivolved right after the battle. Maybe this was a good thing, a little uncontrolled chaos to mix things up, they would 'Dance with the Devil' as one would say. Toying with powers that were not meant to be used so they could get their vengeance . Davis blinked and gasped, Black Ex-Veemon was no longer where he was, the battle had already begun yet he did not know.
Now all he wanted to do was to test his new found prowess for he was amazed already at his strength and dexterity. He flew forward almost flying on the ground and saw his feet were making deep imprints in the ground from his strength and more amazingly he was making a wake with the air behind him. His fist flew forward light as a feather as it squarely hit his foe. The most impressive part was that he actually got his fist in there, 'IT' was very fast by anyone's standards. Though he flew backwards ducking underneath 'It's' counter attack and as he landed on his feet he shot off another attack.
VEE-LASER!!
The strength off the attack was astonishing, the sky around him flashed with black light and the attack took off in the shape of a V right at 'IT'. The attack may have been slow and 'IT' had plenty of time to block it still left its mark. Shooting 'IT' some 20 feet backwards his arms smoking where the attack had hit him. The impression it left on 'IT' was obvious One of us is not leaving here alive…
"PAYBACK TIME!!" Davis yelled. Ex-Veemon growled in agreement fist flying squarely hitting 'IT' in the face. 'IT' countered by sweeping his feet out trying to catch Ex-Veemon off guard yet Ex-Veemon much more agile jumped over it and in the same motion kicked upwards.
VEE-KICK!!
His attack once again got through 'IT''s gauntlets hitting just beneath the neck forcing 'IT' onto his back. Before 'IT' could react Ex-Veemon was already in the air his chest facing directly down on him.
VEE-LASER!!
VEE-LASER!!
VEE-LASER!!
Three massive attacks rained down on the digimon on the ground, though with unheard of speed he rose to his feet.
DRAGON CRUSHER!
His mighty gauntlet swept down slicing the first attack in half, as it separated around him and angling into the ground harmless. The second one swiftly followed and he greeted it with a roundhouse kick right into the center of it forcing it backwards into the third one and where they met a dazzling display of dark energy shot out. Smoke and pieces of concrete flew out everywhere blinding everyone including Davis who stood hundreds of yards away.
Ex-Veemon began his decent from his jump through the billowing cloud of debris. He heard a muffled yell from somewhere in front of him and just in time managed to put his arms out to block 'IT' spinning towards him, a tornado in his wake. He blocked off the initial attack yet the force of the blow was too great for him to hold him off for any period of time. 'IT' now with the advantage took Ex-Veemon's head in his massive arms and began to force him downwards head first into the ground. He held on till the last second and the let go pushing off as he landed squarely on his feet skidding backwards. Ex-Veemon was not nearly as lucky his head forcefully landing in the concrete on the wrong end of the submission toss. The crater was massive and Davis could not see if Ex-Veemon was alright.
That bastard has to pay, get UP Ex-Veemon FIGHT!! Fight for BlackWarGreymon, Fight for both worlds. WE DEPEND ON YOU DON'T LET US BECOME A FAILURE! WE WILL NOT FAIL!! Yet Ex-Veemon heard his cry.
"You will pay for what you have done!" he growled slowly getting to his feet. "You do NOT deserve to live"
Ex-Veemon braced himself in the concrete drawing up energy. 'IT' saw what he was doing and followed his actions. Ex-Veemon's chest began to glow with purple light, while a giant ball of red energy began to glow in 'IT''s hands.
TERRA DESTROYER!!
VEE-LASER!!
