Digimon
Darkest Knight
Chapter 6: Enter the Nightmare Soldiers
The highest mountain top of the digital world served as the meeting point for the digimon sovereigns, the guardians of the four gates of the digital world.
"Fellow guardians we are faced with a very real danger." Azulongmon said "One of the destined is growing in power and if left unchecked he could become a very real threat to us, he claims to be on the side of light yet walks in shadows."
"Aren't you being just a little paranoid?" Zhuqiaomon asked
"Or are you afraid that there is a being more powerful then bearer of light? That wouldn't look very good for you would it." Baihumon said in a growl like laugh
"I fear that Azulongmon maybe right," Ebonwumon "He is the barer of great darkness." "However I believe he will be necessary to combat the evil that will come." Ebonwumon's other head added "Our best option is to observe him and his actions before deciding what to do."
"Very well but if it appears he posses any sought of threat he must be destroyed." Azulongmon stated
"Fine but I still believe you're getting worked up about nothing." Zhuqiaomon said before the four of them went their separate ways
'Azulongmon seems pretty antsy about this.' Zhuqiaomon thought as he flew south 'Which could mean that the one he's worried about could be the predicted one. If that is true then we may not have much time left.'
Sora fumed as she made her way down the street, she been waiting outside the cinema for over an hour and still Matt hadn't shown his face nor had he bothered to call. A rumble of thunder was heard which was followed by droplets of water. She decided to take a short cut down an alley not knowing she wasn't alone nor did she notice the dark figure that was overhead.
"Hey babe, looks like you could use some company." Sora looked round and saw a three guys behind her
"No thanks, I'm perfectly fine." She replied
"Hey babe, you think you're too good to party with us?" before she could reply two of them grabbed Sora by the arms and pinned her against the wall as the third guy advanced towards her a predatory grin spread across his lips harbouring no illusion about what they were after as he concealed his intentions with all the subtlety of a dog on heat
"Please I don't have much money on me or anything of any value, I have nothing you could possibly want." Sora pleaded but it didn't make any difference what so ever as the guy traced his finger along her cheek whilst sliding his other hand under her skirt
"Don't worry babe you got all I need right here." he sneered and Sora let out a panicked yelp as one of his fingers brushed against her 'special area' he then followed this up by licking her face which caused her to scream he then back handed her
"Shut your face bitch." he growled he then pulled a butterfly knife out of his back pocket extended the blade and used it to slice Sora's shirt apart revealing her D-cup breasts that were held in place by her red silk bra.
"That's no way to treat a lady." Said a voice that seemed to come from the very shadows themselves, then a tall demonic figure stepped forth from the darkness its four red eyes glowing. A sword blade then shot out of the back of its right hand
"Hey miss, close your eyes." It said to Sora "Eyes as beautiful as yours shouldn't be tainted by what's coming next."
A small blush decorating her cheeks Sora obeyed and closed her eyes, what came next was the sound of steel and violent screams.
"It's alright now Sora." Opening her eyes she found the demon standing before her noticing its sword blade stained with blood before it retracted back into its arm
"Please…don't hurt me." She squeaked in fear and the demon placed a hand on her shoulder
"I don't harm the innocent." he replied as it wrapped his arms around her waist spread his wings and took flight.
The two of them flew threw the night air, the demon using its own body to shelter her from the rain, till they landed on the balcony outside Sora's room. The demon then released her and turned to leave
"Wait," Sora called out which caused him to turn around "I want to thank you for saving me but what do I call you?"
The demon regarded her then said one word before taking off into the night "Azrael."
"Azrael…" Sora opened the French window and entered when something occurred to her 'Wait, how did he know where I lived? How did he know my name?'
"Tai, Tai wake up." Yuko Yagami yelled as she pounded on the door "Tai, you can't keep avoiding school."
Silence was the only reply she got. She then sighed in frustration "This wouldn't happen if you didn't stay up all night. Fine, do what you like. I have to go to school with Kari today for this careers talk."
No reply came Yuko grunting in frustration Yuko wrenched open the door but to her surprise she found it empty. One would think that he might not have come back at all last night but she had heard him walk in around 2 am that morning and the messed up sheets were a sign that it had been slept in, she then recalled not seeing Gatomon that morning either.
Closing the door Yuko walked over to the front door where Kari was waiting "He's not going to school again, is he?"
"Let's just go." Her mother replied and the pair left.
"Oh my god." Mimi squeaked Sora had informed Mimi and Izzy about her encounter last night
"You sure that you should be coming to school today?" Izzy asked
"I'm sure." Sora replied
"You're saying this winged demon steps forth from the shadows, slays your attackers and carries you off into the night. It's romantic in a creepy gothic Bram Stoker way." Mimi said more to herself the two red haired teen shot an odd look at each other
"I don't know, are you sure what you saw wasn't some kind of digimon?" Izzy asked
"Fine don't believe me." Sora snapped "I know what I saw and I know Azrael is real."
"Hey chill out he didn't mean anything by it." Mimi stepping in between the two "So any sign of Tai yet?" she asked changing the subject as quickly
"No, shame I wanted another look at his digivice." Izzy replied
Sora sighed 'Tai, what's up with you lately. It's been weeks and you still haven't come to school, I hardly see you…'
"Sora." The sound of her name snapped her out of her thoughts and looking round saw the last person she wanted to see, Matt. "Hey babe." The blond said wrapping his arm around her and leaned in for a kiss but instead she shoved him away and slapped him across the face
"You have some nerve to act like that after what happened last night." She stated
"What are you talking about?" asked Matt confused "I waited outside that movie theatre for over an hour and you never showed, you didn't even have the nerve to call."
"Sora what are you talking about?"
"I'm referring to our date."
"Our…oh man, I'm sorry. I thought that was tonight."
"Izzy you tell this retard what happened, I'm not wasting any more of my time." Sora said before walking off with Mimi in tow
"What happened last night?" Matt asked turning to Izzy who then spent the next ten minutes explaining last nights events
"You can't keep doing this Matt, Sora was lucky that someone came to her aid but it may not happen next time. This keeps up then you two are done."
"I know, it's just the band…"
"Matt give it up, your band is dead in the water."
"All we need is one great song and we'll be back on top."
Izzy shook his head, Matt was still fighting a lost cause, the two of them were so caught up in their conversation they didn't notice the pair of vans that was parked out side the school.
"Hey Mimi Sora."
Looking round they saw Joe walking towards them only he wasn't alone as there was a girl with short brown hair which she had done up in panda ears and brown eyes (for anyone who can't picture it, she looks like the time skip version of Tenten from Naruto, I love her) who appeared to be attached to his arm
"Hey Joe," Mimi said cheerfully whilst Sora nodded at him "I didn't expect to see you here, shouldn't you have a class."
"Actually I'm free until this afternoon so I thought I'd come see you guys." Joe replied
"So who's your friend?" Sora asked
"Hi, I'm Junko." The girl replied "Joe and I are in the same class."
"Wait, are you his girlfriend?" Mimi blurted out which caused Joe to start stammering whilst Sora to slapped her forehead at her friends lack of tact Junko however didn't seem bothered, she raised herself up on her tiptoes wrapped her arms around Joes neck and kissed the blunette on the cheek.
The foursome then found a table and Joe and Junko told Mimi and Sora that they'd met at a party thrown by their teachers last Christmas and held a great deal of respect for one another however they'd only recently that they had begun dating. Sora stared at the pair and smiled she was happy for Joe that he'd found someone that made him happy, she couldn't help but like Junko and she got on very well with Mimi, the pair already making plans to meet up and go shopping.
"Hey Sora, tell Joe and Junko about what happened last night." Mimi said
"What does she mean Sora, did something happen to you last night?" Joe asked sounding worried. Sora spent the next few minutes telling them the events of the previous evening
"My god, you weren't hurt were you?" Junko asked to which Sora shook her head
"You mean to tell me that a creature that has supposedly been on a killing spree for several weeks, came to your aid last night before carrying you off into the night." Joe said
"Isn't it romantic." Mimi said a dreamy look on here face
"I guess, it does sound like something from a gothic romance novel." Junko said.
Sighing Sora looked at her watch "Mimi we better go, we have five minutes to get to homeroom and her royal bitchiness is just looking for an excuse to give me detention."
"Bye Joe, remember Junko the mall this Saturday at noon." Mimi said as she got up
"Wouldn't miss it." the pair then headed towards their respective homerooms.
The assembly was a large room, roughly 25' by 20 allowing enough room for each class from each year where they would stand before the principle and teachers to listen to some concern a teacher had or their schools latest sporting achievement (although they usually only heard about them when they lost).
Sora huffed as she stood there pretending she gave a rat's ass about how someone in the chess clubs was going to be playing in some competition, she was still pissed at Matt about last night and the way he'd acted that morning.
The assembly was just about to come to a close when the double doors at the back of the hall burst open and nearly two dozen men armed with various firearms rushed in two of them had Joe and Junko who immediately threw them to the ground
"Everyone on the ground now." A man carrying an AK 47 assault rifle yelled the principle was about to say something when he drew a nickel plated Dessert Eagle and pulled the trigger and second later there was a large hole where most of the principles face had once been
"As you can see this fires explosive rounds so unless you want to end up like your principle I suggest you cooperate and don't piss us off." He then turned to one of the others gunmen "Go to the security office, I wanna know the moment the cops show up."
The man bowed and exited as the leader walked got up onto the stage reached into the principles jacket and took his cell phone before kicking his body aside and pulled his own phone out of his pocket and began dialling "Hello, is it possible to speak with the chef of police…yes it is quite important…I can assure you I am not kidding around." He then placed his hand over the speaker and turned to one of his subordinates "Alright in 60 seconds detonate them." He then removed his hand from the speaker "In the next few minutes you'll no doubt receive reports of an explosion outside Odaiba Municipal High School. When you do be sure that the chief rings me on 08453020107 so we can chat."
He then hung up dropped the phone on the ground and crushed it under his foot. Seconds later an explosion was heard causing a panic amongst the people inside
"Alright, some of you search all the students and staff and take their cell phones, pagers PDA's and any other electronic crap kids these day use to talk to each other. The rest of you search the rest of this place and make sure we didn't miss anyone, you find anyone bring them here if they resist shoot them."
Nine of them exited the hall whilst the others began demanded that the students and staff hand over their cell phones fortunately Sora and the others were able to conceal their digivises and D-Terminals from them, not that it would help them. Just then the sound of a phone was heard and the leader of the gunmen answered the phone he'd taken off the principle
"Hello…ah so you decided to listen…alright as it seems you're in no mood for small talk I'll skip right to the point. My name is Lucious, and along with dozen heavily armed individuals have taken the population of Odaiba Municipal High School hostage, don't believe me listen to this." he then held the phone out in front of the scared students drew his gun and fired it into the air causing panicked screams
"Anyways I hang up now so you can be on your way. Oh and by the way were monitoring surveillance so don't bother assembling a SWAT team." He then hung up "Well now onto phase 2."
"…and that's basically what I do for a living. If any of you are interested and what further information send an e-mail to the address on the board and we'll supply you with all the information you need, thank you." Yuuko bowed as the room full of kids gave her a round of applause before she walked to the back of the class. Just then a beeping sound was heard
"I'm sorry, I told them not to call unless it was urgent." TK's mother, Natsuko Takaishi, said she then stepped out into the hall. The next speaker was about to begin when Natsuko's voice was heard "WHAT? Are you sure…when did this occur…I see…I'll be there as soon as I can."
The door of the classroom opened and Natsuko appeared in the doorway "Yuko could you step out into the hall, there's something you need to know and it is rather important." Confused Yuko nodded and stepped out closing the door behind her
"Yuko, I just received a call telling me that a bomb has just gone off at the high school." Yuko stared at the woman in front of her "I don't know any details but…" she was cut off when Yuko grabbed her arm
"Please tell me has anyone's been hurt, our children attend that school…" she stopped when she saw the look on Natsuko's face and looking round saw Kari TK Davis and Yolie standing there
"Mom." Kari said
"How much did you hear?" Natsuko asked
"Mom, what's going on, is Matt alright?" TK asked
"I…I don't know, I was only just informed about it." Natsuko answered "I just got a call from the network saying they want me to cover it so I'm heading over there now."
"So what are we waiting for lets go." TK said
"TK you're not coming." His mother stated
"But mom…"
"TK I realize you're worried about your brother and you want to help but there's nothing you can do. If you and your friends go there you'll want to play hero but what's happening was caused by people not those digimon, it's not your place to deal with this." Natsuko said
"Please Ms Takaishi you have to take us with you. I know there's nothing I can do physically to help but if I'm there I can at least offer my spiritual support to all those involve." Kari said
Natsuko sighed "Alright you can come. But no heroics, you leave this one to the police."
The four children nodded in agreement and they quickly made their way to Natsuko's car (which as you can imagine was rather cramped).
On the drive over Davis noticed TK was rather quite and a worried look on his face 'Poor guy but I can't blame him. I know we fight a lot but if Jun were in danger I'd feel the same way.' He placed his hand on the blonds shoulder
"Hey TS, don't worry I'm sure Matt's ok. He can sometimes be a jerk and a little self absorbed at times but he's one of the toughest guys I know. He'll pull through and so will all the others."
TK looked at him and a small smile appeared "Thanks Davis."
Tai stood there as the large once three headed hound leapt backwards "You are not a human, are you?" it asked
"Who knows? I'm not even sure myself." Tai replied as he replaced his sword onto his back
"Regardless, you have proved your strength. I acknowledge your ability. Take my soul and go forth. You have my blessing."
The creature's body began glowing and became an orb of light that floated over to Tai and transformed into a triple headed nunchuck bound.
"Too easy!" Tai muttered to himself as he attached his new toy to his belt the ice that surrounded him disappearing. He turned to look at the group of digimon who were gathered nearby "Well that was fun."
"Eh, not bad I suppose." Gatomon replied "I could have helped out but I decided to take a step back and let you handle it."
"Oh really, well aren't I the lucky one." Tai replied.
He'd woken up that morning with the plan of teaching B.B. how to fly, just as they were leaving they found Gatomon about to raid the fridge (although how was a mystery, given she was only 3' tall and had no thumbs), after telling her where they were going she had decided to tag along.
They then headed to the park, stopping to grab something from the local bakery, they sent a good few hours trying various methods to get the small avian to fly (short of climbing a very tall tree and throwing her off) and made some progress, B.B. could now hover 5' from the ground for 30 seconds.
It was then everything around them the temperature around them dropped and ice suddenly covered everything as well as four large pillars sprouted up from the ground and in a flash of light a large three headed dog covered in ice appeared chained to them. The battle had been trying as the ice that covered its body had acted as a pretty good shield meaning Tai had had to break through it in order to do any real damage. It was nearly noon now so they decided to take a break and get some lunch.
The five of them left the park and walked towards a parking lot where they found Sleipnir,a black motorcycle named after the Norse god Odin's eight-legged steed, but it was like no other on this planet (I'm can't describe it, basically it's Cloud's Fenrir motorcycle from Advent Children) it was the same model Tai had ridden when he was brainwashed by Ken, he didn't know how it had got here.
Tai climbed onto the machine then took out his D-Tector and called back Agumon and Guilmon before inserting the devise into the a slot in the bike, pressing a button on one of the handlebars two compartments opened up revealing several compartment which Tai inserted his sword into one and once B.B. and Gatomon were holding onto him tightly enough he placed his new custom goggles (they look like the ones Ichigo wears in the opening titles of BLEACH) over his eyes and fired up the engine performed a 180◦ turn and raced out of the park and onto the streets.
After a few minutes of riding around Tai came across a street vendor selling hotdogs ice cream and soda, knowing it was better then nothing and there it was parked outside a convenience store Tai stopped the bike and bought some milk from the store as well as four hotdogs from the vendor. Soon the five of them were reclining on a bench next to the vendors cart Tai Agumon Gatomon and Guilmon were busy eating whilst B.B. was happily sucking away on her bottle, The radio on the vendors cart had just finished playing Bleed it Out by Linkin Park (AN: awsome track) when it was cut off
-We interrupt this to bring you a special bulletin. Earlier it was reported that an explosion occurred outside Odaiba Municipal High School. Police have just informed us that the situation has escalated, revealing several armed men responsible for the explosion have broken into the school and are holding teachers and students hostage. It is unknown who they are or what they are after as of yet no demands have been made…-
The radio was suddenly drowned out by the sound of Tai's motorcycle racing away manoeuvring his way through the others vehicles on the road at almost breakneck speed never once slowing down. Racing along something red caught his eyes he slowed down and pulling over he saw a woman with red hair "Ms Takenouchi?"
The woman stopped and saw him "Tai?" she ran over to him "Tai…I just heard…an explosion…at the high school…Sora...she might be…" she gasped her voice shaking
"I know." He replied "Where's Renamon and Biyomon?"
"They…they went on ahead." Toshiko said
"I'm heading there now. Climb on, I can get you there a lot faster." Tai told her, adjusting her skirt the elder woman shakily climbed on instantly wrapping her arms around his waist "Hold on." He revved the engine a few times then set off again.
They arrived at the school in a matter on minutes, the police had closed the street no doubt so they could get emergency vehicles to the scene with a large crowd either side of the street. And to be honest he didn't care.
The police officers quickly got out of his way before they were flattened allowing him to sail past before skidding to a halt outside the gate the compartments opened up again and he removed his sword and placed it on his back Renamon and Biyomon then appeared next to them.
"Tai." Hearing his name being called he saw Kari running him "Kar!"
Just then Gatomon leapt into her partners arms "Kari, you have to protect me." Gatomon cried "Your brother drives like a maniac."
Tai gave the white feline a glare as he pulled the goggles around his neck it was then he noticed both his mother Matt and TK's mother ands Joes father as well as Gabumon Patamon Veemon Hawkmon and Gomamon
"Tai," his mother rushed past her daughter and pulled him into a bone crushing embrace "For once I'm glad you decided to skip school."
Tai managed to wriggle his way out of his mothers grip and get off his bike taking a moment to help Toshiko off. "What going on?" he demanded
"We, we don't know. As far as we know whoever's inside hasn't made contact in hours." Natsuko explained as she walked towards him "However I'm afraid the person in charge of this won't tell us anything."
Tai looked around and saw a police officer with grey hair and a moustache who was giving orders to a group of younger officers he then looked over at Joe's father "Why's he here, I though Joe went to another school?"
"He does but he said he was free till this afternoon so he told me he was going visit his friends here. When I heard about this I immediately called his school but they told me he never arrived and I tried to call him but he's not picking up."
Tai shook his head then focused on the person he assumed was in charge "So what have you been able to find out, is there any way we can get in there?" the man was saying
"It's not good sir. The whole building is wired by security cameras located in just about every room in the building." The officer reported "There is however one blind spot but I'm afraid it's not an option."
"Any why not?"
"The only place not wired for security is the clock tower sir. There's no way we'd be able to get a chopper close enough to it." the chief began cursing his luck however the information just given had not fallen upon deaf ears
"Tai do you think everyone inside will be alright?" Kari asked however she received no reply looking around she saw Tai was gone and so had Renamon Sora's Biyomon Veemon and Gatomon, finding BB who was holding onto her leg.
The door leading to the roof of a large building opposite the school opened and Tai stepped out onto it and walked over to the ledge. He knew this was a long shot, he didn't even know if he'd make it, however it was the only shot he had.
"I take it this is your big plan." Looking round he saw Renamon Biyomon Veemon and Gatomon standing there
"I not asking you to come with me Renamon, or any of you for that matter." Tai stated
"Are you even a hundred percent sure you can make it?" Veemon asked
"Nope." Tai replied
"You can't expect to do this on your own, going by yourself would be suicide." Gatomon stated
"Yeah well I'm not like other people." Tai shot back
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Biyomon asked
"It means I don't have to explain nor defend myself to anyone." Tai said turning his attention back on the clock tower "I was created to be the ultimate soldier, remember."
He then turned away from the ledge then walked passed them and kept till he was three yards away from the ledge. He took a deep breath took another three steps backwards then charged forward he stepped off the ledge and for a moment was floating in mid air before he slammed his feet into the side of the building launching himself and sailed over the heads of everyone below hearing cries of a few people down below however he paid them no mind. The wall of the tower grew closer and closer although he was no where near the small window at the top, but he wasn't worried as he wasn't aiming for it. What he was aiming for was the hands of the clock that at the moment pointed to 12:10, he grabbed hold of the minute hand planted his feet against the wall and launched himself upwards through the window and handed gracefully in the clock tower.
He took his D-Tector and released Agumon and Guilmon just as Renamon appeared beside him carrying Veemon Gatomon and Biyomon
"Show off." She said then without warning she stumbled Tai caught her and she began breathing heavily
"What's wrong with her?" Biyomon asked
"She just a little drained, the more people she has to transport the more energy she uses up." Tai explained he then placed her on the floor with her back against the wall "Don't worry, she should be fine in a few minutes."
Just then the sound of No More Sorrow by Linkin Park was heard (AN: Another awsome track) Tai reached into his jacket and answered his phone "Yeah."
–Tai, where are you?-
"Kari?"
–Yeah it's me, are you safe?-
"For the moment, I'm in the bell tower. I'm gonna need your assistance On this, is it safe to talk freely?"
–I think so?-
"Can you find out where main security facility for this place is?"
–I'll try.- she then hung up there was then ten minutes of silence before his phone went off again however it wasn't his sister on the other end of the line
"Who is this?" Tai demanded
–Look kid, I don't know how you got in but you better quit whatever game your playing at and leave this to the professionals.-
"I don't play games, especially when peoples lives are on the line." Tai retorted "If you want to make yourselves useful find out where main security facility for this place is, cos the way things currently so go barging you'll end up killing a bunch of innocent people in the process as well as these Al Qaeda wannabies. I'm your best choice if you don't want tomorrow's headlines to be: high school massacre due to police incompetence."
There was silence –Top floor, its located in the north east corner next to the elevator.-
Tai hung up and put his phone away "Ok I'm moving out. I'm giving all of you a chance to back out now and I suggest you take it cos this is the only one you'll get." None of them took it. The seven made their way down the stairs of the clock tower Renamon being supported by Guilmon, upon reaching the bottom they found the door locked Tai kicked it off its hinges as he was in no mood to be subtle, they began hurrying along the corridors. They were just about to round a corner when the sound of voices caught their attention, motioning for them to get against the wall Tai drew his guns and listened closely to their conversation hoping for anything he could use to get everyone out safely
"Tai, you aren't seriously going to use that?" Agumon asked
"You really think these people won't hesitate to kill us." Tai replied "This is kill or be killed, there's no time for the moral high ground. Besides these guys gave up their right to be treated humanly when they decided to hold a room full of high school kid's hostage."
He then moved from his spot and saw two men both with automatic weapons "Hey you."
One of them shouted as he opened fire at Tai who instantly vanished and reappeared if front of them in midair (Air Trick), he then slammed a foot into the faces of both men a red flash appeared which Tai seemed to kick off of causing him to zip through the air several feet before landing on the ground (Dash) both men then fired on his however Tai was able to deflect the bullets using Prop Shredder.
Tai then threw his sword at one of the gunmen plunging it deep into him with enough force to knock him off his feet and pin him to the opposite wall (Sword Pierce). Tai then used Air Trick again appearing in front of the other gunman and knocked him to the ground using a combo punch and kicks. Tai then pulled out his guns and began shooting the guy mercilessly which was followed unleashing a devastating kick that sent the guy in the air (Wild Stomp), at the same time Tai held out his hand and his sword dislodged itself from its victim and flew into Tai's hand.
It then began glowing with red energy which was then unleashed in the form of a brutal lunge forward skewing the man, who all this time had been suspended in mid-air, (Drive) who then went crashing to the ground in pool of blood.
Hearing a gasp Tai saw Agumon Biyomon Gatomon and Veemon staring at him in disbelief whilst Guilmon and Renamon looked indifferent "Tai…how…" Agumon chocked out
"Let's get something straight, I'm no hero." Tai replied as he sheathed his sword on to his back "Let's go, the more time we waste means a higher chance that Sora and the others won't survive the day."
Nothing was said after that but on the plus they didn't run into anyone else and soon they were in the elevator headed for the top floor, one they were there it didn't take them long to find the security centre. Inside they saw a man sitting in front of the security monitors and judging by the shotgun he had on the desk he was one of the terrorists
"Renamon, think you can get his attention?" Tai asked
"What do you mean think." Renamon said with a huff before disappearing a smirk appearing on Tai's face as he heard a cry from inside the room as well as Renamon's voice "Hey there big boy."
The man then came flying through the door who was then grabbed by Tai and thrown against the opposite wall. Renamon threw Tai the shotgun e them long to find the main security facility who then unleashed multiple stabs similar to his Stinger move (Gun Stinger), with the gun placed firmly in the man's guts Tai pulled the trigger creating a blood pattern on the wall then searched the corpse for more shotgun ammo.
Emerging from the control room Renamon noticed Agumon Biyomon and Veemon looked pale whilst Gatomon looked slightly green "I suggest you get used to it, there's going to be a lot more blood before the day is through."
Strapping the shotgun to his back Tai walked past Renamon and looked at the monitors taking note of the number of patrols that were spread out through out the school as well as the assembly hall, from what he could see there was only six other people on patrol which were all concentrated on the ground floor near the assembly hall however in the hall itself there was at least twenty armed people. With that done he set about killing all the security cameras
"Ok everyone's being held in the assembly hall and there's six people on patrol around that area, we hit them first then we deal with the hostages." He told them as he led them back to the elevator. Between the seven of them they dealt with the patrols very quickly and made their way towards the hall.
Inside the air was thick with fear and anticipation, when would the police get in contact? When were they going to be released? Were they going to die? Sora sat on the floor her back against the wall amongst a group of students who all looked terrified she couldn't blame them, here she was a digidestined who'd seen god knows how many battles and she was also scared. Then again she'd never actually been the one fighting, it was Biyomon and the other digimon who did all the fighting whilst she and the others stood on the sidelines watching.
"Hey Sora." She heard her name being hissed looking to her right she saw Matt who was inching his way over to her side "Look I'm sorry about last night, guess things have been pretty hectic lately what with Tai and all the digimon showing up."
"Yeah, guess they have." She replied refusing to look at him
"Look Sor, if we get through this maybe…maybe we should take some time to cool off." Matt said
"Are we breaking up?" Sora demanded
"No, its just…I think we should take a step back and…review our relationship. Then afterwards we could start afresh. Like a do over." Matt suggested
'What's he suggesting, does he really believe that our relationship isn't strong enough to survive?' She turned and glared at him whilst he stared at the floor
"It's just I'm leaving after next summer and I want to know that our relationship can survive us being apart and if it can't I'd at least settle for being able to look back on our remaining time together and not feel bad about what could have been."
Sora couldn't believe what she was hearing, she wanted to believe him that they could start over and things could be like they were in the beginning…"Matt. I'm sorry."
"What about this morning you don't have to, it was my fault."
"Not about that, well yes I do actually, I…"
The doors at the back of the hall swung open and in walked a figure dressed head to foot in black with a large sword strapped to its back, he then pushed some hair out of his eyes several gunmen then opened fire.
Smirking Tai grabbed Cerberus off his belt and began spinning it both around in front and then around himself so fast the weapon was almost a blur then suddenly a large ball of ice appeared around Tai then when they ceased the ice ball shattered revealing Tai to be unharmed (Ice Age) Tai then used Air Trick to escape and reappeared in front of Lucious delivering a punch to the gut,
"Hey, get away from the boss freak or I'll fill ya ass full of lead." One of the gunmen yelled this however never happened as a yellow fox appeared before him and kicked him in the face breaking his nose, a growl was heard and Guilmon rushed into the hall his eyes viral, he charged forward and rammed into one of the men
"Why you…" one of them prepared to open fire "Rock Breaker…" flames appeared around one of Guilmons's hands then slashed at his opponent slicing his gum to ribbons the guy stood their in disbelief but wasn't given anytime to reflect on it
"Pepper Breath…" "Spiral Twister…" a small fire ball surrounded by a tornado of green flames slammed into the man sending him crashing to the ground, something white then rushed passed them and ran straight at Lucious
"Lightning Paw…" Gatomon sliced her claws across the mans face
"Agh, my face." Lucious snarled as blood oozed from his face "You mangy flea bag." He then kicked Gatomon sending her crashing to the ground
"Gatomon." Agumon cried as he watched Gatomon cough up some blood "You bastard."
Lucious grinned as he pulled out his gun "They say cats have nine lives, let's find out if its true." Just then something blue and white rushed past and slammed into his gut
"Vee-Headbutt…" Veemon then leapt into the air "Vee Kick…" he then kicked the man so hard it sent him flying several feet before crashing to the ground if there had been a wall behind him he would have no doubt gone through it
"You alright?" the blue dragon asked
"Yeah, I could have handled that but thanks for the assist." Gatomon replied getting to her feet "I guess I gonna have to treat you to some wong tung noodles later."
"Wow Gatomon and noodles, can this day get any better." Veemon cheered.
Tai meanwhile was still dishing out the hurt with Cerberus. Striking the ground he created a wave of ice impaling one of the gunmen on a large icicle (Crystal), by now there were only ten of them left. A bullet then came past him ear looking over his shoulder he saw a woman with short black hair bi coloured eyes and a small scar running across her nose holding both a pistol as well as an Uzi, turning to face her he put Cerberus away and drew his own guns
"Well that was quick." He said a mocking smile on his face she then fired at him with both weapons and he leaned out of the way of each shot. He then tapping his guns against hers knocking their aim at the ground
"Y'know we don' have to do this. How about you drop the weapons we get out of here catch a movie maybe some dinner." He said
"Ooh tempting but I think I'd rather just shoot you." She replied then placed his arm around hers when she tried to aim at him again and raised the aim towards the ceiling unleashing a hailstorm of bullets taking out some of the lights before then back down at the ground
"Ooh, I love a fast woman." He said in a cocky manner
"Shut up!" she spat back.
Pulling her arm out of his grip she fired at him shooting him in the head and for the digidestind time seemed to slow as they watched him fall to the ground whilst the woman stood there smirking. The whole thing was cut short when Tai rolled over and got up
"Ow." He said rubbing his forehead as he turned and faced the woman "What the hell was that for? Here I am trying to help you and you show your thanks by shooting me, you have any clue how much that stings?"
The woman was so in shock she didn't react when he delivered a slammed his foot into her gut and followed by shooting her in the shoulder "I'm beginning to think I've got rotten luck with women."
He looked at Agumon "Agumon, you Guilmon and the others get the rest of these people out of here. I can the rest of these clowns."
"You sure?" Gatomon asked
"I'm sure now get moving." Tai ordered Renamon appeared at Tai's side "I can't find Sora."
"Then she must of got out already. Help the others and make sure Guilmon behaves himself, we don't need him losing it and killing the people were trying to save."
His digimon companions began rounding up the remaining students and staff that remained in the hall (the others having escaped after Tai and the digimon made their entrance) and ushering them to exit leaving Tai and the remaining terrorists
"You got shot in the head and got back up again. What the hell are you?" Lucious demanded
"Worse then all your nightmares put together." Tai replied red lightning coursed round his body which created a mighty pulse of light as Tai let out an inhuman roar and when it died standing there was a large demonic creature with large wings and four blazing red eyes sword blades shot out of the back of its hands.
The gunmen stood there rooted to the spot their eyes wide with fear, it was unsure who but one of them opened fire the others following suit the demon however smirked and disappeared then reappeared behind one of them and drove its blade through his chest before using the corpse as a shield from the others bullets.
The following massacre was brutal the remaining terrorists brought down by either blade or red lightning, till only Lucious remained.
"Why are you here? Tell me before I send you to hell." Azrael demanded as he grabbed the man by his throat
"Please…spare me I'll tell you. We were hired, some guy paid us to hit this place…he never told us why and we never asked questions co he paid us a shit load of cash." Azrael glared at him
"Now I'll kill you." He was about to impale the man when something grabbed hold of his arm "Please don't."
Azrael growled but got a surprise when he found Sora who'd grabbed hold of his arm and Mimi who was standing behind her a look of shock and fear on her face "Please stop, you don't have to kill him. You don't have to kill anymore."
Azrael stared at her and felt the he beast inside him release its hold on him, for now anyway. Retracting his blade he turned his focus on Lucious and head butted him leaving him dazed before reverting back to Tai his hair face and jacket caked in blood.
"Sora…I'm sorry…I'm sorry you had to see me like that." he said turning his gaze away from her
"Tai…"
"Monsters like me don't get to play hero. It won't let me."
She stared at him confused then remembered what Renamon said before BlackGrowlmon showed up
"Tai be careful. You have to control yourself, you can't take the risk of letting him out of his cage."
Tai slung the unconscious woman over his shoulder and dragged Lucious by his collar Sora and Mimi following behind, the three of them walking in silence
'What did he mean by 'it won't let me'? He seemed totally different to how he was last night.' Sora thought as they approached the doors of the main entrance and found themselves bathed in sunlight greeted by their friends families and digimon.
Ignoring these Tai threw the two terrorists to the police
"Keep him away from me." Lucious cried out which caught everyone's attention "That kid, he's the devil." The man kept yelling till someone came along with a syringe and injected him with something rendering him unconscious.
Just then he heard the familiar sound of Guilmon growling and looking round saw the familiar sight of a digital gateway opening up, from it emerged two giant creature who were unfamiliar to them, one was a blue squid like creature its whole body looking as though it was made of tentacles as well as a pair of red wings on it back whilst the other sported a pair of large and a grey body as well as wearing a pair of leather pants a gold horned mask on its face whilst three more appeared on the roof of the building all of whom were familiar to the digidestined LadyDevimon SkulSatamon however it was the one in the middle that made everyone uneasy as this one was very familiar sporting a blue suit red cape red mask and blond hair, Myotsmon.
"Oh no." Tai said "Dragomon NeoDevimon SkullSatamon LadyDevimon and Myotismon."
"Tai who are they?" Kari asked
"Five of the six members of Ken's elite guard the Nightmare Soldiers." He replied
"What are the Nightmare Soldiers?" Mimi asked
"Death." Tai replied
"Well done Lord Yagami, very well done." Myotismon sneered giving him mock applause
'Lord Yagami?' was the general thought amongst the present DD's,
"You're the ones who hired this scum to hit this place, aren't you." Tai demanded
"Wow, can't get anything past you." SkullSatamon said letting out a mad cackle.
Then without warning a vortex appeared in front of the entrance, from it emerged a figure dressed in black and red armor and also had seven eyes on it, red eyes were visible through gags in the helmet as well as long blond hair.
All the digimon quaked in fear of the sight of him "No not him." Patamon squeaked in fear
"Patamon, what's wrong?" TK asked "Who is that?"
"Duskmon." The rodent like creature replied.
Duskmon glared at Myotismon "Lord Duskmon please I…"
"Save it you will pay dearly for this act of treason vampire." He then turned his focus on Tai
"Well isn't this a surprise, it seems we have a reunion on our hands."
"Tai, what's he talking about?"
"Oh Lord Duskmon is just reminiscing about the good old days when we used to spread terror across this world." LadyDevimon said smiling sadistically "Ask Lord Yagami he knows all about it, after all he used to be one of us."
This sent a shockwave of confusion and fear amongst
'Could this be true, I mean Tai did say he served Ken when he was brainwashed.' Sora thought.
"Well enough with the pleasantries, let's get down to business." Myotisemon said his eyes never leaving Tai "LadyDevimon hand me Lord Yagami's gift."
A swam of bats appeared from nowhere and flew towards LadyDevimon swarming around her before dispersing revealing she cradling something in her arms wrapped in a blanket which she handed to Myotisemon who then prodded it roughly several times with one of his clawed fingers till whatever it was began wailing
"Ah that's better," the vampire digimon said before walking to the edge of the building "I was wondering Lord Yagami: How highly do monsters value the lives of their offspring?"
With a smirk he then dropped the crying bundle over the edge, in the same instant Tai used Air Trick and reappeared running up the side of the wall running towards the falling bundle catching it before kicking off the wall, looking at the bundle he saw a familiar pair of crimson orbs staring back at him
"Hey…shhhh…shhh…it's ok, daddy's here now." He cooed rocking the baby gently
"How touching." From nowhere Duskmon appeared above him his blood red blades extended Tai quickly drew his own blade and the two parried strikes whilst all the while descending to the ground then without warning Tai vanished a black blur (Dash) and reappeared on the ground breathing heavily as Duskmon landed only meters away from him.
The others ran over to his side, Tai then drove his sword into the ground and handed a confused Sora the baby "Here hold her."
He then removed his jacket and threw it to Davis and pulled his sword from the ground
"Lord Duskmon…do you wish us to assist you?" NeoDevimon asked
"No, I can handle this." the dark warrior replied "You disappoint me Taichi."
"And what does that mean?" Kari asked
"You know that you don't belong with them, for like us you walk in darkness and no matter how hard you try you will never be welcomed into the light. All that power and you don't even know how to unleash it."
"What do you mean?" Tai asked
"I'm talking about your left arm, the Devil Bringer."
Tai gritted his teeth and both of them prepared for battle "Get back, this is my fight, don't get involved." Tai growled to the other DD's as red lightning coursed round his body, both warriors then charged one another their swords meeting pushing one another back to everyone surprise/horror as a single black demons wing had appeared on Tai's back. Using his new appendage Tai glided towards Duskmon their blades meeting again Tai then leapt into the air twisting over his opponent whilst Duskmon spun round their swords meeting again. Both of them leapt skywards swords striking as the ascended five meters off the ground where they seemed to hover before pushing the other away again and charging the other once more leading to another flurry of sword strikes. Backing off slightly Tai charged forward and attempted to slash at Duskmon who dodged by ascending once more "What's wrong Taichi, has the beast lost fangs." Tai snarled and raced upwards after him their swords meeting once more.
From the top of the building the rest of the Nightmare Soldiers watched
"Well this is dull." Dragomon complained
"No joke, perhaps we could take this opportunity to show these fools why we were feared throughout both worlds." SkullSatamon suggested
"Do as you wish just don't get in the way." Myotisemon replied grinning manically LadyDevimon and SkullSatamon leapt from the rooftop towards the remaining digidestined, at the same moment Tai's digivise flared into life
AGUMON, DIGIVOLVE LIGHT MODE….GEOGREYMON
GUILMON, DIGIVOLVE TO…GROWLMON
Both giant dinosaurin creatures roared once their transformation was complete
"Mega Burst…" "Pyro Blaster…" a stream of fiery energy was fired from GeoGreymon's mouth whilst Growlmon fired off crimson fireballs which struck the two evil digimon but due to them being ultimate level the level of damage to them was relatively low.
Meanwhile Myotisemon continued to watch as Tai and Duskmon continued to lock swords 'I believe now is the appropriate time.' Under his breath he began muttering something.
High above the battle between Tai and Duskmon raged when a strange pillar of light emerged from the sky trapping Tai inside "What I hell?"
'It seems I'm going to have a few words with that overgrown leech.' Duskmon thought he retracted one of his blades that the 'head' morphed into a hand which he plunged into Tai's chest pulling out a shining red orb as blood oozed from the open wound and the wing on his back disintegrated into blood
"If I remember correctly you need this to help keep the beast inside you in check. I wonder, will those fools still accept you when they get to see the true demon inside of you?"
All Tai could do was grunt in pain as his vision began to fade his sword fell from his grip and he and it fell to earth.
At the same moment the orb was ripped from Tai's chest GeoGreymon and Growlmon reverted back to Agumon and Guilmon SkullSatamon and LadyDevimon cackled with glee
"Vile Wing…" "Nail Bone…" LadeyDevimon struck Guilmon in the chest with her razor sharp claws whilst SkullSatamon did the same with his staff to Agumon sending them both plummeting to the ground Guilmon slamming into the hood of a police car whilst Agumon fell onto the windshield shattering it
"Guilmon."
"No Agumon." Renamon and Biyomon cried as they dashed over to the large dinosaurids sides both of whom were unconscious.
The sound of something hitting the ground caught people's attention and saw Tai's sword embedded in the ground which was then followed by something else kicking up a cloud of dust and hen it cleared the digidestined couldn't help but stare in horror when they saw it was Tai.
After a moment of shock the paramedics sprung into action and ran over to the young mans side.
The baby in Sora's arms began crying again, unsure of what to do Sora gazed upon the child her eyes widened when she saw the child had red hair.
AN Fiiiinaly chapter 7 is fini, sorry it took forver to post. I watched the Devil May Cry anime which was cool and was a major help inspiring me to get back to writting this plus Data Squad/Savers can now be viwed in English although I'm pissed that they changed Diamon's to Marcus, should have stuck with his Japanese name. Oh by the way for those of you who are fans of Naruto, I have taken my first stab at Naruto fiction so if your a fan please check it out and give me some feed back. Well we've met the enermy and things should start getting intreseting, Agumon and Guilmon are out. What did Duskmon mean by "The true demon inside of you." How will Sora cope knowing Tai's secret and how will she handle possible motherhood? Tai now hovers on the border of death. What will happen, to find out keep reading. Till next time keep showing support for my work by reading and sending me reviews, next time later y'all.
