Ok, ok, I was really sad from the events of the previous chapter, but here we go! To… S.A's END?
Yep, it is true! I know it's really shocking…
DarkAkumon/DA: HEY, YOU, AUTHOR! HOW MANY MILENNIUMS WILL IT TAKE FOR ME TO APPEAR? Hurry or I'll kill you! =(
Me: I know how to counter you DA! MUAHAHAHAHHA! =]
RageDevimon/RDvm (YAY! HE'S BACK! But not in this fic xD): Hey, DA! Bet you really like this!
DA: NO, NOT THAT…! THAT'S MY WEAKNESS! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(DA's weakness will be revealed in the fic later on xD)
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon & its characters, for the exception of my OCs (Original Characters): DarkAkumon (Which will appear later on the fic), SereneAngewomon & FighterAngemon.
Chapter 6 – "The Light Will Always Prevail! S.A's Sacrifice"
Hikari: Takaishi-san… Thanks, but, you're the one who bought this expensive meal… You should at least have a share of it…
Natsuko: Oh, no, no! It's all yours. The price of it doesn't matter to me. C'mon, it's all yours!
Hikari: Arigato! [eats her meal]
Natsuko: Say, Hikari… How do you feel right now? Not feeling any weird lately?
Hikari: Nope, not at all! I'm very fine, Takaishi-san, so don't worry about me now!
Natsuko: Very well! I'm happy for you, Hikari!
Hikari: [looks at the TV] Huh…? L-look at that, Takaishi-san!
Natsuko: Is that true?
~ o ~ o ~
News reporter: It's the evil S.A. on the loose yet again after days of being unheard! She's running wildly & seems to be searching for something! Or, someone… And, l-listen! She's saying something…
Fake S.A: Child of Light… Hrr! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!
~ o ~ o ~
Hikari: H-hey! She's talking to us, the real S.A, the Warrior of Light!
Natsuko: So that's why she looks so emotionless & evil when she confronted me! I won't forgive her for using your clean image in doing evil for others!
Hikari: Don't worry, I'll really confront that fake S.A this time! And I'll defeat her once and for all! [gets out of the hospital bed]
Natsuko: Hikari, wait! [holds Hikari's hands] You can't fight her in your condition. Wait until you have completely recovered…
Hikari: B-but! Oh, well… I understand. Thanks again, Takaishi-san.
Natsuko: Hmm, Hikari… Since we've been so close since you helped me… Do you want to call me "Okaasan"?
Hikari: E-EH? But, I'm not your child! Only Takeru-kun & Yamato-san can call you that!
Natsuko: Hahaha! Don't you understand? I treated you as if you're my very own child too…
Hikari: Really…? Hahaha! If so… Then I'll call you as I like, Okaasan! [hugs Natsuko]
Natsuko: You & Takeru sure had a lot in common… He's like that to me too…
Hikari: Yeah… I notice him too…
…Sigh, I miss my family…
Natsuko: O-oh… But you'll recover soon! You will get to see them after your recovery.
Hikari: But, I know they won't accept me as they know that I'm the evil S.A…
Natsuko: …I'll help you with that. I'll do my best to convince them that you're good, and that S.A. we saw on TV was merely a fake!
Hikari: I don't know what to say… You've done so much for me, Okaasan…
Natsuko: Well, mothers do everything for their child's sake, as I am to you! Now, take a rest… [lays Hikari back on the bed]
Hikari: Thank you… [smiles at Natsuko]
~At Dusk, Yagami Residence~
It was very peaceful & quiet as always, but not as before when Hikari was still residing with Taichi & her parents…
Taichi: Hikari… I saw you on the news again… What are you up to now…?
Yuuko (Taichi & Hikari's mother): [knocks, tries to open the locked door] Taichi? Are you okay? You've been acting like this when Hikari became evil…
Taichi: You don't just understand, Okaasan. It just hurts thinking that Hikari IS the evil S.A…
Susumu (Taichi & Hikari's father): Are you sure that's Hikari? I don't really understand what's going on, actually…
Taichi: Never mind… I'll just stay here to worry about her.
Yuuko: Oh, Taichi… You were that worried of her… Just make sure that Hikari won't do anything bad to you upon her return!
Susumu: Hey, Hikari's not like that! You know our innocent daughter well, of course… She wouldn't do such things like the massacre, if the news I've heard is correct.
Yuuko: Hmm… You have a point there… But we're not so sure about that…
~Midnight, At the Hospital~
Hikari & Natsuko were sleeping soundly in the cold breeze of the wind… But suddenly…
Fake S.A: I've caught you off-guard, at last… Now, let me get S.A's Digi-Spirit & copy all her abilities which were corrupted in my memory circuit… [reaches out to Hikari's D-3]
Natsuko: [wakes up] H-huh…? Hey, don't dare get that! [hits the fake S.A's hand, gets the D-3]
Fake S.A: What? You human…! You're that meddler that I've poisoned using my arrow! How did-
Natsuko: This TRUE S.A. here by my side healed me even if it takes for her to lose all her energy that will be given to me!
Fake S.A: What the…? Hey, that creature beside you is merely deceiving you! She's the fake one, I tell you!
Natsuko: Let just see about that… [tries to wake Hikari up] Hikari! T-the fake S.A's here!
Hikari: …Nani? What are you doing here, you hypocrite?
Fake S.A: You're the hypocrite, not me! Hmm, I shall finish that human first for my revenge…!
Hikari: I won't let you hurt Okaasan in any way! Digi-Spirit Evolution! SereneAngewomon!
S.A [as the Digi-Spirit]: Hikari, be careful! Remember that Metamormon is stronger than we are! He adds his original form's power to our form's power he copied, so he's not to be taken easily!
S.A: (Gotcha… Thanks for the reminder!) [hastily goes in front of Natsuko, protecting her]Hrr… Get away from Okaasan! She's not related in our fight, so why should you hurt her?
Fake S.A: You…! That human is not worth dying for! She doesn't have power to fight like us, see?
S.A: That's what you think, but even though humans don't have such powers, they help others in need, like what Okaasan did to me! So don't dare do anything to her, or else…
Fake S.A: Silence! Let's duel… To know who's the real deal! I shall defeat you then to prove that I'm right!
S.A: Hmph, if that's what you want, I'll prove to everyone that Digimons like you will never win! Let's do this outside, the shape-shifting METAMORMON!
Natsuko: So that's the true name of that Digimon! It has the ability to copy other Digimons, that's why he it managed to use S.A's image exactly how the true S.A. looks & moves!
S.A: Okaasan, please, stay in a safe place! I'll take care of this Digimon once and for all!
Natsuko: B-but please, don't let yourself get into serious danger… But I know you can do it! Take care, Hikari!
S.A: I will, Mother! I'm off now! [goes out of the window, chases the fake S.A]
~Late evening, Odaiba streets~
Everyone heard about the 2 S.A's appearing in town, and the residents quarreled over their guess of the real S.A, either the good one or the evil one. But aside from that, they still decided to watch the fierce clash between the two of them…
Man: T-two S.A's! Is this even possible?
Takeru: S.A's here? Yamato-san, wait here!
Yamato: H-hey, you'll Spirit Evolve again? Don't let yourself fooled by one of those S.A's! For sure, one of them will be the evil one, so be ready!
Takeru: Got it, Oniichan… [runs in a dead end] Digi-Spirit, Evolution! FighterAngemon!
~ o ~ o ~
Fake S.A: Hmph, now this is the time I'll take you down, IMPOSTOR!
S.A: Don't try to fool the others… Because you're just nothing but a HYPOCRITE! You can't do anything to prove that you're the true S.A!
Fake S.A: Tsk, tsk, tsk… Let's make a deal: The one who wins in our fight IS THE TRUE S.A! That's fair enough… [shows an evil smirk]
S.A: N-no… It's too unfair! The true one cannot be decided by that! You're just scared, you know that?
Fake S.A: Hrr… The true S.A ISN'T the weak one the people know, right? So prove it, if you can! [attacks Hikari]
S.A: A-aagh…! I… I won't give up… I know that you have more power, but… That wasn't being a warrior all about…
Fake S.A: W-what are you saying…?
Taichi: Hikari! Don't let yourself be defeated by that evil S.A! I don't know who of the two of you the true S.A really is… But I'm rooting for you!
S.A: O-oniichan-!
Fake S.A: A-ah, you! [runs over to Taichi, talks in an innocent voice] S-she's the culprit! She's the anti-S.A!
Taichi: Really… [stares madly at Hikari]
S.A: But… Oniichan… I am the true S.A! I am Hikari!
Taichi: Demo… This S.A. here on my side…
Fake S.A: Look, she's trying to kill me! S.A. won't do that at all, right? (Hehehe… Time for my mind control scheme…)
S.A: (What? That's unfair! You can't do that!) A-aah!
Hikari suddenly moved by the power of Metamormon's mind control that came from all the powers combined from other Digimons, and her hands held her angelic bow & arrow pointing to Taichi…
Taichi: Y-you're right… She's trying to kill us… S.A, stop her, please…
Fake S.A: (Hehehe… What can you do now, S.A? This is hopeless for you. Just give me the Spirit of the Crest of Light & you'll be fine…)
S.A: (I won't… And I will never trust you… Ngh…) G-gomen… [almost releases her arrow]
F.A: (Hmph, that S.A. beside Taichi can't read my mind at all… So that means…) Stop! [attacks the impostor]
S.A: (T-takeru-kun! You came!)
Fake S.A: W-what? You pest…! ARGGH! [sparks suddenly came out of her body] My… My memory circuit… You completely corrupted S.A's data, along with my mind control ability!
All: What? That S.A. beside that boy is the fake one? And was trying to control the true S.A's actions?
Natsuko: *huff, huff…* H-hikari, Takeru… I'm glad you two are all right…
F.A: Heh, nice try, Metamormon… But you can't fool us, no matter how hard you try… I know S.A. best, more than anyone! And, a true warrior's power isn't only measured by brute force… It is how strong the person's heart is to resist evil!
Fake S.A: NOOO…! [reverts back to Metamormon] Now you've done it! You… You'll pay for this!
S.A: Arigato, F.A! I didn't expect you helping me at all! [hugs F.A]
F.A: Aw, it's nothing S.A. I noticed it since I first saw that impostor… And, sorry about what I've said back then.
S.A: It's nothing to worry about! Now, let's get that Metamormon & defeat him once and for all…!
F.A: Un! AAAAH!
Metamormon: I… I will take you with me! GRRAAH! [transforms into Parallelmon] I shall let this portal I make absorb all of you to be my energy for me to recover! And then… I shall come back again to conquer & get all the power from this world! MUAHAHAHA!
F.A: N-no… Parallelmon is a Mega Digimon, with Metamormon's power level added to its own…!
S.A: Nggh… There should be a way for this… I'm sure of it…
Parallelmon: GRAAH! Endless Trance!
F.A: I'll counter it! Kibou no Mori!
Parallelmon: Try to stop it… if you can!
F.A: Rggh… He's too… STRONG! [falls down from the blast] AAAH!
S.A: Light Arrows!
Parallelmon: Yes, yes… I could feel your despair… I know that NO DIGIMON COULD DEFEAT ME! MUAHAHAHA!
F.A: He… He's right…
S.A: F.A… Don't lose hope… You're the warrior of Hope, then this…?
F.A: But, I'm sure you feel this way too… Our attacks could not even do anything to stop him!
S.A: Oh… [pauses for a while, looks at Parallelmon]
Parallelmon: MUAHAHAHA! You will never get out of this portal! You will meet your end upon your entry…
S.A: …F.A, believe in me. I'll make a solution for this myself.
F.A: …W-what are you trying to do? S.A, don't sacrifice yourself…!
S.A: But… I know everyone hates me. No one will care about my end… Only you and the ones close to my heart. But I doubt that some of you will never care about me too…
F.A: N-no, we changed our minds about you! We know you're really good, and…!
S.A: Takeru-kun… I'm sorry… [hugs F.A while crying]
F.A: Huh…? For what…? You did nothing wrong, Hikari-chan!
S.A: It's one of my reasons… But, one thing is… I… I may not be able to see you again after this day…
F.A: Don't say that! That will never happen! *sob*
S.A: I'll go save all of you here, I promise… I'll do this to pay for my actions. And I do this from my own free will… [slowly goes away from F.A]
F.A: Hikari…! [holds S.A's hands tightly] Don't go away from us! *sob* …We need you!
S.A: R-really…? I… I'm so happy to hear that… But I need to do this for everyone's sake…
F.A: Iie! *sob, sob…*
S.A: Just as I've said… Takeru-kun, ore wa shinjiru… [runs off to Parallelmon]
Parallelmon: Oh, now what do you plan to do? PUT YOUR PEOPLE INTO DANGER FOR YOUR LIFE? Hahaha! You cannot stop me! Do you wish to exchange your life for nothing?
S.A: Not quite… My sacrifice will mean a lot. My end doesn't matter… If it will save everyone & bring peace to this world! We, the Angel Warriors, lived for others, not for ourselves… So that doesn't matter to us! What really matters is the sake of everyone else! That's why I continued to do good for others even though they hurt me upon seeing me…
Taichi: Hikari… I didn't know… You were that consistent? I'm sorry too, Hikari… I'm sorry…
Parallelmon: Enough of your heroic actions! Hmm, you're not even hesitating to do that?
S.A: I did hesitate at first, but… I accept my fate. If I would not do this…
…Everything will be endangered. To save all of them, one shall sacrifice, who is me. I understand everything that will happen to me…
F.A: S.A, please, there is another way for this, I'm sure of it! I… I can't accept that… You'll disappear from us… I can't stand that… *sob, sob*
Parallelmon: Hmph. F.A. will go in there first…!
F.A: H-huh?
S.A: NOO! [shields F.A]
F.A: Y-you can't do this, S.A… You can't…
S.A: Parallelmon… You…! [stands up, runs to Parallelmon & grabs his arms at his back]
Parallelmon: W-what are you trying to do?
S.A: I… I've decided… You and I are the only ones going in that portal!
All: WHAT?
Taichi: What? Hikari!
Parallelmon: Are you crazy? No one but me can get out of those portals… You'll surely die beforehand!
S.A: I don't care! But then… F.A, I entrust you my duty! You shall protect all of them in my behalf…
F.A: But, without your presence, my power will be halved…!
S.A: Believe in yourself, F.A. Just as how you believed in me. You are a very powerful warrior inside & out. You are a lot better than me…
F.A: But… you were the one very willing to save others… Even if it costs your life…
Parallelmon: S.A, you FOOL! Release me! You'll just gonna suffer from your actions!
S.A: Quiet! We'll be heading there right away!
Parallelmon: GRR…
S.A: Take care, all of you, especially my loved ones… Though the parting hurts… This… This is for the sake of peace!
Natsuko: Demo…!
S.A: Sorry for the interruption, Parallelmon. Now, let's end this! [brings Parallelmon inside the portal]
Parallelmon: GWAAAAH! Curse you, Angel Warriors! [gets inside the portal]
F.A: NOOOOOO! [runs to the portal, tries to catch up]
The portal closed seconds before F.A. got to catch up with it. From that point on, S.A. is considered dead. She cannot get out of the portal, and thus stuck in there, forever…
F.A: I-it's all my fault! *sob*
Natsuko: Takeru, it's not… Hikari really wanted to save you, all of you, since the start.
Taichi: But I understood Hikari… She said… "Parting hurts"… It surely had been hard for her to leave us.
F.A: Hikari… *sob* I'll do everything to save all of the people in danger… I promise it for you…
…I'll do everything on your part. I'll fight for you & everyone's sake!
S.A sacrificed for the sake of everyone for peace to be retained, and to prevent Parallelmon from going back there using another portal to attack them once again. Of course, all of the people who had heard of this were sad & guilty for what they have done to the innocent S.A. This is really the end for S.A… But the next chapter, "Reminiscence! Appearance of the Dark Digimon" is yet another new chapter of our heroes' lives. Don't miss it!
Ore wa shinjiru – Believe in me
The… End?
Hehehe… I knew some of you thought that this is the end of the story. But actually, this is only the end of the 1st story arc. LOL xD
Yes, and if I made this the last chapter, I would rather classify this fic as "Tragedy" xD
Oh, and I know most of the events here are familiar to those who play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2 (Explorers of Darkness, Time & Sky). The most memorable part is S.A's sacrifice, where the dialog & plot came from Grovyle's sacrifice, which is really sad... T_T (I can say that this chapter is definitely better than our original story! But the outcomes I wanted are the same, but this turned out to be more relevant. FYI, I was greatly inspired by that game for me to adapt & use storylines in there to my stories. I have a comic that was greatly inspired by my fave special Episode, "Igglybuff the Prodigy". ^_^)
Anyway, the next chapter, as I've said, is really another new chapter & the start of a new story arc, which, in other words, IS TRULY THE BEGINNING OF THE REAL STORY. Get it? xD
This is where the most depressing events will occur. MORE DEPRESSING (I think!) THAN HIKARI'S SUFFERINGS IN Chapters 1-6, or what I call, the "Hikari/S.A. Story Arc". ;)
Well then, I'M SOO EXCITED TO TYPE CHAPTER 7! WOOHOO!
DA: Good for you, BECAUSE I NEED TO APPEAR ASAP! Or else, I'll kill you (DA said that she already killed me, but I would only be revived if I'm already typing the part where DA appears for the first time. LOL) =]
RDvm: Hehehe, I bet my own fic (An Irreplaceable Gift) is better than yours!
DA: Oh yeah? How would you say so if MY FIC ISN'T FINISHED YET? You bonehead!
RDvm: H-hey, DA! L-let's just talk about this, okay…?
DA: NO! I WANT WAR! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!
Me: Okay, DA, it's enough. You'll be appearing in the next chapter for sure. You are that "Dark Digimon" I'm talking about. Hehehe -_-"
DA: REALLY? YAY! THEN I'LL START UP A WAR! THIS IS THE WAY I CELEBRATE! YOOHOO!
RDvm: Crazy DA… (OOPS!)
DA: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY? MEET YOUR DOOM, YOU CRAZY, GOOD-FOR-NOTHING BLOCKHEAD!
Hahaha, here they are again, fighting all over & over again… I hope you enjoyed this chapter! =D
