Yo, guys! I hope you're enjoying this fic (again) so far! So, how are your Christmas vacations? Since I'm doing this fic in the Christmas season, I'll set the time in winter… (But actually this fic can be all-around, can be at any time of the year)
DA: I LOVE WINTER! Don't you, BONEHEAD?
RDvm: Of course, but… I know you have another reason why you like winter out of all the others.
DA: HMM…? THEN WHY?
RDvm: It's because… YOU HATE HOT, I mean, BLAZING SEASONS! ESPECIALLY SUMMER, RIGHT…?
DA: WHAT THE? I-it's not…! I'm only scared of fire, not the hot season! GET ON WITH IT, WILL YOU?
RDvm: (You're kidding me… Sigh…)
DA: By the way, you readers better get ready for the events that will occur in this chapter! Hmph.
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon & its characters, for the exception of my OCs (Original Characters): DarkAkumon, SereneAngewomon & FighterAngemon.
Chapter 12 – "Darkness and Light! Hikari's Revival"
DA: C'mon, Taichi! YOU'RE TOO SLOW!
Taichi: What do you actually want to do, anyway?
DA: YOU SAID YOU'LL TREAT ME OUT FOR ICE CREAM! HURRY, OR ELSE…!
Taichi: Okay, okay! As my best friend… I'll let you do anything you want. But don't do anything crazy, or else you'll lose your ice cream!
DA: [cloaks herself] No fair! Hehe, just joking. It's a deal!
~At the Ice Cream Store…~
DA: Mmm! Thanks a lot, blockhead.
Taichi: No problem. Hmm… Say, can we umm… Chat for a while?
DA: Yeah, fine to me… [sits on the nearby bench, takes a lick of her ice cream] So what do you want to talk about?
Taichi: I… I miss Hikari…
DA: Hmph. Hikari again. Can't you just get over her?
Taichi: You just don't know how it feels to lose someone very close to you…
DA: Heh. Then go on, continue what you're gonna say.
Taichi: I wonder what happened to her since then… May I ask you something, DA?
DA: Blurt it out.
Taichi: What would you do if you lose something dear to you? Or… someone?
DA: I don't care about it at all. After all, I don't have someone dear to me.
Taichi: Oh yeah? How about me?
DA: You… You're… You're not useless, yet not so significant… Heh.
Taichi: But I thought we're best friends! I thought best friends treat each other as siblings?
DA: Poor Taichi… Alright, okay, okay, I will get sad and all. Feel satisfied?
Taichi: You're not that sincere in saying that… You really do need to change some of your attitudes.
DA: So you're saying I'm still evil? What the?
Taichi: HEY, HEY! I'm just trying to say that you're now a good Digimon, yet you need to change a bit more to be truly become a good Digimon.
DA: Fine. I accept that truth. Hmm… [finishes eating her ice cream] Your ice cream's melting. Hurry, eat it up.
Taichi: Oh, thanks…
~Moments later…~
Taichi: You know DA, you don't have to act so strong all of the time…
DA: Huh? But if I'll do that, the others might think I'm pathetic, know that?
Taichi: Actually… The sad thing about being too strong is that no one will care if you're hurt or such, right?
DA: …
Taichi: Anyway, it's a nice talk, DA. I hope we could spend our times like this most of the time.
DA: No prob! Hehehe… C'mon, let's go home!
Taichi: Want ice cream again tomorrow?
DA: Or rather, EVERYDAY! OF COURSE, I DO! IT JUST MAKES ME CRAZY!
Taichi: But I thought you didn't want to become crazy…
Someone from the darkness suddenly came out, walking towards Taichi…
DA: (Someone's following us… I better stay put.) Taichi, hurry up, or you'll be left out! MUAHAHAHA!
Taichi: Coming!
~ o ~ o ~
-At Taichi & Hikari's room…-
DA: [removes her cloak] Where are your parents, anyway?
Taichi: Don't worry, they went out to celebrate with our relatives in our family's behalf. They'll be back soon enough.
DA: Hmph. Anyway, am I good now? AM I GOOD?
Taichi: Hmm… Not so much.
DA: WHAT THE? THAT'S TOTALLY NOT ME AWHILE AGO! I DID MY BEST TO BECOME SOME PATHETIC FELLOW LIKE YOU!
Taichi: Hey, are you trying to insult me? [giggles]
DA: O-oh, my bad! Hmph!
Taichi: Hahaha! But keep it up, DA. You're being a good Digimon little by little!
DA: Really? Hehe… (It's going near us! I must put on guard!) Taichi, don't move…
Taichi: Huh? Why? Is there something wrong?
DA: Someone's coming near at this moment… [holds her sword & waits]
?: Taichi…
DA: Hrrr… [gets in front of Taichi]
Taichi: W-who are you? And what do you want from me? Speak to me!
?: Don't you want to see me? I surely won't hurt you!
DA: I'll go for you, Taichi. Hmm… [pulls the person out of the dark]
Taichi: What… H-hikari? Is that really you? I mean… You're alive?
Hikari: Why do you think I'm here if I'm not me? If I'm dead? Silly Taichi!
Taichi: Hikari! [hugs Hikari] I missed you so much! Our parents will surely be happy seeing you again alive! Oh, and this is DarkAkumon, DA for short.
DA: So… You're Hikari… I thought you were just some Digimon trying to attack Taichi… You were hiding in darkness.
Hikari: That's just my style of hiding. Hihihi~
DA: You sure sound weird. Hmph.
Taichi: Since it's dinner, I'll prepare a big meal for the three of us! We'll celebrate Hikari's return! Yay!
DA: Do what you want. I don't care about your sister anyway…
Taichi: Hey, don't be mean to her! She's a really nice sister to me, so you'll get to be friends with her too.
Hikari: He's right! Behave you mean DA… Hehehe…
DA: A-alright! (If I can help it… Stupid sister, I thought she was any good, but she was pathetic too.)
~At dinner, Taichi & Hikari's apartment…~
Taichi: Mmm! Like it, Hikari?
Hikari: Of course, Taichi! So yummy~!
DA: Heh. But it's nothing special to me.
Hikari: Oi! Don't be so mean to Taichi, you freak!
DA: Hey, WHO ARE YOU CALLING A FREAK?
Hikari: Didn't you hear me? I said "you freak"!
DA: W-what the? Grr, Taichi! Your sister's, gah, annoying me!
Taichi: Aww, come on, you two! Hikari, don't be so naughty to our friend, and DA, please, don't be mean with her!
Hikari: B-but, DA said that your cooking isn't so good!
DA: Hmph…
Taichi: Now, now, stop this! It's a time to celebrate, right? So let's avoid arguments. Hikari, DA, deal?
Hikari: Oh… Okay. Sorry…
DA: Hm. But I still don't tolerate what your sister said to me…
Hikari: I heard that! Taichi, she's arguing with me again!
Taichi: Grr, DA, please, just stop. I trust you as my best friend, okay? I know you can be trustworthy.
DA: Fine, fine… Better leave you two alone… [jumps off the window]
Taichi: (Hmm… But to come to think of it, Hikari's acting strange lately… I mean, she's not like her old self… I wonder why…)
~At the Apartment's Rooftop…~
DA went up the rooftop to cool herself down as a gentle, cold breeze blows on her…
DA: Stupid Hikari. I thought that she was one that picks someone her own size. I remembered what Taichi said…
~Flashback~
Taichi: She… She's the one that makes me happy in times of sadness, helps people without thinking of the danger she could get into… She helps people selflessly, leading her to danger…
DA: Hmph, people like her tends to die early. She's just killing herself…
Taichi: I have to admit, you're right… But in turn, the ones she helped returned the favor & helped her too.
DA: Hmm… Well then, where is Hikari?
Taichi: Hikari… She… She died. She sacrificed herself as S.A, choosing to go with Parallelmon, the Digimon form copied by Metamormon & morphed into it, in the portal he opened, so that he may not do his dirty tricks & therefore cannot return back…
~End Flashback~
DA: Hmph, if she did make a heroic sacrifice… Heh, is that what you call a HERO? Hikari, acting as a spoiled brat? What the heck, that's impossible! And… We're opposites. She's the Light & I'm the Darkness. How will I ever get along with her?
Taichi: Hmm, it seems that DA went mad after dinner…
Hikari: She's just jealous of me, Taichi. I know it because I get more love! Anyway, she's just your friend and I'm your sister~!
Taichi: Hikari, you don't have to say those things to her…
Hikari: Aww, but… It's true, right?
Taichi: Sigh, alright, you win…
Hikari: We should get rid of her, since she's a dark, evil Digimon!
Taichi: Demo… DA's changed… She was like that once, but now-
Hikari: If you don' want to get rid of her, then I'll do it!
Taichi: Hey wait, Hikari! (Ugh… What is she thinking? She's not like that at all…)
~ o ~ o ~
-Back at the Rooftop…-
DA: Hmph… I wonder how Taichi dealt with that creep…
?: [goes out of the shadows] Looking for me~?
DA: Wha-? Hikari? W-what do you need from me now, huh…?
Hikari: You're just jealous of Taichi & I, aren't you?
DA: What are you talking about? I'm the most powerful Digimon, and I won't ever get jealous of someone lower than I am!
Hikari: Well, I thought you already let go of that dream, right, DarkAkumon? Hihihi~
DA: Gah… You're just provoking me… I know it!
Hikari: Just shuddup, I'll put an end to this now! Beware! Hahaha~ [changes into S.A.]
DA: I… I don't have to fight you, know that? You're just making a fool of yourself! I'll just take you down in a tip of a finger!
S.A: Don't take me on easily, 'cause I'm getting serious about this!
DA: Hmph, we'll see about that… [pulls out her 2 swords]
S.A: Shall we? [aims her arrow of light to DarkAkumon]
DA: Schwarz Sabers!
S.A: Hahaha, you missed… Now it's my turn! LIGHT ARROW!
DA: [dodges the attack] Urggh… I was battling with someone from the light… And as a wielder of darkness, I'm too vulnerable to her attacks… Shoot…
Is that all you've got?[disappears out of thin air]
S.A: Eh…? Where did that monster go…?
DA: [appears above S.A] Looking for me? HAAAAH! [rushes down to punch S.A]
S.A: [shields herself using her armor] You're strong… But not stronger than me!
DA: FOOL! GRAAAH! Aku no Tsuku!
DarkAkumon used her signature attack, "Aku no Tsuku", to blast S.A. with her mini, but very deadly bombs stored on her pack holder on her belt. However…
S.A: Gah… You… You're the one who shall pay…
DA: You're saying that only because you're afraid to lose… You can't admit that you lost to my power!
S.A: No, I'm not… You're the one who's scared of failure that no one will ever trust you again the next time they'll ask you for help!
DA: What the… I'm not that kind that tends to help others! I'm working for myself and myself only! GET REAL! GRAAAH! [jumps angrily towards S.A]
S.A: [pushes DA away from her] Darkness will never defeat Light… YOU'LL NEVER DEFEAT ME!
DA: YOU'RE PISSING ME OFF! I'LL KILL YOU! AAAH! [pushes S.A. into the ground & chokes her, points one of her swords to S.A's heart]
But suddenly, Taichi barged into their fight and was surprised by what he saw…
Taichi: H-hikari? DA? What are you two doing?
S.A: [in a fake weak tone] Taichi… *cough, cough* She's… trying to kill me… Help… Can't breathe… Any longer… Agh…
DA: Taichi, no, I didn't mean it, I-
Taichi: H-hikari… *sob*… I… I WON'T FORGIVE YOU DA! YOU'RE A TRAITOR! I CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO HIKARI AGAIN, DID YOU HEAR THAT?
DA: [drops swords] But, I-
Taichi: GET AWAY FROM HERE, NOW! OR ELSE… I'LL…
DA: Grrr…
Even though DarkAkumon looked so angry to them, upon looking away…
DA: [a tear silently drops from her eye] *sob* I'm… I'm sorry Taichi… *sob, sob* [runs away crying]
Taichi: I thought you were good… But you tricked me! You tried to kill my sister! You… YOU'RE A TRAITOR!
S.A: (Hehehe… Good thing I got rid of that Digimon of a nuisance… Now, to do what I need to do with Taichi…)
Oh no! Upon Hikari's return, DarkAkumon was driven away by the Chosen of Light, and most of all, her only friend, Taichi… With only that, DA's fate changed forever… Will she be able to restore their friendship? Or will Taichi just reject all their cherished memories together? And in the first place… Why did Hikari do such thing? Don't miss the 13th chapter of the unfortunate life of DarkAkumon,
"Painful Parting! Realizing DA's Sorrow"
DA: U-UNFORTUNATE? But… I'm a strong Digimon, and considered the ultimate Digimon, but… Ugh, THIS CAN'T HAPPEN TO ME!
RDvm: It's OK, DA. Everyone fails at life…
DA: …Not as frequent as you do, NINNY!
RDvm: Oh, guess I'll keep quiet for now… Sigh, I think I'm just going to make you mad… -_-"
DA: Hmph… *sob*
RDvm: A-ah, hey, ahehehe…
DA: Leave me alone…
Me: Uhh… DA? You okay?
DA: It's none of your business… *sob*
Me: Aww, cheer up, DA! (Even though the next chapter is a very sad chapter for her…) Anyway, Chapter 13 is up next! YAHOO! While doing it, I'll be off for a while as I'll play the English release of Kingdom Hearts Re:coded on the DS (next week, Jan. 11, 2011, oh, and it's 1-11-11! Same like 358/2 Days, 9-9-09! =D) & will watch Digimon Xros Wars episode 22! But, I'll be working on this on my available time xD
Well, peace out! ;)
