'Kay, now on to this new Chapter! I was busying myself at different kinds of stuff, like my drawings, my DS games, watching Digimon Xros Wars, and all the other school activities… And playing Pokemon White, so sorry if I had a VERY LONG DELAY in this chapter xD
Anyway, in our country it's summer vacation, so I'll have more time for this! =D
RDvm: Umm, DA?
DA: Yeah?
RDvm: Umm, you're playing a PS2, right?
DA: You know right, now go away and don't disturb me. I'm on the final boss!
What the heck, I LOST! You BONEHEAD should be responsible with this!
RDvm: Huh, me? Why?
DA: YOU DARE TO DISTURB ME, AND NOW WHAT HAPPENED?
RDvm: Aww, come on. It's just a-
DA: DON'T YOU KNOW THAT I SPENT 8 HOURS OF DEFEATING THIS BOSS YET I LOST?
RDvm: (I'M DOOMED O_O)

Chapter 14 – "Promises - Darkness's True Light"
~The Next Morning…~
DA: *yawn…*
Rydia: ONEE-SAAAAAAAN!
DA: A-aah! D-don't startle me like that!
Rydia: Hahaha! Can't stand being startled by a little girl, no?
DA: J-just… Get off me… Please…
Rydia: Hmm, anyway, I noticed you slept late last night!
DA: [scratches head] O-oh, hehe, it's just, y'know, problems & such…
Rydia: …LIKE WHAT?
DA: E-ehehehe… About my friend, Taichi, you see…
Rydia: Oh, I know! Because he's your boy-
DA: [covers Rydia's mouth] Ohohoh! A friend in need is a friend indeed, hahaha…
Rydia: WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? You're trying to avoid my questions eh?
DA: N-never mind! [blushes]
Rydia: Anyway, who's this Taichi-creep?
DA: Hey, don't call him a creep, you…!
Rydia: Come catch me… If you can! Hahaha!
DA: Hrr! GET BACK HERE!
~Yagami Residence~
Taichi: G-give me Agumon back…
S.A: Now, Taichi. Didn't we have a deal?
Taichi: Hrr…
S.A: Now, do what as I say.
~At dusk…~
Rydia: [throws a snowball at DA]
DA: Ow! Hey, no snowball fighting!
Rydia: You don't just want to get defeated, do you?
DA: Hmph!
Rydia sneakily curled up snow into a snowball & hurled it onto DarkAkumon!
DA: WHAT THE?
Rydia: Hahaha!
DA: HHRRR! TAKE THIS! THROWING IS MY SPECIALTY, YOU KNOW?
Rydia: I didn't know you had a naughty side to you… [gets hit by snowball] OW!
DA: GOTCHA! WHAHAHAHAHA!
Rydia: Ahaha- Oh, a-a blizzard!
DA: Hurry, get inside the cave! (But I still wanted to throw snowballs…)
~ o ~ o ~
-Inside the cave…-
Rydia: *cough, cough* It's cold…
DA: Here, wear my cloak and vest for a while… What's important is that you're kept warm.
Rydia: But… How about you? Can you stay long without these? I'm already wearing winter wear and I have this bag of clothes with me, but you only wear normal clothes…
DA: Don't worry about me, Rydia. This long sleeved shirt is enough for a Digimon like me… Now then, sleep tight. I'll be here all night.
Rydia: Thanks, Onee-san! [leans on DA's shoulder]
DA: I… don't really know what to do with her. I wanted to guide her home, yes, but… I feel that she'll get too attached to me. I don't want her parents to get mad at her…
Rydia: Zzz…
DA: Sigh, you're an innocent child. Yet, you wanted a Digimon with a very bad reputation as your "older sister"? You'll just get hurt, Rydia. I realized that I was made for destruction & self-importance…
?: Really, DA?
DA: (W-who are you? Speak to me!)
?: Please… stop… him…
DA: (Stop who…? Hey!)
?: Don't let… him… get… the Dragon Digimon's… Digicore…
DA: (But, wait… What are you talking about? WHAT DIGICORE?)
?: …Draco…
DA: "Draco"? Hmm, some codename of a Digimon, I guess… I'll take note of that.
That's some mysterious voice… And I actually feel kinda sleepy now… Oyasuminasai, Rydia…
~ o ~ o ~
-Midnight-
In the middle of the night, Rydia somehow wakes up & can't sleep, and decides to take a look around. However…
DA: *cough, cough*
Rydia: [notices DA's coughing] Onee-san…? Oh… I think you're cold… You deserve these more than me, you know! I'm totally fine. [returns DA's cloak & vest]
DA: U-ugh… R-rydia…? A-aah! I-I'm OK without these! You're more important since you're just a mortal child…
Rydia: I know, just being thoughtful. Hihi! Anyway, I can't sleep… Care to talk about something with me?
DA: Uh… Umm, well, it doesn't hurt to… Okay, go on.
Rydia: You know, Onee-san, you remind me so much of my very own sister.
DA: Wait, you actually HAVE an older sister?
Rydia: Yeah… She's a really good sister to me…
DA: Rydia, could you tell more about your true Onee-san?
Rydia: Well, OK, here goes…
~Monologue~
My sister's name is Diamond. Since then, she loved anyone she cares about, like me. She's really nice, kind and a loving sister. What's more, she did better than me in school too!
Although… she was a person who lived a sad life.
DA: That's really nice of her, Rydia…
…She only had a few loyal friends, and usually no one noticed her, unlike most people I see hanging out with friends. She's a quiet person, if you ask me. Hmm, I think that's the reason she just had a few number of friends, but I had my own reasons too. Well, I think that she doesn't want people to embarrass her. She easily feels a lot of guilt whenever she does something wrong, especially to someone. Like one time, her friend was sharing about a bad thing that happened to her, and she was talking in a serious & mad tone. Onee-san was trying to help, but sometimes she thinks her efforts are worthless… I always tried to cheer her up, but she always told me that…
"I'll be okay, Rydia. Don't worry about me… Go along and do your thing, don't mind me…
Always remember that… I'll be here for you… and be strong, okay?"
DA: (I feel… sad. I don't know, but her sister sure is a lonely gal…)
You know what… I always see her doing her best in anything, but no one appreciates her effort. As a result of that, she always works in secret… She doesn't really like to be heard and wants to stay neutral… You know, the ones that aren't much heard about. Honestly, I saw her one night crying silently in her bedroom whenever she had very hard problems…
DA: So she really is a silent type… Unlike me…
But, something really bad happened one night. My sister went out to spend time with herself, and then all of a sudden a mysterious dark figure appeared, attacking her! She did the best she could to escape, but that creature was too fast, and so… *sob* Onee-san…
…She was found without life when the local people found her body & told us about it. It's so unlucky for her to *sob* be attacked by that evil creature!
~End monologue~
DA: Did… did you gain info about this creature? I'll stop that creep and punish it!
Rydia: I don't really have such info that can help you in finding it… But I heard from someone that while attacking, that creature used to say…
"I am the best… I am the strongest… I…I AM THE GREATEST DIGIMON! Grr…"
DA: (Wait… where did I hear that line…? That sounds familiar!)
Rydia: Onee-chan didn't deserve to be that Digimon's prey! Since then… I promised to be strong for her… I don't want to her efforts to end up in smoke!
DA: A promise… One that is meant to be kept…
~Flashback~
DA: But… I promise, I'll do everything *cough, cough* f-for you to forgive me…
Taichi: I will forgive you… but you must PERISH!
~End Flashback~
DA: (But, if I were to do that… I'll lose my life… But, Taichi is a great friend… If he's my friend, then I should have faith on him… It sounds crazy, but I'm still going to do it…)
Rydia: You know what? I treated you as my older sister because… I see her in you.
DA: …
Rydia: My onee-san, at least, left me a valuable thing to me… Well, not really a thing, but…
DA: Well, what is it…?
Rydia: It's-
Rydia's words were cut off when an explosion broke out outside the cave…
Rydia: Aaah!
DA: [puts on cloak & ties it like a cape] Stay here! I'll see what happened outside, okay?
~Outside the cave, Blizzard~
DA: [holds on to her ragged cloak] Gaah, it's too cold! And the blizzard's so strong… I can't see a thing!
?: WHERE IS THE CHOSEN CHILD OF THE DRACOMONS? SHOW UP, OR ELSE…!
DA: W-who are you…?
?: ARE YOU THE-? Huh, you're not the Chosen Dragon Child! You're that pestering DarkAkumon!
DA: And you're…? Hey, matte yo…!
?: Yes, I am what you're thinking~ I'm S.A. Shining Mode, see? I STOLE LOBOMON'S DIGI-SPIRIT FOR ME TO BECOME STRONGER IN THIS FORM~
DA: Why you…! You don't need to steal other people's Digimon to strengthen yourself!
S.A: Why, do you even have to care, you dimwit?
DA: GRR…! [puts out her 2 swords]
S.A: Oh, want a swordfight, eh~? Well, let's see about that! Here is Beowulfmon's Sword!
DA: I'm not scared of anyone like you! You're just a big loser who says lies to Taichi and accuse me of ANYTHING THAT YOU DO! GRAAAAH! Schwarz Sabers!
S.A: Beo Saber! [counters DA's attack]
A fierce showdown started in the blizzard mountain plains… But the place was too unstable since they were beside a cliff, threatening them with an avalanche…
Filled with worry, Rydia came outside the cave to see of DarkAkumon was okay.
Rydia: Onee-san! Where are you?
DA: [looks to Rydia] Rydia?
S.A: You, child~! Don't trust this Digimon with such a dirty attitude and appearance! Just run along now, S.A's here for you~
Rydia: But… I know both of you aren't evil!
DA: She's not the old heroic S.A. you know, Rydia! She's changed!
S.A: I'm tired of your words, DA~ Don't try to make the situation worse, okay?
DA: I'M NOT WORSENING IT! YOU'RE THE STUPID FREAK TRYING TO MAKE AN INNOCENT CHILD GO IN THE WRONG PATH!
Rydia: Onee-san…
S.A: I'm going to take revenge on you from what you did to me last time! AAAH~!
Rydia: …SereneAngewomon…
DA: YOU STARTED IT! YOU… I'LL PUT AN END TO YOU!
S.A: Oh, really? Or are you just ashamed that you're not strong now, unlike before, DARKAKUMON~?
Rydia: …Please… STOP!
DA & S.A: [looks at Rydia] …
Rydia: Why don't you just deal with this in a peaceful way? You don't need to fight…
Suddenly, their surroundings began to quake… Causing an avalanche bigger than what DA & Rydia got caught on before!
Rydia: A-aah! [covers mouth] Sorry…
DA: [looks angrily to S.A] Tsk…
S.A: What now, DA? If you're strong enough, then let's fight here until the avalanche hits us, and let's see who survives!
Rydia: No, don't do it, S.A, Onee-san!
DA: Wait… Do I hear… sirens?
S.A: Hahaha! You're going to lose, DA~ You'll get caught by the cops for sure!
DA: (I… I don't really know what I can do now… I can't die until Taichi forgives me… But I can't leave Rydia here too… Gah…)
Police: Hey, DarkAkumon! What are you doing to this child? And, S.A? We thought you were-
DA: D-don't mind me! Just take the girl home and run away from this place! THERE'S AN AVALANCHE, SEE?
Police: Y-yes! Come with us, child, we'll get you out of here & return you home.
Rydia: D-demo…! I don't wanna go home! I want to go with Onee-san, no matter what!
Police: H-hey! It's too dangerous here for kids like you!
DA: Rydia… Don't worry about me. Be strong for your sister, Diamond…
Rydia: But, how about you?
DA: I… I don't deserve to be anyone's sister… I'm nothing like your Onee-san, Rydia.
Rydia: [eyes began to tear, gets pulled by the police forces] No, Onee-san…! You can't leave me alone like how my sister did! *sob* You can't!
DA: [shakes] …But even your Onee-san didn't really want to do this. [a tear fell from her eye]
Rydia: O…nee…san…
A-alright. I'll go home and stay strong. T-thank you, Onee-san… *sob* [runs to DA & hugs her]
DA: [returns Rydia's hug] …Take care of yourself. I…
…I'll never forget you… Be a good girl, okay…? *sob*
Rydia: …Onee-san!
Police: C'mon, there's no time to lose! [carries Rydia & puts her in the Police car]
S.A: Enough of the drama! Bring it on, DA~
DA: Nngh… [looks at the raging avalanche, then to Rydia]
Rydia: ONEE-SAAAAAAN!
S.A: MUAHAHAHAHA~ It's just you and me, DA. A few moments left and you'll perish from this land!
DA: [outrageously] (I will live on… I can't die yet… Promises are to be kept… I have to fulfill my promise to Taichi! NOTHING CAN STOP ME!)
I.
Don't.
CARE! GRAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
*SWOOSH!*
…The avalanche finally flowed to DarkAkumon & SereneAngewomon. The snow was too thick that almost no one can survive it…
Too cold for anyone to take & stay in… Freezing cold snow...
Rydia is safely driven home… Although she's safe, what is the voice in DA's head talking about? More importantly, what could have happened to S.A. and DarkAkumon? Did one survive, both, or none…? Can DA live on to fulfill her promise, or will S.A. continue to find this "Dragon's Chosen Child"? Find out in next chapter, "'Believe in Me'! DarkAkumon's Turnabout"
