Hey I'm back, during my exams I went to hell (Math) and back, but as you see I'm still alive. As promised this is the next chapter. I hope I can finish this story before I'll go on my vacation, but I'm sorry I can't promise you anything.
Disclaimer: Hindi ko pag-aari Digimon.
"I'll kill them. I'll fuckin kill them all." Puppetmon yelled through the forest, he still couldn't that they nearly had defeated him. His army was gone only one Blossomon and a dozen of Woodmon had survived. He self was hurt, one of his arms didn't work like it used to before this hammer had hit him. But thanks to LadyDevimon he knew their next two possible destinations, he would wait for them on the Shivering Islands and he would make sure that they won't return from this trip.
In the moment of Ken's death dark clouds had appeared and had banished the sun from the battlefield. Yolei and joe immediately ran to Ken's fallen body, she caressed his cheeks, shook his shoulders and placed his head in her lap, but Ken didn't react. Joe didn't need a close look, he knew that Ken was dead; the bullet had ripped his heart apart, no one could survive such an injury. He looked at the other Digidestined that looked at him and Ken's body, some of them had tears in their eyes and others looked like they still couldn't believe what had happened.
Imperialdramon dedigivolved into DemiVeemon and Minomon, it was heartbreaking to watch how Minomon tried to get a reaction out of the dead body of his partner.
Yolei cried and whispered words of love to Ken's corpse: "Ken please come back, don't let me alone. I need you, I need your love. What I'm supposed to do without you. Ken please, I love you." She collapsed onto his dead body.
Yolei! A weak voice she knew very well was calling her name.
Yolei! She heard the voice again, there was no doubt it was Ken's voice.
Yolei! Again it was Ken's voice, but his mouth didn't move like the rest of his body.
Yolei! This time the voice was louder and she recognized that the voice was only in her head.
Yolei! "Ken?" she answered him in her thoughts.
"Yes it's me Yolei, you have to help me, and I don't want to die."
"Ken, but you're already dead, how can I help you?"
"Believe in love, believe in us, believe in yourself use your Digivice. Please help me Yolei, I don't want to leaf you. I love you." The voice in her head faded away.
Suddenly Yolei's and Kari's Digivices started to vibrate, driven by an instinct they both held their Digivice up towards the sky. Lightning came out of their Digivices and hit the clouds and then there was silence, it looked like time had stood still, but nothing else happened. "Was it too late, have I failed?" Thought Yolei.
Suddenly a rainbow broke through the clouds, blinding Beelzemon and the Arkadimon; the rainbow hit Silphymon and covered it with the light.
Silphymon Mega-digivolve to Valkyrimon.
Out of the, rainbow colored, sphere came Valkyrimon, with feathers on his back as wings, holding a sword in his hand and a golden bird was sitting on its shoulder. The Digimon landed near Yolei and held his hand above Ken's wound. Valkyrimon's armor began to shine in a bright light.
Valkyrimon started to chant: "Heill dagr! Heilir dags synir! Heil nótt ok nift! Óreiðum augum lítið okkr þinig ok gefið sitjöndum sigr! Mál ok mannvit gefið okkr mærum tveim ok læknishendr, meðan lifum."
The light that came of its hands gently touched Ken's chest. The flesh started to live again and the wound quickly began to heal, air filled his lungs again and his new heart, forged in heat of the battle, began to beat. Tears of joy came out of Yolei's eyes when Ken opened his eyes and started to breathe again. Yolei crushed her lips on Ken's, he instantly returned the kiss, and even he was confused about the whole situation.
He slowly realized what had happened: Beelzemon had shot him; he had passed out and had begged for Yolei's help. Now stood a Digimon, he didn't know, beside him while the other Digidestined looked very confused but happy at him, the whole time Yolei was hugging him and crying. When he and Yolei separated from each other he saw the hole in his clothes where the bullet had hit him, but the wound wasn't there anymore.
"Am I dead? Is this heaven?" He thought.
"What had happened?" finally he was able to speak again.
Yolei answered him slowly: "Beelzemon had shot you and you died, but your spirit was able to talk to me." And Yolei's sincere love combined with Kari's urge to protect you gave me the power to Mega-digivolve from Silphymon to Valkyrimon and eventually the power to heal you." Added Yolei's and Kari's partner.
"Seems like I have to kill you twice!" Beelzemon was up in the air again and aimed at Ken and also at Yolei with a mad gaze he shot at them, but WarGreymon used his Brave-shield to block the bullets. Kari and Yolei looked into each other's eyes, both looked determined and nodded. "End it Valkyrimon." Whispered Yolei.
Valkyrimon moved faster than any other Digimon they had seen and jumped towards Beelzemon. Beelzemon had quick reactions and tried to dodge Valkyrimon's attack, but Beelzemon was not fast enough. Valkyrimon's sword hit Beelzemon's forearm and cut through it, like it was nothing. Beelzemon let out a loud scream of pain when its left hand and a part of its forearm disappeared. A few Arkadimon came to help Beelzemon, but they had no chance against Valkyrimon, it was simply to quick. The resurrection of Ken gave the Digimon of the Digidestined new power and the started again to fight against the Arkadimon.
Leomon's army managed to surround a big part of the Arkadimon, caught between the Digidestined and Leomon's army Beelzemon knew there was only one thing he could do if he wanted to survive. With its last power he let out a wave of shadows that distracted the other Digimon, he used the little space he had created for himself, to open a dark portal. The remaining Arkadimon got sucked into the portal, also Beelzemon entered the portal. Valkyrimon tried to follow him, but was pushed back by the portal. Beelzemon had escaped, but the battle was over and won. But the forces of Leomon's army were weakened. The Digidestined were very happy to see Wingdramon and Leomon uninjured. Ogremon hadn't so much luck, he was alive, but Joe had to look after him.
"Next time when you fight use a shield, every time we meet I have to take care of your arm." Ogremon didn't know what to say, he blushed and scratched his head.
"Destroy the pyramid and the Dark Network." Commanded Leomon. The Digimon of the Digidestined combined their attacks and destroyed the pyramid forever and ever. HerculesKabuterimon sent electrical shockwaves through the Dark Network which resulted in an overloading and eventually the collapse of the Dark Network.
The Digimon dedigivolved and together with their partners they gathered around Leomon. Even they had won the battle they weren't in a good mood, the fact that they nearly had lost Ken was still a huge shock for them.
"How do we continue now?" It was Tai who broke the silence.
"You do what is necessary to summon Huanglongmon. I'll try to get so reinforcements for the army, then I'll guide them to the coast where we meet the Whamon, they'll help us to bring the army to the File Island the location of the final battle." Answered him Leomon determined.
"So we'll meet again on the File Island?" Asked him Mimi.
"We will my friends, we will."
Everybody knew that this was farewell, but Leomon and even Ogremon gave every Digidestined a hug before they climbed on Wingdramon. The Digidestined waved towards their friends when Wingdramon took off and flew towards the Shivering Islands.
Ogremon and Leomon watched them until they became one with the horizon.
"Beelzemon did a good job; he did what none of us could do."
"Yeah he killed the Digimon Emperor, so that Ken Ichijouji could be reborn, no longer affected by the darkness."
What a surprise I didn't kill Ken. I hope you don't mind the fluff. In case you are interested the chant off Valkyrimon is an ancient Norse prayer called "Sigrdrífumál".
As always thanks for reading, pls R&R.
Until the end of this story I'll give you a little teaser for my next project at the end of every chapter.
