Wow another update so soon! Well it is rare that I get two days off in a row from work so I am taking the time to update now while I can. Unfortunately next week I will be away on vacation so there will be no update! But I will try to update soon after that!
And again I do not own Digimon!
Chapter 16: Digidesined's Defeat
Arukenimon was sitting on a cliff thinking about her defeat from the Digidestined. She couldn't understand how a bunch of brats could defeat her. She was a perfect Digimon, strong and powerful. She could hear Mummymon in the background calling her name. The more she tried to block him out the louder he became. Once he came right into her view he was persistent to get her attention.
"Arukenimon are you okay? Please say something."
"Can't you see I am thinking," Arukenimon then stood up "I have a lot on my mind!" She then picked him up and threw him into the Jeep they are driving.
'I need to figure out a way to defeat those brats!'
In a forest the Digidestined were destroying Conrol Spires. Kari was taking pictures happy with the progress they were making. Hopefully soon there wouldn't be anymore Control Spires for Arukenimon to use. Kari was even happy that Ken and Yolei was with them. She was surprised to see Yolei's e-mail that Ken wanted to try to be with them all.
"Hey guys how about we take a break."
"Sounds great to me Davis. I am getting a little tired of knocking down these Spires."
"I know buddy. But we are making great progress."
"I sure am thirsty."
"I think I saw a vending machine not to far from here."
"Great T.K I will go with you."
"Hey wait I will go too!"
"No Davis it is alright. We can bring you back something. Besides I have another task for you."
"Another task? What do you mean Kari."
Kari lead Davis over to where Ken, Yolei and Cody were. Cody was sitting on one rock with Armadillomon looking one way while Ken and Yolei were sitting together on another. Yolei had taken her helmet off and had her head on Ken's shoulder. Davis looked between the three.
"So they are just ignoring each other?"
"Seems so. If you can think of a way to have Cody and Ken talk to one another in some way I think it would help everyone."
"I will try to think of something Kari I promise!"
"Great! I will bring you back a cold soda." Kari then gave Davis a small kiss on his cheek before turning and walking back to T.K.
Davis blushed and watched Kari go. Veemon and Gatomon just looked at one another before Gatomon turned and followed Kari. Veemon looked back at his partner who had brought his hand up to his cheek. 'I can still feel her lips there,' Davis thought.
"Hey Davis."
"Yeah Veemon?"
"How are we going to Ken and Cody to talk to one another?"
"Huh? Oh yeah that. Maybe we can convince a Digimon to take Yolei and they have to work together to get her back."
"Davis!"
"What?"
"You really want to put Yolei in danger like that? Ken will kick you butt afterwards!"
"Oh yeah I can see your point." Davis then saw the solution to his problem.
"Hey Ken, Cody!" Both turned to look at him as well as Yolei. "Flamdramon couldn't destroy that Spire over there. Do you think you could do it?"
Ken, Cody and Yolei stood up from their respective rocks. Ken and Wormmon stood tall as well as Cody and Armadillomon. Yolei put her helmet back on her head and walked over to Davis.
"What are you doing?"
"What do you mean Yolei?"
"Flamdramon would have no problem destroying that Spire."
"I know that but I am trying to get Cody and Ken to work together and maybe start getting along."
Yolei looked at the two boys. She knew Davis' heart was in the right place but she wasn't sure this was the best way to go about it. She wasn't going to say anything though as they watched the two Digimon work together to bring the Spire down. They reverted back to their Rookie forms and hugged on another. Davis, Yolei, Veemon and Hawkmon walked up to the two.
"See your Digimon are getting along. Can't you guys shake hands or something?"
"Davis! Flamdramon could easily destroy that Spire. Armadillomon shouldn't have wasted his energy."
"Agreed. Cody is correct."
"Well at least you both agree on something."
"That isn't the point Davis," Ken said as he went and picked up Wormmon.
"Dude where are you going?"
"Leave him be Davis."
"Yolei?"
"He just needs to be alone. He will be back." Yolei then turned to Cody. "And you! You need to stop being a jerk!" She then walked away from both of them.
Arukenimon and Mummymon were trying to figure out a way to destroy the Digidestined and the Digital World. Arukenimon was laying on a table while Mummymon massaged her back. She was thinking on each Digimon she created. How each one was easily defeated by those brats!
"Maybe I should try using 100 Control Spires."
'100? Arukenimon would have to use 100 hairs.'
Arukenimon turned and looked at Mummymon who had a curious look on his face. She got angry and threw him off the cliff they were on. 'It seems when Arukenimon hurts me rather than feeling pain I feel happiness. Could I be falling in love with Arukenimon?'
"Mummymon hurry up we are leaving!"
"Coming Arukenimon!"
Davis was explaining to T.K and Kari what happened between Cody and Ken. They came back with enough drinks for everyone but when Ken wasn't there Kari knew Cody and Ken didn't see eye to eye. She was wondering when everyone was going to come together. Then everyone took a sip of their drink. Davis looked over to where Cody was sitting away from them.
"Cody and Ken just need to grow up a little bit."
Everyone then choked a little on their drinks and started laughing and coughing a little at the same time. Davis turned and looked at them all. They then stood up confused wondering what he said. Everyone finally stopped when they heard a car engine coming their way. The only one who didn't notice was Davis. The Jeep then came to a screeching stop and Davis still hadn't turned like he heard anything.
"Did I offend you guys or something?"
"Davis," T.K started "turn around."
When Davis did it was Arukenimon and Mummymon. "So this is where you all hangout."
"So what," Davis yelled.
"What do you want?" T.K asked.
"Well I thought I would bring my new Digimon to play with you."
"Don't you get tired of it? You always lose to us!" Yolei exclaimed.
"This time...I wonder."
And with that Arukenimon then jumped up into the air. The group then noticed all the Control Spires behind her. Each hair she released went into the Spires. The ground started to shake. Arukenimon and Mummymon took off in their jeep towards all the Control Spires she infected.
"Follow me kids!"
Each of the Spires then started to lift off the ground and dispersed into thin air. All the Digimon Digivolved to be ready to the attack that was soon to come. Kari and T.K were flying ahead of the team but were soon brought down by the Digimon that wasn't even fully created yet. Nefertimon and Pegasusmon both classified the Spire Digimon as BlackWarGreymon. The remaining three Digimon took off towards BlackWarGreymon but he was easily dodging their attacks but they were not giving up. They knew they had to protect their partners.
"He is too strong!"
"Davis is right. At this rate everyone will..." Cody couldn't finish his sentence.
"We need Paildramon!" Yolei then took out her D-Terminal and e-mailed Ken.
Ken and Stingmon were not to far off from the others. He didn't want to be too far away from Yolei. Stingmon was destroying control spires left and right. Ken was sitting on a roof of an abandoned building when his D-Terminal went off. He opened it and read the message from Yolei.
"Ken please come back right away!"
He replied to her saying that he didn't want to break the dynamic of the team they had. He also didn't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable. Yolei read the e-mail back to the others. Davis was angry saying that it isn't the time to worry about making everyone being comfortable with one another. It is about saving the Digital World.
"We don't need him!"
"Cody!"
"We don't. We can beat him on our own!"
"Shut up both of you! I am going to go get him myself! Aquilamon!"
"Yolei?"
"Hang in there until I get back!"
"Okay." Davis could only watch as BlackWarGreymon threw Ankylomon into ExVeemon and brought both of them down. Davis could only hope Yolei could bring Ken back.
"Ken shouldn't we go?"
"Go where?"
"Davis and the others contacted you didn't they?"
"Them and I are..."
"KEN!"
"Yolei?"
"I need you to come with me. Arukenimon created an incredibly strong Digimon. Without Paildramon..."
"Yolei," Ken started standing from his spot "I'm sorry. I tried to work with everyone but..."
Without a word Yolei let out a scream and raised her hand. With a single movement she slapped Ken right across the cheek. There was an echo when she made contact. Stingmon and Aquilamon didn't say a word. Yolei broke the silence when she told him to stop being and idiot!
BlackWarGreymon had just taken down ExVeemon again. Ankylomon was telling him to hold out just a while longer. He was sure Yolei was going to be back with Ken. Kari and T.K were on the ground holding Gatomon and Patamon. Both Digimon were unconscious. Kari looked up and saw Aquilamon and Stingmon flying closer to them.
"Look Ken. I am sorry I slapped you. I was just so angry! I needed to knock some sense into you!"
All Ken could do was put his hand over his cheek. He knew she was right and he also knew to never make her that mad at him again. Davis looked up and saw Stingmon coming closer. He smiled and yelled out Ken's name. Ken smiled down at Davis and then jumped from Stingmon to Aquilamon. Once Stingmon and ExVeemon became Paildramon they hoped to put a stop the BlackWarGreymon.
Each attack to BlackWarGreymon didn't seem to phase him. Yolei had mentioned that even Paildramon wasn't strong enough to stop him. Ken looked back at her and saw the worry in her eyes. Arukenimon and Mummymon just watched as each one of their Digimon were brought down. Both smiled and laughed as it finally seemed like they won.
"Now BlackWarGreymon finish them!"
BlackWarGreymon's eyes started to glow and the area around him started to rise with his power. Kari's eyes widened as fear was shot into her heart.
"Everyone! RUN!" But it was too late.
"NO!" Yolei yelled. No one saw the bright light that came from her D-3. They were all more concerned with the attack coming from BlackWarGreymon. Each Digidestined were knocked unconsious and tossed away from each other. BlackWarGreymon just stood there looking at each teen and their partners.
"That kind of blast should have killed those brats! BlackWarGreymon finish them off." He didn't move.
"Arukenimon, your creator, gave you an order!"
"Both of you are weak. I do not need to follow your orders."
"What?!"
"I am going to go and find someone who is worthy of me to fight them."
BlackWarGreymon took off without another word. Arukenimon and Mummymon took off trying to find him. She created him and she would make him see that he needed to obey her word.
Kari was the first to come too. She looked around and saw BlackWarGreymon was gone. As were Arukenimon and Mummymon. She saw T.K not too far from her. Cody and Davis were laying on rocks while Chibimon and Leafmon were next to each other. It was Ken and Yolei she couldn't see. Kari got up the best that she could while holding Gatomon. She tried to call out to Ken and Yolei but it seemed her voice was against her. When she finally found them her legs gave out on her. Yolei was holding Hawkman and Ken's arm was around her. She figured he must have tired to protect her the best he could. Kari then saw Yolei's D-3 on the ground. The screen was a bright white. She reached down to pick it up and when she did everyone was then teleported somewhere else.
"Kari." She looked up.
"Gen...Gennai? How did we get here?"
"Kari!"
"Tai?"
Kari watched as her brother ran up to her. That was the last thing she saw before the blacked out again in her brother's arms. Tai picked his sister up and held her to him. He looked and saw Matt and Sora over with T.K. Matt was trying to get T.K to wake up with no response. Joe was over taking Cody's vitals and Izzy was giving him a hand. Mimi was over by Yolei just crying. Tai walked over to Mimi and kneeled down next to her careful not to drop his sister.
"Mimi?"
"How Tai? How could this happen?"
"I don't know Mimi. I wish I knew the answer but I don't."
"Bring everyone to the house. I promise they will be okay. They just need to regain their strength."
Everyone followed Gennai to the house. Kari woke up and tried to take in her surroundings. She looked around and she was in a house. She remembered seeing Gennai and her brother before she passed out again. She sat up on the bed she was on and saw Gatomon next to her. She had bandages on her and then Kari noticed that she did too. She picked up Gatomon and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Kari?"
"Oh Gatomon thank goodness you are alright."
"I don't understand. A blast like that from BlackWarGreymon should have killed us."
"I don't understand it either. I just remember seeing a bright blast and..."
The door opened to the room she was in and Davis walked in. He was covered in bandages as well. Veemon followed him in and was just as injured. Kari looked up at him and started to get tears in her eyes. He and Ken tried their best to defend them and even they weren't strong enough. She could see the defeat in his eyes as he sat down in a chair by the bed.
"Davis..."
"I tried Kari. Ken tried. We just..."
"And that is all we can do," she then put a hand on his cheek "We will figure out something."
Davis leaned into her touch. He brought his own hand up to hers and held it. He could feel himself getting stronger from her touch. He didn't know a simple gesture could do this to him. They were just looking into each others eyes in silence. Kari then thought about the others.
"What about the others Davis? Are they okay?"
"Yeah everyone is fine. Yolei is the only one who hasn't woken up yet."
"What?!" Kari then got out of the bed and went out the the living room where some of the others were. Cody and T.K were sitting in chairs around the couch. Matt and Sora were standing in a doorway from another room. Izzy and Joe were trying to play a game of chess keeping their minds off everything. Tai and Mimi were standing by a window. Tai had his arm around Mimi while she just cried. Ken was sitting on the couch and as she walked closer she saw that Yolei's head was on his lap.
"So what happened?"
"It seems that when BlackWarGreymon attacked you all Yolei tapped into her power and protected everyone," Gennai said.
Joe and Izzy stopped their game while the others circled around Gennai. Gennai explained that Yolei still had her power in her from the past. He said that she must have tapped into it unconsiously when BlackWarGreymon attacked. That was the only explanation the attack did not kill them when it should have.
"When will she wake up?" Mimi asked.
"Soon I hope. She is not used to using it. All we can do is wait."
Mimi then walked out of the house. Tai followed suit to make sure she was okay. Sora was leaning against Matt for support. He placed a small kiss on the top of her head. Kari who was standing next to Davis just put her hand in his. Davis gave it a squeeze in return. His way of showing that he was there for her. Kari looked over at Ken who was holding back his tears. She watched as one hand was holding hers and the other was running his fingers through her hair. Kari could tell he was whispering to her. Cody was watching just waiting for her to open her eyes. Kari then looked to T.K who was looking at her. Not just at her but at her hand holding Davis'. She then saw him smile at her and she smiled back.
Outside Mimi was sitting in the middle of the flower field. She remember the first time they were brought here and the flowers just appearing like it was yesterday. She picked a beautiful bright pink flower and held it up to her. Mimi couldn't help the tears that fell. Sure Gennai just said Yolei and everyone else was going to be okay but what if it wasn't. If this BlackWarGreymon is as strong as he seems they may never defeat him.
"Hey Meems."
"Don't call me that Tai."
"Sorry."
"What will happen Tai?"
"What do you mean?"
"What if we can't stop BlackWarGreymon? Also I am sure Arukenimon will keep making more Digimon with those damned Spires."
"Mimi we can't think like that. We need to be strong."
"But I'm not strong Tai! Not like everyone else."
"Yes you are. You are one of the strongest people I know."
"I know you are just saying that Tai."
"No I'm not. Mimi please look at me. You could always tell when I was lying. I think having the Crest of Sincerity you could sense when people weren't or were."
Mimi then looked at Tai. She could tell that he was being honest with her. She also knew Tai would knowingly lie to her. Maybe he would to protect her but not with this. Not with so much on the line for them and their friends. Tai then took the flower she picked from her hands and put it in her hair. She smiled as his hand lingered in her hair. Mimi then did something she thought she would never be brave enough to do. She brought her lips to his.
Tai was shocked at first. He didn't know how to react. Sure he always thought Mimi was beautiful and his feelings for her he tried to hide since she moved to America. He thought with her gone he would never have a chance with her. He quickly quieted his thoughts and returned her kiss.
Mimi didn't think he would return the kiss. She was just taking a chance. When they were younger he and Matt would always fight over Sora. She didn't think Tai would ever notice her. She is happy that she now knew she had some kind of chance with him and hopefully it would work out.
They broke apart when they heard something or someone coming towards them. Tai immediately turned around ready to protect her from whoever it might be. But he dropped his guard when he saw it was just Izzy coming to them.
"Izzy what is it?"
"It's Yolei. She is awake."
Tai and Mimi looked at each other and then took off after Izzy back to the house. Mimi hoped that Yolei was okay. She was hoping everything would be okay. She knew Tai was right. She was strong but she was stronger when she was with everyone. Especially with Tai. He brought it out in her. She realized that now. Mimi knew she needed to be here with everyone again but how to convince her family of that she needed to figure out.
When they got back to the house Yolei was sitting up hugging Hawkmon. Mimi could hear Hawkmon saying how he couldn't breath. Yolei didn't care. She was just happy he was okay. She was happy they were all okay. Gennai had explained to her that she had saved them all. She remembered the light surrounding her and the others but she thought is was BlackWarGreymon's attack. Ken was just sitting there rubbing her back.
"Now that you are all okay you can go back. Being here healed you all."
Everyone took in Gennai's words and took off all the bandages. They had a few cuts here and there but everything else was healed. Yolei then looked at Ken. Yes everything from BlackWarGreymon was healed except for the slap she gave him. She reached up and put her hand there. He didn't pull away.
"I am so sorry."
"Don't be. I deserved it. I will just try to not make you so mad again." Ken then turned his head and kissed her palm.
Then next thing they knew they were actually back in the Real World and Mimi was back in New York. Davis and the others were back in the Computer lab. Ken and Yolei nowhere in sight.
"They must be back where they entered the Digital World. Probably Ken's apartment," Kari said.
"I can't believe being at Gennai's healed us."
"Think about it Davis. That place alone has a lot of power with Gennai there. If it healed all of us that quickly think of the help it did for the Digimon."
"Cody is right Davish. I feel like I could take on BlackWarGreymon again."
"Let's not rush it. We definitely need to come up with a plan to stop him before we go back in guns blazing."
"Davis is right. I just hope Yolei is really okay."
"I am sure she is. Ken is with her so she isn't alone."
Kari looked up at T.K and nodded.
In Tamachi Ken and Yolei were back in his room. Wormmon and Poromon were on the floor. Yolei picked Poromon up and walked over to Ken's bed. She sat down and held him to her. Ken went over and sat next to her. He put his arm around her and Wormmon crawled into Ken's lap.
"What are we going to do? Eventually Arukenimon will realize that she can't kill us with me there to somehow have the power to protect everyone."
"We will figure it out Yolei. I promise." He then placed a kiss on her temple.
"Can I stay here?"
"What?"
"Can I stay here? Just for tonight? I don't think I have the strength to go home."
"Sure. Let me just let my parents call yours."
Ken got up and walked out of the room. Yolei then laid down on the bed. She could hear Ken talking to his parents. Ken had made up a lie about how she had a fight with her sisters and she didn't want to go home until she knew they wouldn't be there tomorrow. Ken's parents were reluctant to agree but they didn't want to send the poor girl home if she wasn't going to be comfortable there. She could then here Ken's mother on the phone. She was hoping her mother would answer the phone and not her father. She was lucky enought to hear Mrs. Ichijouji say hello to Mrs. Inoue. She fell asleep before she could hear the rest of the conversation.
When Ken's mother said everything was all set and that her mother understood why Yolei would want to keep her distance from her older sisters. Their tempers were sometimes worse than her own. Ken was thankful that Yolei's mother was understanding. He walked back into his room and closed the door. He could see Yolei was already fast asleep. Wormmon was curled up next to her and she was still holding Poromon. He could tell Poromon was slightly struggling against her. Ken went to his closet and grabbed a blanket and a empty laundry basket. He remembered Yolei had made a little bed for him so he did the same. He carefully took Poromon out of her grasp and put him in the makeshift bed. He quickly settled down and was fast asleep.
Ken walked over to the bedroom door and locked it. He walked over and took Yolei's glasses off before he got into bed behind Yolei. He intended to stay on one side of the bed the best he could but when he looked over to her shaking under the covers he moved right behind her. He put his arm around her waist and found her hand. She stopped shaking immediately and Ken was soon asleep himself.
Okay that is Chapter 16. I know Ken has a bed you have to climb into but I made a change to that. I hope everyone doesn't mind.
Again I am not sure when I will update again. It might not be until November so bear with me! I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and as always please leave a review!
