Chapter 29: BlackWarGreymon's Redemption

Cody was sitting in the dining room with his grandfather. They were getting ready to eat and Cody was sitting in front of the shrine for his father praying when he heard the floor creak underneath the table.

"Cody what was that noise?"

"Oh that was my stomach grandpa. I am just hungry.

"But I think it came from under the table."

Cody watched as his grandfather put his prune juice pouch under the table which Armadillomon happily took from him. "Hey whatever is down there took my prune juice."

"Uh oh. I think I did a boo-boo."

"It is okay Armadillomon. We all make mistakes."

"Either I am hearing things or that stuffed animal just talked."

"Grandpa I can explain."

"I am quite certain that isn't a stuffed animal Cody. Also that it isn't from this world."

"Grandpa?"

"He is from a Digital place isn't he Cody?"

"Yes. He is from the Digital World but how do you know about it?"

"Digital World, is that what you kids are calling it these days? Your father used to play video games as a kid and he talked about a place where creatures could talk to him in the game."

"You mean my father has been to the Digital World?"

"Well I am not sure he has ever been to this place but he claimed to have seen it from the T.V screen while playing his games."

"Cody?"

"Yes mom?"

"I hope you don't plan on going out on your own today."

"But mom my friends are expecting me."

"Cody you have been out every day this week. And with the talk of monsters I think it would be better if you stayed home."

"You worry too much. Besides all that talk of monsters is probably just rumors and hearsay. Besides we are going to go practice our Kendo."

"Huh?"

"I'll keep and eye on him, right Cody?"

"Right." 'Thanks grandpa.'

In another part of Odaiba Arukenimon, Mummymon and Oikawa found a run down, abandoned apartment building to hide in. Of course this meant that Yolei was locked in another room with no way of getting out. Yolei was sitting on the floor next to the door to try and listen in on her captors conversations. She was lucky enough that none of them knew how to talk with low voices.

"Those damned Digidestined have been snooping around and keeping tabs on those brats. Fortunately for us the dark spores are starting to take root inside their small little brains. But there is a small problem. One of the spores has grown quickly and is about to sprout from one of those kids."

"Hm this may actually work in our favor Arukenimon. If one is growing quickly then there is a chance that they might grow faster in the other children. It would be perfect to take over both worlds before schedule. We need to go to this child."

"And what about the girl?"

"She will remain here locked in her room. With those Digidestined out and about watching these kids I can't risk her out in the open."

Yolei couldn't believe her ears. She was for sure he would want her to see what the spores would do. Also he was certain with her being out would mean she would be close to her friends and they would probably win with a fight between them. She would then be returned home and with her friends. Yolei couldn't help but start to cry. She was beginning to think that she would never be able to go home.

"Sorry I'm late Mimi. My mom didn't want me to go out today but my grandpa helped me."

"It is okay Cody I can't say that I blame her. But I am glad you are here I am ready for a break."

"Well you better get going before the next shift."

"Will do. Be safe Cody."

"You too Mimi."

"Hey when you come back can you bring me some food?"

"Armadillomon you just ate."

"Yeah but when she comes back I will be hungry again."

"Don't worry I will bring you back something. I promise."

As Mimi walked away Cody could hear the young girl Noriko screaming at her mother. Cody couldn't help but think that the spore was growing to quickly. He just hoped that they would catch Oikawa, stop Mummymon and Arukenimon and get Yolei back before it was too late.

"Excellent. She is progressing very nicely. And to think there is nothing you can do about it."

"Don't you come any closer." Cody then pointed his Kendo stick at Oikawa.

"I suggest you get out of the way."

"I'm not moving."

"Perhaps you are just jealous that they will become more powerful than you. Now I think you should just go home and don't interfere. This is something that they asked for. I just granted their wishes."

"How could they make a choice? You lied to them from the beginning."

"Listen you," Oikawa then saw the name on the boys bag. "Hida. I know that name. Hiroki."

"That was my fathers name what's it to you?"

"Cody get away from him."

"Mimi?"

"Don't worry boss we will eliminate the little twits for you."

"No both of you get out of here."

"Huh?"

"Don't just stand there with stupid looks on your faces looking like two idiots. I gave you and order to get out of here."

Oikawa then pushed Mummymon and Arukenimon along. He walked behind them. "If you try to follow us then I will have them attack you."

"Wait. Please, please at least tell us Yolei is okay."

"Miyako is just fine. I would never hurt a beautiful lilac hair on her head. Why would I want to harm my future bride?"

"What?!"

Back at the apartment building Yolei was sitting by the window thinking about Ken. Oh how she missed him and her other friends. She wondered if they were still even out looking for her. Oikawa had her Digivice and D-terminal. He could have at least gave her a T.V or something to pass the time. Just then she heard the door to her room being unlocked.

"Ah glad to see you are still awake Miyako."

"What do you want?"

"Please my dear don't be sour. I saw two of your friends today. And I here to get information from you on one of them."

"And what makes you think that I will give you anything?"

"You will tell me about the boy named 'Hida'."

"Cody?"

"Yes him. Tell me about his father. Was his father really Hiroki?"

"Yes his fathers name was Hiroki but how do you know that?"

"You see I did have a friend as a child. I was always alone and he never thought I was the weird kid. He too, like me, always thought there was another world."

"You mean he knew of the Digital World too?"

"Yes we both did. When we played video games in his room the game would seem like it came alive. The creatures we saw. We knew they were from a place we would love to go to."

Yolei couldn't believe what she was hearing. Cody's father knew of the Digital World and that Oikawa was helping him figure out a way to get there. "Did he know what you did with Arukenimon and Mummymon? I am sure he wouldn't of approved of that."

"No he was dead when I constructed them from my DNA. And oh how I wish he was here when I did. And you are wrong. I am sure he would have helped me."

"Cody's father was good and righteous. You are full of darkness and evil."

Oikawa then had Yolei up against the wall. "Dearest Miyako when your friends asked about you I said I would never hurt you. Don't make me out to be a liar."

Oikawa then turned and walked out of the room. Yolei was stuck where she was against the wall. Would he really consider hurting her if she questioned him again? That was definitely something she didn't want to find out.

The next day Cody was getting ready to leave his apartment to relieve Ken from watching Noriko when he decided to get some information from his grandfather. Cody needed to know the truth about his father. He walked into the kitchen where his grandfather was sitting at the table.

"Grandpa can I ask you something?"

"Of course Cody anything."

"Was my father a good person?

"Your father was a very good person. He fought on the side of justice. Why do you ask?"

"Because I met someone who said he knew him when they were younger and that they were friends."

"Oh and who was this man?"

"His name is Oikawa."

"Oikawa, you say? Well that is interesting. You better get going Cody before you are late."

"Right, thanks grandpa."

"You're welcome."

Ken was following Noriko and messaging Cody every now and then so he would know where they were. He wasn't expecting her to leave her apartment today but with her on the move it would be better if Oikawa showed up. This way they were in the open to fight if need be. He could only hope Oikawa would show. He wanted to know if Yolei was okay. He wanted her to be back with him. He missed holding her and hearing her voice. Noriko turned a corner and he knew he couldn't think about Yolei or he would be distracted.

"Hey why are you following me?"

Ken stopped and Noriko had turned to him. "I was hoping to talk to you."

"And why would I want to talk to you. You gave all of this up. That is foolish. Now I am more superior than you."

"And don't you see what is happening to you Noriko?"

"I am becoming smarter. What more could a girl ask for?"

"Noriko please listen to me..."

"No I want you to shut up and leave me alone!"

Noriko walked away when he saw Cody coming up to his out of the corner of his eye. "Hey Ken what happened?"

"I tried to get through to her but she wouldn't listen."

"Is the spore really that far along?"

"So it seems."

"Ken, Cody!"

"Davis why are you here?"

"Matt came and relieved me so I thought I would see how you were making out. I followed your signal on my D-3. What is going on dude?"

"Not making much progress."

Noriko suddenly stopped in her tracks. She was feeling a pain. Nothing she had ever felt before. She removed her scarf and Cody could see the bar code on her neck was a bright red. "Look something is wrong with Noriko."

"Dude Ken you must have really made her mad."

"I'll say." Veemon added.

They watched as she suddenly grabbed her head and let out a scream. "What is happening to me? My head is killing me."

"Wormmon you and the others go see if she needs help."

"You got it Ken." Wormmon and the other two Digimon stopped in their tracks when she let go of her head and stopped screaming. "Look there is a glow around her."

"What do you think it means?"

"I am not sure Armadillomon but the spore is sprouting and flowering."

They then heard a laugh coming from behind the trees. Oikawa walked into the open with Arukenimon and Mummymon in their Digimon forms ready to fight if need be. Davis looked to Ken who nodded in return. No words had to be said and their Digimon Digivolved. Paildramon stood ready to attack if anyone made one wrong move. It didn't take long for Mummymon and Arukenimon to attack. Oikawa then picked up Noriko and ran off with her.

"We need to follow him."

"Cody is right and besides he might lead us to where Yolei is."

"Armadillomon do your thing."

"You got it Cody. Armadillomon Armor Digivolve to...Digmon, The Drill of Knowledge."

"Oh you think you can join the fight? I don't think so. Snake Bandage."

"Here let me help Mummymon. Acid Mist."

"No Digmon." Cody said as he watched his Digimon revert back to Armadillomon.

Oikawa stopped running when there was a good distance away from the Digidestined but they were still in eye sight. He knew with Mummymon and Arukenimon taking care of Paildramon he was safe to harvest the spore. He let Noriko back on the ground carefully. Not that he didn't want to hurt her but he didn't want anything to happen to the spore.

"Noriko please get away from him."

"Why would I want too? I am fine right here."

"Ken it's no use she will still under his control. There is no getting through to her."

"Davis there has to be something we can do?"

"I'm sorry Ken but I have to agree with Davis. It seems there isn't anything we can do to help."

Noriko then turned to Oikawa. "I'm ready."

Without saying a word he simply put his hand over the flower. All the power the flower was radiating was being absorbed by him. All Ken, Davis and Cody could do was watch as all the color seemed to drain from Noriko's skin. Cody then ran up behind Oikawa and stopped just short afraid of what would happen to him if he got to close.

"Let her go. You can't use her energy just to make yourself more powerful. It's not right, your just using her."

"Don't you see that she is doing this of her own free will? Now mind your own business."

"Yeah leave us alone."

Once Oikawa collected all the energy from the flower, it dissintegrated from the top of her head and she fainted against him. The glow from the flower went around him. He then turned to the three Digidestined and toss her to them. Cody caught her before she could hit the ground.

"Here take her. I have no use for her now."

Ken and Davis ran up to Cody. Ken took Noriko from Cody. "You are nothing but a liar and a coward."

"A coward? I think that you would be the coward. You could be improving your mind instead of this 'saving the world' mindset you have. Don't you see where that got your father?"

"How dare you talk about my father that way. You have no right to call yourself his friend."

Oikawa let out a growl and Cody took a step back. The energy he got from the flower started to glow around him again. He knew he had to be rid of these Digidestined now. Oikawa was about to attack when a dark cloud appeared in the sky.

"Dude look at that."

"It's BlackWarGreymon. Where did he come from?"

"I think the energy Oikawa is radiating from the spore he could sense. So BlackWarGreymon just came to where the power is. We need to do something Davis."

"Yeah but what Ken? I certainly don't want to get in BlackWarGreymon's way. He seems to want to get rid of Oikawa."

"But we can't let him do that. If he does then we will never find Yolei."

"Aw dude your right!"

"Hahaha you really think we are going to find Miyako? With the power and energy I get when the spores flower Miyako and I will be the most powerful beings in the Digital World and the Real World!"

"Yolei will never side with you."

"You poor naive boy. Once I get everything I need and you are all out of the way Miyako will not have a choice!"

"Do you think that I will let that happen. Like I told you before Oikawa you are a foreign object to both Worlds. And I know how it feels to be a foreign object. Just looking for power when it only brings your more loneliness."

"By the time I am done with all of you I will not have a problem with loneliness. And the power you have from the Control Spires will give me more energy!"

"Do you really think you can take me on? Me a Digimon and you a human?"

"I wouldn't underestimate me BlackWarGreymon. I will show you my power!"

"Cody look out!" Davis yelled to the boy.

Cody couldn't move. He saw the energy coming at him. He knew he wouldn't make it if it hit him. He heard Paildramon trying to get to him but it seemed everything was moving slowly around him. Is this what happens when your life is about to end? What upset him more was that he wouldn't see Yolei again. His very best friend was missing and he couldn't save her. Before the attack hit him someone jumped in front of him taking the attack in full.

"BlackWarGreymon!"

"Dude did you see that? BlackWarGreymon protected Cody."

BlackWarGreymon knelled down and put his hand over his wound. When he looked back up at Oikawa he saw a shadow of a face go over Oikawa's. BlackWarGreymon never knew he would know what it was like to feel fear but he did now. And he didn't like that fear was going to be his last feeling before he died.

"You are a fool BlackWarGreymon. And now you are a dying fool."

"Don't you see you are being controlled?"

"I am done talking to you. Besides you will be gone soon. I need to finish harvesting the spores."

As Oikawa walked away BlackWarGreymon almost fell to the ground before Paildramon caught him. Paildramon thought for sure he was talking nonsense saying Oikawa was being controlled by some unseen force but, the more he thought about it the more it did kind of make sense to him. BlackWarGreymon tried to stand again.

"Please save your strength."

"I can feel the Control Spires I am made from slowly disintegrating in my body. But there is one last thing I have to do. My strength is my final gift for you my friends. Friends I never thought I would get to say that to all of you. But I consider you all that way now and this gift is to you. I will seal the gate at Heighton View Terrace with my own body.

And with his final words BlackWarGreymon took off into the sky. As soon as he got over Heighton View Terrace his body broke up into small pieces. Yolei who could see Heighton View Terrace out her window saw the small particles in the sky. She started to cry.

"Thank you BlackWarGreymon. Somehow I know it is you helping us in the end. I really hope it is enough to keep Oikawa out of the Digital World."

There is chapter 29. I am almost at the end. I never thought I would make it this far in this story. I thought for sure I would end up dropping this story or people would stop reading it. So I just want to thank all the people who do still read this story and enjoy it thus far. You guys keep me going until the end!
