Author's note: I apologize for the slow update. I was trying my best to write this story because of writer's block. I had a hard time writing this so I had to take a break. I decided to go to adult education to take a writing class to sharpen my writing skill so that I don't want to become a plagiarist. So again, I apologize for being unable to upload a chapter. Anyway, enjoy chapter 18.
They arrived at the throne room. The doors were closed with beautiful crystallized doors embedded with pearls and sapphires, engravings of embroidery motifs, and shiny diamonds. The diamonds had each side as a doorknob.
"AncientWisemon must be inside," Davis whispered as he opened the doors with both hands.
Inside there were more beautiful crystallized ice pillars, even the ceiling, and the floor. There were treasure chests filled with crystals and gems. And now there was a boss, AncientWisemon. Its appearance of a gigantic mirror shrouded in a green robe and it was wielding a feathered fan.
"So, you have arrived at my throne and taken down my minions," said AncientWisemon.
"And you're AncientWisemon who has taken a castle and imprisoned the queen, you think by doing so you caused a lot of problems? " Davis yelled.
"You kids are to blame, the Digimon and my minions listened to all my commands until you showed up, you foolish children," AncientWisemon said.
"They listened out of fear, not respect or loyalty, but the fear of being deleted," TK said.
"Maybe so, but still they listened until you came. Now you shall pay for your intrusion in MY KINGDOM!" AncientWisemon said in anger.
"You mean SnowQueenmon's kingdom? The kingdom you stole right under her?" Paildramon said.
"I deserve to be King of this kingdom. I worked hard and what did I receive? NOTHING is so UNFAIR!" AnceintWisemon said.
SnowQueenmon entered the Throne Room and tried to talk with AncientWisemon. As she entered the threshold of the door she spoke.
"AncientWisemon, it is not too late that all the damages can be repaired," SnowQueenmon said.
"Are you telling me that I can repair what I caused, SnowQueenmon?" AncientWisemon responded to the queen.
"We're here to take you down, AncientWisemon," said Davis.
"Hmph, you think you stand a chance to beat me? Well, then you shall perish by entering my castle. Elder Sign!" AncientWisemon used his power to summon the ultimate evil god from the spirit world, "ELDER SIGN: The God Of Parallel Connection!"
"WHAT IS THAT?!" Kari cried.
"I am ELDER SIGN GOD OF THE PARALLEL CONNECTION!" Corruptasoulmon yelled.
"GATOMON Warp Digivolve to OPHANIMON!"
"PATAMON Warp Digivolve to SERAPHIMON!"
"VEEMON Warp Digivolves to ULFORCEVEEDRAMON!"
"Wormmon Warp Digivolves to BANCHOSTINGMON!"
"Hawkmon Warp Digivolves to VALKYRIMON!"
"Armadillomon Warp Digivolves to GOLDRAMON!"
"Attack them!" AncientWisemon ordered his creator to attack them and charge at them.
"THE RAY of VICTORY!" A flash of beam easily shot Corrutasoulmon from the V-Shaped armor on his chest and got completely annihilated.
"Wh-what?!" AncientWisemon was shocked that his creature was annihilated.
"It's over for you, AncientWisemon. STRIKE of the SEVEN STARS!" He fired seven super-heated spheres of light at AncientWisemon while mega Digimon joined the attack.
"EDEN'S JAVELIN!"
"GOD FLAME!"
"EXPLOSION THUNDERSTORM!"
"LASER JAVELIN!"
"DRAGON IMPULSE X!"
AncientWisemon was engulfed in an explosion that caused his mirror body to shatter into pieces and the enemy was finally demolished. "NOOOOO!" AncientWisemon screamed fading away.
"We did it!" Yolei laughed in exultation.
The group laughed and Davis gave them a thumb up, UlforceVeedramon thumbed up back at Davis, and they De-Digivolved. SnowQueenmon walked towards them and thanked Digidestined.
A moment later, the crowd of ice Digimon started to celebrate and the sound of fanfare horns, throwing confetti.
"YAY!" The crowds of Digimon yelled as they recognized their heroes the Digidestined. The heroes felt the love and appreciation from everyone.
The heroes begin to wave and smile back to everyone thanking them as well for the respect and SnowQueenmon made an honor speech.
"We are here to thank the Digidestined for, without them, AncientWisemon would have succeeded in summoning the evils known as Elder Sign. They appeared just in time for our need and did everything they could even reaching out to help save AncientWisemon. Although he had been defeated and destroyed, he continued on with his path. I, SnowQueenmon, now offer these rewards as a thank you. "Please accept these gifts from me and our kingdom."
SnowQueenmon waved her wand, spiraling into beautiful crystals of necklaces. Those were colored pendants.
"Oh, it's so beautiful!" said Yolei.
"These are so cool," Davis said.
"Thank you," said TK.
"You are most welcome. I do hope we'll meet again, you're welcome in our kingdom anytime." smiled SnowQueenmon.
"Let's go back to our real world," said Kari.
"Yeah, Davis, I'm starving," said Veemon.
"Okay, let's head back to the computer lab," said Davis.
The Digidestined teleported to the TV and returned to the real world. The colored crystals were so shiny like real diamonds.
"Look how dazzling they are, I can't keep my eyes off of it. It's like I'm watching QVC on TV," said Yolei.
"Yeah, the crystals are pretty well made," said Kari.
"Thanks to SnowQueenmon, I'm gonna wear it as a good luck charm," said Davis.
"How come?" asked TK.
"Because it's going to be a basketball tournament tonight," said Davis.
"Right, but you can't wear it because it might fall from your neck and you lose it," said TK.
"These crystals are pretty rare. I think it's a healing crystal," said Cody.
"Healing crystal?" asked Kari.
"Yeah, crystals that heal the body and soul. Healing crystals can help you realign and recalibrate your energies. Made up of powerful vibrational energies, healing crystals are capable of raising your vibration and bringing lasting change to all aspects of your life. You will gain transformational power from them, no matter what your goal is." Cody said.
"That's cool," said TK.
"I'm gonna have positive energy with this crystal. I have a stress issue," said Yolei.
"I hope that crystal does help," said TK.
"And I'm gonna become successful," said Davis.
After school, the kids walked home from school. The sun went down, the sky mixed with yellow, pink, and blue.
DemiVeemon and Davis had just eaten dinner. Davis was in his room and clenched his hands around the crystal and silently chanted to become successful and give him good luck. He was so ready to play in the tournament. He grabbed a basketball jersey, shorts, socks, wristbands, and sneakers. He wouldn't forget the water bottle and put it in the duffel.
"I wish you good luck at the basketball tournament, Davis," said DemiVeemon.
"Thanks. I'll see you later." Davis went out of his room and got into Dad's car and drove to a basketball stadium.
Meanwhile at Dai-Ichi Hotel
Drusilla groggily woke up from her slumber. The medication had worn off. She groaned as she got up from the bed and headed to the bathroom. She turned on the bathroom light, went to the toilet then slid her panties down to her knees, sat on the toilet with the sound of tinkling into the toilet bowl. She tore the toilet paper and wiped it underneath and flushed the toilet. She washed her hands with soap and water and then dried her hands. She got out of the bathroom to check her phone and she needed to know what time it was. It was 7:00 PM. She needed to get something to drink. Yes, to the meat market.
Drusilla took a bath with Epsom salt to reduce her pain. She wanted the pain to go away and let her body heal. She could heal her wounds within seconds only because she was a vampire. After she bathed, she got out of the tub and dried herself, and put on the red clothing. She put on her makeup and brushed her brunette hair. And she left the hotel and headed to the meat market.
Drusilla found this building for the meat market. She entered this place and explored this store. There was exotic meat and seafood on the fridge counter. She needed pig blood to heal her wound fast and get back in action. Just when the butcher came to the counter and greeted this young woman at his shop and asked what she wanted to order.
"Good evening, ma'am. What can I get for ya?" asked the butcher.
"Uh, I'm starting to wonder if you have pig blood?" answered Drusilla.
"Pig blood? Like you want blood sausage or something?" he asked.
"If you have some sort of animal blood, I'd like to get a half pint of this," explained Drusilla.
After Drusilla paid the butcher to obtain pig blood, she walked out of the meat market and started to head to the cafe to warm up the pig blood. Secretly, she would get a latte and pour pig blood into it.
She went inside the Starbucks and ordered a latte. She sat alone at the table and removed the lid and concealed the pig blood when she poured it into the latte. She then placed the lid back and drank up.
Meanwhile at the basketball stadium
The boys were in the locker room and started dressing up in basketball jerseys and shorts. Davis tied up his sneakers while TK put on a white T-shirt and blue Jersey.
And Coach Ueta appeared in the locker room and called his students to huddle up.
"Alright, guys, come huddle up here," he called as the team huddled up around him. "Alright, the kids from Sunnydale are finally here. Sunnydale is going to be rough so we have to work together and get the ball," said Mr. Ueta.
"Are they skilled, coach?" asked TK.
"Their skills are very superior, TK. Now I want you guys to get out there and show me what you got. Alright, ready? Hands out." Mr. Ueta held out his hand and the team placed theirs on top of his.
"Ready? Here we go, one, two, three! Odaiba!"
They hollered with excitement and ran out of the locker room. All the audience was in the stadium cheering on for the team.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Saitama Super Arena! Tonight we have a special team to play in this tournament. We have a team from Sunnydale, California. The Sunnydale Demons first time in over 10 years and they are up against Odaiba Royal Saints.
Odaiba Royal Saints. Center from Kyoto, Japan, number 24, Davis Motomiya!" the announcer said as the auburn-haired boy came to the court and waved at them cheering on him.
"Next up, shooting guard from Tokyo, Japan, number 15, TK Takaishi!" the announcer said as the blonde came to the basketball court waving at the audience. He could see his friends, his brother, and his parents appeared in the basketball stadium.
After the announcer finished the introduction of the team, the referee walked up to the court that he had a ball and a horn blew as he tossed the ball in the air. Miguel and Davis jumped up to reach for it. Davis smacked the ball away from Miguel far too quickly for him.
Ito, the Royal Saints, number 22, received the ball and started dribbling towards the court and passed it to Shino, the Royal Saints, number 5, who started dribbling to make his way to the hoop. As he was about to layup the hoop, however, Cordell, the Demons, number 16, blocked the ball from the hoop, and Sidney, the Demons, number 33, started to pick up his incredible speed while dribbling the ball and dodged the teammate to make his way to the hoop and slammed a dunk it into the basket and earned 3 points. The audience roared in cheering and jeering.
'Damn! That kid is good.' thought TK.
Scoreboard: Royal Saints 00 vs Demons 03
Davis was dribbling across the court, with Miguel and Adam on his tail. He tossed it to TK, caught it, and dribbled towards the hoop as he did his best to dodge the teammate. He jumped up to toss the ball while the Demons players tried to knock it away from getting in, but the ball successfully made its way into the basket.
Scoreboard: Royal Saints 03 vs Demons 03
The audience was cheering as Matt shouted a way to go. Bryan, the Demons, number 18, dribbled, made his way to the hoop with tremendous speed, and shot the ball into the basket, and earned 2 points.
Scoreboard: Royal Saints 03 vs Demons 05
Danny, the Demons, number 13, dribbled with powerful speed. However, Jin, Royal Saints, number 14, knocked the ball over from his hand, dribbled to the hoop, he then tossed it to Davis. Davis dribbled as he made his way to the basket, however, Miguel blocked his way as Davis tried to pass through him, then he tossed it to Shino, Royal Saints number on the court and the Demons players blocked Shino. Shino tossed the ball to Davis. Davis took his chance and tried to dunk the ball, but Miguel shoved Davis to knock away from the basket as the ball rolled onto the floor. The referee blew a whistle to call it a foul.
TK ran towards Davis to make sure he was unhurt. "Are you okay?" asked TK, worriedly.
"I'm fine, TA, but damn, how did they learn how to play basketball with such crazy speed?" asked Davis.
"No idea, but they probably used treadmills for a week. We've never had such a thing with speeding," said TK as he helped Davis to get up.
The referee called it a time-out as the players took a break. They were sitting down on the bench, wiping the sweat with towels and drinking Gatorade. Coach Ueta asked the teammate what happened and Davis explained to him that they had unnatural speed and they couldn't keep up. Coach Ueta told them those players had such incredible skills and he didn't know how Coach Smith made them with incredible speed, but these players were highly skilled and they were unbeatable.
The Royal Saints were pretty skeptical because they knew they would never win. However, Davis refused to give up.
"Well, I'm not giving up. We'll beat them, no matter what," said Davis.
"He's right, Coach. We still have a fighting chance and never lose our hopes," TK said. "I don't care if we lose, we can defeat them and go back to Sunnydale."
"Alright, when you're ready for another round, so try not to lose," said Coach Ueta.
"Got it, coach," said Davis.
The referee blew a whistle to get back on the court and resume the game.
"Alright, go for it," said Coach Ueta. The players get back on the court and play for another round.
Meanwhile at the B ONE
Drusilla was in the bathroom washing her hands. She walked to the dryer to blow her hands dry until the moisture dried up. When she finished, she walked out of the ladies' restroom. She walked to the counter and ordered the bartender to get her something alcoholic. The bartender nodded his head and made her a drink while Dru turned her head to watch sports TV. It was a youth basketball game.
The bartender was done and gave her a drink. She thanked the bartender as she turned around and started watching sports TV and took a sip of it. When she saw it, her eyes widened a bit when she saw TK on TV. She was a little surprised that he was on a team. TK was on the Royal Saints team. The other team was the Demons from Sunnydale. Sunnydale?
They were from southern California. Did they visit Japan, too?
Back at the stadium.
The referee tossed the ball in the air, Miguel smacked the ball, as Quinn, the Demons, number 33, dribbled it to the other side with such impossible speed and shot the ball into the basket to score 3 points.
Scoreboard: Royal Saints 23 vs Demons 30
Back at the Sport Bar
'What the hell? Since when did they have such incredible speed? I know this is a speed dribble, but it's impossible that you cannot catch them with a speed increase. Wait, could that be…?' thought Drusilla.
"Uh, excuse me. Would you mind turning it up a little bit?" Drusilla asked the bartender.
"Not at all, ma'am," he turned the volume up a bit, trying to hear what the host said.
"Takeru's just caught the ball and he's taking the shot! The opposition is on him but he leaps right up and the ball sails over them and… yes! It's in!" shouted the host.
Drusilla looked at the scoreboard on the TV screen.
Scoreboard: Royal Saints 28 vs Demons 30
'I hope TK wins. They are no ordinary players." thought Drusilla.
Drusilla was so worried. She knew this kid when she was in the hospital. He was sweet and gentle to her. She hoped TK would win this competition.
Back at the stadium
This was the final quarter. TK and Miguel stood at the court and stared at each other. Miguel had tanned skin, piercing brown eyes, black spikey hair with fringe. He had one gold hoop earring on his left ear. This boy was handsome. Miguel smirked at him while TK made him scowl. Staring at each other for a second when the referee appeared on the court with a ball in his hand. TK looked at Miguel's brown eyes, however, his eyes glowed terrifyingly yellow. TK gasped in fear. The referee tossed the ball in the midair, Miguel suddenly smacked the ball, as Quinn received the ball and dribbled towards it with lighting speed, TK mentally cursed as he tried to chase after them.
As Quinn made his way to the hoop and was ready to dunk the basket, however, Shino blocked the ball away from the basket it was goaltending.
TK was shocked but relieved. Davis ran towards TK and asked.
"Hey, are you okay?" Davis asked.
"It's Miguel…" said TK quietly.
"What about him?" he asked.
"He's not even human. I looked into his eyes, it's like they glow yellow," said TK.
"What? Are you saying he's a Digimon?" asked Davis.
"Not exactly. He's something else. A demon." shivered TK.
"C'mon, you're giving me a creep. We've got a game to do. Besides, look at the score we earned and we have five minutes left. So stop being paranoid about it and get your head in the game." said Davis.
"A-are you sure?" asked TK.
"Yeah. So come on, we have to beat these losers," said Davis.
Davis was right, they couldn't let those demons win.
"I hope you're right, Davis. I hope you're right," said TK.
The referee blew a whistle as Yoni, Royal Saints, number 7 received the ball and started to dribble towards the court while the Demons team came to him. Yoni passed the ball to Shino. Shino caught the ball as Daniel blocked his way. Shino dribbled between his legs, and then he ran past him. But Daniel caught Shino with his speed, tripped him, and sprained his ankle. Shino cried in agony.
TK gasped as he saw Shino hurt, the audience gasped in awe. Daniel smirked and moved away from Shino and regrouped with his team. TK, Davis, and Coach Ueta ran to Shino if he was okay. Shino's eyes shut and tears flowed down his face. His face grimaced in pain. Coach Ueta held his ankle gently, Shino moaned in pain. It was bad. Coach Ueta shouted to the medics and took him to the infirmary.
The medics brought a cot and gently picked up Shino with his sprained ankle, and got him on the cot, and took him to the infirmary. The referee blew a whistle to time-out and took a break.
The Royal Saints team sat on the bench in disappointment, conflict, and defeat.
"Gentlemen, this is very bad news. Without Shino, he won't be able to play this game with his condition. He has a major injury. Though he was taken to the hospital." said Coach Ueta.
"Well, that's bullshit! We never stand a chance against them! I think I'll forfeit this match." said Ito.
"What, you're gonna quit?! Just like that?!" Coach Ueta exclaimed, "Why do you want to quit?"
"Because they're playing unfairly, Coach! They're always playing dirty and beating our asses!" Ito yelled. "So I quit! I never want to play basketball again!"
"Ito, don't! Quitting is not an option! We need you." said TK.
"That's right, Shino is your friend. He was rooting for you, and he wanted you to win this competition," said Davis.
"But… but what if we lose? There's no way we can win. I saw this guy's eyes just flashed yellow." said Ito, sad and frightened.
"Hold on. What do you mean, his eyes flashed yellow?" asked Coach Ueta.
"I saw it myself, Coach. He and I stood there at the basketball court, his eyes glowed yellow. Who are these people, Coach?" asked TK.
Coach Ueta turned his head to look at the Demons team, and their coach, Mr. Smith, who was tall, athletic, and muscular. He was in his 30s, he had slick black hair and a beard, he was wearing a black Nike jacket, pants, and white sneakers. He was standing there with his arms crossed, then he turned his head to look at Coach Ueta, smiling wickedly. Both of his eyes glowed yellow.
Coach Ueta was frozen in fear as his spine chilled. He had never seen a man so scary. It was quite frightening.
"Uh, you okay, Coach?" asked Davis, worriedly.
Coach Ueta snapped back to reality. "Uh, yeah. Uh– Are you going to win or are you going to forfeit? What's it gonna be?"
The Royal Saints team stood there in silence for a moment until one of the players broke the silence.
"I'll do it." said the black-haired boy with bangs covering his eyes.
"Kenji," said TK.
Kenji had ivory skin, he was tall and slender built. He wore a Royal Saints jersey number 01.
"I'll do it. I don't care if they're demons or not. I'm not afraid of them. Even if we lose, we'll have to win this match." said Kenji.
"Okay, are you quick enough to play this basketball game?" asked Coach Ueta.
Kenji nodded, "As long as I'm with you, I will be able to help you guys. What do you say, Ito?"
Ito took a deep sigh. "I'll give it a try. Despite being scared, we'll bring them down."
"That's a spirit, Ito. So, Kenji, what's the plan?" asked TK.
Kenji huddled up and made a plan to beat the Demons team. They separated and Davis said, "Not a bad plan. I like it."
They returned to the court, Davis and Daniel stood at the center of the court, the referee tossed the ball in the air, Davis quickly hopped and smacked the ball away from Daniel. Now Ito received the ball and dribbled through the court as the Demons approached him. Ito tossed it to Kenji, dribbled the ball toward the basket as he was quick enough to dodge the Demons team with their insane speed to catch him. Kenji tossed it to Yoni, and Yoni shot the ball into the hoop to earn 2 points.
Scoreboard: Royal Saints 30 vs. Demons 30
TK looked at the scoreboard that it was a tie, but 30 seconds remained. He smiled at this. He knew he could win. They could do it, too.
Kenji placed his hand on TK's shoulder to get his attention. Kenji smiled at him and TK chuckled warmly.
"I told you we could do this." smiled Kenji.
"Yeah, and we got 30 seconds. Think you can handle it?" asked TK.
"Yeah, we'll do it one time. But we have to be cautious. "Cause it's going to be a rough final," said Kenji, in a serious voice.
"Yeah, I'm aware of that, said TK.
Back on the court, Kenji and Miguel stood in the center and the referee tossed the ball in the air. Kenji smacked the ball away from Miguel, and Davis caught the ball and dribbled toward the hoop. He tried his best to avoid the Demons team.
"Davis, pass!" shouted Kenji. Davis tossed it to Kenji, he caught the ball and made his way to the hoop, and then he tossed it to Ito, Daniel blocked his way as Ito dribbled between his legs, Ito glanced at Jin that was Kenji wide open, and he tossed it to Jin.
Jin caught the ball and dribbled toward the hoop while the time was counting down. Miguel and Quinn were coming at Jin from behind.
Jin tossed it to TK, he caught the ball, made his way to the hoop, while his teammates were defending him from the Demons team. The clock counted down in 10 seconds. TK made it to the hoop. Dramatically, he dunked a slam in the basket and scored 2 points.
Scoreboard: Royal Saints 32 vs Demons 30
The audience was cheering loudly that Royal Saints had won this competition. The Royal Saints hugged together as they hollered happily, and the Demons were disappointed.
Back at the bar
Drusilla whooped and hopped up and down that TK had won the basketball tournament on TV. The people looked at Drusilla and she looked at them. It was embarrassing.
Drusilla nervously chuckled, "Uh, sorry about that."
Suddenly, Drusilla cried in pain clutching her hands on her head, and lying on the floor.
In her vision, a petite girl with short brown hair with a pink hair clip, wearing a pink and white shirt, yellow shorts was attacked by an older male vampire at someone else's house while they were having a party. Drusilla was horrified as he was going to kill this young girl.
Back to reality, the crowd came to her, asked Drusilla if she was alright.
Drusilla told them she was okay and bolted out of the bar, and she hurried to the house, or else the situation began.
Back at the stadium tournament
Saints still celebrated as the referee gave TK a trophy, the newscasters flashed cameras and a brown-haired woman came to interview TK.
"Congratulations on playing in a basketball competition!" said the interviewer.
"Thank you," TK said.
"So, TK, since you won this tournament, how are you able to practice to do a dunk slam?" she asked.
"Well, I remember watching Michael Jordan do a slam dunk on TV when I was a kid. As I practiced running, jumping-roping, and doing 50 burpees 3 times a week, I managed to learn how to do a slam dunk. My goal was to become a professional basketball player because of him." stated TK.
"Wow, that's awesome! So you become a professional basketball player in the NBA. Would you like to meet Micheal Jordan in person?" asked the interviewer.
"Uh, I'd love to, but I feel that it's a team effort so I feel my teammates should meet him as well," said TK.
"Okay. Well, I guess that's it. I appreciate your time, so thank you so playing a basketball game, and I hope you have a great time." said the interviewer.
"Thank you," said TK.
Just then Coach Ueta placed his hand on TK's shoulder and smiled at him proudly.
"I'm very proud of you, kiddo. That was an awesome dunk you've played," said Coach Ueta.
"Thanks, coach," said TK.
"Great job, man," said Ito.
"That was a smooth move, TK. You'd be like Micheal Jordan," said Kenji.
TK laughed, "Yeah, he is the greatest basketball player ever."
"Looks like we won this competition. It was a lot of fun," said Davis.
"Alright, guys, go and hit the showers. And pack your stuff and get ready to go home. Thank you for playing, everybody," said Coach Ueta.
In the locker room, the teams took hot showers to remove sweat from their bodies, and they also washed their hair. After showering, they applied deodorant spray and put on clothes. They grabbed their duffles and exited the locker room. TK and Davis saw their friends appear in the corridor.
"Hey, guys. Nice job playing a game out there,' said Tai.
"Yeah, I'm very proud of you, TK. I had no idea you knew how to slam a dunk," commented Matt.
"I practiced a lot, Matt. Just before I went to the tournament, I learned a couple of dribbling techniques," said TK.
"By the way, I saw those teams running through to you guys with crazy speed. That was bizarre," said Kari.
"Yeah, what a strange sight. I wonder how they were able to run that fast?" asked Tai.
"Beats me. TK said Miguel's eyes glowed yellow," said Davis.
"What do you mean, Miguel's eyes glowed yellow?" asked Tai.
"I saw it myself. We stared at each other for a second, then his eye flashed yellow. I was creeped out." explained TK.
"That's weird. Inhuman speed and eyes glowing yellow," Tai said. "Who the hell were those people?"
Meanwhile
The Demons and Mr. Smith were at the abounded factory, who were dressed casually. They kneeled to Mr. Smith in shame.
"We are sorry we lost the game, Master," said Miguel.
"You played well, Miguel. No need to worry about the tournament. Still, there is a woman who has a soul. She must have visited Japan, and it'll be a pleasure to meet her. "Angelus will be delighted when we capture her," said Mr. Smith.
"Drusilla, right? She's somewhere in Tokyo right now," said Daniel.
"So, Master, what should we do first?" asked Miguel.
"Tonight you will feast and look for Drusilla. Meanwhile, I will feast on something young and pretty. Now disperse and make sure the woman is unharmed," he commanded his minions to disperse and began searching for Drusilla.
Back to the Big House
Those kids were having a party outside with loud music, chips, pizza, and soda. They were dancing and they were having fun. Matt was chilling, leaning against the tree, and drinking soda. Kari and other girls were chattering and dancing.
When Mr. Smith sneaked up the fence, he saw those people were having a party. He scanned them to find something young and pretty. Then he spotted a short brown-haired girl who wore a pink shirt. It was Kari, she was young and pretty. He thought it was perfect. He finds a way to sneak inside the house to hunt his prey.
Kari excused herself from the meeting by saying she had to go to the bathroom. As she entered the house, the outside sound could be heard. There was silence throughout the room. She walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Unbuttoning her shorts, she sat down in the bathroom and peed on the toilet. As she picked up the toilet paper, she wiped her privates. After that, she flushed the toilet. She then turned on the water to properly wash her hands. After washing her hands, she dried them with a towel. After leaving the bathroom, she heard a voice behind her.
"Hello, sweetie," called out a deep voice, startling Kari into turning around. He was in his 30s, with black hair slicked back and a scruffy beard. He was tall, muscular, and wearing all black clothes.
"Who are you?" Kari asked, feeling uneasy at the prospect of having never seen this man before.
Kari backed away from a man who was smiling wickedly at her as he walked towards her.
It doesn't matter who I am to you. I've never seen a girl like you, so young and pretty." said the man darkly.
'Young and pretty?' thought Kari. Now she was extremely uncomfortable.
"Now that you're inside, nobody can hear you. Allow me to feast on your generosity," said Mr. Smith. In a moment his face morphed into a vampire visage, his forehead grew protruding, a ridge covered the tops of his eyebrows. His blue eyes turned terrifyingly yellow and his elongated fangs looked like knives.
Kari screamed when the vampire ran into her, but Kari dodged him when he crashed into a desk. He growled as Kari whimpered as she stumbled backward. She tried to run, but the vampire grabbed her ankle, dragging it near him. Kari kicked him in the face as hard as she could, for he let go of his ankle and started running away.
Outside T.K.'s seen these two silhouettes at the window. That was Kari, and that was a... man? Was this man trying to attack Kari? Kari was in danger!
"Kari!" TK screamed. He rushed to the house as Tai, Matt, and Davis grabbed their attention and they ran away after TK.
"Come here, girl!" the vampire growled.
Kari ran to the sliding door and bumped into TK.
"Kari, are you okay?" asked TK.
"He's trying to kill me!" cried Kari.
"Stay here," said TK as he ran into the house that he would the predator.
"No, TK, don't!" cried Kari.
"Kari!" Tai cried. He was making sure that his sister was unhurt.
"The predator is inside, TK ran after him!" cried Kari.
"Call the police!" He shouted to the others, and then he rushed into the house. Kari's friends comforted and soothed her. One of them dialed 911 from her smartphone.
TK took hold of the fireplace poker used as a weapon and ventured into the house to find the predator.
"Hey, you coward! Where are you?!" TK yelled. "You'd better come out, you're gonna pay for what you did to Kari!"
"TK! Do you see him?" asked Tai.
"No, he's somewhere in the house," replied TK.
Suddenly Tai found the predator behind TK in the kitchen, trying to attack TK.
"Look out!" Tai cried as TK turned around to see the predator. His face was grotesque, with blazing yellow eyes and razor-sharp fangs. TK screamed as the vampire lunged at him, but TK dodged and hit him in the back with the fireplace poker. The vampire screamed in pain.
TK ran by Tai's side and defended himself. The vampire got up and growled at them.
"Who are you?!" yelled TK.
He said nothing and tried to attack them once again, but TK stabbed him into the vampire's shoulder as he screamed in agony and stumbled backward. The vampire groaned and removed the poker from his shoulder and started to bleed.
The vampire charged at Tai grabbed him by the neck and threw him against the wall. And he grabbed TK by the shirt and threw him to the kitchen floor. TK groaned painfully.
The vampire walked towards TK into the kitchen and grabbed the kitchen knife from the cutlery block. TK was crawling away from him as the vampires came closer. TK defended himself with his arm up, and the vampire cut him. TK screamed in pain. The vampire grinned as he raised his knife once more.
"Hey!" the vampire turned around to see the teen blonde boy as he charged the vampire and grabbed and punched him right in the face. The vampire kicked Matt off of him and started to flee from him. He ran out of the house.
Matt held his head in pain as he got up. He went to his brother who was in pain. His arm got cut.
"Matt, he got away," said TK painfully.
"Don't worry, the police will look out for him," Matt said. He grabbed the towel and wrapped it around TK's arm. "Here, apply pressure to it."
"Oww! Shit..." said TK.
Tai walked painfully through the kitchen and saw TK was badly hurt, and Kari and Davis came here as Kari placed her hand to her mouth in fear that TK was wounded.
Outside the city
Hearing the police sirens in the distance, Mr. Smith was badly injured. He hid in the alley and needed to feast and find a place to hide.
'I failed to capture this girl. Those kids are unpredictable. I need to feast until I recover to find a place to hide.' thought Mr. Smith.
Suddenly a woman in a red dress appeared in the alley. It was Drusilla.
"Y-you!" surprised Mr. Smith.
"Nicholas Smith," said Drusilla.
"I was expecting you to be here, Drusilla." laughed Nicholas.
"What do you intend to attack the other people in the night?" asked Drusilla.
"Me? Heh, I was trying to feast that girl, yet those kids beat me and I left this house. And now you're here, Drusilla. Angelus will be glad to see you that I will take you on!" said Nicholas.
Drusilla widened her eyes when she heard his name. Angelus must have survived the burning temple back in 1900 in China. Then her eyes turned angry and she stabbed Nicholas with a stake into his heart. Nicholas screamed as he exploded in dust.
Drusilla was breathing in fear, and her whole body was trembling.
'It can't be. Angelus is still alive?' thought Drusilla.
