Chapter 19: Great Loss & A Diminished Victory
Over at Lilithmon's castle... In a dark room of her's, scarcely lit by a hole above, she finds herself being gutted by me, barehandedly. Her blood and flesh sprung into my face with each swipe of my hands, followed by her stimulating, agonizing screams. "Please...PLEASE! STOP! I'll..I'LL KILL MYSELF! NO MORE!" Lilithmon pleas, "No...I want you to feel it..Every nerve..Every fiber of you...YOU'LL FEEL EVERY OUNCE OF PAIN, BITCH!" I shouted, "pleas...ple..ase...s..." she was weakly saying before almost losing consciousness...I then gave her a big chomp into her stomach, gushing her guts further out, and she gave a deafening scream before quivering. "*rubs her blood down my face* so warm...yet chilling..heheheheheh..you really are close to death..Aren't you? a *starts undoing my belt* Before you go..I'm starting to get a bit overexcited.. My heart is ready to jump out at any second...unfortunate for you, it's not the only thing ready to jump out...!" I told her with malicious grin. Though her heart was weak, it doubled it's pulse rate at that moment. "(N...No...You...Can't...Take...Me...Not like...th..this...)" she struggled to think, "If only I could kill you twice...*turns her over, seeing how pale her lower body is getting* Let's see if this'll compensat-" I was saying but I am drawn out of the experience as everything went blank.
"Human? Human?...Are you well? *sees me barely moving my eyelids*...Can you please wake up for me...Lover?" Renamon asked softly, "! *opens my eyes, sits up, heavily breathes* What...What the hell was that..? *holds my head* Not even when my Madness was at it's peak...It never got..This bad" I comment, "That's a nightmare if I've heard of one..No need to share. I believe it'll produce more restless nights" Renamon said, "Alright...Well let's say it had to do with Lilithmon and...Let's just..Go see the others" I told her and exited the confines of the barn together. Once we do, I noticed someone next to the door upon opening. Oh Bastemon? She was just leaning there to check on us I guess. "H-hey there, Renamon's partner.." she greeted a bit shyly, "Looks like you waited for us. Hope you were plenty rested then. How're the kids?" I asked her, "W-well Aegiomon is still asleep, but he might wake up from his 12hr nap soon.." she began, "(W-why does he sleep that long? o O)" I said in my head, "Morphy decided to rest with the navis, but she should be awake too. Ranamon is the only other person that's asleep" she informs, "Alright. Renamon, gather everyone by the pond. There's one last thing we need to take care of before set out" I order her, "Very well, Human" she agreed and did so as I brought out my card box from my pocket...Wait. Why's it feel lighter all of a sudden? I open it and...Since when did half of my cards just disappear on me?! There's no way...Could it've happened over night? Are Anomalies affecting the cards like this too? That's not good...That throws a wretch into things if that's the case..
Back in the real world, where NaitoRenamon and her monster-loving girlfriend, Angie, were about to put on a "Cam Show", but assailants were waiting behind the scenes. "How long do you us to hide, dammit?! Im ready to sink my teeth into that Human there...!" DarkSaber Leomon growled, "Quiet. We will start once DarkRaidenmon arrives" DarkOfanimon told him, "*looks back* Are you..Sure he's still on his way? I may need to check" (Leopard Mode) DarkDuftmon said, "Drrrr! Make it quick! Tell him we dont have all day while you're at it!" DarkWarGreymon told him, "*sees (Leopard Mode) DarkDuftmon dash off into the distance* (Soon...We'll have our revenge for the death of Barbamon and Daemon. Once NaitoRenamon is killed while in this weakened state, we can secure our spot to dominate this Human world. All we need is-) *hears a big thud from behind and it roars closer, turns around* ! W-what was that?!" DarkOfanimon reacts, "*bends over, wraps arms around her face, pinning her to the ground from above with a big devious grin* That must've been one of my Deception clones. Guess you thought I didnt have a few around when I came here. Too bad for yoooou~ u " NaitoRenamon said, piercing her claws into DarkOfanimon's face and helmet, "! When did she- Dammit all, DarkOfanimon! You were too patient! Now we have to save you! Infinity Arrow!" DarkSaber Leomon shouts, "*giggles* (Too easy) Diamond Stooorm~ xo" NaitoRenamon said, waving a hand in his direction, spawning 100s of clustered light shards and needles against his plentiful barrage of mane thorns, "*sees them get blasted away quickly by the force of them* ! (HOW THE HELL?!) *gets hit by the Diamond Storm attack, having tons of bloody impacts from them all over body and an arm flies off* GYAAAAAAGGHHHHHHH!" DarkSaber Leomon screamed in agony before being pushed through several trees, "(How...Is she still so powerful? We've trained a month prior to this and we're still no match?! I have to..At least try this!) *starts glowing* Ofanimon Digivolve tooo...!" she was saying, "*leans closer to her face* Oh you're Digivolving? As fun as that sounds..I think Im tired of you already " NaitoRenamon said, getting ready to jab her claws through Ofanimon's face. "I dont think so! *gets her attention, bringing energies into both hands to form a sphere* Gaia Force!" DarkWar Greymon shouts, blasting her with the energy ball, "(Hmmhmmhmmmm! Someone's getting a bit too hasty ewe) *puts Ofanimon in front of the attack to everyone's surprise* Power Paw! Byebye~3 ow" NaitoRenamon said, slamming her paw into DarkOfanimon's back with enough force to blow a few trees away upon impact, throttling her opponent into the blast and made her body explode into a bloody, rainy mess upon impact with her ally's attack, killing her quickly this way. "DARKOFANIMON! NOOOO! *bats eyes at NaitoRenamon as she smirks back* I Swear...YOU'LL PAY! YOU HEAR ME?!" DarkWar Greymon yells, "*rubs belly, licks lips* You look yummy..Dont end up in my stomach..It may not look it, but I have pleeeenty of room in here -w-" she told him, building his vengeful rage further. DarkSaber Leomon was waking up from his pain-induced shock and started noticing blood was dripping on him, as well as pieces of DarkOfanimon's armor falling on the ground in front of him. "No...She's...! She's already dead! THAT DAMN DARK RENAMON!" DarkSaber Leomon shouted in rage, "Oh who? Lil' ol' me? 3" a clone of NaitoRenamon said from behind while looking away innocently as his head was held in her palm, and the next instant, his head explodes upon her squeezing his skull. "*rides away with (Leopard Mode) Duftmon resting between big fingers, knocked out* (What the hell was he thinking? He went on his own) *drives through rows of trees, seeing Zephyrmon, Aero V-dramon and Vritramon closing in from behind* (I'd have a better chance these guys but now I gotta deal with them after getting their attention) *turns around, aims large barrel at them* (Maybe a Rising Sun will help me escape!)" DarkRaidenmon plots to himself while driving backwards with his flamethrower arm casted forward, "KIBAKUSOU! *generates alot of electricity into spiky iron bat and slams it into DarkRaidenmon's back at great velocity* Where do ya think you're goin'?!" Kinkakumon shouts loudly, "*feels a massive bend from behind and flips around upon impact, crashing into the ground in no time* AAAAGH..! Who...Who the hell could've..Hit me so hard? *sees Kinkakumon land in front with Lady Devimon* Was..Was it from you..? *sees her bloody arms and how she's hunched over with a big smile* An Adult class did this much to me? Yet at the cost of your arms..." DarkRaidenmon was grunting, "Heheh, I like a lil' pain here and there, sweetie..I still got a few swings in me eu;;;" Kinkakumon told him, "*gets up, seeing how DarkRaiden is stuck on the ground on his side* ! (DarkRaiden cant get up in time in that position! His wide, train-like frame cant support him enough! I have to do something!) *quickly circles around Kinkakumon and Lady Devimon, planting energy mines with tail around them, but saw NaitoRenamon for a split-second, then couldnt see them afterwards* Wait! Who was-!" Duftmon (Leopard Mode) reacts before NaitoRenamon dashes through him with a double claw strike attack, "Diamond Storm~3" she said and alot of Diamond Storm shards burst open from two big gash wounds on his back before more shot out of his eyes and mouth, killing him this way, all while Camil and Angie's Digimon were dashed away from the mines, only leaving DarkRaiden to be blown away by them. "*sees DarkRaiden being flung this way, flicks tail at him downwards, putting him in the ground with it; casts blaster in front* Atomic Corona Blaster!" Vritramon shouts, shooting incredibly hot flames down at DarkRaiden, melting away at most of his metallic body. The flames were blinding he could feel himself still being able to walk. "(So damn HOOOOOOT! I gotta get out...I GOTTA GET OUT! BUT WHERE! WHERE CAN I ESCAPE THIS HELL!)" DarkRaidenmon thought to himself, "V-WING BLADE!" Aero V-dramon shouts, slicing a big cut through him and the flames after dashing through it all with a gustful glide as he led with his blade-horn on his noes, blowing him up and the wind from the move snuffs out the caused small forest fire. "There..We did it, Vritramon" Aero V-dramon said, "Good work. All of you. *looks over at Wes, who still has a blank stare; closes eyes* Let's report back to Camil" Vritramon replied and told him, then the rest of the Tamers' mons went back to their areas. "All in a day's work I say. I didnt even have to lift a finger. *turns around* Aint that right, Naito? Naito? *doesnt see her* When did she take off?" Angie asked herself. NaitoRenamon finds herself weakly walking away, half a mile away from Angie's area, trying to use as many trees as possible for support. "*heavily breathes, drooling while holding stomach* (This...Baby...It's kicking very hard..Why cant this wait til later? Cant a mom catch a damn break? / Whatever...At least Wesly's Digivice signaled everyone in time..And that I used all those Deception clones..Heheh...I thought it'd be pretty useless, but so far..Im starting to get lil Renny-Renner's Ruler powers...Soon...Very soon...This world will be mine...Just as the Digiworld was ...Then this child...It'll be my strongest yet...It'll ensure I stay on top...! A )" NaitoRenamon plotted to herself.
It was time. Me and the team trained for one last time, with Renamon still winning against me and everyone else. We proceeded to the Dark Digiworld, skipping over and around any opposing Dark Digimon in our way, with mainly Crescemon, Ancient Mermaimon and Mervamon slaying any opposing hoards of up to Ultimate level Digimon with ease, while I flew the skies on Kyubimon's back with them. "(All these Digimon now...We're cutting through them like paper. If it weren't for this Ruler, this Digiworld would be in the palm of our hands...Though..'Father, your Digimon subjects ask for many things before returning to their world. Concerts, contests, television, games and further exploration. Some want to live in the Human world too. I am afraid I cannot speak for you here. How will you go about this? -.-'...Aside from that, there's still Verge and whatever happened to Lucemon...First things first...I have to kill her) *sees a massive pillar of gray light flashing for a moment in the distance* Hmm?!" I react, "I saw it too, Human...What the hell could it be..." Kyubimon said, "...We'll find out later. It's much further than Lilithmon's castle. Let's not lose focus" I told her and she agreed. Hmph. If it aint one thing, it's another. Like always. It shouldn't matter too much. Dealing with this final Ruler should take the longest. Though I have this setback with my cards, I made sure Aegiomon could Digivolve...Along with another person on our team. If anything happens, we all know what to do in advance. You hear that, Lilithmon...You're gonna die today for what you've done...To me...Everyone else...AND THIS DAMN WORLD! I'll make you wish you were absorbed by Bastemon when we met!...That's right...That day...I met him too..As we drew closer, I saw him. Standing in front of the castle. By himself. This damn Cyberdramon...Something was really off about him. He might be the strongest Cyberdramon in the Digiworld...Heheheheheh! That'll make killing him all the more satisfying! "I am certain you've not forgotten about him, Human...How do you want to go about this?" Kyubimon asks me, "...Put me in front of him" I told her, "Right away" she complied. Within a second, Kyubimon swiftly lands me in front of the 15ft Cyberdramon, who looked down with a smirk. "Heh! All this time, I thought you were dead! Now you come back just so I can kill you for good? It's your funeral" Cyberdramon said confidently, "Speak for yourself. You and that bitch are dying today..BASTEMON! OVER HERE!" I loudly ordered while turning around, "(Her?) *sees Bastemon zip next to me, towers over us* Heheheh! Look at this! The two victims of Lilithmon came together in front of me like this! She told me about what she made you two do and nothing else. Are both of you lovebirds now?" Cyberdramon asked tauntingly, "...I wish I was...I loved him...Ever since that moment...It hurts that I've felt like this and that I haven't been with him for so long..But he knows what to do! I know what to do! If either one of us dies, it's none of your business or anyone else's!" Bastemon told him, "Oooooo kitty has some fangs now does she? If it's only you two, maybe this'll be fun, we'll see" Cyberdramon said, "Im telling you now..It'll be more fun for me than anyone here. Unless you have fun dying, that is. (I can feel it..He has the Antibodies. It might explain why he seems more confident than usual. Whatever. He's not the only one that can transform here)" I replied. Given the situation, I cant just have out my Juga-Maru whenever I want like before. Which is fine. Im quite prepared for this battle.
"Remember, Basty. Just back me u- *sees her dash ahead of me at great speed* Huh?!" I react, seeing her push back Cyberdramon with a lunge of her claws, pushing him backwards as he guards with his forearms, which were bleeding in seconds. "Heh! You really have gotten stronger, have you little girl? *grabs both sets of her claws with a hand in a quick motion, raising her up and puts a hand to her stomach* I should've killed you like this when I first saw you...One Erase Claw is all I need!" Cyberdramon shouts, "Wild Seventh! Activate!" I called out, "*feels his grip get stronger, and shatters a few claws* AAAAGGGGHHHHHH!" Bastemon screams in agony, "Heheheheh! Good job there! Now I feel stronger! Dont tell me you've already lost i- *doesnt see me in front* Hmm? Where'd he- *is being raised up* W-what the hell?!" he reacts, "*raises him further up over my head with one hand* You dumbass. I applied it to everyone...! Wanna know why? *takes out two more cards, making them glow between my fingers* Volcano Armor! Berserker Sword! Active!" I shout, making an making an armor appear on Bastemon's body and a gray broadsword with a big yellow slab on the face of it appears in my hand. With a devilish smile, I lunge it upwards, stabbing it through Cyberdramon's back, "GYRAAAAAGHH!" he growls loudly in pain, raining spurts of blood on me as he lets go of Bastemon and I slam him down on the ground, making a big crater this way as more blood spurts on me him his large wound upon impact. "Hmmmhmmmhmmmm! How does it feel to be ran through by some Human? ONE THAT'S ABOUT TO TEAR YOU APART! " I shouted, "! (He's...So different than before. Where'd this bloodthirsty come from? Could he...Be trying to become a Digimon himself? This strength is unheard of for his kind too) *jabs at me with a claw, and I block it with the sword, flying back by a meter* (Why didnt he get sent back way further?! What the hell is this!)" Cyberdramon was thinking, "Vampire Jewel! *makes a jewel appear above him and energies from him get absorbed up into it* Im not letting you hurt him...! He's my responsibility now!" Bastemon shouts, "*bats her away* You'll have to try way harder than that! *sees her dig deep into the ground, with a fierce look in her eyes as she stops herself* Stupid girl. I'll get to you in a- *turns around to me, seeing a big streak of blood already happen with an explosive landing from my downward swung sword* Drrrrrrrghhh! *digs a claw into my chest, gets it held there as I put on a scarily serious face* Hmm?! *sees me thrust the sword at head, sways head out of the way but it gets lodged through mouth and it gets jammed between teeth, jerks away with a blood mouth* GRRRAAAGGHHHH!" he howls, "*sees him turn away while holding his mouth* What's wrong? Didnt take good care of your gums? Maybe you should have a doctor look at it. Or maybe I should. I got just the thing uO" I told him, "Damn...Human..*casts a hand at me* ERASE CLA-! *gets arm lobbed off by swift strike, looks the other way, seeing Bastemon look back with arm between her broken claws* GAAAAHHHH!" he screams in pain, on his knees. "*watches him blood out* You deserved that. *swings sword across his face, making a big streak of blood follow as a scar was made of his face through the metal plate protecting his face* You deserve that too" I coldly told him, "*heavily breathes* You..Aren't..Gonna..Ki..Kill me...?" he asked while handling alot of pain, "STAND! *sees him jerk back, throws the sword away* Im gonna beat your ass to death..And you better fight back" I told him, "! You...SO BE IT! *dashes at me but gets punched deep in the gut after I duck the claw swing* GUUUH..! *feels me follow through with the punch, gets pushed several meters by it, starts weezing* I...C-cant...B...Bre..athe.." he was weakly saying, "You wanted to fight, right? SO FIGHT BACK DAMMIT!" I shouted before giving him a powerful swing from my kick, making him spin around and land on his side, groaning in pain. Renamon and the others watched from a distance away as he gave me a few punches but my swings were alot more powerful, and he made howls of suffering after each hit. This continued for a whole minute until he found himself stuck on his back. "*still losing blood from the arm's stump* (I feel...So..Weak..So much blood...Lost...It's all over the ground..Cant..Move..) No more...I cant fight...Any..More.." he told me, "Not another word then..Accept dying painfully. HMMMMM! *jumps on him a few times, burying him into the ground like this and starts beats his head inward with a flurry of punches before throwing him out of the hole; climbs out of it, seeing how some of his upper body was punched away; wipes some of his blood off of me* hmph. No wonder I stopped hearing him. I was still hitting too hard" I comment. Bastemon stepped up, lunged her claws in his chest, and started absorbing him, but still shuddered at seeing how destroyed his body was looking. "Yknow what's funny? *sees her jolt upward before turning to me* The White Nightmare card. It would've sent him away. I had it..But I wanted to kill him personally. Rather waste it on some mon we'd spare. I cant imagine when'd happen but who knows" I said, "...Even..Even though you..Went overboard with him here...Thank you.." Bastemon said in appreciation, "He lasted a little longer than expected. *sits down* But only a little" I said, "*pats my shoulder* You did great, Human. I would have advocated a swifter method, but you still did decent all the same. Now we must rest, and heal here for a short period. We will need it before facing Lilithmon" Renamon told me. I let her healing hands do their work on me as I wait patiently for everyone else's turn to be assisted by her.
We realized that half of the cards used were where Cyberdramon stood. I suppose this Anomaly isn't all bad. After sitting there for a short amount of time, we came up to her castle. "*puts my hands on the wall, digs my fingers in it, planting my cheek on it while looking up with a big grin; a shadow over my face allowed my eyes and a bit of my mouth visible* SO Cloooooooooossssseee! (So close...SoCloseSoCloseSoCloseSoclooose! Her throat will be in my fingers...Then I'll gnaw on it..I'll drink her blood...Then-) *sees her looking down on us then directly at me from an above window before taking a moment to retreat to her room* (What's the matter...Are you afraid to die...Maybe you weren't expecting us so soon...She didnt look scared...!) *punches a hole in the wall, still looking upwards* (I'll make her scared of something! The mere thought will haunt her forever! Inside her dreams and out!)" I thought to myself, "*hears me eerily laughing to myself* (We must proceed now) Human..If you want to lead the charge, go right a- *sees me open the front door, and hop through the ceiling when I got to the middle of the room* Let's...Make sure he'll be alright.." Renamon said as the rest followed her inside. I shortly got to the top floor after busting through some more of Lilithmon's ceilings, and found myself in her chamber. I turn around, seeing her on a heart-shaped bed. She laid there on her side in a rather welcoming position...I see where this is going...
"[Lilithmon] Hooo boy. You look like a bloody mess. Mind me cleaning you up, muscles?"
"SPARE ME. You know damn well why Im here! I'll make your death worse than that Cyberdramon!"
"[Lilithmon] Ooooo you're so violent..Maybe I should let you come to me after all."
"...You're pretty calm for someone that's about to die.."
"[Lilithmon] Well...If you think about it..You could start a family with me. Did you find out about impregnating more Human-like Digimon yet?"
"...Yeah.."
"[Lilithmon] Then how about this? I have your children and we rule together. You'll have the power of the last Ruler at your fingertips. You can be Head Ruler in the process, and your children will be stronger than any other's."
"(This is a trap...I know it is..) *walks forward* Dont struggle.."
"[Lilithmon] *brings me closer with both arms, ensnaring me with legs as I get on top* Theeere we go..Now was that so hard?"
"*unzips* (Now then...If I can lead her on a little more..) *feels three things pressing against my privates* (...No..)"
"[Lilithmon] *buries my head between big cleavage* Dont be so shy~. You'll love eeeeevery second of this...After your turn, that is. -U-"
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME! *pushes her away and jumps back* You...Bitch...What the hell are you..."
"[Lilithmon] Obviously Im a Lilithmon. You know this."
"STOP TOYING WITH ME! WHAT IS THAT?!"
"[Lilithmon] *looks down* Oooooh. *giggles, grabs erecting shaft under robe* It looks like I got too excited early. I thought knowing you killed that son of mine would help here."
"Son...? Was that..."t
"[Lilithmon] Yes. The Cyberdramon was my son."
"But...You're the only one here...Was it..An Anomaly that...? No I couldn't.."
"[Lilithmon] Hmm. Yes and no. *gets my attention* You were on the right track. An Anomaly caused this...As far as giving me...'The Gift'. *sees my eyes widen in awe* Yes...Asexual reproduction...Ever heard of hermaphroditism?"
"(What the fuck...Then...THEN) B-b...Back when...You locked me in there...With Bastemon..You...You were...! YOU SICK BITCH!"
"[Renamon] I heard everything. *walks next to me* This has become...Uniquely dire. I suppose you aim not to kill us."
"[Lilithmon] Yes...*giggles, licks fingers while looking at us* I want all of you to myself...To make an even greater rule...One filled with his children..While all of you...Especially him..Will be wrapped in chains and strung up...In my spacious 'Love Chambers'..eue"
"[Mervamon] That's low, Lilithmon,,,We're never letting that happen.."
"[Lilithmon] *looks at Bastemon* You..I remember you had deep feelings for him..He can have a turn with you...Then I will have mine. We'll rotate."
"[Bastemon] No...I...I...! I w-want more of his children...But not like that! It's wrong! Absolutely Wrong! O"
"[Lilithmon] *looks at Renamon* Any wronger than him being with her?"
"[Renamon] N-now look here! oxo;"
"ENOUGH! *gets everyone's attention* I know what's at stake...Im here to kill all of the Rulers and you're the last one. This is for the sake of the Digiwordld..Nothing else matters...*looks at her* Other than seeing dead...! NOW RENAMON!"
"[Renamon] POWER PAWS!" she shouts, blowing apart the room with the immense raw force from both of her paws when she extend her arms outward, hitting both walls with a powerful shockwave that also blew everyone else away. "(I see...So that everyone else is safe from me. She's certainly far stronger than any other Renamon in the Digiworld)" Lilithmon was realizing, stopping herself in mid-air thanks to her wings. "(Perfect. She cant see me from all the way down here. Everyone should be ready now. After all these attacks, it'll be most important to land this last card...Which was practically made to kill the Rulers)" I plotted from far below, seeing Renamon X flying towards Lilithmon. "*guards against Renamon X's slamming attack from her two Holy Rods* (What is this...I've yet to hear anyone use any Digi-Cards) *sees her split 5 ways apart with Fox Switch Deception, all of them having two Holy Rods; starts dodging and swatting away their barrage of spinning attacks* Clever. Though you're the strongest Renamon I've faced, this is still child's play. Dont forget too..You're not the only one with X-antibodies" Lilithmon was telling her, "(This should be a decent enough time I am buying. But let's take it as far as we can, shall we?) Fox-Butterfly Illusion! *emits shimmering aura and body has various patterns occur* Tai Chi Revolution!" Renamon X called out, throwing out a big yin-yang disc that rapidly spun, "*sees the aura extending this way and changing the air around it into random objects* Please. You make this too easy. Nazar Nail. *taps the disc with gold nail, instantly rotting it into thin air* Phantom Pain. **creates a magic circle in front, making it spew dark energies, dissipating the aura and casts a breathe of darkness that did the same* Illusion data. Maybe it worked on everyone else but it wont for me...As for your clones..*sees them flying in from behind* Empress Emblaze" Lilithmon called out, summoning a giant, monstrous hand-shaped being out of the magic circle that emitted dense darkness on it, and it slammed the other Renamon Xs into the ground. Lilithmon smiled as she turned around, seeing the 100ft wide crater that it made below her. "(How does she having all these countermeasures against us?...It's as if she's watched us do battle with the other Rulers..No..More like she somehow heard us planning. Maybe her instincts are far more keen than we imagined)" Renamon X was trying to piece together, "You're wondering about why I am always ahead of the game, aren't you? *gets her attention* Like you lot, I have been through my share of battles. It is required as a Ruler, but we are talking about 100s. For my case...It might as well be 1000s. *blocks Bastemon's swipe from behind with a hand, sparks flying from it, and dodges the next one as she flew forward from the miss, noticing her 5 Holy Rings on her tail as she fell* (Now this is rare. This many?) If all of you keep messing around, I may become bored and finish all of you this instant" Lilithmon warns them, "(So she is the most experienced of the Rulers..We may have to hurry things up after all)" Renamon X thought to herself. From far above her were both Crescemon, and Mervamon, who flew down at Lilithmon, along with Ancient Mermaimon from an angle below her, and all three of them shot big waves of icy wind from their hand at her. "Great Maelstrom! *shoots an enormous stream of swirling water at Lilithmon from the other hand out of the trident, which quickly froze over and covered half a mile in range and was 700ft in height before blowing apart* Did...That work?" Ancient Mermaimon said in uncertainty, "You didnt think that was enough. Did you? *extended arm is held by my hand from behind, with the claw going past my tilted head* Of course you didnt. You knew you could only hide for so long until I figured you were down here" Lilithmon said, "Heh! Damn right I figured. Now did you figure that a Human could possibly be as physically strong as you?" I said to her while aiming my gaze at her, "Is it due to some cards? Or maybe after absorbing the Rulers..You gained some of their strength? It's..All of the above..Isn't it? *gets a boner, strokes on it with the other hand* (Mmmmmm~ His strength~~ It's almost as much as a Ruler's...How exciting...!) *pulls arm away, strikes down my chest with the other hand, making a big wound there as I flew back; licks blood off of black nails* You're such a lucky Human..You know that?" she told me, "*catches breath*...Heheheheh..Probably...In alot of ways, sure...But to be really lucky, I gotta make it outta here alive..*draws two cards* This..Is where I turn all this around..You should be scared! u " I shouted in excitement, "So should you. *draws out a card* Be careful about which one you use from here on. This is just the thing to counter whatever you might have" she warned with a smile, "(Damn...Is it? Who knows what it could be. Though..)" I thought, trying to remember a past event. Before she could turn it around, Taomon downward swipe of her claw makes Lilithmon jump backwards as she retracts the card to her sleeve. "(Might as well go for this) *draws another card from my pocket* Baptism Of Flames! Activate!" I shout, "! *sees Taomon's palm glow with embers, and is engulfed by a giant wave of fire from her sleeve; dashes out of it before it explodes* Ghnn! You dirty little- Hmm?! *sees a wall of explosive tags in front and sees her rain more from above from her sleeve* (Since when did she-?) *takes on the series of explosions, trying to dodge out of the way of them, but kept bumping into many of them and eventually rolls of of the wide radius of them; coughs* Damn Human..And his..Damn tactics..Get out of my sight!" Lilithmon shouts, using her giant hand creature to sweep away the smoke and other bomb tags, "*sees it coming this way* (You underestimate me)" I thought to myself, having two other cards dissipate in my other hand, "*sees the creature slam where I stood* That should do it! I dont care how strong he is! That should've killed-!" she was saying, "BAPTISM OF FLAMES! ACTIVATE!" I shouted, "What?! *sees me glowing, along with my 2 clones that were surrounding, hands casted out* (Since when did he do all this?! And what are these clones?!) *takes a huge wave of flames from the real me on the right* GYAAAAAAHHH!" Lilithmon shouts in pain while burning, "(Yes, the Speed card came in handy earlier..As well as Alias, Flame Fragment and Baptism of Flames just now) Hmmmhmmmhmmmm! Where'd all that intuition go? Are you going to transform now that you're backed into a bit of a corner?! WELL?! *sees her become slightly bigger, with much bigger wings, and her crest symbol hovers over her with her appearance becoming more glowing and vibrant with dark purple patterns* There it is..Just as I thought. Finally decided to go into X form" I comment after my taunt. This was what I wanted..My plan is almost complete now. I just need everyone to do their best with all I've given them. "(NOW!) You fell right into my trap! *pulls out 4 more cards* POW Booster! Pile Bunker! Sharpness Claymore! King Device! Data Copy! ACTIVATE! *sees the crescent blade and pile bunker appear in Crescemon's hand and Taomon's aura and muscles get larger* All of these will give us a massive jump in power! AND I GET TO HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF STRENGTH AS YOU THANKS TO DATA COPY! uO Try to outdo that, but you're just about to die!" I shout in excitement, "*starts turning the card to me* (Hmm, this one is useless. His cards are blue frame, and happen to not effect me. In that case..) *takes out another card from the other sleeve* Supreme Crystal! Activate!" Lilithmon X calls out, "*sees the card she was turning start to vanish and the other card was shinning between her fingers* WHAT?! *sees a black crystal appear in front of her, then sees the equipments on Bastemon, Crescemon, and Mervamon poof away; Taomon's muscles get reduced to her previous leaner bulk* wha...what's..WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?!" I react in shock as everyone else was surprised, "You realizing, aren't you? This card, my Supreme Crystal, allows me to get rid of all of your precious little effects from cards you tried to make happen. I could cancel as many as I could. All for the price of a useless card on my end. *watches the card vanish, along with the dark crystal* It was beautiful wasn't it? Took bad you couldn't have it. This was a special gift I happened to get from Barbamon. He always had the best cards. *hears me chuckling* Ah, is losing everything like this driving you mad?" she asked, "Because...Because..*raises my head up and gives her a huge smile* YOU JUST MADE EVERYTHING SO MUCH MORE EXCITING! *sees her jolt her head back with widen eyes* Y'see..I had a bit of decoy but I hoped I didnt have to lose this many cards..But since I did! *raises up another card* You gave us a bit more work to make sure you die...BUT IT WONT BE THE WAY YOU EXPECT! *fully raises the card above my head, making it shine* QUEEN DEVICE! ACTIVATE! *sees the King Device card reconstruct in my other hand, and draws another card with that hand" King Device! Pawn Device! ACTIVAAATE!" I shout loudly, "What's this?! Wait! (Queen Device?! Not that card!) *sees the three cards glow in my hands as I put on a big grin* You bastard...With Queen Device..You can not only straighten yourself by an immense amount like before, but my card's effect on King Device was invalidated..This was planned! But why aren't they disappearing like all your other used cards?!" Lilithmon X replied, "So you did notice that..Well fortunately...These Device cards DONT disappear after use! We can still battle with way more power!" I told her, "(Great work, Human. This might be your best play yet. We can overpower her in no time now!)" Taomon thinks to herself, putting on a proud smile to me, and everyone else has a look of relief. "Tch! (This goddamn Human! How is it that he has this many cards he can get alot of use out of?! No wonder he was able to kill a Digi-Card master like Barbamon..) If you believe that was all the cards I have, you're dreaming..I will come out of this alive!" Lilithmon X shout with building frustration, "Heh! We'll see how long you last from here! ('You have to trust me now. I feel as if...I can do so much more. Not just for myself...But for the team. I...When you look at me when the tables are turned..You know what to do. Of course, you dont need me to tell you that..Right, Ruler?') *turns to Crescemon, who is already in her Dianamon form and her powerful aura grew* (Right on cue...I think I get it now, Crescy. That's just what we needed too) *bats eyes at Bastemon* Are you ready to Digivolve now, Basty? *sees her nod* Good. In that case! Bastemon! Digivolve!" I ordered her, "Yes! Bastemon digivolve toooo...! *starts glowing but sees a dark haze raise in front from below; is swirled around by it* (Hmmm?!) Tooooooo...! (What's..Happening? Im..Supposed to be an Ofanimon. I cant..even move...) t-toooo..." Bastemon was saying in slower manner, "! Bastemon! (Could it be that black stuff?!) *sees Lilithmon X's smile* You dirty skank! What the hell did you infect her with!?" I shouted, "We've no time for her, Human! She'll have to sit like that until we're done!" Taomon told me, "Drrrrrrggh! Dammit! *can only see her eyes as they tear up* Just...Sit tight, Basty..Ok? (No one even saw Lilithmon do that to her! Just when did she do that?! Has she been holding her speed back the whole time?) You'll pay for that! You just couldn't wait to make her suffer more, could you?!" I yelled, forcing only a giggle out of Lilithmon X. We'll see who laughs last after you're nothing but bones! I'll give your bones to that damn Muttmon too..I fuckin' swear it! "(That really got his goat. He didnt seem to care for her but this was much more than I expected out of him. Oh that's right, there was that moment they shared when I had them mate for my amusement. Still..) *looks over to Mervamon, who looked angered as well* (That Mervamon has yet to do much against me. I should be cautious of her too)" Lilithmon X realizes to herself. She wasn't too worried. She remembered her backup plan that could change everything. I had a plan of my own to finish this damn battle. We'll see who succeeds and goes farthest whatever we have in mind for each other!
"*sees Taomon go ahead and go into her Sakuyamon form* (I've had a bit of hope this would work on at least her. Now that looks a bit sketchy) *looks into the distance* (I suppose I should go for this..We are outside after all)" LIlithmon X was scheming in her head, "(What the hell is she staring off to? Hmph. Whatever the reason, cant be good) *sees her Crown symbol start glowing* ! Go ahead and tear her apart, everyone! Just be careful against her!" I ordered them, "Night Stalker!" Mervamon calls out while dashing in, extending out her big snake arm at her, "*bats the head of it away, as well as her large sword that she pitched behind it with golden claw arm; notices how it cracked the forearm part of it* (This strong, eh?) *sees Ancient Mermaimon jetting this way from a mush of water spewing her upwards* I dont think so! Seventh Fascinate!" Lilithmon X calls out, spreading a massive amount of dark energy outwards for miles, "What did she just.. *turns around, seeing groups of Dark Digimon come this way, in a more feral manner than usual* ! Dammit! You wanna include the whole Dark Digiworld on this? How low can you get?!" I yelled up at her, "*giggles* An accurate guess" she replied with a sinister smirk, "! You bitch...! Tch! *turns to the wave of Dark mons coming* In that case..Looks like I may to kill a whole lot of 'em! oV " I decided, "*sees me dashing off into the herd* (Very well, Human..) *turns back to Lilithmon X* That really was cunning of you. Anything to separate us, right?" Sakuyamon said to her, "Certainly you know that you can get him at any moment. Am I right to have that impression? *sees her not reply* In any case, entertain me!" Lilithmon X expressed with an evil smile while her Crown symbol was shinning wildly. "('If I happen to separate from you guys, everyone has to work as a team more often' Now is a good time to test that plan) Spirit Strike" Sakuyamon said, casting four fox spirits out of her staff, "Crystal Billow!" Ancient Mermaimon follows up with, firing many crystalized water shots out of her trident, "Phantom Pain! *puts up the magic circle like before, releasing dense darkness data from it that destroyed the crystal shots upon contact, and only a single fox spirit made it through the attack* Nazar Nail! *strikes at it with golden claws but it explodes before it could be touched; gets flung backwards by it* Gaaahhh! o *looks back for a second, seeing Dianamon reading her fire from her bow* No you dont!" Lilithmon X said, trying to turn around in time with a raised claw, "Arrow of Artemis! *fires the shoot at her, landing in the middle of her chest, creating a huge explosion of ice that was spreading and branching outwards, ensnaring her in a very strong structure of ice while freezing over her arms, immobilizing her* Now Mervamon.." Dianamon said under her breath, "*charges up swing, putting alot of power into huge sword* Olympia..! *strikes downward from above and behind her, sees her look back with a shocked stare* KAAAAAI!" Mervamon shouts, cutting through the ice structure like butter and sliced through Lilithmon X's body with great power and speed, and when she zipped through her, a moment passes, and her victim sprung a massive amount of blood from across her stomach that flew upwards, destroying the whole mass of ice at the same time. "(What...Was...That..!) *falls on the ground and made a big crater upon impact, barely able to get up; heavily breathing, holds the big wound on rib area, seeing how a big chunk of it was missing and gushing blood* (She...She got me good there..This cut...It...It even went through my spine..V _;;;;)" Lilithmon X realizes to herself, "*floats down in front of her* I almost feel bad for you. Almost. Had you not done what you did and not put my Human lover through that torturous event, maybe I'd show mercy" Sakuyamon told her, "You should give up and forfeit your life. You'll bleed out in no time anyway" Mervamon told her as well, "It..Looks like I have no choice...(All four of them...They're too strong for me now..Especially with that jump in power from earlier..Looks like I have to do it) Fine...There's..Nothing else I can do...*sees them subtly straightening their equipment* EXCEPT FOR THIS! HELL TICKET! ACTIVATE!" Lilithmon X shouts, shocking everyone, "*sees her pull out 3 Hell Ticket cards from her sash as they glow between her fingers and black holes appear from the stomachs of Mervamon, Dianamon, and Ancient Mermaimon, sucking them in it* WHAT THE HELL?! *blood explodes out of body in a dozen areas* AAAAAAAGGGGHHH!" Sakuyamon screamed in agony, falling on the ground, and her fox mask rolls off of her head. "*stumbles forward* heheh..hehehehehehh...Ahahahahahaaah! How's it feel to have none of your teammates with you?! The Mighty Sakuyamon has finally lost her friends! The ones that've gotten rid of the other Rulers no less. *grunts while kneeling, picking up her face by the chin, makes eye contact with her* I bet you're wondering how I did it...Maybe you're familiar with Hell Ticket. How I used it was like no other. You see..I had multiple, and I could use each to send a Digimon to the Dark Area, and inflict alot of damage to a target if I wanted to for each use. Clever, wasnt it? *sees her turning her face away* I like hard-to-get y'know..Maybe this is why your Human lover fell for you so much...Speaking of hard...*grabs hardening cock, puts it on her face, rubbing it across her cheek* Mmmm~ This beautiful face of your's is driving my dick crazy...Imma have fun making my personal sex slave.. " Lilithmon X said with a sinister, crazed look before kissing her cheek, "! (No..I cannot allow this!) Amethyst Wind!" Sakuyamon shouts, "*is blown away by a pink, roaring rush of wind from her body; rolls backwards for several seconds from the powerful force from it; stands back up, seeing tears all over rob from it* Damn Sakuyamon...You really dont know what's good for you, dont you?! Very well..It isn't the first time I've forced myself on a Sakuyamon..Im going to..Love making you submit...To me.." Lilithmon X was saying while walking forward, "! (She's...She's done what now..? Focus..I need my Kongou staff. That Amethyst Wind was far too weak) *looks around, seeing how it's a few meters away* (No..How could it be that far away..)" Sakuyamon thought, crawling to it, "*watches her inch to her staff while on her knees and stomach* (Mmmmmm~ I love it when they crawl too..It always gets me going) *licks lips while being several feet from her; reaches out* (Such a great shape..I'll have her all to myself in no ti-)" Lilithmon X was thinking to herself but finds herself impaled from behind and lifted up by me thanks to my Juga-Maru blade, "And just what the hell were you about to do to her...WELL?! YOU SHITTY RULER?! *flips her up into the sky with an upward swing, jumps up* ONLY I GET TO LUST AFTER HER! NO ONE ELSE! NOW YOU DIE! *makes a huge swing downwards, practically making her explode from the middle of her body as she was sliced in half; looks back, seeing her upper half fly* No...IM NOT DONE YET!" I shout in rage, "*sees me jumping forward, with a fully cocked back swing that's ready with my sword overhead* You..YOU AREN'T HUMAAAN!" she screams in fear, "Maybe not..I dunno anymore..But guess what? I dont care. *slices through her body* Cuz now Im a goddamn Ruler" I said with a complete swing, strong enough to vertically slice her upper half and explode it in bloody, meaty pieces right before I landed; Shocking Sakuyamon in awe. "...I did it..*raises up with both arms in the air* AHAHAHAHAHAH I FUCKING DID IT! *sees the skies open up further with great rays of sunshine beaming down* (...Still..I couldnt kill her the way I wanted to..And...Is...Everyone else gone..?)" I started wondering. Is winning the battle...Still worth it now...? "*puts a hand on my shoulder from behind, giving me a kiss on the cheek* Human. We've become victorious against all the living Rulers ^ ^. We did it..You did it. *sees me still looking down* I know...I am afraid..There's nothing we can do for them" Sakuyamon told me, reverting to her Renamon form, "...There has to be a way..For now...Let's head back..Wait! Basty! *looks over to her, seeing how she's on her knees* Basty! Are you still stuck like that?!" I asked worrisomely, "I am..I wish I could just- *starts glowing brighter* I think I can complete it now! Hmmmmm! HMMMM!" Bastemon then grunted but not much progress was made...The three of us were starting to think that she could never Digivolve further..It wont take forever, right? I've never seen this happen. She should be able to do it but..How long...How long will this take?
"Let's..Not beat ourselves up...Ok? It'll..Just take a bit of time.."
"[Bastemon] Im sorry..I really am...I shouldn't have came with you guys..I should've...Watched over the kids..Where it was safer.."
"No...Dont say that..Because you came with us, you were able to stand up to that Cyberdragon. We got our revenge on him together. I wouldn't want you to miss that. And- *feels her paw on my cheek, holds it* B..Basty..?"
"[Bastemon] Thank you..Im glad I was able to do this..I trained to be able to be useful again. I..I got to see you be one step from being the Ruler of the Digiworld. ^ ^"
"[Renamon] That...Is something, Bastemon but...Wouldnt you want to see your child again? And be able to see the Digiworld become prosperous and filled with peace again?"
"[Bastemon] Renamon..*giggles and gently smiles* Or should I call you Renamom?"
"[Renamon] I will allow it here..I suppose calling you Bastemom would be appropriate too.."
"[Bastemon] *giggles* Maybe Palmon X's humor really did rub off on you with her data../u\"
"*starts tearing up* (Stop..Dont mention her here...Not when you're like this, Basty...)"
"[Bastemon] Listen...You should be happy. *sees her eyes widen* Not everyone can see all their dreams through..Sometimes...We have to be satisfied with what we can get..I realized this more and more...Aegiomon...He's a really good boy..I want him to be a great Ruler one day too..I wanted...To be with your Human partner..More than anything.."
"DONT TALK LIKE THAT! NOT AS IF YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE HERE!"
"[Bastemon] I may have to..It...Really looks like I cant make it...That I cant even exist further than today.."
"[Strabimon] You'll make it! You have to believe!"
"! *looks behind her, seeing him running up to her* Strabi! Good work back there too."
"[Strabimon] You too, dad! That Shishiomaru got rid of alot of 'em! There're still more coming but my group's holding them. *looks up at Bastemon, and sees her tearing up* Bastemon..You really are having issues with digivolving...Please make it..You were the best mom I've ever had! You're my real mom! Not whatever NaitoRenamon is!"
"[Bastemon] *cries and turns away* I..Im trying but..I dont know!"
"*looks at Lilithmon's scattered remains* Y-you can still absorb her with Renny, try that!"
"[Bastemon] ! I could! Lemme see! *starts absorbing Lilithmon's remains with Renamon, glows even brighter* Now I can do it! Alright..Bastemon Digivolve Tooooo...!"
"[Strabimon] *heart races in anticipation* (Cmon Bastemon! I know you got this!) *sees black wings sprout behind her* (No...She isn't..Is she...?)"
"[?] *a black and purple robe covers from shoulder to toe, hair turns black, becoming long and a golden sharp metallic glove appears on hand* Am I...? Im..."
"*drops my arm from my eyes due to the brightness* Basty...Did you- *feels her hand jab into my chest, the blood splattering in my face* Guuuh..Wha...What the...?"
"[Renamon] ! Human! *looks at her, eyes pop open in surprise* No...You cant have become-!"
"[Lilithmon] I...I really am one... *takes hand out of me* Im a Lilithmon...*drops to knees, cries* WHY! IT SHOULDNT BE LIKE THIS!"
"But..*coughs out blood* Gaaah! I..I dont understand! You should've been an..An Ophanimon, right?! So why-! (Wait unless!) R-Renamon..Please dont tell me.."
"[Renamon] I...Am afraid so, Human..This absorption is the culprit...Now that she's like this..She has to battle the natural evil urges of all other Lilithmon.."
"(Evil urges...? This is..Natural for them..? Wait...Just like with Calamaramon's...Even Sakuyamon is pretty different from her Renamon self..These Digimon do really change when they Digivolve!) *sees Lilithmon look with empty eyes while holding her hands into the ground* (She's really trying to fight it...Basty...No...)"
"[Lilithmon] Kill me..."
"! W-what?!"
"[Lilithmon] Im sorry..I really cant control myself! I cant go on! I cant even change back! Please! TTOTT"
"Lilil..Basty you know I cant do that! *sees Strabimon stand in front of me* S-Strabi..?"
"[Strabimon] I'll do it, dad...I..I cant stand seeing her like this..The Basty we knew is slipping away.."
"[Lilithmon] S..Strabi...*opens arms to him* Please...End it..."
"[Strabimon] *tears up* I..*hics* Im sorry, Basty! V L...Light Nail!"
"[Lilithmon] (Everyone...Thank you...) *receives many lightspeed stabbings from him, blowing apart chunks of flesh with each hit* (Please...Finish it..)"
"[Strabimmon] *cocks back claw for her head; hesitates and shakes it* I...I gotta do this...!"
"[Renamon] Boy. *gets his attention*...Allow me."
"[Lilithmon] Rena...Mon..*gets her attention* Maybe...When you absorb me...You...You can act more motherly to these kids ^ ^."
"[Renamon] ! *starts crying* (Not...Not this again..Dont say that..) *kneels in front of her, then hugs her* I apologize...For all the hardship I gave you in the past..You never deserved any of it..."
"*cries more, looking at the ground, putting hands on my eyes* (No..Not like this! I never wanted this!)"
"[Lilithmon] Renny...Thank you..I owe everything to to you...Strabi...Im ready..TTuTT"
"*sees Srabimon dash in* (No! Dont do it! STOOOP!) *sees him get really close at high speed* (Stop..Stop...STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP!) *vision inverts, seeing alot of blood fly in the air; flashes back to all the good times I had with Bastemon* (STOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOP! STOOOOOP!) *sees Renamon release her hug on her, and that Strabimon slid on the ground on his knees after his double-claw attack* ('I-I..I love you..Pleasing you is..T-the best thing that's happened to me'..stop... 'D-dont worry, H-human. I can handle them' please...'Beelzemon...I really dont wanna have to fight you..I definitely dont wanna push you either'...'Renamon...I told you that I dont wanna take him away from you'...dont..)" I was remembering...And many more memories were flooding back to me..They kept coming in...Nonstop...And on repeat...Strabimon open his eyes. He didnt want to look back to see the damage he did and kept his sights on the open range ahead. After a moment though...He saw it..Once he looked down...He saw Lilithmon's head...Her head was in his arms. He noticed her face kept that motherly smile that always cheered him up. He remembered a handful of memories with her with the somewhat little time he had with her back at the Base...Only for a moment could he maintain an embrace with her head pressed to his cheek..Then his tears fell again, more than ever. His swelling sorrow and crying distracted him from noticing that he had already drop her head on the ground. The moment he realized, the head along with her body was already being absorbed by Renamon. He couldnt help but to continue to wallow to himself at that time..."Human...*sees more Dark Digimon coming this way from the distance* We must leave. We have to return. Now. *sees me not respond* (Human..I know...It pains me too...It truly does, but..)" Renamon was trying to tell me, "Renny...Why...Tell me why..." I was lowly asking, "Why what, Human?" she asked, "Why...Why...Why..." I was repeating, "(It's no use...Very well then..) *holds onto me, taking my digivice, pressing the button to return us* You deserve a break, Human..I'll gladly comfort you...I promise.." Renamon told me right before the two of us were beamed up to the Union Base. Strabimon heard us going away, and turned his gaze to the horde that drew much closer. He stood. He used a hand to fix his tattered cape. With a hole in his heart, he marched onward. "I wont let it end like this..I have others waiting...They need me..!" Strabimon was reminding himself as he dashed towards the group of Dark Digis. He sees Hackmon running towards him to regroup with everyone else and they exchanged a smile. From there, the steeled their courage to take on the waves of enemies while getting back to their friends.
Elsewhere in the Digiworld, NaitoRenamon sat in front of the eggs that she was able to lay an hour ago. They were starting to rumble and she excitedly looked forward to her new offspring. "Wesly, Wesly! C'mere! You dont wanna miss our lovely children hatch!" NaitoRenamon urged him, "...Will this work?" Wes asked flatly, "Ugh of course it'll work! I gave birth to a bunch of really strong kids yknow! 3 *sees them crack open, but fall over, with only air escaping from them* No...Nonononono! HOW?! I was supposed to have more powerful children! What the hell happened here?! M ;" NaitoRenamon reacts in frustration. She was racking her brain on what could've caused it and was quickly finding herself stumped. However when she looked up at the opening skies, something was clicking. "Did they...They killed another Ruler, didnt they?! Drrrrrggg! Oooooooo I hate it when they make progress now! *bats eyes at Wes* And you! You're so useless now! I cant even make any babies! You're infertile! The only thing we accomplished is coming back and forth to this stupid world!...So Im leaving you! I'll find someone else who isn't a loser like you, so stay here!" NaitoRenamon ordered him. Wes stood there, planting his back on a tree, blankly waiting for her return. Little did he know, she also had plans to hunt for someone else. A certain...Counterpart. Her original self that she was all too familiar with.
