Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Avatars of Darkness ❯ Under Attack ( Chapter 4 )

--AvatarsOfDarkness--

---Under Attack---

The forest was quiet, unsettling quiet. Still not seeing anything, Tk stood up and offered his hand to Kari to help pull her up. As he looked into her eyes when he pulled her up he saw them widen in terror. Flipping his head around Tk saw what terrified Kari, a large red beam was headed straight for them. Before the stunned duo could do anything, a cry of "BoomBubble" was heard just off to the side of them, followed by a highly compressed gust of air. The spot sped right in front of them just in time to deflect the blood red lazer, averting a bloody end for the two by mere inches. As it was, the beam passed by with such searing heat it once more knocked them onto the ground. "Are you guys alright?!" yelled out a worried Gatomon as she and Patamon stood protectively in front of their partners. Patamon and Gatomon were also interrupted just at the point of sweet completion, as evidenced by their ruffled fur and intensely angry visage.

Standing up again and dusting off their clothes, Tk said, "Yeah we are okay, just a few close calls." Staring determinedly ahead Kari said, "But we won't be here for long if we don't stop whatever is shooting at us." The anger and rage at being interrupted returned to them now that they were no longer defenseless. All four had bloodlust for the one who dared disturb them, and their thoughts mirrored one another thinking. Whatever is out there, I am going to make it suffer horribly and DIE! Unseen, the crests pulsed black for a moment.

"Patamon digivolve so we can crush this pest," Tk called out. Why did I say it like that? I'm not usually this violent... oh well no time to second guess now. "Right, let's do this," Patamon said as he started glowing, "Patamon digivolve to- Angemon" Kar clenched her fists saying, "Your turn Gatomon, digivolve." As she began glowing Gatomon promised, "I'll make them sorry, Gatomon digivolve to-Angewoman." Now standing in front of Tk and Kari, instead of a cat creature and a batpig, are two adultsize angels garbed in white with black helmets and black wings... wait a minute, black?!?

Turning to look at his counterpart, Angemon stumbled in shock and gaped like a fish at Angewoman, saying, "Angewoman what happened to you? Your wings and helmet are black!" Answering back dryly as she inspected her wings Angewoman said, "Well they aren't a fashion statement, besides you've got them too." "Guys, focus," Tk yelled to the, "the attack." With a murmered, "right," they took to looking for the threat.

"I still don't see anything out there," Angemon said in annoyance. "Whatever it is, it's good at hiding," said Angewoman in agreement. Now that they were alert and extra quiet, they were able to hear a very low humming [hrrzzzz]. Instantly after the buzz a thin red beam came flying out of the woods headed straight for them. Acting on purely protective reflexes Angemon grabbed Tk as Angewoman grabbed Kari, and they flew them both high above the forest away from the blast. "Let's both attack on the spot we see movement from Angemon," Angewoman proposed as she had an idea, "Kari, Tk, hold on to our backs." Grabbing a hold of Angemon's neck, Tk climbed on to his back saying, "Gotcha, just don't let me fall." As Kari did the same on Angewoman she giggled nervously adding, "And don't de-digivolve, we can't fly."

Down below one of the many trees shook slightly for a fraction of a second before another red beam lanced right towards them. With the aided mobility advantage of flight the attack was easily evaded. Gathering power into his right fist Angemon advised, "We had better ready our attacks now so we can release a barrage in the instant those tree's move again and destroy before it can dodge out of the way." "A wise plan," Angewoman said in acceptance as she notched an arrow of power on to her winged bow.

Kari was tightly holding on, during which she was reflecting on the situation and its strangeness. This is the first time I've seen a digimon not announce their attack, those lazer shots are too accurate to be an accident, something wants us dead. Why is it always me and Tk who are always so ruthlessly targeted by the dark forces? And why do we feel a growing connection to the dark... just look at our digimon's wings, they used to be a blinding white but now they are a light black. Takeru's thoughts were a little more erratic and less philosophical. I hope we find and kill this enemy fast my arms are getting tired. Heh kill the enemy... I can just imagine the new gangs reaction to that, with their no kill fanatacism. It's probably just a black spire digimon anyway. I'll teach it to interrupt my special time with Gatomon like that, I... .. what the... Gatomon? Why am I thinking like Patomon?

"There, to the right, fire!" yelled Angewoman as she saw some leaves rustle. An instant later there was three beams of energy flying through the air, two from the flying digimon, and one from the unknown assailant. Again it was easy to dodge the attack as they waited for their own to hit. [BA-BOOM!] The two blasts combined on impact and formed a spherical explosion of white with black and red swirls mixed in, disintegrating several trees and taking a large chunk out of the ground. "We got him!" declared Angemon triumphantly as they saw bits of digital data break apart. Mindful of their passengers, the two fliers quickly dropped down to the ground and de-digivolved back to their more common forms of Patamon and Gatomon. Gatomon jumped into Kari's arms and Patamon nestled into Tk's hair. "Let's go home I got to take a cat nap," said Gatomon sleepily. "Sleep tired home," Patamon mumbled half asleep already.

Realizing that the mood was ruined and they needed to get back, Tk and Kari exchanged resigned sighs before heading back to the remains of the log to pick up their supplies before returning back. They themselves getting more and more tired with each step. Had they not been feeling so exhausted they might have looked back at the explosion site. Had they looked they may have seen Gennai carrying the broken pieces of a hi-tech looking weapon, watching closely with a guarded expression. "That was almost too close, I was almost too late. Now I can rest easy, I see the protocols are taking effect. Sorry Takeru.. Hikari.. but Hope and Light should never have tried to come together," he finished in a regretful voice before fading away.
