Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Digital Trilogy - Episode 3 - Feint Within a Feint ❯ Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Kovin, TK, Ken, Kari, and Yolei were back in Kovin's apartment after their defeat. Yolei was helping Ken pick some broken glass out of his leg that got there when he tripped while they were running. They were all feeling disappointed. This was the first time they had failed to break up a fight or save the lives of the protagonist since their new group formed. They were also thinking about Kelryn, and wondering what atrocities she was experiencing.

"We don't even know if she's alive." Kovin said, very quietly. The small black cat, Demireumon climbed up on Kovin's lap. She started purring to calm him down.

"She's alive, Kovin." She said.

"What makes you so sure?" Kovin asked.

"What happens to a digimon when their human is killed?"

"Oh yeah! So Kelryn is alive because you would have died when she did! That's great news!" Kovin was in a much better mood now. Demireumon alive and breathing was a perfect assurance that Kelryn was still alive.

"Ow! What the fuck!?" Ken screamed.

"Oh quit whining you big baby. That's the last of it." Yolei finished repairing Ken with a large bandage around his leg. He moved his pant leg down to cover it and tried standing and walking. Other than a slight limp in his right leg, he was fine. Allura and Palmon came in the door behind them wearing her jacket because the night air was cool.

"Guys, you have to come up and see this." Allura was white and was speaking in shock. The other humans and digimon followed her out the door to the roof. When they got there, a horrible sight met their eyes. It was plain to see that four fights were happening around the city all at the same time. Burst of flame, ice, electricity, projectiles, and arcing energy of every shape and colour could be seen all around them.

"We have to stop this." Kari said.

"I agree." Added Yolei. Everyone else was in complete agreement. The male digimon were recovered and ready to go back in. But this time the female digimon would be fighting right beside them, increasing their fighting ability threefold because of the teamwork. Kovin pulled the goggles out of his pocket and put them on over his forehead, the traditional way the leader of their group always did.

"Digivices?" Everyone displayed the multicoloured array of units that allowed their digimon to digivolve. "Weapons?" Kovin produced his pair of katanas from a scabbard on his back, assured himself of the keen blades and returned them. TK, Yolei and Allura checked their guns to make sure they were loaded, and they had extra clips. Kari displayed some throwing stars Kelryn had been teaching her to use. "Ladies and gentlemen, suit up."

Ozlimon digivolve to ... Feamon digivolve to ... Talomon

Patamon digivolve to ... Angemon digivolve to ... Magnaangemon

Palmon digivolve to ... Togemon digivolve to ... Lillymon

Wormmon digivolve to ... Stingmon

Gatomon digivolve to ... Angewomon

Hawkmon digivolve to ... Aquilamon

Talomon and Lillymon glanced at each other. The last time they were together Talomon had killed her. Talomon nodded at her signalling that she could trust him now, she believed him. Demireumon waved the six of them off and made herself comfortable on the roof to wait their return.

The six pairs were all in the air and headed towards the closest of the fights. The girls dropped into one side and the boys to the other in a pincer attack. It was easy to identify the parties and factions in the melee. It was one mega digimon defending himself against four attacking ultimates, different ones than Kovin, TK and Ken saw earlier. They jumped into the fight, the six of them with the protagonist, fighting the four attackers. It was turning the tides favourably.

"Angel Sword" "Sonic Blast" "Flower Cannon" "Spiking Strike" "Celestial Arrow" "Blast Rings"

The attacks cut through the evil digimon easily; Aquilamon's and Stingmon's attack hit the same digimon, but Stingmon's hit a little later. The digimon pixilated and a bolt of white energy came from the ally and hit Ken's digivice. They all smiled when they saw Stingmon start to digivolve, to be replaced with Paildramon.

All six humans stared at this digimon. He was supposed to be produced by Stingmon and Exveemon DNA digivolving. But he was dead. Paildramon looked as shocked to be there as the rest of them.

"How the hell?" Ken asked.

"Don't know," Paildramon said. "But if it ain't broke, don't fix it." He jumped back into the melee to finish off the rest. Kovin and the humans turned their attention the ally where the bolt of energy came from. They all drew their personal weapons and prepared for some serious fighting. Normally these weapons were completely defensive, but the game had changed, thus so did the rules. Before they could get there they heard just what they didn't want to.

Candlemon warp-digivolve to ... Skullsatamon

The massive red skeleton digimon blew past them with lightning speed and was into the melee. "Nail Bone!" He was launching his attack with deadly skill and jumping to new targets faster than they could see.

"Talomon, digivolve!" Kovin yelled. They needed their own mega digimon. They had not called him in before because of his size, and the fact that Ozlimon need almost a day of rest between mega digivolves.

Talomon digivolve to ... He was cut down. Skullsatamon hit him while his guard was down and Ozlimon fell back to the ground. Magnaangemon and Angewomon stood the best chance against him, being vaccine type to his virus type, but for all their grace, speed and strength, they could not match Skullsatamon. His relentless attacks soon had the digimon gasping for air, and then reverted back to their rookie forms, even Salamon. The six huddled in a group waiting to be killed. But Skullsatamon and the others reverted back to their own rookie forms. Even the mega digimon they were attacking, who joined them. It was a staged fight. Nolan and his three friends came out of the ally. Nolan had his katana drawn and was walking toward Kovin.

"Hello Kovin. Long time no see." Nolan struck an attack stance challenging Kovin. The pure hatred in Kovin had him up with one of his own blades drawn.

"Where is she?"

"How she's safe for now. She's been quite a help you know. I've always wanted my own punching bag. And when she stops fighting back, she'll also be my little love toy." Kovin didn't like the way he was talking, but he smiled thinking about Kelryn fighting back despite her situation.

"She a little too much for you?"

"Not at all." Nolan surprised Kovin by attacking. The metal blades sparked when they hit the first time. The two blades flew through the air glinting the orange light of the fires around them. The sounds were horrible as the swords clashed. Both players were using all their skill with the deadliest of intentions. But Kovin was better skilled with the blade; Nolan slipped and allowed Kovin to get a small slash on his hand. Kovin kicked Nolan solidly in the stomach and he fell away from him. Nolan looked up at Kovin with pure hate is his eyes. He was so used to no resistance when he was brutalising Kelryn or the soldiers in his army. Kovin stared back down at him waiting for him to get to his feet. The other five Guardians stood watching the whole event. This was a fight for Kovin alone. Nolan examined his options and drew a gun from his left side while still lying down. Two bullets quickly left the barrel, one flying past Kovin the other hitting his right shoulder.

Kovin dropped the sword and gripped the wound in pain. Now Kovin's friends were coming to help, that was a dirty trick. But Nolan and his three friends all started hailing bullets onto them. No more wounds were suffered as they pulled the wounded Kovin and the digimon and retreated for the second time in two hours.

Nolan waved his hand to stop the attacking. He walked up to where a few drops of Kovin's blood and his katana were left on the ground. He knelt and picked it up, and returned his own to its scabbard at his side. Nolan admired the blade, straight compared to his own curved blade. It was also longer and better sharpened. He walked over to the three friends and saw another girl coming out of the ally. This was the girl who was defeated earlier. She looked up and Nolan with scared apologetic eyes.

"You're useless now. How could you let that happen?" Nolan had not respect for normal humans, and now she was one that knew about his plans. "No use at all. Now, you're just a witness." Nolan walked up calmly and buried Kovin's blade in her chest, piercing her breast then her heart. The others saw the bloody metal come out her back. The sword was buried to its hilt. She looked at him with such panic in her eyes, and started to drool blood from the left side of her mouth. When she started quivering, Nolan put his foot on her midsection, held on to the handle and kicked her still living body off it. He turned away and left, his three lackeys and all the digimon behind them, leaving her to a painful, lonely, senseless death in the ally.

Kelryn was ready again. She had a day and a half to stretch her muscles, eat and get stronger. The whole time she was thinking of moves to make, strategies to use against him, and general ways to defend herself. She planned to kill Nolan the next time she saw him. Whether she survived the encounter or not, she was going to kill him. Her legs and muscles hurt, her face felt sore and swollen. But every one of these attributes just made her more and more determined.

She turned her head when she heard the door open and prepared to attack. This was it, she was going to kick the shit out of him. She watched for the face of the person entering, and then she saw it. Nolan entered the room. All she saw was his face and she charged. She screamed as loud as she could and ran at him with both fists. She saw a glint of metal flash in front of her face and stopped. Nolan had a katana out in front of him. If she hadn't stopped, it would have pierced her chest. He held the blade back almost displaying it to her. It wasn't Nolan's, his was curved and this one wasn't. This one also had blood along the full length of it, and had started to coagulate. She looked down to the hilt, which Nolan was allowing her to see. She gasped.

"Recognise it?" She didn't answer, all the colour in her face left. "We fought him again. And I killed him with his own blade. All six of your little friend's bodies are bleeding out in a back ally. I made sure of it." Kelryn lost all urge to kill, and just fell to the floor sobbing.
