Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Digital Trilogy - Episode 4 - How to Build an Army ❯ Chapter 9

Chapter 9

The door opened and Logan stepped halfway through it. He raised his right hand and pointed a gun right at Sara. She didn't move. "What the hell do you want?"

"I want to ask you a question."

"What?"

"Can you fly?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, can you fly?" He thought for a second.

"I've wanted to learn to fly a plane, but I can't yet."

"Not that." She said. "I mean if you fell off a cliff or something, could you fly?" He looked at her like she smoked some bad crack.

"Of course not."

"Good." Sara's right foot kicked up off the floor and hit the gun, sending it into the wall. He would have jumped her but she let the kick continue around and hit the emergency release on the door. It blew outward with a horrible blast of twisted metal, sucking her and Logan with it. Everyone in the plane felt their ears pop at the sudden drop in pressure. The plane lurched downward as it lost stability. Ozlimon, Biyomon, Hawkmon and Tentomon were not belted in, but were not sucked out by the blast of air. They all hung on for dear life. When they saw what happened, Biyomon let got first and was sucked out. Mitzy pointed her digivice at Tentomon and activated it. When he started to digivolve, he released his grip and was sucked out, to complete the digivolving outside the plane. Kovin and Yolei followed suit. Kovin looked left away from the open doorway and out the window beside him. His massive fifty tonne owl soared under the plane and banked up out of sight. Aquilamon and Kabuterimon were flanking Aeromon on either side.

*Thud!*

They heard something hit the top side of the fuselage, and bright orange wings curve around it. Birdramon's feathers covered the windows so they didn't see the other flyers. Kabuterimon and Aquilamon each took a wing, while Aeromon put his weight under the plane. It levelled at was now flying strait.

"Blast rings!"

"Electro shocker!" Two blasts of sound and then silence. The plane's twin turboprops were spiralling out of sight to the water below. The only thing keeping the plane up was the four digimon. Everyone else removed there seat belts and started filing out. Tyler and Mathew swung out on Birdramon's and Aeromon's feathers and stepped on the wing. The plane was now hovering. Despite the fact that they weren't moving, there was still a bitterly cold and hard wind. The boys helped Jody and Mitzy out, and then started with the rest.

"Stop there." Scott was standing with his other two friends. They had been hurt bad when the plane shook so violently. Piximon's wings were hurt and he couldn't fly, and not from lack of trying.

"You going to stop us?" Kovin asked.

"Of course."

"Then what? The plane can't fly. It's taking these four just to keep it up. They're not going to take you where you want to go."

"They will if I start shooting."

"All four would rather die." Kovin said.

"Don't be so dramatic." Scot said. He raised his gun and fired. Yolei gasped and fell to her knees; her eyes wide behind her glasses. Kelryn and Izzy were instantly at her side. The bullet had skimmed her torso, she would live but she was loosing blood. Izzy tore a strip from his shirt to try and bandage her.

Outside Aquilamon knew that Yolei was hurt and couldn't stand it. He lost his concentration and the plane shifted dramatically. All six humans fell towards the door. They all grabbed on for their lives, and Izzy and Kelryn were still holding Yolei. Kovin took advantage of the situation and kicked Scott in his side several times, the gun left his hand and sailed out into space. At the same time the man behind him, Hank, lost his grip and fell. His scream could be heard long and fading as he fell.

The plane started righting itself as Aquilamon regained his position. Demireumon took off into the foreword cabin. "Let Yolei go. You've proved it. Kelryn and I are the one's with the mega level digimon. You want us." Kovin said.

"Ok then. The geek and the chick go." Scott said. It was slow for Izzy to get Yolei out the door and onto the plane's wing. Kovin and Kelryn were the only ones left. "I know where your digimon is, where's yours?" He asked.

"She left." Kelryn said.

"No digimon would leave their partner. Where is she?" Kovin walked to the other side of the plane. "Get over here!" Scott said.

"You have us, what does it matter where I am?" Kovin asked.

"Because I said so." Kelryn also started walking away from him. Scott's attention was divided, and both he and Jean were watching Kelryn. Demireumon came flying out from behind a seat and hit Jean square in the chest, sending both out the open door. The plane shift as Kabuterimon departed to recover the cat. Kovin kicked behind him opening the opposite door. Scott looked over and saw Kovin armed with both his deadly katanas. Kovin jumped toward Kelryn and threw her towards the other door, she lost her balance and fell. Kovin saw Kabuterimon change course and move for Kelryn, he also saw Demireumon on his back. Kovin lunged again, like a wolf or lion attacking, letting the shard metal cut deep into Scott's flesh. Two gaping wounds were seen. One running diagonally across his chest, the other strait across. Scott fell to his knees with pain.

"It can't hurt that much. These blades are sharp, not like the dull bullet you used on Yolei." Scott looked up with such detest and hatred.

"All I wanted was your D-Power. I didn't want to kill you."

"You wanted to kill Ozlimon, and Demireumon. And the rest of the others just for fun. Or maybe charge a small fee and let others kill them while they're restrained?"

"Maybe." His last word was barely from his mouth when Kovin swung both blades again, they cleaved his skull clean in half. Kovin felt the plane lurch downward from the digimon tiring. He gathered his wits and ran for the door Sara had blown out, and without stopping jumped. He made sure to get distance from the plane so Aeromon could drop it. Everyone else had already been distributed among Birdramon, Kabuterimon, and Aquilamon.

Aeromon rolled the plane off him and sailed downward under Kovin. He banked up slowly so Kovin didn't stop suddenly, hurting him or the bird. They both continued down following the plane toward the black cold ocean. It was twirling around but still heading nose first for the water. Aeromon was falling at the same angle. The plane hit the water and shattered like a delicate glass figurine hitting the floor. Twisted white metal flew everywhere along with a mushroom cloud of sprayed water. It seemed to move in slow motion. The metal bits flying around like leaves falling from a tree, the sprayed water moving up, then back down, like a blast from a geyser. The metal subsided, the water reverted to its black calm; the only evidence of the crash was the floating trail of jet fuel.

The three smaller flying digimon descended much slower because of their passengers. They also didn't want to see such destruction up close. They redistributed the weight, putting most of it on Aeromon; then set off low over the ocean for Japan.
