Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ TK's Journal ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

Hi again, everyone! Here's the first bit of part 2. Please comment and send me suggestions.

Tuesday July 22nd, Outskirts of Vagabond Keep

Lord Gennai has decided to use poison against poison. One of the things which Myotismon left behind after his defeat was Piedmon's scepter, and Gennai now seeks his aid. We were all skeptical of this, wondering why one Dark Master would want to help us destroy another. It turns out that Piedmon had no great liking for the rest of the Masters, and founght amongst them centuries ago, until Myotismon imprisoned him in the ruins of the city where we are now. Back then, Myotismon was the second or third most powerful entity in existence, and in the struggle he barely survived. Gennai believes that if we find Piedmon and return his scepter, he will free himself from Myotismon's imprisonment and will no doubt join our cause. We're going in this evening to find him, but Gennai, Tai and I will remain outside. Puppetmon's army is approaching. None of us expect them to hold them off forever, but we must give them enough time to free The Deceiver.

Wednesday July 23rd, The Seven Sorrows

We were about to retreat into chaos from the outskirts of the keep when a wave of dark shadow destroyed the column of the enemy. So it seems that they managed to free The Deceiver. It seems that he did more than just take the crest from Gennai. He seems to have touched Hugh in a way that no one has ever been able to. While Hugh is like an emotionless doll when dealing with us - simply submitting. His eyes are like those of someone who has lost his mind - almost…soulless. Yet with Piedmon, they seem perfectly amiable. I cannot understand this in the slightest. What are they to each other? But I digress. Each step brings us closer to Myotismon's domain, and almost certainly to the end of our own lives. We are a place so desolate that we are more at risk from the land itself than from the Dark Masters. The Deceiver believes that they will not dare chase us here. This place is named after the sorrows here - grief, fear, sadness, angst, depression, slavery and lack. All around us are graves marking countless souls who have succumbed to one or another. None of us will be sorry to leave this place behind.

Monday July 28th, near LadyDevimon's Camp

Arrogant, deranged, self-serving. None of these words can possibly describe The Deceiver. No wonder his armies have always been made up of bewitched men and the walking dead - no thinking being would willingly follow him. We left the Six Sorrows yesterday, and this morning Piedmon took Hugh away to help hunt down LadyDevimon. With immaculate timing, Puppetmon, who we almost forgot about, arrived with a full compliment of troops. We were forced to run towards LadyDevimon, but fortunately Hugh seemed to be doing better than we were. There were craters everywhere. When we finally found them, they were surrounded surrounded by Lady Devimon's troops. She was either foolish, desperate or both. She told Hugh to destroy us all, but to no avail. After a short while, Piedmon said, "Well, Hugh?"

"Yes, Father." We braced for the impact, but instead Hugh obliterated LadyDevimon's army. Piedmon evidently wanted her for himself. We should've known. He had been screaming for LadyDevimon's blood the entire time we were in the Seven Sorrows. I suppose that was what he lacked - vengeance. Puppetmon seemed to figure out that Hugh is to us what Myotismon is to the other Dark Masters. He leapt at us and smashed his hammer straight through Hugh's skull. He laughed evilly as we backed away, until he saw a shadow in front of him. He turned around just in time to see Hugh grab his face in his fist and tear him in two. The gap in Hugh's head had regenerated itself. Piedmon later told us that he had fused his DNA with Hugh's crest, to give it power over Dark and Light. This also caused him to grow a soul. When he accidentally `killed' Hugh when training him, he realized that Hugh would always regenerate, and come back stronger than last time. He then taught Hugh Dark powers even he would never use, for they destroy the body of whoever uses it.

End of Part 2. Please R&R. Until next time!
