Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Wolf ❯ Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

Chapter 7:

"Watch out!" Yamato cried at one of his members. It wasn't a warning cry, it was a demand, an order.

Luckily there weren't many people with guns yet. Most fighting was hand-to- hand combat, or knife fights. So far Matt's plan had gone perfectly. Indeed the other gang wasn't prepared.

Matt watched with disgust as two of his own men ganged up on one Crow. The poor man never had a chance with two against one. They sliced him a bit before they had the decency to kill him.

"Awesome fight!" Someone exclaimed.

"This isn't a fight. This is a sick massacre" Kojo said quietly. Matt couldn't help but agree.

Takeru, Yamato, and Kojo ignored most of the fights, and if someone approached them, the person was taken down quickly. The three were on the way to the offices with a few better members in tow.

Takeru's face remained emotionless as he ran his knife through a man's heart. Matt only caught a brief glimpse of the knife, but he knew well enough what was on it. A design of the crest of Hope. Daisuke had bought three, one for Takeru, one for himself, and one for Matt. Daisuke's had both his eggs, while Matt's had his crest of friendship emblazed on the side. How ironic, the symbols, and all. What they represented then and how everyone acts now.

There seemed to be a final stand taking place outside what appeared to be the main offices. Matt's team took them out easily. None of the Crows stood a chance against any of the Wolves.

Kojo bust the door down. They entered the Raven's office. A few poorly shot bullets were fired, but they all missed. Someone shot the person down quickly.

"You are very stupid, Yamato." The raven spat out.

Matt laughed at him. "Is that all you can say, when I just destroyed your entire gang?"

Matt watched as the last of the Crows attempted to flee ignoring their boss's commands. During the panicking frenzy, Matt did nothing except glance around the office.

There! Behind the desk! Tai was huddled in a ball apparently beaten unconscious. Matt hoped they hadn't hurt him to bad, or done anything worse. They would suffer twice as much for every one thing they had done to Tai, Matt promised himself.

Raven Kazel quickly reorganized his forces while Matt looked around the office.

"What's wrong Yamato?" He sneered. Then he saw Matt quickly look away from Tai. "Oh! Did you miss your little friend over there? Don't worry we took 'real good' care of him."

Matt remained silent, and glared while Kazuki laughed.

Raven continued. "Oh yes, everyone had tons of fun with him!" He was about to continue laughing, but he had struck a nerve with Matt. Raven barely missed being shot in the head.

"Let him go." Matt said slowly and venom filled still holding the gun pointed at Raven's head.

"What's wrong? Can't handle sharing a little?"

As several more shots were fired, everyone went into another panic.

"Stop running!" Raven shouted, and sure enough his men listened. Matt's men didn't even have to be told however, they knew not to run in the first place.

"That's it!" Raven lost his temper, and his men attacked. The attack wasn't orderly, and instead the men were random and scattered.

Raven's men weren't trained well, if at all, but there were a few more of them.

Three came at Matt together. Matt focused, and took the first one down quickly. He then turned to the second one and kicked him at the knee so that his knee shattered. The man cried out in pain and fell to the ground. Matt felt a knife glance off his side, and he hissed slightly as he felt it cut the skin. Matt turned quickly and finished the third guy off with a short stab.

A familiar cry reached Matt's ears and he turned to see Takeru down on the ground. "Takeru!" He cried, but T K didn't move. With a cry of frustration Matt took down the three closest opponents with ease trying to get to Takeru.

Suddenly a fist came out of nowhere and contacted to Matt's jaw. Matt flew backwards into a wall.

"This is it now Ishida. Wolf against Raven. You and me, one on one." Raven stepped forward.

Matt remained silent as he quickly checked to make sure he still had his gun and knife.

The fight started with the two men slowly circling around each other, waiting for the other to move. The few remaining fights stopping in order to watch them. Suddenly Raven launched an attack at Matt. He thrust his knife and body into a low attack, which Matt easily defended.

"Is that the best you got?" Matt asked. "If so, this fight won't even be interesting."

"Oh, I am just getting warmed up." Raven snarled and he again threw his weight into an attack.

Matt was caught off guard by such a rash attack, and he barely got away with a scratch across his chest. He quickly counter attacked and left a deep gash in Raven's arm. Raven cursed, and again lashed out with several rash attacks. Matt defended easily, but still found himself backing up. Matt saw an opening, and took it, leaving a slash starting at his opponents right eyebrow to his lower chin.

Raven cursed again and pushed Matt roughly backwards. A few of Raven's men caught him and held him with his hands behind his back.

"I thought you said one on one Raven." Matt's statement sounded more like a question.

"Yeah, well, that didn't work out for me, so I will just kill you this way." Raven pointed a gun at Matt. "Bye."

The gun fired. Matt heard a few screams and the rustle of clothing. He felt the men throw him to the ground.

Matt opened his eyes. Kojo had taken the bullet in order to save Matt's life.

Matt gasped and ran to his friend's side. "Why?" His practiced mask of no emotion fell away. He began to sob. "Why did you do that?"

Kojo's breathing came laboriously. "You deserve to live more than I do." Kojo's eyes closed with his last breath.

"No!" Matt cried, and he buried his head in Kojo's chest, the tears refusing to stop.

"To bad you little friend got in the way, he seems to have made me miss you." Raven said slowly.

Yamato tears stopped as he heard that voice, and he slowly raised his head to meet Raven's glare. Sapphire blue met ivy green in twin waves of emotion. Emotions such as disgust, hatred, and anger. One set would close forever in a few more moments.

Raven raised his gun again and pointed it at Matt. "This time I wont miss"

He finger slowly began to pull the trigger.

"Everyone freeze!" The cops burst in the door.

"well, I guess this is how it ends Yamato." Raven said with a smirk putting his gun down.

"No" Matt breathed. "This is going to end now, and one of us is going to die."

"If you feel that way..."Raven reached for his gun.

Bang.

Raven's gun dropped to the ground, its owner with it.

~*~*~*POV~*~*~*

What is all that noise? I opened my eyes to see wall. I tried to move, but my whole body ached. I finally manged to lift my head and look around the room.

Bang. A gunshot. Who got shot?

The first person I saw was a cop. There are so many bodies on the ground. So much blood.

Who are all these people?

Yamato? Wait, what are they doing to him? They are pointing a gun at his head! They are taking him away from me! No!

I try to yell or crawl, anything to keep Matt here. I finally manage to look around the giant object blocking my view. There are more bodies, all dead.

I feel more tears welling up in my eyes as I recognize people. There is Kojo, shot, and Takeru too? I try to cry out in my agony, but all that comes out is a whisper.

"no"

"Hey!" I hear someone yell. Not just anyone, a cop. "This one is still alive! Lets get him to the hospital immediately, because he looks pretty beaten up."

They are pointing at me.

I feel myself slipping back into unconsciousness as they lift me up.

What happened? Where's Matt? Why?
