Chapter 3: Crying over Spilt Blood
Ryo suddenly realised what he had done. 'Gone and ruined
a perfect friendship, haven’t you?' He was the one to pull away,
not Henry. 'He’s probably so shocked, he can’t move,' thought
Ryo, as he pulled himself away from Henry.
"I’m sorry," he apologised, as he scrambled up to his
feet. "I’m so sorry." Tears were welling up in his
eyes once more. He turned and ran away.
"Ryo, wait!" called out Henry, as he scrambled up
after Ryo. He didn’t go very far, as he tripped over
Monodramon’s tail and went crashing down on to the ground.
"Subject- Akiyama Ryo, approaching."
The bird-like ADR-02 units turned in mid-air, flying back
towards the main mass of the D-Reaper. They had spotted the
target. Now there was no need for them to be out there. They were
needed elsewhere. The D-Reaper needed its spies in other
locations.
Rapidmon flew above Henry, as the two of them ran as
quickly as they could along the streets of the deserted city.
Henry felt foolish. He should have ignored that nagging voice
in his head and gone and told Ryo about his true feelings for him.
That would have stopped Ryo running out towards D-Reaper. 'Why
didn’t I tell him sooner?' he wondered. He had felt obliged to
keep the moment quiet. Henry had been afraid that Ryo would think
he was taking advantage of him. 'Now look at the mess you’ve
caused,' thought Henry bitterly.
"Go higher up!" called out Henry, as he stopped in his
tracks.
"Roger," replied Rapidmon, before flying higher up
into the sky and looking all around.
"Can you see him?" shouted Henry.
"’Fraid not, Henry!" shouted back Rapidmon, as he
flew back down. "Can’t see him anywhere."
'Okay, Henry, think about this,' thought the blue-haired Tamer.
'Where would Ryo most likely have gone?' No. He couldn’t think
up of anything. Henry felt horrible inside. This was all his
fault.
"Henry, don’t kick yourself over this," said
Rapidmon, upon noticing the expression on his Tamer’s face.
"It’s not your fault. Who would have known that Ryo loved
you?" He stopped talking. His ears picked up a sound.
Rapidmon looked around him warily. "Look out!" cried
Rapidmon, as he leapt at Henry and pushed him out of the way.
A plasma blast smashed straight into the concrete ground,
throwing up rubble and dust into the air.
Rapidmon lifted his head and turned round, still shielding
Henry’s body with his own. He saw several ADR-04 units closing
in on them.
"This just isn’t a good day for us," sighed Rapidmon,
as he leapt up to his feet. "It’s time to take out the
trash!" he cried, before flying up into the air and firing a
few missiles towards the ADR units.
The ADR-04 units spiralled around the missiles, avoiding them.
One got caught in the line of fire, however, and was annihilated.
The rest turned back round and flew straight towards Rapidmon,
their arms ablazing.
Henry took the time to swipe a card through his D-Arc model
Digivice, in the hope it would do the trick. He saw the plasma
blasts flying from the ADR-04 units and straight towards him.
Pieces of armour appeared on Rapidmon’s arms and he stood in
front of Henry, protecting the boy from the blasts. He sighed with
relief, quickly fumbling for another card.
From around the corner came an ADR-07 unit. It turned to face
Rapidmon and Henry, its mouths opening and shutting like that of a
goldfish. Something from within the ADR-07 unit seemed to activate
and the thing extended its hands out towards the Digimon and
Tamer.
Henry plucked out a card. 'Yes, that’s the only way,' he
realised, as he looked at it, a grim smile forming on his face.
"Get ready, Rapidmon!" he called out to his Digimon.
"DigiModify- BioMerge activate!" He swiped a card
through his D-Arc and braced himself.
"I don’t deserve to live anymore," muttered
Ryo, as he knelt in front of the wall of red chaos.
The ADR-W unit smiled at Ryo from the wall of chaos, as red and
sinewy tentacles like muscle fibres from a human being, wrapped
themselves around Ryo.
"Useless," whispered the ADR-W unit in Jeri’s voice,
the only voice that the D-Reaper could use. "Worthless. Waste
of space." Its tentacles wrapped themselves around his
fingers, around his neck and body. "You do not deserve to
live anymore."
One of the tentacles began nuzzling its way across Ryo’s
skin, as if it were trying to penetrate the skin and enter the
brown-haired Tamer’s head. Other tentacles tried to follow suit,
as if they were attempting to gain access to Ryo’s mind.
"Why would anyone love a loser like me?" wondered Ryo
out loud, as he knelt there in front of the D-Reaper, submitting
himself to the program.
"Sors immanis et inanis," whispered the D-Reaper, a
phrase it had picked up from some data it had absorbed in the
Digital World. "Come, come, oh come and fall to your knees.
Give your life and die before me." The ADR-W smiled mockingly
at Ryo, as one of the tentacles penetrated the skin and writhed
its way underneath.
"Why?" murmured Ryo. "Why?"
The machines marched forward, unrelentlessly.
Ryo found himself fighting against the wave of Digimon that ran
away from these hideous machines, pushing frantically in a wave of
panic and fear.
"No, please, let me pass!" he cried out. And he heard
the screams ahead, terrifying blood curdling screams that were to
haunt him for the rest of his life. "Let me pass!"
And ahead the Digibots, Creations of Digitopia and its Master,
were doing as they had been programmed. Emotionlessly, uncaring
and with precise accuracy, they selected all virus-type Digimon in
their sight and started the mass culling. None were spared from
their ruthless efficiency. The Digimon were sliced in half, filled
with holes, torn limb from limb whilst still conscious and
screaming bloodily.
"Cyberdramon, stop them!" screamed Ryo.
Suddenly, the metallic wall burst open and a blue Digimon leapt
through the hole.
"Stop right there!" protested Exveemon, as he landed on
the ground in front of the Digibots, but they did not heed him.
"I said, stop!" he cried, before rushing forward and
slamming a fist into the head of a Digibot, crushing it and
watching it disintegrate before his very eyes. "Never did I
ever imagine that Wolf would do this," he muttered under his
breath.
And there was a chuckling that echoed all around them, but in
actual fact, came from the Digibots around him.
"What’s the matter, Exveemon?" asked the growling
voice. "Crying over spilt blood?"
"Wolf, this was not a part of the deal!" shouted
Exveemon furiously. "I helped you build these things so you
could protect the Digital World, not so you could destroy
it."
"But I am protecting it," came the reply. "What
better way than to eradicate the virus-type Digimon and anyone who
stands in my way?"
One of the Digibots suddenly turned round. Its arm became a
flamethrower and the corridor burst into flames, charring
everything in its path and the flames billowed out with such force
that the Digimon were torn apart by the pressure of the fires that
tore at them like the fires of Hell itself.
Cyberdramon watched in complete horror. Exveemon was a friend
of his, a new friend of his. Now he was dead too. Now he was dead
too. A fiery rage burnt within his heart, as brightly and as
intensely as the flames that the Digibot was blowing out into the
corridor. It was just as destructive too, making Cyberdramon’s
very blood boil and taking away all reason from him and blinding
him to any thought of harm that could come to him.
With a rageful, furious roar, Cyberdramon ran straight towards
the flames.
"No, Cyberdramon, stay back!" protested Ryo, but his
Digimon didn’t hear him.
His Digimon rushed straight into the fires, not caring for the
consequences and let the flames burn. The Digibots turned on him,
opening fire with volley after volley of laser, but Cyberdramon
didn’t care. He let them hit him and rushed straight to the
nearest Digibot, lashing out with a claw and crushing its metallic
head in his claw and letting the very robotic machine explode in
his grip.
"Cyberdramon!" called out Ryo, his face shielded with
a hand. He was worried for his Digimon. Ryo feared that his
Digimon would die too. He didn’t want to lose Cyberdramon, the way
that Wolf lost WereGarurumon. It was not the way he wanted to see
Cyberdramon go.
Suddenly, the flames subsided. Without a thought for his own
safety, Ryo ran through into the corridor to find it empty and
charred. He looked around him at the destruction. The place smelt
of death, even though the carcasses of the Digimon no longer
existed inside the corridor, having disintegrated into tiny bits
of data a long time ago.
"Exveemon!" exclaimed Ryo, as he ran through the
corridor of the now ruined Resistance Base.
He collapsed beside the blue Champion-level Digimon. The
Digimon was badly bruised and seemed to be bleeding badly, his
body nearly charred beyond belief and recognition. Just his luck.
Tears formed in Ryo’s eyes, as he knelt down beside Exveemon. He
felt worthless.
"Exveemon, I’m so sorry," he apologised to the Digimon.
"I’m so sorry I wasn’t there to protect you."
"It’s okay, Ryo," whispered Exveemon hoarsely, as
he raised a hand and brushed it against the brown-haired Tamer’s
face. "It’s okay. Do not cry. It’s not your fault."
"No, it is!" protested Ryo angrily. "I should
have been there for you, to protect you from the Digitopia Army,
but I wasn’t." He cried. "I’m worthless," he
sobbed through tears. "Waste of space."
Exveemon wiped a tear from Ryo’s eyes.
"Don’t think that," he said quietly. "It is not
your fault. It is Master Wolf’s, for creating Digitopia, for
creating the Digibots." He forced a smile on his face, even
though he was too weak to smile. "It doesn’t matter that
I’ve died. What does matter is that I died fighting for what I
believed in, fighting against Wolf’s Army." He gently
turned Ryo’s head to face him. "Ryo, look me in the
eyes," he told the boy, and he saw Ryo comply. "Promise
me that you will continue to fight. Promise me that you will
continue to resist Digitopia and Master Wolf."
"I will," nodded Ryo. "I promise that I’ll
make him pay for what he’s done."
Exveemon opened his mouth in an attempt to say something else,
but he had no more energy left. His body weakened and the digital
data that made it up began to break up. Bits of digital data
floated away from his body, as he began to waste away and
disintegrate.
"No!" screamed Ryo, his voice echoing all around the
ruined base.
MegaGargomon fired his missile barrage, destroying all the
ADR units. He turned and faced the large, humanoid ADR-07 unit.
"Time for you to fall!" cried Henry and MegaGargromon
simultaneously, as they punched the ADR-07 in the head, sending it
toppling to the ground with a thud.
The ADR-07 unit crashed into the concrete floor and it was
splattered across the floor like a bug flying into a moving
car’s windshield.
"Hey, I think I see Ryo ahead!" announced Henry, as
he looked through MegaGargomon’s eyes.
"Let go of Ryo now!" demanded Cyberdramon, as he
stood there in front of the D-Reaper, glaring at the ADR-W unit
with pure hatred. "Let him go or else!" he threatened.
The ADR-W smiled, as it raised its claw like hands.
"Why should we do that?" asked the ADR-W in its usual
feminine voice, a voice that belonged to Jeri Katou. "He
belongs to us now," announced the ADR-W, "like Wolf’s
image, which we procured from the remains of Digitopia." The
ADR-W unit’s smile widened.
Ryo was entangled in red, fibrous tentacles. He was held in a
crucifixion position underneath the rib cage that formed the ADR-W
unit’s main torso. His head was slumped forward, as if
unconscious, and his face was covered in a blood red liquid that
could have possibly come from the D-Reaper’s ADR-W unit or from
Ryo himself.
"I said, let him go!" roared Cyberdramon, as he leapt
into the air and slashed at the tentacles with his claws.
The ADR-W pulled its clawed hand back and smacked Cyberdramon
over the back of his head with it, sending the Ultimate Digimon
crashing to the ground.
"Do you wish to fight against me and change the path of the
future away from that of my ideals?" asked the ADR-W unit, as
it placed its clawed hands on the wall of chaos that it was
embedded in.
It pulled itself out of the main mass of D-Reaper and freed
itself to reveal the rest of its body. It had wings like that of
the Jeri clone, but they were red and seemed like raw, skinless
flesh. It also had a spinal cord and from it, came out the mass of
red tentacles that entangled Ryo. The tentacles spread out, to
form a something like a cloak, that trailed across the floor.
"Come, come, oh come and fall to your knees," called out
the ADR-W. "Give your life and die before me."
"Screw you!" shouted Cyberdramon, as he clambered up
to his feet. "Desolation Claw!" He fired several white
blasts of energy up towards the head of the ADR-W, but the hideous
Agent was too quick and moved out of the way. "Bastard!"
he roared, as he flew up towards the ADR-W and slashed his claws
at it, only to have his attack blocked.
The ADR-W raised its hands and its head glowed. Circles of
light flew up from its head and landed around Cyberdramon,
constricting his arms and falling down to the ground, bringing him
crashing down with them.
"Glorious destruction!" announced the ADR-W. "Death
eternal! Noble. Glorious. Die before us! Accept your destiny and
be deleted!" The ADR-W lowered its claws and fired a stream
of lasers down at Cyberdramon.
A metallic hand reached out and smashed into the ground in
front of Cyberdramon, protecting the Ultimate Digimon from the
attack. It belonged to MegaGargomon.
"You’re not harming anymore people!" announced
MegaGargomon and Henry simultaneously. "This time, you’re
going down! You’re the one that’s going to be deleted!"
He lashed out with his hand and tried to grab the ADR-W unit, but
it had flown out of MegaGargomon’s reach, dragging Ryo with it.
"Worthless," spoke Ryo emotionlessly. "Do not
deserve to live."
The ADR-W repeated Ryo’s words mockingly before it pointed at
the ground, and moved its finger in a straight line horizontally.
The ground burst into flames in response, a trail of flames moving
across in the same direction that the ADR-W’s finger had moved.
MegaGargomon picked Cyberdramon up and lifted him away from the
flames. He could feel the heat of the fires heating up his
metallic legs.
"Ryo," said Cyberdramon, resting a hand on the
brown-haired Tamer’s shoulder.
Ryo merely shrugged the hand off, however. He was crying. He
was still crying.
"Why did this have to happen?" asked Ryo, as he looked
at the destruction. The village he had been protecting had been
destroyed when he had been away. Why didn’t he see it before? Why
didn’t he realise that the first wave of advancing Digibots were a
decoy, that they were meant to lead him away from the village,
whilst the second wave went in and destroyed everything? Why
didn’t he see that? "Why did they have to die?" he
wondered out loud. "They were innocent. They never did
anything wrong! They weren’t evil, so why did they have to die?
Why?"
Cyberdramon remained silent. He did not know what to say. What
could you say to a person that had lost an entire village of
friends that he had learnt to love as a family? There was no way
to ease the pain of death. There was no way of easing the pain of
such atrocities committed in the name of peace and justice.
The brown-haired youth felt as if he was playing a losing game
against Wolf, the Master of Digitopia. Not once could he match
against Wolf’s strategies. Not once had he been able to thwart
Wolf’s designs.
"Wolf, you were once my friend," muttered Ryo, as he
knelt there, tears soaking the ground. "You were once my
friend, but now you have taken away all that I held dear." He
looked up and to the north-west, where he could clearly see
Digitopia Tower, a tower that stood for everything that was evil
in the Digital World. "You will feel my pain, Wolf. I swear,
that you will never forget the pain I feel!"
Henry felt angry at the ADR-W. He was angry at the
D-Reaper. He was angry at everything it stood for. Though he was
within a Mega-level, he felt helpless. It seemed as if there was
nothing that he could do to save Ryo, to save the one that... To
save the one he loved? 'Don’t start that again,' Henry thought
to himself, chiding himself. 'It was your inability to recognise
the truth that got us in this mess in the first place.'
"MegaGargomon, let’s do this!" he called out.
"Right, Henry," agreed his Digimon. "D-Reaper,
you’re going to release Ryo now and you’re going to go
down!"
