Till There Was You
Chapter Twelve
It wasn't long before Mewtwo, Renamon and Gatomon returned to Snowpoint City. Foregoing the need to keep themselves hidden, the trio touched down not too far from Candice's cabin, drawing a few surprised looks from townspeople who were passing by. Ignoring them, Renamon glanced around, but saw no sign of trouble.
“Strange,” she said. “I don't see any Feralmon. But...I have a bad feeling. They're somewhere around here, I can feel it.”
Mewtwo nodded. “I can sense them too.”
Mewtwo glanced over at the cabin. He felt a foreboding sense of dread. He sensed Candice inside...as well as someone else, someone with a sinister motive.
“Candice is inside, and she's not alone,” Mewtwo said. “We'd better go check on her.”
At that moment, the attack came. With a blood-chilling shriek, the Feralmon emerged from their hiding place and converged on the trio. The townsfolk yelled and screamed in terror at the sight of the savage Digimon and ran. Mewtwo and Renamon turned to face the incoming Feralmon.
“Gatomon,” Mewtwo yelled. “Go help Candice! We'll deal with the Feralmon!”
“Got it,” Gatomon replied. She turned and ran towards the cabin.
Renamon wasted no time. Knowing how tough the Feralmon were, she knew she'd need to step it up.
“RENAMON, DIGIVOLVE TO....KYUBIMON!”
Emerging from the light, Kyubimon charged at her foes, Mewtwo right beside her.
Inside the cabin, Lynxmon's ears twitched as she caught the sounds of battle. What were those fools doing out there? She had given them orders to stay put and not engage anyone. Unless...
“What in the world is all that racket,” Candice said, standing up.
“Oh, I'm sure it's nothing,” Lynxmon said. “Probably just some rowdy kids.”
“I'd better take a look,” Candice insisted.
“Really, there's no need,” Lynxmon said. “I'd like to hear more about Pokemon.”
“In a minute,” Candice said. “I need to make sure it's nothing serious.”
Lynxmon moved fast and jumped in front of her, barring her way.
“I'm afraid that's out of the question,” she said.
“What are you doing,” Candice asked.
“I tried to do this the easy way,” Lynxmon said. “But it seems that's no longer an option.”
Candice's eyes widened in realization. “You're not really a friend of Renamon! You lied to me!”
“Bravo, you figured it out,” Lynxmon sneered. “Now, take me to the temple!”
“Not happening,” Candice said, grabbing a Pokeball. “Go, Sneasle!”
A Pokemon around the same height as Lynxmon popped out of the sphere. It had gray-black skin and had a wicked set of claws.
“Sneasle, attack with Quick Swipe,” Candice ordered.
Sneasle launched itself at Lynxmon with amazing speed. It's claws were blurs as it swiped at her. Lynxmon moved fast, dodging the incoming attack. She grabbed a staff strapped to her back and wielded it against the Pokemon.
“Okay. You really want to do this,” Lynxmon said. “Here's an attack of my own: Fire Storm!”
A barrage of fireballs blasted Sneasle, causing it to stagger. The attack proved effective, taking advantage of Sneasle's Ice attribute. The Pokemon collapsed, unable to fight further.
“Good thing you told me about Type advantages,” Lynxmon smirked. “Any Ice Type you send against me, I can easily counter.”
“We'll see about that,” Candice replied. “Pokeball, go!”
A new Pokemon emerged. This one was huge. It was white with green arms, feet and a thick tail. It towered over Lynxmon, glaring down at her.
“My, you're big one, aren't you,” Lynxmon said.
“Abomasnow, attack with Razor Leaf,” Candice ordered.
Bellowing, Abomasnow launched a barrage of sharpened leaves at Lynxmon. Surprised by this attack, Lynxmon twirled her staff, intercepting the projectiles. One slipped passed her guard and cut her cheek. Lynxmon flinched.
“Now, Abomasnow, Ice Punch,” Candice said.
Abomasnow charged at Lynxmon. It raised it's massive fist, which was glowing with icy energy. The fist lashed out at Lynxmon.
“Null Shield,” Lynxmon said.
A circle of crimson energy appeared in front of her and Abomasnow's attack struck it. Immediately, the icy attack was dispelled. Abomasnow stared in surprise.
“Too bad,” Lynxmon said. “Now it's my turn. Gigas Flare!”
A massive fireball appeared in midair and slammed into Abomasnow. The hulking Pokemon collapsed to the ground, terribly injured and burned.
“Oh, no! Abomasnow,” Candice cried out, rushing to her fallen Pokemon. She knelt down next to it, examining it. Abomasnow moaned and tried to stand, only to collapse back to the floor. “Don't move, Abomasnow. I'll get you to the Pokemon Center.”
She returned it back to it's Pokeball and then stood up to face Lynxmon. The small cat Digimon watched her, a confident smile on her face. Candice was hesitant to summon another Pokemon. It seemed Lynxmon was much tougher than she looked.
“So, what's it gonna be, Candice,” Lynxmon said. “You gonna take me to the temple or not?”
“Even if I took you there, it wouldn't matter,” Candice said. “Regigigas is a Legendary Pokemon. You wouldn't stand a chance against it. And besides, you'd have to get past the three Guardians.”
“Guardians,” Lynxmon asked. “What Guardians?”
“The temple is guarded by three Pokemon: Regirock, Regice, and Registeel,” Candice explained. “They won't let you get inside the temple, especially if your intentions are evil.”
Lynxmon smiled. “Oh, I think I might be able to persuade them...or rather, you will.”
Gatomon had to fight past some Feralmon but she finally made it to Candice's cabin. She arrived only to find the door wide open. Dashing inside, she looked around but saw no sign of Candice or whoever had been in there with her. The place was a mess, as if a battle had taken place. Turning, she ran outside and looked around. Then she noticed two sets of tracks in the snow, leading away from the cabin and going north. Gatomon followed the tracks, hoping she wasn't too late.
At the temple entrance, a young woman dressed in a white robe stood at the vast stone door. Her name was Maria, the Temple Maiden, who kept watch over the temple and the giant Pokemon that slumbered deep within. She gazed at the three statues that stood sentinel nearby. The three Guardians. For the time being, they too were slumbering, and would not awaken unless there was a threat to the temple. Thankfully, there had not been any threats for a long time, and Maria prayed it would stay that way.
Just a ways from the temple, Candice and Lynxmon stood. The cat Digimon noticed the lone figure standing at the entrance.
“Who's that,” she demanded.
“Her name's Maria,” Candice replied. “She's the Temple Maiden and she keeps watch over the temple. Please, don't hurt her.”
“That depends on how well she cooperates,” Lynxmon replied. “Now, get moving.”
They approached the temple and Maria walked over to greet them.
“Candice,” she said. “What brings you here?” She looked down, noticing Lynxmon. “Who's this?”
“Never mind who I am,” Lynxmon snapped. “Now, listen up! I want in to that temple right now!”
“I'm afraid I can't allow that,” Maria said. “You would be risking the wrath of Regigigas. And the three Guardians.”
“So I've been told,” Lynxmon said. “But you're going to let me in, otherwise, you and your friend here will die.”
“Careful. She's more dangerous than she looks, Maria,” Candice said.
“If you try to enter, you'll have the Guardians to contend with,” Maria warned Lynxmon.
“They won't dare stop me,” Lynxmon said. “Not so long as I have you two as hostages. Are they willing to risk innocent lives?”
Suddenly, Lynxmon was tackled from behind. Candice stared in amazement! It was Gatomon! The two cat Digimon tumbled through the snow and then jumped to their feet. Both stood facing each other, tensed and ready to fight.
“Gatomon,” Lynxmon said. “So you managed to catch up with me.”
“You must be one of Emperor Leomon's stooges,” Gatomon surmised.
“The name's Lynxmon, and yes, I do serve Emperor Leomon,” Lynxmon replied.
“Then you probably know what happened to Leomon,” Gatomon said.
“Leomon? Oh, yes, him,” Lynxmon smirked. “Last I knew, he was alive. Though considering what my Master has been doing to him, I imagine he wishes he was dead.”
Gatomon's claws clenched in anger. “What have you done to him?”
“I haven't done anything,” Lynxmon said. “Emperor Leomon has been trying to...''persuade'' Leomon to join our cause. But he's being rather stubborn. I wonder how much longer he'll last?”
Gatomon yelled in rage and charged Lynxmon. Her claws lashed out, seeking to knock the smug look off Lynxmon's face. Lynxmon in turn managed to dodge her attacks and then struck with her staff. Gatomon reeled back from the hit but recovered and resumed attacking. Lynxmon used her staff to block and then counter, landing several hits on Gatomon. Then she swung her staff and landed a solid hit. Gatomon flew backwards and crashed to the ground.
“Ready to surrender,” Lynxmon asked.
“Not on your life,” Gatomon said, staggering to her feet.
“Good,” Lynxmon said, grinning. “I'd hate to end this battle so soon.”
Elsewhere, Mewtwo and Kyubimon had just finished off the last of the Feralmon. With the battle now over, Kyubimon reverted back to Renamon.
“That takes care of them,” she said. Then she noticed Mewtwo smiling at her. “What?”
“I still find your Digivolving quite amazing,” he said.
“Thanks,” she replied, returning the smile. “Though at some point you're going to have to show me your Mega Evolution.”
“I promise I will,” Mewtwo said. Then he turned his attention to Candice's cabin. He couldn't sense anything. “Something's wrong. I don't feel anyone's presence inside the cabin.”
“You don't think...,” Renamon fretted, fearing the worst.
Mewtwo stretched out with his psychic power and soon found the familiar presences of Gatomon and Candice.
“I can sense them,” he said. “They're north of here.”
“Why would they be north of our current position,” Renamon asked. “What's in that direction?”
“The Snowpoint Temple,” Mewtwo replied. “Regigigas resides inside.”
“Let me guess,” Renamon said. “A Legendary Pokemon?”
“Yes,” Mewtwo said. “And one we don't want waking up. The last time that happened, Regigigas went on a rampage.”
“Then we'd better get over there fast,” Renamon said.
Gatomon was sent sprawling to the ground. She tried to stand but was knocked flat by Lynxmon's staff. Lynxmon, standing over her, lashed out again, driving Gatomon flatter to the ground. Lynxmon continued her assault, hitting Gatomon mercilessly.
“Stop it,” Candice cried. “You're hurting her!”
“The servants of Emperor Leomon show no mercy,” Lynxmon replied coldly. “A lesson you and this world will learn soon enough.” She raised her staff, ready to strike again. She struck...only to have her staff halted by Gatomon.
“I'm...not finished...yet,” Gatomon said, managing to climb to her feet. “If you think...I'm going to let you and your master win, then you're in for a rude awakening.”
“And how do you plan to stop me, Gatomon,” Lynxmon said. “I'm an Ultimate Level Digimon. And you're just a Champion Level. You don't stand a chance against me.”
“Oh, really,” Gatomon replied. “I'm about to prove you wrong.”
Suddenly, a bright light surrounded Gatomon. Lynxmon staggered back in surprise, shielding her eyes from the light.
“GATOMON, DIGIVOLVE TO...ANGEWOMON!”
The light dispersed and everyone present gasped in surprise. Gatomon had changed! In her place floated a tall human woman wearing a helmet, covering the top half of her face and she was wearing a white outfit adorned with a golden breastplate and a large purple sash. Long golden hair flowed down and she had eight majestic white wings.
“G-Gatomon,” Candice stammered.
“Angewomon,” she corrected. “Get somewhere safe, Candice. Lynxmon and I have a battle to finish.”
Candice just stared at the angelic Digimon, unable to reply. Finally Maria grabbed her and pulled her towards the temple entrance. Once they were out of harm's way, Angewomon turned her attention to Lynxmon.
“Well, you're just full of surprises,” Lynxmon growled. “But it doesn't matter. I'll take you down no matter what form you take.”
“We shall see,” Angewomon replied. Then she flew at Lynxmon and the battle resumed.
Deep inside the temple, the mighty Pokemon, Regigigas stirred. It could sense a disturbance outside. Two strong powers clashing with each other, powers that were...unusual, unfamiliar. One was pure but the other was tainted with evil. The titanic Pokemon stood up, disturbed by these strange presences. It had to know what was going on and if this posed a threat to it and those who lived around the temple.
Mewtwo and Renamon arrived at the temple just in time to witness the battle between Angewomon and Lynxmon. The cat Digimon launched a barrage of fireballs at Angewomon. She gracefully dodged aside, the projectiles just missing her.
“Celestial Arrow,” Angewomon yelled, firing a bolt of light energy at Lynxmon.
“Null Shield,” Lynxmon countered, bringing up her barrier. The light struck and dispersed, though for a moment, the barrier buckled under the attack.
As the two Digimon continued to battle, Mewtwo and Renamon watched.
“Who is that,” Mewtwo asked, indicating Angewomon.
“That's Angewomon,” Renamon replied. “Gatomon Digivolved to her Ultimate Level.”
“That's Gatomon,” Mewtwo exclaimed. “You're telling me that a small cat-like Digimon turned into that?”
“Surprising how evolution works, isn't it,” Renamon said, quoting Mewtwo's exact words from the Safari Zone.
“Fair enough,” Mewtwo replied.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound emanated from the temple. The battle came to an abrupt halt and all eyes turned toward the ancient structure.
“What's happening,” Renamon asked. “What's that noise?”
“I have a pretty good idea what it is,” Mewtwo said.
The rumbling increased and Renamon heard what sounded like footsteps, gigantic footsteps.
Near the entrance, Maria grabbed Candice and pulled her away from the doors, knowing full well what was about to happen. Suddenly, the entrance burst open and a massive form emerged. It was white with massive shoulders and hands, both adorned with yellow plates. A yellow face plate tapered down the front from the top of it's head. Green moss covered the top of it's shoulders and it's feet. The torso had six gems, three on each side, resembling eyes.
“What...What is that,” Renamon exclaimed, amazed at the sheer size of the creature.
“Regigigas,” Mewtwo whispered. “It's awake.”
The titanic Pokemon towered over everyone present. It gazed around and then it's gaze fell on Angewomon and Lynxmon. Both Digimon stared up at the giant, unsure how to react. Then, with a mighty roar, Regigigas attacked them!
