Digi-Night: Foes from the Portal
The sound of the thundering boom from the small but deadly gun in the hand on a half human half Digimon by a force of unknown case went off as his hand bounced back from the power it made. His wedding suit having small bit of blood when he kick Zant, but it was hidden much in the black, but seen in the white part of the shirt. Rena held their child close and held her eyes away as she too didn't look at what Link did. The thundering sound of footsteps where heard as the guest they had came out, some gasping at what was transpiring, some didn't know what to say at all. Zant was still standing, knife in hand as he held his arms up as if to protect himself from the bullet that was meant for him, but he felt no pain, he heard the shot; so why was there no pain. Opening one eye, his breathing slowed down a bit as he heard the sound of sizzling smoke beside him. Link at the last moment turned his arm just a inch, aiming at the tree behind him, the sliver copper ore bullet lodged deep in the bark, just a mere inch from his face. By then, Rena looked up, to see Zant still standing, she was confused of why her mate let him live, when he easily killed the other two. Looking over, she squinted her blue and black eyes to only see sparks come from the heads of the one he 'killed'.
Battles Bots, made to look like human to confuse enemies, she forgot that Zant had them. Link brought the gun down as he began to walk over, bringing another hand to the gun, a click was heard as he pulled the gun back, and then let it go as it feel apart with ease from his hands. Zant, in a still sate of shock, didn't move as Link was before him, but gain his senses when he was thrown to the tree, with Link holding him by the scruff of his shirt.
"You come to our wedding," he spoke so low it almost seemed that he was whispering. "Threaten to rape my wife, and then to kidnap and make my daughter into a sex slave?" his grip tightened hard on the shirt, causing the part he was holding to rip a bit, leaving four holes where his fingers grippe; his arm started to change, growing large a bit and deep black. "I should kill you were you stand Zant, for all the pain you caused Rena while with you; but that is not my choice." Turning his head ever so lightly, everyone but Rena back away as they saw his black and red eyes. "Rena," he spoke to her as she looked to him. "What do you want to do with him?" Was he really giving her the choice for Zant fate? Was he giving her the power to allow him to kill him in her way or his own? Looking down at their child, she looked away for a moment as she thought.
"Just..." she answered. "Let him go, my past is my past, he can not harm us any longer that I know for sure." Link nodded turning back as his eyes returned to normal; dropping Zant hard.
"Listen to me Zant," he kicked the knife away as the human before him crawled backward out of fear. "If you harm my child or Rena, or anyone I know," he brought his hand up, and then turned it into a hard fist. "I will crush the life out of you, understand?" Zant didn't say anything as he only looked toward Link with wide eyes, by then he was getting angry, and in his rage he punched the tree causing it to shatter into pieces uncountable as Zant screamed out in shock as the group behind Link jumped back. "UNDERSTAMD?!" he roared loudly his eyes going back to red and black.
"Y...yeah I...I understand!" he stammered over his words as Link turned his back to him.
"Go now, before I do kill you!" stumbling over himself, Zant was on his feet and gone, leave the guest of a crash party, and Link walking forward.
Zant ran as fast as his legs could carry him though the city, come gave him side glances, but afar from that nothing. Turning into an ally way he slammed his back into the wall panting hard and sweating. He didn't know why he was so scared of Link, was it the way he handled his Battle Bots? Was it was the way he threw him up and kicked him around? No, it was his eyes; they still burned deep into his skull, like a like would cut though darkness. It still left his body shaking with fright, and he was no doubt miles away by now.
"Damn it!" he screamed turning to punch the wall behind him with his knuckles. "That damn Digimon fucker beat me like that? Agh!" he kicked a trash can over causing a stray cat to scream and jump over a wall. Shoving his still shaking hand into his pockets he made his way toward the same wall the cat jumped, he too was about to jump when he saw something from the side of his eye. Turning to the source, he came face to face to a hooded being. Robe wrapped tightly around the body and the hood over the face, covering the eyes, but keeping the mouth visible. Zant knew the being was female from the lip and the tent in her chest. The robe was red as blood, a black lining going down the chest, and around the back which was covered. A black cape covered her right shoulder as it went down almost to her hip, as the robe covered her feet.
"Upset sir?" she asked in a delicate voice, her lips curling upward to a smile; showing her pearly white teeth which were brighter then her skin.
"I don't think it's any of your beeswax if I am or not."
"So child like," she laughed lightly as the sound of the city echoed around them.
"Whatever," he huffed pushing pass her as he went toward the city.
"Don't you want to make them pay for making you seem weak?" Zant stopped as he turned his head slightly back to her. "That seemed to catch your vibe."
"What do you mean?" he asked, acting dumb to see what she would say.
"That, 'Digimon fucker' as you called him, Link am I right?" Zant neck and arms tensed at the name. "Seems I am, well, do you want pay back for what he did to you?"
"No shit!" he cried turning fully back to her. "Listen here lady, I've had everything I ever wanted since I was a child, and I get what I want!" he growled lightly. "And what I want is his head cut off and crushed by my hands!" the women chuckled lightly at his forcefulness now, curling a hooked finger toward her, she started to back away until a black beam of light shot from the ground, just higher then herself, as it opened showing a portal.
"Listen to me," she spoke. "My mistress has given me power unlike you can even think of, I was like you, weak and powerless. I am neither human nor Digimon; our kind has no name nor no heart or soul. We kill who we wish and when we wish, only if it doesn't cost us our clans way of life." She turned to the portal, the robe flapping behind her. "Zant, if you wish power to kill those who anger you, walk with me now; if not, just walk away and pretend this didn't even happen, and we won't bother you again." And with that, she made her way toward the portal, which seemed to shallow her whole as she walked in. the dark doorway, still open, waiting for Zant to make his choice. He could walk away now, get more Battle Bots and easily beat Link like that. But he didn't know what the full source of the 'human'. And the women that he was just talking to, there was something about her that made him want to go with her, made him want to listen to her claim voice. Looking back toward the city again, he shrugged and then smirked; walking into the portal as it closed behind him.
"Are you sure Saira and Guilmon can care for Nina while we're gone?" Rena was still somewhat spooked up about meeting her old Tamer and that he was thinking of taking their daughter hostage, but Link reassured her that taking the honeymoon was a good idea. Maybe the further away she was to where Zant had harmed her, the better. But she still had her doubt. Sure she wanted to have a honeymoon, but with Nina so young as well as Saira, could they really be alright?
"You do know that Brandon and Reno are also taking care of them right?" Link reminded her while having a large duffle bag on his back filled with both of their clothing, and suitcases, one in each hand filled with more clothing. They were to be gone for two weeks, and even though Nina was not too pleased about being left behind, the mother and father promised that the next time they went, she would come as well, and that they would call her twice a day. Link was fine now, having almost went Digimon back at the wedding area, and he was a little tired, transforming was one thing; holding it back when he was angry was a whole different story. But after making sure he was fine, the party went smoothly as it could, the cake was cut, the dances were made, and they were off. Again Rena changed as well as Link; he went with a baggy pair of black jeans and a white shirt. It clung to his body from the years of training he gave himself, as well as the Digimon DNA in his system, gave him a much leaner muscle like look. Rena wore blue shorts that went past her bending knees, and a black tank-top. The neck covered her breast and her fur puff which she found to be itchy, but some humans were still not use of having Digimon with their kind 'parts' in a way.
"Yeah, but Brandon is like a big kid and you know it!" Link laughed at that as he sat the bags down beside him as they reached the clerk.
"Yeah Rena I know, but still he offered." He looked over to the clerk, a young human in her mid twenties with long black hair. Wearing a blue uniform with the airport name on the front as well as her name, Kelly; on the front. "Hi there, we have tickets on hold, it's under Link." The women nodded, giving him a warm smile and before looking down, looked him up and down. Rena saw this, and narrowed her eyes; tail lashing behind her slightly.
"Ah yes Link here it is, two tickets, both round trips?"
"Yes that's it," he answered back with a nod of his head. Again she looked him up and down, he paid no heed to it of course, but Rena blood was boiling more and more as she saw a small smirk grow on the women face.
"Your plane will come in about an hour, and its area ten just down there," she pointed with a finger as Link followed and nodded. "If you and your..." she looked Rena up and down. "Digimon need anything just ask little old me alright?" by then Link knew that she was hitting on him and he could feel the tail of Rena hit his leg hard in anger, he held her waist with one hand as he smiled.
"Thank you Kelly," he bowed his head. "But I'm sure me and my wife," Kelly cringed at the word as she looked at him then Rena with a wide opened mouth. "Will be just fine, thank you for your concern though." And with that, taking the tickets and handing them to Rena, he picked up the bags and left. As the two made their way away, Rena looked back at the human women; and stuck her tongue out at her.
"That bitch really called me Digimon like I was some dog!" once the two was seated by the doorway they would have to go to leave, she started to rant about Kelly and how she was sizing Link up.
"But aren't Renamons' part of the dog family?"
"Don't push me like that Link," she gave a playful growl as Link snicker, holding her in a hug. "Still, if this was the wild, I would've slashed her throat for that!" Link only rolled his eyes as Rena laid her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes and gave a consent sigh. It was a long day and she was very much tried, the smell of her mate entering her noise and the feeling of his body close to hers' almost made her want to jump on him and mate and wouldn't care who was watching. Since she found she was carrying his child, and then the whole coma and wedding thing, the two never found time to make love. It made her uncomfortable that he was so close, yet so far away because of everyone around. But she made a plan, that the moment they were in the hotel room; she would jump him, and coax him to make love to her.
"Hey just saying love," he shrugged his shoulders causing Rena to move lightly. Moving onto her back, she brought her head down on his lap, bringing his hand down to her belly and letting him hold it there as she looked up at him with a small smile. He smiled back lightly, using his other hand to brush where her hair would be if she had it like Reno had.
"Uh excuse me?" Both looked over to see a young girl, she seemed to be about the age of seventeen. Short brown hair toward her shoulders, the top where her crown would be was yellow as the sun. She wore a training top and jogging pants, both purple as she watched with brown eyes at the two.
"Yes?" asked Rena as she sat up beside him as the girl looked down.
"Um...I...I saw how you two were sitting beside each other and err...looking at each other...can I ask...are you two in love?" Link and Rena looked to each other then to the girl before them.
"Why yes we are, uh...?"
"Peggy," she answered as Rena nodded.
"Peggy alright, yes we are, and you know what else?" Peggy shook her head as Rena brought up her left paw to show the wedding ring. "We just got married today."
"Whoa really?" she asked in surprised as Link nodded.
"Yeah," he answered hugging Rena then kissing her cheek. "So far married for close to seven hours; let's see if we can go for eight?" both girls with him laughed at his joke as Peggy sat on the chairs opposite from them. "But why do you ask Peggy?" he asked as she looked down. "You're not one of those members that hate Digimon/human lovers are you?" Peggy looked up and shook her head.
"Oh no, no, no, no, no!" she cried waving her hand. "It just...well...I'm a Tamer and my team mate is an Augmon and well..."
"You like him don't you?" asked Rena as the girl looked down.
"Yeah..." she answered. "I...I just don't know, you see me and him are coming her to visit my mother who's in the hospital and well...she always told me to tell her before she died if I found love...and..." she looked down. "I haven't told him yet, and I'm a little worried is all."
Rena smiled as she moved over and sat beside Kelly, pulling her inside a sideway hug.
"I was just like you, you know?" Peggy looked up as Rena turned to Link who smiled and nodded. "You see, Link here found me pretty messed up, I won't go into the detail but he saved my life and nursed me back to health. Anyway, I was still somewhat worried about humans, because my last Tamer made me call him Master,"
"Last Tamer?" asked Peggy as Rena sigh.
"He left me to die,"
"Oh...I'm sorry,"
"Don't worry about it, anyway. I soon found out that Link was nothing like that bastard of a human, he was caring and sweet. He had to be to take care of a childlike Digimon like Guilmon, and yes Tamers can have two Digimon if strong enough."
"So he's your Tamer and lover?"
"Just Lover," Link answered as Peggy looked over. "I will not allow Rena to be treated like a lesser to me or anyone else for that matter." Peggy smiled as she folded her hands in her lap.
"So as I was saying," went on Rena looking to her. "I started to have feelings for him, I thought they were weird, having feelings like this for someone likes Link, and I mean it in the good way," Link frowned lightly as Peggy giggled. "It took every fiber of my being to tell him how much I care for him, and when I did," she looked over and held her hands out as Link held them.
"I told her how much I cared for her as well." Peggy gave a warm smile as she looked over at the two.
"It's like a fairy tale for you two," she told them as they looked over. "You think that Augmon would like me?"
"It's hard to say," Link answered. "Since I don't know him, but let me tell you this; you'll never know until you try."
"I guess..." she sighed and stood up. "Well...thank you both, and congrats on your married!" they all bid their farewells as she left off, she watched her go, and smiled when they saw a Augmon walk up to her, close to her size as they two started to talk. Though they couldn't hear they smiled even more when the Digimon seemed happy, and the two walking off, hand and claw holding each other.
"That doesn't happen much huh?" asked Link as Rena went to sit by him again, laying her head on his lap once more with eyes closed.
"Nope," she spoke while turning a bit to get in a comfy spot and curled up slightly. "Guess not."
Not too far behind them, a man wearing a hood over his head gave a crooked smile, removing his hood, to reveal Zant, his eyes no longer red; but gold as Guilmon. A small black being, about the side of his foot and as high as his ankle, crawled up his leg and arm and planted itself on his shoulder. Zant looked over at one of many tools the women mistress gave him to fulfill his first mission; destroy Link and bring Rena to them alive.
"You know what to do," he whispered lightly into the ear of the being, with red betty eyes as wide as his thumbnail and two twisted ears popping from its head toward the back, it only jumped off his shoulder and dissolved into the shadows. Link looked back, swearing that he heard something but saw nothing where Zant once was, and as he was looking away, the being of Shadow made it's way into one of his bags, before Link woke Rena up, telling her it was time to head for the plane.
