Chapter 10: Koichi vs. Tommy
"The next match is Tommy and Koichi." Ophanimon stated. Koichi and Tommy stood up and walked down to the arena.
"Choose your weapon." Ophanimon instructed showing them what was left.
Koichi took the Bow and a quiver full of arrows, and Tommy took a pouch that contained 20 shuriken, with out saying a word to each other they took there places.
"Good luck." Koichi said with a playful smile.
"Thanks you to, Koichi I'm not going to go easy on you." Tommy replied.
"I wouldn't want you to." Koichi replied.
"Ready and begin!" Ophanimon called jumping out of the way.
Tommy took out his d-tector and data formed around his hand "Execute Spirit evolution!" He shouted as the data wrapped around his body.
Koichi pulled an arrow out of the quiver and set the end of the arrow on the string of the bow.
"Kumomon."
"Crystal Freeze!" Kumomon shouted as the ground of the arena started to freeze.
'Damn!' Koichi thought keeping his balance.
Koichi shot the arrow it missed Kumomon but just barely.
"Blizzard blaster!" Kumomon yelled shooting snowballs at Koichi.
"Oh boy…" Koichi mumbled starting to run. He slid behind a pillar that was covered in ice and set another arrow.
The shooting stopped, Koichi looked around the pillar to see where Kumomon was.
"I don't understand why didn't he digi-vole into Loweemon?" Zoë asked turning to face Takuya and Koji.
"I don't know." Takuya replied staring at the ice covered field.
"Where did he go?" Koichi mumbled to himself looking around.
"Blizzard blaster!" Kumomon yelled.
"What the-?" Koichi said turing his head to see snowballs come flying at him.
Koichi was struck in the back with about 15 snowballs and went skidding a crossed the ice.
"Koichi!" Koji shouted standing up.
"Koji don't… worry about me I can handle this." Koichi said slowly getting up.
'Ok think Koichi how can you beat him with out hurting him.' Koichi thought.
"Koichi pay attention!" Koji shouted from the stands.
Koichi jumped out of the way of another attack. Kumomon came strait at Koichi. Koichi put his bow on his back and put his arms out in front of him bracing for the impact. Kumamon slammed into him. Koichi slid backward about 5 feet.
"Blizzard Blaster!" Kumomon shouted.
Koichi pulled out his bow and spun the bow in circles the snowballs slammed into the spinning bow and shattered, making a pile of snow in front of Koichi's feet.
After the attack stopped Koichi pulled his d-tector out of his pocket, the ring of data formed around his hand, when a snowball hit his hand making his d-tector flew out of his hand.
"Damn." Koichi mumbled watching his d-tector slid along the ice covered ground.
"Frozen Tundra!" Kumomon said holding out his hand.
Ice started forming around Koichi's d-tector. Almost instantly Koichi's d-tector was completely covered in ice.
"W-why I-is it s-so cold?" Koichi stuttered as he fell to his knee's.
"Neat isn't it I stayed up till 1 last night figuring out how to do this move?" Kumomon stated letting his hand drop to his side.
'What's going on I feel so cold?' Koichi thought watching his hands shake.
"There's a little twist to this new frozen tundra as your d-tector freezes so will you, I say by the way you look you have about a half an hour to beat me." Kumomon said staring I the shaking Koichi.
'Loweemon can you hear me? If you can still hear me hang on as long as you can please.' Koichi then slowly stood up "A half an hour? …Fine."
Koichi pulled an arrow out of the quiver and placed it on the string of the bow and slowly slid his fingers throw the feathers of the arrow. Koichi closed his eyes and muttered something under his breath. He slowly opened his eyes while bringing the arrows end close to his check. The tip of the arrow turned a violet color and darkened until it turned a deep black.
"Now let's see if you can survive the depths of fate!" Koichi yelled releasing the arrow right at Kumamon. The arrow stopped right in front of Kumamon's face, and then the whole arena was covered in darkness.
"Fate… there is no such thing as fate for us, only those who are swallowed by ignorance and fear… fall into the rapid river we call fate." came Koichi's voice from the darkness.
"What's going on?" Kumamon said looking around.
"Fate." Koichi said showing up in front of Kumamon.
His face was turning whiter by the second. The rest of the group showed up in the darkness.
"What's going on why am I glowing red?" Takuya asked looking at his arm.
"I'm guessing it has something to do with this spell?" Koji answered looking at everybody else.
"Correct, this is a spell I came upon one day during school, I kept it a secret I didn't think that I would have to use it though." Koichi stated his arms shaking.
"Now let's see if you can beat the darkness…" Koichi stated fading into the darkness.
"Where did you go?" Kumamon shouted.
"Behind you!" Koichi called slamming Kumamon into a black object witched happened to be a pillar.
Dark flames appeared in his dark blue eyes. The grip was so tight on Kumamon it forced him to d-digivolve into Tommy. Tommy's frozen tundra was still in effect.
The spell shattered as every thing went back to its normal frozen state.
'My hands feel so numb.' Koichi thought as he held his bow in his hand ready to shoot another arrow. Tommy took 8 shrunken out of his pouch and throw them at Koichi. Koichi jumped out of the way, and Tommy pulled his hands back toward his body. Koichi caught a glimpse of why the shrunken where coming back at him.
'Wires…' Koichi thought ducking as the shrunken went flying over his head.
Then Koichi ran towards Tommy and kicked his feet out from under him. Tommy fell on his butt, as Koichi stood back up. Icicles were forming on the ends on his hair.
Tommy slid back against the wall and stood back up.
Koichi quickly shot four arrows at Tommy they hooked on his sleeves and bottom of Tommy's pants; witch pined him against the wall. Koichi place another arrow on the string and pulled it back, his eyes focusing Tommy through the fog from his breath as he aimed
Ophanimon came flying down from the crowd "This fight is over, the winner is Koichi!" She stated standing in front of Tommy.
All the ice melted and every thing went back to normal. Koichi walked over to his d-tector and picked it up. He stared at it with soft eyes 'Thank you.' Koichi thought as he felt his body fall to the ground. The last thing he herd was Koji shouting his name.
