Chapter 6: Damn Just Damn
The feeling in the air was tense. It must have been strange going against someone that you fought along side before. ‘Is this something that would have happened if dad had to come back here? Would he have had to go against Agunimon like Sasuke is about to?’ I thought.
“Here I go.” I heard Sasuke mutter as the wind blew lightly towards us.
I watched as Sasuke sprinted towards Agunimon like he had fought in countless fights and this one was no different. ‘Just how strong is Sasuke? Can he really beat Agunimon?’
Agunimon was the first to throw out an attack. The attack was pyro darts I remember my father talking about it in his stories. The darts were coming at Sasuke as fast as Agunimon could thrust his fists in front of him like he was throwing punches. Sasuke dodged the attacks effortlessly as he spun on his heals and landed the first blow with his staff to Agunimon’s side.
Agunimon took a sharp breath in and quickly reacted to the hit and grabbed a hold of Sasuke’s staff with both hands and threw him and the staff in the opposite direction. With the height that Agunimon threw him Sasuke should have easily hurt himself on the landing.
“Sasuke…” I muttered worried and feel helpless.
Sasuke instantly corrected himself in the air and sent out a burst of flames at the ground to slow down his fall. The first spun around him and disappeared when he hit the ground. He was down on one knee and he looked at Agunimon.
I saw Sasuke tighten his grip on his staff and he went back at Agunimon. Agunimon threw out pyro darts again and sasuke blocked them with his staff and he ran in. When Sasuke got in close enough to land a hit of his own for a split second I saw a smirk spread across Agunimon’s lips before fire erupted around him and it turned into a tornado. I could tell that Sasuke wasn’t expecting it as he was knocked back from getting hit with a roundhouse kick and hit the ground pretty hard.
“Sasuke!” I shouted and took a step towards the fight and I was going to help him.
Yuki grabbed my shoulder and I looked back at him to see him shake his head, “We can’t interfere.” He reminded me and I stepped back again and kept quiet.
“I was not expecting that.” Sasuke coughed getting up.
Agunimon didn’t let up. Right as Sasuke was getting up the threw more fire at him as he ran at him. Sasuke rolled out of the way and managed to get a knee under himself so that he could get some leverage. Agunimon threw a pyro punch at Sasuke and Sasuke was hit square in the chest from the punch and sent up into the air. He ended up letting go of his staff. I thought that he was knocked out when I saw him correct himself again in the air and shoot fire balls at Agunimon before he landed and did a quickly tumble roll to cushion the fall. He quickly got back up on his feet and threw some quick fire balls at Agunimon before getting over to his staff.
Sasuke popped his staff back up into the air and snatched it just in time to get knock some of Agunimon’s attacks out of the way and he slammed his staff into the ground and held onto it tightly as Agunimon’s roundhouse kick from his pyro tornado connected with the staff that was just inches away from landing against Sasuke’s side.
“You’ve gotten stronger Sasuke.” Agunimon stated.
“It looks like using my staff isn’t the best way to fight you.” Sasuke smirked and he lifted himself up onto the top of the staff and flipped himself up and over Agunimon and spun around and kicked Agunimon with a fiery kick in the back.
“I’ve trained day after day since the last day I saw you and Takuya. I’m not the kid that you once knew Agunimon.” Sasuke had such a serious expression on his face. He was determined not to lose…I have a feeling he’s not going to lose either.
“I can tell, you’ve matured quite a bit since the last time I saw you. But you have to get me to my knees to get my to see that you’re worthy to be a digidestin.” Agunimon stated.
“Fine with me.” Sasuke said and went at Agunimon again.
His attacks were different he was much more aggressive. Sasuke seemed to completely change his fighting style. “Was he just trying to get the hang of fighting again Agunimon?” I muttered.
“It’s a possibility. There’s probably more to Sasuke then he’s letting on.” Yuki said and I looked over at him as he was focused on the fight that was taking place.
I looked back at the fight, “You’re probably right.” I said and went back to the fight.
With how fast and how precisely Sasuke was throwing his attacks at Agunimon he was starting to remind me of a fire bender off of the Avatar the last air bender series. When I think of it that is a pretty good base to describe us.
Sasuke was able to get close to Agunimon and tried to sweep his feet out from under him. Agunimon jumped up to avoid the attack and continued to stand his ground. Both Sasuke and Agunimon threw a fiery punch at each other at the same time and they connected flames erupted around both of them and we all had to turn away a bit to be able to handle the heat. When I was able to look again Sasuke was being thrown towards us.
“Sasuke!” I shouted I couldn’t stand by any more if I did he was going to get seriously hurt.
I ran out towards Agunimon as he let go of Sasuke. “Jack are you insane?” Steven shouted at me.
I caught Sasuke, but the force that he hit me I lost my balance and we hit the ground and skid back a little bit. “Are you alright?” I asked him after catching my breath.
“I’m fine.” He said taking deep breaths. “This just isn’t easy.” He smiled a little sitting up onto his knees so that I could sit up.
“Don’t turn you back to me.” Agunimon shouted. I took a sharp breath in as I saw him running towards us and his fist cocked back and erupting in flames.
“No wait, Stop!” Sasuke said quickly standing up in front of me and putting his arms out wide.
Sasuke was protecting me. I watched as Agunimon threw his punch and stopped inches away from Sasuke’s face. Sasuke didn’t flinch he stood his ground and wasn’t going to back down. Agunimon took a couple of deep breaths and then smiled letting his fist loosen and fall back to his side as he stood up straight.
“You pass.” Agunimon said with the smile still on his face.
“I-I pass? But I didn’t beat you.” Sasuke stated a bit confused.
I stood up and looked from Sasuke to Agunimon then back to Sasuke. “You had the courage to stand up and protect your friends from harm.” I spoke up.
“Jack is right. Courage is what goes with my spirit. I think the biggest courage is being able to stand your ground no matter who your opponent is and to be able to protect your friends. So you pass Sasuke.” Agunimon explained and held out a hand to Sasuke.
Sasuke took his hand and held onto it tight. “I look forward to fighting with you again and lending you my strength.” Agunimon smiled and then faded as he took a few steps forward into Sasuke.
We all stood there quietly for a few minuets. “Damn…just damn that was one hell of a fight.” I spoke.
Sasuke smiled looking a bit tired, “Thanks.”
“How did you make that staff?” Sebastian asked as he ran over to us.
“I will have to teach you all how to create your soul weapon.” Sasuke laughed.
Yuki and Steven joined us. “What’s a soul weapon?” Yuki asked.
“It’s a weapon created from your soul that you summon with your element.” He said.
“How do you get it?” Steven asked.
I just smiled and started laughing. Everyone looked at me confused. “I’m sorry it’s just so funny, we were all so serious during that fight and now we’re all asking questions and having a good time. It’s just nice to see everyone smiling.” I mentioned calming down and wiping a tear from the corner of my eyes.
“It’s true, I haven’t seen all of us smile like this in a while.” Yuki agreed. “Welcome to the group Sasuke.”
“Now where do we have to go?” Sebastian asked.
“You will all have to make your way to the Forest Terminal.” I jumped a bit when I heard a random voice come from behind me.
I quickly turned around and looked down to see that there was a wizardmon standing behind me.
“Oh wow Wizardmon!” I exclaimed happily.
“Do you work for Ophanimon?” Sasuke asked getting right to the point.
Wizardmon nodded and bowed, “I am here to take you to the forest terminal. But first you all need to rest. I am sure it has been a hectic day for you all.” Wizardmon said.
“We probably should rest.” Steven agreed with a nod.
“Alright, we understand.” I nodded at wizardmon.
“You all get some rest and we will start for the terminal in the morning.” Wizardmon commented and walked away from us.
