Note:I am using Henry's Japanese name because I think Lee just sounds so much better than Henry.

Lee looked on at the battle in dismay. He had never wanted Guillmon to transform into the horrible monster he was now. Even if they won when he destroyed Beelzebumon, Megidramon would have killed them for sure, and perhaps he would have even killed himself through his rampage. But even he had been beaten by Beelzebumon.

What had happened?

Takato was lying on his back, staring up in a haze. Blood covered about half of his features, oddly noticeable by the fact that there was almost no blood left in his body, turning his skin a sort of creamy white. Look at all this. They were trying to beat Beelzebumon. Yet they ended up getting themselves killed. They hadn't hurt him at all. They had hurt themselves with their own anger.

When he saw the barrel of Beelzebumon's guns flash, and when he saw Takato fall to his knees, he started running towards him. He saw this kind of serious look in Takato's eyes that he had never seen before. Takato was going to try and kill him. He was apparently heedless of any damage to himself. He wanted Beelzebumon to die.

When he stood up, Lee gasped. Nobody, not even Takato, not even Renamon could take that much damage. Takato limped towards Beelzebumon as best as his torn body would allow.

Sorrow and pain could not even begin to describe the grief Lee had when the barrels shot the second rounds. Takato's body went limp, falling to the ground and flying back nearly five feet. He settled in a heap near the middle of the huge leftover crater surrounded by broken ones. Beelzebumon laughed in his horrible way, apparently enjoying the agony Takato was going through.

Rage.

Boundless rage. It showed through everyone's feelings. They wanted to kill Beelzebumon. And they were going to do it. Now they understood the true pain that Jeri and Takato. They found out what they were going through when they lost a loved one.

Renamon was limping towards Beelzebumon at the best her torn body could allow. Lee was screaming at Beelzebumon, saying all the colorful things he would do to him when he caught him. Terriermon was running towards him at the best speed he could manage. Susie was still in a heap on the ground, crying her little heart out.

Lee looked down at her. Then he leaned down and hugged her.

"Don't worry Susie...Its gonna be okay...Takato will be just fine" he said comfortingly.

He picked her up in his arms, then he began to jog towards Takato, wear everyone was crowded around, wearing hurtful faces and pitying, tear-filled looks on themselves. Even the cold hearted Rika had a few tears to show, knowing that Takato was going to die.

Lee never thought that anything this horrible would happen to them. Takato had once said "Theirs not a digimon around that strong enough to beat the two of us!" And look what Guillmon had done. They hadn't been beaten by Beelzebumon. They had been beaten by themselves.

Beelzebumon was no longer in view. For some reason, he had given up. Takato was leaking blood in about five places. Two on his arms, once in his leg, one in his stomach, and one in his chest. He was going to die soon.

"Please don't die Takato" Lee found himself saying.

Everybody, even Kazu found themselves crying at the state he was in. Wounds were all over his body. Rage had taken control of him and look what it had done. It had killed him. Everyone knew it.

Takato was going to die. Jeri had his head in her hands. She was sobbing onto his face.

"Tell...Guillmon that...I am...sorry" he murmured. Then his eyes softly closed. Takato was dead. He was no longer in the horrible place known as the digital world. Lee almost felt that he was lucky. But then he remembered something else.

Takato had died for no reason. His death shall not be in vain. He was going to kill Beelzebumon.

What about all of Takato's hopes and dreams? What about growing up and just living out his life like any normal person should instead os getting sucked into this stupid adventure. All of his dreams, all of his hopes, they had been thrown down into the garbage. Just because of Beelzebumon.

He was going to get revenge. Aside from Terriermon, Takato was his best friend. He was the only person in the group that he really knew. And Takato was going to die. What had Takato done that made him die? It was damn fair! It should have been Lee, it should have been Rika, but no...it was Takato. And he hadn't done anything.

If he were to ask who had committed the most sins throughout his life, he would have said him or Rika every time. Not Takato. He didn't do anything wrong. Yet he was still dead. Nothing was going to change that. He was going to die.

Lee leaned down next to Takato, then cried softly along with the others.
