Dragon's Echo
Chapter 4
Demon's Roar
(Betamon X: You know, every once in a while, a Fanfic lives up to a standard hard to get to, Ancient Enemy By Thinker, Perfect Hazard By Black... but until the next one, we hope this Numemon Sludge satisfies you're thirst)
Armageddonmon stirred from his sleep, and the sand rustled above him. His large body was buried deep in the sand of the Dark Desert. His data radiation had changed this once lustrous flowing Jungle into a cold, hard, unforgiving, Black Desert. He had buried himself here years ago after the fall to his foe Fanglongmon. The Great Dragon had sacrificed himself to destroy Armageddonmon. The insectoid digimon had never felt such pain in all of his life as in that one moment. The digital world was saved as Armageddonmon fled. He had stumbled into the ground of this forest, his body starting to be overtaken by it.
He was the Armageddon though, Ragnarök, Judgment Day, War World III, Doomsday... the end of the world. He had no motivation, needed none. His cunning mind was far superior to any other. He had met his match with Fanglongmon, but he had survived... and slowly his will to live destroyed the forest and caused it to collapse into nothing but sand and dust. Thousands of digimon died, and he slept.
His sleep was not fruitless though, he planned in his resting state. He knew that he would not be ready for a long time to fulfill his obligation. He needed someone to prepare the world for him, so that he could destroy it down to nothing. He knew this, and knew that the Sovereign would suspect something, so he waited, until he saw his chance in his mental state. Over four years ago, a young boy wished for a digimon... he had stirred, every part of his fiber awake in that second, the sands of the dark desert shifted, the great turtle had become alert. Armageddonmon knew what he was doing though... he sent his servant out awhile ago... Diablomon... the devil to prepare his way. He knew he couldn't fulfill his mission though, and in that second of that boys cries, he gave the boy his wish. The data sent was very small, but just enough to hide away something in the red digimon's core. Armageddonmon had his digimon.
So, he fell asleep and waited for the Hazard to call him when the world was ready. He never was sure if the old turtle caught on, no doubt he would realize that Diablomon was merely a distraction, but would the turtle realize that the Destroyer of the World would choose a human digimon as the one to come before? To make the world ready for his coming? He did not know...
He had been disturbed from his sleep only seven months after that day. He heard the roar of Hazard, and the sands shifted again as he listened. He felt Hazard try to make the world ready for him... then something strange happened... the work stopped. He let his dreams drift to that part of time and space in the next couple of months. Hazard had been activated by the anger of the boy through his digimon. The result was magnificent... and yet worrisome. The will of the Human through his digimon hadn't been strong enough, and Hazard worked only on it's mission... prepare the world.
As a result, Hazard was neutralized, and the boy unlocked Dukemon. He was surprised to see his foe. Of all the Royal Knights, Dukemon was the only one he had managed to capture. The rest had been either too weak or too evasive. However it was using Dukemon's data that he had created the Hazard. It was an inconvenience, but he could wait... after all, the only sovereign who actually remembered him was Ebowumon... the other's were too young when he destroyed the other three Sovereigns to actually remember him.
He let his mind continue to wonder, and it led him to the Human world in the West Quadrant. There Omegamon fought with Diablomon. Diablomon however had made clones of himself, and used them to create a mockery of him. It had outraged him and he thrashed in his sleep. The rifts in the sand were legendary on that day.
He defeated Omegamon, but Armageddonmon laughed at his so called defeat. Diablomon was an idiot... taking a shot in the mouth... his data would have fallen apart in an hour. What was the fool trying to do? Of course, then the humans fought him with their digimon. He had to say, he was impressed, the Humans fought well, as a team. The one with the Goggles leading his troops on the back of WarGreymon, was a commander of unusual status.
He cared for his troops, knew each of their strengths and weaknesses, knew when and how he could depend on them, and when he needed to distract Diablomon himself so his friends could get away. Armageddonmon couldn't wait tell he faced off this human, but he settled down once again. Chuckling when another digimon tried to impersonate GranDracmon. These impostors didn't even know what it meant to be a Mega digimon.
The sands stirred again as he heard the cry of Hazard on that illuminating night. He grinned... Hazard was starting to emerge from the digimon... pretty soon Megidramon would prepare the world for him. For know he just needed to wait until he called.

Devidramonroared his cry and he rocketed against Growlmon. "YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE ME THIS TIME!" His enormous speed carried him past the red dino, as he let his claws slam onto Growlmon's shoulders. He flew up into the sky and dropped the Champion from over three hundred feat in the air.
He grinned as flew down towards the falling digimon, his claws full of Black energy. To his surprise, Growlmon sprouted two massive wings as Devidramon went to slam his Dark Claw into him. The red dino had not lost any rage of his mate being hurt. Somebody was going to pay, and they were going to pay dearly. He grabbed the Devil Dragons arm and ripped it out of it's socket. Devidramon screaming out in pain in pain as looked at the trail of data that drifted where his arm was just a second ago. Growlmon wasn't finished though, roaring in agony, Devidramon felt his other arm torn completely off.
Growlmon's tail wrapped around the virus digimon and the spiked end slammed into Devidramon. He let go of Devidramon with his arms and flew straight up as fast as he could. The devil dragon hanging by Growlmon's tail embedded into him, the pain being unbearable, like every piece of his data was being separated.
Growlmon stopped and let Devidramon hang. He roared, the echo coursing through the digital world. He ripped off the wings of Devidramon in the same manner he had his arms, and let him drop. He watched Devidramon fall, his lust for a kill satisfied, his fury started to abide, and fear took over. He dove to his mate, and collapsed from exhaustion, next to her, dedigivolving to Guilmon.
Demi-Devimon and Impmon stood there, surprised. "What did we just witness?" Impmon asked.
Demi-Devimon's mind however was on other things, "Get some bindings and sedation liquid... that guys going to make us million's!" he said exasperated.
"By the Dark Zone, is money all you think about?" Impmon asked, "Pineapple head there could have annihilated us all in mere seconds. Besides, without Devidramon, how in the digital world are we going to carry them?"
Demi-Devimon thought about that for a second, "I'll go higher some help. You bind them up." he told his viral partner.
Impmon sighed, he was never going to understand Demi-Devimon, of course he only understood one of his brothers, but still. "Alright, go higher some more flunky's." Demi-Devimon flew off with five thousand bits and two Black rings. Impmon grabbed some bindings and went up the hill. He strapped Renamon's arms together, and then her feet. He checked her back then, their was some heavy damage. He sighed and went down and grabbed some medical herbs. He saw Lopmon glaring at him, unable to say anything because of the silencer bandage across her mouth.
"What Toots?" Impmon asked innocently. Lopmon glared harder and Impmon felt slightly guilty, "What can I say, I have to make a living." Lopmon rolled her eyes. Impmon laughed, "Listen... I've got some friends I need to take care of first, so I'll annoy you later, Toots." He went back up to Renamon with another pair of restraints and the medical herbs. Lopmon was confused at Impmon's attitude... exactly what was he up too?
Impmon muzzled Guilmon's mouth,then put restrainings around his arms and legs. He tended to Renamon's wounds next. He fixed them up as best he could, but he knew she needed a lot more help then what he could give if she was going to survive a trip with Demi-Devimon. He carried Guilmon down to the camp first and injected him with sleeping data. After witnessing him start to become Megidramon again, he put in a dose meant for Mega's. He looked over at Lopmon, She knows a lot more about medicine then I do. He thought. He walked over to her and ripped the silencer off her mouth.
"You little piece of Baihumoning poo, you're no better then Lucemon were you're tamers and Jeri just some big ploy so that you could get some blasted Ebowumon's Forest worth of power you big piece of Devimon scum we should have left you for the D-Reaper how can you do this you little piece of Numemon fodder you're no better then a Demon lord!" Lopmon shot out as fast and mean as she could at him.
"Would you shut UP!" Impmon shouted interrupting and startling the already frightened Lopmon. She shut up very quick. "A. I am a Demon Lord, so get used to it and B. The only reason I undid you're silencer is because I need you're help healing Renamon, she's badly injured and I doubt she's going to survive the trip with Demi-Devimon. Unless you want her death on you're hands, you're going to help me."
Lopmon had been expecting him to slap her or do something like that. She almost wished he had, cause then she would know that he really had turned his back on everything but she didn't know what to make of this response. "What do you need me to do?" Lopmon asked after thirty seconds of awkward silence.
"I need you to tell me what to do." Impmon explained. "I'll carry you up there, then we'll save Renamon's life and get on with what I need to do." Lopmon was about to demand more, but she realized that he was going out on a limb with Demi-Devimon to do even that much.
"Lets go."
Impmon grabbed Lopmon like a baby and carried her up there, holding extra tight to her rear. "You're loving every minute of this... aren't you?" Lopmon said accusingly.
"Well, I do have a beautiful digimon in my arms completely at my mercy, and able to make you do anything I want... yeah, I have to admit, it's enjoyable." He grinned. He set her down when they got to the top of the hill and she wiggled her self into a good view of Renamon's wounds.
"Ouch." She said, "it looks like the wire framing has been bent if not broken. This is going to take awhile. I could take care of it faster if you let me out of these bonds." Her tone was completely, serious and wanting to help her friend. He almost gave into it.
Impmon laughed, "You are my friend, but I wouldn't trust you any more then Leviamon."
Lopmon sighed, it was going to be a long two hours, "well, lets do this." she said.

Takato bolted out of bed in cold sweat as a piercing roar coming from his digivice. The sound slammed into his ears, a pain both Emotional, Physical and Spiritual. It was an echo of the Demon Dragon's Roar. The Demon Dragon that he created. It scared him as he grabbed his digivice, it was showing Hazards rating's going up very quickly.
MEGIDRAMON WING ACQUIRED
"Guilmon...NO...!" Takato shouted at the the D-Arc, unable to do anything. He felt a pain flow through him from Guilmon's heart. A pain of fear, anger, revenge. A pain that shackled happiness away from him.
MEGIDRAMON TAIL ACQUIRED
Takato stared in inexplicable horror at the screen, "GUILMON STOP!" He shouted pleadingly. The pain in Takato's voice woke up his parents.
Takato could do nothing as Hazard's power climbed, "Please... don't." He pleaded to his digivice, "Guilmon... I don't want to lose you again... I can help... please, whatever it is... I can help... I don't want you to turn back to him." Takato continued to plead with digivice like this tell the Hazard level dropped out of the screen.
His mom came bursting into his room with just a robe on, "Takato...are you all right?" She asked with the worry of a mother.
Takato turned to his mom with horror in his eyes. "I'm losing him mom." Takato told her, "I'm losing him again." Tears started trickling as his voice was filled with sadness, anger...fear. Takato's trickling of tears started to flow more steadily. His mom grabbed him into a hug, and he cried to sleep in her arms.
Mrs. Matsuki comforted her child that night like only a mother could. Seeing him like this, she shared in his pain, imagining what it would be like to lose Takato like he lost Guilmon. She rocked him back to sleep. She put him in his bed and covered him up. She sat by his bed for another thirty minutes after that stroking his hair. Mr. Matsuki came in, Takato's mom looked at her husband, "it seems just like yesterday that he was asking to go off to the digital world."
"And the day before that when he was born." Mr. Matsuki said.
Mrs. Matsuki gave her kid one last kiss. Mr Matsuki put his arm around his wife. She stared at her child, "Sometimes I wish we could take a few hours off to spend family time with our kid. Do you think we could have raised him better?" She asked.
"After everything he's done, I don't think there is a way we could have raised him better." Mr. Matsuki said. Mrs Matsuki took one last look at her child, then went to bed with her husband.

Henry and Seiko stayed by Rika's side in the trip to the hospital. The medics were doing their best, but they had to wait tell they got to the hospital before they could cut her open to get to the bone. They had confirmed that Rika had tweaked a bone in the spinal cord out of line and that two of her ribs were broken and another two cracked. Henry watched her the whole time, noticing that about half way through the trip to the hospital, her breathing became easier, and she no longer had the bones jabbing out of her skin.
As they arrived, they hopped out into went the waiting room while Rika was rushed in to the emergency room. Yamaki, Shibumi, Suzie and Ryudamon arrived a few minutes later. "Are you sure that's a good idea?" Henry asked Yamaki indicating to the X digimon.
"No... I think it's a horrible idea... but she wouldn't have it any other way. She's too curious about everything, if we don't fill her curiosity at least a little bit, she's going to break out on her own, and that would cause even more problems." Yamaki said, "but she promised she would do her best to make sure the humans weren't afraid of her."
Suzie sat down, looking over at Henry talking to Yamaki. Ryudamon sat next to her, "I hope Wika's ok." She said. Ryudamon put her paw on Suzie's knee.
"She'll be fine, from what I've read of her, she's not one to die easily." Ryudamon stated, "however... I didn't think that a bond that strong was possible." she mused. Ryudamon looked over as a nurse came over to them.
"Excuse me, but no animals are allowed to be here." The Nurse said.
Ryudamon and Suzie looked up at the Nurse and all was quiet for a minute. Henry and Yamaki turned to the two and Seiko and Shibumi watched with fear of what was going to happen.
"I'm sorry," Ryudamon said, "I did not mean to scare you, but under Section 5 Sub 3, it classifies digimon as neither human nor animal, but as a Kingdom all on it's own, broken down from there first into Viral, Data and Vaccine, and from there, Beast and Humanoid, and then it starts braking down into larger groups from there."
The nurse was speechless to see this thing she thought some sort of rare animal speaking to her like an intelligent being. "I...uh... excuse me." She said walking off very quickly.
"That could have gone over worse." Henry said.
"Or Better." Yamaki said disgruntled.
"Pessimist."
"Realist."
"Same thing."
Yamaki chuckled, then he went silent, "I wonder if Ryudamon showing up here had anything to do with this."
"Either that, or it was just a thing of chance." Henry spoke. Their two minds raced thinking about everything that had happened.
Seiko and Shibumi stared off into the direction of the Emergency room, "Reminds me of when Commandramon smashed his fist on the wall. Shattered three bones in you're hand." Seiko stated.
Shibumi chuckled, "I don't really remember those days, I was asleep most of the time thanks to those berries."
"You have a point. Commandramon however wasn't so lucky. As far as we know, he still doesn't feel anything in his fourth finger."
"At least we know their alive." Shibumi said. "Sometimes I wish we still had the old days. The six of us protecting the world."
"Yoush never did quite fit when we found him, I mean, Oikawa and Hiroki at least had each other, and we understood them. Yoush never had that though... he did things his own way, and yet he always watched out for us before him."
"It's hard not to reverence him. He saved all of our lives at the cost of his..." Shibumi said. He looked over and saw Seiko's eyes lower in deep sadness. "You really loved him... didn't you?"
"You didn't?" She asked.
Shibumi sighed, "He was my older brother... I never knew it until after he died, but he did so much for me... he went out of his way so that I could have something as simple as ice cream when I was craving it. Crazy fool."
Seiko laughed, "So that's were he went that one time."
"Yeah... but Seiko... you really loved him...didn't you... more then the brother sister relationship?"
Seiko sighed, "Yeah... I did. I still don't forgive myself to this day for letting him do that."
"I imagine it must have been hard for you to let Rika go." he said.
"Not really. I mean, she does have Renamon after all, if she had any other partner, I probably wouldn't have let her."
"So many things have changed since our generation," Shibumi said.
"yeah... we're all old klutz and you're still living in you're prime." She teased.
"Hey, I'm not that much younger then you." Shibumi defended himself. The was a quiet silence, then Shibumi finally spoke up, "Why did you and Hisoki part your ways?" he asked.
Seiko's eyed stared in the distance, "it was for the best." she replied.
"I don't suppose I'm going to get more of an answer then that out of you... am I?" He asked.
"Someone had to watch out for the little kid." She joked, but her eyes still bored into the distance. She missed her husband as much as she missed Kudamon, she missed seeing her son, she wanted to see her own grandkids more then just through a cartoon. She wanted to know and to feel them, to hug them and let them know how proud of them she was. A tear streamed down her eye as pleading words came to her lips. "Be careful Taichi...Hikari."
Shibumi said nothing as a Doctor came out.
-
-
-
"So... how is she?" Yamaki asked.
"I don't know... she's cracked four ribs, but I had thought for sure two had completely snapped." The doctor told him, "I don't know, judging by how the other ribs cracked, I'm surprised that those two weren't broken completely. I'm starting to think I'm going crazy."
"You're not going crazy... it's an affect from the Digital World." Henry reassured him, "Renamon had become severely injured and it transferred over into Rika. Evidently Renamon's wounds were healed somewhat, so some of Rika's wounds were healed too."
The Doctor stared at Henry in amazement, "I recognized her as a Tamer... and I suppose that makes sense. However I don't understand why you're telling me this."
"Because," Ryudamon said walking up, "we're fighting a war based on the opinion of peoples, and people fear the unknown, the more you know... the better chance I have of living in this world." she said.
The Doctor looked down, "you Digimon are quite remarkable." he complemented
Ryudamon bowed, "It is an honor to be named as such."
Yamaki turned around as three men in suits and ties came crashing through the doors. "On What Grounds do you have to bring a dumb stupid dangerous animal into a public place, and a hospital at that!" Yamashowzu shouted, the short bald one of the three. All eyes turned on the furious government official.
"Digimon Section 5 Sub-Section 2 Digimon are not classified as Animals. Digimon Section 3 Sub-Section 4 A Rookie level Digimon is not naturally dangerous, and a warrant must be made for their arrest. Digimon Section 3 Sub-Section 9 Digimon are allowed in public places as long as they do not disturb the peace, or cause damage to the area because of Size, special abilities or any thing else that could cause damage." Ryudamon stated.
Yamashowzu was taken back at the digimon's reply, "Their's no such thing!" he growled, "Don't you know who I am. I'm Yamashowzu, the leading expert on digimon in world. Head of Japan's research into you creatures."
Yamaki grinned, "You know... while you were trying to get me kicked off the Digimon project, I was protecting both mine and the digimon's rights. Everything Ryudamon just told you is true, and I'm surprised that a Digimon Expert such as yourself doesn't know a thing about them." He said calmly.
Yamashowzu was taken back, "This isn't over Yamaki." he said.
"I would be disappointed if it was, and I'm kind of disappointed that you haven't done you're research, it makes my job to easy." Yamaki said.
"You think you own the government? Rules can be changed... and I'll make sure every last blasted demonic monster is destroyed." Yamashowzu said and walked out.
"Well... looks like the war for Digimon independence has begun." Henry said.
"Let's just hope we got the right kind of ammunition to fight it." Shibumi muttered.
Seiko silently agreed. The war was coming back... this time though, they had Yamaki.
Yamaki wasn't so sure of his self. Yamashowzu knew about every single one of the codes, so what was he doing? Was he just trying to get a message across? Was he trying to throw him off guard? Did he just want an excuse to see Ryudamon? Their was long war ahead of him, and he wasn't nearly as confident as Ryudamon that he could protect her.

Impmon walked behind Demi-Devimon while a Phantomon carried their three captives in his energy bubble. Impmon had kept an eye out on Renamon, although she had done fairly well. Guilmon was still sleeping as they didn't want to take any chances with him. Lopmon had her silencer put back on, but they allowed her to stay awake.
Impmon looked around as they walked through the castle. It had a nice feel about it. It wasn't this run down, dark, shadows behind every corner behind of place. Their was definitely a virus feel about it, but it wasn't evil. "So this be our employer's place?" he asked.
"Yeah... what's it matter?" Demi-Devimon asked.
"Just want to know in case I kill you and take the job over myself." Impmon told him.
Demi-Devimon laughed, "You may be able to kill me, but you wouldn't make half as much money without my brains."
Impmon chuckled, "why do you think I keep you around?" he asked.
Demi-Devimon glared at him wondering what the young Rookie was up too. Impmon continued to marvel at the place, he looked at the statues made by Kamemon, the fine wood work, the stone cutting. Most of all he loved all of the painting's , their was a few by the great Veedramon, an occasional Floramon, and he even caught sight of one done by Dianamon. He stared at it and burned a mental picture into his skull. One that was hotter then a dwarven fire.
"This place is nice..." Impmon commented.
The Phantomon spoke up, " I must agree... Demi-Devimon was right that I could make it easy working for this master." he said.
Impmon chuckled thinking about the Phantomon's fate. They got nearer to the main hall, and Impmon noticed that their were a lot more Data and Vaccine's in this area. All slaves of course, with Black Rings. Every last one was female on top of that. Their were Floramon's cleaning all over the place, and he spotted a Raramon carrying food. Their were also a couple of Biyomon's and a few Gatomon's, enslaved to do the master's bidding with Black Rings. The guards let them past after a quick conversation with Demi-Devimon.
As they went Impmon smiled greatly... he had guessed right. Demi-Devimon bowed, and the Phantomon did as well, after he saw Demi-Devimon do it.
Lucemon CM smiled, "You are a brave one to show no respect rookie." he said judgingly.
Impmon laughed, "Don't take it personal... I really just don't like your type." he said. Impmon cast his eyes round about. He was relieved to see that their were no slaves here except for the Kazemon next to Lucemon. However, their was quite a few of mercenaries around the throne, most of them Ultimates.
"Shall I make him fear?" MaloMyotismon asked maliciously.
"No."
"No?"
"I understand where the young rookie is coming from. There are those who are prejudice against those of us smart enough to use both the light and the dark." Lucemon guffawed. "They entertain me." He said slowly
"Or stupid enough, depending on how you look at it." Impmon wittily, "Cause You don't get out of the Dark Zone for a very long time." he said putting a heavy emphasis on very.
Lucemon glared, ready to destroy the rookie until Leviamon spoke up, "He's right my brother... out of all the Demon Lords... you have spent the most time in the dark zone."
Lucemon glared at the Ancient Crocodile, "I would watch you're tongue while you are in my stronghold... Brother." he said, his tone filled with hate.
Demi-Devimon decided it was a good time to present his gifts, "Oh Mighty Lucemon... I have brought you gifts."
Lucemon cheered up somewhat, "Really Demi-Devimon... what do you expect for these gifts?"
"Just the Bits that they are worth."
"Well, then. Who have you brought me to be my slaves? I trust they are very noteworthy for you to be so cocky."
Demi-Devimon grinned, "Oh Yes, they are very noteworthy." Phantomon dropped the three digimon in front of Lucemon. "Renamon... Tamed by the Digimon Queen herself... Lopmon, The sovereign's servant tamed by the human... and Guilmon, who has manifested strength of undeniable power."
Lucemon practically drooled when he saw the three digimon bound before them. "I'll give you thirty million for the three." he said instantly, "I knew you were good Demi-Devimon... but never this good."
Demi-Devimon bowed with honor.
Impmon stared at Lucemon, and his eye caught something in the shadows. It was an Eye, a very large eye, and standing next to the Mega digimon was a tall human with a Gomamon for a partner. Impmon spoke up, "I wouldn't give Demi-Devimon nearly so much credit if I were you... Brother!"
"Hmm?"
Beelzemon brought his two guns to the side like Alucard. "DOUBLE IMPACT!" he cried as two shots rang out.
Time slowed as the bullets pierced through Perfect digimon like water. Beelzemon brought his arms in an X, his guns pointed towards spots farther up the wall and two more bullets slowed time. He put his gun over his shoulders, letting six bullets fly into Phantomon.
Beelzemon stood up as the dust settled, digitama strewn every where. He snickered. Lucemon stood up and MaloMyotismon got ready to strike. "Beelzemon!" Lucemon shouted in surprise and disgust.
"Took you long enough." The Demon Lord said, he brought his two shotguns in an upside down cross. "I thought that you would at least recognize your own brother... looks like I gave you too much credit."
"Shall I destroy him?" MaloMyotismon asked.
"I would leave this one to the demon lords." Ghoulmon said, as he stepped out of the shadows.
Lucemon turned to him, "What are you doing here?" he demanded.
"Enjoying the show." Ghoulmon stated.
"Bah" Lucemon was mad, "Baihumon... you'll pay Beelzemon!"
Beelzemon grinned, his guns still in the upside down cross, "Now we'll see who's the real Digimon based off Beelzebub." he said.
Lucemon dashed forward, as a sword of light and darkness appeared in his hands. Beelzemon leapt over him as Ghoulmon snatched the Tamed digimon away. Beelzemon's shotguns let a series of rounds enter into Lucemon.
Lucemon covered himself with his wings, the bullets bouncing off him. Lucemon turned around, "Nice shot Alucard..." his mocking voice trailed off as he turned around to come face to face with Beelzemon's Corona Blaster. "Oh Fanglongmon." he swore as Beelzemon grinned.
"CORONA BLASTER!" he shouted as the large amount of violet light slammed into Lucemon sending him flying into the doorway.
"Dark Cannon!" MaloMyotismon shouted. His attack slammed into Beelzemon who had enough time to look back and see the attack coming towards him. It slammed him up against the wall next to Lucemon. Lucemon saw a chance and slammed his foot in Beelzemon's direction. The other demon lord flung his foot up and kicked the attack away. Lucemon growled in fury as Beelzemon grinned.
"Oh, now that was uncalled for." Gomamon said indicating to MaloMyotismon.
Ghoulmon chuckled, "I'll keep a watch for guards." He said and disappeared.
MaloMyotismon turned towards Joe and Gomamon. "You think a rookie can take me? Even if you digivolve to champion... you are nothing but a Tamed digimon. Weak, disgusting, repulsive"
"Always gets the girls, and ends up the hero." Gomamon finished his sentence. "Yeah I know... I've heard this speal from all the other bad guys who were jealous, so can we just get onto the part were I kick you're but?" he asked cockily.
MaloMyotismon was caught off guard, but quickly regained his composure. "Kick my but? You'll be wishing you were in the dark zone." He said almost as cocky.
"So I take it that its' time to put you there?" Gomamon asked still cocky. Joe shook his head in the background at his digimon.
"Enough!" MaloMyotismon cried. "Dark Steam!" he called.
Gomamon rolled forward out of the way of the attack. "NOW JOE!" he cried.
Joe got out his digivice, that was now shaped like the Crest of Reliability, "Let him eat Numemon poo Gomamon..." his digivice glowed a bright silver.
"GOMAMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO PLESIOMON!" he shouted. MaloMyotismon started to feel a tad bit of fear at this digimon who was looking to be four times his size. Plesiomon charged into the Vampiric digimon, driving him into and taking the left wall along with him. Joe ran after his partner.
Kazemon saw her master injured and went to go help him when Lopmon danced into her way. "I don't think so little missy." she said.
"Hurricane Wave!" Kazemon shouted. Lopmon leapt and started twisting with the wind.
"Lopmon Sovereign Digivolve To Turuiemon." The purple digimon leapt out of the attack.
"Tempest Twist!" Kazemon started spinning on her hands and knees towards Turuiemon.
Turuiemon closed her eyes as the attack came near her. At the last second she moved to the side at hyper speeds. "SHYRUKEN!" she cried, the light distorting around her so she looked like a purple dragon as she slammed into Kazemon. She landed on her hands and knees as Kazemon stumbled back from the attack. Kazemon steadied herself quickly though, and let her feet slam into Turuiemon's face, sending her flying back a few feet.
Lucemon and Beelzemon had finally gotten up after they futilely attempted to beat the other to a digitama by kicking each other from the ground. Lucemon flew up into the air, "Now feel the power of the Ultimate Sacrifice!" Lucemon had a maniacal evil grin on his face. He threw a ball of darkness at the ground were Beelzemon was, followed by a ball of light. The attack commenced forcing the two to mix into a horrible pain. "Let me here you scream!" Lucemon demanded laughing.
"Why?"
Lucemon looked up to see Beelzemon in front of him with two Black wings coming out of his back. "HOW!" he demanded in a rage.
"DARK CLAW!" Beelzemon shouted slashing through the fallen angel. He landed on the other side of the angel as they fell to the ground.
Lucemon could feel himself starting to fall apart, he looked back with a snarl at his brother and took off, his wings able to carry him a lot faster then Beelzemon's could. He flew and weaved as to dodge Corona Blaster.
Beelzemon chuckled, "So you're running eh? How typical." he said. Their was a large vrooming sound as Behemoth crashed through the door. He got on his bike and started after the fallen angel through the very open left wall, the air catching in his Black wings, his shotguns in his case. He drove forward with a mission.
Plesiomon let MaloMyotismon and all the rubble fly. He stared the demon down. MaloMyotismon got up, "I'll destroy you!" he cried charging forward. "CHOAS CRUSHER!" he cried as his claws filled with dark energy. Plesiomon gave him his left fin, and the attack tore right into it.
MaloMyotismon tried to pull his claws out of the injured fin, but couldn't. He looked up at the Long Neck Digimon, "You sacrificed your arm to beat me?!" he cried in disbelief. Plesiomon looked down at him.
"No, the battle was already won, that's just the tactic I choose to use. SAND WATER BLAST!" he shouted as a torrent of sand and water shot out of his mouth crashing down on MaloMyotismon destroying him to a digitama instantly.
Plesiomon de-digivolved and Jyou Kido came over. "You do realize if you had done anything else, he would have beaten you." His partner told him.
Gomamon ground his teeth as Jyou poured an antiseptic into his wound. "I wouldn't have been beaten." he said as soon as the pain was bearable, "but yeah... I probably would have gotten thrashed quite a bit... I didn't forget how smart he is."
Jyou shook his head as he looked at the wound. "This isn't good." he said, "the attack infested it a little bit, and the infestation's grabbed onto you're broken wire framing. You'll probably be out of fighting for two weeks." he told his partner.
"Two weeks being six days." Gomamon told his partner with a grin.
"Just be careful." Jyou said as he splinted the arm up, "I wouldn't have a ride back home if you were gone." he said jokingly.
"oh, thanks a lot." Gomamon said rolling his eyes, " Now I really know how much I'm cared about by my own partner."
Joe grinned, "just keep it to the sniper rifle for awhile... alright?"
"Alright." the seal said. They turned to see Lucemon fly off, thirty seconds later Beelzemon on Behemoth used some debris as a ramp.
Lucemon was flying as hard as he could when a large shadow appeared above him. He looked up to see Beelzemon on Behemoth, his wings blocking out the light as a deadly shadow. "By Azulongmon's beard." he swore.
Beelzemon felt the thrill of the wind as he rode on his bike above the demon lord, the human world behind him, he leaped off his bike and caught the wind of the air as Behemoth slammed into Lucemon. The Demon lord dropped like a rock as the tires ground into him, destroying his face through the friction of their moving. Lucemon slammed into the ground, Behemoth just a few meters away.
"My... brother... how..." Lucemon gasped, the pain excruciating, "How is it that you... not only have the... Cor...onablaster, but also.. Behe...moth and the wings... Tell me... the source of your power..."
Beelzemon put his shotgun up to Lucemon's head, "you'll probably live for another twenty minutes, so consider this a mercy shot... it's more then you would do for me... Brother." he said.
The shotgun rocketed back into his hand, his arm coming up. The moment seemed to last forever as the bullet entered his Brothers head, "Goodbye... Brother... Looks like you won the title of Satanmon after all... Congratulations." The digitama with the symbol of pride sat there. Beelzemon turned away and started walking towards Behemoth.
Beelzemon got on his bike and took one last look at the egg that was once Lucemon. He drove back to the now wall less castle at a slow speed. When he got back, he de-digivolved and looked around. Leviamon, Joe, Gomamon and Lopmon were all waiting for him while Guilmon and Renamon were unconscious.
"What happened to you toots?" Impmon asked Lopmon.
"Kazemon's a pain in the rear to hit it the neck." she told him.
The imp chuckled and turned toward Leviamon, "and exactly were where you doing this whole ordeal?" he asked.
Leviamon chuckled, "I was just letting my family deal with each other, besides I was having a nice snack" he said, "I never did like rookies though." he said.
Impmon rolled his eyes, "right... you didn't think I could do it... did you?"
"Nah... I knew Lucemon's pride would destroy him. He let himself be blinded by his power." Leviamon told him, "Anyways, I should head off... I'll contact you the usual way." he said.
"Alright... so who's next?" Impmon asked.
"Lilithmon."
Impmon's eyes were raised, "You sure you want to try and take her on?"
"No..." the demon lord said, "It's just that if we defeat her, we'll have to do it openly and if we do beat her... then it might scare everybody else enough to turn down their operations."
Impmon looked at his brother, "If we don't make it out of this one... I'll see you in the Dark Zone."
"Yeah... the curse of being a Demon Lord, you have to spend time with you're brothers you hate and the sister you can't stand." Leviamon said. He turned off and slunk into the sewer system.
Impmon watched his brother go, then turned around to see Lopmon right in his face. "You've got a lot of explaining to do." she said.
Impmon sweat dropped. "That depends if you'll go along with me." he said.
Lopmon folded her ears, "We don't see you for three years, then you kidnap us, take us to demon lord, then have you fight and destroy you're own brother, and now you just expect me to trust you one you're word? On top of that you've been hanging with a human and you haven't told us about it." she demanded.
"So do you agree?"
"You're an extortionist."
Impmon grinned, "Welcome to the life of a Vigilante, Toots."
