Lightning Strike

[Intro Theme Promise This by Cheryl Cloe plays]

Hikaru sneezed.
"Gesundheit!" said Elecmon. "Thanks." replied Hikaru, rubbing her nose. She, Elecmon and Calumon walked to the Shopping Centre, where Hikaru should have her Street Battle. She knew that the others will have or have already their Street Battles and Hikaru was a little exited. She chose the Shopping Centre for a reason. Whoever will be her oponnent, she deceided to bet with him to pay her, Elecmon and Calumon an ice-cream if she wins.

Hikaru giggled at that thought. Well, she honestly wondered who will be her foe. Akari? No, she would rather choose Arisa. Akira? Nah, Takuto would be a better option then. Akita? Ken? Dean? Hikaru couldn't imagine that anyone of them besides Dean would battle her. It must be Dean, that's one for sure. He is sure still angry because she beat him in the first round of the DRA Tournament.

"Hey guys, how about an ice after the battle?" said Hikaru.
"Yay, that would be great! Calu!" exclaimed Calumon expanding his ears.
"I also think that it would be a good idea." said Elecmon with a nod.
"And than we'll go shopping." said Hikaru. Calumon and Elecmon sweatdropped.
"Errr..." Elecmon stuttered, rubing his head.
"I'm not sure. Calu!" said Calumon, rubing the ground with his feet, while his arms were crossed on his back. His ears shrinked. Hikaru smiled.
"I'm just kidding you. No, I wanted to see if the blue dress is still there." said Hikaru. "That's all."

Calumon and Elecmon gave a sigh of relief. In the Shopping Centre were many humans and a few Tamers with Digimon. Most of them were carrying bags or cheating in the caffe bars. Hikaru searched for the battle area. As much as she knew, it was in the middle of the shopping centre. Hikaru looked around, in hope to see at least one familar face, as she stepped on the edge of the battle area. Then she saw a quite familar bat Digimon, sitting on the head of a 12 year old girl. She had purple hair, wearing black googles, blue eyes and pale skin. She wore a black shirt, purple jacket and black jeans. Hikaru recognized Nanami Yuki, who was also a member of the Tamers.

"Nanami!" she cried out loudly. The girl turned around.
"Hikaru!" Nanami exclaimed as well as she went to her old friend. As they arrived, DemiDevimon jumped down, bowing properly.
"It's nice to see you again." he said.

[A/N: Nanami's DemiDevimon has nothing to do with the DemiDevimon from the Dark Area.]

"Ditto." said Elecmon.
"So, I guess you came here for a shopping tour." said Nanami. Hikaru shook her head.
"No. I have a Street Battle here. But it seems like someone's late." said Hikaru.
"Really? A Street Battle? Can I join?" asked Nanami. Hikaru shook her head again.
"I'm afraid you can't. Only me, Arisa, Kenny, Takuto and Rene were chosen for the Street Battle." explained Hikaru.
"Alright." said Nanami with a frown on her face. "And who will you battle?"
"Someone from the Hackers." Hikaru whispered with a shrugg, so only Nanami, DemiDevimon, Elecmon and Calumon could hear her. Nanami startled, but than she calmed down.
"I thought they were prisoned or something." Nanami replied with a whisper. "And do you know who exactly you will battle?"
"I have not the slighest idea." replied Hikaru. "Though I'm sure it'll be Dean."
"He was pretty angry when you beat him at the DRA Tournament." said Nanami with a smile. Hikaru nodded and also smiled. Nanami then remembered something.
"Why did you choose the Shopping Centre? Don't you think that someone would recognize your foe as a member of the Hackers." she asked.
"I don't think so. Beside the Rangers and the Tamers, no one knows that there is still a free Hackers group. And you sure remember how Arisa told us that they gave a quit at the Hackers Organisation. Though they kept the name of their group." said Hikaru. Just than, they heard a loud whistle.

"Are you guys keeping on cheating or will we have a battle?" asked a blue haired boy with sunglasses on his head. He had dark blue eyes, a light purple T-shirt, a brown vest without sleeves and blue jeans. On his brown belt was a white D-Power with a dark blue strap and ring and a blue card box hooked. Next to him stood a blue dragon with a white belly and a V-shape on his forehead. Be introduced with Dean Hagane and his partner Veemon.

"Well, you are the one who was late." replied Hikaru.
"Can we just start the battle? I have something interesting to show ya." said Dean.
"Alright, but the loser must pay the winner an ice-cream." said Hikaru.
"OK." replied Dean.

Just than, similar as with Akira and Takuto, the gadgets on the sides of the battle field flickered and illuminated the area with rainbow colors. Nanami, DemiDevimon and Calumon were outside the battle field. A few curious people and Digimon stopped to watch the battle.

"So? What's this interesting thing you wanna show me?" asked Hikaru. Dean took out a card. On it was the picture of a DigiEgg. It had a sharp metal horn and it was covered in orange-red firemarks.
"A DigiArmor card, so what?" Hikaru wasn't quite impressed.
"This is not a normal one. This was an orginal DigiArmor Egg till it turned to a card. I really had problems with finding it." said Dean. Hikaru blinked. If that was the orginal Egg than she had a problem. With the orginal Egg, the Digimon is ten times stronger than with a copy. What a sorrow that Armor leveld Digimon could also attend in a Street Battle.

[Shinka Theme Wir Drehen auf/Break Up by Digimon Adventure 02 plays]

"DigiModify, DigiArmor Egg of Courage, Shine!" Dean swiped the card through his D-Power. On the D-Powers screen appeard a few words.

ARMOR DIGIVOLUTION!

"Veemon, Armor Digivolution to..."

Veemon was covered in a DigiEgg cocoon made of blue data. Then fire rings encircled him and behind him appeared the Crest of Courage. Than the DigiEgg exploded as a blue dragon Digimon jumped out of it. It had armor on his head, chest, legs and arms which was covered with firemarks. On his head was also a sharp metal horn. He posed.

"Flamedramon, Fire of Courage!"

"O,o..." said Hikaru, holding up her yellow D-Power and analyzing the Digimon. "It says his name is Flamedramon, an armor leveled dragon Digimon. His main attack is Fire Rocket."
"So, watchya saying. Impressive isn't it." said Dean proudly.
"Yeah right. Just don't get cocky." replied Hikaru saracstically. Dean got red in his face.
"Who is here cocky!" yelled Dean angrily waving with his arms.
"You." Nanami answered calmly.
"Hey, don't insult my partner." said Flamedramon. "Fire Fist!"

Flamedramon's fist glew red and he shoot fireballs from it at Elecmon. Elecmon jumped out of the way, but one managed to hit him. He got back on his feet. Though he couldn't digivoluve to Leomon, he had to beat Flamedramon.

"Super Thunder Strike!" He fired a shock wave at Flamedramon. Flamedramon escaped the attack.
"Super Thunder Strike!" Elecmon fired his attack again and stroke Flamedramon with a powerfull shockwave. However, it wasn't enough to defead him.
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon surrounded himself in an aura of fire and then shoot himself towards Elecmon like a rocket.
"Elecmon, watch out!" Hikaru shouted. Elecmon jumped by side to avoid the fire rocket. Flamedramon hit the ground hardly, but due the gadgets the ground wasn't damaged. Elecmon gave a sigh.

"This was close." DemiDevimon commented.
"Sure thing." said Calumon.
"Hikaru you have to figure out how to beat him." said Nanami. Hikaru turned around.
"And how?"
"Somehow." came the reply. Hikaru sweatdropped.
-Sorrowly I have no idea how I should do it.- she thought.

"Lighting Knives!" Elecmon fired some knives at Flamedramon.
"Fire Fist!" Flamedramon counterattacked, firing flames at Elecmon's attack, destryoing the knives.
"Super Thunder Strike!" Elecmon fired again a powerfull shock wave.
"This can't hurt me." said Flamedramon and dodged the attack. Just than, he heard a shout.
"Body Attack!" Elecmon tackled him. Flamedramon went back 5 feet or so from the impact of the attack. He was supriesed that a little rookie could make such a impact on him.
"Hey Dean, I have a question." said Hikaru.
"What?" replied Dean.
"Why the heck, from all Tamers, did you choose me for your foe?" asked Hikaru.
"Because I want to make you pay for my lose at the DRA Tournament." said Dean.
"Are you sure that there isn't an another reason?" asked Nanami. Dean blushed.
"Nononon..." He waved with his arms, still red in his face. "Why the heck you would think that?"
"I just wondered." said Nanami, pretending to look innocent. In figuring things out, she was a real master. And it was obvious that Dean had also one more reason for batteling Hikaru.

[Intro Theme Addiction by 55 Escape plays]

"Duskmon!" called Reaper out.
"Yes, my lord." Duskmon appeared out of nowhere, in a flash of red light. He was in the Common Hall of the Castle. Before, there was a table with seven seats, each having a crest on the top. Now they were gone. Instead seven seats there was only one on the top of the Hall. On this seat was a dark figure sitting. His dark eyes glared at Duskmon. That was his new Master, Reaper.

"So, is everything going like planned?" asked Reaper, his black bottomless eyes sparkling in a red light. Duskmon bowed.
"Yes, my Lord. Everything is going smoothly." he said. "The Army is ready and is waiting for your orders."
"Fine. Tell the Bakemon to prepear the Portal. If everything is linked correctly, we will soon step into the Real World." said Reaper.
"As your wish. Anything else?" asked Duskmon. Reaper placed the knuckle of his left hand on his chin, thinking.
"Yes, there is something. Did you find out where that brats Taiki, Sora and Matt are living? We will attack their town first." said Reaper.
"The town is called Digi-City. It's a new town built nearby Tokyo, some time after your...first defead." said Duskmon.
"And what about Tammy?" asked Reaper.
"She lives there as well." said Duskmon. Though being covered in darkness, Reaper was clearly smiling.
"Good. Tell the Army to attack Digi-City soon as they pass the portal. They can cause destruction as much as they want, but tell them to bring me the three DigiDestenied. And Tammy as well." said Reaper. Duskmon bowed again and was about to go as Reaper called for him out one more time.
"Duskmon!"
"Yes, my Lord?" asked Duskmon.
"And please check the DigiEggs of the former Lordies. I wanna be sure that they are properly sealed away." said Reaper.
"Of course." said Duskmon and vanished in a flash of red light. Reaper leaned back, rubbing with his left arm his sickle on his right arm.
"Soon, they will pay. For everything. Especially Tammy." said Reaper in a talk with himself.

DemiDevimon flied right into the Forbidden Area in the Dark Area. He was a bit sceared since he knew that in the Forbidden Area lived many dangerous Digimon who were keeping the place where the Demon Lords and his Master were sealed away. DemiDevimon hopped that he won't meet with the guards. He just wanted to take his Master's DigiEgg and take him to a place where he could get his strangth back to battle Reaper.

"Please make that there aren't any guardians nearby." said DemiDevimon. He was near the Cave where the DigiEggs of the Demon Lords were. He was supriesed that he didn't see any guardian around. He wondered why there aren't any guardians.

"Something is wrong. I'm was sure that there were guardians here." said DemiDevimon. "Or, maybe something happened to them. Maybe, the Demon lords got free and killed them. But why didn't they returned back to the Castle?"

He had no answers on his questions, but he hopped that he would get one soon. He landed on the ground and stood in front of a Cave. The Cave had a latticed entrance and was covered with an energy field to prevent the prisoners to escape. At least DemiDevimon thought so. He frowned in supriesed as he saw that the Seal of the Souveregines was broken. The Seal can't be broken by an attack from the inside. It could only be broken if the attack came from outside. Still with a frown, DemiDevimon asked himself who the heck could come here and break the Seal. He was sure that a Digimon wouldn't do something like that. And a human? But what would humans do here? And why would they break the Seal and release what was inside? And who did it?

Many of those questions floated in the bat's mind with one realisation. The intruder had sure killed the guards. That's why no one attacked DemiDevimon while he was on his way to the Cave. DemiDevimon was relieved about that and thanked his unknown helper who made his job easier. He entered the Cave. The Cave looked like a temple. At the end of the Corridor were seven stands, the middle one on a higher point than the other six. On the stands were DigiEggs. The one on the highest stand was Lucemon's since it had the Crest of Pride on. Lucemon's DigiEgg was black on one side and white on the other. On the left side from Lucemon's were Barbamon's, Leviamon's and Belphemon's DigiEggs. Barbamon's was green with red spots and had the Crest of Greed on the top. Leviamon's was red with a green stripe around the egg and it had the Crest of Envy on the top. Belphemon's was grey with purple spots and it had the Crest of Sloth on the front. DemiDevimon glanced over to the right side and held his breath in surprise. He indeed saw Deamon's Egg, which was red with black marks and the Crest of Wrath on the front.

But that wasn't the thing which surpriesed him. The stands next to Deamon's were empty. Lilithmon's and Beelzemon's DigiEggs were missing.

"Master, where are you?" whispered the schoked DemiDevimon.

There you have, Beelzemon is DemiDevimon's former Master. But there is one ultimate question. What do you think, who is Reaper? Stay tuned for the next episode of Digimon Tamers Street Battles: Tamers vs. Hackers!
