I don't own digimon.
Chapter 10
The End pt 2: Monster
Those who act by emotion are the easiest to master.-Airy, Bravely Default
Tigerra looked down at her pocketwatch. Already, it had ticked down from 3:00:00 to 1:30:30 and was rapidly going down at a fast pace. She placed it in her pocket. She would just have to deal with it.
"How much farther, Tigerra?" Matt shouted, causing Tigerra to turn.
"We're almost there, Matt." She answered as the four of them continued to walk along the yellow sand.
"How long have you've been doing this, Tigerra?"
"A long time, Matt." Matt took a quick glance at her. She was definitely not telling the whole story to him, judging from her refusal to elaborate on any of this.
"Tell me the truth, Tigerra."Matt shouted causing Tigerra to stop. "Who are you really?"
"That's complicated, Matt." Tigerra answered as they continued on. In the distance, the desert stretched on for what seemed like forever."It's a story for a different time."
At that moment, Datamon's Pyramid finally came into view.
"Finally!" Gabumon exclaimed as they ran down the slope.
"Remember, we still have to get there first." Waranamon added as they continued to walk. Matt quickly ran over to Tigerra and attempted to tackle her.
"What is the meaning of this?" Tigerra shouted as she wrestled with Matt.
"You refuse to give me answers, so I'm going to get to the bottom of this." Matt responded, tearing at the cloak that Tigerra wore and knocking his companion over.
"So that is what you want then, fine by me." Matt froze, allowing Tigerra to get up. "Since you're that curious about the truth..."
Tigerra removed her hood, revealing the head of Jun Motomiya.
"Well, I didn't see that coming." Gabumon remarked as Waranamon conked him over the head.
"How does this make any sense, Jun?" Matt accused as Jun laughed.
"Call me Deanna, Matt." Deanna answered as she allowed the cloak to fall off of her. Her usually spiky and short burgundy hair now trailed down to her knees. She wore a dark blue dress with the flame design on Davis's jacket embroidered on the top area. The dress went down to just below her knees, showing off her blue knee-high heel boots. Her long nails were painted dark blue. Carved into her right hand, was the symbol of courage. Carved into her left, was the symbol of friendship. On her neck, was a dark blue collar with a silver tag. On the tag, was a black cat face with purple eyes.
"Why are you wearing that collar? Matt questioned as they continued on.
"It's a constant reminder of Victoria's ownership over me." Deanna answered as the pyramid started to get bigger and bigger.
"What do you mean?"
"She saved me from The Timekeepers."
"Timekeepers?"
"A group of 12 "chosen" that keep an eye on all the paths currently going on."
The Pyramid was less than a mile away now. And yet, each step filling Matt with more fear and dread. Maybe it was the truth about Jun, or who and/or what became of Sora. Or, it could just be his imagination. He just couldn't tell at this point.
"Path?"
"Your adventure is an example of this."
"Huh?"
"A path is an alternate universe that deviates from canon. How much canon changes from universe to universe."
"That isn't really reassuring"
"Get used to it." They approached the entrance to the pyramid."If you're curious, we don't have enough time for a flashback."
"Why would I do that?"
"You seem like that kind of person."
"I could hear you guys anyway." A voice responded, probably ClockworkBiyomon. A tunnel promptly appeared in front of them.
"I guess she wants to meet us." Matt whispered as he stepped forward.
"Matt, wait!" Deanna shouted, almost immediately throwing some kunai into the tunnel.
"So Sora has brought us some new meat? Thank God." A different voice explained as many sets of red eyes appeared down the tunnel.
"Oh crud." Waranamon responded as Deanna pulled out her katanas.
"Indeed." Deanna answered as Waranamon was engulfed in light.
Gabumon warp digivolve too... MetalGarurumon!
Waranamon overdrive digivolve too... Mervamon!
They started their way down the tunnel, making sure not to get eaten by the sources of the red eyes.
"Do you really expect us to just to let you through unharmed?" A voice exclaimed as a metallic snout snapped at them.
"What a stupid question to even ask!" Mervamon announced and smashed the snout with her broadsword.
"And yet it was asked anyway." Deanna added as the four of them ran.
Metal Wolf Claw!
As they walked farther down the tunnel, Matt constantly glanced back at Deanna.
"This is obviously too easy, even for our current situation." Matt thought and noticed the light at the end of the tunnel.
"You're right, Matt." Deanna explained and Mervamon turned towards him.
"What is the meaning of this, Deanna?!"
"Do you want to live forever, like Gabumon, Matt?"
"Not really."
"You would finally get the chance to live a normal life, free from all of this."
"You're working for ClockworkBiyomon, aren't you!"
"ClockworkBiyomon is one of Victoria's allies, even if the two of them don't truly see eye-to-eye on everything."
"In other words, you used me!"
""Used" is such a strong word, Matt. I prefer "led"."
"It's still the same thing!"
"Mervamon, get the two of them ready for ClockworkBiyomon."
Love Poison!
Both Matt and Gabumon gazes immediately focused on Mervamon. Due to that, they failed to notice the poison coming out of Medullia, causing them to fall asleep.
"Well that worked." Deanna explained as she and Mervamon walked away."Now, time to head home." A purple portal appeared in front of them, allowing them through and disappearing away.
"What happened?" Matt thought, groggily opening his eyes. He and Gabumon were no longer in the tunnel. Someone had moved them, over to ClockworkBiyomon.
"Are you ready to transcend from humanity, Matt?" ClockworkBiyomon greeted as Matt watched her.
"Why?!"
"Because unlike the others, I still hold some love for you."
"And this is how you show it?!"
"Yes, also I don't care about your opinions!"
Matt shook his fist at her.
"If you want to defy me, do it."
Gabumon warp digivolve too... MetalGarurumon!
ClockBiyomon only yawned.
"I've seen rookies put up more of a fight than you."
"Doesn't matter, let's fight!"
ClockworkBiyomon dashed forwards, gliding in the air.
Metal Wolf Claw!
Clockwork Twister!
Both attacks launched from their users and eventually met, resulting in a big explosion.
"I think it's time to go, Matt!" MetalGarurumon shouted, only to be pulled towards ClockworkBiyomon.
"Time for you to take the next step, Gabumon!" ClockworkBiyomon exclaimed and bit down upon MetalGarurumon.
"Everything... feels... soooo... weird..." MetalGarurumon whispered as his eyes suddenly closed. Matt ran over to him and ClockworkBiyomon laughed.
"There is no saving him now, Matt." ClockworkBiyomon explained."His transformation has already begun."
MetalGarurumon then dedigivolved back into Gabumon. His fuzzy white fur hardened, becoming cold to the touch. His eyes, free from all emotion they once had. His claws became razor sharp and metallic, getting slightly bigger in size. Gabumon suddenly shot up, growing to the same height as ClockworkBiyomon. ClockworkBiyomon was then surrounded with a bright light. Once it disappear, in her place was "Sora".
"Why did you do that?" Matt accused as "Sora" laughed. She was dressed in the same outfit from their first adventure.
"Because you'll trust me a teensy tiny bit more if I look like this." "Sora" explained as the two of them watched Gabumon. His arms were stretched, becoming much longer with more pronounced paws and claws. Gabumon's feet got a similar treatment. His reddish orange eyes grew slightly pale and his teeth became metallic and razor-sharp. His golden horn dulled to a more metallic and silver color, but look far more sharper.
'Initiating "boot-up" program.'
"Gabumon" immediately sprang up and looked over at "Sora".
"Master, What are your orders for me?" "Gabumon" requested and "Sora" patted his head.
"Matt, meet ClockworkGabumon."
ClockworkGabumon
Rookie, Virus
.
"Sora": Like me, ClockworkGabumon is a clockwork digimon usually found in workshops. But, unlike me, he is far weaker.
"Well that was useless." Matt thought as he watched the two of them.
"Your turn now, Matt!" "Sora" shouted and ran towards him. Matt froze. This was his fate, with nobody caring enough to save him.
"Just get it over with, Sora." Matt whimpered as "Sora" approached.
"So you're ready to take the next step, Matt." "Sora" answered and bit down on his shoulder. Pain surged through his body as he closed his eyes for the last time...
Screams were all one could truly hear in the Odiaba area of Minato. Some mad person was waving a high-powered sniper rifle around and supposedly "exorcising" the demons that lived among the people of the area.
"Well, time to get to work." A woman thought as she teleported in. After making sure all the body parts were still there, she headed towards the shooter. She wore a blue and white striped sleeveless tank top and tan pants. She then slammed her hands together and onto the ground, causing a portal to appear and some woman to pop out. The woman was dressed in a black catsuit with purple robes covering it. Two short bat wing and two long bat wings came out from her back. Her skin was quite pale, with purple eyeliner and matching eyes. Two black tails and two golden tails came out of her cloak. Within her geisha cut, was an elaborate golden headdress. Her feet were adorned with black sandals, showing off her long purple toenails. Her right arm and hand were covered gold while her left was bare and showed off her long purple nails. "What's with the elaborate outfit, Lilithmon?"
Lilithmon
Mega, Virus
.
?: Lilithmon is the Demon Lord of Lust. For some reason, clothes are considered optional most of the time in the Dark Ocean.
"It was one of the rare occasions that I'm not allowed to walk around in my birthday suit." Lilithmon answered as they ran towards their opponent."So why have you summoned me back here to this putrid realm?"
"You're my partner." The woman answered as the two of them ran. "Also, change of scenery."
"So, how are your "children" doing?" Lilithmon questioned as gunshots rang out, not that far from them.
"All right." The woman answered, pulling out some throwing knives. "One of them should be heading down there soon enough."
"Then things are going to get interesting." Lilithmon responded as the shooter noticed them. It was a teenage girl, probably 15 or 16 years old. She was dressed in a red and white striped top with a red and blue polka-dot tie and white sleeves underneath along with a red plaid skirt decorated with small white dots. Long orange hair with some traces of blue flowed down from her head.
"Great. It's one of them." The woman muttered and threw multiple knives at the girl.
"Activate!" The girl shouted, a beam of light surrounding her. Her sniper rifle then turned into a big railgun, for some reason.
"Don't think that's good." Lilithmon commented and the woman looked at her.
"Let's do this." The woman whispered and dashed towards her opponent, knife in hand.
"Interesting... I didn't expect you two to show your faces around here." The girl taunted and fired."But, with all the mess your children have caused, it was sooner or later you would show up."
"You're working for her, aren't you?" The woman accused, a hail of gunfire coming towards them.
"Possibly." The girl explained as the woman slashed her multiple times. "Have you done anything in recent times to piss her off?"
"How would I even know?" The woman added as the girl only laughed.
"The jester has ordered us to excorcise those who defy her." The girl exclaimed and fired off the railgun, full auto. "And you're an obstacle in the path to her goal."
The gunfire of the weapon knocked her back into the tree. The woman got herself back up, forming something in her hands.
"Tell your master, she has made an enemy." The woman declared as the girl laughed. "An enemy willing to take her down!"
"Oh well." The girl taunted. "Your choice."
The woman threw the formed object at her target and watched the arrows impale her.
"Guess we have to wait now." Lilithmon remarked as her master took a deep breath.
