Chapter 10

Capital Crisis, Part 4

Enter Demondramon

DARK BIO-MERGE DIGIVOLUTION

The digivolution sphere went into the air and the transformation was completed there. An enormous dragon digimon that would have put even Azulongmon to shame appeared. The wingspan of this creature spanned two miles long. It was large with three heads. Each head was as dangerous as the next. Rows of sharp teeth neatly decorated the jaws. Red and black scales adorned this monster. The large horns on each head were stained red with blood. It seemed that even the heavens and the earth were afraid of this digimon. The sky darkened even more and lightning began to fire off more rapidly. Winds blew hard which required Renamon to matrix-digivolve into Taomon once again and place her shield around the humans and their digimon. An earthquake which measured beyond the Richter scale began to occur around the city.

Taomon lifted the group off the ground and into the air. Now, it was Victor that was afraid.

"How did this happen?" He asked with fear lacing his voice.

"Haven't you realized?" Jessica asked him. "It's because of you."

"What?" Victor asked startled.

"I don't suppose you would know because you moved to Eldon in your freshman year of high school. Brian was always the one person that everyone picked on. Even when other people could have been, everyone always picked on him. I guess all my psychiatrists were right. You can't bottle up your anger before it erupts," Jessica said. "Apparently with Brian, his anger erupted big time."

"So basically he hulked out," Levi said.

"Yeah so to speak," Jessica said.

In the distance, they watched as the Washington Monument toppled to the ground. The white stone smashed into the ground and shattered. The dragon digimon roared with a fury that was unmatched. His roar penetrated the earth and molten lava began to pour out onto the streets of the nation's capital. Victor's D-Ark came up with the data on this creature.

"Demondramon. Unholy Dragon Virus Type digimon. Mega Level. Special Attacks are Unholy Fire, Dragon Spear and Demon Flame." Victor said with a look of horror on his face. "Ebidramon, I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Ebidramon said. "But the real danger is Demondramon. How could this have happened?"

"It's when Heather and Numemon were killed," Victor said. That's when Brian tried to calm me down. Then, I hit him. After that, I kicked you. Then, Brian became that."

Omnimon turned and lifted the Transcendent Sword towards Demondramon. The sword was quivering. Before Omnimon could strike, Demondramon struck first. The razor sharp tail struck the armour of the digimon and slowly, Omnimon began to break apart into data particles. Victor saw a red beam shoot out and disappear but he didn't place much stock in it. Like an animal eating his kill, Demondramon hungrily absorbed Omnimon's data, Demondramon roared again. The flames rapidly reached the White House and it went ablaze.

"Damn it!" Prophetmon yelled.

"What?" Mimicmon asked.

"You had to do that move," Prophetmon said.

An owl digimon and a rather nondescript digimon were playing chess. The pieces looked rather familiar.

"It worked didn't it?" Mimicmon said.

"Yeah but now I must go and correct your mistake," Prophetmon said disappearing.

Highmiramon reformed inside his palace. His servants came, barely believing the sight they saw before them. Their lord was badly beaten. Cuts ran the length of his body and they could see blood trickling out each one of the wounds. He collapsed on the floor as Lady Devimon rushed to his aid.

"My lord, we will take care of you. Leave it to me," she said.

Demondramon roared again and the Tamers were scared. How could they stop this digimon without killing their friends or getting killed in the process? Then, out of the ether, or rather, out of the Digital World, an owl flew in and began to attack Demondramon. Jessica looked at her D-Ark.

"Prophetmon. Good Owl Vaccine Type Digimon..." Jessica said not believing what was after that part.

"Well spit it out," Alicia told her because her D-Ark wasn't getting the data.

"This can't be right!" Jessica exclaimed. "I think my D-Ark's broken because it says that this digimon is Ultra Level."

"WHAT!" They yelled in unison.

"How can there be an Ultra Level digimon running around?" Victor asked. "I thought Mega was as high as you could go."

"Apparently not," Ebidramon said.

"PROPHET PULSE!"

Prophetmon attacked the dragon but again was beaten back. The battle continued for what seemed like hours with only one side tiring in this ferocious contest. Prophetmon fell to the ground once again and in a flash, they were gone

"Hello I'm Mimicmon. Prophetmon's friend," a rather bland appearing digimon said.

The Tamers found themselves in what appeared to be a Southern Plantation that seemed like it had just came out of the Civil War.

"What do you want?" Jessica asked breaking the ice.

"Merely to give you Prophetmon's offer and a little bit of information. The information to start off," Mimicmon said gesturing for them to take seats. The Tamers saw they didn't really have much choice in the matter did. He continued. "You see, Prophetmon and I play chess and our games typically mimic what goes on in the real and digital worlds. However, we didn't really expect Demondramon to be a factor."

"What do you know about him?" Victor asked.

"Quite a lot. You see, Brian, just like the other four, suffers what some may consider the curse of being a goggle-head. He is, therefore, most likely to dark-digivolve his digimon than any of you. In fact, even if he hadn't accepted the truth. I believe Demondramon would have still shown up," Mimicmon said gesturing to a screen that was showing Brian's past.

"Brian's true father wasn't exactly Father of the Year material. He did drugs and even

was sent to prison multiple times for it. Not only that, people have a tendency to pick

on him, and his mother had taught him not to lash out in anger towards people. So instead was forced to bottle up his fury. When you punched Brian, Victor, and then kicked your own partner, that's when you let the proverbial genie out of the bottle.

Demondramon is one of two mega forms Brian and Tinymon may assume. However,

Demondramon gets more powerful every time he comes into being. The only way to free Brian and Tinymon is to cause them enough damage to force Demondramon to

dedigivolve. This is when Prophetmon's offer comes into play. Demondramon is on the verge of killing Prophetmon and absorbing his data. However, Prophetmon may be able to utilize his data, revert to an egg and allow you to bio-merge, just once, into your mega forms. Meaning, you'll have to defeat your friend. Will you do it?"

Mimicmon looked at each of the Tamers and each one of them nodded their heads.

"Good. Now he only has enough energy for four of you so...Victor, Jessica, Alicia, and Levi, you'll get to bio-merge." Mimicmon said. "Enjoy."

The Tamers returned to the real world to find Prophetmon was glowing and their D-Arks began to glow as well. Victor looked at his partner and then at the rest of his team. He pointed his D-Ark at the sky.

(Well, I never thought I'd be getting to do this so soon but I wish my fierce adversary wasn't my best friend. Victor thought. Then again, life never deals you the right cards. You just got to play them. I'm sorry for what I did to you Brian, and I hope that if this works you can forgive me. It was the same when my mother died. Me and him went fishing a lot and did a lot of cool things together. My brother, Brett, never came so it was always me and him. When he died, Brett tried to comfort me but I did the same thing to him what I did to you. I hope I can set things right.)

BIO-MERGE DIGIVOLUTION

"BIO-MERGE ACTIVATE!" He yelled.

"Ebidramon bio-merge to…Trinoamon!"

Trinoamon stood about the same height as Sakuyamon would. He looked rather odd as he was a ninja lobster. Think Ninja Gaiden, but as a lobster. Both lobster claws held ninja stars as a katana was hung on his back.

(It was only natural that Brian would have dark digivolved. Jessica thought. But still, I wish he hadn't. Heather's death was a shock to us all and it hit Victor most of all. I guess he really cared for her. Now I know what I must do. Demondramon has gotta go. Renamon! Let's kick some ass!)

BIO-MERGE DIGIVOLUTION

"BIO-MERGE ACTIVATE!" Jessica yelled.

"Renamon bio-merge to…Sakuyamon!"

(Why am I even here? Alicia asked herself. I could have gotten on a jet with Etemon when I had the chance and been back in London for a cup of Earl Grey. I guess it's my duty to the Queen to show these Americans how the British fight. Etemon, let's do it!)

BIO-MERGE DIGIVOLUTION

"BIO-MERGE ACTIVATE!" Alicia yelled.

"Etemon bio-merge to…Mega Etemon!"

Mega Etemon was a cyborg monkey. His tail seemed to be electrified and he seemed bulky enough to have hidden compartments that probably had hidden weapons. He was a metallic colour, like Metal Etemon.

(I never watched the cartoons. Never played the card games. Hell, when my cousin was watching his cartoons. I was in my room playing Vice City. Levi thought. That doesn't mean I'm not a quick learner. Let's see what we can do.)

BIO-MERGE DIGIVOLUTION

"BIO-MERGE ACTIVATE!" Levi yelled.

"DemiDevimon bio-merge to…AngeMyotismon!"

AngeMyotismon looked like an angel version of the vampire. He was white with large white feather wings.

Christy looked at her D-Ark as the information came up.

"Trinoamon. Ninja Lobster Vaccine type digimon. Mega Level. Special Attacks are Lobster Katana and Lobster Stars," she said.

Trinoamon leapt into the air as Prophetmon returned to his realm.

"Brian, if I have to beat the shit out of you to bring you back, then so be it! Lobster Stars!" Trinoamon attacked.

The stars exploded and Demondramon roared again. Demondramon took to the air and seemed to have the advantage.

"Sakuyamon. Shaman data type digimon. Mega Level. Special attacks are Sprit Strike, Amethyst Wind, Amethyst Mandela, and Crystal Sphere." Christy read. "Mega Etemon. Cyborg Monkey Virus Type digimon. Mega Level. Special attacks are Monkey Mallet, Banana Barrage, Banana Buster and Monkey Mauler."

Mega Etemon, with a clear grin on his face, took to the air after Demondramon. He rose in the air pretty fast.

"MONKEY SEE! MONKEY KILL!" Mega Etemon yelled at the dramon. "MONKEY MAULER!"

Mega Etemon gave a mighty punch to the dragon digimon which sent it to the ground. The compartments opened up to reveal barrels.

"BANANA BARRAGE!" (Think MegaGargomon's Mega Barrage only with Bananas.)

"AngeMyotismon. Redeemed Soul Vaccine Type Digimon. Mega Level. Special Attacks are Redeemer Blade, Soul Cannon and Devil Destroyer." Christy said.

Suddenly Victor had a plan. He looked up at the glowing AngeMyotismon.

"AngeMyotismon, send all of your energy into one attack. I'll do the same!" Victor yelled.

Trinoamon began to feel his Lobster Katana glow as he ran towards Demondramon who was currently trying to fend off Sakuyamon and Mega Etemon. AngeMyotismon rained down on him.

"REDEEMER BLADE!"

"LOBSTER KATANA!"

A violent explosion occurred which forced them out of their mega forms. When the brilliant light died down, Demondramon was no more. Brian and Tinymon lay in his place and Victor found the barrel of an M-16 pointed about six inches away from him. He felt a prick in his neck and he fell asleep.
