Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon
Author's Note: For the awesome people who are following this story, sorry I didn't update sooner. I had the idea of this chapter down, but for some reason I just have a hard time writing it out. I'm guessing I had one of the off week, or if I'm feeling a bit burn out which doesn't make sense since I don't work that hard... but depression can strike when you least expect it I guess.
I'm not sure this story is simply too silly for most people with all the Defenders running around using their cartoony gadget that'll make Batman rise his eyebrow since I don't get much feedback on their presence in the story. But the Spiral Conversion and Live Program does serve a story telling purpose instead of simply being here to make it look cool (ok, that's also a reason). But yeah, the battle with Icedevimon continues and I hope all of you can enjoy this chapter.
Takato is being dragged by Juri as she runs along the broken pavement. His head still feels a bit numb. After all, he just witnesses one of the supposed 'greatest' heroes in DDD massacring a group of innocent Digimon in complete cold blood. To make matters worse, after a little conversation with said person he realize he needs to also do this for a living if he still wants to keep Guilmon as his friend.
Well… he can run away like Daisuke suggests. But leaving his family, what few friends he still has left behind and scavenge for a living doesn't sounds too appealing.
He mentally kicks himself for what a fine mess he manages to get himself into.
"Wow… no way." Juri's voice brings Takato back into reality. He takes peek in the horizon and immediately shares Juri's sentiment. Daisuke and Masaru are laying the smack down on a white humanoid Digimon with tattered wings and long arm. Being a Digimon groupie, Takato recognize their opponent is an Icedevimon.
Fallen angel type is usually very strong, but right now two human is beating the stuff out of him like two senior school bullies beating the lunch money out of a freshman. Their team leader Daisuke is in what look like a blue coloured metal plate armour like something from a Sci-fi genre video with a pair of gigantic gauntlet on his forearms. As for Masaru… he's just pummelling Icedevimon like a rag doll with nothing but his bare fist.
Daisuke throws a hook with his right fist and nails Icedevimon on his face. The fallen angel of ice gets knocked straight into Masaru's coming fist from his right. He staggers a little, and gets a double uppercut on his jaw from both Daisuke and Masaru. Icedevimon flies a good ten meters into the sky before diving into the snow field head first.
Takato can't help but feels sympathetic toward the Digimon. On the other hand, he is glad the situation seems to be completely under control.
Takato feels relived when Icedevimon takes to the sky, thinking the wild Digimon learns his lessen and decided to run away to avoid further bloodshed. But to his surprise and confusion, instead of flying further away from the safe zone he flies over the battle field where his minions are fighting with the Digimons of Defenders.
"What is he doing Juri? Do you think he's trying to take his friends away?" Takato looks at Juri, trying to see if his good friends have a better understanding of the situation than he does.
"I don't know… this fight looks so much different from all those card games and…" Juri replies in the same confusion as Takato, before she can give a full answer they both see Icedevimon scoop up a handful of what appears to be humanoid bear shaped ice blocks.
Takato and Juri's confusion turns into sheer horror as Icedevimon crushes the handful of Icemon in his palm and absorbs their data. All the burns and bruises on the fallen angel's body fade away. In addition its already long arms start to grow longer and more massive to the point it looks like a pair of tree trunks hanging out of his body like a pair of gigantic clubs rather than a pair of arms.
Takato doesn't need anyone else to tell him this is not a good sign. Besides him, Guilmon's pupils slide into a line like a reptile predator.
"Takato, this Digimon is dangerous." Guilmon hisses with a low pitched growl unlike his normal happy child like voice. Takato looks at Guilmon with surprise and a little anxiousness in his eyes.
"Did that Icedevimon… just killed his own friends to heal himself?" Juri asks to no one in particular.
"Someone like him has no friends, only servants." Leomon's normal stoic is filled with distain as he inspects the grotesque form Icedevimon takes. "He took the data of all the snow land based Digimon in his own army to heal and power himself up. But even if their data is similar due to being snow land Digimon, the difference and a sudden increase in his data still causes mutation to his core. Take cover little ones, this is getting too dangerous."
Leomon pulls out his sword and takes a fighting stance. Guilmon follows his example and brandish both of his claws.
"Maybe the others can over power him…?" Takato asks to no one in particular. In the distance Geogreymon let out a roar as he releases a stream of flame from his mouth towards Icedevimon. The fallen angel of ice throws one of his arms forward, and the flame stream turns blue and seemingly frozen solid before everyone's eyes. "…Or not?"
Daisuke fires up his back mounting booster and rush at Icedevimon's blind side with Flamedramon as he is busy dealing with Geogreymon. Before he could land a solid hit with his mecha fist his field of vision turns completely white in a blink of eyes.
"Damn!" Daisuke brings both his fist together in front of his face and chest like a make shift shield. He is send flying away with a loud crack sound and crashes into a building without a chance to steady himself. He tries to stand up but almost face plant into the floor when his arms wouldn't move. The half dazed Master Class looks down to his fists and realize they are encased in ice. "Damn."
Flamedramon has better luck than his human partner as he is knocked directly into Veedramon whose body cushioned his fall. Although like his human partner he is also half covered in ice.
In the distance Geogreymon falls into the snow with a loud thud as his whole head is frozen into an ice block.
"All you Rookies get back…!" Hirokazu shouts at the top of his lung as his partner Guardromon fires missile after missile at Icedevimon to distract Icedevimon from attacking the more inexperienced defenders. The missile seems to have no effect other than shaving off a thin layer of frost off Icedevimon's body.
Hirokazu quickly slide a speed boost into his D25 as Icedevimon brings one of his arms clapping down at Guardromon. The sudden increase in speed allows the robot Digimon to barely side step away from Icedevimon's arm hammer. Behind him, Masaru quickly runs besides his fallen Digimon partner and start to punch the ice with his fist trying to crack it open.
Icedevimon brings both of his arms up and huge chunk of ice start to form around him. He brings his arms down and boulder sized ice start to fly in every direction.
"Hit the deck!" Hirokazu shouts at the top of his lungs as he jumps and rolls to the inside of a half collapsed building. Hirokazu brings both of his arms in front of him to cover his face from the blizzard of broken cement as the wall gives away. He coughs and rolls up to his feet and feels relived to finds himself free from any injure.
I been in a number of bad situations, but that was too close for comfort…
The supervisor's train of though is cut short as he hears scream from both Sistermon and Kaede. He runs out of the building and sees both Yosuke and Masaru is half buried in a smaller boulder of ice. No doubt Yosuke tries to protect the more reckless Patroller Class with his shield but gets over powered by the size of that thing.
Kaede is fine since she's still too far away from the battle field. But following her line of sight Hirokazu sees an iceberg sitting in the place where Rin used to be before. Even if Hirokazu doesn't see it with his eyes, he can still guess what happened to his teammate.
"YOU BASTARD!" Hirokazu screams as he slides a Meramon card into his D25. Guardromon's missiles start to explode with fire on Icedevimon's body but don't appear to have better effect. As Icedevimon is busy dealing with Guardromon, Hirokazu runs towards Yosuke and Masaru as he tries to push the chunk of ice away from his comrades.
With a loud roar, Geogreymon manages to shatter the ice around his head. He shakes his massive head and crawls back to his feet. He grabs the chunk of ice on top of his partner and throws it back toward Icedevimon. A fire ball and a V shaped beam explode on Icedevimon's head as he swats away the ice chunk.
"Come on guys! We need to attack him together!" Daisuke runs back into the battle field with his two dragons at his side.
"Flame Fist!" "V Breath Arrow!" "Mega Burst!" "Grenade Destroyer!" "Bless Fire!" "Volcanic Strike!" "Pummel Peck!" Icedevimon smirks at the barrage of attacks firing toward his way. He clap both of his massive hand together and a thick glacier of wall forms in front of him.
Everyone can only hear a series of loud explosion and see thick cloud of smoke at the point of impact. As the smoke start to clear, everyone sees the glacier wall still standing and Icedevimon is completely unharmed from all their effort.
"For once I wish that tactic could actually work unlike all the animations told me otherwise…" Daisuke let out a sigh of disappointment as he brings both his mecha fist in front of him in a fighting stance. Besides him both Masaru and Yosuke also manage to get on their feet.
Juri can hardly believe what is happening in front of her eyes. When she first arrives on the scene the battle is going well. Daisuke and Masaru are giving Icedevimon the most embarrassing beat down of his life. The rest of the Defenders manage to take down most of Icedevimon's army with their superior skill and Geogreymon's help. But with Icedevimon absorbing the data of all his army, the table is quickly turned against the Defenders and right now they can't seem to even harm the juggernaut made of ice.
Wait… all his attacks are ice based. Which means… it'll be worth a shot.
"All of you find cover, I need to help them." Leomon breaks Juri's thought as he's about to leap into the battle field.
"Wait a minute! I have a plan!" Juri stops her partner as she quickly raises her hand and grabs Leomon's arm. Leomon raises one of his eye brows, but choose to honour his partner's request.
"Are you going to do something dangerous Juri?" Takato quickly turns towards his good friend and place his hand on her arm.
"We are Defenders now; every day will be dangerous afterwards." Juri let out a soft chuckle as she turns more serious as she looks at Takato in the eyes. "I have a plan to defeat Icedevimon… if it works. But in case it's not enough to finish him off… you and Guilmon will need to deal the finish blow. I know you and Guilmon can do it! Let's go Leomon!"
Takato seems to want to say something, but before he can say it out loud Juri start to sprint toward the battle with Leomon.
"I have a plan to take down Icedevimon, but it'll take a few minutes to execute. Can you buy me some time Leomon?" Juri takes out her deck of Bits Card Daisuke gives to her before them leaves the main safe zone and takes out a Power Boost Level 5.
"Consider it done." Leomon jumps into the air as Juri slot in the booster card. Strand of white data surround his arm as he fires up his 'Fist of Beast King' attack. The lion shaped energy ball hit Icedevimon right on the back of his head and makes him flinch for a few seconds. Even though the attack doesn't seem to do much damage, it successfully draws his attention to Leomon instead of Juri who runs towards the other Defenders.
"What are you doing here Juri? I told you to hide with Takato. This is not a fight for inexperienced rookie." Daisuke asks with disapproval in his voice as he notices Juri.
"I know you are much more experienced than me great leader, but I have a plan to defeat this guy." Juri points toward Icedevimon with confidence in her voice. "Geogreymon, Flamedramon and Veedramon all has naturally heat based attack right? The three of you need to attack his defence together."
"What do you think we been doing till now?" Masaru rolls his eyes as his partner Geogreymon snorts.
"Not like how you are doing. The three of you need to charge up your attack to maximum power and do it together." Juri points to Icedevimon again as he is busy dealing with Leomon who simply runs in and out of the ruin as cover and fire at Icedevimon occasionally. "Trust me, something fantastic will happen."
"Worth a shot. You guys up for one last power boost?" Daisuke lets out a shrug as he turns to regard Flamedramon and Veedramon who both look tired at this point.
"Cross stream tiny?" Veedramon gives a fist knock on Flamedramon's head.
"Cross stream, muscle head." Flamedramon swats Veedramon's fist away as he turns towards Daisuke. "Let's do this Daisuke."
"All right, last Power Boost Level 5 for the day; put on a good show, boys!" Daisuke takes out his cards and gives his two dragons a boost to return their next attack back to full power. Flamedramon start to gather his Flame Fist attack in both claws and Veedramon opens his mouth to charge up his V Breath Arrow.
"Pfft… real man don't use playing card to fight his battle. Come on Geogreymon! You have my soul flowing in your body! Let's show this clown of ice what we are made of!" Masaru spits on the ground as he cheers for Geogreymon.
"Yes Aniki!" Geogreymon gives Masaru a nod as he opens up his mouth to charge up a fire ball. But before the three of them can finish power up their respective attack Icedevimon manages to finally knock Leomon away.
"My team will buy you three some time, let's go!" Hirokazu calls out to his teammate as the four Digimon charges forward to attack Icedevimon. Who finally realizes the defenders are up to something.
Monochromon charges at Icedevimon wanting to avenge his human partner, but Icedevimon simply pushes him right into the ground with one of his claw. He lets out another hail of ice boulders against the other three Digimons. Guardromon and Sistermon who are both too exhausted from their previous fight gets buried in the avalanche of ice and snow and Kiwimon manages to jump over it. But Kiwimon gets knocked right into a Dark Spire when Icedevimon swings his arm around like a golf club.
As Icedevimon's golf club swing leaves himself wide open, Daisuke fires up his booster and lands right on top of Icedevimon's shoulder. He brings his right fist on the fallen angels head, and then his left fist as his right fist start to freeze up. "Why don't you… STAY DOWN!"
With a loud roar, he rises both his frozen mecha fist and brings them both down together on Icedevimon's forehead knocking them both tumbling toward the ground. They both crash on the snowfield in the middle of the street. Masaru rushes in and deliver another punch to Icedevimon's face as Daisuke struggles to get up with all the ice adding weight to his mecha fist.
"You two get away!" Juri takes a look at the fireball gathering in Flamedramon's claws and immediately block her eyes with her hands. The white sphere is so bright it looks like a small sun is shining in front of Flamedramon.
"You heard the lady." Daisuke let out a chuckle as he fires his back mounting booster again. While it's not enough to take him up to the sky, the added speed allows him to tackle Masaru back just as Icedevimon's arm tries to grab the angry Patroller Class.
"You are fired, popsicle!" Flamedramon roars through his teeth as he releases his fully powered up Flame Fist attack. Geogreymon shoots his Mega Burst at same time and both balls of fire seem to blend into one single ball of destructive energy and heat. Veedramon's V Breath Arrow follows right after, shooting into center of the fireball and makes it look like an arrow of flame.
"This won't work!" Icedevimon sneers as he brings both arms forward and forms his ice wall. The flame arrow crashes into the ice wall and for a split second the explosion is so brilliant night seems to turn into day.
===DDD – Log===
Equipment – Omnicloak
The signature grey cloak wore by all Defender Master Class. It is extremely hard to make which limits the number of Master Class DDD could promote every year. Due to this reason, all aspiring Patroller Classes need to apply for a promotion test and compete with each other if they hope to become a Master Class.
The Omnicloak provide even more protection against Digimon attack than the standard issue suit. In addition, it is able to generate a stealth field, enter a data 'phase' mode to not restrict a Master Classes movement in melee combat, or become dense to serve as a glider.
But the most important feature of Omnicloak and what set a Master Class Defender apart from the rest (other than Master Class may command up to thirty Digimon) is the ability to enter its battle mode. All Master Class can write their own combat program for their Omnicloak to allow them fight on par with a Champion level digimon, and charge Bits into their cloak to enter said battle mode.
