DAY 7 PART 2

"C'mon, let's hurry!" Gabumon said as they ran into the TV station. They ended up in a fork in the corridor; Terriermon and Lopmon were no where to be found.

"Which way do we go?" Palmon said looking from left to right.

"Um...Let's go left." Gabumon suggested. Palmon nodded and they took the left path. They followed it until they got to some stairs.

"Noise wall." Gabumon said seeing the floating Noise symbol above the stairs. It flashed and two Garage Wolves and three Decaravens appeared.

"Let's make this quick." Palmon said before lashing her vines at the Noise. Gabumon followed up with his own attack and all of the Noise were defeated.

They were able to go up the stairs but another Noise wall awaited them at another stair case. Apparent;y, every stair case in the building was rigged with a noise wall. Finally after fighting through several Noise walls, Gabumon and Palmon found a door that seemed to lead outside. They braced themselves and opened it.

They found themselves on a long walkway walkway outside of the main building. They looked down and saw that a fall from this height would surely be the end of them. They looked around and found no sign of Terriermon or Lopmon. Instead, they found a tall dark figure with black tattoo wings at the end of the walkway.

"You think that's Billy?" Gabumon whispered to Palmon.

"Maybe." Palmon replied. "He's not looking so maybe we could sneak up on him."

Gabumon nodded and slowly, they began to creep towards Billy. After several tense moments, they were pretty close to the Game Master. Palmon slowly took out a pin and readied herself.

"Flower Cannon."

She whispered so Billy wouldn't notice. As the blast of green energy got closer and closer to Billy's head, he tilted it to the side and Palmon's attack went right past his head, much to their surprise.

"Sneak attack? Pfft. Nice try." Billy Bubson said as he turned and faced them. Gabumon and Palmon went into a fighting stance. "Wow, this is swell. You're the last two Digimon I killed and now," He gave a big smile. "You'll be the first ones I erase!"

"Yeah, like that'll happen." Gabumon said. "What're you going to do? Send some Noise at us?"

"As if." Billy replied peering at them from under his sunglasses. "I'll erase you two with my own two hands."

"But what does a human like you stand against Digimon like us?" Palmon asked surprised by Billy's confidence.

Instead of replying, Billy began to laugh as if he heard a really funny joke. After several moments, he stopped and said:

"Do you even know what DL stands for?"

Gabumon looked at Palmon, a confused look on both of their faces. They never actually wondered what those two letters meant.

"Well I'll tell you." Billy continued. "Ya see, DL stands for-"

He slowly raised his hand to his face and took off his sunglasses. He folded them and dropped them at his side. Gabumon caught a glimpse of his light beige hair and red eyes before he said:

"Demon Lord."

His body arced forward and became surrounded in a red aura. In the aura, his body was only visible as a black shape but that shape began to change. His finger nails grew to a point where they now resembled claws and long tail sprouted from his back.

When it was over, the Aura vanished and Gabumon and Palmon saw just how he had changed. Aside from the third eye, claws, tail, and the mask that covered the upper half of his face, he looked pretty much the same; he still wore the same jacket, pants and boots.

"Behold, this is my true form; Demon Lord of Gluttony, Beelzemon!"

Before Gabumon or Palmon could react, he struck out his hand and a Noise symbol appeared. "Now, watch this little trick we learned.

He flick his wrist and the Noise symbol got closer to him until it reached his chest. It planted itself onto his chest and his body shone with red light. His body suddenly sent out a burst of red light which caused Gabumon and Palmon to shield their eyes.

When they uncovered them, they saw a major change in his appearance. The Noise symbol was still on his chest but there were also tattoos along his body forming intricate designs along his arms and legs. There were three lines along his face passing through each of his eyes but what was really prominent was the large black tattoo wings on his back.

"Now THIS is my ultimate form: Beelzemon Noise Mode!"

"Double Impact!"

Taking out his two guns, he fired several shots shots at his opponents. Gabumon and Palmon had to dodge quickly to avoid his bullets.

"That's right, dance!" Beelzemon happily cried out as he fired more shots. "There's nowhere for you to hide!"

"Metal Wolf Claw!"

Gabumon was able to get an attack in while dodging Beelzemon's bullets but the latter smirked and flew upwards and completely avoided the attack. From the air, Beelzemon looked down at his opponents and smirked satisfyingly at them.

"Come back down here!" Gabumon yelled at him while Palmon fired a Flower Cannon.

"No way; I like it up here, make it easier to shoot you guys!" Beelzemon yelled back after dodging Palmon's attack. "And ya can't hit me from up here, can't ya!"

"He's right." Palmon said. She remembered the last time they fought a flying opponent and how hard it was. She told Gabumon about and idea involving luring Beelzemon down close to them so they could attack.

"No. He's smart not like that Noise." Gabumon said.

"Metal Wolf Claw!"

"Keep firing all ya want but ya won't be able to hit me!" Beelzemon said flying sideways to avoid Gabumon's attack.

"Let's trying attacking together!" Palmon suggested and they both began to fire their attacks rapidly at their flying opponent. But he continued to dodge them easily.

"Double Impact!"

"Metal Wolf Claw!"

An interesting thing happened when those two attacks met. When Beelzemon's bullets were engulfed in Gabumon's icy flames, they were completely frozen and shattered to pieces before they hit their targets.

"N...No way!" Beelzemon yelled angrily as he fired more bullets at Gabumon. Gabumon fired another Metal Wolf Claw and froze Beelzemon's bullets again.

"It's working." said Palmon. She looked up at Beelzemon. "How d'you like that!"

"Tch. I'll admit that was pretty good." said Beelzemon. "But I know just how to counter that."

"What? How?" Gabumon asked.

"Like this: Putrid Sludge Burst!"

Beelzemon opened his mouth and what looked like thick, dark green sludge shot out of it. The sludge hit a spot between Gabumon and Palmon and they got a good look at it. It was very thick and the color made them sick but what was worse was the smell. The second they inhaled its scent, they began to gag and choke and they felt like they were going to vomit any minute now.

"Double Impact!"

Gabumon readied a Metal Wolf Claw to counter it but the moment he inhaled before doing the attack, he caught another whiff of the disgusting sludge. He began to gag again stooping him from countering Beelzemon's attack. Palmon had to coil her vines around Gabumon and pull him out of the way of Beelzemon's bullets.

"You alright?" Palmon asked breathing through her mouth. It helped a little but she could still smell the stench.

"Y-yeah. I can't inhale to counter Beelzemon's bullet without gagging." Gabumon replied.

" 'Bout time ya figured it out!" Beelzemon yelled at them from above. "Now I don't have to worry about your little counters."

"The real fight," Beelzemon pointed his guns at Gabumon and Palmon. "BEGINS NOW!"
