Episode 11: Demon-Dinosaur

Our story in a nutshell: Two kids merge with two Digimon and the mix of Data and DNA creates two whole new creatures. The kids and their partners journey to the Digital World to escape the Real World and meet two more like them. However, now our main character Adam has discovered that he will destroy the world and must come to terms with questions about his own destiny. ________________________________________________________________________

"My name is Jack McGee and just yesterday I was helping my boss and co- workers solve some sort of mystery about a hologram that appeared on our computers." said a medium-sized, red-haired, green-eyed man as he spoke into his tape recorder. "That was the easy part. The hologram consists of a burning Earth at the center of which is my employer's son screaming obscenities at his father as he changes into a skeletal figure. I see it as some sort of premonition, but my employee refuses to believe in the possibilities of fate." "Now as I stare at my computer screen I see codes. Of course, I an expert programmer but this is unprecedented. These codes are so advanced that they could not even exist within the confines of reality. It's like a science fiction movie brought to life right before my eyes. I don't know what to make of them. The most advanced of these codes is some type of incalculable anomaly. It doesn't look as if any of them can exist for very long. They are slowly losing data and will alter into simpler codes in about an hour or so. I will continue to study them though as long as I see humanly possible. And maybe we can get some answers."

"RRROOOAAARRR!" The air vibrated at the sound of Dinomon's roar, almost as if struck by a level 9 earthquake. The creature's muscles flexed and tensed with power that was barely able to be contained by the thick green skin that held them. He stopped and stared at his foes. One was the bird- man Stymphalimon, who looked like a late-night snack. The other Simiamon would be lunch in two seconds, despite being so strong for a rookie. "Spearhead Beak!" cried Stymphalimon as he shot his blade-like beak at the lizard foe. "Aww, shut up." Dinomon slapped the beak away like a fly around his ear. "You tried to kill me. You had me there for a second you know. All the more reason to tear that stupid beak off your face and stuff it down your throat." "AWK!" screamed the creature as he flew at Dinomon. The two went at it for about 3 minutes. Stymphalimon slashed, scratched, and clawed his way through a layer of Dinomon's skin and yet, Dinomon himself appeared unfazed. He punched Stymphalimon in the face and gave him a shot to the gut. "Why you little prick." Dinomon raised his elbow and dropped it right on Stymphalimon's head. "OH! OH! AW! AW! AWWWW!" cried Simiamon. He leapt at Dinomon with all his reflexes. "Primal Scream." Dinomon barely moved an inch. He raised his cement-like fist and smacked Simiamon with one good blow, sending the ape flying through several trees. "Spearhead Beak!" Stymphalimon's sharp beak pierced Dinomon's back and made him yell out in unbearable pain. The bird-man took to the sky, grabbed Dinomon by the shoulders and flew him straight into a tree. "Wingspan." His bladed feather flew off and struck their down opponent. "No apocalypse for you." He flew down and approached the downed hero. Dinomon raised a single hand and grabbed the bird by the throat. "Nothing personal. I just want to live," said Dinomon. He gave Stymphalimon his best gut shot, hit him once in the face and then spun around and kicked him. He raised his hands and began to summon water molecules into them. The molecules formed a large bubble like energy sphere. "Aqua Bomb!" He tossed the weapon and Stymphalimon, and watched with glee as the screaming bird-man began to dissipate into data particles.

In a black and green room, flashing 1's and 0's composed the walls and a 16-year-old boy sat next to the bed of his sickly 9-year-old sister. "Cocoonmon's telepathy has shown me their fate. Malcolm, Jason has gone back to the other side." "He's gone from here? What about Ravenmon?" "Gone." He stood up, walked over to the wall and slid his fingers through his greased down black hair. "It's begun them. I'll kill him."

Siberimon, Teddymon, and Howlmon walked up to Dinomon. "Adam, is that you?" said Howlmon. "I'm not Adam." "What about Reptilemon?" said Siberimon. "I am not Adam. I am not Reptilemon. I am both. I am neither." He raised his gaze towards the sky and cried out "I AM DINOMON!" The trio held their ears at the magnificent roar. "Adam chill out with the screaming." said Howlmon. "Adam Fujikawa is dead. Reptilemon is dead." "No," said Teddymon, "You are Adam Fujikawa and Reptilemon. You are the great destroyer." "I am not a destroyer." "I hate to say it... "YOU ARE A LIAR." He shoved his face towards Teddymon. "I don't like liars. And you're looking kinda tasty right now." "Gulp." Teddymon began to quiver. "That's enough Adam?" said Siberimon. "Everyone De-Digivolve now. We have had enough excitement for one day." The light appeared from each of their bodies and soon the gang began to De- Digivolve only to find Dinomon still where he stood. No Adam. No Reptilemon. "Adam, what is wrong with you?" said Terry. "I'm not going back." "What?" said Jeff. "Reptilemon is dead. Adam is dead. I am Dinomon. I'M NOT GOING BACK EVER AGAIN." "Adam control yourself" said Terry as she put an arm on his. "NEVER!" he flung her a few good feet with one swipe and ran through the rest of the team, swinging them out of the way. "NNNEEEVVVEEERRR!" his voice trailed off.

In his secluded cabin in the woods, the man known only as Dark_Lord sat in his offices, staring at his computer screen. "So Lord_Digital's cronies failed. Well, I always said he had more use than brains. I think cannon fodder suited him just well. Now it is time to really get serious. Pyre, your old friend, Agumon is waiting for you." "Yes master."

Dinomon trailed through the woods, plowing through the trees like they were nothing. "I'm not going back." "DINOMON!" his friends called after him. "I'm not going back." "DINOMON!" "I'M NOT GOING BACK!" A light flew from his body and began to grow. When it was gone, 14-year- old Adam Fujikawa curled into a ball, his friend Reptilemon cradled in his arms. "I'm not going back." he said as the tears began to flow from his eyes. "Adam." said Terry. "Adam," said Jeff, "I know it's been rough but please. We can't keep fooling around like this. "He's not going back." said Reptilemon. "WHAT?" the gang said in unison. "You heard me. We're not going back. While I was in there, I began to understand something. Adam and I hated each other but we have had our differences solved. It is a paradox that two people who hate each other are 100% the same. We're not going back, until we get some answers." "No you can't do that." said Dill. "We can. And we will." Adam crept slowly towards the cliff that was positioned ahead of him. "Adam don't you dare do it." said Jeff. Adam turned towards his new friend. "You can lead them without me." "I'm warning you Adam! Don't you dare do it." Unfazed Adam jumped off the cliff.

In the old King James Hotels, which had been trashed and unused for years, a 15 year-old African American wakes up to find his four friends still lying on the floor sleep, still in "The Other World". He walks over to the still-active laptop on the table and looks at the screen. A black bird appears, wounded and barely breathing. He inserts a disk from his pocket and clicks save. The bird flies into the disk's only file and awaits for his next day of usage. The boy removes the disk and says "Ravenmon, my friend. We will have our time in the sun again." He stares around. Afterwards, the boy, who is now known as Jason Matthews says, "Been a long time. So this is what the real world looks like." and steps outside to rejoin humanity.
