Tamers: Guardian of The hazard [chapter 09 [Part 2]: Nazar Nail]

Digital world: Dark area: Outside the citadel


Lillithmon was on the run, Mega she may be, but her powers were not suited for brute force battles. Twisting in the air the devil woman barely missed another radiation blade aimed to cut her in two. The arrogant hazard child had leapt from his digimon`s head and punched her in the face, while causing no physical damage baring a split lip the strike to her person just pissed her off.

"Phantom pain!" the boy was struck with a small cloud of the shadowy smoke. He hit the ground hard and curled into a fetal position, grunting in pain but still sending her a defiant look. Lillithmon dodged another of WarGrowlmon's attacks as she came down on Takato for the kill.

She drew back her clawed arm, the acidic liquid blowing in the wind burning her own clothing and skin "Nazar Nail!" Gatomon, having been clinging to her tamers back for this moment, jumped onto the boys head as her eyes literally flashed "Cats Eye!" Lillithmon froze in midair and the phantom pain dropped allowing Takato to strike her again, this time with a hazard charged arm. This time his punch dislocated her jaw, bruised her face, and sent her careering back several feet.

"Radiation Blade!" the attack struck lillithmon but only just, managing to sever her arm, unfortunately not the one baring the Nazar Nail. She screamed and jumped back, coughing up blood.

"… Bastards!" she screamed after pushing her jaw back into place, clutching her bleeding stump and breathing hard. Both WarGrowlmon and Gatomon regrouped behind their tamer, both ready for more, out of the corner of his eye Takato saw that rika`s vulpine partner was beginning to stir "I`m glad she`s alright, looks like we wont need her though" He said to his tenant"Don't be so arrogant…"he responded, just as lillithmon appeared in front of WarGrowlmon, her hand over her mouth.

"Darkness Love!" and surprisingly she simple blew the reptilian cyborg a kiss as her eyes flashed red. WarGrowlmon stood rigid, his body shaking.

"WarGrowlmon!" Takato called out to his partner "What's wrong!" Lillithmon chuckled "Oh, nothing, he`s just temporarily infatuated with me… just long enough for me, to do this! Nazar Nail!" the clawed and dripping hand was shoved through the exposed area of chest between the armor plates causing the digimon to scream.

"WARGROWLMON!" both Takato and Gatomon yelled, Takato suddenly feeling an unbearable pain in his own chest; rika too looked horrified. The hand was ripped out of their friend's chest, the hole spewing crimson blood and yellow mechanical fluids as the digimon collapsed, the ground shaking. Takato and Gatomon both rushed to help their partner, Takato stumbling as he ran, the pain beginning to get to him.

Lillithmon sneered down at them "What is that phrase human's use… oh yes! The bigger they are the harder they fall" She began giggling at the stomach churning sound of the flesh, bone, and steel of WarGrowlmon's body being burned away by the acid in his veins and artery`s.

She rose her remaining hand, summoning her bakemon and phantomon minions to conduct the finishing blows on the two humans and their partners.

Rika tightened her grip on her partner, pulling the vixen closer in her arms "Renamon… Renamon please wake up" she whispered "Renamon…!" the fox stirred, letting out a pained groan "Renamon!" her eyes snapped open and she sat up like a bullet only to drop back down from the residual pain "Agh…" she grunted "It… hurts…" rika nodded hugging her partner "I know, I'm sorry, I know your hurt, but please, the others need you!"

Renamon looked towards the others, her eyes wide "Is that… guilmon?" Rika nodded "Yes, she got him with her Nazar nail" renamons eyes widened more as she recognized the scent of burning flesh in the air "Damn…" she struggled to her feet and began stepping forward slowly while rika swiped a few cards that she hoped would speed up her partners recovery.

Lillithmon noticed them and halted their attack to mock the two "Ha! And what do you think you can do; a downed rookie and a pathetic human girl? You want to help your friends…? Then let us make their deaths quick"

Rika clenched her fist and swiped her final card [a digivolution card] through the slot "Digivolution activate!"

Within seconds Renamon had been replaced by Kyuubimon and, as she leapt over her fallen comrades, took down several of the bakemon with her foxtail inferno as she made her way to the target, lillithmon. The demon lady laughed and swatted her away like a fly, the nine tailed fox hitting the ground and beginning to roll, stopping just short of hitting her own partner.

Rika ground her teeth, as did her partner as she stood to her feet. "We, we wont let you hurt…" rika ground out, trying to get past her pride "We won't let you hurt…!" she closed her eyed and clutched the digivice harder as it began to glow.

"OUR FRIENDS!" The two females screamed out as rika`s eyes snapped open, rage lacing their words.

MATRIX -D-I-G-I-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N

KYUUBIMON MATRIX DIGIVOLVE TO...

Catching fire as she did using the Dragon wheel, Kyuubimon spun in the air, wrapping her nine tails around herself becoming a burning ball of data which soon spiralled around her core. As the air shimmered around her an illusionary image of the moon overlapped the digivolution as the data once again took a more human form. With a bright flash of light her image loaded over the form, that of an eight foot fox woman, now much more masculine than Renamon, and with an extra burst of information and energy from the core, she was garbed in Taoist robes.

Now armed with her weapon, a six foot writing brush of polished wood, the Kitsune of Yin and Yang called out her name…

...TAOMON!"

The first thing she dig was to paint a kanji of light in the air, the symbol blasting a ray of light at the demon woman "Talisman of Light!" the fox woman called, the attack burning the Mega, the resulting explosion sending her back further that even Takato's hazard empowered punch and obliterating a good number of the bakemon while the rest stood… floated stunned.

Hurrying over to the injured cyborg like a digital Joan of ark. She placed a hand on the wound, whispering a chant; when she took away her hand, the kanji for healing was etched into his body, glowing with an ethereal light. The burning sound was now that of the acid being purged from his system as the wound healed. Turning back to the wounded Mega who was dragging herself out of her own crater, Taomon prepared to fight and protect her friends while she waited for the cyborg to be revived.

"Come get it bitch" she growled, raising her brush. Lillithmon spat out blood, and charged.

"Talisman Spell!" a hundred red papers flew from her sleeves like flock of birds, attaching themselves to the enemy firmly. Beginning to claw at them lillithmon managed to rip one off before the whole lot exploded.

A few moments later, a badly burned lillithmon staggered out of the smoke, her cloths in tatters. Taomon rushed forward, brush poised to knock the annoying demons block off; she swept the weapon down, only for it to pass through an after image.

"What…! Agh!" she was struck in the back when the disheveled Mega rammed her; Taomon looked up to find the woman standing over her "Nazar Nail!" she screeched, bringing the arm down. Wham! She was batted out of the way by a certain cyborg armored fist, traveling at the speed of a small car. Takato was beside her helping her up and rika wasted no time in coming to aid her either.

The odd group, winded but still going strong, turned to stare down their practically defeated enemy "Lillithmon…" Rika hissed, restraining herself from beating whatever crap remained out of the digimon. Picking up where she left off, Takato growled "You're done now, normally I'm not violent, but I've been getting angry real easy lately, and you`ve made me angry… WarGrowlmon!"

The cyborg nodded charging his cannons while Taomon drew not one but two large kanji in the air. Standing up to defend herself lillithmon made the mistake of looking into Gatomon`s eyes. "Cat`s Eye!" the cat sneered, happy to hold the demon down while her comrades took care of the rest.

"Atomic Blaster!"

"Talisman of Light!"

A powerful beam of red energy fired side by side with two blasts of pure destructive light. Unable to defend herself, lillithmon could only scream as her data was burned away, spreading over the area. Gatomon felt a little odd as soon as the eye contact was broken, something was wrong.

But when the attack died down what was clearly the Mega`s data was dispersed over a wide area, thick as smog from an oil factory. Takato breathed a sigh of relief as the two ultimate's returned to their rookie forms and began the task of loading the vast data. He noticed that Gatomon was not even interested, as if preoccupied with something.

"Gatomon…? What's wrong?" he asked. The two digimon left the data, turning to look at their friend with worry, Rika too. "There's… something wrong… when the attacks broke my eye contact she moved, she was obviously struck by the attack and deleted but I was sure I felt her get away…"

Renamon`s eyes widened "You might have done… I heard that some digimon can escape deletion be letting whatever is hurting them strip off a few levels of data and devolving…" Takato ground his teeth as rika spoke "So what your saying is that she got away in her ultimate form?"

Renamon shook her head "No, judging by the amount of data left behind at least rookie… Possibly champion" the others sighed in relief "So no problem then, we can handle her like that?" Takato asked.

"Yea… I'm sure we can" Renamon nodded, scanning the area with her senses "I think I have her… shall I go after her?" she asked rika, who, surprisingly [even for herself] looked to Takato. After a moment he said "Yea, Gatomon, you go too, you two are the fastest, and the more experienced"

The two digimon nodded and sped off.

Takato scratched his chin, feeling he had forgotten something "… Oh yea!" he turned to the remaining bakemon "Your turn!" he said with a sadistic grin. With screams of fear, the sheet-like digimon fled with their metaphorical tails between their legs.

Rika smiled "I didn't know you had it in you"

"Neither did I" Takato laughed "Come on, remember there's still six more demon lords, and lillithmon wasn't the strongest" and with that he jogged off in the direction of the city, the fastest way back to the tunnels they had come through and therefore the surface world.

Rika and guilmon were soon chasing after him, neither in the mood for another fight like that just yet.


Inside the citadel, Lucemon cried out and punched an unfortunate wall that happened to be there. He and the other four demon lords in the citadel had all felt Lillithmon's apparent death.

"This will not go unpunished" he swore "It will not…!"


Zandermon: also there is a new poll, the old one is closed ad the result is that I will do the important deva battles and show other bits in flashback`s

Angewomon: pleeeaaasse vote on the new one [puppy dog eyes]

[Both look at lady D]

Lady.D: "… what? I`m not doing that!"

Both: "…"

Lady.D: fine… pleeeaaasse [sickened look]


Note: the following added18/june/2010


Hypnos

GrapLeomon stood in the centre of the roof, adjusting to his new form, Mihiramon watched him with sharp eyes as the lion inspected the cutting vortex surrounding his forearms. Rapidmon had regained his footing, flashing over to stand by his comrade.

Mihiramon growled "Do you think that a mere digivolution will help you? We may all be ultimate's now but my power comes from my father the digimon sovereign! Nothing stands against him! Armored Tiger-tail!"

The armored tail came in fast, rapidmon was about to speed away with his feline partner but as the tail homed in on it`s targets the humanoid lion stepped forward and stood in front of the cyborg, his left foot behind him as he entered a fighting stance.

"Lion`s Barricade!" he thrust his whole body forward along with his left fist, the swirling tornado expanded, It`s gale force winds forming a spinning barrier that halted the tail completely, the sound of the wind roared loudly, like and angered lion.

Rapidmon darted around the shield letting lose a rapid barrage at the stunned tiger`s side. Mihiramon took to the air again circling around the building as he watched the two say something to each other; he strained to hear but missed it.

Rapidmon turned as his eyes began to follow the Deva, his launcher preparing his next rapid fire attack. GrapLeomon however, crouched down as if to jump, tightening each of his muscles like springs.

"Rapid Fire!" whatever else he did was missed by Mihiramon`s eyes as he took one of the missiles to the side while dodging the other and circling to the other side of the building before lashing out at Rapidmon's legs, temporarily knocking the cyborg off balance.

It was then that he noticed the others disappearance, he growled placing a paw on the cyborg head and applying pressure "Where is the other one?" he growled clenching his paw so that the claws began to crack the armor plating.

Rapidmon was in too much pain to answer "Just a few more moments…" he thought, gritting his teeth behind the armored masks "Just a few more!"

A loud roar echoed in their ears as GrapLeomon descended from the sky, the winds now whipping around his leg "Lion`s Barrage!" he yelled as he delivered a devastating axe kick to the unsuspecting Deva's neck, a loud crack was heard as the tiger crashed hard into the ground, leaving a deep imprint from the momentum.

Rapidmon rolled out from under the deva, watching it cautiously, knowing that until its data was scattered across the rooftop like sand it was not dead. GrapLeomon stood back; he felt he had sprained his ankle on the deva's tough hide.

Slowly, Mihiramon rose to his feet, his entire body was in agony, his neck in particular, something was stopping him from thinking straight, and his spinal Colum had been damaged just enough to make moving difficult, he had to try three times just to lift his paw.

"Godramon, no! They've turned my into a damned cripple!"

He staggered forward, knowing he should retreat but unable to concentrate to open a gate. He bumped into something and hobbled back, before him stood GrapLeomon, a sad look on his face "I apologies…" he said "But we cannot let you return only to be healed and come back once again to hurt our friends" he could sense rapidmon behind him.

"I know you have a loyalty to the sovereign, and you truly believe you are doing the right thing… you are not evil… but you are our enemy…" Mihiramon began shaking "No… please no! don't!" GrapLeomon shook his head "It hurts doesn't it…?" he asked, looking at the former proud Deva pityingly.

The tiger nodded, flinching in pain as he did.

"Then I shall put you out of you misery" Mihiramon clenched his teeth and eyes shut, there was nothing he could do. Taking several steps away from the Deva, GrapLeomon crossed his two wind coated arms in front of him, the twin tornado`s splitting into six individual ring-blades.

"I`ll make it quick… Blades of the Kamikaze!" he through his arms out to the side, the six rings leaving him at supersonic speeds, three raveling far to the left, three to the right, before all six turned around, closing in on the deva "Goodbye Mihiramon…"

Mihiramon`s severed head fell to the ground before it and the rest of his body dispersed in a wave of data.

Yamaki and his coworkers stared at the screen, some in awe, others in fear, but all had some form of amazement or surprise. Yamaki was no exception "These kids and their digimon, they truly are disgusting, and what's worse… their our only real defense…"

Riley stared at the screen too, her closest friend Talley beside her "What do you think it said to the wild one?" Talley asked as the two digimon left the roof. Riley shook her head "I don't know…"


Jeri began stirring in her sleep as the others sat around her, they had brought her back to the Wong's apartment for now and lay her on the blue haired boy`s bed. She had been out for over an hour, on her stomach, Elecmon also rested content that she was not hurt.

Alice was perched on the side of the bed, tugging lightly on her braid as the watched the group, Dobermon laid at her feet, seemingly asleep. Alice had just finished explaining how it was that tamers felt their digimon`s physical pain through their bond.

Pain she said was an electrical signal, and thus transmittable, being made of data digimon had much more electricity in their body than organic beings, this made them walking transmitters. The D-ark`s were the receivers, able to show the digimon`s status and position in relevance to you, it was also the metaphorical chain that helped the bond, and was sensitive to its holders energy field.

In short the pain was transmitted to the digivice, and then into the body, the psychological connection helped make it seem more real as it received the emotions. Jeri had passed out from leomon`s pain, having a much lower pain tolerance.

Jeri stirred again letting out a pained moan before sitting up, and rubbing her head "What happened… is leomon ok…?" her vision was blurred. Sitting on her lap, Elecmon used his tail to pat her shoulder "I`m fine Jeri, I digivolved and we defeated him"

The girl`s head snapped up "What…? YOU DIGIVOLVED AND NO ONE WOKE ME UP SO I COULD SEE! WHATDIDYOULOOKLIKE,WEREYOUCOOL,WEREYOUCUTE,IBETYOUWEREAWSOME!"

"…"

After a moment she managed to have the good grace to look embarrassed "… sorry" The others laughed, before beginning to explain the things she had missed.


Back in the digital world, the two young humans had made their way steadily back to the ledge, looking over the city where they had first been captured by the bakemon. They sat together, Guilmon with his reptilian head on Takato`s lap and rika by his side, waiting for their other partners to return from taking care of their enemy

"Takato…" rika spoke quietly, looking at the dirt between her feet as she hugged her knee`s. he looked up at her curiously "Yea?"

"I… I mean, she scuffed the ground with her toe "I just realized I never thanked you… for telling me the truth about digimon… so that I wouldn't hurt my partner anymore… I`m sorry it took so long but… thank you"

He blinked "Uh… your welcome, I guess" then he grinned "So I guess Ms. Ice-Queen softened up then, YOW!" he ground his teeth in pain, rubbing the sore spot on his arm. Rika laughed "Not by a long-shot goggles" they sat in silence for a while, but the atmosphere was a happy one, they had both fully recognized the other as a friend… albeit in their own ways.


Renamon and Gatomon chased the younger evolution of lillithmon through the hellish city of the dark area for the better part of an hour and had barely managed to glimpse her, while the power level was far below either of them, her speed outstripped even Renamon. The two of them split up, taking different routs and soon enough cornered her in an alleyway… or so they thought. They arrived there just in time to see her black feline form disappearing over the rooftops, all traces vanishing with her.

Gatomon balled her fist "Damn, lost her…" Renamon nodded serenely "I see, then we should return to Takato and Rika, she`s no longer a threat but there are others her" Gatomon nodded in agreement "Fine, lets go"


Up on the building, the newly devolved BlackGatomon watched them leave and sighed with relief. Crumpling down in exhaustion, BlackGatomon brought a shaking paw to her face. The one saving grace of losing her power had been regenerating her lost eye and limb, but the three scars remained on her face, permanently burned onto her data memory.

"I swear, I'll get them back for this, those goddamn tamer and the demon lords, they should have come for me when I started losing! I was right on the doorstep!" she growled, smacking the concrete with her paw before biting back a yell at the pain "That shouldn't have hurt… I'm so weak… but I'll get it back, I'll get it all back, and more!"

She jumped up, ready to get started! And her stomach growled. She clutched it in discomfort "But first I need something to eat"


Takato was dropping off as the two digimon arrived. Rika poked him awake, letting him know they were here "Did you get her?" he asked, though the looks on their faces said it all. They shook their heads "We`re sorry Takato" Gatomon hung her head. Renamon also looked down "We thought we had her but her speed is superior even to mine"

Rika looked shocked "She`s faster than you?" the vixen nodded "Yes, however her power is low. I think Takato could take her with that hazard charged punch of his" nodding, Takato stood and stretched "Ok, I guess we`ll have to leave her then, lets get back to the surface and figure out a way home"

Rika huffed "And who exactly made you leader goggle`s?" He rubbed the back of his head apologetically "Sorry, would you like to be the leader?" before she could answer Renamon stepped forward "I think Takato would be a more sensible choice for leader, you did get us lost before"

"Aren't you supposed to be on my side?"

"…"

She sighed "Fine, Takato`s the leader, now let's just get the hell outa here


Zandermon: I hit an unexpected snag with this one, I was on my laptop at school when I started this bit [I write most of my stuff while at school] and I had no internet connection, to look up the names and descriptions of GrapLeomon's attacks.

Angewomon: so you just made them up?

Lady.D: what does it matter

Zandermon: Well basically… I'm telling you so that you don't get upset over an apparent "Mistake" [lol] all mistakes are deliberate

Lady.D: Does that include you?

Zandermon: "…"


Note: I have decided to leave this as a chapter in its self, chapter 9 part 2: Nazar Nail. As in total its word count reached 3655, my target for minimum chapter length
