Chapter 14: The Desperate Struggle

The Digidestined looked as the Mega forms of Patamon and Gatomon went to fight ArchDevimon. "Whoa..." Kari said in awe. "It actually worked... T.K, you're a pure genius!" "Well, I don't know..." T.K. said and blushed.
"No, you really were!" Tai said. "How did you come up with that, T.K?" Davis asked T.K. "Well, actually I... I felt that it could work." T.K. admitted. "I just suddenly got this feeling..." "HALLOWED KNUCKLE!!" Seraphimon struck ArchDevimon's head. "FIRE TORNADO!!" Magnadramon blasted at ArchDevimon, who dodged it by flying upwards. "Ha! You missed!" He scolded Magnadramon. "Maybe I did that on purpose..." She replied, as Omnimon struck his Transcendent Sword right through ArchDevimon's head. "Grrr..." ArchDevimon groared as he was getting angrier. "POSITRON LASER!!" Imperialdramon attacked ArchDevimon's back. "I have to admit..." ArchDevimon said. "Your attacks are starting to hurt me... A little." He let out an evil laughter. "INFERNAL FLAMES!!" Flames rose from the air and damaged Omnimon and Imperialdramon. "He's way too strong..." Omnimon stated. "You're right..."
Imperialdramon replied. "There's only one thing we can do." "I agree." Omnimon converted his body into data, and released Agumon and Gabumon. Omnimon's data formed into a sword, which Imperialdramon wielded. Soon, he started to glow, and transformed into Imperialdramon Paladin Mode.

Back at Patamon's house, Yolei and Cody took care of Patty. Patty looked really worried. "Mama and Papa okay?" She asked Yolei and Cody. "Of course." Yolei replied and tried to cheer up the baby digimon. "Your mom and dad are one of the strongest digimon's I've ever met." Cody said, and Yolei nodded. "Yeah. They'll be fine." Patty still looked a little worried, but so did Yolei. "What's wrong?" Cody asked her. "Nothing. It's just that..." Yolei started, but couldn't find the words for it. "You're worried about Ken, right?" Cody asked her. Yolei nodded a little carefully. "You may go if you want." "R-really?" Yolei asked. "Sure. Armadillomon and I can look after Patty on our own." "Th-thanks, Cody." Yolei replied, and hugged Cody a little before leaving with Hawkmon. "Wheve Yolei go?" Patty asked. "Err, she... She went to look after a person she loves." Cody replied. "Like Papa mithed Mama when the wath gone?" Patty asked. "Precisely." Armadillomon said. Patty looked out of the window, and saw colourful explosions in the sky. "They're all fighting over there..." Cody thought to himself. "Yeah. I hope they'll be okay." Armadillomon stated. "Papa... Mama..." Patty muttered.

"OMNI SWORD!!" Imperialdramon struck his sword into ArchDevimon's chest. Even though the three Megas were barraging their attacks, no obvious damage could be made to the devil digimon. "HELL'S BLAST!!" ArchDevimon attacked Imperialdramon at a point-blank range, and he nearly passed out. "Take that!!" ArchDevimon yelled. "SEVEN HEAVENS!!" Seraphimon fired seven spheres of light at ArchDevimon. Even though they hit him right into his back, he didn't even flinch. "This is impossible!" Seraphimon yelled. "And he's a mere Ultimate... If he has a Mega form, I'd hate to see it." Magnadramon stated. ArchDevimon slashed Seraphimon with his claws, and he nearly fell to the ground.
"Darn it!!" Imperialdramon swore. "He must have SOME sort of weakness!!" "We've been trying to attack him every possible point we could..." Magnadramon said. Suddenly, ArchDevimon's army of Vilemon flew into the scene. "Oh, come on! We don't have time to deal with them..." Seraphimon said. However, the Vilemon were heading towards the Digidestined. "Uh-oh, they're coming this way!" Davis yelled. The Digidestined tried to flee, but the Vilemon surrounded them. "This doesn't look good..." T.K. muttered, as the Vilemon were about to attack them.

"DOUBLE STARS!!" A shuriken came from behind the Vilemon, and destroyed three of them. "WING BLADE!!" A flaming phoenix-like entity destroyed a second group of Vilemon. "VULCAN'S HAMMER!!" An arrow-shaped energy wave destroyed the rest of the Vilemon. "Hi, guys!!" Sora greeted them as she and Joe stepped in from the woods. "Thanks. You saved us." Kari said. "Hey, it was no big deal!" Joe replied. "KEEEEN!!" Yolei yelled and rushed to Ken, and hugged him. "Y-Yolei?" Ken asked her. "What are you doing here?" "Umm... I was worried about you. So I decided to come over here to see if you're all right..." Yolei replied. "So, Cody's taking care of Patty on his own, right?" Kari asked Yolei, who nodded. Shurimon leaped at ArchDevimon to help Imperialdramon, Seraphimon and Magnadramon. "Should we go, too?" Zudomon asked. "Well..." Joe said, and looked at Sora, who nodded. "Why not. But first, let's show our friends our secret weapon, okay?" "Sure." Sora replied. Garudamon and Zudomon de-digivolved back to Biyomon and Gomamon. "You ready?" Sora asked Joe, who nodded. They raised their Digivices.

"BIYOMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO... HOUOMON!!"
"GOMAMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO... PLESIOMON!!"

T.K, Kari, Tai, Matt, Davis, Ken and Yolei looked in awe as they saw the two new Megas taking off to aid the others in fighting ArchDevimon. "Whoa... When did they manage to warp digivolve?" Tai asked Sora and Joe. "We're not sure.
We noticed it a couple days ago, when we were freeing Digimon from the Black Gears." Joe replied. "Well, this shouldn't be a bad thing..." T.K. said, but Kari looked sceptical. "I don't know..." She muttered. "I don't think they have enough power to defeat ArchDevimon." "CRIMSON FLAME!!" Houomon attacked ArchDevimon. "SHAKING PULSE!!" Plesiomon blasted a supersonic at ArchDevimon. "DOUBLE STARS!!" Shurimon struck ArchDevimon's back. "I don't belive this..." Houomon said. "How can he fight against five Megas and an Armor Digimon?" "Beats me." Imperialdramon said. "He doesn't even look that strong..." However, ArchDevimon heard Imperialdramon's comment, and got a little angered. "Oh, really..." he said. "Well, how about NOW?!" ArchDevimon raised his hands into the air, and grew rapidly into an enormous size. "MWAHAHAHAHAAA!!" He let out an evil laughter, as the digimon fighting him looked stumped. "This is not good..." Magnadramon stated.

"EEK!!" Patty screamed and looked scared. "What's wrong?" Cody asked here. "Patty thee a big beatht!!" Patty said and pointed at the window. Cody looked out, and saw the enormous ArchDevimon. "Uh-oh..." He muttered in shock. "PAPA!! MAMA!!"
Patty screamed, and nearly cried. "Don't worry, Patty." Armadillomon tried to comfort her. "They'll be fine." Patty was extremely worried. "I want to know that Papa and Mama are okay..." She thought to herself. As Cody and Armadillomon were not paying attention, Patty quietly opened the door and ran outside. "PATTY!!" Cody shouted, and he and Armadillomon ran after her. "Patty, come back here!!" Armadillomon yelled, but they couldn't catch the baby digimon. "She's fast for a baby..." Cody admitted, and looked worried. "Where is she going?" "Most likely to the battlefield." Armadillomon replied. "She's worried about her parents... And to tell you the truth, I'm worried too." Cody looked upset. "You're right..."
He whispered. "ArchDevimon is immensively strong." "Don't worry. Others will take him down." Armadillomon said. "In the meantime, let's go after Patty!" He said, and Cody nodded.

In his new, gigantic form, ArchDevimon easily outmatched the digimon fighting him. A single flick was enough to badly damage Shurimon and knock him unconcious, de-digivolving him back to Hawkmon. He blowed away Seraphimon and Magnadramon with a single swipe, and when he stomped the ground, only the shockwave was enough to knock Plesiomon against the Infinity Mountain. Imperialdramon fired a barrage of Giga Crusher's at ArchDevimon, but to no avail. "YOU MISERABLE FOOLS!!"
ArchDevimon yelled and laughed deviously. "YOU CAN NEVER DEFEAT ME!! DO YOU HEAR ME?! NEVEER!!!" He fired a Hell's Blast at Houomon, which nearly killed her. He grabbed Imperialdramon's sword and crushed it, causing Imperialdramon to de-digivolve to Fighter Mode. Seraphimon and Magnadramon fired Hallowed Ascension and Dragon Fire at ArchDevimon simultaneously, but he didn't even flinch. The Digimon were getting exhausted, while ArchDevimon showed no marks of even gettng the least bit tired. The digimon went near the Digidestined. "We're sorry..." Seraphimon said. "We... We can't defeat him. He's too strong." "You'll have to do your best!" T.K. said. "We've tried, but nothing works on him. He's invincible."
Magnadramon stated. "PAPA!! MAMA!!" Seraphimon and Magnadramon immediatly turned around, and saw Patty flying at them.

"Patty, what are you doing around here?" Seraphimon asked her. "Patty want to know Mama and Papa alwight!" Patty replied, and hugged Seraphimon. "Patty, we're fine. You just go now, before anything happens to you." Magnadramon said to her.
"NO!!" Patty protested. "Patty, Papa and Mama finally togethew now, Patty no wanna go!!" "Patty, your parents don't want you to get hurt." Kari said to her softly. "*PANT PANT*... Sorry." Cody said as he and Armadillomon rushed into the scene. "She... Ran away..." "It's okay. She was just worried about us." Seraphimon said. "Patty. You can stay here, but do NOT to try follow us or fight ArchDevimon. Just stay here with T.K. and Kari, okay?" He ordered Patty. "But, but..."
"Patty, please." Magnadramon said and looked at her eyes. Patty gulped and nodded. "Good. Now, let's take care of-" "SERAPHIMON, LOOK OUT!!" T.K. yelled, as ArchDevimon grabbed him. "Heh heh heh..." ArchDevimon chuckled. "After all, you are the one I want to have my vengeance on. Prepare to-" ""POSITRON LASER!!" "FIRE TORNADO!!" Imperialdramon and Magnadramon attacked ArchDevimon simultaneously, causing him to get distracted and let go of Seraphimon. "Why you..." He said, and let out a red shockwave, that seemingly knocked the two out. Seraphimon was looking in awe, and ArchDevimon focused his attention back at Seraphimon. "PREPARE TO DIE!! HELL'S BLAST!!" ArchDevimon blasted at Seraphimon, who covered his head with his arms. "NO!!!" Magnadramon yelled, pushed Seraphimon out of the way, and her body was pierced through by ArchDevimon's attack.
