Digimon Connections

Well Christmas is nearing so I guess that's a thing. I'll go ahead and say I don't plan on making any holiday chapter. So you're stuck with normal updates, though I guess that won't make things worse.

Chapter Thirteen
Inner Strength
The Chosen had followed Nefertimon to the small missionary house the Great Angels had in the village. It wasn't anything special though it stood out in the small town which were made up of wooden buildings where as this was a white brick building reminiscent of a minor church.
Inside its main hall consisted of a library and study hall, lines of book shelves on both sides as they followed into the study hall. It was a part of the library that was more open, large pillows and small tables everywhere. They assumed pillows were placed since Digimon weren't really all fit for chairs and sat down.
"I assume you're headed to him" Nefertimon said calmly though with a certain tone shift at the end.
"We're searching answers as to why we're here" Leon replied, "We've defeated Devimon and stopped the Digimon Director, albeit those two sort of collided, and are trying to find out what more there is"
"Angewomon sent you here for more answers? Regarding the prophecy you're included in." Nefertimon quietly asked. "That is his specialty"
"You don't sound fond of this Digimon" Miku spoke up.
"He's an old one" Nefertimon said, "From when the Digital World was still young after the great battle, back when the first humans was in the Digital World. Shortly after that battle the Digital World rebooted itself and he is one of the early Digimon from back then. I believe the reboot also had effects on how the Digital World and your world are connected"
"What else do you know about the two worlds?!" Walter asked, loudly, leaning forward.
"I do not know anything beyond this" Nefertimon admitted, "While I have read all books that are in this library, the books about the early days are not open to public eyes. Not even to Emissaries."
"Well that made us a lot smarter on that subject" Leon sighed as he leaned back.
"The town seems rather quiet" Lopmon said, changing the subject. "It's usually a lot more busy isn't it?"
"After that demon started capturing Digimon everyone in these areas got scared of being out at night, as that's where all the captures took place" Nefertimon explained.
"Another like the Digimon Director?!" Maya asked shocked.
"If only," Nefertimon muttered, "This demon is a lot worse than anything I've heard the Digimon Director did"
"Worse than capturing Digimon against their own will?!" Leon hissed, bolting up.
"The Digimon Director only captured them, nothing more" Nefertimon said, "This demon do something with them, something horrible most likely. It's enough to scare anyone here"
"I can imagine" Cody commented.
"Though the worst part is the days he sends Digimon here to scare the villagers out of their homes and then captures them" Nefertimon said.
"Well today he's going to get a surprise when he's showing up" Ryan said, looking around at the others.
"There's no way we're leaving when attacks like this are taking place" Leon stated sternly.
"I guess this means we found ourselves the next enemy" Miku pouted.
"This sounds like something completely different" Maya said, "Maybe worse than Devimon"
"How can it be worse than-" Leon hissed before he was interrupted by an ear shattering bang from outside, followed by the sound of wooden planks hitting the ground which in turn was followed by the sound of voices screaming. "What the-" he said surprised before a manic laughter filled the entire town, deafening out the sound of more bangs and the screams.
Meanwhile Lilithmon, Minomon and Tsukasa were both standing inside the changing room Tsukasa was led into earlier, "So this Digimon is works in the same way I did?" Tsukasa asked as she put on her shirt.
"Following the same lines as you did, yes" Lilithmon replied. "But he's gone out of bounds, it seems as if he's trying to pull a certain Digimon into the Digital World"
"To think all these things happens when what you're doing is right" Tsukasa muttered before glancing back at Lilithmon, "We'll take care of him" she said looking at the mark on her arm, "And hopefully awaken this some more"
"When the time comes, everything will fall into place" Lilithmon said as she ripped her right hand through the air, tearing a rip in the air. "We look forward to your results" she said as the rip widened enough for her to enter it.
"We'll make sure he gets knocked down a peg, though I can't promise he'll live" Tsukasa said as she picked up her jacket eyeing it oddly, "This isn't my jacket" she muttered looking at the black duster coat in her hands. As she raised to see how long it actually was a thin cloth collar fell down. "What. Is. This?"
"Oh, a gift" Lilithmon smirked, "Your plain jacket didn't scream Demon Lord" she giggled.
"And a big black gloomy coat do?!" Tsukasa retorted as she held it in front of her, "Oh come on, I'll be stepping on it" looking closer at it she noticed the insides were completely magenta.
"It's measured just for you" Lilithmon said with a playful grin, "It'll fit like a charm"
"Then what's with the collar" Tsukasa sneered.
"It's a choker, I felt it would fit" Lilithmon replied keeping the playful grin.
"You are one odd Digimon" Tsukasa sighed as she put the choker around her neck.
"And yet I'm the one you probably enjoy being with the most of us seven" Lilithmon replied back, stepping into the rip. "Now take care of that guy" she said waving as the rip shut, leaving the room as if Lilithmon had never been there.
"Geez, if she's this weird I don't want to find out how the other ones are in a one-on-one conversation" Tsukasa concluded as she put on the duster, and stared at the long mirror also inside the room, her own brown eyes staring back. "I guess this look will do" she said running a hand through her dark-brown hair. The magenta inside of the duster going completely against the dark colors on all her other clothes. "Talk about bad color coordination, I mean the shirt have a white cross with a black center, but black and white match sort of"
"I've never seen you be that deep in thought, Mino" Minomon commented as Tsukasa still stared at herself in the mirror.
"It's not a lot you have seen" Tsukasa replied before turning toward Minomon, "We should get going. We'll probably be able to catch up to the Chosen if we hurry"
"Is there a reason for that, Mino?" Minomon asked surprised.
"Any means to do this, they're heading right into his territory. I might as well use them antagonizing him" Tsukasa said with a sly grin as she lifted up Minomon before placing him inside a large pocket in the coat. "There's some good use for it already"
"She really did have it prepared just for you, Mino" Minomon stated from inside the pocket, he sat cone deep in it, only his head and small arms sticking out. "Forward! Mino!" he demanded pointing outwards as Tsukasa let out a sigh and went toward the exit.
Back at the village the sight that met the Chosen had no possible description other than horrific. Large parts of the town was either entirely destroyed or still on fire. Screams of younger Digimon echoed throughout the town and even in the surrounding areas.
"Worse than Devimon might not have been that far off after all" Leon admitted with visible disgust on his face.
"Something about the air is really ticking me off" Impmon commented as he looked around.
Instantly a blast of dark energy wheezed past them, blowing up a wall behind them. In front of them appeared seven Digimon, a small ghost like Digimon, a black bird, a red slim wolf on all four, a knight like Digimon wielding a sword out of its arm. What looked like plain sludge held together by thin pieces of metal. A Digimon similar to an oni dressed in a green dress like object wearing a red cape. And finally a large bear like beast with a small white mask on top of its head.
"Guess we've found the troublemakers" Leon commented as he stepped forward.
"I think it's only fair we show them what we think of troublemakers" Michael grinned as the Chosen and their Digimon got ready.
"Evolve!" echoed and the entire area was lit in a powerful light. As the light died down the shapes of the now evolved Partner Digimon appeared, except of Lopmon who still stood next to Cody.
The second the light died down, the seven Digimon jumped into action, each going for a different Chosen Digimon.
The large bear beast was the last to move after the other six had split into battle with the other Chosen, their cries could be heard in the distance.
"Great, we're left with the big one" Cody muttered stepping backwards slowly.
The large beast Digimon let out a feral roar, "Wendimon crush you!"
Wendimon, Adult Level Digimon. it has the ability to manipulate time and space, and is able to warp by passing through other dimensions, as well as to create a special space. Its Special Attack is Destroyed Voice.
"Ehm, Cody," Lopmon asked worried, "I can't evolve yet"
Cody's eyes widened with fear as Wendimon stepped forward, drooling from his mouth. Instantly Cody broke into a run, away from Wendimon. She wasn't sure what was driving her to run, but both her brain and body screamed at her for staying close to it.
"Why are we running?" Lopmon asked as he was trying to keep up. "Shouldn't we fight?"
Cody didn't respond but kept running for what felt like hours until taking a turn to the right, "I.. I'm scared" Cody muttered leaning against the remains of a wooden building, breathing heavily as she saw the other Partner Digimon fighting around her. The sound Wendigomon's heaving footsteps came closer. Lopmon stood by her side equally exhausted.
"I... I can't believe... I can't believe something like that is after us" Lopmon said, his breathing slightly stiff from the running.
"But, we can't stay scared" Cody stated her breathing picking up, "Like the others, we have to find-" she said before a large hand burst through the wall, an inhuman growl following. The two quickly picked up themselves and broke into a run before stopping after just a few feet.
The growling intensified as the large hand ripped itself to the right, tearing through the wood, with a powerful motion from behind the wall the beast slammed into the wall bringing it down. "And now I shall feast!" Wendimon roared.
"No. No more!" Cody yelled at Wendimon who tilted his head as if he enjoyed her struggles. "I can't keep running anymore" her voice strained. "We can't fall behind the others" she said turning her head to Lopmon, who nodded. "We too. We too are strong!" she declared as a burst of light appeared from her Digivice.
"Lopmon Evolve!" Lopmon announced as the bright light enveloped his body. Inside the light his body grew taller, his limbs grew longer and his chocolate brown fur left his body leaving him in a purplish pink and his ears grew slimmer. He was dressed in a yellow outfit with a blue bandana around his neck. In his hands, a pair of iron claws. "Turuiemon!"
Turuiemon, Adult Level Digimon. A martial artist Digimon discovered within the hinterlands of a Chinese mountain province. It pursued the viruses that exploit e-mails to do evil as their eternal enemy, and wandered the world. Although it is blessed with the makings of an unparalleled Ch'uan Fa, it is still developing it. It uses the original Rabbit's Fang Fist that it has worked out. Its Special Attack is Pika Sparking.
"That's so cool!" Cody grinned, her Partner finally joining the others in the ranks of Adult.
"So cool," Turuiemon replied with a confident smirk, "I think it's time we show him a little something about ruining other's houses!"

Within seconds Turuiemon had run directly in front of Wendimon, delivering a powerful punch with his right hand, sending the larger Digimon stumbling back as it roared in pain, a shockwave echoing from it as it roared.
In the same old scenery I suddenly see
"Destroyed Voice, huh" Turuiemon noted before sprinting to the right, Wendimon instantly noticing, and threw his own body toward Turuiemon, its left arm swung out ramming into Turuiemon sending him crashing into one of the now burned out buildings.
Myself, alone now, walking slowly
"Turuiemon!" Cody called out, her only response was a few wooden boards flying out from the wall he'd crashed into.
There's no time to hesitate, this isn't a daydream
"I'm just fine, though that did sting a little" Turuiemon commented in a smug tone as he appeared within the hole he'd come through. "And now it's time we get serious" he grinned as his iron claws flipped down, readying them for combat.
A tragedy begins the moment we meet
Instantly he leapt directly toward Wendimon, unleashing a flurry of swipes with his claws. Wendimon brought up his large arms and swung wildly to hit the smaller opponent.
You are unique, nobody can take your place
But with speed not on his side it simply looked like Wendimon sluggishly swung his arms around himself.
Your existence is special, don't hesitate…it's time to fight!
"Things aren't looking in your favor are they" Turuiemon chuckled as he picked up the pace and delivered quick slashes to Wendimon's legs before skidding between them, appearing behind the large Digimon.
Full force, you have to run faster than yesterday, that's the rules
"Little one, angers Wendimon!" Wendimon howled as he sluggishly turned around looking at where Turuiemon should have been.
Keep on moving outside your boundaries
"Wendimon makes it easy for little one" Turuiemon retorted mimicking Wendimon's slow speech pattern as he came sprinting from the left, his claws ready.
Full force, if that confidence called strength
"Club Arm!" Wendimon roared as he swung his arms forward, extending them at his elbow joints.
Floods through your body all the time, everything will turn to strength
Turuiemon jumped and continued to run on the large arms, before he jumped from the arm and into the air, he gave a quick flip before diving toward Wendimon, "Pika Sparking!" he announced before his claws made their way through Wendimon who fell to his knees before collapsing into a pile of data, being absorbed into the ground.

"Cody, are you okay?" Maya called as she and the others came running, their Partners following.
"We're just fine since Lopmon evolved" Cody grinned giving a thumbs up.
"A bit banged up, but I can go on with no problems" Turuiemon assured.
"But with all this rebuilding we might be rather late for finding that guy" Leon commented as he looked around, they were at the remains of a large square. A few fires still burning in the remaining buildings that hadn't fallen apart.
Suddenly a manic laughter echoed through the square, "Rebuilding?" a voice cackled, "That's a good one" it laughed.
"Like you can defeat the Chosen, we already beat Devimon, we can take you!" Walter declared confidently in no general direction.
The laughter stopped, "Devimon?" it questioned, "That weakling is nothing! I could beat him without breaking a sweat!" it added before breaking out in another manic laughter.
"Show yourself and I'll break that confidence!" Leon hissed angered.
"Ask and thou shall receive" the voice responded in a sarcastic tone. "Nail Bone!" echoed throughout the square and a powerful yellow beam zigzagged down from the sky crashing into Orgemon sending him to the ground before he reverted back to Impmon.
"What in the world?" Michael muttered.
"And you thought you could beat me" the voice manically laughed and a rust red flash appeared in the sky before it rocketed itself in Dark Tyrannomon, the large dinosaur crashing down into the side of a building, reverting back to his smaller black dinosaur like form, Black Agumon.
"Show yourself!" Walter yelled.
The only response was the sound of manic laughter until two words were yelled out, "Nail Bone!" and as the words were spoken, the yellow beam zigzagged down from above hitting Cyclomon who on the spot was reverted back into Gizamon.
"I'm scared" Miku muttered weakly.
"I'll protect you" DORUgamon assured looking at his partner.
"If we stick together we should manage" Maya added.
"Cute" the voice crackled before it, in a flash smashed itself into XV-Mon knocking him back to V-Mon before he crashed onto the ground, Ryan running to his side. As fast as the flash of rust red appeared it vanished.
"Great, he's hiding again" Cody grunted looking around. The sound of electricity cackled through the area.
"Nail Bone!" the manic voice laughed out as not one, but three beams fell from the sky and crashed down on the remaining Adult Level Partners, sending them back to their Child Level forms. "And you thought you could beat me" the voice cackled.
"We'll just evolve and then beat you down again!" Walter hissed.
"I think they're out of power if you ask me" the voice responded sarcastically as a large shape started to decent from above. Silver-grey boots with rust red something at the heels. Black pants of what looked to be leather going up to a piece of cloth a few shades darker than its body. A rust red skeleton body. A large black orb behind its ribcage. On its back a pair of black wings. Its head was like a skulls, the jaw was rust red like its body but everything else on the skull was black, tiny wings sticking out from the skull. In its hands a large staff, at one end parts of the staff was gripping around a yellow orb, the other end had a hook like form.
SkullSatamon, Perfect Level Digimon. Pursuing strength and destruction, it fell to the Dark Area as a Fallen Angel Digimon with its appearance a ruin of what it once was. However, its wickedness was refined even more, so that its dark powers are unfathomable. Its Digicore, concentrated with mighty powers of darkness, is the characteristic of Demon-species Digimon called the "Dark Core". Its Special Attack is Nail Bone.
"Now then, Chosen Kids" SkullSatamon laughed, slapping the staff into its other hand in a relaxed motion, walking closer to the Chosen. "Time to kill you!" he manically laughed as he held the staff above his head, the hook side at the top.
"I don't want to die!" Miku yelled, her voice cracking, filled with fear.
"Miku!" DORUmon yelled with his last ounces of strength and just then SkullSatamon swung his staff down. The deafening sound of metal meeting metal echoed, sending off a powerful gust of wind.
Standing in front of SkullSatamon, blocking the staff was Jewelbeemon, his star tipped spear locking the staff in place. Behind him, Tsukasa stood, her duster coat flapping wildly in from the wind, slapping against her legs. "Mind I show up?" she asked turning toward the Chosen with a toothy grin.
End of Chapter
!Comments!
So, Tsukasa plays a fun role at this point and some might have noticed what kind of role that is. Don't worry it's for setting up later events.
Yes, I skipped out on most of the fights in this chapter because the only relevant for moving the story was Lopmon evolving and SkullSatamon wrecking completely.
I'll admit the battle setup felt a bit like a chore because I needed reasoning for why the others weren't with Cody.
!Trivia!
SkullSatamon is loosely inspired by Kyosuke Kiryu's Dark Signer persona from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.
