Digimon Digital Monster Invasion
!Comments!
So, I finally got around writing a bit again. All these things I'm doing currently.
Oh well. Turning 19 today, the 29th, nothing at all happens.
And I have to admit, even with the end more or less fully thought out I'm still taking forever getting things out, even when I manage to find time for writing. I need to make better "storyboards" for my fics.
A frozen wasteland covering the entire surrounding area, nothing in the area is moving. The wind is silently blowing, snow dancing around.
Sitting silently is a lone hill giving a full overview of the area, on top of the hill is a single high-back chair completely made of ice.
Sitting in the chair is a single being, wearing a clear white armor and a tuff of purple hair sticking out from the being's helmet. Smashed into the ground next is what looks like a scythe. Covering the being and the scythe is a thin layer of snow.
The sound of footsteps echoes in the barren area, the sound getting louder until a single human is standing in front of the being.
"*************" the human says angered, it's a girl, wearing a thick coat that covers her body, it's hood going over her blue-tinted black hair.
The armored being seemingly reacting to whatever was said slowly it rose to its feet, the thin layer of snow falling of its white limbs. Seemingly angered the white being grabs the scythe from the ground. You can see the lower half of it had been snapped off as it have a spiked tip.
In anger the white being shouted loud, snow dripping off its throne and the human landing on her butt. Still angered the white being grips hard around the scythe and lifts it above its head.
"*********" the human begs as the scythe is swung down, a final word uttered by the girl "... Yui"
Opening Theme: Aoi Kajitsu by doa
Turn painful things into stock
And things will naturally brake themselves
Considering taking a detour, I was led astray
By the whimsical ways of playing
Of the whimsical adults
That I had forgotten to move forward
Someone's footsteps will lose concentration
And once they've caught up here
It seems they'll panic
Extract your power, with your naked desire
It's still a unsweetened blue fruit, isn't it
With your eyes closed quietly, holding a small seed
If you run out now, this thought should be conveyed
While you're completely drenched
Step on the accelerator
Smother the passion of that time
The pulse ringing highly rampages
Look, the me, from the time when I
Worked as hard as I could, has caught up
I've walked on without looking back
But while I was unaware I had been swept away by sweet temptations
Extract your power, with your naked desire
I'm a small blue fruit, isn't that right
Get out your courage; if you're satisfied
With the present reality, this thought will not be conveyed
Beginning today is what begins today
Beginning tomorrow is what begins tomorrow
If you just engrave the true new story, it's fine, right
Can you please give
Some more power to me
Don't stop coz you've been
Chasing around
Taking away the wind, this thought that I will convey
I ran from the fight, saying goodbye to seriousness
It's still a unsweetened blue fruit, isn't it
With your eyes closed quietly, holding a small seed
If you run out now, this thought should be conveyed
Can you please give
Some more power to me
It's a blue fruit you want to faintly ripen, isn't it
Don't stop coz you've been
Chasing around
Taking away the wind, this thought that I will convey!
Chapter Nineteen
Attacking, Fear, and Resolve
"So, any idea what happened?" Akane asked as she looked at Mei, the two of them sitting together with their partners inside a cave with a small fire lit in front of them, Yui sitting against the wall behind them, Lunamon next to her. All three were rather banged up after Neptunemon's attack.
"I'm not too sure" Mei admitted, "After we got hit by the wave the next thing I remember were us being here.
"Where here might be" Akane spoke softly, "We do seem to be behind a waterfall and judging by what's in here I'd guess she prepared it in a rush"
"I guess it's not all bad about her" Mei muttered, her eyes focused on the slow crackling fire.
"What do you mean?" Floramon asked a bit worried.
"When she fought Neptunemon as Dianamon..." Mei mumbled, thinking back.
Spinning the halberd in her hands Dianamon let out a small chuckle before gripping the shaft tightly, holding it horizontally in her left hand, her right reaching back to one of the rods on her back, slowly picking every single one and placing them on the shaft while new ones grew out. And grabbing another bunch. She repeated this action a couple of times.
"Wait just a minute!" Neptunemon begged.
"You were the one this content on fighting. And now you're scared?" Dianamon said mockingly as she pulled her arm back. The entire halberd covered in lined up frozen arrows.
"Yui! What are you doing?!" Mei shouted as she noticed the scene.
"Taking care of our problems" Dianamon coldly retorted as she couldn't pull her arm further back. "Now disappear! Arrow of Artemis!" she howled and her arm let go of the string sending the thirty frozen arrows soaring through the woods.
"But this isn't like you!" Akane shouted as she had followed Mei as the arrows hit Neptunemon instantly freezing him and the surrounding area solid.
"I wonder what made her like that" Mei spoke softly, it scared her having seen her kind friend act like that.
"It might be the influence of the Digital World" Floramon said, casting a glance back to Lunamon and Yui.
"Influence of the Digital World?" Akane asked, "And what would that mean?"
"Well, all Digimon have a basic instinct for how they are and react, each of our forms do not always share the same basic instinct." Floramon explained.
"Like how there's a difference between me as me, and me as Rapidmon" Terriermon added.
"Essentially a Digimon may keep the same goal, but prioritize how it is achieved differently depending on level" Floramon continued. "A Child Level like us might try to achieve it in the most simple way of dealing with a problem, either finding a temporarily solution or find a way to avoid it. However the stronger the Digimon the way of its thinking will change. So a Ultimate like Dianamon which Yui becomes together with Lunamon might seek to eliminate the problems to prevent their influence"
"And because she's also an ice based Digimon she's cold hearted" Terriermon spoke up.
"Well maybe not like that" Floramon sighed, before she continued her explanation, "However a Digimon like Dianamon is a Digimon with a two-sided personality. Sort of like the moon. There's the light side which is more often than not the mask put forward by most beings, Digimon and humans alike. However there is also the dark side. The side of yourself you do not want others to see. It's quite possible that being in the form of a Digimon inside the Digital World amplify the influence from the Digimon's instinct. And it might possibly clash with the persona inside and then force out the dark mask."
"So essentially Dianamon is made up from the clear mind of Lunamon and Yui's goals and the darker instincts of the Digimon species Dianamon?" Akane asked.
"That could be a way to put it" Floramon confirmed.
"It feels like there's still so much we haven't learned about you Digimon" Mei said casting glances at the others inside the cave.
It felt like hours passed as the only sound from the little cave was the sound of the fire and the gushing waterfall outside. Neither Digimon nor human said a single word.
Suddenly the silence was interrupted by the shrill sound of Yui shouting as she bolted into a more upright position, sweat dripping down. Shaking she slowly brought up her hand, staring at it. Her rigid breathing adding to the sound of fire and waterfall.
"Just... Just a dream" she muttered before leaning against the wall again, still breathing hard.
"Looks more like a nightmare" Akane noted as she had walked over to Yui.
"Might as well have been" Yui muttered, "At least we made it to somewhere safe" she added with a weak smile, returning to her rigid breathing.
"You shouldn't push yourself like that" Mei said voicing her concern. "Rest up"
"With Neptunemon out there I can't just rest up" Yui retorted as she tried to gain enough leverage to get back on her feet.
"How about you just take it easy until we move on" Akane suggested, "It's not like we need to move at this instant."
"Ehm.. Yeah" Yui muttered as she leaned back, still looking at her shaking hand, 'Am I that afraid of it?' she wondered.
"So... Where do we even go from here?" Mei asked out loud. "We have to get through Neptunemon and whoever he's been mentioning as his Lord."
"Well we should be able to beat him as we are right now" Terriermon said triumphantly.
"We can match him in levels" Akane noted casting a glance over at Yui.
"Uh, that's true" Yui mumbled, 'I can't tell them anything... They don't need to worry about it'
"Is there anything behind the waterfall?" a voice asked, making the three girls freeze up.
"I don't remember, check behind it" another voice replied.
"Get ready, and the moment it appears" Akane whispered to Mei as the two girls grabbed onto their Digivices', their partners just as ready.
"This time we'll protect you" Mei added.
Slowly a octopus like Digimon with red tentacles and a brown shell like thing as it's head with a small crown appeared at the cave entrance.
Octmon, Adult Level Digimon. It has a nasty habit of collecting things; the tips of its tentacles are affixed with claws obtained from a Devidramon's data, and it is clad throughout with Digi-Treasure which it gathered from the bottom of the Net Ocean. Its special attack is Roaring Sea Ink Gun.
"Hey, they're-" Octmon shouted as it pulled out its gun.
"Floramon Evolve!" Slowly Floramon's body changed, large beak helmet appeared on her face and her arms disappeared and she grew bird like legs and a small feathered body. "Kiwimon!"
"Terriermon Evolve!" his body grew bulkier and bigger, a pair of jeans on his legs. On each arm revolver barrels with mechanical hands appeared and a ammunition belt around his body. "Galgomon!"
"Dum Dum Upper!/Nose Mattock!" the two Adult Level Digimon announced as Galgomon punched Octmon while Kiwimon rammed its beak into it at the same time, sending it flying out through the waterfall.
"They're in there, after them!" the second voice from before yelled.
"We'll take care of them, just stay here" Akane said as the two girls and their evolved partners ran outside.
"I just hope we can take care of them" Mei added, feeling a bit worried. They didn't know how many Digimon were out there and what Level they were at.
"Well. We might have our work cut out for us" Galgomon noted as they finally saw the group of enemies.
"I guess this is all or nothing huh" Akane stated, "None the less, are you ready?" she added looking at Galgomon who nodded.
"Galgomon!" Slowly his body broke down into small data before it started to recreate itself, forming his large underbody, his legs growing out along with his torso. Shoulder pads attaching themselves to the torso along with his arms. On his back what looks like the two revolver arms attached together placed on his back. Finally his head grows up and forms large mechanical ears. "Super Evolve! Rapidmon!"
"So. It's mainly a group of Adult Level Digimon. And then we have that big ugly one over there" Rapidmon said pointing at a large lanky blue Digimon with white tentacles. "How they even control something like that is beyond me"
Marin Devimon, Perfect Level Digimon. A dirty fighter that even Devimon hates to fight. Though it is a subspecies of Devimon, it completely lacks all emotions but hatred due to its lonely life in the ocean depths. In order to win by any means, it won't let up with its attacks even if the opponent loses their fighting spirit. The two tentacles growing from its back each possess their own will, so they will struggle for the catch and act without permission. Its special attack is Guilty Black.
"Well, I'll focus on the Adults. Ugly is yours" Kiwimon suggested.
"I have nothing against that plan" Rapidmon said confidently, "Just be careful!" he added before blasting off towards Marin Devimon.
"That's my line" Akane muttered.
"Here we go! Rapid Fire!" Rapidmon announced as he fired multiple shots towards Marin Devimon, who took the blows full on. "This'll be easy"
Suddenly one of the white tentacles slammed Rapidmon into the ground. "I'm sorry" Marin Devimon chuckled sarcastically, "These fellows have a mind of their own. Hope you don't mind"
"You're not making it easy are you" Rapidmon grunted as he side dashed avoiding another tentacle before rushing forward slamming his armored body into Marin Devimon sending him stumbling backwards.
"Just crumble down and die for my Lord! Guilty Black!" Marin Devimon hissed, as he spat out charcoal black liquid from his mouth, Rapidmon narrowly dodging. However the mass of ink continued down to the group of Adult Digimon, covering them, and leaving them completely stiff.
"Let's not get hit by that stuff" Rapidmon noted to himself.
"My Guilty Black, the poisonous ink leaves its target paralyzed" Marin Devimon gloated, taking up Rapidmon's attention. "You shouldn't focus on me alone". As Marin Devimon finished the last sentence another tentacle shot forward sending Rapidmon flying.
"You are not making it easy" Rapidmon commented as he adjusted how he flew through the air, pointing his gun arms at Marin Devimon, "Rapid Fire!" he announced as he sent rounds of energy blasts towards the large Digimon.
"That's the best you can do?!" Marin Devimon howled as his two tentacles flew forward.
"It's enough, and to protect Akane I'll do what I need to do!" Rapidmon shouted proudly as he dodged between the tentacles, collected his legs and spread out his arms in a diagonal angle, leaving his limbs to form a triangle, "And this is what I do with my resolve to protect! Golden Triangle!" he declared as the triangle shape his body created starting glowing in a bright golden light, before it fired itself directly through Marin Devimon, leaving a triangle shaped hole in his body.
"I... I cannot lose. My Lord... Neptunemon, I... I have failed youuuu" he said before the rest of his body disintegrated.
Meanwhile Kiwimon were having her 'hands' full with the swarm of Octmons'. 'This could go badly' Kiwimon thought to herself, 'Better keep strong, for Mei'
Dodging another blast of Ink, she fired another of her Little Pecker's blowing up another of the near endless stream of squid Digimon.
"Is there no end to them" Kiwimon muttered.
"The only end that is near is yours!" Neptunemon's voice bellowed as he appeared in a torrent of water in front of Kiwimon, also destroying all the Octmon at the area. "Those weaklings couldn't even defeat one Adult Digimon, they have no right to be my servants"
"Just for that you destroyed them...!" Mei cried out, "They were still Digimon!"
"Worthless Digimon, just like those traitors that associate themselves with you." Neptunemon grunted, "It is a disgrace to be with you humans! That goes for any Digimon!" his voice declared as he slammed the trident spear into the ground. "Now where is the Olympus Digimon!?"
"That is none of your business!" Akane shouted.
"So she's still wounded from our battle" Neptunemon chuckled, "And now you cover for her, how noble"
"So you might as well give up" Mei grinned.
"Tell you what, I'll make her an offer she cannot resist" Neptunemon grinned as he snapped his fingers, and out came an army of Hangyomon, surrounding the two girls and their partners, leaving them against the rocky walls of the cliff side they were at. "Either she shows up or you are my servants dinner!"
"Aren't we going out Yui?" Lunamon spoke softly, "C'mon Yui~" she repeated tugging in Yui.
"I... But I..." Yui muttered, "It'll just end up being true. I can't let it"
"What are you talking about Yui?" Lunamon asked.
"I... I saw myself... Yet not.. And I... I!" Yui muttered weakly.
"Weren't you the one who said you were prepared for this!?" Lunamon shouted at her partner.
The two inside the cave said nothing for what felt like at least a few minutes. The only sounds coming from outside.
*Slap*
"Lunamon... You." Yui spoke softly and confused, rubbing her now aching chin.
"Is this really the resolve you have for saving your world?" Lunamon hissed at her partner, "Is one single dream enough to shatter your will. We were doing just fine together in your world! Why are you suddenly falling together when we're in mine!?"
"I.. You" Yui mumbled. "You're right" she grunted as she got on her feet, slowly walking out the cave. Now standing directly behind the waterfall.
"Let's focus on defeating Neptunemon and protecting our friends. We have to keep that as our only objective. If we for just a moment don't stay focused, the instinct of Dianamon will surface" Lunamon said, looking at her partner. "I guess you could say, we'll ride with the Devil"
"Maybe we can" Yui shrugged as he gripped onto her Digivice.
"Question is Yui" Lunamon said quietly, turning to look at Yui, "Do you have the courage to ride with the Devil?" she asked, eyes locking with Yui's.
Yui stood there, just looking into Lunamon's warm red eyes. Before softly speaking, "Matrix... Evolution!" the instant she said those words, Lunamon broke into Data and entered the Digivice before bursting out merging with Yui leaving the two as Dianamon.
"Dianamon" she announced as she grabbed onto the halberd, and burst through the waterfall, freezing it up and landing in the midst of the Hangyomon army, either sending them flying away or left frozen solid. "And I'll decide my own fate!" she declared, her eyes locking with Neptunemon's.
End of Chapter
Partner Digimon with speaking lines. Has he gone mad?!
And I am once again thickening the plot, even when we are this far in the story I throw in more things.
And while we are crawling towards the end it'll be awkward ending this story. Heck I even have the very last song I'll place in the fic ready, and it's been so for at least two months now. And I think it'll be very fitting when I get to that point and that scene in general. Especially as the song fits the upcoming end so well. Should I feel bad because I'm rambling to you about the ending that's still quite far away due to this fine pace I'm writing with currently. I think there'll probably be up to ten chapters left. Depending on how well it'll go with wrapping it up.
Also. Googling for Octmon is a pain because apparently Octomom had too much anything to make people Google for her so I actually had to add either Digimon or Wikimon to the search... Chronicles of a Writer.
Yes, the arc of cliffhangers. I estimate the split chapters will possibly be one to two chapters long and then there's the finishing parts.
