Still not mine! I want to own digimon... 'sulks in corner'
Beyond humanity
Chapter 21
"Lightning Javelin!" Joe's cry echoed through the room as an arc of lightning jumped from his hands, electrocuting the Dokugumon surrounding him. It took Joe a second or two to realize just what had happened.
Luckily for him the Dokugumon stopped moving as well as they saw the crimson lizard standing there, sparks of electricity flowing over his hands.
"Wicked." Joe said in awe, before turning to the enemies surrounding Mimi and Kari. With newfound precision he fired a lightning blast at them, turning the pile of spiderlike digimon into dust and leaving Mimi and her protégé unscathed.
"Wow." Mimi said as she too realized what had just happened. "Are you okay?" Joe asked.
"We're fine, thank you." Mimi said as she looked down to make sure Kari was still in her arms.
"Don't thank me yet." Joe said as he dodged a swipe from a pissed off Dokugumon. "There's still about a million more of these guys."
"Attack! Overwhelm him!" The apparent leader yelled, realizing that the only way they'd win was by overwhelming Joe with their sheer numbers, even though they had just been reduced by at least a dozen.
One of the spiders jumped at Joe. Joe had to bend in a near impossible way to dodge the poisonous fangs that were aimed at his neck, only for him to have to turn around to dodge another pair of wickedly sharp claws, courtesy of the Dokugumon that snuck up to him from behind.
"I can't keep this up!" Joe yelled, firing thunderbolt after thunderbolt at the spiders, destroying some but only scaring off most of them. Unfortunately those quickly regained their courage and tried for another swipe.
Meanwhile, one floor above them
"Do you guys hear that?" Gatomon asked. "Hear what?" Tai asked, looking around him to find any potential source of sound. The linen closet they just left probably wasn't it.
"The Dokugumon dummy!" Gatomon yelled, kneeling down and pressing her ears to the ground. "They're right below us now. They stopped moving" Gatomon said. "I think they cornered our friends."
"Right below us?" Tai asked, getting a nod from Gatomon. "Good." He turned to the blade in his hands. "Think you can cut through the floor?"
"You just don't get it, do you?" The sword asked angrily. "I AM FROSTMOURNE!!"
"Sure you are." Tai rolled his inexistent eyes and plunged the sword into the floor. With one fierce slash he ripped open the steel plates that made up the floor, tearing them apart as if they were made of tissues.
Joe and most of the Dokugumon looked up when the heard the shrieking noise that steel made when being cut open. The red fish man hadn't expected to see a huge knife cutting up the ceiling but there it was. Perhaps Tai or maybe even Matt had found some kind of mythical Swiss army knife?
After all, he had found a gun that fired life chickens, so why not a can opener the size of a surfboard?
Tai wrung the sword around, making an opening big enough for him to fit through, before pulling Frostmourne out of the floor again. "Joe!" He yelled as he saw the Megaseadramon hybrid stand below them. It didn't take him long to recognize Joe. After all, who else would look like a huge sea serpent with limbs?
"Tai? Is that you?" Joe looked up to see a skeleton peeking through a hole in the roof. "Oh man you don't know how glad I am to see you!" Joe dodged another swipe of a Dokugumon. "Mind lending a hand?"
"No problem Joe!" Gomamon yelled. "How the hell are we going to get down there?" Tai asked. "We can't exactly go looking for a staircase."
"Simple Tai, you fly down there!" Gomamon said, pointing at the wing like extensions. "Oh hell no!" Tai yelled, backing away from the seal. "I can't fly! I've never flown before!"
"Sure you can." Agumon said. "I have utmost faith in you!"
"Maybe you do but I don't!" Tai flailed his arms around. "Come on, it's easy!" Agumon said, flapping his arms up and down, as if they were wings. Off course that didn't do much for Tai.
Gomamon sighed and whispered to Gatomon. "Looks like it's time to play mama-bird." Before Gatomon could ask what he meant by that, he paddled off.
Gomamon calmly dodged Tai's flailing arms and tail, stood behind Tai and gave him a good shove, sending Tai spiraling down to the ground, screaming all the way.
Gatomon, Agumon and Palmon sweatdropped. "That usually works." Gomamon raised his paws in defence.
"Not this time." Palmon stated bluntly.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhh!!" Tai yelled from the top of his 'lungs' as he spiraled down to meet a floor made up almost entirely of Spider digimon.
"Time to make yourself useful." Tai said inwardly to his wings, trying to find out whatever it was that made them move.
About five meters above the ground Tai managed to spread his wings, and somewhat cushion his blow. Still hurt like hell though…
"Ouch." Tai whined as he picked himself off of the floor. "You okay Tai?" Joe asked, before sending a thundershock at a Dokugumon that tried to attack Tai from behind.
"I'm okay." Tai said, before slamming his sword into a Dokugumon. "I landed on something soft."
"Ouch." The leader Dokugumon complained from the floor. Tai had crushed him nicely into a pancake.
"What the hell happened to you?" Joe asked as he flash fried another Dokugumon, leaving it there to burn out. "I can ask you the same thing!" Tai yelled as he brought down Frostmourne's wrath upon yet another Dokugumon's head.
"But let's save the small talk for later!" Tai yelled as a Dokugumon sunk its fangs into Tai's right arm, only for them to chip and break off. "Not so tasty, am I?" Tai mocked the spider, who was now flat-out on his back.
"Just how many of them are there?" Tai asked, standing back to back with Joe. "No idea, I lost count around seventy." The mass of spiders had grown considerably since they first encountered it.
"Damn. Hey guys! We could use a hand!" Tai yelled up at the hole. "Working on it!" Gomamon yelled as Palmon suddenly dropped through the hole. Tai sweat dropped, thinking they had thrown her through the hole as well.
Surprise and a bit of anger filled him as he suddenly saw her fingernails extend into thick purple vines, grasping at whatever she could grab on to. A moment or two later she was down on the floor, with Agumon and Gomamon sliding down the vines after her. Gatomon just jumped down on her own, landing on all four feet.
"Couldn't you have lowered me like that as well?!" Tai had a tick mark above his eye as he swung Frostmourne around dangerously.
"Hey! It was a spur of the moment thing." Gomamon waved Tai off and turned around. "Get over it."
"One of these days." Tai swore. "I'd offer to eat his soul but I don't eat the sarcastic ones." Frostmourne stated. "They leave a rather nasty aftertaste."
"Did that thing just talk?" Joe asked, looking warily at the sword.
"Explain later!" Tai yelled as a wall of Dokugumon almost crashed down upon the two of them. "Oh hell no!" Gomamon yelled, glowing gold in colour all of a sudden.
"Gomamon digivolves to... Ikkakumon!"
Palmon, Agumon and Gatomon quickly followed his example.
"Gatomon digivolves to... Angewomon!"
"Palmon digivolves to... Togemon!"
"Agumon warp digivolves to..."
Soon the massive forms of Togemon, Ikkakumon and Angewomon towered over the Dokugumon.
Ikkakumon immediately moved forward and rammed into the wall of spiders that was heading towards Tai and Joe. The wall immediately fell apart once Ikkakumon used his massive body to break down the foundation of said crawling wall.
"Joe! Where's Kari?" Angewomon looked around frantically. She had promised something to herself and that was to protect Kari as long as she could. For the moment she wasn't exactly keeping that promise.
"There!" Joe yelled, pointing at Mimi. Apparently the Dokugumon had learned something: touch the girls and get vaporised by an angry Joe. So they decided to avoid her and take down Joe first.
Angewomon immediately took to the air and lifted Mimi and Kari away from the swarm, taking them to the walls of the room, where no Dokugumon were.
Meanwhile Tai was trying to get closer to Agumon. For some reason, he hadn't digivolved to WarGreymon. He just stood there, a silver shell around him. As if he was trapped inside an egg of sorts.
"Agumon!" Tai yelled, doing his best to get closer to the egg. "Can you hear me?" A strong gust of wind formed around the dome, shredding the floor underneath them and sending shrapnel flying. Tai instinctively shielded his face but he pushed forward.
"There's something going on with Agumon!" Togemon yelled, squishing a spider that crawled on one of the walls, leaving a nice stain there.
"No, really?" Ikkakumon said, acting all surprised. You'd have to be blind, not to notice such an obvious thing.
Tai continued to struggle. He fought against the shredding gusts coming off of Agumon's shell.
"Agumon!" He threw himself forward, desperate to find out what the hell was going on with his friend, desperate to reach to his friend. After all, he had always been there for him, hadn't he? Time to return the favor.
Almost immediately, as Tai's hand came in contact with the dome it popped, like a soap bubble. The wind died down and the airborne shrapnel fell back to the ground.
A silver shape stepped out of the crater that had formed.
"What happened?" Mimi asked, opening her eyes just a little bit to see what all the commotion was about.
"He digivolved." Angewomon stated.
"But into what?" Togemon asked.
"BlackWarGreymon!" The light disappeared, showing the new custom paintjob that Agumon had. Where the old-fashioned WarGreymon had orange skin and yellow armour, this one was coloured a deep midnight black colour, with black armour. The crest of courage still adorned his split shield, only now it looked as if it had been carved into the steel before liquid silver had been poured into it.
"What happened to you?" Tai asked.
"I have no idea." BlackWarGreymon spoke, his gruff voice sounding throughout the entire room. "Something... It almost felt as if my digital code was being deleted as I digivolved." He said. "But then something happened. I returned to the light and became like this."
"But enough of that!" He yelled, grinding his claws against each other, scaring off the less courageous Dokugumon. "It's showtime!"
BlackWarGreymon crouched down, preparing to jump toward the ceiling, staying put about a meter under the rip that Tai made.
"Terra destroyer!" His twin claws held above his head he started the process of collecting negative energy, which was surprisingly easy, seeing the condition the digital world was in.
BlackWarGreymon tossed the huge ball of negative energy at the Dokugumon.
Now at this point, even the most stupid of them Dokugumon managed one thought. 'Oh f***'
That was the last thing that went through their minds as they were wiped off of the face of the Digital world.
"Run like hell!" One of the few survivors yelled. Though Dokugumon are very stubborn, they still know when they should act like a tree and get the hell out of there!
"That... that was kinda cool." Ikkakumon said as the Dokugumon fled. "How deep do you think that bowling ball from hell went?" He pointed a paw at the hole that BlackWarGreymon had made with his ultimate attack.
"No idea." Tai said. "But I hope it took a lot of linen closets with it." Oh linen closet, how I loathe thee!
"Don't you think that all went a bit too fast? I wanted to knock the lights out of a few more of them! Give them the old one-two." Togemon practiced her jabs against her own shadow. Fly like a Flymon, sting like a Togemon indeed...
"Joe, where's Kari?" Tai had obviously not forgotten about his baby sister. While he may not have acted like it earlier, he was worried sick. But the best way to help her then, was to kick major Dokugumon thorax.
"She's right here." Mimi said softly. Tai immediately rushed over to the wall where she, Kari and Angewomon stood.
"Is she okay?" He asked as he tossed Frostmourne to the ground, getting a few curse words from the spirit inhabiting the blade.
"I think so." Mimi said, looking down at the angelic girl that had latched on to her. "She was just so scared." She softly stroked Kari's hair.
"Can I...?" Tai asked, desperate to hold his baby sister in his arms, only then he'd be 100 percent sure she was safe.
Mimi nodded, taking Kari's arms out from around her and lifted the light girl up to hand her to her brother. Almost immediately Kari latched on to her brother, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"She's so afraid of spiders." Tai explained. "I think it all started with that huge eight legged thing that crawled on her teddy bear when she was two." Tai laughed a bit nervously. He was just glad to have his sister with him again. After all, he was her big brother. He was supposed to be around to protect her from stuff like this.
"Thank you." Tai said. "For protecting her."
"Oh it's nothing." Mimi blushed, which was rather visible on her pale skin.
"Tai?" A soft whisper was heard. "Is it really you?"
"It's me all right." Tai said to his little sister. "I was so scared." Kari whispered. "It's all right, I'm here now."
"Mimi saved me back there." Kari said, looking up at her brother. "I know, and I don't know how I can ever repay her for that."
"Oh there's no need...
"Buy her diner!" Ikkakumon yelled, interrupting a beautiful moment, earning him gazes from all digimon. "What? You know that those two would take ages to get together. I'm just playing matchmaker."
"That would be nice actually." Mimi said softly.
Meanwhile on the digimon side of the room.
"This almost like those soaps Mimi always watches in the human world." Togemon said. "Anyone bring popcorn?"
"So this turned into a soap? Shouldn't we watch out for Tai's evil twin brother or something like that?" BlackWarGreymon asked himself. "You know, with the evil moustache and all?"
"No that already happened in season 3 eh I mean Puppetmon's forest." Angewomon said.
"Oh right." BlackWarGreymon remembered.
"I can't believe it." Joe slumped to the floor. "Barely two weeks in the real world and you're all corrupted."
"Cheer up Joe, could have been worse." Ikkakumon said, scrapping Joe off of the floor with his horn. "How?" Joe asked, hanging from Ikkakumon's horn.
"We could all have been watching American idol." Ikkakumon stated bluntly.
"Good point." Joe said, allowing himself to slip of Ikkakumon's horn and onto the floor.
"Let's get going." Tai said, his plans to take Mimi out when they returned home somewhat solid. "We all need some place to rest." Kari had already fallen asleep, exhausted by all that had happened.
"Hooray!" Joe yelled. "Serious, I feel like a used battery." The adrenaline had started to recede and now Joe felt the drain that his light show had caused.
"Joe, I sincerely doubt a 'battery' could do something like that." The newly dedigivolved Gomamon pointed at the one remaining Dokugumon, who was currently still sizzling from the flash frying he got from Joe earlier.
"Sure." Joe said, feeling a bit proud of himself. After all, at least now he had been useful for a change, saving not only himself but Kari and Mimi as well.
"Hey Tai, don't forget this thing!" Tai had almost made his way to the door already, forgetting his sword. Off course Joe couldn't blame him. If one of his brothers had been in danger he'd forget about it as well.
As Joe reached for the sword an eerie laugh filled the room. "Ooh nice, sushi!" Immediately Joe backed away from the sword as if it had burned his hands. "That thing actually talks!?!" He had heard it complain before but thought of it as just an adrenaline fuelled illusion.
"And doesn't appreciate being called a 'thing' at all. I am Frostmourne! Thousands upon thousands have fallen before me!"
"Yeah-yeah-yeah." Tai rolled his non-existent eyes as he took a few steps towards the sword. "You said that all before. Guys, this is Frostmourne. He says he's an all powerful blade but I believe he just has a really big ego." Frostmourne actually turned red at that statement.
"Foolish half creature!" Frostmourne yelled out. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't destroy you where you stand?!?"
"Because you can't wield yourself as a sword, because you are one yourself?" Tai asked as innocently sounding as he could, which wasn't very innocent at all.
"Blasted!" Frostmourne's voice was heard throughout the base.
"I will not stand for this! I may be your ally now but if you don't start showing me proper respect, I'll make sure to destroy you one way or the other." The last bit was grumbled as Mimi stepped to the blade.
"Tai's right, you do have a huge ego." Mimi said as she stood next to the blade. "Demanding respect like that." She continued. "Start by acting a bit more civilised and don't threaten people with their oncoming demise. Maybe then we'll threat you properly, do you understand?" She pointed at he blade, red energy forming on her fingernails.
"Yes ma'am." Unbelievable but true. If there's one thing (of a near inexistent list!) that Frostmourne fears its angry vampires.
"Good." Mimi said. "If there's one thing I hate is people who think highly of themselves without proper reason."
Mimi then picked up the sword at the hilt. She couldn't hold it entirely so she just dragged it along.
"Hey that hurts!" Frostmourne complained as Mimi dragged him along the ground, over bumps, cracked floor panels and the remains of the chicken gun.
"Hey Joe, a strange question perhaps but I need to know." Mimi asked as she walked next to Joe as Tai took them through the hallways, looking for a suitable resting spot.
"What the hell was up with yelling out 'I'm making darn sure the sun does come up!' all of a sudden?" Mimi referred to the point where Joe suddenly digivolved, or at least something like it.
Normally Joe would have been embarrassed to find out he had actually yelled that out but not anymore.
"That." He started. "Is a promise I made. Not just to my brothers, parents or anyone else back home but to myself."
Mimi nodded and actually feeling a bit bad for making fun off Joe back home, when he had pronounced his promise.
"Hey, I found someplace to crash!" Tai 's voice was heard clearly in front of them.
"You actually found a..." Joe started as he walked into the room. "Linen closet?" He was about to say bed room, or perhaps even kitchen. But linen closet?
"Yeah." Tai said sheepishly. "They're everywhere. But at least they make better resting places then the other rooms."
"Doesn't really matter." Mimi said, allowing Frostmourne to fall to the ground. "As long as it's a bit comfortable." She sat down on a pile of towels. "Not bad actually."
"Sure." Joe said. "Now al we need is some diner. I don't suppose you can find a kitchen as well?"
"Already did." Tai said as he too sat down, Kari still held close to his chest. "Who of you guys has the bag?"
"I got it!" Palmon yelled out, pulling a bag out of nowhere. "I thought of getting it down as well after defeating all those digimon."
"Like I was saying, we found a kitchen and decided to bring some food for you guys as well." Tai said.
"After all of you stuffed your faces while you were there, didn't you?" Mimi said as she reached for a piece of chicken. Their great escape had drained of nearly all her strength, so it felt good to finally be able to eat something.
"Only a little bit." Gomamon claimed, holding his claws an inch or so apart as to demonstrate how little.
"Plus we found out how Tai eats." BlackWarGreymon said. He was the only one that hadn't dedigivolved. He feared that he might not find the strength to digivolve again were they to run into Machinedramon's cronies. Or worse, Machinedramon himself.
Mimi and Joe stopped half way through their diner. "What?"
"We found out where the food goes after he eats it!" Gomamon said proudly.
"Eh..." Joe was at a loss for words. He hadn't really paid any attention to how Tai ate. "You don't have an oesophagus." He stated after observing Tai for a few minutes.
"Or any other internal organs." Tai rolled his imaginary eyes.
"I know but how..." Joe was at a total loss here. Tai sighed and decided to demonstrate. He picked up an apple, one of the last ones in the bag and ate it.
"So... where do you think that apple went?" Mimi asked, looking at the floor underneath Tai, positive that it should have fallen to the ground.
"No idea." Gatomon said, her ears lying flat in defeat. "He eats it and it disappears." She snapped her fingers. "Just like that."
"And who knows where it ends up?" Palmon asked, raising her shoulders in question.
"Perhaps, to a dimension very similar to our own, where people still live, following their way of the ninja!" Tai yelled out. "Or perhaps nowhere." He said as everyone looked at him strangely.
"Hey Tai." Mimi started all of a sudden. "Where did you get those wings? Last time we saw you, you didn't have them. Or that egocentric toothpick either." She glared at the sword, that actually managed to move half an inch away from her.
"Shouldn't we wait till Kari wakes up to start telling stories?" Gatomon asked. Kari was still sound asleep in her brother's arms. Or so it would seem.
"Oh she's been awake for some time now." Tai said. "She's just to lazy to let go of me."
"Am not." A soft voice came from the wings wrapped around Tai. "See?"
"And I think it's time you let go off me again, cause you're crushing my ribs." Tai chuckled. Kari did let go of her brother, leaving the safety of his arms as he know knew nothing could happen to her anymore. If Mimi had been an artist she would have wanted to paint such a scene. It was a weird, yet beautiful fusion of dark and light.
Gatomon immediately pounced Kari when she stood on the floor firmly. "Kari, I'm so sorry.." She said. "I promise I'll never let you out of my sight again."
Kari just patted the cat digimon on the head and reassured her that everything was fine.
"But I'm keeping you to that promise." Tai said, looking Gatomon straight in the eyes. "Whenever I'm not around, look after my sister, okay?"
Gatomon nodded fiercely. There was no way in hell that she'd ever allow anyone to hurt the first creature that had been nice to her.
"Now that that's settled, I'll tell you about what happened after SkullBalucimon attacked me." Tai started to tell the story, from start till end, leaving a few details out of it. He didn't really want to traumatise his friends. He told them how he stole Mephistomon's bones, how he took Frostmourne from its resting place and found dozens upon dozens of linen closets.
"Wow." Joe said. "Wow is the only way to describe that." Mimi continued. "Why does an evil mastermind like Machinedramon need so many linen closets?"
"I don't know." Tai said, a bit confused by the fact that Mimi only paid attention to the part of the linen closets. "But I intend to ask him when we meet. But doesn't all this freak you out?"
"The linen closets? A bit-
"No!" Tai stood up. "Not the freaking linen closets! The fact that I killed that digimon for such a reason." Off course Tai had deleted many digimon just earlier but Mephistomon was still different.
"Not at all." Mimi said, once Tai calmed down again. "Do you want us to be freaked out or something?"
"No, it's just." Tai sighed and sat down again. "I just can't grasp the thought that I'm capable of doing such a thing."
"Relax Tai." Joe stood up and patted the boy on the back. "We don't judge you. Just refrain from stealing my bones."
Mimi laughed. "Why on earth would Tai want your bones?"
"Hey!" Joe complained. "I'll have you know that these are high quality bones!"
"Is Joe trying to sell himself or something?" Palmon asked Gomamon. "Not entirely sure." Gomamon said. "But if Tai shows up later with a bunch of fish bones as a left arm, I'll want some answers."
"Trust me, Joe's bones are safe." Tai said as Joe still rattled on about his 'awesome' bone structure.
That was till he was interrupted by an explosion that shook the entire base like a martini, 'shaken, not stirred.'
"What's going on?" Kari asked as she tried to keep steady on the shaking floor. "Feels like world war 3 has just erupted." Joe said from the floor before he picked himself up.
"We've got to get out of here." Tai went into 'leader' mode and guided everyone into the hallway again. "If we stay any longer we might get crushed by falling debris."
True to Tai's word the ceiling began to give way, steel plates falling from the sky as if they were rain.
"Aah!" Joe barely dodged a plate heading his way. "That was way too close." He said, his heart racing.
"Watch out!" A huge steel support beam dropped from the ceiling, intend on crushing Gatomon, kari and Palmon into digital goo.
Palmon closed her eyes, not wanting to actually see her early demise rushing at her.
'clang!'
"Are you three okay?" A deep voice asked. Palmon opened her eyes to see BlackWarGreymon towering over her, with the girder bent around him.
"We owe you one." Gatomon said as she quickly crawled out from under the beam, dragging Kari with her.
"Not at all." BlackWarGreymon said as he threw the girder away. "Let's just hurry up and get away."
Mimi quickly grabbed Palmon as she'd be too slow to follow with her stubby legs and followed Tai towards any possible exit.
Meanwhile, outside.
"Looks like our plan backfired a bit." Izzy said, looking at the destruction the deadly duo was causing. Megadramon and Gigadramon were levelling the city before their very eyes.
It didn't take Izzy long to realise what had been happening every time he logged in to Machinedramon's network. Every time he had betrayed their location to Machinedramon's followers, allowing them to send their troops after them.
Flashback
"I think I figured it out." Izzy said. "Every time I log into Machinedramon's network, I allow them inside my laptop as well. And thus I reveal our location every time." He said, bowing his head in shame.
"You've been doing what?!?" Matt yelled out, trying to get to Izzy to beat the crap out of his armoured shell. Luckily for Izzy, Sora had a good grip on Matt.
"Matt, calm down." She said soothingly to the wolf digimon. "He didn't do it on purpose you know."
"That's right." Tentomon said. "It could have happened to anyone."
Matt visibly calmed down and Sora let go off him. "Fine, but don't you dare to log in again." He warned Izzy. "Oh and also..."
'smack!'
'crack!'
Matt introduced his fist to Izzy's horned face. Only problem was that Izzy's curved horn was made out of the same stuff that made up most of his body, which was incredibly strong. So in the end all it did was break Matt's fist...
TK initially refused to heal it, as it was Matt's punishment 'for being a bully!' Was how TK phrased it, but eventually he did it anyway. Kid has a way to big heart.
End flashback
So there they were, Izzy's plan to use Machinedramon's plan against them had backfired as the entire city was being levelled. They had to move fast, before thy too dissapeared into the rubble of what was once a great city.
Elsewhere.
"Hey did you order Megadramon and Gigadramon to destroy the entire city?" Hagurumon 1 asked. "I thought you did that." His companion stated.
"Wait. If you didn't order them and I didn't order them, then who did?" Hagurumon scratched his metal head in confusion.
"I did." A booming voice sounded throughout the command room.
"Oh b-b-boss? Is that you?" Hagurumon 1 panicked. The boss had been listening in on them all this time?!
"Who else you stuttering pile of bolts?!" Machinedramon yelled through the intercom. "I know how you lost the digidestined again and again, so I ordered Gigadramon and Megadramon to level the entire city."
"Wow! Good idea boss!" Hagurumon 2 tried to soothe Machinedramon's rage a bit.
"Remind me to cut the two of you up into scrap when I get back to the base." Machinedramon stated, no emotion to his voice. Both Hagurumon gulped. "S-s-sure thing boss." Hagurumon managed to utter. "When will you return?"
The charred ground of what was once a beautiful city trembled as a huge draconic creature walked through the once mighty gates. "Right. Now."
Machinedramon had returned home.
Finally! A new chapter! Took me long enough though. Oh well...
And yes, almost no Matt-Izzy-Sora-TK in this chapter but I could barely fit them in. I even tried fitting in the whole 'hospital' scene but it just wouldn't work! Bu they'll be back next chapter, as we march towards Machinedramon to stop him once and for all... I don't really want to kill Machinedramon... I like him!
Also, everyone happy now? I put in BlackWarGreymon!
