25. Chapter
Hikari no Moto Yami wa Umare, Under the Light Darkness is Born!
[Intro Theme Until The Day I Die by Story of the Year plays]
"That thing is our actuall enemy?" asked Shawn. Everyone was shocked.
"If Lucemon was hard to beat I don't want to imagine how we should beat this thing." said Terriermon. The Royal Knights, including BlackWarGreymon, ShineGreymon Burst Mode and Apollomon, confronted Ogudmon.
"We must beat him." said Alphamon. "Full Fire!"
"Let's see how you'll handle this! Shock Ringer!" Crainamon fired a sonic wave at supersonic speeds by rotating the Duo Solar Spear at high speeds.
"Black Aura Blast!" Duftmon fired explosive energy with the Sword of Destruction. The two attacks created an explosion around Ogudmon. Ogudmon then emerged from the smoke.
"Gradus!" He delivered a might kick at Crainamon and Dufmon who flied backwards, hiting the ground hardly, unable to move.
"Dragon Impulse X!" UlforceVeedramon covered self in the aura of a dragon and slashes at Ogudmon. However, the Demon Digimon just kicked him back. UlfoceVeedramon hit the ground hardly.
"Giga Crusher!" Imperiladramon inserted the Positron Laser into the dragon-face on his chest, then emited all of his body's energy as a destructive energy wave with ten times the power of "Mega Crusher".
"Corona Blaze Sword!" ShineGreymon unified his flaming shield and sword into a greatsword with explosively increased power and fired a beam at Ogudmon. But to their surpriese, Ogudmon absorbed the wave blasts.
"Catedral!" Ogudmon fired a shock-wave, strenghed by ShineGreymon's and Imperialdramon's attack. The wave knocked both Digimon down, making them de-digivoluve to Agumon and Veemon.
"Agumon!"
"Veemon!"
Marcus and Dean runned to their partners.
"Ow, that Ogudmon is strong. Stronger then Lucemon." said Agumon.
"I don't want to pull everyone down, but we have no chance." said Veemon.
"Now it's our turn! Solblaster!" Apollomon fired a scorching solar orb generated from the sphere of flames on his back.
"Dragon Breath!" Dynasmon transformed his body's energy into an aura of a gigantic wyvern and fired it at Ogudmon.
"Fist of Athena!" Crusadermon shot sonic booms from the Pile Bunker on his right arm at Ogudmon.
"Catedral!" Ogudmon fired a shock wave, destroying their attacks and hitting Apollomon, Dynasmon and Crusadermon directly.
All three de-digivoluved back to Coronamon, Wizardmon and Kotemon.
"Kotemon!"
"Wizardmon!"
"Coronamon!"
Suzie, Shawn and Noah runned to their partners to help them up.
"Crimson Light!" Gallantmon Crimson Mode fired a blast at Ogudmon to disintegrate him into into electrons with the Gungnir. However, Ogudmon escaped the attack and slammed Gallantmon with his leg. Gallantmon turned back to Guilmon and Grani and both hit the ground hardly.
"Terra Destroyer!" BlackWarGreymon fired a ball of negative energy at Ogudmon. Ogudmon roared and absorbed it, countering with a shock wave. BlackWarGreymon used his shield to dodge it, but Ogudmon slammed the warrior into the ground. BlackWarGreymon de-digivoluved to BlackAgumon.
Just as Alphamon wanted to face Ogudmon, he heard a yell from behind.
"Get out of the way!" yelled Cherubimon. Alphamon nodded. The Celestials charged up their energy.
"Holy Hug!" Cherubimon summoned a gigantic thundercloud, then drops innumerable lightning bolts on Ogudmon. "Eden's Javelin!" Ophanimon fired a beam of purifying light from her javelin.
"Hallowed Ascension!" Seraphimon Calls down powerful bolts of lightning.
The attacks hit Ogudmon directly and covered him into smoke. However, Ogudmon emerged from the smoke and jumped.
"Oratio Grandiloqua!" He delivered a kick after kick at the Celestials and with one finnal punch he sent them away. The three Celestials de-digivoluved to Gatomon, Patamon, and Lopmon.
"No way! Even the Celestials don't have any chance against it." said Haruka as she tried to help Gatomon.
"Hey!" The group turned around and saw Hikaru, Ken, Nanami, Sara, Ami, Hikaru, Swanmon, both DemiDevimons, Calumon, Elecmon, Wormmon, Lunamon and Opossumon running towards them.
"What the heck is that?" asked Ken.
"Meet Ogudmon. What are you doing here?" asked Dean.
"We were worried about you." said Hikaru.
"Then better go back if you don't wanna die." said Noah. Meanwhile Alphamon faced Ogudmon.
"I have no idea who is that warrior the prophecy is talking about, but I gotta stop you. And I will stop you!" Alphamon got covered into a cocoon like DigiEgg. He then appeared in his new form.
"Alphamon Ouryuken!"
"Alphamon Ouryuken, level mega, attribute vaccine, type Holy Knight Digimon. It is a form in which Owryumon achieved a miraculous evolution and became the Ouryuken sword, through the operation of the magic circle of DigiCode that Alphamon unleashed. Owryumon is the Mega of the experimental "Prototype Digimon" that pursued further fighting strength, and by becoming a sword, all of that fighting strength was devoted exclusively to its attacks. To swing the Ouryuken is to wield all of the power contained within a Mega Digimon, so to speak, so it isn't a sword that can be swung by an average Digimon, and there aren't any average Digimon that can take the blow." read Nanami on her D-Power.
"Well, if he dosen't beat Ogudmon, no one will." said Takuto.
"I doubt he'll beat Ogudmon. The Warrior is a Digimon with Origin's of Darkness, but he serves the Light." said Arisa.
"We'll, it's worth a try." said Guilmon.
"I hope that this shot will bring me victory." Alphamon Ouryuken charged up his energy, putting it into the sword. " Ultimate-Battle-Blade-OURYUKEN!"
He swung the mighty sword at Ogudmon.
"This time you'll gonna die!" yelled Alphamon. But before he could hit Ogudmon, the Demonic Digimon jumped and fired a shock wave at Alphamon.
"Gradus!" He delivered a kick at Alphamon who then flied backwards, hiting the ground hardly and turned into his normal form.
"That's bad." said Arisa.
"Now it's mine turn." said Beelzemon.
"No, you can't. You have no chance against him!" said Arisa. "I don't wanna lose you!"
"Ari,..." Beelzemon sighed. "Remember this part of the prophecy: 'No one will survieve,/everyone shall die.' It meant the Demon Lords. None of the members will survive this battle."
Before Arisa could protest, Beelzemon flied upwards to confront Ogudmon. This time, the Forgotten Monster didn't attack. Instead, it started to speak.
"Greetings, Demon Lord of Gluttony." said Ogudmon.
"What do you want?" asked Beelzemon.
"I am here to finish a task. I am here to destroy the Demon Guardians and the Crest Keepers." said Ogudmon.
"Demon Guardians?" asked Beelzemon in surprise. Arisa was also surpriesed.
"Crest Keepers?" she was sure she heard that before.
"Yesss, and I see you have passed your test, but your little Crest Keeper didn't. To your sorrow." said Ogudmon.
"How do you mean it?" asked Beelzemon.
"Oh, so they didn't explain you. That are good news." said Ogudmon and turned to the Tamers and their Digimon. "You fools made my job easier by destroying the Demon Lords." he turned back to Beelzemon. "Which means I only have to destroy their DigiEggs once I'm finished with you. And then I'm gonna destroy the Crest Keepers."
"Over my dead body. Corona Destroyer!" Beelzemon drew a pentagram and fired a blast at Ogudmon.
"Catedral!" Ogudmon fired a shock-wave at Beelzemon's blast. The two collided in an explosion and Ogudmon kicked Beelzemon away. He managed to somehow block his fall with his wings, but he did hit the ground, turning to his orginal form.
"Beelzemon!" yelled Arisa in dismay. She runned over to the partner. "Ow, what should we do now?"
"I have no idea Arisa." replied Beelzemon, as he tried to get up. "We need some power bust."
Arisa lowered her head. She had no idea what to do. The only thing which echoed in her head were Azulongmon's and Ogudmon's words about her test. She got an idea.
"If I need to pass a test, then I'll do it right now. This is the best time to see what miracle it'll bring." said Arisa. She heard a giggle behind and saw a bright light.
As she opened her eyes she found herself in a dark black room with a black marble floor. She looked to her right side and noticed her reflection on the wall. She was surprised as she saw that her eyes turned bloody red and fangs poped out of her mouth. Her nails were colored black and sharpned, like claws. On her chest was the mark of the Crest of Gluttony.
"What the-?" she looked around. "Hey, is anybody here?"
Suddenly she twitched and turned around. Her eyes wided as she saw Beelzemon kneeling in front of her. She blinked in surprise.
"You want to get stronger, don't you? Kill me and load my power." said Beelzemon.
In Arisa's hands formed a spear. She suddenly felt a power lust and wanted to do just like Beelzemon instructed her. She held the spear, ready to threw it. The desire of becoming stronger was strong and called for her.
However, something didn't let her do that.
"What am I doing?" she lowerd the spear. "There's no way that I'm gonna kill my own partner."
She blinked as Beelzemon dissapeared and she turned around and saw the Crest of Gluttony, shining in a green light. She threw the spear at the Crest shattering it like a glass into milion pieces.
"Now what?" she turned back to the mirror and saw that her demonic features dissapeared. She looked again normal.
"Congrants!"
Arisa jumped and turned around and saw a little girl. Her eyes wided in confusion. The girl looked exactly like she was when she was 5 years old.
"Okaaaay...Thanks." said Arisa, looking at the girl. She had brown hair, binded in pigtails with black ribbons, a purple T-shirt and a black dress which was similar to Ai's dress from Digimon Tamers and black-white sneakers. On her chest was a mark which looked like a heart with a black and a white angel wing. She also had a purple armband with a small screen. "Who are you?"
"I'm Shinzui, onee-chan." said Arisa's 5 year old copy.
"I'm not your big sister. I even don't have siblings." said Arisa.
"So what? Didn't you wish a little sister?" said Shinzui.
"Yeah, before I met Impmon." said Arisa.
"So, what. I'm now your little sister. Little twin sister." said Shinzui.
"Okay, can you please explain me what's going on here?" asked Arisa. "But first, how does it come that I'm glaring into a five year old copy of me?"
"Remember Azulongmon's words, that you'll get a guide. I'm your guide." said Shinzui. "I'm the Spirit of Balance in the DigiWorld and the DigiGnomes made me to help you."
"Why did they then choose me to made you?" asked Arisa, sweatdropping.
"Maybe because your Crest is Balance." said Shinzui. "Got it? I'm the Spirit of Balance, you have the Crest of Balance."
"Did they really had to use my appearance?"
"The DigiGnomes ain't that imaginative like humans. That's why they grant wishes." said Shinzui, rolling with her eyes.
"Ok, ok, I get it. Wait a sec, did you say Crest of Balance?" Arisa looked at Shinzui who gave her a golden Tag (similar to the one from Digimon Adventure) with a Crest. On the other side of the Tag was the mark of the Crest of Gluttony. The Crest of Balance looked like a red heart with a thunder inside the heart. On the right side of the heart was a white angel wing and on the left side was a black angel wing. The Crest had a dark purple backround.
"Let me explain you, onee-chan. You and Beelzemon were one of the choosen who had to pass a test. Beelzemon passed his when he turned first time to his Blast Mode." said Shinzui.
"Yeah, I remember that. I told him that loading data of other Digimon won't make him stronger, but believing into his inner power will." said Arisa.
"That's right. You both defeaded the Crest of Gluttony which means that you became a Crest Keeper and Beelzemon a Demon Guardian, or Demon Warrior." said Shinzui. "Of course, there also exist other Demon Guardians and Crest Keepers."
"You mean the other Demon Lords? So, Akari is a Crest Keeper too?" asked Arisa.
"Yes. When the time comes, you'll have to find the other Virtue Crests just as their Crest Keepers. Ogudmon is only a servant to the actuall evil which was sealed away behind the Gate." said Shinzui. "He's here to destroy the Demon Guardians and their Crest Keepers, because only you and the other Chosen can defeat the Dark Lord."
"Okay." Something clicked in Arisa's head. "Wait, you wanna say that Beelzemon is the warrior from the prophecy?"
Shinzui nodded.
"Yes, and he needs now your help. To activate your Crest, you only have to say 'Crest of Balance Activate'. And keep it on mind, the Demon Lord's must be in their orginal forms if they want to reach their Warrior Mode. And watch out. The Crest will make your partner powerfull, but the Virtue Crests are Holy Relicts. Beelzemon won't hold long his Mode and it could end deadly for him." Shinzui warned.
"I know. Demons and holy things don't go together." said Arisa.
[Shinka Theme x4B, The Guardian by Digimon Xros Wars plays]
"Okay, now go. We'll meet soon again." said Shinzui. Arisa nodded.
"Bye, Shin-chan." she said.
Soon, Arisa found herself back at the battle field. Beelzemon looked confused at Arisa's Crest.
"What's that?" he asked.
"I managed to pass my test." said Arisa. "So ready to beat Ogudmon?"
"I am!" said Beelzemon.
"Crest of Balance activate!"
CREST DIGIVOLUTION!
"Beelzemon, Mode Change to..."
Beelzemon got covered in a coocon like DigiEgg. Armor and a new blaster appeared on him, just as a pair of black-purple wings.
"Beelzemon Warrior Mode!"
[A/N: Just imagine Beelzemon from Digimon Xros Wars. ^^]
Beelzemon flied towards Ogudmon. Everyone glared at him in shock.
"Is that Beelzemon?" asked Haruka.
"He turned into a warrior!" exclaimed Suzie.
"Seems like we do have now a chance against Ogudmon!" said Akari. Arisa smirked.
"A Sin will turn to a Virtue./ The Balance will be brough back./ A Warrior will be born./ Despite his Origins of Darkness,/he will serve the Light..." Arisa whispered the prophecy.
Beelzemon aimed his Death Slinger SDX at Ogudmon.
"Damn, that little girl managed to pass her test!" hissed Ogudmon.
"That's right and now meet your doom!" Beelzemon colected all his energy into one shot. "Death The Cannon!"
He fired a powerfull green blast at Ogudmon.
"Catedral!" Ogudmon countered with a shock wave. Both Digimon struggled.
"And destroy the Eternal Enemy." Arisa finished and her Crest glew in greater light. "Go, Beelzemon Warrior Mode!"
Beelzemon proved to be much stronger then Ogudmon. His blast went right through the demonic Digimon.
"Darkness Claw!" Beelzemon slashed through Ogudmon. With a finnal yell, Ogudmon faded away into data particles. Beelzemon then went back to Arisa. Everyone around cheered happily. The battle had finnaly reached it's end.
"Well done." said Arisa.
"Thanks, but without you, I would never reach my next level." said Beelzemon. Arisa blinked as she saw that her partner's legs started to part up and slowly fade away into data particles. She started to tear.
"Don't cry. I'll come back." said Beelzemon.
"No please." Arisa pleaded. She cried as she watched her partner fading away.
"I promise, I'll come back, Ari-chan."
That were his last words. His data reformed into a black-purple DigiEgg with the Crest of Balance on the top. Then his DigiEgg dissapeared.
"NO!" Arisa let out a cry. Everyone who cheered, glared sadly at Arisa. They all knew one thing.
A great Warrior had fallen.
