Yay! The other fight!
"Execute, Spirit Evolution, Lobomon!"
"JagerLoewemon!"
"Pyro Blaster!" before the others could Spirit Evolve, Growlmon spit an enormous blaze from his mouth, surrounding them with fire and preventing their escape even as Digimon.
"Lobomon, give me back my Spirits!" René shouted at Koji, and as he got out is D-Tector, Growlmon reached into a bag he was carrying and pulled out what looked like a completely black D-Tector surrounded by a shadowy aura. Growlmon aimed his D-Tector at Lobomon's, creating a beam of light that disappeared after a few seconds.
"What did you do?" Lobomon shouted. "And what is that?"
"This is similar to your D-Tector, except it's called a Darkness Scanner. It functions pretty much the same, but it has the power to corrupt Spirits. And right now, I just stole the Spirits of Water and your Beast Spirit."
"You two are all alone in this fight…" Duskmon said quietly.
"You aren't giving us any other option, are you," Lobomon said.
"No. I like to play with my food before I eat it," Growlmon said with a demonic gleam in his eye. "That's why I didn't take all of your Spirits," Growlmon bent down to look Lobomon directly in the eyes.
"Howling Laser!" Lobomon fired a laser, which Growlmon easily dodged.
"Pyro Blaster!"
"Lobo Kendo!" Growlmon's attack was blocked by Lobomon's, which he then used in an attempt to stab Growlmon in the face, which Growlmon dodged.
"Dragon Slash!" the blades on Growlmon's elbows glowed white and extended as he used then to block another attack from Lobomon. "Lobomon, I've paid close attention to the way you fight, while you have no idea how I fight. You have absolutely no hope of winning."
"That doesn't mean you're stronger than me!" Lobomon shouted.
"Pyro Blaster!" Growlmon's attack slammed Lobomon against a wall. Growlmon walked over to him and placed his giant foot over his body. "You're nothing without both of your Spirits, Legendary Warrior of Light. That can be easily changed, though."
"You're not…giving me back my Beast Spirit, are you?" Lobomon asked.
"My God, no; I was just saying that if you surrender and come over to our side, we could give you all the power you could ever want; more power than you have ever dreamed of."
"That's all you think about, Growlmon…power. It takes more than power to win a battle…to be happy…"
"Oh, God, not another damn friendship speech," Growlmon muttered. "I hear this crap from guys like you all the freaking time! It's all the same shit! I don't need friends! I'm not greedy like you guys; all I need from life is power! Power that I rightfully deserve! Just enough power to take down all you bastards!" Lobomon attempted to raise his arm, but Growlmon's foot was too big. Growlmon stepped down harder on the Warrior, making breathing increasingly difficult for him, just as JagerLoewemon crashed into him, knocking him off of his brother, and jumping out of the way just in time to dodge an attack from Duskmon. Just as Lobomon had barely stood up, Growlmon grabbed him and shoved him against the wall. "There's no way your brother can beat Duskmon! Duskmon was originally a part of him, so he basically knows his every thought."
"Dark Master!"
"Lunar Plasma!" the two powerful attacks collided, creating a large explosion of darkness. Duskmon was still standing, with his swords extended toward the fallen JagerLoewemon.
"Koichi…try Fusion Digivolving…" Lobomon said weakly.
"I'm afraid he can't; when you weren't looking, I stole his Human Spirit of Darkness," Duskmon said, then turned to look at JagerLoewemon. "Deadly Gaze!" all of Duskmon's eyes fired red energy beams at JagerLoewemon, making him turn back into Koichi.
"Pyro Blaster!" Growlmon took his foot off of Lobomon and attacked him, making him turn back into Koji.
"There's nothing you or any of your friends can do now. Growlmon's flames prevent your friends from moving, even in Digimon form, and they're too high to fly over. The only two available to fight are about to die…" Duskmon said solemnly as he placed the tip of his sword against Koichi's neck. "I'm sorry I must do this to you, old friend, but the memories are too painful. They won't end until you die."
"They may not be able to stand up to you," said none other than Bokomon. "But we can still fight you!"
"Now that's funny! What are you going to do; throw your book at us?" Growlmon asked. "You and your idiot friend can't even Digivolve!"
"At last, something we can agree on; Neemon is an idiot."
"Hey!" Neemon said, sounding insulted, but Bokomon ignored him.
"But you're wrong about one thing," Bokomon said, approaching the flames.
"And just what might I be wrong about, Rookie? My power speech?"
"We do have the power to Digivolve, given to us by Seraphimon! Bokomon Digivolve To, Sorcermon!"
"Neemon Digivolve To, Opossumon!"
"Well, it looks like I was wrong. But you're still trapped in my fire!" Growlmon roared.
"Drowning Aquarius!" Sorcermon shot a stream of water from his wand at the flames, extinguishing them. "Now, everyone; Spirit Evolve!"
"Execute, Beast Spirit Evolution, MetalKabuterimon!"
"Execute, Fusion Evolution, ShadowSeraphimon!"
"We aren't going to win this fight, Growlmon. We should retreat," Duskmon said.
"Hell no; we can still beat them! Pyro Blaster!"
"Electron Cannon!" MetalKabuterimon fired a powerful electric blast from his cannon, which tore apart Growlmon's attack and hit his upper body, making him collapse, exhausted, onto the floor. MetalKabuterimon's attack kept going and almost hit Duskmon, but he raised his sword and blocked the attack.
"Strike of the Seven Dark Stars!" ShadowSeraphimon fired dark orbs at Duskmon, all seven of which were cut up by Duskmon's swords.
"Terra Destroyer!"
"Rosetta Stone!" Nefertimon and BlackWarGreymon, who was no longer unconscious, both attacked Duskmon, but both attacks missed.
"I no longer have any interest in fighting any of you. I shall now make my escape, but not before leaving you these," Duskmon tossed his Darkness Scanner to the floor in front of Koichi, then found Growlmon's and tossed it in front of Koji.
"Mad Balloon Bomb!" Opossumon threw some of his balloons at Duskmon, which exploded upon impact, in attempt to stop him from escaping, but the explosions only made it easier for him to escape, creating and sending dust everywhere.
"Opossumon, you idiot! You let them escape!" Sorcermon said, smacking Opossumon on the head with his wand.
"But…I was trying to prevent them from escaping," Opossumon said, De-Digivolving back into Neemon with Bokomon. Koichi returned his Human Spirit from Duskmon's Darkness Scanner, and Koichi got his Beast Spirit and the Spirits of Water back.
"Koji, can I have my Spirits back now?" René asked.
"No."
"Half of my house is destroyed," BlackWarGreymon said quietly. "I'm afraid if they were to return, my house would not be a safe place for you anymore."
"You're just saying that to get rid of me, aren't you," Nefertimon said.
"No, I'm not; they could easily destroy the rest of this house and make it collapse down on you."
"But, they said they want us alive!" J.P. said.
"Regardless, it isn't safe for anyone to be here; even me. We're going to have to part ways here once your friends return."
"Hey, I think I see them now!" Koichi said, and sure enough, the five that had fought with Murmuxmon and Persiamon were returning.
"Let's hope they were more successful than we were," Koji said.
Bet none of you saw Bokomon and Neemon Digivolving, right?
