Catalyst of Light
By Firehedgehog
Chapter Twenty-seven
Last time:
"Open your eyes Davis... open the eyes of Shokubaimon," Calumon/Takato/Catalyst whispered, Davis smiled and opened his brand new eyes in a world definitely not ready to meet them.
***
Davis opened his eyes, in the merged form of Shokubaimon he felt ready to face the darkness they would soon face. Like in the bio-merge of Ninjutsumon he found himself in a sphere of power, but this one was white... yet showed all colors.
Then he opened the eyes of Shokubaimon, to his startlement he found that even in the now pitch darkness of the night he saw everything as clear as day.
'Is this how a cat sees' Davis thought curious, in his mind he felt Calumon/Takato chuckle and decided to ignore it... he had a feeling that the catalyst would of started cat jokes at his expense if he said anything else.
'Note to self, make sure Takato doesn't hang out with Terriermon as much after this... it makes him tell sarcastic jokes' Davis thought.
"What do you think?" Calumon asked, Davis grinned.
"This is so cool, so what do we look like?" Davis asked, he had no idea and was very curious... especially since this could be his last battle for he had no idea if he would survive this or not.
"I'll show you," Calumon/Shokubaimon said, Davis felt the digital part of the merged form take control. In his sphere he watched with interest; as their form seemed to float across the area, finally they came to a nice clear look.
"Look down," Shokubaimon told him, Davis moved the body and looked down... he gasped.
"Well... this I didn't expect," Davis said in shock.
***
In another area Lilithmon gasped as she suddenly felt a flux of power flow over Odaiba, her dark eyes narrowed and a nasty smirk came across her face.
'So, the Catalyst finally shows itself... finally we will find out what form it wears' Lilithmon thought, she turned away from what she was doing and headed outside.
Once there she spread her wings, soon she was flying through the air ready to fight and capture the catalyst for her master.
***
Of all thing Davis had not expected this, a Knight he could expect since Takatos bio-merge with Guilmon was a Knight. But an angel, that was a shock to his system.
"An angel," he whispered in shock, the voice that was the catalysts laughed slightly.
"Wasn't it always your dream for Veemon to become an angel, mind you he didn't but hopefully this will help you with your dreams," the catalyst told him, Davis nodded mutely in his sphere.
Davis studied the reflection of Shokubaimon more, this form was unlike any angel digimon he had ever seen in the digiworld... but he didn't think the catalyst would become just any angel.
The first thing he wondered was, how the hell could he see with a black visor over his eyes (think Kazemon from 04).
"How can I see?" he asked very curious, he felt amusement from the catalyst.
"I have no idea, one of the mysteries of being a digimon," Calumon said with a mental shrug, Davis sweatdropped a bit from within his sphere. On the end of each side of the black visor (which was made of metal by the way) were slim disks: they had a red inner sphere surrounded by slim gold bands. Off of them, to his amusement by the way: was small wing like projectiles.
Next was startling dark emerald hair that slipped freely to Shokubaimons waist, not the usual blond of an angel digimon. Large wings spread majestically from Shokubaimons back. Shokubaimon wore a light blue-green sleeveless tunic top with the bottom cut interestingly and trimmed with gold.
On the chest was a gold breastplate that swept upward towards both shoulders like wings, in it's center was the symbol of the Catalyst. On each shoulder was shoulder armor the same shade of green as Shokubaimon hair.
The tight fitting pants (was it his imagination or was it leather?) that Shokubaimon wore, was the same light blue-green as the tunic top. Around Shokubaimon waist: was two belts placed to look like an 'X'.
Connected to Shokubaimon right side to the belts was a small very dark red pouch, to the left connected to the belts was a sword in a black scabbard. The swords hilt was ebony with ruby jewels on it, the hilt was just a simple brown color.
On Shokubaimons feet were beautiful light black boots that ended just below the knees, near to the top of each was the symbol of the catalyst.
The last touch to the mega level angel digimon, was the gold wristband's.
The merged from of Calumon and davis, could only say one thing.
"Cool," Shokubaimon said with a grin, now this he could get use to.
It was then that Shokubaimon felt something, focusing on that feeling he began to feel a dark energy heading through the sky towards him.
'What is it?' Davis/Shokubaimon thought with a frown; but the bio-merged mega angel digimon knew he would soon find out, weather he wanted to or not.
"It's a mega viral type digimon," Calumon told him, Davis sighed... hopefully they were strong enough to take this foe on.
"Kuso, do you know what digimon?" Davis asked back, he felt the digital half of Shokubaimon fall into a slight trance that he quickly came out of.
"No idea at all, there's so much dark energy and malice around it I can't tell," Calumon said a bit of annoyance in his voice, Davis could only grin that enough of Takato's human part of his thought was still in charge of Calumon.
"How much longer till it gets here?" Davis asked, he could feel the digimons evil but he had no idea of how to focus Shokubaimon powers to find out how close.
"Now," Calumon said, with that Calumon took the body over and shot Shokubaimon into the sky wings open to fly.
'Woah' Davis thought in awe, he was flying... and under his own power... well kind of.
Then the digimon they had felt appeared in the darkness in the sky, because of the digimons dark coloring and midnight bat like wings she was at first hard to see.
"A Lilithmon," Calumon said in surprise, Davis could only look in surprise at the female mega who they faced. He had never before seen this digimon in the digi-world before, so he knew nothing about her attacks.
"Ummm... you know her stats right, so we know something about this digimon right?" Davis asked a bit nervously, he felt Calumons accent and suddenly Lilithmons stats were in his mind.
"Thanks," he murmured; through their link he shared while in this form, Calumon only sent thanks.
"So your the Catalyst," Lilithmon sneered, Shokubaimon knew that if she hadn't been so evil and sneered so she would have been beautiful... yet he found the kimono clad digimon ugly.
"And you would be Lilithmon," Shokubaimon replied, Lilithmon looked slightly startled that she had been recognized but her face-hardened hiding her reaction.
"So you know my name, but that won't do you any good Catalyst. Soon my master will have you and all your powers will be his," Lilithmon crowed, at this point Shokubaimon wanted to roll his eyes... why did all evil digimon have to b like this before the fight... they should wait to crow till after they had won at least.
"Blah blah blah," he heard Calumon say, Davis snickered and was so glad that Lilithmon could not hear their private little conversation.
"What have you done to the destined, the tamers and their partners?" Shokubaimon demanded, at those words Lilithmon gave a shrill little laugh that could have shattered glass if any had been near.
"Silly boy, they are mine to play with to my desires. As soon as I take care of you, I'll capture that delectable looking white haired boy and the silly gogglehead with him," Lilithmon sneered, Davis sweatdropped at this part as did Calumon.
"She has no idea were them does she," he said dryly to Calumon.
"Nope," Calumon replied just as dryly.
"Let's get this over fats, she just freaks me out," Davis said, he really didn't like the way Lilithmon had spoken about Takato... as if he was food.
"..." Lilithmon said in shock, the reason she was shocked was that Shokubaimon had just planted his fist into her gut... hard. It drove her breath from her Kimono clad body, also... did we mention that it hurt like had.
Shokubaimon grinned as Lilithmon quickly regained her breath and sent a poisonous look at the angel digimon. There was also still shock in her gaze, she had never expected for an angel digimon to actually fight dirty like that.
"What the hell!" she snarled.
"You expected to play by the rules, yeah right. I may be an angel, but those people you took are my friends and I want them back," Shokubaimon told her in an angry voice, Lilithmon hissed angrily reminding Shokubaimon/Calumon that one of her lower digivolutions was BlackGatomon.
"Then let the games begin," Lilithmon snarled, Shokubaimon smirked knowing that the game had already begun and it was no game... and he would win no matter what.
***
"Teme," Lilithmon swore to the angel, the Catalyst who had not of yet revealed the digimon forms name it wore quickly swept his wings in a way that pushed him almost twenty feet away.
"Language," the angel digimon tisked Lilithmon snarled.
"What shall I call you angel," she hissed, it was getting reallu annoying referring to the digimon as the catalyst or the angel.
"Call me Shokubaimon," the angel digimon said, Lilithmon smirked.
"Good, now I now the name of the person I'm going to defeat," lilithmon crowed, no way in digital hell could this Shokubaimon beat her. After all she had heard daemon had caught it easily, also after capturing tamers and destined with their partners this should be easy.
With a primal scream Lilithmon flashed forward almost beating the sound barrier, she swiped forward her clawed hand glowing with unholy energy.
This happened so fast; Shokubaimon had to time to dodge, she heard a gasp of pain from the angel digimon as he was slammed into the side of a building causing cracks to appear violently in its side.
***
Shokubaimon gave a slight groan as he pulled himself out of the side of the building, apparently Lilithmon was faster then he had expected.
'Okay, note to self: she is really fast' Shokubaimon thought, he narrowed his eyes and pulled himself back into the air and the battle.
"One for one," he said, they had both got in good shots so far.
"Yes, but I'll win... I always win," Lilithmon sneered, Shokubaimon frowned and decided the kiddie gloves were off... well that would probably of sounded better if he wore any.
"Starlight Aura," Shokubaimon said announcing his attack, as he did he wondered why the hell digimon always announced there attacks as they did them.
"Nothing happening," Lilithmon sneered as nothing happened, or at least nothing seemed to happen.
"Look up," Shokubaimon said looking up, Lilithmon looked up and Shokubaimon could only sweatdrop as the viral mega was cacooned in silvery light with white points of light inside it that looked like stars.
"Calumon why did she look up, she should of known it was a trap... in a fight when someone says that its always a trap?" Davis asked puzzled, Calumon gave a nervous laugh.
"I have no idea, but it's useful. But, she won't fall for it again," Calumon told him, Davis nodded from within his sphere.
"Cheating Jerk," Lilithmon snarled struggling in his Starlight aura attack, Shokubaimon sighed.
"Actually if you had moved the attack wouldn't have hit you, so you were just stupid and looked up staying still long enough for the attack to hit," Shokubaimon told her, Lilithmon screamed in rage and a sickly green glow surrounded her.
'This can't be good' Shokubaimon thought.
At that moment the sickly green light seemed to explode from around Lilithmon, it was so bright it filled the Odaiba sky blinding all... when the light hit Shokubaimon he could only scream as pain screamed and tortured every nerve and every piece of data in his body.
'This is definitely not one of Lilithmons attacks, where the hell did she get an attack like that!' Shokubaimon thought through the haze of the pain.
Then it was all over, but his body was still in pain and he wondered how they had stayed in their merged form.
"You like," Lilithmon purred, she smirked darkly at the angel digimon. "My master gave it to me for fighting against your little friends and if you had a fight in you," she said, she gave a deep throaty chuckle.
'Scary' Shokubaimon thought, while his body was still hurting he leapt into action... actually it was more accurate to say he flew into action.
"Starlight Jamming," Shokubaimon shouted and began using one of his many attacks, since Shokubaimon was the catalyst even if merged with another he had many more attacks then any other digimon. Of course since he liked being mysterious, he would keep the exact number a secret.
His fists shot forward at the speed of light, each fist making mini sonic booms deafening Lilithmon. Thankfully since it was his own attack it did not effect him, each hit was so fast she had no defense and slammed into her body savagely.
To the humans watching it was like watching the ultimate street fight, at this late hour something like this would be noticed by the damage and noise. If the two had looked a few building away, they would have noticed a news camera getting every single thing.
"Give up Lilithmon, give me my friends back," Shokubaimon said angrily as he finished up the attack, at this point Lilithmons clothing was quite ripped up and had quite a few bruises swelling along her body already.
"Never, I'll taker you to my master and reap in rewards for your capture," Lilithmon snarled, her eyes glowed red in the darkness of the night.
"Don't say I didn't warn you," Shokubaimon said, he cracked his knuckles and a very serious look came over his face. If anyone knows Takato or Davis they should know that Serious is a very bad thing, bad for the villains that is... villains had a mysterious way of being beaten to a pulp of deleted neatly when this rare event happened.
***
Lilithmon realized something had gone wrong, a chill ran down her back and something told her she had just entered the twilight zone... not really but something had gone bad for her.
Looking at Shokubaimon she shivered, for the few minutes she had seen Shokubaimon she knew serious was a bad thing... a scary thing... it was a feeling she had in her gut.
"Shit, this is going to hurt... a lot," Lilithmon said, at that moment Shokubaimon descended glowing with holy light.
***
"Quick aim the camera, get it all on tape," a male news reporter shouted in glee, since MaloMyotismons defeat nothing good had happened... and the few things that did happen no one had gotten there in time to get it for the news.
No here was his big scoop, boy would his boss give him a raise for this.
'Hmmm... I wonder if I can interview the angel when this is over' he thought as he watched Lilithmon being beaten to a pulp, at that moment a savage punch threw Lilithmon into the building the camera news crew was on.
When the dust and gravel settled, and Lilithmon flew away to rejoin the fight... he could only gasp.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! MY STORY!!!!!!!" the news reporter cried to the heavens, tears fell down dramatically down his face.
The worst thing ever had just happened to him, his story had been crushed... literally. Lilithmons body crashing down had crushed the camera, and destroyed all the film they had taken... it was all ruined.
"Why... why, he cried falling to his knees, this happened every time he had a good one... just like the time a huge parrot digimon had crushed his camera all those years ago in Heighton view terrace. (If you haven't figured it out this original character of mine was there when Parrotmon and Greymon fought it out when the DD first saw digimon as itty witty little kids).
The world must hate him.
***
'Well that takes care of the camera' Shokubaimon thought as a damages Lilthmon flew into the air, he didn't want this to be recorded... the world shouldn't really know about the catalyst... Shokubaimon, anyway this was a private fight.
"Starlight Jamming," he shouted again using that powerful sonic fist technique, if one looked closely when his fists hit they would of seen small light stars... giving the attack this name.
Lilithmoon grunted and when this attack ended she didn't look too good, in fact it looked like the data in one of her bat wings was destabilizing.
Lilithmon gave him a scathing hateful look, she snarled darkly.
"You win this time Shokubaimon, but next time I'll be more powerful and the master will have you," Lilithmon snarled, she then quickly began her get away.
"What now?" Davis asked his digital half; Calumon/Takato sighed.
"We follow of course," Calumon answered, nodding from within his sphere Davis and Calumon soon were hot on her trail and hopefully towards there friends and partners.

FH: Yeah, I finally got past that annoying writers block, Before you ask Teme is a swearword... it means Bastard I think. Also, sooner or later I'll have a pic of Shokubaimon on my webpage for you to see. Actually it would have been up already, but something keeps happening so it might be awhile yet till the picture appears.
R.Calumon: Heh, you should of seen all the trouble Fire had getting the to the net (At the library) from her home comp for you. The picture kept on getting weird glitches and wouldn't load onto the page or the colors were totally wrong for some reason.
FH: See you next chapter
