YuYuHakusho: Digimon Files
Episode 29: Tension
The digital world was changing. Gone were the lush forests full of green in which Tai, Cody and Sora traveled to release Ebonwumon. Gone were the plentiful fields of flowers in which the second generation digidestined met Gennai. It had become a dark and fiery place.
Daemon was the cause of the digital world's suffering. Since being released from the dark ocean he's joined forces with the digivice carrying half demon, Meioh. Together they carried out the complex plan of using Meioh's father, Surt, to power Daemon to a point where he could crush the four guardians of the digital world, the holy beasts.
Now without any deities protecting it the digital world has fallen from grace, slowly becoming a world of darkness and despair. The only hope for this world is the digidestined. However, even the digidestined may not have the power to confront the combined power of Daemon and Meioh.
To add to the problems Daemon has given out an order to destroy all gates leading to the digital world, except for one. The one left intact was actually the closest one to his base. It was being guarded by Phelesmon who has set a trap set for the moment anyone enters the digital world.
The digital world may just be out of reach, for now.
--
The waves of the dark ocean slowly rolled over the dark sand. Despite the changes the other worlds may be facing this ocean continues to thrive, unscathed. The ruler of this world, Dragomon, has married Kari Kamiya. For what reason? It has been said the reason is to join light and darkness together. Kari has used this to her advantage to use Dragomon's army to combat Surt's spawns. It is only a matter of time before Dragomon uses Kari to his advantage.
Three trails of footprints stretched along the sand. Following the footprints it is clear they belong to Kari, Ken and Wormon.
"Thank you for coming with me."
"No problem, I also have unfinished business here."
--
"What do you mean Hiei's in hell?!" Yusuke exclaimed, slamming his fist into onto the table. His anger was understandable; dying for a noble cause should not resort in such judgment.
The group was sitting outside of a burger joint.
"Even if me and shorty never saw eye to eye I knew his heart was in the right place!" Kuwabara yelled as well.
Koenma nodded. "Agreed, however when I spoke to my father he seemed troubled about something. Seemed as though the decision wasn't his."
Yusuke rolled his eyes. "He's probably realizing he's not as good a ruler as he thinks."
Koenma shrugged. "Any word on Kurama? Leads? Clues?"
Yusuke clenched his fist. "No, just stupid chicken hunts."
"You mean wild goose hunts,"
"Whatever," Yusuke said, irritated. "Anyway, where are Tai and the rest? I thought you said we were going to meet them here."
"I relayed the message to Gennai; they should be here by now."
"Heh, Alzheimer's a bitch ya know. He probably forgot."
A man in a beige robe walked over to their table. "Is that what you think about me?" The man removed his hood to show that he was Gennai.
"Hmmm?" Yusuke said. "I may not be Einstein but I only count one of you. Where're the others?"
Gennai frowned before dropping a note onto the table. Koenma reached over and grabbed it, reading carefully. His eyes suddenly bulged open. "It seems Kurama's been found."
Gennai nodded. "This letter was slipped into Sora's locker at school. She immediately emailed the others and told them to meet at this location. Izzy relayed the message to me so that I may inform all of you."
"Heh, then what're we waiting for." Yusuke's smile was of eagerness instead of happiness. "I'm ready to crack in someone's head and after we find Kurama we'll bust into Spirit world itself and take back Hiei."
Kuwabara slammed his fist to his palm. "I'm with ya there Urameshi. It's time for a little payback!"
Gennai didn't react to there comments. "The digidestined should be there by now. Let's hurry."
--
Sora stared ahead at the Aqua City Shopping Center. She was deep in thought, frantically coming up with a plan. Sweat poured down her face, she couldn't mess up in this rescue. She'd never felt so much on the line before, feeling responsible for Kurama's fate it was up to her to make things right. Even though she stood in the center of her friends and those close enough to be considered family, at the moment she felt alone.
Tai could see her frustration. He would usually push forward and prepare for battle, but this time he would consider her feelings. This time he would allow her to move at her own pace, if she didn't want to go in for another thirty minutes then that's fine. Wait. Someone's life hangs in the balance. It's not the time to be standing still.
"Sora,"
Sora awoke from her depression. "Alright let's move."
The digidestined rushed in, digimon disguised in casual clothes. The group consisted of Tai, TK, Sora, Izzy, Matt, Davis, Yolei and Cody. Agumon sniffed the air hoping for a scent of Asura. Biyomon picked up the cent and motioned for the others to follow. The group of sixteen continued through the mall, following Biyomon's directions. Biyomon stopped before the elevator.
The general public continued to move about there business, but it seemed odd that no one seemed interested in the elevator or any of the adjacent elevators as well. People were taking the stairs and escalators, completely oblivious to the elevator. Agumon noticed a lady in a wheel chair trying to make her way up a flight of stairs to get to the next floor. Agumon was taken aback in shock. Tai looked down and spoke, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know. Something's not right."
Sora was listening to what Agumon said, but was dedicated to moving forward. She looked towards Biyomon. "His scent is here right?"
"Yeah Sora, but-"
"Alright, I'm going in." As if on cue the elevator light went on. After a two second pause the door sprung open revealing an empty elevator. "Seems like an invitation."
Davis stared at everyone in the group then looked to the elevator. "Wait,"
Sora had already prepared herself to ignore Tai's judgment, seeing as whatever he said would most likely end with 'don't go', however when Davis spoke she found herself curious.
"Think about it guys, the elevator isn't big enough to fit all of us. It's a classic divide and conquer deal."
Veemon jumped in as well. "Yeah what he said!"
Tai instantly realized the gravity of this statement. "He's right, it's too dangerous."
Matt shook his head. "No it isn't." He walked forward and pushed the down key to the elevator right next to it. He glanced up at the floor indicator and realized it wasn't moving. "Damn it all."
Cody pointed up. "All of the elevators are at the top floor. And I'm willing to bet that they won't move either."
"So we're caught," TK said.
"There's only one direction for us to move." Sora said. "And that's forward. Biyomon can become a mega digimon now, I can handle myself. If the rest of you don't want to come-"
"I'll go with you; we can fit about three humans in there." Tai said.
"No," Davis protested. "We can't have our strongest guys going in there. Right now Ken is gone, so I don't have a mega digimon. That makes me expendable."
Tai shot Davis a quick glare. "Do not say things like that."
Davis' face turned into a look of pity. "But it's true. I don't see Kari smile anymore. Friends are dying before my eyes. I have even been turned against all of you. I have never felt this powerless." He made a small half smile. "So what's wrong with saying I'm expendable?"
Tai had heard enough. Thoughts like that get people killed. He moved to grab Davis, but someone had reached him first. TK held Davis up against the elevator. "You think Kari would be happy hearing you talk that way? She believes in us Davis, all of us and that includes you. I can't believe I'm hearing this out of your mouth, this isn't the Davis that I know."
Davis slouched, his legs losing strength. "You didn't see the sadness in Kari's eyes after you died. I tried to cheer her up, but it was impossible. That night she cried alone!"
TK's grip left him. "W-what?"
"I offered her my support, but she didn't want it." Davis continued. "And now I offer my support to Sora and all of you stop me?"
Sora's face softened. "Da-"
"Davis," Tai said. Davis looked at him. Tai gave him the thumbs up. Davis smiled and nodded.
"Then I'll be the third person," Matt said.
"Wait Matt." The voice came from TK. TK had a very confident look on his face. "I've got a trump card I've wanted to try out for a while."
Matt gave him a confused look. "Trump card?"
"Ask Yusuke about it when he gets here." TK grinned. "I'm sure he'd know what I'm talking about."
Sora, Davis and TK boarded the elevator with their digimon. Tai looked at them as the door closed. To be more specific he stared at Sora. 'Seems every time I turn to protect Kari I look back at you to see that you've drifted further and further away from me. A bigger gap each time. But I guess it can't be helped,' Tai gave her a warm smile before the elevator descended.
--
Davis looked down at Veemon. "So Veemon ready to kick some tail?"
Veemon lifted his arms up. "Just bring em on Davish."
Sora glanced towards TK. "So what's this trump card you were talking about?"
TK smiled. "It's a secret."
The elevator rumbled before it increased in speed. The six of them were forced to the ceiling as the elevator continued to pick up speed.
"This isn't good!" Davis yelled.
Digivolution
Biyomon Digivolved to. . .Birdramon!
End Digivolution
The elevator exploded as the bird formed. The group landed on Birdramon's back but she couldn't stop her momentum and continued to descend in the stuffed shaft.
They collided with the ground, but continued through it without resistance. Davis suddenly felt disoriented. TK's eyes bulged open.
"TK. . .Call me crazy, but I think we went through the ground," Patamon said.
"We. . .did."
--
Asura took a step into the light. Kurama still hadn't figured out where he was, he could only guess they were in some kind of basement. "We have company, Kurama."
Kurama's shallow breaths stopped. He slowly looked up to view Asura. "It seems your little girlfriend has come to save you. Someone has tipped them off of my location. So I will welcome them here. Or rather, I HAVE welcomed them." A chill ran down Kurama's spine.
"He's down here somewhere. I know it," The voice had come from TK.
"But where is here? Is this really the basement of Aqua City?" Davis asked.
Asura's grin grew. "It's time I conduct a new experiment. What makes a digidestined a digidestined. What do you think Kurama? Is it something in their heart?! Or maybe their mind?! I'll have to examine both organs accordingly."
Davis and TK stopped walking. They'd heard Asura's voice clear as day.
"Don't be shy you two. Come on, step up and show yourselves to me. It's what you wanted,"
Davis took a step back. "Veemon, I hope you're ready for this one."
TK turned to Patamon. "MagnaAngemon will do."
"Oh my God Kurama!" Sora's cry broke through the area. TK and Davis froze as the light focused on Kurama. His body hung lump from blood soaked shackles. His head had a ring of blood which dribbled down his face. His attire had been cut and torn in various places showing bloodied wounds throughout the body. The worst for Sora to bear were that Kurama's eyes had lost their luster.
Asura chuckled at their reaction. "Aren't you glad? Glad that I decided to leave his eyes in their sockets?"
"Take!" Davis said.
"Him!" TK said.
"Down!" Sora said.
Digivolution
Veemon Digivolved to. . .Exveemon!
Patamon Digivolved to. . .Angemon!
Angemon Digivolved to. . .MagnaAngemon!
End Digivolution!
TK turned to Sora. "Why isn't Biyomon helping?!"
Sora turned away. "Phoenixmon might be too big. I can't risk collapsing this place."
"Fine, Exveemon! Take him down!" Davis commanded.
Exveemon shot forward, flying straight towards Asura with his fist drawn back. Asura smirked as he moved, much to fast for Exveemon to register, seemingly disappearing before the dragon man's eyes.
"Behind you!"
Exveemon turned around to see Asura ready with a rose whip. This caught Sora by surprise. Just as Asura swung the instrument of death, MagnaAngemon cut in with his Excalibur. He continued his assault on by slashing forward with all of his might. Asura let the blade come within an inch of his body before he vanished from site again.
"V-Laser!" The ray of energy was expertly dodged by the demon. Asura's grin intensified.
Sora ran towards Kurama as the battle progressed. "Kurama,"
"S-s. . ."
"Don't speak, I'm going to get you out of here. Biyomon."
"Spiral Twister!" The chains were shattered dropping Kurama onto the girl.
MagnaAngemon continued his assault, but could never land a blow on his opponent. He finally ceased his attack and landed back on the ground.
"Giving up already?" Exveemon yelled. He prepared to shoot forward to continue his attack, but MagnaAngemon raised a halting arm.
"If we can't hit him we'll wait for him to come to us." MagnaAngemon said.
Asura stopped. He then chuckled. "Interesting plan, but I have waves of measures to take against that action." He lifted up a yo-yo.
"What you're going to do walk the dog?" Exveemon joked.
"As a matter of fact. . ." He swung the yoyo down, it ran in the direction of Exveemon. Exveemon smirked. The yoyo jumped into the air and extended, before wrapping itself around Exveemon's neck choking him. "no!"
"Exveemon!" MagnaAngemon rushed to his aid swinging his blade down. The string itself maneuvered out of the way of the attack. "What?!"
"If you wanted to play, you should've just asked." Asura revealed a second yo-yo. Without another word he swung it towards the angel digimon. MagnaAngemon braced his sword and performed a vertical slash, completely missing his target. The yoyo prepared to strike the angel's head, but the ultimate level blocked with his shield.
"Exveemon! Hold on to the string!" MagnaAngemon then charged towards Asura. Exveemon followed instructions and stopped his attempt to prevent himself from being strangled and grabbed onto the string closest to his neck and securing it.
Asura's eyes narrowed as MagnaAngemon closed in. Eight more yo-yo's launched from his hands, seemingly out of nowhere, and collided into eight points of MagnaAngemon's body, launching him into a nearby wall. Exveemon growled and rose into the air and performed a somersault. His head horn pierced through the string releasing his neck. The remaining nine yo-yo's approached the digimon.
"V-Laser!" The blast was aimed at the yo-yo's but as Exveemon predicted they swerved out of the way. Leaving a clear path to Asura! Exveemon raced forward as fast as he could through the opening, reeling his fist back.
Sora and Biyomon were dragging Kurama away from the battle, back towards the entrance to this place. Not that they knew where the entrance was exactly, but they knew around the place they entered. "Stay with me Kurama. Don't fall asleep. I don't want to think what will happen if you don't wake up."
The area shook from a collision. Biyomon turned back around. "He's dominating them. I want to help. Sora please let me fight."
"Don't worry about that!" TK called out. "I've got it covered! Just get Kurama out of here."
Sora stared in the darkness of nothing. She looked up wondering where they entered. "Sure TK, give me the hard job."
TK slowly walked his way over to MagnaAngemon. Asura tossed Exveemon off of him and stared at the boy. Asura's eyes flashed. "I see, so you've been keeping a secret."
TK shrugged. "It won't be a secret for long. You see, I died recently. With my death my D-3 was completely destroyed."
Davis instantly remembered this. Then he turned to MagnaAngemon. How is it possible for him to be here without a D-3?
"That's how digimon digivolve you see. They share our energy. Our energy." TK grinned. "Something I've had plenty of since being resurrected!"
Asura smirked. "So what're you going to do? Use the spirit energy in your body to increase your digimon's power."
"Heh, something like that. Instead of increasing his power, I'll do better. I'LL DIGIVOLVE MAGNAANGEMON TO THE MEGA LEVEL!"
Asura put his arms up in the welcoming position. "By all means. . .give it a try."
TK's body was suddenly overcome with a golden light. MagnaAngemon's body was suddenly infused with the same golden light. Davis watched in awe. Exveemon struggled to get up, only to see the golden light as well.
"Let's go!"
Digivolution!
MagnaAngemon Spectral Digivolved to. . .SlashAngemon!
End Digivolution!
SlashAngemon: Known as the angel of blades, he was once a heavenly warrior, but after suffering defeat he turned his entire body into a weapon. With a sleek metal body made of blue digizoid, his defense is uncanny. And with his blades and high speed attacks, his attack is uncanny.
"Way to go! You did it!" TK yelled.
SlashAngemon looked over his new body. 'What's going on? I thought my final form would be Seraphimon.' He stared down at TK who looked overjoyed at his successful experiment. 'Maybe because I'm not infused with the crest of hope, but instead TKs direct spirit energy. Is this how Ophanimon felt?'
--
"They've been down there too long." Tai said.
"It's been ten minutes." Matt said. "Besides," He pointed at an adjacent elevator. "There's a sign." The elevator number kept decreasing; the elevator was descending.
A beeping noise came from Izzy's digivice, followed by the others. "A digivice signal."
Yolei and Hawkmon peered as best as they could into the elevator shaft. The elevator rushed passed them letting them get a split second glimpse at what was inside. "Was that. . .Joe?"
Tai continued to stare at the elevator. "Makes sense, but why would he go alone."
'Was he alone?' Yolei thought.
--
SlashAngemon practically vanished from site, but Asura's eye had tracked him. With a small wave he launched nine yoyos towards the direction of SlashAngemon. SlashAngemon continued moving forward without worry. As they were prepared to slam into him, his arms moved as blurs. Instantly the yoyo's split and shattered.
Asura grinned as he formed a ball of orange energy in his hand before he vanished from site. He reappeared levitating in mid air, only to suddenly be surrounded in SlashAngemon's presence. The newly digivolved digimon was encircling him with his great speed. Watching. Waiting for an opening.
With a mighty hurl he launched the fireball in a flash with perfect aim. SlashAngemon stopped in front of the blast and shot forward, cleaving through the blast with his left arm and charging past Asura.
An explosion of blood left Asura's torso. SlashAngemon stopped and turned around.
"Well done." Asura said.
"You avoided the force of the blow." SlashAngemon said, it was then TK noticed that his voice was that of MagnaAngemon.
--
Sora sighed. "I think we can't escape."
Biyomon nodded. "Not until he's gone."
"He let us in, only he can let us out."
"So we have to go back."
"And take him down."
--
SlashAngemon and Asura both moved in for the attack. Twin rays of energy were fired from Asura to SlashAngemon. They bounced off of his blue digizoid body with ease.
"Watch out Davis!" Exveemon tackled Davis out of the way of one of the reflected blasts.
"Thanks man."
"No prob' but I wish there was something more we can do besides sitting here watching." Exveemon said.
"This is not all we're going to do." Davis said clenching his fist.
"Davis!" Exveemon pointed at the ground. A pentagram was forming on the ground.
"Why don't you show me a little more of your abilities?" Asura said with his arms crossed.
"Watch out!"
Asura's eyes shifted to focus on Sora.
"He's going to use his big attack! Get out of the pentagram!"
SlashAngemon stared down to notice that he was in the pentagram.
"Seal of Power!"
SlashAngemon looked down to see that TK was at the edge of the pentagram but still slightly within it.
"TK!"
Exveemon tackled TK out of the way just as a ray of green light ripped from the ground through the roof. TK looked back as he was carried away. "SlashAngemon!" The light was blinding forcing everyone to close there eyes.
It finally subsided. A meek ray of light shot through the ceiling.
Davis was panting. It felt as though he took the attack, but just being near it was enough to weaken him. He stared at Asura. "Just where are we?!"
SlashAngemon remained there, body covered in burns. The image of his defeat by Thestalos crossed his mind. He let out a small growl like noise.
"Heaven's-" He began to glow. His body shrank down in size until it revealed Tokomon. Tokomon hit the ground unable to move.
Asura chuckled. "So that was all he could take I see." He stared at ceiling to see that it was damaged letting more light inside.
The light was enough to show Davis was laid beyond Asura. The form of Sin lay strapped to a table. Davis clenched his teeth and glared at Asura. "Just what kind of person are you?!"
"That's no concern of yours!"
Davis suddenly heard a beeping noise. He picked up his D-3 and noticed a signal coming towards them.
Davis turned to TK and Exveemon. "Someone made it down here!"
"Is that so, if they make as pitiful an attempt as you made, this may be over quicker than I thought." Asura's eyes widened. He felt the presence of two people.
"It looks like we're not too late."
Davis and TK both turned around to see Joe standing there.
"Joe!" Davis and TK said in unison. They then looked confused; they had never seen the two people behind him before.
Joe smiled. "I've brought reinforcements. Former enemies turned neutral, Garr and Meno, spawns of Surt." Stepping into the light, the vampire teeth of Meno. Stepping into the light, the six foot build of Garr.
"Hey don't forget about me." Gomamon walked up next to Joe.
TK ran towards Tokomon, picking him up. He then turned to Joe and his companions. "Good ol' reliable Joe."
"Thanks TK, its good to be called that." Joe really felt the gravity of those words. He felt as though he had redeemed himself.
Asura landed on the ground, staring at the two spawns of Surt. "Why are you two here? You've joined with this human?"
Garr was the one to respond. "We both have friends that you've taken from us. It's a neutral ground team up."
Asura closed his eyes and chuckled at the irony. "Well, I suppose you've come looking for this," Asura motioned behind him towards the still form of Sin. Garr's eyes narrowed. "I'm a little surprised that you made it all the way in here. How'd you get into my realm?"
"It's simple, once pinpointed. It reacts to demon energy, which is probably how you control it so well." Garr answered.
"Hmmm, for the three of you, I will have to make more room." With a swipe of his hands the ceiling above them disintegrated. Now revealed was another room full of dozens of test tubes. They extended higher and higher, on top of each other. Inside two of the test tubes, was the unconscious Chuu as well as the unconscious Rinku. While they 'admired' the view, Asura reached his hand into the ground pulling something free. He smirked.
"You can all pick your tubes, this collection has been growing for hundreds of years. I'd love to add a few digimon and Surt created demon's to the collection. My research will flourish!"
A power began to awaken inside of Asura. Everyone felt weighed down by this sudden unlocked potential. It was the power of demon energy mixed with spirit energy. It was the power he had attained from years of research, including research on the fox demon Kurama.
"The spirit energy and demon energy from hundreds all stored into this body. This body that I call perfect!" A rainbow aura surrounded Asura.
Garr cracked his neck in both directions. Meno flashed a toothy smile. The two vanished from site.
TK ran towards Joe. "Did you see Sora on your way in?"
"I'm here," Sora said, holding a slightly stronger Kurama. Kurama seemed to be fully conscious now. He stared at the fight taking place. Davis and Exveemon stared at the fight as well.
Garr moved for a solid punch only to have it parried by Asura's forearm. Garr continued with a volley as quick as possible, only to have them countered by Asura's forearms. Asura's foot ignited in a flame and he kicked forward with such force that even when Garr blocked it he was sent hurling backwards.
Meno was now on the offensive perform a flying kick just to fly past her opponent. Asura turned around preparing to backhand her with a flaming punch, but she quickly ducked and aimed for his chest with another kick. Asura jumped back out of reach of her move and sprinted forward as quickly as he could. He was sure he would connect, but was visibly shocked when she swerved out of the way. The two jumped away from each other to buy time.
Asura realized her hand to hand abilities were admirable. His senses quickly picked up something and he jumped into the air as a blast of black fire impaled the ground in which he was just standing.
"Missed him," Garr said. He immediately began dodging twin rays of energy fired from Asura. Asura grinned as he decided to aim at the normal ones.
"Davis! Move!" Joe yelled seeing the danger.
Twin rays were shot towards the goggle-head. They reflected off of a black barrier that had formed to protect him. Meno winked at him before returning to battle.
A pentagram began to form on the ground.
"Watch out! Everything within the pentagram will be wiped out!" Davis said as Exveemon carried him and air lifted him out of harms way.
"Seal of Power!"
Digivolution!
Gomamon Digivovled to. . .Ikkakumon!
Ikkakumon Digivolved to. . .Zudomon!
End Digivolution!
Zudomon stepped in front of Sora and the others as the impact of the blast forced a powerful gust of wind there way.
The light faded to show Meno and Garr standing on the ground.
Asura growled in anger as he realized she had protected herself in her barrier. "You copy Kamiya's technique too perfectly."
Meno's aura began to increase. She had absorbed the power. Meno's soft voice spoke for the first time. "Thank you, honey." Radiating with power, Meno moved forward to assault Asura. Asura tossed syringe to the floor. It landed in puddle of blood that had formed from Asura's wound from SlashAngemon.
The clash of the two energies sends another powerful gust of air rushing towards Zudomon.
Meno roundhouse kicked Asura in the side of the head and followed with a bicycle kick to his chest. Asura took steps back during the assault. Meno flashed her teeth before appearing behind Asura and restraining him in a full nelson like hold. "Your blood smells delicious." Without another word she sunk her teeth into his neck. She felt the rush go through her. She could feel the blood intoxify her and dilate her eyes.
Joe nodded. "She did it," 'Good call Garr,'
Flashback
"I can feel her diminished power." Garr said.
"Who?"
"Meno, she was sent as one of the five to stop the humans."
"Let's find her, I can treat her injuries. . .if you can convince her that we're not the enemy."
Garr simply stared at Joe. He nodded his head.
End Flashback
Meno's eyes shot open. The full nelson hold on Asura was released. Meno was about to relinquish her bite on Asura but his hand forced her head to remain in place. "What's the matter? Drink up! Drink up!"
Her demon energy diminished. Asura ripped her head from his neck and stared into her weakened eyes. He performed a swift punch to her gut. Her eyes strained to remain focused, but she lost his face in a void of darkness.
Garr stared in disbelief. "What did you do?!"
Asura tossed her straight into the table which held Sin. "I drugged her. She should always check her food more carefully, but you should worry about yourself." Asura appeared before Garr too quickly for the demon to register. He was able to bring his arm up to defend against Asura's incoming punch. When the blow collided, Garr cried out as a crunching noise echoed through the area. Garr took a few steps back looking down at his arm in shock. It had been broken!
"Heh, I don't usually fight in hand to hand. But with all of this power, who wouldn't enjoy the thrill of using your bare hands."
"THAT'S ENOUGH!"
Asura stared towards Sora. "Oh?" He examined her. "If I were to guess, I'd say you were tired of standing on the side lines." Asura grinned, manipulating her. "I hurt your boyfriend, what are you going to do about it?"
Sora stared back at him. "I don't know." Sora clenched her digivice. "Let's do it Biyomon."
"Right!"
Digivolution!
Biyomon Warp Digivolved to . . .Phoenixmon!
End Digivolution!
The crest of love glowed brightly from Sora's chest.
Davis stared at Sora. 'She really has done it.'
"Go!"
Phoenixmon took to the air, flapping her powerful wings causing gusts of wind to rain down on the others.
Asura's aura increased. "Neither digimon, nor demon can stand against me."
"That's not true." The voice came from Kurama. He had mustered enough strength to talk. "You steal your abilities, however what they possess is something that you can never steal." Sora felt her cheeks warm from the comment.
Asura laughed slightly. The laughter grew. He began to laugh hysterically. "Alright. I'll crush this monster, just to prove you wrong." He bolted for the sky.
"Crimson Flame!"
A wave of crimson power overtook the entire area, aimed only for Asura. Asura flew straight into it and continued moving. Phoenixmon's jaw was forced shut halting the flames.
"No!" Sora gasped.
'Life force'
Phoenixmon began to suffer multiple blows to her body. Asura punched, kicked and elbowed Phoenixmon in the face. He continued his assault for three minutes, everyone watching in quiet terror.
'He doesn't realize his punches have lost there effectiveness. It really does pay off when you I call the attack name in my head.' Phoenixmon thought.
Asura was now panting, amazed at Phoenixmon's endurance. He slowly floated away from Phoenixmon. He pointed his hand forward forming a Chuu trademarked demon energy ball. He looked down, eyeing Kurama with a satisfied grin.
Phoenixmon cawed.
"Crimson Flame!"
The wave of fire ignited Asura's attack causing a close ranged explosion covering the demon in a blaze of crimson and orange.
Phoenixmon panted. "Crimson Flare!" A concentrated beam of red light erupted from Phoenixmon's mouth rushing into the smoke that resulted from the previous explosion. Asura was struck and was being pushed towards an array of empty test tubes before another explosion rocked the area, shattering test tubes in the distance.
"He's like Anji, full of himself." Sora said. "He may have surprised us last time, but-"
Asura arose from the test tubes. His body had been burned and scorched and there were various places where his flesh had been torn.
Davis looked at him in disbelief. "Don't you feel pain?! How can you get up with wounds like that?!"
Asura stared down at the human, like a god looking down on a mortal. "You can't even grasp that. . .this pain is artificial. I've created this body."
Kurama stared up at Asura. "He survives by moving to different bodies upon death. He's controlled the result now creating a body to move into."
Sora stared at Kurama. "Then what should we do?"
Kurama finally stood up on his own power. "Annihilate the test tubes and those inside. We must determine which are alive and which are already dead. The ones dead must be incinerated so that he cannot move into that body."
"We don't have time to determine who is alive and who is dead!" Sora said.
"Then all of them must be incinerated." Kurama said, with a grim tone.
Now that Sora was no longer helping him stand, she took a step back from him. Kurama's words shattered her reality. All those thoughts of him being the perfect boyfriend, the best thing in her life, the deep and gentle one, was fading. How could he just mercilessly order death like that?
"Kurama you can't mean-"
"It's unfortunate, but necessary."
Sora's eyes narrowed, silent tears being held back. "And what if we miss one. What if we kill all of them only to find out that we missed one?!"
"We can't allow him to continue cheating death. He has to be stopped!" Kurama raised his voice.
Sora looked at him in a way like he was an alien. This tone in Kurama, it just wasn't him. The way he was speaking was different. Nothing usually phases the fox demon, but now he seemed to have a short temper. Why?
Davis smashed his fist and palm together. A faint glow was coming from his chest, he didn't seem to notice.
Zudomon stared upward at Asura.
Asura growled. "I didn't expect this much resistance. But I'm not the one on the defensive just yet."
He descended like a warhead before he stopped just above the ground. He then gently landed. "Alright," Asura said. "All of you will be wiped out! All of you!"
He slammed his hand into the ground creating a giant wave of red light that seeped into the ground.
Kurama's eyes widened. He recognized what he was doing, but was it really possible?
The ground began to shake. A vine popped out of the ground. The ground began to crumble. A carnivorous plant rose from the ground. It wasn't alone as soon it was accompanied by many brother and sister plants. Foaming at the mouth, their saliva sunk through the ground like acid.
"And now," He quickly looked over from Sora to Kurama, from Davis to Exveemon, from Joe to Zudomon, from Garr to Meno, from TK to Tokomon, and finally he looked upward to Phoenixmon. "Everyone will die."
End Chapter
AN: This took a month. I guess that's normal, felt longer though. What'd you think of all that? SlashAngemon! Garr and Meno alive (well maybe the Meno was only thought to be dead but still.) I picked the name SlashAngemon over GuardiAngemon because it seemed more appropriate.
What do you think? Will the Sora Kurama dubbed Sorama really over? Will Asura finally be put to rest permanently? And of course. . .there will be those angry about Hiei. Yeah.
Thanks for the reviews. See ya next time and I hope ya'll enjoyed the chapter. Late!
