MA: hey peoples. I'm glad to see that many of you like my new series. But many see that I used Jackie Chan adventures as a reference point but as you will soon see that there are differences.
Max: I've seen the crap he's gonna put us through.
MA: crap?! What crap?
P: like what you're gonna have me do in karaoke bar.
MA: ok! That's enough! Any way, I don't own digimon or the idea of eight deamons. Now that that's out of the way, on with the fic!
D3: THE DEAMON'S STRIKE
ENTER THE DRAGON
Tai, takuya, and takato: three young men who have seen some unbelievable sight in their short but interesting lives but nothing as a imposing as the sight of the deamon before them; he stood a clear ten feet with brown scaly skin, black wild hair with a long ponytail that ran down the length of his back. He wore black gloves, black boots, and a black vest with the sigh of ying yang on it. A big toothy grin came across his face as he walked across the lake of lava and onto the ground. Just then, he let out a roar that could be heard from across the planet and sent a chill up the spine of the tamers and digidestined.

" What was that?" asked JP.

" I take it they didn't stop him." Said izzy.
" Takato, can you get a read on this guy?" asked Tai.

" I'll try." He answered as he whipped out his digivice and scanned him.
DA: shendumon the fire deamon; the eldest and strongest of the deamons, he is a master of spells and incantation. His dragon's fire attack can incinerate diamonds.
" Shendumon, it's get to see you out again." the warlord welcomed as the box closed the portal and landed on the ground.

" Well, since you're free, I'll just get my revenge and...."
He was stopped as the invisible collar appeared around neck and levitated him into the air.

" You fool! You wasted your time messing around with you enemies while you were supposed to free me! They could taken the box off you and all our efforts would have been in vain!"

" Sorry." he choked out before he dropped out of the air.

" So now you can let me go right? You can use the box to free the rest."

" No! Do you think when the eight warriors created the box, that they would allow a deamon to touch it? My kind can't even hold it without feeling pain. Until the last of my siblings is free, you will serve me!"

" Fine. But before we do anything, we have to take care of them." he suggested as he pointed to the boys.

" First things first." He growled as smoke began to come out.

" It's been 12,000 years since I've tasted free air. Now to see how weak my powers have gotten."
DRAGON'S FIRE
Sucking in a large gulp of air, his cheeks billowed out and he spat out a large fireball out of his mouth. The projectile traveled a long way before hitting one of the many volcanoes on the planet and explodes. The resulting blast turned the entire sky red as it ripped through the ground, and a high wind blew across the planet. The trio could barely stand while the warlord hid behind shendumon who was stand perfectly still as he grinned at his work. The others weren't fairing as well; everyone was holding on to trees but many of the trees around them were being up rooted. The smaller digimon and human had an even harder time holding. As the smoke cleared, the boys were utterly stunned at the unbelievably large carter that was present.

" Damn! I held back too much power."
The boys were stunned at what he said at that moment.

" You mean all that power and it wasn't his fullest?" asked takuya.

" Now with that out of the way." He said turning his attention to them.

" So you are ones that the deity has sent to stop me. I'm under whelmed."

" Don't take us too lightly." Said takato.

" Yeah. We took down a bunch of villains and we can take you." takuya shot before the deamon laughed.

" You idiots. The deity must be desperate to send humans against me. You have no idea who you are up against. How about this: I like a challenge so for the next minute, I will do nothing. I will stand here and take anything and everything you can throw at me for one minute. If you are as powerful as you think you are, you will destroy me but if you aren't, I'll make you pay for your weakness." He offered as he crossed his massive arms.

" Your minute starts now."

" Ok, he wants it? Let's give it!" takuya exclaimed as he charged forward at the deamon. The remaining two looked at each other and hunched their shoulders as they charged in two. Takuya started off with barrage of punches to the face while Tai and takato punched and kicked the lower half. But despite all this, he didn't move, didn't bruise, and didn't lose the smile on his face.

" You have 50 seconds left."
Takuya looked back in horror at his bloody fists.

" Guys! Get back! I'm burning this sucka down!"
The other two jumped away while takuya took to the air with a ball of energy in each of his hands. With a battle yell, he launch both attack right at the smiling dragon and watched with glee as they exploded on impact but it turned to disbelief as it had no effect. Glaring at the massive, he let loose a machine gun of energy blasts from both hands as a hail of ki waves rained down on the deamon, kicking up a large cloud of smoke. Raising his hand, he gathered all his power into his hand, forming a large red ball. He hurled it at shendumon with all his might and it exploded with a great force that shook the ground. But despite all this, he remained unmoved.

" You have 40 seconds left. And I'm still not impressed yet."

" Takuya! Get down!"
Tai was behind him with both arms out to his sides as he began his attack. Groaning a little, he formed what the others could only describe as buzz saws in his hands that hummed as they spun.

" Ok, here's a little attack I thought up and I have no better person to try it out on then you!"
SPIN CUTTERS
Tai threw the blades of energy down to earth. They cut through some of the tree as they made their way to him. He made no effort to move or dodge them as they hit in a bright flash.

" Got him! No way he could live through that."

" Are you sure?"

" I'm sure takuya. My spin cutters can cut through anything."

" Well someone forgot to tell him that." takato pointed out as the blades did hit him but didn't go any further. They began to slow down and soon came to a stop, dissolving back into air.

" The clock's ticking boys."

" That's it! Time to go all out!" takato said as he prepared for his 'hazard wave'.
HAZARD WAVE
Takato's attack, like the others, hit him dead on but as the dust cleared, shendumon was still unharmed.

" You got ten seconds left."
The boys, out of desperation, launched an all out assault of energy attacks against him. The warlord took cover as the assault came down. The trio of boys slowly floated down, out of breath. Out of the smoke and dirt, walked the deamon with a frown on his face.

" I expected better things out of you. I thought since you could do energy attacks, you would be a challenge for me. I was wrong. You're nothing to me. I gave you a minute and you did nothing to hurt. Now you will pay. You're not even worth my full or half my power. Yes, only 1% of my full power is enough." He said as the boy took a defensive stance.

" So what are you guys thinking?" Tai asked.

" My guess. This guy's is all about strength, not speed. So if we keep moving, we might take the advantage." Answered takato.

" Yeah and if he's only using only 1% of his full power, he can't be that strong." Added takuya.

" You are truly fools if you think those things. The only reason I don't use all my power is that it would be like using an atomic bomb to kill a bunny. It would be just overkill. As for your strength vs. speed strategy, as wise as that sounds, it will teach you a valuable lesson......"
In a blink of an eye, he vanished and appeared behind them.

" Looks can be deceiving."

" Was that a dimension shift? Like the warlord's?" asked takuya.

" No. I merely jogged behind you."

" Damn! That pure speed and I didn't see him move at all." Said Tai.

" Enough talk! Time to battle!" he roared as he flew straight at takuya with a fist. Takuya saw it coming and put his arm to block the blow. When his arm stopped his fist, neither fighter moved a inch when all of sudden, the warrior of fire responded to his attack;

" AHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
He screamed in unimaginable pain, grabbing his arm and fell to the ground. Tai and takato came to his aid as shendumon stood back with a grin.

" Takuya are you all right?" asked Tai as checked him over.

" It hurts! It hurts!" he kept saying over and over.

" My god?"

" What?" asked the tamer.

" His arm. It's shattered." He simply said as he looked over to the deamon.

" He's lucky. If hadn't blocked it, it would have taken his head off."
Takato, mad enough as is, went on the attack and turned into an ascendant. He punched with all his power and speed but the deamon easily as if they were going in slow motion. He grabbed one of his fists and launched one of his own. When it hit takato's face, it turned and contorted into unnatural shapes and his eyes rolled into the back of his head. Shendumon pounded takato with punched and boots to the body but he didn't seem to fight back because he looked to be out on his feet. His clothes began to tear and fall apart under the power of his fists.

" TAKATO!" Tai screamed as he charged in for the rescue by attacking his back. Shendumon, still pounding the helpless takato, looked back and just then, his ponytail seemed to come alive and slap Tai in the face. It wrapped itself around his body as he threw takato down.

" Nice try but my pony tail is not just there to hold my hair down. It's like my tail and I can control it as such." He explained as he flicked his tail out and flung Tai into the air. The digidestined of courage landed on his feet and jumped back into the air with a flying kick. Shendumon jumped up, smashed his feet with his own and cloth lined him, causing the teen to do a 360 in mid air before hitting the ground.

" Hey! Lizard breath! I'm not done yet!"

He looked over to see takuya standing to his feet with his arm hanging limply from his body. He fired a ki blast right in his face but it did nothing. He kept up the barrage until he opened his mouth.
DRAGON'S FIRE
Takuya dodged the attack but it caught him on the back. Takuya screamed in pain as it burned. His shirt was burnt off from the back and his back was charred black. Shendumon dashed over and kicked him as he fell. Meanwhile takato, now conscious, struggled to he get to his feet. He looked over to see his comrades in goggles, beaten and broken. Summoning all his power, he power up to ascendant 2 and ran to him. Shendumon looked over in time to see the fist of the anger tamer. The punch cocked his head to the side as takato landed on the other side.

" Well very good. I felt that." he smiled before he punched him again in the stomach and slammed him into the ground.

" Excellent. Just excellent." The warlord complemented as he clapped and looked over the carnage.

" My word! You certainly give the word smackdown a new meaning." He laughed.

" Thank you."

" I could kill them so easily right now. But I won't. I would rather see the look on the others' faces as we drag them back in this state."

" Others?"

" Yeah, they came with their allies. A whole mess of humans and digimon few miles that way."

" Hmm. This changes everyone. Take me to them."

" Gladly."

" Not...so...fast."
Both villains turned to see Tai, takato, and takuya barely and weakly making it to their feet.

" Persistent aren't they?"

" Yes. It's a trail that I find most annoying."

" Well it is impressive that they can stand, let alone want to fight. Well, I should give them what they want." He smiled as he flew forward and began to savagely beat the boys while the warlord watch like a giddy child.
" It's been over an hour. Some one should go out and see if they are ok." said Davis.

" And how? None of the digimon are up to doing anything." Said jeri as she looked over at the battered digimon.

" I'll go. I owe takuya that much." Said koji.

" No way. Tai said stay here. Besides, if anything comes up, they handle it." said izzy.

" Yeah but it wouldn't hurt to check on them." added Henry.

" I wish I could knew what's happening." Kari said as she paced around in worry.

" You wish is granted."
The group turned to the voice of the warlord to see him smiling smugly along with a huge digimon they could only guess was the fire deamon. All he had on his face was a toothy grin with his hands behind his back. The digimon, despite being hurt, jumped to their partner's defense.

" Just stay right there. Who's he?" shot gatomon.

" Oh, digi-fools, wannabes, and newbies, allow me to introduce my benefactor, shendumon, the fire deamon."

" Enough with the bio! Where's takato?" yelled rika.

" Takato?" the deamon pondered.

" You know who." The warlord answer, motioning his head behind him.

" Ah! Well since you asked, I shall deliver."
He removed his hands from behind his back to reveal a sight that made even the ice cold Demeter of renamon melt in horror and koji near vomit in shock; in both of his massive claws, he held takato and takuya by the neck, both beaten, bloody, and broken. Their faces were swollen and bloody, their clothes ripped and torn with bloodstains and dirt on them, and their bodies were limp and lifeless.

" Oh and less I forget." He said as his ponytail lift up the body of Tai by the foot, his body in not much better condition than the young boys. He threw the trio to the ground in a heap and crossed his arms as the gang came to their aid.

" Don't worry yourselves. They are alive. Be glad I held back."

" They're alive barely." Henry said as he took a pulse from each of them.

" Is this it?"

" What?" said the warlord.

" Is this the best that the deity can send against me; some humans and a few mongrel digimon?!" he shouted, almost disappointed.

" You sound almost like you weren't satisfied." Said koji.

" Well wasn't what you did to they satisfying enough for you?" demanded JP.

" NO! It wasn't! I am a deamon! By my right and my blood, I should be fighting against the greatest warrior in the digi-verse! But all I get is this! The current deity underestimates our power and overestimates yours!" he said turning from them in disgust.

" By right, I should kill you all but I won't. Simply because you were bold enough to try to fight me, I will give you a choice; take your wounded back to central planet, tell the deity that nothing he has can stop us, and go back to your worlds."

" Or?" said renamon.

" Or you can try to stop me from freeing the rest of my siblings. Although it would be entertaining to see you all try, it would be your best interest to not too. The choice is yours."
With that, he extended one of his fingers and seeming torn a hole in the air and a portal was formed.

" Come. We have places to go, portals to find, family to release." He said as he entered the portal.

" Oh sora? When Tai wakes up, tell him I said sorry for the ass whooping!" the warlord taunted as he darted into the hole, leaving the team tending to Tai, takato and takuya.

" Now what guys?" Mimi asked to no one in particular.

" First we get them back so Simms can heal them." said sora.

" And then what?" asked Zoe.

" Pray."
NEXT TIME: the gang regroups and heads back out to the next portal but not only. They are gonna have a little help.
