Part 6
Victories and Defeat
The battle raged on in the once beautiful Primal Village, which now lay in rubber as the three angelic digimon battle. The dark digimon, Hydroangemon, was now holding his own against Astroangemon and Angewomon who at first had the upper hand. It seemed as if the dragon digimon had gained some unforeseen power, while Astroangemon was slowly being drain of his power.
"Astroangemon, this isn't working," Angewomon shouted, as Astroangemon was ram into the ground by Hydroangemon.
"I think you're right," He shouted as he pulled himself out of the crater in the ground, "I've been feeling kind of weak."
"Celestial Arrow," Angewomon shouted as Hydroangemon rocketed toward her. She shot one of her light arrows straight at the face of Hydroangemon who slapped it away and continued her flight toward his victim.
"Oh, No you don't," Astroangemon screamed as he slammed into Hydroangemon's back sending him into the ground. "Something is…. Ahhhh!" Astroangemon yelled as his body exploded with pain.
"Astroangemon, what is wrong?" Angewomon asked with deep concern in her voice.
Meanwhile below on the hill, T.K. struggle and squirm in vain as the shadow boy's grip harden like steel around his waist and mouth.
"Let him go!" Matt screamed as he grabbed the boy's hand around his brother's mouth. "He can't breath!" "You're going to suffocate him."
This was true as T.K. began to struggle less and less.
"In twenty-seconds," the dark T.K. smiled," it won't even matter." "He be blow to pieces."
"No, let him go!" Matt screamed as he tugged at the single hand putting all his weight into it, then when he discovered this wouldn't work he fired a punch into the boy's face. Cause Matt pain, but leaving the boy relatively unharmed by this action.
"Matt, move out of the way!" Tsunomon yelled when he realized that Matt had absolutely no way of prying the hand off. "Bubble Pop!" he cried as a single pink bubble floated from his mouth and softly hit the hand cause no damage to the boy. "It just as I thought he is a lot stronger than me in this form, Matt." "There is no way you or I can free him!"
"Tsunomon, I not just going to leave my brother to died." Matt fired back in a fit of rage.
"Now, Now, Brother, you shouldn't yell at your digimon," T.K. spoke darkly. "He is right, you should go save yourself, because you only have 17 more seconds to escape my blast." "Haaaaa!"
"I'm not your brother!" Matt yelled back as he clutches his fist uselessly.
The dark T.K. yelp as a now glowing Kari places her hands on the boy's hand that lay on T.K.'s mouth. The hand instantly released its grip, and then proceeded to strike Kari hard across the face; sending the girl to the ground. Her pink glow fading away.
"You stupid *%#*!" "How dare you?" T.K. spoke softly. " But I to admit that you have more guts than I thought, so I will save you for my master." With these words, a black shield covered the shadow and the boy. "You'll not be harm by our deaths, but you will instead become one of the slaves of my dark lord." "We have 15 more seconds!"
It was then as the shadow boy spoke these words that Shadidomon made his move. He flew up into the sky just as Astroangemon recovered from the pain that had filled his body.
"T.K. needs me!" Astroangemon spoke meanly. "I must end this quickly," and then he turns to the still unsure Angewomon. "When he comes back we must somehow throw him off guard long enough for me to use my most powerful move."
"If that is the case then I think I can arrange for a slight distraction." Then she flew toward her target, while Astroangemon began to power up.
Angewomon then powered up her bow like she was about to try her Celestial Arrows again at the now charged Hydroangemon. Then at the last second instead of firing her arrows when he was in close range she swung her bow connecting with his chin, catching him off guard, and sending him flying through the air.
"Now Astroangemon, this might be your last chance," Angewomon directed the moment the move was successful.
"Holy Sword," Astroangemon yelled as a sword appeared in his hand from a single bolt of lightning. Then he charged the digimon as it floated closer to the ground. "Holy Strike," Astroangemon yelled as he closed in on his foe and then with a series of lightning fast slices defeated Hydroangemon who returned to his rookie form.
Then Shadidomon appeared in front of the angelic digimon, and landed next to the defeated Patamon. "You have fail me!"
"I am--am sorry, Master," he stammered, I will do better next time."
"I do not tolerate failure among my legions," Shadidomon stated unemotionally," Shadow Ball." Then a small ball of darkness leap from his hand and hit Patamon head on, incinerating him instantly. The he turns his head and shot another ball of equal size at Astroangemon hitting him in the chest. This move ended the life of both digimon as Astroangemon de-digivolved back into Patamon, and then broke apart as his eyes closed for the last time; all before the digimon was able to hit the ground. Angewomon was astounded as the dark digimon turn his eyes on her.
"Patamon," the shadow boy yelled as he watched the whole scene helplessly. "I don't understand." "I thought he was going to revive me and we would help him take over the digital world." "But..But he just destroyed Patamon, my only link back to this world." T.K."s shadowed muttered in a scared voice," that means when I explode that is it." "I'm dead!"
"Pat..Patamon, "T.K. stammered as he struggled in the boy's arms. Tears formed in T.K.'s crystal eyes as he thought about the death of his best friend and digimon partner.
Kari after seeing this weep openly as Angewomon retreated quickly with Shadidomon in hot pursuit.
"See, Shadidomon, cares nothing for you." Matt began soberly. "If you died no one will care, but if you stop and release my brother, maybe you can take a step toward getting revenge for your Patamon."
"There is nothing I can do!" The boy stated. "Without Patamon I can't control my powers, which means I can't lower my shield or stop the explosion." "Shadidomon has had the last laugh." The boy stated as despair wash over him causing his shield to glow even more and empowering Tsunomon. "But maybe I do have a way to help you avenge your Patamon." "Tell Tsunomon to try and digivole now."
"Tsunomon, you heard the shadow," Matt encouraged his digimon.
"Here goes nothing, Tsunomon digivolve to….," Tsunomon began as the blue light engulf him and he began to digivolve,"Gabumon." The furry creature look up at Matt and smiled," it worked."
"Now lets try for a warp digivolve."
"You got it Matt!" "Gabumon warp digvolved to….," Gabumon began to streak through all his other digivolving stages until his reach his Mega form," ..Metal Garurumon."
"Metal Garurumon, can you try to blast though that force field?" Matt questioned hopefully.
"I'm sorry, Matt, but my attack will do more harm than good, but maybe Angewomon would be of more help." Metal Garurumon howled as he charged off the hill and headed for the two other digimon racing in the air.
"Hurry, Metal Garurumon!" T.K. sobbed. "We only have 10 more seconds!" The boy turned terrified eyes upon his brother. "Matt I don't want to die," he stated pleadingly.
"Don't worry, Metal Garurumon, will bring Angewomon back to help you." Matt tried to reassure his brother, meanwhile in his heart he knew that his T.K. was doom.
Shadidomon closed in on his prey and at the last moment prepared another shadow ball. "Good-bye, Angewomon," He sneered.
Then a silvery blur caught Shadidomon in his stomach as he lost the shadow ball and was tackled to the ground. Shadidomon landed on the ground skidding with the huge metal creature on top of him.
"No way!" Metal Garurumon sneered as he pinned the dark shadow to the ground.
"Angewomon, Kari needs you!" He shouted as the angelic digimon slowed down to descend beside him. "It is an emergency!"
Angewomon than quickly rose back into the air and headed for the hill, and just before she got there a light exploded on the hill blanketing the world in white; destroying all darkness including the pinned Shadidomon who saw his end rushing toward him and his dark cages.
