Me: (jumps around in a happy, festive mood) Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah…
Davis: (sweat-drops) Uh…what's up with him?
Me: You haven't heard the news?
Tai: We've been traveling the world, so we haven't had time to watch the news.
Me: (slightly irritated) I'd hurt you, but you're one of the reasons I'm hyped up right now.
Sora: Tai? The reason you're spazzed out?
Tai: He said one of the reasons. Who's the other?
Me: You're talking to her right now.
(Tai and Sora blush)
Me: I've heard that the Fox producers are showing the Japanese version of Digimon for the sole purpose of marrying the two of you!
Tai/Sora: Us? Really?
Me: That was my first reaction, too!
Tai: YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! (starts jumping around with me) Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah…
Sora: Our ecstatic writer doesn't own Digimon.
Davis: If he did, he'd leave everything as it is! Why? 'Cause look how it turns out!
Sora: (sighs dreamily) A happy ending…
Davis: (sweat-drops) Uh…yeah. This also contains Daikari, Takari, Daiyako and Taiora-AHHHHHHHH!!!!! (cries out as Yolei hugs him tightly)
Yolei: Daiyako? Really? PERFECTO!
Davis: Yolei…can't…breathe…
Digimon
The battle known as Digigeddon
Chap.VIII-Battle of the heart
The younger members of the DigiDestined were primed and ready to handle this batch of evil Digimon poised to take over their world as well as the Digital World.
"OK Yolei, run it by me one more time: Who are we battling again?"
Yolei wasn't irritated at all. She'd answer Davis on how well he used to bite his toenails if it meant a chance to talk with him! "Izzy sent me an e-mail on the Digimon we're supposed to be battling: Devimon, Lady Devimon, Arukenimon, Piedmon and Kimeramon. A total of one Champion, three Ultimates and one Mega Digimon to handle."
Davis flexed his muscles with ease and smiled. "A piece of cake! With this army of Mega Digimon on our team, we'll have this wrapped up before dinner." He declared calmly.
"Maybe, but just the same, we should be wary of any troubles we encounter." Advised T.K.
Davis knew one thing: Back in the old days, he'd have protested against T.K.'s advice but within the time he'd been a DigiDestined, he'd learned that you had to follow your gut. He knew this already, but it served him even more so alongside his partner, Veemon.
"DAVIS! LOOK OUT!" Yolei's cry rang through Davis' ears as he looked up from his reverie to see a sword heading straight for his head! He ducked and it barely whizzed by his head! Piedmon floated above them alongside Devimon and LadyDevimon. Arukenimon and Kimeramon were below on the ground.
"DigiDestined! The odds aren't in your favor on the battleground. Surrender now, and we promise we won't try to destroy you until your friends arrive." Boomed Piedmon's voice.
"Fat chance, pal! We've defeated you jerks once before and we'll do it again." Retorted Davis defiantly.
Imperialdramon flew upward and took the fight to Piedmon with Davis and Ken still on his back. Vikemon rushed Arukenimon and Kimeramon like a quarterback on Monday Night Football with T.K. and Cody beside him. And Valkyrimon joined Imperialdramon in the skies but went to battle Devimon and LadyDevimon with Kari and Yolei alongside.
Tai Kamiya yawned with slight irritation. He'd located Davis and the others, but they were too far away to help them. The odds were in their favor, but if Diaboromon were to engage them in battle, their odds would be slightly diminished.
"No offense PhoenixGreymon, but could you kick it into high gear for a bit? Just until we get to Davis and the others."
The right side of PhoenixGreymon eyed Sora Takenouchi with a questioning look. One half of this DNA Digivolved Digimon was willing to obey Tai's request. The other half had to abide by Sora's. Without breaking her gaze from Tai's chocolate eyes, she nodded. Instantly, the two felt the air whipping by them a bit faster than what it had been moments ago.
"Hey! Any reason why you two have suddenly decided to make this a race?" Mimi asked calmly.
"If we want to help out Davis and the others, I suggest you 'pick up the pace.'" Declared Izzy calmly as he and Kabuterimon sped by.
Smiling, Matt, Mimi and MetalGarurumon flew faster as Joe and Zudomon swam faster so they could catch up to their young protégés.
"Touch of Evil!"
"Darkness Wave!"
Valkyrimon barely avoided the attack and retaliated with one of its own. "Feral Sword!" (A/N: An actual attack; check the Dterminal)
The attack did critical damage to Devimon and deleted him instantly; LadyDevimon was fazed, but instantly recovered.
"Be careful, you two. According to Tai, she's just as dangerous as Devimon was. Keep your guard up," warned Davis. Yolei smiled as she looked into Davis' eyes. There was a hint of fear that something would happen to them.
"Are you concerned for me as a friend, or as something more?" Yolei's eyes pierced Davis' own with that question. Blushing fiercely, Davis was about to respond but Piedmon launched his Trump Sword attack and Imperialdramon had to avoid it.
As for Vikemon, he was handling himself well. He'd handled Kimeramon without a problem; it was Arukenimon that was tiring him out.
"T.K., we've got to figure out a way to slow Arukenimon down. She's unstoppable as long as she's on that web of hers."
T.K. nodded at Cody. "I know. And I have an idea, but it'll require separating our Digimon."
Seconds later, Vikemon deDigivolved into Patamon and Armadillomon.
"OK, pal. Let's do it old school style!" T.K. demanded as his D3 shrieked and shook in his hand.
"Patamon Digivolve to…ANGEMON!!!"
"You had a better chance as a Mega, Angemon. In your Champion form, you don't stand a chance. Spider Thread!!" Angemon avoided Arukenimon's attack and awaited T.K.'s instructions.
"Who said anything about a Champion?" The Crest of Hope glowed brightly around T.K's neck as Angemon gained the ability to Digivolve to the Ultimate level.
"Angemon Digivolve to…MAGNAANGEMON!!!"
"Gate of Destiny!!" A circle appeared in the air and within seconds, Arukenimon disappeared inside it.
"YEAH!"
Despite the fact that Imperialdramon was a Mega like Piedmon, he was being forced on the defensive thanks to his Trump Sword attack.
"Come on! There's got to be some way past those swords." Davis insists angrily.
"There's one way to defeat a Mega like Piedmon." Explained T.K. as he appeared with Cody and Armadillomon. They were on MagnaAngemon's back and managed to sneak behind Piedmon without being seen.
"Gate of Destiny!!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! NOT AGAINNNNNNNN!!!!!!" Piedmon's shrieks of terror went unheeded by the DigiDestined as he hurtled through the circle once again. The DigiDestined cheered as the Gate of Destiny closed.
"WE DID IT!"
"NICE WORK, T.K.!"
"PERFECTO JOB, DAVIS!"
"NOT BAD, YOLEI!"
WHAM!! Diaboromon's Cable Crusher attack nailed Imperialdramon and MagnaAngemon, which forced them to deDigivolve to Veemon, Wormmon and Patamon and sent Davis, Ken, T.K., Cody and Armadillomon flying downward.
"T.K.!"
"DAVISSSSSSS!!!!" Kari and Yolei's D3's shrieked and glowed with light. Valkyrimon suddenly separated into Gatomon and Aquillamon.
"Gatomon Warp-Digivolve to…MAGNADRAMON!!!"
"Aquillamon Warp-Digivolve to…VALKYRIMON!!!"
Davis gaped in shock as Valkyrimon swooped down and saved him, Ken, Veemon and Wormmon. Magnadramon flew over and saved T.K., Cody and Armadillomon.
"How-how-HOW'D HAWKMON DIGIVOLVE TO A MEGA?!" cried Davis in shock.
The look on Yolei's face was all it took to register Davis' feelings. "What do you think?"
"She does love me! Why else would Hawkmon have Digivolved without Gatomon?"
A second later, PhoenixGreymon, MetalGarurumon, Kabuterimon and Zudomon entered in. Mimi's Digivice glowed brightly as they looked at Diaboromon.
"Palmon Digivolve to…TOGEMON!!!"
"Togemon Digivolve to…LILLYMON!!!"
Tai eyed the other DigiDestined atop PhoenixGreymon. "Everyone, attack at the same time!"
"Flames of Courage!!"
"Force of Love!!"
"Electro Shocker!!"
"Metal Wolf Claw!!"
"Flower Cannon!!"
"Vulcan's Hammer!!"
"Fire Tornado!!"
"Feral Sword!!"
The attacks hit Diaboromon and deleted him within seconds. It took the DigiDestined a full minute to realize what had happened.
"We did it. We beat all those Digimon!"
The DigiDestined cheered as they crowded around PhoenixGreymon in amazement, curious to know how he was created. Suddenly, everything shook and the skies darkened.
"What the heck's going on?" demanded Davis angrily.
That's when a voice boomed out to them so loudly, that they could've been visiting Mimi in America and they still would've heard it.
"DigiDestined! The time has come for your downfall! You may have bested those weaker types, but now the game gets serious!"
It was at that moment that the DigiDestined realized the true purpose for Digigeddon: The return of Apocalymon-and his possible success!
Amazing! Can the DigiDestined defeat their greatest foe one last time and prevent the destruction of their world? Find out next time! TAIORA FOREVER!!!
