Now let's get onto reading!
The time to end this has finally come.
The deciding factors of this long-standing war is now before us. The line will be cut, and the success of failure of this battle will determine the fate of the Digital World. If will determine our battle prowess, and then...we will see if we are fit to guard the Digital World.
Will we be discarded like rags after this is complete? I dare not ponder...my friends are counting on me...I must go...
~Diary of Tao 'Blitz' Lee, the lost Destined.
* * * * * *
Tao's blade crossed against Freymon's halberd shaft, the blade a few inches away from the Digi-Destined's face. With great strength, Tao pushed the Digimon away from him, giving a short period of time to catch his breath.
"Tao, let me at him!" Harriermon pleaded. It was clear the Digi-Destined wouldn't last much longer against this emerald clad armoured Digimon.
"No way!" Tao shouted back, readying his blade once more. "You need to save your energy for the big battle coming up!"
"There won't be a big battle if you don't survive this encounter!!" Harriermon exclaimed, stepping forward.
"Leave it!" Tao shouted, deflecting another blow from the halberd. Sweat was clear on his forehead, the Digi-Destined becoming more exhausted for each passing second.
"Well Shas, looks like I won't be joining you in this final assault," Tao thought, closing his eyes while awaiting the next attack.
"Swift death awaits you, Digi-Destined," Freymon spoke, readying his weapon once more.
"Serangmon didn't send you," Tao spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, raising his weapon once more. He opened his eyes, watching the Digimon circling him.
"That Angel knows nothing," Freymon replied bitterly, running forward once more.
"I thought so," Tao replied under his breath, blocking the blow once more. The force from the axe weapon pushed him back, though the Digi-Destined held his balance. "If Serangmon didn't send this Digimon, then..." His thought was cut short as he was forced to block another blow from the massive axe like weapon.
"At least it doesn't compare at all to Axeramon's weapon," Tao thought, stepping back and awaiting more of the onslaught. Harriermon could do nothing but watch his partner fight a losing battle.
* * * * * *
Just as quickly as the four Digimon Warped Digivolve to their Mega stage, a flood of Ultimate, Champion, and Rookie level Digimon met them.
"That's a lot more resistance then I expected..." Tiberius thought, watching Avengemon knockout another two Digimon with his broad sword.
"Even with the power advantage, we're still outnumbered..." Marc told himself, watching Hydramon defend himself on four different fronts, a head for each side.
"Come on Kenokomon, we have to break though..." Shastina whispered, clasping her hands. The Mega level Digimon continued to slash through the masses.
"Every one Digimon we strike down, another two takes its place," K.H. saw. Matalefmon continued to spray mist about, disabling and damaging Digimon on masse, but to no avail.
"CONVERGING WRATH!"
Hydramon's massive ball of quad elemental energy bowled through the ranks of opposing Digimon. Despite the power, the hole in the line was quickly covered.
"Hell, this isn't working!" Kenokomon screamed out over the shouts. Her shoulder blades made contact with another Digimon. In another second, she slashed down another two Digimon, both Champion level. In their place were twenty Rookies.
The battle raged on, many variations of Digimon from Rookie to Ultimate swarming the group of Digi-Destined.
* * * * * *
Serangmon watched the battle unfold from his room, right hand placed flat against the glass of the door.
"Will they break through?" Serangmon asked the figure in the corner. Their was a brief pause, then the answer.
"Yes, their reinforcements is on the way," the figure replied. Serangmon nodded slowly, taking his blades from the table and turning away.
"I pray you keep your word, old friend," Serangmon spoke softly, walking past the corner.
"Do not worry, my word will be true," the figure answered. "Just do not hold back. They must be prepared for the task at hand."
"I understand," the Angel Digimon answered, opening the door and stepping out of the room. The figure sighed, watching the door close behind the Angel.
"I wish you didn't have to do this, old friend," the figure spoke softly.
* * * * * *
Tao slipped backwards, still standing, but clearly opened for a blow.
"You're dead!!" Freymon exclaimed, raising his halberd over his head and about to swing down.
"TAO!!" Harriermon shouted out, still unable to do anything. The boy looked up, saw the axe head, then reeled back, closing his eyes.
Metal clashed on metal as the axe head was halted by the sharp edge of another blade. Tao fell down, then opened his eyes, a female with black hair tied in a pony tail standing before him.
"Z-Z-Zera?!" Tao exclaimed, getting up and stepping back from the female that wanted him dead. The female looked back, grinned, then pushed the axe blade away. Freymon retreated for a moment, assessing the new development.
"My favourite Mega Man X author," Zera commented, grinning at Tao. "Sorry about before, it just wasn't me when that happened."
"B-But..." Harriermon stammered, though silenced by the female.
"No time to talk!" Zera exclaimed. "They're waiting for you, go!"
"You can't take Freymon on alone!" Tao protested, though Zera paid no heed to the warning. She dashed forward, striking with strong blows that forced Freymon into the defensive.
"I'll be alright, but your friends won't if you don't help them!" she shouted angrily, whacking Freymon away with the side of her blade. "Now get out of here before I have to kick your damn sorry ass in!"
Tao was taken aback by those harsh words, but nodded slowly. His responsibilities lied elsewhere at this moment, and he was already behind schedule.
"Harrier, let's get moving!" Tao ordered, dashing off. Harriermon flew close behind him, a bit dubious about leaving the black hair female behind, but didn't protest. Their goal was at another battle in this world.
* * * * * *
The four Mega level Digimon made a protective circle around their partners. They were boxed in, and it didn't seem very good for the team of Digi-Destined and Digimon to reach the front doors with this kind of flood.
"We're open for suggestions..." Tiberius spoke out, watching the ring of Digimon slowly converging on them.
"If I had one, I'd say so," K.H. responded bitterly, Digivice gripped tightly in his hand.
"I have one!" a voice shouted from outside the ring. Eyes fell on to the direction of the voice, though only the taller of the Mega level Digimon saw what was going on.
"Who is it?" Shastina asked, curious on who else would be crazy enough to attack Serangmon.
"It's Yasmine!!" Hydramon exclaimed. "And she's got a hell load of Digimon following her."
"Why thank you, Hydramon," Yasmine commented, looking up at the four headed dragon. She glanced left, then right. The first generation Digi-Destined was flanked by Digimon, also of various levels from Rookies to Ultimate level Digimon. Lushellemon stood by her partners side, ready to fight for the Digital World.
"Let's get to it!" Yasmine shouted. A battle cry erupted from the crowd of Digimon as they all flooded forward into the ring. The circle dispersed as Digimon collided in a massive bloodbath of Digital proportions.
"Tiberius, take your party and take on Serangmon!" Yasmine shouted over the crowd, barely audible, but heard, nevertheless. If her voice was clearer, the four Digi-Destined could have heard the pained voice in the first generation Digi-Destined's throat. Tiberius needed no encouragement, rallying the group into the next phases of the assault. The four Digi-Destined and their Digimon made headway for the house, a hail of fire busting down the front doors before they were close to the door.
"Go! Go! Go!" Marc exclaimed, keeping rear guard with Hydramon. He glanced back at the tidal wave of Digimon, hoping Yasmine was okay.
"She'll be fine," Tiberius spoke softly, also glancing back, as well as noticing Marc's concern. "We'll have to thank her for assembling such a group of Digimon to help us out at such a pivotal point in the battle." Marc nodded in agreement, entering the abode of Serangmon with Tiberius at his side.
* * * * * *
The four Mega level Digimon entered the massive chamber one at a time in single file line. Upon entering, each Digimon was awed by the sheer size of the chamber.
"It's like a football field..." K.H. commented after he stepped into the room. One the walls were many torches that illuminated the room. Four support pillars were in the room as well, as aligned with torches. The walls themselves were bare, without colour.
"I'm glad you like my arena," Serangmon commented, quickly getting the attention of the Digimon and their Digi-Destined. The Angel Digimon stood in the middle of the chamber, rapiers in his hands, though both were pointed towards the floor. "In this room will a resting place. It is all just a matter on who's resting place it will become."
"It'll become yours!" Shastina shouted defiantly. She curled his hands into fists, anxious to end this long drawn out war. Serangmon raised his blades, crossing them.
"We will see..." he spoke softly. "We will see..."
* * * * * *
Yasmine surveyed the battle, watching Digimon hack and slash and throw their respective attacks back and forth in the lines. She hated sitting back and doing nothing while others fought with all their might to save the Digital World.
"If only there was more I can do..." Yasmine whispered, watching the battle continue to unfold.
"Yasmine!" he shouted out, making Yasmine turn around. Before her was Tao, panting and out of breath. Harriermon landed beside the boy.
"I was wondering when you would show up," Yasmine commented, smiling a little. Tao grunted, nodding.
"Where are they?" Tao asked quickly, standing back up straight to show no more signs of weakness of fatigue.
"Inside," Yasmine spoke, pointing towards the house. "I'm guessing out to finish the mission." Tao nodded once more, glancing down at Harriermon. The Digi-Destined raised his Digivice and pointed it towards his comrade.
"Harriermon...Warp Digivolve to...Hikaglemon!"
"Thanks, Yasmine," Tao told the other Digi-Destined in gratitude. The humanoid Mega level Digimon lifted Tao up and soared over the raging battle, not wanting to waste anymore time or energy in needless battle.
"Good luck..." Yasmine spoke under her breath, biting her lower lip. "To all of you...good luck..."
* * * * * *
"ANKOKU BLAST!" "SLASH DUO!"
Both Avengemon and Kenokomon blasted their respective attacks at Serangmon. The Angel Digimon crossed his blades, holy energy charging into the metal.
"ARC WAVE!"
The blast of holy energy erupted from the blade and towards the two oncoming beams of energy.
"Slash Duo nullified Arc Wave last time, he stands no chance," Shastina commented softly, though her tone stated her fear.
The holy arc of energy crashed through both the Ankoku Blast and Slash Duo, nullifying the two attacks. Not only did it nullified those two attacks, it kept on going as though the two attacks the arc of holy energy cut through were nothing.
"What?!" both Digimon exclaimed, no time to evade the speeding attack. Two arcs came, one impacting against each Digimon and knocking them down, but far from out.
"CRYSTAL PLAGUE!"
Matalefmon spewed out his mist that could trap Serangmon in a cage of crystals. However, the attack did nothing that Matalefmon hoped for.
"DIVINE SHOCK!"
Holy aura surrounded the Angel Digimon, the mist unable to penetrate the shield. With amazing speed, Serangmon dashed forward, impacting into Matalefmon with incredible force. Once more, a Digimon fell over, stunned, but again, far from out.
Beams of energy flew past and at Serangmon, though his holy aura continued to protect him from the blast. Hydramon continued to unleash beams of elemental energy at the Angel, hoping to break the shield that surrounded the Digimon. Once more, Serangmon dashed towards the dragon Digimon, not afraid of the beams of energy that bounce harmlessly off his aura.
"CONVERGING WRATH!"
Hydramon let lose the ball of elemental energy at Serangmon, knowing this was the only chance at cracking that aura of protection that surrounded the Angel Digimon. Nevertheless, Serangmon made no effort to evade the attack. In fact, he decided to go through the attack, trusting his shield to protect him. As so the shield did, the Angel Digimon soaring through the attack and smashing against Hydramon. Each head gave out a groan of pain as the dragon Digimon fell down. The dragon wasn't knocked unconscious, but he was also in no position to stand back up either. Serangmon landed, raising a rapier and ready to thrust it into the dragon's head with the Crest of Hope on the forehead.
"SILENT SCREAM!"
Kenokomon unleashed her psychic attack, filling Serangmon's mind with an ear piercing scream. The Angel closed his eyes tightly, trying to shut out the attack.
"ARC WAVE!"
He slashed with one of his blades, unleashing another wave of holy energy that his Kenokomon square on the chest despite Serangmon's lack of aiming. She fell back, groaning in pain, stopping her psychic assault. The Angel regained his senses from the damaging scream, just in time to notice Avengemon charging at him, broad sword flailing in his hand. Blade collided with another blade, but without a second weapon and the agility Serangmon possessed, Avengemon stood little chance confronting the Angel at close quarters.
With one strong slash, Avengemon's armour was pierced across the chest, knocking him back down onto the ground.
"CHAOS IMPLOSION!"
Matalefmon released the contained energy ball at Serangmon, trying to get the Angel Digimon by surprise while he was distracted. Serangmon wasn't fooled, charging Holy energy into his rapiers once more. When the ball was close, he lashed out with his left rapier, swatting the massive energy ball away like it was a mere baseball. He quickly followed with his right rapier, unleashing an Arc Wave attack at Matalefmon. Once more, the attack hit home, knocking Matalefmon back down.
"Anyone else?" Serangmon asked, glancing around at the fallen Digimon. "That was hardly worth my time..." he muttered next, ready to finish Avengemon, the closest Digimon by him.
"GRAVITY CANNON!"
Twin beams of gravity energy smashed into the spot where Serangmon used to be. With his amazing reflexes and speed, the Angel Digimon was out of the way, his last occupied spot now a smoking crater. Eyes fell onto the door way, Hikaglemon standing there, his right arm raised, two barrels pointing out from his gauntlet. By his side stood Tao, weapon held firmly, though the boy did not move forward.
"You're mine," Hikaglemon spoke softly, flying forward to confront his adversary. The gauntlet closed up when the Digimon drew both his blades. The twin slash was blocked by Serangmon's rapiers, though the two knew they were evenly matched. Both Digimon carried two weapons and were about the same in terms of agility and dexterity. The Gravity based attacks from Hikaglemon's Gravity Cannon could nullify the Holy based attacks that Serangmon unleashed with Arc Wave, being opposite elements. Now, it was a matter of sword play between the two.
Blades clashed as both the Angel Digimon and Eagle humanoid Digimon bounced back and fourth, trying to gain the upper hand against the other. Well, that was Serangmon's intentions in the duel. Hikaglemon remained completely on the defensive, knowing he alone would not be able to defeat this Mega. The combined might of the entire team was needed to end this battle once and for all. With a quick glance, the Mega level Digimon could see his companions slowly recovering from their wounds, ready for more.
"Kenokomon," Tao spoke softly, approaching the Digimon. She looked up, still a bit disoriented from the last attack against her. "When everyone else is ready to attack, use a Silent Scream to stun Serangmon momentarily. That should be all we need to end this once and for all." The Digimon nodded, slowly getting to her feet.
The two blades collided once more, both Digimon locking each other's blades and pushing closer.
"You won't win this fight..." Serangmon grunted, holding his grip over the locked blades.
"What makes you so sure of that?" Hikaglemon challenged, not budging from his position on holding the locked blades.
"Alone, I have already defeated four Mega level Digimon," Serangmon told him. "You are of no concern if I can defeat them with ease."
"No one ever said they were defeat," Hikaglemon commented, pulling back and unlocking his blades from Serangmon's weapons. Before the Angel could realise what was happening, it already begun.
"SILENT SCREAM!"
Once more, that piercing scream entered his mind, stunning him for that split second Hikaglemon needed. The Digimon pulled back his blade, then drove it forward, impaling it into Serangmon's chest. The screaming stopped as a new sensation of pain pierced his system. Just as quickly, Hikaglemon released the blade and leaped backwards.
"All together!" he shouted out, raising his right arm, the twin barrel of gravity energy goodness emerging from the gauntlet. Twin beams of energy ripped throw the sky.
"GRAVITY CANNON!"
Avengemon needed not be told, his blade charging with energy. A black spear of energy blasted from the tip of the weapon.
"ANKOKU BLAST!"
Matalefmon was already on his wings, charging the ball of energy into his reptilian like legs. The ball of energy was lobbed forward at the wounded Angel.
"CHAOS IMPLOSION!"
Hydramon was back, his heads all ready and charging their elemental powers into one massive blast. The quad element energy ball tore through the arena.
"CONVERGING WRATH!"
Kenokomon charged energy into her shoulder blades, adding the final touch to the massive combo attack. Energy rippled through the air from her shoulder.
"SLASH DUO!"
The five attacks hit the defenceless Angel, causing a chain reaction of explosion that nearly levelled the room if it weren't for the extra supports that the four pillars provided. Digi-Destined were knocked off their feet from the resulting explosion and quaking. Smoke hissed from the point of impact. Slowly, it cleared away, revealing the battered form of Serangmon, lying on the ground, rapiers snapped in multiple pieces. His armour was far from being in the mint condition it used to be in.
Serangmon has been defeated.
