The stage is set for a huge rescue or huge destruction. Someone called the Alliance, but who is he? What is the true goal of NDD? Many things could be asked, but how many could be answered with the truth being bent so much? Artificial General Mazzola has the power to cause problems, and with Noctem gaining more control, more damage can be done! This amazing journey isn't even half way done...
One World Isn't Enough
Don't Leave Me...
TK threw the door apart as he walked into the Main Hall. Soldiers filled the large room, barely an inch of free space could be found even if you searched. Above everyone flew a squad of Airdramon, their wings were almost flat against their bodies. The New Year's decorations were long gone, their purpose served. TK's camouflage uniform clung to his well built frame. His muscles weren't completely shown, but everyone knew they were there. The catwalk fifty feet from the ground had guards posted every few meters. TK's hair swayed from side to side as he walked towards his partner Digimon.
Patamon, only go to the Ultimate this time, we won't need too much strength for this, TK removed his green D-3 from his belt, blue and white colored lights started to flash from the screen.
Patamon flew up into the air near the Airdramon. Patamon digivolve to... the tiny Digimon glowed brightly as he stopped flying up. His body took on a more human form, while angel wings grew from his back. A metal covering appeared over his eyes and forehead. The final adornments covered the body, a blue robe came down from the waist. ... Angemon. The angel Digimon flew over the Alliance forces with ease. Another white light surrounded its body, Angemon digivolve to... a sword came forth from Angemon's right arm. The armor upon his head elongated to the point it went far above his head. More wings grew from his back, and golden strapping grew from the waist. ... Magnaangemon.
As the soldiers watched the angel fly around the Airdramon with little trouble, the doors behind TK flew open from an unknown force. A strange mist flooded in as Gatomon came running in, glowing. She ran to TK, climbed up, and launched from his shoulders. TK was surprised when he felt the paws hit his back, he turned his back, ready to fight, but Gatomon had already launched off. She spun through the air with great finesse, she caught the eyes of the soldiers. Gatomon digivolve to... the cat Digimon took on a human shape and grew multiple wings. A metal covering appeared over her eyes and forehead. A pink scarf-like item materialized around the arms and then around the back. Clothing that resembled silk covered the legs, while fine cloth with two small wings appeared over the bare arms. ... Angewomon.
When the grand entrance was over, small pieces of data swirled around TK. He looked around him, being very surprised, but yet seemed to know who it was. Each piece of data came together into a more solid form. Two legs were made clear first, the head also appeared without any features, making the person roughly TK's height. Two arms materialized around TK's neck, it seemed to be a very leisurely posture. Slowly a smile was seen expanding across the face. Hey, TK, I wanted to surprise you! The rest of the face became clear, as well as the rest of the body. It was Kari, My powers grew to be a little more refined. TK hugged Kari harder than she expected. He spun her around before he spoke.
We're ready, how bout you? He flashed a smile that would make any women faint instantly.
I'm ready, so we should go, now! Kari said loudly towards the end. He smiled again before facing the soldiers, who were staring at the young couple. Stop staring! We better leave before their staring cramp our style! Kari shook her head, while laughing slightly. She closed her eyes as a gentle blue light surrounded her, then everyone else. Slowly, their bodies started to break down into data, starting with the legs. The data flaked off like dead skin or like the battle with Apocalymon. Within a minute, all the people were gone. The open doors slowly creaked shut as a not-so-gentle wind seemed to close them. On the outside, everyone moved about with their business-- scientists, soldiers, Digidestined.
************************************************
The room was dark and eerie, shadows covered the walls. A small compact computer sat at a table, opposite of the door. Tai was slouched over the keyboard typing in long, complicated strings of code. After typing some new coding, and error came up. Error: Champion level Digimon will be locked out now on if this information is pursued, Tai read out loud. He paused for one moment, but then continued typing. Tai used his left hand to fish out his D-3 and locked it into a port attached to the computer. This sure would be easier if Izzy was around. Too bad Noctem couldn't corrupt him. He pressed some buttons on the keyboard, then a holographic image of Greymon was projected from the D-3 into the air. It spun around a few times before breaking down into something that resembled sand as it felt to the ground below. A single tear rolled down his cheek, then fell to the floor. I'll miss you, Greymon. Tai remained silent for another minute, then seemed to stop caring. He started the final tasks to completing the huge undertaking that the Dark Ocean had set out for him. It was nearly done when the door behind him swung open, light flooded the room.
Hey, Tai, almost done? Matt closed the door behind him, the light seized to enter the room.
I finishing up... now, Tai turned around to Matt. Give me your D-3. Tai looked at Matt's face, it was an expression of complete surprise.
Tai... you're hair?
Tai was a little taken back by the comment. I decided to revive old ideals. So I started with my hair. Your D-3? Tai's hair was once again at its upright position, like it had been in his childhood. It will surely put Sora through a loop the next time we see each other. Matt was still surprised, but he managed to take out his D-3 and gave it to Tai. He removed his D-3 from the port and shoved Matt's in. Tai retyped some of the codes so that it would work for Matt's D-3. In no time he was done. Pay attention, Matt, this is really cool. Tai entered the codes into the D-3. Soon enough, a holographic picture of Garurumon was projected from the tiny device. It, too, broke down into something like sand, Garurumon would never be seen again. Okay, when ever you digivolve, nowadays, you will go straight to the Ultimate, skipping the Champion. And the new program allows dark digivolving, so no matter what happens to you when you use it, the outcome will always be the same. The Digimon will be corrupt!
Matt had a smile covering much of his face. This too good!
At least this phase of NDD is working...
************************************************
The Holy Alliance forces walked through the dark forest as fast as they could, the two Ultimates were in front with TK and Kari. Shadows loomed over the thin clearing that was used as a path. Odd coos' and clucks' were heard from all directions, something only the Digidestined were so used to hearing. Kari, doesn't this remind you of that weird forest we were in during our fight with Puppetmon? TK said softly. Kari nodded, but stopped when she saw something moving in the corner of her eye. She turned to see what it was, yet nothing was there. They continued the trek through the darkness, until the darkness let go to a brightly lit clearing near one of the bases. The soldiers relaxed for one moment, lowering their weapons. Behind one of the trees, General Mazzola stood, holding what resembled a detonation device. A smirk spread across his face as the last few soldiers came into the clearing. He pressed the button on the device, resulting in an explosion of data. Each and every tree, rock, and lesser Digimon melted away into the yellow-brown ground below. In the center of where the clearing used to be, a Digimon, with mist for a body, floated out of the ground slowly. The soldiers turned their attentions to the evil Digimon, while TK and Kari looked at the general.
Who are you? What do you want? TK screamed out at the unknown person. The general walked forward from his spot towards TK. Who are you!
I am a brother, he spoke in Matt's voice. I am a leader, he said in Tai's voice. I am a destroyer, now in Noctem's voice. I am Artificial General Mazzola, loyal to the Digital Aftermath, he then said in his less-than-normal voice. Kari took a step back, in case of an emergency that should inflict them. Come on, let's fight! TK ran to General Mazzola, drawing his sword out. He brought the sword up, then forced it back down to the general's arm. The sword dug into the skin, but never caused pain, only strange black-tinted blood came out. It remained there as the general spoke. You should probably know, Artificials are incredibly powerful and tend not to fell pain. Humans are weak, even as Digidestined! General Mazzola kicked TK in the stomach with full force, knocking him back several meters, then into some dense bushes. The sword within the general's arm started to smoke, then melted away into his arm. You just made my crystalline bone structure even stronger. Kari, do you want a turn? He waved her over.
I am so... tired... of... people... trying... to take... over... the... Digital World! Kari paused every time she tried to hit General Mazzola. As the mini-fight continued, the soldiers started to fight the mysterious Digimon that came out of the ground. Each person ran up as fast as they could, but were struck down instantly by the spiked arms. Dedramon drifted into near bliss as it flowed into each motion of its arms. The demonic red eyes closed as the movement became softer and more lethal. Bullets were shot from the guns, yet did nothing as they passed through the Digimon without harming it. Bodies piled up around Dedramon with each death it caused, soon no more bodies were gathering, because the dead bodies were now higher than Dedramon. The soldiers didn't know what to do, but were lashed out at when two spiked arms flew over the bodies and impaled the remaining soldiers. We will stop you, Mazzola! That's for sure! The two Ultimate level Digimon, that flew high in the air, came down with deadly force upon Dedramon. Magnaangemon's sword passed through the demon Digimon, but did nothing. The mace-like right arm that Dedramon bore shot forward, hitting Angewomon's wings, causing her to lose control. She fell to ground far to fast to be safe, but was slowed down when she passed through Dedramon's hazy body. Angewomon rolled over the ground before coming to a complete stop, dust clouded around her. Her body shook violently as small splotches of black slime' spread across the wings, arms, and legs. Angewomon downgraded into Gatomon, then into Salamon, and finally Nyarimon. The slime creeped away from the In-Training's body and back to Dedramon. Meanwhile, Kari struggled with Mazzola, and TK was unconscious in the bushes. TK rolled over and slowly woke up to see Kari be backhanded by Mazzola, knocking her back, much like TK. He got up to try to confront Mazzola, but wasn't prepared for gravity.
General Mazzola whistled to his Digimon. Finish off that damn angel, now! Dedramon spun around to face the angel Digimon for the final assault.
Shadow Strike, the two spiked arms shot forward. Magnaangemon attempted to use the Gate of Destiny, but he was too slow. One of the arms smashed into Magnaangemon with ease, forcing itself into his armored body. TK's eyes were on the verge of tears when he ran, from his spot near the bushes, to his fallen partner Digimon.
Magnaangemon, let me- TK had stopped in his place, words no longer coming out. Dedramon's triple spiked arm had been shot forward into TK's stomach. His mouth opened to scream, but only blood came out. Dedramon's arms were now crossed over each other because of the attack. It threw one arm over the other, with whoever was attached to the arm. Magnaangemon soared through the air over TK, landing a few feet from him. It had become too much for the angel, so he was reduced to the Rookie level. TK's blood was covering the ground, red was now the predominant color of the area. Kari slowly came to realization of what had happened, and was in utter shock.
General Mazzola laughed at this sight. This is too good! The Forces of Darkness beaten the Angels! This must be hell for you, Kari. It certainly fells like heaven to me, he started to laugh once more. The general looked at the small computer screen on his wrist, it was emitting a strange black light that seemed out of place, even for this world.
Dedramon digivolve to... each particle of mist Dedramon's body glowed its own independently colored light. The arms were deleted and reconfigured into silver gauntlets. Most of the particles from around the eyes came together to form a black executioner's mask with blood red eyes. Lower particles came together as a black robe, similar to Angemon's. Within its left hand formed a huge spear with fire surrounding the spear point. In the other hand was a black shield, roughly its height. But there was something missing, there was no body, no arms under the gauntlets, no legs to be covered by the robe, and no head to hold up the mask, let alone have glowing red eyes. It was basically a ghost in a very fancy costume. By the time the digivolving process was coming to an end, it was almost thirty feet high. ... Scutidramon.
The Digimon was more powerful, but it no longer had a hold on TK's and Patamon's lives. After whipping away the tears, Kari ran to TK. No! How could he! All right, TK, listen up. I'm bringing you back to base to get help, she turned her gaze back to the general. Fear the day I kill you!
I'm really scared! I don't give a damn. But if you wait any longer, lover boy there is gonna die. Then you'll be too busy with his funeral!
Kari's eyes teared up once more, Fear that day...! She was now surrounded by a light blue light. TK, Kari, and the partner Digimon were broken down into data, they were gone. The barren environment no longer boasted any form of life, beyond dirt. General Mazzola turned away from the target base and started to walk into the sunset with his Omega-level Digimon.
I'll be waiting....
*************************************************
The room was a cold gray, much like any room in the Digital Aftermath. Davis sat near the front of a table, he looked very confused. Tai and Matt talked to each other in one corner. Joe was at one of the scientific tables altering Davis's D-3 to better suit the Aftermath and the future needs of NDD. Other generals filled the room to see what was going to happen, but didn't have an idea what was going to happen. A glowing box was wheeled into the room by one of the underlings. Something alive was inside the box, yet few knew what it was. Tai walked over to Davis, Are you ready for your Digimon?
Davis smiled when he finally found out why he was there. I've always been ready! Tai led Davis to the glowing box, Joe walked over as well, still holding Davis's D-3. The box was opened slowly, a golden light permeated the room. A blue dragon, about half of Davis's height, walked out and jumped into his arms.
Hello, Davis, I've been waiting six years to meet you! I'm Veemon, but you can call me Veemon. That's right, and I'm your partner Digimon. Together we'll make project NDD work! Veemon jumped around Davis. He didn't know what to do, so he looked up to Tai. Tai then looked over to Joe, who nodded immediately, then put out his hand with the D-3. Davis took a deep breath before taking the D-3, Veemon stopped in his place, his eyes completely black. The D-3 started to glow as this phase of NDD was coming to a close.
Veemon digivolve to... the little blue dragon glowed an eerie black light. The body grew to a size of about nine feet, while claws grew from the hands, feet, and head. A huge mouth was lined with razor sharp teeth that could cut almost anything. A blue v' appeared on the white chest as the digivolving process was coming to an end. Finally, a long blue tail sprang out. ... Veedramon.
Tai bent over to Matt's ear to speak, The alternate genetic codes worked perfectly! Matt nodded in response.
Veedramon digivolve to... the giant blue and white dragon was once again surrounded by an eerie light. Claws grew longer and sharper, while most of the body became more rugged looking. Huge unevenly-edged, red wings grew from the back. The v' on the chest became larger and a darker blue, now taking up most of the chest. The horns above the eyes became black and shimmered in the light. The dragon was now about twenty feet high. ... Aeroveedramon.
Tai looked at the huge Digimon, then faced every. Congratulations, we did it! Another chapter of NDD has been closed! He was going to see more, but he noticed Matt walking over to the door. Tai moved to see who it was, it was General Mazzola. The general said something to Matt, which resulted in Matt all most exploding.
What do you mean you all most killed TK, but will die soon anyways! I wanted to kill TK, he's my brother! If he dies, your head is going to be on a silver platter! General Mazzola nodded in response, then walked out. The other generals were confused for one moment, but just shook it off. Tai smiled for one moment, then turned around and faced his shadow. His eyes flooded with black, his pupils no longer seen.
Mortem Sibi Conscisco, go to Noctem and tell him the project is going along swimmingly. Go, now! The shadow moved away from Tai, leaving him with no shadow, and traveled across the wall to a nearby computer. It accessed a dark port and disappeared into the Dark Ocean. Good, very good...
****************************************************
Kari, TK, and the partner Digimon materialized in the Main Hall. People saw the blood and the medics rushed over as fast as they could. They patched him up here and there to slow the bleeding that would kill him if they couldn't help him. A stretcher was carried over for TK, his blood started to cover everything in sight. Kari backed up away from the emergency and was almost crying, but didn't, she left the scene with a few soldiers and headed towards the briefing room. TK was lifted onto the stretcher and started the trek to the medical bay. The patterns of light and darkness danced across TK's body as they moved down the hallway, strips of lights every meter or so. He was held down as the pain got worse for TK. The doors flew open when they approached the medical bay. Izzy was at one of the computer consoles working on calculations for new vaccines, when blood flew over his shoulder and hit the computer screen. He turned around to see TK flailing around on one of the examination tables, his wound appeared to have a mysterious haze coming off of it. Izzy ran over, his red hair swaying back and forth, to the chief medical officer. Where's Kari? Izzy ran to another officer. Where is she!
The officer briefly turned away from TK, blood on his face. She left to go to the briefing room. But I have work to do! The officer spun back around to help TK. Izzy didn't know what to do-- go to Kari or stay with TK. He held his head, putting his hands through his rusty red hair. Izzy finally threw his hands down and ran out of the medical bay as fast as could, pushing guards and scientists over, his navy blue shirt and green pants tore as he hit one of the stands in the hallway.
TK's hand were clenched onto the examination table. One of the doctors held his arm in place as he injected a clear liquid into TK. He stopped flailing around like a fish out of water, his arms fell limp to the sides of the table. One of the other doctors slipped a clear, plastic mask onto TK's face. The gas should keep him asleep for awhile. A cart of sharp metal implements were wheeled over to the side of one of the doctors. We have to make this work!
************************************************
Kari was in the briefing room, talking to three soldiers. She was giving them orders, Remember, get his mom here. That's top priority! They nodded in agreement, then were sucked into the Real World when Kari put here D-3 to the computer. Izzy ran in just in time to see the screen flash and the three soldiers disappearing. The door made a clanging sound when swung close, which made Sora turn around from her seat in the corner. Kari faced Izzy, tears streaming down her face, Oh, Izzy, I forgot all about you! She ran over to him and pulled Izzy into a near-crushing hug. I'm so sorry I forgot! Izzy didn't know what to do, so he just patted her on the back. I don't understand how someone can be so evil! And do such things! She continued to cry into his shoulder.
It's all right, Kari. I think they've bought him to surgery, Kari didn't seem to listen, but cheered up slightly, wiping the tears away.
I sent three soldiers to the Real World to get TK's mom, maybe she can help. We don't have too many options here, and if we wait, we'll lose him! Kari tried her best to shut away the emotions as best she could, but some tears still came out.
Izzy mournfully looked down at his D-3 for the time, then he remembered something. Kari, maybe we should see what those things, that appear to be digieggs, can do. We might find help there! Kari lifted her head level to Izzy's.
Might as well...
Another chapter done! It took me a while to write due to the lack of free time, something that is very valuable to me! Anyways, TK has been injured, will he survive? Davis has a Digimon that digivolves into forms that make more sense! And Kari has digieggs!' The fun continues...
On another note, I'm glade to see all those authors out there that are still writing Digimon series with our favorite characters from season two, and aren't giving up on it to write for the not-so-to-soon-to-premier season three or just stop writing altogether! *Claps Hands* In one of the reviews (you know who you are) asked where is Ken. Don't worry, he'll be in the story, I want to work him into it with some plot twists! And a reminder to all those people out there that fell in love with season two and miss them so much, they have possibly worked out a season four already! In one of the last lines, TK said, The darkness has not been conquered yet.' The fact that everyone has kids, and those kids have Digimon, it could be safe to say that season four could involve them! That means we could see Tai, Matt, Sora, Kari, ect, ect once more! But that's only speculation. Mortem Sibi Conscisco means I put an end to my life.'
Here's the preview...
The people screamed in terror as Dedramon killed dozens with ease. Bodies flew everywhere as the spiked arms flew around, impaling the unlucky bags of flesh. Kari gasped as a lone arm nearly hit in the head.
Now a poem from an author I cannot find the name of:
When the storm rises up,
When the shadows descend.
Every beat of my heart,
Everyday without end.
I will still stand like a rock,
I will bend till I break
Till there's no more to give,
If that's what it takes.
I will risk everything,
I will fight,
I will bleed,
I will lay down my life,
If that's what you need.
And finally, a poem' I wrote about the end of season two:
The season is over.
The dream is dead.
Not to worry,
It will start over again.
Have a nice day...
