Digital Rebellion Chapter 21
The Shadow of Dieconesmon

The digidestened were in Talcato Village the home of the humon. They had managed to get all the people into the forest and out of the village because there were Darkmon already in the city. Too many for them to do battle so their digimon had true digivolved for the second time and Tai ordered Sora, Catherine and their digimon to go out into the forest and protect the humon there, after they left. The other digidestened had found out that Piedmon wasn't the only one of their old enemies to returned. It turned out that their theory about some of their enemies being back was true. Myotismon, Archnemon, Etemon and Puppetmon had also returned and that they were all relayed so how. Then a few minutes after that the digidestened had finally came face to face with their true enemy, Dieconesmon or did they...
***********************************************************
"So your Dieconesmon, huh?" asked Tai coldly, "You don't look so tough to me,"
"What!" yelled all the digidestened except Davis?
"If you're so strong why didn't you just come out and fight us your self instead of sending Brian and Justin to do your dirty work?" asked Davis.
"Those boys have a lot of sprite," said Etemon standing on a roof along his brothers and sister.
"And a lot of mouth as well," said Archnemon.
"Come now Tai, Davis," yelled Piedmon, "You don't really think you can beat Dieconesmon the lord and master of darkness,"
"Maybe we can..." replied Davis coldly with a cold look his eye.
"And Maybe we can't, but he's gotta pay for all the things he's done," said Tai.
"You boys are very amusing you always have been ever since you returned from your training in Hywall Valley, but I must admit your fighting skills are high and seem to get batter with every battle you fight. I can see now why those insects behind you are so loyal to you Tai and why none of them ever complain about your discussions. You're just a perfect leader aren't you? You never seem to make a mistake," said Dieconesmon, "But this time your mistake was coming back to Wiscalla to try and save the humon and destroy me in the process. Tell me Tai, Kamiya, Davis Motomiya, what makes you so sure that you can defeat me when I was the one who created all of your enemies. I was the one who changed the ageing rate of humans and I was the one who made the time flow of the digital world equal to that of the world," explained Dieconesmon in dark voice.
Tai and Davis stared at Dieconesmon angrily with cold eyes. Their eyes were locked on to the monster who had killed so many of their people and had changed their once beautiful home into a complete waste land. Their friends stared at them confusingly wondering what they were going to say...
"Is that all?" asked Tai and Davis coldly.
"Huh!" said all of the digidestened.
"Is it just me or did anyone else hear them is that" asked Jason shocking
"That what they said all right," said Kaglaroomon.
"Being so powerful I thought you'd be able to do a lot then just all that you mentioned," said Davis.
"If your so powerful why don't prove it and we'll see just how powerful you really are," said Tai.
Tai and Davis's friends stared at them shockingly...
"Hey Tai have you and Davis gone nuts are something?" asked Matt.
"No Matt they haven't," replied Rexmon. He flew up next to Tai, "Infect you can fight me as well. Like Tai and Davis I'm curious too know why someone so powerful as your self would let us rescue the humans with barely any trouble at all,"
Then Magnoramon flew up next to Davis...
"Count me into," said Magnoramon, "I want to see just how powerful you really are,"
"Is it just me are have those guys gone nuts?" asked Eric, "They've heard what Dieconesmon can do and has already done and their still not afraid of him,"
"Tai and Davis know something we don't," said Catalessmon.
"Huh?" replied everyone.
Dieconesmon was silent as he stared at Tai and Davis hovering in the air on their Jet Boards. He looked at them and noticed how they stood completely still not making one move, but if he were to try and attack it seemed as if they know when and how he was going too. He felt as if they were reading his mind. He then looked into their eyes and saw a glow an orange light in them return to normal. He was still as if he were afraid of something inside of them...
'So after all these years this is where you've been hiding your power, Tairow. For years I wondered if they were the ones you had chosen and for a long time I wonder why you chose them. I had watched them as they grew and saw that they were nothing like you. Their hearts were warm and full of the things that I hate the most the things that light gathers its strength from. They were not like you at all. The look in their eyes was nothing like the look in your eyes. Their eyes were plain and normal they were nothing, but the eyes of mortal beings. Now I see they've been holding your power even before Tai first saw a digimon. You were always with weren't you and I know you're with them even now. I know that if I were to fight them I would lose, but hear this Tairow. I will never die!' thought Dieconesmon, "Storms of Darkness!"
"Everyone get out of here he's about to attack!" warned Tai, "Davis, Raxmon, Magnoramon you two are with me let's take this so call lord of darkness down. The rest of you make sure the humon get to Kaloga safely,'
Tai, Raxmon, Davis and Magnoramon then flew at Dieconesmon then suddenly black clouds began to appear over the village and bolts of black lighting began striking each making the sound of thunder as they flashed in the sky.
"Hey guys I think we'd better follow orders and get out of here," suggested Victor.
"I agree, let's go," said Yolei.
They all turned around and began head towards the forest, but then were blocked of by an army of Darkmon.
"I'm sorry, but you're not going anywhere!" yelled Piedmon flying over them and then leading in front of the Darkmon. Then Myotismon leaded next to him...
"I'm afraid we can't let you leave until the big show is over," laughed Myotismon.
"Get out of are way clown boy are all I'll cut the mask of yours right off your face,' treated Matt.
"Oh no he's going cut of mask oh what will I do," laughed Piedmon, "Like I'm really afraid of a human being,"
"I'm not going to tell you again get out of our way," repeated Matt angrily.
"I'm sorry, but your request can be fulfilled," said Archnemon from on top of a near by building.
"Then will just have to make you let us through," yelled Foxwolfmon jumping on top of the building that Archnemon was on.
"I've defeated your clone now Etemon..." said Zodramon, "Now I will destroy the real thing,"
"Do really think you can defeat ninja boy. Alright then I'll take you on," replied Etemon.
"Foxwolfmon do you really think you can defeat me?" asked Archnemon
"Why don't we find out," said Foxwolfmon.
"You fools really think you can defeat us in a battle you're just as crazy as your friends Tai and Davis," laughed Piedmon.
"I've had just about enough of you, Piedmon," yelled Gabumon, "Blizzard Strike,"
Suddenly needles of Ice began to shout out from Gabumon's fur hitting Piedmon. Piedmon blocked the attack then jumped into the air...
"Dark Sword," yelled Piedmon throwing a black sword at Gabumon. Gabumon jumped into the air and onto a building.
"Blizzard Strike," yelled Gabumon attacking again.
"Gardanramon we need to get rid of those Darkmon if we're going to fight these guys, try that new attack of yours Nature's Light," said Patamon.
"I'm on it," replied Gardanramon beginning to fly into the air.
"Sorry fairy girl you're not going anywhere," yelled Puppetmon, "Dark Knives," Puppetmon aim his hummer and at Gardanramon and fired knives of dark energy. The Knives hit Gardanramon and she fell towards the ground badly hurt Then Myotismon jumped into the aim, grabbed both ends of his cape...
"Nightmare Claw," yelled Myotismon. A claw made of dark energy began fall towards the badly wreaked Gardanramon.
"Gardanramon No!" yelled Mimi.
"Thunder Cut," yelled Praymon cutting off the attack, "There is no honor in attacking your enemy when they are already badly hurt, Myotismon,"
"Like care about honor, Crimson Lighting," replied Myotismon. He fired a Spire of red light at Praymon. Praymon knocked it away then stared at Myotismon.
"I care about honor Myotismon and those who fight and attack helpless victims are nothing, but weak warriors. Because of your crime you must be punished," explained Praymon. Then suddenly two swords appeared in his hands. He crossed themthen placed them front of his face then aimed the swords towards the ground, "Thundering Earth!" Then the ground began to shack followed by rays of green light coming up from the ground...
"Hey what's with the light show and earthquake?" asked Etemon!
"It's the third attack of nature!" yelled Archnemon, "Just don't stand there you mindless Darkmon attack them before your all destroy!"
The darkmon rushed at the digidestened. The digidestened stood their ground and got ready to fight when the rays of light flashed. When the light cleared there were no darkmon to be seen only the digidestened, their digimon, Piedmon and his brothers and sister. What just happened where'd all of our Darkmon go?" asked Puppetmon shockingly.
"They were destroy you by Praymon's attack, but how'd he get that attack it's impossible," yelled Piedmon.
Then suddenly black lighting bolts began to strike the ground furiously...
"I say forget about this battle and get out of this village and into the forest!" suggested Jason dodging a light bolt.
"That won't work,"
Then suddenly Sora and Catherine came flying up on their Jet Boards...
"What do you mean Catherine?" asked Yolei.
"We already sent the humon to Kaloga, but going into the forest to get away from the lighting won't work...uh...the lighting's...uh...everywhere including the forest," explained Catherine dodging black lighting bolts.
"Then are only chance...uh...of surviving is...to hide inside one of those buildings," suggested Izzy.
"But what if...uh...the lighting destroys the building or it...caves in on us?" asked Skycallamon dodging a light bolt.
"It's better then...uh...staying out here," replied Truedigmon.
"I'm with him...uh...him we'd have a better chance for...uh...survival if we were in a building, but to do that we'd need to dedigivolve," agreed Trueshuriemon.
"Fine by me," yelled Dragonmon dedigivolveing back into Komodomon. The rest of the digimon did the same. Then they ran inside the nearest building...
"Those kids have a...ah...good idea. Cause it looks like father isn't worrying about our survival at all," said Archnemon dodging the lighting.
"Then let's get in...uh...to one of these building before were killed by are own power," yelled Puppetmon. Then he and the other evil digimon ran into a building. The digidestened were in a building across from Piedmon and the others.
Meanwhile the battle between Dieconesmon and Tai, Davis, and their digimon had gotten more intense. Dieconesmon had caused the dark clouds above them to have black lighting blots to strike the ground hoping to hurt Tai and Davis. He fired black balls of energy at them and the two boys dodged them trying their best not to get hit and dodge the light at the same time.
"Repent your sins through death...Rain of the dead!" yelled Dieconesmon. Then suddenly blood began to fall from the sky, "You will die in a in this storm a dark light and bloody rain,"
"Sorry to disappoint you, but we plan on leaving here after destroying you," replied Raxmon, "Volcanic Blast,"
"Magma Cannon," yelled Magnoramon.
Two firry beams of light flew towards Dieconesmon hitting his body and causing a large piece of it to fall off it to fall off.
"Hey Davis did you see that?" asked Tai.
"Yeah," replied Davis.
"So what do you say we cut off a bit more?" asked Tai with a cruel smile.
"Fine with me," agreed Davis.
The two of them flew towards the lower part of Dieconesmon's shadowy body, but Dieconesmon was not about to let them get any closer then they already were...
"Spite wave!" yelled Dieconesmon. He fire dark waves of energy at the two boys. Tai and Davis placed their swords in front of them salves and blacked his assault, but were pushed back by each a wave that hit their swords. When the waves stopped they tried again, but Dieconesmon used his attack again to keeping them away. Meanwhile the other digidestened were watching the battle from the building they were in. The building had a second floor with a window they could look out of...
"Man that battle's getting more intense by the second. First Raxmon and Magnoramon cut piece of Dieconesmon off and Tai and Davis keep trying to attack him, but Dieconesmon not letting them get close enough," said Wallace.
"Why does he keep doing that?" asked Terriermon.
"Dieconesmon is afraid," said Tentomon who was sitting in the back of the room.
Everyone looked back at him confusingly...
"What do you mean Tentomon?" asked Kuala hanging on Eric's shoulder.
"Dieconesmon is afraid of Tai and Davis as if he knew something about them that we didn't," explained Tentomon, "Because of this fear he has decided that if he will die then he will take Tai and Davis with him,"
"I hate interrupt you Tentomon, but does anyone else noticed that the roof is beginning to dissolve!" panicked Mimi.
They all looked up and saw the roof slowly melting away...
"That rain isn't just it's just blood it's acid too oh man this is bad and there's no where can run. We can't even use a portal because there's something blocking the signal," said Ken frighteningly.
Then suddenly the hole in the roof became big enough that the black lighting began to strike in side of the room!
"This isn't looking to good guys," panicked Joe, "If that roof melts all the way were toast,"
"Our uniforms will protect us, but there's only so much damage we they can take," said Izzy.
"I'll stop it,' said Palmon who was lying on the floor in a weak voice.
"Palmon what are you going to do?" asked Patamon, "You can't use yoru attack you too hurt,"
"Trees around the village...please listen to plea," said Palmon, "Natures Light," Then suddenly the digidestened found them salves surround by a cube of a yellow light," this shield will protect us, but I don't know how long it will hold out,"
"What do we do when it gives way mate?" asked Jason.
"What else we wait and die cause there's nowhere to run and we can't use the portal," said Gomamon.
"I hope Tai's ok out there," said Sora sadly. Everyone looked at Sora's sad face sadly, 'Please stay alive Tai, I Don't want to die. I need you the people need you,'
Meanwhile back with the battle. As acid continued to fall Tai and Davis continued to try and attack Dieconesmon...
"You fools I know your uniforms will began to melt like everything else in this village if you continue to fight me like this," yelled Dieconesmon.
"Like we care!" replied Davis coldly.
"As long as we take you down with us we don't care if we die are not," said Tai.
They continued to fight Dieconesmon, but Dieconesmon would not allow them to get any closer then they already were...
"Tai attack when Magnoramon and I do," commanded Raxmon.
"Got yah," replied Tai.
"Volcanic Blast," yelled Raxmon.
"Magma Cannon," yelled Magnoramon.
Two firry beams of light flew towards Dieconesmon and as they did Tai and Davis flew along side of them until they were so close to Dieconesmon's body that they could touch it. The two beams of red light cut off another piece of Dieconesmon's shadow body and then Tai and Davis took their swords stab the dark load's body. Then flew upward towards the head of the monster...
"WAVES OF DEATH!" yelled Dieconesmon. Dark waves energy began to fly out of Dieconesmon's skin hitting the two boys as they flew upward with their swords still stabbed inside of Dieconesmon's body.
They continued to fly upward, but as they did their uniforms slowly began to melt away, then when they finally reach his head...
"NOW DAVIS!" yelled Tai.
They pulled their swords out of his skin and then raised them into the air over the head of the Dieconesmon. Then they brought them down and began to fall quickly towards the ground with their swords going down with them imprinting a large cut in Dieconesmon's body. They fell faster and faster until. Finally they hit ground hard each landing on a knee and their swords still in side of the monsters shadow body.
Then suddenly the bloody rain stopped falling and the lighting stop striking. The digidestened had closed their eyes the moment their friends had started falling. When they opened them they saw that Piedmon and the others had also created a shield to protect them salves from the black lighting and bloody rain. They looked around and saw that everything was destroy except for figures on their knees and breathing deeply and two of them bleeding on the face, and arm. Sitting in front of pile of shadows slowly dissolving away...
"What happened to the rain and lighting?" asked Voxmon confusingly.
"It is over the battle is over and we have won," said Tentomon.
"No!" yelled Archnemon looking the at four figures, "That's impossible. How could they have killed our father and still be living,"
"This is some bad dream are something," yelled Puppetmon.
"I'm afraid not puppet boy. That's your dad lying right there on that ground stone cold dead," laughed Dingomon
"They didn't they actually didn't they killed Dieconesmon," laughed Eric.
"The war is over we win," yelled Wormmon.
The digidestened all cheered and laughed as they stared at the dark pile. They then all ran over to the four figures in front of the pile.
"Alright you guys you didn't," yelled Gabumon.
"Way to go," said Komodomon.
"Are you ok Tai?" asked Sora worryingly. Helping Tai up...
"Don't worry Sora I'll be fine after a days rest," replied Tai bleeding on the arm.
"You ok Davis?" asked T.K help him up.
"I'll be fine," replied Davis coldly bleeding a little on the face and bit on the arm.
"But you bleeding," said Kari worryingly.
"I'll be fine," replied Davis.
"Man is that pile dark energy Dieconesmon?" asked Gomamon.
"It was Dieconesmon," replied Veemon.
"So this war's over finally and we have a chance for peace," said Hawkmon.
"I'll say," agreed Armadillomon.
"I still can't believe Dieconesmon is gone," said Cody.
"Believe it Cody believe it," replied Agumon still on the ground badly injured.
"Agumon your hurt," said Palmon.
"But so are you," replied Agumon.
"Compared to your wounds mine are just scratches," said Palmon smiling helping him up.
They all helped their friends up off the ground and then stared at what used to be their biggest enemy ever with smiles as it continued to dissolve. Then suddenly they heard an evil laugh from behind them. They looked back and saw Piedmon laughing...
"Hey clown face what's so funny?" asked Betamon.
"You fools you should no better by now that the war is never over," laughed Piedmon.
"What do you mean, brother?" asked Etemon.
"Just look up and you'll see what I mean," replied Piedmon.
They all looked and saw dark hole open up above them...
"What's going on?" asked Patamon.
"You foolish digidestened,"
"Did you guys hear that?" asked Izzy in a frightened way.
"Yeah I did," replied Matt.
"Same here," said Mimi.
The smile on everyone's faces went away...
"But how he's suppose to be dead right now," said Hersheya.
Then suddenly a figure with red eyes, white hair, a gold helm, and horns appeared in the dark hole...
"Tai Kamiya, Davis Motomiya. I must admit you both are strong warriors with great skill, but I am afraid that the battle you have won changes nothing. The only thing you have defeated is my shadow and nothing more. I am as powerful as I am said to be. The reason I let you get away with your people is because I do not need them anymore and it is a waste of time and energy killing of off one by one. I am afraid that your war is not over yet, but you have not to worry about it. For this war is no longer any of your concern. All you are doing is getting into the middle of it. Because I have to intention of fighting you at all I give you two choices you can fight by may side in the up coming war or you can stay in your village and live you lives out in peace. I do not wish to fight with you, but if it ever comes to me doing that then I will destroy you and be aware of this digidestened I am the real Dieconesmon and I will never die!"
Then his face was gone from the black hole...
"Farwell Digidestened until next time. If there is a next time," laughed Piedmon. Then he and his dark family were gone as while. The digidestened stood where they were frighteningly...
"I can't believe it he's still alive," said Ken.
"And no doubt he's stronger then that shadow of his," said Victor.
"Now what do we do?" asked Catherine.
"We go back to base and rest up then decide from there," ordered Tai.
They all agreed, opened portal and went through, but did not notice the large orange ball of light appearing in front of the pile of shadows after they left...
"Dieconesmon from what the emerald of courage tells me darkness has no future is the dark ocean telling you differently? Perhaps now is the time for me have Natle tell my story,"
