Myotismon's End Game
This is a BIG one. Nearly entirely a battle, so enjoy!
Scene: Inside the gray halls of the television tower where Myotismon is holding Gatomon. Bakemon patrol the floors.
Benjamon slipped in after Demidevimon and Kari, getting through the doors just before they closed. Moving silently through the dimly lit green halls, Benjamon followed the batwinged bootlicker Digimon that kept repeating and embellishing a story that would make him look the best. "Okay... So I found you hiding, No! You were right in the middle of all the Digi-Destined, and I lured them away, putting myself at great risk before I came back to capture you!" Demidevimon cackled, his twisted mind whirling. "I can't say I fought the Digi-Destined, Lord Myotismon would never believe that."
Shaking his head at the opportunistic blue/black Digimon, Benjamon crept along behind, tucking into small alcoves, hiding around corners... He slowly looked around the edge of the wall, and saw...
Demidevimon pushing Kari into an elevator.
Benjamin swore under his breath, and looked about for the stairs. There would be no way for him to get onto another elevator without being obvious, and...
Something touched his shoulder. "Who are you?" it said, voice hollow, lacking substance.
"What?" Benjamon yelped, jumping about three feet into the air and spinning. In front of him was a bedsheet with eyes and teeth... A ghost Digimon, Bakemon. Benjamon swore again. "Umm... I'm delivering a pizza. Did someone order a large pepperoni?"
At the mention of food, the Bakemon's eyes went wide. "Hey, everyone!" it called, "There's a Pizza guy with a large pepperoni!"
The floor, ceiling, and walls wavered as Bakemon slipped through at the promise of pizza. Benjamon mentally kicked himself several times as at least 20 more Bakemon appeared.
"Where's the pizza?" the first ghost Digimon asked, shouts of agreement emerging from the rest of the crowd.
Benjamon ran through his options.
1. Play the role of a pizza delivery guy. Would take too long. If Kari died, then the world would be plunged into darkness.
2. Run away, and find another way up. No idea where to run to, and again, might take too long.
3. Fight. Benjamon HAD defeated Phantomon. Bakemon shouldn't be too hard, and would ensure no further interference once defeated.
Benjamon took number three, golden eyes glittering dangerously in the dim light as he grabbed a Bakemon by the hem and ripped upward, damaging the ghost program so badly it disintegrated. Hand guards shining with an inner light burned away the subroutines of the next ghost as Benjamon speared his left hand into its eyes. Three more Bakemon fell before their peers could react, and converged on the lone rookie Digimon.
"You're no pizza guy!" One shouted.
"What are you doing?!" yelled another as they spiraled round and round.
Across the hallway, a door cracked open as Izzy, Tentomon, and Matt's father peered out. "What are those ghosts doing?" the adult whispered.
"I'm not sure, but they sure are excited!" Tentomon replied quietly.
From within the whirling mass of Bakemon, a white figure flew out as a sneaker crashed into its face and sent the Bakemon spinning into the wall, where it slid down to the floor with a humorous squeak before disassociating into its component data.
"I'd say they are not having a good day..." Izzy murmured as a fist wrapped in unearthly light tore through another hapless Digimon.
"Who wants to be next?!" Benjamon yelled. "I'll be all too glad to send you back home in as many pieces as possible!" He grabbed another Bakemon from the dwindling mass by its sleeves and ripped it asunder through sheer force.
"He's not very good at battle cries," Tentomon noted, still watching the fight.
"Does he really need to be?" Matt's father asked.
"Well, not really..." the red beetle replied... "And what was that about a pizza?"
"RAAH!" Benjamon shouted, slamming his glowing fists into a Bakemon and leaping through the hole. He dashed off down the hallway, moving fast.
"After him!" one of the remaining ghosts shouted, giving chase for several yards before realizing he was alone. "What are you waiting for?"
One of the smarter spooks spoke up... "You saw what he did!"
One of the dumber spooks added, "Maybe he went to get the pizza."
"Would you rather face Myotismon if he finds out we haven't been doing our jobs?" the first Bakemon demanded.
As one, the Bakemon flew after the retreating Benjamon.
Running down the green hallway, Benjamon swerved to the left side of the hall and jumped, hitting the corner at an angle, and ran in a curve along the vertical wall, turning his momentum and body around to run straight back at the line of Bakemon.
Startled by the charge, the white ghost Digimon became even paler as they scrambled to get out of the way.
Bakemon, however, are not known for being incredibly quick and agile.
The white sheets, holed and torn, careened into the sides of the hall, one flying out through the plate glass at the far end before deleting.
Izzy looked through the window... "Hey, Tentomon! The others are here!"
"Let's go out and greet them, then!" Tentomon said, heading for the elevator.
Outside, the Digi-Destined had gathered: Matt and Garurumon, Sora and Lilymon flew in on Garudamon. Joe, TK, and Wizardmon showed up soon after on the newly Digivolved Zudomon.
"What was that?" TK asked, pointing to the sky-blackening bits of data that had so recently been Bakemon.
"Some guy came along and just started hurling Bakemon left and right!" Izzy exclaimed. "That's all that's left."
Matt and Sora looked at each other. "Looks like that Benjamon passed through." Sora said, watching the last of the solid black data cloud disappear.
"And went berserk." Matt added.
"Anyway, the tower's clear of Bakemon, so we should go and find the fog generator." Izzy explained after Wizardmon had restored Lilymon.
Demidevimon had left to inform Myotismon of his 'Successful capture of the Eighth child' and left Kari guarded by a pair of Bakemon. Both guards were bored, and quickly fell asleep. They didn't even notice when Benjamon ground them to bits and bytes.
"Kari!" Benjamon said with relief. "I'm sorry, I was delayed. Are you all right?" he asked.
"I'm fine. Demidevimon left..." Kari answered.
"I see... Let me find someplace to hide... Maybe up in the rafters..." he said, looking up at the high roof of the sphere, crossed with girders.
"What?" Kari said, confused.
"I don't want to be seen before I know what I am up against. I can only stop Myotismon if I can catch him by surprise..." Benjamin explained, jumping onto a cabinet and climbing up to the top. A quick leap, and he disappears into the shadows of the ceiling.
Moments later, a cloud of bats formed on the ceiling, a seething mass of flapping black wings. Inside the cloud, a figure drifted down... Black boots, blue trousers and doublet, black and red cape, high collar, and a purple batwinged mask. "Nice fashion sense... for the 1300's." Benjamon thought to himself. Myotismon held Gatomon by the scruff of her neck, and the cat's large blue oval eyes were filled with such sadness and despair... Stifling a sniffle of sympathy, Benjamon quickly shifted around among the support beams to move behind Myotismon and await a chance to strike. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Digi-Destined enter the building.
Below, Myotismon interrogated Kari and Gatomon.
"Why did you come, little girl?" the vampire asked, looking down at the eighth child.
"You were hurting people, and I couldn't allow that." Kari answered firmly, looking Myotismon straight in the eye.
"What?" Myotismon seemed momentarily stunned at the girl's assertiveness in his presence. Didn't she KNOW she was going to die?
"You were hurting people to find me, so I came here so you wouldn't hurt anyone else!" Kari retorted vehemently.
The Digital Lord of the Undead blinked, then chortled. "What a responsible child!" he exclaimed, then held Gatomon up and asked, "Why don't you look at the eighth Digi-destined, Gatomon?"
"Because she's not the eight child," Gatomon lied quickly, her voice not even quavering as she refused to look at Kari, "I don't know who she is."
"Lot of spunk for such a small Digimon," Benjamin thought admiringly, "Just like Kari, but I guess that's to be expected..."
Myotismon sneered. "Oh, really?" he asked, snapping his fingers.
Demidevimon cackled as he swept down on Kari, yanking and clawing at her brown hair with stumpy, evil talons as Myotismon looked on. Kari screamed shrilly, trying to bat Demidevimon away.
"KARI!" Gatomon yelled, blowing her story as her instinctive protectiveness kicked in. Benjamon punched an unoffending girder in frustration.
"Odd that you should know her name, Gatomon, if you don't know who she is." Myotismon smiled, revealing more fang than normal.
Gatomon wrenched herself free of Myotismon's grip, and threw herself in front of Kari. The large, piercing blue eyes of the cat Digimon saw Benjamon getting ready to jump on Myotismon, and widened.
Myotismon laughed again. "Now that you're both here, I can destroy you easily."
Benjamon waved his hands and mouthed "No!" to Gatomon, who was still watching him, her mouth slightly agape as she tried to focus on both Digimon at once.
"Eh?" Myotismon snarled, spinning around to follow Gatomon's gaze. "A spy? An assassin?"
Benjamon had moved further back as his cover was blown by the piercing indigo eyes of the white cat. Crouching on a girder directly above the vampire, he hoped that he hadn't been seen...
"Or a diversion?" Myotismon finished, scanning the roof supports.
"Once the other Digi-Destined get here, you won't stand a chance, Myotismon!" Kari asserted.
"Hmmm... Then I'll just finish you now, little girl! GRISTLY WING!"
Before Myotismon had drawn back his cloak to unleash his bats, a tinny voice shouted:
"Tentomon Digivolve to... KABUTERIMON!"
A giant, evil looking roach appeared underneath the girder grid, startling Benjamon so greatly that he fell off his perch and held on to the beam with his fingertips.
"ELECTROSHOCKER!" Kabuterimon called, creating a ball of crackling blue and purple electricity that cut through the air en route to Myotismon.
"FLOWER...CANNON!" a feminine voice called, the speaker hidden from sight behind a steel I-beam. The luminous green light of the shell, however, was easy to see.
"Bah!" Myotismon snorted, blowing a puff of air at the incoming attacks.
Electricity and plant energy flew upwards, moved from their course by that single breath of the vampire lord.
"mother!" Benjamon whimpered, goldenrod eyes wide with terror as the green and blue raced towards the roof.
Buildings throughout the city shuddered as the attacks exploded violently against the roof of the spherical structure. The cataclysmic blast opened a gaping hole in the ceiling of the television station, and blew out all of the windows of the observation platform; debris evaporated or was scattered like straw in a tornado.
The Digi-Destined gasped as Myotismon telekinetically lifted Kari, Gatomon and himself out through the hole, Demidevimon flapping rapidly to catch up to his master.
"Weregarurumon! Go!" Matt shouted, and the werewolf jumped through one of the broken windows onto the platform where Myotismon landed.
Garudamon saw the cloaked vampire lord fly outwards, and picked up Zudomon by one of his shell spines, lifting him up to a nearby roof top. "We're here to destroy you, Myotismon!" she bellowed, flexing her arms menacingly while Zudomon slapped his hammerhead into his open fist.
"How nice!" Myotismon sneered, flaring his cloak about him dramatically with an evil laugh. "I don't feel threatened by a bird and turtle-dog. Go home, and I'll destroy you later!"
"Kabuterimon Digivolve to... MEGAKABUTERIMON!"
From the observation platform, Izzy shouted "Get Kari, Megakabuterimon!"
"HORN BUSTER!" the gigantic atlas beetle roared, flying toward Myotismon.
From the fog, Benjamin watched as Myotismon casually redirected the awesome mass of Megakabuterimon's charge at Weregarurumon, the vampire laughing as the wolf fell over the side, clinging to the edge of the platform. A flash of red light knocked the werewolf from his precarious clawhold, and the warrior fell to the ground with a crash.
As an observer, Benjamon was currently terrible. The explosion had been survivable by using the steel beams as a shield, but his hearing and nerves were shot to Hades. Looking on and trembling, he watched Wizardmon blast Myotismon from behind... throw something small and shiny to Kari... "Got to pull together..." he groaned above the ringing in his head. "Om mani padme h'um... Om mani padme h'um..." he chanted quietly and slowly, repeating the Tibetan Buddhist chant to focus his mind.
Time seemed to slow for him as the chant became faster, and more agitated.
Slowly, Myotismon turned to Wizardmon...
"Om mani padme h'um... Om mani padme h'um!"
The ringing in his head faded as Myotismon retaliated with a ball of violent violet energy...
"OM MANI PADME H'UM! OM MANI PADME H'UM!"
More focus... more focus... the whiskers on Gatomon's face became clear, every detail of Wizardmon being hurled against the wall recorded by his eyes...
"OM MANI PADME H'UM! OM MANI PADME H'UM!"
Tai and Greymon appeared... Tai threw Kari's Digivice to her...So slow...Demidevimon's dive to take the Digivice away reduced to a relative inching.
"Greymon Digivolve to... METALGREYMON!" The roar broke up the chant, and Benjamon was on his feet, time flowing at the usual clip.
"GIGA BLASTER!" Metalgreymon bellowed, chest plate opening to launch the large, gunmetal gray missiles at the digital vampire.
Raising his palms, Myotismon simply dissolved the attack, breaking the explosives down to particles of black data.
"HORN BUSTER!" Megakabuterimon tried again, sending a jagged bolt of electricity at Myotismon.
"VULCAN'S HAMMER!" Zudomon smashed his large hammer against the platform and emitting an energy beam.
"WING BLADE!" Garudamon tensed her body, then unleashed a scintillating bird of fire that flew at the cloaked ultimate.
"FLOWER CANNON!" Lilymon cried, sending the glowing green shell at Myotismon.
Myotismon laughed and dispersed all the attacks simultaneously.
TK and Patamon looked at each other and nodded decisively.
"Patamon Digivolve to... ANGEMON!"
Myotismon winced back from the holy light of Angemon, and fell to his knees with the Hand of Fate Angemon leveled at him. Benjamon couldn't hear what was happening, and sneaked up as close as he dared.
"...about to ask you the same question! GRISTLY WING!" Myotismon attacked Kari and Gatomon again, intent on disrupting the prophecy that had lead the Digi-Destined into action.
Wizardmon jumped in front of the blast, sacrificing himself for Gatomon.
Watching the events from the shadows, Benjamon nodded to himself, crouched, then launched himself at the hazy cloak in the fog.
Even as Wizardmon spoke his final words to Gatomon, Myotismon fell to one knee, drawing the attention of some of the Digi-Destined and their Digimon.
"WHO DARES TO STRIKE ME?" Myotismon bellowed, spinning around, only to be met with a roundhouse kick to his face, and a fist driven into his stomach. Myotismon flinched, but only slightly. The evil virus Digimon looked down and smiled at Benjamon, who was still trying to hammer Myotismon into defeat. "Well done, human. You caught me by surprise. How unfortunate that your courage is no match for my power." Myotismon sneered, picking Benjamon up by the throat and hurling him through the plate glass of an office building across the street from the tower.
"We've got to help him!" cried Sora, looking at the shattered glass.
"Actually, I think this Benjamon character might just be buying the time we need to figure out how to defeat Myotismon. Observe!" Said Izzy, watching as the humanoid stood up, ran towards the shattered glass, and leapt the twenty-foot gap, landing in front of the undead lord of the Digiworld.
"Bravo... Should I applaud?" Myotismon said, dripping with sarcasm.
"If you like. But never call me 'human'... I am a Digimon." Benjamon replied, strangely calm.
"When I destroy you, I won't have to call you ANYTHING!" Myotismon shouted, "CRIMSON LIGHTNING!" Great whips of red light formed in Myotismon's hands, and slashed downwards towards the rookie Digimon, who was...
Ten feet out of Myotismon's attack range.
"Again, Well done." Myotismon said with a toothy smile, advancing, and snapping his whips at the cornered Benjamon. No matter how quickly he swung, he couldn't hit the annoyance that had kicked him in the back. When he slashed for the head, Benjamon ducked underneath the shimmering red cords. When he attacked the legs, Benjamon jumped over, pulling down one eyelid and giving the ol' Bronx cheer to Myotismon. Even when Myotismon tried sweeping his whips in parallel to remove his unlikely opponent's head and knees, Benjamon jumped and rolled directly between the Crimson Lightning attack. Attacking to the left and right met only air and concrete as Benjamon's figure blurred with the speed of his dodges.
"Look at him go!" shouted Joe. "See, not all guys with glasses are clumsy!" he blinked, a large sweat bead forming on the back of his head as he realized everyone was looking at him. "Well... I..."
"We never said you were clumsy, Joe." Mimi said, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"You are quick, fool. But no matter how fast you are, you can't dodge this!" Myotismon growled. "GRISTLY WING!" hundreds of jet-black bats flew out of his cloak, weaving about each other as they rushed towards Benjamon.
"I don't have to dodge." Benjamon responded, breathing heavily. "CHAAAAIN BLASTER!" Benjamon held his hands out in front of him, and baseball sized orbs of pure white light shot forth from each hand in rapid succession, like a machine gun firing stars. Each orb hit a bat and exploded silently, taking the bat with it. In a few moments, the entire swarm had been disintegrated.
"Did you see that?!" shouted T.K. "That was AWESOME!"
"We've seen that even a co-operative effort of our Digimon doesn't get to Myotismon. We need another plan!" Izzy said urgently.
"Why aren't we helping, Tai?" Metalgreymon growled from the rooftop next to the bridge.
"None of us could get through, but he's been doing better because he's not as big a target, or something..."
"You are strong, foolish one. But even the strong have fears and terrors... I wonder what yours are?" Myotismon sneered. "NIGHTMARE CLAW!" A wall of blackness swept across the platform towards Benjamon.
"CHAAAIN BLASTER!" He cried, but the spheres of light were swallowed by the encroaching shadow. "Ooh, Sh...AAAAAAAUGGH!" Benjamon screamed as the darkness moved over, around, and through him.
"Oh, no!" gasped Lilymon, remembering how same attack affected her. "How horrible!"
Benjamon's face lost its color, his entire body and clothing turning shades of gray as images of terrors and fears bombarded, assaulted him. Falling to his knees, Benjamon screamed again, before collapsing forward on his face, his glasses bouncing off and sliding along the platform.
"What a dork, right, Myotismon?" Demidevimon cackled, picking up the glasses in his free talons. "Look!" Demidevimon said, putting the glasses on over his own round, golden eyes. "I'm a Digimon who can beat Myotismon by hitting him with my marshmallowy fists and feet!" the little Digimon cackled, making a great show of pretending to kick Myotismon. "Chain Blaster! Ha ha! Right, boss?" he asked, eagerly seeking Myotismon's approval.
Myotismon watched Demidevimon and chuckled darkly, and turned back to Gatomon and Kari, his black cloak whirling out. "Very good, Demidevimon." He said, turning his blue eyes on the girl and cat, who were still standing defiant of his power.
"Thank you, Lord Myotismon!" gloated the brown-nosing Demidevimon, removing Benjamon's glasses and holding them in his talons.
"Now, little Gatomon. There is no one left to save you. You turned on me, and by doing so, forfeit your existence." Intoned Myotismon, preparing to attack. "NIGHTMARE..."
"NO!" Kari screamed, and a muted voice from the collapsed Benjamon echoed...
"no..."
Suddenly Demidevimon cried out: "OW! These things are HOT!" as Kari's Digivice and Benjamon's glasses suddenly glowed with radiant white light. The evil Digimon dropped the two items, and tried to nurse his feet. Benjamon's glasses moved of their own free will back to Benjamon, whose hand guards and silver Digivice (still in his pocket) emitted the same pure light.
"No!" Myotismon gasped, fear creeping into his dark soul, "Not her!"
"Gatomon Digivolve to..."
Gatomon grew, changing shape from a small white cat to a glowing, winged female figure of shimmering white. Her hair became long and blond as a winged metal helmet descended onto her head, covering her strikingly blue eyes. A winged glove appeared to slip over her left hand, while boots of white feathers and gold slipped on over her feet. A golden breastplate (literally) covered her chest while a figure-hugging white leotard preserved modesty.
"ANGEWOMAN!"
This was not the only Digivolution occurring, though... In the rubble where Benjamon lay, tiny bursts of light, like thousands of flashbulbs, cascaded across the collapsed figure, restoring color to any part of his body they touched.
"Benjamon Digivolve to..."
The rookie Digimon stood up, and glowed intensely, the shape in the light changing. It doubled in height, and tripled in width. Skin turned to thick green scales, and his right eye darkened as it grew into a triangular black void where no light shone. The figure remained humanoid, but the jaws lengthened slightly and nose vanished, the expanding fingers and toes ending in claw-like points. Benjamon's hand guards and glasses melted into a pool of quicksilver, flowing upwards around his head and forming a mask that covered his mouth and the left side of his face, forming a loose grid of wire mesh over the left eye before wrapping around the right side to rejoin at the mouth. Finally, the new figure's head, hands, and feet burst into flames that continued to shine after the shape settled down into Benjamon's Champion Digivolved form.
((PSISAUROMON!))
Immediately, the fog around the war zone began to burn away in the heat of the flames, the entire area becoming warmer.
"Oh no!" shrieked Mimi, "It's Skullmamemon again!"
"No, it isn't!" Izzy replied, typing furiously at his computer.
The Digimon Analyzer appeared on the screen:
ANGEWOMAN:
Gatomon's Ultimate form. She has two attacks, 'Celestial Arrow' and 'Heaven's Gift'.
"And the other one?" Matt asked, finally speaking up.
PSISAUROMON:
Champion Digimon. Possible Psionic Reptile Digimon. Cannot speak; Uses telepathy to communicate. While using psychic abilities, the voided eye will turn pure white. The flames on his head, hands, and feet are identical to the fires of the sun. He has two attacks, 'Corona Flare' and 'Psi-Shield'.
Myotismon looked up at the majestic Angewoman, and bared his teeth in anger.
"BOSS! BOSS!" Demi-Devimon screamed at Myotismon. "Look out!"
((Pardon me, sir...)) The words were silent, yet everyone heard. ((I believe we have unfinished business))
"What??" Myotismon whirled, and stared straight into a chest of green scales that flowed over hardened muscles. Looking up, he saw the light and winced... "Sunlight?! H...How?" he gasped, staggering away.
((Ahh...so the classical mythology of vampires is true...)) Psisauromon thought. ((Your biggest mistake was using your nightmare claw on me... I saw you as ruler of a hopeless world, and could not allow that to become true... YOU made me Digivolve.))
Myotismon wrapped his cloak about him tightly, to keep the light out.
"He's weakened by the light!" Angemon shouted. "Let's go!"
((Wait... let me hurt him a little first, please?))
Angemon looked around, and the others shook their heads... "No!" they all shouted.
"We want this to end now!" Tai yelled from Metalgreymon's side, and the other Digi-Destined nodded in agreement. "Right!"
((Awww... I'll hold him still, then...)) a sibilant, hissing laugh emerged from the nostril holes in Psisauromon's mask. ((Figure out how to defeat him in one shot, I don't know if I could dodge all your attacks at once...))
"That's simple." Angewoman announced in a dulcet tone... "HEAVEN'S CHARM!"
A bright shimmering green ball appeared above her head, casting an unearthly glow about the battlefield.
"Hey! I feel my powers getting stronger!" roared Metalgraymon.
"Mine, too!" Zudomon agreed.
"Yeah!" Weregarurumon snarled.
Psisauromon advanced on Myotismon, cracking his huge flaming knuckles. ((I must thank you, Myotismon. I like this form...I always wanted to look like a body builder.))
Myotismon held his cloak up over his eyes. "I cannot end like this... Must ...Win..." he wheezed... "CRIMSON LIGHTNING!" Again, red whips appeared, and flashed toward Psisauromon.
((PSI-SHIELD!))
The dark right eye of Psisauromon blazed white as flames erupted in front of him, then slowed down, freezing into a solid white barrier. Myotismon's whips bounced off the wall harmlessly. The eye that wasn't flashed again and the barrier sped toward Myotismon, catching him head-on like a runaway Mack truck, flattening the weakened vampire and forcing him to the ground.
Sora winced... "That looks painful."
((Anything else? Last stands, pleas of mercy?))
Myotismon shuddered... "Last... Chance." he gasped to himself. "YOU WILL DIE! NIGHTMARE CLAW!" he screamed. Again, the black aura swept towards Psisauromon.
((Now, I will show YOU true terror!)) ((CORONA FLARE!))
The flames of Psisauromon's appendages leapt up higher, and spiraled out in front of him, creating a beam of pure white light and heat, blasting through the encroaching wall of darkness.
At that moment, all seven original Digimon focused their attacks on Angewoman's 'Heaven's Charm'
"FLOWER CANNON!" cried Lilymon, shooting a luminescent green ball.
"WING BLADE!" yelled Garudamon, creating a scintillating firebird.
"VULCAN'S HAMMER!" Zudomon bellowed, smashing his mallet into the ground and creating a beam of energy.
"WOLF CLAW!" Weregarurumon snarled, slashing out an 'x' of red energy with his claws.
"HORN BUSTER!" rumbled Megakabuterimon, releasing a bolt of electrical power from his massive horn.
"HAND OF FATE!" Angemon yelled, emitting a beam of holy purity from his fist.
"GIGA BLASTER!" Metalgraymon roared, firing steel-gray missiles from his breastplate.
All seven attacks sped toward the spinning, shining sphere above Angewoman's head, adding their strength to hers.
"CELESTIAL ARROW!" Angewoman yelled, the wings on her left glove extending into a bow while she nocked the bolt of radiant purifying light and fired at Myotismon's black heart.
The arrow and beam of solar fire hit Myotismon simultaneously, one piercing his body, the other wrapping around him, setting him ablaze. "NO...IT CANNOT BE!" he shrieked, his body shattering and igniting, leaving behind his blue mask as the only evidence of his presence. A dark Demidevimon swooped down and snatched the mask, spiriting it away before anyone could reach it.
The fires of Psisauromon banked down to their original heights, covering his hands, feet and head in wreaths of flame. Psisauromon glowed, and returned form to Benjamon. The fog instantly rushed back over the tower, which seemed odd to him, but because of his exhaustion he couldn't think why. He took a step and stumbled, looking dazedly around him. Managing to walk over to a large piece of broken concrete, and sat down on the rough surface.
"What a rush!" he exulted, then blinked wearily. Leaning back on the block, he fell asleep before any of the Digi-Destined or the Digimon reached him.
Hope you liked it; I am striving to be one of the better fanfic writers around. Please send comments to Drowzee1@hotmail.com and I'll try to improve my stories. (I am aware that I have misspelled Garurumon and Weregarurumon, but I thought I was correct at the time as I wrote from memory.) Abusive mails will be summarily ignored. Let's keep things positive.
My next episode will be "Fate's Decree" in which Agumon and Gabumon will go Mega and defeat Venomyotismon, and Benjamon/Psisauromon will not be fighting at all, but involved in discovering more about...well, you'll just have to read it. After that, I have the Dark Masters episodes on tape, so conversion to the new storyline will go much more quickly.
This is a BIG one. Nearly entirely a battle, so enjoy!
Scene: Inside the gray halls of the television tower where Myotismon is holding Gatomon. Bakemon patrol the floors.
Benjamon slipped in after Demidevimon and Kari, getting through the doors just before they closed. Moving silently through the dimly lit green halls, Benjamon followed the batwinged bootlicker Digimon that kept repeating and embellishing a story that would make him look the best. "Okay... So I found you hiding, No! You were right in the middle of all the Digi-Destined, and I lured them away, putting myself at great risk before I came back to capture you!" Demidevimon cackled, his twisted mind whirling. "I can't say I fought the Digi-Destined, Lord Myotismon would never believe that."
Shaking his head at the opportunistic blue/black Digimon, Benjamon crept along behind, tucking into small alcoves, hiding around corners... He slowly looked around the edge of the wall, and saw...
Demidevimon pushing Kari into an elevator.
Benjamin swore under his breath, and looked about for the stairs. There would be no way for him to get onto another elevator without being obvious, and...
Something touched his shoulder. "Who are you?" it said, voice hollow, lacking substance.
"What?" Benjamon yelped, jumping about three feet into the air and spinning. In front of him was a bedsheet with eyes and teeth... A ghost Digimon, Bakemon. Benjamon swore again. "Umm... I'm delivering a pizza. Did someone order a large pepperoni?"
At the mention of food, the Bakemon's eyes went wide. "Hey, everyone!" it called, "There's a Pizza guy with a large pepperoni!"
The floor, ceiling, and walls wavered as Bakemon slipped through at the promise of pizza. Benjamon mentally kicked himself several times as at least 20 more Bakemon appeared.
"Where's the pizza?" the first ghost Digimon asked, shouts of agreement emerging from the rest of the crowd.
Benjamon ran through his options.
1. Play the role of a pizza delivery guy. Would take too long. If Kari died, then the world would be plunged into darkness.
2. Run away, and find another way up. No idea where to run to, and again, might take too long.
3. Fight. Benjamon HAD defeated Phantomon. Bakemon shouldn't be too hard, and would ensure no further interference once defeated.
Benjamon took number three, golden eyes glittering dangerously in the dim light as he grabbed a Bakemon by the hem and ripped upward, damaging the ghost program so badly it disintegrated. Hand guards shining with an inner light burned away the subroutines of the next ghost as Benjamon speared his left hand into its eyes. Three more Bakemon fell before their peers could react, and converged on the lone rookie Digimon.
"You're no pizza guy!" One shouted.
"What are you doing?!" yelled another as they spiraled round and round.
Across the hallway, a door cracked open as Izzy, Tentomon, and Matt's father peered out. "What are those ghosts doing?" the adult whispered.
"I'm not sure, but they sure are excited!" Tentomon replied quietly.
From within the whirling mass of Bakemon, a white figure flew out as a sneaker crashed into its face and sent the Bakemon spinning into the wall, where it slid down to the floor with a humorous squeak before disassociating into its component data.
"I'd say they are not having a good day..." Izzy murmured as a fist wrapped in unearthly light tore through another hapless Digimon.
"Who wants to be next?!" Benjamon yelled. "I'll be all too glad to send you back home in as many pieces as possible!" He grabbed another Bakemon from the dwindling mass by its sleeves and ripped it asunder through sheer force.
"He's not very good at battle cries," Tentomon noted, still watching the fight.
"Does he really need to be?" Matt's father asked.
"Well, not really..." the red beetle replied... "And what was that about a pizza?"
"RAAH!" Benjamon shouted, slamming his glowing fists into a Bakemon and leaping through the hole. He dashed off down the hallway, moving fast.
"After him!" one of the remaining ghosts shouted, giving chase for several yards before realizing he was alone. "What are you waiting for?"
One of the smarter spooks spoke up... "You saw what he did!"
One of the dumber spooks added, "Maybe he went to get the pizza."
"Would you rather face Myotismon if he finds out we haven't been doing our jobs?" the first Bakemon demanded.
As one, the Bakemon flew after the retreating Benjamon.
Running down the green hallway, Benjamon swerved to the left side of the hall and jumped, hitting the corner at an angle, and ran in a curve along the vertical wall, turning his momentum and body around to run straight back at the line of Bakemon.
Startled by the charge, the white ghost Digimon became even paler as they scrambled to get out of the way.
Bakemon, however, are not known for being incredibly quick and agile.
The white sheets, holed and torn, careened into the sides of the hall, one flying out through the plate glass at the far end before deleting.
Izzy looked through the window... "Hey, Tentomon! The others are here!"
"Let's go out and greet them, then!" Tentomon said, heading for the elevator.
Outside, the Digi-Destined had gathered: Matt and Garurumon, Sora and Lilymon flew in on Garudamon. Joe, TK, and Wizardmon showed up soon after on the newly Digivolved Zudomon.
"What was that?" TK asked, pointing to the sky-blackening bits of data that had so recently been Bakemon.
"Some guy came along and just started hurling Bakemon left and right!" Izzy exclaimed. "That's all that's left."
Matt and Sora looked at each other. "Looks like that Benjamon passed through." Sora said, watching the last of the solid black data cloud disappear.
"And went berserk." Matt added.
"Anyway, the tower's clear of Bakemon, so we should go and find the fog generator." Izzy explained after Wizardmon had restored Lilymon.
Demidevimon had left to inform Myotismon of his 'Successful capture of the Eighth child' and left Kari guarded by a pair of Bakemon. Both guards were bored, and quickly fell asleep. They didn't even notice when Benjamon ground them to bits and bytes.
"Kari!" Benjamon said with relief. "I'm sorry, I was delayed. Are you all right?" he asked.
"I'm fine. Demidevimon left..." Kari answered.
"I see... Let me find someplace to hide... Maybe up in the rafters..." he said, looking up at the high roof of the sphere, crossed with girders.
"What?" Kari said, confused.
"I don't want to be seen before I know what I am up against. I can only stop Myotismon if I can catch him by surprise..." Benjamin explained, jumping onto a cabinet and climbing up to the top. A quick leap, and he disappears into the shadows of the ceiling.
Moments later, a cloud of bats formed on the ceiling, a seething mass of flapping black wings. Inside the cloud, a figure drifted down... Black boots, blue trousers and doublet, black and red cape, high collar, and a purple batwinged mask. "Nice fashion sense... for the 1300's." Benjamon thought to himself. Myotismon held Gatomon by the scruff of her neck, and the cat's large blue oval eyes were filled with such sadness and despair... Stifling a sniffle of sympathy, Benjamon quickly shifted around among the support beams to move behind Myotismon and await a chance to strike. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Digi-Destined enter the building.
Below, Myotismon interrogated Kari and Gatomon.
"Why did you come, little girl?" the vampire asked, looking down at the eighth child.
"You were hurting people, and I couldn't allow that." Kari answered firmly, looking Myotismon straight in the eye.
"What?" Myotismon seemed momentarily stunned at the girl's assertiveness in his presence. Didn't she KNOW she was going to die?
"You were hurting people to find me, so I came here so you wouldn't hurt anyone else!" Kari retorted vehemently.
The Digital Lord of the Undead blinked, then chortled. "What a responsible child!" he exclaimed, then held Gatomon up and asked, "Why don't you look at the eighth Digi-destined, Gatomon?"
"Because she's not the eight child," Gatomon lied quickly, her voice not even quavering as she refused to look at Kari, "I don't know who she is."
"Lot of spunk for such a small Digimon," Benjamin thought admiringly, "Just like Kari, but I guess that's to be expected..."
Myotismon sneered. "Oh, really?" he asked, snapping his fingers.
Demidevimon cackled as he swept down on Kari, yanking and clawing at her brown hair with stumpy, evil talons as Myotismon looked on. Kari screamed shrilly, trying to bat Demidevimon away.
"KARI!" Gatomon yelled, blowing her story as her instinctive protectiveness kicked in. Benjamon punched an unoffending girder in frustration.
"Odd that you should know her name, Gatomon, if you don't know who she is." Myotismon smiled, revealing more fang than normal.
Gatomon wrenched herself free of Myotismon's grip, and threw herself in front of Kari. The large, piercing blue eyes of the cat Digimon saw Benjamon getting ready to jump on Myotismon, and widened.
Myotismon laughed again. "Now that you're both here, I can destroy you easily."
Benjamon waved his hands and mouthed "No!" to Gatomon, who was still watching him, her mouth slightly agape as she tried to focus on both Digimon at once.
"Eh?" Myotismon snarled, spinning around to follow Gatomon's gaze. "A spy? An assassin?"
Benjamon had moved further back as his cover was blown by the piercing indigo eyes of the white cat. Crouching on a girder directly above the vampire, he hoped that he hadn't been seen...
"Or a diversion?" Myotismon finished, scanning the roof supports.
"Once the other Digi-Destined get here, you won't stand a chance, Myotismon!" Kari asserted.
"Hmmm... Then I'll just finish you now, little girl! GRISTLY WING!"
Before Myotismon had drawn back his cloak to unleash his bats, a tinny voice shouted:
"Tentomon Digivolve to... KABUTERIMON!"
A giant, evil looking roach appeared underneath the girder grid, startling Benjamon so greatly that he fell off his perch and held on to the beam with his fingertips.
"ELECTROSHOCKER!" Kabuterimon called, creating a ball of crackling blue and purple electricity that cut through the air en route to Myotismon.
"FLOWER...CANNON!" a feminine voice called, the speaker hidden from sight behind a steel I-beam. The luminous green light of the shell, however, was easy to see.
"Bah!" Myotismon snorted, blowing a puff of air at the incoming attacks.
Electricity and plant energy flew upwards, moved from their course by that single breath of the vampire lord.
"mother!" Benjamon whimpered, goldenrod eyes wide with terror as the green and blue raced towards the roof.
Buildings throughout the city shuddered as the attacks exploded violently against the roof of the spherical structure. The cataclysmic blast opened a gaping hole in the ceiling of the television station, and blew out all of the windows of the observation platform; debris evaporated or was scattered like straw in a tornado.
The Digi-Destined gasped as Myotismon telekinetically lifted Kari, Gatomon and himself out through the hole, Demidevimon flapping rapidly to catch up to his master.
"Weregarurumon! Go!" Matt shouted, and the werewolf jumped through one of the broken windows onto the platform where Myotismon landed.
Garudamon saw the cloaked vampire lord fly outwards, and picked up Zudomon by one of his shell spines, lifting him up to a nearby roof top. "We're here to destroy you, Myotismon!" she bellowed, flexing her arms menacingly while Zudomon slapped his hammerhead into his open fist.
"How nice!" Myotismon sneered, flaring his cloak about him dramatically with an evil laugh. "I don't feel threatened by a bird and turtle-dog. Go home, and I'll destroy you later!"
"Kabuterimon Digivolve to... MEGAKABUTERIMON!"
From the observation platform, Izzy shouted "Get Kari, Megakabuterimon!"
"HORN BUSTER!" the gigantic atlas beetle roared, flying toward Myotismon.
From the fog, Benjamin watched as Myotismon casually redirected the awesome mass of Megakabuterimon's charge at Weregarurumon, the vampire laughing as the wolf fell over the side, clinging to the edge of the platform. A flash of red light knocked the werewolf from his precarious clawhold, and the warrior fell to the ground with a crash.
As an observer, Benjamon was currently terrible. The explosion had been survivable by using the steel beams as a shield, but his hearing and nerves were shot to Hades. Looking on and trembling, he watched Wizardmon blast Myotismon from behind... throw something small and shiny to Kari... "Got to pull together..." he groaned above the ringing in his head. "Om mani padme h'um... Om mani padme h'um..." he chanted quietly and slowly, repeating the Tibetan Buddhist chant to focus his mind.
Time seemed to slow for him as the chant became faster, and more agitated.
Slowly, Myotismon turned to Wizardmon...
"Om mani padme h'um... Om mani padme h'um!"
The ringing in his head faded as Myotismon retaliated with a ball of violent violet energy...
"OM MANI PADME H'UM! OM MANI PADME H'UM!"
More focus... more focus... the whiskers on Gatomon's face became clear, every detail of Wizardmon being hurled against the wall recorded by his eyes...
"OM MANI PADME H'UM! OM MANI PADME H'UM!"
Tai and Greymon appeared... Tai threw Kari's Digivice to her...So slow...Demidevimon's dive to take the Digivice away reduced to a relative inching.
"Greymon Digivolve to... METALGREYMON!" The roar broke up the chant, and Benjamon was on his feet, time flowing at the usual clip.
"GIGA BLASTER!" Metalgreymon bellowed, chest plate opening to launch the large, gunmetal gray missiles at the digital vampire.
Raising his palms, Myotismon simply dissolved the attack, breaking the explosives down to particles of black data.
"HORN BUSTER!" Megakabuterimon tried again, sending a jagged bolt of electricity at Myotismon.
"VULCAN'S HAMMER!" Zudomon smashed his large hammer against the platform and emitting an energy beam.
"WING BLADE!" Garudamon tensed her body, then unleashed a scintillating bird of fire that flew at the cloaked ultimate.
"FLOWER CANNON!" Lilymon cried, sending the glowing green shell at Myotismon.
Myotismon laughed and dispersed all the attacks simultaneously.
TK and Patamon looked at each other and nodded decisively.
"Patamon Digivolve to... ANGEMON!"
Myotismon winced back from the holy light of Angemon, and fell to his knees with the Hand of Fate Angemon leveled at him. Benjamon couldn't hear what was happening, and sneaked up as close as he dared.
"...about to ask you the same question! GRISTLY WING!" Myotismon attacked Kari and Gatomon again, intent on disrupting the prophecy that had lead the Digi-Destined into action.
Wizardmon jumped in front of the blast, sacrificing himself for Gatomon.
Watching the events from the shadows, Benjamon nodded to himself, crouched, then launched himself at the hazy cloak in the fog.
Even as Wizardmon spoke his final words to Gatomon, Myotismon fell to one knee, drawing the attention of some of the Digi-Destined and their Digimon.
"WHO DARES TO STRIKE ME?" Myotismon bellowed, spinning around, only to be met with a roundhouse kick to his face, and a fist driven into his stomach. Myotismon flinched, but only slightly. The evil virus Digimon looked down and smiled at Benjamon, who was still trying to hammer Myotismon into defeat. "Well done, human. You caught me by surprise. How unfortunate that your courage is no match for my power." Myotismon sneered, picking Benjamon up by the throat and hurling him through the plate glass of an office building across the street from the tower.
"We've got to help him!" cried Sora, looking at the shattered glass.
"Actually, I think this Benjamon character might just be buying the time we need to figure out how to defeat Myotismon. Observe!" Said Izzy, watching as the humanoid stood up, ran towards the shattered glass, and leapt the twenty-foot gap, landing in front of the undead lord of the Digiworld.
"Bravo... Should I applaud?" Myotismon said, dripping with sarcasm.
"If you like. But never call me 'human'... I am a Digimon." Benjamon replied, strangely calm.
"When I destroy you, I won't have to call you ANYTHING!" Myotismon shouted, "CRIMSON LIGHTNING!" Great whips of red light formed in Myotismon's hands, and slashed downwards towards the rookie Digimon, who was...
Ten feet out of Myotismon's attack range.
"Again, Well done." Myotismon said with a toothy smile, advancing, and snapping his whips at the cornered Benjamon. No matter how quickly he swung, he couldn't hit the annoyance that had kicked him in the back. When he slashed for the head, Benjamon ducked underneath the shimmering red cords. When he attacked the legs, Benjamon jumped over, pulling down one eyelid and giving the ol' Bronx cheer to Myotismon. Even when Myotismon tried sweeping his whips in parallel to remove his unlikely opponent's head and knees, Benjamon jumped and rolled directly between the Crimson Lightning attack. Attacking to the left and right met only air and concrete as Benjamon's figure blurred with the speed of his dodges.
"Look at him go!" shouted Joe. "See, not all guys with glasses are clumsy!" he blinked, a large sweat bead forming on the back of his head as he realized everyone was looking at him. "Well... I..."
"We never said you were clumsy, Joe." Mimi said, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"You are quick, fool. But no matter how fast you are, you can't dodge this!" Myotismon growled. "GRISTLY WING!" hundreds of jet-black bats flew out of his cloak, weaving about each other as they rushed towards Benjamon.
"I don't have to dodge." Benjamon responded, breathing heavily. "CHAAAAIN BLASTER!" Benjamon held his hands out in front of him, and baseball sized orbs of pure white light shot forth from each hand in rapid succession, like a machine gun firing stars. Each orb hit a bat and exploded silently, taking the bat with it. In a few moments, the entire swarm had been disintegrated.
"Did you see that?!" shouted T.K. "That was AWESOME!"
"We've seen that even a co-operative effort of our Digimon doesn't get to Myotismon. We need another plan!" Izzy said urgently.
"Why aren't we helping, Tai?" Metalgreymon growled from the rooftop next to the bridge.
"None of us could get through, but he's been doing better because he's not as big a target, or something..."
"You are strong, foolish one. But even the strong have fears and terrors... I wonder what yours are?" Myotismon sneered. "NIGHTMARE CLAW!" A wall of blackness swept across the platform towards Benjamon.
"CHAAAIN BLASTER!" He cried, but the spheres of light were swallowed by the encroaching shadow. "Ooh, Sh...AAAAAAAUGGH!" Benjamon screamed as the darkness moved over, around, and through him.
"Oh, no!" gasped Lilymon, remembering how same attack affected her. "How horrible!"
Benjamon's face lost its color, his entire body and clothing turning shades of gray as images of terrors and fears bombarded, assaulted him. Falling to his knees, Benjamon screamed again, before collapsing forward on his face, his glasses bouncing off and sliding along the platform.
"What a dork, right, Myotismon?" Demidevimon cackled, picking up the glasses in his free talons. "Look!" Demidevimon said, putting the glasses on over his own round, golden eyes. "I'm a Digimon who can beat Myotismon by hitting him with my marshmallowy fists and feet!" the little Digimon cackled, making a great show of pretending to kick Myotismon. "Chain Blaster! Ha ha! Right, boss?" he asked, eagerly seeking Myotismon's approval.
Myotismon watched Demidevimon and chuckled darkly, and turned back to Gatomon and Kari, his black cloak whirling out. "Very good, Demidevimon." He said, turning his blue eyes on the girl and cat, who were still standing defiant of his power.
"Thank you, Lord Myotismon!" gloated the brown-nosing Demidevimon, removing Benjamon's glasses and holding them in his talons.
"Now, little Gatomon. There is no one left to save you. You turned on me, and by doing so, forfeit your existence." Intoned Myotismon, preparing to attack. "NIGHTMARE..."
"NO!" Kari screamed, and a muted voice from the collapsed Benjamon echoed...
"no..."
Suddenly Demidevimon cried out: "OW! These things are HOT!" as Kari's Digivice and Benjamon's glasses suddenly glowed with radiant white light. The evil Digimon dropped the two items, and tried to nurse his feet. Benjamon's glasses moved of their own free will back to Benjamon, whose hand guards and silver Digivice (still in his pocket) emitted the same pure light.
"No!" Myotismon gasped, fear creeping into his dark soul, "Not her!"
"Gatomon Digivolve to..."
Gatomon grew, changing shape from a small white cat to a glowing, winged female figure of shimmering white. Her hair became long and blond as a winged metal helmet descended onto her head, covering her strikingly blue eyes. A winged glove appeared to slip over her left hand, while boots of white feathers and gold slipped on over her feet. A golden breastplate (literally) covered her chest while a figure-hugging white leotard preserved modesty.
"ANGEWOMAN!"
This was not the only Digivolution occurring, though... In the rubble where Benjamon lay, tiny bursts of light, like thousands of flashbulbs, cascaded across the collapsed figure, restoring color to any part of his body they touched.
"Benjamon Digivolve to..."
The rookie Digimon stood up, and glowed intensely, the shape in the light changing. It doubled in height, and tripled in width. Skin turned to thick green scales, and his right eye darkened as it grew into a triangular black void where no light shone. The figure remained humanoid, but the jaws lengthened slightly and nose vanished, the expanding fingers and toes ending in claw-like points. Benjamon's hand guards and glasses melted into a pool of quicksilver, flowing upwards around his head and forming a mask that covered his mouth and the left side of his face, forming a loose grid of wire mesh over the left eye before wrapping around the right side to rejoin at the mouth. Finally, the new figure's head, hands, and feet burst into flames that continued to shine after the shape settled down into Benjamon's Champion Digivolved form.
((PSISAUROMON!))
Immediately, the fog around the war zone began to burn away in the heat of the flames, the entire area becoming warmer.
"Oh no!" shrieked Mimi, "It's Skullmamemon again!"
"No, it isn't!" Izzy replied, typing furiously at his computer.
The Digimon Analyzer appeared on the screen:
ANGEWOMAN:
Gatomon's Ultimate form. She has two attacks, 'Celestial Arrow' and 'Heaven's Gift'.
"And the other one?" Matt asked, finally speaking up.
PSISAUROMON:
Champion Digimon. Possible Psionic Reptile Digimon. Cannot speak; Uses telepathy to communicate. While using psychic abilities, the voided eye will turn pure white. The flames on his head, hands, and feet are identical to the fires of the sun. He has two attacks, 'Corona Flare' and 'Psi-Shield'.
Myotismon looked up at the majestic Angewoman, and bared his teeth in anger.
"BOSS! BOSS!" Demi-Devimon screamed at Myotismon. "Look out!"
((Pardon me, sir...)) The words were silent, yet everyone heard. ((I believe we have unfinished business))
"What??" Myotismon whirled, and stared straight into a chest of green scales that flowed over hardened muscles. Looking up, he saw the light and winced... "Sunlight?! H...How?" he gasped, staggering away.
((Ahh...so the classical mythology of vampires is true...)) Psisauromon thought. ((Your biggest mistake was using your nightmare claw on me... I saw you as ruler of a hopeless world, and could not allow that to become true... YOU made me Digivolve.))
Myotismon wrapped his cloak about him tightly, to keep the light out.
"He's weakened by the light!" Angemon shouted. "Let's go!"
((Wait... let me hurt him a little first, please?))
Angemon looked around, and the others shook their heads... "No!" they all shouted.
"We want this to end now!" Tai yelled from Metalgreymon's side, and the other Digi-Destined nodded in agreement. "Right!"
((Awww... I'll hold him still, then...)) a sibilant, hissing laugh emerged from the nostril holes in Psisauromon's mask. ((Figure out how to defeat him in one shot, I don't know if I could dodge all your attacks at once...))
"That's simple." Angewoman announced in a dulcet tone... "HEAVEN'S CHARM!"
A bright shimmering green ball appeared above her head, casting an unearthly glow about the battlefield.
"Hey! I feel my powers getting stronger!" roared Metalgraymon.
"Mine, too!" Zudomon agreed.
"Yeah!" Weregarurumon snarled.
Psisauromon advanced on Myotismon, cracking his huge flaming knuckles. ((I must thank you, Myotismon. I like this form...I always wanted to look like a body builder.))
Myotismon held his cloak up over his eyes. "I cannot end like this... Must ...Win..." he wheezed... "CRIMSON LIGHTNING!" Again, red whips appeared, and flashed toward Psisauromon.
((PSI-SHIELD!))
The dark right eye of Psisauromon blazed white as flames erupted in front of him, then slowed down, freezing into a solid white barrier. Myotismon's whips bounced off the wall harmlessly. The eye that wasn't flashed again and the barrier sped toward Myotismon, catching him head-on like a runaway Mack truck, flattening the weakened vampire and forcing him to the ground.
Sora winced... "That looks painful."
((Anything else? Last stands, pleas of mercy?))
Myotismon shuddered... "Last... Chance." he gasped to himself. "YOU WILL DIE! NIGHTMARE CLAW!" he screamed. Again, the black aura swept towards Psisauromon.
((Now, I will show YOU true terror!)) ((CORONA FLARE!))
The flames of Psisauromon's appendages leapt up higher, and spiraled out in front of him, creating a beam of pure white light and heat, blasting through the encroaching wall of darkness.
At that moment, all seven original Digimon focused their attacks on Angewoman's 'Heaven's Charm'
"FLOWER CANNON!" cried Lilymon, shooting a luminescent green ball.
"WING BLADE!" yelled Garudamon, creating a scintillating firebird.
"VULCAN'S HAMMER!" Zudomon bellowed, smashing his mallet into the ground and creating a beam of energy.
"WOLF CLAW!" Weregarurumon snarled, slashing out an 'x' of red energy with his claws.
"HORN BUSTER!" rumbled Megakabuterimon, releasing a bolt of electrical power from his massive horn.
"HAND OF FATE!" Angemon yelled, emitting a beam of holy purity from his fist.
"GIGA BLASTER!" Metalgraymon roared, firing steel-gray missiles from his breastplate.
All seven attacks sped toward the spinning, shining sphere above Angewoman's head, adding their strength to hers.
"CELESTIAL ARROW!" Angewoman yelled, the wings on her left glove extending into a bow while she nocked the bolt of radiant purifying light and fired at Myotismon's black heart.
The arrow and beam of solar fire hit Myotismon simultaneously, one piercing his body, the other wrapping around him, setting him ablaze. "NO...IT CANNOT BE!" he shrieked, his body shattering and igniting, leaving behind his blue mask as the only evidence of his presence. A dark Demidevimon swooped down and snatched the mask, spiriting it away before anyone could reach it.
The fires of Psisauromon banked down to their original heights, covering his hands, feet and head in wreaths of flame. Psisauromon glowed, and returned form to Benjamon. The fog instantly rushed back over the tower, which seemed odd to him, but because of his exhaustion he couldn't think why. He took a step and stumbled, looking dazedly around him. Managing to walk over to a large piece of broken concrete, and sat down on the rough surface.
"What a rush!" he exulted, then blinked wearily. Leaning back on the block, he fell asleep before any of the Digi-Destined or the Digimon reached him.
Hope you liked it; I am striving to be one of the better fanfic writers around. Please send comments to Drowzee1@hotmail.com and I'll try to improve my stories. (I am aware that I have misspelled Garurumon and Weregarurumon, but I thought I was correct at the time as I wrote from memory.) Abusive mails will be summarily ignored. Let's keep things positive.
My next episode will be "Fate's Decree" in which Agumon and Gabumon will go Mega and defeat Venomyotismon, and Benjamon/Psisauromon will not be fighting at all, but involved in discovering more about...well, you'll just have to read it. After that, I have the Dark Masters episodes on tape, so conversion to the new storyline will go much more quickly.
