Digimon World Tour pt 3-
War in the City of Love
In
Tokyo, a fierce blizzard had whipped up. Sora recognised the wild weather as a sign that
energy from the digital world was putting pressure on the real world, just as it had four
years ago- when there was Heat waves in England, mudslides in Japan and freak blizzards- a
snowstorm like this brought back memories of the day her and the other 6 children first
received their digivices and entered the digital world. They hadn't been long in
Tokyo, and hadn't met up with the 3 Poi brothers, whom Gennai had told them would be
their guides to the city. They'd organised to meet them inside a large Mall, so they
were having a look around to pass the time. Currently, Yolei was sitting on a bench,
having a conversation with Joe over the D-Terminal.
Why
couldn't the digimon have chosen some place warmer to invade? whined Yolei.
You
know, Yolei, comparatively the sewers underneath the city are a lot warmer than what
it's like above ground, replied Joe.
The
sewers? replied Yolei. All the invading digimon are hiding out in the
sewers? Gross!
Sucks
to be you, I know. I can't offer much sympathy, seeing as I'm getting a tan on
the beaches of Sydney and all, but I do have some good news.
Give
me the 411, I could use some cheering up.
Well,
if our new buddy Tsubomon is anything to go by, the Demon Corps aren't actually so
demonic after all. They're just under a spell, which turned them into evil Ultimates.
If you can break the spells by defeating them, it will cause them to dedigivolve back into
a much less dangerous form.
And
considerably cuter! squeaked Tsubomon, who was currently sitting on Joe's
shoulder.
That's
brilliant news! That means we won't have to destroy them after all!
Exactly.
Well, good luck. So far, ours is the only Control Spire to have been destroyed, so you
need to get a move on and find Lady Devimon.
You
got it, Joe. We'll do our best. Yolei over and out!
As
Yolei closed the Terminal and slipped it into her bag, a trenchcoated figure floated away
from nearby. Yes, floated. He also had a pair of clawed blue hands and black eyes the size
of ping-pong balls
A
few minutes later, in the sewers
Bakemon,
what do you have to report?
The
phantom digimon took off his trenchcoat and addressed the second member of the Demon
Corps, Lady Devimon.
They've
discovered our whereabouts, ma'am. They know we're hiding in the sewers. I also
overheard that Marine Devimon has been defeated, and the Control Spire in Sydney has been
lost.
Bah!
That crooning coelacanth could never do anything right, except sing. I trust you took care
of the girl?
The
Bakemon blinked. What do you mean, ma'am?
Took
her out! Iced her! Eliminated! Wasted! You know?
It
was the middle of a mall, Ma'am. There were too many people around. It would have
caused chaos
So
what? That would have been a bonus! To create chaos, to inspire fear, to send people
running like headless Cockatrimon! You could have taken care of her and started a riot
too!
what if they didn't run away? What if they turned and attacked me? What if I got
injured?
You
should have known you'd have gotten more than injured if you returned after losing an
opportunity like that!
I'm
sorry, Ma'am. It'll never happen again!
You're
dang straight it won't happen again, BLACK WING!
Lady
Devimon lashed out with her lance-like arm and shredded the Bakemon to tatters. She turned
away and scowled.
Now
they know I'm here they'll be here soon. I have to ready my army.
She flew down some pathways, quickly reaching the spot where the Control Spire stood. Like
the one in Sydney it was massive, controlling all of the other spires nearby. Lady Devimon
pressed her lance against the Spire, and a piece of rock separated from it like jelly, the
crack quickly filling back in. Lady Devimon stabbed her lance through it.
Needle!
It
must be noted that although the Demon Corps were guarding some of the Control Spires
around the world, it was not possible for them to guard them all. Therefore it was up to
other digimon to defend the Spires in the other 2 locations of France and Mexico. It seems
that Demon was really scraping the bottom of the barrel when he picked these 3
The
famous Eiffel Tower was now covered in Spire Rock, having been converted into the Paris
Control Spire. In the nearby Louvre museum, the 3 digimon in control of the Paris forces
were planning their next move.
Lah dee dah da, Waaaay Margarita! :Buurp!:
Or
not.
(DIGIMON
ANALYSER)
Hey
there, and welcome to the party! I'm BigMamemon, and my brothers and me decided to
throw a banquet to celebrate taking over the Eiffel tower! Lots of French cheese, French
bread, and most important of all, lots of French wine!
And
the best part is, we're the only ones invited! I'm the oldest and smartest of
the Mamemon trio, and my name's err Mamemon! I may only be as big as a
bowling ball, but I've got a monstrous appetite! Mmmm pastrami
Allow
me to slice that for you, bro! I'm the last member of the team, MetalMamemon! Not
only is my Metal Claw useful for cutting up my enemies, it can cut up a roast, slice bread
and even make Julienne Fries!
I
ask you, brothers, could this be any more perfect? We've got control of Paris,
we're eating like kings, and we've got all the napkins and paper towels we
need! said BigMamemon, ripping a painting off the wall and using it to mop up some
split pop.
We
could have the digidestined captured, but I guess that's a bit too much to
ask sighed MetalMamemon.
Think
again, guys! I've got some good news!
Into
the room strode Giromon, a freakish digimon that resembled a purple steel ball on legs,
with horns, slit eyes, a shark-toothed grin, one muscular human arm and one mechanical
arm.
(DIGIMON
ANALYSER)
Giromon's
real job is to guard caverns and tombs in the digital world, but you'd be surprised
how easily he's swayed by the prospect of food! He guards the Louvre against
intruders, and he blows them away with his Giro Bomb and Chain Saw!
In
Giromon's arms was Catherine, tied up tight. Floramon was nowhere to be seen.
I
found the girl and her digimon partner snooping round the building. I gave the digimon a
toasting from my Giro Bomb, but I thought maybe you'd know what to do with the
girl!
The
Mamemons started to grin wickedly.
Just
what we needed, a little entertainment around here! I wonder what we could do with
her? snickered Mamemon.
How
about we torture her to find out where the other digidestined are? leered Giromon.
How
about we drop her off the top of the Control Spire? hissed MetalMamemon.
How
about we ask her if she can open this can of soda? asked BigMamemon. The others
sweatdropped.
What?
You know I can never get the hang of opening them!
As
the Mamemons debated, Tai, TK and Francis made their way towards the Louvre. Tai and TK
were riding on top of Greymon and Angemon, and Francis was riding on Kiwimon, the champion
form of Floramon. Hanging onto Francis' back was his digimon partner, Kokuwamon. All
of them were wearing metal wristbands- a gift from Izzy that he'd distributed to all
of the digidestined. With these wristbands on, the digidestined could understand the
language in whatever area they were in, eliminating any lingual problems at a stroke.
I
have to apologise to all of you for losing Catherine. Giromon overwhelmed me, even after I
digivolved, said Kiwimon.
It's
my fault, Kiwimon, insisted Tai. I shouldn't have asked everyone to split
up to try and find a way of getting into the Louvre. But don't you worry- we've
been in a lot worse situations than this. We'll get Catherine back, I swear it!
(Why
is Tai so fired up about rescuing Catherine?) thought TK. (You don't
suppose
Nova
Blast! yelled Greymon, smashing a hole in the front of the museum. The gang of
digimon thundered inside to find the Mamemon brothers. After trampling through a few
rooms, they found them.
Give
us back Catherine, or else, you tin-plated soccer balls! threatened Tai.
You
know, that really hurts, said BigMamemon.
Yeah!
We're at least silver-plated! argued MetalMamemon.
Tai!
I'm so glad you're here! cheered Catherine.
Don't
worry, Catherine! We'll save you!
(DIGIVOLVE
MODE- ON)
Kokuwamon
digivolve to- Mechanorimon!
Greymon
digivolve to- Metalgreymon!
Waah!
We're out of here! shouted Metalmamemon, blasting a hole in the wall and
jetting out. Giromon and the others followed suit, and the digidestined chased them to the
Eiffel Tower.
We're
not going to give up that easily! Spirit Needle! shouted MetalMamemon, firing a
series of needles from his cannon at the tower. Clumps of Spire sloughed off and
transformed into a group of Ninjamon, Thundermon and Frigimon.
Let's
take these carbon copies down! shouted Metalgreymon, opening up his chestplate.
Giga Blaster!
The
missiles chased into the Control Spire, sending a rain of rock down that crushed several
of the digimon.
No
matter how many you destroy, we can make more! retorted Metalmamemon, firing off
more needles into the spire. Some of the fallen rock started transforming into Shellmon
and Garurumon.
Twinkle
Beam! called Mechanorimon, firing off a volley of lasers that shattered several
digimon. But the digimon kept coming, and soon the group was being swamped by hundreds of
champion digimon.
We're
going to be crushed under weight of numbers! shouted Francis, trying his best to
keep out of the way.
We
need an attack that can get rid of them all in one shot said Angemon.
Suddenly, his face brightened. TK, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
You
sure you're up to it? said TK, pulling out his crest.
Nothing
to it! Angemon digivolve to- MagnaAngemon!
Angemon
transformed into the enormous archangel MagnaAngemon, covered in heavy purple and gold
armour. He hefted his Excalibur sword and cut a circle of energy into the air.
Gate
of Destiny!
The
circle transformed into a huge gold gate, which opened up and started to vacuum up the
spire digimon. In their tens and twenties they were pulled in, until not one was left.
Now
for the Control Spire, boomed MagnaAngemon. He turned the Gate towards it, and it
fired out a huge laser that carved a huge cut into the tower. It began to crack into
pieces, and suddenly every ounce of rock broke away from the Eiffel Tower before
disintegrating into digidust.
Now
what are you going to do? laughed Metalgreymon.
We're
going to blow you away, that's what! Smiley Bomb! shouted Mamemon, firing a
barrage of red bombs at Metalgreymon.
Smiley
Warhead! added Bigmamemon, firing a barrage of much larger bombs at them.
Giro
Bomb! shouted Giromon.
Energy
Bomb! finished MetalMamemon. Metalgreymon dived backwards as the ground beneath him
was reduced to a field of craters. As the digimon fought, Tai made his way over to
Catherine. He made short work of removing the ropes, and Catherine turned round and hugged
him tight.
Thank
you for saving me, Tai! I'm so happy to know that you care about me! It's such a
wonderful feeling!
began Tai. Then he paused- he hadn't actually thought of anything to say beyond that.
(Is what she's saying true? I don't even know myself. Why did I fight so
hard to rescue her? I feel different around her. It's not the same feeling when
I'm next to Mimi, or Yolei, or even Sora Do I really care for her that
much?)
replied Catherine. Tai moved closer and kissed her on the cheek.
Don't
worry. I won't let anything happen to you, assured Tai. He hugged her one more
time, then stood up. Under his coat, Tai's crest of Courage was burning brighter than
ever. Metalgreymon shrunk back to Agumon, realising what was going to happen next. The
Mamemons stopped their shelling for a second, confused. A second was all Agumon needed.
Agumon,
warp-digivolve to-
The
orange beam from Tai's digivice covered Agumon, causing him to rapidly evolve from
Greymon to Metalgreymon. He transformed into a huge orange statue of a giant
dragon-armoured warrior. Bit-by-bit, energy transformed to armour and flesh, covering him
with a pair of huge boots, clawed gauntlets, a pair of shields with the crest of Courage
on them, and a horned helmet from beneath which a pair of emerald eyes glittered.
(DIGIMON
ANALYSER)
He's
back! Agumon's once again in his mega form, the mighty Wargreymon! He can focus the
energy in the palm of his hand into an enormous ball of power called Terra Force!
Let's
see if you can match blades with me, Wargreymon! Metal Claw!
MetalMamemon
launched himself at Wargreymon with his clawed arm raised above is head. Wargreymon
blocked it with one of his gauntlets, causing the blades to snap like twigs against it.
Not
very sharp, MetalMamemon. Mega Claw! shouted Wargreymon, his gauntlets firing off to
smash into MetalMamemon. They slashed once, twice and reduced him to shards of data.
You've
gone too far this time! Now who's going to slice the bread at our victory
celebration? shouted BigMamemon, launching himself at Wargreymon.
The
only thing you'll be eating is humble pie, replied Wargreymon. Terra
Force!
Wargreymon's
huge ball of energy engulfed BigMamemon, reducing him to a cinder. It crashed into Mamemon
and Giromon, deleting them too. The ball hit the pock-marked ground, but instead of
causing another explosion, was absorbed into the earth. The ground rippled for a second,
then all the damage to it vanished and it was as good as new.
As
morning rose over the horizon, the group was recovering from last night's tremendous
battle. TK was talking with Davis over the D-Terminal.
That's
the second Spire knocked out. How goes things your way, Davis?
We've
tracked down the location of the Spire, but we ran into trouble from Mr. Donut-for-a-chest
again, joked Davis.
You
mean Skullsatamon is in New York? That's a pain- I wanted to give that demonic
digimon a one-way ticket to the Dark Ocean, complained TK.
No
chance! I'm going to teach him a lesshon about who makesh the jokesh around here!
Imperialdramon owesh him a Poshitron Lasher for our battle in Odaiba! insisted
Veemon.
Well,
the best of luck to you. Give him a Positron Laser for me too, Veemon!
I
don't want you to go, protested Catherine to Tai.
I'm
sorry, Catherine. Even with the main tower gone, there are still digimon around Paris and
in other places in the country we have to track down and defeat.
You
promise you'll come back? asked Catherine.
As
soon as this is over, I'll come back to Paris. I won't be long, replied
Tai.
Well,
see you soon, in that case.
Yup,
I'll be back soon! called Tai, as the two of them walked away.
Will
Tai and Catherine meet again someday? How are Davis and the other faring in America? And
what is Lady Devimon's plan? The answers to all these and more on the next Digimon:
Digital Monsters!
