Hey, the new digidestined aren't half bad but they can't replace the origanals! :)


The Titan Series Part 39


The dragon arose above Kari as she stared at her for only a moment before shouting out in excitement,
"You did it!" The dragon bowed it's head lightly and shot up into the sky. Above Kari, the girl
below, above Tai and above the clones, above the angels, fallen or not, above the enemy who did not
spot the dragon above.

"Tai," Koromon said not noticing the dragon or Kari, "If you really want, I could help fight." Tai
didn't answer and Koromon looked confused at Tai and the others who were looking over where Kari
was poking out of the forest. She smiled as she motioned her head up to MagnDramon who was hovering
over MetalPuppetmon trying to stay unnoticed. The Digidestined stared in awe at the huge fierce
looking dragon who had come from nothing more than a small cat.

Koromon didn't like being ignored and, still not noticing the dragon said,"Tai. Achem! Tai! TAI!"
He nudged his head on Tai who grabbed him and faced him towards MagnaDramon. "What?" Tai, never
taking his eyes off the dragon, pointed to MagnDramon, "Huh?" Koromon turned and looked at MagnaDramon
and his mouth fell open. "WOW! THAT'S ONE HELL OF A-" Tai put his hand over his mouth before MetalPuppetmon
heard him. "Oh yeah, right." Koromon whispered, "That's one hell of a digimon, isn't it?"

Tai laughed, "Yeah, it sure is. Let's just hope it can fight too."

Over at the battle field MagmAngemon was trying to keep his eyes off the enormous beast infront of him
and on his target. "Staff of Destiny!" He shot his arrow and it MetalPuppetmon dodged it and it
almost hit MagnaDramon. She glared at him but the angel couldn't look at her or MetalPuppetmon
might notice.

But thankfully he didn't, "I've had enough playing around with you," He said with a yawn, "Metal
Puppet terror sword BEEEEEAM!!!" This was an attack that no one had even heard of, but they weren't
going to find out. Before He could fire his beam MagnaDramon whacked him aside and his beam went off course
and hit the clones instead who shattered into a million pieces. "Hey! Who do you think you are?"
He said looking up at the one who stood in his way.

MagnaDramon ignored MetalPuppetmon and turned to MagmAngemon, "Go rest, I can take care of him."
MagmAngemon nodded and flew back to T.K.

"Grrr.. No one can take care of me!" MetalPuppetmon said alittle exostided from the last attack
which didn't even hit.

"Okay," Said MagnaDramon cooly, "Free shout."

MetalPuppetmon glared at her, "I don't need your help!"

"If you insist. Dragon Fire!" MagnaDramon sent out a huge fire blast and hit MetalPuppetmon causing
him to catch on fire.

"Waah!!" MetalPuppetmon yelled in shock and batted himself to take out the fire.

The digidestined laughed as the enemy seemed less of a threat.

"That's pathetic." Matt shook his head, "And that wouldn't be much of a victory."

"Yeah." Joe said with a sigh, "Too bad we can't defeat him like this."

"We can't?" Gomamon asked.

"Uh huh." Tai nodded, "We didn't come all this way for nothing. Let's see a REAL battle!"

"We didn't?"

"Yep."

"Oh nuts."

"Gomamon." Joe laughed.

"Do I have to?" Gomamon asked and Joe nodded. Gomamon frowned, "Oh fine. Marching Fishes!" The
fish lept out of the river behind them and sprayed water on MetalPuppetmon and dove back into the
water as quickly as they had appeared. "Happy now? Now we can all die."

"No we won't. MagnaDramon can take care of him."

"Hmph."

"Phtt." MetalPuppetmon spit out the water and looked over at the digidestined, "That wasn't funny
and I don't need your help!"

"See." Gomamon said under his breath.

He turned back to MagnaDramon, "Okay, no more fooling around! Metal Puppet Terror Sword Beeeam!"
He fired his attack and it his MagnaDramon right in the stomach. That took off a lot of MagnaDramon's
power and also a lot of MetalPuppetmon's energy. MagnaDramon fell the the ground and she
dedigivolved into Salomon. "See, you're not so tough."

"Are we doomed yet, Joe?"

"Of course not. It's just a minor setback."

"Yeah! MagnaDramon can beat anything!" Kari insisted. "Come on Salomon! Digivolve!"

"Shut up! It's useless anyways. And with her out of the way it will be much easier to destroy you
all. I think I'll start with...you!" He pointed to Kari, "That dragon of yours was too annoying
for me." He landed on the ground infront of them.

Tai went infront of Kari, "Hey! Back off!"

"Awe. Isn't that cute. But it's not as if you can stop me."

"Maybe not but I know you wouldn't hurt her or else you wouldn't have anyone to control."

"Hmmm..Good point. But I don't really need her after I destroy you. So stand aside."

"No! No one touches my little sister! If you want her you're going to have to go through me first!"

"If you insist."

"Tai." Kari said tugging on his shirt.

"Go!" He hissed but Kari didn't budge.

"Metal Puppet Sword!" MetalPuppetmon threw a sword at Tai but his aim was a little off and it hit
his leg instead.

"F*ck!" Tai screamed in pain and held his leg.

"Oh, well. You can't win all the time." MetalPuppetmon said, "Now out of my way. Puppet Hammer!"
He threw Tai and he hit the side of MetalPuppetmon's castle.

"Koromon digivolve to... Agumon!"

"Agumon warp digivolve to... WarGreymon!" WarGreymon started to attack MetalPuppetmon but he wasn't
doing that well. He was tired and even with full energy he wasn't that good against him.

"Tai!" Kari ran over to Tai who was lying against a the wall unconcious. "Tai! Wake up!" She said
shaking him.

"I'm up." He said sleepily.

"Are you okay?"

Tai looked up dazed and only really half awake, "Yeah. I think my leg fell asleep. Can you wake it
up before I miss the bus?" He said and conked out.

Kari smiled weakly, "Thanks, Tai."

"Terra Force!" MetalPuppetmon dodged the attack.

"Patamon, they need help."

"Sorry T.K, but we're too tired to digivolve."

"Metal Puppet Sword!" With one little sword WarGreymon fell and went all the way back to Koromon.
"Kari! I'm ready now."

"Hey! You can't hurt Kari!" T.K yelled.

"I'll be with you in amoment T.K." he said and threw T.K who smacked right into Matt.

"Leave him alone!" Matt ordered.

"You guys are no fun. I need to get some new toys. I can't kill anyone around here." He said
turning back to Kari who was still kneeling beside her brother. "Okay, ready to be destroyed?"

"I'm not afraid of you! You can't hurt me!" Kari said standing up. She didn't really believe it
but it sounded right.

"Really? But I can control you. It will be fun watching you kill your annoying brother."

"Huh? Wha-" But before Kari could say anything she was under MetalPuppetmon's control.

"Hmmm." Salamon openned her eyes slowly and looked in the distance and instantly knew what was going on but
she was too tired to do anything about it.

"Better?" MetalPuppetmon laughed. "You may proceed."

Kari looked down at Tai and helplessly pulled the sword out of his leg. Tai woke up from the pain
and looked up at Kari with the sword coming to his neck and was now fully awake, "Hey Kari! What
are you doing?!"

"Kari! Stop!" The others yelled.

"Stay!" MetalPuppetmon threw his mind on them aswell and they were under his control now too and
they froze.

Kari pressed the sword against Tai's neck, "Sorry Tai."

"Try. He can't control you!" He said not able to move.

Kari closed her eyes and consuntrated. She could feel herself coming back but only a bit. She was
coming in and out of control and the sword shook as she tried fought to bring it away.

"Wow! Carefull where you point that thing."

'I can do this. Just consuntrate.' Kari thought.

"Kill him already!" MetalPuppetmon said impationtly.

'It's no use. I can't control this.' Kari closed her eyes and relaxed.

"Did you gain control? Is that why the sword stopped wobbling?" Tai said hopefully but the sword
presses against his neck and Tai tried to get himself even closer to the wall, "Would that be a no?"

"Sorry." Kari said helplessly.

"Salamon warp digivolve to... MagnaDramon!" MagnaDramon tried to get up but couldn't so she just
tried to attack. "Heaven's Hell Blast!"

"What the-" MetalPuppetmon turned to the the direction of the blast but before he could react he
was blown to nothingness and Kari and the others gained control. Kari fell to the ground and on the way down
sliced Tai's arm.

"Ow! This isn't my day." Tai sighed.

MagnaDramon dedigivolved to Nyaromon and floated over to where everyone else was.

"Yeah Nyaromon! That was good timing!" kari said hugging the little digimon.

"Was that close enough for you Tai?" Gomamon asked as him and the other ran over to Tai, Kari and
Nyaromon.

"Yeah. I think that was pretty good. But it could have been better."

"What do you mean? You were almost killed and that wasn't scary enough for you?"

"Nah, I had everything undercontrol."

"Right." Matt said sarcastically.

"Can we go now?" Joe asked.

"Sure. Can you walk Tai."

"Ofcourse." He tried to get up but fell, "maybe not."

"Fine, we can stay tonight then."

"Actually, I should go." Joe said.

"Why?"

"You guys don't really need me around here but the others do. There's only three of them and five
of us. Besides, MetalPuppetmon is defeated so you're okay. I'll meet up with you guys later with
the others."

"Okay. Then I guess we'll see you later."

"Yeah." Joe said and started walking, "Come on Gomamon."

"I'm coming. Can't I ever just rest?"
