Defender of the Destined
Chapter 8
Enemy Revealed
Sorry for not writing in so long, but I graduated from High School and well it was a pretty hectic month
and all. So the next chapter should be
out soon, I hope but you never know.
I would like to dedicate this chapter to all those who suffered in New
York this past month, and who are still suffering due to what happened.
I do not own Digimon or any of its rights.
Things had not been going well for the Destined, all the Digimon had Digivolved to their highest level and were easily being crushed. This Digimon, who was calling himself Diablomon, was making seem too easy to destroy them. The destined Mega's had already taken a few direct hits, and the ultimates had dedigivolved. Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon were now trying to protect all of the destined. Gargoylewomon, who was Katie's champion was also still able to provide minimal protection against this super strong evil.
"You destined have no
chance to defeat me! I have the power
of ten Mega's. Not even the powerful
Omnimon could have defeated me, and as you can see, I have already defeated the
great Imperial Dramon." Diablomon
shouted as he hit the two destined megas and forced them to dedigivolve. "Goodbye you pathetic protectors of the Digital
world." As he raised his hand to
destroy them, he heard the roar of giant digimon. He looked up and saw a large white dragon type of Digimon
changing into a humanoid form with a sword about to cut him in half. Startled, Diablomon stepped aside as the
large creature flew past where he had been standing.
"I will not allow you
to harm the Destined!" The new Digimon
said as it turned to face the evil Digimon that had been attacking the kids.
"And who do you think
you are to make such a statement to me?"
"I am Melifmon,
Defender of the Destined, and your worst nightmare. So I suggest you leave while you still can." Melifmon stated with no emotion in his
voice.
Diablomon didn't take
his threat seriously, and attacked the new Digimon. Melifmon blocked the attack that forced him back. Two skid marks were left showing how much
force had been used. He then threw
another attack that hit Melifmon. With
a sly smirk he turned his attention back to the Digidestined, not seeing the
Melifmon using his flight engines to keep from going any further. He saw the Digidestined looking past him to
see this Digimon ready to attack him. "What! Impossible, no one could
have survived that attack. Oh well,
looks like I'll have to finish you off the old fashioned way." Diablomon shouted as he ran towards
Melifmon. To his surprise, Melifmon
proved to be an excellent fighter. He
seemed not to be having any difficulty fighting Diablomon hand to hand.
"Izzy, who is
that?" Tai questioned.
"Dee, tell me you know
who that is."
"Actually, I do, his name is
Melifmon, he is an armoured Digivolved Digimon with the power of several
Megas. His Dragon's Fire, Dragon's
Sphere and Dragon's Sword attacks can destroy practically anything. But he shouldn't even be here, he existed
even before the original destined, by that I mean Tai's group, and even then,
he was thought to only be a legend." The Digital computer informed.
"You are quite the
fighter, but you will not survive my HELL'S FIRE!" Diablomon shouted as the intense heat flame came towards
Melifmon.
"DRAGON'S SHIELD! DRAGON'S SWORD! Melifmon countered pointing his sword as rings of fire came from
the blade, but they miss. Melifmon was
getting annoyed, so he resorted to the old fashioned fighting form once
again. He knew that Diablomon was too
fast for his attacks, so he would have to try and slow him down first. He charged Diablomon with his sword and
started to fight him intensely.
The other destined
were watching with interest and disbelief that they were receiving help for
once. Cody then remembered something
from his childhood, he had seen someone fight like this before, he just
couldn't remember who. Then it hit him,
it was one of the students his grandfather use to teach…
"Guy's, this is going
to sound strange, but I've seen a fighter like this before." Cody stated in his serious tone.
"You know, I think
your right. I think I've seen this
digimon fight before, well not the Digimon, but a person who fought like the
Digimon." Tai said.
"Ya, he fights like a
student my grandfather use to teach, what was his name, John? No, no, it was, it was…"
"It was Shawn!" Kari shouted. She thought she knew Cody from somewhere before. "Shawn use to take Kendo at your
grandfather's school. But how could
this Digimon fight like Shawn?"
"Wait, didn't this
Digimon say he was the Defender of the Destined? That's exactly what Shawn's crest is the Defender." Izzy pondered, completely oblivious to the
fight that was about to end.
"DRAGON'S
SPHERE!" Melifmon shouted as the purple
sphere of pure energy hit and crushed his opponent.
"You may have defeated
me, but I am the weakest of my forces, you won't be so lucky next time." He laughed as he turned to nothingness.
Melifmon heard what
Izzy had said about the Defender and turned to talk to the kids. "Izzy, you're right about the crest and the
title I have, and now I'll show you why." The chest cavity hissed as it began to open and part of the head lifted
to reveal a human form inside.
"Shawn!" All the destined exclaimed including Davis.
"I was wondering when
you were going to show up." Mimi said.
"I thought I would
take care of the enemy before I introduced my armoured Digimon, Melifmon." The Digimon changed into a more familiar and
smaller Digimon, Gargoylemon.
"So Shawn, tell us
what happened." Kari shouted as she
crushed him with a huge hug. She then
let go and smacked him in the arm, "you have a lot of explaining to do mister."
All the Destined were
now sitting down listening to Shawn's story.
"Well after I left
you, Gennai had told me were I had to go for my test." They were all watching him with
interest. "Now before I go any further,
I'm going to ask not to be interrupted okay?" Everyone nodded in agreement. "Good, now as I was saying…"
"Defender, you need to
go East for a day or so, that's were you'll find your test." Gennai had just told him. "I will not be able to help you, this is a
test to prove yourself as the Defender."
"But Gennai, how come
the others don't need to do this sort of test?"
"Because, when they
defeated Devimon, and the others, they proved themselves time and again,
therefore it is not needed. Since you
were not around for those battles, you must take a test that proves you are
worthy of being the Defender." Gennai
explained.
"And if I fail?"
"You become deleted."
"Shawn, I think we
should stop and eat something." Gargoylemon said. They had been
walking since they had woken up and it was now reaching late afternoon.
"Uh, what? Sorry, did you say something?"
"Yes, I said we should
stop, you haven't eaten all day and neither have I. If it comes to a fight, I won't be able to do anything."
"Oh, in that case, we
should take a rest then." Shawn walked
over to a nearby stone and sat down. What Gennai had said had really gotten to him. He knew that part of the test was to make his crest glow, but he
knew that it wouldn't be as simple as that.
About an hour had gone
by and Shawn and Gargoylemon were just about to continue when they heard a
noise. Shawn went over to the bushes to
investigate what it was, a tiny Numamon jumped out and scared him as he fell to
the forest floor. He was expecting to
hear the laugh of Gargoylemon, but instead heard the bone chilling laugh of
evil.
"Hello Defender, I've
been expecting you." The voice of the
evil laughter said. "I just wanted you
to see the face of the being that is going to destroy you." The evil Digimon said as it leapt at Shawn
who jumped out of the way barely in time.
"Oh no you don't! Not while I'm around." Gargoylemon shouted as he jumped in with his
sword trying to take the brute force of the attack. 'I have to get Shawn out of the way or he could get hurt' he
thought as he continued to take the abuse of the evil Digimon.
Shawn was trying to
get away from the battle so that Gargoylemon could start to attack when he
heard the next thing the evil Digimon said. "After I destroy you those other children will be nothing." It laughed as it was about to attack
again. Shawn had stopped dead in his
tracks. If this evil wanted to try and
destroy him he could deal with that, but hearing him talk about the other kids
was crossing a dangerous line with him. He turned to face the evil Digimon.
"You can have them
when I'm cold and dead in the ground." He said slowly.
"Well what a
statement! What the hell do you think
I'm going to do with you? Let you
live? Of course over your dead body!" He laughed again at what Shawn had
said. He was then startled at what
happened next. Shawn had started to run
towards him with his relic sword. The
evil Digimon tried to counter, but was stopped by Gargoylemon. Shawn hit him and caused him much pain. He screamed as Shawn landed behind him and
turned to strike again. "That was a
lucky shot, one that you won't be able to duplicate." He tossed Gargoylemon aside like a flimsy doll and lunged for
Shawn. He stopped when he saw a bright
flash of light behind him. He also
noticed that a necklace around Shawn's neck had also began to glow. He turned and looked at the new cyborg that
was standing right behind him. The evil
winced at the sight of the new Digimon, something told him that he was mere
seconds from destruction. "Who-who are
you?"
"I am
Metalgargoylemon, my Giga-Wing attack can incinerate anything it touches. Oh and I have the power of a Mega level
Digimon." He informed just as he
launched his attack.
A few hours had passed
and Goyomon was now just starting to feel better from the fight. "You know Shawn, I'm going to have to take
it easy from now on in those fights, I used up far to much power." Goyomon noticed Shawn wasn't paying any
attention. "Shawn what's the matter?"
"What? Oh I was just thinking about you Digivolving
to Ultimate, that's all."
"Oh really?"
"Yes, it seems that
you can already Digivolve to Ultimate with the crest, so I was thinking what
would cause you to go Mega?"
"Enough
motivation. CLOWN TRICK!" A Digimon shouted as the ground in front of
them exploded. "Allow me to introduce
myself, I am the resurrected Piedmon, the leader of the Dark Masters. There's no need to introduce my fellow
actors, we will destroy you." He said
with an evil laugh. "Just so you know,
we watched you in your last battle, and an Ultimate with the power of a Mega is
impressive, but not impressive enough. Since you're so low on energy, this will make this so much easier. Oh, and don't worry, I'll make certain that
you're not cold and dead so you can watch the others suffer your fate." He started to laugh again as the other Dark
Masters followed his lead.
Shawn began to get
angry, he had so much hatred towards this being that only wanted to cause pain
and suffering. Then he snapped. "You will never get your slimy hands on them
you untalented court jester." Piedmon
stopped laughing and a look of pure disgust began to appear on his face.
"What did you just
call me?"
"You heard me, I will
not allow you to harm them, as the Defender I swear that I will not allow you
to harm them. For I am their Defender,
the one who protects them from all danger." Just as Shawn finished, His sword began to glow.
Non of the Dark Masters
liked what was happening, they then saw what was happening, the tiny Rookie was
warp Digivolving.
Goyomon Warp Digivolve to
------------ Wargargoylemon.
"Another Wargreymon, how boring." Piedmon said.
"I am not Wargreymon, I am
Wargargoylemon, the war partner Digimon of Wargreymon. My Terra Wing can stop anything that comes
towards me." The new Mega said. He still looked like his former self, but
now he had the same armour as Wargreymon did. "I could easily defeat you Piedmon so why don't we make this
interesting, shall we?"
"You're on, although I must
warn you, we are now stronger then the last time we met those pathetic
Digidestined."
"If they're so pathetic, why
could they defeat you so easily as they did Apocilamon?"
"They were merely lucky, it
won't happen again."
"Oh really? Terra Wing." The attack hit Puppetmon who vaporised immediately. "Mind passing that one by me again?" Seeing how strong this new Mega was, Piedmon
came up with the best plan he ever thought of.
"RETREAT!" He shouted as another Terra Wing flew past
him and hit Metalseadramon. He didn't
care that his new master might destroy him for this, but it would give them the
upper hand knowing about this new Mega form, he just hoped that he could get
away with the information as he saw Machinedramon explode into Digital dust.
Shawn saw the last of the
Dark Masters get away just as another explosion rocked the ground. Shawn sighed in relief as he saw Wargargoylemon
dedigivolve into Garmon, the in-training form of Goyomon.
"So wait a minute, are you
telling me that Wargreymon has a fighting partner now?" Tai asked, interrupting Shawn's story.
"Yes Tai, we do have partner
fighting Digimon. And I thought I said
no interruptions."
"Sorry Shawn." Tai apologized.
"Tai, that's not what's
important, Shawn just said the Dark Masters had returned." Kari said with a shutter.
"So what happened
next?" Izzy asked with interest.
"Well…"
Shawn and Goyomon had started
travelling again after taking a bit of a rest from the battle with the reborn
Dark Masters. A few hours later, they
arrived at the mouth of a cave with the Crest of the Defender engraved on its
top. They went inside of the cave to
explore and see what they could find. At the back of the cave, Shawn found a small pillar with an armoured
Digi-egg on it. The egg looked like a
small human like creature with the back being rounded with what looked like a
cape. It was just sitting there and
Shawn started to walk towards it. Shawn
then heard a voice from out of nowhere.
"Well done Defender, you
have passed your final test." The
mysterious voice said.
"Um, thank you, but how do
you know I have already passed the test?" Shawn inquired?
"Because you made your
sword's crest glow. If you had not done
that, you would not be talking to me right now." The voice explained. It
almost seemed familiar.
"Say, just who exactly are
you?"
"I'm sorry I can not tell
you that, but you should be able to figure that out. Now, concerning this Digi-egg. It is the Digi-egg of the Defender. Its power has gone untapped since the beginning of the digital world. This is your last test, if you can remove
this egg, those who are above me will trust your decisions in regards to the
Destined." The voice informed.
"And what if I don't?"
"You don't want to know what
will happen to you."
"Oh." Shawn said as he placed both hands on the
egg, he was standing firmly on the ground ready to use all his strength to pull
this egg free if he had to. He began to
pull up on the egg and met some resistance, so he started to pull harder. Without any warning, the egg pulled away
from the pillar and Shawn fell backwards onto the ground.
"Good, now that you have
proven yourself as the Defender, you must be told that the Destined have run
into a small problem…" The voice went on explaining the situation to
Shawn. "You must leave now to arrive in
time to save them from this evil." Shawn's expression went from concern to fear.
"If that devil touches any
of them, I'm going to make wish he hadn't, for he will have to answer to the
Defender." Shawn said to no one in
particular. Every time he left the
destined for even a little bit, someone always attacked them. 'So now all I have to do is activate this
armour egg.' He thought to
himself. Then he remembered the stories
of the other kids and he knew what he had to do. "Digi-armour energize." He said as nothing happened. "What a time not to work." He
said in frustration. Then it hit him,
maybe it would activate at a higher level. Goyomon, Digivolve!"
Goyomon Digivolve to
---------------- Gargoylemon.
"Try again Shawn."
"All right, Digi armour
energize."
Gargoylemon armour Digivolve
to -------------- Melifmon, Defender of the Destined.
