Last Time: We witnessed a huge battle between the evil Digimon and the DigiDestined Digimon. Savagemon and Psychomon were quickly dispatched by MagnaAngemon and an unexpected ally known as Beelzebumon. The guardians managed to free Sakura and Tori, but Sakura lost consciousness along the way. Myotismon was about to be destroyed by Angewomon, but Sinestromon took the blow and used his last ounce of strength to send his own power to Myotismon. With that short burst of power, Myotismon Digivolved into VenomMyotismon. And now…we're ready for the final battle.
Keeping Secrets: Part 10
Davis thought it was all ending. It looked like Angewomon would take out Myotismon for good, but it didn't happen. Instead, the end result was Myotismon Digivolving into something he had never seen before.
Davis was in shock. "What is THAT?"
"That's VenomMyotismon," Kari answered grimly. "A Mega. And a nightmare that hasn't been seen in ten years."
"This isn't exactly what I had in mind," VenomMyotismon admitted. "I was hoping to be able to Digivolve into MaloMyotismon, but this'll do just fine. An oldie, but a goodie. I should easily be able to dispose of you all in this form!"
"That's where you're wrong!" Angewomon said vehemently. "We've beaten you in that form before and, in case you haven't noticed, the odds aren't in your favor, VenomMyotismon!"
"We'll see!" VenomMyotismon challenged. "Once I defeat all of you, I WILL find a way into the real world! And I shall take over!"
As he said that, VenomMyotismon pointed at them…but as he did, a huge flame shot out and hit the ground in front of the DigiDestined. Everyone was in shock…including VenomMyotismon.
"He…wasn't able to do THAT before," TK said apprehensively.
"Hey…that's weird," VenomMyotismon muttered. "I didn't know I could do that."
ExVeemon stepped up and faced off with VenomMyotismon. "Oh yeah? Well I don't care WHAT tricks you have up your sleeve. We'll still wipe the floor with you! Vee Laser!"
ExVeemon attacked with his Vee Laser, but despite a direct hit, VenomMyotismon wasn't affected in the least. VenomMyotismon tried to threateningly point at the champion Digimon, but as he did, a huge ray shot out and froze ExVeemon in a block of ice. He was left frozen solid.
Davis gasped. "ExVeemon!"
VenomMyotismon looked shocked again. "Hey…that's a new one."
Angewomon took aim again. "Celestial Arrow!"
The Celestial Arrow headed straight for the enormous VenomMyotismon…but amazingly, a barrier formed around him in the shape of what looked to be some kind of crest.
"The cards!" Eriol exclaimed. "Fiery…Freeze…SHIELD! He has the power of the Sakura Cards!"
"Hey, I like this!" VenomMyotismon grinned evilly. "I don't even NEED my old attacks!" He aimed for Angewomon. "Take this!"
Angewomon stood her ground, expecting a fierce attack. But instead, VenomMyotismon only shot out…flower petals…much to everyone's surprise…including his own.
"Hey! I don't want FLOWERS!" VenomMyotismon shouted. "I want something DESTRUCTIVE!"
"HEY!" a voice shouted out in the distance.
Everyone looked over to see the Mega Digimon known as Beelzebumon was methodically walking up to the scene. And he had his guns locked and loaded.
"You want destructive? Get a load of these! Double Impact!"
Beelzebumon opened fire on VenomMyotismon with repeated shots. But with the aid of Shield, the shots didn't make contact with the evil Mega at all. But Beelzebumon didn't look like he was about to quit anytime soon, so VenomMyotismon raised his hand again. This time, some powder shot out from his huge fingertip. When it sprinkled over Beelzebumon…he fell over and fell asleep.
"What happened to him?" Kari asked.
"The power of the Sleep Card," Eriol answered.
VenomMyotismon turned around and chuckled. "So…any other takers?"
"Yeah, me!" Angewomon challenged again. "Celestial Arrow!"
VenomMyotismon sidestepped the attack and pointed his finger again. This time bolts of lightning shot out and nailed Angewomon. The result left the ultimate devolving back into her rookie form, Salamon.
"Oh no!" Kari groaned.
Kari quickly rushed forward and bravely risked everything to pick up Salamon. Davis and TK tried to stop her since they knew what would happen and just as they feared, VenomMyotismon tried to fire at Kari. But when he pointed his finger…all he got was bubbles.
"Just my luck!" the evil one growled. "I HAD to get something HARMLESS!"
Kari managed to bring back Salamon in her arms. But with Salamon in her rookie form and ExVeemon on ice, that meant it was all up to…
…MagnaAngemon.
Eriol knew what was going on, so he decided to call a quick huddle. He called Tori (who brought Sakura over), Madison, Keroberos, Yue, Ruby Moon, and Spinner Sun over. They all huddled up and Eriol began to explain the situation.
"I think I know what's happening. He has the power of the cards and he can harness their power. But it looks like he can't control WHICH card's power he's using."
"That's a good thing," Keroberos said. "Imagine what this maniac could do if he actually KNEW what he was doing! If he could actually CONTROL cards like Fiery, Earth, and even TIME, then there would be no hope."
"Eriol…I don't know much about Digimon, but I don't think they're winning," Madison said grimly. "What can we do?"
"There is ONE thing we can do," Eriol answered. He looked over at the fallen Sakura. "We HAVE to wake up Sakura! If she can call on her wand, then I can use my magic to give it power which she can use to call the power VenomMyotismon stole BACK to the Sakura Cards."
"So who's waking her up?" Spinner Sun asked.
"You leave that to me!" Tori replied. "You guys try to give that…big…angel guy a hand."
The four guardians headed out to face off with VenomMyotismon while Tori did the only thing he could do. He tried shaking his sister awake. Madison even tried to help shake Sakura, too. Honestly, it was probably the only idea the two had. Eriol certainly couldn't think of anything better.
Davis tried pounding the ice block with his fists, but it didn't help. All it did was leave his fists sore. ExVeemon was stuck and there was no escaping. To make matters worse, it didn't look like Salamon would Digivolve back into Gatomon or Angewomon anytime soon. It was all down to MagnaAngemon now.
MagnaAngemon went on the offensive. "Gate of…!"
VenomMyotismon pointed his finger again and a large chunk of earth rose out of the sand, knocking MagnaAngemon down. While MagnaAngemon tried to shake the cobwebs, VenomMyotismon rushed forward.
"Nightmare Claw!"
MagnaAngemon was struck with the Nightmare Claw attack and fell to the ground. TK, Kari, and Davis immediately rushed to the big angel's side. VenomMyotismon tried to advance on the DigiDestined, but he was met with several ice crystals that hit him in the back.
It was the guardians. Yue and Ruby Moon were shooting crystals at VenomMyotismon. Keroberos shot out his flame and Spinner Sun unleashed his powerful red beam. But none of it was even making VenomMyotismon flinch. All it did was turn his attention away from the DigiDestined and MagnaAngemon.
And that would give the DigiDestined time to revive the big angel.
Eriol looked on as the guardians weren't faring too well. VenomMyotismon wasn't being fazed at all by their attacks and that meant time was running short. Both Tori and Madison continued to try and shake Sakura awake. Finally, Madison did the most desperate thing she could possibly do.
She slapped Sakura across the face.
Sakura started to stir. "What happened?" She opened her eyes and looked up at her brother. "Tori?" And then she noticed her friends. "Madison! Eriol!"
"She's awake!" Tori exclaimed. He tried to place his sister on her feet. "Come on, squirt! Up and at 'em!"
Sakura moaned softly. "What's going on?"
"Sakura, you have to get your wand!" Eriol explained. "Our lives depend on it! LOOK!"
Sakura turned her head to the battle scene and her eyes widened. "HOE!"
"This can all end, Sakura," Eriol continued. "But we need the wand!"
Sakura slowly reached into her pocket and pulled out her key. Eriol crossed his fingers. He had to be ready, also. Because he would also play a huge part in this.
He could only hope the guardians could keep VenomMyotismon at bay for a little longer.
The guardians weren't faring very well against VenomMyotismon. And MagnaAngemon was slow to get up. Davis kept trying to shake the big guy awake. With ExVeemon and Angewomon both taken out of the fight, he was their only hope.
TK held his head against the big angel's arm. "Come on, MagnaAngemon! Don't give up! I know you can beat him! You just have to get back up! Both worlds are depending on you! I KNOW you can beat VenomMyotismon!"
MagnaAngemon started to get to his feet, but suddenly the DigiDestined noticed that TK's Crest of Hope began to react AGAIN. This time, it was with a stronger white light. And not only was MagnaAngemon rejuvenated, but he also began…
**MagnaAngemon…Digivolve to…Seraphimon!**
The DigiDestined all gasped. Davis had never seen anything like THIS Digimon before, but from the look on TK and Kari's faces, it looked like they were also just seeing this mighty hero for the first time.
"MagnaAngemon Digivolved…" Kari gasped.
MagnaAngemon HAD Digivolved. In his place was a large warrior-like angel. He was covered in metallic armor and a metal helmet. There were eight golden wings on his back. The massive presence of this Mega Digimon was awe-inspiring. This was truly the biggest of the angel Digimon.
"Seraphimon…" TK whispered in amazement.
Seraphimon slowly rose to his feet and started walking towards the raging VenomMyotismon. He held his arm up and the guardians all ceased their fighting. It was down to a one-on-one fight…between good and evil.
"Someone ELSE for me to dispatch?" VenomMyotismon mocked. "I'll take you out easily with my new powers. I'll…AAAAAHHHHH!!!"
A bright blue light hit VenomMyotismon in the back…and out of his chest…a bright pink light came out. Davis looked over to see that Eriol was shooting the blue light out of a large staff. And the pink light was going over to a wand…being held up…by an auburn-haired young girl. Davis realized that it had to be that Sakura girl.
"Those powers do not belong to you!" Eriol shouted. "And it's time you gave them back to their rightful owner!"
"NOOOO!!!" VenomMyotismon boomed. "Losing…power. Feeling…weaker…"
After an agonizingly long few minutes, the light faded and Sakura stood tall. She looked to be stronger than ever and VenomMyotismon could hardly move. And that was the cue for Seraphimon to finish the job.
"Seven Heavens!"
Seraphimon formed seven balls of light…and shot them all at VenomMyotismon. There was no way the evil villain could withstand such an awesome attack. With a final scream, VenomMyotismon pixilated away, defeated and deleted. It was all over.
TK smiled. "No backup plan this time for Myotismon!"
Davis was a little more…boisterous with his celebration. "YES! WE BEAT HIM…AGAIN! I KNEW HE DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE!" That's when he realized something. "EXVEEMON!"
Davis ran over to ExVeemon, who was still frozen solid. Again, he began pounding the ice with his fists, but it was all in vain. ExVeemon was nothing more than a solid block of ice. That's when Davis felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see that Sakura girl smiling at him.
"I can get him out," she offered gently.
Davis was taken aback when he looked into those cheerful emerald green eyes. He got up and took a few steps back and cleared the way for Sakura as she took out a big card and threw it up in the air.
"Fiery Card! Thaw out that block of ice! Fiery Card! Release and dispel!"
Davis looked on as a red spirit came out and headed for the block of ice that was holding ExVeemon. The ice was engulfed in flames and the ice all melted. Sakura recalled the card as the ice finished melting…and ExVeemon shook off the cobwebs.
"I always knew I was cool, but I didn't think I'd be THAT cool," the champion Digimon said.
Davis smiled and shook his head. "Bad…"
Sakura scratched the back of her head sheepishly. "So…does anyone want to tell me what this was all about? And does anyone want to tell me…who THESE PEOPLE are?"
Davis suddenly realized that he and the other DigiDestined didn't exactly run with her pack. They were unfamiliar to her and that meant, once again, introductions were in order.
Eriol shrugged. "We're not getting into THIS again. Can it wait until we get back to Reedington? This place is pretty dark, even for me."
Sakura closed her eyes. "I've seen enough of this place to last me a lifetime."
"You're not the only one," Kari said. "Let's go!"
Eriol held up his staff. "Digivices?"
Davis, TK, and Kari all held up their Digivices as ExVeemon and Seraphimon devolved. ExVeemon became DemiVeemon once again, but the fight had taken A LOT out of Seraphimon. He devolved all the way back to his baby form, Poyomon. Eriol used his magic to empower the Digivices once again and the portal opened back to the clock tower in Reedington.
Eriol and Madison led Tori and Sakura back in. The guardians took one more look back and then followed suit. And now was the time for the DigiDestined to step in.
Kari was ready to go back home. She had seen enough of the Dark Ocean and she never wanted to see it again. But as she stepped forward, she began to hear those voices again. The voices of the shadows.
"Don't leave us again. Stay…and be our queen!"
Kari turned around to see shadowy creatures slowly approaching them. She knew that all she had to do was go back through the portal and she would be away from them. But she was paralyzed in fear. She couldn't move. And TK and Davis, who saw the shadows heading their way, were standing in front of Kari, ready to fight for her. But they would be the only ones, because the Digimon had already devolved.
But before the shadows could come any closer…
"Double Impact!"
Kari looked over to see that Beelzebumon had woken up and he wasn't happy. He aimed his guns and started firing away on the shadows, sending them scattering away. Kari was ready to thank him…until he aimed the guns at her, TK, and Davis.
"You know, I came to this place for a little peace and quiet!" Beelzebumon yelled indignantly. "A couple of years ago, I saw this Dark Ocean, with great scenery and TOTAL SILENCE! There never used to be any visitors until just now! And I almost forgot just how much I hate EVERYBODY! So I'll make you humans a deal. If you get out right now…I won't BLAST YOU!"
TK sweatdropped. "Ok, ok, we're leaving."
"Sheesh, you don't have to tell us twice," Davis added. "Take a chill pill, big guy."
"But let me just say thank…" Kari began…before Beelzebumon fired a warning shot in the air. "OK! WE'RE LEAVING ALREADY!"
Before Beelzebumon could get any angrier, the DigiDestined took their Digimon and ran through the portal.
Finally, they were heading home.
