5. Compassionate Power- Part 4

Compassionate Power- Part 4


A/N: Whee, my writing ability hath finally returned from a long vacation! Here's part 4!



"All right, Digidestined." Jijimon sat down in a rocking chair. He thought a moment before speaking. "ChaosDramon... Well, I know a good deal about that one, yes indeed..."

"If I recall correctly, ChaosDramon digivolves from a Digimon named FearDramon. However, FearDramon is not a normal Digimon, in the way that it does come directly from one particular Digimon." He paused for a moment, then started talking again. "Long ago, a Digimon named Parasimon came to this village. He was a frail Digimon of the virus type, and had come here seeking a place to rest before going out into the world again. During the time while he was here, another Digimon, a strong vaccine-type named Dronimon, also arrived. He wasn't very smart, but he offered to work in order to stay in the village. I told him that he was welcome, and that he didn't have to work, but he insisted."

"As Parasimon grew stronger, he noticed Dronimon and the way he used his strength to help the other Digimon in the village. He attempted to copy Dronimon's feats, but was too weak, and failed. He soon became jealous of Dronimon's strength, and a plan formed within the depths of his mind."

"One night, as I was teaching some young Digimon about the shrine, Thiefmon, then Tommon, ran in and yelled that something was happening to Dronimon. He said that it appeared that something was trying to control him, and he was smashing things with his great strength. Unfortunately, he was gone by the time I got there."

"It appeared that Parasimon, in his thirst for power, had attempted to combine with Dronimon in order to take his strength and add it to his own. However, since rookie-level Digimon don't usually combine, and because Dronimon wasn't exactly in agreement with Parasimon, they only half-combined, so that it ended up that Parasimon ruled the brain of Dronimon, gaining his strength, and becoming FearDramon."

Iori thought for a second. "So, ChaosDramon is actually a combination of Vaccine and Virus type Digimon..."

Jijimon nodded. "Correct. The conflicting forces within ChaosDramon's body are what give him all his power."

Daisuke scratched his head. "So, how exactly are we supposed to defeat him, if we still can't reach the ultimate level?"

Jijimon stroked his chin. "Hmm... Well, there might be a way..."

"What?"

"Well, I've never actually seen ChaosDramon. He might still be only half-combined with Dronimon. If you manage to destroy the part of him that's evil, you may be able to free Dronimon's mind."

Takeru shrugged. "Well, it's worth a shot!"

Saiai nodded in agreement. "Hai, let's go for it!"

Miyako grinned. "It's a nice change from not knowing the enemy's weakness, ne, Hikari?"

Hikari grinned back. "Hai!"

Daisuke, attempting to be the leader again, threw his fist into the air. "All right then, let's go for it!"

"Hai!" The Digidestined and their Digimon left the hut. Inside, Jijimon stroked his chin again.

"I hope they know what they're getting into..."


Outside the hut, Saiai stopped to talk with Tommon. "So, what did Jijimon talk to you about?"

"Well, he told me about why I'm weak..."

"Why's that?"

"Well, he said it was because I-"

Screech!

"What was that?!" Daisuke and the others ran toward the noise.

"Proportion Distortion!" Conceptmon turned a group of Palmon into statues, then smashed them with one of his arms. "Well, who's next?" He spotted Saiai. "Ah, Saiai! So good to see you again! I'm afraid I got rather impatient, so I decided to come to this village and destroy you NOW!"

Saiai glared back at the horribly deformed Digimon. "Bring it on!"

"V-mon, digivolve to- XV-mon!"

"Armadillomon, digivolve to- Ankylomon!"

"Hawkmon, digivolve to- Aquillamon!"

"Patamon, digivolve to- Angemon!"

"Tailmon, Armour-Digivolve to- Nefertimon, the Angel of Light!"

"Tommon, Armour-Digivolve to- Shogunmon, the Katana of Compassion!"

Conceptmon sneered at the Champion-level Digimon; at least, it looked like he was trying to sneer. "Please! I want a challenge! Oh well, I'm afraid this will have to do." He gathered energy in one of his arms. "Insanity Shocker!"

His arm flailed out and struck all the Digimon. Everyone except Shogunmon and Nefertimon reverted back to rookie form.

"Eh?" Conceptmon held a look of surprise on his face, which quickly changed back to his usual sneer. "Well, I suppose your armour will protect you from some attacks... but not from this! Proportion Distortion!"

"Armored Shell!" Conceptmon's attack glanced off the shield created by Shogunmon.

"Eh, what? You're supposed to be a Post-Modern sculpture!" Conceptmon began looking worried.

Shogunmon drew his sword. "You can't defeat us that easily, Conceptmon! Katana Cannon!"

Nefertimon joined in with her attack. "Rosetta Stone!"

"Ugh!" Conceptmon was knocked back twice by the attacks. "T-this battle isn't over yet!"


"Yes it is."


A black shadow suddenly appeared behind Conceptmon, who turned and quickly bowed. "M-master ChaosDramon!"

"You weakling. You could not even defeat two Armour-level Digimon!"

"B-but Master-"

"Begone!"

"AAAAH!" Conceptmon's body was enveloped in black flame and vanished. The shadow directed itself toward the Digidestined. "So, Digidestined, you managed to defeat my creations... well done!" The shadow seemed to laugh silently. "For your efforts, you shall be allowed to finally see your enemy face to face!" The shadow lifted. "I am ChaosDramon!"

A huge, black scaled dragon's head was the first part of Chaosdramon's body to be revealed. This head was set on a huge, pale, muscular body, which two black eyes glared out of near the top. In the center of the body was a large, triangular mouth, grinning with huge, curved teeth. One huge arm of the body ended in a large ball and chain; the other, in a huge, gleaming axe. Two black wings sprang from Chaosdramon's back, and the body ended in a mass of gigantic tentacles. The dragon's red eyes seemed to burn as it looked at the Digidestined.

"So, you are the ones, chosen to save this world... Let us see who is truly the strongest!"

Takeru stepped forward. "Alright, guys, we're gonna have to use all our strength here! Ready?"

Iori nodded. "Let's go for it!"

Daisuke grinned. "This dragon's toast!"

Miyako glared at ChaosDramon. "You can't try to destroy the Digiworld and expect to get away with it!"

Saiai agreed. "Hai!"

Hikari looked towards V-mon, Armadillomon, Hawkmon, and Patamon. "All right, you guys, Digivolve!"

"Right!"

"V-mon, Digivolve to- XV-mon!"

"Armadillomon, Digivolve to- Ankylomon!"

"Hawkmon, Digivolve to- Aquillamon!"

"Patamon, Digivolve to- Angemon!"

ChaosDramon laughed. "Finally! I shall show you my power! Flames of Chaos!" The dragon part of ChaosDramon reared back and launched several black flames at the Digimon.

"Watch out!" Miyako cried!

"Agh!" XV-mon, Aquillamon, and Nefertimon were downed by the attacks. Ankylomon charged up to ChaosDramon. "Tail Hammer!"

"Ha!" ChaosDramon knocked Ankylomon away with a blow from his ball and chain. Angemon flew up to him.

"Hand of Fate!"

"Flames of Chaos!"

Angemon's attack was absorbed by the black flames and was downed by the attack.

"No! Angemon!"

Shogunmon kept his distance from ChaosDramon. "You won't best us this easily! Katana Cannon!"

The huge mouth simply ate the beam of green light. ChaosDramon laughed again. "Ah, it's been a while since I've had a battle where my opponents stood any chance at all! Ah, Shogunmon, I truly am glad you are the last one standing!"

The huge shogun blinked. "What are you talking about?"

"As you know, your `partner' is one of the biggest threats to me, and because you're his Digimon, I have a special surprise for you!" The mouth in the center of ChaosDramon's body suddenly opened wide. "Digital Dimensional Tear!"

The vortex created by ChaosDramon pulled strongly at Shogunmon's body. "Shogunmon! Hold on!" Saiai yelled over the roar of the vortex, while trying to hold on himself.

"I'm... trying..." Shogunmon's armour started to come apart.

"Shogunmon! NO!"

Shogunmon's armour suddenly shattered and flew into the void of ChaosDramon's body. The huge mouth closed, then opened again. Out of it came a small black-furred form, but unlike Tommon's fur, it had no gleam to it. Its body was spread out, and it's eyes, small and dark, peered out from its body.

"I... am... Shademon..."

ChaosDramon smiled cruelly when he saw the small form. "Shademon... How suiting a form for a warrior of the light. Shademon!"

The tiny Digimon looked up at ChaosDramon. "Yes... Master...?"

"You are now under my power, do you understand?"

"Yes... Master..."

Saiai looked at Shademon blankly. "Shademon...?"

Daisuke broke the silence. "Hey, ChaosDramon! What have you done with Tommon?"

The evil dragon grinned. "I simply reconfigured his data. But now, I believe it is time to end this battle. Shademon, curse them!"

"Master..." Shademon stood up and put his hands together. "I shall...Black Prayer..." A black mist floated from Shademon's body.

"What is that?" Miyako asked.

Suddenly, the mist flew into all the Digidestined and their Digimon, except Saiai. They all fell unconscious, and the Digimon reverted to their in-training forms.

"Good! Now, Shademon, destroy Saiai!"

"...Master..." Shademon hesitated. "...I must..." He put his hands together.


"Hold it!"


A blue-haired boy riding on the back of a insectoid Digimon flew towards Shademon.

"Lightning Strike!" The Digimon attacked Shademon with a small purplish spike.

"Unnngh!" Shademon flew back. ChaosDramon glared at the newcomer.

"Ken Ichijouji and Stingmon! Well, I believe you're a bit too late. Your friends have all been cursed by now! You do not stand a chance!"

He turned towards Saiai. "Know this, Saiai! We will meet again, and next time, there will be noone to stop me from utterly destroying you!" He and Shademon vanished.

Ken and Stingmon landed. "We should have come earlier, Stingmon."

"It isn't your fault, Ken."

"I know, but-" Ken noticed Saiai. "Who are you?"

"I'm Saiai. You must be Ken. I'm the newest Digidestined... But my Digimon's been captured and altered by ChaosDramon. Not to mention that the others are..."

"I see." Ken looked over towards where the Digidestined and their Digimon lay, then turned back towards Saiai. "We'd best get them to the village. Hopefully, someone there can help us..."


"Mummymon, tell me honestly. Do you have any idea where in the world we're going?!"

"As a matter of fact, I do! You see, I picked up these tracks a while ago, and have been following them since."

"Really? ...What kind of tracks?"

"Well, they appear to be made by two humanoid Digimon, roughly our height and weight, and one of them appears to be a lady Digimon with a cape, and the other is some kind of male Digimon with a large hat."

"...You idiot! Those are OUR tracks!"

"Well, it's not my fault the author's so unoriginal he's using other people's jokes!"

"Shh! You're not supposed to know that!"

"...Sorry."

"In any case, I have figured out something! As I see it, there may not be a way to get out of here, but there may still be a cache of Dark Spires! We could use them to create a Digimon powerful enough to break ChaosDramon's barrier!"

"Brilliant Idea, mistress!"

"Now, if only we could find them..."

"We could try following these tracks!"

"..."

"Ooops, is the Author being uninspired again?"

"I thought I told you to shut up about that! Let's just go, and from now on, I'M leading!"


Jijimon shook his head. "Oh my... this is very serious, very serious indeed."

Saiai looked at him with a pained look on his face. "Well?"

"It appears there's only one way to break this curse, yes indeed, quite."

Ken looked at Jijimon impatiently. "Well, what is it then?"

"Y'see, there's a Digimon sealed at the shrine, a dragon Digimon. As far as I know, he's the only one who could do it, and I can unseal him. But, the thing is, it can't reach the level it needs to, `cause the thing he needs is in a temple deep in the woods, guarded by powerful Digimon. One of you'll have to go get it."

Ken nodded. "I'll go. I have Wormmon with me, I should be ok."

Jijimon shook his head. "I'm afraid I can't let you go. I need you and Wormmon to stay here, to make sure noone tries to hurt your friends in their current state. I'm afraid Saiai'll have t'do it."

Saiai gaped at him. "Alone?!"

Jijimon nodded. "I'm afraid so. But don't worry, you won't be totally unprotected. I can unseal the Digimon now, and you can take him to the shrine with you."

Saiai bowed slightly. "Arigato, Jiji-sama."

Jijimon grinned. "Well, let's get going, shall we?"


"Alright, Saiai. I need you to stand back a bit, I need some room for this."

"Hai." Saiai took a few steps back. Jijimon knelt at the altar and started praying.

"Force of thunder, flash of lightning, power of dragon, winged one, come from the rock, become real once more... force of thunder, flash of lightning..."

The rock behind the three Digimon statues began glowing.

"Crash of thunder, force of dragon, come from the rock, become real now!"

A blast of light shone from the rock as something burst out of it. It was a long, blue, snake-like being, with two blade-like wings, a green crest that stretched down his neck, and a small, thunderbolt-shaped horn. It flapped its wings as it spoke.

"Thundramon lives again!"

Jijimon walked up to the snakelike dragon. "Thundramon, so nice to see you."

The dragon smiled. "Aye, it's been what, 50 years?"

"Thundramon, I need you to do me a favor. You see that lad over there?"

"Aye, you mean the human?"

"Hai. His name is Saiai, and he's a Digidestined."

"Ah, one of those types, eh? What d'ya need me to do?"

"Well, I need you to accompany him to the temple in the forest, and help him find the item there. Got it?"

"Pretty clear and simple, aye. But why doesn't `e `ave `is(A/N: XD) own Digimon?"

"Well, he does, but it was kidnapped and altered by ChaosDramon, an evil dragon Digimon."

"Ah, I see. Well, what the heck, I'll go for it!" Thundramon flew over to Saiai. "Aye, you're lucky, lad! I be one of the strongest fighters around! I'll not let ye be hurt by any of those bad Digimon!"

Saiai half-smiled. "Thanks..."

Thundramon noticed Saiai's semi-sadness. "Aye, dinnae worry, lad! I'll get your friends and your partner fixed up before you can say mustachioed mitch monkeyed with a butchers knife and cut his bloody `ead off!"

"What?"

"Never mind! Let's just get goin'! I dinnae want to be in that temple after nightfall, no sir, laddie!"


ChaosDramon looked down upon Shademon. "You did well in the last battle, Shademon."

"Arigato... Master..."

"But I believe you need to be stronger."

"How... will I... become stronger... Master...?"

ChaosDramon scraped a scale out of his head using his axe and handed it to Shademon. "Just put that to your forehead."

Shademon followed ChaosDramon's instructions. Suddenly, a black flame consumed Shademon's body, and he felt himself becoming stronger, darker, more evil. He also felt a considerable amount of pain, which is why he screamed during the process.

"AAAAAARRGHHH!"

"Yes, my dark friend... soon, you shall be able to be as I am, evil's embodiment! Then, nothing will stop us, nothing, not even your former partner, Saiai! Then, we shall truly be powerful! We shall rule!"
