Chapter 32: Two New Megas
Jenn
We'd been following Metalseadramon and Machinedramon for about fifteen minutes now, and had gotten a decent distance from the town. As we'd reached the outskirts of town all our Digimon had Digivolved to their Ultimate state, none of else could go any higher than that, which was not very good for us considering both of our opponents were. All the Digimon that could fly were following Metalseadramon, and the ones that couldn't were on the ground following Machinedramon.
We soon reached a small clearing in the woods, which was right next to a lake, which Metalseadramon immediately dove into half submerged. Machinedramon made his way to the middle of the clearing followed by the rest of the Digimon who couldn't fly.
"Okay," Izzy said as he rode on Megakabuterimon's back, who hovered slightly in front of Metalseadramon, a risk he probably shouldn't be taking. "I believe now this is the part where you mock us you two divide us into two groups and we begin fighting."
"So it seems you've figured out the scheme of occurrences during the past occurrences." Metalseadramon gloated.
"I'd say it wouldn't be hard to do," I said as Parrotmon flew up beside Izzy. "You guys do pretty much the same thing whenever you attack. Evamon sure isn't very creative."
"That may be," Metalseadramon said. "But he's powerful enough that he doesn't need to be. And so are all his minions, such as us."
"Yeah right," Davis said as Aeroveedramon flew up to Izzy, Megakabuterimon, Parrotmon, and I. "So far you've proven to be pretty weak. You even had to run away during our last confrontations."
"Things have changed! You don't have your big bad Mega Digimon to protect you now; they're off getting the crap beat out of them by Piedmon. They'll be joining your other two friends soon, as will you."
I angrily clenched my fists at that last remark. Like I needed to be reminded about that. My mind was constantly going back to that scene on the bridge, when we'd lost Dan and Janine. I still found it hard to believe that had actually happened. I kept going through the scene millions of times in my mind. Seeing the ring of fire hit the bridge, and only watching as Dan and Janine screamed and plummeted into the raging river.
I played it over again and again, thinking of the things that I could have done differently, I was the closest one to the two of them, I had the best chance of saving them, if I had reacted a second earlier they'd still be with us, instead of in the river possibly dead. I doubted that they weren't, Gizamon and Otamamon had dived in after them, but they wouldn't have been able do much if the river had already taken its toll. I knew what that river could do, many were washed into it before and died after only seconds of being within it, the rapids were harsh, it was unlikely that they could have survived, and even if they had they could have been seriously hurt by the rocks. If they were alive I couldn't imagine how they were suffering what kind of hell they must be in. I wiped a single tear out of my face, I still couldn't believe they were actually gone; this was the first time we'd actually lost anyone, we'd come close before but it had never actually happened. I thought I'd accepted the fact that death could end up becoming a part of this fight, but it never really occurred to me how so incredibly serious this was until it had actually happened.
"Enough of this talk!" Machinedramon said. "I came here to fight, not to talk."
I grew even angrier upon hearing that last remark; my heart ached to seek revenge on these two. Sure they hadn't fired the attack but they might as well have, from what the others had told us about Dark Masters they might as well be one Digimon.
"You're right," I said. "Let's forget the talk and just do what we came here to do and wipe the floor with you guys."
"Really?" Machinedramon said.
In a second the giant metal dinosaur disappeared from where he was standing before from his position in the clearing and reappeared right above Parrotmon and I.
"Aaaaah!" Parrotmon screamed as Machinedramon's giant metal claw crashed onto her back sending her crashing into the middle of the clearing, and returned to Penguinmon about two seconds after hitting the ground, I quickly cradled her in my arms.
There was a thunderous crash as Machinedramon landed only a few feet away from us, as he loomed over us.
"You'll be the first," he said. "Giga Cannon."
I covered my eyes as Machinedramon fired an energy ball from his shoulder-mounted cannons straight at us. But the loud screeching sound of the energy beam was cut off by a large trumpeting sound, as Mammothmon and Sean jumped between the attack and Penguinmon and I, taking the full force of the attack in his side. Then just like Parrotmon had the giant mammoth Digimon fell to the ground beside us, also returning to his rookie form.
I ran to Sean and Tapirmon's side. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah fine, don't worry about me," Sean said taking his weakened Digimon in his arms.
Thunderous footsteps crashed through the entire area as Machinedramon began to come closer to us, and began charging up his attack once again. Then once again Machinedramon has interrupted. Triceramon Rammed into him holding him back from attacking us, Skullpiomon, and Ookuwamon soon joined him, all three of them tackling him attempting to hold him back, even with all three of them they weren't having much luck. Angewomon, and Aeroveedramon soon joined the dog pile but were still having trouble restraining the metal dinosaur. The other five Digimon were too busy battling with Metalseadramon to help.
Machinedramon roared as he shot his hands from his sides tossing the five Ultimate Digimon that held him right off, most of them recovered easily landing on their feet or taking into the air. Triceramon was the only one that didn't he took a full force hit in the stomach by one of Machinedramon's claws, then crashed to the ground, and became Gotsumon.
"This is not working out very well," Rob said helping Gotsumon back to his feet.
"No kidding," Gotsumon groaned.
The battle continued as Skullpiomon, Ookuwamon, Angewomon, and Aeroveedramon launched an onslaught of attacks at Machinedramon, but Machinedramon either just dodged them, or knocked them aside.
"Run!" Rob yelled grabbing a hold of Sean's arm then my own.
He didn't really need to force us like that; it was obvious that the spot we were in at the moment wasn't exactly the safest place to be at the moment. It was at the center of the battle, some of those deflected attacks had almost hit us, if we stayed here we'd just end up getting in the crossfire or get in the way.
Rob and Gotsumon led us to the edge of the clearing, and out of the way of the battle. It wasn't exactly completely safe, but it was as safe as we were going to get. I now turned my attention to the battle between Metalseadramon and the other Digimon.
"River of power!" Metalseadramon yelled firing a huge energy beam from his nose-mounted cannon.
The five Digimon scattered, each barely managed to dodge the attack. When they had finally recovered from dodging the attack, they began to attack Metalseadramon again only to discover that he was gone.
"This sure doesn't look good," Megakabuterimon said. "He could be-"
"Look out!" Zudomon yelled as he jumped out of the water, just seconds after a familiar attack of Metalseadramon's shot out of the water just barely missing Joe, and Zudomon. The attack continued to shoot into the air, the sides of the attack skimmed over Megakabuterimon and Garudamon's back, but that was enough to send them crashing down into the center of the clearing, both Ultimate Digimon now returning to their rookie forms, Izzy and Sora rolled off their backs, now holding them in their arms.
Lillymon and Petoramon soon followed suit as Metalseadramon jumped out of the water ramming both of them, and like the others they crashed into the clearing becoming Hawkmon, and Palmon again, and like all the fallen Digimon before them they were being cradled in their partner's arms. Zudomon was next, merely being tossed aside with a flick of Metalseadramon's tail, hitting the ground on his back just a few feet away from us. Joe barely managed to get off of his back before getting crushed. Soon Zudomon was in his rookie form as well, being held in Joe's arms.
"Giga cannon!"
Machinedramon announcing his next attack caused me to turn my attention back to the battle with him, and unfortunately it wasn't going any better. Two giant balls of energy had just hit Aeroveedramon, Skullpiomon, and Ookuwamon. The force of the hits had done the same repetitive thing that it had with all the other Digimon, they returned to their rookie stages upon falling into the clearing and were soon being cradled in the arms of their respective Digidestined partner. Now the only ones who were still capable of taking on Metalseadramon, and Machinedramon were Kari and Angewomon, they were both pretty tough, but they were nothing compared to these two.
The two Dark Masters obviously saw this, and ignored them, Metalseadramon slithered up on land, alongside Machinedramon; both began to move towards us ready to finish us off.
"Stop!" Angewomon yelled flying between the two Dark Maters and us.
"We won't let you hurt them!" Kari said.
Metalseadramon grinned. "What do we have here, it's the sister of the one who destroyed us. How about we take this one out first."
"Yes," Machinedramon said. "I had been hoping on seeking revenge on Wargreymon and Tai, but I suppose destroying one of Tai's bloodline would be the next best thing."
"You'll hurt Kari over my dead body," Angewomon yelled.
The two Mega Digimon laughed. "That's exactly the point."
Metalseadramon attacked first ramming Angewomon in the stomach, she and Kari were tossed towards the ground, but Machinedramon wasn't going to let them get off as easy as the rest of us, he ran right under them and hit Angewomon in the back with his metallic claws. She soon was being hit back and forth between the two Mega Digimon like she was a ping-pong ball. Kari was soon thrown off of her back due to the attack; I quickly caught her and softened her fall.
"Angewomon no!" Kari yelled starting to run towards the fight.
I grabbed a hold of her and held her back. "I'm sorry Kari there's nothing you can do to help her now, it's too dangerous."
Kari son stopped struggling, at least she was rational, I'm sure anyone else would be kicking and screaming for me to let them go.
Angewomon finally managed to break free of the arsenal of attacks, but only because Machinedramon and Metalseadramon had allowed her too. She has beat up pretty bad, she has breathing heavily, battered with bruises and barely able to stay up in the air.
"Come on Angewomon!" Kari yelled to her Digimon. "You're the only one left. You have to beat them, you're the only one who can beat these two!"
"Thanks, no pressure Kari." Angewomon said drawing her bow. "Celestial Arrow!"
Angewomon fired her trademark attack at both Dark Masters, only to have it hit straight into the air effortlessly by Machinedramon.
That was it for Angewomon that last attack used up what little power she had left, her body went limp as she plummeted towards the ground, becoming Gatomon as she fell. Kari quickly ran under her and caught her in her arms.
"Don't tell me that was it," Metalseadramon said. "You Digidestined really are weak without your Mega Digimon to back you up aren't you?"
"Stop mocking them and let's just destroy them," Machinedramon said. "This is beginning to get on my nerves."
Suddenly an evil grin grew on Metalseadramon's face as he looked into the sky. "We may not have to, looks like they'll end up doing it themselves." Confusion tore through my mind, and probably everyone else's, but that ended as I looked up where Metalseadramon had been looking. Where I saw the arrow that Angewomon had fired, and that Machinedramon had hit into the air. It was coming back down, and straight at us.
"Uh run!" Davis yelled.
We really didn't need to be told, when a giant arrow that could incinerate you in a few seconds was coming at you, it wasn't a good idea to hang around. We all scattered running in different directions. Except for one of us.
"Ah!" Sean yelled.
He tripped, on something and fell to the ground. I stopped running immediately placing Penguinmon on the ground, and knelt at his side.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Fine," he grumbled.
"Good, because you've got to move!"
"Hurry up!" Penguinmon yelled.
"The arrow's coming down!" Tapirmon yelled in the same position Penguinmon was. We were the only ones that were still in danger we had to get moving now. I began to help Sean up, but before we could get up some invisible force forced us back to the ground.
I looked up expected Machinedramon or Metalseadramon to be causing it, but instead I saw Gatomon holding her paws towards us using what little force she had left to hold us down.
"Gatomon what are you doing!" Kari yelled.
"Trust me Kari, I know what I'm doing."
"You're going to get them killed!"
"No I'm not, it's best that they stay there. Am I the only one who's noticed the second arrow?"
Second arrow? She was right, there was a second arrow. There was her own pink arrow, and a second yellow one. Where did that come from?
"Hey that's Magnaang- ha ha! Gatomon you're a genius!"
"Mind telling us what's going on here!" I yelled.
"Can't!" Kari said. "If we do it won't work."
Sean wrapped his arms around me and buried his face in my stomach. He was really trembling.
"Jenn I'm scared!" he yelled sounding too much like an eight year old. Sure that's what he was, but this was the first time I'd ever seen him act like one. If he was the same height as the rest of us you could never tell he was four years younger.
"It's okay," I said trying to comfort him. "Kari and Gatomon seem to know what they're doing. It'll be fine."
I only wish that I could believe that myself. The truth was I was probably as scared as he was if not more.
I covered my eyes just as the two arrows hit us. I expected pain and to see my body become incinerated, instead the arrows washed over us in a field of light, and I didn't feel pain I felt tons of power surging through me, like I could fire an attack myself.
"I feel really weird." Penguinmon said.
"That makes two of us," Tapirmon said.
My Digivice and crest started reacting to the light field the arrows had caused. Both glowing like they had the first time Penguinmon had Digivolved to Kiwimon and the first time Kiwimon had Digivolved into Parrotmon. They had glowed like this before, but always separately, not together like they were now. I also noticed that the same thing was happening to Sean's Digivice and crest.
A beam suddenly shot out of both the Digivice and crest, merging into one beam, which engulfed Penguinmon, the same thing happened to Sean, as a second beam engulfed Tapirmon.
"Penguinmon Warp Digivolved to………………..Eaglemon!"
"Tapirmon Warp Digivolved to……………………Skullmammothmon!"
After the light from the Digivolution my eyes met on the two new Digimon that had appeared. Penguinmon and Tapirmon's Mega forms!
Eaglemon was a giant golden eagle Digimon. Like Parrotmon she had arms and legs, and wings on her back. She was completely gold, with beautiful golden-feathered wings, with strong looking golden armor on the rest of her body. The only parts of her that weren't gold were the talons on her feet, her hands, and her head, with the exception of a pointed visor on her forehead.
Next was Sean's Digimon Skullmammothmon, he was about five times bigger than Mammothmon, and could basically be described as the skeleton of a mammoth, with a visible spherical heart in his rib cage. His visible bones were almost completely white except for his head, which has a golden.
"Finally this has gotten interesting." Metalseadramon said.
"Too bad," Machinedramon said. "I was hoping that we could wrap this up and dispose of these weaklings a little more quickly. They're worse than cockroaches."
"We'll show you who the weaklings are," Skullmammothmon said. "Eaglemon, I'll take the tin can, you get the overgrown sardine."
"Happy to oblige." Eaglemon said.
Sean and I's Digimon charged each attacking their designated opponent. Eaglemon shot one of her wings forward extending the metallic feathers each were acting like dozens of tiny knives. Metalseadramon was just barely able to dodge the razor sharp wing, jumping into the air, and diving into the nearby lake, disappearing below the water.
Meanwhile Skullmammothmon engaged in battle with Machinedramon, charging at him in the classic elephant type charge. Machinedramon attempted to counter the attack by slashing Skullmammothmon with his metallic claw, but Skullmammothmon easily with his tusks, and they were trapped in a Stalemate trying to out power each other. Skullmammothmon ended up breaking it as he wrapped his trunk around Machinedramon's arm picked him up and threw him aside. Machinedramon rolled a few feet away onto his stomach.
"Marrow Missile!" Skullmammothmon yelled launching the tips of his tusks like missiles at Machinedramon.
"Giga Cannon!" Machinedramon yelled firing his own attack. The attacks collided and proved to be equally powerful, as they canceled each other out after colliding.
Machinedramon jumped to his feet quickly, and charged at Skullmammothmon, attempting to ram him, but Sean's Digimon, was a mammoth, and was built for ramming, and did the same easily overpowering the metal Dinosaur Digimon, and tossed him aside. Machinedramon was staring to get mad now, and charged Sean's Mega Digimon once again. This time Skullmammothmon didn't cut the Dark Master any slack.
Skullmammothmon pulled back his trunk and put his tusks forward. It was too late for Machinedramon to stop now he continued charging and ended up impaled through the chest by Skullmammothmon's long tusks.
His expression didn't change, but you could tell he was shocked by the grunting sounds he made. It wasn't long before the once powerful Digimon shattered, and his bits of data floated up into the air.
Meanwhile Eaglemon's fight with Metalseadramon continued, as my Digimon flew over the lake watching it closely. Suddenly one of Metalseadramon's massive River of Power attacks shot out of the water. However Eaglemon had seen it coming, and dodged it with little or no effort. Metalseadramon had dived into the lake in an attempt to hide from Eaglemon using the water so Eaglemon couldn't see the attack coming, but that wouldn't do anything against an eagle Digimon. Eagle eyes are built for seeing underwater, they could find a dime in a silver coloured lake.
One after another Metalseadramon's attacks shot out of the water, and one after another Eaglemon dodged them with almost no effort at all. Frustrated with the inability to hit Eagle Metalseadramon jumped out of the water straight at Eaglemon. Being an agile flyer Eaglemon just moved backwards and dodged the rampaging Metalseadramon as he soared over her head. This was her chance Metalseadramon was completely vulnerable, and Eaglemon took full advantage of it. Her razor sharp wings shot forward coming together in Metalseadramon's midsection. The razor sharp wings acted like scissors and cut the Dark Master in half.
Metalseadramon held an expression of pure horror as his two halves plummeted lifelessly towards the water, but they never hit the water. Metalseadramon held the same fate as Machinedramon, his body shattered, and his bits of data floated into the air, ending those two and this battle. Eaglemon and Skullmammothmon left the battle scene and returned to Sean and I's side.
"Did I do good?"
"You did great." I said.
"At least that's over," Izzy said. "Three Dark Masters down, one to go I guess, and it'll be even easier with two new Mega Digimon on our side. I'm just curious about one thing that was Angemon's arrow of hope right? Where exactly did it come from?"
"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth Izzy," Davis said. "It's got the job done. Who cares where it came from?"
"Well T.K and Magnaangemon are fighting Piedmon not too far away from here, it was probably just a stray arrow from the battle." Rob said.
Izzy stared blankly. "Oh right, maybe I should have thought of that." Rob was about to say something else, but was interrupted as the sky suddenly got darker, and not just darker, but starting to rip itself apart replaced by a huge dark rip in the sky. One we'd seen before, we knew it indefinitely as Evamon.
----------------
Well like? In case you were wondering, I did not make up Eaglemon, and Skullmammothmon they actually exist (well not exist in reality but are actual Digimon not ones I made up). You'll find find pictures of them at http://www.megchan.com/digimon/encyclopedia.html under Crossmon, and Skullmammon. Oh and as for the arrow of Hope, you'll find out how it got there in the next Chapter, also a pure action fic. Oh well I'll stop now so you can leave me reivews....or not whatever.
Stay tuned for......Chapter 33: Bring in the Clown
unfortunately yes Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, you know that the lawyers know that everyone does!

"You're right," I said. "Let's forget the talk and just do what we came here to do and wipe the floor with you guys."
"Really?" Machinedramon said.
In a second the giant metal dinosaur disappeared from where he was standing before from his position in the clearing and reappeared right above Parrotmon and I.
"Aaaaah!" Parrotmon screamed as Machinedramon's giant metal claw crashed onto her back sending her crashing into the middle of the clearing, and returned to Penguinmon about two seconds after hitting the ground, I quickly cradled her in my arms.

Machinedramon announcing his next attack caused me to turn my attention back to the battle with him, and unfortunately it wasn't going any better. Two giant balls of energy had just hit Aeroveedramon, Skullpiomon, and Ookuwamon.

"Thanks, no pressure Kari." Angewomon said drawing her bow. "Celestial Arrow!"
Angewomon fired her trademark attack at both Dark Masters, only to have it hit straight into the air effortlessly by Machinedramon.
That was it for Angewomon that last attack used up what little power she had left, her body went limp as she plummeted towards the ground, becoming Gatomon as she fell. Kari quickly ran under her and caught her in her arms.
"Don't tell me that was it," Metalseadramon said. "You Digidestined really are weak without your Mega Digimon to back you up aren't you?"
"Stop mocking them and let's just destroy them," Machinedramon said. "This is beginning to get on my nerves."
Suddenly an evil grin grew on Metalseadramon's face as he looked into the sky. "We may not have to, looks like they'll end up doing it themselves." Confusion tore through my mind, and probably everyone else's, but that ended as I looked up where Metalseadramon had been looking. Where I saw the arrow that Angewomon had fired, and that Machinedramon had hit into the air. It was coming back down, and straight at us.
"Uh run!" Davis yelled.
We really didn't need to be told, when a giant arrow that could incinerate you in a few seconds was coming at you, it wasn't a good idea to hang around. We all scattered running in different directions. Except for one of us.
"Ah!" Sean yelled.
He tripped, on something and fell to the ground. I stopped running immediately placing Penguinmon on the ground, and knelt at his side.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Fine," he grumbled.
"Good, because you've got to move!"
"Hurry up!" Penguinmon yelled.
"The arrow's coming down!" Tapirmon yelled in the same position Penguinmon was. We were the only ones that were still in danger we had to get moving now. I began to help Sean up, but before we could get up some invisible force forced us back to the ground.
I looked up expected Machinedramon or Metalseadramon to be causing it, but instead I saw Gatomon holding her paws towards us using what little force she had left to hold us down.
"Gatomon what are you doing!" Kari yelled.
"Trust me Kari, I know what I'm doing."
"You're going to get them killed!"
"No I'm not, it's best that they stay there. Am I the only one who's noticed the second arrow?"
Second arrow? She was right, there was a second arrow. There was her own pink arrow, and a second yellow one. Where did that come from?
"Hey that's Magnaang- ha ha! Gatomon you're a genius!"
"Mind telling us what's going on here!" I yelled.
"Can't!" Kari said. "If we do it won't work."
Sean wrapped his arms around me and buried his face in my stomach. He was really trembling.
"Jenn I'm scared!" he yelled sounding too much like an eight year old. Sure that's what he was, but this was the first time I'd ever seen him act like one. If he was the same height as the rest of us you could never tell he was four years younger.
"It's okay," I said trying to comfort him. "Kari and Gatomon seem to know what they're doing. It'll be fine."
I only wish that I could believe that myself. The truth was I was probably as scared as he was if not more.
I covered my eyes just as the two arrows hit us. I expected pain and to see my body become incinerated, instead the arrows washed over us in a field of light, and I didn't feel pain I felt tons of power surging through me, like I could fire an attack myself.
"I feel really weird." Penguinmon said.
"That makes two of us," Tapirmon said.
My Digivice and crest started reacting to the light field the arrows had caused. Both glowing like they had the first time Penguinmon had Digivolved to Kiwimon and the first time Kiwimon had Digivolved into Parrotmon. They had glowed like this before, but always separately, not together like they were now. I also noticed that the same thing was happening to Sean's Digivice and crest.
A beam suddenly shot out of both the Digivice and crest, merging into one beam, which engulfed Penguinmon, the same thing happened to Sean, as a second beam engulfed Tapirmon.
"Penguinmon Warp Digivolved to………………..Eaglemon!"
"Tapirmon Warp Digivolved to……………………Skullmammothmon!"
After the light from the Digivolution my eyes met on the two new Digimon that had appeared. Penguinmon and Tapirmon's Mega forms!
Eaglemon was a giant golden eagle Digimon. Like Parrotmon she had arms and legs, and wings on her back. She was completely gold, with beautiful golden-feathered wings, with strong looking golden armor on the rest of her body. The only parts of her that weren't gold were the talons on her feet, her hands, and her head, with the exception of a pointed visor on her forehead.
Next was Sean's Digimon Skullmammothmon, he was about five times bigger than Mammothmon, and could basically be described as the skeleton of a mammoth, with a visible spherical heart in his rib cage. His visible bones were almost completely white except for his head, which has a golden.
"Finally this has gotten interesting." Metalseadramon said.
"Too bad," Machinedramon said. "I was hoping that we could wrap this up and dispose of these weaklings a little more quickly. They're worse than cockroaches."
"We'll show you who the weaklings are," Skullmammothmon said. "Eaglemon, I'll take the tin can, you get the overgrown sardine."
"Happy to oblige." Eaglemon said.
Sean and I's Digimon charged each attacking their designated opponent. Eaglemon shot one of her wings forward extending the metallic feathers each were acting like dozens of tiny knives. Metalseadramon was just barely able to dodge the razor sharp wing, jumping into the air, and diving into the nearby lake, disappearing below the water.
Meanwhile Skullmammothmon engaged in battle with Machinedramon, charging at him in the classic elephant type charge. Machinedramon attempted to counter the attack by slashing Skullmammothmon with his metallic claw, but Skullmammothmon easily with his tusks, and they were trapped in a Stalemate trying to out power each other. Skullmammothmon ended up breaking it as he wrapped his trunk around Machinedramon's arm picked him up and threw him aside. Machinedramon rolled a few feet away onto his stomach.
"Marrow Missile!" Skullmammothmon yelled launching the tips of his tusks like missiles at Machinedramon.
"Giga Cannon!" Machinedramon yelled firing his own attack. The attacks collided and proved to be equally powerful, as they canceled each other out after colliding.
Machinedramon jumped to his feet quickly, and charged at Skullmammothmon, attempting to ram him, but Sean's Digimon, was a mammoth, and was built for ramming, and did the same easily overpowering the metal Dinosaur Digimon, and tossed him aside. Machinedramon was staring to get mad now, and charged Sean's Mega Digimon once again. This time Skullmammothmon didn't cut the Dark Master any slack.
Skullmammothmon pulled back his trunk and put his tusks forward. It was too late for Machinedramon to stop now he continued charging and ended up impaled through the chest by Skullmammothmon's long tusks.
His expression didn't change, but you could tell he was shocked by the grunting sounds he made. It wasn't long before the once powerful Digimon shattered, and his bits of data floated up into the air.
Meanwhile Eaglemon's fight with Metalseadramon continued, as my Digimon flew over the lake watching it closely. Suddenly one of Metalseadramon's massive River of Power attacks shot out of the water. However Eaglemon had seen it coming, and dodged it with little or no effort. Metalseadramon had dived into the lake in an attempt to hide from Eaglemon using the water so Eaglemon couldn't see the attack coming, but that wouldn't do anything against an eagle Digimon. Eagle eyes are built for seeing underwater, they could find a dime in a silver coloured lake.
One after another Metalseadramon's attacks shot out of the water, and one after another Eaglemon dodged them with almost no effort at all. Frustrated with the inability to hit Eagle Metalseadramon jumped out of the water straight at Eaglemon. Being an agile flyer Eaglemon just moved backwards and dodged the rampaging Metalseadramon as he soared over her head. This was her chance Metalseadramon was completely vulnerable, and Eaglemon took full advantage of it. Her razor sharp wings shot forward coming together in Metalseadramon's midsection. The razor sharp wings acted like scissors and cut the Dark Master in half.
Metalseadramon held an expression of pure horror as his two halves plummeted lifelessly towards the water, but they never hit the water. Metalseadramon held the same fate as Machinedramon, his body shattered, and his bits of data floated into the air, ending those two and this battle. Eaglemon and Skullmammothmon left the battle scene and returned to Sean and I's side.
"Did I do good?"
"You did great." I said.
"At least that's over," Izzy said. "Three Dark Masters down, one to go I guess, and it'll be even easier with two new Mega Digimon on our side. I'm just curious about one thing that was Angemon's arrow of hope right? Where exactly did it come from?"
"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth Izzy," Davis said. "It's got the job done. Who cares where it came from?"
"Well T.K and Magnaangemon are fighting Piedmon not too far away from here, it was probably just a stray arrow from the battle." Rob said.
Izzy stared blankly. "Oh right, maybe I should have thought of that." Rob was about to say something else, but was interrupted as the sky suddenly got darker, and not just darker, but starting to rip itself apart replaced by a huge dark rip in the sky. One we'd seen before, we knew it indefinitely as Evamon.

Well like? In case you were wondering, I did not make up Eaglemon, and Skullmammothmon they actually exist (well not exist in reality but are actual Digimon not ones I made up). You'll find find pictures of them at http://www.megchan.com/digimon/encyclopedia.html under Crossmon, and Skullmammon. Oh and as for the arrow of Hope, you'll find out how it got there in the next Chapter, also a pure action fic. Oh well I'll stop now so you can leave me reivews....or not whatever.
Stay tuned for......Chapter 33: Bring in the Clown
