Digital Demons II - Part 5

by Nopporn Wongrassamee

Summary: Crossover between Digimon Tamers, Jackie Chan
Adventures, and Gatekeepers. Things go boom.

Disclaimer: These characters are not mine. I'm just too lazy to
look up who they belong to.


Time T+1

The Cyberdramon clones didn't try any kind of distance attack.
They were much too crowded for that. They just charged
forward.

Suddenly finding their fire was ineffective, Taomon, Growlmon,
and Gargomon went under as the clones dog piled them. Their
Tamers collapsed at the same time as they felt what their
partners felt.

Ryo's Cyberdramon, the original, looked back and forth in
uncharacteristic confusion, unsure what to do or which clones to
fight. Ryo himself was dazed and barely aware of what was going
on due to the energy expenditure of accidently digivolving all the
clones.

Jeri was wide awake and aware the gang was about to be
completely overrun. She had no idea what she had done before
to get Monodramon away from MassPoKongMon, but she quickly
realized that she also didn't have time to figure out how to do it
again. But there was one Tamer still free to act if she could wake
him back up.

Time T+2

Jeri rushed over to Ryo. Grabbing him by the bandanna, she
dragged him up to his knees. "Ryo! Wake up!" Jery shouted in
his face. "We need you!"

Captain Black pulled out his gun and fired ineffectively at the
Monodramon swarming forward.

Somewhere deep inside the main group of Cyberdramon clones,
Jade found herself surrounded by ultimate level Digimon. Her
response was instantaneous. She lashed out with energy beams
provided courtesy of a pair of Talismans. But this only held the
Cyberdramon back. The blasts only hurt them. Jade couldn't
concentrate at attack on any one Cyberdramon long enough to
kill them.

On the far edge of the crowd, Ruriko found things similarly hard
going. As she retreated to the ruins of the AEGISmobile, she fired
arrows off three at a time. This barely slowed them down, and
Ruriko caught a glimpse of MassPoKongMon wading through the
crowd towards her. To top it off, Ruriko was also quickly running
out of arrows.

Time T+3

"Uh, hi Jeri," Ryo said sleepily. "Wassup?"

"Ryo, wake up!" Jeri shouted again, slapping the boy hard across
the cheek.

Jade missed one. A Cyberdramon clone hit her from behind,
knocking her to the ground.

Ruriko tripped backwards over a piece of debris.

Time T+4

Ryo blinked and stared at Jeri. Then he looked past Jeri and
assessed what was going on.

"Do something!" Jeri shouted desperately. The downed Tamers
didn't look to good. Their Digimon weren't going to last much
longer.

"And do it fast!" Captain Black added as a clone squeezed past
the perimeter defense.

Jade decided to stop fighting and take the better part of valor.
Channeling all her will power into the Rabbit Talisman, she
dashed off, just evading a decending foot. Jade weaved her way
between and sometimes under the larger Cyberdramon around
her. Jade's passage caused instant confusion as the clones
turned to engage her only to find her already gone. The attacks
on the others slowed.

Sprawled on her behind, Ruriko fired off her last five arrows into
the lead Cyberdramon. It died like any Digimon, disintegrating
into data bits. The rest of the crowd paused.

Time T+5

"Not now!" Jeri cried at the intruding clone. Reacting to her
desires, Jeri's orange Gate opened in front of her again, and a
translucent orange lion leapt from it at the clone. This one was
more amorphous, less defined than the first lion Jeri had created
before. Lion and clone tumbled into the Gargomon pile, knocking
several other clones off the smaller Digimon.

"Cyberdramon," Ryo began slowly as he finally deduced what
must have happened and formulated the beginnings of a plan.
He held up the Digivice to his partner. "I'm sorry, buddy."

Seeing the confusion her passage caused, Jade changed her
course. Instead of looking for the nearest exit, she ran in a
rough, expanding spiral, seeking to cause the most chaos among
the clones as she could. The tide of Cyberdramon clones
surging towards the others receded to practically nothing.

To Ruriko's surprise, the Cyberdramon clones surging towards
her stopped. She didn't think a single casualty would cause them
to hesitate.Then Ruriko realized it hadn't when the crowd parted.
MassPoKongMon had come to deal with her personally.

Time T+6

Scratched, bitten and burned, the Cyberdramon clone slashed at
Jeri's lion. The slash connected, and the lion exploded into an
orange mist which burned and stunned the clone. Jeri grunted as
her link to the lion was severed. But there was little actual pain
from the feedback.

Now, if only she could figure out how to call the lion at will...

Nearby, the real Cyberdramon understood instantly what his
partner was about to do. "I understaaaAAAARGGGHHH!" he
growled out then screamed as Ryo turned on the whip function
of his Digivice. A brilliant white beam shot from Ryo's Digivice
and wrapped around Cyberdramon. His clones all stopped
whatever they were doing to scream in sympathy as the pain
transfered down the same link that had chanelled Ryo's
digivolve command.

Seeing all the clones stop trying to get her, Jade took a moment
to assess the situation. Her running had brought her behind the
remaining Demon Sorcerer.

"And now, little mortal," MassPoKongMon gloated at Ruriko,
ignoring the howling clones. "You will pay...eh?" She paused in
surprise when Jade suddenly dashed between her legs then shot
straight up into the air to hover in from of the demon's face. Jade
sent a blast with the Dragon Talisman into one of demon's eyes,
and used the Pig Talisman to shoot the other.

MassPoKongMon roared in pain as she was effectively blinded.

Time T+7

With the attack on their Digimon stopped for the moment, the
Tamers sprang to their feet as the pain coming from their
Digimon receded.

Not wasting any time, Takato swiped his home made blue card
through his Digivice. "Henry, catch!" Takato called, tossing the
card to Henry. Henry caught the card easily and swiped it through
his own Digivice.

Growlmon and Gargomon began to shine brilliantly as they
digivolved. Although in Growlmon's case, this had to be mostly
inferred from the beams of light shining through the gaps of the
writhing clones on top of him.

Taomon's dogpile practically exploded as she shot up out from
under them. She landed next to Rika cut and hurt, but otherwise
alive.

On the otherside of the clone crowd, MassPoKongMon blindly
unleashed another Avalanche Blast in the direction she had last
seen Ruriko. But like any ordinary Digimon, MassPoKongMon
had to telegraph her attack an instant in advance by saying its
name.

With the Rabbit Talisman, an instant was all Jade needed. She
grabbed Rika's grandmother and carried her safely out of the way
before the rain of boulders reached them.

Time T+8

"ATOMIC BLASTER!"

"TALISMAN OF LIGHT!"

"RAPID MISSILE!"

Taking advantage of the clones' incapacitated state, the Tamers'
Digimon began blasting away to clear their immediate area of
hostiles.

"How're you holding up, Cyberdramon?" Ryo asked his partner,
concerned about the pain he was inflicting.

"I can... handle it," the Digimon gritted out.

"Hi, guys!" Jade called cheerfully as she and Ruriko flew up to the
Tamers. Jade set down the older woman first before landing
herself.

Time T+9

"Grandma!" Rika cried happily, wrapping the woman in a bear
hug.

"Oof!" Ruriko grunted at the strength of her granddaughter's hug.
"I'm happy to see you too, Rika."

"Did that girl just fly?" Jeri asked Takato, indicating Jade.

"Nevermind her!" Rika interupted before Takato could reply. "My
Grandma's okay!"

"Gee, you're welcome," Jade replied dryly.

Meanwhile, Po Kong's eyes began to clear. She realized that her
Avalanche Blast had killed nothing but some grass and maybe
some trees. Again. Her enemies had also effectively stopped her
minions, too. They were killing them off slowly but surely.

Enraged, Po Kong was fed up with all this new fangled digital
magic. It was time to do things the old way. Turning to where her
enemies had clustered, she raised her arms and began chanting
the most devastating banishment spell she knew.

Time T+10

"Kids," Captain Black called. "Po Kong's up to something..."

Everyone turned to look. The digital demon had her arms raised
above her head. In her hands was a massive glowing orb that was
growing steadily larger.

Jade reacted instantly, firing an eyeblast into the demon. There
was no reaction.

When he saw all that, Ryo didn't bother to think. He reacted. His
partner was laying flat on the ground at this point. Ryo hopped
onto Cyberdramon's back and shut off the whip. He pulled out a
Modify card.

"Ryo? What..." Takato began.

"Cyberdramon! Go!" Ryo ordered, swiping the card through his
Digivice. "Digimodify! Hyperspeed activate!"

Cyberdramon took off like a shot over his clones' heads. The
clones in turn hit the other Tamers' Digimon like a hurricane.

Time T+11

Satisfied that her banishment spell was complete, Po Kong
began to lob the ball of pure malevolent magic at her enemies.
Then she suddenly found Ryo and the original Cyberdramon
right in front of her.

"NO!" she screamed as the ball hit Tamer and Partner directly.

All three vanished in a titanic explosion of multicolored light.

The clones all stopped dead. Wailing in pain, they disintegrated
into data bits.

Time T+12

All that remained of Po Kong was her lower half. The upper half
was just gone. In moments, the lower half began disolving away
like the clones had done.

"Damn," Captain Black commented quietly. He spoke for all of
them.

Ryo and his partner were nowhere to be seen.
