PeterN: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! They stopped showing Digimon on TV here .. Thanks once again for the reviews.
{Death} – Just a little note, I am not on the side of the Imperium. Send Yarrick to warn them? He doesn't even know. That mysterious place with the ICF is not human run, and to be honest I don't think any assassin or Imperial hero would survive long.
Theo 'Blitz' Leung – Which one do you mean? Elecmon's death or that Primary Village could become a Slaanesh temple? I don't think Matt would wield a force weapon very well; he hasn't exactly trained in the use of swords, etc….
Space Dragon – Um… I'm not quite sure what "hand that daemon some Prozac" means. Not sure if you mean that to avoid the hentai or to heighten the Daemon's pleasure during it. The others will probably try and rescue Mimi… again.
Pikachumaniac – A fan of Elecmon I assume. Don't worry, I only killed Elecmon off, its not like he got tortured… apart from having his head used to break the eggs he tends and cares for that is.
Immaterium (Part 13)
Matt blinked dumbly at the spot where the Greater Daemon had been. One second it had been there. The next it was gone, along with Mimi and Togemon. He tried to pry his eyes off of the slightly scorched spot where it had last stood. He saw it stroking Mimi's hair and physically shuddered in revulsion as he finally managed to move his eyes. Joe was staring in a similar way, eyes fixated on the scorch mark on the ground as though it held the answers to life. He looked back at TK; his little brother stared back at him, hope burning brightly in his eyes. There was Sora, back to the group, muttering something incomprehensible under her breath. Then there was Tai and Izzy, both on the floor. Izzy lying straight and rigid, Tai curled into a ball and weeping still.
Matt nudged them with his foot, causing a bleary-eyed Tai to slowly get up. The misery of the entire group etched hard onto his face. He rubbed at his eyes, trying to recover some of his dignity that lay shattered around them. He looked slowly at the scorch mark, bloodshot eyes asking the unspoken question. Matt nodded slowly, watching as Tai turned away again. The guilt of leaving yet another friend to the mercy of their enemies ploughing into him like a bulldozer.
Matt kicked Izzy again after he didn't move. Still no movement from the rigid lump of flesh. Matt kicked him hard in the stomach, causing Izzy to double up with pain, awareness flooding back as the blow registered a few seconds later. He stumbled to his feet, glaring at Matt. He saw the look in Matt's eyes and turned away. There was no need to add more pain to his burden, or any of their burdens. He noticed the scorch mark, guessed what happened but didn't ask. There was enough pain already, no need for someone to reiterate it.
They stood in silence, each one nursing their own personal wound, fear, or doubt. Joe stared blankly into the distance, eyes and ears not registering anything as his mind played the last minute or so when the Daemon was there over and over again. Each time he saw the scene the Greater Daemon filled him with more and more revulsion as it stroked Mimi's soft brown hair. Fear gradually built up replacing the revulsion. What will that thing do to Mimi?
Sora stared down at her feet mumbling under her breath as she recalled the disastrous few seconds that turned a probable victory into total defeat. Why didn't we attack sooner? We should have obliterated that thing at the first chance before it grabbed Mimi.
Izzy stood by the scorch mark on the ground. Closer up it looked nothing like a scorch mark, it was a definite pattern; a sphere with a crescent moon attached to it by a thin line leading away from the sphere. Crossing the line was another, larger, crescent moon, facing the opposite direction to the other and encircling half of the sphere. He stared at it, the image stinging his eyes with twisting images of deranged futures and pasts. He tore his eyes away from the powerfully scorched image, eyes bloodshot from the few seconds he had stared at it.
Tai stood facing away from the group trying desperately to recover some sense of self-control. His red eyes still weeping no matter how much he tried to stay calm. Thoughts kept drifting back to when Datamon captured Sora, and when he was too much of a coward to even move. It's true. I really am a coward. What use am I to them? All I do is nearly get them killed.
Matt gazed restlessly at the horizon; somehow he was sure Mimi was in that direction, far away, but still in that direction. His mind drifted back to Mimi's capture quicker than he could stop his thoughts from wondering. He saw the thing stroking her hair again and the fanged smile it had on its face as it did it. Don't worry Mimi, we'll get you back.
TK glanced at the group standing around, mourning their loses already. He looked at the digimon; their looks were the same as the human they were paired with. He saw the sorrow in their eyes, the defeat. We'll never win if we don't think we can win. He glanced back at Angemon and saw the same determined look in his eyes that TK was sure his own eyes held.
"We have to leave now." Angemon said in his relatively calm voice. "If we do not find Mimi and Togemon soon there is no telling what that thing will do to them." Everyone stared at him as he spoke, unreadable looks on their eyes.
"That thing will kill us." Joe said flatly. "It's probably already killed Mimi and Togemon. We don't even know where to look."
Izzy coughed slightly to get their attention. "Not quite Joe. We do know where to look, this program Gennai put on here tracks the Greater Daemons. All I have to do is scroll around the map until I find it." He turned his attention to his laptop that he'd been waving around while talking. A few seconds of furious key tapping later he looked up. "Found it. It's at… Primary Village." Izzy slowed as he realised where it was, probably one of the worst places it could have ended up in.
Joe looked sceptically at him again. "And just how are we supposed to get there?"
Matt glared at Joe. "Anyone would think that you didn't want to save Mimi. Or maybe you're in league with that thing! Is that it?" He shouted at Joe anger smashing the calm of sadness to oblivion.
Sora stepped in-between the two, remembering the last fight they had when they'd been near the Daemon. "Shut up you two! The Daemon already managed to get you two to nearly kill each other over Mimi once. We do not need you two trying to kill each other again. It's the Daemon who's to blame for this, not any of us."
"Sora's right." Tai said stepping next to her. "Izzy do you remember when we fought Etemon you did something with the laptop that teleported us to Etemon's pyramid?"
"Yes. Of course! I could use that to take us to Primary Village. We might just get there in time. I'll start on it now." Izzy let out in a fast stream of words as his hands flew across the keyboard faster than the others could follow.
The Greater Daemon watched with satisfaction as Lilymon started to demolish Primary Village. Her usual smile replaced with a neutral expression, and half closed eyes. It watched as she shot an energy beam at yet more of the bright building blocks, exploding them into smaller chunks that rained down on Primary Village below. It listened to the wails of the baby digimon as the blocks crashed down around and upon them, crushing eggs here and there with sickening crunches that made all the baby digimon weep. The Greater Daemon laughed loudly in its melodic tone as the baby digimon cowered in their cradles, too weak and too scared to do anything but watch on helplessly as random eggs were destroyed. It savoured the sounds of wailing, and whimpering, and destroyed life as one would savour a piece of fine music.
It looked at Mimi, the same glazed over expression on her face as was on Lilymon's. As the blocks were destroyed she picked up the remains and moved them to an area that the two had cleared earlier. Still a small area at the moment, it would be where the altar to Slaanesh would be built. It thought back to their efficiency at clearing the area, it had expected them to move the eggs without harming them, but instead Lilymon shot energy beams at them as fast as she could while Mimi crushed them under her boots or kicked them out of the way. It will be fun to replay that memory inside of them. It thought as it smirked, fangs just showing through its beautiful smile. Then again, once they have had time to finish this they will willingly embrace Slaanesh.
It watched as more baby digimon were killed by the girl, crushed by the weight of the blocks and cradles as she used their cradles as part of the altar. It listened to their final screams of death and watched the small black cloud of deleted data float up as they died. For the first time it noticed that the black cloud was hanging around Primary Village, getting denser and denser as more digimon were killed in the name of Slaanesh.
"Done it." Izzy said as he stopped typing and a portal appeared a few metres ahead of them. "I've got it to take us about half a kilometre from Primary Village so we get some chance to see what's going on before the fight starts." He looked round, gaze falling on Agumon and Motimon. "You two had better digivolve to Champion now. That thing is fast enough to kill you before you have a chance to digivolve while at those levels." He waited long enough to see them nod before turning to the portal and going through it. He heard the digivolution as he stepped through the portal, shortly followed by everyone else.
All of them stared in shock at the sight they saw; above Primary Village was a giant black cloud of buzzing data. "Impossible." Izzy said as he stared at it, mouth slightly open. "The amount of digimon it would take to produce that much data is…" He broke off as he realised that Primary Village had the highest concentration of digimon anywhere in Digiworld.
"It's killed them all." Joe said in shock and disbelief as he watched the omnipresent black cloud of angry data swarm as close to Primary Village as it could get, something was blocking it though at about twenty metres from the ground.
"All of those poor defenceless baby digimon." Sora whispered as she stared at the cloud as well. Too shocked to do anything else, and too scared to like the silence that would envelop them if they didn't speak.
Tai marched towards Primary Village, courage now etched on his face instead of the cowardice that had been there before. The others followed him, each as determined as the last to save Mimi and destroy the evil creature that had captured her and tried to use her as a living shield. He got close enough to see what was happening and gasped in horror; Lillymon was demolishing Primary Village along with Mimi while the Greater Daemon stood by and laughed. He silently passed his miniature telescope to the others so they could see what was happening.
"Looks like we have to fight against Lillymon as well." Izzy said, his remark earning him glares from most of them. "She wouldn't do that. The Daemon must be controlling her somehow. We have to knock her unconscious, that freed Mimi when she was under its spell."
"Guys, I don't see Mimi's tag or crest." Matt said as he looked through the telescope at Mimi. He winced as she crushed an egg that was in her path. He spun the telescope round to look at Lillymon and then the Daemon. He stopped for a moment then looked again. "That thing. It's wearing Mimi's crest and tag." Matt hissed as he had the telescope grabbed off of him by Tai.
"Lillymon's at Ultimate. You'll have to digivolve again to stand a chance of beating the both of them at once." Tai said as he peered through the telescope. "Come on, if we time this right we can hit them before they realise we're here!"
"Greymon digivolve to… MetalGreymon!"
"Garurumon digivolve to… WereGarurumon!"
"Birdramon digivolve to… Garudamon!"
"Kabuterimon digivolve to… MegaKabuterimon!"
"Ikkakumon digivolve to… Zudomon!"
"Giga Blaster!"
"Wolf Claw!"
"Wing Blade!"
"Horn Buster!"
"Vulcan's Hammer!"
"Hand of Fate!"
PeterN: Well, its getting late and you will want me to be in a happier mood when I write the battle, Digimon being cancelled isn't a good thing to happen five minutes before you start writing…. Anyway, please leave a review.
