Chapter 13:--------------------------------------------------------Dr. Schneider

"Yasyamon, what do you think?" The signal felt surprisingly new to me. Generally a D-Cell's signature was unique for each DigiThrope that had one. Right now I could sense the three with me. Strangely enough, I was receiving two waves from Cherubimon. One I knew as Billie's, leaving the second to be Jeanine's. With this new feeling I had just picked up.it was Katia's, but something was very wrong with it. "I don't like it, Battalimon. It's Katia alright, but something's different." Devimon had spread his wings and taken to the air again. "Well if her D-Cell's activated, that means she's in trouble. And I for one ain't going to wait around." Before any of us could object, he was off. Cherubimon and Battalimon lifted off the ground, I joined them and the three of us followed Devimon toward the cities. It was strange, having Jeanine fighting along side us, even though it was Billie in control.kind of. Every time the Digimon spoke I heard both voices, and it kept me thinking about what part my assistant would have in this. Devimon stopped suddenly, we all pulled up beside him. "Look at that. Something's going on over there." The four of us looked out over the cityscape. Tremendous flashes of light lit up the sky. Shortly after the light would be the faint sound of explosions. There was a fight going on. And our help was more than likely needed. "Katia's signal is coming from right inside the middle of that." Without a thought, we were on our way. Upon arriving in the city, we were shocked at what we saw. What had to be 20 of the centaur Digimon were attacking, and nothing was fighting against them. The area of the city was ruined, and people were fleeing in terror. The Digimon had to be stopped, and we were the only ones that could do it. "I don't see any of Katia's forms down there. Are you sure that was her?" "It had to be, who else would have a D-Cell?" Devimon looked primed and ready to fight. It was three champs and a mega against an army of Ultimates. It would be an interesting fight. "What are you worried about, Yasyamon? We can handle this." The Digimon finally noticed us, there was no turning back. Devimon was the first to charge in to the fight. "Devimon, wait!" I followed after him, but I wasn't fast enough to catch him. "You haven't been paying attention, Yasyamon. I hardly expended any energy in that fight against Pleciomon, yet loaded nearly double the data either you or Battalimon did. And if I'm right, we should be finding out my next form shortly. Right, D-Cell?" "Bio-Upgrade Digivolution." The black D-Cell lit up again, and Devimon's body became enveloped in a dark orb. I could hear his body shifting.his wings expanded in size. While he yelled out during the first transformation, this time there was only a screeching. "Devimon, Upgrade to." The orb broke open, leaving an oversized black dragon hovering over the centaurs. It was like a Devidramon, only slightly larger. His neck was longer than normal, and his muzzle came to a sharper point than the champion level. The Digimon waved its tail and called out once more. "NeoDevidramon!" It was unbelievable. Devimon had absorbed enough energy to recharge his D-Cell. Now at the ultimate level, who knew what he was capable of. Feeling a rejuvenated will to fight, I entered the battle. Both Cherubimon and Battalimon were right behind me. "Whatever you are, we've taken you out before. Prepare to be defeated!" I unsheathed my dual blades, and with a quick attack managed to drop one of the foes. There was a brief moment that allowed me to load data, but it was cut off when a pair of centaurs attacked me together. I hit the ground hard, but still willing to fight back. I didn't need to worry though. "Hellfire!" The two Digimon were sent sprawling, leaving a data cloud in their tracks. NeoDevidramon stood over me. "Take the data." He covered while I loaded it, I could feel my strength returning. "Heads up you two!" NeoDevidramon took a hit in the side from a dual attack. He rolled along the ground, recovered, and lifted off. I followed the trail back to the two Digimon that had attacked. They weren't centaurs, but I recognized them instantly. The first was SkullSatamon, a mean ultimate with incredible force. We had beat one that had worked for Demon, but it took the power of all of us at ultimate to do it. The second was what scared me. The goat head and the puffy legs his a much more sinister Digimon. It was Mephismon, an ultimate level demon. A Digimon that had also worked for Demon, but I had no clue there had been more. "Never send a Brutamon to do a General's job. SkullSatamon, take the lizard. The robot is mine!" SkullSatamon moved at lightning speeds, barely giving me time to dodge the attack I knew was coming. It hit the ground behind me, and I was launched into the air. Within seconds I was sent sprawling into a crowd of Brutamon. Next to me was Battalimon, equally damaged from an attack by Mephismon. "Yasyamon, can you move?" "Nope. How about you?" "Nah." The Brutamon gathered around us ready to strike. Thank god Cherubimon was there. "Ascended Halo!" The attack washed over the small gathering of ultimates. Within seconds they had been reduced to piles of data. Battalimon and I gathered up the data like starving animals. A newfound energy swept over us. "Hey, Battalimon. I think we've got it now." "Yep. It's about time." Our D-Cells spoke up for the second time. It was music to my ears. "Bio-Upgrade Digivolution." The D-Cell's energy flowed within me. The Bio-Upgrade was the strangest evolution of them all, as the D-Cell was part of you during the process. "Yasyamon, Upgrade to." I felt the feathers sprout from my skin while two wings opened from my back. My tail shrank away and split into five large feathers. My claws became hands, and my armor vanished. The only remaining piece was the helmet, which melded into my head to form a sharp beak. As the evolution completed, my two swords grew in size. Their edges sharpened as they grew. I had done it. I was. "Karatenmon!" Battalimon was beside me, evolving as well. "Battalimon, Upgrade to." His line of Digivolution was one of the most impressive of the five Hunters. While Battalimon was a human sized cyborg, his ultimate form was twice as big. The BioForm's guns were pushed together, producing an oversized bazooka. The gun moved to the Digimon's back, where it fitted in snuggly between the enlarging jetpack. On his arms, a set of blasters rose from inside the armor. Battalimon continued growing, his armor thickening and becoming squarer. When it was done, it looked slightly like the previous form. Only this time it was far more dangerous. "Balistamon!" The remaining Brutamon knew there would be trouble. In an attempt to retreat, one was knocked over. I was on it immediately. "Try this on!" With two quick swings, the ultimate was reduced to a pile of data. I absorbed what I could and took off after the others. "Not so fast, Hunter!" I was caught off guard with an attack from my left. As I skidded along the ground, SkullSatamon came up from behind and hit me across the back. "Ahh!" The pain was intense. From previous experience, I knew that SkullSatamon could hit hard. The little reminder hurt like heck! "You're going to regret that!" I pushed the handles of my swords together. With a quick motion, they were sent spinning at the devil. "Helio Slash!" SkullSatamon raised his staff in time to block the attack, but he didn't see Balistamon at his side.
