A Power From The Past

Last Time: Takato was trying to hold off Ingermon until Kazu & Akiamon get with the D-Saber. He gave a few demonstration of his powers: First the level of the Digimon King, then the Ultraform! But then he transformed like none other calling himself, Super Tamer Takato! And right now he's taking care of business! I take it back, he's not nuts, He's Wicked!

Episode 18: Matter of Time!

Super Tamer Takato kept on hammering on Ingermon, as the beast himself, felt every punch he landed. Hammering on the gut, Takato landed a huge left uppercut to the jaw, making blood come out. Ingermon gritted his teeth & lunged at Takato again with punches of fury, but the Super Tamer blocked every one of them even though he was still landing punches. Lighting sprouted every where as the battle reved up.

"Keep it up, Takato!" informed Henry. "He's giving it everything he has!" said Jeri. "I'll say," said Terriermon as the other digimon agreed. "This is getting dangerous!" informed Kaiba, "Takato & Ingermon's powers are dead even, but even though Ingermon's getting weaker, Takato is putting out more energy!" "I know Guilmon told me about Takato's new transformation & all, but...." quitely Rika said, (Why did he keep it from me?)

Ingermon kept on getting bashed in the gut & face by Takato, but when he tried to kick him, Ingermon grabbed his leg & wrapped myself around him, making it hard for him to breath. "Now that I have you, I'm gonna make you suffer!" yelled Ingermon. "Takato! Get out of there!" yelled Jeri looking. "Jeri sweetheart, he'll be alright!" replied Henry, "You know that Takato's been in tighter situations than this!" Ingermon was still squeezing the air out of him, until Takato unwrapped himself with unrelenting force! Takato smiled as he looked at his opponent, who was still bruised & bleeding.

---Kazu & Akiamon---

"Kazu! Do you see it anywhere?" asked Akiamon looking through the bushes. "No, it's not even here!" said Kazu looking up in the tree, "I don't see it anywhere!" "This is nuts!" shouted Akiamon, "Kaiba & the others need the D-Saber to defeat Ingermon with, but how can we find it if we don't even know where it is?!"

---Back to Action---

"Meteor Crusher!" yelled Ingermon as he fired his attack in numbers. Takato swiped them away & fired a blast at him. But Ingermon grabbed it & crushed it. While they kept on exchanging blows Terriermon said, "I hate to say this, but Ingermon is putting some real nice moves on Takato!" Then Takato, himself, kicked him in the face. "Or maybe not!"

(What's taking Kazu & Akiamon so long to find one sword?) thought Takato, (I can't keep going like this forever.........My energy's fading fast & Ingermon just keeps coming back for more!) Ingermon lunged at Takato again, but this time the Super Tamer move away fast enough. Ingermon tried to get a hit off, Takato was too fast for him. He got so fustrated, he disappeared. Takato was thinking, 'where'd he go?!', but before he could answer he was bashed by a desolation destroyer to the face.

While the others were watching of what happened, Rika realized something. "Kaiba," she said while he looked at her, "I forgot to tell them where the D-Saber is! No wonder it's taking so long just to find it!" "What you say?!" said Jeri & Henry. "There's one way of talking to them! Hold on!" said Kaiba as he tried talking to Akiamon by thought.

---Tamers & Digimon scene---

Kazu & Akiamon was still looking until, 'Akiamon! This is Kaiba! Do you here me?!' Akiamon jumped up. "What's wrong Akaimon?" asked Kazu. "Kaiba's reaching me by thought," the mystic digimon replied, "Be quiet!" 'What is it, Kaiba?' 'Rika forgot to tell you where the D-Saber is!' thought Kaiba, 'I'll put her on!' "Rika, just focus your thoughts on what you want to say to Akiamon!" And so Rika did. 'Akiamon,' she thought, 'The D-Saber is right where Takato & I trained!' 'I know that, but I don't know where your training grounds where!' infomred Akiamon. 'Akiamon!' Kaiba interrupted, 'There's a secret power hidden in it! If you can sense it, you can be able find it!' 'All right, Kaiba!' thought Akiamon, 'I'll do the best I can!'

"You must of heard the whole thing, Kazu!" Kazu nodded & said, "We have to find a secret power!" Suddenly, "Kazu, I found it! Come on, this way!" They both headed North to get the D-Saber.

---Back to action---

Takato, once again, hamered on Ingermon, but the demon beast digimon fired a blast that sort of swallowed him. But, with no problem, Takato broke free as his gold with lighting aura appeared. "This is not good!" yelled Henry, "If Takato keeps on burning his energy up like this, he won't have any left to protect himself!"

---America---

Impmon, who digivolved into Beelezemon, was still looking at the dark clouds over Japan. (Takato!) he thought, (If you're really fighting right now, I can feel it all the way over here! I don't want to think about whose that other digimon you're facing off with. All I got to say is: I have faith in you, kid.) "What's going on, Beelezemon?" asked Ryo who was with Calumon & Cyberdramon, "Is the clouds getting worse?" "Well, let's just say, whatever this digimon is, Takato may not win! It's only a matter of time before he's defeated!" "Then we have to go & help him!" warned Ryo. "It's too dangerous," replied Beelezemon, "You go there & there's a 10% chance you'll survive! Let Takato handle this one!"

---Back to Action---

Takato was waiting for Ingermon to attack again, and so he did. "Desolation Destroyer!" the demon beast yelled out, but he couldn't lay a finger on him. Then the Super Tamer landed a kick to his face, but not before Ingermon grabbed & used his desolation destroyer & conked him in the chin. That's were Takato got angry. Then a blue fireball came from his fighting stanced hands & yelled, "ALMEKIA BLAST!" The fireball blast connected striking Ingermon's right arm. He screamed out loud as blood dripped from his destroyed arm. But, for some meraculous reason, he regenerated the arm. "Arrrr.......Why you little insulent......!"

---Kazu & Akiamon---

Akiamon was just a few feet from the area where Takato & Rika trained. "Here's the place!" informed Akiamon, "But where the sword?!" "There it is, Akiamon!" yelled Kazu pointing to it. The sword was stuck in the ground & the scabbard was on the ground. Kazu picked the D-Saber up & put it in the scabbard, then put it around his back. "Hang on, Kazu!" said Akiamon as Kazu jumped on his back, "Cause I'll be flying real fast! Nitro Wing!" His wings extended & they both flew through the portal.

----Back to Action----

Takato, who was still battling, sensed both Kazu & Akiamon coming back. (Hmmm.....There they are!) thought Takato moving only his eyes, (They're coming through the portal, they must of found the D-Saber!) Then he smiled as he turned his eyes back to Ingermon. (Now, all I have to do is, hold off helium head until they get here!)

"I admit, you're quite powerful for someone who's energy is wasting away!" said Ingermon. "Believe me, Ingermon!" yelled Takato, "I have a lot more energy than U know!" "You know, I thought you were just a kid! But I see that you're my equal! I should of aborsbed your data the moment you transformed!" Then Takato spat out a little bit of blood from his mouth as he saw Ingermon power up. "NOW......YOU'RE......MINE!" Suddenly, tentacles from his gut sprouted out & grabbed the Super Tamer by the arms & legs. "Hey!" yelled Takato, "What are you doing?!" "If I would of absorbed you during our battle, you be too fast," replied Ingermon, "Now, that your guard is down, you're all mine, now!"

"He's right!" said Takato struggling, "These tentacles are too strong for me to break!" Then The Digimon King was turned into a ball of energy & was sucked in Ingermon's body. "Takato!!!!!!" yelled Rika. "I don't believe it!" yelled Henry. "Neither can I!" yelled Jeri. "Takato, No!" shouted Guilmon. "It can't be!" said Renamon. "We're doomed now!" said Terriermon. "No kidding!" informed Leomon. "I agree!" yelled Gardomon. "Takato just got absorbed!" shouted Kaiba, "Now, nothing can stop Ingermon!" Just then, Kazu & Akiamon enter the scene. "Oh, no!" yelled Kazu. "We're too late!" yelled Akiamon.

Then Ingermon started a huge transformation, started to glow. Rika could only watch in horror as her boyfriend's life was over before it started..............

(Narrator: Ingermon's desperation was final! He absorbed not only Takato's information data, but Takato himself! What about this transformation?
