Digimon Tamers Chapter 8: Fall Of The Pharaoh
"Ruki!" Ryo ran after her, the other Tamers standing, goggling.
"Cerberumon? Are you...... Oh my gosh!" Minami stared in horror at the thing looming over them all. It was enormous. Its body was made of grey and gold steel. Instead of hands, two sickles protruded from each arm. His face was covered in a metal mask, but his eyes glowed a burning red. It stood still.
"Ruki!" Ryo threw himself over her and checked to make sure if she was still alive. She was breathing, but it was short. He checked Kyuubimon. She too was breathing. Tears started to develop in his eyes. "You'll be okay," he whispered softly to her. "Hey guys, I think they're.."
"Ryo! WATCH OUT!" Takato yelled. Reapermon had raised one of his sickles at the Ryo, Ruki, and Kyuubimon. Cyberdramon and Cerberumon rushed forward and snatched them just as the blade hit the spot.
"Thanks!" Ryo acknowledged Cerberumon and Cyberdramon as they set them down near the other Tamers.
Pharaohmon stood up, cackling hauntingly. "Yes! Reapermon! I have given you life! Now, as your first order, I command you to destroy these brats!" Reapermon shifted towards them.
"But I thought he wasn't powerful enough to control him!" Jenrya yelled out.
"I thought so too! If he is able to control him, then it won't last for long!" Cerberumon said, eyeing Pharaohmon suspiciously.
Reapermon advanced on them. "No! We have to defeat him! Guilmon, Bioemerge!!!"
"Guilmon! Bioemerge Evolution to: Dukemon!"
"You too, Terriermon!"
"Terriermon! Bioemerge Evolution to: SaintGargomon!
'Let's do it Cyberdramon!"
"Cyberdramon! Bioemerge Evolution to: Justimon!"
"Royal Joust!"
"Gargo Barrage!"
"Justice Kick!"
The attacks were directed at Reapermon. He was knocked off course for a bit, but that was all. "Bone Duster!" A huge cloud of fire rose to meet the Mega Digimon. They were engulfed in it, and fell to the ground.
"Takato!!!!!" Juri screamed.
"No, Takato!" Guardromon! Uh - Matrix Evolve?" Suddenly a light emerged from Hirokazu's Digivice. It hit Guardromon.
"Guardromon! Matrix Evolve to: Andromon! Gatling Arm!" Two missiles shot out from his arms.
"MarineAngemon!"
"Aqua Bubble!"
"GRRRRR!" Cerberumon growled. "Hell Ice!"
"Antylamon! Go!"
"Bunny Pummel!"
The attacks did little help.
"Bone Duster!" The remaining Digimon were surrounded by another cloud of fire.
"Antylamon! Are you alright???" Suchien called.
Anytlamon slowly got to her feet. 'I must protect her!' she thought.
"How are we going to defeat this guy?" Takato yelled.
"We just have to try! SaintGargomon! Fight it!"
"Gargo Missiles!"
"Elaysion Blade!"
"Hand of Justice!"
"Aqua Bubble!"
"Gatling Arm!"
"Bunny Pummel!"
"Order of Death!"
One by one, the attacks were flung at Reapermon. "Bone Duster!!!!!"
The Digimon had become exhausted from the continuous attacks by Reapermon. They could not withstand another blow.
"We can't give up, Dukemon!" Takato yelled.
Reapermon laughed, a low, raspy chuckle. Pharaohmon stood nearby. "What are you waiting for fool? Destroy them!" Reapermon stopped laughing and stood still. "Well, get on with it!" Pharaohmon yelled. Reapermon turned to him, his eyes blazing. "I gave you an order!" Pharoahmon's voice shook with fear.
"I take orders from no one!" he howled, raising his sickle.
"You can't do this! I gave you life!!! I revived you from the grave!!!!"
"Now I shall do you a favor!" He brought down his sickle, hard and fast.
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" Pharaohmon howled, splitting into millions of pieces of data.
Jenrya gulped loud. "Well, that took care of one of our problems!" his voice shaking.
"Dukemon, now's our chance! Attack!" Dukemon leapt forward, accompanied by Justimon and plunged into the armour of Reapermon.
"Royal Joust!!!"
"Hand of Justice!!!"
He staggered back and fell to the ground. "Yeehaw, Justimon! We caught him off guard!" Ryo shouted.
But Reapermon wasn't subdued for long. He thrust himself up, and swiped the two back into a mass of sand.
The remaining Digimon flung their attacks at him, but they proved little assistance.
"Now this time has come for you all to suffer!" he yelled.
Ruki opened her eyes slightly. Seeing the devastation, she jerked them open. Minami stood beside her. "Ruki! Are you okay?"
"Huh? Minami?" "Long time no see! Yep, it's me!"
Ruki looked pleased to see her again, but then spied Kyubimon still unconscious. She rushed over and laid her head in her hands. "Kyubimon! Wake up, please! Wake up!"
She stirred a little and finally opened her eyes. "Ruki? Is that you?"
"Yes, it is! Are you alright?" she whispered.
"Yes.....I....suppose. I'm sorry you had to go through this Ruki," she answered wearily.
"Don't worry. We're in it together." She made a motion to move her head, but Ruki laid it back down. "You need to rest."
Kyubimon turned her eyes to the battle. She gasped. "Oh my god! What is going on?"
"It's Reapermon," said Minami answering quickly.
It took a moment for this name to register in her mind, but Kyubimon finally recognized it. "The old tomb! The beast within it has been resurrected!" She paused. "Do you realize Ruki? I'm the cause of all this! I was the one who resurrected it!"
"Kyubimon, you can't blame yourself! You couldn't help being captured by them!"
"Ruki! Ruki!" Juri and Suchien ran up to them. "Are you alright?" asked Juri.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she lied. Kyubimon, struggling, finally got up. Ruki managed to stand.
"Let me help you up." Juri rushed to help her.
"Kyubimon, I know it may sound crazy, but we have to Bioemerge."
"I know."
"Are you crazy? You die!" Minami shouted over loud clashes of battle.
"Kyubimon, ready?"
"Whenever you are, Ruki."
"Bioemerge Activate!"
"Kyubimon, Bioemerge to: Sakuyamon! Let's go!" So they raced into battle.
"Ruki! What are you doing?" Justimon shouted as she came into view.
"I thought you needed some help!" she answered.
"But - You're -"
"Oh, I can manage!" she replied with a chuckle. "Amethyst Mandala!" This sent a wave of data at Raepermon, knocking him back.
"Now, everyone attack!!!" Dukemon yelled.
"Frozen Hell!"
"Bunny Blaze!"
"Gatling Arm!"
"Aqua Bubble!"
"Justice Blade!"
"Gargo Barrage!"
"Fox Spirits!"
"Royal Joust!"
Reapermon howled in pain and crumpled to the sand.
"We did it!" Takato shouted.
"Yes!" Ruki celebrated.
"Don't be happy just yet!" Minami said.
"What do you mean?" Suchien asked. "The big mean guy has gone!"
"No, not yet." Then a deafening noise filled the air. Hundreds of sand tornados encircled the Digimon. WHOOSH!
They were sent flying and then brought to the ground. They lost their Mega and Ultimate forms, returning to the sand.
"Terriermon!" Jenrya yelled, scraping the beaten bunny into his arms.
"Monodramon!" Ryo bent over his dino-type rookie.
Reapermon advanced on them, towering over them like a mountain.
"Labramon! Are you okay?" Minami rushed to her dog-type Digimon. "Oh Labramon, please be alright!"
"I'm sorry, Minami. I tried, but, couldn't. Minami, sorry I couldn't protect you." He closed his eyes and sighed.
"NOOOOO!!!!! Labramon!!!!" Tears streamed down her face. Takato looked on as he held a battle-scarred Guilmon in his arms. She laid Labramon down and stood up, grasping her glowing, silver D-Arc. She thrust it into the air. "I'll not let you take him!!!"
A blast emitted from her D-Arc sending a wave of light throughout the area. Suddenly, she felt two hands gripping hers. It was Takato. "We can do this, Minami!"
A purple haze sprout from the two digivices surrounding Labramon and Guilmon.
"Ruki!" Ryo ran after her, the other Tamers standing, goggling.
"Cerberumon? Are you...... Oh my gosh!" Minami stared in horror at the thing looming over them all. It was enormous. Its body was made of grey and gold steel. Instead of hands, two sickles protruded from each arm. His face was covered in a metal mask, but his eyes glowed a burning red. It stood still.
