Chapter Five

Out With a Bang!!!

Time slowed down as my Magical Game attack sped toward Dark Angemon. I prayed that it would connect. I had used most of my energy and felt the effects wearing in. The ball bounced in front of Dark Angemon. In an attempt to avoid it, he leapt to the right. Finally, Apocalypmon was left alone. The ball, still stationary curved to the left and ripped a moderate sized hole through the lone demon. I felt a smile cross my face. Before I passed out, I saw the fear in Apocalypmon's face. His body slowly disappeared in a burst of black dust. A small smirk appeared over Dark Angemon's face as he assumed power and destroyed his masters golden cube.

I woke up. It was like a dream. I still remained in the Tsukidairumon barren village, but my stave was still there. The crystal was now blue and red as my stave had a golden aurora to it. The red crystal meant I had Marine Devimon's spirit and the blue meant I had Blue Meramon's spirit. I got up and brushed myself off. Not that much happened. The village was quiet and it was now dark outside. I had only to wait. I figured that if Dark Angemon had freedom, then he would be after me. His power would be unlimited seeing as how no one was there to boss him around.

************************************************************************************

Several days had passed. I was now in the Industrial City. Smog and smoke filled my lungs as every moment I bumped into a Kokuwamon or a Giromon. I was lost, as usual, and had the slightest clue as of where to find this portal or how to stop the Digital World from deleting itself. One building seemed to stand out from the rest, so I walked in. Draped over the front was a dark red D or a black background. I slipped through the doors and watched as two Gaurdromon stepped forward.

"State your business with D," the first Gaurdromon spoke.

"U-uhm... oh yeah, I, uhhm... have a delivery." That was the idea. I never realized how smart I was until I was able to think on my toes.

"What are ya deliverin'?" the second Gaurdromon chimed in.

"I'm delivering hats."

I took my hat off, revealing my weak, dry, white hair. I fixed my cape in embarrasment, then stepped forward. The two Gaurdromon escorted me to two large doors behind the receptionist desk. They both smiled at the Clockmon behind the desk and continued. I was left at the two doors and watched as the two Digimon walked away.

Okay, I thought to myself I go in... stern, with authority. That's right. I go in and ask him, gently... but not to gently if he has seen any portals around lately. He has to have seen some. This is one of the biggest cities left. Someone must've seen something. Okay time to talk with the head honcho...

I clenched my staff and put my ruffled hat back on. Stepping through the doors, I was met with a large, oak desk with a dark violet chair behind it. The chair was turned so I didn't know who was behind it. I stepped forward again.

"U-Uhm, sir?" I cleared my throat and stepped forward again, pressing against the top of the desk." Ya seen any portals lately. I'm trying to leave the Digital World before it's gone, and I was wondering... if ya seen any letely?"

Silence.

The chair slowly turned. I met with the bony skull of a SkullSatamon. His bony legs sat crossed as he reached forward and leaned against the desk in amusement. "Poor lil' Wizardmon. You thought you killed me, didn't you."

I didn't know what he was talking about. I stepped back and fell on my bottom. "W-who are you?"

He stepped up and leapt in front of his desk. Leaning inches from my face, he smiled." Don't you recognize an Apocalypmon when you see one. Because of you, I was reverted back from my Mega form to my ultimate form. Because of you, I am second rate to that damned Dark Angemon. Because of you, I almost was killed and can't muster up enough power to digivolve back."

He stood up and smiled again. "I have no use for living. I also want Dark Angemon to die. So I should kill you and get it over with." He lifted up his staff, inches from my face." Nail Bone!"

The beam lifted me off of my feet and threw me through the wall. I collapsed over the Clockmon and got up. I quickly scrambled to my staff, but met with another Nail Bone Attack.

"Magical Game."

The energy ball flew past SkullSatamon and encircled him. I used it as a diversion so I could get to my stave and digivolve. I dove forward and rolled onto my feet. Holding the stave up, I yelled.

"Wizardmon Digivolve to...."

I met with the laughter of my opponent. He had destroyed the energy ball and pointed to the cieling. MetalBotamon scurried across the top, their tails a glow. "You can't digivolve due to their jamming system."

I held my palm to the ceiling." Magical Game." In several sparks of electricity, MetalBotamon fell. I glanced up and watched as small pieces of the cieling fell with the micro Digimon. My hand slipped and I dropped my stave. The crystal fell out as I reached for it. I grabbed the handle and tried slipping the crystals into the holder. It didn't seem to fit. I glanced at the large gap and saw a MetalBotamon in the slot.

The Digimon slowly beeped, then disappeared in black dust. I noticed a recoloring in the dust. It went from a light black to a silver. The silver dust particles slowly reformed into a diamond shape, fitting nicely in my staff. I smiled happily and picked it up. Skull Satamon lifted up a larger pat of the cieling and stepped forward.

"Damn this body..," he laughed.

Looking up, he noticed a small amount of Metal Botamon." They can still jam your system... fool."

I held up my staff and gave off a slight sqeak in enjoyment. "Wizardmon digivolve to... Andromon."

This must've been my Earth evolution. I stepped forward and looked at my body. I seemed more human than when I was a Wizardmon. "Lightning Blade."

I spun my right hand rapidly. The speed picked up as a felt blue sparks dance about my fingers. I reached back and threw my arm in a pitch. A large blade flew forward, slicing Skull Satamon's arm off. It fell limp to the ground and exploded in black dust. I gave him another Lightning Blade and watched as he slammed against the window behind his chair. It slowly cracked in half, dropping small shards of glass.

"Gattling Missile."

I thrust my chest foward. The chest plates on my body opened up, launching two fish- disguised missiles. One of them spun out of control and turned back to me. I ducked in time to watch it slam against the wall. A large amount of blakc dust appeared, meaning I had killed the two Gaurdromon and the Clockmon. The other missile rammed itself into Skull Satamon. His whole body disappeared, leaving only his head.

"I knew you had potential... I just didn't know how much."

In a black crack of lightning, Skull Satamon had reverted back to his Fresh form, Zuramon. The yellow Digimon with only two red eyes and an evil snare bounced about. The window cracked and broke apart. I watched as he jumped from the large window and as black dust arose from outside. Apocalypmon, the grand master, had taken his life. He, finally, had been defeated.

I turned to my stave and the red and blue crystal. I glanced at the silver crystal that stood on the top. The three crystals shrunk and fused together. I picked up the silver, blue, and red crystal and placed it atop the staff. I gently picked up the staff with my Andromon hands and reverted back to Wizardmon. I was one step closer to finding the portal and escaping this Hell.
