Digimon: Legend of the Holy Dragon

Chapter 14

DNA DIGIVOLUTION

The ground began shaking as dazzling blue and violet rays of light and energy exploded form Solardramon and Lunardramon. As the DigiTamers watched, the rays' outermost layer shattered to reveal intense beams of dark purple and indigo. The beams played across the sky in a spectacular display of lights before gathering and cocooning around the two Armour Digimon.

Both Lunardramon and Solardramon felt a raw anger flood their bodies. In a second, that anger had turned into something more complex, yet far simpler. Something far more dangerous…

Pure dark power.

As the two Digimon merged, their partners felt as if their bodies were being ripped apart and burnt in Desdemon's Fires of Hell. Unable to stand the pain, both collapsed and Kei let out a blood-curdling scream.

Rick and Sacchi were at their sides in a second. They watched helplessly as the other two shuddered and convulsed on the ground.

Suddenly, both Takeshi and Kei sat up. Simultaneously, they opened their eyes and Sacchi had to bite her lip to stop from screaming.

Both Kei and Takeshi's eyes were pure black and utterly expressionless.

At the same time, the DNA digivolution was completed. Sacchi and Rick heard Horusmon gasp and spun around to look.

A long dragon was coiled where Lunardramon and Solardramon were. It was a deep blue-violet and had silver specks scattered across its scales, which made one think of deep space. Multiple spikes decorated its long body and blood red and indigo flames ran down its back. Three straight black horns and two curved ones adorned its head.

But what immediately distinguished it as a dark Digimon was not its appearance, but aura it gave off. It had an aura of pure evil, darkness and death that could be felt by both human and Digimon within a 50-meter radius. In such close proximity to the dragon, the area felt almost like what Hell was probably like.

What was truly astonishing yet fully expected was that even Desdemon cowered at the dragon's ultimate darkness. As it trembled before the dragon, it recalled that it had never felt this terror, not even under the Holy Dragon's wrath. This was a whole new experience for it and it did not like it.

The dragon howled, and the sound was majestic yet terrifying. It was a chorus of all the chaos, pain and suffering from both the Digital and Real Worlds and whatever other Worlds there were.

Weakly, Rick raised a violently shaking hand and scanned the Digimon.

"Kakodramon, also known as the Chaos Dragon. The Holy Dragon's polar opposite. Extremely high-leveled Mega. Type unknown. Attacks: Chaos Nightmare, Reality, End of Earth." He read shakily.

"Oh god, is that really Kangamon and Shaulamon's DNA?" Sacchi asked in disbelief.

A little way apart, Horusmon was staggering.

What the heck is this…this creature!?! Shut up Vipermon…I can't focus my energy… …we can't fight that, Pekomon…nobody can… Oh that really helped, snaky. Besides…its still Kangamon and Shaulamon…right?

Suddenly, Kakodramon spoke in a voice that could freeze the sun and melt diamond at the same time.

"Reality."

In a split second, a wave of pain and suffering swept through all those in the vicinity. Horusmon screamed in the combined voices of Pekomon and Vipermon, Sacchi and Rick screamed and Desdemon howled in pain. From the area around them rose multiple screams and howls of pain.

The only ones unaffected were Kei and Takeshi. They sat in the middle of the chorus of pain, a strangely smug expression on their faces. Their eyes remained expressionless.

"Chaos Nightmare." Kakodramon said again in its terrible voice.

Immediately, the ground, trees, sky, everything turned into shades of black, gray and white. The world as they knew it disappeared, to be replaced by a desolate landscape. All through this, everyone kept on screaming.

Desdemon suppressed the pain with an effort. Gathering whatever strength he had left, he attacked Kakodramon.

"Fires of Hell!"

Four columns of black fire burst out from the ground and formed a tornado around Kakodramon. This attack had once made the Holy Dragon cry out in pain; in comparison, the Chaos Dragon was silent.

In a moment, the tornado burst apart and Kakodramon flew up into the sky, almost unscathed. Desdemon could not believe its eyes.

Kakodramon spoke. "Desdemon, you did not learn your lesson three hundred years ago, when my polar opposite the Holy Dragon defeated you by sacrificing itself. Have you not learned since then that your conquest for the ruling position of the Digital World would only cause death and destruction?"

Desdemon gave a feral growl in defiance.

"Very well, I shall have to stop you myself."

Blue and violet shimmered in the air around Kakodramon. The same shifting colours also surrounded Takeshi and Kei. Both of them stood up. Moving their arms and bodies in dance-like movements, they drew a large floating symbol of the earth in the air. The symbol pulsed with black light.

Kakodramon howled again and the symbol floated up before it. Using its forelegs, it drew another symbol over it, the symbol of destruction.

"End of Earth." Kakodramon, Kei and Takeshi said this in eerie unison.

Sacchi, Rick and Horusmon watched as the duo symbols shattered and the pieces landed on the ground. Immediately, the ground began to writhe and buckle beneath their feet.

Desdemon howled and opened a gate to its own Dark World, also known to some as the Dark Ocean. Turning to snarl at Kakodramon, it fled through the gate, which closed behind him.

Just as it did so, the entire Digital World shattered into a zillion fragments of data. Armageddon had arrived…

The End

TBC…

Author's notes: Ok, that's finally done… So how was it? The chapter wasn't very long, but hey, it's the end of the world! What do you expect me to write? So the story ends… Or does it? You guessed it, the story doesn't end here. Watch out for Legend of the Holy Dragon 2: The Fate of the World. It should be up in a month or two…hey, I need a break too!

Up next: The Fate of the World!! What happens after Armageddon?
