[b]Author's Note:[/b]
Always read the author's note! It will say if these is a chapter-specific
event that may offend some people, like the gay rape in chapter 13. There's
going to be things such as sex in upcoming chapters, so some of you may
want to avoid those. Not that I care, because I won't draw away from the
main plot, don't worry.
This is the last chapter in the first story arc. For those of you who
(amazingly) don't know what an arc is, it's a series of chapters or episode
in which there is a certain theme. IN the next arc, the story will take
another twist and develop more. Possibly introducing a new enemy...?
[b]Previously:[/b] Lee's father, the mayor, ordered a hunt for all Digimon. So that they wouldn't be seen, Earnest devised the plan of making sure everyone wears masks from now on when engaging in Digi-battles. Lee asked Alex out, who eagerly said yes, while Dragonmon evolved into MetalDragonmon for the first time! He went out of control like Gigadramon, but was eventually crushed by Omnimon! Now there's a real problem afoot.
[b]Heroes No More, Chapter Seventeen: Omnimentality[/b]
-------------------------------
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Bouncemon...Digivolve to..."
Bouncemon exploded with energy and began to spin around rapidly until he unfolded into a larger, black Digimon with four wheeled legs. His head extended out of his body and glanced around, before firing out of a cannon into the air.
"...RACERMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"TecKuwagamon!!! Digivolve to..."
TecKuwagamon glew with energy and expanded into an even larger creature. His pincered head melded into a helmet with flowing hair coming out of the back. His back legs disappeared and he lost all his metal skin, replaced by grayish scaly skin. Two cannons formed on his forearms and a long tail extended from his lower back. He finished forming and roared out.
"...GIGADRAMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
Gigadramon, MetalKyubimon, Racermon and Mikemon were are prepared to combat Omnimon. The Mega warrior looked at them condescendingly and grunted.
Lee looked at MetalDragonmon laying devasted and bleeding on the street below and gulped. "Be careful you guys!"
"Oh, Lee. How tough can he be?", asked Alex, jumping on his back, playfully.
As if to answer Alex's question, Omnimon leapt into action! He went for Gigadramon first, seeing as he's the biggest. Gigadramon swiped at him with one of his missile-firing hands, but missed, swinging it under Omnimon. Omnimon leapt up to his face and kicked him, sending him flying backwards! When far enough away, Gigadramon opened his cannons.
"So you want to play rough, eh? Gigabyte Wing!", he shouted, firing two missiles directly at Omnimon. He majestically dodged aside and the missiles flew past him exploding harmlessly in mid-air. Omnimon laughed heartily.
"Laugh it up!", shouted Mikemon leaping at him. Omnimon smashed her aside easily and she fell onto the ground. Leila flew upwards and tackled him, sending him flying forward to be smashed by Gigadramon's tail!
"Everyone attack now!", shouted Gigadramon. "Gigabyte Wing!"
"Dual Blasters!", screamed Leila, firing missiles out of her shoulder cannons.
"Paralysis Burst!", yelled Racermon, launching an electric blast at him. All the attacks collided and caused a chain explosion, with Omnimon stuck directly in the middle! All the Digimon backed off slightly.
"Yeah, stick that in your pipe and smoke it!", taunted Ace. Alex sighed and pushed him over.
Tai and Matt looked at the explosion, their expressions unchanged. Earnest wondered about that.
"Guys, I think he's still...", started Earnest. Omnimon leapt out of the smoke cloud and launched a devastating Supreme Cannon, nailing all four Digimon!!! They all crashed into the streets below.
"...alive.", finished Earnest.
"Aw man! Get up, guys!", shouted Arik. The four Digimon were totally dazed, unable to stand under their own strength. Of all of them, Racermon seemed to be in the best condition.
"Look, Racermon still has some strength!", pointed out Kevin.
"So? He's a mere Champion!", asked Arik. Kevin pointed at Arik's D-Volver.
"Fix that.", said Kevin.
"Oh. Ohhhhh!", said Arik, enlightened, he thrusted the D-Volver in Racermon's direction. "Racermon, Digivolve!!!"
{{{DIGIVOLUTION}}}
"Racermon, Digivolve to..."
Racermon lost his wheeled car form and grew into a green, armored humanoid Digimon. One of his arms is a laser cannon, and his chest is emblazoned with a red emblem. He extended a lazer sword from the cannon arm.
"...TECHAMON!!!"
{{{END DIGIVOLUTION}}}
Techamon stood about the size of Omnimon and leapt at him, extending his sword. Omnimon extended his as well and they began to have a swordfight.
"Alright! Go Techamon!", cheered Arik.
[i]Good... he'll buy the rest of us some time...[/i], thought Lee. "Gigadramon! Get up!!!"
Gigadramon, along with MetalKyubimon and Mikemon were too dazed to get up and needed recovery time.
"Crap. Techamon better be powerful...", muttered Lee.
Techamon slashed his sword at Omnimon, who countered the attack. He took a swing of his own, but Techamon leapt over it and brought the sword crashing down onto Omnimon's skull! Omnimon staggered for a minute, then smashed his sword into Techamon, knocking him over!
"...or he's not.", said Lee. "Guys! You have to get up!!!"
The other Digimon did not stir a muscle. Lee cursed and looked at the others, who seemed to have no better ideas than he did.
Omnimon threw Techamon into the air, knocking a streetlight over. The streetlight crashed into MetalDragonmon's head, where he was laying unconscious. His eyes opened and he saw Techamon in trouble. He looked up and saw Omnimon. He roared out and leapt at him.
"What the--", shouted a surprised Omnimon, not expecting this attack. He was tackled full-force and sent flying into the air. Gigadramon then leapt up and smashed him again, sending him headfirst into the street.
Leila, awake as well, targeted Omnimon, laying on the ground. "Dual Blasters!!!" The missiles all flew into him, creating a rather large explosion.
"The Digimon coordinated a surprise attack!", shouted Earnest, with glee.
"MetalDragonmon! So you're obedient now!", yelled Ace. MetalDragonmon nodded.
"A Digimon is only disobedient when it gets a huge power surge. Such as Digivolving to such a huge Digimon for the first time.", explained Alex. "Hence why Leila and Techamon weren't affected by this abnormality."
"Oh... I see.", said Ace. They looked back down to see all the Digimon cheer in triumph!
"We did it!", shouted Gigadramon.
"That's one more enemy defeated...", muttered Techamon.
"I don't think so!", shouted Matt. Everyone looked at Matt and Tai, who were still standing on the adjacent rooftop to them. Matt had is arms crossed, as if he was up to something. Tai looked rather bored.
"Matt, why don't we go, like, blow up some buildings or something?", asked Tai.
"No, Tai, our orders are to destroy these losers. THEN mindless destruction!", replied Matt.
"Oh, ok. Omnimon, get up. Finish them.", said Tai, wearily. Omnimon pulled himself out of the pavement. Though he looked roughed up, he was obviously still able to fight. The four Ultimate Digimon moved to confront him.
"Transcendent Sword!", he bellowed. He extended his sword from the WarGreymon arm and swung it around, knocking all four Digimon backwards! Gigadramon snarled and leapt at him again, only to be kicked in the head and sent flying through a building, which crumbled under the impact.
"Hey! Watch where you're kicking those guys!", gasped Matt. The building that was destroyed was only two buildings from him and Tai. MetalDragonmon flew at Omnimon, preparing to fire and attack.
"Then why don't I kick this one... that way!", shouted Omnimon. He kicked MetalDragonmon into the building that Lee and company were standing on. It started to collapse!
"Holy hell! Not again!", screamed Ace.
"Oh crap...", muttered Lee. Everyone scrambled to the side of the building that was highest in the air, because of it's toppling over. Earnest leapt over onto the neighboring building.
"Everyone! Jump!", shouted Earnest. Kevin jumped over and landed next to Earnest. Ace ran and leapt as far as he could, crashing into Earnest and then crashing right into the roof of the building. Arik was the shortest, so he was hesitant to leap.
"I... can't...", he whined. Alex and Lee looked at each other and picked Arik up. They threw him over, him landing on Kevin.
"Now you go!", shouted Alex.
"No! You first!", yelled Lee. Alex nodded and ran, leaping off the building and gripping onto the edge of the other one. Arik and Kevin pulled her up.
"Lee come on!", shouted Kevin.
"Alright... here goes nothing...", muttered Lee. He took a few steps back and then charged forward and leapt. But the building was too far away...
"He's not gonna make it!", gasped Arik.
"Oh no!", screamed Alex. "You're not gonna make it--"
---------------- "--Lee?", asked a man. The man was sitting in what appeared to be a dining room at the coffee table. He had blonde hair and was wearing a dress suit. The man he was talking to was none other than Father Flannigan.
"Yes, Lee. Lee is friends with one of those abominations you've ordered the hunt for.", said the Father. He sipped his drink, as the other man massaged his brow.
"Lee... my son, Lee...", gasped the man, "...is a... a..."
"A wicked little boy, mayor. You must discipline that child and ensure you destroy that monster.", said the father.
"That's exactly what I intend to do."
---------------- Alex leaned far over the building and grabbed Lee's wrist as he fell. Alex started to be dragged down by her waist, but Kevin grabbed her by the wrist, supporting her.
"Hey! Just where the hell do you think you're grabbing!?", shouted Alex.
"You want to fall or not?", grunted Kevin, attempting to pull her up. He was dragged over to the edge as well. Arik grabbed onto his stomach, and Ace and Earnest each grabbed Arik's legs as he started to fall over.
"This is bad...", muttered Lee, hanging onto Alex's arm. They looked like a little chain of human's dangling over the edge of a building, with Earnest and Ace at the top, struggling for the strength to pull them up.
"Look over there, Matt.", said Tai, nodding in their direction. "That's convenient."
"Indeed. Let's go.", replied Matt, as the two of them headed down the stairwell of the building they were standing on.
-- "Argh! Omnimon, you won't win!", shouted Techamon. He slashed his sword at Omnimon, who leapt up and then landed on the sword. Techamon looked at it in disbelief. He pointed his cannon directly at Techamon's head.
"Supreme--aiigh!", screamed Omnimon, as Leila sank her teeth into his arm. he cursed and struggled to get her off.
"Now let's try this again.", said Techamon, releasing his sword from the lazer arm. "Tech Saber!!!"
He plunged the sword through Omnimon's chest. The Mega level Digimon freaked out and smashed both Ultimates away. He clutched his wound and went down to street level.
"This is... impossible... I am... invincible...", he groaned.
"Yoo-hoo! Behind you!", shouted a voice. The weary Omnimon turned around to see Gigadramon and MetalDragonmon facing him.
"Gigabyte Wing!", shouted Gigadramon, firing missiles from his hands.
"Dragon Missile!", yelled MetalDragonmon at the same time, firing missiles from his chest plate.
"I-- Noooooo!", screamed Omnimon. All the missiles hit him and sent him catapulting down the street. He landed hard on the pavement and de- digivolved to both Agumon and Gabumon, who were unconscious.
"We... did it...", groaned Gigadramon, before he and MetalTyrannomon fell over from exhaustion.
-- "Come on... we have to pull them up...", grunted Ace, leaning back as far as he could, to put all his body weight on it. Earnest did the same thing, and they were beginning to get somewhere. Arik was halfway up, when suddenly, Tai and Matt were behind them.
"Hey boys.", said Tai. He and Matt punched Earnest and Ace directly in their faces, knocking them over. Arik frantically grabbed the edge, dangling Kevin, Alex and Lee below him.
"Are we gonna die?", asked Kevin.
"I think so.", replied Lee. Arik's hold on the building was firm, but Tai put his foot on Arik's left hand, and Matt on his right.
"Looks like this is your end, Chosen... dangling for your life with no where to run.", said Tai.
"Beg us, and maybe we'll spare you.", added Matt.
"Yeah, up your ass, you homo!", retorted Lee.
"Not smart.", said Matt. Suddenly, Ace and Earnest leapt up, grabbing the back of the Tai and Matt's necklaces, ripping them off! The two boys faded into the Desolate Server. Ace and Earnest pulled everybody up onto the roof and they all relaxed...
"It's amazing how Desiree's minions can always be defeated with the same tricks...", said Earnest.
"Yeah... well at least this battle is over. They can't get much tougher than that.", added Arik.
"Pfft. That's for sure. I'm amazed we survived that!", shouted Ace.
"Eh. Leave it to us.", said DemiTyrannomon. Ace smiled at him. When suddenly, a female voice spoke.
"Leave it to you alright!", she shouted. Everyone turned to see Desiree, James and Keramon on the next roof. They all jumped up and prepared for battle.
"Guys, battle positions!", shouted Lee. DemiTyrannomon, Mikemon, Leila, Kokuwamon and Bouncemon all leapt in front of him.
"I'm afraid that command has been delayed.", said Desiree. "SkullSatamon."
A grim looking Digimon that appeared to be a red skeleton with torn up wings leapt in front of the Digimon. He pointed a staff at them.
"Pentagram freeze!", he hissed. The five Digimon froze in their tracks, unmoving.
"Oh my god! What kind of magic is that?", asked Alex.
"It's SkullSatamon. An Ultimate Digimon who evolves from Devidramon. His specials attacks are Nail bone and Pentagram Freeze.", read Kevin, off his D-Volver.
"Heh heh. He said 'bone'.", giggled Ace. Alex smacked him over the head.
"Shut up, pink mask boy.", said Alex.
"What do you want, Desiree?", asked Lee, being cautious of the grinning SkullSatamon directly in front of him. "We defeated your little boy-toys!"
"Yes... I'm not here to start a fight actually... but to bring you some news that I recently discovered... and it means doom for all...", started Desiree, evilly.
