The DigiSword

Chapter 10: Neo-Emperor's Weapon

"You have summoned me, my liege?" asked a dark figure.

"Yes. My new toy. Is it coming along smoothly?"

"Of course, my liege. The data of MaloMyotismon is being collected as we speak. However, I am curious to your plan, sire. What is it that you need with his data?"

"Plenty," answered Neo-Emperor. "You will find out what it is soon enough. Right now, I want you to send my army of dark clones to the real world. I will be here, working on my new weapon that will destroy the Digidestined children, and avenge Daemon."

"My liege, I will obey your every command." With that, the dark figure disappeared.

~~The Real World~~

"You take the reciprocal of x, divide it into our fraction and you find the overlapping values of a and b. Isn't that peachy?"

"This class takes way too long," thought Davis, watching the clock. Seconds seemed like minutes. Minutes seemed like hours...

"MR. MOTIMIYA!"

"Huh?"

"Can you give us the value of q?"

"Umm...heh...uh...it's 0?"

"Very good, Davis. I'm glad to see that you're paying attention." Davis looked stunned and sweatdropped.

After math, Davis and Ken walked to the cafeteria. "Nice work with the problem back there," Ken smiled.

"Yeah. Um, can you explain it again?" Davis asked nervously. Ken face palmed.

"Davis! Ken! Come sit here with us!" called Yolei when Davis and Ken had gotten their lunches. She and Cody were already at a table. The two boys shrugged and sat with them.

"So what's the story on Kari and TK?" asked Cody.

"It's not going so well," sighed Ken. "Some force is blocking our transmittance into the Dark Ocean. We don't know if they're alive or not."

"And with creeps like Daemon lurking around there, who knows what'll happen to them?" said Davis.

"Actually, I doubt if Daemon was any threat to them," commented Ken.

"WHAT?!" asked everyone, making the entire cafeteria stare at them. Ken sweatdropped. "Um...Davis lost his soccer game," he hastily replied. The lunchroom went back to its normal business.

"I have NEVER lost a soccer game!" yelled Davis, a vein appearing on his forehead. *Hehe, Anime is so funny!

"Yes you have. Against Ken," Cody smiled. Davis sulked a bit.

"So, what did you mean that Daemon wasn't a threat?" asked Yolei.

"I can't explain it, but when that fog surrounded me, I felt him. It was his voice, and he seemed, well, weak."

"Him? WEAK?!" Davis thought aloud.

"Yes. Somehow, TK and Kari managed to defeat him. He then escaped here, but was seriously weakened, and picked me as his target."

"But why you, Ken?" asked Cody.

"The dark spore. He wanted it. I feel that he ceases to exist now, for his data was all jumbled up and now is combined with that of the spore. Using the incredible power of darkness, he then resurrected my dark self, the Digimon Emperor. However, with Daemon's power, My guess is that he gave this new emperor new power. The power to copy the data off of Digimon, so that they have no feelings or emotions. They only have power, more power than our own digimon."

"So you're saying that Daemon is the Neo-Emperor?" asked Yolei.

"To a certain extent, yes," Ken sighed. "However, Daemon now ceases to exist except in history. He used his remaining strength to come back to the real world, and used his data to amplify the darness within my spore. However, he not only did that, but actually got the spore out of my system to create a whole NEW being."

"Holy Crap!" Davis gasped.

"I realize my explnation is a tad unprovable, but it is a valid theory."

"Not your explanation, Ken, but that!" Davis gaped, pointing out the window. The other three turned and gasped. Standing right ourside the door was a digimon. Not just any digimon, however. It was a blast from the past.

"It's KIMERAMON!" yelled Yolei. Sure enough, the combination digimon had shown his ugly face in the Real World.

"Who's that on his shoulder?" asked Cody. It was another digimon, but the four had never fought him. Screams could be heard throughout the school, the principal telling everyone to evacuate. The four digidestined met up with Tai and the others. "Kimeramon's back!" yelled Davis.

"We noticed," muttered Izzy. "But a real surprise is the one riding on his shoulder."

"Who IS that?" asked Yolei.

"An old enemy we know all too well," Matt said through his teeth. "Devimon..." The dark digimon flew down to where the nine digidestined stood.

"Greetings, Digidestined," he laughed. "I do believe you recognize me. Especially you, Ken Ichijouji."

"I remember you," Ken gasped. "In that whirlpool. You were there! You were the one who caused it and made TK go ballistic!"

"Well, I don't believe your friend will go ballistic anymore," laughed Devimon. "For I do believe he's perished." Everyone's faces fell.

"NO WAY!" yelled Matt. "I refuse to believe you!"

"Then what's this," snickered Devimon, holding up a white fisherman's hat. "Your friend got in an unfortunate incident with a Dokugumon. I do believe this is his?" Tears filled Ken and Cody's eyes. Sora and Yolei's too. "TK...is really...gone?" sobbed Sora.

"TK," Tai muttered. "You can't be. If you're gone, then who's there to protect Kari? TK, I'm sorry you never knew how she felt..."

"You will pay for what you did to him!" yelled Davis.

"I never did anything," laughed Devimon. "You see, the poor fool was walking in the Digital World, when he got hit with a Poison thread from a Dokugumon. It is seldom that one lives through that." Yolei shivered at the name Dokugumon. He was the one that almost killed Hawkmon the year before.

"No matter, children! Your bearer of Hope is DEAD! Now, NeoEmperor's new pet will take care of you!" A roar from Kimeramon confirmed this. "I will see you later, chaps," laughed Devimon, who disappeared right then. "Heat Viber!" (Is that his attack?) yelled Kimeramon. A blast of energy erupted from Kimeramon's mouth. Everyone ran out of the way as the energy left a crater in the middle of the street.

"Come on, we have to lead him away from people!" yelled Tai.

"We can take care of that!" said Davis. "Veemon!"

"Yes Davith?" asked the blue dragonlike digimon. He looked up at Kimeramon and almost fainted. "Um, so what's up?"

"We need to lead Kimeramon away from the city. He can do major damage here!"

"Okay then! I'm ready!"

"DIGIARMOR ENERGIZE!"

"Veemon armor digivolve to...RAIDRAMON, THE STORM OF FRIENDSHIP!" Davis got on the armor digimon.

"THUNDER BLAST!" yelled Raidramon. Blue lightning came out of his horn and hit Kimeramon.

"HEY SLOWPOKE! DOWN HERE!" yelled Davis. Kimeramon looked down at the boy and the digimon.

"Catch us if you can!" yelled Raidramon, who turned and ran. Kimeramon saw red as he chased them.

"He's not going alone," said Tai. "But we're gonna need to go pretty fast, so Greymon is out of the picture. And so is Ikkakumon and Ankylomon."

"No problem," Yolei smiled. "Cody can ride with me on Aquilamon, while Joe can go with Sora on Birdramon. And Tai, you can ride on Garurumon."

"Then it's settled," said Ken. "Ready?"

"Yes!" yelled all the digimon. *Yes, they were there!

"Gabumon digivolve to...Garurumon!"

"Biyomon digivolve to...Birdramon!"

"Tentomon digivolve to...Kabuterimon!"

"Hawkmon digivolve to...Aquilamon!"

"Wormmon digivolve to...Stingmon!"

"Okay, guys, let's follow 'em!" commanded Tai. The group took off on their digimon.

Meanwhile, Raidramon was doing his best to dodge all of Kimeramon's attacks.

"Aw, man. This guy's fast!" yelled Davis.

"No time. I think we're almost out of the city," said Raidramon. The two had right then gotten out of Odaiba to an abandoned district of Tokyo.

"Heat Viber!" the blast from Kimeramon was enough to knock Raidramon off his feet.

"Damn it," muttered Davis.

"BLAST RING!" "ELECTRO SHOCKER!" "HOWLING BLASTER!" All three attacks hit Kimeramon and knocked him back.

"Time for Digmon!" yelled Cody. "DIGIARMOR ENERGIZE!"

"Armadillomon armor digivolve to...Digmon, the Drill of Power!"

"Agumon, you digivolve too," commanded Tai.

"Agumon digivolve to...Greymon!"

"Get ready Gomamon," said Joe.

"Gomamon digivolve to...Ikkakumon!"

"GOLD RUSH!" "NOVA BLAST!" "HARPOON TORPEDO!" "SPIKING STRIKE!" Both attacks hit Kimeramon. "Heat Viber!" he yelled, a blast erupting from his mouth, knocking back all the digimon.

"Hey guys! Look at this!" yelled Izzy, opening his laptop. "I found that even though Kimeramon shares the components of many digimon, its level is technically an ultimate!"

"So if we team up our ultimate attacks, it'll be enough to destroy him?" asked Sora.

"It's worth a shot," said Ken. He nodded at Davis, who nodded at Raidramon. "Okay, get ready to Digivolve!" he told him. Raidramon nodded and reverted back to Veemon. "DIGIVOLVE!"

"Veemon digivolve to...Exveemon!"

"Everyone else, you digivolve too!" yelled Tai.

"Greymon digivolve to...Metal Greymon!"

"Garurumon digivolve to...WereGarurumon!"

"Birdramon digivolve to...Garudamon!"

"Kabuterimon digivolve to...MegaKabuterimon!"

"Ikkakumon digivolve to...Zudomon!"

"Exveemon!" "Stingmon!" "DNA digivolve to...Paildramon!"

"This is for TK!" yelled Tai. "ATTACK!!"

"Giga Blaster!" "Wolf Claw!" "Wing Blade!" "Horn Buster!" "Vulcan's Hammer!" "Desperado Blaster!" "Blast Ring!" "Gold Rush!" All eight attacks hit home, as Kimeramon shrieked and was digitized.

"And that's that!" smiled Yolei.

"So, TK's dead now," cried Matt, still remembering the bad news that had come up. "My little brother. He's never done any wrong."

"Matt, I'm so sorry," sighed Sora. "But TK is one of the strongest people I have ever met. And I'm sure you're very proud of him."

"I don't know how to break it to Ms. Takaishi," said Tai. "But you'll be there. That damn Neo-Emperor, killing my sister's best friend! I REALLY wanna know what happened to her in the Digital World, especially after TK died."

"Wait a minute! Did you say the DIGITAL WORLD?" asked Izzy, wide-eyed.

"Yeah, you seem surprised," said Sora.

"DON'T YOU GET IT? THE DIGITAL WORLD! TK AND KARI WERE SENT TO THE DARK OCEAN, AND THEY MUST'VE FOUND A WAY TO ESCAPE!"

"And if there's a way to get out of the Dark Ocean, then there has to be a way out of the Digital World!" exclaimed Davis. "Kari can still escape."

"I dunno," sighed Tai. "If TK's gone, then Kari's bound to be devastated."

"But she can still escape, can't she?" asked Sora.

"I don't know if she'll want to. After she disappeared, I looked through her diary for some clue. And then I saw it. Kari...she loved him. She loved TK. It said right there in pink ink, 'I love him'."

"So, you're saying she might not want to get out because of TK's death," said Izzy. Tai nodded. "Come on, guys," he sighed. "Let's go home, guys."

~~Neo-Emperor's Palace~~

"So, they have been able to digivolve to their ultimate levels," snickered the emperor. "Well, this may prove to be quite a challenge. I cannot clone digimon of that strength."

"My liege," said a voice. It was Phantomon.

"Ah, Phantomon. Is the girl locked up?" asked Neo-Emperor.

"Yes, master."

"And what of her digivice, crest, and D-terminal?"

"Right here, sir," said LadyDevimon, bringing the three accesories to him.

"My liege," came another voice. It was Devimon. "Malomyotismon's data has been collected."

"Good," said the emperor, picking up the crest of Light. "It will take approximately 2 months to build my weapon. I wish it could be shorter, but the wait will be worth it. Until then, I will keep sending my clones to the Real World to keep those fools occupied. Ah, Hikari Kamiya. You will have the honor of watching your friends perish!"
