[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
The Monster is Named Virus! Cyberleomon's Folly!
Cyberleomon stood there with a shocked look on his face as he was witnessing something that he has never seen before. He watched as the creature cupped his hands in the air and was chanting a familiar attack that Leomon could easily recognize. He could easily sense a power from War Greymon within the creature.
"Are you getting scared, Leomon? Don't worry. This will be quick. I can almost guarantee you."
"I don't believe this! How is this possible?!"
A large fiery sphere was forming in the monster's hands. The energy ball was slowly getting bigger and bigger as the seconds pass by. Cyberleomon was still in disbelief at what he was seeing right before his very eyes and he stood frozen like a statue.
"Terra…"
"But how is he able to contain some of War Greymon's energy within his being?! How is he able to form the Terra Force attack?! This is just insane!"
The creature smiled and then launched his arms forward to release the energy ball at Cyberleomon.
"FORCE!!!!"
[Digimon 02 "Break Up!" theme plays]
Cyberleomon watched as the energy ball was hurtling right towards him. Cyberleomon managed to maneuver away from the attack just seconds right before it would engulf him alive. Cyberleomon flies up into the air and looked down to see the Terra Force attack penetrate right through the ground. A huge explosion occurred which really set off the landscape.
Cyberleomon looked down to see the smoke clear away after the explosion was starting to clam a little more. Cyberleomon turned around as he felt a strong energy level right behind him. He gasped when he saw the creature from right behind. The creature flies right at Cyberleomon and throws in several punches right at him. Cyberleomon managed to maneuver away from each punch being thrown but they were becoming very rapidly fast for even Cyberleomon to even dodge.
"He's a lot quicker than I thought! I can't let my guard down! If I make any kind of a mistake, I'm done for!"
Cyberleomon flies backwards and shoots out several ki-blasts right at the creature, but it was able to maneuver away from each blast. The creature fired away his own ki-blasts as form of retaliation. Cyberleomon quickly phases out and reappears right above the creature. Cyberleomon extends a hand out and began powering up. A large ki-blast came flying down towards the creature as if he had a target locked on him. Cyberleomon watched as the blast barely nailed the creature as the creature managed to maneuver away just the last second.
"He dodged my attack!"
The creature flies right up at Cyberleomon and decks him right in the face with a closed fist. Cyberleomon's head goes bouncing back but Cyberleomon was able to return the favor as he decked the creature right in the face with a tightly closed fist. The creature goes flying back with his face caved in from the impact of the hard punch. The creature quickly regains his composure and quickly phases out.
The creature reappears right behind Cyberleomon and grabs him. He holds Cyberleomon in a full-nelson type of maneuver and began flying towards a fiery wall left from the devastation. Cyberleomon watched in horror as he watched himself about to get rammed into the fiery wall that could to his own death.
Cyberleomon let out a roar as he felt his energy increase tremendously to add to the increase of his own strength. His power up led him to releasing himself out of the creature's evil grasp. The creature felt as the aura of light forming around Cyberleomon was actually pushing him back with tremendous force.
"Cyber Blade!!"
Cyberleomon pulls out a long blade and tossed it right towards the creature. Luckily, the creature saw the blade coming right for him and was able to dodge it as he quickly phased out of the way. Cyberleomon turned to see the creature ready to attack him from behind yet again. The creature held out his hands and the palms of his hands started to open up like hatchets. Then out of nowhere, two missiles came launching out from each palm.
"Giga Missiles!"
To Cyberleomon's surprise, this attack that the creature unleashed was one of Metal Garurumon's most powerful attacks. Cyberleomon shot out several ki-blasts to easily take out the launched missiles with ease. Each of the missiles was taken out with ease from the ki-blasts unleashed by Cyberleomon.
Then as a result of these blasts being fired to take out even from some of the simplest looking missiles left a large cloud of smoke. Cyberleomon had a hard time trying to look through the thick, black cloud of smog. Suddenly, he felt the energy level from the creature quickly disappear. Did Cyberleomon really destroy the monster that easily?
Cyberleomon watched as the smoke cleared away but he wasn't able to look at what was behind him. The creature slowly crept up from behind Cyberleomon. Suddenly, the creature easily latched himself onto Cyberleomon without the heroic digimon knowing. Cyberleomon was now unable to break free as the creature held his arms tightly around Cyberleomon as if he were a boa constrictor squeezing his prey. He would indeed constrict the hell out of Cyberleomon but of course wouldn't eat him, unless he wanted to.
"I got you now, Leomon! There's no escape from this! Even my great strength is too much for even you to handle. So don't tell me, that you have a way to escape this predicament! There's no chance for escape, Leomon!"
Cyberleomon attempted to break free by using his upper body strength but the more he resisted, the more pain was given to him as a result of being squeezed tightly by the creature himself.
"Damn! I can feel my whole body being crushed! I don't think I can somehow survive this! But I can't give up now! I must win this battle and ensure victory for the Digi-Destined! I won't allow myself to be defeated, guardians! I can solely guarantee you that!"
The creature tightened his grip around Cyberleomon and began to listen to his victim's bones starting to crack. Cyberleomon let out a horrifying roar while his body was slowly being crushed by the tremendous strength of the creature's grasp. Cyberleomon let out another horrifying cry and it began to echo across the entire landscape.
***************************************************************************************
Azulongmon and the other guardians quickly began to sense the energy level of Cyberleomon quickly depleting because of this one battle. Azulongmon now feared for the worst.
"Azulongmon, I understand why your starting to worry," Gennai said, "Even with your borrowed powers, Cyberleomon doesn't even stand a chance against this new threat."
"I do not like the looks of this," Azulongmon replied, "This creature is even a lot more powerful with all the borrowed powers he seems to be containing within his being. He had just used the patented attacks of those of War Greymon and Metal Garurumon, two of the mightiest megas."
"If only we would lend a hand," Baihumon said.
"I'm afraid that even with our combined powers, we're still not strong enough to fend off this new foe," Zhuiqaomon said, "He's certainly beyond our powers comprehension. For example, he isn't even a digimon, which makes it harder for us to contain any kind of power to destroy it."
"Its up to the Digi-Destined," Xuanwamon said, "If anybody stands any kind of a chance to stop this threat, it shall be them. In fact, they have fusion digimon on their sides."
"But even they are unable to beat the artificials at this moment," said Gennai.
"The artificials aren't even considered a threat now since I believe this creature itself is more lethal than the three artificials put together. I best advise the Digi-Destined to put their focus more on this creature," replied Azulongmon.
"But what about Leomon?" asked Gennai.
"Do not worry. He's not done yet. If I know him, then he won't be defeated that easily," Azulongmon said, "But he must watch himself. One mistake and then it will all be over for him."
**************************************************************************************
The creature kept his grasp onto Cyberleomon and listened as more bones were starting to crack as a result of being constricted by the tremendous strength of the monster.
"Yes… I can feel you bones breaking and I can feel your energy level depleting. Your end has now come, Leomon."
Cyberleomon let out another angry cry and it echoed throughout the entire landscape and could even be heard from many miles away. This would indeed come to help him rather than hurt him.
**************************************************************************************
The loud roar echoed and could even be heard through a long distance away, which easily caught the attention of both Dimitri and Davis as their digimon heard Cyberleomon's cries. Xveemon and Magna Angemon felt an energy level depleting and they knew first hand that it was their comrade, Leomon.
"Dimitri! I can feel Leomon's energy depleting! I fear for the worse to come if we don't make it to Shinjuku as soon as possible."
"We better hurry! Come on Davis, let's get a move on!"
"Yeah! You hear that Xveemon? We got a rescue mission on our hands!"
"Loud and clear, fasten your safety belts!"
Both digimon boosted their speed energy as they began to quickly travel across the long distance that would soon lead them towards the fallen city of Shinjuku, but they realized that they would have to face the creature as well.
***************************************************************************************
Cyberleomon struggled under the tight grasp of the evil creature, which was beginning to build more momentum on his side. Cyberleomon tried and tried to break free but everything that he did was not able to help him free himself out of such a predicament. However, Cyberleomon got an idea. He finally found a way to escape the monster's evil grasp.
Cyberleomon jerked his head forwards and looked back towards the creature. Cyberleomon did jerk his head backwards and delivered a devastating head butt into the face of his adversary. The monster went rocking back with his head jerking backwards. Cyberleomon flies down. Until then, he plans on recovering his devastating wounds. The creature goes and follows Cyberleomon down.
Cyberleomon felt his body trembling with tremendous pain after being constricted for a few minutes by the creature's powerful grasp that almost sucked the life right out of him. He was almost completely recovered but it was his low of energy that kept him down for most of the time. Cyberleomon looked towards the creature and eyed him down with an intense look on his face.
"Ha. Just look at how pathetic that you have become, Leomon. My strength was too much for even you to overcome. Its quite a shame to see you in this condition."
"Well, aren't going you going to finish me off? Well, aren't you?"
"Not just yet my friend. But all in due time."
The creature looked towards Cyberleomon and could easily tell that his strength and energy were all drained away from the tight grasp. Cyberleomon would have to find another way to fight the creature but not waste any more energy to create any kind of attack. That would be very difficult due to the fact that Leomon relies too much of energy to create powerful attacks to inflict damage on his enemies and to help him recover.
"So what's it going to be, Leomon? You look pretty much worn out as we speak."
"Yes, it seems that I have. You managed to drain away some of my own energy and I can't even fight back. I needed that energy to defeat you and help recover myself. But now it's all over for me. You can finish me off."
"Well, how very gracious of you. You're a lot smarter than I first thought. You surrender yourself to me, knowing that even you can't defeat what I truly am. So, any last requests before I kill you?"
"Yes. I require one last request and here's what I've been meaning to ask you."
"Ahhh and what is that?"
"Your identity. Just who are you?"
"Is that all?"
"No! Who are you? Where did you come from and why can I sense Omega X's powers from within your being? And why can I sense Metalla X's energy from you? And that of Myotismon and Burizalor, how is it possible?"
A smile came across the monster's face as he decided to speak up. He was now more than happy to explain of his true identity.
"Ha. Ha. Fine, very well then. I guess it wouldn't hurt just to tell you after all."
"So, who are you?"
"My name is Virus and I too am an artificial."
"You?! You're an artificial?!"
"I was designed by the master creator, Datamon."
"Grrr as I should have known."
"My purpose is to make myself the most lethal of all the artificials and I was solely created as a single force of destruction. My power is way beyond that of any of the other artificials. I was specially designed for a different task."
"Huh?"
"You see, I am a biological artificial, which sets me apart from the artificials since they are mainly robotic and created from out of scratch. And as you can see, I possess the same energy levels from such warriors as Omega X and Metalla X. Well, its very simple to explain, since you are very eager to know my secret. I was created in a special laboratory where I was kept dormant for the last few years."
"And how did you get here? We never heard or seen you before."
"I came here from another time. I came from twenty years in the distant future. And as you should know, I arrived here through a special pod craft. But before I get to that, I should explain on how I was created. I was created in a secret laboratory Datamon made as a second resort in creating the most advanced forms of artificial beings, capable of complete destruction of the human world and the digital world. That also included myself. Unfortunately, Datamon was unable to complete my creation process, so he kept me contained within a capsule in which I was made to grow and grow I eventually did overtime. I was fed as much energy that Datamon could provide for me during my twenty year dormant. And during my creation process, Datamon was able to collect the DNA and data from one of the strongest warriors to ever inhabit both the human world and the digital world. Such warriors include the evil Devimon and Etemon, both of which were needed to complete the first portions of my design. Then of course, the data of Angemon and Leomon were added to my design, both of which were considered strong warriors during those early years. But notably, the data of Myotismon, Omega X and Metalla X were also added to my design as a result to easily boost my energy supply up. But it was quite a heavy price to pay as all of these combined powers helped make me what I am today, a very powerful individual. But that is not all. I also contain the DNA and attributes of every single Digi-Destined, past and present. So you name it. Courage, friendship, love, sincerity, reliability, hope, love and kindness are all added into my being with the power of the replica crests and digivices created by Datamon."
"Ah, so I get it now. You managed to get every single attack of every fighter from both worlds, even us digimon? But you also managed to receive the power of every crest into your being. You contain the so-called power of the Digi-Destined."
"Yes, that's right. And you should also realize that Datamon also collected some more energy from other strong fighters. At last minute attempt, Datamon was very desperate in collecting some DNA of powerful warriors. And he was in luck. It is now said that Burizalor made a visit to the digital world. Him and Lady Myotismon arrived as they attempted to destroy both worlds in one full swoop. But then Dimitri quickly stopped them. Datamon managed to collect the DNA from both evil warlords before they both met their end at the hands of Angemon X. With these two added to my being, I also contained the powers of those two and I have achieved their evil minds to officially design me as a cerebral mastermind. You know, Dimitri's DNA along with his digimon's data would have been put into my single being but my body contained enough warrior information. So it really wasn't necessary for me."
"But how did Datamon manage to collect the DNA and data? We never saw him or anybody suspicious around to collect them."
"It was quite simple really. Datamon managed to create small insect devices that managed to latch themselves on the warriors they were destined to collect information from. Once that data was collected, the insect devices would return back to the secret laboratory and place those bits of data into my body during my near twenty-three year dormant sleep. As you can see, we are being monitored at this very moment. Do you see the insect device? It's the size of a small housefly. You see it?"
Cyberleomon looked up and could see a small, insect flying right above them as it was monitoring the two. Cyberleomon shoots out a ki-blast and destroys the small insect with ease as it shattered into pieces as a result of the ki-blast.
"Ha! Ha! That's excellent work, Leomon. But your efforts have proven to be futile!"
"What do you mean?"
"You and everybody on this damn planet shall be absorbed into my being as I yearn to become the most powerful being. As we speak at this moment, my being is growing within the chamber in this present time."
"No! You're wrong! We destroyed Datamon's lab and all of his equipment!"
"Ah, but your forgetting that Datamon has an underground chamber at the bottom of his real laboratory. His secret lab contains my chamber and my present form is growing as we speak."
"Good! Then it's not too late! There is till time to get to the secret lab in no time!"
"Don't be so absurd! The computer for my chamber has been already preset. The chamber and the computer won't activate until the next twenty years and from then, I shall already be out of my chamber and complete! So are we done talking?"
"No. I need to know why you came here? What is your real purpose?"
"My you are so full of questions. But it looks like I'll just have to explain the rest of my story for you to make you completely understand. You see, my being doesn't only require those of humans and digimon alone to help my power grow. I require those of two more sources of energy. According to Datamon's main computer, I require the energies of those of the artificials, Sonja and Jax."
"What?!"
"You need to realize that these two artificials are very swift and deadly. Now you may know that the combined powers of such warriors as Omega X, Metalla X and Burizalor were strong enough to make up my whole being. But their powers pales in comparison to the limitless energy these two artificials possess. I thrive on that kind of energy. But there was one small problem. From the time period that I came from, I found out that the artificials were gone off into another world, perhaps the Digital World. I waited for them to return back into the human world, but I couldn't wait any longer. I managed to find one of these so-called pods and hi-jacked it. I looked at the calculations and wasted no time in setting the coordination's to my next destination. Then as soon as I arrived here in this time period, I made sure to completely conserve my energy by de-evolving back into an insect-like state and borrowed myself underground where I stayed there dormant for the last four years to completely conserve my energy. And all of that waiting was quite worth it for me."
"But why this particular time? I don't understand."
"I didn't know because all I did was push a button. I managed to hi-jack a pod that was supposed to arrive here for some particular reason, but it really didn't matter to me anymore, I am now here. I shall find what I am looking for."
"Now it's starting to become clear. We've been trying to find out the reason why everything has been going out of proportion ever since Dimitri warned us of the arrival of the artificials, his predictions were completely becoming quite out of place and we've been wondering why that has been happening. And now I may have found out the answer to our problems. Yes, it was this guy who was meddling with time itself and hi-jacked that pod!"
"The computer also told me one other thing?"
"What's that?"
"Once I absorb the energy of the two artificials, I shall become the most powerful being in two worlds!"
"But why?! You already the strongest warrior in your own time period!"
"That maybe true but all I am doing is what Datamon desires. I was meant to absorb those artificials! It what I was designed to do. Of course, it could be the data and DNA of both Burizalor and Myotismon that fuels my desires of more power."
"Now, I see. Its just a consipracy for you to take over two worlds."
"No. I don't plan on ruling anything. No, I plan on doing something such worse than that. I plan on plummeting these two worlds into the depths of hell itself! Nothing will stop me from absorbing the two artificials in order to finally reach my final form and the destruction of both worlds shall begin!"
"I see now. This is everything that you needed to tell?"
"Yes, that is all my friend. So Leomon, are we done talking? Because I'm about ready to tear you apart limb by limb."
"Yes. You have said more than enough, Virus!"
Cyberleomon powered up as a wave of energy and an aura of light emulated over his entire body. This caused a shock wave to appear to push Virus back. Cyberleomon lets out a powerful roar and he quickly gained back his power as a result.
"Ha. All I needed to do was reach down and call forth my reserved energy that I managed to keep. So, just be lucky that I didn't kill you just yet."
"You tricked me! Damn you!"
"Well. Now you're not as dumb as you look, Virus. And I guarantee you this! I shall never allow yourself to reach your final form! It ends here for you, Virus!"
Virus growled angrily as he jumped onto his feet and faced off Cyberleomon. Both had their eyes locked onto one another and either one was ready to make the first move.
***************************************************************************************
Metalla X was flying through the air as he was on his way over to the fallen city of Shinjuku. He was getting more eager to find out what kind of enemy is attacking the city and how he contains the energy levels of many of the strongest fighters in two worlds. Metalla X looked across the landscape and the skies were getting dark. This symbolized his dark desires at fighting this new enemy but it also symbolized trouble on the horizon, but what could it mean?
"These storm clouds just came out of nowhere! I wonder what the deal is! Its not because its going to rain. No there must be some sort of energy level close by that is causing all of this. But I must find out what it is. I know its over in Shinjuku, and that's where I am heading!"
As soon as he said that, Metalla X boosted his speed energy and made sure that he traveled over the long distance in order to make it to Shinjuku. But it would take a long while for him to get there at this rate. He had no time to lose.
**************************************************************************************
Faith and Xveemon felt a tremendous ki increase in Shinjuku. They could only gasp in shock at the turn of events that has taken place.
"What is it, Faith?" Dimitri asked.
"Leomon's energy level somehow increased just dramatically! Its unbelievable!"
"Is he right, Xveemon?"
"Yeah, Davis. Leomon wasn't bluffing when he said that he would acquire more power from the guardians! It's skyrocketing!"
"But we better get there as soon as possible. I need to know what this thing is and why it attacked Shinjuku. I need to know if its really that creature that came from that pod," Dimitri replied, "Faith, we're going to have to cover more ground from here, you hear?"
"Loud and clear. Don't worry. We'll get there as soon as possible. We're not too far."
"So are you ready to fasten your safety belt, Davis?" asked Xveemon.
"Yeah unfortunately. Lets go!"
"Hang on tight!"
With that said, Xveemon and Faith boosted up their energy as they flew across the landscape and managed to increase their speed in order to reach the long distances.
But too far behind them was none other than TK and Angemon. They had left the apartment complex in order to catch up with Dimitri and Davis. They felt they shouldn't be left out on the action. Kari had agreed to let TK go for a while so that she can look after her sick brother.
"We're managing to catch up to them. It shouldn't be long before we reach the city of Shinjuku."
"Yeah. I wouldn't let Davis go and take all the action for himself, so I decided to tag along."
"Are you sure it was okay with Kari to leave her?"
"She had no problem with it, just as long as we come back safely. We can manage to keep ourselves out of trouble. Besides, Dimitri and Davis are there. Leomon should also be over at Shinjuku at this very moment. I just hope he's holding out on his own. I'm really starting to worry about him."
"Have a little more faith in Leomon. He's a warrior. He can look out after himself. He won't die on us without a good reason."
"You're right. So, what are we waiting for? Lets get there at least to beat Davis on over there."
"Right! Hang on tight!"
With that said, Angemon boosted his speed and they flew off a whole long distance across the landscape and towards the city of Shinjuku.
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile back in Shinjuku, a showdown was taking place between the two super powers, Virus and Cyberleomon. Virus was still shocked at the stunt that Cyberleomon managed to pull off. Virus didn't expect him to hide some reserved powers and quickly use it to refuel his power. And Virus certainly didn't expect Leomon to be as strong as he was. Even Virus couldn't understand how he would have a hard time taking out Leomon when he had the chance, but he soon realized the warrior's powers despite containing Leomon's powers within his being.
Virus lashed out his scorpion-like tail and some juices started to drip from the very tip of his spiked tail. The juices fell to the ground as they began to eat through like acid. In fact, the juices were acid. So his body also contained acids that could easily burn through flesh, this was something Leomon didn't expect as well. But he wouldn't even let that bother him.
Leomon pointed to Virus and pulls out his blade. He pointed the blade to Virus as if he were ready to attack him.
"Well Leomon, I managed to underestimate you at this very moment. But don't think that I am totally impressed with your full power! You still haven't seen the full depth of my fair share of power as well."
"I don't think you even managed to learn the full depths of my power. You managed to collect as much energy as you could when you had me in your grasp. But you should have finished me off when you had the chance. And for that, I'm going to decapitate you."
"Very cunning. And it was this full power that you managed to exploit at the very last minute. That was quite a little trick that you managed to pull off."
"Don't give me the full credit. You can thank the four digimon guardians for that."
"The guardians. Hmmm. Oh yes, I see now. It's the four guardians. So they gave your this new power through the digital cores!"
"That's right. I'm quite surprised to see that you're not as dumb as you look."
"So, that's how he received that large amount of power. It certainly wouldn't make any sense if he had reached to the true pinnacle of his energy level without the help of the digital cores, possessed by the Holy Beasts. But I remember if the cores lose their power, then the Digital World will be left unstable. The cores are needed to keep the Digital World under full survival, kind of like a battery that runs a vehicle. How ingenious. Heh. Heh."
Suddenly, Virus started to take a few steps back as Cyberleomon started to slowly approach him with the blade in his band.
"Well Leomon, you managed to get out of that little predicament. But now, it looks like I'm going to have to rid of you. Your power is amazing but it is still not enough in defeating me."
"I don't think you even seen the real depth of my true power. But you will soon."
As soon as he said that, Virus jumps back and leaps on top of a fallen concrete stairway and lashed out his tail in a defenseive position. He was ready to strike Cyberleomon at any given opportunity. Just then, Virus looks up and feels two energy levels about to approach the area. No make that three. He could only wonder who would arrive with such strong energy levels.
Cyberleomon felt the powerful energy levels and looked up as well. He was quite surprised to see none other than Xveemon and Faith, but he also saw Angemon. Davis, Dimitri and TK had arrived and they were not too late to help Cyberleomon.
"Look! I see Leomon!" Faith said.
"And looks like he's alright at the moment," Davis said, "But who is that down there with him?"
The Digi-Destined looked down. They were surprised by the appearance of Virus. A disgusted look came across the face of Xveemon when he got the first glimpse of the monster.
"Ugh… That thing is freaking me out."
TK took a looked down and was quite surprised at what he was seeing.
"Is that the thing that came from out of the pod in the Digital World?!"
"Look at it. Just look at its skin," Dimitri said, "Its quite possible that this thing is the creature that came out of the pod when we found it in the Digital World."
Virus looks up and could see Dimitri. A smile formed across his face. It looks as though he can easily recognize Dimitri, but how does he know Dimitri if Dimitri hasn't even seen Virus before?
"Dimitri is here. Stupid boy, he thinks that he can change the events that have lead to this very moment; well he's sadly mistaken. And he keeps blaming himself for the change of the turn of events in this present time period. Well this has gotten a lot more interesting than I first thought."
Xveemon, Faith and Angemon all landed to help Cyberleomon. They all turned to face Virus, who was giving them a cold stare. His mere presence was quite frightening to say the least.
"Davis, this guy is freaking me out man."
"No kidding. He's uglier than a stone fish."
"No stone fishes aren't ugly, they're hideous and this guy is just plan out ugly! Period!" exclaimed Xveemon.
"Hey, answer me this? How am I able to sense War Greymon's and Palmon's energy levels here?" asked Angemon.
"Don't worry. I'll explain everything later. Right after we beat this thing!"
"Ha! Ha! You possibly think you can defeat me? Ha! Don't flatter yourself! I'll be long gone right after I dispatch of you four! Just watch and learn when I use the Terra Force technique, you'll be quite surprised!"
"The Terra Force," cried out TK, "But that's solely used by War Greymon! How is that even possible? He's not even a digimon from what we know."
"The Terra Force isn't the only technique I know how to use, Takeru," Virus said, "But I know of another technique called the Gate of Destiny."
"Ah! This guy is a freak! How does he even know my name," TK stuttered with fear.
"I don't care! I say we shut this guy down once and for all! Xveemon! Do the honors!"
"Right! Come on ugly!"
"Ha! Don't waste my time, Daisuke!"
Xveemon goes flying at Virus and throws in several punches at the evil artificial but Virus was able to maneuver away from each punch being thrown at him. Virus flips over and powers up for his next attack.
"Daisuke! I hope you're quite familiar with this technique! Fire Rocket!!"
Xveemon gasped at what he just heard as he saw Virus shooting out several fist-sized balls of fire at him. Xveemon felt the flaming balls nail him right in the chest, which sends him flying back.
"Unreal! He even knows the attacks of the armored digimon as well!" Cyberleomon exclaimed.
Virus puts his two hands together and an electrical ball of energy started to form above his head. He took that electrical ball and tossed it right at Xveemon.
"Thunder Clash!"
Now he was using Lighdramon's attacks against Xveemon. Davis was still in shock at what Virus was doing. He couldn't believe that such a creature would possess the powers of those of the digimon.
"You guys! It's best that we attack together! That way he won't know what hit him!" exclaimed Cyberleomon.
"Leomon! Once I absorb the two artificials and reach my final form, you won't be so cocky!"
"Grr! Face it, your outnumbered and outmatched! You can't win!"
"So you want me to make a believer out of you? You underestimate my power and that's a mistake that shall cost you dearly. So I'll tell you what."
Virus goes flying up into the air with something up his sleeve. He wouldn't be doing this if he had an ace up his sleeve.
"I like to stay and chat but I got two friends waiting for my arrival. But here's something I can make it up to you four. I hope you like this little going away present! Ha! Ha!"
The digimon all flew up right at Virus to prepare to attack the evil artificial with everything that they have. But just then, Virus' eyes started to glow a crimson color. He was now going to use one of Gatomon's most useful techniques.
"Cats Eye!"
With that said, Virus sends out an ultra violet light that caused a bright light to emulate across the landscape. This wasn't Gatomon's version of the Cats Eye technique but Virus modified it into his own use. Now this flash of light blinded the digimon and the Dig-Destined. Virus took this chance to find his way through the bright light and into a perfect place to escape. Virus flies off into the horizon and disappears without the digimon knowing.
As the bright flash began to fade away, they all regained their sight back and they began to realize that Virus had now vanished from sight. Cyberleomon angrily uncovered his eyes and looked across the landscape. He couldn't even see any signs of Virus. He then turned to face the Digi-Destined.
"Hey! That attack! That was one of Gatomon's techniques wasn't it?!"
"Yeah. It is and it's a perfect way if you're looking to escape from sight," TK said.
"Damn! That coward!"
The digimon all spread out and began to search the area. They couldn't believe that they had lost sight of Virus. Cyberleomon came so close in fighting the evil monster himself and was so close in saving humanity, but now Virus was gone and could be out there in the human world, looking for more sources of energy.
"We had better go and look for Virus! If we don't stop him, a lot of innocent people are going to die!"
The digimon angrily looked towards the skies and began to ponder where Virus could have escaped. But Cyberleomon was right; if they can't stop him then the fate of humanity shall be in jeopardy. The Digi-Destined must act quickly before anything else goes wrong.
***************************************************************************************
Virus found himself running across the landscape through a forest. He had used the techniques of the other digimon to his advantage and had outwitted the Digi-Destined during the first meeting. But he would now make sure that they would not foil his plans in absorbing the two artificials. He desires for their power and will stop at nothing to get it.
"Ha! That fool, Leomon doesn't realize what he's up against. How can he be so confident against the likes of me? Sure he's powerful, but it's still not enough to beat me. And those Digi-Destined are no different. Once they realize the full potential of my inner depths of my power, they won't be able to stop me. And I can sense the presence of the Digi-Destined of Courage. Taichi is still alive in this time. Well I'll go pay him a visit later. But first, it's off to absorb the two artificials to reach my full, final form."
With that said, Virus flies across the landscape in order to get himself through long distances to reach his next destination.
**************************************************************************************
Back in the apartment complex where Kari and Tai live, the other Digi-Destined were sticking to the local television and they received no updates on the monster situation. However, the digimon were getting quite anxious. They were getting ready for the battle that they would soon take participation in very soon.
Kari sat next to her brother and was looking after him throughout the whole day. She was beginning to fall asleep as a result. But just then, she looked down and could see Tai moving his hand just a bit.
"You guys! Tai is moving is hand! Looks like he's about to come out of his sleep."
The other Digi-Destined all gathered around Tai and looked down at their fallen leader. Tai began moving both hands but was unable to lift his whole body. However, this was a good sign. Now Tai was looking good as far as his health was concerned. Sora could only look on and smile.
"Tai. Good. Just rest a little bit. You'll be back in action and we do, we'll beat these artificials together," Sora said.
"Well now that we have Tai and Agumon recovering, we still have problems. It's like that creature that attacked Shinjuku. We should be on the look out," Izzy said.
"Not to mention to look out for the artificials," Joe replied.
"As long as we stick together then nothing will stop us. Not even those mean old artificials," Cody said, "But how can we be sure that this creature may even be stronger than the three artificials?"
"Just believe in ourselves and the power of our digimon," Mimi said, "After all, we still got the two fusion digimon. Plus, Dimitri and Leomon on our side. So they shouldn't have many problems with that monster right now. So I wouldn't worry."
"I'm not sure if I can agree with you about that one. We're still pretty much in serious trouble," Ken said to himself.
Yolei looked towards Ken and began to think the same thing.
**************************************************************************************
Metalla X looked at a devastated city and has finally arrived in Shinjuku. He couldn't believe at the mass destruction that was left by Virus' evil power.
"This is just terrible! How can one single force kill off a large human population in under a short few minutes."
But then, Metalla X turned to see somebody powering up. He felt an enormous power increase and a shocked look came across his face at what he was seeing. Down below him was Cyberleomon angrily powering up after blaming himself for losing track of Virus.
"No! It's Leomon! How did he manage to get this strong in a short amount of time?! It's not possible! I'm at the fusion level and now even Leomon surpasses me!"
Metalla X had seen enough and flies down to meet up with Cyberleomon and the others. They all turned to face him.
"Young father," Dimitri said.
"Whoa! Metalla, I didn't even detect you coming here," Xveemon said.
"Save me the questions. Now tell me what happened here."
"Well since you came here a little too late, I might as well explain to you everything. You all need to hear about this," Cyberleomon said.
"Just one question? How did you get so strong? There's no way that you could have achieved the pinnacle of power in such a short period of time," replied Metalla X.
"I'll tell you how," Dimitri said, "Leomon had gone to see the four Holy Beasts to seek more power. Azulongmon gave him the power from one of the Digital Cores. So, there you have it. Are you satisfied now?"
"Yes. Thank you, Dimitri for being the only one to open their mouth around here. Now what is this creature that attacked Shinjuku. Tell me everything now, Leomon!" Metalla X exclaimed angrily.
Cyberleomon nodded as he began to explain everything about the Virus creature and his sole purpose. They all sat around and began to listen since this would be a very long and descriptive explanation.
**************************************************************************************
Virus flew across a long distance in a large, great forest, but he managed to find himself in a clear opening. He stopped and landed on the ground. He looked around his surroundings as a thought came to his mind.
"As long as I keep my distance away from those troublesome children and their annoying digimon, I should be able to exploit my grounds and look for more life sources to keep my power going. In fact, I should prey on some helpless humans right about now before I find those artificials. There's nothing better than tasting the quick dash of fear on your lips."
Just then, there were some cries from within the forest. They were more like happy and playful cries from several teenage kids. Virus looked across through the bushes and peeked to see several teenage girls putting on bikinis, as they were getting ready to take a swim in the lake just away from their campsite.
"Excellent. These insolent humans should help keep my hunger down for the time being."
Just as Virus was about to make his move, one of the girls came running towards the bushes to put her bathing suit on.
"Hey! You better hurry up, Valerie!" one of the other girls shouted to their friend.
"Uh. Just hold on a minute!"
"Before we like start growing old or something!"
The girl began to get undressed and took off her shirt and then her blue jean shorts. Virus looked on from within the bushes as he quickly examined the physicality of the girl. He admired her female body structure quite a bit. Virus let out a small hissing noise, which quickly caught the girl's attention. She looked up and cupped herself to make sure nobody was looking at her getting undressed.
"Hello? Is anybody there?"
No answer. The girl walks over towards the bushes and slowly crept towards them.
"Amy, is that you again? You know how much I hate playing these horror movie games."
She walks over and uncovers the bushes to see if anybody was there and to her surprise she didn't see anything. But then she jumped back when something came jumping out. She let out a scream and fell backwards. She looked to see what had jumped out and scared her. To her surprise, it was nothing more than a small, little chipmunk.
"Aww. It's just you. For a minute there, I thought you were some psycho maniac in the woods that likes to kill innocent girls like myself. You scared me there for a second."
The girl picks up the little chipmunk and began to pet it gently. She placed back down to the ground and the little chipmunk quickly ran away into the forest.
"Hope you get home to your family, little guy. Man, I gotta hurry up and get dressed."
As soon as she turned around, a long, scorpion-like tail came lashing out from out of nowhere and pierced itself through the girl's chest. She let out a horrifying scream as Virus came walking out from the bushes with a cruel smile on his face.
"Resistance is futile, little girl. Your energy shall become apart of me!"
The girl cried out even more as she began to witness her entire body slowly being sucked away through the tail of the evil monster. Her life force was slowly fading away and Virus would soon gain more energy to keep his hunger under control.
"I must hurry, if I want to locate those artificials. Those other human girls shall be quite an appetizing."
***************************************************************************************
Back in the fallen ruins of the once great city of Shinjuku, Cyberleomon had explained everything that the other Digi-Destined needed to know. Everything was told, from Virus' birth, his sole purpose and the depths of his powers.
"And that's the whole story. Virus requires the energy of the two artificials in order to reach his final form. Since we can't defeat the artificials alone, we can't imagine the thought of having to battle Virus with the two artificials contained within his being. If he completes this task, he shall become the most powerful being in two worlds."
The Digi-Destined could only visualize the thoughts of Virus gaining the power of the two artificials with sheer horror. If that were to happen, then there would be no chance of them beating the evil Virus. If they can't even defeat the artificials, what makes them able to destroy Virus?
"This is just unbelievable! Every time, we reach a new level of strength, there's always a higher power that appears and challenges our authority! Well no more! I say we reach a higher level of power! It seems destiny keeps laughing at my face, just like Tai."
"So what do we do now?" asked TK.
"I know what we can do," Dimitri said, "I say you and I go to the laboratory location and we can find the secret bunker that contains the present day Virus that is still currently growing in the lab. That way we only have to worry about one Virus and not allow another one to grow."
"Good idea!" TK said, "And what about you guys?"
"We were thinking of finding Virus since we can locate his energy level unlike the artificials since they don't possess any ki," Cyberleomon replied, "If we destroy Virus, there will be no way he can absorb the artificials and reach his final perfect form. If we do it vice verse, then Virus won't have any artificials to absorb. So are we all clear about this?"
"I'm not! You guys can good ahead! But instead of running from a fight, I'll seek for this new challenge. You see, with my new fusion power, I can find new ways to increase my energy level and reach a new status of power. I will ascend to a new level of power," Metalla X ranted on.
'Ascend' to a new level of power? The other Digi-Destined were thinking that he was crazy but were beginning to believe that he could be able to reach a new level of power that will ensure him that he becomes the most powerful fighter in two worlds.
"So. I suggest you all just stand aside. You all can go look for this monster if you want to, but we shall train ourselves. Gabumon has been telling me that we are able to ascend to the next level and if there's anybody who can accomplish that, it will be us. So, I guess I'll be seeing you all later then."
With that said, Metalla X goes flying off as he began to make plans for his next attack. He has been ranting on to the rumors of reaching to the next level of power but will be able to ascend to that next level of power?
"So, shall we get started then?" asked Dimitri.
"Yeah. Lets get going and we better hurry," TK said, "Virus will absorb as much energy as he can from innocent people so we better be careful."
"Right. Davis, you will come with me. We'll look for Virus," Cyberleomon said.
"Right. You hear that Xveemon?"
"Loud and clear. We got a bug to catch!"
"Alright! Lets move out!"
The four digimon all spread out with their human partners on their next plan of action. TK and Dimitri headed back towards the location of the devastated laboratory of Datamon in order to find the secret lab containing the plans to Virus' creation. Cyberleomon and Davis set off to find the actual monster themselves. But they would have to hurry before Virus gets stronger after absorbing more innocent people. Time is of essence at this very moment.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, on the other side of the great forest, the three artificials were snooping around. Well to be exact, Jax was sitting around while Sonja was behind some tall bushes trying on the new clothes that she stole from several convenient stores. Black War Greymon was also sitting around and waiting alongside Jax.
"Ugh. Really, how long does it take for her to try on some new clothes,"Jax said to himself in thought.
Just then, Sonja came walking out wearing black leather pants, a black leather halter-top and some black high-heel boots.
"Well it's about time you picked out the perfect outfit of your liking! So is that what you're going to wear?"
"Yeah, doesn't it just look great?"
"Yeah not too shabby. Now can we get going and continue our search for Taichi?"
"Sure, whenever you are ready."
"Black War Greymon, can you find the location of Taichi and Agumon at this very moment?" asked Jax.
"Yes. According to my sensors, his presence is located within Odaiba."
"Then its Odaiba where we're heading! Let's go!"
With that said, the three artificials flew up and headed off towards Odaiba where they would locate Taichi as soon as possible. But they aren't the only ones that were off to kill Taichi, but another being who craved for the destruction of the Digi-Destined of Courage. And that being would be Virus.
**************************************************************************************
The other teenage girls were quickly sucked away through Virus' scorpion-like tail. Virus could feel his energy supply increasing as a result.
"Yes, this was quite enough for me at the moment. But I'm going to need more to keep my hunger down."
Just then, Virus could feel the presence of many life forces in one area. There was a nearby town just mile away from the forest.
"Well, looks like I managed to hit the buffet bar at this instant. Well then, its suppertime. So, wait for me artificials, I'll be looking for you soon enough!"
Virus then goes flying off through the forest and across the lake as he began to set out to search for more prey within the nearby town. A sinister laughter echoed throughout the forest and this certainly wasn't a good thing for the residents of the nearby town, for soon they become Virus' prey within minutes!
Virus has managed to find himself a buffet meal in a nearby town and the Digi-Destined are unaware of it. Can the Digi-Destined find Viru's location and stop him before he absorbs the two artificials?
