" First Strike "
[Maybe I should stop listening to Faye Wong while writing it always puts me in a mood for romance. Oh well, just because I haven't done it in a while. I do not own digimon. Enjoy and review please.]
Nick awoke glancing around everyone else way still asleep. He turned walking to the edge of the forest checking the conditions around the mountain. Dark clouds surrounded the precipice. Digimon of different varieties guarded the structure. 'This is gonna be one difficult fight,' he thought as he ran back to the camp. The others were one by one awakening. Since there was little left to eat Nick decided not to. 'I'll be fine,' he thought handing his rations to the younger members of the group. He smiled and stood pacing as he waited for Kana and Jason to return.
Lucas watched as Nick paced around the small covered campsite they hid in. He was becoming impatient and Nick's pacing wasn't helping. 'It's not like I asked for this,' Lucas thought nervously watching the shadows. 'But I can't just leave them. They need me. After all Jason asked me to put together a plan of attack.' He grabbed the ancient book, which bear the crest of knowledge, flipping through the pages.
Jose stood from his spot he'd finished his rations and turned to his partner. "I'm a bit worried," he whispered. "I know I hold a crest but what f I can't protect mi amigos." He turned grabbing he staff Jason gave him so long ago. "Is this really mine? Can I hold up to my crest?" Toromon nodded giving him a firm glance that told him he believed in him. "Thanks Toromon," Jose smiled.
May sat with her little digimon looking down it. "I don't want you to go and fight," she spoke softly so the others wouldn't hear. "What if you got hurt?" She thought of the battle and her little partner being tossed around. "No you wont got and fight." He hugged the little snakelike digimon close. Refusing though knowing she would have to fight.
Nick stopped fixing his dirt covered red shirt. Then he looked down at his jeans, there was a hole in the right knee. Sighing he reached down stretching the hole, he then ripped his left pant leg turning the pants into shorts. "No point in littering the digital world," he commented rolling up the scraps and putting them on his wrists.
Lucas glanced over at Nick then to May. 'Whatever happens now I wont give up,' he thought making eye contact with Kaleidomon. They nodded to each other without a word. 'I'll keep May safe, and I'll do everything I can to stop him.' He stood fixing his tattered blue polo. Pulling a comb from his brown short he fixed his blonde hair, parting the middle.
Jose glanced around seeing Nick and Lucas' actions. "I guess its time we prepared," he removed his green over shirt wrapping it around his jean shorts. His tank top was covered in dirt. He rubbed his hand of some leaves collecting the morning dew. Using what little moisture he could gather he spiked up his short black hair.
May shivered pulling Lucas' jacket over her shoulders. She looked at her filthy yellow dress. 'It doesn't matter,' she thought. 'We're all going to fight. These are my friends just like Ardremon.' She held her partner close. 'I can't make her avoid this fight.' She felt like crying but she wouldn't let it happen. 'I have to fight. For my friends.'
"I hope your all ready," Jason's voice called out from the forest. Everyone turned trying to see him through the shadows. "We will however have to deal with a few problem first thought." Kana stepped forward greeted by Gatomon. She smiled hugging the cat. Then turning as Jason stepped forward into the light. "First of all," every stood in shock as they saw Jason enter the light. It was him, yet not as they remembered. He had both his arms, and stood about 6' 4" now, his body ripped with muscles, his hair tied back into a long ponytail, and the most noticeable thing, those silver wings extending from his back. "We're short one Digimon in this war," his voice as stern.
"What do you mean," Lucas asked curious.
"I mean since whatever that kid up there did when I was Arch-Angemon, I have lost all contact with Daumon." He folded his wings behind his back. "And now it seems I'm stuck in this form." He walked slowly to the center of the camp. "But this doesn't mean we hold off our attack. Luke what's the plan?"
"Well I'll have to make a few changes considering you wont be able to fight." Luke looked down at his plans about to make the changes when.
"No," he turned facing Lucas. "I am fighting." Everyone looked at him then glanced over at Kana. Surely she would talk him out of this.
"Why is everyone looking at me," she asked knowing full well what their attention meant.
"We already spoke about this," Jason called back their attention. "I may have lost my partner but he left me well armed for this fight." He raised his left hand as surges of electricity surrounded his fist. "I'll fill in for Daumon. Now what's our plan of attack?"
"Well I'll show you," Lucas stood grabbing a stick he drew the mountain in the soft dirt. Then made a few marks around the base of the mountain. "Now Nick will take up our ground support. As Artillemon he'll be able to clear the ground troops with not too much trouble."
"So I'm the X then," Nick asked as Lucas circled the bottom of the mountain.
"Yes," He then turned to Jose, " After Artillemon clears the way to the mountain, Jose and I will DNA digivolve and make our way up the left side." He drew a line from the circle marked below the mountain to the left. "We'll take out as many as we can as he guide May up."
"Do you think you guys will be able to digivolve to mega?"
"To mega," Jose asked looking up at Jason. "It's possible but why?"
"We need everyone to be at their best," Jason replied
"We'll do our best Jason," Lucas then pointed to the star mark. "Kana will break off to the right covering that side of the mountain. You're Mega form will be needed here Kana." Kana nodded pulling out the Digi-egg of light. "I guess now Jason will be driving up the center making sure they don't try a divide and conquer."
"Mind if I make a suggestion," Nick stepped up pointing a stick at the diagram. "Now then if Kana and Jason take the right side," he drew lines as he spoke, "And you, Jose and May take the left, that'll leave enough of an opening for me to give ground support."
Lucas looked up at Nick. "But May's digimon can't digivolve to Mega."
"Oh but Ardremon can," Jason turned to May. "Can't she?"
"Yes," May nodded with a small voice.
"How," Jose was curious how an in training could digivolve to Mega.
"She's been reserving her energy," Jason stepped in. "She has plenty of power to reach all the way to Mega. But she will need a little bit of help." He pulled his sword off his back. "May and Ardremon will you help us?"
May nodded setting the little digimon on the ground. Stepping back she held up her D3. Jason smiled pointing the tip of his sword at the D3. The two objects fired a stream of light at one another. The beams hit redirecting to Ardremon. The power surrounded the little snake causing her to warp digivolve to her mega form. Kiramon stood slowly she looked similar to May, only her skin was covered in dark green scales, her hair a sky blue, eyes dark like the mud at her feet.
"This is Ardremon's mega form," Jose asked looking over the little girl.
"Great things come in small packages," Jason laughed, "or so the saying goes." He rested the edge of the blade on his shoulder turning to Nick. "Ready to lead the way?"
"Let's do this," he turned Bio-merging to Artillemon. The forest around them parted as the monstrous tortoise appeared. "Here we go," Artillemon yelled firing at the approaching horde of evil.
"Our turn," Jose and Lucas spoke simultaneously. Their Digimon DNA digivolved into Rushmon and turned facing Jason and Kana.
"I'll need your help," Jason said holding up his sword. Kana exposed her katana crossing the blades.
"Rushmon Digivolve to..." Rushmon was covered in a bright light as he digivolved further. His body now covered in dark blue armor, his head covered by a helmet designed like a dragon, a black cape extended from his shoulders, extending his hands a spear formed. He twirled the spear before holding it to the sky, "FrostDragoonmon."
Jason then lowered his blade and smiled to Kana. She turned to Nefertimon as she held out both the blade and her D3. Nefertimon transformed into Valkyrimon, a tall figure dressed in white with a blue sash around her waist, a crossbow on her back and a quiver an sword attach to the crisscrossed belt. Red tipped wings, a falcon shield on the left wrist, and a gold bird perched on her right wrist.
Artillemon had just about cleared a path to the mountain when they all made their move. Kiramon following FrostDragoonmon to the left, while Jason and Valkyrimon flew to the right.
FrostDragoonmon leapt into the air pointing his spear at the crowd of digimon. "Glacial Thrust," he landed in the center of the mob as all around were covering in ice. Kiramon stopped as several Vilemon attempted to surround her. She cracked a smile raising her talons swiftly, "Gaea's Rage." At her command spikes burst from the ground scattering the beaten demons.
On the other side Valkyrimon and Jason had relinquished their sheaths going one on one with the Devils. They dodged and reflected the attacks until reinforcements arrived.
"I thought they were making it too easy for us," Valkyrimon commented backing up.
"Nothing worth fighting for is ever easy," Jason reared back his left hand thrusting it forward as he fired a sparkling beam at the flock of darkness.
"Feral Sword," Valkyrimon tighten her grip on her sword, hitting top speed as she sliced through half of the present force. When she stopped she hovered seeing more digimon approaching. "Their numbers are too vast," she yelled.
"Never give up," Jason slashed through three Devimon. Then followed up with a horizontal slash that sent out a shockwave knocking more of their opponents out.
Artillemon had just finished off the ground troops and was unclear as to what he should do next. Seeing that the digimon were coming from the mountain he turned all guns toward the rock. Gather a vast amount of energy he fired one shot at the mountain. The recoil of the shot forced him back several yards. The blast shook the structure ripping a hole to the center. "Ha ha perfect shot," Artillemon roared with triumph. From the hole stepped Machinedramon. The android dinosaur roared aiming his dual cannons at Artillemon. "What the," the blast hit knocking Artillemon onto his side. "You wanna see some power," Artillemon yelled as Machinedramon took aim once more. "Check this out." Before the blast could hit Artillemon fired into the ground propelling him into the air and at the android.
"Dragon Fire," opening his mouth Machinedramon covered the shell in flames. The falling short of his target Artillemon landed in the forest. The stream of fire continued spreading to the forest.
"Artillemon we need to try something more drastic," Nick recommended from the data stream. "Use you rear legs as support and try for a dead on shot." Machinedramon stepped toward the shell laughing as he continued his flame assault. Extracting his rear legs into the flames Artillemon groaned targeting the oversized lighter. "Eat this. Maximum Nova Blast!!" At nearly point blank range the beam created a bright sphere that detonated like an atomic bomb. When the smoke cleared both Machinedramon and Artillemon were gone.
All noted the explosion and the results. They turned breaking away from their fights converging in the blast zone. The only thing that remained where the two titans fought was a crater. Nick was gone.
