Chapter 12 Death

"Megidramon"

Silence. Absolute silence. Everyone froze at the dark demon dragon's appearance.

Sakuyamon and MegaGargomon were horrified at the appearance of Megidramon who was currently growling at all before him, though in a strange manner he was almost......guarding...Impmon....

Sakuyamon and MegaGargomon did a double take though and allowed their gaze to hover on Megidramon for a few moments. He was different from how he was before. He still radiated the anger and hatred, only now it was much more intense......and if you over looked the fact that he had more blades and looked like he was partially made out of lava......to be truthful he looked far more demonic than he had the first time around.(A/N uh I kinda mixed Megidramon and MegidramonX because MegidramonX is trully freaky looking, yikes, scary,there'll be a link at the bottom of the page to go see MegidramonX)

The Digidestined took one look at the dark dragon and knew, just knew, that he was not supposed to be there. Megidramon radiated anger and hatred. The Digidestined stared at the dark dragon a moment longer before deciding what to do.

Sakuyamon stared-and no doubt the others were to- as Megidramon carefully lifted an unmoving Impmon into a gentle claw and slithered a fair distance away from the battle and set the little rookie down as gently as he could before turning menacing blood red eyes on already frightened Digidestined.

Megidramon growled at them, not moving just growling as if he was thinking about something. But the Tamers who had seen Megidramon didn't think, Megidramon was an imbodyment of pure hatred and had no cohearent thoughts. No, Megidramon was all about instincts......but if that was true, then why was there a glimmer of intelligence in those blood thirsty eyes?

*~*~*Inside of Megidramon*~*~*

A solitary being floated in the middle of a sphere of black and crimson data.

//They hurt Impmon//

/Grrrrrrrrrr.......hurt friend..........they hurt! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr/

//They hurt .....................//

/GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR/

//GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR//

*~*~*Back to outside of Megidramon*~*~*

Megidramon was not just growling any more. He had moved on to snarling and was slowly advancing upon the digimon and humans in front of him. Megidramon spread his tattered wings wide and flapped them a little before using them to soar straight at the unprepared Digidestined.

The Digidestined and their partners scattered as Megidramon surged forward into their midst, intent on deleting a few digimon for what they had done to his friend.

Megidramon may have been a rampaging pysco path that wanted nothing more than to tear digimon and humans into little itty bitty pieces but he was a loyal rampaging pysco path.

Megidramon lashed out with his claws, trying to slice Pheonixmon who hadn't moved fast enough to get out of Megidramon's attack range. Luckily for the bird digimon, Megidramon missed and went on to try and attack anyone that would not move out of his way fast enough.

Rosemon threw her whip out and wrapped it around Megidramon's arm and tried to pull him back. Megidramon growled low in his throat and shot Rosemon a menacing look before grabbing the vine whip and pulling Rosemon to him, slashing at her with his other clawed hand.

Rosemon cried out in pain and retreated back to the others who had surrounded the demon dragon Megidramon.

"What are we going to do? We have to stop this thing!" Rosemon panted as hse massaged her sore arm. It felt like it had been nearly pulled out of its socket.......damn that Megidramon thing was strong!

While the digimon had surrounded Megidramon, their partners and the Tamers were trying to figure out what to do.

"We have to destroy that....that...thing!" Mimi said, watching as Megidramon lashed out, trying to get any digimon that got to close.

"Damn it blondie! We can't do that! Megidramon is Takato's partner! You can't kill him! We just have to stop him before he destroys the Digital World!" Sakuyamon growled, very tempted to bop Mimi over the head with her holy staff.

"That thing is Guilmon?!" Kari asked, completely stunned.

"The only one who can change him back is Takato......and we can't find Takato......but if we don't contain Megidramon soon, the hazard will corrupt the Digital World and destroy it" MegaGargomon stated quietly, watching as the Digidestineds partners took turns leaping forward and taunting the dark dragon with different attacks.

"Then what are we going to do?! The attacks that our partners throw at him don't seem to hurt him or stop him! You said something about this hazard, that symbol on his chest? Is that what is corrupting the Digital World?" Izzy rambled off, filling his little yellow laptop with every bit of information that he could find out about Megidramon and the hazard.

"We have to destroy him.....if Megidramon is going to destroy the Digital World then we have to destroy him....before he can destroy the Digital World. Its the only way........I mean.....there's still Primary Village so Guilmon will be reborn......but we have to stop him now!" Justimon said determinedly and flew off to join the digimon that still surrounded Megidramon. Sakuyamon and MegaGargomon followed, though quite uncertain if this really was the only thing that they could do.

Justimon had never seen Megidramon before but he had heard of what happened in the Digital World and he did not want anything bad to happen, especially since this wasn't even their Quadrant. They were guests here and they could not let one of their own destroy the Digital World.

*Takato....what have you done?* Sakuyamon thought to herself as she watched-with slight amusement-Justimon try and take Megidramon on by himself and getting rewarded for his efforts by getting drooled on and having said drool eat through part of his armor because it was so acidic.

"What about Impmon? We should delete him to.....though he may also come back through Primary Village.....what he did was just as unforgivable as anything the Dark Masters did.....oh this is so confusing" Kari moaned and placed her head in her hands.

"We'll figure this all out as soon as we deal with Megidramon......we can lock Impmon up until we can figure out what to do with him, but to get to him we're going to have to get rid of Megidramon. If we get to close to Impmon I think it would push what little sanity Megidramon has left over the edge" T.K. said and placed a reasuring hand on Kari's shoulder.

"Right.....lets do this, Magnadramon attack!" Kari shouted out to her partner. The rest of the Digidestined did the same, and the digimon surrounding Megidramon fanned out and prepared to let loose all of their attacks at once, there was no way that Megidramon could possibly survive all of the attacks.

"Fire Tornado!" Mangadramon shouted and let loose a tornado of fire which spun off to Megidramon.

"Seven Heavens!" Seraphimon called out, creating seven balls of holy energy that were hurled off to slam into the dark demon dragon.

"Starlight Explosion!" Pheonixmon yelled and summoned forth meteors to crash into Megidramon.

"Thorn Whipping!" Rosemon said with less confidense than she had the first time, letting her whip fly forward.

"Artic Blizzard!" Vikemon shouted and a whirling blizzard burst forth from his arms.

"Lightning Arrow!" Valkyrimon said calmly and pulled out a bow and an arrow made of lightning before launching it towards Megidramon.

"Golden Smoke!" Lampmon said eerily and let a golden smoke seep out from his golden lamp.

"Mega Electro Shocker!" HeraculesKabutarimon roared and charged up the electricty needed for the attack before launching the enormous ball of electricity.

"Positron Laser!" Imperialdramon bellowed, charging the cannon on his back and lettong the blast of pure energy loose.

"Terra Force!" WarGreymon shouted, lifting his clawed hands to the sky and gathering a ball of energy there before throwing it into Megidramon's direction.

"Giga Missle!" MetalGarurumon growled as he opened some of the compartments on his body and let several missles fly off to Megidramon who was just sitting in the middle of them, waiting for them to try and attack him.

"Thunder Clap!" Justimon shouted, extending his arm and slamming it into the ground and watching as the electricity ran along the gorund towards Megidramon.

"Gargo Missle!" MegaGargomon shouted, launching the large bunny missles on his shoulders, watching as they smiled half way towards the dark demon god dragon.

"Solar Wind Destroyer!" Aldamon yelled and let the fire that he controlled fly towards the dragon.

"Licht Angriff!" Beowolfmon cried angrily and unleashed an attack of light to slam into Megidramon.

"Electron Cannon!" MetalKabutarimon bellowed as he lowered his head and blasted an eletrical sphere of energy at the dark dragon.

"Gilgamesh Slicer!" Zephyrmon loftily and let the blades of wind soar over to Megidramon.

"Black Lightning!" JagerLoewemon shouted and let loose a blast of darkness.

"Avalanche Axes!" Korikakumon roared and swung his axes about before letting them fly in arcs towards the dark demon dragon of the hazrd.

"Rapid Fire!" RapidmonW said gleefully, letting a hail of bullets loos(I totally forgot about him_)

"Arm Bomber!" AntylamonW yelled and swung his arms out, small black bombs flying from them and towards Megidramon.

"Spirit Strike!" Sakuyamon chanted, letting loose the four fox spirits of the elements.

*I'm sorry Takato....I wish there was another way* Sakuyamon thought as she watched all off the attacks head straight for Megidramon, some mixing with one another along the way becoming even more powerful.

Megidramon roared and let one of his own attacks go to counter some of the attacks.

"Megido Flame!" Megidramon growled in a low grinding voice that was lost in the torrents of power and enrgy that plowed forward and slammed hard into the dark dragons body.

The flames that Megidramon shot off grazed Lampmon and Seraphimon who hadn't managed to move fast enough to fully escape the flames that Megidramon spat at them.

Megidramon tumbled to the ground, wings pinned beneath his serpentine dragon body. Megidramon lay there for a few moments, and every few seconds his data would fizzle letting the Digidestined know that they had at least managed to hurt the massive dragon of hatred.

"He's still alive?" Cody whispered in amazement. As much as he hated having to destroy a digimon, even if it was evil, he was shocked to see that this dragon of anger and hatred was still alive.

"Megidramon is extremely powerful.....and I don't think he even feels pain......." Sora whispered, mostly to herself as she watched the monsterous demon rise. Megidramon roared before collapsing to the ground once more.

Megidramon wasn't going to stop attacking though, as one digimon got to close and got a little singed from the flames that Megidramon would spit every now and then.

"Prodigious! Its amazing that he took so many hits! I wonder just how many direct hits he can take before being destroyed? This is fascinating! I wish I had the time and resources to study this digimon!" Izzy muttered to himself excitedly as he switched from looking at the results of the attacks on Megidramon back to his little laptop.

"Is he ever gonna give up that word?" Matt asked Tai as the two of them and Davis and Ken stood off to the side from the rest of the Digidestined.

"I doubt it, I mean if he's held onto it for this long I don't think he's going to let go of it so easily.........." Tai said, glancing from Megidramon and the Digidestined and back to Megidramon.

"This doesn't feel right......destroying him like this.......what if this was one of our partners?" Davis asked, strangely quiet, his blue Veemon like ears drooping slightly.

"And if it was you know that the same thing would happen...." Matt replied, running a hand through long black hair and glaring at it as he did so.

"Ya......something is amplifying everyones hate.....its almost like they're glowing isn't it?" Ken asked the other three humans turned digimon.

"I bet Daemon did something!" Davis said, growling a little as he thought of all the things that Daemon had done to them and the Digidestined.

"Ch, I don't make suckers bets" Tai snorted, gazing over the battle field once more.

"Right. What's so interesting out there anyway?" Matt finally demanded. His curiousity was getting the better of him.

"I'm trying to see if I can find Takato...thats his partner so he should be able to stop him before he gets deleted" Tai replied quickly, not taking his eyes away from the land, and partially destroyed temple around them.

"Yah........" The other three agreed and set about trying to find Takato before the rest of the Digidestined finished Megidramon off.

*~*~*~*Mean while with Daemon and Kage*~*~*~*

Kage watched the battle with a growing smirk that quickly changed to an out right smile when he saw Megidramon.

"Excellent......one of the chosen will be partnerless and it will make all my job even easier since those pathetic Digidestined are doing all my work for me!" Kage spoke with a dark chuckle in his voice.

While Kage watched the Digidestined try and slaughter Megidramon, Daemon and what was left of his Daemon Corps entered quietly, trying to sneak a peak of what was happening in the mirror that Kage was looking over.

"Ah, Daemon. Isn't it wonderful? They're going to destroy themselves, the foolish creatures. Isn't amazing how stupid the human race as a whole can be?" Kage asked with the same dark chuckle as before.

"Hmf, I care not what you think of humans that are generally stupid, I want the power that I was promised for helping you!" Daemon said and glided forward while the Daemon Corps stayed back.

"And what are you going to do if I say that you haven't earned it yet?" Kage asked mockingly as he continued to watched the small battle that was still raging in front of Azulongmon's temple.

"I say that I am not some little hatchling for you to mock!" Daemon ground out angrily.

"Well you would be right, but since you HAVEN'T done what I asked of you I can not give you the power that you seek. Besides, until all of the chosen are out of the way, neither of us will have the power that we are seeking" Kage replied cooly, eyes still on the mirror.

Daemon blinked. It was true.....damn it! Daemon grumbled to himself about killing some such thing or another as he left the way he came.

The Daemon Corps minus LadyDevimon followed meekly behind their leader and wondered just what Kage had offered their boss to make him so obediant.

*~*~*~*~*Tamer's Realm, Souther Quadrant, Digital World*~*~*~*~*

The Devas had gathered around Zhuqioamon, who was perched carefully on the ground in his Palace.

They watched as Zhuqioamon called upon some of the ancient magic that had helped create the Digital Worlds in every Quadrant. It was Zhuqioamon's hope that if it was properly done, that it would help banish the growing evil that had invaded the worlds and was currently trying to over take the Eastern Quadrant were the most defences lay, Azulongmon's Digidestined.

Zhuqioamon had begun to glow while the 11 Deva's had been talking amoungst themselves.

The glowing ceased and Zhuqioamon opened his eyes, beak clacking and growled at the large stone that sat before him.

"I take it that you were not successful Sovereign?" Vajramon asked, talking a small step forward, hooves clacking as he did so.

"No.....the stone will not help......from what I managed to gather from it, all will be well again we just must be patient" Zhuqioamon replied and stared up at the ceiling of his prominent Palace.

"But surely if you tried again.....?" Makuramon asked hopefully. He trully believed that his Sovereign could do anything.

"I am sorry Makuramon but it seems our fate is sealed. It just remains to be seen if the chosens destiny will be fufilled......." Zhuqioamon said softly and slowly made his way out of the main chamber in the large and beautiful Palace, leaving the Deva's alone with their thoughts.

*~*~*~*~*Digidestined Realm, Eastern Quadrant, Digital World*~*~*~*~*

*~*~*Inside of Megidramon*~*~*

/No..........................must hurt....MUST HURT!!!/

//Hurt them.........they hurt bad!!!//

*~*~*Back out with everybody else*~*~*

"Alright, finish it everyone!" Yolie shouted above the din of battle. The digimon let loose their attacks once more and.........

There was a mighty explosion as the attacks slammed into Megidramon. He began to glow, data sparing and fizzling. His form began to shrink as he went from the mighty demon dragon of hell to two small forms that looked like they had seen better days.

Wait...two forms.....if Megidramon the alternate mega form of Guilmon, then what was lying on the ground?

Several digimon partners of the Eastern Digidested, Sakuyamon, Aldamon, Zephyrmon and Korikakumon all crept forward to find out what had seperated from Megidramon with Guilmon.

Gasps filled the air as the small group of them saw what lay in the battered earth.

Guilmon, data fizzling and slowly being drawn away by an invisible force and.........a bloody and beaten Takato.

"Takato!" Sakuyamon cried out, splitting apart into her seperate forms of Rika and Renamon who was still oddly coloured. The rest of the Tamers and the Northern Digidestined gathered around Guilmon and Takato's fadding forms.

"Oh god.....Takato..." Rika cried and gently moved Takato, careful of the wounds that he and Guilmon shared.

"Oh my god....." The Digidestined and everyone else whispered in shock as they gathered around Takato and Guilmon.

Guilmon's legs were completely gone and the deletion was spreading to his chest and arms by the time the entire group had gathered around the two, digimon and human alike.

"What happened?" Joe asked Rika and the other Tamers as he examined the wounds which would not stop bleeding, confirming what he already knew. Takato was dying.

"He must have Biomerged somehow. If that happened then that's why Takato is so hurt. When we Biomerge with our digimon partners we become one with them and we feel every hit and loss of energy when we fight. So if Takato Biomerged with Guilmon to form Megidramon........then that pretty much explains everything" Henry replied quietly, letting everyone think about what he said for a few moments.

The Digidestined were all in shock.

They couldn't comprehend what had hapened, what they had done.

Things like this weren't supposed to happen. They weren't supposed to loose any of their forces. Especially not to their own hands.

"Things like this aren't supposed to happen. We're the good guys right? Then why did we do this? Why did we try and delete Megidramon when we KNEW, we absolutely KNEW that Megidramon and Guilmon were one in the same? Would we have done that to any of our partners? Why did we fly off the handle so badly when we saw what Beelzebumon did? Why? WHY?!" Takayu screamed at the leaders of the Eastern Digidestined and the three Tamers who had gathered around Takato while their partners surrounded the small bits of data that were Guilmon.

No one answered Takuya's questions. No one had the answers.

The last of Guilmon's data sparked once before fadding away completely, along with Takato's life.

The Goggle-headed Tamer and his verocious but innocent partner were no more.

Gone.

Forever.

"TAKATO!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rika screamed and sobbed openly.

One of her friends was gone.

Dead in her hands.

All because of their hate.
