Chapter 59: The Ante Is Upped

"I don't think so!" Blackwargreymon shouted. He stepped between The Unnamed Figure and Matt. "I've seen you do enough damage, and I think it's high time your career ended! Terra Destroy---"

"Terminator Blaze!" Before Blackwargreymon could finish the attack, he had to set up a force field do protect himself from Armagemon's attack.

"You know," The Unnamed Figure said, "You'll be a great addition to our ranks." He pressed a few buttons on his D-Gauntlet, and a purple spiral appeared along the slot that his cards normally went through. The spiral shot off at Blackwargreymon. Blackwargreymon hesitated for a moment as the spiral took hold of him. He seemed to regain his senses, and he tore the spiral off.

"If you think that Ken's old technology will work on me when it was built to work on ultimates, you are dead wrong!"

"Besides, even with Armagemon, let's see you handle this!" Hare shouted, stepping out of Imperialdramon's force field. "Hare, module-evolve to…Firabbit!"

"Moochi, module-evolve to…Turtledove!"

"Tiger, module-evolve to…Thunderdog!"

"Pixie, module-evolve to…Mole Sprite!"

Getting out their evolution stones, Misty and Brock said, "Let's finish that bug!"

"Mega Flame Cannons!"

"Tsunami Blaster!"

"Static Warhead!"

"Laser Javelin!"

The four shots smacked Armagemon and did some visible damage. Armagemon roared at them.

"Well, then…" The Unnamed Figure sneered. "It's time to do some more damage!" He began firing purple control spirals at Blackwargreymon like there was no tomorrow. Try as Blackwargreymon might, he couldn't get them all off in time: he was under the control of The Unnamed Figure.

"Oh-oh!" Matt gulped.

"That's not our biggest problem, Matt!" Tai said, jumping out of Termon. "We need to finish Armagemon once and for all! Come on!"

"Agumon, warp-digivolve to…Wargreymon!"

"Metalgarurumon is still too far away for us to pull this off, Tai! He's fighting an evil clone of himself called Borggarurumon!"

"Then Wargreymon is just going to have to keep Blackwargreymon busy…"

"While I handle Armagemon!" Imperialdramon shouted. "Imperialdramon, mode-change to...Fighter Mode!" aiming his cannon straight at Armagemon's head. "Ultra cannon!"

The golden beam didn't do much damage, but it certainly got Armagemon's attention.

"You think you have it all figured out, don't you?" The Unnamed Figure asked.

"As a matter of fact, we do have it figured out!" Tai spat.

Termon returned to her normal mode. "Are you going to give up in peace, or in pieces?" she asked, charging her Laser Mandibles.

"You'll find out in a minute." Borggarurumon came flying down into the middle of the congregated monsters, and it looked the worse for wear. Ice crystals hung on its pelt, and its cannon had been completely torn off. It regressed back to Ewemon II.

"You people don't know how to make a digi-clone!" Metalgarurumon said as he landed.

"And you're still smiling?" Mole Sprite asked The Unnamed Figure.

"That fits right in to my plans, too…you see, I can't digivolve everyone all at the same time, but now…Digi-modify! Digivolution, activate!"

"Ewemon, digivolve to…Impostrogarurumon!"

"Maggotmon, digivolve to…Pestilimon!"

"This again!" Hare muttered.

"He's going to try to make Kamnadramon!" Ken shouted. "Somebody blast those champions before they DNA digivolve!"

"I'm one step ahead of you! Blackwargreymon, stop fighting Wargreymon, and make a force field around me and my digi-clones! Digi-modify! DNA digivolution, activate!"

"Impostrogarurumon!"

"Pestilimon!"

"DNA digivolve to…Eindramon!"

"This doesn't look good," Matt thought aloud.

"Let's do our thing! Good thing we brought a little insurance! Ghenki! We need your subspace energy!"

"Coming right up!" Ghenki answered, touching their digivices.

"Wargreymon!"

"Metalgarurumon!"

"DNA digivolve to…Omegamon!"

"You think that'll save you? You're dead wrong: Digi-modify! Counter-crest digivolution, activate!"

"Eindramon, mega-digivolve to…Kamnadramon!"

"Great…should Tina and I go get more fighters?" Termon asked.

"Not just yet, Termon!" Davis answered. "I think it's time we show this guy what Imperialdramon and Omegamon are really capable of!"

"I'm with you!" Tai agreed.

"Let's show this guy he can't win!" Matt shouted.

"Here goes nothing," Ken added, raising his digivice…

"Imperialdramon, mode-change to…Paladin mode!"

The Unnamed Figure swallowed hard. "All right…okay…not good…"

"Not evil, you mean!" Imperialdramon shot back, aiming his sword at Armagemon.

"…But you're not the only ones with this kind of trick up your sleeve…Digi-modify! Mode change, activate!"

"Kamnadramon, mode-change to…Necrid mode!" Kamnadramon and Armagemon fused and became a huge, black, bug-like digi-clone. It had two wicked-looking cannons on its back, and it had Armagemon's legs coming out of Kamnadramon's claws.

Imperialdramon swallowed hard. "This might actually be a problem, guys…"
