The Phoenix Eye Part IV: The Third Task

The entire group stood in total shock about what they were seeing in front of them. It seemed to be a dream at that point, or maybe just a cruel trick of the eye, but the light didn't lie. In front of them were J.C. and Rena's own digimon, or what seemed to be like them. They were carbon copies, almost exactly alike except for a distinct marking on their shoulders that looked like a dash of dry blood, engraved onto their skin.

"H- HH- How is this possible! So you two are supposed to go up against yourselves, but wouldn't it just end up in a draw?! This is soo weird." said J.C. even paler then usual.

"Well, Darkrenamon, we have a task ahead of us, maybe they can't digivolve. Should we give it a try." asked Cybermon with his fist ready.

"I don't see why not. Lets do it." , Darkrenamon said giving J.C. and Rena the signal.

"Warp digivolution Activate!" J.C. and Rena said in unison, causing one large dome of light to cover Cybermon and Darkrenamon

"Darkrenamon warp digivolve to---

"Cybermon warp digivolve to----

"Shamon!"

"Titancybermon!"

Titancybermon and Shamon put their staffs together and charged up one of the most powerful beams either had ever created alone and sent it straight at both opposing digimon.

"Cyber-Blast!" yelled the enemy Cybermon, transporting the beam towards their mega counterparts.

"Oh no, Titancybermon, think quick!" yelled Shamon

Titancybermon lifted his staff like a baseball bat and hit the beam straight into the ground, causing Darkrenamon and Cybermon to disappear.

"Okay, if we want to win this, we have to work together. I will be offense and Shamon, I think you would make an excellent defense." said Titancybermon as if coaching baseball.

"Titancybermon, I don't see how we can fight ourselves, it seems too, I don't know..."

"How do you think I felt when I faced Satancybermon. The exact same way. We just have to protect the children." Titancybermon said quickly, waiting for the doubles to show up again.

"Carson's digi-blast!!" yelled a voice from behind

Titancybermon and Shamon looked behind them to see another set of Titancybermon and Shamon, sending an attack at them.

"Diamond Shield!" yelled The good Shamon, deflecting the attack at the counterpart Titancybermon with a large yellow dome that covered Titancybermon and Shamon.

"Diamond Shield!" yelled the other Shamon, mimicking the other one and deflecting the attack right back at the other shield.

"Er, this is getting no where, its time to take a different approach" whispered Titancybermon, irritated behind the barrier as the beam bounced back and forth between shields. "If we use attacks that we absorbed from digimon, our stupid doubles can't counter them, because they haven't loaded the attacks."

Titancybermon popped out of the shield and fired several flame beams that he absorbed from Metalmeramon to be countered by the same attack from the evil Titancybermon. The good Titancybermon retreated back to the shield "So much for that plan." he said. "We have to outsmart them somehow... Shamon, get out of the shield and send out an attack as strong as you can create. Hurry."

"Umm, okay." Shamon said getting out of the shield " Aero-blaster!!!" she yelled sending millions of tiny beams that broke through the shield. The evil Titancybermon then used a Cyber-blast sending the attack back towards Shamon.

The good Titancybermon then appeared behind his evil counter Titancybermon and sent a Giga-cannon attack through his chest. He fell out of the air and onto the ground. Counter Shamon then grabbed Titancybermon sent him at Shamon. Shamon then rushed to Titancybermon and grabbed him before he made contact. Counter Titancybermon sent many laser blasts at the group when Titancybermon stood and took the attack.

"Now Shamon!" he yelled trying to shake off the attack as Counter Titancybermon still fired.

"Star crusher!" Shamon said as she sent huge flaming star shaped laser at Counter Titancybermon, paralyzing him.

Titancybermon snuck up behind Counter Shamon and hit her into the ground next to Counter Titancybermon.

"Titancybermon, now is your opportunity!" yelled Shamon

"Carson's Digi-blast!" he yelled out sending another wave at the two digimon, this time hitting head on.

As the explosion began to clear up, the two counter digimon could no longer be seen in the smoky finish.

Shamon had her back turned to the smoke when behind her, Counter Titancybermon appeared behind her and lifted his staff up to attack her. Titancybermon then swiftly lifted up his staff to counter him, breaking both staffs

"Thank you, Titancybermon, that could have been deadly."

"It was nothing, we have to eliminate that other Titancybermon imposter, with his Cyber-blast, he can keep deflecting attacks. You just need to find a way to break the shield when that other Shamon creates one."

"Right, but what's your plan?" said Shamon as Titancybermon gave her a long look of annoyance. "I am assuming you don't have a plan then?"

"That other Titancybermon doesn't have a staff, and that imposter Shamon is weakened, that was my plan." said Titancybermon restraining his voice from rising

"Well, as Rena would say, I have a newsflash for you. You don't have a staff either, and I'm not that much energized then the other Shamon."

"Then we need to put full force on my alleged look alike" roared Titancybermon lowly as he charged up a ball of energy in his palm and flew at his counterpart.

Shamon stood still in the air momentarily and then swiftly followed Titancybermon to be stopped by the badly bruised evil-Shamon.

"Shamon! Go now! We have to attack Titancybermon! Don't let her sidetrack you!" Titancybermon growled at Shamon who stood motionless in front of her angry counterpart.

"You are not going anywhere! You will face me you traitor!" yelled Counter-Shamon, leaping at Shamon with her enlarged claws and enflamed demeanor.

"You, don't know what you are doing, you are me, don't you understand that!" yelled Shamon, speedily evading contact with her opponents claws. "If you don't stop, you will leave me no choice but to use force."

Counter-Shamon grabbed at Shamon's throat. Titancybermon sent a large energy wave at Counter-Shamon's back, when he was hit over the head by his evil look alike.

Counter-Shamon tightened her grip on Shamon's throat and grinned with dire satisfaction as each claw slowly went into her throat one by one. Shamon started to become angrier and before the 5th claw could dice into her throat, her coating began to become layered by a silver ray.

Titancybermon tried to struggle away from his evil cloned self, who was also attempting to strangle him, towards Shamon. He punched at his face blindly with his back to his face and tried to break loose of his tight grip on his neck.

Shamon coat then started to become completely silver and her eyes started to change into a bright green shade. The more Counter-Shamon's nails sunk into Shamon's skin, the brighter she would become when her 9th razor sharp nail threatened her pierced throat, but before it made contact, the silver coating on Shamon's body turned into a pure gold shade and released an explosion of light that made the whole room become as bright as if the sun was lying inside the chamber itself. Counter-Shamon and Counter- Titancybermon were sent back and the others apparently had been left unaffected.

However as quickly as the light came, it immediately faded and Shamon could be seen on the ground with her coat its usual color and her eyes back to their normal state.

Titancybermon broke the silence and with a distinct stutter in his normally over confident tone, he muttered at Shamon "Wh-what the heck was that about!"

"I don't know, but it was something that had never happened to me before. Do you think it managed to destroy them?" said Shamon, not knowing much more about what happened then Titancybermon.

As if by cue, the ground began to rumble and Shamon quickly flew into the air. The solid surface beneath the ground started to falter as the center of it started to visibly crack open. Titancybermon glared behind him and saw another part of the ground starting to break open and in synchronization, two bright figures thrusted themselves out of the ground.

Dust and residue totally covered the scene and it seemed like a large sandstorm was occurring in front of their eyes. Titancybermon and Shamon remained airborne and unaffected when the dust slowly cleared away.

Behind the storm then stood two figures that seemed to be a very distorted Titancybermon and Shamon with their eyes bulging from their eye sockets and a green frame of a simple digital being on one of the sides of their bodies. Their teeth seemed enflamed and it seemed that they were inches away from an indistinct death or an inevitable mutilation of their bodies.

"Nobody will ever destroy us!" said a very raspy and indistinct voice that sounded nothing like Titancybermon.

"Try me!" yelled Titancybermon very disturbed about the beings as he sent a large sphere of light at both digimon.

The evil Shamon then flew in front of the blast and sent a high, blood curdling yell that sent the blast quickly into Titancybermon and blew up, covering both digimon in a dome of fire.

"That is it! Nobody will ever do that to my friends! I don't know about you Rena, but this is the last straw. Bio-Merge Digivolution Activate!" roared J.C. causing his DTV to turn J.C. into tiny grains of data

"J.C.! Don't do it without me!" Cried Rena angrily as she quickly unclipped her DTV "Bio-Merge Digivolution Activate!"

Rena then also turned into tiny golden grains of data and then was sent directly into Shamon.

"Shamon! Bio-merge to!! Neoshamon!" Shamon cried, as she curved into a more feminine shape and with longer hair.

"Titancybermon bio-merge to! Neotitancybermon!" Titancybermon said at the same time, gaining a long staff and getting taller and slimmer.

"HA! Nice trick, wish to see ours!" yelled the evil Shamon with her scary and drawn out voice. She mumbled several chants and reached at Counter-titancybermon's throat. "Do, it Titancybermon!"

The evil Titancybermon began to fade away into many spread out grains of data. Shamon reached for her chest and sent her claw straight into her own chest as data gushed from her body.

"What the heck are they doing!" yelled J.C. from the chambers of Titancybermon's mind "They are just killing themselves!"

Counter-Titancybermon's data were then merged into Counter Shamon's stomach and formed skin again that covered the great hole in her chest.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" The evil Shamon yelled as everyone watched in horror about what was occurring.

Countershamon yelled with all of her force as large wings sprouted out of her body and her entire body transformed into a large human and fox hybrid with gray wings sprouted out of its back and a mutilated Cybermon head sticking out of the center of its chest.

"I call myself Chaosdramon!" said the newly formed creature with a deep and almost fake low voice

"This is very creepy. Look at that thing!" Rena cried in her chamber

"We have to take this thing out quick and clean. Hopefully its not as tough as it is scary." said J.C. glaring at the screen in front of him

"We will take care of that." said the two digimon out loud.

"Carson's digi-blast!" yelled Neotitancybermon, sending his horrific sphere of thunder at Chaosdramon.

Chaosdramon stood motionless in front of the wave and seemed to absorb it as it made contact with its flesh. Its body became enlarged and expanded visibly past its maximum margins. Just as it seemed Chaosdramon was about to bust from the pressure, it suddenly released all of the energy sent at it directly back from its source.

Neotitancybermon observed this and then got a grin of satisfaction in his eyes. Instead of swinging his staff and deflecting the blast as he had done before, he lifted his staff and rather sent a stronger wave which merged with the first and sent itself into Chaosdramon.

Chaosdramon's eyes further bulged out and its body expanded even further then before.

"What do you think you are doing, we are going to kill ourselves with our own attacks!" said Neoshamon disapprovingly.

"Just trust me." said Neotitancybermon with mysterious motive "Neutron wave!" he cried sending more energy into Chaosdramon.

Chaosdramon was now more then 80 times its original size when it released all of its stored away energy which was now way past nuclear proportions.

"I never knew a clone of me could be so gullible." mumbled Neotitancybermon to himself. "NeoShamon! Hurry make a shield."

Neoshamon mumbled several phrases when the children and Neotitancybermon realized that they were surrounded in a large and thick dome of a golden shade. "You do realize that this shield wont stand more then a minute to that burst of energy that creature is sending.

"That is all I need." said Neotitancybermon with a coldness in his tone.

Chaosdramon in a mad anger put extreme force on the large energy wave, trying to break the shield while Neotitancybermon yelled profanities to further vex him [for naming purposes Chaosdramon is a guy]

"Nobody will escape my mercy! HAHAHAHHA!" maniacally laughed Chaosdramon, causing the shield to dent slightly.

"That's it...get angry. Hehah." mumbled Neotitancybermon to himself.

"What the heck is Neotitancybermon trying to do, Rena?" said J.C. very concerned.

"I don't know, geeze, I wish we could read their thoughts in these stupid chambers." said Rena more irritated then concerned.

"What's the matter you big tub of lard, are you too weak to break our little shield open! Huh, if I was on the other side of this shield, I could have broken it open a long time ago. I guess you replaced all of your digimon pride with imaginary diligence. Oh, well. Makes it more fun for me. HAHAHA. Do you need help. I would say ladies first, but its kind of hard saying that to a hermaphrodite." Neotitancybermon yelled to Chaosdramon, mocking him by sending a tiny laser through the shield.

Chaosdramon turned an angry color of crimson and started causing the earth beneath him to crack open "I need help from nobody! I am the most powerful creature ever created. I am a clone of both of you and are more powerful, more intelligent, and more resourceful then all of your pathetic powers combined! I don't even need two life forces inside of me, I could easily defeat you with one part of my psyche!"

"Sorry, I didn't notice that part when you were eating the ground beneath me as Titancybermon" said Neotitancybermon with a large grin on his face.

"You shall be the first of my victims and I shall take pleasure in destroying you! HAHAHAHA! Nobody mocks Chaosdramon! NO ONE!!" Chaosdramon roared, sending a horrific amount of energy into the shield. The ground beneath him broke into pieces, reveling a magma ground and geysers of flames surrounded the corners of his body. He then created a large staff and swung it with all of his force, creating a huge gash between dimensions and crushing the shield into many shards of basic glass now, that melted into the magma ground. "Look at your shield now! Look at you now! You are at MY mercy and now it is the end, for you and your humans! MUHAHAHAHAHAHhahahAHAh!"

Neotitancybermon stared with satisfaction at the gash in the air above Chaosdramon. He signaled Shamon to follow his movements and then flew face to face in front of Chaosdramon.

"You are so gullible that it almost irks me. You are such an idiot that it isn't even amusing anymore. This is your downfall Chaosdramon!" Neotitancybermon yelled waving his staff directly into the gash in the sky, enlarging it and causing a large force of wind, driving everybody upwards.

"What the hell are you doing!" Chaosdramon yelled trying to keep himself towards the ground "If you further that gash, you will destroy us all you fool!"

"No, I will be destroying you. When we biomerge with our humans, we can get readings on our enemy digimon, and I noticed, when you fused together, you totally changed your type and your powers. It is true that your powers do very much exceed mine, but you have lost your powers to use Cyber-portals." Neotitancybermon said with his eyes glaring at Chaosdramon.

"What does that have to do with anything!?" demanded Chaosdramon

Neoshamon interrupted finally understanding Neotitancybermon's plan "He can Cyber blast himself out of trouble...you can't"

"See ya, Chaosdramon!" Neotitancybermon said, hitting Chaosdramon towards the gash in the air with his staff.

"No! You wont take me out that easily! " Chaosdramon yelled from the air towards the gash, sending a large cable at Neoshamon and dragging her up to the gash as well.

"Neoshamon!" cried Neotitancybermon

"Just let us go!" cried Rena's voice from Neoshamon's body "You can take on our enemy by yourself. We believe in you!"

Neotitancybermon's fist started to glow a golden color as he aimed it directly at Chaosdramon. He fired a long golden beam towards Chaosdramon, sending him into the gash and leaving Shamon unaffected. "Cyber-Blast!" Chaosdramon then cried, transporting Neoshamon into his arms.

Chaosdramon stood at the barrier between dimensions, struggling to stay away from the entrance.

Neotitancybermon then thought on edge and fired a Carson's digi-blast at the magma under Chaosdramon, causing the core of the digital world to swallow him into its dark depths.

Neoshamon wiggled her way out of Neotitancybermon's arms and said "You have to seal those two openings, or you will disrupt the digital balance on whatever dimension we are in."

Neotitancybermon then fired a dark wave of energy at the two holes in the sky and ground, sealing both up to their original form.

The whole area then started to fade away and turned back into the throne room. Both digimon had de-digivolved back into their original rookie forms and the children back to their own bodies. The whole room was silent.

"Well!" yelled Cybermon in a furious tone "What do you have to say! We finished your stupid tasks and even managed to defeat your stupid juiced up versions of ourselves. Don't you have anything to say! WELL!"

The voice from behind the throne suddenly spoke in an overly calm tone "Why, I knew you would do it the whole time."

"What is that supposed to mean." said J.C. almost about to cry in frustration.

"Simple, I knew that you were very capable of doing all of those tasks." said the voice not getting the anguish of the others

"But why did you make us to them!" yelled Rena

"For entertainment purposes."

All 4 of the group then suddenly fell over Japanese style.

The voice then started to seem more irritated "You were at my----" the voice then paused as several low voices started to be heard from behind the throne. "They are who!?" the voice quietly yelled out. "How is that possible. I thought they were just tamers. I had no idea the she could ever...well this changes everything...."

"What changes everything." asked J.C. curiously

The voice then reappeared in its normal tone again " You thought that you two could fool me. Well, I have news for you. I have my sources and I know your little secret Rena..."

"What secret? I'm sorry, but I don't have any idea what you are talking about." said Rena very sincerely "Do you know what they are talking about Darkrenamon?"

"Do you want a lie?" asked Darkrenamon very genuinely

Enraged, Rena yelled, "NO!"

"Then, yes." said Darkrenamon honestly

"So you admit it. You have been toying with me the whole time. Well remember that battle with me we were talking about."

"Yes" said all four in unison

"It is war now. HAHAHHAHHAHAHA" yelled the voice as he caused the large throne to explode into tiny pieces.

The whole group waited anxiously to see what was behind the throne and when the smoke finally cleared, they were right about one thing, it was a human behind the smoke, but one thing that they didn't bargain for was that the person behind the smoke was one of their own. He was a relatively short being, he had goggles around his head, but the one thing that stood out was his huge and almost untamed hair.

He walked forward towards the tamers and their digimon, and spoke in a different voice. "My name is Tai, and its time for you to die."

Behind Tai then stood up his digimon and 5 other children, with their digimon also by their sides.
