Guard Tamer: Associates of Anarchy

Chapter 10: Operation Presidency
Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean was a mighty naval fleet belonging to the United States of America. Dozens of steel warships cut through the waters on their way to support a war in the Middle East. Among these ships was the latest product of American technological power, the USS Reagan. It was an island of steel in the vast empty reaches of the sea, a base of operations for America's air force. The American Navy and Air Force were about to face something they had never fought before; Digimon.
Deep beneath the waters of the Pacific, several inhuman figures stirred in the darkness. A pair of crimson eyes opened, as though having sensed the ships above. One of the figures stood upright, revealing itself to be a creature whose head was like that of an octopus. The vaguely humanoid creature had a violet, rubbery body, and wings like that of a bat. Its arms and legs were merely tentacles similar to those on its face. The creature, known as Dragomon, magically formed a trident and prepared to strike.
====================Digimon Analyzer====================
Name: Dragomon
Attribute: Virus
Level: Ultimate
Element: Water
Dragomon are the masters of the oceans of the Dark Area. The most powerful Dragomon are capable of controlling water and the weather with a thought.
Attacks:
Tentacle Claw - This weapon is a Chrome Digizoid trident. It can pierce through even the most heavily armoured ship.
Tentacle Flapping - Dragomon can lash out with tentacles such as the ones on his face and crush his victim.
Several blips appeared on the Reagan's sonar. "Captain, we have dozens of sonar contacts beneath us!" cried a sailor.
"Sound the alarm! Helmsman, evasive manoeuvres!" ordered the captain.
Suddenly, a maelstrom formed beneath one of the aircraft carriers. The ship was rendered helpless as it spun in a rapid, dizzying circle that threw the crew into the walls of their own ship. The carrier's planes were slammed into the walls, nearly crushing the mechanics on duty. On the deck, the sailors held on for dear life to avoid being flung into the sea itself. One of the unlucky ones lost his grip, and was battered into the sea by the aft of the ship.
The naval fleet saturated the sea with a seemingly endless torrent of depth charges. However, this was not enough to ward off their attackers. A trident skewered one of the gunboats and lifted it into the air like a trophy. Dragomon's head popped out of the water and his facial tentacles latched on and crushed the ship like a soda can. Several sailors abandoned the ship and swam away from the angry beast as fast as they could.
One by one, the Digimon demolished the American fleet, leaving the USS Reagan as the only survivor. A Bulbmon materialized over the Reagan's flight deck and landed with a thud that shook the entire ship. AoA Digimon swarmed out and began exchanging fire with the crew. A fireball exploded in the midst of the soldiers and wiped them out. The Digimon swept through the ship and killed anyone that crossed their path.
Upon discovering that the ship had been secured, Vemmon, the leader of the Digimon, exited the Bulbmon. He was a small reptilian creature with a violet, scaly skin. He adjusted his beret and scanned the carnage through his black shades. He enjoyed seeing the results of the bloodbath and a smug grin formed on his face. He made his way to the bridge and kicked the body of the mutilated captain out of his way. He ordered his troops back to the Bulbmon as he made his way to the bridge.
"Heh heh heh! They think they can shut us down in the Real World? Destromon will show them just how foolish they are," said Vemmon.
Vemmon dug his claws into one of the Reagan's control panels. At once, Vemmon's very being entered the computers of the Reagan. He began to merge with the aircraft carrier, which began an unnatural transformation into the Digimon known as Destromon. Parts of the ship shifted and formed a crimson, half-human, half dragon body with gold markings. From each of its shoulders extended a trio of massive cannons. Several golden talons grew out of Destromon's massive hands, and he roared in triumph.
Destromon marched towards the shores of Japan as the next phase of his operation. Several American fighter planes flew in to intercept. The pilots contacted their carrier with confirmation of Destromon's sighting and received orders to engage the beast. A series of swooshes filled the air as the pilots launched missiles into the creature's back. After the explosions had settled, the pilots realized their attack had no effect.
"The target is undamaged! I repeat; the target is undamaged!" said a pilot into his radio.
Some distance away, a second fleet of American battleships trained their guns onto Destromon. They unleashed a deafening bang with every shot they fired. The shells burst around Destromon like a fireworks display on a national holiday. The planes turned around for a second attack run and pelted Destromon with more missiles and machinegun fire. The behemoth was irritated and proceeded to eliminate the pests firing at him.
Destromon swivelled to follow the planes and flooded his airspace with the bursting of shells. The pilots immediately began evasive manoeuvres upon realizing they were taking fire. One by one, the bursting shells knocked the planes out of the sky until none were left. Several unseen shells collided with his face, enraging him even further. He traced their path back to the battleships and immediately trained his weapons onto them.
A trail of blue sparkles left his cannon as a slug shot outwards at a battleship. The ship's armour may as well have been butter due to the ease with which the slug burned through the metal. The slug punched a trail of holes all the way through to the other side of the hull. Water began flooding into the ship and the alarm sounded. The crew tried desperately to seal off the flooded compartment.
The ship suddenly tilted forwards. "Damn! What the hell did he hit us with?" asked the captain.
"It must be some sort of rail gun!" replied tactical officer.
A shell struck the bridge, hurtling the crew to the ground. The explosion wounded the captain in the leg. "Argggh!" groaned the captain.
"Captain!" asked one of the sailors.
"I'll live," replied the captain, as the sailor helped him onto his feet. He grabbed a radio to give orders. "All hands, abandon ship! Abandon ship!"
The crew of the battleship scrambled for the lifeboats. They rowed out to sea to see their ship swallowed by the seemingly endless waters of the Pacific. The battle with Destromon still raged on, and shells burst all around from the exchange of fire. The American fleet fought back with courage, but it was clear that they were outmatched. Another ship sank beneath the waves, and another. They had no choice but to flee for their lives from Destromon's relentless assault.
****************************************
"This monster appeared after an attack on an American naval fleet travelling to the war in Iraq. After decimating the JSDF naval fleet, the creature continued its advance towards Tokyo Bay. The authorities are urging residents to vacate the area as soon as possible," announced the reporter on TV.
Yamaki was deeply disturbed by this event. The Japanese authorities had acquired information from whistle-blowers within the Digimon Online Corporation. This valuable and damning evidence had allowed them to freeze the assets of the AoA and arrest their agents in the Real World. At the same time, the Guard Tamers cracked down on AoA cells in the Digital World. However, it appeared that these activities displeased the AoA greatly. They had created Destromon as a means of retaliation.
"...And here I was, thinking we weren't going to get any action," commented Kazu.
"Yeah, and now we've got everything we could ever want and more!" quipped Kenta.
The Tamers had volunteered to stop the rogue Digimon as best they could. Thus, the Hypnos crew drove them across the city in a van to the harbour, where they would intercept Destromon and attempt to destroy him. As they moved closer to the site of their battle, the bangs from exploding shells became ever louder. They could see Destromon's massive body looming in the distance, and could tell they had a major fight on their hands.
The Hypnos van stopped at the edge of a harbour. "Good luck, kids!" said Riley and Tally.
"Go get him!" cheered Yamaki.
With the support of their allies, the Tamers and Digimon charged into battle. Kazu produced a Blue Card and slashed it through his D-Power. "Digimodify! Matrix Digivolution activate!"
"Guardromon, Matrix Digivolve to..."
Guardromon's body elongated to become more like that of a regular human. His rust coloured metal body turned into the greyish purple flesh of an inhuman creature. Portions of high tech Chrome Digizoid armour grafted itself onto his body, leaving only his right leg exposed. His chest plate opened and launched a pair of missiles into the air. Guardromon, now in his Ultimate form of Andromon, struck a battle ready pose.
"Andromon!"
"Biomerge activate!" cried Ryo.
"Cyberdramon, Biomerge to..."
The azure Digivolutionary energy pulled the bodies of Ryo and Cyberdramon into one. A heroic figure with a crimson scarf zoomed across the sky. He was a superhero in a purple and white spandex suit. His face was concealed behind a visor of silver Chrome Digizoid. The superhero turned his cybernetic right arm into a gun and mowed down a horde of demons. The superhero struck a noble, heroic pose for all to see.
"Justimon!"
"Impmon, Warp Digivolve to... Beelzemon Blast Mode!"
Beelzemon flew up behind Destromon's head and introduced himself with a shot from his positron powered gun, the Corona Blaster. "Yeah! Nice shot, Beelzemon!" cheered Calumon from the sidelines.
The explosion was immense and knocked Destromon face first into the ground. "Heh heh heh! Sweet!" remarked Beelzemon.
Destromon had left an imprint of himself where he fell, but would not be put out of action so easily. He rose to his feet; incensed at Beelzemon's rude introduction. "Cheap shot!" cried Destromon.
"Yeah? Well, there's more where that came from, buddy!" replied Beelzemon.
Destromon was clocked from behind once again, this time by Justimon's shots, Andromon's missiles, and Marine Angemon's bubble shaped hearts. "Yeah, really courageous..." said Destromon sarcastically. "You guys want to try that again, now that I can see you?"
"Keep at it guys! Let him have it!" cried Calumon.
Destromon decided to make the first move and began to shell the Digimon with his cannons. Though he filled the air with explosions, they all darted out the way and evaded his attack. Beelzemon shot the massive dragon man in the ribs, but that served only to nudge him rather than cause any real damage. Destromon lashed out with his claws and smashed Beelzemon through the wall of a nearby warehouse.
While Beelzemon had Destromon preoccupied, Justimon nailed him in the back with a flying kick. Instead of bouncing off, the superhero Digimon grabbed onto Destromon's back and produced a blade of orange energy. As he descended, he sliced down Destromon's back making him scream in pain. Andromon and Marine Angemon peppered the wound with blade shaped energy shots, and heart shaped bubbles. Destromon tumbled onto the ground with a thud.
"I think we got him!" said Ryo and Cyberdramon.
"Guess again!" cried Destromon defiantly.
His claw suddenly shot out into Justimon and smashed him into the water. Destromon subsequently felled Andromon with a rail gun slug. Destromon turned his attention to Marine Angemon and saturated the air with bursting flak. The fairy-like angel had no way of escaping, despite his small stature and great mobility. He fell into the ocean like a stone being dropped from the sky.
"This is not good," commented Calumon. "I hope they're alright..."
Destromon, content with his victory over the Digimon, walked westward towards the Shinjuku area. As he advanced, he shelled every building in his sight. He left nothing behind but a trail of rubble and smouldering buildings. Some time later, Marine Angemon popped out of the water, and behind him was a giant heart shaped bubble made of water. Inside was Justimon, who gestured to Calumon to indicate he was fine. The two were joined by Beelzemon and Andromon, who had also recovered from their defeat.
"This guy's a tougher nut to crack than I thought!" admitted Beelzemon.
"He's going to tear the city apart if we don't do something!" warned Justimon.
"Well don't just stand there! Follow him!"
****************************************
Beams of intense heat shot out of War Growlmon's chest-mounted cannons. Upon striking an AoA humvee, they melted it into a puddle of liquid. Taomon blocked an incoming fireball with a rose coloured, globular barrier as Rapidmon shelled a garrisoned building with missiles. Amar levelled the minotaur Digimon, Minotarumon, with a swivelling low kick before picking him up and slamming him into the ground. He cast a glance at the flaming AoA base and the bodies of AoA Digimon and soldiers littered all around the area.
"We really did a number on this place," commented Rapidmon, as he reverted to Terriermon.
"Yeah, but the AoA won't be bothering Byakko again, at least for awhile," agreed Amar.
Just hours ago, they had received a response from the Guard Tamer camp in the East Sector. Suzie and Akira had made it back to base safely, and were directing a massive invasion of Asuka City. Henry was the happiest of them all after discovering that Suzie was fine. However, a reunion would have to wait until after the AoA had been dealt with. The Tamers had occupied an important strategic position with their liberation of Byakko City and the West Sector.
Akira had told them to remain in the West Sector and mop up as part of the strategy to retake Asuka. In the west were the Digimon Tamers, the Online Tamers of Byakko, and the Digimon of the West Sector. In the East were the Guard Tamers and their allies. Suzaku Leader and her loyalists occupied the South Sector and had pledged their support. Asuka's north wasn't any better; it was blocked off by steep, treacherous mountains. The AoA was in a precarious position being surrounded on all sides.
In the South Sector was the beautiful seaside Suzaku City. The city consisted of a series of wooden platforms and bridges built over the waters of the Central Sea of Asuka Server. This city had a distinctly Chinese decor dominated by effigies of phoenixes that represented Suzaku. The city was bustling with preparations for war. The Digimon and Online Tamers loaded cargo into several wooden boats moored in the docks.
Leading all of this activity was Suzaku Leader, a beautiful Chinese woman in her mid to late teens. She had long, lustrous black hair and wore a red Chinese-style uniform. On the left side of her chest was a badge depicted a phoenix with its wings open. Her Digimon companion and assistant was Red Veggiemon, a red, eggplant-like creature with a pair of vines. These vines functioned like arms and ended in barbed bulbs.
====================Digimon Analyzer====================
Name: Red Veggiemon
Attribute: Virus
Level: Champion
Element: Nature
Red Veggiemon is a common sight in the forests and jungles of the Digital World. This plant Digimon has a very hot temper which results in the reddening of his body.
Attacks:
Spike Punch - Red Veggiemon uses the barbed bulbs on his vines to lash out at a victim. The vines can lengthen themselves to strike a distant opponent.
Chilli Pepper Pummel - Red Veggiemon can spit multiple chilli peppers as a ranged attack. They inflame the victim's skin upon contact.
"Move that into these boats," directed Suzaku Leader to a worker.
"How long do we have until we begin the attack?" asked Red Veggiemon.
"Very soon. I'm waiting for word from the East Sector. They're hammering the AoA very hard with raids and guerrilla attacks. They're going to retake the Protocol Ruins and stage their attack from there."
A few days had passed and the South Sector forces finished their preparations for combat. The Guard Tamers recaptured Protocol Ruins and signalled to the South to begin the attack. At once, dozens of Online Tamers and their non-aquatic Digimon scrambled for the boats. The waters near Suzaku City filled with hundreds of marine Digimon. Some of those with Digimon had gone on ahead to clear a landing zone for the boats. Others remained behind to tow and defend the boats as they landed on Shell Beach south of the Central Park.
At Shell Beach, the battle had already begun. Megadramon, Gigadramon, and other aerial Digimon peppered the coastal defences with repeated elemental and missile strikes. The sky filled with explosions as AoA terrestrial Digimon fired into the air, and their aerial Digimon met the enemy. A massive tidal wave swept its way across the sea towards the beach. The terrified AoA troopers and Digimon abandoned their gun emplacements for fear of being swept away.
The first wave of Suzaku Leader's forces had reached the beach. A Dragomon emerged from the depths of the sea and an AoA Mega Kabuterimon barred his way. It fired a bolt of electricity at Dragomon, making him convulse in pain. In retaliation, Dragomon whipped the giant beetle with his facial tentacles before impaling it with his trident. He pulled out his trident and the Mega Kabuterimon collapsed onto the ground and disintegrated.
Suzaku Leader and her troops approached the battle. "Okay, this is it guys! The AoA line is falling!"
****************************************
Henry's family, the Wong family, grabbed their belongings and boarded the family car to evacuate. It was a difficult task for the JSDF to evacuate people from a large area such as a city. The sidewalks were filled with armed servicemen and police supervising and directing the flow of traffic. The streets were clogged with cars of other refugees fleeing from the AoA's war on the Real World. The traffic jam seemed to extend infinitely both ahead and behind the Wong family.
Janyu's family was getting restless and Janyu himself was growing frustrated. "Come on, that thing could come here any minute!"
"I'm still worried about our children!" said Mayumi, Janyu's wife.
"We can't do anything about them now, honey. We have no choice but to trust their Digimon to protect them." Janyu sighed. "I just hope we'll still be around so they have a family to come home to..."
The Odaiba area near Tokyo Bay had already been demolished. With nothing left to do there, Destromon moved his rampage deeper into Tokyo. He travelled westward to the district of Shinjuku, leaving utter devastation in his path. His cannons banged as they lobbed shell after shell into the homes and offices of the citizens. His machineguns pelted a corporate building until it was filled with holes like Swiss cheese. The JSDF had long evacuated the area so no one was in danger.
"Come on! He's going to reach Shinjuku soon!" cried Ryo. Justimon soared through the air with Beelzemon right behind him.
Destromon had run into the Guard Tamer forces that remained behind to protect the Hypnos building. It was clear from the destruction of the nearby buildings that the two sides had engaged in battle. Unfortunately, the Guard Tamer forces had lost, even with Megas fighting on their side. However, from fighting both the Guard Tamers and the Digimon Tamers, Destromon did suffer a moderate amount of damage. Justimon glanced at the battered bodies of Destromon's former opponents.
As the Digimon King, Ryo instantly recognized them. The first was Anubismon, a tall half man, half jackal hybrid. He had blue skin and wings with brown feathers on his back. This Digimon was clothed in noble Egyptian garb and jewellery. His ally, Imperial Dramon, was a hulking dragon that was encased in black, cybernetic Chrome Digizoid armour, and had blue skin. Ryo recognized him as being partnered to Davis Motomiya and his old friend Ken Ichijoji, two characters from the Digimon TV show.
====================Digimon Analyzer====================
Name: Anubismon
Attribute: Vaccine
Level: Mega
Element: Holy/Dark
Anubismon is the warden that guides the data of dead Digimon to rebirth. He is a rarity among Digimon kind since he can wield both light and dark powers adeptly.
Attacks:
Amemit - This creature of the night is known as the "Eater of the Dead." Anubismon summons him to attack his enemies.
Pyramid Power - Anubismon can create pyramids made of positive energy that zaps enemies on contact. He can encase himself as a protective shield, or trap his foe inside.
====================Digimon Analyzer====================
Name: Imperial Dramon
Attribute: Vaccine
Level: Mega
Element: Metal
With the endangerment of the Veemon species, the Imperial Dramon species was thought to have vanished from the Digital World. The Gold Hawks have saved this species' predecessors from extinction and enlisted them in their armies.
Attacks:
Positron Laser - Imperial Dramon can fire a concentrated beam of energy from the cannon mounted into his armour.
Mega Crusher - Instead of as a beam, Imperial Dramon can fire energy in multiple, rapid bursts from his cannon.
Ryo began to wonder how his old friend Ken was doing. He remembered his mission and turned his thoughts to a way of beating Destromon. Justimon intervened in Destromon's fun and kicked him in the back of the head. Beelzemon followed suit, took aim, and fired his Corona Blaster into the small of Destromon's back. Again, the attacks toppled the robotic dragon man, but they didn't keep him down for long. He got up and turned to face his attackers. Beelzemon and Justimon entered combat ready stances to prepare for their enemy's retaliation.
Destromon was filled with ennui. "You guys again?"
"Yeah, that's right! Don't think you're going to get rid of us that easily!" reminded Beelzemon.
"Looks like you guys just don't know when to quit. It's time I taught you a lesson!"
Destromon flooded the air with the bursting of shells. Justimon and Beelzemon were pushed into the defensive and began shielding themselves with their arms. Andromon and Marine Angemon entered the battle and opened fire, but Destromon's armour just absorbed the shock of the shots un damaged. The two Digimon fled for cover as he turned around and started shelling them.
"Man, what does it take to stop this guy?" asked Kazu.
Justimon and Beelzemon recovered. "Justimon, use your sword and make a nice dent for me," requested Beelzemon. "I've got a plan, but I'll need some time to set up."
"Yeah, I get it!" replied Justimon.
Justimon unsheathed a dangerous blade of orange energy and charged at Destromon. He weaved left and right and evaded all of his opponent's shots. He reached Destromon's massive body and began to bounce up to the dragon man's head, dodging each of Destromon's attempts to swat him off. Justimon slashed Destromon's head and the dragon man reared back in pain. On the way down, Justimon made a huge overhand slash, just as Beelzemon finished drawing a pentagram in the air for his Corona Destroyer attack.
Beelzemon fired repeatedly through the pentagram, and it amplified each shot's power greatly. Destromon was shoved backwards with each hit until he lost his balance and fell onto his back. Beelzemon knew that he had dealt the dragon man a severe blow. Though Destromon did return to his feet, Beelzemon could see the marks and dents he had created. With that and Destromon's previous injuries, he didn't seem nearly as invincible as before.
However, Destromon was also enraged by being a victim to such a powerful attack. The dragon man pounded the area with a seemingly endless stream of bursting shells. One by one, the Digimon fell to the relentless assault, beginning with Beelzemon and ending with Marine Angemon. Justimon charged the dragon as a desperation move, and evaded each of the explosions. Eventually, his attack came to an end as Destromon clawed him out of the air and hurtled him into a building.
The building crumbled and buried Justimon alive under its rubble. Kazu began to panic and fled as Destromon moved to his location. It was a futile gesture as Destromon's huge size allowed him to cover great distances with each step. A sparkling trail of azure light left Destromon's cannon. The slug travelled unerringly forward, striking and burning a hole through Kazu's right leg. A bloody mist sprayed out of Kazu's leg moments before he collapsed.
Kenta heard an agonized scream and saw a trail of blood leading up to his friend. He was paralyzed with fear. With that grievous injury, Kazu was no longer capable of standing, let alone run. He was in too much pain to notice that Destromon had caught up to him. Kazu was about to be crushed underfoot when Andromon darted over at maximum speed to stop Destromon's foot. Even with Andromon's immense strength, Destromon was still far too heavy.
"I can't hold on much longer!" warned Andromon. "Kenta get him out of there!"
Kenta was still paralyzed with fear. Before Destromon's foot sank and crushed Kazu and Andromon, a powerful golden glow emanated from them. The massive Destromon was blinded and taken aback. "What?"
Kazu was now fully healed by the light. "Biomerge activate!"
Kazu's clothes disintegrated and the power of Digivolution drew Tamer and Digimon together. "Andromon, Biomerge to..."
A vision of a vast laboratory appeared. Andromon was on an operating table with mechanical arms working on him. They removed his old armour and encased him in a sleek, black Chrome Digizoid exoskeleton. The arms finished by attaching a red, dragon head-like protector to his left shoulder, and a blue one on his right. The new, higher tech Andromon leapt off the table and split into two. They spun back to back in a circle, and burned everything to the ground with green lasers. Upon landing, they merged into one and struck a triumphant pose.
"High Andromon!"
====================Digimon Analyzer====================
Name: High Andromon
Attribute: Vaccine
Level: Mega
Element: Metal
When he is split into two, High Andromon can be quite a clown. Nevertheless, he shouldn't be underestimated as he incorporates the most powerful weapons technology available to the Digital World.
Attacks:
Atomic Ray - High Andromon can fire destructive green beams of pure nuclear energy. Fortunately, their radioactivity only lasts for a very brief moment.
Copy Paste - With a preying gesture, High Andromon can channel power to create a single temporary duplicate of himself. Each individual copy has only 75% of the original's power, but any injuries received apply to the original once they reunite.
Kazu opened his eyes and gazed upon the world for the first time as a Digimon. "Whoa, cool! I'm a Digimon! Wait 'til the others hear about this!"
"So you Digivolved to Mega. Like that will help..." mocked Destromon.
"You have caused enough damage already, scoundrel!" said Guardromon. "It is time that I, High Andromon, bring you to justice!"
High Andromon began by leaping into the air and opening a bay in his chest. Several volleys of rockets pounded Destromon in the chest. As he landed, High Andromon entered into a preying stance before his duplicate leapt out of his body. Destromon recovered and shelled the two High Andromon, but they leapt in different directions. Unable to keep track of them both, Destromon decided to focus on fighting only one of them.
The two exchanged fire until the High Andromon vanished into thin air. "Copy..." said High Andromon.
His duplicate leapt out of his body. "...Paste!"
Behind Destromon, the other High Andromon split into two again and fired a glowing green beam. The duplicate mirrored the attack, and the beams struck the unsuspecting Destromon in his left shoulder. The explosions triggered secondary explosions from the detonation of his ammunition and severed his left arm. Destromon traced the attack and discovered the two High Andromon.
"GRRRRR..." growled Destromon.
"Are we..." began one of the High Andromon in Guardromon's voice.
"...annoying you?" continued the second with Kazu's voice.
Indeed, the two High Andromon couldn't be more irritating. Destromon flew into a rage and promptly charged at the two. The High Andromon dodged again, leaping into opposite directions. A shot came from the left, so Destromon swivelled to find his attacker. Destromon fired a rail gun slug, but the High Andromon evaded with immense speed. Suddenly, a beam struck Destromon in the back of the head and felled him.
As he rose to his feet, the High Andromon continued the taunting. "Don't get up. What's the rush?" asked the High Andromon with Guardromon's voice.
"When you fight High Andromon, your back always faces us!" mocked the Kazu duplicate.
"We're too much for you!" the two clones declared in unison.
"You can't beat one..." began the Kazu duplicate.
"...so don't try two!" finished the Guardromon duplicate.
Beelzemon, Justimon, and Marine Angemon surrounded the fallen Destromon. "Kazu, you Biomerged?" asked Marine Angemon.
"Yeah, that's right!" replied the Guardromon copy.
"We've just retaken the fight!" replied the Kazu copy.
"Oh great, the rhyming twins..." mumbled Beelzemon.
"He getting up!" said the Guardromon clone.
"Let's finish him off!" said the Kazu clone. "Atomic...
"...Ray!"
The two High Andromon clones fired at Destromon and the other Digimon joined in. In a brilliant flash of light, Destromon exploded into nothingness. "Yeah, we won!" exclaimed Marine Angemon.
Yamaki and his crew pulled up beside the Tamers. "You did it kids! I don't believe it but you actually beat him!"
High Andromon split back into Kazu and Guardromon. "It was nothing..." said Kazu with an air of cockiness.
"Nothing at all..." said Guardromon. The Tamers and Digimon chuckled leaving Yamaki wondering what was so funny. As they laughed, a black helicopter took off from the Hypnos Towers unnoticed...
