Chapter 4 - Last Resort
A little ways away, a giant tree was ablaze in monstrous flames. There was no particular assailant in sight, but a dark figure appeared propped up against the back of the tree. It swung around the giant candle, and the lanky fellow stared out at the group with white eyes.
The crew gasped as they beheld their hated nemesis.
Vampiromon chuckled as he stood in front of the tree, "I told you I'd be back."
Julian cocked his head, "No ya didn't!"
"WELL,YOU SHOULD OF KNOWN I'LD BE BACK, YOU LITTLE PUNKS!" Vampiromon yelled.
Davis laughed out loud, "You're a moron!"
"SHUT UP!" Vampiromon yelled back.
"Really, you digidestined should have more respect for a knight in her unholy court." the flame seemed to call.
The burning branches shook as something leaped out of the pyre. It was a burning, black figure that made a flip and landed only a few feet from Vampiromon.
Vampiromon motioned to the burning fellow, "Let me introduce my esteemed colleague, Asuramon."
"Don't worry, Vampiromon. I'll teach them some respect."
"Who are these jokers?" Gatomon said indignantly.
"...or if I don't," Asuramon continued, "he will!" he said pointing towards the ground.
There was an intense rumbling in the ground. The land beneath the burning tree broke and cracked as something big dug itself through the earth. Soon a silvery carapace could seen cracking the roots of the tree as it fell over. A robotic dinosaur pulled itself from the sink hole it had just created, and roared ominously.
"This is our friend Metal Tyrannomon." Vampiromon smiled cunningly, "Nuff said."
"Boy, do these guys like to make an entrance." Izzy said.
That girls voice, that haunted the groups first encounter returned, but where it had come from no where and everywhere, now it had a central point. Off in the forest, the possessor of that voice lurked, no longer imposing her eeriness.
"Enough." she called, "I know what you digidestined are doing, and I can't allow it. I will destroy you and take control of that convenient little portal of yours"
"Fat chance your gonna stop us." Julian called back, "Let's get 'em."
Julian held up his digivise and the rest followed suit.
"No!" She Leomon yelled.
Julian turned his head, "Excuse me?"
"You need to go to the digital world, so Hackmon can close it. We can't let HER get a hold of it."
Julian got a totally stupefied look on his face, "I'm not gonna skip out, when the enemy's right over there. Now let's go!"
"Simianmon digivolve to... Apemon!"
"Floramon digivolve to... Kiwimon!"
"Furrimon digivolve to... Pinemon!"
"Drakemon digivolve to... Airdramon!"
"Dinomon digivolve to... Tyrannomon!"
"Tentomon digivolve to...Kabuterimon!"
"Gatomon armor digivolve to... Nefertimon, the Angel of Light!"
"Veemon armor digivolve to... Flamedramon, the Fire of Courage!"
The horde of digimon raced after the three evil digimon before them. Apemon, Nefertimon, and Flamedramon charged after Vampiromon who lead them away. Pinemon, Kiwimon, and Airdramon attacked Asuramon. Tyrannomon and Kabuterimon slammed into Metal Tyrannomon. While, She Leomon looked on disapprovingly.
The fights were a jumbling of fist, wings, and fire.
--------
"Dragon Gun" Airdramon screamed.
The flying dragon shoot spherical blast that cascaded down toward Asuramon.
Asuramon picked up a large clod of dirt, brought up by Metal Tyrannomon, and hurled it skyward. The energy blast hit it and sent debris everywhere. Pinemon and Kiwimon had to shield themselves from the dirt. In this moment of blindness, Asuramon capitalized. Asuramon drove himself into the belly of Pinemon, smacking him far back.
"Hi Jump Kick!"
Kiwimon meant to drive her leg into Asuramon's face, but was stopped short when Asuramon grabbed Kiwimon's clawed foot. He spun her around and flung her towards the heavens.
He pointed all four of his arms toward Kiwimon and yelled, "The Fist of Asura!"
From his arms burst forth raging pillars of fire, which would have incinerated Kiwimon, if it weren't on the last second, Airdramon raced by and pulled Kiwimon from the sky. Placing her on the ground, Airdramon raced head first at Asuramon.
--------
"Slamming Attack!"
Airdramon's attack came up short, as Asuramon caught her by the head and held her firm.
Pinemon came hobbling up to Kiwimon, "Do you think it's time for some of that team work?"
Kiwimon nodded, "Yeah, let's do it."
Pinemon picked Kiwimon up in one hand, "Mega Kiwi Dart!" he yelled hurling the aerodynamic, little bird strait at Asuramon's back.
Asuramon had just thrown Airdramon to the side, as Kiwimon approached him.
"Multiple Faces!" he yelled.
Asuramon split into two bodies, and Kiwimon went sailing between them. Then, they came back together.
"You'll have to do better then that!" Asuramon yelled.
-------
Kabuterimon and Tyrannomon charged into the massive bulk of Metal Tyrannomon. Each faction tried to force the other down. Eventually, Metal Tyrannomon won out, casting the two away.
Kabuterimon leaped into the air, "Electro Shocker!"
Kabuterimon sent a ball of lightning down toward Metal Tyrannomon. Metal Tyrannomon grabbed up the downed Tyrannomon and used him as a shield. The lightning splashed against Tyrannomon in a scream of pain. Tyrannomon lifted the cannon on his right arm.
"Fire Blast 2.0!" he yelled, firing a spray of super hot flame, blasting Kabuterimon away.
Tyrannomon, enraged, struggled and freed himself. He turned and stared at Metal Tyrannomon with cold eyes.
"Fire Blast!" he yelled as he let loose an enormous breath of fire.
"Nuclear Laser!" Metal Tyrannomon blasted a green ray from it's steely maw.
The Nuclear Laser disintegrated the Fire Blast and hit Tyrannomon head on and blasted him away. Leaving Metal Tyrannomon cackling in victory.
------
"Godlike Knuckle!" Vampiromon yelled
Vampiromon hammered Flamedramon in the face, casting him back like a missile. Flamedramon soared back and collided with Apemon sending them both to the dirt.
"Rosetta Stone!" Nefertimon screamed.
She fired a slab of granite at Vampiromon.
"Ebony Cast!" Vampiromon yelled
The cross of black power hit the slab and blew it to pieces. Vampiromon flew up into the air with unseen wings at Nefertimon. Nefertimon growled as she clawed at Vampiromon recklessly. Vampiromon dodged the flailing talons and kneed Nefertimon in the face. Then he grabbed her around the neck.
Apemon jumping as high as he could, leaped onto Vampiromon's back, and bit him in the neck.
Vampiromon screamed, "HEY, that's my trademark! Ebony Cast!"
As the black energy lit Vampiromon up it spread to Apemon and Nefertimon. The two screamed agonizingly in pain. Vampiromon threw the limp Nefertimon toward the ground. He then pulled the monkey off his back and bared his fist.
"Godlike Knuckle!" Vampiromon yelled as he slammed his massive knuckle into Apemon's face. Apemon went sailing and splashed into the pond.
"Looks like I got the monkey off my back."
"Nefertimon, NOOOOOO!" Flamedramon yelled as he caught the defeated sphinx out of the air right before she hit the ground. Then he turned to Vampiromon "YOU'LL PAY! FIRE ROCKETS!!!!!!!"
From his armored hands, Flamedramon released barrage after barrage of fireballs up at the dirty vampire. He persisted with the fiery salvo until all that could be seen of Vampiromon's position was monstrous billows of black smoke, and he still didn't stop. Finally, Flamedramon lowered his arms to watch the destruction he had wrought.
From the giant puff of smoke, a voice yelled, "Ebony Cast!"
A black cross burst from the smoke and arced down at Flamedramon. It hit him strait on a flattened him in the dirt. And Vampiromon just laughed.
"Chakra Kick!" someone yelled from behind him.
Vampiromon turned just fast enough to see a silvery flash and a clawed foot in his face. The blow knocked him sailing. He barreled through the sky and crashed into the grass.
"WHAT THE... She Leomon?" Vampiromon screamed, "Why you little turncoat. I guess you showed up after all."
She Leomon returned to the ground and ignored him, "Digidestined! You Ulitmates have to digivolve, and you champions have to go, now!"
Julian yelled across the field to her, "Your right they've got to digivolve, but we can't leave right now!"
Izzy motioned toward Kari, "Remember, to digivolve to Ultimate, you've got to feel the crest within you."
"Right."
Nefertimon dedigivolved to Gatomon, and Flamedramon dedigivolved to Veemon.
"Kabuterimon digivolve to... Mega Kabuterimon!"
"Gatomon digivolve to... Angewomon!"
"Veemon Golden Armor digivolve to... Magnamon, the Golden Warrior!"
The three ultimates separated and dug into their targets. Mega Kabuterimon collided with Metal Tyrannomon. Angewomon fluttered around Vampiromon. Magnamon blasted toward Asuramon.
The Champions, however, weren't looking so good.
Airdramon and Kiwimon were on the ground battered and bruised, and Pinemon keeled over with sever burn wounds. Tyrannomon was scathed by flame, as well, struggling to get up. Apemon was struggling through murky water as he pulled himself out of the pond to the group of digidestined.
"This isn't going too well." he said.
"That's why he have to go, now." Farris yelled.
Julian looked at him, "What?"
"He's right, Julian. There's nothing more we can do here, we should hurry!" Gina called.
"I can't believe you guys. We can't abandon our friends in the time of their most need." Julian reprimanded, "Lani you agree with me."
"No."
"No?!"
Lani looked down sadly, "I want to help fight so bad, but Tyrannomon can't do anything unless he gets stronger."
Julian couldn't believe his ears, "Catherine?"
She looked at him with sadness in her eyes, "Julian there's nothing more we can do."
Julian got a fierce look on his face, "Then do whatever you want, but I'm not gonna give up, and neither is Apemon!"
"Right!" Apemon yelled.
"Let's go." Julian called coldly.
With tears in her eyes Catherine watched Julian and Apemon ran toward the battle.
-------
Mega Kabuterimon crashed into Metal Tyrannomon. The two locked hands and tried to push the other away. They both growled angrily in their shoving match. Then, Mega Kabuterimon kicked in his rocket booster, and forced Metal Tyrannomon over. Mega Kabuterimon continued to push the android and dragged his metal carcass across the ground.
Mega Kabuterimon jumped up into the air, "Electro Shocker!"
He fired the really big ball of energy that smashed against it's steel frame.
"Nuclear Laser!" Metal Tyrannomon screeched.
It blasted a green laser out that knocked Mega Kabuterimon back and into the ground.
The two equal adversaries struggled to get two their feet first. The giant beetle made it first.
"Horn Buster!"
Mega Kabuterimon smashed his horn into the dense head of Metal Tyrannomon. The steel dinosaur groaned as it collapsed into a heap.
--------
"Celestial Arrow!" Angewomon yelled.
She fired a lance of pure white energy from the bow attached to her arm. It arced out toward Vampiromon who was darting about a few feet above the ground. The arrow missed and split a large tree in two.
Vampiromon thrust up at Angewomon with his fist. Angewomon dodged it and made a swift kick to the back of the head.
Vampiromon fell back angered, holding the back of his head.
"Ebony Cast!" he yelled.
The black cross flashed out at Angewomon. Angewomon place one arm in front, it's hand up, and the other hand behind that, aimed strait for the dark energy.
"Heaven's Charm!" Angewomon yelled.
A shining pink screen of energy appeared in front of Angewomon's hands. The black blast crashed into it and dissipated.
"Mega Bone Stick!"
From out of no where, Apemon jumped up behind Vampiromon, and smashed him in the back with his bone. Vampiromon lurched forward.
"Celestial Arrow!" Angewomon screamed letting loose a radiant blast.
The arrow splashed across Vampiromon's chest. He screamed in agony and fell to the ground.
Angewomon came down form the sky to where Apemon was standing.
"Nice job, Apemon." she said.
Apemon looked at her grimly, "Just because I'm not an Ultimate, doesn't mean I'm useless."
Angewomon smiled, "Indeed. Well said."
-------
"Multiple Faces" Asuramon yelled.
Asuramon split into four different Asuramons. They circled and approached Magnamon cautiously. Magnamon barred his knuckles.
"Magna Fist!" Magnamon yelled.
He slammed a golden fist into the face of one of the Asuramons, as it crumpled away. An Asuramon punched Magnamon in the back, while another kicked him in the stomach. Magnamon answered with a leg strait back into the first Asuramon's gut.
"Magna Fist!" he yelled, smashing the second Asuramon in the chest.
The downed Asuramons seemed to change to a gas and were then absorbed by the last conscience Asuramon.
"The Fist of Asuramon!" he yelled.
Asuramon fired four continuous pillars of fire towards Magnamon. They hit, but Magnamon blocked, however the total force of the blast sent Magnamon reeling. Suddenly, Magnamon was pulled from the blaze by feral claws. She Leomon pulled Magnamon to safety.
She stared Asuramon down, "Fist of the Beast Queen!"
From her fist she released an energy replica of her face at Asuramon. To protect himself he had to cover his face with his arms.
Magnamon regained his composure, "Magna Blast!"
Magnamon pulled his hands to the side, and charged a purple ball of energy, then thrusted a brilliant purple ray from the ball. The beam cut through with the smell of ozone and smashed Asuramon a ways back with a groan.
She Leomon ran to Asuramon's limp body, "Enough of this. We're getting no where fighting her minions." She wrapped a taloned paw around Asuramon's neck. "Who are you working for?"
"Would you really like to know who I am?" the eerie girl's voice returned. It was coming from the bowls of the woods, no longer an anomalous voice, but it was getting closer.
All parties stopped battling to watch the forest for a chance to see who was coming. Finally, it stepped out from behind a tree.
It was a sloe-eyed white girl, about her mid teens, developing into a young woman. She had impressively cute features, an arrogantly sweet smile, with pale green eyes that pierced their souls. She had long, almost down to the small of her back, pale blonde hair, nearly white. She wore a long black trench coat with massive silver buckles. She had an air of confidence and command about her that could make one weak.
"First let me tell you a story." She said as she walked forward, "Many years ago, before most of you were born. A great man came to this place, right around here. He had a dream of success in this world. Their was a young girl once, fresh out of collage, she was romanced by the strong passion and was soon in bed with him. She soon gave birth to his child. He returned many times to see his lover, but he never meet with his child because he didn't want to delude his offspring with his destiny, telling her of the fortune he had planned. Then, only a few years ago, he made good on his destiny, he invaded the real world."
All the digidestined gasped, they knew exactly who that was, "Myotismon!"
The girl chuckled a bit, "Yes. But, his destiny never came to fruition. The digidestined killed him. And all this went by without the child knowing the truth. Then a few months ago, that child was approached by a gangly fellow. He told her that he knew her father. Then he told her everything, about her, about her father, about her origin, all the mystifying information that would drive most mad. The child, however, embraced it. The fellow revealed himself as her uncle, and together they delved into her inner power, a gift from the dead Myotismon."
Everyone was stupefied by this mesmerizing speech. The girl watched them carefully as she spoke.
"The end result, was a child stronger then any other human or digimon ever. This child had the power to complete her father's destiny that he had left to her. To rule both the Real and Digital worlds... and dispose of the digidestined!"
All eyes were glued on her.
"As you may have discovered by now, the father was Myotismon, the women was my mother, the uncle was my good Vampiromon, and the child...," she hung on the last part, "... the child was... me! So... let me introduce myself. My given name... is Alicia Okinora, but my new name is... Lady Myotismon!"
All the digidestined and digimon, except the evil ones, gasped and yelled in unison, "LADY MYOTISMON?!?!?!?!"
"That's right!" she yelled, "I'm half human, half digimon, the daughter of Myotismon, the niece of Vampiromon, and your new master of the world! I'm the one who captured your friends, but don't worry there just fine."
She removed her large trench coat and cast it to the side. In the split second that her coat blocked the view of her, she transformed. She became taller and her shin was a light gray. Over her face was the white mask of Myotismon, and from out of her coy smile were two vampire fangs. Her pale hair was tossed about and flying up the back of her head. She wore a tight gown, blood red in color, it had a plunging neckline showing much of her shoulders, it's sleeves were cut in strange shapes around her arm, it hugged her slim sides, then top side of each leg was cut out an oval, showing a seductive section of flesh, the bottom flared out to flowing velvet. She wore extremely high black heels. On her hands were scarlet gloves with severely sharp tips. Around her waist was a gray ribbon that flowed behind her, even with no wind.
She chuckled, "You see this is my true form. Only recently found with the help of my dear sweet uncle, Vampiromon. Now that you know who I am, are you ready to fight!"
"Hell yeah, we're ready to fight!" Julian yelled.
"No, we're not." She Leomon said to Julian, "You've got to go to the digital world!"
"Ahh, not that again. We can't leave right now! Get her, Apemon."
Apemon had a horrified look on her face, "She's a Mega!"
Julian gasped, "A Mega level digimon."
"That's right," Lady Myotismon called, "I'm even stronger then my father."
"You see the necessity, NOW?!" She Leomon yelled.
Before Julian could say anything, Metal Tyrannomon leaped onto Mega Kabuterimon's back and bit his shoulder. Mega Kabuterimon screamed. Metal Tyrannomon lifted it arm to Mega Kabuterimon head.
"Fire Blast 2.0!"
The spray of fire from the arm gun was dealt to the gigantic bug.
"Godlike Knuckle!"
Vampiromon snuck up on Angewomon and punched her in the stomach. Angewomon keeled over onto her knees. Vampiromon then kneed her in the face, sending her onto her back.
Asuramon side kicked Magnamon in the face. Magnamon stumbled back.
"Magna Blast!"
Magnamon shot the purple beam off sloppily, and Asuramon dodged it with ease.
"The Fist of Asura!" Asuramon yelled.
He shot the continuous blast of fire at Magnamon. Magnamon was thrown to the ground and burnt fiercely, as he screamed angrily.
"You have to go. The only hope for us Ultimates is to run." She Leomon yelled back as she ran head long toward Lady Myotismon. "Chakra Kick!"
Lifting one leg up she slide in a group of shifting silver shadows. At an alarming speed her body and foot raced toward Lady Myotismon. Lady Myotismon simply held her hand up.
"Ghoul Reach" she called mockingly.
Her hand extended drastically, catching She Leomon in the chest pushing her all the way back to a tree, crushing her against it."
Julian stared angrily at the battle.
"Julian!" Farris yelled, he had Furrimon beside him. All the Champions had dedigivolved into rookies again, accept for Apemon. "We have to go now, or we all get defeated, and there'll be no hope for anyone!"
"He's right!" Izzy yelled, "You have to go, so WE can run for it!"
Julian thought about it, he knew Farris and Izzy was right. He had to abandon this fight.
"Ok, you guys go ahead, but I got to do sumthin' first." he said running toward the battle, "Apemon, I need to speak with She Leomon!"
Apemon ran after him, "I understand. Let's go!"
The others moved toward the portal where Hackmon waited impatiently.
Lani and Dinomon made it there first, "How do we go through?"
"Just step into the tear! Come on, hurry up!" Hackmon yelled irritably.
Lani stepped over the lip of the tear and right through to whatever was on the other side. One by one the crew and digimon stepped through and disappeared.
Hackmon waited, watching Julian run toward She Leomon.
Apemon reached She Leomon first. She Leomon was still in the grasp of Lady Myotismon.
"Mega Bone Stick!" Apemon yelled.
Apemon brought his bone on top of the wrist of Lady Myotismon's large hand. Lady Myotismon's grip lessened and She Leomon was able top break free.
Julian ran up, "She Leomon you be ok, I couldn't take it if my leaving got someone hurt."
She Leomon smiled, "Don't worry. I'm not so easily hurt. NOW GO!"
Julian and Apemon ran as fast as they could towards the portal.
"I don't think so!" Lady Myotismon yelled, "Ghoul Reach!"
A clawed hand soared out at the pair.
"Fist of the Beast Queen!"
A blasted of energy hit the hand sending it to the ground.
She Leomon turned to Julian and Apemon and yelled at the top of her lungs, "KEEP GOING!"
Julian and Apemon ran past Asuramon in a head lock from Magnamon. Magnamon called to them as they passed, "Good luck, you guys!"
"You too!" Julian yelled back.
Lady Myotismon smacked She Leomon to the side with the long arm and then retracted it, "There's no escape! Crimson Outbreak!"
From her hand, thousands of small red globes fired at Apemon and Julian. Around them, many explosions sprayed them with dirt and grass. The blasts got closer and closer as they neared the portal.
Hackmon leaped into the portal as the blasts started to reach the rift.
Finally, a blast exploded too close and sent the two barreling forward. Julian could feel his feet leave the ground as he was sent forward. He glimpsed Apemon falling as well. In front of them the white tear in the fabric of reality gleamed brightly, directly in front of them. At last, everything turned white as they entered the surrealist inerts of the portal.
Chapter 4 - Last Resort
A little ways away, a giant tree was ablaze in monstrous flames. There was no particular assailant in sight, but a dark figure appeared propped up against the back of the tree. It swung around the giant candle, and the lanky fellow stared out at the group with white eyes.

Julian cocked his head, "No ya didn't!"
"WELL,YOU SHOULD OF KNOWN I'LD BE BACK, YOU LITTLE PUNKS!" Vampiromon yelled.
Davis laughed out loud, "You're a moron!"
"SHUT UP!" Vampiromon yelled back.
"Really, you digidestined should have more respect for a knight in her unholy court." the flame seemed to call.
The burning branches shook as something leaped out of the pyre. It was a burning, black figure that made a flip and landed only a few feet from Vampiromon.

There was an intense rumbling in the ground. The land beneath the burning tree broke and cracked as something big dug itself through the earth. Soon a silvery carapace could seen cracking the roots of the tree as it fell over. A robotic dinosaur pulled itself from the sink hole it had just created, and roared ominously.

Nefertimon dedigivolved to Gatomon, and Flamedramon dedigivolved to Veemon.
"Kabuterimon digivolve to... Mega Kabuterimon!"
"Gatomon digivolve to... Angewomon!"
"Veemon Golden Armor digivolve to... Magnamon, the Golden Warrior!"
The three ultimates separated and dug into their targets. Mega Kabuterimon collided with Metal Tyrannomon. Angewomon fluttered around Vampiromon. Magnamon blasted toward Asuramon.
The Champions, however, weren't looking so good.
Airdramon and Kiwimon were on the ground battered and bruised, and Pinemon keeled over with sever burn wounds. Tyrannomon was scathed by flame, as well, struggling to get up. Apemon was struggling through murky water as he pulled himself out of the pond to the group of digidestined.
"This isn't going too well." he said.
"That's why he have to go, now." Farris yelled.
Julian looked at him, "What?"
"He's right, Julian. There's nothing more we can do here, we should hurry!" Gina called.
"I can't believe you guys. We can't abandon our friends in the time of their most need." Julian reprimanded, "Lani you agree with me."
"No."
"No?!"
Lani looked down sadly, "I want to help fight so bad, but Tyrannomon can't do anything unless he gets stronger."
Julian couldn't believe his ears, "Catherine?"
She looked at him with sadness in her eyes, "Julian there's nothing more we can do."
Julian got a fierce look on his face, "Then do whatever you want, but I'm not gonna give up, and neither is Apemon!"
"Right!" Apemon yelled.
"Let's go." Julian called coldly.
With tears in her eyes Catherine watched Julian and Apemon ran toward the battle.
-------
Mega Kabuterimon crashed into Metal Tyrannomon. The two locked hands and tried to push the other away. They both growled angrily in their shoving match. Then, Mega Kabuterimon kicked in his rocket booster, and forced Metal Tyrannomon over. Mega Kabuterimon continued to push the android and dragged his metal carcass across the ground.
Mega Kabuterimon jumped up into the air, "Electro Shocker!"
He fired the really big ball of energy that smashed against it's steel frame.
"Nuclear Laser!" Metal Tyrannomon screeched.
It blasted a green laser out that knocked Mega Kabuterimon back and into the ground.
The two equal adversaries struggled to get two their feet first. The giant beetle made it first.
"Horn Buster!"
Mega Kabuterimon smashed his horn into the dense head of Metal Tyrannomon. The steel dinosaur groaned as it collapsed into a heap.
--------
"Celestial Arrow!" Angewomon yelled.
She fired a lance of pure white energy from the bow attached to her arm. It arced out toward Vampiromon who was darting about a few feet above the ground. The arrow missed and split a large tree in two.
Vampiromon thrust up at Angewomon with his fist. Angewomon dodged it and made a swift kick to the back of the head.
Vampiromon fell back angered, holding the back of his head.
"Ebony Cast!" he yelled.
The black cross flashed out at Angewomon. Angewomon place one arm in front, it's hand up, and the other hand behind that, aimed strait for the dark energy.
"Heaven's Charm!" Angewomon yelled.
A shining pink screen of energy appeared in front of Angewomon's hands. The black blast crashed into it and dissipated.
"Mega Bone Stick!"
From out of no where, Apemon jumped up behind Vampiromon, and smashed him in the back with his bone. Vampiromon lurched forward.
"Celestial Arrow!" Angewomon screamed letting loose a radiant blast.
The arrow splashed across Vampiromon's chest. He screamed in agony and fell to the ground.
Angewomon came down form the sky to where Apemon was standing.
"Nice job, Apemon." she said.
Apemon looked at her grimly, "Just because I'm not an Ultimate, doesn't mean I'm useless."
Angewomon smiled, "Indeed. Well said."
-------
"Multiple Faces" Asuramon yelled.
Asuramon split into four different Asuramons. They circled and approached Magnamon cautiously. Magnamon barred his knuckles.
"Magna Fist!" Magnamon yelled.
He slammed a golden fist into the face of one of the Asuramons, as it crumpled away. An Asuramon punched Magnamon in the back, while another kicked him in the stomach. Magnamon answered with a leg strait back into the first Asuramon's gut.
"Magna Fist!" he yelled, smashing the second Asuramon in the chest.
The downed Asuramons seemed to change to a gas and were then absorbed by the last conscience Asuramon.
"The Fist of Asuramon!" he yelled.
Asuramon fired four continuous pillars of fire towards Magnamon. They hit, but Magnamon blocked, however the total force of the blast sent Magnamon reeling. Suddenly, Magnamon was pulled from the blaze by feral claws. She Leomon pulled Magnamon to safety.
She stared Asuramon down, "Fist of the Beast Queen!"
From her fist she released an energy replica of her face at Asuramon. To protect himself he had to cover his face with his arms.
Magnamon regained his composure, "Magna Blast!"
Magnamon pulled his hands to the side, and charged a purple ball of energy, then thrusted a brilliant purple ray from the ball. The beam cut through with the smell of ozone and smashed Asuramon a ways back with a groan.
She Leomon ran to Asuramon's limp body, "Enough of this. We're getting no where fighting her minions." She wrapped a taloned paw around Asuramon's neck. "Who are you working for?"
"Would you really like to know who I am?" the eerie girl's voice returned. It was coming from the bowls of the woods, no longer an anomalous voice, but it was getting closer.
All parties stopped battling to watch the forest for a chance to see who was coming. Finally, it stepped out from behind a tree.
It was a sloe-eyed white girl, about her mid teens, developing into a young woman. She had impressively cute features, an arrogantly sweet smile, with pale green eyes that pierced their souls. She had long, almost down to the small of her back, pale blonde hair, nearly white. She wore a long black trench coat with massive silver buckles. She had an air of confidence and command about her that could make one weak.
"First let me tell you a story." She said as she walked forward, "Many years ago, before most of you were born. A great man came to this place, right around here. He had a dream of success in this world. Their was a young girl once, fresh out of collage, she was romanced by the strong passion and was soon in bed with him. She soon gave birth to his child. He returned many times to see his lover, but he never meet with his child because he didn't want to delude his offspring with his destiny, telling her of the fortune he had planned. Then, only a few years ago, he made good on his destiny, he invaded the real world."
All the digidestined gasped, they knew exactly who that was, "Myotismon!"
The girl chuckled a bit, "Yes. But, his destiny never came to fruition. The digidestined killed him. And all this went by without the child knowing the truth. Then a few months ago, that child was approached by a gangly fellow. He told her that he knew her father. Then he told her everything, about her, about her father, about her origin, all the mystifying information that would drive most mad. The child, however, embraced it. The fellow revealed himself as her uncle, and together they delved into her inner power, a gift from the dead Myotismon."
Everyone was stupefied by this mesmerizing speech. The girl watched them carefully as she spoke.
"The end result, was a child stronger then any other human or digimon ever. This child had the power to complete her father's destiny that he had left to her. To rule both the Real and Digital worlds... and dispose of the digidestined!"
All eyes were glued on her.
"As you may have discovered by now, the father was Myotismon, the women was my mother, the uncle was my good Vampiromon, and the child...," she hung on the last part, "... the child was... me! So... let me introduce myself. My given name... is Alicia Okinora, but my new name is... Lady Myotismon!"
All the digidestined and digimon, except the evil ones, gasped and yelled in unison, "LADY MYOTISMON?!?!?!?!"
"That's right!" she yelled, "I'm half human, half digimon, the daughter of Myotismon, the niece of Vampiromon, and your new master of the world! I'm the one who captured your friends, but don't worry there just fine."
She removed her large trench coat and cast it to the side. In the split second that her coat blocked the view of her, she transformed. She became taller and her shin was a light gray. Over her face was the white mask of Myotismon, and from out of her coy smile were two vampire fangs. Her pale hair was tossed about and flying up the back of her head. She wore a tight gown, blood red in color, it had a plunging neckline showing much of her shoulders, it's sleeves were cut in strange shapes around her arm, it hugged her slim sides, then top side of each leg was cut out an oval, showing a seductive section of flesh, the bottom flared out to flowing velvet. She wore extremely high black heels. On her hands were scarlet gloves with severely sharp tips. Around her waist was a gray ribbon that flowed behind her, even with no wind.
She chuckled, "You see this is my true form. Only recently found with the help of my dear sweet uncle, Vampiromon. Now that you know who I am, are you ready to fight!"
"Hell yeah, we're ready to fight!" Julian yelled.
"No, we're not." She Leomon said to Julian, "You've got to go to the digital world!"
"Ahh, not that again. We can't leave right now! Get her, Apemon."
Apemon had a horrified look on her face, "She's a Mega!"
Julian gasped, "A Mega level digimon."
"That's right," Lady Myotismon called, "I'm even stronger then my father."
"You see the necessity, NOW?!" She Leomon yelled.
Before Julian could say anything, Metal Tyrannomon leaped onto Mega Kabuterimon's back and bit his shoulder. Mega Kabuterimon screamed. Metal Tyrannomon lifted it arm to Mega Kabuterimon head.
"Fire Blast 2.0!"
The spray of fire from the arm gun was dealt to the gigantic bug.
"Godlike Knuckle!"
Vampiromon snuck up on Angewomon and punched her in the stomach. Angewomon keeled over onto her knees. Vampiromon then kneed her in the face, sending her onto her back.
Asuramon side kicked Magnamon in the face. Magnamon stumbled back.
"Magna Blast!"
Magnamon shot the purple beam off sloppily, and Asuramon dodged it with ease.
"The Fist of Asura!" Asuramon yelled.
He shot the continuous blast of fire at Magnamon. Magnamon was thrown to the ground and burnt fiercely, as he screamed angrily.
"You have to go. The only hope for us Ultimates is to run." She Leomon yelled back as she ran head long toward Lady Myotismon. "Chakra Kick!"
Lifting one leg up she slide in a group of shifting silver shadows. At an alarming speed her body and foot raced toward Lady Myotismon. Lady Myotismon simply held her hand up.
"Ghoul Reach" she called mockingly.
Her hand extended drastically, catching She Leomon in the chest pushing her all the way back to a tree, crushing her against it."
Julian stared angrily at the battle.
"Julian!" Farris yelled, he had Furrimon beside him. All the Champions had dedigivolved into rookies again, accept for Apemon. "We have to go now, or we all get defeated, and there'll be no hope for anyone!"
"He's right!" Izzy yelled, "You have to go, so WE can run for it!"
Julian thought about it, he knew Farris and Izzy was right. He had to abandon this fight.
"Ok, you guys go ahead, but I got to do sumthin' first." he said running toward the battle, "Apemon, I need to speak with She Leomon!"
Apemon ran after him, "I understand. Let's go!"
The others moved toward the portal where Hackmon waited impatiently.
Lani and Dinomon made it there first, "How do we go through?"
"Just step into the tear! Come on, hurry up!" Hackmon yelled irritably.
Lani stepped over the lip of the tear and right through to whatever was on the other side. One by one the crew and digimon stepped through and disappeared.
Hackmon waited, watching Julian run toward She Leomon.
Apemon reached She Leomon first. She Leomon was still in the grasp of Lady Myotismon.
"Mega Bone Stick!" Apemon yelled.
Apemon brought his bone on top of the wrist of Lady Myotismon's large hand. Lady Myotismon's grip lessened and She Leomon was able top break free.
Julian ran up, "She Leomon you be ok, I couldn't take it if my leaving got someone hurt."
She Leomon smiled, "Don't worry. I'm not so easily hurt. NOW GO!"
Julian and Apemon ran as fast as they could towards the portal.
"I don't think so!" Lady Myotismon yelled, "Ghoul Reach!"
A clawed hand soared out at the pair.
"Fist of the Beast Queen!"
A blasted of energy hit the hand sending it to the ground.
She Leomon turned to Julian and Apemon and yelled at the top of her lungs, "KEEP GOING!"
Julian and Apemon ran past Asuramon in a head lock from Magnamon. Magnamon called to them as they passed, "Good luck, you guys!"
"You too!" Julian yelled back.
Lady Myotismon smacked She Leomon to the side with the long arm and then retracted it, "There's no escape! Crimson Outbreak!"
From her hand, thousands of small red globes fired at Apemon and Julian. Around them, many explosions sprayed them with dirt and grass. The blasts got closer and closer as they neared the portal.
Hackmon leaped into the portal as the blasts started to reach the rift.
Finally, a blast exploded too close and sent the two barreling forward. Julian could feel his feet leave the ground as he was sent forward. He glimpsed Apemon falling as well. In front of them the white tear in the fabric of reality gleamed brightly, directly in front of them. At last, everything turned white as they entered the surrealist inerts of the portal.
