The Digi-Slayer

Chapter 36

"Pitiful" Spat the Digi-Slayer as he held Omnimon by the neck "Just like all you pathetic creatures, your efforts to protect others has led to your downfall".

Omnimon was in horrible shape; all the armor on his torso was either hacked off or shredded to thin slivers of protection. The dragon's claws had also ripped the helmet, allowing the sharp nails to claw mercilessly at the face; one eye was forced shut as a long gash crossed it.

"And what say you digimon?" Growled the massive dragon, tightening his grip on the bloody fighter "What does the so-called 'Ultimate Champion' have to say?"

"Go to hell, you monster" Whispered Omnimon, his voice strained from the lack of oxygen.

The dragon did not respond, with a snorted 'hmph', he threw the large digimon aside and continued down the tunnel. As the dragon made his way down the path, he found the tunnel becoming smaller and smaller as he moved.

"Hmm" The Digi-Slayer mused "I could just destroy the tunnel, but a cave in might impede my path more, and I could also destroy what these blasted humans were after, and if I destroy them and take whatever they're after, my power will become truly ultimate"

With the temptation of power too strong for the dragon to resist, the mighty figure became engulfed in black flames. As the flames died to about the size of a small house, a figure emerged. This new figure looked exactly like the monster Davis had transformed into, right down to black, leathery wings that sprouted from the monster's back. Wrapping his wings around him like a cloak, the Digi-Slayer continued down the rocky path. As the monster walked, suddenly the walls began to shake, until the rocks that formed the roof began to loosen and fall above the Digi-Slayer. Narrowing his eyes at the rocks, the Digi-Slayer gripped his katana beneath his wings and with a flash of ebony, the rock split cleanly in two, leaving the Digi-Slayer unharmed. The rocks continued to fall and rock after rock was sliced as the monster in black armor danced around them, his sword held almost lazily. Feeling more tremors coming, the Digi-Slayer looked back at the trail and with his demonic sight, saw Omnimon slamming his fist to the ground, causing shockwaves.

"Idiot" Said the dark warrior as he formed a javelin out of dark energy and hurled it at the digimon. The weapon drove itself into the giant digimon's hand, "Your efforts are in vain, you cannot stop me" Said the Digi-Slayer over the grunt of pain Omnimon produced.

Behind Omnimon, Tai, Matt and Gennai stood, helpless to do anything but watch. As they tried to pull the large spear out of their digimon's hand, the snap of fingers were heard and before they knew it, rocks began to shake and fall above the massive digimon.

The Digi-Slayer getting closer, he could feel it. Feeling a slightly warm sensation tickle his pale face, the Digi-Slayer began walking slightly faster. He continued his walk until he came to a cave-in, blacking his path, but what was more interesting was the fact that there were children here.

"Boo" The Digi-Slayer said with a smirk on his face, and as the children saw him, his smirk became a smile as he watched them press against the wall with absolute terror. "Well well well" He smiled "Looks like some nosey little brats where trying to beat me to the punch".

"Y…you will not get past us" Stuttered Cody as he forced his shaking body into a defensive position.

The Digi-Slayer merely clucked his tongue and with a flick of the wrist, sent the boy into the wall with a sickening 'thud'.

"As much as I'd like to brutally kill you all right now, I've got better things to do, but when I come back, your heads shall be my trophies".

With a snap of his fingers, the rocks blocking the Digi-Slayer's path where blown forward into the massive room. And as the dark fighter emerged from the dust, his sights focused on the glowing pool in the center.

"And to the victor goes inconceivable power" Laughed the dark monster as he unfurled his wings, flew right above the pool, and dived like a swallow down to the glowing energy.

It seemed like slow motion to the children, the Digi-Slayer with an insane smile on his face plummeted down, but before even his nose touched the pool of energy, a fist with speed that would rival lightning shot out of the pool and collided with the stunned face of the dark fighter. As the Digi-Slayer shot up, he stabilized himself with powerful flaps of his leathery wings, but before he even had the chance to try and dive again, a brilliantly white figure shot out of the pool and tackled the flying monster into the ceiling many meters above them.

"No" Gasped the dark knight as this new opponent drove him tightly into the rocky ceiling, "How can such a powerful digimon exist?"

"Not a digimon, pal" Said the figure as the light faded, showing the Digi-Slayer almost a reflection of his own face, except this new warrior's face had more color in it and seemed to slightly glow with goodness.

"No" Whispered the dark fighter, the realization of his new competition sent the already maddened monster further into the depths of insanity "No, get away from me, YOU HEAR ME GET AWAY!"

Drawing dark energy around himself, the Digi-Slayer set off a massive explosion around the small space he and this new fighter were in. The new fighter was blown back by the almost suicidal attack, the fire bubbled around the area, the body punched a hole in the bubble of flames before it closed back up as more flames spewed forth. The children watched as this white blur fell with rapid speed, and as it neared the rocky floor, the blur arched across the space above the floor and shot back up until it just stopped in mid-air. Now that the warrior was still, the children could see the new competitor in detail, and they were all stunned at what they saw. The design of the armor that adorned this large fighter was very similar to that of the Digi-Slayer, though this armor was smaller and smoother, the shoulder guards did not stick out with menacing spikes like the evil armor of the Digi-Slayer, but curved downwards, allowing more protection to the shoulder and allowing more movement, this could be said about all the parts, more designed for maximum mobility and defense. The color of the armor was even more amazing; it was a brilliant silvery/white color, reflecting the glowing white of the pool of energy, across the breastplate were three figures, two were of a white, female angel and the other of a purple devil lady, both joining hands as they above them, a blue dragon's head looked forward with a menacing fashion as it's wings went under the arm sockets of the breast plate and went to the back. It seemed as though the dragon's wings shot out of the plate of armor and came to life as a similar set of blue, leathery wings protruded out of the fighter's back and gave him the ability to hover. No helmet lay upon the warrior's shoulders, but a head full of spiky, maroon colored hair with silver tipped bangs gently wafted in the breeze produced by the wings. Though all these features amazed the children, the face was what caught them all by surprise.

"Davis" All the children said simultaneously.

Davis turned to face his comrades and gave them a gentle nod to show that they were right. Before any words could be exchanged to there reunited ally, the Digi-Slayer, shot down from the cloud of dying flames like a bird of prey and smacked Davis across the face with a diving punch. Davis fell at an amazing speed, but after a few acrobatics, landed lightly with his legs together and his arms crossed, the smile on his face gone, now replaced by a death glare.

"You're going to pay monster" Davis growled, as he lowered himself into a offensive stance, light started to collect around his hands, and as quick as it collected, the light vanished to reveal a double bladed sword, one blade silver with angelic symbols edged into it, the other a charcoal color with demonic runes adorning the blade.

Driven completely into insanity, the Digi-Slayer folded his wings and dove at Davis, his newly drawn sword glinting the white glow of the pool of energy on the dusky blade, and with blinding speed, the sound of metal clashing with metal could be heard. There they were, the two most powerful beings ever imagined, locking swords with each other.

"Why won't you just die?" Growled the Digi-Slayer, placing his free hand on his sword, hoping to push back the giant weapon it fought against.

"Because I still have to kick your ass" Davis responded, grunting as he too applied more pressure to his barbaric sword.

Yelling a feral cry, the Digi-Slayer broke the sword lock and flew upwards, and when he was a sufficient distance away, he launched a black fireball at his opponent. The blast came screaming at Davis, but was countered with an equally powerful ball of white flame in an awesome explosion. As the fire continued to live in mid-air, Davis heard another cry from the monster and watched, petrified, as he burst from the flames, his sword aimed directly for his head. Based purely on instinct, Davis managed to spin to the left, completely avoiding the almost certain death strike, and with his current momentum, swung his weapon with a massive amount of force into the monster's back.

Closing his eyes as the wind created by spinning stung his eyes, Davis could only hear as his sword hit it's mark, but strangely enough, the sound of weapon clashing with armor was not heard, nor was it felt. What was heard was the sound of sharpened steel digging into wood and what was felt was his blade trapped in incredibly strong oak. Davis opened his eyes to see the Digi-Slayer staring up at him with a smirk on his face, and as he looked down, he saw the white blade of his weapon buried deep within the scabbard of his enemy's weapon.

"How did you?" Davis began to question.

"By doing the same thing you did, except I had no time to use my katana so I had to use my sheath instead, a little odd but still effective" Answered a smiling Digi-Slayer.

Davis grunted as he tried to yank out his weapon, but even though the force at which he was pulling caused the cracks already in the sheath to crack further along the wooden protection, he still could not pull it loose. Davis tried to pull again, but was interrupted as the monster he was fighting slammed armored fingers into his unprotected temple, making him loose his grip on his weapon and crashed down onto the rocky floor below.

The Digi-Slayer chuckled evilly as he watched his opponent stumble back up, and with relative ease, transformed his sheath back into the dark energy in which it was made from, releasing Davis' massive sword, and placed a new, perfectly flawless sheath back into his belt.

"Still want a piece of me?" Mocked the Digi-Slayer

"Give me my sword back" Growled Davis as he tried to steady his vision on the Digi-Slayer.

"Then take it," The Digi-Slayer yelled in rage, spinning so quickly that air actually cut the rock around him, and as he released the massive weapon, Davis watched as his own weapon came hurtling towards him, ready to end his existence.

Knowing that he couldn't move his body well after that assault on his head, Davis tried to move anyway, but lost his footing and fell backwards, now the incoming projectile, which was aimed for his chest, would almost certainly pierce his cranium. As the weapon came closer with the sound of it slicing the air like a song of death, Davis closed his eyes, hoping that this would be a quick and painless death. Davis waited, and waited, and waited, until he got bored of waiting for his death and decided to open his eyes, and what he saw was his own sword, floating in mid-air millimeters away from his forehead.

Davis exhaled with relief, "Thanks girls" He said softly as he reached to grab his weapon "But I think it's time for a change in strategy" And with that, the weapon he held began to transform itself into a black bow with a quiver of white arrows resting on Davis' right forearm.

"No matter what weapon you have, I won't let you claim victo-" But before he could finish his taunt, an arrow zoomed past the Digi-Slayer's ear, sending a few strands of jet black hair flying in the slipstream of the ivory projectile.

"The next one won't miss" Davis said seriously as an arrow auto-loaded itself into the bow.

The Digi-Slayer prepared himself as he watched the arrow in the bow pointed itself at his chest, and as he watched the hand of his enemy loosen, he drew his katana up to slice the thin piece of energy in two, but as he looked on, another arrow was fired, this one aimed directly to the center of the dome shaped cavity, meters away from the Digi-Slayer. Think that the child had completely lost his mind, the Digi-Slayer concentrated his focus on the oncoming arrow, but before it hit, the arrow disappeared as the entire area became bathed in bright white light. Realizing what was done and having no time to move, the Digi-Slayer crossed his arms in an attempt to defend against the camouflaged arrow. With a dull 'Thud', an arrow had dug itself deep into the Digi-Slayer's left forearm and started to smoke as it burned the flesh once protected by the dark armor. With a low growl, the Digi-Slayer tore the glowing arrow out of his body and threw it strait back at his enemy. Davis merely sidestepped the projectile and with lightning speed, fired off three shots at the Digi-Slayer, but to his shock, the Digi-Slayer was flying strait at him, spinning to avoid the arrows and cleaved his sword down at Davis, who just barely managed to block with his bow, but due to the sheer force and sharpness of the blade, his bow was bested by the katana and split in two, allowing the blade to gash his breastplate and dig into his chest, and as if that wasn't painful enough, the Digi-Slayer, turned the sword around and sliced up the same path the sword had already carved, but this time, it sliced the shoulder and shot back out as scarlet blood flew up and rained down on the two fighters. Coughing up a small amount of blood, Davis managed to kick the unsuspecting fighter in chest with such strength that he was sent flying upwards.

"That's it, you're done" Said the Digi-Slayer almost sadly as he watched the sitting fighter bleed more and more and watched as the pool of blood around him slowly covered more ground "I've severed the arteries in the shoulder, you should die slowly and painfully as you bleed to death".

"Hehehe, don't count me out just yet" Laughed Davis as held his blood soaked hand on his shoulder to try and stifle the flow of blood, but as he removed the appendage, the Digi-Slayer gasped as he saw the wound start to smoke as the cut closed up. Davis got up and looked directly into his opponent's eyes "It is my destiny to destroy you, and no fucking force in heaven, hell or any planet will stop me from accomplishing my mission" The voice that escaped from Davis' mouth was not Davis' at all more like three voices, all low and rumbling with terribly rage and power.

The Digi-Slayer was watching with great fear as the eyes of his opponent started to flash white, as seconds passed the flashing became faster and more frequent until they shone with dazzling brilliance and started to reform, as did the rest of the fighter's body. Soon the entire body of the white fighter began to grow and reshape; arms began to grow longer as the hands on them shot out claws, legs became thicker and stronger as the feet became more elongated and sprouted long claws like the hands, the body hunched over as it became longer and wider, wings sprouting from the back and folding against the main body, a long tail grew out and started thrashing around, and finally the head changed shape as the neck grew out like a snake, and was soon accompanied by two other heads, with blue and red eyes compared to the original yellow ones. As the light faded, both digimon partner and digimon slayer looked up in amazement as they saw a massive blue dragon, it's scales moving constantly as the creature breathed in and out, but was the most amazing feature on the beast were the two extra necks and heads connected at the shoulders, one with silvery/white scales with blue eyes and one with deep purple scales and red eyes. Without hesitation, the dragon barreled towards the stunned Digi-Slayer and with amazing force, pushed the dwarfed figure into the side of the wall as it's claws dug deep into the earth.

"It's over" Said all three heads at once.

The Digi-Slayer laughed slightly "Not quite" He smiled, his own eyes flashing black.

With a burst of dark energy, the dragon form of the Digi-Slayer shot up from the side of the wall and pushed the other dragon back.

"And here is where it gets interesting" Growled the Digi-Slayer before he let out a bloody screech and barreled towards the other dragon.
