Holdover in Tokyo
888
Yamato or 'Matt' Ishida looked over everything he saw. He was trapped in one of the large wings of one the airport in Tokyo. He grimaced. He had been worried about getting to Florida by tomorrow; he and Gabumon would miss the launch and they'd be forced to push it back another month. He looked down at his partner, dressed unflatteringly in a hooded sweater that tried to cover up the fact that the digimon had a giant horn and long claws. Now, though, digimon were running amuck and authorities had locked everyone up in the airport. Those that had digimon of their own, mainly anyone thirty or younger that had normal contact with the Digital World were shunted off because the authorities feared the digimon would go crazy. It was this that Matt was grimacing over now.
"Matt," whispered Gabumon. "We need to get out of here…if there are digimon attacking the Human World then that means things have really gone badly in the Digital World…"
"I know but if I have you digivolve now, we'll only cause problems…" said Matt quietly not looking down at the digimon. "And I don't think the guards would let us out peacefully…"
Matt looked down at the bluish furred wolf creature. Gabumon was looking down. Matt's partner had never been the same since he lost his warp digivolving ability. Matt was still a little frustrated at the Harmonious Ones for not restoring it to him, if Diaboromon or Aramageddemon came back they'd need Omnimon or Imperialdramon Paladin Mode. He gave a short huff of annoyance and looked up.
"I think things are going to get interesting…" whispered Gabumon. Matt blinked quickly and realized what he saw. A horde of Bakemon was swarming outside the airport. The guards were no match. Matt clenched his fist.
"Come on, Gabumon," growled Matt softly between his teeth. The digimon nodded and quickly shedding his hooded jacket leapt forward.
"Gabumon digivolve to Garurumon!" the large lupine tiger slammed through the glass of the airport lobby and leapt out into the fray.
"You guys with digimon help us!" shouted Matt as he ran out with Garurumon.
"Howling Blaster!" a blue shot of energy cut a swath through the ghost digimon as the guards leapt back to escape the oncoming wolf.
"Lizard Dance!" shouted a voice from behind the wolf as a large humanoid reptile with large machetes sliced through the ghosts.
"Schwarz Strahl!" a black beam shot through another group of ghosts. As a huge Doberman Pinscher with large spine spikes launched forth into the fight.
Matt turned and looked to the sky. Against the near black clouds that filled the sky, the light pollution of the city below denied the camouflage of a battle between two opposite forces. There were flashes of light and darkness. Streaks of shadows rammed against pulses of light. The place where the battle was happening looked familiar and it took him a couple of seconds to realize that the fight was not too far from where his home was, and undoubtedly where Sora, Kuro and his daughter, Hoshi, were.
"Garurumon!" shouted Matt. The large wolf galloped forward and Matt leapt up on the back of the beast and gripped tightly at its scruff. He leaned in close, "We have to get back to my house; I have a feeling that there is a big fight going on up there!"
"I noticed it too!" growled Garurumon as he galloped from the airport. "I saw the blasts…I hope your family isn't there…."

"Raven Blades!" the twin swords of Karatenmon slammed against the pulsing blade of Excalibur as the digimon of darkness attempted to hold the mighty angel digimon's attention.
Karatenmon slipped back as Lord Holy Angemon pressed forward. The angel's white robes flailed in the back draft of energy being released from the crossing of swords.
Kuro was still up against the immobile vehicle that TK and the other destined humans had used to attempt to escape the angel's wrath. The others had slowly awoken but they were groggy.
"Here," Gennai was walking to each of the digimon. He gave them each a large red berry. "Eat this and you will find yourself feeling much better."
The digimon looked at each other and ate the berry they were given hungrily. A soft glow washed over them. Their bruises and cuts and bumps were gone. Their beaten bodies stood up straight.
Kuro's uncle, Takeru, stood. "Ok, let's help Karatenmon out!"
"Patamon digivolve to Angemon!" the little tan hamster glided forward and in a flash of light turned into the majestic angel digimon draped in a blue sash.
"Hawkmon digivolve to Aquilamon!" the little red bird digimon quickly turned into a larger horned eagle that swept forward on large crimson wings.
"Gatomon…" The cat leapt up and looked like she was going to collide with the eagle as a light spread between them.
"Aquilamon!" shouted the eagle as it flew into the light.
"DNA digivolve to Silphymon!" a combined voice between that of Gatomon and Aquilamon came out a boyish like digimon with a metal visor. He had Gatomon's ears, save instead of fur tufts the purple ridges were feathers now, and a very avian lower body that was covered in Aquilamon's crimson feathers. The upper torso was bright white and well built.
"Soul Banish!" shouted Lord Holy Angemon as he fired a burst of energy at Silphymon smashing the Ultimate backwards into Angemon. The two of them crashed into the sidewalk. Their limbs entangled with one another.
Karatenmon dove down with its swords drawn. "Raven Blades!"
Lord Holy Angemon swept to one side and brought his elbow down on the back of Karatenmon. The crow digimon growled in pain and spiraled to the ground. Lord Holy Angemon dropped down with one of his legs extended driving his foot into the tengu on the ground. The angel retracted his blade and then dropped down and proceeded to mercilessly punch the crow swordsman in the chest.
"Karatenmon!" Kuro clenched his fists angrily. He looked up at the angel. Kuro's eyes narrowed. "Get away from him you bastard!" A black miasma leaked from the crest and swirled around Kuro's chest and then swept down his body and around his legs. Red lining slipped around the blackness. Karatenmon shivered slightly.
A strange purple light swept around him. "Karatenmon slide digivolve to…Shadow WereGarurumon!" The wolf swung his fist up and knocked the angel off of him.
"K-Karatenmon…" Kuro's eyes looked up and down the black wolf man that stood in front of him.
"He's the manifestation of your dark anger…" said Gennai quietly.
"Shadow Claw!" Shadow WereGarurumon lashed out with his claws as he leapt at Lord Holy Angemon. The angel leapt back and took to the air. Shadow WereGarurumon swept his nightmarish claws at Lord Holy Angemon.
"The dog wants to play?" Lord Holy Angemon swept passed the demon wolf and dove down to the other digimon. They were still trying to untangle themselves from one another.
"Kaiser Nail!" roared the wolf. It opened its hand and unleashed a blast of black energy that launched itself at Lord Holy Angemon. The angel smirked and then leapt into the air to let the companion digimon take the brunt of the attack. The two of them groaned in pain as they were forcibly separated and sent skidding over the ground. Shadow WereGarurumon spun around and leapt after the angel with no apology or seeming regret.
"Reign him in!" shouted Takeru. Kuro looked at his uncle. He then looked at Shadow WereGarurumon.
The wolf was swinging out in all directions now as the angel laughed and circled around him. Silphymon soon became part of the wolf's target list and soon Shadow WereGarurumon had Silphymon pinned to the ground. Angemon had gotten thrown into a building and then slammed into the sidewalk. A sudden wave of guilt ran in Kuro's heart and the crimson tinges turned to a deep gold.
"Shadow WereGarurumon slide digivolve to Paildramon!" the wolf digimon shape shifted to a large black and gold version of the dragon warrior the others knew very well. The dragon warrior blinked and then turned his head around to Lord Holy Angemon. He growled and leapt after it.
"Yeah…thanks for the apology," grumbled Silphymon as the cyborg leapt after the dragon.
"You can't seem to choose can you?" remarked Lord Holy Angemon as he circled above the oncoming, armored warrior.
"Desperado Darkness!" Paildramon pointed his arms up and unleashed bolt after bolt of shadow energy at the angel. Lord Holy Angemon dove in and out of the attacks and cringed as one of the blasts struck him square in the chest.
"We have to help him…" growled Silphymon as the cyborg took to the air. "Which one?" Yolei shouted up to the DNA digivolved digimon.
"Don't make the situation more difficult, Yolei!" Angemon called as he stood and glided into the sky.
"Fools, do you really think you defeat me, Lord Lucemon's guardian of light?" growled the angel as he caught himself in the air.
"Shut up already!" shouted Silphymon. The creature drew its clawed hands together. "Static Forces!" a large red orb of energy grew above the cyborg's head and the digimon tossed it forward.
"Hand of Fate!" Angemon unleashed his golden beam of light.
Holy Angemon sliced through the orb of crimson energy. He took the strike of the Hand of Fate in the chest.
"Desperado Darkness!" shouted Paildramon as the digimon dove down shooting its unholy black energy at Lord Holy Angemon.
"EXCALIBUR!" Lord Holy Angemon sliced the air with his blade and a blast of fire and light flew forward sending Paildramon in a high tight arc through the inky black sky.
"Hand of Fate!" the golden beam of radiance slashed out at Holy Angemon.
The robed angel turned. "Don't you understand? Your attacks are complimentary to me, Angemon…in fact I'm drawing power from them…" He drew his sword up and swung down unleashing a shockwave into Angemon slamming the angel in the blue sash into the street.
"Draw power from this!" shouted Silphymon as the cyborg tackled Lord Holy Angemon.
"Fool!" chuckled the angel as he fell with Silphymon. The angel quickly twisted and embraced Silphymon using the cyborg as a cushion as he slammed into the pavement. Lord Holy Angemon stood and smirked. He shot into the sky as Paildramon flew at him with his claws drawn. The cyborg digimon groaned and stood shakily. It looked up and saw the oncoming claws; Silphymon leapt backwards and only missed the claws by inches. The dragon almost swept around but Lord Holy Angemon spoke. The angel almost laughed, "What's wrong Paildramon? Can't you decide who the enemy is?" The dragon's eyes narrowed and he turned on the angel.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Kuro's voice rang loudly from his position. A swirl of black energy now crackled around him. His eyes were glowing bright red.
"No…" whispered Gennai. "No you must not unlock the beast child…no…"
"Child, you're hindering existence here will be short," growled Lord Holy Angemon as he raised his sword up level to the child. Paildramon shot upwards but Lord Holy Angemon flicked his wings closed and slid to the left letting the dragon miss and fly by. "You die now!" A shock wave shimmered forward towards Kuro. The boy gave a mildly bemused smirk and lifted his hand. A red barrier flashed up and evaporated the attack.
"No…I don't think you understand," growled Kuro. He lifted his digivice. The little machine squealed angrily and throbbed passionately in the owner's hand. It shook with all its might. "I think you need to be taught a lesson!" A streamer of black slashed at the angel cutting the digimon's face. A pulse ran through Kuro's body a dark lavender pulse. Kuro screamed in agony. The boy's eyes flickered. "What is going on!" growled the child as he fell to his knees. The boy's growl turned into pained sobs.
"I am here on orders from Lord Lucemon to destroy those who attempt to usurp my liege's plans for paradise," The angel stabbed into the air with his sword, "and I plan to carry out those orders now!" The blade sunk into the atmosphere and a rose glimmer shone from the air's wound. The angel drew a slow arcing circle in the air with his blade.
"Oh, shit…" was all Takeru could get out before the angel completed the circle.
"Shit indeed…" murmured Gennai.
"Kari, Yolei!" shouted Silphymon. The digimon leapt up and grabbed the two women by the midriff and leapt up the street.
"Patamon!" shouted Takeru as ran to where Angemon had fallen into the street. The angel had just recently de-digivolved after a number of minutes of unconsciousness. He gathered the small hamster like digimon. He ran over to nephew and attempted to grab him by the arm but the black fog of power that was surrounding the child denied Takeru his wish.
"Kuro!" growled Paildramon as the dragon warrior landed next to the child. Paildramon's eyes were different and not crazy like they were before. The digimon spoke loudly. "Takeru…you must go…I will deal with the angel…"
"You don't understand!" shouted Takeru. "When that thing opens it's going to suck up this entire block, nothing is going to stop it!"
"No, you don't understand!" growled Paildramon the digimon lifted its arms. "Kuro is my partner…no matter what force has overtaken him or what form I take, I must stop this overgrown pigeon from hurting him if it's the last thing I do!"
"But the…" Takeru saw the gun ports of Paildramon's arms charging. They were still pointed at him. The dragon's eyes turned cold and almost regressed to their 'crazy attack anything' forms again. A sense of terror swept through the man as he looked at the venomously glowing weapons at eye level. He backed off and ran.
"Finish this…" growled Kuro as he looked up. His eyes had returned to their blood red state. Paildramon turned and looked at the golden gate that floated in the air.
"Desperado Darkness!" Paildramon shot into the air. Bursts of darkness exploded over the gate's surface and into the empty sky trying to hit the angel on the opposite side of the golden structure.
"Gate Of Destiny!" shouted Lord Holy Angemon relishing every word of the phrase and letting 'S' of destiny trail a little longer and drawing out the 'E' sound of the 'Y' like it was the end of a long pleasant song.
The gate slowly opened as the gold middle separated revealing a surface like liquid Mercury that shimmered luminescent silver. Unholy winds swept around Paildramon's wings as he tried to maintain the course. He looked down at the boy. The black fog was thickening the child was now standing and his digivice was screeching once again. Paildramon swept around and flew towards Kuro.
"Don't be a fool, the boy is not important; destroy the angel! I can always find a new host!" shouted the boy in a demonic voice. "Don't let the angel defeat you, you overgrown lizard, fight back!"
"You are not Kuro…" shouted Paildramon over the winds that were whipping upwards reaching for the gate.
"I may not but I have his body…" boy sneered the, "and I have his soul there in! Should I show you…?" The boy closed his eyes and opened them. "Paildramon…please…"
The dragon narrowed its eyes and turned to the angel. "Cable Catcher!" the wires shot out but not at the angel but at the buildings on either side of the street. Paildramon tugged hard on them and then turned his gun ports to the gate. "You're going down! Desperado Darkness!" wave after wave after wave of black plasma shot forward slamming uselessly into the ever intensifying gate. The winds were starting to degrade the buildings and sucked in bricks. Paildramon heard the car behind him whine as it was forcibly dragged into the sky. Paildramon's head turned. Kuro screamed. The car had snagged the boy's belt at the bumper.
"Paildramon!" screamed Kuro's voice. The car flew upwards towards the gate. "SAVE ME!" The crest was glowing blackly and Paildramon knew he had to save what ever demon was also with in the crest but he had no choice he couldn't let Kuro be destroyed.
The dragon warrior wrenched the cables from the buildings they were fastened to and shot forward easily catching the car and then dove for Kuro. He snagged the boy and pulled the child from the vehicle as it was sucked into the liquid surface and disappeared. Paildramon put his own body between the savagely hungry gate and Kuro. He flapped his wings intensely, pulling away from the gate. Lord Holy Angemon was laughing heartily at the dragon's attempts, but Paildramon slowly made it to the ground. He let out a length of his cable and snapped it and tied the child to the pillar of one of the remaining buildings.
"PAILDRAMON!" the red glow was gone from Kuro's eyes. The fog was fading. "Hurry tie yourself down!" The child had a death grip on the digimon's arm.
"I can't…hold much longer!" shouted Paildramon as the winds increased. The darkness was receding. The power was being stripped from him joule by joule. The body of Paildramon faded in waves to that of Shadramon. Kuro maintained the grip on the arm of the fiery armored moth digimon.
"Shadramon!" shouted Kuro over the wind. "Don't you dare let go!"
"I'm sorry, Kuro, I'm sorry I wasn't better at fighting or being a protector or at being stable!" shouted Shadramon as he de-digivolved to Psychemon. Kuro's grip slipped slightly but he still was grasping onto the claws of the digimon's white fur coat.
"Don't say that!" shouted Kuro. The boy's face was wet and tears shot into Psychemon's face and little shimmers of water flew passed the digimon's line of sight and rained into the gate. "You were the best…" Kuro's grip slid a bit more. He couldn't hold the digimon against the winds of the gate. "DON'T GO! PLEASE STAY WITH ME AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO FIGHT AGAIN!"
"I-I'm sorry…" whispered Psychemon as he de-digivolved one last time to Tsunomon. Kuro lost his grip on the round furry digimon and watched horror as his partner was gobbled up by the gate. The winds stopped and the gate slowly closed and turned. The energy from the gate condensed and flowed into LordHoly Angemon.
Kuro felt something. He felt something; inside of him was a second person a beastly entity. It was laughing, laughing at the pain in his heart. A creature of evil and malignance was looking at him in his mind's eye. A thing that was reviled and hated. Kuro's eyes narrowed, he knew this was what truly sent Tsunomon to the gate, and it used himself to do it. Kuro didn't know why and it didn't matter. He pushed it out of his mind he rammed it down out of his head and down, down into his heart and then jammed it into the crest trying to seal it there.
"You may have won this round, human, but I won't be far from you, not far at all!" The dark voice chuckled. His crest seemed to give a dark flash before it stopped glowing all together.
"Now…child," The angel glided down a bit towards the tied up child. "You'll know my true power!" His wings glowed brightly as they were bronzed with bright gold. His robes were replaced with tough looking, spiked armor. A large, wide blade sword hung on a sheath at his hip. His helmet was a simple gold and spiked and he had black hair. The boy looked up, but not in terror in stead he looked at the figure in a basic, total, unequivocal, hatred as the angel unsheathed his sword.

AN: That's right I destroyed a digimon…and not just to an egg…he's been absorbed into what is now Dominimon. Will any one save Kuro? And who should Kuro be saved from…The thing in the crest or Dominimon!?
Oh a tengu is a sort of mystic wizard or demon from Japanese folklore that basically has the wings and feet of a crow, they are usually very wise and master swordsmen. And a couple of Lord Holy Angemon's Excalibur attacks all I have to say is…think Inuyasha and the Kaze no Kizu AKA the Wind Scar.
