I don't own Digimon
Return of an Old Foe
888
"Come on Agumon," grumbled Isamu to the red dinosaur digimon as they pressed forward in the direction the boy's digivice had been directing them. "The signature is moving; I don't want to lose it!"
The small flat nosed digimon ran after the small boy with spiky brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing one of those jerseys that were an imitation of a real professional soccer team's. He had soccer shorts on and running shoes.
"I wish these things would run towards us!" Agumon simpered as the red digimon chased after Isamu.
"Wait, you may just get your wish," Isamu stopped in his tracks. The red dot had changed direction and was heading straight for them. "Here he comes…" An orange burst shot from the foliage as an identical creature as the red digimon that was with Isamu stumbled past.
"Agumon!" shouted Isamu to the orange dinosaur. The creature stopped and turned.
"Isamu!" the digimon smiled and then looked up in fear. "Uh oh…"
"I know you are near little one!" roared an unpleasant voice. A large ivory digimon slashed through the foliage. Isamu looked up in terror at the large skeletal digimon. He looked like a cross between a rocket launcher and a fossil exhibit in the museum.
"Skull Greymon!" gasped the two Agumon in unison. "The scourge of Ultimate level…the unstoppable necromantic digimon…"
"I found you!" growled the digimon as he lowered his skeletal claws towards Isamu and the Agumon.
"That doesn't mean anything!" shouted a voice. Isamu looked up. A young man in red and white with shoulder guards and knee guards stood on the branch of a tree. Next to him was another, younger boy; he was accompanied by a black lizard digimon with a bladed helmet. The older boy pointed forward, "Do it Monodramon!"
A purple dragon with large webbing between its arms and torso glided from the foliage. "Monodramon digivolve to Strike Dramon!" The purple digimon morphed into a white and blue slim dragon with green army pants. The new digimon reminded him of a slimmer form of a slimmer, wingless Ex Veemon he even had the small 'V' design on his chest. The dragon clenched his fist, "Strike Claw!" he slashed forward releasing a burst of orange and red energy into the skeletal monstrosity Skull Greymon.
The large skeletal digimon growled and slapped the attack aside. "Good a decent contest!" roared Skull Greymon.
"This Skull Greymon isn't like the others," murmured the orange Agumon. "This one can think and speak…"
"You better help Strike Dramon, Ryuudamon," said the younger boy. He had fuzzy purple hair and he wore glasses. He had a purple shirt and wore khakis. The black lizard next to him nodded and leapt forward.
"Ryuudamon digivolve to TobuCatmon!" the black lizard shifted and turned into a large furry purple feline digimon with purple wings that if flapped as it shot forward. "Tobutobu Phoenix!" yelped the cat as it released a large fiery phantom of a red bird. The phoenix slammed into Skull Greymon hard. The large skeleton growled loudly and ripped both of his hands forward to break up the attack.
"Dark Shot!" roared Skull Greymon as the missile on his back was released. Strike Dramon and TobuCatmon dove out of the way but the black swirls around missile slapped the two digimon into the trees.
"We have to help them, Isamu," said the red Agumon. The boy nodded and held up his digivice. "Agumon digivolve to Tyranomon!" the red Agumon turned into a large red Tyrannosaur and he stomped up to Skull Greymon. "Hey big guy!" Tyranomon lunged at Skull Greymon but the skeletal digimon grabbed Tyranomon and threw the large red dinosaur over his shoulder.
"Tyranomon!" shouted Isamu.
"Foolish child," growled Skull Greymon. The skeleton turned and slammed his foot down in front of Isamu knocking the boy backwards. Agumon ran up to Isamu.
"We have to run," said Agumon. The orange dinosaur pulled at Isamu. "He's too strong…"
"But…" Isamu looked up as Tyranomon grabbed Skull Greymon from behind. The large skeleton pulled Tyranomon over his head and flung him on his back on the ground in front of him. Agumon grabbed Isamu and pulled him from the attack.
"Fire Breath!" roared Tyranomon as he launched a blast of fire into the face of Skull Greymon. The ivory white digimon reached down through the hell storm and grabbed Tyranomon by the throat.
"Strike Claw!" roared Strike Dramon as the blue dragon slammed down with his claws.
"Guruguru Fighting!" hundreds of blades fired from the trees as TobuCatmon spun out of the leaves. Skull Greymon swatted at the two digimon angrily.
"It's not enough!" shouted the older boy in the tree. "He's too strong!"
Skull Greymon's large ivory tail swung around slapping Strike Dramon to the ground. The small cat digimon barely escaped the closing jaws of the fossilized digimon.
"Fire Breath!" roared Tyranomon again as he fired a second blast into the face of Skull Greymon. Skull Greymon growled and lifted Tyranomon up by the neck.
"I should destroy you all now!" growled Skull Greymon. "Lord Lucemon would be most pleased with that!"
"No! Tyranomon!" Isamu ran from Agumon and ran up and kicked Skull Greymon in the foot. The large digimon took no notice. The creature overstepped him. Isamu looked at the blue dragon that was on the ground. "You have to help me!" The dragon hopped to its feet and nodded. Isamu picked up a rock. "Get me up there and I'll jam this rock in his eye that will show him for overstepping me!" Strike Dramon picked up Isamu and the boy slipped around onto the dragon's back as the blue digimon leapt up and ran up the vertebrae of Skull Greymon and propelled himself off of the digimon's missile and landed on the creature's skull. Isamu leapt down dropping the rock and slamming his foot into the stone shooting it straight into Skull Greymon's left eye. "GOAL!!!!" shouted Isamu crashed down on the snout of the beast.
The creature's right eye narrowed as its iris focused on Isamu. "Irritating human!" Skull Greymon dropped Tyranomon as he prepared to swat the boy.
"No you don't!" shouted Tyranomon.
Isamu looked defiantly into Skull Greymon's eye. "I'm not afraid of you! You're nothing more than am underfed bully!" Suddenly his digivice glowed a bright orange. Isamu looked at it. The screen displayed a glowing orange sun.
"Tyranomon digivolve to Master Tyranomon!" Tyranomon grew larger and grey. Large slash marks formed on his belly and his claws grew longer. Strike Dramon leapt down and scooped up Isamu as Master Tyranomon dropped his claws on Skull Greymon's snout. Isamu looked around and saw Master Tyranomon swing his large leathery tail into the skeleton. Master Tyranomon opened his mouth. "Master Fire!" a blast of white flame engulfed Skull Greymon. The fire subsided to reveal a blackened form of the skeleton. Suddenly a breeze blew and the charred dust blew away. Master Tyranomon de-digivolved to Koromon.
"Koromon!" Isamu leapt forward and ran up to the small pink digimon. He held up the pink ball and hugged the digimon tightly. "You did it! You did it!"
TobuCatmon and Strike Dramon de-digivolved to their rookie forms as the two humans up in the tree leapt down.
"Hi…" Agumon said waving.
"Hello," said the boy in the shoulder and knee guards walked forward, "I am Reese, and this here is Carlyle." The boy indicated to the younger man behind him. "We escaped to the Digital World in the chaos after the start of the attacks." The young man explained. "Why are you here?"
"Actually!" Isamu replied with a little haughtiness. "We're here to find this guy, and save both worlds!" Isamu rubbed Agumon's head gently.
"Sure…" smirked Reese. "I'm sure you and your one digimon can save both worlds…"
"I'm not alone, I have my cousin, Akeno, and there's Kitai and Hiroshi, Kiyoshi, and Ai," Isamu ticked off the names. "Noriko, Sumi, and Kougi…we already fought Lucemon once…we didn't get very far, but we got away…My aunt and Kiyoshi's Mom's digimon digivolved to Silphymon, Kitai's Dad's digimon digivolved to Angemon…"
"Wait…Silphymon…?" Carlyle looked at Reese. "This kid may be the real deal…I mean we just saw the kid's digimon digivolve to its Ultimate level…he may be one of the Chosen Ones…"
"No way, the Chosen Ones are all adults," replied Reese. He looked at Koromon and then at Isamu and then at Agumon. "Maybe though…"
"We need to get you back to father, Agumon," said Isamu. "He's been staying in New York…is there a nearby port station…?"
"Yeah…" Reese nodded. The boy walked forward, "I'll lead you to it. Your Koromon wouldn't be able to protect you from much…plus…I just have to ask…Agumon, are you the Agumon of Taichi Kamaiya? The Agumon that can Warp Digivolve?"
"Umm…" Agumon blushed a little, "Yes…"
Reese's eyes bulged. "Then it would be an honor to lead you to the port station!" Isamu, Koromon and Agumon blinked and then nodded slowly as Reese walked past them.

Agumon waved a little at the three humans. "Bye, I hope…I find Tai…"
Suddenly Isamu's digivice vibrated. The boy lifted it. A pulse of light flew out and struck the port. It shifted and the epicenter showed the image of Taichi looking into a screen.
"DAD!" shouted Isamu.
"Isamu!" Taichi smiled. "Agumon, buddy! Man am I glad you're here…there is this giant battle in Times Square. Some Devimon wannabe guy; it looks like they need us!"
"I'm coming through!" announced Agumon as the orange digimon leapt through the port.
The digi-port snapped closed. Isamu sighed in relief that he had gotten Agumon to his father. He looked up. Reese and Carlyle were standing there; their eyes were filled with sparkles.
"Your, Your dad is the great Taichi Kamaiya?" gasped the two.
"Yes…?" Isamu looked at the two. He gave a questioning look, "Why?"
"That must be so awesome…" said the two. Their jaws were hanging.
"Not really, he's never home…always off being an ambassador…" replied Isamu. He was about to continue when his D-Terminal beeped. Isamu opened the device and read the message within. "Noriko and Kitai, they say they found Palmon and are wondering what to do now…"
"What should we do?" asked Koromon.
"We'll go there!" replied Reese. Carlyle looked up at the older boy.
"What?" Isamu looked at Reese.
"We'll go there, you guys need a meeting place, and if we're all there together we can help each other!" replied Reese. He drew the hood of the red hooded jacket he was wearing over his white T-shirt over his head and he swept around. "There is a train station not far from here; tell your friends to wait there for us…"
Isamu looked down at Koromon and shrugged and followed the older boy as he walked out of the portal station.

"We have to try another attack against Neo Devimon," Mimi said to Michael.
"We can't he's too strong," said Michael. The young man put his hot chocolate down. It was nearly nightfall, not that anyone could notice. Neo Devimon had bathed the city in a fog of darkness, much like the one Myotismon had unleashed on Tokyo. "We only barely survived…"
There was a knock at the door. Mimi looked up. She wasn't expecting anyone. The other digi-destined were sleeping in the living room. Mimi got up from the kitchen stool she was sitting on and she walked out to the front door. Michael took another sip of hot chocolate. Suddenly Mimi screamed and Michael dropped the cup and ran out to the front door. Mimi was smothering something in her arms. It was green and had a flower head. A digimon was standing in the doorway. It was like a flower lizard.
"OH PALMON!" screamed Mimi in tearful happiness. She let the digimon down.
"I brought a friend for Samuel," said Palmon as she attempted to stabilize herself on the ground.
"Oh who?" Mimi looked at the digimon that Palmon had brought with her.
"Me, Floramon, I used to be Tanemon…" said Floramon quietly, "But I digivolved…something went wrong and I digivolved to Floramon instead of Palmon…"
"Oh but you have such pretty hands," said Mimi as she reached down and held Floramon's flower like hands.
"Why is it so dark here?" asked Palmon. The plant digimon walked further into the kitchen. "Shouldn't it be near day break?"
"Neo Devimon," said Michael.
"D-Devimon…" gulped Palmon.
"Neo Devimon," said Michael stressing the 'Neo'. "Some sort of Ultimate digimon, we tried to beat him but he was far too strong…"
"We can try again!" Mimi turned around and looked at Michael. "We have two more digimon. We have Palmon now! We can do it! I know we can!"
"I don't know…" Michael looked down. "We got badly thrashed last time."
"We can try at least," implored Palmon. "We can't let Devimon or Neo Devimon take over the city who knows what he would do!"
Michael looked at Mimi and then at Palmon and he furrowed his brows, "I'll wake the others…"
"I'll get Samuel," said Mimi and she disappeared up a flight of stairs. She returned with a small boy with reddish brown hair. He was in a blue shirt and khakis.
"Samuel!" shouted Floramon as the digimon leapt up.
"T-Tanemon…" asked the boy quietly. "You're a girl digimon…"
"Well, duh!" said the digimon with a bit of a push on the boy's shoulder. "I am a girl digimon; you got a problem with it?"
"No…," said Samuel quietly.
"Good," smiled Floramon and she hugged Samuel. The boy blushed a little.
"Are we ready…?" asked Michael. Behind him and Betamon, were a boy with a Tapirmon, a girl with a Salamon, a boy with a Candlemon and a girl with a Penguinmon. Two more boys appeared, one was a spiky haired boy with tan hair, and a Guilmon was with him. The other was a blue haired boy in a puffy vest jacket, he had a Terriermon with him and then there was a tall, attractive, red haired girl. A Renamon followed her.
"I'm ready when you guys are," said Mimi. She slid her digivice onto the hem of the work jeans she was wearing.
"Then let's go…" said Michael. With that the group of children and digimon led by the two adults exited the house.
888
"You have returned for more?" laughed Neo Devimon. He saw the group of children and Digimon gathering in Times Square, his new center of command.
It didn't take them long, after Betamon had digivolved to Seadramon. The group had ridden on his back. They now were making a line in the empty Times Square.
"Let's do it," growled Seadramon. The rookies stepped forward.
"Tapirmon digivolve to Sorcerymon," the small purple elephantine digimon turned into a white wizard with a crystalline staff.
"Salamon digivolve to D'Arcmon!" The puppy kitten digivolved into a canine angel.
"Candlemon digivolve to Meramon!" the small candle stick leapt forward and instantly turned into the flaming man, Meramon.
"Penguinmon digivolve to Unimon!" the purple aquatic bird opened its wings and turned into the winged horse with the red armor mask with the large horn.
"Guilmon digivolve to Growlmon!" the small red dinosaur morphed into a larger red dinosaur with a white mane.
"Terriermon, Digivolve to Gargomon!" the rabbit dog digimon jumped forward and turned into a large rabbit with machine gun like arms.
"Renamon digivolve to Kyuubimon," the bipedal golden fox digimon morphed into a four legged, yellow, fox digimon with nine flaming tails. Her paws had plumes of fire on them.
"Palmon, you ready?" Mimi looked down at her digimon.
"Sure am…" said Palmon with a smile. "Palmon digivolve to Togemon!" Palmon's flowery form morphed into a large walking cactus sporting red boxing gloves.
"Is that all you're going to do?" Chuckled Neo Devimon.
"Hey big, dark and dorky! I've not gone yet!" shouted Floramon.
"You can digivolve?" Samuel asked quietly.
"Umm, I think so…" said Floramon.
"Let's see," growled Neo Devimon. "Stun Claw!" A blast of black lightning shot down at Samuel.
"Samuel!" shouted Mimi. The woman reached out but a light swept past her.
"Floramon digivolve to Harpymon!" the taloned bird woman dove from the light and in front of Samuel taking the blast. She fell to the ground and slid. Samuel ran over to the digimon and held her up gently.
She had a stern face and wore red lined, white armor. Her arms were covered in white feathers and a feathered tail swept from her lower back.
"Harpymon are you ok?" asked Samuel. The boy's eyes filled with tears. The digimon opened her eyes.
"I'm fine, don't cry," whispered Harpymon the digimon used Samuel as a crutch and stood. She turned her eyes upwards to where the demon that struck was standing on the ledge of a skyscraper. "Neo Devimon, you'll have to do better than that!"
"I plan to!" shouted Neo Devimon. He opened his arms, "Deep Sorrow!"
A wave of black energy swept over the digimon and the digi-destined. Together the group shouted in pain as the energy crackled around them.
"No…" whimpered Mimi. "No, it can't be like this I can't let them get hurt…this was my idea and I can't let them get hurt…" A burst of light in the shape of a tear drop shot from Mimi's chest. It absorbed the darkness and then sought out Togemon.
"What?" The other Digi-destined looked up at the light. Even Neo Devimon was watching in fascination.
The burst struck Togemon. "Togemon digivolve to…Lilymon!" The giant cactus turned into a leafy fairy clad in a pink flower petal dress. She turned to look at Mimi; her wings whirred as she flew. "I don't know about you, but this new black is just out of fashion!" She turned and a bulb formed in her hands that turned into a giant flower with a cannon barrel in it. "Flower Cannon!" A green burst shot up and struck Neo Devimon in the chest. The devil roared angrily and took to the air.
"We got him on the run," shouted Michael. He punched his fist forward, "Let's get him!"
"Ice Blast!" Seadramon fired his wave of frost at the devil as it flew over.
"Magma Bomb!" Meramon launched balls of fire at Neo Devimon.
"Come on, let's really get after him!" shouted Sorcerymon. He lifted off the ground. D'Arcmon and Kyuubimon followed him. Unimon galloped after them and opened his wings.
Unimon wheeled around and opened his mouth, "Horn Blaster!" an aquamarine sphere struck Neo Devimon.
"Aquarius Fill!" Sorcerymon fired bolts of white lightning at the devil as it dove in and out of the blasts.
"Demon Fire Ball!" a blast of red fire from Kyuubimon singed Neo Devimon's right wing eliciting a loud growl from the demon.
"La Pucelle!" Pink streamers of energy from D'Arcmon slammed into Neo Devimon's back sending the digimon toppling into the side of a building.
"Silent Symphony!" Harpymon opened her mouth and a blast of twisting aurora silent shot forward slamming Neo Devimon further into the building.
"Flower Cannon!" Lilymon opened her flower and shot another blast of green into the devil.
Neo Devimon didn't growl this time. He laughed. He hovered forward. His hands opened. "Stun Claw!" several strikes of black energy lashed out and cut the destined digimon down. Even Lillymon was sent crashing into street below. "Your little parlor tricks may surprise the weak minded, but I am not shocked, and I am not impressed by you, flower maiden!"
"Flower Cannon!" Lilymon fired a barrage of green blasts up at Neo Devimon.
"Don't insult me!" growled the devil as he slapped away the green bursts. "Deep Sorrow!" wave after wave of black fog washed over the digimon and their partners. Dark energy crackled through out the sea of darkness.
"We have to be strong," growled Lilymon. She winced as one of the bursts of energy singed her cheek.
"Come on guys," called Harpymon. The feathered woman struggled forward, "Let's show this guy what the power of the digi-destined really is…"
"Gargo Laser!" The rabbit lifted his arm and unleashed a barrage of energy beams at Neo Devimon.
"Plasma Blade!" Growlmon slashed forward with his claws releasing blades of energy.
"Wind Seeker!" Harpymon cupped her hands together and pushed them forward and a pulse of white followed by three intertwining contrails flew forward and slammed into Neo Devimon's head. The devil roared angrily and turned his head to Harpymon.
"You're a nuisance!" shouted Neo Devimon.
"What about me!?" shouted Lillymon as the flower child buzzed upward and swung her foot around kicking the demon in the face. "You know I'm much more than a pretty face…I have a pretty good round house kick too!"
"Something's not right…" whispered Michael.
"What do you mean?" asked Mimi.
"He's taking all of this abuse but he's not getting any weaker…" Michael narrowed his eyes.
"Deep Sorrow!" a wave of black sent the destined digimon flying backwards.
"Flower Cannon!" Lilymon returned fired
"Ice Blast!" Seadramon swung around a building and shot forward.
"Wind Seeker!" Harpymon's attack merged with Seadramon's and it became a literal blizzard of blades as the two attacks combined.
"Battlement D'Armour!" D'Arcmon fired several barrages of light at Neo Devimon.
"Aquarius Fill!" shouted the white wizard as his lightning bolts drew D'Arcmon's attack together.
"Horn Buster!" Unimon dove down low and let Meramon take a hold of his hoof. The fire man was lifted off the ground.
"Magma Bomb!" a steady stream of fire balls encompassed Unimon's aquamarine attack and it bloomed into a giant orange sphere of energy.
"Dragon Wheel!" a blue specter of a dragon spun forward from Kyuubimon.
"Flower Cannon!" Lilymon sent a well aimed, green burst of plant energy into the spinning specter. Large white lilies flowed after the dragon.
"Exhaust Flame!" roared the red dinosaur, Growlmon.
"Gargo Laser!" Gargomon leapt forward and lent his fire power to that of Growlmon.
The attacks all slammed into the chest of Neo Devimon. The trails of lilies stuck to Neo Devimon's chest and exploded. The devil cringed angrily and looked up. A cold smile cut across his face. He opened his wings wide.
"What fun, no?" Neo Devimon chuckled. A black aura swam around the devil. "Let me increase the fun!"
"That's why!" shouted Michael. He looked up in fear as the aura deepened and totally enveloped the devil and shot upwards. "He was absorbing the energy to digivolve!"
Mimi looked up in horror. The black aura evaporated and a strange globular creature with a metal helmeted head and large globule like wings and large metallic claws glided forward.
"I am Metamormon!" announced the creature.
"Flower Cannon!" shouted Lilymon. The pulse bounced off the globulin creature.
"Foolish girl!" a tendril shot from the creature's body and wrapped itself around Lilymon and dragged the struggling fairy up to itself. "Your pathetic little attack is nothing to me…"
"Lilymon!" shouted Mimi as she pushed forward.
"Wind Seeker!" Harpymon dove in close to Metamormon's face and fired the wind attack straight in the creature's eyes. Metamormon growled, releasing Lilymon in favor of the wind witch.
"Fool!" shouted Metamormon as he glowed brightly. The humans gasped as his figure changed. The light faded revealing a clown of sorts, on his back were swords. He turned to reveal a painted mask, half of which was white and half was black. He wore a red puffy shirt and large green, puffy pants. His shoes were yellow and curled at the toe.
"Piedmon…" Mimi grabbed her son and drew him in close to her.
"Trump Sword!" shouted the clown releasing his blades at Lilymon and Harpymon.
"Flower Cannon!" shouted Lilymon as she dropped back defensively but it was no use the blades sliced cleanly into the fairy's shoulder sending the flower child spiraling downwards.
"I got you!" shouted Harpymon. The feathered woman snatched Lilymon from the air and turned to face the digimon that attacked them.
"What are you?" shouted Harpymon.
"I am Metamormon," replied the figure. "My power is the ability to morph into any digimon…regardless of their level or strength." He laughed and flicked his gloved hands up. "Clown Trick!" a blast of magic shot forward slamming both Harpymon and Lillymon into the ground. Lilymon de-digivolved to Tanemon as she skidded across the pavement. Harpymon slammed into a window after bouncing off the street. Floramon struck the ground hard as the light around her faded.
"Now to finish the rest of you off!" shouted Metamormon.
"Not so fast!" shouted a voice that made Mimi almost smile. She turned her head to see a spiky haired figure running forward with a short lizard like creature with a flat nose.

AN: Thanks to Lord Lodis. As to the fake, Chapter 16, that was a screw up on my part, posted the wrong chapter to the wrong story…hopefully this will make up for it!
This is a bit of a double chapter. Yay, for Lilymon and yay for male humans having female digimon partners! Oh and as to Lilymon, Mimi never did give up her power to Imperialdramon unless she did it sometime in one of the movies…(which I have not seen) So for me Lilymon still can be conjured, though it seemed her victory was short lived.
