I don't own Digimon
Two For the Price of One!

"Desperado Blaster!" Paildramon fired blasts of super heated plasma forward. The dark creature they were facing shot backwards as the blast flew by.
"So…there were more in the city…" growled the figure. He was about the height of a twelve year old. A theatre cloak swept over his shoulder. He had pointy hair and his grin exposed fangs.
"You bet there were more!" growled a large insect. He was dark blue and had a helmeted head that sported a large horn. "Electro Shocker!"
"Fools!" He swept his hand in front of himself and a large shadowy circle formed before him. A black whirlpool filled the air and sucked in the blast of electricity. The being then flicked his hand and the gate vomited its contents at the large insect sending the beast slamming through two or three houses.
"Metal…Wolf Claw!" The metal, lupine Mega digimon was on its feet. A blast of bluish ice was flying towards the dark figure.
"You are still exhausted with your pathetic attempts against Dominimon," the figure spread out his fingers and swept his hand in a back slapping movement. The burst of blue ice flew off in a torrent of dark energy like a mosquito trapped in a hurricane. "You are no threat to me…" His dark eyes widened and a dark pulse crushed the metal wolf through the pile of rubble it was standing on.
"Metal Garurumon!" shouted tall some tan haired man that was on the ground.
"Oh father…" chuckled the figure as he looked down. "Your pet is not dead….yet."
"Kuro, you stop this now!" shouted the man as he looked up.
"Yamato Ishida…." The figure lowered itself down to the man it called 'father', "You should know that Kuro isn't pulling the strings anymore. He's only a focus of your sympathy, a shield to use against you…if you try to evict me; you'll hurt your son…more than likely kill him!" The digimon laid a long dark claw like fingernail on his cheek and cut it down along his cheek. He smirked as the blood trickled down his boyish face. "Though I may hurt him without your…encouragement."
Yamato looked at the creature that was posing as his son, "You are a beast…there is nothing that will protect you; if it's the last thing I'll ever do I'll make sure you are destroyed whatever the hell you are!"
"I am…" the dark eyes shifted. They flicked up to meet the man he that was interrogating him. His fingers played on his lips and he licked the blood off of them. The blood red orbs twinkled and looked at Yamato more confidently. "Hehe…I am Damienmon." Yamato looked at him in fear. His son was now trapped in a digimon or was his son now a digimon? Damienmon smirked evilly. "That's right…I am Damienmon. I am every patch of darkness, the Dark Masters, Myotismon, Devimon, Even Etemon and Daemon. All of them were birthed from me…Apocalymon….he was my physical vessel, but you'll say that you destroyed him. That is true but you could never truly destroy me, Damienmon for my influence was still alive; trapped within the hidden Crest of Darkness. That fool, Gennai, and his allies sealed me away in the crest…little did they know…I was still able to manifest my influence on the outside world…and now…thanks to that fool's desperation to defeat Lucemon he's released something worse than that angel could ever hope to be…."
"Paildramon get him!" shouted a voice. The being, now identified as Damienmon, turned his head. Two men, one with spiky short hair and the other with longer, straight bluish hair were running forward. Damienmon growled. A third man with red hair was with them. The dark creature lifted his hand and the three of them were sent flying backward.
"Davis, Ken!" shouted the dragon warrior. He shot down.
"Oh please, I destroyed Dominimon, and he destroyed a Paildramon just like you!" growled Damienmon. A swirl of black formed around the beast's right fist.
"Then I better not be Paildramon!" shouted the combined voice of Stingmon and Ex Veemon. "Paildramon Mega Digivolve to Imperialdramon!" The large quadruped dragon with large red wings and black armor with blue skin shot forward. There was a large cannon situated between his shoulder blades. Golden metal strips covered his wrists and knees; his claws were also large golden blades.
"You'll have to do better than that!" Damienmon flicked his finger. The shockwave snapped Imperialdramon into a backwards spiral. The huge dragon crashed through several blocks of houses sending a plethora of splinters and dust clouds swirling through the air.
"Imperialdramon mode change to!" A large humanoid dragon with the same red wings and the same armor flew up out of the dust like a phoenix out of its ashes. "Imperialdramon Fighter Mode!" He flexed his right arm forward. A large cannon was situated there and it was glowing brightly.
"No!" Yamato leapt forward. "Davis, Ken tell him to stand down, Kuro is in that thing!" Yamato swung his hand back at Damienmon.
"Very good, Mr. Ishida," smirked Damienmon. "Very good indeed. Now…let's see…Sora is still with the others and if I remember right; her overgrown cockatiel isn't with her." Damienmon let out a soft chuckle as he lifted off the ground. He slowly glided backward on invisible currents of energy.
"Matt, we don't have a choice in the matter!" Izzy was struggling forward. He was limping badly on his right leg.
Yamato looked back at Damienmon and then at Izzy. A serious frown was burning across his lips.
"I guess you have a dilemma, Mr. Ishida," smirked Damienmon as he drew further from the scene. "You can either kill your son, or you can make the decision that will kill everything you've ever held dear!"

"Halley's Squall!" Super Starmon shot forward releasing blasts of light that slammed into Antylamon's stomach. The rabbit growled softly as it drew up its crimson red claws preparing for another strike.
The Turuiemon were on the defensive as Stingmon and Veedramon rushed them. Stingmon caught one of the purple hares and lifted it by its ears and flew upwards. Veedramon snagged the other one.
"Let's see if these two can see eye to eye," growled Veedramon to Stingmon.
The blue wasp digimon smirked and spun releasing the rabbit into the air. Veedramon did the same and the two purpled hares smashed into each other and then crashed to the ground unconscious.
"Should we finish them off, Kiyoshi?" asked Stingmon as he let his purple energy blade flick free.
"I think they've learned their lesson," shouted Kiyoshi. The boy turned his attention to the battle between Antylamon and Super Starmon. "Help the sheriff!"
Antylamon had Super Starmon pinned down. An evil smile curled across his lips. "Oh to strike you down now sheriff, would be but a prelude to what I'm going to do to your town," the rabbit lifted the star man up by his face and threw him against the wall of one of the wooden buildings that flanked Main Street. The grey rabbit then turned swiftly. Butterflymon was outside the saloon, standing in front of the door, and she had been watching the fight. Before anyone could react the rabbit was behind Butterflymon and was holding her up by her wings with one hand. "First I think I'll hurt your girlfriend." The star sheriff looked up in surprise and then tried to hide it. The rabbit scoffed, "Oh, don't hide it…everyone under the sun knows you two have a fling…" The rabbit bent down and gave Butterflymon a rough kiss. The armored insect's arm flashed up quickly and slashed across the rabbit's face. The red eyes of the hare narrowed. "Tsk, tsk…a pretty thing like you shouldn't strain yourself!" The rabbit tugged at Butterflymon's wings and the female screeched in pain.
"You leave my love kitten alone!" shouted Super Starmon as he struggled to his feet and then braced himself against the wall. "You came for me…now get your chords straight and finish this song!"
"No, Super Starmon…" whispered Butterflymon.
"Oh, poor sheriff, you don't understand defeat very well," chuckled the rabbit. He lifted Butterflymon up and walked forward out into the street. "Your defeat means I get to do what I want….and there is nothing you can do to stop me!"
"No!" Kiyoshi stepped forward. "You'll stop now, and we're going to stop you!"
Armadillomon pulled on Kiyoshi's pant leg, "You can't win, Antylamon is an Ultimate…he'll clean the streets with you!"
"It doesn't matter; what he is doing is cruel!" shouted Kiyoshi and he turned to Antylamon, "and we're stopping it now!"
"You hurt our friend…" shouted Kougi as he mustered his courage and stepped forward. "That means we're going to hurt you! You don't mess with another guy's girlfriend when he's watching and helpless…it's not right!"
"V Breath Arrow!" Veedramon fired his orange V of fire at Antylamon. The rabbit leapt backwards tossing Butterflymon into Super Starmon causing the two of them to collapse.
"Bunny Blades!" crimson crescents flew into Veedramon the purple dragon flew backwards into Stingmon. Antylamon smirked, "Now to finish you both off together!"
Kiyoshi growled. It was his fault, he sent Stingmon into this fight. He flicked his eyes back at Kougi. The boy's eyes were a mix of hard coldness and awe.
"We can't let them down now…" whispered Kougi. The boy's looked down at their digivices.
Kougi's digivice was depicting the image of a button with two little arms on each side with a squiggly line in the middle. It glowed blue. Kiyoshi's depicted a rose that glowed deep maroon. A beam shot out of each digivice, the blue light struck Veedramon and the maroon one struck Stingmon. The two digimon glowed with their respected colors and then merged.
"Stingmon!" called the throaty voice of the azure insect.
"Veedramon!" growled the purpled dragon.
"DNA digivolve to…..DinoBeemon!" A clawed fist shot forward and sent Antylamon sailing backwards and skidding down the street. A large bug-dragon beast buzzed forward. His face and wings were Stingmon's; his arms were Veedramon's. His torso and legs were a combination of the two with the beast sporting Stingmon's armor and Veedramon's skin and tail. He had a spiked collar as well as spiked secondary wing guards. His chest displayed the rose shaped Crest of Kindness superimposed over the spiral galaxy shape of the Crest of Friendship. "I am DinoBeemon; harnessing the power of Kindness and Friendship allowed Stingmon and Veedramon to merge to form myself! And I will stop Antylamon!"
888
"No…" growled a figure in a long duster as he watched the battle on Main Street. He narrowed his sapphire eyes. "I wonder; I may not be able to use my surplus powers to digivolve myself…." He drew his hands together and a crimson orb formed between the palms. He looked up to see Antylamon crumpling under a hazel blast of high frequency noise. Suddenly several, crimson, ribbon like swords shot from the small slots in the green armor of the large insect dragon. Antylamon howled as the blades sunk into his furred flesh. "He will not stand much longer…." The figure pushed the orb forward.
888
"Have you had enough!?" shouted Kiyoshi to the rabbit that was lying on the ground like a heap of garbage. The rabbit hadn't done well against DinoBeemon's Irritant Buzz attack and even less well against the prehistoric hornet's Hell's Masquerade. "You're defeated! Leave here now!"
Kougi nodded in agreement. DinoBeemon was buzzing between the humans and the rabbit. Suddenly there was a burst from the crowd; a crimson orb shot forward and embedded itself into Antylamon. The rabbit sat up and smirked evilly. He let out a loud laugh as he lifted his hands. A black aura surrounded him. The rabbit became heftier and his arms grew longer. Large, rounded wings protruded from his back. His skin was now a deep purple save for two green lines that ran down his face and down his body. "Antylamon digivolve to….Cherubimon!" The rabbit angel looked at the dinosaur insect and smirked.
"No….way…." whispered Kougi. He looked up at the hulking beast that was moving towards them.
"Hell's…" but DinoBeemon wasn't allowed to finish as the rabbit brought its fist down on the insect and sent it skidding backwards.
"Let me show you how it is done…" chuckled the angelic beast as he raised his hands. A black mass of clouds swirled above the town. "Storm of Judgment!" thousands of black bolts of lightning ripped into DinoBeemon. The Ultimate digimon roared in agony as it was sent flying. Smoke and fire were wafting from the insect dragon's body.
Kiyoshi and Kougi could only look on. It was obvious that Cherubimon outclassed DinoBeemon. Something within Kougi wouldn't let him give up hope though. He cupped his hands over his mouth, "Get up DinoBeemon you can't let this overgrown bunny beat you down!" DinoBeemon stood shakily and shook off the attack and looked at Cherubimon with contempt.
"Irritant Buzz!" the mandibles of the insect opened up and a pulse of green energy shot forward. The attack struck Cherubimon in the gut and the digimon groaned and staggered back. The panels on DinoBeemon's armor opened, "Hell's Masquerade!" the red ribbon swords flashed forward and sliced and wrapped around the large rabbit.
Cherubimon growled in aggravation and flexed his muscles freeing himself from the attack. He lifted his hand and a large crimson bolt of lightning was in his palm. "Lightning Spear!" the blast of dark electricity sent DinoBeemon flying backwards.
"We need to get DinoBeemon out of here…" whispered Kiyoshi. He looked at Kougi. "If we don't Cherubimon will shred him…"
"If we leave these digimon here, without us, Cherubimon will shred them," replied Kougi. He narrowed his eyes. "We can't leave them to that monster!"
"Hell's Masquerade!" the blaze of crimson blades attempted to impale Cherubimon but the celestial digimon grasped the crimson bursts and yanked pulling DinoBeemon into the angel's fist.
"DinoBeemon!" the two boys ran forward. "You have to get up!" Their crests glowed softly two little white orbs floated forward and merged into one. The larger orb glided forward and snuggled into DinoBeemon.
"DinoBeemon Mega Digivolve to…." A light filled the street easily overtaking the light of the sun. "Imperialdramon!" The large bluish green dragon stood. His body was wide and muscular. His head was like that of DinoBeemon's with a large purple helmet. His body was covered in azure armor and he had purple skin. His large violet wings flapped once letting loose a wave of dust and wind. On his back was a large canon. His claws were large golden talons. The dragon let out a roar that sent the crowd scrambling. The only crowd member left was a figure in a duster. He had a large ten gallon hat on that obscured his head save two brightly glowing sapphire eyes.
"Storm of Judgment!" Cherubimon held up his hands and then slammed them down to let loose his heavenly lightning attack on the dragon. The dragon let out a soft chuckle. Cherubimon narrowed his eyes, "No one laughs at me! Lightning Spear!" the crimson blast smacked Imperialdramon in the face.
The dragon twitched and looked down at Cherubimon. The dragon's cannon charged. "Cherubimon, let me show you how it's done!" The barrel of the cannon glowed bright white as trickles of hyper-heated plasma leaked forward. "Positron Laser!" the blast immediately vaporized the rabbit.
"NO!" roared the figure in the duster. The long coat swept around his feet. "HOW DO YOU KEEP WINNING!?" The figure clenched his fists and then reached up and yanked the duster from him. Twelve angelic wings flashed opened. The being threw his hat away revealing golden hair. "First it was Vineburg…then some how you destroyed Lord Holy Angemon, then it was Skull Greymon! Now you have destroyed a Mega Digimon! I am telling you now…no one escapes the wrath of Lucemon, unscathed!"
"Lucemon!" shouted Kiyoshi. He looked at Imperialdramon. "Now's our chance, get him!"
"Grand Cross!" Lucemon unleashed a large cross of energy. The black, foreboding blast of fire and celestial power rammed into the mighty dragon forcing it to slide backward and slightly sideways.
Imperialdramon groaned in pain but he shook off the attack. The cannon on the dragon's back charged again. "Positron Laser!" Lucemon looked in horror as the blaze of white hot energy rushed into him. He put his hands up defensively but it was already too late. A blast of light, heat and wind erupted upon contact with the angel. When the light faded and Kiyoshi and Kougi had regained their full vision they looked up. Lucemon was gone. He was not on the ground and to make sure they, Armadillomon and Imperialdramon searched out the wreckage left in the wake of the blast. There was no sign of the child angel anywhere in the wreckage.
A strange grin came over Kiyoshi. He looked at Kougi. "I think…we did it…"
"I have to admit…" Kougi replied. He looked at Imperialdramon, "I think we did do it…I mean Imperialdramon is a Mega digimon after all…"
They began to dance and cheer and celebrate in the street. Armadillomon felt a trickle of sweat sweep down his temple. "Hey…guys….we should probably still go…"
The two boys stopped and looked at Armadillomon. "Why? Lucemon is nothing but dust now…"
"But there are still rogues in the Human World," replied Armadillomon. "The Digi-destined may need my help!" Kougi and Kiyoshi looked at each other and nodded. "Imperialdramon, let's go to the nearest Port Station!" The dragon nodded and bowed a little to let the three passengers on.
Behind them the townspeople were running to them. "You got rid of Antylamon, Thanks! We kind of hoped to do it without destroying our buildings but you can't have your cake and eat it too!"
The Digi-destined smiled and waved back at the people as Imperialdramon rose vertically off the ground and then exploded off at hypersonic speed.

Sora was watching the others. Patamon had finally woken up. He whimpered and was looking back at where they had been.
"What happened?" asked Patamon. The little digimon tried to fly upwards but his wings winced and he fell back into Takeru's arms.
Hikari was standing next to Yolei and Silphymon. The cyborg digimon was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed and his hands in front of his chest. His hands formed a soft egg shape with his thumbs pointing upwards.
"I don't know…" Hikari's eyes narrowed, "All I know is that something attacked a few minutes ago and unleashed an attack so powerful it vaporized a few blocks."
Patamon looked up at Takeru. "TK…where is Kuro?"
Takeru's eyes hardened and he looked away. "Don't worry, Patamon…he's…probably in a safe place now…"
Gennai looked up at the Child of Hope. An eerie nausea flowed over him. He had, in a matter of hours, sent not just a digimon but a human to death, and quite possibly unleashed something horrible, something that he truly didn't think the Digi-destined could defeat, not to mention the deaths of the people that were in those blocks that just went up in a blast of energy. He clenched his fists and bit his lip. It was truly his fault and he should have known better.
"Something is coming," said Silphymon without opening its eyes. The digimon unfolded from its zazen position and stood. What stars survived the light pollution of Tokyo were silently being eclipsed by a force of massive darkness. A chill ran through the assembled group's spines.
A cloud of darkness swirled quietly around as it descended from the roof tops of the houses that surrounded them. The cloud touched down and, like a great cape unfurling, it swept aside to reveal a boy.
"K-Kuro…" Sora gave out a soft whimper. She ran to the boy.
"NO! DON'T!" Gennai leapt forward but it was too late. Sora had the boy in a tight embrace. The boy looked over the woman's shoulder at Gennai and revealed a toothy grin.
"Oh mother…" purred the boy in a dark but gentle voice. "How I missed you…"
Sora drew back. "Kuro…"
Faster than she could speak the boy had a tight, vice like grip around her neck. Sora gurgled in surprise. Silphymon drew its claws but the boy tsked and his grip tightened eliciting a soft whimper from Sora. "I wouldn't do that Silphymon, I may…accidentally crush her wind pipe…and that would be a quite a pity…"
Silphymon growled. Its claws flexed and crackled releasing the joint tension in the fingers. Suddenly Imperialdramon in his humanoid Fighter Mode and Kabuterimon flew over. Davis and Ken were riding the large dragon. Matt, Izzy and Gabumon were riding the monstrous insect.
"SORA!!!" Matt reached down.
"Do not worry, father," Kuro smirked, "I want to have fun before I slaughter your closest friends and family."
"You leave her be!" shouted Davis as the dragon touched down behind the digi-destined.
"Oh this again," Kuro flicked his eyes upwards. Kabuterimon lost control and started to crash towards the Takeru, Kari and Yolei.
"No!" shouted Matt, Gabumon and Izzy as they were flung from the great insect. In a flurry of movement and muscle Silphymon caught Kabuterimon and strenuously directed him to a safer crash zone. Imperialdramon flew up and grabbed Matt, Gabumon and Izzy.
Kuro released a bored sigh and tossed Sora like a rag doll into Takeru, Kari and Yolei flattening the three of them under the woman. Large claw like abrasions were on Sora's neck.
"You shouldn't have done that," growled Silphymon. "You gave up your shield!" The cyborg shot forward its claws glowing deep crimson. "Static Forces!" Kuro put up his hand and Silphymon was sent spiraling backwards into a building.
"I don't need a shield," smirked Kuro.
"What happened to my son?" coughed Sora as she gasped for precious breath.
"That crest Gennai gave him…" growled Matt. He shot a look at the sage. "Had this beast in it!"
Kuro turned and looked at the sage. The man in long grayish brown robes paled slightly. "So this is what Gennai has done to himself…? Long time no see…"
"I had wished it to be a longer time with a whole lot less seeing," grumbled Gennai.
"I see, that's why you alone held the Crest of Darkness," chuckled Kuro. He walked forward.
Silphymon was anticipating another strike and dove in front of Gennai. "Go no further!"
"Silly bird man…courage is for the brave!" Suddenly Kuro was in front of Silphymon, "Not for Light, Sincerity and Love…" Kuro grabbed Silphymon by the chest. The digimon was so surprised that it didn't even struggle. "Let's see; what should I do to you….?" An evil smirk came over his face. "The older ones will appreciate this more than you young sprouts." He looked at Yolei, Ken and Davis.
"WHO YOU CALLING YOUNG, KID!?" shouted Yolei. The other humans sighed. Yolei blinked, "God, I'd never thought I'd be saying that in an offended tone…" The humans sighed again.
"Reverse Digivolution!" the older digi-destined gaped. Silphymon burst in two. Salamon and Poromon appeared in the clutches of Kuro. "Oh how fun…" He concentrated. "Reverse Digivolution!" The brown and grey puppy kitten, Salamon, turned into Nyaromon a yellow feline like digimon that was nothing but a head and a tail and Poromon, the pink In Training form of Hawkmon; who was nothing more than a fluff ball of feathers with wings and a single hawk feather in the back of its head, turned into Pururumon, which was nothing but a pink bit of gelatin with a beak. Kuro tossed the baby digimon at Yolei forcing the human to dive to catch the fragile gelatin like digimon. He held Nyaromon up by the tail. "Reverse Digivolution!" Nyaromon squealed as she was submitted to another dose of dark energy reversing her to Yukimi Botamon. The snowy little bobble of fluff was two round ears and large coal eyes. Kuro smirked, "I could destroy you now, little one, and never have to worry about Silphymon ruining my fun…"
"You wouldn't DARE!" Davis had leapt down and was now marching towards Kuro. "All you need is a little time over my knee, little boy!"
"Davis…" Gennai started.
"I'll pound some sense into you!" shouted Davis as he marched passed the others.
"Davis!" Gennai said a bit louder.
"You aren't going to be sitting for a week!" shouted Davis as he reached out to grab Kuro.
"DAV…oh forget it…" Gennai looked away as Kuro grabbed Davis's hand and threw him into Imperialdramon with such force that the Mega was forced to wince a bit. The human was writhing in pain and Ken was instantly at his friend's side.
"Are you ok?" Ken asked in his calm tone.
"Is full body numbness accompanied by the inability to move my arms and legs a good thing?" whispered Davis in a stunned voice and gave a corny smile.
"Umm…" Ken blanched a little and a little sweat drop fell down his temple, "I don't think so…"
Kuro held up Yukimi Botamon and then dropped the digimon on the ground causing it to instantly start crying. He lifted his foot.
"NO!" Gennai leapt forward and pushed Kuro backwards knocking the boy on his butt. "You…beast…"
"You fool!" returned Kuro as he placed the flat of his hand on Gennai's chest. "Reverse…Digivolution!" Darkness filled Gennai. The young man screamed in agony.
"This can't be happening," muttered Izzy. "Gennai isn't a digimon; he lacks attributes or techniques!"
"But," growled Kuro as he threw the limp form to the ground, "He is made of information and he's configured that information, digivolution is the same process only taken to more extreme measures,"
The group of humans looked at what happened to Gennai. The man they had gotten used to being young and virile was now older and more decrepit than he was when they first met him. He was now short. His short brown hair was now long and grey and shedding like the fur of a Persian cat. His face was wrinkled and his eyes lacked the spirit they had. Kuro laughed heartily as the old man struggled to rise to his feet, but the long grey robes he was wearing were now several feet too long for his form and he fell on his face.
"You must get rid of Damienmon! His power rivals that of Lucemon!" growled Gennai as he tried to stand but Kuro walked up to the old man and kicked him in the sternum. The old man whimpered as he sank to the ground. The old man knew one of his lungs was punctured and in his decrepit state he hadn't the fortitude to persevere without a drastic action. Pellets of blood flicked from his mouth. His grey eyes looked up at the humans, "Give Oikawa my regards…I have a feeling I'll have to have him watch my house for a while…" The old man's eyes closed and he disappeared in a grey smoke.
"GENNAI!" Kari shouted and her eyes turned to Damienmon. "You try to kill my partner and then you killed one of our oldest and dearest friends!" Kari's D-3 started to quake with aggression. She instinctually ripped it from her hip and held it up. "You are a foul being! You are worse than Daemon, MaloMyotismon and Piedmon put together!"
Kuro gave a smirk. "Why thank you…"
"You monster!" Suddenly her finger struck a button on the D-3 and an indescribable blast of light was released. It illuminated the sky; completely dwarfing the normal light pollution of Tokyo.
Kuro screamed in agony as the light burned at his flesh. He growled and swept at it with his claws. He couldn't fight it; it was too much too soon. He had to retreat. Using the light as cover he staggered off down the street.
Kari collapsed on her knees and dropped her D-3. She looked weakly at Yukimi Botamon and reached out and softly grasped the digimon. She whispered quietly. "I'm so sorry…so sorry I couldn't stop him…sooner…"

"Terra Force!" The orange orb flew freely at a metal ape. When WarGreymon had arrived the tides seemed to have turned. Tai had said that as soon as he had finished with the paper work in D.C. he had heard the news in New York and was determined to help Mimi, fortunately with the travel lockdown the interstates and freeways were clear for what Tai had termed, 'haul ass Punch it Martha' driving. Now WarGreymon was fighting Metamormon alone. The Mega Digimon said this was going to be like a lumberjack match. Tai had sighed at the use of the pro wrestling term. WarGreymon had instructed the Champions to act as lumberjacks so that he could ensure that there would be no interference and that Metamormon would not try to flee.
WarGreymon had engaged Metamormon when he was in Piedmon's form, but Metamormon had soon grown tired of terrifying the humans as Piedmon. It seemed that WarGreymon was no longer afraid of the clown, which was a pity because Metamormon enjoyed that body. He had recently turned into Metal Etemon.
"Banana Split!" growled the digimon as he pointed a Chrome Digizoid finger at WarGreymon unleashing a blast of black lightning at the dinosaur warrior. WarGreymon swerved around the blast letting it slice through the dark morning sky.
"Is that the best you can muster?" growled golden armored digimon as he shot forward his claws bared.
"Oh I suppose I have a few more tricks up my sleeve!" chuckled Metamormon as he shifted from the visage of Metal Etemon to that of something that struck true horror in WarGreymon. Metamormon smiled evilly, "What's wrong WarGreymon, a little afraid?"
The dragon warrior immediately shot backwards in retreat. He was not afraid of Piedmon because the clown, though obviously the most powerful of the Dark Masters, did not have the one ability that truly scared WarGreymon. The Mega Digimon was not afraid of death, the only thing that Piedmon could possibly offer, but he was afraid of losing control, whether that came in the form of Skull Greymon or what he now was facing it didn't matter, because he knew of his destructive powers and truly feared what would happen if he was to lose control those powers as a Mega Digimon. He looked up in the cold wooden eyes of Metamormon in his new form. Metamormon lifted his wooden hands up and smirked.
Metamormon reached up and grabbed the large mallet that was attached to the cross bars on his back and looked down at WarGreymon. "How about a little game? I call it…Simon Says!" With his right hand he shot thousands of threads at WarGreymon. The dragon roared as he struggled. Metamormon frowned. It hadn't been as easy as he had thought to restrain the Mega. He growled and re-hitched the hammer onto his back and opened his other hand and fired more threads forward.
"WarGreymon!" Taichi screamed as he watched his partner turn jerkily around.
"Simon Says…" giggled the puppet-like form of Metamormon. "Destroy Taichi Kamaiya, with your trademark attack, Terra Force!" WarGreymon whimpered as his arms raised and a ball of orange energy spun into existence.
"Tai…run…" growled WarGreymon. He looked down soulfully at the digi-destined assembled in the street below, "You must all run…I can't hold him back much longer…"
The humans looked up in surprise. Most of them had by now taken WarGreymon's warning seriously and ran for it. The only ones left were Tai, Samuel and Mimi. Tanemon and Floramon were looking up at WarGreymon. Samuel was truly afraid of the beast he saw in the sky. The blazing inferno it had in its hands was now easily felt as the waves of heat washed forward.
"We aren't leaving you!" shouted Tanemon. "I believe in you, WarGreymon, you can beat this little imposter!"
"I can't!" retorted the strained voice of WarGreymon as his arm muscles started to buckle under Metamormon's influence. "Puppetmon's abilities were always too strong for me to fight on my own!"
"Look I don't know you, but if you let that thing that calls itself a respectable digimon beat you, then I have a real hard time believing you beat the Dark Masters and held off Black WarGreymon," shouted Floramon.
"Come on big guy!" shouted Tai. He was looking at WarGreymon with a lot of confidence, "We've beaten bigger fry than this! And you aren't alone you have us!"
"I know you can do it!" shouted Mimi. "You just have to fight it!"
The next thing they knew the ball was released. Floramon gulped hard. "I guess he couldn't do it…"

AN: Thanks to Lodis Lord, yes I guess I do post fast. I am about six chapters ahead of you guys, and I actually shoot for about four to six pages a chapter, single spaced, though as you can see with this chapter I over shot, and I have noticed that these chapters are getting longer, I can usually finish a chapter off in a day or three, depends on my motivation and business! Like I finished writing Chapter 24 tonight, which is usually how it happens. My other story, hehe, yes well quite. I'll probably re-read it a few times, and then I read these through usually right before posting, at that point it's been a few days since I've written it so I can pick out some crappishness, though I don't always get it.
