I don't own Digimon
Sacrifices and Miracles, the Dragon Paladin Rises

"Agumon Warp Digivolve to WarGreymon!" the golden armored dragon warrior shot up through the buildings. The golden comet flashed over the bay and turned around, moving towards the leviathan that was bearing down on Imperialdramon. "Grand Tornado!" a spinning golden dragon struck the squidly beast. The beast groaned and staggered to the side WarGreymon glided backwards, "Sorry I put you through the spin cycle, Tai…"
"It's ok buddy, I always wanted to see the world do a run around me," murmured Tai as his eyes swirled. WarGreymon put the man down on the sand and instantly ran to Imperialdramon.
"Are you ok?" WarGreymon asked quietly.
"I'll be fine, just need a breather," grumbled the dragon as he stood.
"Metal Wolf Claw!" howled Metal Garurumon as missiles shot forward at a charging bay beast.
"Right, breather is over…" Imperialdramon opened his wings. He lifted his arm. "Here goes something. Positron Laser!" pulses of energy flew forward. They struck Cthulhumon's face and head.
WarGreymon flew up into the sky. He lifted his hands up and a huge ball formed in his hands. "Terra Force!" the sphere shot forward crashing into the beast.
Cthulhumon lifted his trident. "Ancient Trident Crush!" cerulean lightning raged forward. WarGreymon growled in pain as the lightning slapped him around.
"He's too strong!" growled WarGreymon as he crashed to the ground next to Taichi.
"Don't worry," Tai took out his D-Terminal, "Matt, are you ready to try a little meeting of the minds?"
"Sure," returned a quick reply.
"WarGreymon, go for it!" called Tai as Metal Garurumon moved towards them.
"Right, are you ready, Metal Garurumon?" WarGreymon took flight.
"Ready when you are!" replied the wolf. The two Megas glowed brightly, and merged.
"Metal Garurumon and WarGreymon Fusion Digivolve to Omnimon!" A caped knight with his right hand like Metal Garurumon's head and his left like WarGreymon's head shot out of the glow. He was adorned in white armor that clung tightly to his thin form. A huge sword with digi-code slashed from WarGreymon's head. A cannon shot out of Metal Garurumon's head.
"What is this?" growled Cthulhumon. He growled softly and lifted his trident. "Storm of the Great Ones!" black lightning snapped into Omnimon's chest.
The fused digimon growled. He swept his sword around and pointed it at Cthulhumon. "Transcendent Sword!" Omnimon returned Cthulhumon's favor by sending a blast of white lightning at the beast.
Cthulhumon growled and flashed his trident up. "Ocean Nightmare!" the black eels rose up around Omnimon and swept around him curling up into a ball.
"Giga Death!" Imperialdramon swept around blasting Cthulhumon. The firestorm unleashed shook the Rainbow Bridge.
"Supreme Cannon!" the black ball of nightmare eels ruptured under a purple blast. The white knight swept around and lifted his sword. The digi-code burned brightly and Omnimon dove down. "Transcendent Sword!"
Cthulhumon roared in pain as he staggered backwards and was enveloped in the blast. Imperialdramon glided over. The water was sloshing and foaming.
"Did we get him?" Imperialdramon looked to Omnimon. The knight's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I do not know," stated Omnimon bluntly. He lifted the Garurumon head.
Cerulean lightning erupted out of the water. They struck Omnimon in the stomach. The knight growled bowing slightly to the attack as another burst of cerulean shot up snapping the fused Mega's head back. Omnimon flew backwards and crashed on the Odaiba side of the bay. Imperialdramon flew over to Omnimon.
"He's too strong for us," growled Omnimon the knight looked up. "He's got the power of the Dark Ocean in him, he seems impervious."
"Then maybe it's time," replied Imperialdramon. "I may be able to pierce him if he is made of the Dark Ocean."
Omnimon closed his eyes. A golden light washed over him. The two heads on his hands fizzled down to Agumon and Gabumon. A spinning ring rose up. It elongated turning into a hilt and a blade. The ring made most of the hilt and Imperialdramon grasped it. The remaining energy rushed the dragon.
"Imperialdramon, Mode change to," bluish white, feathered wings spread open. The fighter mode's armor blazed white. There was a shockwave of energy that resulted from the massive mode change, "Paladin Mode!"
Cthulhumon shot out of the water his webbed wings flapping hard. "Ocean Nightmare!"
Imperialdramon turned slowly. The glowing light of the dragon's pearlescent armor eviscerated the black energy eels. Cthulhumon roared and charged with his trident bared down. The dragon warrior swept his sword up. As the Shadow Trident vied with the Omega Sword cracks snapped up the staff of the large pitch fork. Imperialdramon pushed and the trident shattered.
"You have no place here, Lord of the Dark Ocean," Imperialdramon said in a loud voice. "Return from whence you came!"
"I am here to claim my reward from my lord and master, Damienmon, you shall not interfere!" growled the squid. Cthulhumon loomed over the dragon. The Great One out sized Imperialdramon but the dragon warrior would not be intimidated. Imperialdramon lifted his sword.
"You were given your chance," replied the dragon. The blade was enveloped by golden streams of energy. Cthulhumon growled and reached for the sword preparing to strike it from the irritable dragon's hand. As his skin touched the blade though, his skin peeled away. The blade cut him instantly. Cthulhumon roared and reared back. "Now you fall, foul beast! OMEGA SWORD!" Imperialdramon dove forward swiping the sword across Cthulhumon's chest. A dome of light rushed forward. Cthulhumon shrieked as the Dark Ocean energy was stripped from his body and then his own viral code was shredded and sliced from his form. Soon there was nothing left but a phantom and then even that evaporated to nothing. Imperialdramon flew down and picked up Agumon, Gabumon and Tai. He then crossed the bay.
"Woah, I never thought we'd see you like this again, Imperialdramon," called up Davis as he looked up at the glowing dragon.
"Well, when the world is in danger we all have to do things we're not expecting," said Imperialdramon as he touched down. "We got rid of the thing in the ocean, but Daemon is still here!" A low growl escaped Imperialdramon's lips.
"Tai…I can't move, too tired," whispered Agumon. The little dinosaur was laid out on the ground. Gabumon was next to him.
"But Daemon…" Taichi looked down at the two digimon.
"Tai, we've been fighting for a little more than a week straight with very little food and almost no sleep," Yamato's hand laid on Tai's. Matt looked to Davis and Ken, "Can you guys handle Daemon on your own?"
Ken looked up at the white and blue dragon, "Well? Can you?"
"We're as ready as we'll ever be!" announced the dragon.
"Right, then you guys get to Daemon, we'll rest up here and meet you later," said Matt. He sat down next to Gabumon.
"If you guys see Lucemon, you run!" said Taichi coldly.
"If? What do you mean; is Lucemon…?" Ken looked into Tai's brown eyes. It was all the answer he needed.
"If we see Lucemon; we'll take him down!" said Davis loudly.
"No, you won't!" shouted Taichi. Davis looked up in surprise, "He's too strong. If we fight him, he'll only grow in power."
"Ok," Ken spoke up. Davis flashed a scowl at Ken. The detective put his fingers on Davis's lips, "Tai evidently knows something we don't; we should just take his word for it. We won't fight Lucemon; we'll just retreat if he shows up."
Davis let out a soft growl and folded his arms as Imperialdramon lifted them. "This royally sucks," Tai heard Davis say.
"Just worry about Daemon," said Imperialdramon as he glided off to the west.
"So…" Tai looked at Yamato quietly. "How are things?"
Matt shook his head and gave a quirked smile. His smile quickly faded though, "Kuro has been taken…we don't know where he is, and we don't know what he is doing."
"What do you mean?" Tai walked closer to his friend.
"Well, it all started earlier this week when Gennai came here…" started Matt quietly.

"Magna Blast!" Magnamon shot past releasing a golden burst of energy into Daemon. The demon growled and swept around.
The beetle appeared in front of his face. "Hey, big boy…" The beetle swept his arms forward; the maraca-like objects in his hand glowed brightly and he stabbed them forward. "Vajra!" Daemon growled as he was sent stumbling back.
"Iron Press!" something rammed Daemon in the back.
The demon lord was getting annoyed. He would not be taken down by three Armored digimon, even if they had the combined powers of the Miracles of Mercy, Light and Hope he would not fall! Daemon shot into the air.
The city shrunk below him. Three golden lights were rocketing towards him. His poor, battered cloak shifted in the upper level winds. The icy winds swept around his wings. His blue eyes flashed a poisonous red color. Something in him was snapping. He could feel his rage at these impertinent fools. They actually thought that they could rival his strength when they had not seen his true power. He would not let keep their pride, and when he was done, he'd leave the Chosen Ones alive for a while anyways; the question was which he would destroy first, the humans or their digimon. The first gold burst was arriving.
"CHAOS FLARE!" Daemon slapped the golden abomination down like a whack a mole.
MailDramon shot past Magnamon and Kongoumon as the large metal dragon fell through the air, ensnared in demonic flames.
"I think he's done playing," said Kongoumon as he started to zigzag past burst of flames.
"We'll get him," said Magnamon as he pushed forward. A cone of golden light wrapped around him.
"What the heck are you going to do?" asked Kongoumon as Magnamon flew forward.
"Magna Rocket!" the golden streak of energy that was Magnamon now slammed head first into Daemon's stomach. It was harder than Magnamon remembered. He shuddered, feeling a darkness overwhelming him. A fist slammed down on his back like a sledge hammer. Magnamon heard his armor crack. The next thing he knew his body was tumbling through the cold atmosphere towards a quickly spiraling terra firma. Something dark flashed past him. It exploded through one of the business offices of Chiyoda. Magnamon crashed into the street and groaned. There was a foot on his back.
"Foolish little Armored digimon, did you really think you could win?" growled Daemon; accusation bleeding from his throat. "You are an impotent little insect compared to me." A hand grasped Magnamon's head.
"We won't give in to you, Daemon," growled Magnamon. His hands weakly grasped at, furry arms. Magnamon's head was swimming. "Why am I feeling fur?"
He didn't have time to think as his head started to feel warm. Daemon's voice seemed more bestial as the monster laughed. "Chaos Flare!"
Magnamon screamed as he was tossed down the street. Kongoumon shot forward but the hairy bat monkey dismissed the beetle with a flick of his muscular arm. MailDramon fired bolt after bolt of miraculous spears of energy at the beast but the huge winged gorilla turned and throttled the dragon until it went limp and then tossed it away.
The chipteran primate chuckled evilly as he took steps towards Kongoumon. He lifted a finger and it glowed with a malevolent purple flame. "Let's finish what we were doing, when you interrupted me!"
"Magna Blast!" golden radiance slammed into the ape's bared chest. The beast growled in aggravation. Magnamon was standing shakily. His helmet was burned and cracked. His armor had little fissures and breaches snaking around his chest and arms. "I told you, we will not give up!" Behind Magnamon were the digi-destined.
Daemon sneered angrily, "You can not hurt me!" Then he looked up further. Behind the digi-destined was something that made the beast blink, a huge, white armored dragon. He narrowed his eyes. There were two humans on his shoulders.
"Ichijouji," growled Daemon recognizing the one, "Motomiya." Daemon revealed the identity of the other human.
"Don't I get named?" pouted the dragon as he lowered the humans down. "I can't believe you forgot about me, Daemon." The dragon glided in front of the digi-destined. He landed next to Magnamon and looked down. "My, what a flash from the past," The dragon chuckled.
The golden warrior looked up. A weak glint of happiness flashed in its worn eyes. "Let's put this monkey in its place."
Imperialdramon nodded. He lifted his hand and the cannon on it glowed into life. "Positron Laser!" Daemon growled as his chest was assaulted. The monkey dropped back and Magnamon leapt forward and helped Kongoumon up.
"Kongoumon, go find MailDramon," whispered Magnamon as he stood up straight. His hands glowed softly. "I'll help Imperialdramon keep the monkey busy; you go find MailDramon help her get back here." Magnamon then glided off slowly. Kongoumon burst off on his search for MailDramon.

"Positron Laser!" another blast struck Daemon in the chest. The fully exposed ape growled in aggravation.
"Fool, your play things will not harm me!" growled the large, winged gorilla. He flashed his fist forward. "Chaos Flare!" Imperialdramon took flight avoiding the blast. He pushed his fist forward again unleashing a volley of laser bursts into Daemon.
"Magna Burst!" golden explosion erupted in the demon's back. Magnamon had swung around behind Daemon was zooming low over the pavement and then dove up close behind Daemon unleashing energy bolts into the demon's back. The golden bobble of light launched into the air out of Daemon's reach. It reached a zenith point and then bombed downward. "Magna Rocket!"
"Magna Rocket?" Imperialdramon's ExVeemon's voice questioned.
"What?" asked the voice of Stingmon.
"Nothing, just that that's a new attack," said ExVeemon in replied. "Kind of reminds me of Fire Rocket…man how I miss my digi-mental digivolutions…."
"Flame Inferno!" a wave of black fire slashed past Imperialdramon as a comet of gold shot past his head. The dragon looked down to find Daemon rubbing its head in anger and belching out flames towards Magnamon.
"Gotta give him points for having spunk," chuckled Imperialdramon as he opened his chest armor.
"Wait!" Magnamon appeared at his shoulder, "If you hit him with that, you'll destroy everything in the area."
Daemon took his chance with the little disturbance and flapped his wings. Waves of dark energy slammed into Imperialdramon and Magnamon like tsunamis. The dragon crashed down to the ground. Magnamon clanked against the dragon's armor. The chest plate of Magnamon shattered. Golden flesh glowed softly; the radiance over its heart searing the dark sky. Magnamon stood up and took off.
"What are you doing?" growled Imperialdramon.
"Vajra!" spitfire bursts of energy flickered over the back of Daemon.
"Miracle Spear!" a rod of golden light attempted to pierce the beast's flesh. A golden armored dragon glided over the beast's head behind a golden beetle. The two new miraculous digimon moved next to Magnamon.
"Daemon, your actions against humanity and digimon are branded in history as some of the most atrocious." The three digimon spoke with one voice. "Your attempts to take over the digital and human worlds have wrecked havoc on all; you have attempted corruption, lies and brute force. You have murdered many in the name of ambition. You will not be allowed to stand, you agent of evil. Do you have any final words before we destroy you?"
"You can not destroy me, already I have nearly deleted you and I only grow more powerful whilst you weaken!" retorted the ape angrily. "Your impotent threats do not frighten me."
Imperialdramon was also curious as to the way these three golden armor digimon had acted. They couldn't have the power between the three of them to put away Daemon, especially now.
"We have more than enough strength to put you away," replied the three digimon in unison. "You are indeed strong, but the power we possess will not be drowned by your evil!"
"Then drown in FIRE!" roared the ape as he unleashed a huge wash of fire. The three armored digimon looked up in surprise as the crimson flames engulfed them. The three of them screamed as their skin sizzled in the flames. "Foolish impudent, knaves. They thought they could really stand against me!"
"We're not done yet…" whispered a voice. Hanging in the ashy air were three figures, one was holding the other two up. He was Magnamon. His eyes were glowing weakly with a soft gold gleam, "We're not going quietly into the night…" Imperialdramon gasped as the three digimon glowed with an unnatural golden light. Magnamon looked up at the dragon. He then looked down at Kin and the others, "Don't worry, the light will win in the end," Magnamon winced and turned to Imperialdramon. "Draw your blade." The dragon was shocked by the demand and was compelled to draw the Omega Sword. Magnamon looked down at his partner and his sisters, "Do not feel bad, we have not failed, we only were victorious in an unconventional way, please forgive me for my decision…" The three golden digimon turned into pure golden energy and merged into a single stream of light that enveloped Imperialdramon's sword. "Strike now," whispered Magnamon's voice, "This will ensure Daemon's full destruction, he will never be able to be reconstituted in any way."
Imperialdramon looked down at Daemon. The beast was sneering and lifted his paws to unleash another blast of flame. The dragon sliced the blast into oblivion and then dove forward. The Omega Sword raged through Daemon's stomach and burned its way up through the beast's chest. Golden light filled Daemon and the monster roared in pain as his body was burned from the inside out.
Imperialdramon pushed the remains of Daemon from his sword. The ash exploded into a fine dust and the wind swept it way. Imperialdramon staggered backwards. A wave of weakness filled him. He looked up.
"Interesting," said a cold voice. The sky behind the voice was in an uproar. The heavens themselves were revolting against the existence of the being in the sky. Crimson lightning strikes scratched the sky like large tiger claws.
The fallen angel of light hovered in the air above Imperialdramon. His body was numb. He couldn't feel the sword in his hand. His wings felt like cement blocks. It was like the gaze of the angel was covering him in prehistoric tar.
"Imperialdramon!" Davis's voice screamed as the man pushed angrily through the crowd. Ken was seconds behind him. "Don't give up!"
"Davis, wait!" shouted Ken. He stopped and turned to the other Digi-destined, "RUN FOR IT! Get as far as you can from here, retreat and run, don't stand here, go!"
"But…" Takeru and the other chosen ones looked at Ken.
"GO!" shouted the detective with authority.
Davis was at Imperialdramon's left leg. "You can do it Imperialdramon, don't give up, don't let him psyche you out."
"He is so strong, can't you feel it?" whimpered Imperialdramon. "It's like nothing we've faced before. He's more than a force of nature…he's like a force of celestial plane. He even rivals the power of Azulongmon. I-I can't move…"
"You can't be afraid of him, you can't let fear take control!" shouted Davis. Ken was behind him and was trying to grab him under the arms. Davis fought Ken, shrugging and pushing him away but Ken would not be deterred and grabbed at Davis again. The noodle king growled in aggravation and Cole cocked Ken with a fist to the detective's cheek bone. "Let go, I'm not leaving Imperialdramon! I'm not letting you give up!"
"Davis, he's so powerful, can't you feel that in the air, it's like air is filled with static electricity," whispered Ken as he stood behind Davis. "We don't stand a chance…"
The Omega sword glowed and dispersed into two bursts of energy that shot eastward. The white armor of Imperialdramon's Paladin Mode faded to black and his white wings changed to crimson ones. Imperialdramon groaned under Lucemon's glare and he changed again into the wide bodied dragon form.
"Imperialdramon!" Davis latched onto the dragon's leg but it glowed again. Davis opened his eyes to find he was clutching Paildramon's midriff and the dragon was kneeling on the ground.
Lucemon smirked and slightly widened his eyes. Paildramon fell on his back splitting into ExVeemon and Stingmon which quickly drained down into DemiVeemon and Minomon. Davis looked down at the two digimon and shakily lifted DemiVeemon.
"Are you ok, buddy?" whispered Davis as he hugged the little creature.
"So, strong," whimpered DemiVeemon. "We can't stay here, he's so strong…"
Ken snagged Davis under his arm and dragged him away.
"Is everyone ok?" shouted Ken as he looked around. The mass of humans and digimon were backing away from the fallen angel. He is gaze glared down at them. Ken was feeling uneasy, "Why isn't he striking, he could destroy us all in one fell swoop."
"We aren't worth his attention," whimpered Minomon as he tried to hide in Ken's jacket.

The digi-port opened and group of digimon and humans crashed in a pile. The boy on the bottom groaned softly as the others scrambled off of him.
"I think I understand why dad was wary of digi-ports," whimpered the boy as a Veemon wiggled from under him.
"No kidding," whispered the blue dragon.
"Kougi, it wasn't so bad," said Kiyoshi with a smile.
"Yeah, this from the guy that was on top," grumbled the wild haired, brunette as he helped a red Agumon up. "Are you ok, Hiroshi?"
The dark haired boy stood and patted himself down and then lifted a FanBeemon, "Yep."
"Right so what are we supposed to do now?" asked Kiyoshi as he looked around.
"Helping them might be a start…" Hiroshi pointed out of the port station. A group of digi-destined was standing in the street. A large black and grey porcupine was firing quills at a large goat beast.
A large white gorilla was firing blasts into the large beast but the creature only growled and unleashed a cloud of darkness.
"Then we have to go!" shouted Kiyoshi and he ran forward.
