I don't Own Digimon
The Second Cruelty of Lucemon
888
He saw them coming, the eight Mega Digimon and then the other minions of the digi-destined. He flicked his wings and glided slowly from the fiery carnage of Odaiba. He was half way across the bay when the first blasts of energy sallied forth.
He chuckled softly, partially because he was enjoying the fear in the digimons' eyes as their attacks pelted him uselessly on his hard, scaled body and partially because he liked the sound of his new lower, draconic voice. The Mega digimon were wheeling back for a second go. He would strike now, show them his true power.
"Divine ATONEMENT!" he roared loudly as the golden mask visor over his eyes shimmered to life and the round, covers of his eyes pulsed with energy and two orange beams of energy slashed through the ranks of Megas. The Chosen digimon were agile though and escaped the beam but the buildings beyond them were struck.
The beam lanced through several buildings. Those structures touched by the beam were surrounded by an orange aura, whose surface was covered in digi-code matrices, and slowly crumbled to salt.
The fusion digimon, Omnimon was flying forward with his dreaded Transcendent Sword brandished. The holy blade slashed forward but it could not cut his flesh. Lucemon held the dark sphere with on clawed hand and swiped at the knight with the other knocking him away like a gnat or a flea.
He knew what was in the dark sphere. The dark swirls of miasma and energy contained a very annoying insect, but it would not escape and it would not be allowed to mar his victory.
He could see the humans now. He smiled a toothy grin and growled. He had a plan. They would not live, and their partners would be powerless against him. It was perfect. Nothing could impede his will.
Spitfire laser bolts flickered along his armored body. He growled at the irritant little fools, those dragons. A line of arrows rained down on his head and he turned to find an avian warrior flying towards him with a sword drawn. Behind the warrior was the sword baring wasp and behind him were a huge mechanical digimon and a smaller digimon with a crimson blade unsheathed from his arm. A golden dragon was rising up from underneath him its six wings folded tightly against his body. Lucemon growled as the Imperialdramon that had done so much harm in Diggers' Gulch was charging forward. Its maw was wide open and an energy bauble was prepared to launch.
"Fenrir Sword!" shouted the avian warrior as a twisting column of ice and fire raged forward
"Double Royal Master!" the wasp slashed its twin swords releasing a wave of flames.
"Gargo Missile!" crimson projectiles jetted forward smiling stupidly at Lucemon. One of the missiles carried the grey cyborg with the energy sword.
"Voltage BLADE!" As the missile came close the cyborg leapt and tried to slash through Lucemon's scaled armor.
"God Flame!" golden flames ran along Lucemon's underside as the golden dragon flew by.
"Mega Death!" the Imperialdramon's bauble flew. The other Mega digimon retreated as the bobble made contact with the lavender scales of Lucemon. The bauble bloomed into a giant cloud of energy.
"Giga Death!" The second Imperialdramon flew up and the large energy cannon hidden in his chest cavity extended forward firing another blast that ballooned into a larger cloud.
"Supreme Cannon!" Finally Omnimon fired the cannon that was lodged in the head of the Metal Garurumon that the fused digimon was comprised of.

Omnimon's eyes widened. Lucemon was flying forward unhindered. Small scuffs were seen on his scales but that was only cosmetic damage. The knight could hear the soft growls coming from the lavender dragon as it drew closer.
"Tide of Despair!" The massive lavender dragon opened its cavernous mouth. Maroon flames rushed forward engulfing the destined Digimon. The dragon proceeded forward watching the digimon fall to the bay like spent paper planes. "Fools, will you not learn that all resistance against me is futile! I can not be defeated by you mere mortal beings!"
"Then be defeated by the immortal!" There was a flash of light as a huge digi-port opened in the sky. "LIGHTNING WHIP!" a ribbon of azure lightning flashed down slapping the purple dragon's face. A long blue dragon exited the port and filled the skies of Tokyo.
"Blazing Helix!" twisting inter-meshing columns of crimson and orange flames shot down as a large four winged phoenix dove down warping the air with the intense heat of its body.
"VAJRA!" a comet of light followed by the loud roar of a tiger erupted from the port as a purple and white tiger leapt down and stood stoically on a cloud bank.
"Black Hail!" black drops of energy crashed down on Lucemon like walnuts from a tree as a twin headed turtle entered the scene.
"The Harmonious Ones…" Lucemon growled quietly. He looked up to see the four mighty beasts. "It is even too late for your intervention!"
"We'll see if it is too late!" growled the phoenix as it opened its mouth, "Phoenix Fire!" the pulse of condensed flame rocketed down towards the dragon. Lucemon flicked one of his twelve diverting the flames into the bay.
"Ingrates, you can't harm me," growled Lucemon as he opened his mouth, "Here's some real fire power! TIDE OF DESPAIR!" Maroon flames engulfed the four Harmonious Ones.
"Mach Stinger V!" Lucemon's body was peppered by small missiles as an orange and black figure zipped past his head.
"Justice Burst!" lavender orbs crashed into the dragon's side as a large violet skinned and azure winged dragon erupted from the water of the bay.
"Positron Laser!" a bolt of light slapped Lucemon's face guard as the dragon flew past. The small cyborg on the dragon's back leapt forward landing on Lucemon's head.
"THUNDER CLAP!" something crashed down on Lucemon's head, exploding. The twelve winged dragon roared in irritation.
"Summon!" blue and red dragons flashed forward trying to cut through his scales.
Suddenly from the depths of the bay came a huge flash. A large white dragon broke the surface in his hands were an Agumon and a Gabumon. He flew to the mainland and put the two rookies down.
"Lightning Arrow!" Lucemon growled again as small sparks of lightning pricked up and down his neck as the avian warrior was flying past.
"Mega Barrage!" thousands of explosions erupted around Lucemon as the large mechanical digimon, Black MegaGargomon rose out of the water
Suddenly, the other digimon were attacking. Like barely noticeable breaths of air the attacks of countless Champions made contact with his hard scales.
"Harpoon Torpedo!" green missiles rocketed forward from a large white walrus.
"Electro Shocker!" orbs of electrical charge pelted the skin of Lucemon.
"Meteor Wing!" A flash of crimson rained down on the dragon's head.
"Tobu Tobu Phoenix!" an orange bird apparition charged forward evaporating into Lucemon's chest.
"Strike Claw!" a pulse of blue bounced into Lucemon's cheek.
"Fire Rocket!" three large fire balls struck out at Lucemon
"Thunder Blast!" a stream of lightning lanced its way up Lucemon's chin.
"Gordian Knot!" slashes plinked off the dragon's risen wings.
"Raven Blades!" a black tengu flashed past Lucemon's eyesight and he growled softly.
"Static Forces!" the annoying Silphymon flashed by relentlessly unleashing its crimson energy blast.
"Justice Beam!" two crimson bursts flashed from the shore as the clay digimon released its attack.
"Flower Cannon!" a pink fairy whirred up firing bursts of green energy at the dragon.
"Aurora Forces!" a stream of rainbow colors separated the flames from Lucemon as the Harmonious Ones charged forward.
"Sonic Zephyr!" the turbine on the back of the phoenix roared to life firing a blast of crimson light forward that slammed Lucemon's head.
"Phantom Mist!" a shadow erupted from the twin headed turtle that seemed to engulf Lucemon and then erupted in a dark flame.
"Iron Claws!" The white tiger pounced on the thrashing dragon digging its claws into Lucemon's back.
The hand like claws on the end of Lucemon's tail flashed up and grabbed the tiger tossing him into the burning remains of Odaiba. Lucemon looked up at the last digimon to attack. The white armored Imperialdramon. The dragon was slowly approaching. His claw pressed against the hilt of a sword that was against his hip. The sword clicked free from its sheath and he drew it up.
"OMEGA SWORD!" the Imperialdramon slashed forward. "Die you being of darkness!" the strong force of light raged forward.
Lucemon looked directly into the attack. Suddenly a burning light erupted from the sphere of darkness the dragon held. The Omega Sword's attack was obstructed by a barrier and flashed towards Tiger Vespamon. The wasp only had seconds to escape the blast. The blast engulfed the wasp tossing it, like a rag doll, to the ground on the Tokyo side of the bay.
"Impossible…the Omega Sword…is supposed to destroy all agents of darkness," growled the white armored Imperialdramon.
"It must be Kougen…" said the avian warrior as he slid past the Imperialdramon.
"How?" growled Imperialdramon. He looked back to the avian warrior.
"Just a second…" replied the warrior. A golden falcon was on his shoulder. "Go, I want to know what's in that sphere!" The falcon nodded and took flight. It disappeared into the darkness.
"Divine Atonement!" orange lasers fired forward.
The digimon ducked and weaved their way around the dragon. Tiger Vespamon rejoined the attack with a slash of his swords releasing a blast of Royal Master. Lucemon roared in irritation at the digimon as they leveled their attacks on him. Azulongmon swept around coiled up and released Aurora Forces into Lucemon's face forcing the lavender dragon to recoil slightly.
"Blazing Helix!" Zhuqiaomon dove past Lucemon twisting flames washing over the dragon's face.
"Black Hail!" Ebonwumon was still hanging back but he fired his energy attack on Lucemon pelting his head with dark energy balls.
The white armored Imperialdramon opened the chest compartment of his armor. "Everyone out of the way, I'm not sure what will happen! GIGA DEATH!" a stream of energy flashed forward and exploded brightly. The bay actually parted from the blast and then sloshed back together.
Lucemon loomed over the bay. The scales of his chest armor glowing bright red from the heat. Instantly the digimon started attacking the glowing red brand that Imperialdramon had put on the lavender dragon.
"Mega Death!" The dragon Imperialdramon fired a blast from his mouth
"Gargo Missile!" The crimson missiles of Black MegaGargomon fired forward smiling.
"Fenrir Sword!" Valkyrimon slashed forward with his sword.
"Royal Master!" The wasp swordsmen sliced forward unleashing a stream of energy.
"God Flame!" The six winged dragon, Goddramon, flew forward belching golden flames.
"Justice Burst!" The mechanical arm of Justimon morphed into its cannon mode and fired a salvo of purpled bolts.
"Giga Death!" The Paladin dragon fired another round from his chest ray gun.
Baihumon shot up from the flames of Odaiba and circled around. "Vajra!" The white tiger unleashed a comet of light from his mouth.
"Aurora Forces!" Azulongmon swirled around firing a stream of rainbows at Lucemon.
"Desolation BLAST!" Zhuqiaomon flashed his wings open and a pulse crashed into the chest scales of Lucemon.
"Phantom Mist!" the dark fog condensed around Lucemon's chest and then exploded into black flame.
"Kachina BOMBS!" little projectiles exploded into Lucemon from the statuette digimon on the shore.
"Static Force!" crimson blasts ran up Lucemon's neck.
"Ballistic Feathers!" feather missiles whistled forward exploding into the beast.
"Flower Cannon!" Lilymon flew forward. She fired several green bursts into the dragon.
"This is not working!" growled Baihumon as the scales cooled on Lucemon.
"OF COURSE NOT!" roared Lucemon. "I am invincible!" The dragon's head flashed forward. "Tide of Despair!" maroon flames flashed forward slamming the destined digimon backwards.

"This is really getting ugly…" whispered Koushiro as he watched their digimon get pushed back with every attack they made.
"This Lucemon thing…he was corrupted right?" asked Mimi quietly. Koushiro looked back at the woman and nodded. "I wonder…." Mimi held her digivice up to her mouth, "Lilymon can you hear me?"
"Yes," replied the fairy breathlessly.
"I think I have an idea…" said Mimi loudly. The others looked back at the woman. She gave them a glare, "What? I'm allowed to have ideas…"
"What's your idea, Mimi?" asked Lilymon through the digivice.
"Can you do that flower wreath thing to Lucemon?" asked Mimi quietly.
"Sure; why?" replied Lilymon.
The other blinked, "Are you crazy?" They yelped in unison.
"Think about it, Lucemon as he is now is just a corrupted digimon, maybe we can fix it," replied Mimi with an air of dignity.
Koushiro blinked and looked at the others and then to Mimi. He blinked again and shook his head. "You know…it's just crazy enough to work…"
The other looked at Koushiro, their mouths opened so wide you could've fit a watermelon in and still had room for muffins.
888
Lucemon was surprised. The fairy was buzzing towards him at extremely fast speeds. Its cannon had been dispelled with and it was just charging at him as if to ram his armored body.
Suddenly it veered and did three fast rounds around his neck. Lucemon snarled and looked down to find ropes of flowers tied together in a necklace around his neck.
888
Lilymon turned to see her handy work. A light pink aura surrounded the ring of flowers on the dragon's neck. Suddenly, Lucemon let out a loud roar and the flowers exploded into little fire balls. The entire ring flash burned away.
"Foolish, flower, your little fairy rings don't work on me!" growled the dragon as he turned his head around and opened his maw. There was a flash of white and crimson and the dragon's jaws slammed shut on air.
Lilymon blinked and looked up to find Silphymon's face smiling in front of her.
"Oh…hello," said Lilymon with a smile. Silphymon blushed brightly.
"Now is not the time for blushing!" yelped Gatomon's voice.
"If this was Angemon, you'd say it was Blush-a-palooza!" returned Aquilamon's voice loudly as Silphymon returned to the Tokyo side of the bay and released Lilymon.
888
As Silphymon was heroically saving Lilymon from the jaws of Lucemon a golden falcon passed from the dark sphere. It dove for Valkyrimon and landed on the digimon's shoulder.
Valkyrimon nodded twice and then turned to the others. "Retreat back, get back to the shore, something important has come up." The others looked at Valkyrimon and turned retreating back to the shore.
888
"We see…" whispered Omega quietly as he looked the dark sphere.
"The falcon says there is a very strange angel, larva thing within the sphere, and that it is radiating with light," said Valkyrimon quietly.
"It is worse than we had anticipated," said Omega quietly. "Lucemon has found a way to split himself."
"That means it's only a matter of time before Kage realizes he can destroy Kougen and use the Hazard at will," growled Justimon.
"If he is allowed to do that…" whispered Kougi quietly.
"He'll not just evaporate the Digital World…" Koushiro started.
"But everything between him and Digital World," finished Ken.
"Then we have to lay some whoop ass on him before he figures it out!" shouted Davis.
"And what, pray tell, do you think we've been trying to do since he's digivolved?" asked Yolei with a sneer.
"The closest we've gotten to any 'whoop assing' is making his scales glow orange," grumbled the Paladin Imperialdramon.
"We just have to keep at it, he will wear down after a while," said Davis loudly.
"And in the mean time, he destroys half of Tokyo if not Japan…" growled Yolei.
Taichi walked forward, "but we don't have much choice…in the matter…"
"This guy is worse than Myotismon…Myotismon just wanted to cover the world in darkness," whispered Cody he looked down, "Lucemon doesn't care if he has to destroy world to achieve his utopia. He's so firm in his beliefs that no amount of conniving can change his target or stop him. We can't threaten him with retaliation because he'll just destroy everything…is such an enemy defeatable?"
"All enemies can be defeated," said Ken quietly.
"Let's get him!" called Isamu from Tai's side.
"If we attack together," Kitai looked up at his father, "If we fight together, nothing can stop us! As long as we stick together we can win!"
"Koushiro, Joe, Sora," Yamato looked at the red head, the doctor and his wife, "Get the entire digi-destined ready for one big strike!"
The three nodded and ran back to where the others were. The Megas turned and looked at the large dragon. The Harmonious Ones were keeping it busy. Zhuqiaomon was making low tight strikes against the dragon as Azulongmon tried to hold Lucemon back with his electrified chains. Baihumon and Ebonwumon just continued pummeling the dragon with everything they had.
"We'll get him this time!" growled Tiger Vespamon. Valkyrimon and Justimon hopped up on Black MegaGargomon and took off as the two Imperialdramon flew after Goddramon and Tiger Vespamon.
888
"Justice Burst!" the Justimon fired an attack with the others as they made a concentrated attack on Lucemon. The dragon roared in anger and slapped the Imperialdramon and Goddramon away with his tail.
"Fools, you cannot stop me!" A raised claw slammed Zhuqiaomon in the chest sending the phoenix tumbling backwards. The clawed tail reached up and tossed Azulongmon into Ebonwumon and Baihumon.
"We aren't giving up!" shouted Black MegaGargomon as the others regrouped around him.
"Your persistence will only give you pain," growled Lucemon as the lavender dragon loomed over them. "Let me show you an example..." A black swirl of clouds appeared above the dragon that drained like a funnel into the large twelve winged beast. "You should be ashamed, to call yourselves protectors of two worlds when you can't protect a single island…" It opened its mouth. "Annihilism MAELSTROM!"

AN: This is the part of the little post where I speak my mind. Basically we have the Digi-destined, The Harmonious and well the Guardians of the Digital World…against, Lucemon, and Lucemon….yeah he's owning them….as to his attacks, I decided to be creative and merge the Japanese attacks and the dubbed ones and make them each different so that we have Divine Atonement, the orange laser, Tide of Despair, the maroon flames, Annihilism Maelstrom, which effects will be shone next time, as will Purgatorial Flame. I did that with a few other digimon as well. What is the cruelty of Lucemon in this chapter…last chapter it was obvious, wasn't it, he toasted Odaiba like a marshmallow, this one is a bit more, opaque in that it is the mere fact that he's kicking the stuffing out of them, now I know this is not new to the Digi-destined but, usually at the end of the episode where the bad guy just sort of gets tired or a massive power up…ie Imperialdramon Paladinizing or whatever, rings the end of the bad guy, but Lucemon won't go down as easy or at least not in the same way though…..
I was half tempted to post a surprise ending in which Lilymon's flower wreath actually worked as sort of a gag ending just to see what you guys would say…but decided that too cruel. It was cruel enough that I introduce Silphy/Lily or more accurately Aquila/Lily and a hint at Gato/Ange without rhyme or reason, for it at the time being, it just seemed to make me laugh so I added it as much for me as anyone…. :p
