Negation

The cybernetically enhanced Guilmon stood among the baffled stares of his once former friends and allies. The red Digimon growled a cold, savage snarl towards Kyuubimon and Gargomon. The mechanical devices attached to Guilmon blinked and bleeped, humming with dozens of robotical weaponry, armed and waiting. Even in his weakened condition, the fowl smell of his own blood gagging his senses, Takato was able to see Guilmon.

"Guilmon? Guilmon is that really you?" Takato weakly asked. The poor boy's limbs shook limply with pain; the color completely drained from his face and mutilated body. Rika gasped in horror at sight of the boy. Tears formed as the girl screamed "BASTARD, what the hell did you do to our friends? Haven't you butchered enough innocents for one night?". Tallos laughed "Butchered? Hardly, all I did was give your friend here an upgrade.

Experiment #28 to be precise. This machine amplifies the power of any life form it is attached to, supplying it with weapons, targeting computers, and state-of-the-art subliminal technology. Thanks to this little remote control, I have completer power over your former comrade, and he'll do ANYTHING I want. Once the Lazarus creates enough Digimon soldiers, I will equip every Digimon with experiment 28#, making them completely invincible.

The model you see before you is merely a prototype, but I'm sure it'll be enough to get rid of you miserable little ankle biters once and for all". The enslaved Guilmon growled and snapped his jaws at the Tamers. Gargomon aimed his guns directly at the opposing Digimon, "Come on buddy chill out, it's me Terriermon" he said. Henry growled coldly "Your insane Tallos, Guilmon is our friend and he would never attack us no matter what".

The agent smirked "Let's find out". Tallos raised the remote control to his lips and pressed a button, he uttered into the microphone "Kill them all". A light blinked on the remote the exact same time a light linked on Guilmon's collar. Guilmon's golden eyes flashed red as he leapt at Kyuubimon, "ROWR" he snarled. The fiery fox Digimon cried out as she was slammed fast and hard, Guilmon plowed her into a wall. "KYUUBIMON" Rika said.

Despite the overall force of the shock, Kyuubimon could tell that Tallos wasn't lying. Guilmon's power had been dramatically increased beyond any rookie level. "Hey get off her NOW" Gargomon said as he fired his gargo laser cannons at Guilmon. The onboard computer inside Guilmon's machinery activated, the wavering antennae on his back opened a series of vents. Gushing jet like flames created a powerful jet like propulsion blast.

"WAH" Gargomon yelled as he was violently hurled back by the force of the jet blast. Not only had it pushed him back with it's force, but the jet engines also reflected Gargomon's laser bullets right back. Guilmon then grabbed Kyuubimon by her furry collar, and shot into the air with her in tow. WHAM! Kyuubimon's head was bashed into the reinforced steel ceiling of the building, Guilmon dropped her to the ground with a deafening slam.

"Guilmon, you have to stop this, Tallos is controlling you, can't you see that were your friends?" Henry shouted. The enslaved Guilmon looked to the boy with a lifeless snarl. Clicking compartments on the sides of Guilmon's chest revealed miniature stinger missiles. "Swarm missiles activated, target locked, initiating attack sequence now" the computer buzzed. The missiles blasted from Guilmon's cyborg parts, spiraling down right towards Henry.

The boy screamed and turned to run, "GET DOWN" Rika shouted as she shoved him down. The missiles smashed into the ground and exploded on impact. Dozens of fiery blasts exploded around the frightened children, Guilmon quickly dashed down to finish the job. "Time for a bunny pummel UGH" Gargomon grunted. The flying rabbit crunched his gun turret hands right into Guilmon's jaw, then hammer punched the cyborg to the ground.

Black bruises formed on the Digimon's red jaw but Guilmon remained un-phased. Now on the ground, the cyborg Digimon was cornered by Kyuubimon and Gargomon. Kyuubimon pleaded "Please Guilmon, you have to stop this, we don't want to hurt you". Gargomon added "Were the good guys remember? Were all pals here, you and Takato". The name Takato suddenly caused a reaction to Guilmon's face, his eyes tweaked nervously.

"That's it, come on Guilmon remember" Rika cheered. The name continued to ring louder, and louder in the Digimon's mind, he hanged his head in confusion. Tallos clicked his clawed digits over the remote control's buttons. Red lights flashed in Guilmon's eyes, he was back under Tallos control. The golden fox sighed "We've got no choice but to do this the hard way, I'm sorry Guilmon". The surrounding Digimon prepared to both attack at once.

Kyuubimon from the left fired her fox tail inferno, and Gargomon fired his gargo laser from the right. Guilmon's computer beeped "Analyzing attack properties, calculating most effective defensive maneuver. Initiating mirror force now" the machine hummed. A bright blue energy aura suddenly circled Guilmon's body, surrounding him in an egg shaped energy shield. The arriving attacks bounced off the shield and were reflected right back.

"Oh crap not again ACK" Gargomon said before being violently blasted back by his own attack once more. Thinking quickly on her fox feet, Kyuubimon leapt into the air and dodged her reflected fox tail inferno attack. The champion Digimon then launched her second attack. Kyuubimon roared "Dragon Wheel", the flaming wheel attack screamed towards Guilmon. "Initiating evasive maneuvers" the computer buzzed as its engines hummed.

The cyborg Digimon leapt to the side using the jet vents as boosters, Guilmon easily dodged Kyuubimon's attack. Rika's Digimon gasped at this, finding it hard to believe he could have avoided that attack so flawlessly. Kyuubimon frowned "This is not good, not good at all. Those machines on Guilmon's back give him incredible abilities. His speed, accuracy, power, everything is so precise, how can I fight something THAT advanced?". Guilmon growled towards his furry foe, slowly raising his left claw cannon.

The boxing glove like appendage suddenly activated. Guilmon's computer squawked "Buster Cannon has been initiated, selecting appropriate weapon based on opponent's attack data. Weapon found: commencing freezer burn initiation. Calculating odds of successful impact complete, 99 of successful impact". Tallos smirked as Guilmon aimed his robotic paw towards Kyuubimon, and unleashed a gigantic blue colored icy energy blast.

"UGH" the female Digimon screeched in pain, feeling frozen chunks of ice crawl across her shivering body. Rika and Henry gasped in horror. Kyuubimon dropped to her furry knees, trembling at the stinging burns of the ice climbing up her body. "Even with fire being my special ability GR, that ray nearly froze my heart cold" Kyuubimon uttered. The wicked Tallos cackled "HA I told you it was pointless, I've created the ultimate weapon.

With the computer at its disposal, my creature will match you move for move every time. The most advanced technology combined with the most powerful monster in the world. And now enough of these petty games, Experiment #28, FINISH HER OFF". The Digimon growled in response to his master's commands, slowly opening his jaws and powering up an attack. "No stop, Guilmon don't do it PLEASE, she'll die" Rika pleaded in tears.

But the cyborg Digimon was long gone from the world of family and friends, Guilmon blasted a powerful pyro sphere at Kyuubimon. "BANZAI" Gargomon shouted as he landed right on top of Guilmon's back. BOOM! Kyuubimon squealed as the blast exploded right beside her 9 tails, barely dodging the massive fire ball explosion. The wailing Gargomon clutched his firearm hands around Guilmon's back, as if riding the reptile like a wild bull.

Rika quickly slashed a card "Hyper heat activate". Kyuubimon roared as her fox flames blasted the ice off in a mighty blast, giving her the strength she needed for a final direct attack. Gargomon gulped "Hurry up Kyuubimon, I can't hold him forever, WHOA Digimon Nelly WHOA". The champion fox charged after Guilmon with every last bit of strength that she could muster. The cyborg Digimon's sensors activated upon sensing Kyuubimon's attack.

"Danger of impact imminent, initiating emergency protocol, now" the computer beeped. Massive violent charges of raw electricity suddenly fried Gargomon from the back; Guilmon's cybernetic antennae literally became electrified. Guilmon growled before blasting his former friend off his back. Henry gasped as Gargomon collapsed before him, battered, burnt, and beaten. "I'm sorry Henry cough……I guess I blew it" Gargomon said.

Rika's Digimon launched her final tackle attack right at Guilmon's head. The machine ejected a cannon from the top panel; it fired a massive bola capture net. Kyuubimon snarled as she was snared in the net with no way to slow down or stop. "Calculating trajectory of Digimon, attack coordinates complete, initiating now" the computer programmed. Guilmon's jets blasted him off the ground, perfectly safe and away from the tumbling Kyuubimon.

The robotic reptile then smashed his tail into Kyuubimon to add the final blow. "UGH" Kyuubimon grunted as she too collapsed before her tamer, now the children were completely defenseless. Tallos laughed wickedly at his triumphant victory, and all Takato could do was sob in sorrow. "Oh Kyuubimon, are you all right?" Rika said as she gently cradled her friend. But the fox was too weak to respond, a whimpering groan was returned.


Tallos cackled "HA, the game is over children, and I have won! My creation is unstoppable. Once I have completed my mission here, the government shall be fitted with the most powerful army in the entire galaxy. No living being in this or any other world will be able to stop us HA, HA, HA!

A weak Takato begged "Stop it, that's enough; you can't just kill innocent human beings like this you can't……".

"BE QUIET" Tallos screamed.

The mad agent growled and jammed the tazor device right into Takato's left thigh, the boy screamed as it was drilled right into his wounded flesh. Blood gushed from the wound. Takato screamed enraged tears of agony, feeling broken glass and fractured microchips embedded into his skin.

Rika cried out "Leave him alone you bastard".

Tallos shouted back "That's enough from all of you, it's time we put at end to this once and for all. Experiment #28, destroy the children".

Henry frowned "Are you insane, do you honestly think your going to get away with this? You're supposed to be one of the good guys for Christ's sake".

"Don't make me laugh. The government could care less what happens to a few insignificant little no bodies like you, you're all expendable" Tallos said.

The girl replied "Our parents will find out, there going to come looking for us you know".

Tallos smirked "HA, let them. They won't find you and there certainly not going to find me. As for the rest of the world, we'll just say you were all playing by a bridge and had an unfortunate accident. Or perhaps a car crash, maybe even a kidnapping, there are dozens of ways to cover up a few missing children".

"You're sick, your just plain sick" Rika hissed coldly.

Tallos chuckled "Better then being just plain dead. Experiment #28, get rid of them now. Start with Mr. Wong".

The roaring creature snarled a savage growl, drool and rage dripping from Guilmon's ferocious fangs. Takato wept at sight of his friend, devastated at what he has become. Once the most gentle, loving, and sweetest friend a boy could ever ask for, and now nothing more then a soulless, heartless beast. The mechanized Guilmon charged towards Henry with his cannon ready.

Guilmon growled "ROWR".

"Henry no, you've got to run now" Rika gasped.

Henry frantically begged "Guilmon please don't do this, were your friends. REMEMBER WHO WE ARE".

Gargomon sighed "Sorry about this buddy but HIYA".

WHAM!

Before Guilmon could deliver the final fatal blow that would undoubtedly send Henry to an early grave, Gargomon attacked. The Digimon used the last ounce of strength he had to deliver one final punch. Guilmon received a walloping upper cut from Gargomon, bashing the Digimon right into the air.

Tallos blinked "NO, stop, stop, if he comes any closer he'll hit the GAH!

A explosive flash blinded Tallos and Takato as Guilmon struck the super electric force field. The technological weapons and servos inside Guilmon's cyborg parts fried instantly, the massive energy output created a gigantic explosion. Tallos screamed as he was blasted back into a wall with tremendous force. A huge wall of smoke filled the room from the explosion; this gave the children the perfect opportunity to rescue Takato from Tallos.

"Come on, we've got to hurry before Tallos or Guilmon wake up" Henry said.

The boy and girl quickly climbed up an emergency ladder leading up to Tallos platform section. The tamers approached Takato on the steel table, the boy moaned in the most excruciating, agonizing amounts of pain.

Takato whimpered "Henry……mom……dad is that you?".

Henry looked to Rika "Help me get these straps off him".

Rika nodded "Don't worry Takato, were here to save you".

The boy murmured a bit upon hearing that voice, his weary eyes trying to focus on the faces above him. Henry placed a towel around Takato like a blanket for him.

"Rika? But……you helped I……what are you doing here?" Takato said.

The girl smiled "Don't speak Takato please. You need to save your strength; I promise were going to get you some help soon as we get you out of AH!".

The girl shrieked as a violent clawed hand grabbed her red hair and jerked her back. Tallos growled as he hurled the girl across the platform, Henry gasped in horror.

Tallos snarled "Your gonna pay for this you rotten little brat".

"Don't worry about me; get Takato out of here, NOW Henry" Rika ordered.

Henry frowned "She's right, Takato get down that ladder as fast as you can. Once you're down, we'll ACK".

BANG!

A energy blast destroyed the ladder with a single shot, Takato screamed as he dropped along with the ladder. The boy hit the ground with a weak thud. Takato looked up weakly and gasped at the shooter, he couldn't believe it. Guilmon growled as the smoke sizzled from his blaster paw. The dinosaur's cyborg parts sparked raw electricity; most of his mechanical parts were destroyed. But with Henry stuck up on the platform, Takato was defenseless.

Guilmon murmured "I m-m-m-must…….I must destroy Takatomon!".

To be continued……
