Annihilation
Mesmerized eyes remain blindly transfixed on the disturbing, chilling image of a monstrous black claw bursting from the blue pool of energy. The Tamers felt their hearts beat faster and faster with absolute terror. Another black clawed fist emerged and soon grabbed the sides of the busted device; the beast was trying to free itself from the confines of the Lazarus pit. CRASH! A massive, slimy, wet, snake like body rose from the tiny device.
The creature's body was extremely long, and was a sliced mash of black and white. Powerful black armored creature claws formed the beast's primary arms. The towering reptilian form seemed to reach to the Heavens, casting a sinister shadow across the overwhelmed tamers. Silver coated steel like plugs festered inside the multiple holes inside the creature's back. Dragon heads and fangs snapped savagely from the plugs, they circled the air.
Yet despite all of this disgusting flesh and metal, despite the twisted shape and design of this monstrous body, the evolution has yet to produce a head. Dark neon green and bright yellow petals formed around the top of the body. SPLAT! The sickening sound of snapping flesh, bone, and steel create a disgusting sound as the head was created. "ROWR" the snake like head snarled, sporting a sick set of scales that almost looked like bones and flesh.
It was as if god made a sick joke by making this monster's face flesh conflict disgustingly with its skeletal structure. Guilmon, Renamon, Terriermon, Henry, Rika, and Takato could do nothing but stare. No Digimon, demon, stalker, or anything in their darkest nightmares could have prepared them for this. The Digimon tamers were staring into the eyes of the devil himself. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?" the monster screamed furiously.
Henry gasped in disgust "Uh guys……can someone please tell me WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?".
"Pissed off if you ask me" Renamon replied.
Terriermon shivered "Oh man don't tell me we have to fight THAT".
Rika squeaked "That's the scariest thing I've ever seen in my entire life, I c-c-can't even move".
Worse then that guys……that monster is Tallos" Takato said.
Everyone's mouth screamed out "WHAT?".
The boy nodded "You saw it yourselves. Tallos fell right into that little energy pit of his, how else can you explain it?".
Rika gulped "I thought you said he died from that thing, not get turned into some huge freaky ass monster".
"That thing was filled with the energy Tallos was extracting from my body; he's been waiting all night for it to reach full power. Maybe when he fell into it he somehow activated it" Takato answered.
Henry blinked "Are you saying all that energy that he tortured out of you has somehow mutated him into an actual Digimon?".
Takato sighed "I'm afraid so".
The girl scowled "Yuck……makes me sick just looking at him. He looks so creepy, like his blood is made of venom or something, like a uh Venomon.
The monster referred to as Venomon snarled its savage 4 blood red, reptilian eyes upon its targets. The creature's mind still raw with rage and uncontrollable insanity. Venomon screamed as its black claws slammed into the ground and caused the tamers to scatter.
Suddenly Rika screamed "AH! GUYS HELP ME!".
The monster grabbed the weak girl and yanked her off the ground, her wounds still fresh from Tallos fatal stab. Rika fought weakly inside the creature's crushing claws. The tamer was shaking with terror from head to toe. Rika's never felt fear more powerful then this, then the fear of death.
Venomon growled "Look what you did to me! Die Ms. Nonaka, DIE!".
Rika shrieked "TAKATO AHHHHH!".
The girl screamed as the monster's hideous skull snake jaws opened up to devour the girl in his rusted row of jagged, razor sharp teeth. BOOM!
Guilmon, Terriermon, and Renamon blasted their energy blasts right into the eyes and jaws of the mutant monster. Takato and Henry desperately slashed every and any energy card they could find. Venomon snarled as he was temporary blinded by the attacks.
"Now's my chance, HIYA" Renamon said.
The female fox leapt into the air and dashed her furry paws across the wall, running right towards Rika. Renamon snatched the girl free from the monster's claws and proceeded to head back down.
The monster howled "RAAAAH Maelstrom Daggers".
The human turned abomination fired a powerful attack from his back, launching his dragon snapping plug snakes as spears. Renamon cried out as a big chunk of data was sliced from her belly. Takato gasped and quickly ran towards the falling two, his arms wide open.
Takato gasped "Hold on Rika, I'll save you UGH!".
The boy groaned as both Renamon and Rika collapsed over his body. Henry and Terriermon screamed as they ran from Venomon's attacks, even Guilmon seemed powerless to fight against this unstoppable beast. Massive tails and slashing appendages bashed Guilmon and Terriermon apart. Venomon was built for destruction and was doing a pretty good job of it.
Henry groaned "This isn't getting us anywhere. We have to do something or this thing is going to destroy us all, not to mention the city".
"But nothing we've tried has worked, every single attack keeps bouncing off of him. It's like he's at a level we've never reached before" Takato said.
The young red headed girl stood up as she looked deeply into Takato's eyes.
Rika grinned "Then maybe what's what we need to do Takato".
The boy blinked "What, what are you talking about?".
Rika explained "Even if Tallos has been turned into a Digimon, that means he still has to follow by the Digimon rules, he has to have a level just like our Digimon. If we can find out what that level is and Digivolve our Digimon BEYOND that, we might just have a chance to stop him".
Takato stuttered "But this isn't like any Digimon we've faced before. This thing is a random mutation, a freak accident. We don't have a clue what level he is or his attacks or anything".
Guilmon groaned as a powerful bash from the super sized snake monster knocked the lizard right on his tail. Takato gasped in shock, Guilmon was looking worse by the minute.
The girl frowned "Look goggle eyes, you can't flake out on us now. Henry and I will hold snakezilla off as long as we can. In the meantime, you and Guilmon use all the power you have left to Digivolve him as high as you can go".
The young boy was immediately about to protest again, that was until Rika planted a very powerful kiss on the lad's lips. Takato blushed bright red.
"Uh okay" was all Takato could say.
Rika added "Just remember……I believe in you".
With that said, Takato raced to aid his fallen partner while his other friends continued to battle against Venomon. It didn't take long for Terriermon and Renamon to change back into Gargomon and Kyuubimon. Powerful blasts of energy and fire splash upon the scaly, super armored form of the towering monster. But little damaged appeared on the chuckling skinless snake face of Venomon, he simply roared and unleashed his maelstrom daggers again.
The champion Digimon leapt out of the way, watching the dragon spears mutilate and obliterate the steel floor. BAM! Venomon extended both of his powerful armored claw arms, successfully smashing both Digimon into the walls, Rika and Henry gasped.
"GARGOMON" Henry screamed.
KABOOM!
A powerful explosion fried the monster's claws off of Gargomon, the gun toting rabbit then quickly ran his floppy feet up Venomon's arms. Gargomon was using Venomon's own body to help him deliver an attack right to the face. The Digimon blasted his gargo lasers right at the snake's face.
Gargomon chuckled "HA, HA, HA, see how you like the taste of that creep face".
Venomon growled as the bullet's dust clouds slowly vanished away. Gargomon turned a ghostly pale color of white; he didn't put a single scratch on the creature.
Venomon roared savagely.
The Digimon wailed "Holy Shi-AHHHHHH!".
The mutant monster smashed his knuckles right into Gargomon's body; the powerful punch drilled the rabbit right into the ruptured steel ground. Kyuubimon roared and landed a direct hit with her dragon wheel. But once again, their attacks proved ultimately useless against Venomon's power.
"Nothing's working you guys, he's just too strong" Rika said.
Takato smirked "Then let's see if we can't serve something up just as strong, okay Growlmon now do it just like I told you, FIRE TORPEDO".
Growlmon bellowed "PYRO BLASTER!".
The now champion level Digimon dinosaur followed his best friend's plan, and blasted a colossal red energy ball right at Venomon's eye. The blast struck the skeleton snake's red eye and exploded directly within it. Venomon roared thrashing screams, clutching black armored claws over the purple blood gushing from the annihilated eye. Growlmon charged forward.
"Part 1 worked now for part 2, here comes DRAGON SLASH" the reptile said as he charged.
With the titanic sized terror temporarily blinded, Growlmon tackled his razor sharp dragon claws deep into the chest of the scaly snake. Powerful slashes of raw energy, flesh, and armored skin clanged against the mighty strikes. The fierce fire in Growlmon's digital heart pumped him to strike harder, faster, and deeper then he's ever dug before. Venomon's claws and dragon spines waved wildly out of control, randomly smashing against the walls.
Crumbling chunks of mangled steel collapsed under the slicing weight and force of Venmon's claws. The building steel skeletal structure began to crack and break, walls upon walls started to crumble and crash down around the Tamers. Venomon was actually bringing down the whole building. Takato squeaked as he barely was able to dodge all the falling debris.
Henry gasped "AH, this place can't take much more of it. We have to get out of here before the whole thing falls on our heads".
Rika shook her head "No, were not leaving yet. Tallos has to be stopped, we can't let him get away or else everyone in this entire city is going to end up as his appetizers. We have to finish this, right here, right now".
"But if we do that then we might end up getting buried with him" the boy argued.
A scream suddenly erupted from Takato "Uh guys a little help here ACK!".
The boy was slammed back by the crushing force of a red dinosaur's back. Growlmon had been smacked right into Takato by Venomon; the mutant serpent monster apparently has had enough. Howling roars screech from Venomon's fangs, his toxic veins fueled by indescribable seething hatred for these children. Revenge was all he could think about now, nothing more.
The hideous creature roared a ghastly howl, his mangled, deformed jaws uttering a mindless slur. Tallos mind has completely regressed due to the overwhelming power of his Digimon instincts. Anything that was human inside this abominable monster is gone, only an animal remains inside.
Rika screamed "Takato I'm coming I'm AH!".
A frantic Henry also shouted "RIKA UGH!".
Both Gargomon and Kyuubimon shouted "NO!".
The snapping dragon spines had secured their cold, steel like scale forms across the puny, struggling forms of Rika and Henry. The girl whimpered weakly as her wounds started to bleed once more. Rika's purple eyes faded to a dismal, deathly color, it seems all was lost for the fallen Tamers. With both his friends in the clutches of the most ruthless monster ever created, and his Digimon lying on top of him, Takato knew that things looked bad.
Venomon moaned "Now y-y-y-y-y-you die".
Takato sniffled "Good bye old buddy I'm really sorry it had to end this way, I'm so sorry guys.
Growlmon snorted angrily "NO, were not going bye-bye Takatomon, were not. I promised Jeri I'd protect you and that's what I'm going to do".
"Toxic Eclipse attack……FIRE" Venomon shouted.
Rika cried out "TAKATO!"
Takato closed his eyes "GOOD BYE!".
Growlmon let out a mighty "ROWWWWWWR!".
The wicked Venomon blasted his ultimate attack, the toxic eclipse. A supremely powerful, corrosive, toxic like blaster beam consisted of the most destructive and acidic, chemical energies ever created. The beam would no doubt completely destroy both Growlmon and Takato. Bright beams of blue light suddenly energized around the boy's reptilian Digimon. Growlmon roared as his body began to grow, metallic armor sprouted all over his body.
……Growlmon Digivolve to……Wargrowlmon……
The poisonous beam bounced right off the massive super structured armor of Wargrowlmon's body, which was now exactly the same height as Venomon. The murderous mutant gasped in shock.
Wargrowlmon snorted "All right Tallos or whatever you are, let's see how you like picking on a Digimon your OWN size".
To be continued……
