Eternal Conflict
Amalgamation
Chapter 08: Soaring Hawk
"V Wing Blade!" The large red Aero V-dramon shouted, shooting a red beam of energy from his mouth towards the fleeing chosen.
Takeru quickly grabbed Miyako and threw her to the side before dodging the blast of energy from the Perfect level digimon, which destroyed quite a few trees that would've been in their path.
Maria stopped running as Elecmon started glowing brightly. "Elecmon Evolve!" Elecmon's body shifted into that of a centaur with bulging purple muscles, and a blaster on his arm. "Kentarumon!"
Miyako's digivice suddenly started blasting out a bright white light. Miyako was confused at what was happening as the light hit Hawkmon.
Hawkmon took to the air as he glowed white. "Hawkmon Evolve!"
This put a simile on Miyako's face as Hawkmon's form grew to at least four times his previous size. The new bird's body was covered in red feathers, while white feathers covered the face area, and brown feathers covered the neck. Two gray horns were growing out of his head. "Aquilamon!"
"He…evolved." Miyako said, a look of wonder on her face. Takeru just chuckled silently, before grabbing his digivice.
"Digimental Up!" Takeru shouted, bright golden light shooting out of his digivice towards Patamon.
"Patamon Armor Evolve!" Patamon shouted as his form changed to a brown horse with wings covered in golden armor. "The Hope that Gallops Upon the Heavens, Pegasmon!"
Takeru quickly got on his partner and the winged horse took up to the sky. Takeru also drew his sword, its silver blade almost shining.
Green light gathered around Pegasmon's forehead. "Silver Blaze!" Pegasmon moved his head forward, shooting out a prism of green energy towards Aero V-dramon.
"Magnum Crush!"
The large dragon digimon actually punched the green burst of energy, getting burned in the process, but still deflecting the attack.
Takeru slashed his sword forward. "Majinken!" A gold shockwave of energy slammed into Aero V-dramon's head, disorienting the digimon slightly. Takeru noticed the digimon's red eyes as Pegasmon flew away.
"He's under the Kaiser's control!" Takeru shouted.
Miyako blinked, before noticing the black spiral-like object on Aero V-dramon's arm. "He's right…" Miyako said.
Aquilamon flew behind the viral perfect, his mouth open. Gold energy seemed to form around it.
"Blast Laser!" Aquilamon shouted, a bold beam of energy with spiraling gold rings around it shot out of his mouth and slammed into Aero V-dramon's back.
Kentarumon raised his blaster arm towards Aero V-dramon's arm. "Hunting Cannon!" A gold ball of energy shot out of the blaster towards Kentarumon's Evil Spiral.
Aero V-dramon turned and whacked the blast of energy with his tail, before turning around and punching Kentarumon into a tree. Blood shot out of the adult digimon's mouth.
"Are you alright Kentarumon?" Maria asked, concerned.
"I'll…be…fine…" Kentarumon choked out, spitting out blood. Maria quickly ran over to her partner, who soon devolved into Punimon.
Aero V-dramon opened his mouth, red energy starting to glow around it, aimed towards Maria and her digimon.
"Bit Bomb!" A large bomb collided with the attack, detonating it in mid air. Aero V-dramon turned to see a small circular digimon with white wings flying around. The small digimon had purple fur, and carried a spear.
"You really should've waited for me." A male voice said. Maria turned around to see a Native American with black hair a brown eyes, leaning against a tree. He wore a brown jacket that looked to be Native American and brown pants.
"What are you doing her Lou?" Maria asked. Miyako just turned.
Lou raised an eyebrow. "Saving you." He remarked simply.
"You were supposed to be attacking a different location with the others." Maria said.
"Steve sent me back here." Lou replied.
"V Wing Blade!" A red V shaped beam of energy shot at Piccolomon, who dodged the beam expertly.
"You missed me!" Piccolomon cheered happily…
Only to get punched in the head by Aero V-dramon, knocked into the ground. Piccolomon staring glowing gold as he grew into a green skinned child level digimon called Goblimon.
Lou looked around. "This isn't good."
Takeru slashed his sword downward again. "Majinken!" Takeru yelled, a gold wave of energy hitting Aero V-dramon in the back against.
Suddenly the large perfect digimon turned around and fired his red beam of energy, hitting Pegasmon in the chest, knocking Takeru off of him.
Takeru hit the ground, dislocating his shoulder in the process.
"Damn it!" Takeru cursed through the pain, his sword lying near him.
Pegasmon circled around the digimon again. "Needle Rain!" Many small thing pieces of hair shot out from Pegasmon's neck into the Viral Digimon's eyes.
"Attack Damn it!" Pegasmon shouted over towards Aquilamon. The large bird digimon nodded.
"Blast Laser!" The gold beam of energy shot out of Aquilamon's mouth once again, slamming into Aero V-dramon's chest, knocking the digimon back.
Pegasmon extended his wings. "Shooting Star!" Many star shaped blasts of energy shot out of Pegasmon's wings, hitting Aero V-dramon around his body.
The red dragon howled in pain, blindly hitting Pegasmon with his arm. Pegasmon went flying into the ground, before getting up and taking to the air again.
Miyako moved over to where Takeru was. "Are you alright?" she asked with genuine concern.
"Yeah." Takeru said, gritting his teeth. He used his uninjured arm to snap his shoulder back into place. "I've been through much worse."
"Flirt Later!" Lou shouted at the two children. Miyako blushed, while Takeru rolled his eyes.
Green energy swirled on Pegasmon's forehead again. "Silver Blaze." Pegasmon fired off a green prism-like blast of energy at Aero V-dramon's arm. The large dragon turned at the last second, the attack blasting the digimon's tail again.
'Damn.' Pegasmon mentally cursed as Aero V-dramon turned around.
"V Wing Blade!" A red beam of energy shot from Aero V-dramon's mouth, blasting Pegasmon full on the chest. The flying horse digimon fell back into the ground.
Pegasmon glowed as a gold beam of energy shot off towards Takeru as he shrunk. Soon he was back to being Patamon.
Aero V-dramon turned towards Aquilamon who was speeding towards him. "V Wing Blade!"
Aquilamon dodged the beam of energy, gold light gathering around his horns as he sped towards Aero V-dramon. "Glide Horn!"
Aquilamon impaled Aero V-dramon through the arm, destroying the Evil Spiral in the process.
However, Aquilamon's horns had pierced a vital part of the digimon's body, and Aero V-dramon burst into data, before Aquilamon devolved to Poromon and fell to the ground.
"So when exactly are we going to attack again?" Tentomon asked, flying next to his partner Sigma.
"Soon." Neo said. "We don't want to be caught unprepared." His Black Agumon was sleeping on the ground of the bleak world.
"That would be a rather good idea." Piyomon replied. Rei was deep in thought.
"But what do we do about 'him'?" Rei asked. Kairuto chuckled.
"As far as we should be concerned, 'he' is our enemy." The black haired boy said.
"And we'll deal with 'him' the same way we deal with all our other enemies." Patamon said, a feral grin on his face.
Neo just shook his head. "Alright. You and Sigma will attack Odaiba."
Chizuru was worried.
While her partner had already Armor Evolved into Opossumon (a bit reluctantly, but he still did), and Wormmon and Armadimon had evolved into their Adult forms, they were still doing awful against this large red dragon.
"V Wing Blade!" A red blast of energy knocked Opossumon to the ground. The small rodent digimon quickly jumped up and started floating again.
"Mad Balloon Bomb!" Opossumon threw many of his small balloons at Aero V-dramon, which exploded on contact. Chizuru and the others had already figured out that the digimon was a perfect and was under the control of the Kaiser, due to the spiral object on the digimon's arm, but they were still having a hard time freeing the digimon.
Aero V-dramon spun around and swiped at the two adult and one armor digimon with his tail, knocking Anklyomon back, before taking off towards the air. Red energy gather around the dragon's mouth, pointed at the two digimon.
"V Wing Blade!" The energy shot off in a beam of red energy. Stingmon frantically dodged, while Opossumon was blasted in the side trying to get away. Opossumon fell to the ground with a thud and started glowing pale pink, before devolving to Labramon.
"Spiking Finish!" Stingmon extended his arm back, a purple blade appearing on his arm, before speeding downward at Aero V-dramon's head. Aero V-dramon looked up and moved back, getting stabbed in the ribs instead.
Aero V-dramon landed on the ground, intent on getting a better shot at Stingmon. Red energy began gathering in his mouth.
"Tail Hammer!" Ankylomon charged towards the perfect level digimon, turning around and hitting it in the head with his tail.
Aero V-dramon faltered slighting, before punching Ankylomon in the head.
Anklyomon fell the ground, clearly dazed. Chizuru ran over towards Labramon. "Are you alright?" Chizuru asked.
"I've been worse." Labramon said, before pausing. "I think…"
Ankylomon devolved into Armadimon. Aero V-dramon prepared to fire a burst of energy from his mouth.
"Armadimon!" Iori yelled, trying to the to his partner. Ken grabbed the young boy. Iori glared at Ken.
"Let me go!" He shouted, trying to break free, but Ken's hold on him was firm.
"Moon Shooter!"
A burst of purple energy slammed into Aero V-dramon's head. The red perfect digimon growled, looking up towards Stingmon. The dragon shot into the air, his fist pulled back.
"Magnum Crush!" Aero V-dramon shouted, thrusting his arm forward, red energy swirling around it, before his fist collided with Stingmon's chest.
Stingmon started breathing heavily, while he struggled to maintain his Adult form. Ken let Iori go at that point.
"Kaiser Nail!" A large golden burst of energy shot off and hit Aero V-dramon in the back. Ken turned his head to see a black humanoid wolf wearing green pants with skull designs on them. He had brass knuckles on his hands. This was a Were Garurumon. Next to him was Kuro.
"Who are you?" Ken asked.
"I'm on your side." Kuro replied. "Now, put an end to this Were Garurumon." The black Were Garurumon jumped up into the air, his right-paw glowing.
"Kaiser Nail!" The humanoid wolf thrust his arm forward, a golden burst of energy shooting out from it and knocking Aero V-dramon into the ground. Were Garurumon jumped on top of Aero V-dramon's arm, holding it in place (and showing the location of the Evil Spiral) while the perfect was disoriented.
"Attack now Stingmon!" Ken shouted, grabbing his fist.
Stingmon's arm blade appeared in his hand again. He sped towards Aero V-dramon.
"Spiking Finish!"
Stingmon thrust his arm forward and impaled the Aero V-dramon's arm, destroying the spiral in the process. The Aero V-dramon devolved into two blue Chicomon, while Stingmon devolved into Leafmon. Ken grabbed his partner, while Kuro grabbed the two Chicomon. Labramon and Armadimon brought themselves off of the ground.
"Are you all alright?" Kuro asked, looking over at Chizuru. "I'm fine." She paused. "I don't think we've met. My name is Inoue Chizuru."
"Just call me Kuro." Kuro said simply. Chizuru blinked her eyes.
'There's something about him that's familiar.' She thought. "Alright Kuro-san." She answered, still wondering about this mysterious teenager. Kuro turned towards Ken.
"Are you alright Ken-kun." Kuro said. Ken blinked.
"I'm fine." The partner of Leafmon said.
"Then I should be going." And in a bright flash of light, both Kuro and the black Were Garurumon were gone, the two Chicomon gone with him.
"Who is that Kuro anyway?" Leafmon asked. "And he took the Chicomon with him."
"Damn it!" Ken said, realizing his mistake. "For all we know, he could be working for the Kaiser."
"I doubt it." Iori said.
Chizuru turned towards the younger boy. "Can you explain what you mean Iori-kun?" She asked.
"Yeah… I think getting me up to speed would be a really good idea." Labramon said.
"Kuro helped up free Yamato's Gabumon." Iori said. "I doubt he would've done that if he was working for the Digimon Kaiser."
"But who is he?" Ken asked.
"We really have no idea." Armadimon answered. Suddenly the group heard something move in the bushes. The three chosen and the two child level digimon tensed up, before Hikari, Daisuke, and their digimon appeared. Ken noticed that they were both carrying an unconscious Chicomon in addition to their digimon.
"You're alright." Hikari said with relief. "After the trouble we went through with one of those dragon digimon, we were worried."
"With good reason." Armadimon said. "If it weren't for Kuro and that Black Were Garurumon, we would've been dead for sure."
Suddenly Miyako's group came out from the other side of the area.
"Before we ask anything, let's get back to Earth." Hikari said.
"That's interesting." The Kaiser remarked to himself. 'So the Digimental of Kindness wasn't for Ken after all. But then why does Hikari and Takeru have Digimentals that coincide with their crests?'
"Maybe Ken was never meant to use a digimental." The Kaiser thought out loud. "Unless?" The Kaiser typed something into the keyboard, and an image of that strange digimental that he was inspecting before appeared. "That could be meant for Ken, but what Digimental is it?" Suddenly something blinked on the keyboard. Ryo pressed the glowing button, and an Image of Oikawa appeared on the screen.
"Good to hear from you Oikawa." Ryo remarked. "What do you want?"
"Do you know what happened on Earth?" he asked. Ryo chuckled.
"No. Enlighten me." The digimon Kaiser said in an arrogant voice.
"Yagami Taichi has regained the ability to evolve his digimon to the Perfect level." Oikawa said. The Kaiser's eyebrows arched under his huge goggles, although they weren't visible to Oikawa.
"Really. And another chosen has been called." Ryo said. "Inoue Chizuru. It will be interesting seeing Osamu's ex-girlfriend again. Maybe she'll have some motive of revenge for me killing him."
"Two." Oikawa said simply.
"Excuse me?" Ryo inquired.
"There were two chosen called." Oikawa said. "One was as you said, Inoue Chizuru. The other was Motomiya Jun, Motomiya Daisuke's older sister. She has one of the older model digivices."
"Really." Ryo said simply. "Has she met her partner?"
"Yes. A Bakumon who evolves into Wizarmon." Oikawa said.
"We have nothing to worry about." Ryo said. "Do you need me to send you any digimon to attack them?"
"That won't be necessary for now." Oikawa said. "Sigma and Kairuto are going to try an lure them out while both of the Saibas' partners recover." Oikawa paused. "However, it seems that someone whom you've killed isn't as dead as you thought. He just decided to make you think that he is."
"Who is it?" Ryo asked.
"I think you can figure that out yourself." And with that, Oikawa's image disappeared.
Ryo frowned. 'Who could I have left alive? 'He' doesn't even begin to narrow it down.'
Ryo pressed another button on the keyboard. The sound of static on a radio sounded through some kind of speaker.
"Cyber Dramon, how goes the search?" Ryo asked.
"So far so good." Cyber Dramon responded over some kind of communication link. "I've already captured a Taomon, Mega Seadramon, Three Metal Tyranomon, and a Tousana Gekomon."
A smile graced Ryo's lips. "So many so soon. You constantly exceed my expectations."
"So what are my new orders?" Cyber Dramon asked.
"Return to base for now." Ryo said. "I don't want you to tire yourself."
"Alright Ryo." Cyber Dramon responded before the static noise disappeared.
"It will be interesting to see what Hyobanshi can do." Ryo said, a smirk on his face.
"So what do we do now?" Chizuru asked, noticing that the TV portal was in pieces, blown apart beyond recognition. "We can't get back to Earth from here."
"This isn't good." Poromon said tiredly. "We won't be able to fight off another attack from the Kaiser in our shape."
Miyako looked around the area, before she eyed Takeru. "Do you know the closest portal to Earth."
"All of the nearest portals are in the Kaiser's captured territory." Patamon said. The other chosen got dejected looks on their faces at this statement.
"Except one." Takeru said.
"What do you mean?" Labramon asked, confused.
"He's talking about our base." Lou said.
Iori looked over at the Native American teenager. "Your base?" he asked.
Goblimon laughed. "Of course, our base. Did you really think that Takeru and Ken just lived around in the wilderness in the Digital World?"
"Where is this base?" Hikari asked, still holding two unconscious digimon in their arms.
Suddenly the group was engulfed in bright light, before they vanished.
"What happened!" Daisuke yelled as he and the other chosen appeared in some kind of teleportation device. He looked around, noticing a blond haired boy with glasses and a white version of Agumon, Yuki Agumon, working at a console.
Lou, Maria, Takeru, Ken, and their digimon stepped out of the transportation thing.
"Took you long enough Steve." Maria remarked dryly.
"Give me a break." The boy, Steve responded. "It's not like I wanted to risk bringing any of the Kaiser's digimon into the base."
"Yeah yeah." Maria said, before walking out a door with her Punimon in her arms.
Lou shook his head as he and Goblimon followed her.
Takeru turned around. "Welcome to our base." He paused. "You can get out of that transporter you know."
The other chosen stepped out hesitantly. Steve got up from the console, before taking the two Chicomon out of Hikari and Daisuke's hands. "I'll take these two to the hospital wing." Steve said before he and Yuki Agumon stepped out of the room.
"So, we're at your base?" Miyako asked, looking around all over the place.
"I believe that you might want to rest here a bit." Ken said.
"What do you mean?" Labramon asked.
"Digimon recover more quickly in the Digital World." Ken explained. "That and this base is loaded with more weaponry than a Saint Galgomon. You're safer here than on Earth."
"But what about our parents?" Daisuke asked. Miyako and Chizuru looked down. "They'll be worried about us." Hikari grabbed Daisuke's arm.
"Hikari-chan?" Daisuke asked, confused. Hikari just shook her head.
"We'll stay here for now." Hikari said. "We'll just tell our families what happened next time we go back to Earth."
"You sure?" Armadimon asked.
"Yes." Hikari responded.
"I'll show them to where they'll be staying." Patamon said as he took up to the air.
"And Ken and I will report to Gennai." Takeru said.
"Wait." Chizuru said. Ken and Takeru looked over towards the oldest girl in the room.
"What?" Ken asked.
"I was just wondering. Are you Ichijouji Ken?" She asked.
"I am." Ken answered simply.
"Do you know what happened to Osamu-kun?" she asked. Ken closed his eyes.
"The Kaiser killed him." Ken said simply before he and Takeru left the room. Chizuru's eyes widened.
'Why would Ryo kill Osamu?' Chizuru thought.
"We should get going." Patamon said, before he started leading the chosen out of the transporter room.
Elecmon looked around the Village of Beginnings. This Elecmon happened to be red instead of purple like Maria's partner, and was blue where Maria's digimon was yellow. The Village of Beginnings was a small town made up of soft blocks that looked like children's toys. Many digitama were all over the place, as were many cribs with small baby digimon in them. Elecmon noticed a child level digimon in the area. This digimon happened to look like a small orange lion cub with a collar around his neck that had a green jewel on the tag. This was Leormon.
"Hello Leormon!" Elecmon called out cheerfully. "What brings you here today?"
"Nothing much Elecmon." The lion digimon responded. "I just figured I'd help look after the baby digimon today."
"I could always use some help around here." Elecmon said. "Are you going to fight against Ogremon again after you evolve back into Leomon?" Elecmon asked.
"Probably." Leormon said. The baby digimon seemed to be sleeping at this moment. "I don't understand it."
"What?" Elecmon asked.
"I'm not a chosen digimon." Leormon said. "That means that I shouldn't have retained my memories this much, yet I remember everything that happened in my previous life."
"Maybe you're exposure to the digivices had something to do with it." Elecmon said.
"That might be true." Leormon said. "That might also explain why I'm able to evolve into Leomon for a limited amount of time despite not being a chosen digimon. I'm also waiting for something to happen, but I don't know what."
"I'm sure you'll figure it out someday." Elecmon said, before there was a flash of light outside the village.
Both Child digimon turned their head. "What's that?" Elecmon asked.
"I don't know. Leormon Evolve!" Leormon was consumed in a bright flash of light, before he became a large muscular humanoid brown skinned male lion wearing leather pants and carrying a short dagger sheathed on his back. "Leomon!"
Both digimon ran off towards the direction of the flash, before they saw Kuro and his viral Were Garurumon walking up towards them. Two Chicomon were in their arms.
"Oh, it's …" Elecmon began to say.
"The name's Kuro now." Kuro interrupted. "These two digimon were under the control of the Digimon Kaiser and were forced to Jogress Evolve. They won't be able to evolve to Child again for a while. Do you have a place where they can rest?" Kuro asked.
"Yeah." Elecmon said. "I have their own cribs from when they first came here." Elecmon bolted away. Leomon looked over towards the human.
"Who are you?" Leomon asked.
"I'm one of the first chosen." Kuro responded.
Hikari was currently in a bedroom of some kind. There was a computer, and a bed and dresser, but most of the room was bare. She put Nyaromon on the bed, how seemed to curl up in her sleep. Hikari sat down at the computer desk.
"This is your room on the base." Patamon had told her that when he brought her here. "What exactly did he mean by that?"
Hikari decided to check the computer, to see that it was already on, with a message.
To: YagamiHikari(at)avalon.digiFrom: Gennai(at)avalon.digi
Subject: Welcome to the Avalon
Message:
Well, it's been a while that I've spoken to you Hikari. As you may have guessed, this is our main base of operations in the Digital World. It's actually an airship. You're currently in your room… yes, I did say YOUR room. As long as you remain on the Avalon, you will be sleeping there. Feel free to decorate it all you like.
On the computer is information regarding every chosen and digimon that we have records of. Unfortunately, not even I have information regarding the original five chosen. I've already asked the Harmonious Ones, but they say that it was before their time.
I don't know how long you'll be staying, but I've set it up so that you and the other chosen of your team will be receiving weapons training. Mimi will be your instructor in using a spear. Trust me, you'll be glad I had you learn this later.
Congratulations on becoming leader of the second Odaiba group of chosen. You'll be a good leader for your team.
If you need advice on how to lead the group, just ask Taichi.
From
Gennai.
Hikari read the message over again, clearly confused. "Mimi? Weapons Instruction? What's going on here?"
"It's almost time." Kairuto remarked. He, Patamon, Sigma, and Tentomon were alone.
"Where are we going to attack?" Patamon asked.
"We'll be attacking a harbor area." Sigma said. "Our main objective is to destroy the harbor area. Not the chosen."
"I know, I know." Tentomon replied. "But can we at least go perfect in the destruction?"
"No." Sigma responded coldly.
"Fine…" Tentomon responded, clearly disappointed.
"What time do we attack?" Patamon asked.
"Some time around 23:30." Kairuto responded. "This is going to be a slaughter." Kairuto licked his lips at the thought, and action that was mimicked by Patamon.
Sigma remained stoic.
"Only three hours left to go." Tentomon said gleefully.
End Chapter 08
Author's Notes:
I know this chapter is short, but I've been sick lately, and didn't want this to spill over into next chapter, where I'm going to develop some of the other characters a bit. (Namely Koushiro, Jun, Jyou, and their partners.)
As for why I made Leomon's devolved form an Leormon, I just did that because I wanted to, and I also didn't want to have two Elecmon in that scene, as everyone makes a Leomon's devolved form Elecmon. And last but not least, Leormon fits the evolution.
Alforce Zero: Ken technically is the Child of Kindness; he just doesn't use that digimental. Like how Taichi didn't get the Digimental of Courage, despite the fact that he is the Child of Courage.
Opossumon is a decent Adult form as far as power goes, but it is a digimon created to be cute. Labramon is just upset that he can't look like a bringer of destruction.
Digi Fan: There will be Jogress Evolution, just not between the Main Chosen (Hikari's group), I have another way for most of the group to gain Perfect level in this story. Besides, with the odds that they are already fighting, Jogress Evolution isn't really that much of a useful idea.
UPDATE: JULY 8, 2005: I changed Leomon's child form from Agumon to Leormon, a picture of which is here:
http// shining evo .ultimate digimon . com/ encyclopedia/ images /leormon.jpg
Just removed the spaces as usual. And I changed Primary Village to the Village of Beginnings, which is waht it's called in the original version. I'm trying to do this for all the chapters which mentioned Primary Village.
