I don't own digimon, or well, Egypt or its pyramids
Egyptian Pyramids Falling Down
888
A black cloak swept around the tall and thin form of the creature that stood in front of Janet. A red mask covered his ice blue eyes. Burnished gold locks of hair fell lightly over his face playing over his pale, bluish features. A midnight blue double breasted suit covered his torso with golden trim and buttons. Long blue pants led into leather boots with skull tipped toes. A bat clip linked his cloak together in the front.
"Who is that guy?" asked Mark quietly as Lucemon backed up a bit.
"That…is…Myotismon…" whispered Lucemon with a little trepidation in his voice. "One his kind was a very powerful overlord in the past."
Janet had staggered backwards falling to the hard metal floor. She looked back. The hand was still crushing Renamon. "SOMEONE FREE RENAMON!"
Lucemon looked up and was quickly at work severing the hand from the fox. The golden kitsune dropped to the ground and landed on her feet with one hand pressed on the aluminum floor. She was breathing in huge breaths of air.
Assaultmon growled softly and looked from the children to Myotismon and then back to the children. It was obvious who the bigger threat was. He pointed his arm cannon at the vampire. "Justice…."
"Grisly Wing!" a dark miasma filled with horrible bats flashed in front of Assaultmon the metal beast reared back and swatted at the little beasts that were assailing him.
"Come on…" shouted Mark as he helped Renamon up. "We need to get out of here!"
"My tag and crest…" Janet looked back at the vampire holding tightly to the pendant.
Suddenly there was a flash of white and Lucemon had shot over and with a well place kick freed the pendant and was running back. Myotismon sneered angrily and pulled his hand to his chest and then extended it out to arm's length. A flash of red flew forward in a stream. "Crimson Lightning!" the strike of blood and electricity slammed Lucemon in the back sending the angelic rookie flying into a wall.
"Lucemon!" shouted Mark as he helped the angel up. The blonde digimon shook his head and then stood.
"Justice Massacre!" The room shook heavily as red energy slammed the walls. The voice of Myotismon echoed off the walls as he chuckled and the smoke parted to reveal a small barrier around the vampire.
"Silly, Assaultmon…" chuckled Myotismon loudly. "I have been in this lab under this pyramid for awhile now, it didn't take me long to learn how to manipulate the dimensional hubs here that are used for your teleportation network. I was even able to utilize the quantum core that's underneath this level…I will not be stopped by your rusty old attacks!"
"You couldn't defeat me with the whole ranks of the other generals you won't defeat me alone as a new Ultimate!" shouted Assaultmon as the metal titan charged.
"We have to get out of here!" shouted Brendan. He was looking at the computer. The pyramid was in degrading at an exponential rate. A hunk of something fell and hit Brendan's arm knocking his laptop from his grasp. "Damn it!" yelped the boy as the computer hit the ground and switched off. "I'm so going to need a new computer…" Brendan grabbed the computer and ran out with the others.
They came to the huge ravine and stopped. There were explosions from the lab as the two mighty Ultimates went at it tooth and nail. The children kept turning their heads back.
"Hurry up!" shouted Kevin impatiently to Brendan.
"I'm going as fast as I can, I have to reboot and then we have to redo the code to make the bridge visible!" shouted Brendan.
"Oh for crying out loud, can't we ride on Youkomon?" Kevin turned to look at Renamon but he notice the fox was still holding its ribs. He instantly felt bad for what he said, "I'm sorry…" The doors exploded open as Assaultmon slid back and bats erupted over the children's heads. "Oh come on…the bridge is right here!"
"How do you know?" shouted Brendan. "For all we know the code could've reset and the bridge is elsewhere!"
Another explosion ripped through the air. Chunks of rock and silt dropped down.
"We don't have time for that!" shouted Kevin and he looked over the ravine, "Plus what's the worse that'll happen, I'd have to start a new game?"
"Kevin…" Brendan's hand shot up and grabbed Kevin's shoulder as he started to walk towards the ravine, "I've been thinking, I think maybe…quite possibly, with the way the Human and Digital worlds are meshed; that it can't be wise to waste your life here, what if you die here and then at home you're erased, or what if…our bodies were digitized so we're here and not home…so when we die, we're dead, dead?"
Kevin's raised foot pulled back from the ledge. There was another explosion this time it shook the whole ground. Brendan turned around and gaped.
"What?" the others shouted in surprise.
"I think they just…broke something important…" gasped Brendan as chunks of wall started to peel away from themselves.
"Hurry and load the computer then!" yelped Janet. She looked like she was about to cry.
"I don't think we have time…" whispered Brendan.
"Then we have no choice…" Kevin looked at the ravine, "I'll go first; if I go down…you guys have to fend those two off until you can get a safe way across…"
"But where's the bridge?" asked Brendan. He looked over the dark gorge.
"I remember we crossed this sort of reddish crack when we came over…" said Kevin. He looked back at the others. "So…this is the place."
"But what if the code changed?" asked Janet.
"I-I don't know…I guess we'll find out," whispered Kevin and he turned and started to take a step forward towards freedom or oblivion. The ground shook from the fighting nearby but he steady himself.
"Wait, how can we know?" yelped Brendan. He looked directly into Kevin's eyes. "I don't want you to die! I'm scared!"
"I don't want to die either…and I am scared also…" whispered Kevin quietly as he straightened his hat, "but courage isn't about not being afraid, it's about being afraid and doing what you have to anyways…." None noticed that under his blue shirt an orange glow was emanating.
"And one good hope beats an apple cart of facts any day!" said Mark with a little cheer trying to encourage Kevin.
"Yeah, there's that too," whispered Kevin. He sighed, "If I don't make it, I want you to take care of Michelle, ok, Mark?"
The little boy looked up in surprise, "Ok…"
Kevin closed his eyes and took a step forward.

"Ice Blast!" Seadramon took a line of Mecha Norimon out.
"Battle Rod Break!" Ginryuumon slammed a burst into a Guardromon knocking to the ground.
"Shima Unimon!" shouted Steven as they humans ran towards the fight. "You guys need to hang out near the pyramid in case Kevin needs help!"
The zebra nodded and galloped towards the pyramid. The tip of the structure exploded with black energy.
"What the heck are they doing in there?" shouted Jason as he slid to a stop.
"Something very bad has happened…" whispered Michelle as she watched the darkness loom over the pyramid.
"I hope they are ok…" whispered Amy quietly.

His foot landed slowly on unseen ground. An untold amount of pleasure ran up his leg as it was being held up by air. Kevin gulped and continued forward cautiously. He carefully walked across the invisible bridge.
When he reached the other side he turned and put his thumb up and waited for the others to cross. When they had they ran for the exit. The checkerboard test was had been totally destroyed by Assaultmon, who seemed to have just shot at it. They scrambled quickly up the incline and through the semi-transparent door and to the outside.
"Hurry, you guys, something's up and we're not sure what!" called Shima Unimon as he picked up the humans and digimon and galloped toward the sphinx.

"Justice Massacre!" the red blast of energy slammed Myotismon backwards into a line of computers. There was a lever to the right of his head. A cold smile played upon his lips and he pulled it. The floor started to pull apart at the middle.
Assaultmon backed away from the split. A bright glow was spewing from the floor. Myotismon glided forward above the floor. "Awe, so you are afraid of falling into the core."
"You think that little thing will stop me?" growled Assaultmon loudly. "I will crush you!"
"Oh, come now, my metal friend, we both know that you'll have been burnt out before you even get to the core's surface," chuckled Myotismon quietly. The floor was already half gone and Assaultmon had been positioned on the opposite side of the room as the door.
Myotismon hovered over the opened floor looking at him smugly. Assaultmon growled softly and took some steps back. "If I'm going down you won't be around to take my forces!" Assaultmon charged forward leapt and then drove the barrels of his cannons down on Myotismon sending the vampire tumbling slightly towards the core. The vampire stopped short of hitting the blazing ball of energy putting up a small barrier to keep him from being incinerated. He looked up and his already pale face paled again. Two glowing red cannons were falling towards him. "Justice Massacre!"

The pyramid bulged noticeably. Trickles of light filtered through the newly made cracks and then the artifact exploded. The infantry of robotic digimon clattered to the ground unconscious. The humans gasped. Both Myotismon and Assaultmon had been in the pyramid. The digi-destined had escaped to a sand dune a safe distance away.
Assaultmon's tipped over trailer opened to reveal a small green digimon running towards the remains of thepyramid.
"LORD ASSAULTMON, NO!" shouted the little digimon as it ran forward. "Please no, not my lord!"
The humans watched in interest as the little green digimon scrambled and pulled and pushed at the rubble. Suddenly something came out of the smoke and the little green digimon stopped and looked up. The humans gasped.
"No…way…" hissed the digi-destined and their digimon. Assaultmon's torso was merged with Myotismon's legs and hips. They had been turned into one digimon thing.
"The…core, they must have breached the core…" hissed Brendan as he watched beast walk forward.

Goblimon looked up at the beast in front of him. "Oh…Lord Assaultmon….poor, poor, Lord Assaultmon!"
The beast looked down at Goblimon. "Who are you?" it growled loudly.
"I'm your most loyal vassal, Goblimon, don't you remember, Lord Assaultmon?" The golden eyes from inside the metallic head of the beast narrowed.
"Oh…it's you…" grumbled the voice. It was slightly different than what Goblimon remembered it to be. Goblimon fell back in wonder looking at the newness of his master. He had arms and hands, though they were laced with wires and metal. His chest was completely metallic with hydraulic systems snaking up and down the front and sides and over his shoulders to his back. His long, bipedal legs were covered in blue pants that ended over metallic hooves. The adorable pink stocking cap was still on his head. Goblimon smiled. Goblimon's lord sneered at the little green digimon and its chest compartment opened revealing a lightning rod like cannon, "I'm proud to tell you, Goblimon, that I am no longer in need of your services…."
The goblin shrieked and scrambled backwards. "Please, my lord, no! PLEASE! Don't!"
Goblimon's pleas did not stop what came. "Justice Lightning!" a whip-like spear of lightning impaled the goblin and then pulled the green digimon in close and drained the green creature's data and then Goblimon's ex-employer closed his chest compartment.

"That thing…" whispered Janet.
"Just killed…" continued Jason.
"One of its own…" finished Steven.
"He has no remorse, look, he ate its data," Brendan pointed out.
"He's a monster…a beast…" whispered Amy quietly.
"DIGI-DESTINED!" shouted the beast as it looked at them. "I've finally come to get you!"
"No…." Amy was looking down in fear at the beast as it slowly walked towards them.
"If we couldn't beat Assaultmon, what's our chance of beating that…thing?" asked Michelle quietly as she pointed towards the beast.
"Slim to none," responded Lucemon quietly.
"Oh my…this thing is just pulsing with those dimensional disruptions, he's warping the world around him!" yelped Brendan as they watched the air warp around the beast.
"He'll hurt a lot of digimon if we don't stop him," whispered Mark. The beast took another step forward.
"You guys…." Kevin looked up at the beast as he walked towards them slowly. "You guys retreat…."
The others looked at Kevin in surprise. "What do you mean?"
"I don't want you to get hurt, I decided to get into this, I'm the one that's going to fight him," said Kevin stoutly. He mounted Shima Unimon. "We'll hold him off; you guys get to safety and start a plan."
"You won't make it!" shouted Jason loudly.
"I'm the leader that means I have to be the first to put my neck out, I have to be the brave one even if I'm afraid, and I have to be ready to face even myself…" The others looked at him in shock. Kevin's eyes flashed and they stumbled backward started to turn. Kevin leaned against the zebra. "Let's go Shima Unimon!"
The others retreated in the opposite direction.

The beast was watching as one of the puny digi-destined started to charge forward. It was the one with the Shima Unimon, the one that nearly destroyed him in Alpine Tundra. He would learn his lesson. The beast lifted its arm and it morphed into a cannon.
"Crimson Massacre!" a comet of crimson energy flashed forward and exploded in front of the zebra as it skidded down the sand dune. The human and the zebra rolled down the rest of the way down.
"Ugly, isn't he?" gasped the human as he looked up at the beast.
"I've not seen many uglier," agreed the zebra.
"Fools, you cannot defeat me," growled the beast loudly.
"Yeah, just like we wouldn't beat Phelesmon, or those generals," Kevin looked at the beast. "Sure we may be scared sometimes, and we may be pretty weak at other times, but there are ways to beat the likes of you, we just have to find it. We have friends, and loved ones, the other digimon are relying on us, and we have promises to keep, and I'll be damned if we're going to let you crush everyone's hopes! I'll stand up to you! I'm not backing down, I'm not afraid, this is something I have to do!" Suddenly there was an orange flare from Kevin's chest. He looked at it. He didn't know exactly what was going on, but he knew it was good, and he knew it was strong. He pulled the crest out of his shirt and looked at it. The sun emblem was blazing like the real deal. The boy held up the tag and crest to Shima Unimon. "Are you ready buddy?"
The zebra nodded and lowered his horn to the beast. "Let's get him!"
"Ha, you're going to hurt me with your pony?" chuckled the odd voice of the beast. He pointed his cannon morphed arm to the zebra, "Say your prayers."
"They're said," replied Shima Unimon, "and they've been answered." The crest flashed its power over the zebra and there was a bright flare of orange. "Shima Unimon digivolve to…..Cyberdramon!" A, stout, muscular, black dragon with crimson wings ascended from the light and dropped down between the beast and Kevin. It had a metal face plate over its eyes and large spikes coming out of its forearms. "I am Cyberdramon, the true Ultimate form of Shima Unimon, the strength of courage powers my Desolation Claw and my Desolation Claw and my Cyber Nail!"
"Pathetic!" growled the beast and it lifted its cannon. "Crimson…"
"Desolation Claw!" The black dragon slashed its muscular arms through the air. The spikes on his arms ripped the dimensions and drawing forth emerald energy. The energy collected in the dragon's cupped hands and he pushed forward. The ball of emerald energy crashed into the beast's chest. The creature staggered backwards as Cyberdramon watched.
The beast growled loudly and opened its chest unit. Cyberdramon snarled and took a step back in surprise. The beast only chuckled, "Such an attack won't hurt me; I am near invincible!" The lightning rod cannon charged, "Justice Lightning!" a harpoon of energy lanced forward but the black dragon shifted to the left. A second blast fired, prompting a slide to the right.
Cyberdramon pushed off the ground and flying low weaved through the blasts. Its claws clenched and a green orb filled it hands. "CYBER NAIL!" the orb elongated as it past through a bubble of dimensional distress and then plunged through the chest of the beast. The creature released and anger roar and drove its morphed arm into the side of the dragon's head. Cyberdramon skidded backward and then ripped through the dimensions. "Desolation CLAW!" the emerald blast erupted through the hole in the beast's chest.
A pulsing ball of light in the creature's chest cracked and then the beast's body started to tear apart. Cyberdramon dropped back next to Kevin and growled.
"Woah…" whispered Kevin.
"My Desolation Claw causes fractures in the dimensions, it seems we messed with his little dimension warping!" chuckled Cyberdramon. The dragon stopped chuckling as the parts of the beast's body started to get sucked into a single ball. There was small implosion and then a massive amount of suction. Cyberdramon curled his wings and grabbed Kevin as the boy was pulled forward. The black dragon tried to fly away but the vacuum was too great and the warrior was drawn into it.

There was a flash of light from where Kevin had gone. Brendan screamed about a dimensional instability and started running for the battle scene. When they got there though, it was too late; there was nothing left but sand and rubble. There was no sign of the beast, Kevin or Kevin's partner.
"No…" whispered Michelle quietly. Tears filled her eyes.
"We can't think that…we have no proof that he's…" Brendan let the idea linger unsaid.
"We have to have hope…" Mark walked behind Michelle and gently put his hands around her shoulders in a comforting hug.
"Idiot…" grumbled Steven as his blue eyes hardened. "He shouldn't have…"
"He was trying to protect us all," whispered Jason quietly. "He…he…"
"He can't be…" Amy was shaking her head tossing her black hair about.
Janet looked down at her tag and crest. Part of her curled up inside like a tight ball. It was her fault, she knew it. "He had no right to go and do that…without us…"
They stood there, unable to move from the scene that was stretched out in front of them. They were unable to stop the collective images that played on the curling sands of the desert, letting their imaginations fill in the blanks.
"Oh, brother no…" shouted Michelle as she staggered forward; tears ran down her cheeks. "Please! NO!"
888
Kevin rubbed his head as he sat up. He couldn't remember what the heck happened exactly. Cyberdramon had won and then they got sucked up into something. There were whirls of light and some sort of tidal wave and then he felt like he'd conked his head on something. He looked up. He was in front of the porch of his house. He turned slightly. Their strange neighbor was walking up the street.
"Are you ok, Kevin?" called the Japanese man loudly. Kevin nodded not wanting to bring the Japanese man into the problem; the man was weird and would talk to himself and rave sometimes about government conspiracies about monsters and demons and such. No one really paid that much attention to him, and he never hurt anyone it was just uncomfortable to be near him.
"I'm fine…." Kevin winced. Something was moving underneath him. He moved and there in front of his eyes was Koromon. A little flattened but none the worse for wear.
The Japanese man walked up closer and slightly gasped at the sight of Koromon, and then as if trying to cover up his surprise bent over and helped Kevin up and then picked up Koromon, much to the horror of Kevin.
"My…what a funny looking soccer ball," said the man loudly as he inspected Koromon. He looked at Kevin, winked and then handed the pink digimon back. "Be careful, those kinds of soccer balls, like a lot of food, and well, I always found that hamburgers were the best for them, yep hamburgers with cheese and lettuce." The man winked again and then went into his house.
Kevin was half scared to death and slowly looked at Koromon. It took a few seconds for the more important fact to hit him. "Oh my God…I'm HOME!"

AN: HA! I remain even with the series because, I'm mean. There will be no search for the ninth child, per se. A different sort of battle will boil in the homes of our heroes. It's one of those, the situations are similar but the reasons behind the situations are different.
Alforce: Yes und cliff'anger! As you can see Lucemon recognized Owlmon's digivolution more from a historical context than from actually 'knowing' him. I all of a sudden started to shape Goblimon's character to be much more like Jaken, from Inuyasha. Jaken is the vassal of Inuyasha's half brother Sesshoumaru, and is a little, green, creature that has an odd, infatuation with Sesshoumaru-sama, an infatuation that Sesshoumaru, doesn't really show back other than a slight interest that the green thing is ok and protecting Sesshoumaru's stuff.
As to Fall of Harmony, you see you asked for an explanation, and look at what you got, a forty four chapter story, with an average of about six pages a chapter that's like 240 pages! Guess I kind of overreacted…heh. I even brought in the big bad at the end of Fall of Harmony, but I hope to have added questions and not just answers. Thanks for reviewing for both.
Dark Qiviut: Oh yeah I noticed that yesterday morning, I was updating some stuff and happened to look at my stats…which reminds me….
I noticed a couple of people that had me on their author alert that I don't recognize…I won't give any names…hehe I know about thee though hehe…Don't worry, I bet you are like me and don't like being parrots or worse yet flamers or you just kind of casually like the story and really don't have any real interest in speaking. I find I don't like making a review just to congratulate an author, I like to have something to say…or at least have examples of the greatness, or some badnessof the writing…I know I have yet to review any of Higuchimon's fics because yeah, they are so good, and Higuchimon has so many people drooling already…so don't feel pressured, I understand…
