Piedmon slowly strutted around the room. "I'm sorry it took so long to
reveal my presence, but I've always been a sucker for dramatic entrances."
Cody looked around nervously. Piedmon was the one of if not the most powerful digimon TK and Kari ever faced. He summoned up his courage and looked Piedmon in the eye. "What do you want, you demented clown?"
"Well, Ladydevimon order me to capture you digidestined alive." Piedmon removed a sword from his back. He ran his finger up the blade. "But I want something different. Ladydevimon is not as powerful as she might believe, and I hate you more than you realize Cody."
Cody realized in fear what Piedmon was talking about, "You're going to k- kill me?" He stuttered out.
"In all likely hood yes, but first, your friends." Piedmon snapped his fingers and one of the walls flew open. Four Vilemon and four Gazimon came out. "You, take the Agumon and girl to seperate cells. Do not hurt them. That is a pleasure reserved for me."
"You got it boss!" The Gazimon grabbed Kari, while the Vilemon picked up Agumon. The micro army of thugs ran out the door, slamming it behind them. Had they been paying closer attention, they may have noticed another figure in the hallway, stealthily making his way to the room they just left.
"Now where were we, ah yes!" Piedmon twirled his sword in his hand. The room turned dark, so only the floor was lighted around the two. "I believe in fair play, I am the dark nobleman after all. No crown tricks, no key- chain making, no trump swords. Just a simple one-on-one duel. I choose swords as my choice of weapons."
Cody shook once in fear, but he bit his lip in determination. He grabbed his grandpa's sword from behind his back, and struck a defensive stance. He had never fought with a live edged weapon before, and certainly not in a fight to the death, but he had no choice. "Bring it on." Cody defiantly replied.
"Boy she's heavier than she looks." One Gazimon mentioned on Kari's left arm. They had dragged the young girl with some effort to a cell.
"Tell me about." Gazimon two replied on her right arm.
"Well we are alredy at the cell." Gazimon three replied as she look at the cell door. "Some one open it up."
"Got it." Gazimon four let go of Kari's right leg, and reached for the keys. The door made a click as the lock was undone. "Ok , throw her in." Gazimon four.
"I've got a better idea!" Kari suddenly kicked out with both legs.
"OOFFF!" The two Gazimon at her feet took a kick to there stomach, and went flying in the cell.
"Hey she's playing possom!" Gazimon one cried as he Kari twisted out of his grasp suddenly. "Whoa!" Kari grabbed Gazimon's arm, and threw him. The two Gazimon in the cell where just getting up, when another Gazimon went flying into them, knocking them down again.
Kari was up quick, and slammed the cell door shut, sealing them in. "Take a load off!"
"Witch!" The final Gazimon stepped back, and his fur began to spark.
Kari reached on her chest, and pulled up her camera. "Smile!" A flash of light filled the dark hallways.
"Aaaahhh!" Gazimon clunched his eyes, seeing spots. "OOFFF!" KAri kicked Gazimon hard as she could in the stomach. Gazimon went down on his knees.
"Ok now!" Kari looked around, and saw some chains and manacles, obviously for transporting prisionors. "We are going to rescue my friends." Kari grabbed Gazimon's hands, and latched them with the metal wristbands. Kari was normally more peacful, but seeing her brother mad, Izzy kidnapped, had hardened her. "Any problems?" Kari asked, glaring down at her captive.
"Not one." Gazimon replied nodding.
"I must say I'm impressed." Piedmon brought down his sword again. Cody grunted as Piedmon brought his weight down on his blocking technique. Cody twisted his blade to the side, deflecting the attack. Cody quickly brought his blade up, but was blocked by Piedmon's sword again. Piedmon seemed more interested in toying with him then killing him at this point. If Cody could keep Piedmon fighting, waiting for a slip, a way around his solid defense, he might be able to win. Piedmon continued his rant. "Your skill in the art of Kendo is incredible. I can only think of three who match you ability. Myself included of course, Delta, your own dear grandfather." Piedmon jumped back. "He put up a valiant fight, you should be proud."
"You heartless creature!" Cody growled and pulled his sword back, thrusting for Piedmon's chest. Piedmon moved out of the way, tripping Cody as he moved forward.
Piedmon raised his sword and brought it for a downward slash. "I will not be insulted by a pathetic child!"
Cody rolled to his knees and blocked the blow. Cody struggled to keep Piedmon away. Piedmon's skill was only matched by his strength and speed. Piedmon was in fact only attacking with the flat part of his sword, just to keep him alive. He needed to throw of his concentration. "Well, while we're insulting one another, Kari told me about you. When did Ladydevimon start being your boss and you became her bitch?"
Piedmon growled and removed his sword of Cody's block. "She raised an army, and deleted the other Dark Masters just to set an example for me. She agreed to let me live, since I was an excellent at strategy and a powerful ally." Piedmon raised his sword over Cody's head, this time ready to attack with the razor-edged blade. Cody raised his sword to block the attack. "She reduced me to a mere servant of hers on that council, serving with you pathetic humans! And I think I'll regain a shred of my dignity, by destroying you!"
Piedmon brought his sword down. Cody, in a surprise maneuver, dropped his sword and pushed himself back. Piedmon's sword moved in front of him, barely an inch in front of his nose. The mega digimon's blade stuck in the floor. Piedmon had to pull the weapon out of the ground. It took a split second. The slip Cody was waiting for. Cody's hands moved without him realizing it, striking the base of Piedmon's head as he was bent over to retrieve his weapon. It was the perfect killing stroke.
"Nicely done." Piedmon laughed. Cody's jaw dropped as his sword rested against Piedmon's neck. Piedmon brushed the sword off his shoulder with a single finger. "Had I been human, my head would be little more than a soccer ball. Fortunately, I am a mega digimon, and my hide can take a lot more than a slash from a mere child with a dull blade." Piedmon brought his palm back and backhanded Cody across the jaw. Cody was thrown against the wall, a hail of key chains landing on him. Cody shook his head and began to get to his feet, but Piedmon grabbed him by the neck and held him three feet up against the wall so he was at eye level with Piedmon. "You should have gotten a better class of weapon. The edge of my blade is a mere molecule thick. It can cut through anything, even digizoidium." Piedmon drew his sword back with his other hand. "I'll give you a demonstration of my sword effectiveness as I disembowel you."
Cody closed his eyes, not wanting to see the blow coming. He heard the wind breaking as a blade rushed through the air, and the grip on his neck tighten. Cody opened his eyes and looked down. The sword tip was an inch from his neck, but then he followed the blade up to its source. He ended up looking the same place at Piedmon, as a blade jetted out of the mega digimon's stomach at angle, pointing at Cody's face. Piedmon dropped the sword he was holding as it fell to the ground with a clang. Cody landed roughly a split second later. Piedmon fell to his knees as someone pulled the weapon out of Piedmon's back. Piedmon turned around and coughed, "Delta. I should have known."
Delta smiled at Peidmon's weakened form. He brought the sword back ready for another attack. Peidmon tried to pick up his own sword, but couldn't. "You did Alpha, that's why you tried to kill me." Delta punctuated the sentence by striking Piedmon at the base of the neck. A look of surprise and anger crossed his face, shortly before his form broke up. After the last molecule of Piedmon floated away, Delta brought his sword back. He ran a finger across the flat edge, admiring it. "When cut with a laser and forged from digizoidium from the digital world, it's a superb weapon." Delta rested his weapon on the ground. "Cody, is it not?"
Cody looked over the newly arrived figure. "But, Izzy said you were dead!"
"Not quite, I die hard." Delta held up his weapon pointing the tip at Cody's throat. "I imagine you do too."
Cody looked around nervously. Piedmon was the one of if not the most powerful digimon TK and Kari ever faced. He summoned up his courage and looked Piedmon in the eye. "What do you want, you demented clown?"
"Well, Ladydevimon order me to capture you digidestined alive." Piedmon removed a sword from his back. He ran his finger up the blade. "But I want something different. Ladydevimon is not as powerful as she might believe, and I hate you more than you realize Cody."
