Kanius: Yay! Another chapy for the Pharaohmon Arc! I hope I didn't make you wait any longer. Now, we've already covered the America/Kaiba Arc and currently set for the Metaldevidramon Arc! First, I'd like to thank Ninetailsuk for allowing me to use the villain Metaldevidramon and his mega form (Wardevidramon). The same goes for Youkai Youko for letting me use Inumon (and his digivolution forms), Himura and Yui! Thanks a lot! You've managed to pull me out through my troubles of writing this fic! That's enough of my rambling. Let's get it with the fic! Enjoy! -;
The Awakening of Metaldevidramon! Pharaohmon's Final Resolution!
March 22, 2003
Shibuya District. Local restaurant. 3:25 P.M.
It was now late in the afternoon. Usual day to day activities were still in session despite school not in session on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. However, there were many others still at work. Makoto Kino, the tall, brunette amazon of the Sailor Senshi, was hard at work with her restaurant. She currently co-owns it and receives a handful of minimum to support herself and her friends staying with her.
She decided to take a break from her hard work of lifting food trays and sat down at a table where her fellow Senshi friends waited. Makoto sighed a relief and rubbed her back.
"Had a rough day, Makoto?" Minako asked with a smile.
"It must really be hard," Hotaru replied. "But you must receive a pretty good pay."
"Of course, I'm a co-owner of this joint," Makoto spoke. "Usually I have to run the place when the owner is out of town. Don't even get me started on Friday and Saturday nights. They're hell…"
"You're a bartender, aren't you?" Setsuna asked.
Makoto replied to the older woman with a nod.
"By the way, Rei, have you heard anything from Ami?" Setsuna turned her attention to the raven-haired female.
"No. I haven't. It's really starting to worry me. What if… What if she was unable to save her," Rei said. "Damn… Pharaohmon is really getting to me."
"Don't let him get to you. I have good faith in Ami. We all do. We want you to do the same," Hotaru replied.
"You're right. I shouldn't be hard on myself. I trust Ami and know that she'll bring my younger sibling out of harm."
Just as she was about to sit up from her chair, Rei stopped and listened to a beep. It was coming from her communicator watch. Rei immediately answers the distress signal from her watch. To her surprise, the distress cal came from Ami in America.
"You guys! It's Ami!" Rei cried out.
Everyone at the table gathered around Rei. The raven-haired Senshi answered the call and communicated directly with Ami.
"Ami! Thank goodness! We're glad that you've made it through. Did you manage to find my sister?"
"We ran into trouble, but everything was well taken care of. You're sister is safe."
"Oh, thank goodness… How about you? "
"I'll do fine. I've been through tougher foes before."
"You don't mean to tell us that you beat all of Pharaohmon's cronies on your own?!" Minako asked frantically. "We've had to fight tooth and nail with those guys!"
"No, Mina. We had a little help from some guy and his dragon. It's hard to explain, but fill you in on everything later."
"All that matters at the moment is Rei's sister being safe," Makoto said. "Way to go, Ami!"
"Ami. If it's no trouble, can you attempt to send my sister here to Japan?"
"Rei. You're asking a lot from me. She would need a citizenship to Japan. Besides, it won't be that easy. She does live with your father."
"I don't care for my father. He left me behind and did not even bother to let me know that I have a younger sister. The poor girl deserves to know that she has a sister."
"Rei… I'll do everything I can. First of all, I'll have to ask her if she has a citizenship to Japan, which might permit her to Japan. I'll have to accompany her."
"Thank you, Ami. I really don't know how to repay you."
"You don't. You're my friend and I wouldn't let you down. We're in this together. We'll fight this Pharaohmon and triumph over him like many of our past enemies."
"Rei. Aren't you excited? You'll get to see your sister!" Minako said gleefully. "I'm so happy for you!"
"Wow. I just hope you two get along," Makoto said. "We wouldn't want another repeat of Usagi and ChibiUsa."
"Funny," Rei cynically replied. "Ami. Be sure to remain in contact with us and keep us up to date. We'll be sure to prevent Pharaohmon from finding her."
"Understood. Just give us another day or so."
"Ok, good luck."
Once she finished her conversation with Ami, the raven-haired girl turned off her watch and smiled. Makoto and Minako came to her side to rub her shoulders.
"We're so happy for you, Rei!" they exclaimed. "Rei has a sister!"
"You said that they should arrive here within a days time?" Setsuna asked.
"Yeah. If they take a plane, it should take them about nine hours from San Francisco to Tokyo."
"I'm so excited to meet your sister, Rei!" said Hotaru. "I can finally have someone to talk to without ChibiUsa around."
Rei let out another sigh of relief. She was glad to know that she would have the opportunity to greet her younger sibling. At the same time, she would have to risk protecting her from Pharaohmon himself.
"First things first, you guys. We have to stick around and find Pharaohmon. If we take him out right away, then my sister can get here safely," Rei said. "I suggest we meet together at Shibuya park. We'll meet tonight at 9:00. We all know he likes to play his little games at night."
"Hotaru. Setsuna. Will you two be able to help us?" Makoto asked.
"We'll be sure to be there!" Hotaru replied. "Right, Setsuna?"
"Don't worry. We wouldn't miss out on this opportunity. It would be great to finally put an end to this whole ordeal."
"Um, just wondering," Minako spoke up. "What about those digimon warriors? They said that they would be willing to lend us a hand. Why don't we ask them to bring Rei's sister and Ami here?"
The other Senshi all turned towards the blonde with questionable looks. However, Rei stood out amongst them and nodded in agreement.
"For once, Minako… I agree with you… You came up with such a brilliant idea. I'm sure they can provide a form of transportation."
"Yeah. Besides, wherever we go, they are bound to follow us," replied Makoto. "That way they can do us a favor while we take care of our common enemy."
"It's the perfect strategy," said Rei. "All right then. It's settled. We'll meet at seven o'clock at Shibuya Park. We'll discuss arrangements with those legendary warriors and the rest is history."
The Senshi each nodded their heads in agreement. The plan was now set and ready to be implemented. They were to meet with the legendary warriors to make arrangements, in order to retrieve Cammy and Ami. Meanwhile, the Senshi settle their differences with Pharaohmon once and for all. Rei came close to killing Lance/Pharaohmon a week ago. Now, this would be her opportunity to finish where she left off.
However, the Senshi were not the one group who had overheard their conversation. There was a group of middle-grade children sitting together after finishing a large dish of pizza. Yes, it was Takuya and the other legendary warrior children. They listened to the conversation.
"You know what we have to do guys," Takuya said.
"Agreed," replied Kouji. "Anything to prevent Pharaohmon from carrying out his evil desires."
"If it had been my sister, I would do everything to bring her to safety. Count me in," said Izumi.
The children each agreed on the plan set for tonight. It was unfortunate since the Senshi will be left to handle Pharaohmon's forces on their own. However, they would do Rei a favor and retrieve her sibling.
Unfortunately, there was an individual who listened to their conversation. Felinismon was under the disguise of a raven-haired businesswoman. She sits up and walks out of the restaurant with an evil grin.
"Thanks for opening your big mouths, idiots," she said under her breathe. "It's a good thing this disguise suppresses my dark presence. Pharaohmon will be pleased to know where we will strike tonight. Hmmm. On the other hand, he was planning to awaken Metaldevidramon in Shinjuku. I think this is the perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. We can eliminate the Tamers and those Senshi brats all in one full swoop. This is too perfect."
With a gleeful laugh, Felinismon walks amongst the crowd in her disguise and proceeds on to meet with Lance. They would set up their plans into full motion for the evening.
Shinjuku Hospital. 4:15 P.M.
The hospital room containing Lance's parents has been calm and quiet. There was no activity since the other night Lance had occupied it. The dormant humans remained in a comatose state on their beds.
However, that peace ended as soon as a figure came walking in through the door. It was revealed to be the teen himself. Lance came walking over to the seat sitting next to his mother's bed. He sits down and placed a hand over his mother's cold hands.
"Yes, rest easy, mother… I'm only letting you survive with a tiny dose of your own life energy. Once I leave this vessel's body, then I'm coming back for the rest of it."
Felinismon immediately appears in the room. The teen sensed her presence and turns to face the female digimon.
"Felinismon. I take it that you were able to gain some information. Anything we're supposed to know?"
"I have some rather intriguing news for you, my lord."
"Do tell. 'I'm all ears.'"
"Ah, I overheard a conversation with those Sailor brats. They're planning to make arrangements with the legendary warriors to retrieve Rei Hino's sibling."
"Oh? So, they're actually planning on bringing that brat here?"
"Yes. The Sailors also plan on confronting you, Lord Pharaohmon."
"Again? They want to settle where we left off? Yes, I do recall Rei nearly incinerating this body. This is great news. I can finally extract some retaliation against those tramps."
"But, don't you remember that we must awaken Metaldevidramon? Isn't that our first priority?"
"Yes, and finding him will not be too difficult. As a matter off act, I've already pinpointed the location of his tomb."
"Oh, I see. You're always one step ahead of me, Lord Pharaohmon."
"And you just realized that now? Since Babimon failed to capture the girl, I realized that he was merely expendable waste. He never really carried true to his word. I know for a fact that Metaldevidramon will not let us down."
"And you've him the task to eliminate the Tamers? We shouldn't underestimate them."
"But you forget. I battled them the other night."
"That was just two of them…"
"It doesn't matter. I still single-handedly defeated them and another digimon named Inumon. I let them off for the time being. However, Metaldevidramon will finish off where I started. He alone will be sufficient to crushing the Tamers."
"Then it would be wise for us to locate his tomb right away before those Tamers get in the way."
"Patience. Those Sailor Senshi are bound to be finding me in Shibuya. That is where they will be waiting, am I correct?"
"Yes, they'll be in Shibuya park by nine o' clock."
"Excellent. I rather much enjoy destroying them at night. It simply is a thrill for me."
"There's another concern, my lord. Yugi Muto. You haven't forgotten about him, right?"
"Oh, Yugi Muto… No. As a matter of fact, you can take care of that boy."
"Me?"
"I want you to duel him for the possession of the Millennium Puzzle. If you can somehow upend the boy, then you can gain possession of his puzzle. I'll give you this duel disk," Lance said as the latest duel disk device appears around his right hand. "Remember, you were the one who stole them on that same night we infiltrated Hypnos."
"Yes. How can I forget?" the female responded.
Lance unhooks the duel disk's straps from his arm and hands the oversized device to Felinismon. She takes it and attached it around her left arm. The teen also managed to pull out a deck of cards from his left pocket and hands it to Felinismon.
"I've managed to collect some effective cards during the day. You can use them in your duel."
"Thank you, my lord. But do I really need this duel disk? I can simply summon them through my powers."
"You give that to Yugi personally."
"Personally?"
"Confront the boy at anyway possible and challenge him right away. I'd recommend an area where you two cane duel without any intrusion. You cannot fail me, Felinismon. This is our last chance to capture that item. By taking the puzzle, I can gain an infinite amount of power to release my dark soul from his vessel. Yes… I hope everyone of those no good fools realize that their efforts were futile!"
"Yes, my lord. You leave Yugi Muto with me. I'll personally strip him of his precious Millennium Puzzle."
"That's good to know. Because if you fail me, then I will personally strip you of what you value most: you're own life."
Felinismon was taken back by the teen's threats, but she maintained her pride and bowed her head in obedience.
"Oh and there's one more thing that's been troubling me. That boy and the girl."
"You mean the boy with the Inumon?"
"Yes. It seems he has temporarily aligned himself with the Tamers. Wouldn't be just great to see Metladevidramon finally rid me of that nuisance?"
"Yes, it would benefit us greatly. It would be less work for us to worry about."
The teen walks over towards the window and pushes away the curtains. He gazes upon the city with an evil smirk.
"Enjoy your afternoon fun, my friends. Because, tonight shall be when you are all disposed of and I can finally carry on with my conquest. Felinismon, it is time. We must accomplish our task. You have a job to do. Find Yugi and defeat him to gain possession of his puzzle. I shall awaken Metaldevidramon. Report to me if anything turns up. Good luck."
With that said, Lance quickly disappears from sight and left Felinismon behind. The female turns towards the comatose adults with curiosity.
"So, these are the boy's parents? They're barely managing to hold onto their last source of life energy. My lord… Was it really necessary to extract the boy's parents of their souls?"
Felinismon simply shrugged her shoulders and vanished from sight. She set off to find Yugi, but would have to go to Domino City to do so. She plans to duel the self-proclaimed "King of Games" and to take away his prized possession: the Millennium Puzzle.
Shinjuku Metropolitan Area. 4:35 P.M.
Standing grouped together away from the Metropolis buildings, the Tamers were discussing the conflict that they were involved in the other night. Takato and Rika were lucky to have survived an encounter with Pharaohmon. Most importantly, they had finally found the identity of the person containing the evil sorcerer's soul.
Along with Takato and Rika at the moment were Henry, Kazu, Kenta, Jeri and their digimon partners. Takato had made an arrangement with Himura to meet him at this exact area, but it seems Himura was running late.
"So, when is this Himura guy going to show up?" Kazu asked. "I can't believe you had to drag us all the way out here for nothing. I was just about to play some Metal Gear Solid!"
"Kazu. You've been playing that game for weeks. Why not take a break for once?" Henry asked.
"I don't know he isn't the only one obsessed in video games. You're looking at the "King of Games" here!" Terriermon said with enthusiasm.
"More like the 'King of Lames'," Rika muttered.
"Respect my authority!!" the rabbit dog mimicked the great Cartman.
"Terriermon! That's enough! Do you want me to bring along Suzie?"
"Um, no thanks. I don't think I need to be sent to Suzie's chamber of horrors. Lopmon is suitable to take my place. I feel so sorry for her."
Kenta looked over and noticed two figures walking down to their spot. He immediately pointed out to the two figures and pats Takato on the shoulder.
"What is it, Kenta?"
"Is that the Himura guy you're talking about? You told me to look out for a guy with a bandage over his eye."
"Yeah, that would be him. Is heading down towards our direction?"
"Hey! Takato!" the boy calls out while waving out. "Sorry we're late!"
"It's not a problem!" Takato exclaimed. "We're just glad to know that you were able to show up."
"Hi everyone!" Yui said with a giggle. "I brought some homemade cookies for us!"
"Yay! Cookies! I'd like to try some!" Guilmon cheered.
"Make sure to leave some for me, pal," Terriermon said as he nudged the reptile's tail.
"Guys. Allow me to introduce another fellow Digimon Tamer," Takato stated. "This is Himura. That dog digimon over there is Inumon."
"Nice to see you guys," Inumon said. "I'm sure we'll become great buds. Oh, hey, Renamon!"
"Uh… Hello…"
"Renamon. Just take it easy," Rika muttered. "I know he's a pervert, but there's no need for you to kill the poor guy."
"I'll make sure he never grabs another woman's butt again. That I promise."
"This little girl is Himura's sister. Her name is Yui."
"Pleased to meet all of you," Yui said with a bow. "Here's a batch of homemade cookies. You're more than welcome to try some."
"Don't mind if we do!" Kazu and Kenta exclaimed in unison.
"Hey! Make sure to save some for me!" Terriermon butted in.
Renamon looked the other way to find Inumon staring at her with a grin. The neon-furred fox turned away and rolled her eyes.
"C'mon, Renamon. 'Let's let by gones be by gones'? Please?"
"I don't know if I can trust a womanizer like you ever again."
"Aw, Renamon. If it offended you in anyway, I apologize! Really I am sorry!"
"Save it until the next time zone."
As soon as everyone settled down, the entire group gathered together and ate some of Yui's cookies. They approved of her cookies. After they finished consuming every crumb of cookies, Takato and Rika explained everything that had taken place the other night. Himura proceeded to tell everyone about himself and his partner.
"Wow, so you have a digivice of a different model?" Henry asked. "Yeah, it definitely contrasts from ours."
"How long have you two been partners?" Kenta wondered. "You have to be quite an experienced Tamer."
"I've been Himura's partner for about two years," Inumon said. "Though, we didn't get involved in many conflicts with enemies until about half a year ago."
"I've kept Inumon from involving himself in battle for a while until I felt comfortable," Himura explained. "I wasn't sure he was going to survive such harsh conditions."
"But I helped Himura take good care of Inumon," Yui replied. "He was so cute when we found him! I carried him as if he were a baby!"
"Aww, you didn't have to say that," Inumon said with a blush.
Terriermon, Guardromon and Guilmon chuckled to themselves after listening to Yui's comments. Inumon overheard this and gave them a menacing glare.
"Don't make me come over there!"
"Oh no! Let's not upset Mr. 'I wuv to be huggled by wittle Yui'!" Terriermon mimicked the canine.
"I'll be more than happy to have you for lunch, rabbit."
"Ack! No! Rabbits are bad for you!" the dog-rabbit cried out. "Besides, you wouldn't want to know where I've been."
"Cut it out you guys!" Takato calls out. "We're here to discuss important matters. Anyways, we've been dealing with a group of creeps led by Pharaohmon. Himura, have you had any long term conflicts with this guy?"
"Not at all. We didn't even know about him until Inumon and I confronted that kid. Yui was the first to find out that the kid was possessed by Pharaohmon's evil spirit."
"Whoa, you mean that girl can see the supernatural?!" Kazu exclaimed. "Well, somebody call the Excorist…"
"To tell you the truth, I was born with this gift," Yui said. "I didn't want to tell you, Himura. If I did, I was afraid you'd abandon me, Himura."
"You know that's not true, Yui. I'll never leave you behind. We stick together. That's a promise."
Yui nodded towards her elder brother with a smile.
"Anywho, what are we supposed to do now? I don't suppose we start to find any clues on Lance's whereabouts," Henry said. "We don't even know where he lives."
"We're going to have to search hard," Takato replied. "We can't let him out of our sights."
"Um, just a suggestion," Jeri spoke up. "Why don't we just stick to patrolling the park."
"Well, gee, why didn't I think of that?!" Kazu wondered.
"I think that would be for the best," Himura said. "You guys can patrol the park."
"What about you?" asked Kenta.
"Yui, Inumon and myself will go check around the other side of town. I'll be sure to contact you by cell phone, Takato."
"That sounds like a plan. Besides, it's not even curfew time," Takato replied. "Is that clear everyone? We meet back at the park's entrance by nine o' clock!"
"Just make sure you two don't go goofing off," Rika remarked towards Kazu and Kenta.
"Hey! Don't treat us as if we were your kids!" Kazu exclaimed in defiance.
"Um, Kazu. I wouldn't question the Digimon Queen," Kenta muttered nervously. "As far as she's concerned, she OWNS us."
"Knock it off, guys," Henry calls out. "Terriermon. That applies to you, too."
"Dang, you never let me have any fun."
"Yui. Let's get going, Himura said.
"Right."
"C'mon, Inumon! Inumon?"
When Himura turned around to face Inumon, he found the canine digimon winking at Renamon. Before the fox could even attempt to knock him out senseless, Himura grabs Inumon by his tail and drags him along.
"C'mon, lover boy."
"We'll see each other again, sometime?"
"Will he just shut his mouth?!" Renamon thought. "You'll ever regret touching me, mongrel."
"Renamon! We're leaving now," Rika said. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Okay, then. We have to patrol the park for a while."
"I know. Let's get this over with."
The girl and her partner departed to search the park in search of anything peculiar. Himura continued dragging Inumon along.
"Silly Inumon," Yui giggled. "We have work to do."
"You're embarrassing me, pal," Himura muttered. "I'd rather be facing Pharaohmon than putting up with this."
"The question is, where will Pharaohmon strike? Will he actually be in the park? Those guys better watch their backs," Inumon thought with concern.
As soon as everyone scattered across the park, a dark figure sat on a tree branch and glanced upon the Tamers with curiosity. A sinister grin formed on the person's face and he immediately sets off into the park.
"Finally, the time of Metaldevidramon's awakening has come to pass. Those Tamers will at last be out of my way. Shadow Metalgarurumon, I hope you are going to live up to your expectations. I leave Himura and Inumon to you."
Lance quickly noticed Takato and Guilmon in the open distance. He stepped behind a tree and concealed himself from sight.
"Guilmon? What is it?"
"I thought I heard something."
"Well, is it anything associated with Pharaohmon?"
"Maybe a squirrel."
"Guilmon. Let's get serious for once. We're here to look for Lance."
"What if he's not here?"
"Then, we'll just have to search for him another day. At least, we can find some clues tonight."
"Those fools. They have no idea of my whereabouts. It will be easy for me to release Metaldevidramon. Now, his tomb is supposed to be hidden behind a cliff wall near the tunnels. It's not too far from here. I had better hurry along."
Lance disappears into the forest without detection and finds himself closer towards the sleeping tomb of Metaldevidramon.
Meanwhile, Kazu and Guardromon were patrolling the area around the pond. Guadromon started walking through the pond but started sinking.
"Um, a little help here, Kazu? Kazu!"
"Guardromon. You can pull yourself out of there. I'm not going to help you out of there again."
"Um, I knew that. I have boosters."
"Doofus…"
Terriermon sat on top of a tree branch with a pair of binoculars. His human partner simply stood beside the tree with his right hand over his face.
"Terriermon. You're not going to find anything through that tactic. Lance can simply hide within the forests."
"I know, but it's really cool to get a good view of the entire park. Come on up and take a look at this."
"Yeah, that's swell. But we're supposed to be looking for a maniac kid possessed by an ancient, evil sorcerer."
"Like I've said before, you never let me have any fun."
Lance rushes out through the forests with rapid, cunning speed. The digimon had failed to pick up on this activity and continued searching. This gave Lance a chance to scurry over towards the spot, which Metaldevidramon lied dormant.
Suddenly, Lance stopped as Renamon appears next to a tree. He leaps away and disappears from sight. Renamon picked up onto the sudden movement and turned around. Her senses had managed to pick up on Lance's whereabouts.
"Rika! I think I found our culprit!" Renamon exclaimed. "He's heading over towards the tunnels."
The red-haired Tamer came running out and stops by her digimon's side. She pulls out her cell phone and calls for Takato.
"Good job, Renamon. We're finally getting somewhere."
"Rika! Did you find anything?" Takato's voice was overheard from Rika's cell phone.
"Renamon said that she felt Lance and predicted that his whereabouts are near the tunnels."
"The tunnels? Guilmon and I are not that far from the area. I'll tell you what. You gather everyone else and let them know about the situation. You leave Lance with me."
"Want us to lend you a hand? You can't defeat Lance on your own."
"Which is why I said to gather everyone together before going to the area where I'll confront Lance. Hurry! There isn't any time to waste."
"Right. You hear that Renamon? We go and let everyone know about our discovery."
"I hear you on that one, Rika."
Elsewhere in Shinjuku Park
Takato raced out with Guilmon ahead as they set off towards the tunnel area. The boy raced with every ounce of breath and hoped to find Lance before the teen had disappeared from sight once again. Suddenly, Guilmon stopped and growled deeply. Takato's eyes widen once he had sights on the possessed teen.
Lance was standing on top of the hill next to the tunnel. This was the exact tunnel where Guilmon hid within when he first digivolved into Growlmon a year ago. This not only brought back memories, but also brought Takato to the realization of his task. The teen found the hiding spot of the dormant beast known as Metaldevidramon.
"Lance! Stop at what it is you are planning to do!" Takato cries out. "What is the purpose of your presence here?"
"Just make it easy on yourself and step down," Guilmon demanded. "Let's not resort to violence, but you leave us no choice."
Lance merely chuckled at the digimon's idle threats and placed his hand over the steep hill. Suddenly, his dark magic managed to seep through the hill and eats away at the mound piles. Takato and Guilmon looked on as the mound was completely disintegrated and revealed a digital field containing a massive dragon-like beast.
"What in the world is that thing?!" Takato cries out. "It's a digital field, but what's that thing inside?"
Suddenly, Guilmon's body started to tremble with anxiety and his eyes became feral. The goggle head stepped in front of his partner and points out to lance.
"What is the meaning of this, Lance?!"
"I am awakening a beast of destruction. Takato. Guilmon. You will stand no chance with Metaldevidramon."
"Metaldevidramon?!"
"He's been lying dormant in this region for years after he and a digimon named Omegamon bio-emerged into this world. After a long struggle, their final battle took place in this very spot. The brave digimon barely managed to triumph, but he sealed Metaldevidramon through a digital field."
"But why weren't there any reports on this?"
"Through the use of stealthy invisibility. They were smart enough not to be detected by the human eye."
"Then that explains why there were supposed terrorist attack in Shinjuku years ago."
"You're catching on fast, Takato. Yes, those attacks were not the result of terrorists as many have claimed. No, it was the direct result of Omegamon and Metladevidramon."
"I assume Omegamon left back to the Digital World and figured that Metaldevidramon would never be released. Until now…"
"That's right. Now I shall free Metaldevidramon from his slumber."
"You can't! You're going to free a monster with no remorse!" Guilmon calls out.
"That's the whole idea, you fool. Now awaken, Metaldevidramon! Awaken from your long slumber!"
As soon as Lance placed his hand over the digital field, Takato and Guilmon rushed out to stop him. They were too late. The barrier was coming down and the beast was slowly awakening. Lance leaps away with a sinister grin.
"Yes, arise Metaldevidramon! Awaken and kill these two. They have the gull to disrespect your reputation. They are not just enemies of mine, but enemies of you."
With that said, the beast moved his body from his once comatose state and opened his eyes. Metaldevidramon was revealed to be a Devidramon with metallic implants around parts of his massive stature. His right arm was metallic with red blades around his sides. His chest was embedded with metal plating and his face was covered by metal with red glowing pairs of eyes. The tip of his tail contained a laser blaster.
Takato laid his eyes upon the gigantic monster and it nearly towered over the entire tunnel area. His power was overwhelming and greater than even that of Babimon. Metaldevidramon looked down upon Takato and Guilmon with curiosity.
"Oh… crap," Takato muttered. "Um, Guilmon? You ready?"
"You know I'm always ready, Takato. No matter what I'll stand up to him. Remember, the bigger they are…"
"The harder they fall or… hit."
"Who has summoned me from my long sleep?! Show yourself!" the beast spoke with a thunderous tone.
"You can thank me, Metaldevidramon. I'm responsible for releasing you," Lance spoke up.
"Aye? Is was you?"
"Yes. As you can see, I share the same disgust for heroes of justice. I think we can come into an agreement."
"What sort of terms? You think I should ever listen to a human?! I am Metaldevidramon and I pride myself not to be ordered around by a mere human."
"Look deeper, Metaldevidramon. I am far from an ordinary human."
The metal dragon was picking up a strong, evil aura from Lance and immediately took notice. He lowers his head as if he were bowing.
"My apologies, Pharaohmon. I had no idea you would have found this human realm. How gracious of you to release me from my long sleep."
"I take it that you can handle these two pests?"
"Yes, they are nothing to me. I'll crush them without effort."
"That's good. I leave these brats with you. I have other business to attend to. Rei Hino and the Sailor Senshi…"
"Hey! Why don't you stay and fight us coward?!" Takato calls out.
"Yeah, you always have to call for errand boys to do your dirty work!" Guilmon growled deeply.
"I have much important matters. You're not the only ones I desire to kill. I'm sure the Sailor Senshi will find out the hard way once I'm through with them."
"You're just signing your own death warrant. They'll know about your arrival," Takato said. "Never underestimate your enemy."
"Oh? If I were you, I'd worry more about the beast who wants to have you for dinner. Metaldevidramon, I leave this to you."
"You won't need to worry with these troublesome children. They'll be disposed of."
"Well. There you have it. Our quality time together has ended, Takato. I hope you and your friends enjoy the after life. Heh."
As soon as he finished his sentence, Lance disappears from sight. This left Takato and his partner to deal with Metaldevidramon.
"Guilmon. You know what we must do. We will not back down."
"No, we won't. C'mon, Metaldevidramon! Why don't you come and try to eat us?! I'm sure WarGrowlmon will have a say to it."
Metaldevidramon lets out a horrifying roar, which echoes throughout the park. The beast widens its mouth and fires a massive blast. Guilmon pushes Takato away and allowed the blast to incinerate a large portion of the forest. All that was left were charred remains of the once lush forest and smoke.
"That was close, Guilmon!"
"He hurt the forest and all those poor animals!" Guilmon growled. "Now he's pushed me too far!"
"Digivolve, weakling! I want to do battle with a worthy opponent! You don't stand a chance at where you stand now!"
Takato reaches out for his D-Ark and slashes his digivolution card through it. He turns towards Guilmon and smiles.
"You want a challenge? Well, you've got one! Card Slash! Guilmon, let's get ready to rumble with this monster."
"I'm ready to rumble!"
"Yes, digivolve. Maybe then, you can provide me with a challenge I have been seeking since Omegamon's departure! Because every time I see you, I see Omegamon! Now prove me that you are worthy of facing me, heroes of justice!"
Eastern Shinjuku District. 4:55 P.M.
Elsewhere, Himura and Yui found themselves in the middle of nowhere in an empty parking lot. Inumon sniffed out every spot within the small lot, but found no traces of any recent involvement.
"This isn't getting us anywhere, Yui," said Himura. "If there were any Scrabmon, then Inumon would have sniffed them out."
"I wonder what kind of luck Takato and the others are having."
"These Scrabmon must be really good at camouflage, because I can't even sense their presence," Inumon spoke up. "Either they are hiding or they got the hell out of here before we came."
"That sucks," responded Himura. "I say we move on. We can't find anything he-"
Suddenly, there was a massive commotion coming from the park. Himura and Yui watched a large crowd feeling from what they claim was a monster attacking the park's forests. The siblings rushed out but the crowd stampeded had prevented them from leaving the empty lot.
"We can't get through! Damn! Let us through!" Himura cried out. "What was it that you saw?!"
"Hey, guys! Wait for me!" Inumon exclaimed.
Suddenly, just as Inumon came ever closer to his friends, a massive, wolf-like beast leaps out and tackled Inumon through a fence. The siblings turned and saw Shadow Metalgarurumon holding down Inumon tightly.
"Hey, that was cheap! Get off of me!" exclaimed Inumon.
"Hey! It's you! You're working for Pharaohmon!" Lance cried out. "I remember now…"
"Didn't I say that I would return to kill you?" the dark beast spoke.
"Please! Stop this! You're being misled!" Yui said. "We're not your enemy."
"No, I was told that if I assassinated you three, then I would be given a chance of freedom from Pharaohmon's control."
"Freedom? So you're just following orders?" Himura wondered. "Can't you simply break alliance with him?"
"I can't. I live to fight. I shall not remain under Pharaohmon's control!"
"He's really hurting inside. He doesn't know if he made the right choice," Yui thought. "Maybe I can try to convince him."
Shadow Metalgarurumon singed his claws deeper into Inumon's chest. The canine lets out a howl and attempts to kick him off.
"Himura! What are you doing standing around there?! I need to digivolve dammit!"
"Right! Let's see if Youkai Inumon can handle the job!"
"Great idea… That way it be mega… against… mega… Damn! He's sinking his claws deeper!"
Himura reaches out for his D-3 and raises up. The device unleashes a beam of white, which envelopes Inumon entirely.
"Yes! I'm ready to rumble! So, wolfy. How do you like it you have to deal with another mega? I'm not so weak as you claim. You should have killed me when you had the chance."
"Digivolve now!"
(Play Digimon 02 theme "Break Up!")
"You got it, Himura! Inumon warp shinka!!"
Within a matter of moments, Inumon started to evolve and became a two-legged wolf warrior. Armor covered nearly his entire chest and his human-like features made Inumon quite a formidable digimon.
"Youkai Inumon!!"
"Ah, so you've managed to digivolve into mega again. That's good. Now we can finish off where we last left off. I can build up my reputation and free myself from Pharaohmon once I slay you!"
"Go get him, Inumon! We're behind you all the way!" Yui cheered on.
"Quite a cheerleader you have there, Inumon. He's be a lot better if she were cheering for me."
"In your dreams, jack ass," Youkai Inumon spoke. "Don't you go anywhere near her."
"I won't. That is until I kill you myself! Draw your weapons and let us battle, Inumon."
"My pleasure," the warriors responded as he drew his twin swords. "Himura. Yui. Get back. This just might turn out ugly."
"Right. You heard him, Yui. It's not safe here."
"Don't you lose, Inumon! We'll be watching from a far distance!"
As soon as the siblings left the parking a lot, Youkai Inumon leaps at Shadow Metalgarurumon. The megas slashed at each other with swords and claws trading blows. Youkai Inumon held his guard and put up his swords. The wolf mega snapped his jaws around the swords and attempts to break them apart with his jaws.
"You're good, Inumon. You're far better than I've ever imagined."
"Oh, you've just noticed? I'm not even getting warmed up."
"Then, don't hold back! I want to defeat you at your very best."
"You want my best? Then, you've got it!"
With a swing of his swords, Youkai Inumon sends Shadow Metalgarurumon skidding through a fence. The warrior leaps forward and picks Shadow Metalgarurumon up. He throws the metal wolf across and sends him towards the center of the lot.
"Way to go, Inumon! Stay on him!" Himura cries out.
"I hope they don't kill each other. That poor guy is being used," Yui said. "If only we can convince him..."
As Youkai Inumon approached the fallen wolf, Shadow Metalgarurumon retaliated and fires a missile towards him. The warrior is shot back as a result of the explosion from the missile.
"Inumon!!"
Shadow Metalgarurumon approaches his fallen adversary with curiosity. It seemed the explosion had put Youkai Inumon of commission, but wasn't enough to entirely destroy him. The metal wolf was surprised as Youkai Inumon immediately nails an elbow shot into Shadow Metalgarurumon.
"I can't believe you fell for that old trick, Shadow," Youkai Inumon said. "I guess that makes us canines smarter than wolves. Himura showed me that playing dead could be beneficial. Thanks a lot, pal."
"Uh, don't mention it," Himura said with a sweat drop coming down his forehead.
"Now! Time for an ol' fashioned butt whooping courtesy of yours truly!" Youkai Inumon exclaimed. "Here goes Inumon with the body slam!"
With that said, the warrior slammed Shadow Metalgarurumon through the concrete. Himura simply could not resist chuckling at his partner's insane antics.
"Himura. What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing, but it's funny watching Inumon make a fool out of himself."
"This is no time to laugh. What about the others?"
"Oh, damn! I forgot! I'm sure Inumon will handle this on his own."
"Well, I was just suggesting."
"We'll stick around here to give Inumon some support. After that, we'll go and give Takato a hand. Besides, the other Tamers are there to aid him."
"Ok then."
(End theme to Break Up)
Looking on from a far distance was Brimstone. His presence was concealed and allowed him to move about freely. However, it was simply not enough once a red-haired individual appeared behind him.
Brimstone turns around and faced the fox demon better than known Kurama.
"So, you're the one named Brimstone? I've heard so much about you from Hiei and Yusuke."
"Ah, so you're associated with them. What is thee name?"
"Kurama. But you won't need anymore information on me once you have been cast away."
"You dare to challenge me? You're making a big mistake."
"I suggest we move to a different location. We wouldn't want children to get in the way of our conflict."
"So be it."
With that said, Kurama led the massively armored behemoth through an alleyway. Unlike Inumon and the metal wolf, these two did not attack one another right away and tested each other's patience. Kurama had hoped that these head games would be beneficial to his advantage over a brawnier opponent like Brimstone.
"Hopefully, I can drag this on until there is no innocent bystanders to stand in our way. So far, so good."
Shibuya Train Station. 5:05 P.M.
The crowds were trying to pass the time and attempting to catch their scheduled train stops. Amongst the crowd was Lance. He had finally arrived in Shibuya through his usual teleportation techniques. He set his sights towards the city and smiled.
"Tonight, the fun begins."
Domino City. 5:00 P.M.
We find our favorite group, consisting of Yugi Muto, Joey Wheeler, Tea Gardner and Tristan Taylor, at a local arcade. Tristan and Joey are seen playing a game of Tekken Tag while Yugi and tea sat together at a table waiting for their friends.
"Uh, tell me when they're finished Yugi," Tea muttered.
"Could me any minute now?"
"You've been saying that for the past twenty minutes and they're still not done. We were supposed to have gone to the movies by now."
"I guess we'll have to catch a late night showing then."
"Knowing those two pea-brains, the theatres will be closed once they're done. Hey, guys! Can we hurry it up? The crowds are going to be a pain if we go tonight."
"Take a chill pill, Tea. We're almost done," Joey responded. "Aw, crap!"
"Score another for the Trister!"
Joey slammed his hand over the joystick and walked away in shame. Yugi took a look at his watch. It was exactly five 'o clock.
"It's five 'o clock, guys. I say we better move out before the lines get bigger," Yugi said. "I'm sure they'll have some arcades for you guys to play while we wait for our movie to start."
"Cool! Then I can have my rematch with the 'Trister' over here."
"C'mon you guys. I'm not about to drag you out by your ears," the teenage girl said.
"Yes, ma'm," the boys responded.
The four teens walked out from the arcade and headed down the street. The closest movie theater was nearly five blocks and tonight was a showcase of movie premieres. Just as they had reached a stoplight, a feminine figure stood in their way. She had brown, wavy hair, a red formal wear and high heels. Her skin was nearly as pale as milk and her eyes gave off a stunning gold color.
"Hey! Move it or loose it, lady!" Joey exclaimed. "We're in a hurry here."
"Joey, that's not a way to treat a lady," Tristan whispered.
"Would you rather be late for a movie?"
"Well, um… No."
"Excuse me, miss. Do you think you can move aside, please? We're trying to cross over to the movie theater," Yugi said.
"What's the hurry, kiddos? Can't you save a movie for another night?" the woman responded.
"Why don't you take your stuck up attitude and let us pass through?" Tea spoke out.
"My, my such a feisty girl. You boys must have really riled her up."
"Now, she's starting to give me a headache," Joey said with clenched teeth.
"Please, we haven't done any ill will to you, lady. All we want to do is pass by," Yugi stated. "Can't you just grant us that?"
"Hoo. I'm afraid I can't do that. By the way, is your name Yugi Muto?"
The spiky-haired teen was taken back in surprise that such a strange woman had figured out his name. Then again, he is formally known around the world as a Duel Monsters champion. Anybody who has claimed to defeat Seto Kaiba deserves worldwide recognition.
"Yes, that would be me. What is it that you want, ma'm?"
"You're the winner of the Duelist Kingdom and Battle City tournaments. I've heard so much about you. As a matter of fact, my master happens to know you quite well."
"Master?!"
"All right, now she's starting to creep me out," Tristan said.
"What do you mean by 'master'?" Tea asked. "If you're looking for trouble, then I suggest you move aside."
"Oh, but I can't do that. All I want is a duel with the famous Yugi Muto."
"A duel with me?" Yugi asked.
"No way. You don't have to go through with this, bud," Joey responded to Yugi. "Listen, lady. We're officially on a break from fighting evil creeps. If you had half a brain, then you'd respect our wishes."
"Not to mention that she has bad taste in fashion," Tea thought.
"Look, Yugi Muto. Do you really care for your Millennium Puzzle or what? I think it would be in your best interest to accept this duel."
Even more earth shattering was the fact that this lady knew about Yugi's Millennium Puzzle. This was the last straw. The boy couldn't just let her take advantage of him.
"Yugi! I sense an evil presence from this woman," Yami spoke through Yugi's mind.
"That's right, Pharaohmon. It is I, Felinismon," the feline responded from within the woman's mind. "I purposely let you sense my presence. I demand the right to duel you. Once I defeat you, then I shall take the puzzle and hand it to Lord Pharaohmon."
"You take advantage of this poor boy just for Pharaohmon's sick greed? I back down from no challenge, Felinismon. You name the location of our duel!"
"So, what's it going to be, little Yugi?"
"You're on, lady! I accept your challenge! Guys, we'll just have to arrange the movies for another night. I'm sorry…"
"It's cool, Yug. We'll be supporting ya in this duel," Joey said. "School this witch."
Those comments alone were enough to break the last nerve from the lady. She immediately broke into an outburst and got into Joey's face.
"I happen to be quite an elegant woman, you snot-nosed boy!"
"Whoa! Say it but don't spray it."
"You name the location of where we will be dueling, lady," Yugi demanded.
"Wow, you're ready to get this on, aren't you? You see that construction area? We'll be dueling there. I have duel disks set up over there. I hope you brought your cards."
"I always carry them with me."
"Hurry along, children. We don't have all day," the woman said gleefully. "This will your final stand, Yugi Muto."
"I don't like the looks of this," Tea said. "This doesn't seem right. It's almost as if she were laying a trap on us."
"No. I doubt it," Yugi said. "But, just to make sure…"
With that said, Yugi's Millennium Puzzle emitted a bright aura and caused Yugi to change into the more experienced pharaoh, Yami.
YU-GI-OH!"
Standing in little Yugi's place was Yami. The ladt turned around and saw the entire transformation unfold. She snaps her fingers.
"Well, since you've already unveiled yourself, Yami. I think it's time I lose this disguise."
As soon as she said this, the lady flips her dress over and unveils her true identity. Felinismon stood out in front of the four teens with an evil grin.
"Hello, children. It's so good to see you!"
"Felinismon. So we finally meet," Yami said. "I was wondering when you would reveal yourself."
"Yugi. We shall duel at this exact location. You see that wooden platform in the center of the ditch? We'll be dueling on it."
"Go on."
"We'll be using duel disks. No, as a matter of fact, you'll be the one to use the duel disk. I will summon monsters with my magic."
"What is the purpose of us standing on the platform?"
"Simple. Once we duel on the platform, our weight will cause it to break. However in this case, I have magically constructed it to break once the duel is over. The loser will take a fall once the platform breaks and they will meet their demise at the bottom of this ditch. But that's not all, the body will fall into a pit of spikes."
"A pit of spikes? Another duel to the death? I've been through with it before. I'll be more than happy to oblige, Felinismon."
"Once I win, and I will, then I shall take possession of your Millennium Puzzle and you… you will take a fall into the pit of death."
"That's hardcore! Yug! You're going to go through with this?!" Joey asked frantically. "You're putting your own life at stake!"
"Yugi! Please, think this through," Tea begged.
"I've made my decision. You will just have to trust me on this. I promise to put an end to this whole ordeal."
"I'm waiting Yugi. Let's get this duel underway."
The pharaoh made eye contact with his three friends and nodded. Despite the high stakes, Joey approved with a thumbs up. Tristan and Tea even approved of their friend's decision,
"You can do this, Yugi!" Tristan calls out.
"Yugi! Send this fashion disaster packing!" Tea exclaimed. "We're behind you!"
The determined pharaoh steps towards the platform and picks up the duel disk provided for him. Felinismon steps over to her spot and strapped her duel disk over her left arm. Yugi puts his duel disk on his left arm and shuffles his prized deck.
"It's really an honor for me to duel you, Yugi. Pharaohmon has provided me with tips on the game. After all, he does possess the mind of a boy with knowledge of the Duel Monsters game."
"I see. Then, he must realize that I hold possession three of the Egyptian God Cards."
"Speaking of which, you are forbidden from using your three Gods Cards. Also, I want to add another stipulation. When I win, I will also take your three god cards. They'll be quite useful for Lord Pharaohmon."
"Very well. I will not need the three Egyptian god cards to defeat you. This duel will be based purely on skill alone."
"Perfect."
"Whoa, Yugi is taking one huge gamble," Joey commented.
"He'll win, even without the god cards. He will triumph," Tea responded.
"I hope so," Tristan muttered.
As soon as Yugi put his three god cards in his left pocket, he turned to face Felinismon to officially begin their duel. Each one started out with the usual 4000 life points.
"Like I've said, I won't need the duel disk to summon my cards, but I still need to keep track of my life points. That's if I lose ANY life points. As for you, you only need that duel disk to check your life points. You may summon your monsters using your Millennium Puzzle. Now, let us begin!"
"DUEL!!" the two duelists called out.
San Francisco. 10:05 P.M.
Back in the city of San Francisco, the situation has calmed since Babimon's defeat. People started returning back to their homes and local authorities were investigating where these 'monsters' had shown up. Despite reports, they were no legitimate pieces of evidence linked to real monsters.
This allowed Sailor Mercury to sigh a breath of relief. She stood out on top of a water tower to patrol the city.
"How did that guy manage to summon real monsters? His dragons managed to wipe out that monster. I'll have to investigate on how he managed to pull it off. Then again, he forgets that I lent him a hand. Now to important matters. Cammy… I wonder if she'll even show up."
Suddenly, Sailor Mercury looked down and saw Cammy waving out from the bottom of the building. The blue-haired Sailor Senshi looked down on her and nodded with a smile. She quickly leaps off the water tower and lands in front of the girl. Cammy was carrying along a backpack of luggage.
"So, how did everything go?"
"Well, I didn't tell my dad. I did leave a letter behind. If he can't let me see my sister, then he has no right to hold me locked away from her. I can't care if he is my father."
"I see. Well, I can't do anything to stop you. Besides, you're sister is waiting for you. Why don't we hurry along? There's a friend of Rei's waiting for you at the airport."
"What? Really?"
"Your sister made arrangements with this friend and she's waiting for you. Let's get going right away."
Cammy looks deeply into Mercury's eyes and responds with a nod. The younger girl took the sailor's hand.
"I'm ready."
"That's a good girl. We don't want to leave her waiting."
"Right."
"As soon as we get there, I'll disappear and change out of my Senshi form. Then, I'll rejoin her to catch her flight. It's a good thing I have two weeks break. Though, I could catch up on some reading aboard the flight. Don't worry, Rei. We're on our way."
Shinjuku Park. 5:10 P.M.
Rika and Renamon led their team of Tamers through the thicket of the forest. The vulpine was able to pick up an overwhelming power from over where Guilmon and Takato were currently standing.
"Rika! Takato and Guilmon are in trouble," Renamon said.
"Why do you figure that?"
"They're are going to be involved in a massive battle. It seems Lance has managed to awaken a monster with extraordinary power."
"Damn! Hurry it up, guys!"
"Hey, we're moving it as fast as we can!" Kazu cries out while catching his breathe. "If only Renamon wasn't so quick on her feet…"
"No need for me to run. Why don't you just hop aboard on me, Kazu?" Guardromon asked.
"It's about time somebody had a brain for once," Rika remarked. "Jeri! C'mon Here, take my hand."
"Thanks, Rika. I didn't think I was going to make it any further."
"Are we done chit chatting? Takato and Guilmon aren't going to last much longer," Renamon promptly stated. "Let's get a move on!"
As soon as Renamon leaps out forward on her run, Rika and the other Tamers were catching on behind the neon fox. Guardromon hoisted Kazu and Kenta onto his shoulders before powering his boosters. Marine Angemon managed to hide under Kenta's coat pocket.
"Thank goodness you're in my coat pocket, Marine Angemon. This is going to be one bumpy ride, buddy."
"Pipi! Pipi!"
Renamon pushed her way through the last thicket bush and finds herself in the middle of a struggle. He gazed up to see Metaldevidramon and WarGrowlmon in a clash between titans.
"My god… It's him," Renamon muttered. "Pharaohmon has managed to free him?!"
"Renamon! There you are! What's the big- OH CRAP!"
Rika's expression said it all. Her face contorted with utter disbelief at the towering stature of Metaldevidramon.
"It's about time you dodos made it," a Brooklyn-accent voice calls out.
Renamon and her partner turned their direction towards a familiar dark purple mammal with a red bandana around his neck. Impmon was standing with his arms crossed and his left foot was tapping.
"Yesh, couldn't you slow pokes have gotten here any sooner?"
"Impmon. If you were here the whole time, then why haven't you lend Takato a hand?!" Rika demanded.
"I'm waiting until pineapple head finishes his turn. Besides, he is already on his last legs."
"Last legs?!"
"H's right, Rika. We came here a little too late."
"First of all, who is that big freak?"
"That is Metaldevidramon. He once terrorized the Digital World and rebelled against the Sovereigns."
"Is he anywhere near as powerful as Pharaohmon?"
"No, but he is ruthless. At where he is now, he's simply an ultimate-level. His strength is near that of a mega though."
"Great, now we have another ultimate-mega on our hands? Here I thought it couldn't get any worse."
(Play Inuyasha OST theme Sword of a Fang)
Without warning, Metaldevidramon delivers a head butt to WarGrowlmon. The cyborg responds with his Radiation Blades into his enemy. Metaldevidramon was sent skidding back with minor injuries, despite WarGrowlmon's efforts.
"Not bad, WarGrowlmon. I see that your alignment with this human has helped you reach beyond your limits. I take it that same technique was used to defeat some of the Devas. However, my power ranks far above them. Which means, that your efforts are still not enough. Care to try again?"
"Uh, Takato. Nothing seems to be affecting this guy. What now?"
"I don't know. He claims to be an ultimate, but he fights as if he were a mega. We just might need to bio-merge in hopes of beating him."
"No, Takato. We have no need to bio-merge," WarGrowlmon retorted. "I'm where I am now. What are you waiting for, punk? Come and get me! Taste my Atomic Blaster."
"I think not. You made a mistake by wasting your time. You should have listened to your partner! Now you will suffer the consequences! Metaldevidramon shinka!!"
"Oh damn," Impmon muttered.
"You took those words out of my mouth," Rika replied.
"WarGrowlmon! What are you doing?! Attack now!" Renamon exclaimed.
"Go for it, WarGrowlmon! While he's digivolving, attack him!" Takato ordered his digimon partner with plead.
"You got it! ATOMIC-"
WarGrowlmon's chest plate opened up and was gathering an enormous amount of energy. While the cyborg was powering up for his attack, Metaldevidramon was evolving into a more powerful monster.
"BLASTER!!"
However, WarGrowlmon's blast was cancelled out as soon as it made impact with the digivolving beast. Wardevidramon's aura sent the blast soaring into the heavens. Takato was in utter shock and gripped his D-Ark tightly.
"He-He sent it away… Now would be a good time to bio-merge."
Everyone turned towards the enemy as he achieved his mega form. Their complexities changed as the titan came walking out from out of his digiviolution shell. Metaldevidramon revealed himself as a larger monster of destruction. His body was far more advanced than his previous form. He was a bit more cybernetic and his arms were equipped with clawed gauntlets. His helmet resembled that of the brave warrior himself, War Greymon. The mega cries echoes throughout the park and he sets his sights on WarGrowlmon.
(End theme)
"Now I have achieved my mega form. This simply suits be better."
"Whoa! Look at the size of that guy!" Kazu calls out.
"Well, it's about time you clowns made it," Rika muttered.
"Rika. What are we going to do?" Jeri asked. "Do you think all of our digimon stand a chance?"
"Let's not think that way, Jeri. Renamon, you up for some action?"
"Of course."
Henry reaches out for his D-Ark and gains an overview of Metaldevidramon's mega form. A little information was provided for the towering beast.
(WarDevidramon. Mega Level. Virus War Dragon Digimon. Special Attacks: War Claw & Burning Missiles)
"He's without a doubt a mega! Takato! You'll need Gallantmon in order to even give this guy a fight!" Henry calls out.
"C'mon, Henry. Just send me over to give him a hand," Terriermon said. "I'll give that dragon the one-two!"
"Sorry, bunny dog, but you wouldn't stand a snowballs chance in hell," Impmon replied. "Why don't you leave it to me? I was here first after pineapple head anyway."
With that said, Impmon immediately digivolves and leaps into the battle into the winged demon known as Beelzebumon.
"Wait a minute, how did he digivolve without a partner?!" Kenta wondered.
"You can thank me!" a cutesy voice calls out. "Culu!"
The Tamers turned around to find a white, butterball with massive anime-like eyes. The creature sprouted wing-like gliders out from each side of his head. He goes flying straight into Jeri's arms as the girl held him with glee.
"Calumon!"
"Hey! Nice to see you, Calumon!" Jeri said with a cheer.
"You guys couldn't just leave me behind," said Calumon. "Besides, Impmon came to get me. I helped me to digivolve this time."
"Thank goodness you even came," Kazu said. "Guardromon could use a little power boost."
"Beelzebumon! Watch yourself! This monster may be even too much for you!" Renamon calls out.
"I've got this one, fox face," Beelzebumon retorted. "Hey, how ya doing, smoky?"
WarDevidramon faced off with Beelzebumon. The dragon mega didn't seem at all impressed with Beelzebumon and merely chuckled.
"What's wrong? Do I amuse you, pal?"
"I find it hard to believe that you were once the little runt Impmon, but you digimon never cease to amaze me."
"I'll show you how impressive I can be, tin head."
With that said, Beelzebumon flies out with ferocity and aims his blaster directly for WarDevidramon. The titan immediately puts up his guard and puts up his missile blasters in defense.
"You asked for it, cretin. Burning Missiles!!"
As soon as the mega collided, WarDevidramon's missiles easily overcame Beelzebumon's attack and threw him out of loop. The winged demon managed to stop his course and faced Wardevidramon again with a grin.
"That's more like it, tin head. I think I'm going to enjoy this. Hey, Takato! You keep pineapple head out of this until I get my ass kicked. Which I doubt will happen."
"But we're not sure how strong this guy really can be! You're underestimating him!" Takato exclaimed.
"Kid. Take it from me. If you really want to find out your opponent's strengths, then you have to suck it up and kick some ass! Throw out every rule book if you can."
"He certainly doesn't take good advice," Takato thought.
"Takato. Let's do as he pleases. Once he gets thrashed, then we'll gladly step in," WarGrowlmon said.
"You think we ought to do that?"
"You fools! It would be wise if you attacked me all together, but if you insist we fight in this procedure, then so be it!"
"Bring it on, tin head!" Beelzebumon cries out. "I'll use your teeth as target practice."
Beelzebumon proceeded to attack WarDevidramon head on with everything he has, while everyone else looked on. WarGrowlmon stood his ground and waited until his time came him to bio-merge with Takato. Every other digimon were prepared for anything and their partners were willing to let them into the battle until the time was right.
At last, Pharaohmon has awakened WarDevidramon and orders him to destroy the Tamers. Can Beelzebumon manage to overcome the titan? Youkai Inumon and Shadow Metalgarurumon continue their struggle with Yui and Himura looking on. Yugi prepares to duel with Felinismon, which forces him to put up his Millennium Puzzle and Egyptian god cards at stake.
