The Remains of Heaven

Chapter Four: She's The One
Disclaimer: I don't own digimon. If I did, I wouldn't be writing this now would I?
Matt, Sora and Joe perched on the talons of Birdramon as she covered the land of the digital world. "Think we'll make it in time?" Joe asked.
"In time for what?" Sora replied. Joe shrugged.
"Before something serious happens." Matt was stone faced and peered stared forwards. Sora could only give a sorrowful glance. She could only imagine what sense of responsibility Matt for T.K right now.
Yolei threw her arms up in the air. "This is pointless!" She wailed. "There's obviously nothing here, there's no way to the dark ocean here, like we'd ever want to go there anyways." She took a pause. "I mean I only got a sniff of what its like and it gave me the creeps. How did you ever put up with it?"
"It wasn't the same with me," Kari answered. "When I escaped with T.K and Davis, I thought it was left behind. Now its back after me again."
"Just you? Forget it Kari, I think it's after everything," Yolei answered. "It went after anybody. Like the others said. First Matt and Sora, then you, then Ken. Then all three of us."
Kari smiled slightly. "You know, you're right."
"Of course I'm right!" Yolei shouted in response. "And even if it was just after you, it'd still have to deal with all of us, right?"
"Yolei, you don't know what this place is like."
"And you do?"
"Well, yes. I do."
"Then let's hear it, what's it all about?" She leaned in to the brown haired girl and raised an eyebrow.
"Well," Kari thought it through. "I have a better idea."
"Oh please, doesn't matter what you say Kari. We're a team and it's all for one and one for all," Yolei stood straight. "Now why does that sort of talk sound familiar?" Kari giggled.
"Sounds like something Davis would say." Yolei gulped.
"You mean I actually learned something from Davis? No way!" Kari laughed again. She swore Yolei did this on purpose every time Kari needed. It was good that she did. "Hey! Speaking of Davis," she started. "And T.K."
Kari bit her lip. She didn't see that coming, but Yolei could easily spin anything into anything. "Yolei." The tone told anyone to move on. That kind of moan which tried to shrug anything away.
"Oh come on! It's not meant to be that serious, I just wanted to know." Kari sighed.
"Know what?" Yolei took her time to a big climax where upon she shouted beyond countable decibels.
"Which one are you gonna pick!?" Kari groaned, she felt a headache coming on. She held two fingers to her temple, her thumb just underneath whilst her other two fingers spread as they could across her forehead.
"Uh Kari?"
"Yolei, I'm not in the mood, please?"
"That's no it."
"I'm sure it isn't, can we just wait for the others?"
"Kari."
"What is it!?"
"Behind you!" Yolei pointed to a bullet approaching from behind. It was huge and wouldn't stop. Metallic tentacles whipped out and lashed for to the two girls. Kari fell backward to avoid the claws at the ned of two. Yolei dived for the grass in front of her.
"Lightning Paw!" Gatomon slashed at the attacking arms. Not even a scratch. Kari?"
"One step ahead Gatomon, digi-armor enegize!" In a blinding flash of light Gatomon became Nerfertimon.
"You too Hawkmon! Digi-armor energize!" In an instant there was Halsemon. Both digimon had the limbs poised ready to pounce.
"Ready for this Halsemon?" Nefertimon asked. She was answered with a growl. "Hold it," she ordered as the metallic threats circled back for another attack. "Wait for it." They became dangerously close. "Now!"
Halsemon, pounced back and struck home with a blow. "Tempest Wing!"
"Rosetta Stone!" Nefertimon hit home too.
The hard stone like attack burst into shards as it connected on the metal target. The mini tornado created threw the arm off guard but never stopped it.
"Looks like this tougher than we thought," Halsemon said to the display. "What do you suggest?" There was no time for answer as the arms darted for the two digi-destined again. They both missed narrowly before both arms focused on Kari.
"Retreat and reform!" Nefertimon shouted as she dove in amongst the chaos, sweeping Kari off of her feet. Halsemon stood by as Yolei jumped on his back before following.
"You must come back here!" At the centre of the tangled arms a menacing digimon stood, gritted look of determination on what little face he had. "You're the key to everything!" His extendable arms reached for the fleeing Kari and fell just short as her digimon took evasive maneuvers.
"I guess we left him on the ground," Yolei said looking back. "What was that Kari?"
"I don't know, but he was after me. Not you. Maybe you should go warn the others, I'll try to lure him away."
"No way! You'll turn yourself and that's not gonna happen!"
"But what if he was sent by the dark ocean?"
"We've already been through this! We're going together!" Kari looked at the girl almost sorrowfully. Then nodded, regretfully.
'Yoeli,' she whispered in her head. Yolei's eyes opened wide.
"He's following us!" She pulled up her D3. "Cyberdatamon, Mega level. His micro missiles attack is decimating and his network snare is almost unavoidable. "Halsemon, shake a leg!" The g-force suddenly increased, Nerfertimon chased to keep up. Cyberdatamon seemed quite comfortable to stay that far behind them.
"I've got a reading on my D3! Some of the others are nearby!" Kari shouted over. "No idea who it is though, follow me!" She leant to her right in order to steer Nefertimon in the right direction. A crude method but it was quickest and simple. The two digimon made a beeline for the nearby signal.
"You see T.K? Davis and Ken are right there and they're ok," Cody pointed as himself and T.K neared the dark whirlpool. T.K straightened up to see two figures floating above the whirlpool. They looked like Stingmon and ExVeemon alright.
"They're ok," T.K told himself. "I'm sorry I freaked Cody, I just don't what happened to me." Cody was too busy typing on his D3.
'Matt,
T.K and I are with Davis and Ken, it was the only way I could pull him out of it. If you're still concerned you know where we are.
Cody.'
"It's ok, I think Davis deliberately volunteered for this place so you wouldn't have to face it," Cody answered.
"But why would he do that?" Cody shrugged.
"Maybe he is a better leader than we give him credit for, or he just fluked out on it," Cody answered again. T.K couldn't decide that either. Davis was Davis and that was the straightest answer you would get.
"It looks like I got an email," Matt answered as he regarded his digivice. Sora and Joe waited rather too impatiently aboard Bridramon. "Give me a break, I still don't know how to work this digivice, ever since Izzy played around with it."
Joe snatched it from him. "Do you even remember the buttons? You'd catch on if you actually used it more," he told Matt. "It's from Cody, it says T.K and Cody have gone to the whirlpool with Ken and Davis."
"Well, ok lets go find them."
"Wait!" Sora inclined her vision to their right, peering into the sun she had to bring her hand to shield her eyes. "Three people coming this way."
"I thought we were the only three member team here," Matt responded. "Could it be one of the others and another digimon?"
"Yeah, I'm getting a digivice reading, but I don't who it is, two signals though," Joe answered looking on.
"Looks like trouble, lets land and prepare for whatever it could be," Matt suggested. "And Joe. Send an SOS to the others, we may need help." Birdramon made a swoop towards Earth, the digidestined leapt from her back. "Ready Gabumon?"
The wolf like digimon, nodded and stood in attack mode. "Gabumon digivolve to Garurumon..digivolve to WereGarurumon."
The ultimate level digimon stood ready to defend. Meanwhile next to them Sora reached for her own digivice. "Birdramon digivolve to..Gaudamon!" Another ultimate stood next to them.
"This is it Gomamon, buddy," Joe said to his digimon partner. Matt stopped him from reaching for his own digivice.
"Maybe we should keep Gomamon in reserve, we don't what's going if anything at all, it would be a dumb to waste all our digimon's energy all at once." Joe frowned but nodded back at him.
"There they are!" Yolei shouted. They just sight of someone ahead when they ducked through clouds. They were now on the ground, two huger digimon replaced the large Birdramon they saw before. "Halsemon, dive!"
The bird digimon made a single action which pressed on downwards. Nerfertimon followed in the quake of wind Halsemon created. Kari watched nervously as the digimon neared.
"It's Matt, Sora and Joe!" Yolei confirmed as they got nearer. Halsemon screeched to a stop besides them. "We have a serious problem behind us and it's after Kari!" She dismounted whilst Kari pulled up besides and did the same.
"Ok, get ready to take that thing down!" Matt growled. "What's happening with the others Joe?" Joe stood holding his digivice.
"The others have just answered, they're on their way right now, we just have to buy time," he answered peering into the bullet like form in the sky.
"Network Snare!" The form burst into its original form as a neon green net burst from its body. The lines cackled with energy, powerful enough to fry anybody on contact. The smaller digidestined were grabbed by respective partners and were pulled aside. WereGarurumon taking Joe and Gomamon along with Matt. The net spat electricity as it hit the ground and disappeared. Before they could react, metal tentacles reached out for them.
"Take him out Gabumon!" Matt yelled as he got back on his own feet. The ultimate digimon pounced, limbs crooked ready to bring anything down with spring like reactions that made authority.
"How much longer?" Tai deamanded on the back of Kabuterimon. Izzy turned back to the elder leader.
"Not too long Tai, another five minutes maybe." Tai bawled a fist.
"That's too long! We should ride on WarGreymon, he's twenty time faster!"
"Remember what I said Tai," Izzy replied. "Save Agumon's energy, he may need it. And secondly, since Davis and the others have taken over, Agumon and Gabumon haven't been able to digivolve beyond Ultimate, we don't even know if its capable of bringing WarGreymon back with us."
Agumon sunk his head. Tai patted his shoulder. "Don't worry buddy, we know you can do it." The dinosaur digimon raised his spirit just a little.
"I didn't mean to bring you down Agumon, I'm just saying at this point we should assume, it could bring us all down." Agumon peaked back to himself.
"Right!" He turned to Tai. "Don't worry Tai, I won't let you down."
"I know you won't, so how 'bout getting ready to kick some butt!"
WereGarurumon held his fists out, catching two metal fists and stopping them dead in their tracks. They squirmed uncontrollably, but he refused to let go. One more reeled from the centre, he threw away the fists and jumped to safety. Garudamon in all her glory appeared from nowhere considering her size and launched a heavy fist into the oncoming tentacle. The force knocked it flying.
WereGarurumon took the offensive, his legs catapulting him to the air, far above the reach of those manic arms. He made an impressive dive, somersaulting through a mass of metal as he outstretched his leg, holding it firm. He connected with force and hard, knocking CyberDatamon to the floor. The resulting resistance gave WereGarurumon enough momentum to kick back to a safe distance before pulling up a stance.
CyberDatamon had enough, clearly by the look in his eye. He sprung up straight and reached for WereGarurumon, catching him before he had a chance to move. He squeezed hard. WereGarurumon couldn't even resist vocally as his entire body was compressed and the result was that Gabumon remained. The rookie was dropped to the ground as Matt dived to catch him. He looked at the Mega digimon and growled.
"I won't let you take her!" He made a jump at the much larger foe. He was swiftly swiped away, his ribs cracked and bruises were caused as he bounced off the ground.
"Matt!" Gabumon struggled to his feet. "Howling Blaster!" The microscopic attack didn't even bare recognition as CayberDatamon stepped over him.
"I guess this means the wild card has to be played," Joe started as he reached for his digivice. "Lets go Gomamon."
Gomamon digivolved to....ZUDOMON! A new ultimate stood in the small Gomamon's position. One far larger and harder to move than WereGarurumon. A brick wall by comparison. The mighty hammer was thrown, the melee weapon spinning at unbelievable speeds, cracked one arm as Zudomon used two hands to catch others. His feet scraped a trench through the ground.
CyberDatamon's chest cavity opened a crack as Zudomon saw him grin. Then his eyes widened. "Micro Missiles!" A barrage of missiles erupted from his chest. Zudomon acted fast, throwing the conflict away and raising his arms to a defensive cross.
An apocalyptic explosion ensued as Zudomon took the full blast of the attack. The dust swirled up causing a sand storm. Joe forced himself to look through it. "Zudomon!?"
He carried on blindly. "ZUDOMON!?" His cries were futile as he walked through the sand, micro grains tearing at his skin. The metallic leg of CyberDatamon clamped down on the ground in front of him suddenly, as Joe stumbled back, the entire silhouette became visible.
"Nothing without you precious digimon are you?" he taunted. "Network-."
"ARRGH!" Zudomon's mass figure appeared from nowhere as he shoulder barged CyerDatamon from causing harm. The mega was air born as he created an arc where Another cloud of smoke was made as he landed. "Joe, are you ok?"
"I'm fine Zudomon, looks like we need more than just you to stop this digimon though, where is your hammer?"
"It's around somewhere," he turned around, spotting the indestructible weapon gleaming from the Sun.
"Guys!" Tai shouted from the skies. He and Izzy arrived on the back of Kabuterimon. The large champion landed and the two elder Digi-destined ran to the forming group. Matt held an unconscious form of Gabumon, whilst Kari and Yolei looked over with concern. Sora was holding his shoulder. "What happened?"
"That new digimon whooped Gabumon pretty bad. He's after Kari, Zudomon hit him hard but he's not out, you have to do something Tai." The brown haired kid gritted his teeth.
"If Gabumon gave it his all, damn it we will too, Agumon," his digivice glowed. The orange dinosaur jumped forward, onto the new threat.
Agumon digivolve to....METALGREYMON!
"Dammit still no WarGreymon!" Tai cursed. "Alright forget that, we don't need WarGreymon to beat this loser right?" MetalGreymon roared in agreement.
"Ready Zudomon?" Joe asked. The ultimate sea digimon looked down behind him and nodded. Without warning, Cyberdatamon's arms grabbed him and encircled Zudomon, helpless to fight back. The metallic arms tensed and squeezed the life from him. The energy flowing through those tentacles, before dropping the now Gomamon to the floor.
Tai glared hate at CyberDatamon. "Alright, now it's our turn!" he demanded. "Get him MetalGreymon!"
"Giga Blaster!" Two deformed missiles launched from the metallic plate on MetalGreymon's chest. Each one hitting home whilst CyberDatamon made no attempt to get out of the way.
Rather than wait for the smoke to clear for the dramatic affect, CyberDatamon pushed onwards unaffected. "Network Snare!" A neon green burst from his body, getting bigger very quickly. The whole thing covered MetalGreymon, Kabuterimon behind him and Garudamon, getting ready for counter attack. There was a moment delay before fierce electric volts surged through their bodies.
Unaffected by the screams, Cyberdatamon walked past them. Tai stood in his way. "I won't let you take my sister!" He screamed. CyberDatamon stopped. He was confused and showed it.
"But you're almost the same age, how is that possible?" Tai returned his look with one similar. "No matter, I must have her," with an effortless reach, an arm extended over Tai and grabbed her. "Wait! Let go of her!" Tai jumped and grabbed a hold of his arm, he quickly snatched by an opposite hand.
"Tai! Help!" Tai looked over to the other hand, holding the other digi- destined.
"Sora!?" CyberDatamon took flight with both of them. Kari slowly got up from her fetal position and fear subsided. Back in reality her voice began to work.
"TAI!"
Disclaimer: I don't own digimon. If I did, I wouldn't be writing this now would I?
Matt, Sora and Joe perched on the talons of Birdramon as she covered the land of the digital world. "Think we'll make it in time?" Joe asked.

"Giga Blaster!" Two deformed missiles launched from the metallic plate on MetalGreymon's chest. Each one hitting home whilst CyberDatamon made no attempt to get out of the way.
Rather than wait for the smoke to clear for the dramatic affect, CyberDatamon pushed onwards unaffected. "Network Snare!" A neon green burst from his body, getting bigger very quickly. The whole thing covered MetalGreymon, Kabuterimon behind him and Garudamon, getting ready for counter attack. There was a moment delay before fierce electric volts surged through their bodies.
Unaffected by the screams, Cyberdatamon walked past them. Tai stood in his way. "I won't let you take my sister!" He screamed. CyberDatamon stopped. He was confused and showed it.
"But you're almost the same age, how is that possible?" Tai returned his look with one similar. "No matter, I must have her," with an effortless reach, an arm extended over Tai and grabbed her. "Wait! Let go of her!" Tai jumped and grabbed a hold of his arm, he quickly snatched by an opposite hand.
"Tai! Help!" Tai looked over to the other hand, holding the other digi- destined.
"Sora!?" CyberDatamon took flight with both of them. Kari slowly got up from her fetal position and fear subsided. Back in reality her voice began to work.
"TAI!"
