FALL OF THE DEVAS
BY HOWLING WOLF
Rika stepped through the doorway Gallantmon had created and was met with the sensation of falling. The feeling was similar to what you might experience when on a rollercoaster. Closing her eyes Rika hoped that the sensation would soon pass.
When it finally did pass, Rika open her eyes to see that they were now back in the real world. Behind her Renamon watched worriedly for Gallantmon to appear. He did so a second later de-digivolving back to his human form. Takato gasped as he dropped to his knees.
"Takato are you all right?" Rika asked as she helped him stand back up.
Takato shook his head to clear it. That portal he had made had drained a lot of energy out of him.
"Yeah, I'm okay. I don't think that I'll be doing that again for a while. C'mon we better get back to the Kamiyas'. The others are probably worried about us by now." He Said.
At the Kamayias' apartment Impmon was pacing around in the living room. When ha had found out what had happened to Takato he had wanted to flambé' Kazu and Kenta. Luckily for them Henry was there so the rookie virus let the two idiots alone.
Outside Leomon and Jeri were looking out over the city when Leomon suddenly stiffened. When Jeri asked what was wrong Leomon pointed at a section of the city that was now covered in fog. Jeri's eyes widened.
"Is that a digital field?" asked Jeri.
Leomon nodded. "Yes, a very large one at that."
"What do you think will come out?"
Leomon looked thoughtful for a moment before answering.
"Judging from the digital field's size it could be one large digimon or several small ones." He said.
Henry suddenly stuck his head outside.
"I think you two had better come inside to see this." He said.
Confused at the urgency in Henry's voice the two came back inside to find all of the digidestined and tamers gathered around the TV.
"Henry what is going on?" Jeri asked.
"A news report just came on." Henry said pointing to the television. On it a news reporter stood off to the side of a panicked ridden street.
"And it is pandemondeum out here on the streets. The chaos is believed to be caused by several digimon that have suddenly appeared." The reporter said.
Before the reporter could continue her report a dog type digimon in blue purplish armor leapt in front of her and attacked the camera. Static filled the TV screen. For a moment everyone in the room just stared at the now blank TV screen in complete surprise. Then Tai spoke.
"That was Chatsuramon. I'll bet anything that those other digimon are the rest of the devas as well." Tai growled.
"We better get down there before any more people get hurt." Said Sora.
Elsewhere in the city Rika, Takato, and Renamon were on a rooftop trying to figure out what to do now. They had been on their way back to the Kamiyas' apartment when Chatsuramon and his friends had appeared. The crowd around them had panicked when the large pig digimon began trashing the streets. Luckily Renamon was able to get Rika and Takato up onto the roof of a nearby building.
Southern Quadrant, the real world...
Yamaki cursed as he entered Hypnos. He had spent the last few days going over the data that Dolphin had given him only to come to the same result every time. Somehow the digital world was slowly being deleted. The thing that was bothering Yamaki now was that he could not find out the reason why.
"I only hope that Takato and the others aren't in the digital world right now." He muttered.
Although he did not show it, Yamaki was extremely worried about Takato. The young tamer had been through quite a bit before he had been kidnapped.
At his desk Janyu Wong absently patted his youngest daughter's head as he waited for Yamaki. He along with the rest of the monster makers had gone over Dolphin's discovery. None of them had been able to find any errors. Janyu only hoped that Yamaki might have found something. Otherwise it meant that his son Henry and his friends might now be dead.
"Don't worry Janyu I'm sure your son and the others are alright." Babel tried to reassure her friend.
In the digital world of the Southern Quadrant...
Antylamon watched in worry as her master Zhuqiaomon used his Blazing Helix attack against the chaos. The attack had bought them some time but not much. Only this small space of the digital world still existed thanks to the spreading chaos. Antylamon frowned at the gate structure that she had stood guarding since its construction. 'Lord Zhuqiaomon said that this gate was vital to the survival of our world. I do not understand. He sent all of my brethren after the catalyst and yet I must remain here. Is the gate some how connected to the catalyst?' Antylamon wondered.
Zhuqiaomon watched as the chaos simply reformed from his attack. He knew that this battle was hopeless. After Zhuqiaomon had sent his devas after the catalyst the other sovereigns had returned to their own quadrants to prepare their own last stands. Now only he, Antylamon, and a few handful of digimon still existed in the Southern Quadrant. This quadrant was nearly finished but Zhuqiaomon could still try one desperate act that might save the other quadrants.
"Antylamon activate the gate." Zhuqiaomon ordered.
"Are you sure that it is wise to do so?" she asked.
"Do not question me! Once activated the gate shall use the power of the human world to create a bridge to Azulongmon's quadrant and link to the catalyst that is still there. Now do as I command!" Zhuqiaomon said.
Antylamon nodded fearfully and stepped into the gate's archway to activate it. The gate hummed with power as several data streams suddenly collided with the gate. Zhuqiaomon watched as the gate used the data streams to bridge the human world with the Southern and Eastern quadrants of the digital world. 'For once the humans will actually help in the survival of our world.'
Back in Hypnos Suzie wondered from her father's side as a bright light caught her attention. The light was silver and rainbow colored. It seemed to be coming from out side through one of the mirrored windows.
Walking over to the window Suzie saw several small white creatures flying in the light. Suzie smiled as she reached out and tried to touch them.
Janyu looked down to see Suzie was no longer standing next to him. Looking around the room frantically he saw her reaching out for one of the windows. There was something about the window that seemed wrong to Janyu. At that precise moment every computer in Hypnos went crazy.
"Riley what the hell is going on?" demanded Yamaki.
Riley shook her head. "I have no idea sir. All of our computers seem to be displaying the same thing. I think it might be some sort of program."
"Suzie!" Janyu's cry caught the attention of everyone in the room.
Yamaki was the first to see what had caused Janyu to shout. The window Suzie was standing in front of had become see-thru. Suzie herself was now starting to fade from view. Reacting instantly, Yamaki made a dash for the window. 'I will not allow another innocent to be dragged into this.' Yamaki thought as he grabbed Suzie by the waist.
However all that served to do was to have Yamaki dragged along with Suzie on their strange journey. The Monster Makers stared at the now normal window. Janyu fell to his knees.
"No, not Suzie as well. Please not Suzie and Henry." He whispered.
Back to the digidestineds' world...
The digidestined and tamers arrived at the street where the devas had appeared and simply stared at what they saw. A huge pig digimon the size of Godzilla was slowly making its way to them. Henry quickly checked his d- arc.
Vikaralamon: Exalted Beast, Ultimate level. His attacks are Boar Bog and Fusion Ball.
"Jeez look at the size of that thing." Said Davis.
"No kidding. We'll have to attack with all of our digimon at once." TK said.
Henry nodded. "Sounds like a plan. Kazu, you and Kenta see if you can find either Rika or Takato. And take Impmon with you."
"What, no way! Besides how do we know chumly isn't in the digital world right now?" protested Kazu.
"Think about it Kazu. The devas would never come to the real world unless Takato was already here." Said Kenta.
"Your friends are right. The devas would not have bothered to come here if they already had the catalyst in their hands." Agreed Leomon.
Kazu sighed in defeat. "Yeah fine, let's get going Kenta."
Henry looked down at Impmon. "Try to keep those two out of trouble will you."
Impmon gave Henry a grin and a nod before running after his new charges.
Takato in the meantime was staring at the sheer size of Vikaralamon. He couldn't believe how big the deva was.
"Well what do we do now?" he asked Rika.
Rika snorted. "Simple Goggles, we go mega and roast that pig."
Takato suddenly noticed a shadow flying over them. The shout of "Flaming Arrowheads!" was the only warning the two had before the roof exploded. Looking up Takato saw a dragon digimon floating above them. The digimon ignored Rika and kept its attention focused solely on Takato.
"Great another deva." Takato muttered as he pulled out his d-arc.
Majiramon: Exalted Beast, Ultimate Level. His attacks are Flaming Arrowheads and Vedaka.
"Surrender catalyst." Majiramon said.
"I don't think so. Pryosphere!" Takato said launching his rookie attack.
Majiramon easily dodged the attack. However he was unprepared for the sudden attack that hit him in the back. Turning, Majiramon saw an angry Sakuyamon standing there clutching her staff.
Down on the streets below a bright light flashed revealing two very confused humans a very puzzled digimon. Yamaki let go of Suzie as he looked around. They appeared to be in the middle of a city instead of Hypnos. Where were they and how had they gotten there? Suzie was less worried about their situation than Yamaki. When she saw the dazed Antylamon she let out a squeal.
Antylamon watched in confusion as the small human hugged her leg. 'Why is she not scared of me?' Antylamon wondered. She had not time to wonder further as the sound of an explosion caught her attention.
"What the hell?" Yamaki growled as he too turned to watch the battle happening on top of one of the nearby buildings.
Takato took advantage of Majiramon's distraction to digivolve to his own mega form. Together Sakuyamon and Gallantmon made short work of Majiramon. After Majiramon had been deleted Gallantmon noticed two familiar faces down on the street. 'Yamaki and Henry's little sister Suzie. What are they doing here?'
Unnoticed by every one a rat digimon watched the two humans with Antylamon with a sneer. Kumbhiramon did not know why Antylamon was in the company of the humans but as far as Kumbhiramon was concerned it just meant that he had two easy targets to attack. Kumbhiramon leapt straight for the human child only to have Antylamon move the child out of harm's way.
"Antylamon, why did you interfere? These humans are our enemies." Said Kumbhiramon.
"I know, but to attack a child Kumbhiramon. Surely we do not have to sink to such levels?" said Antylamon.
"Bah all humans are our enemy. Now stand aside so that I may destroy these two." Kumhiramon said.
Yamaki watched the byplay between the two devas as he slowly and carefully began backing himself and Suzie away. Unfortunately Kumbhiramon noticed the sudden movement and grinned.
"Deva Clone!" he cried splitting himself into five copies. Yamaki swore mentally as the Kumbhiramons formed a circle around him and Suzie. Keeping Suzie behind him Yamaki waited for the rat deva to make the first move. Four of the copies leapt into the air at the same time only to be deleted by a blast of energy. Surprised Yamaki looked up to see Gallantmon standing on a rooftop.
"Deva leave my friends alone." Gallantmon said as he jumped down to street level.
"You may stop me Gallantmon but I shall take one these humans with me!" the last Kumbhiramon said jumping directly at Suzie.
Gallantmon realized that he was never going to make it in time when the unexpected happened. Kumbhiramon landed several feet away from Suzie and stared at Antylamon in complete shock.
"T...Traitor. How could you betray your sovereign for one of these filthy humans?' Kumbhiramon asked as he slowly deleted.
"To kill a child that has done nothing to us is wrong. However I will face the sovereign for the judgment of my actions." Antylamon said.
Gallantmon slowly walked up Antylamon until he stood between her and Suzie. Antylamon tensed waiting for the knight to strike her down. However Gallantmon merely nodded at her. He then bent down at Yamaki and Suzie.
"Are you two all right?" he asked.
"Yes thanks to this deva. Takato where are we?" Yamaki said.
"I think that's a story for later on. C'mon Gallantmon we still have an oversized pork chop to deal with." Sakuyamon said as she jumped down to the ground.
Yamaki looked at Sakuyamon with a frown. He could not understand why this digimon's voice sounded familiar to him. Yamaki was certain that he had never met this particular digimon before. Sakuyamon saw the way Yamaki was looking at her and smirked.
"What's the problem shades? Don't you recognize me?" she grinned.
"I don't think that we have ever met before." Yamaki replied carefully.
Gallantmon shook his head. "Save the twenty questions for later you two. I think we're going to have bigger things on our hands soon."
