VENGEANCE
- Chapter 11 - Devimon Strikes Back, Part V -
by
Alforce Zero
Before going to the Infinity Mountain using the Diginizers' teleportation abilities, the Digidestined and digimons scoured the forests first for food to replenish their energies. Thanks to Palmon and Gomamon mostly, they had managed to gather wild fruits, nuts, berries, and fishes enough for all ten Digidestined and digimons. The guys had brought over some firewoods and water while the girls cooked the foods for all of them. Poor Salamon and Poromon however still haven't awoken from their unconscious states. They saved up some food for their fallen friends and discussed about what would they do once they reached Infinity Mountain.
"It's a good thing that now we can teleport there instantly with the Diginizers. I remember during our times we have to cross the seas, fly, and climb the mountain ourselves to get there," Tai reminisced, and related the event when Devimon broke a portion of File Island into smaller isles.
T.K. frowned. "From what Devimon had said earlier, he really wants to have his revenge on me and Patamon, for causing his death four years ago. I just wish I and Patamon are able to achieve the Trans-Digivolution ability like Kari and Gatomon, then maybe we can stand a chance."
"Are you forgetting that you have the rest of us around here, T.P.?" Davis asked in annoyance. "Don't you go playing hero out there."
"Funny to hear that coming from you Davis," T.K. remarked. "But you heard Devimon, he wants Patamon and I."
"There's a lot of us and only one of him!" Davis argued.
"You're forgetting about GrapLeomon," Cody interjected to avoid the two teens from continue arguing. "Not to mention, those digimons we haven't deleted yet, like Yashamon and Devidramon."
"Those two cowards won't be able to fight all of us," Veemon replied. "Even if we all can only digivolve to our Champion stages."
"You're probably right, but as far as I know if Devimon wants something he'd go to great length to make sure to get it. Devimon alone was able to defeat six Champion digimons easily," Matt said, remembering how they were beaten by Devimon. "He really wanted to destroy Patamon before he managed to become Angemon, who was prophecized as his destruction."
"Maybe that's why he's still out to get T.K. and Patamon. They were meant to destroy him," Sora said.
"But now we even have two Ultimates and a Mega with us," Mimi said.
"I'm not sure Salamon and Poromon are up to becoming Silphymon again anytime soon," Izzy reasoned. "And with Salamon in her current condition, there's no way she and Kari can Trans-Digivolve to Angewomon."
"Devimon sure had it all planned out," Ken said slowly as he watched Yolei and Kari, who were both craddling their unconscious partners.
"It really feels like the old times, don't you think?" Mimi asked. "All of us being here together to fight Devimon again? I even flew all the way from the States without even knowing what had happened in the Digital World."
The others murmured their agreement and continued talking again to let their digimons rest. The final battle with Devimon was about to begin, and they needed all the rest they could get to regain their energies. Soon Salamon and Poromon woke up, but they still felt weak even after eating the foods, and would need longer time to rest.
*************************
"This is completely unacceptable! How can you let those brats destroy FlameWizardmon and IceDevimon?! You two could've helped them instead of running off! Both of you are a complete disgrace!!"
Devimon was furious with having two of his strongest servants destroyed, and was venting his anger towards the last remaining two members of his formerly six-membered servants, Yashamon and Devidramon.
"We're sorry, master. They were too strong for us, what more with the addition of their senior fellow Digidestined. One of the digimon even had the ability to Warp Digivolve into Mega, it was the Mega who had deleted FlameWizardmon and IceDevimon," Yashamon said with a small tone, eyes fixed on the floor for he didn't dare meet Devimon's gaze. Devidramon decided to keep his silence.
GrapLeomon, who was standing in the shadows inside the hall of Devimon's fortress, stepped out into the places where some small ammount of lights penetrated from the windows. "The Mega digimon, WarGreymon, is even more powerful than SkullSatamon who was only an Ultimate. These two won't even stand a chance." This statement caused Devidramon and Yashamon to glare towards GrapLeomon furiously.
"Speak for yourself, GrapLeomon. You couldn't even handle four Champions!" Devidramon spat.
"Oh? And I suppose the two of you have done better jobs? You two couldn't even take care of six Rookies!!"
"ENOUGH!!" Devidramon bellowed. "The last thing I want around here is my own servants fighting each other!"
"My apologies, Master Devimon," GrapLeomon said and knelt to the floors.
"Forgive us, Master," Devidramon and Yashamon followed suit.
Devimon nodded. "In one day, the Digidestined had deleted four of my servants. However, are they up to the task of destroying their own friends?" He laughed, and made a slight gesture with his right hand-claw. From the doorway at the farthest end of the hall, entered Meramon, Frigimon, Mojyamon, Unimon, three Bakemons (one of them larger than the other two) and Elecmon. All of them were not quite visible inside the dark hall, the only indicator that marked their presence was their glowing crimson eyes. The eerie lights coming from their eyes were just about enough to make out their silhoutte out of the darkness, and on their backs were the Black Gears which were used to control their minds and actions.
"Their powers had greatly increased my own power," Devimon stated. "But other than that they're useless. Those children can easily defeat them, given their experiences. I'm counting on you, Devidramon and Yashamon to handle them, but leave the Child of Hope to me."
GrapLeomon nodded. "As you wish, Master Devimon."
"It's a pity WarGreymon destroyed FlameWizardmon and IceDevimon, because they had absorbed the DNA Digivolution powers of the Digidestined's digimons. With their destruction, the DNA Digivolution power was gone as well," Devimon said with a tone of disappointment.
Devidramon perched closer to Devimon and extended his right claw, which seemed to be clutching something. "Master, I've picked this up from the forests. It's a red orb which they used to DNA Digivolve."
"Really?" Devimon said as he took the red orb from Devidramon. The red orb wasn't as bright as it was before, instead it took on a rather blackish hue of red. "It seems like there's little amount of DNA Digivolution power left within this orb. This must be the orb containing the DNA Digivolution powers of ExVeemon and Stingmon, as they are the more powerful duo than the other. It's a good thing you've found the orb, Devidramon."
"Thank you, Master," Devidramon said and returned to his earlier position beside Yashamon.
"It needs a small ammount of power boost in order to enable you two to DNA Digivolve as well, so..." Devidramon waved his hand slightly, drawing the powers from the Black Gears perched on the enslaved digimons except for GrapLeomon. He then channeled the powers inside the black-red orb, energizing it back to full power and returning it to it's former bright red state.
*************************
Four hours had passed and it was an hour before midnight. The digimons and the Digidestined had rested and eaten enough, and all of them were ready for the big fight coming ahead of them. Well, except for Salamon and Poromon. They still felt weak after their last fight, but according to them they would have no problem to ascend up to their Champion forms, but DNA Digivolution and TransDigivolution would be nearly impossible as they would need to recuperate longer. Poromon had enough energy to become Hawkmon again, but Salamon decided to save her energy until at the battle scene.
"The seniors will each need to hold on to each one of us so that they'll be teleported there as well," Davis informed to the senior Digidestined, at the same time explaining about the functions of the Diginizers while they listened intently. Then, Tai and Agumon held on to Kari; Matt and Gabumon stood close to T.K.; Izzy and Tentomon positioned themselves around their crest successor Cody while Joe and Gomamon held onto Ken; Sora and Biyomon stood close to Yolei, and finally Mimi and Palmon both grabbed Davis's left arm and leg.
"You're not the bearer of Sincerity," Mimi said. "But you'll do," she added cheekily.
"Gee... thanks," Davis replied, blushing slightly. "Everyone ready? Here we go!" He touched the third red button of the Diginizer and instantly he, Veemon, Mimi and Palmon turned to four jets of serene blue lights and soared towards the skies towards Infinity Mountain. T.K., Kari, Ken, Cody and Yolei then followed suit, and all of them were then transported to Infinity Mountain in a series of green, pink, black, yellow and red jets of lights respectively. All of them landed at the foot of the mountain.
"Why didn't we just teleport all the way up to the mountain?" Agumon questioned as he looked up towards the mountain's peak.
"So that we wouldn't be taken by surprise up there. Who knows, maybe Devimon had assembled all digimons in his army up there," Tai answered. He then looked at Davis. "Well, give out the command now, Davis."
"Right on!" Davis said exuberantly, and assumed his usual pose. "Diginizer Energize!!" The other junior Digidestined did the same, while the six senior Digidestined held out their Digivices towards their partner digimons. Upon Davis's command, the Diginizers and the Digivices showered the digimons with brilliant lights, energizing all the digimons with the powers of digivolution.
"Veemon Digivolve to... ExVeemon!!"
"Wormmon Digivolve to... Stingmon!!"
"Armadillomon Digivolve to... Ankylomon!!"
"Hawkmon Digivolve to... Aquilamon!!"
"Salamon Digivolve to... Gatomon!!"
"Patamon Digivolve to... Angemon!!"
"Gabumon Digivolve to... Garurumon!!"
"Biyomon Digivolve to... Birdramon!!"
"Tentomon Digivolve to... Kabuterimon!!"
"Gomamon Digivolve to... Ikkakumon!!"
"Palmon Digivolve to... Togemon!! Togemon Digivolve to... Lillymon!!"
"Agumon Warp Digivolve to... WarGreymon!!"
The sight of ten fully-digivolved Champion digimons, one Ultimate, and one Mega digimon was truly a sight to behold. They looked impressive, and all were eager to battle the first evil digimon they'd faced four years before. However, none could rival the eagerness of Angemon and T.K. to battle Devimon.
"Today'll be the day, Angemon," T.K. said with high spirits towards his partner digimon. "Devimon is as good as gone!"
Angemon merely nodded, slightly distracted by thunders that rumbled from the thick purple clouds above the mountain. He was gazing at the top of Infinity Mountain, as if expecting Devimon to pop out from the peak anytime soon.
"We'll get him together, Angemon," Gatomon said as she walked towards Angemon, followed closely by Ankylomon, Aquilamon, ExVeemon and Stingmon, and ultimately, by the other six digimons as well. Angemon nodded again and attempted a half-smile.
"It took me my own life to destroy him last time," Angemon said slowly. "Only to find out that he wasn't exactly destroyed. This time around, I will make sure that he would be gone!"
"That's the spirit," WarGreymon said. "We're all behind you."
"Count on it," Garurumon said.
They then teleported towards the peak of the Infinity Mountain. In the meantime, the winds began to blow strong from the clouds. When all of them appeared at the top of the mountain, they were appaled at the sight of Devimon, already waiting for their arrival. He looked just the same as before, only that he was glowing with a black aura around him. His eyes were glowing crimson. Devimon, for a Champion, looked fearsome as if he was a Mega digimon. To add into the building suspence were the two Ultimate digimons who were standing on each of Devimon's side. One of them was GrapLeomon, the other one however, was an Ultimate digimon whom the Digidestined had never expected.
"It can't be! How on earth Devimon could have that vile digimon on his side!" WarGreymon snarled, fixing his eyes onto the large skeletal dinosaur like digimon who was nearly four times his size. WarGreymon found himself standing face-to-face with his very own evil Ultimate level alter-ego - SkullGreymon.
"Surprised? I see you already know SkullGreymon," Devimon said silkily. "He's the result of the DNA Digivolution of Devidramon and Yashamon."
"He's mine," WarGreymon declared.
"Devimon, your presence has disrupted the balance of the forces of good in this island, and the sector as a whole! It is my duty to banish you forever from the Digital World!" Angemon exclaimed and stepped out from the team, and hovered in mid-air. Holding his golden rod, Angemon fixed his attention solely towards Devimon.
"Angemon, we meet again," Devimon said with a slight sneer which then contorted into a malovelent scowl. "I doubt you can ever beat me, Angemon, as my powers have grown much more stronger over the years I've spent trapped inside that whirlpool."
T.K. decided to check Devimon's information with the Digimon Analyzer.
-----------------
DIGIMON ANALYZER ------------------
Name : Devimon
Attribute : Virus
Level : Champion
Attack : Touch of Evil
Power Level : 80
Extra Info :
This devilish digimon had the power to turn digimons evil with his Black Gears,
and make them do his bidding.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"There must be a mistake!" T.K. said in disbelief. "How can Devimon have such high power level when he is a Champion?"
"In that case, we simply have to take him down together," Davis said.
Devimon laughed hard after hearing what Davis had just said. "I highly doubt that, foolish boy!" Devimon then raised both hands into the skies, and the black aura glowing around him became more intense and Devimon grew larger and larger until he was as tall as the Infinity Mountain himself. The Digidestined gasped in shock.
"We-- are -- in trouble," Davis choked out.
SkullGreymon and GrapLeomon then both leaped towards the Digidestined, attempting to crush all of them using brute force. Fortunately the digimons and Digidestined managed to move out from danger, and instantly a raging battle started between the two Ultimate evil digimons and the Destined digimons, except for Angemon.
WarGreymon immediately engaged himself into a battle with SkullGreymon, determined to destroy him quickly so that he would be able to help Angemon fighting Devimon. He was helped by his fellow friends. Meanwhile, GrapLeomon found himself battling five Champion digimons and instantly summoned for the Black Gear digimons to help him.
"Terra Force!!" WarGreymon fired a large fiery orange energy ball towards SkullGreymon. The attack blasted SkullGreymon instantly, but aparts from a few splinters on his bones SkullGreymon remained unscathed.
"Is that the best you can do? You disappoint me, WarGreymon, I expect better attacks from a Mega! Take this. Dark Shot!!" SkullGreymon retaliated. The attacks collided with WarGreymon's another attempted Terra Force.
"WarGreymon! Don't use up your energy on him!" Garurumon warned as he leaped in front of WarGreymon. "Howling Blaster!!"
"Weakling! You dare to fight me?" SkullGreymon growled as he deflected Garurumon's attack.
"Meteor Wing!!" Birdramon decided to attack from the air.
"Electro Shocker!!" Kabuterimon joined in, and the two attacks combined to produce a spectacular energy blasts which collided with SkullGreymon's Dark Shot, vaporizing the organic torpedo instantly upon contact, and hit SkullGreymon on his face.
"Good aim, guys!" Both Sora and Izzy shouted in delight.
Lillymon in the meantime, was hovering behind of SkullGreymon. "If I destroy the cannon deployer then SkullGreymon won't have anything to attack us with," she reasoned with herself. A flower bloomed on her hands, which opened up to reveal a cannon. "Flower Cannon!!" she blasted the cannon launcher with her attack, and destroyed it.
"Aaaarggh! You wretched little fairy digimon!" SkullGreymon snarled angrily and in pain, and slapped Lillymon with his strong skeletal claws. Lillymon was sent flying before she landed on the grounds with a loud thud, de-digivolving back into Palmon. He then attempted to step on Palmon, who was too weak to move.
"That's no way to treat a lady!" Ikkakumon exclaimed. "Harpoon Torpedo!!"
"Howling Blaster!!"
"Meteor Wing!!"
"Electro Shocker!!"
The four attacks blasted SkullGreymon away from Palmon, and while SkullGreymon was sent flying WarGreymon took the opportunity to end the fight. "Terra Force!!" He launched the massive fireball, which deleted SkullGreymon instantly.
GrapLeomon in the meantime fared much better than his fellow comrade, having only five Champion digimons to handle. However, he was especially wary of Ankylomon who had tried to stomp him and Gatomon attempting to hypnotize him with her eyes, so the two digimons were the first to be defeated. ExVeemon then attacked GrapLeomon with his Vee Laser, followed by Aquilamon and Stingmon with their respective attacks, but all of them were holding back, as GrapLeomon was formerly their ally. They tried to keep GrapLeomon at bay, and finally Stingmon resorted to his secret attack again after ExVeemon and Aquilamon both de-digivolved into their Rookie forms after receiving GrapLeomon's powerful killing wave attack.
"Hope this works," Stingmon said to himself. "Moon Shooter!!" He fired hundreds of silver poisonous needles towards GrapLeomon at close proximity. All the needles were jabbed into GrapLeomon's chest, and the lion howled in pain as the poison worked itself into GrapLeomon's system, draining him of all his powers. Stingmon then de-digivolved back into Wormmon. The remaining two Champions who were defeated earlier, Ankylomon and Gatomon, immediately saw their chances to defeat GrapLeomon while he was being drained of his energy. Ankylomon immobilized GrapLeomon by stomping on him, while Gatomon hypnotized GrapLeomon to render him harmless for the time being.
Angemon hovered in mid-air, preparing to battle the overgrown Devimon.
"Not easily intimidated aren't you, Angemon?" Devimon asked and loomed his right claw towards Angemon, who evaded the attack.
"I'm not scared of you!" Angemon said with determination. "Like I said earlier, I'm gonna take you down! Hand of Fate!!" Angemon launched a ray of pure energy beam towards Devimon, who countered it easily with his large claws.
"You're no match for me!" Devimon snarled. "It took you your own life back then to merely reduce me into a data spirit. Now, I am more powerful that even if you sacrifice yourself you won't be able to destroy me! Prepare to meet your doom, Angemon!" Devimon instantly swatted Angemon away, sending him crashing onto the mountains. He then fired a pure black energy ball filled with the power of evil towards Angemon, who hadn't enough time to either counter or evade the attack, and thus was blasted again.
"Say goodbye to your precious wings, Angemon!" Devimon fired two jets of red energy beams from his eyes, and scorched Angemon's pure white wings, burning them instantly with black flames.
"AAAAHHHHH!!" Angemon cried in pain, unable to stay airborne any longer and fell crashing on the grounds.
"Angemon!!" T.K. cried. "You monster!" he yelled at Devimon. He ran towards his fallen partner, whose wings were burning. T.K. desperately tried to extinguish the black flames by pouring earth and sand onto the wings, but to no avail. The flames seemed to possess some kind of magical attribute to itself which prevent it from being extinguished.
WarGreymon and Garurumon suddenly leaped from out of nowhere, attempting to protect T.K. and Angemon.
"Terra Force!!"
"Howling Blaster!!"
Devimon evaded WarGreymon's attack, but countered Garurumon's attack easily with his claws.
"Touch of Evil!!" he snarled viciously, and slashed both WarGreymon and Garurumon with both claws. Garurumon de-digivolved back into Gabumon, but WarGreymon, being stronger, was able to withstand the attack. However the fight he had with SkullGreymon earlier had taken some of his energy. Birdramon, Ikkakumon and Kabuterimon attempted to attack Devimon once again, but all of them were no match of him and were knocked out cold. While unconscious, they reverted back to their Rookie stages.
"When can you see, foolish beings, that neither of you are a match for me!"
WarGreymon stood up. "You still haven't defeated me, Devimon!"
"In that case, goodbye!!" Devimon fired crimson beams from his eyes, but WarGreymon quickly covered himself with his shield to protect himself. Unexpectedly, the beams shattered the shield which was emblazoned with the symbol of Courage. WarGreymon was utterly shocked, but refused to give up, while the other digimons watched helplessly.
"Terra Force!!"
Devimon evaded the attack again. "This, will not do!" he said angrily. His eyes began to glow bright red. Strong winds blew from the purple clouds and Devimon seemed somehow to absorb the powers from the winds, as the black aura glowing around him began to change into deep red. His whole body was enveloped with the deep red aura, and the Digidestined and digimons felt a sudden dread, knowing for sure that Devimon was about to digivolve, although not any of them had seen Devimon did that.
"It can't be ---" T.K. whispered in disbelief.
"Devimon Digivolve to..."
The glowing figure of Devimon began to grow slightly larger before revealing Devimon's new look. The newly digivolved form of Devimon didn't look much different from his former state. His white hair had grown longer, and his tattered black wings were now crimson. His face was covered by a silver metallic mask, showing three pairs of gleaming red eyes. The outfit didn't undergo much changes as well. However, Devimon looked more dangerous and malovelent while in this form, and even WarGreymon suddenly dreaded battling with him any longer.
"NeoDevimon!!"
"If Devimon digivolved... he's in Ultimate level now," T.K. said slowly, while Angemon had de-digivolved back to Patamon. A severely weakened, injured, drained-of-energy Patamon.
"Best if I end this quickly," WarGreymon decided. He launched himself into a large tornado, attempting to hit NeoDevimon with his tornado form. NeoDevimon however brutally slashed him continuously with his enhanced claws when WarGreymon was close enough.
"Stun Claw!!" NeoDevimon slashed WarGreymon on the chest again, leaving five lines of claw-marks on WarGreymon's chest. The lines began to glow red and instantly WarGreymon was stunned! Unable to move anymore, he was completely vulnerable towards NeoDevimon further attacks, and it looked like NeoDevimon wasn't going to let this chance passed by. WarGreymon grew weak, and began to glow. NeoDevimon realized that his opponent was going to de-digivolve, and he kicked WarGreymon hard on the chest where he was slashed earlier, and sent him crashing into the grounds. Upon impact, a small explosion erupted sending dusts all over, and when the dust cleared WarGreymon was no more, replaced by a knocked-out Agumon.
"Had enough?" NeoDevimon inquired cooly. "Such a shame, a Mega digimon beaten by an Ultimate!"
"You... you evil, vile monster!!" T.K. bellowed with rage.
"Ah, I am after all the devil monster. Evil and vile describe me well," NeoDevimon replied, all six eyes fixed on the Child of Hope. "Now, to do what I've always meant to do." NeoDevimon extended his enlarged claws, attempting to grab T.K. and Patamon, but he was blocked by the other Rookie digimons, except Agumon and Palmon, and the Champions Ankylomon and Gatomon.
"Move," NeoDevimon said threatheningly.
"Blue Blaster!" Gabumon attacked NeoDevimon's claw desperately, trying his best to protect T.K. and Patamon.
"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon exclaimed.
"Electro Shocker!" Tentomon joined in.
"Vee Head Butt!" Veemon headbutted NeoDevimon's claw after the three ealier attacks hit it.
"Insolent fools!" NeoDevimon snapped away all of the Rookies, sending them flying in all directions and making a clear path for him to grab T.K. and Patamon. He extracted Patamon from T.K.'s clutch and grabbed the Rookie away from T.K.
"You give him back!! Unhand him!" T.K. yelled angrily.
"I didn't forget about you too," NeoDevimon's other hand loomed towards T.K., and grabbed T.K. hard, revealing only T.K.'s head while his other parts of body was securely clasped by the claw. Patamon wasn't visible, being tiny himself and NeoDevimon's claw was far too big.
"T.K.!!!!" The Digidestined cried out worriedly.
"Patamon!!!" The digimons called over their friend, who was in grave danger.
"I shall enjoy squashing the life out of you! To think that the two of you are prophecized as my downfall! You caused me much sufferings over the past four years, and now it's payback time!" NeoDevimon squeezed Patamon, deciding to torture the Rookie first before killing him. T.K. felt absolutely helpless as he heard Patamon's agonizing scream. It was too much for him to bear, and T.K. began to remember all his past adventures with Patamon... how he had taken care of Patamon's digi-egg form after their first battle with Devimon, the times when he'd successfully digivolved Angemon into MagnaAngemon during their battle with Piedmon, their three years long separation, the first time Patamon Armor Digivolved into Pegasusmon, and finally how Angemon and Ankylomon DNA Digivolved into Shakkoumon.
"Patamon..." T.K. said, tears trickling his cheeks. "Patamon..."
"Aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!" Patamon screamed as NeoDevimon squeezed him harder.
The other Digidestined were angered and worried at the same time, watching NeoDevimon torturing their friends.
"We have to do something!" Matt cried, feeling scared and angry at the same time.
"I can't... Trans-Digivolve!" Kari cried hysterically. She and Gatomon had attempted to Trans Digivolve but failed as Gatomon was still too weak. "I'm sorry!!"
"I'll do it!" Ankylomon released the unconscious GrapLeomon and ran towards NeoDevimon. "Tail Hammer!!" he stomped his tail towards NeoDevimon's claw, but it had no effect on the evil digimon.
"Fools!!" NeoDevimon hissed, and blasted Ankylomon away with the beams from his eyes, de-digivolving Ankylomon back into Armadillomon.
Patamon's pained screams grew weaker and weaker before it finally stopped. T.K. was worried that NeoDevimon had successfully destroyed Patamon once again.
"NOOOOO!!! PATAMON!!" he yelled. "Don't you leave me again. Patamon!!!" Hearing no reply, or no scream from Patamon, T.K. panicked. "Patamon?!!"
NeoDevimon shifted his attention towards T.K. and sneered. "Your precious Patamon's gone!"
"Wha---?!" T.K. managed to choke out, disbelievingly. All of the sudden, his surroundings became silent. He was shocked, but at the same time a new feeling emerged from within himself. His mind began to pick up a feeling of hope, and knowing where it came from gave T.K. a glimmer of hope as well. Warmth began to spread all over his body, and suddenly he felt a foreign heartbeat, synchronizing with his own heartbeat. "No... he's not gone," T.K. whispered, and pure silver lights flashed out from NeoDevimon's claw where he was holding Patamon. A couple of seconds later, T.K. himself glimmered with silverish-green aura.
"What's happening?" Matt asked. "What's happening to my brother?"
"He's Trans-Digivolving!" Kari replied with awe.
The Diginizer of Hope glowed with green lights and the lights burnt NeoDevimon's hand, forcing him to release T.K. T.K. began to ascend towards the sky, and soon Patamon emerged from NeoDevimon's other hand. The two of them coalesced between each other before the fusion process began.
"Patamon Trans-Digivolve to..."
They merged together, and a silver figure of a muscular man in a fetal position appeared. The man stood upright and four pair of silvery wings sprouted from his backs, making him to appear as an angel. White outfit quickly adorned itself on the angel as boots and armor formed on his foot and left hand. The angel extended his left hand and a violet shield formed on top of the black armor, while his right hand was raised upwards. A glowing purple blade emerged from the golden bracelet which appeared instantly on his right wrist, as violet masked materialized in front of the angel's face, covering the upper half of it. Finally, yellow ribbon engraved with unique characters swirled around the angel, and the he struck a ready-for-battle pose. A stronger angel, or rather an archangel, was born!
"MagnaAngemon!"
"It's another Trans-Digivolution," Kari said in awe, as she and the others watched MagnaAngemon hovering at the skies, radiating with pure silver-white aura.
MagnaAngemon stared silently towards NeoDevimon.
"We've Trans-Digivolved, Patamon," MagnaAngemon said slowly, his voice sounded more like Angemon than the usual voice of MagnaAngemon. It was actually the more matured version of T.K.'s own voice. T.K. had became MagnaAngemon, with Patamon to guide him from inside.
"We sure did," came Patamon's reply. "Thank you."
"Huh? For what?" MagnaAngemon asked, perplexed.
"For not giving up on me. For not giving up Hope!"
NeoDevimon looked towards his arch-enemy, the archangel destined to destroy him. It was stated in the prophecy he had uncovered during his early years of living in the Digital World - he would meet his downfall in the hands of the youngest one. The prophecy was fulfilled four years ago when he was destroyed by Angemon, but his spirit lingered. With the help of Daemon, he was restored to the physical plane and was given greater powers. What was Daemon's intention, he would never know. All he did was giving out his digital DNA to Daemon in return of powers to ascend to Ultimate level.
"Surely you don't think by digivolving, you've enough power to defeat me? I am much powerful than any Ultimate level digimon!" he said indignantly, and attacked MagnaAngemon with his powerful claws.
MagnaAngemon was calm. "Well, looks like we just have to wait and see," he said, evading the attack quickly by flying higher.
Then, he raised his right hand where he wore the large golden bracelet which housed the violet laser sword Excalibur. The sword glowed brilliantly before changing its color into radiant silver. MagnaAngemon then loomed with great speed towards NeoDevimon's gigantic form, thrusting his glimmering Excalibur forward. Aiming for the heart, MagnaAngemon's sword pierced NeoDevimon's body and flew through the hole made by the sword.
NeoDevimon shrieked after receiving the unexpected attack. His body now had a large hole, where strange greenish black liquid were oozing out from it. It was a fatal attack from MagnaAngemon, but NeoDevimon was able to withstand it owing to his high power.
"You'll pay for this!!" he bellowed angrily. "Stun Claw!!"
"Excalibur!!" MagnaAngemon countered, thrusting his sword again. The two attacks collided and caused a big explosion. MagnaAngemon was thrown backwards, while NeoDevimon merely staggered a little. However, because he was wounded NeoDevimon lost more power. He clutched the left part of his chest to stop the green-black liquid, apparently it was his blood, from flowing out his body. Several big drops of the liquid already splattered the grounds, releasing strange vapor which had an extremely foul odor upon contact with the grounds.
NeoDevimon tried to heal his wound using his power, but unfortunately the ability was limited to when he was in his Champion form only. As an Ultimate, he was stronger but less-versatile in abilities.
Seeing that NeoDevimon was weakened from the blow, MagnaAngemon raised his sword towards the sky again. "Everyone," he said in a steady voice which had a commanding tone in it. "Now's our chance! Let's combine our powers together to defeat NeoDevimon once and for all!"
Instantly, white beams shot out from the Digidestined' Diginizers and Digivices, and the powers from the beams were absorbed by the Excalibur. MagnaAngemon then focused his own powers, and made a circular motion in front of him.
"Gate of Destiny!!"
A strange circular, round golden gateway appeared, and it opened to reveal a dark vortex. Strange force came out from the gate, dangerously sucking everything which was in front of the gate. MagnaAngemon brought the gate nearer to NeoDevimon, attempting to suck him into the dimension where Piedmon and his horde of Vilemons had fallen victim four years ago.
"No! It can't happen like this! I've waited for so long!" NeoDevimon shrieked. He panicked and struggled to stick his foot on the ground. His large size also helped him in maintaining balace from the Gate of Destiny's pulling force.
"Looks like he needs more persuasion, T.K.," Patamon nudged from the back of MagnaAngemon's mind.
MagnaAngemon smiled slightly. "I know just the thing he need."
The Gate of Destiny then flashed with silver lights, and the force that was pulling NeoDevimon into it increased. NeoDevimon struggled even harder, but apparently the Gate was stronger as it began to lift NeoDevimon into the air slowly. NeoDevimon was flustered, the more he attempted to break free from the Gate's force, the stronger he was pulled towards the gate. He raised both claws in his dire attempt to stop the Gate, but something unexpected happened. A sound of something cracking loudly filled the air, and NeoDevimon screamed loudly in pain. In split seconds, both his arms were torn-off from his body and were pulled into the Gate of Destiny.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" NeoDevimon howled.
Next, the silver mask he wore was pulled out from his face, revealing an ugly, gray face which was contorted hideously. All his six eyes were flashing red, and released red firebeams randomly. Two beams were aimed straight towards MagnaAngemon, but were deflected by MagnaAngemon's shield. The black aura surrounding NeoDevimon suddenly vanished, and he started to shrink until he was no taller than MagnaAngemon himself. The next thing happened in a blink of the eye: The Gate of Destiny showered NeoDevimon with silver lights and pulled the villain into it. The last thing all of them heard was NeoDevimon's sickening cry before the Gate closed and diminished into data particles.
"He's gone. He's finally gone!" MagnaAngemon said, unbelievingly. "He's gone!"
"Finally," Patamon said. "T.K., we should destroy the Black Gears which are influencing GrapLeomon and all the other digimons."
MagnaAngemon nodded, and summoned the last bit of his powers and channeled them towards his silver wings. "Magna Antidote!!" he said. The wings glimmered with multi-colored lights, and released a warm beam of rainbow towards the unconscious GrapLeomon and the Black Gear-infested digimons. Instantly, the rainbow destroyed all the Black Gears, and all the digimons were knocked out unconscious due to their earlier loss of powers, which were absorbed by Devimon.
The other Digidestined cheered loudly and the digimons jumped around happily, rejoicing the fact that their enemy was gone, forever.
"You did it, bro!" Matt exclaimed.
"Hooray for T.K. and Patamon!!" Yolei cheered.
"Yolei, that's MagnaAngemon up there!" came Hawkmon's comment amidst the deafening sound of Digidestined and digimon cheering.
"Oh whatever Hawkmon!!"
"They did it," Kari said. "T.K. and Patamon are the second pair."
MagnaAngemon descended slowly towards his friend, and as soon as his feet reached the grounds he de-digivolved back into a exhausted-looking T.K. whom immediately sprawled onto the grounds, and Tokomon, Patamon's In-Training form. T.K.'s face was dirty, his shirt torn slightly and his hair dishevelled (more dishevelled than before), but other than that he looked perfectly happy.
"Finally, T.K.'s able to let go of the thing that's haunting him for so long," Cody whispered as he looked at the tired pair.
Davis and Matt helped T.K. to stand. "Man, that was awesome, T.A.!" Davis said.
T.K. looked at Davis earnestly, and muttered, "Davis... for the thousandth time, my name is T.K.!"
