VENGEANCE

Chapter 18 - A Change of Heart

Davis was rolling on his bed, trying to get some sleep. However he failed miserably, as the air inside his room was warm and Davis felt as if he was being grilled on a fire. The air-conditioning inside the Motomiya household had chosen an apparently wrong time to go haywire, which meant that for a few days of summer they would have to withstand the intense heat without it's aid.

Sighing, Davis got up and took a comic book on his desk, and began fanning his body with it, desperate for some way to cool off. He had thought of taking a shower, but he just did that before retiring to bed and the idea didn't seem to appeal to him although it was rather tempting. Looking at the end of the bed, he saw that while Veemon was sleeping, it wasn't a peaceful sleep. He could hear the little blue dragon grunting and complaining in his sleep, and could see the sweat that was forming all over the reptile. Not to say that he was in a better condition himself, Davis took his towel and wiped off the sweat from his body.

For a few minutes, Davis sat on the chair not knowing what else to do. Maybe he should had taken Ken's offer to stay with him for a few days. However seeing that Ken was busy with his new volunteer job as a tutor to the younger kids around Odaiba and Tamashi, where he lived, Davis didn't want to be a bother and politely declined.

T.K. would had asked him to come over as well if it weren't for his mother to suddenly decide for a short holiday week to visit their relatives at France. They were leaving in two days time, and Davis knew that they had a lot to packing up to do. Earlier that day, Veemon was seething in jealousy as Patamon related to him about a certain pretty digimon called Floramon that he and T.K. met during the digimon invasion all over the world half a year before. T.K. wasn't any better, he kept saying about meeting a certain beautiful French Digidestined girl whose name seemed to escape Davis's mind for the time being.

Cody was ruled out as he was becoming more busy with his Kendo practice for the upcoming tournament, and Yolei too because Davis didn't think that it would be appropriate for him to just show up at her doorstep and asked to stay over for a few days. Sure, they were close friends but Yolei's family was large in number and Davis didn't want to cause a certain best friend of his to become jealous. Nothing had been declared yet, but both parties had been spotted to give each other subtle hints, and luckily both were smart enough to notice the hints! Thnking of it just made Davis chuckle on his own.

Davis's trains of thoughts were interrupted by a strange series of beepings coming from his Diginizer. The device was blinking with blue lights without any particular reason, and the beepings had seemed to be successful in waking up Veemon.

"Urm... Davis? What's going on...?" the little dragon asked groggily.

Davis opened his drawers and took out his Diginizer of Courage, and his D-Terminal.

"I don't know," he said simply, but suddenly he remembered something very familiar. Kari had mentioned that it had happened to her before, and it led up to her encounters with Hiroshi, and later Wizardmon who was guarding the Seiryuu Archipelago. Immediately he knew that something, or someone, was beckoning him to come to the Digital World.

"C'mon Veemon, we need to go to the Digital World now," he quickly said, and immediately got dressed. Formerly only in his boxers Davis now was dressed in a simple grey sleeveless T-shirt, a pair of brown shorts, and his trusty goggles.

"What? But I'm still sleepy," Veemon complained as his eyes began to droop.

"Come on now buddy," Davis said patiently as he took his Diginizer and D-Terminal. He suddenly had an idea on how to wake Veemon. "Or I'm going there without you. Maybe they'll have lots of food over there, and I'm gonna eat all of them alone!"

"Oh no you don't! Bad news for you, but I'm up!"

'Works every time,' Davis grinned, and pressed the right button on his Diginizer. "Digi-Port, open!"


With all the equipments for his experiment onto the DemiDevimon was safely transferred into the Protocol Ruins, the space around the Velvet Claw's bridge had never been even more spacious. Chaos Piedmon and Chaos Seadramon were both at each sides of the throne, where Chaos Specter was sitting. He had retired to his private chamber earlier, but after a few hours of sleep the interdimensional Digital World conqueror decided to come back to the bridge. From his facial features, both generals knew that their master was somehow drained of his power, and this was confirmed when Chaos Specter issued his command.

"Make sure everything is under control. That last fight with Pharaohmon was draining all of my powers. It's been a while since I've resorted to use that as a resort."

Chaos Piedmon nodded calmly. "You should be resting, master. We'll make sure that nothing will go wrong."

"No, the last time you've said that Harmona town had escaped my clutches," Chaos Specter said flatly, and turned his attention to face Chaos Seadramon. "And should you be monitoring that Marina Bay Village?"

Chaos Seadramon hung his face down. "I've assigned my minion, WaruSeadramon, to watch over the area this day."

"Fool, that's the folly Chaos Piedmon had done, by leaving that MetalTyrannomon at Harmona. Look at what had happened, five of my Chaos Forces were deleted. And where is that traitorous digimon anyway? I know he is not deleted yet!"

"We've yet to locate his whereabouts, master," Chaos Piedmon answered slowly. "But if you wish for me to find him..."

"Leave him be. I've ordered Chaos-AI to take care of that. We have a more pressing matter to be concerned of. Chaos Piedmon, have you proceeded with our plan to conquer Tyranno Valley?"

"Not yet, my lord. The defences there are strong, it will not do us any good to infiltrate the valley now. The Chaos Forces are mostly consist of Champion digimons, while digimons of Tyranno Valley are known for having a lot of Ultimate and Armor digimons. The leader, MasterTyrannomon is a very powerful Ultimate digimon, some say that his power rivals a Mega. It is because of his powers, bestowed upon him by his predecessor when the current MasterTyrannomon was elected as the leader of the clan."

"Interesting report, maybe I should go there myself," Chaos Specter muttered, his emerald eyes glinting. "That is, when I've recovered from my loss of powers."

"Don't trouble yourself, my lord," Chaos Piedmon offered. "You only have to issue the command and I or Chaos Seadramon will do it for you."

Chaos Specter was suddenly angered, but his expression didn't give that away. However his tone suddenly became death-cold as he said: "Are you saying that I'm not capable of fighting? For your information, generals, who do you think have subdued Zhuqiaomon alone, while the three of you took more than long enough time to even give Azulongmon or the other two Harmonious Ones a match?!"

"You did, my lord. I'm sorry for my..."

"And speaking of the THREE of you... where is Chaos Wargreymon?!"

Both generals looked at each other, but it was Chaos Seadramon who decided to reply.

"We thought you've assigned him to look for the Zeed Crystal, master?"

"That was TWO weeks ago! He should be back here by now!!"

"Then here I am!" a bold reply came out from the corner of the room. Chaos Specter and his two generals saw Chaos Wargreymon flew into the bridge from the direction where the reply came from.

"What took you so long?" Chaos Piedmon asked with a sneer.

"We're beginning to think that you didn't make it to the journey," Chaos Seadramon added.

Chaos Wargreymon didn't reply, but he stopped in mid-air hovering at the level of Chaos Specter's throne. Chaos Specter was at first slightly baffled by the defiance shown by the general instead of the usual reverance, but his attention shifted to a purple crystal that was embedded on Chaos Wargreymon's chest.

"Welcome back, Chaos Wargreymon. I see you've succeeded in carrying out your assigned mission," Chaos Specter said cooly.

"I know everything," was Chaos Wargreymon's sudden reply. "I remember my past."

Chaos Specter raised an eyebrow, and his face harbored a small smile. "And I assume that's what have kept you from coming back?"

"No. I was held back because of something else that I thought I have to do."

"Oh, and what's that?" Chaos Seadramon asked snidely.

Chaos Wargreymon turned his gaze towards the sea-dragon digimon, and both eyes met.

"Let's just say that you should have been watching your assigned area more carefully."

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

Chaos Wargreymon didn't reply but everyone could see that he was serious. His next sentence however completely caught everyone off-guard.

"I'm leaving," he announced shortly and slowly. "I'm no longer your servant, Chaos Specter!"

"How dare you!" Chaos Piedmon shouted. "Have you no respect for our master?"

"You must be out of your mind!" Chaos Seadramon declared. "And what did you mean by leaving?!"

Chaos Wargreymon glared at Chaos Piedmon intently. "He's no longer MY master, clown! And the two of you are no longer my comrades!"

"Like we've ever considered you as one, Chaos Wargreymon! Or is it only Wargreymon now? You've always stuck out like a sore thumb!" Chaos Piedmon interjected, both his hands were already holding his swords. "What baffles me is your reason of leaving. Aren't you the one who's always trying to prove to the master that you're stronger than me or Chaos Seadramon?"

"So why a sudden change of heart?" Chaos Seadramon added.

Chaos Wargreymon was silent, his mind was reeling of all the events that had been occuring to him lately. The encounter with the Digidestined of Light had sparked a forgotten memory within him and that had been the beginning. He began to have some doubts albeit his obedience to Chaos Specter. This was triggered again and again while he was with Kuzuhamon, whose words had somehow reached his heart. Never had he felt remorseful after killing digimons, but after meeting the sorceress Chaos Wargreymon began to feel remorseful of killing the digimons of Fire and Dark regions of Kulon Mines. His remaining faith to Chaos Specter diminished after saving the Tapirmons from the menacing Fangmon, and having the digi-egg hatched within his own hands.

"I know my real path of life now. I was never meant to be a part of this!" Chaos Wargreymon spat, somewhat harshly.

"And you're turning your back now against all of us?" Chaos Piedmon asked warily.

"You're forgetting what the master had done to you, to all of us. Traitor!" Chaos Seadramon declared.

"I've always known that this is coming, Chaos Wargreymon. From the moment I decided to take you under my wing, I've always known that you are prone to betraying me. However, since you have a lot of potential I still keep you, train you and eventually giving you a portion of my own power, making you my Chaos General. I have no doubts that you are the strongest of the three, but emotionally you are always the weakest. Your earlier hesitations to kill during the early days you've entered my service were a clue to what you would have become, although in time those of what you call a conscience had left you, and you emerge as the most ruthless warrior I've ever seen," Chaos Specter said calmly, although no one could have mistaken the fury in his eyes and a dark aura began to glow from his body.

Chaos Wargreymon was undaunted. "So you've known all along."

"I do, and that's why I've prepared for this!" Chaos Specter rose up from the throne, and instantly his cobra-staff materialized in his right hand. Without warning, a simple wave of the staff caused the eyes of the cobra to shoot out two flames of slithering serpents towards Chaos Wargreymon.

Chaos Wargreymon quickly energized a counter attack, forming a small Terra Force within his claws. However the serpents glided away from him easily and with unimaginable speed the two serpents entered both of his eyes. The original green orbs of Chaos Wargreymon suddenly turned to burning red. His body erupted with dark aura similar to Chaos Specter before limping to the floor unconscious.

"Do you really think I'm going to let you get away that easily, Chaos Wargreymon? After you have that Zeed Crystal on your body? You could have ruined everything!" Chaos Specter whispered, and slumped back on the throne looking even weaker than before. Both Chaos Piedmon and Chaos Seadramon were shocked to see their master subdued a stronge Mega digimon such as Chaos Wargreymon.

"The next time any of you are thinking of doing the same thing, well think again," Chaos Specter warned softly.

"We won't betray you, master. Our loyalty to you have never wavered," Chaos Piedmon said and kneeled on the floor. Chaos Seadramon bowed his body low onto the floor.

"Get up, both of you!" Chaos Specter snapped and stared on the limp body of Chaos Wargreymon. "I have no doubts on your loyalties. However rest assured that Chaos Wargreymon's loyalness will not stray ever again!"

Chaos Piedmon and Chaos Seadramon couldn't help but to feel slightly glad of their rival's downfall.

"With Chaos Wargreymon's return with the Zeed Crystal, I can finally proceed with the next step of my plan," Chaos Specter muttered.

"What are you going to do with him, my lord?" Chaos Piedmon inquired politely while Chaos Specter was aiming his staff towards Chaos Wargreymon's body.

"Turn him around, Chaos Piedmon," he instructed, as Chaos Wargreymon was lying with his face down. "Turn his body upwards, I want to see the Zeed Crystal that is now embedded on his body."

Chaos Piedmon did as he was instructed, and Chaos Specter used his staff to send a jet of thunderbolts towards the crystal. However, the Zeed Crystal let out a glowing purple aura around itself, nullifying the thunderbolts from Chaos Specter's cobra staff. The purple aura seemed to be forming a force-field around the crystal, making it indestructable and well-protected. Images of two serpents entwined to each other glowed suddenly from within the Zeed Crystal, before fading again.

"I can't get the crystal out from Chaos Wargreymon's body!" he said furiously, but suddenly a smile began to form on his pale face. The smile was a wicked one, but it usually a sign to both generals that Chaos Specter had thought out of a new plan, or a better plan.

"What do you have in mind, my lord?" Chaos Seadramon asked nervously.

Chaos Specter seemed to be temporarily lost in his thoughts, and was saying something to himself. His voice however was clear enough to be heard by the others.

"That DemiDevimon is not strong enough to evolve all the way to Mega, although with that fool Devimon's DNA he still isn't showing any progress. However keeping him is important, as he has the data of the Kimeramon created by the former Digimon Emperor inside him. Only with him my plan will work. To make the Zeed Crystal fuse with DemiDevimon I will have to fuse Chaos Wargreymon as well. I don't know if this forcedDNA Digivolution between DemiDevimon and Chaos Wargreymon will work, but..."

"MetalTyrannomon's current place of location detected. Waiting for command to show the location on the wide screen."

Chaos-AI's announcement didn't seem to attract Chaos Specter's attention, and the two generals looked at each other contemplating whether to cut their master's trains of thoughts or not.

"Master?" Chaos Piedmon said slowly, careful not to sound rude.

"What?!" Chaos Specter snapped irritably, annoyed with the abrupt interference.

"Chaos-AI has announced that she'd found the location of MetalTyrannomon. She's waiting for your order to present MetalTyrannomon's location in the wide screen."

"Proceed."

"Acknowledged. Showing MetalTyrannomon's location on the wide-screen now."

The blank, black wide-screen suddenly flickered with life and a map of the East Sector showed up. A red glow was seen on the southern quadrant, at a location which Chaos Piedmon knew only too well.

"Harmona Town?"


Davis and Veemon walked out from the Digi-port and instantly found themselves at a familiar location. However the place was in a midst of a warzone. They were standing in front of the entrance into Harmona Town. Even before entering, the two of them could hear cries of various digimons and a loud menacing roar which sounded mechanical, and familiar.

"I don't think I'm gonna see any food here," Veemon said in terror. "What's happening here?!"

"That roar... sounds like old big and ugly is back! Are you ready, Veemon?"

"Sure thing, Davis. You're lucky that I'm already full from dinner!"

Davis sweatdropped as he pointed his Diginizer of Courage towards Veemon. "Diginizer of Courage, Energize!"

"Veemon Digivolve to... ExVeemon!!"

Quickly both of them entered Harmona and saw MetalTyrannomon fighting two of the three Elders of the town. WaruMonzaemon and Pandamon didn't seem to be faring to well, while Monzaemon was sprawled on the ground. Davis and ExVeemon could see Starmon, Deputymon, Guardromon and Fangmon scattered all around MetalTyrannomon, they seemed to be weakening and injured. Guardromon seemed to be suffering the worst; smokes were coming out from his body and its right hand seemed like it was going to detatched itself from the android's body. Starmon and Deputymon both suffered minor cuts on their bodies, while Fangmon was seen without his weapon.

"Davis! ExVeemon!!" a voice called out from the air. They looked up and saw Stingmon descending from the sky, with ToyAgumon on his shoulder.

"Oh we're so glad you're here!" ToyAgumon cried happily.

"What's going on here?" Davis asked as Stingmon landed smoothly on the ground.

"When MetalTyrannomon said that he was going to come back, we didn't realize that it'd take him only a couple of days to do that. He attacked Harmona during the dead of the night while the townsmon were sleeping. The elders tried to block him from going to the houses and the villages outside the town center, but he's gotten way stronger!" Stingmon informed them.

"So let's help them!" ExVeemon said. Stingmon placed ToyAgumon gently beside Davis, and flew with ExVeemon towards the raging MetalTyrannomon. As they arrived at the battlefield, MetalTyrannomon had successfully blasted away both WaruMonzaemon and Pandamon with his Giga Destroyer II attack.

"Hey! Remember me?!" ExVeemon cried from the air, and fired his signature attack towards the Ultimate digimon.

"Spiking Strike!!" Stingmon followed, and thrusted his glowing purple blade into MetalTyrannomon's body.

Both attacks however rebounded from MetalTyrannomon, and the mechanical-dinosaur digimon laughed loudly.

"Pathetic! Giga Destroyer II!!" he retaliated, and fired two missiles from his claws, aimed towards the newcomers. The attacks were blasted at such close proximity and with amazing speed that neither ExVeemon nor Stingmon had time to evade. As the result, they were hit squarely on the chest and both fell onto the grounds.

"I think it's time to have both of your wings clipped, just to make the fight a little bit more fair," MetalTyrannomon said menacingly, and grabbed ExVeemon with one claw and Stingmon with the other. He looked back and forth between ExVeemon and Stingmon, clearly deciding who would be the first one. Finally settling his gazes onto Stingmon, he threw ExVeemon onto the metallic surface of the grounds and put one leg onto the dragon's head to stop him from escaping.

"Let me go!!" Stingmon shouted, trying desperately to wriggle himself free from MetalTyrannomon's grasp.

"You've been a thorn at my side for a while, Stingmon," MetalTyrannomon said slowly and smirked. "I shall enjoy devouring your data, you're a strong one compared to the five losers I've had during our last encounter."

"Devour on this! Insect Antenna!!" Stingmon yelled, and sent crimson thunderbolts towards MetalTyrannomon's eyes from his antennae. Immediately he was released from his grasp as MetalTyrannomon howled in pain, clutching his grazed eyes. ExVeemon was free as well and quickly flew out of the way.

"You hungry? Try this on for size! Vee Laser!!" ExVeemon cried loudly and attacked the other eye.

"Don't forget your dessert! Moon Shooter!!" Stingmon fired hundreds of poisonous needles towards MetalTyrannomon to paralyze him completely. The needles were all shot at various spots on MetalTyrannomon's body, with some of them rebounded upon contact while a small portion of the needles sunk into the organic parts of the dinosaur's body. Shouting due to excrutiating pain he was experiencing, MetalTyrannomon rolled on the grounds trying desperately to get the needles out of his body. It wasn't an easy job as his eyesight were robbed out of him from Stingmon's earlier attack.

"He's a strong one, I'll give him that," Stingmon said as he flew near ExVeemon. "He's not even paralyzed yet."

"Oh give it time. I've seen how it works before, and trust me it's not a pretty sight!" ExVeemon said lightly, remembering the incident at the File Island. "But I really have to say that you are pretty strong for being able to sustain your Champion form after using that attack. The Stingmon I knew instantly dedigivolved back to his Rookie form after using that attack."

"I do feel weaker now, but I'm glad that we've taken care of MetalTyrannomon," Stingmon replied.

MetalTyrannomon suddenly jumped up from the grounds, landing both his feet perfectly. "You two are so going to pay for this!! How DARE you rob me out of my eyesight, and poisoned me!"

Both ExVeemon and Stingmon looked at MetalTyrannomon confusedly; the Ultimate digimon had his back facing them while he was talking.

"You might want to turn around," ExVeemon muttered.

MetalTyrannomon however remained unmoved. "How dare you... I'll show you...." His body glowed with the eerie black and crimson lights, just as how it had been during the times when he absorbed the other Chaos Forces' data particles. "I'm saving this in case of desperate measures, but now it's look like I have no choice but to unleash my REAL power! Consider this an appetizer!!"

He roared an earthshaking roar, causing all the windows of the buildings in the town square to shatter due to the intense vibrations of the sound waves. His roar became louder and more sinister as black and crimson lights enveloped his body.

"Don't look now, but I think he's gonna digivolve!" ExVeemon said worriedly.

"If MetalTyrannomon digivolves, he's going to be in his Mega form!" Stingmon exclaimed.

"MetalTyrannomon Mega Digivolve to... Chaosdramon!!"

Chaosdramon definitely towered over both Stingmon and ExVeemon, his height propelled until the rooftop of the buildings around the town center. His body was black with red linings, and was heavily armored with strong red metal. Powerful cannons similar to those of Machinedramon's were seen perched on his back. Strong crunchers adorned his hands as claws, and his face bore slight resemblance to his predigivolved form but with a sharp horn on his snout.

"Now that I'm a Mega digimon, what are you two weaklings going to do now?" Chaosdramon asked and swatted both digimons away with his claws. Both digimons were sent flying over to the site where the remnants of the statues of Seraphimon, Zanbamon and Gryphonmon stood. The impact from ExVeemon and Stingmon had destroyed the remainings of the statues.

"What the... he really can see us again!" Stingmon grunted as he struggled to get up.

"Fools! I've more than just a mere pair of eyesight as a method of seeing!" Chaosdramon bellowed. "But thanks to my digivolution, yes I indeed CAN see much better now! It'll be a lot more easier for me to destroy the both of you!"

Davis, with ToyAgumon on his side were watching the battle from the safety of the forest.

"Oh man, that dude is as big as Paildramon!" Davis said while checking out his Digimon Analyzer.

----------------- DIGIMON ANALYZER ------------------
Name : Chaosdramon
Attribute : Virus
Level : Mega
Type : Cyborg
Specialty : Machine

Attacks : Hyper Mugen Cannon, Chaos Cruncher
Power Level : 109

Chaosdramon is known to be as another digivolutionary offshoot for MetalTyrannomon's evolution line apart from the usual Machinedramon. Known to be ferocious and having more firepower, its Hyper Mugen Cannon attack will destroy even a small mountain while the Chaos Cruncher is sharp and hard as diamonds.
------------------------------------------------------------

"No way, Chaosdramon is even stronger than WarGreymon!" Davis exclaimed in a total shock, remembering that Tai's WarGreymon didn't even exceed one hundred in terms of level of power.

"Oh no, how are they going to beat him?" ToyAgumon asked despairingly. "They're no match for Chaosdramon!"

"Hang in there, ExVeemon, Stingmon."

Meanwhile, both ExVeemon and Stingmon were trying as hard as they could to battle the newly-evolved Mega, but they were both outmatched in terms of size and power. Chaosdramon had the advantages, yet he never used them yet against the both of them. Instead, he seemed to relying more on his brute strength.

"It looks like he's taking his own sweet time to attack us with all he got, Stingmon!" ExVeemon shouted.

"That means we're going offensive!" Stingmon declared, and prepared to attack the Mega with his Spiking Strike.

"No.. don't go to close to him!" ExVeemon warned, but Stingmon was too determined to stop Chaosdramon that he didn't listen to ExVeemon. Having more experience, ExVeemon knew that it was better for him to fight from afar as he could see that Chaosdramon was up to something. Stingmon however was a newly-evolved fighter, thus his decisions were rash.

Chaosdramon immediately saw his chance, and hurled his right claw attempting to grab Stingmon. Stingmon however evaded the claw with great agility and tried to strike Chaosdramon on the abdomen, where no armor was donned. Chaosdramon reeled himself a little, and successfully caught Stingmon using his left claw.

"I got you again, Stingmon! And don't even bother to attack my eyes again, I have other means of seeing instead of depending solely on my eyes!"

"Insect Antenna!!" Stingmon shouted, hoping that the attack would work again. However Chaosdramon's eyes shot out an energy beam which countered the attack again.

"And I have a way to stop it from coming," Chaosdramon added. "Do you know how my Chaos Cruncher works, Stingmon?"

Stingmon saw where this was going and struggled as hard as he could to break free. His wings immediately entered the compartment on Stingmon's back, safely hidden if Chaosdramon had any idea to harm his sole way of flying.

"Let me go!"

"They say my Chaos Cruncher is one of the sharpest and hardest around," the Mega continued with a malicious tone. He sneered sinisterly and began squeezing Stingmon hard, attempting to crush Stingmon's armor. Stingmon cried loudly in excruciating pain, feeling cracks beginning to form on his green armor. Within any minute, Chaosdramon would destroy the armor and crushed his body completely.

"Stingmon!!" ExVeemon cried out, attempting to blast Chaosdramon with his laser attack again. "Vee -"

"Attack and you'll only hit your dear friend!" Chaosdramon boomed, and held Stingmon in front of him. "Maybe you aren't made of Chrome Digizoid, but you'll serve as a shield just fine Stingmon."

"You... you're EVIL! You're gonna pay for this!" ExVeemon said angrily, quickly deenergized his laser from the X-mark on his chest.

"ExVeemon, just attack him! Don't bother about me!!" Stingmon yelled, and still attempting to wriggle himself free. "The town needs you! I'm counting on you! Don't hesitate to attack him, I know you can!"

"Stingmon..."

"Don't... mind me. I'll... even... help you... by giving... all my powers!" Stingmon stopped struggling and began to glow with green aura.

"Stingmon NOOO!!" ExVeemon cried out, remembering what had happened during the fight between him and Kimeramon. Ken's Wormmon had given out every bit of his power to him, and ended up dead.

Davis and ToyAgumon gasped loudly as they watched what was happening to Stingmon. But suddenly Davis's Diginizer of Courage began to made more intense beeping sounds, and glowed with blue aura of lights.

Transdigivolution Activate!

"What in the world?" Davis wondered out loud after hearing the mechanical voice, which sounded suspiciously like Gennai. But before he could think any longer, suddenly he was enveloped with blue lights and was teleported into the battle scene, standing next only to ExVeemon.

The shining red symbol of Courage began to form behind Davis and ExVeemon. The symbol then glowed with intense red and blue lights, showering both Davis and ExVeemon. ExVeemon began to feel that his energy increasing, while Stingmon's body glowed even brighter. Then, two straight jets of green light emitted from Stingmon's eyes and entered ExVeemon's. The insect warrior began to shrink and escaped Chaosdramon's clutches before turning into three streaks of green lights. The green lights were aimed onto the metallic grounds before changing into three small light green digimons whom Davis recognized as Minomons, Stingmon's In-training form.

"We've done all we can, Davis, ExVeemon," one of them spoke up.

"Now it's up to you guys!" Minomon II chirped.

"Give it your best shot!" Minomon III cried exuberantly, albeit his condition. The three of them were noticably injured, but otherwise safe. Starmon, Deputymon and Guardromon quickly rushed to pick up the three vulnerable little digimons, taking them away to a safe distance.

Stingmon's avatar materialized around ExVeemon before it entered the dragon's body, while Davis and ExVeemon began to glimmer with silver-blue lights. ExVeemon suddenly de-digivolved back to Veemon, but both of them knew what exactly was happening, and cried out:

"Veemon Transdigivolve to... Paildramon!!"

Within seconds, both ExVeemon and Davis were gone and replaced by a towering dragon warrior digimon in green armor. Standing at the same heights as Chaosdramon, Paildramon took out both of his machineguns to begin attacking. However Davis, now as Paildramon with Veemon inside of him, decided to call upon the analyzer first to assess his chances of fighting Chaosdramon.

----------------- DIGIMON ANALYZER ------------------
Name : Paildramon
Attribute : Vaccine
Level : Ultimate
Type : Dragon Warrior
Specialty : Lightning, Fighting

Attacks : Desperado Blaster, Cable Catcher, Sting Strike, Esgrima, Elemental Bolt, (Vee Laser, Critical Crunch, Spiking Strike, Moon Shooter, Insect Antenna)
Power Level : 80

Originally a DNA-Digivolved digimon, Paildramon is now confirmed as ExVeemon's Ultimate form. Having a versatile forms of attacks from both ExVeemon and Stingmon and its very own array of unique attacks, Paildramon is a force to be reckoned with.
------------------------------------------------------------

"We may not be as strong as him Davis, but we sure pack quite a punch, right?" Veemon's voice suddenly quipped from the back of Paildramon's head. At first Paildramon was startled, but then he remembered about Kari and T.K.'s experiences while they were Angewomon and MagnaAngemon, and grinned.

"Sure we do, and we'll give him all we have!" Paildramon said.

"You may want to say it with your mind Davis, I'm the only one that can hear you."

"Oh." 'I mean, oh'.

Paildramon jumped in mid-air and activated his guns. "Desperado Blaster!!" Both guns then shot out explosive fire bursts of energy towards Chaosdramon. The attacks exploded upon contact with Chaosdramon, but the Mega's armor protected him from harm. However before he could regain his stance Paildramon launched another rays of Desperado Blaster to him, this time aiming for his un-armored body parts.

"Now to try out another attack! Cable Catcher!!" Paildramon cried, and his claws shot out revealing cables attached to them. He flew around Chaosdramon and managed to tie the Mega's legs with his cables. However by doing so he didn't count on himself for being more vulnerable, and found himself being caught by Chaosdramon's claws. Paildramon tried to pull his cables and make Chaosdramon fall, but the Mega digimon was a lot stronger and Paildramon only managed to retract his cables back.

"Hah, I got you now!" Chaosdramon roared. "Chaos Cruncher!" He began to squeeze Paildramon the same way he did to Stingmon earlier.

"We're not done yet, Davis! Try the Elemental Bolt!"

"You got it!"

Paildramon's body began to crackle with elecricity all over. Four energy balls materialized from his body, and hovered around him. They were each colored red, white, yellow and green. Paildramon began to wonder himself how did the Elemental Bolt attack really work as he (Davis) had never seen the attack before. The red energy ball landed on Chaosdramon's claws and instantly the Mega screamed as it burnt his claws with sudden and intense heat, thus releasing Paildramon from his grip.

"Watch and be amazed, Davis!"

The white energy ball then landed on Chaosdramon's other hand and instead of burning it, the hand was suddenly covered with ice! The yellow and green energy balls then hurled themselves to Chaosdramon's abdominal region and entered his body. Chaosdramon was suddenly jolted with electrical bolts, and was crying in pain.

"Elemental Bolt consists of Fire, Ice, Electric and Poison attacks."

"How do you know all these?"

"Huh? I just know it. Now attack him with Esgrima!"

"I have a feeling like you're directing me in doing all the attacks, but oh well. Esgrima!!"

A glowing purple energy blade shot out from Paildramon's right wrist armor, looking like a cross between Stingmon's blade and MagnaAngemon's Excalibur. However the blade elongated and was shaped like a thin sword, similar to a fencing sword.

"Woah, a fencing sword!" Paildramon said in awe. "I've always wanted to play this sport."

"Well here's your chance."

Paildramon lunged towards Chaosdramon and thrusted his glowing energy sword into the unaware Mega's stomach. Chaosdramon yelled in intense pain and kicked Paildramon away angrily.

"Hyper Mugen Cannon!!" he shouted, and blasted both cannons on his back towards Paildramon. Paildramon tried to evade but as he was falling he had a hard time trying to regain composure, and was blasted with both cannons. He was sprawled on the grounds, but luckily he wasn't hurt much. His body armor protected him from the major effects of the cannons, but Paildramon still had a few smaller injuries on his legs and even his armor had a little crack on the mid chest region where the cannons hit.

Chaosdramon tried to attack again, but suddenly he felt weaker all over and to his horror, he de-digivolved back to MetalTyrannomon.

"What's going on?" Paildramon wondered.

"This is our chance, Davis! Desperado-Blaster him!"

Paildramon quickly took out his machineguns again and fired towards MetalTyrannomon without stopping. MetalTyrannomon could not even shield himself from the attacks and sensed that he was going to be defeated soon if he didn't act fast.

"Giga Destroyer II!!" he yelled and quickly fired the cannons towards Paildramon. Paildramon was distracted while trying to evade, and MetalTyrannomon took the chance to run away as quickly as he could. To make sure Paildramon wasn't following him, he turned back and aimed his signature attack to a nearby building which was a digimon nursery.

"One day Paildramon!! I'll have another fight with you! One day!!" he cried and disappeared in the midst of the night.

"Drats! He got away," Paildramon muttered, trying to get up to follow MetalTyrannomon before his attention was attracted by cries of digimon.

"Paildramon, the nursery! There are baby digimons inside there!!" WaruMonzaemon cried out desperately.

Paildramon quickly rushed to stop the nursery building from tumbling down. The cannons from MetalTyrannomon had blasted away the roof and destroyed two of the pillars that were supporting the building. As the building began to collapse, the other remaining pillars started to crack. Paildramon held with both hands at the places where he destroyed pillars used to be. His phenomenal strength successfully held the nursery in place while several airborne digimons such as Unimon, Seadramon, Airdramon and Birdramon rushed over to evacuate the baby digimons. Ground-based digimons such as Guardromon, Starmon, Deputymon and Fugamon quickly re-enacted some of the destroyed pillars back in place to prevent the nursery from collapsing.

"I'm letting go now," Paildramon said and carefully removed one of his hand to make sure whether the pillars were able to support the building. The nursery remained unmoved, and he gently released his another hand after making sure that all the digimons had cleared out the surrounding. For a while, the nursery remained unmoved but when Paildramon turned around, suddenly the pillars shook violently and the whole building collapsed! Paildramon then realized his folly; his wings had accidentally knocked down the unstable pillars while he was turning around.

WaruMonzaemon and Pandamon, with an unconscious Monzaemon being supported in the middle, walked over to Paildramon.

"I'm... sorry," Paildramon began to say but both elders raised one of their paws to stop him.

"At least all of the baby digimons managed to be evacuated," Pandamon said kindly.

"We can always build another nursery," WaruMonzaemon said. "We really appreciate what you've done for us. No words can be said to express our deepest gratitudes for you being here, Paildramon."

"But... the nursery..."

"We have that wretched MetalTyrannomon to blame for," WaruMonzaemon said patiently. "You've saved us, again, Paildramon."

"Yeah!" ToyAgumon called out, and the three Minomons bounced happily behind the toy digimon.

"Well, I couldn't do it without those three Minomons," Paildramon said, and de-digivolved back to Davis and Veemon.

"We're glad that you've digivolved again!" Minomon I cried out.

"But doesn't that mean you three have lost the ability to become Stingmon?" Davis asked.

The three Minomons looked at each other for a while, before each of their faces broke into a wide grin.

"Nah, we've matured too fast. Stingmon may be great and all, but for the time being we rather remain as kids and progress naturally," Minomon II answered happily.

"Yeah, then all three of us will become three Stingmons!" Minomon III chirped exuberantly.

Looking at the destroyed nursery, Davis suddenly had an idea.

"Tell you what, why don't Veemon and I helped you guys out to build another nursery," he offered.

"Oh no, we couldn't bother you two any more than we have," Pandamon said quickly.

"No it won't. Actually, it gives us a chance to spend more time here. The air here is cool and refreshing, whoever wants to go back to the simmering hot Earth?" Davis said with a grin.

"Well... if that so, then by all means, do stay," WaruMonzaemon said finally. "We could use all the help we can get. Besides, you DID.. well, hmm... contribute to the cause the nursery to end up like this."

Davis and Veemon both face-faulted but realized that WaruMonzaemon meant it in as a joke, as the two elders were laughing heartily, followed by the other occupants of Harmona.

"Then it settled! So when can we...."

RRRRRRRRR!!! Suddenly they were interrupted by strange rumbling sounds which strangely came from Davis and Veemon. Both Digidestined and digimon grinned sheepishly and put their hands on their stomachs.

"Let's have a feast first then! You two sure looks like you could've use some," Pandamon suggested.

As dawn came to the East Sector of the Digital World, the occupants of Harmona were busy feasting over the victory of chasing out MetalTyrannomon again. But at the same time in Asuka City, the three angel disciples of HolyAngemon had returned from the north quadrant. A few days earlier they were sent by Gennai and HolyAngemon to look over the matters happening at the villages there Chapter 14 : Revelations to inspect the problems pretaining to the communications between Asuka and the town and villages there. However they came across a startling discovery while at Marina Bay Village, and quickly returned to Asuka. What is their discovery? Find out next, in the next chapter of Digimon : Vengeance.


Author's Notes:

Glad this chapter is finally written, because I can get two of the major plots cleared and introduce the third Transdigivolution pair.

HolyAngemon / MagnaAngemon PM
The original Japanese name will be used for the priest version of himself, instead of making it a hassle of naming him MagnaAngemon Priest Mode. In the V-Tamers manga he is Lord HolyAngemon, so I figured that it suits him perfectly. I'll make changes to past chapters but it'll take a while as future chapters are on the way.

Paildramon's attacks
Why does Paildramon have so many attacks? I've checked for Paildramon's dubbed names of the attacks, and looked over Megchan's and noticed that they are not the same at all. Well I may be wrong, but having many attacks will make the Transdigivolved digimon more unique. I'll update Angewomon's Digimon Analyzer entry in future chapter.

Review comments:

Psychorabbit : Thanks for the review and for telling the real spelling of ZeedMilleniummon. I'm rather confused as many fics I've read and sites I've visited opted for the Xeed spelling. Thanks for the idea of how to present the subplots, I'll keep it in mind while writing future chapters. Chaos Wargreymon is a key character in this fic according to the original plan for this story. And finally, I'm really happy that you like Kuzuhamon. She'll be around as a supporting character.

Gerjo : Hi! You're back. Sorry to hear about your computer. Catrina will be an integral character in future, and I'm glad you like her. I adore her a lot myself. For now she'll be appearing only from time to time. Thanks for reviewing.
