59. Chapter 59

With the battle between the Metal Tribe and the Dark Tribe invaders raging throughout the area, the heroes and heroines kept their focus on MetalLichmon, who grinned wickedly as he swung his blade around, the wicked Digimon showing he was ready for battle.

Meanwhile, the Dark General's mechanical monstrosity, the Ravager, gave a mechanical shriek as dark energy gathered within its cannon and turned its sight towards the heroes and heroines.

"Magna Shield!"

"Dynas Protection!"

"Spirit Ring!"

"Firewall!"

"Courage Spirit!"

Moving quickly, MagnaVeedramon, MedievalGallantmon, MysticSakuyamon and Marcus used their defensive abilities, creating a powerful wall of energy and flames before the Ravager, while LordShoutmon created his aura construct, wrapping its arms around the rest of his friends as the dark machine opened fire, the powerful blast colliding with the barrier, which left the three heroic Digimon and Marcus groaning against the strain of the great force.

"Heaven's Light!"

"Hyped Spirit!"

Working to help their friends, Lightbearer Ophanimon unleashed her healing aura to help her friends from being damaged, while BardMusimon helped to increase their power, allowing them to hold out better from the large machine's attack.

"Nature's Wrath!" Yoshi then announced as she brought her arms up, causing thousands of large vines to erupt from the ground beneath the Ravager, which wrapped around the dark machine and left the Ravager thrashing against the restraints, much to the heroes and heroines' relief.

"Dark Razor!" A familiar voice then bellowed, the outburst leaving MagnaVeedramon with just enough time to use his blades and to block MetalLichmon's weapon, which slammed into him.

The dark blade covered in dark purple electricity clashed with MagnaVeedramon's weapon, sending the pair flying a few feet away from the group from the sheer power, where MagnaVeedramon pushed the Dark General back, both skidding across the ground, before returning to a fighting pose.

"I don't know about the rest of your friends, but you in particular have pissed off the Dark Lady, and she'll be quite happy once I take you down." MetalLichmon commented, making certain to not reveal to the holy knight Digimon that part of his being was an individual the Dark Lady has desired to claim since the heroes and heroines arrived in Witchelny.

"You can try, metalhead, but we've taken down every Dark General that's come for us, and we'll take you down as well!" MagnaVeedramon spat back with his own determination, believing from MetalLichmon's words that his actions against the Dark Lady have caused some annoyance to the leader of the Dark Tribe, and possibly is keeping her from grabbing whoever amongst their group is her 'chosen'.

"We'll see." The mechanical Dark General replied with a dark glee, before rushing at MagnaVeedramon as his free hand was covered in dark purple electricity.

"Wicked Surge!"

"Magna Sabers!"

Clashing his blades against MetalLichmon's arm, MagnaVeedramon pushed the Dark General's attack back, before dodging as the wicked Digimon swung his blade at him, thus leaving the holy knight Digimon to dodge and parry MetalLichmon's assault.

Desperate to help their leader, the remaining heroes and heroines turned to not only see sound of the Dark Metal Digimon rushing at them, but to see the Ravager move more as, much to the group's shock, dozens of metallic tentacles emerged from all over the machine's form, creating buzz saws that cut through the vines and allowed the dark construct movement.

"We need to take these guys and that monstrosity down!" MedievalGallantmon remarked as he looked at the Ravager and the Dark Digimon.

"You guys hold them off." Samudramon remarked with some command in his tone as he and Lightbearer Ophanimon looked to see MagnaVeedramon fighting off MetalLichmon.

"We'll help MagnaVeedramon." The Digimon of Courage then said.

Nodding in response, the remaining heroes and heroines watched as the two heroic Digimon rushed to aid their leader, before refocusing on the Ravager, which let out another shirek as the tentacles then lashed out at the group, who moved and dodged the strikes, using their weapons to cut through as many as they could in the process.

"Dark Razor!"

"Magna Saber!"

Clashing their blades against one another, MagnaVeedramon and MetalLichmon continued to try and overpower the other with their great strength and might, the leader of the heroes and heroines doing all he could to end this battle and help his friends against the Ravager.

"Cross Slicer!"

"Striking Light!"

Hearing the battle cries, MagnaVeedramon and the Dark General pushed one another back just before MetalLichmon missed swept past the attacks from Samudramon and Lightbearer Ophanimon's blades, the Digimon of Courage and of Light moving as one in order to aid and protect the holy knight Digimon from their foe.

"Samudramon, Lightbearer Ophanimon, you guys need to help the others!" MagnaVeedramon remarked with concern, the Digimon of Miracles wishing the pair not to concern themselves with his endeavor and to aid in fighting off the Ravager.

"They can handle themselves for now." Samudramon told MagnaVeedramon, the Digimon of Courage looking towards MetalLichmon and telling his friend. "Right now, we need to take this guy down, then we can take out that monstrosity."

"Good luck with that!" MetalLichmon cut in arrogantly as another surge of dark purple electricity ran through his being, before bellowing. "Dark Thunder!"

At that moment, the dark purple electricity shot into the air and rained down upon the trio, who dodged the attack as best they could.

Sweeping around the thunderous blasts and closing in on MetalLichmon, the trio sought to take the metallic Dark General down quickly.

"Magna Sabers!"

"Cross Slicer!"

"Striking Light!"

"Dark Razor! Wicked Surge!"

Moving faster than most could see, MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and Lightbearer Ophanimon tried to strike at the Dark General, blocking, dodging and parrying his blade and his electrified hand, the united heroic Digimon trying with all their might to land a clean hit on their foe, but found themselves growling in frustration to find MetalLichmon to be much stronger than they anticipated.

"Rage of Wyvern!"

"Sacred Flame!"

"Full Spirit Wave!"

"Arcane Inferno!"

"Arcane Twister!"

"Flaming Destruction!"

"Violet Blast!"

"Omni Force!"

"Thunder Force!"

"Passion Shot!"

"Gaia Link!"

"Golden Arrow!"

"Rhythmic Stream!"

Unleashing their own attacks with assistance from Jeri and Novicmon, the remaining heroes and heroines confronting the Ravager were doing all they could to put an end to the mechanical monstrosity's threat once and for all, but try as they might, as their attacks seemed to damage the dark machine, the damage seemed to quickly repair itself, even the metal tentacles were able repair themselves.

As the Ravager lashed back at the heroes and heroines, the group continued to dodge and avoid their demise, all the while trying to find some way to take the giant machine down once and for all.

During the continued conflict, both sides furthering in their fight, the Dark Lady had finally entered the throne room of the Metal Tribe's palace.

Smirking wickedly behind her mask as she looked to see there were no guards of any kind to block her way, the Dark Lady saw the only defense around her desired target was a mere energy field which circled around the Spark of Creation.

"For too long, I have been denied what is rightfully mine." The leader of the Dark Tribe said to herself as she approached the barrier, tracing her fingers along the energy field as she continued in her train of thought. "Too long I have been forced to wait for what I have worked so hard for. But no longer. No longer will I be denied, no longer will I have to wait. Nothing will stop this."

That said, the Dark Lady placed her hand on the energy field, before her energy coursed through it, causing the barrier to short out and dissipate, leaving nothing between the leader of the Dark Tribe and the Spark of Creation.

However, it was at that moment that the primordial fragment began to glow even brighter, the sudden change in power causing the Dark Lady to shield her eyes for a moment, growling as she felt a fraction of the energy leave the Spark of Creation and knew exactly where it was going.

Back on the battlefield, and at that moment, the heroes and heroines all felt a familiar sensation overwhelm them, their beings consumed in pillars of golden lights, which left the Dark Tribe Digimon to back up, the Ravager to shriek in rage and for MetalLichmon to growl in anger.

Within their minds' eyes, the humans, Digimon and Appmon saw a massive mechanical Digimon being covered in golden light, each sensing that this was the Primordial of Metal, Titaniummon, now presenting himself to them.

"Heroes… take my power and protect my children…" The massive Primordial Digimon said, before his tone filled with concern as he then informed the heroes and heroines. "But be warned… the Shadow is here…"

When the light faded from out the battlefield, the Dark Tribe Digimon were enraged, while Aurummon, Novicmon and the Metal Tribe forces were in awe to see the heroes and heroines infused with the sacred power of the Spark of Creation, with each member's armour now gold in colour, while their weapons had the same cog designs as the Metal Tribe Digimon's own gear.

Jeri meanwhile, found herself clad in golden knight's armour, which covered her being from head to toe, but retained her more feminine form.

Within her grasp was her sword, now made of gold with cog designs on the hilt, which the brunette wielded with pride and might.

Feeling the Metal Digi-magic running through them, the heroes and heroines prepared to continue their battle to defeat MetalLichmon and his mechanical horrors once and for all.

Back within the palace, the Dark Lady growled lightly, before raising her hand as the containment device appeared within her grasp, activating as it began to drain the energy from the primordial fragment.

Sensing the change in energies, the heroes and heroines turned toward the Metal Tribe's capital as realization hit them, this causing MagnaVeedramon to say with shock and dread. "She's here! The Dark Lady is in the palace!"

Shocked at MagnaVeedramon's words, unable to comprehend how they could have missed their greatest foe during this battle and having to ask, ShaolinArresterdramon questioned. "How did she get past us?!"

"The SkullWarGreymon!" A voice from above informed, this causing the heroes and heroines to look and see Aurummon flying by as a trio of RustDracomon chased after him.

"Their energy was strange, I tried to warn you but got distracted." The Leader of the Metal Tribe then stated as he swung his staff, striking the head of one of the dark metal draconic Digimon and sending it crashing to the ground.

"I think she hid herself in each of them, and once defeated, her energy reformed and allowed her into the city while we've been busy!" Aurummon went on to say, his tone growing in concern.

"We need to stop her!" GaleSilphymon declared as she prepared to move, but found she was forced to dodge another of the Ravager's tentacles, the mechanical nightmare doing all it could to keep the heroes and heroines at bay.

"Oh no you don't, no one is getting in the Dark Lady's way!" MetalLichmon declared as his forces intensified their assault, knowing that their leader was with them, and forcing SteelCrusadermon, IronTactimon, ArchAlchemymon and their warriors to focus on the invaders instead of rushing back to save their primordial fragment.

"Then we'll have to take you down first!" Samudramon spat back as he swung his blades out, which made mechanical sounds from the gears charging and linking, the Digimon of Courage then announcing with might. "Cross Slicer!"

"Magna Saber!"

"Striking Light!"

Moving as one, MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and Lightbearer Ophanimon disappeared in a blur, much to MetalLichmon's surprise, before appearing right before him, their weapons drawn and forcing the Dark General to retaliate.

"Dark Razor!" MetalLichmon retaliated as he swung his blade in defense, blocking the strike from the three heroes as a shockwave of wind shot outwards.

But to the Dark General's sudden shock and dread, MetalLichmon looked to see his blade begin to crack, where MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and Lightbearer Ophanimon jumped back, before rushing once again at the Dark General.

"Dark Thunder!" MetalLichmon bellowed as dark lightning surged down from the skies, where MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and Lightbearer Ophanimon continued to disappear and reappear in blurs between the lightning strikes, drawing closer and closer towards the Dark General.

"Dark Razor! Wicked Surge!" The Dark General announced with a further fury as his blade and claws were covered in dark purple electricity, the Dark Mechanical Digimon hoping to strike the trio down as quickly as possible.

"Magna Saber!"

"Cross Slicer!"

"Striking Light!"

Faster than his eyes could see, and much to his own horror and despair, MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and Lightbearer Ophanimon struck first, cutting off both MetalLichmon's arms and severing his upper body from his legs, which dissolved into Data particles, before the Metal-infused celestial Digimon swung around and delivered an upper kick to the Dark General's chest, the attack sending him flying upwards, where she and her teammates moved to finish him off once and for all.

"Holy Strike!"

"Rinkageki!"

"Holy Judgement!"

Combining their attacks, MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and Lightbearer Ophanimon unleashed their energy upon the remains of MetalLichmon who let out a pained cry as his body completely dissolved into Data particles, leaving a smile on the trio of heroes' faces, believing their battle against MetalLichmon was over.

However, much to their horror, MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and Lightbearer Ophanimon watched as the Data particles of the Dark General then shot towards the Ravager, a sight the other heroes and heroines took notice of as the Data particles entered the dark machine, which suddenly gave a pained shriek as the dark purple energy running through it intensified.

A moment later, when MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and Lightbearer Ophanimon rejoined their friends, did the group's eyes widened as they heard that shriek turn into a familiar laugh, the laugh of MetalLichmon.

"Did you really think I'd go down so easily? Now I am one with my creation, and I will tear you and this city to pieces!" MetalLichmon bellowed through the Ravager, whose tentacles then turned into energy cannons and released a barrage of dark energy beams down upon the heroes and heroines, who dodged and moved away from the devastating energy strikes.

"Not if we can help it!" MagnaVeedramon snapped back, his words and determination agreed upon by the rest of the team as they took off, rushing and flying towards the mechanical nightmare, ready to take it down as it continued to strike with its tentacles.

Disappearing and reappearing all along the Ravager, the heroes and heroines cut and slashed at the tentacles, destroying them and causing the dark machine to shriek in rage, feeling their weapons breaking into its armoured hull, seemingly preventing its natural repair ability from kicking in.

"You can't beat me… You can't!" MetalLichmon said in disbelief.

Turning the Ravager's head toward the heroes and heroines and gathering dark energy within the cannon as the Dark General prepared to fire a blast that would destroy everything before it, responding to the attack, the team got together, uniting and unleashing their Metal-infused attacks as one.

"Holy Strike!"

"Rinkageki!"

"Holy Judgement!"

"Sacred Flame!"

"Rage of the Wyvern!"

"Full Spirit Wave!"

"Arcane Inferno!"

"Arcane Twister!"

"Flaming Destruction!"

"Violet Blast!"

"Omni Force!"

"Thunder Force!"

"Passion Shot!"

"Gaia Link!"

"Golden Arrow!"

"Rhythmic Stream!"

Combining their energies with attacks from Jeri and Novicmon, the heroes and heroines' abilities collided with the energy blast of the Ravager, the two conflicting energies struggling against one another for supremacy.

Putting their might into their attacks, however, the heroes and heroines punched through the Ravager's beam, causing their attack to strike at the cannon mouth of the machine, which exploded, leaving the dark monstrosity shrieking in pain as its body began to fall apart.

"Full Force Strike!"

"Inferno Strike!"

"Corona Dash!"

"Star Shine Dive!"

Their bodies covered in Metal-infused energy, MagnaVeedramon, CrimsonAldamon, Marcus and ShaolinArresterdramon then shot through the Ravager's main body, exploding through to the other side as MetalLichmon's screams of rage and disbelief as the Ravager dissolved into Data particles, their great force not only ending the dark machine, but the Dark General once and for all.

Seeing the Ravager and the Dark General defeated, the Dark Tribe forces quickly turned and ran, the Dark Arks turning and moving away from the capital as the Dark Digimon retreated back towards their lands, the sight causing the Metal Tribe warriors to cheer and to celebrate, seeing their enemies on the run.

However, for the heroes, heroines and the Metal Tribe's leaders, there was no time to rest as the team turned and rushed towards the palace, Aurummon, SteelCrusadermon, IronTactimon and ArchAlchemymon rushing after the heroes and heroines as they attempted to stop the Dark Lady before it was too late.

.

.

.

Rushing ahead of their friends and allies, MagnaVeedramon and Lightbearer Ophanimon raced through the hallways of the palace and headed towards the throne room, the Digimon of Miracles and of Light hoping to reach the Dark Lady before it was too late.

However, once they entered the throne room, the two light Digimon, followed by their team and the leaders of the Metal Tribe, found a literal wall of dark energy before them, where they were shocked to see the six SkullWarGreymon once again, made completely out of shadows, with their shields drawn before them, empowering the dark barrier.

Behind the line of SkullWarGreymon, the group saw the Dark Lady as the containment device finished extracting the required energy from the Spark of Creation, closing shut as the primordial fragment's light was dimmer.

Outside, the skies turned a dark red as volatile energies began coursing through the air, showing the increased instability of Digi-magic in Witchelny.

"Only one more to go." The Dark Lady then remarked as she turned and looked toward the heroes and their allies, her eyes locked upon MagnaVeedramon briefly, before the leader of the Dark Tribe and her shadowy servants disappeared in wisps of darkness, allowing the barrier to drop and leaving the heroes and heroines clenching their fists in rage.

The Dark Lady had taken what she came for, which left only one more primordial fragment left.

.

.

.

Several hours later, as the non-combative Metal Tribe Digimon continued their repairs of the city and their warriors, the heroes and heroines stood before the city's gates with Aurummon and his council, ready to head out and race to their next destination.

Within his hands, Novicmon held another container, one holding the energies of the Spark of Creation for the heroes and heroines to use, a device shaped like a series of cog gears around a golden light, which he then slipped into his hat, storing it with the rest as the group said their goodbyes.

"I really wish we could stay and see more of your city." Davis confessed, seeing the same desire in the others' eyes, before adding with a serious tone. "But we need to get to the Thunder Tribe as quickly as possible, before she can strike at them."

"We do understand." Aurummon said in reply with a respectful bow, one shared by his council, before the Leader of the Metal Tribe then said with a serious tone. "Once our warriors are ready, and our Metal Arks prepared, we shall march out and join the allied forces. We look forward to seeing you and the Thunder Tribe's forces at the gates to the Dark Tribe's lands."

"And once you are there, you will see the true might of our ingenuity!" Aurummon then added with an insane laugh as he pointed his staff to the air, feeling his pride in his tribe's creations overtaking him, an action that caused not only the heroes and heroines to sweatdrop, but also SteelCrusadermon, IronTactimon and ArchAlchemymon.

"We wish you luck, brave heroes." SteelCrusadermon than said, bowing alongside her comrades, the actions copied by the heroes and heroines, before turning and heading towards the Borderlands, each determined to reach the Thunder Tribe and gain their allegiance to the alliance, so that they could finally bring the fight to the Dark Lady's doorsteps.

United, the humans, Digimon and Appmon were each determined to end this madness once and for all.

.

.

.

"Is everything prepared?" Charonmon questioned as he looked toward the Dark Mirror, and the reflection of the last Dark General within.

"Yesss, Charonmon, everything will go asss planned." The feminine figure remarked with a serpentine hiss and a further wickedness in her tone, the reply leaving the Dark Lady's advisor to smile, for soon, everything would be in place, and the Dark Lady's ambition would be achieved.
