A/N: So…. It's been a while since the last update, hasn't it? Well, I blame DM and lack of internet access. Anywhos, Tokyo is attacked, as promised. And I think all my characters in the real world except for Shelby go to Tokyo.
Disclaimer: Ikaru sighed as he put down the large sword he'd been swinging as the last of the uber ninja fire clones disappeared. "OK, I'm regretting ever creating this place." He said before heading towards the hallway door. He noted a nod of agreement from Disclaimermon and opened the hallway door only to dive out of the way as yet another bat trap was released. "I swear, whoever organized all of this is in soooooooo much trouble…." He glanced into the hallway beyond and saw a horde of Doommon.
"Disclaim: Ikaru Kakou does not own Digimon." Disclaimermon said, walking into the hallway and watching as Doommon exploded all around him and the scene faded into black before the next chapter of Digital Demons again….
Chapter Four: IT'S GODZILLA!
6:13AM/USA/Virginia/Langley/CIA Headquarters/Department of Digital Incidents/Office of Lynn Smith
Lynn had been expecting something special from this person who knew so much, not just about the digital world, but also about the Digidestined. She was not expecting he would bring news that a major world city would likely be under attack soon and that he would be demanding she give him some people to go assist with the situation. "Hold on a second, here. Tokyo will be under attack by whom?"
"The Demon Lords. Six of them at least, possibly all seven or eight of them. And they'll have an army of Doommon with them." The man replied, sounding rather frustrated.
"Let me ask again, why should I believe you?" Lynn asked.
"If you must know…." The man backed up from Lynn's desk and began shining. "Brian form-shift to: Fightermon." Instead of the man that had just been there, there was now what was obviously a champion level digimon with a roughly human appearance aside from his excessive size and the bits of armor on his shoulders, forehead, shins, and hands. The digimon was shirtless, and wore blue shorts that appeared to have once been pants before being ripped off just below the knee. Lynn couldn't help but stare at the digimon now towering over her.
"How the hell…?" She muttered as she started searching frantically through the tri-mind for information on the digimon, or even how a human could suddenly turn entirely into a digimon that, while obviously powerful, was also obviously not a mega. She found none.
"It's not in your little tri-mind, Felicia doesn't know I exist."
"Right…. Well, the Digidestined are in Tokyo, as I've said, can't they handle it themselves?"
"No. Not with all of the Demon Lords so close and an army of Doommon there. Not with a crowded city here in the real world being the battlefield. Not when it's distinctly possible they could be attacked by one of their own."
"How does it being the real world have anything to do with it?"
"It's easier to go all out in the digital world because you don't die when you die. You just get deleted and you come back after a while. In the real world, there are no second chances. Death
in the real world is actual death, no matter who or what you are." Fightermon was pacing restlessly in the small office now. "So are you going to get some people and come with me to Tokyo, or not?"
"I guess. I'll call everyone in immediately. Any idea how we're going to get there in time?"
"Let me know when Felicia notices all hell breaking loose. A short trip into the digital world and we can be there in less than half a real world minute." Fightermon said, pulling a D-Phone seemingly out of nowhere.
"Right…" Lynn said, picking up the phone and bringing up the phone numbers of her elite squad on her computer. No one would show up until seven at least usually, but now she should have everyone there before 6:40.
12:03PM/Japan/Tokyo/Streets
Felicia was on the look out for multiple things at once. She had come to the public meeting in the middle of the busiest street in the city with her camera and her press pass. It gave her an excuse to get closer to the stage, which was of course really just an excuse to get closer to Dan. It also meant that she'd be able to get Edward out of the way if one of the Demon Lords attacked, an event she was sure would happen any minute now. The others were strategically positioned throughout the crowd, prepared to go straight to Burst Mode and try to save as many lives as possible. She spent a few minutes pushing through the crowd, and then she saw Dan. She glanced at her watch, and then glanced back at him. His eyes were glazed over, a tell-tale sign that he was using Soul Absorption. It was 12:09 precisely when she and Dan simultaneously leapt at the stage, each one pushing a world leader out of the way as they heard a shout of "EVIL INFERNO!"
"Shit." She heard Dan mutter just a few feet away before flames slammed into the ground between them. "He's dead." Was the addition moments later when the flames died down. She looked over at Dan long enough to see the Twilight Assassin putting on a good show of the Emperor having had a heart attack. And then the Doommon started popping up from every visible shadow and a ship came flying out of Tokyo Bay towards a nearby building. Specifically, the building that housed the office of Nakamura Hiroshi.
"I get the feeling you didn't tell me something." Edward muttered as he stood up again and glanced around at the utter chaos and people screaming as they ran for the lives.
"We didn't know the Demon Lords were here until this morning. Didn't get a chance to tell you. Now take your guards and run for your life." Felicia began glowing even as she spoke this. "De-digifuse! Warp Burst Biovolve!"
Just as Felicia said 'De-digifuse', Labramon appeared and shouted "Warp Burst Digivolve!" In seconds two Anubismon Burst Modes were attacking Doommon left and right. Edward nodded and ran off with his guards, stopping only to pick up Felicia's camera. Why did he pick it up? No one knows.
12:10PM/Japan/Tokyo/Computer Store
The small computer store was suddenly looking very crowded. With Lynn and her elite squad of 25 men and women alone it was a stretch, but Fightermon had digivolved in the digital world to Berserkermon. The difference: Berserkermon was even taller than Fightermon, twenty times as muscular, and he carried a giant axe. Let's just say the front window of the shop didn't last very
long and there were shortly Doommon halves being flung left and right as Berserkermon tore through them with his axe. Following Berserkermon out the window were Lynn and her squad. The moved quickly and made their way through the chaos, using their specially designed guns to blast Doommon into oblivion. Their number one priority: find King Edward. It wasn't long before they caught sight of the king running through the city with his royal guard, chased by a horde of Doommon and what appeared to be a woman with a purple cape that concealed her right arm.
And just then two people in armor that shined with moonlight holding swords that shined with even more moonlight jumped amidst the Doommon and shot beams of moonlight at Lilithmon while shouting "Olympic Moonbeam!" Apparently Aki and Dianamon Burst Mode were going to take care of the female Demon Lord.
"Come with us!" Lynn shouted to the king, who was now filming everything with Felicia's camera. The order went unquestioned and the group went onward through the battle towards what they hoped would be a functional safe house: Matsubara Manor.
11:23PM/USA/New York/New York City/WWBC News Studio/Studio 4 (Earth News Nightly)
Shelby Turner was visibly distracted tonight. She hadn't left the studio or gotten out of her make-up or anything since the show finished airing at 7:30. When her cell phone rang (she'd at least gotten it from her purse and turned it on), she instantly picked it up and was visibly relieved to hear the king of England's voice on the other end. "You're all right then?" She asked.
"Of course. Felicia got me out of the way of Demon's blast and Lynn got me over to Matsubara Manor. I took her camera." The last part seemed to imply something beyond the literal.
"You have it sending live feeds to us, don't you?" Shelby asked.
"Of course I do."
"Stay safe. I'll call you soon, just gonna see if the producers wanna have some breaking news."
"Naturally. On a side note, Doommon aren't too pretty, especially when their body halves are flying around behind while an axe-wielding digimon slaughters them."
Shelby laughed, more of a release of nervous tension than because anything was funny. A quick dash to the producers' office, a short search through the current live feeds that weren't being broadcast, and they had video of the king of England leaning against a wall while men were firing guns in the background and dying Doommon were flying everywhere. "We up for some breaking news?"
12:30PM/Japan/Tokyo/Streets
Dan stood in the middle of the chaos completely unharmed. Despite the enormous amount of Doommon crowding the streets slaughtering civilians all around him, there was a ten foot radius around him that no Doommon willingly crossed, and any Doommon that did cross it crossed back out of it as soon as possible.
Of course, he wasn't noticing anything around him. After de-digifusing once the chaos really broke out, he hadn't moved. Neither had Arkadimon, of course, but that was more out of loyalty than the reason Dan stood still. Because Dan was paralyzed with what appeared to be fear, and
darkness was seeping out of his every orifice. Every time he blinked, he was overcome memories. Memories that mad him angry.
He blinked again and there was a flash of him bowing before Hadesdramon. Again, and he was being pummeled to death by metals balls from a Wisemon's Seven Balls of Lust attack. Again, and Hadesdramon was cackling at his failure to reach burst mode. 'But you got payback for that, didn't you?' said a voice in his head. And he had. He'd pushed aside his anger then, and managed to utilize humility and reach burst mode just before being deleted by Hadesdramon. Even at burst mode, all six of the others and their digimon had failed to last even a minute against Hadesdramon. He blinked again and a particularly clear memory of him telling the others that he had beaten Hadesdramon. This memory felt good. Really good. 'The others are here. Surely you sense it. Perhaps if you could stop the demon lords, you could feel that way again.' The voice had a point. He opened his mind, searching for the humility so he could reach burst mode. And then something else overtook him. Dan blacked out then, but his eyes flew wide open. "DARK WARP BURST BIOVOLVE!"
12:33PM/Japan/Tokyo/Streets
Aki was staring across the street over the dissolving bodies of dying Doommon, glaring at Lilithmon, when it happened. The voice echoed through the entire city. A voice that sounded like a mutilated version of Dan's. "What is that?" She demanded of Lilithmon.
"That? Oh, that's just the demon lord of pride coming into his power." Lilithmon replied confidently. And then the wave of darkness stormed through the city as two large digimon seemingly composed of tentacles rose above the entire city. Lilithmon gasped, as though overwhelmed by immense power, and the dying Doommon were suddenly very alive and well. Well enough to be giving off the darkness that signaled their digivolution.
Aki gasped and glanced over to Dianamon's Burst Mode. Her partner was just standing there, mouthing the words "Oh shit." It wasn't long before the Doommon throughout the city let loose a unanimous cry:
"DOOMMON ULTIMA DIGIVOLVE TO: HELLMON!"
12:34PM/Japan/Tokyo/Streets
Blake froze in fear when he heard that. He'd heard it once before. He had still been a Wisemon then, but those memories were back in full force by now. As soon as he saw the mega level black paladin digimon forming before him, he shouted at the top of his voice "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
11:34PM/USA/New York/New York City/WWBC News Studio/Studio 4 (Earth News Nightly)
And it was at that moment that Shelby had said the cue line, on air from the breaking news report, to cut to the live footage of what was happening in Tokyo. There was a moment of further chaotic noise over the feed before the video went black and the union of hundreds of sinister voices asked "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"
End A/N: Not as action packed as I would've liked, but it mostly just flowed out of me in two sessions of less than an hour (which is an exhilarating feeling, by the way). ALSO: TIME ZONES ARE A BITCH. Review please, thanks!
