Chapter Seventeen
Turning the Tide
They all arrived at Freezeland, and Leomon greeted them jovially.
"Come in, come in, our little heroes. Half the Covenant down at last. And what's more, others have heard of the defeat of our enemies, and many have come and joined us. What's more, the forces you had have all arrived now too. We're ready for whatever the enemy throws at us."
Azulongmon entered just behind them.
"That's good. Because they're on the way."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Leomon, Piximon, Whamon, the Sovereigns, Arukenimon, Wizardmon and Mummymon all held court with the Digidestined in the central chamber. Cannondramon then arrived as well.
"I've just heard from my agents. The enemy is amassing a massive army. Tankmon and Mekanorimon seem to be primary members, but there are loads of other troop battalions." she said nervously.
Leomon smiled.
"Excellent."
"Excellent? You consider the fact that we have an enemy army bearing down on us good?" Izzy asked incredulously.
Arukenimon smiled.
"You forget, we're better prepared this time. There is only on entrance to this cave on land, which means we can force them into a choke point, and as so much of Freezeland is ice and water…"
Joe grinned.
"We can use our water Digimon and attack them from underneath!"
"Exactly." Wizardmon said happily.
"Which means we're in a much better position than last time." Mummymon said cheerily.
"Also, you have all gone to Mega now, yep yep."
"We also have more of our own Megas as well." Leomon said.
"I have convinced several water Digimon to lend a flipper in the battle." Whamon said.
"And what's more, the cold that affects us doesn't anymore as we're now acclimatised. They aren't." Wizardmon said.
Piximon grinned.
Gennai entered at that moment.
"They're coming. The rest of the Covenant."
Tai smiled.
"Then lets get ready to meet them."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SkullMammothmon looked up at Ghoulmon resentfully.
"He's going insane. The fact that the brats have got so far has faffed around with his head."
HiAndromon shrugged.
"Not much we can do about it though, is there? He's the leader, and what he says, we have to do."
Boltmon cleared his throat.
"Not unless we find an expedient solution."
The other two stopped in their tracks, while the rest of the army kept marching into Tropical Jungle.
"What are you saying Boltmon?"
Boltmon smiled evilly.
"That when we win the battle, we tragically lose Ghoulmon in the fighting."
"Kill him off. I like it." SkullMammothmon said.
"They will be furious!" HiAndromon said in terror.
"Not if we tell them it was the Digidestined. They'll understand, then we can take over the Covenant and rule the Digital World. Besides, having a third each is so much better than a quarter."
"Agreed. Regardless of what happens in Freezeland, Ghoulmon does not come home!" HiAndromon said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kari grinned at TK as she passed. They weren't back together yet, but they were getting there. She was heading towards the storeroom, to help bring up some mines for the battle, when she heard the Digimon. Interested by what she heard, she pressed her ear up against the door and started to listen.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Well, we've done alright so far haven't we?" Wormmon asked.
"And are we all really in danger?" Hawkmon asked.
"Oh yeah. Tai, Matt, Sora, TK, Kari and Davis. Cody will be offended by the thing, so he'll join in, Yolei will go because it was Kari, and Ken will follow her, Mimi will go for Sora, Joe will follow, and Izzy will probably go to not feel left out. We're dead if they find out. We're all dead!" Palmon exclaimed.
"No we aren't. Not if we keep our mouths shut. If we keep schtum, they need not know of our little miscalculation." Biyomon said.
"When do we tell them?" Gabumon asked.
"When they're on their death beds." Veemon said.
"Oh, Gatomon, did Veemon tell you that he urged Davis to go after Kari again?" Armadillomon asked.
There was deadly silence. Then Veemon turned to his friend.
"Oh thank you very much. I was always a great believer of loyalty. Thank you so much!"
He then got up, put on his cap, and headed for the door.
"Get back here." Gatomon said in a deadly voice.
Veemon turned and sat down, his head bowed. Gatomon advanced menacingly towards him.
"Why?" she asked dangerously.
Agumon and Gabumon were offering up prayers to spare his life while Veemon moaned.
"Well, why should TK get her automatically? Davis loves her too."
Gatomon flashed her claws.
"Should have just kept your mouth shut pal." Patamon said.
"Wait! Before you kill Veemon, why should Kari automatically go with TK?" Gomamon asked.
There was more silence.
"It was nice knowing you Gomamon." Biyomon said, shaking his front paw.
Gatomon span towards him. Patamon glared at him too.
"What I mean to say is, why is it automatically assumed that TK and Kari should be together?"
Gatomon sighed.
"I cant be bothered explaining."
"Look on the bright side. They look like they're sorting things out, which means we're perfectly safe and they wont find out that we could have prevented the entire thing." Agumon said.
"And if they do find out we better right out our wills awfully quick." Hawkmon said.
The door opened at that moment.
"Then you had all better start writing." Kari said in a deadly whisper.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Arukenimon and Mummymon were listening at the door as the Digidestined went ballistic at their Digimon.
"Ooh, that sounded sore." she said as a rather loud clunk was heard from the other wised of the door
"They should have kept their mouths shut." Mummymon said, as a screech of pain was heard.
"You two should be ashamed of yourselves." Leomon said as he walked up the corridor.
"The kids are going bananas." Mummymon said gleefully.
"Oh heck, they've stopped shouting. Run for it!" Arukenimon screamed, and the three shot off down the corridor, as it banged open to reveal a very angry group of Digidestined, and just as many bruised and dazed Digimon in the room behind them.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day dawned bright and cold. The Digimon were rather subdued, and after muttering a greeting to their partners, sat at the table and ate their breakfast in silence.
"Monzaemon vanished in the night." Wizardmon said over a bit of toast.
"Where to?" Kari asked
"Toy Town is what we're assuming. Or maybe to Misty Trees. He knows the Kokatrimon and the Cherrymon who live there."
Gennai then dashed in.
"They're here! Loads of them!"
The kids all turned to their partners.
"Friends again?" Tai asked.
"Friends." Agumon said happily.
They all shook hands, and dashed out to meet their opponents. Davis lightly grabbed Kari's arm.
"Be careful out there." he said, hugging her.
They then heard a noise from outside, and Kari knew it was TK.
"This is getting ridiculous." she cursed, and wet to the battle.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
There were hundreds of them, pouring in from Great Canyon and Misty Trees.
Tankmon, Mekanorimon, Guardmon, Flarizamon, Yanmamon, Saberdramon, MoriShellmon, Goblimon, Darkizamon, Fugamon, Bakemon, Vilemon, Hyogamon, IceDevimon, RedVegiemon, Weedmon, Geremon, Sukamon, Numemon, Nanimon, Devidramon, and all sorts of other unsavoury creatures.
"There's loads!" Agumon said in shock.
"Not for long. We have business with Ghoulmon, with the rock and stone." Cannondramon said, and she plodded off.
"Here we go. Hold on to something." Azulongmon said.
"Agumon warp digivolve to…WarGreymon!"
"Gabumon warp digivolve to…MetalGarurumon!"
"Biyomon warp digivolve to…Phoenixmon!"
"Tentomon warp digivolve to…HerculesKabuterimon!"
"Palmon warp digivolve to…Rosemon!"
"Gomamon warp digivolve to…Plesiomon!"
"Patamon warp digivolve to…Seraphimon!"
"Gatomon warp digivolve to…Magnadramon!"
"Veemon warp digivolve to…DinoVeemon!"
"Hawkmon warp digivolve to…Valkyrimon!"
"Armadillomon warp digivolve to…Vikemon!"
"Wormmon warp digivolve to…Mantismon!"
The twelve Megas appeared, and some of the army slowed down.
"My turn. Leomon digivolve to…SaberLeomon!"
Ghoulmon flew over his army.
"They are nothing. Destroy all in your path!"
"Seems to me that some of them might not like heights. Coming Rosemon?" HerculesKabuterimon asked.
"Definitely."
"We cant let them just stroll in." WarGreymon said seriously to MetalGarurumon and Phoenixmon.
"Agreed. But we cant have them all sitting idle." MetalGarurumon said frankly.
"Don't think we need to worry about that much." Phoenixmon said.
As if by magic, several snow drifts collapsed, and battalions of Mekanorimon, Tankmon and Guardmon appeared.
"Ok."
"The water Vikemon?" Plesiomon asked.
"Suppose someone has to." Vikemon said, and they both leapt in top the frigid waters, Joe in Plesiomon's mouth and Cody in a small bubble on Vikemon's back.
"We'll take Misty Trees. Come on Seraphimon." Magnadramon ordered.
"We'll take the ones in the middle then. Here we go!" DinoVeemon roared, and with that, the fight was on.
The four Covenant members landed beside the heater.
"ATTACK!" Ghoulmon ordered, and with that, the vast legions of the Covenant moved forth.
The thousands of enemies gave a great cry, and it began.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Terra Force!"
"Metal Wolf Claw!"
"Starlight Explosion!"
The three attacks decimated the first wave of enemies over the bridge and into Freezeland, but that was as far as the three of them got.
"Ghoul Wing!" Ghoulmon roared from nowhere.
The attack knocked the three of them for six, and the legions of the Covenant raced ahead into Freezeland.
"That's the ticket, let them come!" SaberLeomon said eagerly.
"Fire!" Cannondramon yelled.
Massive boulders and Brachio Bubbles sped from a snowdrift, flattening several of the enemy troops.
"Oh, a fine hit. Now its my turn. Dynamo Cannon!"
The three cannons on her back glowed bright and fired several beams of energy that decimated the horde.
"Oh, jolly good!" she said gleefully.
Then the Vermillimon charged into the battle, along with the enraged Mojyamon.
"Vermin Blaze!"
"Ice Cloud!"
The attacks crashed into the charging enemy's flanks, the right for the Vermillimon and the left for the Mojyamon.
Then the rest of the Resistance launched their attack.
"Cheese Bomb!"
"Stun Bubble!"
"Rock Fist!"
"Rain of Pollen!"
"Sub Zero Ice Punch!"
"Fireball!"
"Pummel Whack!"
"Bomber!"
"Party Time!"
"Drill Spin!"
"Symphony Crusher!"
"Volcanic Strike!"
"Ninja Knife!"
"Thunder Spell!"
"Blaze Blast!"
"Black Saber!"
"Pit Bomb!"
"Nightmare Syndrome!"
"Trick or Treat!"
"Spider Thread!"
"Snake Bandage!"
"Master Fire!"
"Smiley Bomb!"
"Metal Smirk Bomb!"
"Aurora Force!"
"Tai Chi!"
"Black Hail!"
"Iron Claws!"
"Blazing Helix!"
"Terra Destroyer!"
The attacks greatly reduced the attackers, but there were many more where they came from. SaberLeomon stuck his head in the frigid waters.
"Brr, its freezing! Right! Blow the charges then do your stuff!"
Plesiomon grinned.
"About time. We've been waiting for the go-ahead for ages. Blow em!"
Bombs blasted holes in the ice, and the charging Covenant forces couldn't stop themselves in time. Several of them wound up in the frozen water, and the rest had to slow down to avoid the same fate, which allowed more to be destroyed.
Then the water Digimon finished off the ones in the frozen sea, then leapt out of the holes.
"Blasting Spout!"
"Ice Breath!"
"Aqua Blaster!"
"Fossil Bite!"
"Pulse Blast!"
"Sorrow Blue!"
"Artic Blizzard!"
The enemies surrounding the hole were blown apart, and the two Digidestined Megas charged out and started blasting apart the surrounding enemies. Plesiomon then jumped back in, while Vikemon charged forward.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"You alright Kari?" Magnadramon asked.
Kari sighed in exhaustion.
"Just annoyed. And I know what I'm going to do now."
"Do you? Good."
Kari smiled sadly.
"You wont be saying that when you hear what it is."
Magnadramon never had any time to ask, as the enemy was pouring from Misty Trees like there was no tomorrow.
"Ready Seraphimon?" she asked.
"Definitely. Let's put these guys on ice."
Magnadramon sighed.
"They don't get any better. Why do I get stuck with him? Why me? I'm a nice person. Why me?" she wailed, and Kari and TK sniggered.
Seraphimon smiled, and then shot forward.
"Hallowed Ascension!"
Yellow beams blasted apart several of them, and Magnadramon then swooped down after him.
"Hermit Fog!"
They were surrounded in fog, giving the Digidestined an extra opportunity to do damage.
"Their future is clouded." Seraphimon said cheerily.
Magnadramon turned to him.
"For god's sake! If you don't stop making crappy jokes I'm going to feed you to Ghoulmon!"
Seraphimon laughed, and Magnadramon flew downwards.
"Fire Tornado!"
Several more troops were destroyed, but more had used initiative, and had come out of the fog.
"Flame Fist!" the Flarizamon yelled.
"Oh dear, the heat is on." Seraphimon said, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Magnadramon gave a snarl and shot up, and the attack hit the trees, which caught light. The blaze started to spread./
"Find Plesiomon!" she yelled to a Mamemon on the ground.
Seraphimon then tapped her on the shoulder.
"Seraphimon, if this is another stupid knock knock joke, I will eat you myself!"
"The trees are moving."
She slumped in exhaustion.
"Riddles now. It's the wind and the fire. That's why we need Plesiomon, to put it out." she said in a suppressed angry tone.
"No they are woman!"
She looked. TK and Kari were of no use as they were both cackling madly on their partner's backs.
"Christ they are. Sorry Seraphimon."
"That's quite alright. you always were rather wooden in the head."
The dragon turned to him, and flashed her teeth, and he desisted.
Down below, the Covenant forces were suddenly swarmed by a host of Woodmon. There were hundreds of them, and they chased the remaining forces out of Misty Trees, which were heating up fast. Then, a massive Cherrymon, and a Kokatrimon charged through.
"Foul Covenant, besmirching my forest! Be gone!" Cherrymon cried in rage.
"Frozen Fire Shot!"
The two led the Woodmon into the amassed forces, and the fight was on.
"Cherrymon? Is that the same on who played with Matt's head?" TK asked, regaining control.
"No, its his father."
The Woodmon, who had emerged from the trees charged at the Covenant forces from the Misty Trees, and divided up the enemy. Cherrymon and Kokatrimon gave enraged cries and rushed forward, blasting away with their attacks.
There was then a cry, as Monzaemon appeared, leading about twenty ToyAgumon, fifty Tinmon and twelve Hagurumon, all into the battle.
The enemy however, wasn't that stupid. They started to clamber all over the snowdrifts and into the centre of Freezeland, their attacks distracting the Resistance.
"Cant have that! Let's go!" Monzaemon yelled, and the Toy Town forces attacked.
The Misty Trees attacked at the same time, and they started to push in toward the centre.
"They'll give the enemy a chilly disposition." Seraphimon, unable to contain himself.
"AAAAAH!" Magnadramon screamed, and flew off, Kari laughing on her back.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ghoulmon snarled. Freezeland was, in retrospect, a very bad place for a battle. Forces were surging from Misty Trees, and the fire there was preventing any escape that way. Also, the enemy was better prepared, and the natural terrain also made it difficult for his forces to get anywhere. His Tankmon were all on odd angles, and their bolts kept blasting apart their own battalions.
"Who's idea was it to come here?" Ghoulmon snarled.
"Yours I believe." Boltmon said as he filed his nails.
"Well, why are you all here doing nothing!? WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon and Phoenixmon are decimating most of the troops coming over the bridge, Seraphimon and Magnadramon are helping defeat the Misty Trees forces, Plesiomon and Vikemon have already defeated most of our sea forces, HerculesKabuterimon and Rosemon are knocking our forces off the bridges and into the canyon, and the others are attacking our artillery! Move!"
They leapt to it, HiAndromon going after the three bridge attackers, SkullMammothmon going for Vikemon, who had just resurfaced, and Boltmon going after Rosemon.
"The Holy ones are mine!"
Ghoulmon sprang up to get to them, but he was whacked down by a massive orange tail.
"What!?"
Cannondramon snarled at him.
"You are going to pay for all you have done." she growled.
She charged at him, and the fight was on.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SkullMammothmon was meant to be going after Vikemon, but the Mojyamon tribe was a little to the side, along with a host of Woodmon and Rookiees from Freezeland itself.
"Stampede Dash!"
He crashed into several, destroying a large group of SnowAgumon. He then attacked.
"Trunk Laser!"
Thirty Woodmon blew apart, and the Mojyamon scrambled away in retreat.
"I'm going to get ya!" he said happily.
He galloped after them, but then the massive hairy form of Vikemon crashed his maces into SkullMammothmon's shoulders, stopping him in his tracks.
"Oh no you wont." Vikemon promised.
Vikemon then shoved him away, and the evil elephant laughed.
"You pathetic fool. Do you really think you can stop the Covenant?"
Vikemon grinned.
"We've done pretty well so far."
SkullMammothmon gave a roar.
"Spiral Bone Crusher!"
Vikemon took the attack in the chest, and sagged.
"Trunk Laser!"
This attack knocked Vikemon into the water behind him.
"You see? You are no match for me!"
Vikemon didn't respond. He then leapt up right in front of SkullMammothmon, making the evil Digimon rear up on his back legs.
"Artic Blizzard!"
Massive, jagged shards of ice crashed into SkullMammothmon, sending him twirling away and crashing into the water, flattening a house in the process.
SkullMammothmon snarled, and leapt out.
"You insignificant fool! You aren't even at your strongest yet! I am going to destroy you!"
Vikemon smiled.
"Come on then!"
Cody moaned.
"We cant win."
"Yes we can. Watch."
"Trunk Laser!"
Vikemon turned hi shield to it, so that it deflected back and hit SkullMammothmon in the mouth. As the elephant spluttered, Vikemon dashed towards him and grabbed his trunk.
"Here we go!" he said, swinging his enemy around by the trunk.
SkullMammothmon gave a cry of pain as Vikemon let go of his trunk, and the skeleton crashed to the ground.
"Trunk Laser!"
Vikemon deflected it harmlessly into the ground, melting the snow.
"Spiral Bone Crusher!"
Vikemon laughed, grabbing the bone from midair and crushed it easily.
"Come on then, if you're so powerful!" Vikemon laughed.
"Will you please stop goading the big, ugly, angry, evil elephant!?" Cody pleaded.
SkullMammothmon gave an enraged roar and dragged his foot along the ground.
"Stampede Dash!"
SkullMammothmon then rushed towards him. Vikemon smiled, took his axe off his back, and held it out in front of him.
"Viking Axe!"
SkullMammothmon laughed, and then noticed that his feet were sliding. He couldn't stop. Vikemon had melted the snow with his attack! And now he was heading straight towards Vikemon's raised axe, sliding along the ice.
"Oh, bugger!"
His momentum was carrying him forward.
"NOO!"
With that, SkullMammothmon tried to dig in his heels, but it was too late. He slid right into the axe, and was split in two.
Vikemon laughed as SkullMammothmon was sliced in half lengthways, and the elephant burst into data.
"Told you I'd beat him." he said happily to Cody.
"Cool. But, let's not antagonise the bad guys any further, ok?"
"Right-ho!"
Vikemon then trotted off to fight another battle.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Cannondramon slammed her tail into Ghoulmon, knocking the leader of the Covenant backwards.
"Back, beast!" he commanded, but she ignored him.
She head butted him, and as he staggered, she watched SkullMammothmon be destroyed.
"Another one down. You're running out of allies." she said gleefully.
"So are the Resistance! Eye Blow!"
She bent her head to allow it to bounce off her cannons. She grinned.
"Ghoulmon, you're rule is failing. You have managed to provoke most of File Island to war, you have tried to split up the Digidestined and you have killed many good Digimon. How do you justify yourself?"
Ghoulmon growled.
"I am the ruler of the Digital World, and I have been charged with destroying the Digidestined, and no one is going to stop me!"
Cannondramon snarled.
"You show no remorse?"
"None!"
"Then suffer the consequences!"
She slammed into him, and he was knocked flying. She then slammed her gargantuan tail into him, knocking him off his feet.
"Eye Blow!"
She hit him with her tail before the bolt fired, sending it into another regiment of his troops. She then slammed her head under him, flipping him up into the air.
"Dynamo Cannon!"
The three beams blasted out of her cannons and sent him hurtling across the battlefield.
"Fire!" she called.
Boulders, Brachio Bubbles, Black Sabers, Blaze Blasts and Vermin Blazes flashed out of nowhere and slammed into the ruler of the Covenant. As he gave a pained scream, he was sent hurtling to the bottom of Great Canyon.
"Excellent job everyone!" she said happily.
She then looked at where Ghoulmon had disappeared.
"Debt's nearly repaid Ghoulmon."
She gave a great roar, and her dinosaurs followed her out in a massive stampede against the enemy.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Rosemon finished cutting apart a Darkizamon, and leapt up to the bridge again. Things were going well. SkullMammothmon had been destroyed, and there were only three Covenant members left. The charge from Misty Trees had crippled a large number of Covenant forces, and DinoVeemon's group was flattening the heavy artillery. Ghoulmon had been forced into retreat by Cannondramon, and the Resistance was taking full advantage of that. She turned to observe the rest of the battle, and ducked in time to save her head parting company with her shoulders.
"Boltmon!" she hissed.
Boltmon laughed.
"I'm going to give you a little payback!" he vowed, and swung his axe again.
"Roses Rapier!"
Her sword materialised in time to block the attack. She licked out at him, and lunged forward with her blade, however Boltmon was on the defensive, and blocked her attack. She flew over him, and landed behind him, her blade coming down at him with force. Boltmon cackled and kicked her in the chest, but she did the splits as she landed, forcing herself to her feet in an instant and lunging for Boltmon's chest.
The battle went on, entering such ferocity that both sides paused in their own battles to watch as they fought. Rosemon was a burning cyclone of energy, attacking high and low, in long, elegant strokes, while Boltmon fought hard and fast, with heavy handed attacks that would leave him open in places, which Rosemon wouldn't be able to take advantage of before they disappeared.
On and on they fought, neither fighter gaining the upper hand.
Mimi watched entranced as her friend battle the android.
"Come on Rosemon, stick your sword in him!" she yelled.
Rosemon wasn't as powerful as she was the time before that. Then it occurred to Mimi that she had the support of the crest behind her last time. Taking a deep breath, she called on her sincerity, ands the green light poured into her friend.
"Thanks Mimi!" she called.
With that, the duel gathered pace. Rosemon was faster, and more sure in her strikes, and Boltmon was forced onto the defensive. He was steadily being forced back, and they started to duel up the icy slopes outside Ice Sanctuary. They came to the top, and Boltmon knew the end was near.
"You're finished Boltmon. You've run out of room."
"Really?"
He then leapt at her, and knocked her hurtling off the Sanctuary and crashing into a snowdrift, where she lay face down.
He sprang down after her, his axe raised to cleave her in two.
"Forbidden Temptation!"
The glowing flowers knocked him flying to the ground, where he quickly scrambled up. The two faced off, and then sprang at each other.
Their weapons clanged, and then with one swift movement, Rosemon took Boltmon's new hand off. She pointed her blade at his throat.
"Yield." she demanded.
"Never!"
He swung his axe.
"Battle Tomahawk!"
The axe hit her, and knocked her, spiralling her into a snowdrift. She leapt to her feet, as the deranged android charged.
"Tomahawk Crusher!"
"Forbidden Temptation!"
The two attacks crashed into each other, and Boltmon roared in rage.
"Battle Tomahawk!"
An orange beam lanced out from his axe, but it wasn't enough. Rosemon's pink attack defeated it, and it was the end.
"Thorn Whip!"
Her whip threw him up into the air.
"Battle Tomahawk!"
"Forbidden Temptation!"
Boltmon's attack frizzled out, and Rosemon sprang up.
"Roses Rapier!"
Her blade came through his neck and right shoulder, and with one last enraged scream, he was gone.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
HiAndromon came out of nowhere, firing his laser.
"Atomic Ray!"
The red beam lanced into Phoenixmon's chest, knocking her into HerculesKabuterimon and crashing them both to the bottom of the chasm. WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon were thrown on the defensive.
"Death Boom!"
The bomb crashed into WarGreymon, throwing him out of sight.
"Metal Wolf Claw!"
The missiles streaked away at HiAndromon, who leapt high in the air.
"Atomic Ray!"
MetalGarurumon was hit in the side, and the great metal dog crashed to the ground. Now they were in trouble. While there were only regular troops left, as Ghoulmon had vanished and the others had been destroyed, none of the Digidestined Digimon could be spared as they were all facing off the enemy army. WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon were the only ones available to fight HiAndromon. And the massive android was steadily coming closer, to finish MetalGarurumon off.
WarGreymon then rocketed towards him.
"Mega Claw!"
HiAndromon laughed insanely and caught WarGreymon before he could deal any damage. He then threw him into MetalGarurumon, who moaned in pain.
HiAndromon stalked towards them. He was too powerful. The lethal robot was going to kill them both.
"In what world could you have possibly beaten me?" he asked, and raised his arm.
"WarGreymon!" Tai cried.
"MetalGarurumon!" Matt yelled.
"Atomic Ray!"
WarGreymon's foot then lanced out and took HiAndromon's foot from under him.
"Gotcha." he said, and the two leapt to their feet.
"I don't know about you pal, but I'm fed up of getting kicked around." MetalGarurumon said.
"You reckon?"
"I do."
"Ok then!"
The two shot into the air, and Tai and Matt's digivices activated in unison.
"WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon, DNA digivolve to…Omnimon!"
Omnimon, last seen in the fight against Diaboramon had returned. Just in time to see the extent of the Covenant's trickery.
Hundreds of boats were approaching, and they were full of Covenant troops. There weren't enough water Digimon to stop them all, and they would soon be at the shore. And as the Resistance hadn't yet finished with the first wave, things were about to take a turn for the worst.
Then they did.
"Death Boom!"
The attack caught Omnimon right in the chest, and he crashed to the ground, where HiAndromon leaped upon him and started pummelling him. Omnimon grunted, and moved his WarGreymon headed arm to protect him.
"Transcendent Sword!"
He slashed at HiAndromon, who sprang off, allowing Omnimon to his feet.
Omnimon growled deep in his throat, and HiAndromon dashed at them.
"Death Boom!"
"Double Breath!"
A stream of fire erupted from the WarGreymon arm, and a wave of ice erupted from the MetalGarurumon arm.
"HiAndromon, you and your Covenant will not succeed."
HiAndromon laughed evilly.
"We already have! Your Resistance will die here!"
The two attacks then blew apart, knocking Omnimon off balance.
"Omnimon!" Tai and Matt yelled together.
HiAndromon then slammed his shoulder into Omnimon, knocking him off the cliff.
"NOO!" Tai yelled.
"Omnimon!" Matt screamed.
Omnimon then sprang up from the cliff.
"Transcendent Sword!"
The sword made contact this time, taking a chunk out of HiAndromon's armour.
"Not good enough." he purred, and the droid gave an enraged cry and attacked.
Omnimon paled.
"Oh oh."
"Death Boom!"
"Supreme Cannon!"
The two attacks, one clear one bright yellow, collided in midair, and they bounced back and forwards between the two fighters. Omnimon then leapt up into the air, coming down with his sword drawn. HiAndromon was on the move however, and had gotten out of the way.
"Atomic Ray!"
The red beam lanced out, but Omnimon was gone. He was far above them, and was pointing his cannon at the approaching troop ships.
"Supreme Cannon!"
Bolts shot out and blasted ships apart, greatly reducing the approaching reinforcements.
HiAndromon gave an enraged cry and sprang up, tackling Omnimon from the air.
Omnimon crashed to the ground, but was on his feet in an instant.
"Supreme Cannon!"
Fireballs fired from the cannon, blasting several holes in the landscape, but still missing HiAndromon.
"Grr. Transcendent Sword!"
"Copy Paste!"
HiAndromon created a sword of his own and began to battle with it. Omnimon gave an irritated growl, and licked HiAndromon backwards, turning to flee. HiAndromon gave an enraged cry, and leapt in front of him.
"You're going nowhere!" he vowed.
"And you're going to the afterlife. You fell for it!"
And Omnimon shoved his cannon into the hole he had created before.
"Oh no! Atomic Ray!"
Omnimon blocked the attack with his shield, and laughed.
"Death Boom!"
He blocked that with the opposite shield.
"NOOO!"
"Supreme Cannon!"
There was a blinding light, and with a tortured, death like scream, HiAndromon was blown apart in a massive supernova.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ghoulmon laughed as the remainder of his fleet landed, and thousands more troops spilled out. He was about to fly to meet them, when Omnimon landed in front of him.
"Going somewhere?" he asked, flashing his cannon.
Ghoulmon snarled, and turned, only to see Phoenixmon and HerculesKabuterimon.
"Leaving so soon?" HerculesKabuterimon asked politely.
Rosemon, Plesiomon, Seraphimon and Magnadramon then cut off another escape route.
"It's rude to leave without thanking your hosts." Plesiomon admonished.
The other Digidestined Digimon then finished the circle around him. Ghoulmon was trapped.
"Ghoulmon, you have conquered the Digital World, enslaved hundreds of innocent Digimon, and ruined several lives. How do you justify yourself?" Seraphimon demanded.
Ghoulmon roared.
"I do not justify myself to anyone, Digimon or child alike! You little fools know nothing of what is to come, and you will not live to see it! My army will destroy you!"
It was true that the army was charging towards the Resistance forces, and SaberLeomon was obviously getting ready for a last stand with the rest of them.
"Surrender to us now, and avoid further loss of life." Magnadramon demanded.
"Never! Ghoul Wing!"
The grey blade shot out from his wings, and knocked them all about, as Ghoulmon rocketed skyward.
"Oh nuts." Mantismon moaned.
"Take them my friends!" Ghoulmon ordered.
The Digimon then sprang forward.
"Supreme Cannon!"
"Starlight Explosion!"
"Mega Electro Shocker!"
"Forbidden Temptation!"
"Sorrow Blue!"
"Seven Heavens!"
"Fire Tornado!"
"Extinction Attack!"
"Yellow Fever Flame!"
"Artic Blizzard!"
"Lightning Arrow!"
Hundreds of Digimon were blown apart by the wave of attacks, And Ghoulmon went pale.
"Now!" Azulongmon yelled.
"Blazing Helix!"
"Auror Storm!"
"Tai Chi!"
"Black Hail!"
"Iron Claws!"
"Terra Destroyer!"
"Dynamo Cannon!"
"Howling Crusher!"
The attacks ended, and there were massive holes in Ghoulmon's reinforcements. He gave a whimper, and knew he had but one choice.
"RETREAT!"
The enemy army didn't need telling twice, and they fled for the bridges.
"YES!" Davis called out in victory.
"I say we give them a parting gift. What do you say?" Omnimon asked.
"Definitely." Rosemon said, and they leapt in pursuit.
Omnimon flew up high, and pointed his cannon.
"Supreme Cannon!"
Massive balls of energy blasted apart entire battalions, making obvious holes in Ghoulmon's fleeing army. While the other Digimon attacked with everything they had, it was Omnimon who turned the tide, blowing massive holes in the entire army as they fled over the bridges of Great Canyon. His Supreme Cannon killed hundreds of retreating enemy Digimon.
"Seems to me that those bridges are very unstable." HerculesKabuterimon helpfully.
Rosemon smiled, and flew off.
"Roses Rapier!"
Her blade cut one side of the bridge, sending all the troops that were rushing across hurtling to their doom. Between her and Omnimon, and the battle before hand, more than half of the Covenant's army had been destroyed that day, and along with the deaths of the Covenant members themselves, it was a very good day.
"Victory, we have victory!" Piximon yelled happily.
As the Resistance cheered, Azulongmon frowned.
"Yes, we won the Battle for Freezeland. The Battle for the rest of the world is about to begin."
The Covenant is nearly defeated!
Ghoulmon is the only one left, and we've defeated half of their army, and we've also seen the return of Omnimon.
Now, next chapter wer see what Kari's decided on, a bit more of our newest couple, the victory bash and an unexpected chain of events, before we come to the final battle in the chapter after the next.
We're near the end!
Until then, please read and review!
