Digimon Xros Wars: HunterZ

Chapter 9

SkullGreymon let loose a fierce roar as it trudged slowly towards the group, its skeletal body creaking and scraping in an unholy manor. It laid its eyeless sockets towards the strange wolf-like Digimon before roaring once more and attacked by letting loose a foul and darkly looking smog from its mouth, Curse Breath.

As the group moved towards the Ultimate Digimon, the sudden attack of its Curse Breath was both a shock and a surprise as they tried to protect themselves from the attack. The Digimon partners felt the full brunt of it, as they fell themselves loosing strength and their breathing becoming haggard and gasping.

"This...is...crazy..." Bearmon grunted as he slowly got up from his collapsed position, followed by Dracomon and Dorumon.

"Just don't...loose hope...we can...win this..." Dracomon heaved out before taking off towards the skeletal Digimon and unleashing an attack towards its face.

"Baby Breath!" Dracomon blasted out a high temperature small fireball towards SkullGreymon but the Digimon simply looked towards Dracomon and punted him away with a single swing of his arm, sending him flying into a nearby building.

"Dracomon!" Sosuke yelled as he watched his partner being batted away with ease.

"Damnit, Dorumon, lets get serious here!" Nadia shouted as she held up her Xros-Loader and pressed in the middle button. "Devimon, Realise!"

At that moment a dark blast was sent out of the Digivice and revealed the Devil Digimon himself, Devimon.

Devimon looked towards the groups Digimon and then towards the SkullGreymon and narrowed his eyes.

"Nadia, xros me with Dorumon now, quickly!" He commanded in worry for his partners.

"Already on it. Dorumon, Devimon, DigiXros!" Saying this, Nadia's eyes glew a light gold colour and she held her Xros Loader up above her.

As both Digimon were turned into data, they began to merge and from the glowing sphere they had created emerged a knight, towering at 50 ft tall. Half the height of SkullGreymon as it was now.

The knight Digimon, known as AkumaNaitomon, raised his blade, Lobera, and charged forth at the Undead Digimon.

"Dark Wave Devastator!" He called out his attack as he let loose a dark wave from his blade which expanded to being near 20ft in length. As the attack hit SkullGreymon, he reeled back in pain before letting loose his own attack.

"Dark Shot!" Opening up its spinal cord, it let loose an organic looking missile that hit AkumaNaitomon in the chest, pushing him back and leaving him gasping for breath from the attack.

"He's...too...strong..." Gasping, the Xros Digimon de-fused and fell to the floor exhausted.

"Danmnit, not even a Xros Digimon can beat him!" Nadia shrieked with fear.

Tadashi glared up at SkullGreymon and grinded his teeth. "We have to beat this guy...or Delta will be a laughing stock!" Saying that, Tadashi ran towards the Undead Digimon, roaring at it as he jumped towards it.

As the Digimon took notice, he swatted him away, sending Tadashi hurtling towards a car. As he hit it, he groaned in pain and grabbed at his side.

"Alright...that hurt..." Saying that, he slowly got up with help from Clara. "Take it easy Tadashi, we can bear it, just we gotta use our heads..." She offered meekly as she watched Bearmon also being batted at by SkullGreymon along with Velocitymon.

As Tadashi looked at Velocitymon, a thought finaly sprang into his mind and he grinned as he walked towards SkullGreymon yet again, this time, the top of his Xros Loader popping up and the Kanji for 'Evolution' could be seen on the screen.

"Lets kick this battle into turbo!" He called towards Velocitymon, whom looked at him with confusion before she saw the familiar golden glow in his eyes and his Digivice being pressed in.

"Finally!" She shouted as the golden glow surrounded her.

Sosuke carried Dracomon towards the battle and he raised a brow at Tadashi and Velocitymon before chuckling and shaking his head. Taking out his own Xros Loader, his too had the top popped open and the familiar Kanji of 'Evolution'.

"Ready, partner?..." He asked the beaten Digimon.

Dracomon simply chuckled before nodding his head as his body glew golden, the same as his partners eyes.

Clara looked over to Bearmon, whom looked at her with pleading eyes.

"Please Clara, I have to!" He shouted as he struggled to get on his feet.

Gulping, Clara nodded her head and, with renewed confidence on her face, took out her Xros Loader as the top popped open and one of the buttons pressed. She too had a light glow in her eyes.

At that moment, Team Delta, a group of people forced to become a working squad, spoke in absolute unison, as the call was heard all across the Digi Quartz.

"DIGITAL EVOLUTION! ACTIVATE!"

Velocitymon could be seen running through an area full of flames as she yelled. "Velocitymon, Digivolve too!" Flames surrounded her as she ran, growing in size to match that of a regular size car. Her fur changed to a black colouration and her tails became encased in chrome digizoid armor from the tips up towards the centre of her tails. Her crimson markings glew as she lept high into the air and flames were seen at the bottom of her paws. The exhausts on her rear sides lengthened and released a torrent of flames as small wheels could also be seen built into her rear legs. Landing infront of the opponent, she howled as a fiery explosion appeared behind her with the Kanji of her name appearing for a split second.

"EnjinOokamimon! The Blaze of Courage!"

Dracomon could be seen bounding over a mountainous area as the rocks blasted apart and he yelled out. "Dracomon, Digivolve too!" As the blasts of rock surrounded him, he leaped into the sky and his body grew in mass and height. His facial features became more aggressive looking as he took on a more draconian look. His wings grew as did his fangs and claws. If one would look, they'd see that his wings looked a little tattered. The colouration of his scales became a deep blue as a red horn grew from his snout and he glided in the air above his opponent, letting out a threatening roar as a blast of wind blew around his back, forming the Kanji of his name appearing for a mere second.

"Coredramon! The Gale of Kindness!"

Dorumon could be seen running through a darkened field as a blast of dark energy engulfed his being. "Dorumon, Digivolve to!" After a moment, red eyes could be seen as a much taller version of Dorumon stepped out of the shadows, his fur colour changed to match the darkness of the night and white fur surrounded his cowl and the bottoms of his feet and clawed arms as well as his tail. Wings sprouted from his back as he he took flight towards the moon, letting it surround his being before flying down towards his target and landing with enough force to crack the earth below him as his shadow behind him formed in his Kanji name to anyone who would notice. Blink and it was gone.

"Dorugamon! The Shadow of Love!"

Bearmon could be seen running through a jungle like scene as his body grew greatly as he passed tree after tree. "Bearmon, Digivolve too!" As the tree's became to thick to see him, Bearmon leaped out of them on all fours as his massive body, now being the size of a regular car. Letting out a great huff, he stood up as his purple fur and white markings shone in the sunlight. His fierce eyes locked on his opponent and he adjusted his spaulders and gloves that allowed his razor sharp, 10" claws to emerge from them. As he let loose a roar, the leaves that he blew around him formed his Kanji name for a second as well, just like the rest. "Grizzlymon! The Strength of Reliability!"

As the four Champion level Digimon faced down the Ultimate level, their human Partners, eyes glowing a fierce gold, raised their arms in a pointing fashion towards SkullGreymon before Tadashi spoke.

"You've been charged with disruption of the 'Quartz and the threatening existence of Digimon within this area."

At this, all four turned their hands into the thumbs down position before they all spoke.

"You're being Hunted. And a Hunter Never Hunts Alone!"

And that's that chapter done. Enjoy!
