Shattered Light

Chapter Twenty Five: The Battle of Primary Village
Author's Note: Start of the finale! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. I do not own Fate or Destiny. I own Lindenmon, MegaGargolmon Xiao Mode (sure?), Azazel, and Naomi.
Primary Village was chaos. Battles were raging in various places, the clashing sound of attacks and war cries was a sweet, honey like melody in Azazel's ears. Among the maroon skies and dead trees Azazel strolled through the village, passing through the vulnerable digi-eggs.
It was all coming together. The three newly ascended megas were busy trying to 'save' their friends, the others were stuck in an alternate reality, that stupid imp and the little girl were out, and the last guardian was defeated. He knelt down, peering at a digi-egg with contempt.
"To think, we created all of you. Gave you life, choice and the ability to grow strong." He picked up the egg. It was blue with red markings on it. "And what do you all do? Waste it. It's become so typical..."
Azazel sensed something about to attack him. With lightening reflexes he shot up and back flipped into the air. Halfway through the air, he saw Lindenmon strike with one of her 'hands' where his head would have been. The Ancient One gasped, how did they-
"Corona Destroyer!"
Azazel swore and felt himself hit by the second attack. It tore through his body, damaging his data and almost breaking him apart. He was thrown into the water with a big splash. In the cool liquid, he fumed and his eyes blazed a bright, burning yellow.
Naomi must have reversed that portal he thought. Climbing out, Azazel looked around. It was those hybrids, and the two human children: Ai and Mako Haruki. However, no Naomi was seen.
Where could she have gone he thought feeling his core shudder. This was bad. She can't be here yet! Azazel's movements were erratic, swivelling around his head and body from one direction to another scanning with an almost frightened expression.
"Where is she?"
Then he saw her, walking over to that stupid girl and her digimon. The Ancient One knelt down holding a hand out patiently. Destiny looked confused beyond belief but reluctantly, took her hand while curling her other arm around the injured Fate. Azazel started to move as fast as he could towards them. He knew what she was up to now...
"Reality Crush!"
The attack just missed the trio. Naomi had disappeared along with the girl and her injured Impmon with a soft 'pop' sound. Azazel cursed, smashing the ground. His frustration was climbing higher...making him start to feel he was losing grip.
I can't let emotions control me he thought and let an unnatural calm overtake him. He turned around, and faced his hybrid group-his creations.
"Made it to the party? You were supposed to have an invitation."
"Yeah? Well, we're more of the party crashin' type." Beelzemon replied and cocked his gun. "Ai, Mako, get behind us!"
"Wizardmon, Witchmon, protect the eggs at all costs." Lindenmon ordered, releasing her 'hands'. All of her hands were accounted for; with two twitching erratically. They were still damaged from HiAndromon. The 'hands' seemed to have a life on their own, looking hungrily at the Ancient One and if they had teeth, they would be snapping and snarling.
Azazel took off his jacket slowly, peeling it off like it was stuck to his skin. He tossed it aside, not caring it hit the ground. Lifting his hand, a yellow spear was at his side in a flicker of data. Azazel looked different, with digital code pulsating through his skin, which was becoming translucent. A growl erupt from his lips,
"You are supposed to merge with me! That is your destiny, that is the prophecy! Four will become two, and two will become one. You're just delaying the inevitable!"
A harsh laugh escaped Beelzemon's lips. "Buddy, if ya think were ever gunna join forces with ya, you're just plain damn nuts."
"Attack!" Ai and Mako ordered.
Beelzemon and Lindenmon flew forward and charged Azazel,
"Darkness Claw!"
"Hands of Fate!"
The crimson sky emit an unearthly glow onto Alphamon and Magnamon. Their polished amour shone, weapons firmly in their grasp and the mysterious black magic known as 'Shattered Light' was crusted into their eyes. The dust shimmered, giving the appearance that their eyes were glowing yellow. There were also cracked marks on their eyes, like smashed glass.
Gallantmon CM knew this was not good. Battling not only two megas-but both of them were his comrades in the Royal Knights had placed him at a huge disadvantage over the two controlled digimon. In his grasp was the dangerous sword Jericho. He needed to somehow get through to Alphamon and Mangamon that they were under Azazel's mind control spell.
However, that required the two digimon not attacking them.
Takato, I don't like the idea either, but we need to fight back! Guilmon cried within the mega. His partner was grasping the concept that they would have to hurt their friends. Until now, all Gallantmon CM was doing was dodging attacks.
But...I don't want to. Takato thought. Gallantmon CM's amber eyes picked up Alphamon rushing forward-fist thrown up to punch the Biomerged knight. Ducking, Gallantmon CM crouched his legs and with as much force as he could muster, jumped straight up-flying away. Alphamon didn't follow. Wordlessly, Mangamon took off into the sky and attacked Gallantmon CM.
"Magna Punch!"
The attack missed. Gallantmon CM swung Jericho down and hit Mangamon. He only cut a part of his amour off with a clean swipe. Flying higher, Gallantmon CM pointed his sword down.
"Jericho Light!"
The sword did not respond. Magnamon punched Gallantmon CM's in the head and sent him flying down into the ground. With a crash, he groaned at the strength of Magnamon. He could hit.
What was wrong with Jericho? It should have worked. The knight racked their minds encountering a memory of Vulcanusmon giving a lecture on how Jericho should be handled.
"If you dumb asses try to use the sword right away-it ain't gunna work! You gotta give it a little bit of time to charge! It's slow to start but once it gets working, whoever is facing the two of you is gunna be hurting." Vulcanusmon wagged a finger. "So, do not use the sword right away, concentrate on using other attacks."
Gallantmon CM needed time and with Magnamon flying down and Alphamon charging up an attack, he hardly had any to begin with.
Sakuyamon MM was facing Lucemon CM and Lilithmon, two of the most powerful Demon Lords. While the thought excited her battle hungry sides, a small tinge of nerves prickled her mind like an annoying itch. The battle hadn't started, each waiting for the other's first move. This was fine by Sakuyamon MM, she needed time to handle who she were gong to summon with Bodhi.
We could summon another Demon Lord. I'm sure Beelzemon would come in handy, thought Rika.
No, they know his attacks. We need two digimon that can catch them off guard...and powerful ones, Renamon replied within the consciousness of Sakuyamon MM.
Two powerful ultimate's, that can cause damage and work together...
What about Cyberdramon and WarGrowlmon?
No, he's too big! Rika objected.
"Nazar Nail!"
The first move was finally made by Lilithmon where she had came out of nowhere, surprising the mega digimon. Sakyuamon MM bent backwards quickly, feeling the slight touch of the digimon's decaying claw. A burn seared into the skin of the shaman mega that made her gasp in pain. As well, the amulet was caught in Lilithmon's claws. Feeling angry that Sakyuamon MM was caught off guard, she let out a war cry and sent out an attack.
"Spirit Strike!"
The spirit foxes lunged forward, snapping and snarling at Lillithmon. It distracted her long enough for Sakuyamon MM retrieve Bodhi and jump back.
"Amythest Barrier!"
A large pink dome enclosed Sakyuamon MM letting her have a few more moments to think.
Rika, do we have a battle plan or not? Renamon's thought were sharp.
Yes, I know who we're going to summon.
Rika shared the thought instantly with her partner. Renamon felt unsure.
Rika, are you sure? Those two dislike each other!
I'm sure, they will work together.
Sakyuamon MM clapped her hands together and started the summoning ritual. A circle lit up around her with digi-runes appearing on the ground around her. The wind picked up, swirling around the mega's hair.
"Summon, LadyDevimon and Angewomon!"
Two spirits appeared. The first was a woman in all black with long silver hair, large claws and a black hood covering her head and half of her face. Chains adorned her voluptuous body, making her look terrifying. Ebony bat wings sprouted from her back.
The second one was a beautiful blonde angel with ivory feathered wings. A brown helm covered her face and a pink ribbon wrapped around her arms and body like a shawl. Her body had white fabric covering her one leg and most of her body, but a lot of her skin was visible. Small boots were placed at her feet with wings at the sides.
The two spirits looked each other with slight disgust. One was a vaccine digimon, and the other was a virus digimon. Plus, they were polar opposites in the digivolution spectrum. Rika knew from the TV show that they naturally disliked each other, but now she needed them to work together.
"LadyDevimon, and Angewomon! I ask you two to work together to help save our friends and this village. It's important. So stop with the eye rolls and go!"
The two spirits didn't say anything in response but stepped forward together. Angewomon opened her arms and a bow appeared before her. LadyDevimon lunged forward with her one claw hand.
"Celestial Arrow!"
"Bat Wing!"
MegaGargomon XM battled Cherubimon with careful attacks. His goal was to make sure Suzie and Lopmon were unharmed, but lost enough energy to revert back. The celestial digimon was large to begin with, rivaling MegaGargolmon's original size. They had gigantic pink claws, and ears with golden rings holding them in place. A jester collar was worn around their neck, and their body was long with white, pink and yellow colours.
"Lightening Spear!"
The attack shot out of Cherubimon, almost hitting MegaGargomon XM if he hadn't ran out of the way. His face changed into a more frustrated one. Taking out Uchide from his back, he tapped the hammer on the ground and stood as if he was at bat.
"C'mon! Try that again!" he shouted.
They were going to use the attacks against Cherubimon. Uchide could handle it, and maybe the energy would revert the two back to their original forms. The taunt was successful.
"Lightening Spear!"
The bolt of lightening shot out. MegaGargolmon swung Uchide as hard as they could, hitting the attack just right. It deflected and hit Cherubimon straight in the chest. A cry of pain was announced and the vaccine digimon flew back, gritting her teeth.
"Suzie! Lopmon! Fight the spell!" The small mega cried reaching out a hand. "I know you both are in there! Don't give up!"
The digimon flinched, giving MegaGargomon XM a glimmer of hope. They were both listening, just having trouble controlling. Cherubimon slammed her hand down on the small mega, trying to crush him.
"Jeez, were not bugs guys!" Terriermon's voice piped up.
MegaGargolmon XM rolled away, running a blur underneath the celestial mega. With Uchide he held it steady, ready to deflect another Lightening Spear. He looked around himself and saw he was in a large cluster of eggs. If they pulled a wrong move...
"Sis, over here! Let's grab these eggs!"
MegaGargomon XM saw a Wizardmon and a Witchmon fly over and start to scoop up the eggs. Witchmon looked at the mega.
"Don't worry about the eggs, my brother and I will get them to safety! Concentrate on saving your sister, Henry!"
The biomerged mega was dumbfounded at the two. Who exactly were these guys? Their visor reflected his suspicious expression.
"And who are-"
"No time-look out!" Wizardmon threw out his staff. "Magical Game!"
The fireball distracted Cherubimon from stomping MegaGargomon XM with her foot. Breathing in relief, the mega thanked Wizardmon.
"Listen, they're under Shattered Light's control! You need to demonstrate an act of love!" Witchmon piled another egg onto her body, letting her ghost cat carry a smaller egg. "Henry, tell Suzie you love her."
"What? How do you-" But MegaGargomonXM didn't get a response. The two digimon were gone, off saving more eggs from the perils of the battle field.
MegaGargomon XM talked within themselves.
We don't have any other ideas! Let's try it. Terriermon thought.
The mega ran around, dodging various stomps, attacks from Cherubimon. He spotted an opportunity where Cherubimon slammed a large claw on the ground. Running up the claw and arm, they were at Cherubimon's jester collar within seconds. Then, MegaGargolmon XM hugged the mega.
"Suzie! Lopmon! We love you two, please stop this!" he cried. For a second, they thought it worked as the white and pink mega stopped struggling. Then, the mega picked off the green robot mega and started to squeeze his body. The pain was indescribable, like everything was being popped out of him. Gasping for air, MegaGargomon XM realized that his data was starting to become unstable within body. He started to wheeze and Henry's voice emerged.
"S-Su-Suzie...I'm so sorry for-for the-f-funeral! P-Please, I l-loved dad! I was just trying to strong for you and everyone-else! It'-s-okay-to cry!"
Tears poured down MegaGargomon XM. From the pain, the memory of Janyu, and the thought that the two might be actually deleted any moment. Their body was unresponsive, held tight by the pink claw.
Then...they heard a voice.
"H-Hwenry?"
MegaGargomon XM looked up in surprise. The golden dust in Cherubimon's eyes was gone, revealing black clear eyes. The sorrow expression was there too and a tear was produced from one of the mega's eyes.
"Suzie...Lopmon...are you two alright?" the green mega asked, feeling his body being gently pulled into a hug.
"We're so sorry!" bawled Cherubimon's voice-a combination of Suzie and Lopmon's. The large being glowed brightly, and shrunk into a digimon and a teen girl on the ground. A worn out Kokomon and Suzie were now panting on the grass. MegaGargomon XM knelt down beside the two.
"Are you guys hurt?"
"No, we're just exhausted. We've been biomerged for almost three weeks straight. It took a lot out of us." Kokomon replied, gasping for air.
"Henry, you and Terriermon look different..." Suzie gently placed a hand on the mega's visor, feeling strange that they were a little shorter than her. MegaGargomon XM rubbed the back of his neck.
"We kinda got an upgrade..." Terriermon's voice chuckled. "We're fun sized now, Suzie!"
"It's so cute!" Suzie replied and hugged the digimon. "My big brother is now shorter than me."
"Suze..." whined Henry. Terriermon and Kokomon laughed at the sister's fierce hug. She pulled back with a very different expression on her face.
"We need to stop Azazel, MegaGargomon. You broke the spell, how did you do it?"
"That Witchmon told me that love broke the spell..." he trailed off. How did she know that would work? Questions were popping into the mega's head faster than he could answer them. He picked up Uchide and placed it on his back. Turning to the other's battling he looked around. Witchmon and Wizardmon were cleaning up the eggs where Gallantmon CM and the knights were fighting. Sakyuamon MM had summoned an LadyDevimon and a Anglewomon to fight Lucemon CM and Lilithmon. In the distance, beyond the trees and by the water was a group of familiar faces.
"Guys, do you see who I'm seeing?" MegaGargolmon XM pointed a finger over. Suzie looked over and gasped along with Kokomon.
"Beelzemon, Lindenmon, Ai and Mako?! What are they all doing here?" Kokomon asked looking confused. "We thought they went missing! That's why we came to see CalvisAngemon when he summoned us! But...we were attacked."
"They must have some idea what's going on here-Henry, let's help them out!" Suzie grabbed the mega digimon's hand and started to drag them-an odd sight since Suzie was almost a foot taller than the powerful mega.
Then something entered the green mecha digimon's mind. CalvisAngemon...where was-
"Key Strike!"
Oh right, they all forgot he was still around. Rolling out of the way, MegaGargomon XM took out Uchide preparing to battle the other Holy Angel. CalvisAngemon took out his keyblade from the ground, and wordlessly face the green mega.
"Uchide Smash!" he cried, swinging the hammer with all their might. It was a good hit at CalvisAngemon. The angel mega hit a tree, then slumped to the ground. MegaGargomon XM swivelled to Suzie suddenly.
"Get to the twins and find out what the hell is going on! I'll hold him off! "
As the two ran off towards the twins, MegaGargomon XM stared dauntlessly at CalvisAngemon, spinning Uchide with his fingers. As soon as he stood up, the small mega charged forward with the hammer.
Suzie ran with Kokomon in her arms as fast as she could, trying to dodge stray attacks, and eggs. She jumped over a larger egg, and side stepped an attack from somewhere. The ground shook from all the abuse the land was receiving form the battles. Suzie felt exhausted but she had to push her legs forward. Her mind felt slightly fuzzy, after being fused together with Kokomon as Cherubimon for so long, it was unclear what thoughts where her own and what were the combined ones. Kokomon looked up at Suzie,
"Don't feel bad for what happened. We didn't know."
Suzie felt like crying again but held her frown and bit her tongue. Now wasn't the time to get teary eyed. She had to figure out why Beelzemon and Lindenmon were trying to battle Azazel while the twins stood away looking useless. Where were their D-Arcs?
"Mako! Ai!" Suzie called out, sprinting faster towards them. The twins turned around, looking shocked that their friend was here in Primary Village.
"Suzie? Kokomon?" Ai ran over, hugging the two. Mako joined them. "Why-are you-?"
Suzie cut off Ai's unclear questions with another hug. "We were controlled by Azazel's spell, but my brother and Terriermon freed us. Why are you two here? What's going on?"
"Azazel is this Ancient One that sent us to another reality. He tried to make us join him!" Mako answered, looking at his partners' who were fighting Azazel. Beelzemon just got knocked around and sent into water. He winced, feeling the pain.
"Why is he doing this!?" cried Kokomon. "This is a place for digimon to be reborn! Why destroy it?!"
"It doesn't matter." replied Ai firmly. Her brown eyes hardened, "What matters is that we stop him. Beelzemon and Lindenmon are doing their best, but he's winning. We need the others! Where is Henry and Terriermon?"
"Everyone else is fighting the groups! MegaGargomon is fighting CalvisAngemon, Gallantmon is stuck with the Royal Knights, and Sakyuamon is battling the Demon Lords. Haven't you looked around?"
The twins hadn't taken a complete view of what was going on. Battles were sounding off everywhere, and attacks had hit various parts of the village. They could see Wizardmon and Witchmon flying around at top speed, saving eggs left, right and centre. They were piling them up by the egg statue-farthest place from the battles. The village was becoming more like warzone than a peaceful sanctuary.
"Sis, have you seen Naomi?" Mako asked. The two looked around and noticed she was gone since they first arrived in the village. Suzie looked confused.
"Naomi?"
"She's another Ancient One-a good one. She helped us get back here. Azazel looked kinda scared of her." Ai explained then knelt down in pain. The others looked concerned and turned to the battle. Lindenmon had a large gash across her body from Azazel's spear. Beelzemon let out a dangerous snarl and attacked fiercely.
"You guys are feeling what they're feeling..." Suzie whispered.
"Tell us quickly what happened so far." Kokomon ordered. "And then we can figure out how to stop everyone from fighting."
Gallantmon CM finally had enough dodging Magnamon's attacks. It was becoming too much while Alphamon was trying to pick him off from the sky. Jericho was finally charged up and ready to go. A loud hum emitted from the sword. The mega flew up the sky and high as he could and let themselves fall down, charging straight at Magnamon. Sword pointed forward, they let loose his attack.
"Jericho Light!"
The light had no sound at first. An energy bolt shout out of the tip of the sword, and exploded into a million missiles of energy. They flew around Magnamon, honing in on the mega. Then, it hit him-sounding off a large explosion. It shook the ground, causing eggs to fall over and trees to rattle. Vulcanusmon was right. Jericho was a powerful sword once charged. The red knight looked bewildered at the attack. With that clear of a shot, it was impossible that Magnamon could walk away form that...
And he was right. There on he ground was the defeated Magnamon in his in-training form, knocked out. The knight turned to Alphamon with a sad look in his eye.
"Please, Alphamon. Let us know you're in there..."
Alphamon simply took out his sword. A black and golden two handed sword that looked deadly beautiful. Digi-runes inscribed the blade, and the pommel held an onyx stone. The digimon presented Gallantmon CM with a fighting stance. He complied, taking out Jericho and made a fighting stance as well.
"Alphamon..." he sadly knew this was going to end in them battling.
The swords clashed together in seconds. Alphamon swung horizontally and Gallantmon CM blocked. Shifting forward, Gallantmon CM lunged and almost got Alphamon's chest but he spun around and went for Gallantmon CM's head. The knight ducked, missing the attack. The black mega charged up his sword.
"Seiken Grandalpha!"
The attack knocked back Gallantmon CM considerably. Luckily, Jericho held and looked unbroken. With a war cry, he shot out his sword,
"Jericho Light!"
The large scale attack was miraculously dodged by Alphamon. His speed and reflexes were on point. During the blast, dust kicked up and the red mega couldn't see.
"Shit..." he mumbled covering his eyes from the debris. Gallantmon CM was about to fly up, but Alphamon checked the knight from behind, sending him into the ground hard. Gallantmon CM coughed, feeling sore form the hit. Looking out, he saw his sword landed a few feet away, impaled into the ground. The knight got up and started to make their way towards Jericho, but Alphamon pulled them back and slammed them into the ground, again. He slashed Gallantmon CM's leg and code spilled out.
'GAH!" Gallantmon CM felt the cut, and cried out.
LadyDevimon and Angewomon's attacks were on point with Lilithmon and Lucemon CM at first. Sakyuamon MM had to help control the flow of the battle and use her energy to help the two spirits out. She was still fighting, just using her power a different way.
Angewomon kicked Lilithmon with her heel, causing a scratch to appear on her cheek. A flicker of emotion appeared on her face, but it was gone as soon as it came. Angewomon had to fly back to avoid the dark claw of Lilithmon.
LadyDevimon was facing problems as well with Lucemon CM. He was punching his way through the ultimate, not caring what he hit or whom. His power was astonishing, to keep going without any sign of tiredness.
"Paradise Punch!"
Luckily, the black clad digimon had ducked and rolled out of the way. She flew up and attacked,
"Darkness Wave!"
The gust of black energy caused Lucemon CM to smash into the ground. He got back up, his cracked, yellow eyes staring at LadyDevimon's red, glowing eyes.
"I know both of you are in there!" Sakyuamon MM called out. "You have to fight that damn spell! Remember you're to protect this village-not destroy it!"
Lucemon CM twitched a little, letting LadyDevimon sent out another attack.
"Darkness Wave!"
The mega was ruthless, charging through the attack and attacking the summoned digimon without holding back. Sakyuamon MM wasn't quite sure how long they were going to hold...it was taking a dark turn.
"Darkness Love!" Lilithmon called out and blew a kiss. Angewomon was caught off guard and received the nasty attack. It made her shout out and hold her body tightly as the darkness encased her. She was in great pain but gritting her teeth, she launched an arrow from her bow.
"Celestial Arrow!"
It damaged Lilithmon and grazed her side. The Demon Lord shrieked and back handed Anglewomon in response with a loud slap.
"Angewomon!" Sakyuamon MM cried, feeling the sting of the slap on her own cheek. LadyDevimon was also being punched into the ground by Lucemon CM.
"Paradise Punch!"
She tumbled down, almost knocked out. Code crackled around her, threatening to disperse. A cold chill passed through the shaman mega.
"LadyDevimon..."
Rika, we're losing... Renamon thought.
Not yet. We got one more trick up our sleeve, Rika replied.
The shaman mega watched as LadyDevimon was held down by Lucemon CM's boot on her chest. Angewomon was held up by her throat with Lilihtmon's dark claw. Both were on the verge of disappearing. The energy within both was starting to fade and Sakyuamon MM starred to feel drained.
"That's enough!" screamed Sakyuamon MM. "D.N.A Digivoultion!" Bodhi glowed brightly, an azure light shot into LadyDevimon and Angewomon. They both dissolved into data and came back together as one digimon before Sakyuamon MM. Then, the data reconfigured into a new being.
D.N.A DIGIVOLUTION
"Angewomon..."
"...and LadyDevimon..."
"...D.N.A Digivolve to..."
She was a tall, humanoid mega with half of her covered in black leather, and the other half in white cloth. Blonde silver hair unveiled down her back in loose, tousled waves. A visor erased her eyes and concealed her face completely. Six bat wings and six angelic wings were on her back, connecting together to form the new challenger.
"MASTEMON!" The combined voices of Angewomon and LadyDevimon shouted. Without hesitation, she pulled her arms back charging her body for an attack. While Lilithmon and Lucemon CM were distracted by the digivoultion, Sakyuamon MM sent out her 'Spirit Strike' to help out.
"Chaos Degrade!" Mastemon cried, a grey energy blast fired. Lucemon CM had enough time to fly away, but Lilithmon was struggling with the spirit foxes that Sakyuamon sent out. When she had a second to look at the oncoming attack, it was too late. Lilithmon was trapped in the blast and screamed. Her body lost so much energy that she de-digivolved and was knocked out. Mastemon flew down to Sakyuamon MM.
"Thank you, Mastemon. That was well done." Sakyuamon MM didn't listen for a reply. She was staring at the fact that the eggs around here were gone. Did someone take them? She saw a Witchmon and a Wizardmon scoop some up around her and fly away. They looked like they were helping.
The victory against Lilithmon was short lived. Lucemon CM gave a shout.
"Grand Cross!"
One down, one to go thought Sakyuamon MM, glancing wearily at her friends who were stuck in their own battles. She then proceeded to fight with Mastemon again the great Demon Lord of pride.
Beelzemon and Lindenmon were giving it everything they had. The two were good hybrid fighters together-reading each other's bodies and minds easily. However, despite their teamwork, Azazel was winning.
He slashed Lindenmon's body when she was trying to recover from one of his attacks. Data spilled slightly making her shriek in pain. That made Beelzemon become terrifyingly angry. Anyone harming toots, was instantly in the 'deliver pain' books. And Azazel had made the top of the list. He made a glowing pentagram with his laser cannon,
"Corona Destroyer!"
The attack hit Azazel, but he used his spear to cut most of it in half.
"Nice try! Reality Crush!"
The energy blasted Beelzemon down into the water, a third time. His wings were soaked, not good for flying and water was something Beelzemon generally disliked. The mega was pissed off, hurt, and drenched. He was not having a good time. Lindenmon looked the same except she hadn't let herself fall into the water, yet.
"We could've been amazing!" Azazel slashed again into Lindenmon with his spear. "We could've been powerful! But you all keep avoiding your destiny!" He stabbed Lindenmon's arm and she withered in pain. "WHY?!"
"B-Because we c-choose our own destiny!" Lindenmon screamed and took the spear out of her arm with one of her 'hands'. She then stabbed it into Azazel's chest with all of her might. The Ancient One couldn't register what had happened at first. His yellow spear was sticking through his chest-almost alike what he did to Impmon back at the casino. He floated down to the ground and slumped over, breathing heavily.
"Finally." Lindenmon sighed and fell to the ground. Beelzemon flew quickly to her and held her upright. She looked beaten up, and ready to de-digivolve at any second. With a faint smile, she looked up at Beelzemon.
"Remember the good old days?"
"What good old days?" he grumbled.
"The days when I worried about the twin's bedtime, and getting you to stop setting me on fire."
Beelzemon chuckled lightly and pulled her up to stand. The angelic mega wobbled on her feet a little, using her strength and balance. She leaned against his chest, and looked at the slumped Azazel. Her hands clutched the mega's jacket tightly. One of his wings curled around her body possessively.
"Is he..."
"No way he survived that." Beelzemon confirmed. "Deader than a doorknob."
The twins stood beside their partners, feeling relief crash upon their bodies. Alas, it was done. Azazel was dead. Now, they just had to help the others with their battles and make sure everyone was safe.
"Heh."
Everyone tensed. That laugh...
"Heh, heh."
The slumped over Azazel moved. He lurched forward, letting his arms hit the ground, hands clutching clumps of dead grass. With a dramatic pause, he started to gurgle words,
"Destiny...you...want to know...about d-destiny?"
Azazel stood up, hacking and coughing. Data puked out, spraying everywhere around him. He looked far from the well dressed Ancient One he was before. His hair was out of place, his clothes were torn, and his eyes looked beyond psychotic. They were down right blood lust. Azazel with one hand, grasped the spear that was impaled in his chest and heaved it out in one motion. He groaned, but chuckled darkly when he looked at the gaping hole in his chest.
"Destiny...is never...your choice..." He dropped the spear and it clattered to the ground. No one dared to say a word. It was all so surreal. How the hell could he have survived that? Beelzemon pulled Mako into his body, while Lindenmon did the same for Ai. The all looked terrified. Beelzemon took out his laser canon with fear etched on his face.
"Corona Blaster!"
The attack did nothing. Azazel stood there, barely standing, laughing harder. He started to sound hoarse and tired but the laughing grew louder, and louder.
"...so allow me...to show you..."
Azazel looked up at the group.
"...your TRUE destiny!"
It was then that Azazel reached his arms, and they stretched into dark claws. They grabbed Beelzemon and Lindenmon's faces violently. Pulling back, the megas were dragged to Azazel, despite the twins trying to grab on each one of their partners. Ai and Mako missed and landed face down into the ground. They each reached out, crying out their digimon's names loudly.
"Beelzemon!"
"Lindenmon!"
The hybrids bodies were pulled into Azazel and lifted up in to the air with those dark black claws. Beelzemon thrashed and cursed trying to break free but he was stuck. His head felt like it was being crushed as the pressure grew greater around his head. He looked to Lindenmon who wasn't moving...
The energy left him like a zap ray. As Impmon, he fell on the ground. He coughed and gritted his teeth. When he looked up, he instantly paled.
There was still Beelzemon there being held limply by Azazel's one claw. It disappeared in a purple light and was absorbed into Azazel. Impmon's eyes looked to Lindy who was on the ground with him as her Impmon form. Lindenmon-at least her body-was being absorbed into Azazel as well. The two rookies got up slowly, looking mortified at what the Ancient One had done.
Azazel had stolen their mega forms.

See you Sunday!
