Shattered Light

Chapter Twenty Six: The Battle for Hopes and Dreams
Author's Note: First off, thank you for the reviews so far-it has been so lovely to hear the various comments and I'm glad my cliff hanger worked out well. I won't say much but I will say this. When the time comes you should listen to 'Hopes and Dreams' from Undertale OST. You will know when to start the music. Trust me, I've been listening to it non stop while editing this whole part. Ladies and Gentlemen, let us enjoy the battle against the monster: Azazel!
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. I do not own Fate or Destiny, or -unclear muffled sounds here-. I own Lindy, Naomi, Azazel, -muffled sounds- and -muffled sounds-.
"No!" Ai and Mako cried together. Beelzemon and Lindenmon were the strongest forms their digimon had. Without them, they were sitting ducks. Suzie held Kokomon closer to her body.
"What are we doing to do?" she whimpered, looking like her younger self again. Kokomon narrowed her black eyes.
"We're going to stop him, that's what! Let me go at him!"
Suzie gasped, almost letting go of her partner. She held on tightly, like she was a stuffed animal.
"No! We don't have enough power to Biomerge-let alone you digivolving. Kokomon, I'm not letting you get deleted for nothing!" Ai and Mako looked sadly at the duo. They had been through a lot in three weeks under the control of Shattered Light. No wonder Suzie was desperate not to let her partner go back into battle.
"Impmon, Lindy! Get away!" Ai cried, waving her hands frantically.
Impmon and Lindy stepped back slowly. Azazel was changing once he absorbed the two mega forms, becoming larger...more...menacing. His body was popping loudly, growing more taller and muscular. Four wings sprouted from his back but at odd angles. Some were Beelezmon's black feathered wings, while some were Lindenmon's white missile toe wings. Beelzemon's helm was on one shoulder, and a white flower was on his other one. Underneath his shirt was Beelzemon's body armour and Lindenmon's shirt. Twelve hands sprouted as well, all having green eyes planted all over them. White ribbons danced around Azazel waist and a a metal coiled tail grew. His face was the worst. Large fangs hung over his lips looking jagged and misplaced. His once yellow eyes were multiplied over his forehead with green and red eyes. His black hair grew covering his face and his jaw became unhinged. Simply put, he looked like a terrifying monster combined with Lindenmon and Beelzemon.
"You are one ugly mother fuc-GAH!" Impmon dodged a blast from Azazel's new hand. The 'hands' among his body shot Beelzemon's Corona Blaster. Lindy started to run.
"Impmon! We gotta get back."
"Yeah, no kiddin' toots." he grimaced, holding his arm. "That bastard is gunna pay for takin' our forms!"
"Badaboom!" Lindy cried and stunned a hand trying to grab the two of them with her flame attack. She grabbed Impmon's gloved hand, and ran back to where the twins were. They pushed their bodies as hard as they could, their lungs screaming out for air, their muscles in their legs begging to stop-but they ran faster. A 'woosh' of air whipped behind them. Azazel must have tried to grab them again.
"Reality Crusher!" he yelled in a booming voice. He was charging the attack, and it sent off.
Mako gasped watching Azazel charge his attack. Looking at Suzie, he knew she and Kokomon had to get out of the way. He lunged forward and with his hardest, shoved Suzie and Kokomon back several feet.
"Gah, Mako!" Suzie screamed.
Mako didn't have time to do anything else because the blast engulfed him, Ai, Lindy and Impmon altogether. If Mako had to guess what it felt like for Lindy to take a digimon hit-this would be it. A million white hot knives poked into him and Ai, making them scream forever.
Finally, they felt again. It wasn't much they could feel but the ground on their backs, and the burning on their skin. The twins could open their eyes, thankfully. Ai felt Lindy's gloved hand within her reach and she turned her head around to see if she was alright. Mako looked at Impmon.
The both looked beat up. Data flickered within each of them, threatening to break apart. Their fur was frayed and burned off in places. Their bandana's were almost completely gone, a few scraps of fabric was left. Impmon groaned.
"That hurt like hell..."
"Ai...Mako...are you two...alright?" Lindy struggled to lift herself off the ground. The twins looked down at them once they got up. The twins knelt down again, feeling pain overcome their bodies. The best they could do was crawl towards their partners.
"We're alright. Just a little hurt." Mako lied, feeling light and faint. "You guys look worse." He touched Impmon's head gingerly. He winced as he let out a laugh,
"Yeah, I ain't feeling so hot."
"Lindy...don't die." Ai whimpered, feeling herself cry. Lindy coughed.
"Ai, remember what I told you?"
"About believing?"
"Yes sweetie-you too, Mako. Do you both remember?"
"But we don't have our D-Arcs! How will you digivolve?" Ai asked back in the house.
"Ai, that power is inside you and Mako." Lindy smiled. "You just have to believe in us and we will change. Don't worry, they were broken anyways."
"The power is inside us..." Mako whispered to his sister. "Even though our D-Arcs are gone, and Azazel took their forms, we have the power to change them-"
"-and change yourselves too." Lindy smiled. Impmon looked at her.
"Lindy, wait-"
"-they're ready." she confirmed. He made a unsure face but then changed into a serious expression, somehow understanding Lindy's meaning through those two words.
Ai and Mako held on to each of their partners dearly looking flummoxed. What did they mean by that? What was going on? Feeling their connection-their bond with their digimon they examined it carefully. It was weak, but still there. Something was also there, something they hadn't thought of before...
Azazel laughed harshly brandishing his grotesque fangs. Saliva dripped from them, making him look hungry and feral.
"Join me...we will change this place, and then destroy the other Ancient Ones! Naomi won't stand a chance, Eve and Iro will be annihilated and Domovoi will speak his last rhyme to me!" The monster before them was completely insane. Suzie and Kokomon shuddered at the sight of him. They felt very afraid of what was going to happen next.
With all the others battling, the disappearance of Destiny and Fate, and now the two rookie hybrids out of luck for their digivoultions, it seemed that Azazel was going to win the battle. He was going to be victorious and not only destroy Primary Village but eventually everything. There had to be some kind of plan, some kind of back up-some kind of help they could call out into the sky...
...but no one would come.
And when the end is nigh...
It's when times like these are the darkest, and all hope seems lost- a spark of light, just a tiny flicker will come to life. An aide that will make itself known-a part of the prophecy that was so overlooked, so interpreted as Azazel's plan, that he hadn't thought of the obvious. He hadn't thought of one simple thing that could throw everything he had worked for away.
...Four will become two...
"You'll destroy them all, won't you?" Ai asked calmly.
She struggled to stand up after the attack. Burn marks were displayed on her body, she was bleeding data profusely and her head was spinning. However, something inside her was growing, a kind of power that she didn't know she had until right then. She helped up Lindy, who made eye contact with the brown haired Tamer. It was understood then what they had to do.
"Digimon...humans...everyone."
Lindy spoke slowly, holding an injured arm with her gloved hand. Then, with her good hand, she grasped Ai's-linking each other. Memories flashed before her eyes: meeting the twins, the attack she took for Ai, when she found out they were her partners, and even the times when she comforted them or laughed with them. Her digimon code was feeling something different happen, a kind of shift that attracted her to Ai. It caused a sea green glowing circle to encase the area around the two; healing their bodies without them noticing. However, Impmon and Mako were noticing it.
It was time...
"All that we worked for, gone in an instant."
Mako held out a hand to Impmon, feeling the bond between him and Impmon start to melt...and merge. The wounds that were all over their bodies slowly started to heal as well. A violet circle of light started to glow around the duo.
"But, WE ain't gunna let ya do that!" Impmon cried, taking his Tamer's hand.
A flash of memories rushed through him. Their first meeting, the times he took care of him, the arguments, the reunions, the battles. It was time to fight together as one. It filled him with excitement, and also determination. He could feel the connection between him and Mako grow closer, and stronger like a waterfall cashing down on rocks.
They all had to protect. It was their duty. Not just Impmon and Lindy's-but now Mako and Ai's duty as well. The wind started to howl around them; swirling energy crackled everywhere-almost forming sparks of lightning. Some were electric violet, others were vibrant sea green.
"WE are unstoppable when we're together!" Lindy screamed.
"So Azazel, do you dare to fight us?" Mako asked giving a challenging look.
The wind howled louder and sparks of light grew brighter, snapping more frequently. Suzie's D-Arc started to beep wildly sounding off like an alarm.
Witchmon and Wizardmon stopped picking up eggs for a second and stared at the power emitting from the quartet in shock.
"Then see our true forms!" They all cried together.
With those last words, something remarkable happened. Two pillars of light unleashed themselves from the quartet. One was within Ai and Lindy-a bright sea green burst, another was a violet light coming from Mako and Impmon. Everyone stopped their battles and looked at the pillar of lights. They couldn't believe the power surging between the four, it was astounding.
BIOMERGE DIGIVOULTION
"Lindy Biomerge to..."
"Impmon Biomerge to..."
It was hard to describe at first. The feeling of two consciousnesses combined into one. To Lindy, it felt like having a warm rush of power dwell within her, like another soul that touched her mind, body, and spirit. Ai's feelings, her thoughts, and memories were flowing into her like a river; freely and openly. Nothing was hidden from the two now. Not the jealousy that Lindy felt towards Rose, nor the anger from Ai upon seeing Primary Village being attacked. The two felt themselves become a new being, a being that had one goal: to stop Azazel at all costs.
For Impmon, it was slightly different. He could sense the power within him and the soul of Mako was there-along with his thoughts and feelings. However, he knew Mako could sense the guilt, and the wrath Impmon had displayed in the past. Mako understood it and accepted it, sharing his confidence, and courage. The two were one, and they had a very important job: to defeat Azazel.
Most of all, they all shared a very powerful love that very few could understand. It went above and beyond, understanding flaws and even accepting them within each other and themselves. The love they shared, was enough to stop Azazel, and they knew it. It crashed through Primary Village-and broken anyone under the Shattered Light spell.
The first digimon that emerged from the light was a mystical being. It was humanoid, tall and toned with four long arms. A yellow sash garbed the digimon across the chest, with complex digi-runes trimming it. It wore baggy white pants with long blue and black boots. A silver deer mask was concealing her face, with just ruby, red lips curled into a smile. Beautiful carvings and designs donned the mask, with the crest of hope upon the forehead. White, grand antlers bore out of the digimon's head. They twisted and branched out, looking mighty and dangerous to whoever was unfortunate enough to fall upon them. In contrast to the white antlers, dark brown hair flew out behind the digimon, in a tight braid. Tuffs of brown and white hair framed her jaw line. A simple sea green ribbon tied her braid up. With a mighty voice that sounded like the perfect blend of Ai and Lindy's voice, she called out her true name.
"KASHIMON!"
The second digimon that presented itself was familiar to Beelzemon however, there were significant changes. He lost his wings and a dark matter replaced his flying appendages that looked like it was alive on its own. It was no solid matter, but seemed to be like a liquid, blobs of darkness. They formed into replica of his wings, but moved more freely. The face mask that Beelzemon wore was no longer purple but a blood red colour. Horns sprouted from the digimon's head, as dark and tusk like. His blonde hair grew longer, almost down to his shoulders in choppy locks. Upon his suit was a red cape draped over his left side and flowing out, stopping at his mid back. Digi-runes trimmed his cape, with the crest of life on the centre of it in purple embroidery. Upon one hand, was his laser canon, and in the other was his hand was the same dark matter that was on his wings. It formed into a large claw. Upon opening his eyes, two revealed to be emerald green, and the one in the dead centre was brown. In a fierce cry, Mako and Impmon's voice he announced himself,
"ALLOCENMON!"
Lindy we did it! We biomerged! Ai thought, happiness and pride swelled within Kashimon. Lindy shared her joy with Ai. It felt so different to be connected to the girl this way. They were one as Kashimon and they moved their hands to be in awe at the synchronization. Lindy's experience in battle, plus Ai's fierce determination would prove more than enough to make them a formidable opponent.
"Who would have thought, huh?" came two familiar voices.
Kashimon turned to Allocenmon, taking in the demon digimon. He looked more menacing, but a soft gaze was held just for her.
"That one day, we would actually be able to biomerge. Four becomes two...that was us all along! The prophecy stuff Azazel was talking about talked about us biomerging!"
With this power, I think we stand a chance, guys. Mako's thoughts were hopeful.
As long as we believe in each other, we will always stand a chance. Lindy replied.
Striking out a hand, Kashimon sent out a wave of light, enveloping all the injured digimon on her side. Sakyuamon MM, MegaGargomon XM, Gallantmon CM, Kokomon, Witchmon, and Wizardmon all felt rejuvenated.
"Heaven's Resurrection! Arise, my brothers and sisters! Stand up, for we are not done with our battle, yet!" Kashimon was a spirited digimon, filled with determination, hope, and devotion.
Suzie struggled but pulled out her D-Arc while balancing Kokomon on her hip. The reader took a few seconds to detect the two new digimon but it first took in the humanoid deer mega.
"Kashimon, mega, vaccine digimon. As an ancient guardian, her special attack is Heaven's Resurrection, which heals digimon." Suzie trailed off looking in awe.
"She must have just used that-I feel so much better." Kokomon squeaked. Suzie turned her device to Allocenmon.
"Mega, virus. Another ancient guardian digimon. His special attack is Corona Desolation..." Suzie smiled. "Mako...you finally did it." The virus mega looked menacing and intimidating but you could easily see the bravery and the strength within him.
"Alphamon?" Gallantmon CM asked, looking at the mega doubling over. The digimon shuddered and dropped his sword. The black Royal Knight viciously rubbed his eyes, trying to clear the dust out of them. In seconds, he looked up with clear amber eyes.
"Gallantmon...I'm free?" Alphamon was greeted by Gallantmon CM helping the mega back up on his feet.
"Allocenmon and Kashimon must have broken the spell. We're so sorry for battling you, but we had no choice."
Alphamon waved it off, giving Gallantmon CM a large bear hug.
"You were brave, Gallantmon. I'm proud to call you a Royal Knight-it isn't easy to stand up to your superiors even when they're wrong. I...apologize for being brash earlier. Now, we need to stop this Azazel before he harms anyone else or these eggs."
"Can you guys get the others and make sure they're okay? I'm going to help in battle." Gallantmon CM didn't say anything else, but left Alphamon to hopefully agree with his request. Kashimon and Allocenmon might be powerful, but they were going to need a lot more help. He flew over to the two mega's and called out their names.
"Gallantmon, whada think?" Allocenmon grinned cockily. The biomerged mega could definitely hear Mako and Impmon's voice. Gallantmon CM held Jericho close.
"A little sporty if you ask me." Gallantmon CM teased. Allocenmon's 'wings' ruffled and twitched.
"Sporty? Fine, I'll show you sporty-" Allocenmon steadied his laser canon at Azazel and it wined up with a high pitch frequency. After energy was absorbed, the biomerged guardian called out his special attack, "Corona Desolation!"
Allocenmon's attack didn't look like much until it travelled half way though. The blast blew itself apart and like missiles, exploded all over Azazel. Domes of fire consumed Azazel in yellow and orange flames. The monster screeched at the result of the attack.
"Yeah, I didn't think he liked that." Gallantmon CM said and held Jericho, ready to attack.
"Ain't supposed to."
Kashimon waved over the others. Sakyuamon MM, MegaGargolmon XM, Lucemon CM, and CalvisAngemon. The two leaders looked exhausted but much better than they were, taking in the new megas that appeared. Sakuyamon MM looked up at Kashimon. She was almost ten feet tall.
"So, you two finally biomerged." she smirked. "You two came a long way since we last saw you." Kashimon smiled.
"We have grown a lot. Sakuyamon, watch this!"
Focusing her hands, Kashimon did a complex set of movements and made a beautiful silver bow appear. It appeared to be made out of digi-ore, and had several runes inscribed into it. A white, glittering arrow appeared at the string and the mega pulled it back with two of her hands. White frost circled around her and a light dusting of snow fell down. She didn't appear to be chilled by the preparation of the attack and let out a shout,
"Ice Miracle!"
While Allocenmon's attack was fiery and loud-Kashimon was more quieter. The arrow struck Azazel into his chest, and ice blossomed around him-freezing his core. Azazel let out another ear piercing screech. Kashimon looked to Sakyuamon MM for appraisal.
"Very good, Kashimon. Now, can we actually battle? I want to turn this freak into ash ." Sakyuamon MM growled.
"Be my guest." Kashimon replied.
"Lucemon, CalvisAngemon. Can you two help that Wizardmon and Witchmon with the eggs? This is going to get nasty." MegaGargomon XM pointed to the two digimon who were struggling to get a very large egg moving out of harm's way. Lucemon CM clicked his tongue.
"I suppose they need help. Only if CalvisAngemon isn't going to backstab me."
"Brother, I will be on truce as long as you are." the angel mega replied. The two took off to help Wizardmon and Witchmon.
The megas all charged their attacks at Azazel. It was like any other battle, just line up all the attacks and shoot the monster down. There was no way Azazel could stop all the digimon there.
On the ground, Kashimon, Sakyuamon MM, and MegaGargomon XM all started to prepare their attacks again. Kashimon drew her arrow, Sakyuamon MM got Mastemon to prepare another Chaos Degrade while she was going to send out a Spirit Strike, and MegaGargomon XM was going to use his Mega Barrage attack.
In the air, Gallantmon CM, and Allocenmon got their attacks ready. The Royal Knight held Jericho steady with two hands, Allocenmon aimed his laser cannon.
"Altogether!" shouted Gallantmon CM. "Jericho Light!"
"Corona Desolation!"
"Mega Barrage!"
"Spirit Strike!"
"Chaos Degrade!"
"Ice Miracle!"
The attacks launched into Azazel. Each hit him harder than the last. He let out a cry of frustration and looked around. This was not doing good! He needed to absorb something else! If he can't have those two hybrids-then he will settle with the other two! There, he saw Witchmon and Wizardmon carefully picking up a heavy egg a few dozen feet from him. The egg was a little larger, so they were concentrating on picking it up rather than Azazel sending out a dark claw towards them.
"Abosrb!"
"Shit, look out!" cried MegaGargomon XM, trying to move as fast as he could to intercept the attack.
Witchmon and Wizardmon didn't even have a chance to raise their defences when they saw the evil claw zoom towards them. They gasped, and tried to pull up an attack but as they did, a flash of familiar, black feathers whizzed in front of their faces. A figure stood before them protectively. It drew out a sword and called out its attack.
"Blade of Destiny!"
The first thing Witchmon and Wizardmon saw was that the claw had been sliced clean off. Azazel screamed again, lashing his other 'arms' out at everyone. They started to avoid the appendages. The figure turned around, making Witchmon and Wizardmon shout in surprise.
The figure resembled Beelzemon in his Blast Mode. Tall, with a medieval helm covering their face. Sturdy metal armour covered most of the leather clad body and instead of guns, a ebony sword was in their disposal. Dark large wings were widened out, making them look more like an avenging warrior than a the dark angel the twins were used to.
"B-Beelzemon?" Wizardmon put out a gloved hand. The figure grunted.
"No, I'm sorry Wizardmon." the voice was a mixture of a girl and Impmon's. "We are Fatemon."
The two hybrids cast their eyes downwards. They thought for sure he came back for them. It would be just like him to come at the last minute to save them. However, the memory of Impmon being impaled by Azazel lit a fire deep in their hearts. One way or another, they would avenge for his death. Fatemon asked if they were harmed.
"No, we're fine," Witchmon gripping her broom tightly and gazing at the mega with large brown eyes. "Thank you."
"Good. Keep up the work and protect all these eggs. I know you two can do it." Fatemon gave a little smile and with that, the armoured mega flew off into battle. They met up with MegaGargomon XM.
"Who are you?"
Fatemon gave a laugh.
"Can't remember us? We're Destiny and Fate. This is our mega form, Fatemon."
"You two can Biomerge?!" Terriermon's voice spoke aloud in shock. "No-of course they can. What was I thinking. Do you have a secret spell that can lock this guy up, too? Or can you just wave your sword and make everything all better?"
"Terriermon!" scolded Henry within the mega.
"Naomi is working on it. They should arrive soon." Fatemon replied ominously. Before the small, bunny mega could ask for clarification, Fatemon joined the battle and leapt into the air holding out an arm.
"Balanced Reality!"
The attack was swift and knocked out several 'arms' of Azazel. He gave a scowl.
"Oh look, you two Biomerged. Prophecy not going according to plan?"
"You have no idea how messed up, you made things." growled the warrior digimon. "You ruined lives! As Fatemon, we will make sure this prophecy will be saved!"
"Two will become one-that was you two all along! You tricked me-it was supposed to be me that merged with two hybrids!" Azazel looked furious at Fatemon.
"To be fair, we had no idea we were part of this until last minute. Naomi brought us back to speed and gave us a nice little power boost. And you could use some work on interpreting prophecies." Fate's voice teased. Azazel looked like he was going to burst a vein. With a strangled voice, he shrieked,
"DIE!"
"Jericho Light!" Gallantmon CM cut off another arm that shot out to Fatemon. "How do we destroy this guy!?"
"We have to buy time. Naomi is collecting the others so we can imprison him." The avenging mega replied.
"Fine, then let's buy some damn time! Corona Desolation!" Allocenmon cried, unleashing another powerful attack.
"Balanced Reality!"
"Jericho Light!"
"Chaos Degrade!"
"Spirit Strike!"
"Uchide Smash!"
"Ice Miracle!"
The battle was becoming exhausting within time passing. It felt like for ages that everyone was fighting. Azazel changed his attacks from unleashing his appendages, to summoning dark shadows to attack others. Twice, Suzie and Kokomon almost got killed if it wasn't for Allocenmon and MegaGargomon XM keeping a watchful eye out for them.
Fatemon had been a remarkably huge help. They would distract Azazel from focusing on one mega digimon, and bombard him with attacks. Some tore through him and his core, but mostly, he could deflect them with his 'hands' that he used from Lindenmon's powers. Often he would use her Heal Sage to revive himself. It was becoming increasingly frustrating battling the monster.
"If we could get rid of him using Lindenmon and Beelzemon's powers, we would be golden." MegaGargomon XM said.
"How can we do that?" Sakyuamon MM asked, keeping up her strength with Mastemon. The combined mega was getting hit left right and centre from the 'hands' of Azazel. Twice, the monster bit Mastemon making her bleed data.
"Well, Lindenmon has a weakness for her horns. They must be on him." Lindy spoke up within Kashimon. "If you hit them, he'll go into shock."
"And, Beelzemon's wings...snap 'em." Impmon said in a distant voice. Mako felt the memory of Beelzewomon breaking his wings fill their minds as Allocenmon and it made Mako shudder within the digimon. That was an unpleasant feeling.
The group went to work. Gallantmon CM flew around and destroyed a black feathered wing with his sword. It caused Azazel to howl in pain and unleash a dark blast of energy around. Everyone flew back, feeling drained immediately. The digimon were struggling to stay together in their final forms. They couldn't break apart! It was like trying to hold on a slippery hand, it just kept getting harder to do as time wore on.
"You can not beat me!" Azazel roared, catching Fatemon in mid air and squeezed them. "I created you-I made you-I made everything! I am a God!"
"Wow, someone hit the repeat button." Allocenmon muttered and threw out his dark hand. "Dark Claw!"
The claw struck Azazel's arm that held Fatemon and it was destroyed. With a swoop, the demon mega caught Fatemon in mid air.
"I shouldn't really ask but, is there a really good reason why ya kinda look like us?" Allocenmon asked letting the other mega fly in the air beside him.
"It's a long story." Fatemon replied in a tight voice. "Thank you for saving us, Allocenmon."
"Uh, ya welcome I guess-shit!" Allocenmon hadn't watched where he was flying and almost ran into an attack by Azazel. Luckily, Fatemon knocked it back with their 'Destiny Blade'.
"Looks like we returned the favour." Fatemon grinned.
"Yeah, thanks." rumbled Allocenmon and flew back into battle.
Kashimon aimed her attack right at the peaking horn that Azazel was trying to hide with his long back hair. Her body tightened, and she let out a puff of air. The shot was clean, and it struck Azazel in his white nub of a horn. It shattered making Azazel release another wave of dark energy. This time, Sakyuamon MM held a shield protecting everyone behind her.
"Good job, Sakyuamon!" called out Gallantmon CM. Everyone was getting excited. Was this it?
"No!" whined Azazel. He felt the power of Lindenmon and Beelzemon slowly bleed out of him. The data just...fell out of him as if it was tired of being a part of him. Like it knew where it had to go, the respective data went into Kashimon and Allocenmon. It felt uncomfortable for the both of them to load it back into themselves but, in seconds it was settled. The two had their mega forms back.
"That feels so much better." Lindy's voice sighed. That empty space within her was now filled. The same went for Impmon.
Everyone cornered Azazel who looked like he went through a war zone. His clothes were ripped apart, data flickered around him and cracks were prominent on his face-like he was made of porcelain. Underneath was unstable digi-code.
"So, he's a program..." muttered Fatemon, widening their eyes. This explained a lot...
"I'-I-I'm not just a p-progra-program!" giltched Azazel shouted. He made several portals appear in the air, leading into other realities and dimensions. Some looked dark and bleak, while others looked like carbon copies of the digital world. "I-I am A-Aaz-Azazel, master of re-realities! One of the Ancient Ones of ENIAC!" With each word, Azazel glitched out more and more. He threw back his head and let out a cry that pierced everyone's ears. Everyone braced themselves as dark waves of power unleashed itself and swirled around the group. It was like a storm of darkness! Lightening shattered the ground, and blinded the group occasionally from the startling contrast of light and dark bursts.
Gallantmon CM and Allocenmon felt themselves lose their ability to fly and fell down. Crying out, the knight grabbed the demon digimon's 'hand'.
"I got you!"
"Don't let go!" Allocenmon called out. They managed to land unharmed and Allocenmon reached out a hand, panicked. He felt two of Kashimon's hands. He gripped one with his large black claw.
"Hold on, Allocenmon!" Kashimon cried.
"Kashimon!" the demon mega gritted his teeth in pain.
"Everyone else-grab on!" Kashimon reached out and clasped with Sakyuamon MM's hand with her other two hands.
Everyone did the same and held on tightly. Even MegaGargomon XM held on tightly to Suzie and Kokomon. Azazel was draining them completely with his power. Slowly, they felt their data start to crumble. The fuzzy light feeling was all anyone could feel. If anyone could look into the battle, they would see all their forms flicker between their forms and the individuals that made them up.
"GIVE UP!" roared Azazel.
"NEVER!" Everyone else screamed, clenching their teeth and sewing their eyes shut. They would rather die than give Azazel what he wanted. They were all hanging on by threads, clinging on to the tiniest ounce of energy they had left.
"No!" CalvisAngemon cried reaching an arm out, but Lucemon CM and Alphamon stopped him.
"There's no point going in there! It's going to delete us!" Lucemon CM warned.
"Let's get an attack ready on Azazel with that Witchmon and Wizardmon." Alphamon ordered, preparing to gather the little group that was left.
Then, when all hope seemed lost, the dark storm stopped completely. Everyone couldn't believe they survived the attack and felt data return to their bodies. It was too close of a call-anything else would destroy them. Looking up, Azazel was held locked in place by a floating figure with piercing blue eyes.
"No, Azazel." Naomi spoke, making her appearance.
Everyone looked at the dark skinned Ancient One. With her was a small child with flaming red hair, a large stocky man, and a very familiar rhyming old man with bright pink eyes.
"Domovoi!" cried Gallantmon CM, MegaGargomon XM, and Sakyuamon MM.
"Hello my friends, it is a pleasant surprise, to see each and you very well and alive." Domovoi took a deep bow.
"Did he just rhyme?" Allocenmon asked leaning in to Kashimon. She shrugged, holding her injured arm where the demon's claw gripped her. He squeezed it a little too tight.
"N-No! I will not be sto-stopped!" Azazel choked out the last part. He looked more unstable by the minute. Naomi nodded to the others and they circled around him. Lifting their arms in the air they started to chant and slowly Azazel started to become numb. He whimpered pathetically to Naomi,
"Darling, what have I done wrong? I was so bored. I had to make things interesting. "
Naomi curled her lip.
"That is the problem. You meddled too much in these worlds and caused so many issues. You need to be locked away."
The circle underneath Azazel shot up, revealing bars of code. Four walls enclosed him like a cage-trapping him. The cage lifted up, and started to travel through a portal.
"I'll come back! I'll have my revenge!" Azazel screamed. He bashed into the cage, but it was useless. He disappeared into the mysterious portal and just like that, Azazel had been trapped and defeated.
Author's Note: A long time ago, I was wondering if Impmon and Lindy would have a biomerged form. I put it down because they had their mega forms already and there wasn't enough time in the stories. So, when I got the opportunity to write Shattered Light, first thing I did was prepare their biomerged mega forms! If you want to see them, check out my Deviant account under the name Linkmaste. I kept it a secret for SO. DAMN. LONG. But, I did sprinkle hints along the way starting from the tournament, then to the prophecy, then to that conversation Lindy had with them at the house-so, maybe some of you figured it out. But, I like to think I held that card for a surprise.
Kashimon is based off the deer shrine lore in Japan. That is why I made her appearance based off of a deer. Also, I was inspired from Opal from Steven Universe. No wings, but a sick ass bow. Katniss has got nothing on her!
Allocenmon is based off a fallen angel who is the duke of hell. I made him more primal and kind of grungy. Sort of like he was a Royal Knight and got changed into a demon.
Another reason was that Ai and Mako couldn't biomerge with the two until they completely understood each other. Also, I personally feel there has to be a certain realization in the Tamer before they could even biomerge. In the series, they all had it and it was a favourite moment of mine.
Fatemon isn't owned by me-that is BookWormGal's creation. Look at my Deviant account for a picture of him too!
So, HOWS THAT FOR A FINAL BATTLE!? We're not done yet! Stay tuned for next week!
