I've been planning this chapter for a long time so please review and let me know what you think.
Digimon World Wars
Chapter 19 - The Fused Dragon
Hawkeye stepped up beside MetalTyrannomon, "Take care of the blue digimon, I'll handle the kid."
MetalTyrannomon charged forward on command, stomping towards Duo and ExVeemon.
"I'm not scared of you!" ExVeemon jumped into the air, meeting MetalTyrannomon head on.
Duo, "ExVeemon, WAIT!"
"HEART BREAKER!" ExVeemon's fist smashed against MetalTyrannomon's head, but the dinosaur didn't even flinch and continued charging forward ramming its head against ExVeemon.
ExVeemon stumbled back and crossed his arms across his chest, readying his 'vee laser' attack.
"EXVEEMON, LOOK OUT!" MetalTyrannomon's giant metal claw swung through the air and smashed into ExVeemon's side, knocking the dragon out of the air and sending him crashing against the earth.
"EXVEEMON," Duo rushed to his partner's side but was stopped when a blade swung through the air towards him, he quickly stopped himself and jumped back as the blade passed just inches from his head.
Hawkeye stood in front of Duo blocking his path, a look of boredom on his face.
Duo, "Get out of my way!"
Hawkeye, "Sorry, you'll have to make me."
"FINE, DRAGON SPLITTER BARRAGE!" Duo slashed his sword through the air in rapid succession, firing off eight smaller black energy slashes.
Hawkeye's eyes remained bored as he parried all eight shots with his twin blades with ease. As he deflected the last blast, Duo winded up for a bigger shot.
"DRAGON SPLITTER!" Hawkeye dodged to the side as the bigger blast came at him, barely escaping its path.
Duo took the opportunity to rush the man, swinging his sword horizontally through the air. Hawkeye spun towards him and blocked Duo's sword with both his blades. The two pushed against each other, their blades holding strong.
"What's the matter boy, is this all you got?" Asked Hawkeye lazily. Duo gritted his teeth, and forced his digisoul into his hand, trying to force Hawkeye back, but the man still didn't budge.
Hawkeye yawned as be brought his foot up, kicking Duo in the chest. Duo yelled in pain, as Hawkeye's attack brought all his previous injuries back, knocking him flat on his back.
"What's wrong?" Hawkeye stepped over and stomped on Duo's chest, Duo screamed in agony as he felt his already fractured ribs giving way, "Seems you ran into battle while you were already injured, not very smart if you ask me."
"DUO!" ExVeemon flew at the man, trying to free Duo.
"NUCLEAR LASER!" MetalTyrannomon aimed one of its arms forward and fired a large blast of energy. ExVeemon yelled in pain, as the attack grazed his arm, causing him to crash against the ground again.
Hawkeye, "That wasn't very smart of your partner."
Duo reached his hand out and found the handle of his sword next to him. Swinging it up at the man while he was looking at ExVeemon. Hawkeye jumped back as Duo's sword grazed his cheek. The look of boredom on Hawkeye's face was gone.
Duo raised himself back to his feet with difficulty, "EXVEEMON, YOU ALRIGHT!" ExVeemon stumbled back to his feet, his left arm hung limply at his side, blood was pouring down across his arm and splashing around his feet.
"Don't worry about me, I won't be beaten by this damn prehistoric junk heap!" ExVeemon jumped in the air again crossing his one good arm across his chest, "VEE LASER!"
The attack hit MetalTyrannomon in the chest and the ultimate digimon was forced a step back, but when the attack ended MetalTyrannomon had taken no damage.
Duo, "Damn it, there's got to be a weak point!"
"I'm afraid, you don't have time to be thinking about that right now!" Duo turned his head as Hawkeye's swords came at him. Duo ducked under one blade, and parried the second with his sword, but was unprepared for a third strike. Hawkeye's foot came up striking him in the chest again, Duo yelled in pain, as he was knocked off his feet again.
Once again Hawkeye was standing over him, this time Hawkeye kicked Duo's sword away, once the blade got far enough away from Duo it changed back into his digivice.
Hawkeye held one of his blades to Duo's throat, "Sorry 'Duo' this is where your journey ends."
ExVeemon, "DUO!"
Duo saw the blade coming at him in slow motion, 'Damn it all, it can't end here.'

"ELECTRO THREAD!" Hawkeye yelled in pain as electricity suddenly ran through him.
Duo turned his head and saw Kunemon tackle Hawkeye. The little boy Leon suddenly rushed to his side, "You alright mister?"
"Thanks kid, but you have to get out of here, now!" Duo lifted himself up to his hands and knees, even breathing hurt at this point. Leon handed Duo back his digivice and Duo nodded thanks to him.
"GIGA DESTROYER!" Duo's head turned towards his partner as MetalTyrannomon fired a missile at him.
"EXVEEMON LOOK OUT!" ExVeemon jumped away as the missile exploded where he had stood. The force of the blast knocked ExVeemon back into a tree and he fell on his back unconscious. Duo held onto Leon as the missile's shockwave came at them, keeping the boy from being knocked flat.
"EXVEEMON!" ExVeemon wasn't moving and MetalTyrannomon was advancing on the downed dragon. "Get back to your grandmother, hurry!" Duo jumped to his feet, in an attempt to get to his partner, but was stopped when the sound of a gunshot sounded nearby.
Duo's heart skipped a beat, as he turned towards Leon, scared to death for the little boy. However Leon was looking at Hawkeye, Duo turned towards the man as the little boy's voice sounded through the night, "KUNEMON!"
Kunemon was lying on the ground at Hawkeye's feet, a pool of blood forming around the digimon.
Hawkeye rushed at Duo again, "DIGITIZE, KUR-!"
Duo was cut short as Hawkeye's blade slashed across his chest, cutting into him. Blood poured from Duo's chest as he fell to his knees, desperately trying to stay conscious. Duo fought through the pain, desperate to stay awake, desperate to save everyone.
"I already told you, I can't let you live," stated Hawkeye simply.
"Kunemon! Kunemon!" Leon ran to the bug's side crying his eyes out.
Duo's eyes turned towards MetalTyrannomon who was standing over ExVeemon, pointing his laser arm down on him.
"SCISSOR CLAW!" Kuwagamon rushed through the trees followed by the old woman. He gripped MetalTyrannomon's arm forcing him to point it off into the distance away from ExVeemon.
Duo sighed inwardly in relief, his partner was still alive. He could still hear Leon crying for Kunemon, and it was breaking his heart.
"I'll finish you first, farewell," Hawkeye swung his sword down. Duo reacted instantly catching the blade with his bare hand and shocking Hawkeye. Duo's hand bled as his arm began to burn with his digisoul, he gripped the blade tighter and tighter until finally, it shattered in his hand.
"I CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE!" Duo's digisoul suddenly burst around his other arm as he slammed it into Hawkeye's chest. He brought back his other arm landing a second blow, then a third blow, Duo punched Hawkeye over and over with his digisoul covered arms, finally delivering a final hit to Hawkeye's face, sending the man toppling back.
Duo turned towards his unconscious partner, and shouted for him, "EXVEEMON, STAND UP!"
ExVeemon's eyes shot open and he slowly climbed back to his feet. MetalTyrannomon swung his other arm around, knocking Kuwagamon off of him. Kuwagamon landed next to ExVeemon and the two digimon prepared to tackle MetalTyrannomon two on one.
Duo walked over to the boy, ignoring the massive amount of pain he was in, and picked Leon and Kunemon up, taking them to his grandmother. The boy cried into his grandmothers arms, and didn't notice Kunemon starting to twitch.
"Leon."
The boy turned around and looked at the little bug, as he struggled to roll over on to his little legs. "KUNEMON!" Leon flung his arms around the digimon who gasped in pain.
"Leon, please not so tight, I'm still sore."
Duo turned back to the battle, slowly making his way back to ExVeemon.
"HEART BREAKER!"
"SCISSOR CLAW!" ExVeemon's fist slammed into MetalTyrannomon's chin raising his head back. Kuwagamon took the opportunity to try to wrap his mandibles around the dinosaurs neck, but was stopped when MetalTyrannomon swung one of its arms through the air knocking him and ExVeemon out of the air.
Duo kept stumbling towards the battle until he found his path blocked once again by Hawkeye. Duo's digisoul covered both his fists as he waited for the man to attack.
Hawkeye made no attempt to attack though, he started coughing hard and covered his mouth as he started to cough up blood.
"Sorry, I'm in no shape to continue fighting you myself, your last attack really messed me up," Hawkeye sheathed his sword. "I know you're not doing any better yourself, so how about we leave our battle up to the digimon, let them decide who the winner is here."
"I thought you had orders to eliminate me?"
"Yeah, but I'm not stupid enough to risk throwing my own life away for those orders, see ya." Hawkeye stumbled away, leaving Duo to watch the battle.
"VEE LASER!" MetalTyrannomon held up his hand blocking ExVeemon's attack.
"NUCLEAR LASER!" MetalTyrannomon's attack blasted through ExVeemon's hitting him head on.
ExVeemon screamed in pain as he was blasted by the attack.
"EXVEEMON!" Duo watched as his partner fell to the ground, his body covered in blood and burn wounds.
"Damn you!" Kuwagamon charged at MetalTyrannomon.
"KUWAGAMON WATCH OUT!" Shouted the old woman. Kuwagamon failed to notice MetalTyrannomon's arm reaching for him, the dinosaur grabbed Kuwagamon between his claws, holding the insect still.
"LET HIM GO!" Shouted ExVeemon trying to lift himself back up only to fall flat on his back again.
"GIGA DESTROYER!" MetalTyrannomon released Kuwagamon, firing the missile from his arm point-blank at him. The missile collided into Kuwagamon's chest carrying him away before exploding.
"KUWAGAMON!" Kuwagamon crashed against the earth bloodied and burned, one of his wings had been blown off and one of his mandibles had cracked. The old woman, along with her grandson rushed towards the insect.
"Kuwagamon speak to me!" The insect digimon coughed before barely raising his head.
ExVeemon forced himself back to his feet, his body shaking from the amount of pain he was in. "Damn it, I can't let this go on!"
Duo tried to move towards his partner but fell to his knees. 'Damn it, what do we do, if we don't defeat MetalTyrannomon we'll never be able to reach Rex and the others, but there's no way ExVeemon can win like this. GOD DAMN IT ALL!'
"Sayo." Kuwagamon lifted his head towards the women. "The time I spent with you was the happiest time of my life."
"What are you talking about, it doesn't have to end, we've been together since I was just a little girl."
Kuwagamon turned to face the battle as ExVeemon charged once again at MetalTyrannomon.
"HEART BRE- RAGH!" ExVeemon was swatted out of the air once again with ease, crashing into the ground on his back.
"He can't win, he needs more power," Kuwagamon lifted himself up to his feet. "Forgive me Sayo."
"I'm going too," Kunemon jumped on Kuwagamon's head.
"Kunemon, Kuwagamon where are you going?" Asked Leon.
Kunemon and Kuwagamon turned away from the boy unable to answer.
Kuwagamon, "Let's go."
The two insect digimon charged forward.
"EXVEEMON!" Duo desperately tried to get to his partner but the pain was too great for him to stay on his feet. "EXVEEMON MOVE!"
MetalTyrannomon stepped forward aiming his laser arm down on ExVeemon. "NUCLEAR LASER!" ExVeemon watched the blast come at him, waiting for the moment when it would hit him and he would cease to live.
Duo, "EXVEEMON!"
Duo and ExVeemon both suddenly saw someone jump in front of the attack. Both their eyes widened as the attack smashed into Kuwagamon and Kunemon.
The two insects screamed in pain as the attack slowly destroyed them.
Sayo, "KUWAGAMON!"
Leon, "KUNEMON!"
The two digimon's voices became silent as their bodies began to disintegrate.
Leon began to cry uncontrollably and his grandmother hugged the boy tight, tears running down her eyes as well.
"Why, why did they do it?" Duo punched his fist against the ground and his digisoul flared around it on its own.
ExVeemon laid on the ground shocked at what had happened to the two digimon.
'ExVeemon!' His mind came back to reality as he heard Kuwagamon's voice calling to him from the bits of data floating through the air.
'Take our data, use it to beat him and save Sayo and Leon.'
"No, I can't do that, you won't be able to come back!"
MetalTyrannomon stomped his way up towards ExVeemon.
'Please, it's the only way!' The data in the air began to circle around ExVeemon moving closer to him.
"No, don't do this, look at them, they need you! You can't leave them!"
'This is the only way, to make sure that they get to live on. Please let them know that we are sorry.'
The data moved in closer as MetalTyrannomon lifted his foot over ExVeemon. Duo watched unable to think clearly, he could also hear Kuwagamon's voice. 'No, not like this, I don't want to gain power like this.'
"NO, DON'T DO IT, PLEASE!" The data merged into ExVeemon as he pleaded for it not to. Kuwagamon and Kunemon's presence faded away as MetalTyrannomon's foot came down on ExVeemon.
"EXVEEMON!" Duo's digisoul expanded up his arm as he watched MetalTyrannomon's foot press against his partner, but the dinosaurs foot seemed unable to come down all the way.
"NOOOOOO!" ExVeemon held up MetalTyrannomon's foot with his arms slowly pushing the ultimate level digimon back as he lifted himself up to his feet. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, METALTYRANNOMON!"
ExVeemon held back the dinosaurs foot as Sayo approached Duo.
"I'm sorry, I never wanted this," Duo's body was shaking, he couldn't stand the idea that someone else had died because he wasn't strong enough. He could still hear Leon crying and he felt it was all his fault.
"It doesn't matter whether or not you wanted it, they sacrificed themselves to help you beat this monster," said Sayo, tears still running down her face, her voice was cracking as she spoke. "Young man, I will never forgive you if you let their sacrifice be in vain!"
Something clicked inside Duo's head at her words and he raised himself back to his feet, gripping his digivice tight.
ExVeemon roared as he pushed MetalTyrannomon back, with one last strong heave he threw the dinosaur back away from him, causing MetalTyrannomon to fall on his back.
ExVeemon, "NO MORE, I DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO DIE!"
Duo's digisoul exploded around him, once again covering his entire body.
Duo and ExVeemon, "WE WILL PROTECT EVERYONE!"
=PERFECT EVOLUTION=
Duo: Digisoul, FULL CHARGE!
ExVeemon roared into the night as he felt the evolution begin, but this time there was no dead-end, he could feel his new form waiting for him and behind it stood Kuwagamon and Kunemon.
EXVEEMON! DIGIVOLVE TO -
PAILDRAMON!
Duo fell back to his knees, clutching his bleeding chest. He raised his head and stared at his partner, taking in his new appearance. Andromon had not lied when he said this form was meant to be a fusion of ExVeemon and Stingmon.
"MetalTyrannomon, I can't allow you to continue living like this," Paildramon stepped forward as the dinosaur lifted itself back to its feet.
"GIGA DESTROYER!" MetalTyrannomon pointed its arm forward once again firing the large missile. The attack came straight at Paildramon, who stood still waiting for his moment.
In a split second Paildramon sidestepped the missile, letting it pass by him, "CABLE CRUSHER!" Paildramon held one of his arms back, still staring at MetalTyrannomon. The claws on his hand fired towards the missile, connected back to his hand by wires. Paildramon had them wrap around the missile stopping it in its tracks.
"I believe this belongs to you!" Paildramon swung his arm forward, forcing the missile to turn around back to MetalTyrannomon. The attack exploded against the digimon's chest breaking apart some of its armor.
Paildramon took the opportunity, to charge at MetalTyrannomon while it was staggered.
"ESGRIMA!" The spike on Paildramon's wrist extended forth and he stabbed it into MetalTyrannomon's damaged chest. Blood poured from the wound as Paildramon grabbed one of his hip guns with his free hand, "DESPERADO BLASTER!"
Paildramon's attack fired into MetalTyrannomon point-blank, knocking the dinosaur on its back and damaging its chest even further.
"Get him Paildramon," whispered Duo.
Paildramon hovered above MetalTyrannomon as he struggled to get back to his feet.
"You have lost your soul, and are nothing more than a killing machine now," Paildramon took hold of both his guns aiming them down on the dinosaur. "I'll set you free! DESPERADO BLASTER!"
Paildramon's attack rained down on MetalTyrannomon, forcing the dinosaur flat on its back again. MetalTyrannomon roared and struggled to get away from the attack, but Paildramon kept his guns pointed at him, not letting him back up. The attack continued until finally MetalTyrannomon fell silent and his data began to disperse.
Paildramon let go of his guns as the bits of data floated around him.
He turned to Duo and flew down towards him, offering his clawed hand to him. Duo took hold of Paildramon and the digimon lifted him to his feet.
Duo, "Come on, we got to get the others!"
Paildramon, "Right, DATS can't stop us now!"
~To Be Continued~
Screaming on the inside
I am frail and withered
Cover up the wounds
That I can't hide
Walls that lie between us
The saint within the sinner
I have lost the nerve
But it's all right
Carry the wounded and shut your eyes
All will be forgiven
None will rise
Bury the fallen and lead the blind
I will find the lost
Dead inside
Into the nothing
Faded and weary
I won't leave and let you fall behind
Live for the dying
Heaven hear me
I know we can make it out alive
Into The Nothing by Breaking Benjamin

The first Ultimate is here! Once again please Review.
Notes:
Although the characters Leon and Sayo, have digimon with them, they do not have digivices and therefore are not chosen/destined.
In case anyone didn't know, the digivices in this story are the same one's from Digimon Savers/Data Squad. Each character's digivice color corresponds to the color of their digisoul.
In this story, digisoul is not only the means to help the digimon digivolve, it also empowers the person who wields it. The stronger the digisoul the stronger that person becomes.
