Chapter 12
The Battle Begins
"We gotta find a way out of here," Takuya said. "Kouji needs our help!"
"I know, but we don't really have a way of untying this rope, now do we?" Izumi said sarcastically.
"Actually, we do," Takuya said. "Execute!" he yelled. His D-tector rose up out of his pocket and allowed him to spirit evolve to Agunimon. As he grew in size the rope tied around his wrists and ankles broke. "Yeah, beat that Izumi!"
He rushed to untie everyone else in time to see Kouji through the window crashing to the ground in a pile of fur.
"Come on," Kouichi said pulling out his D-tector. "Execute spirit evolution!" He said, turning into Lowemon.
The others followed.
"Come on guys," Taichi said to their Digimon partners.
"Agumon digivolve to – Greymon."
"Palmon digivolve to – Togemon!"
"Gabumon digivolve to – Garurumon!"
"Biyomon digivolve to – Birdramon!"
"Tentomon divivolve to – Kabuterimon!"
"Gomamon digivolve to – Ikkakumon!"
"Patamon digivolve to – Angemon!"
"Gatomon digivovle to – Angewomon!"
The Digi-destined and their partners rushed into battle.
"Pyro Tornado!"
"Nova Blast!"
The two fire attacks slammed into Icedevimon, sending him flying back into a tree.
"This is so much easier than last time," Takuya said.
"That's because this Icedevimon didn't go on a rampage through the Digital World.
"Quick Kouichi, get Kouji out of here before Icedevimon cames back," Agunimon ordered, and the Warrior of Darkness did as he was told, rushing over to his brother and lifting him up off of the ground, but was amazed at what he saw; his brother was no longer a Digimon, but the human boy he was the day they arrived in Highton View Terrace.
Lowemon quickly got over his shock and took his brother inside and put him down gently on the couch.
Lowemon ran back outside just in time to see Icedevimon walking toward the group slowly.
"Shadow Lance!" the Warrior of Darkness said, charging toward the staggering Icedevimon and stabbing his lance in the monsters stomach, but Icedevimon just laughed at it.
"You think that is power?" he snorted. "That felt more like you were trying to make me laugh!"
"Meteor Wing!" the fire attack from Birdramons wings crashed into Icedevimon, doing a good deal of damage.
"Everyone, fire attacks seem to do the most damage, so we'll just handle this battle," Agunimon said. "You guys save your energy for when we battle Myotismon."
The other Digi-destined nodded and de-digivolved back into their human forms.
"Pyro Darts!" the Warrior of Fire said throwing darts from his gauntlets.
"Nova Blaster!"
"Meteor Wing!"
The attacks flew into Icedevimon, sending him back into a wood fence.
"Now to finish it off… Slide Evolution, Burninggreymon!"
"Whoa, what is that?" Taichi asked.
"It's Burninggreymon," Kouichi said. "He's the Beast Spirit of Fire."
"Wild Fire Tsunami!" the Beast yelled, sending a tsunami of fire at Icedevimon.
Icedevimon howled in pain as the fire burned him up. "I'm melting!" he yelled.
"Slide Evolution, Agunimon. Time to go back to the egg," Agunimon said. "Fractal Code digitize." The Warrior of Fire waved his D-tector and absorbed the Digimons data, but with nowhere for the egg to go, it just vanished into thin air.
Takuya de-digivolved back into his human form and fell on his knees in exhaustion.
Taichi ran over to help him up. "That was awesome!"
"Gee, you think?" Takuya said rhetorically.
"So now that Myotismon knows we're here I guess theres no point in staying," Junpei said.
"But where can we go without being seen with Digimon? I mean, it'd be easy to hide our little ones, but Strabimon is too big."
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Kouichi said. "Kouji turned back during the battle with Icedevimon."
"Oh, well that makes this so much easier," Taichi said.
"Yeah Kouichi, thanks for telling us sooner," Takuya joked.
"Well if you didn't notice; we were in the middle of a battle," Kouichi said in his own defence.
They went inside and started planning where they would go next.
Kouji opened his eyes and looked around. It all seemed normal, but why hadn't he died from that fall? He wanted to know what the stuff he landed on was. He put his hand on his head where his pointy wolf ears were; just to find out if they were still there. But to his surprise, they were gone.
He looked at his body; just to be sure, and sure enough he was human again.
He jumped up with joy, and would've started doing some kind of happy dance if he hadn't seen the other Digi-destined in the next room over through the open doorway.
He walked in to join the others, trying to hide the huge smile on his face.
"Well, nice to see you're finally up," Izumi said.
"So, how does it feel to be human again?" Kouichi asked.
Kouji gave him a look. "Do you seriously expect me to answer that?"
Kouichi laughed, "No, I just thought I'd ask."
Kouji took a seat on the couch next to his brother, and they decided to sneak over to the old country house they had found online, and hide there until they could make a better plan.
"We'll just have to wait until Dad gets home," Jou said. "He might even be able to drive us."
"That might not be to smart, because if Myotismon sees the car, he would be able to find us; and even if he didn't, he could still send some of his minions to attack your family and find out where we are," Yamato said.
"Yeah, so we might have to just leave a note, because Myotismon is most likely expecting us to go somewhere else, and he might not bother trying to get where we are out of Jous family if he doesn't know that they know," Taichi said.
"Ok," Jou agreed. "But we'll just have to hope that Dad doesn't come looking for us."
"We can tell him not to," Mimi said. "He could listen, or he could not. But we should let him know it'd be better for the world if he didn't."
They write a note for Mr. Kido and headed out, only staying in well-populated areas so they could blend in with the other people and nobody would be able to spot them.
"The house should be up ahead," Koushiro said, pointing to a small outline of a house on the horizon.
They ran to the house and found it was still standing, but the door was knocked off of its hinges.
The house was burnt up and had little color to it from the flames that had attacked it months earlier, but it still stood and was a good shelter.
"So now what, we just sit here and wait for Myotismon to come and destroy us?" Kouji asked.
"No, we make a plan and hope it works when we fight him," Taichi said before turning to Takuya. "How did you deal with this guy for so long?"
"You get used to it after a while," Takuya replied smiling.
"So do we just attack all at once or something?" Izumi asked. "That worked for us in the past."
"It might work in other battles, but Myotismon is much different than anyone you've ever fought; he is a vampire Digimon, and he seems pretty weak, but he once took over the whole city and almost ate our parents and killed Kari," Taichi explained.
"He eats people?" Tomoki asked shivering.
"Just like in the movies," Junpei said.
"Not really, cause in the movies the heroes don't normally end up being monsters from the computer," Jou laughed.
"Well how did you beet Myotismon the first time?" Kouichi asked.
"Well, Gatomon digivolved to Angewomon and everyone gave her their attacks and she shot him with an arrow, but then he digivolved into Venommyotismon, and Yamato and I had to get shot with arrows from Angemon and Angewomon and Agumon and Gabumon were able to digivolve," Taichi said. "And then all of our digi-vices lite up and we used them to tie VenomMyotismon down, and we defeated him."
"So can't you just do that and defeat him again?" Izumi asked.
"Yeah, that'd save us a lot of trouble," Kouji added.
Taichi was ready to slap him, but Takuya grabbed the goggle-heads wrist and shook his head.
"I think I liked you better as a Digimon," Taichi said.
Takuya, Junpei, Izumi, and Tomoki couldn't help but laugh in agreement.
"Can you stop your dumb laughter and get back on topic?" Kouji said, getting more annoyed.
The four Digi-destined stopped and stood up straight.
"Well, we would do it like that, but we're not sure if he has gotten more powerful or not," Yamato said. "So we may need your help."
Izumi nodded, "Ophanimon did said that we had to defeat the trouble here before we could return to our time period, so it looks like we'll have to help."
"You're right, so looks like you guys are stuck with us for now," Takuya said.
"Well we're glad to have your help," Takeru said.
"But how are we going to win this battle if we don't even know how powerful he is?" Junpei asked.
"That's why this is going to be hard to figure out how much power he has. He is weakened in the sun, but he makes a fog field around him to prevent that, so if we can stop his fog, we can have the upper hand," Taichi said.
Izumi cleared her throat, "I happen to be the Warrior of Wind; so maybe I could blow the fog away while you guys attack him."
"That could work, but what if he attacks you?" Sora asked. "We'd need a backup plan."
"If Izumi gets attacked we could just pull out our trump card and have Kouji and Takky Unified Spirit Evolve into EmperorGreymon and Magnagarurumon," Junpei suggested.
"And I could always freeze him and buy us some more time," Mindy said.
"So I think we have a plan," Taichi said.
"Yeah, so let's go find the creep and defeat him!" Takuya said.
"Wait, shouldn't we rest first?" Kouji asked. "I mean, after that battle against Icedevimon we need to have all of our strength."
"Well we've been resting for a while, if you haven't forgot you were knocked unconscious during that battle, so how do you even know how long we were waiting after the battle," Takuya argued. "And no one has seen Bokomon, Neemon, or Kelly, so shouldn't we be trying to get back to the Digital World as soon as possible to find them?"
"Fine, we'll do it your way and most likely get beat because we're too exhausted to fight," Kouji said.
"Has he ever been this bad?" Taichi whispered to Takuya.
"Worse," Takuya whispered back, and the two boys laughed.
They left the burnt house in search of where Myotismon might be hiding, but didn't search long before it grew foggy and dark around them.
"I think he's here," Takeru said, holding on tightly to Kari. "Don't worry Kari, I'll protect you."
Kari shivered at the thought of the Vampire Digimon still being alive, and thought of everything he did to her, Gatomon, and Wizardmon.
"Well, I see you've finally decided to come out and play with me," the Digimon said as a tall dark figure appeared in the fog.
"Whoa, EdwardCullenmon," Mindy said as the vampire stepped into view.
"Edwardwhomon?" Jou asked.
"Edward Cullen," Mindy replied. "Don't tell me you've never heard of Twilight!"
"Uh, Mindy," Izumi said. "I don't think Twilight has come out yet."
"What?! No Twilight?" Mindy exclaimed. "That's just terrible!"
"Uh, can we get on with your destruction now?" Myotismon asked.
"Oh, yeah, go ahead," Mindy replied.
The Frontier gang all pulled out their D-tectors. "Execute!" everyone but Kouji and Takuya yelled. "Beast Spirit evolution!"
Kouji and Takuya nodded to each other, "Execute, fusion evolution!" the 2 boys yelled, turning into Beowulfmon and Aldamon.
"Now guys," Taichi called to the Digimon partners.
"Palmon digivolve to – Togemon!"
"Biyomon digivolve to – Birdramon!"
"Gomamon digivolve to – Ikkakumon!"
"Patamon digivolve to – Angemon!"
"Tentomon digivolve to – Kabuterimon!"
"Agumon digivolve to – Greymon!"
"Gabumon digivolve to – Garurumon!"
The Digimon leapt into action.
"Hurricane Gale!" the black fog blew away, weakening Myotismon faster than they thought it would
"Now, attack!" Taichi called.
"Nova Blaster!"
"Howling Blaster!"
"Needle Spray!"
"Electro Shocker!"
"Lightning Paw!"
"Hand of Fate!"
"Meteor Wing!"
"Harpoon Torpedo!"
"Ticking Doom!"
"Frozen Hunter!"
"Bolo Thunder!"
"Avalanche Axes!"
"Atomic Inferno!"
"Plasma Paws!"
"Ebony Blast!"
Smoke rose up around Myotismon when the attacks hit him.
"That definitely got him!" Aldamon said.
"I don't think so," I voice said behind him. "Crimson Lightning!" the red lightning whips slashed around, hitting each of the Digimon. "Pathetic," Myotismon said laughing.
The fog came back, and everything got pitch black.
"Feel my power!" Myotismon yelled. "Grisly Wing!" the bats flew the fallen Digimon, nibbling at them.
"You gotta get up!" Taichi yelled.
"Yeah, you'll be destroyed for sure!" Yamato called.
"If only we had our crests, maybe we could stand a chance," Sora said.
"We gotta keep trying anyway," Takeru said.
"I wish it wasn't so dark," Hikari said.
"There's got to be someway we can win, but how?" Koushiro asked.
"At least I'll look good when I die… I hope," Mimi said.
"This can't be the end… I won't allow it!" Jou yelled, running into the dark fog and getting attacked by the bats.
"Jou!" everyone called after him, but he was already gone.
"I'm not going to let you hurt my friends!" Jou yelled, falling to his knees in pain. "They… have to… rely on me…"
A rectangular shape came down from the sky, breaking through the smoke. "It's… my crest!" Jou exclaimed. "Ikkakumon, digivolve!"
"Right, Ikkakumon digivolve to – Zudomon!"
Zudomon rose out of the fog, atleast 10 feet above it.
"It's Zudomon!" Taichi yelled.
"I have an idea," Takeru said. "I hope you can do it Zudomon! I know you can!"
Another crest came down, but this time in front of Takeru. "It worked! I got my crest! Angemon!"
"Angemon digivolve to – MangaAngemon!" the Angel Digimon grew and flew above the smoke to Takeru.
"Angemon, you digivolved again," Takeru said.
"I think Takeru is on to something," Taichi said, rushing into the smoke toward Myotismon. "Why don't you fight you coward?"
"Coward?" Myotismon asked.
"Yeah, using your little bats to do all of the fighting for you while you just sit back and watch; that sure seems like a coward to me!"
Myotismon snarled, "We'll just see who the coward is! Crimson lightning!" the lightning flew toward Taichi, but he jumped out of the way before it got close to hitting him.
Another crest fell from above the smoke with the symbol of Courage on it.
"Yeah," Taichi said. "Greymon, digivolve!"
"Of course, Greymon digivolve to – MetalGreymon!"
Taichi quickly ran out of the smoke and back to his sister and friends.
"Oh no, Jou is still in there!" Yamato said, running toward the black fog. He ran in and found Jou on the ground with little cuts on his arms and legs from the bats. "Jou!" the boy lifted his friend on his back and got him out of the fog, and when he got back also got his crest of friendship back. "Garurumon!"
"Right, Garurumon digivolve to – Weregarurumon!"
"Sora, I just realized how nice you look in that hat!" Mimi exclaimed. A crest also dropped down in front of her. "Hey, I didn't think that would happen!"
"Togemon digivolve to – Lillymon!"
"Oh, I wish it wouldn't be so dark right now," Hikari sighed, and there was a big light and the fog was gone, and a crest also fell down to her.
"Gatomon digivolve to – Angewomon!"
"It seems that every time one of us does something that relates to the crest that we had before, our crest comes back," Koushiro pointed out. His crest also then fell down to him.
"Kabuterimon digivolve to – MegaKabuterimon!"
"Your crests!" Myotismon exclaimed. "But that's impossible; they were destroyed!"
The other Digi-destined stood up and joined the other Digimon. They all de-digivolved and gave their spirits to Kouji and Takuya, allowing them to digivolve to EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon.
Myotismon stood surrounded by the Digimon, but he didn't seem worried at all once his black fog came back. "Well then, let the games begin."
To be continued!!!
Yeah, with the whole "Sore, that hat looks so good on you" thing… I couldn't think of something sincere for Mimi to say, so I just did that. And also, I'm not a Twilight fan, but I will admit that Edward does not look ANYTHING like Myotismon, but my friend who made up Mindy likes Twilight, so I decided to bring back some kind of funny/dumb thing for Mindy to say. Well, please review, and I will try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible ^_^
