The Greatest Sacrifice
"NightmareMyotismon," Izzy began his explanation. "Born from the ultimate darkness as well as the remnant data of all the evil digimon that we had destroyed such as the Dark Masters. Although he may look like a slightly different version of the Ultimate level Myotismon, he is much more powerful.
So far he's shown off only five attacks; Twilight Wing, which is a powered version of Grisly Wing. Bloody Lightning, which is a powered version of Crimson Lightning. Nightmare Wrath, where he creates giant bats that shoot streams of dark energy and has the ability to explode on impact. Soul Destroyer, he shoots out dark energy waves from his hand. And Endless Abyss, where he gathers dark energy into a ball and throws it."
"Matt," Tai smiled at his friend. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Matt smiled back.
"WARGREYMON!"
"METALGARURUMON!"
The two Megas stood up and glowed. "WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon DNA digivoled to… Omnimon!"
"Oh?" N.Myotismon stopped walking and stared at the fused Mega digimon. "It looks like I actually have to fly against this one." With a light chuckle, he floats upwards, dark energy begins to cover his hands. "Soul Destroyer!" Dark energy flies from his hands towards Omnimon, who dodged the attack and charged in. The two Mega digimon battle it out in the sky.
"Sora," Garudamon speaks to her partner. "Let us give our power to Imperialdramon."
Sora thought for a moment, "But if something goes wrong."
"If we give it all we have," Matt turned back to her as Tai was still cheering on Omnimon. "Then nothing can go wrong."
"Whatever you say Matt," Sora smiled and nodded. "Go for it guys!"
Tai's cheering suddenly got quieter for a second before it picked up again. The other digimon of the digidestined de-digivoled and gave their power to Imperialdramon, who repaired itself and flies up to join the fight.
Sora was the only one that noticed Tai's short volume change. But ruled it out as something from her imagination.
"Twilight Wing!"
"Supreme Cannon!"
"Nightmare Wrath!"
"Positron Laser!"
"Endless Abyss!"
The battle continued as the 3 Mega digimon dish out damage not only to each other, but to the surrounding environment as well. The digidestined can only watch and cheer on as their strongest digimon take on the greatest evil they've faced yet.
"This is taking too long," Omnimon pointed out to Imperialdramon. "I don't know how much longer we can last like this without putting everyone else in the line of fire."
"I agree," the dragon digimon replied. "It's to time show him our true power."
Omnimon glowed and sent his power to Imperialdramon, who transformed into Imperialdramon Paladin Mode. NightmareMyotismon halted his attack as his new opponent raised his sword into the air. Tai and Matt grabbed their rookie digimon as they fell and they all watched as Imperialdramon's Omni Sword glowed bright. N.Myotismon shielded his eyes from the brightness.
"Omni Sword!" the shining dragon digimon charges towards the vampire, ready to swing.
"Bloody Lightning!" Myotismon creates his two streams of blood colored energy and blocks the sword swing. They clash several times again as they dodge, parry and attack in the sky. The digidestined can do nothing but cheer on and watch.
"I think it's time that I end this game," Myotismon smiled. He wrapped his blood colored energy around the Omni Sword and pulled. Imperialdramon tried pulling back. "I've got you now!" Myotismon yanked on his Bloody Lightning, dragging Imperialdramon dangerously towards him. "Twilight Wing!" At such close distance, the attack hits with massive force.
"Imperialdramon!" Davis cries out. The other digidestined continue to cheer on.
"Annoying children," Myotismon turns his attention towards the digidestined. "Nightmare Wrath!" Four bats emerge and fly towards the digidestined.
The cheering stops and the rookies launch their attacks to try and stop the bats. The bats fire their lasers and intercept all of their projectiles. Imperialdramon flies between the bats and the children, taking all the damage himself.
"Soul Destroyer!" Myotismon fires several beams of dark energy at the weakened Imerialdramon. Most of the beams hit hard, while those that didn't hit around where the digidestined were standing. Imperialdramon began to glow bright, Myotismon saw this and stopped his attack, smiling. Imperialdramon then separated into Veemon and Wormmon, whom Davis and Ken caught.
"I'm sorry, Davis," Veemon apologized weakly.
"It's okay Veemon," Davis responded.
"He's too strong!" Matt pointed out.
There has to be a way to defeat him, Tai thought to himself. But how?
Myotismon laughs in the sky, "Do you see now you foolish children? You can never defeat me! This time I will make sure that you will never stop me again! Endless-!"
Myotismon sees something out of the corner of his eye and moves aside quickly, a giant chain covered in blue lightning almost hit him.
"Run Digidestined!" A loud booming voice echoed in the sky. It was Azulongmon.
Tai grunts, clenching his fists, "We… have no other choice right now."
"Tai?"
"What are you saying?" Davis cried out. "We can't just run away from this!"
"He's right," Matt told them. "We can't fight like this, our digimon are drained of power and he took out our strongest fighters in such short time. We need to get out of here right now and plan another kind of attack."
"Let's move everyone!" Tai screamed and all the digidestined started running.
"To what do I owe the honor of destroying the great Azulongmon?" Myotismon smiled.
"I cannot allow you to kill the digidestined," the great blue digimon replied.
"And you're going to stop me?" the vampire laughed. "I'd like to see you try."
"The digidestined are the protectors of the two worlds, they will stop you." the blue dragon tells him.
"We'll see about that," the vampire chuckled.
As the children ran, great flashes lit up the sky behind them. Tai clenched his fist as he ran, internally cursing that there was nothing he can do.
"Sora!" Matt's voice broke his emo period.
Tai turned back as the others ran on ahead, Sora had tripped somehow and Matt is already helping her up. But something else caught Tai's eye. A small light in his chest started to glow.
"Endless Abyss!" NightmareMyotismon fired his powerful ball of dark energy at the dragon. Azulongmon was able to dodge it and the ball flew past him, but the dragon noticed a smile on the vampire's face. "Did you really believe that I was aiming at you?"
Realizing what he meant, Azulongmon watched the ball fly towards two of the digidestined on the ground. It was already too far away for him to stop.
As Sora got up, she and Matt notice a wiz of brown and blue fly past them.
"Get out of here now!" Tai's voice came from behind them. They both turned and saw that Tai was running towards N.Myotismon's Endless Abyss. Everything seemed to slow down as they saw their leader and their best friend sacrifice himself. The light in Tai's chest grew brighter as he jumped into the attack.
"AAAAAHHHHH!"
"TAIIIII!" Sora screamed out, but it was too late.
Both Tai and the ball of dark energy were engulfed in a great bright light before it exploded. Matt and Sora had to cover their eyes from the wind and smoke. When it was all gone, all they could see was a crater.
Sora and Matt looked at the damage with horror.
"It can't…" Matt couldn't find the words to finish what he was saying.
"No," Sora fell to her knees. "NOOOOO!"
HAHAHAHAHA!
With his last breath, Tai sacrificed himself to save Sora and Matt. What will the Digidestined do now? Can they really stop NightmareMyotismon?
Tune in same Digi time! Same Digi channel!
Author Notes: Okay, now I know I made him too strong. And Tai is now gone, last time that happened the group fell apart. How the hell am I going to make them strong enough to take out NightmareMyotismon?
Heh, craziness begins next chapter, so final warning.
