Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon
Chapter 5: A fight, a battle
The two Digimon looked at each other, Takato already knew what Ryo would do and was ready to counter. All Gallantmon CM had to do was wait for him to attack and he knew that he wouldn't have to wait long.
Justimon charged forwards, his right arm transforming as he ran he shouted "Voltage Blade". He slashed downwards with the energy blade at his chest, blocking it with Blutgang and slammed the side of Gungnir into his chest sending him flying backwards.
"You never test your opponent, you always just run in head on and that means you leave yourself open" Gallantmon CM's dual voice explained. "How are you meant to lead anyone when you just charge forward?" he asked.
Justimon got up slowly, that hit had taken both energy and air out of him and needing to stop any more hits he decided to go all-out attack. Lunging at Takato he quickly slash at his stomach before jumping into the air and calling out "Justice Kick" and swung his leg round aiming a kick at Gallantmon's face.
Takato let his martial arts training take over and Gallantmon dodged the slash before using Gungnir to block the kick, punching downwards he slammed the hilt of Blutgang into his stomach. The force of the blow sent Justimon slamming into the ground, Gallantmon just his head. "You still haven't learnt anything, you can't win every battle by throwing yourself at it" he said.
Ryo's anger took over, he charged at Gallantmon slashing again and again using every second to attack. Gallantmon was able to block every attack that Ryo tried, Takato was both faster and stronger than his opponent. Suddenly Justimon flipped forward his arm transforming in mid-air, calling out "Thunderclap" slamming his transformed hand into the ground he sent shockwaves towards Gallantmon.
Gallantmon was pushed back five feet but he had taken the attack head on and it hadn't even scratched him. "Nice display of power but that won't help you and you know it" Gallantmon said sadly "you know you can't beat me and you know it, your pride just won't let you admit it."
Kneeing Justimon in the head Gallantmon flew up into the air, Justimon slowly getting to his feet "If you use 'Crimson Light' now at 15% power and aim at the ground under him under his feet, it will drain the last of his energy." He heard Angel's voice inside Gallantmon's mind, 'Takato who was that?' he heard Guilmon ask in thought. 'That's Angel Guilmon I told you about her on the way to school' he thought back. 'Oh hello Angel, Takato can we attack now?' 'Okay boy', Gallantmon aimed at the ground under Justimon's feet and shouted "Crimson Light".
Ryo had just got Justimon to stand when the attack hit, the blast sent him flying backwards before de-digivolving when he crashed into the ground. "Power isn't everything in a fight, I appreciate the help from my partners while you use yours as a tool."
Takato waited for his other Digimon to join him before turning to walk away, he made it halfway to the school when he froze in horror as his Digimon got ready to fight. He had only sensed this once before and it hadn't turned out well. "Get your asses away from there now" he shouted, the terror in his voice caught everyone attention "Move it!" he screamed.
Seeing him standing there with fear plain on his face and his Digimon standing in front of him ready to fight sent them all running to stand behind Takato looking the same way as him. "I need all the Mega's in the first line, Ultimate's in the second line, Champion's in the third line and Rookie's protecting the tamers." He called out before whispering to himself "Not like last time, please not like last time."
"What happened last time?" Rika asked from next to him.
"It was BlackGatomon that answered "Last time a group of megas made it through the local tamers just rushed in and didn't have a plan, by the time we arrived the Digimon were out cold. I got to work getting the Digimon and their tamers out of there as LadyDevimon, while Takato threw himself at the group of megas as Gallantmon. When I finished I went to help out Takato and under his orders I took out any injured ones that got passed him but we needed back up." She paused looking at Takato with sad eyes "Piedmon got passed both of us, he attacked a human after knocking me out Takato was seconds late. Gallantmon took us to the nearest hospital before de-digivolving, Takato then passed out from exhaustion. Takato's father died from the wounds that Piedmon inflicted while he slept on unknowing" she explained.
The boy that now held everyone's attention knelt down in front of Guilmon "Boy I really hate to ask you this but we need numbers not brute strength."
"It's ok Takato we're in control this time" the Digimon replied knowing what he wanted to ask.
"Takato what are you going to do if he's going mega without you?" Renamon asked.
Takato smiled at the vixen briefly "Well you see," he scratched the back of his head "I can answer the one question that I couldn't before." Renamon stood staring at the boy, the shock had frozen her to the spot. Seeing the thick fog by the battle area he told everyone to digivolve and get ready, every one of them seeing the fog they followed his order immediately.
DIGIVOLUTIONS ACTIVATED
Renamon bio-merge to …. Sakuyamon
Terriermon bio-merge to …. MegaGargomon
Guardromon digivolve to …. Andromon
Gatomon digivolve to …. Angewomon
Patamon matrix-digivolve to…. MagnaAngemon
Ryo slashed the card that Takato had thrown him "Digi-modify! Energy Restore Activate" he called out. He wondered why Takato was doing after their fight, Takato already knew what was troubling the boy.
"I told you I need numbers, this is going to be a hard fight and I need everyone even you so bio-merge" the boy called out to Ryo.
Monodramon matrix-digivolve to …. Cyberdramon
Cyberdramon bio-merge to …. Justimon
"Our turn now guys" Takato called out.
BlackAgumon warp-digivolve to …. BlackWarGreymon
BlackGatomon Digivolve to …. LadyDevimon
"Hope you're ready boy" he shouted to Guilmon
Guilmon warp-digivolve to …. Megidramon
A giant armoured dragon stood where Guilmon had been moments before, "You ok there boy?" Takato asked a little worried.
"I'm ok Takato but what do you do" the dragon asked.
Takato just laughed before he held his omnivice in front of him, 'Angel, do it now!'
ALTERNATE DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATED
Takatomon fused-digivolve to …. Flamedemon
Where Takato had stood moments ago now stood a large demon, his well-muscled body covered in finely made armour. Dark red skin showing from round the edges of it showed that it was built to maximize movement while still protecting the body. He had two small horns coming out of his head as well as two dragons like wings, his tail waving slightly to keep the new form balanced. His face had changed a lot, it looked older and stronger his hair in a plat against his back. He had claws instead of nails as well as clawed feet, on his left hip you could see the hilt and sheath of a finely made sword.
Watching the fog he could see that it was starting to dissipate "MarineAngemon I need you go to the back with the Rookies and help heal those that get hurt in battle."
"Angel I need you to scan for their levels, I can sense every one of the thirty there but not their levels" Takato said out loud getting shocked reactions from all of them.
"You were right Takato there are 30 of them all Mega" he heard her reply.
It was at this point Renamon noticed the slot, screen and buttons incorporated into the armour on his left forearm. She was shocked at how even as a Digimon he would be able to scan both wild Digimon and cards. Sakuyamon asked with Renamon voice "I see you've upgraded your omnivice and named her," flashes of memories of their talk appeared in Sakuyamon's mind so Renamon's tamer could understand what she was talking about "and I would like to know how use you omnivice in that form but we have other things to worry about."
Takato then remembered what he had just learnt "There are thirty megas in that digital field, us megas are going to damage and delete as many as we can. I want everyone else to pick off any of the ones we injure" he stated quickly before saying "get ready it's started."
The moment he finished saying that the digital field disappeared and the omnivice's holographic screen activated.

Eight of these Digimon mow stood ready to attack, scanning the five to the left of them and displaying their data next.

The last two were the strangest Digimon Takato had ever seen, again the holographic screen displayed their data.

The group of megas then charged forwards, without thinking Flamedemon threw up his right hand shouting "Solid Inferno!" A wall of fire appeared in front of him before he threw the wall out towards the approaching enemy, quickly drawing the sword out of its sheath and watching as the blade itself ignited. Takato thanked god that he had backup this time as his attack slammed into a group of five Puppetmon deleting three of them and injuring the other two.
The others took it as a sign to attack and soon entered the battle.
"Terror Destroyer"
"Megiddo Flame"
He heard shouted as he started fighting close combat, with his flaming sword he began to cut through the Puppetmon attacking. Every now and again he would see an arrow of light or an electric blade of energy taking out the Digimon he was only able to injure, it reminded him that this time he had help and that this time none would get passed.
After two hours of fighting they were finally down to the last enemy Digimon, Flamedemon called out "Burning Blade" as he slashed down at the Gulfmon. An explosion centred around where the sword struck turning the Digimon into data, while this was happening its voice screamed out "Even though you have beat us this time the Seven Lords will rule this world."
Takato took off with his Digimon straight after the battle not giving anyone a chance to stop him, he wasn't up to the questions they would want answered. Arriving home on Grani he thanked the mechanical dragon for his help today, he called out "Thank you for your help with the battle today, you fought well Lillymon" before walking into the building.
On the roof of the building next to the bakery Lillymon couldn't help but smile, she couldn't believe that she had witnessed a human become a Digimon. She couldn't believe that she had helped finish off the injured megas and protected humans ether but there was just something about the boy that kept drawing her back.
"So what were you talking about with that boy in class, you said something about virus types and the Digital World" Kari asked her Digimon partner seriously "what's happening there that would make him react like that."
"In the Digital World the D-Reaper has been blamed on the virus type Digimon, they are hunted down and deleted," the feline said sadly "I'm guessing that at one point or another someone has tried to delete each of the four of them."
Both the girl and the Digimon were wondering about the boy, they had watched him do two impossible things that day and yet learning a little of his past she couldn't help but feel bad for him. First she had seen him take on and beat the Legendary Tamer himself without breaking a sweat and then second they had seen the boy himself digivolve.
He was unlike any boy Kari had ever known, she could tell that he had a kind heart and she didn't know why but it hurt her to see him push everyone away. Like everyone that had heard BackGatomon's explanation Kari felt for him, to fight a group of megas like they had earlier with only one ultimate for backup was bad enough. But to have of witnessed the strike that was responsible for his father's death, to have gotten there only seconds too late to stop it must have been hell for him.
Entering her house she collapsed on the sofa, Tai heard her entering and walked into the lounge "So how was my little sister's first day at school?" he asked.
She sighed and decided to tell the truth "Do you want me to start with the virus tamer, Ryo getting beaten, the boy turning into a Digimon or the group of megas that attacked?" she asked exhausted.
Tai of course only heard one of these "A group of megas attacked, are you ok Kari what happened?" She knew her brother would overreact like this, he always did when she fought wild Digimon but this was a group of megas so now he was going overboard.
"I'm fine Tai," she said trying to relieve his fears "don't forget that the first tamers were there with a school full of Digimon. I'm fine Tai really."
Tai's face calmed for a few seconds before he remembered the rest of what she had said "A virus tamer? Are you sure it wasn't a wild one?" he asked now curious.
"Tai it was three Digimon in the classroom with their tamer, I should know they fought with us against the megas" she said.
"What's the tamer like? Wait a second, did you just say this tamer has three Digimon?" he asked in shock staring at Kari as though she was sick.
"He looks like someone who has been through hell and walked out the other side having learnt to push aside his fear, I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet but from brief exchange between him and Gatomon I've learnt a few things." Tai sat down next to her to let her explain what she knew "I know that he is defensive when it comes to the virus type, I know that he has three Digimon two of which can go to mega and I know he can change into a Digimon." She paused quickly to get her breath back before continuing "And one of his Digimon told us he lost his father in an attack by a group of megas, so he was probably reliving the worst day on his life and yet he was the one that saved us. It was him that noticed what was happening, it was him that got us ready to fight and it was him that came up with the plan that allowed us to not only win but do it without any losses."
Tai was stunned by what she had just told him, the boy had pushed his own fear aside to come up with the only plan that could work and then fight alongside everyone else.
Renamon was already waiting for him when Takato got home, he had sensed her standing in his bedroom from outside and greeted her without looking up. "Renamon to what do we owe the pleasure?" he asked in defeat, he already knew the reason the vixen was here.
"You disappeared so quick after the battle that we didn't get to finish our discussion," she simply stated "now where were we? Oh yeah, how are you able to use your omnivice in your digivolved form?" Looking up he could see that she was now leaning against the wall relaxing.
Sending her a small smile Takato put his bag on his desk and started to look through it "Well you know most of it already so it won't matter if you know a little more" he laughed. Pulling a piece of paper out his bag and stated while handing it to her "I'm able to for the same reason no one can any data on Guilmon, I drew it."
Renamon looked down at the drawing in her hand, it was a detailed drawing of his digivolved form both shaded and coloured. But what she was looking at was the Digimon's data under the picture, she remembered that he had made Guilmon but she never would have thought he would draw his own digivolution.
Not caring that Renamon was still there Takato pulled off his jacket and t-shirt and crawled into bed. The slight pleasure at seeing his body quickly changed to worry upon seeing him curl up in a ball before finally passing out from exhaustion.
"Will he be ok?" she asked BlackGatomon not looking away from the boy, the feline gave her a knowing smile and replied "He just needs to rest, he will be better tomorrow."
After Renamon left to go back to Rika's BlackGatomon jumped up next to her tamer and lay down against him. "Making new friends already Takato I see, I bet you don't even know you done it" she whispered before closing her eyes.
Far away from the day's events six figures stood in the pitch blackness, they were in the middle of a heated discussion "They shouldn't have been able to win, we had data on all the first tamers. Everything told us they would they would rush forward and be beaten, the first tamers did come up with that plan." The deep voice pointed out, silence greeted his words until a quiet giggle broke it.
"I already know it wasn't their plan, unlike you five I watched the battle," the smile on the female voice's owner went unseen in the dark "so I already know it was the half-breed's plan."
"Tell me what you know of this half-breed" a new voice demanded.
