The 7th war
Chapter 7: Dangerous Movements
Bit Forest
It had been three days since their encounter with the corrupted Apemon. During this time trio had been working hard to improve themselves as best they could.
Seth was currently on the treadmill with his 25 extra pounds of ankle, wrist, and body weights to help strengthen himself as he had his Digivice menu open looking at the new cards he received from Biyomon's addition to the party, thinking of new possible combos for their formation and to help out in a tight spot that could be similar or worse than their situation when Apemon attacked. So far the cards Seth possessed were as follows.
X2 Recovery, this card recovers a targets health by 20%
Barrier, This card surrounds the target in a defense barrier that takes an amount of damage equal to 25% of the targets health before breaking
X2 Speed Boost, this card doubles the target's speed for one minute
Dragon Scales this doubles target's defense for 10 seconds
X2 Power Boost, this card doubles the target's attack for one attack
Dragon Claw this card coats the claws of a dragon type digimon in energy to allow their attack to pierce through an opponents defense value
Smoke Wall this card spews forth a wall 10 ft high and 5 ft thick at the foe lasts a maximum of a minute given possible wind and breezes can dispel it faster.
Steel Feathers it allows a bird type to shoot out their feathers like steel tipped arrows out of a bow at a high rate
Vortex Beak it allows the user to surround their mouth or beak in a vortex of cutting wind that increases piercing damage and cutting damage
Wind Barricade, Ally Digimon creates a small tornado that captures and damages a target for 10 seconds equal to the attack of the source Digimon
Already some good plans had formulated in Seth's mind for any combat situations dealing with Rookie or Champion level enemies. Thinking of these strategies Seth opened up his encyclopedia function and started researching any Digimon he could from the levels of Rookie-Ultimate.
As Seth continued his research and exercising, Agumon was busy punching an iron coated punching bag as he had 30 pound weights on each arm to challenge himself further. Sweat glistened on his orange scales as he had been punching for the last 30 minutes and he was feeling a lot of fatigue build up. He was waiting for the timer he set up from the items prepared for their training to ring once 45 minutes had passed.
Agumon then spared a glance at Biyomon. She had a self regenerating boulder, that was about 10 feet tall and 15 feet thick, set up in front of her that had a 5 foot deep and 4 foot wide hole in it as she was panting hard from exhaustion. Biyomon had been pushing herself the most so that she could catch up to Agumon in stats and experience. The boulder finished regenerating from her last Spiral Twister attack and she breathed deep to unleash her strongest attack yet. This time when she fired it she blew a hole that was 5 feet wide and went 8 feet deep into the boulder. She collapsed from the effort.
"Biyomon!" two voices shouted out in concern, halting their training to run over and cradle the exhausted Bird Digimon in their arms, Seth taking her head and shoulders while Agumon had her legs, and went to her cot to lay her down.
Agumon put the covers on her as Seth commented on her current state, "Dang it Biyomon," as he wiped sweat form his brow, "I can't believe you are still pushing yourself too hard."
Agumon then grabbed a towel and dipped it into the water bucket they kept in the tent for drinking and began to wipe the cool water over Biyomon's over heated body. She breathes a bit easier as her body cools down from the water and whispers out "I'm sorry...I just want to be... a good partner... and help you end the fighting...".
Seth sighs and kneels down next to her cot as he gently puts a hand on her forehead, "I believe you Biyomon, but remember we are in this together, we won't leave you behind, so you can get stronger at your own pace without needing to stumble, or rush to keep up. You both are my dear friends and companions in this war and I will be damned if I am going to lose my friends to an evil Digimon."
Agumon looks at Biyomon with determination and then smiles widely as he declares with determination, "That's right Biyo! We can make it together! And with us all working together as a team we can beat any Digimon that dares come toward us! Count on us to help you just like we count on you to have our backs!"
Biyomon looks up at both Tamer and Digimon and then smiles back at them with a renewed energy in her eyes, "I will keep my own pace and won't push myself anymore, thanks guys, I forgot that we are a team and that I am not alone in this while I was trying so hard to catch up to Agumon's level. I will do what I can with what I have."
Agumon smiles and Seth chuckles kindheartedly as a sudden ring sounds out and Agumon realizes something, "Whoops! My timer for my workout!" he yells out as he rushes to where the timer is to turn it off.
Seth and Biyomon look at his disappearing form with wide eyes of surprise then look at each other and both begin to laugh at the dinosaurs antics.
Above Bit Forest
Unknown to our group, a few miles away from their camp above Bit Forest, Angemon was doing his best to fight off 3 dark scaled Airdramon's, the serpentine dragon Digimon usually looked like a blue scaled Asian Lung dragon who doesn't have legs, that usually sported a pair of bright red wings with a bone skull protecting their face and a pair of wooden horn/antlers on their head as well, however this was usually. Right now it looked like the 3 Vaccine Dragon Type Champions had undergone the same virus corruption of the Apemon as they were completely black scaled with glowing red eyes and their wings were now blood red instead of bright red. They currently surrounded him on three sides like a triangle as he glanced around at the three to see what their next move would be.
(Cue Those Who Fight - Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Music Extended)
"Wind Cutter!"
Hearing the attack Angemon flew down quickly, as the Airdramon to his left had flapped it's wings to shoot out three 5 foot long blades of wind in his direction. The blades barely missed him as he felt the air just above him be disturbed by their passing, looking to his right he saw a wide open mouth of sharp teeth ready to chomp him in half as another Airdramon was trying to bite him with it's attack called, Big Jaws. Summoning his staff by gathering his energy into his hand and forcing it to quickly condense into a golden 8 foot long staff of holy wood.
"Angel's Staff!"
Angemon brings his staff up in an underhanded striking arc forcefully shutting the jaws closed with a loud clang as the Airdramon's own teeth rattled against each other from the force of the blow.
"Tail Whip!"
Angemon feels his back be slammed by the third Airdramon's tail, as a result he is propelled through one of the many trees below them destroying the top of it as he continued to crash into the thicker trunk of a second one in his collision course.
Getting reorganized the three Airdramon form a pyramid triangle, where one was above the other two, and begin their most powerful attack combination.
Angemon gets up shakily and with light trickles of fresh red blood going down his back from the tail attack and trees slamming into him, Ugh the bleeding isn't too bad but another blow like that and I'll be in trouble, as he thought this he felt the wind starting to grow in strength as it rushes past him from his perch in the half destroyed tree.
Looking up, his mouth falls open as he sees a large 30 ft diameter orb of highly condensed wind gathering between the three Airdramon's as they are preparing their deadliest attack called, Fatal Tornado.
If they release that attack here not only will I be destroyed but dozens of other Digimon living in these woods will be destroyed as well! I've got to stop this now! Gritting his teeth and clenching his fist to fight back the pain Angemon rockets into the sky causing the Airdramon trio to follow his movement with their heads and causing their aim to tilt up as well.
Flying up so the Sun's glare was going straight into his foes eyes he then charges his Hand Of Fate attack in his fist. Seeing the danger the Airdramon's launch their attack,
"Fatal Tornado!"
As the attack is released Angemon fires his attack off as a flash bang cone covering the Airdramon in light that temporarily blinds them. Using this opportunity Angemon nosedives to avoid the 70ft diameter tornado heading straight for his last known location.
As the three dragons shake off the blind effect they look towards the sky and see their tornado attack dissipate into powerful wind currents with no enemy left. Grinning from horn to horn the Airdramon look to each other for a job well done before their leader's eyes widens and sees Angemon bearing down on his fellow dragon.
"Behind you! He-!"
But the warning came too late as Angemon takes this moment to coat his staff in his Hand Of Fate attack's energy to boost his power and smashes down with all his strength onto the surprised Airdramon's skull, thus shattering the bone helmet and causing the Digimon to shatter into Data streams of 1's and 0's and reform into his red scaled dragon Digi-egg.
The egg begins to float down to the ground to try and hatch at a later time while the two remaining Airdramon launch their Wind Cutter attacks at Angemon hoping to catch him off guard after such a powerful attack on his part.
However being a Digimon with his stats evenly spread across the board he regains his balance quickly and uses his trained reflexes to block the incoming wind blades with his staff, shattering the blades mid flight towards him.
Shocked at how easily he shattered their attacks the Airdramon's don't react in time to Angemon blasting one of them with his Hand Of Fate attack three times in a row until the poor victim now possesses three large holes where the beam attacks hit and went through him.
Seeing his last comrade turn into a Digi-egg as well the final Airdramon then looks at Angemon with a murderous look in his eyes until he notices something. Angemon was sweating and panting hard due to his recent actions in this fight to take down these opponents. Grinning Airdramon charges up a smaller Tornado to take out Angemon.
Angemon snaps his attention to his final target as said target charges an 8ft diameter orb of concentrated wind in front of it's mouth. Thinking quickly Angemon Charges his own orb of wind energy with a golden glow covering it.
Both Digimon glare at each other as they charge their attacks to their limits before releasing them at the same time.
"Tornado!"
"Omni Typhoon!"
The green colored wind tornado heads towards the golden colored vortex of wind and light. The two attacks clash against each other with a large explosion of wind that coats the forest with a harsh gale, quite similar to a thunderstorms wind force. As the dust clears and the ripped up trees and branches come crashing back to the ground Airdramon opens his eyes to see no sign of Angemon anywhere.
Grinning in triumph he rears his head back to roar at the sky. However his roar is changed to a gasp of surprise as Angemon is coming barreling toward Airdramon from up above in a dive bomb maneuver. Trying to charge his Wind Cutter attack Airdramon is unprepared for Angemon to yell out,
"This is the end for you! Hand Of Fate!"
As the beam of holy light comes down with so much force and energy behind it it covers all of his body and disintegrates his form until he breaks apart into data and reforms into his Digi-egg.
(End Theme)
Angemon glides into an evened out angle to avoid the nose dive of death he was in and then lands on one of the few still standing trees in the area, breathing hard and sweating small rivers down his frame from the effort he put into the fight and peril he was just chest deep in. Ugh and these are only Champion level tainted Digimon, what happens if they discover a way to corrupt our Ultimate and Mega level soldiers? His head snaps up at this thought, At that point even Lord Seraphimon, Lady Ophanimon, and Lord Cherubimon would be in danger! I must warn Sorcerymon to prepare anti virus vaccines for all our troops to avoid more of our forces becoming tainted like these Airdramon.
Shaking from the fatigue of his muscles, Angemon bring up his communicator and calls Sorcerymon.
Holy Angel Palace
Sorcerymon was at his large computer monitor, in his private office which contained his 10 foot tall computer monitor, a large 5 foot long wooden desk a nice leather swivel chair and a few lockers and chests that contained various tools and equipment for personal use. Said computer was scanning all of their territories trying his best to locate the missing crests. Sorcerymon was leaning back in his chair taking a break from dealing with the 1,000 potential Tamers down in the courtyard, some of them were rather pleasant to work with they knew their role in all this and accepted it readily, while others are still in the thought process that they were in some live simulation of the game that Jennai created in their world and were not treating this seriously. But the thought that 'they will come around' was what allowed Sorcerymon to continue his job as an adviser and trainer. As he took a sip from his coffee mug that was held gently in his left hand, he saw a call coming in on his wrist communicator. Seeing it was from Angemon 98 he answers thinking it was an update on Seth and Agumon's progress in training.
"Yes Angemon? Sorcerymon here, go ahead."
A small silence fills the other end of the line as all Sorcerymon hears is heavy breathing, sitting up straight in his chair Sorcerymon's voice is now filled with concern and worry for his friend.
"Angemon! Are you there?! Please answer me!"
A few more deep labored breaths from the other end of the line and soon a cough came followed by, "Urgh... Angemon 98 reporting in... cough cough... about dealing with a scouting squad of corrupted Airdramon scouts from the... cough cough... 7 Vices Army... Ugh."
After that final grunt of pain and effort Sorcerymon immediately began to type furiously on his computer to scan for the signal of the current communicator call to locate Angemon.
"Hold on Angemon I'll find you and send help to you immediately so that you can rest up."
Angemon's voice came over with a fierce determined edge to it, "NO You will send a Kudamon package runner.. cough... to me with medical supplies to heal my wounds... ugh... and food to help me recover my strength from this ordeal, I will... cough... NOT jeopardize my mission... cough... in order to rest, I'll rest... urgh... when I am a Digi-egg again." With a final sigh of pain as he finishes his rant Angemon's line goes quiet, save for the labored breathing Sorcerymon hears.
Taking off his white wizards hat and scratching his head in frustration at his friends attitude and reason he lets out an exasperated sigh. He hears a beep from his computer as it shows the current location of Angemon on the map.
"I've got your location bud you just sit tight and a Kudamon package runner will be there soon for you. Just hang on and don't push yourself any further."
Angemon breathes deep from his end of the call and answers with a slight chuckle in his tone, "No arguments from me, *sigh* Angemon out."
As the call ends Sorcerymon brings up a call function to call a package runner to him.
Only a few seconds later a Kudamon flies into his monitor room with a satchel around his body. Sorcerymon regards the little serpentine fox as he brings out some medical sprays and some emergency rations from his personal locker located in his office, Kudamon has a 2 foot long body golden tattoos that look like data chip patterns along his back, he possesses two from paws but no back legs as his tail ends with a golden tip and he has a golden ring around his neck just behind his head, he also has twin sharp pointed ears with black tips and golden eyes.
"You called for me sir Sorcerymon?"
Sorcerymon readies his bag of medical supplies and rations for Kudamon's satchel and turns to the small Rookie level Vaccine Digimon.
"Indeed I called you for a special request, Angemon 98 has been wounded in battle and cannot risk leaving his current position for both his mission and for the risk of worsening his injuries before giving them a good chance to heal. Your job is to take these supplies to him so he may continue to work on his mission and to avoid hurting himself more. Understood Kudamon?"
Kudamon looks as Sorcerymon in his eyes.
"Yes sir, Get to Angemon 98's location, give this package of supplies to him, and on your authority, order him to rest and heal before continuing his mission."
Sorcerymon blinks at the repeated information and chuckles to himself.
"Well that last part wasn't said but I believe that will be a nice addition for him to know I want him to take care of his mission and of himself. Very well go forth and take care of him okay?"
Kudamon nods once takes the supplies and stores them into his satchel. Saluting Sorcerymon, Kudamon takes off as a small blur going to Angemon as fast as his speed allows him to.
Sighing and then slumping back into his chair, Sorcerymon leans back and then spins to stare at his monitor once again as he pinches the bridge of his non existent nose.
"That idiot better be safe or else I'm down a good soldier and friend."
Sipping his warm coffee Sorcerymon starts the system back up in scanning mode for more crest energy.
7 Vices HQ: Strategy room
"Urgh!" a loud slam that shattered a nearby table followed the angry grunt on irritation.
The owner of said voice was none other than Wisemon, an Ultimate level Virus Digimon who looked like a 6ft tall dark skinned demon in a red robe with a golden head wrap casting his face in shadow that allowed only his two gleaming yellow eyes to be seen, his red and yellow orbs of memory recording spun around his quickly showing his irritation.
"Damn it! First the Fangmon scouting squad I sent is wiped out! Then I learn my private experiment that created that Corrupt Apemon is wiped out by some Tamer child and his two Digimon partners! And Two Partners! How can a Tamer have more than one Partner! In none of my records does an instance of this situation exist! And to top it all off on this wonderful cake that is my life! I lose my other scouting squad of corrupted Airdramon's as well!"
Picking up a book case and throwing it against the nearest wall his grunt/yells in fury as that poor victim of a book case is smashed to splinters. His two guards a pair of Ogremon are sweating nervously at his display and whispering to each other in hushed voices during this tantrum.
"Sir Wisemon is really pissed off today... Any Idea why?"
The other Ogremon looks to Wisemon quickly, seeing said Digimon currently muttering to himself over the map in the center table of the book filled room, he looks back to his fellow guard.
"He is apparently really pissed off because Lord Piedmon gave him the mission to scout the enemy Palace and the surrounding island territory but has lost every squad sent over there so far! I think he is scared of what Lord Piedmon will do to him once he hears of this failurAAAAAAA!"
"Eternal Nirvana!"
The offending Ogremon guard is sucked up into the yellow orb that had floated over to the pair of guards as they whispered. Wisemon lowers his arm and then glares at the remaining guard who is shaking more than a leaf in a wind storm.
"Guards should be seen, not heard. Now..."
Wisemon walks up to the final guard in the room and Ogremon looks about ready to faint away.
"Anything else you want to add to that riveting conversation?"
Shaking his head quickly Ogremon answers as best he can despite his need for self preservation.
"N-no-o-o s-s-sir, j-just go-going to st-stand h-here and b-b-be si-silent!"
With one simple nod in satisfaction Wisemon heads back over to the map and begins studying it once more. Ogremon lets out a long sigh of relief when he hears the door he was SUPPOSED to be guarding slam open and into his face.
Without even looking up from his map Wisemon answers thhe door with an irritated huff.
"What is it!"
The stranger bows with the light casting a shadow over his figure and obscuring him from the view of Wisemon, but Wisemon smirks at the tone of voice when the figure speaks.
"My Brother Lord Murmukusmon says that since I have finally achieved Champion level that I can have a rematch against that Damn Tamer and Agumon that defeated me last time. And Lord Piedmon said you might be in need of a new scout for your mission?"
Wisemon gulps at hearing Piedmon had already known of his failures but then grinned within his hood as he now knew his best chance to get rid of the anomaly Tamer with the twin partners had just walked into his door.
"Very well I will tell you of their current location, and send you to them with my personal teleporter so you can gt the drop on them. In return bring that Tamer back here with the Digi-eggs of both his partners so I can experiment on his Digivice and his Partners."
Grinning the figure in the door way then puts its long fingers to it's chin in a thoughtful way.
"And the Tamer?"
Wisemon chuckles darkly to himself as his eyes gleam evilly in the light.
"I believe you have always wanted a Tamer to make you stronger? Why not use Lady Lilithmon's abilities to force him into a slave Tamer whose sole purpose will be to make you stronger than ever?"
The figure pauses and then thinks, A slave who was my enemy, a way to surpass the 7 Lords and take over the army, and to top it off a way into powering up using the card system from these Digivices I have seen in action against our troops. Perfect! Looking up at Wisemon's eager and waiting look the figure smiles so brightly that against the shadow the light casts him in it looks like the smile of evil in a mass of shadows.
"You've got yourself a deal Sir Wisemon, Get me to them and we both become more from this!"
"Right this way then." As Wisemon turns to lead the figure to his teleporter, he can't help but have one last thought, a willing partner to over throw the Lords and a way to make the soldiers trust us with a break through in gaining strength this may be the start of a beautiful and beneficial partnership!
Bit Forest Campsite
Seth sighed as he analyzed his 3D map of the Island they were all on. Behind him were Biyomon and Agumon who were still training by having a friendly spar against each other. Seth was doing his best to zoom in on Phantom Ruins to plan the best route through with minimal enemy encounters so as to get to Holy Angel Palace that much sooner. As he was studying the entrance that was a small gate similar in design to a cemetery gates with a stone arch over it that had the words PHANTOM RUINS engraved into the stone arch, he noticed that the spar had gone eerily quiet behind him, looking back he was calling out, "Hey! You two okay ov-!"
Suddenly a pink feathered wing covered his mouth and looking up to Biyomon he saw her sweating with one of her talons in front of her beak in a silent 'be quiet' gesture. Nodding slowly Seth looks to where Agumon is in a wide stance that looks like he is ready to either fight all out or sprint away with all his might. As Biyomon removes her wing Seth picks up his Digivice and sets it to scan enemy mode and he notices it has picked up a strong Virus Digimon signature, Champion level and almost 1.5 times the stats of the corrupted Apemon they fought 3 days ago. Getting up from his sitting position Seth scans the surroundings to find the Champion when his Digivice gets a loud beep pointing a 3D holographic arrow behind them. Spinning quickly the trio's eyes widened when they saw who their foe was, A thinly muscled 9 foot tall Devimon who looked like he had a black skin tight lather suit covering him with glowing red eyes and a pair of long black horns on either side of his head, he possessed a pair of large black wings that could easily be an 18 ft wing span if they were extended out, he had long sharp black and red claws with belts buckled around them and an orange bat design tattoo on his lean muscled chest.
When he smirked Devimon revealed his long vampire like fangs and then spoke in a low and menacingly dark voice.
"Hello again. Seth. Agumon. SO good to see you both once again!"
Both partners look at each other and then back at the new foe Seth nervously answers the Digimon, "We've met before? But I don't know any Devimon's!"
Shaking his head mockingly Devimon then laughs right at Seth's answer.
"Well of course you wouldn't recognize me in this form, try to think back, after all I was a sgt. of the 7 Vices army forces last time we met."
Agumon's eyes widen at the mocking tone and the title presented to them by this new foe, "You mean to tell us you were that Impmon we defeated before? How have you gotten so...?"
Smiling evilly at them Devimon makes a mock bow and then looks at them with a judgmental gaze, "Well you're right I was that Impmon, but then my brother Lord Murmukusmon who saved me last time put me through a new hellish training program we've been experimenting with, and here is the result!"
Biyomon's body begins to shake as she realizes that the information she gave Sorcerymon has already been put into the testing phase by the enemy forces, "So all that effort to spy on your base and gather the information about a new training regime that I almost died for is?"
Devimon fixes her with a condescending look and a haughty tone, "Old news my dear, you're information has already evolved and developed into what you see before you! And soon! Our entire army will go up in power once I show the results by destroying both of you and bringing your Tamer back with me to headquarters!"
Immediately Devimon feels a shiver run up his neck as suddenly there is a fireball and spiral of green flame coming right towards him. With his eyes widening in shock he takes the surprise attack head on and is enveloped in flames.
"YOU WILL NOT TAKE OUR PARTNER!" Both Digimon yell loudly at the currently burning champion as Seth smiles at them and readies his cards.
"Thanks guys and great combo attack let's see if we can finish him-" Suddenly a loud beeping interrupts Seth's words and he checks his Digivice. Both Digimon see Seth's eyes widen as he turns pale. On the Digivice screen it shows the status values of Devimon and his HP had barely gone down by 1% from that last combination of attacks.
"GUYS! HE IS BARELY HURT! GET READY FOR-!"
"Darkness blast!"
The flames are blown away from the force of an orb of darkness blasts Agumon square in the chest and sends him tumbling away with a loud "OOOOOOF!", looking at the source of the attack Biyomon and Seth stare with mouths open wide in shock as Devimon stands there with barely a scorch mark on his form and his hand open and out stretched showing the source of the orb.
Agumon gets up shakily with a dark black burn mark across his chest. Seth checks Agumon's HP and sharply inhales as he sees Agumon lost 38% of his health from that one mid level attack. Biyomon flies up and fires off another Spiral Twister right at Devimon.
Just as the attack was about to make contact he smirks and disappears into his own shadow casted by the flames of the attack heading right for him. Biyomon looks around in shock and surprise trying to find him.
"Biyomon calm down! We can't find him if you are panicking like this!" Seth yells up unaware of the black long clawed hand emerging from his shadow ready to stab into him.
Seeing this Biyomon dive bombs Seth as she yells, "MOVE! Spiral Twister!"
Seth rolls to his right getting closer to Agumon who was running towards Seth trying to defend his partner from the back attack. The offending limb is retreating into the remnants of Seth's shadow as he moved away, but not before the flaming twister makes contact with it. Checking Devimon's stats Seth sees they have only managed to whittle away about 1.3% of his health so far.
With a loud, "Damn!" Seth brings up a Recovery card to heal Agumon, but a claw from the orange dinosaur stops Seth mid activation. Agumon shakes his head and says, "Save it, I'm hurt but another attack won't finish me off, let's see if we can deal more damage to him first before needing to use a healing card."
Lowering his hand in defeat Seth sighs and nods to Agumon. Both partners look up at the tree line and see Biyomon trying to find the next sign of Devimon. Gliding to a nearby tree to land Biyomon is unaware of a hand emerging from her shadow this time and casting Darkness Blast at her unprepared and unguarded back, sending her careening off the tree and into a self made dirt trench from the force of the attack.
Seth rushes to Biyomon while Agumon launches a Pepper Breath attack to the spot she was, however the offending limb has already disappeared into the tree once again and is gone from sight. Sliding to a kneeling position next to Biyomon Seth cradles her head in his lap as he scans her for how much damage she took. Gritting his teeth in fear and frustration he sees the scan show almost 85% of her HP was knocked out with that one attack from Devimon.
"Damn, Agumon be careful! Biyomon is in bad shape! She took a critical attack from him just now!"
Agumon looks to Seth and nods, then looks at Biyomon who is covered in scorch marks and painful looking burns from how close the attack was when it hit her. Agumon's claw clenches and then he looks to where Devimon is emerging from a trees shadow while smirking at his most recent attack against the team.
"Sooooo sorry about your little friend there, oh wait! No I'm not! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! You're just two Rookies! Who hadve a dead weight useless meat bag human to be your Tamer! I have trained and broken my limits and pushed into a high tiered Champion Level! You can't beat me as you are!" Tilting his head back with his hand over his eyes in disbelief of Agumon still standing there trying to fight him, Devimon continues his monologue in his mocking and haughty tone, "And I'll make sure to grind you into the dirt with my boot, as I make you watch the process of torture I'll put your Tamer through as I break his body and spirit to become my loyal slave that will only exist to make me stronger! HAHAHAHAHA- Huh?"
(Cue My Hero Academia OST - You Say Run + Jet Set Run)
Devimon's laugh was cut short as he felt a huge wave of anger, resentment, killing intent, but weirdest of all protectiveness and friendship?
Looking to the source he sees an absolutely livid Agumon that seems to have a thin red aura of flames coating his body. As his normally green and round pupil eyes are now a golden color with slit pupils similar to that of a dragon in them.
Devimon sweats and gulps as he takes a step back, then notices what he just did, am I seriously afraid of a Rookie level?! I made it to champion! I was beating him earlier! I can take him on easi-, the train of thought was interrupted by a concentrated pure red fireball to his face causing him to lean back in pain from the heat and force of the attack.
"AAAAAAGH!" Devimon grabs at his still burning face with his hands out of instinct to shield his face and to try to ease the burning.
Agumon then lets out an ear splitting roar towards Devimon and both enemy and friend freeze at the tone and emotion behind this one roar. It sounded like a lion who has discovered it's cub was badly wounded, and it had just found the one who did the deed.
"Heh I'm ready to take you down Devimon! Not cause of what you are! But what you just did to my friend and threatened to do to my best friend! So be ready for the wrath of dragons!"
Leaning his head back Agumon lets out the same pure red Fireball with it's new name, "Spit Fire Bast!"
Devimon tries to dodge it but this flame is going twice as fast as his Pepper Breath attacks, and it hits his shoulder with a small explosion of heat and flame during his turn to try and run out of it's path. This attack coats his arm, shoulder and inside of his wing in burn marks.
Hissing in pain Devimon stops mid run and turns towards the orange dinosaur as he extends his claws. Lunging at Agumon with his claws extended Devimon yells out, "Eat this you dumb lizard! Deadly Nail!"
The attack makes contact and causes Agumon to grunt in pain, but then Devimon's sneer turns into a frown of confusion then panic as he sees Agumon has taken the blow and has managed to grab both his wrists after the attack was over. And he was HOLDING HIM THERE!
"Wha-Ho-What are you?!" Devimon screeches in pain and panic.
"Agumon!" Seth calls and activates one Speed Boost card, one Power Boost card, and the Dragon Claw attack card one after another.
Agumon grins and then uses his new cards to tear into Devimon's wrists causing some black colored blood to drip down to the ground below them. Devimon screams in pain as he feels his flesh become torn from the claws and then suddenly his surroundings blur as Agumon uses the speed boost to drag Devimon along the ground at high speed and then makes sure to pass a tree right as he swings Devimon out to make contact with the trunk.
Groaning after the crash Devimon looks up to see a Spit Fire Blast attack racing towards him at twice the speed and power thanks to both power up cards.
An explosion engulfs Devimon and as the fire burns around his foe, Agumon's red aura dissipates as he slumps to the ground in exhaustion while covered in a thick sheen of sweat.
(End theme)
Seth runs up to Agumon with Biyomon being carried on his back Piggy back style.
"You ok buddy?" Seth asks as he pats the dino's sweaty should using on of his hands.
Agumon looks up at Seth and sees the concern in his eyes with the friendship that they have built together these last few weeks. "Yeah I'll be fine, don't know where that power came from but I'm glad it did, how are my stats looking? And is Devimon defeated?"
Gently Laying Biyomon down on the ground Seth brings up his Digivice to see Agumon's stats and sees they have inceased by 10% of their original value while seeing a new ability for Agumon called "Dragon's soul, When a Digimon of the Dragon type have awakened this skill it means they are ready to turn into their Champion forms, it passively increases the Digimon's stats by 10% and when used in active mode will boost all stats by 50% until the ability is turned off, however the Digimon will burn through twice as much energy during the time this ability is in active mode", the computer A.I. voice tells the Tamer. Agumon smiles widely at this news while Seth hugs his partner, then remembers to scan for Devimon's signature.
"Shit!" Seth gets up quickly as he prepares more cards from his card deck due to Devimon's remaining health being around 70% left.
Agumon gets up trembling all over both from fear and the exhaustion he just put himself through with the Dragon's Soul ability.
Devimon's body looks like it got hit by some fire works due to the scorch marks and burned patches of skin all over him, however that is the extent of his injuries other than the burns he is standing tall with no trembling or signs of other injuries.
Breathing out through clenched teeth from how pissed he was Devimon gives a death glare to the Tamer and his partner. "Well, well, well, that was quite the small heart attack there boys, and all of that just now let me know how it will be even more satisfying to kill you Agumon and to turn your Tamer into my enslaved partner. SO prepare yourself the kiddie wheels come off."
Agumon readies his claws and Seth gets into a wide martial artist pose, until they are both blasted back by a Darkness Blast attack to both of their chests. These attacks have a lot more power packed into them and thus cause Seth to roll a few times from the force and Agumon to tumble in a reverse somersault until he lays flat on his stomach groaning in pain. Devimon chuckles to himself as Seth hits a tree with his back and walks over to the human. Making sure to kick Biyomon's unconscious form as he passes her.
Seth struggles to get up off the tree and to open his eyes fully despite the pain he is dealing with, when he suddenly feels a large clawed hand around his neck and shoulders and is lifted a good 3 feet off the ground. Opening his eyes Seth sees a smiling Devimon who seems to be enjoying Seth's struggles in his right hand as Seth tries, in vain, to punch and kick the offending arm with little effect other than to feel as though he is striking a brick wall.
"You know human," Devimon sighs as he talks making Seth stiffen up and listen to the Champion Virus, "This is actually the most fun I've had since being in that training room, despite the fact I defeated many other Champion level soldiers in the arena. However this is not just fun," Devimon suddenly goes into a horn to horn creepy fanged smile of glee, "THIS IS ALSO JUST PLAIN SATISFYING! Now to have my revenge!"
Seth begins his struggles anew as Devimon reaches up with his left hand and jabs two claws into Seth's left leg causing the Tamer to scream in agony as pain shoots up and through the stabbed leg. "Huh more brittle than I thought, but seeing where you're breaking point is, is part of the FUN!" As a third claw joins the first two widening the stab wound on the leg causing Seth to let out a wail of pain.
"H-Ho-Hold it!" a weak and pain filled voice barely yells out towards Devimon.
Turning to the source of the voice, Devimon sees a barely conscious Biyomon who is keeping her top half off the ground on shaking arms as her legs don't seem to want to cooperate with her body commands to stand and fight.
"Fin-finish wha-what y-you started, ugh, with m-me! Spi-Spiral Twister!"
A weak little stream of green flames comes out of her beak and barely heats up the skin on Devimon's right arm.
Looking at the bird Digimon Devimon sighs and drops the still in pain Tamer to the ground with a thud. Then walks over to Biyomon with eyes filled with contempt. Raising his boot over her head Devimon then says one last thing, "You know the hardest thing about smashing your head with my foot, is that I ONLY GET TO DO IT ONCE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Biyomon's eyes close in fear as Seth tries to weakly crawl towards Biyomon despite the protests of agony coming from his punctured leg.
"Some one Save Biyomon!"
Suddenly a bright light comes pouring out from Seth's Digivice and flows through the air rapidly to cover Agumon in a Digi-egg made of Orange 1's and 0's. Seth stares with disbelief at the even, Biyomon stares with hope, as Devimon gapes at it with disbelief and hatred.
"NO! NOT HIM!" Devimon yells/screams and rushes to try and stop the Digivolution.
But he is too slow as the egg grows to the size of a 20ft building and then cracks open with a bright flash of orange flames.
Looking to the Digimon emerging from the light Seth and Biyomon cheer with happiness as Devimon wails in anger at his bad luck.
Standing there is Greymon, a 20ft tall Orange T-rex with blue tiger like stripes all over his body, his head is protected by a three horned brown helmet which looks like a ceramic coated skull, his large brown eyes open and he roars in rage at Devimon and in protection for his friends.
(Cue Digimon Song Brave Heart extended)
"Devimon! You're done for!"
Yelping Devimon unleashes three Darkness Blast attacks in succession right at Greymon's head, however Greymon tilts his head down so that the helmet he wears takes the attacks instead. With three explosions that cover his head in smoke Devimon yells in triumph.
"HAHAHAHA! Yes! I knew that form was too slow and stupid to be able to beat me! I am -urk!"
As Devimon is suddenly headbutted by a very pissed off Greymon using his Great Horns Attack. The force of the attack had Devimon fly through and destroy the trunk of a tree that was at least 6 ft thick. Groaning and getting up he sees Greymon rear his head back as flames dance around the crack of his mouth, opening his mouth Greymon yells out "Nova Blast!". Devimon's eyes widen in fright at the attack, "Oh Crap baskets!" As a giant 10ft wide and 20ft long Fireball is launched at him and engulfs him in an explosion of heat and flames comparable to a lava pit.
Seth checks his Digivice and then cheers loudly at Greymon, "Nice hit Greymon! Devimon's losing health fast!"
And it was true due to the reduced dmg of hitting his helmet Greymon went from his fully recovered HP down to 92% left, meanwhile Devimon went from 70% to 63% from the head butt and then down to 44% from the Nova Blast technique.
After the flames die down Devimon Pants hard at the pains his body is feeling and unleashes his special technique, "Touch of Evil! Become my puppet you bastard!"
His Arms extend and stab into Greymon as a black aura covers the dinosaurs body from horn to toe. "Greymon NO!" Seth yells in fear of his best friend's current situation.
Devimon grins evilly at his attack connecting until he notices the Aura of corruption isn't sinking into his targets scales, in fact the aura is turning red!
"What?! No!" Recognizing the ability of Dragon Soul Devimon retracts his claws but not before receiving some burns all over his hands and arms. Seth grabs Biyomon at this point and is using his 2 Recovery cards on her to heal her damage. Biyomon shoots up after healing and watches the remainder of the fight while whooping and hollering in glee at Devimon's losing his edge in this fight.
Devimon flies up and charges up a giant orb of Darkness Blast which is growing to 40ft in size. He yells down to the trio, "You will all die here! I will not lose again!"
Seth looks up to Greymon and his Digimon partner nods in understanding and charges up his best attack.
Devimon laughs with glee, "I see! One final struggle against me! You will all burn and die in the embrace of darkness! Darkness! Bast!" As he launches a now 50ft diameter orb of black energy.
Greymon breathes out a 20 foot diameter wide yellow colored flame thrower that shoots up and stops the orb in its descent. Devimon continues to laugh at this supposed last struggle of Greymon, "HAHAHAHAHA! Yes! You will die! How long can you keep this up! After all you have to take a break at some point and you're already in Dragon soul mode! You have no power ups... left...?"
Devimon's eyes widen in shock as he sees Seth smiling up at him and brandishes a second Power Boost card and uses it on Greymon's current attack.
"Mega Flame!" Greymon's yell is heard as his attack doubles in width to 40ft wide and grows from yellow flames to bright red flames that pierce through the dark orb and continue until they make contact with Devimon and envelops him making him yells out in pain and fear, until he is obscured from view by the attack.
(End Theme)
Ending the attack Greymon roars, when there is no sign of Devimon left, in victory as he devolves into Agumon again and collapses in exhaustion onto the ground. Seth and Biyomon run up to him in worry, "Agumon! Speak to us! Are yo-" suddenly their question is silenced with a strange but familiar sound, "Grrmmbblllle" coming from Agumon's belly.
"Biyomon, Seth? Do we have anything left to eat?" Agumon asks weakly as he moans in pain and hunger. Biyomon and Seth look to each other with cocked eyebrows then begin to chuckle which evolve into full blown laughs.
"Jeez you idiot at least tell us you are ok first!" Seth shouts at Agumon while continuing to laugh through his complaint. But despite this he smiles in a good natured way and picks up his friend and carries him back to their now half destroyed camp to scrounge up their food supplies to make their meal for the evening and to treat their injuries.
Nearby in a small canopy of trees
Angemon hisses in pain as he applies the healing salve to his wounds before bandaging it up. And grunts as he ties off the wrappings. Looking to Kudamon, who is helping him put away the bandages and medical supplies, he thanks the small Rookie, "Thank you Kudamon for this, I would be out of commission longer than intended if you hadn't made it here to help me."
Kudamon looks to Angemon and shakes his head softly, "No need to thank me I merely did my job, but there was a strong incentive as you were the one who helped me become well trained as a package runner for Lord Seraphimon."
Angemon chuckles softly to himself as he looks to the sight of the huge fight that went on only a few miles away at the campsite of the Tamer and Agumon he was supposed to be guarding.
"Sorry that I was unable to assist you with that fight," Angemon laments to the trio despite not being anywhere near them to be heard, "But next time a situation like that happens I will be there to assist you with all my strength I can manage," Looking to Kudamon who perks up at Angemon's attention, "Kudamon go to Sorcerymon and let him and Lord Seraphimon about the progress this duo has made in getting stronger against these new obstacles."
Bowing his head to Angemon, Kudamon gives a curt, "Yes sir!" and flies off back to the Palace.
Angemon settles in to rest and heal as he scans the surroundings to keep other enemies off the young trio nearby.
In Wisemon's Study
Devimon's scream fills the room as he is teleported into the room by Wisemon's personal portal machine. Devimon collapses to the floor as soon as he is done porting in as he is covered from head to boot in black burns that make him look like he just got done swimming in a lava pool, which given the attack he just endured is not too far of a stretch. Wisemon runs over with a healing salve that helps Devimon go from a full on scream of pain down to painful grunts and hisses as the burns covering his body go down to scorch marks that are much more easily dealt with.
Wisemon smirks down mockingly as his 'assassin' and simply states, "Bad day?"
Devimon growls and snarls at Wisemon's tone, "THEY DIGIVOLVED! Agumon turned into Greymon! They are too much for me at the moment! I must train again and reach Ultimate level if I want to destroy them this time!" the door to Wisemon's room slams open and shut, hard enough to cause 5ft long cracks to appear in the stone walls, as Devimon stomps down the halls to the training arena to continue his pursuit of power.
Wisemon taps his fingers together and contemplates the next 'brilliant' plan he has involving the now revenge motivated Devimon.
Unknown to both Digimon they were being watched by those they hold in both respect and contempt.
Piedmon chuckles at seeing his young apprentice working hard to upstage the strategist general in plan making while Murmukusmon smirks at his younger brothers pursuit for power in crushing his foes under his feet.
"Hm hm hm hm, these two pet projects of ours are coming together very well my friend, do you truly think they have the potential to take our positions and eventually overthrow Barbamon?" Piedmon questions his 'friend' in a quiet haughty tone.
Murmukusmon turns his head to Piedmon to regard his 'friend' in his scheme and then turns back to the viewing orb in front of him, "I guarantee it, they have more power in their Ultimate forms than we ever did before becoming Mega level Digimon, once they realize it and reach a high enough level to push through to their respective Mega forms then we can step down and allow them to run this Army right over the enemy lines!"
Piedmon 'hmmm's' in agreement and then turns to look over his troops for the next push to take a fort from the Vaccine army that vexes them so.
Murmukusmon looks to where Piedmon disappeared and then chuckles to himself, "Hehehe, pretty sure he is uncertain in all this, but I will show him what you and Wisemon have within you my brother, you hold a power that is perfect to combat the crests of virtue should you ever meet them in battle."
With that the orb is darkened and then Murmukusmon returns to his room to deal with the movements of the opposing forces before they capture more territory from their Virus army.
Well things are heating up here in the Digital world and we still haven't mmade it to Phantom Ruins yet! I will be starting the journey arc now as we finally have Greymon as a combat potential in the coming fights! Looking forward to what you guys think.
