"Cyber Nail."
Cyberdramon's claws struck, effortlessly tearing through my cloak and my body, dark smoke bursting to the side of me.
Vaguely, I thought I heard shouts of concern. I didn't have any time to worry about things like that, however.
My hands came up, my claws lengthening and sharpening, and I dug them into Cyberdramon's shoulders, piercing his armour with frightening ease.
He howled, but didn't get to do anything else as space twisted, pulling the both of away.
Specifically, into my corrupted dimension.
Cyberdramon struck me again, this time attacking my arms, severing them at the elbows. They burst into smoke, also incidentally removing my claws from his shoulder.
"Desolation Claw!" Cyberdramon screamed, his arms raised, and pointed at me, completely ignoring the holes in his shoulders.
His arms glowed, and an instant later, a beam of light shot at me, piercing my chest. It accomplished exactly as much as anything else he had done; absolutely nothing.
I was made of Darkness. Not Data.
"Fool." My cloak split apart, revealing the black coat underneath. Eight streams of Darkness shot at Cyberdramon, extending from my back, a black ball forming at the tips of each.
They stopped short of Cyberdramon, slamming together, the balls of Darkness colliding and exploding, releasing a purple-green firestorm.
A thought, and the room that we were in began to expand, the wooden floors, cushions, and sofa's vanishing, replacing itself with rock. The previously black space became a wall of shifting black, white and grey, visible thanks to the sudden lack of walls and ceiling.
Now, I had a lot more room to move about, and nothing I'd need to repair afterwards.
Cyberdramon leapt out of firestorm, what little visible skin he had seemingly singed, and his armour significantly darker than it was before. His fist began to rear back, and his wings extended.
My streams of Darkness quickly rushed back, looking oddly like utterly black wings, overlaying in front of Cyberdramon.
He ripped through them in an instant, his claw piercing them and his body tearing through on sheer inertia.
He brought his other hand up, stabbing his claws straight through the hooded portion of my cloak, tearing out the back.
Cyberdramon grinned. I was kind of surprised by how annoyed I was at seeing it. Oh well. Let's wipe that grin off your face.
A blade extended from my cloak, straight into and through Cyberdramon's stomach. He grunted as it went through him, looking down. He growled again, before swiping his right claw at it, jumping back when the rest of the blade turned into smoke.
"I'll give you this, you are a tough one." I complimented. "First your shoulders, then the firestorm, and now you've taken a blade through the stomach. And you just won't die."
Cyberdramon cackled.
The last of the black smoke re-joined my form, filling the hole that had been in the back of my coat's hood.
I let the light of my eyes become visible, a pair of pure blue orbs staring at Cyberdramon.
I straightened up, standing at my full height, my streams of Darkness straightening out, eight small black wings holding perfectly still, pointing away from my body.
I reached up, pulling the top hat off my head, holding the edge of the hat between two fingers. It began to fade away, starting from the top.
Cyberdramon stared at me, his form tensed, watching, waiting.
I held the hat's formless Darkness in my hand. "Cyberdramon." I addressed. "It's time for you to-"
There was a thunderous crash, and Growlmon fell out of the air, headfirst into the ground. Renamon dropped beside him, Rika in her arms, while Terriermon gently carried Henry down. Takato, however, simply landed on top of Growlmon's chest.
"What."
Cyberdramon slumped, confused.
"How the actual fuck did you guys get in here?"
"Our-" Rika paused only for a moment upon seeing my appearance. "- D-Powers."
What.
"You said that they could be used to get into other dimensions." Henry said. "So we used them to get in here."
What?
Growlmon grumbled, straightening up. Takato slid off him, joining Henry and Rika. "Yeah, we just pointed them at where you guys were, and it worked."
Whaaat?
I looked, and, sure enough, I could see the fading vestiges of a connection between this dimension and the Human Dimension.
I will eat my hat if that wasn't the DigiGnomes.
"You..." I slumped. "You... Ugh... Why did you have to come here? You've only got two Champions between you, and this is against an Ultimate."
"You could have needed help!" Takato said.
"I..." I hung my head. "Your purpose is admirable. That said, you shouldn't be anywhere near here."
I raised my hand in their direction, and promptly teleported them as far away as I could.
A couple hundred meters in that direction, at the very edges of this dimension.
I did not want those three anywhere near this fight. Too much collateral damage to worry about. Cyberdramon was a Vaccine-type, and Growlmon would suffer for it. Kyubimon was a Data-type, but she didn't have the raw power to be a threat to Cyberdramon. Terriermon... was Terriermon, and Henry wouldn't let the little bunny Digivolve.
To say nothing of the fact that the three children were three humans that would be stuck in the middle of a battle with two Champions, a Rookie and a Heartless against an Ultimate.
I turned back around, facing Cyberdramon. "Sorry about that." I said, standing tall again. "Now, where was I? Oh yes." The formless Darkness in my hand began to take shape. "Cyberdramon. It's time for you to die." I brandished my newly made sword at him.
"You..." Cyberdramon breathed, rasping. "May try."
His arms rose in my direction.
"Desolation Claw!"
I moved to the side, before charging at him, blade prepared.
I swung the sword down at him, and his hands moved up, slamming together and catching the blade, touching only the flat sides instead of the edge.
He brought his knee up, hitting me in the stomach, pushing the blade to the side, and clawing at me again.
"Cyber Nail."
He struck, hitting my neck, black smoke bursting out as my head was torn off my body.
Shame for him, then, that even this was not able to put me down.
Darkness burst out of my other hand, forming another sword.
Cyberdramon saw it, and realised that he was far, far too close. He tried to jump back, but didn't make it before I swung.
My sword met Cyberdramon's armor, and cut through it with malevolent glee.
Cyberdramon's body fell to the ground in two pieces.
My head and hood reformed just in time to catch Cyberdramon's body exploding into data.
