Episode 14: Raid on the Factory (2)
"Show your face, coward!" Aviel Kyokoku called out as he looked through the darkened hallways, having gotten loose from the earlier rope-claw trap. However, his assailant had sabotaged the electrical circuit to the hallway lights, making it hard for any normal person to see what was going on...
("So what do we do now?")
("When he reaches the intersection, throw your weapon; I'll follow up.")
("Got it, Batman.")
Sure enough, when Kyokoku reached the intersection, he saw a large shuriken hurling towards him, barely managing to duck in time! But then a jug of holy water flew out of the darkness and shattered all over him, the redhead promptly engulfed in flames, screaming in pain! Batman then shot his grapple gun, and reeled him over, sweeping his feet from under him and giving him a two-fisted smash to the face, slamming Kyokoku into the floor!
"Gah!" the vice president grunted as Batman's hand closed around his throat, most of his shirt having been burned off. "What... are you...?!"
"I'm Batman. And your plans to take over Lastation via corporatocracy is dust," the dark knight growled. "The fact that holy water had an effect on you proves you're a vampire..."
"Is that so..." Aviel grunted. "Then this facade will serve me no longer!" Immediately his form was engulfed in 1s and 0s, fading to reveal a masked vampire with pale skin and a blood-red cape! He then grabbed Batman's arm and easily threw him off, rising back to his feet. "Behold my true form, Myotismon!" He then sensed something behind him, easily ducking Steamax's jump kick. "You'll have to do much better than that, machine!"
"The name is Steamax," the purple cyborg responded coolly, holding out a hand and recalling his giant shuriken.
"Why should I bother to remember that when you're about to die?" Myotismon said dismissively. "Let's see if you can handle your namesake, Bat-man! Night Raid!" He conjured a flock of bats which flew straight at the duo, who promptly split up and ducked into the adjacent hallways, avoiding the brunt of the attack. "Oh, now that I'm fighting back, you flee like cowards?"
"We attack from the shadows!" Steamax asserted, his giant throwing star spinning out of the left hallway and arching towards Myotismon, who easily ducked to the side. A Batarang then came out of the right hallway, the vampire easily catching it with one hand and tossing it away.
"Pathetic. Is that all you've got?" Myotismon scoffed as he entered the intersection, keeping his head on a swivel... sure enough, Batman's grappling hook shot out, only for the Digimon to catch it and pull, sending Batman hurtling towards him instead! The caped crusader just managed to spin out of the way of Myotismon's punch, attempting to clothesline the vampire in retaliation, but the Digimon simply grabbed his outstretched arm and slammed him into the floor. "Hmph, you're clearly just a human in costume. To think someone like you put me on the back foot, even for a moment..." He then perceived Steamax trying to sneak up on him... "Bloody Stream!" he intoned, materializing a stream of red energy that he wielded like a whip, catching the cyborg ninja by the leg and hurling him over himself and down the hallway, tumbling a fair distance. However, this gave Batman just enough time to recover and roll away, dropping a smoke pellet that obscured the immediate surroundings! (cough)"Worthless parlor tricks!" Myotismon grunted, only for the dark knight to elbow him in the nose, then lay into him a series of jabs and hooks-
-but Myotismon managed to catch Batman's fist in his hand. "Hmph, you have skill, but no power behind it. Blood Punch!" the vampire retaliated with his own fisticuffs, Batman nearly keeling over from the powerful blows, a final straight sending him tumbling backwards and crashing into Steamax. "Now for your demise! Night Raid!" He sent his bats to destroy the fallen duo...
"Protect Wave!" But a shield made of clear white hexagons managed to blunt the attack!
"What?!" Myotismon gasped, seeing two figures appear from the darkness. "...Ah, Sistermons. I might have known," he said in mild irritation.
"Are you okay?!" Sistermon Blanc said to Batman and Steamax, promptly casting a healing spell.
"Your timing is impeccable, Sisters," Steamax grunted as he and Batman slowly regained their feet.
"Go ahead and get out of here!" Sistermon Noir said as she cocked her Anthony guns. "We'll take it from here!"
"Then we'll go search for Vlad Paler," Batman suggested. "Let's go, Steamax."
"Right. Good luck, Sisters!" Steamax said as he and Batman retreated.
"...A Champion and a Rookie? Against an Ultimate-level? Is this supposed to be a joke?" Myotismon scoffed.
"Don't underestimate us! We're disciples of the Royal Knight Gankoomon himself!" Noir proclaimed.
"Y-yeah, what Noir said!" Blanc said, putting on a brave face.
"Is that so? Then maybe you'll make this interesting..." the vampire Digimon smirked sinisterly.
*Back on the ground floor...*
Gold Form K-Sha was gasping for air as she flew down a hallway, a literal wall of stone closing in on her rapidly... seeing a three-way junction up ahead, she managed to turn into the right hallway... but her weapons apparatus wasn't so lucky, getting smashed into a wreck between the stone and the wall! "Damn it!" she cursed.
"You had me scared for a moment there, but your 'golden' power clearly still pales in comparison to myself," AB's voice could be heard getting closer. "My lord won't even have to dirty his hands with you..."
(I've got one last chance!) K-Sha thought as she pulled out a jug of holy water. (Hopefully this at least distracts her enough for me to escape...!) As soon, as she saw the first folds of the vampire's signature dress appear she hurled the container with all her might, smashing into AB's face and spilling it's contents all over her...
...but there was no purifying flame. "And what was that supposed to be?" AB sniffed, nonchalantly flicking some water out of her hair.
(It... it didn't work?!) K-Sha went blue with shock. "But you're a vampire...!" her voice came out barely above a whisper.
"I am a True Ancestor," AB proclaimed. "If that was supposed to be holy water, I'm far too strong for that to affect me..." In an instant, she'd slammed the Gold Third member to the floor by the throat. "No more games. Time to die," she said as her claws extended, ready to impale the schoolgirl's torso-
"Byakusai!" "Burn Flame!" A thrown dagger stabbed into the blonde's upraised arm, a steam of fire hitting her in the face a moment later! AB cried out in pain, loosening her grip just enough for K-Sha to wrest herself free and fly down the hallway, going between then behind Sistermon Ciel and Bao Hackmon. "Sorry we're late!" the latter apologized.
"I don't care; I'll take whatever reinforcements I can get!" K-Sha gasped in relief, having seen her life flash before her eyes.
"A nun and an armored puppy? Hmph, nothing more than trash to be kicked aside," AB said with clear disdain.
"Oh yeah? You're the trash, letting your chest hang out like that!" Hackmon shot back. "At least Ciel knows how to be modest!"
"It is not 'hanging out'," AB rebuffed the Digimon. "Those fake goddesses have far skimpier clothing than I!"
"Fake? Lady Noire is as genuine a goddess as I have ever met!" Ciel said in mild anger.
"That's right! Noire is the best; you can't hold a candle to her!" K-Sha piled on.
"Spoken like those who know not the power of a True Ancestor," AB sniffed. "Allow me to enlighten you!" She raised her hand to attack, but Ciel was faster, unsheathing her blade and dashing at the vampire, who barely dodged the slash. "A sword, is it? Very well." AB suddenly materialized a translucent sword of her own, wielding it telekinetically to clash against her foe's White Clover Blade!
"You fell for it!" Ciel grinned. "Digivolve to Pandamon!" In a flash of light, she had transformed into her Ultimate form! "Sasa Punch!" she intoned, striking with a right straight that knocked the blonde off her feet!
"Oh, how very clever of you," AB snarked as she rolled away from the follow-up blow. "But you still have no idea who you're dealing with!" A sudden blizzard whipped up, Pandamon crying out as she was encased in a thick layer of ice! Bao Hackmon breathed flames on his partner to try and thaw her out, weakening the ice enough for Pandamon to break out. Hackmon then charged the vampire, jumping to attempt a Dragless Spiker with his leg blades, only to be deflected by AB's sword- but he rolled backward and came up on his feet, unleashing another Burn Flame to the face! "Gah! Annoyance!" AB yelled, before getting knocked off her feet by another Sasa Punch from Pandamon!
"Time to change tactics," Ciel said as she reverted her evolution, before intoning, "Awakening!", being engulfed in light.
"What's this?" AB said as the light faded, noting how little Ciel had changed this time. "I am not impressed," she sighed as her sword moved to slice her foe- but Ciel's blade was suddenly lodged in her shoulder, causing the True Ancestor to cry out in pain! "What-?!"
"Too slow!" Ciel taunted, slashing at lightning speed, blood flying as several cuts appeared on the vampire's dress and gloves! Bao Hackmon then tried to follow up with a Teen Blade, only to be deflected by AB's sword.
"My turn!" K-Sha yelled as she opened fire with her guns, Hackmon pressing himself to the floor while Ciel flash-stepped out of the line of fire, AB crying out as several bullets ripped through her body! "So much for your True Anscestor power!"
"ENOUGH!" AB roared, a wave of force pushing her opponents far back. She then took a deep breath, her wounds rapidly healing, even the tears in her dress being repaired.
"What the- how'd she just heal like that?!" Bao Hackmon gaped in disbelief.
"Hmph. As a reward for causing me to slightly underestimate you, I'll let you in on a secret... we True Anscestors draw our power from the very planet itself! Which means unless you have the power to destroy the world, you can never destroy me..."
"That's...that's cheating!" K-Sha said in horror and disbelief.
"I merely state facts," AB chuckled. "Now then... I do believe playtime is over." With that, she waved her hand, the floor cracking open, a wave of magma suddenly appearing and bearing down on the heroes!
"RUN!" Hackmon cried as he turned tail.
"Retreat! Retreat!" K-Sha cried in panic as she flew down the hall as fast as she could, Awakened Ciel easily keeping pace with the others as they fled for their lives...
*Parking Lot*
The last of the workers had just departed when Black Heart and Black Sister saw a silver blur crashing out of one of the ground floor windows, revealed to be Bao Hackmon, K-Sha and Ciel jumping out soon after! A few seconds later, said window and the wall around it was engulfed in flames, before being consumed by the magma wave, which poured out onto the asphalt and rapidly cooled.
"K-Sha? What happened?!" Noire flew down to her friend in concern.
"Noire..." the Gold Third member gasped as her transformation reverted. "That AB... She's a monster...!"
"Yeah, I thought we'd hurt her, but she just healed right up and sent that lava at us!" Hackmon appended.
"She can conjure LAVA? Okay, that's really bad," Uni said grimly, pointing her rifle at the hole in the wall. Soon enough, AB nonchalantly strode out, having lit a cigarette and taking a drag as she observed the goddesses in the sky.
"Guess we're going to have to handle this ourselves, then," Black Heart said as she summoned her zweihander. "Get to the ground so she doesn't shoot us down with lightning!"
"Right!" Black Sister nodded as she touched down on the pavement, her sister following suit.
"I'm not out of the fight yet," Ciel said as she joined them, Bao Hackmon running to her side as well.
"How cute. You think your so-called goddesses will tip the scales for you?" AB taunted as she blew smoke. "When I'm though with you, your citizens will be worshipping ME instead."
"We'll see about that!" Black Sister shot back defiantly, all taking battle poses.
To be continued...
A/N: Well, this isn't good... can Noire and co. overcome AB's massive planetary power? And what has become of Sistermon Noir and Blanc against Myotismon? Stay tuned!
