Chapter 5: The Titanium Warrior

The new Digimon had gained quite an audience after saving Davis's life. Everyone, including the Skull Meramon looked at it in awe. The metallic Digimon was about 8 feet tall and was completely covered in some sort of metal, with the exception of the eyes and the mouth. Davis looked into the Digimon's eyes and saw something familiar in them. Like he knew the Digimon.
"Flamedramon?" Davis asked.
"You're close Davis. I am Titan Flamedramon, a metallic warrior Digimon. I am Flamedramon's Ultimate form. My armor is made from pure Titatium, the strongest metal in the known universe. I retain my Dragon Fire from Flamedramon, only now it's as hot as the hottest star in space(A/N: It's not the sun). My other attacks include the devastating Titanium Blast, which decimate my enemies," the new Digimon responded.
Titan Flamedramon's armor was the same color as the light that came from Davis's D2. Davis noticed that immediately.
"Hey, the color of your armor is the same color as the light that came from my D3," Davis said.
"That's right Davis. That was the light of your determination. Your determination helped me to Digivolve to my Ultimate form as you see now," Titan Flamedramon said. He looked to the Skull Meramon. "Now it's time to bid you adieu." He flew into the air above the Digidestined and their Digimon and faced the Skull Meramon.
"You might have become an Ultimate, but you are no match for us," the Skull Meramon said. "Metal Fireball!" they shouted, combining their attacks.
The combined attack headed towards Titan Flamedramon. Titan Flamedramon just stood there. The attack made impact. But when the smoke cleared, Titan Flamedramon was still where he stood and he didn't have a scratch or burn mark on him.
"No way. How could you survive our three combined attacks?" the Skull Meramon asked fearfully.
"I told you that Titanium is the strongest metal in the known universe. It is just about indestructible. Now to show you the power of Titanium," Titan Flamedramon responded.
Golden-orange energy began to glow in his spread out armored wings. A few moments later, he had gathered the energy required.
"Titanium Blast!" Titan Flamedramon shouted, giving one flap of his wings in the direction of the Skull Meramon.
Two of the Skull Meramon was hit. The attack not only destroyed their dark spirals, but it destroyed them too. They burst apart into data. The remaining Skull Meramon looked at Titan Flamedramon in fear.
"He destroyed those two Skull Meramon with just one attack," Davis said in awe.
"Yeah. I guess he did show us the power of Titanium," Cody said in awe.
"So, do you want to test me?" Titan Flamedramon asked the remaining Skull Meramon.
The Skull Meramon had something else in mind however. He turned toward the Digidestined and their weakened Digimon. "Metal Fireball!" he shouted.
"Not so fast! Titanium Shield!" Titan Flamedramon shouted as he put his hands into an upside down V position.
The Digidestined and their Digimon waited for the attack to hit, but it never did. They opened their eyes to see a golden-orange pyramid-shaped force field over them.
"Are you guys okay?" Titan Flamedramon asked.
"We are now thanks to you," Kari responded.
"What is this thing anyway?" Armadillomon asked.
"That is my Titanium Shield," Titan Flamedramon responded. "Now to finish you," he said towards the Skull Meramon. He held his hand out, palm face up.
"A small, round golden-orange fireball appeared in his hand. Then it doubled in size and strength.
"I hope you have any last words. Titanium Bomb!" he said, throwing the bomb at the frightened Digimon.
The bomb exploded on contact with Skull Meramon. The explosion obliterated Skull Meramon to data that quickly disappeared. Titan Flamedramon landed and removed his Titanium Shield.
"You're awesome," Davis said.
"Why thank you Davis," Titan Flamedramon said smiling. "TK, Kari, I believe it's safe enough to tell us your stories now," he added.
"Okay Titan Flamedramon. You might want to sit down everyone because this is a long story," TK said.
Everyone agreed and sat down.
"Okay, first thing is first. Kari and I knew Skull Meramon because Tai, Sora and Mimi faced one while we searched for Kari. They told me, Izzy, Joe and Matt the whole story. It was four years ago when we looked for the 8th child, who was Kari. One day, we had a strong heat wave. We split up to cover mroe ground.
Sora and Mimi went into the mall for two reasons. One was to get a better look at the town from the top floor. The other was Mimi's hidden motive, which was to get in the air condition. Then what appeared to be a man in a trench coat appeared appeared in the mall. Mimi made a bad comment about the coat, and what looked like a man turned out to be Skull Meramon.
Even though Palmon became Togemon, and Biyomon became Birdramon, they weren't enough to handle Skull Meramon. Luckily for them, Tai was nearby. The Skull Meramon had melted one of the towers on the mall roof, and Tai rushed there as fast as he could. He had Agumon Digivolve all the way to Metal Greymon. A small battle ensued, but Metal Greymon ended up victorious as that Skull Meramon turned into data," TK said.
"And now, I'll give you my story. Like I told you, Gatomon could become Ultimate. It happened during our battle with Myotismon. Gatomon and I were between a rock and a hard place because Myotismon had my crest and Digivice. Metal Greymon helped get my crest back to me, but Myotismon's flunky Demidevimon caught my Digivice as Tai threw it to me.
Then Myotismon prepared to kill Gatomon and me with his Crimson Lightning(A/N: Or was it his Nightmare Claw? If I need to be corrected here, please correct me). Gatomon's old friend Wizardmon got in front of us and took the blast himself to save us. We were devastated. Then I became determined to make Myotismon pay for killing our friend. My Digivice glowed.
Demidevimon couldn't handle it and dropped it right into Tai's hand. He threw it to me, allowing Gatomon to Digivolve. She became an angel, which really surprised me. Gatomon's Ultimate form is called Angewomon. With the help of the other Digimon, she was able to gather energy through her Heaven's Charm attack which stunned Myotismon before he could unleash a Nightmare Claw attack. Then she used her Celestial Arrow to temporarily subdue Myotismon," Kari said.
"What do you mean by that?" Cody asked.
"We thought that Myotismon was defeated. But the truth was that he was involved in a prophecy. I don't want to say the profecy word by word so I'll summarize it. It basically said that at 666, the beast would come, and the powers of hope and light would bring forth a miracle.
We figured out that 666 meant 6:06 and 6 seconds. When that time hit, we soon saw what the prophecy meant by the beast. Myotismon had returned, but as Venom Myotismon. We then figured out that the powers of hope and light mean Angemon and Angewomon. Angemon and Angewomon shot Matt and Tai with their arrows, which allowed Agumon and Gabumon to their Mega forms: WarGreymon and Metal Garurumon.
Then a battle took place. Venom Myotismon, WarGreymon and Metal Garurumon stood even as far as power so they didn't really get anywhere. Our other Digimon tried to help, but they were only Ultimate levels, which really didn't do too much because our Ultimate-level Digimon had a tough time with Myotismon as an Ultimate himself.
Before the battle ended, we found out what the true beast part of the prophecy meant. Venom Myotismon had a separate being in his groin, which was pretty gross let me tell you. Metal Garurumon passed WarGreymon a large downed turbine, which Metal Greymon kicked into the beast figure. Then they destroyed Venom Myotismon with Nova Force and Giga Missile attacks," Kari responded.
"You're right. That was a long story. Take a look at the Digimon," Davis said.
The others looked at the Digimon. The Digimon except for Titan Flamedramon and Stingmon were fast asleep.
"I guess our story was too much for them to stay awake through. They're still pretty weak. Stingmon was wise to stay out of the fight since he has to charge in to do his attack," TK said. "Let's stay here for a while until they get their strength back."
The others nodded. Titan Flamedramon got up and helped Davis stand.
"Thanks. It's usually hard to stand up when you sit for a long time," Davis said.
"No problem," Titan Flamedramon said.
"Where are you going?" Yolie asked.
"Titan Flamedramon wants to go flying and wants me to come along with him. If you're ready to return to the Real World before we get back, just send me an email," Davis responded.
"Okay," Cody said.
Titan Flamedramon scooped up Davis and flew off. Davis noticed that Titan Flamedramon flew more gracefully than he did as Flamedramon, which was pretty graceful anyway. Titan Flamedramon just cruised through the air. Meanwhile one of the emperor's secret cameras picked up the two. Ken looked at the monitor and was amazed the moment he laid eyes on the new Digimon.
"Who is that Digimon, and why does it look so familiar?" Ken wondered. He continued to watch.
Half an hour later, Davis got an email. The email said that they were ready to return to the Real World.
"Well we better head back Titan Flamedramon," Davis said.
"All right," Titan Flamedramon said. He flew back to where the others were, and they all returned to the Real World.
"So that's why that Digimon looked familiar. That must be Flamedramon's Ultimate form. He looks very powerful too. I'll have to get more powerful Digimon to face him because I'm no longer getting a signal from the Skull Meramon. He must have destroyed them as well as the spirals," Ken deducted.
Meanwhile back in the Real World, the Digidestined split to head to their homes. Demiveemon was pretty bummed though. He really liked being in his Armor Ultimate form. Davis saw the look in Demiveemon's eyes and figured out what was wrong.
"Don't worry Demiveemon. If I know Ken well enough, you'll be in your Ultimate form more than you think," Davis said. He didn't know how right he was.
For the Digimon Emperor had managed to get some dark rings on a herd of fifteen Centarumon. These Centarumon always traveled as a herd, which made them a force to reckon with when they attacked together. This was even more so if they felt the need to combine their Solar Ray attacks. The result of this was one mighty beam that could crush almost anything.
Two days later, the older and younger Digidestined went to the Digital World. The older kids' Digimon came to greet them. Things were peaceful for the moment. The Digidestined and their Digimon partners enjoyed it while it lasted. About a few hours later, Davis and Yolie helped the older Digidestined return to the Real World and went back after helping Joe and Mimi back to the Real World. Davis and Yolie returned to find the Digimon except for Veemon and Hawkmon battling a herd of Centarumon and losing.
"Thank goodness you've come back. We need to help our friends," Hawkmon said.
"Right Hawkmon. Let's do it Yolie," Davis said as Yolie nodded.
"Digi Armor Energize!" Davis and Yolie shouted.
"Veemon Armor Digivolve to..."
"Hawkmon Armor Digivolve to..."
"Flamedramon: The Fire of Courage!"
"Halsemon: The Wings of Love!"
Flamedramon spread his wings in a brilliant flash of blue light, and he and Halsemon flew to join the others in battle. The other Digimon saw Flamedramon and Halsemon join in.
"Glad that you could make it," Nefertimon said.
"We didn't know how much longer we could hold up with only three of us," Digimon added. He and the others didn't notice that five of the Centarumon had encircled Davis and Yolie.
"Don't make any sudden moves Yolie. They look ready to attack us if we do," Davis said quietly.
Yolie nodded and remained still. The other ten Centarumon continued their assault on the other Digimon.
"Solar Ray!" five of the Centarumon shouted. They combined their attack as it created as beam that was quarter-mile wide in diameter.
"Everyone, get out of its way!" Pegasusmon shouted.
"I have a better idea. Pegasusmon, Nefertimon, Halsemon, I need the help of your most powerful attacks to help negate the combined attack," Flamedramon said. "Dragon Fire!" he added, shooting it out at full power.
"Got ya Flamedramon. Aquis Beam!" Pegasusmon said.
"Cat's Eye Beam!" Nefertimon shouted.
"Eagle Eye!" Halsemon shouted.
The three attacks combined with Flamedramon's attack, and helped to counter against the combined solar attack. The combined attacks collided with each other and caused a huge explosion. When the smoke cleared, both sides looked unfazed.
"Nice work guys," TK said.
"Yeah. That was good thinking Flamedramon," Nefertimon agreed.
"Actually, it's something Davis told Halsemon and me to do when two Dark Tyrannomon attacked us before," Flamedramon said as Halsemon nodded.
"Speaking of which, where are Davis and Yolie?" Cody asked.
Flamedramon looked around. He soon saw them surrounded by five Centarumon. The Centarumon had them surrounded.
"There's nothing we can do right now. Those Centarumon have them surrounded. One move from us, Davis or Yolie, and those Centarumon will open fire. Davis and Yolie are safe for now. Let's just hope neither of them move," Flamedramon said.
In the distraction, the ten Centarumon gathered together. "Solar Ray!" they shouted.
The combined attack was now a mile wide. Nefertimon turned in time to see it.
"We can't negate their attack this time. It's too wide," she said.
"Now let's get out of its way," Pegasusmon said. He, Nefertimon, Halsemon and Flamedramon flew out of the much wider and more powerful attack.
The combined Solar Ray was so powerfull, that the heat blew the Digimon away.
'That was just the ten of them. If all fifteen were to combine their attacks like that, it could burn an entire village to the ground in a matter of seconds. It's time to take it up a level Flamedramon,' Davis thought.
Flamedramon felt Davis's determination course through him. "Time to free these Digimon." Flamedramon moved towards the Centarumon surrounding Davis and Yolie. "Flamedramon Digivolve to...Titan Flamedramon!"
The Centarumon prepared to fire on Davis and Yolie.
"I don't think so. Titanium Shield!" Titan Flamedramon said.
Davis and Yolie saw the force field over them. It was just in time too because the Centarumon attacked at that moment. The force field protected Davis and Yolie from the combined attack.
"Titan Flamedramon, see if you can get those dark rings off the Centarumon. Be careful that you don't put too much power into your attacks though because we don't want to destroy them," Davis said.
"I'll make sure of that Davis," Titan Flamedramon said. "I know just the way to do it." He made a small golden-orange fireball appear in his opened hand. He kept it small because it had just enough power to knock something unconscious when thrown to the ground near it. "Titanium Bomb!" he shouted before throwing the bomb. He aimed it at the ground in front of the Centarumon.
The bomb exploded when it hit the ground and sent the five Centarumon flying about twenty feet. They went unconscious when hitting the ground.
"Now, remove the rings. I can't do anything else without hurting them," Titan Flamedramon said.
"Right. Do the same with the other Centarumon, and we'll handle the rest," Digmon said.
Titan Flamedramon complied, and Digmon, Halsemon, Pegasusmon and Nefertimon destroyed the dark rings. The Centarumon woke us a few minutes later and looked around in puzzlement.
"How did we get here?" the leader of the herd asked.
"You were under the Digimon Emperor's dark rings," Davis responded.
"Thank you for freeing us. Farewell," the leader said before he and the other Centarumon galloped away.
Titan Flamedramon landed and Dedigivolved back to Veemon. The other Armor Digimon also reverted to their Rookie forms. Miraculously, the area was untouched, even though a lot of heat coursed through it. It was fortunate that the Centarumon aimed in the air or some areas of the forest would've been scorched. The Digimon and their partners just relaxed for the rest of the day.


And that's a wrap on another chapter. Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope that you are enjoying your holiday. Preview for Chapter 6: Friendship's Power: The Digimon Emperor gets more desperate to finish off the Digidestined. He causes two Ultimate Digimon of totally opposite personalities to have an otherwise very unlikely alliance. One of these Digimon has a very good-natured personality while the other Digimon's personality is flat out rotten. You'll want to find out what happens when one of the Digidestined(Not Kari or Davis) becomes their primary target before they target the others.

ShadowGallantmon: I want to continue to thank you. Your source of help helped me to pick a Digimon for this chapter, and two more for Chapter 6.

I also want to thank Lance, who talked to me via Instant Messaging this past Sunday. He gave the suggestion to see Angemon face the Digidestined. This suggestion will be the focal point of Chapter 7, although it will be a dark version of Magna Angemon that the Digidestined have to face and save. So this is a little preview into that chapter.
