Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Power Rangers: Digital ❯ The big chase. ( Chapter 16 )

Author's notes:

 

Hi everyone, Mykan here again…

 

In case nobody noticed, I had to change the teaser in the previous episode.

 

Also, it looks like there's going to be more than 20 episodes after all, but we're getting there. So just bare with me.

 

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

 

Everyone barely got any sleep that night. Their minds were too focused on what to do about Shadow-Omnimon. The rangers even had a nightmare or two about Shadow-Omnimon blowing up all their friends and loved ones in a thunderous blast…

 

Then they would wake up, and realize that all was still well, at least for now. Still, this didn't really help them much with their school day either.

 

Davis fell asleep, and got a lunch detention.

 

TK was barley able to pass, throw or dribble the basketballs in gym too well due to his lack of sleep, and stress holding him back.

 

Kari accidentally wrote her history-essay on sleep when it was supposed to be about the Feudal-Ages of early Japan.

 

Yolei had it worst. She was barley able to concrete on her clay-molding, and her sculpture of what was supposed to be the Statue of Liberty turned out to be a disfigured, fat woman holding up a bent rod instead of a torch.

 

Yolei never felt so embarrassed before.

 

Ken and Cody seemed to be the only ones who didn't let their drowsiness affect their school work. By the end of the day, after some coffee and walking around everyone finally woke up.

 

Sad to say, that even after all that, they were still worrying about Shadow-Omnimon. IT was even worse when they all met at Izzy's place, along with Tai's gang, and they found that they were still just roaming around in circles.

 

“Man… how hard can it be to come up with one stupid idea?” Tai asked irritably.

 

“We have got ideas, Tai. They just haven't worked out good.” Izzy said, bunch to the others dismay. “It was a rhetorical question.” Tai muttered.

 

Agumon told everyone that he had been thinking, “And I still say we ought to try talking to Shadow-Omnimon.” he said, but as he expected the others didn't quite think on the same page as him. “Well think about it…” replied Agumon. “It might just work.”

 

“Might?” Davis said. “Excuse me, but didn't just yesterday that overgrown tin-can prove that all he cares about is gaining power; By thrashing, and throwing us about like a bunch of old rag dolls?!”

 

“Davis is right.” Ken said. “Well, not about the rag doll bit… but I don't think he's one guy to be reasoned with.”

 

Yolei agreed with her boyfriend there. “Besides…” she said. “You saw his email last night. If we try to go after him again, he promised to get us for good.”

 

TK could feel his hatred towards evil creatures rising again. “No!” he suddenly said. “We won't let that happen. We're going to find some way to beat him. One way or another, we're going to get him.”

 

“Easy TK…” said Patamon. “You won't be able to think straight when you're this mad.”

 

TK sat back down and breathed deeply. “You're right. I'm sorry.” he said. “But there has to be something we can do.”

 

So far, none of their theories had proven to work too well. Their zords and regular attacks had barley been able to damage Shadow-Omnimon, and now that they had seen his awesome hidden power to grown and increase his strength, it was clear to see now that all those ideas weren't going to work a second time.

 

They even ran things through Izzy's virtual-simulator, and against Shadow-Omnimon's grown body, even their Super Megazord wouldn't be enough.

 

“This is starting to look hopeless.” Sora said. “How could Lockhart have created something so powerful?”

 

Biyomon began to explain it, “Well for starters, he took two cards, popped them into his monster machine which multiplied its strength, and brought it to life… “

 

“Biyomon?!” snapped Matt. “We weren't really asking; shesh.”

 

Izzy however took notice on some things Biyomon had said. “Monster-machine…? Multiply power?” he thought deeply. Then suddenly, he almost felt like the stupidest genius in the world for not seeing it before. “Guys… I think I've got it.”

 

Everyone looked up in confusion. “What? What have you got?” asked Tai.

 

“I just got a real crazy idea…” replied Izzy. “Maybe it'll work, and maybe it won't.”

 

“Please, Izzy, don't keep us in suspense.” cried Tentomon. The others all nodded in agreement, with straight expressions on their faces too. So Izzy explained to him the best he could…

 

He told them that if Lockhart's machine had the power to fuse and multiply the powers of any Digimon that went through it, then perhaps they could use it to their own advantage. “If we can just copy the technology, and program it right, we can gain the upper hand.”

 

Everyone began to agree that was a good idea, “Except for just one little problem…” Davis cut in. “The machine was totally blown to bits when Shadow-Omnimon came out of it.”

 

Everyone suddenly began to lose their hopes again. “That was our last hope.” cried Gomamon. “Now what are we going to do.”

 

Izzy cleared his throat, “I wasn't finished yet guys…” he said. “Now then… we know that the machine was destroyed badly, but not entirely.” He showed them images taken from the first day Shadow-Omnimon was created; when the machine overloaded, it did go out with a bang, but it left behind bits and pieces of what it once was… including, wires, and system-circuit panels.

 

“Wait a minute here!” Yolei said. “Are you saying we have to go back to the mountains and gather up all that stuff?”

 

Izzy nodded, and said. “That's exactly what I'm saying. I'll contact Gennai, and we'll start setting things up at his palace. If you can gather up enough pieces, we just may have a chance to work things out.

 

The rangers and the DD didn't know what to think. “There a huge Digimon creep out there who's threatened to kill us and you want us to head right into the Digital-World, into the lion's den?” Tai asked.

 

“There's no other way right now.” Izzy said. “Now are you in or not?”

 

As expected, Davis was the first to stand up. “I'm going for it.” he said.

 

“Me too.” added TK.

 

Soon all the rangers agreed to go, and Mimi and Sora agreed to go so their Digimon could help with heavier equipment. “All right lets go, we haven't much time.” Palemon said.

 

“All right…” Davis said. “DIGI PORT OPEN!!” then he and his team warped to the Digital-World. As soon as they were gone, the rest of the gang had warped to Gennai's palace to begin preparations for the long project that slay before them.

 

“Gennai, are the portals all aligned?” Tai asked.

 

Gennai nodded. “Once the others have collected the machine bits, they will be able to take them through the nearest Digital portal and come straight into the palace.” he said, “For now, all we can do is continue to await their return, and hope that they are not discovered.”

 

Everyone else was hoping the same thing. Knowing Shadow-Omnimon, if he knew they were in the Digital world and still trying to figure out how to beat him… who knew what nasty things he would do?

 

Meanwhile…

 

So many areas of the Digital world had been brutally beaten through, or destroyed by Shadow-Omnimon. The plant life was looking grim, the waters were becoming polluted, and even the air was starting to look different in color.

 

Many Digimon had already been deleted, and some were lying dead on the ground and disappearing very slowly. In the midst of all the sad sights, many Digimon were trying to flee for their lives, but Shadow-Omnimon was hot on their tails.

 

“Come back here and fight!” he shouted, but all the Digimon wouldn't even look back. “Fine then… DARKNESS-CANNON!!”

 

KAPOW!! Shadow-Omnimon blew nearly all of them up in that one shot. Only one Digimon survived the blast, only barely, but he was very badly injured and lying on the ground. Shadow-Omnimon didn't care if he was already down…

 

He moved closer to the fallen creature with his Doomsday-Sword already out. “You are too weak to deserve to exist! GOODBYE!!” then BAM!! The Digimon was skewered, and gone.

 

Shadow-Omnimon retracted his blade, and began to trek through the wastelands he had created. Suddenly, despite the fact he didn't have a nose, he began to smell something over the distance. “What is that?” he sneered to himself. “I'd know that smell anywhere.” His eyes flared red with anger, and he stormed off fast.

 

Meanwhile…

 

The rangers, and their allies had landed just near the site of where they first met Shadow-Omnimon after he was created, and as they worked they all took a moment to gaze around them at all the wastelands, and wreckages of what was once a beautiful Digimon village. The rangers couldn't help but feel that they were responsible for what happened.

 

“If only we were able to beat Shadow-Omnimon, this never would've happened.” Yolei said in lament. Ken put a comforting arm on his girlfriend's shoulder. “Don't worry, Yolei.” he said comfortingly, “We'll find a way.”

 

“Ken's right Yolei.” added Aquilamon. “Remember… we've never let any adversary get the better of us before; why should this one be any different?”

 

Ken, and Stingmon nodded, and Yolei began to feel a little better. “Uh, excuse me.” Davis called. “I hate to interrupt but can we just get to work and get out of here already?!”

 

Seeing as how time was tight, they Digivolved their Digimon, and flew up to the mountains where bits of the army's old monster machine lay in wreckage. “All right… lets get grabbing.” said Ex-Veemon.

 

At once, the team began to carefully pick up what little things they could. Frayed wires, control units, Garudamon, Lillymon, and the two angels Digimon helped to lift up the huge hull of the machine.

 

“Gee…!” groaned Lillymon. “For a hollow machine, this thing sure is heavy.”

 

“Uhn… I know what you… ugh… mean!” added Angemon.

 

Nevertheless, they were able to successfully lift the huge hull all the way over to the TV, warp with it to Gennai's palace and then come back out for more.

 

Back and forth, the team kept gathering as much as they could. “Do you really think Izzy can perform a Miracle with all this… junk?” Anyklomon said as he balanced the large pile of things on his back.

 

“Well, maybe if we ask Azulongmon to help it'll work more smoothly.” Cody said. “I can't wait to see what this looks like when it's done.”

 

“Me too…” TK said.

 

“Me three.” added Kari.

 

Davis couldn't help but snigger cheekily. “That overgrown tin-platted freak, Shadow-Omnimon won't know what hit him.” He looked up, and that's when he noticed everyone was staring with their eyes wide, and their jaws hanging low. “What…?” he asked.

 

Ex-Veemon pointed up and behind. “Uh, you might want to take that taunt of yours back.” he said.

 

“Huh?” Davis said as he looked behind him, and he saw Shadow-Omnimon standing a little ways behind him. “Uh… oh…!”

 

Shadow-Omnimon hadn't heard Davis' remark, thank goodness, but he was looking indeed very angry. “So, you all chose not heed my warning.” he said deeply. “I warned you all specifically to stay outside of this world and out of my sights.”

 

Davis recaptured his bravery, and stared right back at Shadow-Omnimon with a straight face. “Oh yeah…? Well I got news for you pal, just like you, we don't take orders from anyone.”

 

“That's right…” Kari said. “The Digital world is for everyone, and not just strong creatures like you.”

 

“We're back and ready to take you on again!” snapped Ken.

 

Shadow-Omnimon folded his arms. “Your words mean nothing to me. You chose not to heed my warning, and now you shall pay dearly for your foolish attempts to prove what you know in power.”

 

“That's what you think.” Davis snapped. “Ready, guys?” he called to the other rangers. “READY!!” the others answered.

 

Sora and Mimi were shocked. If the rangers knew very well they couldn't beat Shadow-Omnimon, then why were they trying to now? “I smell something funny.” Sora whispered to Mimi.

 

“LET'S GO… DIGITAL!!” the rangers morphed. “KAISER POWER!!” and Ken morphed too. Finally, the rangers called upon their Digimon and changed them into their Digi-Cycles.

 

“All right team… lets do it.” Davis said as the bikes revved up and they all began to charge towards Shadow-Omnimon, who drew out his sword ready for the kill. “Try me!” he growled as he lunged forward…

 

“Now, guys…!” Davis called to the others, and the all dashed off in different directions causing Shadow-Omnimon to miss his shot. “Even a great and powerful attack can't do anything if it misses.” Davis taunted.

 

It was bad enough that Shadow-Omnimon knew he had been outsmarted, but that last remark made him take off in a rage to chase down the rangers. “You can't run from me forever!” he snarled. “I will destroy you all!”

 

Sora, Mimi and their Digimon watched as the rangers continued to speed all over the place on the Digi-cycles, dodging Shadow-Omnimon, leaping over him and keeping him in the chase. “Hey, wait a minute.” said Garudamon. “Girls, this is our chance.” She said to the others.

 

The girls suddenly caught on that the rangers were actually trying to distract Shadow-Omnimon, so that they could finish loading the last of the machine bits over to the warp-portal. So they quickly hoped back to work…

 

“DARKNESS-CANNON!!”

 

Shadow-Omnimon fired his shot but Yolei swerved her Hawkmon-bike around a sharp corner, evading the blast. “Missed me!” she mocked before roaming out of sight.

 

“What's the matter, tine-head? Losing your grip?” Davis called as he came into view, and this time, Shadow-Omnimon had heard him. “I'll make you wish you hadn't said that, Ranger!” he roared as he drew out his sword.

 

For a good long while, the rangers had managed to keep Shadow-Omnimon distracted, but the Digi-cycles were starting to grow weary from all the speeding and skidding they did.

 

“TK…” his Patamon-bike said. “I can't hold up my cycle-form much longer.”

 

“I'm starting to get soft wheels too.” added Kari's Gatomon-bike.

 

“Easy guys, just a little longer.” Cody said to all the bikes.

 

“I just do get it.” cried Ken. “Doesn't this guy ever get tired?” but as he looked behind him at Shadow-Omnimon, who was charging like an angry rhino, “I don't think he does Ken…” his Wormon-bike said.

 

Finally, Garudamon and Lilymon hollered to the others that the last of the parts had been transported. “Come on… let's get out of here!” cried Mimi. Then she, Sora, and their Digimon disappeared back through the portal.

 

TK and Davis were still keeping Shadow-Omnimon on the chase. “You guys go first!” Davis called. “We'll follow you.” added TK.

 

The rangers and their bikes agreed. Then they headed for the portal, and disappeared, but Davis and TK had the hardest part now. They had to get through the portal, but they had to make sure that Shadow-Omnimon wasn't close behind; otherwise, they would end up bringing him through the portal with them.

 

Unfortunately, the energies of both their Digi-Cycles were past the critical point. Anymore powerful moves and they would change back to Veemon and Patamon. “We need to find a way to hold him down!” called Davis.

 

TK looked around, as he eyed the cliffs overhead. “I have an idea.” he said. “Come this way.”

 

Davis, his Veemon-bike, even TK's Patamon-Bike were confused. “I can't believe I'm going to do this; take advice from TK.” Davis muttered. Then the two rangers parked their bikes together directly under the cliffs.

 

“What are we shupposed to be doing here?” Veemon-bike asked.

 

“Shh… just trust Me.” whispered TK.

 

Shadow-Omnimon seemed out of breath from all his chasing, but he now believing he had the boys right where he wanted them, was acting most pleased with himself. “Hmm, mm… now isn't this a shame?” he said. “You gave it your best, but unfortunately your best wasn't enough, was it?”

 

He poised his cannon ready to fire. “Okay TK… any time now.” Davis whispered impatiently. “Okay, get ready to break for it.” TK told them.

 

“DARKNESS-CANNON!!”

 

“NOW…!” TK shouted, and with that. He and Davis took off on their bikes before the blast reach them, and accidentally shot the mountainside. This caused the cliffs above to break off and start a huge avalanche!

 

“WHAT?!” growled Shadow-Omnimon. He looked back to see Davis and TKJ vanish through the portal as the rocks began to fall all over him. “OOH…THEY TRICKED ME!!”

 

Meanwhile…

 

Everyone had made it back to Gennai's palace safe a sound, and with all the necessary parts Izzy needed to begin the next bit of the project; Studying the technology, and try to use the machine to their own advantage.

 

Davis however couldn't believe that it was TK who thought up the escape plan. “Dude… I got to admit, you had me impressed.” he said.

 

TK smirked. “It was easy. All Shadow-Omnimon believe in is power, but there goes an old saying. “Without Strategy, power is only an empty threat.”

 

Kari was most impressed to hear Davis say that he was feeling humbled by TK, for once. “Who are you, and what have you done to Davis?” she asked playfully, and they engaged in a little playful wrestle. Still… this was no time to be rejoicing. They had loads of work ahead of them, and the others.

 

The knew that the avalanche couldn't possibly have had finished Shadow-Omnimon. If anything, it probably made him madder than ever. Who knew what he was going to do, or who he'd hurt next?

 

He had to be stopped. He just had to be; somehow…

 

“NEXT TIME ON POWER RANGERS DIGITAL”

 

As the Rangers and the Digidestined work on their project, they are shocked to learn of a terrible truth.

 

“He's in our world.”

 

“Shadow-Omnimon? In OUR world?!”

 

Shadow-Omnimon has indeed escaped to the real-world, and plans to waste no effort in seizing total control.

 

“I am the new ruler of this world. The master of Humans, and Digimon alike.”

 

Realizing critical satiation, the rangers have no choice but to take on Shadow-Omnimon until Izzy and the others complete the machine.

 

(Rangers get pulverized)

 

“I sure hope this works, or we're all finished.”

 

Will Izzy's project be completed in time? Can the rangers last that long in a fight so incredibly difficult?
