Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Ressurection War ❯ APOCALYPSE: Heart of the Digital World ( Chapter 27 )

APOCALYPSE: Heart of the Digital World

This morning, like always, I rub my sleepy eyes

And energetically say "laugh!"

My head feels like it's still in a dream

As I brush my teeth

I wish on a star

That I could use magic

Sometimes I cry

Because it's so vexing

We're not alone in our world

But I have my aspirations

If we stay barefoot, I'm sure we'll be all right

At the top of the Ferris wheel

We're near the sky

That same sky is watching over

Many people

Will today continue tomorrow?

If we wish for it, surely it will

Tomorrow we'll have good weather, and continue into my dreams

Let's make friends with the weather god

Look, if we shake hands, it's like telepathy

Let me see your smile, I'm sure it'll be all right

Tomorrow we'll have good weather, and continue into my dreams

Let's make friends with the weather god

Look, if we shake hands, it's like telepathy

Let me see your smile

It'll always be all right...

“Be All Right” Tk’s theme

Tk removed his hat and ran a hand through his blond hair. He placed a pair of binoculars to his eyes as he propped one knee on a large boulder in front of him. Stretched out before him was a city, well, what was once a city, now only an area of destruction and death. It looked like the city was a derelict from centuries long past, however, the blond-haired young man knew that this city was a functioning metropolis only days before.

He sighed and let the binoculars dangle from his neck. “Anything?”

He shook his head and turned to face a braided-haired girl walking towards him. At her feet was a frog creature, while a pig/bat creature rested on Tk’s head. “No, nothing.”

Tatum walked past him to stare at the desert, barren except for the derelict city. “This is where they saw Devimon digivolve into Ladydevimon.”

“So why are we still here?” Patamon whined, “Ladydevimon left.”

“They don’t know where they went,” Tatum’s Betamon responded, “Then the evil Sora showed up, they completely lost sight of her.”

Patamon yawned. “I’m still tired!”

Tatum glanced at her watch. “He’s right, you know, we’ve been here for hours.”

Tk nodded and turned towards her. “Yeah, I don’t think…” He suddenly shot his head back around. “It’s her!”

The other three focused on the city below and could clearly see a black dot flying out of the dead city. Patamon jumped off of Tk’s head and was enveloped by a bright light.

“Patamon digivolve to Angemon!”

The angel digimon shot towards the city while Tk charged after him. “Tatum, come on!”

The braided-haired girl nodded. Her Betamon digivolved to Sand Yanmamon and flew after Angemon. She took a deep breath and quickly followed.

“Ladydevimon,” she thought, “This is so strange, everything has unraveled so quickly and fast. This whole thing started when the original Digidestined were killed during their fight with Apocalymon. Something happened during that fight, and they were all given a second chance at life by being reincarnated. Kari Kamiya, the sister of Taichi Kamiya, was brought to the Digital World by Geni to fight a threat called the Digimon Emperor. She was given the task of finding the reincarnation of the Digidestined and given the Crest of Courage. Despite repeated attacks by the Digimon Emperor, she found that the reborn Izzy Izumi was Ken Ichijoji, Sora Takenouchi was Yolei Inoe, the Digimon Emperor was Tk Takashi, the reincarnation of Yamato Ishida, and Kari herself was Taichi. They were joined by Cody Hida and Davis Motomiya, non-reincarnated, but Digidestined all the same. The surprised didn’t end there, the Emperor created a digimon called Kimeramon. Davis and Veemon, who armor digivolved to Magnamon and defeated the synthetic digimon. During that battle, Kari defeated the Digimon Emperor and freed him from the Crest of Abandonment, which became the Crest of Friendship. I then finally appeared and gave to Tk the Holy Sword, while Ryo told Kari about the location of her Holy Weapon, the Holy Lances. It was hard for them to believe, but the Digimon Emperor was the least of their worries, Dark SEED was here.

Hiroshi with his Crest of Spirit and partner Penmon, leader of Dark SEED brutally attacked the Digital World in order to destroy the Destiny Stones. One by one the Destiny Stones were destroyed while the Digidestined dealt with the problems of their previous lives, romantic feelings towards each other, especially the love triangle between Kari, Tk and Yolei. Kari, Tk and Davis mastered their Holy Weapons and marched to stop Dark SEED, who had already destroyed all of the Elemental Destiny Stones. They were too late. The seal around the Digital World broke and Myotismon, who had been trapped there for years, broke free. The Digidestined and I apprehended Hiroshi, his servant Yuehon and Myotismon and were bringing them to Geni when we got pulled into another dimension, the Dark Ocean.

Inside, we were joined by Digidestined from another dimension, called Tamers. Takato, Rika and Henry were in the Dark Ocean to stop someone called Oikawa from releasing

D-reaper. Our digimon digivolved to their mega levels, all dragon digimon but D-reaper was released, bonding to a young girl named Jeri, the love interest of Takato. The two sacrificed themselves to stop the

D-reaper once and for all.

When we returned to the Digital World, we were horrified to find that Kimeramon had been reformatted and destroyed the remaining Destiny Stones, turning the Digital World in a dying wasteland. To make matters worse, the Cult of Darkness decreed that Kimeramon was under their protection, and the leaders of the Cult were, all appearances to the contrary, were the original Digidestined! Hiroshi’s Crest of Spirit became the Crest of Fate and Penmon warp digivolved to Pukumon, while Tk’s Crest of Friendship became the Crest of Hope and Patamon warp digivolved to Seraphymon, and Kari’s Crest of Courage changed to the Crest of Light and Plotmon warp digivolved to Ophanimon. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the Devimon portion of Kimeramon separated from the rest, and digivolved to Ladydevimon, while Myotismon teamed up with Kimeramon! I don’t know what villainy is a work here, but I feel it will soon reveal itself, and I fear both worlds may be at risk!”

“Tatum, you still with me?”

She blinked a few times, realizing that Tk was shouting to her. “Sorry, what is it?”

He pointed to the sky. “They’re moving!”

She turned to the sky and watched as her Sand Yanmamon head butted Ladydevimon in the stomach. She lurched back and Angemon took the opening to shoot up from underneath and smash the end of his staff into her chin. She flipped over in the air, but grabbed the same staff and used her momentum to fling Angemon far behind her.

“Angemon!” Tk shouted.

The angel digimon straightened himself and flew back to engage the devil woman. Sand Yanmamon began to flag his wings at a fantastic rate, creating a loud buzzing noise. “Desert Wind!” A fierce gale of sand and arid wind sliced across Ladydevimon’s face. Angemon attacked her in the back with a quick kick. She executed another back-flip, bringing them further away from the airspace over the city.

“Where’s she going?” Tatum questioned.

The two Digidestined ran as fast as they could in order to catch up with the battle. Their partners had stopped over a canyon, very deep and wide. At one time it was no doubt a flowing river, but after the destruction of the Destiny Stone of Water and the northern turtle god Ebonwumon’s Destiny Stone, the rivers and oceans of the Digital World had quickly dried up. This canyon, however, still had a river at the very bottom, not deep, but a river nonetheless.

Ladydevimon suddenly started attacking at full speed. She grabbed Angemon by the blue sash wrapped around his body and pulled down as hard as she could, which sent him smashing into Sand Yanmamon. The devil woman then spun around in the air, striking both digimon multiple times. “Come on!” she laughed, “You aren’t even trying!”

Tk turned to Tatum and reached for his digivice. “Ready?”

She nodded. “Ready.”

The two Digidestined threw their hands into the air as their digivices began to beep and flash with activity. “Now!”

“Angemon digivolve to Magna Angemon!”

“Sand Yanmamon digivolve to Brachiomon!”

The devil woman grinned. “There, that’s better.”

Magna Angemon hovered in the sky while Brachiomon, now lacking in flying power, smashed to the ground. He jutted his giant snout at Ladydevimon. “Brachio Bubbles!’ He opened his mouth and let out a stream of bubbles that smacked her in the face. It did not harm her, but her vision was obscured. Magnaangemon flung around from behind and slash his sword across her back, leaving a deep scar. Surprisingly, she did not counterattack; Magna Angemon grabbed her by the wing and flung her towards his partner. Brachiomon grabbed her with his mouth and threw her into the ground.

“Something’s not right,” Tk said.

“What?” Tatum asked, staring at him strangely.

“She’s not fighting back.”

“That’s just because we’ve got her. Don’t forget, Magna Angemon’s pretty strong, remember?”

Tk did not respond as he turned back to the battle. Brachiomon was now stomping on Ladydevimon with all of his might, and once again, she did not fight back. The dinosaur digimon thought that she had just given up, so he grabbed her with his mouth and flung her to Magna Angemon. “You’re up! Finish her off!”

The angelic digimon ready his glowing sword. Brachiomon flung her high enough to reach him, and he easily slashed across her chest this time. She suddenly began to glow brightly, and shrink down to a smaller form, a fish-like shape.

“Coelamon?” Tk gasped.

“She de-digivolved!” Tatum shouted in surprise.

The other two digimon were shocked into silence and frozen in place as Coelamon bounced and leapt across the desert sand until he jumped into the canyon. Magna Angemon regained his senses and shot after him, but could not reach him before the mysterious digimon fell into the river deep at the base and vanished.

“Coelamon…” Tk said.

Ken raised an eyebrow. “She regressed?

“That’s right,” Tatum said.

Ryo sighed deeply. “This mystery just grows and grows.”

Hiroshi glanced at Tk. “You created him, can’t you tell us anything?”

He glared at him. “I told you, I don’t remember.”

“Maybe there’s some way to make you remember.”

This time, Kari raised an eyebrow. “You have a way?”

He hesitated, then shook his head. “No, not really.”

“We need a plan!” Derek shouted, pacing the floor of Geni’s living room.

“There’s nothing we can do about Devimon slash Ladydevimon slash Coelamon,” Cody said, “Not until we know more about…them.”

“He’s right,” Kari said, “The only thing we can do now is go to Huanglongmon’s Destiny Stone and use it to download the Digital World’s basic programming so when it’s destroyed we can reboot it.” She turned to Ryo. “You know the way, right?”

He nodded. “Of course.”

She smiled and glanced towards the others, “Well, it there isn’t any objections?”

They all shook their heads.

She turned to Ryo, “Well, let’s go.”

----------------------------------------------------

Myoti smon crossed his arms as stood atop one of the many cracking and crumbling mountains that now comprised the Digital World. “The Destiny Stones are gone,” he said,” and with them went all nutrients and energy, the heart and soul of the Digital World, gone. Now, it is doomed to wither and decay, gradually crumbling to dust, and all who are on it will vanish as well.”

He glanced to his cape, which remained still at his side. He frowned. “Even the wind has vanished, how much longer before our air is gone too?”

When he did not receive a reply, he glanced over his shoulder. The massive creature Kimeramon was staring into the dull blue sky. The vampire lord floated over. “What are you looking at?” He followed the synthetic digimon’s gaze and saw a caravan of images flying across the sky. The vampire lord’s eyes shot open. “The Digidestined! Where are they going?”

He turned to Kimeramon and grinned. “What do you say, want to find out?”

---------------------------------------

The journey to the Destiny Stone of Center took the Digidestined a little over an hour, and completely over nothing but the wasteland the Digital World had become. Ken wondered how Ryo could even remember the way, it was like traveling through a desert without any tracking equipment, like a compass. Still he did not have any idea, so he trusted the younger Guardian.

“Are we almost zere?” Catherine asked. She was riding on Airdramon, along with most of the other Digidestined, except for Tk, Yolei and Ryo, who were on Aquillamon.

The Guardian scanned the ground until they passed over a massive rip in the surface of the earth, which could easily be mistaken for the Grand Canyon in America, maybe even larger. “Down there!” he shouted, “It’s down there!”

“You heard him, Aquillamon,” Yolei shouted.

The eagle grunted a reply and dove straight down, with Airdramon trailing directly behind. They continued diving until they could see the flat landscape, surrounded on all sides by the walls of stone. In the center of the rock-covered plain was a massive, perfectly round, floating stone.

“Is that is?” Hiroshi asked.

Ryo nodded. “Yes, that’s the Stone of the Center.”

Ken jumped off of Airdramon and laded perfectly on the ground. He began to examine the stone. “Where exactly are we supposed to download the program of the Digital World?”

Ryo mentioned to the bottom of the stone. “Down there you should find your access point.”

Ken nodded and walked towards the stone. He was suddenly thrown back by a gust of wind. He landed on the ground and skidded directly into Cody and Armadillomon, knocking them over.

The others instantly jumped on guard. “Who’s there?” Tk shouted, “Show yourself!”

Six figures appeared from behind the Destiny Stones. Three were human males, one wearing a blue trench coat, the other wearing a dark indigo coat and the last was wearing an orange trench coat, and three digimon, a monkey digimon with large bat wings, another a hideous devil and the third was an angel draped in black and white.

“The fake Yamato Ishida, Taichi Kamiya, and Koushiro Izumi,” Yolei sneered.

“It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” Yamato laughed.

“What are you doing here?” Kari shouted.

Taichi grinned, “To stop you from downloading the Digital World, of course!”

“There’s no way you’re gonna stop us!” Davis shouted. He nodded to the other Digidestined. “Grab your digivices.”

Demon placed his hands together and caused a massive spiral of flame to erupt from his hands, striking every digimon except for Kari’s Salamon, Hiroshi’s Penmon and Tk’s Patamon.

“What did you do?” Davis demanded, running over to Veemon, who lay burned on the ground.

Yamato stared at Hiroshi with icy blue eyes. “Because, we’re only interested in settling rivalries.”

“That’s right,” Koushiro grinned, “Takashi and Hibishi will fight us, if you succeed, then you’ll get to the Destiny Stone.”

Taichi stared at Kari. “And you’re mine, ‘little sister.’

“I am NOT your little sister,” she sneered.

Tatum stared at them. “You’re not seriously going to fight them alone, are you?”

The brown-haired girl glanced at her. “We don’t really have a choice.” She turned to Davis and gave him a slight nod, then looked back at Taichi’s evil stare.

The remaining Digidestined nodded at one another, then at their digimon. “Ready?” Tk asked.

“You bet!” Patamon grinned.

“Let’s take care of this guy now!” Hiroshi growled.

“I’m with you,” Penmon nodded.

“Salamon!” Kari shouted.

“You got it!”

“Patamon warp digivolve to…”

“Penmon warp digivolve to…”

“Salamon warp digivolve to…”

“Seraphymon!”

“Pukumon!”

“Ophanimon!”

Pukumon lead the attack by shooting forward and slamming his spiked fists into Demon’s chest. The demon lord was too fast and grabbed hold of both of his hands. The giant blowfish pointed the giant spikes on his back to Demon’s chest and sent them into his chest and stomach like a dozen missiles at close range. Demon roared in pain and stumbled back. Pukumon executed an uppercut and then struck him across the chest again. Demon was finally able to get a good hit in when he slammed his knee into Pukumon’s underside, and then whacked him on both sides with his hands.

Seraphymon, meanwhile, was attacking an angel filled with both light and dark. The armored angel placed his palms together and fired out seven small diamonds. “Strike of the Seven Stars!”

Lucemon Falldown Mode crossed his arms in front of his face as the spikes of energy smashed into his forearms, protecting his face. He parted his arms so Seraphymon could see his grinning face. “Sorry, you’ll have to do better then that!”

He shot forward at an incredible speed and began pounding the other angel digimon with his fists at a fantastic rate. “Paradise Lost Punch!”

Tk’s digimon swung his fist and punched Lucemon hard in the side of the face, then swung around in a roundhouse, slamming Lucemon’s already injured face with his feet. The black and white digimon twisted in the air, striking Seraphymon on the underside of his chin.

Despite being the Demon Lord of Sloth, Belphemon moved with near incredible speed as he match each and every one of Ophanimon’s jabs. Neither opponent spoke, but continued to viciously fight, while their partners stared at one another.

“You’re gonna pay for what you did to Sora,” she said, her brown eyes filled with rage.

Taichi chuckled as he mentioned to Yolei, who was standing on the sidelines with the other Digidestined, “That is Sora, the person you fought was not.”

“What is that suppose to mean?”

He smirked.

“Damn it!” she swore, surprising everyone present, “I’m getting tired of everyone holding information over my head! If you have something to you want to tell me then tell me, or shut up about it!”

Taichi started to laugh. “I see I’ve struck a nerve.”

She clenched her fist tightly. “Shut up!”

His laughter died down. “Oh, very well, if you’re so interested…besides, it’s not like it really matters anyway.” His grin remained, “Sora, Yamato, Koushiro and the others, we are you, more specifically, just your bodies.”

Kari gasped. “W..what?”

“After your deaths at the hands of Apocalymon, your bodies were left floating in the void he created. Our evil god breathed life into them, creating us. So you see, I am Taichi Kamiya, if only his body.”

Kari gasped. “I…I…”

“Our evil god gave us the Demon Lords as our partners, and we became his top lieutenants. Our mission was to secure his resurrection, taking direct action only if necessary. And the pieces came together on there own, just perfectly.”

Kari shook her head. “Evil god?”

“That’s right, one that has the power over time and reality! His power alone can destroy this entire world! Of course, while the Destiny Stones still cast their holy seal over the Digital World, he couldn’t be revived, thus, the destruction of those stones were necessary.”

The other Digidestined were staring at the three fights occurring at once. “Are we just going to stand here?” Cody gasped.

Davis turned to the others and whispered. “I think Kari wants us to complete our mission while they keep them busy, at least, that’s what I think from the way she nodded at me. “ He looked at Ken and Ryo. “Ready?”

“Um..ah..yeah, alright,” Ken said.

“Get your laptop ready,” Ryo ordered. He reached into his robes and pulled out a small box with a USB connector attached.

“What’s that?” Wormmon asked.

“An external hard drive,” Ryo explained, “The Digital World’s programming should fit onto this, providing it’s compressed.”

Ken nodded as he attached the device to his laptop. He glanced at the fighters, none of them had even glanced in his direction since the fight began. He took a deep breath and took and walked towards the bottom of the hovering Destiny Stone. There he found an internet outlet, which he hooked into.

“Wow, this is pretty amazing,” he said, staring at the lines and lines of computer programming dancing across his screen, “The entire Digital World, reduced to simples zeroes and ones…”

“Ken, I think you’d better hurry!” Tatum shouted.

“Oh, right, sorry.” He quickly began downloading and compressing the data. “Let’s just hope this is fast enough.”

Demon fired another Flame Inferno into Pukumon, who screamed in agony. Despite the pain, he managed to fly through the flame and strike the demon with his spiked fists, tearing the fur and flesh from his hand. The demon moaned, but was still able to use his other fist to smash Pukumon’s face.

Yamato roared with laughter. “You digimon is getting the crap beaten out of him! Just give up before it’s too late.”

“Same here,” Koushiro frowned, mentioning to Lucemon who was repeatedly pounding against Seraphymon’s armored chest, which was began to crack. “This is no challenge at all, not to someone of my level.”

Hiroshi growled and clenched his fists tightly. He watched as Pukumon was repeatedly punched, kicked and attacked again and again. “I’ve had enough of this!” He reached behind and pulled out the Holy Trident from the holster on his back. “Takashi!”

The blond boy nodded and pulled out the Holy Sword from his holster. “Alright, let’s see if this’ll work.”

Both Digidestined pointed their weapons at their digimon. The two gold weapons glowed bright and fired a beam of light that struck the back of their partners. Both human and digimon were pulled towards one another and exploded in light. Human and digimon were fused into one being: Tk/Seraphymon looked exactly like Tk, except with large white wings, wearing Seraphymon’s armor, and carrying the Holy Sword at his side. Hiroshi/Pukumon was similar to Hiroshi, but with black spikes on his back and hands. He carried the Holy Trident in his hands.

“Interesting,” Koushiro said, “But that alone won’t save you! Get him Lucemon!”

Yamato pointed at his opponent. “Finish him off!”

The two demon digimon charged forward, roaring with pride and rage. The light and dark angel readied his fist. “Paradise Lost Punch!”

Tk/Seraphymon easily stepped aside, allowing Lucemon’s own momentum to pass him. The human/digimon attacked with his sword, slicing the demon in half. He screamed before vanishing.

“No!” Koushiro shouted, running forward, “Lucemon!”

Tk/Seraphymon pointed his outstretched palm at the god of darkness. “Strike of the Seven Stars!” Koushiro tried to move out of the way, but he was simply not fast enough. He vanished in a burst of light.

Demon was not aware of the destruction of his fellow Demon Lord. He charged at Hiroshi/Pukumon at full strength. The human/digimon grinned and jabbed his spiked fist at the demon’s stomach. “Take this!” His hand went straight through Demon’s chest and out his back.

Yamato’s eyes bulged open at the sight before him. “Demon!” he screamed in rage, “I’ll kill you for that!” He charged towards Demon’s back at full speed. He did not see Hiroshi/Pukumon swing his Holy Trident, sending a wave of energy that tore through Demon, deleting him instantly. The wave contained, slicing Yamato in half. Surprisingly, his body vanished in the same explosion of data that followed all digimon’s deaths.

Both human/digimon fusions glowed brightly before returning to their human and

In-training digimon components. On the other side of the canyon, Kari turned to Taichi. “Your soldiers are gone.”

“They’re not needed anymore, and soon, neither will we,” he said, mentioning to Belphemon, who was still fighting Ophanimon.

“What are you talking about!” she screamed.

Taichi mentioned to the sky. Kari turned around and gasped. The vampire lord Myotismon was diving towards the Destiny Stone of the Center with Kimeramon trailing right behind.

Down below, Ken triumphantly closed his laptop. “Done, finally!” He jumped to his feet and was half way back to the other Digidestined when a stream of red light struck the ground before him. He fell onto his rear and stared at the sky. “M…Myotismon!”

“And Kimeramon!” Derek shouted.

Taichi grinned. “They’re finally here.”

Kari stared at him. “You were expecting them?”

“They had to show themselves eventually, and while I wasn’t expecting Myotismon to be in the mix, I found the perfect place for him.”

Kari narrowed her eyes at him.

The vampire lord glanced around. “So, this is where everyone has been hiding, huh?”

“You’re one to talk!” Catherine muttered.

Myotismon just shrugged.

“What are you doing here?” Kari demanded.

“Let me be blunt, this world isn’t going to last much longer, and I want a free ticket to the human world.”

“Forget it!” Davis shouted, “There’s no way!”

“You don’t seem to understand,” he said, opening his palms, “You’re going to tell me, even if I have to beat it out of you!” He glanced over at Taichi and Belphemon, “And you’re one of the Gods of Darkness, I take it? Well, we’ll talk later, right now I have some information I’ll need to extract from the Digidestined!”

Suddenly, the entire canyon began to shake. “What’s going on?” Yuehon shouted.

“Earthquake?” Derek suggested.

A section of the canyon wall burst apart as a stream of water exploded forth, carrying with it a fossil-like digimon.

“Coelamon?” Derek’s Crabmon asked.

“Coelamon!” Tk gasped, “That’s the one Ladydevimon…”

The Coelamon rode the stream of water towards the canyon floor. His body began to glow brightly. “Coelamon digivolve to Megadramon!”

The newly digivolved digimon hovered in the air and pointed the gun barrels that comprised his arms towards the canyon floor. “Darkside Attack!”

Davis stared at the two large missiles heading straight for them. “Hit the ground!” The Digidestined and their digimon complied, falling on their stomachs and covering their heads with their hands. Surprisingly, the two missiles shot right over their heads and struck their true target, Myotismon.

The vampire lord was thrown back, passing by Kimeramon, who continued to hover mindless in the air. He forced himself to stop and went to stare at his attacker, but only saw another twin set of missiles crash into him. He struggled to execute his Crimson Lightning attack, but two more missiles ripped across him.

The Digidestined stared in disbelief. “I…don’t believe this!” Tatum gasped.

“What is going on here?” Tk demanded.

Myotismon managed to doge one of the sets of missiles and headed towards his attacker, but Megadramon appeared behind him and fired another Darkside Attack directly into his back. Before the vampire lord smash into the ground, Megadramon embrace his opponent in a bear hug. He began to glow brightly once again. “Megadramon…”

“He’s digivolving!” Ken shouted, “But what does he need Myotismon for?”

“A DNA digivolution,” Ryo said, “It needs two digimon to digivolve together into a higher form, but I thought that form was extinct.”

“Well, I don’t think Myotismon’s going to cooperate,” Veemon added.

The vampire lord struggled against Megadramon’s grasp. “No…I…I refuse…”

Megadramon continued to glow. “You don’t have a choice. No offense, but I just need an Ultimate digimon, and you were in the right place at the right time. Megadramon…”

Myotismon struggled as hard as he could, but he could not resist. “M..M..Myotismon…”

“…DNA digivolve to…Machinedramon!”

“Machindramon!” Ryo shouted, “No…it…it can’t be!” He turned to the Digidestined, “Stop him, stop him now!”

“What are you talking about?” Yolei asked.

“You have to destroy him, destroy Machinedramon!”

“Why?”

“There’s no time, do it!”

“We can’t!” Catherine shouted, “In case you haven’t noticed, our digimon are all injured from Demon’s attack!”

“The entire Digital World is at stake!” Ryo screamed, “Do something!”

“Ophanimon!” Kari shouted. Her angelic partner nodded and flew towards Machinedramon, who was still hovering in the air. She placed her palms together, prepared to execute one of her attacks, but Machinedramon demonstrated surprising speed. He pointed the two cannons on his back towards the angel woman and fired a barrage of bats.

“Grisly Wing!”

“He’s using Myotismon’s attacks!” Ken gasped.

The bats flew in front of Ophanimon’s eyes, obstructing her vision. She desperately tried to swat them away, but they were like gnats, continually hovering around her face. This gave Machinedramon the freedom to float even higher into the air, heading towards the mindless Kimeramon.

Taichi grinned. “Yes, finally!”

“No!” Ryo shouted, “No!”

Tk ran over to the Guardian. “Ryo, what’s going on!”

He shot his head to stare him straight in the eye. “Machinedramon and Kimeramon fuse together to create a god digimon!” He turned back to the sky, “This is it, we’re doomed.”

Machinedramon flew straight at the hovering synthetic digimon. To the Digidestined, it was like watching two puzzle pieces fitting together, Machinedramon flowed so perfectly into Kimeramon that there was not a trace of him left. Kimeramon crashed to the ground as his entire body began to pulse with energy, sending bolts of dark lighting crashing in all directions. The light intensified until it completely enveloped him, creating a dome of supreme black light that pulled the remaining light of the Digital World towards it.

“It’s all over,” Ryo said “We’re too late!”

“What?” Kari asked, pointing towards the globe, “What’s in there!”

Ryo sighed. “It’s the enemy I had to face when I was first called into the Digital World, my partner, the evil god digimon…”

He stared at the black globe.

“…Millenniumon.”

Preview:

Mille nniumon, the god of evil, has been reborn! The monster that nearly killed Ryo and almost destroyed the Digital World once before is back. The Digidestined have face powerful foes again and again, but do they have what it takes to face a god?

Next, “Apocalypse: Dark God Reborn,” The end of the Digital World is here

Author’s note: In case you’re wondering how Myotismon and Megadramon make Machinedramon, according to the Digimon Encyclopedia, one of the evolutionary requirements for Machinedramon is Megadramon plus any ultimate Digimon.
