Chapter 62 - Chapter 62: War with the Dark Legion (III)

"Royal Monkey Kick!" The darkened KingEtemon lashed out with a rapid kick at WarGreymon. WarGreymon swung the Brave Sword again and again to parry KingEtemon's flurry, then thrust his left hand forward—Brave Shield unfolded in an instant to block the blow. With a fierce sweep, the Brave Sword slashed straight across KingEtemon's chest.

Clang—the bite of blade on metal rang out. KingEtemon hopped back several steps to open the distance. WarGreymon held the Brave Sword crosswise before his chest, ready to strike at any time.

"Damn you—how dare you wound the magnificent body of the King of Digimon! You'll pay for that!" Even shrouded in darkness, KingEtemon still retained his ego. Staring at the long, deep gash carved across his chest by the Brave Sword, his prideful rage boiled over.

WarGreymon ignored the idiot's bluster and silently opened every weapon port across his body. "Firepower Storm!" Countless Tyranno Missiles roared from him like a swarm, streaking toward KingEtemon.

Boom—boom—boom—boom—explosions thundered in a chain. "You filthy— I'll—" KingEtemon's enraged voice broke through the flames, only to be swallowed again beneath another barrage of missiles.

Click—WarGreymon's weapon bays sealed shut. The area where KingEtemon had stood fell quiet after the long bombardment, save for the crackle of flames.

Step—step—footfalls approached. Hearing them, WarGreymon instantly shifted into a battle stance.

Charred black from head to toe, KingEtemon emerged. His cape hung in tatters; his body, black to begin with, looked even darker now.

"Rrraah! Damn you—I'll kill you!" KingEtemon howled at the sky.

WarGreymon swept the Brave Sword back; his cape snapped in the wind as he sprinted straight for KingEtemon. As his speed rose, a red flame licked along the trailing edge of the Brave Sword—deepening, building—until the blade itself blazed.

Clack! KingEtemon threw up a hand to block, but WarGreymon was too fast—before the arm was half-raised, WarGreymon had already flashed past him. WarGreymon came to a stop; the flames around the Brave Sword guttered out.

KingEtemon looked down. A layer of fire now burned over the spot where WarGreymon had slashed him before. "Aaaagh!" he roared. The flames on his chest spread with terrifying speed, racing across him until KingEtemon crumbled into ash.

WarGreymon vs. KingEtemon—WarGreymon victorious.

Machinedramon—no, Chaosdramon—had been rebuilt. The steel-alloy plating across his body was replaced with brand-new Red Digizoid, boosting his defense dramatically, and his weaponry had changed as well.

Chaosdramon is a reinforced, upgraded form of Machinedramon. His body is composed of Red Digizoid—an advanced variant of Chrome Digizoid—and his destructive "computer core," a program woven for annihilation, has been further improved; he is a being that disrupts all order.

Special Techniques:

Hyper Mugen Cannon: Fires ultra-powerful, high-density energy waves from the cannons on his back, overwhelming enough to annihilate anything in an instant.

Chaos Destroyer: Simultaneously unleashes ultra–high-density energy pillars from the twin back cannons and the cannon in his mouth to obliterate the enemy.

Signature Techniques:

Chaos Crusher: Launches a massive swarm of missiles from his chest while the back cannons simultaneously fire energy blasts.

Chaos Crushing Claw: Tears foes apart with arms forged from Red Digizoid.

Infinite Destruction Bombardment: A virus-bomb barrage that combines numerous lasers and infrared-guided bombs, dropped all at once or in rapid succession, capable of corrupting and destroying digital data.

Now Chaosdramon and Zamielmon were locked in a pure shootout—both Digimon were equally lethal at range and in close.

"Hyper Mugen Cannon!" "Chaos Destroyer!" "Chaos Crusher!" "Infinite Destruction Bombardment!" Every weapon port on Chaosdramon's body irised open. Lasers and missiles poured out in torrents, homing—guided with pinpoint precision—straight for Zamielmon.

"Sharpshooting Headshot!" "Arrow Stab!" "Turbulent Arrowstorm!" "World Bullet!" A storm of arrows erupted from all over Zamielmon's body, slamming into Chaosdramon's barrage. Explosions rippled one over another, shockwaves flattening everything around them.

"Chaos Crushing Claw!" Chaosdramon's talons shot out, snatching for Zamielmon. "Foot Shot!" Zamielmon snapped up his right leg, kicking to intercept the strike.

Chaosdramon's other arm swept in and grabbed Zamielmon's hand. Before Zamielmon could react, the arm retracted hard, yanking them together at close range.

"Chaos Crusher!" Panels on Chaosdramon's chest snapped open—at this distance there was no time to evade—and a cloud of missiles blasted free.

Boom—boom— The shockwave hurled them apart. Zamielmon crashed to the ground, a sizable hole blown into his chest. "Chaos Destroyer!" "Chaos Crusher!" "Infinite Destruction Bombardment!" Seizing the opening, Chaosdramon reopened every weapon bay and drowned Zamielmon's position in lasers and missiles.

When the smoke finally thinned, Zamielmon lay there. He had just started to push himself up when—"Hyper Mugen Cannon!"—a colossal energy pillar smashed into his chest, punching a gaping hole straight through. His body began to dissolve, scattering into data and vanishing from the Digital World.

Chaosdramon vs. Zamielmon—Chaosdramon victorious.

Elsewhere, Daemon pressed both hands to his chest; light gathered between them, swelling into a globe. "Evil Inferno!" He hurled a wave of malevolent, ultra–high-temperature hellfire toward MetalGarurumon.

From midair, MetalGarurumon thrust out his left arm. "Garuru Cannon!" A blast of intense freezing air fired forth. Fire and frost streaked toward each other.

KABOOM! Flames and cold collided with a thunderous detonation. Even before the blast faded, MetalGarurumon burst from the glare, Garuru Blade sweeping down toward Daemon. "Fallen Claw!" Daemon's left-hand talons met the blade, stopping it cold.

They broke apart at once, opening distance, each eyeing the other.

"Hmph." Daemon sneered at MetalGarurumon. "Knuckle Barrage!" Ten beams lanced from the tips of his fingers, screaming toward his foe.

MetalGarurumon danced between the streaking rays, cleaving apart the ones he couldn't dodge with the Garuru Blade.

"Grace Cross Freezer!" Panels all across MetalGarurumon's frame opened—ranks of freezing missiles roared free.

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM— The cryo-bombs and finger-beams met and canceled in a chain of hard blasts.

MetalGarurumon surged in, slashing; Daemon parried again and again, sniping back in the gaps between swings.

They traded blows, bright flashes bursting each time they clashed.

Daemon caught the Garuru Blade on his right hand and swept his left talons for MetalGarurumon's waist—

Thunk! A brown shield sprang up and blocked the strike. WarGreymon had finished his battle and arrived to support MetalGarurumon.

WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon shared a glance and nodded. Together they swung their weapons down at Daemon. He thrust out both forearms, catching Brave Sword and Garuru Blade. The two Mega-levels pressed down with all their might, forcing Daemon's arms lower and lower—another heartbeat and the blades would bite into his shoulders.

With a sudden heave, Daemon tore free and sprang back, opening space. "Evil Inferno!" He spat his signature attack. WarGreymon darted forward and caught it on the Brave Shield; the hellfire splashed harmlessly across it, unable to pierce its defense. MetalGarurumon vaulted past from behind WarGreymon and brought the Garuru Blade down hard.

Thud! The blow struck clean; the impact knocked Daemon sprawling.

WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon nodded in unison.

"WarGreymon (Combat Form) and MetalGarurumon (Warrior Form), DNA Digivolve—Omnimon, Transcendent Form!"

The newly appeared Omnimon immediately opened every weapon port on his body. "Omega Storm!" An uncountable swarm of Omega Missiles plunged into the pit where Daemon had fallen.

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM— The detonations were fiercer even than WarGreymon's and MetalGarurumon's earlier barrages.

When Omnimon ceased fire, Daemon's position was a bottomless crater.

"You think such a paltry attack could erase me? Don't delude yourselves." Daemon's ghastly voice rose from the depths.

Whoosh—Daemon shot out of the hole. Even under such a withering assault, he appeared completely unscathed.

Omnimon tensed—then saw the mocking curl of Daemon's lips. He realized at once and lunged, but he was a heartbeat too late: a black vortex unfurled behind Daemon. Omnimon's Omni Sword sliced through empty air—Daemon flickered once and vanished. In truth, he had been injured, but the delay had been enough for him to secure his escape.
