Old Ones Return (II)

*Kyubimon, Euryale riding on top of her, & Agumon & Taiyo on either side to steady Euryale, arrive just in time to see Senthose raise his hand. His sleeve slides down, exposing the gadget on his wrist. He reaches up with his other hand & presses a button.*

{Digivolution!}

*Rings of purple energy surround Senthose & explode outward as huge, black bat wings unfold. Devimon sneers at them all.*

BioDevimon<Did you miss me?>

Azuma stops healing Salamon for a moment.

Azuma: "What?! Patamon!"

He attempts to Digivolve Patamon. Hitomi takes over with healing Salamon trying to ignore the pain from her wrist, biting her lip.

Kyubimon growls.

Taiyo: "We should leave."

*Lunamon and Biyomon both try to digivolve again*

Kylie:<You were the one that attacked the capital building?>

"We can't just leave the village alone. Besides, with so many Champion Digimon, I'm pretty sure we can take him."

BioDevimon<I don't intend to give you the choice.>

*He rushes at Angemon with the aim of stabbing him through the chest with his claws.*

*Kylie uses Hyper Wing and Radiant Fate, and Lekismon flies at BioDevimon, using Tear Arrow. After digivolving to Saberdramon, he attacks with Black Saber*

Angemon blocks with his staff and counters with Heaven's Knuckle.

Azuma: "There is no village. They were slaughtered."

*BioDevimon bats away the Heaven's Knuckle, which hits the Tear Arrow. Both attacks explode. He then sidesteps Black Saber.*

BioDevimon<Actually, I doubt my soldiers have reached the village yet. You may still have a chance to save them. Of course, if your conscience can handle the ambiguity....>

A<I'll take care of it.>

*Euryale slashes Radiant Wings, & Agumon heads off through the jungle. She then rolls off of Kyubimon, hardly grimacing when her injured leg hits the ground. Meanwhile, BioDevimon ascends into the sky & sprays dark energy from his claws down on them.*

*Saberdramon covers everyone within reach with his wings, while Lekismon flies around BioDevimon, firing Tear Arrow again*

Taiyo hops off Kyubimon to support Euryale. Kyubimon attacks with Fox Tail Inferno.

Angemon darts forward then flies up to get behind BioDevimon and attacks with Holy Shot.

Hitomi swipes the Digivolution card, holding the D-Power between her teeth by the strap.

*Saberdramon's wings now have several gashes on them. BioDevimon grabs the Tear Arrow, dodging Angemon's attack & throwing it back at him. He narrowly avoids Kyubimon's fire.*

"We get it, you're good. But will you be able to remain calm fighting so many enemies?"

*Euryale doesn't wait for an answer, drawing out her D-Power. The display shows the POV running through the forest. Sounds of gunfire can be faintly heard from it. Euryale bites her lip.*

Angemon shields himself with his staff from the attack. He then spins the staff, attacking with God Typhoon.

Assuming the Cocytus Breath card activated earlier is still active, Gatomon attacks with it. If not, Hitomi reslashes it and attacks.

Azuma: "Get Euryale to the village with Cameron. Three of us will handle Devimon."

*Cameron starts to heal saberdramon*

<We better hurry then.>

*Kylie slashes Aero Wing, which Lekismon then uses on BioDevimon*

*BioDevimon is hit with 3 blasts & falls to the ground. Euryale is presumably heading off, along with Taiyo. The POV of her D-Power bursts out of the jungle to a ziggurat with Toy Agumon & Geckomon running around on top of it firing attacks, but also Gabumon, Elecmon, & various other Digimon. Occasionally, one is struck down by gunfire, & dissolves into data. A Pixiemon tries to fly up & spear one of the soldiers, but starts to revert when it passes a Woodmon. While it's in the middle of the process, it waves its branch, & destroys the warrior Digimon. Agumon fires a blast of ice at one of the gunmen.*

*Cameron and Saberdramon also head to the village, Saberdramon taking to the air. Lekismon, meanwhile, uses Tear Arrow again*

Azuma slashes the Knight's Device card, turning Angemon's staff into a lance. Then he follows through with the Training Grips card, latching them onto BioDevimon's arms.

Angemon descends, lance set to impale BioDevimon.

===================================

Kyubimon heads through the jungle, carrying Euryale and Taiyo.

*It takes a lot longer to heal Champion Digimon, or maybe just large ones. Saberdramon's wings are barely healed. BioDevimon still grabs Angemon's lance, but the training grips prevent him from building enough speed to grab the Tear Arrow. He grunts, then snarls.*

BioDevimon<You'll find that I don't need cards. Activate: Program Pause.>

*When Angemon's wing dissolves, he blasts him away with a darkness claw. Then he sets to pulling the training grips off of himself. He also begins to glow as he does so.*

BioDevimon<Activate: Radiant Fate.>
=====================================
*They arrive in time for the other soldier to turn & fire on Agumon, but Euryale had re-slashed the Brave Shield, & he uses it to block. The other notices them, throws aside his useless frozen machinegun, & pulls out his handgun to take aim at Kyubimon. The Woodmon, meanwhile, are stomping up the temple steps, literally crushing & devouring Digimon en mass.*

Gatomon attacks with Cocytus Breath while Angemon jumps back, attacking with Holy Shot.

===================================

Kyubimon attacks the soldier with Fox Tail Inferno.

Taiyo: "Wait, don't."

*Lekismon flies around and uses Aero Wing*
---
*Saberdramon picks up Cameron in one of his claws, then takes off towards the village again*

*Devimon leaps into the air, diving at Gatomon.*
===============================
*He drops his gun & falls to the ground. It's unclear to what extent the attack has affected him, but small portions of his armor have been melted off. Meanwhile, other soldiers resume machinegun fire at Kyubimon. The one attacking Agumon begins firing in short bursts, to keep him pressured, but conserve ammunition, while the last attempts to strafe around him to fire at his back.*

"Agumon, just take off, pick the cowards off from the air!"

Hitomi swipes the High Speed Plug-In S card. Gatomon strafes from BioDevimon's path, attacking with Cocytus Breath.

Angemon fires another Holy Shot at BioDevimon.

===================================

Kyubimon strafes from the soldiers paths, Taiyo hanging on to Euryale.

She then launches another volley of fireballs.

*Lekismon uses Aero Wing again*
---
*Upon arriving at the village, Saberdramon uses Night Roar on the soldiers*

*They scatter, trying to defend themselves from the attacks. Agumon heeds Euryale's warning, & flies upwards. There he shoots frozen breath at the soldiers, but they are prepared, & have a tendency to leap out of the way.*
=====================================
*BioDevimon cartwheels away from danger.*

*Lekismon follows, using Tear Arrow again. Kylie slashes a speed boost*
---
*Saberdramon uses Night Roar on a group of soldiers if he can find one*

The two repeat their attacks.

===================================

Kyubimon fires off another volley not particularly paying any attention to whether or not it's a single soldier or group.

*BioDevimon simply jumps out of the way, into the sky. The massive explosion where the attacks meet, coupled with all of the energy blasts ripping through the trees, causes extensive damage to the forest. Trees begin falling around them, the ground cracks extensively & begins to lean, & BioDevimon swoops around to Angemon's back.*

<Activate: Speed.>
==========================================
*Unable to defend against so many attacks, the soldiers fall one after another, until there is only one. He looks back & forth at them all, drops his gun, & runs towards the jungle.*
