Let's reach 250 Power Stones for an extra chapter
***
Alright, let's do this. It's time to put a stop to this fear-mongering freakshow once and for all.
"Gatomon, BlackGatomon, with me!" I shout, bracing myself for the incoming chaos. "Let's shut this clown down!"
The battle is on. It's a confined space, making it a brutal melee. Gatomon and BlackGatomon are blurs of fur and claws, darting around Soulmon, who is surprisingly agile for a floating ghost. Gatomon is all precision, striking with calculated ferocity, while BlackGatomon fights with wild abandon, relishing every hit.
Daredevil moves with a grace that defies his blindness, dodging Mr. Fear's clumsy swings and landing blows with pinpoint accuracy. The sound of fists connecting with flesh echoes through the sewer chamber.
"You can't stop what's coming!" Mr. Fear shouts, his voice echoing off the grimy walls. "Fear is inevitable!"
"Yeah, well, so is getting your ass kicked," I retort, stepping forward. "And I'm feeling pretty inevitable right now."
Suddenly, Mr. Fear raises his arm, and a hissing sound fills the air. I smell something acrid, something sickly sweet, and I realize what's happening just in time.
"Cutemon, now!" I yell, knowing what is coming.
Cutemon, bless her fluffy pink heart, reacts instantly. A surge of pink energy washes over me and Daredevil, just as a cloud of Fear Gas erupts from Mr. Fear's gauntlet. The world seems to ripple around us, but thanks to Cutemon's Healing Aura, the gas has no effect.
"What?!" Mr. Fear shouts, his voice laced with disbelief. "Impossible! No one can resist my gas!"
"Cute can," I say, smirking. "And you're about to find that out the hard way."
Mr. Fear looks from me to Daredevil, who is steadily advancing, his expression grim. Knowing he can't win a straight-up fight, Mr. Fear falls back, positioning himself behind Soulmon.
"Soulmon, protect me!" he commands.
Realizing the Atmospheric Dispersal Unit is the key to Mr. Fear's whole operation, I know I have to take it out, even if that means getting through Soulmon.
"Ballistamon, get in here!" I shout. "Take out that device!"
With a resounding crash, Ballistamon materializes in the sewer chamber, his massive frame filling the already cramped space.
"On it!" Ballistamon says, his voice booming.
He charges towards the Atmospheric Dispersal Unit, ready to smash it to smithereens. But Mr. Fear won't let that happen.
"Soulmon, stop him!" he screams, his voice filled with desperation. "That Dispersal Unit is everything!"
Mr. Fear is putting all his strength to protect the Dispersal Unit and all of a sudden Mr. Fear's negative emotions surge. The Shadow Bond between Mr. Fear and Soulmon intensifies, amplified by his desperation and fear of failure.
A surge of dark energy pulses through the chamber, and I feel a prickling sensation on my skin. Something big is about to happen.
And then it does. Soulmon begins to convulse, its shadowy form twisting and contorting. The air crackles with dark energy, and a guttural scream tears through the sewer.
"What's happening?!" I shout, watching in alarm as Soulmon's form grows larger, more menacing.
Mr. Fear, however, is grinning like a madman. "Yes, yes! More power! Take it all!"
With a final, earth-shattering roar, Soulmon transforms. Its shadowy form solidifies, becoming a hulking figure draped in red shrouds. A hood obscures its face, leaving only an eerie presence to shine through. In its hand, it carries a large scythe attached to a chain, the blade glinting in the dim light. And dangling from its neck, a crystal shaped like an eyeball, said to grant clairvoyant insight into those near death.
Phantomon has arrived.
[Phantomon]
[Level: Ultimate]
[Type: Ghost]
[Attribute: Virus]
[Special Move: Soul Chopper]
[A reaper-like Digimon wielding a giant sickle and chain. Phantomon is a more advanced Ghost Digimon than Bakemon, and once it possesses an individual, their fate is almost certainly sealed. The eye-shaped crystal hanging from its neck functions like Mammothmon's crest, providing it with a second sight that allows it to see over long distances. It uses this ability to find those near death. It is said that the inside of the cloth concealing Phantomon's body is connected to the Digital World of another dimension. Its special move is Soul Chopper, where it uses its giant sickle and chain to slash its opponent's very soul. Anyone struck by this attack is completely obliterated along with their soul.]
"This," Mr. Fear says, his voice filled with triumph, "is true fear!"
Phantomon doesn't waste any time. It turns its attention to Ballistamon, who is still charging towards the Atmospheric Dispersal Unit. With a swift motion, Phantomon swings its scythe, the blade whistling through the air.
Ballistamon barely has time to react. The scythe connects with his armored body, sending him flying backwards. He crashes into the wall of the sewer chamber, the impact sending cracks spiderwebbing through the concrete.
"Ballistamon!" I shout, horrified.
Phantomon turns its attention to Daredevil, Gatomon, and BlackGatomon, who are momentarily stunned by the sudden transformation. With another swing of its scythe, it sends them flying as well.
The three are knocked across the room. They all crash into the ground.
I look around, seeing my allies scattered and bruised. Mr. Fear is standing behind Phantomon, his face lit up with elation.
"Did you really think you could stop me, Chosen Child?" he says, his voice dripping with arrogance. "You're nothing but a fool. Now, witness the dawn of a new era! An era of fear!"
I grit my teeth, feeling a surge of anger. This isn't over. Not by a long shot.
I look at the others. I must act now!
Then, remembering the Crest of Destiny, I make a daring decision: use it to push Gatomon and BlackGatomon to Ultimate. It's a risky move, I've never used the Crest before, but it's the only way to turn the tide.
"Gatomon, BlackGatomon!" I shout, my voice filled with determination. "Are you ready to embrace your full power? Are you ready to become stronger?"
The two Digimon exchange a look, their eyes burning with a fierce resolve.
"We're ready, Ethan," Gatomon says, her voice firm.
BlackGatomon just grins, her claws extended. "Let's do this."
"Alright, then let's go!" I say.
I reach into my pocket and grab the Crest of Destiny. Holding it aloft, I feel a surge of energy coursing through my body.
I hold the Crest high as it begins to glow a bright golden color!
"Gatomon, BlackGatomon! Ultimate Evolution!"
From the corner of my eye, I see my Digivice's screen glow.
[Ultimate Evolution]
I can see the crest glowing as it sends streams of energy towards Gatomon and BlackGatomon! It is time.
Light and darkness intertwine, swirling around Gatomon and BlackGatomon as they begin to Digivolve. The very air crackles with energy, the sewer chamber illuminated by an otherworldly glow.
"Gatomon, digivolve!"
"BlackGatomon, digivolve!"
Gatomon is the first to change. A blinding light erupts around her, and I have to shield my eyes. When the light subsides, I gasp in awe. Standing before me is Angewomon, a graceful, majestic humanoid angel. Eight wings sprout from her back, their feathers shimmering with an ethereal light. Her visage is the definition of elegance and holiness, flowing ribbons accentuating her form, a halo adorning her head. Her expression is one of calm justice, a testament to both mercy and judgment.
"Angewomon!"
But the transformation isn't over yet. BlackGatomon is enveloped in a shroud of darkness, the very shadows seeming to writhe around her. A sinister energy permeates the air, and I feel a chill run down my spine. When the darkness recedes, LadyDevimon stands in its place.
Tall, lithe, and seductive, LadyDevimon is the antithesis of Angewomon. Her skin is alabaster white, her eyes ruby red, and her silver-white hair flows down her back. She wears a torn black leather outfit, her bat-like wings spreading behind her like a dark cloak. One of her arms is elongated into a crimson claw, a symbol of her deadly power. She embodies cunning, arrogance, and dark charisma, a perfect mirror to Angewomon's divine grace.
"LadyDevimon!"
I look from Angewomon to LadyDevimon, feeling a surge of hope. The tide has turned. Now, it's time to take back what's ours.
"Alright, ladies," I say, a grin spreading across my face. "Let's show these creeps what we're really made of."
