Fight Climax!
EVOLUTION Salamon and Terriermon began to glow as the effects of cards swiped some time ago finally went through.
“Salamon shinka!” Salamon shifted from a quadrupedal canine form to a bipedal form that had a feline head. The holy ring around its neck moved down to its tail which snaked out, gaining purple and white alternating stripes with a tuft of purple fur at the end. Its ears pointed into feline ears which also gained tufts of purple fur. Gloves with clawed tips formed around what were its forward paws before and now were its hands. “Gatomon!”
“Terriermon shinka!” Terriermon grew to about double its size and its arms and legs lengthened. Jeans formed around its legs and its arms gained a Gatling gun-like casing around each of them. Red war paint decorated its larger form and it whipped a bandoleer around its bare chest. “Gargomon!”
Gatomon smirked. “Well, I think we might have a bit more of a chance now, eh Gargomon?”
“Yep, that ugly skeleton won’t know what hit him.” Gargomon nodded to the smaller adult digimon.
“Be careful, the both of you. Jenrya and I will get to a decent location so we can help with cards as needed.” Ranma said through her link with Gatomon.
“Momentai!” Gargomon said. “We’ll be able to handle it, you stay safe.”
“GROUND ZERO BUSTER!” Gargomon and Gatomon jumped away in the nick of time, dodging the explosion caused by SkullTyrannomon’s attack. It still stood taller than them, at about five times Gargomon’s height. Gatomon refused to let herself be afraid though. She was an adult, not a child, and this thing would feel the wrath of her claws.
“Neko Punch!” Gatomon dashed at the Perfect and once she was close, she clawed at the bone there. She could feel some of it flake off with her scratches, but not nearly enough.
“Gatling Arm!” A hail of bullets came from the vulcan cannons on Gargomon’s arms, leaving a trail of impacts on SkullTyrannomon’s skeleton. When the dust cleared, it was clear that some damage had been done, but not enough to be catastrophic.
Gatomon landed down next to Gargomon. “Well, we’re able to scratch him. Death by paper cuts?”
Gargomon shook his head. “That’s gonna take a lot of paper cuts.”
The two separated again to dodge an incoming Ground Zero Buster. One benefit seemed to be that the explosion had a short range. Only thirty feet or so, and they could clear that easily. Gatomon landed on a ledge, while Gargomon had landed on a wide fence.
Gatomon knew she had to go at it again. She leaped at SkullTyrannomon and kicked at its skull. “Neko Kick!” She followed it up by digging her claws in. “Neko Punch! Revised! Saotome Style Combination!”
The feline digimon erupted in a series of kicks and clawed punches all to the side of SkullTyrannomon’s skull... and she was rewarded with a swat from the larger digimon’s arm which sent her flying back twenty feet.
Of course, after she went flying, Gargomon followed up her combination with an attack of his own. “DUM DUM UPPER!” The rabbitlike digimon drove a bullet-powered uppercut into SkullTyrannomon’s chin, knocking it backward a bit.
“Cursed Destroyer!” SkullTyrannomon’s right arm’s forearm opened up and ejected a marrow missile encased in dark energy at Gargomon.
“Card Slash! WarGreymon Brave Shield!” Jenrya’s voice echoed out nearby and the shield formed in front of Gargomon, blocking the attack. He and Ranma had arrived on the roof of a nearby building.
“Thanks Jian!” Gargomon called out as he lowered the shield, holding it with his left hand. Gatomon managed to climb to her feet nearby.
Up on the roof, Ranma assessed the situation. Two Adult digimon versus one Perfect was still highly unfavorable odds, especially one with unknown capabilities. Still, it was fairly obvious that SkullTyrannomon was linked with dark or unholy energy, and that would be the key to its defeat.
If this doesn’t work, I have one last absurdly stupid thing I can try. Ranma thought as she looked down at Gatomon and tried not to think about how catlike her partner was. Gatomon was a digimon, not a cat. “Jenrya, here!”
Ranma tossed a card to her fellow Tamer who caught it by instinct. He looked at it and raised an eyebrow. “This is your plan?”
“Well, that and we work together with them.” Ranma replied.
Ranma pulled out her own card and readied it at the same time as Jenrya. Their voices echoed in unison. “CARD SLASH!”
Ranma continued, “Angewomon: Holy Arrow!”
Jenrya finished, “MagnaAngemon: Sword of Promised Victory!”
The data now read, Gatomon looked up from her distraction of the Perfect and smirked. Gargomon now held a glowing purple broadsword in his right hand and a shield in his left.
Gatomon couldn’t help but snark. “I thought Guilmon was the one supposed to turn into a knight.”
Gargomon replied, “I don’t know, I feel all heroic all of the sudden.”
Ranma shook her head at their banter. “Right, let’s finish them off....” The martial artist’s actions mirrored perfectly her digimon partner’s as she gripped her digivice.
Jenrya nodded. “We’ll start it off...” He gripped his own, and as he raised it, Gargomon raised the sword perfectly in sync. “EX...”
Gargomon’s voice echoed in unison with his tamer’s. “CALIBUR!”
Ranma did much the same with her partner, only she drew her digivice back as if she were drawing a bow, and a bow and arrow made of holy light formed in Gatomon’s hands. “HOLY....”
Gatomon finished together with her tamer, “ARROW!”
A beam of golden light came from Gatomon’s bow, and a wave of purple and gold energy came from the sword in Gargomon’s hand. The two attacks intermingled and struck SkullTyrannomon right in its digital core and then the energy blew through the back of the massive digimon. The Perfect fell to one knee and flickered... and then it exploded into data which dissipated before Gatomon and Gargomon could even think about downloading it.
The digital field began to fade away and the sky was visible again.
