[File Island] The Soldier of Evil

[Android 17]

DemiDevimon cautiously eyed the six Agumon as they diverged from their initial, linear arrangement. The bat had already deduced that Xander had to be the quarry they had just finished jeering, and now these crazed Digimon intended to terminate him. DemiDevimon turned his attention to their leader?DarkTyrannomon?who sat in his throne of bone. The obsidian reptile was eating a massive chunk of sirloin and sneering at the defenseless bat.

?Ready for my vaccines to purge you from our world, Virus? Evil filth, it will be an honor to watch you be deleted by these fine champions of justice!? The monstrosity roared, discarding the naked bone whose meat he?d devoured in a single, grotesque bite. DemiDevimon took offense to that comment, but even more so, he was confused that the evil Digimon was acting so hypocritical. DarkTyrannomon was of the same digital basis as DemiDevimon, yet from the confidence in his voice, appeared to believe in the rhetoric he was spewing.

Accept the evil that lays dormant within you, DemiDevimon. The voice wasn?t a stranger to the Digimon. Among the recent fear of his fate, it was possible that DemiDevimon had subconsciously created the voice, but the truth he had come to accept without much of an argument was that it was his own evil, making its opinion known evident. Even with the trauma he had been enduring lately, beneath it all, the small bat was worried that he wasn?t going to survive this confrontation. DemiDevimon was also wondering whether or not the misguided tyrant was correct. After all, the bat Digimon was still uneasy about how he had shifted from being a humble Data type to the malignant, evil-base Virus type. Even with Xander?s words of wisdom, DemiDevimon was still uncertain about his destiny.

?I think he is afraid,? one of the Agumon hissed condescendingly. The first strike from one of the orange attackers sent the bat hurdling across the battleground-like chamber. DemiDevimon cried out in agony, but before he could retaliate, the others were upon him. Beneath a flurry of fists and blasts of fire, the bat started to cave to the malignant thoughts assimilating within the depths of his mind.

Embrace me, DemiDevimon! The cold, malicious voice rang throughout the small animal?s mind. It was becoming stronger and less resistible with each punch and blast of fire that punished the Digimon. Even worse, the bat-based, digital monster feared letting down his new friend. Xander had been the nicest person in the world to DemiDevimon, who had no friends at all up until the two had met.

If you continue on this path, he will die, DemiDevimon! Embrace the darkness within you and allow its power to guide you! Allow us to help you, and together we can save Xander! Then, amid the churning madness that his mind had degraded into, something snapped within the chiropteran creature. DemiDevimon?s eyes, which he had held shut to protect them from the never-ending onslaught of his crazed foes, suddenly shot open, consumed in a dark, hateful fire.

?I will show you all the meaning of Evil!? The bat shrieked, his voice strangely deep and holding an augmented intimidation factor. ?Demi Dart!? DemiDevimon unleashed the violet projectile upon the nearest Agumon, who was thrown off balance by the sudden counterattack. Seeing their ally knocked back triggered the five other dinosaurs to halt their brutal offensive and take a few steps away from their now seething adversary.

OOC: Breaktime, expect a few more later tonight.
