[File Island] The Soldier of Evil

[Android 17]

DarkTyrannomon sat upon his throne made from bone and dried flesh and felt his rage build. In front of him, two of his Agumon servants had been reduced to bawling, battered masses. Near the other end of the chamber, a third member of his legion was dropped from the shadowy ceiling of the arena. The dinosaur hit the ground and shattered like an icicle when it hits the concrete some two stories beneath its point of origin. Although his men, like all other Digimon inhabiting the Digital World, could not be truly slain, the process it took to restore a disrupted Digimon to a usable state of digivolution was a long and arduous one.

?Why are you afraid of that vermin!? DarkTyrannomon screamed, leaping from his throne and advancing a few paces. One of the blinding Agumon stumbled in his direction, trying to follow the sound of his voice.

?We can?t contend with that creature,? the wounded servant said sadly, ?my lordship, he has to be on some kind of illegal substance,? DarkTyrannomon took in a deep, agitated breath and expelled a gust of fire that made the ?Pepper Breath? of the Agumon?s look child?s play. The inferno consumed the blubbering Agumon, reducing his body to charred flesh, then coding, and then nothing but a black spot on the cave floor. DarkTyrannomon, not wanting to deal with any more weakness, eliminated the other wounded Agumon and turned to face the two enduring miniature tyrannosaurs.

?You will suffer the same fate as those two did if you do not deal with this vermin right this moment. The bat is simply trying to use your fears against you, and you can?t allow the dirty tactics of a Virus Digimon to cloud you stalwart valor,? the obsidian tyrant looked down at the triumvirate of Agumon, and when he realized they were still quivering in fear, he immolated them as well, ?it is so hard to find good help these days,? the black dinosaur roared as he walked over to the holding pit. At the bottom of the well, the human was lying, still unconscious and oblivious to the carnage unfolding in the arena above him, ?I will deal with you accordingly,? the ebony monstrosity growled, taking in a deep breath in preparation for the deathblow; however, he never got the time to exhale. A jagged concentration of violet plasma tore into the side of his head, staggering the mighty beast.

?Leave Xander the fuck alone,? DemiDevimon rasped as he fluttered above the ground some dozen feet away from DarkTyrannomon. The massive, black dinosaur began to chuckle, in fact the laughter that followed drove the titan to his knees for a few moments.

?You are going to regret that design, Virus,? the pitch-black tyrannosaurus said gleefully as he regained his composure, ?the meat I eat for snacks is larger then you are.?

?Shut the hell up and fight, fuck face,? DemiDevimon said in his newly acquired, guttural tone. DarkTyrannomon kicked off the ground, his large form landing behind the bat with a surprising swiftness. The floating creature evaded the first few jabs, but even the wind that the movement of each arm created was enough to throw around DemiDevimon. Understanding that Xander would be safe for the time being since he was the new target, the bat started towards the chamber?s sole exit. DarkTyrannomon pursued his victim slowly, putting an extra force into each of his steps so that the chamber reverberated with each drop of one of his feet. Ignoring the chauvinistic display, DemiDevimon darted up the stairwell, hoping that there was no more Agumon lying dormant inside the pseudo-village.

Behind him, DarkTyrannomon was thundering up the stone stairs, laughing ever so egotistically. Unbeknownst to both of the combating Digimon, Xander, who had been stirred from the realm of the unconscious by the obsidian tyrant?s loud display of his size, had escaped from his relatively shallow prison. The human youth peered out from the door to the stairwell and slowly followed after DarkTyrannomon as the monstrosity chased his digital ally.

DemiDevimon escaped into the night air and breathed in a mouthful of refreshing, nighttime air. Behind him, the ebony beast ripped through the stairwell?s fa?ade and unleashed a fear-inspiring gust of fire into the night air. Unshaken by the tyrant?s display of his superior size, the bat turned to face the dinosaur. DarkTyrannomon cackled once more and flexed his four, overly large claw fingers. The beast took in a deep breath of air and prepared to let loose the fiery inferno upon the levitating bat, but a defiant shout prevented him from doing so. Xander, who both Virus Digimon had thought to still be out cold, had leaped upon the back of the ebony t-rex.

?Looks like both of you get to die together!? DarkTyrannomon boomed, picking the Homo sapiens off his back and chucking him toward his bat-like ally. Xander was back on his feet an instant later, and now both DemiDevimon and his human pal were standing face-to-face with overwhelming odds manifested in the form of a massive, fire breathing tyrannosaurus rex. Even with all the chips in their enemy's pot, the duo cast aside any doubt they may have amassed and charged toward their reptilian adversary.
