[File Island] The Soldier of Evil

[Android 17]

?So, you want to play rough, do you?? Xander watched on as DemiDevimon unleashed the verbal attack upon the large dinosaur, and then the bat-like Digimon exploded toward his overbearing adversary, ?DemiDevimon digivolve to?? a blinding white light enveloped the small creature, and as if triggered by his swelling hatred and rage, an awesome transformation took place. As his partner was consumed in the light, the digivice on Xander?s belt started to glow wildly. Arms and legs could be seen taking shape as the white form bulged in size. Wings that were once small and almost the majority of the DemiDevimon?s body mass ballooned as well. When the light faded, a behemoth stood where the small bat had once been flapping around. The new creature towered over Xander and was a drastic change from the imp-sized DemiDevimon. This new Digimon, completely humanoid in shape only, was encased within straps, buckles, and a leather-like skin. Its feet wore boots, and mummy-like bandages had been wrapped around his right arm and hand. The beast?s arms were overly long and bizarrely thin, and his fingers terminated with ghastly, obsidian claws. Two white, skull tattoos adorned his left shoulder and right thigh, and an orange bat-shaped effigy ornamented his chest.

Xander gazed up, passed the tattered, yet sturdy wings of the new Digimon, at its face. Two horns pierced the sides of the figures face, shooting out for several inches before curling up. Although the masked appearance of DemiDevimon remained intact, the Digimon?s face, like most of its body, had been vastly humanized; however, the beastly transformation was not without the addition of several menacing traits. Fangs filled the digivolved DemiDevimon?s mouth, and his eyes burned with an overwhelming, crimson hellfire. The entire transmogrification had occurred in brief seconds, and as the final vestiges of light faded, the transcended creature raised its arms in victory. Black flames sprung to life around the Digimon?s lower body.

?Devimon!? The towering devil rasped victoriously, his voice drastically different compared to the usually shrill, childish voice of DemiDevimon. Even in a single word, the new Digimon established both his immense level or hate and his hatred toward the black dinosaur that stood a few feet away from him. Strangely enough, Xander didn?t feel threatened in the least bit by his partner?s new identity, and in a way, he reveled in the newfound power of his once indecisive friend. DarkTyrannomon wore an expression of unadulterated terror across his formerly unwavering visage. On the other hand, Devimon wore a sick, twisted smile. The lofty, satanic digital monster raised both his gnarled, gruesome claws and let out a twisted laugh, ?Evil Touch!? Devimon stepped forward, bringing his bladed fingers, which were now glowing black, down as he moved.

The formerly menacing tyrannical dinosaur tried to plead with the demon, but the recently digivolved creature was in no mood for talking. Xander watched on with a slight grin as the claws of his companion ripped through DarkTyrannomon?s gut. The dinosaur went to yelp in agony, but before he could utter a protestation, his demonic adversary ripped his clawed fingers out through the tyrant?s sides. Streams of broken and ruptured data chains escaped the massive wounds; Devimon raised his right hand once again. With a final slash of his scintillating digits, the hybridization of bat, man, and devil that was Devimon swiftly decapitated DarkTyrannomon. Just as the severed cranium was rolling toward the feet of its destroyer, both body and head shattered into incoherent strings of data.

Devimon turned to face Xander, and the two of them shared a strange smile as the remnants of DarkTyrannomon faded to nothingness?assimilated back into the Digital World. A boom of thunder and its lightening compliment broke the silence of the night sky. The towering devil took a step forward as his form devolved into a white mass. DemiDevimon emerged once again as the end product, but this DemiDevimon wore nothing but confidence. Without any words, Xander and his digital partner started toward the direction of the setting moon.
