Death of a Bad One (Abaddon)

Post by Adrian Boriker on Oct 7, 2023 4:08:40 GMT
It was a little bit past noon on this fine, sunny day in the Digital World. A few clouds were spotted above in the bright blue sky, but they weren't nearly dark enough to be storm clouds. Autumn had made its way to the city of Rosewood, the leaves on the trees turning various shades of red, orange, and yellow, and the Digimon themselves were decorating the city with fall and Halloween-like decorations, taking inspiration from human world traditions.
Inside one of these houses in the city was a human and Digimon pair that many would be familiar with: Adrian Boriker and his Digimon partner Shoutmon. Adrian was in the kitchen with various bowls, pans, and cooking utensils sprinkled all over the table and countertops, looking at a recipe for yakimeshi (or Japanese fried egg) that his mother had sent him a while ago, while Shoutmon was lounging on a couch in the living room, heads behind his back and his right leg leaning over the left one. The two were left at home alone today, so Adrian was in charge of making lunch since Shoutmon was banned from the kitchen.
"I hope I'm doing this right..." Adrian said. He was simultaneously looking at a recipe document on his D-Terminal while also cooking said recipe. "I've never made anything like this before, so it's probably not going to turn out to be very good."
"I'm sure it'll be way better than anything I'll ever make," Shoutmon called out from the living room. "We could've just heated up some ramen cups, you know."
"No, I've got to learn how to do things for myself," Adrian insisted. "I barely know how to do the laundry, I don't have a driver's license, and those home economics classes in high school barely taught me anything about cooking. I just want to be able to look after myself, you know?"
"Yeah yeah, I getcha," Shoutmon responded. "I'm just saying, you don't gotta stress about your dish bein' perfect. You know me, I'll eat anything given to me."
Adrian chuckled. "Yeah, anything and everything," he said in a joking manner. "Now, what's the next step for these eggs..."

At long last, the day had come when Abaddon could no longer keep his own bloodlust and desire for vengeance against Adrian and Shoutmon restrained any longer. One way or another, their feud will reach its conclusion, with one side ultimately meeting a gruesome end before the sun sets.
That was all Abaddon could think about as he made his final march towards Adrian and Shoutmon's house in his DarkKnightmon form, saving his Plutomon form for later so as to conserve energy. Returning to Adrian and Shoutmon's house was easy, given how he'd been there not too long ago for his disastrous duel with Shoutmon and his merc- his former mercenaries' botched assassination attempt that nearly ruined everything! NO... no. Getting angry now would be a waste of energy. Better to save it for a more deserving target. As Abaddon reached his destination, he could see his targets through the window. Adrian was in the kitchen, while his partner as in the living room.
If he had been in his natural Shademon or Eyesmon form, Abaddon could've tried sneaking inside the house by slithering under the door or a window. However, the self-proclaimed Lord of Nightmares was in no mood for stealth, opting to just punch his way through the wall in order to try and grab Shoutmon so that he could pull the red dragon outside and throw him into a nearby tree. "Did you think you could hide from me forever, Shoutmon?! I will hunt you to the ends of BOTH worlds if I have to!"

Normally, Shoutmon wouldn't be too bothered about the Digimon he can sense nearby while he was at home. He was in a neighborhood filled with other Digimon, it was natural that he'd be able to sense them. However, right now he could feel a very sinister signature, one that he had not felt for a while. He slowly sat up, his brain deciding not to put in the energy for a full-on panic mode. Shoutmon waited to see what would happen... CRASH!It all happened in an instant. Something had punched right through the wall and grabbed a hold of Shoutmon. The red dragon struggled to breathe, to free himself from the grasp of this force who he still hadn't figured out who it was, before he was dragged outside and thrown right into a tree. Of course, Shoutmon crashed right through this tree, causing it to fall over right in front of the pathway to the house. Adrian, of course, was not dense enough to miss the commotion happening. Turning off the cooking appliances, he ran to the living room, where he saw a giant gaping hole in the wall, and a DarkKnightmon in the front yard standing menacingly over Shoutmon. "Shit," Adrian quietly muttered as he ran outside through the hole in the wall. "Shoutmon!""Ungh..." Shoutmon groaned. He sat up and rubbed one of the many spots of his head that hurt. That's when he heard that voice... and he looked up at his attacker with a terrified expression. "You... it's you...!"
"No way..." Adrian said as he looked up at the DarkKnightmon, putting together the pieces in his head. Slowly but surely, the expressions of both the human and Digimon shifted from terror to pure anger. Without any form of hesitation, Adrian pulled out his Digivice and activated it. allowing Shoutmon to evolve to his OmniShoutmon form.
"Shoutmon, Warp Evolution! OmniShoutmon!"
The golden-clad dragon Digimon then grabbed onto Abaddon's throat, dashing up into the air and flying him to the same clearing the two of them had their duel in. He slammed the DarkKnightmon onto the ground, using all of his strength to hold him down, as well as choking Abaddon in the process. The expression on OmniShoutmon's face would terrify even the bravest of souls.
"You made a huge freaking mistake, Roland," OmniShoutmon growled. "Attack me all you want, I'll retaliate how I see fit. But attack me at my home, without any regard to my friends and my family?! No, I'm not gonna let that slide. I won't let you hurt anyone else ever again. I'm going to kill you, and believe me when I say it is going to hurt."

The look of sheer terror on Shoutmon's face when he finally recognized his attacker, no matter how brief, was just as beautiful as Abaddon had imagined. "Oh, good. You haven't forgotten me after all, Little Tyrant, even if I have acquired a new form since we last fought. You may have bested me twice before, but you won't do so- *GRRK*!"
The dark knight's little monologue ended up getting cut short as Shoutmon quickly digivolved into OmniShoutmon and slammed Abaddon into the ground by the throat. Despite the pain, Abaddon chuckled as he struggled to breathe in the golden dragon's grip. "A bold claim... from you. Last time we fought, … you could've finished me off... yet you couldn't bring yourself... to do it. But I will. Slide digivolution, DarkKnightmon to Eyesmon!"
Within OmniShoutmon's grip, Abaddon's armor melted into a pool liquid darkness that slithered away before reforming into a familiar serpentine shape that attempted to slither over towards Adrian and coil itself around him in order to use him as a living shield while Abaddon unleashed a barrage of eye lasers upon OmniShoutmon at the same time. "Aw, you want me to leave your precious family alone? Unfortunately, they make for a perfect weakness to exploit against you! Well, unfortunate for YOU, that is! AhahahaHAHAHA!" Cooldowns: -Janengan: Eyesmon fires lasers from his eyes, all aimed at a single target.

OmniShoutmon wasn't inclined to listen to another word the monster had to say, happily interrupting the DarkKnightmon by grabbing his throat and slamming him into the clearing. OmniShoutmon knew that this fight was going to be messy, and the last thing he wanted were innocent humans and Digimon getting caught in the collateral damage.
But even being strangled wasn't enough to shut Abaddon's mouth. He taunted that OmniShoutmon had the chance to kill him before, and he simply couldn't do it. That wasn't quite true, however. Shoutmon knew that "Roland" was Abaddon back then, and he only let him go because Adrian wasn't as convinced as Shoutmon was. He convinced Shoutmon to let Roland go.
And now it looked like the human would pay the price for showing some humanity.
Abaddon suddenly evolved, his now liquid-like dark body slipping out of OmniShoutmon's hand effortlessly. OmniShoutmon turned and watched as the dark mass slithered right towards Adrian, who had just made it to the clearing to join up with his partner. "ADRIAN, LOOK OUT!" OmniShoutmon called out. However, it was just too late, as Adrian was successfully coiled up with the Eyesmon's body.
"Augh-hey! Let... me... go!" Adrian growled as he tried thrashing around, trying to break himself free from the Eyesmon's grasp. Meanwhile, OmniShoutmon was left attempting to dodge the barrage of eye lasers that Abaddon was shooting at him, which he had no problem dodging due to OmniShoutmon's speed and agility. All the while, Abaddon's talk about OmniShoutmon's family being a weakness for him to exploit just caused OmniShoutmon to grow even angrier.
"Fuck this," Adrian muttered as he stretched out a palm to one of Abaddon's many eyes as a bright flash of digital code shot from his hand. A Ki Arts blast, harmless but bright enough to disorient Abaddon for a short time and allowing Adrian to get free. Of course, Abaddon was shooting eye lasers earlier, so that could possibly be a problem. "OmniShoutmon, now!"
"Twin Energy Strike!"
OmniShoutmon's fist started to glow a golden light as he delivered the punch to a disoriented Abaddon, holding nothing back as his fist collided with the dark, liquid-like body. When you threaten OmniShoutmon's family in front of him, there is no going back from that, as that is all the motivation Shoutmon needs to not lose this fight.
Adrian uses a Ki Arts blast to disorient Abaddon and cause him to let the human go.
OmniShoutmon uses this opportunity to deliver a "Twin Energy Strike" attack at Abaddon.

Alright, the Ki Blast thing was something new, which obviously meant that Abaddon had no planned counter for someone detonating a makeshift flashbang right in one of his eyes! The Eyesmon screamed in response to this, his coils loosening enough for Adrian to be able to make his escape. By the time he managed to clear his vision, Abaddon was caught off-guard by OmniShoutmon's follow-up attack, the two holy punches literally sending Abaddon skidding across the grass hard enough to leave trails in the dirt.
"Oh, you little-" Abaddon started, before he spat out a tooth that had been knocked out by one of OmniShoutmon's punches hitting him in the jaw. The sight of the tooth made Abaddon growl in irritation before he turned his glare back to Adrian and OmniShoutmon. Well, at least the missing tooth in mouth was proof that OmniShoutmon was actually taking this fight seriously. "Alright, that's it. I was considering sparing your little human once I finished you off, but now he dies with you, OmniShoutmon! "
Now, it was time for Abaddon to do what he does best: traumatizing people with nightmarish hallucinations.The Eyesmon's many eyes all glowed bright red, their pupils turning into spirals as Abaddon attempted to hypnotize Adrian and OmniShoutmon into seeing their worst fears. "I like to call this trick my Nightmare Reverie!" -Amorphous Body(passive): Eyesmon can reshape his body at will in order to help him evade incoming attacks, increasing his evasion by 30%. -Nightmare Reverie: Eyesmon's many eyes begin to glow as their pupils take on a swirling shape, casting a hex on everyone in a 30m radius. For three turns, EVERYBODY caught within the radius of this move is subject to horrific hallucinations that only they are able to see, taking a noticeable hit to their accuracy and overall sanity for that duration (AKA a 25% accuracy debuff plus gradual damage over time for the duration of the curse). 4 post cooldown. (Duration: 0/3)

Adrian's Ki Blast solution worked like a charm. Abaddon was temporarily blinded and distracted enough to loosen the coils around him, letting him slip out of the monster's grasp with ease. OmniShoutmon's follow up attack was also super effective, catching the Eyesmon off guard and causing him to slide along the grass. He even managed to punch a tooth loose, as shown by the way Abaddon spat it out after getting up. "Adrian, are you okay?" OmniShoutmon asked, kneeling down to Adrian's level. "I'm fine, I'm all good," Adrian responded, merely rubbing the spot where Abaddon had him tangled up. "I got away before he could actually do anything, so don't worry about me."
By this point, Abaddon was majorly pissed off. He went on about how he was planning on letting Adrian live (which they both knew was a load of bull,) but now he was intending to murder both of them at the same time. Suddenly, Abaddon's many eyes started glowing red, their pupils becoming spirals. Adrian's and OmniShoutmon both felt a sudden sharp stinging in their heads, and they blinked to readjust their blurry vision. But neither one of them were prepared for what they would see next. "What the hell was that...?" OmniShoutmon asked, looking down at Adrian. But where Adrian once stood... well, Adrian was still there, but now he resembled a bloodied and rotted corpse, staring at the golden dragon with his eyes missing."̵Y̶o̵u̸'̷r̸e̵ ̵t̵h̴e̷ ̵r̸e̶a̶s̴o̴n̵ ̷I̵ ̸w̸a̷s̷ ̸m̷u̷r̴d̷e̸r̵e̸d̷,̴" "Adrian" said, his voice distorted. OmniShoutmon yelled in surprise and backed away. He felt something brush past his leg. He looked down, and there was Skye, her white fur soaked in blood and corroded data, her eyes also missing. She twisted her head 180 degrees like an owl to look at OmniShoutmon. "̷W̶e̶'̵r̴e̶ ̸d̶e̴a̴d̶ ̵b̷e̴c̵a̷u̷s̶e̷ ̵o̸f̶ ̴y̷o̴u̷,̴" "Skye" said, her voice also distorted.
More entities like this came and surrounded OmniShoutmon. Luneth, Rory, Gem, Serena, Sol, Kaya, Hawkeye, Owen, Bezil, Speed, Psych, Yuji, Kazuo, Kohaku, Ruri, Kaito, Hana, Data, Rush... everyone Shoutmon has known and cares for, all bloodied, rotted, and looking right at him with black voids where their eyes once were. Each one of them chanted ominously about how Shoutmon got them killed because of Abaddon. "̴H̸e̴ ̴o̴n̷l̸y̷ ̴w̸a̵n̵t̸e̷d̴ ̶Y̸O̶U̵.̸" "̷A̸l̸l̷ ̶w̷e̴ ̷w̵e̶r̷e̶ ̵g̴u̷i̴l̸t̶y̴ ̴o̶f̵ ̴w̷a̵s̴ ̸K̷N̴O̵W̷I̷N̵G̵ ̸y̷o̶u̵.̴" "̷W̴e̶ ̵w̸e̵r̷e̶ ̷s̶i̵m̴p̶l̸y̷ ̵i̷n̷ ̸h̴i̷s̴ ̶w̸a̵y̵.̴.̵.̷" "̴Y̸o̵u̵ ̵d̸i̸d̶n̷'̶t̶ ̷p̸r̶o̶t̵e̴c̴t̵ ̸u̷s̴.̸" "̵Y̸o̵u̴ ̴C̷O̴U̷L̸D̸N̵'̵T̸ ̶p̵r̵o̵t̸e̵c̴t̴ ̶u̵s̴!̸" "̴Y̸o̶u̷'̵r̵e̵ ̸n̷o̴t̵h̵i̶n̶g̶ ̶b̴u̷t̵ ̵a̷ ̵d̸i̴s̴e̴a̸s̴e̸ ̸t̵o̵ ̵a̶l̴l̴ ̸y̵o̴u̴ ̸m̵e̵e̵t̷.̷" "̷H̸e̶ ̸k̷i̸l̸l̶e̵d̴ ̶m̴e̴ ̴t̷o̸ ̴g̷e̵t̸ ̸t̸o̴ ̵y̸o̸u̵.̷" "̸H̵e̵ ̷t̸o̶r̷e̸ ̷m̶e̴ ̸a̵p̴a̵r̵t̶,̷ ̴l̸i̸m̵b̶ ̸b̷y̸ ̶l̵i̵m̴b̶.̵.̷.̷" "̷A̵l̴l̴ ̵b̴e̶c̴a̶u̸s̴e̴ ̸Y̵O̵U̷ ̴C̸O̸U̴L̵D̶N̸'̷T̷ ̶K̸I̶L̶L̷ ̶H̶I̸M̴!̷"
"No, stop, please... I'm sorry... I never wanted any of this to happen, please, you have to believe me!" OmniShoutmon cried out, tears rolling down his face as he backed away from all of his dead loved ones. "Please... please forgive me... I just wanted to be good for once..."
Meanwhile, Adrian opened his eyes up... and he was back in his first childhood home. He looked around and saw his parents' friend, a plump woman with dark brown hair and glasses (who would soon be Kaya's mother) watching anime with him in the living room. "Ugh... Miyoko?" Adrian was stunned at how high pitched his voice was.
"Yes, Adrian?"
"I feel like I'm getting deja vu..." He sat there, trying to think of why this felt familiar to him. The realization hit him like a dump truck, his eyes widening. "Miyoko, we need to call the poli-"
CRASH!
It was too late. The front door swung open, and four athletic men came in. Two of them went upstairs, while the other two grabbed onto both Adrian and Miyoko. Adrian could do nothing to change this anymore. They both screamed and yelled as their hands were both tied up to the couch. Soon after, the two other men came back downstairs with Adrian's brother, Aaron, and Miyoko's son, Atsushi, who were also thrashing around to free themselves, before they too had their hands tied to the couch.
The four of them could only watch as two of the strange men ransacked the house, with the other two threatening to execute any of the victims who tried to get smart and get themselves freed. An eight year old Adrian could only cry out, begging the men to stop and let them go. "PLEASE! GO AWAY! PLEAAAASE!"

With his magical trap sprung, Abaddon grinned sadistically as he watched his illusions take hold in the minds of his foes. Not many were aware of this, but Abaddon could, in fact, see the hellish torture he was putting his victims through via his Nightmare Reverie. OmniShoutmon's was exactly what Abaddon expected (his friends and family blaming him for their deaths), whereas Adrian seemed to be reliving a traumatic childhood memory. Such pain! Such horrific anguish, leaving both of his victims utterly rooted in place!
Abaddon was so engrossed in relishing his foes' suffering that he almost forgot that they were in the middle of a life-and-death battle! With his foes thoroughly incapacitated, Abaddon seized his chance to bay OmniShoutmon back for slugging him by spawning a group of Eyesmon Scatter Modes to latch onto OmniShoutmon and feed on his data before sending the data back to Abaddon in order for him to heal himself.
All in all, Abaddon was rather proud of how effective his illusions had proven to be, although he was still wary enough to keep his distance from OmniShoutmon in case the armor-clad warrior managed to somehow regain his wits prematurely. -Amorphous Body(passive): Eyesmon can reshape his body at will in order to help him evade incoming attacks, increasing his evasion by 30%.
-Nightmare Reverie: Eyesmon's many eyes begin to glow as their pupils take on a swirling shape, casting a hex on everyone in a 30m radius. For three turns, EVERYBODY caught within the radius of this move is subject to horrific hallucinations that only they are able to see, taking a noticeable hit to their accuracy and overall sanity for that duration (AKA a 25% accuracy debuff plus gradual damage over time for the duration of the curse). 4 post cooldown. (Duration: 1/3)
-Scatter Leech: Eyesmon has small portions of his body break off and become Eyesmon Scatter Modes, which latch onto his opponent and leech away part of their data before returning to Eyesmon and healing him with the stolen data. 4 post CD (2 for damage, 2 for healing). (0/4)

From OmniShoutmon's point of view, Abaddon didn't send a group of Scatter Modes over to him to leech off of his data. Instead, he saw the attack as all of his dead friends leaping up on top of him, biting right into his golden armor and eating his data that way. Feeling the weight of the attack, OmniShoutmon fell to the ground, yelling out in pain... but he didn't do anything to swipe away at his ex-friends eating him alive. He just let them consume as much of him as they pleased.
Almost as if... he felt that he deserved it. "You know they aren't real, right?"
OmniShoutmon's eyes widened as he heard that familiar voice. He turned his head back and forth, before his eyes landed on something that looked like Adrian as OmniShoutmon knew him, only with some kind of white glowing aura surrounding him. Needless to say, he was very confused. "What...?"
"Do you remember Abaddon murdering any of your friends? Or me? And if he did, why would we blame you?"
No, OmniShoutmon didn't remember... but it didn't make him feel any better. "I'm the one who was dumb enough to antagonize him. He found out where I lived, who my friends and family were. Maybe if I didn't lose my temper, or be so focused on him in the first place, then all of you wouldn't have to be dragged into my problems. It's Omni all over again... I should've just left to find him so that you all didn't have to suffer."
"If Abaddon did kill us, then that'd all be his fault, not yours. Shoutmon, you have friends and family that love you and support you. No matter what happens, we're always going to be there for you because we want to be. You're a kind and caring Digimon, and I know you just want to protect us at any cost. But you don't have to do that. We're going to be right there by your side, because we care about you as much as you care about us. So please... don't shut us out again."
OmniShoutmon closed his eyes, still not swayed by what this Adrian apparition was saying to him.
"You've never given up on me before, so don't you dare start now. Let us... let me help you, just like I did before." The apparition extended his hand to OmniShoutmon."We're in this together, and we always will be."
Adrian couldn't stop crying. He couldn't stop crying back then, and he sure as hell couldn't now. Four men broke into his house, they were tearing everything apart, and he didn't know if they were going to kill him and his family or not. He squeezed his eyes shut as the tears came down, praying that all of this would be over. He wanted these men to leave...He wanted to live. "Hey, bud... you doin' okay?"
A familiar voice. Adrian opened his eyes, and Shoutmon was standing beside him, only he seemed to be glowing. Adrian scoffed. "What do you think?! Of course I'm not doing okay, how could ANYONE be okay after this?!"
"Well, you managed just fine so far, I thought. You're stronger and more brave than you know."
"No, I'm not! I'm a coward, I've always been! I run away when things get hard, I put myself first before everyone else, I can't even get over my fear of driving! I'm a broken mess of a person, I always need SOMEONE to depend on in my life, and I can't do anything right!"
"Adrian, look at me... think back to our adventures together. Back when Omni kidnapped you, you were strong for holding your ground until help came. You even jumped out of an airship, for crying out loud! You were brave enough to tell a Digimon many times your size to stand down multiple times; to think of a way past the Guilmon in the museum Digital Shift; and to think of a way to stop DinoHumon from pursuing us. Even during that time that I got taken by pirates, you kept your cool and did well on your own until you saved me. And above everything else... you inspire me, every day, to be the Digimon I am now, to be someone worth loving again. You helped me face and overcome my demons, Adrian. Let me help you face yours this time, alright?"
The Shoutmon apparition extended a hand out to Adrian."We're in this together, and we always will be."

Abaddon froze at what he was witnessing, his sadistic grin melting into confusion and then absolute shock. Both Adrian and Omnishoutmon were still trapped in their respective nightmares, yet they were somehow appearing as apparitions to each other to help them break free of his trap at the same time?! Was... was their bond so strong that they were able to reach each other subconsciously?!
"How... how is this possible?!" Abaddon muttered to himself. Unable to comprehend what he was witnessing, Abaddon scrabbled backwards a few feet before he looked down at the ground and realized just what he'd done. Is this... fear? Why? I've never reacted like this any other time someone's seen through my illusions. So why now?!
At that moment, something seemed to snap within Abaddon, his pupils narrowing into pinpricks while his claws left long gouges in the dirt. "Ha... ha... ahahahahaHAHAHA! You think this changes ANYTHING?! I'm not the one who's going to die today! Janengan! Janengan! JANENGAN!"
In his madness, Abaddon unleashed an absolute torrent of lasers upon OmniShoutmon with as much energy as he could put into the barrage, trying to scour every trace of the golden dragon off the face of the Digital World. -Amorphous Body (passive): Eyesmon can reshape his body at will in order to help him evade incoming attacks, increasing his evasion by 30%. -Nightmare Reverie: Eyesmon's many eyes begin to glow as their pupils take on a swirling shape, casting a hex on everyone in a 30m radius.

With seemingly everything around them wanting to keep them afraid, both Adrian and OmniShoutmon were hesitant to listen to these apparitions of each other, who were each offering to help. OmniShoutmon would be the first to reach his hand out from the pile of his dead friends, reaching towards Adrian's. The real Adrian would follow shortly after, shakily reaching his hand out towards his red dragon friend. Then, their hands shook...
And the world returned to normal for both of them. They would need a moment to truly get their bearings back, but at the very least, they didn't feel scared anymore. It took OmniShoutmon a little bit to realize the Scatter Modes crawling all over him, however. "Ew, gross! Get off!" he yelled, managing to swipe them all off of his body.
"I never want to go through that again..." Adrian muttered with a sigh. "Thanks for helping me through that, Shoutmon."
"Huh? You were the one that helped me, I thought..." OmniShoutmon responded. This brief moment of confusion was interrupted when Abaddon started laughing wildly, as if he had finally lost what little of his mind he had left. It didn't take long for the Eyesmon to fire wave after wave of eye lasers at OmniShoutmon in a frenzied attempt to finally murder him.
"Adrian, take cover!" OmniShoutmon quickly yelled before dashing as fast as he could to avoid the attacks. Doing so proved to be a very challenging task for the gold dragon, due to the frenzied nature of the attacks being thrown his way. He couldn't stop the few lasers from grazing past his armor, dealing a bit of a stinging sensation. As OmniShoutmon ran, his arm began charging with more gold energy, making his arm take the appearance of an energy blade. However, if he were to run towards Abaddon at his current speed, he'd surely be taking the rapid fire laser hit head on.
And that's where Adrian came into play. He saw OmniShoutmon's arm change, and he knew exactly what his partner needed. He quickly pulled out a card from his card holder and slashed it with his D-Arc. "Digi-Modify! Lightning Implant Activate!"
Sparks of lightning would then shoot out from OmniShoutmon's body, signifying his increase in speed. To the human eye, it would've seemed as if OmniShoutmon had vanished from sight, before seemingly materializing right in front of Abaddon and slashing him across the face, as well as his many eyes, with his golden energy blade-arm. "Omni Blade!"
OmniShoutmon attempts to dodge Abaddon's MANY "Janengan" attacks. With the help of "Lightning Implant," he charges up an "Omni Blade" attack that he uses directly on Abaddon.

The moment he heard Adrian activate the Lightning Implant card, Abaddon knew he had to act quickly. His Eyesmon form, while evasive, was lacking in overall attack power. "Slide evolution, Eyesmon to DarkKnightmon!"As OmniShoutmon charged at him with his enhanced speed, Abaddon quickly manifested the black armor and lance of his DarkKnightmon form. The instant his weapon was in his grip, Abaddon tried to parry OmniShoutmon's energy blade. It wouldn't be enough to full deflect the attack, but it did shift the blade enough for it to stab into his side rather than deliver a fatal blow to his core. "Grgh, you haven't... lost your edge at all, Shoutmon. But just as you have your tricks..." Abaddon coughed out as he pulled out a spherical capsule containing seven red orbs in an H-shaped formation and two perpendicular rings orbiting them. "... So do I. X-EVOLUTION!"
As Abaddon crushed and absorbed the capsule, he ripped OmniShoutmon's blade out of his side while his body was lost amidst a bright purple glow as it grew in size to match OmniShoutmon. The dark knight's body became spikier and more sinister looking, radiating an aura of sheer power as he stared his foe in the eye with dark glee. "You have no chance at stopping me while I have this kind of power! I WILL have my vengeance!"
-Nightmare Reverie: Eyesmon's many eyes begin to glow as their pupils take on a swirling shape, casting a hex on everyone in a 30m radius. For three turns, EVERYBODY caught within the radius of this move is subject to horrific hallucinations that only they are able to see, taking a noticeable hit to their accuracy and overall sanity for that duration (AKA a 25% accuracy debuff plus gradual damage over time for the duration of the curse). 4 post cooldown. (Duration: 3/3) -Scatter Leech: 2/4 -X-Evolution: DarkKnightmon absorbs a capsule containing the X-Antibody, allowing him to temporarily transform into DarkKnightmon X. This transformation temporarily boosts his attack power by 200% until it wears off, without affecting his moveset at all. The transformation usually only lasts three turns, although DarkKnightmon can choose to extend this another turn at the cost of being unable to attack or move for one turn after the transformation ends due to exhaustion. Once per thread only. (Duration 0/3)

Abaddon tried his hardest to counter or parry OmniShoutmon's blade attack in any way. He ended up slide evolving to another form, DarkKnightmon, with which he used his weapon to parry OmniShoutmon's blade. It wasn't entirely successful, however, as the energy blade still managed to stab into Abaddon's side. Normally, OmniShoutmon tried to avoid delivering deep wounds to his opponents in this way. But this time? Abaddon made it personal. OmniShoutmon's eyes widened when Abaddon pulled out some kind of sphere. He'd never seen anything like it before; it was almost glass-like, containing seven red orbs in an H-shape formation. "What the hell is that?" OmniShoutmon growled, although he was unable to stop Abaddon from being able to use it. X-Evolution...?!The DarkKnightmon crushed the orb in his hand, absorbing its energy within himself. From there, he was able to effortlessly pull OmniShoutmon's energy blade out of his side, his body glowing intensely with dark energy before revealing it had transformed into a much more sinister-looking body, radiating an aura of sheer power. "What in the world..." Adrian said. "What did he just do to himself!?""I... I don't know..." OmniShoutmon admitted. "This power I'm sensing... it's different than anything I've ever felt before. Adri, evolve me to Mega!""If he's studied us, then he knows that form like the back of his hand, Shoutmon! We need something... new..." That's when Adrian realized that although Abaddon had studied Shoutmon's main evolution line, he'd seen nothing of the ice ones yet... and with Abaddon emanating this kind of power, they'd have to go as powerful themselves as they could. Adrian pressed a button on his D-Arc, and the entire thing turned to a shade of icy blue. "Look like winter's coming early for you, DarkKnightmon!"
"OmniShoutmon... Mega Evolution!"
What Abaddon would likely have been expecting was for RedMagnamon to appear. But this Digimon was definitely not RedMagnamon. It was a blue dragon-like knight with a clear ice theme and a red sash wrapped around his waist flowing outward, and in his hand was what appeared to be a spear made entirely out of ice. "Hexeblaumon!"
Hexeblaumon knew he couldn't take chances when it came to Abaddon, and he was determined to use his full power. He raised his hands to the sky, and Abaddon could feel it start to get colder and colder. If he looked up at the sky at any point, he'd see a giant chunk of ice about to crash right into him at full speed. "Arctic Meteor!"
OmniShoutmon digivolves to Hexeblaumon and uses "Arctic Meteor" on Abaddon.
Moves
Arctic Meteor: Using all the power that he has available, Hexeblaumon creates a powerful meteor-like chunk of ice in the sky. Before the target has a chance to look at the icy comet and see their life flash before their eyes, Hexeblaumon sends it down onto the planet below right at the target. Cooldown is five posts.
Cards Active Lightning Implant: The target Digimon's speed is increased to three times to that of it's original speed. (1/3)

At his foes' confusion over what Abaddon had just done, the DarkKnightmon X took a moment to gloat a bit. "What you've just witnessed was me utilizing the power of the X-Antibody to achieve this form's true potential!"
Omnishoutmon's response to the dark knight showing off like this was obviously to try and digivolve to even the odds, but Abaddon was visibly shocked to see the resulting evolution be Hexeblaumon rather than the RedMagnamon form Shoutmon was usually known to use. As the icy knight dropped a literal iceberg on him, Abaddon's panic shifted into a sort of resignation as he was forced to admit to himself that he had been too hasty in his desire for revenge, causing him to overlook the possibility of Shoutmon having alternate lines like Abaddon himself.
Obviously, Abaddon wasn't going to simply give up. As the icy comet fell, the DarkKnightmon X used all of his strength to try and hold up the ice, his sheer determination and X-Antibody transformation actually allowing him to briefly lift the iceberg a few inches before he inevitably buckled beneath its sheer weight.
As the ice settled, silence would reign on the battlefield as if the world was holding its collective breath to see if Abaddon had succumbed to Hexeblaumon's strongest attack. But the sound of cracking ice would soon fill the air, the entire mass of ice rumbling and shaking before the center promptly exploded outward in a rush of force, revealing something much more worrying than Abaddon's DarkKnightmon X transformation.
"DarkKnightmon X, Matrix Evolution. Plutomon." Abaddon cracked his neck as he emerged from what was supposed to become his icy tomb and glared up at Hexeblaumon. His last-minute Digivolution didn't negate the damage from the attack, but it did allow him to fare better than he would as a DarkKnightmon. His cloak and armor were cracked and frosted over, but Abaddon wasn't down for the count quite yet. "I wasn't planning to reveal this form so soon, but needs must, I suppose. Now, die."
With that cold declaration, a multitude of shadowy arms burst out of Abaddon's shadow and stretched towards Hexeblaumon, claws outstretched with the intent to tear into the icy knight's armored flesh. -Nightmare Reverie: (CD: 0/4) -Scatter Leech: 3/4 -Cursed Hands: Numerous black arms burst emerge from the shadows and grab onto one of Plutomon's foes, clawing at the target and binding them in place for 1 turn. 4 post CD (1 for damage, 3 for snare). (0/4) (Would this buff still be active despite digivolving? I honestly don't know.) -X-Evolution: +200% attack power. (Duration 1/3)

"And what exactly is the X-Antibody?" Adrian asked, his desire to know what the hell that even is outweighing his fear of the new form that Abaddon had taken.
At this point, the two of them were just done putting up with Abaddon's bull crap. He was the one that went after them, in their very own home, and he made it very clear that he wasn't going to let up until one of them was dead. So Adrian had no qualms with evolving his partner to Hexeblaumon, and Hexeblaumon had no qualms with dropping a huge chunk of ice on Abaddon out of the gate. And while Abaddon was heavily damaged from the attack, he was still somehow standing as the ice cracked and shattered.
But what made the scene more chilling was that Abaddon digivolved again, this time to his own Mega form: Plutomon, A demonic knight-looking Digimon with sharp claws, a red cape, maw-like shoulder pads with sharp teeth, and a demon-like tail. Hexeblaumon gripped his spear tightly as he watched Abaddon approach him, partly due to fear and partly due to anger that this creep was still alive.
Then Abaddon sent an attack Hexeblaumon's way. Multiple shadowy arms emerged from the Plutomon's shadow, grabbing onto Hexeblaumon and successfully tearing their claws into him. Hexeblaumon howled in pain as the attack hit true, and he would find soon after that he was being held in place, unable to move any part of his body outside of his head.
"HEXEBLAUMON!"
"Hrrrg-! I can't... get... free...!" Hexeblaumon cried out, still struggling to break his way out of his shadowy binds. Thankfully, Hexeblaumon realized that there was an attack he could do without needing to move his arms. The dragon-like jaws on his left shoulder quickly opened up, a blast of cold energy firing from its mouth right at Abaddon. "Absolute Blast!"
Hexeblaumon is successfully struck by Abaddon's "Cursed Hands" move, dealing extra damage due to "X-Evolution." Hexeblaumon attempts to fire back with "Absolute Blast."
Moves
Absolute Blast: The dragon jaws on Hexeblaumon's left shoulder opens up, delivering a far more powerful wave of absolute zero cold energy, doing even more damage than before. Cooldown is three posts.
