Forgotten Sea Wave - [Tatsuya]

MetalGreymon X smirked when his attack made the false Iradeamon copies disappear in thin air, but was shocked as one of his best techniques was easily blocked by the real one, who was now wielding wing-like broadswords that looked like an instrument, following the musical theme that the Digimon seemed to feature. Her wings resembled loudspeakers, though the mechanized dinosaur wouldn't have time to think about it, for the dangerous Mega was about to follow his offensive and retort with one of her own.

Rapidly, he had been encircled by six of the seven wings, his head tilting rapidly between them. Should he have his Trident Arm ready, he'd just spin and take them all out at once... but now, it was still reformating, so that was out of question. He attempted to fly upwards, but it seemed that his speed failed him once again due to that negative aura that his opponent was radiating. He found himself being slashed by the weapons in a quick sucession, emiting a growl of pain when the blades cleaved his body.

In the end, Iradeamon herself launched the final slash, attempting to strike him. Rising its arms, he attempted to block it... to no avail. Perhaps it had done less damage, for it hadn't hit any vital areas, but he was launched to the ground once again. Tatsuya gawked at his partner falling as a plane that had been struck down by a powerful missile. -DORUMON!!!! -the teen shouted, but Nanami addressed him again.

-Bakatsuya... Like I told you, I'm just a memory here... I cannot help you, I'll still be your opposition until you finished this trial... Do not treat memory the same as the real person... the real Nanami, she's still waiting for you, treasuring you dearly inside her heart... That's why, even if it's just a memory, I'll entertain you... until the day you'll meet the real me. Like I said, though... if you keep extending this, you'll only will lose a friend. Do you want that? -the girl said.

Tatsuya then realized something. That was not the Nanami he knew speaking. She wasn't the real deal, only a memory that had been altered by Dark Yuuki to drag him down, for she had probably been his weakness all that time. Still... that had been a long time ago. Clenching its teeth, the boy looked at Nanami, the one who had told him that, should he keep that, he'd only lose his partner to her Iradeamon.


How dared he? How could he toy with one of his most precious memories, then command him to choose? -You... You've been tricking me all along, haven't you, Dark Yuuki? You want me to make a choice, right? Well then... I'm ready. I'm going to destroy you. Nothing will remain, you hear me?! -he shouted. Something strange happened. From the boy's shoulders, a hardly noticeable dark aura rising from its shoulders.

From the crater left before, MetalGreymon X rose, with a slightly feral look added to his eyes. His sensors scanned the Iradeamon. The Mega not being a Metal Empire Digimon would play on their favour.

OOC: Biomechanical Hazard: All of MGX's techniques against non-mechanical/Metal Empire Digimon are powered up by 20%.

How could that happen? How could they be losing to one of his memories? Was he being dragged down by them, just as Nanami spoke? Was he really so weak that he was uncapable of letting a precious memory go in order to save his fellow comrade... no, his friend? The young man had beheld his partner's fall with a desperate look in his eyes, but since when had Dorumon being so weak? No... that was not their full potential.

Embarrassed of himself, he looked to his chest, where the Crest of Determination was glowing, albeit that was turning weaker and weaker, as if it was fading out, probably a manifestation of the teen's current mental state. He was surprised by Nanami's voice, who confessed that the Trial of Doubt wasn't opposite just to Yuuki's faith, but to his own virtue as well... which meant that was also something made for him, a test that he had to pass. However... in which test were they at risk of losing something important? They were at a clear disadvantage, and Tatsuya couldn't help but to think it was all his fault.

Getting up as well as he could, MetalGreymon X looked at his partner, panting heavily. The Kazan was clearly having an internal struggle, and that feeling weakened him, a creature born from his Determination. However... he couldn't blame him. Iradeamon was strong, very strong. Stronger than any opponent they had ever faced... and things were just getting more and more difficult for them.

-"Is this... my fault? Was Dorumon right, and we're at a loss because I lost my spirit...? Am I really this weak?" -he couldn't help but to wonder, and that was when Nanami addressed him again, though he could only hear the last part. -...like your Nami would let you drag yourself down simply because of her? No, she won't... That's why, if you refused to fight, then... Unison Evolution! -the girl shouted, Iradeamon vanishing and appearing next to her.

What they both contemplated at that moment was the final push that was needed to break their resolution once and for all. The silent, yet melodious reaper enveloped Nanami's body, turning into her armor, akin to what Tatsuya had heard about a transformation the pushed one's power over the roof: Biomerge, though it was different. As the light faded and the new creature stood before them, Tatsuya pulled out his D-3, sharing a fearing expression with his partner.

-Iradeamon Chouwa Mode. A Super Mega level Digimon that has been created with an unknown method, similar to the mythical Biomerge. The strength and potential of this Digimon is currently unmeasurable. Escape is highly recommended -the Digivice read, although there was no means of escaping what was coming for them. As the new threat pointed its blades at Tatsuya, the teen kneeled as his Crest's glow disappeared, MetalGreymon X degenerating back to his previous Dorumon form.

Clenching its fists, he realized there was nothing they could do. They had failed Yuuki... they had failed everyone. -I... I... I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO...! -the teen screamed as his crest darkened, two spheres that emulated its colour envelopping him and a surprised Dorumon, both of them closing their eyes. The aura would then enclose them.

(Cue BGM: Vogel Im Käfig)

In the Digimon's side, horrific scene was taking place. As he opened his eyes, he found himself in a blood-stained ground, surrounded by fellow Digimon's corpses, slowly turning into data. The Rookie gawked, then screaming, backing off, realizing those were X-Antibody carriers, such as himself. As the memories in his mind became jointed once again, the truth about his past unveiling, he spoke out loud to himself... and whatever could hear it.

-This... this wasn't supposed to happen...! -he said, tilting his head everywhere, only seeing destruction for his kind. -I'm not the same weakling as before... I became stronger... I believed I was stronger...

All so I could avenge them. All so I could survive, and make sure that it wouldn't happen again... -his lines were interrupted by a Digimon's last words, a Kyokyomon, to be more precise. -I... I don't want to die... Please... I promise... I won't have the X-Antibody any longer... -the poor baby spoke, the last breath of life escaping its tiny mouth into oblivion. The Rookie's eyes widened, as more words crossed his mind.

-"Why... why is it that we're robbed of everything we have? Of our lives... Our freedom... our dreams...?" -his mouth then opened again, eyes getting full of bitter, tears of impotence. -WHY?! -the Digimon said, crying as he fell to its knees as well. However, his eyes then took on a dark hue never seen in it before.

-Shit... Damn, damn, damn! -he stood back up again, rising its snout to the dark sky of the sphere. -LIKE HELL I'M GOING TO DIE QUIETLY! I'LL KILL THEM ALL... NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM WILL REMAIN! I'LL... MAKE SURE OF IT! -Dorumon called out, the darkness entering its body.

In the outside, Nanami would take a sight she'd never forget as long as it existed. The two spheres became pitch-black coloured lightning, striking against each other and creating intense dark flames that faded after ten seconds. In place, a Digimon stood, without any signs of Tatsuya and Dorumon behind. It's red eyes hovered upon the enemy, a growl-like sound coming from it.

-..............

The new Super Mega Digimon stood there, silent, as if it was unconscious of itself and its actions. He was certainly not awaiting for Iradeamon to move, since he'd acted on Dorumon and Tatsuya's instincts alone, which meant that thanks to its Full Sync trait, the reflexes and karate moves Tatsuya was capable to perform would be available to Omegamon Zwart X as well. The moment the Digimon moved, though... the true battle had begun.

(Cue BGM: Vasto Lorde Theme)

The Digimon moved its left arm in front of his body, a sword coming out of the BlackWarGreymon X arm with a metallic sound, before slashing downwards, pointing to the ground. Behind it, the ground shattered, rocks sent flying due to the sheer power of the creature the duo had turned into. Afterwards, he floated into the air, his eyes still iris-less. Iradeamon Chouwa mode then took a much more offensive hue, using her blades to guard her as she summoned more clones that tried to attack him from different directions, following him...

Suddenly, the Digimon gained bloody red eyes, and emitted a powerful roar that pierced the atmosphere and made the ground shake slightly. As he screamed with bloodlust and killing intent, the move would lash out at both Iradeamon's and her clones very souls, cutting their flying abilities, thus preventing their attack onto his body. Still, the creature wasn't finished. He wouldn't let them go unscathed, no... for inside it, Tatsuya and Dorumon spoke with a common voice.

-Kill... all! -the Digimon said after using its Soul Rend ability, and slashed the air with its Grey Sword, releasing an energy-arc that would hit all of the incapacitated Iradeamon while advancing to the real one. Afterwards, he slashed two more times, sending the same energy waves to its foe in a vicious manner. That was no longer the Tatsuya Nanami knew...

OOC:

Natural Ability used:
-Soulrend: once per 5 posts, the user may release a powerful roar that strucks anyone near him, ally or enemy. The bloodlust and rage awakened by his past memories create a such intense pressure that makes anyone hearing it but him lose the ability to fly for 4 posts. Other Super Megas only suffer the effect for 3 posts, and DNA's aren't affected at all, due to one being stronger and another having 2 minds to share the pain. Cooldown begins after the effect fades.

Attack used:
-Grey Sword: Using the blade in his Grey arm, Omnimon Zwart X produces such intense power that the air is compressed in an energy wave that advances towards an enemy in a long-ranged arch, allowing to hit multiple enemies. Up to three slashes can be released, but the power of the archs following the first hit is reduced to 50%.

The dark Royal Knight looked to Iradeamon with the same expressionless face, his bloody red eyes glowing with killing intent, obviously. The creature was a mindless machine set up to destroy its target, and wouldn't stop until succeeding or being defeated by Iradeamon. As his opponent lost the capability to fly, it could only block his attack. Perhaps she would've blocked it, but the energy wave would've been damaging, regardless.

Then, they were both caught by an illusionary film, devised by the Phantasmal Reaper class Digimon, who proceeded with its offensive pattern. This time, it created a huge sword that descended towards him as seven other blades were launched. The Digimon only rose his Grey Sword, whose Digi-Code inscriptions began glowing with crimsom light. A burst of the same light emanated from his body, the capital omega symbol from the greek alphabet being drawn on the ground around him, and thus, the Omega Arts were activated.

Defense was doubled, speed and power were quadrupled, the Digimon jumping to slash the blade in a display of the terrifying power the dark Digimon wielded. He splitted the broadsword in half with a flick of his Grey Sword. Afterwards, he quickly deflected the other seven blades with a barrage of slashes and thrusts, and speeded towards Iradeamon. To the other Super Mega, his speed would be so fast that he would seem to almost teleport to the desired position, making the technique's name worthy.

When that was done, the Omegamon Zwart X vanished, appearing next to Iradeamon, driving his blade down to her in a rapid succession of strikes, which thanks to Omega Arts would be incredibly dangerous, even if only one hit, for he was attacking with four times the speed and power of a Super Mega Digimon. After that, the Digimon attempted a roundhouse kick, having inherited Tatsuya's knowledge on Karatedo.

Inside the creature, in a bubble of black and crimson shades, the eighteen year old smiled with an evil grin, eyes closed in a semi-conscious state, influenced by both his partner's and his own darkness. His mind was set on destroying the enemy, no matter who or what it was.

Omegamon laughed with a gutural sound when Iradeamon's body met his foot and took the damage of the kick. It seemed that the Digimon, however, was full of surprises, because with an eerie move, the buff he had previously obtained from Omega Arts had been mirrored. However, the dark knight felt the power increasement, but he didn't falter either way. The only thing in his mind was destruction, death, pain. Complete anihilation. And she was the first in line to met her end at the hands of the Zwart X variant of the Royal Knight.

As she used her recently increased powers to face his slashes, the two of them became envelopped in the heat of a swords fight, sparks coming out of the metal blades as they clashed against each other. However, she blocked his kick and attempted to hit him in the face with her palms, in a bold move. The Digimon, however, was just as quick to react. With a flick of his left hand, he stored the Black Grey Sword, and used the Grey Arm to grip her arm and pull it up, stopping her on her tracks and avoiding the energy wave. The sheer pressure from the grip could easily hurt a lot, being able to leave a Digimon's arm numb, specially after being empowered by Omega Arts.

However, the Digimon wasn't finished yet. There was something that she hadn't thought about, and it was very simple. Just as she had different weapons... he also had another trick up his sleeve, both figuratively and literaly. He quickly rose his Black Garuru Arm, whose maws opened, revealing a pitch-black cannon that shone under the sun. With a maniatic grunt, the Digimon spoke. -Goodbye...

Then, the Garuru Cannon was shot, a bloody crimson laser coming out of it. Due to the attack being at the Absolute Cero temperature, it would not only damage his opponent, but it would also both heavily freeze and burn Iradeamon as well, thus negating the Omega Arts speed buff she had mirrored: if you can't move, it doesn't matter how fast you are. Plus, that move being fired at point-blank range would be lethal for her, since if her entire body got frozen, that't leave her open for the dark Super Mega to finish her off.

OOC: Garuru Cannon: Omnimon Zwart X shoots a damaging energy laser from his right arm as a stream, able to stop the energy flow when desired. These beams are always at the lowest temperature: zero kelvin degrees, which makes him able to freeze and burn any part of his opponent's body impacted by the laser, greatly reducing the movement speed of that specific area while damaging it for the equivalent of a Mega attack over the 2 posts duration of the freeze. The freeze-burn effect has a 2 posts CD.
