Tsukaimon's yelling had different effects on Katsura and Nyao. Nyao just sent him a smug wink with her eye knowing full well she had hit a soft spot. Katsura meanwhile was more affected as she made a thoughtful sigh, she could sorta get where Willis was coming from and why he was trying so hard to boss around a bigger digimon, Katsura had done such things for years prior to becoming a tamer without remorse.
The next thing Katsura saw was the missile flying out to who knows where, taking out a large chunk of trees and starting a forest fire. At this rate, Katsura was worrying about whether there would be any forest left to save. Fighting really resulted in large amounts of collateral damage.
Back on the battlefield, the SkullGreymon seemed to prepare something huge. A large missile on his back that was likely the culprit of the gigantic explosion. Much to Nyao's dismay, simply dodging such a missile was doubtful to work, at worst Katsura could be hit by the crossfire. But then Nyao smiled, she knew exactly what to do to protect Katsura from harm and was proud to have such an opportunity to be her hero. "As long as Katsura is safe, nothing else matters. Darkness wave!" Nyao did not flee nor use her gas, instead Nyao flew closer and launched a wide swarm of bats made from dark energy from her large hand towards the missile. Eventually one of the bats hit the missile and detonated it prematurely. Now you may ask, what did Nyao gain from this? The missile exploded after barely a couple of yards while SkullGreymon and Tsukaimon was still in range leaving them very little chance to dodge. Now the targets of the missile included SkullGreymon and Tsukaimon.
Sadly for Nyao, she could not both set up the missile and get away in time. Nyao hold her arms up protecting her face, and screamed in agony as the explosion reached her.
Katsura meanwhile fell on the ground behind the tree in panic with her hands on the head. There was a good reason for this behavior, soon after the tree was gone and Katsura found herself hiding behind a tree stub, apparently Katsura knows about "duck and cover". As Katsura looked up she saw a worn out but surprisingly still standing ladyDevimon catching her breath. Where the explosion hit Nyao the hardest there was 2nd degree burn marks, her clothes were twice as torn as normal. But aside from that Nyao was okay. As hard as the explosion hit, Nyao could still fight for a long time.
Katsura hadn't noticed it yet but there was another effect of Nyao's sacrifice; Katsura's digidevice started blinking very violently almost glowing. For most people and digimon alike this was amazing, but for SkullGreymon and Willis this was very bad news. If things doesn't slow down soon, they might face a mega level.

The first missile launched flew off into the trees, but Ground Zero? Nyao had cleverly attacked the missile, causing it to detonate in range of both LadyDevimon and SkullGreymon. SkullGreymon howls in agony as his own attack burns him. Luckily for Willis, the Tsukaimon is high enough up to only feel the shockwave from the explosion. He flies up and takes cover behind his brother's head. SkullGreymon's baby brother is not happy that last attack was much too close for comfort.
At this stage in the battle, SkullGreymon has taken plenty of heavy hits. His health is floating around half his max. The Ultimate Digimon starts taking a few steps back from Nyao, trying to create distance between them. The forest fire starts to spread, as more and more smoke fills the skies. "What are you doing?! Don't back away now. It's time to destroy this nuisance." SkullGreymon lets out a low rumble, displeased with his brother barking out demands. If he could speak, he would remind Willis who's in charge, and that he's only along for the ride. A mouthpiece, but not SkullGreymon's boss.
The walking graveyard may be fatigued, but the damage has been done. It would be a while until the forest fire has run its course. For the first time in the fight, Willis is actually unsure about their chance of success. There was nowhere to run. SkullGreymon is big, but he is slow. The agile LadyDevimon would have no problem keeping up. Feeling like his back is up against the wall, Willis wonders if there is any way out of this. SkullGreymon, however, is not as shaken as his brother. While this might be the first time they are taking precautions and going on the defensive, SkullGreymon is still determined to eliminate Nyao, and continue on the warpath. Not just in the forest, but throughout the Digital World. ____________________________

After regarding her breath, Nyao shred off a large part of her clothes that was rendered pointless as result of the explosion. Now she was wearing a way more skimpy version that conveniently still covered her private parts, and this is totally not an ass-pull to appease the pg-rating.
The SkullGreymon wanted some distance between them, something Nyao was fine with granting, having seen the destruction he was capable of. Nyao flew backwards and placed herself in a direction that made sure any upcoming missile aimed straight at Nyao couldn't hit Katsura by accident (basically anywhere but right in front of Katsura). Nyao stared down at the duo for a moment to determine that SkullGreymon was in fact still willing to continue. "Mhm" And then Nyao did a pirouette in the air. "Darkness wave."
This time the swarm of dark energy bats was wide it was aimed at both SkullGreymon and Tsukaimon and this time Willis couldn't just switch shoulder to dodge the attack the bats would still hit him if he tried. Maybe victory wasn't that far away? The SkullGreymon looked exhausted and Willis wasn't suited for fight even in the short run. Nyao on the other could go on for hours as long as she didn't get herself hurt too much. It would hopefully be a long time before she'd attempt to endanger herself like that again though.

Apparently SkullGreymon's last attack left Nyao a little, exposed. If Dante and Shirou had been watching this battle on the sidelines, they probably would have ogled at the fanservice. SkullGreymon and Willis had no such distractions. This time, the little Tsukaimon wouldn't be able to dodge Nyao's attack. Another swarm of bats swooped down at the brothers. Willis is hit by a few bats, knocked back down SkullGreymon's back before grabbing hold of one of his bones. The attack did significant damage to the Rookie, and left a black mark on his side.
SkullGreymon was not eager to be hit by the bats again. The first Darkness Wave had taken its toll. SkullGreymon hardens his body, and his bones turn grey. The bats bounce off of SkullGreymon and fly back towards LadyDevimon. Steam rises from the points of impact. It had taken a while, but the walking graveyard finally broke out his Skullbuster technique. Willis Struggles to climb back up to his brother's shoulder, fatigued from the attack. "Ah, ha-ha, Way to go, brother. I only wish your Skullbuster protected me too. You'll pay for that, trashy harpy!"
It was still anyone's battle, but it looks like it would come down to who could go the longest. Nyao has more left in the tank than SkullGreymon, but if the brawny bonehead dished out some heavy hitting attacks, the tide could turn. SkullGreymon's rampage could not be allowed to continue. Substantial damage to the forest has already been done. At the end of the day, Willis would have to hold himself responsible for his role in the chaos. It still wasn't clear to Nyao and Katsura how Tsukaimon's brother came to be this prehistoric behemoth, but Willis has clearly played his part. ______________________________

This time the little Tsukaimon named Willis didn't manage to escape Nyao's wrath, you could tell by Nyao's glee that it made her proud. Then out of nowhere SkullGreymon's bones turned grey and Nyao's bats flew straight back at herself. At first, Nyao was instinctively defending again then the first bat flew towards her. "Huh?" Something deep inside Nyao's core was resonating, the holy ring she chose to absorb rather than allowing to dictate her. From the inside and out Nyao starting glowing. The first bat hit her shoulder, but Nyao felt no pain it just shrunk into her skin, in fact Nyao felt better. After realizing that the dark energy bats was not only harmless to Nyao but felt good and relaxing on the skin, Nyao started intentionally lowering her guard and allow the bats to hit her at the burn marks. The blisters shrunk and her skin returned to white, Nyao meanwhile was moaning in relief. SkullGreymon might as well have been smeared her with aloe vera judging from her reaction. This was certainly an odd reaction to dark energy. "Wow, I didn't knew I could do that. This is useful! Maybe I should return the favor... Nah"
Had it been a concentrated attack though, even this power won't have worked. At the end of the attack Nyao had to scratch the attacked areas, seemingly as if she was getting allergic. And perhaps most important, the SkullGreymon looked open to attack now. Sensing an opportunity to strike, Nyao made a psychotic smirk and then a tiny confident grin. "Let's break some bones."Nyao's large left hand started to smoke, she was preparing something huge this time. "Shaaa-" Then Nyao took off and flew way faster towards SkullGreymon than she had ever done during the entire fight. Staring at them both and was prepared to make minor detours if necessary. "Doooow-" In a few seconds Nyao would be right in front of SkullGreymon's where she would make a devastating slash with her large red claws right on the chest. "STRIKE!"
This will definitely hurt.
Darkness Absorption: (passive ability, RAM Upgrade Plus) when in physical contact with Dark energy, Nyao can convert the darkness into digital energy for herself essentially healing her by the same amount. The ability also gives Nyao a natural resistance to harm caused by dark energy (no solo digimon below Nyao's level can harm her using dark energy, it will in fact make her stronger because this ability can keep up. When a digimon her own level attacks her using dark energy the damage is halved. A digimon one level above Nyao deals 2/3 the damage and so on Shadow strike: Nyao's large left arm oozes a black smog. Nyao will rush towards a target at very high speed swinging her arm in a devastating slash. Does tremendous damage on impact and is compatible with Poison if available by inducing the nails. (cool-down 4 posts, will also start the cool-down period for Poison if used)

SkullGreymon's grey color returns to its haunting off-white shade. Surprisingly, the bats reflected by SkullGreymon's Skullbuster only healed their voluptuous adversary, due Nyao's bats being made of dark energy. Willis looks on in shock as the Skullbuster essentially backfired. SkullGreymon is furious, but doesn't possess enough critical thinking to process what happened. While things were starting to look grim for the brothers, Nyao's next attack would ultimately seal their fate.
Nyao's Shadow Strike hit the stone cold behemoth dead on, knocking the Ultimate back. Willis is thrown off of SkullGreymon and falls on the ground. SkullGreymon was already battle wounded, but that last attack reduced his health to critical levels. Willis shakes off the leaves and grass before flying back up to his brother's side. SkullGreymon finds himself in a bind. He's driven to destroy, but if he carries on in this matter it would bring his demise. There was no going back now. SkullGreymon would fight until this LadyDevimon draws her last breath. If Willis has his way, he will parade the defeated Ultimate around what's left of the forest, maybe even making her head some kind of trophy. He could hang it on one of SkullGreymon's bones, and use it to frighten Digimon as they rampage through other areas of the Digital World. Maybe they would even find their way to the Human World...
Willis rallies up his brother for one last stand. "Don't give up now, big brother! This is only the beginning of our era. Remember what those Digimon did, how they tormented us... This is our one chance to make things right. So give it all you got and destroy this cheap harlot once and for all, mah haha ha, hu hu hu ha ha ha!" Tsukaimon cheers SkullGreymon on, causing the Ultimate to build energy... rage... passion... His next attack will be overwhelming. Hopefully Nyao will stop this duo once and for all, and make sure Willis gets his just desserts for his harsh words towards Nyao. That's almost as bad as trash talking and making threats from behind a computer screen. At least Willis is within face bashing distance. __________________________________

The Shadow Strike was a total success, as the SkullGreymon was sent away by the impact Katsura could do nothing but stare in shock and awe. This was the defenseless kitty ball thing Katsura stood up for nearly a year ago? It was hard to grasp right now. For Nyao it seemed like the fight was heading towards the end, but now was too early to celebrate. The little Tsukaimon named Willis had once again cheered on SkullGreymon and Nyao had to decide what to follow up with next. In truth was there were two ways of winning a serious fight, breaking their body or breaking their spirit. Nyao had the body-part working for now if only she could survive this last man standing, so after hearing Tsukaimon's speech she giggled for a tiny moment. "Mhm, time to finish this."
With those words and a nightmare inducing display of teeth, Nyao blinked. When she opened her eyes they were glowing bloody red. Everyone who stared at her eyes would see their own worst nightmare magnified. Nyao was completely aware of that and was prepared to play her part of the monster that lurked in the dark.
Katsura meanwhile started to wonder, what did Willis mean by "torment"? How was that related to his blatant over-compensation for small size? The SkullGreymon had to be stopped, there was no doubt about that but Katsura felt she had got a clue on how to understand Willis once the fight was over.
Eyes of Dread: Nyao's eyes glows bloody red for 5 posts. During these posts anyone who looks her into the eyes will get lucid hallucinations of a far more terrifying form (as an example, for an arachnophobe Nyao could appear as a 10 foot spider queen of a black widow variant with exaggerated scary features) the target, in theory, should be intimated of Nyao if they gain eye contact. Nyao is free to move as she pleases and as long as the eye contact is maintained, the hallucination will upheld itself. Doesn't prevent retaliation should the target overcome the fear. No matter the realism of the hallucinations, this is not shapeshifting, only an illusion. The form is tailored to the victim by taking advantage of their greatest fear within their subconscious.

It was clear that the battle was coming to an end. SkullGreymon either had to go out with a blast, or face defeat. As the Ultimate builds up his rage for the next attack, something strange happens. As the brothers are looking at Nyao, suddenly she turns into a scary looking devil Digimon with red skin. SkullGreymon lets out a terrified roar. "What the- no! It can't be. Phelesmon is back! What are you doing here, leave us alone! My brother won't let you torment us anymore!"
Was this the final piece to the puzzle? The Digimon responsible for harassing the brothers day after day turned out to be none other than Phelesmon. It's no wonder the two went mad, but that does not justify their actions. SkullGreymon starts to back up. "Come on, SkullGreymon! Teach that bully a lesson! Oh god he's coming to get me again! NOOOO!" SkullGreymon fires an intense Ground Zero missile from his back at the illusion. While Nyao's eyes may have driven fear into their hearts, it didn't stop SkullGreymon from one final attack.
The missile explodes, presumably hitting its target. After the blast SkullGreymon collapses forward. The walking graveyard struggles to get up, the sound of his massive bones scraping together creating loud screeches. Willis the Tsukaimon sees Phelesmon getting closer, and struggles to fly away. He sees Katsura, who had been watching the fight. Before he has time to react, the Kuwagamon from earlier emerges from the trees to stare down the Rookie. Willis dashes back towards his brother. "Oh, come on, big brother! They're going to hurt us. You've got to keep fighting!" There is very little energy left in SkullGreymon's tank, but the behemoth refuses to stop. Willis doesn't even know if his brother could stop if he wanted to. _____________________________

A Phelesmon? There were no sport in turning from one demon into another. Nyao might as well be wearing a wig and, in her opinion at least, get the same result. Well that's the funny thing about fear everyone is afraid of something different so Nyao just played along.
And so the SkullGreymon had launched what looked like the final missile. Right until the moment where the missile was supposed to hit. *Poof* it said and Nyao was a cloud again for a brief moment. The missile thus ended up literally going through Nyao, who was now walking towards SkullGreymon. Like a movie made by Michael Bay, a large explosion soon followed behind her (eventually, the missile hit a tree).
Sensing genuinely weakness in SkullGreymon, she would walk all the up to the now falling skeleton with a serious facial expression. "It's done." Nyao will then stick her large left hand right into SkullGreymon's core on the chest, forcefully taking out his data without blinking. However, Nyao remembered her promise to Katsura and therefore, if successful will only reduce SkullGreymon into an egg.

SkullGreymon's last missile would be in vain, as it passes through the illusion of Phelesmon. The massive explosion destroys what's left of the trees on that side. Nyao walks over to SkullGreymon and absorbs his data, resulting in converting the walking graveyard down to a black and yellow egg. "Noooo! SkullGreymon..." Willis goes over and hugs the egg. "Oh my brother, it's all over now! Phelesmon finally finished the job." It was over, SkullGreymon no longer posed a threat to the forest, and Willis was no danger on his own.
It would take some time until the damage from the forest fire is fixed. Soon word will spread, and water Digimon will arrive to put out the forest fire. The Digimon in the forest celebrate the end of SkullGreymon's rampage. Kuwagamon flies out to Nyao and Willis, staring down at the Rookie. Willis lays down flat on his belly and puts his paws over his face, his ears limp. "I know, now you want to beat me up again! Well I'm used to your torture, Phelesmon!" Kuwagamon doesn't flinch, just standing there waiting to see Willis receive a suitable punishment for his actions.
What would Nyao and Katsura choose to do? They couldn't let Willis off the hook. Even if he was victimized, that didn't make it right to destroy the forest. The little Rookie awaits his fate, all alone in the world now. With his big brother gone, he was left to face Phelesmon's wrath alone.
RIP SkullGreymon. You couldn't talk, but you destroyed a bunch of trees and have a bunch of fun nicknames. Leave the memories alone.

With the giant skeleton buddy absorbed, Nyao's power had reached a new threshold where her current body couldn't keep up. There was only one solution to this: Nyao glowed completely white and grew a head in height, among other things her wings disappeared and her eye attack was canceled out. "LadyDevimon digivolve to... Minervamon."
A tall valkyrie like digimon now stared at Tsukaimon's mourning and fear unsure what to do. She tried to lift her arm but Katsura, who in the wake of the end of the fight decided to come out of hide took the hand and moved it back while shaking her head. "Like you just said, we're done."
Nyao sighed but didn't raise above the level of a pouty teenager in her objection. Then she smiled and allowed Katsura to go on. Nyao played with Katsura's hair as a petty taunt.
Katsura kneeled on the ground before Willis, in an attempt to come off sympathetic she met his eyes and said in a calm yet concerned voice. "What did Phelesmon do to you two?"

The data received from SkullGreymon was enough to push LadyDevimon to the next level. As Willis looks up, the Phelesmon illusion has been replaced by that of a Valkyrie Digimon. "Huh? You're not Phelesmon." The Tsukaimon thought Nyao would show him no mercy, but instead Minervamon showed the little brat kindness. "Phelesmon is the biggest jerk in the Digital World! He used to beat me and my brother up, back when he was still Agumon Black before becoming SkullGreymon. Phelesmon made us do bad things. He even threatened to hurt our family, if we didn't listen."
Willis starts bawling like a baby. He hugs onto the egg. "Whaawh! I'm so sorry, scary lady! I shouldn't have said all those mean things." Kuwagamon grumbles. He wants to see Tsukaimon get a whoopin'. "I know we shouldn't have destroyed the forest, but we were so mad, and we couldn't find Phelesmon and beat him up for a change! The only way we escaped his wrath is when he left our village for the day, and we left our home with our family. But then we got separated from our parents and sister, and that's when we met a Digimon that told us he could make one of us really powerful." Willis looks up at Katsura with big teary eyes and holds his paws out, asking to be picked up and hugged.
This was a far cry from the destructive duo. It turns out that Willis' tough guy act was just a façade; a mask to cover up his insecurities. Who is this Phelesmon, and what sort of wicked acts is he up to if he's tormenting Digimon, and manipulating them into serving his command? Is this a threat to the Digital World that should be eliminated by Digimon Tamers? And what could have turned Agumon Black into the undead colossus? All these questions, and yet it seems Willis has the answers.

This was what Katsura loved about digimon and why she kept coming back: No matter how cruel and destructive a digimon was, there has always been a light somewhere, even if Nyao kept telling her otherwise. Katsura listened to the Willis story. That poor thing, Katsura thought. Katsura was about to point out that a lot of families in the forest by now were homeless at best and it probably wasn't worth the time to imagine the worst case. "Um" Fortunately Willis came to the same conclusion himself before Katsura could bring it up. The little Tsukaimon was about to cry and wanted a hug.
Katsura couldn't turn down such a wish, of course she picked him up and gave him a warm hug. "Aww" It was moments like this one that made Nyao proud to be Katsura's digimon. She wasn't strong and often rather clueless but she had a big heart. Nyao couldn't help herself but smile, not a sadistic smile but a genuine one, of pride.
Katsura kept hugging Willis until he took the initiative to get off, even if it would mean kneeling like that the whole day. Was this the end of the adventure in the forest? Or what was left of it at least.

While the destruction had been done, it was time to heal. It warmed Willis' dark little heart to receive a hug. Kuwagamon grunts, as he realizes that Tsukaimon is not going to receive a beating. But the moving display moved even his heart. Kuwagamon turns to Nyao and nods, before taking off into what's left of the forest. Finally after a good while, Willis lets go of the hug. "I sure caused a lot of trouble today... but it was totally my brother's fault! Oh, who am I kidding? It was so much fun watching him destroy the forest. Doesn't look like much fun now."
It had been a hectic day. Some good things came out of it, like Nyao defeating the stone cold behemoth and digivolving to Minervamon. Now, there were two new priorities... Restoring the forest, and taking down this Phelesmon creep. Willis agrees to do what he can to help save the forest, but there's not much that he can do. "Again, I'm sorry. But now you can find Phelesmon, and stop him from ever hurting anyone again! I will stay and help, and even go with you when you fight him, but I also need to take care of my brother's egg and find my family. It was a gory battle, but thank you."
With that, the Digimon in the forest look to the future.
